The Legend 97 concert took place on Su's 16th birthday and these were the last 3 songs performed. The Kami Band had only come on stage for the last 5 songs of the night and the 'Bones' (actors in skeleton suits) had mimed the earlier numbers while a soundtrack played...but either way Su sang live for nearly all of them. I've never heard these 3 songs termed the 'Trilogy of Death' before - not sure who told you that! - but it's the first time I've seen anyone react to 3 Babymetal songs in a row, let alone in the order they were performed and from one concert, so hats off to you (or "Kitsune Up!" as we Babymetal fans say). There's a heavier version of 'Akatsuki' (pronounced AK-AT-SKEE) which you'll love, which is not just piano and strings but the Kami Band on full throttle (there's even a guitar duet!) at the Budokan Black Night concert - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nZhjapV0mraufIE.html . The last song used to be their opening number, as the lyrics are just them introducing themselves using the usual Japanese term for "I am/We are/etc" (the verb 'to be', basically), which is "Desu", pronounced with a silent 'u' so it sounds like Dess...which they played on in a Metal way and changed it to 'Death'. So we hear "B-A-B-Y-M-E-T-A-L Death ("We are Babymetal") and then each of the girls introduces themselves..."SuMetal Death", "YuiMetal Death" and "MoaMetal Death". Then Su the J-Pop singer is sacrificed and reborn as the Metal Goddess and Queen SuMetal. Oh, and please remember that Babymetal are #NotaCult. #DefinitelyNotaCult. #AnyoneSayingWeAreACultWillBeSacrificedToTheFoxGod. 🤣🦊🤘🦊

8:18 I get goosebumps EVERY. FUCKING. TIME! Great reaction! This is really the best way to experience a BABYMETAL "trilogy"...one right after the other, just like they were performed at this concert. 🦊🤘

Next up, should be the Trilogy of Light. Starlight, Shine and Arcadia. It’s about loss, grief and acceptance. Shine is a tribute to guitarist Mikio and makes me cry, every time, especially the Legend M version. (Moa plays the acoustic guitar) RIP Mikio. 🤘🦊🤘

HaHA, He wasn't ready for that. That was the best performance of Headbanger in my book. I just love when Moa gives her war cry and starts blasting the fog. Careful, AKATSUKI makes me cry if I have been drinking. Don't drink and AKATSUKI . No, the next one is some brutal metal theater performance and 1 band member dies. Yes, watching them in a row takes you on a journey, I am not sure if have did that.

"Thanks to the original uploaders", I don't think there are many reactors that say this. So you are great.

Wow the unofficial Trilogy Of Death caught up your attention, nice! *HEADBANGER!* _Headbanger!_ is an all time BM favorite, song is about 15 year old girl special birthday going to her first metal concert while leaving her childhood behind, is a melancholic song mixed with industrial metal like you'd never seen before. This song is one of the earliest Babymetal tracks and it was released when the lead singer got only 14 years old so it's not biographical song, but the song grows throughtout the time even on the girls while understanding many things on lyrics such the "special discount ticket" japanese people get during certain special day that leaves them travel in public transport paying only one time. This is part of unofficial Trilogy of Death from the same live concert, tracks are: _Headbanger!, Akatsuki (Unfinished Ver.), and Babymetal Death._ The whole concept of this special concert run around "Death and Rebirth," there's even a unique beautiful SuMetal solo cover song from certain anime which reffers to that if you want to check that out. Their official MV is somewhat creepy for many fans, specially female fans, but once you get to know this song live there's no way to not felt in love and embrace it even more. Also in this official MV the girls are pretty young just like during *Legend I* first time Kami Band shows up and beginning of "Metal Resistance" chapter. Babymetal got plenty of lore and stories behind most of their songs, but sometimes is just about fun and lyrics are not so important but the sound and music will never let you down as well as their insane amount of energy they put every live performance, in this case lyrics are meaningful, that's why is one of the most beloved by fans and you hardly see this song not being played during live performances. *AKATSUKI (Unfinished Ver.)* A lovely soft ballad piano version of originally power metal with so much fire, you got to see the original live at Budokan to fully enjoy this one. She played this song recently at Budokan "10 Babymetal Years Doomsday", and she changes vocal techniques a lot, like a lot, and it's better because of healthy reasons, but of course she's still awesome and we love different versions of her and the performance with different things like guitar duel, SuMetal fighting against her mirror, or "muscle-metal" fighting in a cool coreo. She said in a interview that she knew she can deliver this song first time when she saw someone in the audience crying. T_T *BABYMETAL DEATH* If you're a Metallica fan you can spot this riffs at the _One_ song, as well of the -virgen mary- image behind (is not, is SuMetal resembles) they're truly BM sensei and they love the girls too.

Your face during that entire reaction told the story very well. You are lost in the Foxhole. Welcome. We all float down here. What a way to end a show, right? And this was before they had even released their first album. Amazing. Thanks for this reaction. It was great. Put your Kitsune up!

Well, it's not a trilogy and the three songs aren't themed around death (Headbanger not in the slightest, it's about a 15-year-old's first rock concert), but they were performed back-to-back and that's how the audience experienced them. They were part of a five-song encore for LEGEND 1997 where the Kami Band came out to replace the miming Babybones - the encore began with a special version of Onedari Daisakusen, then Catch Me If You Can, then these three songs.

Great reaction and a very fun premier. You had more people show up than most other reactor's premiers.

21:12 that's what Babymetal live is all about, being in a different world/mindset, just being part of the show/experience.

Now you have to check out the opening to this concert “Ava Marie” complete

In some countries, it is illegal to watch trilogy of death in one sitting. Due to religious reasons. 🦊🤘

Now you know why I had to immediately own this Blu Ray as soon as I could get my hands on it. I got quite the collection now and it continues to grow. You should see how they STARTED the concert. :) Nothing like BABYMETAL 🤘🦊🤘

When our queen and goddes Su-metal sceams, she says: worship me or die..

Got a fatty rolled up for this one, this gonna be good. I'm ready to bang my head, shed a few tears, and then offer up a sacrifice to the Fox God. Still blows my mind how good this band is.

That was fun - great reaction(s). I'm so sorry I missed the premier, I didn't see the notification until it was finished. Did anybody reiterate yet #NotACult So what's next ... doesn't matter, we'll all be here to see it.

I agree man their stage presence is insane and I think this is the only true way to watch this Trilogy! Keep up the great work man I'm proud of how far you've come!

If I could've been at any concert, this one would be top of the list.

"I'm having a blast." SUBSCRIBED! I can tell that you really enjoy what you are doing and it's not just about how many subscribers you have. It shows and makes your videos fun for me to watch too. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! And of course, MORE BABYMETAL! They have 45+ songs and hundreds of performance videos to watch. EVERY song is a good song....which I can only say about a very small handful of artists.🦊🤘

🍅🍅🍅 🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼 In the end of trilogy of death we have , well, DEATH!!!

It only keeps getting better from here. This band knows no heights. Absolutely incredible reaction. Thank you so much for allowing us to follow you on this journey. The One is with you!

The Trilogy of Light is better consumed all together, too. This was awesome. As soon as I saw the thumbnail I was like, 'Oh, he's going to love this. Let's fuckin go.' :p 🤘🦊🤘

Mikios solo during Death is one of my favorites! Great reaction ! I would have loved to be in that crowd!

Legend One-Nine-Nine-Seven (referring to the year of Su's birth) It is the story that, receiving the legendary corset from the god of Metal, she abandons being human and shall be reborn as a goddess. The gene which has been determined from ancient time is destined to be guided, boarding on the ark of time. The apocalypse prophesied The DOOMSDAY. Towards it, There remains... little time.." Basically this show was the final step in BABYMETAL transitioning from Idol group sub-unit to independent metal band - it was also Su-metal's final step in her transition from J-Pop Idol - she was sacrificing her human existence and life as Suzuka Nakamoto the J-Pop Idol to be reborn as Su-metal the Metal Goddess chosen to lead the Metal Resistance.

Thats was amazing, i hear this 3 by separated but in a row is an experience. Anyway u must see Akatsuki final versión is so diferent 👌, and.ty by share this

Love the reaction. Great trilogy ...keep them coming.

This probably in my top 5 favorite reactions of ALL TIME. I really wish I could have been there for the premiere.

Your reaction is classic 👍💯

Great reaction! And you still have so much to discover with this band. Looking forward to seeing you continue your BM journey :) Kitsune up!

Now do the trilogy of Yava, Awadama Fever, and Catch Me If You Can

Babymetal is relentless. Trilogy of Death: Headbanger, Akatsuki unfinished version and Babymetal Death. You need to react to Akatsuki Live at Budokan Black Night version. There's a power ballad "No Rain No Rainbow" Legend S Baptism XX.

Kitsune Up 🦊🦊🦊🤘🇯🇵🇸🇬. #notacult.

Great reaction to a great band!

I would recommend awadama fever, iine and doki doki morning to build a well rounded babymetal foundation

Akatsuki Unfinished gets me every single time. And I've listened to/watched it thousands of times. Suzuka is a living angel on this Earth 😭

wow .... you watch these three songs in one sit ? you have brave soul. oh!! .... by the way just want to mention that we are #notacult

Didn’t see the notice of the premiere… had to subscribe. 👍I forget who’s done what but if you haven’t watched Ijime, Dame, Zettai from Sonisphere 2014 give it a look sometime.

Well amigo You did it Now you know why they are the BEST PERFORMERS IN THE WORLD This is the way to celebrate your 16th birthday And YUI AND MOA WERE ONLY 14 To buy tickets 🎟 we’re sold as a lottery so this fans were so lucky 🍀 Best reaction I Ever seen So Great job amigo

#notacult BABYMETAL FOREVER 🤘🤘🤘 All hail The Fox God

3 Babymetal songs in a row is always better than 1. And 4 songs is better than 3. That was a fun reaction! One of the best I've seen. 😄

Great reaction. Not many can say they were crucified in front of thousands on their 16th Birthday.

12:21 That "oh man" is the best admiration for this song!

The look on people face the first time they show the size of the crowd and their reaction is priceless. Also you defiantly need to listen to Rondo of Nightmare

The statue crumbling at the end is an homage to Metallica's "...And Justice For All". The neck brace is an homage to Japanese metal band, X Japan, because their drummer head banged so much that he broke/injured his neck requiring him to wear a neck brace. 🦊🤘

Awesome reaction, you have to watch the full version of Akatsuki (at Budokan) and the next trilogy should be the Light, In order: Starlight, Shine and Arcadia.

Had to come back and watch this again... Still one of my top 5 favorite reactions of all time.

You need to watch the opening "Babymetal Avamarie LIVE" of this concert. Throughout this concert, J-POP singer Suzuka Nakamoto will be reborn as Metal Queen Su-Metal.

I really wish more people would watch all of these in a row like this. It's just so damn good.

If you have a sound system in you vehicle, Headbanger, and other BabyMetal songs hit so much better. Headphones can't replicate it.

Talk about getting your money's worth of a ticket to such an incredible performance! I'm envy everyone in the audience that wasn't me 🥲

Great to see you vibing with BABYMETAL... Absolutely love Akatsuki (unfinished) version. When you get the opportunity I thoroughly recommend checking out "The Trilogy of Light"... It's a ride. Thank you for the reaction. 🦊🤘🔥🖤

I love how the Babymetal Death song got to be what it became. It was their introduction song, Babymetal Desu "We are Babymetal" and morphed into Babymetal Death due to the 'U' in desu not being pronounced when spoken/sung. Western audiences being ignorant of the language morphed 'desu' into 'death' and thus it just stuck, even in Japan. You should hear a more recent version of Akatsuki Live. Su's voice has greatly matured. No more of that young girl squeainess.

Suzuka Nakamoto died to be reborn as the goddess Su-metal that is this all about, And she is a goddess now (she literally won a metal goddess award) .. One thing I should say The Akatsuki unfinished version you watch is good but not as good as the finished version, here is the link of 'Akatsuki' live at budokan black night kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nZhjapV0mraufIE.html it is a must watch performance. Su sings like goddess in this one. #notacult

Thankyou for your reaction⚡️👊🏽 Very cool watching these in sequence. Keep up the great content!

An opinion noone asked for " You have pretty nice teeth". Love your reactions dude. Keep it up.

OK....I see how you operate now. You string three BABYMETAL songs together trying to get subs. Well then I guess you're a GENIUS cause it worked 😁. Love your channel and reactions 🤘😷👍

Now you need to watch the full version of Akatsuki to make the comparison. Love your BM's reactions

You should do a modern version of "Headbanger". Espec the one from Legend Metal Galaxy day 2. The Queen demands her due! (Btw you can find a version of it on the Babymetal Reactor Resource channel.)

Great reaction look forward to more on your BabyMetal journey dont worry Su gets better 🤘🦊🤘😁

I'm *glad* that version of Akatsuki exists and it really highlights Su's raw voice, but I like the "regular", heavy Akatsuki more if I had to choose (which I fortunately don't have to). One of my favorite songs. Would like to see you react to that one at some point. The other Babymetal song I can think of in this "ballady" soft vein is No Rain, No Rainbow a beautiful song in its own right.

Sue-Metal THE QUEEN !

This was completely amazing. It was something that just immersed me and wouldn't let go! Fantastic job. Hope to see more

BABYMETAL always delivers the unthinkable. They're just awesome. Lots of love and Respect for them ❤️ BABYMETAL ❤️🦊🤘

Gonna show Death at Legend 1997 to my catholic father and see what happens

no pause was the best choice...great reaction...3:15 look that...like an Empress 😯

Next Trilogy of Light (Starlight, Shine, amd Arkadia) and/or Trilogy of Budokan Ballad (No Rain No Rainbow, Akatsuki (Finished ver.), And Rondo of Nightmare.

Excellent reaction and brilliant way of making a 3-in-1. Your hard work is certainly appreciated. 👍🏻Kitsunes up 🤘🏻 🦊😎

This is just bonkers, great reaction and great idea of doing all three songs together, going through that rollercoaster. As young as they were, this is BABYMETAL at their best, such an iconic performance. I listened to the premier while driving but I could only grin imagining the WTF reaction.

Imagine almost missing out on this stuff because you didn't wanna necessarily react to them before. :D. Well now you start to understand why they're so big and highly regarded. They are so easily brushed aside as a gimmick band but they're so much more than that. Those who took the time to dig a bit further now what's what :).

I hope you do their trilogy of light as well. Starlight is my favorite babymetal song

Try to find a better sweet 16 party. I'll wait.

Awesome reaction! Your editing was so well put together, you must be the first and only who has done this trilogy at a time, keep up the good works. And welcome to the amazing Foxhole, kitsune up\^.^/

excellent content, Cyneward-Metal, epic is what BABYMETAL is all about. just you wait til you see the Goddess sacrifice herself to the light to become the messiah of the golden generation and she ascends into the sky to sing and create stars to shine on the people, and those who accept the light become the "One" btw #notacult

you should be watch akatsuki live budokan

Headbangerrr is my ultimate fave BM song and Japanese fans are the best. Wish you could react to the NEW Babymetal Death. Sis Anger used to be the heaviest BM song but no longer is. BM Death 2021 is.

First off..... #notacult Second, lots of great BM (BabyMetal - one word) to choose. Personally I'm a fan of Road of Resistance, but people have lots of good suggestions. Their music has the complete range from Power Metal to Power Ballads, Contemporary, Pop Fusion, Progressive, Hip-Hop and so many others. You won't ever be bored listening to them. Good luck with your journey, I look forward to seeing what else you learn about them. As does the Fox God. 🤘🦊🤘

EPIC! PERFOMANCES i love BABYMETAL and really enjoy the early years it seems more heavy than now but they still have a place in my heart next to all my other favorite Japanese bands.What is next for BABYMETAL? only the FOX GOD knows c-ya

Always love to see people's reactions to SuMetal crucified

#notacult BABYMETAL are on another level than any other band/group/artist! SUMETAL is a goddess! (well, after Legend S, here she became the Queen) I don't don't, have you done their Trilogy of Light? Starlight, Shine and Arkadia?

Epic reaction, dude! I don't think I have seen anyone do the Unofficial Trilogy of Death all in one sitting before but, that was awesome! I think I am allergic to Akatsuki unfinished version. My eyes get watery every time I hear it, lol. Kitsune Up! 🤘🦊🤘 #notacult

Awesome reaction! Thanks!!

Babymetal is always full of surprise! This version of Akatsuki called unfinished, has been played live only once, at this legend 1997 show. You should also react to the original Akatsuki live at Budokan is really good and safe. Even if it's the same song, it's so different that it feels like another song. I didn't read anyone explaining you the Babymetal Death thing, so I'll try and be concise. In Japanese, if you want to introduce yourself, you say your name first and follow with Desu (the U is silent). So Babymetal Desu means We are Babymetal. Desu feels really similiar to the english Death, so they pulled a pun there, since Death is the most metal way to introduce yourself :D The lyrics of the song are: they start spelling B-A-B-Y-M-E-T-A-L, the SU METAL DESU (or DEATH), YUI METAL DEATH, MOA METAL DEATH; BABYMETAL DEATH. And that's why this song was often used as a Concert opener (not this time) in their early days.

Excelente!! ....And in the end ; 3 atomic teen bomb kill everybody...bravooo!

Babymetal for live 🤘🏿🦊🤘🏿 Great reaction man 🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿

Great reaction my friend! #mostdefinatelynotacult

When people watch "Death" by itself, they go wild with the religious/cult conclusions. But when you watch Akatsuki along with it, it puts everything in perspective. BabyMetal is theatrical but not in a bad way. You get your money's worth. Whether you're there in person or watching on a screen.

You must react to Akatsuki (full band version) now. It's so good. Watch the one from live at Budokan Black Night.

Enjoyed your reaction! I can see why your channel popped up in my analytics! I’ve been reaching out to a few reactors that are open minded but also do some of the same bands. Going to sub and try to reach out to you.

Like I said before Welcome To The Fox Hole

25 Minutes!!!!!??? OH YES!!!!

nice reaction bro

🤘🦊🤘

Death! 🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻 #notacult

So cool 🤘

lets hope the last song they perform before the band comes to an end in october is death

Why do people feel the need to make up a trilogy moniker for these songs that have nothing to do with each other whatsoever?

I couldn’t imagine being in that crowd when Akatsuki (unfinished) was debuted. The emotions. Su’s performance. The setting. I don’t know if I would have stopped myself from tearing up. Sandwiched between Headbanger & Death. A rollercoaster of emotions. Oh yeah, I forgot crucifying Su… 😝😂

If you read the description of the video "Death" you would have seen it was a translation of what was said at the beginning of the video., The story.. " Opening Translation: Legend 1997. (referring to the year of Su's birth) It is told that receiving the legendary neck brace from the god of Metal, she shall abandon her human life and be reborn as a goddess. The bloodline which has been passed down from ancient times is destined to be the guide, boarding the ark of time. The apocalypse is prophesied DOOMSDAY comes There remains... little time.. "

Now do the opening of this show, "BABYMETAL - Ave Maria"! Kitsune Dao!

Do you know AKATUKI finish version. It is very nice too.

Great reaction as the title say. It’s Legendary. Welcome to the fox hole. Love from the sweden chapter. ❤
