Plenty of years left in you mate, I’m 47 and was in the thick of it.
Nice 🤘
I am 58 years old and did the Australian babymetal trilogy
i am extra buggered
lol
i coped the flu on the plane in the last flight to Melbourne .
Still went to the melboutne concert all masked up
just woke up after a 15 hour medication induced sleep
thanks for your review 😊
Legend!
That's awesome mate🙂🤘(not the flu part). Hope you recover well ✅
Dang I hope you recover well, I also hope I didn't catch this flu as I'm really immuno compromised 🤣 the event was great
Great review, thanks for doing that - and I am pleased you watched and enjoyed the show rather than filming absolutely everything, it is far better to enjoy the moment so your short clips of each song were all that was needed.
It is almost amazing how those songs someone may not be so fussed about are transformed into real bangers when they play them live - 'Gimme Chocolate' is a prime example, I think it is fair to say it isn't everybody's favourite, but the energy is always boosted and it always gets the crowd going - it would be a real shame if it wasn't included in the live set .... and it does sound so much better live too.
I'm 30 and I was at the Jakarta show few weeks ago, my body felt like sh*t the next day, but my soul felt full, I was checking all the fancams I could find for the whole day lol. 2 Days after the show I already missed them. The Australian show was amazing from the fancams I've watched, good job for all of you.
Nice review. To help get through their shows. Moa says they do a lot of physical training. Sounds like the fans are going to have to start training too. No Rain No Rainbow has only been done in Japan. While on tour around the world they tend to do their more upbeat songs. Especially for their festival appearances. Often only having a half hour set for those. They like to hit you hard and fast. Building up to the last song. At that point you get the We Are Babymetal. They're stage presence so strong they get everyone by this point. The festival crowds become Kitsunes and Megitsunes. For their own shows you were there. I know you felt it. The life altering experience. Feeling tired yet very happy. And I see you're already looking forward to the next Babymetal album. I have to say a forth coming Babymetal album will be the one thing Babymetal doesn't surprise their fans with. The only question is when will we get it? Babymetal has never released albums in back to back years. With them referring to the current album as 3.5 not their fourth. Makes me think they're already working on another album. Especially with a new member. Momoko has to get on an album recording. That will be the official fourth album. Next year after the current tour ends? Hmm could be. Babymetal concerts always remind me of a line from the Van Halen song Top Jimi. "Sang so good that the roof fell in. Now everybody wanna go." I know I want to go and it seems you're ready to go too. Kitsunes UP🦊🦊🦊
I was at all three Australian shows, and overall it was great. I was second row center in Brisbane and Melbourne, and in the pit for Sydney. Overall, I felt Brisbane was the best show because the venue had a great atmosphere and the crowd was absolutely mental (also most reasonably priced beers at the afterparty). Both Sydney and Melbourne, being much larger venues, pulled in a more casual crowd, as a result the energy wasn't quite as intense and the crowd participation wasn't as organised or consistent as it would be with a room full of card-carrying kitsune. Regardless, they were still all great shows, and my only real gripe (apart from some of the audio mix issues) was the fact that they played the same setlist at all three shows. They hade to be aware that there were a lot of us who were attending all three nights, and it would have been nice if they mixed it up just a little bit.
One thing you find with Babymetal songs is that experiencing them live is a whole different vibe to just hearing them. I used to not really like Pa Pa Ya!, but once I experienced it live in Japan, I understood it in a way I hadn't before, and now I really enjoy it. Similarly, I've always been lukewarm on Shanti, but seeing it live gives it a whole different energy and I was able to get into it a lot more.
Rowing pits started among fans of the viking metal band Amon Amarth, who subsequently wrote a song in honour of the rowing community called "Put Your Back Into The Oar". There was a big rowing pit during Headbanger at Makuhari in January as well.
Next time you should get in the pit. I'm 47 and I was down front all three nights and I survived.
I agree with your comments about the Melbourne crowd. I was in the seated area and there was very little energy… in fact I was like the only person standing up and jumping around (sorry to people behind me). Compared to the energy at the Asian shows just prior, I was honestly a bit disappointed.
Maybe I’ve seen too many videos from their Japanese shows and was expecting that kind of involvement.
Guess I’ve just gotta see them in Japan to get the full experience!
@@nicholassemmens6732 Yeah, the energy in Japan is off the charts. Everyone knows all the lyrics and knows all the call-and-responses and actions for all the songs, so the crowd in 100% hype all the time. I've only previously seen them in Japan, so it was kind of a weird experience to deal with a less energetic crowd. That's why I thought Brisbane was the best show; it was the highest energy and the small venue intensified the whole experience.
I had friends sitting in the stands, and they said the same thing about the crowd being kind of dead up there, even though the pit was going down on the floor.
That's awesome that you caught all three shows.🤘 And I agree, catching their songs live definitely changed my perspective on some songs ✅ great show🔥
@@nicholassemmens6732 Was also in a seated area, I knew ijime dame zettai was the last song, so went to stand up and enjoy the last song but got tapped in the back to sit back down. 😒
@@TheDarkshines Ah that sucks. Luckily no one behind me seemed to complain, even though I was in the front row lol. I just hope the lack of participation doesn’t stop them coming back to Melbourne again!
I was there last night was incredible had so much fun, the band is incredible and the drummer deserves an award unbelievable
Glad you had a nice time🤘 The drummer is amazing ✅
🍅💀🍅
🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
Glad that you got to enjoy the concert so much.
Thanks! Was a great time 🦊🤘🔥✅
OMG there was a guy standing right behind me with a long beard and for a moment I thought it was you, I felt bad for that guy because I was doing copious amounts of kitsunes and yelling all the usual fan parts trying to inspire those around me, I may have come across as a bit of a dick lol to those behind me but in my defence I let some shorter people in front so they could see.
P.S. as a Kiwi I was very impressed with my Victorian brothers and sisters they did themselves proud so many of them made the effort to dress up and it was really cool being around other Babymetal fans
🦊🤘🔥
Sounds like you were just getting into the spirit✅ Sounds like you had a fun time 🙂🤘
ありがとうございます🤘🦊♪

@@jakemuller8626 🤘😄💙
🙂👍 no problem KitKat🤘
Very nice report👊🏽⚡️🦊🤘🏾
Thanks! 🦊🤘🔥
Oh man, Maya and Shanti Shanti Shanti went OFF. I am so happy and still riding the high haha.
You must have been sitting within literal rows and chairs of me haha. Footage looks very much like my eyeview!
100% both were great 🤘🔥
@@meteorrunnernice 👍
Thanks for doing this, always interesting to hear what people have to say. Babymetal live is just such a different experience from album, I've always compared it to a movie soundtrack, a movie soundtrack is fine, but if you've never seen the movie it has no context, a lot less emotion. Babymetal live is the full experience. And a repetitive, almost annoying song, on the album can be transformed into being your favorite song in an instant ! It's comments like that we've seen from fans before.
The funny bit is, you a had a seated ticket and are still spend, the energy at a Babymetal live show is just something else !
3:00 Babymetal Death was probably chosen, because Babymetal Death is actually an introduction song, first song on the first album ('Suzuka des' would be part of her introduction if she isn't in Babymetal gear, and Babymetal Death is actually a pun, because the 'th' sound in Japan doesn't exist so they might actually pronounce it the same). The reason they choose the introduction song: they are now a new Babymetal, with a new member Momometal.
Babymetal live setlists: gimme choco, megitsune and road of resistance is basically on everyone since Road of Resistance released (actually even before that, because it was performed live multiple times before being released). Before Road of Resistance, Ijime, Dame, Zettai was the closing song, when Babymetal performed it again after years you could see grown men cry in the audience. People thought they would never pay it again, so you can imagine fans are very happy they now use both in the closing part of the setlist.
No Rain, No Rainbow is actually a song which they've said: takes the energy out of the fast paced Babymetal live experience, so yeah, you won't see that any time soon.
About the sound quality, Babymetal is usually very good with their sound and Melbourne was actually the least best of this Australian tour leg. Also: be sure to get special concert ear plugs.
As a non-that-young anymore and talking about a Babymetal show: we usually end up doing circle pits, not moshpits and only the wall of death is thus the one to look out for.
I might not have the stamina, but I still want to be on the floor, love it. Also I like barrier a lot, you can see it all up close.
But I do think the best Babymetal live experience is when they have a great audience response. Very different when for example Babymetal is opening for an other band (as I've recently experienced with Sabaton in Europe, even that was probably still pretty good compared to some other shows).
16:11 yes, it's surprising, such a well received album Metal Resistance and no song was used (Road of Resistance was a song released between first and second album, so it could be argued it's not even a Metal Resistance song).
Forgot to add: BxMxC is one of those songs which really let Su-metal talent shine on stage and she loves to perform it too. And on the album her voice was manipulated to much.
I was right at the front and the sound was perfect, and surprisingly not very loud, I did not wear any earplugs and my ears weren't ringing at all, Su sounded great you could hear Moa and Momo clearly and Barone is an absolute beast live. My son sat in the stand and he said it was quite loud as they had a speaker pointing right at them, and Reliqa were also really good, it was a little hard to get into as I think not many of us knew their songs but they put on a great performance especially the singer she was fantastic.
Cheers for your thoughts and info automate🙂🤘 I have to agree that seeing them live is completely a different to listening to the album's✅🔥
Thanks for this review. I saw some fancams around and all Australian fans did a great job supporting the group, it was a madness. They pretty much did the same setlist during this tour, i think Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong got a switch with MAYA and METAL KINGDOM for Believing and Divine Attack - Shingeki, but the rest are the same.
You're still so young man, don't worry but enjoy the show as you want, and also if you go to live concerts frequently without ear protection expect at least some tinitus lol 👂🙉
Glad to see y'all having fun with BM, today they announced another couple of exclusive shows for The One members called "Apocrypha - Another One" part of the Apocrypha series outside of BM lore, so lucky fans will be there.
See you next time. 🦊🤘🔥
I envy those who are able to go to that concert. I am currently unable to go out because I am staying with my mother who needs nursing care. So I am in an ambivalent situation where I have to hope that I will not be able to go to the BABYMETAL concert for a long time. However, I would never have met Babymetal without this situation of not being able to go out. And to meet you in this way🤘🦊💙
No problem Jake. Was a great concert 🙂🤘✅ Cheers for the info mate.
@@kitkat6407Sorry to hear that KitKat. 😞 but it great that you focus on the positive 🙂🤘
@@corruptedfiles1989 Thanks for caring🤘😄
@@kitkat6407 Hope your family gets better and you feel ok to go out and meet BM in a live concert one day, always glad to see you around in the comments my friend.🦊🤘🧡
I'm so happy you got to go to their concert and focused on watching the show! There are a small handful of BABYMETAL songs that I don't really listen to or actually like much, BUT I know I would really enjoy during a concert due to the amount of energy they would have...BxMxC and Pa Pa Ya, are definitely two of them.
Thanks! 🙂🤘And I 100% agree ✅
Thank you for sharing ❤🔥👍Arigato🙏
No problem. Thanks for watching 🙂🤘🔥
Exellent report on show. I just saw them at Wembley in April.
Seen them just before lockdown 2020 at the Apollo and at Brixton Academy in 2019 and know what you mean about songs you did not expect at Brixton they performed Syncopation first and only time outside Japan and Headbangèr was performed at the Apollo show came back on US tour 2019 after an absence since Legend S in 2017 and BabyMetal Death at Wembley. Watching your footage has got me excited for the back to back shows at the Roundhouse in London in November. I got tickets for both nights, hopefully a few different songs each night.
Wish they bring any Su solo back (Akatsuki ) and wishful thinking a Black Babymetal song ( GJ ) So happy you had a great time 😁🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
@martinmetal7481 👍 👍
@@rah2287 😁🤘🏼🦊
Thanks martinmetal🙂🤘 Syncopation would have been awesome ✅ Hope you have fun at the upcoming concerts👍
@@corruptedfiles1989 thanks will do 😁🤘🏼🦊
Congrats!!
That was a killer setlist. I would be very happy to experience it myself. And yes, If I was 20 again I would be also in the pit haha...
Crowd rowing thing has something to do with Amon Amarth (Viking themes).
Was a great setlist for sure 🤘✅🔥
I saw BM at the Hammersmith Odeon in 2019. It was the most intense gig, I had been to. Last year, I saw Maximum the Hormone in london and they took it up several levels. Insane crowd.
Nice! MTH would be amazing ✅🤘🔥
@@corruptedfiles1989 Being a Japanese music fan for 7 years. I am lucky enough to live close to London, so we get a lot of bands visiting, but I know that I have to travel to see Japanese bands. I missed seeing Sokoninaru in Vienna due to lockdowns. Travelling is part ofvthe experience. I met a Japanese fan who flew to London from Kyoto to see Perfume in London. Not my usual music, butvthey were superb. Mikiko-metal does choreography for both Perfume and Babymetal. Check out Flash and Karate.
Great discussion, and thanks for sharing mate! I am hoping to see them in Boston in September....all these fan cams have been getting me so hyped. I am about 6 hours away, but I don't want to miss the chance!
You'll have a great time 🤘
I'm glad to find out that I am not the only one who always says "Yesterday " out loud during IDZ lol .
😅🤘👍
I think I have seen the "rowing" during an old BABYMETAL concert somewhere in Europe ONLY ONCE before, and it definitely surprised me too.
I did a double take 👀 Was like, wait a minute... Are they rowing?😅
Mate, if you think you're tired.... I saw the Sydney show on Friday night, and I turn 66 in a couple of months, twice your age! Then after 4 hours sleep, I went away for the long weekend. Great to see your review. I was also seated, with a good view of the stage, and loved the concert. Like you, I filmed a few snippets, but mostly left the phone alone, although I did record all of Metal Kingdom, which was brilliant. I thought the sound mix at the venerable Hordern Pavilion was quite good. I only had to resort to earplugs for support band Reliqa, who had turned their amps up to 11, unnecessarily I thought. A couple of their songs were really good, and they have a great vocalist, however both vocals and guitars were drowned out by bass and distortion, what a shame.
So that's one concert off my local bucket list. I've seen Nightwish & Epica here in recent years. We just need Band-Maid and Lovebites to tour Down Under! Cheers.
Nice! Nightwish and Epica would have been great ✅Lovebites and Band-Maid down under would be amazing 🤘🔥
It makes me very happy to know that there is a large and lively BABYMETAL fanbase in Australia!!! That circle pit was nice and big, as well as the wall of death!
I agree ✅🤘
What a great review, nice job
Thanks! 🤘🔥
👍 👍
Great review. So glad that you enjoyed it.
They are truly amazing.
Thanks rah!🤘 It was an incredible show for sure ✅
I am so happy you had a great time, and yes, BABYMETAL are best LIVE! Did I hear you correctly that you are getting old? I am a 75 year old guy, and was running around the circle pit throughout Road of Resistance @ Makuhari this January.
Ahhhh. Thanks. 🙂👍 And that would have been awesome 🤘✅
nice concert review, thx for sharing
Thanks Dennis! 🙂🤘🔥
This gets me excited. I have tickets for Seattle. If could add songs off the second or third albums it would be Yava and Kageru. Or Shine. Or just for me Awadama Fever i think I'm the only one but i love that song.
Or you know. Up down left right ABBA. Because it's never been performed. :) It's kind of a metal version of the Vocaloid song 'Remote Control' but more metal and less creepy lyrics. Nobody has Vocaloid beat for creepy lyrics.
Nice. You'll have a great time 🙂🤘✅ Btw, the first question my brother asked was, did they play Awadama fever 😉
@@corruptedfiles1989 I get it. It was written by the same guy as Gimme Choko. They play Gimme Choko every show.
I'll be at Seattle too. Can't wait.
Barone's drum kit is gonna need therapy after this tour.
💯 agreed
It is cool to be uncool! That means you are cool enough to not care about being cool anymore.
💯 ✅🤘
Melbourne show :
The overall mix was terrible. Early in the set, it was obvious Su was having trouble hearing her IEM, complicated by her voice not sitting on top of the mix,she found her pitch after about 4 songs in. The drum sound was awful pretty much throughout the show, it never improved but live mixing can be a shit fight. What I found odd was the unknown opening band had remarkable sound.
The western kami was a bit of a non event, none of the energy or prolific stylising of each member of the proper Kami band. Musically efficient but none of the charismatic personalities that make true Kami such a highly regarded ensemble.
The front 3 of the band really were quite impressive, frenetic stamina and spot on choreography providing excellent upstage support for the enigmatic Su-Metal who at just 26 is really starting to show all the qualities of a massive top tier star.
Between the 3 and the wonderful crowd of the most diverse concert goers I have ever seen under one roof, the night was pure gold. Without that crowd, it would have been too easy to focus on just how bland the western kami band are. Excellent players but no real feel for the repitoire or audience. Perhaps over time that will improve but at $150 a ticket, attendees would be fully within their rights to expect more. 4.5 stars overall thanks to the generosity of spirit provided by Melbourne's finest assembly of concert goers.
