You mean it's supposed to be. But actually it's Jpop with metal influences. It's the same basic concept, the only difference is the background music. Both have dancers, both have choreographed dance routines. Both involve young teenage girls. It's just repackaged to appeal to a different audience. I'm not saying it's a bad thing to enjoy it, but it's really just the same thing repackaged.
@@Smartguy561 As you may not know, K-pop has been around for the last 20 years. J-pop (Kayo-kyoku) is older than K-pop, its form is not repackaged. Japan is not active in the foreign music market, because it doesn't have to be. Therefore, many foreigners do not know Japanese music. "J-pop" is a name created by a Japanese radio station in 1989, and it is Japanese-made English. Then, in the late 1990s, Japan began to call it "K-pop" to refer to Korean music. The music market in Japan and the United States is huge enough to occupy half of the world. In comparison, the Korean market is small. So in the 2000s, K-pop was on sale in the Japanese market. And in the 2010s, K-pop entered the U.S. market. Babymetal, YMO and Kyu Sakamoto were not created for sale abroad. People who were interested in Japanese music found them and became famous. Thank you!
@@YA-fi3ng not true. If you actually research the history of the band, you will see that the basis for the musical style of the band is I'm fact, Jpop. This can be confirmed by googling the band and reading the history of the band you will see that their vocal style is heavily influenced by 1960's Japanese rock and pop. Thank you!
@@Smartguy561 not true? Babymetal is produced by a team. The leader of the team was influenced by X-Japan, Seikima II, Animetal, etc. It was born from his idea that it would be interesting to add cute dancers like babies to Japanese metal. Su, Yui, Moa and Mikiko (dance choreographer) didn't know metal until they formed Babymetal. It is thought that it gave birth to a novel style. Thank you!
@@YA-fi3ng Go read the history of the band and what the musical influences are. The band member themselves define their music as a blend of Jpop EDM and metal. I apologise for the KPop mention in my original comment that was actually a typo. I meant to say Jpop. (I have the stupid keyboard correction program to thank for the typo.) Sorry for that misunderstanding.
Karate isn't about fighting the bad guy. It's about defeating challenges in your life and yourself and overcoming them. Pretty much all of Babymetal songs are positive like that in one way or another
The first song, Karate, is the girls fighting their alter selves, which is symbolism for the biggest thing holding you back is yourself.. The theme is never give up, always move forward. The second song, Headbanger, is truly a girl power song. it's about a 15 year old girl discarding the traditional role of a young girl in Japan and attending her first metal concert, with a deeper meaning of "be yourself". You'll find "girl power" and positive themes in almost all Babymetal songs. The video you watched is a concert from 2013 of Su's (lead singer) 16th birthday celebration. The other two girls would have been 15. I hope you keep looking into Babymetal. They are an island in the world of metal... and music in general. Three young girls who go well out of their way (with support from their management and team) to not be sexualized, presenting a positive image, and carrying a positive message. Each of the girls considers being a role model to other young girls an honor and a responsibility, trying hard to live up to that designation. ,Some of the more "Poppy" songs are Doki Doki Morning. Ilne (pronounced ill-nay, which means so good), Uki-Uki Midnight, Awadama Fever, and Yava. Perhaps the most enabling girl power song is "Megitsune", which carries a very powerful message (despite women sometimes feeling forced to hide behind makeup and smiles, they are bad asses that should not be underestimated). Songs with harder metal influences include Sis Anger and Rondo of Nightmare.
Hey man, everyone loves different things. My friends don't like music without lyrics, and I love jazz and classical. There's no wrong way to enjoy music!
the guitar solo is not "ruining", it's MUSIC!!!!. real music, people playing an instrument, not computer generated noises or anything like that, don't be afraid of guitars, it's real music!!! also, maybe death metal or black metal are not for you, but try some older kind of metal maybe? from the 70s and 80s? like "paranoid" by black sabbath, "breaking the law" by judas priest (and then check out the live version by babymetal!), "trust" by megadeth, stuff like that.
the handsign is supposed to be a fox. closely resembling the normal devil horn metal handsign. as for the meaning of the songs, Karate is about fighting yourself and your inner demons. Headbanger is about growing up and developing your own identity. and all that energy is present in almost all their songs! very much part of what makes them awesome. would recommend Road of resistance as the next babymetal song. and then either Akatsuki or Amore. the last two are solo performances by Suzuka the lead singer, without the two younger ones (Yui and Moa) :)
supposedly the girls were told to do the heavy metal 'horns' sign, but they messed it up and did it this way (fox sign) instead of correcting them the manager decided to call it the 'fox sign' and created a whole 'Fox God' back story ... which if you ever get around to watching one of their live concerts is a major theme throughout the show.
I can add two more: Ijime, dame, zetai is about bullying and to not let it get to you and to bystanders to take responsibility. Gimme chocolat is about liking to eat sweets and not worry too much about becoming a bit chubby (not fat, as that's something entirely different). Although this is more in relation to the Japanese culture, it applies to everyone.
I like that i can't understand the lyrics. Most of the time the actual lyrics are a letdown. I can love the music and not have it ruined by bad lyrics.
@@Danganraptor most? Dunno. Akatsuki is melancholy. So is Headbanger. No rain no rainbow is very sad. So is Starlight. But I was talking about English songs from other groups.
The Metal genre is very brought, it has very many sub-genres. And Babymetal lives on the edge of the metal genre. Some say they've created their own sub-genre. Glad you like them. You can definitely work out on Babymetal, they have concerts up to 1.5 hours without pausing ! Not sure how they do it. They most have so much energy ! As you can see the audience also gets a great workout too. Maybe we'll keep the crucifixion video for later. :-)
+Giddy Kitty OK, yes she was crucified in concert for her birthday. But she got better. : ) It's sort of like in Star Wars. When she is struck down she comes back more powerful than you can even imagine.
Yaaay, so glad to see that Ghost is on your metal suggestions list! They're definitely more theatrical and melodic with their songs, I think you'll love them! "Cirice" is on the list, I see; maybe add their songs "He Is," "Pinnacle to the Pit," and "Square Hammer" as well? All of those are super catchy songs with very creative music vids. Keep up the great work! \m/
Hi there, I really liked this video and look forward to you delving more into Babymetal and the different styles of metal. I think there is so much wonder and surprise to be gained exploring metal music. Babymetal is a much more beginner friendly band for metal than Behemoth or Cannibal Corpse. Also, it doesn’t help that the graphic nature of the videos can’t be anything but a bit distracting from the experience of the song. I love those bands, but it definitely took time for me to appreciate their sounds. They were very much an acquired taste for me over time. Also I can relate to what you mentioned in the second video about there being a lot of sounds in the middle of song. When the guitarist started soloing a little bit, you said it was a little bit ruining of the experience. It’s okay for the sounds to impact people that way when starting with metal. There’s a density and thickness to the instrumentation that takes time for ears to become accustomed to, everything sounds a bit chaotic at first. But over time ears will pick up on and appreciate what the instruments are doing, things will start to sound clearer. More Babymetal- definitely Road of Resistance live For a band to explore after Babymetal, let’s see, try: Nightwish- Ghost Love Score @ Buenos Aires Devin Townsend- Kingdom EMGTV performance Iron Maiden- Hallowed Be Thy Name live Metallica- One Keep up the good work, take care
autohmae I like your idea. Really hoping Giddy’s next dive into Babymetal includes the Road of Resistance live video. The united audience during the “whoa-oh-whoa-ohs” is really cool to experience. And the guitar is pretty catchy with some shreddy parts that are a bit more beginner friendly to the ear, less chaotic sounding
I enjoyed the other video a lot more, your reaction was epic on that one 😂 It was expected that, unlike the other two (great) bands, you would enjoy BabyMetal, they are the kind of band that people that are Into Metal might enjoy. Let me recommend something... something you might like... "Sleeping Sun" by Nightwish. P.S.: RIP Mikio Fujioka
You most successful video at the moment...thanks to METAL music! =) That makes me very happy as a metal fan...haha. I saw it, liked it bu the way back then. BabyMetal rules for sure. Their guitarist died in a very unfortunate accident in December 2017 falling down from an observatory, he was only 37 years old. Very sad....R.I.P
I’ve never been much of a Babymetal fan, but I do respect them as musicians, and I know they put a lot of effort into their songs, but I’m glad you’ve found a metal genre you like! :D Perhaps you could try Sabaton? They’re a power metal band, and their song “Poltava” is pretty awesome!
zondaintheair Watch again - there is no lip sync since a couple of the first shows in 2011/12, everything they do is live with just tiny (and obvious) segments using backing track in one or two songs.
HAHA, you are KPOP fan alright. If you find instrumental part annoying. I dont blame you though. Kpop is completely artificial thing without any sort of real music or talent (aside of dancing). If i was Kpop fan i would be confused too.
There are certainly Kpop groups that ave more talemt than just dancing. Most are pretty "fabricated" but i suggest dreamcatcher, they are a girl group that has a more dark concept and their musical style reminds me of jrock (but in korean). They also contribute to the lyrics (and are fans of babymetal). Im sure its annoying, but i would also recommend bts. The write and produce their own music, and have pretty amazing vocal and rap talents. Most people stereotype them, but the rock version of fake love is pretty dope. And their lyrics are about self love, criticizing society and so on.
hi. i was laughing so much to the other other react video from you. it was quite fun to see you so traumatized from bands like Cannibal Corpse or the likes of Behemoth. I definitely knew something like this would definitely if your liking. I also have a request as well. try reacting to either Nightwish or Within Temptation or Arch Enemy(this is heavier than the other 2, but one of the greatest metal vocals out there) and keep up the great work.
Karate is about confronting your inner demons like self doubt as if you're in a physical fight and you may get knocked down, but you still need to get back up and keep fighting. The hand gesture is a symbol of the Fox God that they've appropriated as a "rock n roll hand sign".
The sign they made at the end is for the INUGAMI it is a ancient Japanese Spirit of Guidance who the band believes watches over them. Rather poetic and amazing
Thank you for having an open mind and trying this form of metal. Unfortunately they just lost their guitarist Mikio Fujioka recently. Awesome video! #Moametalrules
Dang, and here I was hoping you were going to watch the live crucifixion performance of Headbanger. But I'm glad you didn't at the same time! XD No need to turn you away. We need more metal heads! \m/
End of Karate check the close up of the eye's of the other girls that you had mentioned in your video (they had beautiful eye's), you'll see the reflections of the babymetal members in there eyes... Pretty cool stuff there...
Actually that Headbanger song (second one on stage) is the Suzukas (lead singer) 16 birthday and that is actually one performance with crusifiction (I think they did it several times but only on special occasions) like her 20 birthday also....
Those three girls were originally in a J-Pop idol group. They had never heard metal before going into the studio for the first time to record the first Babymetal song.
David Frischknecht Not sure the point your getting at here. Everyone has to start somewhere right? I wasn't a big metal fan when I was their age either. I was into classical music believe it or not. Until Black Sabbath consumed my soul lol. Are you going to give me a hard time as well? I think it has been a benefit and given fresh perspective. The girls clearly have grown to love it and that's all that matters. Metal exclusive club status needs to end if it's going to have a future, just saying. :/
Fantastic! I like all of BabyMetal songs, I kinda wished the girl did reactions to more videos, it's nice to see how a kpop usual listener reacts to babymetal I find hard to like kpop though, the only group that sometimes I like is called Exid(?), also I like some few trot songs from there.
nice reaction / review! Babymetal has lead me to all kinds of Japanese music (but much more pop: Perfume, AKB48, anime themes, Utada, etc.) and I kind of love it all ...! I think Babymetal is coming out with new music in 2018 by the way ...
From Japan. They lost their guiter player because of an accident last year...😢 He has two daughters... I was shocked to have known this news.I'm sorry for my bad English.
If you liked this I would suggest listening to Dragonforce, some of the people in Dragonforce write some of Babymetals music. It’s power metal, one of the least scary metal genres out there I really think you’ll like them. Also you just got a new sub! Love your channel
Judging by what she said about the guitar playing of Mikio in this video: "there were a lot of sounds going on and was kind of annoying." seems to me like Dragonforce might not yet be for her ? Well, it would take a good song selection probably. I did people suggest the Babymetal song that the 2 guitarists of Dragonforce created the guitar parts for: Road of Resistance. So we'll see what happens.
Great video (yes, I'm watching all your reaction videos). And if you wonder about the diference between death metal, black metal and blackened death metal... Well, death metal usually is really fast (with very quicky tempos), and the guitars are tuned low. The quality of the sound is good. The voices are deep, brutal and low (that kind of voice is called "growl"). And the lyrics usually are about death, darkness, gore, murder, etc. There are a few bands (like Death) that talk about phillosophy. Is a really brutal a music The black metal is darker, but less brutal. Usually the tempos are slower than in the death metal, and the sound quality is worse. And that is used for many bands to create a dark atmosphere. The voices are high pitched (a kind of scream called "shriek", but some bands uses growls but in a hugher pitch than in the death metal). And the lyrics are usually about death, satanism (usually made like a way to protest aganist the cristianity), protest aganist religion, the forest, the ancient escandinavian culture, and even some bands (like Immortal) talk about fantasy And the blackened death metal is a combination of both. Is death metal with some black metal elements. (Behemot is a great example. Is brutal, but is athmospheric and the lirycs are more similar to the black metal lyrics. But the music is more similar to the death metal Ps: sorry for my bad english. In my country we talk in spanish Pps: I love your pronunciation
is old but if u want a clear thing about this, she is in a live concert, not backup.. her voice is stable in all the concert. a kpop group can even do it 2 songs with correct performance lmao.. and is valid for every kpop group i watched. BTS, blackpink, (snsd uff playback queens), 2ne1, miss a, twice, mamamoo etc.. full of back track and playback, specially in the singer parts, not the raps bc is easy
Baby Metal impresses me. Those girls either know their Metal Roots, or are being taught Metal Roots in the process. The "Puppy" as you've referred to it, is something that was brought forth by Ronnie James Dio. It's from Italy. It's called Catching the Evil Eye. A hand sign that is to ward away negative energy. One of their other videos, I feel, is a tribute to the Soul of Metal as well as a tribute to the late Ronnie James Dio. RIP Ronnie.
skål dear Rana! Sorry for not seeing this earlier :) Great reaction! I had a feeling you would like them :) That's awesome! Well, Babymetal are far... Err, very far ;) From my taste... But I think that they are doing great in combining distortion and metal riffs with Japanese pop. They call it "cute metal"... Well, I can't deny that they are cute indeed! And yes, they are perfect for anime themes :) They are a bit older now, 18-20 years old, but they started when they were very young... And they are still going :) 5:04 Indeed, you're an angel, may there be no doubts about that (!) They should save a place for you in their band! *My suggestions for the next metal songs ;) And a bit of lore about the "metal sign"* I'll give two of them (Plus another one afterwards), if that ok. One is a classic and a must fist step in metal in genral... And the second is from a later style, which I think you might LOVE: 1. Iron Maiden, "Hallowed by thy name". th-cam.com/video/71TJitXU8Z0/w-d-xo.html I think you may really love Iron Maiden's "Hallowed Be Thy Name". They are one of the most important metal bands in general and this is one of their classic songs. They play "heavy metal", which means that it's not heavy :) At least not compared to the death metal you've heard... They have the clean vocal of one of the greatest singer of all time, Bruce Dickinson and the pace and riffs are all very easy for anyone to listen to. Even today, I can never have enough of Maiden... So, to sum my nonsensical ranting...I think that this is a great song to listen too in general and especially when you want a first taste of "Metal" :) 2. Nightwish, "Sleeping Sun". (It's their softest song, but also one of their best :). th-cam.com/video/zfPWU6CJ3vY/w-d-xo.html Nightwish are a *symphonic metal* band, the greatest in their genre perhaps. They are one of the founders of it, really. They started with Tarja Turunen (aka "The syren"), as their singer and her unique soprano voice, gave them a very distinctive sound. To this day, their time with Tarja puts them as special among all other bands in their genre... Essentially since most of their songs were written for Tarja's voice and to her, *personally*... They combine metal with symphony elements. They have "heavy" songs and soft songs and many ballads. Sadly, the way it ended between them and Tarja in 2005 is one of the greatest dramas in the history of metal... :\ But nonetheless, their times together was magic that happens once in a life time. If even I, as a huge black/death metal fan can love their songs, that says something :) 6:25 Btw, that "devil horns" sign \m/, was "invented" by Ronnie James Dio (Rest in peace brother!), when he joined Black Sabbath. He is one of the fathers of metal... Ozzy Osbourne, the original singer of the band (Before he went solo), used to point one finger up during shows. Ronnie didn't want to copy him, so instead he made this "devil" sign, which he burrowed from his family really: They are of Italian origins and they used this sign to ward off "bad spirits". So he used it and thanks to him, the "devil horns" are THE symbol of all metal that there is. His voice is the stuff of legends and his contribution to metal in general is nothing short of a miracle. The only thing that was greater than his talent were his good deeds, which are too numerous to count. Especially his help to children who lived on the streets. He was really an angel with one of the most loving hearts one can find :| So for his honor, here is my third suggestion: 3. Dio, "Rainbow in the Dark". th-cam.com/video/hZnfbd_BGw8/w-d-xo.html Of his first solo album (He was 40 at the time. And yes, his voice was as perfect as if he was 20). He played "heavy metal" as well, so don't worry about it being scary or something :) I think that the song captures his style, voice and personality very well, so this is my suggestion :)
Did you know one of Babymetal's backstories is that Babymetal exist to make metal popular again in Japan and more importantly it seems to be working: th-cam.com/video/X5370G4FJ30/w-d-xo.htmlm14s This probably means Babymetal songs are also written to allow people from outside of metal to enjoy it and get into it. This I think is also why Babymetal was suggested.
Yes, I suggested to her Babymetal in the video of Death metal reaction. I think after a few listens to Babymetal songs, maybe her ears will be more predisposed to listen heavy riffs and shreding guitars.
Marty has some interesting things to say about metal and the idol where Babymetal came from (lots of people wouldn't consider them idol anymore): th-cam.com/video/wEs36655KRw/w-d-xo.htmlm22s
Hey, I love your channel. I came from the flute video, I think you're gonna be big soon :-) Oh, have you heard of the Japanese all-girl metal band, "Lovebites"? They have an awesome song called "Shadowmaker", you can make a reaction video on that.
Dont worry about not being able to tell the difference between genres. Its simple matter of when your really into a thing you can tell the niuanced difference.
Perfect intro to metal for a k pop fan as babymetal are a metal and J pop fusion but they pull influence from lots of genres from reggae, goth techno, drum and bass to traditional japanese music.
Glad to see yoy again ❤❤❤ Give these a try (off screen) 1. Megitsune 2. Catch me If you can 3. Gimme chocolate 4. iine! 5. Ijime dame zettai These are all babymetal songs
Not sure if you were recommended those videos or a chance selection? However you chose these two videos, they are an excellent choice. The music video for 'Karate' is a song from their second CD. Headbanger is from the first CD and they are using the live band (Kami band) at this stage as opposed to the skeleton band (Mr Bones) who mimed playing the instruments. Their earlier music videos were made when they were much younger and are songs from their first CD. The early music videos, although very cute (kawaii) do not offer a good representation of their live shows. Many first time reactors to BabyMetal, look at the official video for Gimmie Chocolate (it gets chosen because of the high view numbers) think it is gimmicky, take a look and react to another early music video and write them off as a manufactured gimmick. Somehow, you managed to get both videos passed the Copyright block. A word of warning, many BabyMetal videos get a worldwide block. The person reacting does the video in video option, as you have done here and after a while, TH-cam blocks them or cuts the audio of the song. There are many BabyMetal songs which are more on the 'poppy' side which may appeal to you more? Here are a couple of links for you to look at and react if you wish. 'Doki Doki Morning' a earlier live performance with the skeleton band: th-cam.com/video/_KZ-iIsx2Qk/w-d-xo.html 'Awadama Fever' a live performance with the Kami Band and some on screen translation: www.dailymotion.com/video/x4c5v4j Congratulations on making a good effort to stop using the word 'like'. A very difficult habit to break especially when friends and family use it ad infinitum.
*IF WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT POP, I WOULD BE SCREAMING KPOPPPPP ALL THE WAY* *BUT IF WE WILL TALK ABOUT WHO GOT THE BEST ROCK AND METAL MUSICS IN ASIA, I WOULD DEFINITELY TELL YOU, ITS JAPAN! J-ROCK IS THE FREAKING BEST AMONG ALL ASIAN ROCKS!! THEY ARE UNIQUEEE!!*
Cute and badass at the same time!! :)......5:40 "don't eat that!" you have seen too much Japanese tv! Glad you like some metal even if it is baby metal!!! arigato goziemashita!
Loved your reactions. I've seen several "How ? respond to Babymetal" and am always disappointed that "Road To Resistance" isn't included because it is a masterpiece. From the song to the flawless choreography. From the directing to the editing. From the Morgue Metal band (with the scary good drummer and guitarist) to the pyro. It is unlike anything I've ever tubed. A blogger made a vid of Japanese people reactioning to Babymetal, they were all lukewarm. Most hadn't heard of them and one guy said Japanese metal wouldn't succeed in Japan. Well Babymetal plays in large sold out venues. So it seems half of Japan knows them and it seems they're doing just fine.
Great reaction ur so cute! u should react to more Babymetal some of their cute songs are Doki Doki Morning, Onedari Daisakusen, 4 no uta, Uki Uki Midnight... u won't regret it
I figured you would like that better than Cannibal Corpse. And yes, the two younger girls did crucify Su the main singer on stage once but just once, lol. Afterall they are a metal band.
Well, not sure specifically about crucifixion in case of Babymetal, my guess is it's an homage to what other metal bands do. But as I understand it in stories in Japan rebirth is used to signify a new phase in life. In case of Su-metal, the main singer, she was turning 16, it was a birthday concert and a new phase in life.
Yes, live performances are where this band shines. If you want to workout with Babymetal, maybe Megitsune is for you. Or if you want a ballad, The One.
You can't do reactions to this video if you include the video in your own because you'll get a copyright strikes. You would need to ask your viewers to open a new window or tab and play the music video there. Some do this and it works. Some viewers don't like it though.
Yes, maybe not yet, but I hope she will keep trying to learn and understand differents styles of music, as well as we are trying to unravel the complexity of pop music (?).
If you could I would react to Babymetal's complete set at Sonisphere 2014. It was their first performance outside of Asia. It is a little over half an hour long.
You are very prophetic! When you told Moa not to eat the fly you were obviously not aware that she is BIG into food and a puppy was a good stab at deciphering the fox symbol
Just saw your video and wondering if you have checked out Dreamcatcher before. They just release their full album with the title track "Scream" and their third Japanese single "Endless Night" which is their take on Metal.
The hand sign they did was the symbol of the Inari Fox. Inari Fox is the Japanese god of foxes, of fertility, rice, tea and sake, of agriculture and industry, of general prosperity and worldly success, and one of the principal gods of Shinto.
Giddy Kitty Yes! BABYMETAL fans are very close to each other more than any other fan base in my opinion. With that said all of us as close and connected as we are we're called as a whole THE ONE. And since you said you really like them you are now part of the family! If you ever want to connect with other fans I highly recommend the group BABYMETAL FANS WORLD👌 on Facebook. We're always talking to each other and sharing funny posts. In general we all have fun and enjoy each other. We're always looking for and accepting new members!
They have a song called THE One which they sing for the fans and they contributed to the writing. There is a part Japanese version and a full English version too
Sadly I had never heard of them until reading about the guitar players death in the news. Went to TH-cam to check them out and am hooked. Anime Metal. Nothing like it.
These girls perform with Metallica and Judas Priest. They are well respected in the Metal industry. Japan does not appreciate them as much as North America and Europe does.
BABAYMETAL are all kawaii and badass, and their band KAMI band are sick! If you are into this kind of genre please do check band maid, they are great too! And if you would like to check out male band, check out one ok rock, they are also from japan 🗾 🇯🇵 but they are recently playing in the west and starting to be known, they are from the same talent agency as BABYMETAL.
About that comment that Karate sounded like an opening or sth from an anime. Well funny enough Idk if it ever was used like that but The oldest girl before being in Babymetal in her previous band sang the opening to the anime Zettai Karen Children. Imagine Xmen with 3 lolis as Main Characters I think Su was like 10 when recording that track if not younger
Hey a fellow kpop fan here, I am a blink sone, also I love babymetal as well cause I am also a metal head! Check out cradle of filth her ghost in the fog! Also my favorite babymetal song is megistune, and also iine is cool! Also watch sakura gaiken.
It's a different genre from K-POP, so there's no need to compare.
You mean it's supposed to be. But actually it's Jpop with metal influences. It's the same basic concept, the only difference is the background music. Both have dancers, both have choreographed dance routines. Both involve young teenage girls. It's just repackaged to appeal to a different audience. I'm not saying it's a bad thing to enjoy it, but it's really just the same thing repackaged.
@@Smartguy561 As you may not know, K-pop has been around for the last 20 years. J-pop (Kayo-kyoku) is older than K-pop, its form is not repackaged. Japan is not active in the foreign music market, because it doesn't have to be. Therefore, many foreigners do not know Japanese music.
"J-pop" is a name created by a Japanese radio station in 1989, and it is Japanese-made English. Then, in the late 1990s, Japan began to call it "K-pop" to refer to Korean music.
The music market in Japan and the United States is huge enough to occupy half of the world. In comparison, the Korean market is small. So in the 2000s, K-pop was on sale in the Japanese market. And in the 2010s, K-pop entered the U.S. market.
Babymetal, YMO and Kyu Sakamoto were not created for sale abroad. People who were interested in Japanese music found them and became famous.
Thank you!
@@YA-fi3ng not true. If you actually research the history of the band, you will see that the basis for the musical style of the band is I'm fact, Jpop. This can be confirmed by googling the band and reading the history of the band you will see that their vocal style is heavily influenced by 1960's Japanese rock and pop. Thank you!
@@Smartguy561 not true?
Babymetal is produced by a team. The leader of the team was influenced by X-Japan, Seikima II, Animetal, etc. It was born from his idea that it would be interesting to add cute dancers like babies to Japanese metal. Su, Yui, Moa and Mikiko (dance choreographer) didn't know metal until they formed Babymetal. It is thought that it gave birth to a novel style.
Thank you!
@@YA-fi3ng Go read the history of the band and what the musical influences are. The band member themselves define their music as a blend of Jpop EDM and metal. I apologise for the KPop mention in my original comment that was actually a typo. I meant to say Jpop. (I have the stupid keyboard correction program to thank for the typo.) Sorry for that misunderstanding.
Karate isn't about fighting the bad guy. It's about defeating challenges in your life and yourself and overcoming them. Pretty much all of Babymetal songs are positive like that in one way or another
The first song, Karate, is the girls fighting their alter selves, which is symbolism for the biggest thing holding you back is yourself.. The theme is never give up, always move forward. The second song, Headbanger, is truly a girl power song. it's about a 15 year old girl discarding the traditional role of a young girl in Japan and attending her first metal concert, with a deeper meaning of "be yourself". You'll find "girl power" and positive themes in almost all Babymetal songs. The video you watched is a concert from 2013 of Su's (lead singer) 16th birthday celebration. The other two girls would have been 15.
I hope you keep looking into Babymetal. They are an island in the world of metal... and music in general. Three young girls who go well out of their way (with support from their management and team) to not be sexualized, presenting a positive image, and carrying a positive message. Each of the girls considers being a role model to other young girls an honor and a responsibility, trying hard to live up to that designation.
,Some of the more "Poppy" songs are Doki Doki Morning. Ilne (pronounced ill-nay, which means so good), Uki-Uki Midnight, Awadama Fever, and Yava. Perhaps the most enabling girl power song is "Megitsune", which carries a very powerful message (despite women sometimes feeling forced to hide behind makeup and smiles, they are bad asses that should not be underestimated). Songs with harder metal influences include Sis Anger and Rondo of Nightmare.
Kmuda Oscarfish actually, it's "iine," pronounced "ee-ne."
Yava! is poppy? Come on, you can literally break your neck from headbanging to the chorus, I can tell you.
Bravo
*gets to best part of the song* responds with “ok that’s ruining it for me”...sigh.
She's a metal noob so she's not going to get that the noise is part of metal and metal shows.
Hey man, everyone loves different things. My friends don't like music without lyrics, and I love jazz and classical. There's no wrong way to enjoy music!
The second song reminded me
Why I stopped listening to BabyMetal
@@BramLastname That's strange given that it's from their first album.
@@Mike-xh8fl not everything progresses linearly
the guitar solo is not "ruining", it's MUSIC!!!!. real music, people playing an instrument, not computer generated noises or anything like that, don't be afraid of guitars, it's real music!!!
also, maybe death metal or black metal are not for you, but try some older kind of metal maybe? from the 70s and 80s? like "paranoid" by black sabbath, "breaking the law" by judas priest (and then check out the live version by babymetal!), "trust" by megadeth, stuff like that.
"Symphony of Destruction" by Megadeth.
Pelger yes
I reckon hahahahaha ruining it with their skill? smh
"not computer generated noises or anything like that" talking as if music producers aren't skilled musicians.
He's talking about music programmers not producers.
Babymetal is a straight injection of pure happiness. Welcome to the fam... we are the one. XD
the handsign is supposed to be a fox. closely resembling the normal devil horn metal handsign. as for the meaning of the songs, Karate is about fighting yourself and your inner demons. Headbanger is about growing up and developing your own identity. and all that energy is present in almost all their songs! very much part of what makes them awesome. would recommend Road of resistance as the next babymetal song. and then either Akatsuki or Amore. the last two are solo performances by Suzuka the lead singer, without the two younger ones (Yui and Moa) :)
supposedly the girls were told to do the heavy metal 'horns' sign, but they messed it up and did it this way (fox sign) instead of correcting them the manager decided to call it the 'fox sign' and created a whole 'Fox God' back story ... which if you ever get around to watching one of their live concerts is a major theme throughout the show.
I can add two more: Ijime, dame, zetai is about bullying and to not let it get to you and to bystanders to take responsibility. Gimme chocolat is about liking to eat sweets and not worry too much about becoming a bit chubby (not fat, as that's something entirely different). Although this is more in relation to the Japanese culture, it applies to everyone.
If you are going to reccommend Su solo songs you have to mention "No Rain, No Rainbow"
i love baby metal .
:D
Wow you are so cute ....
I like that i can't understand the lyrics. Most of the time the actual lyrics are a letdown. I can love the music and not have it ruined by bad lyrics.
@@KenjaTimu Not sure what you're talking about- the lyics for most of their songs are rather happy and peppy.
@@Danganraptor most? Dunno. Akatsuki is melancholy. So is Headbanger. No rain no rainbow is very sad. So is Starlight.
But I was talking about English songs from other groups.
Her voice is soooo clean
The Metal genre is very brought, it has very many sub-genres. And Babymetal lives on the edge of the metal genre. Some say they've created their own sub-genre. Glad you like them.
You can definitely work out on Babymetal, they have concerts up to 1.5 hours without pausing ! Not sure how they do it. They most have so much energy ! As you can see the audience also gets a great workout too.
Maybe we'll keep the crucifixion video for later. :-)
+Giddy Kitty OK, yes she was crucified in concert for her birthday. But she got better. : )
It's sort of like in Star Wars. When she is struck down she comes back more powerful than you can even imagine.
Holy shit no brake in between they are nuts that cant be healthy
Yaaay, so glad to see that Ghost is on your metal suggestions list! They're definitely more theatrical and melodic with their songs, I think you'll love them! "Cirice" is on the list, I see; maybe add their songs "He Is," "Pinnacle to the Pit," and "Square Hammer" as well? All of those are super catchy songs with very creative music vids. Keep up the great work! \m/
Welcome to the world of BABYMETAL! There is a lot of history if you choose to pursue it. I hope you do more reactions to them!
Nope. Like what you like. It's a big world.
Guess Who don't see anything wrong with that, I'm a fan of lots of other metal bands, including this one
MetalNcarnet i see you in every reaction video.
МЁТАЛЛСАГЛЁТ?
мёталсаглёт?
I never thought i would tell someone to listen to Babymetal......but......LISTEN TO BABY METAL!!!!
Hi there, I really liked this video and look forward to you delving more into Babymetal and the different styles of metal. I think there is so much wonder and surprise to be gained exploring metal music.
Babymetal is a much more beginner friendly band for metal than Behemoth or Cannibal Corpse. Also, it doesn’t help that the graphic nature of the videos can’t be anything but a bit distracting from the experience of the song. I love those bands, but it definitely took time for me to appreciate their sounds. They were very much an acquired taste for me over time.
Also I can relate to what you mentioned in the second video about there being a lot of sounds in the middle of song. When the guitarist started soloing a little bit, you said it was a little bit ruining of the experience. It’s okay for the sounds to impact people that way when starting with metal. There’s a density and thickness to the instrumentation that takes time for ears to become accustomed to, everything sounds a bit chaotic at first. But over time ears will pick up on and appreciate what the instruments are doing, things will start to sound clearer.
More Babymetal- definitely Road of Resistance live
For a band to explore after Babymetal, let’s see, try:
Nightwish- Ghost Love Score @ Buenos Aires
Devin Townsend- Kingdom EMGTV performance
Iron Maiden- Hallowed Be Thy Name live
Metallica- One
Keep up the good work, take care
I almost think she need to listen to Pink Floyd or something to get used to all the guitar stuff. Built it up from scratch.
autohmae I like your idea. Really hoping Giddy’s next dive into Babymetal includes the Road of Resistance live video. The united audience during the “whoa-oh-whoa-ohs” is really cool to experience. And the guitar is pretty catchy with some shreddy parts that are a bit more beginner friendly to the ear, less chaotic sounding
www.dailymotion.com/video/x6h8axo
Please watch this
Delve, man delve! I enjoyed it immensely when I first got to BABYMETAL! Great history with Sakura Gakuin! Check it out!
thank you for your reaction to BABYMETAL. hope to see more your reaction on them soon ^^
I enjoyed the other video a lot more, your reaction was epic on that one 😂
It was expected that, unlike the other two (great) bands, you would enjoy BabyMetal, they are the kind of band that people that are Into Metal might enjoy.
Let me recommend something... something you might like... "Sleeping Sun" by Nightwish.
P.S.: RIP Mikio Fujioka
You most successful video at the moment...thanks to METAL music! =) That makes me very happy as a metal fan...haha. I saw it, liked it bu the way back then. BabyMetal rules for sure. Their guitarist died in a very unfortunate accident in December 2017 falling down from an observatory, he was only 37 years old. Very sad....R.I.P
I’ve never been much of a Babymetal fan, but I do respect them as musicians, and I know they put a lot of effort into their songs, but I’m glad you’ve found a metal genre you like! :D
Perhaps you could try Sabaton? They’re a power metal band, and their song “Poltava” is pretty awesome!
They are even better live lol.
Giddy Kitty 🙁 sadly one of there guitarist pass away recently his name was mikio fujioka.
Well, I hope they put his name on all their instruments. That way, he'll always be on stage when they perform.
zondaintheair they still put on a great fucking show
zondaintheair nope, they really do it live, not pre recorded
zondaintheair Watch again - there is no lip sync since a couple of the first shows in 2011/12, everything they do is live with just tiny (and obvious) segments using backing track in one or two songs.
You are adorable and hilarious! Love what you're doing. great video! Love Baby Metal they are incredible. I also love Japanese culture.
HAHA, you are KPOP fan alright. If you find instrumental part annoying. I dont blame you though. Kpop is completely artificial thing without any sort of real music or talent (aside of dancing). If i was Kpop fan i would be confused too.
pajmic666 hahaha agree dude.For recent years,kpop have become a big nest of radical feminism...
There are certainly Kpop groups that ave more talemt than just dancing. Most are pretty "fabricated" but i suggest dreamcatcher, they are a girl group that has a more dark concept and their musical style reminds me of jrock (but in korean). They also contribute to the lyrics (and are fans of babymetal). Im sure its annoying, but i would also recommend bts. The write and produce their own music, and have pretty amazing vocal and rap talents. Most people stereotype them, but the rock version of fake love is pretty dope. And their lyrics are about self love, criticizing society and so on.
Nice reaction. Hands are in the sign of the Fox God, part of their mythology. Check out Megitsune and Gimme Chocolate.
hi. i was laughing so much to the other other react video from you. it was quite fun to see you so traumatized from bands like Cannibal Corpse or the likes of Behemoth. I definitely knew something like this would definitely if your liking.
I also have a request as well. try reacting to either Nightwish or Within Temptation or Arch Enemy(this is heavier than the other 2, but one of the greatest metal vocals out there)
and keep up the great work.
Karate is about confronting your inner demons like self doubt as if you're in a physical fight and you may get knocked down, but you still need to get back up and keep fighting.
The hand gesture is a symbol of the Fox God that they've appropriated as a "rock n roll hand sign".
The sign they made at the end is for the INUGAMI it is a ancient Japanese Spirit of Guidance who the band believes watches over them. Rather poetic and amazing
Thank you for having an open mind and trying this form of metal. Unfortunately they just lost their guitarist Mikio Fujioka recently. Awesome video! #Moametalrules
Had the privilege to see them live they are really good and keeps the crowd oh and its insane the shows are very fun.
Dang, and here I was hoping you were going to watch the live crucifixion performance of Headbanger. But I'm glad you didn't at the same time! XD
No need to turn you away. We need more metal heads! \m/
End of Karate check the close up of the eye's of the other girls that you had mentioned in your video (they had beautiful eye's), you'll see the reflections of the babymetal members in there eyes... Pretty cool stuff there...
Kawaii Metal kicks ass!!
You said everything....They are so cute and Badass in the same time. Love it.
Actually that Headbanger song (second one on stage) is the Suzukas (lead singer) 16 birthday and that is actually one performance with crusifiction (I think they did it several times but only on special occasions) like her 20 birthday also....
It breaks my "BABYMETAL" heart to think we may never see these three on stage ever again!
What what why???
Not really sure Yui will be back.
Live Performance is amazing , super and lit
Yeah they are cute , and your pretty .. more videos of babymetal plssss..
They're hand gesture has a duel meaning its a symbol for the fox god and the rock sign together.
Those three girls were originally in a J-Pop idol group. They had never heard metal before going into the studio for the first time to record the first Babymetal song.
David Frischknecht Not sure the point your getting at here. Everyone has to start somewhere right?
I wasn't a big metal fan when I was their age either. I was into classical music believe it or not. Until Black Sabbath consumed my soul lol.
Are you going to give me a hard time as well? I think it has been a benefit and given fresh perspective.
The girls clearly have grown to love it and that's all that matters. Metal exclusive club status needs to end if it's going to have a future, just saying. :/
I was just stating a fact. I love Babymetal's music.
Fantastic!
I like all of BabyMetal songs, I kinda wished the girl did reactions to more videos, it's nice to see how a kpop usual listener reacts to babymetal
I find hard to like kpop though, the only group that sometimes I like is called Exid(?), also I like some few trot songs from there.
nice reaction / review! Babymetal has lead me to all kinds of Japanese music (but much more pop: Perfume, AKB48, anime themes, Utada, etc.) and I kind of love it all ...! I think Babymetal is coming out with new music in 2018 by the way ...
From Japan. They lost their guiter player because of an accident last year...😢 He has two daughters... I was shocked to have known this news.I'm sorry for my bad English.
z zz your English is great :) Yes I heard the news :/ I was pretty sad to hear that..
@hmangaihsanga desu I'm so sorry. I took mistake because I thought lol means crying. I didn't know it means laughing.
Did Suzuka pull a Freddie Mercury with the mic stand? I can dig it.
If you liked this I would suggest listening to Dragonforce, some of the people in Dragonforce write some of Babymetals music. It’s power metal, one of the least scary metal genres out there I really think you’ll like them. Also you just got a new sub! Love your channel
Judging by what she said about the guitar playing of Mikio in this video: "there were a lot of sounds going on and was kind of annoying." seems to me like Dragonforce might not yet be for her ? Well, it would take a good song selection probably. I did people suggest the Babymetal song that the 2 guitarists of Dragonforce created the guitar parts for: Road of Resistance. So we'll see what happens.
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAt???????????????
my fav band is involved in the making of this monstrosity?!?!?!
Check out the video for "THE ONE" by Baby Metal. You won't regret it. You really won't. Trust me.
In deed one of my fav.s to awsom to see the stage with the 3 foxed spewing fog
How can you be obsessed with everything japanese without knowing Babymetal? They are huge. WEABOO!
Daaaw, Yui and Moa looks sooo happy as they are spraying the crowd with what ever that was xD
Just big amused smiles xD
WolfFireheart Su set the crowd on fire with her singing, so Yui & Moa we’re putting them out.
Great video (yes, I'm watching all your reaction videos).
And if you wonder about the diference between death metal, black metal and blackened death metal...
Well, death metal usually is really fast (with very quicky tempos), and the guitars are tuned low. The quality of the sound is good. The voices are deep, brutal and low (that kind of voice is called "growl"). And the lyrics usually are about death, darkness, gore, murder, etc. There are a few bands (like Death) that talk about phillosophy. Is a really brutal a music
The black metal is darker, but less brutal. Usually the tempos are slower than in the death metal, and the sound quality is worse. And that is used for many bands to create a dark atmosphere. The voices are high pitched (a kind of scream called "shriek", but some bands uses growls but in a hugher pitch than in the death metal). And the lyrics are usually about death, satanism (usually made like a way to protest aganist the cristianity), protest aganist religion, the forest, the ancient escandinavian culture, and even some bands (like Immortal) talk about fantasy
And the blackened death metal is a combination of both. Is death metal with some black metal elements. (Behemot is a great example. Is brutal, but is athmospheric and the lirycs are more similar to the black metal lyrics. But the music is more similar to the death metal
Ps: sorry for my bad english. In my country we talk in spanish
Pps: I love your pronunciation
never heard of babymetal until 2017. They have been out along time before that. Our stupid american entertainment industry is corrupt as hell
is old but if u want a clear thing about this, she is in a live concert, not backup.. her voice is stable in all the concert.
a kpop group can even do it 2 songs with correct performance lmao.. and is valid for every kpop group i watched.
BTS, blackpink, (snsd uff playback queens), 2ne1, miss a, twice, mamamoo etc..
full of back track and playback, specially in the singer parts, not the raps bc is easy
Welcome to LITERALLY the single best fusion of music genres.... ever!
DunceInAwhile Thanks!!
No Problem!
If you blown out by this, try their live concert. It just pure awesomeness...
Baby Metal impresses me. Those girls either know their Metal Roots, or are being taught Metal Roots in the process. The "Puppy" as you've referred to it, is something that was brought forth by Ronnie James Dio. It's from Italy. It's called Catching the Evil Eye. A hand sign that is to ward away negative energy. One of their other videos, I feel, is a tribute to the Soul of Metal as well as a tribute to the late Ronnie James Dio. RIP Ronnie.
the sign they use is the sign of the Fox god, who chose Babymetal to bring a new type of metal to the world
They opened at a Metallica show in 2017. I like it best when they include the actual band. It would be cool to see the girls playing instruments.
Babymetal was the creation of a new subgenre of metal music, it's called Kawaii Metal (Cute Metal).
They are amazing.. nothing like their live shows..
skål dear Rana! Sorry for not seeing this earlier :)
Great reaction!
I had a feeling you would like them :) That's awesome!
Well, Babymetal are far... Err, very far ;) From my taste... But I think that they are doing great in combining distortion and metal riffs with Japanese pop. They call it "cute metal"... Well, I can't deny that they are cute indeed! And yes, they are perfect for anime themes :)
They are a bit older now, 18-20 years old, but they started when they were very young... And they are still going :)
5:04 Indeed, you're an angel, may there be no doubts about that (!) They should save a place for you in their band!
*My suggestions for the next metal songs ;) And a bit of lore about the "metal sign"*
I'll give two of them (Plus another one afterwards), if that ok. One is a classic and a must fist step in metal in genral... And the second is from a later style, which I think you might LOVE:
1. Iron Maiden, "Hallowed by thy name".
th-cam.com/video/71TJitXU8Z0/w-d-xo.html
I think you may really love Iron Maiden's "Hallowed Be Thy Name". They are one of the most important metal bands in general and this is one of their classic songs. They play "heavy metal", which means that it's not heavy :) At least not compared to the death metal you've heard... They have the clean vocal of one of the greatest singer of all time, Bruce Dickinson and the pace and riffs are all very easy for anyone to listen to. Even today, I can never have enough of Maiden...
So, to sum my nonsensical ranting...I think that this is a great song to listen too in general and especially when you want a first taste of "Metal" :)
2. Nightwish, "Sleeping Sun". (It's their softest song, but also one of their best :).
th-cam.com/video/zfPWU6CJ3vY/w-d-xo.html
Nightwish are a *symphonic metal* band, the greatest in their genre perhaps. They are one of the founders of it, really. They started with Tarja Turunen (aka "The syren"), as their singer and her unique soprano voice, gave them a very distinctive sound. To this day, their time with Tarja puts them as special among all other bands in their genre... Essentially since most of their songs were written for Tarja's voice and to her, *personally*...
They combine metal with symphony elements. They have "heavy" songs and soft songs and many ballads.
Sadly, the way it ended between them and Tarja in 2005 is one of the greatest dramas in the history of metal... :\ But nonetheless, their times together was magic that happens once in a life time. If even I, as a huge black/death metal fan can love their songs, that says something :)
6:25 Btw, that "devil horns" sign \m/, was "invented" by Ronnie James Dio (Rest in peace brother!), when he joined Black Sabbath. He is one of the fathers of metal... Ozzy Osbourne, the original singer of the band (Before he went solo), used to point one finger up during shows. Ronnie didn't want to copy him, so instead he made this "devil" sign, which he burrowed from his family really: They are of Italian origins and they used this sign to ward off "bad spirits". So he used it and thanks to him, the "devil horns" are THE symbol of all metal that there is. His voice is the stuff of legends and his contribution to metal in general is nothing short of a miracle.
The only thing that was greater than his talent were his good deeds, which are too numerous to count. Especially his help to children who lived on the streets. He was really an angel with one of the most loving hearts one can find :|
So for his honor, here is my third suggestion:
3. Dio, "Rainbow in the Dark".
th-cam.com/video/hZnfbd_BGw8/w-d-xo.html
Of his first solo album (He was 40 at the time. And yes, his voice was as perfect as if he was 20). He played "heavy metal" as well, so don't worry about it being scary or something :) I think that the song captures his style, voice and personality very well, so this is my suggestion :)
Did you know one of Babymetal's backstories is that Babymetal exist to make metal popular again in Japan and more importantly it seems to be working: th-cam.com/video/X5370G4FJ30/w-d-xo.htmlm14s This probably means Babymetal songs are also written to allow people from outside of metal to enjoy it and get into it. This I think is also why Babymetal was suggested.
autohmae
Didn't know about that :)
But hey, Japan already received Marty Friedman...
Yes, I suggested to her Babymetal in the video of Death metal reaction. I think after a few listens to Babymetal songs, maybe her ears will be more predisposed to listen heavy riffs and shreding guitars.
Marty has some interesting things to say about metal and the idol where Babymetal came from (lots of people wouldn't consider them idol anymore): th-cam.com/video/wEs36655KRw/w-d-xo.htmlm22s
Well, Marty is considered the pioneer of kawaii metal in Japan.
Babymetal is actually life I love them I swear kpop fan and j-metal fan equals a crazy ass person
Hey, I love your channel. I came from the flute video, I think you're gonna be big soon :-)
Oh, have you heard of the Japanese all-girl metal band, "Lovebites"?
They have an awesome song called "Shadowmaker", you can make a reaction video on that.
Dont worry about not being able to tell the difference between genres. Its simple matter of when your really into a thing you can tell the niuanced difference.
Does anyone have an idea if the choreography has anything specific to Japanese culture ?
Yes! More Babymetal please!
And muting is ok. We're used to that. :)
Perfect intro to metal for a k pop fan as babymetal are a metal and J pop fusion but they pull influence from lots of genres from reggae, goth techno, drum and bass to traditional japanese music.
You're looking good again :)
Giddy Kitty I would like to be friends with you if I lived in the same place as you ^^
Giddy Kitty you sound Hispanic?
I thought it was Italian...? But maybe I'm wrong.
Glad to see yoy again ❤❤❤
Give these a try (off screen)
1. Megitsune
2. Catch me If you can
3. Gimme chocolate
4. iine!
5. Ijime dame zettai
These are all babymetal songs
Giddy Kitty you're welcome as always :D love your videos :D
Not sure if you were recommended those videos or a chance selection? However you chose these two videos, they are an excellent choice. The music video for 'Karate' is a song from their second CD. Headbanger is from the first CD and they are using the live band (Kami band) at this stage as opposed to the skeleton band (Mr Bones) who mimed playing the instruments.
Their earlier music videos were made when they were much younger and are songs from their first CD. The early music videos, although very cute (kawaii) do not offer a good representation of their live shows.
Many first time reactors to BabyMetal, look at the official video for Gimmie Chocolate (it gets chosen because of the high view numbers) think it is gimmicky, take a look and react to another early music video and write them off as a manufactured gimmick.
Somehow, you managed to get both videos passed the Copyright block. A word of warning, many BabyMetal videos get a worldwide block. The person reacting does the video in video option, as you have done here and after a while, TH-cam blocks them or cuts the audio of the song.
There are many BabyMetal songs which are more on the 'poppy' side which may appeal to you more? Here are a couple of links for you to look at and react if you wish.
'Doki Doki Morning' a earlier live performance with the skeleton band: th-cam.com/video/_KZ-iIsx2Qk/w-d-xo.html
'Awadama Fever' a live performance with the Kami Band and some on screen translation: www.dailymotion.com/video/x4c5v4j
Congratulations on making a good effort to stop using the word 'like'. A very difficult habit to break especially when friends and family use it ad infinitum.
*IF WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT POP, I WOULD BE SCREAMING KPOPPPPP ALL THE WAY*
*BUT IF WE WILL TALK ABOUT WHO GOT THE BEST ROCK AND METAL MUSICS IN ASIA, I WOULD DEFINITELY TELL YOU, ITS JAPAN! J-ROCK IS THE FREAKING BEST AMONG ALL ASIAN ROCKS!! THEY ARE UNIQUEEE!!*
Cute and badass at the same time!! :)......5:40 "don't eat that!" you have seen too much Japanese tv! Glad you like some metal even if it is baby metal!!! arigato goziemashita!
Did i just saw you on a another babymetal reaction video????
Babymetal> K Pop
Loved your reactions. I've seen several "How ? respond to Babymetal" and am always disappointed that "Road To Resistance" isn't included because it is a masterpiece. From the song to the flawless choreography. From the directing to the editing. From the Morgue Metal band (with the scary good drummer and guitarist) to the pyro. It is unlike anything I've ever tubed. A blogger made a vid of Japanese people reactioning to Babymetal, they were all lukewarm. Most hadn't heard of them and one guy said Japanese metal wouldn't succeed in Japan. Well Babymetal plays in large sold out venues. So it seems half of Japan knows them and it seems they're doing just fine.
Great reaction ur so cute! u should react to more Babymetal some of their cute songs are Doki Doki Morning, Onedari Daisakusen, 4 no uta, Uki Uki Midnight... u won't regret it
Hey beautiful reaction
The hand sign is the sign of the Fox god
You need to go see them live. They will blow you away. They are lil bad asses on stage.
I figured you would like that better than Cannibal Corpse. And yes, the two younger girls did crucify Su the main singer on stage once but just once, lol. Afterall they are a metal band.
But Yui and Moa lke Cannibal Corpse too. ;-) (well, I don't believe very young Moa as much, I'll believe Yui and possibly not for the music)
Plus Su sort of became Jesus for a moment on a rarely seen Babymetal song called Tsubasa Wo Kudasai.
Well, not sure specifically about crucifixion in case of Babymetal, my guess is it's an homage to what other metal bands do. But as I understand it in stories in Japan rebirth is used to signify a new phase in life. In case of Su-metal, the main singer, she was turning 16, it was a birthday concert and a new phase in life.
Su-Metal was crucified again on her 20th birthday as well in Hiroshima.
She was crucified cause she died as a normal person to rebirn as a metal godness. That's the meaning of the show
Resistance is Futile! Welcome to the World of \m/ BABYMETAL \m/
Yes, live performances are where this band shines.
If you want to workout with Babymetal, maybe Megitsune is for you.
Or if you want a ballad, The One.
If you don't believe me, this is a short set: www.dailymotion.com/video/x49sqy2
The first song is Megitsune.
Be careful with copyright strkes.
You can't do reactions to this video if you include the video in your own because you'll get a copyright strikes.
You would need to ask your viewers to open a new window or tab and play the music video there. Some do this and it works. Some viewers don't like it though.
More energetic? Try Road of Resistance.

Facundo, She will not like this one... too metal for her
Yes, maybe not yet, but I hope she will keep trying to learn and understand differents styles of music, as well as we are trying to unravel the complexity of pop music (?).
it isnt a joke when ppl say they are live beter
If you could I would react to Babymetal's complete set at Sonisphere 2014. It was their first performance outside of Asia. It is a little over half an hour long.
You are very prophetic! When you told Moa not to eat the fly you were obviously not aware that she is BIG into food and a puppy was a good stab at deciphering the fox symbol
That's a damn show.. Annoying? You be crazy.. The drummer is scary, scary good.. This is an amazing group who know how to perform..
Just saw your video and wondering if you have checked out Dreamcatcher before. They just release their full album with the title track "Scream" and their third Japanese single "Endless Night" which is their take on Metal.
The hand sign they did was the symbol of the Inari Fox. Inari Fox is the Japanese god of foxes, of fertility, rice, tea and sake, of agriculture and industry, of general prosperity and worldly success, and one of the principal gods of Shinto.
Bros this was our K-POP before the actual "K-POP"
Disclaimer:
It's categorized as JROCK/KAWAII METAL
The chorus to Karate is the best hypothetical anime theme ever.
BABYMETAL is the most accessible
You need to maintain BABYMETAL
When income is required
More more more Babymetal content!
The only metal band who use DANCE👍
I love that you snuck that little pic of Zushi from Hunter x Hunter in there the first time they said "Ossu!"
The art is murder-puppet master. You won't regret it
The hand sign is for the "Inari god" but I recommend road of resistance the most
"Don't eat that!" lol
Its not K-POP. This is K-METALLLLL
Fun fact: DREAMCATCHER loves Baby Metal
Welcome to THE ONE!
Giddy Kitty Yes! BABYMETAL fans are very close to each other more than any other fan base in my opinion. With that said all of us as close and connected as we are we're called as a whole THE ONE.
And since you said you really like them you are now part of the family! If you ever want to connect with other fans I highly recommend the group BABYMETAL FANS WORLD👌 on Facebook. We're always talking to each other and sharing funny posts.
In general we all have fun and enjoy each other. We're always looking for and accepting new members!
They have a song called THE One which they sing for the fans and they contributed to the writing. There is a part Japanese version and a full English version too
Sadly I had never heard of them until reading about the guitar players death in the news. Went to TH-cam to check them out and am hooked. Anime Metal. Nothing like it.

These girls perform with Metallica and Judas Priest. They are well respected in the Metal industry. Japan does not appreciate them as much as North America and Europe does.
The hand signal thing is for the fox god
BABAYMETAL are all kawaii and badass, and their band KAMI band are sick! If you are into this kind of genre please do check band maid, they are great too! And if you would like to check out male band, check out one ok rock, they are also from japan 🗾 🇯🇵 but they are recently playing in the west and starting to be known, they are from the same talent agency as BABYMETAL.
About that comment that Karate sounded like an opening or sth from an anime. Well funny enough Idk if it ever was used like that but The oldest girl before being in Babymetal in her previous band sang the opening to the anime Zettai Karen Children. Imagine Xmen with 3 lolis as Main Characters I think Su was like 10 when recording that track if not younger
Hey a fellow kpop fan here, I am a blink sone, also I love babymetal as well cause I am also a metal head! Check out cradle of filth her ghost in the fog! Also my favorite babymetal song is megistune, and also iine is cool! Also watch sakura gaiken.
I understood it. I finally found the English version and now I understand it.
