Quick question for anyone here: Why does everyone call it the Fox Hole?

I would just like to point out that cute girls trying to act tough are the ones dressed in leathers with tats and piercings, these girls don't pretend to be anything other than what they are which is refreshing tbh, they have succeeded in a male dominated world, not because people made allowances for them they worked hard to build a fan base, they never compromised and felt they had to copy what the men were doing or sexualize themselves they just got out there and did their own thing which is cute metal, and its damned good. It's ok to feel confused when experiencing something new for the first time, I hope you check out some more of their music, you might find you start to like it, or you can go back to the same old same old that hasn't changed in over two decades 🦊🤘

Welcome to stage 1 of your inevitable conversion (one of us one of us echoes quietly in the background)

The song is about a young gurl that just became 15, going anywhere her favorite rock band has the live show.

This song is about a 15 year old girl going to her first concert. Yes its a gong at the end. Recently they used a gong bigger than her. Babymetal just sit back and let them make you feel.... Happy!!! It's what they do best.

"With the legendary long black hair gorgeously disordered, this crazy blooming flower will soon disappear. Now the time has come. I no longer hesitate. I tightly hold my discount railway tickets. To the east, to the west, to the south, to the north. Today I rush to be right in front of center stage. On the left side, on the right side, standing up straight, leaning back, jumping toward the stage, leaning over the fence, rolling over the crowd, and then all deeply headbanging.This special night of my fifteen I'll never forget. All the crybabies, get out of here! It'll never come again and it goes by so fast. I etch in my heart this special night of my fifteen." Hi LGSkipper! Good reaction! Welcome to the wonderful world of BABYMETAL! They are indeed Japanese so good ear there, and they blend metal music with J-pop vocals. The song "Headbanger!" is about a girl going to her first concert on her 15th birthday. It's quite natural to be confused and not quite sure about them on first listen. I myself dismissed them as a gimmick when I heard them for the first time and didn't rediscover them until 2 years later. They have since become my favorite band. I would recommend listening to more as they mix a lot of not only metal genres, but all kinds of music genres, into their songs to the point where almost every one is completely different. You could sit 10 BABYMETAL fans down and have them rank their favorite songs and each one would likely give you completely different and in some cases completely opposite results.

You were smiling through the entire video and said several times that you enjoyed it, so it DOES work for you. You just need to admit that to yourself. 🤣🤣 I totally understand what you are saying though. It is a weird thing to process. When first heard, It's not uncommon for people to like the music but think the vocals are just kids squeaking. If you listen to more songs you will realize that the lead singer, Su-Metal, is an extremely talented singer and the other girls as well in their roles.

Usually after three songs you are hooked. Yes there are mosh pits at their concerts. Their crowd control is amazing. The are a joy to watch and listen too. Giving up after one song even though you headbanged and smiled the whole time is your loss. There are so many things to appreciate with BABYMETAL. The girls talent and cuteness. All grew up to be beautiful women. They been doing this for 10 years now. The Kami Band is godly. BABYMETAL is brilliant with their build ups and drops and change of pace during songs. They are more than music. They are a theatrical experience. Also the song was about a 15 year old girl going to her first metal concert.

LGSkipper: "I wonder if there's any moshpits?" Su-Metal: "show me big circle" There is every type of moshpit that you can imagine. You say that it is not for you, yet that big smile on your face betrays... 🦊🤘

Although BabyMetal is not for everyone, in early 2020 BabyMetal was officially named the 10th greatest metal band of all time. So that definitely makes a statement to those who don't see how innovative and influential this band is and has been. They've toured with Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers and so on. appeared before tens of thousands of strangers and devoted fans alike.

- First of all, welcome to the wonderful world of BABYMETAL! - BABYMETAL is different than anything you’ll hear. You can’t really get a feel for what they are until you hear a few songs, because all their songs are very different from each other. They have 40+ songs and they hit so many different genres and styles. - BABYMETAL started in 2010 as a sub-unit of a J-Pop group called “Sakura Gakuin”. The three girls are the lead vocalist, Su-Metal (born 12/20/1997), and the two “scream and dance” members, Yuimetal (born 6/20/1999) and Moametal (born 7/4/1999). They’ve gone on several world tours and have sold out some really big venues. - This show was in 2013 in Makuhari Messe, and had about 8,000-9000 fans in attendance. This is quite small compared to some of the shows they do now, but this was also before they had even released their first album, so not too bad. This show was called “Legend 1997” as it was meant to honor Su’s 16th birthday. - “Headbanger” is the first song of what fans have coined the “Trilogy of Death”. These three songs together tell a story and I don’t really wanna say more than that other than that the last song is gonna shock you lol. Here is a link to the other two songs: kzfaq.info/sun/PLgTCT7PubgAHBIRR5NEnwQB1DK1COsH3N

The best advice I can get you is not to make up your mind too quickly with this band. I did not enjoy the first two songs I heard of Babymetal, but then I heard two more which I absolutely loved and I was sold. They cover so many different genres and are one of the few bands where 10 different fans will have 8 different favourite songs. Loved your reaction though and will keep an eye on your channel for more Babymetal reactions. I am 48 years old and have been to many concerts, but nothing compares to a Babymetal crowd. The energy is insane.

Babymetal immediately exert their super power over you and a confused smile spreads across your face. The combination of youth and cuteness with the confidence and ability to control a stadium crowd is what makes Babymetal special. Their big concerts are full on theatrical productions with Yui and Moa conducting the crowd interactions. From your reaction they took you on a real ride. You might not know what to think, but don't worry too much, just go with it and enjoy the ride. That's how it starts for everyone #notacult. There are also puns and messages in the songs built around the lore created by producer Kobametal and then amplified back by the fans themselves during the concerts and in social media. Interpreting the connections to pop and Japanese culture is a nerd's dream...so with that in mind: The concert is Legend 1997 and is a celebration of the lead singer Su-metal as she was born in 1997. This song is a bittersweet coming of age story about a 15 year old school girl going to a concert and braving the mosh pit, while knowing the freedom of the moment won't last long. It's used to celebrate BM birthdays and both Yui and Moa have taken the lead in it for their birthdays. The song probably resonated with Su because this concert was the day after Su's 16th birthday and she had also recently graduated from high school and the idol group "Sakura Gakuin", Yui and Moa were both still members, and started working full time with Babymetal. I think of it as a companion piece with "Babymetal DEATH" in the same concert as that's about transition too. I think you will like this performance of "Road of Resistance" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sLp1jLh3zLLalY0.html

For their 15 th birthday, Su let Yui and Moa take the microphone to sing this song, and she took her place as a back off dancer. They started again for Moa's 20 th birthday (unfortunately, Yui had already left Babymetal before her 20 th birthday).

OMG, the Fox Hole Is where every BABYMETAL fan ends up! It’s very deep and once you enter you will never leave!

Don't worry... First time is ALWAYS a shock, our brains just can't process the sheer awesomeness of what's happening on that stage. Since you are from the UK (BABYMETAL's second home), you should check their shows at Sonisphere or Downoad festivals (IDZ @ Sonisphere 2014, Karate @ Download 2016 or Distortion @ Download 2018 are good choices). They also headlined and sold out Wembley Arena and did a 4-show tour through the UK last year just before COVID. First time - Shock Second time - Realization of the talent and level on that stage Third time - Adoration

Oh, it fits.

Most people are in the "I don't know what to make of them" when they first experience Babymetal.... Songs like Rondo of Nightmare with Mischief of Gods intro, Akatsuki might be more up your alley. They are more traditional metal/rock background and you get to see more of the band on display..... But best to checkout their live performances, since that is what they are famous for. the lead singer actually sounds alot better live.... Check out Sonisphere 2014 IDZ, that's their breakout concert at a foreign metal festival.... Most of those people were a lot like you seeing them for the first time, but by the end of their performance, the crowd was chanting for more....Another performance is Download 2016 for their song Karate..... Some other of their epic performances is Road of Resistance live in Tokyo, Death Legend 1997 (that's the year of the lead singers birth, and the concert is sort of a bday party for her, do read the translation of the Japanese intro that's found in the description if you plan on reacting to Death)..... Yeah, they fuse Japanese pop with every genre of metal you can think of .... The most innovative metal group around.

You can tell he wants to gatekeep so bad.......

Another young dude who thinks metal has always been grunting and growling for vocals. In 1971 I bought an album by a band called Black Sabbath, lead SINGER by the name of Ozzy Osborne. Hey you know what.........he actually sang lyrics! Old metalheads like me can only take so much grunting and growling. Best thing to happen to metal since JP.........that's Judas Priest by the way.

Ijime, Dame, Zettai 2014 and Road of Resistance Live in Japan, among others, have nice mosh pits.

You gotta check out Road of Resistance (Live in Japan) and Rondo of Nightmare (with Mischiefs of God intro). As mentioned in previous comments you'll be hard pressed to finf 2 songs the same!

Good reaction and welcome to the BABYMETAL Galaxy. "It doesn't fit" ... that is because the box you're trying to fit it into is too small and restrictive. Another two or three songs and I reckon you'll find that box of yours is expanding. BABYMETAL tore up all the old 'trve metal' rule books, they wrote their own rules .... and then they tore those up as well, they just do what the hell they want and what feels right at the time - they're too metal to play by any rules even though they're not trying or claiming to be metal. To quote one of their songs: "This ain't heavy metal. Welcome to the world of BABYMETAL." Just go into their songs and watch their performances with an open mind, you'll get it eventually "Don't think. Feel."

The puppet dance and collapse at the end is generally agreed by fans is a reference to drummer Yoshiki of X-Japan where he tends to over exert himself during live performances and collapse while holding on to drum kits. Also same with the gong. BM has made a lot of reference to them.

Great reaction bro, exactly as must of ours listening them for the first time, like "what's going on?". Be prepared, a lot of BM fans (aka The One) will visit and comment your video with tons of information about them. Also if you want to watch some circle pits you should react to Road of Resistance Live in Japan, must of youtubers start with that song as a first reaction, and yeah it is a good way to watch an awesome performance of the full band and girls.

Hint quit trying to analyze and as Su (lead singer), said just feel. This band is a force live and the band brings it. Funny as a old 53 year old metal head it always amazes me how many of my fellows are closed to something “different”. In a musical style that has more genres then I have hair in my beard, people say it just does not seem right. 10 years in, sold out shows worldwide, playing with top bands and winning loads of rewards seems to say it does work.

I see where this is going and I’m not sure what to say 🤣🤣🤣

I love these guys so much, I could talk about Babymetal for hours. Each of their songs are wildly different as well, especially the most recent ones. Yes it's Japanese and yes there are most pits. The 'cutesy' vibe is intentional haha

"Don't think, feel" -Sumetal

The song is about a 15 yo girl getting ready to go to her first Metal Music concert. Not only are they Japanese, they are the most famous and popular Japanese band in the world. They were the first Japanese band to play Wembley Arena, a sellout, where they broke all records for band merchandise sold. They're superbly talented, very professional and their charisma is off the charts. They are 16 and 15 yo and have been performing professionally on stage since they were 6 yo. Oh and they are trained actors. 2 other Japanese bands for you to check are Band Maid and Lovebites. Both have toured the UK.

the thing about Babymetal is each song is different from the last.

Resisting is useless! Welcome to BABYMETAL Galaxy! Give up and enjoy! Metal Heads also deserve to be happy! 🤘🦊🤘

The first contact. So much fun seeing this happen, enjoyed reaction.

Most people need a few videos to get into Babymetal. You'll get there...

"I'll pretty much react to everything {Babymetal}". So what are you doing for the next year or two??

I love the comment "I've heard better guitarists". Dude Mikio Fujoka, Leda Cygnus and Boh at this concert are some of the best guitarists in Japan and probably 10th in the world. This was in December 2013 the day after the lead singers 16th birthday. Of cause you're confused every Babymetal virgin is, that's the whole point of something new which is now 10 years old and still going strong, so 50+ songs, 3 albums and alot to watch and listen to.

Welcome to the foxhole once in you don’t leave.

Hello from America. BABYMETAL incorporates all metal genres from speed to death metal.

Bewilderment is the spice of life. Here's the thing: you never stopped smiling and that is Babymetal. Joy!

Welcome to the deep Foxhole bro, Kitsune up \^^/

Check out BabyMetal Ijime dame Zettai live at Sonisphere 2014 official. Their first western festival and the start of world domination 🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻 BabyMetal is happy metal Your confused because your brain is trying to rewrite the circuits.. you’ll get It after a couple of more songs lol

Try their song Rondo of Nightmare with the Mischiefs of god intro. You won’t regret it. You’ll see how world class the musicians and the lead singer are.

it's in the language of that cartoon poster you have behind you, My Hero Academia :p and yeah, it just doesn't seem to fit, but it does (and so well). Babymetal just blow off boxes people make about and try to contain metal in. Take your time with Babymetal, but imho, worth getting to know ;)

Lots of people don't know what to think of babymetal the first time they hear them but I feel like babymetal is basically powermetal, but since the singers are young girls and that's a rare sight that's what makes people think it's weird. However, I think that Su has very powerful and controled vocals as well as a wide range which suits the music.

"I wonder if there's any mosh pits?" Stay tuned

They are Japanese, yes. Mosh pits, oh my yes. This song is about a 15 year old girl going to her first metal concert, and how she wants to cherish the experience because it will never come again. Your reaction is pretty typical for people who have never seen or heard them before, and the girls themselves realize the general reaction is WTF. I wish you'd check out at least one more before you dismiss them, either Rondo of Nightmare - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/br1yd8x9srS-k3k.html or Akatsuki - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nZhjapV0mraufIE.html

This should not work (CUTE= KAWAII+METAL= BABYMETAL ) but it does nicely. Welcome to the journey that is BABYMETAL, ENJOY THE RIDE..... If you ever get a chance to see them live ( DO IT ) you wont be sorry!!!!! The 'ki-e-ro' ( MEANING= DISAPPEAR )crowd chant moment at 6:52 mark of your video still gives me goosebumps every time I watch this video, Made all the more effective as the instruments all come back in. When they played this song at the FORUM in LOS ANGELES 10-11-2019 we went crazy.....And we hit the' ki-e-ro' chant right on que and our queen was smiling with approval. SEE YU..

Nice. Everyone goes through a bit of a WTF moment when they first hear Babymetal, if you continue seeing Babymetal, and you should, you'll come to realize the maidens should not be underestimated (you'll get that eventually ;)). To answer some of the things you brought up which I can remember... - Babymetal doesn't refer to the age of the girls but, rather, to the fact that they pioneered a new genre of metal. - Headbanger is about a 15 yo girl's first heavy metal concert and her experience falling in love with the music. 15 because it's an important age in Japanese culture. - What should you react to next? Road of Resistance...use this version - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ebFih7l1leDPhZs.html - it's longer than the one people usually watch but it has an overlay which should get you past YT blocks. IMPORTANT...the non-overlay copy is linked in the video description. You watch that and then use the overlay version for your video. - You mentioned liking the drums and guitar...once you've heard enough Babymetal, you'll realize that the true treasure is the voice of Su-metal (the lead singer).

All I want to say is that for 30 years only one band was the best for me. Now there are two of them and Babymetal is in the first place, and even more. I never stop loving what I loved, it's just that there is much more metal in my life now. So the main thing is not to put walls in front of you, do not be afraid to accept new things and do not be afraid to betray what you love. Babymetal will just give you even more.

"Rondo of Nightmare" is a must. You NEED to learn about the Kami Band. Make sure it's the live performance with the Introduction "Mischiefs of Metal Gods." It'll melt your face and give you an appreciation of what exactly is going on here. The whole band is just amazingly talented. And BOH is a BEAST on the bass. I'm a recent convert. But don't let the fan base (The One) fool you. They ARE a cult!!!!!! #NotACult I'm here willingly. I am. In the Foxhole.

"I wonder if there's any mosh pits"... Man I nearly pissed myself laughing... Check out their live song "Road to resistance" to see a Babymetal mosh pit.

The smile says it all

No you don't no were the name Babymetal came from, so hear is why thay are called Babymetal. They have got there own gender of METAL music it is called “kawaii metal” translated "cutemetal" and baby's are cute so yes that is part of it, the other reason they picked this name is that to right it in Japanese righting the word BABYMETAL * ベビーメタル * is very nealy the same as the word HEAVYMETAL * ヘビーメタル * so you can see beter, HEAVYMETAL * ヘビーメタル * BABYMETAL * ベビーメタル * as you can see they are exactly the same apart from the two little lines above the first character in the word "BABYMETAL", so put the two of these things together and they ended up as BABYMETAL and they are very much aware that when people see the name they are not shore what to think and maybe expecting baby's playing metal music they find this very funny. As for this not being for you hearing Babymetal for the first time "now were have we hered that befor HO yes just about every reaction vid" but if you react to more of there music you will find something you like they are different with all there songs expect the unexpected with them, try * Rondo of Nightmare Live @ Budokan Black Night * you liked the music let the band show you what they can do.🤘🦊🤘 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/br1yd8x9srS-k3k.html

Babymetal is all about contrasts...

I suggest that you next react to "BABYMETAL - Rondo of Nightmare Live @ Budokan Black Night" ....The intro has the band members doing solos, no overly cutesy vocals since it is just the lead singer singing by herself, and its a little darker tone. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/br1yd8x9srS-k3k.html

You said: Babymetal is not for you. however, your body language says otherwise. That's how it was for each of us once. Three young girls just can't lead a metal band. Let's wait for one or two more reactions;)

That you gave it a fair shake is all we ask. But even if you don't put them on a play list, so many of their songs are worth a watch. (Not a listen. A watch. The production is part of the package.) Catch Me If You Can and Rondo of Nightmare are great performances. But the best as far as spectacle might be Road of Resistance Live in Japan.

A $10,000, 48" Zidjian Gong. You have to get into the lore to understand. Too late to turn back now. If I had a dollar for everybody who said, "not for me," then showed up the next week with all the CDs and a BabyMetal t-shirt, I would be incredibly wealthy.

BTW, the giant statue in the background is an homage to Metallica's "...And Justice For All" which will make more sense if you watch this same concert's closing song KZfaq video titled "BABYMETAL DEATH Legend 1997 (Complete)" (if you do watch that video, PLEASE read first the translation of the intro animation that should be in the description box of that KZfaq video so that it all makes sense!!), and the gong is an homage to Japanese metal band, X Japan.

Judging by your anime poster, you're right on track for more xD The first song is always a whole journey on itself, but in fact it's just the first step ;)

The band is incredible, every one of them are top notch musicians.

BabyMetal is know for their mosh pits. Just search youtube for BabyMetal mosh pits. theres a few compilation videos on them. If you watch any of their live shows, small or large venues, you will see one in most of them.

BABYMETAL is life. Su is my queen.

BABYMETAL are certainly not after everyone's taste, unique things rarely are. To me they are the epitome of entertainment, a treat for all senses, and my biggest source of fun. But I'm fine if you don't fall in love with them, as long as you recognize the talent and hard work. I will say though that, watching you, I wasn't 100% sure whether you were even telling the truth when you said they are not for you. I got the impression that you liked it more than you want to admit. I don't know your background, but especially for metalheads, that's not that unusual. They are often afraid to get a dent in their coolness when they enjoy little girls spreading good mood through Metal. If so, you should open up to it, it could be very rewarding!

" is it called a gong , the big thing" Bless him

I'm 67 and saw them by accident (yes really) live in 2014, I never looked back. This is a very special band. Seen them a few times since and they just blow me away every time. In Japan they're Huuuuge, they performed as headliners to 110,000 fans in just 2 days.

Quit blurrmurring and get in the Foxhole. By this time next year you will own a set of BABYMETAL Funko Pops and know the words to all 3 albums. I'll sub to watch you tumble in. Kitsune Dao!

totally honest reaction, my favorite kind, thanks.

As others have said, the song is about a 15 year old girl going to her first metal concert, but it's more than that. The song goes into details on her feelings more then the events, and comes around to her reflecting on how this concert is a once in a lifetime experience and needs to be remembered, but then that expands to how it relates to how all experiences are unique.

"i dunno" u know nothing, just headbang n enjoy 🤣

You poor poor boy...i remember when i was like you. When i first heard Babymetal. I'm a metalhead...."only the heaviest will do for me" I told myself. When i first watched Babymetal I felt the same...."the drums are good, the guitars are good...but this cutesy style of singing and dancing....it will never work" I said. But then curiosity got the better of me....curiosity killed the cat, so they say. I listened to one more song....and then one more...and then one more....thus began my slippery decent into the foxhole. Now I cant get enough. If you ever feel the itch to check another song of theirs out, I suggest either one of the following: 'Road of Resistance', 'BxMxC', 'Syncopation', 'Megitsune', 'Sis Anger'. If you listen to these songs and still haven't converted...then you have done what many could not. God bless bro! Keep up the good videos ;)

A good first reaction. Don't worry about being confused. For the vast majority of people, the first time they hear a BABYMETAL song is a bit of a confusing experience. It takes most people three or four of their songs before it really clicks with them. Personally, I completely blew them off after the first song that I heard, and it wasn't until a year or two later that I listened to them again and became a permanent fan.

MUAHAHAHAHAHA! You’re clever to be wary, because it’s a slippery slope to the bottom of the Fox Hole 😈 But come down all the same, we’ve got Chocolate 🍫 🦊 Glad you liked it!!

Hello. Good reaction. Welcome to the BabyMetal universe. Don't worry if you don't know what to think ... that's the first reaction we all have when we discover them ... "But what the hell did I just see?" The name BabyMetal refers to the birth of a new genre of Metal that they created known as Kawaii Metal (Cute Metal) and consisting of mixing any type of Metal with JPop. In fact, on their third album they have gone further and basically merge Metal with any musical genre (Hip Hop, Indian Music, Russian Folk, American Pop, etc). If you are curious to continue discovering this group, you can do so through songs like "Road of Resistance", "Megitsune", "Rondo of Nightmare (with the band's intro)" or "BxMxC". Be that as it may, if you decide to enter the hole there you will find us.

I would suggest BxMxC next. It’ll give you an idea of what they are up to now. Then I’d do Road of Resistance or Rondo of Nightmare.

Thank you for giving BABYMETAL a chance. Here is a little bit of BABYMETAL info...In 2019, BABYMETAL became the first Asian artists to hit #1 on BILLBOARD's Top Rock Albums chart with their latest album, "Metal Galaxy" and a few months ago it was announced that the album won the MTV Japan VMA 2020 award for BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR. BABYMETAL has been melting faces for TEN years now. Su (aka Su-metal), the lead singer, is currently 23 years old, while Moa and Yui are currently 21. Yes, they were very young when BABYMETAL was formed! In this video, Su just turned 16 years old, and this concert was like her "sweet sixteen" celebration. BABYMETAL have performed with, toured, or opened for Metallica, Korn, Dragonforce, Guns N' Roses, Lady Gaga, Rob Halford of Judas Priest (there's a great youtube video of their performance with Rob at a metal award show), and Red Hot Chili Peppers (there is a youtube video of them performing Gimme Chocolate with RHCP, as well as with Korn, and DragonForce), to name a few of many. They have performed at large metal events/concerts in front of 65,000+ skeptical metalheads in Europe (Glastonbury, Download, Sonisphere, etc), US, and Asia. Plus the 20+ awards they have been given. They have 50+ songs and each one is different from the other, so I hope you give the other songs a try. By the way, they have some really great heavy songs too, and I hope you like guitar solos, as well as bass and drum solos, like I do, because they have them too. 🦊🤘

A lot of people have reacted to BABYMETAL and a lot started off thinking this is weird however most of them they have grown on them. Good first choice. BABYMETAL is like a box of chocolates you never know what you are going to get as they are a fusion band who fuse all types of metal and non metal genres together next song you should do BxMxC

Don't ask questions Just enjoy it your soul will thank you later

please next react BABYMETAL - ijime , Dame , Zettai - Live at S onisphere 2014 , UK (official)

Babymetal!! 🤟🔥❤️🦊

7:04 You wonder if there's any mosh pits?! Check out their live performance of Ijime, Dame, Zettai in Sonisphere 2014 and your question will be answered fully. P.S. there are even KZfaq videos of the actual mosh pits, go check it out... it's a blast!

Babymetal was my gateway to being a metal fan .. i think the genre as a whole owes a big thank you to these little fox goddesses after entering the fox hole i went deeper into metal and looking up all the OGs and really appreciate it now more than ever.. these cute fearless little girls opened up a whole new world of music for me to enjoy.. and im thankful to have experienced it.. not gonna lie i get emotional when i watch them perform because im thinking look at how gifted they are and how much they have accomplished before even graduating high school.. it is overwhelming to take in all of the hard work they put in and see how crowds all over the world love them.. the music, production , theatrics, choreo, and Su metals voice . It takes me to a spiritual place that is so special.. Enjoy the rest of your journey !🤘🦊🤘

Wish they still young always 🤘 Miss Yui 😢🤗

You are in stage I of being introduced to Babymetal, you are unsure, and confused. All BM fans start in this stage, however in like 95% of cases it will spread as your curiosity grows by the second or third song you will wonder how you lived without them. BABYMETAL 101 Babymetal is a Japanese group Founded in 2010 and produced by Key “Koba” Kobayashi from the Amuse Inc. talent agency. Babymetal name comes from the birth of a new style of metal fusing j-pop with metal creating what they call Kawaii Metal (Cute-Metal). The group currently consists of Suzuka Nakamoto aka “Su-Metal” (23 years old) sometimes referred to as Vocal and Dance, and Moa Kikuchi aka "Moametal", pronounced as Moa-Metal (21 years old) sometimes referred to as Scream and Dance. With a rotating trio of girls filling the third slot, in a 3-member formation. These girls are known as Avengers and are Kano Fujihara (16 years old) ((Most likely not an Avenger)), Riho Sayashi (21 years old) ((Most likely is not an avenger anymore)), and Momoko Okazaki (18 years old) ((Still an Avenger)). They are supported by a rotating selection of talented male backing musicians known as the Kami Band (Kami is usually poorly translated as gods, but in truth it more closely means awe inspiring spirit, entity, or object) It is why they are dressed in white to look like ghosts or spirits, though Kami being used as God(s) is so common in translation the white outfits get lost. Past Formations. Heavy Music Club Era (2010-2012) From 2010 to 2012 Babymetal consist of a three-member formation, Suzuka Nakamoto (Age 12), Moa Kikuchi (Age 10), and Yui Mizuno aka "Yuimetal" pronounced Yui-Metal. (Age 10). First starting out as the Heavy Music Club as a subunit within the Developmental Idol Group created by Amuse in 2010 known as Sakura Gakuin. Sakura Gakuin is group that introduces girls between the ages of 10-15 to music, dance, modeling, and acting through Japanese Pop idol music and culture. Given a school theme, all three would be a part of Sakura Gakuin until their graduation from it in the same school year they would graduate from Japanese middle school or 15 years old. Suzuka graduated in March 2013, and Moa and Yui in March of 2015. Sakura Gakuin is a fantastic group with great kawaii jpop songs in their own right. During this time there was no lore, and the girl’s costumes were more punkish in nature which they helped create. They also didn’t perform with live music, using a backing track or the “Skeleton band” people pretending to play music behind them. Music Video of this Era Doki Doki Morning Iine (Pronounced EE-NAH spelled i i n e) Headbangya Babymetal/ Metal Resistance Era (2012-2017) Starting in 2012 with the Legend I concert, Babymetal began its slow divorce from Sakura Gakuin, and was the first introduction of the Kami Band as well as the “Lore” that is still heavily involved in Babymetal but makes far less sense than it did during this time. The Lore is complex and involves a battle against other evil idol corporations, gaining powers, some time travel, running a resistance group, all at the direction of a mythical deity known as the fox god, against an all power enemy known as Akiba. The first Legend show I was the Kami Bands introduction to the end, but it also had the Skeleton Band which is seen in the wildly popular Gimmie Chocolate Music Video. This was followed by Legend D, and then Legend Z, in which it was learned that Babymetal would continue as its own entity after Suzuka’s graduation from Sakura Gakuin in March of 2013. Slowly over 2013 the Skeleton Band would be phased out of all live shows, as Babymetal came into their own. Babymetal as it is most commonly known as with Su-Metal, Moametal, Yuimetal, the Kami Band, and a somewhat understandable lore is what consisted for the majority of it’s existence. Also established beyond the 3 member formation, they had 2 other set ups, one was what fans called Su-Solos, and it would just be Su on stage with the Kami band, performing a solo, and the other is known as Black Babymetal by the band themselves, which consisted of just Moa and Yui. Music Videos of this Era Gimmie Chocolate Megitsune Rondo of Nightmare - With mischief of the Gods Intro (Su Solo and a great expedition of the Kami Band) Road of Resistance Live in Japan (Co-written by Dragonforce) Iijime, Dame, Zettai Live at Sonisphere (Name means No More Bullying Forever) Karate The Dark Times, The Chosen 7 Era (2018) In December 2017, Yui would miss the Legend-S concert for health reasons, these health problems would prosiest into 2018 and greatly affect the 2018 touring season bring the “Chosen 7” formation, consisting of Suzuka Nakamoto, Moa Kikuchi, and 2 backing dancers Minako Maruyama, and Minami Tsukui. Changes they would not tell fans and all throughout 2018 communicate extraordinarily little causing lots of pain for all involved fan and performer. This era is noted by their strange armor like costumes, sometimes referred to as Elf Armor. To make the poor communication, and Yui’s absence wasn’t bad enough, one of the more regular Kami band members, Mikio Fujioka passed away after falling off a balcony in late December 2017 while star gazing. A beloved and incredibly talented musician lost leaving behind his wife and only child. In September 2018 Yui would formally resign from Babymetal, stating her unspecified health and wishing to move on. Babymetal themselves announced that the group will move on focusing on Suzuka and Moa. (Something many idiots within the fandom refuse or are too stupid to understand) In October Babymetal had a concert called Dark Night Carnival which added dancers, Shoko Akiyama, Saya Hirai, and Kotono, placing a total of seven girls on stage. This was also done without warning to fans and was an absolute mess. Babymetal would finish off the 2018 tour season returning to the 3-member formation with just Saya Hirai joining them in southeast Asia and Australia. Ending one of the most troubling times in Babymetal’s history. Music Videos of this Era (These MVs do not feature the members in them at all) Distortion Starlight (Don’t let overzealous fans fool you, this is OFFICIALLY not a tribute to anyone. A lot of fan speculation, end of story) Metal Galaxy Era (2019- Feb 2020) The current set up was first introduced in 2019 during the Babymetal Arises concert in Yokohama, before the start, the “Avenger” support dancer concept was explained in the lore, and the concept thanks to communication and a maintaining of the 3-member formation brought Babymetal out of dark times brought about during 2018. Babymetal seemed to have returned to its roots with the Avengers, as 2 of the three (Kano and Momoko) come from Sakura Gakuin. The third Riho, went to the same performing arts school as Suzuka during the same time, Actors School Hiroshima aka ASH. Music Videos of this Era Pa Pa Ya Elevator Girl Shanti Shanti Da Da Dance (Avenger confusion) Which Avenger one sees can be confusing for those new to Babymetal. For the Music Videos, Pa Pa Ya, Elevator Girl, and Shanti Shanti Shanti, it is Kano Fujihara, who was just 14 years old at the time. Da Da Dance is a compilation of Momoko and Riho and a splicing of 2 different shows. In most fan cam videos of the American and European tour it would be either Riho or Momoko, as they toured with Babymetal in 2019. Kano had responsibilities with Sakura Gakuin as its president, a position Suzuka and Moa both held in Sakura Gakuin, and she’s never flown on a plane before. Some fans for 2019 did throw a stupid temper tantrum over the use of new Kami Band members who are from the west now known as the West Coast Kami Band, but like how the girls won over many, so did they and the payoff with the Legend Metal Galaxy concert in 2020 was well worth it. COVID Era (Mar 2020 to current time) COIVD-19 has messed up a lot of things for everyone, Babymetal had to cancel their Asian tour, as well their big 10th Anniversary on October 10, 2020. Forced to keep it rather tame something very unlike Babymetal as even in their failures like the entire 2018 tour they do it septically. The question for many fans is what of the Avengers, since COVID, Avenger Riho Sayashi has signed with a new agency and has move on to other projects, including starting a fan club, which appears to rule her out of ever being an Avenger again. Kano Fujihara has graduated from Sakura Gakuin on August 30, 2020, a near 4 month delay. However, she and fellow Sakura Gakuin graduates Soyoka Yoshida, Tsugumi Aritomo, and Momoe Mori in the formation of @onefive. Which leaves Momoko Okazaki as last standing Avenger with no new commitments. However, Kano was technically in Sakura Gakuin, @onefive, and Babymetal all at the same time for almost a year so it is possible she will still be an Avenger. All shows since COVID pandemic they have done in 2020 and in 2021 have had Momoko as the Avenger. Music Videos of this Era BxMxC (First music video that isn’t footage from a show and featuring Su and Moa since Karate in 2015)

If you watch the official music version, much will be explained. On her 15th birthday, the Fox, messenger of the Gods ,sends Su-metal the Holly Grail of Metal (neck-brace) and empowers her on a mission to spread metal across the Globe.

I really think Ijime Dame Zettai Live at Sonisphere should be your next reaction if you want some mosh pit action.

This is the initial stage where you fall down the fox hole. 🦊 You become confused & disoriented. Asking yourself is this real or is this a nightmare. Then as you progress you realize your entire life has been a lie. That Alice in Wonderland is actually the real world. That there is a fox God apparently & you appear in a world where Kawaii metal is the center of this strange universe we call Japan. You emerge to find Babymetal who are The Gatekeepers your tour guide to the rest of your NeverEnding Story. Trust me I tried getting out for the last couple of years and there is no end in sight. Seeing this now is kind of like a Renaissance for me. Babymetal is the tip of the burning iceburg!! 🔥🔥🔥 I recommend Pa Pa Ya, Karate, Road To Resistance, BxMxC which is brilliant! Headbangeeeerrrrrr!! The One, Megitsune, If that isn't enough just drop by Band-Maid's lair and all will be revealed!! 🤘🔥🎸🔥

Nice Reaction :--) but "Be Warned !" Once You let them Grow on You , You'll Never Gonna Be Able to Get Rid of Them ! ;-) ''BABYMETAL''' (One word !) refers to "the birth of a new kind of Metal, they call it 'Kawaii Metal'' ("Cute Metal" ;-) (The name in fact has nothing to do with the age of the girls, it is often thought of when looking at their previous work ) "Kawaii Metal" is Mix of J-Pop & "Every" kind of Metal !! Because of the Mix they will never bore you !! (That is if your open to Metal Sub-Genres because they have almost every metal genre in their repertoire ;-) (+/- 50 songs) So If you're willing to do More BABYMETAL? Just be prepared & Buckle up !!! Because your in it for A Hell of a Ride ;-)

MEGITSUNE NEXT IM SURE YOU'LL LIKE IT

Types of Mosh'sh Pits that you can see in BABYMETAL live shows: Normal Mosh Pits Circle Pits Freakin' Wall of Death Dancing circle Pit (for the song Oh Majinai) BABYMETAL is on another level 🔥🔥🔥 They're magical. And this is coming from a person who has only 4 months experience with BABYMETAL. Metal Goddess QUEEN SU-METAL❤️Metal Princess MOAMETAL😍Metal Princess YUIMETAL 😍 KAMI BAND 🔥 AVENGERS 😍FOX GOD🦊🤘

when you realize this show was for the lead singer's 16th birthday and the other two were 14 years old. Babymetal was started to blend J-pop and metal on purpose. the more you listen to Babymetal the more you will understand them. your reaction is typical first time listener. Babymetal can not be put in a box since no two songs are the same. they do so many different genres of metal.

Don't worry, there is still enough space in the foxhole and we have already preheated it for you. Enjoy your journey, we will follow you 🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼

Now, Road of resistance Live in Japan is your next step. Welcome to the fox hole.

love your reaction!!

Here are the phases of baby metal... "What?" "I don't understand..." "Nooo...." "I love this!"
