No Rain No Rainbow at Legend S is another beautiful and heart-wrenching performance. The earliest performance by Su that made me shed tears was "Asu He No Tobira", aged 10. Su's voice is unique, she has that ability to grab your attention even if you don't understand what she's saying. Kobametal has said "When I first heard Su-metal sing, there's not that many singers that sing the way she does. It was very direct to me." Her performance at ASH Spring Act 2007, aged 9, is also very beautiful even though her voice is understandably far from developed. The "unofficial" trilogy isn't the songs, but rather the performance of them at this specific concert where the three songs illustrate Su's transition from normal human artist to Metal Goddess. You won't really understand it without reading the translation to the intro videos. I love the story elements, it must have been an amazing experience to have been part of live.

Good guess on her age. The Legend of 1997 concert was Su-Metal's 16th birthday party, she was born in 1997. The main concert was performed with the skeleton band. Which is only there for choreography they don't play. But the encor was played with the kami band, which included Headbanger, Akatsuki, and Babymetal Death. And when you watch that one, you will realize just how epic her 16th birthday was.

Oh if you want a perfect Su solo we recommend No Rain, No Rainbow from Legend S, Baptism XX concert (her 20th birthday). It brings tears to my eyes as she so captures the emotions.

Thanks for coming back with this great suggestion in order to experience the final special set of this encore live at Legend 1997, remember this isn't an official "trilogy", is just something made up by some fans, there are others official trilogies thou. Akatsuki means "crimson moon" and the original song with the full instrumental is a tribute to X-Japan - Kurenai song, you definitely need to check it out live at Budokan 2014 version, is one of the safest to react, is also one out of four SuMetal solo, that's why no Yui and MoaMetal along with her, they got their own set of four songs under the subgroup Black Babymetal. To say it right the "u" is almost silent so it reads something like "Ah - kats - ki". This is the "kamishibai" or narrated intro translation: _"In order to defend the soul of the Metal, in exchange for her own life. SuMetal fought. Before long, SuMetal's soul became the crimson flame, and dyed the sky crimson. However, as the distant stairs go out, the end of life is the law of nature. Now the "crimson moon" (Akatsuki) is burning out with SuMetal."_ She played this song last year at "10 BABYMETAL Years" Budokan when cellebrating their 10 years with ten live concerts, mixing up both versions but with a little bit of Unfinished part. The vocal techniques on SuMetal and her voice grew up a lot, and it's better because of healthy reasons, and of course she's still awesome and we love different versions of her and the performance with different setups like guitars duel, SuMetal fighting against her "mirror", or "muscle-metal" (backup dancers) fighting in a cool choreo. She said in a interview that she knew she can deliver this song first time when she saw someone in the audience crying. This special version not only got the piano and soft SuMetal vocals, unlike the original version this one doesn't contain the last two verses, that's what is called "Unfinished", but (and this only my theory) i think the "Unfinished" title is relative to another Evangelion reference, bare with me a little bit, since this was Legend 1997 honoring SuMetal birthyear, they took another legendary anime series as a way to narrates SuMetal own story but also the release year of that important animated movie was 1997 called Evangelion: Death and Rebirth, but due to budget and time constraints the "Rebirth" part couldn't be finished on time, and it was known as "Unfinished", so this is another wink to that series because the alternate ending was like that, a bittersweet ending, but later they finished this two last chapters and put it together in a new movie. Again this is my guess and i didn't saw anyone else saying this so i could be wrong, not trying to solve a mistery here just following KobaMetal probably tributes since he said he doesn't like to explain it all althought he leaves us a hint here and there. You'll find this version at exclusive 1st album limited edition only for fans along with other special version of Black Babymetal songs. Of course this goes better finishing with the next grand finale with "Babymetal Death " (that's the correct title, not Death alone). So if you reach that version just remember that we're -NotACult- 🦊🤘🔥 Thanks again for your in-depth analysis on this, you're one of the few going so deep with this kind of breakdown and I truly appreciate that. See you next time and like always put your kitsune up 🦊🤘🔥

Once you read the lyrics, you'll feel even more for this performance.

Great reaction. The first time a heard this version I was moved almost to tears. How such a young woman, a child at the time really, could perform such a beautiful version of a song with such an emotional punch was incredible to me. Su is really quite something. She’s a “veteran” of the scene now having been around for the best part of twenty years in various ways , nearly thirteen of them with BABYMETAL, and still only just 25. She’s really only getting started. What an incredible talent. We are so fortunate she chose to share it with us.

"She is a superhuman" - absolutely 👍😄

Close Su is not super human - she is a goddess (no really, officially SU-METAL is an ascended being)

Uh-oh! I’ve got bad news for you TYLR. You’ve joined The One and have become emotionally involved with this band. I can’t watch this version of Akatsuki without getting a lump in my throat. SuMetal crying in the last verse breaks my heart and you can hear the raw emotion in her voice as well as seeing the mascara streak down her right cheek at the end. Perfect theatre. I get a sense of pride every time I watch them live, no more then their 2014 Sonisphere performance. I have no idea why but I do every time.

She's called The Queen for a reason ! , Su is my favorite female singer ever

Lots of metal singers have got range and power (Tarja or Floor), but Su's one of the few singers I know that can be that expressive of emotions in her singing. From her facial expressions, the pained smile, to how she's singing with slight hesitation like she's choked up with emotion.... She's not just a vocalist.... That's one of the many reasons I like her, she doesn't just sing a song, she performs it... From facial expressions, to her own interpretive dance moves, its a whole package.... If a western pop singer sings a sad ballad, they might just lower their eyes a bit, a slight frown... When Su does it (like in Akatsuki Unfinished or No Rain No Rainbow), you can hear the cracking of her voice, the slight choking back a sob, the sad tearful expression... Better than some hollywood actresses. 🤘🦊🤘

This performance makes me cry every time. Her emotional singing is just so powerful.

Beautiful song and Su is so adorable 😂

I've always said that Su's greatest gift is her ability to convey emotions across the language barrier. You don't need to speak a word of Japanese to understand what she is conveying in this song.

このバージョン最高です‼️🤘🦊🤘

She is super special. She is the singer..

Superhuman. Yes. Sakura Gakuin’s mission was to groom “Super Ladies”. In that, they succeeded.

Well, the One and You have said almost everything i could have said about Su ❤️ Welcome to The One 😁 🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼

I always wonder how nobody notices, that Su seriously starts crying at the moment she stands up. Seeing her like that, with big tears running down her cheeks always hits me so hard 😭

Great reaction! There is so much more for you to discover down the Fox hole.

I've always loved this version of the song, but other live versions are still a must. Can't wait for Babymetal Death reaction. Kitsunes up 🤟🦊🤟

I don’t speak Japanese, so take this with a huge grain of salt. The, “U” sound in Japanese is often soft, or even silent. So the pronunciation, might be closer to Aka-ski. The, “Mary” statue in this show is in homage to Metallica’s Justice for All tour with a similar statue of Lady Justice. The facial characteristics of the statue are more Asian so many fans have stated it’s actually a statue of Su-Metal in religious type clothing. Iconography often takes on the characteristics of the region it was created in. I’ve never seen a statue of Mary in Asia, so it may just be standard. I agree with your description of Su’s vocals. Yes she had just turned 16 a day, or two before this concert. Like a fine wine, she only gets better with age. She’s now 25 and a few weeks. Yes you should go back watch the finished version from the Budokan at some point. All of the suggestions are great. My personal favorite vocals are Shine, and No RAIN No Rainbow from Legend XX.

Akatsuki Unfinished Version:- The "Trilogy Of Death" is not the official title but just not like Metal Galaxy "Trilogy Of Lights" which consists of "Starlight, Shine & Arkadia" which is the 3 songs of Metal Galaxy album. It is just compiled with "Headbanger, Akatsuki Unfinished Version & Death Legend 1997" to make the "Trilogy Of Death". There is a faster version of Akatsuki at Budokan Black Night show which you will love ❤️. If you love ❤️ this I suggest you react to "No Rain 🌂 No Rainbow 🌈" at the Legend Baptism XX concert in Hiroshima Japan 🇯🇵 for Babymetal symphonic ballad which I am sure you will definitely be awe. Akatsuki:- Kanji Title: 紅月-アカツキ. Romanji Title: Benitsuki -Akatsuki English Title : Crimson Moon -Dawn. Akatsuki/Benitsuki:- Akatsuki- is the couping song from BABYMETAL's 3rd single Megitsune, by SU-METAL. The song is also included in BABYMETAL's first original album BABYMETAL. Information:- •Artist: BABYMETAL. •Single: Megitsune. •Album: BABYMETAL. •Lyrics: NAKAMETAL & TSUBOMETAL. •Composition: TSUBOMETAL. •Arrangement: Kyoto. Lyrics Overview:- Released on 2013 Jun. 19th, coupled with MEGITSUNE (included in the regular edition). Lyric: NAKAMETAL, TSUBOMETAL / Music: TSUBOMETAL / Arr.: Kyôtô AKATSUKI (Crimson Moon) This is the rough translation of the analogies before Su-Metal sing:- (1) メタルの魂を守るため 自らの命と引き換えに戦った In order to defend the soul of the Metal, in exchange for her own life, Su-Metal fought. (2) やがて SU-METALの魂は 紅の炎となり Before long, SU-METAL's soul became the crimson flame (3) 天空を紅く染めたのであった and dyed the sky crimson. (4) だが 遠くの星が消えゆくように However, as the distant stars go out, (5) 命の終焉はこの世の理なのだ the end of life is the law of nature. (6) 今紅き月がSU-METALと共に燃えゆく• • • Now the crimson moon is burning out with SU-METAL. Going over thousands of nights, some love shall survive. So, until my body perishes, until my life disappears, I shall keep on cherishing this love. Shining in the depths of the eyes, the moon is about to cry. Red tears overflow and dye the night sky. In the silence, the two damaged blades stand face to face. Our loneliness and our uneasiness slash even our hearts. Going over thousands of nights, some love shall survive. So, until my body perishes, until my life disappears, I shall keep on cherishing this love. In the passage of time, I keep my eyes shut. Even if the red thread flowing in my hand breaks, I still feel we are tied. In the silence, I hold the damaged blade face to face. My loneliness and my uneasiness, I slash, even my heart, now. Going over thousands of nights, some love shall survive. So, until my body perishes, until my life disappears someday... Going over thousands of nights, some love shall survive. So, until my body perishes, until my life disappears, I shall keep on cherishing this love. Dye crimson! Dye bloody crimson! Kitsune Up🦊🦊🦊🤘🤘🤘🇯🇵🇸🇬 #notacult.

I don't know anyone with a soul as innocent as hers.

You will be happy to know that there is lot's of very young/pre-BM Su stuff out there; A fake appearance on America's Got Talent On stage w/ a bunch of pre-teen girls aspiring to be Idols (ASH). Su is easy to pick-out, look for slightly dorky/over the top dancing which is very Kawaii. Of course, when-ever she sings, one knows it's her. She does theater, so well, they ask her back. There are some fan vids of just Su. from very small as she grows up. Su performing at a shopping Mall. One of the ways we learn about Su's personality is from an interview w/ Mikiko, Babymetal's dance teacher who has been working w/ Su from early on. She talks about Su's dedication and hard work, but hints about a lack of discipline in matters not directly connected to the performance. She slso talks about the hand gestures while singing are pretty much Su, she doesn't coach her in that regard. As special as our Queen is, what really impresses one is how beloved she is by the other girls (Not just Yui and Moa) We see this over and over in the SG stuff. If any are jelous of Su, they don't show it. They just love her to death.

I'm not sure if her vocals are "she is gifted." But what I'm sure of is that she is the best gift the fox god can give metal. 🦊

Awesome! Thanks 😁 🤘🦊🤘 I think Jake explained the intro to this one already, for BABYMETAL DEATH there is a translation for the intro in that videos description ;) (Also after that one you will want to go to a concert even more 😅) And I personally love the idea of going through the albums btw!

Hi TYLR Now do you know what I mean when I said she is the Japanese Morissette? One thing you may not have picked up on or noticed was near the end when you commented that the vocals was all her and there was no backing vocals or anything, you may have not noticed that she was full of emotion and actually had a couple tears coming down her face. You'll really see that in Babymetal Death! because you'll see later on in that video that some of her makeup has started running. At the age of 16 Su most certainly a prodigy. She's only improved as she has aged too. Incidentally, the "Mary" statue, I've been told, is actually a Su statue in a "Mary" form. I personally don't see it, but I've been told that and I've read that numerous times. It is supposed to depict things that happen to Su in Babymetal Death!. That is the one where they are saying pay special attention to the statue. That being said, when it happens, it is dramatic enough that you likely wont miss it. Also, I don't remember if I said this last time. I feel like I did, but maybe I didn't. It's been a stressful couple of weeks for me at work too, so I've been a little more absent minded than normal, but there are also a couple different versions of headbanger out there as well that I'd recommend you giving a listen to. One is ... well ... almost like a dubstep version they do. The others are when Yui and Moa have birthdays. Probably the best one you can find by searching youtube for Moabanger. I feel like you'll really like that one too. I was actually blown away when you said Su had the best vocals you had ever heard! I always loved her vocals and still do, obviously, but I had always thought everybody would thing Mori had better vocals. Me personally, I think there are things that Mori can do much better than Su, and there are things Su can do that are much better than Mori (I assume you realize when I say Mori, I mean Morissette Amon). That being said, I think I like Su more, but that is pretty much more because I like the music she sings much more. I'm not really into the music Mori sings as much, with a few exceptions. But even when I don't necessarily really like the music she sings, I still enjoy hearing her sing them because I like her rendition. Case in point, I don't really like the original singer's version of Rise up. But I do enjoy Mori's rendition and feel it far surpasses the Original singer's version. Like Su, Mori has a way of putting passion into her music and it really shows. Anyhow, thank you for that. I needed that today.

I recommend making a reaction to one of the coolest female vocalists in the world. Diana Ankudinova - Queen of Goosebumps - Diana received such a title for her extraordinary unique voice. Diana's best performances - Derniere Danse, Wicked Game, Can't Help Falling in You Each of these speeches garnered over a thousand reactions. Diana is in the TOP 3 world vocalists in terms of the number of reactions (about 15 thousand reactions).

Emotions.

Great reaction. It is the U that is (virtually) silent in 'Akatsuki', so the pronunciation is something like Ak-ats-kee. Thanks and all credits to Du-metal for the translation: Prologue to "AKATSUKI" in Legend "1997" "In order to defend the soul of the Metal, in exchange for her own life, SU-METAL fought. Before long, SU-METAL's soul became the crimson flame, and dyed the sky crimson. However, as the distant stars go out, the end of life is the law of nature. Now the crimson moon is burning out with SU-METAL." The song itself pays homage to X Japan's classic 'Kurenai'. There is a full translation (with explanatory and cultural notes) on Du-metal's blog site ... he did the same for every song on the first two albums. The 'unfinished' aspect is the fact that this is an acoustic version - just Su, piano and strings, but also she does not sing the last two lines of the original in this version. Yes I highly recommend (after you've watched 'BABYMETAL Death' - that one will be fun, I'm looking forward to what you make of that) that you react to the full version (Budokan Black Night is safe for reactions and is many peoples' favourite performance, but there are so many great performances of 'Akatsuki'). Same lyrics, same melody ... and yet a completely different feel, the two version could easily be considered as completely different songs.

Nice reaction, thanks! Yep, no one in the entire world is able to convey the emotions like she does. Not only she has a gifted voice but she's also an incredible performer. And yes, that's all her and nothing else apart of that piano. I admit that this version gets me every time. She turned 16 the previous day and I believe this was a little too much for her as well. So next... "BABYMETAL Death" (Legend 1997): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jKtjZ9CD1c-agZ8.html (This version has CC for the intro and absolutely no spoilers). 😁 And, yes, then you can go with the regular version of "Akatsuki" (Live at Budokan Black Night): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nZhjapV0mraufIE.html Until next time!

She probably not the best in vocal range, sound or techniques. But she's an unique phenomenal with how pure and consistent she sing, with emotion projection and ability of one of the best performer/entertainer to deliver it

absolutely amazing and wonderful 😊😊❤️❤️

i looked through your list and didn't see that you have gone back to watch the "finished" version of akatsuki with the kami band. you must do it....today if not sooner! i recommend the live version from the fox festival 2017 with english subtitles (i believe the channel "for the fox god" has it). that performance will blow you away. the budokan version is great too,but something about the fox festival 2017 version is so raw and dynamic,like seeing them in a club,that it makes you say OMG out loud. looking forward to you reacting to it. btw they start a u.s. tour soon,so now is your chance to see them live!

With the first two albums there were both Su solos and Black BABYMETAL (which is just Yui and Moa). Black BABYMETAL have four of their own songs.

*BABYMETAL - LEGEND 1997 APOCALYPSE CONCERT* at Makuhari Messe, Chiba Japan. This concert was on the 21/12/2013, the concert was named (Legend 1997) because that was the year when Suzuka Nakamoto the lead singer was born on the 20/12/1997, so the show is in some way (SU-METAL's 16th birthday party) how did you celebrate your 16th birthday? I cannot remember mine, SU is not going to foget her 16th birthday. The whole show (Legend 1997) is all about BABYMETAL's final transition from being a sub-unit of Sakura Gakuin and J-pop Idols in to an independent and a live performance metal band. The show started with an opening performance with Yui and Moa carrying neck braces to the music of 'Ave Maria', this is telling you who the statue is of at the back of the stage 'Mary Nazareth' (Mary of Nazareth) this opening performance comes to a conclusion when Yui and Moa offer up the neck braces to the statue and descend below the stage, to be replaced bye SU waring a neck brace standing on a plinth that rises half way up the statue, Yui and Moa then reappear back on stage and they go into there first song of the show. That song is a very techno dance remix of 'Headbanger' (Headbanger!! -Night of 15 mix-) but it was not remixed bye a fan Babymetal remixt it, if you ever watch it how you see it is how they performed it on stang, it will all so be very clear that they are lip-syncing and if you don't no anything about the world of pop ldols they nearly allwas lip-sync, now remember this concert is about there transition so this first song was entirely and unashamedly lip-synced to a backing track and they were not trying to hide it, I don't think that Yui or Moa ever tried to pretend they were singing they just smiled danced, and interacted with the fans even when they reappear back on stage at the start of this song the looks on there faces said "we are going to have fun with this", SU no the other hand loves to sing and the look on her face at the start of this song was more like "HO BOY lets get this over with", SU do's lip-sync with the mic but there are times were she moves the mic away and carries on singing and at one part the other dancers lift SU up arms outstretched mic in hand and you can hear her singing but SU's lips are sealed and the look on her face at this point is just saying "REALY", even the band that are on stage with them are fake thay are actors dressed in skeleton outfits called (The Babybones) and are pretending to play there instruments. So now you no about the first song what about the rest of the concert and no I not going through each song individually I will put a play list up of them for you, what I will say is that the techno dance remix of 'Headbanger' was the last time you would see SU-Metal, YuiMetal or MoaMetal lip-syncing, for the rest of this concert and every concert that they have done since the girls are singing LIVE, however the rest of this concert was done to backing tracks with The Babybones pretending to play, but the fans went hard at this concert and so did the girls it was one hell of a party that I would have loved to have bean at. Hear is the play list for this concert. Legend "1997" Ave Maria (Intro) Headbanger!! -Night of 15 mix- Doki Doki Morning Iine! Tamashii No Rufuran, Return To Myself ver. (Yoko Takahashi) Uki Uki Midnight Gimme Chocolate Kimi To Anime Ga Mitai Megitsune Ijime, Dame, Zettai *The Band* Babybones. Now that may have bean the end of the concert but it was not the end of there transition, the show was about to begin the girls would come back out on stage for a five song encore but this time The Babybones were not with them, the band that came back out on stage with SU, Yui and Moa were THE KAMI BAND and they don't have to pretend to play there instruments, The Kami Band is made up from some of the vary best musicians that there are in the world today and they were about to rock this place to it's very foundations, the five songs they were to perform are these. -ENCORE- Onedari Daisakusen Catch Me If You Can (Extended Intro) Head Bangya Akatsuki (Unfinished Version) Babymetal Death *The Band* The Kami Band - Aoyama Hideki (Drums), BOH (Bass), Fujioka Mikio (Guitar), Leda Cygnus (Guitar). So now what do we have a very hyped up crowd rocking hard the girls feeding off the crowds energy and going harder and now a live band that always rock hard and heavy, Babymetal's transition from pop Idol singers into a live performance heavymetal band was complete, I said before that this was one hell of a party for these last five songs HELL would think that it was being invaded. There was one more thing to be done and it would involve the last song BABYMETAL DEATH, but that neads a description all of it's own so we will leave that for now. JUST AS AN EXTRA FOR YOU. This how ever would not be the last time that The Babybones would perform with the girls, Babymetal is not just a band they refer to it as The Babymetal Family and once you are a part of the family you will allways be a part of it and The Babybones had bean a big part of Babymetal and there evolution to were they are now, so as a farewell to the fans The Babybones were given one last tour to do with the girls it would consist of five concerts two out side of Japan and three in Japan. These are the concerts. DATE: EVENT: PLACE: BAND: 28/12/2013, Live In Singapore, Scape The Ground Theatre, Singapore, Babybones. 30/12/2013, Countdown Japan 13/14, Makuhari Messe Internacional Exhibition Hall, Chiba, Babybones. 18/01/2014 All Live Nippon 2014 (Vol.2) Yoyogi National Gymnasium, Tokyo, Japan Babybones. 24/01/2014 Kinniku Shōjo Tai × Babymetal Tsutaya O-East, Tokyo, Japan Babybones. 02/02/2014 Babymetal x Chthonic ATT Shout Box, Taipei, Taiwan Babybones. This was The Babybones last tour there was just one more thing to do, and that was to officially retire from stage and hand over to The Kami Band, this would be a performance of just one song *Ijime Dame Zettai* it means (No More, Bullying, Forever) a good song choice for this, and it would be the first and only time that The Girls, The Babybones and The Kami Band would be no stage performing together, after this performance the band with the girls has always bean The Kami Band and the performances have always bean live, that is what they wanted to be a Live Performance Band and they are, to listen to a Babymetal song is good, to watch a Babymetal music video is all so good, but to see Babyletal perform live that is somthing you just have to experience. Anyway this performance was at. DATE: 06/02/2014 EVENT: Music Station Show PLACE: Makuhari Messe Event Hall, Chiba, Japan BAND: Babybones + Kami Band KAMI BAND FORMATION: Hideki Aoyama (Drums), BOH (Bass), Takayoshi Ohmura (Guitars), Leda Cygnus (Guitars) BABYBONES FORMATION: "ONLY THE FOX GOD KNOWS". 🤘🦊🤘

I have heard it said secondhand - and not all of these are true - that she got emotional at the end because she saw someone crying in the audience. That is certainly in the realm of possibility.

A su per human… we are lucky!

🍅💀🍅 🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼 Perfection.

⚡ / 🔴 🌙 It's the "u" that's not voiced, although the "ts" part is really difficult for Westerners like myself to pronounce. Like the end of the word "hats". The song title 'Akatsuki' combines red (aka) and moon (tsuki). On the track listing they have replaced the character for "aka" with "kurenai" (a deep red or crimson) as a tribute to the X-Japan song with that title. This song is a Su-metal classic. 'Akatuski' was her first solo song with BABYMETAL. It was released with the 'Megitsune' single in June of 2013. I think it's interesting she omits the final two lines of the song in this "Unfinished" version: "Dye crimson! Dye bloody crimson!". Su had performed the heavier version several times before this, and many times afterwards, but this is the only time the "Unfinished" version was ever performed. This December 21st, 2013 'Legend 1997' concert celebrating her birth (in 1997), was held the day after her 16th birthday.

I think the "laying down" was probably intentional. Her voice is so strong that this is probably the way they wanted to restrain it somewhat for that soft part.

There is a video out there that has full English subs. If people are going to suggest videos and supply links, they should supply the link to the English subbed video. The English sub video for this is literally the exact video just with subs. Of course, you can feel the emotion of the performance alone, but it's much more emotional if you have the lyrics as well.

Thanks for this reaction, Suzuka/Su-metal is my favorite singer. Their are some who have even more abilities, but her doing things like this at 'just turned 16 the day before' will always be amazing to me. She is the center of Babymetal and the talent Babymetal was build around. Everyone involved in Babymetal is very talented, but as you said she is a special talent. In Babymetal lore, Su-metal is a Metal Goddess. Some fans call her Metal Queen, or Queen for short, but as long as you praise her with respect it's all fine by me LOL 🙂 Seriously, she is able to deliver with emotion. That's a big part of her talent as a performer/singer. Many fans have cried watching this song/performance the first time. My impression has always been, maybe their is some effect on her voice at this part: 14:04 I would recommend after Babymetal Death to react to: Akatstuki Budokan Black Night. That's the 'full' version. So you can see how it differs.

babymetal DEATH LEGEND 1997

Great reaction and insight! Now you need to listen to the regular version. Same song but, different. My favorite is Budokan Black Night. You were close on pronouncing Akatsuki. It is the U that is silent. Sounds like Akatski. Definitely looking forward to your reaction to Babymetal Death. I agree with starting from the beginning and working up to the newest. That way you get to watch them grow and progress. Kitsune Up! 🤘🦊🤘

the statue is of su

The audio and video are very slightly out of sync on that video (on the source video not TYLR's video). There are other videos of the same performance that aren't.

Please check the full version of Akatsuki, which is much better. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r62lqLSQmZvFhIk.html

She had just finished Head Banger, hit the gong and fell down and then sat up and sang this song. What fantastic stamina. If you like this I would suggest Amore. In the early longer shows Su would sing solos so that Yui and Moa could take a break and Yui and Moa had songs where Su took a break. If you want to see just Yui and Moa look for GJ! , they just destroy the place, rocking song.

The statue is SU. This is basically her 16th Birthday party. This show represents her transformation from pop idol to metal goddess. The girls (Moi-moi) are backstage, taking a much needed break. Kitsune dao!

The source of female metal in Japan is BABYMETAL, who paved the way. Nemophila, Love Bites, and Band Made would not exist without BABYMETAL.

🖤🖤🖤

SO after "Babymetal Death" live at Legend 1997, "Akatsuki" live at Budokan 2014 would be a really good idea! You could react to a BlackBabymetal song, since you did a SU solo! I would suggest "Onedari Daisakusen" live at Budokan 2014 or Legend 1997, both really good! And after that, I would suggest the "Everything you need to know about Babymetal" by CrypticMisery! Don't get scared if you see 40 minutes video, we will gladly watch it together with you and help you understand everything :D If you believe it's too long, you can even cut it in half and do 2 separate reactions to it! Yui and Moa were backstage taking a break and maybe doing homework xD Babymetal has 4 SU solo songs in the first 2 albums (Akatsuki, Rondo of Nightmare, Amore and No Rain No Rainbow), and 4 songs performed by Yui and Moa without SU in a subgroup called Black Babymetal (Song 4, GJ, Onedari Daisakusen and Sis Anger). Did you notice at the 14:29 mark that SU had mascara running down from the side of her right eye? She was putting so much emotion on the song that she actually shed some tears! I love your reactions and your enthusiasm! Good job :D

Please react more babymetal live performance 🦊🎸

You also need to watch the epic opening of this show. Don't be fooled just because it is called "headbanger," you have not reacted to it yet. Also, you should react to the other version of this song, perhaps Budokan Black Night version.

😎😎😎🤘🤘🤘

BABYMETAL🔥🤘🦊🤘🔥

大事な場面見逃したからいいねは取り消し！

You obviously fell in love with Su's vocals. Welcome to the club. She turned 16 the day before this performance. Her vocals are live, the piano is probably track. Here's a version of this song that is similar to the one in this reaction: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/js-SZ7mEyJmxd5c.html No point reacting to it but you should listen to it. The footage is well worth watching. The statue is only in this concert. There is no consensus about her identity. Some think it's Su. Others think it's Mary and point out the first piece on the setlist: Ave Maria (Schubert). The statue has no insignia typically associated with Mary. And she is definitely not Lady Justice. IMHO it is just a generic female.

AKATSUKI (eng below) Ikusen mo no yoru o koete iki tsuzukeru ai ga aru kara kono karada ga horobiru made inochi ga kieru made mamori tsuzukete yuku. Hitomi no oku ni hikaru nakidashi-soona tsuki wa akai namida afurete yozora o somete yuku. Seijaku no naka de kizutsuita yaiba sashi-mukai kodoku mo fuan mo kiri-tsukeru, kokoro made. Ikusen mo no yoru o koete iki tsuzukeru ai ga aru kara kono karada ga horobiru made inochi ga kieru made mamori tsuzukete yuku. Sugite yuku toki no naka hitomi o tojita mama kono te ni nagareru akai ito kiretemo kanjite-iru, kizuna o Seijaku no naka de kizutsuita yaiba sashi-mukai kodoku mo fuan mo kiri-tsukeru, kokoro made, ima. now. Ikusen mo no yoru o koete iki tsuzukeru ai ga aru kara kono karada ga horobiru made inochi ga itsuka kieru made Ikusen mo no yoru o koete iki tsuzukeru ai ga aru kara kono karada ga horobiru made inochi ga kieru made mamori tsuzukete yuku. Akaku somare! Makka ni somare! ----------------------(eng) AKATSUKI Going over thousands nights, some love shall survive. So, until my body perishes, until my life disappears, I shall keep on cherishing this love. Shining in the depths of the eyes, the moon is about to cry. Red tears overflow and dye the night sky. In the silence, the two damaged blades stand face to face. Our loneliness and our uneasiness slash even our hearts. Going over thousands nights, some love shall survive. So, until my body perishes, until my life disappears, I shall keep on cherishing this love. In the passage of time, I keep my eyes shut. Even if the red thread flowing in my hand breaks, I still feel we are tied. In the silence, I hold the damaged blade face to face. My loneliness and my uneasiness, I slash, even my heart, now. Going over thousands nights, some love shall survive. So, until my body perishes, until my life disappears someday… Going over thousands nights, some love shall survive. So, until my body perishes, until my life disappears, I shall keep on cherishing this love. Dye crimson! Dye bloody crimson!

this isn't her best..watch No rain No rainbow...That is Su at her best.

Make no mistake, Su-metal has an extraordinary voice and this song clearly demonstrates her versatility but I cannot, in all honesty, call this song one of BABYMETAL's best. Nevertheless, I think you would be doing yourself a big favor by watching the entire "Legend 1997 Apocalypse" concert from beginning to end ( kzfaq.info/sun/PLdhz2aj0pt4xJJOwvX9sPP2Pwy-jqUB46 ). It includes three songs that do not appear on any of their albums. Keep rockin' the BABYMETAL!!! KITSUNE UP!!! 🤘🦊🤘

Around this time, Su- chan said in an interview, "As an idol, but I'm a normal me, and as a member of Sakura Gakuin also I'm a normal and as a member of Babymetal, I'm a little cool." She's basically Suu-chan is now one of the world's leading vocalists, but when she comes off the stage, she's a real shy lovable woman. This is her greatest charm.

One more song until the metal goddess incarnate.... That is the last song of the day, BABYMETAL Death.... Don't forget this if you're going! ..... .NOT CULT😁. And SU, who became the goddess of metal, performed the complete version of AKATUKI.... It's a black night BUDOUKAN😁.

👍 👍 I believe that you may now understand why so many of us are here. For me it began with the fascination of something new and different displayed in the best way possible. That is fine of course but eventually that fascination will fade or be replaced by the next newest discovery. What has us here (in my opinion) is the realization that not only are they insanely talented but also by observing how they conduct themselves on and offstage. Watching videos showing their time at Sakura Gakuin, their character revealed through interviews and personal testimony given by those who have worked with them concerning their discipline, work ethic and humble nature gives me solace. So many (especially in the entertainment world) display self indulgence, arrogance, vulgarity and shallowness. They are a breath of fresh air. So here I am. Until next time.

I know this is a reaction to this song. But man, your incessant talking was annoying. Sometimes you gotta know when to shut up and let things happen to you. And this was one of them. Love your admiration of Su, though.
