@@DyadintheForce I agree with Element7. Akatsuki is actually a good song (lets be honest here, all their songs are awesome though). But No Rain, No Rainbow will blow your mind, and probably produce a few more tears, no joke.
Wow, that blew up. Thank you very much for all the nice comments and reactions and suggestions. I will go through and try to learn more about the band, and of course react to some more Bebi -meta -ru :D
Budokan Live, watch the whole show, you will be blown away. Incidentally, the band is the Kami Band. The young drummer is Hideki and is likely the fastest drummer in the world.
Excellent reaction - and I think I could actually see the hairs on your arms standing up when Su hit her first "Hashire" at the end of the song. She sounds even better live. Babymetal are truly unique and do things no other band can do. They also incorporate all different finds of metal in their songs from power to speed, black to death, Viking to prog and more and within some songs they will also mix other musical genres when you least expect it. They are primarily a live performance act, their live shows range from small, intimate venues to spectacular arena shows with fire and flame and every time they are full of energy getting the audience fully involved so they are almost as much a part of the show as the band. I will just add a bit more info on the name Babymetal as it confuses a lot of us in the west when we first hear it and we think all the wrong things. They adopted this name for a couple of reasons (and not because they were so young when they started): 1) It signifies the birth of a new genre, kawaii-metal (or 'cute' as in adorable metal). 2) It is a play on words. Babymetal and heavy metal are pronounced virtually the same in Japan - something like Bebimetaru and Hebimetaru - also when written in Japanese characters the difference is one tiny mark above the first character. If both are written in Katakana: ベビーメタル is Babymetal ヘビーメタル is Heavymetal
@@LeechTMReacts There's a good series of videos put out by a Japanese musician that attempts to help Westerners learn Japanese by using Babymetal songs that you might be interested in - helps with the pronunciations and the play on words that they use - th-cam.com/channels/eeYFENBJY0_aTEa1r-FjMA.htmlvideos
hahahaha first time reactors!! they never see it coming do they (rolling around in hysterical tears and aching belly hahahahah!!!) this is why I love watching first time reaction videos of babymetal
Loved that reaction. You know we were all waiting for the brain-melt moment when Yui & Moa start singing. Priceless. Then Su nails you to the wall and gives you "full body chills" You are staring down the Fox Hole my friend and we are all in there shouting come join us. React to anything live, you will immediately understand why.
In this music video the lead singer is Su-Metal who was 18 years old in the video the one with the ponytail and she’s 21 years old now. YuiMetal the one with the glove on the right hand she was 16 years old in this video and she is 20 years old now but she is no longer in Babymetal because of poor health. MoaMetal the one with the glove on the left hand was 16 years old in this video and she is 20 years old now.
They are around since 2010. Originally established as a trio with Suzuka Nakamoto (aka. SU-METAL, lead vocals) and Yui Mizuno / Moa Kikuchi (YUIMETAL / MOAMETAL, backing vocals and dance) they were complemented by the end of 2013 by a backing band called Kami-Band (Band of Gods). They already have four albums out. Two studio albums ("BABYMETAL" rel. 2014 and "Metal Resistance" rel. 2016) and two live albums ("Live at Budokan - Red Night Apocalypse" rel. 2014? and "Live at Wembley" rel. 2016). October this year they will release their third studio album. A double-album named "Metal Galaxy" (with many of featured artists by the way). P.S.: Please follow Snarky Metal's recommendations!
Very nice what you said about Su's voice! She's awesome, we all love her! I have been listening to them every single day for about two years now, and some songs still make me cry. Her voice is so beautiful, and she knows how to deliver the emotions as well. Many people go through three stages when listening to their first three BABYMETAL songs: 1. WTF? 2. That's quite interesting, how do they make that work?. 3. Oh my god, I love it! I have the feeling you won't be an exception. :-) The hand sign they are doing is actually a fox sign. They have some fun lore about the fox god sending them to earth to unite the world in Kawaii Metal. Sounds a bit strange, but in the end it's all about fun. And that's what they represent first and foremost, in my opinion. Few (Metal-) bands will make you smile like they do. This is actually one of their less experimental songs, others combine Metal not just with J-Pop, but also EDM, Reggae, Ska, Hip Hop, Dubstep... They are never boring, no two songs sound the same. But the best is yet to come: They are a phantastic live band! There's really nothing to criticize, every aspect of their live performances is awesome. I'm sure you'll agree once you have seen them. "Road of Resistance" is a good example to check out: th-cam.com/video/zTEYUFgLveY/w-d-xo.html. Looking forward to accompanying you on your journey! Grüße aus Deutschland! :-)
every time I hear this song it gives me goosebumps... Su's voice in the chorus is incredible... it always takes me to another dimension... but the most powerful part of this video is when Su helps Mo and Yui get up. ..it makes me cry, it symbolizes friendship where one supports the other...
good reaction :D next one should be "Road of Resistance live in Japan" this track was co-written with Dragonforce's Herman Li and Sam Totman who contributed guitarparts for the studio version! You'll love it! and afterwards "Rondo of Nightmare (with mischiefs of the metal gods intro)" They look younger then they are, in this video Su was already 18 and both Yui and Moa where 16 years old! now Su is already 21, Yui and Moa are both 20. i guess you're german? your accent hints that way :D
@@LeechTMReacts haha, ich hör den raus, weil ich den gleichen akzent hab xD BABYMETAL spielt nächsten februar in Wien, Köln, Hamburg und Berlin, wenn se dir echt gefallen, hol dir ne karte, live sind sie noch tausendmal besser! :D www.babymetal.com/en/tour/?page=4
@@LeechTMReacts May I suggest this version ( www.dailymotion.com/video/k3YQmWzZEMUBIMpcbya ) if you are going to react to Rondo Of Nightmare? I'd love to be able to see a reaction to this as the reaction community generally overlooks Babymetal live performances outside of TH-cam and just discovering this version it definitely needs more recognition as a whole. Btw the website will autoplay the next video in the queue at the end so be sure to look out for that
BABYMETAL are the biggest metal group from Japan. Since 2014, they have become a worldwide phenomenon (they've been together since 2010). They are going on there 4th US tour this September with AVATAR as support. They've also previously supported The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallica, Guns N Roses, Stone Sour, and Korn on their respected tours. Also collaborated with Rob Halford of Judas Priest by performing "Painkiller" & "Breaking the Law" together on stage in Ohio. The three girls names are Suzuka Nakamoto 21 (Su-Metal, lead singer), Yui Mizuno 20(Yuimetal, scream & dance on the left, no longer with the band), and Moa Kikuchi 20 (Moametal, scream & dance on the right). The other band members are Takayoshi Ohmura (Guitar), Leda (Guitar), ISAO (Guitar), Mikio Fujioka (Guitar, RIP passed away in January 2018), BOH (Bass), Hideki Aoyama (Drums). Their genre of music, they pioneered, is called "Kawaii Metal" (Kawaii meaning cute in Japanese). It's a fusion of Japanese Pop and Heavy Metal. They started performing at very young ages (Su was only 5yo). BABYMETAL formed as part of an idol group (Sakura Gakuin) originally in 2010 when the girls were 11, 11, and 12. In 2013, the main singer became too old for the idol group and had to "graduate" out of the group. BUT, their manager/creator of the group (Key Kobayashi aka Koba-Metal) saw its huge potential, and he decided to turn the group into a real band to keep the original members together forever. That's also the year they gained new members of the band called the Kami Band (God Band). Made up of some of the best musicians in the world (which takes there live shows into the realm of legend). BABYMETAL became really popular, and by the end of 2014 were a worldwide phenomenon. Their popularity is still growing and shows no sign of stopping. Multiple world tours and have sold out arenas (even played live on US national television on the Colbert Late Show in 2016). One of the core members, YUIMETAL (Yui Mizuno) left the group in Oct 2018 after a long 1 year absence from the band due to health reasons. The core members now consist of just Su and Moa as duo. They have 3 rotating dancers (avengers) that fill in the empty 3rd position during live shows. They are Riho Sayashi (former member of Morning Musume), Kano Fujihira (Member of Sakura Gakuin), and Momoko Okazaki (former member of Sakura Gakuin). They've toured all over the world, have won countless music awards all over the world (Metal Hammer Magazine even named their debut self-titled album "Best Metal Album of the 21st Century"), and have opened for The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Lady GaGa, Metallica, Guns N Roses, Korn, Stone Sour, and have shared the stage with Rob Halford of Judas Priest, and Dragonforce. All have signed off and credited BABYMETAL as being a legit/talented band.
They are very talented. But its intersting that they only collaborate with the "old" Guard of the Metalworld, and none of the newer Bands. Thanks for all the Info you put together.
@@LeechTMReacts Well in recent news, their new album METAL GALAXY comes out Oct 11th. And on it they are collaborating with Joakim Brodén from Sabaton, Tim Henson and Scott LePage from Polyphia, and Alissa White-Gluz from Arch Enemy. loudwire.com/babymetal-galaxy-track-listing-guests/
right now you are in the middle of " WTF " moment for first time watching BABYMETAL video. do not panic , just relax and breathe ..... now , if you think this video is cool then try watch their live performance video it's 100x much much E P I C and everyone already give you some link to their Live videos , just wait for few more hours your comment section will full with info , history and much more about Babymetal.
That "what the fuck" moment happens to everyone without exception. It's like losing your car keys and spending an hour looking for them...and they were in your pocket the whole time.
check more song of BabyMetal, for crowd song ( song that make crowd follow the beat or lyric ) they have "Headbanger and "iine", for good combination of the singer and the band they have "Akatsuki" and for beauty and dark for the same time they have "Rondo of Nightmare"
I went to karate for a day, and all I can say is that they use all moves that I learned that day. so basically their choreography is filled with karate stances and moves, pretty cool. but obvious to see with that songtitle. :P btw.. this "babymetal" was just a sideproject in a pop agency of their girlgroup . they all modelled since age of 4 ish and later on joined an agency for pop music, where they also created this project here.
Lady Gaga, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Korn, Metallica, Guns n Roses, Rob Halford (nice Painkiller and Breaking the Law), Judas Priest, Skrillex, Stone Sour, and Dragonforce.. These are the acts I can recall off hand that they have either opened a show or done full scale tours with. Most they have live footage where the other groups members dressed in the robes and face paint to become members .. Chad-Metal, Josh-Metal .. etc …
Great reaction man and welcome to the amazing world of Babymetal! Babymetal is Japanese band that mix the idol (jpop) with Metal, they invented their own genre called Kawaii-Metal, Kawaii means "cute" they are one of a kind band and the most amazing thing about them is that they are even better live, Babymetal is an experience, they use almost all the metal subgenres in their songs, no one song is like the other... they already win awards of "the best live act" from some of the best metal magazines in the world, they are legit man! and their backing band "The Kami Band" (Band of god) are some of the best musicians that Japan can bring, they literally are "gods" in their instruments... like others says react to Babymetal Road of Resistance live in Japan, i think you gonna like that video.
I had the biggest smile when you got goosebumps cause I literally get them everytime I hear this song lmao it's not like it's my most favorite song ever but sonically it's sooo great!
Hi Leech! Great reaction! Thanks for checking out my favorite band BABYMETAL! Karate is the song that really got me into them. I'd known about them for about a year but dismissed them as a gimmick band, but after watching this video I was hooked. Karate is a song about fighting your inner demons and pressing on no matter what life throws at you: "Even if tears spill from our eyes, we stand up and fight! We will fight with all our heart, with our fists more, with our spirits more, with making all sharper. Never stopping we'll fight, even if our spirits are broken and we can no longer stand up." BABYMETAL is legit, and even though this music video is one of their better ones, they are best experienced live. They're more performance artists than recording artists and their main focus is live shows. Their backing "Kami Band" is some of the best metal musicians from Japan. Here's my recommendations: "Ijime, Dame, Zettai" live at Sonisphere 2014 UK - They booked a smaller side stage but were bumped up to the main stage because some other band pulled out. This was their first big performance in the west and the girls were terrified on how the UK metal heads would react to them. "Rondo of Nightmare with Mischiefs of God Intro" Budokan Black Night - This is a Su-Metal (lead singer) solo, but it shows off the Kami Band. "Road of Resistance" Live in Japan - This is how BABYMETAL ends an arena show. They have two albums released (the self titled "BABYMETAL", and "METAL RESISTANCE") with a third coming out in October called "METAL GALAXY". They're also kicking off tours in the US in Sept and Europe in 2020. If you like what you see you should check them out live!
Thanks for the History Info, and the instant translation. I could somehow figure out what was going on through my 20 years of watching anime in OV + Subtiles, but your translation made it clearer. I will look into 1 or 2 more of there Live performances in the near future. :)
You hit upon a nerve (a good one) when you reacted to Babymetal. The fans are passionate and will come out in droves to watch your reactions if you do more. Your video already showed up on the Babymetal Reaction Videos subreddit. Babymetal has fans from ages 7 to 70 (and probably beyond).
thanks, i find it quite interesting that there is a Babymetal Reaction Subreddit, and i saw my video and the nice comment underneath it. The Internet is great :D
4:34 OMG Ahahahahaha! (≧▽≦) you had a point. Yes Yes Yes, this girls are so talented, so YuiMoa can make you confuse, Suzuka voice pierced Tokyo dome soundproof wall!! please more react I want to watch.
Yes I can confirm SU-METAL s voice easily penetrate walls. I was at the BABYMETAL concert in Bologna Italy a few tears ago and I go away from the queue a short moment to get food. When I get back to the venue from the stage side BABYMETAL do a soundcheck. SU-METALSs voice sound *so clear* through the wall, it is like it was made from thin rice-paper, not the solid corrugated steel it was actually made from. Amazing...
Fantastic reaction been a fan a while now and i still get the chills , goosebumps ,well up with tears at some of there songs and performances . BabyMetal are in my opinion best live . They have won countless awards including Best live Band 2016 and 2017 . You may have noticed the One( name of fan base)are paying you a vist with loads of info and suggestions . Road of Resistance live in Japan is a very good choice for next reaction. They are touring Europe again next year in February try to see them and get tickets early they always sell out . I will be seeing them again in February 2020 ,just sèen them in 2nd July at Brixton academy in London . Welcome to the foxhole and enjoy your Babymetal journey . 🤘😁🤘 .
The lead singer has one of the most beautiful and haunting metal voices I've ever heard and I've been listening to metal for over 4 decades. I don't need to know what she's saying, I just need to hear her sing it to get the vibe.
Absolutely. I`m not sure if she could be replaced, or if there is any replacement for her. But if so, i am pretty sure there will be a lot of backlash from the fans.
Speechless... exactly. I was speechless when I discovered this group. They are coming to France for the HELLHEST 2020... I can't wait to see this "METAL UFO"! And this excitement is pretty strange to me! ahah
Wow. Great reaction! The lead singer is Suzuka Nakamoto and she is amazing. She moves people to tears all the time. If you want to hear the power of her voice: Rondo of Nightmare with Mischief of Metal Gods Intro Live at Budokan Akatsuki Live at Budokan Megitsune MV Road of Resistance Live in Japan Official Some great songs of theirs: Yava! My favorite song. Tales of the Destinies Live at Tokyo Dome
wow schon beim ersten lied tränen in den augen :D du wirst so leiden. bin 31 und höre seit 15 jahren metal. babymetal kenn ich seit 3 monaten ca. und feier sie so dermaßen. die shows in japan sind der wahnsinn. jedes lied verursacht so eine melancholische glücklichkeit die jeden berührt. sag bescheid dann schick ich dir die MUST-watch-videos :)
This may be my favorite react-to-Babymetal video because I figured it was in Germany, and then...I heard the church bells through the open window, which brings positive Germany memories back to me. Also the reaction was a fair amount like my own. I love "The One", but I haven't seen if you've reacted to that song yet. No spoilers either way and greetings from the west coast of the US! EDIT: I see The One has been reacted to. I like how it reminds me of We Are The Champions, very anthemic, but I also agree with you that the best songs have a hook to them and are just freaking catchy. I *also* concur that more comes through if one doesn't understand the sung language. At the same time, my brain searches like crazy to find some familiar Japanese to latch onto. Sadly, my Japanese vocab is nowhere near my German. I remain absolutely convinced that the best way to work one's way into a learned language is through song lyrics. In pop music or even across genres, the most frequent words are pretty standard - I/me, you, love, forget, remember, heart, head, hello, goodbye, etc. In Japanese I noticed that the word for "protect" pops up a lot, but maybe my data sample is small. Because of restrictive copyright, I had to mostly let Japanese music go and switch to Korean, which I don't speak at all. Babymetal has bucked the trend and is actually available to purchase to US residents. I am so encouraged and I have missed Japanese lyrics. Yes, these are the ramblings of a professional language person, but since the Internet skews so heavily to English it's never not-relevant. :)
Su does indeed have a really gorgeous voice. If you wanna hear an example of her REALLY belting it out, listen to the song "Ijime, Dame, Zettai". About 45 seconds in Su kicks off. And it's AWESOME.
In answer to your question about what language they're singing in, it is Japanese that they're singing in As for the music, it's described by their record label as "Kawaii Metal" which translates as "Cute Metal" and it's a blend of Jpop (Japanese Pop) and a number of other genres (EDM, Hip Hop,all the different types of Metal and so forth) Other Babymetal songs that you should check out: Doki Doki Morning (Which predates the song " Karate"that you had just you reviewed) Ijime Dame Zettai Chocolate Headbanger (thranslated in Japanese as "Heddoban") The One Megitsune (translation: Fox Women)
Was so impressed/delighted/surprised/excited by BABYMETAL, I made a playlist. Live versions of their first album, live versions of their second album, some extras, and a few official videos. But the first video in the list is a trailer of their 2014 tour. Consider it a showcase of what's to follow. th-cam.com/video/j6cC01au1RY/w-d-xo.html Was blown away by several things. The musicians are world-class! Damn, those guys can play! Great composition and arrangement of songs. Catchy as hell :p The girls ooze enjoyment, energy and talent. They always get the audiences on board. And check those crowds! Just makes you want to be there. After hearing version upon version of things that had already been done a thousand times in metal, hearing BABYMETAL was incredibly refreshing. And I'm really glad this band is around. Be sure to check out 'Rondo of Nightmare (with Mischiefs of God intro)' ;)
They're definitely differend and strange, but they're also amazing. I actually get "give me chocolate" stuck in my head from time to time. Glad you got to experience the proverbial mind fuck that is combining super crunchy metal and Japanese pop.
The hand sign is symbolic of the Fox God, not the usual metal horns. The Fox God is benevolent and wants to save metal, he's not an evil demon.... In East Asian culture, the Nine-Tail Fox God is very powerful and a mischievous character...This is why Kawaii metal is fun, not gloomy and sombre. Kitsune up, Po!
If you think the singer's voice is good in this video, try watching the live version of Karate at Download 2016 or Akatsuki live at Budokan, your ears will melt.
From this same album: 'No Rain, No Rainbow' is a rock ballad that really highlights the singer's voice. Unconventional choice, but it's a great song. th-cam.com/video/pDgqo6fcliY/w-d-xo.html
Interesting reaction, you make me remember my 1st impacts with this band, this song was one of the 1st i listened and yes i got (still got) chills listening to SU -Metal (main vocalist) voice and the sound and the choerography, this group is unique and you will find metal in its various characteristics but always Kawai Metal (the term the girls gives to this new genre which means Cute Metal). you will find some prog metal like "Tales of Destiny" immediately you will recognize the referring band and going on recently they did an extraordinary song mixing Indian style with Metal i mean they experiments in various directions and this to me is also a beauty of this band, i love their production both studio and live but live is something different they reach the top in live. Go on on the journey you will discover a lot. Oh i forgot to say they are touring (World Tour) and they have 20 dates in USA, i will go in Austria the next to my country
Thanks for the Infos. Do they produce / write their Music by themselves, or is this some kind of "Project" and all the Girls / Bandmembers could be easily replaced?
@@LeechTMReacts It is not a "project" in the way we might understand it and no the girls are not easily replaced. The whole thing was formed around the lead singer with her extraordinary voice and talents. The three of them started together in 2010 as a sub-unit of an Idol group but separated from that group to become a band in their own right in 2013 when Su-metal, the lead singer, was 15 and had to graduate from the original group - Babymetal went with her. One of the girls (Yuimetal) was absent from the stage through ill health for 12 months after October 2017, missing the special shows for Su's 20th birthday in December 2017 and all of the US/World tour in 2018. She announced in October 2018 just before the tour finale in Japan that she would be leaving the band as she was still not fully recovered. She has still not been replaced. This year they have introduced 3 dancers who take her spot on stage in turn, but no permanent replacement. I think that answers one of your questions. The Kami Band also has more than the 4 members you will see on stage at any one time. There are the regulars (until his untimely death in January 2018 Mikio Fujioka (RIP) on guitar, BOH on bass, Hideki Aoyama on drums, Takayoshi Ohmura, Leda Cygnus and ISAO on guitars) plus another small handful of musicians who can step in if necessary - they all play with Babymetal when their own projects and other bands they might play with don't clash. Their producer gets the best song writers to write for them, so they don't write them themselves but they are their own songs written specifically for them. So far the girls (Yuimetal and Moametal as "Black Babymetal") have full writing credits for just one of their songs - '4 No Uta' or 'Song 4' - which they would perform as a duet without Su-metal.
@@LeechTMReacts well i think its more a project but the main girls (Su-Metal and Moa-Metal) help to shape the design of the songs and probably the rest (choreography) and this girls cant be replaced or the band is another kind of thing, instead guitarrist have been replaced or swapped coz them are also involved in other projects but actually the band is almost stable
I absolutely love this reaction! This is what I watch reaction videos for. This reaction is almost the exact same thing that happened to me. My first song was Gimme Chocolate. Your brain has to stop for a moment to actually process wtf you just saw and heard. At the end of it you realize it gave you "the feels" and you re-watch the video so your brain can confirm it all. Then you need more. It usually takes a couple of songs before it hits you fully that this is some crazy good stuff. The girls are very kawaii (cute), the band slays, the video production is epic, the song structure is creative and professional, the vocals are superb, and the fans are deeply devoted. Most everyone is going to tell you to react to Road of Resistance Live in Japan next. Unbelievable live performance. I agree, but after that I would recommend Rondo of Nightmare with the Mischief of the God's intro. The Kami band behind the girls get some solos in before the lead singer Su-metal comes on with a solo. Eventually you will get to Headbanger the legend of 1997 or even Headbanger official, both are great. Thank you for a fantastic reaction video! I really enjoyed this a lot!
@@LeechTMReacts The story that goes around ist that, Koba (the main guy behind Babymetal) showed the girls the "metal horns" but they didn't quite get it the first time, and thought it just looked like a Fox.. so, it became the "Fox sign" (there's a whole Lore about the Fox-god leading them and so on.. as Foxes have a deep meaning in Japan)
8:43 That reaction x'D Love your videos! ^^ Can you turn on the subtitles, please? Even though automatic subtitles aren't great, they help a lot for non-English speakers. :)
Start with some older songs when they were young Megitsune, Headbanger, Ijime Dame Zettai you'll appreciate the maturing of Su's voice when listening to the newer stuff
TH-cam recommended this to me and due to your accent I guess your mother tongue is german? In case you were wondering if they have concerts in europe, yes, they do. I think they are starting a world tour soon and I'll see them in Vienna in february, cant wait
@@LeechTMReacts Das war mal ne flotte Antwort :D I stumbled upon the band when a metal pub I was at suddenly played the song "megitsune", without doubt, it was weird and we were making fun outta it, but i started listening to them pretty fast. I still think its somewhat weird, but also kinda lovely I guess. And when I saw they are playing in Austria I just had to go for it and grab a ticket
Welcome to the start of your desent down the Fox Hole. Next watch Road of Resistance. Also if you want another Japanese metal band try "Unlucky Morpheus - Black Pentagam" or if you don't mind heavy rock "Band Maid - Play (live)"
If you like the voice of the main siger, Akatsuki live in budokan is one of the best song where she shows her beutiful voice.

@@LeechTMReacts Road of Resistance LIVE IN JAPAN will blow your mind.
Excellent reaction - and I think I could actually see the hairs on your arms standing up when Su hit her first "Hashire" at the end of the song. She sounds even better live.
Babymetal are truly unique and do things no other band can do. They also incorporate all different finds of metal in their songs from power to speed, black to death, Viking to prog and more and within some songs they will also mix other musical genres when you least expect it.
They are primarily a live performance act, their live shows range from small, intimate venues to spectacular arena shows with fire and flame and every time they are full of energy getting the audience fully involved so they are almost as much a part of the show as the band.
I will just add a bit more info on the name Babymetal as it confuses a lot of us in the west when we first hear it and we think all the wrong things. They adopted this name for a couple of reasons (and not because they were so young when they started):
1) It signifies the birth of a new genre, kawaii-metal (or 'cute' as in adorable metal).
2) It is a play on words. Babymetal and heavy metal are pronounced virtually the same in Japan - something like Bebimetaru and Hebimetaru - also when written in Japanese characters the difference is one tiny mark above the first character. If both are written in Katakana:
ベビーメタル is Babymetal
ヘビーメタル is Heavymetal
i so love to try to pronounce the Japanese words. Be-bi-metaru :D
@@LeechTMReacts There's a good series of videos put out by a Japanese musician that attempts to help Westerners learn Japanese by using Babymetal songs that you might be interested in - helps with the pronunciations and the play on words that they use - th-cam.com/channels/eeYFENBJY0_aTEa1r-FjMA.htmlvideos
hahahaha first time reactors!!
they never see it coming do they
(rolling around in hysterical tears and aching belly hahahahah!!!)
this is why I love watching first time reaction videos of babymetal
I love watching someone react to baby metal for the first time... always a smile and a WTF look
I watched Baby Metal live at the Aftershock Festival in 2019 in Sacramento CA in the USA. I'll never forget it!
Loved that reaction. You know we were all waiting for the brain-melt moment when Yui & Moa start singing. Priceless. Then Su nails you to the wall and gives you "full body chills" You are staring down the Fox Hole my friend and we are all in there shouting come join us.
React to anything live, you will immediately understand why.
In this music video the lead singer is Su-Metal who was 18 years old in the video the one with the ponytail and she’s 21 years old now. YuiMetal the one with the glove on the right hand she was 16 years old in this video and she is 20 years old now but she is no longer in Babymetal because of poor health. MoaMetal the one with the glove on the left hand was 16 years old in this video and she is 20 years old now.
They are around since 2010. Originally established as a trio with Suzuka Nakamoto (aka. SU-METAL, lead vocals) and Yui Mizuno / Moa Kikuchi (YUIMETAL / MOAMETAL, backing vocals and dance) they were complemented by the end of 2013 by a backing band called Kami-Band (Band of Gods).
They already have four albums out. Two studio albums ("BABYMETAL" rel. 2014 and "Metal Resistance" rel. 2016) and two live albums ("Live at Budokan - Red Night Apocalypse" rel. 2014? and "Live at Wembley" rel. 2016). October this year they will release their third studio album. A double-album named "Metal Galaxy" (with many of featured artists by the way).
P.S.: Please follow Snarky Metal's recommendations!
I will definitly check out one of the 2 Live Versions. And i am looking forward to the new Album, is there already a date announced?
October 11th. You can preorder at the usual suspects incl. EMP and Amazon.
@@steffenjachnow8176 thanks :)
My pleasure!
Very nice what you said about Su's voice! She's awesome, we all love her! I have been listening to them every single day for about two years now, and some songs still make me cry. Her voice is so beautiful, and she knows how to deliver the emotions as well.
Many people go through three stages when listening to their first three BABYMETAL songs: 1. WTF? 2. That's quite interesting, how do they make that work?. 3. Oh my god, I love it! I have the feeling you won't be an exception. :-)
The hand sign they are doing is actually a fox sign. They have some fun lore about the fox god sending them to earth to unite the world in Kawaii Metal. Sounds a bit strange, but in the end it's all about fun. And that's what they represent first and foremost, in my opinion. Few (Metal-) bands will make you smile like they do.
This is actually one of their less experimental songs, others combine Metal not just with J-Pop, but also EDM, Reggae, Ska, Hip Hop, Dubstep... They are never boring, no two songs sound the same.
But the best is yet to come: They are a phantastic live band! There's really nothing to criticize, every aspect of their live performances is awesome. I'm sure you'll agree once you have seen them. "Road of Resistance" is a good example to check out: th-cam.com/video/zTEYUFgLveY/w-d-xo.html. Looking forward to accompanying you on your journey!
Grüße aus Deutschland! :-)
thanks, i definitly will check out Road to Resistance, since 500 Million People here in the Comments said i had to :D
every time I hear this song it gives me goosebumps... Su's voice in the chorus is incredible... it always takes me to another dimension... but the most powerful part of this video is when Su helps Mo and Yui get up. ..it makes me cry, it symbolizes friendship where one supports the other...
good reaction :D
next one should be "Road of Resistance live in Japan"
this track was co-written with Dragonforce's Herman Li and Sam Totman who contributed guitarparts for the studio version!
You'll love it!
and afterwards "Rondo of Nightmare (with mischiefs of the metal gods intro)"
They look younger then they are, in this video Su was already 18 and both Yui and Moa where 16 years old!
now Su is already 21, Yui and Moa are both 20.
i guess you're german? your accent hints that way :D
I am, but as always, i thought my accents actually wasnt that visible :) Thanks for the Suggestions. I`ll write them onto my list.
@@LeechTMReacts haha, ich hör den raus, weil ich den gleichen akzent hab xD
BABYMETAL spielt nächsten februar in Wien, Köln, Hamburg und Berlin, wenn se dir echt gefallen, hol dir ne karte, live sind sie noch tausendmal besser! :D

@@LeechTMReacts May I suggest this version ( www.dailymotion.com/video/k3YQmWzZEMUBIMpcbya ) if you are going to react to Rondo Of Nightmare? I'd love to be able to see a reaction to this as the reaction community generally overlooks Babymetal live performances outside of TH-cam and just discovering this version it definitely needs more recognition as a whole.
Btw the website will autoplay the next video in the queue at the end so be sure to look out for that
@@LeechTMReacts Those are great suggestions Road of Resistance Live in Japan is their epic masterpiece.
> i thought my accents actually wasnt that visible
Well... He is :p
Awesome reaction! Loved it! Yeah that was pretty much my first reacting to hearing Su sing too. That young woman has pipes!!
I just love so much the first reactions to BABYMETAL!! 🤘🦊🤘
BABYMETAL are the biggest metal group from Japan. Since 2014, they have become a worldwide phenomenon (they've been together since 2010). They are going on there 4th US tour this September with AVATAR as support. They've also previously supported The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallica, Guns N Roses, Stone Sour, and Korn on their respected tours. Also collaborated with Rob Halford of Judas Priest by performing "Painkiller" & "Breaking the Law" together on stage in Ohio.
The three girls names are Suzuka Nakamoto 21 (Su-Metal, lead singer), Yui Mizuno 20(Yuimetal, scream & dance on the left, no longer with the band), and Moa Kikuchi 20 (Moametal, scream & dance on the right). The other band members are Takayoshi Ohmura (Guitar), Leda (Guitar), ISAO (Guitar), Mikio Fujioka (Guitar, RIP passed away in January 2018), BOH (Bass), Hideki Aoyama (Drums). Their genre of music, they pioneered, is called "Kawaii Metal" (Kawaii meaning cute in Japanese). It's a fusion of Japanese Pop and Heavy Metal.
They started performing at very young ages (Su was only 5yo). BABYMETAL formed as part of an idol group (Sakura Gakuin) originally in 2010 when the girls were 11, 11, and 12. In 2013, the main singer became too old for the idol group and had to "graduate" out of the group. BUT, their manager/creator of the group (Key Kobayashi aka Koba-Metal) saw its huge potential, and he decided to turn the group into a real band to keep the original members together forever. That's also the year they gained new members of the band called the Kami Band (God Band). Made up of some of the best musicians in the world (which takes there live shows into the realm of legend).
BABYMETAL became really popular, and by the end of 2014 were a worldwide phenomenon. Their popularity is still growing and shows no sign of stopping. Multiple world tours and have sold out arenas (even played live on US national television on the Colbert Late Show in 2016).
One of the core members, YUIMETAL (Yui Mizuno) left the group in Oct 2018 after a long 1 year absence from the band due to health reasons. The core members now consist of just Su and Moa as duo. They have 3 rotating dancers (avengers) that fill in the empty 3rd position during live shows. They are Riho Sayashi (former member of Morning Musume), Kano Fujihira (Member of Sakura Gakuin), and Momoko Okazaki (former member of Sakura Gakuin).
They've toured all over the world, have won countless music awards all over the world (Metal Hammer Magazine even named their debut self-titled album "Best Metal Album of the 21st Century"), and have opened for The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Lady GaGa, Metallica, Guns N Roses, Korn, Stone Sour, and have shared the stage with Rob Halford of Judas Priest, and Dragonforce. All have signed off and credited BABYMETAL as being a legit/talented band.
They are very talented. But its intersting that they only collaborate with the "old" Guard of the Metalworld, and none of the newer Bands. Thanks for all the Info you put together.
@@LeechTMReacts Well in recent news, their new album METAL GALAXY comes out Oct 11th. And on it they are collaborating with Joakim Brodén from Sabaton, Tim Henson and Scott LePage from Polyphia, and Alissa White-Gluz from Arch Enemy. loudwire.com/babymetal-galaxy-track-listing-guests/
@@LeechTMReacts They are not the biggest metal band in Japan. They are in the "alternative idol" or "metal idol" genre.
right now you are in the middle of " WTF " moment for first time watching BABYMETAL video.
do not panic , just relax and breathe ..... now , if you think this video is cool then try watch their live performance video it's 100x much much E P I C and everyone already give you some link to their Live videos , just wait for few more hours your comment section will full with info , history and much more about Babymetal.
jupp, you where right with the history lesson :) but i got quite comfortable with the WTF.
you are off on a wonderful journey, my friend.. the lead singer, su-metal, makes us all cry and that hand gesture is the salute to the fox god.
thank you very much
I had the exact same emotional reaction man. Wow, pretty much exactly the same! Keep up the great wurk!!!
thanks :)
That "what the fuck" moment happens to everyone without exception. It's like losing your car keys and spending an hour looking for them...and they were in your pocket the whole time.
Allways so funny watching reacting ppl got theyr first Babymetal experience :)
Welcome in the Foxhole!
Only the greatest music gives you goosebumps and chills! Babymetal is like chills after chills.
check more song of BabyMetal, for crowd song ( song that make crowd follow the beat or lyric ) they have "Headbanger and "iine", for good combination of the singer and the band they have "Akatsuki" and for beauty and dark for the same time they have "Rondo of Nightmare"
will look into them more :)
I went to karate for a day, and all I can say is that they use all moves that I learned that day. so basically their choreography is filled with karate stances and moves, pretty cool. but obvious to see with that songtitle. :P btw.. this "babymetal" was just a sideproject in a pop agency of their girlgroup . they all modelled since age of 4 ish and later on joined an agency for pop music, where they also created this project here.
Goosebumps? Yes. Suzuka ain't called Goddess for nothing.
i love how speechless you got HAHA babymetal is amazing
Lady Gaga, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Korn, Metallica, Guns n Roses, Rob Halford (nice Painkiller and Breaking the Law), Judas Priest, Skrillex, Stone Sour, and Dragonforce.. These are the acts I can recall off hand that they have either opened a show or done full scale tours with. Most they have live footage where the other groups members dressed in the robes and face paint to become members .. Chad-Metal, Josh-Metal .. etc …
Great reaction man and welcome to the amazing world of Babymetal! Babymetal is Japanese band that mix the idol (jpop) with Metal, they invented their own genre called Kawaii-Metal, Kawaii means "cute" they are one of a kind band and the most amazing thing about them is that they are even better live, Babymetal is an experience, they use almost all the metal subgenres in their songs, no one song is like the other... they already win awards of "the best live act" from some of the best metal magazines in the world, they are legit man! and their backing band "The Kami Band" (Band of god) are some of the best musicians that Japan can bring, they literally are "gods" in their instruments... like others says react to Babymetal Road of Resistance live in Japan, i think you gonna like that video.
Will definitly check that video out.
Always more BabyMetal forever! :)
I had the biggest smile when you got goosebumps cause I literally get them everytime I hear this song lmao it's not like it's my most favorite song ever but sonically it's sooo great!
An other hint they are Japanese is that Karate is a Japanese martial arts form. :-)
Now that you say it, its kind of obvious :p
@@LeechTMReacts Babymetal has all kinds of cultural references, odes, tributes. You'll see. :-)
Su hit him right in the goosebumps! 🤘🤘🤘
Hi Leech! Great reaction! Thanks for checking out my favorite band BABYMETAL! Karate is the song that really got me into them. I'd known about them for about a year but dismissed them as a gimmick band, but after watching this video I was hooked. Karate is a song about fighting your inner demons and pressing on no matter what life throws at you: "Even if tears spill from our eyes, we stand up and fight! We will fight with all our heart, with our fists more, with our spirits more, with making all sharper. Never stopping we'll fight, even if our spirits are broken and we can no longer stand up."
BABYMETAL is legit, and even though this music video is one of their better ones, they are best experienced live. They're more performance artists than recording artists and their main focus is live shows. Their backing "Kami Band" is some of the best metal musicians from Japan. Here's my recommendations:
"Ijime, Dame, Zettai" live at Sonisphere 2014 UK - They booked a smaller side stage but were bumped up to the main stage because some other band pulled out. This was their first big performance in the west and the girls were terrified on how the UK metal heads would react to them.
"Rondo of Nightmare with Mischiefs of God Intro" Budokan Black Night - This is a Su-Metal (lead singer) solo, but it shows off the Kami Band.
"Road of Resistance" Live in Japan - This is how BABYMETAL ends an arena show.
They have two albums released (the self titled "BABYMETAL", and "METAL RESISTANCE") with a third coming out in October called "METAL GALAXY". They're also kicking off tours in the US in Sept and Europe in 2020. If you like what you see you should check them out live!
Thanks for the History Info, and the instant translation. I could somehow figure out what was going on through my 20 years of watching anime in OV + Subtiles, but your translation made it clearer. I will look into 1 or 2 more of there Live performances in the near future. :)
@@LeechTMReacts Can't wait to see them!
You hit upon a nerve (a good one) when you reacted to Babymetal. The fans are passionate and will come out in droves to watch your reactions if you do more. Your video already showed up on the Babymetal Reaction Videos subreddit. Babymetal has fans from ages 7 to 70 (and probably beyond).
thanks, i find it quite interesting that there is a Babymetal Reaction Subreddit, and i saw my video and the nice comment underneath it. The Internet is great :D
Best reaction I've ever seen on TH-cam actually. Sorry for calling you callous last time. Had so much fun to watch this.
no problem, it always depends on the song :) i am not one of those always super excited reactors :)
4:34 OMG Ahahahahaha! (≧▽≦) you had a point. Yes Yes Yes, this girls are so talented, so YuiMoa can make you confuse, Suzuka voice pierced Tokyo dome soundproof wall!! please more react I want to watch.
Yes I can confirm SU-METAL s voice easily penetrate walls. I was at the BABYMETAL concert in Bologna Italy a few tears ago and I go away from the queue a short moment to get food. When I get back to the venue from the stage side BABYMETAL do a soundcheck. SU-METALSs voice sound *so clear* through the wall, it is like it was made from thin rice-paper, not the solid corrugated steel it was actually made from. Amazing...
Great reaction sir
Nice reaction. Gimme Chocolate, Road of Resistance, or Pa Pa Ya!! Next please.
The expression on your face at 4:35 is the whole reason I watch Babymetal reaction vids.
It's the same for everyone the first time.
i got goosebumps too listening to su metal's voice
🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻 And she can belt(sing) that live. 🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻
That is pretty impressive. Have to check out some Live Footage.
Fantastic reaction been a fan a while now and i still get the chills , goosebumps ,well up with tears at some of there songs and performances . BabyMetal are in my opinion best live . They have won countless awards including Best live Band 2016 and 2017 .
You may have noticed the One( name of fan base)are paying you a vist with loads of info and suggestions . Road of Resistance live in Japan is a very good choice for next reaction. They are touring Europe again next year in February try to see them and get tickets early they always sell out . I will be seeing them again in February 2020 ,just sèen them in 2nd July at Brixton academy in London . Welcome to the foxhole and enjoy your Babymetal journey . 🤘😁🤘
.
Thank you very much, i have to see if i can catch them somewhere in Germany next year. Should be really interesting.
Oh you're up to quite a ride, let me tell you. Looking forward to the next videos ;)
same here, i get a slight feeling that i picked into a hornets nest :)
That's queen SU-METAL for you! :)
Queen Su-Metal from now on. Got it :D
The lead singer has one of the most beautiful and haunting metal voices I've ever heard and I've been listening to metal for over 4 decades. I don't need to know what she's saying, I just need to hear her sing it to get the vibe.
Glad to see someone else who gets goosebumps/chills from Suzuka Nakamoto (Su-metal's) singing.
The main singer SU, she is the key and the core of this group.
Absolutely. I`m not sure if she could be replaced, or if there is any replacement for her. But if so, i am pretty sure there will be a lot of backlash from the fans.
Yes, every time I get goosebumps at the last lool
That speechless moment everyone gets the first time they see a Baby Metal video. Lol.
Speechless... exactly. I was speechless when I discovered this group.
They are coming to France for the HELLHEST 2020... I can't wait to see this "METAL UFO"! And this excitement is pretty strange to me! ahah
Wow. Great reaction! The lead singer is Suzuka Nakamoto and she is amazing. She moves people to tears all the time.
If you want to hear the power of her voice:

Some great songs of theirs:
Yava! My favorite song.
Tales of the Destinies Live at Tokyo Dome
wow schon beim ersten lied tränen in den augen :D du wirst so leiden. bin 31 und höre seit 15 jahren metal. babymetal kenn ich seit 3 monaten ca. und feier sie so dermaßen. die shows in japan sind der wahnsinn. jedes lied verursacht so eine melancholische glücklichkeit die jeden berührt. sag bescheid dann schick ich dir die MUST-watch-videos :)
Was sind den deine Must-watch Songs?
This may be my favorite react-to-Babymetal video because I figured it was in Germany, and then...I heard the church bells through the open window, which brings positive Germany memories back to me. Also the reaction was a fair amount like my own. I love "The One", but I haven't seen if you've reacted to that song yet. No spoilers either way and greetings from the west coast of the US!
EDIT: I see The One has been reacted to. I like how it reminds me of We Are The Champions, very anthemic, but I also agree with you that the best songs have a hook to them and are just freaking catchy. I *also* concur that more comes through if one doesn't understand the sung language. At the same time, my brain searches like crazy to find some familiar Japanese to latch onto. Sadly, my Japanese vocab is nowhere near my German. I remain absolutely convinced that the best way to work one's way into a learned language is through song lyrics. In pop music or even across genres, the most frequent words are pretty standard - I/me, you, love, forget, remember, heart, head, hello, goodbye, etc. In Japanese I noticed that the word for "protect" pops up a lot, but maybe my data sample is small. Because of restrictive copyright, I had to mostly let Japanese music go and switch to Korean, which I don't speak at all. Babymetal has bucked the trend and is actually available to purchase to US residents. I am so encouraged and I have missed Japanese lyrics. Yes, these are the ramblings of a professional language person, but since the Internet skews so heavily to English it's never not-relevant. :)
Reaction again, babymetal - road resistance
will do, sooner or later (i know, sooner is better :D)
Watching these reactions never gets old :D
[edit] yeah man, goosebumps. Reminds me of me hearing this song for the first time.
Su does indeed have a really gorgeous voice. If you wanna hear an example of her REALLY belting it out, listen to the song "Ijime, Dame, Zettai". About 45 seconds in Su kicks off. And it's AWESOME.
Already reacted to this one 👍
Enjoy your Babymetal journey. We will enjoy watching.
1 minute in . . .
You're hooked already, enjoy the Babymetal journey
more babymetal please
If Karate gave you chills you need to try Rondo of nightmare (with the Kami band intro) it'll blow your mind :)
Thanks for the suggestion
You should see them live. They are touring Europe in early 2020, see here: www.babymetal.com/en/tour/?page=3 .
Road of Resistance live! If you had goosebumps here, you just wait! And bring us along for the ride!
already did that, you can watch in on my channel :)
Babymetal... side effects include goosebumps.
Also "No Rain, No Rainbow" is a lovely solo ballad from her
Love your reaction sir, very enjoyful, looking for another Babymetal or Band-Maid reaction.
In answer to your question about what language they're singing in, it is Japanese that they're singing in
As for the music, it's described by their record label as "Kawaii Metal" which translates as "Cute Metal" and it's a blend of Jpop (Japanese Pop) and a number of other genres (EDM, Hip Hop,all the different types of Metal and so forth)
Other Babymetal songs that you should check out:
Doki Doki Morning (Which predates the song " Karate"that you had just you reviewed)
Ijime Dame Zettai
Chocolate
Headbanger (thranslated in Japanese as "Heddoban")
The One
Megitsune (translation: Fox Women)
Yes another reaction to Baby Metal...! Thanks man!
I don't know why, but your reaction gave tears in my eyes
oh, i`m sorry and happy at the same time 🥴
5:04 yea ... misty eyes, common reaction to Su-Metals voice, also known as the Babymetal Effect :D
"Run with me!" - Su.
Was so impressed/delighted/surprised/excited by BABYMETAL, I made a playlist.
Live versions of their first album, live versions of their second album, some extras, and a few official videos.
But the first video in the list is a trailer of their 2014 tour. Consider it a showcase of what's to follow.
th-cam.com/video/j6cC01au1RY/w-d-xo.html
Was blown away by several things.
The musicians are world-class! Damn, those guys can play!
Great composition and arrangement of songs. Catchy as hell :p
The girls ooze enjoyment, energy and talent.
They always get the audiences on board. And check those crowds! Just makes you want to be there.
After hearing version upon version of things that had already been done a thousand times in metal, hearing BABYMETAL was incredibly refreshing.
And I'm really glad this band is around.
Be sure to check out 'Rondo of Nightmare (with Mischiefs of God intro)' ;)
If you don’t kinda cry during this song your world is empty and without hope.
They're definitely differend and strange, but they're also amazing. I actually get "give me chocolate" stuck in my head from time to time. Glad you got to experience the proverbial mind fuck that is combining super crunchy metal and Japanese pop.
Babymetal! Try Road of Resistance, Headbanger, Megitsune, Pa Pa Ya, just about ANYTHING by them is worth listening to.
Will check out the Live version of another Song soon. Thanks for the Suggestions.
i like your goosebump part reaction lol
Instant sub 👍
The hand sign is symbolic of the Fox God, not the usual metal horns. The Fox God is benevolent and wants to save metal, he's not an evil demon.... In East Asian culture, the Nine-Tail Fox God is very powerful and a mischievous character...This is why Kawaii metal is fun, not gloomy and sombre. Kitsune up, Po!
Good Job man, Nice reaction but THE rigth way to enjoy them is live versión like road of resistance, Akatsuki, ijime Damme zetai, megitsune, etc.
If you think the singer's voice is good in this video, try watching the live version of Karate at Download 2016 or Akatsuki live at Budokan, your ears will melt.
mhhhh.. melted ears, my favourite ^^
From this same album: 'No Rain, No Rainbow' is a rock ballad that really highlights the singer's voice. Unconventional choice, but it's a great song. th-cam.com/video/pDgqo6fcliY/w-d-xo.html
Interesting reaction, you make me remember my 1st impacts with this band, this song was one of the 1st i listened and yes i got (still got) chills listening to SU -Metal (main vocalist) voice and the sound and the choerography, this group is unique and you will find metal in its various characteristics but always Kawai Metal (the term the girls gives to this new genre which means Cute Metal). you will find some prog metal like "Tales of Destiny" immediately you will recognize the referring band and going on recently they did an extraordinary song mixing Indian style with Metal i mean they experiments in various directions and this to me is also a beauty of this band, i love their production both studio and live but live is something different they reach the top in live. Go on on the journey you will discover a lot. Oh i forgot to say they are touring (World Tour) and they have 20 dates in USA, i will go in Austria the next to my country
Thanks for the Infos. Do they produce / write their Music by themselves, or is this some kind of "Project" and all the Girls / Bandmembers could be easily replaced?
@@LeechTMReacts It is not a "project" in the way we might understand it and no the girls are not easily replaced. The whole thing was formed around the lead singer with her extraordinary voice and talents. The three of them started together in 2010 as a sub-unit of an Idol group but separated from that group to become a band in their own right in 2013 when Su-metal, the lead singer, was 15 and had to graduate from the original group - Babymetal went with her.
One of the girls (Yuimetal) was absent from the stage through ill health for 12 months after October 2017, missing the special shows for Su's 20th birthday in December 2017 and all of the US/World tour in 2018. She announced in October 2018 just before the tour finale in Japan that she would be leaving the band as she was still not fully recovered. She has still not been replaced. This year they have introduced 3 dancers who take her spot on stage in turn, but no permanent replacement. I think that answers one of your questions.
The Kami Band also has more than the 4 members you will see on stage at any one time. There are the regulars (until his untimely death in January 2018 Mikio Fujioka (RIP) on guitar, BOH on bass, Hideki Aoyama on drums, Takayoshi Ohmura, Leda Cygnus and ISAO on guitars) plus another small handful of musicians who can step in if necessary - they all play with Babymetal when their own projects and other bands they might play with don't clash.
Their producer gets the best song writers to write for them, so they don't write them themselves but they are their own songs written specifically for them. So far the girls (Yuimetal and Moametal as "Black Babymetal") have full writing credits for just one of their songs - '4 No Uta' or 'Song 4' - which they would perform as a duet without Su-metal.
@@LeechTMReacts well i think its more a project but the main girls (Su-Metal and Moa-Metal) help to shape the design of the songs and probably the rest (choreography) and this girls cant be replaced or the band is another kind of thing, instead guitarrist have been replaced or swapped coz them are also involved in other projects but actually the band is almost stable
Why do I feel like crying when listening to Karate 😂
I absolutely love this reaction! This is what I watch reaction videos for. This reaction is almost the exact same thing that happened to me. My first song was Gimme Chocolate. Your brain has to stop for a moment to actually process wtf you just saw and heard. At the end of it you realize it gave you "the feels" and you re-watch the video so your brain can confirm it all. Then you need more. It usually takes a couple of songs before it hits you fully that this is some crazy good stuff. The girls are very kawaii (cute), the band slays, the video production is epic, the song structure is creative and professional, the vocals are superb, and the fans are deeply devoted. Most everyone is going to tell you to react to Road of Resistance Live in Japan next. Unbelievable live performance. I agree, but after that I would recommend Rondo of Nightmare with the Mischief of the God's intro. The Kami band behind the girls get some solos in before the lead singer Su-metal comes on with a solo. Eventually you will get to Headbanger the legend of 1997 or even Headbanger official, both are great. Thank you for a fantastic reaction video! I really enjoyed this a lot!
Now watch BABYMETAL - "ROAD OF RESISTANCE - Live in Japan."
See you in the Foxhole!
The hand gesture is the fox god symbol not the metal horns .
So, its some kind of Identification Thing between Fans, right?
@@LeechTMReacts The story that goes around ist that, Koba (the main guy behind Babymetal) showed the girls the "metal horns" but they didn't quite get it the first time, and thought it just looked like a Fox.. so, it became the "Fox sign" (there's a whole Lore about the Fox-god leading them and so on.. as Foxes have a deep meaning in Japan)
8:43 That reaction x'D Love your videos! ^^
Can you turn on the subtitles, please? Even though automatic subtitles aren't great, they help a lot for non-English speakers. :)
I did not know that i have to activate them. Will do.
@@LeechTMReacts You do not have to, but if you do, it would be very appreciated. It helps a lot ^^
@@PetiteCamomille english subtitles should be available.
@@LeechTMReacts Thank you so much! ^^
Subbed for future goosebumps.
Start with some older songs when they were young Megitsune, Headbanger, Ijime Dame Zettai you'll appreciate the maturing of Su's voice when listening to the newer stuff
Yass, beauty and the beast music.. like nightwish that combine seriosa and scream.. this combine kawaii and metal..
They're Japanese and their style is called kawaii metal.
Fasten your neck brace, and enjoy your trip down the Fox Hole.
Really nice and, tbh, pretty normal reaction to Babymetal!
Keep it on!

Yep, german it is. I am Looking forward to a seeing them live next year aswell
@@LeechTMReacts Das war mal ne flotte Antwort :D
I stumbled upon the band when a metal pub I was at suddenly played the song "megitsune", without doubt, it was weird and we were making fun outta it, but i started listening to them pretty fast. I still think its somewhat weird, but also kinda lovely I guess. And when I saw they are playing in Austria I just had to go for it and grab a ticket
Welcome to the start of your desent down the Fox Hole. Next watch Road of Resistance.
Also if you want another Japanese metal band try "Unlucky Morpheus - Black Pentagam" or if you don't mind heavy rock "Band Maid - Play (live)"
Thanks for the Suggestion, wrote the 1st one down :)
Road of Resistance live in Japan is a MUST!!!!
