Baby Metal is Japanese from Japan. Electric Callboy is from Germany.
Baby Metal blends Jpop and hard metal.
Electric Callboy blends edm and metal core.
We need more Electric Callboy reactions for sure!
None of us really know why we love Babymetal. And that's why it's so mind-blowing 😂😂😂
Babymetal and Electric Callboy are both super fun.
More of them, please
BABYMETAL are amazing. They started off over 10 years ago as a cute gimmick with 3 teen Japanese girls doing metal music and they really turned it into something really special. Super clever, super talented, and super hard working. If you blend genres, you're gonna love em.
They weren't meant to be a gimmick tho😊
@@emperorchopchop7726 It’s true that early on (and even now) some gatekeepers insisted that BabyMetal was a gimmick. But I have no doubt that Kobayashi (Kobametal) did not think that, not at all. He was a big fan of Metal (rumor has it his earliest jobs as a kid were selling food at Metal Fests) and he wanted to shake Metal loose from what he thought was a serious, dull, rut. Adding Idol dancing and Kawaii did exactly that. He also sourced the very best musicians available to play behind the (then) girls. Then, he found songwriters to write extraordinarily great music to blend the two genres. Frankly, I think even his production company (Amuse) might have thought it a fluke at first - they offered minimal financial support at the beginning. Instead, what happened is that, from top to bottom, from Su’s voice and stage presence to the techs responsible for lighting and effects, he got the very best talent, and that talent committed itself to perfection. They get darn close, I think.
You should really watch more BabyMetal.
Watch live performances of Headbanger, Road of Resistance, and Monochrome to see the range of what they do. Watch the live performances because these young women can command a crowd.
They also have done a great collaboration with Being Me the Horizon called Kingslayer -- the live videos of that are awesome, too.
Papaya is amazing too
I second that
They’ve also blended metal and rap before as well I believe they are extremely talented.
No mention of BxMxC or Shanti Shanti Shanti, for some more genre blending ?
I'm going to need a mention of From dusk till dawn because Su's Falsetto is something angelic❤
Great collaboration between two great bands. Electric Callboy (dudes in disco ball helmets) are from Germany, they're great fun.
BABYMETAL (the three young ladies) are from Japan - and you have never seen or heard anything quite like them ... and if you like bending, mixing and blending genres they must become a big favourite for you.
BABYMETAL started in 2010 aged 12 and 11 as a fusion of Metal with JPop hooks, melodies and aesthetics ... they have been pushing boundaries and breaking through walls ever since.
In the 14 years since then they have gone on to be one of the very best live bands on the planet.
They have about 70 songs now, each one different to the last. They have songs in virtually every metal genre (thrash, djent, power, speed, black, death, folk, Prog etc), but they will mix and blend so many more musical styles with the metal (Jpop, ska, Bollywood, Middle Eastern Psy-trance, dub step, Latino, EDM, Finnish polka, rap, hip hop and more).
They are at their best live, but try one of their very first music videos to get you started -
'IINE' (that is iine, not Line and it is pronounce ee-neh. It means 'so good' like a thumbs up emoji).
With that song they were establishing very early on that they will not be stuck in one box or pigeonholed in one genre.
Alternatively how about their song featuring Thai rapper F Hero - 'PA PA YA'.
Nice one! You just opened the door to Babymetal, one of the most amazing live performance acts fusing J-Pop with Heavy Metal. They’re one of the most internationally popular Japanese bands today.
Electric Callboy is German, and mixed electronic and metal for a satirically fun time.
Lead vocalist for Babymetal is Su-metal, and she is an incredible singer, who’s been doing Babymetal for 14 years, and she’s only 26!
Check out their song BxMxC live to see her spit some fire in a heavy metal rap battle 🤘🦊
Electric Callboy are from Germany. Great party core. a mix of metalcore and Edm techno . (please check out their track "we got the moves". You will not regret
And Baby metal are from Japan
This track started because Babymetal wanted a track like "We Got the Moves"
That's 21 million views in just 4 months. These 2 bands need to do a lot more collaborations.
Megitsune, Karate, Papaya, and Doki Doki Morning are some of my favorite Babymetal songs that are definitely worth a look if you want more of them. They're absolutely worth checking out. They started when they were really young: The oldest girl was set to 'graduate' (age out) of a kid J-pop group, but there was a music producer who wanted to help her career, and had the idea of using a heavy metal band in conjunction with the cutesy J-pop singers. Babymetal absolutely popped off and has become a phenomenon ever since.
They also do a lot of collaborations/one-off songs with other bands, like Road to Resistance with Dragonforce, which is another incredible band that you 10000% need to check out on this channel. Some of the fastest shredding powermetal in the game.
Electric Callboy are a vibe as are Baby Metal. Do yourself a favor and go down the Electric Callboy rabbit hole.
We Got The Moves, Hypa Hypa, Pump It, Everytime We Touch, Tekkno Train
Electric Callboy is great. Definitely a fun rabbit hole to go down. Their videos are hilarious. Got to see them live for the first time last year. It's such an fun and energetic show.
I 100% agree that video deserves a billion views!
You need to watch "Hypa Hypa" and "We got the moves" and "Pump it" from Electric Callboy
I will watch every reaction on Electric Callboy
Babymetal formed in 2010, if you love the blending of genres and creativity you will love the groups listed below there is no real set genre with them, all Japanese (7 members 4 rappers and 3 singers, thought all can rap and sing, R&B, Hip Hop, Pop/dance/EDM all official songs are English) girl group XG, Babymetal (from Japan, who do an amazing blend of genres from rap, hip hop, dance … and blend it all with rock/metal), Electronic Callboy (from Germany) and Ginger (from Ukraine), these groups all have songs that are in English
Hallo 😄. This happens when Godzilla eats too much Sauerkraut !!! Greetings from Germany 🤗 alex
😂
The girls are Babymetal, and they are japanese. Their style is often called Kawai Metal. Electric Callboy are a german band, and their style is partycore. And they mix Metalcore, with dance, pop and edm. Yes, that dude can sing. He could easily sing R'N'B style. It doesn't have more views because it came out this year, it's not a classic. 😉 Not yet.
It will be eventually 😁🤘🏼🦊
@@martinmetal7481Definitely 🦊🪩🔥
And they put it on both of the bands channels- which I actually think was a cool idea
Electric Callboy is a German band that blurs genres, and they're amazing. Go down the rabbit hole my dude, you won't be disappointed.
Great reaction! Both of these bands are genre benders on their own. I don't know too much about Electric Callboy, but I think the mixture of Electronic Dance Music and Metal is their thing. BABYMETAL have been my favourite band for years now, they have been fusing all sorts of genres with Metal for 14 years now. So if you are into genre bending, you might find more gems among their music. For me personally, there's not a single bad song in their whole catalogue.
So far this is the only collaboration between both bands, though.
Tekkno train Tekkno train Tekkno train Tekkno train Tekkno train you’ll love the video
If you check out any more Babymetal, a) beware the copyright gods, b) watch BxMxC live with English subs from a recent performance (2023 or 2024)
I personally prefer the Budokan 2021 performance of BMC, the swagger is off the charts. The TH-cam channel 'For The Fox God' seems to get through the copyright blockers well enoughm
Never thought I would be 61 and loving Babymetal! LOL
Definitely check out more Electric Callboy. They blend metal, edm, techno, ect.
They are the guys and are German.
Welcome and thanks from Japan 有難う 💛。 "Musical diversity" is what BABYMETAL are relentlessly pursuing. I can't wait for your reacting to their song "BxMxC (Baby Metal Cypher)". Su-Metal, the lead singer of BM, spits bars in that song 😍
Just so you know, BABYMETAL is the best musical phenomenon I have ever experienced in my 69-year-long life as a Japanese.
Babymetal are the masters of genre blending.
Papaya from baby metal live is amazing
I love both bands and this song is one of the best songs of the last ten years.
Electric Callboy is super fun and creative and BABYMETAL is just plain epic.
Kitsune dao!
You should check out more Eletric Callboy like HYPA HYPA, PUMP IT, We Got the Moves, Every time we touch Ask BP he will tell you
Electric Callboy is from Germany and Babymetal is from Japan. They are both masters of blending genres and this collaboration just makes all the sense in the world. Although this song just came out this year, it's an instant classic. Electric Callboy's best and most ridiculous song/video is called We Got The Moves.
Want to be blown away by Babymetal? Listen to BxMxC where she's spitting bars in japenese and even not understanding the language im sure youll get the techniques she uses to rap
👍👍Awesome collaboration and performance. Welcome to the foxhole.Su's shot in the famous John Travolta’s 'Saturday Night Fever' pose was cool. Great reaction. 🦊 🖖❤
Babymetal - Monochrome (PIA Arena 2023 Live) Eng Subs
BABYMETAL - BxMxC【Live Blu-ray/DVD「BABYMETAL WORLD TOUR 2023 - 2024 LEGEND - MM」】
I can totally see Kriss do a feature on Electric Callboy
Krizz, as a performer you need to check out babymetal live. Even if you hate the music (which clearly you don't) the sheer cardio and choreography those cute little chicks have is through the damn roof. Those girls go so hard for so damn long, it almost doesn't even look real. Most performers would just drop
cant wait to see him go down this rabbit hole....
and the fox hole....
Try Babymetal, you won't be disappointed. I love metal, but I never knew I needed choreography and pop lyrics over the top, they are the freshest thing I've heard in 20+ years. Always watch them live, live Babymetal is the best Babymetal 😎
Originally a sub-unit of the larger JPop group, Sakura Gakuin, Babymetal was an experiment in blending JPop hooks, vocals and idol elements with heavy metal. It was not intended to last beyond a few years until lead singer Suzuka Nakamoto graduated out of SG at the age of 15. Their parent agency (AMuse) wouldn't even provide additional funding for producer Kei Kobayashi's metal project. But due to Babymetal's increasing popularity, when Su graduated, Babymetal split off from SG and became it's own group in 2013 and became a international wonder in 2014 due to their song "Gimme Chocolate" going viral. 10 years later and a slight change in the lineup, Babymetal is still going strong.
Kitsune Da-O! 🤘🦊🤘
Saw babymetal in concert in Seattle last year. Love them. Have a dvd collection of they're concerts. BxMxC is my favorite song. Sue then singer raos.
* raps
BABYMETAL - Road of Resistance - Live in Japan (OFFICIAL): might be the best live performance ever uploaded to youtube.
BABYMETAL - Headbanger Live @ Legend 1997 Apocalypse: awesome live performance and arguably the best song in their discography.
I love that BP showed you these two bands and if you want a good laugh combined with great music there are a few Electric Callboy has that you would enjoy and Babymetal are just simply amazing 😍❤
24 million views in just a few months. It was the summer song at the Metal festivals, they both played at most of them and did the song together on stage. Festivals got it 2x, once when EC did their set and then later when BM did their set, the crowd was so lit up when this song came up.
Welcome to Babymetal. Su, the female lead singer, is for sure one of the most proficient and technically adept singers you'll ever hear, and when you see them live, you KNOW she's singing live, no matter how much she dances.
Baby metal is definitely a "must see" live at least once. I saw then in Bangkok, they are super professional. And EC is always a fun time. 🎉🎉🎉
This is all my favorite dam artists coming together. From electric callboy and babymetal collaborating and now krizz kaliko reviewing it. 2 years ago I would've made up this scenario as a dream match scenario
You definitely need to do more reactions to electric callboy and Babymetal. I guarantee you would love all of it
My goodness I love watching people 1st time reaction to EC and or BM, this collab is 2x the fun
Great reaction! You´ll have a lot of fun with reactions to songs from both bands, Electric Callboy from Germany and BABYMETAL from Japan. I don´t go with the old joke here, but this collaboration was phenomenal, and so much fun! Electric Callboy are great fun🤣 If you want to react to BABYMETAL, do live as much as possible! You won´t regret it. BABYMETAL live is a really wild ride, every single time, and with every single song! (except for "Up Down Left Right BBAB", the only song BABYMETAL never performed live)
Both groups are masters of genre blending. Electric Callboy perfected party-core, BABYMETAL invented kawaii-metal. They are absolute units... and when they meet, this is what happens. You are either smiling ear to ear or picking your jaw up from the floor.
What you're going to love is that both bands have done collaborations with rappers: Electric Callboy with the German rapper Finch on "Spaceman", and Babymetal with the Thai rapper F. Hero on "Pa Pa Ya". Both awesome songs that you need to check out.
Babymetal are so good they even got there own music genre 😂
Electric Callboy are German and Baby Metal are Japanese.
It only has 21M views because it only came out a few months ago. Electric Callboy is a wild ride!
Welcome to the Foxhole....I saw this once and blam, now addicted to Babymetal and EC individually as well as this one lol
This is a fun way to get into both BABYMETAL and Electric Callboy. You have a big catalog of both to explore moving forward!
BABYMETAL are Japanese, Electric Callboy are German.
The EDM part of this sound comes from Electric Callboy, BABYMETAL are all about that J-Pop metal mix.
OH and also - both are PHENOMENAL live - two of the best live artists I've ever seen.
At 78, these 2 bands still blow me away. I've been listening to rock since the 50s. I started with the black Memphis radio station in the early 50s that a much older cousin surreptitiously listened to in her father's car. She swore me to secrecy first.
Lots of older folks think todays music has nothing to offer but snippets of pre 90s music, single overhyped performers and chorus lines. Nobody seems to play instruments or write their own music any more.
These 2 put that stereotype to rest. Best I've seen in decades. I hadn't watched BM as adults before and their maturity shows here. These were their first acting roles with no singing and dancing. They jumped at the chance. And Momo got a chance to use her shouting vocals with Kevin.
Incidentally, Moa and Momo are called cheerleaders, which translates to "dance and scream".
i love the fact that in the whole first minute of the song your expression completly freeze because your brain cant process what the hell is happening
If you're wanting to go down the BABYMETAL rabbit hole, look for their live at the Tokyo Dome in 2016. They sold out back to back nights and had 2 completely different sets, it was INSANE!
Tokyo Dome isn't a great idea for reactions though, because Babymetal wants to keep selling the Blu-ray of it, so they are a bit more strict on the copyright
Saw Electric Callboy back in May at Sonic Temple just days before they released this song. Unfortunately I did not get to experience this song live as they decided to debut it in Japan at Fox Fest a week later which was put on by Babymetal. You can watch the live debut on Babymetal's channel as well. This song was also the song that got me into Babymetal. Had known the name for years but never listened to them. Since then, Babymetal have quickly became a favorite of mine and will be driving 4 hours to see them when they tour the US next month.
Surprised that Grington kept his comment as short as he did (Usually he writes a whole page about Babymetal), to fill that though I'll offer some info, which has likely already been given in other comments. Babymetal started out in 2010 when they were only 11 and 12 years old. Su-Metal is the oldest of the group and the lead singer, she was born on December 20th, 1997. Moametal is next with the current lineup, she was born July 4th, 1999 and her official role is scream and dance (though scream is not to be taken literally, more akin to backup singing). Last is Momometal, who is the newest member of the group, she officially joined last April however, she has been a part of the group since 2019. She was born March 3, 2003. Her official role is also scream and dance, though compared to Moa, you can take scream quite literally (She did the second Are You Ready in the breakdown and the two "Everybody") They only have one former member, Yuimetal, who left the band back in 2018 after not performing for a year due to undisclosed health issues. She was born June 20th, 1999. Her role was also Scream and Dance like Moa.
They mix and match many different genres into their songs, so no one song will sound the same as another of theirs. Many of the One (as the collective of the fans are known as) can actually name many songs purely based on the first 10 seconds of the instrumentals, even including the live performances. They created their own genre called Kawaii Metal, meaning Cute Metal, which is a mixture of J-pop and Metal
Electric Callboy have also been around since 2010, however, they did not start to really get popular outside of Germany until around 2020 when they announced a new clean vocalist, Nico Sallach. Since Nico's joining they have put out hit after hit and have blown up in popularity. Their harsh vocalist, Kevin Ratajczak, has been with the band since they started. Similar to Babymetal they sort of pioneered their own genre called Partycore, which mixes Metalcore, EDM and Techno, They do not take themselves serious, any of their videos, you can't help but to just simply smile and have a grand time with. However, they do take the music serious.
Suggestions;
Babymetal: Road of Resistance Live in Japan or Headbanger Live Legend 1997 (abr metal has a good version)
Electric Callboy: Hypa Hypa or We Got the Moves
I think the original meaning of scream in Babymetal might have been: yell, as in leading the crowd.
Electric Callboy has made music fun for this classically trained metalhead drummer 🤘🏻💥🔥🙏🏻💯
Well worth the deep dive into them. Definitely not classic, yet!!
This was the song was 2024 song of summer.
You and Black Pegasus need to react to some more Babymetal. Especially their live shows, they’ll blow your mind
Found you through BP and so glad to see you reacting to Babymetal. Welcome to the Fox Hole. I'm a Babymetal fan, but both bands are great and there is so much more to explore - especially since the ladies have been doing this since they were little girls. I hope to see you do more reactions to both bands - they're all about spreading the joy and building community. Welcome and have fun with it! ❤🖤❤
Babymetal is Japan's #1 International Group with a #1 Album in the USA - "Metal Galaxy" (Oct. 23, 2019 Billboards "Top Rock Album" chart)!!
Electric Callboy (formerly Eskimo Callboy) is a German Electronicore Band!!
This was THE COLAB of the Summer of 2024!!
This Song brought both groups their First #1 Single in the USA (Billboards "Digital Download Sales" chart)!!
Dude, you have to check out more Babymetal for sure!! And Electric Callboy too!!
More Babymetal Always!!!
Put your Kitsune UP!!
A great first reaction to both these amazing bands👊🏽⚡️🤘🏾🦊
Babymetal is one of the most influential groups in metal. It can be argued they brought fun to metal. Since Babymetal's debut, metal has become much more female friendly and there is more fun in metal now, there is Pirate Metal, Party Metal, and even Dwarf Metal. Don't know if these silly fun bands would exist without Babymetal bringing in the fun.
I'm a big Babymetal fan, but Alestorm (Pirate Metal) exited since before Babymetal., Electric Callboy (with their previous name) started in the same year as Babymetal and silly bands like Gwar exited before Babymetal as well.
Maybe the best innovation Babymetal did is have energetic live performances.
Love watching first time reactions to both of them. You killed it Krizz! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 reaction!
Big Krizz! Been rocking with you for 20+ years! Keep doing what you're doing and stay blessed my brother!
BABYMETAL is what happened when Japanese idol culture got crossbred with heavy metal in an experiment gone unexpectedly right. Cosmetically, the concept shouldn't work. There's just no obvious similarity or meeting point between the two cultures. However, much like when it merged with various other genres from hip hop to classical and even to folk, the spirit of metal finds a way.
Since exploding onto the scene, BABYMETAL has achieved international success, doing live shows with everyone from Rob Halford of Judas Priest, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Dragonforce, and even Skrillex. They've had a lot of official collaborations with well-known musicians too, including Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, Sam Totman and Herman Li of Dragonforce, and Bring Me The Horizon.
Note: East Asian idol culture is a whole thing in itself. Not "idolatry" in a biblical context, though I suppose it could qualify in some cases. Rather, it's more akin to what we know as pop stars and boy bands here in the West, with their intensely loyal cult followings. Being an idol, as a broad term, is basically just being a multi-talented creative. Usually, they're involved in sing & dance but it's gotten to be a looser term with the rise of the internet and Vtubers, which are also conceptually grounded in this culture. Historically, idols held a "pure" or "innocent" public image, and their careers could be tarnished or even completely ruined by revealing anything about them that shattered the illusion. Could be something as simple as harsh words behind the scenes, smoking a cigarette, or getting a boyfriend.
Things have been gradually changing, but there are still some holdouts. I'm sure you're aware of how some mainstream celebrities, especially musicians, are frequently cheated out of their earnings and worked like slaves with their public image being held at risk. This is unfortunately an all too common occurrence in idol culture too. Of course, like in any field, there's a range of this sort executive control/exploitation. A lot of companies seem to find a good balance with their employees.
Sorry for lengthy explanation. I just felt it was worth giving some context as to what kind of environment BABYMETAL stemmed from.
It seems like you really appreciate live performance skills, you will probably be shocked by BabyMetal live performances. They have a some great live versions online and they all blew me away with the crowd control and stage presence...plus the songs are great. lol.
Babymetal is Rapper! Check our their "Iine", and "Mikorophone check"!
🎙 th-cam.com/video/qVdBBOpSoN4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=1YDiSG6pfumm4JyO
Die Antwoord are fans of Babymetal since the early days, so dear Santa please!🎅🦌
I know you, me too I forget to breathe and continued watching for 30 mins!
I'm so glad you did this lmaooo. When I suggested Electric Callboy, I thought it was a long shot.
Please do Hypa Hypa and We Got The Moves next.
I hope you react to more of both of these groups. They are both awesome! Thank you for the video and reaction!
Babymetal collabed with Lil Uzi Vert on a song called The End off his latest album. Check out Babymetal - Catch Me if You Can.
Welcome to the world of Babymetal. Su-metal is the lead singer with Momometal and Moametal as the backup singers and dancers are all from Japan. They are one of the largest metal groups in the world. I would checkout Babymetal song BxMxC where Su-metal raps.
My favorite reaction ever! Love this guy. 😊
At 70, I've got a few miles behind me and I can say that after more than half a century of music, BABYMETAL is by far the best I've ever known. It's a whole planet to discover 🦊🤘
Yes, you should go to the official BABYMETAL channel and experience the history for yourself. There is a treasure trove of music you have never seen before My brothe🤟🦊🤟
saw ya on mrlboyds music reaction channel, much love, keep up the great love of different genres.
Great reaction. One of the great pleasures of watching first reactions to Electric Callboy is the jump scare. And you didn’t disappoint. 😂❤
Both bands mix metal with other genres. And both have catchy and heavy songs individually as well.
Their concerts are crazy. But Electric Callboy are a goofier than Babymetal. And they wear the costumes from their videos when performing live. While Babymetal have the better dance moves. 😁
But man this collaboration is just crazy catchy. 🥰🦊🪩🔥
The boys are from Germany, but usually sing in English. But they also have some (partly) German songs. And Babymetal usually sing Japanese. (So no K-Pop, but J-Pop 😉)
Their songs are much fun and you should check out more. Definitely worth it. ❤
Babymetal are from Japan (the girl group) Electric Cowboy are from Germany
If you like blending genres then you'll love Babymetal! They blend everything from Jpop to Heavy Metal to Rap to Reggae to Dubstep to Bollywood.
I recommend Papaya, Monochrome & BxMxC.
Krizz you gotta dive into some more Electric Callboy they are amazing and there music is so fun, highly recommend we got the moves
Where Music? Oh, There Music... Whose Music? Ah, Their Music!
Thanks for the hang! Love your vibe
EC are German and Babymetal are Japanese
I haven’t read the other comments yet, so some of this may be repeated.
Baby Metal was put together in Japan, kind of like One Direction was. It was sort of to go against the grain. The three females are Baby Metal. There is a band that I think is part of the group but they do not come to the front. As far as I know, that band was not in this video. Baby Metal performs what I think is referred to as Kawaii Metal, or Cute Metal. Their voices are used over top of the heavier music as a contrast. They are not originally English speakers but they have worked on that in recent years.
Electric Callboy is a German band. They used to go by the name Eskimo Callboy, They formed more than a decade ago, but a major shift occurred in 2020, I think, when their former lead singer left for a different project. Niko came into the group and is primarily responsible for the clean vocals. Kevin, who also does keyboard, is primarily responsible for the harsh vocals, but they can switch. The band also includes Daniel H, Pascal, Daniel K, and David. They play Electronikore, though I’ve also heard their version or style referred to as Partycore.
In this video all members of Electric Callboy wore Disco Ball helmets.
Electric Callboy mixes, EDM, Dubstep, Metal, and often poppy hook, but in the cases I’ve seen they usually interweave them very well.
Both Electric Callboy and Baby Metal are well-known for their live performances.
There is actually a live performance of the two groups together on TH-cam from FoxFest 2024 in Japan.
This song was released in May of 2024.
Welcome to two new amazing Rabbitholes to dive in.
This is the reason, a few weeks ago i said i am totally here for your metal reactions! Can not fucking wait to see you dig deeper Krizz!
For EC -- check out "Hypa Hypa", "We Got the Moves", and "Pump It"... for BabyMetal check out "Headbanger" and "GImme Chocolate" as starters
Babymetal and Electric Callboy are legitimately my two favorite current bands, and I'm 45. I'll throw you a sub in the hopes you hit more of them, they're both mind blowingly talented, doing new things that work
I have been a Babymetal fan for years (the Japanese Girls in this song). There J-Pop/Metal live shows are off the charts. Check out Headbanger (Legend of 1997 show), Road of Resistance, and Metal Kingdom. I discovered the German band Electric Callboy about 2 months before the release of this song, and I never fell in love with a band so quick. Their EDM/metal fusion and there amusing music videos really hooked me. Check out Tecno Train and We Got The Moves from them.
Electric Callboy are the most entertaining band in the world right now, Germans have not put out a bad song in last 3 years and live shows just a massive mix of EDM, metal riffs, rave beats, and pop!! 😆🤘
This was the summerhit/collab of the year for me, such a fun song and a true collab as well, where both acts worked together to create this goodness.
Usually in most collabs it's one artist/act who provides the song and the other add their lines to that, not in this case, they've created it together.
You'll love both these bands i'm sure, Babymetal is incredibly well crafted metal with a Jpop/idol sauce sprinkled over it, while Electric Callboy is taking techno and metal to the next level, while adding a ton of humor on top of all that, this collab should never have worked this well but man.. it is perfection to me ;) (it reached #1 in the US Metal charts, first #1 hit for both i believe)
If you like "blended" music then you'll LOVE Babymetal (LIVE whenever possible) - great reaction to a group that's been killing it for 14 years with live shows (they really are quite astonishing) now. The girls are Japanese and have been in this group (mostly) since roughly the ages of 11 & 13. Oh - some of the growling/screams are also done by the girls. MORE please !! Oh - EC are bloody amazing - but I am here for BM tbh :)
If you like genre blending, you'll love both of these bands. They've perfected it, and in two distinct and awesome ways. "What?" is typical reaction for those BabyMetal and Electric Callboy. Both very rewarding rabbit holes. Hope you dive in. 🤘🦊🤘 Welcome to the fox hole.
For Electric Callboy check out HYPA HYPA, for Babymetal I think you'd like Pa Pa Ya, it features one of Thailand's top rappers F.HERO.
Such a good collaboration! Babymetal are Japanese and Electric Callboy are German.😊
Welcome to the EC wormhole. Definitely check out We Got the Moves, Tekkno Train and Parasite
I have never seen two dudes walk away at the end of a video and look that cool before.
An epic collab to be sure, and an incredible song; it sounds like it could be in a Disney animated musical. And the "ooha- ooha" part brings to mind the anniversary party in Fix-it Felix's apartment in the movie "Wreck-it Ralph" ("Fix-it Felix, ooha-ooha"). 😁
BABYMETAL - from Japan - has an extensive history (and lore) which I won’t get into but a quick synopsis: they’ve been around since 2010, and started when their lead singer - known as Su-metal (Suzuka Nakamoto) - was about twelve, and the two "cheerleaders" (officially "scream and dance" (backing vocals)) - Moametal (Moa Kikuchi) and Yuimetal (Yui Mizuno) - were both around eleven. Unfortunately, Yui left the group in 2018 because of health concerns, and early in 2023 Momoko Okazaki (Momometal) was named a member of the group. They do not play instruments but are backed by the Kami Band - session musicians who are among the best that Japan (and the U.S.) has to offer.
BABYMETAL started a brand new genre of music ("kawaii metal" - cute metal), and they cannot be pigeon-holed - they are almost always thinking and moving outside box; they made listening to metal FUN! They have, to date, four studio albums with over fifty songs, and have been on a number of world tours. It is common knowledge among their devoted fans (known as "The One") that BABYMETAL is best served live, but they do have several music videos that are real works of art.
I suggest you go back to the beginning, and react to their first two music videos, "Doki Doki Morning" and "Iine!" (pronounced "E-nay"), both released in 2012. You’ll notice those are the first two on this list of recommended songs (with links to suggested versions). The first sixteen are from what I've come to call "The Golden Age of BABYMETAL" (better known as "The Yui Era"). This list also includes all four songs of the BABYMETAL sub-group Black BABYMETAL (just Yui and Moa while Su is taking a break):

You can use my TH-cam playlist “BABYMETAL Top Twenty” ( th-cam.com/play/PLdhz2aj0pt4zPl0BZLevPUR9uHKQA27uj.html ) as a quick link to all of these videos; it is a mix of MV’s and live performances, is more or less in historical sequence, and could be considered a road map down the BABYMETAL foxhole. If nothing else, it can be used as a reference to find high quality versions of BABYMETAL songs without mucking about - if they are on the list. Anyway . . . .
Another recommendation (read "challenge"): react to an entire BABYMETAL concert. I suggest:
"Legend 1997 Apocalypse" th-cam.com/play/PLdBAj9hZ91wCao72oSqTMLrGpIDOqzR2Q.html
and/or
"Budokan Black Night" (2014) th-cam.com/play/PLdBAj9hZ91wBwsBfjsKH9zWxA5YOOUkSI.html
Both concerts are, in a word, incredible.
A technical suggestion, if I may: when you pause, go back about five or ten seconds before resuming, that way you regain the flow of the song. You may or may not know that if you tap your keyboard space bar once it will pause the video, another tap will resume play. Also, if you tap the left arrow key once, it will rewind the video five seconds (a second tap for another five seconds), and tapping the right arrow key will advance the video five seconds. This may also help baffle the YT copyright police. Also, you shouldn't have to pause the video any more than three times. Just sayin'.
Enjoy your trip down the foxhole! (You're in for a wild ride!!!)
Keep rockin' BABYMETAL!!! (Sorry about the wall!)
KITSUNE UP!!! 🤘🦊🤘
Brah! The story behind these 2 bands is a music history lesson in of itself. This song is pretty much a collision of 2 fandoms in metal.
Lets start with Baby Metal. They are referred to as Kawaii Metal ( Kawaii being the Japanese word for cute). They are the brainchild of a Japanese music exec that was a closet metal head. So he took 3 girls who were aging out of an Idol group (its a whole thing in Japan, think our version of Pop) Backed them with amazing metal musicians, and a whole new genre was born. They are not afraid to experiment. When they were attacked on social media for not being metal enough (stupid thing that real metalheads find annoying within the scene)legends Rob Zombie and Metallica came to their defense. To get a real good feel for them Check out the songs Headbanger, Gimmie Chocolate, and Mitsigune. Their songs are in Japanese(who has an amazing rock scene BTW. Check out Band-Maid. Not a joke)But the lyrics have been translated.
Next is Electric Callboy. They have been a band for a couple decades concentrating primarily in the metalcore scene. Their popularity exploded during the pandemic when the video for their song Hypa Hypa went viral. They blend Metalcore and EDM, dont take themselves seriously at all. Most of their hits come from their most recent album Tekkno.
Both Bands are rabbit holes that all music lovers should go down.
