This song is a banger, and a fun festival song. Also, while Momo has supported Babymetal as a backup dancer since 2019, she wasn't official until Apr 2023. Metali was the first single released after her inauguration, so this is THE very first time we hear Momo's voice on an official release, which is why they gave her a special "mini-solo" of sorts. The lyrics of this song calls out to all the boys and girls of the "Metal Village" to sing and dance because this is a festival, we are all going to act like a fool, and no one's going home! The MV has a lot of funny jabs against "traditionally restrictive" Japanese culture, a few examples: Moa/Momo kicking away the tea set, wearing shoes on Tatami Mat, and the Fox Signs through the Shoji wall. Not to mention Momoko's "Kabuki Theater" performance, which is traditionally a high-brow, male actors only theater (think of western Operas). Babymetal loves to be rebelious and pokes at the restrictive traditions to get all the plebs involved because EVERYONE will join in to have fun at a metal festival. 😆🤣 Love their antics, lol. 🤘🦊

Metali is so fun live. I'm pretty sure its going to be a staple at their concerts for years to come.

_Wasshoi!_ 🦊🤘🏮 We got another banger for Japanese festival or any festival around, they performed this at the recent World Tour 2023/2024 and getting the crowd going bonkers with this. The live debut was at Apocrypha - Another One exclusive show prior to the track release, it was fun and totally unexpected, everyone was having a blast and even started with a Kami Band solo after a while without it. There's a live proshot version at Summer Sonic Festival in Osaka released in the official summer sonic, but it's heavily blocked, luckily there's another official live MV they did last year at NEX_FEST Festival safe to react. You'll notice some slight difference between the live and the studio album. The song title is Metali!! (metal + matsuri, which is a Japanese festival) and you can hear it in the spoken section when MomoMetal is doing the Kabuki moves style, and btw this is her first official MV as an official member, although she was part of some official live MV as an avenger. Also this song is outside of latest album The Other One. Just so you know "wasshoi" is another shout used in Japanese festivals when men are carrying the shrine, similar to sore and soya in Megitsune and Karate. The traditional Japanese instrument you can hear in the beginning is a shamizen, also used in Megitsune. I can totally see why they pick Tom Morello on this, the groove, the catchiness, the super energetic jump and those typical 90's vibes at funk or alternative metal live concerts. Next suggestion: - MAYA live at PIA Arena MM official MV. See you next time.🦊🤘

In their live performances of this song, Momometal growls "Are you ready!". During their recent world tour, it was the first time they revealed Momometal growling.🤘🦊🤘

We are in 2024, full of wonderful things, LIAB is one of those things, so why not watch more new things? React to any live music at Pia Arena 2023 or wait for the Legend MM blu-ray to come out. Many good songs played at this concert.

Nice one, thanks! Bad songs you say? Hmmm... apart of that abomination I'm not gonna name (and it's not even their song)... Some fans consider "Elevator Girl" (the English version) their weakest one and there is also "Future Metal" which is an intro/opener and I don't consider it a proper song. Also in the bottom of the barrel (in my opinion): "Da Da Dance" and "↑↓←→BBAB". 😈 🤘🦊

Thank you for the reaction 🦊 Kistune da o!!

"Wasshoi Wasshoi Wasshoi Wasshoi!" Good reaction. This is all very Japanese. Metali is a made up word mixing metal with matsuri (a Japanese festival). It's about a metal village holding a metal festival (matsuri) and they're saying we are all fools - the fools that dance and the fools that watch - so if we''re all here and we're all fools we may as well all dance. Yes you need to see (and react to) the live version too ... this song is pure madness at live shows.🤘

Great video J Swag glad to see your channel growing. Keep up the good work.

Next suggestion: Sycopation live at budokan 2021 legend M

In the live 1 you got watch it it's 10x better as momo growls

わっしょい(Wasshoi) is a shout used when carrying a お神輿(omikoshi=portable shrine). There are many different calls, but "wasshoi" is the most familiar. If you do a KZfaq search on 「夏祭り お神輿」, you will find a video that will give you an idea of the atmosphere. What MOMO was doing was a 歌舞伎(Kabuki) performance(見得=Mie). Looking forward to the next BM video! 🔥🤘🦊 From🇯🇵

Wasshoi is a chant heard at many festivals and sporting events etc.

Dokkoisho, dokkoisho! BABYMETAL HAS GOT THEIR KAWAII BACK!!! 🤘🦊🤘 (This music video would have been so much better had they not had Vin Diesel in the background wearing a panama hat and pretending to play guitar. 😁 ) Anyway . . . . I agree with The One that BABYMETAL is best served live but, as you've seen, they do have several MV's that are real works of art and shouldn't be overlooked. I suggest the following: Doki Doki Morning (official music video) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mc-im7RpzrLIkqs.htmlsi=k84SUx4P01t9M5ic Iine! (official MV) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p7yUdaWA1bnTfmg.htmlsi=rNZ3yF8RGVdzBZmS Megitsune (official MV) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mbFjgbCLpruvd6s.htmlsi=tqswsmiNVGv2SQFW Karate (official MV) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fdx0ZqZ5ppqcoHU.htmlsi=H_ZQFvyOJa4RBAHP BxMxC (official MV) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pM1ooMtnr7utoY0.htmlsi=cDkHg0th8i5HSJZ4 Apparently you missed the comment I posted on your "Road of Resistance" reaction in which I pointed out that official BABYMETAL music videos do NOT have subtitles. I also suggested that you look up the lyrics to the BABYMETAL song you about to react to before reacting to it. Keep rockin’ BABYMETAL!!! KITSUNE UP!!! 🤘🦊🤘

go check out their early mv like Megitsune or Ijime dame zettai. It was like 10 years ago but still good since they performed at very young age.

Alright BabymetalXLilUzi next

🤘🦊🪭

👍👍Great MV. You must also react to the live also. It contains a "surprise". You can never go wrong by reacting to both.🦊🦊🦊 🖖❤

My guess is the song has too many Japanese colloqualisms & cultural vocabulary to be easily interpreted. Here's my own English translation for the lyrics. I hang out more with Chinese fansubbers, so mine has a different linguistic nuance. Cheers. VERSE 1 Meta mura matsuri no meta ondo (metal marching song at the metal village festival) Matsuri da matsuri da yottoide (it's a festival [x2] come on over) Wakka ni natte wakka ni natte piihyara odorou (circle up [x2], tootle-too, let's dance) VERSE 2 Meta mura niki-san neki-san mo (brothers and sisters at the metal village) Matsuri da matsuri da yottoide (it's a festival [x2] come on over) Wakka ni natte wakka ni natte minna de utaou (circle up [x2] let's all sing together) PRE-CHORUS So-re so-re so-re dokkoisho (that's it [x3] let's get going) Odoru ahou ni miru ahou (dummies watching dancing dummies) Onaji ahou narya odorinchai (why not dance if you're dummy too) So-re so-re so-re dokkoisho (that's it [x3] let's get going) Odoranain ja utain chai (sing along if you aren't dancing) Utawanain ja odorin chai (dance along if you aren't singing) Koko de odoranya odoranya odoranya (let's dance here, let's dance [x2]) Kaerenai (can't go home) CHORUS Odore odore odore so-re so-re dokkoisho (dance it [x3] that's it [x2] let's get going) Yurase yurase so-re so-re (shake it [x2] that's it [x2]) Utae utae utae so-re so-re dokkoisho (sing it [x3] that's it [x2] let's get going) Sakebe sakebe so-re so-re (shout it [x2] that's it [x2]) Wasshoi wasshoi wasshoi wasshoi [x3] (heave-ho heave-ho heave-ho heave-ho) Netemo sametemo dokkoisho (whether asleep or awake, let's get going) Wasshoi wasshoi wasshoi wasshoi [x3] (heave-ho heave-ho heave-ho heave-ho) Neko mo shakushi mo dokkoisho oh~ (every tom dick and harry, let's get going, oh~) [SPOKEN] Odoru aho ni mieru aho (dummies watching dancing dummies) Onaji ahonara odorede shikashi (gotta dance if we're all dummies too) Koko de odorira nya itsu odoru (if not here, when are we to dance) Metari! metari (metali! metali) [INSTRUMENTAL] Dokkoisho dokkoisho dokkoi-dokkoi-dokkoisho [x4] [OUTRO] Wasshoi wasshoi wasshoi wasshoi [repeat to fade]

Great reaction! If you want to try a song that many kitsune don't like, try Oh! MAJINAI. I freaking love it! It's my go-to track for when someone thinks they finally "get" Babymetal. 😆

Fyi, in between _Metali_ and _Leave It All Behind,_ there was _Kingslayer Live in Tokyo._ Just google the lyrics. No, there's no subs in 90+% of Babymetal songs, get over it. sigh. I'm French, am I asking for subs? No. Never, I have google.

I recommend making a reaction yava and night night burn from this video: "D1 BABYMETAL LEGEND METAL GALAXY METAL GALAXY World Tour in Japan Extra" and if you want more live concerts, please reply to this comment

🦊🤘

The content of the lyrics is what Moa and Momo do: let's dance, dance and sing, it's a metal festival! Thanks for your great reaction.

Don’t worry, new collab is about to be released this week! May 23 Babymetal x Electric Callboy

🎵Wax on Wax off🎶Wax on Wax off🎵. -- Mr.Miagi. lyrics.--

Ha,Ha, Ha 🤣 BabyMetal bad song 😮 oopps forgot about Little Uzi 😱 🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼

Netali is a coined word . Metal + Matsuli (Festival)= Metali.

None of their songs are technically "bad" as such but everyone has a couple they possibly skip or feel a bit "meh" about. The english lyric version of Elevator Girl is straight cringe while I'm not in a hurry to listen to The One (the 80s glam rock feel of it puts me to sleep), The Legend or (controversy) Tales Of The Destinies again.

Yeah Metali is in my top 10! Expecially the first part! So Kawaii! 😄 Time for "Iine" official MV! Otherwise the live at Legend 1997 version is good too! 😄

🤘🦊🤘 公式にライブ動画がありますよ😊 残念ながら公式動画には翻訳字幕は設定されていません。

If it's a video from Babymetal's Official channel, don't expect any subtitles. 🤣I think they purposely don't add any. In my opinion, if you like "Gimme Chocolate!" you won't find any bad Babymetal song. Usually people dislike a Babymetal song because they probably dislike the songs with too much of the "Babymetal flavour" in it and they probably prefer the more Metal side of them. Again just my opinion though. Definitely keep diving into the Fox-Hole. Some suggestions: Babymetal - "Akatsuki" Live at Budokan 2014. (Su-Metal solo song) Babymetal - "Onedari Daisakusen" Live at Budokan 2014. (Black Babymetal song. Black babymetal is Moa and Yui as a duo) 🦊🦊🦊

The only song of theirs that I really don’t like is ‘ Oh Majinai’ with Joakim from Sabaton. I’m also a little cool on the first half of the Metal Galaxy album because I find it a little too Pop for my taste but the back end of that album is some of my favourite material. I’m not upset by it at all though, I love the fact that Kobametal is willing to push the boundaries in every direction. That’s is what true artistry is all about.
