- Maybe at one point of my musical journey, I would of been considered an Elitist. I just liked what I liked. But as I've gotten older I've realized there's a lot of great music out there, and I want to find it! Thank You for bearing with me on the beginning stages of this channel. Feel free to request any song.

• LADYBABY "ニッポン饅頭 / Nip... - เพลง
I'm glad to say the two girls in this video, Rei Kuromiya and Rie Kaneko recently got back together as ReiRie. Rei Kuromiya is also in Punk band Brats with her sister Aya. The guy in the video is a bit of a legend, Richard Magarey, he's a cross dressing pro wrester from Australia. Really great guy
dude thats amazing!
Thanks for reminding me of ReiRie, I really need to check them out since I love the album 'Beside U' 😋👍
@@react-o-mat Let's say they are 'different' Lol!
The guy("Ladybeard") was also later in a duo(Deadlift Lolita) with a female Japanese bodybuilder/wrestler.
Ladybaby was a phenomenon years ago, but i stumbled upon a newer ReiRie video just before this reaction, and my honest opinion is: They seem to ride an already tired horse to death now ...
Right!? Isn't it awesome!!!
I love this song! You can't be in a bad mood listening to it.
Great Reaction! ❤
It instantly hyped me up! Loveeeeed it
Todos los que hemos visto esta canción en la primera oportunidad tuvimos la misma reacción! 😂
(sorry long comment)
Ladybaby got started by the CEO of a clothing company, he saw Ladybeard, who is/was an Australian wrestler and metal singer who started by doing voice acting and stunt work in Hong Kong because he could get his first entertainment job in Australia. He already did martial arts and some casual cross dressing at parties/concerts for fun. When the 2008 financial crisis happened he had to figure out a new career, so he became a wrestler in Hong Kong. The cross dressing was his wrestler gimmick. From voice acting he learned how to do growls and thus he added metal singer, he was doing metal covers of pop songs (in Cantonese). Eventually he figured they might like this in Japan and he went there to expend his career/audience so he did the same in Japanese doing metal covers of J-Pop hits. Images of his went viral on social media and he was on the cover of a metal. He got noticed by the CEO of a clothing company and said: I want to work with this guy. A week later he came up with this, based on Babymetal being popular. They had a viral success. They also performed abroad at anime/Japan conventions as well.. Some rumors claimed they were going to perform at the Olympics (Babymetal also was suggested by many, but the Olympics was actually a big failure when it came to this, lots of drama/sad stories I won't bore you with right now).
After less than 2 years Ladybeard later was forced to leave Ladybaby. It's unclear what really happened, Japanese companies don't talk and he doesn't talk. Ladybaby continued for a while in different forms and eventually failed. Ladybeard was barred from the Japanese music industry to re-use the same concept for 5 years, he also tried different things in the meantime. In feb. 2020 he was supposed to launch Babybeard the same as the original concept, with 2 new young ladies. He's not been able to get the same viral success again. But they are doing conventions abroad again. The 2 young ladies for the original Ladybaby are also working together again on a project after having done a bunch of different things over the years. So it seems both parts of Ladybeard drift back to their original success.
The other alt-idol/metal (less kawaii metal) group which might be best known in the west has an American producer and went abroad on proper tours which is: Necronomidol, this group lasted from 2014-2022.
So yeah, Babymetal is still on top and they have this year already performed many times and their schedule is now up to 91 gigs and they don't seem to be done with adding more. Now they are 3 again and all out of school/uni (and for example also old enough to perform late at night, which wasn't allowed in their early days because of child work protection laws), they are doing their biggest world tour yet. Going to places they've never performed before and catching up with things that were planned for 2020.
Dude I love learning about the artists! Thanks fam
I'll add that Ladybeard tried to do Deadlift Lolita which is a duo with a female japanese pro wrestler.
@@ZeSheshamHahu By the way, Richard Magarey is also in a new project, called @BABYBEARD_official
Great reaction. Another great song and I truly effing love the lyrics too is Renge Chance by LadyBaby
completely agree! Loved it!❤
He was like... Yes! let's do itoa!
I love this dude so much.
It's quite a bit funnier with the subtitles on, it's basically advertising Japan as a tourist destination.
So, I didn't realize till later but THe subtitles were cut off. I saw them when I was reacting and thats what was making me laugh so much! I loved it
@@TheWolffAndTheMelody I had wondered if the subtitles just didn't show in the final video, good to hear you saw them :)
He was also a Australian pro wrestler.
So many people watch this and get lost in the visual spectacle of the video, and forget to listen to the amazing music.
It really is great, ive listened to it a bit and love it
Great reaction! Japan Alt idols band comes on differents genres, Passcode "tacking you out" is must!
I'll check it out!
Makes me miss tokyo
I cant wait to go one day!
After Babymetal ripped up the metalmusical standards alot of great stuff like this started to emerge and we are still in the early stage of a musical paradigm shift that willl have the world dominated by japanese girls...
Babymetal wasn't the first to do it, they were just the first with the backing of an idol company
bro was unpreppared for this
We have no idea if you'll still pay attention to a comment on a year-old video, but we'll give it a try. The cute black-haired girl, Rei Kuromiya, has the band BRATS with her sister Aya. The last song they released is called Spiderweb and is an experimental masterpiece. Rei is already an adult at Spiderweb (here she's about 15 years old) and her voice has developed really well. We would love if you could make a reaction video to the Spiderweb music video.
I will look it up! Thanks for being here friend!
@@TheWolffAndTheMelody Thank you. We're excited to hear what you think of the song.
YOU NEVER PAUSE🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
dude hahaha this song that broke me hahahah
TWIN! This one is so flippin good! I love their ramen vid too! It’s such great feel good tunes and choreography!
Its soooo fun
Haha ... Lady Baby is surely something else. ^^ Not really my favorite, but definitely worth listening too... Especially if you've seen them... be it live or through videos.
I was not prepared, but I loved it!
As much as I love Babymetal, I can listen to this all day. When I am in a funk, I bring in the Ladybaby!
They are so good.
Good reaction, this song and video was so funny
I Can't wait to take you down this rabbit hole. Love you man
Im ready for it
Cited as the first group to follow in the style of the ground breaking Kawaii Metal group Babymetal, Ladybaby Exploded onto the scene in 2015 with this video and garnered over 1 million views across all platforms in less than 24hrs!!
After producing several songs and videos, in 2016 Ladybeard was fired from the group after a disagreement with the owner of the company that was producing the group. Rei and Rie continued on for another year as "The Idol Formerly Known as Ladybaby" before Rei left the group to rejoin her sister in their group, Bratz.
Rie reformed the group in 2018 with 3 new members and this iteration of the group was arguably the most successful with several charting singles and a much wider touring schedule. This third start was also my favorite, (nothing against Ladybeard) but I really enjoyed the addition of Emily as the growler!!
Ladybaby officially suspended activities after their final concert on January 13, 2020.
In 2022 it was announced that Ladybaby would reform, but what actually happened was Rei and Rie came back together to make the new group ReiRie. Unfortunately after releasing their debut song in March (a very pop oriented song) but not much else has been heard from them.
Ladybeard went on to create several other groups, including 'Dead Lift Lolita' with their popular song "Pump Up Japan" and his current group, 'Babybeard', that follows very closely to the original Ladybaby formula with Ladybeard at the center and 2 cute Idol girls in dresses on either side.
Rei and Rie have their new project ReiRie and Emily from the last Ladybaby lineup joined 'Passcode' as their new growler after Yuna left the group.
They were a fun group to watch for almost 7 years before they disbanded and I miss checking in to see what they would do next!!
Also check out these other Ladybaby songs:

There are many others but this is just a short list of some of my favorites!!
Thanks for checking out Ladybaby!!
(p.s. Ladybaby does not get a lot of views..mostly because when the haters could not get the "Gimmick" label to stick to Babymetal, they went all in on Ladybaby..so, yeah.)
Thank you for the history of em! I really enjoyed watching some of their stuff. Thank you also for the recommendations as well!
Your comments were lost, but I got your notification: 'Richard did an interview about 2 years ago and did say that he was Fired from Ladybaby as he had "creative differences" with the owner'. I'll just say he said in a podcast a year later: "unceremoniously removed". This doesn't _just_ sound like creative differences. And the other common one you hear is: "visa issue". If we hear multiple reasons this suggests maybe he just doesn't want to talk about it.
@@autohmae Yep, but when he said "I was Fired" in that interview...was the first time I actually herd it said by Richard himself. The "Visa Issue" first showed up on Wikipedia but I'll bet it was taken from a reddit comment somewhere.
@@watcher2554 the visa thing has been floating around a long time, I don't know it's real origin, I think the claim that came with it was it came from his Twitter, but I've never seen it or could just remember it wrong, it was years ago after all (but at least seen one such comment recently too, without mentioning the origin)
I don't want to get involved in other people's drama. They worked together now they don't.
Amazing as always
much love dude
@@TheWolffAndTheMelody all love my friend, keep being amazing, I am grateful to have met you on tiktok my souls borne loving friend
I remember this song, great reaction!
dude its wild!
@@TheWolffAndTheMelody yea it is
🤘🦄🤘
Well if you are going to go down the J-Metal scene I have a small list of suggestions for you.
Hanabie- pardon me, I have to go now, Broken by the Scream- sayonara birthday, Mary's Blood- marionette, Dazzle Vision- Second, Fate gear- Headless Goddess. NEMOPHILA- DISSENSION, LOVEBITES- When Destinies Align, and pretty much any song by BAND-MAID.
Japan is huge on all female Metal every one of those groups above (Except Dazzle Vision who only has a female vocalist) is an all female band.
wait till you see my next few reactions!
You shoud listen to Haten Ni Raimei also from LadyBaby but with a different lineup. I love that song !
Sounds awesome! I need to hear more from them anyway!
wild^^
Don't sleep on Japanese metal. It's WILD. They're doing stuff nobody should even attempt. You should totally react to Jiluka's Venom or Overkill. Also, the OG Visual Kei band, Dir En Grey.
Oh I love Hanabie and Nemophila
This song deserves to be laughed at, but it's in a good way. It's a good and fun song. There really isn't a lot to say, because I just can't come up with the words at this time. Nice reaction.
its soooo fun! Lets go to Japan dude!
@@TheWolffAndTheMelody I wish I could, but in that regard, life has a way of sucking.
@@mmcpa Damn, you can always message if ya need to vent dude
For something a little different... try some Pirate metal ....Alestorm "F###ed with an Anchor👍🍺
😂😂😂🥰
Oh god. I smiled before he even began, thinking "this is going to be hillarious" Whoever recommended this, you are a bit of a d*ck, but I love you for it.
Here is a serious suggestion though: NINGEN ISU / Heartless Scat
Dude....I fking love Heartless Scat!!!! I'm glad you enjoyed the video dude. This was such a good time, and the older I get the more I want to smile and laugh lol
To think that this is song is just to promote Japanese Tourism and what Japan has to offer lol.
Thats why I love it! I need to go to Japan!
i kinda like the this band but i LOATHE the name. ladybaby lol wtf
Really? Lady Baby? They are only joke, publicity stunt. Not serious, real music.
they can have fun
