Welcome back.🦊This was the song we got on the international release of Metal Resistance where the Japanese release had 'Syncopation' instead. They had only ever played FDTD live once, at the Hollywood Palladium in 2017, but there was some sort of copyright issue with the pro-shot video so that has never been seen, there are only fancam videos for that performance. When BABYMETAL were holding a ballot for the top 10 songs for their Top 10 album for the 10th anniversary in 2020 a fan campaign got FDTD voted in. It was not on the album in the end, but they did at least play it live at two of the 10 Budokan concerts and we finally got this pro-shot video of a live performance to enjoy. With so few live performances it does tend to get overlooked, which it shouldn't as it is such a great and haunting song and Su's vocals are incredible. It is sung entirely in English, but the official lyrics were never published so the subtitles are a close approximation (there have been many attempts to work out what they are over the years, some better than others).
This song is definitely and will always be on my top 5 for babymetal.... When I had a friend listen to this, I had to point out to him that the high pitched sound he was hearing, it was the singer singing.....One reactor described this as Dream Metal....And after hearing it, I was looking all over for bands or groups that sound like this.... ethereal vocals combined with metal and electronic music....The light show on this stage is out of this world. 😁😁😁🤘🦊🤘
Thanks from Japan 有難う💛。This song has been performed only 3 times to date. A limited number of fans who were at Hollywood Palladium on June 16, 2017 had been privileged to experience this song for 4 years. On February 16, 2021, when the intro started, everyone at Budokan (including me) was firstly shocked and gradually god excited understanding what was going to happen. At the end of the song, however, everyone got confused with what he / she witnessed because it was too surprising and mesmerizing. On the following day (Feb.17), the audiences came to the venue expecting the setlist would remain the same and FDTD would be played again. Once this song started many of them (including me) just stared at the stage without moving as if they were trying to burn the performance into their retinas. Su-Metal did it perfectly. "In the end ! (or In the air!)" Divine voice. And Moa and Momoko did perfect choreo like angels smoothly dancing around the goddess. Oh! I actually saw and listened to it twice for sure, but still "was it real?" (Even after reconfirmed it in Blu-ray video)
I love this song, the Erie mad descent from Dusk into the chaotic breakdown that is Midnight, then the crescendo snd breakthrough into Dawn. All accompanied by Su’s angelic vocals. Just an epic experience all around!! 🤘🦊
Like you, I fell in love with this song very quickly. There is a sense of sadness and loss of one's self in the beginning of the song. Then after the breakdown, it gives a joyful contemplation of hope that you can get through whatever you're feeling and a bright tomorrow is ahead. I think this was the only time the song was performed, and the fact that it was performed at Budokan is a testament to all they have achieved to perform at Budokan again. Loved your reaction, you hit it spot on for me.
Great reaction, thanks! "FDTD" is considered a rarity for many reasons: style, vocals, language, song's release and live history, etc. Regarding the musical style, this is a rare mix of dream trance with metal. Vocally, the song starts with some of Su-metal's falsetto as you perfectly noticed (not the first time we hear her using it). But it's even more impressive when she sings those crazy notes. Lyrics are fully in English and they only released it on the international version of the Metal Resistance album but not on the domestic (Japanese) version which includes "Syncopation" instead. The song premiered live in 2017 at Hollywood Palladium but they got some issues with the live footage (apparently regarding copyright, which is ironic) and it wasn't performed again until 2021at the Budokan (where this footage comes from). I like pauses, rewinds and proper comments on reaction videos because... I watch reaction videos to see an actual reaction so, some pauses are needed. 😁 Until next time! 🤘🦊
Nice reaction! FDTD is one of the underrated BABYMETAL songs, IMHO. Ignored, almost. But it is such a special song! In this performance it is even like a whole genre on its own. Its a wonderful composition, wandering all over the place, but not staying in one or two genres, one can´t fix it to the one or two genres of the many things it covers. And Su-Metal singing it? Like Moametal once said in an interview, when Su-Metal sings, it is like an angel descended to planet Earth and started to sing... Not many people know that there are no official lyrics for this one, too. All lyrics are made by fans, analyzing it to the best of their abilities in order to find out what exactly Su-Metal is singing. There is a still ongoing debate (including a slightly satiric, and very funny, caricature), if she sings "In the air!" or "in the end!", when she started to belt it out after the falsetto part 🤣 I absolutely love this song!
Great reaction and you rewind if you want to enjoy or comment on something you noticed thats why it is a reaction video . Always tear up during this song . All the vocals in this song especially Su's are so good give you such an unusual emotional feeling . ❤😁🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
Glad to see you back, Sassja! A very ethereal and hopeful sounding sound...to me. Loved the reaction, and as to pausing, it's you channel, react how you like! I have no issues with that...if I wanted to listen to the song without interruptions, I would go listen to the song! Have a good day!
FDTD is such a great song. So different from everything else. As far as the pausing, no matter how you do things, you will never satisfy everyone. Just do what you have to do. I will say though, sometimes moments in songs are interconnected with the following moments so when the song is paused at one point too many times it disconnects the flow of things. Specifically, I am referring to that transition which leads to Su's final 2 belted notes. The sum of all that is better than just the one part. So I was kind of wishing you would just let it play through. That being said, I can still greatly appreciate something even if I didn't think it's absolutely perfect. It was a great reaction. :)
Welcome back to the Foxhole, it's been a while.🦊🤘🔥 Thanks for watching this suggestion. Although it looks like a new song from previous album and we only got this proshot version from 2021, song it's actually from Metal Resistance released in 2016 and becomes one of the underrated tracks but hidden gem for some more fans. This song was performed along with Syncopation in the middle of setlist during Doomsday III and IV, it got that epic and ethereal vibes and it shows a mature side in BM second album, Metal Resistance. Both songs are part of that album, only thing is FDTD was released for international market and Syncopation only locally, of course is another suggestion for next reaction. This is a long time waited proshot version for the fans, song was pushed to be performed again after many years and being played only one time at Hollywood Paladium in 2017 while on US tour when YuiMetal was still in the group, sadly for copyright disputes that proshot version never saw the light and we only have fancams of that. Thankfully they performed this in 2021 at 10 Babymetal Years Budokan, and surprised everyone with this astonishing and beautiful production. Momoko Okazaki (now MomoMetal) was the avenger helping to fill the third spot and she did a great job. Also the English lyrics is a little bit more clear thanks to Papa Xan from BMRR although this one is a fan edit with another English translation, but we don't have official lyrics yet, is one out of four songs with full English lyrics. Like someone said before, MoaMetal is like a body subtitles for this song. Love that dubstep or brostep breakdown, is a genre widely know and popular around 2015 thanks to Skrillex among others, he actually become very good friend of BM and even invite them to perform during a Skrillex show in Japan playing a remix version of Gimme Chocolate!! This month they started the Asian Tour and in October they will be at Knotfest Brazil, Argentina and Chile for the first time in South America, as well Peru with a headlining show, they will come back to the US for another tour and also Mexico will be part of that tour but this time as special guests for Slipknot, we can't wait for it. Hope to see you around with more BM songs. Thanks for sharing this and see you next time 🦊🤘❤
⚡ 💀 💕 / 🌅 I was at the Hollywood Palladium in 2017 when this song had its live debut with Su, Moa and Yui. More importantly, also in the audience that night were Su's Mom and Dad. : ) However, I would have loved to see one of the two Budokan February 2021 performances. They took it to a whole new level. And Su's voice just gets better and better.
lol do not listen to people telling you not to pause. They’re the same people saying you didn’t react. They’re the same ones saying you talked through the part they wanted you to see. You can’t please them
Yuü, one of my favorite songs. At that time Su and Moa had to show what they can do with their voices. And now they could do in principle more. But in reality they limited this song. It is probably a song that put too much strain on their voices..
@sassjastans yup ...right! S bagay aq din..im a full 80s NW, 90s rock,,metal, jazz and mostly Deep House & EDM..now im on KPop and on PPop especially BINI...🤭😅🤙
I love FDTD, one of my favorite songs of theirs. This was the exclusive track on the international version of their second album. I would suggest Syncopation Live at Legend MM 2024 as well which was the exclusive track on the Japanese one. Their new Legend MM 2024 concerts has opened up a lot of new performances of songs to react to. I would also suggest Karate from the concert (requires watermark). Syncopation: th-cam.com/video/ffZO_zxDIvM/w-d-xo.html Karate: th-cam.com/video/x1645-9Sz2w/w-d-xo.html
Welcome back to BabyMetal. Nice reaction as always. For more emotional style Su solo tracks you could look at Legend of 1997 Apocalypse version of Akatsuki which is very different from the one you've watched from 2021 and is one of my favourite Su vocal performances th-cam.com/video/-Mh5nrXIw6s/w-d-xo.html No Rain, No Rainbow (Live at Legend S 2017) th-cam.com/video/wcACkpORW0g/w-d-xo.html

FDTD is a really beautiful song. I was amazed at SU's singing skills!😱💖
Babymetal is the most beautiful and gorgeous girl band in Japan they rock and they are beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤

Of all of BABYMETAL songs, this song, to me, is unique. It is just so different. My soul feels this song.
Thank you for your reaction.
🤘🦊🤘
Thank you for your great reaction. I think this is the most beautiful song along with Shine.

Ijime Dame Zettai live at 2014 Sonosphere please! So awesome
日本語ですみませんm(__)m
この曲は、日本発売版のアルバムには収録されておらず、海外版のみ収録されてる曲です
ですので、BABYMETALにしては珍しく、全編英語での歌詞になってます。
SU-METALの透き通った歌声と、彼女だからこそ出せる綺麗な高音と、幻想的な曲とが相まって、幻想的な曲となっており、現地でこの曲を生で聞いた時は、鳥肌が立ちました。
羨ましいデス～😆
Su's falsetto voice is nuts.

For more emotional style Su solo tracks you could look at
Legend of 1997 Apocalypse version of Akatsuki which is very different from the one you've watched from 2021 and is one of my favourite Su vocal performances
