Great reaction. 'PA PA YA' is a summer festival song - and they're going hard singing and dancing about a spicy Thai papaya fruit salad.🥝 Such a good live song, it really gets the whole crowd jumping and waving towels round their heads (Su, Moa and Momoko love to see everybody doing that and we love to see them happy, so everybody brings or buys a towel specially for this song). F Hero flew in to Japan specially to perform on the first two nights of BABYMETAL's 2019 tour (that was where he was filmed - this is the official video so the audio is from the studio - there is a live video for this performance with the live audio and it is even better). They performed in Bangkok in Thailand as part of their world tour last year and F Hero made another special guest appearance. F Hero was rapping in this song to the same rhythm as mixing the ingredients for the salad with a mortar and pestle. They are pretty much saying that, much like the salad, mixing the right spices in the right amounts into life will make that better too.🦊

⚡ 💕 / 🌶 🌞 "PA PA YA!!" is पपीता (papeeta) in Hindi, if Google Translate is correct. : ) It's a tropical fruit. In the song it's the main ingredient for spicy papaya salad. F.HERO's rap section of the song talks about crushing the sweet and spicy ingredients together to bring out the flavor. Kind of like life. : ) That concert was at Yokohama Arena, which holds 17,000 people. This was the second night of two 'BABYMETAL AWAKENS - THE SUN ALSO RISES -' concerts. The supporting dancer (avenger) this night was Kano Fujihira. This was her first show with BABYMETAL. She only appeared with the group five times, including a television appearance. Like Su and Moa before her, she was the Sakura Gakuin President in her senior year with that group. She's now one of the four members of the Amuse, Inc. J-pop group @onefive.

ありがとう！ You haven't seen Monochrome yet, have you? Please take a look at the three videos: the official music video, the Piano Ver of "The First take", and the live video. 🔥🤘🦊 From🇯🇵

Out of all the many, many Metal songs about tropical fruit, this one about a Thai Papaya salad is my favourite! 🦊🤘🤘🦊 Papaya = पपीता papeeta

_Matsuri da!_ 🦊🤘🍠 Welcome back to the Foxhole and thanks for keep enjoying your BM journey with more songs of this amazing group. Last year fans at Bangkok enjoyed this song live with F.Hero as a special guest for the third time performing together after this live version 2019 in Japan, but everyone enjoyed this in every concert, it's a hit they don't wanna miss in any of their setlist, except for rare events. You already saw another super collab they did together along with Bodyslam. The title is in reference to the papaya fruit used to make a popular Thai salad. It's a fun song to represent and celebrate the mix between these two great cultures, and fans at the World Tour 2023 and more recently at Legend MM enjoyed this song. If you want another rare live performance with Latin rhythm vibes you got "Night Night Burn" live at Legend Metal Galaxy 2020, or with Indian influence like "Shanti Shanti Shanti" official MV (you already did that), better yet if you look for "folky" vibes then you got "Oh! MAJINAI" ft. Joakim Brodem live at Legend Metal Galaxy 2020 or Budokan 2021, you'll notice almost every BM song got their own unique dance choreo. This song belongs to 3rd album "Metal Galaxy" released in 2019 but this one as well many more songs are exploring a different Babymetal side, sometimes more mature, but trying to not lose their fun. The footage of this was took from BABYMETAL AWAKENS: The Sun Also Rises 2019 in Yokohama Arena Japan, F.Hero was invited for this, the night before he was really in panic with the amount of people and even throwing all out after the show, It ain't easy to face that crowd, especially after receiving some negative critics from BM fans who didn't like his participation on this, fortunately he recover from this and received a warming welcome. Also that night they introduced the _avengers_ system, a group of three backup dancers filling the third spot that YuiMetal left (she left the group in 2018). They rotate so not always you'll see the same one on stage, usually the live official MV before 2020 is with Kano Fujihira, she started this when having 14 years old, so young like our girls back in their early days. None of them have mic or sing and aren't official members, they just dance. But remember that status changed last year when MomoMetal was announced as a new official member. Again, the one you saw in this live compilation isn't MomoMetal but Kano-chan as an avenger. The official MV is with studio album sound so wait to hear the blaster sound of the Kami Band when playing this live. Next suggestion: - Akatsuki live at Budokan 2014. Thanks for sharing this and see you next time 🦊🤘🍠
