I can't believe that they've been around for as long as they have and I'm just finding out about them now I feel like I have been living under a rock 😂 how could I have missed something like this

Good job introducing your friends and family to BABYMETAL - and good choice of song and performance. As you said, it is one of their early songs. It is about a girl going to her first metal concert on her 15th birthday (which is an important 'coming of age' date in Japan), so it is also about moving on to the next stage of her life, things will never be the same but she'll remember this special night for ever. They were aged 16, 14 and 14 here and were the youngest average age female band to headline the Budokan, a very prestigious venue that you only get to play by invitation (The Beatles were the first band to play there). BABYMETAL sold it out two nights running (Red Night and Black Night). This was Black Night, the second of their two shows - you can tell because of the safety railings around the stage. They weren't there for the first night and during 'Headbanger' Yui fell off the stage (6-8 feet onto concrete - no joke when you're less than 5 feet tall yourself) and Su and Moa completed the song without her without missing a beat. Yui was back on stage and smiling for the next song (the last of the night) where Moa slipped and fell during a sprint round the stage at the start of the song. She barely stayed on the stage but twisted her knee or ankle and was clearly in pain for the rest of the song - but again she did all the choreo including jumping and pretend fighting with Yui. As you saw here, they were both fine the next night, leading the crowd and getting everybody involved.

I was there too front row glad they like it also Su-Metal is 22 now Moa-Metal is 20 - Yui-Metal is 20

Dude in the middle is frozen stiff and questioning everything in the first 30 secs or so xD everyone's acting normal around him pausing, chatting while he is processing 😂😂

This is their best song imo. The version from Makuhari Messe is even better.

If I remember correctly the are 16 and 14 here. Su is 2 years older the Moa and Yui. I got to see them on their 2019 US tour. Definitly an amazing experiance.

One thing that you didn't touch upon in the video was the venue. The Nippon Budokan or simply Budokan enjoys legendary status in Japan. It has hosted many of the greatest acts in the history of modern music.... Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Kiss, Judas Priest, Fleetwood Mac, Diana Ross, Prince.... the list goes on and on. It was originally built for the 1964 Olympics as the arena for the judo competitions. It is still used as a martial arts sports arena but it has evolved into possibly the most famous and prestigious concert arena in Japan. At this concert the girls of Babymetal became the youngest ever artists to headline the Budokan... an extraordinary achievement for such young girls. At such a young age it would not have been surprising if they had been overwhelmed by the occasion but, as is clearly apparent, they knocked it out of the park and put on a hell of a show despite a few hiccups. The show extended over two consecutive nights. The night before this one they had an accident when Yui fell some ten feet or so off the stage and they had to finish the song without her. (She managed to get back on stage and finish the show like a true professional in spite of hurting herself) For this second show they erected safety barriers around the stage. Even so they nearly had another incident when Su, at the end of this song, managed to drop her microphone and it was only saved from rolling off the stage by Moa's quick thinking.

It brings me an unimaginable joy to watch new Babymetal fans being made.

Well, in terms of popularity, i´m afraid that in the metar corner the absolute winner is still X-Japan In fact, X-Japan is the inspiration of the producer of Babymetal to put those girls to sing heavy metal

Budokan black night was performed on 2 March 2014. Suzuka was 16yo, Moa and Yui were 14yo at the time. Moa and Yui were also in Sakura Gakuin idol show at the time.

Great one, thanks! And good job keeping on "corrupting" your friends and family hehe... As a matter of fact, it's a luxury to get introduced to BABYMETAL with a great live performance of "Headbanger!" like this or the one from Legend 1997 (Budokan's stage is more impressive, thought). Grington300 has already told you about the accidents happened during "Red Night" performance and that just makes you respect them even more. Problem is that I'm not able to watch the Red Night DVDeLorean =)

Good reaction!🌎🦊 #STAYHOME #STAYMETAL

The beginning song I love to hear!The shake the but probably would have to fast forward the scene. Several seconds to the light horizon the most impressive skillful song of babymetal perfectly performance skills of abilities to greatness. Then I would stay stop the moment. Before next shake the but scene. Because it's to risqué of improper naughty words! But I love rest of the grand rising *perfectly performance skillful songs ever made. My great information for today. Have a great fabulous wonderful day.

Thanks Su Moa Yui kami Band and Dance choreographer Mikiko. From Japan ♫

legend of 1997 headbanger live is totally the best version of headbanger Live they have ever captured so far free on youtube

日本語字幕がないのでfriendたちのreactionが、meには全くI don't knowなんだが 俺が初めてベビメタを知った（見た）時も、こんな感じの表情してたなぁって思った。

Actually, moametal was exhausted at this time.

⚡ 💀 💕 / 🤘 Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!!!

More babymetal reaction with your friends

Somewhere around 5% of spoken Japanese is actually English, referenced as Japanglish (here in the west). After WW2 as Japan opened up to other cultures a blending began. So thats why sometimes it sounds like random english words are tossed into the middle of the fully Japanese lyrical songs.

They aren't the most popular band in Japan (Not even close to it aside from the metal genre. Japan ist the second biggest music market in the world, by the way.). But they definitely are the most popular Japanese band in the west!

absolutely amazing and wonderful 💞

good Video,good friends,goodr.

14 and 16 yo

I applaud your friend's patience in watching the video to the end, even though they felt a strong sense of incongruity. I would like to express my respect to BAM, who kindly introduced Babymetal to his friends while anticipating such a reaction.

Next you guys need to react to Rondo of Nightmare withMischief of God Intro or Road of resistance live performance.

Oh man Thank You!!!

This is only one song in the show. They’re high energy throughout the entire concert.

You are all ready for BABYMETAL Death song....and hang on...

Live at MAKUHARI MESSE is a better concert video, much much better!!

Reaction with Yui as main vocal on the headbanger song. Its too cute

The #1 Japan biggest Rock Star [a legend, treated like a God] is "HYDE" = 16 Tokyo Dome sell out, also played on the US Missouri and will now only play at Zepp Tokyo because he can control the audience more; also his biggest income is his merchandise. Personally I like BM more:)

Another fan always nice to see welcome to the one . Enjoy your journey down the foxhole . #notacult

Nice reaction,,

Like and a Sub! THANK YOU for turning your boys on to Babymetal!!!

The Legend of 1997 and Moa versions are freaking insane

Waiting for rick to appear in the comments.

Reminded me of some middle school cheerleaders

Okay if you going to do introductions they are: Su-metal singer, Moametal and Yuimetal dance and scream. Also so they have had a #1 album on the American charts. Their concerts sell-out in America and Europe.
