What is even more mind-blowing is that Su's earpiece wasn't working for this song too, so she had to kinda wing it too.

It's got to be fun and a challenge to be a songwriter for Babymetal....As long as you have these in the song 1)part where Su can show off her vocal range 2) parts where fans can join in 3) Kamiband solo... As long as you got those 3, you can do whatever you want.... Go poppy? Brand New Day or their earlier stuff.... Go hard? Maya, Rondo of Nightmare, Headbanger... Go ethnic? Shanti, Metalizm, OH Majinai....😁😁😁🤘🦊🤘

I think you're ready for this next suggestion: - "Babymetal Death" live at Legend 1997 held in 2013, GuilhermeCait got this with the intro translated in the description box. Just remember that we are -NotACult- 🦊🤘💀

Think about it this way when it comes to how tight and well rehearsed this band is as well: They are in the middle of Tokyo Dome, so that means they’re playing IN THE ROUND. If you look closely during the solos, while Mikio and Takayoshi are next to each other and can see each other, they can NOT see BOH or Hideki on drums. The band has their backs to each other. Yes, they all may have a click track in their in-ear monitors, but they can’t see each other while going through those time signature changes. That tells you how good they are.. and to top that off, Su lost her IEMs prior to playing this song, so she went completely off of memory, and nailed it. That’s how good they are.

Glad y'all liked it! This is a direct homage to Dream Theater, the top prog metal band in history. Almost every single Dream Theater song sounds like this,but is normally way more technical (yes)and 10 minutes longer. That is NOT a knock on this song! I love this one!

Great reaction. As you have been told, this is an homage to Dream Theater and their song 'Dance of Eternity'. Mike Portnoy was very impressed describing it as ".... full on Prog Metal". The piano at the end actually carries on and it was the bridge into the next song and the finale for Red Night (night 1) at the Tokyo Dome - 'The ONE'. These two songs started life as one, but they were separated quite early in the writing process. They share some themes of course, but they each have a very distinct feel to them. Just to add a little more about their professionalism ... right as they started playing 'Tales of the Destinies' Su-metal's IEM stopped working and she was taking her cues from listening to the drums. I don't think her IEM was out for very long (maybe the first verse or just a few seconds), but the fact she didn't even seem to bat an eyelid and carried on as if nothing was wrong - and nobody would have known any different amazes me.

Babymetal's most technical song has raised eyebrows by many other metal artists. Impressive for the musicians, but also for the young ladies, at age 17, 17 and 18.

Two guitarist at the back are the master and the apprentice pair. The master is the late Mikio Fujioka and the apprentice is the renowned Takayoshi Ohmura.

Moa mentioned in at least one interview, that they tried out a few different versions of the choreography for this song. At this point she doesn’t remember which one they ended up performing.

There's a reason they're called Kami Band 🤘🦊🤘

This song is Babymetal's tribute to Dream Theater and specifically the song "Dance of Eternities". Mike Portnoy's son showed him TotD and he gave it his seal of approval. Kobametal worked on it for years before he was satisfied with it. This performance at Tokyo Dome is the one and only time they have ever played TotD live, though they have expressed a desire in interviews to try it again, as they weren't completely happy with the performance. The guitar solo was Mikio (RIP Kogami). The piano melody at the end is actually the intro to The One. Originally, the two songs were one song. Sorry you felt like you had to justify yourself. Going in blind is a perfectly valid way to react to a song.

The one was the follow up song to this at the concert it melded the 2 together.

All the work required to learn and rehearse this song to perform it only one time live just blows my mind. So ridiculously good. Kitsune dao!

This is, apart from being an awesome Prog Metal song, a perfect example of the dedicated practice and rehearsal Babymetal put in. The Kami Band play this complex piece perfectly and the ladies perform their constantly varying choreography perfectly too - yet they only performed this at this one concert! I see there's a number of recommendations for 'B-A-B-Y-M-E-T-A-L DEATH' (the Live at Legend 97 version is THE one! - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jKtjZ9CD1c-agZ8.html ), so I'd have to add that, while I definitely agree you should stare in awe and wonder at one of the very best and very Metal concert finales ever, you should not read anything about it first. Really, just for that song, PLEASE DON'T READ ANYTHING ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE FIRST. PRETTY PLEASE, WITH SPRINKLES!. 🦊🤘🤘🦊

This is the Greatest Live Line up Ever for BabyMetal. The guitar duo of Fujioka and Ohmura were the Stuff Gods are made of. The Yui years were BabyMetals Absolute Galaxy Class Best. They are Great Today as well but the Sheer Magic and Alchemy of Music and Performance this era of the band put forth will live on long after we are gone it is so Ahead of its Time.

It's a masterpiece

Great reaction, thanks! "Tales of the Destinies" is probably their most technical and prog metal song. And this performance is unique (literally) and a masterpiece. I wasn't much into progressive metal the first time I listened to it and I admit I was like WTF... until I watched this live performance and suddenly all made sense. Now, followed by "The ONE" (the piano bridge in the end leads into it) is one of my favorite BABYMETAL moments and I like to revisit it frequently. 🤘🦊

This song has only been performed once before. Now that Kogami-sama and YUI are gone, it is unclear if it will ever be performed again, but I have high hopes for the new BM. From Japan🦊

That's why we say Babymetal can play song from Iron Maiden , Mettalica whatever . But who can play Babymetal?

5:10 Reaction start Thanks for coming back with more BM songs and this time with another special song from their 2nd album Metal Resistance, and this one is even more meaningful, this song was performed previous to last and ending the show. Friendly suggestion, don't read comments about the song at the beginning, that way you won't get spoilers and be so long to start watching the vid, leave it for the end section of your final thoughts. Oh and come back with whatever you want, either older or newer, isn't disrespectful at all, it's just better for your BM journey to experience this chronologically and appreciate the evolution, that's all, but do as you like. It took several years for KobaMetal (the producer and mastermind of this group) to create this progressive metal song along with "The One" which is the next song, he's a Dream Theater fan. This song was performed only one time at Tokyo Dome 2016 with 55K fans witnessing this special and one of a kind live concert, people from all over the world attended this two nights performing their entire catalogue by that time from 1st and 2nd album, only song they didn't performed was From Dusk Till Dawn. There's a lot of crazy transitions and dope time signature changes. Is one of the hardest song they ever performed, even some troubles suddenly happened when performing this but fortunately they made it through like a real pro. I always love the reaction over that piano section with the cutesy dance moves. The piano outro is no other than "The One" melody announcing the next song with this peaceful bridge. Both songs were originally part of the same song but it was split in two parts. The One is a song dedicated to all of us their fans, we're The One, and that should be the perfect follow up, although isn't a progressive metal song, more like hard rock ballad with progressive rock. The Kami Band members this night are: Mikio Fujioka (R.I.P.) and Takayoshi Ohmura on guitars, BOH on bass and Hideki Aoyama on drums. Remember according to the lore all of them were send to help the girls with the metal sound. This time you're watching their regular costume back then wearing burial white robes and corpse face paint representing those spiritual entities. Glad you liked this one, there's a reason for this performed only one time and that should stay that way for everyone who witnessed this special moment in BM career. Next suggestion: - Babymetal Death live at Legend 1997 held in 2013, GuilhermeCait got this with the intro translated in the description box. Oh btw this channel and vid you saw is relatively new and this song was heavily blocked several times, there's a live compilation out there with a lot of views so don't take this views as a clue about what BM fans like or not. See you next time🦊🤘🔥

Great reaction, the song that follows this one is "The One" the piano leads into it, they say the 2 songs where ment to be one song but it was too long so they split it up in 2 different songs.

Nice video 💯 Keep up the great work 👍 Pay no mind to the negatives. You guys have the channel, not the whiners 😂

Nice reaction. This song jumped to the top of my list of special Babymetal epic level performances. The original trio at the top of their game. Moa said that when they did the ten years of Babymetal at the Budokan they thought about doing this song. But she said they tried over 30 different dance routines for this song, and she couldn't remember which one they actually did. Personally, I would have loved any dance routine for this song. Su said she wanted to try to do this song again too. As if this wasn't perfect. But only they know what wasn't perfect. One of the great things about Su is that she is a perfectionist. Never to happy with the performance. Always thinking how we could do it better if not how she could do it better. But that doesn't stopper from being happy when the crowd cheers. When the fans are happy Su is happy. At the end of a show, you can tell by how much she smiles and waves enthusiastically it gives away how she felt about the show. She always will wave and smile but when the show was hot with the fans. Su is overjoyed. I would love for them to perform this now with Momoko. She has the talent to do it and since they said they thought about doing it for the 10 year shows. Momoko was the dancer with them at the time.

This might be my favorite Dream Theater tribute song. They did such an amazing job of merging a respectful tribute to Dream Theater's "Scenes From A Memory" era with the more pop-oriented Dragonforce style of metal that "Road of Resistance" revolves around. As a huge fan of progressive rock and metal it was so rewarding to hear this song for the first time and think that "this is way too on-the-nose not to be intended as an official shout-out to DT" and then get hit with their take on era-appropriate Petrucci runs leading into such a great nod to Rudess' ragtime piano segment in "Dance of Eternity". I really enjoyed this reaction. :)

Tales Of The Destinies:- A tribute to Legendary progressive rock band "Dream Theatre" from America 🇺🇸. Babymetal only performed this song once which is at the Tokyo Dome in Japan 🇯🇵 to a crowd of 55000 fans over two nights which total of 110000 fans. This song genre is Progressive Metal and different from "Dream Theatre" which focuses more on Rock. That night Su-Metal ear-in monitor malfunction just as the song is about to kick in, Su-Metal has to relied on The Kami Band tempo changes to be able to synchronise with The Kami Band and both Yuimetal & Moametal. Considered Babymetal most technical song and complex composition. As seasoned pros, Babymetal did a superb job that night. Those who love progressive music will definitely appreciate the technical aspects and precision of the Kami Band and Babymetal complicated choreography. The piano melody bridge will lead to the last song The One from their Metal Resistance Album. Progressive Metal at its best. Only done once live at the Tokyo Dome. Kitsune Up 🦊🦊🦊🤘🤘🤘🇯🇵🇸🇬#notacult.

👍 👍 You guys have done a great job on your BabyMetal reaction/reviews. Looking forward to your next reaction to a LIVE BabyMetal performance.

ありがとうございます🤘🦊♪

Great reaction. You said everything I would have mentioned and Grington mention the problem Su had with IEM . So I will just say keep the BabyMetal reactions coming I enjoy them all . 😁🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼

they did say the dance was a concern due to those time changes. I imagine that's why they only performed this song this one time

BabyMetal raised the bar for live performances . Nice reaction guys , thank you .

this is actually only the first half of the song..."The One" is the second half...the continuation of "Tales of the Destinies" "Tales of the Destinies+The One" is actually one song. the piano melody at the end of "TotD" is the beginning of "TO"

This is an homage to Dream Theater's The Dance of Eternity. Even the little rag-time bit comes from a performance of that song.

Koba's love-letter to prog. Hits all the classics, from the crazy time-signatures and weird song structure, to the little pianobreak dance out of nowhere, to the end where it fades into the intro to a different song (THE ONE). 😀

TOTD is my favourite BM song and I consider it to be one of three early prog songs that BM has, the other two being "The One" and "Rondo of Nightmare". The latest release "The Other One" also has some progie songs. Yui, Moa and Su do not play instruments to a professional standard, but they have been singing and dancing since they were very young and that will have included music theory so there is understanding along with hard work. I bought the Tokyo Dome DVD just for "TOTD" and "The One". The rest of the concert is awesome, but this is the only live performance of TOTD and it's the height of Kobayashi's art/artifice/showing off/seeing what he can get away with etc. It's very obviously a homage to Dream Theater, "The Dance of Eternity", even the two titles echo one another. It's interesting to note that Dream Theater performed at UK Sonisphere 2013 where BM had an early international success and I wonder if Kobametal saw them perform. This could have been a complete disaster but Babymetal bring their unique singing and dancing talents to the song and the Kami Band are fantastic...as they always are. To so obviously reference another awesome piece of music and yet still be different and brilliant on its own takes a lot of skill...and either guts or hubris. I love the way the ending resolves from the prog metal madness into a beautifully lyrical piano solo and the Charlies Angels ending is cute. Kobametal says that it took a couple of years to get TOTD to it's final state. I really think of Babymetal as Kobametal's massive multi-year art project and this is the height of the original concept.

During the lockdowns (with permission from the Fox God) Babymetal livestreamed this concert to keep us very happy. During the stream Mike Portnoy tweeted about loving this song. I heard he likes prog. ;)

great reaction🦊❤

In case your curious. The Kami Band for that night. Mikio Fujioka ( Guitar), Takayoshi Ohmura (Guitar), Boh (bass), Hideki Aoyama (drums). If you ask me, this is the best line up for the Kami's. Leda and Isao are also top tier players but the chemistry between Teacher and Student can't be matched.

この曲は壮大な曲だが、それ以上に壮大な次の曲の「The One」へのプレリュードのように思える。

I can't recall if you have already reacted to BABYMETAL's song The One. This performance flowed straight into that song to close out this concert (this song and The One were originally written as a single song, but were split into two). If you do watch The One, try to react to the Tokyo Dome concert video if you can. It has one of the very few moments where Su's metal mask comes off for a couple of seconds and you can see the young girl that she is. If you blink at the wrong moment, you will miss it, but it is my favorite part of that song.

Awesome reaction guys.

Dudes… I was at this concert - both nights!!! To say that it was F$cking epic would be a complete understatement. Just so good on every level! 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻

This song was performed only once. It's a part of another song called ,the one, which they go into right after this one, but they split the song in 2

That’s Babymetals homage to DreamTheater and they have performed that song live only once at the Tokyo show in 2016. The piano at the end leads directly into “The One” which was originally not a separate song but they decided to split it in two. The Tokyo Dome shows were insane on every level with 55.000 fans attending each night and two completely different set lists. The stage, the lightning, the Kamis, and of course the performance of the girls were just off the charts. If you have the chance to watch the full show, do it, you won’t regret it, I promise! If you haven’t, check out “The One” next ❤🤘🔥🦊

P.S. this was the only time this song was performed. It has not been performed since then. I hope they bring it back in the future.

To say BabyMetal's best years have come and gone is crazy, but the original 3 and original Kami Band is no more😢

Also… never apologise. You do a great job and nobody cares if some loser has an issue with it. Just do you! 🤟🏻

Hardest working band in metal is NO JOKE. Can you even imagine putting a show like this together? It`s insane. 55,000 people each night. That whole show is AMAZING...One of my favorites. Syncopation is another great live track. The one word I would say makes these musicians and the girls so great is ou can tell they are sincere in what they are doing. Su has said in interviews that she loves music because it`s the one thing that brings people together and crosses language barriers.

I really wish the cameras could've focused on the Kami Band at certain points of the song, like the awesome ascending riff (just before that old-timey piano interlude) The number of live videos from countless bands that don't focus on the instruments at key points (even solos at times) will never not irk me...

Really the song dont finish with a fade out... this is the first part and get link with the second part the song THE ONE. The one is a song make for the fans (fans of Babymetal are called "The ones")

👍 Amazing performance!!! 🦊 🖖 ❤

When this song appears I never imagined they will come back to childish stuff. Sadly there are no more songs like this

lol Su-Metal professional singer, she know music same as musicians :))) And that time (2016) she already has almost 10 years live singing experience on stages (she was singer before Babymetal formed) (she sing in theater musicals too and even sing songs for anime) I think this song was harder for musicians than for the girls. (Dance/Sing to this is not easy. But play this very difficult)

I think destiny was in Su-Metals blood here as this story is what rock legends are made of. On September 27th 1971 Led Zeppelin touched down in Hiroshima for a concert at the Shiei Taikukan Hall (Prefectural Gymnasium. Where they gave the profits to the City of Hiroshima that were later used to help build a music school. Led Zeppelin wanted to do something to promote peace at the time. Which later this school had a student that (in time) would have a daughter that became rather famous as any ideas of who? 🤔 Su-Metals farther had a Punk band called The Hooligans. Which he played in high school and later went onto play semi- professionally. Whom has since seen his daughter perform alongside one of his favourite idols, Guns N´ Roses. ____________________________________________ Imagine how proud Suzuka Nakamoto farther must have been here lol. I think it is a wonderful twist in this musical fox hole we have found ourselves in. Which is only furthermore cemented in this reaction video. As the late great Mikio Fujioka was in this as well. R.I.P🪦 Mikio Fujioka was a massive loss to Babymetal. Who died in a tragic Balcony accident in 2018. He was not only an important member of BabyMetal & a massive loss! He shared Yui's love of stargazing which may have influenced her depture. He was also one of Takayoshi Ohmura instructors back in music school. Which btw just for the record here. Takayoshi also happens to play in Marty's Friedman band as well!! 🙀💕 This s*** deserves a Rock documentary. 🤘🦊🎸

Just when you think you have got Babymetal figured out….

Incredible!

9:04 That was... Brilliant!!

Thanks for the reaction. This is one of my favorite Babymetal songs. I hope they perform it again someday so I can see it live, but I can see why they might not want to. It isn't a good song for crowd participation.

You can't please everyone. I like your channel and in my opinion, reaction videos are better without research or prep. I don't mind people pulling up lyrics but keep doing what you're doing and don't worry about the haters. By the way I love The Warning and look forward to you covering their other albums.

Like dream theater colaborating with helloween and spice girls 👍👍👍👍 Refrein like "eagle fly free"

Might i suggest watching Sakura Gakuin. SG was an all girl idol group in which Queen Su, Mao, and Yui were part of it founding. The Idol group lasted 11 years their last performance was in August 2021. I'ii send you a link from my library .

😎😎😎🤘🤘🤘

🍅💀🍅 🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼

One thing I find odd about The One is that they seem to be the only fanbase who recommends songs out of order. Where most other fanbases say "You have to start at the beginning and work your way to current day. That way, you can see the journey and the girls evolution as they grew older and leveled up." Also, you don't really have to research them. Just slip in a video to your Babymetal reactions of you guys reacting to either of these videos: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mcyJjLWfpp7Zm3k.html

Only time this has ever been done live .

maybe watch the song this one then led into: The One

🦊🦊🦊

Whats your view Is it just me or is the music in this song very familiar to BABYMETAL - THE ONE kzfaq.info/get/bejne/isCCqbJhuJO4fIk.html

Who are complaining about things? I enjoy your reaction. Like you said, if you research everything then you dont get suprised by things that happen in the songs. Seems stupid to me. Keep doing what youre doing

Great reaction, y'all! Imagine all that work to learn the song and choreo just to only play the song live once. This is the one and only time they played it. It is one of my favorites. I too bought the Blu-ray just to have this performance. The piano at the end plays into the next song, The One. That is another one worth the watch. If you watch closely in The One at Tokyo Dome you will see Su-metal break character for a second and Suzuka Nakamoto peaks out from the armor in amazement. Kitsune Up!

You should check out the companion song to TOTD called"The One". They were originally meant to be one song but were split into two, with the latter being written about and dedicated to the fan base. Thus, the name of the fan base being called The One. The piano outro you heard was the intro to The One,an equally epic piece of music in it's own right 🦊🤘

After black night the drummer had to be carried off stage

Wait a minute. What do you mean teaching to non musicians and people who arent musical? All of the girls are professional singers and have been for years at the time this was shot. Also how can dancers be non musical? Thats a pretty strange take. I get it they arent guitarists but last time I checked singers were musicians and dancers were musical. It is areal real feat of incredible talent though. Nice reaction guy!

Personally, I think this song deserves to be heard on CD.

Baby theater!!!!!
