When Rob Zombie toured with them he posted a pic and said basically “these girls rock harder than you” and got backlash from trolls and responded “out of all the groups I’ve toured with these girls and their band work harder, rock harder than anyone else, fuck your opinions if you haven’t heard them, you don’t get it” and my respect for Rob grew higher.

If I'm not mistaken, this MV was 2013. Su was 15, Yui and Moa were 13. What they've done since a young age has put most artists to shame and continue to rock the world.

Music videos are cool but where BM really shines is their live performances. You can check out a live version of Megitsune from more recent times to see how the song has changed as the ladies have grown up. For newbies, can't go wrong with Road of Resistance and the new song Metali. You can find professionally produced videos and right now, they're touring the US so you'll see a ton of fan vids, too.

"Karate" and "Pa Pa Ya" are musts for you!

Next up - Babymetal "Road of Resistance" (Live in Japan) and Babymetal "Rondo of Nightmare" (with Mischief of Gods intro).

Babymetal are actually mostly the project of a guy called Kobametal. Not a lot is known about him other than the fact he's a heavy metal enthusiast who works for Amuse Inc. I think the band often refers to him as "The Fox God" in interviews. Although they're "manufactured" and have been trained professionally, Suzuka has recently started to write songs for the band and the fact that Suzuka and Moa have been in the band for over a decade shows they are dedicated and love what they do.

Headbanger, Karate, Papaya are some of their best songs and their live performances are FIRE 🔥🔥🔥

Welcome back to the Foxhole 🦊🤘🔥 This is a quintessential BM song and when you know the meaning behind the lyrics like you already did at the end, you'll see is a song any girl and woman can feel related. If you wanna see something more new then another song that recently came out and got this same Japanese elements is the brand new collab song with guitar legend Tom Morello called METALI!! (is written in Japanese but that's the translation). It's the song that settled the Fox God lore behind because megitsune means "vixen" (female fox) and kitsune means "fox" and here they're saying they're megitsune as a way to empower women. It's a hit they don't wanna leave behind in any of their setlist like currently at The Babyklok Tour in the US. Btw what you heard in the breakdown are pig squeals along with a traditional Japanese festival song called Sakura Sakura. Funny you mentioned about Evanescence, they recently performed at Summer Sonic Festival in Osaka right before BM when closing the show, and they finally took a pic together.❤ Thanks for sharing this and hope to see you next time with more BM songs.🦊🤘🔥

Great reaction, thanks and welcome back. This music video was released in June 2013 so it's previous to the "Gimme Chocolate" video. They were 15 and 13 here. No it wasn't their idea, they were chosen by the Fox God to fight the power of the evil pop idols who ruled the world and save the metal genre. No, really, it's their lore. 😁 The whole thing was the idea of one man, Key Kobayashi, music producer and huge metal fan. He got this crazy idea and thought that Suzuka would be perfect to front a metal band when he saw her performing with her forming girl band, she was 11 years old. He was producing for Amuse's Kids Division and got the opportunity to make it real. And he did it, not without sone reluctance from the company (as another sub-unit with no extra budget, having to borrow costumes, etc.). But it worked pretty well and in 2013 they split from their main group (Sakura Gakuin) when Suzuka graduated (aka had to leave the group at the age of 15). It's a very unusual and complicated story and I suggest you and everyone who want to know if more in detail to watch a guide. CrypticMisery and Omajination channels have some great guides. 🤘🦊

After 10 years I still get goosebumps

The fact that Sumetal still holds her Katana Microphone until the end of the Music Video is mind-bogglingly cool!

This song is the most difficult song to sing as an adult (very tiring) to sing live, especially with she dancing.

The growl/scream is actually the instrumentalists in the background which from what i have been told they have people all over the country of japan to limit the amount of people they have to move meaning in the videos its most likwly the same instrumentalists but live it could be completely different people playing in the background.

BabyMetal Philly concert was amazing last week❤😊😊

Saw them last week. You can see the in LA Oct 11. Sold out but resale tickets available at LiveNation for a controlled price. Vegas is Oct 8. Shared billing with Dethklok. Whoever's name is 1rst is the closer.

you should totally listen to “KARATE” by BABYMETAL!! it’s such a good song imo

Hmmm you want a new BABYMETAL song? Well they just released the NEW song "Metali". Featuring Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine. Many fans are calling it Megitsune 2.0. It is a crazy fun, high energy song. 🤘🦊🤘

Monochrome is the shit 🤘 Also Headbanger!!!

Yeah it was their idea to make that type of music they are really cute and cool at that age and also in real life

Honestly, there are a lot of songs to choose from. I have a soft spot for Catch Me If You Can, which is classic BabyMetal. Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!! is in the same vein. BxMxC is crazy. Road of Resistance is their Battle Anthem. Definitely look at live versions...there is something special about their live performances. I saw them on the Babylok tour, and they are unbelievable. Monochrome Metali BabyMetal Death The One Karate Mirror Mirror Arkadia Tale of the Destinies Papaya Just a few of my favorites. If you delve into their catalog, you'll find that labels really cannot apply to them. 🦊🔥🦊🤘

Great reaction, looking forward to more ❤ They have a deep expansive catalog of bangers.

I haven't changed my ringtone for close to a decade now. It's Megitsune xD Btw, Megitsune was released before Gimme Choco.

Yes, you have to see their live concert vids . As cool as their MVs are their concerts are truly magnetude's above . BABYMETAL will melt your brain live . Try watching " Road of Resistance " live in Japan and"Headbangerrrrr ". Also " Megitsune " live . Have fun ! and welcome to the Foxhole .

next Baby Metal - KARATE !! 👊 love your reaction Cami ❤️

"Headbangyyaaa" its One of their heviest song ❤😂 recommended for you Cami

I had the same reaction 9 years ago... I'm I musician and I love metal... This band is something else... A great mixture between metal and kawaii music. For me this little girls are more metal soul than many bands out there trying to be half of bad babymetal is.

this song is my favorite baby metal song!!

Hello! Glad you came back for the girls and this time with one my favorites songs 🦊 You listened to Gimme Chocolate and Megitsune which are songs from the first album (Babymetal) so I will drop some suggestion in a timeline: 1. Road of Resistance (album 02 - Metal Resistance) 2. Awadama Fever (Metal Resistance - and this song is a response to some haters that said they sounded a bubble gum pop 😤) I love the breakdown on this song 3. Pa Pa Ya! (Album 03 - Metal Galaxy) 4. BxMxC (Metal Galaxy too) 5. Mirror Mirror (album 04 - The Other One) 6. Believing (The Other One too) 7. Metali feat. Tom Morello (a single and the newest one)

wait til you see the live stuff. its incredible. Brings a tear to the eye honestly.

Seeing them Live in London Nov 27th. They are awesome.

The younger girls are 14 and Su is 16 in this .. the part she sings during the “pig squeal” section is a traditional Japanese melody .. would highly recommend seeing their live performance of these along with Headbanger .. and for new stuff, BxMxC (Su raps) .. Metalizm, Monochrome (off their newest album) and their newest single METALI! with guitarist Tom Morello

"BABYMETAL - Road of Resistance - Live in Japan (OFFICIAL)" is THE best thing to react to.

one of my go to songs is BxMxc. it came out in 2020, not the newest but still new-ish.

Saw them live last Sunday night. Amazing live. It's a must do for any fan.

Babymetal started as the heavy music club of the idol group Sakura Gakuin. I would recommend the Sakura Gakuin song "Verishuvi (Dance Version) " to see what these girls really signed up for. All 3 are in it. But they were happy with the attention they got with BABYMETAL. Once they started touring the world for festivals they totally embraced the metal life.

For a more modern Babymetal song, I'd highly recommend Monochrome. There are some good live videos here on KZfaq, including at least one with English subtitles, and then there's the First Take version of the song where you can really hear Su-Metal's vocal skills.

I m babymetal fans since kid ❤ i grew up with Babymetal

Headbangerrr is a must you’ll love it the vocals and the performance are stunning honestly

The founder of BM played guitar. He came up with the concept of BM. Unfortunately, he passed away a few years ago, but the group and the musical genre that he all but single-handedly created, lives on. Check out LadyBaby and Passcode for similar music, but with gutterals.

seriosuly, when you listen to their music i beg that you watch the live performances, they are amazing, you can really see their crowd control and stage presence, alongside their insane stamina

Just saw this song live in Grand Rapids, MI. Fantastic! My first time on your channel, but this reaction is great.

Just saw them live in omaha nebraska with dethklok and oh my Jesus. Just amazing ❤ 🤘

I highly recommend "Kamikaze" or "Kingslayer" (which is actually by BMTH but was a collaboration with Babymetal).

I was actually getting a little worried because it has been so long. I know you have been busy so I did not want to be pushy about it. So, welcome back! I hope you are doing very well. My personal favorite of theirs (after 'Gimme Chocolate') is 'Karate'. :)

I just saw them live and made my hip hop sister go. She's a Babymetal fan now hehe

I just saw Babymetal in Boston .. and Megitsune is pronounced “May-geet-soon-ay” .. they said it in the song

I prefer them live. They are great live.

💯 Headbanger - live 🔥

Great reaction and welcome back. 'Megitsune' often tops fan polls for their favourite song - it is always right up there among or top of my own personal favourites (but that can change depending on my mood - or which song I am listening to). It is also arguably the song that showcases better than most what BABYMETAL are about and one that truly reflects their Japanese culture the best starting with the traditional instruments (shamisen or koto, you decide which) in the intro and the lyrics about women being compared to foxes (kitsune - which also explains all the fox masks in the video) which, in Japanese mythology, are able to shape shift and take human form in order to deceive. It is also a bit of a push back against the traditional female role in Japanese society I think - or maybe it is - whilst also praising and celebrating the women who have played that role over the years for their strength. They are saying that women wearing their make up and hiding their true feelings ("crying at heart, smiling at face") are not trying to deceive anybody, they are simply trying to please everybody - so they are not kitsune (foxes), they are megitsune (female foxes or vixens) - and they are strong. The melody used in the breakdown with the pig squeals in the middle of the song (screams and growls are not the girls, for the most part they are anonymous) is from the very well known Japanese folk song called 'Sakura Sakura' (Cherry Blossoms). When Su pulled out the tanto (short blade) from her microphone (she does a high kick in the live) she said "Otome wa ... nametara ikan zeyo." (Maidens ... shouldn't be underestimated). The last part of this is a famous quote from a Japanese gangster movie said by the daughter of a gang boss. Much of the official video was shot on location at the Asagaya Shinmei Shrine in Tokyo. This has become a place of pilgrimage for BABYMETAL fans visiting Tokyo. The guys at the back waving the traditional instruments about were dancers with the lady who did the fan dance's troupe. No it wasn't their own idea - it was all down to their metalhead producer Kobametal and he formed the whole concept around Su-metal's vocal talents and stage presence adding Yuimetal and Moametal to support her - and to introduce the choreographed dance element to the metal world. It may not have been their own idea, but they bought into it completely - especially after watching Metallica from side stage for the first time. Sadly Yui left the band in 2018 for health reasons after a 12 month absence, but Su and Moa have now devoted more than half their lives so far to BABYMETAL - they were 12 and 11 when it started, they are 25 and 24 now. They have a new third member as of 1st April this year - Momoko or Momometal, she is only 20. She was supporting Su and Moa as a dancer since 2019. Kobametal is still the man at the reins, but is has become increasingly clear that the girls have a big say in what they do and how they do it.

Great reaction Cami! I'm a 62 year young man and I've seen most of the 70 and 80s rock and metal bands, just seen babymetal last week in Philly and absolutely loved them.❤

This song was awesome live i was fortunate enough to see them here in Houston on the babyklok tour back in 8n August of this year took my 5 years to see em but man this song went hard asf live

There are so many baby metal videos you need to see

There's a concert on KZfaq of Babymetal. It's the first one I watched. I type in "Babymetal Day 2". Must watch💯💪 These girls are awesome. I don't listen to Metal but I listen to BM My for sure list Megitsune Distortion ROR Karate Headbanger Iine CMIYC Yava And basically their last album I play thru. Not feeling too much a couple songs but i play it thru compared to. Listening since 2019💯

I've seen them several times live, and a few times in smaller venues. What is surprising is that they manage to keep up the energy levels throughout their gigs! It's stunning, and wonderful, and YES!

I would highly recommend watching their newer live performances. Especially their stuff from their 2021 Budokan live show. Headbanger is amazingly done.

“I have never been envious of a 15 and 16 year old before” 😂😂😂 Same. They fucking rule. Your brain will explode when you witness them live in person.

You should listen to Metali. It's their most recent drop and it is a great introduction to current babymetal because it is one of the first with their new third member Momo.

MOMOMETAL fcking GROWLS now!!! 🤘🦊🤘

Metali is their newest song and its great, you can also check out headbanger which is one of the older songs but really good as well tbh all of their songs are great!

Babymetal rocks, check out the songs Distortion and syncopation

From what I understand, the big thing the girls added when the group was formed was the fox motif. They thought the \,,/ hand sign looked life fox ears and that became integral to them.

Sugoi! Love BABYMETAL, more please!! Arigatou! 🦊🤘 #notacult #kawaiimetal #metalAF

A small list would be 1. Karate 2. Road to resistance 3. Pa Pa Ya 4. Monochrome (i loved the version they did on first take KZfaq channel)

5:25 no it's not 😂 they had no idea what metal is, and even admited they find metal "scrary" and "what the heck is this" at first. It's their producer - Kei Kobayashi, a mad man with a vision for something different, he saw the talent of Su-metal - she has vocal quality to withstand a full blown metal band, it would be wasted if she just doing J-pop, so he created Babymetal as a side project of the idol group he's working on... Then it turned out much bigger than anyone expected. But at this point I can say they grew up with Metal music now, 13 years being in Babymetal, more than half of their lives

I deffinetly recommend reacting to live performances in the future! The original songs are cool but nothing can beat Babymetal live vocals frfr. For example megitsune live? Absolutely breathtaking. Another song Karate is absolutely GORGEOUS live. I just adore Su's live vocals so much, she has such power

Divine Attack Music Video full volume.

The new track with Tom Morello is awesome.

I really gotta recommend Distortion, the drums go HARDDD

PA PA YA!!!! That is the Song you MUST listen from Baby Metal.

To enjoy at 100% the band behind them and the singer at same time you should check Rondo of Nightmare for sure, that's an insane exhibition

you really need to watch the live performance of Road to Resistance or Headbanger (Moa Ver)

Gimme Chocolate was a song that made me a fan of Babymetal (thanks for youtube recommends).... My favorite song of them is now PA PA YA! (2021) I have to listen to that song at least twice a day. Blasting it in my car :D So I recommend to listening to that.

Rondo of nightmare live by BABYMETAL is dope

Must to see from Babymetal: Road of Resistance Live in Japan. Great Reaction!!!! 🦊🦊🤘🤘🔥🔥

Kagerou, PA PA YA and Divine Attack - Shingeki - might be really up your alley!

babymetal - road of resistance live in japan

Cant wait to see the reaction for rondo of nightmare, headbanger, akatsuki black night, etc. So many great ones.

I LOVE YOUR REACTIONS!! i would LOVE to watch you react to g-(idle) killing voice. It showcases their skills SO MUCH and they're all so great. Gidle is a group that has startet to really blow up and they're breaking stereotypes and social norms. Think you would like them a lot ✌️❤️

KARATE its one of the most recent and one of my favorite, pls listen to it! :3

Please please go check out the live recordings. From a similar era to those you have seen the Legend shows especially Headbanger will give you a sense of the epic stages and visual theatre their shows bring. Then you can move on through their progression. Possibly Road of Resistance from the Saitama Super Arena (2015). The three girls were chosen from an incredibly young age by a zen like figure named Kobametal. Suzuka even at 12 had an immensely powerful voice. That kind of timbre required to punch through the sonic wall a heavy band produces. They have little influence on the songwriting especially at that time but did write a few lyrics

I recommend headbanger - the live performance of the moametal version is amazing for the crowd participation and we also get more of moa's singing and su's dancing. Babymetal death at the Legend 1997 concert is like out of this world metal theatrics. Ijime dame zettai (idz) at sonisphere is also a great one - most of the crowd at that festival had no idea who they were and those that did thought theyd hate them but they won over the crowd.

If you want tto see more of the band watch Catch Me If You Can or Rondo of Nightmare Live

This stupid fucking song makes me tear up every time i listen to it and i have no idea why, what a banger lol

It's crazy how today they are 24 but they still look so young

late to this but defff give babymetal death a listen!! its one of their older songs but its so good! from their newer stuff deff give metali a listen (specifically their live mv), metal kingdom, maya, and divine attack!! loved this video and glad u enjoyed babymetal

Doki Doki morning, karate, catch me if you can, head banger, and too many other songs to list. 🤘🦊

MaaaN! I thought you were like some other reactors & wrote Babymetal off! Glad you gave them another shot! 🤘🦊

if you wanna see another song that’s pure babymetal, give headbanger! a shot! i promise it won’t disappoint. more recent stuff like BxMxC is a MUST

Check the video of this song Live at Budokan. So badass. Metali just came out. That one is a good song to check out.

Babymetal Headbanger Legend 97 live!! Their best performance!!! It goes so hard

Line! Is such an underrated song of theirs

Evolution from here could be: Road of Resistance (live in japan official MV), Karate (official MV or live at Download fes 2016), Distortion (Download fes live 2018), PaPaYa (official MV), Starlight (2020 live), Metali (official MV 2023). Other notables: Akatsuki and/or Rondo of Nightmare (live Budokan Black Night 2014), Yava (2017 live), Tales of the Destinies (Tokyo Dome live), Arkadia (2020 live), From Dusk Till Dawn (2021 live), Mirror Mirror (official 2023), Monochrome (The First Take) Long comment 😅

I saw them in Cleveland in September and it was amazing 🥲

Welcome back to BabyMetal 😁🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼

Everything You Need To Know About BABYMETAL - A BABYMETAL Guide (UPDATED) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/naqemJOp3NTNhJs.html

I second the live performance suggestions. There's a few "Everything you need to know about Babymetal" videos out there, just like the Blackpink ones that'll get you caught up with them. There's TONS of stuff to check out. Side note- I just saw them in concert in Cleveland on the BabyKlok tour, and it was one of the best shows I've ever been to. They included this song in their set. It was awesome. Babymetal live: Amore, Headbanger!!, "Ijime, Dame, Zettai", Atatsuki, Road of Resistance, Tales of the Destinies, etc. Welcome back, btw.

KARATE, Rondo of Nightmare (live version), Road of Resistance, METALI!!, Iine!, Headbanger, Awadama Fever, I could recommend songs by BABYMETAL for days. But an absolute must is From Dusk Till Dawn. In my opinion, it's their masterpiece. From start to finish, it's absolutely perfect.

I saw them perform this live a few weeks ago, and it was awesome!

React to Karate, Headbanger Time Wave, Distortion, Monochrome, Road of Resistance, Metal Kingdom... all are so good metal songs The Megitsune live version is awesome in nowadays. All live versions are from another world
