This compilation video is a bit chaotic, but thanks for your reaction. Headbanger is one of Babymetal's biggest hits. Usually Su is the only singer, but there are special versions for girls' birthdays where Su sings the first half of the song and Moa or Momo sings the second half. Personally, I think the best experience is to watch the regular version of Headbanger first (Headbanger legend 1997 is the best version, with Su, Moa and Yui) and then watch Moabanger and finally Momobanger. Thanks for your videos.
I was there to see Momobanger live and we were all blown away by it. I was right in front of the stage extension between the stage and the AV desk, so I had the perfect view. We expected that it would be good, but I don't think anyone expected that Momo's interpretation would be so unique. The combination of Momo's kawaii vocals along with the death growls was really something extra. There are various online guides that explain what the actions and chants are, and there are several fan clubs as well. Mostly you can just go along and follow along with what everyone else is doing since it's not that complicated. This video has cuts from a few different performances interspersed with the Momobanger performance. It was necessary to get around the copyright, as there is only one performance of Momobanger to take video from. This particular compilation is kind of ass, but some other compilations are alright. It really depends on the particular video. You could use the community tab to announce which song you want to do next, and we can post videos of good performances of that song you can react to. What is happening is probably more clear if you watch Moabanger, since they did the same thing at that show as well. Basically, Su sang the first part, they she handed off the mic to Momo for the second part. Everything you heard after Su handed off the mic was Momo on lead vocals. There is a better version of Momobanger that was posted recently that doesn't have all this old footage in it: th-cam.com/video/19nntDDbYdg/w-d-xo.html
Momobanger is the best Headbanger version. I love her smile, her voice and her energy. She is a perfect third member of Babymetal ❤❤❤ Great reaction even if it’s not the original.
It is a crime to listen this song without the original first because you don't know the context and why this special live performance and song is important for the girls, hopefully you will follow our suggestions and met the original formation at least a couple of songs. What is even worse this is a live compilation. See you next time.🦊🤘
@@Abigirl_Reacts You're a valuable reactor and that's why we wanna give you the best BM experience while being safe from getting blocked. Hope everything in your daily life gets better.🦊🤘❤️
Whoever edited this video was an a**hole and didn't bother matching voice to singer, you're not to blame for not knowing so it's all good 😉 I would recommend videos from For The Fox God channel for BM,they do a good job and have been posting videos recently from the Legend MM 2024 show where this performance comes from . Plus they pretty much always include English subtitles too 🦊🤘
I'VE GOT ALL THE CHILLSSSSS WOAHHHHH!!! Another great Video ABIMETAL! I didn't mind the comp video but I like the non comps better as you can see the emotion put into their singing. I'm wish you all the luck with your patreon! :D
Momo is the best, I adore everything she's brought to the band 😭😭 I'm absolutely down for you to see the non-compilation, it's really cool! Moa's is pretty neat too! If you want the original Headbangerrrr experience, the Legend 1997 concert version is what first introduced me them. It's AMAZING! I usually lean towards non-compilation, but I totally see why people use them :)
Nice reaction!🤘🦊🍑 I have no problem with compilation videos. I'm here because I like your reactions and your smiling face and of course I'm a super fan of "BABYMETAL"! By the way "MOA" is also a "great singer! Looking forward to the next video💖#NotaCult I'm sorry if my comments are hard to read because I'm not good at English🙏
@@Abigirl_Reacts I use two translation apps because Google translate from Japanese to English gives me strange sentences. I'm actually afraid to comment, but I love Abigirl's reactions,so let me comment!
The really cool thing about these 2 Legend MM shows was that we got some new lore added to their story. This time it was about Momo and her origin story, you should check out the Babymetal lore it's really fun and interesting to delve into that particular part of the Foxhole
Great reaction! Glad you feel better. Although, you high on your medication + Babymetal’s “iine! Official MV” will gaurantee 3K subs 😂. Jokes aside, this is a special performance, a Babymetal tradition for the girl’s birthday celebrations. Su hands off the mic to 1 of the other girls, in this case, Momo for her 21st Bday show (Legend MM, for Momo) in Mar 2024. On compilations: I HATE THEM WITH A PASSION!! But, I still enjoyed your reaction. For context: Legend MM was released Jul 10th on BluRay, so anything from this show is especially tough for TH-camrs to post for obvious reasons until ~1 month ago. Hence the compilations. I suggest you just use videos from *For the Fox God* channel. Why? Full concert footage in HD for each song, with actual live audio, subtitles, and NOT compilations. Best unofficial live video channel for anything Babymetal thus far, period. Here’s the link to Momobanger in its full entirety on “For the Fox God” channel: th-cam.com/video/19nntDDbYdg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=bYNdpF6R97BY7EKU Watch this on your own, then you will ask yourself: “WHY TF HAVE I NEVER USED THIS BEFORE FOR MY REACTIONS?!?!” Look forward to the next one!! 🤘🦊
Thank you so much for the info, I've gone ahead and subscribed to the fox god channel. No more mistakes! We'll react again PROPERLY. Can't do momo wrong like that haha
@@Abigirl_Reacts Haha, thank you! And no worries at all, no reactors new to Babymetal can blind react AND also know which is the “right” video to react to, lol. That’s why we’re here with the suggestions! 🤘🦊
I mean... Sorta? The community does have, like, guides to interact in shows. You gotta remember that BABYMETAL is a whole act, the conjoined effort of a huge staff of people hitting their marks down to the milimeter, knowing our part is a way to be part of it and put in at least a sliver of the work they put every show. At least that's how I see it regarding the community attending the shows and knowing the chants, singns and other stuff.
Most compilations are great. The only reason why fans want reactors to avoid them is so they won't get confused. But if you realize it's a compilation going into it then you won't get confused.
It was Momo, there is for this song the original was Su but for their birthdays there are versions with Yui, Moa, and this one Momo, so there is 4 different versions of this song, Not sure if anyone broke it down for you, but the song is about a teen girls very first metal concert experience, basically breaking one’s metal virginity
I know I'm late to the party on this one, but while I'm fine with about 90% of the compilations (particularly since they're made to get around the horrible automated TH-cam copyright nonsense) this one is probably the only one I absolutely hate. Whereas with most compilations it's not TOO bad because generally Su is doing all of the singing so the focus is on her regardless of the venue the song is performed in, this version of Headbanger was Momo's time to shine and whomever made the compilation should NEVER have had shots of Su singing with Momo's voice. It borders on disrespectful. Just so it's clear, the fault does not lie with you as you could have had no way of knowing. I'm so happy you were able to see the "better" version in a later video. Sadly I can't become a Patreon due to a complete lack of disposable income so I don't know whether or not you've already covered Momo Taro (Momo's performance of Meta Taro) but I definitely recommend it. It's a fun song (apparently one of Su's favorites) and Momo bears her fangs again. It's fantastic.
Yea i hated this compilation too but it was the first to pop up and I don't understand why! It has so many views! But yes I'll definitely have to check it momo taro. I've never heard meta taro though. Do you think i need to listen to meta taro first to appreciate momo taro?
@@Abigirl_Reacts From a personal standpoint I don't think you need to see/hear the original Meta Taro first. It is a fairly simple, fun and bouncy song and the singing duties in Momo's version are split between Momo and Su pretty equally in the Live version much like they were here in Momobanger. This vid from the For the Fox God channel is perfect: th-cam.com/video/T-jMjN8gk2Y/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wu7q3xi432yCd17p
@@Abigirl_Reacts You're more than welcome. I find a lot of the vids posted on that channel are great for reactors (or, you know, just fans of Babymetal). I hope you enjoy it!
All the audio is from the Legend MM show, after Su passes the mic to Momo, the Su parts were just video filler. 🤘Also I believe the half mic stand was done in homage to Freddy Mercury from Queen, only difference is all the crystals on it. 😆
Thanks again from Japan 有難う。 Don't worry. Sometimes choice of compilation video is good because the authentic source video may get blocked when it is relatively new and not ofiicially released. (I have never viewed any Momobanger reaction video that covers real and whole "Legend-MM" version) Juxtaposition of growl and overly cutesy (intentionally anime-like) voice by Momometal. That is new ammunition of BABYMETAL. Momoko cannon loaded with sheer dark explosives and a warhead made of shiny and bubbly metal. I witnessed this performance and got crushed into pieces, smilingly of course, at the venue. Everybody there was also honored to have a chance to celebrate Momoko's last day of her 20 years of age.
Great reaction ... but you understand now why we recommend you don't do first reactions with compilation videos. We want you to have the best possible experience the first time you see and hear a new song and some compilations are just really confusing so you're trying to work out what is going on rather than enjoying the performance. Some are OK, but every now and then you get one that has been put together really badly - sadly this is one of those. The only good thing (apart from your reaction of course, that is always good) was that the audio was all from Legend MM (Momometal's 21st birthday concerts), so it was all Momometal's vocals and screams for the second half of the song after Su handed her the mic and stand. I hope you are feeling much better now.
Have been missing you AbiMetal. Glad to see you are back. Congrats on your 1500. MomoBanger, one of my favorites to showcase Momo. You are correct, it is Momo, the compilation can mess with your mind and experience, that is why people are against them. The compilations on "for the fox god" channel is the best ones, so I would advice to use those. The reason for the compilations is to combat copyright.
My opinion on pateron: the tier 2. some people will be angry about the " It's just for you!" exclusivity. One way to combat that, is: do tier 2, with all the perks you have described already, but also release the reaction on YT later, as a patreon member react vod kind of deal. I believe there will be pushback on the exclusivity deal.
Me watching this compilation already knowing Momobanger: no problem. Me watching you reacting to this compilation and get really confused: annoyed. Me stumbling upon this compilation while trying to watch Momobanger for the first time: pissed off and stoping the video to find another one.
Ya, every performance has its nuances, compilations can confuse you ( which music track are they using, things don't match up) more than it should. At least you know ( and tell us you know) it's a compilation.
Welcome back, Abimetal! I'm glad you are feeling better and congratulations on 1500 subs! Compilations are bad, mm-kay. Unfortunately, that is the only way to get new and one off performances past copyright. Some are just bad and some just suck (like this one). You should trust your ears when you have to use a compilation. You said yourself that you know what Su-metal sounds like. The more you listen and get to know Momoa (Momo and Moa), the easier it will be to distinguish who is singing. Watching interviews and their Sakura Gakuin materiel will help speed things up. Great reaction and I look forward to whatever is next. Kitsune Up!
Oh my goodness, you're the third to say videos like these are good for getting around copyrights but I got the most flags on this video. I don't understand! I'm figure this copyright stuff out. I may just need to watermark it like I've seen others do.
@@Abigirl_Reacts The birthday shows are extra special. Not to mention that this Blu-ray was just released. So, it will be next to impossible to get it past copyright.
The compilation for this one is a bit odd, normally they are fine to show the band in various locations and it's fun, but where it's breaking context in this it can be distracting. That said the real fun of this performance is Momo growls, brilliant, and fun watching!
By watching live videos you learn...I went to concert and knew everything...so its not difficult...Even our local baseball team (Hanshin Tigers) has a song for every batter and different ways you smack your little plastic baseball bats together... Japanese people are crazy!!! Fun!!!!
Well......... it wasn't Legend 1997 or Makuhari 2023 (with subtitles), but it WAS the worst Headbanger video I have ever seen!!🤣 And you STILL enjoyed it! Just goes to show what a great live number this is! Still love your reactions, but good advice is what it is.😁
The order in which I watch BabyMetal Headbanger is 0. Official MV (Su received a gift from the Fox God and the origin of audience worship) 1. Legend 1997 version (Su birthday) 2. Legend M version (Moa birthday) 3. Legend MM (MOMO birthday) 4. Yui banger (Yui birthday) 5. Legend 1997 Night of 15 Mix version (surprise version) Thanks for your good reaction.
Agreed. But Abi started on MM, so lets maybe go to that timeline... and jump to MV. :) Ah.. and yeah.. I'm not a fan of compilation videos as well... but I respect those that do. But you can buy the BluRay or the DVD on their shop... and let me tell you.. it is worth the money!
Those are momo's growls. It was great confirmation that she could in fact growl, and that it was her growling in Metali. It's a big deal as she can satisfy the "scream" part of her role as "dance and scream". Of course, we get to hear her growl again in Ratatata. It's another tool in their chest of things they can bring out and enhance what they're doing. As for this compilation, it was nice when it came out originally as we didn't have a full version of Momobanger to watch, but now that the real version is out, this is "meh". Compilations are fine if you understand this group and know who they are. You're a bit newer and still learning, so the confusion comes a lot quicker. Good luck finding a good version of Yuibanger, if you're so inclined. And Moabanger is just as awesome in a different way. Anyway, I am enjoying your BabyMetal content and there's plenty of other great Japanese bands out there if that's a direction you want to go in.
Glad to see you back! As others have said, if you want unofficial videos, you are probably best sticking with the For the Fox God channel. That is a channel that really cares about quality.f As for Patreon tiers, I personally suggest not keeping videos private to Patreon. Post them there unblurred and let the $10 members vote and watch live and early. Post a week or two later here. That way, you get more good content for this channel that feels a bit different than other content and the TH-cam viewers don't feel like second class citizens. I say this especially because you are currently so devoted to just the two bands you have been watching and your current channel subscribers would probably be kind of upset if you reacted to any "important" videos there in the private feed. This will become especially an issue, I think, as you start to move through the majority of the well-known content. The patreon could also probably help you find some other bands to listen to. If a reaction goes over well there, then it might be a good one to post here a week or two later. That could be true if you really hate something, which may result in a good one-off reaction. It would also end up being great if you end up liking something and want to start watching more of that band/group here. Again, your existing audience won't miss out then just because they may not be able to afford to join. To me, something along those lines feel like one of the best ways to both give something to the patrons while still helping you grow the community here. Also, something else that I've seen some reactors do is grant full access to watch some videos on Patreon for everyone if it gets too restricted here. That hopefully wouldn't need to happen often, but it would also give someone considering joining the Patreon something to see there to help understand the added value.
David heretic has a $1 tier so that you can watch any of his videos that get blocked for just a dollar. Thats really a good deal if you don't want to spend a ton of money and just watch the videos. The higher tiers get to vote and make requests. It's a logical way to do thinga.
Oh! and congratulations on 1.5k! Glad to know you're doing well, I was getting worried not seeing an upload from you as were a few of my friends who watch your channel! I was at a coffee shop with my friend Akane and her girlfriend, and she looks up from her phone mid latte and was like "Abigirl hasn't posted in a bit?" and we all checked to make sure lol. We will watch your videos when together sometimes and were worried! So rest assured in a random cafe in nyc a small group of idiots were using their one shared brain cell to worry about you and your channel this week lol.
Ok I'm legit crying. It seems making babies has made me a real softy and emotional wreck hahaha yoooouuuu caaaaaarrrrrreeeeeee waaaaaahhhhhhh hahaha thanks so much for caring ^_^
@@Abigirl_Reacts lmao, nothing wrong with being emotional about gaining a community :) And of course we care! The babymetal community fought tooth and nail over a decade to get people to take the girls seriously. So when we see a channel pop up out of the ether, not just focusing on the band but doing so with respect, care, and enthusiasm, we mirror that :) Not just that, regardless of the bands you cover, you've created some awesome content! We love the babymetal reactions but all your other stuff is dope too lol. So I want to reiterate that I doubt any of the BM fanbase will abandon you if you do other reactions as well lol. 100% serious about helping you with the channel btw. We want to see you succeed! (PS: congrats on creating new humans!)
Nice reaction. At least the audio is all from a single performance. You can hear SU-METAL's lead vocals at the start with the other two doing backing vocals. Then SU-METAL passes the mic to MOMOMETAL to finish the song, so you get just her voice. At this point SU-METAL doesn't have a mic, so all the backing vocals are just MOAMETAL. (Sometimes the backing vocals are pre-recorded, but that's not the case here - you can clearly hear the differences.) People dislike compilations because they confuse people reacting to them. 😁They can also contain spoilers by including key footage from special shows. Some are better made than others and there are some tracks that work fine cutting footage from multiple shows - this isn't one of them. The reason they exist is because you cannot get full uncut footage from most live releases on to TH-cam without the risk of a copyright strike, so this is the work around. For this specific version of Headbanger, this is your only choice to get a reaction on TH-cam. BABYMETAL have only released four studio albums and a compilation in just over a decade, but have released live albums for just about every tour, so live video is where they are making a lot of money. They have to be tough on copyright infringement to protect their income, so they are not going to allow people to watch unedited footage of significant moments free of charge. Their most recent live show is about to hit cinema screens around the world - they need to make as much as possible from these shows to offset the costs of staging them. This kind of thing isn't unique to BABYMETAL - it's very common for all Japanese artists and in some cases extends to MVs, as they are sold on special editions of albums with a premium price. Reacting to Japanese music can be high risk, so ensure you have all of your material backed up away from TH-cam If I were in your shoes, I'd be contacting some other TH-cam channels that do reactions to ask how they run things - equipment, platforms, approximate costs vs. income, anything to help you make informed choices. I know a lot of folk covering Japanese music now live stream on Twitch for an easier time with copyright, which would suit your one take reaction format quite well. They edit their live streams to get clips for TH-cam, so they can cover both platforms while minimising the time commitment. Plenty of opportunities to get micro payments for those equipment upgrades. Personally, I think your current video and audio is fine, although a better mic would certainly improve the sound of your voice. If your computer is struggling to process video, that's where I'd spend the money as it'll probably make the biggest difference for you.
Oh no Abi! You should’ve gone for the original version first! 😮 well it’s not a big deal but I think you could’ve gotten a better experience if you watched the different versions of this song in this order(to learn the main context of the song mostly and to know why is this song so special for the members): 👉 the original version first of this song(mv video) 👉the “legend 1997 concert” of this song 👉Moa version of this song ❤ 👉and to the last this version of Momo ❤ But anyways the most important part is that you enjoy it much 😉🤘🦊🔥❤️ Oh I didn’t know about your health situation hope you’re completely well now! ❤ (I wrote my comment while I paused it at the second 0:01 haha that’s why I didn’t mention it at the beginning of my comment!❤
One more thing I see that you picked a wrong video to watch that concert bc it has footage of 10 different concerts and the visuals may trick you a little bit, that’s why it’s called compilation(I recommend you to watch the one I’m gonna tell you by attaching the link bc is the best one for that concert and that version of Momo singing ❤(rewatch it off camera if you wish, we would love to see your proper reaction tho) th-cam.com/video/19nntDDbYdg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ttAQSK2MqgnM1DKs Also if you want to React in another video the version where Moa sings this is the link th-cam.com/video/MToMx6RCW-M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=PvUmqC2vqnFeoohR
ouch is compilation abi...😂...for reaction babymetal adventures it's best to avoid compilation videos because it will be a bit confusing... especially for headbangers there is a su metal moa metal yui metal version and what you see is momo metal banger... because headbangers all versions are to celebrate their birthdays...🦊🦊🦊
There was a LOT of difficulty from the community trying to get this one up online. (As far as I understand.) So the compilation, and the changes in playback speed. (I feel it went to 90% of normal speed.) Hearing Momometal take the main mic was the point, even if the video had to be switched up for copyright. (Hence your natural confusion.) Also: Compilations vs Live vs Live Official vs M/V: (IMO) Actual Live, mistakes and all, are by far the best. Live Official is almost always a video of a live concert with the studio audio synced up. That's good. Compilations are usually kinda meh but sometimes it's all one can get away with. The actual M/V's are hit and miss, and only a couple are revered throughout The One. (Doki Doki Morning, Karate, Megitsune, iine) Also Also: The M/V for Ijime Dame Zettai is perhaps the worst possible choice for that song. It's a charmingly bad piece of BM history, perhaps... but just about ANY other option for IDZ is better~ Thanks for sharing your reactions, off to join the patreon~ 🦊🤘🦊
I hope you get around to doing the Legend of 1997 version of Headbanger. It's probably the most iconic performance of this song because it was Su-metals 16th birthday show. This entire concert was presented as a rock opera of sorts because it represented the transformation of Su from an idol princess to a metal goddess. Culminating with a performance of "Babymetal Death" which was an epic and memorable theatrical version of that song 🦊🤘
Yay, you're back! Yeah, it sort of sucks this compilation was so shoddily put together - it's a huge issue in the Babymetal world in that there are loads of fans who throw these things together and upload them so it's difficult for newcomers to select the best versions of things to react to. It's a shame as some creators like Kitsunesama and Who? make excellent ones but then there are dumpster fires like this one, ha.
Congrats on 1.5k+ subs, and I'm glad you are feeling better! I too was checking everyday for your next reaction video, even though I'm already subscribed and should have gotten a notification...but I still checked anyways just in case! LOL!🤘🦊🤘
if you heard Headbanger for the first time you started in the wrong order, you need to watch the Legend 1997 first, which is the original then the Legend M (Moa Is taking the mike) then the Legend MM . For the compilations, this is the worst one , but if you want god quality videos with subtitles for Babymetal go to For The Fox God channel. Nice reaction #NotaCult
Congrats on finally getting to this one. The video cuts between Su performing Headbanger and the Momobanger version, but the audio is Momobanger. You can tell which is which because the girls are wearing the black outfits in the Su performance, while they're wearing their modern, colorful outfits for Momo's version. Compilations are okay, but I think the original video is always better. It really comes down to what you enjoy; if you're okay with a compilation and can't find a regular video, then go for it. Otherwise, avoiding them is probably better.
Hi, peter from Ireland, hope get to full recovery soon, I am sure you will notice comments about this particular comp being bad. Follow advice go to for the fox channel the proper one from legend mm 2024 is cool and I think everyone here would love to see you do the proper show, it's worth doing a 2nd review particular of this one, also sane show momo doing meta taro. We all still appreciate and liked your reaction and comments to this one though, not your fault this particular comp is the worst of all the comps 😊 keep up good work 😊
hiya no worries two good resources is, for the fox god, especially for all the latest legend mm including momometal headbanger. Also hymnodic channel, he often comments on reactor channels and great resource for info 😊
Glad you're on the mend! I *was* wondering, as I caught up on all your videos just last night. You definitely need to see prev versions of this song (you don't have to do it on camera, tho of course we'd love to see it - new version = new reaction...for reals, we dig it. Hell, even a different video for this version would count). Headbanger has a long history. This is just a hideous compilation of this super special version of the song. (We don't love compilations because they are usually just poorly done. There are some good ones, tho. And some songs can only be found in compilation form, so of course they get a pass.) There's a nice high def single performance video on...I think For the Fox God's channel. It's worth checking out. Also, I squeed just exactly like that the first time I heard Momo scream. XD 🤘🦊🤘
Haha OK good point! So you think even though I've already heard momobanger, reacting to a different video of it still counts as a one take? If so then I'd love to do it! I just may need that link you're referring to cause there's so many versions.
@@Abigirl_Reacts Definitely. As long as the video is not scripted and your reaction is genuine, that's all that matters. We'll watch you react to the same BM song as many times as you put it in front of us. Considering how bad this comp is, I don't think it should count. XD BUT I think you should watch different versions first. This is the most recent. Do Legend 1997, then MoaBanger, and then you'll be coming into MomoBanger with the necessarily context. 🤘🦊🤘
I'm glad you're feeling better! Compilations do take away from it but I know it can make getting through copyright issues easier as well. I would watch the one suggested in other comments for yourself so you can see the whole video to the audio you just listened to. There is also a good Moabanger version where Moa sings th-cam.com/video/MToMx6RCW-M/w-d-xo.html If I may make an additional request (I have mentioned this one before but it's my favorite song of theirs atm so I'll request again shamelessly lol) Divine Attack live: th-cam.com/video/INRPP78SvXs/w-d-xo.html Su is credited as the writer for this song Whatever you decide to do next I'm here for though thank you for doing these.

Ahh thanks Mogel, I didn't really have a choice because I can't monetize hardly any of my videos due to copyright infringement. And I really want to upgrade the channel! I'm get there one day right? 🤘🦊🤘
Yeah, this compilation sucks (although there are quite decent ones out there) but the song and Momo's performance are amazing. 🙂 Her screams are so cool (and I usually don't really like screaming).
This is a tough one to get past the blocks, which is why the compilation exists, so don't be too down about it. The lore before the song is really cool though, and worth checking out on your own time.
Congratulations on the progress of your channel! Keep doing what you're doing. Also do not feel bad about not uploading just because you're sick or anything. Life happens. Another great reaction in the books. Can't wait for the next one! I think the patreon ideas you have are great. Definitely worth exploring for sure. ❤🤘
Compilation videos? 0/10 Your reactions? 10/10 Personally I don't like the compilations. As you said, they splice together different moments that throws off the whole feeling... it's not a music video, so it shouldn't be compiled, in my opinion. For example, in this one: Momo sings the lead exclusively after her big growl, even though it shows Su's mouth moving again. Su is shown with her microphone scepter after she passes it to Momo. Nonsense editing like that is what rubs me the wrong way, heh. That said, your reaction is A-OK! I'm here for the reactions and to enjoy my favorite stuff again with a new fan, so no matter how you do it (compilations, bands, live vs music video, etc), I'm all in. Also, glad you're feeling better! Don't hesitate to put your health first in the future, just like you did this time. We'll still be here when you're good to go. BTW if you listen to the original vs this version, you may notice the lyric "ichigo no yoru wo" becomes "hatachi no yoru wo." That's because the original song is about turning 15 (ichigo (yes it can also mean "strawberry" but it's "ichi, go," or "1, 5," in this case)) and the Moa/Momo versions are about turning 20 (hatachi). Patreon? Say less. I've already joined, but I'll get in touch once the Discord is open, since my real name is on Patreon but I prefer my screen name to be used publicly. New gear, let's get it!
Ahhhhh you're a founding member yaaaaaay! Thanks so much. We'll get better quality streams incoming in no time and it starts with less compilation videos LOLbl thanks so much for the support ^_^
The real name thing shouldn't be a problem. In your Patreon settings (under "connected apps") you link your existing Discord account.. so if you have a Discord account using your nickname.. then it won't automatically make you a new Discord account under your real name and log you in etc. But if Abi is making patreon supporter credits for future videos, then yeah - you should definitely give her a heads-up for that 👍
@@Wagoo I'm pretty sure I got that set up, but I'll double check on the Patreon side. Abi and I got in touch, and it's sorted out for the credits too. Thanks for the info!
The confusion that compilations create is why I think it doesn't suit reaction channels. You can only enjoy compilations when you already know what you're watching.
Oh dangit, that´s exactly the compilation I warned you about... the compilation of all evil 🙄 I especially hate this compilation on the scale from 1 to 10 at level 12. It´s confusing, right? And you did Momo´s version first, instead of doing the Legend 1997 first 🤔 But hey, one take😅 And you got Momo´s voice. She´s awesome, isn´t she? The whole arena was bowing to her #notacult 🤣
Oh geez I messed up! BUT it's still technically a one take if I react to another (better) video right? Like if I were to react to a music video and then a live performance. Same song, different video! I think I just convinced myself. But... maybe I'll ask for the proper link to react to haha I just want a recent performance of momobanger that's not a compilation.
@@Abigirl_Reacts "For The" "Fox God" channel has a whole bunch of the "Legend MM" performances, even "Meta Taro" (Momometal vers.) 😉 In case of BABYMETAL, yes, one take, roughly. Same song, different video, different effect. "Monochrome" is the best example for that. Three versions, three outcomes (love the live, but also love the f1rst take vers., for very different reasons). In case of "Momobanger" it´s a bit difficult, as you already listened to the correct live audio. Just the video part was so messed up with this compilation...
There's a Momobanger from the MM concert that's the produced video from BM. But also there's Moabanger. There's also a Yuibanger. I had to watch the OG's first. ❤🦊
heh, not to worry. I will explain for you. That feeling of frustrated confusion you felt is what most viewers (not me) hate about the compilations. This was a one off performance for Momo's 21st birthday where she performed the second half of the song. the other concert clips edited in showing Su were just showing how the song usually is performed with Su as lead vocal and Moa and Momo doing dance and backing. the song itself is basically telling the story of a young girls first experience at a metal concert on her 15th (or 20th) birthday and how she will cherish the memory of it since it will never come again and she will grow to be a woman after this night. This is essentially a rite of passage song for rocker chicks.
I have no problem with compilations at all even if I prefer originals. This one is a nonsense tho, can't understand why to make a compliation of something that only heappened once
I think almost everyone would prefer to suggest the originals for reactions. The only problem is that we then get to see the same song reactions over and over again, because so many good concerts and songs are blocked as originals. That's why I can't understand notorious compilation haters at all. This specific one, however, is really very confusing. I would rather have shown the audience in moa's part than Su. Nevertheless, I am grateful to the creator.
In general I don't mind the compilation videos. But a bad editing is always bad editing. As far as I've understood, the official videos on the BM channel are always studio audio on top of a performance which is not a good option either. As others have said, there are people who make good compilations as a middle ground.
Great reaction. You should avoid compilations For LIVE I suggest that you use the videos on the Babymetal Reactor Resource th-cam.com/video/q40VmTHSh4c/w-d-xo.html There's more information in the description of that video There's also this channel with great-quality videos www.youtube.com/@Hymnodic/videos
I have never clicked on a video in my feed faster in my life! lol... TY for reacting to this one! (PS: My thoughts/suggestions on patreon further down if you don't want to read my wall of text lol. I have ADHD and an endless pot of coffee, its a problem XD) OH NO! lol... like a minute in, and I realized it's THIS comp... This one is unfortunately one of the notoriously bad compilations available on youtube lol. It doesn't match the vocals to the correct singer, and tends to jump around a lot. This is especially egregious because this cut was done to a special concert for Momo's 21st birthday (Birthday shows are pretty sacred for the BM fanbase). Everyone in the foxhole went ballistic when this cut gained steam on youtube lol. I want to stress though, this is NOT your fault lol. A LOT of react channels fell prey to this exact comp when trying to react to Momobanger. If anything I feel awful for you... It has to suck to be making a video and halfway through a first-react take you realize the content you're reacting to has been butchered. You did you job perfectly, and the original uploader of the footage did you dirty. To clear up some confusion, the entire last half was led by Momo, and the uncut concert footage is phenomenal to the point where it's in most of 'the other one's" top 3 clipped performances. (I don't know how deep you are into the babymetal lingo, but 'the one's' or 'the other one's' refer to babymetal fans). You have every right to be pissed at being duped by the uploader lol. I know I was when I watched this a while back. Idk wtf they were thinking putting something this bad together. Even if you don't post a reaction to it, I highly recommend hunting down the original cut. Su seamlessly floats into choreography and Momo looks a little anxious and emotional taking the mic. It's great. As to future compilations... They're so often bad that it's hard to say lol. There ARE some that are well done and label themselves properly as compilations though, so really I think that asking a third party superfan to watch the content first and letting you know if it's good would be a good call. For the other one's it's not really a matter of it being a comp or not, it's usually about how badly the comps are done. >< My thoughts on your Patreon. YES girl, YES! lol. I think your tiers and what you're offering are perfect. The ONLY change I'd reccomend is with your discord. Access shouldn't limited to just Patreon as discord is an incredible community building tool. You'd be hobbling yourself. You CAN however, lock off certain areas within your discord to 5 and 10 dollar subscribers. This helps you build your community and incentivizes people to chip in on the patreon plans to gain access to those channels. How I would do it is as follows. Free Discord: 1 Voice Channel limited to 10 people. 4 General Channels: General, Music, Gaming, Memes & Art, (Or something along those lines) 5 Dollar Discord: Everything in free edition of the discord as well as... 1 Video Channel limited to 5 people 3 Voice Channels limited to 10 people 4 more channels: Reaction Suggestions, Abigirl's Army (Fan channel), Reaction suggestions, J-Metal chat, J-pop Chat 10 Dollar Discord: Everything in free and 5 dollar edition of the discord as well as... 1 more Video chat limited to 10 people 2 more Voice Channels limited to 10 people 2 more channels: Patreon videos, Just for You Videos I have some experience in this as I've worked for youtube channels before as a video editor, Marketing consultant, writer, and community liaison... and I love your channel and think it has tons of potential :) Like, 'charismatic voice' levels of potential :) You have the right personality for this kind of work. Surround yourself with people/creators who have your best interests in mind, and whatever you decide to do with your channel, patreon, etc, I for one will be rooting for you :) Feel free to reach out to me via comments (or your discord whenever that's up lol) for help with stuff. I'm sure plenty of others in the community want to see you shine as well :)
... YUP. Thank you so much, I have some tweaking to do. This was great advice, thank you!.... how do I save this comment so I don't lose it...haha SCREENSHOTTING EVERYTHING
You're the only one to say they don't learn what to do at concerts lol it may not be a class per se but I've heard they do learn it in some way. The entire crowd doing the same thing is not a coincidence is what I've heard from other comments!
1:29 and you deserve it, the reason that i love your channel is because you are very sweet and kind with us. You read de coments and have always good vibes with you.
Hi Abi, don't stress about the compilation videos, they are a necessary evil. Babymetal protect a lot of their videos, especially if they have significant moments in them, like Momobanger or Moabanger, Shine from the Legend MM concert, or if the video has significance in a story arc for Babymetal lore, like 'In The Name Of' from the Legend S Concert, as examples. It's understandable, these are the moments that sell DVDs or Blu-Rays and contribute significant income for the band/production company. There are many good compilation videos out there and also some that aren't particularly good. This was in the latter category. However, the choice is often one of whether you record the original of a protected song and send it straight to Patreon, which is not ideal because only your paying members get to see it, which slows the growth of your channel, or you use a compilation video and not get the full experience of the original. Neither solution is perfect. However, most Babymetal fans will tolerate compilation videos as they already know the song and are really here to support you and see your reaction. Now, if you opt to record a protected version of a song and end up having to mask it heavily, most fans don't enjoy that as even though they are here to support you, their time is valuable to them and sitting through three minutes of blacked out video is not enjoyable, or a good use of their time from their perspective. One way to get around this dilemma is to use 'shorts' to let your followers know which song you are wanting to record and ask for safe videos, even if they are better quality compilations and people will point you in the right direction. This will lead to a little more work for you but should stop you from getting a poorly edited compilation video, or having your video blocked or getting a copyright strike.
Right! For me it's hard to tell which compilation is the better one. In this case, it was no bueno. But I'll ask for links from now on, they're super helpful and takes the stress off me haha 😄
🤘🦊🤘 Love your reactions, keep em coming but also take care of yourself foremost. As for the video it is edited badly due to copyright and showing Su instead of Momo singing, but the audio is Momo... These videos are heavily copyrighted because Amuse (the record lable) wants to sell the Bluerays from the concerts. They have not released videos from this concert officially on YT, this is ripped from bluerays. I personally don't mind the compilations, here for your reaction mostly. Watch the original Headdbanger and you will know how Su full version sounds, makes it easier to distinct this stupid compilation video, Moa and Momo only doing Headbanger on their birthdays basically (this was Momo's 20th birthday), otherwise it is only Su singing, so these are very special, therefore Amuse wants to milk the *beep* out of it...
Hehe I tried disputing the copy right saying that this is for commentary purposes, I'm not trying to infringe on any copyright, I'm giving the band thier credit. I've never been denied so fast in my life haha but I don't blame them. It's thier right!
@@Abigirl_Reacts yeah Amuse is a pain in the buttox when it comes to copyrighted stuff and that is why this was uploaded as a compilation :) and alkso why many fans of BM understands the need for compilations, even though they suck.
Lol, that confusion with Su vs Momo singing was part of why it's usually best to check the original version of Headbanger first. Momo really changed up the way it was performed and makes it very obvious she sings. I think with this performance, I don't think there is really an upload that isn't a comp due to the copyright stuff. But this comp seemed very odd... did it slow down and speed up there? I think most don't mind compilation videos, the only problem is there are some VERY bad comps and it is hard to know which ones are good. Some completely throw off the choreography and doesn't do the song justice. Nevertheless, the audio is usually all live and a single track so it can somewhat be saved. In the end, I think most people watching will (should) just be happy for you to enjoy the dive. Just if you react to a comp and don't like it, give another live version a chance on your own time :) Hope your recovery continues well and congrats on the 1.5k!
👍Glad you are OK. Momozilla showing her fangs. Would suggest you watch "Babymetal - Headbanger (Momoko ver.) (Legend MM 2024 Live) Eng Subs" on your own. 🦊 🖖❤
Congrats on 1.5k! The thing with compilatons is that well edited ones can be benign and totally fine but bad ones can be confusing as hell (like this one). I suspect this one was edited like this to avoid copyright strikes (the Legend MM concert is very new and I'm sure Amuse has their claws out fully regarding it). But IMO it would have made more sense to just cut to crowd shots or whatever instead of using footage of Su singing over the audio of Momo singing. These performances are extremely rare, done in celebration of Moa's and Momo's birthdays (highly recommend checking out Moabanger too). The normal Headbanger has Su singing exclusively and is also one of their classic must-watch videos.
"For The Fox God" is where you need to go for the best Babymetal videos. That channel has the full Momobanger, just put a watermark on it if it gets blocked :) This vis is all F up lol, the song slows down (for whatever reason) and the compilation just doesnt work at all. If I were you, Id go check out (For The Fox God) Momobanger. But you said you wont because youre a one take channel, witch I dont understand or think is a good idea, but thats you,,, Theres several videos youll miss because of that... I would sub to you if that wasnt the case, but i dont like that you wont rewind a part or watch the actual video, Thats just me.
It's ok Abi, don't be so down. It's not your fault. Nice reaction Abi. 😀 I can confirmed that it was Momo that was growling. One guy I forgot his channel made an analysis and breakdown with Ratata song, he found out Momo can growls. I'm so surprised. 😂
I am being hard on myself. I missed the fact that it was a compilation in general AND I chose a bad compilation now lots of people are saying they hate the video (but still love me!) So I shouldn't be too disappointed. This is a lesson learned! 🤘🦊🤘
@@Abigirl_Reacts Hahaha. It's a good thing they still love you and hate the compilation. 😂 Don't worry. There are lots of things about Babymetal to explore and discover. My suggestion is The not so extensive guide to Baby Metal (April 1st 2024).
You should definitely check out the recently posted video from the DVD from The Fox God channel (just for yourself) so you can see Momo's whole performance. I'm not bothered by compilations too much but you do miss out on full choreography because of the cuts and if it's a special performance like this one it does lose impact.

Yeah, not a fan of compilations at all - for exactly this reason, it gets too confusing. I think this may be an especially bad one as I don't remember seeing them ever mess about with the tempo in one before like that.. yikes 😵 If I may make a suggestion: a relatively prolific reaction channel "David Heretic" has his lowest Patreon tier set to $1 purely as it gives access to any reactions uploaded that can't get past copyright on youtube. This liberates him in a way to focus on authentic videos to react to.. as if they get hit.. it's easy to justify supporting him to see them there. Compilations often get made as they get past the originals they are composed of being easy to use on youtube.. I can see what people are trying to do, but I always just find them a mess to look at.. and the less casual reaction channels who pay attention to the artists on stage tend to find the same problems with them (I'm saying they are for more LOW LEVEL reactors than your good self haha) In this case.. you can react to the proper authentic videos (and BABYMETAL has a crapton of them from loads of live blurays).. and if it struggles to go up on youtube.. you can just have a short upload or community post saying the full thing is on the patreon. Obviously $5/month isn't much either.. but I support 38 accounts on Patreon already so ya know.. it kinda adds up.. but another $1/month would be a no-brainer. Maybe have the credits stuff for $5 and $10? Anyway, just a suggestion This is their song Headbanger!! (Heddobangya-!!) which is one of their oldest songs. At various special times Moa/Momo/Yui (who you have yet to meet I think) have on rare occasions taken over the mic in this song and for fun the fans have modified the song name each time to indicate that 🎤 It's the first time I have heard of a school for BABYMETAL fans lol - but the girls originated from a kind of televised Sunday school called Sakura Gakuin (cherry blossom school).. so maybe some wires got crossed there? Knowing when to shout from the crowd.. and what to do.. just comes naturally from us going to a lot of concerts and watching a lot of concert videos! \m/🦊\m/
Quick...get outta my head !!!! i was totally thinking about you today [and here you are !!! ] knowing you hadn't done this song yet and that I'd just found the real version and not the compilation which doesn't give Momo the full credit she deserves being it was the night before her birthday when she gets to do this. Kind of a "ceremonial" or "traditional" song for Babymetal that started When SuMetal had her 15th bday. Then it was Yui's, Moa's and the last one....Momo's I'll leave you the exact titles to look for and enjoy the real versions but was hoping to get this to you before you reacted to this. The day after, the day of her birthday, she does "Meta Taro", another suggested one to react to and to which I'll leave the title for you to copy n paste. The page i get these from....the best live videos done by the page creator. Just pointing the way girl.🙂 If you want a bit of history on them, as i see some fans advising this, I set a list up in my youtube account so i didnt have to keep explaing it to people i know how Babymetal came to be with a few of their first songs, their darker times and up to their latest concerts. it's under..... "Read description !! My POV story of Babymetal" Anyway....was wondering where you been and good to see you and your smile again. ❤ Keep smiling and still lovin your reactions to Babymetal.

@@Abigirl_Reacts that's how we learn, right ? You're doing awesome. I seen another one of your followers mention the same TH-cam account as where I'm trying to send you They have most of Babymetal's songs and they're very well done and I think almost all have english subs as well. As far as never leaving....lots of room other than a few daily tornadoes that go through so...make yourself comfortable but buckle up. 😁🤣
This one is poorly put together compared to other ones I've seen other ones all you see different usually is the outfits and sometimes a camera view that clearly doesn't fit and different locations but it's always clear who's on the mic i don't mind these but it bothers me when it shows two different things going on
Glad your feeling better! This version is poorly edited but at least the sound is correct. Typically videos from For The Fox God are well made and are not a frankenstein compilation from different shows/years. A great reaction nonetheless. A good follow up would be MoaBanger so you get an idea of what she sounds like too. th-cam.com/video/MToMx6RCW-M/w-d-xo.html Moa has more songs as well where she sings solo.
This is one of the compilations that I passionately dislike, just for the reasons you just experienced. It’s highly confusing, but what‘s even worse: This whole performance is Momo‘s great moment, and at least half the time when she sings, we blatantly get to see Su. Who does something like that? Is it really so great to be able to call oneself the editor of a video that it‘s worth unleashing such a messy piece of work unto the world? Not your fault, of course! :-)
Unfortunately you happened to have chosen the worst compilation video to react to of this performance. It's no fault on your part, whoever put this together did a really bad job of editing and they didn't always match the voice to the singer. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the next one 🦊🤘
It's unfortunate that you didn't react to the normal version of headbanger first, but it can't be helped now. 🤣 As a fan, watching compilation is fine. But for someone to react for the 1st time, it can be confusing. So I suggest AVOID compilation. That specific compilation is a mess even for us fans. Have seen better ones. It was Su singing for the 1st half of the song up until the bowing/worshipping part. Then Su switch to Momo and it was her singing and screaming till the end of the song. I guess now there's no better time to react to the normal version of Headbanger. Babymetal - "Headbanger" Live at "Legend 1997" 2013. (video from the "For The Fox God" channel would be a good choice) Anyway, continue diving into the Foxhole! 🦊 And ignore any rude comments! Some commenters are a little too passionate about reaction videos sometimes. 🤣
I can certainly feel the passion! I might redo this one, I just need a link to momo's recent performance of this. Hopefully I choose a better one this time! Haha 🤘🦊🤘
Great reaction! Yeah, this compilation is a mess, but it's so nice to hear MOMOMETAL that most of us don't care. Tip towards some gear! 🤘🦊🤘
I'm so happy. You're my very first super thanks! THANK YOU SO MUCH. I'm touched 🥲 and MAY be crying lmao I'm so emotional 🤘🦊🤘
This compilation video is a bit chaotic, but thanks for your reaction.
Headbanger is one of Babymetal's biggest hits. Usually Su is the only singer, but there are special versions for girls' birthdays where Su sings the first half of the song and Moa or Momo sings the second half.
Personally, I think the best experience is to watch the regular version of Headbanger first (Headbanger legend 1997 is the best version, with Su, Moa and Yui) and then watch Moabanger and finally Momobanger.
Thanks for your videos.
I plan to react to all versions soon!
There's also fancam of Yuibanger from 2014. The quality is low but the kawaii is off the charts.
I was there to see Momobanger live and we were all blown away by it. I was right in front of the stage extension between the stage and the AV desk, so I had the perfect view. We expected that it would be good, but I don't think anyone expected that Momo's interpretation would be so unique. The combination of Momo's kawaii vocals along with the death growls was really something extra.
There are various online guides that explain what the actions and chants are, and there are several fan clubs as well. Mostly you can just go along and follow along with what everyone else is doing since it's not that complicated.
This video has cuts from a few different performances interspersed with the Momobanger performance. It was necessary to get around the copyright, as there is only one performance of Momobanger to take video from. This particular compilation is kind of ass, but some other compilations are alright. It really depends on the particular video. You could use the community tab to announce which song you want to do next, and we can post videos of good performances of that song you can react to.
What is happening is probably more clear if you watch Moabanger, since they did the same thing at that show as well. Basically, Su sang the first part, they she handed off the mic to Momo for the second part. Everything you heard after Su handed off the mic was Momo on lead vocals.
There is a better version of Momobanger that was posted recently that doesn't have all this old footage in it: th-cam.com/video/19nntDDbYdg/w-d-xo.html
Saved, thanks so much for the link!
Momobanger is the best Headbanger version. I love her smile, her voice and her energy. She is a perfect third member of Babymetal ❤❤❤ Great reaction even if it’s not the original.
I agree! Momobanger rocks!
It is a crime to listen this song without the original first because you don't know the context and why this special live performance and song is important for the girls, hopefully you will follow our suggestions and met the original formation at least a couple of songs. What is even worse this is a live compilation.
See you next time.🦊🤘
Agreed 💯 %! I'm gonna fix this mistake

Whoever edited this video was an a**hole and didn't bother matching voice to singer, you're not to blame for not knowing so it's all good 😉 I would recommend videos from For The Fox God channel for BM,they do a good job and have been posting videos recently from the Legend MM 2024 show where this performance comes from .

The really cool thing about these 2 Legend MM shows was that we got some new lore added to their story. This time it was about Momo and her origin story, you should check out the Babymetal lore it's really fun and interesting to delve into that particular part of the Foxhole
Ill have to check it out soon!
Great reaction! Glad you feel better. Although, you high on your medication + Babymetal’s “iine! Official MV” will gaurantee 3K subs 😂.
Jokes aside, this is a special performance, a Babymetal tradition for the girl’s birthday celebrations. Su hands off the mic to 1 of the other girls, in this case, Momo for her 21st Bday show (Legend MM, for Momo) in Mar 2024.
On compilations: I HATE THEM WITH A PASSION!! But, I still enjoyed your reaction. For context: Legend MM was released Jul 10th on BluRay, so anything from this show is especially tough for TH-camrs to post for obvious reasons until ~1 month ago. Hence the compilations.
I suggest you just use videos from *For the Fox God* channel. Why? Full concert footage in HD for each song, with actual live audio, subtitles, and NOT compilations. Best unofficial live video channel for anything Babymetal thus far, period.
Here’s the link to Momobanger in its full entirety on “For the Fox God” channel:

momo scream: 👿👿👹👹💀💀
momo sing: 🥰🥰❤❤🍫🍫
Momo is my favorite!
I mean... Sorta? The community does have, like, guides to interact in shows. You gotta remember that BABYMETAL is a whole act, the conjoined effort of a huge staff of people hitting their marks down to the milimeter, knowing our part is a way to be part of it and put in at least a sliver of the work they put every show. At least that's how I see it regarding the community attending the shows and knowing the chants, singns and other stuff.
I'd totally follow this guide lol
Most compilations are great. The only reason why fans want reactors to avoid them is so they won't get confused. But if you realize it's a compilation going into it then you won't get confused.
I'm done with compilations haha
It was Momo, there is for this song the original was Su but for their birthdays there are versions with Yui, Moa, and this one Momo, so there is 4 different versions of this song, Not sure if anyone broke it down for you, but the song is about a teen girls very first metal concert experience, basically breaking one’s metal virginity
All that's left is moabanger for me! Can't wait
I know I'm late to the party on this one, but while I'm fine with about 90% of the compilations (particularly since they're made to get around the horrible automated TH-cam copyright nonsense) this one is probably the only one I absolutely hate. Whereas with most compilations it's not TOO bad because generally Su is doing all of the singing so the focus is on her regardless of the venue the song is performed in, this version of Headbanger was Momo's time to shine and whomever made the compilation should NEVER have had shots of Su singing with Momo's voice. It borders on disrespectful.
Just so it's clear, the fault does not lie with you as you could have had no way of knowing. I'm so happy you were able to see the "better" version in a later video.
Sadly I can't become a Patreon due to a complete lack of disposable income so I don't know whether or not you've already covered Momo Taro (Momo's performance of Meta Taro) but I definitely recommend it. It's a fun song (apparently one of Su's favorites) and Momo bears her fangs again. It's fantastic.
Yea i hated this compilation too but it was the first to pop up and I don't understand why! It has so many views! But yes I'll definitely have to check it momo taro. I've never heard meta taro though. Do you think i need to listen to meta taro first to appreciate momo taro?
@@Abigirl_Reacts From a personal standpoint I don't think you need to see/hear the original Meta Taro first. It is a fairly simple, fun and bouncy song and the singing duties in Momo's version are split between Momo and Su pretty equally in the Live version much like they were here in Momobanger. This vid from the For the Fox God channel is perfect: th-cam.com/video/T-jMjN8gk2Y/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wu7q3xi432yCd17p
Yessss thank you so much for the link! This really helps ^_^
@@Abigirl_Reacts You're more than welcome. I find a lot of the vids posted on that channel are great for reactors (or, you know, just fans of Babymetal). I hope you enjoy it!
All the audio is from the Legend MM show, after Su passes the mic to Momo, the Su parts were just video filler. 🤘Also I believe the half mic stand was done in homage to Freddy Mercury from Queen, only difference is all the crystals on it. 😆
I need that mic in my life!
Thanks again from Japan 有難う。 Don't worry. Sometimes choice of compilation video is good because the authentic source video may get blocked when it is relatively new and not ofiicially released. (I have never viewed any Momobanger reaction video that covers real and whole "Legend-MM" version)
Juxtaposition of growl and overly cutesy (intentionally anime-like) voice by Momometal. That is new ammunition of BABYMETAL. Momoko cannon loaded with sheer dark explosives and a warhead made of shiny and bubbly metal. I witnessed this performance and got crushed into pieces, smilingly of course, at the venue. Everybody there was also honored to have a chance to celebrate Momoko's last day of her 20 years of age.
I'm jealous you got to see this performance live!
Great reaction ... but you understand now why we recommend you don't do first reactions with compilation videos. We want you to have the best possible experience the first time you see and hear a new song and some compilations are just really confusing so you're trying to work out what is going on rather than enjoying the performance.
Some are OK, but every now and then you get one that has been put together really badly - sadly this is one of those.
The only good thing (apart from your reaction of course, that is always good) was that the audio was all from Legend MM (Momometal's 21st birthday concerts), so it was all Momometal's vocals and screams for the second half of the song after Su handed her the mic and stand.
I hope you are feeling much better now.
I am feeling better health wise but YT wise I am left unsatisfied. I will record a new reaction to momobanger to a better video soon!
Babymetal ❤❤❤❤
^_^
Worst compulation video ever. Good reaction though. 😁
You're sweet haha I agree 💯! Lesson learned
Have been missing you AbiMetal. Glad to see you are back. Congrats on your 1500. MomoBanger, one of my favorites to showcase Momo. You are correct, it is Momo, the compilation can mess with your mind and experience, that is why people are against them. The compilations on "for the fox god" channel is the best ones, so I would advice to use those. The reason for the compilations is to combat copyright.
My opinion on pateron: the tier 2. some people will be angry about the " It's just for you!" exclusivity. One way to combat that, is: do tier 2, with all the perks you have described already, but also release the reaction on YT later, as a patreon member react vod kind of deal. I believe there will be pushback on the exclusivity deal.
Hmm interesting, OK I will further think about this. Thank you!
Me watching this compilation already knowing Momobanger: no problem.
Me watching you reacting to this compilation and get really confused: annoyed.
Me stumbling upon this compilation while trying to watch Momobanger for the first time: pissed off and stoping the video to find another one.
I hear ya!
Ya, every performance has its nuances, compilations can confuse you ( which music track are they using, things don't match up) more than it should. At least you know ( and tell us you know) it's a compilation.
Welcome back, Abimetal! I'm glad you are feeling better and congratulations on 1500 subs! Compilations are bad, mm-kay. Unfortunately, that is the only way to get new and one off performances past copyright. Some are just bad and some just suck (like this one). You should trust your ears when you have to use a compilation. You said yourself that you know what Su-metal sounds like. The more you listen and get to know Momoa (Momo and Moa), the easier it will be to distinguish who is singing. Watching interviews and their Sakura Gakuin materiel will help speed things up. Great reaction and I look forward to whatever is next. Kitsune Up!
Oh my goodness, you're the third to say videos like these are good for getting around copyrights but I got the most flags on this video. I don't understand! I'm figure this copyright stuff out. I may just need to watermark it like I've seen others do.
@@Abigirl_Reacts The birthday shows are extra special. Not to mention that this Blu-ray was just released. So, it will be next to impossible to get it past copyright.
The Blu ray is the concert from the legend mm 2024 arena?
The compilation for this one is a bit odd, normally they are fine to show the band in various locations and it's fun, but where it's breaking context in this it can be distracting. That said the real fun of this performance is Momo growls, brilliant, and fun watching!
This was odd, I'll try my best to stay away from confusing compilations like this!
By watching live videos you learn...I went to concert and knew everything...so its not difficult...Even our local baseball team (Hanshin Tigers) has a song for every batter and different ways you smack your little plastic baseball bats together... Japanese people are crazy!!! Fun!!!!
Well that just sounds fun haha
Well......... it wasn't Legend 1997 or Makuhari 2023 (with subtitles), but it WAS the worst Headbanger video I have ever seen!!🤣 And you STILL enjoyed it! Just goes to show what a great live number this is! Still love your reactions, but good advice is what it is.😁
I know right?! That's why I'm planning to react abdominal l again but to the proper video. I can't do momo wrong like this! Haha
The order in which I watch BabyMetal Headbanger is
0. Official MV (Su received a gift from the Fox God and the origin of audience worship)
1. Legend 1997 version (Su birthday)
2. Legend M version (Moa birthday)
3. Legend MM (MOMO birthday)
4. Yui banger (Yui birthday)
5. Legend 1997 Night of 15 Mix version (surprise version)
Thanks for your good reaction.
You don't include the Headbanger official music video?
@@emb5091 Thank you for the reminder. Already updated.
@@dingjk5630 No problem!🤘🦊🤘
Agreed.
But Abi started on MM, so lets maybe go to that timeline... and jump to MV. :)
Ah.. and yeah.. I'm not a fan of compilation videos as well... but I respect those that do.
But you can buy the BluRay or the DVD on their shop... and let me tell you.. it is worth the money!
Those are momo's growls. It was great confirmation that she could in fact growl, and that it was her growling in Metali. It's a big deal as she can satisfy the "scream" part of her role as "dance and scream". Of course, we get to hear her growl again in Ratatata. It's another tool in their chest of things they can bring out and enhance what they're doing.
As for this compilation, it was nice when it came out originally as we didn't have a full version of Momobanger to watch, but now that the real version is out, this is "meh". Compilations are fine if you understand this group and know who they are. You're a bit newer and still learning, so the confusion comes a lot quicker.
Good luck finding a good version of Yuibanger, if you're so inclined. And Moabanger is just as awesome in a different way.
Anyway, I am enjoying your BabyMetal content and there's plenty of other great Japanese bands out there if that's a direction you want to go in.
I appreciate the comment, thank you! I want to listen to all versions of headbanger now lol
Glad to see you back! As others have said, if you want unofficial videos, you are probably best sticking with the For the Fox God channel. That is a channel that really cares about quality.f
As for Patreon tiers, I personally suggest not keeping videos private to Patreon. Post them there unblurred and let the $10 members vote and watch live and early. Post a week or two later here. That way, you get more good content for this channel that feels a bit different than other content and the TH-cam viewers don't feel like second class citizens. I say this especially because you are currently so devoted to just the two bands you have been watching and your current channel subscribers would probably be kind of upset if you reacted to any "important" videos there in the private feed. This will become especially an issue, I think, as you start to move through the majority of the well-known content.
The patreon could also probably help you find some other bands to listen to. If a reaction goes over well there, then it might be a good one to post here a week or two later. That could be true if you really hate something, which may result in a good one-off reaction. It would also end up being great if you end up liking something and want to start watching more of that band/group here. Again, your existing audience won't miss out then just because they may not be able to afford to join.
To me, something along those lines feel like one of the best ways to both give something to the patrons while still helping you grow the community here. Also, something else that I've seen some reactors do is grant full access to watch some videos on Patreon for everyone if it gets too restricted here. That hopefully wouldn't need to happen often, but it would also give someone considering joining the Patreon something to see there to help understand the added value.
David heretic has a $1 tier so that you can watch any of his videos that get blocked for just a dollar. Thats really a good deal if you don't want to spend a ton of money and just watch the videos. The higher tiers get to vote and make requests. It's a logical way to do thinga.
Hey, that's exactly what we decided! Patrons get the raw unedited versions one week early and then I release them to YT. Good call!
Kitsune Up ⬆⬆⬆🤘🤘🤘.... great reaction,sist.... i think its a live compilation,sometimes its will make you a little bit confusing...
I'll be staying away from compilations from now on that's for sure
You should listen to them more they are sooo good I recommend awadama fever and gj if you haven’t heard of it
great reaction given that it's a comp. You def need to react to Moa Headbanger
I will check it out soon right after I react to a better version of momobanger haha
nunca confie numa compilation nao original ^^
Oh i learned my lesson trust me haha
Oh! and congratulations on 1.5k! Glad to know you're doing well, I was getting worried not seeing an upload from you as were a few of my friends who watch your channel!
I was at a coffee shop with my friend Akane and her girlfriend, and she looks up from her phone mid latte and was like "Abigirl hasn't posted in a bit?" and we all checked to make sure lol. We will watch your videos when together sometimes and were worried! So rest assured in a random cafe in nyc a small group of idiots were using their one shared brain cell to worry about you and your channel this week lol.
Ok I'm legit crying. It seems making babies has made me a real softy and emotional wreck hahaha yoooouuuu caaaaaarrrrrreeeeeee waaaaaahhhhhhh hahaha thanks so much for caring ^_^
@@Abigirl_Reacts lmao, nothing wrong with being emotional about gaining a community :) And of course we care!
The babymetal community fought tooth and nail over a decade to get people to take the girls seriously. So when we see a channel pop up out of the ether, not just focusing on the band but doing so with respect, care, and enthusiasm, we mirror that :)
Not just that, regardless of the bands you cover, you've created some awesome content! We love the babymetal reactions but all your other stuff is dope too lol. So I want to reiterate that I doubt any of the BM fanbase will abandon you if you do other reactions as well lol.
100% serious about helping you with the channel btw. We want to see you succeed!
(PS: congrats on creating new humans!)
Nice reaction. At least the audio is all from a single performance. You can hear SU-METAL's lead vocals at the start with the other two doing backing vocals. Then SU-METAL passes the mic to MOMOMETAL to finish the song, so you get just her voice. At this point SU-METAL doesn't have a mic, so all the backing vocals are just MOAMETAL. (Sometimes the backing vocals are pre-recorded, but that's not the case here - you can clearly hear the differences.)
People dislike compilations because they confuse people reacting to them. 😁They can also contain spoilers by including key footage from special shows. Some are better made than others and there are some tracks that work fine cutting footage from multiple shows - this isn't one of them. The reason they exist is because you cannot get full uncut footage from most live releases on to TH-cam without the risk of a copyright strike, so this is the work around. For this specific version of Headbanger, this is your only choice to get a reaction on TH-cam. BABYMETAL have only released four studio albums and a compilation in just over a decade, but have released live albums for just about every tour, so live video is where they are making a lot of money. They have to be tough on copyright infringement to protect their income, so they are not going to allow people to watch unedited footage of significant moments free of charge. Their most recent live show is about to hit cinema screens around the world - they need to make as much as possible from these shows to offset the costs of staging them. This kind of thing isn't unique to BABYMETAL - it's very common for all Japanese artists and in some cases extends to MVs, as they are sold on special editions of albums with a premium price. Reacting to Japanese music can be high risk, so ensure you have all of your material backed up away from TH-cam
If I were in your shoes, I'd be contacting some other TH-cam channels that do reactions to ask how they run things - equipment, platforms, approximate costs vs. income, anything to help you make informed choices. I know a lot of folk covering Japanese music now live stream on Twitch for an easier time with copyright, which would suit your one take reaction format quite well. They edit their live streams to get clips for TH-cam, so they can cover both platforms while minimising the time commitment. Plenty of opportunities to get micro payments for those equipment upgrades. Personally, I think your current video and audio is fine, although a better mic would certainly improve the sound of your voice. If your computer is struggling to process video, that's where I'd spend the money as it'll probably make the biggest difference for you.
I agree, my computer is struggling to keep up so I think I'll need to upgrade that first!
Oh no Abi! You should’ve gone for the original version first! 😮 well it’s not a big deal but I think you could’ve gotten a better experience if you watched the different versions of this song in this order(to learn the main context of the song mostly and to know why is this song so special for the members):
👉 the original version first of this song(mv video)
👉the “legend 1997 concert” of this song
👉Moa version of this song ❤
👉and to the last this version of Momo ❤
But anyways the most important part is that you enjoy it much 😉🤘🦊🔥❤️
Oh I didn’t know about your health situation hope you’re completely well now! ❤ (I wrote my comment while I paused it at the second 0:01 haha that’s why I didn’t mention it at the beginning of my comment!❤
One more thing I see that you picked a wrong video to watch that concert bc it has footage of 10 different concerts and the visuals may trick you a little bit, that’s why it’s called compilation(I recommend you to watch the one I’m gonna tell you by attaching the link bc is the best one for that concert and that version of Momo singing ❤(rewatch it off camera if you wish, we would love to see your proper reaction tho)

Queen Su yes. And we know what to do when they play headbanger. swing the flag on papaya.
ouch is compilation abi...😂...for reaction babymetal adventures it's best to avoid compilation videos because it will be a bit confusing... especially for headbangers there is a su metal moa metal yui metal version and what you see is momo metal banger... because headbangers all versions are to celebrate their birthdays...🦊🦊🦊
Yup, I got that confusion REAL quick! I agree with you!
Babymetal - Meta Taro (Legend MM 2024 Live) Eng Subs
th-cam.com/video/T-jMjN8gk2Y/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for the link!
There was a LOT of difficulty from the community trying to get this one up online. (As far as I understand.) So the compilation, and the changes in playback speed. (I feel it went to 90% of normal speed.)
Hearing Momometal take the main mic was the point, even if the video had to be switched up for copyright. (Hence your natural confusion.)
Also: Compilations vs Live vs Live Official vs M/V: (IMO)
Actual Live, mistakes and all, are by far the best. Live Official is almost always a video of a live concert with the studio audio synced up. That's good. Compilations are usually kinda meh but sometimes it's all one can get away with. The actual M/V's are hit and miss, and only a couple are revered throughout The One. (Doki Doki Morning, Karate, Megitsune, iine)
Also Also: The M/V for Ijime Dame Zettai is perhaps the worst possible choice for that song. It's a charmingly bad piece of BM history, perhaps... but just about ANY other option for IDZ is better~
Thanks for sharing your reactions, off to join the patreon~ 🦊🤘🦊
Hi Erisian, I appreciate your patronage. Thanks so much for helping me out!
I hope you get around to doing the Legend of 1997 version of Headbanger. It's probably the most iconic performance of this song because it was Su-metals 16th birthday show. This entire concert was presented as a rock opera of sorts because it represented the transformation of Su from an idol princess to a metal goddess. Culminating with a performance of "Babymetal Death" which was an epic and memorable theatrical version of that song 🦊🤘
I plan to!
Yay, you're back! Yeah, it sort of sucks this compilation was so shoddily put together - it's a huge issue in the Babymetal world in that there are loads of fans who throw these things together and upload them so it's difficult for newcomers to select the best versions of things to react to. It's a shame as some creators like Kitsunesama and Who? make excellent ones but then there are dumpster fires like this one, ha.
I fell for the trap, noooooo!
Now you should react to Moabanger. ^^
I plan to! ^_^
No worries about the compilation, that version was confusing.
Anyhow, #notacult (yeah, we're a bit culty😅)
❤️🦊🤘
#not a cult lmao
Congrats on 1.5k+ subs, and I'm glad you are feeling better! I too was checking everyday for your next reaction video, even though I'm already subscribed and should have gotten a notification...but I still checked anyways just in case! LOL!🤘🦊🤘
You're the best! I appreciate you caring! Glad to be back ^_^
if you heard Headbanger for the first time you started in the wrong order, you need to watch the Legend 1997 first, which is the original then the Legend M (Moa Is taking the mike) then the Legend MM . For the compilations, this is the worst one , but if you want god quality videos with subtitles for Babymetal go to For The Fox God channel. Nice reaction #NotaCult
#NotACult haha yes I've subscribed to the fox god channel, this mistake won't happen again. Huge mistake!
Congrats on finally getting to this one. The video cuts between Su performing Headbanger and the Momobanger version, but the audio is Momobanger. You can tell which is which because the girls are wearing the black outfits in the Su performance, while they're wearing their modern, colorful outfits for Momo's version.
Compilations are okay, but I think the original video is always better. It really comes down to what you enjoy; if you're okay with a compilation and can't find a regular video, then go for it. Otherwise, avoiding them is probably better.
This would be a last resort for me for sure!
Hi, peter from Ireland, hope get to full recovery soon, I am sure you will notice comments about this particular comp being bad. Follow advice go to for the fox channel the proper one from legend mm 2024 is cool and I think everyone here would love to see you do the proper show, it's worth doing a 2nd review particular of this one, also sane show momo doing meta taro. We all still appreciate and liked your reaction and comments to this one though, not your fault this particular comp is the worst of all the comps 😊 keep up good work 😊
I will absolutely ask everyone to drop links for me from now on haha that would be very helpful, lesson learned.
hiya no worries two good resources is, for the fox god, especially for all the latest legend mm including momometal headbanger. Also hymnodic channel, he often comments on reactor channels and great resource for info 😊
Glad you're on the mend! I *was* wondering, as I caught up on all your videos just last night. You definitely need to see prev versions of this song (you don't have to do it on camera, tho of course we'd love to see it - new version = new reaction...for reals, we dig it. Hell, even a different video for this version would count). Headbanger has a long history. This is just a hideous compilation of this super special version of the song. (We don't love compilations because they are usually just poorly done. There are some good ones, tho. And some songs can only be found in compilation form, so of course they get a pass.) There's a nice high def single performance video on...I think For the Fox God's channel. It's worth checking out. Also, I squeed just exactly like that the first time I heard Momo scream. XD 🤘🦊🤘
Haha OK good point! So you think even though I've already heard momobanger, reacting to a different video of it still counts as a one take? If so then I'd love to do it! I just may need that link you're referring to cause there's so many versions.
@@Abigirl_Reacts Definitely. As long as the video is not scripted and your reaction is genuine, that's all that matters. We'll watch you react to the same BM song as many times as you put it in front of us. Considering how bad this comp is, I don't think it should count. XD BUT I think you should watch different versions first. This is the most recent. Do Legend 1997, then MoaBanger, and then you'll be coming into MomoBanger with the necessarily context. 🤘🦊🤘
@@Abigirl_Reacts I only just realized the link didn't post XD (I'd been up too long at the time.)

Ooh ooh I need to see this!
I'm glad you're feeling better! Compilations do take away from it but I know it can make getting through copyright issues easier as well. I would watch the one suggested in other comments for yourself so you can see the whole video to the audio you just listened to.

@@Abigirl_Reacts If the subtitles are in English
Lyrics will be displayed in English
Compilation videos? 0/10
Your reactions? 10/10
Personally I don't like the compilations. As you said, they splice together different moments that throws off the whole feeling... it's not a music video, so it shouldn't be compiled, in my opinion. For example, in this one: Momo sings the lead exclusively after her big growl, even though it shows Su's mouth moving again. Su is shown with her microphone scepter after she passes it to Momo. Nonsense editing like that is what rubs me the wrong way, heh.
That said, your reaction is A-OK! I'm here for the reactions and to enjoy my favorite stuff again with a new fan, so no matter how you do it (compilations, bands, live vs music video, etc), I'm all in. Also, glad you're feeling better! Don't hesitate to put your health first in the future, just like you did this time. We'll still be here when you're good to go.
BTW if you listen to the original vs this version, you may notice the lyric "ichigo no yoru wo" becomes "hatachi no yoru wo." That's because the original song is about turning 15 (ichigo (yes it can also mean "strawberry" but it's "ichi, go," or "1, 5," in this case)) and the Moa/Momo versions are about turning 20 (hatachi).
Patreon? Say less. I've already joined, but I'll get in touch once the Discord is open, since my real name is on Patreon but I prefer my screen name to be used publicly. New gear, let's get it!
Ahhhhh you're a founding member yaaaaaay! Thanks so much. We'll get better quality streams incoming in no time and it starts with less compilation videos LOLbl thanks so much for the support ^_^
The real name thing shouldn't be a problem. In your Patreon settings (under "connected apps") you link your existing Discord account.. so if you have a Discord account using your nickname.. then it won't automatically make you a new Discord account under your real name and log you in etc.
But if Abi is making patreon supporter credits for future videos, then yeah - you should definitely give her a heads-up for that 👍
@@Wagoo I'm pretty sure I got that set up, but I'll double check on the Patreon side. Abi and I got in touch, and it's sorted out for the credits too. Thanks for the info!
@@Chrono_Dragoon groovy
The confusion that compilations create is why I think it doesn't suit reaction channels. You can only enjoy compilations when you already know what you're watching.
Oh dangit, that´s exactly the compilation I warned you about... the compilation of all evil 🙄 I especially hate this compilation on the scale from 1 to 10 at level 12. It´s confusing, right? And you did Momo´s version first, instead of doing the Legend 1997 first 🤔 But hey, one take😅 And you got Momo´s voice. She´s awesome, isn´t she? The whole arena was bowing to her #notacult 🤣
Oh geez I messed up! BUT it's still technically a one take if I react to another (better) video right? Like if I were to react to a music video and then a live performance. Same song, different video! I think I just convinced myself. But... maybe I'll ask for the proper link to react to haha I just want a recent performance of momobanger that's not a compilation.
@@Abigirl_Reacts "For The" "Fox God" channel has a whole bunch of the "Legend MM" performances, even "Meta Taro" (Momometal vers.) 😉
In case of BABYMETAL, yes, one take, roughly. Same song, different video, different effect. "Monochrome" is the best example for that. Three versions, three outcomes (love the live, but also love the f1rst take vers., for very different reasons).
In case of "Momobanger" it´s a bit difficult, as you already listened to the correct live audio. Just the video part was so messed up with this compilation...
🤘🦊🍑♪
🤘🦊🤘
The youtube channel "For The Fox God" has the clean non-compilation version.
Oh I've officially subscribed in an attempt not to make this mistake again haha thanks!
I just checked that one out. Much better video.
There's a Momobanger from the MM concert that's the produced video from BM. But also there's Moabanger. There's also a Yuibanger. I had to watch the OG's first. ❤🦊
I'm pretty sure I'm going to react to all of these haha do it right this time
What the hell is going on with this vid? The speed is all over the place in the second half.
Don't worry, I plan to react to a better version of this song soon!
heh, not to worry. I will explain for you. That feeling of frustrated confusion you felt is what most viewers (not me) hate about the compilations. This was a one off performance for Momo's 21st birthday where she performed the second half of the song. the other concert clips edited in showing Su were just showing how the song usually is performed with Su as lead vocal and Moa and Momo doing dance and backing. the song itself is basically telling the story of a young girls first experience at a metal concert on her 15th (or 20th) birthday and how she will cherish the memory of it since it will never come again and she will grow to be a woman after this night. This is essentially a rite of passage song for rocker chicks.
I have no problem with compilations at all even if I prefer originals. This one is a nonsense tho, can't understand why to make a compliation of something that only heappened once
I think almost everyone would prefer to suggest the originals for reactions. The only problem is that we then get to see the same song reactions over and over again, because so many good concerts and songs are blocked as originals.
That's why I can't understand notorious compilation haters at all.
This specific one, however, is really very confusing. I would rather have shown the audience in moa's part than Su. Nevertheless, I am grateful to the creator.
How do you feel about me reacting again to a proper video of this song? It's still a first take right because it's a different video?
@@Abigirl_Reacts No problem at all!!! Headbanger has four different versions so it won't break your rules. Great idea.
@@Abigirl_Reacts Well, I think par of the point of Momobanger is the surprise. Si I would recommend tonhear Moabanger instead :)
In general I don't mind the compilation videos. But a bad editing is always bad editing. As far as I've understood, the official videos on the BM channel are always studio audio on top of a performance which is not a good option either. As others have said, there are people who make good compilations as a middle ground.
Ill have to find these decent compilations eventually!
Great reaction. You should avoid compilations
For LIVE I suggest that you use the videos on the Babymetal Reactor Resource th-cam.com/video/q40VmTHSh4c/w-d-xo.html
There's more information in the description of that video
There's also this channel with great-quality videos www.youtube.com/@Hymnodic/videos
Oh my, I forgot about this channel. I'll have to try out out, thanks so much for the resource.
I have never clicked on a video in my feed faster in my life! lol... TY for reacting to this one!
(PS: My thoughts/suggestions on patreon further down if you don't want to read my wall of text lol. I have ADHD and an endless pot of coffee, its a problem XD)
OH NO! lol... like a minute in, and I realized it's THIS comp...
This one is unfortunately one of the notoriously bad compilations available on youtube lol. It doesn't match the vocals to the correct singer, and tends to jump around a lot. This is especially egregious because this cut was done to a special concert for Momo's 21st birthday (Birthday shows are pretty sacred for the BM fanbase). Everyone in the foxhole went ballistic when this cut gained steam on youtube lol.
I want to stress though, this is NOT your fault lol. A LOT of react channels fell prey to this exact comp when trying to react to Momobanger.
If anything I feel awful for you... It has to suck to be making a video and halfway through a first-react take you realize the content you're reacting to has been butchered. You did you job perfectly, and the original uploader of the footage did you dirty.
To clear up some confusion, the entire last half was led by Momo, and the uncut concert footage is phenomenal to the point where it's in most of 'the other one's" top 3 clipped performances. (I don't know how deep you are into the babymetal lingo, but 'the one's' or 'the other one's' refer to babymetal fans). You have every right to be pissed at being duped by the uploader lol. I know I was when I watched this a while back. Idk wtf they were thinking putting something this bad together.
Even if you don't post a reaction to it, I highly recommend hunting down the original cut. Su seamlessly floats into choreography and Momo looks a little anxious and emotional taking the mic. It's great.
As to future compilations... They're so often bad that it's hard to say lol. There ARE some that are well done and label themselves properly as compilations though, so really I think that asking a third party superfan to watch the content first and letting you know if it's good would be a good call. For the other one's it's not really a matter of it being a comp or not, it's usually about how badly the comps are done.
><
My thoughts on your Patreon.
YES girl, YES! lol.
I think your tiers and what you're offering are perfect. The ONLY change I'd reccomend is with your discord. Access shouldn't limited to just Patreon as discord is an incredible community building tool. You'd be hobbling yourself. You CAN however, lock off certain areas within your discord to 5 and 10 dollar subscribers. This helps you build your community and incentivizes people to chip in on the patreon plans to gain access to those channels.
How I would do it is as follows.
Free Discord:
1 Voice Channel limited to 10 people.
4 General Channels: General, Music, Gaming, Memes & Art, (Or something along those lines)
5 Dollar Discord:
Everything in free edition of the discord as well as...
1 Video Channel limited to 5 people
3 Voice Channels limited to 10 people
4 more channels: Reaction Suggestions, Abigirl's Army (Fan channel), Reaction suggestions, J-Metal chat, J-pop Chat
10 Dollar Discord:
Everything in free and 5 dollar edition of the discord as well as...
1 more Video chat limited to 10 people
2 more Voice Channels limited to 10 people
2 more channels: Patreon videos, Just for You Videos
I have some experience in this as I've worked for youtube channels before as a video editor, Marketing consultant, writer, and community liaison... and I love your channel and think it has tons of potential :) Like, 'charismatic voice' levels of potential :) You have the right personality for this kind of work.
Surround yourself with people/creators who have your best interests in mind, and whatever you decide to do with your channel, patreon, etc, I for one will be rooting for you :) Feel free to reach out to me via comments (or your discord whenever that's up lol) for help with stuff. I'm sure plenty of others in the community want to see you shine as well :)
... YUP. Thank you so much, I have some tweaking to do. This was great advice, thank you!.... how do I save this comment so I don't lose it...haha SCREENSHOTTING EVERYTHING
@@Abigirl_Reacts LOL
I would not mind if you never did a compilation, they can be confusing. In this video, Su did, like, the first verse. Everything after was all Momo.
I don't mind this either, thanks for the feedback!
Crowd does not go to a class, geez. Nonsense. Also, not sure how you can evaluate Headbanger with Momo without knowing how Su does the song.
You're the only one to say they don't learn what to do at concerts lol it may not be a class per se but I've heard they do learn it in some way. The entire crowd doing the same thing is not a coincidence is what I've heard from other comments!
❤ cool love you reactions to Babymetal, stay healthy❤
Thanks so much, you too sweety!
Good to see you back recovered.
And congratulations to the 1.5k.
You're so sweet, thanks so much!
IS MOMO WHO SINGS
1:29 and you deserve it, the reason that i love your channel is because you are very sweet and kind with us. You read de coments and have always good vibes with you.
I can't help but read the comments! I need the feedback to improve the stream. You guys really help me out!
100% Abi's great. Worried about the inevitable mean comments all channels get, but hopefully by then she'll have a first-pass channel mod.
Check momotaro too(from the song meta taro)
It's definitely on my list!
Hi Abi, don't stress about the compilation videos, they are a necessary evil. Babymetal protect a lot of their videos, especially if they have significant moments in them, like Momobanger or Moabanger, Shine from the Legend MM concert, or if the video has significance in a story arc for Babymetal lore, like 'In The Name Of' from the Legend S Concert, as examples. It's understandable, these are the moments that sell DVDs or Blu-Rays and contribute significant income for the band/production company.
There are many good compilation videos out there and also some that aren't particularly good. This was in the latter category. However, the choice is often one of whether you record the original of a protected song and send it straight to Patreon, which is not ideal because only your paying members get to see it, which slows the growth of your channel, or you use a compilation video and not get the full experience of the original. Neither solution is perfect. However, most Babymetal fans will tolerate compilation videos as they already know the song and are really here to support you and see your reaction. Now, if you opt to record a protected version of a song and end up having to mask it heavily, most fans don't enjoy that as even though they are here to support you, their time is valuable to them and sitting through three minutes of blacked out video is not enjoyable, or a good use of their time from their perspective.
One way to get around this dilemma is to use 'shorts' to let your followers know which song you are wanting to record and ask for safe videos, even if they are better quality compilations and people will point you in the right direction. This will lead to a little more work for you but should stop you from getting a poorly edited compilation video, or having your video blocked or getting a copyright strike.
Right! For me it's hard to tell which compilation is the better one. In this case, it was no bueno. But I'll ask for links from now on, they're super helpful and takes the stress off me haha 😄
🤘🦊🤘 Love your reactions, keep em coming but also take care of yourself foremost. As for the video it is edited badly due to copyright and showing Su instead of Momo singing, but the audio is Momo... These videos are heavily copyrighted because Amuse (the record lable) wants to sell the Bluerays from the concerts. They have not released videos from this concert officially on YT, this is ripped from bluerays. I personally don't mind the compilations, here for your reaction mostly.
Watch the original Headdbanger and you will know how Su full version sounds, makes it easier to distinct this stupid compilation video, Moa and Momo only doing Headbanger on their birthdays basically (this was Momo's 20th birthday), otherwise it is only Su singing, so these are very special, therefore Amuse wants to milk the *beep* out of it...
Hehe I tried disputing the copy right saying that this is for commentary purposes, I'm not trying to infringe on any copyright, I'm giving the band thier credit. I've never been denied so fast in my life haha but I don't blame them. It's thier right!
@@Abigirl_Reacts yeah Amuse is a pain in the buttox when it comes to copyrighted stuff and that is why this was uploaded as a compilation :) and alkso why many fans of BM understands the need for compilations, even though they suck.
Lol, that confusion with Su vs Momo singing was part of why it's usually best to check the original version of Headbanger first. Momo really changed up the way it was performed and makes it very obvious she sings. I think with this performance, I don't think there is really an upload that isn't a comp due to the copyright stuff. But this comp seemed very odd... did it slow down and speed up there?
I think most don't mind compilation videos, the only problem is there are some VERY bad comps and it is hard to know which ones are good. Some completely throw off the choreography and doesn't do the song justice. Nevertheless, the audio is usually all live and a single track so it can somewhat be saved. In the end, I think most people watching will (should) just be happy for you to enjoy the dive. Just if you react to a comp and don't like it, give another live version a chance on your own time :)
Hope your recovery continues well and congrats on the 1.5k!
Thanks so much buddy. I think I'm going to react again to a PROPER video this time haha

How long ago was this tour?
👍Glad you are OK. Momozilla showing her fangs. Would suggest you watch "Babymetal - Headbanger (Momoko ver.) (Legend MM 2024 Live) Eng Subs" on your own. 🦊 🖖❤
Perfect, thanks a lot!
Congrats on 1.5k! The thing with compilatons is that well edited ones can be benign and totally fine but bad ones can be confusing as hell (like this one). I suspect this one was edited like this to avoid copyright strikes (the Legend MM concert is very new and I'm sure Amuse has their claws out fully regarding it). But IMO it would have made more sense to just cut to crowd shots or whatever instead of using footage of Su singing over the audio of Momo singing.
These performances are extremely rare, done in celebration of Moa's and Momo's birthdays (highly recommend checking out Moabanger too). The normal Headbanger has Su singing exclusively and is also one of their classic must-watch videos.
I plan to check them all out soon!
"For The Fox God" is where you need to go for the best Babymetal videos. That channel has the full Momobanger, just put a watermark on it if it gets blocked :) This vis is all F up lol, the song slows down (for whatever reason) and the compilation just doesnt work at all. If I were you, Id go check out (For The Fox God) Momobanger. But you said you wont because youre a one take channel, witch I dont understand or think is a good idea, but thats you,,, Theres several videos youll miss because of that... I would sub to you if that wasnt the case, but i dont like that you wont rewind a part or watch the actual video, Thats just me.
One take meaning I only react once to a video. I'll react again to a different video or version of the song!
It's ok Abi, don't be so down. It's not your fault. Nice reaction Abi. 😀 I can confirmed that it was Momo that was growling. One guy I forgot his channel made an analysis and breakdown with Ratata song, he found out Momo can growls. I'm so surprised. 😂
I am being hard on myself. I missed the fact that it was a compilation in general AND I chose a bad compilation now lots of people are saying they hate the video (but still love me!) So I shouldn't be too disappointed. This is a lesson learned! 🤘🦊🤘
@@Abigirl_Reacts Hahaha. It's a good thing they still love you and hate the compilation. 😂 Don't worry. There are lots of things about Babymetal to explore and discover. My suggestion is The not so extensive guide to Baby Metal (April 1st 2024).
You should definitely check out the recently posted video from the DVD from The Fox God channel (just for yourself) so you can see Momo's whole performance.
I'm not bothered by compilations too much but you do miss out on full choreography because of the cuts and if it's a special performance like this one it does lose impact.
I definitely will, thanks Robo!
This song is about a 15 year old girl going to her first metal concert!🤘🦊🤘
Funny you mention that, I'll be going to my very first concert on September 7th. And I'm 36 years old!
@@Abigirl_Reacts Haha, I’m 40 and I’ll be seeing Babymetal live for the first time in Nov!

Compilations are the Devil and should be avoided at all cost. There is always a better version for BabyMetal
I definitely learned my lesson about that
Yeah, not a fan of compilations at all - for exactly this reason, it gets too confusing. I think this may be an especially bad one as I don't remember seeing them ever mess about with the tempo in one before like that.. yikes 😵
If I may make a suggestion: a relatively prolific reaction channel "David Heretic" has his lowest Patreon tier set to $1 purely as it gives access to any reactions uploaded that can't get past copyright on youtube. This liberates him in a way to focus on authentic videos to react to.. as if they get hit.. it's easy to justify supporting him to see them there. Compilations often get made as they get past the originals they are composed of being easy to use on youtube.. I can see what people are trying to do, but I always just find them a mess to look at.. and the less casual reaction channels who pay attention to the artists on stage tend to find the same problems with them (I'm saying they are for more LOW LEVEL reactors than your good self haha)
In this case.. you can react to the proper authentic videos (and BABYMETAL has a crapton of them from loads of live blurays).. and if it struggles to go up on youtube.. you can just have a short upload or community post saying the full thing is on the patreon. Obviously $5/month isn't much either.. but I support 38 accounts on Patreon already so ya know.. it kinda adds up.. but another $1/month would be a no-brainer. Maybe have the credits stuff for $5 and $10? Anyway, just a suggestion
This is their song Headbanger!! (Heddobangya-!!) which is one of their oldest songs. At various special times Moa/Momo/Yui (who you have yet to meet I think) have on rare occasions taken over the mic in this song and for fun the fans have modified the song name each time to indicate that 🎤
It's the first time I have heard of a school for BABYMETAL fans lol - but the girls originated from a kind of televised Sunday school called Sakura Gakuin (cherry blossom school).. so maybe some wires got crossed there? Knowing when to shout from the crowd.. and what to do.. just comes naturally from us going to a lot of concerts and watching a lot of concert videos! \m/🦊\m/
What's infuriating is that this video for some reason got the most flags for copy right flags of all! I dont get it!
Quick...get outta my head !!!!
i was totally thinking about you today [and here you are !!! ] knowing you hadn't done this song yet and that I'd just found the real version and not the compilation which doesn't give Momo the full credit she deserves being it was the night before her birthday when she gets to do this.
Kind of a "ceremonial" or "traditional" song for Babymetal that started When SuMetal had her 15th bday.
Then it was Yui's, Moa's and the last one....Momo's
I'll leave you the exact titles to look for and enjoy the real versions but was hoping to get this to you before you reacted to this.
The day after, the day of her birthday, she does "Meta Taro", another suggested one to react to and to which I'll leave the title for you to copy n paste.
The page i get these from....the best live videos done by the page creator.
Just pointing the way girl.🙂
If you want a bit of history on them, as i see some fans advising this, I set a list up in my youtube account so i didnt have to keep explaing it to people i know how Babymetal came to be with a few of their first songs, their darker times and up to their latest concerts. it's under..... "Read description !! My POV story of Babymetal"
Anyway....was wondering where you been and good to see you and your smile again. ❤
Keep smiling and still lovin your reactions to Babymetal.

@@Abigirl_Reacts that's how we learn, right ?
You're doing awesome.
I seen another one of your followers mention the same TH-cam account as where I'm trying to send you
They have most of Babymetal's songs and they're very well done and I think almost all have english subs as well.
As far as never leaving....lots of room other than a few daily tornadoes that go through so...make yourself comfortable but buckle up.
😁🤣
This one is poorly put together compared to other ones I've seen other ones all you see different usually is the outfits and sometimes a camera view that clearly doesn't fit and different locations but it's always clear who's on the mic i don't mind these but it bothers me when it shows two different things going on
Yea I found this one really confusing.
🦊🦊🦊
🤘🦊🤘
Glad your feeling better! This version is poorly edited but at least the sound is correct. Typically videos from For The Fox God are well made and are not a frankenstein compilation from different shows/years. A great reaction nonetheless. A good follow up would be MoaBanger so you get an idea of what she sounds like too. th-cam.com/video/MToMx6RCW-M/w-d-xo.html Moa has more songs as well where she sings solo.
Thanks so much for the link! I associate the help 🤘🦊🤘
You dont know BabyMEtal until you see them with their sorority.
This is one of the compilations that I passionately dislike, just for the reasons you just experienced. It’s highly confusing, but what‘s even worse: This whole performance is Momo‘s great moment, and at least half the time when she sings, we blatantly get to see Su. Who does something like that? Is it really so great to be able to call oneself the editor of a video that it‘s worth unleashing such a messy piece of work unto the world?
Not your fault, of course! :-)
Not my fault but I still fell for iiitttttt. No worries, I will react again to a better version!
Unfortunately you happened to have chosen the worst compilation video to react to of this performance. It's no fault on your part, whoever put this together did a really bad job of editing and they didn't always match the voice to the singer. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the next one 🦊🤘
They should just remove this from the internet! Haha but no worries, I'm reacting again to a PROPER video
It's unfortunate that you didn't react to the normal version of headbanger first, but it can't be helped now. 🤣
As a fan, watching compilation is fine. But for someone to react for the 1st time, it can be confusing. So I suggest AVOID compilation.
That specific compilation is a mess even for us fans. Have seen better ones.
It was Su singing for the 1st half of the song up until the bowing/worshipping part. Then Su switch to Momo and it was her singing and screaming till the end of the song.
I guess now there's no better time to react to the normal version of Headbanger.
Babymetal - "Headbanger" Live at "Legend 1997" 2013. (video from the "For The Fox God" channel would be a good choice)
Anyway, continue diving into the Foxhole! 🦊
And ignore any rude comments! Some commenters are a little too passionate about reaction videos sometimes. 🤣
I can certainly feel the passion! I might redo this one, I just need a link to momo's recent performance of this. Hopefully I choose a better one this time! Haha 🤘🦊🤘
