This is where it all took off...imagine having a 55000 people in the crowd infront of you who basically didn't know anything about Babymetal and then winning them all over! The ladies do have some magic powers!

This was a breakthrough performance for Babymetal. They were originally scheduled to play a side stage for 3000 or so Babymetal fans. Then they were moved to the main stage in front of 55,000 fans, most of whom knew nothing about Babymetal. At the start of the set, Moa's headset didn't work and Yui had to help her start the choreography. Then during this song, Yui's skirt tore and got in her way the whole song. Through it all, the girls remained professional and relatively calm. At the end of their set, the crowd was chanting "We want more". Over the next few days, Babymetal Tshirts became the number one selling item at Sonisphere.

Listen to the crowd of people at the very end of this performance. These people really had no clue as to who or what BABYMETAL was about when they took the stage initially...but at the end, so very many were chanting "WE WANT MORE!...WE WANT MORE!.." Truly the defining moment in BABYMETAL's breakthrough from becoming being considered just a gimmick from Japan to becoming a true force of metal music to be reckoned with. Until now, my favorite performance of them for the obvious reasons.

The song is a serious one ..the song translates to no more bullying

Excellent reaction. Their first major show outside of Asia aged 16 and just turned 15, virtually unknown to the majority of the crowd ... and they owned it. Su even had the crowd singing along to Gimme Chocolate in Japanese earlier in the set. Another vote for Megitsune for your next Babymetal reaction (official video and a live performance would be great).

Im so sad when i See mikio there😭😭😭😭😭😭 r.i.p

IDZ was the song that turned me into a Kitsune. So it will always have a special place in my heart. Now, concerning Sonisphere. I did not write the following (and I wish I knew who did), but it's a great writeup on what happened here, so I'm posting it: Sonisphere, dramatized :) This was their first tour outside of Japan (if you don't count their Singapore appearance), and their first UK show. They booked a small stage but, for an unknown reason, they were moved to the main stage at the last minute. Instead of 3-5 thousand of their loyal fans they faced 50+ thousand trve metalheads. This was a crowd waiting for Ghost, Deftones, Anthrax, and Iron Maiden. 90% of them knew absolutely nothing about BM. BM released their debut album just a few months before. The above mentioned bands had several albums and decades of history behind them. They were girls between 14-16, all their songs had backing tracks, they were not singing in English (the only other metal band that could get away with it in recent history was Rammstein). The backing band was made up of session musicians. The girls were singing about chocolate, and they were playing hide and seek on the stage, literally. They had their own made up fairy tale religion about the Fox God, and their hand sign was mocking the devil's horns. They were nobodies and they didn't belong on the main stage of a metal festival. They knew it well, and they expected to get booed and bottled, which was not at all uncommon at UK festivals. There were technical problems during the soundcheck, and the atmosphere was visibly tense. There's a backstage photo of the girls before the show and their faces read "WE ARE F*CKED" And they went on the stage and Yui's hoodie got stuck in her hair, Moa's headset did not work and she missed the opening moves of the choreo. There was a close up of Yui's face on the projector screen at this moment, she saw what was happening, and for a moment her expression was like "ok, forget it, NOW we are f*cked..." Yui's skirt also started to fall apart at the last song, IDZ. So what else happened? The crowd got a taste of the band at the soundcheck and they loved it. Then there was a funny Star-Wars style video intro shown on the big screens so that everybody knew that this band is about fun. The first song started (BM Death) and 30 seconds later there were moshpits forming. In the next song, Gimme Chocco, there was a call-and-response where Su effortlessly made the crowd sing the chorus with a Japanese accent. Next came CMIYC with the solos and everybody shat themselves. Then Megitsune and IDZ. The biggest circle pits and WOD's of the festival. At the end the crowd was chanting "we want more", everybody was talking about them later as the highlight of the festival, and their T-shirts were top sellers even two days later.

Best anti-bullying song ever!

I can't imagine how freaked out they were standing backstage right before they had to walk out...being that young, just bumped up to the huge stage from the small one, speaking an entirely different language, and knowing your music is going to be pushing boundaries and not knowing how the crowd will react. That took some major guts and they did awesome. There's a fan cam compilation of this entire show, definitely worth checking out. This was the last song of their set so it's cool to see the entire thing start to finish.

Megitsune (offical) is my favorite video & song!

And the title roughly translates to "No More Bullying Forever." If you read the translation for this song, many can relate.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen , this song gets under your skin. It is so powerful and accompanied by a special depth. This energetic power is also heard similarly in Akatsuki. It gives energy for the future tasks and unites us

The crowd chanting at the end WE WANT MORE,is something they will never forget. BABYMETAL 4 LIFE.....

That drummer works for every penny

Windmill headbanging with twintails.....the Babymetal way to headbang :).

This is the video that made me a fan. I watched this video everyday for over a month after I first saw it. They are having such FUN!!! Watch Mikio at timecode 2:47; he is so overwhelmed by the crowd's response to the guitar soli, that he bursts out laughing. He always had such a great time performing with the band. F#$%, he'll be missed! Another spot that gets me is at the very end, after the girls have left the stage, you hear the crowd roar swell at 7:14. What you can't see is that this is when the Kami-band takes their bow. Let's not forget that 95% of that crowd had never heard of or seen BABYMETAL before. In 20 minutes, BABYMETAL won over a nation of metalheads.

We appreciate your sacrifice, lord knows I couldn't hold off for 2 seconds once I found BABYMETAL. As having heard every BM song, watched every BM concert there is, it's watching people experience BM for the first time that provides one of the great pleasures of being a BM fan now (I mean besides maybe a new BM song, or having an opportunity to go to a live concert :-) ) FYI: The song is an anti-bullying song (the title means something like 'bullying, no, never". This was also their first time in front of a non Asian audience. They were suppose to play a small tent for their, at that time, small fan base, but they were asked to move to the main stage with little warning to do a three song set. Their took this chance which could have been too soon, since the audience was a 'real metal' audience and not known for suffering fake metal lightly. But as you can see they won over the crowd handily. It was a major milestone of their international career.

I have never seen this one! WOW. They are so talented.The energy they must have to put on that kind of performance! Thanks for sharing!

YES! Going deeper into foxhole is fun :) Also, it's worth to remember that Su-Metal was still 16 when this was filmed. Pretty good voice, eh? Now, "Starlight" please. You'll love it. Failing that - "Megitsune" ;) Finally - your video and sound quality, while not perfect, is way better than 90% of reaction channels I've seen. Keep it up.

I Miss you Yui 😥

Thank you very much for BABYMETAL's reaction. Your pronunciation of Ijime, dame, zettai is perfect (I am Japanese).

If you want to see how Babymetal has grown, you can check something from their newest songs. For example, "Distortion" is like very, very epic story, you can easy imagine it as a movie, while "Starlight" is simply beautiful and makes us think about how they said goodbye to Yui who recently left Babymetal. :)

I liked you stayed mainly silent during this reaction. That's the way to give praise to this fabulous performance. I've seen two different reactors in the past on this song who completely forgot the camera and what they were doing! Reminds me of the effect of an exceptionally beautiful sunset.

Sometimes watching them brings tears to my eyes,they are amazing. This formula of idol,j pop,kawaii and metal should not work but it does nicely.

Excellent reaction to a masterpiece of a song. This song and this particular performance won me over and I became a kitsune. Top notch performance.

It's awesome how the UK Crowd Treated them in there First Overseas show and Welcomed them with Open arms i am sure the Girls were Est acted on the crowds reaction to them

ベイビーメタルの三人の少女は、もちろん素敵だけれど バックバンド、「神バンド」の演奏が凄いだよ！！

I was hoping you would eventually review this one 🙏👍 It's one of my personal FAVS 😋

Great reaction again Mana, they knew they needed to step up to the mark here and they put in one hell of a performance .Everyone was top notch and I have watched this over and over again and think Su puts everything she has and more into it.You think the song is coming to an end and Su puts it up a gear her voice gets more powerful and by the time it finished your jumping up and down and shouting "f**k that was awesome. I would of being jumping as high as the bloke in the Pikachu costume at Legend 1997 Makuhari Messe concert if I was there followed by an heart attack . As for me another vote for Megitsune but which concert? .

MANA , this is the song I call the Kami Band the octopus , one person eight perfect arms....

I was almost knocked out after hearing and seeing Megtsune and Karate at the end of 2016, but this song knocked me out, right after watching this video I searched and found a video translated into Portuguese, and the lyrics are really strong, so I've always been here panicking supporting BM fans

You should absolutely watch babymetal "Road of Resistance " live un Japan. The crowd is HUGE!!

Admittedly I saw Babymetal after Yui left, they were still so good though. Probably because Australia had been waiting so long to see them.

09/04/2019 babymetal live in Hardrock USA and many place until october..

The very first Scandal live clip i ever saw 10 years ago when some girls still in high school and they rocked from the beginning . @

mama watch baby ..., i'm glad that . special thanks for sharing and all ...

You make the videos worth watching...i like your style of reviewing and of course you r sooo cute!

I know I have said this before but Moa suddenly running left like a bat out of hell at 4:58 always makes me laugh it is as if she suddenly thought "Oh I am suppose to be over there now".Did not notice it first time I watched it because I was still getting my jaw off the floor.

True stars.

Beautifull...

Lol even Detective Pikachu can be seen on broad daylight. See You! - Babymetal(Original)

Bright beautiful crystal blue eyes... So pretty

Mana is the best!!

You know how you get 50,000 hardcore UK metal fans to instantly go wild over three young Japanese girls singing in their native tongue? Kami Band!

I love your reaction of babymetal.

As GREAT as the girls were, the band deserves just as much recognition!!

I love your heartful reaction of babymetal. Please more and more reaction of babymetal,I hope.

15Years old&16Years old!

Doki Doki Morning is, imo, their most entertaining song. Please react to it. They are only 12 and 10 in the video. Epically cute with a badass riff.

song is against bullying metalmana so basically it means no more bullying

verry,verry good reaction I love it

You have got to do Megitsune live probably their best song.

I like the part where they unite their Babymetal powers Sailormoon style!

And Suzuka became Queen here too

Putting aside their work as a professional group, they were only 14 years old and had very little knowledge of rock music. I want you to understand that I was suddenly thrown on the main stage of a big festival in the UK's rock powerhouse. There were no fans of them there. How intimidating and scary I was. It's scary just to think about it. However, the three of them did their best. They made it to the end.

Hi Mana, I know you have reviewed this band Band Maid before , but they are really great live. .Like Babymetal , their live stuff is best. They are cool and energetic 5 Japanese girls who ROCK ! So hang onto your seat and enjoy them live please. 1. CHOOSE ME live 2. DONT TOU TELL ME live 3. PLAY live

You its perfect mana :) I like you :3

Exactly six months ago tonight I was in a Babymetal wall of death and circle pit in Utrecht, and it was as much fun as you would expect and then a bit more on top. While we wait for you to do more Babymetal reactions, I wonder if you know the Taiwanese metal band Chthonic. They blend a number of genres and incorporate traditional instruments into their music. I think you might like them. Here's their song Broken Jade: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nst2krGBr8jaaI0.html

I hold back tears when I see Mikio

Did you see Babymetal with Rob Halford from Judas Priest or DRAGONFORCE live? Look it up.

This is our fault? Well... this is the kind of faults I like! :p

⚡ 💀 💕 / 🚫 And… that's how you win over metalheads on your first UK appearance. Sonisphere can be a really tough crowd if they don't like you. My favorite part of 'Ijime, Dame, Zettai' is still the part where Su-metal threatens to kick Yui and Moa in the head if they don't stop bullying each other. : ) Also, in this performance did you see Yui's costume start to unravel? They go at it hard. : ) There is an alternate "Nemesis" version of this song, found on limited editions of the single. It features guitars recorded by former Arch Enemy guitarist Christopher Amott

Take a look at Babymetal Death legend 1997...performance is metal as fawwwk! Or for something completely different try headbanger live night of 15 mix. Don't hear many people bring up this performance very often.

ok if you want to see a good version of this song, then the link I am sending you is it. this is from Tokyo dome black night 2016. this was two nights 55,000 people each night. this was the closing song of the first night show. dai.ly/x5jgu2b is the link. I have been a fan since 2013 when I saw the video for megitsune. been hooked ever since.

More babymetal!!!!!

キーチェンジ…どこかで聞いた覚えが…いいね🍅🍅🍅

You have to check out Megitsune! For me it's their best song!

You must reaction to kamiband, you know? The band beside baby metal. Okay i will give you know Baby Metal - Rondo of Nightmare live at budokan

またBABYMETALのリアクションしてくれないかなぁ。

I know it gets boaring when i say this but i love that song :D . Its a song against bullying and Su- said in an interview that this is the song wich it most of what BM is all about. For me it has also awesome lyrics wich are just on point. If you wana see the lyrics this should be the best site you can looking for du-metal.blogspot.com/search?q=Ijime . The lyrics you have seen for Sis. Anger are also from him and he complains about on wich words he dosn't do the correct translation cause he isn't good (and it isn't easy) in translating Japanese in English slur words and so he dosn't wana do that. But he marks everything and realy does always a realy scintific translastion, so can can read also why he translating it this way and can discuss with him about it if you think you know it better.

You pronounced that song title well for a first try. :)

Reaction babymetal - iine MV Official

please React Babymetal - Akatsuki, amd syncopation

babymetal BMC that needs to done

SONISPHERE

Mana! Please react to band maid - non fiction days please :')

Maybe people have already mentioned?(I’m new here), that Japanese females are really rocking hard these past few years. I recommend Gacharic Spin, tho it might not be metal enough for your tastes? First try Doll$Boxx, which is GS with powerhouse metal singer Fuki. How about Dragonet (last dragon banished to cry blood from the sky forever, in English she chants “dominate the ancient world war, his name is Dragonet”) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pK5kh6iqr93UnWg.html I also recommend Bridear (dear bride), especially the official live version of Scream with their new guitarist kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g92ga7V8sZ-2qY0.html

アリガトウ。

May i know the outro song? PS: great reaction BTW!!!

Hand sign is a kitsune (fox) not rock on.

いじめ 駄目！🙅🙅‍♂️👎🆖 ゼッタイ (乂Д´) (乂Д´) (乂Д´) ⁽⁽ଘ( ⚡️ )ଓ⁾⁾ 🍅🍔

日本語の字幕が欲しいです

I'm a Japanese fan of BABYMETAL. I love the style of reaction. The style of stopping the video and commenting on the way makes the song inconsistent. By all means, the same song or a new song can be used, so please upgrade to the latest reaction.

Why don’t you ever do any Iron Maiden??? Are they too old for you or just too awesome for you to handle??? Just wondering

This feels so much like K-Pop.
