From the first day I heard Su-Metal sing it was an experience like no other. I can't explain why, but her voice reaches right down into my soul. No one else in my 53 years of life has come even close to doing that. A day has not gone by in the last 2 1/2 years where I have not listened to at least one song. Usually it's a LOT more than one song. Yes!! It's an addiction! haha

No relation at all between anyone. This is a creation of Key Kobayashi is the mastermind, and the group as a whole is owned by Amuse Inc Talent Agency. Babymetal itself was born out of another group named Sakura Gakuin. A developmental Japanese Idol Group (a group Amuse uses to train and promote young female talent between 10-15 years old with interest in Singing, acting, dancing, and Modeling) in which Suzuka Nakamoto (22), Yui Mizuno (20), Moa Kikuchi (20) and 2 of the three Avengers Kano Fujihara (15) and Momoko Okazaki (16) were apart of. (Kano is still a member and current student council president/ leader of Sakura Gakuin.) Suzuka graduated (Left the group) from Sakura Gakuin as President in March 2013, Moa graduated as president in March 2015, Yui graduated also in March of 2015. Momoko graduated in March of 2018, and Kano will graduate in March of 2020. Yui original member of Babymetal last performance with Babymetal was in October of 2017 due to injury, she would not officially leave the group until October of 2018 due to that injury. Also in January of 2018 one of their lead guitarist Mikio Fujioka saddly died after a fall off an observation deck while star gazing with his family leaving behind a wife and child. 2018 was a very difficult year for the Babymetal family and compounded the problem due to lack of communications with fans. It was a very frustrating time for the fandom as they would explain nothing about Yui if she was okay (The Yui issue grew into a cult onto itself that is still a minor annoyance). Dealt a bad hand Kobayashi tried to salvage 2018 by adding 2 nameless back up dancers with no explanation (what you saw in the Distortion Download video). Later identified as Minako Maruyama, and Minami Tsukui. It was an overall mess. A series of shows in October 2018 had 5 backup dancers and though a spectacle was very disjointed as Moa disappeared in the crowd. They ended the year returning to the triangle formation of just one backup dancer in the form of Saya Hirai, which brought some stability to the fandom. 2019 season started in Yokohama with the debut of the Avengers concept, Three randomly rotating dancers that will fill the third slot in the triangle formation. Which they explained, as communication with the fandom returned. Momoko and Kano from Sakura Gakuin and the third, the very talented Riho Sayashi a graduate from the professional idol group Morning Musume, a group with no direct relationship with Sakura Gakuin, or Babymetal's parent company Amuse Inc. However went to the same performance art school called Art School Hiroshima or ASH together, when they were between the ages of 13-15. They were considered friendly rivals. That is Babymetal in a nutshell.

You're burning through Babymetal so fast you're gonna be into the Sakura Gakuin catalog soon. :)

⚡ / ☂️ 🌈 This performance of 'No Rain, No Rainbow' is great. The Tokyo Dome performance is even better. And the Legend S - Baptism XX performance is the best yet. Of course that's comparing Su at 16 and at 20 years old. BTW, the comparison you need (and don't know about) is X-Japan. Especially the songs 'Silent Jealousy' and 'Endless Rain'. Suzuka isn't related to anyone in the band, although her father was in a rock group called the Hooligans before she was born. And her middle sister Himeka is a former member of the Idol group Nogizaka46.

I don't know how many dozens of times I have listened to this song, and it still brings tears to my eyes every single time. It's so good, and Su delivers it so perfectly. Her eyes after that last note are incredible. On another note, I don't think I have ever heard any other band with dual guitar harmonies sounding so perfect live.

Love this song! Guitar solos are really nice. Su doing her thing! "SYNCOPATION"

Her voice just gets better as she gets older very emotional song.

Su best version of this is Legend s but no version is a bad version she kills it every time . She puts so much emotion into her performance. 🤘😍🤘

Yes, definitely shades of an 80s power ballad here. This is a tribute or homage to 'Endless Rain' by X Japan.

Great reaction🤘🤘the fox hole going more deeper. Da da dance is from new album☺️

The girls started when young in BABYMETAL (13 and 11) - 2020 is the 10th anniversary for the group. Sumetal is now 22 and Moa is 20. Early on partly due to the physical demands of their concerts they would often split. Sumetal would do solos while Yui/Moa had a break then Yui/Moa would perform (known as BLACK BABYMETAL) while Su had a break. Recently the girls being older (and Yui having left in 2017 due to ill health) they have not done any solos.

Truthfully all the girls voices scratched my ears at first but thankfully I think that's part of what shocked me into the baby metal universe now I have found as time goes on that I appreciate them more and more no not appreciate I'm just enjoying they sure grow on you

Bow down to the Queen...Nuff said!

As a simple note of little info, the name of the hall is the "Nippon Budokan" or "Nihon Budokan" and the original purpose of this building was to... i´m not sure about the word (english isn´t my 1st language) to be the place to celebrate in the Olympic games of 1964 the competition of Judo and Karate, the ist group to use this place as a concert venue was no less than the Beatles in 1966. Artists like Led Zeppelin or Eric Clapton to concerts in this place. Anyway is a popular place for concerts because have a very access in Tokyo. The Budokan is so "centric" that is literally inside of part of the walls of the Imperial Palace (in a public part where is also a popular garden among other facilities. It´s inside a beautiful place, to access you must cross a bridge over a water trench who encircle the grounds of the imperial palace and cross a very big wood gates in a great wall of stone to enter this place, the Budokan is one of the buildings inside. Is also interesting to compare this version of the song with the one of Tokyo Dome and the version of Hiroshima (among the ones to easy access in youtube) because you can feel who the voice of Suzuka changes over the years and gets more deeper and with more control. No much songs let her use her voice like this one. The change is inevitable, she was about 16 in the Budokan, about 17 in the Tokyo Dome and 19 in Hiroshima so some changes are normal (near 20 years, the concert was less than a month before her birthday)

Legend S Baptism XX is the definitive version of this song, she is 4 years older and understands what the song is about and she sings in full voice like a seasoned pro.

This is a very emotional power ballard. She was just 16 year old here! If you thought this was good watch the version from Baptism XX, Legend S show. She was turning 20 for that show - that version was literally her special birthday show in front of her home town of Hiroshima. She felt more mature for that version and it is an amaziingly powerful version. This song is VERY rarely sung live (only a few times ever). kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pqqXpNJny8nQmY0.html BABYMETAL as you have noticed just have this huge diverse rang of songs. No song is ever the same as another. Also no Sumetal is not related to either Yuimetal or Moametal nor any of the band. (The Kami band are in fact a group of exceptionally talented session muscians that get pulled in for their concerts. Though usually the same small group).

No Rain, No Rainbow (eng below) Dooshite nemure-nai no? Dooshite yoru wa owaru no? Ira-nai nani mo, ashita sae mo, kimi ga i-nai mirai. Dooshite waratteta no? Dooshite samishikatta noni? Dare mo shira-nai, hontoo wa tada soba ni ite hoshikatta. Zetsuboo sae mo hikari ni naru. Yama-nai ame ga furi tsuzuite mo. Zetsuboo sae mo hikari ni naru. Kanashii ame ga niji o kakeru yo, doko made mo. Nidoto ae-nai kedo wasure-naide itai yo. Yume ga tsuzuku nara same-nai de. Dooshite waratteta no? Dooshite samishikatta noni? Dare mo shira-nai, hontoo wa tada ai-tai. Sore dake datta. Zetsuboo sae mo hikari ni naru. Yama-nai ame ga furi-tsuzuite mo. Zetsuboo sae mo hikari ni naru. Kanashii ame ga niji o kakeru yo, ima mo. Yama-nai ame ga kokoro mitasu yo, itsu made mo. ---------------------------------- Why can't I sleep? Why does the night end? I don't want anything, even tomorrow, the future without you. Why was I smiling? Why so though feeling lonely? Nobody knows that I really just wanted you to be by my side. Even the despair becomes the light. Though an endless rain continues to fall. Even the despair becomes the light. A sad rain throws a rainbow far far away. We shall never meet again, but I want not to forget you forever. If the dream continues, I wish I'll never wake up from it. Why was I smiling? Why so though feeling lonely? Nobody knows that I really just wanted to see you. That was all. Even the despair becomes the light. Though an endless rain continues to fall. Even the despair becomes the light. A sad rain throws a rainbow even now. An endless rain fills my heart forever.

In 90's her father are bassist of punk rock band named "Hooligan"..check this out..

She wears that cape also for Akatsuki 🤘🦊⚡

A great song and the best version you can find on Legend S, there's a video on their official channel, please check that out. It's so emotional!

She has an older sister she used to perform with prior to being in Sakura Gakuin way back maybe 10 years ago, that's about as much as I know there for family members...

I dont think you've heard any of their songs in their new album Metal Galaxy Only da da dance and pa pa ya and bxmxc you heard There is also Kagerou Shine Arkadia Starlight Night night burn (my fav) Shanti shanti shanti Distortion In the name of Bbab Elevator girl Brand new day Oh majinai Future metal

If you've noticed, this song is similar to Endless Rain by X-Japan in several ways and you can find mash-up of these two songs on KZfaq.

Amore.....

And BTW to ME this version is the best, not sung better but more emotions in her voice here clearly! And that's MY thing. Love her voice anyway.

Absolutely Love them

Ooh I wish you reacted to the Legend S one where Su almost breaks down😭👑

To think Su wasn't pleased with her performance of this song here; she did not in her opinion project the emotion under the well enough. After this performance they retired No Rain No Rainbow from performance for a couple of years, and it was not on their first album; it did make the second. Su is not related to a band member. Her dad played bass for the rock band the Hooligans for a decade, and perhaps because of that he is good friends of Hrionobu Kageyama, a founding member of the super group The JAM Project. Kageyama refers to Su-metal as feeling like his daughter in interviews, and she has performed by herself with the JAM project in the guise of Su-metal, which was unusual. Babymetal also appeared with the JAM Project once in a Rock Beats Cancer show. Hideki Aoyama is often the drummer of the JAM project. Hideki is not the original drummer of Babymetal though, nor the only one. Kageyama is huge in the industry though. The JAM project is a super group of artists who have hits singing anime songs. If your looking for connections, he would be the one but it is speculation at best.

This is beautiful (though the lyrics are heartbreaking) but even Su knew she was not quite mature enough to give it all the power it needs and, at the Legend S - Baptism XX concert, when she turned 20, she finally got to give it her all - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pqqXpNJny8nQmY0.html . PS Su's not related to anyone in the band but does have a sister who performs in another band.

Songs that you should react to: 1. Baby Metal singing Pain Killer and Breaking the Law with Rob Halford of Judas Priest. Totally bonkers. In Breaking the Law Yui and Moa play the guitar! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ga2PmdSc3rCRp6M.html 2. GJ! - Yui and Moa rock out as Su takes a break 3. Baby Metal singing Breaking the Law with The Red Hot Chili Peppers Chad Smith and at the end the entire audience sings Happy Birthday to Su Metal kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ismoocqIm92ZoWQ.html

holy moly another video, I'm catching these right as I finish another of your previous videos. I dunno if I can keep up with your pace xD

Arkadia

I think I read about Su having a sister who was in another group but no one in the band is related to any of the girls as far as I know. Wait till you find songs where her accent nearly vanishes and she is better able to use her full range in English.

Su has 3 sisters the older sister Himeka Nakamoto was a member of a famous idol group called Nogizaka 46 . Aawww s##t Rick beat me to it and with more information 🤘😳🤘

good reaction to my opinion is one of the ballads with the saddest melody of the songs that sing alone SU, with all your reactions you just need to react to UKI UKI MIDNIGHT and you will completely complete the first album, you are the first youtuber that I see you love so much with babymetal and so close to react all your albums

BabyMetal song Doki Doki , they really young

I wonder where did you get the idea of someone from the Kami Band being related to SuMetal? 🤔 🦊🤘

Hey T-Mac can you do reaction video to BabyMetal at Music Dragon TV Show to see difrend site of girls btw this video is really fun to watch

Boo - DOH - kahn

This had to a emotional song for her she lost yui and then after this show she looses a band mate yui first time out due to sicknesses she never came back bm had a rocky road for a while

I love bandmaid,Babymetal,maximum the horumon……and Crystal lake. Please react Crystal lake.Apollo and Devilcry. They are amazing band,metal core sound and beautiful melody.

Now when you are at Su-metal solos - take a listen to this cover song Babymetal made from an old Anime title song. Listen to the original first before hearing Su-metal shoot it out of the park. Original: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/leB7jcp3t7WdqHk.html Babymetal: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qtZlpLOJx6qtnas.html

Bro react to syncopation

Babymetal was a manufactured band. The only real relationships are Yui and Moa's friendship since they were around 6 and the fact that they and Su went to the same school. The girls ARE Babymetal. The band was made around Su's voice. The Kami Band was actually brought in a few years later to back up the girls. Until that time they just used session bands.

no theres no relationship between the band and girls
