"Megitsune", meaning female fox specifically ("me"+"kitsune"), is one of their most loved songs and the most played live one: 355 times and counting. The Kami Band is formed by four pieces: two guitars, bass and drums. In this concert they were: Chris Kelly and CJ Masciantonio (guitars), Clint Tustin (bass) and Anthony Barone (drums). That stage from the Pia Arena shows didn't go into the crowd. It only goes up and down. But yes, there are other shows where the stages move into the crowd like BABYMETAL Awakens - The sun also rises (Yokohama Arena 2019), Legend-M (Port Messe Nagoya, 2019) and Live at The Forum (The Forum, LA 2019). Special mention to the BABYMETAL Returns - The Other ONE (Makuhari Messe 2023) where the stage zone was placed linearly in the middle of the crowd and dividing it in two. The actual stages were two moving platforms (aka Roombas). The third lady is Momoko Okazaki, stage name Momometal. She became an official member right in the end of this show, BABYMETAL Begins - Black Night (Pia Arena, April 1st 2023). And yes, she got two special songs at Legend-MM (Yokohama Arena, March 2024), the concerts held to celebrate her 21st birthday earlier this year. She performed her own version of "Headbanger!" (aka "Momobanger") and "Meta Taro" (aka Momotaro). She's able to add a particular feature that BABYMETAL didn't have. 😁 🤘🦊
Welcome back. Your explanations about BABYMETAL being unique, also about them being a live Band first and foremost, the bespoke choreo story telling etc was all correct. The live videos are all great of course, but again you're right, you really need to be there in person to get the full effect .... and you will not be prepared for just how good and how powerful Su-metal's vocals are when you are there to hear for yourself. There is no other vocalist like her with her versatility and ability to express the emotion of a song - and she does that while maintaining her power and quality despite doing a lot of the choreo. Trying to compare any of the vocalists in other Japanese bands that I've heard is unfair to those other vocalists. The Kami Band is a 4 piece - 2 lead guitars, bass and drums. This was the Kami Band of the West (Chris Kelly, CJ Masciantonio, Clint Tustin and Anthony Barone). The Kami Band of the East are Japanese musicians who first appeared in October 2012, became the full time support for all live shows from March 2014 and we last saw them in January 2023. The Kami Band of the West first appeared in 2019 as support for the increasingly lengthy tours outside of Japan. They have played every concert since the PIA Arena concerts on 1st and 2nd April 2023. If you want to see more of the Kami Band East try 'Rondo of Nightmare' live at Budokan Black Night (March 2014) with the 'Mischiefs of the Metal Gods' instrumental intro. For a Kami Band West instrumental intro For The Fox God has the full version of 'YAVA' at Legend MM from March 2024. The PIA Arena (in Yokohama) stage was very elaborate but did not move out into the audience. The central stage (there were 3 stages) did rise up a long way. 'MoaBanger' was filmed at the Legend M concert (her 20th birthday celebration) in July 2019 in her home town Nagoya. Yes the stage there did move out through the crowd. 'Headbanger' is a song about coming of age, originally about a 15 year old girl going to her first concert. There are special versions of 'Headbanger' from other special occasions as well. At concerts on or near their own 15th birthdays in 2014 Yui (in Paris) and Moa (in Cologne) took over lead vocals for 'Headbanger' half way through when Su handed them the mic and stand - she took their place in the choreo. Only fancam videos exist for those performances. As you know, the same thing happened in 2019 at the Legend M concert celebrating Moametal's 20th birthday (20 is (or was) the official age of majority in Japan). The lyrics were changed to "...this special night of my 20th...". Most recently in March this year at the Legend MM concerts celebrating Momometal's 21st birthday we got her version on the day before her 21st (she was not an official member the year before so she did it to mark the last day when she was still 20). Again, For The Fox God has that if you want to hear Momometal growl.
The audience participation parts are actually mostly organic, sure sometimes they will ask for certain things but usually when a new song debuts, the audience has no idea what to do so they just stand there and enjoy a special moment, but the second time they play the song and it can be the very next night, everyone seems to know what to do, don’t ask me how they know they just do
Since you guys like that kind of music, I'll tell you the drummer is also the drummer for All That Remains. There are a few songs now that include Momo's growls (fangs). Momo Taro (Meta Taro), Ratatata, Headbanger, and the live version of Metali.
⚡ 💀 💕 🍑 / 🤘 Su has taken the lead on the vocals for 'Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!' 225 times. Moa has taken the lead 4 times, twice to celebrate her fifteenth birthday and twice for her twentieth birthday. Yui took the lead twice, on shows near her fifteenth birthday. Momoko took the lead once, at a show performed the night before she turned twenty-one. Those Moabanger, Yuibanger and Momobanger performances are fan favorites.
You really should check out Momobanger momoko sings the last half of the song there's also a version of headbanger from 2014 with Yuimetal singing leave vocals on the second half of headbanger also from her 15th birthday show in Europe somewhere I think Paris as well as a video from back then with Moametal doing the same for her 15th birthday at a show in Europe also
This song is heavily involved with Japanese society and culture, I love it so much! Foxes were thought to shapeshift into women to deceive men, and this song is almost refuting tradition in a way :)
I agree Moa has a great voice. My personal opinion is that her vocals are good enough for her to be a star even if not part of BabyMetal, but it is difficult for a star to shine when seen next to the sun that is Su. My hope for the future is that both Moa and Momo get to sing more. Moa does a few other songs by herself. Moa and Yui used to perform some songs together as a duo named Black Babymetal. Since Yui had to leave for health reasons, she has performed a few of these by herself. Be aware that these songs are a sore spot for some fans. Not because the dislike the songs or Moa, but because it reminds them that Yui had to leave. Babymetal - GJ!

Sore! 🦊🤘🔥 Welcome back to the Foxhole, it's been a while. I didn't remember this was a duo reactors, anyway the guy with the beard got it right with the pronunciation of megitsune. Keep enjoying BM songs.🦊🤘🔥
Lol we started the channel together but then I moved away and it made it hard to do the channel as a duo so Jeremy stepped down and I took the reigns. I recently moved back to where it made it easier for us to do the channel together again. Just in the time I was doing the channel alone, that's when I started doing Babymetal.

No. The audience participation is 100% organic. There is no 'Written' part for the crowd. Even during the live performances of their first song, Dokie Dokie Morning, 14 years ago, the live audience's participation is 100% organic. And there's 4 members in the Kami band and they're all American. Guitars, Chris Kelly. CJ Masciantonio Bass: Clint Tustin Drums: Anthony Barrone
Well this was the song that really Grippe the girls. They had their first protest song. In a way it was subdued but it contained a complete 180 of a zraditional fairy tale. And it is also their most played song.
Nice jobs👊🏽⚡️Way to come n with open minds👍 This song is off their 1st album and imo should be the first song people hear rather than their more popular song,”Gimmie chocolate “. Their current direction is definitely more “Megitsune”. 🦊🤘🏾
The have 2 guitarists on Bass Player and a Drummer, in their Kami Band West zhat were originaly founded to support them in their european and US Concerts but today they are in fact their main Band and support them everywhere. An essential part is they are a few years younger than the original Kami Band and are more used to cope with female superiors.
