Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me . I will leave this pinned message here to REMIND everyone that i do not have TELEGRAM and there is no GIVEAWAY. Those you see are bot scams . Keep yourself safe and know that I would not ask for your info. ❤ ❤
I'm amazed that this is so common. I got surprised the first time they made me tear up. I was like...what? why? I couldn't understand it but hey, it just happened. So much raw emotion on Su's voice.
Whenever i need to Take a Big ideas or just be outside looking at the skies,building and many wonderful things i listen to babymetal to make me feel even better
Yes we all get them goosebumps and emotional feelings in a lot of BabyMetal performances. The audience interaction with Megitsune is great . Its impressive to see tens of thousands of fans doing exactly what Su asks for . Always feel Su's vocals sound so haunting at the start and the build up really hypes the fans up 😁🤘🦊🤘
I'm an old guy and BABYMETAL makes me emotional all the time...If you haven't done so already, you should check out Night Night Burn, kind of a lower profile tune that I've come to really love...Great reaction!!....Cheers!!!!
I feel the same. Whenever I go back and watch "BABYMETAL Live At Sonisphere UK 2014". I get emotional too. They have come very far. Thanks for BM reaction!
The fox is a messenger to the gods in Japan. The message of the story is about female empowerment. Especially in Japan which is a male dominated society women have expectations to present themselves as demure and what not while inside feel very different. And they're saying they aren't like deciding fox's but conforming to societies dmenads.
I liked the crying at the end! There's something about BABYMETAL that makes many viewers emotional, including myself, of course. I'm not sure what it is, I think it's a combination of several things: Watching how much the girls have reached at their young age, seeing them grow up and evolve, the happy and positive attitude in everything they do, the passion of the girls and also the fans, the intensity of their shows... It makes for a very strong mix. I have never encountered that with any other band before. I love your reaction to happy Moa waving at the fans at 6:15. I think I have that same reaction every time, the difference is that it looks ridiculous on me, being a middle aged man... She has the best smile!
Awesome reaction. I think your crying, at the end, was the biggest compliment, you could have given. It was genuine love of the performance. I often find myself crying at Babymetal performances, as they just me, right in the heart. The whole purpose of music, is to evoke an emotional response in the listener. To paraphrase Su-metal, "Don't think, feel!"
Some of us have watched them ever since they were preteens. So to watch them as adults is like seeing your children all grown up. So there's is an emptiness inside that knows part of their youth is now only captured in their Babymetal performance videos. Wonderful reaction. I'm glad you enjoyed this special song especially for all the megitsune in the world.
I just finished listening to Babymetal live at Wembley. I was singing along at the beginning of this song. Kitsune! Kitsune! Kitsune! The Yui and Moa chorus and dancing is fun and joy to watch. Su-metal's vocals are always amazing. The video version is also one of my favorites. Your reaction is fun and happy.
The first song I ever heard by this band nearly a decade ago, been a huge fan ever since. 🤘🦊🤘🦊🤘🦊🤘 And don't worry Bisscute, some of us Big Strong Man-Types get misty because BABYMETAL is just that Awesome.
Such a great reaction…It’s really nice to see a genuine, vulnerable reaction without inhibition. You are such a sweet person full of life and love! Love all your videos.
Interesting fact for you: the tune at the beginning, and throughout during the breakdown on the “kitsune kitsune watashi wa megitsune” line is actually from a Japanese folk tune about cherry blossom, Sakura Sakura. I was attending a Geisha show in Kyoto, Japan a few years ago and the Geisha’s musician played the Sakura Sakura folk song and I nearly jumped out of my seat in excitement when I recognised the tune from Megitsune.
I also don't know, other than they are awesome, but they have a big emotional effect on pretty much any big fan of them. And totally OK of course. They went from 11 and 12 year olds doing a single song to doing multiple world tours and winning awards before they even turned 18. To being the awesome ladies they are today. We can't wait to see them live again. You can see from their faces they want to perform live as well.
I only want to say that all because of you now i'm another babymetal fan, your first time reaction to headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!! was mine too. Thank you Bisscute for doing this videos, i'm very glad that I found your channel.
_Sore!_ 🦊🤘🔥 Finally you arrived to another BM classic and beloved song, so good you came back sharing this and going back again to early era, this time with a song from eponymous 1st album. Last time you did a great job with your crazy moves during PA PA YA! Now you got another set of movements to vibe and have fun, but i know sometimes you can't help to feel proud of the girls and let some tears of joy come out.🥲 This was released in 2013 when having around 13/14 and 15 yo, so is one of their early hits and is full of japanese elements, like the _shamizen_ a japanese traditional instrument, and is a party festival song (matsuri). "Sore" "seiya" and "soya" are typical shouts among Japanese festival and it works like a "c'mon!" or "let's go" for them. During the breakdown you can hear another typical japanese folk song called "Sakura Sakura" and they're doing a traditional Japanese dance. Good thing you can see the lyrics on this, and gj with the pronunciation. Song is about female empowerment and if you follow the lyrics you'll see about it, "Megitsune" means female vixens, and they talk about women acting with a smile in their face while crying inside, just to fit in society or what is expected from them, when they're kind to you, they're not trying to make falling in love with them, they're just being their own way, and men tend to confuse and think they're cheating or deceiving. Japanese friends told that "megitsune" used to be a peyorative term in Japanese culture but BM is using this as a way to empower women despite the meaning itself. When SuMetal (the lead singer) is throwing a kick she's saying _"maidens shouldn't be uderstimated",_ that refers to a japanese mob film about some boss mafia daughter before attacking someone. During official MV she does something different and really looks cool doing it. Megitsune is a quintessential BM song and among top ranking songs by fans, SuMetal said she didn't mastered yet, that's why you will hear her doing sound check with this song before live concerts. One of my favorite version is the "Red Fox Festival 2017" with a room full of megitsune only, you can find that at Babymetal Reactor Resource under "Me Git Sune All female audience" title. The long intro is pretty usual at live performance and is called "Megitsune Extended Intro", they start with the breakdown spoilers and that's why I don't recommend live version for first time watching, if you want to come back and listen again this with the original trio, highly recommend you to watch the official MV, you'll see a lot more of japanese elements and fox imagery that is their trademark. This is a live compilation from Budokan 2021 celebrating their 10 BABYMETAL Years, the avenger or third backup dancer here was Momoko Okazaki, a former Sakura Gakuin member just like our girls. The Kami Band got a rotation on guitars too but without dropping any high quality level but with a new gear on their costumes since 2019, like the masks and black burial robes. This is quite long to explain but in general I think after Mikio Fujioka (beloved Kami Band guitarist) past away, they didn't want to risk more exposure on the Kami Band members, there are even a new set of session musicians all of them from the west known as the Western Kami Band, but some fans didn't like the masks either way. Due to pandemic restrictions these 10 live concerts series were reduced to half capacity, the crowd wasn't allowed to mosh'sh, crowd surfing or shout without face mask, instead they can stomp their feet, clap their hands or doing a human wave, at least they can do something to participate in this epic and memorable date event. The crowd sound here were played from the speakers so no real crowd sound, and the "crowd wave", similar to soccer stadium at World Cup, was introduced for the first time here to give the crowd something fun to interact, Flugelhorn from Japan will give you more details since he was there in almost every concert. Budokan 2021 marks their 10 years anniversary celebration and seal the Metal Resistance chapter along with another seal for the group, fortunately that seal is gonna end sooner or later since they're releasing exclusive snippets of new songs on their digital gallery called "The Other One", a restoration project currently around 73% completed, we can only wish for next month news about a single at least but like they said... "Only The Fox God Knows" 🙏 They always love to show their kawaii side, especially on songs like these, but at the same time SuMetal is trying to improve when singing this song, she said she didn't mastered yet, that's why you can hear doing sound check with this song before live concerts during live tour. 6:52 She said: _"On the count of three, everyone jump up with the Fox God"_ They're totally pro at crowd participation and leading to them doing what they want by this time, easy job, who wouldn't want to be guide by our queen and princess, you did a fantastic job too, sore! In case i or someone didn't explain you about the origin of the "fox sign", here's why. The Fox God (Kitsune Sama) is the Metal God who sent these girls (and Kami Band after to help them with the metal sound) to unify the world and set them free from Jpop slavery. The kitsune sign came out by accident around the time they created the group by the girls when trying to imitate the typical metal horn sign they noticed it was similar when doing fox shadow shape, they implemented this as part of the lore, imagery, theme and live concerts, the lore is huge so take your time and keep digging and riding the Foxhole 🦊🤘 Btw they praised for real and made a ritual to the Fox God for this song to be a hit and successful, and thanks to the Fox God this is one of their major hits and favorite BM fan songs. -NotACult- 👀 Now you know why we said "kitsune" (fox) to male fans and "megitsune" to female fans ha. See you next time, beautiful megitsune. 🦊🤘❤️
Beautiful, I loved your reaction today! This song is just wonderful! The number 3 in my top 10 of Babymetal and it's the favorite song of someone who I loved very much and is gone. I couldn't hold back the tears. Thank you, thank you, for your reaction and this video. See you at the next, Megitsune 🤟🏻🦊❤️🇯🇵
9:10 don't feel old! We're all old! And that's why Babymetal exists. Cos it doesn't matter how old we are. Only that we keep going crazy, and keep having a good time
excellent content Bisscute-Metal, don't worry about tears, they can bring tears out of the hardened hearts of hardcore metalheads, including myself. when you let this band into your heart, they heal thy soul. have you seen "From Dusk Til Dawn" yet? it will blow your mind.
In the lyrics, the Kitsune Kami (popular mythological Fox God related to the harvest) is a literary quote referring to the empowerment of Women. Masks in Japanese popular culture have a different meaning. They refer to folk festivals and the Noh Theater. They are social types and also gods. In the case of Kitsune Kami, it can also be interpreted as being sent to defeat tyrants through intelligence.🎸🎸🦊🦊🦊🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥 Long live Babymetal!!!
Bisscute... i know you read this a lot... but you know.. it's like when i see someone enjoying the things i like it's a kind of feeling or need to talk about with this person. I appreciate your reactions and your content, even though i will never have a chance to talk about music and stuff with you. But at least i want you to know... you're amazing in every way and you give a lot of people a piece of joy and a chance to be open for new music. Greetings from germany and stay cute ^^
We watched them grow up. Just like the lyrics describe the three girls are becoming more like an ideal woman. ♥️ I remember Moa said several times: "I want to be super Moa.". Yes, you did it.♥️
Megitsune:- "Megitsune" (メギツネ, "Vixen") is the second major label single by the Japanese kawaii metal band Babymetal. It was released in Japan on June 19, 2013 as the fifth single from the album Babymetal. It is also the first single released independently from the idol group Sakura Gakuin. "Megitsune" A figure with a kitsune (fox) mask wearing a headpiece and a black robe on a red background, holding two shamisen criss-cross behind it. The single was first announced for a June release on April 1, 2013. The single was released in four versions: a standard edition and three limited editions. The "Ki", "Tsu", and "Ne" (Kitsune means "fox" in Japanese) limited editions included single artwork focused on Nakamoto, Mizuno, and Kikuchi respectively, and their included DVDs feature footage of two songs from each of the live performances from Live: Legend I, D, Z Apocalypse. Additionally, the single included a chance to contain a ticket to the premium event Kitsune Festival at Meguro Rock May Kan on July 14, 2013. To promote the release, the band was featured in the June issue of Marquee and on the cover of the July issue of Hedoban, in addition to collaborating with Tower Records for the 34th rendition of the event No Music, No Idol?. Babymetal concert chronology:- •Babymetal Death Match Tour 2013: May Revolution (2013) •Babymetal World Tour 2014 (2014). The Babymetal Death Match Tour 2013: May Revolution (BABYMETAL DEATH MATCH TOUR 2013 -五月革命-, Babymetal Death Match Tour 2013 -Gogatsu Kakumei-) was a promotional concert tour by Babymetal, occurring in conjunction with the promotion of "Megitsune". The band performed four shows, with two on the final tour date, at the same venue. Customers who purchased tickets to the tour could receive an exclusive edition of the single, with a remix by Yuyoyuppe, under the name DJ'Tekina//Something. According to Mizuno, the tour was designed to be a "training tour". During each of the four shows the three members wore stage costumes for the eras of "Doki Doki ☆ Morning" (which had become nostalgically small for them), "Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!", and "Ijime, Dame, Zettai", respectively, with the final show premiering new costumes for "Megitsune". Kitsune Up 🦊🦊🦊🤘🤘🤘🇯🇵🇸🇬 #notacult.
LOL, great reaction. The thing is, I don't think anybody can really explain it, but the same thing often happens to me when listening to BM. Some of their songs are just so epic.. you get the high energy metal that pumps you up.. the hooks that make you feel some kind of way, their dancing and attitudes that make you feel happy. It's a happy, emotional roller coaster that can make grown ass men tear up as well. I felt stupid at first, but I've watched enough reactions and read enough comments to know I'm not the only one. lol
Your reaction at 4:13 pretty much sums up my feelings every second I’m watching them. It’s this feeling of awe and admiration and the fact that they know EXACTLY what they’re doing, and they’re doing it perfectly.
So, as usual fantastic reaction, from the ❤️ and I loved it, as much as I love the song, however, I've seen your reactions for a while now, and thought "wow what a glamorous lady" and you're wearing pyjamas!!!!! Lol. Still, great tune ,great reaction, great to see you back on the Babemetal, and I'll ask again for song four 😀 xxx
Megitsune is one of the Babymetal song where you have to watch the official Musicvideo, the breakdown just sounds amazing and it's one of the cutest Musicvideos I ever saw.
ich liebe babymetall und mir kommen auch tränen bei vielen ihrer songs, freudentränen und auch tränen weil ich so überwätigt von ihrer musik bin. die band ist einfach grandios und nicht nur ihre lieder sind der hammer sondern die sängerinnen auch. alles bildet eine einheit und ist vollkommen stimmig. was ich auch liebe ist wie du mitgehst und mitfeierst . dein blog ist der beste i love baby metal and i have tears in many of their songs, tears of joy and also tears because i am so overwhelmed by their music. the band is just terrific and not only their songs are awesome but the singers too. everything forms a unit and is perfectly coherent. what I also love is how you go along and celebrate with them . your blog is the best
I discovered you while listening to reactions to Babymetal today, being a big fan since their debut! It's beautiful to see someone who understands the vibe. Thank you for making me cry.
I remember the first time I heard Babymetal. I seriously stood there in a WTF moment. I was then forced to admit that they freaking rocked. The Kami band just kills it!
I love Babymetal so much man they do the genre so much and the fan interactions are S tier, their english is getting so good too like it's hard to not like them.
Love that you appreciate Babymetal as much as I do 🥹 Nothing to be ashamed of, I’m also tearing up from happiness overload when I’m listening certain songs of them & I’m a freaking grown a** man 😂
This is heart music. And your heart responds to it, with tears. The biggest compliment you can give to an artist. Loved what you did here. And please keep doing it. You are so BUBBLY!!!
i love BM, Suzuka has beautiful beautiful voice. Every her performance is ... 100%. I hope, they will be on a tour in EU soon. i want to see them live!
There's something almost royal about how Su carries herself. She's dancing and singing, but she knows she's the queen so she doesn't cut loose. Dunno, hard to describe.. it works though
Wow Thank you You are fun For me BABYMETAL is life Every time they take my breath away and Bring tears for me i am an antique very mature man Following you now
Great reaction. 'Megitsune' is a difficult song to sing - so Su-metal uses it for sound checks and to check how she is sounding before concerts. It often tops fan polls for favourite song and they have played it live more often than any other song. It is arguably the song that showcases best what BABYMETAL are about and one that truly reflects their Japanese culture the best starting with the traditional instruments (shamisen) in the intro and the lyrics about women being compared to foxes (kitsune - which also explains the fox mask Su has in the breakdown) which, as you said yourself, in Japanese mythology, are able to shape shift and take human form in order to deceive. As I think you already understood, it is also a bit of a push back against the traditional female role in Japanese society I think - or maybe it is - whilst also praising and celebrating the women who have played that role over the years for their strength. They are saying that women wearing their make up and hiding their true feelings ("crying at heart, smiling at face") are not trying to deceive anybody, they are simply trying to please everybody - so they are not kitsune (foxes), they are megitsune (female foxes or vixens) - and they are strong. The breakdown in the middle of the song (that has pig squeal screams, they are more obvious in the studio recording) uses the exact melody of an old and very well known Japanese folk song called 'Sakura Sakura' (Cherry Blossoms). When Su said "Otome wa ... nametara ikan zeyo." (Maidens ... shouldn't be underestimated). The last part of this is a famous quote from a Japanese gangster movie said by the daughter of a gang boss.
For the first time I see someone like you :) I mean, a girl who likes this style of music and the atmosphere in general :) Thank you for not being ashamed of your tears and emotions, this is a rarity today, especially from girls. I'm not a fan, but this particular song really hit me, it's meaningful and just very rocking :)
⚡ 💀 💕 / 🦊 ⛩ Still my favorite BABYMETAL song, music video and choreography. Definitely quintessential BABYMETAL, and their most Japanese track. They've performed it more often than any other song, and it consistently tops fan polls for favorite BABYMETAL song. The hype for this song is almost unreal at their live shows. 'Megitsune' incorporates a lot of Japanese festival shouts, like "Sore, sore, sore, sore!" ("Go! Go! Go! Go!") Su still considers it one of her favorites, even though it's hard to sing this one live. The lyrics are really interesting, and the music video for this song is a masterpiece.
Having seen them in concert the energy they send out is incredible. They are so impressive and how they can maintain the energy is hard to believe with all their dancing and singing (it made me tired watching them for an hour).
@@BisscuteReacts If you ever get the chance you have to see them live. I have seen many concerts very few had the energy and excitement of theirs's. If you had tears of joy watching their videos you will not be able to hold back at a live show.
If u notice the other member is not Yui Mizuno, she is out from this band since 2019. Some people say that she's out from babymetal because of her health issue. After that babymetal only perform only with 2 member, but now they had some additional member/dancer to replace Yui position.
I love your pure and wholesome reactions they are so cute and funny feel old your young. Plus you watched and old video when they stared out for your 1st reaction. Keep up the great content.
Said it before, gonna say it again anyway :) Live version of "Iine" (specifically this one - th-cam.com/video/L0MmQ_k2hx8/w-d-xo.html BABYMETAL - Iine! (LIVE "LEGEND 1997" [SU-METAL Seitan Sai] 2013, by far the best live version of this song). Absolutely insane crowd control/reaction.
I love this song because it hits in three very different directions it just shreds, it’s great to sing along to and it tells a very understated part of Japanese culture that the woman is supposed to be strong, and be beautiful and kind all at once yet never say anything, aka the fox god being deceptive.
Saw them this week. Can confirm, her vocals are still on point. Shes lost a little at the top end but gained more lower so sustains her mids better now rather than the highs.
Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me .
I will leave this pinned message here to REMIND everyone that i do not have TELEGRAM and there is no GIVEAWAY. Those you see are bot scams . Keep yourself safe and know that I would not ask for your info. ❤ ❤
you're not the only one who cries for this group. They inspire us with their lyrics, their message, their sincerity, and their effort.
They are amazing
i confirm , I have cry
I'm amazed that this is so common. I got surprised the first time they made me tear up. I was like...what? why? I couldn't understand it but hey, it just happened. So much raw emotion on Su's voice.
Whenever i need to Take a Big ideas or just be outside looking at the skies,building and many wonderful things i listen to babymetal to make me feel even better
You and mr rock n roll are the most entertaining enthusiastic babymetal reviewers ever. 🤘🦊🤘😆
I’m a 59 year old Rock N Roll guy and BabyMetal songs still get to me too! Love your reactions and Keep Your Kitsune’s Up!🤘🏼🦊🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻
Thank you ️❤️

I feel the same. Whenever I go back and watch "BABYMETAL Live At Sonisphere UK 2014". I get emotional too. They have come very far. Thanks for BM reaction!
Megitsune is the hardest ass-kicking song about women empowerment. Your tears are well-deserved. :)
The fox is a messenger to the gods in Japan. The message of the story is about female empowerment. Especially in Japan which is a male dominated society women have expectations to present themselves as demure and what not while inside feel very different. And they're saying they aren't like deciding fox's but conforming to societies dmenads.
No other band makes you feel that way!
Hyped, emotional and really, really cheerful...
Great reaction 👍
Thank you

I'm not sure what it is, I think it's a combination of several things: Watching how much the girls have reached at their young age, seeing them grow up and evolve, the happy and positive attitude in everything they do, the passion of the girls and also the fans, the intensity of their shows...

Finally you arrived to another BM classic and beloved song, so good you came back sharing this and going back again to early era, this time with a song from eponymous 1st album.

In case i or someone didn't explain you about the origin of the "fox sign", here's why.
The Fox God (Kitsune Sama) is the Metal God who sent these girls (and Kami Band after to help them with the metal sound) to unify the world and set them free from Jpop slavery. The kitsune sign came out by accident around the time they created the group by the girls when trying to imitate the typical metal horn sign they noticed it was similar when doing fox shadow shape, they implemented this as part of the lore, imagery, theme and live concerts, the lore is huge so take your time and keep digging and riding the Foxhole 🦊🤘
Btw they praised for real and made a ritual to the Fox God for this song to be a hit and successful, and thanks to the Fox God this is one of their major hits and favorite BM fan songs. -NotACult- 👀
Now you know why we said "kitsune" (fox) to male fans and "megitsune" to female fans ha.
See you next time, beautiful megitsune. 🦊🤘❤️
was i shocked when u saw Momoko instead of Kano. Momoko was really fun to see in Sagaku.
Beautiful, I loved your reaction today! This song is just wonderful! The number 3 in my top 10 of Babymetal and it's the favorite song of someone who I loved very much and is gone. I couldn't hold back the tears. Thank you, thank you, for your reaction and this video. See you at the next, Megitsune 🤟🏻🦊❤️🇯🇵
It is wonderful, thank you so much for being here
@@BisscuteReacts always, Beauty, always! ❤️
9:10 don't feel old! We're all old! And that's why Babymetal exists. Cos it doesn't matter how old we are. Only that we keep going crazy, and keep having a good time
Bisscute, your reactions are phenomenal !! Loved it!😃🤘👍👍👍
Thank you so much ❤
@@BisscuteReacts There is a cover version of Megitsune by Nemophila. An equally impressively one, imho. Hope you check it out yeah😊
excellent content Bisscute-Metal, don't worry about tears, they can bring tears out of the hardened hearts of hardcore metalheads, including myself. when you let this band into your heart, they heal thy soul. have you seen "From Dusk Til Dawn" yet? it will blow your mind.
Thank you so much, glad you liked it
BABYMETAL is just a fun time for everyone.
Do yourself a favor if you ever have a chance to see them live do it.!!!!
Beautiful reaction, Bisscute! Don't worry about crying. It just shows that the spirit of the Fox God runs through you! Kitsune Up! 🤘🦊🤘
Oh thank you
Otome wa .... nametara ikan zeyo ... Su Metal's spoken line in the song ... just perfect :)
In the lyrics, the Kitsune Kami (popular mythological Fox God related to the harvest) is a literary quote referring to the empowerment of Women. Masks in Japanese popular culture have a different meaning. They refer to folk festivals and the Noh Theater. They are social types and also gods. In the case of Kitsune Kami, it can also be interpreted as being sent to defeat tyrants through intelligence.🎸🎸🦊🦊🦊🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥 Long live Babymetal!!!
Bisscute... i know you read this a lot... but you know.. it's like when i see someone enjoying the things i like it's a kind of feeling or need to talk about with this person. I appreciate your reactions and your content, even though i will never have a chance to talk about music and stuff with you. But at least i want you to know... you're amazing in every way and you give a lot of people a piece of joy and a chance to be open for new music. Greetings from germany and stay cute ^^
Beautiful reaction to BabyMetal as always. ❤ They make me cry happy tears too. 🥹😅
Thank youu
We watched them grow up. Just like the lyrics describe the three girls are becoming more like an ideal woman. ♥️
I remember Moa said several times: "I want to be super Moa.". Yes, you did it.♥️
Megitsune:-
"Megitsune" (メギツネ, "Vixen") is the second major label single by the Japanese kawaii metal band Babymetal. It was released in Japan on June 19, 2013 as the fifth single from the album Babymetal. It is also the first single released independently from the idol group Sakura Gakuin.
"Megitsune"
A figure with a kitsune (fox) mask wearing a headpiece and a black robe on a red background, holding two shamisen criss-cross behind it.
The single was first announced for a June release on April 1, 2013. The single was released in four versions: a standard edition and three limited editions. The "Ki", "Tsu", and "Ne" (Kitsune means "fox" in Japanese) limited editions included single artwork focused on Nakamoto, Mizuno, and Kikuchi respectively, and their included DVDs feature footage of two songs from each of the live performances from Live: Legend I, D, Z Apocalypse. Additionally, the single included a chance to contain a ticket to the premium event Kitsune Festival at Meguro Rock May Kan on July 14, 2013.
To promote the release, the band was featured in the June issue of Marquee and on the cover of the July issue of Hedoban, in addition to collaborating with Tower Records for the 34th rendition of the event No Music, No Idol?.
Babymetal concert chronology:-
•Babymetal Death Match Tour 2013: May Revolution (2013)
•Babymetal World Tour 2014 (2014).
The Babymetal Death Match Tour 2013: May Revolution (BABYMETAL DEATH MATCH TOUR 2013 -五月革命-, Babymetal Death Match Tour 2013 -Gogatsu Kakumei-) was a promotional concert tour by Babymetal, occurring in conjunction with the promotion of "Megitsune". The band performed four shows, with two on the final tour date, at the same venue. Customers who purchased tickets to the tour could receive an exclusive edition of the single, with a remix by Yuyoyuppe, under the name DJ'Tekina//Something.
According to Mizuno, the tour was designed to be a "training tour". During each of the four shows the three members wore stage costumes for the eras of "Doki Doki ☆ Morning" (which had become nostalgically small for them), "Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!", and "Ijime, Dame, Zettai", respectively, with the final show premiering new costumes for "Megitsune".
Kitsune Up 🦊🦊🦊🤘🤘🤘🇯🇵🇸🇬 #notacult.
Rarely seen someone involved that actively in a reaction, this is one of my fav song, thank you for sharing that moment
My pleasure, BABYMETAL is amazing. hard not to be involved haha ❤️
Great reaction! This is my favorite BM song. The lyrics, the melody…everything in this song there is always a tear of happiness!
Thank you, its a great son
A beautiful reaction to a beautiful song sung by a beautiful group! Perfect and well done!
THOSE OF US WHO LOVE BABYMETAL...KNOW WHAT YOU FEEL....BABYMETAL IS LIFE
Awesome! I love how much you get into this. I'm not crying either...my eyes are just really shiney today...lol
Thank you so much, glad to see you enjoy it too ❤️
LOL, great reaction. The thing is, I don't think anybody can really explain it, but the same thing often happens to me when listening to BM. Some of their songs are just so epic.. you get the high energy metal that pumps you up.. the hooks that make you feel some kind of way, their dancing and attitudes that make you feel happy. It's a happy, emotional roller coaster that can make grown ass men tear up as well. I felt stupid at first, but I've watched enough reactions and read enough comments to know I'm not the only one. lol
RIght? its so great and im glad you liked the reaction
It's amazing. Something about this band brings out emotions I never even knew I had...Great reaction as usual.
Glad you enjoyed it ❤
Hey girl, I think it's time for a reaction to the song - DEATH (Legend 1997 live) 🦊🤘😉
Megitsune is still one of my favourite BM songs. The music, choreography and dancing, the lyrics and singing all make this song great.
This is probably my favorite Babymetal song! So fun, energetic and emotional. Really cool to play on guitar as well! \m/ Great reaction!
Right? this was amazing, thank you ❤️
Your reaction at 4:13 pretty much sums up my feelings every second I’m watching them. It’s this feeling of awe and admiration and the fact that they know EXACTLY what they’re doing, and they’re doing it perfectly.
Isn't it wonderful to live in a world where there's BABYMETAL. It's also beautiful to see your reaction. Thank you.
So, as usual fantastic reaction, from the ❤️ and I loved it, as much as I love the song, however, I've seen your reactions for a while now, and thought "wow what a glamorous lady" and you're wearing pyjamas!!!!! Lol. Still, great tune ,great reaction, great to see you back on the Babemetal, and I'll ask again for song four 😀 xxx
hahaha Matt sometimes PJ are necesarry
Megitsune is one of the Babymetal song where you have to watch the official Musicvideo, the breakdown just sounds amazing and it's one of the cutest Musicvideos I ever saw.
We are all so proud of them slowly growing up over the years, and from watching them live over the years. LIke proud daddies and mummies.
Right?
happy tears - you like so proud of them, like their big sister seeing them flourish
Riight? ❤️
Great reaction baby :)
And great moves :)
Real tears of joy :)
Thank you so much ❤️
ich liebe babymetall und mir kommen auch tränen bei vielen ihrer songs, freudentränen und auch tränen weil ich so überwätigt von ihrer musik bin. die band ist einfach grandios und nicht nur ihre lieder sind der hammer sondern die sängerinnen auch. alles bildet eine einheit und ist vollkommen stimmig. was ich auch liebe ist wie du mitgehst und mitfeierst . dein blog ist der beste
i love baby metal and i have tears in many of their songs, tears of joy and also tears because i am so overwhelmed by their music. the band is just terrific and not only their songs are awesome but the singers too. everything forms a unit and is perfectly coherent. what I also love is how you go along and celebrate with them . your blog is the best
I discovered you while listening to reactions to Babymetal today, being a big fan since their debut! It's beautiful to see someone who understands the vibe. Thank you for making me cry.
I have seen at least two other reactors come to tears watching these women perform. You are not alone.
I remember the first time I heard Babymetal. I seriously stood there in a WTF moment. I was then forced to admit that they freaking rocked. The Kami band just kills it!
your crying make me subscribe! love your reaction!!! full emotion!
Aweeee thank you ❤️
I love Babymetal so much man they do the genre so much and the fan interactions are S tier, their english is getting so good too like it's hard to not like them.
They are amazing ❤
your one of us now . Su has made all of us cry a few times.
You are beautiful, beautiful reaction, beautiful BabyMetal 🖤🖤🖤
Thank you so much
Love that you appreciate Babymetal as much as I do 🥹
Nothing to be ashamed of, I’m also tearing up from happiness overload when I’m listening certain songs of them & I’m a freaking grown a** man 😂
Thanks for the smile. Watching your enjoyment of this video was a treat I needed today.
Thank you for being here

Aweee thank you so much
i love BM, Suzuka has beautiful beautiful voice. Every her performance is ... 100%. I hope, they will be on a tour in EU soon. i want to see them live!
Right?
Being a Babymetal fan for more than a decade, i totally get you ❤❤🥰 we love BabyMetal and we love the Legendary Kami Band. 🤘🏻🦊
the intro/bridge where Su metal sings "kitsune, kitsune, the melody is taken from a very old Japanese folk song called Sakura.
There's something almost royal about how Su carries herself. She's dancing and singing, but she knows she's the queen so she doesn't cut loose. Dunno, hard to describe.. it works though
There is something there ❤
Wow
Thank you
You are fun
For me
BABYMETAL
is life
Every time they take my breath away
and
Bring tears for me
i am an antique very mature man
Following you now
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
Great reaction. 'Megitsune' is a difficult song to sing - so Su-metal uses it for sound checks and to check how she is sounding before concerts.
It often tops fan polls for favourite song and they have played it live more often than any other song.
It is arguably the song that showcases best what BABYMETAL are about and one that truly reflects their Japanese culture the best starting with the traditional instruments (shamisen) in the intro and the lyrics about women being compared to foxes (kitsune - which also explains the fox mask Su has in the breakdown) which, as you said yourself, in Japanese mythology, are able to shape shift and take human form in order to deceive.
As I think you already understood, it is also a bit of a push back against the traditional female role in Japanese society I think - or maybe it is - whilst also praising and celebrating the women who have played that role over the years for their strength.
They are saying that women wearing their make up and hiding their true feelings ("crying at heart, smiling at face") are not trying to deceive anybody, they are simply trying to please everybody - so they are not kitsune (foxes), they are megitsune (female foxes or vixens) - and they are strong.
The breakdown in the middle of the song (that has pig squeal screams, they are more obvious in the studio recording) uses the exact melody of an old and very well known Japanese folk song called 'Sakura Sakura' (Cherry Blossoms).
When Su said "Otome wa ... nametara ikan zeyo." (Maidens ... shouldn't be underestimated). The last part of this is a famous quote from a Japanese gangster movie said by the daughter of a gang boss.
What a band omg I fucking love em
WE COULD TELL , BISSCUTE ! YOU REALLY WANTED TO DO THE CHOREOGRAPHY , REAL BAD ! KAGARU IS PROBABLY MY FAVORITE CHOREOGRAPHY !
It was hard to stay seated
For the first time I see someone like you :) I mean, a girl who likes this style of music and the atmosphere in general :) Thank you for not being ashamed of your tears and emotions, this is a rarity today, especially from girls. I'm not a fan, but this particular song really hit me, it's meaningful and just very rocking :)
Thank you so much
⚡ 💀 💕 / 🦊 ⛩
Still my favorite BABYMETAL song, music video and choreography.
Definitely quintessential BABYMETAL, and their most Japanese track.
They've performed it more often than any other song, and it consistently tops fan polls for favorite BABYMETAL song.
The hype for this song is almost unreal at their live shows.
'Megitsune' incorporates a lot of Japanese festival shouts, like "Sore, sore, sore, sore!" ("Go! Go! Go! Go!")
Su still considers it one of her favorites, even though it's hard to sing this one live.
The lyrics are really interesting, and the music video for this song is a masterpiece.
Right?
Having seen them in concert the energy they send out is incredible. They are so impressive and how they can maintain the energy is hard to believe with all their dancing and singing (it made me tired watching them for an hour).
I’m sure seeing them was a blast❤️
@@BisscuteReacts If you ever get the chance you have to see them live. I have seen many concerts very few had the energy and excitement of theirs's. If you had tears of joy watching their videos you will not be able to hold back at a live show.
If u notice the other member is not Yui Mizuno, she is out from this band since 2019. Some people say that she's out from babymetal because of her health issue.
After that babymetal only perform only with 2 member, but now they had some additional member/dancer to replace Yui position.
I did notice after ❤️
I love your pure and wholesome reactions they are so cute and funny feel old your young. Plus you watched and old video when they stared out for your 1st reaction. Keep up the great content.
Thank you so much❤️❤️
@@BisscuteReacts just messaged you on insta
Said it before, gonna say it again anyway :) Live version of "Iine" (specifically this one - th-cam.com/video/L0MmQ_k2hx8/w-d-xo.html BABYMETAL - Iine! (LIVE "LEGEND 1997" [SU-METAL Seitan Sai] 2013, by far the best live version of this song). Absolutely insane crowd control/reaction.
BABYMETAL HAS THAT EFFECT ON PEOPLE.THERE ARE AT LEAST 3 SONGS THAT I HAVE TEARS SO ITS OK TO HAVE TEARS
They are amazing ❤
I don't know if you've reacted to it yet but the live version of Awadama Fever is about Kawaii Metal as they get and you would really enjoy it 🦊🤘
I feel the same way. I watch them and feel like a VERY PROUD GRANDFATHER!
This is the reaction I've been waiting for!!!
Yaay glad you liked it
Great reaction! Nemophila also did a great cover/video of this song. I think you'd enjoy it as well.
Thank you, glad you liked it ❤️
The official video for this one is wicked !!
Im with you on this song.
I was surprised babymetal caught me by surprise. They're like Ghost.
At 08.00 ,in the videoclip of the song she is pulling out a knife from her microphone
Wow ♥
I love this song so much and by the thumb I see you got emotional ❤️. Love your reactions
Thank you so much
You sound like a proud Mama!
If you haven’t already, do Starlight (official video) by Babymetal. That one gets me every time.
Wholesome reaction! Great job!
Thank you, glad you liked it ❤️
BABYMETAL will get you a thumbs up every time!!!
Glad you liked it
I love this song because it hits in three very different directions it just shreds, it’s great to sing along to and it tells a very understated part of Japanese culture that the woman is supposed to be strong, and be beautiful and kind all at once yet never say anything, aka the fox god being deceptive.
Right? ❤️
Babymetal was built and gear for live performance, Megitsune just prove me right.
The insanity amount of energy is... pfouuuuu Oo
its the lyrics that got you : ) women shouldnt be underestimated :)
this is my favorit song thank you for reaction🔥👍
Glad you liked it
I was hesitant to check out new stuff.
But they're better than ever. Dance, band, crowd. All tight af
I remember being in the chat when you recorded this. lol Good times. Keep it metal. \m/
Thank you ❤️
Saw them this week. Can confirm, her vocals are still on point. Shes lost a little at the top end but gained more lower so sustains her mids better now rather than the highs.
