BabyMetal makes Metal fun. Those 2 little backup vocal/dancers just crack me up. They all make me smile and be happy. I feel like their proud big brother and just think "go get them girls". They were 11-12 years old when they formed BabyMetal, those girls are tough as fuck and super well trained. I think I was still eating dirt at age 11.

I‘m happy for everyone who finds a way out of the Metal elitist prison. Back in my teen days it was Metallica for me all the way, and not much to the left and right. My friends branched off to Suicidal Tendencies or Rage Against The Machine, but I couldn’t accept that as real Metal. I was the TRVE headbanger! What an idiot I was. I‘m so glad that I grew up and allowed myself to accept the gift that is BABYMETAL. They are so fresh and unique and fun and positive. I have never loved a band that much before. They are the epitome of live entertainment.

Whole band is amazing.

If you're not smiling while watching Babymetal, there is something wrong with you. Thanks for the reaction.

Love them or hate them you can not deny those girls put on one hell of a show

4 studio albums and ... 11 live ,,,, they do huge sets for video release, and most are small gigs with minimal anything except amazingness. Opening shows from little known acts like. Guns N Roses, Lady Gaga, Red Hot Chilly Peppers, Metallica, Rob Hallford from Judas Priest, KORN, and Stone Sour .. Deathklock, Jason Richardson, Religer, Sabaton, Lordi, Creeper, Skynd, Bring me the Horrizon, The Hu, Avatar, Amaranthe, Sleep Token, Dream State, Islander, Yelawolf, Hellyeah, Jack Iron, and DragonForce drug them onstage because no promotors would sign a "girl bad" and since Dragonforce was on the first album "Road to Resistance: track .. Oh well ..

i've been binging baby metal since i first heard of them a couple of months ago. some of my favorites are this one, "headbanger", "gimme chocolate" (probably their biggest commercial success), and "road of resistance". watch the live in japan version of the last one,it's mesmerizing how in control of the audience these three young ladies are in that video.

Great reaction. This is the best song about playing a game like a mix of hide & seek blind man's bluff and tag that I know of ... but they are playing it with an Oni (a sort of Japanese ogre👹). The growls are on backing track - that was the Oni asking things like "Are you ready?" and the best response has to be "Maada da ya" (No, not yet) while doing a running away from an Oni dance.🏃‍♀🏃‍♀🏃‍♀👹 Once in a while the Kami Band get their chance to have some fun in the spotlight with an instrumental intro like this before the girls come on for the song itself. This particular compilation video has clips from different concerts spanning several years, the audio was taken from the Wembley Arena concert in 2016 (at least some of it anyway).

They are very fun. Cute, positive. Babymetal is kinda magical. The crowd from all ages all over the world. its beautiful and brilliantly well done.

Some people says that Babymetal wasn't metal.. well 😆 Love the band, love the girls, .. love all of this 👌 my all time favourite from them is the video of BXMXC . I'm a french canadian and I'm trying to learn this one for the karaoke Nights 🤟

The first time I realized that the song is about djent hide and seek, and that they're literally dancing around Su, who keeps just not quite seeing them...my heart just melted.

Great reaction. The Japanese metal scene is deep and varied. Babymetal is by far the biggest but there is a long history of great metal. Older bands like X-Japan, Loudness, Ninjen Isu and Galneryus are all great. Newer bands like Unlucky Morpheus and Crystal Lake are carrying the torch. There is also a vibrant and popular huge group of all female metal bands in Japan that are blowing up. Nemophilia, Lovebites and Hanabie are probably the most popular in the west. Add to the hard rocking not quite metal ladies for Band Maid and you have an incredibly deep hole to explore.

Cool reaction brother 🔥🤘🦊🤘🔥 They do a lot of different stuff, some songs I like and others not as much but for me (a 90s metalhead) there is at least a dozen Babymetal songs I love. Keep on rocking friend 🎸 🥁 💥

This song is heavy as f..k. Look up the translation and it is literally about playing hide and seek with the devil. The music and dancing perform this in heavy metal persona. Love it!

Hide and Seek BABYMETAL style! BABYMETAL FOREVER 🤘🤘🤘

Great reaction, thanks! Heaviest song about playing hide and seek or tag, sor sure! But they play against an "oni", a sort of Japanese ogre, which makes it even more... interesting. 😁 "CMIYC" is definitely on their heavier side musically but also has very cute vocals and choreo (considered a fan favorite). Unfortunately, this compilation video doesn't do justice to the choreo since it's the combination of several concerts, it breaks the flow and it's quite distracting (you noticed the costumes changes). This was my very first BABYMETAL song so it's quite special to me. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Jake Muller's list is the way to go. 👍‍ Until next time! 🤘🦊

If you like this heavy and fun one then you might also want to check Sis Anger by Babymetal (Black Babymetal)

I love how you said "thats no way to enjoy listening to all the beautiful music out there". thats such a true statement, and people need to take that to heart. Great reaction, keep up the good work!

Mischief of the gods is insane intro.

Just a heads up, the thumbnail you have up is the current line up. All footage in this compilation video is up to 2017, afterwards some things changed.. End of 2017 they took solo intros away (last one was for the song "Yava" at Osaka Fox Festival ), Guitarist Mikio Fujioka (the one smiling during the first solo - left channel in your ears) died beginning of 2018 from injuries sustained from a fall, then one of the girls (Yui Mizuno @ 05:08) left the group, 2019 they made the band wear masks along with using American musicians during overseas tours (you can tell the difference). They have a more electronic pop rock sound now. They will be touring the US this year using the American band and co-headlining with cartoon band Dethklok. Also, this song hasn't been performed live since the Fox Festivals in 2017.

Thanks for your genuine reaction video. If you like exploring different music, try listening to Nippon Manju by Ladybaby. It's the cute metal concept of Babymetal pushed to the extreme.

This period for me was wonderful with a great overall balance between band choreo, all the girls & of course the energy - something that perhaps feels less present now. Good reaction - this one is one of my favs, it hits hard no matter how often I watch it (although I like the 97 one) :) I also adore 4 no uta mind you - so I wouldn't pay to much attn. to my opinion 😂

Babymetal = JOOOOOOOOYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love your historical recall regarding your limitation in music choice, and I sincerely commend you for broaden your horizon in this way. In case you ever decide to revisit Babymetal again on your channel, consider checking out their _Karate_ (the Music Video is visually worth it, though you may have already watched that one) and their song _Pa Pa Ya_ (the Music Video is a live show with studio sound on it). They're both quite different from what you've experienced so far. Just like you've broadened your horizon, Babymetal has too, by evolving in some way.

56 years old....grew up on a variety of music, but metal was the prime choice. a buddy sent me a video of the kami band and from that point on can't get enough of BM.

This ones my favorite because of the punk choruses!

Yui team here ❤❤❤ Yes..!! This is one of their best songs, and the best babymetal song ever existed is Awadama Fever

During the era this song was made, their producer/composers were using a riff machine for the instrumentals. As a byproduct there was a lot of sampling in the first album. This song in particular uses pieces from Slipknot’s (sic)

Take your pick: BAND-MAID [All their songs... really!], LOVEBITES [Break the Wall, Raise some Hell, and all the other songs], BABYMETAL [All their songs, because they are all different], MAXIMUM THE HORMONE [Yoshu Fukushu], DEXCORE [Earthworm], CROSSFAITH [Catastrophe], SiM [Killing Me], NINGEN ISU [Heartless Scat], UNLUCKY MORPHEUS [Black Pentagram], YOUSEI TEIKOKU [Astral Dogma, Patriot Anthem (Live)] and their other band: DenKare [Detonator], COLDRAIN [Die Tomorrow], CRYSTAL LAKE [The Circle], GIVEN BY THE FLAMES [Ronove], LONESOME_BLUE [Face the Fear], ANGRY FROG REBIRTH [2Step Syndrome], SILENTLY SHOOTING TRAITORS [Manipulate], ALDIOUS [Dominator], TRiDENT [Ambivalent, Spoopy, ...], BRIDEAR [Light in the Dark], CINQ ELEMENT [Destiny], MARY'S BLOOD [Marionette], GRAUPEL [Bereavement], DOLL$BOXX [Take my Chance], SOKONINARU [Tenohira De Odoru], HELLO SLEEPWALKERS [Flying Saucer], TELECiDE [Tied up Memories], NEKO [Ghost on a Record], MARDELAS [G-Metal], MERGINGMOON [Greyen], ROTTENGRAFFTY [Hallelujah], JILUKA [Mephisto, Overkill], BROKEN BY THE SCREAM [Emotion Cross-Counter], FATE GEAR [Unbreakable Wings], LYNCH [Devil], GACHARIC SPIN [Mindset], DIR EN GREY [Ningen wo Kaburu], X JAPAN [Kurenai], DAZZLE VISION [Second], DEVILOOF [Torture], JUPITER [My Enemy], NOKUTO [Life of Desire], GALNERYUS [Angel of Salvation], SAISEIGA [Ride On], BLOOD STAIN CHILD [Del-Sol], NEMOPHILA [Rise, Hypnosis], DADAROMA [Lucid Dream], JILUKA [Overkill, or Lluvia], HANABIE [We Love Sweets], A CROWD OF REBELLION [Re:Create of the Re:d], PALEDUSK [Area PD], POLKADOT STINGRAY [any song], MUTANT MONSTERS [Abnormal], BLACKLAB [Insanity], ASTERISM [Fiction, Rising Moon, Unravel, or Church], NOISEMAKER [Hunter or Prey], BiSH [The Night When Stars Twinkle], SCANDAL [A.M.D.K.J.], DEEP GIRL [I kill], Mrs. GREEN APPLE [Inferno], BRATS [Doudatte Yokatta], THE ORAL CIGARETTES [Frenzy Hey Kids!!], GIRUGAMESH [Drain], LiLiHoLi [From Darkness to Light], THE DEVIL’S KILLING MERRY-GO-ROUND [Diabolos], OTOBOKE BEAVER [Love is Short], and many many more...

BAND-MAID, BAND-MAID, BAND-MAID. From Now On(instrumental), Manners (live), Choose Me (MV). “An Impossibly hard rocking maid band.”

They are amazingly good. Insane.🔥🔥🔥

Happy to stick along for more reactions. 🦊🦊🦊

Subscribed! Glad you opened up your mind to other things. Hope to see you go down the foxhole. Ill be watching!

I like that intro. Try "Nippon Manju" - Ladybaby if you liked babymetal contrast.

All the usual suspects have already given you tons of Babymetal info, so I'm going to fulfill your request for other suggestions to react to. In keeping with the Japanese theme, and mostly because Babymetal led me to these amazing bands, here is my list of suggested bands and songs to react to. (Band - Song) Hanabie 花冷え - We Love Sweets, Pardon Me I Have To Go Now Band-Maid - Puzzle, Domination, ... Oh hell, just pick any song, they don't have a bad song in their discography. Nemophila - Dissension, Oiran Lovebites - Stand and Deliver, Holy Wars Maximum The Hormone - Yoshu Fokushu, Alien Thank you for your consideration

When a Babymetal song is voted for by popularity, 'Akatsuki' usually comes in first place.😀😀

Not one of my favourite Babymetal songs; but I think your reaction sums it up, along with the best things about Babymetal. Heavy AF. Cute AF. Clever and talented AF. Who could really ask for more? Thanks for the reaction.

You're in for a fun ride if you liked those first two! I've learned myself that the more I listen the less I notice the dichotomy between the dark heavy riffs and the "kawaii" voices. I swear Babymetal creates new synapses in your brain (I stole that from a KZfaq comment), the cognitive dissonance from hearing it is completely gone to me. It sounds normal

BABYMETAL - Rondo of Nightmare (w/ Mischiefs of Metal Gods Intro) LIVE at Budokan kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qtN9osaBnp-1m4U.html

I was once like yourself i could not get past punk and ska when i was younger but as i got older i learned to appreciate all kinds of music especially metal. Babymetal are like nothing you have seen or heard before the energy these girls put into a show is incredible and backed by some real talented musicians,their ability to make heavy asf metal sound like a catchy pop tune is astonishing. Now you have to search out the live performances and react to those as Babymetal are always better live,a few tips would be anything from legends 97 headbanger,gimme chocolate and if you want to see how heavy asf metal they can go then Babymetal death live legends 97,then do Rondo of nightmare live budokan black night you should have no issue with these vids either. Welcome to the Foxhole 🦊

There is no way to explore their work wrong, no matter how you go about it you will be constantly and pleasantly surprised. I do think, where you already like the band, you might enjoy watching them from start (in their first couple of videos they don't even have live musicians), and also there is a 30ish minute video that talks through their founding and history. There is a "Legend Live 1997" concert you can catch as well from 2013 that refers to Su-Metal's birth year, and is held within days of her 16th birthday. For the most part, if you find "Live" you will avoid the compilations (which are also fine, but I did see your surprise at it, and seeing them 100% live is just amazing).

Checkout some Buckethead, Queensryche, Porcupine Tree, Riverside, If These Trees Could Talk.

If you like "fun" metal you should really check out the newer Electric Callboy songs! I'm thinking of "Hypa Hypa", "Tekkno Train" or "We got the moves" for example. Have fun!

Well it is intersting wgat Kobametalö had to do to get his girls to play metal for him. At least itbwas a bit of an end of a time. He had them nearly there. So he let the Kami Band there long before he called the girls.

Wow my comment here was deleted by Lord YT. Anyway have fun and come back with more BM songs.🦊🤘🔥

Yeah, this was like 3-4 different concerts at once. Watch Road of Resistance, Live in Japan.....it'll melt your face off. Some hints. avoid videos and instead find the popular live show (they are all about the concert performances..their video making is...well...actually BxMxC video is better than their live...but honestly, thats the exception)

🤘🦊🤘

Listen to their most popular and gimmicky song “gimme chocolate”

😁😁😁🤘🤘🤘

🦊🦊🦊🎸🎸🤘🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This video is a compilation of several different shows, hence the outfit/background/musician-position changes. Despite heavy songs like this, some people still can't accept that BABYMETAL are metal. As long as the Kami Band is their instrumental band for live shows, they are, and will be, metal af. That said, the labels are irrelevant. EDIT to add, may I recommend that you consider reacting to the all-female Japanese band Nemophila. Good songs to start with would be 'Dissension', 'Revive' or 'Rise'. They're mostly metal but, again, labels don't work well for them as they don't keep still.

Nice. Keep going and you will realize not all of their music is fun. Some of them will make you tears, sad or goosebumps. They have done some many different style of music. Here I recommend you some of their music listed by genre Speed Metal: - Akatsuki - Headbanger - Arkadia - Ijime Dame Zettai - Road Of Resistance Metal Ballads - No Pain No Rainbow Progressive Metal - Tales Of The Destinies - Rondo Of Nightmare - Mirror Mirror Hardcore - Catch Me If You Can Skacore - Yava Trash Metal - Give Me Chocolate Metalcore - Megitsune - Monochrome - Karate Black/Death Metal - Sis Anger Nu Metal - BxMxC Symphonic Metal - Divine Attack - Metal Kingdom Industrial/Electronic Metal - PaPaYa - Maya - Metalizm - Headbanger Night Of 15 Mix Theyre not babies anymore. They are ladies now haha. But I recommend you to keep on track from old song before going to new album. Waiting for your next choice man.

All hail the fox god 😊

Regarding your intro, I see nothing wrong with being a metal elitist as I'd consider myself one or a metal gatekeeper so to speak. I do like other genres also but I'm very "matter of fact" when it comes to what a certain genre is or isn't. Hearing you say you only liked 3 bands for 10 years is not something I'd call elitism, I'd just call that a very small CD collection lol. Good video though man. Babymetal \m/

here's another one that will take you on a journey, especially after the break. the Wagakki band..also from Japan. a great blend of rock and some traditional Japanese instruments and sounds. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ptWeh8V1qbO9mqs.html

Yooo cosmicwolf brother I found your KZfaq:)

when you see stuff like Metallica: Some Kind of Monster, we get to peek behind the curtain and see how dysfunctional some metal legends are. Babymetal are the consummate professionals, they’ve done it all, they eat genres for breakfast. Their song BxMxC is an awesome rap/metal hybrid, the live version is best

Great reaction! Please keep on reacting to Babymetal. However, if you don't mind, I would like to introduce EVE's music, a male singer and songwriter from Japan. For a startup, FIGHTSONG will be recommended by me. In every song by Eve, the guitar lines he wrote are always unique in his style. Say if you've heard his song before, you can almost guess another song you never heard and determine that's Eve's work by hearing the guitar line. His lyrics are so dark, but still remains a bit of uplifting. His another famous song is called "How to eat life"

out of curiosity, what were the 3 bands?

We love watching reacts, but for Babymetal you absolutely need to come in cold

BABYMETAL.

As they got older the less red they used in the outfits. It's probably not 100% accurate but close. They've come a long way from needing to borrow clothes as wee little 11 year olds.

You stumbled onto one of *those* compilations. Just a bunch of random concerts patched together. Babymetal's music is incredibly diverse. There's everything from upbeat to melodic, lighthearted to serious, really heavy to softer, and various shades from metal to more poppy. No song is really the same. My suggestion for comparison is Light and Darkness (Live), uploaded by who?, which is on the softer side of metal. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m5t1hJeZraysd2w.html

Compilation vid, try getting live show entire songs rather than compilation.

That's honestly why I listen to Babymetal, they are different. I went off metal for years because most bands are so cliche, good music with shitty growling or screaming vocals over the top, all look the same, all sound the same. It's boring

It’s a pity that you reacted to a compilation video. Compilation videos are, in my opinion, an insult to both the viewer and the band; the music is certainly overdubbed, and the changes in venue and costumes (sometimes even personnel) can be confusing if not completely annoying. You are not reacting to BABYMETAL, you are reacting to a highlight reel of BABYMETAL.

bro has GOT to react to babymetal death ASAP if he hasnt yet D:

They’re showing three different concerts in three different locations with three different outfits and stage set ups that’s what you keep saying
