You should watch the newer guide "Everything you need to know about Babymetal - A Babymetal Guide" made by CrypticMisery, it's more accurate and up to date.
@@Egilkallig The new guide is better, but it doesn't contain a lot of new information. Definitely not reaction worthy.
You got too see how well trained and professional the girls are. I mean by age 12 SU already had 7 years of stage experience.
@@bradkornatowski3866 Babymetal at 10 years existence is almost 20 years of experience in the entertainment industry for Suzuka.
Nice reaction! I'm Japanese. Please excuse my poor English.
The fox is the symbol of Inari Shrine.The fox is not a god. The fox is a messenger of the gods. Reference "Inari shrin" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inari_shrine
It is said that it may have been the Nestorians, a sect of Christianity that came to ancient Japan, who created the Inari Shrine. They assimilated into Japan.
But for the Japanese, shrines are not a religion.
It's just a tradition. The fox is a popular icon of Japanese culture for the Japanese.
"Please excuse my poor English."
Nothing poor about it, your English is superb!
Nice reaction! The ONE doesn't mind long BABYMETAL reactions, we can watch BM all day long.
BABYMETAL FOREVER
🤘🤘🤘
All hail The Fox God
We don't really know what health issues Yui had/has, but based on some circumstantial evidence it appears to most likely be back issues.
She was seen a couple of times on-stage wearing a back brace under her costume; people underestimate how physically taxing dance is.
@@ShikataGaNai100 Yeah, and especially considering how accurate she is. She probably practiced all the time
So true i know a few people who have suffered back issues for years and never really recovered.
And it was a combination of those health issues and Yui wanting to pursue her lifelong dream of a solo career, that led to her cutting ties with BABYMETAL in 2018.
Maybe Yui's health issues after she's fall down from the stage
Su is still learning English and recently picked up an accent. It's pretty cute and funny. Lmao
At first I thought her newish accent sounded almost like a southern draw, which amused me immensely, but after hearing it a bit more it’s sounds Californian. I bet her English teacher is from California.
@@crypticmisery7996 It is weird. She sometimes seems to have a bit of Texas twang, then Southern as well as Cali accent. I love it though. Just adds to her mystery.
@@TreadheadA1 Hopefully she'll add some New York vocabs here and there ; )
@@crypticmisery7996 If we ever hear her say "dude" we'll know for sure
I absolutely love her American accent. It's adorable
You need to seek out their two female only crowd shows. The atmosphere is unique and great.
is there any way to watch it somewhere?
Enjoyed watching you learn more about Babymetal! 🦊 🦊 🦊
Great reaction. That big stage that impacted you was Tokyo Dome (Two days, 55.000 people each day).
I recommend you this YT channel 'Babymetal Reactor Resource', this channel is to provide Babymetal reactors a place to find videos that have been made copyright friendly. All videos are free to use for reaction channels, has some of 'Tokyo Dome'.
Maybe you are ready to react to a full BM concert, only a few did, most of them do on Twitch, please think about it.
Do you think his mind will take it nearly lost it with just a clip of Toyko Dome show 🤘🤣🤘
To clarify, full concert reactions will get blocked on TH-cam, so Twitch (or possibly some other platform) is the only way to do them. You can stream the whole thing on Twitch without any copyright issue, though if you save the vod on Twitch, parts of it will likely be muted.
If you want to save it, just save it locally and maybe upload it to another platform like Google Drive if you want to share it. Some reactors have put reactions on Drive and uploaded placeholder vids to YT with the Drive link in the description so they can still get views.
And momoko is the only Avengers who has survived until now....
I think Kano is probably the one who will perform if Momoko can't. And maybe, maybe Riho could still perform if really needed.
@@autohmae Aren't Riho and Kano doing their own thing now.
@@cuttysark8017 At one point Kano was supporting BABYMETAL, President of Sakura Gakuin, and a member of the new group @onefive.
Of the three, Sakura Gakuin was the most time intensive.
So it's possible she could manage both BABYMETAL and @onefive at the same time.
It does seem like they are letting her concentrate on her new group though.
Riho is even less likely to return since she signed with a new (not Amuse, Inc.) agency, and has been relaunching her solo career.
@@rickwagner- That's what I was getting at. IMO BM should "put a ring on it" with Momoko.
@@cuttysark8017 I've been a Momoko fan since her Sakura Gakuin days, but they may be adding some new avengers once they start touring again.
WHAT...only 55min. long? Bring it on 🤘😷👍
Great to watch this, and glad you enjoyed it!
🤘🔥🦊🔥🤘
This is a great reaction! As you were so impressed by the stage at 30:15 you really should consider investing in their 2016 Tokyo Dome DVD/BluRay...it shows the original BABYMETAL lineup at their peak, playing two nights to sold out 55,000 crowds and performing 2 entire albums worth of songs!
Sakura Gakuin is just like The Mickey Mouse Club. The Tokyo dome concerts was a two day concert, The Black Night and The Red Night. Wish you could see how amazing and so well thought the shows were. My absolute favourite moments are when the girls ascended the stage, crucified during the Death opener and also when the Kami went down the casket aisle to do their Kami Band solo, Mischief of God.
Both Yui and Moa suffered fairly serious falls during those two nights. Yui fell off the stage from about 5' up and Moa was in tears after her stage fall...yet they both got back up and played out the set. Dance is incredibly physically demanding.
@@ShikataGaNai100 if I'm not mistaken, they fell at Budokan not Tokyo Dome and unlike other celebrities of performers they both apologised for it, owning that they're also partly to be blamed for it. That's typical of the Japanese culture.
I actually have an analysis video on Moa's injury on my channel here:
th-cam.com/video/pKn5D3p2OAU/w-d-xo.html
@@LOLMAN9538 she fell while she was running up to the main stage during IDZ and looking at a fan footage she fell forward. That made it the highest possibility that she had somehow pained her knee and had caused her to be slightly off balance as she went down on one knee during the song. Here's the link to the fan footage. instagram.com/p/lBf1vQv_Ph/?
@@ShikataGaNai100 Headbanger at Budokan - that's why it's only Su and Moa during the last part of the song.
now you know why people say BMC stands for Bring Moa Chicken
There are a lot of things/infos not in the video or are wrong/incomplete unfortunately, but doing such a long video it's pretty forgiveable to forget some things. rnegitsune was also probably more focused on making it entertaining, funny and putting her opinions in than to actually get all the details right. One example I really miss in the video is the origin of the Fox Sign. It's not like they just thought "let's do something like this". The girls were actually shown the devil horns when they still knew nothing about metal and thought the gesture was the fox from shadow play, that's how the whole hand gesture thing started. And another thing I always see that's not completely correct is how Moa got her "Angel of Love" nickname. Sure, she's the one who "puts out the most love" with her crowd interaction and eye contact, etc, but it actually (also) comes from the Japanese spelling of her given name. Moa is spelled 最愛 and the two Kanji mean "most" and "love".
The whole Avengers situation isn't up-to-date anymore. I think it's safe to assume Momoko is the only Avenger for now, she performed all BM shows since the pandemic started. Riho signed a solo career deal with another agency last year and is super busy with tv interviews and stuff. She knows Su and BM's choreographer MIKIKO for over ten years and probably saw the whole BM deal as a stepping stone to get back into entertainment/music. She wasn't the ace of Morning Musume, one of the most famous idol groups of all time in one of their most successful timespans, for nothing. And Kano seems to be busy with @onefive, who unfortunately seem to be more focussed on modeling and appearance than the actual music they produce (in my eyes at least).
The person who made it really has a hard on for 'old dudes' . Blames and accuses them for pretty much everything.
@@scratchedrecords4562 Well, there are really people like that in the Idol fan communities in Japan... more than enough to be frank. But you're definitely right in the fact that there's A LOT of prejudice in the video, she makes it seem like every fan over 35 is a hardcore Otaku with shelves full of undressable anime figurines who gets off seeing middle school kids sing and dance. I really like the video, regardless of its shortcomings, but she really should've left her opinions and world view out of it.
FYI...there's a newer guide out by CrypticMisery - th-cam.com/video/LcRLmizE4C0/w-d-xo.html - which is more up to date and leaves out the derogatory commentary about men.
I made a new, shorter one a few days ago as well: th-cam.com/video/cfYYRnA8ukE/w-d-xo.html
The best part about Cryptic's guide (the long version one), is how he talked about the Sonisphere performance.... It was a big part of Babymetal history, but the Unhelpful guide barely even mentioned it.... Now that story finally has a mention it deserves....
@@crimson0119 Also the fact the old guide talks way too much about the Avengers and just barely mentioned the Kami. That's outrageous to me as I believe the Kami deserve much more attention than the Avengers did, especially back at the time when the concept was barely a few months old. Like what the hell Boh performed a hundred shows or so and some backup dancer does 3 shows and gets like 4 whole minutes of videos and slides. And for what ? Riho is already gone and Rnegitsune wasted 5 minutes on her. Good job there lmao.
@@Zedem0n True (said in Yui voice) hehehehe. Oh well, it was what we had to work with, until Cryptic stepped up and did a better one....Still impressed he found all those vids of Su speaking in other languages....
@@crimson0119 you have idea how long that took lmao
This is still my favorite Babymetal guide even if there are more recent once online.
excellent content dude
Nice video. There is a lot of things she doesn’t really touch on, or is just incorrect about in this video. She also makes a lot of comments that have offended certain groups of the fanbase, and while they don’t bother me I don’t think it’s cool to isolate certain groups like that. I don’t dislike her video, it’s entertaining and I’ve watched it many times, I just felt that it could be better.
So, I made my own version(s). I made a long one (44 minutes) that goes into great detail about a lot of things, and a short video (17 minutes) that is a more brief introduction for new fans. I know mine is far from perfect, and I do plan on updating my first one in a few months after the Budokan shows, I hope and expect it to be much better produced than my current one.
We aren't creepy 😟
@@chrisharris1522 The vast majority of us are not. But it's still true that there are to many creepy dudes that follow BM (not sure why young creepy dudes get a pass though).
My first thought was that it wasn't really necessary, but after watching yours I found myself really appreciating it. Being an old guy, some of the jabs in the unhelpful guide, I wouldn't say they were offensive since I know those remarks don't describe me, but they did make me feel, i dunno... unwelcome.
there is a reality in Japan that is one of the most depraved country of all, but they really good at hiding it for the rest of the world and try not to break the law, the idol stuff is part of their culture and their low instincts (or fetiche if you want to go far) but that not neccesarily have to spread out all over the world or all over their own country, we all know BabyMetal breakthrough the mold of idolish and make their own brand and personality bringing to them every type of fans and people from little kids to older mans, men and women and that channel went unnecessary far treating part of the fandom like if all of them were "mentally creepy"
@@moonsong99 Which one did you watch?
wub wub is from Uki Uki Midnight
Maybe Yui health issues after she's fall down from the stage.
Thanks for the reaction to the guide
I know it is unlikely to ever happen, but can you imagine how many nights they could sell out at Tokyo Dome for a return of Yui for just that one set of gigs?
@ is a TV interview of Su before her SG graduation.... worth watching as i know how much you love this girl. She is so natural just chatting and having fun...either react to it or just watch it, just enjoy it.
Great to see your increased interest in the group, and thanks for keeping my sleepy self up for one more hour 😄.
You should check out the wub-wub song live at Budokan Black Night. Uki Uki Midnight is one of the most underrated Babymetal songs.
There's a boxed set of the Five Fox Festival floating around out there if you're curious enough, but it isn't terribly easy to get ahold of.
This guide is outdated, there was a new one that was released a month ago or so.
Oh and now that you have a twitch channel you should check one concert, that one with the big stage is Tokyo Dome, would be a great start [Tokyo Dome 2016 Red Night]
Japan is a very private culture, so personal things are not talked about to outsiders. So it is highly unlikely we will ever know what caused Yui to have to leave the group. Another example, do you know anything about Su and Moa's private lives? To me this is great, they can lead their lives as they wish.
When Yui's departure was made official, the Amuse management proposed disbanding Babymetal. Su and Moa told Amuse they wanted to continue as Babymetal. The Amuse management agreed with the girls, who says there no Fox God!
Kano and Rhio apparently are no longer available as Avengers, sooo it looks like Momoko is it.
I saw Yui's official departure message, and she said it was a combination of her physical condition not being where she wanted it to be, and her wanting to pursue her lifelong dream of a solo career (as Mizuno Yui) that led to her decision to cut ties with the group.
Momoko is excellent.
@@LOLMAN9538 Cut ties is kinda negative connotation, this goes against what she said about one day performing with the girls again, it was just that her dreams are something that goes beyond BABYMETAL, unfortunately it's pretty sad for us although I like to think she is always there with Su and Moa in your hearts I mean, but she is certainly receiving the best support for whatever she wants to do patiently we are going to see her again..
Now with this whole OTHER ONE restoration project thing floating around, there's so much more to learn about Suzuka and Moa than we know!
*BABYMETAL* was originally created as a Sub-Unit of a school-themed female idol group named *Sakura Gakuin. (さくら学院)*
They had several sub-units, such as:
*- Baton Club Twinklestars*
*- Tenis Club Pastel Wind*
*- Cooking Club MiniPatii*
*- Heavy Music Club BABYMETAL*
*- Newspapers Club SCOOPERS*
*- Science Club Kagaku Kyumei Kiko LOGICA?*
*- Go Home Club sleepiece*
The sub-unit *Heavy Music Club BABYMETAL* attracted a lot of everyone's attention with their first song and video *Doki Doki Morning,* they did not waste the situation and continued with the theme until *BABYMETAL* became independent of *Sakura Gakuin.* They gained international fame with the song *Gimme Chokko !!*
*Sakura Gakuin* has 12 members who some graduated each year and new members are received for a total of 12. *Sakura Gakuin* began in 2010 and continues to this day. They have more than 10 albums, normally they release 1 new album every year when some of their members graduate from *Sakura Gakuin.* Like *BABYMETAL, Sakura Gakuin* performs live and uniquely choreographed for each song.
I also listen to *Sakura Gakuin* since 2015 day after day ... Each song is unique and different, to say that the songs of the sub-unit called *MiniPatii,* (which by the way, were presented by Yui and Moa) their instrumental it is 8 bit sounds! And the sub-unit *Science Club Kagaku Kyumei Kiko LOGICA?* With Disco music instruments!
In case you would like to react to Sakura Gakuin:
*My Graduation Toos* - Here you can see Suzuka, Moa and Yui very young
*Sakuraino No Avenue* - Suzuka Nakamoto
*C'est La Vie* - My favorite song
*Monochrome* - From the 10th album released in 2020
*Miracle, Pattyful, Hamburguer* - from the MiniPati sub-unit
*Dear Mr. Socrates* - from the Baton Club Twinklestars sub-unit
*Science Girl, Silence Boy* - from the sub-unit Science Club Kagaku Kyumei Kiko LOGICA? And so much more!
Sakura Gakuin and BABYMETAL are owned by Amuse Inc.

Emotional stuff there
They were in Sakura Gakuin and BABYMETAL at the same time. It was not a before or after situation.
BABYMETAL 101
Babymetal is a Japanese group Founded in 2010 and produced by Key “Koba” Kobayashi from the Amuse Inc. talent agency. Babymetal name comes from the birth of a new style of metal fusing j-pop with metal creating what they call Kawaii Metal (Cute-Metal).
The group currently consists of Suzuka Nakamoto aka “Su-Metal” (23 years old) sometimes referred to as Vocal and Dance, and Moa Kikuchi aka "Moametal", pronounced as Moa-Metal (21 years old) sometimes referred to as Scream and Dance. With a rotating trio of girls filling the third slot, in a 3-member formation. These girls are known as Avengers and are Kano Fujihara (16 years old) ((Most likely not an Avenger)), Riho Sayashi (21 years old) ((Most likely is not an avenger anymore)), and Momoko Okazaki (18 years old) ((Still an Avenger)). They are supported by a rotating selection of talented male backing musicians known as the Kami Band (Kami is usually poorly translated as gods, but in truth it more closely means awe inspiring spirit, entity, or object) It is why they are dressed in white to look like ghosts or spirits, though Kami being used as God(s) is so common in translation the white outfits get lost.
Past Formations.
Heavy Music Club Era (2010-2012)
From 2010 to 2012 Babymetal consist of a three-member formation, Suzuka Nakamoto (Age 12), Moa Kikuchi (Age 10), and Yui Mizuno aka "Yuimetal" pronounced Yui-Metal. (Age 10). First starting out as the Heavy Music Club as a subunit within the Developmental Idol Group created by Amuse in 2010 known as Sakura Gakuin. Sakura Gakuin is group that introduces girls between the ages of 10-15 to music, dance, modeling, and acting through Japanese Pop idol music and culture. Given a school theme, all three would be a part of Sakura Gakuin until their graduation from it in the same school year they would graduate from Japanese middle school or 15 years old. Suzuka graduated in March 2013, and Moa and Yui in March of 2015. Sakura Gakuin is a fantastic group with great kawaii jpop songs in their own right. During this time there was no lore, and the girl’s costumes were more punkish in nature which they helped create. They also didn’t perform with live music, using a backing track or the “Skeleton band” people pretending to play music behind them.

Babymetal/ Metal Resistance Era (2012-2017)
Starting in 2012 with the Legend I concert, Babymetal began its slow divorce from Sakura Gakuin, and was the first introduction of the Kami Band as well as the “Lore” that is still heavily involved in Babymetal but makes far less sense than it did during this time. The Lore is complex and involves a battle against other evil idol corporations, gaining powers, some time travel, running a resistance group, all at the direction of a mythical deity known as the fox god, against an all power enemy known as Akiba. The first Legend show I was the Kami Bands introduction to the end, but it also had the Skeleton Band which is seen in the wildly popular Gimmie Chocolate Music Video. This was followed by Legend D, and then Legend Z, in which it was learned that Babymetal would continue as its own entity after Suzuka’s graduation from Sakura Gakuin in March of 2013. Slowly over 2013 the Skeleton Band would be phased out of all live shows, as Babymetal came into their own.
Babymetal as it is most commonly known as with Su-Metal, Moametal, Yuimetal, the Kami Band, and a somewhat understandable lore is what consisted for the majority of it’s existence. Also established beyond the 3 member formation, they had 2 other set ups, one was what fans called Su-Solos, and it would just be Su on stage with the Kami band, performing a solo, and the other is known as Black Babymetal by the band themselves, which consisted of just Moa and Yui.

The Dark Times, The Chosen 7 Era
(2018)
In December 2017, Yui would miss the Legend-S concert for health reasons, these health problems would prosiest into 2018 and greatly affect the 2018 touring season bring the “Chosen 7” formation, consisting of Suzuka Nakamoto, Moa Kikuchi, and 2 backing dancers Minako Maruyama, and Minami Tsukui. Changes they would not tell fans and all throughout 2018 communicate extraordinarily little causing lots of pain for all involved fan and performer. This era is noted by their strange armor like costumes, sometimes referred to as Elf Armor. To make the poor communication, and Yui’s absence wasn’t bad enough, one of the more regular Kami band members, Mikio Fujioka passed away after falling off a balcony in late December 2017 while star gazing. A beloved and incredibly talented musician lost leaving behind his wife and only child.
In September 2018 Yui would formally resign from Babymetal, stating her unspecified health and wishing to move on. Babymetal themselves announced that the group will move on focusing on Suzuka and Moa. (Something many idiots within the fandom refuse or are too stupid to understand)
In October Babymetal had a concert called Dark Night Carnival which added dancers, Shoko Akiyama, Saya Hirai, and Kotono, placing a total of seven girls on stage. This was also done without warning to fans and was an absolute mess. Babymetal would finish off the 2018 tour season returning to the 3-member formation with just Saya Hirai joining them in southeast Asia and Australia. Ending one of the most troubling times in Babymetal’s history.

Metal Galaxy Era
(2019- Feb 2020)
The current set up was first introduced in 2019 during the Babymetal Arises concert in Yokohama, before the start, the “Avenger” support dancer concept was explained in the lore, and the concept thanks to communication and a maintaining of the 3-member formation brought Babymetal out of dark times brought about during 2018. Babymetal seemed to have returned to its roots with the Avengers, as 2 of the three (Kano and Momoko) come from Sakura Gakuin. The third Riho, went to the same performing arts school as Suzuka during the same time, Actors School Hiroshima aka ASH.

Da Da Dance
(Avenger confusion)
Which Avenger one sees can be confusing for those new to Babymetal. For the Music Videos, Pa Pa Ya, Elevator Girl, and Shanti Shanti Shanti, it is Kano Fujihara, who was just 14 years old at the time. Da Da Dance is a compilation of Momoko and Riho and a splicing of 2 different shows. In most fan cam videos of the American and European tour it would be either Riho or Momoko, as they toured with Babymetal in 2019. Kano had responsibilities with Sakura Gakuin as its president, a position Suzuka and Moa both held in Sakura Gakuin, and she’s never flown on a plane before.
Some fans for 2019 did throw a stupid temper tantrum over the use of new Kami Band members who are from the west now known as the West Coast Kami Band, but like how the girls won over many, so did they and the payoff with the Legend Metal Galaxy concert in 2020 was well worth it.
COVID Era
(Mar 2020 to current time)
COIVD-19 has messed up a lot of things for everyone, Babymetal had to cancel their Asian tour, as well their big 10th Anniversary on October 10, 2020. Forced to keep it rather tame something very unlike Babymetal as even in their failures like the entire 2018 tour they do it septically. The question for many fans is what of the Avengers, since COVID, Avenger Riho Sayashi has signed with a new agency and has move on to other projects, including starting a fan club, which appears to rule her out of ever being an Avenger again. Kano Fujihara has graduated from Sakura Gakuin on August 30, 2020, a near 4 month delay. However, she and fellow Sakura Gakuin graduates Soyoka Yoshida, Tsugumi Aritomo, and Momoe Mori in the formation of @onefive. Which leaves Momoko Okazaki as last standing Avenger with no new commitments. However, Kano was technically in Sakura Gakuin, @onefive, and Babymetal all at the same time for almost a year so it is possible she will still be an Avenger. All shows since COVID pandemic they have done in 2020 and in 2021 have had Momoko as the Avenger.
Music Videos of this Era
BxMxC (First music video that isn’t footage from a show and featuring Su and Moa since Karate in 2015)
At 31:29 you read about the Five Fox Festival; Moametal said of the Five her favorite was the females only show because "...it smelled a lot better, it was like dancing in a flower garden."
Arigatou! 🦊🤘 #notacult
That was a lot of information there. Also my completely oblivious introduction to BabyMetal. Only one question remains that wasn't covered in the video. What does the fox god say?
Only the fox god knows 🤭
rip yuimetal we love you always
Red fox festival is astonishing
Tokyo. 50 or 55k people both nights
🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻Queen Su
As others have mentioned, "we have" now have learned from this guide and made better more to the point ones. But all of them are info dumps on your head which for some might even be a bit much and confusing. :-)
31:38 "that's mad !" No, just Babymetal doing what they always do: "do things other (metal) bands can't do."
They had 2 fan club members only shows in: one male one female in 2015 already. And their very first Babymetal-only show had the requirement: buy the album special edition and wear the neckbrace to the show LOL So dresscode isn't a new thing for Babymetal at all.
40:10 our best guess, which at least has some kind of proof, Yui might have back issues. Which obviously takes a long time to recover and could easily mean she couldn't do full tours with Babymetal again. So in that light her decision would make sense.
41:33 what is good about having a third person on stage dancing is that they can get back to the old choreography which works better than trying to adopt them.
43:30 usually with these things Babymetal fans have contact with each other online and it's usually hours at the most for any such facts.
44:29 you mentioned Yuimetal and Moametal are in sync... now think about Moametal have to train 3 new dancers and be in sync with each of them in a different way (everyone is different).
at the legend s show everyone was given a black hooded cloak and black fox mask to wear, even security were in costume
@@chrisharris1522 Yeah, it's great.
You also have to think, as Yui said herself, she was "wanting to take advantage of this opportunity to pursue a solo career," so that also makes a lot of sense.
@@LOLMAN9538 My personal best guess is: she said she wanted to pursue her other dream, my interpretation is: her previous dream was actress, so I think she'll do that
Who here remembers about Moa's flying shoes?
That's awesome🦊👍
nice userpic
50+ minutes about Babymetal is short amount of time.
Please react to Black Babymetal:
1. Onedari Daisakusen live at Makuhari Messe Legend 1997
2. GJ Proshot Live
I don't like Proshot compilations... Maube for GJ is better to use one of the "Babymetal Reactor Resource" channel videos. THere is GJ from wembley there, or the Legend S one.
Very nice reaction.thanks
Tbh the latest guide to Babymetal is better it's more acquired than the one you've reacted there it will led you know more of yui's departure plus more about recent times
For reactor I still prefer the unhelpful guide: sure, there is some man-hating comments, but it's quite funnier and some little details are lost in the latest guide, like the "Moa is not small" part
🦊🤘
❤Moa Metal
On at least two occasions, Yui was on-stage wearing a fairly obvious back brace. Also, her facial puffiness was thought to be due to cortisone treatment for said injury. The simple fact is that, due to the private nature of Japanese people, unless Yui herself chooses to say differently, we will never know for sure. It is important to remember that Yui has never been officially "replaced;" the three backups are NOT her replacements; they are part of the continuing lore. Real fans will continue to support BabyMetal, but the loss of Yui and Mikio are very real. The One understands that...and, I was sickened by some of the vicious rumors about Yui's departure. I hope that Yui recovers and can return to music...but, Yui is a very smart girl and might be excellent in university or in another branch of entertainment.
Someone wrote a really good post about how Koba actually put BM on hiatus in plain site after Yui left. They removed the name Babymetal from the stage and dramatically changed the costumes.
Its dubstep not the babbabab 😂 you know mixing genre, the song's name uki uki midnight.
Great song.
There is a far better guide to Babymetal by CrypticMisery, a short and a long version. The best thing you can say about this "Unhelpful" guide is that it's outdated. It practically skips over the Kami Band, who are the "metal" in Babymetal, spends too much time on the Avengers, of whom only one remains, and treats Yui mostly like a clueless sideshow.

I hope you enjoyed the trailer🤘
New Guide Reaction Please☝️
About the foxes (kitsune), they are a symbol of Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples dedicated to the "Inari" deity, but the foxes aren't gods themselves, at least in Shinto or Buddhist thought, although Babymetal (namely Koba-metal, BM's impressario) has elevated the foxes to god status. Basically, it's part of Babymetal's shtick.
@54:35 That's alot better than previous videos. Good job lol
You seem stunned by a 10 member pop band check out AKB48
Indonesia 🇮🇩 🤟 cming
This unhelpful guide is really cringe for me especially in Riho part.
Agree there was more time spent on Rino than the others even Su , Moa, Yui !
the feminist that made the guide needs to grow up and get over her man hating, babymetal is about incluiding everyone, but she missed out on that very important point
Boohoo. Seeing yall genuinely angry about it makes me glad she put it in lmfaoooo.
99% of BM fans have moved on from Yui's departure (I might still be in the other 1% 🍅😉) and support BM and Yui on their separate paths. But, Yui has become a bit of a Yui-nigma because she hasn't been photographed or seen in public for three years while remaining under contract to Amuse. She recently contributed some comments to the SG 10th Anniversary Book, but other than that...nothing. So how long can she stay under contract to Amuse and on hiatus? Maybe she's working on something, but her strange public contract/work status must surely change at some point.
It's not accurate that Yui hasn't been seen in public. There have been sighting reports of her in Kawasaki and Yokohama, in Kanagawa Prefecture, which is her home (an hour or two drive, depending on traffic, from Tokyo). A number of Japanese BM fans have concluded that she's been attending university there. Although Yui is still listed on Amuse's roster, it's not known what her "contract" status is. It's not unusual for Japanese entertainment management agencies to keep people listed on their rosters for sentimental reasons even if they're inactive or effectively retired. Another way to look at it is that Amuse is leaving the door open in some way.
@@otobokegaijin6218 I don't expect her to be locked in a tower etc., but there have been no photos and no Amuse sponsored public appearances. I hope she is going to college as that experience is something that I think Su and Moa might regret missing later in life. All we know is that Yui is still attached enough to Amuse to have a page on their website, but is doing nothing for them publicly, and any further comments on her contract are just speculation. So until her page changes or disappears the "we just don't know" status quo will continue, but 3 years is getting to be a long time given that SG grads like Hana and Ayami got dropped quickly when they had nothing to do.
@@cuttysark8017 True, ultimately it's all only speculation. It's interesting, by the way, that on Amuse's profile of Yui her Sakura Gakuin years are listed but no mention of her Babymetal activity. Does that mean they're holding out hope for her eventual return (i.e., they don't want to list 2018 as the final year), or on the other hand, does it mean she's persona non grata as far as BM is concerned? I guess OTFGK.
@@otobokegaijin6218 There has naturally been some distancing of BM from Yui. Her leaving must have been difficult for all involved and BM needs to put space between themselves and Yui to forge a new path. I know that privacy is still important in japan and Yui has said that dignity is a quality a "Super Lady" should have, so I think that if she continues in entertainment with Amuse there will eventually be a statement and if not her page will just disappear.
You did the wrong guide :(
Other guides have more info, and have really good in information, but this one, it's the most entertaining to watch by far xD
Both guides have their merits and faults. The older guide is full of bias, hatred toward men, wastes time on Avengers and nothing on the Kami and is already outdated (and no Avenger will ever become a permanent third). The newer guide could have also been better but Cryptic knows that full well. I was hoping he/we would find someone real to do the voiceover and not the robot voice he chose. The slides contain way too much information and should've been more light for easier reading and it's overall less humoristic. So the perfect guide does not exist yet but with these two I'm 50/50 happy so that'll do.
@@Zedem0n I may have a real voiceover for the next one I do. Though people seem happy with the voice I used for the video I put out two days ago and it’s so much easier for me to do it this way. If I had to contact someone to re-record lines every time I changed the video I would never get anything done. Lol
@@Zedem0n The newest short guide is a lot more to the point.
I agree that the ones by CrypticMisery are better, but let's not now bombard reactors with such comments after they've just dedicated almost an hour to learning more about Babymetal. You don't want them to feel that they wasted that time for nothing.
Keyboard is much better for slight navigations.
@djentlee, I just noticed (after watching your video for the 3rd time, lol) that you were confused about the scene with the foxes pulling something (at 25:59), so I wanted to give you some info about it. This scene is from the Legend "S" Baptism XX show (there were 2, on December 2 and 3, 2017) at the Hiroshima Green Arena (Su's hometown/city/region, whatever you wanna call it), and it was the most epic concert opening scene I've ever seen.
