This November I'll be 68 and have been retired for 5 years. My first summer of freedom my CD player went sneakers up and all the local radio stations stinked royally. My oldest daughter showed me how to use KZfaq and they're just me too BABYMETAL. My musical soul and well-being were healed. But it did not end there. Babymetal led me to Band-Maid, Lovebites, Aldious, Mary's Blood, Doll$boxx, NEMOPHILA, Bridear, Hagane, Passcode, Hanabie, Show-ya...and many more all female, we play our own instruments, bands. I realized Rock didn't die, It got self a Visa and moved to Japan. Also from Monterey Mexico three sisters in a band called The Warning. Most super outstanding. Enjoy.

side note. the mens only fox festival, black babymetal performed for the last time and second time "sis. anger" which is about being tired of boys excuses and wanting to fight them! i find it so funny hahaha😂

Banana? lol Why not tomato or pizza, hamburger or chicken?🦊🤘🍅🍕🍔🍗 Anyway thanks for watching and sharing this, nice job spotting the girls right. Don't worry about remember everyone on this group, eventually you'll get to know some of the most beloved Kami Band members like Míkio'Fujioka (R.I.P.) or the avengers name if they got your attention. The Five Fox Festivals in 2017 were really unique series of live shows, however some controversial came up with some of the shows like the kids with grandparents only and certain issue about the tickets sales. Anyway it was a great series of shows in small stages adding a final show for everyone called Big Fox Festival, that was the last time YuiMetal performed with the group, sadly. And yea, Legend S first live concert without YuiMetal was heartbreaking but at the same time make all of us proud having such a full support from BM fans singing her part during certain songs, is a really tough concert to watch for me and many more fans when remembering those sad times, but the spectacle on that show is insane, everyone should watch it, no doubt about it. The image of the crowd you saw was during Legend Metal Galaxy Day 2 2020, and is another proof how many BM fans keep supporting the girls and this group no matter what, highly recommend Headbanger!! version on that show as well "MoaBanger" at Legend M 2019 MoaMetal 20th Birthday. Thanks for sharing this I'll go with whatever other suggest, but just in case don't miss out "Rondo Of Nightmare" with Mischiefs Of Gods Intro live at Budokan 2014 to appreciate a lot more of the Kami Band solos and "Black Babymetal" songs with only YuiMetal and MoaMetal singing, Onedari Daisakusen live at Legend 1997 is a safe option. Kitsune up and waiting for you to become part of The One once you arrive to that special song 🦊🤘🔥

Excellent reaction, thanks for doing this, I knew you would get a lot out of it and that we were in for a treat watching you. Everything I'd thought to say (and more) has already been said in the comments below. I will second all the suggested songs and performances (especially 'Megitsune' at the Red Fox Festival with the all female audience) - as Michel M said below, when asked how it differed to other shows Moa described it as like performing "in a Flower Garden" .... I guess it just smelled a lot more fragrant. 🥀🌻🥀 Looking forward to whatever BABYMETAL song you react to next ... and to properly welcoming you to The One when you're ready.🦊 Oh yeah 🍌banana 🤘

Quick note. You asked what is was like to attend the 5 Fox Festival. One of our girls mentioned performing at the Red Fox Festival (all female), was like (to paraphrase) performing in a “Flower Garden.” I of course wasn’t there, but I definitely get the analogy.

My theory is, that yui is following her career as a astronaut. Like it was said in this biography, her dream is going to space. So this could be the reason why we dont hear from her.

Thanks for the request Jake. Now on to the video.

About the 5 fox festivals, it was: All female, All males, another one with special seated area for those over 65 and under 10, only teenagers (from 14 to 20), and the last one corpse face paint mandatory :D About the avenger Riho, so she was the ace of Morning Musume, but she went on hiatus for a few years. After that, she used the time on BabyMetal to make herself visible again before launching her Solo career :) 🍌🍌

For a laugh I would recommend both the "babymetal, not a cult" and "the slightly unhelpful, but helpfull guid to babymetal" videos

Good job, thanks! "Banana", "wood" and the number 4 were the topics Su suggested to Yui and Moa to write a song during a road trip in Singapore. They finally came out with "Yon no uta" or "Song of 4" driving mad the staff ;)

Hey, great job. This video is a big beast to eat in one sitting, yet you chewed through it admirably. I hope it has given you better context, a base, from which you can enjoy Babymetal more fully. I really look forward to your future reactions.

Well done! Good job on getting their names right. You were spot on. Don't worry about remembering every thing and every name. You seemed to have gotten all the important stuff. Looking forward to you continuing your journey.

FYI, the entire Sonisphere 2014 Festival performance is here on YT if you want to check it out

New info that I dont know if anyone mentioned, one of the BabyMetal avengers, Momoko, recently joined BabyMetal as a main member! (Basically taking over Yui's spot but I don't want to say she replaced her, I don't think anyone can just replace someone else in a music group)

30:12 and yes, Legend S supposed to be the best Babymetal concert of all time for many fans too, but it became a bittersweet one because it was the first concert that missing a big piece of Babymetal and the last concert of Mikio

excellent content Touchy-Metal, Banana, the mere fact that you want to be in the "ONE" is basically the password to the free tier of the "ONE" ... btw #notacult #bestcultever and I would like to recommend "From Dusk Til Dawn" an all English little gem with an epic feel, if you use the Resource channel, it's under the name "FDTD Budokan 2021"

In the near future you will probably laugh and cry as you experience the end-of-year exams and graduation ceremony of Sakura Gakuin (SG), the school of origin, lol.

As I sit here eating a banana, I feel the urge to clarify that the Five Fox Festival was more than five shows. The Black Fox Festival (males only), Red Fox Festival (females only), and Gold Fox Festival (teenagers only) were held once each and they were all held in a venue called Akasaka BLITZ. That place is closed now, another victim of the pandemic, but it's where LOVEBITES recorded their "Daughters of the Dawn" live show. The Silver Fox Festival (elementary school children & 60+ only; I'm hoping that the thought was to have kids attend with their grandparents) and White Fox Festival (dress code of corpse paint) both had three performances each at Zepp DiverCity (where LOVEBITES recorded "Five of a Kind"), Zepp Nagoya, and Zepp Osaka Bayside. Following those shows, there were four shows called the Big Fox Festival, two in Saitama's Saitama Super Arena (SSA) and two in Osaka's Osaka-jo Hall. I don't know if any Red Fox Festival footage is out there on KZfaq outside of compilations, but if you can find it, "Megitsune" is wild. I seriously think Babymetal has the best crowds, and I'm always impressed by the all-female crowd at Red Fox and at another all-female show, Red Mass.

49:06 she's actually dressed as a character names "Elizabeth Midford" from an anime/manga called Black Butler. It was for a musical that she was in (I'm desperately looking for a way to watch it because I love both BabyMetal and Black Butler)

I answered this on a comment reply not on the main one😂 but here, I copied and pasted it😂😂😂 Yes. I was going to answer that Silver Fox was children with their grandparents. Also something he didn't touch on was BAW/The One exclusive concerts which were only for members of the online fan club Babymetal Apocalypse Web, which was later changed to The One website. These exclusive concerts were for members only. None have ever been filmed or fan cammed. Those also had men only and women only concerts called Babymetal Black Mass (men) and Red Mass (women). They stopped doing these exclusive concerts in 2017. Benefits Of The Club Exclusive access to SUPER Mosh’sh tickets for shows in Japan (these tickets offer the front area on the floor, as well as early entry). Exclusive access to the first ticket lotteries for shows in Japan (best and easiest way for a foreigner to get tickets). Exclusive Merchandise, available on the official store based in Japan, A!Smart (International shipping available). Exclusive Shows only for members in Japan. Special Events in Japan. Examples: 100 silver chosen ones and 1 golden chosen one for the SSA show in 2015, Only THE ONE Knows (2016), and Only the Five Knows (2017). No events in 2018 or 2019.

We are "THE ONE"🌏🌍🌎🤘🦊🤘

you too, and Babymetal fans are a league of gentlemen and they are called aka Fukei. there are tons kid idols and are devotedly doing best, but Amuse inc is like Harvard University for kid idols. btw Rabbit series are like kid soldier. 🐰🐰🐰

Banana. Very good. Glad you reacted to this and that you learnt so much about BABYMETAL.

Banana. I suggest 'Rondo Of Nightmare with Mischiefs of Gods intro. Kitsune dao!

8:37 I was there when she spoke Finnish, was a great experience.

If you've seen their only women's concert you know how crazy those women are.

Great fun watching it with you although ive watched it a LOT of times before . You done better picking Yui and Moa than some other reactors who still dont know who is who 🤔 Looking forward to you continuing your journey down the BabyMetal Foxhole You be Bananas 🍌 not to 🤣 😁🤘🦊🤘

Ba Na Na!!! Pa Pa Ya!!! Oh you're in The One all right :) Put your kitsunes uuuuuup!

If you want to see the each Kami band member shine moments, search these songs with "Kamiband intro" : Rondo of Nightmare Yava Awadama Fever Catch me if you can Kagerou (this one was done by 'Kamiband West' when the og Kamiband couldn't tour with BM outside JP) And 'Akatsuki', 'Amore' are those that have their solo section in middle of the song too (but only Guitars and Bass)

The Kami Band members have performed together outside of BABYMETAL a few times too. Here is one such performance at one of Takayoshi Ohmura's own shows: Video title: 大村孝佳 (Takayoshi Ohmura) - Band Solo The song title is The Hill Of Wisteria Performed by Ohmura, Mikio, BOH, and Hideki kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z6eWjauQ3cqtiHk.html They have also performed this song at some BABYMETAL concerts between songs, although it never makes it to the video releases and there are only bad fancams of it. Oh and, Banana 🦊🤘

i think Su;s relationship with Rhio in Actor school of Hiroshima has something to do with her being in BABYMETAL

the different shows you talking about were very different regarding the different crowds. the children show was older and younger so the kids more than likely had their grandparents with them. the last of these, the Big Fox Festival in Osaka was awesome. if you go on reactor resource page and find the song Megitsune at red fox festival, he has the all female crowd version. yes having all women in the crowd makes the version better to me since it proves that Babymetal has fans of male and female and of all ages.

Great reaction and if you continue your Babymetal journey you will surely be part of The One soon. Don’t worry too much about all the little details, if you watch the guide a few more times you will remember easily. Good job on getting the names right! Btw the Kami band usually gets the spotlight in a concert for some exquisite solos and never disappoint. The stage you were so impressed by was from the Legen S show (the show to celebrate Su’s 20th birthday and the first one Yui couldn’t be with them). Oh before I forget: banana 🍌🍌🍌

All good bananas know that you should watch Awadama Fever (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9OSq5WFuae8YGg.html) - pay close attention to SuMetal's face at that start of the song. Someone will fill you in on the story behind it afterwards.

Great reaction😄☺️❤️

Rondo of Nightmare. Su solo. Use the video that says it's with the mischiefs of gods intro. The intro gives all the band members a chance to shine before Sue starts the solo.

Holy BANANA, that was alot of info

It should also be noted: 2:22 the group also exists to give the girls experience in acting, singing, dancing, etc. so they can go on to be able to do more things for the talent agency. I doubt the group was ever intended to be popular or anything, just popular enough to be able to fund itself.

I commend you for paying attention to the actual lore and data of this video. Although slightly outdated, it is a great one. I appreciate you reviewing everything you learned, and enjoyed watching along with you. Everyone has their favorite kind of music/songs. Which means something has to come in as least favorite. I can understand not liking everything. Good luck falling down the fox hole, don't break any 🍌bananas🍌on your way down!

👊🏽⚡️Antonio Banana , No shout out needed. Welcome to , “ the One”..

10:10 those concerts (two days) are completely uploaded in YT, i don't know why, but they are here.

Not sure if anyone said this since you noticed the Image of Joakim Broden from Sabaton. He is actually featured on their song Oh Majinai if you haven't seen that one yet. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rbZ6rN1hsNzZlHk.html

🤘🤘🤘

My comment disappeared but banana on that

I watched the video in two parts banana good job

You really need to check out Ijime Dame Zettai from that Sonisphere show that broke them in the Western metal scene. It is the show closer and hell of a performance. Also does bot get blocked often unlike some others.

Does anybody know the name of the song at 48:24? Please and thank you ❤😊

👍 great job. Concerning the Kami Band certain LIVE song/performances showcase the Kami’s in intros to the song. Some of these are: Kagerou LIVE with Kami Band intro Catch Me If You Can LIVE with Kami Band intro Yava LIVE with Kami Band intro Awadama Fever LIVE with Kami Band intro Rondo of Nightmare (Suzuka solo) with Kami Band intro Also while these solos (below) by Suzuka do not have intros by the Kami’s they feature the band quite prominently: Amore LIVE at Wembley Arena No Rain No Rainbow LIVE at Legend S Concert Take care. Until next time.

Don't hold your breath for the return of Yui to BM. She's become a bit of a Yuinigma. The strange thing is that after leaving BM in 2017/18 she's made no public appearances and the sum of her public work for Amuse is a comment on Sakura Gakuin's 10th year anniversary, yet she's still under contract to Amuse. Amuse doesn't usually keep talent on the books if they are not active and Yui leaving BM must have caused a lot of disruption so there's definitely a special relationship between Yui and Amuse for them to stay connected.

At 30:10 the stage you really like was only part of it. The 2nd stage was a moving platform surrounded by giant Fox heads with light up eyes and breathed out cryo. Check out the epic start of this concert with "In The Name Of". The concert was the Legend S XX. Also I think you can see why us older fans really adore these girls. Why we feel so proud of them. We watched them grow up basically and either feel like proud parents or older siblings. I think you are well on your way to be part of the ONE. Taking time to care enough to watch this guide is pretty cool. 🤘🦊🤘 Also Banana :)

Looking forward to seeing the next 40+ Babymetal reactions. See you soon. Banana 🦊🦊🔥🦊🦊

The Five Fox Festival all children day I think the age limit was between 5-10 and they had to be accompanied by a grandparent The Five Fox Festival days Red was Girls only Black was boys only White was corps paint(face had to be painted white like the Kami band) Silver was the grandparent day I don't remember the last color maybe yellow like the school bus for the kids? IDK

Banana. Subbed.

No need to feel bad that at first you associated the music with Anime openings/closings, however, it is better to think of Japanese music as having certain cultural tropes and motifs as part of its general identity and the reason a lot of people associate Japanese music with anime is because that is typically where people are first exposed to Japanese style/ideas of music. Great reaction, I went back and watched all of your other Babymetal reactions so I could fully enjoy this one and I look forward to watching your journey continue, and, as a banana, I hope to see you check out some other artists from the Japanese scene (I know you have also reacted to lovebites).

38:12 of course it's not only children, it's childen and their gramps 😂 Babymetal truly got audience from all ages and gender. These festivals are: Black Fox: Only men Red Fox: Only women (This one went crazy with Megitsune (Female Fox) since it's a women empowering song, Su called the crowd 'Megitsune' during the breakdown interaction too) Gold Fox: Only teens Silver Fox: Only elementary childen and over 60 years old White Fox: Must have corpse paint make up (like Kamiband)

Banana)

🤘🦊🤘

To me they are a pop group just like you see in the mainstream but they sing and dance to metal music played by a backing band. Not my stuff.

Banana :p

I hung like a banana 🍌 🤘😎🤙

Hi! React please SKYND very interesting art performance band wrote songs about true crime! Not glorified just translate crime to the music! 😊🙏

I hate these kind of bands (whether they are good or bad) I hate them taking a young child processing it into a product then churning it out - using it up and then throwing it away. I used to work with a boy band that became big in japan (selling out stadiums) and I know that the record company took 90% of all income and the 10% the band had to share amongst themselves had to pay all tour expenses (tour busses,hotels,costumes etc). They toured for 2 years and came back with £6000 between them. All these profiles, they come out with, are either exaggerations or fabrications invented by the record company or management. They make the western recording industry look like angels in comparison.

Um, I have no idea where you get that the band is just in the background. Nothing could be further than the truth. I guess you haven't watched a lot of BM videos because their band is always prominently displayed. The band is definitely recognized the girls and production They come out and do solos. They are also featured in many songs.
