Hey it’s Roguenjosh, I also post 2 reactions per day on this channel too!

Babymetal is one of those bands that give you everything and more when you go to their live shows and this song is definitely a "headbanger" that's for sure 🖤🤘

Fantastic live song, always gets the crowd pumped!

Nice & thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。When BABYMETAL performed in Australia (Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane) in 2018, they did not perform this song (And in any show in 2018, I guess). Since July 2019, they performed it in almost all shows, so you may see it live when you have a chance. In this video, you heard the crowd shout some words at 04:08. The words are "ki-e-ro 消えろ!" meaning "get out of here!". This shout in Japanese comes out wherever they go on this planet and whenever Su-Metal directs her mic towards audiences.

The best part of being at a live performance is being part of a cowd that is just as much of a part of the show as the band. Practicing the calls and responds is so much fun. The story of that song is fantastic too, the transliteration of the lyrics is worth looking into, Josh!

Moa says "Minna no koe zenzen sukunai yo" which means "Everyone's voices are too soft" Yui says "Mada mada zenzen tarahen" which means "It's still not nearly enough" (don't know why she's using Kansai dialect) They're just egging on the crowd to cheer louder.

Your favorites will change a lot the more Babymetal song you discover.

Great reaction - and the next BABYMETAL song you hear will be your favourite too LOL. I was so happy they had this back on the set list for the 2020 UK and Europe tour, I got to experience it live for myself which I had wanted to from the very first time I heard it ... and joining in with all the chants and jumps etc, shouting "KI ER O" with everybody as Su held up the mic ... brilliant. 'Headbanger' is about a girl going to her first (metal?) concert on her 15th birthday, but it is also a sort of coming of age thing. 15 is when compulsory education ends in Japan, so she is taking that first big life decision - further education, start a career, something else perhaps. She is realising that she will never be considered a child again, those first 15 years passed by so quickly and life will never be the same, so she is etching this special night of her 15th into her heart so she will never forget. It is not biographical - they recorded this when Su was still only 14, but I'm sure she could relate. At shows on or near their own 15th birthdays Yui and Moa were each handed the mic and stand ceremoniously by Su half way through the song and they each took over the lead vocals for the second half (only fancam videos exist for both those shows in 2014). The same thing happened at the Legend M show in 2019 for Moa's 20th birthday (the real coming of age to becoming an adult in Japan). You can find the 'Moabanger' from Legend M on the Babymetal Reactor Resource spreadsheet. That one was really special.

Usually in the first or second reaction, fans will recommend this song. And there are four or five different versions of this song, each with different surprises.

Headbanger (Babymetal song):- "Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!" (ヘドバンギャー！！, Hedobangyā!!) is a single by the Japanese heavy metal band Babymetal. Released in Japan on July 4, 2012 in promotion for the album Sakura Gakuin 2012 Nendo: My Generation, the single serves as the third single from the debut album Babymetal. It is also the band's first solo audio release to be released commercially. •Single: Babymetal. •Album: Babymetal and Sakura Gakuin 2012. •Nendo: My Generation. •Language: Japanese. •Released: July 4, 2012. •Genre: Power Metal, Heavy Metal. •Length: 14:44. •Label: Juonbu. •Songwriter: Edometal, Nakametal, Narasaki. •Producer: Kobametal. •Narametal: (arrangement). Babymetal singles chronology:- "Babymetal / Kiba of Akiba": (2012) "Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!": (2012) "Ijime, Dame, Zettai": (2013) Background and release:- Unlike previous tracks released by the band, which had her vocal recorded in segments within the songs, Nakamoto had her lines recorded in a single take several times. She had been told to sing and find a story within the music. By the time she had comprehended the story behind the lyrics, she grew capable of singing the entire song naturally. When Mizuno and Kikuchi listened to her shouting "Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!" for the first time, they felt as if they had seen another cool side of her, surprised by the vocal power. Additionally, the single introduced the members to the whispering style of singing, with the A-side's "Kiero!" (Disappear!) and the B-side's "Uki Uki Midnight". Kobametal was inspired to use it to contrast traditional death growls. "Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!" was announced as a single on April 27, 2012, with a release date set for July 7, 2012. The single was released in two versions: a standard edition, available via CD and digital formats, and a physical limited Hedo-ban ("Head edition"), which contains a CD and a "neck corset" (actually a cervical collar) for headbanging training.[5] Both editions of the single feature the songs "Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!" and "Uki Uki ★ Midnight" (ウ・キ・ウ・キ★ミッドナイト, "Exhilarating Midnight"), along with instrumental versions (labeled as "Air Vocal ver."). The standard version contains an enhanced CD with a bonus music video of "Babymetal Death", which can only be played on a computer. The artwork of the standard edition depicts a lyric in the song, specifically when the girl is headbanging with the corset, with the crimson-colored moon in the background, as well as the band name appearing at the top. The limited edition artwork depicts a temple scripture of the "Corset of Legend" with the song title spelled out in the middle. Before the physical international release of the song, its title was written ambiguously as either "Head Bangya!!" or "Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!", the latter of which is officially used in the international re-release of Babymetal and all future releases. The music video uploaded to the band's KZfaq channel initially had the former name, though it was switched to the latter in 2015; the version uploaded by Toy's Factory consistently retained the official title. Tekina Remix:- During the live performances Legend "D" Su-metal Seitansai at Akasaka Blitz on December 20, 2012, and Legend "1997" Su-metal Seitansai at Makuhari Messe on December 21, 2012, a remix titled "Night of 15 mix." was performed, containing more elements of electronic music. The former took place on Suzuka Nakamoto's actual fifteenth birthday, while the latter was the opening song for the concert. Remixed by DJ'Tekina//Something, the song was later released as part of Social Reform promotional editions of the single "Ijime, Dame, Zettai", and later appeared on DJ'Tekina//Something's remix album Kawa-EDM (2016), re-subtitled as "Tekina Remix".

You're right, Headbanger is their best song. :) I kinda wish you hadn't watched a compilation video, since I feel like it makes it harder to follow what's going on with all the cuts between completely different shows, but at least you went into it knowing it was a compilation. If you want to watch an uncut performance of this song on your own time, there are a couple good options on YT: Legend 1997 and Budokan. 4:40 "What the...?" Lol, I had the same reaction at first. The lyrics there are talking about "the legendary long black hair" - it's a Japanese cultural thing; if you want to learn more look up 'Du-metal Babymetal Headbanger lyrics' or something similar, and you'll find a blog with unofficial translations that include a lot of helpful cultural context. Hope to see more Babymetal from you soon!

Nice!!! Please next Babymetal - Ijime, Dame, Zettai Live at Sonisphere 2014 🤘🦊

They grab their hair because there is "her legendary hair dancing gorgeous in the air" in lyrics.

This is my favorite BabyMetal song too, with Kagerou and Catch Me If You Can rounding out my top 3.

It is moments like 3:03 to 3:35 that suggest that BABYMETAL is in fact #notacult. Yep Nothing to see here! Also let's be real here which ever BABYMETAL song plays next is going to be your favorite lol. It's an undeniable force. Btw you could react to more songs from BABYMETAL with Kamiband Intros like Kagerou or Catch me if you can (Live from Tokyo Dome). Those are undoubtedly some of the most awesome versions of their songs.

I agree, Headbanger is my favorite also. Su's voice has gotten even better with age. There is a version with Moa doing the last part...

Is he ready for: Babymetal Death. Legend of 1997 concert?

This song is pure energy! But then again...so is the next one...

Every single babymetal song is the best song!

Legend Metal Galaxy, that's it

Hell yeah! HeadBanger is totally a Banger!🔥🤘

My favourite Babymetal song is whichever Babymetal song I'm listening to at any given moment.

Thank you for the wonderful video ★ I have watched this video many times.

My Babymetal list: 1. Rondo of Nightmare 2. Road to Resistance 3. Headbanger 4. Pa Pa Ya 5. Kingslayer (BMTH feat Su-Metal) 6. Akatsuki 7. Megitsune 8. Ijime, Dame, Zhettai 9. BxMxC 10. Catch Me if You Can Although, almost all the song from Babymetal is very good too. This list in my first playlist everyday music. Please do reaction again to Babymetal. It's fun, full of energy and everlasting. 😁

Your favorite stage also moves back and forth (slides into the back stage like a puzzle piece) and lifts about 20 feet into the air. The back stage has two platforms that are either flat (level with the diamond section forming one level stage) or they also rise about 10' with video walls.... not to mention there is a video wall behind it all that runs the width and height of the arena.

Great reaction. Every new song you hear by them will become a favourite. They are simply unique. Su is a once in a generation vocalist. Yui & Moa have both sang this song live on special occasions and they nailed it. They are incredibly good singers too, but Su is in a different class. Yui & Moa, I know, would be the first to agree.

2:36 Moa : "I can't hear everyone's voices at all" 2:42 Yui : "That is still not enough(in Osaka dialect *but she is from kawasaki city. I'm Osaka guy but it didn't similar at all. LOL)"

Lets goo 🦊🦊🦊🦊

If you want to see the REAL Headbanger, which is from the Legend 1997 concert when Su-Metal had just turned 16, just put in Headbanger legend of 1997. It is THE best of the Headbanger concerts.

Great reaction!!! HEDOBAN HEDOBAN HEDOBAN!!! Mind blowing performance! 🔥🔥🤘🦊🤘

Rondo of Nigthmare at Budokan concert is pretty insane too, that one made me a fan of them

Glad you came back to BabyMetal…

🤘🦊🤘

Babymetal live is one of the best acts in the world.

Welcome mate. Welcome to the One. Love seeing people react to discovering Babymetal, and becoming fellow fans. I've been a fan of theirs since 2014, discovered them since I've always been a filthy weeb [really just very interested in EVERYTHING japan tho]. Blessed as a fellow aussie, because I managed to see them live at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre years ago. Absolutely blew me away. I hope they come back on tour one day soon.

If you want to hear more of this bass player check out his fusion band ‘Kari Band’ some of the best bass and drumming I have ever heard

Excellent! Arigatou! 🦊🤘 #notacult

🦊🤘

React to next "BABYMETAL- Road of Resistance - Live in Japan"

Nice to see you again man. Great react again. Man, you need watch MOAbanger live! Is absolutely perfect! See you in the next 🦊 🤟🏻 🔥 🔥 🔥

Nice reaction. Babymetal should do a song called "Are You Not Entertained?" Quote from Gladiator if you haven't seen the movie, I suggest checking it because it is about Entertainment in its' own way. I usually wouldn't suggest for a reactor to do a compilation video because of how it can confuse the view. But you caught it, that you were watching clips from multiple shows. That trips out a lot of reactors. Who then don't know what to make of it. Especially when they're not very familiar with Babymetal. So you get clips from when Yui was still with them. That's up til around 2017. She officially left in 2018. Then you get clips from the avengers who filled in her spot. They danced no singing. With a mic anyway. there are clips where Momoko is singing along because she has gotten to know the song. They will yell out "We Are Babymetal" at the end of the shows but we can't hear them because of the no mic situation. Mostly done because Su and Moa didn't want to replace Yui just yet. Confusing, It can be. Glad you weren't thrown that far off by it. As much fun as that was here's the low down on the song. It's about going to your first concert. In their case it's not autobiographical as the song has them going to their first show at 15. Which is a big deal birthday in Japan, kind of like 16 in the US. The song talks about long flowing hair and that's why you see them hold their hair up. There's a lot more to the song. Many of babymetals song seem like simple lyrics at first but when you dig a bit deeper. You find there's a whole lot more to it. I suggest checking AJ Hartley's KZfaq page for very interesting deep dives into the lyrics of Babymetal songs. It's in English even goes over some of the possible different translations and what their Music Videos have to say as well. And finally for extra fun Check out Moabanger as it has become known. Moa gets to take over the song halfway through for her 20th birthday. And the crowd gets kawaii overload. Look for Moabanger from Legend M.

🍅💀🍅 🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼

Maybe you'll like the songs, amore and night night brun I don't understand Musical Instruments at all, but I think the two in the song had great bass

🤘🤘🤘

Legend of 97 is the best version for the crowd

BABYMETAL HAS THE MOST SELLING METAL ALBUM IN THE LAST 21 YEARS....THE FOX GOD BLESS YOU

Great reaction mate :))))

Just came by to tell you that I love your channel name! Indian food is life xD

Hey Josh! Loving your reactions. By far one of the best ones! :) Oh and if you want another Babymetal Song, you should try the Live Version of "Distortion". Lemme know what you think & keep up the good work 👍

Best song; so far. Kitsune Dao!

Please react to Syncopation! Its am awesome song.

Nice reaction! For a next one, look for Rondo of Nightmare (w/ Mischiefs of Metal Gods Intro) LIVE at Budokan 👍

The best Babymetal song is always the one you are listening too.

I headbanged the like button

Josh, react to Raise of Sullen. It’s a Japanese female band. Awesome!!

Well, I think you're ready for a BabyMetal Death Legend 1997, then, Sire!

Babymetal 🎶🖤🤘

Hi my Friend! More Reacts to BABYMETAL!

BABYMETAL🔥🤘🦊🤘🔥

Check out “road to resistance “ Imagine if they ever played Adelaide omfg

Akatsuki is the best BABYMETAL song :^)

"Babymetal Death" is heavier. Add it to your must hear list.

Theory: BabyMetal is the closest anybody has gotten to Metalocalypse in the real world.

We ALL need you to revisit this song but do the Momometal version. Trust me, THAT will become your favorite song.

Drummer must be robot

Great reaction Josh, and not singling you out by any means with this but is anyone else a little disappointed in the recent trend of reacting to this version as opposed to the classic Legend of 1997 track?

Please react to "Catch Me If You Can BABYMETAL BLACK NIGHT LEGEND DOOMSDAY" next..!! this is my FAV Babymetal song..!! and they have subtitles too

Las mejores. Aún duele su disolución.

The stage design is pretty normal for big artist in japan..bigger artist have crazier stage design.. once you discovered more youll understand..

Too bad you picked a compilation video (those usually the away a lot of the entire experience). Otherwise, great reaction and one of my favorite BM songs as well. The stage with the big fox heads is from the Legends S show (a tribute to Su-metals 20th birthday), the insane big stage was the Tokyo Dome show, where they filled the Tokyo Dome with 55.000 fans on 2 consecutive nights.

Check out NEMOPHILA.

“Rise of Resistance”

Not a cult

BxMxC live. 🤘😎🤘

4:11 you liking the chugs and not the shredding… I think your inner corekid is showing

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pM1ooMtnr7utoY0.html BMC😄💕

More Motionless In White!!!! London In Terror if you wanna see their earliest stuff, Black Damask (The Fog) for heavy unique goodness, or Creatures X: To The Grave to see their newest song besides timebomb

Headbanger - Babymetal (Moa Solo) is the best !! Moa has a great voice 👌🏾

METALxKAWAI🎸 The power of KAMI BAND

1:36 Matt Heafy :D

The only song where grown ass men get on their knees and bow to three llittle girls, to the goddess and the princesses.

Subtitles work....lol
