Alright guys and girls! You gave me a great idea! I'm going to do a Babymetal reaction weekly, because it seems there is A LOT to cover, so at the end of this week/start of next one you can expect a KARATE reaction!

First floor: kami band Second floor: Su-metal She's an elevator girl.

The fact that this song is a slow song yet soo heavy its impressive. Not many bands can pull this off. Fun Fact: This song originally titled "Kill The Alice". It's basically Alice In Wonderland went wrong where she is trapped in a recycle (rondo) of nightmare, being chased by an unknown demon. She eventually accepted her fate and asked the creature to show itself before her inevitable death. Lyrically, it's Babymetal's darkest song to date and this particular live performance showed every single Kami Band skills set and their lead singer, Suzuka's showmanship and power as a metal vocalist. A beeautiful heavy metal lullaby. I recommend "Babymetal Death Legend 1997" or "Sis Anger" next if you want more heavy and dark stuff.

We BABYMETAL fans believe that the Mischief of Gods Intro was a ritual to summon Sumetal from hell.

If you're interested in the drummer, search "hideki aoyama". His father Jun Aoyama was also a very famous and legendary drummer in Japan. His son Hideki is also a top-notch drummer. Jun Aoyama (passed away in 2013) was the drummer for Tatsuro Yamashita. He was also the drummer for Mariya Takeuchi's "Plastic Love".

Moa and Yui were downstairs catching up on their homework

in my opinion the best drumming skills in a babymetal song come from syncopation

⚡ / 🔥 😱 🔥 And… that's why we made her our Queen at sixteen years old. : ) Her voice has only gotten better since that March 2014 concert. This song, and 'Akatsuki' from the same show are what made me a die-hard fan. Su performed three solos that night. She did 'No Rain, No Rainbow', followed by 'Akatsuki' earlier in the set. That Black Night Budokan concert is still one of my favorite shows of all time. IMO, BABYMETAL currently have two of the best metal drummers in the world right now. Hideki Aoyama and Anthony Barone.

If you end up becoming interested in the girls background (Nakamoto Suzuka, Kikuchi Moa and Mizuno Yui), the best I can recommend to react would be "My Graduation Toss" by Sakura Gakuin (The Idol group they were part of, and where Babymetal came from in 2010 as a subunit. The subunit is called 重音 部 "Jūon-bu" and "Doki Doki Morning" was their first song, released within the album "Sakura Gakuin 2010 Nendo - Message". Suzuka graduated from the group in 2012, Moa and Yui graduated in 2014...) The music that is seen by most as the one that opened the western market for them is the live of "Ijime, Dame, Zettai" at Sonisphere in 2014 (They were scheduled to perform on a small stage for a maximum of 5,000 fans who knew them, and for some reason, they were rescheduled to the main stage, with 50+ thousand true metalheads who were there waiting for Ghost, Anthrax and other bands with a lot of history in the field). BTW: it was their first time outside of japan :) A little more about the history of BABYMETAL: In 2017 Yui left the group due to health issues, and was expected to return to the 2018 tour, but she decided to leave the group, due to such health issues. Since then 3 girls have been alternating in the dance part of the shows - Riho Sayashi (Ex-member of the group Idol Morning Musume), Okazaki Momoko (Ex-member of Sakura Gakuin, graduated in 2017) and Fujihira Kano (Ex-member of Sakura Gakuin, graduated this year, in August). Riho started a solo career as an actress and singer a few months ago, and Fujihira is part of an Idol group that also originated within Sakura Gakuin with the other girls who graduated with her, so we don't know if they will dance with BABYMETAL or whether Okazaki Momoko will become an official member of the group... Here's a compilation of HIdeki's playing: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mbaZedqetNq2iok.html And here's more of the Kami Band: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hrN6ZbWcvtHMcXU.html

The look on your face when Boh (the bassist) does his solo is priceless.

The Kami Band (gods of music) are summoning Queen Su who sings about a perpetual nightmare with no escape.

As everyone mentioned, there isn't really a drum cam for Hideki's work with Babymetal. They are really tight on that with them, mainly to protect the girls. When they started Su was 13 if not 14, while Moa and Yui were 11 if not 12. To protect them as well as not giving insight into their private lives, they came up with a storyline/lore based around a mythical creature called the Fox God. That God also chose his musical avatars, known as Kamis, or gods, to play with them. That is to also give them the ability to rotate members of the band out to not interfere with any other projects they may have. Side note: most of the Kami band you see here all played together in a side project called the Kari Band, or played with Takayoshi Ohmura (he played the 2nd solo). A good cam shot of Hideki with that is in the video for "The Hills of Wisteria." Link for that is below. Finally, you said that you would kill to play in that arena. That is the Budokan arena, which while is primarily used for sumo wrestling, is a famous arena. You have to be INVITED to play there. The first band to ever play Budokan was the Beatles. More famously in the US, you'll know that Cheap Trick played there. Their song "I Want You to Want Me" was taped there and released as that single. Babymetal is the youngest band/group ever to play Budokan. The Hills of Wisteria: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z6eWjauQ3cqtiHk.html

is this a breakdown or solo,.?? well,..basically "Mischief of Metal Gods Intro" is a ritual performed by the god of guitar, bass & drum to summoned the Metal Queen Su-Metal. because in this song her human soul has been trapped in the recurring nightmare with no way to escaped. BM backing band is known as the "Kami Band". Kami means "Gods" in Japanese. In BM lore, the Kami band are gods of Metal sent by the Fox God to help BM unite all the peoples of the world as ONE. they dressed in white robes and corpse paint similiar to traditional Japanese burial. the Kami Band in this show are : - Leda Cygnus (1st guitar solo) in the past usually play with 6 string, but now he's using 7 or 8 string. - Takayoshi Ohmura (2nd guitar solo) he's using 7 string guitar named "Golden Moon". but, last year during the extra show "BM Metal Galaxy World Tour in Japan", both him & Leda was using 9 string guitar (ESP E-II MF-9 BabyMetal). - B.O.H (6 string bass). - Hideki Aoyama (drum). his little brother (Yuki Aoyama) and father (Jun Aoyama) also a drummers. but, sadly both has passed away. his father is consider as one's of the best drummer coming from Japan. as for the others two member (YuiMetal & MoaMetal), both of them is resting backstage eating tomatoes & hamburger before they performed duet as "Black BabyMetal".

Great reactions.. Their drummer is truly something special, so glad you see that too. I've never seen an iso cam for any of the kami band though. So that will prob be a tough ask. Next my personal fav, headbanger legend 1997. It's an amazing live version with amazing crowd energy

Thank you.This is one of my fevorite song.Your reaction is excellent!From JAPAN🦊

Su (AKA Su-metal), the lead singer, was only SIXTEEN years old in this video and is performing at the world famous Budokan arena in Japan, where you have to be invited to perform there. The Beatles, Cheap Trick, and Bob Dylan have performed there. This is a solo performance by Su and it gives the other two girls a chance to have a break since many of their concerts, especially in Japan, can be 1.5+ hours long. These girls go HARD on every song, so a rest break is necessary, plus there is the fact that they usually have to perform again the next night, then once in a while a 3rd night in a row. Nice reaction!

"I'm so excited!"......me too! Great fun thank you!!

Nice reaction!! This concert took place on 02/03/2014 at the 日本武道館(nihon budoukan). SU was 16 yrs old at this time. This song is one of SU's four solo tracks. There are also four Black BABYMETAL(YUI&MOA) songs. All of the patterns are recommended, but I would definitely recommend these songs first. However, I have chosen a slightly different one than when I first recommended BM's songs. - Tales of The Destinies - Sis.Anger [English subtitles] | Live Compilation - BABYMETAL DEATH Legend 1997 (Complete) - DISTORTION live Rock Am Ring 2018 I hope you continue to enjoy your BABYMETAL. Put your Kitsune🦊 up! from Japan. (Translation by DeepL)

Some channels put out a BABYMETAL reaction on a particular day every week - BABYMETAL Monday and so on... doing this will stretch it out and allow for other reactions while also letting fans interested in the band to be expecting another one on that day. And to potentially save someone’s life I will mention that they were playing at Budokan. You can’t kill to get there. You have to be invited. ;-)

it's rumored that Yui and Moa actually had to study for school while Su did her solos. No one has ever mentioned if Su did the same while Yui and Moa performed.

Queen SU and her kamis!

Thank you for listening to Babymetal Thank you for listening to Japanese music Great reaction🤘☺️

The level of the Kamiband is best illustrated by what Boh (the bassist) wrote in a blog: We quickly learned not to be casual about playing together, because if one of us made a small mistake or was a little out of rhythm, the others would look at him like "what are you doing?" Must be very intimidating to anyone not used tot that kind of mastery.

FWIW, Mike Portnoy ranks Hideki Aoyama as one of the best drummers on the planet, and in the same interview stated that Tales of the Destinies was one of the hardest songs he's ever learned. That's decently high praise, that.

My fav song of Su Metal's solos. This is just so good and with the godlike intro what else do we need. \m/

Megitsune. The mv is fun. 😈. Near the end keep an eye on Su's microphone..

We love watching people react to BABYMETAL. It's really good fun, because we get to re-live the sheer awe and wonder at experiencing it for the first time. At least for me. Best of luck with all your endeavors!

You're doing good clean reactions the people are looking for the videos cuz they're hoping you'll love the their groups their bands as much as they do 👍👍👍

that was great! try reacting to AKATSUKI you will enjoy it for sure or CATCH ME IF YOU CAN if you want more solos of the kami band 🤘

Megitsune next. That song is 'so Babymetal' 😉🦊🔥

To answer the "where are the others" question, this is a solo song for Su, the other two, known as Black Babymetal (could be the other way around) also have some songs alone, as a duo

Awesome. Yeah, the intro here is amazing, and it's also a lot of fun to see the Kamiband get to mug for the audience. Boh and Ohmura especially. It's also one of the best songs for Su to impress with her vocals. An unsually dark song for Babymetal, so it shows off part of her range we don't get to see often. In terms of drum cams, all I can offer is that he's sponsored by Yamaha, so he does have some promo videos for their kits.

Welcome to the world of Babymetal I recommend you listen Syncopation, Distortion and Akatsuki

Man! Thank To You for reacting more by BabyMetal!

YOU are a true student of METAL. I love listening to your commentary. Keep it up!! GREAT JOB!

If you do every Babymetal & Sakuragakuin video everday you will be done in 4 months. You gotta follow Su's progress from Karen Girls' when she was 11. Means much more. Oh yeah, Akatsuki & Amore please please please!

Здравейте от Германия . Thanks again for another great reaction, keep up the good work. There is still so much more to discover in the foxhole. It seems that a day without a BABYMETAL song is a lost day. Please stay healthy and stay metal you all 🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼

Next last baby metal PA PA YA !! pleassee

Excellent decision to make a special weekly slot for our Queen Suzuka, Princesses Moa, Yui and their loyal Kamis🦊👌🎵🎵🎵🙌🙌🙌

Great reaction man for this amazing performance! One of ny favorite song of Babymetal ever! You need watch now Black Babymetal Sís Anger live, is absolutely amazing and perfect. Yui and Moa are amazing!! 🤟🏻 🦊

I've been a babymetal fan for 10yrs my son got me into them,spotted your channel in reaction comments so had look,lovd your commentary and reaction, I like small channels so subscribed and deffo be looking out for more, great channel great work

React to Babymetal - Tales of destinies please

COVER THEM ALL! I LOVE YOUR BABYMETAL REACTIONS!

Subscribed!!! Been in love with BABYMETAL for a couple of years now..... Saw them a few times live, and they are awesome.. Kitsune UP!!! 🤘🦊🤘

Unfortunately Babymetal has kinda close atmosphere behind the stage. It will be very hard to find drum cam from babymetal show or from rehearsals. Maybe from another projects P.S Rondo of Nightmare is a solo song for Su-Metal (Suzuka Nakamoto) Same as No Rain No Rainbow, Akatsuki, Amore

It seems like you really, really want a BABYMETAL breakdown. Next up should be Megitsune MV!

If You wanna hear Hideki brutal performance, You must watch DISTORTION live download 2018, doble kick sounds like a machine.

(I've added some links in a reply comment, I know KZfaq sometimes marks comments as spam if they have links) Is Babymetal popular ? And thus is that why you got a lot of views, yes and no. Babymetal is popular but their fans are very dedicated too (and very well connected, many of us found Babymetal online, this means many already were very active online). It's in part because Babymetal is so good at delivering live performances and experiences. And they got awards to show for it too. This show was the show before Babymetal went on their first would tour. And they were very successful doing so, Babymetal's 3rd album reached #1 on the US Billboard rock (and metal) album charts, first Asian band to do so. Suzuka when she was a little girl (she was 16 here, not old, but at least older and they still aren't tall to this day either LOL) was dreaming to sing at the famous Budokan venue in Tokyo. Babymetal sold out for 2 days in row. The venue has been used for many artists, The Beatles were the first to perform there. It's actually a martial artists venue. The stage is 360 degrees, so during a martial arts finale everyone can see it as well as is possible for such a large venue. It still used for that today. In 2019 for example it was the stage for Judo World Championship. I sometimes compare it to the Royal Albert Hall in London or Madison Square Garden in New York in how famous it is. As you can see the girls, especially Su-metal is the center of Babymetal. The musicians are like a supergroup. They play based on availability as session musicians, when it comes to drumming Hideki has done the most performances. Yuya Maeta is the the second most Japanese frequent drummer with Babymetal. Anthony Barone has now probably done second most performances with Babymetal because doing some of the largest US and EU tours of Babymetal in 2019/2020. I think after the death of (guitarist) Mikio (RIP Mikio sensai !) Babymetal wanted to make sure they have enough musicians to always be able to continue to perform (so they now have this western Kami band and eastern Kami band). And now they have everyone in place... because of covid they are not able to tour. Yuya Maeta and 6-string basist BOH with Mikio had their own Jazz fusion band called Kari-band. After the death of Mikio they did continue though. But I don't think they have found a new permanent 3rd member. I don't know of any good videos of Hideki's playing up close. Maybe we should search a bit more on NicoNico ('Japanese KZfaq'). I just know of a compilation of video of his solos in Babymetal.

Great reaction. You've still only scratched the surface with Babymetal. One suggestion though. The pauses. I'm totally fine with pausing, but please try to back it up a couple seconds and save the patreon speech for the beginning and/or end. That was WAY too long of a pause right in the middle. I know patreon is important, but not in the middle.

HEADBANGER LIVE🤘❤

Cool review, the two days of this concert where great. The band is super then add the voices of the girls and you have an outstanding group. Thanks for the review.

I hope you can react to "Sis Anger" is another song that I like so much !! Thanks for making this reaction, I really liked your video

Man, you need to cover their song. I will waiting for that.

Something you might like to check out is a Rock Band from Monterrey MX - The Warning (Now signed with Lava Records) This impressive trio of sisters - Daniela 20 (guitar, piano and vocals), Paulina 18 (drums, piano and vocals), and Alejandra 15 (bass, piano and vocals), have elaborate musical affinities. They have participated in some of the most important rock festivals in Mexico such as Vive Latino, Hell & Heaven, Mother of All, Pal Norte, Force Fest and Rock al Parque in Colombia. They have also opened for Def Leopard (2 nights) & The Killers (2 nights) It is almost impossible to recommend just one song, So here is a link to their YT playlist page kzfaq.infoplaylists Their albums XXI Century Blood (2017) & Queen of the Murder Scene (Rock Novel) (2018) are simply incredible considering the age they were when they wrote the albums Here are some definite listens from their live Queen Of The Murder Scene concert Dust to Dust kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ist5lapp09GzmYk.html Ugh kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l66FrZyVt5nLp5s.html Dull Knives kzfaq.info/get/bejne/htpdnbGIlsmVhGQ.html Red Hands Never Fade kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qZeIZqWp3buzcp8.html QOTMS kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ha5-Y5CS197XqGg.html Check them out. They have a huge and dedicated fan base (The Warning Army) that will show up en masse in the comment section Also, they appreciate reactors spreading their music. TWA 🇦🇺

The “Mischiefs of Metal Gods" intro is a ritual performed by the gods of guitar, bass & drum to summon the Metal Queen Su-Metal. because in this song her human soul has been trapped in the recurring nightmare with no way to escape. the Kami Band in this show are : - Leda Cygnus (1st guitar solo) in the past usually play with 6 string, but now he's using 7 or 8 string. - Takayoshi Ohmura (2nd guitar solo) in this song he's using 7 string guitar named "Golden Moon". but, during the extra show "BM Metal Galaxy World Tour in Japan" in 2019, both him & Leda was using 9 string guitar (ESP E-II MF-9 BabyMetal). - B.O.H (6 string bass) - Hideki Aoyama (drum) his little brother (Yuki Aoyama) and father (Jun Aoyama) also a drummers. but, sadly both passed away. his father is consider as one's of the best drummer coming from Japan.

The drums of "Akatsuki" and "Syncopation" are also wonderful, so please listen to them. Also, praise su-metal🇯🇵

absolutely amazing and wonderful song thanks for this reaction please more Babymetal 😍😍🤩🤩😍😍🤩😍🤩

I’ll love to see your reaction to band maid, another Japanese band. Akane ,their drummer ,it’s so fun to watch in their live performances

This track is so much darker for a power ballad .she is dealing with a demon that wont leave so she calls out the entity to reveal oneself and learns to live with this burden.lyric up bruh.

I have never seen over 100k views of a BM reaction, GJ!

Those four musicians are called the Kamis or Gods by The One. In order of appearance, Leda Cygmus, Takayoshi Ohmura on guitars, Boh on bass and Hideki Aoyama on drums. This Is my fave song to show to metalheads that don't hv any clues of how legit Babymetal is...

Dude every channel that do the BM reacts skyrocket, two channels i watch pick a day to do their reacts lol

the kami band is just beyond. another drummer to check is danny carey of tool the video pheuma is just filming danny on the drums for that song he is really underrated.

Loving your reactions, if you're keen on halftime breakdowns, try YAVA!, Syncopation or Megitsune

You have to see Road of rasistance

The arena they played here is the Budokan, in which you have to be invited to play there, as far as I understand. Yes, one might just have to resort to killing to be able to play there, and Tokyo dome and Wembley.

Next Ijime Dame Zetai or Sis Anger PD: There is a video of the KamiBand before they where part of BabyMetal and you can find it on YT by tiping "BM KAMI Band playing Instrumental song."

Thank you for the nice reaction 　　　　　from Japanese Babymetal fans

welcome to the BabyMetal's Universe lml !!!

You could try their newer stuff too. BxMxC is also very impressive Babymetal song, yet so different.

Don't think they do it now but in the early years they had about two songs each, two Su-metal solos and then the other girls Yui and Moa would do a couple songs of their own as a duet. This gave the girls a chance to have a little break and rest during the concerts

React to Babymetal-amore. There is a crazy highspeed and fucking clean drum.

Baby metal are fantastic different wonderful gimme more 🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊❤️🇬🇧

Megitsune has the breakdown you are wanting! :) Kitsune up! Do the official video. BTW . . .It's fun to watch somebody get really into one band for a while. Then move to the next and so on. You will gain subscribers throughout. Then on to Band Maid, then . . Maximum the Hormone . . and on and on . .so much gr8 music out there. Keep up the fun reactions! Thank you. Subscribed :)

This Kami band is sooo goood! Their performance is great also in the song Akatsuki

BABYMETAL songs are written without considering human performance. So it will be interesting for musicians. I'm looking forward to the next video. 🌏🌍🌎🦊

I love watching musicians react to babymetal

Nice reaction, you've done 2 of my recommendations which displayed most of the drummer capabilities, next you can do Akatsuki Budokan live And btw Megitsune best if you do the MV version for the breakfown experience

Never been to your channel before, but you seem like a guy who would like clutch !

Amazing live...

Welcome to Bohland... Try Hills of Hysteria is the Kami Band Song with Takayoshi Ohmura.

They are simply amazing. Sadly they lost one of their lead guitarist, Mikio Fujioka in 2018 due to an accident. The Kami Band played a tribute song to him The Hill of Wisteria, you MUST check out: -- kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gap9e5hitbuYcaM.html

4:45 Same bro, same.

I would def check out the Kami Bands tribute to Mikio Fujioka called "The Hill of Wisteria" pretty awesome stuff rip Mikio

Lol the look on his face before the break down 🤣

DimitarK: is this a MF breakdown? Su: aAaAaAaAaAa!!

Man plz react to megitsune from babymetal, you can go to the live version: legend of 1997, or the official music video... I personally recommend the live version

Nice reaction ! You need react to Sis. Anger or GJ! 🤘🏻

You can find him by searching Kami Band and also other Baby Metal tunes. Down the road check out Akane Hirose, the amazing drummer in the impossible band, Band Maid. Su dose a solo in this one, one of the other girls could be playing the piano. Look for Band Maid, Feb 14, 2020 live. Domination but they are all good.

Gods did the summoning ritual for the Queen!

noice reaction my friend

Since everyone is suggesting babymetal, i'm gonna suggest famous japanese drummers. Yoshiki (X - Japan) - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y9yUepmgx7G5l6s.html Yuki Teshima (Versailles) - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m8mmgq-j25yVeZs.html Shinya (Dir En Grey) - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m8mmgq-j25yVeZs.html

Another great song with insane drumming is Road Of Redemption

Please reacts to megitsune"live"!

I'm showing this to my cat & she's watching with me 👀

Very nice! This song has a distinctive rhythm, so tricky drums are great. BABYMETAL's drum sounds have a strong presence and expressiveness, so it's exciting to hear them. I'd like to request a few songs, but there are many foxes who are more detailed than me, so I'm silent with a grin. Lol I hope you will continue to hear good sounds.

For a good look at Hideki skill you should totally react to Amore!!! He is killing it there!!!

Good reaction. Yes it's a lot to process. And absolutely Karate official mv next for sure. The mv production is insanely good. How have you not done Band-Maid yet? Omg, there's another band with a hard-core fan base. Definitely check out Domination or Play live. Trust me, you will dig it. They are sooo good.

if you have any chance, please check out their 2016 tour final at japan tokyo dome it is the best 2-days live show of babymetal in my opinion

If you love epic bass and drum solo's . Check out Band Maids live performance of " Freedom " it's a badass show !
