Akatsuki was voted the number 1 song in a poll out of all BABYMETAL songs only a couple of months ago on Louder Sound (Metal Hammer). I absolutely love Akatsuki, together with Megitsune and Headbanger they form the perfect trinity.

Great reaction! It's easy to forget that Su was only SIXTEEN years old and is a tiny 5ft-1in (155cm) singing goddess in this video! And they are at the prestigious Budokan arena in Japan. The Beatles, Ozzy Osbourne, Cheap Trick, and Bob Dylan have performed there too. This is one of my most favorite BABYMETAL songs and performances because it is the most badass yet touching songs I have ever heard: "Going over thousands of nights, some love shall survive. So, until my body perishes, until my life disappears, I shall keep on cherishing this love." 🤘🦊🤘

This song has an emotion that can only be felt through SU-METAL's singing.

There is also a ballad style version of akatsuki. Please search for "akatsuki unfinished". I also think it is fun to watch other videos as well, as they are arranged and staged differently depending on the live performance. From Japan🦊

Akatsuki @ Nippon Budokan:- This is one of 4 Su-Metal (Suzuka Nakamoto) solo songs. The other 3 are:- 1. "Amore" (Wembley Arena). 2. "No Rain No Rainbow" (Legend A Baptism XX). 3. "Rondo Of Nightmare with Mischief Of Gods" (Budokan Black Night) same venue. Su-Metal have a powerful peircing voice to penetrate the heavy musical instrument and still sound so clear. You should listen to X Japan "Kurenai", a legendary band from Japan 🇯🇵 which Babymetal get a lot of their inspiration from. There is a slow ballad version of "Akatsuki", the Unfinished version perform at Legend 1997 Apocalypse concert same venue as Headbanger @ the Makuhari Messe. Akatsuki is just Crimson Moon, but the original kanji for Akatsuki is the one you see in Naruto (暁). The original meaning is the time when night fall ends, or dawn. But there is a double meaning of "The time you waited after your dreams/wishes came true" . If you listen to the lyrics both crimson moon and akatsuki play a role in the song Akatsuki. Benitsuki -Akatsuki Information:- Kanji Title: 紅月-アカツキ. Romanji Title: Benitsuki -Akatsuki English Title : Crimson Moon -Dawn. Akatsuki-Benitsuki: Akatsuki- is the couping song from BABYMETAL's 3rd single Megitsune, by SU-METAL. The song is also included in BABYMETAL's first original album BABYMETAL. Information: Artist: BABYMETAL Single: Megitsune Album: BABYMETAL Lyrics: NAKAMETAL & TSUBOMETAL Composition: TSUBOMETAL Arrangement: Kyoto KamiBand:- The KamiBand are the instrumentalists (or backing band) in BABYMETAL - Each member is a "god (Kami) of music" summoned by The Fox God stage by stage. They wore white robes and painted corpse face to resemble the dead spirit. All the Kamis have their own jobs and side-projects in addition to BABYMETAL. Current Members Who Perform At Nippon Budokan:- •Takayoshi Ohmura (Guitar, ESP SNAPPER-7/R Twinkle Pink). •Leda Cygnus (Guitar, ESP ARROW 7 CUSTOM). •Daisuke 'BOH' Bohte (Bass, ATELIER Z BETA 6, Boh'S CUSTOM 6). •Aoyama Hideki (Drums, YAMAHA Signature). Nippon Budokan (日本武道館, Nippon Budōkan), often shortened to simply Budokan, is an indoor arena located in Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan. Originally built for the inaugural Olympic judo competition in the 1964 Summer Olympics, its name translates as Martial Arts Hall in English. While its primary purpose is to host martial arts contests, the arena has gained additional fame as one of the world's most iconic musical performance venues. A number of famous rock music acts have played at Budokan. The Beatles were the first rock group to play there in a series of concerts held between June 30 and July 2, 1966. ABBA ended their last tour there. Their final show on March 27, 1980, was the last live concert ABBA performed together. Numerous acts have recorded live albums at Budokan, including Bryan Adams, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Cheap Trick, Dream Theater, Duran Duran, Kiss, Mr. Big, Ozzy Osbourne, Judas Priest, Journey and Deep Purple. LYRICS OVERVIEW:- Crimson Moon Going over thousands nights, some love shall survive. So, until my body perishes, until my life disappears, I shall keep on cherishing this love. Shining in the depths of the eyes, the moon is about to cry. Red tears overflow and dye the night sky. In the silence, the two damaged blades stand face to face. Our loneliness and our uneasiness slash even our hearts. Going over thousands nights, some love shall survive. So, until my body perishes, until my life disappears, I shall keep on cherishing this love. In the passage of time, I keep my eyes shut. Even if the red thread flowing in my hand breaks, I still feel we are tied. In the silence, I hold the damaged blade face to face. My loneliness and my uneasiness, I slash, even my heart, now. Going over thousands nights, some love shall survive. So, until my body perishes, until my life disappears someday... Going over thousands nights, some love shall survive. So, until my body perishes, until my life disappears, I shall keep on cherishing this love. Dye crimson! Dye bloody crimson! アカツキ (Akatsuki) 幾千もの夜を超えて 生き続ける愛があるから この身体が滅びるまで 命が 消えるまで　守りつづけてゆく 瞳の奥に光る 泣き出しそうな月は 赤い涙　あふれて 夜空を染めてゆく 静寂の中で 傷ついた刃差し向かい 孤独も不安も 斬りつける　心まで 幾千もの夜を超えて 生き続ける愛があるから この身体が滅びるまで 命が 消えるまで　守りつづけてゆく 過ぎてゆく時の中 瞳を閉じたまま この手に流れる赤い糸　切れても 感じている　絆を 静寂の中で 傷ついた刃差し向かい 孤独も不安も 斬りつける　心まで いま 幾千もの夜を超えて 生き続ける愛があるから この身体が滅びるまで 命が　いつか消えるまで 幾千もの夜を超えて 生き続ける愛があるから この身体が滅びるまで 命が 消えるまで　守りつづけてゆく 紅く染まれ　真っ赤に染まれ One of the best twin guitar solos from Takayoshi Ohmura and Shinji Yuuto aka Leda Cygnus. Kitsune Up 🦊🦊🦊🤘🤘🤘🇯🇵🇸🇬#notacult.

_Akatsuki daaaa!_ Thanks for sharing this Millie. I'm not sure if this one is a re-upload but it's been a while since someone reacted to this beautiful SuMetal solo and is enjoyable either way. See you next time with more, like i told you last time you should check it out the new songs and get ready for more when going to the US with the Babyklok Tour.🦊🤘❤️

Su showing why we call her Queen ❤😁🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼

This is the song that made me love BABYMETAL. SU-METAL sang this song on BABYMETAL 10th anniversary 2 years ago at Budokan. unfortunately BABYMETAL didn't add Akatsuki to their live album.

My queen, our queen! Su-Metal 👑 🤘🦊🤘

This song is definitely very underrated.

Millie, they already did a pretty big stage show in the UK (Europe), you missed it: Webley Arena, 2016. I was there, I still remember the pyro for Akatsuki.

BABY METAL🔥🤘🦊🤘🔥

Nice one ... not sure if this is a re-upload from your old channel - but they have a new album out and the songs from that are great if you are looking for something new from them to react to.

Las bandas más poderosas del mundo, black Sabbath, Judas priest, Metallica, y por supuesto babymetal, si señor las mas grandes.

It's so much fun to see babymetal in your videos. The brilliance of the song is amplified.

I love it when you do random stuff.

There is a ballad version of this song that had the audience in tears and in the video it looks as Su-Metal is crying too. AKATSUKI unfinished version. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p852f7Kqlp_RqHU.html

This is some serious singing! Akatsuki's got a ballad version tho.

There is a balad version of Akatsuki "Legend 1997 - SU-METAL Seitansai"

こんにちは👋😃 Nice reaction! ありがとう🤘🦊

Legit goosebumps at this point in the concert!

🤘🦊🤘

First verse tears instantly start to form in your eyes.. 🥹

Fun fact, Babymetal made Akatsuki as a tribute to X Japan's Kurenai. They share the same Kanji in title. Kurenai is 紅. Akatsuki is 紅月. And you can found some references to X Japan's music style in this song. Moreover, Babymetal also made several song tribute to thier other favorite band , such as "Tales of the Destinies" tribute to Dream Theater.

Akatsuki unfinished.
