⚡ / 🔥 😱 🔥 That was a sixteen year old Su-metal. She premiered the song the night before, at Budokan Red Night. Rondo is easily in my top ten BABYMETAL songs. Su performed three solos that night. She did 'No Rain, No Rainbow', followed by 'Akatsuki' earlier in the set. Yui and Moa (as Black BABYMETAL) did two songs without Su that night ('4 no Uta' and 'Onedari Daisakusen'), and they performed a bunch of songs together. That Black Night Budokan concert from March 2014 is still one of my favorite BABYMETAL concerts. Not only is Su brave enough to sing and dance on a tiny elevated platform in the dark, but she also has the confidence to follow those blistering Kami Band solos. That's real courage. : )

Good reaction - and BABYMETAL always sound better live (not just heavier, you also get Su's natural voice without the unnecessary over-processing they do to her in the studio recordings).

You're the first reaction that mentioned her little step dance. I was just praying she wouldn't fall off lol

Su is just SIXTEEN here! I have to mention that AND even remind myself every time, because her stage presence makes it so easy to forget that fact. She may look like a tiny 5ft-1inch mortal, but she is a metal goddess. Great reaction guys! 🦊🤘

Great reaction! The Intro goes under the name "Mischief of Metal Gods" and you are right, they only play it in live shows. There are more songs which usually start with an instrumental intro.

The DVD and Blue Rays of concerts are the way to enjoy BM, unless you can see them live, because you get to hear the Kami band solos and experience the dancing and the stage production. Rondo is one of Su's solos which gives Yui and Moa some time to rest. They then return the favor and perform together as Black Babymetal without Su.

Over the first two albums Su has a total of four songs she performs solo, this one, Akatsuki (which has two version, a heavy and a ballad), Amore, and the tear jerker that is No rain, No rainbow. The other two girls, Moa and Yui also have four songs they perform together without Su, Onedari Diasakusen, 4 no Uta, GJ, and Sis Anger. When they perform without Su they're referred to as Black Babymetal.

Great random pick. When Su is doing the waltz the time signuature is 3/4, so that makes sense.

You are right, the instrumental intro is not part of the actual song. From time to time they give the Kami Band a few minutes to shine. The song does indeed have some Waltz elements, like the 3/4 rhythm, and it's certainly no coincidence that Su incorporates some Waltz steps into her choreography. All of their songs sound a bit heavier live, and many of us actually prefer the live versions. Also, Su's voice keeps maturing, of course, which makes the songs mature along with her to some extent. Her voice did sound pretty young on the first album. I love this song, the atmosphere is very cool and fits the lyrics very well, and the melody in the chorus is so beautiful! And Su's vocals and stage presence are awesome.

The Red/Black Budokan Blu-ray is awesome!

Oh man, I freaking love this song. One of the best performances I've ever seen. The band absolutely nailed those solos, and Su... man, she is just talented af, they all are. I'm glad that you finally got to this one. This is one of Su's solo songs, that's why you didn't see Yui and Moa. I really love you reactions guys, keep 'em coming! I hope you get to Akatsuki live at Budokan Black Night. It's another Su solo that I think you MUST see. Love ya! 🦊🖤

You're definitely right that the song, and BABYMETAL in general, is way heavier live. Especially the first album. Some of the songs on it were, at least partly, produced by J-Pop staff because they were still part of Idol Group Sakura Gakuin, which BABYMETAL was a sub-group of (heavy music club) at the beginning. J-Pop is all about performance first, vocals second and sometimes it seems the background music isn't more than a needed necessity. You can hear the difference the most with Doki Doki Morning or Headbanger for example, two of the singles that were released under the Sakura Gakuin banner and are on SG albums. They're all good studio tracks, but they only get heavy when performed live.

Nice video! This song is about being trapped ina an unescapable nightmare being haunted by an unseen creature. This is one out of 4 Su's solos. The others are Akatsuki, Amore, and No Rain, No Rainbow. She performs these to give Yui and Moa a few minutes of break. The two also have songs together. The duo was named "Black Babymetal". Their songs are Sis. Anger, Onedari Daisakusen, GJ! , and Song 4. They also perform this to give Su a break. In this performance, it is also believed that Yui and Moa were doing their homeworks backstage while Su is entertaining the crowd with her vocals. They're still little here after all! They're about 16 and 14 when they performed here. The intro here was the "Mischief of Gods" performed by the Kami Band. We also believe that it was a ritual needed to perform to summon Su from hell and only those with the skill of the Kami Band can perform it. So, the first guitar was by Leda Cygnus. The second guitar was from Takayoshi Ohmura. The 6 string bassist is BOH and the drummer was Hideki Aoyama. There are other versions of the intro performed together with other Kami Band members. Namely, Mikio Fujioka on guitar and Yuya Maeta on drums. All versions are great. They never fail to impress!

Yeah the intro is live only. It belongs to the Kami Band and not Babymetal. The intros are not on any of the studio albums. The Western Kamis do their own intros which are similar but not the same. Babymetal has 4 studio songs with Su only and 4 with only Moa and Yui which was branded 'Black Babymetal'. 2 of each from the first and second albums. The 4 solo songs are Akatsuki, Rondo of Nightmare, Amore and No Rain No Rainbow. The 4 Black songs are Onedari Daisakusen, GJ!, Sis Anger and Song 4. They also did some cover songs. Su did 'White Love' and 'Tamashii no Rufuran'. Moa did 'Love Machine' and Yui did 'Chokotto Love'. Those are all from the very early days when they didn't have so many of their own songs. Those were all done without the Kami Band. I'd love to see them redone in a concert someday. Even their covers are great. They also do a cover song with all 3 girls but it was really more of a crossover. 'Kimi to Anime Ga Mitai' which was like a crossover with another Amuse group. The other group covered 'Doki Doki Morning' and Kimi to Anime was their song. They did perform Kimi to Anime live at Budokan with the Kami Band. Another cover was 'Over the Future' which was a cover of Karen Girls which was the group Su was in 2 years before Babymetal was formed. So she covered herself.

So, if you still don’t know, I suggest reacting to Distortion (live 2018) and Syncopation (it’s a little older and less “known”, but it’s really cool) 😉

I have allways though she was waltzing as if she was on top of a music box . With her protectors standing around her , but that might be me thinking to much again ! 🤘🦊🤘

I love almost every song of theirs live more. Out of like 50 songs there are maybe 3 or 4 who I can listen to the studio and not be annoyed because I know for a fact the live versions are so much better. My spotify is me having uploaded all of their songs from live concerts lol. Best BM is always Live BM :).

the pits gotta be nuts during this

Great reaction I suggest to react to awadama fever by Babymetal. There’s an amusing story behind it. All of the haters and some of the critics said they were bubblegum pop with squeaky voices so they decided to do a cute industrial metal song about a mint flavoured bubblegum time machine basically to say chew on that

Yes, we are here cause every PassCode fan is a BABYMETAL fan \m/

Great pick.

Tho leaves eyes is a fire band this song goes so hard its worth it

Not unless I missed it the song is about oh young girl having a nightmare and being chased by some demon who was going to kill her and she's trying to hide from it when she goes into that soft voice she has accepted her fate and is asking the demon to let her see it once before it kills her.

Nice & thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。Kamis' (=Gods') super plays are excellent enough as a main event in the show, but once the 16-year-old Queen emerges from the underground, she colors everything differently and turns Kamis' plays into a ritual to summon her.

the girls were doing homework during the intro...the other two had a lot of homework....

metal god taught them walls of death :)

Good reaction, thanks! You are right, they sound heavier and better... to the extent that my whole BABYMETAL playlist is made with live versions chosen with care :)

yep, you right, I like many of their songs in live versions - sometimes it sounds better because of instrumental, sometimes - cos of singing and yep sometimes both of it)

I realized once again that about 30% of babymetal's work is due to the power of Mikiko, the choreographer. I am convinced that babymetal would not have been successful without Mikiko. The value of Babymatal lies in the expression of the stage.

Babymetal - Arkadia live please drum so brutal from Anthony Barone ( Beneath the Massacre) thank you🎉🙏👍

Dont forget check out to react babymetal - Tales of destiny 🤘nice reacted men i like your guys apreciated

Check out Lovebites - Holy War or Raise Some Hell Nice reaction btw

Awesome Kawaiwaru AOP

As I always say on reactions to this drum solo; how can you even _tell_ ? The guy is the exact interpretation of giving 100%. Always. So maybe the solos clock up 125% or something? As a mathematician that bothers me. As a listener to their music? Not so much. It's just a beautiful energy in a time where that seems so scarce.

Bros, pls react to LOVEBITES again, live at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020, check out they play songs Raise Some Hell/Holy War/Scream For Me...

Hello! Can i make a request? :3 Can you react to " Сметана band - Плохие манеры ". (at the very beginning of the clip, a reference to a Russian TV show, by type late-night show) /sorry, for google translate... I'm too lazy to translate into English myself./

You guys ever checked out Vampillia? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nNZ0fquKyNa-l4U.html
