_Maada da yo!_ 🦊🤘👠 Glad to see you're back with this suggestion AlexaMetal and keep enjoying your ride until you reach this new era is getting everyone hype. This song is among many BM fans one of the most representative of their kawaii metal sound, is heavy but is cute or kawaii at the same time with so much energy and crazy circle pits and mosh from the crowd, not on this performance but you'll see that in another. This was live at Budokan Arena 2014 reaching a huge milestone with only 14 and 16 yo, after this they started the World Tour and reaching the Sonisphere Festival. This time the Kami Band playing in order are: Leda Cygnus and Takayoshi Ohmura on guitars, BOH on that freaking monster 6-String bass, and Hideki Aoyama on drums. All of them are possessed by the Fox God the moment they step up on the stage, and I'm not even joking. This mind-blowing beautiful song is about hide & seek tag game, but isn't just any other regular child play, they're playing with an Oni, a mythological japanese creature human flesh eater 👹👀 This is heavy af. You can also noticed the punk section, many people reminds it the sound of some of the US rock punk like The Offspring or Green Day, and the heavy part apparently got some Slipknot vibes. Kami Band intro are rare and only on certain songs but throughout different live performance you'll hear slightly different changes because like i said, not always were the same members and even the same members sometimes change their solo a little bit. If you want another melting faces intro you should go for: - Rondo Of Nightmare, with Mischiefs Of Metal Gods Intro live at this same venue you just saw, is a SuMetal solo and I'm pretty sure you're gonna love it, "Kawaii Metal" got the clip. Thanks for sharing this and see you next time.🦊🤘❤
Great reaction. 'Catch Me If You Can' is the best metal song about playing a game that's a sort of cross between tag, blind man's bluff and hide & seek I've ever heard. It is the perfect mix of the two extremes with the brutal instrumentals and the sweet vocals - and the game they are playing, they're playing with an Oni (a sort of Japanese ogre 👹 popular in regional festivals and used specifically to frighten children ... and the idea of that probably amuses me a lot more than it really should 🤭). 🤘 The growling vocals (they are on a backing track) are the Oni asking things like "Are you ready?" and the best response has to be "Maada da yo" (No, not yet) while doing a running away from an Oni dance.🏃♀🏃♀🏃♀👹 Kami means god or spirit, so the Kami Band are the gods of guitar, bass and drums summoned from the dead to support BABYMETAL in all their live shows - which should also explain the traditional white burial robes and corpse face paint (since late 2017 the robes are black, since 2019 the face paint was replaced with masks). In order of solos that night they were Takayoshi Ohmura and Leda Cygnus on guitars, BOH on 6 string bass and Hideki Aoyama on drums. This was their second night (Red Night and Black Night) at the Budokan in Tokyo in March 2014. The Budokan is a martial arts arena built for the 1964 Olympics and now also one of the most prestigious venues for concerts in Japan (think Carnegie Hall or Madison Square Garden levels of prestige). It is where all Japanese artists aspire to play - not so many ever get to do that. BABYMETAL became the youngest ever female band to headline there (Su-metal the lead singer was just 16, Yuimetal and Moametal were both still only 14) and they sold it out 2 nights running as their first album was being or was about to be released. They returned in 2021 to play 10 more concerts as part of their 10th anniversary celebration.
Su is 16 in this video, and Yui and Moa 14 . They are season professionals. Even at that age, there are videos of them even younger performing, and they are more cuter than a basket full of kittens ♥️♥️♥️. You can see how confident they are hyping up the audience. I have seen videos of them performing this song at shows and metal festivals where Su asks and gets multiple huge circle pits 😮 . Just hope they perform it again. The fans will go nuts 🤣 They recently did a collaboration with F Hero, a Thai rapper, and the Thai rock group BodySlam, a song called Leave it all behind 2.7 million views in 2 weeks ! think you will enjoy it 😁🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
Nice one, thanks! Heaviest song about playing hide and seek or tag... BUT... with an "oni", a sort of Japanese ogre. Which makes it more... interesting. This was my very first BABYMETAL song, so it's very special for me. I'm glad you enjoyed it. This is definitely one of their heaviest songs but it also has one of their cutest choreos, including my personal favorite movement: the infamous "Moa slide" hehe...
@@alexatakesalook You should check the official video of Doki Doki Morning if you haven't done so yet... Then feel really old But don't worry, compared to you many of us Babymetal fans feel ancient 😂😂😂
Very good the Kami Band is also the ghoul band. Get down you all....... Girl power!!!!! Get it!!!!! They look young my dear because they are!he first time I watched them I felt like this is a cardio workout video!!! I like how the audience is a part of the show!!! Are you thinking of Gimme Chocolate??
IIRC, this concert is from 2014...so they were young. Nice that it's getting past the copyright police...all we used to get here on TH-cam was compilations or watermarked reaction vids.
I'm glad your dog reacted to the song. lol. By the way, in Japan, cedar pollen is flying in large quantities this time of season, and hay fever is very bad. It is now becoming a national problem-like. I sneeze all the time too, lol. Thank you from Japan!
Ohh, Babymetal! Now I feel obliged to recommend my favourite band: Band-Maid, an incredibly talented all female Japanese rock band! ♥ "Freedom (Official Live Video)" on their own channel should give a great first impression!
the first time i watch this is what up with the dance choreo, then i search ahe translation of the lyrics ang surprised me it's literally a song about hide and seek that made me laugh then i found the song is dark what a roller coaster of emotion
The quentissential Babymetal song in my opinion; super cute dance and outfits, killer metal instrumentation, clear vocals, left field subject matter about playing hide and seek with an Ogre... One of their very best 😎
Your doggy wasn't impressed with glitar joke!😂 This was the song that got me into Babymetal. I had no idea what was going on, but I couldn't stop watching! The song is about playing hide and seek/tag with an demon troll. Road of Resistance, next?🙏🤘
nice reaction. Any time you see Yui still with them. They're under 20. This performance with the kamiband intro is very cool. Any time you get a Kamiband intro you know it will be a great show.
If you want to see how cute the musicians are you should watch a song called the " Hills of Wisteria". Which has the just the kami band without the makeup. It is a great song. These guys are always the best at what they do.
Little fun fact: that "Glittar" is actually his own signature model, an ESP Snapper Takayoshi Ohmura, but better known to Babymetal fans as the "Pink Chan"
@@alexatakesalook I GUESS it was the Babymetal fans who invented that name, but correct me if I'm wrong, cuz I'm not sure. The One will help me out, I'm quite sure haha...
Awesome! The lyrics refers to a Japanese game of hide and seek vs an “ogre”, a tradition in some villages where parents dress as “ogres” and come find bad kids and discipline them. Never thought I would see something so adorably brutal haha. Suggestion: For the cuteness: *Awadama Fever.* It’s about bubblegum. For the very opposite: *BABYMETAL DEATH (Legend 1997 concert).* No bubble gum in sight. For the “WTF”: *iine! (Official MV)* For an epic battle anthem: *Divine Attack (Pia Arena MM).* Same show as Mirror Mirror. For a “Love Ballad”: *Akatsuki (Budokan 2014),* same show as Catch Me If You Can. And… FOR THE FOX GOD!! *In the Name Of (Budokan 2021).* #notacult Look forward to more! 🤘🦊
BABYMETAL has an extensive history (and lore) which I won’t get into but a quick synopsis: they’ve been around since 2010, and started when their lead singer - known as Su-metal (Suzuka Nakamoto) - was about twelve, and the two "cheerleaders" (officially "scream and dance" (backing vocals)) - Moametal (Moa Kikuchi) and Yuimetal (Yui Mizuno) - were both around eleven. Unfortunately, Yui left the group in 2018 because of health concerns, and early in 2023 Momoko Okazaki (Momometal) was named a member of the group. They do not play instruments but are backed by the Kami Band - session musicians who are among the best that Japan (and the U.S.) has to offer. BABYMETAL started a brand new genre of music ("kawaii metal" - cute metal), and they cannot be pigeon-holed - they are almost always thinking and moving outside box; they made listening to metal FUN! They have, to date, four studio albums, and have been on a number of world tours. It is common knowledge among their devoted fans (known as "The One") that BABYMETAL is best served live, but they do have several music videos that are real works of art. I suggest you go back to the beginning, and react to their first two music videos, "Doki Doki Morning" and "Iine!" (pronounced "E-nay"), both released in 2012. You’ll notice those are the first two on this list of recommended songs (along with suggested versions). The first sixteen are from what I've come to call "The Golden Age of BABYMETAL" or simply "The Yui Era": Doki Doki Morning (official music video) th-cam.com/video/cirhQ8iLdbw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=k84SUx4P01t9M5ic Iine!

If nothing else, it can be used as a reference to find high quality versions of BABYMETAL songs without mucking about - if they are on the list. Anyway . . . . Another recommendation (read "challenge"): react to an entire BABYMETAL concert. I suggest: "Legend 1997 Apocalypse" th-cam.com/play/PLdBAj9hZ91wCao72oSqTMLrGpIDOqzR2Q.html and/or "Budokan Black Night" (2014) th-cam.com/play/PLdBAj9hZ91wBwsBfjsKH9zWxA5YOOUkSI.html Both concerts are, in a word, incredible. Enjoy your trip down the foxhole! (You're in for a wild ride!!!) Keep rockin' BABYMETAL!!! (Sorry about the wall!) KITSUNE UP!!! 🤘🦊🤘
Late comment but better late. Always nice to see someone discovering BabyMetal and if you do decide to go fully into the foxhole then try to do it chronologically as there are distinct 'eras' in their line up and music. 2010-2018 was the original 3 members Su, Moa & Yui 2018 Yui had to leave due to health issues and they performed as a duo for a time, as in the Monochrome 1st Take video, and then had the 'avengers', including Momo, who filled in for her. Today Momo is a full member. Generally live is best as they are a force of nature with huge stage presence and audience interaction but I'd still check some of the videos particularly Megitsune which is a fan favourite. Anyway there's lots to choose from but definitely check Monochrome Live At PIA Arena which is full on goose bumps/full body chills.
You could go back to the beginning: Doki Doki Morning is the first song. React to the MV and: making of doki doki morning The other is a short video from the very early days, because the MV came later
I know you're more of a K-Pop/J-Pop fan but I think you might like Band Maid, an all-female hard rock band out of Japan. They don't have a bad song but check out their first video, Thrill.

_Maada da yo!_ 🦊🤘👠
Glad to see you're back with this suggestion AlexaMetal and keep enjoying your ride until you reach this new era is getting everyone hype.
This song is among many BM fans one of the most representative of their kawaii metal sound, is heavy but is cute or kawaii at the same time with so much energy and crazy circle pits and mosh from the crowd, not on this performance but you'll see that in another.
This was live at Budokan Arena 2014 reaching a huge milestone with only 14 and 16 yo, after this they started the World Tour and reaching the Sonisphere Festival.
This time the Kami Band playing in order are: Leda Cygnus and Takayoshi Ohmura on guitars, BOH on that freaking monster 6-String bass, and Hideki Aoyama on drums. All of them are possessed by the Fox God the moment they step up on the stage, and I'm not even joking.
This mind-blowing beautiful song is about hide & seek tag game, but isn't just any other regular child play, they're playing with an Oni, a mythological japanese creature human flesh eater 👹👀
This is heavy af.
You can also noticed the punk section, many people reminds it the sound of some of the US rock punk like The Offspring or Green Day, and the heavy part apparently got some Slipknot vibes.
Kami Band intro are rare and only on certain songs but throughout different live performance you'll hear slightly different changes because like i said, not always were the same members and even the same members sometimes change their solo a little bit.
If you want another melting faces intro you should go for:
- Rondo Of Nightmare, with Mischiefs Of Metal Gods Intro live at this same venue you just saw, is a SuMetal solo and I'm pretty sure you're gonna love it, "Kawaii Metal" got the clip.
Thanks for sharing this and see you next time.🦊🤘❤
Oooo I think I am a fan of kawaii metal, so I will for sure check that one out! Thank you for the suggestion
This song was my first introduction to BabyMetal . Instantly captivated. Amazing band !
This song is sooooo catchy!
Great reaction. 'Catch Me If You Can' is the best metal song about playing a game that's a sort of cross between tag, blind man's bluff and hide & seek I've ever heard.
It is the perfect mix of the two extremes with the brutal instrumentals and the sweet vocals - and the game they are playing, they're playing with an Oni (a sort of Japanese ogre 👹 popular in regional festivals and used specifically to frighten children ... and the idea of that probably amuses me a lot more than it really should 🤭). 🤘
The growling vocals (they are on a backing track) are the Oni asking things like "Are you ready?" and the best response has to be "Maada da yo" (No, not yet) while doing a running away from an Oni dance.🏃♀🏃♀🏃♀👹
Kami means god or spirit, so the Kami Band are the gods of guitar, bass and drums summoned from the dead to support BABYMETAL in all their live shows - which should also explain the traditional white burial robes and corpse face paint (since late 2017 the robes are black, since 2019 the face paint was replaced with masks).
In order of solos that night they were Takayoshi Ohmura and Leda Cygnus on guitars, BOH on 6 string bass and Hideki Aoyama on drums.
This was their second night (Red Night and Black Night) at the Budokan in Tokyo in March 2014.
The Budokan is a martial arts arena built for the 1964 Olympics and now also one of the most prestigious venues for concerts in Japan (think Carnegie Hall or Madison Square Garden levels of prestige). It is where all Japanese artists aspire to play - not so many ever get to do that.
BABYMETAL became the youngest ever female band to headline there (Su-metal the lead singer was just 16, Yuimetal and Moametal were both still only 14) and they sold it out 2 nights running as their first album was being or was about to be released.

Wow that is so cool! Thank you for the background info! I hope they play there again!
@@alexatakesalook You're welcome - and every show they've done there was a spectacle - I'm sure we all hope they will do more shows there as well.
Excellent :)

They give me cuteness aggression lol
Only Babymetal can make a song about playing tag with a demon so hard and so cute at the same time ❤️🦊🤘

I would check if the dog is alergic to cuteness, if so, a dose of young babymetal could be fatal! :D
She might be XD better keep her back lol
Wow, didn't realize that you are reacting to Babymetal too! From PPop to J-Metal.👍
I like being versatile!

Ohh, Babymetal! Now I feel obliged to recommend my favourite band: Band-Maid, an incredibly talented all female Japanese rock band! ♥
"Freedom (Official Live Video)" on their own channel should give a great first impression!
They are on my radar! I plan on reacting to them verrrry soon!
🍅💀🍅
🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
Heaviest Hide and Seek ever. Oni had no chance
Long Live BabyMetal!
I would suggest watching their live videos from For The Fox God youtube channel, as they have added CC to the videos, their lyrics are awesome too ^^
I always check out the lyrics after! But I will definitely keep that in mind for future videos :D
❤
the first time i watch this is what up with the dance choreo, then i search ahe translation of the lyrics ang surprised me it's literally a song about hide and seek that made me laugh then i found the song is dark what a roller coaster of emotion

The quentissential Babymetal song in my opinion; super cute dance and outfits, killer metal instrumentation, clear vocals, left field subject matter about playing hide and seek with an Ogre... One of their very best 😎
One of my favorites so far!

nice reaction. Any time you see Yui still with them. They're under 20. This performance with the kamiband intro is very cool. Any time you get a Kamiband intro you know it will be a great show.

I'm SOLD

You still need to check out Monochrone LIVE at PIA Arena Yokohama 2023.
Yes that is on the list! I will check it out for sure 😁
Little fun fact: that "Glittar" is actually his own signature model, an ESP Snapper Takayoshi Ohmura, but better known to Babymetal fans as the "Pink Chan"
Ooooo it has a name!?

Awesome! The lyrics refers to a Japanese game of hide and seek vs an “ogre”, a tradition in some villages where parents dress as “ogres” and come find bad kids and discipline them.
Never thought I would see something so adorably brutal haha.
Suggestion:
For the cuteness:
*Awadama Fever.* It’s about bubblegum.
For the very opposite:
*BABYMETAL DEATH (Legend 1997 concert).* No bubble gum in sight.
For the “WTF”:
*iine! (Official MV)*
For an epic battle anthem:
*Divine Attack (Pia Arena MM).* Same show as Mirror Mirror.
For a “Love Ballad”:
*Akatsuki (Budokan 2014),* same show as Catch Me If You Can.
And… FOR THE FOX GOD!!
*In the Name Of (Budokan 2021).* #notacult
Look forward to more!
🤘🦊
So many ones that sound intriguing! I added them all to the list XD
@@alexatakesalook Awesome! Looking forward to them!
BABYMETAL has an extensive history (and lore) which I won’t get into but a quick synopsis: they’ve been around since 2010, and started when their lead singer - known as Su-metal (Suzuka Nakamoto) - was about twelve, and the two "cheerleaders" (officially "scream and dance" (backing vocals)) - Moametal (Moa Kikuchi) and Yuimetal (Yui Mizuno) - were both around eleven. Unfortunately, Yui left the group in 2018 because of health concerns, and early in 2023 Momoko Okazaki (Momometal) was named a member of the group. They do not play instruments but are backed by the Kami Band - session musicians who are among the best that Japan (and the U.S.) has to offer.
BABYMETAL started a brand new genre of music ("kawaii metal" - cute metal), and they cannot be pigeon-holed - they are almost always thinking and moving outside box; they made listening to metal FUN! They have, to date, four studio albums, and have been on a number of world tours. It is common knowledge among their devoted fans (known as "The One") that BABYMETAL is best served live, but they do have several music videos that are real works of art. I suggest you go back to the beginning, and react to their first two music videos, "Doki Doki Morning" and "Iine!" (pronounced "E-nay"), both released in 2012. You’ll notice those are the first two on this list of recommended songs (along with suggested versions).

You can use my TH-cam playlist “BABYMETAL Top Twenty” (th-cam.com/play/PLdhz2aj0pt4zPl0BZLevPUR9uHKQA27uj.html ) as a quick link to all of these videos; it is a mix of MV’s and live performances, is more or less in historical sequence, and could be considered a road map down the BABYMETAL foxhole. If nothing else, it can be used as a reference to find high quality versions of BABYMETAL songs without mucking about - if they are on the list. Anyway . . . .
Another recommendation (read "challenge"): react to an entire BABYMETAL concert. I suggest:
"Legend 1997 Apocalypse" th-cam.com/play/PLdBAj9hZ91wCao72oSqTMLrGpIDOqzR2Q.html
and/or
"Budokan Black Night" (2014) th-cam.com/play/PLdBAj9hZ91wBwsBfjsKH9zWxA5YOOUkSI.html
Both concerts are, in a word, incredible.
Enjoy your trip down the foxhole! (You're in for a wild ride!!!)
Keep rockin' BABYMETAL!!! (Sorry about the wall!)
KITSUNE UP!!! 🤘🦊🤘
Late comment but better late.
Always nice to see someone discovering BabyMetal and if you do decide to go fully into the foxhole then try to do it chronologically as there are distinct 'eras' in their line up and music.
2010-2018 was the original 3 members Su, Moa & Yui
2018 Yui had to leave due to health issues and they performed as a duo for a time, as in the Monochrome 1st Take video, and then had the 'avengers', including Momo, who filled in for her.
Today Momo is a full member.
Generally live is best as they are a force of nature with huge stage presence and audience interaction but I'd still check some of the videos particularly Megitsune which is a fan favourite.
Anyway there's lots to choose from but definitely check Monochrome Live At PIA Arena which is full on goose bumps/full body chills.
I just posted the Monochrome live one :D
@@alexatakesalook Already viewed and liked 👍
You could go back to the beginning: Doki Doki Morning is the first song.
React to the MV and: making of doki doki morning
The other is a short video from the very early days, because the MV came later
I will definitely add that to my list! I like just flowing through a discography!

🔥🔥🔥🦊🦊🦊🔥🔥🔥
I know you're more of a K-Pop/J-Pop fan but I think you might like Band Maid, an all-female hard rock band out of Japan. They don't have a bad song but check out their first video, Thrill.
They are on my list actually! I will for sure give them a looksy!
🏃♀🏃♀🏃♀👹👠♪
🦊🦊🍅 Yui forever!
Does the audio-desync ever gets fixed? It's unwatchable :/
….That moment when you realize teenage Japanese girls are more metal than you🦊🤘🏾
A fact we must all face!
🤘🦊🤘
