I'M AN ELECTRONIC MUSIC PRODUCER AND DJ...BUT WHEN I MET BABYMETAL...IT CHANGED MY LIFE...IT'S DIFFICULT TO EXPLAIN...IT'S MAGIC

The best version of this song is probably from the Tokyo Dome show because it was performed complete with tales of the destinies. It's a truly epic performance.

California loves BABYMETAL!!!

WE ARE THE ONE!!! 😭😭😭🎶🎶🎶

Thank you for this reaction. The girls said their shows were getting so many people, they wanted to be closer to the fans. So they got to fly over them instead. 🙂 As mentioned by others, this song has been performed many times. Always only at their own shows, not festivals, etc. Because it's a tribute for the fans. The reason is probably many festival goers might not be fans yet. If you want to see a performance/prog.metal like song which shows of the band more, please react to, it has an 'intro' where they get to solo: BABYMETAL - Rondo of Nightmare Live @ Budokan Black Night (needs to be a video of 7+ minutes)

10代の、しかも日本(アジア)の女の子(一人は広島出身)が、『THE ONE 』を歌う事にメッセージ性強く投げ掛ける事になる(今では20代ですが、歌い継ぐ事に意味がある) I.D.ZもだしTHE ONE もだし、ウクライナ侵攻で世界の平和の均衡が崩れる切っ掛けに成りうるこの状況下でのBABYMETAL の楽曲には大きな意味合いがある。 BABYMETAL はシリアスから楽しい事まで全てに全力です、Awesome Reaction . Thanks from Japan.

Yea

I'm starting to think that BABYMETAL fans (myself included) enjoy seeing people cry. lol Great reaction, man. 🤘🏻🦊 Hope you do more.

🦊 🦊 🦊 🤘😁🤘 _ps... _*_Tales of Destiny_*_ is their most prog song._

I cry each time I listen to this song. lol Her voice is very special and their backing band (Kami Band) sounds amazing. Thanks for the great reaction. I too love all the LPs decorating the background wall.

excellent content Dean-Metal

This song and R.O.R usually are the ones that get people emotional. But it can happen with the guitar solos from 暁 (spoilers). But I think that some just get emotional after they've heard 4-6 songs and realize that Babymetal aren't just some flash-in-the-pan gimmick.

oh right... you reacted to the album only.... So you never saw them danced to Tales of the Destinies... Its pretty impressive, especially with the story that Su's inears weren't working in the beginning, so she literally had to Play it by ear ... Yeah, this song is pretty much a love letter to fans. 🤘🦊🤘

Mate! Crying to a Babymetal track, is almost compulsory. I’m sorry for your loss.💙 Music is about emotion. Anything that provokes an emotional response, should be applauded. I’ve never felt more included, in a fan base, than with the Babymetal community.

This song is truly special. There is something magical about the interplay between SU’s voice, the guitar melodies and the whole prog/symphonic metal structure that works very well together and it Hits me every time. Also, stunning stage setting + production. Great reaction :)

yeeees👍️I also cried. The best! BABYMETAL ❤️🤘fox 🤘

Think of the The One as Movement II of the Tales of the Destines symphony.

Great reaction. Welcome to The ONE. They bring out the feels in all of us every time. BABYMETAL FOREVER 🤘🤘🤘

wanna see the band I suggest Rondo of Nightmare with Mischief of Gods intro

dude this is my FAV Babymetal song ❤❤ its so powerful musically and lyrically

"Don't think, feel" Yeah, Su-Metal word is true, it's touching when the power of music evoke emotion in someone.

Nice reaction. One correction though. The tales of the destinies is the song that they only played once (maybe because it's so hard) The one has been played many times and is a staple of babymetals live shows since it is a love letter to their fans.

good choice,good reaction of Babymetal. We are Babymetal.

Name as many metal songs as you can that make you tear up. They're all Babymetal. Kitsune up!

I call it 'The Babymetal Effect'. That unexpected, explosion of deep emotions exposure to them brings out!! Whatever it is, it's truly special just like the band themselves. Long may they spellbind us! 💯🤟🏼🦊🦊🦊🤟🏼

Forever THE ONE ❤️🤘🦊🤘

I'm a die hard Babymetal fan. I can't even listen to anything else right now but their music. I want you to know that us fans also wish they showed the band more. In the early days they were shown more often, but as time went by it seemed they showed less and less of them. The snippets of the new songs they are releasing give me a bit of hope though because they seem to be heavier sounding than their last album, so I'm hoping it will showcase the band members again.

good reaction man , so emotional

That was a really nice reaction, thanks! This is an extremely beautiful and emotional song, dedicated to all of us, The ONE. You are right, in this music video we are not able to see the band... so another reason to pick the live performances. They actually tend to hide them a little but they also have some moments to shine. We will get there pretty soon 😊

I love to see BABYMETAL bring forth such an emotional reaction. It surprised me a little, considering that you are (I assume) not even aware of the message behind it. Because that knowledge makes it even more powerful, I think. And it’s fantastic how brilliantly this song, the performance and the editing of the video work together to capture this emotional message.

thank you for your reaction from Japan. i believe … whenever your sweet angel Natalie is on your side. forever.

The voice of Sumetal, plus the girls harmony, really hits the feels here. Even if you can't understand half of the words, the emotion portrayed is tangible See you next time. 🦊🦊💥🦊🦊

🤘🦊🤘 Together forever, we are all one.

Me to brother. They recently released a new version. Stripped down. Piano and strings. Very cool. Rock on!😊😎🤘

THE ONE:- This song was dedicated to the fans of Babymetal, referred to them as "THE ONE". As Babymetal performed all over the world, Su-Metal notice that the fans sang Babymetal songs in Japanese eventhough they don't understand Japanese. So this songs was composed specifically for the fans especially the non-Japanese speaking fans. Not every band took the time and effort to compose a song just for the fans thus making Babymetal special. THE ONE Chronology:- BABYMETAL - THE ONE Album: METAL RESISTANCE.

Naysayers of Babymetal can talk about manufactured, gimmick, whatever. What they fail to take into consideration is the single most important aspect of music. Is it good? Any song that can evoke sufficient emotion to make a grown-ass man cry can only fall into the category of good... and that trumps any other argument. You are not the first man to have Babymetal, and this song in particular, bring tears to their eyes. I'm a grown ass man. Former death row prison guard. Survived three wars and a humanitarian mission with really skinny people with AK47's trying to shoot you. I'm not an emotional lightweight yet Babymetal has been known to bring tears to my eyes. Somehow, they are able to reach some of us in that way. I have no clue how they do it, I've tried to understand it. The more I tried to understand it, the deeper into the Fox Hole I went. I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter. No father should have to experience the death of a daughter. I have two daughters and six grandkids, four of those grand daughters. I have a friend whose daughter passed from COVID last week. I can't even imagine what he, and you, have gone through because it's just too horrid a thought to consider. A series of songs you may want to check out is "The Trilogy of Light" from Babymetal's 2019 Album "Metal Galaxy." In 2018, one of their guitarists passed away from an accident (fell off of an observation platform while stargazing). The three songs, "Starlight", "Shine", and "Arcadia", are thought to be in memory of him, covering the emotions of grief. Starlight being shock and grief, Shine being sadness, and Arcadia being final acceptance and the realization life continues on. In true Babymetal fashion, it's all covered in an uplifting manner.

Excellent content Dean, thank you. This was the official video, so the audio was from the album - specifically the Japanese domestic version, so it was the half and half English/Japanese version. The international release had the full English version. They have switched it up as well, there is an "unfinished" version (basically acoustic, just vocals and piano ... it is beautiful) and in most live shows when they play it they will start with the "unfinished" version but half way through the Kami Band and Moametal will join in to finish with the full version. I expect you have already been told, but as they toured the world they realised their foreign fans must have been studying and learning Japanese to sing along with them. As a mark of their love and respect they decided they must reciprocate and return the compliment by learning a song completely in English. 'The One' is that song - it is dedicated to the fans (who they also named The One) and is effectively their love letter to the fans.

If there is emotion you need to get out BabyMetal will do it 🤘🦊❤❤❤

I have not watched this MV for a long time. It's so epic, I don't watched it very often, lol. But your reaction is great. In Japan, when we see a figure like yours, and old men including me, sympathize with each other, like 'We are getting old, aren't we?' I never insulted you, hahaha. That's right we did, if we watched this girls, right?

Now that the girls are gone, it's hard not to let the feelings flow. This song is our anthem. We were and will be The One. Good react again man. See you in the next, Kitsune 🤟🏻🦊🇯🇵🔥🔥🔥

You are not alone! When I saw the Wembley show on DVD, on the last song My Tears was flooding of happiness!

Babymetal regulars here always forget that 'Rondo of Nightmare' also is a heavily proggy song. I've recommended it before, and I'll do it again now. Find the live version from Budokan (Black Night) that includes the 'Mischief of the Metal Gods' intro, and you'll see more of the band, too.

I love them so much!

This is as magnificent a song as Seal's "Kissed By a Rose" but executed with more layers and Su-Metal's ultra clear voice. A prog masterpiece with Rush or Yes style instrumentals.

This is the magic of BabyMetal... Or the power of Fox God. Nothing left to say, only two songs and you already feel it. Hope you can come back with more of them. May the Fox God bless you 🦊🤘 -NotACult-

nice reaction❗Its great❗ Thank you‼️

Great reaction! For me, this song epitomises all that is great about BABYMETAL, and our absolutely amazing community... Whether it be individual Kitsunes, or the collective "The One". You are definitely not alone in being hit in the feels... BABYMETAL can have a tendency to elicit such emotions. If you want to Kami Band shine, then maybe check out "Rondo Of Nightmare" from the Budokan Black Night performance. Thank you for the reaction. 🦊🤘🔥❤️

You're far from the first grown man brought to tears by this powerful music. It's a great thing!

🤘🦊🤘

Su-Metal emotes really well. She started out doing Anime music around age 8, acting and music school, BabyMetal is her 4th band at age 12. She is a pro esp. for her age. She has a few more tear jerkers that hit you hard.

damn it, watched this again 6 months later and you and the girls made me cry again, thx i needed that.

Dont worry it gets me too. Im not even a fan of Babymetal but something about this song and video, its too epic and too much for my emotions.

🍅💀🍅 🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼 We Are The ONE !! !!

あなたの涙に感動しました ✨🤘🦊🤘 私達は一つになれるBABYMETALはそれを教えてくれる

Its really bit proggy song. But not most proggy. Most prog-metal Babymetal song is Tales Of Destinies. Its practically 100% pure prog-metal. And this is proggy ALOT.

This song is perfect. The guitar, choreography even the mix of Japanese and English just flow so well. The instrumental solo has always been funny to me because I picture su-metal as a mad scientist staring down with an evil plan while her two "henchmen" are smiling knowing the secret.

Thanks so much for featuring this song. It is a wonderful experience to listen to this song with new acquaintances. I can't express in words the beauty of this song, paired with Tales of Destiny, and the emotions it evokes.I also remember when TOTO and Brian Eno were great.

It was a wonderful reaction video this time as well. I could feel your love for BABYMETAL from this video.

I am a member of the One, I truly love that this song is written for there fans. I'm planning a trip to see them live in Japan can't wait.

I'm a very new bm fan and only heard this song for the first time about three days ago. I think it hit me a little bit earlier in the song than you. The song finished and my app simply continued to play whatever was next on the list. I could not pay one bit of attention to the songs that came next. And about 5 or so songs later tears were still flowing from this one. I love Su's voice even when she's just talking especially when she's speaking English. To hear her sing in English, and to hear that innocent and sweet accent through her singing just really charmed me. That's the best that I can explain it. I purposely avoided listening to that song until today. So hearing this with you was only the 2nd time hearing it. It hit me again. I'm sitting in the parking lot of my apartment typing this out. Just wanted to share my experience too. Thanks for the video. I thought the guitar was a little Steve Vai ish. Does anyone else think that?

Below is a link to an alternate version of the song, they released it last year to end the 10 yr chapter of the band. They've been teasing new music recently and you can hear it has prog elements to itkzfaq.info/get/bejne/ja6gm8mF07DOaWQ.html

The one☝️

amazing !!

This band the girls and kami have hit me like a ton of lead, wow! I cried when the interlude vocals hit like angels, which in my declining health made me feel well. Now when I’m feeling really bad their music soothes my heart and soul, truly makes me feel better! Unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be alive when the new tour comes to the USA however things go it’s nice to a part of “the one.” Thank you BabyMetal ❤

Songs are SUPPOSED to move you (sorry on your loss). "The One" is guaranteed to make me cry every time. Probably the most emotional song for fans as as others have said this is their tribute to their fans (The One refers to both the fans and BM - 'for together we are The One').. This song is usually performed at most concerts now and you see grown metal heads aroud your crying. (The Tales of Destiny is the original first part that has only been done once). I am not a fan of this video compiliation as it uses to much video from songs other than The One. It is at its most powerful when Su just stands and sings it solo with just a piano then half way through the band and Moa join her. On the band - much as fans love the Kami Band as they are known, they are simply hired backing musicans for the concerts. BM solely consists now of SU-METAL and MOAMETAL (YUIMETAL having left in 2017/18 due to undisclosed health reasons. Her third spot is now filled by a backing dancer known as an Avenger). Of course we all acknowledge just how good the Kami band guys are and many fans follow them and their own careers and they are much loved.

What makes it more emotional is that not long after Yui could no longer perform due to health issues and the trio became a duo. We miss you Yui

Don't know why, but some parts of the song remain me of Angels Have Fallen from Kansas, the album Monolith. Never the less The one is a brilliant song

I thought I was the only one that cries when listening to Babymetal?! My wife doesn’t understand it. Either you get it or you dont. ….I think the crying is due to the shear perfection of the performance

😉😉😉🤘🤘🤘

So, did you just become a Proud Uncle? Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!

Best way I can put it: Su's voice is proof that angels exist. And I don't even believe in that sort of thing 🤘

I feel you man.

My fav song man. Hit me in the feels as well

Dood, The Wake on vinyl and love the Roll the Bones flyer! Voivod the Wake is amazing.

" The One" has been performed multiple times on tours by BabyMetal. HOWEVER, this production using the flying cage was only used for 2 nights in Tokyo for the filming of their Blu-Ray release.

We are the one.

You wished they'd show the band more... IMO, the best video that showcases the band is their performance of Gimme Chocolate on the Stephen Colbert show. Sure other songs give the kami band a dedicated intro, but the Colbert Show performance features the band and the girls on a tiny stage. They're all in the shot most of the time and the all of them seem to be having so much fun! Check it out even if you don't react to it. It's a fun watch.

Beautiful melody, beautiful singing, beautiful staging, beautiful emotional tribute. As much as I love East/West Kami bands, I think seeing them in god-paint or demon masks would have killed the mood some.

If you had told me that this was Howe and Squire on guitar and bass, I would have believed it.

My reaction was the same as yours Dean, like the prolonged ending are all the preborn children wailing to the One, the individual one womb body and the one collective dismissiveness hiding behind each other, away from responsibility.

いいリアクション動画を見た・・・

Ijime dame zettai is another good song with a message

Excellent reaction. If you like emotional Babymetal, you can try Babymetal - Karate live at Budokan.

Those girls got nerves of steel floating out over the crowd like that rotating through the air has to be nerve rackimg

I think you may be mixed up a little. They've performed this live a hundred times. Tales of the destinies is the crazy prog song that they may have only performed once

The best live version of " The One" is from the Legend S Baptism XX concert. 100 times more emotional

Seeing moa cry :’(

Damn, I love Dream Theater.

The girls and the Kami Band are a perfect match. Here's a link to another song that shows how great they were/are together kzfaq.info/get/bejne/grR2nKeIr86WdnU.html

Damn, I love this song so much. I always feel I am carried into the sky with it as well. I really prefer this version for some reason. I guess it's the sense of "togetherness" that the combined English & Japanese makes me feel.

Been there, done that 😢

I just don’t understand it, but sometimes I have the same exact reaction.

Dont feel bad my man they even choked up David Heretic twice

They have played The One more than once in concert, I saw them in Orlando in 2019 and they played it...

Gradius!?

Miss Yui!

Sometimes it's nice to go in with the wrong expectation. Obviously you understand that you had it backwards but we appreciate you regardless. Spreading the gospel, spreading the gospel..

Ah, the trash bag costumes are back... "Tales of the Destinies" and "The One" were conceived together and when you hear them together you get an even greater emotional impact than with "The One" on it's own. I bought the Tokyo Dome DVD just for the live perofrmance of "Tales of the Destinies" and "The One". It's 20 mins of brilliant emotional manipulation. "The One" has a great melody and it reminds me of those epic prog rock productions of the 70s and 80s - it could be Yes and the comparison is high praise for BM's producer, Kei Kobayashi, the song writers, BM and the Kamis. Su, Moa and Yui sing it beautifully, but the English lyrics are a bit clunky, IMO, and I prefer the version you reviewed that has some Japanese. This song it a gift from BM to their fans and it has an amazing emotional impact. BM are a real contradiction. Kobayashi is famously careful not to allow any publicity with the girls outside of their BM personas, but he does try to "bridge the gap" to the fans with the flying pyramid and also with various thrust stages in other concerts. Many fans feel a deep connection with BM and its members, particularly if they have followed the group from their start with Sakura Gakuin. Kobayashi has build on the connection with lore and emotional songs and the fans have created their own sub-culture, lore and memes, involving tomatoes, Deloreans, frogs etc. However, when a fanbase identifies so strongly with a group change can be difficult and that was shown when Yui left. Many fans still miss Yui and BM have not yet replaced what she brought to the performances or moved beyond that.

The band?, the girls are the band, the musicions can be anyone of a dozen hasbeens,
