This song is a sleeper hit. It’ll never be one of the first songs you get recommended or hear of when discussing BABYMETAL, but man it’s a real banger. Awadama Fever is another one that is fantastic but doesn’t get the love it deserves.

One of my favorite Babymetal song.

One of their best songs. One of their lesser known and most underrated. It's fantastic. Great reaction! Definitely wanna see you react to Syncopation, incredible guitar and rhythm in that song, with a bit of electronic to it.

IMO one of Babymetals best tunes. Underrated but it is really good example of babymetals music. Nice reaction.

Glad you liked it. It's one of my favorites as well. There is also a version with a killer Kami Band intro - worth checking out when you bet a chance.

Can't go wrong with a bit of YAVA. It's always great to see that both the crowd and Babymetal feed off of each other's energy during live shows.

Yeah, that's BABYMETAL. :-)

Great reaction again - so you like a bit of ska with your metal ... so do we :-)

This is one of the songs that makes me smile the most. It just makes me happy. The fast rhythm and catchy melody really pull me along, and the choreography entertains me immensely. It‘s hilarious, love it!

favorite song!! 🍅🍅🍅thank you🍅✨🎸

Another one that has a similar feel is Awadama Fever

You can dance, and after that you can headbang 😂

There's a version with Kamiband intro that makes this song more hype.

Always loved this song. How can you not get pumped by this one?Their music just makes you feel so good.

I put YAVA (translated as OMG) together with Awadama Fever as I think they are both about difference and not necessarily being confined by other people's expectations. The YAVA lyrics mention "different" over 20 times. There's a version of YAVA from the Big Fox Festival with a Kami Band intro that is insane...that's my favorite. The intro takes YAVA to another level, if that's possible.

#notacult Really enjoying your Babymetal reactions. After the first listen I wasn't completely sold on this song... But after the second listen I was, haha. Like you say, I too would travel great distances to see them in concert. I would love to see them in Japan.

Definitely an S tier Babymetal song, and one of my favorites. Also check out Dissension by Nemopila, another Japanese metal band and they're all female, you won't be disappointed.

Most underreacted to Babymetal song on youtube! I like Yava with the Kami band intro even more! Great Reaction!!!

Babymetal - Arkadia next🤟🏼🦊

Thanks for the reaction. I love a lot of songs from Babymetal, but this is my favourite. Ska rythm perfectly mixed with an awesome dark metal breakdown . An underrated song IMO.

My favorite song and thank you for the reaction. It is cool between bridge part and third verse in particular. This song gets rhythm of SKA at A part of 1st and 2st verse. Btw, I am a middle aged Japanese. The word "YAVA (yava-i, yaba-i, やばい、ヤバイ、ヤバい・・)" is originally a word that Yakuza, the Japanese mafia, uses. It means bad situation, or bad luck, and so on. So this is a dirty word and in old days parents taught their kids don't use that word. However recently young generations in Japan, even teenage girls like to use this word. Now the meanings change further, they use the word as awesome, cool, surprised, delicious, and so on. I think we can find this word out even in Manga or Anime. I think this song title is used as old meaning. They have sung teenage girl's anxious emotions about differences from other girls, like their identity of growth period. But It might be unique feelings only in Japan.

I think it is time you got to know Babymetal from there humble beginnings

check out the 6 minute live version with an awesome intro by the kami band, solos by all the musicians, its awesome. I read somewhere that this in one of Su's faves to perform, its such fun!

Nice react bro, I like this song so much, idk why just few people react to this, It's so underrated

I forgot how fun and heavy YAVA's breakdown is. Very underrated Babymetal song.

Great reaction to a great Babymetal song!

Great reaction! This is one of my top 10 favorite BABYMETAL songs. Love the breakdown in this song!🦊🤘

This song is specially good when Yui is in it, she had sadly left the band already at the time of this recording. It is one of the songs where she is more dazzling.

put your kitsune up

Great reaction I love Babymetal I would say I’m Babymetal junky I need to at least 6-7 songs a day I been a fan since 2012

YAVA = when everything is the same and different at the same time.

Great reaction mate This is SkaMetal :))))

Yessss 🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻

Babymetal throwing a little Ska into the mix

Yeah! Great react again man. Number 6 in my Top 10! Absolutely Amazing! See you in the next 🤟🏻 🦊 🔥 🔥 🔥

Great reaction, thanks! YAVA! is an underrated song imo. The ska vibe makes it fast and happy and that breakdown hits hard. Not to mention the choreo is so much fun. One of my top favorites without any doubt!

Seeing Babymetal live is also pretty high on my imaginary life to-do list. What is brought on stage is definitely an experience. And dear BM-Fans, please don't read on now.... The first place on this list however, belongs to the ladies of Band-Maid, whom I can only recommend to you, should you have a thing for good classic rock. 5 highly talented young ladies also from Japan. 🤘🏻

Ska Metal. Love this song.

🍅🍅🍅 🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼 YABA !!!

I love this song 💕 Good choice,thank you upload 😀 Great reaction 👍🤘💕

They performed here in Texas some years back but I at busy dying from liver cancer and couldn’t go to see them. But then I am over 60 and wouldn’t fit into the crowd. These girls are amazing 🤠🥰

Yava has easily one of the best awesome breakdowns ever in their discography 😃🤘🦊🔥🔥🔥❤️

We are same.. My brain explode when first time watch babymetal... Untill now i cant stop watching to babymetal.. Addicted..

Great reaction. Anyway, can i request your reaction to superb band from japan? The band is call "Lovebites" They all Beautiful Princesses metal band. But they are really really World class musicians. And they have a lot fans too. The song is "Glory to the world" Don't worry the song is in English lyrics ( you can ON subtitle ) Hope you check out, and can enjoy it too. Big thanks🙏

Song that had heavy breakdown 🤘🏿🦊🤘🏿 Love this song so much.

Everytime I played this song. . Always Bring Back my Spirit

I've seen Queen and Babymetal, Freddie still takes the crowd control, but, he wasn't this young when he did it. Su still has lots of time to catch up. Yava, just my thoughts, is about Yui and Moa.

I'm serious. This group is something else. Too good.

Those who are into SKA, Yava have the elements. It's SKA Metal.

Hi. Please if possible react to the song "Night Night Burn".

About the lighting, from a very early interview (Hedoban 1): [....] I have decided to go my way to extreme, about production and all. As to lighting method, I insist "It's rather better not to care about their faces" like that (laugh). I often have talks with lighting staff as "Is another lighting better to make their faces look better because they're Idol?" "No, this is it!" and so on (laugh). Q : There are those "conflicts" at all (laugh). Koba : When I was told, "Too much back lights so audience can see only their silhouette. How is it?" I replied, "Rather go extreme. Please don't use any faint colors," and "Need red, blue and white only!" Like that.

this's 1 my favotite song

When you get a chance watch the version with Kami band intro

Top 5

The Original 3 best versions of this song . Dont limit it to Europe Japan the on the bucket list hard to get tickets but it's everyones goal in my opinion. They be in UK soon as covids over. I am hoping there do somewhere like Wembley Arena again . You are going to lose it when you see them live . 🤘🦊🤘

👻🤘🦊🦊🦊🤘👻

Being Irish you would perhaps like 'Oh Majinai'

It’s a ska-style rhythm.

YAVA is a good song. but this song needs Yui.

please next react BABYMETAL ' Arkadia ' [ LIVE PROSHOT ]

I don't think you've done "Rondo of Nightmare" yet, so that one is certainly overdue. Make sure you pick the version with the "Mischief of Metal Gods" intro. Especially since you just missed out on hearing the excellent intro that sometimes precedes "YAVA".

Yava without Yui is not Yava.......and yeh...Im old formation fan with magic souls...LOL

Twocolors - lovefool next? :) you’ll vibe to it, genre is dance.

Yeah, that rhythm is more Reggae/SKA...

Ska-metal :)

"Indiana Jones and The Search For A Bad Babymetal Song" would be a pointless film, what with him failing completely in his task. 🤘🦊😂🤘

i think it called yaba(?)

Love the song. Hate the video with BabyMetal splash and subtitles.

Me gusta más la canción con YuiMetal

To some of the commentates here, Yava has never, or ever will be "underrated" This is only YOUR opinion or bias Do you only judge something by how many others like it? Every Babymetal song is unique, No rating is ever needed..... rant over, om Shanti

Pausing at pippo pappo pippo pappo pi, I wasted my time.
