If you are going to react to Metali suggest the Legend MM 2024 HQ Pro Shot LIVE from the For The Fox God channel Suggest Kingslayer LIVE in Tokyo. And fully recommend Monochrome LIVE at PIA ARENA 2023 HQ Pro Shot from the For The Fox God channel As for understanding the lore surrounding BABYMETAL and the Fox symbolism.....in the Japanese Shinto religion the Fox Spirit is a messenger of the major deity Inari. They are shape shifters and deceiving. When the young ladies started out in 2010 with BABYMETAL their producer Koba Kobayashi was supposedly having them practice the heavy metal hand gesture but the girls kept making a hand signal representing a fox in children's shadow play. Kobayashi had a revelation and the Fox God lore was born. If you wish to know more I suggest reacting to The not so extensive Guide to BABYMETAL from the A Fox Song channel.

Some of BABYMETAL's songwriters are responsible for several songs but generally speaking the band doesn't have dedicated songwriters. Basically each of their songs is a collab. Just think about that, they are a supergroup from the beginning.

Samurai Ganesha 🤘

Innovation in the arts, like everything seems to be cyclic w/ periods of intensity (nodes?).1964 to 1969, spearheaded by The Beatles, might have been such a period. A great place to dive deeper into Babymetal is Andrew Hartely's You Tube page where he (and friends) thoughtfully discuss the suprisingly deep messages in the songs of Babymetal.

Good reaction🦊🐘🤘

👍Awesome collaboration and performance🔥🔥. Great reaction. 🦊 🖖❤

I think they made a translation error here... at 3:50 "bekhauf" means "scars", but other times it appears as "fearlessly"... this video probably circulated through many hands before it was released, but no one noticed this detail...

🍅💀🍅 🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼 🗡x 🐘 BEKHAUF

Samurai Ganesha is so cool! I really love all the collaborations Babymetal have released in the last year or so, but this is my favorite!

Of course, the story of the Official Music Video bears not the faintest resemblance to the song, which is about online trolls! (Presumably ones who think she is faking her growls.)

Your intros are always top notch mah man.🦊🤘🔥 Love this collab, Bloodywood were asking about ideas for a plot, maybe they will make an anime, that it'll be cool. Have a nice week and keep enjoying more BM songs next year, more is coming.🦊🤘🎄🎁

Thoroughly baller song, equally baller àrt and animation.

The snake is a constrictor -- it is a Jungle Carpet Python.

Thanks for your reaction! A Russian idiom has the green serpent representing alcohol, and being bitten by the green serpent representing alcoholism. Tatiana has been sober for perhaps 2 years (I've read conflicting information on that point), so this song is about her personal struggle. This is some of my favourite vocal melodic composition from Tati, & I love her extensive use of her *gorgeous* head voice to hit highs in this piece, a part of her vocal repertoire that we've heard very little of before now. The section with the combined guitar & bass tapping with great tom drum groove is incredible, & I love the Opethy outro. Even the stripped down, simple chuggy riffs in the last two heavy sections are a welcome addition, as Jinjer fans usually have to struggle to head bang to Jinjer's weird rhythms & unusual, shifting time signatures (which I also love, of course). This is a *great,* *beautiful* song, destined to be a Jinjer classic, IMO.

This is next level Jinjer.

Bro, the end was all bass. It was a two-handed tapped passage. Eugene again, showing his incredible dexterity. This band never ceases to amaze me. I’ve been playing guitar for almost 50 years and must say this is one of my favorite bands of today. They infuse soloing and technical dexterity into the structure of the song rather than much of the noodling that I grew up on in the 80s shred period.

Try to keep up.

I love that Eugene is a bass player who steps forward. It's part of what keeps the band unique

Thanks for the reaction

Masterpiece

thanx for your professional reaction to a wonderful band, for me > the band!!!!!!!!! warm greetings from the german musician

lol Green Serpent is metaphorically referred to alcohol in russian. Bitten by green serpent in slavic tradition is symbolic of alcoholism and the depths of intoxication/addiction.....as for the song, the opeth outro is cool. Middle LOG breakdown is cool. Also kinda sounds like an angular proggy album cut on first listen, but quickly turns out to be a banger.....also tati looks hot here 😂😂 Jinjer - Audiotree From Nothing (Live Performance)

Amaizing song!

That intro was hilarious!. LOL!

Exceptional analysis as usual Jake. Thanks for continuing to react to Band-Maid and picking apart what makes this song so great. You rock!

❤❤❤

Nice open! In all the songs I've heard both studio and live, this is the one and only time I've heard a mistake from ANY of them.

def: "Crime" - A Band-Maid song that's pure gold that only a relative handful of people have heard. 😟

TT

Hilarious cowbell intro!

I gotta fever, and the only cure is more Cowbell! Never seen this one before. Thanks! Miku doesn't just have the Flappy Pigeon, LP Styles and the V. When she switched from the Rick and got her very first Zemaitis guitar it was a Tele Style with a Metal Spot instead of a full metal face. Sh may have one of every guitar they make.

If a genie came up to me and gave me three wishes one of them would definitely be to have isolated tracks of the whole Band Maid catalog.😅

MOAR COWBELL! 😎🤘

The gang chant is actually on the studio recording. Miku's guitar parts are slowly becoming more complex ie. her guitar intro to Kanami's solo in the Official Live Video (TGT) of Puzzle?

Jake, thanks for this reaction. I call "Chemical Reaction" Kanami's homage to 70's music. With the hard bass and drums from the "Thunder Buddies" MISA and Akane (there's an actual t-shirt with both of them on it called "Thunder Buddies). I want one. Kanami's riffs using fuzz tones, wah-wah are an absolute throwback That little trembling outro at the end of the song reminded me of something by the person considered the greatest rock guitarist of all time- Jimi Hendrix. The cowbell is prevalent because over Akane's objections, Kanami insisted on having it in the song. I admit but I agree with you about the cowbell. It adds the perfect ambience to the song.

🤘🤘🤘🤘💙💙💙💙

Another great Band Maid mashup: th-cam.com/video/xGc3LgTvx-U/w-d-xo.htmlsi=qIk7rbWKlPNYaVFH

Yes, this is top notch!

Absolutely awesome mashup of Chemical Reaction and the classic SNL skit! That had me laughing out loud 😂

"MORE COWBELL PLEASE!!!!" Thanks..PEACE a& RESPECT from Canada Not sure if you have done "Don't Apply the Brake" by Band- Maid

Great reaction! Loved your intro, nice edit.

Mincho doesn't miss notes and Misa doesn't drop picks!

BAND-MAID doesn't release a bad song. If the Maids don't agree it's a hit, they don't release it.

That had to be one of the most awesome and hilarious mash-ups ever!

It's been so looooong-meme here 😂😂😂 so ummm Toi et moi or Letters to you 😊 Mincho with her hold my drink moments 😂

This cowbell sound is made by Akane hitting a pad assigned to Roland's TM-2 trigger module.

There was no official live video of this song. Yes, this was an online live stream during the COVID-19 pandemic. They have played this song in front of audience only once so far (August 30th, 2024 at Spotify O-East, Tokyo)🐄🔔

Only 14? I could have sworn it was more than that.

Concert was Day of Maid 2021, 5/10/21, streamed.
