When you noticed the drummer making a funny face he was having a hengao, or funny face, battle with Moametal. They do that at that precise point in the song at every show unless the stage setup causes Moa to be in a different spot on stage. Su-Metal and Moa have one during the song Megitsune when Su holds a fox-mask in front of her face while looking in Moa's direction. There are a lot of things like this that fans watch out for because they show just how much fun the girls and the band have during their performances.

I question the sanity of the people who hate on this band.

I'm an old guy (66) who loves prog rock and classic rock and some classic type metal. I probably shouldn't even like this band but I get a total charge out of them. The players are phenomenal and the girls bring a whole new dimension of entertainment to this type of music. I'm also totally impressed by their incredible preciseness. I can only imagine the hours and hours of practice that went into making this group of people so amazing live. I hope they can recover from the death of their guitarist because he was mind bogglingly good. I think the fox god is probably searching very hard. I hope there's more new music that is of the same caliber coming from them. Lastly I would like to say that if BABYMETAL came close to where I live I'd be grabbing a ticket for a show in a heartbeat.

the drummer is an absolute machine.

Welcome to the Resistance.

By the way, Babymetal doesn't use the standard metal "horns" sign. Put your thumb, middle and ring fingers out to a point to make a "kitsune" or "Fox" sign

"Where have you been all my life" my thoughts exactly

Holy shit that song was awesome, I think I'm starting to become a fan of Baby Metal 😈👊 good reaction dude

Musically this is the same as the official video. The difference is the stage show. Babymetal's festival shows are pretty toned down compared to their arena shows. In the arena shows you get entrances and exits from flying coffins. You get lasers and flames and explosions. There are rotating stages and stage risers. The girls (or what seems to be them) will be at one place and then suddenly appear somewhere else. There is usually a long run from the main stage to a smaller stage in the center of the floor. Heck, you might even get to see someone get crucified. Their recent Tokyo Dome shows took all this to the extreme.

I think the most mind-blowing song is Doki-Doki Morning... this is their first song, and the most bizarre one, check it out!

The drummer is Aoyama Hideki, he is a "kami" after all! :D One of the songs he slays is Sis. Anger (react or not you should see it!) It's a Black Babymetal song so Su-metal won't appear :D Pro-shot video from Tokyo Dome --> vk.com/videos-37329129?z=video-37329129_456239661%2Fpl_-37329129_-2 (if you prefer) fan cam from Stuttgart --> www.dailymotion.com/video/x4f9hct_babymetal-sis-anger-20160608-stuttgart_music

Went to a RHCP concert in DC couple weeks ago and they opened for em. BLOWN AWAY!!! Been fascinated since. Made RHCP seem rote afterwards. A-MAZING!!! Shit was so f'ing METAL!!!

Third song is usually the charm...Babymetal is a true musical force in spite of those that dismiss them. Awesome reaction and love the enthusiasm you show! I hope you will become a part of THE ONE now!

This song it´s a collab with dragonforce guitar players, Herman Li and Sam Totman.

The funny thing, is that I'm an old school metalhead too ... growing up in the 80's I was all about hard rock and metal ... it was my 12 year old daughter that introduced me to BabyMetal ... holy crap! They have some instrumental solos as intros to their songs and the bassist is amazing.

You should watch the official version, 22,000 fans going mad and a truly epic stage setting and performance. The song was written or part written, by Dragonforce, which is why as you put it, one long guitar solo :-)

Great genuine reaction Can't request anything else now. Babymetal's catalog is an open road. You have to experience the journey for yourself. See you!

Great! This song is pure Power Metal! You will like "Ijime Dame Zettai" live at Sonisphere Festival 2014. React please ;) And watch some Babymetal shows in Japan, the stage production is extraordinary!

I read a review of Babymetal from several years back and the reviewer said the Babymetal band wasn't very good. After reading that I did a head shake and said outloud WHAT?! I'm with you I think the band is awesome.

You could be blown away with almost every single of Babymetal songs/performances. The musical variety and complexity is breathtaking because it is a team of producers but the quality is always flawless. They are on their own league ...

It must have reacted to the official video of "Road of Resistance Live in Japan" since it is the most insane, even so it was a great reaction :)

This is the energy. Babymetal and Kamiband energy!!! Great feelings! Awesome react! Thanks

Among reaction videos on babymetal, this one of yours is in my top5 list. Everything you said I feel the same way. Particularly, your saying that the drummer is playing extra hard even if this song is mainly a guitar song opened my eyes and made me proud as a Japanese. Babymetal as a whole captures the best spirit of Japanese work ethic.

The names of the girls are Yuimetal, Moametal,and Suemetal. Suemetal sings lead vocals, Yuimetal and Moametal sing background vocals and dance. The Kami Band is freaking awesome.

BABYMETAL - イジメ、ダメ、ゼッタイ - Ijime,Dame,Zettai (OFFICIAL)

Great reaction. Great song choice. I remeber when I first saw Gimme Chocolate I was still in that 'oh yeah, that's really nice, a bit of a hype/fad' kindof mode. But then I saw more and more video's and the more I saw/heard, the more this band seemed to amaze and astound me. When I saw the choreography for Catch me if you can', I was like, ok, this is not some hype anymore. Then I saw the live version of Ijime Dame Zettai in Sonisphere and that sealed for me. What a great band, what fantastic musicians. Never looked back since. There's so much to enjoy, go explore at your own risk!

You can't beat BABYMETAL live. There is nothing like it. Anywhere.

I love Babymetal and one of my favourite aspects of the group is the variety in their songs, they draw from every sub-genre of metal and explore it all throughout an album - it's great, because they aren't limited in what they can do. It also helps that they have so many talented composers writing the music and it leads to further variation in songwriting, not to mention the Kami band being ridiculously talented - they seem to be capable of playing anything. As for the girls, they're just wonderful and I can't get over how well their vocals work with the music, it's such an odd combination but they manage to pull it off so well. Su has such a powerful, amazing voice and Yui and Moa always have their harmonies which make the songs that much better. On top of that, their stage presence and energy is amazing - they're so talented. Road of Resistance was co-written by Herman-li and Sam Totman, they also recorded with Babymetal for the studio version - which is why it's very reminiscent of Dragonforce. Anyway, I've really enjoyed your reaction videos - keep it up :) you got yourself a new sub. My suggestion for a song would be "The One", it's the album closer from Metal Resistance and it's wonderful.

One thing I love about BM is all their songs sound so different and each are very unique. And I agree with many others in the comments that you should do a review of both BM albums. I think that would make a great video ;)

Cutest circle pit ever!

I feel you, sir. There's never enough Babymetal! !!=)

It was so beautiful to see your reaction! This band is unique, we are seeing history in the making, and I saw that you felt that. Their most dramatic performance, however, is Ijime, Dame, Zettai at Sonisphere 2014 (official). That was the first time they played at a foreign festival, for 50.000 people, who mainly had never heard of them. And with blind courage they did the impossible. They won over the crowd with the most excellent version of that song I have seen. Believe me, that's a must see!

Hey :D I was the one who provided the link. I'm glad it ended up being useful.

A small note about this song: Herman Li and Sam Totman of Dragenforce were involved in writing this song. :-)

Su is like a commander on stage

the official video is also epic. It's the video thst made mw realize the they really put on an incredible show. I highly recommend checking it out on a nice big screen. I liked that you mentioned their variety in the songs. You're correct but you've only scratched the surface. Every song they do us it's own unique thing. And there are no bad or filler songs. Everything about Babymetal is done at a very high level, and it starts with song songs - the hooks, melodies and production are all amazing

The girls constantly pull faces at each other and the band when they think the audience can't see them. The drummer pulling a face was probably him responding in kind to Moa. The drummer really gets into it and you can see him mouthing the words to the songs at times. Yes, react to Megitsune on that Vimeo video that quatrofuros linked.

you will love headbanger, megitsune, and ljime dame zettai (about bullying). been babymetal fan for 4 years now. love them

YES Finally 👏👏👏 I suggest "Babymetal -Death live 1997" next. They do an insane mock crucifixion that's metal as fuck 👏 Also "catch me if you can" from this same concert (Rising sun) and akatsuki-live at budokan

You should see the outro on this song when they play at wembley. The drummer is a machine! Doing the dobble bass for such a long time!

Su-Metal (the main singer) turned 20 years old December 20, 2017

I'm surprised he saw the face battle between Moa and Aoyama lol

Restumbled on this reaction. Has it really been 5 years? Wow!

Long story short, Behemoth led me to Babymetal :D I checked them out and got hooked. I was so surprised I got hooked so quickly and honestly it was a bit scary. And then I came here to see your reaction and it was so soothing to see someone else react the same way. Thank you

You should watch the official one too. Don't have to react to it, but it's a must-watch. It has a more "grand"(?) feeling. The girls owns the stage, it's like their playground.

Love your reactions my dude. A year later and still rewatching your reactions cuz they're that good 👏

I'm so glad you reacted to this version! The official is still great, but the crowd makes this one for me.

you should do "ijime dame zettai" live at sonisphere 2014

its like a long anime opening, every single song, major scale, generic metal drum and guitars, great vocals, positive energy and messege

The band and the girls have been working together for a long time :) Thats a little play they have, every time they play this song

Jay Weinberg / Slipknot “(Q: Favorite new artist?) Uhhhh… BABYMETAL!”

The variety in their songs is the thing I like the lost. You never get bored listening to Babymetal. Not only are the instrumental parts different, Su's voice is different in every song. Compare her singing here with her singing in Awadama fever for example. I love it!

what you need is black babymetal in your life

there been a few times in other videos i seen the band and girls make faces at each other. Moa also likes to poke Su's check during GIVE ME CHOCOLATE

its the love child of dragonforce and anime and its fucking epic

Babymetal live in Tokyo ( both concerts) just wow - has to be seen to be believed... amazing performance

Great thing about this song is the guitarists from Dragonforce(Totman and Li) helped create this song with Babymetal, also Babymetal's version of the horns(lack of a better term) is called Kitsune.

This was a great version. But the "Official" version is even better.

I'm so glad that u noticed the hengao contest between the drummer and Moa lol

great reaction ! , the drummer is Hideki Aoyama and like the rest of the kamiband he is very very good in what he does , i would love to see more BABYMETAL reactions , a few suggestions : Ijime Dame Zettai , The One , Akatsuki , Megitsune and well basically every song you can get your hands on : ) , make sure you always pick the live versions of songs they are the best

Can't wait to see you react to songs like Megitsune, Rondo of Nightmare and Akatsuki. So much greatness in those songs, I think you'll be pretty happy

the reason why guitar solo in this song is so awesome is because herman li and sam totman from Dragonforce did the guitar part in this song on the record. if you hear Dragonforce a lot, u can feel their signature guitar tone from them

Japan audience was so good they really enjoyed the show there is no one cellphone record the live show

Harmonizing is one of my favorite things in music..... I hope in the future they really let the girls go and sing together.... that would be a next level for them and for us

If there's one thing Babymetal brings to the table, it's their ability to constantly surprise us. Wait till you hear Iine!, Megitsune, Doki Doki Morning, Babymetal Death, Akumu no Rondo, Onedari Daisakusen, ... all very different songs from one another, and all great songs ... and that's just from the *first* album. The second album continues with Meta Taro, YAVA!, From Dusk Till Dawn, Syncopation, Amore, Sis. Anger, Tales of the Destinies... again, all very different from one another, and all great songs. And I haven't even listed all their songs, just the most obviously unique ones that came to mind. Can't wait to hear what they come up with next!

Also, I noticed that you noticed the funny face Hideki (the drummer) made at Moa. That's a little game the girls and the band do during shows, and is called, I believe, hengao. There's a couple of fan vids of Megitsune where Su has a Kitsune (fox) mask covering her face from the audience, but she's facing Moa. In the fan vids, she's sticking her tongue out at Moa right before she puts her Queen face back on and slowly drops the mask.

...and so, the smile of Yui steals still one more soul.

The song was arranged by Dragonforce. That's why the whole song sounds like a guitar solo.

you know what those audience are all sober in Japan. Baby metal changed metal music image in japan.

So Moa and Su are known to make funny faces at each other when the audience can't see their faces to try to make each other laugh. At least that is what I have read online. I wonder if Moa was doing that to Hideki when he gave her that funny look?

All of the band are fucking amazing and have played in various bands over their careers.

dude your reaction says it all!welcome to babymetal.....

Watch the official Road of Resistance video, this will give the the full Babymetal experience, when they are doing a headline show in Japan. If you want people the believe you have never seen babymetal videos before, you need to stop saying things like "wall of Death". It hard to believe you know so much about them but have never seen them before.

I love revisiting this and watching him completely flip his shit at the beginning, haha

Realy fucking awsomeee and crazy and everything you want in music!!!! I love this and it is so much fun to watch and listen and everything whehe...... Hell Yeah!!!!!!

@Chainsaw Reacts. I saw them live in Hollywood and also on the Summer of Serenity tour with KoRn and Stone Sour. They are AMAZING live

Watched a couple of your reactions in the past, but this one made me subscribe, because your reaction to this song is ABSOLUTELY PERFECTLY ON THE MARK. Great job!

Awesome dude! You shoud react to "Megitsune at Metrock 2015" or "Akumu no Rondo at Budokan"

8:11 "Where have you been all my life" Exactly my reaction when i first heard BabyMetal. XD

You make the best reaction videos on KZfaq man, keep up the great work!

KARRANGE AWARDS 2016: Best Live Performance - Winner: BABYMETAL This song was actually the First song on their second album, Metal Resistence. The Babymetal hand gesture is not the typical metal demon horns but rater The Sign of the Fox God, Kitsune. Look closely!!

Interesting trivia: This song was made in collaboration with Herman Li and Sam Totman of Dragonforce

The reason it sounds different is because it was written by Herman Li and Sam Totman of DragonForce. They both played it with Baby Metal too in one video

Nothing more impressive than SuMetal opening up the wall.

this is their reg. band the ones in black skeleten outfits are stand ins. these guys are famous and do their own tours to

yasss more Babymetal! this song is insane and awesome!

Dude you just gotta do Rondo Of Nightmare with Mischief of the Metal Gods from Budokan Black Night 2014!!!!

"The drummer is looking at the one of the vocalists for a second like 0_0" That's totally a running thing with Hideki Aoyama (the drummer) and Moa-Metal. She has a rep for trying to make faces to make the other two girls corpse on stage and the drummer does the same thing to Moa. There's a whole bunch of videos pointing it out when it happens.

I'm surprised you didn't make a comment relating this song to Dragonforce as many others did. Well, even if you did, I wouldn't blame you because Sam and Herman from DF were collaborating with BABYMETAL for this particular song. :D

Dragonforce's guitarists collaborated with them for the album version of the song. So if it sounds like a Dragonforce song, that is why.

RoR is more often the show opener. They close a lot on Ijime Dame Zettai. It's as epic as this song imo. So the heavier songs you haven't yet seen, IDZ, Catch Me If You Can, Sis. Anger, GJ!, Babymetal Death, and Headbanger. They also have some really good songs that incorporate more pop like Awadama Fever and Yava but there are still parts where they go hard. Yava is a fuckin' ska/metal song. That's something I've never heard before. And then there is Megitsune. I don't know what to say about that but WOW. This by the way comes from a dude that has been in pits at a Pantera show a million years ago, among many others. I freakin' love Babymetal. Some of the best shit I've heard in years. I just love seeing another metalhead discover BM.

Check out the official vid. It's from one of their headlining shows and is even more epic.

You can really hear that this is a DragonForce collaboration, this whole song just screams Herman Li

And fools say Babymetal isn't real metal.

I'm Japanese. I enjoy to watch your reaction everytime and You should watch amore -蒼星- by babymetal . this song is f**king amazing

some bands wins a lot when performance on live, BM is in another universe

Catch Me If You Can live BABYMETAL RULES

do a little research on the bands formation as a school project that was expected to be short lived. What has transpired since is truly amazing

react toBABYMETAL song DEATH SU'S CRUCIFIXION it is super hard

i guess drummer is using triggers on his kit because his notes are so good to be real. it sounds electronic. however, it means nothing he still plays every single notes
