It is the best song! So good and so exciting! They opened the concert i attended in 2019 with this and talk about oumping a crowd up!

Love this video seeing them in traditional clothes is a nice change

Consistently been their opener, or the song after in all their concerts! Even now

My favorite BabyMetal song? All of them lol. If i had to choose, maybe The Legend, Catch me if you can, Headbanger, Shine, Starlight, Arkadia...okay i cant choose.

Thanks for the great reaction! You asked so.. My fav from Babymetal is Megitsune. No, Karate. Well.. Karate Live. Nah, it's Road of Resistance Live in Japan for sure.. or maybe Monochrome or Divine Attack. Probably Monochrome. OH! Or Monochrome / Piano Ver from THE F1RST TAKE. But Sis Anger is really good as well...

Lol 2:55 is the money thumbnail👊🏽⚡️And 3:05 should be on the album liner notes🦊🤘🏾

Ijime Dame Zettai from Sonisphere 2014 at Reading. Babymetal themselves call it their most important show of their careers. It was their coming out party to the Western metal world and first big show outside Japan.

Favorite babymetal song right here 🔥 between this and Kingslayer ft. BabyMetal. Can't wait for you to react to "Rondo of Nightmare with Mischiefs of God intro Budokan live" (top 3 live shows performance)

Nice reaction brother, definitely one of my favorites. 💥🤘🦊🤘💥

From a drumer point of view, just let your mind be blown by their 'Tales of The Destinies' 😁😁 This track is like a Rubik' Cube to cover on drums.

Megitsune will forever be my favourite. Great reaction 👏

Megitsune is probably Babymetal's most iconic song and the all time fan favourite. They play it live at pretty much every concert they do and the crowd never fails to go off. The video was filmed on the Noh theater stage at Asagaya Shinmeigu, which is a Shinto shrine in suburban Tokyo dedicated to the sun goddess Amaterasu. The shrine has become a place of pilgrimage for Babymetal fans visiting Tokyo. I was lucky enough to go and visit it January this year and it was well worth seeing.

Thx for your reaction and love you appreciate them - I mean it

Want to know more? Here is a brief guide on BABYMETAL.　　 A Video for the New & Probably Lost BABYMETAL Fans kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jc1ilt2VzLfHnHU.html

Gotta check out the amazing all female Japanese band called Nemophila and their song Revive or Adabana next!

You should definitely check out their other songs, they're genuinely so amazing

I prefer watching the live versions of this, but another really good reaction

I dont know if you got it, but I sent you that list of musicians in your other video like you asked. Yea, you're going to find yourself saying this is my favorite Babymetal song so far a LOT. It is pretty standard to just assume these days that your favorite Babymetal song is the song you're currently listening to lol Pretty sure you're going to say that when you listen to Syncopation as somebody already mentiones as that is an AMAZING song, Tales of Destiny, Road of Resistance, and Rondo of Nightmare at the very least. Probabiy Shine too as that is in my opinion their best song lol

i do like tis band. catch me if you can is sweet. the other song i really like by them is, SUZUKA NAKAMOTO-Tamashii no Rufuran. check it out, its just her singing and its so catchy.

Super controversial to say that the song that wins fan polls and their second most viewed song is your favorite. :)

The three girls are really cute and beautiful in Japanese-style clothes. I love the Japanese-style scenes and music and even the choreography. Thanks for your great reaction.

I suggest that you react to BABYMETAL's first two music videos: "Doki Doki Morning" and "Iine!" (pronounced "E-nay"). They happen to be the first two tracks of the "BABYMETAL Top Twenty" that you may find most helpful in your journey down the foxhole. KITSUNE UP!!! 🤘🦊🤘

It's worth to react to a live version. Specially to the budokan of 2020, their old songs mature with them, even the childish ones.

Great reaction. As a drummer, i suggest you to see Road Of Resistance by them live in japan.. Hopefully you enjoy that

I really don't know what my favorite Baby Metal song is

_Sore!_ 🦊🤘🔥 Glad to see you're back with this suggestion, you can enjoy the song with the live sound of the Kami Band at Budokan 2014 or Budokan 2021 with the new formation. Fans were enjoying and having so much fun watching this live every night at Sabaton's Europe Tour and later at Asian and Australian Tour, they also got another Europe headline tour in November, along with the Babyklok Tour in the US, you don't wanna miss the chance to see them live and performing this song like they did recently in all these concerts, we always love the shanenigans between the girls in the middle section after the breakdown. This was released in 2013 when having around 13/14 (Yui and MoaMetal )and 15 yo (SuMetal, the lead singer), so is one of their early hits and is full of japanese elements, like the "shamizen", a japanese traditional instrument, and is a party festival song (matsuri). "Sore" "seiya" and "soya" are typical shouts among Japanese festival and it works like a "c'mon!" or "let's go" for them. During the breakdown you can hear another typical japanese folk song called "Sakura Sakura" and they're doing a traditional Japanese dance. In summary, song is about female empowerment and if you follow the lyrics you'll see about it, "Megitsune" means female fox (vixen) and they talk about women acting with a smile in their face while crying inside, just to fit in society or what is expected from them, when they're kind to you they're not trying to make falling in love with them, they're just being their own way, and men tend to confuse and think they're cheating or deceiving like the mythological fox. "Megitsune" used to be a peyorative term in Japanese culture, pretty much just like around the world, but BM is using this as a way to empower women despite the meaning itself. When SuMetal is pulling out the "tanto" she's saying "maidens shouldn't be underestimated", that refers to a japanese mob film about some boss mafia daughter before attacking someone. During live performance she does something different and looks really cool doing it. Megitsune is a quintessential BM song and among top ranking songs by fans, SuMetal said she didn't mastered yet, that's why she used to sound check with this song before live concerts. The origin of the "fox sign" is really long to explained but here's a short summary: The Fox God (Kitsune Sama) is the Metal God who sent these girls (and Kami Band after to help them with the metal sound) to unify the world and set them free from Jpop slavery. The kitsune sign came out by accident around the time they created the group by the girls when trying to imitate the typical metal horn sign they noticed it was similar when doing fox shadow shape, they implemented this as part of the lore, imagery, theme and live concerts, the lore is huge so take your time and keep digging and riding the Foxhole 🦊🤘 Btw they praised for real and made a ritual to the Fox God for this song to be a hit and successful, and thanks to the Fox God this is one of their major hits and favorite BM fan songs. -NotACult- 👀 This is a song with the arrangements by YuppeMetal, he took inspiration from "Memphis May Fire - The Sinner" for the drum section, another song that i recommend you for your own time if you want. Next suggestion: - Ijime, Dame, Zettai live at Sonisphere Festival 2014. I really enjoyed your reaction and how you got shocked with this song. Btw stay tuned next August 18, a huge new collab song is gonna be released along with the living legend Tom Morello from RATM, can't wait for it See you next time. 🦊🤘🔥

Megitsune:- "Megitsune" (メギツネ, "Vixen") is the second major label single by the Japanese kawaii metal band Babymetal. It was released in Japan on June 19, 2013 as the fifth single from the album Babymetal. It is also the first single released independently from the idol group Sakura Gakuin. The single was first announced for a June release on April 1, 2013. The single was released in four versions: a standard edition and three limited editions. The "Ki", "Tsu", and "Ne" (Kitsune means "fox" in Japanese) limited editions included single artwork focused on Nakamoto, Mizuno, and Kikuchi respectively, and their included DVDs feature footage of two songs from each of the live performances from Live: Legend I, D, Z Apocalypse. Additionally, the single included a chance to contain a ticket to the premium event Kitsune Festival at Meguro Rock May Kan on July 14, 2013. To promote the release, the band was featured in the June issue of Marquee and on the cover of the July issue of Hedoban, in addition to collaborating with Tower Records for the 34th rendition of the event No Music, No Idol?. Babymetal concert chronology:- •Babymetal Death Match Tour 2013: May Revolution (2013) •Babymetal World Tour 2014 (2014). The Babymetal Death Match Tour 2013: May Revolution (BABYMETAL DEATH MATCH TOUR 2013 -五月革命-, Babymetal Death Match Tour 2013 -Gogatsu Kakumei-) was a promotional concert tour by Babymetal, occurring in conjunction with the promotion of "Megitsune". The band performed four shows, with two on the final tour date, at the same venue. Customers who purchased tickets to the tour could receive an exclusive edition of the single, with a remix by Yuyoyuppe, under the name DJ'Tekina//Something. According to Mizuno, the tour was designed to be a "training tour". During each of the four shows the three members wore stage costumes for the eras of "Doki Doki ☆ Morning" (which had become nostalgically small for them), "Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!", and "Ijime, Dame, Zettai", respectively, with the final show premiering new costumes for "Megitsune".

Great reaction. 'Megitsune' (good job with the pronunciation by the way) often tops fan polls for their favourite song - it is always right up there among or top of my own personal favourites (but that can change depending on my mood - or which song I am listening to). It is also arguably the song that showcases better than most what BABYMETAL are about and one that truly reflects their Japanese culture the best starting with the traditional instruments (shamisen or koto, you decide which) in the intro and the lyrics about women being compared to foxes (kitsune - which also explains all the fox masks in the video) which, in Japanese mythology, are able to shape shift and take human form in order to deceive. It is also a bit of a push back against the traditional female role in Japanese society I think - or maybe it is - whilst also praising and celebrating the women who have played that role over the years for their strength. They are saying that women wearing their make up and hiding their true feelings ("crying at heart, smiling at face") are not trying to deceive anybody, they are simply trying to please everybody - so they are not kitsune (foxes), they are megitsune (female foxes or vixens) - and they are strong. The melody used in the breakdown with the pig squeals in the middle of the song (they also use it as the intro when they play it live) is from the very well known Japanese folk song called 'Sakura Sakura' (Cherry Blossoms). When Su pulled out the tanto (short blade) from her microphone. She said "Otome wa ... nametara ikan zeyo." (Maidens ... shouldn't be underestimated). The last part of this is a famous quote from a Japanese gangster movie said by the daughter of a gang boss. Much of the video was shot on location at the Asagaya Shinmei Shrine in Tokyo. This has become a place of pilgrimage for BABYMETAL fans visiting Tokyo. The guys at the back waving the traditional instruments about were dancers with the lady who did the fan dance's troupe.

Your favourite BM song is usually the one you are listening to xd. Megitsune is sitting in my personal top 5 BM songs and that hasn’t changed much since I discovered them. Next, as other suggested “Ijime , Dame, Zettai” live at Sonisphere 2014. 🤘🔥🦊

I thought I was a Japanophile. I just got started. In 2020 I wanted a shimisen and couldn't afford one so I built one.

They actually have a song called _Syncopation,_ from the 2nd album, and it's an amazing one too.

Sure you gotta watch the original vid BUT the Live Budakon Black Night version should be your next, mindblowing performance AND the Original Trio Budakon NOT 2021.

I recommend BxMxC live 🤘

And deeper! NOT A CULT

🤘🦊♪

This song is a masterpiece! 🤘🦊🤘

Thanks for reacting to this one, it's a cool song with so much of their style and sound to it, there are dozens of live versions that are a blast to watch as well because of the audience interactions and specific concert/venue themes that can be introduced. for example "red fox festival vsn" a one night concert with an exclusively female audience, this song which has strong themes of empowerment lands differently there. My less controversial take: the best babymetal song is the most recent one I listened to. this has held up for a while, for me at least.

React to the newest Babymetal song metali

😎😎😎🤘🤘🤘

Megitsune is both my favorite song and mv and your pronunciation of it is good. But, if this isn’t actually my favorite then Ijime, Dame, Zettai has to be. Sometime have a look at the Sonisphere 2014 version. 🤘🦊🤘

Great reaction, thanks! Saying that "Megitsune" is your favorite BABYMETAL song is being controversial? Get in line! Hahaha... because this is one of their most loved songs and the most performed live one (278 times and counting!). And my absolute favorite song alongside "Akatsuki". Takehiro Mamiya aka Yuyoyuppe aka Yuppemetal, the song's arranger, told that he needed 36 demos to make Kobametal (their producer) 100% happy with the final result. Crazy? Maybe. But this is the reason why the song is a masterpiece. And this music video is also a work of art, in my opinion. So, here is my other favorite song (I can't decide which one I prefer): "Akatsuki" (Live at Budokan Black Night 2014): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nZhjapV0mraufIE.html Until next time! 🤘🦊

BABYMETAL is said by some to be a band that measures the level of music of those who listen to them. Those who are deeply involved in music will be drawn in deeper. There are many more songs and several live performances of the same song for your enjoyment! From Japan🦊

👍 I like this MV because it gives more insight into their message. I also learn so much from the comments from the fan base: for instance, one pointed out how at the beginning YUI and MOA pull on SU’s Japanese costume and the next scene she is transformed into SU-METAL. 🦊 🖖❤

Megitsune, or vixen, is one of BM's female empowerment songs. The temple and the Japanese instruments sets a very traditional tone, but right from the start old Japanese values are challenged as Yui and Moa pull on Su's obi (sash) to release her from her kimono so she can do the high leg lift dance. That dance contrasts with the traditional restrained dance in the break down. That break down is a very old song called "Sakura, Sakura" and is about the cherry blossom, but BM even subvert that and Su sing's "kitsune, kitsune" (fox, fox). This also might be an expression of BM moving away from their parent idol group which was Sakura Gakuin or Cherry Blossom Academy. In Japan the fox is seen as a clever shape shifter and the lyrics liken women to female foxes in the way they have to change themselves to please others or to hide their true feelings. In the dance BM mime wearing a mask and also putting on make up as another way to hide themselves. But the strength of women is emphasized and the expression of this peaks when Su shouts: "Otome wa nametara ikan zeyo" and draws a knife from her microphone. The phrase is translated as "Maidens shouldn’t be underestimated" (credit Du-metal), although that is a polite interpretation. It's also used in a famous Japanese gangster film called Onimasa and is translated there as " don't you sh*t with me". Some of BM's lyrics can be quite shocking to Japanese audiences and native speakers say that gets lost on non-Japanese speakers who have to experience Babymetal's lyrics through the distorting lens of translation. You have so many great songs and performances to listen to from their earlier incarnation with Yui. Classics include "Catch me if You Can", "Akatsuki" (Su solo), "Rondo of Nightmare" {Su Solo), "Yava" (for some ska) and the amazing "Tales of The Destinies". Always look for the longer videos with Kami Band intros.

Can you go one sentence whitout cussing?

Bro please stop music videos... Babymetal are a live band you should always react to live videos... My favorites are "Road of resistance (live in Japan)", "ijime, dame, zettai (live at sonisphere)" and "Arkadia".

Do yourself a favor and stop watching the videos. BM can only truly be experienced the right way by watching their live performances. There are tons of videos of their songs being performed live out there, so watch those if yiu want the REAL BM experience.
