I'm glad you liked this one more than the original. We've all been really excited about this since it was announced yesterday. And it is not an easy feat, The First Take is an enormous channel that mostly brings Sony artists from the mainstream acts in Japan. To have a Heavy Metal band from a non Sony company, it was nearly impossible. And Su does not fail to deliver, the emotion she puts in her singing has always been her strongest weapon. Oh and we see Koba keeps teasing a third girl in there xD
The contrast from the first time she sings that and goes soft/sad with it to this one where she puts more power behind it (perhaps to show more sadness or anguish in some way?) gives me chills every time. Then towards the end of the breakdown where she does that rising note at 4:10 brings tears to my eyes. Just a beautiful version of the song and we need this to be available to buy!
@@mr.osclasses5054 That's right. She connects with people through her singing, because she sings with a lot of feeling and emotion. Chills when her voice hits those high notes Apparently The First Take adds the songs on Spotify, so it will soon be available to listen to on the platforms
Thanks from Japan 有難う💛。What I can say now is ... Thank you BABYMETAL. And thank you Koba for your serendipity. You certainly discovered something amazing and sacred for us 13 years ago.
I mean, it kind of is a sad song with what its topic is. Over 100K people died in the blink of an eye, not exactly light-hearted. I'm just being a wise ass, I completely get what you're saying. For me, personally, I think Monochrome is the best of all the songs they've released so far (although I've only heard Light & Darkness like twice, so jury is still out there), but I can see where others might not enjoy it as much.
That's even better than the "normal" version. They are such great singers. Su's ability to put emotion into her singing got so much better over the years (though i stll love them more when they are "smoll" haha)
@vegeta6555 Gimme Chocolate is the only Babymetal song in the top 100 Japanese songs on TH-cam. It's 34. Babymetal has plenty of Japanese fans but they aren't what you think.
I'm pretty sure we all were pretty apprehensive about this, completely forgetting how professional both of them are 😅 Outstanding version for such an emotional song. 🤘🏻🦊⚡
Welcome back to the Foxhole and BabyMetal's metalverse 🦊🤘🌐 I already left a suggestion over this song in your previous ROR reaction, thanks for sharing this so fast. This version is getting attraction for new reactors and hopefully this new side of BM will get many more new fans. Love this piano version, i just hope no ones called this "Unfinished Version" 😅 See you next time Joel. 🦊🤘🌈
Well as the saying goes don't judge a book by it's cover!! Well Babymetal has redefined that many times over!! This puts it into some pretty clear perspective now however. These ladies are as professional as they come. To come this far in light of all the backlash over the years. Speaks to a drive and commitment to your craft as naysayers be dammed!! To think their first performance as Babymetal was at 12. Speaks volumes now as have really come full circle some 13 years later. Definitely all in now & looking foward to what they have planned next! :)
I wish I convey how emotional Su & Moa always make me feel, but I can’t. I’m going to spend the rest of the day listening repeatedly and tearing up. Thanks for the reaction. ❤️❤️❓🦊🦊
I can’t really pick from this version to the original. But you know what I’d love to see this version played live in concert. The lyrics. The messaging. Su & Moa’s vocals. It just so meaningful & beautiful.
I agree 100% on the original and it comes down to the details in the backing track, like right before they break into the first chorus where it does that screeching noise like the sound of an EMP from an atomic weapon and electronics malfunctioning to make you feel like that's the moment of the bomb going off in Hiroshima, or remembering the moment of it going off.
What is THE FIRST TAKE? THE FIRST TAKE is a one-shot performance with minimal background music. There are no reshoots. THE FIRST TAKE has been performed by various artists in the past. Finally, BABYMETAL will appear on stage. The three girls in the chorus wearing white capes in the middle of the performance reminded me of the white costumes that BABYMETAL wore only once when they debuted. The back view of those 3 girls... Makes me cry 😭.
So apparently Monochrome was actually recorded 5 years ago. Crazy if true. Also along with a lot of other songs ready to go. Again crazy if true as why wait so long between album drops if they have so much material. Would love to know if this is true.
It was nice seeing you enjoy this one eventhough you really didn't feel the normal version of the song. Su absolutely killed it and ofcourse Moa was fantastic aswell.
Nice reaction. I agree that's why Babymetal is Babymetal. Su-metal showing once again why her name keeps coming up in top metal singers list. Her ability to sing with power and emotion is amazing. Moa is sounding more like her every day. They're vocal compatibility is a big part of why they're in Babymetal together. Kobe wanted Moa in Babymetal for that reason and she can dance. Now the two are almost inseparable. The holding hands scene harkens back to the Shine performance to me. Moa said after the Legend M show. When they performed that as a duo, it was like they were so connected it felt like they were holding hands the whole performance. Kawaii. For one of Babymetals early performances they wore white robe outfits. The clips in this video reminds me of that. Is the new member in this video or is that just a stand in? During the last tour with the avengers. You could see when they would take a break. Su or Moa would reach over to the avenger and seem to ask if they're ok or ready. Sometimes to say you got this. Supporting the avenger support. Kawaii metal indeed.
Soooo much better than the other version with the corny guitar riff, wish this version was on the album instead. Her voice is incredible, give me goose bumps
Love the format of this show (though not so keen on the artists - until now!) and would love to see every major band accept the One Take challenge. Queen Su showed so much emotion singing this but then anything to do with memorialising those who died in the destruction of Hiroshima in 1945 is important to her for various reasons. Loved Moa's backing vocals too. 🦊🤘🤘🦊
Yep definitely way better than the original. At least here you can hear her voice, it lets her shine. It doesn't try to compete with her, it enlightens her. I don't know what happens, but while I like Babymetal (not a fan per say, but I usually like them) their recent recordings are not pleasing to me. Songs are fine and all. It's really the balance of the recording that I find painful.
I will say this, if Yui returns BABYMETAL will become the biggest musical news of the year and will absolutely explode, creating an actual metal kingdom. I'd be lying if I didn't admit that Yui not returning as the third would make me a little sad, but I would be happy with Momoko too.
I absolutely love BABYMETAL and Su and Moa are so amazing. I just wish they could have been more relaxed and out of character for this. Like LiSa was in some of hers. I think all of LiSa's were perfect. Obviously the girls are very talented and sounded so beautiful, but I wanted to see them have a little more fun. See them smile and giggle before or after. I just felt like they were told to stand their stiff as a board. Remain in character. I still loved it overall. but seeing serious Su-Metal and Moametal then cute relaxed Suzuka Nakamoto and Moa Kikuchi would have made it better. The 3 girls in white was mysterious. BABYMETAL always keeping us guessing. 🤘🦊🤘
It really shows what SU-METAL is capable of.

止めないリアクションがよかったです👍
When Su sings this part 3:18, tears come to my eyes.
She has a beautiful and powerful voice

Su’s vocals and her ability to express emotions with it is just incredible! What a masterpiece! ❤🤘🔥🦊
Much like Akatsuki unfinished version, just stripping everything back and letting Su's amazing voice shine is incredible.
Instant tears for me damn. No ninjas cutting onions. Just a 38 year old metalhead crying like a baby.
Perfect display of why we love Su. She's fantastic!
Thanks from Japan 有難う💛。What I can say now is ... Thank you BABYMETAL. And thank you Koba for your serendipity. You certainly discovered something amazing and sacred for us 13 years ago.
This version made me fall in love with this song. The original made me feel sad, but this one has a brighter and more hopeful feeling.🤘🦊🤘

Loved seeing how much you loved this Joel.
It's still making me cry. Why do I keep watching?
Suzuka letting some vibrato in.
excellent content Joel-METAL, absolutely beautiful agreed
Babymetal getting things right takes hard work and planning, glad you liked it.
🍅💀🍅
🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
" Just smile " x 100
" And that's why Babymetal is Babymetal baby !! !! "
👍 👍
Absolutely. Beautiful.
That's even better than the "normal" version. They are such great singers. Su's ability to put emotion into her singing got so much better over the years (though i stll love them more when they are "smoll" haha)
Monochrome is one of the best Babymetal songs and it's nice to see Babymetal be recognized in Japan.
Recognized in Japan? They been one of the biggest acts in Japan for at least 10 years.
@@vegeta6555 Not at all.

@@Hadesillo Not at all? They're one of the biggest bands in Japan. You act like every japanese artist can perform at tokyo dome lmao
Maybe they are in the top50 acts in Japan, I am being optimistic, but there are dozens of bigger acts. Some of them a lot bigger.
Their piano version is always a beautiful version.
Gorgeous.
So good! And like with Akatsuki and the unfinished version I can't decide which I like more 🤘🦊🤘
I'm pretty sure we all were pretty apprehensive about this, completely forgetting how professional both of them are 😅
Outstanding version for such an emotional song.
🤘🏻🦊⚡
🤘🦊🤘
This just slayed me - Monochrome is by FAR the one I like the most over their new stuff - now I'm not sure which version I prefer 🙂

They wore them in the final show if the IDZ series. Wasn’t exactly a debut outfit.
Yeah, the second take!😀
This is making mew feel like I am watching a disney movie lol

Do you feel it? Babymetal is in the verge of welcome Yui back. . . .
Stop. Yui is not coming back. Momoko will be the 3rd member.
@@vegeta6555 Wait and see. . .
I will say this, if Yui returns BABYMETAL will become the biggest musical news of the year and will absolutely explode, creating an actual metal kingdom.

@@PlezurBazar I know. Ideal solution: Yui AND Momoko. But OTFGK 🦊
I feel it. At least in name. But I get the feeling that BABYMETAL and AMUSE will make it more complicated than that. They always do.
It may be Su and Moa, but this isn't Baby Metal.... More metal please.....
