If you don't know how to headbang, imagine doing a choreography for this...

They even played this live omg!!

Well, one of the musicians, Mikio (RIP Mikio), was a music teacher. Many called him Fujioka-sensei. Bassist BOH wrote about him after his death (sad part warning !): When I asked him, "Sensei, what would you do if in the future your daughter will bring a musician boyfriend?" he said "We'll go together at the studio and do a guitar battle! And then if he wins a battle of music sight reading, I'll approve him". He really said that seriously. No chance he would have won. I have a lot of memories about Fujioka Sensei. It has been a short time, but it was so rich that it's full to maximum capacity. The reason why I called him 'Sensei' wasn't just for the fact that he was a guitar teacher, but he was a walking musical theory book, and that's not an exaggeration, so deep was his knowledge of music. And then even when he was a bit annoying, when I started the sentence with "Fujioka Sensei...", the conversation that followed was always friendly.

BABYMETAL actually performed this song live once...but what is even crazier is that the girls have choreography to this song! This song was influenced by the band, Dream Theater, since Kobametal, BABYMETAL's producer, is a big Dream Theater fan. Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater said he was "BLOWN away" when he heard this song.

This song's outro is supposed to be a kind of an intro to the next song in the album. It's called The One and it is available on KZfaq.

Don't give up so soon!!! If BABYMETAL could do it, YOU could do it. Nothing is impossible!!! Let's try!!! Let's go!!! We are all looking forward to it!!!🤣🤣🤣😍😍😍

The Kami Band kicked this song's ass live, tho. The girls, too.

In the most recent interview in KADOKAWA magazine, Su and Moa talked about this song as very difficult song and practiced very hard for TOKYO DOME show. Even so, Su revealed that she lost the tune 10 seconds after the song started, so she sang without recognizing the tune during the first section of the song. But we all have never noticed that in the live show or in the video. That’s the outcome of their hard work.

DimitarK: Reacts to Tales of the Destines Me: *Аggressively waiting for the drum cover* _Love your reactions, much love from Ukraine!_

Each member of Kami Band are are master of the instruments they play , saw BabyMetal play at Tokyo Dome over 2 nights in 2016 and Tales of Destinies was played there for the only time ever live . Fucking so much heavier live i was in total aww of Kami Bands talents

In the studio: - Hi guys, lets' try this new song I've written! - What key? - Yes! - ... - ... - And...err...what time signature? - All of them! - ...

Eagerly awaiting your drum cover!

Now imagine this song WITH the choreography... They only played this song once in Tokyo Dome concert, fyi Tales of The Destinies actually a one long song together with The One, a song dedicated to their international fans so that they have english lyric in it, the piano part outro in ToTD is actually The One intro, please do check the live version for your own, it was EPIC! Thanks for the reaction, and I'm waiting for your next BabyMetal cover, keep the good work.

Just nodding your head to this requires several rehearsals, so I can't imagine the preparations that went into performing this live even just the once.

I was waiting for you to listen to this song🤘😆

A very good analyst reactor that made this song around 3 months ago called TotD an offbeat monster when he heard it. The song ends like this because it is the intro to The One, the two songs are meant to go together. It is crazily complex to play, Kami Band has dared to perform it live only once and they looked 120% concentrated all the time.

The outro is actually the intro to The ONE, these were supposed to be played together, like the Trilogy of Light (Starlight, Shine, Arkadia, indeed the outro in Starlight's MV is the intro to Shine), but yes, it's so complicated that they actually performed it live only once, at the Red Night at Tokyo Dome 2016, the choreography is pretty dope too, I guess when the lights went down between the two songs, on stage they were all like "yes, we did it!" 🤘🦊⚡

There are at least 8 different tempos in this song, there's a special kind of mindset needed for this kind of music, I come from a musical background and am able to appreciate this one. However I can understand those who are unable, it is so technical and complicated that for some it is hard to follow, and that is is completely ok. For me though, fantastic song

Awesome. Definitely view the video link provided in the earlier comments. The KAMIS are at the top of their game, & Su & the girls are wonderful. Arigatou! 🦊🤘

Excellent reaction - it looked like they caught you by surprise. Check the links that have been posted in the comments and watch the live performance at Tokyo Dome ...

Beethoven, Mozart, Bach......they would all love this song from BABYMETAL. It is complex and complicated and yet it works so well. YuiMetal and MoaMetal get a lot of singing parts in this and they all sound awesome together.

I really like your priceless, different kinds of "wtf" expressions :D. Someone on Reddit did a chart of all the time signature changes in the song a few years back. If I remember it right, it tallied up to over 20. That's some serious Dream Theater - Dance of Eternity s*it, which is probably the inspiration of the song. Only with singing and choreography. I think the song title refers to the "Moirai" of greek mythology (or "Fates" in English translation), which were the three incarnations of Destiny. Birth, Life span, Death to really oversimplify it. Su said in an interview from 2016, after the only time they performed it live in their Tokyo Dome concert, that she was afraid of performing the song and tense the whole concert because of it (TOTD was the second to last song and leads directly into The One). She felt really relieved afterwards when they played The One that it went so smoothly. You should definitely check out the live a few people already linked. One of the best parts is, in my opinion, you can see the band in the background almost the whole song, it's pretty crazy. I think the first time I could concentrate on the girls and the choreo was in my 3rd watch because of it. The Kami Band members in this performance were Mikio Fujioka and Takayoshi Ohmura on guitars, BOH on bass and Hideki Aoyama on drums. Probably (at least in my opinion) the most talented Kami Band lineup.

If you listen closely, this is not only about the music, but also the vocal harmonies between three girls, kudos for Yui and Moa they fill the song pretty well!

Love it! Lyrics starting at 4:30 "Dame ja nai, Dame ja nai? Nai, nai, nai! Muri ja nai Muri ja nai? nai nai nai! ima ja nai? Ima ja nai?" ("Isn't this wrong? Isn't this wrong? No, no, no! Isn't this impossible? Isn't this impossible? No, no, no! Isn't it NOW? Isn't it NOW?")

Yes yes I’m so happy to see your reaction to this song long time waiting but a reaction that I expected , the second part to that song is ‘ The One ‘ .🦊🤘🤘🦊 Thanks again

Nice reaction man! I love the Piano at the end. Its so calm in a way:) pls react to distortion from them :)

Their live performance of this song is incredible (Live at Tokyo Dome). As someone else already mentioned, you can see the band quite well during the song. The piano outro that links this song to The One is also something to behold. When you have 55,000 people wearing the neck brace that has a light attached to it (seems to be remote controlled as they all flash in unison) it simply breathtaking.

About time too dude. I have the full live performance of this song on my phone, if only there was a way of getting it to you.

This song live is truly impressive. And when you know it, it's even better.

How do Moa and Yui find the pocket to dance and Su the pocket to sing. And the Kami pulled it off live, incredible artists all of them. I think they wanted to show what they could do.

⚡ 💀 💕 / 🌟 🌟 🌟 I'm still blown away that they pulled this off live with only two guitarists. That's a testament to Mikio Fujioka (RIP) and Takayoshi Ohmura. Hats off to BOH on bass and to Hideki Aoyama on drums as well.

I went back and had a look at what songs you've listened to so far, and now, with the inclusion of "Tales of the Destinies", it actually seems to be a decent cross section of Babymetal's catalogue. The most glaring omissions seem to be "Road of Resistance" (unless you did that one, and it got taken down?), "Babymetal Death" and "Akatsuki". All Babymetal classics, and standard recommendations for new listeners :-)

You might have no idea how to headbang to this, but they sure knew how to dance to this.... Yes, Babymetal DANCED to this song....

No one is ever prepared for this👀⚡️🤘🏾 This song is like a Michael Jordan game . He scored 70 points not just to win the game, but to show the world he could..

You should react to "The one" that is the continuation of this song if you notice the outro of this song that was played in piano is the chorus of "The one" originally the song was an one song but they decided to cut it into 2 songs due to the longness of it. The one is a song dedicated to BABYMETAL's fans and that is how we call ourselves, the ones.

I remember seeing comments of people asking for a cover of this song. Good luck with that if you try. Also, when you were at a loss for words I just wanted to childishly say 'haha, that's what you get for saying you weren't impressed during the last reaction video.' But now it will be even harder.

2:48 it's funny how things sometimes connect back... Babymetal co-headlined a tour in 2023 with Dethklok, opening 'band' Jason Richardson. 🙂

One of my favorite tracks, and one that is perfect to play for people who think they have Babymetal figured out :-)

Dimitar : Is that Ring of Saturns? Me : YES! but in cute way LOL

This song has been performed only once live probably because of the difficulty. Hey you are a really talented Dummer i think that if you where to do a cover on this song it would be awesome

I hope James Labrie can dance on the next tour😁🤘

Wow!!! Great song!!! Great reaction!!!👻🤘❤️🦊🦊🦊❤️🤘👻

I am intensely eager to see your drumming on this song!

Now imagine them playing this live. Also please react to the new SOAD songs. 💙

Nice reaction!! BM is better live than the CD, and the same is true about this song. A couple of comments have been raised in the comments,I highly recommend watching the live video. Perfect playing, perfect SU singing, perfect YUI & MOA screaming, perfect dancing to the sound. It was astounding. However, there was 小神さま(kogami sama) at this time, but he is gone now...I fear that it will never be played again. And I'll tell you what's important. The MOA says "ban ban ban" when the sound is interrupted and the next sound comes on. You don't want to miss it!(Take a look at the vk com video linked in the other comments) "Tales of The Destinies" is paired with "THE ONE". The order is "Tales of The Destinies" → "The ONE". The piano solo at the end of TOTD is the link to the next song (THE ONE). I hope you continue to enjoy your BABYMETAL. Put your Kitsune🦊 up! from Japan. (Translation by DeepL)

"Is that Rings of Saturn?" I feel ya my guy🤣

Great reaction, thanks! Yep, this is totally mental. To be honest, it took me a lot of time to get used to (believe, more than "iine") but then I watched the only live performance, followed by "The One" and all made sense. Alright, it's different, but being different is BABYMETAL's business so...

Well, one of the guitar players for this song (Fuji-kun) was a big Rammstein-Korn fan and he was a sensei also so people called him sensei. And once he came to the old temple in the mountains where a sensei Yamazuki was sittin and he told him- sensei im sensei tell me like sensei to sensei..but he wasnt able to finish cause sensei Yamazuki told him to prepare for a guitar battle of senseis. So it began and the riffs of linkin park smash mouth and blink182 was tearin the air apart and the lighting stroke twice and the deep voice said- dont believe sht from cmments

Drum cover, drum cover, drum cover hahahaha Great reaction. They've played this live just once, so yeah, it's pretty hard

Ahhh...I'm late! (I say this a lot...) Fekking awesome stuff once again! To answer your questions of "what is going on?", and the general question of "how many time signature changes occur in this song?", the answer is.... Only The Fox God Knows ....yes. Lol! The live of this that people have left the links for in the comments is an epic performance! But, I request a reaction to The One before the spoiler of watching the live. This is one of the few where the official MV is generally prefered, so please do look it up and check it out! Kitsune dao! \m/

Piano ending !!! 👌🏻 🎹 🎼🎵🎶🎵🎼

Check out BabyMetals hardest song, most fun song, 3 guitar solos, Drum solo, Monster riffs "Catch Me If You Can" live at Black Night Legend Doomsday show So Metal, So Cute!!! Headbanging with a Smile!!!!!!

Moa said on the recent interview that she tried to dance to this song after 4 years of the first time they performed this live, she laugh cause there's so many moves that she can't even remember🤣🤣🤣 well i believe she could do it again if she does the rehearsal properly, but there's so many new song comes and she need to learn new choreography for each song....

Kinda funny cause they did work with dragon force writing some music. Herman Li speaks rather fondly about working with them.

Glad you finally checked it out take the time to watch the tokyo dome performance linked below . It is a master piece in production

If they told me that John Petrucci, Mike Portnoy, Jordan Rudess and John Myung had been the studio musicians for this, I wouldn't have any reason to doubt it. :-) Didn't hear James LaBrie, though.

Can't wait for you to cover this.

The outro of this song is the intro of the one.

nice reaction thanks!

So many cool parts are actually homages to the great bands of prog rock! This is what is SO great about some of the babymetal stuff. Like Babymetal death borrowing One from Metallica. Catch me if you can borrows SIC by Slipknot . . .This song has keyboard lines from ELP, Yes: the breakup strains in transitions before the main chorus are from Jacobs Ladder of Rush permanent waves, and notice the final swell in the piano outro to "The One" is the opening guitar swell from Roundabout by Yes. . . .Really fun piece of music. Thank you Babymetal and Kami-Band! Imagine if you had software that would rearrange music inputted. . . your put all the great prog Rock you like in a blender. . . .pulse and blend. . . you get this nice 3min smoothie! lol

this song is a kind of hommage to Dream Theater, which is so popular among japanese metalheads. some transitions obviously derive from their 2nd album and Octavarium.

very dream theater this song

Hmm , you must check the live version at Tokyo Dome , it's amazing 😂 . Tales of Destenies + The One , beautiful outro . Good reaction 🤘

you right❣️ YES❣️ YES❣️ YES❣️

This song is a prologue to THE ONE. Originally, it was one song that was associated with THE ONE.

This song was all over the place but in a good way I guess. Not a huge fan of this song since they have too many drastic changes but I enjoy it. The girls and the kami band must've been exhausted to perform this song live even if it was only once. Can you imagine trying to remember your next move while singing this song live? Its insane.

This song is amazing mate, the last part is just an intro for the next song called the one, you need to react to that song, and ofcourse "the triligy of light" that is made.of three songs, starlight, shine and arkadia, u will be amazed, a bif hug from Chile, i will support your Channel from now! you win a new subscriber when u start to react to babymetal videos and songs hahaha

I’m late to the party, but I’d like to request: compare the album version to live, and explain what they did to make it playable.

This is beyond a doubt an homage to Dream Theater, and as a huge DT fan I really enjoyed it. From the Petrucci-esque guitar runs to the nod to Rudess' ragtime breakdown in Dance of Eternity. :)

🍅🍅🍅 🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼 drum cover??? DA ! ! !

I love Rings of Saturn 😌😏🤘

Should have done the live version my man but still awesome... Do Awadama fever next!!

ありがとう！

When you react to Arkadia? This is an amazing song and I hope you like. Arkadia is a song from the most recent album called 'Metal Galaxy' and is my favorite from the album and the favorite of many more people. Pdt 1: The reaction to Sis anger I really really liked, thank so much, one more time Pdt 2: I really sorry, my english is not very good, I'm still learning Pdt 3: Why you don't do a cover of this song? It would be fun :D

I count 28 time changes in this song. In addition to Dream Theater, I also hear a lot of Rush, Mr. Bungle and a little Faith No More at the end.

u should listen to kagerou live, kami band are SO good there

Next Band-Maid - Freedom, Domination or Real Existence live !

Tokyo Dome Red Night - 1:08:14 - It's worth the purchase just to see this performed live with choreography, full stage production etc.

This song belongs to the second album Metal resistance

come on, you can make it XD we want a cover of this :D :D :D

I still want to see you take a crack at covering Road of Resistance. It's crazy fast like this, but the song makes sense and doesn't suddenly completely switch up everything on the drop of a dime. It's not one of my absolute favorite songs of theirs, but its still very very good (written with Dragonforce's help) and the drummer goes God Mode. Anyway, fun reaction as always.

you can do it bro

Arkadia by babymetal

Famously noted by Mike Portnoy as one of the most difficult songs he's ever learned.

Now cover this haha This song has only been performed live once if I'm not wrong. Apparently it has 40 changes in time signature.

Yes this song is complete mental. Think we need to go back to the fun Babymetal. Pa Pa Ya! Gets my vote. Waite have we done Megitsune? I'm so lost at what songs you've done. Lol

Nice react man, I hope u can react to babymetal death, that's one of their heaviest songs, and of course you will know when to headbang

Nice reaction video thank you next try arkadia song request please

Damn I forgot you haven't done It before!!

Always love your reactions and drum covers! Super talented!!! This song gets mixed reactions because it’s so intricate. I just love hearing all the different sounds Babymetal musically does! You probably have a long list of songs the one have been requesting but try this one! Kagerou with band intro. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fbqFgtx_rdbaio0.html

Come on give us the cover of this, you can do it by parts and cut/paste them together :D

Everyone who listens to this song, including you, seems to have a lot of fun. I am also enjoying it. Including your reaction. 最高のreactionでした。ありがとうございました。(*´▽｀*)

This song played by KAMI-BAND at Tokyo Dome 2016

Technically schooled showcase the dam thing beautifully composed KOBA

Koba loves dream theater...thats what's going on lol

Here is a link to the music sheet for this song: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jcmZlthn1J7Qook.html Now you can do a drum cover :D!

it gets better if you listen to The One after Tales of The Destinies

I'm really enjoying your Babymetal reactions one by one. I prefer when you comment over the music rather than pause, unless you need to say a lot. Also I suggest not playing background (non BM) music when you do pause, it's distracting to say the least. Hope you don't mind the feedback, overall great reaction 🔥🦊🔥👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

ELP, Yes and King Crimson are jealous as Hell they didn't think of doing this first.

Since everyone has said what i wanted to say, i wanna suggest a new video. Its about the kami band! An instrumental solo from the kami band without the mask! Hills of Wisteria. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z6eWjauQ3cqtiHk.html
