Good reaction! Definately time to move from the studio releases and check out sme live songs!

You'd be surprised how many metal purists are infuriated by the existence of Babymetal. The mere act of melding pop with metal is heresy to a lot of people.

@@Icipher353 yeah, but they aren't Babymetal fans and those to complain on any reactions are usually fans.

I am from the woodstock generation of 1969, and back then, there was a normal fusion of light pop and rock music. So it seems to me that many of the older generation like me can relate to a style like BABYMETAL's. As a Japanese, I feel that BABYMETAL's pop music has the feel of Japanese pop music from decades ago, rather than modern JPOP. I also see them incorporating older, more traditional Japanese music.

Monochrome was composed by Yuyoyuppe. He has been a Vocaloid producer. Yuppe has composed most of Babymetal's best songs. (Megitsune, Karate, Headbanger, Rondo of Nightmare, etc etc) Monochrome sounds a lot like 'Leia' a metal Vocaloid he made around 2009. I think Leia is a better song. Leia sounds a lot like Babymetal. Leia is a very well respected Vocaloid and was included in the most recent Sega Vocaloid rythm game 'Project Sekai featuring Hatsune Miku'. Here is Leia in the game :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nZ6dhKmH2bO4g3U.html

Totally agree that studio recordings are the absolute worst way to experience Babymetal. The live performance is the way Babymetal is intended to be experience. Can't wait to hear this one live in January.

Most of us have learned to never make a final judgement about a Babymetal song before we have heard them play it live - it will be different and pretty much every time we will like it more. We will have to wait at least until January to hear this one played live ... you may get your single malt then.

Single malt is just old whisky 🤣🤘🦊

@@user-eq9ig1vn5s not even sure how to replay to the @ address you mentioned

@@user-eq9ig1vn5s pog this is epic

True

Uh didn't he say people were advertising Babymetal on his Cowboy Bebop reaction?

There are always exceptions to any rule. 😉 I

Cry more. Babymetal is awesome. I love music snob tears. I'll get my mug so I can drink them.

Who decides the rules on what constitutes a "real band"? They have songs written for them, they also have writing credits, they ALWAYS sing live, they are a fusion of Metal with JPop aesthetics and have never claimed to be anything other than that ... in the intro song to the third album a lyric even states "This aint heavy metal, welcome to the world of BABYMETAL". If you don't like the music or the sound fair enough, don't listen to it - they have enough people round the world who do appreciate them, they won't miss you. Just make your mind up if you don't like it because of the music or sound not appealing to you or if you just have a ridiculous, fantastical (an ultimately unrealistic) notion of an ideal model of what trve metal should be.

@@blueyonder1982 They do not sing live. They do not write their own songs. They are not a band.

I'll bet you've never seen them perform live even at music festival btw "Divine Attack" write by BABYMETAL vocalist SU-METAL

@@Lirukazu Lol. She wrote a few words for that song. And they do not sing live. And they are not a band.

@@chrystianmarrero You're not too bright (and maybe just a bit deaf)

So sad to be cough in the past, a 5 second google search would bring you the name of the producer or the musicians they work with, BM are here to break the "Elite" hold on metal and try something new and people all over see that not just "Japanophiles" as you tried to insult all BM fans with, I wonder how many "real bands" acording to your rules are "Japanophiles" RHCP, Metallica, Rob Zombie, Rob Halford and many, many more, I for one dont watch anime, I dont like samurais or their swords, Im not even a fan of their culture or food as a whole, Im a old metal head who is not affright to let people try new things with music and if it sounds good, it sounds good. Get off your high horse and enjoy life a little.

You're exactly right. 💯

Hey, how many big metal bands out there without a gimmick concept? For a scam Babymetal worked so well, why no one else copy them, mass produce them yet? How many idol groups out there can survive and even grow without pushing daily/monthly contents? Without utilizing internet and social medias? And Babymetal only active for like 10 days per year when they started (mostly in summer because girls have school and stuffs), still their success and growth is undeniable fact I understand where you come from but Babymetal existed, so well and for so long for many reasons: - They're exploring something completely unique and original that other afraid to do or failed before, like dancing with metal music or mixing so many genres well together... - They're extremely talented in bring a quality, spectacular show - like the idea of "not-a-band" or not, they got really talented people for music and the presentation of their music - SU-metal for example, some may not like her voice and she definitely not "the best vocalist" something but she's so unique that studio autotune 99% actually make her voice worse, her stage presence and dedication in delivering quality vocal performance is better than most too. - They bring positive to life for many, the sense of unity, encouraging and might be unadulterated fun in their music and live show - and anyone, from any age and gender can enjoy their music - it can be appropriate and gateway to a wider music taste for metalhead, pop casual listener, their moms, their kid, their wives or husbands too... - They keep evolving with their mixing styles, every song is distinctive, keep it fresh and unpredictable, beyond how normal bands usually stick to their one style, because they can affort those changes and lose old fans - They're a product that not entirely focused on sale and business, is not exploited for sale and business (there's almost no info, image, whatsoever of the girls outside their appearance with Babymetal, heck they don't even hold meet&greet or autograph events), there's definitely an artistic love from everyone behind BM

You are 100% wrong here. Yes, they are a produced band, but they are serious about their music and have written some of their own songs. Their backup band is world-class. These girls go hard, much harder than many of the bands I'm sure you profess to like. To call this a scam is to shit on TEN YEARS of content, more than a 50 song discography, and multiple world tours, not to mention sold out DOMESTIC shows with JAPANESE people at the world renown Budokan arena, TWICE. The Budokan does not open it's doors to many and is seen as a prestige mark for any band worthy of playing in that space. They have the backing of multiple world-class metal musicians who call them a metal band through and through. Wake up and smell the roses, you lame duck. Come back when you have 10 years of content and can dance on a stage while singing music for more than an hour straight. The fox god has judged you and found you wanting.

We know all the producer's and songwriter's names. And we know all the live musician's names too.
