F Hero is not Philipino and he's not from the Philippines He's a Thai rapper from Thailand The song is basically about having a spicy green papaya salad in the summertime which is very popular in Thailand

I am a 59 year old metal bassist from Miami and this has been my favorite band for 5 years now. I consider myself a "Kitsune" and member of "The ONE". This group is outrageously good. The rapper, F-hero, is from Thailand, not the Philippines. 4 albums, 60 songs, many, many videos, the most amazing live performances on world class stages that rival anything Alice Cooper ever did. They started when they were pre-teens and have been together over a decade now. One of the biggest international acts ever and certainly the biggest to ever come out of Japan. I suggest ROAD OF RESISTANCE, Live in Japan as your next BABYMETAL experience. Kitsune dao!

I gotta comment on a few more things ... their songs are carefully crafted to include crowd participation..many songs have very catchy choruses, crowd chants, and obvious moments where they encourage the crowd to join in on some choreo moves .. and that’s in my opinion a big part of the appeal. So after a show, you don't leave thinking "oh i just saw Babymetal", instead you feel "ah i just performed WITH Babymetal!" The appeal is genius and awesome! On top of that a lot of their songs include very positive empowering messaging with heavy community connection. And Su, lead singer, has an incredible voice. There are a LOT of moving parts to this band and I havent found any other band where it all fits together so seamlessly and effortlessly. I'm beyond hooked.

Papaya is a metaphor for life. Som tum, Thai papaya salad (F. Hero is Thai by the way), is something you might get at a street festival, with singing and dancing. It's like life, best mashed together, the sweet and spicy. Babymetal is a force of nature.

Great first reaction and welcome to the BABYMETAL Foxhole.🦊The fanbase is called "The ONE", individually they are referred to as Kitsunes or Megitsunes (foxes or vixens). BABYMETAL are like nothing you will have seen or heard before. You will not be able to pigeonhole them or to place them into just one box, so don't even try - they are original, innovative and unique and they pioneered their very own metal sub-genre (Kawaii Metal) ... and they have gone on to become so much more than that. They originally fused metal with JPop aesthetics (they are Japanese, so it is JPop - not KPop), but they have gone on to mix and blend so many other musical styles and genres with the metal. BABYMETAL are one of the best live acts on the planet (and have international awards to prove that is not just my opinion). They are currently touring the US and Canada with Dethklok (the Babyklok Tour) until some time in October and they will be back in the UK and Europe in November and December. They formed in 2010 aged 12, 11 and 11 as a passion project of their metalhead producer who was so impressed with the lead singer's vocal talents and stage presence when he saw her with her previous group (she was about 11 at the time) that he had the mad idea of her fronting a metal band and fusing Metal with JPop aesthetics - he thought it could breath new life into the stagnating metal and rock scene in Japan (as it was at that time) and might even attract a new and younger audience to listen to metal and rock. They are Su-metal (lead vocalist) and Moametal and, since April 1st this year, Momometal (backing vocals, harmonies but mainly in charge of dance, leading the audience, getting everybody involved and joining in - audience participation is a huge part of what BABYMETAL are all about). The third original member, Yuimetal, sadly left the band in October 2018 having been absent from the stage for the previous 12 months. She had ongoing (and undisclosed) health issues. Su and Moa continued as a duo for the next 4 or 5 years, supported by 3 dancers (the Avengers) dancing in the third spot (it was the same one, Momoko, from about February 2020). They teased the reveal of a new third member in April - happily it was her, so she is all mic'd up and singing as well as dancing now. You won't find Su-metal on Tinder ... or any other social media - they do not exist off stage. However, if you really want to know what might have shocked somebody going to see a concert performed by three sweet and very humble young ladies watch how they celebrated Su-metal's 16th birthday in December 2013 with the live performance of 'BABYMETAL Death' live at their Legend 1997 concert (Su was born in 1997, she is the legend) - then tell me if you ever saw anything more 'Metal' in your life.🤘 They have nearly 70 songs now, every one of them is different. They have songs in virtually every metal genre but will mix in other musical styles and genres with the metal. Some songs lean towards their pop roots others are just good hard metal and they do everything in between - so if you don't like one song no problem - try another, the chances are you'll love it. You already have some great suggestions for more songs in the comments below (Jake Muller has left an excellent list for example). This performance of 'PA PA YA' was filmed in Yokohama at the start of their 2019 tour. F Hero is a rapper from Thailand and very well known there, he flew in to Japan specially to perform on those first two nights of the tour. When BABYMETAL played in Bangkok a couple of months ago F Hero made another special guest appearance. 'PA PA YA' is a summer festival song - and yes it really is about a spicy green papaya fruit salad. F Hero was rapping in Thai to the same rhythm as mixing the ingredients for the salad with a mortar and pestle. They are pretty much saying that, much like the salad, mixing the right spices into life will make that better too.

Oh boy this is a hell of an introduction to Babymetal song for you! A few things ... no two songs sound alike. They blend lots of genres and cultural music with metal. They do very intense detailed choreo for every song which usually helps tell the story of each song. They are backed by top 1% session musicians. They truly are a marvel and if you give them a chance you may love it! I am 46, Dream Theater is my favorite band ever, and I never knew I needed badass cute choreo in my metal until now! My wife and I went to see them our first times ever a couple weeks ago back to back days in Houston and Dallas and let me tell you, no amount of live videos prepare you for their crowd control and presence in person, and the energy is freakish levels! Easily the best two concerts of my life!

Great reaction, I really enjoyed that! And I'm glad that your chat reacted so positively. There are still a lot of Metal elitists that bash BABYMETAL. To me they are simply the most entertaining and fun band on the planet. I have been a Metal fan for 35 years now, but I have never enjoyed any band that much. It's not just fantastic music, it's incredibly versatile, high energy, technically close to perfection, and it has this unusual positive aura. Also, they motivate me to open up to new things. I would never have tolerated choreographed dancing or Rap music before I discovered them. But as soon as they touch it, it all turns into gold. Phenomenal band!

Great reaction, thanks! Yes, "PA PA YA!" is about a spicy Thai green salad and it's also a "matsuri" (traditional Japanese summer festival) song and it's all about having fun. And yes BABYMETAL's appeal was mainly based (at least on its origin) on the "dissonance" caused by the juxtaposition of elements that shouldn't gel together. Like metal with "kawaii" (cute) aspects. Note that, in this video they are grown up (except for Kano who was 14 at the time), but now imagine this with them being 12 and 11 years old. Because that was how they started. I discovered them late, by the time of this performance took place (2019), but in 2010 it was like 🤯 And, by the way... you have no idea how right you are about the "owning" situation in case someone hurt them... 🤣 🤘🦊

You've just scratched the surface of something amazing. Babymetal are something completely unique in the world of music; there is no other act in the world that is quite like them. Babymetal is a blend of Japanese J-pop vocals, dance, and aesthetics with heavy metal music to create a fusion they call "kawaii-metal" (cute metal). They've been doing this since 2010 when they were just little kids, and they are still at it currently; they are on tour right now in the US, having already toured Europe and Asia earlier this year, and they play this song at almost all of their live shows and it always goes this hard. Oddly enough, Babymetal shows have the nicest and friendliest moshpits in metal. If you're ever going to a show and jump in the pit, Babymetal is the show to do it at. Oh, and Babymetal fans are collectively known as "The One", and individual fans are "kitsune" (foxes) if male, or "megitsune" (vixens) if female.

BABYMETAL has been making people happy and gatekeepers angry all over the world for more than a decade already. Lead singer SU-METAL is, to put it mildly, one of the best performers in the world.

"You ain't seen nothin yet" ... if you want to feel energized, happy and uplifted ... if you want to mosh, dance, jump, shout, scream, clap and walk away from a Babymetal concert wondering why you feel like a train hit you ... there's no one better ... welcome to the Foxhole 🤘🦊🤘

Nice reaction Roscoe! I'm 62 young man and I've seen at least 50 of the top bands in the 70s and 80s, and I just seen babymetal this past week in Philly and let me tell you, the riffs and energy in their music is mind blowing!

Without doubt the best live band ever. To truly appreciate this awesome band they have to be viewed live.

It is not about fruit, it is about papaya salad, typical in Thailand on summer (country from where their guest artist in this song is from).

Just saw them last night in NYC. The crowd went absolutely nutty when they played this. It's definitely the audience singing. The audience participation at their show is like Rocky Horror level. You need to hear the stuff off the new album. Their sound has grown up as they have.

Welcome to the Foxhole and BabyMetal journey.🦊🤘🔥 Nice to see more reactors getting into this amazing group. Fandom officially is called "The One", we even got a song dedicated to all of us with that title, and also we're called kitsune (fox) for male fans, and megitsune (vixen) to female fans, this is related to the lore and BM songs released way before this song from 2019, so no, we're not called papaya. BabyMetal is a Japanese metal dance unit created in 2010 under another Jpop/Jrock group called Sakura Gakuin, they had 11 and 12 years old when started this and become independent after 2013, they created their own genre called kawaii-metal mixing Jpop with metal sound and different subgenres along with many more rhythms. Their name is a reference to a new genre and not related to their ages or "baby" faces, is a pun intended play words with "heavy-metal" which sounds similar to "baby-metal". They are: *SuMetal* lead vocalist, now 25. *MoaMetal* scream and dance, now 24. *YuiMetal* scream and dance, former member since 2018. *MomoMetal* scream and dance, she's 20 and is the new official member since April 1st recently. None of them are related. After 2018 you'll see backup dancers performing along with them but none of are official members, they don't sing, only dance, but that status change recently like i told you. Babymetal never have afraid of trying something new. In this case they are mixing thai rap with BabyMetal unique sound. Of course with the Kami Band playing behind this song is even better. Cool you found this live version since the official MV is with the same footage but with album studio track. This is a party festival summer song (Matsuri da), they're actually singing about papaya salad and mixing with other things as an allegory of life to enjoy mixing different stuff, in this case the thai and japanese culture. Papaya is a fruit. F.Hero is a Thai rapper (not Pinoy), top notch Thailand artist, and he rap about that in his part. Waving your towel while dancing and singing is a must and the girls love that. This song belongs to 3rd album "Metal Galaxy" released in 2019 but this one as well many more songs are exploring a different Babymetal side, sometimes more mature, but trying to not lose their fun. This one belongs to the Light Side disc of that concept álbum. The footage of this was took from BABYMETAL AWAKENS: The Sun Also Rises 2019 in Yokohama Arena Japan, F.Hero was invited for this, the night before he was really in panic with the amount of people and even throwing out after the show, It ain't easy to face that crowd, especially after receiving some negative critics from BM fans who didn't like his participation on this, fortunately he felt good and received a warming welcome. Also that night introducing the _avengers_ system, a group of three backup dancers filling the third spot that YuiMetal left (she left the group in 2018). They rotate so not always you'll see the same one on stage, the live official MV is with Kano Fujihira, she started this when having 14 years old, so young like the girls back in their early days, she's also here in this. And no, the lead singer and anyone of the group nor the band does growling or screamo, that's a backing track. Next recommendation usually safe to react: - _"Ijime Dame Zettai"_ live at Sonisphere Festival 2014, official. This year they returned with a new album and 10 new tracks, and right now they're doing The Babyklok Tour in the US Tour along with Dethklok, so hopefully you'll get the chance to see them live, also they will be at Aftershock and Louder Than Life Festival and this song is part of the setlist in every concert. I'm gonna try to leave in my next comment where to get clips safe to react if YT allows me to do it. Thanks for sharing this and see you next time.🦊🤘🍠

Dude just saw them live, it was amazing! Glad you’re checking them out!!

Babymetal holds the merch sales record at Wembley.

Sorry but F.HERO is from THAILAND. BABYMETAL was formed in 2010 when SUMETAL was only 12 yrs old and YUIMETAL, and MOAMETAL were only ten. YUIMETAL left BABYMETAL in late 2018. Queen SU is now 25 yrs old, Moa is 24, and the newest member Momoko is 20.

Welcome!! Not my fav track but it is great fun and they are SO much more than this - you can pretty much guarantee being surprised by them no matter what you see - they are a stunning LIVE band. More please! 👍

BABYMETAL = Pure fun and positive energy. You just opened up a whole new beautiful world and you haven't seen nothing yet. Subbing to hopefully see you continue your journey down the FOX hole. You seem to have the open mindedness and fun attitude for it. 🤘🦊🤘

P.S not only has BABYMETAL been performing since 2010. but they have done 5+ world tours and have been on support tours with some of the BEST metal bands around. Here is a few JUDAS PRIEST, RHCP, SABATON, KORN, pus other bands. Bands who have toured with BABYMETAL, AVATTAR, BMTH, and others. they are now on their second week of their US Tour with DEATHKLOK. this will be their 4th U.S. tour.

this band is special and every song is mind bending, so many genre touches and just incredibly versatile and so heavy sometimes. :) lyrically some of their songs are childish somewhat but,.. what do you expect when they started around the age of 14 :)

The ultimate summer party/festival song 🤘🦊🤘

So my first experience with BabyMetal was In SLC, Utah when I went to see Lady Gaga and BabyMetal opened for her and I honestly was sitting there like :O what in the world how do I make my life about this! I honestly had more fun seeing them than Lady Gaga and that says a lot!

I and 10,000 others had an absolute blast watching Babymetal at The Mann in Philly last Tuesday. They are ethereal, stunning, fun, beautiful and Absolutely amazing!

We are the One

BABYMETAL is what happens when you take a silly gimmick and pour a decade of dedication, talent, and joy into it. They are a very rare jewel in the entertainment world. They are completely themselves in a way that very few artists allow themselves to be.

Welcome & Thanks from Japan, homeland of BABYMETAL 有難う💛。BABYMETAL is now going on North American tour (30 gigs in USA and Canada) with Dethklok. And this compilation video includes some clips of performance at The Forum, CA on Oct.11, 2019. BM is the best musical phenomenon I have ever experienced in my 68-year-long life. (Before BM, I was a stubborn jazz / funk lover). We say "Japan is the country obsessed by Rock Music". The history is very long and the obsession started in 1966 when Beatles visited Japan and held 5 concerts at Budokan. Speaking of hard rock / heavy metal music, a number of bands started to come to Japan since as early as 1970s : Led Zeppelin / Grand Funk Railroad (1971), Deep Purple (1972), Queen (1975), Kiss (1977), Cheap Trick / Van Halen / Scorpions (1978), Judas Priest (1978/79) and so on. Now, any type of rock can be enjoyed here, especially by many all-female or women-fronted bands. They are daughters of American / European rock, for sure. (Many are grand-daughters in terms of age.) Please explore BM more. Uh-oh, we also say "Japan is the country obsessed by Jazz". It had started earlier than rock 😄

Babymetal is actually one of the world's best live acts. You'll be amazed if you continue on this path to more Babymetal. Subbed

Love babymetal they’re so incredible

Babymetal: A group of Rock we like/love, it's a speciation full different

Welcome to the Fox hole 🦊 Not a bad song to start off with, this is about half way ish thru their journey as a band. Be sure to check out "Rondo of Nightmare with Mischiefs of God intro Budokan live" (best live show highlighting the kami band behind the girls, must see! Top 3 classic from BabyMetal)

Babymetal fans are called "The One". PaPaYa is just one of there songs. Originals songs from over 10 years ago are Gimme Chocolate, Doki Doki Morning is their 1st song. Newer songs are Metal Kingdom, Monochrome, Dusk till Dawn, Syncopation, Metalzim, Metali. They have songs that have a Latin feel, Bollywood feel, techno, Jpop, heavier metal, cutesy. They have toured with Red Hot Chili Peppers, Guns and Roses, Lady Gaga. Rob Zombie was interviewed and was very complimentary and defended these girls when some folks were talking smack. Very talented. They are the originators of Japanese metal. Many new heavy Japanese bands all owe it to Babymetal. They are still young. Su-Metal the lead singer is 25. However she is the Queen of Japanese metal and had been doing it for over 10 years now and been singing since she was 5 years old.

Hahaha nice, asses has been kicked at Babymetal shows since before 2013 😆 You should check out how they command 20k people in "Road of Resistance" 🤘🦊🤘🦊

Omg so glad you're reacting to Babymetal! Please do more Babymetal reactions! You can start from their early cute ones like GIMME CHOCOLATE or Doki Doki Morning! They're really cool and amazing live as well.

Enjoyed your reaction see The One are already here and give you loads of information 😁 welcome to the BabyMetal foxhole you will never have so much fun 🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼

Subscribed. When the ladies performed this song live with F HERO in Thailand this year and they could not stop smiling. I love the way Su rolls the rrrrrrrrs when she sings “brrrrrrrrring it”. 🦊 🖖 ❤

Bro, Amazing band 🤘

BABYMETAL - Rondo of Nightmare (w/ Mischiefs of Metal Gods Intro) LIVE at Budokan kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qtN9osaBnp-1m4U.html

BabyMetal began in 2010 there were Suzuka Nakamoto age 12 Moa Kikuchi and Yui Mizuno (Yui left in 2018 due to health reasons). Both Moa and Yui were 11 years old All three girls were friends and classmates who attended an idol school/group (Sakura Gakuin) founded in 2010 by Amuse Talent Agency for girls 10 to 15. Themed around school life (they attended regular school as well) the girls would learn and train at vocals, dancing, public speaking and etiquette, etc., graduate at age 15 and then move onto whatever entertainment path they chose or that suited their talents. Key Kobayashi was a music producer for Amuse and heard Suzuka sing at age 9 and was impressed with her strong vocals and stage presence. Kobayashi was a fan of heavy metal but believed that the genre had become stale and tired (especially in Japan) with metal bands getting old Kobayashi believed the genre needed to be reborn (BabyMetal means the birth of a new metal genre). Kobayashi felt that Suzuka had the ability to front a metal band and that her vocals and presence could withstand the metal guitars and drums. The fusion of Jpop and Metal began. He placed Moa and Yui as backup singers/dancers and a phenomenon was about to result. At first Amuse showed no interest and the girls had only financing from Kobayashi. They performed at strip malls and small venues using clothes borrowed from friends and family. No money for a real band they had friends dressed in homemade skeleton costumes pretending to play instruments to a backtrack. They became a sensation (these young ladies paid their dues). Amuse saw the potential and in 2012 hired the best session musicians Japan had to offer (The Kami Band) who tours with them today (now includes world class musicians from the USA for tours outside of Asia). If you choose to explore more of BabyMetal I suggest reacting to LIVE performance videos as this is where they shine. They have over 60 LIVE songs/performances and each one is different. They are fearless exploring many genres and have the respect of the legends of Metal such as Metallica, Slipknot, Rob Zombie, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Judas Priest and more. Avoid Glastonbury LIVE performances as the sound production by the BBC (who was in charge of that festival did a terrible job - mics not turned on, incorrect volume levels, etc.) Suggest reacting to these for a start.

Salve, BABYMETAL é MT massa

Oh hell yeah man! Stunning reaction. Already subscribed and following you on Twitch 🦊🤘🏼 You can't go wrong with BABYMETAL and I can't wait for more.

i Didn't know Tom Hanks did reaction videos. Good choice, I love BABYMETAL!!!!!!!

BABYMETAL 101 Babymetal is a Japanese group founded in 2010 and produced by Kei “Koba” Kobayashi from the Amuse Inc. talent agency. Babymetal name comes from the birth of a new style of metal fusing j-pop with metal creating what they call Kawaii Metal (Cute-Metal). The group currently consists of Suzuka Nakamoto aka “Su-Metal” (25 years old) sometimes referred to as Vocal and Dance. Moa Kikuchi aka "Moametal", pronounced as Moa-Metal (23 years old) as part of Scream and Dance. Momoko Okazaki aka Momometal (20 years old) as part of Scream and Dance. They are supported by a rotating selection of talented male backing musicians known as the Kami Band (Kami is usually poorly translated as gods, but in truth it more closely means awe inspiring spirit, entity, or object) It is why they are dressed in white to look like ghosts or spirits, though Kami being used as God(s) is so common in translation the white outfits get lost.) Past Formations. Heavy Music Club Era (2010-2012) From 2010 to 2012 Babymetal consists of a three-member formation, Suzuka Nakamoto (Age 12), Moa Kikuchi (Age 10), and Yui Mizuno aka "Yuimetal" pronounced Yui-Metal. (Age 10). First starting out as the Heavy Music Club as a subunit within the Developmental Idol Group created by Amuse in 2010 known as Sakura Gakuin. Sakura Gakuin is a group that introduces girls between the ages of 10-15 to music, dance, modeling, and acting through Japanese Pop idol music and culture. Given a school theme, all three would be a part of Sakura Gakuin until their graduation from it in the same school year they would graduate from Japanese middle school or 15 years old. Suzuka graduated in March 2013, and Moa and Yui in March of 2015. Sakura Gakuin is a fantastic group with great kawaii jpop songs in their own right. During this time there was no lore, and the girl’s costumes were more punkish in nature, which they helped create. They also didn’t perform with live music, using a backing track or the “Skeleton band” people pretending to play music behind them. Music Video of this Era Doki Doki Morning (Debut Song) Iine (Pronounced EE-N A spelled i i n e) Headbangya Babymetal/ Metal Resistance Era (2012-2017) Starting in 2012 with the Legend I concert, Babymetal began its slow divorce from Sakura Gakuin, and was the first introduction of the Kami Band as well as the “Lore” that is still heavily involved in Babymetal but makes far less sense than it did during this time. The Lore is complex and involves a battle against other evil idol corporations, gaining powers, some time travel, running a resistance group, all at the direction of a mythical deity known as the fox god, against an all-power enemy known as Akiba. The first Legend show “I” was the Kami Bands introduction to the end, but it also had the Skeleton Band which is seen in the wildly popular Gimmie Chocolate Music Video. This was followed by Legend D, and then Legend Z, in which it was learned that Babymetal would continue as its own entity after Suzuka’s graduation from Sakura Gakuin in March of 2013. Slowly over 2013 the Skeleton Band would be phased out of all live shows, as Babymetal came into their own. Babymetal as it is with Su-Metal, Moametal, Yuimetal, the Kami Band, and a somewhat understandable lore is what consisted for the majority of its existence. Also established beyond the 3-member formation, they had 2 other set ups, one was what fans called Su-Solos, and it would just be Su on stage with the Kami band, performing a solo, and the other is known as Black Babymetal by the band themselves, which consisted of just Moa and Yui. Music Videos of this Era Gimmie Chocolate Megitsune Rondo of Nightmare - With mischief of the Gods Intro (Su Solo and a great expedition of the Kami Band) Road of Resistance Live in Japan (Co-written by Dragonforce) Iijime, Dame, Zettai Live at Sonisphere (Name means No More Bullying Forever) Karate The Dark Times, The Chosen 7 Era (2018) In December 2017, Yui would miss the Legend-S concert for health reasons, these health problems would prosiest into 2018 and greatly affect the 2018 touring season bring the “Chosen 7” formation, consisting of Suzuka Nakamoto, Moa Kikuchi, and 2 backing dancers Minako Maruyama, and Minami Tsukui. Changes they would not tell fans and all throughout 2018 communicate extraordinarily little causing lots of pain for all involved fan and performer. This era is noted by their strange armor like costumes, sometimes referred to as Elf Armor. To make the poor communication, and Yui’s absence wasn’t bad enough, one of the more regular Kami band members, Mikio Fujioka passed away after falling off a balcony in late December 2017 while star gazing. A beloved and incredibly talented musician lost, leaving behind his wife and only child. In September 2018 Yui formally resign from Babymetal, stating her unspecified health and wishing to move on. Babymetal themselves announced that the group will move on focusing on Suzuka and Moa. (Something many idiots within the fandom refuse or are too stupid to understand) In October Babymetal had a concert called Dark Night Carnival which added dancers, Shoko Akiyama, Saya Hirai, and Kotono, placing a total of seven girls on stage. This was also done without warning to fans and was an absolute mess. Babymetal would finish off the 2018 tour season returning to the 3-member formation with just Saya Hirai joining them in southeast Asia and Australia. Ending one of the most troubling times in Babymetal’s history. Music Videos of this Era (These MVs do not feature the members in them at all) Distortion Starlight (Don’t let overzealous fans fool you, this is OFFICIALLY not a tribute to anyone. A lot of fan speculation, end of story if they claim it is they are 100% lying to you.) Metal Galaxy Era (2019- Feb 2020) First introduced in 2019 during the Babymetal Arises concert in Yokohama, before the start, the “Avenger” support dancer concept was explained in the lore, and the concept thanks to communication and a maintaining of the 3-member formation brought Babymetal out of dark times brought about during 2018. Babymetal seemed to have returned to its roots with the Avengers, as 2 of the three (Kano and Momoko) come from Sakura Gakuin. The third Riho, went to the same performing arts school as Suzuka during the same time, Actors School Hiroshima aka ASH. Music Videos of this Era Pa Pa Ya Elevator Girl Shanti Shanti Da Da Dance (Avenger confusion) Which Avenger one sees can be confusing for those new to Babymetal. For the Music Videos, Pa Pa Ya, Elevator Girl, and Shanti Shanti Shanti, it is Kano Fujihira, who was just 14 years old at the time. Da Da Dance is a compilation of Momoko and Riho and a splicing of 2 different shows. In most fan cam videos of the American and European tour it would be either Riho or Momoko, as they toured with Babymetal in 2019. Kano had responsibilities with Sakura Gakuin as its president, a position Suzuka and Moa both held in Sakura Gakuin, and she’s never flown on a plane before. Some fans for 2019 did throw a stupid temper tantrum over the use of new Kami Band members who are from the west now known as the West Coast Kami Band, but like how the girls won over many, so did they and the payoff with the Legend Metal Galaxy concert in 2020 was well worth it.

Very funny reaction 🦊🦊

I took my grandson to see them just before Christmas, he's 10 and joined the mosh pit. Babymetal have a reputation that in 14 years no one has ever even been slightly injured in their mosh pits.

I was in the pit last Sunday night in Michigan. It was amazing!

Pls do more babymetal reactions.

Lets react more babymetal 🦊🦊🦊live performance

Slightly different from Mamamoo! BabyMetal have been proving that Japan is from a different planet since 2010. Back then, the concept was even more bizarre. Tiny girls in tutus being backed by a fully professional metal band. It just should not work but as you have discovered, it does. Many others have commented about them and given you a history. It is worth mentioning that BabyMetal MV's and live performances are probably the hottest thing on KZfaq for blocks and strikes. These in my opinion, dreaded compilation videos are a way around it but you lose the spectacle and grandeur of the stage set ups and effects.

To give you some idea of the deep respect in which these ladies are held in the metal and rock world they have either opened for , toured with or collaborated with a few small bands you may just have heard of - Metallica , Guns N' Roses , Red Hot Chili Peppers , Korn , Tom Morello ( Rage against the Machine ) , Rob Halford ( Judas Priest ) to name but a few . This year they toured Europe with Sabaton before starting their own World Tour - they're no 5 minute wonders but a band who have earned their stripes over a period of more than 10 years .

Nice 😊

OMG YESSSSSS! :D

Boy you have no idea what you just got yourself into.🦊🤘🔥

🤘🦊🤘

well this just got me to subscribe.

Welcome to the foxhole. 🤘🦊🤘

I literally just saw them perform in Canada on Monday. They do indeed sound this amazing live!!!! I love them so much. They bring such a great energy to their concerts. I wish I could go again!!!!

Ive just came across some of your reaction videos on youtube, and I must say that I am loving the genuine energy that you bring so much! 🙌 Also, Ive noticed you reacting to Stray Kids (stray cats 😂) and Black Pink, as well to one video that I really loved your reaction to..which would be Kim Yeji and her band (Kardi) covering the song "Legends Never Die".... to say the least I've loved all of them 🙌 I have a suggestion on what I think would be a couple of banger reaction videos of yourself...Leo Moracchioli (Frog Leap Studios) covering Stray Kids - Maniac, Black Pink - Boombayah, Black Pink - How You Like That, as well as Black Pink - Pink Venom I think that you will thoroughly enjoy all of them! 🫶 p.s. Im pretty sure you already have this in your schedule, and I cant wait to see your reaction to Lisa - La Lisa 💪 Cheers, my guy! 🙌

PA PA YA: jaw-dropped 😲 METALI!!!: fainted 😵 NIGHT NIGHT BURN: dance till you drop! 🥵

This is a glimpse into the Future...

Babymetal bxmxc next!!

Great reaction i hope u enjoy with this song, pls keep react babymetal 🤘🦊🤘

💜💜

🔥🤘🦊🤘🔥.... Hey!! Are you ready ? Are you ready?....No not yet 👹

I saw this band in Thailand with F.Hero. He’s a Thai rapper, small intimate venue. It was amazing!

I can't wait for you to watch road of resistance live you are going to lose your mind if you liked this!

the way i never see a babymetal crowd with just their phones up taking videos!! it's always a festival with them i love that

Pa Pa Ya is an uplifting song about summer. ‘Don’t stress, life is short, enjoy yourself.’ Fans of BabyMetal are called The One…there’s a song with that title, if you want to look it up. No, the intensity of this song is no fluke. Many, if not most, of their songs have it. They have been performing together since they were in middle school. There is a music video called ‘Headbanger’ made while they were in that performing arts middle school. Many of their early works were performed by them professionally. Headbanger is still performed today. I ask that you be considerate when talking about the girls. The oldest, and lead singer, Su was born in 1997. Yui and Moa are two years younger. Much of their music, live and pre-recorded, was made when they were pre and early teenagers. Don’t be a typical American jerk. Gate keep, laugh and be sarcastic all you want, but treat the girls with the respect they have earned. I’m not a polite, reserved citizen of Japan so I’m speaking my mind. Headbanger (early and later versions, Road of Resistance (Live in Japan) and Karate should get your review, assuming you haven’t already. Always search for live versions. Don’t let BabyMetal be your secret pleasure. You’re above all that. Share it. I’m an old vet, been to every state, many countries and most continents. I’ve lived in foxholes, trenches, caves, ships, barns and a luxury hotel (once). Yet, I never saw such an original, heart pumping act like them. I’m proud to now add a much nicer kind of ‘Foxhole’ to my list of abodes.

Some of the choreography (specofically the hand twirl thing) is a reference to traditional dances that they do at japanese festivals (especially obon)

I am so proud to be a Babymetal head. Love them❤

I am soooo happy you discovered Babymetal. You have no idea what is in store for you. They are about to become one of your favorite bands. 100%

Saw them live just last month in Dallas- it was amazing! As expected, of course. There are still some dates on their US tour with Deathklok (the boring part of the evening), and tickets might be available. Worth a trip! They played this as their third song- it's very much a party song, about having a good time in the summer, with no deeper meaning, and Su always looks happy while singing it, as if it's her favorite thing to do.

i can never not get totally into this song, its so hype for me

“It’s like Gwar”. Holly shit it is 😲

😁😁😁🤘🤘🤘

Correction F.Hero (Full title is F*cking Hero) is a Thai rapper, one of the most and well known for his rough metal-like voice when he raps

I guess heavy metal is not for me but damn

Welcome to the Babymetal Foxhole. "PA PA YA" is from Babymetal third album METAL GALAXY. Papaya is a tropical fruit available anywhere in Asia especially in the region of South East Asia. "PA PA YA!!" is a dance song with an underlying massage of striving for personal excellence, collaboration with a very well known Thailand 🇹🇭 rapper from Chiang Rai name Natthawut Srimok nickname Golf but known popularly by his stage name F.HERO (Fukking Hero) and specialise in the Hip-Hop and Rap genre. Some remarks in Thai lyric translation part:- Molam= Thai-Isan local music "Papaya -Pok-Pok= Thai pun phrase means Som-Tam, Thai food made up from papaya-chopped mix up with chilli, tomato, garlic, palm sugar, lots of vegetable and others depends on varies area. "Som-Tam" also have the same meaning with "Hanaka"= Thai old snack, slang word means like "sugoi" in Japanese 🇯🇵. Great reaction. Background and release:- "Pa Pa Ya!!" was released worldwide on June 28, 2019, just ahead of the band's performance at Yokohama Arena Japan 🇯🇵 the same day. The song was also released as a bonus CD to the box set Metal Resistance Episode VII - Apocrypha: The Chosen Seven. As Moametal states, "Pa Pa Ya!!" has a fun performance, and is the first of their songs to feature a rap section. Composition:- Similar to other Babymetal songs, "Pa Pa Ya!!" gathers influence from various genres while preserving the band's J-pop and electronic music. With its name referring to the papaya, "Pa Pa Ya!!" contains components of southern lands, Japanese 🇯🇵 festivals, and a chaotic tune, for a "hot upper tune" in the summer. The song is composed of an "infectuous synth line", "bouncy guitar riffs", and vocals repeatedly yelling "Pa pa ya", with the tune showcasing Su-metal and Moametal singing around each other in contrast to the chants and guitars. F.Hero raps a verse which provides elements of nu-metal, and applying "horror-esque synths" against the bubblegum chorus.

You need to listen to more Babymetal songs. xD This band and what they do with the crowd at concerts is a state of mind unattainable to any other band.

It’s ridiculous, funny, violent, banging, and scary. Love it!

I think almost every songs of their make your armpits wet! Be warned! 🤣

You HAVE to listen to back for more by txt feat Anitta btw she is Brazilian but in the song speaks a bit of spanish

Their moshpots are perfectly safe. If someone falls, pit imediatelly stop and take care of each other.

LMAO some people in the chat said F.HERO is philipino, Since i'm thai myself and i've been listening to his song since i was a kid i can confirm that he's Thai

I too would like a shirt that says "I got my ass kicked at a Baby Metal Show"

They have done some amazing Collabs including one with Bring me the Horizon called Kingslayer. Best part of being a BabyMetal fan is that their shows are so interactive that you feel like a part of the show.

I think you would also enjoy the music videos for metali and megitsune. Megitsune performances are also pretty dramatic with masks and stuff. And the music video for Headbanger illustrates the contrast so well imo i think youd get a real kick out of it, it was from when they were much younger

theres a reason they the first asian band reach rank1 in the billboard charts xD

I was at louder then life and it wasn't half as good as this. I really would have loved to be in that crowd

Papaya Salad is Thai food which is spicy food, full of flavor, spicy, sour, salty

If pa pa ya mosh pits are scary, maybe you should check out road of resistance

Welcome to Babymetal. Check out their latest that just came out!

Papaya is a smashing up of the name of the song. Fans of Baby Metal call our selves, Mosh mates (typically those outside Japan fans), Kitsunes (either Japan fans or outside Japan), All being members of The One ( the grand collective of fan base). Typical fan use the phrases "We are the One" or "Kitsune Army".

F.HERO is the great rapper and producer from Thailand 🇹🇭 na ka 😊
