Great reaction. I like the choices they have made in the mix for all the songs on this album I think ... and the live performances I have seen so far, as always with BABYMETAL, are taking each song to another level. 🦊

This one went hard at the concerts in Yokohama on the weekend with the western kami band playing it live. CJ nailed the solos.

Good reaction, thanks! "METALIZM" is one of my favorite songs from the new album. It's different from.... well, anything. The guitar work is absolutely mind blowing and Su shows (again) she can sing anything. I always like to mention that one of her strengths is her versatility. Don't know if you follow their news but last weekend they announced that Momoko Okazaki is the third official member, becoming a trio again. She was one of the Avengers who covered the third spot on live performances but without a singing role. Her stage name is MOMOMETAL and she has already performed her first concert as a an official member, wearing a mic headset and singing just like Moa does. So, I'm very happy for her and very excited to see them next month. Until next time!

First Take : BabyMetal... Monochrome! Must see.

This is my favorite song from the album, it is just so good and different!! Thank you for another great reaction!!

Welcome back to BabyMetal's metalverse 🦊🤘🌐 METALIZM was the type of songs and blend i was looking for, and this is another song that the girls love. With hits around the world like DVBBS & Borgeous - Tsunami, the first time i heard the snippets of this got immediately those vibes, but i wasn't expecting that solo guitar, the Kami Band guitar playing live totally kill this. The exotic middle eastern sound (maybe?) gives to this new track a sort of tale that relates directly to METAL KINGDOM and maybe Divine Attack - Shingeki too. Here's some official info: METALIZM (SMOKE) _An armored knight appears amid a smoky haze. The song features tribal rhythms interwoven with captivating melodies as if it narrates a fable-like story._ Say welcome to MomoMetal, finally the new official member announced during last weekend concerts, we're all happy for that,🍑❤️ and say goodbye to the old logo, they got a new one and is really cool.🦊🤘🔥 This journey is fascinating and the metalverse is becoming a rollercoaster. Here's the lyrics translated. Thanks for sharing this and kitsune up!🦊🤘🚭 Composer: RYU-METAL, MEGMETAL Lyricist: METALIAN, RYU-METAL Arranger: MEGMETAL [Lyrics] A knight from the Metal Kingdom comes over a thousand nights, magic wand in hand, accompanied by a cavalry. The King from the Metal Kingdom, wrapped in white clouds, fly high with wings spread. METALIZM A knight from the Metal Kingdom rides on a thousand winds, redrawing the map of the treasure hunt. The King from the Metal Kingdom escaped from the darkest dark to the new world lit up by the golden sunlight. METALIZM

Thanks for this reaction, glad you liked it. Not just the vocals are low, but the guitar solos as well, which is really unusual. But it works in this song, having the beat in front really gives it a driving energy.

I love this song from the new album so far. And BM did it on both of the 2 days shows of 1th and 2th April, and I saw it on the first night fortunately. I have a lot to say about this song. About the music heaviness, or the play on words, 'zum zum', they are killer, no matter what, and you guys all know them well, so more than that, here, I want to say how great the Japanese lyrics are. The lyrics really give the good rhythmic sense of the Japanese language, riding on the notes. I really wish I could have wanted to share this joyness of the Japanese lyrics with everyone in the world.. The choices of the words in the lyrics are excellent, and it is immediately obvious that it is a parody of 'One Thousand and One Nights', but it also uses other slightly old-fashioned words such as at 0:27, 'magic wand' (魔法の杖, Maho no tsu-e), and at 2:40, 'golden' (金色の, Kon-jiki no ← it is a kind of an old speaking, and on purpose, not normal saying 'kin-iro no'), which in turn invites some nostalgia or some exotic feelings. Su- also sings a unique way of singing in it, and it is more like Enka songs, or old fashioned popular songs in Japan. This way of singing is described in Japanese as 'Kobushi wo mawasu' (こぶし(小節)を回す), but it is shame that no suitable English translation can be found, or I can not translate it properly. This singing skill, which slightly quivers the pitch of Japanese sounds, and it is similar to vibrato, but musically it seems to be different. Enka songs are often disliked in Japan, especially by young people, because it is old-fashioned, and I used to be like that when I was young. But now I like it, and if Su- sings it like that, I can not help laughing, haha. I think BM's playful songwritings are properly alive here. Thank you from Japan!

This song could have easily been on the last album. It reminds me a lot of “Shanti shanti”.. 👊🏽⚡️🤘🏾🦊

I love Su's cadence in METALIZM ( I WISH we got more of it. A 3rd verse or something) Her vocal control reminds me of Shanti Shanti Shanti, just not as much effluxion. And the beat is sooooo good. The 2 guitar solo type shredding parts are going to be amazing live. VERY curious what the choreography for it will be like. Moa is going to KILL IT. I feel like this song NEEDS it's own costume. Such an Egyptian vibe 🤘🦊🤘

excellent content Bobb-Metal, word from Japan is this song is way heavier live, and we have yet another genre bender Arabian-Metal or Mid Eastern-Metal or Egyptian_Metal

🍅💀🍅 🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼 Metarizumu zumu zumu !! !! !!

Arabian psytrance metal! 🕺💃🤘 The katakana pronunciation of METALIZM is メタリズム/Metarizumu. Metarizumuzumuzumu = メタリズム/Metarizumu (metal rhythm) + ズムズム/zumuzumu (thrumming (e.g., with excitement)).

👍 👍 Welcome back The Pro Shot videos of the LIVE performances (with LIVE audio) are drifting out (visually filtered for copyright reasons of course) and most people are praising the songs. I have personally seen LIVE pro shot videos of Monochrome, Light and Darkness, Divine Attack and Maya and they are stunning. During a break in the song Monochrome Suzuka asks the audience to “Take out your phone!” and “Turn on your light!”. She then says “That’s amazing!” “Looks like stars!”. She then begins to hum the lyrics with 20,000 lights surrounding the stage. Mesmerizing.
