New Babymetal Elevator Girl reaction! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bZindMx5p8DWmZs.html

"Sounds like Dragonforce" well, Herman Li and Sam Totman collaborated on this one :D

btw. I really recommend watching a full live show (maybe not now, but when you'll know a bit more of their songs). It's unbelievable how much effort they put into their shows, it's like one of the best live bands on the planet and I'm not kidding.

⚡ 💀 💕 / 🏴 🏴 🏴 "Stand up and shout, Shout!, Justice Forever!" - Road of Resistance That Saitama Super Arena performance was in January 2015. Su was 17, Yui and Moa were 15. Besides BABYMETAL and regular school, Yui and Moa were still in their last few months at Sakura Gakuin, the school themed Idol group where BABYMETAL originated. How they balanced all that still amazes me, especially since Moa and Yui had active roles in Sakura Gakuin as Student Council President and Production Chairman.

Their smiles are due to their happiness of loving what they do because they are doing something they love...A dream does not get any better than that....

SU-METAL IS OUR QUEEN,enough said. BABYMETAL 4 LIFE.

20,000 sold out show at the Saitama Super Area in Japan

My favorite video of BABYMETAL.

Yes, Babymetal is the whole package: great singers, great dancing/stage performance, amazing stage presence even at an early age, great music, amazing musicians, great stage show (like background and pyro, etc.), great live recordings for DVD/Blu-ray (audio and video including direction, etc.). Possible the best live event you'll ever witness. :-) Yes, maybe better than Rammstein, etc. And so much fun to join in the circle pit, etc. But they can also deliver this without all the special effects, etc. on a small stage or at a festival on just a bare stage, they will still blow you away. As Rick Wagner mentioned they were already doing this while juggling all these things like school and Sakura Gakuin. And the dancing and singing is basically always on point and they also have the stamina to back it up.

these 3 girls from age 5 or 6 already have good " training " for Idol from their parent then they join really good Idol group for advance intense training and on top of that they never forget their roots. if the Queen want WoD or Moshpit it's should be done and that's why the fans already do it even before she want it.

BabyMetal is Musical Theater. It doesn't get much better than this. The production is just 7 members and 3 of them are teenage girls. Only from Japan!!

when they say "we are Baby Metal" they don't mean we on stage, they mean everyone there as in "The One".

Babymetal requests will continue to come! Thanks for reacting!

when asked about seeing Babymetal for the first time, Rob Zombie said: "I saw them the other day for the first time. I mean, I'd seen videos and stuff, but I saw them live for the first time the other day, and I just loved it; it was like nothing I had ever seen before. I mean, it was just like… Leave it to the Japanese to find a way to make fucking death metal cute. But it was awesome. And the crowd… The crowd was going fucking apeshit. The amount of crowdsurfing and stage diving and just complete mayhem, which made it even funnier, 'cause it's three cute little girls doing fucking karate on stage and shit, and these guys [that are backing them] are dressed like ghosts, all in white. It's the most bizarre fucking thing. It's totally worth watching; it's so good."

They collaborated with Dragon Force who help write this song for them. Similar to, Through The Fire And Flames by Dragon Force

Try checking out some clips of their Tokyo Dome concert. The scale of that show was RIDICULOUS.

Like Bartek S. already said, this song was made with a little help from DagonForce. They even played guitar parts for the studio recording. DragonForce also are the earliest supporters of BABYMETAL from the professional metal scene. They already have quite a history together (performing together, crashing Download Festival, etc.). Regarding stage presence: Suzuka is definitely born for the stage. She already has a track record of 11-12 years of professional singing now and she indeed constantly evolves. She gets better and better every year. Last year Loudwire set her on the list of the 10 best female metal vocalists for instance. How about reacting to a SU-METAL solo song? I suggest you do *"Amore"* live at Wembley Arena in 2016: www.dailymotion.com/video/x57tnko_babymetal-ukwa2016-amore-proshot_music But you have to do this as a muted audio reaction with a little countdown to let us sync to your video. Otherwise, it will get blocked for sure.

Another great reaction and now you know why SU-METAL is the queen...commanding people to opening the pits ;) If you want to look more into j-pop/j-rock I would suggest taking a look at YUI and Ikimono Gakari...both really good examples of good j-pop/j-rock...YUI was actually my introduction into japanese music, about a decade ago

Yeah man, you've just described my mental process too. Their performances just have everything. The Kami band are some of the best musicians in the world, Su-Metal's voice is amazing, Moa-Metal and Yui-Metal's voices are also stellar but we don't get to hear them as much (I'd recommend GJ! if you want to hear them) but their dancing is always on point. It's just the total package. I don't know how anyone couldn't love their performances. Great reaction!

you haven't seen anything yet. the abilities of this group is amazing. each member has their talent and no other band can blend these styles of music together. to me hey have created a new genre of metal music. how many can say they created a new genre of music? each song is so different than other ones. some groups if you hear one song then basically you have heard all of their songs but not Babymetal. they have so many different styles. this is also a band that they do not have a dud song. some groups also have only one good song on the album and then the other ones suck but every song from Babymetal is awesome in its own way. and they use their songs to say a story. they have a song about putting make up and getting ready for the day, doki doki. a song about hide and seek with a demon, catch me if you can. a song about eating chocolate doing what they want to do, gimmie chocolate. a song about girl power, megitsune. a song about bullying, IDZ. and when they started some haters called them bubble gum pop so what did Babymetal do? they have a song, awadama, that is about chewing bubble gum. a big f' you to the haters. I have been a fan since 2013 and to watch new people react to Babymetal I relive it how it was for me.

... and they've preformed this song live with Dragonforce at Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards & with Dragonforce at Download Festival.

Living in Japan and not listening to Japanese music...missing half the experience...lol!! So, some Japanese group suggestions that a lot of "Westerners" are listening to...:: First will have to be Band Maid, cause they dress in Maid outfits and will Rock your socks off!! Next, Doll$Boxx, another all girl band..kinda fun to watch.. Then, Wagakki Band, might be more in line with your need for Visual K. And then comes Maximum the Hormone. They will Blast you with a very interesting mix of Metal. Some call them (in a way too limiting fashion) the Japanese 'System of a Down'. That's just a few to start with. Hope you have fun with them!! And thanks for the Great reaction!!

Excellent reaction and I think you summed everything up perfectly. More Babymetal please - anything and everything they've ever done would be nice ;-)

check out their performance at sonisphere in the pouring rain,preforming in front of a lot of metalheads that had never heard of them, and were won over. this is one of my favorites : Ijime,Dame,Zettai (don't worry about the pronunciation, everybody struggles with before hearing the song) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iNVdksaTy8rWiXk.html Yes they are at their best live, butalso have amizing music videos check out Megistsune kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mbFjgbCLpruvd6s.html

There were 20k fans at the SSA and I flew from the UK to be one of them. Other Japanese bands you should check out are Band Maid, Lovebites, Aldiuos, Unlucky Morpheus, Doll$boxx, Jupiter, SiM, Yousei Teikoku, Denkare and if you want something that's really wrong Broken By The Scream.

Glad to hear your Babymetal playlist is expanding :p

Great reaction. So many reactors nowadays just watch the video and stop - good to see someone giving their actual thoughts and opinions with it. You've got so much more amazing music from BABYMETAL to experience. I actually envy you. However, if you're looking to expand out, give BAND-MAID a try. I'd suggest the music video for Thrill or the live version of Take Me Higher to start with. Here's the live one >> kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rKypjMyBqcDelKs.html Have fun!

Check out their song 'Akatsuki', my personal favourite.

She HAS gotten better! She's 20 now, and I suggest checking out a version from this year or last year (I don't think you need make a video on it, it's just for your own extra knowledge). Maybe this one?: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aclmfZWgy8y6qJc.html it's a fan cam compilation but you can still hear the improvement! Edit: also, great reaction! Keep them coming!

Great reaction and great commentary! Welcome to the BABYMETAL world! You are in for such a treat!

Hey, your kawaii face was pretty convincing ;-) Thank you for this reaction, please do more! This was indeed a real live recording, although probably with a few touch-ups. You'll notice when you listen to the album version, because it doesn't sound as good as this. :-) Normally I would recommend Akatsuki now, because it's an awesome display of Su's vocal awesomeness, but since you have already done a Su solo recently, my vote goes to "YAVA!" instead: www.dailymotion.com/video/x6sicig. It's a bit more on the kawaii side, so it would be interesting to see how that works for you.

The point of babymetal is to praise other kinds of metal. So if it sounds like a kind of metal or seems like a honouring some kind of metal it probably is :) So no offence taken on that BM sounds like something else (since that is the point)

If you want to do more Visual Kei reactions you can mix BabyMetal with that in a way. One of BabyMetal's guitarists, LEDA, is in a Visual Kei band called Far East Dizain. He is the composer, producer, and of course face melting guitar master for the band. He's insanely talented. He also has a badass solo song called "White Hole" from a different band he was in, that would be a great reaction.

Who the hell~ walks into BUDOKAN at age 14(YUI and MOA) (SUE-METAL was 16) and changes history? If you've played the LEGENDARY BUDOKAN, you have made it. If you've played a sold-out TOKYO DOME 55,000 SEAT STADIUM two nights in a row - you are immortal! BABYMETAL 4 LIFE….

you should listen to "X Japan - Dahlia live (Last Live)" X Japan are considered one of the founders of visual kei Many bands and artists, most related to visual kei, count them as an influence or look up to them, including Miyavi,[180] Dir en grey,[181][182] Syu and Fumiya of Galneryus,[183][184] The Gazette,[185] D,[186] Sadie vocalist Mao,[187] Tōru Kawauchi from 12012,[188] Maya of LM.C,[189] Flow,[190] Yuuki from Unsraw,[191] DJ Ozma,[192] Kei of Dio - Distraught Overlord,[193] aie from Deadman,[194] Screw's Jin,[195] and DaizyStripper.[196] The members of Versailles named X and Luna Sea as influences, with singer Kamijo saying "I think there isn't anyone in the Japanese music business who hasn't been influenced by them."[197] Likewise, Leda of Galneryus and Deluhi claims he was not even interested in music until a friend played him X Japan and Luna Sea, and also declared X Japan's music his "Bible".[198] American musician Marty Friedman called X Japan the biggest band in visual kei and "by far the most versatile musically," and cited them as the reason he got into Japanese rock music.[199] In We Are X, Gene Simmons claims that if the X Japan members were "born in America or England and sang in English, they might be the biggest band in the world."[200] Due to band's various misfortunes with the suicide of band members, Toshi's brainwashing and lack of overseas success, X Japan have been described in The Times as: "The world's unluckiest band", in an article published on Friday the 13th October, 2017.[8] When asked in an interview if the band was unlucky, Yoshiki answered: "Kinda? I mean, you know, with so much crazy drama that has happened over the years. But at the same time, we have amazing fans around the world so I can't say 'the world's unluckiest band', but what I can say is 'the world's luckiest band'. Thanks to our fans."[201]

If you're looking to branch out from vkei, Galneryus is straightforward jrock. To give you an idea of their sound, they're performing next year at the ProgPower USA festival. Everything I've seen them do live is really good.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r8hpmKWUns-qdWg.html If you are interested this is the vocalist's ballad performance just before she joins Babymetal, at the age of 12.

I totally agree with everything you said. Babymetal are truly amazing! After watching any performance by them how can anyone not be impressed by everyone in this band. They go out there and kill it everytime. Hope to see more j-rock on the channel because I think there are bunch of good bands and songs out there. Like Wagakki Band, Gazette, Maximum The Hormone, and Band-Maid plus more. Maybe even some I haven't seen yet. I have really been enjoying my journey through j-rock music so far and hope you do too Kitsune up🤘

These are the golden years of the band. When I think Babymetal, I think amazing 3 young girls. Kinda weird seeing them now, especially with Yui gone and kami band wears masks, so NO fun facial expressions during their solos. SMH, all good things come to an end and look forward to hearing the new album SEE YOU!!!!

If the idea of "little japanese gilrs doing metal" sounds like strange for a some metalheads, try to react to Band Maid Band Maid is a group founded in 2013 and now they are going BIG. They aren´t girls btw but are also very young Maybe some live like this can surprise you kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rKypjMyBqcDelKs.html

Finally! 😄

oh and a reaction to mutant monster would be awesome!

Another Japanese band you need to check out is Wagakki and the song is Senbonzakura great band they have played out here in California several times.

welcome to The One dude! @FamilyBabymetal #babymetalfamily

Hi Declan, just dropping in on an old video because I was impressed with your reaction style (from your double of Divine Attack and Monochrome). I wouldn't have commented here except you asked at the end of Road of Resistance if you should do other music styles, such as ..., ..., Enka, ... . I know most western people on KZfaq won't know Enka, but your Japanese subscribers will be pointing you to Babymetal's Megitsune. Babymetal take Enka from melodic and traditional to f****ng spooky. I know it was a long time ago for you, but your reaction will be new to me, I can't wait to see it.

Almost 9 minutes goes by in 3 or so.

can never decide which of their songs i like the most.. but this is easily in the top 3. next why don't you try something more jpop like. trust me, it's great. it's called Awadama Fever. www.dailymotion.com/video/k5UFOicB27qYJencclz

If your serious about exploring japanese groups, you might find "Wagakki Band" interesting... particularly Synchronicity (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/prKjdKujzam6dY0.html) or the more popular Senbonzakura (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gcWoh8illZy3haM.html) or Kishikaisei (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rbF1dL2nkt2caYU.html)

Is that song on the album? Well, kind of. Road of Resistance is on the late release of the first album as a bonus track and on the second album. However, the album version isn't nearly as good. Don't get me wrong: It's good, but when it comes to Babymetal, their live performances blow the studio recordings completely out of the water. And I'm not just talking about the show, but the audio of it as well. My playlist when I'm driving around contains only live versions :)

"so much like DragonForce" ...😂😂😂

Good suggestion: The One MV for Babymetal

Great reaction......since your a teacher you might get a kick out of watching the girls when they were just getting started at Sakura Gakuin. Nendo tests 2010 to 2014 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ip98iqmUnqevpHU.html. Your looking for suzuka nakamoto.....su metal, moa kikuchi.....moa metal, yui Mizuno...yui metal.

If you want some wonderful regular Japanese rock check out polkadot stingray, yonige, and humpback. I promise you that you will like them

If you're going to check out other Japanese artists, then I have a few suggestions. There are a few groups that I know Babymetal fans will suggest, so I will try to go the less predictable route... each will cross a couple genres, from j rock, metal, j pop, funk, hip-hop and more. ● coldrain: "The Story" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g91nirWHytzbeZc.html "Bury Me" Live @ Budokan kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a5-Gd8SXp76cppc.html ● Miyavi: "Silent Anger" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lZyahMt_0rXDZ6s.html "Ganryu" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eZuhf92i2r6ygGw.html A natural progression from Miyavi, seeing as they perform on studio version of "Ganryu"... they are maniacs of traditional & electronic mix percussion... ● Hifana: "Skipless Loops" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qLaYnqSIyqvaqYU.html ... and a live version of "Wamono", with guest drummer Kiyohiko Senba (the official video had animated, topless mermaids, so selected live) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ea-ThZCBz9yloYU.html Unless you don't have a problem with animated topless mermaids. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mL9mnNyL39bFnZs.html Someone else recommended them, but I'm going to 2nd the recommendation for...Maximum the Hormone. They are a band that can and does go anywhere musically. Usually heavy as hell, but they can go full Pop in a heart beat. ● Maximum the Hormone: Yoshu Fukushu kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mMt-aMihmrPWlI0.html ... and their newest, which is a massive contrast... VAP kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mtRhapB2y7OyiWw.html ... and will edit this post for awhile finding links.

This song is written by dragonforce lol

Nooice reaction!

You should do catch me of you can next. That was a great performance.

Dragonforce was in on the weiring of this massive awesome song.. performance is other wordly..

Kitsune Uuuup! :D

Even the Red Sea would part for Su-Metal

(・∀・)ｲｲﾈ!! ｻｲｯｺｳﾀﾞﾈ!!

Can t go wrong with babymetal or band maid.imo.

I enjoyed your reaction. ROR ia my favorite song. If you wanna explore Japanese music more, how about next one ? They sing in English. MAN WITH A MISSION - Dead End in Tokyo kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gNB5nK5qu8mto3U.html

I find your lack of KZfaq ability to be one of your more entertaining quality

you want a crazy japanese band? try Sacramental by kiba of Akiba! theay are great!

Accidentally since you've already reacted to Rondo of nightmare make a point in your spare time to watch this don't react to it just watch it this is from Yokohama Arena with mikio fujioka www.dailymotion.com/video/x6auwjy

Try react baby metal feat dragon force or baby metal feat red hot Chili paper.bro.

これも良いですよ。 www.dailymotion.com/video/x5h1cst

I thought DragonForce recorded this one for them.

More Babymetal and Band-Maid Please! \m/

Ok where you do bring up some good points, like most smaller reaction channels, this is not a reaction that you are providing. You are constantly talking over the video. This is a video commentary. People who watch reaction channels want reactions not commentaries. We react to everything we watch and hear. If we constantly talk through it we don't really watch or hear it. You remind me of the people that talk through a whole movie that end up bloody in the parking lot. Its fucking annoying. I suggest you do pause the video when you have points or wait till the end of the video then discuss it. You really don't need to talk through the whole fucking thing. I'm sure when the camera is off and you are alone you don't constantly talk to yourself through things the first time you see or hear them. That is where you genuinely react. This feels like you are performing for the camera and not being genuine. It seems fake. Take my advice or don't, that is up to you. And I might try your videos in 6 more months. If you are still the fake annoying person I'll do what is up to me and never come back.
