At a recent concert, the curtain opened with this song, and SU-METAL, seated on a throne decorated with countless swords, emerged from a huge doorway and began singing while seated. It is not difficult to imagine how majestic an opening that was.

I recently attended a 2-day concert in Japan. The opening song was this song that we could sing with our shoulders together and fists raised high as a pledge to be with BABYMETAL's revival 😭It was a non-stop live show until the very end!SU's voice was inspiring GREAT😁😁😁

Welcome to BabyMetal's metalverse🦊🤘🌐 Glad to see you're back with another new BM single and i hope you get better. They did it again with this epic anthem as the perfect opener for this new album, prior to this all the tracks were already teased with the full titles, can't wait for Time Wave and also Light and Darkness which was premiere during last concerts past weekend, but so far all the songs sounds really good. We got a lot of great news and announcements, more live shows coming up and probably a new BM member, most likely Momoko Okazaki will get her "metal" title.🍑❤️ SuMetal did a wonderful job with her vocal range in this one and MoaMetal too with her backing chorus. I'm getting FDTD vibes from this song and totally love it, is one of my favorites, but also I'm getting some Within Temptation vibes with the symphonic touch, another band that I love. You're gonna have to wait to see the live version is even more epic, it'll hit you in another way watching SuMetal, the girls and around 10 more "soldiers" are holding a sort of spear or trident, is like they're letting the METAL KINGDOM come.🙌 Mosh'sh pit and wall of death during BM classic songs like IDZ and RoR were really insane, also a lot of kitsune losing their shoes, towels, tickets and smartphones.😰 But at least it was fun. lol The day after album release they will livestream the show at WOWOW. They've been telling us this with this new concept album we're gonna see a BM side we've never seen before, they will carry on with the more mature sound, still there are five more songs to be released so who knows if some of those will still have the kawaii elements, meanwhile they're giving us a new BM mirror unit from another world of this metalverse performing Doki Doki Morning with them, my guess is they will do this (locally, not world tour since they're underage) to play those kawaii metal songs they don't play anymore like CMIYC, Iine! or Black Babymetal songs, so the girls can take a break in between the setlist, but like always OTFGK. Here's the lyrics translated and credits, thanks for sharing this and kitsune up.🦊🤘🔥 *METAL KINGDOM* lyrics: LYRICIST: Kitsune of Metal God ARRANGER: TatsuoMetal [Verse 1: Sumetal] We’re going through the passing times This world is crumbling We live while wandering A heart lost in darkness Hold me tight until dawn In that bright place Aim for tomorrow [Pre-Chorus: Moametal & Sumetal] Raise your hands to the lord Raise your voice to the world Raise your flag. Let’s be together... [Chorus: Sumetal] Stand up KINGDOM Unleash your FREEDOM Endless journey. Endless dream Wake up KINGDOM Get it, FREEDOM Raise the signal, go on without hesitation Trust your friend [Bridge: Sumetal] Negative words I don’t need a way back In that bright place Let’s live tomorrow [Pre-Chorus: Moametal & Sumetal] Raise your head to the lord. Raise your sword to the sky Raise your fists. Let’s be together... [Chorus: Sumetal] Stand up KINGDOM Unleash your FREEDOM Endless journey Endless dream Wake up KINGDOM Get it, FREEDOM Prove it Burn your life Believe in miracles [Verse 2: Sumetal] It’s the beginning song Deliver our voice Resonate, our voices Open up a new era Let it ring, it’s our voice Play it, our singing voice [Chorus: Sumetal] The sword of pledge Raise it up for tomorrow The unknown path Create it with those hands Stand up KINGDOM Unleash your FREEDOM Endless journey Endless dream Wake up KINGDOM Get it, FREEDOM It’s dawn, bathing in the light Cut through the darkness

I was at Makuhari and this song hits so different live. I got chills hearing Su sing it live.

As mentioned in the comments, this song has just been performed live, and it was epic . Su's vocals were already great, but they just get even more impressive with age 😁🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼

Nice one, thanks! Yes this is the concept album opener. And a crazy emotional, crazy epic show opener as well. I'm seeing them live in few months and I don't know how I'm going to manage my emotions when they open the concert with this one. Because I am totally addicted to Su-metal's singing voice and it only gets better and better. 😱 🤯 Until next time! 🤘🦊

Welcome back.🦊 Good reaction - they have opted for the big sounding, epic anthem for this - it is the first track on the album - and in the live performance they transferred that to the stage with a spectacular and theatrical opening at their shows last weekend. Your imagination is very good - are you sure you didn't see any of it with Su and Moa appearing sat in huge metal thrones made up from hundreds of arms and fists holding swords? Su has writing credits for the lyrics of 'Divine Attack' ... so far. We don't know about the rest of the album yet of course. It does sound to me like this album will be mainly highlighting Su's vocals from what I've heard so far with just 4 or 5 seconds of each song, but who knows what else might be in there.

This song gives off a deep feeling, majestic and strong charisma, reminds me of "Within Temptation - The Reckoning and Supernova" Babymetal is the best Japanese band, it's on another level and Su voice are amazing, long live Babymetal long live Queen Su...

It is HEAVY METAL when you hear it, but it is HAPPY METAL when you see them on stage. It is KAWAII that connects both 😁.

Nice reaction. When Su was still in Sakura Gakuin she stated that she wanted to be a singer song writer. She's been a singer for a while now. And now she has writing credits to her name. You could say she's well on her way to being exactly what she wants to be. I hope we get to hear more of her writing in the future. Moa too. She said she wanted to do another song about food. No surprise there. But the way she said it makes it sound as if she already had lyrics in mind. Add that up and it sounds like, yet another album is to come after this one. Now that's cool

You're right. She has contributed to Divine Attack, she's credited there, but I think this time they were involved more than ever in the development of the album. It's a very theatrical concept album and yes, this is the opening song, followed by Divine Attack indeed, given the passion of SU for theater you can see my point. 🤘🦊⚡️

Going to copy paste once again as I been watching as many reactors as I can Since this has been out 😁 Su sounds so beautiful. Like really really beautiful. It's like she is singing me a story straight into my heart. And when Moa came in with her English lines. OMG I about died and went to heaven. Absolute chills and overwhelming feelings of being proud of her. I actually got a little choked up. She needs more lines in other songs and I would really love a true duet with Su. I think she is very happy concentrating on dancing and supporting Su, but her voice is pure warmth. This song is going to be nothing short of epic LIVE. (and after seeing and hearing some of the footage from this past weekends shows it was EPIC) I see others saying it's the weakest of the 3 songs so far but I don't feel that way at all. I can see how this is a little long with some of the chants but I feel like this was done in mind to just get the crowd really involved. This song sounds amazing in my car. Those drums boom! I can also see this as an anime Music Video. Animated Su and Moa and possibly the Kami band getting suited up in Samurai armor and raising the ONE battle flag. 🤘🦊🤘

if you want a song with only Su singing check out BabyMetal - Akatsuki (unfinished version) live legend 1997 and i think there also The one unfinished

The Linkin Park album you were trying to recall is A Thousand Suns

Su has writing credits on Shingeki, but I don't think she does on any of the releases since. But that one writing credit seems to indicate she's investing in the band more. Hopefully that means they'll be sticking around a bit longer. This song is indeed an intro. It's the first song on the new concept album. And yes, their sound is definitely maturing. Glad to see your adorable face again.

Su has stated that, when she retires, she'd like to open a frog ranch.

Suzuka's voice never fails to impress.

🍅💀🍅 🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼 Babymetal Kingdom is The best Kingdom !! !! 🌸

Yeah you are right, lately they for sure look like they kinda want to take off the image of cuteness! It can be understood since the girl are adults now!

I watched this song live at the their show on Saturday! When Su- sat on the throne of the monochorme and throny spindle set, took the same colour outfits, started singing it off on sitting, and I saw it on the big screen, I thought for a second that the 'Alien Queen' was singing it, ha. It reminded me of the shuddering scene from that film I watched decades ago. I believe she has always sung standing up. She's hardly ever sung sitting down, has she? Only when she played the piano? That her is now a dignified woman. She even has dignity. Kawaii?, ha, ha. Excuse me. Well, but I was way back from the stage, so my memory may be inaccurate. I'm going to sign up for the delay viewing in February and watch the show again. To tell you the truth, I felt that Su- was still not getting used to the way she sang, and I guess she went a little out of some notes. Mr. Takano Seminar has pointed the same thing out on his YT channnel right after the shows and I agreed with it. But on the contrary, it was very raw and I felt like we stood in front of the live show, and was rather so good. It got goosebumps and cried for me, haha. Thank you from Japan!

Su and Moa are both living their dreams with Babymetal.

🤘🦊🤘

Please react more babymetal live performance 🦊🎸

BABYMETAL🔥🤘🦊🤘🔥
