祭りだ！わっしょい！！🏮 It was the same with megitsune, when a song has a lot of Japanese culture in it, it is difficult to explain. Read only if you are interested, as the content may be a little removed from the song itself. METALI is a word that adds METAL and 祭り(Matsuri=festival). And this song is a representation of a Japanese 夏祭り(Natsu Matsuri=summer festival). For us Japanese, these sound and lyrics make our Matsuri blood boil. Matsuri is the heart of the Japanese people. It is said that there are a total of 300,000 festivals in Japan, both large and small. Matsuri means a ritual for worshiping Gods or Buddha, or an event held in gratitude towards nature. 神輿(Mikoshi=portable shrine) is a carriage for Gods. In the festival, Japanese people get around the Mikoshi and carry it on their shoulders in order to worship Gods. While carrying the Mikoshi, the carriers will yell "Wasshoi, Wasshoi" or "Soiya, Soiya" or "Sore, Sore".(However, the calls vary considerably from region to region.) 神輿(Mikoshi=portable shrine) and お囃子(Ohayashi=festival music) of Matsuri have a history of more than 1,000 years and are etched in the DNA of the Japanese people. "Pii hyara" in the lyrics is the sound of a 篠笛(Shino bue=transverse flute) used at Matsuri. "Dokkoisho" is the voice used when lifting heavy objects, but it is also used in shouting. MOMOMETAL speaks in the middle, that is 歌舞伎(kabuki) speaking. MOMOMETAL's odd pose is the Kabuki climactic pose. The lyrics "Odorin chai" and "Utain chai" are in the dialect of SU-METAL's birthplace, Hiroshima. In standard language, the words are "Odori nasai" and "Utai nasai", meaning "you should dance" and "you should sing". If you are interested in Mikoshi, musical performances, etc., please search youtube for these characters and watch the videos. When the Japanese see this, our blood starts to boil.

They played Metali at the Orlando concert that I was at this past weekend. It is an amazing song live.

I am completely fascinated by this music video.

Yeah this is classic Babymetal with all the fun brought back again. I think too serious stuff just does not fit them. In the live show I saw this year they could not really work the crowd with the dark songs of the last album. For me best part of BM have always been the music videos. The band is first and foremost visual, so properly made videos make the whole BM experience.

That thing that Su did with her vocals (is it yodeling?) in Shanti and Metalizm, is getting workout in this song.... I love the Japanese Kabuki theater feel of the song, with Momoko doing that narration bit in the middle....I'm all smiles.... Especially after that very confusing collab of Lil Uzi Vert.... Metali makes everything right in the Babymetal world.... Can't help headbanging all through this song.....😁😁😁😁😁🤘🦊🤘

This is the first tune post 2017 that really gets me amped about Babymetal again! Now I have to scramble for a ticket!

I was wondering why you didn't showed up yesterday with the premiere, you were saving the best for the last, nice move! There was a debate among fans whether if MomoMetal was the one doing that obachan spoken part, i guess at least she's part of that section dancing and she did a great job with that, she's not speaking but if she did totally sounds like a different person, it reminds me tomato-kun when changing completely her voice lol 🍅❤ And Tom Morello doing his job like a true legend with his mad skills. This song is really wassho...ing away the bittersweet taste that Lil Uzi left with The End among some fans, not me of course.😁🤘 Btw they were already selling the merch hand fan in the official right before Apocrypha shows, that was clearly another hint and they premiere this song live in the 2nd night and of course the crowd went crazy, MomoMetal even said "Are you ready??!!!" right before the drop at the end, she got it man.🦊🤘🔥

👍 BABYMETAL is timeless. Joy/Happiness never goes out of style. 🦊 🖖 ❤

I'm 69, I can burn all my records, now I've got Babymetal 💥🦊💥

At the live, there seems to be an intro by Kami Band before this. I'm just looking forward to the concert. ライブでは、この前に神バンドのイントロが有るらしい。 コンサートが楽しみでしかない。

Su Metal's vocals is getting cleaner, stronger, and wilder in every release. Damn. She sounds so so so good now.

Wasshoi wasshoi wasshoi🔥🔥🔥

The old woman Kabuki interlude is really growing on me.. like it will be one of those lines I wanna memorize and sing along during concerts 😂😂😂

Yeessss!! I saw the live fan cam leak of Zepp Haneda concert day before. Kami intro + what sounds like Momo growling [[ ARE YOU READY!?!?!? ]] after spoken parts. A very poor fan cam, so couldn’t see much. Read Japanese commenters elsewhere from the concert who confirms Momo dances AND growls. But, OTFGK

I don't see why you are comparing this to the Uzi Vert collab. That was an Uzi Vert song featuring Babymetal. This is a Babymetal song. Completely different.

Welcome back our BABYMETAL😊 We have been waiting for you 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁. BABYMETAL is back to wrap the monochrome world in rainbow colors and their first song is FESTIVAL METAL😁😁😁😁 I'm in the happiest mood 😀😁.

Man, I was actually worried about you! I was looking forward to your reaction to the song but when you didn't post one, I thought something was wrong since you always post a reaction to a new BABYMETAL song really fast!🤘🦊🤘

Yava!!!! an actual music video. I was half expecting it to go into a live performance at some point. But Babymetal doesn't do what's expected. The foxhole is deep and full of surprises.

「メタり」🎉🦊🎉

毎回めっちゃ早く投稿するの素敵‼️ けど、今回は最高のMVだ‼️

Yavaiiii!!!! It makes my blood pump!!

Metal Village Niki and Neki わっしょい Washoi わっしょい！

BABYMETAL is back!!

I think you did right to wait for the MV ... meanwhile most of us saw a fancam of the live debut a couple of days ago and listened to the audio release yesterday - the MV adds a load to it. Great reaction ... you just know the live performances of this will be completely wild and the crowd will go nuts! 🤘🤪🤘

Neon-san, as expected, understands BABYMETAL well👍

I love how raw and real Su's voice sounds in this one. Its different in a refreshing way! Im satisfied and as always, I love your reactions. Our Babymetal journey isn't over! 🤘🏼

Wasshoi! Wasshoi! Wasshoi! Wasshoi!

Been a while since BM had a really really good MV. Loved seeing Momo get the solo/Dance.

Thanks for the reaction. Su's voice obviously jumps up to a new height, as if it weren't stunning already

Great reaction, thanks! Yeah, nothing to do with that other collaboration. 😁 Great song, great music video. And I'm so happy for Momometal to be honest. 🤘🦊

Neon... Enjoy your life with BABYMETAL music ! torima mosh’sh ✨🦊✨ From 🇯🇵 わっしょい !

It is nice to see BabyMetal incorporate Kabuki in their choreography. If they really want to murder their live audience, in addition to having Tom Morello play his guitar bit, they need to have Beni Ninagawa from the Wagakki Band shredding on the Shamisen. No one will leave alive and they would have all died happy.

support babymetal with buying nirvana t-shirts and cd's

Most of being difficult waiting for the mv 😁 hopefully they perform it at the Roundhouse. you're right it is going to be awsome live 👍did you get tickets for both nights 😁 🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼

I love the Shimasen going and going in the background. The melody in this song is so catchy in a way. And i'm so happy how they really give MOMOMETAL a big spot in this vid. Once again, congrats MOMOKO for filling the 3rd spot! GJ BABYMETAL for giving us another great song! And great reaction Neon! 🥰🤘🦊🤘

It feels almost like cheating following this band, everytime they hit it out of the park. I agree with you this will become a fan favorite, I could see it replacing Distortion, Pa Pa Ya or even Megitsune in the set list as it has vibes of all three of those songs

Next round will be METALVERSE

Everything they have done sounds different than everything they have done. Kitsune dao!

貴方が一番速かったな(๑^◡^๑)

BM Matsuri with big & heavy kitsune mikoshi, carried around by Su Moa Momo & Kami boys, shouting WASSHOI WASSHOI WASSHOI....!!

👍 👍 What a treat this is going to be LIVE.

Such an awesome video. Loved every minute of it.

WASSHOIIIIII!!! 🔥

To be fair, Babymetal were featured on an Uzi track. So not their own track. Have never heard of him, so don't know how it fits in his general discography, but it makes sense, it doesn't fit into Babymetal disco, like this song does. Oh and yes, this just slaps so hard! 🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻

🎉it's brilliant I was having bloodwood vibes too❤❤❤🎉🎉

Buena canción de babymetal METALI Y saludos desde Lima Perú

Hype song

You reaction are so good ❤

仕事はや！

Sugoi 🤘😎🤙

✨🦊✨🤘

🍅💀🍅 🏮🦊🏮 Wasshoi Wasshoi !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

舞台は浅草寺ですか

We got a fancam before, without a look at the stage... it sounds like Momometal has harsh vocals...? So maybe search for such a fan cam.
