She was born for the stage. The stage is her whole life. She lives there and loves it. She said its her dream and life goal to become singer.

🌻 ⚡ Su was 9 in that first clip. She was born December 20th, 1997. Right around the Winter Solstice. The other girl in the duo "Tween" was Su's older (middle) sister Himeka. Himeka (nicknamed Himetan) became an original 1st generation member of the Idol group Nogizaka46. When Himeka wanted to try out for Actors School Hiroshima (ASH), Su decided to try out as well. Su got in on the first round of auditions. Himeka got in on the next round. : ) To answer your question about what happened 2008 to 2009, the short answer would be "Karen Girl's". Su played Shioji in the musicals 'Boukensha-tachi and the revival 'Boukensha-tachi Saien'. I believe it's a story about rats trying to find their way home, but I like to think of her as Mausu-metal. : ) Looks like someone already pointed out that you can see Riho Sayashi (Morning Musume/BABYMETAL avenger) in at least one of the ASH ensemble songs.

My eyes became watery by watching her performances 😍😭😭😭. Queen Su ❤️

So when reactors look at SU-METAL (say around Road of Resistance - Live in Japan time) and ask how a 16/17 yo girl can so command a stage - you now understand by that point she had over 10 years of modelling (yes she modelled), sing, dancing and acting on professional stages.. look at the Karen's Girl live show. This is the 20,000 person stadium BM would later perform in and those 3 little girls (Su aged just 10) were already owning a stage back then.

Damn I missed you guys haha and of course the most beautiful ears in the world ! She was the Queen at ANY age.

Just listen to Su's voice starting at 39:22. Tick off all the pro techniques (yes, of course, just coming off Karen Girl's). From the specific of how she holds the note at the end of a phrase clear and steady and then brings on the vibrato, to the general of how much euphony there is in her singing. And the apparent ease and joy of her delivery. Fantastic.

Magz just vibin to SU's voice the entire video, Love It lol🤘🦊

They are "Himeka and suzuka"Nakamoto sisters👯

Suzuka beatifull 💗

The song Himeka & Su- sang at 7:05, was a hit song by Finger 5 (フィンガー5), "個人授業 (Kojin Jugyo, The private lessons)" in 70's. It's a little bit exciting song like LVT must get more angry, haha. Finger 5 was a Japanese pop group formed with the Jackson 5 motif. The track used in the video is a mixed version covered by Misono in 2006. The song Su- sang at 35:26, is ”早瀬川の唄 (Hayasegawa no uta, A Song of Hayasegawa river)" from Japanese old anime, "ガンバの冒険 (Ganba no bouken, Adventures of Gamba)" in 70's. However, the music is arranged, based on Japanese Okinawan folk songs, "島唄 (Shima uta)". I love Su-'s vocal of course but sound of Sanshin (三線) is very good emotionally. It's a musical, "Adventurers" and mice as the main characters, but it's a sad ending story.

Happy 24th Birthday Suzuka Nakamoto a k.a Su-Metal a.k.a Queen Suzuka. Wishing you happiness, great health and wealth, may all the good things comes to you in this life, make the best of you, be the best, you are the best Metal Queen in the world i ever known, stay strong, stay safe and stay CUTE! 🇯🇵 Kitsune 🦊 Up! 🤘🏼, Hail to the Queen! Babymetal Death! Lots of love from Malaysia 🇲🇾 take care my dear Queen😘😉

Keep telling myself please don't cry watching our beloved Queen. Well I failed!

The other girl you know in the ASH performances is Riho Sayashi she was the girl in blue in the second to last song and quite clearly the best dancer, she was one of the Avengers up until last year. Back then Su needed to wear those boots because the slightest breeze would blow her away

-Every time she is singing in that duo unit the other girl is Himeka Nakamoto, her sister. Himeka later joined Nogizaka46 as an idol, that's one of the most popular pop music units in Japan. Maybe nowadays as she is no longer there it's not like that, but there was a time were Himeka was more known than Suzuka even when she was already leading Babymetal. In the end Babymetal is big, but metal is not as big as mainstream pop. -When Su started at Ash she still didn't know of Yui or Moa, but Riho the girl that appeared in Babymetal as Avenger was there with her. Curiously enough when you froze the screen to wonder if Yui was there you froze with a big Riho first plane 😆 23:30 . At that time Riho was considered the most promising girl in the school, Su was behind her and was considered her rival because she is also pretty good it seems. Riho soon after went to lead Morning Musume as its ace. Morning Musume was the biggest band in Japan on the early 2000s, when Riho arrived it was not as big anymore but still, it was pretty big. Riho is still very popular in Japan, when she appeared by surprise with Babymetal in 2019 everyone went crazy. Edit: this performance has the three of them, Su, Riho and Himeka 46:05 Riho is light blue, at the center, dancing better than anyone else. -I'm not sure what the musical is about, I know she is playing the little sister of one of those guys because he is calling her imouto. The first song she is singing in that musical is Shima Uta (Island Song). The instrument that sounds like a banjo it's an okinawan shamisen, a traditional instrument from the Ryukyu Islands. Shima Uta its a very sad song, a tribute to the 200.000 persons that died during the battle of Okinawa in the World War.

Nice one, thanks! Yeah, I'm old school as well... you know what I mean... but I want to see it nice and cute, so it's okay. I would not feel comfortable if the choreo was too much... you know. And that is a point I have always appreciated about BABYMETAL and Mikiko's work as their choreographer. About little Suzuka... it's amazing how fast she's learning to control her incredible vocal power. On the other hand, she has zero hula-hop skills... lol See you next time!

Only metal queen Su cannot do hooping well. But she can revolve many people with one finger.

30:22 The Fox God have allready told her about her future....

Nakamoto Himeka and Nakamoto Suzuka FTW

You guys! So happy to see you again 🥰 And yes, is always lovely to watch our lovely kawaii little queen rising career, I love those pics and of course there's more, can't wait. ❤️ December 20th 1997 Living Legend birthday 🦊 Tween duo is with her beautiful sister Himeka Nakamoto ❤️ You got the 5 songs commentary vids by Babymetal when they were old (not too old thou) remembering their early songs, I'm pretty sure you can find those links. 28:43 I can cry with this one 🥺❤️ 2009 Karen Girls happened 🤩 Tween - Lion (Macross Frontier) cover is my favorite. Whenever you see the full crew ASH you can also spot future avenger and talented Riho Sayashi, recently was her birthday. Sad to hear about your graphic card issues, gambare masu! 💪

Imagine your video of showing your growth is all taken by professionals.

Awwww I love LVT so much🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💕💕💕💕💕

THE QUEEN ....hi guys thanks ..love it ..LVT

It's too bad this video doesn't have more of 2008/2009, because when you hear her solo songs straight through from 2007 through 2010, you can almost pinpoint the exact moment her voice went from "She's talented, but not really anything super special" to "Okay, now I see why Koba thought she could easily front a heavy metal band". EDIT: Also, the (second? Third? The last one near the end) duet she sang with her sister was "Lion", from the anime Macross Frontier, which was composed by none other than Yoko Kanno (who did the music for Cowboy Bebop).

Wonder how many of the people who performed on stage with Su, have it on their resumes. Su could have very easily been a Musical stage actor. I think you can see that Su talent and stage presence was recognized very early. Who noticed that Su's shoes have no laces and who knows why? FYI; LVT in Asia the girls wear "Safety Shorts" under their miniskirts for the very reason you would think.

There is a version of the song at about 17:00 where she is wearing angel wings. I recommend it. It's kind of fun watching the ASH videos and trying to find Su in the crowd. Usually, I look for the skinniest girl then confirm it's her by watching her unique mannerisms when she dances. 🙂 She's easy to find in the hula hoop dance. She's the one that's always picking her hoop off the floor. She's obviously not good at everything. 😆

Great job again guys and good to see you back. Su looked so comfortable on stage at such an early age, no doubt due to her training and personality both. All the footage of her and the other girls just adds to the attraction of Babymetal!

Tween was Suzuka with her older sister Himeka in their ASH days. Himeka didn’t join SG, but became a member of Morning Misume. She is now a mental health counsellor

Su was in Karen Girls 2008 - 2009

28:43 What I thought after watching this part is - No wonder she can sing the song "No Rain No RAINBOW" that touches thousands of people when she grows up.

Su improved so fast in her early years. Her solo (3:11) at the age of 9 was very good, but the next solo (29:00) the following year was great. That performance is top notch.

Little Su is too precious😄💕

There are a lot of good singers who appear in audition shows at this age in Japan.　These children surprise me with their singing skills that are as good as adults. Su is different from these children in some ways. Many children who are good singers imitate the singing style of adults and sing in a mature way. However, Su sings in a way that is unusual for a child these days, and has a natural voice. and her ability to express herself in a way that moves people's hearts is her charm.

The musical is an adaptation of the children's book "The Adventurers: Gamba and His 15 Friends", written in 1972. They are all playing rats trying to save their island from a clan of weasels. I like that it took you 8 minutes of watching the musical to ask "why are they wearing ears?!" It is a strange thing in Japan that 90% of theatre audiences are women, so a lot of shows are full of handsome young men, usually from idol groups. Su was the only female in the whole cast of this production!

Thanks ! The musical was “Adventurers (Boukenshatachi) : Ganba to nakamatachi” children’s literature. maybe .

What is amazing is how it's not even the oldest videos of her we have LOL

What happened to 2008-2009 was Karen' Girl's. I presume they couldn't footage of that. That girl at the beginning she was doing duets with is her older sister, Himeka

Hi there. I couldn't really catch a lot of the dialogue of that musical, but the actors were not impersonating bears but actually mice or rats (it's the same word in Japanese for both, 'nezumi'), and I guess they were on a ship and searching for a new home of sorts. The first song was some Okinawa style minyo (traditional folk song), and if the melody sounded weird, that's how those songs are supposed to be, they are following a Japanese scale.

Indeed can't forget tween Su and her big sis himeka, also Avenger Riho was also in some of the group performances.

americans are funny, so free and yet so conservative :D :D :D

That's the one thing I've never really understood...everyone makes fun of the way she dances/moves yet Mikiko admitted Su picks up on the steps faster than pretty much anyone. She hits her marks, all of that but still people make fun. Always nice to see the Nakamoto sisters together...I wonder if they sing together or not now? There was an interview by one of them, possibly Himeka someone correct me if I'm wrong, and they talked about that they grew up with music in their house all the time, Their dad being a musician I guess that's to be expected, but it's been a part of their life for basically ALL their lives. Before she was singing, Su did modeling as an even teenier version than on this vid, she was basically a baby, so she's been at this nearly all of her life in some form. And you can REALLY hear the growth in her voice in the span of 2 years or so in this vid...not just tonally but control. Little flat sometimes but that's ok, but the speed in which her voice control came together is pretty damn amazing. Altho she and Himeka sound quite a lot alike (speaking and singing) Su just overpowers her in the later songs when they're together. As far as the Acting goes...they're all trained in the arts in general: Acting, Singing, Dancing, Modeling, even instruments I believe (or the basics..I may be wrong on this one) The IDOL industry is based on all of these things...especially the acting. All of these girls/young women are playing a part on stage (for the most part) so the acting helps them learn to be the character they are on stage, why a lot of them go into acting. Nice to see you all back! Hope you get everything put together soon. MAGZ..allergy meds dude, nasal spray works a bit faster. Hang in there, pollen season will be slowing down here pretty soon. I get up with a yellow tint over my vehicle (and everything else) all the time, granted I live back in the woods but hang in there.

You almost had it. Su's birthday is December 20th (1997). However, December 23rd is also significant to Sakura Gakuin. That's Hinata's birthday (1998). December is the month with the most Sakura Gakuin birthdays (three of which are on December 1st). October is the only month with none, but we can dedicate that month to BabyMetal. :D June has several as well, including Ayaka's on the 18th, and Yui's on the 20th.

good video!

The cuteometer make KABOOOM 🔥

12:41 we do know the parents have the whole DVD-collection on their bookshelf. 18:43 you are NOT wrong, because Suzuka has done that a whole bunch of times. Especially Christmas. 23:31 I think that might be Avenger Riho

Good to see you back! :)

7:20 Nakamoto Sisters Power :) 13:50 and again Himeka and Suzuka ❤️

Nice reaction. Sometimes it's hard to think of Su as anything but the metal in Babymetals vocals. But here we get to see Su being too kawaii. I wonder what the teachers of ASH thought of this crops of students. Su, Himeka, Riho and Mariri all together in the same school. Simply amazing. Is this a common thing in Japan? I just imagine the teacher who said they wouldn't make it has been fired by now. There's always at least one teacher who's the A hole of the bunch. They have their favorites and no matter how hard the students work they don't see it. I would imagine she cringes a least a little. You know Su knows every spot where she feels is a mistake. Su's a perfectionist and even does goofy perfectly. Su and many of these girls have a lot in common with MJ. Their whole life is on film for the whole world to see. It says a lot that Su gave up the Jpop idol life for metal. How hard it must have been for Babymetal leave all their friends behind and go on a world tour. Most idols never leave Japan. The world is a better place because they did.

I don't know if it helps but there about 4-5 videos where Su, Moa, and Yui do commentary for their old videos like Doki Doki Morning, Headbanger, ijime damme zettai, and a couple more so yea Lvt, Magz I hope someone sends you those videos 😁🤘

The jump from 2007 to 2010 was when Su was in Karen Girl's. LVT, you did not see Yui. This is Actors School of Hiroshima (Su's hometown) in early 2008. Yui and Moa would be 7 years old, and had not watched Karen Girl's yet (Because they did not yet exist). The only other Sakura Gakuin member from Hiroshima was Su's fellow ASH alumni Mariri Sugimoto. More trivia: the song that begins at 28:43 was in a Hayo Miyazaki film, and would have been reasonably popular (or at least well known) in Japan at the time. Needless to say, Su nailed it.

Happy to see you again guys!! Great react again. See you in the next 🤟🏻 🦊 🔥 🔥 🔥

07:10 That girl with Su is her sister Himeka... and probably other people already pointed that out... but 🤷

Oh god get the Hannibal Lecter equipment LVT has that look in her eyes .😱🤣❤

Riho was with Su in that big girl group. I believe she was the one on all pink at 23:27 when you start talking about Yui. They both went to that Hiroshima dance school. I forget the name but I am sure someone will jump in.

Three of the girls are the idol group Perfume

long time no see

I'm trying so hard to some footage of Suzukas father. He was a bass player for an 80s band called "The Hooligans". I have seen a pic of them both and you can definitely see where her death stare comes from. I so need to find the pics again. #LVTsHomework 🦊🦊❤️🦊🦊

Great reaction, you guys are awesome.

Great to see some of her old stuff at ASH, Asu e no Tobira (Door to tomorrow) from the 2008 autumn act is still one of my favorite solo songs from Su. It's always confusing to see her sister Himeka in red and black and not So after getting use to the colors from Babymetal. There are still so many great songs missing so I hope you will also watch part 2.

🦊🤘👸❤

As others already told you, when there were only 2 girls on stage it was SU with her sister Himeka with their duo called Tweens! I also find some of their outfits at ASH a little bit inappropriate, considering the girls age. Somebody told me it's normal for Idols, but there were girls 8 years old or even younger ffs... I'm really glad Sakura Gakuin wasn't like that!!

That piano piece at the beginning sounds very familiar. Then I realized it's "To Zanarkand" from FF X😁. Damn I miss Nobuo Uematsu work.

How to find Su when there are a lot of girls dancing and the video quality is not very good? Easy, look for the ears and for the girl dancing at 60FPS

I missed you guys were you on tour? she was born on 12/20/1997. so she would still be 9 yrs old at this time. Fyi: her father was a guitarist for a metal group called Hooligans. She also sang with her sister Himeka Nakamoto.was born April 13, 1996 (age 25 years) .

That actually wasn't the first video of her at Acting School of Hiroshima. There was one from 2006. LVT would love that one she's wearing like a fairie or angel costume with wings. It's very age appropriate. The video skips 2008 to 2010. That was Karen Girls. I guess they didn't want to include Karen Girls video for whatever reason. 'It's crazy how it says Actors school but it's mostly singing'. Well, that is in english. That is just for decoration. Nobody can read it.

🍅🍅🍅 🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼

How does a person know when he or her music video will be played or have a reaction too? I gave a donation and a request for some Dreamcatcher music videos my question is how long or when would I see that reaction? and where I'm I on the long list that you have? Thank you

SUZUKA has an amazing voice and techniques from an early age! That musical based on 1975’s japanese anime ガンバの冒険 ”GANBA no BOUKEN” means adventure of rat named GANBA. She plays elder sister rat of rat who asked GANBA for help. ↓Reference video（Going to help rats attacked by weasel） 　"【公式】ガンバの冒険 第1話「冒険だ海へ出よう！」"THE ADVENTURES OF GAMBA" EP01(1975)" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sKx6mbZjvJfHYYk.html
