True story. I went to Japan in 2018 and saw Broken live at an underground basement venue called Shibuya Cyclone. OMG!!! You bet it's real!! There were a total of 5 groups playing that day. While one of the other groups were playing, Necromidol I think it was, IO was suddenly standing next to me. She looked right at me, smiled and nodded, I smiled back and and we both jumped into the mosh pit. You have to understand tho, she's like 4 foot nothing. TINY tiny!! I was afraid she'd get hurt, but no way. She went hard!!! She's a beast!! I'll never forget that day.
I’ll second that: it really is her, 2 clean singers, 1 low growler and a screamer, first time reactions are always fun to watch. I’ll suggest something else unusual:The Devil’s Killing Merry Go Round-Diabolos.
Io Nozukidaira is the low growler and she is absolutely legit. One of the best around for my money. They're an incredibly underrated band in general. I think a lot of people get hung up on the whole idol thing, there's a lot of "it's not real metal" talk, but they just need to lighten up honestly. Would love to go to a live show personally!
Great reaction! Hell yes that is Iorin doing those low gutterals! Absolutely love BBTS! All of these juxtaposing styles that probably shouldn't work together, but absolutely do. Iorin is an absolute beast with her gutteral low growls, as is Kagura with her higher pitched screams, accompanied by the clean kawaii Jpop type vocals of Tsubaki and Ayame... and the band is heavy af, proggy, and super skilled. Thank you for the reaction. 🔥❤️
So cool that you know Stacie Bates, she is the drummer for Infernal Desekration. So cool of you to shout out to them. Yes she can seriously scream. Great drummer also.
Oh hell yeah! She was my vocalist in Sidra when I lived in AZ. The song you hear is actually our music. Always had a blast with Stacie. Next time you see her, call her QG (Quarter Gangsta). She’ll totally laugh. Haha 🤘🏽😎🤘🏽
@muSiK (by Jeremy H.) I don't get out to Phoenix very often, but I will pass the word along to Danny. Thanks for the response. Oh and I subscribed to your channel.
YES!!! I'm so happy to hear you are digging J-Metal Saturday. I don't get too many comments about it, so knowing it's making you happy means a lot. Thanks very much!! ✌🏽
@@TheLeomarti well, Slipknot isn’t Japanese either, but they mentioned them as well. I believe they were just talking about the influences of this Japanese band being things like slipknot and K-pop. ✌🏽😎🤘🏽
@@musikbyjh Absolutely I believe so as well ! That's why I wanted to point out that there is nothing K-pop here since it's Japanese 😛 On the other hand Slipknot genre is metal, which is not specific to a country unlike K-pop, if that makes sense 😆
@@TheLeomarti ahhhh ok, I get what you mean then. Maybe the K pop is just Pop….and that’s what they meant? Or, maybe K-pop had a unique style that this person can see a bit of in this band? Either way…we all love this stuff, regardless of what words we use. 🤘🏽😎🤘🏽
There is another older metal idol band, Passcode which might be the first metal idol band in 2013-present. It has the same set up with 2 clean vocals, and 2 growlers/screamers, and a backing band with male musicians. Within the same kind of genre is Necronomidol which are currently on hiatus (2014-2022).
There is only one scream&growl in PassCode (Emily), the other 3 do the "synthesised" cleans. And of course one of the very first metal idol units is Babymetal, PassCode came later
@@BagoPorkRinds I still wonder if there were metal idols before Babymetal though, units so underground that we never heard of them and that disbanded long ago
@@TheLeomarti I don't think there were any in terms of idol genre mashed with heavy metal prior to Babymetal. The genius of Kobametal. Passcode and Necronomidol might owe their existance more to BiS who started out at the same time as Babymetal in 2010 but were the first or one of the first to be an actual alternative idol group.
@@TheLeomarti gohou lolita syndrome (lolisyn) were doing the whole metal idol thing with harsh vocals whilst babymetal were just starting to do their first headline 'legend' shows back in mid 2012, I'm pretty sure there were others who played shows with lolisyn around that time too, but alot is lost to time or deleted twitter accounts. babymetal honestly were the first to gain notoriety in the west and so of course all the accolades get unnecessarily attributed to them, they've honestly never had anything to do with the actual underground scene sadly, never played a show with anyone or collabed or interacted with anyone of note in the underground scene.
You put some Jazz, J-Pop, Rock and Metalmusic in a blender and you get Broken By The Scream. But the musiscians are amazing, there is so much young talent in Japan.
It's kinda weird how you're focusing on the camera work. I mean. I agree with you. Sometimes the camera shots in videos leave a lot to be desired. But that isn't the band. :) They give some yatsu money to run the cameras and he feels like he has to justify his pay. I would prefer a wider constant view rather than all the cuts and closeups. But it's not that big of a deal. If you go to a show you can watch whatever you want. Also it's just a few seconds of one song. :)
You still need an audience with the Queen of extreme vocals. Yu Umehara. From MergingMoon. There's a great live vid for the song "Greyen" on the bands channel. It showcases all of her skills perfectly. Highest of highs...lowest of lows...

she has a mean right hook too!
Wow you're freakin lucky, dude - being on a gig with BBTS and Necronomidol on one scene! Envy you 😝

YES!!! I'm so happy to hear you are digging J-Metal Saturday. I don't get too many comments about it, so knowing it's making you happy means a lot. Thanks very much!! ✌🏽
So you know it's _Japanese_ Saturday but you still write _K-pop_ somehow xD

I believe that's Maki on drums, I could recognize his pony tail hair.

Oh Yes. It is their voices! *LOL* Check out their live videos.... I choosed this MV as a good portal song for them!
Love me some BBTS! Totally them. Yes, some studio magic on it to clean it up, but she does do it in the live videos.
Bbts are amazing...IO's deep growls are real. 🫶🫶
👊🏻💀🤘🏻

Ah the classic "is that really her!?!?" lol, pretty much everone reacts like that
And yes. Yes it is.
