    the reason it sounds so much like Dragonforce is because It is Dragonforce!!
    Herman Li and Sam Totman helped write the Guitar parts, even played it live with them a couple diferent times!

      I'm pretty sure they only performed it with BABYMETAL once.
      That was at the Metal Hammer Golden Gods award show in 2015.
      DragonForce performed 'Gimme Chocolate!' at Download Festival in 2015 with the three BABYMETAL members.

    Great reaction, this song is an anthem for them. About the song itself. 'Road of Resistance' is a very positive song, it isn't the usual "resist the machine or the system etc" that we might expect from the title. It is about forging your own road even where a road doesn't already exist, not necessarily going the easy way or following the path already made by somebody else, so if the way you want to go has never been trodden you may have to get past the resistance of the undergrowth, obstacles, hurdles and things blocking your way etc to find your own way.
    It could easily be used to describe BABYMETAL's own story - they could have followed the well trodden path of J-Pop and been very successful, but they chose to go with Metal ... but again they didn't just follow the same old format of every other metal band, they have done it their own way and it hasn't always been an easy route to follow.
    As you know now Herman Li and Sam Totman from DragonForce did the guitar arrangements for this song (it is the only one they were involved in) and recorded the guitars for the album version. They did play it live together once at an awards show in London in 2015. Herman Li said they wrote the guitar parts to be faster and more technical than most of their own songs thinking they would never have to play it live - and they had to practice hard when they were told about the awards show.
    The PIA Arena concerts were amazing, but all their concerts are - even in the smaller venues they play as they tour the world. They may not have all the moving stages, lasers and pyro etc but they never give less than 100% effort , energy and quality. They appreciate people have paid often a lot of money and travelled a long way to see them and they always do their very best to make sure everybody gets good value for their money and efforts.
    There are no bad choices, every BABYMETAL song is top quality, so pick whatever titles appeal to you or follow whatever suggestions you get, you can't go wrong.

    It better sound like Dragonforce... since Li and Totman were involved doing the guitar arrangements for this one. They also play on the studio version. 🤭
    The two Pia Arena MM concerts, actually called BABYMETAL Begins - The Other ONE Black Night / Clear Night and also the two Legend-MM shows (20 & 21 Night) from 2024 are four of their best. But you will be surprised when you see they were already this good like 11 years ago... so here: "Akatsuki" (Live at Budokan Black Night): th-cam.com/video/g2372C5PJLM/w-d-xo.html

    Great reaction! If you like the PIA Arena show, you should check out "Ijimae, Dame, Zettai". The song is an anti-bullying song with very powerful lyrics...here is a link: th-cam.com/video/u1e-mDeiQjo/w-d-xo.html. Many fans (including me) suggest the 2014 version at Sonisphere in the UK. The song that really broke Babymetal out to a global audience. A double reaction to both versions would be lick-ass, and you could see the shows 10 years apart! Here is a link to that show too: th-cam.com/video/Ro-_cbfdrYE/w-d-xo.html. They always kill it! Consider the double reaction!

    Great reaction and obviously Babymetal is not a new band but that they are new for you. Well so glad you've discovered them. Your life will be a better place from now on. Ok, not sure if I'm the first to mention this (probably not) but the reason this has such Dragonforce sound is. Herman Li and Sam Totman arranged the guitar parts and then played those on the original album release. Everybody who knows metal and hears this hears the Dragonforce. I almost wish there was a disclaimer at the beginning stating the Li, Totman involvement. A couple of times I've seen reactors kinda go through the video thinking Babymetal was plagiarising Dragonforce not knowing the legit reason for the sound. But not you so kudos for that.
    At some point you owe it yourself to view the "Road of Resistance" live in Japan from 2015 performance. I and many others (i've seen their comments) consider this performance one of if not the best live performance they've ever seen. Count me in that category.
    Based on what you've reacted to and what you've enjoyed I feel really confident that you will love the performance I'm going to recommend. It is my current favorite live performance by Babymetal. I would call it a perfect performance. Everything, the ladies, singing, choreo, the Kami's, stage, lighting, audience participation. This performance is absolute fire from start to finish. It is "Arkadia, Legend MM, Live 2024: th-cam.com/video/as315wXm_u4/w-d-xo.html

    Of course, Herman Li and Sam Totman made the arrangements for this song in the studio version.
    Also in the past they performed this song with DragonForce as the band instead the Kami Band.

    This is a song about creating a path and following it when others are against you. It is considered an anthem about their own journey within metal with so many haters. In older versions including an iconic version when su-metal was 16 years old she shouts "bring it on".
    Of course, Babymetal is so big now they just enjoy, and of course su-metal has won female metal vocalist of 2024 getting twice the votes of the second place

    Babymetal singles chronology:-
    •"Megitsune" (2013).
    •"Road of Resistance" (2015).
    •"Gimme Chocolate!!" (2015).
    Background and release:-
    "Road of Resistance" includes guest appearances by DragonForce 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 guitarists Herman Li and Sam Totman.
    The song would be used to mark the beginning of the band's lore, Metal Resistance Episode III, at the concert held on November 8, 2014 at O2 Brixton Academy in London, which was also the final tour date for the band's Babymetal World Tour 2014.
    A trailer for the song was released on January 5, 2015, integrating footage from the debut performance of the song in London. The song was first released as a digital bonus track off the live album Live at Budokan: Red Night, with limited editions of the album containing a download card with a code to download the song at no additional charge. The song was later released as a dedicated digital single on the iTunes Store on February 1, 2015.
    Li and Totman are featured on guitars, although they are listed as featured artists in various regions of the re-release of the album Babymetal, on which the song appears as a bonus track, mainly in the United Kingdom.
    Composition:-
    Rolling Stone described the song as "power metal" with "shiny pop harmonies". Rock Sound called the song "everything we’d expect from [Babymetal] with a bit of Dragonforce’s exhilarating, flame-fingered guitar added in for good measure." Matt Evans of The List called the song an "empowering hyperspeed anthem". According to Kadokawa, the song consists of twin shred guitars courtesy of Li and Totman, with a dynamic sound derived of melodic speed metal. The lyrics are described as a narrative on the Metal Resistance, which the band adopted on their world tour. It has also been considered the "final stage" of Babymetal and the prologue to Metal Resistance, and a transition performance that demonstrates the band's growth from the previous album.
    According to Su-metal, the song refers to the Metal Resistance lore, described as "the story of Babymetal traveling across the world in the hopes of creating a new metal to unify the world as we break through the barriers of language and borders. In the middle of the song there is a part where we go, ‘Wow, Wow’ and this is where our fans from around the world can sing with us at our concerts. I hope people will listen to our album and support us at our shows." Yuimetal stated in an interview with Metal Hammer that "Road of Resistance" is her favorite song from Metal Resistance, explaining that it "has been performed at so many concerts, so a lot of memories are jam-packed. The lyrics are positive, the sound is so cool, and [the] dance is so powerful."

    This is considered their anthem song, and usually is the finale of their concert, but not exclusively. The guitarist of Dragonforce wrote the guitar parts for this song, making it their first ever collaborative work.
