- Opening Translation:
Legend 1997.
(referring to the year of Su's birth)
It is told that receiving the legendary neck brace from the god of Metal,
she shall abandon her human life and be reborn as a goddess.
The bloodline which has been passed down from ancient times
is destined to be the guide, boarding the ark of time.
The apocalypse is prophesied
DOOMSDAY comes
There remains... little time..

For me personally, this is the absolute best metal performance I have ever seen!
The ending part literally knocked me out
Total pagan ritual.
Imagine front row center!
@@artunblock9433 these 3... well... bosses.
no
Imagine, you standing next to the Stadium and have no clue about BabyMetal and hear: DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH
LMAO
Or better yet, if the only thing you know about them, is KARATE and Doki Doki Morning.
But to be fair, as I understand it, this song's very existence, and the over the top stage theatrics, was created as a middle finger to everyone who said they're not metal. Because brother, that's the most metal thing I've ever seen!
CULT ALERT
HAHAHA
Jajajajajja LOL
so basically is an entire song just to say "hi"
i love it.
more about to present themselves
The song _"BabyMetal - BabyMetal Death"_ is a pun in the Japanese language
Japanese speaker have a lot of difficulty to pronounce the _"th"_ at the end of the word _Death_
That sound does not exist in the Japanese language. Therefore, they pronounce it _"Des"_
In Japanese, the word _です_ or in our writing _"Desu"_ (the letter "u" is silent; pronounce "Des") mean; "I am" or "we are"
The song is a way for them to present themselves
BabyMetal Death lyrics :
Death _(6 times)_ followed by Su-Metal Death
Death _(6 times)_ followed by YuiMetal Death
Death _(6 times)_ followed by MoaMetal Death
Death _(6 times)_ followed by BabyMetal Death
Then they sing the letters : B, A, B, Y, M, E, T, A, L
However, the Japanese Pronunciation of the song is :
Des _(6 times)_ followed by Su-Metal Des -> I am Su-Metal
Des _(6 times)_ followed by YuiMetal Des -> I am YuiMetal
Des _(6 times)_ followed by MoaMetal Des -> I am MoaMetal
Des _(6 times)_ followed by BabyMetal Des -> We are BabyMetal
Therefore, we should sing "Des" and not "Death" with them in live concert
* The word "Desu" have the letter "u" silent when we pronounce it normally, however if we have to pronounce that word slowly, the letter "u" is no longer silent
@@FreddyYUL Holy actual fuck! Ty!
@@FreddyYUL hiii feddy how are you
@@FreddyYUL THANK YOU I NO LONGER HAVE TO EXPLAIN
@@FreddyYUL this is the most informative comment I’ve ever seen
If my funeral doesn't look like this, I'm not coming
Yeaaaah
"You can't be metal with 3 tiny girls as lead singers"
Babymetal: hold my beer
hold my chocolate...
2 tiny girls now 😭
@@9yearoldepicgamersoldier129 2 teenagers :'(
Moa is actually 19 this year and su is 21
lol
Yui: Oh no! Su passed out! What do we do?!
Moa: I know! Let's crucify her!
Yui: Sweet!
omg lmao
Lol
Riff Raff 😂🤘
This comment wins! Lmao!!!
You sir, are a comment god amongst men. I salute you!
That moment when you realize three cute little Japanese school girls are more metal than you.
Riff Raff True tho
Don't underestimate the bassist... he's a big metalhead in the group!
Erik Bandinelli Well, the backing musicians are well-established in Metal and BABYMETAL's producer is a big metalhead.
She's like 19 😂😂
Nope, she turned 16 the day before this concert.
Other band: "You hardcore?"
BabyMetal: Pretty much."
Other band:"What hardcore thing you do last night?"
Babymetal:"Crucified our lead singer. Live. On stage. You?"
Other band: "............"
The act of which also was so metal it tore the head off a statue of the virgin Mary
@@Senecal it was actually a sign or symbol of Su's rebirth as the Metal Goddess to send message to the world to BECOME ONE! special message from The Fox God
@@adamazri928 that's even cooler lol
XD
“Did we mention it was her birthday too?”
Listening to the solo at 6:13 makes me realize the tremendous loss of talent we had today. Mikio Fujioka, thank you for sharing your talent with us. May you rest in peace.
kuffar infidel 🙁 I know it's crazy he's gone.
Not even that the smile he had eveytime he did it
So true.
It's not mikio. Backthen, he was not yet playing with babymetal. The solo may had been perfomed by Leda or Takayoshi.
@@DonDaniellllll That was Mikio.
Takayoshi was on guitar on the other side of the stage and Leda couldn't pull that solo off like that. It's too fluid and legato, like Mikio's guitar hero Alan Holdsworth.
Here is a translation of the opening sequence.
"Legend 1997.

Yoshiki's LEGENDARY NECK BRACE?
I would drink the Kool-aid...
⚡ 💀 💕 / 💀 💀 💀
That concert was on a Saturday, the day after Su's 16th Birthday.
She got to go back to school the next Monday where her classmates could ask if she did anything special to celebrate. : )
I guess that means she had the whole Sunday to recover from her re-birth. I can imagine it being kind of strenuous.
How many 16-year olds have been worshipped as metal goddess?
@@autohmae Probably Massive Headache
She just threw a slight party with a few friends.
“yeah i just got crucified and completely reborn, nothing special.”
watching this again after so many years, it still is the most edgy, hardcore, over the top metal performance ever. the theatrics are craaaazy.
This is literally a straight up pop performance. There is no difference between this and what Gaga or Madonna do on stage. I’m sorry but they are a bunch of posers. They are a like *NSYNC meaning it’s a manufactured pop group.
@@tsxtina2919 i kinda agree with you but hey for a first metal group from japan they really broke boundaries. Most metal bands are american, german and whatnot. Also younger artists performing in the metal stage is kinda new to many
@@tsxtina2919 also id rather have this than kpop
@@evobsm2328 wierd but true
@@tsxtina2919 poser
This is the most metal thing probably ever. There are no words to describe my love for this crazy shit.
Yes it is super satanic indeed, it’s a fuckin ritual bra
@@jasonbobbers8484 oh whatever leave please we're tired of hearing that shit, the bright morning star isn't bad
Are you a guy or a girl? Cuz I can’t tell
Same tbh
IDream0fDeathbutDreamsDon'tComeTrue why don’t more people understand that?
This has to be the most epic performance of Babymetal Death ever!!
~Blue-Eyed-Stray-God~ Check out the Legend S performance
The only problem with Babymetal Death at Legend S is that Yui is missing and I really like how at Legend 1997 Mikio gets more spotlight, other than that Legend S is better. So I would say: they both have their own advantages. :-)
@@autohmae legend s WITH yui would have been the perfect live experience and greatest show of all time :) good thing she was missing so we can still look forward to improvement :D
@@MetalGuitarTimo "good thing she was missing so we can still look forward to improvement :D"
That's putting a very positive spin on a very sad topic.
@@autohmae true, thats all we can do for now ;')
I've known about Babymetal for quite some time now, but I've been long underwhelmed. I thought the fans were just overhyping the group. But that music, with that performance and atmosphere... Sorry I'm so late, guys, but I get it now.
Welcome to the BABYMETAL FAMILY!!
Same here. I discovered Babymetal mid December last year. Since then, that’s all I’ve been listening to. Apologies for being so late as well.
Welcome 🤘🦊
Never is too late.
I'm waiting for they come to my country for years and years.... And I'm always will, no matter what..
Welcome 🙏
Anyone who says "Babymetal isn't metal" needs to be linked to this video
I perfectly agree
@@guilhermecait2840 Duuuuuuuuuuuuh i Like Babymetal sooooooooooo i agree also
@@guilhermecait2840 hii is suzuka abandoneding her Humam to reborn as a metal Goddess
and here i was, being a metal purist and thinking Babymetal is shit without listening to their music first..I WAS SO WRONG.
If all purists would turned to be like you, peace may prevail on earth.
@@Zigaboomusiczig I'm a metal head but I love it when other cultures put metal into their music it makes it 10× better
You Guys still exist?
No. You were right
Cyrus Garner Don’t be a hater.
Started listening to this band recently. I just want to gush about how brilliant this song and performance is. This is the first song in their first album and perfectly introduces the band with a bi-lingual pun. To westerners it sounds like “Baby Metal Death” (the title of the song) but Japanese listeners will hear “Baby Metal-desu” which is like “We are Baby Metal”. Some people say that the crucifixion is Satanic but it’s more like goddess worship. It plays on the word “idol” by changing it from “pop idol” into something more like “pagan idol”. They are so cool!
Most Christians would think goddess worship is satanic though,,,
Satanism is worshipping to Satan, and they're not doing that. They're just worshipping Su-Metal (the main singer) as their metal Goddess. Obviously this is just a metal show. So chill out!
@@dorianleakey That's not so much Satanic as it Sacrilegious
To be fair, most Christians would not know the difference between satanism and paganism.
Martiddy - Sama Satanists do not worship Satan.
Rest in peace Mikio Fijuoka
Alejandro Bernal I had no idea he died. Terrible news. I really loved his skill and feel but absolutely loved his stage presence. What a drag. So young.
+Alejandro Bernal - I want to upvote your comment but I feel it would be rude. Fujioka-sensei, ko-Gami, was one of a kind and will be missed terribly.
Huh. I thought Leda did this concert, but that smile can't be anyone but Mikio.
Mikio Fujioka Little God :(
Alejandro Bernal oh the guitarist nvm
Hoo is that?
It's 2024 and this is still the best metal performance I've ever seen!!!
We can make a religion out of this.
Okay...
OH YEAH YEAH WE CAN
@@massivepp6969 OH YEAH YEAH!!!!
The religion of the Fox god?
#NOTACULT
Heaviest Babymetal song so far
1. Babymetal Death
2. In the name of
3.Sis Anger
Ijime Dame Zentai is not far also
@@FreddyYUL it's heavy but it's a single. My list is about dark side of the album.
@@bavackyantho5485 I agree with you, "In The Name Of" almost makes me break things in my house when I'm listening
The new version of Babymetal Death played at Budokan (only some fancams available) sounds even heavier
Akumu no Rondo is actually the heaviest by far.
There is literally nothing better than this
Yoonbum Tokyo Dome
Legend S?
Teamo
Do you mean prefabricated music or what they want to show in the video?
nothing is free in life
God exists the Devil too, and neither of the two play what they recreate in this videos if you think that God does not exist ago this and nothing will happen, you are wrong
@@JHONNWALKING bro it was a comment based off of their musical prowess, it had literally nothing to do with religion
You can’t be metal with 3 tiny japanese girls as lead sunger
Babymetal : hold my chocolate with extra milk
Cho! Cho! Cho!
This is one of the best live performances of the last decade, bar none. When I initially saw this, I was blown away, and I thought that they set the bar too high, too early. But they have proven me wrong over the years, continually releasing quality music and putting on strong live shows. I've been a fan of this group for a long time, and I hope that Babymetal continues to shine for many years to come. They have a bright future ahead of them, and have the potential to reach Iron Maiden and Judas Priest level of legend.
Aren't they already?
*+Asy* - Regrettably, not yet. I'm pretty sure creator/producer Koba's ultimate dream is for Babymetal to sell out Madison Square Garden (20,000), and they aren't close -- the most they've pulled alone in the USA is 4,000. It'll take at least two more great albums and way more media coverage.
For reference, X-Japan played MSG, but I don't know if they sold it out. Babymetal did not sell out Wembley Arena (12,500) in London but came within a couple hundred tickets of doing so. Europe is way more densely populated and metal is bigger there, so it's an easier task than MSG.
I don't know if Babymetal will ever be stadium-big outside Japan. I hope so.
Perhaps the only reason they havent pulled more than 4k people in a US show if because they havent performed at bigger venues, im pretty confident they can do at least 8k shows but OTFGK
Soufriere They already sold out the budokan 2 consecutive nights.
That was Japan, he's talking about selling out an equal size Western venue, which they haven't been able to do (yet).
People told me that metal couldn't be cute at the same time....This proves them wrong
They sing, they dance, and sometimes do theatrical, pure entertainer
This must be one of the most metal things ive ever seen, and ive seen metallica live...
well metallica isn't even the best of metal, but this was metal as fuck!!!
Metallica 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
FruitbasketNL I think you never seen Rammstein live
Oke
FACTS
Hail black metal
I love the part where Su screams and Moa and Yui run for their lives..
That was highly unexpected.
This was like some slayer level shit and I need more.
I think it was at SoniSphere 2014 where the girls got to hang around backstage (they'd opened the stage) to watch Slayer perform.
Yes it is, if you mean demonic, then yes
@@jasonbobbers8484 NO ONE CARES
Jason Bobbers how Christian of you.
Old school Arch Enemy…..
Holyyyyyy shit, I probably could be offended as a kid who grew up on Catholic stuff, but I love seeing mythology repurposed and rocking the fuck out, what production.
Lots of people have referenced this show, what a fucking banger it is. They rule, I'll see them every time they come around, guaranteed.
This is insane levels of stage production. Babymetal Death is by far the best opening track I've ever seen for a live show. Look at the crowd. If you get it, you get it.
Sorry but it seems that you believe the statute in the background is the Virgin Mary ( your catholic remark )..
The statute is Lady Justice.
It’s not the Virgin Mary. Has nothing to do with religion.
Metallica had a famous concert in Mexico during 1986 and they had lady justice statue too. Babymetal are paying homage to that concert here. It’s Suzuka’s 16 birthday.
Jesus, that build up, then the scream, then all out pandemonium on stage during the killer solo by Mikio(r.i.p) followed by the death chant....it just doesn't get any more metal than that. This song is pure glorious thrashing death metal!
This shit never gets old.
It's the most over the top metal experience ever.
Long live BabyMetal
Play this at my funeral...
Their so gentle with her hair 😂
Of course, considering that's the precious hair of the queen Suzuka, well it obviously has to be manipulated carefully.
4:52 Yui tucks Su's hair behind her ear. So precious🥺
Thats moa
@@familyfriendly3064 ooh thank you! I still have some problems differentiating them in their earlier performances😅 Thought Moa and Yui were siblings, when I saw my very first Babymetal Video (Gimme Chocolate).
@@gintonic5770 it's ok.. Some time they are really looks similar..
Babymetal board room meeting:
Ok, now just hear me out here fellas. How about we have flashing red and white lights, gigantic screen with a gigantic statue, fire, lots and lots of fire, Su, Yui, & Moa, introduce themselves in their normal girl voices after which Su gets crucified with people standing around in dark costumes holding crosses, all while Kami Band plays the darkest metal riff and the crowd pumping their fists and repeatedly shouting desu, desu, desu, desu that people will surely mistake for the word "Death!"
Its just a rough sketch but I think we can work with this. Thoughts?
That's a nice trick to take a power nap during a live gig.
Norway: We're the death metal masters.
Japan: Hold my sake.
Norway specializes in black metal
yeah...this is an awesome song...but nothing really about it is death metal
Even the dude who burn churches will be scared of this.
Yep. Sold. GOD DAMMIT I'm sold. I love this band.
This is unironically one of the best metal songs I've heard
Yknow what I just noticed.. look at the amount of phones up in the crowd.. I barely see any! If that doesn't say something about this band, and especially this performance, I don't know what else does. Absolutely incredible.
Yes and no, .in Japan they abide by rules more than a lot of other countries and just as in the west the bands say: don't film, enjoy and in Japan they actually listen.
That's the most intense and hardcore babymetal song I ever heard!!!!!
Now that's how you put on a live show......speechless
I can't help but wonder how sore their knees are when they are done bouncing up and down like Micheal Jordan on a pogo stick for most the night.
Connie Smith one word: very
rest in peace mikio fujioka you have been working hard for us and babymetal and also kami we will never forget you the legendary guitaris
always love that simple drum pattern change at 3:22 can't help but head bang to that part
that section yeah, I could just keep rewinding it and keep listening without listening to the rest of the damn song and still I am satisfied.
Exactly the same feeling...that double-bass section always has got me...over and over again...all of the sudden, I see myself air-drumming that part...and I am not shame to admit it!!!
I bought all 3 of there albums tonight. No shame.
Just to let you know, there is also a live CD
"Live At Wembley Arena" audio CD :
www.amazon.com/Live-At-Wembley-Arena-Babymetal/dp/B01MTLBDA5/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=babymetal&qid=1585959257&rnid=2941120011&s=music&sr=1-7
That’s always how it starts. Soon you’ll fall down the rabbit hole of live concerts which leads you to looking up interviews and show appearances until you reach the point where you snap out of a daze and realize you just spent seven hours binging Sakura Gakuin content.
Everyone involved in making this is a freakin' genius. The whole BabyMetal thing, really.
I just can't get over this video. I think a lot of metal bands could learn a lot from this track.it's frustrating when a good sounding song starts off hardcore and fast and making me want to thrash my body around everywhere, then slows down and gets boring. This track never does that.
Mao and Yui were like "oh shit we're fucked" 6:10
Friend : hey bro, i want to create a metal song. Any suggestions?
Me : just shout death multiple times and introduce yourself.
Friend : isn't it boring?
Me: nah, it's badass enough
I just realized they introduce themselves during the song.... 🤦♂️
Damn, I really got sad because I’ve always had the idea of going to one of their concerts to see Yui, Moa and Su; but now, I’m only gonna be able to see Moa and Su 💔💔 #thankyouyuimetal
No so called metal bands in the US would even attempt something this awesome
Yeah it's usually a Swedish Black Metal band that does stuff like this.
This is probably the most metal thing I've ever seen! Makes Slayer look soft!
"babymetal isn't metal!"
babymetal: oh really?, wwatch this.
-how hardcore you are?
Babymetal: yes
a long way from Doki Doki Morning. Love it!!
Yes! The fusion of Metal and JPOP is complete!
I am new to the fandom.. and when I tell you I was not expecting this nor was I ready, I mean it, BUT I AM SO HAPPY I CLICKED ON IT HOLY SHIT.
When I first showed my girlfriend Babymetal, we were watching the livestream of the Red Night and Black Night concert at Tokyo Dome. When she saw all three girls crucified on crosses, she was like, "WTF?" But I'm proud to say she is now part of the Babymetal family.
That drummer is metal.
had to scroll pretty far to find a comment about this fucked up drummer
yeah, even added some blasts beats
Words cannot express how happy I am that something this insane actually exists
the first time i heard babymetal death i instantly fell in love with this band
How do I explain this is NOT a cult.. People will think its Satanic😭😭💀
Tell them that the statue is Lady Justice and not the Virgin Mary believed by jesus freaks..
They’re Japanese, they care not for your magic man and his idiot son’s 🐂💩
When I want to have some fun, it’s gotta be Pa Pa Ya, Yava or Syncopation, etc. When I want to break my neck head banging it’s Death or Sis Anger.
The most over the top performance I think I have ever seen, metal or otherwise. Along with In The Name of.. from the Legend S show, proof that no one does anything quite like this. Completely bat-shit crazy, and I love it.
6:11 the moment it gets LiT AF bruh
It's been years and I still can't get over how they went from "haha chocolate" to being crucified in front of a 5 meter tall statue of Virgin Mary that explodes by the end of the track
Only the fox god knows 🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻
They premiered "Gimme Chocolate" at the very same show. It's actually their official video. Then they end the concert with this Banger.
this remains the most metal concert performance i've seen
That audience must have been totally freaking out. The drama, the emotion, the imagery is beyond powerful, beyond compare, it's other worldly! Su screams and Moa and Yui go crazy, that's a scary moment. The audience is mesmerised and moving in unison, the best audience ever. It's not like haven't watched it loads of times but every time is gripping and naturally there are a few tears of anguish ❤❤❤🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻
Went to my first concert of theirs and this was the opening song, of course. It wasn't as theatrical but god the feeling of being there and being part of the chanting (I chant desu instead of death) was definitely an experience that will stick with you
That changeup at 3:22 gets me every time!
I've seen this live many times over many years and it never gets old... in fact, this is the best version of it I have seen :)
I like how Mikio always looked in ecstasy when playing xD
5:38 That awkward moment you in the crowd looking around and wondering if u just joined a cult or something...😓
You don't want to be the band that's on after this!
You're on after BabyMetal... Oh s**t, pack the gear up
look and listen i piss on my self too much metal
The bands that have used them as opening acts (Lady GaGa, The Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Metallic, Gun's N Roses) have been acts who are confident in the strength of their own live shows and wanted a strong warm up act.
you are wrong, it's big four opening for Babymetal
autohmae holy crap! Crowd was pumped lol
i swear we are not a cult
- every babymetal fan ever
Yui will be missed on BM. I hope nothing but the best for her future endeavors.
This is more metal than saying the time I said no to morphine in the back of an ambulance
And people say Babymetal isn't metal. Lol.
Who is saying that that’s crazy
Bendito los ojos q vieron ese concierto en vivo.
Babymetal is legit. What an amazing performance and stage show.
Drummer in a Metal/Rockband here....The band is out of this world..Not the most representative song though.Gimme Choclate,Headbanger,Road tto Resistance,Catch me if you can and..Always see Baby Metal Live!..Cheers ,Laz
The most amazing thing I've witnessed in a while.
showed my dad, huge fan of metal this, he loved it
Got to see them live FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY in San Diego. It was a short set since they weren't the main attraction but I loved EVERY minute of it! Good stuff!
I would soo love to see them tour with other Japanese acts like Band Maid and Japan X.
Wow! Those girls must go through a brutal fitness routine. Takes a lot of stamina to be able to jump around like that, dance and sing. I remember having tons of energy when I was young but these girls are amazing.
This is what happen when they not giving them chocolate
My favorite comment! :D
This video is so fucking hype. Oh my God. With this blasting in the background you could lock me in a cage with a bear, a cougar, and a spoon and I'm walking out with 2 new rugs and some soup.
Every live show i watch of them gives me goosbumps its crazy 🥹 i love them so damn much !!!
Only discovered Babymetal about a month ago and I’ve been in a Babymetal hole every since, obsesseddddd
By far the most ADORABLE crucifixion I have ever seen
This sort of performance is why Rob Halford called these girls more hardcore than Rob Zombie.
The video to show anyone claiming BabyMetal isn't metal af
MOA AND YUI’S RUN WHEN SU SCREAMED WAS SO CUTEGSGHSHSB
This is where SUE-METAL became our GODESS QUEEN and an IDOL LEGEND!!!!
Slayer fan here....this right here is the real deal. In the top 3 metal performances of all time along with Reign in Blood (when the band got drenched in blood on stage) and Metallica in Moscow after the fall of USSR (probably would choose Harvester of Sorrow).
No but how did Su even feel being worshiped?? Like I'd have to hold my self back from evilly laughing and calling everyone my slave children. You go Su-Metal, be the goddess of us all, follow your dreams girl.
Legend 1997, this show is about Su's birth year that's why they did that.
+arbalest T - Specifically, this concert was held December 21st 2013, the day after Su's 16th birthday. It was a way to show that the child Suzuka of Sakura Gakuin was gone, replaced by the Queen Su-Metal.
From what we've seen, Suzuka in real life is really humble, maybe that is why she could hold herself back. Also she has been on stage since 5 years old, she knows how a show is made.
I think the humble and the respectful nature of the 3 of them not big headed , arrogant or anything and have so much charisma.This has Endeared them to fans , interviewers and fellow performers across the world.
Here is a BABYMETAL mythology: Su, the lead singer, died as a normal school girl on the cross and was reborn as an agent with a mission to restore the glory of metal music to our world. The neck brace is a symbol of heavy metal. Wearing it means to wear the mantle of metal music. Think about it as a story in a musical theater.
Another important fact is that the song title is "BABYMEAL DEATH (DESU)", which is a word play on Japanese and English words. Since Japanese language does not have "th" sound, they replace "th" with "su" and pronounce "death" as "desu". Now "BABYMETAL DESU" in Japanese means "[We] are BABYMETAL", a self-introduction.
So, the whole thing means this. We are BABYMETAL. Our mission is to revive metal music. We sacrifice our normal life (we work very hard) for the mission. That's BABYMETAL and that's who we are.
one of their best live performances holy shit
If somebody walks in the room while I’m watching this, no, I’m not joining a cult.
