⚡ 💕 / 🌟 ✨ I love the evolution in their power metal songs, from 'Ijime, Dame, Zettai', to 'Road of Resistance', to 'Arkadia'. Moa's backing vocals are great, and Su's voice just soars on this song. That footage was from more than one concert, so you got to see both Kano and Riho as supporting dancers, and both the "Kamis From the West" and the "Kamis From the East". I was at the LA Forum concert. That was the first performance outside of Japan. You could distinctly hear Su say, "Forum! Thank you for coming to see us! You are the best!", so there you are. Su said it herself. : ) I feel sorry for the folks who left the venue before the encore ('Shine' and 'Arkadia'). It had been quite a while before this concert since they had done any encores. By coincidence, I was in the audience the previous time, for 'From Dusk Till Dawn' and 'Road of Resistance' at the Hollywood Palladium back in June 2017.
I am so glad that you found the time to do this review! I think you were the first person whom Babymetal reactions I really enjoyed and was looking forward to back when you did that long run of covering essentially their first two albums ^_^ As others mentioned before, the account that posted this Arkadia video has uploaded a number of very high quality BM videos, all based on live footage, so you might definitely want to explore that, including for songs you may already have reacted to (for instance Papaya with the live audio from F. Hero really adds another layer to that song and is the superior version for me) Also hope you managed to watch some live footage of BxMxC since you reacted to the recording - even if there are no pro-shot version of that song yet, there is enough decent fan recordings out there that translate how epic the live performance of that particular song is ;)
Great to see you back. There has been quite a few of these compilation videos going up lately so there are finally videos of reasonable quality to react to. The song just before Arkadia is called Shine. Its more ballad like but it's a beautiful piece of art.
Arcadia is good but you have to do Shine now. I love this song. At the Forum they did Shine and then went into Arcadia. Both together was awesome. Hard to believe these 2 songs were the encore and lot of people actually left before this because they didnt think Babymetal does encores. Live Babymetal is so good. You have to see them live to truly understand.
What a beautiful BEATIFUL song, the channel where this video came from have aa lot of pro shots of mainly news songs, you should really check it out! This concert was incredible, they used the three avengers (backup dancers) and ended with Road of Resistance and Ijime Dame Zetai with the 5 girls on stage and 8 musicians, both the Japanese and the international members (first time they played IDZ since 2017 iirc)

Great reaction / review, thanks! I'm very into power metal so this one has become one of my top favorites in no time. I have to fully agree with you: Mr. Barone is a beast on the drums and the guitar work is excellent. Yes, I cannot forget the usual outstanding Su's vocals... it's almost unbelievable how good she is. Some songs are just perfect and this is one of them (at least to me) See you next time!
Great to see you again! As you can see, BABYMETAL still rock. I love the stage, there's screens everywhere, it looks like they are floating between them. It fits the Galaxy theme of the latest album very well. I particularly like the middle part of the song, for some reason. I would like to see you react to "Shine", but I'm not sure whether there's a decent video on TH-cam. And if so, it would probably be likely to get blocked (so is this one, though). :-) I'm addicted to BABYMETAL reaction videos, so I'm happier the more I find, but I totally understand (and actually recommended to some reactors) not to do rush it. You don't want to drive away viewers who don't like the band.
Wonderful reaction and analysis to a song that doesn't get much recognition. I loved it from the first time I heard it, with the power and technical brilliance, to the epic vocal arrangement.... And then I discovered what the message is, and what they are saying with this song. This is their statement song, coming out of the grief of 2018, third part of the Trilogy of Lights, where they say they are done with their grief, and are moving forward into their future. Brilliant, epic, and my favorite off of Metal Galaxy. Thank you for doing this song 🤘🦊🦊🦊🤘
@Matt React - It's actually a compilation video. It's from the Forum and a concert in Japan. They look so similar though it's hard to tell. Babymetal reddit has a list of all the Babymetal pro shot concerts and links to them. 30? 40? Some are google drive links but others are on other sites like Dailymotion. Dailymotion has Metrock 2015 highly recomended that crowd is so awesome. Also Makuhari Messe 2015 another great one. I think Tokyo Dome as well.
Leave it to Chainsaw to provide a most comprehensive review. You’ve spoiled me when it comes to reaction videos, and I wish most other reactors would take note.
A real highlight from Metal Galaxy, equal first with BxMxC for impact and innovation. But this one edged it for me for the emotions involved: from what I understand, This song is for Yui, and you sense Su and Moa are giving it their all.
I loved your reaction!! But you should turn the subtitle on, is such a beautiful song!! If you enjoy this song you definily will love Starlight, you can Watch it in the same channel :)
The three songs, including Arcadia, mentioned by tiaopiak, are typical epic BabyMetal songs. For the most part in my opinion, the rest of Metal Galaxy, is a very different animal. Very different from the first two CD's. That does not mean the songs are bad by any means but do not expect songs of the likes of Arcadia, with it's level of complexity and length.
This was the third part of the Lights Trilogy this was for Yui-metal who left the band for health reasons part 1 was starlight Part 2 was shine starlight and shine are tributes to Mikkio who died while stargazing falling off observation deck
@@chrisharris1522 I am from a babymetal group if you listen follow your dreams that is what yui said I want to follow my dreams and become a solo artist.
Ah f*ck it, just milk it just like Amuse milks them hahaha. Jokes aside, it's always good to see you back with Babymetal, your reactions to them are one of the best!
Enjoy! Such a good song!
It's like Road of Resistance because it was also cowritten by Dragonforce. :)
Very epic as always babymetal
My favorite song from the album and happy birthday to Moa Kikuchi as she turn 21 on the 4th of July.

"Starlight", "Shine", and "Arkadia" 3 songs were called "a trilogy of lights". BabyMetal fans believe that all 3 songs are a tribute to Mikio.
On December 30, 2017, Kami Band guitarist Mikio Fujioka fell from an observation deck; he died from his injuries on January 5, 2018.

Yeah , the three song is my favorite from each albums 😁 . The Power Metal
Anthony Barone playing drum for babymetal, he skill drum like a samurai fast and so clean 🎌👍👍
The drummer for this particular song (audio is from Live at The Forum) is Anthony Barone. Such a beast drummer.
He is. He hits the drums so hard it sounds different. Better.

The stage show for Shine looks so freaking cool. That whole Forum concert was amazing.
Such a good song Shine 💖

Some people say that BxMxC is the best song from the album, but for me, Arkadia is the best song... My new favorite one❤
For me this is my favourite from the album as well. I was gutted that they never played it at the Apollo in London when I saw them.
@@michaelafrancis1361 it's s powerful that can only be played at shows like this at forum, or japan,
This is such a great song. But its even greater if you hear shine and arkadia together

NIGNT NIGHT BURN!! NEXT...
Where's the proshot Link at?
@@synco1732 Can't find a good one yet.
Bad thing is amuse keep on targeting Night Night Burn on AMR video channel.. What a bum..
When I saw this played at the forum I was left speechless. Id do anything to relive that night.
Wow long time since I seen a bbymetal reaction from you. Glad to see you reacting again!
The kind of song that, before u're realizing it, is taking you by the guts.
The meaning of this song is very great. Arkadia is my fav babymetal song now.
Best song in my personal opinion but it's just on of the many great songs for these talented musicians.
there are bunch of pro shot babymetal songs out there.

Some of the recent pro-shot stuff from older songs is really great too, maybe something to check out.
The melody of the chorus gives me Abba vibes. Love this song so much, it literally feels like an odyssey traveling through space at light speed.
Song of hope
You know dude, this song like come from heaven . Very very amazing . And this my favorite song from Metal Galaxy album 😊
A real highlight from Metal Galaxy, equal first with BxMxC for impact and innovation. But this one edged it for me for the emotions involved: from what I understand, This song is for Yui, and you sense Su and Moa are giving it their all.
髭さんリアクト相変わらず最高！
This song is so EPIC.
This song make me cry 😭
new band maid video just got released on their channel: freedom Live
I loved your reaction!! But you should turn the subtitle on, is such a beautiful song!! If you enjoy this song you definily will love Starlight, you can Watch it in the same channel :)

My fav song...
the best BABYMETAL reaction on youtube.
Most favorite reaction video of this song😄👍☀️
Great song, but definitely a fan compilation edit of 2-3 shows.
Very true but for a compilation its very good.
Legend M definitely and Forum or Metal Galaxy shows or all 3 as you said .
Keep it coming man I'm readyy!!!
Where can I see the BabyMetal original video?
Give Band Maid (freedom-live) a listen! Epic. Drum solo. 🤘🤘🤘
Leda cygnus kami band member composed this
👍
not first
finally
this is not kamiband?
It's the western Kami Band (american musicians). The audio was taken from the live performance at The Forum in Los Angeles (October 2019).
This was the third part of the Lights Trilogy this was for Yui-metal who left the band for health reasons part 1 was starlight Part 2 was shine starlight and shine are tributes to Mikkio who died while stargazing falling off observation deck
The Trilogy of Light has nothing to do with Yui, but yes Starlight may totally be a tribute to Mikio
who knows but yes listen to all 3 in order takes you through a roller coaster of emotions
@@chrisharris1522 I am from a babymetal group if you listen follow your dreams that is what yui said I want to follow my dreams and become a solo artist.
@@joeslag No matter what group you are from (unless it's the *band* itself), it's just fans' assumptions and speculations.
Please react to Band Maid Freedom Live is a new video in the official channel
Ah f*ck it, just milk it just like Amuse milks them hahaha.
Jokes aside, it's always good to see you back with Babymetal, your reactions to them are one of the best!
Babymetal is not metal, do not understand their language:(
Su-metal: Don't think, fell..🤘🦊👌
Do BxMxC !!
