Nice one again - this was a one-off performance for Su's 16th birthday covering this song which was a number 1 in Japan in 1997, the year she was born. As ever Su's performance was perfection, she just moves naturally with the music.

Su is a born performer. When she steps on stage, the crowd is 100% hers, and she has no fear.

Bruh what a stunning solo performance, we're not worthy of our queen. The amount of youtubers reacting to this song lately amuse me, i wonder if that's related to "Amuse" issues, bada bum tiss! sorry bad joke :v I see our good BM fan *Safri Saleh* already gives you full info about this song, that's awesome. Babymetal did plenty of covers back then when they have not many songs to fill the setlist, in this case during the live concert she was celebrating her 16 birthday at "Legend 1997" - Makuhari Messe, Japan. I didn't remember this song untill i hear SuMetal singing and go back to anime song to refresh my memory that it was from Evangelion movie. It seems they liked this anime or is just part of pop culture because they did another song which was reversioned for Evangelion 2009 movie and they performed at the end of "Legend D" live concert called _"Tsubasa Wo Kudasai"._ Is a really lovely song with sad feelings so check it out our 3 girls singing there ultra kawaii UwU Note: *autohmae* told me that Babymetal uses Evangelion as inspiration for the "Death and Rebirth" theme in those early shows. And i get that knowing the anime plot and if you remember this is the live concert with the unofficial Trilogy Of Death (including Babymetal Death and SuMetal's crucifixion), that's why that statue image resembles SuMetal's face (not ave marie or virgen mary) is in the background. Also like many other specials live concerts this is a one time only and never played before and after, it all makes sense. The intro "graduation" song was also used during "Legend 1999" (MoaMetal and YuiMetal birthday) Yui and MoaMetal solo exclusives cover songs for that live performance. This is "kamishibai" (intro narration) traslation i found: _Second Impact, in the winter of 1997, it was the birth of the new warrior 'SU-METAL' who transcends the way of this world. She was charged with the mission of Metal Resistance and challenged to fight taking her own life on the legendary '15th Birthday Night.' In 2013, SU-METAL accomplished Metal Resistance and steadily made legends in many of the festivals. After that, she returned to the Holy Mother in preparation for the birth of the new goddess. The Holy Mother said "The souls repeat the cycle of birth and death. Return to me... retracing your memory..."_ The last sentence line is the first line of "Tamashii No Rufuran" lyrics. I saw a fancam vid from this song a certain time ago, not here in YT, and sound was really good as far as i remember, not the footage thou, thing is SuMetal can deliver anywhere, just look that stage pressence and dance movements i bet that was one of the moments when MikikoMetal (the choreographer) said to her "how did you do that?" and SuMetal not knowing what she was talking about lol Babymetal exploit the bug for sure, no cheatcodes, only finding a new way to get into everyone's heart and play with us, and we love to play with them ❤️ Remember in this special live concert there were songs not playing by the Kami Band, like in this case. Thanks for BM wednesday and keep coming back with more. May the Fox God bless you.🦊🤘 _LIVINGLEGEND_ _NOTACULT_ _10BABYMETALYEARS_

SUMETAL is a Metal Goddess and has been from day one!

This song is originally the ending theme song of Evangelion movie in 2009. So it is originally a pop song. The arrangement for Metal is great. The lyrics are based on the reincarnation as the song title shows it (I think it is familiar with the song title of Band Maid, "Rinne, 輪廻"). Thank you from Japan.

Great reaction, thanks! Suzuka is a total performer. And she has worked so hard to be at the point she is. Here she is, by herself, commanding a crowd of 9K kitsunes on her 16th birthday (which is crazy if you think about it!). I believe this was their biggest audience at the time. The few we know about her personality shows us that she pushes herself to give her maximum all the time, every time. And that is amazing and I highly respect her for that. By the way she totally killed the cover!

Su-Metal at full power! I'm looking forward to your reaction to this.

Tamashii no rufuran. ------------------- Return to me, tracing your memory, back to the source of gentleness and dreams, in order to be born again led by the stars. It's soul's refrain. The bare skin is covered by blue shade. It is trembling quietly in the passage of time. As if asking where the life has gone, your fingertips seek for me. I've been hugging you as my destiny, but you're just like a fleeting flower blooming in the season. Leaving the smell of hope on my breast, you rush to fall with your vivid shape. Return to me. Before your birth, you had been on this earth. Return into my arms in order to meet them. The miracle happens again and again. It's soul's refrain. When I close my eyes like praying, the world just vanishes into the depths of darkness. The heartbeat, however, starts to move again, searching for the limited eternity. Return to me, tracing your memory, back to the source of gentleness and dreams. You too must return in order to love each other. Minds and bodies are repeated. It's soul's refrain. Return to me. Before your birth, you had been on this earth. Return into my arms in order to meet them. The miracle happens again and again. It's soul's refrain.

13:57 I think in case of Babymetal, it might not be the songs, but the performers. Babymetal live is always better than their albums. Hell live covers they do better than the originals ! :-) But praising Babymetal is like talking about how wet water is ;-)

Su-Metal perfectly interprets the meaning of the lyrics of the song and sings. Have you already reacted Akatsuki? It's the most dramatic song of Babymetal, and Su's vocals stand out.

From the opening note to the end the crowd are with her.... it is almost like worship..... I LOVE BEING IN THE ONE... I LOVE BEING IN THIS CULT..... she can do no wrong. This girl loves metal music this girl loves to sing this girl loves to perform. Other people have said, THERE IS NO FEAR.

⚡ 💀 💕 / ⚡ 🎶 🎂 The word "no" in Japanese is similar to "of". 'Tamashii No Rufuran' is "Refrain of the Soul", or more commonly, "Soul's Refrain". It's a cover of a song used for the first film in the Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise. It came out in Su's birth year of 1997. That was the only time it was ever performed at a BABYMETAL concert. The eye motif, the rebirth theme, and the reference to a meteorite impact are all references to 'Neon Genesis Evangelion'. Here's the narration that introduced this song: The Second Impact. It was in the winter of 1997. It was the birth of a new warrioress who transcends the law of nature, "SU-METAL". Charged with the mission of the Metal Resistance, in exchange for her own life, she waged a battle in the legendary "special night of fifteen". Executing the Metal Resistance in many music festivals in 2013, SU-METAL made the legends one after another. Before the birth of a new goddess, she returned beside the holy mother. The holy mother said, "A soul is repeated. Return to me, tracing your memory…" BTW, there's no "Death Legend" concert. 'BABYMETAL Death' is a song, and although it's usually an opener, it was the final song of this 'Legend "1997" Su-metal Seitansai' concert. This show is usually just referred to as 'Legend 1997'. Seitansai means "Holy Birthday", and is often used to mean Christmas.

We’ll done guys Just mesmerizing This is what perfect looks like Most bad ass female performer ever

Thanks for your honest reactions and being UNBIASED toward choosing the grandfather metal acts as God, They were Gods,,, yes, past tense,,,, were. You're right, Su Metal sits on her Goddess throne, miles above all metal and rock singers, She displays INCREDIBLE emotion in her voice, that no one else can provide, except SU So boo hoo all you salty ole metalheads that can't deal with it. 2 words for them 2 BAD 😝

I‘m not a big fan of BABYMETAL‘s cover songs. Their original music is so good that they just pale in comparison. This song is the one exception to me, though. It‘s a very beautiful song and fits her voice well.

Soul's refrain Your naked skin wrapped in blue shadows Trembles quietly in this moment Your fingertip searches for me, As if asking for the whereabouts of life The you that was embraced by fate Blooms in season like an ephemeral flower Leaving behind the scent of hope on your chest Scattering hurriedly in splendid form Please come back to me, Before you are born To the earth you spent your days on Please come back into my arms, To meet again Miracles do happen, however many times Soul's refrain When eyes are closed as if in prayer The world simply disappears there into the darkness Even so, my heartbeat starts again Looking for a bounded eternity Please come back to me, Following memories To the source of gentleness and dreams. You, too, please come back, So we can love each other.

> "She's the Konami-cheat code of rock!" LOL... You're probably right! P.S.: Liked your Daft Punk reference at the beginning! Still missing the "technology"... P.P.S.: Regarding this Konami-cheat code: Do you know BABYMETAL's song "↑↓←→BBAB"?

Great reaction mates :)))

👍🌟

What can i say some great comments about this song below in comments and great info 👍 When you said that you where reacting to it i knew your response would be good but it was even better than i thought . When i listen/watch Su sing this song I just get goosebumps from the first note and when she goes into the chorus it just gives my heart a great feeling and the audience just add to it . Just love Su's version of this song ❤ 🤘😍🤘

Nice reaction. Babymetal does a cover tune. Su makes a pop tune metal. Almost in one easy step. Su sang it.

Much like the late Johnny Cash, you just can’t follow that act. These ladies (and of course the Kamiband) are the modern day “slayers of the stage” for sure. I for one wouldn’t want to go onstage after they perform… how can you top their show?

*This is my take on BABYMETAL* GOD lands on earth in s star ship, says , he you 2 wanna come with me to another galaxy to planet XYZ to see how they play their music,? You do realize, this will be a special SNEAK GLIMPSE of what kinds of music other Planets play. U say "Hell yeah , lets go" 2 Guests to God, Can we make an act like that soon God? God: Well, OK, but no one will really believe how good they are, until years later. By then it will be too late, as Babymetal's last show forever, will be on January 1 2031. We have a surprise however, for all of you on that date. We are gong to have the act crucify one of the AVENGERS, cover the cross with a black cloth and spin it a few times. Take away the black cloth and out come the final appearance of YUI METAL. If you're good, God will also preform one last miracle. He will make an exception and resurrect Guitarist Mikio Fujioka from the dead (KO-GAMI) Little God, for just this show. Let me know if this is OK with you guys

Here's the original if you're interested 😁 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eeCpadlmvtDGdqc.html Great reaction as always guys 🤘😷👍

Nice tee! I’m hoping you’ll sometime do a Sakura Gakuin reaction… the parent idol group of BABYMETAL. You may want to have a box of tissues handy.

Now do kimi to anime ga mitai ... you will be more amazed .....
