If I didn't know anything about BabyMetal, when I first saw this MV I would have thought it was a trailer for a movie about the Old Kingdom. If I read the lyrics, I would think it is a positive, encouraging and cool song. But BabyMetal isn't just a band it's a continuous story. So no matter when anyone enters the BabyMetal world, they have to go back to the beginning of BabyMetal to understand their story line. Thanks for your great reaction.🦊

The dark theatrics and religious imagery are actually more accepted in the metal community than the kawaii J-Pop/idol aspect of Babymetal. They've had to overcome resistance to their kawaii J-Pop/idol aspect from the beginning, but crucifying your lead singer live on stage is metal af.

The Fox Gate has been open... Let the METAL KINGDOM come!🙌 -NotACult- 🦊🤘👑 We always said this mantra just in case someone got the wrong idea, don't worry, we got your back. This is why BabyMetal have no match among any other Japanese artists, top notch worldwide. You're not the first one finding GOT resemblance on this stage setup, it looks really dope. Here's some official info about this song: METAL KINGDOM (THRONE) _It is a powerful anthem ushering in the beginning of a new era while also representing the power and courage to step forward into uncharted territory. The track conveys imagery of one rising powerfully from the throne of silence, with a suitable fanfare announcing this new beginning._ Last weekend at Makuhari Messe they made two great live shows returning to the stage after almost two years. and by far they meet up my expectations with this epic live performance and top notch production. SuMetal and MoaMetal showing why they're a queen and princess deserving their thrones. I'm freaking out with the cinematic drone shots! We were expecting this live proshot version but we'll have to wait next month for live sound. We got so many big news and announcements, a new official member is coming (most likely Momoko Okazaki, the one who has been performing with them all these years and latest live concerts) next live shows in April 1 (Fox Day) when returning once again with another headlining shows at PIA ARENA MM Yokohama. Also they performed with a new BM mirror unit coming from another world of this metalverse, so we're guessing maybe some of the older kawaii metal songs they don't play anymore will be back with this new unit, so stay tuned for more but like always OTFGK. There was some minor issues when SuMetal was singing this live a little bit off, apparently an IEM issue or something but is all good coz we all know it's been a while since performing live and is the premiere of this song, pretty sure next live shows will be better. You can find the official lyrics pinned in the comments but here's the lyrics translated for you in the next comment, so you and everyone can understand this song isn't about demons, is about be guided by the love of the Fox God (Raise your hands to the Lord) and get ready for a call of arms in this uncharted future. Thanks for sharing this and don't forget to put your kitsune up!🦊🤘👑

In 2016 I went to see Babymetal perform at Wembley Arena, and Babymetal fans from abroad did go see other things around London, etc. And we know the girls have done similar things too, for example they've done the tourist thing of walking on the famous crosswalk at Abbey Road, etc. 🙂 In the past some crazy overzealous Christians from the US did have such objections about Babymetal, but I've not seen the extreme versions of them in a long long time. Funny enough I think some of those were maybe more shocked because they were still kids. At times we made fun them sometimes. What we usually do these days: hash-tag: NotACult. Nothing negative in the press about this, they have been criticized by being 'pop stars in metal' by some metal press or clearly being ignored by some outlets, etc. What is interesting Babymetal can also be seen as a criticism of Japanese Idol culture, by sort of making fun of it with 'literal idol worship'. Their are many ways to see Babymetal, some of them take it far to serious and some others are just funny.

They look so young. Asian women tend to look younger than their age and retain the youthful appearance well into their thirties. I have first-hand experience with this. Though already answered. How did BABYMETAL respond to all the negativity. They acknowledged that some won't like or understand them, but they have confidence in themselves, the BABYMENTAL organization, and their music. They continue performing at the highest level, winning the respect and friendship of other "true" metal bands; more importantly adoration and loyalty of their fanbase "THE ONE."

The lyrics of this song encourage those who fight for justice.😀😀

In reality, they ARE still so young. Su is only a fresh 25 years old. Moa is only 23. It's amazing really. Hopefully they have many more years to come. On negative messaging, I've hardly heard any, and never hear any on the "evil" image, etc. Everyone knows they AREN'T evil lol. Lyrically and messaging wise, they are one of the most positive metal acts in the entire genre.

Welcome back. There was a reactor a while ago who thought 'Headbanger' was satanistic and that Su holding the microphone stand up was some sort of demonic thing🤪 ... I have absolutely no idea what you are seeing in this video that made you think that way too, its not like BABYMETAL are some sort of cult.🦊😈🤘 This will be the opening track on the album being released 24th March - and of course they used it as the epic and theatrical opening number for their concerts (their first in nearly 2 years) last weekend at the Makuhari Messe (two nights, both sold out 25k people each night) - that was where this was filmed.🤘🦊🤘We will have to wait for the DVD to get the live audio I think, this video was released within a week of the concerts where it was filmed, so it makes sense for them to have used the studio audio. The "scissors" were the OO logo (The Other One which is the album title) on a staff.

Not gonna lie, their new outfits reminds me of the Sith.... Darth Su and Darth Moa 🤣🤣... loving it.... Would be cool if those staff lit up as well. Can't wait till the whole album drops in March....🤘🦊🤘

13:40😍😍😍

Great reaction as always, thanks! Part of the fun of getting into BABYMETAL is checking out their history and lore. The lore is everywhere in this performance and a non educated in BABYMETAL would miss half of the fun. But I believe that the quality of the visuals would help to keep them at least entertained, that's for sure. Criticism against you is a sign that you are making a difference. And they have said many things... the usual: they don't play instruments, don't write their music, too young, too cute, not metal, gimmick, novelty... I've heard "too perfect" on live performances (even regarding to the Kami Band) and that's freaking hilarious. So, what they did? Nothing. Nothing at all but keep on doing their thing and growing more and more. Okay probably some strategic marketing and public relations work touring with big bands and having big (and I mean BIG) names always on their side, taking pics with them of defending them on social media (or both hahaha...). They have been around over 12 years and watching videos like this, you can only think of them as a serious group. Until next time!

Thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 Don't worry. If someone get interested in this demonic mood, they will find hilarious chocolate thing next. 😄 ( Actually Gimme Chocolate was in the setlist that day.) This video is from Makuhari shows on Jan.28 /29 and I believe it was filmed on Day-2. I witnessed both shows. You saw one octagonal movable / elevatable stage but actually there were two identical stages for more surprising production. Several drones with camera were flying around all over the venue. Once this opening song by Su and Moa got started, I had goosebumps all over my body. The show was held after the almost 2-year long hiatus after all. Seriously many of audience were moved to tears and/or dropped their jaws when the gigantic fox wall opened and the thrones came out. Yeah! I chanted all through the song. Oh oh oh o o o. What a happy experience!! The Kami band was playing on the east stage that was not captured in this video. After this opening, 3 girls performed with Momoko Avenger. Did you see 3 (not 2) thrones at 05:17 in your video? Yeah, BM will change. The official 3rd girl is going to be unveiled in the next shows in Yokohama on April 1/2. Yes, at last ✌ Then you can see new 3-girl-formation in Sabaton tour in April and May.

Su-metal and Moametal are not actually carrying tridents, they are "frog giggers" in case they fall into the frog pit. 🤣🤣 BABYMETAL is #notacult and #notsatanic

О чеченцах и русских. Л.Н.Толстой. Хаджи-Мурат, глава 17 "Вернувшись в свой аул, Садо нашёл свою саклю разрушенной: крыша была провалена, и дверь и столбы галерейки сожжены, и внутренность огажена. Сын же его, тот красивый, с блестящими глазами мальчик... был привезен мертвым к мечети ... Он был проткнут штыком в спину. ...Женщина ... в разорванной на груди рубахе, открывающей ее старые, обвисшие груди, с распущенными волосами, стояла над сыном и царапала себе в кровь лицо и не переставая выла. Вой женщин слышался во всех домах и на площадях ... Фонтан был загажен, очевидно нарочно, так что воды нельзя было брать из него. Так же была загажена и мечеть... О ненависти к русским никто не говорил. Чувство, которое испытывали все чеченцы от мала до велика, было сильнее ненависти. Это была не ненависть, а непризнание этих русских собак людьми и такое отвращение, гадливость и недоумение перед нелепой жестокостью этих существ, что желание истребления их, как желание истребления крыс, ядовитых пауков и волков, было таким же естественным чувством, как чувство самосохранения".

Nice reaction. Babymetal forever. Her majesties Su-metal and Moametal's return to their metal kingdom. The stage in front of a live audience. Lyrically this song another positive message song. Su is strongly pushing for folks to not waste their freedom. And to go out with their hope's prayers and dreams. And be Free. Kitsune's Up 🤘🦊

Sup Uncle Momo! Been a while. You are right about this particular song of BabyMetal. It is a great song for us who know BabyMetal and I've been listening them since 2016, so ... Papaya is in my opinion the best for introduction, maybe few others. But as a fan, I'm loving this song. One thing for sure is you can expect greatness from all of these Japanese female performers and musicians, especially the likes of Lovebites (who also get some bad comments for some reason), Nemophila, Band-Maid, Scandal and so on. There are still many people who find it awkward for all female bands to be good, actually better than anyone other than Japanese or to do this type of music at all, unfortunately. On top, they defy the standards of the genre, so it is like a cultural shock. As for how they look young? Well, I've seen some in mid 40's who look like mid twenties, so ... Food? Water? Fish? Snow? Onsen Spa? They are also one of the top life expectancy countries, so something is going on there :) Have to go there to see it my self.

BABYMETAL to HAPPY METAL i sprawia, że wszyscy są szczęśliwi i uśmiechnięci 😁.

There is no Devil in Japanese culture, I think most people understand this already and the few who don't are quickly corrected, as far as I know there has never been any kind of backlash towards the group from religious people.

Вау яка ж вона драйвова!😯💘 Тут гарно все і вокал, і музика і виступ👸🏻❤🔥 Дивовижно!!!🥰
