You guys should definitely check out their songs Megitsune, Headbanger and Road of Resistance 🤘

Good reaction. 'Karate' was the lead single from the second album. It is about fighting adversity, when life knocks you down and everything seems too hard so you're hurt and crying, standing up and fighting on, helping each other through the hard times. In the video, as you saw, the figures in white were the girls all along and they were conjuring up their own inner demons to fight against. They beat the first the second knocked them down but they got up to eventually defeat themselves (when the masks shattered and it was revealed as them - look for the reflections in their eyes). They used karate to illustrate this as it is a Japanese martial art and reflects their culture - it also has no backward moves. They did watch a lot of martial arts movies to get ideas for the choreo as they wanted it to look as authentic as possible. Moa catching the fly was a nod to Mr Miyagi in The Karate Kid. Moa let the fly go, Mr Miyagi killed it.

KOBAMETAL, their producer said in an interview, “BABYMETAL itself is like an anime, it’s a fantasy. So we will not cope with other fantasy.”

I love seeing new BABYMETAL fans! My one and only wish for the last 5 years (found BABYMETAL 2015, "Gimme Chocolate" had about 90,000 views) is to hear this music on American radio! The radio stations in my area SUCK! Once BABYMETAL gets air play in America there will be a evolution for metal music as a whole!

Great reaction guys. Their songs definitely have a way of sticking in your head. I've had some of their songs just jump in my head randomly.

I had kind of the same experience, where I discovered the different aspects of the band over several songs before I had a full picture. You're missing a couple of things, still, believe it or not. You've heard two songs, but neither was actually a fully live performance (Gimme Chocolate was a music video combining concert footage with studio audio), so I recommend that you check out a live performance next. "Headbanger" from the "Legend of 1997" concert would be the ideal choice, I think. You can really see the crowd engagement in that one, and their relationship with the crowd is an aspect you haven't really seen yet, and you also get to hear their actual live band, who are a cut above the studio musicians. Also, reactions to that performance never seem to get blocked, so that's a bonus.

Excellent reaction, Chels! (Mat will catch up soon 😁). Seriously, Chels gets it, "BABYMETAL just makes me so happy". This fits a core BABYMETAL philosophy: "Don't think. FEEL." Chels will soon absorbed into "THE ONE" (#notacult), don't make her go alone Mat! Arigatou! 🦊🤘

you should react to "Headbanger" live next!!!

Most favourit song at nowadays, but this song in live, festival-version, open-air - sound so more Powerful, W-Base drums are so cut Girls dancing and vocal so impressive! Recommend!

There is the usual recommendations but I like to recommend the "Black Babymetal" songs Onedari Daisakusen and Sis Anger where you can also hear Yui and Moa doing the vocals without Su.

If you've already fallen in the fox hole then it's going to be a long way down. They've got three albums full of excellent tracks and many different excellent live videos to react to. This band is legendary for mixing up their styles and their song diversity too, so they never get boring. Enjoy the ride.

Great reaction! This song is a very radio friendly song, and it's definitely poppy. It's a good song, but it's not even in my TOP 10 favorite BABYMETAL songs, out of their 50+ songs in their catalog! Su, the lead singer, has amazing solo songs (gives the 2 girls a chance to rest during their 1.5+ hour concerts). Then the two girls, Moa and Yui, have 4 songs without Su, and they made those songs the heaviest songs of them all! 🦊🤘

Nice reaction!! Thank you again for featuring BM. I think you're very right to watch the music video first. However, live shows are what BABYMETAL is really about, so please watch this one too. - BABYMETAL-KARATE (live UK Download 2016) Many of BABYMETAL's songs, especially the early ones, are about the feelings of a teenager. As you may have noticed, the person these girls were fighting was themselves. Karate is a song about fighting with myself. And when you see that she is helping her friends who are falling down on the way, it is likely that she is also encouraging them. SUMETAL(vocal&dance) inspires everyone with her powerful and clear voice and her charisma. YUIMETAL(dance&scream) & MOAMETAL(dance&scream) energize everyone with their fierce dancing, shouting and unparalleled cuteness. The audience then cheers for BABYMETAL with chants and interludes as they respond. I think the very existence of BABYMETAL and fan is supporting someone and helping them to move on. One for All. All for One. We are The One!! It's the spirit of "The One." Even if tears spill from our eyes,let's confront it! Even if we get sad and unable to stand up. Even if our spirits are broken,let's confront it! Seiya soiya, let's fight on Incidentally,セイヤ(Seiya) and ソイヤ(Soiya) are karate shouts. 押忍(osu) is a 武道(Budo) greeting and response. All of BABYMETAL's songs are completely different. Next, I recommend this song with a lot of Japan in it. - メギツネ - MEGITSUNE (OFFICIAL) And when I say BABYMETAL, I mean live. When the songs are played, the songs are sung, the dancing is done, and the crowd is there, you can see the real BABYMETAL. - Road of Resistance (Live in Japan) - PA PA YA!! (feat. F.HERO) (OFFICIAL) And don't forget to check out Megitsune's live show after watching the music video. - Megitsune (LIVE "LEGEND 1997") or - Megitsune (LIVE "LEGEND 1999") I hope you continue to enjoy your BABYMETAL. Put your Kitsune🦊 up! from Japan. (Translation by DeepL) FYI SUMETAL : vocal & dance 12/1997 YUIMETAL: scream & dance 06/1999 Glove in the right hand MOAMETAL: scream & dance 07/1999 Glove in the left hand KARATE MV : Released in 03/2016 SU:18 YUI&MOA:16

Nice reaction & thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 Regarding Karate, I believe there is a big argument among BABYMETAL fans about "Which is better, MV or Live video?" Conclusion is always the same. "Both are better in a different way". When you have time, please watch "Karate ( live UK Downlaod 2016)". That performance in front of 50,000 crowd will move your heart.

Megitzune is one of my favorite Babymetal jams.

Babymetal hasn't done Animemusic, but in 2016 'Karate' by Babymetal was featured song in an WWE NXT Event. Thats how I discovered them. Years later I found Babymetal back and my first song was again Karate and it draged me down the foxhole. You got a new sub for you genuine reactions. 🦊🤘

It should be the opening theme song for the Olympics which has been postponed till 2021.

Great reaction. Suzuka's voice grows on almost everyone over time because she has a unique power and tone that fits really well with the music in my opinion, especially for her age (she's born Dec 1997). She's 16 in both performances I linked below and 18 when the Karate MV was released (Moa & Yui, the other two are born Jul and Jun 1999, so they were 16 in Karate). You said you love the band, but you didn't even listen to them yet. The official band, Kami Band (Kami means god), only plays live shows, they're some of the best musicians in Japan. Now you've done one of the two music videos that are worth watching from a music perspective (in my opinion of course), the other being Megitsune. Almost all of their songs are written to be played live and live is definitely where they most shine. A lot of Moa & Yui's chants/screams/backup vocals and choreographies are there to get the crowd involved or convey what the song is about, so that's another thing that's made for a live show. I can only agree with the other comments that Headbanger from Legend 1997 in 2013 should be your next one. Another great one that is highly "underreacted to" in my opinion is Ijime Dame Zettai from Sonisphere festival UK in 2014 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iNVdksaTy8rWiXk.html . This was their first performance in front of a bigger crowd outside of Japan.

Should try BabyMetal Catch Me If You Can, live at Black Night Legend Doomsday show Hardest song, most fun song 3 guitar solos, drum solo, alot of fun, Monster riffs, Headbanging with a smile!!!!

So glad you found them - happily pulled into the foxhole with the rest of us! The last gig I went to was Babymetal in London in February - it was a truly fantastic night - a real buzz in the air from start to finish! Keep em coming!

Rondo Of Nightmare with the Mischiefs of Gods Intro should be added to the list. It is a solo song by Su-Metal (The main vocalist) and the intro showcases the band and their talent! Def a must see!

So actually there's only one singer (Su-metal). The other girls are technically considered scream and dance.

Just one think, try react all in shows, because babymetal its a live show experience, great react, good job ;)

Imo this was the best version of babymetal

lol everyone felt the same about the anime vibe for sure, totally deserves to be in an opening, as for the ending you might want to listen Syncopation ;) \m/

This is a work of art. Babymetal's masterpiece. Look into the eyes of the girls in white at the end of the video....

Road of Resistance and Rondo of Nightmare with Mischiefs of God Intro.

the purpose of 武道budou like karate is to win oneself. this video means it. good reaction.

Check out their song "Akatsuki" live 🤘🦊🔥❤️

I feel the same way. They just make me so happy!!

Love me some BabyMetal...and Strangely this song hits me in the feels when it goes all ethereal...Great react..Thanks Y'all

The gateway drug to Japanese female groups. There is so much more to come you can't imagine. I look forward to the ride with you guys.

Great reaction！(о´∀`о) Next "Road of resistance" live in japan This is great reaction！

React to "megitsune legend of 1997" and "headbanger legend of 1997" pls, great reaction :D

watch more babymetal for good vibes

ahh who pauses during the high note?! haha but great video anways

now, live version

Kami Band is friggin insane

just subscribed to your chanel. I KNOW you´d love "disrotion". This Babymetal song just kills it and brings it directly into your heart and out through your whole body...would love to see a reaction of yours

Road of resistance

Oh man, you gotta react to Road Of Resistance Live is just Amazing

Damn the tears is falling down when i hear this song. 😍 I hope you gonna do a reaction of Sabaton's newest song called: The First Soldier.

You should hear No Rain No Rainbow Live in Tokyo. Su has a great voice.

I would recommend song starlight, shine and megitsune i think they flatter Su's vocal ability. Su their main vocalist is really really talented and their live performances are absolutely outstanding. They are so stable live and their stamina is absolute gold.

Yes! I've been waiting for more Babymetal, they are not a band to sleep on.

I like her hair colour and Him love metal tattoo (in case if you didn't knew the origin). Couple of Japanese metal suggestions: Ningen Isu /Heartless Scat (quite opposite to Babymetal but got to respect) or Unlucky Morpheus - Black Pentagram. By the way you gave me a first real laugh on this week few minutes ago when I watched you Gimme Chocolate reaction, thank you for that.

BABYMETAL - Road of Resistance - Live in Japan (OFFICIAL) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sLp1jLh3zLLalY0.html BABYMETAL - Catch Me If You Can - BLACK NIGHT LEGEND DOOMSDAY kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pM1oiMKblc3UfH0.html

Checkout No Rain No Rainbow live in Tokyo or Amore Live black night great songs

Always try reacting to they live version

Awesome reaction. If you want to see more of their talents, check out Megisune or Distortion

Great reaction! You have gotten excellent info. from so many people, so I’ll make this brief. If you saw at the end of the song, they do a hand gesture that looks like they’re messing up the metal horns. They’re not. This is their symbol, a play on the horns that they call a fox. There’s a story saying when they were learning about the horns, they either made a mistake and commented on it, or just made the comment that it looked kind of like a fox. A light went off for their producer, Koba, as we call him. They created this whole lore of the girls and the band being chosen by the fox god (Inari Kami in Japanese) to bring metal back to Japan, which had been very underground at that point. It has evolved to spreading metal across the galaxy now. You will see them do that gesture constantly in videos, interviews, on merch., etc. This also leads to calling it the “fox hole” instead of the typical “rabbit hole” of falling into something. This video is probably their best with a couple others, like “Megitsune”, being VERY close in the running. This is just a lovely piece of art where you get the music, the vocals, the choreography, and the symbolism very neatly rolled up and shown. I’m looking forward to more reactions to them. You’ve had a ton thrown your way, so I won’t give more, but I know you’ll love them all!

Nothing like a bunch of Sith Inquisitors rockin out LOL :)

days, weeks, years, forever 🙂

Great reaction you guys have to react to onedari daisakusen legend 97 it’s Yui and Moa singing without Su. Chels thinks they’re adorable in this she’ll love them in that one

Babymetal yey🦊🤘🏿

👍

I feel like giving a dislike just for the anime comments. Haha. It's like reactors are required to say "that sounds like anime!". Apparently everything sounds like anime. I've recently seen someone comparing a Metallica song to anime. 🤣 Im just kidding about the dislike. I'm glad to see you liking the vocals. Sometimes that takes a while for people to realize how good the singing is.

I suppose it's to late to tell you not to watch 3 songs thats how many it normally takes and you will get hooked like the rest if us . Welcome to the foxhole and becoming part of the One . #notacult 🤘🦊🤘

I only have one question my good sir. Where did you get that freaking awesome Jurassic Park shirt??

ayyy babymetal rules! imo I their live stuff is better, so I would recommend rondo of nightmare at budokan next : >

yeah .... with Babymetal it's better you soak in and feel it rather think about it , that way the magic feels more .... satisfying.
