Sorry for the cuts, copyrights were rough with this one.😑

This is a special occassion where Moa takes over on her 20th Birthday. She also took over on her 15th Birthday as did Yui on her 15th birthday. if you paid attention to the first video you heard Su say Ichi Go quite often which means 15. The song is about a Girl going to her first concert on the night of her 15th birthday. In this version they replace ichi go (15) with hatachi (20). and as emprorchopchop stated there is a Momo version where Momo growls. If you search for Black Babymetal you will find four songs that Yui and Moa did as a duo, and a few times where Moa did them as a solo after Yui left.

After Yui left, they introduced “the avengers” to fill in the dancing space. Riho, Kano, and Momo (yes, the newest member, Momo) were 3 dancers on rotation. They supported babymetal from 2018-2021, however Momo was notably the only avenger that performed in 2021 and after. They never had mics, while Moa did. Moa did all of her and Yui’s lines instead of just her own. As of April of 2023, during the show Babymetal Begins - The Other One - Clear Night, Momometal became a new member of Babymetal, and now performs with a mic and has her own lines! She also got a new hairstyle to signify her being a member is different from her time being an unnamed “avenger”. Can’t wait for Momobanger to make its way to KZfaq next week!

Momo-banger concert was a few weeks ago. It's being streamed in Japan this Sat, so you should see it on YT by the end of the weekend

Nice reaction. Moa smirking while holding the mic up is so Kawaii. Moa tried her best Su imitation, but Moa has to be Moa and smirked. We love Moa for it too. Momoko got to do this for her birthday this year. We missed it last year. She became on official member after her birthday. They are all talented. It's a prerequisite for being in Babymetal. They next part is being Kawaii (Cute) is a whole vibe in Japan. And they can give you Kawaii overload at times. Soon to come Momobangaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Moa has such a sweet voice. It's hard not to picture baskets full of puppies and kittens when she sings. Su's voice is definitely more powerful. There is a reason she is the lead singer. She can go from sweet and delicate to full badass power in an instant. Try 'No Rain No Rainbow' or 'Shine' as examples. A good Moa video to watch is her solo of the song 'GJ' at 2021 Budokan. I don't think there is a KZfaq video of it however. Hopefully there is a link somewhere. I know you'll love it. About the live vocals, this is from pro-shots so there will be some post processing done to perfect the sound but I can tell you, and anyone else who has see them live can tell you, Su really is that good. You may hear an occasional wobble in her voice but it's 99% as good as what you hear in the videos.

👍Awesomely awesome💯. The One does not skip a BABYMETAL performance.😉 🦊🦊🦊 🖖❤

Well done getting this posted with as few cuts as you managed, I saw you were having trouble. 'Headbanger' was originally recorded and released in 2012, it is fair to say it is one of their older songs ... and it is still a banger! The first video you watched was from January 2023. Momoko became the official third member and got her mic in April 2023. From 2019 through to last year Su and Moa were continuing as a duo supported by 3 dancers (the Avengers Riho, Kano and Momoko) taking turns to dance in the third spot. Momoko was the only remaining Avenger after about March 2020. 'Headbanger' is about a girl going to her first concert on her 15th birthday. 15 is significant in Japan, that is when compulsory education ends, so the girl is realising she will no longer be considered as a child, she has to grow up and her first 15 years passed by so quickly. So she is etching this special night of her 15th into her heart so she will never forget. In 2014 at concerts on or near their own 15th birthdays Yui (in Paris) and Moa (in Cologne) were handed the mic and stand by Su and took over lead vocals for the second half of this song. The video you watched for Moabanger was a compilation and used clips from other concerts to get by copyright (so it may have had Momoko and Riho, Kano was definitely in it), but was mostly from the Legend M concerts in July 2019 celebrating Moa's 20th birthday. 20 is another significant age in Japan, that is when they are officially adults, so Moa took the lead again while Su stepped seamlessly into her place in the choreo. On March 2nd and 3rd this year, so only 3 or 4 weeks ago, they had the Legend MM concerts celebrating Momoko's 21st birthday. At the first of those they performed the Momobanger and that is being streamed in Japan on Saturday morning, so hopefully we will get to see it not too long after as well (some generous person normally manages to get the videos posted somewhere). Yes the vocals are live, Su-metal really does sound that good live - better than she does in the studio recordings. Moa has a lovely voice but nowhere near the power Su has (she is exceptional) and she prefers to concentrate on the dance aspect of their performance - she doesn't want centre stage and she loves listening to Su-metal sing. Yes they always have a live band. They are the Kami Band and have been supporting them in all their concerts since March 2014 and they played at a couple of festivals and the encores in some shows even before that - they first appeared in October 2012. The Kami Band of the East are Japanese session musicians who would swap in and out depending on their availability, but the same hard core of about 6 musicians played the vast majority of concerts. In 2019 the Kami Band of the West (American musicians) were brought in to support BABYMETAL on their more lengthy foreign tours.

Only SU-METAL can maintain the stamina and voice to move around the world in a year and choreograph and perform 13-14 songs in a METAL concert every three days.🦊😁🌈 And only MOA-METAL can afford to make the audience smile while performing intense choreography at that pace.😊❤ Promoted to official member after almost five years of dedicated back-up membership, young MOMO-METAL performed two lead songs in front of fans from all over the world at a special two-day concert held in their hometown of Yokohama on 2 March this year, from their birthday eve to the third day of their birthday.😊🎂

Yes Moa has a great voice after all she is a professional singer 😁 nearly as good as Su even Moa will laugh if you said that to her . Moa loves hearing Su sing she said it's like a Goddess/ angel came down to earth and started singing. Think you need to check out more Su vocal performances . Moa is a great performer and one hell of a dancer , but Su's vocals and stage presence is the reason for BabyMetal she was voted Number one female metal vocalists she sounds better live than studio . I have been to 5 shows not the huge ones but got close enough to hear Su sing she is that good, their courographer said Su does not know how great a dancer she is . Su not only knows her courography but Moa's as well . The pigtail thing was only done by Moa and Yui and only they have twin tails . Untill MoMo got made official member she did not have twin tales she been dancing with them since 2019 so not a try out . They just picked one of 3 for a show and Legend Metal Galaxy show all 3 backing dancers the Avengers as they where known took turns performing and all performed the closing song . Now she is officially a member she is microphone up and sings and takes part in interviews photo shoots and now has twin tails and does what Moa does . ❤❤❤

BABYMETAL is one of the concerts where if you don't follow the girls' command, you are the odd one out, ESPECIALLY in Japan. They switch singers for Headbanger anytime its someone's birthday. Headbanger is about a girl turning 15 and headbanging at a concert for her first time. This time, Moa did it for her 20th birthday. Beginning of this month, Momo did her version aka Momobanger. She turned 21. Watching the fan cams, no one is ready for Momo. That shit had me crying because I felt like a proud mom even though she's older than me by a few weeks. Momobanger has easily become my top version of Headbanger cuz NO ONE has done it like her. It was BABYMETAL history not because of it being Momo's first headbanger but for a different reason.

You need to watch Black Babymetal (Yui and Moa only, Su gets a break) They have about 4 songs.

Aside of this one, my favorite Moa performances are in Budokan 2021, songs: GJ! and Onedari Daisakusen. Highly recommended!

Crazy timing with the Headbanger reactions! because in 1 day the pro shot for MomoBanger will be released/streamed. As far as Moa songs theres GJ and Onedari Daisakusen. Momo has a defining part in the song Metali not really singing but it's a focus on her performance. She did sing in Meta Taro at her bday concert but that hasn't been 'officially' released yet. So theres still a lot more to come!

As mentioned, Momo was not an official member yet when these were recorded, so no mic. Kano Fujihara was the Avenger at the Legend M show, so you see her the most in the Moabanger video. You can see more of Kano by watching @onefive music videos.

Boy do I have a treat for you. Want to hear Moa sing? Babymetal was a "club" or subunit of their original full group Sakura Gakuin. A school themed idol group centered around girls ages 10-15. This idol group had subunits within the group representing school like extracurricular activities. Babymetal was the "Heavy Music" club. Moa and Yui (and Momo in 2018) were also in the "Cooking Club" named Mini Pati. Here's a good example, just one of many, of this group and of both Moa and Yui singing.

Thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。 (Other than Moabangeerr, there is Momobangeerr that was performed this month, March 2, Momometal's 20th year-old birthday.) Devilish evil smirk on the archangel's face ! Moabanger reminds me that Lucifer is a fallen angel 🤔 In Legend-M, "Moabanger" was the 12th song in the setlist. Moa sang it in a stable manner without getting short of breath after exhausting dancing for 11 songs + the first part of Headbanger until Su handed the mic to Moa. Only a huge amount of exercise as an athlete enables a girl to get such a big cardio capacity on top of training as a dancer. Her arms look dainty but I saw several photos showing her biceps brachii and brachioradialis in good shape that I admire as a workout lover 😄 。 She is another monster. No, lovely Moa-nstar. I was there at Makuhari show last year. "Dogeza" 「土下座」 (= kneel & bow until forehead touches the ground) is the most dishonorable way to show unconditional surrender or apology in Japan. We never see people doing it happily and smilingly in other place than BM concerts. I understood Dogeza became the most honorable way to show strong tie among BM mates in the world when I saw many people doing it at the Forum, LA on Oct.11, 2019. I really wanted to do it this year's show but I could not, because Budokan is all-seater arena..

Moa has the face and voice of an angel.

A few days ago, Momo sang headbanger and metataro for her birthday. The official video will be coming out soon, but you will be very surprised at how good she is at both singing and screaming. She definitely has the best scream. I'm so glad she was chosen for babymetal.

I hope to make it to a giant Japan show someday.. but my wife and I got to see them in Texas twice late last year! While they can't bring their massive production with them .. the trade off you get with these smaller foreign shows if you have extra money (vip1 tickets) and time (wait in line hours before), you get something I think is very special that you cannot get in Japan. VERY close to the stage! And .. the amount of personal interaction they did was mind blowing! My wife made me a pair of iridescent shoulder armor like what they currently wear .. we were maybe 6 feet from the stage in Dallas .. Moa noticed and laughed and waved at me. That kind of stuff is soooo fun and cool, they know they are making people's lives and they love it!!

Great fun reaction and not since their very early days have Babymetal performed to other than a backing band of the finest musicians (there are now two Kami Bands, East & West). Kobametal the genius behind Babymetal wanted to inject something new and unique into metal. He heard Su sing when she was only nine and knew at that point that here was a singer with the power to front his new metal concept. Which he started working on pretty much immediately. I'm sure others who know much more than me will fill you in on this but after Yui was forced due to health reasons to leave Babymetal for the next five years a series of various dancers filled in for her. Momo was one of those when finally in Spring of last year Momo was officially recognized as an official member of Babymetal. And consequentially also got her microphone. Love what you're doing keep it up and I'm looking forward to following your reactions.

"not gonna lie, bowing down on your knees, that's kinda crazy!" 🤘🦊🤘 #notacult

Nice one, thanks! They are always backed by an actual band: the Kami Band, as you noticed later on the second video. Both videos are compilations showing (at least) Momoko and Kano as the designated "Avenger" (backing dancer). Momoko got her mic in April 2023 when she became an official member. Yes, the Momobanger is also a thing. I witnessed it live in real life along 17.000 other fans earlier this month. The pro-shot will be available in a couple of days(hopefully). I've attended several of their shows in Europe and Japan and yes, Su-metal and the Kami Band sound incredibly good even live at the venue. 🤘🦊

Momobanger was on Legend MM day 1, Momo Taro on day 2. I've been so lucky to see both shows live, it's certainly a must do once😊. Legend MM day 1 live on wowow live tomorrow, with Momobanger! 18.30 JST time, so convert that to local time. Wowow live is on the television japonesa nihon tv app. 🤟

MOA is simple and absolutely Perfect!! No more words! Great react and channel Kitsune. See you! 🤟🦊🇯🇵🔥🔥🔥

The girls perform Headbanger on their BDays, There is a Yui Banger and Momo Banger where Momo gives a Blugh roar where the others scream. You can also see Moa perform on "Shining" 2019 where she plays the guitar solo. Also there is a Judas Priest colab where Moa and Yui play guitar.

We're waiting for the fancams and procams of the momobanger... Hint, she growls!

Epic!!! Whole new level of epicness!!! 🔥🔥🔥🤘🦊🤘

The Momo version isn't released officially yet :p It's only about a month old but the official version isn't out. Moa sings fine and all, but Su is just special.

GJ!

During the period after Yuimetal retired, they went through several different formations of dancers while they were trying to figure out how their setup for live shows should work with only Su and Moa. For a few in 2018 months they had two additional dancers, and then went back to the three on stage format, with a support dancer filling in Yui's old position. In 2019 they introduced the Avengers, to fill in the third position on a more consistent basis; the Avengers were Momoko Okazaki, Kano Fujihira, and Riho Sayashi. The Avengers weren't officially named, but fans figured out who they were pretty easily because they were all former members of other idol groups (Momoko and Kano were from Sakura Gakuin, and Riho was from Morning Musume). At the time the Avengers weren't presented as anything other than support dancers, and there was never any suggestion that they were trialing for a permanent role. Kano and Riho only served as a Avengers for a short time, and pretty soon, Momoko was the only Avenger for all shows from early 2020 onwards. The Makuhari Messe performance was in January 2023, so at the time Momoko was still an Avenger, which is why she didn't have a mic. She would officially become Momometal three months later at Babymetal Begins - The Other One: Black Night on April 1st 2023. Since you asked if any of us have been to Babymetal show in Japan, I was actually at the Makuhari show where this was filmed, and I was there in the crowd kowtowing for an eternity (I got a bit of a sore back doing it). The venue that it was held in was actually in a convention center, so the hall it was held in was like a huge aircraft hangar. The Kami Band was there in the arena, but they were down one end, and not visible in the video. It was the Japanese Kami Band playing at this show, so it was Takayoshi Ohmura (guitars), Isao Fujita (guitars), BOH (bass), and Hideki Aoyama drums). You should absolutely go and see them in Japan if you get the chance, but be warned, once you start going you won't be able to stop. I now go to all the big Babymetal headline shows; I've been to Japan three times in the last 18 months. And yes, Su-metal sounds amazing live. One of the things that really stands out about Babymetal is that they are better live than on the studio recordings. The Moabanger performance took place at Legend M, which was a concert held in Nagoya in Moa's home prefecture of Aichi to celebrate her 20th birthday in 2019. They do these special performances of Headbanger when it's one of the girls birthdays. They did Momobanger four weeks ago at Legend MM, which was to celebrate Momoko's 21st birthday (I also went to that one), which was just streamed on Wowow today, so it should be up online very soon. There are actually four songs that Moa and Yui used to sing without Su. When Moa and Yui performed without Su, they were called Black Babymetal. The Black Babymetal songs are "4 No Uta", "Onedari Daisakusen", "Sis Anger", and "GJ". If you watch the the Budokan 2021 version of Onedari Daisakusen, you will get to see Moa perform it solo. Another song you can check out that has a lot of Moa and Yui vocals is "Kimi To Anime Ga Mitai", which is a cover/response of the song "Anime With You" by Kiba of Akiba. Moa could probably lead her own group if she wanted to, but she has said in interviews that she doesn't like the pressure of performing lead vocals and prefers to support Su and focus on her dancing. How do you get to one of these shows? To optimize you chances, first you have to join the official fan club "The One", which you do by going to the Babymetal website and signing up (which is a complicated process in it's own right), then purchase the membership. Once you are a member, you have to wait for the announcement of the next concerts, and then enter the ticket lottery and hope you win. If you are a member of The One, you get two chances, because there is always a priority lottery round for members, and then there is a general round open to the public. At this stage, Babymetal have announced that they do not have any more major shows in Japan planned for the remainder of 2024 after FOX_FEST in late May.

Honestly? Kudos to you. I've been a fan since I was 12-13 years old so I had a lot of time to learn about them and their history. I'm amazed by the way you've been able to absorb so much information in such a quick period of time, and you don't even seem to mix up some of the details. Not gonna lie, if I were you I'd be a overwhelmed with the sheer amount of info lol

So far only fancams for MOMOMETAL Headbanger. Her singing voice is very kawaii. 💀

The moment Moa sings, this guy fell in love. LOL The look on your face said it all. 🤟🦊🤟

So the song is about a young girl who goes to her first rock concert on her 15th birthday. So on Moas birthday they let her take the lead. Recently they did a momobanger. They used to do a black babymetal where moa and Yui sing.You should do tales of the destinies live. It will blow your mind. The level of talent in the band is godlike.

The band is called „kami band“. They are probably the best musicians in a heavy metal scene band. E.g. Boh plays a six string bass.

Su was specifically chosen to front BABYMETAL for her extraordinarily powerful voice which won’t be overwhelmed by heavy music. The director at Amuse who discovered Su, who was also a metal head, was so impressed by her vocals personally chose her to be the lead for a jpop/metal fusion that he was thinking of creating. Su, Moa, Yui And Momoko were all part of an idol group called Sakura Gskuin which ran from 2010-2021. Su, Yui, and Moa worked together while Momo joined in 2015. Of course Moa can sing but she has said many a times that she liked where she is right now, if she ever broke away (which I highly doubt because she loves Su very much😊😊😊) she can definitely front her own pop Ish band. You can hear a lot of Yui and Moa during their times in Sakura Gakuin as they were in two other groups, as well as BABYMETAL Yes, everything Su sings is live except for a few exceptions. Her vocals, are that powerful, and I explained earlier that is how she was chosen because of her that trait.

Where are my Moa stans at? 👀

Momobanger happened just a couple of weeks ago , but all that we have right now are some janky fancam shorts -- hopefully we get a proper release at some point, cuz she did amazing. Yuibanger does exists ; but, again, only a janky fancam - no proper recording seems to exist. also, i agree -- Moa has an _amazing_ texture to her voice.

Special Headbanger version 'Moabanger' was from concert 'Legend M' (M for Moa) to celebrate her 20th birthday in 2019. It is a rare occurence and this was only the 2nd time they did Moabanger. In March 2024 Babymetal has a concert 'Legend MM' (MM for Momo) and we got the 1st Momobanger as well. We just now waiting for the Pro-Shot release. 🦊 There are technically no other Moa solo, but Moa and Yui has a duo called 'Black Babymetal' back when Yui was still in the band. 'Black Babymetal' is when Moa and Yui perform without Su, And 'Su's Solo' is where she perform without Moa and Yui. During Yui's hiatus due to health issues, there were a few times where Moa perform Black Babymetal songs by herself. That's about the only time we see Moa solo. I definitely suggest checking Black Babymetal song and Su Solo songs as well. There are 4 Black babymetal songs and 4 Su Solo songs. The one I would suggest are: Babymetal - 'Akatsuki' Live at Budokan 2014 (Su Solo). There's a full version and also 'Unfinished Version' (Basically just piano version like Monochrome). 'Akatsuki - Unfinished Version' is Live from 'Legend 1997' concert in 2013. Babymetal - 'Onedari Daisakusen' Live at Budokan 2014 (Black Babymetal). This is the song that Moa has performed by herself. The Moa only version is Live at Budokan 2021. Babymetal version of the 'Rabbit-Hole' is called the 'Fox-Hole'. We always welcome anyone who wants to dive in!! Enjoy!! 🤘🦊

You will absolutely love GJ! and Onedari Daisakusen from Budokan 2021, they will give you a great chance to hear Moa. GJ! - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qK2daMKivLTLhZc.htmlsi=Px_fzPbUAqQzXoMY Onedari Daisakusen - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f7mYg7appsvdlnk.htmlsi=4iLKqlMF83yDKg1V

I was at the Makuhari concert! It was truly amazing. Honestly even if it was a light show to recorded music I would've been happy but then to have them actually performing it was a crazy treat! And to be in the crowd screaming out all together is a crazy feeling! And they do really sing that well live! :) Also a Moa only song is GJ! which is totally worth a listen!

Great reaction man! Moa is amazing! Can't wait for you to watch the new Momobanger!

Oh there’s an epic live version of this one..

The names of BM's own headlining concerts are a mouthful (the fans prefer to use their abbreviated names eg. 'Legend [insert here]' or just the venue + year) & they also like to host them in pairs on consecutive nights (calling them eg. 'Black/Red/Clear Night' etc. according to "lore"). So bear with me as I give you the lowdown. Indeed, the first clip you watched was from the 'Babymetal RETURNS: Black Night/Clear Night' gigs (Jan 28-29, 2023) at Makuhari Messe in Chiba. Momo was still then an Avenger (not miked), while the musicians were the East Kami Band (Ohmura, Isao, Boh, Aoyama). Sidetracking here: Don't mistake it with the 'Babymetal BEGINS: Black Night/Clear Night' gigs a few months later (Apr 1-2, 2023) at PIA Arena MM in Yokohama. The latter shows featured the West Kami Band, while Momo was only fully promoted during the encore of the first show ('Black Night'), namely the 'Babymetal Death Shin (New) Version' lore storytelling segment (which was omitted during the January setlist). She got to wear a mike during the cruxification scene & for the finale song 'Jime, Dame, Zettai'. The next night ('Clear Night'), she was miked throughout & got to introduce herself during 'Death' (to loud audience cheers), which also featured a new spoken-word sequence (Su/Moa/Momo instead of Su/Yui/Moa). The second clip you saw (Moabanger) was from the older 'Babymetal ARISES: Legend M' gigs (July 6-7, 2019) at Portmesse Nagoya in Nagoya (Moa's hometown). It featured the aforementioned East Kami Band, except Leda replaced Isao. Moa took to the mike on both nights, otherwise the difference was Rihometal was the 3rd BM member on the first show while Kanometal took over for the second show. Momo sat out entirely. BM's songs go way back to their early teens &, while some like 'Gimme Chocolate' & the Black Babymetal repertoire kinda stood still in time, other oldies like 'Megitsune', 'Headbanger', 'Death' would take on different meanings as the girls got older. 'Headbanger' would further take on extra significance because each BM member would perform it later on to commemorate her (15th & 20th) birthdays. The song lyrics are about a 15-year-old attending her first metal concert, elated but also realizing her life was changing, & determined to make it a special night. First released in 2012, it was initially yearning about future events since BM was then only 13-15 year olds at that time. Subsequently, Su's 16th-birthday version at the 'Legend 1997' gig (Dec 21, 2013) at Makuhari Messe caught the sentiments of the fans, so BM decided to continue celebrating certain life milestones together in concert with the song. The next year, to mark their 15th birthdays during the European leg of their world tour, Yui took to the mike at the informally billed 'Legend Y' gig (Jul 1, 2014) in Paris, & Moa did the same two days later at the similar 'Legend M' gig (July 3, 2014) in Cologne. KZfaq has low-resolution fancams of both performances, with the sound artificially upscaled. Search with the keywords 'Yui/Moa ver + 2014 + city'; I believe 'Yuibanger' also works due to reuplods. A few years later, Su would commemorate her 20th birthday with the song during the "Legend S - Baptism XX" gigs (Dec 2-3, 2017) at the Hiroshima Green Arena in Hiroshima (her hometown). This time, she changed the lyrics from 'ichigo no yoru o' (the night of my fifteenth) to 'hatachi no yoru o' (the night of my twentieth). If correct, only the audio currently exists on KZfaq, but it is otherwise available as part of the concert's 4K video release. Another two years later, to commemorate her own 20th, Moa went viral with her take (with the changed lyrics) at the aforementioned 2019 gigs at Nagoya. Unfortunately, the pandemic impeded any 25th birthday version from Su in 2022. BM decided to take a break after completing their 10 Babymetal Budokan gigs of 2021. Earlier this month, to celebrate her birthday, Momo got her turn at the mike (ditto with the changed lyrics) during the 'Legend MM - 20 Night/21 Night' gigs (Mar 2-3, 2024) at Yokohama Arena. The venue wasn't at her hometown, but the timing was pinpoint as she turned from 20 to 21 years old between the two shows. The '20 Night' show was broadcast earlier tonight (Mar 30), while the '21 Night' is slated for Apr 21. We should get the official Momobanger clip on KZfaq thereafter.

"I do enjoy singing. But when it comes to BABYMETAL, I don’t think that’s my role, so I have no particular desire to sing here. Instead of singing myself, I love listening to SU-METAL’s singing, more" Moa in 2019 As I love Su' voice, I really enjoy Moa's voice especially in onedari daisakusen and GJ but I agree with her too, I think Su's voice suits their songs in a little bit more than Moa's. Anyway I hope we will heard a bit more of Moa and Momo's voices in the future And as always they killed the dance ✨

I believe it was the Avenger Riho that performed with Su and Moa. She was also in the MV for Shanti Shanti Shanti.... check it out, great song and Choreo.

Always bow to the queens

Yes, itcwas quite devestating. No one really expected that Moa would have this Kind of voice. But the big Problem was Moa herself felt it was too much work and stress. Yes to the biggest part these are their real voices, but for Moa the Solo artist is to much the Center of the whole production. Sheclikes to stay in the background, so the New Leave it all behind might be a solution.

ありがとうございます🤘🦊♪

MOMOBanger will be out soon I guess. She had her moment at the end of the last world tour. So far there were only phone recordings out there from her part. They seemed to have vanished now, guess Amuse did their thing again :D

They will be performing in San Francisco April 24 and 25. I’m going to both and can’t wait!

Their backing band is called the Kami band. Check out the Japanese Kami band in Catch Me If You Can Live with intro OR Rondo of Nightmare live with intro. In more recent stuff, you'll see the western Kami band.

Great job reacting and navigating the label bs👊🏽⚡️👊🏽⚡️🦊🤘🏾

yes bow to the metal queen su metal

I want to the Babymetal concert in Houston Tx. last year. It was the best concert I have been to, I want to see a concert in Japan.

Moa has previously said that while she doesn't mind doing the occasional solo she prefers the role of "second" as she doesn't feel comfortable being the centre of attention all the time, so she's happy for Su to be the "centre". In idol bands there is always a "center" who lends the group in performances and is supported by the "seconds". Sometimes these positions rotate or change for specific songs, but with Babymetal Su is the permanent centre.

Moa performed two black babymetal songs by herself. Both are really good!

このモアバンギャーの時のアベンジャーは RIHOMETALだった気がします。

Great reaction! Headbanger is a quintessential Babymetal classic from their early days. Here's some additional info, and apologize if any repeats: *Makuhari Concert:* Jan 2023, 1st show Babymetal played live since their hiatus mid 2021. Also, the last show where they had the original Japanese Kami Band (who supported them since 2012), unfortunately, due to stage set up and camera cuts, we rarely got to see them at this concert video. Afterwards, Kami Band West became Babymetal's primary band. *Moabanger:* 2019 show, the mic-hand off is a Babymetal tradition to celebrate member's birthdays (this is Moa's 20th). They've done this for Yui and Moa's 15th birthday before. Also, you are correct, this Moabanger is spliced videos from multiple shows to circumvent copyrights, or it will never see the light of day on KZfaq. *Momometal:* Just celebrated her 21st birthday with a Momobanger begining of March this year! She has the best scream, as she actually growled multiple times! *Avengers:* 2019 - 2020, Riho, Kano, and Momo are the 3 rotating backup dancers to the 3rd spot, never has a mic. Riho and Kano went on to do their own projects, so Momo stayed on as the only avenger, until her becoming official Apr 1st 2023. Afterwards, she has a mic as well. Look forward to more Babymetal! 🤘🦊

just a thing that you may have missed. Those ponytails that Moa rocks are also called "Bangs", so Head Bangs, that's why they grab them in their coreography

yes they have a backing band

With both performances there is a band; with Moabanger it is the original Kami Band sans Mikio, and with the newer one it is the American version of the Kami Band. Some early performances had backing tracks, but ones recorded by metal instrumentalists . Original member Yui had left and they were still using one of three Avengers to fill in the third spot. Here it is Kano (now with @one.five), and the other was Riho . Momo was the third in the following World tour until COVID stopped it.. And yes, Su’s main vocals were always live.

The band is the kami band, they are god tier musicians. They love playing for BM as they are told to play as loud as they like, Su-Metal can sing over them no matter what.

Moa (in her enthusiasm ) holds the scream longer than Su does which does help it sound more impactful.

5:12 what is even more funny and it's on purpose of course: the form of traditional Japanese bowing was mostly used for bowing to a wiser/elder.person. 🙂

Held that last note perfectly. 🥰

I was there for the Makuhari show in 2023. My first large BABYMETAL show, I had seen them once before during 2020 in Europe. I was there bowing somewhere 😂. It's probably been mentioned but this was the last show (technically second last?) of Momo being just a dancer, as she would join officially around 2 months later.

I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this yet but you should also check out Headbanger (Yuibanger) version

I got the chance to see them a few months ago with Dethklok. It was a really, really fun show. And Su does sing like this live.

I had the same reaction when Moa stood up to sing!!!

Moa and Yui has 4 songs without Su (duet) Onedari Daisakusen GJ! Sis.Anger Song 4 When Yui leave , first two songs Moa perform solo. (2021 at Budokan) U can find duet and solo versions.

Everyone loves Moa. Didn't you see Shogun? Tradition plays a huge roll in showing their respect for BabyMetal.

Saw babymetal and was lucky enough to be at the barricade, SO much fun. They had great energy, and yes Su does sound great live but would sometimes get drowned out by the loud instrumentals

Long time Moa Fanboy - I could watch this over and over ❤ And yes, why don’t they give her more solo songs!!! She deserves it.

Search for Babymetal - love machine its from way back and its Moa doing a solo number live.

I've been to a few concerts of theirs and it's an experience you'll never forget. The big ones in Japan are amazing but imo the smaller venues are better because if you're up the front you may get a smile or a bit of interaction with the three super ladies. Momometal had a laugh at my expense because my phone light wouldn't turn on during Monochrome, and Su-metal gave me a couple of cute smiles when she saw me waving my Sakura Gakuin flag. In person the music sounds good but the voice of Su-metal is a lot higher than I expected. Still very good, and amazing experiences every single time! It may be a little too early for you to dip your toe into the world of Sakura Gakuin yet but as a Moa stan I think you'll really enjoy this. It's Heart no Hoshi and you'll get your Moa fix... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ftClhLOnm8y9hKc.htmlsi=nFNYYp9u1NnAdGKL

The crowd does not bow to the band. They bow to the Fox God. Su-Metal's support girls get a turn on the microphone during Headbanger on their birthday. And yes there is a version where Momo-Metal is on the microphone.

"GJ!" and "Onedari Daisakusen " live at Budokan 2021for just Moa singing. For all the girls but extra Moa 🥰😛 factor, great ones in my opinion are "Kagerou" with Kami band intro, "Night Night Burn", and "Shanti Shanti Shanti "

We all felt the same way the first time we saw this a few years ago.

Yea, Moa's a lil beast!!! Moa's voice is very beautiful too! Hope to see some Sakura Gakuin

Bin to a concert in a smaller venue. But it's enough to suck you in. And to your question: yes, that is her life voice.

I've been twice in one year (2023)😁 and they're playing next month in my country again so I'm planning to go 😊

There is a live version of Onedari Daisakusen which is really really great, Moa sings alone on this one. You should listen it.

Theres another Moa song. She does a cover for "Love machine" a morning musume song. Its on youtbe.

Moa is so bubbly and adorable

Moa has done several songs by herself - mostly Black Baby Metal solo's (after Yui left) (2018-2023?), also other headbangers - a cover called "love machine" (very cute if a little inappropriate at her age at the time :P), and Sakura Gakuin stuff (whole other can of worms but VERY fun and entertaining) - and probably other stuff I can't remember. Great reaction - and if you like Headbanger then probably it's worth looking at Headbanger Legend 97 (a brilliant concert with loads of tracks you won't hear again too). And yes - she has a lovely warm distinctive voice on the rare occassions you hear it (and I prefer her scream to Su's :P) - hopefully the "scream and shout" girls will return more front and centre audio wise now Momo is mic'd up at last.

Moametal - Love Machine, Yuimetal - Chokotto Love, any Black Babymetal

if you want to listen to moa singing .check out black babymetal song with yui & moa duo-sis anger / GJ i🦊

That's KanoMetal you're noticing there. Kano is now in a group of other Sakura Gakuin graduates called ONEFIVE.

Momo at that time was not an official member of babymetal. That's why she didn't have a microphone and a few days ago she uploaded a momobanger ❤

The subtitles are cracking me up. Lol

It was a little odd when they were young, but I like heavy music fronted by a beautiful femanine voice, so this makes total sense to me.

Kami Band playing live! They are insanely talented! Many are already successful from other projects, but join Babymetal for a while.

The kami band are incredible

Headbanger is a song about a girl going to her 1st metal concert, on her 15th birthday. So, the other girls sing it when it's their bday, but ASFAIK, it only happened on the 15th and 20th bdays. Legend M is for Moa's 20th. Look for Babymetal "Love Machine". It's a Moa solo. You have also "Chokoto Love" for Yui solo. Look for any Black Babymetal (they have four songs only), for both Yui and Moa, no Su. And yes, all of the girls from Babymetal could've been great singers on their own, but Su is just "built differently". If you want to, look for J-Pop singer Riho Sayashi. She was one of the Avengers (the newbies you mentioned), and now she has a nice solo carrier. Moa's scream at the end *was* a better scream than Su's... Because it was one. Su doesn't scream, she belts. Not saying Moa is incapable of belting, but Su sure is. And as for kneeling for our Queen?! That's what The One does. 🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻 #notacult
