Sharp, bright, precious, Suzuka is a diamond to be cherished and preserved.

Every note of SU-METAL's voice shines like a jewel.

Great reaction ... I think you finally saw what so many of us have seen in them - especially in Su-metal - for ages.🤘🦊🤘

You didn't talk much, but I liked this reaction. Having your eyes fixed on the screen and just listening is what this performance calls for. I guess many of us felt like this: We knew Su was good, but we were still surprised to see actual proof how good she really is. It's not just the stability and dynamics in the notes, it's also the emotion she puts into it. I have seen this dozens of times now, and I still tear up every time. It looked to me like you too found some new respect for her. And it's very interesting (and new) to get so close to her when she does it. The way she shapes her mouth to produce the perfect note is interesting to behold, and again, we never got to see that before. Huge thanks to the TFT channel!

When SuMetal goes into this mode is unbeatable. Straight to your heart ❤️ 🦊🤘🌈

Not much to add here except that I'm glad that you recorded this, for some reason I didn't expect a reaction to this one. It's great to see someone genuinely appreciating music. So many reactors seem to do it just to get their video out there.

Great reaction! This performance moved me more than any other BABYMETAL ballad, that includes "No Rain, No Rainbow"!🤘🦊🤘

Thanks for reacting to this Ryan. I think this is a bit of a game changer for Babymetal. People have questioned Su's singing for years, claiming she lip syncs, sounds squeeky or like a robot, etc. Maybe she got tired of that crap. This was a bold move for them and for First Take. She is a pretty stellar talent.

I've listened to this several times and it really makes me want to see more of this range and emotion. She's extremely talented.

Great reaction. i just watched your facial expression it was pure enjoyment on your face . Why does BabyMetal get all the recognition you just witnessed it 😁♥️♥️🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼

Beautiful.. the girl singing the Oh, Oh, oh’s.. such a soft pure voice. Perfect balance to the stronger voice ..

Your lack of (vocal) reaction to this is probably the biggest reaction you could give. Su is just stunning here. And no need to say anything back when you are stunned, right?

I like your reaction of this song is the best. Thank you.

At least she really wants to "illuminate the world with rainbow colors" when she sings. This makes me believe her when she says that.

I'm a guy in my 40's....wtf am I tearing up watching you react to this.... which I've watched a least 5 times now...I need to get some sleep or something..

Agreed! Even if I try and keep a straight face, it never fails to feel the onset of tears when Su hits certain notes.

The three girls in white remind me of BABYMETAL when they were young... I almost cry as they have grown up holding each other's little hands and working hard. SU's clear voice and her expression at the end of the song remind me of her thoughts about BABYMETAL up to now and her determination to go on.🙂

Yes, Amazing! 👏🏻

For a long time we only remembered her as Su-metal and forgot that she was singer Nakamoto Suzuka.

Not the biggest Baby Metal fan but you can't just deny how well done this is .. May need to rethink my position ..

◼ 🤍 🖤 ◻ Koba became aware of a promising young singer, Suzuka Nakamoto, in the Amuse, Inc. Kid's division. At that time, Suzuka was the youngest member of the JPop trio Karen Girl's (2008-2009), a group formed to sing the music for the anime 'Zettai Karen Children'. Koba attended their final concert in late March of 2009, and got the idea that Su's "no-holds-back" singing might pair well with Metal. So he formed a group around her. This is Su in full control of her instrument.

Thank you so so much for your heartfelt reaction. This coming from you really carries weight. I understand that there is a high probability they will do one more before long. I wonder which song and whether it will be performed by three members...

Sumetal is extraordinary. An astoundingly beautiful vocal performance.

I always want to try to think of something different to say for each reaction video I watch, but I can't come up with anything better than, "There's a reason why Koba built Babymetal around Su, and this video shows exactly why."

A stunning performance. I have watched this at least twenty-five times and have teared up every single time. In a world of confusion, discord, and anxiety, Su and Moa’s voices are a true balm for the soul. Say and think what you want about BABYMETAL, the fact that these young women can provide comfort for troubled minds like mine is enough for me to respect and feel deep appreciation for them.

It has been a long night for all of us. For us, it was difficult to perform live and even meet people,” “Some people are still fighting through this difficult situation. But everyone is gradually returning back into their daily lives. I want to encourage people to keep their chin up and have faith that a brighter future will come even if the sky is pitch black.” As was explained to Kerrang in a recent exclussive cover story interview!! Strip away the high production value & you realize these ladies are no f*** joke. They are every bit the professionals as their Kami band counterparts. I think some people forget this isn't their first rodeo & have been at this for over a decade. However I didn't realize just how true a statement that was until just recently myself. When a little known performance of Suzuka appeared at 9 year old at Ash Springs Act competition as wow lol. This is 3 years before Babymetal debuted at SummerSonic. Which would have made them around 12 at the time then. So that puts things into some proper perspective. Su-Metal was born for the stage that is obvious at this point clearly. No wonder Koba & Amuze took interest so early on. Rock on Ladies!! Respect!🤘🦊💕

Su sounds just amazing here

beautiful

Never doubted the ladies of Babymetal. This was beautiful!

Totally gives a whole different feel for the song from the original. Su and Moa are exceptional together. I hope they do another one.

Thank you🤘

"Monochrome" has a common BM theme of loss and hope and triumph over adversity. People have theorized that it's about USAF air raids on Japan or even the Hiroshima bomb, but BM and BM songs are a canvas that fans like to paint on and I think linking "Monochrome" with historical events is going a bit too far. I just take it as a song about having the strength to win out over adversity in any form. The best bit IMO is at the end where Su does a series of crescendos showing her amazing vocal control and ability to project emotion into the listener. Many people cry when reacting to this performance and I think that's down to the beautiful musical arrangement and the sincerity of Su and Moa...and of course Su's amazing voice.

Babymetal sing with such precision and voice control and then the result feels like a warm and strong embrace. Wow, alright.

you know it is great when you have nothing to say about it. we all knew Su was great but this takes it to a whole nuther level. what i love is even in a studio setting she has such loud voice but controlled and clear. her range is amazing. from very low to very high. i even love how in my opinion Moa sounded a little nervous the first time but she was great after that. to go in a studio like setting and do one take of a song is very stressful. i hope like others have said most of the time when an artist goes on First Take they do 2 songs and now i hope there is another song. but thinking about it i have no idea what song they would do like this. i would love to see them do a piano slow version of Megitsune but i dont know. i have heard piano only of that song and it was great but how can you slow the vocals down to be great with the piano is what i have no idea about.

🤘🦊🤘

Simply beautiful.

聞けば聞くほど勇気をもらえる。 彼女は英雄のようだ

excellent content Ryan-Metal, if you let them into your heart, they will heal thy soul, embrace those goosebumps and let the magic flow through you, it's amazing, rock on brother

Su's singing hit a new, higher peak with this performance

And some people say they can't sing live and have to lip sync.

This is about the Hiroshima bomb (the monochrome night sky rainbow colours). She is from Hiroshima I believe, so hence the emotion in the song.

Sir, you really should visit Hiroshima, Genbaku Shiryo Kan if you would like to know the origin of the pureness of Su's voice. We Japanese always welcome .

リアクションありがとう🤘🏻🖤🖤🖤 貴方のリアクションもっと見たい

❤🤘🦊🔥

Near the end, she is trying to not break out in dance and has that look on her face that says "Yes, we did it just the way we wanted." That this can be related to her hometown rising from the ashes ony adds to the poignancy. I want more of these stripped down versions.

I think when I'm old, I'll be like you, like Japanese songs

MONOCHROME IS BEAUTIFUL

🍅💀🍅 🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼 " Just smile " x 100 !! !!

Several artists asked to reshoot the film, but they were turned down. In the tension of a one-shot shoot with no re-shoots Still, BABYMETAL was great.🦊

I think the later albums of Babymetal (which was less appreciated by the fan who love the way of the fantastic heavy sound of the kami-band) is set directly emphasizing on showing Su and Moa abilities. When they were young, Kami band were like a babysitter groups who help their show to be more fantstic, more heavy sound ,more aggressive sound that can bring these girls' performance be more interesting. Since they gave a metal duck mask on band, let the band stayed in the shadows behind them, they start to let these ladies to fight by herself. Use their voice, their performance as a main weapon to the world. I love both ways of it. and i'm keep waiting more 'n more on them. What's next?

I agree this is one of if not the best BM performance (despite you opinion of TFT). Su's ability to control her voice and put some much emotional power is without par. And the contrast of Moa's soft sweet voice just adds more depth to the emotional feel. At first I though Moa looked stiff and nervous. Now I believe she is so accustomed to dancing, she had to "lock-in" to avoid dancing (Su did a little). In an interview they said this song was first recorded five (5) years ago and Su thought it was "light." She was surprised at the ONE's take on the song. IMO the video images were misdirection. But it also indicates that at least someone in BM organization and perhaps SuMoa actively read social media.

Even though this performance represents the least of what BM is actually known for, it is one of their best and most memorable ones for me. 🖤🤘🏻 The announcement alone that they would be performing at TFT was a huge surprise to me, but boy did they knock my socks off with this version of the song. And yes, especially the dear Suzuka, who surely shut up some complainers with this one. :) _____________________ 「 _Look inside the mirror of you.

👍 👍 Yes.

Thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。These female artists, now grown up from their girlhood, depict various images by singing and project them into the listeners' brain. The waves by those images come and go and make me move emotionally. Thank you BABYMETAL. And thank you Koba for your serendipity. Some 13 years ago, you certainly discovered something amazing and sacred for us. Speaking of the three figures in white hood adding some background vocals, I assume they are the same girls who performed Doki Doki Morning as clone BABYMETAL in Makuhari last January. The combination of their heights reminded me of them dancing face-to-face with Su, Moa and Momoko. Of course they are also homage to BM's girlhood with original three girls.

To my understanding the song talks about a nuclear bomb, the monochrome firework, which is more apparent in the original metal version's music video. The singer Suzuka is from Hiroshima

I really don't think there is anyone who makes the Japanese language sound so beautiful. I really prefer when she sings in Japanese.

I don't know what it is about her singing. It's just...so touching.

breath taking ah!?

The ONLY thing that would have made that better would have been a big smile from those Ladies at the end

🦊🦊🦊

Love Babymetal, but the songs from the new album have been pretty average for me. This version though.. this is so damn good! I absolutely love it. Su's voice is absolutely amazing and it kills me that they use so many vocal effects on the album(s) that sterilize the emotion she's able to convey. Let her do her thing!

反戦歌だよね。ウクライナに幸あれ。

They got beaten by Hololive. But still nice. No shame Suisei can sing. Her cover of Phony is so good.

The vocals have so much post production you can literally hear the pitch correction dragging the notes.
