I wanted to not like BabyMetal. Here I am 3 years later, still smiling when I hear their music. Super talented group of people right there.

Your BabyMetal journey cannot be complete without seeing "Rondo of Nightmare (with Mischiefs of God intro)". They give each member of the band a moment to shine on their own before getting into the song. If you really want to see the drummer do his thing, as well as the rest of the Kami Band, you should definitely check it out.

My guess is the girls are the most adorable bad-ass rockstars in the business. :-) Even if they don't kick your ass, they will run circles around you ! They got so much energy, it energizes the crowd and the crowd gives it right back and it becomes like a feedback loop. And this performance, that's what you'd call a show closer... Ijime, Dame, Zettai at Sonisphere 2014 and Babymetal Death Legend 1997 are also show closers.

Su is 17, Yui and Moa are 15. This was the last encore of a 1.5 hr+ performance. What is entertaining is watching the Japanese mediaTV shows in this time period trying to figure out who these world famous 3 teenage girls are. A metal magazine publisher said on TV that they were "The most famous Japanese high school students in the world". They were not that well known in Japan but their performance at the Sonisphere festival in 2014 in England caused the metal world to take notice. Which reverberated in Japan. The shows basically boiled down to Who are you and Why are you so famous to foreigners? My favorite early MV is Megitune (official), but I include a test question; where in the video does Su say "Maiden are not to be underestimated". Check it out!

They have a song called Megitsune (female fox) where they say "never underestimate a girl / maiden". So yes they are serious. They hold this energy for 1 1/2 hour...last time i visited them, i had to go to the hospital cause it was to intense ^^ .

Any look that the girls have on their face is almost never accidental. They are fantastic actresses. It can't be easy to dance like they dance and have a perfect expression on your face the entire time. If you go back to some of their earliest videos they relax their expressions when they think nobody is watching. But you have to go back to the very beginning.

Keep on Rushing and Babymetalling! Su's voice is beautiful in this one- The Metal Queen!

The girls are the real deal. The band is the real deal. And those crowds were the real deal.

When this first came out, I was like....This ain't no more Doki Doki morning music....... The stage took me back to the late 70's KISS concert I saw at 17. HUGE!!!! Mind blown.

Babymetal death legend 1997. It really epitomizes the light side/dark side thing they have going.

Glad to see you finally got around to Babymetal. I live in Japan and have been lucky enough to see them live 6 times. I actually just saw back to back shows 2 weeks ago at the Makuhari Messe in Chiba. I definitely recommend seeing/reacting to their live performances over their regular videos if possible. I'll be looking forward to your vids either way. 🤘

What's this? You checked out some BABY METAL!?!? Dude. I went down the Fox Hole in April.2019. This group is Amazing! What started as an idea in the Japanese Idol music world, exploded into a world wide music phenomenon. Here we are barely discovering their music in 2019/2020, yet they were Rocking sold out/packed arenas in Japan since like 2014 (when the ladies were just teens). And just FYI: Baby Metal just performed in Germany for their 3rd album tour across Europe (the women in their 20's now). There are those in the metal armies that post cheap insults & hate for this group. But Baby Metal gives Zero foxs about those fools, and just keep Succeeding! Some people say Baby Metal isn't for everybody. I like to say Baby Metal is for Every ONE. This reaction was a great surprise! Many thank yous for sharing! 🤘🦊🎸🌏🇯🇵

Saw them live a few months ago with The HU as opening act. Truly amazing performances.

Babymetal Nation is strong bro!!!

And now now you are ready for .... Babymetal - catch me if you can live (there are guitar, bass guitar and drum solo) ....enjoy!

The biggest 5 foot tall giants you’ll ever see.. 🤘🏻

this is my favorite of their songs, and my favorite video. I don't know how often I've rewatched this video, that crowd is electric

MoaMetal not smiling! That's the hardest thing to ask her to do! Su-Metal has become the "Queen of Metal" and she embraces it with her soul. Still waiting to see what "Mizuno Yui" will do with the rest of her life. No real news since she left.

Seeing live performances like this really hammers home why big metal names like Rob Zombie, Judas Priest, Anthrax, and Dragonforce (who collaborated with them on this very song!) are so excited about them, even as metal purists decry BABYMETAL for not being as brutal as they're used to. They really throw themselves into the performance.

This is more lyrical than most of their songs. Really pretty.

these girls are no joke metal. they have a video where they crucify the main singer on stage. its badass.

You're down the rabbit hole now brutha Jamel. This band is the answer to the prayers of every metalhead parent who has been on a long road trip with the kids and had to face the question of... "one more round of baby shark or leap from the car into oncoming traffic...enjoy the journey my friend it's an interesting ride.

Watching BABYMETAL is like getting punched in the face by three kawaii Asian girls, and you know what I'm ok with that. Its times like this when you realize three kawaii Asian girls are more METAL than you. SU-METAL is our GODDESS QUEEN and an IDOL LEGEND. MAY THE FOX GOD BE WITH YU...

Love the reaction Jamel😻 , Love BabyMetal alot and you're right these girls will kick your ass lol. Just imagine being that young and controlling the crowd the way they did and not being intimidated one little bit😀

⚡ 💀 💕 / 🏴 🏴 🏴 "Stand up and shout, Shout!, Justice Forever!" - (Road of Resistance) This was the last song of a three song encore. The venue was Saitama Super Arena (SSA) in January of 2015, with a sold out crowd of 20,000.

I love baby metal. I am 51 years old. I wish I could had caught a live show at least once. When I first heard them and it was with Gimme Chocolate, I was like WTF. It was all over the place and energetic, theatrical and fun, I was hooked.

Babymetal is an experimental metal vocal and dance group from Japan ... for me it gives its own color in a variety of metal music.

This reaction was lit. You're my new favorite. 🤘

LOVE IT how the song starts out slow and pulsing, then when the music kicks into quadruple drive, any open areas of the audience turn into swirling mosh pits!!! LOVE IT!!!!

When she splits the crowd at the start, that is known as the WALL OF DEATH and it means shit is about to go down on the pit

Baby Metal, opened my eyes to the "new" wave of Japanese rock I have never known before...They are so awesome...

I'm so disappointed in myself for dismissing Babymetal around 7yrs ago now when I first saw Doki Doki Morning because unfortunately it didn't allow me to witness them live with Yui. Then three years ago, Give Me Chocolate, came up in my suggestions & I instantly remembered the Doki Doki Morning video & thought, what the hell. What did I do after watching Give Me Chocolate? Called in sick to work & proceeded to watch everything Babymetal for 16hrs straight!! Still waiting to subscribe, just need to hear Band-Maid. Puzzle, live.

Checkout Pa Pa Ya of the newest release

The dummers name is Hideki Aoyama he's the son of another famous drummer. He's been playing since he was very young.

Great reaction! I love that you have the lyrics so you know what the song is about.

Ugh..here I go down the rabbit hole of watching your reaction videos again. Love em! Have an awesome day 😊😊

Hey! Remember that time Su-metal parted the crowd? Ah, good times. ;-)

Lol the reaction lol Baby Metal (: One of the GOAT best groups now if not the best period (:

If you haven't checked out the band DragonForce already be sure to do that, they helped write this song!

THIS👏🏻VIDEO👏🏻IS👏🏻MY👏🏻JAM👏🏻 Thank you once again for FINALLY seeing the Metal Resistance!

Keep in mind - those girls were barely 16 (I think this was on Su-Metal's 16th bday, actually) when this was recorded. To have that insane crowd control ability at such a young age is uncanny.

I think the lyrics of this song are autobiographical to some extent. They are about creating your own path and not giving up, overcoming obstacles and defeating resistance along the way. It‘s what they are doing with their own blend of Metal music. They are getting a lot of hate , especially from Metal elitists who are too closed minded to accept anything new or different, but they never give up. If anything, it gives them more strength and ambition to work even harder. And watching this video, even the most stubborn metalhead must admit that they are putting on a great show.

Yeah just watching your reactions so I can learn more about this band is worth it. Those girls were quite cute. And the musicians are very talented. Guitarist and the drummer are great.

Can you imagine a Baby Metal and Rammstein double-bill?!? While different the theatrics would be off the charts!

Watching Jamel sing along to Babymetal is my new favorite thing. haha

One of the best bands I've heard in my life.

You know this is the beginning of the fox hole for this band and others. I started listening to Korean Singer So Hyang (one of the best singers in the world, see her cover of 'I have nothing' by Whitney Houston) and it opened my eyes to how good Korean, Japanese and other eastern bands and singers are. Now I have found Babymetal, Band Maid and most recently Sokoninaru. For metal and rock it seems that Japan, Korea, etc. has a more vibrant scene than western music does and I'm loving the journey.

Please check out the band Gwar. I'm really interested to see what you think of them. Bring back the bomb is one of the most popular songs of theirs.

So full of energy and fun. If you dont like Babymetal you dont like life.

I've been listening to metal for over 30 years, and BabyMetal are my favorite band of the last few years, bar none. Check out Rondo of Nightmare.

Been following them since their first release. Saw on September Friday the 13th #otfgk !!!!20

See yoy!....LOL... Epic production.

Stand up and SHOUT! SHOUT! Justice Forever!

When the three of them sang together in harmony, the sound was pure magic.

The Kami Band (the band playing with Baby Metal) is awesome in their own right

Love the BabyMetal Happiness.... #otfgk !!!!20

I think the boys from DragonForce helped write this song. It has a few of their elements to it.

Holy wow!!!!!

If you ever get the chance to go to Japan, you should go to a concert there, I went to see Tool at a festival called Summer Sonic, it was a big two day event with fifty or sixty acts Mettalica, Linkin Park, but also tons of local bands. I shit you not, there is a cultural respect thing that we don't have here, you could eat off the floors in the bathrooms at a 200,000 attendee festival venue it was so clean and the people don't disrespect each other posing on the floor or dropping trash. The crowds, while super into the music were respectful to on another. It was the best experience I ever had at a concert. The only assholes pushing and elbowing were the foreigners. The act before Tool was called Buck Tic, imagine 10,000 screaming Japanese girls at a metal show. It was so weird, perfume and light moshing but so much fun. We went to a record store in Tokyo and bought one of their records the day after the show as a souveneir. Seriously Do It!!!

Man, you have GOT to check out their song Ijime Dame Zettai live at Sonisphere. Up until then they had hust been playing small venues for KZfaq fans of weird shit, and then somebody booked them for one of the biggest metal festivals in the world, in front of a crowd known for throwing piss bottles at acts they don't like. And just about nobody had heard of them at that point. They utterly crushed it, won over the metalheads and put themselves on the map. That set turned them from a novelty act to to global metal superstars. There's a picture out there of before they went on looking equal parts terrified and determined.

Takayoshi Ohmura, the guitarist. This dude is fucking crazy. Those sweeps are insane. Listen his solo Album. Amazing 80's kinda glamrock. Thumbs up

If you have reached the faraway land of beauty that is Babymetal, you might - you just might - be ready for Band-Maid, the one band I would be comfortable using the word "awesome" to describe. Five girls who play unbelievably good, tight hard rock, write and arrange their own songs and are technically insanely talented individually. Go on big boy (you are the same height as my son), see if you can handle something like Band-Maid's "Moratorium" live - they are even better live than on their music videos!

Imagining what they are singing about is way better than knowing

Baby metal is my favorite Japanese band. I'm glad their music is spreading to the unlikely and being heard. They go so hard and their music makes me want to just rock out!!!

First time being this early 😁..... love your reactions 🙌❤

While I love Moa/Yui, Babymetal would never have happened without Su's golden pipes. She has a duet with Rob Halford of Judas Priest and she keeps up with him.

The red dresses comment was the best in years

And that is how you close a show.. none better!

I love your openness to new music that is far from your normal style. Gota give Twelve Foot Ninja a spin. Give a few songs a go they are all so different but have their own style. Love ya work!!

How they deal with the crowd is awesome. I saw it live in Cologne, simply indescribable

I came here because of the reactions, stayed because of BabyMetal

I got a chance to see them in salt lake City. A great concert, had so much fun.

Thx so much for this reaction mate!

I lived in Japan in the 1970s, when Japan was going through a country & western phase and everyone was dressing up like weird caricatures of cowboys. It's nice to see that Japanese pop music is still weird, but man, that backup band is really freaking GOOD! And I love that bit when she parts the audience like the Red Sea.

The sense of theatre & spectacle is fantastic & the "backing" band are incredible but sadly possibly overlooked due to the girls as their front & centre. Obviously they're all great in their own ways & play their parts but the band is really the star imo. Fantastic. Cool reaction too.

Man! You really have to watch the official video for Doki Doki Morning... You'll get an idea of how young they were when they started!

Three of the best shows I've ever been to were Babymetal concerts in Japan.

You have to do rondo of nightmares. With the mischiefs of God intro

This song always gets me teary eyed at the end

Not only are they serious, but I SERIOUSLY feel sorry for the fool that hurts any one of the girls. They will have every Babymetal fan on the planet going after them! I would NOT like to see how that turns out lol

its called a Combat skirt.

lmfao my dude was singing along! (so did I...don't judge me)

"STAND UP AND SHOUTTT !!!"

Just gonna hop in here and recommend my favorite song by them, "Tales of the Destinies" off of Metal Resistance. 10/10 song, fuckin banger. Don't sleep on that one folks.

Suggestion: BRATS - "どうだってよかった (Doudatte yokatta)", or "決まりごと (Kimarigoto) LIVE."

GOOD SHOW! ODESSA TX.

Babymetal Rocks!!!

Dictionary...EPIC....see also...Babymetal Road of Restance...

Yoy are so cool, bro, I'm Mexican 😃

Just came back from a 4 week trip to Japan. I went to their 2 concerts (Sun & Moon themed) on January 25 and 26. It was insane. Each day had a totally different set list, and no songs were repeated, so if you missed one concert, you missed that set list. Im not sure if i went to some music concerts or if i joined a cult. Pics: imgur.com/a/1ZJBh8t I highly recommend you get tickets when they come to the US, their concerts are crazy. The start of day 2: twitter.com/babymoe0213/status/1221380559106035715?s=20 The end of day 2: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/osmJppuat5fUc6s.html

When people say Babymetal isn't real metal, I show them this video.

Good reaction ! 8:44 "Kakatte Koiya !" the meaning of that's "Bring it on !" in English

Now that you've broke into the wonderful world of BabyMetal you must dive deeper and blow your mind to Band-Maid start with Thrill

May I recommend to you A.L.I.E.N. by Maximum the Hormone

Well now he has to do Ladybaby's "Stateless Sky".

They remind me of GoGo from Kill Bill vol. 1 they must be cousins. Cute but deadly!!!!!

Well, now that you've started your journey to Japan. Other bands to check out, Band-Maid, X Japan(old school), and many others. Rock on.

These girls took the world by storm in 2012-2013. It was crazy. It was like "if your not an otaku you are now". And today this is a genre. Theres so many copycat artists.
