In all of my 56 years, never have I seen a band control a crowd better than these girls.

Interesting fact: Babymetal has a song originally recorded with Dragonforce guitarist, Herman Li. While that's cool on its own, their actual guitarist plays that song at the same tempo in their live shows. The backing band for Babymetal, Kami Band, are a whole show on their own. I'd recommend watching the Rondo of Nightmare live show with the Kami Band intro to see their talent and hear more of the lead singer, Su, absolutely killing vocals.

Babymetal are literally that group you didn't know you needed until you stumble on them. Always blows my mind that in this video Su is 15 and Moa and Yui are only 13. They're literally babies but have so much energy and stage presence. Would highly recommend the Road of Resitsnce Live in Japan video, their performance and staging are incredible, the band get to show how skilled they are, and you get to hear Su's incredible live vocals. Also, that video is from 7 years ago when they were only 15-17 years old, and they were already playing a sold out 37,000 capacity with the crowd in palm of their hands. Absolutely insanity

As everyone else says....the live is worth seeing. These girls push themselves to the limit.

"This makes me so happy" and "This is something I didn't know I needed" sounds like my first reaction too; it's just the Babymetal way. They have so much good stuff, you're in for a whole heap of treats. "Headbangeeer" at Legend 1997 (Su the lead singer's 16th birthday, 1997 is when she was born) or "Road of Resistance" the official video will show you just how astronomically good they are live. Sit back and enjoy, you'll love it here in the foxhole with the rest of us.

When Su pulls the Tanto out of her microphone, she says, "Otome wa Name tara i kanzeyo!" "Maidens are not to be underestimated."

their live performances are where they really shine! would highly recommend just typing "live" after whatever song you look up!

First time hearing this group. Their voices are gorgeous.

The hardest working metal band in the world. PERIOD. Seen them live 4 times. 2 of which required me getting on an airplane. Worth every penny. They put on the greatest show. I saw both the largest US show and the smallest US show last tour. LA Forum and Portland OR. Both shows had one huge thing in common. The dedication and energy that went into them. Doesn't matter what size the venue, this band puts in 100%. I watched one video and didn't really have an opinion, but 3 months later that song grew and grew in my brain and I have been a huge fan ever since. I would recommend Karate as one of your first few tracks. That one is right up your alley...

5:58 "It's probably a lit concert!" - That would be the understatement of the century

Babymetal is what got me interested into more types of metal. Even after all the amazing songs they have released, Road of Resistance is still my favorite song from them! definitely hope you check out more of their music!

Next suggestion: - _"Road Of Resistance"_ live in Japan official, is heavily blocked so take precautions putting some filters like you did here.

The coolest thing about them is that both of you will find something for yourself. For Metal Head, I suggest the following songs: Headbanger live legend 1997 Road of Resistance live in Japan For HipHop Head: BxMxC - There may be an official video, but feel free to use some from the concert Pa Pa Ya live in Japan In addition to great songs, Babymetal have amazing concerts where even the audience is choreographed. It remains to welcome you into the FoxHole, Kitsune up guys ;) ps. In addition, if you want to explore the voice of the girls Rondo of Nightmare (With mischiefs gods intro) - Suzuka(lead singer) sings a solo here, rather a song for Metal Head Onedari Daisakusen - Sung by Moa and Yui, a song with a slight hip-hop vibe

I've been fortunate enough to see them several times live in Japan and they always bring their A game. I actually prefer their live sound to their studio sound, live is definitely the way to go with Babymetal.

🤘🦊🤘 "Kawaii metal" is the genre they pioneered.

Welcome to the Foxhole and BabyMetal Galaxy 🦊🤘 BM are still "relevant" and they're back after a year of official hiatus with new singles (2 already out) and 3 more coming next year along with live performance and album release, later they will join Sabaton's Europe Tour. They're showing us a new side we've never seen before, so don't worry to jump to this era yet, stay with their early era and get to know how and why they arrive here and still being in the spotlight. Funny you mentioned BMTH, they got the best 2020 collab song called "Kingslayer", and BMTH been performing this song at their live concerts and festival more recently. BabyMetal is a Japanese metal dance unit created in 2010 under another Jpop/Jrock group called Sakura Gakuin, they had 11 and 12 years old and become independent after 2013, they created their own genre called kawaii-metal (kawaii means cute), mixing Jpop with metal sound and different subgenres along with many more rhythms, they are: - SuMetal lead vocalist, currently about to get 25 next December 20. - MoaMetal scream and dance, currently 23 yo. - YuiMetal, scream and dance, former member since 2018. None of them are related. This was released in 2013 when having around 13/14 and 15 yo, 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. I think you need to work with the pronunciation, so to say it right you can use a translator app, but it reads something like "meh- git - su - neh". 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. Japanese friends told that "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 (the lead singer) is pulling out the "tanto" she's saying "maidens shouldn't be uderstimated", 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 you will hear her doing sound check with this song before live concerts. One of my favorite version is the "Red Fox Festival 2017" with a room full of megitsune only, you can find that at Babymetal Reactor Resource. 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" 👀 We know Amuse is very hard to deal with copyright blocked issues, fortunately we got a way to go around with "Babymetal Reactor Resource" YT place, you'll get full original clips of their best live performance with watermarked logo safe to react, look for "Future Plans" vid, follow instructions and you'll get all of them, upload the one with the logo for us and you can watch without it, don't worry for us we already saw all of them. You'll find some watermarked clips in the channel also with the description and where to get the non-logo version. If you want you can watch the original clean version and pause whenever you like to say your comment and after that you can put a logo provided in the same place so you can enjoy a clean version from the beginning. You can also put some heavy opacity and translucent effect to avoid those issues if necessary. However there are some safe clips to react like those from Legend 1997 or some of Budokan 2014 or previous to this year and Festivals that is out of reach from Amuse hands. By all means AVOID live compilations at least for first time watching, not saying all of them are bad but chances are you'll end up facing the bad ones bad edited, very confusing, switching costumes and distracting you from the performance and meaning of the song. Also avoid Glastonbury Festival performance, the sound is bad and the crowd isn't the usual fans. Here's some examples of safe to react live performances: - "Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!" live at Legend 1997 (2013, you can find this a "Gans Tomas" or "abr metal") got this under Head Bangya title; or live at Legend I (2012) is another good option. - "Rondo Of Nightmare" with Mischiefs Of Gods Intro live at Budokan 2014, this one normally is safe to react without any filters. ("Kawaii Metal" got this clip) - "Catch Me If You Can", you got live at Budokan 2014 with subtitles version at "GuilhermeCait" or live at MetroRock 2015 in Babymetal Reactor Resource under the title "CMIYC". - "Ijime Dame Zettai" live at Sonisphere Festival 2014 (lately hasn't been so safe, so careful) - "Karate" live at Download Festival 2016 ("kitsune6001" got this one). If you follow this step by step you won't have blocked issues the majority of times, but sometimes there has been issues with certain songs so if you got those try to put opacity, blur or translucent effect, that might help a little bit. Now you know why we said "kitsune" (fox) to male fans and "megitsune" to female fans but collectively we are officially known as "The One". See you next time.🦊🤘🔥

You need experience these ladies live to fully appreciate what this band is all about. First on your list should be Road of Resistance live. That one should make it clear what you are in store for. Great reaction btw, more Baby Metal please

These guys put on live shows like the best of them. And unless you find really old stuff, they are basically fully live too. If you want one that highlights the band "Rondo of Nightmare" a Budokan Black. "Road to Resistance" is great too.

The operatic mix with metal is something that they truly did with "Rondo of Nightmare". Watch the live version if you can, gets kinda theatrical with a nice instrumental in the beginning that's kinda representative of how they're actually better live than with the studio recordings. Sounds much more organic.

A song that is both metal and rap! They have a song called BxMxC. There is a fancam version with good sound recorded in Bruxelles. It is awesome and you don't need to blur that video.

They are from Japan, and the sub genre is Kawaii metal (cute metal), which they basically pioneered. If you decide to react to more, I recommend BxMxC. It's very manic, and I love it.

Check out their performance Live at Sonisphere in 2014, especially Ijime Dame Zettai, it's one of their earliest live shows outside of Japan IIRC. The crowd had no idea what they were in for at the beginning of the set and by the end they were completely into it.

From the outside, it just looks like any normal shrine with a sizeable stone torii gate but just a short walk beyond that is the main filming location for the ‘ Megitsune ‘ (2013) music video.The Noh Hall is used for various traditional performing arts, festivals and a Babymetal video! The three girls and the band perform the song on stage with the modern impression of bonsai pictured on the wooden panel behind them. This part of the shrine complex is not open every day so please be aware of that should you wish to see it in all its glory. Sunday seems to be the best bet for when it is open for public viewing. This is one of the “Ten Shrines Of Tokyo‘ which are considered the most important as they were selected in 1868 by Emperor Meiji after he had moved to Edo and renamed it Tokyo. The beautiful red torii gates also featured in ‘Tokyo Pop‘ (1988) and they are proof that you really don’t need to go to Kyoto to see such an image!

This was videoed at a real Temple. Today that Temple is a must for "The One" (fans) when visiting Japan. Su is 15 and Yui and Moa are 13/14! What were you doing when you were 15!! Su says "Maidens are not to be underestimated" when she pulls the knife. It's from a crime movie and said by the crime lord daughter. Babymetal has release 2 new songs for their comeback. NEXT - "Karate" live at the Download Festival. or "Headbanger" Legend of 1997, they are 16 and 14 yo.

The best live band ever🤘🦊

My recommendation is to watch their live stuff. Their know how to put on a show and work a crowd. Headbanger, Road of Resistance, and Starlight are favorites of mine. They have also recently released two singles from an upcoming album.

I always showed up for your NF reactions. I’m now here for your BabyMetal reactions…MORE!!!

If I remember correctly, the scream portion was recorded by the woman who is performing the fan dance. Also, it’s “may-git-sue-nay”

That was a very enjoyable reaction! Yes, it's Metal, but it's happy. You have pretty much hit the nail on the head. There's incredible talent, a totally new approach that somehow manages to work despite the obvious clashing of different elements, and the energy is awesome. Now, imagine that kind of energy turned up to 200%, and you know what this is like live. There's a wide range of everything you can imagine between Metal and Pop, with influences from Reggae, Ska, Waltz, Hip Hop, Dubstep, EDM and more in their music. So not all of their songs sound like this, but all of them sound great. And the live package is as complete as it gets. The dancing adds so much to the entertainment value, after a few videos you'll be wondering how other bands can even get along without it. I would recommend checking out "Headbanger" from the "Legend 1997" show next. You'll be blown away and need a chisel to remove the smiles from your faces.

always wanted to see them Live Concert they're on my List tbh very entertaining even if you're a Metalhead like really metalhead their concert is sooo entertaining worth every penny 🤣

Megitsune is a great song. The best video to start with in my opinion is "Ijime,Dame,Zettai - Live at Sonisphere 2014"

I recently listened to their album Metal Galaxy and Shine is probably my favorite song by them right now. Su's voice really "shines" in it, lol.

So glad you listened to this one first! Many go for Gimme Chocolate!! first due to that being what exploded them onto the scene in the first place, and it's an awesome song as well, but it was definitely made to sound more "radio-friendly", if that makes sense. Megitsune shows off their talents a lot better, both the girls and the Kami Band. Oh, and it's pronounced, Meh-gi-(t)su-ney. Would love to see you react to Iine, Karate, and Road to Resistance (live is best!)

MEGITSUNE is their 2nd single

Keep in mind too, Babymetal started their band when they were 9 years old! (Also, they just released Divine Attack-Shingeki and Monochrome)

Watching their live videos will blow your mind, the energy they have plus the crowd control is absolutely amazing I hope to watch you enjoy down this rabbit hole

⚡ 💀 💕 / 🦊 ⛩ [MOA] SU-METAL will slash you. Really. [YUI] Yeah. [SU] (laughs) (Megitsune video commentary from the BABYMETAL members) The lyric when Su pulls the tanto (short blade) out of the microphone is: "Otome wa… nametara ikan zeyo." ("Maidens… should not be underestimated.") Su was 15. Yui and Moa were 13, almost 14 when the music video was released. Even though they were wearing white robes, this was not the Kami Band that BABYMETAL have at live shows. The performers pretending to play the traditional Japanese instruments in this video are dancers with the Movement Design group. Chidori Yakumo is their director. She is the woman performing the fan dance during the breakdown. Megitsune is my jam. It's still my favorite BABYMETAL song, video and choreography. Definitely quintessential BABYMETAL and their most Japanese song. You could even call this Kawaii Festival Metal. With some electronicore mixed in. BABYMETAL's producer Koba sent this song back to the song arranger Yuyoyuppe dozens of times before he was satisfied with it. This one consistently tops fan polls, and has been performed live more than any other BABYMETAL song. BTW, "Megitsune" is more like "Meh-gee-tsoo-neh", with that "ts" sound being like the "ts" at the end of "hats". There is no silent "e" at the end of words in Japanese.

They definitely put on crazy concerts. Watch some of their live performances. The crowds they draw and command they have over them is absolutely wild

A BABYMETAL classic. Nice reaction. BTW the lyrics are great, and very telling.

To start evaluating them I would suggest "Road of Resistance - Live in Japan". 👏👏👏

Enjoy this trip down the fox hole. Best suggestion I have is take it chronologically as much as you can start at or near the beginning and enjoy the evolution of this incredible band.

I worked at a big telecom in japan, and one of my coworkers in late 2014 kept telling me about this band, I didn't want to listen when he described them as young girls, so he puts this video and all the albums including Legend 1997 full concert on a thumb drive. 18hr flight back home I pop it in my laptop and It was like I entered another world, If you get a chance check out Legend 1997 full it is absolutely nuts and full of this energy

Kyle, dude! They DO have a fight song, it's called "Karate" and it's awesome!

BABYMETAL BEEN A FAN SINCE .2018 WHEN I FIRST LISTEN TO THEM.A RABBIT HOLE FOR SURE THESE GIRLS STARTED WHEN THEY WERE 12YRS OLD.BABYMETAL IS THE BIRTH OF NEW METAL GENRE ANY WAY YOU WILL ENJOY THEM P,S.HEAVY ON THE COPYRIGHT

I highly recommend listening to Road of Resistance and Rondo of Nightmare both Live. They're a heavy metal and japanese pop mix. Hence their name Babymetal. Incredibly good and I found them when they came out 😂 absolutely adore them

If you want a live version of the wonderful world of Babymetal, check out "Rondo of NIghtmare with the instrumental opening by the Kami Band. If you search it on youtube as "Rondo of NIghtmare", the channel "Ferr" has a good copy of the whole thing. Make sure to blur it and stop and start and you'll be great! DO IT PLEASE! And then do the other 40 songs in their discography.

Nice reaction. A hip hop head and a metalhead just now hearing Babymetal. I would say folks have been holding out on you guys. Your set up has just been waiting for you to find Babymetal. Their music kawaii metal is a metal base with a Jpop top and whatever music they feel like putting in the middle. Babymetal is a unique group. They have done things their own way since 2010. Recording their first album around two years later. Megitsune is Babymetals most performed song. And yes, it's very lit when they do it live. Which brings me to something you will find even cooler than watching their music videos. Watch them perform live. They've won awards for their live performances. If watching this music video is cool. Check out their other music videos. And then watch those same songs performed live. Moves the song to new levels amazement. Then check out their other songs that they only have live performance videos of. Some are next level of epicness. While babymetal dances to all their music. There really is no comparison between Babymetal anyone else. because outside of dancing there isn't much to compare as they are different genres of music. Apples to oranges kind of thing. Babymetal was one of the first bands if not the first metal band to have full on dance routines to all of their songs. Babymetal is the three girls dancing and singing. When they perform live they have a stage band playing the music called the Kamiband. Put them together and the unreal happens. Jpop and metal working together in ways no one thought possible. As for the lyrics of this song most do as Su says, "Don't Think, Feel". She paraphrased Bruce Lee but it still works when listening to Babymetal. Overall, the song is a statement about females in Japanese society. But it could be in other places as well. Kitsune are shapeshifters who change shape to trick folks. Here they make that a comparison to ladies wearing makeup. Not doing it fool anyone. They do it more to hide how they feel inside as socially in Japan. Ladies aren't supposed to show their emotions. Just smile and nod. Babymetal wants to break that by say it's Ok. Ladies are Megitsune. Basically, saying their better than that and a step above. Fox's play a big part in Babymetals symbols because of this song. You will see fox's everywhere around Babymetal. Including their hand gestures. They give the fox sign instead of the devil horns like you would see at most metal performances. all part of Babymetal doing things their own way. Which is why Babymetal is everything you want in music and somethings you didn't know you needed.

I discovered BABYMETAL around 2015/2016, and have been listening to them daily since 2019 but I don't know the English translations to their songs. BUT I do know what the songs are about and that actually helps especially since all their songs have great messages or themes.

More BabyMetal please... Top band in live shows, watch their songs live and enjoy gentlemen 🖤🖤🖤

Try BMC live preferably from Japan - it may suit both of you (in preference to the MV). This track is pronounced meg-it-sun-eh (roughly) and the instruments are Shamisen or related

You should see Baby Metals live performances; they are intense no matter which ones you view however the live are more impressive since they aren't cut and pieced together like videos are.

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.

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 in the back are called the kami band. two guitarist six string bassist and a drummer. They do most of the screaming in back round.

i got so excited when i saw this video pop up and it was baby metal

You just described the magic of babymetal perfectly. So glad to see people still discovering and appreciating them. I hope you react to more

> "Are they still relevant?" Yeah... Sort of... They are about to release their fourth studio album called "The Other One" in March next year. Maybe you wanna take a glimpse? "Monochrome" (official lyric video, rel. some weeks ago) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fNaAdbOCusqqqGw.html And believe me: You want to see them live! Need proof? "Road of Resistance" live at Saitama Super Arena in 2015 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sLp1jLh3zLLalY0.html

“It’s probably a lit concert”… you have no idea!! #notacult

Nothing like first reactions. The thing about Babymetal is, they'll blow your mind time and time again.

In the future BM reactions should be from Live concerts not compilation videos if possible. Thats because each song at a specific concert can be slightly different at another concert and sometimes completely different. If a Kami Band intro is included go with that one.

They are Japanese and if you were getting fight music vibes from this, I highly recommend checking out BxMxC by them if you haven’t already. It’s more recent than Megitsune. I have a feeling you guys will love it!

BABYMETAL 101 Babymetal is a Japanese group founded in 2010 and produced by Kei “Koba” Kobayashi from the Amuse Inc. talent agency. Babymetal name comes from the birth of a new style of metal fusing j-pop with metal creating what they call Kawaii Metal (Cute-Metal). The group currently consists of Suzuka Nakamoto aka “Su-Metal” (23 years old) sometimes referred to as Vocal and Dance, and Moa Kikuchi aka "Moametal", pronounced as Moa-Metal (22 years old) sometimes referred to as Scream and Dance. With a third girl filling the third slot, in a 3-member formation. This girls is known as an Avenger her name is Momoko Okazaki (18 years old). They are supported by a rotating selection of talented male backing musicians known as the Kami Band (Kami is usually poorly translated as gods, but in truth it more closely means awe inspiring spirit, entity, or object) It is why they are dressed in white to look like ghosts or spirits, though Kami being used as God(s) is so common in translation the white outfits get lost. Past Formations. Heavy Music Club Era (2010-2012) From 2010 to 2012 Babymetal consist of a three-member formation, Suzuka Nakamoto (Age 12), Moa Kikuchi (Age 10), and Yui Mizuno aka "Yuimetal" pronounced Yui-Metal. (Age 10). First starting out as the Heavy Music Club as a subunit within the Developmental Idol Group created by Amuse in 2010 known as Sakura Gakuin. Sakura Gakuin is a group that introduces girls between the ages of 10-15 to music, dance, modeling, and acting through Japanese Pop idol music and culture. Given a school theme, all three would be a part of Sakura Gakuin until their graduation from it in the same school year they would graduate from Japanese middle school or 15 years old. Suzuka graduated in March 2013, and Moa and Yui in March of 2015. Sakura Gakuin is a fantastic group with great kawaii jpop songs in their own right. During this time there was no lore, and the girl’s costumes were more punkish in nature which they helped create. They also didn’t perform with live music, using a backing track or the “Skeleton band” people pretending to play music behind them. Music Video of this Era Doki Doki Morning Iine (Pronounced EE-NAH spelled i i n e) Headbangya Babymetal/ Metal Resistance Era (2012-2017) Starting in 2012 with the Legend I concert, Babymetal began its slow divorce from Sakura Gakuin, and was the first introduction of the Kami Band as well as the “Lore” that is still heavily involved in Babymetal but makes far less sense than it did during this time. The Lore is complex and involves a battle against other evil idol corporations, gaining powers, some time travel, running a resistance group, all at the direction of a mythical deity known as the fox god, against an all power enemy known as Akiba. The first Legend show I was the Kami Bands introduction to the end, but it also had the Skeleton Band which is seen in the wildly popular Gimmie Chocolate Music Video. This was followed by Legend D, and then Legend Z, in which it was learned that Babymetal would continue as its own entity after Suzuka’s graduation from Sakura Gakuin in March of 2013. Slowly over 2013 the Skeleton Band would be phased out of all live shows, as Babymetal came into their own. Babymetal as it is most commonly known as with Su-Metal, Moametal, Yuimetal, the Kami Band, and a somewhat understandable lore is what consisted for the majority of it’s existence. Also established beyond the 3 member formation, they had 2 other set ups, one was what fans called Su-Solos, and it would just be Su on stage with the Kami band, performing a solo, and the other is known as Black Babymetal by the band themselves, which consisted of just Moa and Yui. Music Videos of this Era Gimmie Chocolate Megitsune Rondo of Nightmare - With mischief of the Gods Intro (Su Solo and a great expedition of the Kami Band) Road of Resistance Live in Japan (Co-written by Dragonforce) Iijime, Dame, Zettai Live at Sonisphere (Name means No More Bullying Forever) Karate The Dark Times, The Chosen 7 Era (2018) In December 2017, Yui would miss the Legend-S concert for health reasons, these health problems would prosiest into 2018 and greatly affect the 2018 touring season bring the “Chosen 7” formation, consisting of Suzuka Nakamoto, Moa Kikuchi, and 2 backing dancers Minako Maruyama, and Minami Tsukui. Changes they would not tell fans and all throughout 2018 communicate extraordinarily little causing lots of pain for all involved fan and performer. This era is noted by their strange armor like costumes, sometimes referred to as Elf Armor. To make the poor communication, and Yui’s absence wasn’t bad enough, one of the more regular Kami band members, Mikio Fujioka passed away after falling off a balcony in late December 2017 while star gazing. A beloved and incredibly talented musician lost leaving behind his wife and only child. In September 2018 Yui would formally resign from Babymetal, stating her unspecified health and wishing to move on. Babymetal themselves announced that the group will move on focusing on Suzuka and Moa. (Something many idiots within the fandom refuse or are too stupid to understand) In October Babymetal had a concert called Dark Night Carnival which added dancers, Shoko Akiyama, Saya Hirai, and Kotono, placing a total of seven girls on stage. This was also done without warning to fans and was an absolute mess. Babymetal would finish off the 2018 tour season returning to the 3-member formation with just Saya Hirai joining them in southeast Asia and Australia. Ending one of the most troubling times in Babymetal’s history. Music Videos of this Era (These MVs do not feature the members in them at all) Distortion Starlight (Don’t let overzealous fans fool you, this is OFFICIALLY not a tribute to anyone. A lot of fan speculation, end of story if they claim it is they are 100% lying to you.) Metal Galaxy Era (2019- Feb 2020) The current set up was first introduced in 2019 during the Babymetal Arises concert in Yokohama, before the start, the “Avenger” support dancer concept was explained in the lore, and the concept thanks to communication and a maintaining of the 3-member formation brought Babymetal out of dark times brought about during 2018. Babymetal seemed to have returned to its roots with the Avengers, as 2 of the three (Kano and Momoko) come from Sakura Gakuin. The third Riho, went to the same performing arts school as Suzuka during the same time, Actors School Hiroshima aka ASH. Music Videos of this Era Pa Pa Ya Elevator Girl Shanti Shanti Da Da Dance (Avenger confusion) Which Avenger one sees can be confusing for those new to Babymetal. For the Music Videos, Pa Pa Ya, Elevator Girl, and Shanti Shanti Shanti, it is Kano Fujihira, who was just 14 years old at the time. Da Da Dance is a compilation of Momoko and Riho and a splicing of 2 different shows. In most fan cam videos of the American and European tour it would be either Riho or Momoko, as they toured with Babymetal in 2019. Kano had responsibilities with Sakura Gakuin as its president, a position Suzuka and Moa both held in Sakura Gakuin, and she’s never flown on a plane before. Some fans for 2019 did throw a stupid temper tantrum over the use of new Kami Band members who are from the west now known as the West Coast Kami Band, but like how the girls won over many, so did they and the payoff with the Legend Metal Galaxy concert in 2020 was well worth it. COVID Era (Mar 2020 to April 2021) COIVD-19 has messed up a lot of things for everyone, Babymetal had to cancel their Asian tour, as well their big 10th Anniversary on October 10, 2020. Forced to keep it rather tame something very unlike Babymetal as even in their failures like the entire 2018 tour they do it septically. The question for many fans is what of the Avengers, since COVID, Avenger Riho Sayashi has signed with a new agency and has move on to other projects, including starting a fan club, which appears to rule her out of ever being an Avenger again. Kano Fujihara has graduated from Sakura Gakuin on August 30, 2020, a near 4-month delay. However, she and fellow Sakura Gakuin graduates Soyoka Yoshida, Tsugumi Aritomo, and Momoe Mori in the formation of @onefive. Which leaves Momoko Okazaki as last standing Avenger with no new commitments. However, Kano was technically in Sakura Gakuin, @onefive, and Babymetal all at the same time for almost a year so it is possible she will still be an Avenger. All shows since COVID pandemic they have done in 2020 and in 2021 have had Momoko as the Avenger.

52 meralhead here. They’re exactly what you’d expect. And the band is dope. I dig Babymetal 🎸

This is one of the best live bands on the planet to me and so many others. Would highly suggest checking out a live stage in the future, if you want!

please do their song "akatsuki" live next :)))) akatsuki means red moon btw and megitsune means female fox or vixen if you will :)

撮影場所になった「阿佐ヶ谷神明宮」は、私の家から電車で約７分です 🦊⛩

to this day the best concert ive ever been to, and ive been to a good deal of concerts

The band in the video background was just extras not really playing anything. The Kami Band are an act unto themselves, but the combination with Su, Moa, and Yui was something I never knew I needed. A few years ago they performed live with Rob Halford, and Corey Taylor is such a huge fan that he gave them a cameo in his music video for "CMFT Must Be Stopped."

Babymetal is awesome, they have been around for over a decade.. yui metal, moa metal are the backup singers and su metal is the main singer. Japanese metal at its best

You NEED to react to their live concert videos . Their MV's are great but the live shows are on a level most bands can only dream of .

The great thing about Babymetal is you have no need to understand the lyrics to enjoy their songs. Their choreography is deliberately interpretive in order to provide some meaning to non-Japanese audiences. Lead singer Suzuka Nakamoto (Su-metal) was specifically chosen to be the foundation of Babymetal by producer Kei Kobayashi (Kobametal) when he saw her perform at the age of 11, not only because of her powerful stage presence, but also because she sings loud enough to not get drowned out by the loud metal instruments. Su will be turning 25 this week (December 20th) and The ONE (Babymetal's fan-base) are looking forward to celebrating our Queen's birthday! (NotACult)

... more Babymetal please. Their live shows are an experience 🦊🤘

Nice reaction, if you will do another reaction, i would recommend "Catch me if you can" with intro or "Rondo of Nightmare" with Mischiefs of Metal Gods intro - both from Budokan 2014! In both intros the Kami Band (backing band) is showing off (something you don't want to miss!)

Yall seriously. Live songs you've gotta watch. -- Headbanger - Live at Legend 1997 Road of Resistance - Live in Japan Rondo of Nightmare with Mischiefs of Metal Gods Intro - Live at Budokan Black Night

I love reading the comment section on all the BABYMETAL videos and reactions to BABYMETAL… I learned so much about them! I just learned about them less than a week ago, and yes I didn’t know I was needing this in my life! It is hard to put into words… You guys need to see gimme chocolate! Lol

"Their concerts must be lit!" Dude.

Please if you can, I know that there is a "list" of suggestions to react to their songs, the best live videos and acceptable to youtube reaction channels ;) Please! Keep them coming 🤘💫

You should totally check out the official live video for "Rondo of Nightmare", which features a long instrumental intro where their backup band, the Kami Band, shows off how incredibly skilled they are.

Nice first reaction, and good song as a first reaction. Since one of you is a metal-head, and the other is into hiphop, I think you guys might like to check out Iine (2 letter i's, so it isn't line, but pronounced EEnay). And although live is always better than the music videos, in this particular case, I'd recommend the music video, or even better do a double feature, where you do the music video first, then do a live version. This way you can even see the difference. Either way I think you'll enjoy it. That being said, you can't really go wrong with these girls. It is also really fascinating watching and listening to them as they are growing older. It isn't something you can actually witness very often seeing as in this video I think the singer is 15 and the 2 dancers are 14. I might be a year off, but that is pretty much their ages in this video. Main singer was born in 1997, 2 dancer a year and a half before that.

"Maidens should not be underestimated"!! Quintessential Babymetal!! Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!

If I'm recalling correctly, when they debuted in 2010 the girls were 10 and 11 years old. One of the trio, Yuimetal, left back in 2018 due to illness, but the other 2 are still going strong.

"Ancient maidens, you sing in the transient dream. Getting over thousands years, you live inside us. Ah, it's right. Always women are actresses. We're not foxes, not deceiving. Maidens... ... 'shouldn't be underestimated!' Ah, girls are becoming more like an ideal woman. Continuously, to keep blazing, we shoot up the fireworks. Ah, blooming and falling is the fate for a woman. Smiling at face, crying at heart, we're pure-hearted maiden-like female foxes."

I'd recommend two songs for you guys to check out live. Road of Resistance is always the go to for most people, but I will always suggest Rondo of nightmare with mischief of God's intro if you want to see the talent of the band behind them

I learned about Babymetal years ago but never took them seriously. I heard them again in a game trailer this year, and the song was catchy enough (Gimme Chocolate) that I had to check them out. Little did I know they would be my most listened to band this year according to Spotify. They have a new album coming out, even though they lost a member of the vocalist trio. I can’t wait for the new album, and hope to see them live one day.

5:55 "It's probably a lit concert." Is the understatement of the year!

Welcome to the Fox fam! To do list: Road of Resistance live "best crowd participation ever" Rondo of nightmare with Mischiefs of God intro Budokan live " heavy side, invite only arena" Pa pa ya live " cardio" These would be a good start, don't get lost...every song is different

Hiphop+Metal? Why not, there's BxMxC (2020, basically rap metal), or IINE (2013, playfully hiphop). For screaming parts, they often got help, such as Alicia White Gluz in DISTORTION (2018), fHero in PA PA YA (2019), Sabaton in OH MAJINAI (2019). MEGITSUNE is their staple, their own metal, lyrically implying about the story of themselves and their lore, and how they would do their metal (at least back then), with two little girls at the side of the main singer, dancing and chanting :)

Babymetal are an absolute gem, please check out more of their music!!

I was at their concert in 2020 in Hamburg, Germany just before ... everything started ... I kid you not: best concert I've ever been to. They go hard live.

More! :) and definitely check out live!

Hell yesssssssssss!!! More babymetal, please! I'd suggest Headbanger - Legend 1997, but you can't go wrong with live performances of them. Just look out for the compilations though. Lots of those around, which are not as good as the real thing.

They just released a new song. Great reaction, let’s go!

This was a great reaction!! Lol 😂 “ I’m so happy”

More Reactions to BABYMETAL, every song is DIFFERENT and UNIQUE CHECK LIVE PERFORMANCE!! ALWAYS

babymetal is off the charts good. . not many bands can put on a live show like them. . keep doing babymetal reactions and you'll be to 100k followers fast....the fans always show up

Awesome reaction, guys! Just in case it isn't clear yet, Live Babymetal is best Babymetal! 😁😁 Don't sleep on them, you have over 10 years to catch up on. They also have a new album coming out next March. They have released two singles from it so far with plans to release 3 more starting in January. Their songs are all different yet, when you hear one you know it is Babymetal. I hope you react to more Babymetal. The sooner the better! Kitsune Up! 🤘🦊🤘

Here is a live version of the song for you guys, and yes this song is great in concert. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j6iZjcefu9bdmZ8.html

Cool reaction glad you guys enjoyed More Babymetal please

You have just reacted to my favorite Babymetal song. Thanks! (Oh, to be honest, as much as I love the band...NOT knowing the lyrics to most of their songs is better. LOL.)

I've heard these girls before. They're music is absolutely awesome! It is a shame I don't understand what they're saying. But they're really good! Would love to see them live just to feel what they're really like. They're instrumental musicianship is fantastic! Also I thought The Hu was Mongolian.
