Imagine being 15-16 years old and getting bumped up from a small side tent (expecting just a couple thousand to show) to the main stage in front of 65,000+ metalheads BUT 95% of them never heard of you, some came to hate on you (based on their videos up to this point like "Gimme Chocolate" which had gone viral a few months before and many thought they were a joke or gimmick), and these people are known to throw bottles at the acts if they don't like them! But by the end of their 30-ish minute set, the crowd is chanting "We want more! We want more!" which you can hear at the end of this video (You missed it because you ended the video early) because it was their closing song. They had the largest pits and wall of death's, as well as sold the most merch out of all the acts performing at that event (Metallica, Iron Maiden, etc). This show was the start of them blowing up outside of Japan and is considered a major moment in BABYMETAL history. This is why this show is my favorite of all their shows! Great video and reaction! Keep up the great work!
It's super funny too because almost every metalband ever is based on a gimmick. System of a Down? Sabaton? Nightwish? Metallica? Megadeth? They all have gimmicks
> "The drummer is always on point!" He (Hideki Aoyama) is a freaking living metronome! What you have just witnessed, by the way, was the last song of their breakthrough performance in the west. Game, set, and match! The rest is history! And because the lyrics of this song are very, very important: *IJIME, DAME, ZETTAI* (Bullying, No, Absolutely) [Rururu...] [Ah.] Dreaming, I couldn't have even it. Between the light and the darkness, I stayed alone. Those who got hurt were not only I myself, but also those who kept on watching me. It was you. Confidence, [Have it!] I couldn't have. [Don't be beaten!] I kept on hiding [I dislike to be found!] until yesterday. [Yesterday is gone!] But good-bye to yesterdays' myself. [Bye-bye!] Bullying. [No!] Bullying. [No!] It's disgraceful. [No! No! No! No!] Sometimes you get hurt, sometimes you hurt someone, and we all get badly hurt. Fox, [Fly!] Fox, [Fly!] I'm sure you can fly. [Fly! Fly! Fly! Fly!] Let your pain and sadness all go outside! It's OK because I'll protect you. I didn't show my tears, and in the night I was about to cry, in a room deep inside my heart, I stayed alone. Those who hurt me were not only someone else, but also those who pretended not to notice. It was my friend. Nothing [Nothing!] could I say. [Say nothing!?] I was about to give up [No easy throwing out!] until yesterday. [Yesterday is gone!] But good-bye to yesterdays' myself. [Bye-bye!] Bullying. [No!] Bullying. [No!] It's disgraceful. [No! No! No! No!] Sometimes you get hurt, sometimes you hurt someone, and we all get badly hurt. Fox, [Fly!] Fox, [Fly!] I'm sure you can fly. [Fly! Fly! Fly! Fly!] Let your pain and sadness all go outside! It's OK because I'll protect you. Pain... Aching... All the while... Alone... Your heart... Pretending not to notice... Anymore... I'll never get away. Bullying, No, Absolutely. Full of dearest-ness, it's pressuring but also encouraging. Anymore, anymore your... I don't want to see anymore your tearful face. Bullying. [No!] Bullying. [No!] It's disgraceful. [No! No! No! No!] Sometimes you get hurt, sometimes you hurt someone, and we all get badly hurt. Fox, [Fly!] Fox, [Fly!] I'm sure you can fly. Let your pain and sadness all go outside! It's OK because I'll protect you. Bullying, No, absolutely. [No! No! No! No!] Bullying, No, forever. Bullying, No, absolutely. [No! No! No! No!] Bullying, No, never.
This is the show that made BabyMetal international sensations. The producer of the festival in an interview said that when BabyMetal started performing everything back stage came to a stop as everyone was WTF? and rushed to watched them perform. Before the girls took the stage they were in the wings and from there they could not tell if there was anyone out there, the view was blocked. They decided to go out and give it their all no matter how many people were there.
True. If I'm not mistaken this was their first time performing outside of Japan. Also they were supposed to perform on the side stage but they switched them at the last minute to the main stage. What a bold and rewarding move!
The Metal elitists you mentioned were expected to be at that show in great numbers, so many (including the girls) were afraid they'd get booed off the stage, thrown bottles at or things like that. Instead they left the crowd chanting for more. That's what makes this performance so significant for fans. It marks the beginning of their success in the West. And if you watch the ending just after the "we are...", you can almost see the weight falling off the girls' shoulders as they realize that. There are quite a few big names from the Metal scene that have posed with the girls, spoken positively about them or even openly defended them against mislead Metal "fans" (Rob Zombie, Rob Halford, Chad Smith, Jonathan Davis...).
It's very likely Babymetal would not have been able to convince the metalheads in the audience without them really bringing it live, which includes the Kami band delivering the goods. If it was just Su-metal standing their singing (no dancing and looking bored as you mentioned) with the Kami band it might not even have been enough. Because what the girls do: they bring their attitude on stage. You can see the expressions on their faces they mean business and they go hard. I think that really helped the audience to have respect for the girls.
Nice reaction & thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 "Dame Zettai (= No absolutely)" part of this title is originated from police campaign against illegal drugs which had started in 1960s in Japan. So this song emphasizes that "Ijime (= bullying)" is considered as harmful thing as illegal drugs. Although we have unfortunately not been able to eliminate "Ijime" from our society yet , we have to continue our efforts at home and in school. In this video we see many mosh pits that are good signs to welcome bands. But I love more to see that the crowd gradually turned into audience. When three girls started to speak some words in the interlude, loud cheers quickly subsided and the audience even tried to listen to what they were saying despite that the people could not understand our language. I am emotionally moved whenever I see that scene. After the performance, people in the crowd became happy, so did Kami band, and I am sure that the three girls fell asleep very happily that night.
Everyone is fully aware of how incredible the Kami band is. Actually, its not unusual that people, especially new listeners, tend to focus on the band only and almost ignore how good the vocals are. Several bands have come to Baymetal's defense but you are probably thinking of Rob Zombie.
Good reaction, thanks! IDZ is definitely one of my top favorites. Really love the final part where they do that key change to get higher. Also an important message: Absolutely no more bullying. This performance is a very important piece of BABYMETAL history. This was their first performance in the UK and that was a massive festival with a crowd of 50.000+ metalheads most of which never heard about BABYMETAL before. They were very afraid before they got on stage because that particular type of crowd can be very disgusting if the band don't match their expectations (urine bottles involved, you know...). The result? They won over the UK crowd and left them asking for more. Unbelievable! But please, don't cut the end of the video we love, I mean LOVE their cute farewell... and also the crowd begging for more :) See you next time!
The Gimme Chocolate video on TH-cam is a music video. It's studio sound dubbed over the live performance of the Legend 1997 concert. "Ijime, Dame, Zettai" means "No more bullying, forever". Literally translated it's "Bullying, no good/no way, absolutely/never". This Sonisphere festival, which is one of the biggest metal festivals worldwide, was their first big performance "in the west", they've only done small venues in France and Germany I think before that one.
Not only that but Gimme Chocolate at legend of 1997 wasn't even live when it was live. I guess i'll say it for new people. The Kami band came on later in the show. The music was recorded in that part.
@@Jordan-Ramses Thanks, completely forgot to mention that part. Well, at least the vocals were live when they performed it and it was luckily the last concert with the fake Babybones IIRC.
⚡ 💀 💕 / 🚫 And… that's how you win over metalheads on your first UK appearance. They pronounce it a few times in the song, but you can just refer to this one as "I-D-Z". BABYMETAL fans will know what you're talking about. : ) Casual fans might not know who they are, but there's a lot of support for the Kami Band members, both in BABYMETAL, and in their other projects. For this Sonisphere UK performance, we had Mikio Fujioka (RIP) and Leda Cygnus on guitars, BOH on bass and Hideki Aoyama on drums.
Great reaction, guys. I think at this point making BABYMETAL a constant reaction on your channel instead of random would be a good idea. Also, having a smile on your face from ear-to-ear and getting chills/goosebumps or even crying is pretty common when listening to BABYMETAL because they are just so good, and Su-Metal's vocals lead the charge. Now, a couple things about the video, the band, etc. 1) Before everyone else gets on you about it, you NEVER stop a BABYMETAL video until it ends or you might miss something important like you did here. I'll get to that in a second. 2) You should definitely start pausing the crap out of your reactions to them because their company, Amuse, is a copyright monster and will tag you for the littlest thing if they can. It might not affect every country, but if you're looking to build your channel every block or copyright strike will hurt. 3) The neck brace you've seen and/or mentioned in the first couple videos you've reacted to is a tribute to the drummer of another Japanese metal band called X Japan. He would headbang so friggin' hard that he messed up his neck to the point where doctors told him he HAD to wear it while performing or he could kill himself the next time. 4) The band is amazing! They are called the "Kami Band", or "God Band" in English, and they are made up of some of the best session musicians in Japan. The drummer, Hideki Aoyama, is possibly the best drummer I've heard in years. BOH is their bassist (the bald guy), and I'm not sure of the guitarists at this performance. I think one was Leda Cygnus, but I'm not positive. I'll leave that to others. 5) Many people in Rock and music in general have come out in support of them. The big one you're probably thinking of was Rob Zombie. They have opened, played with, made fans of, and/or befriended SEVERAL prominent names in Rock/Metal such as: Metallica, Rob Halford of Judas Priest, the aforementioned Rob Zombie, Corey Taylor from SlipKnot (whose new music video they make a cameo in), Red Hot Chili Peppers, Lady Gaga, and others I'm forgetting I'm sure. 5) Onto this video. Multiple people have gone through the situation the girls were in for the most part, so I'll just add a couple things I *THINK* got missed. Originally, BABYMETAL was supposed to perform on a secondary stage or in a tent for like 1,000 people. "Gimme Chocolate" came out in like February of 2014 and went viral, causing the show's promoters to bump them to the main stage to open the entire show on Saturday, which they found out about a month or two in advance of the change. Their vantage point from backstage sucked and they couldn't see anyone, so they thought no one was there. They were actually more worried about what to do if there wasn't anyone in front of them. Do they perform or no? To make matters worse (I can't recall if they knew), as someone else said, the UK metal fans are rowdy on good days, and a few made comments online about not just throwing bottles at them (something UK fans will do to anyone they think sucks), but they were threatening to throw bottles of piss at them. The girls walk out to see a sea of 50K-60K people in front of them, a massive majority of whom hadn't heard of BABYMETAL. They had a bit of fight or flight response happen where they weren't sure if they could, but Su being the leader just kind of gave Yui and Moa a look or encouragement and they went right into their set. Five songs later and the crowd was eating out of the palm of their hand. The part you missed is the entire crowd chanting, if not almost begging, for more as they walked off stage. To see the giant grins on their faces at the end of the set is amazing because they knew they just did something huge.
Great reaction - and you've been told the history and significance of this performance already. Please add every BABYMETAL song on your bits of paper in your hat.
I wish you would've watched all the way through. As someone else here commented, they were bumped up on the roster to the surprise of a bunch of metal fans who had never heard of them. As they leave the stage the crowd chant "We want more!!" Oh and as for the Kami band, trust me, the fans not only acknowledge them, but they also follow their other projects and know their history and gear. I'm not adding anything to the hat until one of mine pops up. 🤣🤣Y'all have plenty to go through already.
Just to add, at the end of the video, we can hear the audience chanting 'we want more'....this is from a metal audience used to harsh guttural vocals singing about digging up graves to feast on the fermented flesh :)
That little sigh you both did at the end of the song said it all. This performance is epic in a lot of ways, it's almost like the end of a great movie. Saw this many times now, and every time I'm still stunned about what happened there.
The other aspect of the choreography besides the entertainment value as you mentioned, is that if each song has its own choreo, fans can learn it and dance along at the show, which adds a lot of fun to the whole thing... it adds more connection points between the performers and the crowd, which is always a good thing.
Great reaction guys! I. D. Z is Top Tier. You should check BABYMETAL's 2020 version of this song and of Road of Resistance new EPICS on their Legend Metal Galaxy performances. 🤘🤘🤘 All hail The Fox God
6:20 I agree with you. They are so good at what they do, so entertaining to watch. And yet you'll get a lot of people that would hate on them just because they are young girls singing and dancing to metal. They are incredible. They really deserve more credit and recognition for what they do, because they do an exceptional job every show. Great reaction! 🦊🖤
Great song , i suggested for you this song in different live , check BABYMETAL - Ijime,Dame,Zettai live legend 1997 , that's great too because with dark vibe . 🤘🦊
Unbelievable! 1st Festival outside of Asia for them and they played only 2 small concerts in Europe (France+Germany) before that. 🦊🤘 To bad you cut the video off early =( Glad I didn't cut yours off #AwholeNewWorld 😂
Yeaaa... I told someone else, the fact that we put silly stuff at the end of our videos is proof that we should end videos early since we hope others watch till the end of our videos lol. We will not do that again for sure!
Why do people hurt each other? Who do they hurt them for? More than ever, I do not wish to see you cry anymore. In a dream, the Fox God taught us "Never Give Up!" In a dream, the Fox God taught us "Wall of Death". If you show true courage, we will show true metal. No more Bullying, Forever! So, many people have already dropped the info about this song, and the history of this performance, so I'll just leave a suggestion! Rondo of Nightmare with Mischiefs of God intro live at Budokan Black Night!!!!! This is a Su solo and one of their darker toned songs. Its about a girl running from an unknown IT in a recurring nightmare. She tries to hide but IT always finds her. Realizing that she cannot escape, she pleads for IT to show itself to her. Then, finally, she falls to the darkness! Soooo dark! So metal! Love it! And the intro showcases the insane god like skills of the appropriately named Kamiband (band of Gods), and will melt your face and blow your mind! Kitsune up!\m/
Interesting fact: This song was made in response to wetserners discriminating against Babymetal, saying it was not Metal. "Ijime, Dame, Zettai" literally means "Absolutely no Bullying".
_"Throwing, Dame, Zettai"_ that was the answer of MoaMetal in an interview talking about people from the audience throwing things at them and how risky it was all that, they even got a time when some fan manage to reach the stage but they convincely negates to stop the show under any circunstance, that was their promise _"never run out of the stage"._ And there's even more stuff happening on this debut performance, as you see YuiMetal tutu dress get hook with her bracelets, you can see the piece of red cloth flying around Yui; MoaMetal got issues with her receiver device and she even fell during the fight scene (that part was cut), but these girls very well trained still keeps on as we know, "the show must go on".
> A lot of jumping in their choreo => because they were small. Also why you'd always see the 3 platforms at almost every stage they perform in (until they grew bigger).
Metal elitists are boring. I love metal. I prefer the non-growling/screaming metal, but I even enjoy some of that. If I was an elitist, I wouldn't get to enjoy 2 of my favorite bands: Babymetal and Ghost.
The girls might have been frightened by the big stage abroad for the first time, but for them the experienced backing band guys would have been a great reliable.
Never asked yourself from where comes the collar who appears here and also in "Headbanger" or from when comes the scream "We Are Babymetal"? Comes from here: th-cam.com/video/Fh7XVBzAsgg/w-d-xo.html From the theme "X" from X-Japan and of course the neck protector from Yoshiki
to be fair, left person (me, cory) already knew this song and have liked them for a long time. Michael (on the right) was reacting/hearing this for the first time. And we apologize for stopping early. We will def make sure not to end videos short and will check out the end of the video off camera!
It was the addition of the Kami Band that made them legit and accepted by others and what brought them to this festival and others. Before they used a fake band in skeleton suits with a recorded track. The members here are Hideki on drums, BOH on bass, Leda on guitar (drum side) and Mikio Fujioka on guitar (who died Jan 2018.) His guitar sounds are heard often in live concerts (Whirls, High pitches, and Harmonics). Always smiling and having fun. You can see (7:12 here) when he almost forgot to cut the sound at the break and starts to laugh. Unfortunately as of last year they started putting the band to the back and gave them masks so they can use other musicians. No more kami solos either. More of a Pop production now. Guess we will see what future shows bring.
It's funny that you talk about the musicians, some Baby Metal videos you have to see live. Like Headbanger, this video highlights the band. Now there is one that needs to be seen where every member of the Kami band gets a solo and they go off. That video is Catch Me if You Can- live black night legend doomsday. They also have the lyrics on screen in Japanese and English translation
Some advice about BABYMETAL reactions: tl;dr: Don't use compilations for BABYMETAL, we have a better solution. Please don't rely solely on videos that are on TH-cam (mainly compilations); they're not meant to be used for reactions as the mix of concerts and generally bad editing can make it confusing for those new to BABYMETAL. Also, you won't get the full BABYMETAL experience with these. Some people think they are safer for reactions, but they're not. They may get past the bot initially, but you still stand the chance of your video being blocked later and the possibility of having copyright strikes. Some fans made a selection of "best" performances for each song; I would suggest using it for future BABYMETAL reactions. Here is the link : docs.google.com/document/d/1DqPsavocgGvCyZfUHvrkgJ5KZMaMkmMgjy2UxNNG96E/edit# You should note though, that your video will almost definitely be blocked if these are included in your video and that you will need to do what we call "link & sync". It's very easy and made easier with the help of Reactor Hub, a tool made for helping avoid blocks etc. We made a short tutorial on how to use it : drive.google.com/open?id=1X6hN2BdyKzFmVN9XMEo2M89hsKY0B-bnnHRVVMNY13w Using that you are safe from blocked videos and even future copyright strikes, since no copyright material is included in your video :). There is even a discord for Reactor Hub if you need any help. I'm hoping you will have fun with BABYMETAL in future reactions :).
Love the reaction! Could you react to X Japan? They are the biggest band in Japan from the 80s, Babymetal's creator Kobametal is a big fan of them and you can find many tributes to them in Babymetal like the neck brace for example. For first reaction I would recommend Kurenai from the Last Live. th-cam.com/video/8ArAnXLbFck/w-d-xo.html

Awesome! You was there? How was the whole event?
It's super funny too because almost every metalband ever is based on a gimmick. System of a Down? Sabaton? Nightwish? Metallica? Megadeth? They all have gimmicks
@@MrProthall with 15 or 16 years old, that bands vocalists was eating dks... or pens
Specially Megadeth.
> "The drummer is always on point!"
He (Hideki Aoyama) is a freaking living metronome!
What you have just witnessed, by the way, was the last song of their breakthrough performance in the west. Game, set, and match! The rest is history! And because the lyrics of this song are very, very important:
*IJIME, DAME, ZETTAI* (Bullying, No, Absolutely)
[Rururu...]
[Ah.]
Dreaming, I couldn't have even it.
Between the light and the darkness, I stayed alone.
Those who got hurt were not only I myself,
but also those who kept on watching me. It was you.
Confidence, [Have it!]
I couldn't have. [Don't be beaten!]
I kept on hiding [I dislike to be found!]
until yesterday. [Yesterday is gone!]
But good-bye to yesterdays' myself. [Bye-bye!]
Bullying. [No!] Bullying. [No!]
It's disgraceful. [No! No! No! No!]
Sometimes you get hurt, sometimes you hurt someone,
and we all get badly hurt.
Fox, [Fly!] Fox, [Fly!]
I'm sure you can fly. [Fly! Fly! Fly! Fly!]
Let your pain and sadness all go outside!
It's OK because I'll protect you.
I didn't show my tears, and in the night I was about to cry,
in a room deep inside my heart, I stayed alone.
Those who hurt me were not only someone else,
but also those who pretended not to notice. It was my friend.
Nothing [Nothing!]
could I say. [Say nothing!?]
I was about to give up [No easy throwing out!]
until yesterday. [Yesterday is gone!]
But good-bye to yesterdays' myself. [Bye-bye!]
Bullying. [No!] Bullying. [No!]
It's disgraceful. [No! No! No! No!]
Sometimes you get hurt, sometimes you hurt someone,
and we all get badly hurt.
Fox, [Fly!] Fox, [Fly!]
I'm sure you can fly. [Fly! Fly! Fly! Fly!]
Let your pain and sadness all go outside!
It's OK because I'll protect you.
Pain...
Aching...
All the while...
Alone...
Your heart...
Pretending not to notice...
Anymore...
I'll never get away.
Bullying, No, Absolutely.
Full of dearest-ness, it's pressuring but also encouraging.
Anymore, anymore your...
I don't want to see anymore your tearful face.
Bullying. [No!] Bullying. [No!]
It's disgraceful. [No! No! No! No!]
Sometimes you get hurt, sometimes you hurt someone,
and we all get badly hurt.
Fox, [Fly!] Fox, [Fly!]
I'm sure you can fly.
Let your pain and sadness all go outside!
It's OK because I'll protect you.
Bullying, No, absolutely. [No! No! No! No!]
Bullying, No, forever.
Bullying, No, absolutely. [No! No! No! No!]
Bullying, No, never.

Great reaction! Put "BABYMETAL - Road of Resistance live in Japan" in your hat!!! 🦊🤘
Yeah!
It's very likely Babymetal would not have been able to convince the metalheads in the audience without them really bringing it live, which includes the Kami band delivering the goods.
If it was just Su-metal standing their singing (no dancing and looking bored as you mentioned) with the Kami band it might not even have been enough.

The drummer, Hideki Aoyama, is possibly the best drummer I've heard in years. BOH is their bassist (the bald guy), and I'm not sure of the guitarists at this performance. I think one was Leda Cygnus, but I'm not positive. I'll leave that to others.
5) Many people in Rock and music in general have come out in support of them. The big one you're probably thinking of was Rob Zombie. They have opened, played with, made fans of, and/or befriended SEVERAL prominent names in Rock/Metal such as: Metallica, Rob Halford of Judas Priest, the aforementioned Rob Zombie, Corey Taylor from SlipKnot (whose new music video they make a cameo in), Red Hot Chili Peppers, Lady Gaga, and others I'm forgetting I'm sure.
5) Onto this video. Multiple people have gone through the situation the girls were in for the most part, so I'll just add a couple things I *THINK* got missed. Originally, BABYMETAL was supposed to perform on a secondary stage or in a tent for like 1,000 people. "Gimme Chocolate" came out in like February of 2014 and went viral, causing the show's promoters to bump them to the main stage to open the entire show on Saturday, which they found out about a month or two in advance of the change. Their vantage point from backstage sucked and they couldn't see anyone, so they thought no one was there. They were actually more worried about what to do if there wasn't anyone in front of them. Do they perform or no? To make matters worse (I can't recall if they knew), as someone else said, the UK metal fans are rowdy on good days, and a few made comments online about not just throwing bottles at them (something UK fans will do to anyone they think sucks), but they were threatening to throw bottles of piss at them.
The girls walk out to see a sea of 50K-60K people in front of them, a massive majority of whom hadn't heard of BABYMETAL. They had a bit of fight or flight response happen where they weren't sure if they could, but Su being the leader just kind of gave Yui and Moa a look or encouragement and they went right into their set. Five songs later and the crowd was eating out of the palm of their hand. The part you missed is the entire crowd chanting, if not almost begging, for more as they walked off stage. To see the giant grins on their faces at the end of the set is amazing because they knew they just did something huge.
Great reaction - and you've been told the history and significance of this performance already. Please add every BABYMETAL song on your bits of paper in your hat.
I wish you would've watched all the way through. As someone else here commented, they were bumped up on the roster to the surprise of a bunch of metal fans who had never heard of them. As they leave the stage the crowd chant "We want more!!"
Oh and as for the Kami band, trust me, the fans not only acknowledge them, but they also follow their other projects and know their history and gear.
I'm not adding anything to the hat until one of mine pops up. 🤣🤣Y'all have plenty to go through already.
Yea, wasnt sure if there was anything after where we cut sadly. We will def go back and check out the ending!
@@MichaelReactstoMusic In fact, Aldo Metal's profile picture is Aldo and Boh the bassist that you just complimented in the video
Just to add, at the end of the video, we can hear the audience chanting 'we want more'....this is from a metal audience used to harsh guttural vocals singing about digging up graves to feast on the fermented flesh :)
Yeah! The legendary one! Perfect choice! Great reaction! Keep up! 🤘🦊🤘
That little sigh you both did at the end of the song said it all. This performance is epic in a lot of ways, it's almost like the end of a great movie. Saw this many times now, and every time I'm still stunned about what happened there.
The other aspect of the choreography besides the entertainment value as you mentioned, is that if each song has its own choreo, fans can learn it and dance along at the show, which adds a lot of fun to the whole thing... it adds more connection points between the performers and the crowd, which is always a good thing.
Great reaction guys! I. D. Z is Top Tier.
You should check BABYMETAL's 2020 version of this song and of Road of Resistance new EPICS on their Legend Metal Galaxy performances. 🤘🤘🤘
All hail The Fox God
6:20 I agree with you. They are so good at what they do, so entertaining to watch. And yet you'll get a lot of people that would hate on them just because they are young girls singing and dancing to metal. They are incredible. They really deserve more credit and recognition for what they do, because they do an exceptional job every show. Great reaction! 🦊🖤
Great song , i suggested for you this song in different live , check BABYMETAL - Ijime,Dame,Zettai live legend 1997 , that's great too because with dark vibe . 🤘🦊
Unbelievable! 1st Festival outside of Asia for them and they played only 2 small concerts in Europe (France+Germany) before that. 🦊🤘
To bad you cut the video off early =(
Glad I didn't cut yours off #AwholeNewWorld 😂
Yeaaa... I told someone else, the fact that we put silly stuff at the end of our videos is proof that we should end videos early since we hope others watch till the end of our videos lol. We will not do that again for sure!
Su's flawless vocals, Yui and Moa dancing their hearts out and the band going crazy.... just another day for Babymetal. Great reaction boys.
Nice react man, pls try rect do BABYMETAL ROAD OF RESISTANCE!
Why do people hurt each other? Who do they hurt them for? More than ever, I do not wish to see you cry anymore. In a dream, the Fox God taught us "Never Give Up!" In a dream, the Fox God taught us "Wall of Death". If you show true courage, we will show true metal. No more Bullying, Forever!
So, many people have already dropped the info about this song, and the history of this performance, so I'll just leave a suggestion!
Rondo of Nightmare with Mischiefs of God intro live at Budokan Black Night!!!!!
This is a Su solo and one of their darker toned songs. Its about a girl running from an unknown IT in a recurring nightmare. She tries to hide but IT always finds her. Realizing that she cannot escape, she pleads for IT to show itself to her. Then, finally, she falls to the darkness! Soooo dark! So metal! Love it! And the intro showcases the insane god like skills of the appropriately named Kamiband (band of Gods), and will melt your face and blow your mind!
Kitsune up!\m/
road to resistance and rondo are both in our request hat. we draw requests from a hat 3 times a week!
@@MichaelReactstoMusic yay!
You cut the video short...missing the "emotional victory".
向かって左側の人はクールだなぁと見てたら最後の方でTシャツがなかなかの萌え豚で笑った。
NICE react thank you(๑>◡
I recommend Rondo of nightmare with mischiefs of god intro at budakon black night it shows off the band and there talent
added to our request list. We draw 3 requests a week!
Interesting fact: This song was made in response to wetserners discriminating against Babymetal, saying it was not Metal. "Ijime, Dame, Zettai" literally means "Absolutely no Bullying".
nah bro, it wasn't for that.
UK is Babymetal's second home.
_"Throwing, Dame, Zettai"_ that was the answer of MoaMetal in an interview talking about people from the audience throwing things at them and how risky it was all that, they even got a time when some fan manage to reach the stage but they convincely negates to stop the show under any circunstance, that was their promise _"never run out of the stage"._ And there's even more stuff happening on this debut performance, as you see YuiMetal tutu dress get hook with her bracelets, you can see the piece of red cloth flying around Yui; MoaMetal got issues with her receiver device and she even fell during the fight scene (that part was cut), but these girls very well trained still keeps on as we know, "the show must go on".
not watch the ending ?
> A lot of jumping in their choreo => because they were small. Also why you'd always see the 3 platforms at almost every stage they perform in (until they grew bigger).
see you…
Metal elitists are boring. I love metal. I prefer the non-growling/screaming metal, but I even enjoy some of that. If I was an elitist, I wouldn't get to enjoy 2 of my favorite bands: Babymetal and Ghost.
Excellent reaction👌 please react to Babymetal Death Legend 1997🤘🏻❤️
React rondo of nightmare with intro mischief of god live budokan, so you will see the 'band'
The girls might have been frightened by the big stage abroad for the first time, but for them the experienced backing band guys would have been a great reliable.
Me: Sees a new reaction video about BABYMETAL, automatically puts a LIKE
Ijame Dame Zettai roughly translates to ( No more bullying )
Love your reaction, but a lot of reactors talk about the band. They’re great for sure... the girls are heroic... high school girls.
Never asked yourself from where comes the collar who appears here and also in "Headbanger" or from when comes the scream "We Are Babymetal"?
Comes from here:
th-cam.com/video/Fh7XVBzAsgg/w-d-xo.html
From the theme "X" from X-Japan and of course the neck protector from Yoshiki
Nice guys... You should check out their live concert Babymetal - Road of Resistance live in Japan...
this and rondo of nightmare is in our request hat. we draw 3 requests a week.
I think Left Person started loving them almost as much as Right Person :D
OMG YOU STOPPED THE VIDEO TOO SOON!
to be fair, left person (me, cory) already knew this song and have liked them for a long time. Michael (on the right) was reacting/hearing this for the first time. And we apologize for stopping early. We will def make sure not to end videos short and will check out the end of the video off camera!
@@MichaelReactstoMusic TY. It's always nice to hear them say See Youuuuuu!
And Right Person is wonderful to see - he really seems to love BM :)
It was the addition of the Kami Band that made them legit and accepted by others and what brought them to this festival and others. Before they used a fake band in skeleton suits with a recorded track. The members here are Hideki on drums, BOH on bass, Leda on guitar (drum side) and Mikio Fujioka on guitar (who died Jan 2018.) His guitar sounds are heard often in live concerts (Whirls, High pitches, and Harmonics). Always smiling and having fun. You can see (7:12 here) when he almost forgot to cut the sound at the break and starts to laugh. Unfortunately as of last year they started putting the band to the back and gave them masks so they can use other musicians. No more kami solos either. More of a Pop production now. Guess we will see what future shows bring.
Thank you from Japan😊
It's funny that you talk about the musicians, some Baby Metal videos you have to see live. Like Headbanger, this video highlights the band. Now there is one that needs to be seen where every member of the Kami band gets a solo and they go off. That video is Catch Me if You Can- live black night legend doomsday. They also have the lyrics on screen in Japanese and English translation
This is a song is against bullying.
You should look up the lyrics
先週の土曜、東京メタルに乗って十段下で降りてぶどう館のLiveに参戦してきました♫東京ドーム以来のIDZは爆音炸裂でヤバかったぁぁ〜〜笑リアクション動画ありがとうd(-_^)good!!
Some advice about BABYMETAL reactions:
tl;dr: Don't use compilations for BABYMETAL, we have a better solution.
Please don't rely solely on videos that are on TH-cam (mainly compilations); they're not meant to be used for reactions as the mix of concerts and generally bad editing can make it confusing for those new to BABYMETAL. Also, you won't get the full BABYMETAL experience with these. Some people think they are safer for reactions, but they're not. They may get past the bot initially, but you still stand the chance of your video being blocked later and the possibility of having copyright strikes.
Some fans made a selection of "best" performances for each song; I would suggest using it for future BABYMETAL reactions. Here is the link : docs.google.com/document/d/1DqPsavocgGvCyZfUHvrkgJ5KZMaMkmMgjy2UxNNG96E/edit#
You should note though, that your video will almost definitely be blocked if these are included in your video and that you will need to do what we call "link & sync". It's very easy and made easier with the help of Reactor Hub, a tool made for helping avoid blocks etc. We made a short tutorial on how to use it : drive.google.com/open?id=1X6hN2BdyKzFmVN9XMEo2M89hsKY0B-bnnHRVVMNY13w
Using that you are safe from blocked videos and even future copyright strikes, since no copyright material is included in your video :).
There is even a discord for Reactor Hub if you need any help.
I'm hoping you will have fun with BABYMETAL in future reactions :).
Maindish is “See you !!”
🤘😙🤘😆🤘😇)))
noice guys the fox king be with us
please [ JUNNA ] Through The Fire And Flames / DragonForce - Drum Cover react
great reaction react to babymetal road of resistance please
Negative points for ending too soon! But great reaction
we apologize! as a channel who also hopes folks stay till the end (we put funny-ish out-takes at the end of every video) we def know better!!!
Great reaction!
Failed frontspace guy have been seen many times...poor (ToT)
Love the reaction! Could you react to X Japan? They are the biggest band in Japan from the 80s, Babymetal's creator Kobametal is a big fan of them and you can find many tributes to them in Babymetal like the neck brace for example. For first reaction I would recommend Kurenai from the Last Live. th-cam.com/video/8ArAnXLbFck/w-d-xo.html
