YES!!! This legendary 30+ minute set in BABYMETAL history is called by some the "Miracle at Sonisphere". Imagine being 15-16 years old originally set for a small side tent (expecting maybe a couple thousand to show) to being upgraded a couple months before the show to the main stage in front of 65,000+ people BUT 95+% of them never heard of you, some came to hate on you (based on their videos up to this point like "Gimme Chocolate" which had gone viral a few months before and thought they were a joke or gimmick), and the Sonisphere crowd are known to throw stuff at the acts if they don't like them! But by the end of their 30-ish minute set, the crowd is chanting "We want more! We want more!", which you can see and hear at the end of this video. They had the largest pits and wall of death's, as well as sold the most merch out of all the acts performing at that event (Metallica, Iron Maiden, etc). This show was an important part of them blowing up outside of Japan and is considered a major moment in BABYMETAL history. This is why this show is my favorite of all their shows! Great video and reaction! Keep up the great work! 🦊🤘
I realize this is from 2014, and I’m not actually related to any of the BABYMETAL members, but I’m still so freaking proud of them for what they accomplished that day.
Maybe that is, because we all feel a bit like their fathers? You may blame SG for that cuz we literally saw them grow up. Anyway, we all love them, don't we?
I will have to agree. A lot of us have watched them grow up. Plus as a father of twin girls that are just a little older than Babymetal its good to see how far they have come and how much Yui and Moa remind me of my own daughters at that age.
I'm a 46 yr old metalhead been listening to Babymetal for 6 yrs. Realizing how much good and positivity they bring to this messed up world it's ok to cry and get emotional..
Here is a quote from Su-metal talking about her favorite lyrics from their 2014 debut album, "BABYMETAL"......"[In] the song "Ijime, Dame, Zettai," there is one phrase that means "I will protect you no matter what." I feel very connected to that because we play the song at the end of our set. All of us are super tired from the whole show, but there's one part in our choreography where we all walk to the center and look into each others' eyes and it's like, "OK, let's do this." It also reflects to where we are in reality. To me, it's a very, very important part of our show and that's why I like it." 🦊🤘
Why do they make us cry and give goosebumps all the time? Moa was once asked why Babymetal is so much loved and she gave a very smart answer:" I want to know myself."
best song about anti bullying ever. not only do they call out the bullies, but also those that stood by and did nothing to stop it. seriously, how many groups metal or otherwise has addressed this issue. we need more of this positivity in the world today. 🤘🦊🤘
In 2014 BM were getting good buzz about their performances on their first European tour and so were invited to perform at Sonisphere...a big UK metal festival. They were nervous because the UK crowd was notoriously tough, but by the end of their 30 min set they had won them over completely. It's the moment that critics and the international audience realized that BM were a legitimate headlining band and not just a gimmick. You get a bit of everything in this: Kami Band shredding, Su power vocals, Moa and Yui backing vocals; dancing, and a Yui tutu malfunction. The title takes an iconic Japanese anti-drugs slogan (Mayaku, Dame, Zettai) and use it against bullying.
My favourite song, my favourite performance of said song and quite possibly my favourite reactor. I loved every second of this, every single one. No worries on the crying, spoiler alert, I'm crying too. Signed, a proud Kitsune and Brit.
Such an important moment in music history...not only did they nope the door for themselves but all Eastern artists... The US had the Birtish musica invasion back in the 60's...now the West is experiencing the Eastern music invasion....glad I was able to witness it... I still get choked up every time I see this performance.... great reaction. :)
Great reaction ! Don't worry I've seen that performance hundreds of times and I shed a little tear right with you. The backstory makes it so much more powerful indeed. There had been hateful and toxic comments online regarding the news of their presence on the mainstage of Sonisphere. A lot of people took BABYMETAL as an insult to their precious metal and thought the mainstage should have been for more "legitimate" metal bands. In the end though, they did it so well and professionally that they won over the entire crowd. They still talk about this performance nowadays in interviews, it is testament to how the girls feel this was a pivotal moment in their history. Also to be honest I think you need to be a very heartless person to decide to boo and throw stuff at such innocent looking teenage girls who are just trying to have fun and give fun to people lol. Metalheads really are mostly softies under a tough-looking shell and a lot of them have known what bullying is first-hand.
They were worried about getting bottled while they were playing; they were told they had only 30 minutes to perform so they cut a song out of the set. Moa's in ear monitors weren't working when they started playing the opening song. Yui caught her skirt on one of her spikes on her wrist and it was unravelling during IDZ. It was not a smooth gig, but they killed it. Quite the debut on the world stage.
dont be ashame to get emotional, im a 45 year old grumpy metalhead and i get emotional all the time with babymetal even though my wife gives me shit for it every time, i dont care, babymetal are my girls/daughters and i am the one for life
Ever since this festival, Babymetal considers the UK as their 2nd home. They also were the 1st Japanese Band/Group to perform at Wembley Arena. Both are Awesome concerts, have watched both via TH-cam. With unbelievably talented musicians 3 girls come on stage and began to Sing and OMG Dance. Those old metal-heads never knew what hit them. Post-Festival the British Music press went crazy over the girls. I read a number of times that the girls could not see the crowd from where they were waiting to go on, so they did not how huge the crowd was until they went on stage!!
You know what? This was the first video I saw of Babymetal. And yes, I admit that just like now, I couldn't contain my emotions. And in that instant I fell in love with the girls, their music, their performances, their passion and professionalism. Then I listened to Syncopation, my favorite song and there was no going back! Thank you for sharing these moments, it is simply wonderful. See you in the next 🤟🏻 🦊 🔥 🔥 🔥
Definitely shows you're becoming a fan - getting emotional is perfectly natural to this particular performance as not only did the girls and the band absolutely kill it, they proved to the world outside of Japan that they were so much more than a gimmick and a meme but were a quality metal act as well. Can only imagine the sense of accomplishment they felt as they were cheered off the stage and I'm so pleased for them - I grew up in the UK and was in a few festival crowds in my time and if they turn against you, you'll know all about it.
Quote from our QUEEN… “I am so honored that we are confirmed to play Sonisphere Festival UK,” declares SU-METAL. “There are so many different types of artists playing this festival but I hope to deliver a one and only, unique style metal - BABYMETAL - even to those who will see us for the very first time. This will be our very first time in the UK, which makes us nervous, yet excited just imagining what type of people will come and see us, what sort of show it will end up being, and whether the audience will enjoy our show. We’ll hopefully get to see Metallica-san’s performance again after witnessing them at Summer Sonic festival in Japan which we are very excited about.” This is where history was made that day for BABYMETAL the way they won over the crowd. To hear the crowd chanting WE WANT MORE at the end must of made them very happy. And YUI-CHAN still rocking it live with a torn outfit, classic. BABYMETAL 4 LIFE.... SEE YU......
Excellent reaction, thank you. I think there are probably enough comments already about how significant this performance and this song in particular are, so I would just be repeating all that if I tried to add anything more. I will just say I am really enjoying all your BABYMETAL reactions and I'm looking forward to seeing whatever you do next.
IDZ Is one of the most representative songs by BM, as every aspect blends in perfectly, lyrics, dancing, music and of course singing, that line "I'll protect you" may sound empty words, until you realise that's SU shouting "kara" at 150 decibels, like a lioness roaring! When you've the chance, you may like to watch their Wembley Show, an amazing performance, there they explain the reason why they choose London to start their 2016 World Tour, a touching moment! 🤘🦊⚡
The favourite thing a BM fan usually do is watching new people react to BM for the first time, like we want to feel, to share that feeling, experience that journey again...
Sigh...my only regret about babymetal: all those songs i already know, and cant experience them again for the first time. But, that said, glad to see others to have that experience. Great reaction again.
Great & thanks again from Japan 有難う💛 The phrase "Dame Zettai (= No absolutely)" is originated from police campaign against illegal drugs which had started in 1960s. So this song implies that "Ijime (= bullying)" is considered as harmful and addictive as illegal drugs. We have to continue our efforts at home and in school (and in any society in the world) to eliminate it. In this video we see many mosh pits that are good signs to welcome bands. But I love more to see that the excited crowd gradually turn into enthusiastic audience. And when three girls started to speak some words in the interlude, loud cheers quickly subsided and the audience even tried to listen to what they were saying although the people could not understand our language. I am emotionally moved whenever I see that scene. After the performance, people in the crowd became happy, so did Kami band, and I am sure that the three girls fell asleep very happily that night. Now in 2021, BABYMETAL performed IDZ in all of 10 Budokan shows either as grand finale or second song after the opening show. It was probably their message to the world.
Thank you for the additional info. Definitely an all time epic performance!🤘🦊🤘 People don't often mention they were the first act of the day. Ithink like 11am or something. . .unusual for the crowd to be THAT big for the first band of the day! 🤘🦊🤘
This is my favorite BABYMETAL song. And first listen to this song in part of guitar solo i got emotional too, this is like a whole song 😁 Good reaction 🤘
My favourite moments in this video are when Su waves her hand wildly (at 8:35 in your video) and soon after that when they just stand there and just soak it in for a few seconds. You can almost feel the weight falling off their shoulders and the relief about their receptance. It’s probably strange to feel proud of someone you don’t know personally, but that’s definitely one of the emotions I (and I assume most fans) feel at that moment.
Note the day of the show was July 5th, so that was the day after Moa's 15th birthday (with Yui's 15th being two weeks before that). Imagine going on stage with such trepidation about the crowd, but by the time you're leaving the stage with your beloved friends and bandmates, you have the crowd roaring with applause and chanting for more... and just yesterday was your birthday. That has to be absolute elation! A triumph for them all, to be sure. :)
Gombers! Another great reaction. I could watch this show every day and not get tired of it. Like others in The One, I have developed a real connection with these girls and it makes me happy to see them do well. We have all teared up at some point or another watching them so we get it and no need to apologize. I look forward to more reactions from you! Kitsune Up! 🤘🦊🤘
This is the ending song of a very successful performance and their world domination starts here🔥🔥🔥 I also get emotional all the time watching this video (now I get emotional watching every performance😭)Love and Respect for them ❤️ BABYMETAL ❤️🦊🤘
They had a switch to the main stage at the last minute...they had limited rehearsal time...Yui's costume was self-destructing...they were terrified...and they OWNED!
if you ever watch the whole 30 minutes, it's great. when they first come on stage, Yui has trouble with her flag and then Moa freezes up in the beginning and misses her first dance move. you can see their confidence grow through the performance. in the end, they owned it
Yeah, BabyMetal does that. She can emote so well with her voice plus the story in the dancing. There are a number of songs that bring me tears for various reasons. SU held up releasing one song for 2.5 years because she could not get the emotion right. That chick doesn't fuck around. They have amazing power....
Alright, I always get misty eyed during this song, but you made me cry! Love to see your emotions about what was actually a momentous time in the bands’ introduction to the world and meant so much for and to them! The meaning of the song is also very important and helpful to today’s kids! Awesome reaction as always and look forward to more!! Also recommend Awadama Fever!!🦊🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
Not gonna lie Babymetals been my favourite band since 2014 when I saw a facebook link someone had that linked me to Gimme Chocolate, been hooked ever since, for the last year I've just been binge watching every reaction I see! Always love to see a new Babymetal react!! Throughout 2018 and 2019 I took a step back from Babymetal for a while, my best friend/brother inlaw was the only friend I had that liked Babymetal, and well he commited suicide new years eve 2017, so was too sad to listen to it, but I've been back in the game for a little over a year now! :D
Always nice to see that BABYMETAL smile! I'm surprised you didn't notice Yui's wardrobe malfunction with her self-destructing skirt lol: imagine how that must have been for a nervous 15 year old in front of a 50,000+ crowd: but Yui didn't miss a beat and carried on like a true pro! You should check out "Arkadia" from 2019, which some believe is a tribute song for Yui. :)
Thanks for the gerat reaction. Your tears brought me to tears and made me recall that I used to cry watching this video alone. This performance is so epic and meaningful; no need to mention in detail because it's already been told a lot about it here. :)
Mikio's wailing leads and all the Yui close ups (You even paused on one to wipe away your tears) really make me sad. But Babymetal makes me so happy that the sadness is overwhelmed entirely. The way they paused at the end of the song to soak up the adoration as the crowd chanted "We want more." Love it. In the words of Charlie Sheen: "Winning!" Then the immortal "See you!" It's been over two months since my fall into the Foxhole. Does Babymetal ever get old? I can't stop. But don't help me because I'm okay. Peace
Look how excited Su is at the end after the last “WE ARE” chant, amazing stuff. Some real legend shit. You mention the call and response with MoiMoi (Yui & Moa), a big part of their roles is crowd involvement. They’re essentially the hypemen of BABYMETAL No more forgetting to record the audio pls ;)
I think that was also why I got so emotional, as they reached the end of the set you could see how happy and excited all of them were that the crowd loved and appreciated them. It truly felt like such a full circle moment after watching the guide.
@@gombers Maybe I am the only one, cuz I am older, but I feel this song is about what happened to Hiroshima, Su Metals home. Does anyone else see this?
Thankyou for your reaction👊🏽🤘🏾 I am generally tearful whenI hear this song and many others by Babymetal. Currently my 4 favorite bands are Metallica, the Beatles, Led Zeppelin and Babymetal. Not at all in that order🦊
I think the first time a kitsune sees this it's emotional because you want them to succeed and there's still a little bit of nervousness and uncertainty that such tiny girls can boss such a big crowd. They always come through!
Loved your reaction, thanks!! This is probably their most important performance ever. And it's so cool. There is a little second in the middle of the song when Su looks at the crowd doing their circle pits and so and she sees she has already won as she smiles. Then she quickly went back to her usual metal mode. It's priceless! I know it's not that kind of song (or it is?) but the performance of this song from the Legend Metal Galaxy concert caught me off guard. So emotional. Until next time!
Great reaction - you cried very gracefully, I didn't even notice until you began wiping your eyes & then mentioned it! Wait a minute, is that a "Go Ugly Early" mug I see in the background young lady?! Around here that phrase was known as one of the three rules of the "🐷 Master". Looking forward to next BABYMETAL!! Arigatou! 🦊🤘💙 #notacult
I truly enjoyed your reaction - getting misty eyed at this performance is not that unusual for me as well. :-) And IDZ is definitely one of my favorite BM songs (probably my no 3), it still sounds so fresh and energetic.
Great reaction! It hits us all emotionally for many reasons. It would be great if you can react to BABYMETAL's "Trilogy of Light". That is 3 songs in order Starlight, Shine and Arkadia. Use the BABYMETAL Reactor Resource so they don't get blocked. These 3 songs are unofficially known to fans as a tribute to Mikio (RIP) who died in 2018 falling off of an observation platform and maybe even Yui who left in 2018 due to unknown health reasons. Both were known to love observing the stars. These songs are very emotional to me, specially Shine from the Legend M concert. The 3 songs I believe represent the 3 stages of grief. 1 Starlight is the loss of someone 2 Shine is handling the sadness of the loss and 3 Arkadia is accepting the loss and moving forward. As someone else has said, I wish I could go back and relive my first reactions to BABYMETAL, but I can only do that now through you and your great reactions. I can't wait to see more! Stay Safe and Stay Metal! 🤘🦊🤘
It’s not as bad as it sounds haha. The crowd actually was pretty receptive but there’s always those jerks that gotta throw something. It was over 10 years ago at this point and I had played at least a dozen other shows since then. (No longer playing music though, just a big lover of it 😁)
Great reaction i have seen this countless times and i still tear up and feel pride for them and what they had just achieved. The passion Su sings this with gives me Goosebumps. Move forward to Legend Metal Galaxy day 2 . Su still sings and performers this song with passion. 🤘🦊🤘❤
Great reaction. I've seen this video a thousand times, but I still get a bit emotional watching it, and frankly it's such a great song. Su is a monster, such an incredible talent. A 16 yo getting in front of 50K+ unknown people, away from her country, and when she saw that crowd her reaction was "this is going to be fun", and proceeded to just kill it. Yui and Moa feed off her, but everything starts with SU.
And NO one could probably guess that if you see her in Sakura Gakuin. So i have so much respect for them. If I stood in front of 50k+ at that age, I'd probably crap my pants....
That has to be very daunting, even after playing the renowned Budokan two sold out nights in a row. Budokan's a big deal as a venue, but it was still home turf. At Sonisphere, they were, I guess you could say, truly out in the wilderness of touring.
I get emotional too! And I've been a fan since 2015! I think it's just great because they have worked very long and hard for they're success. The part that gets me is that they are still concurring hearts and metalheads to this day! LONG LIVE BABYMETAL!
I thought I was the only one that cried during this song. From the opening piano chords, It makes me feel very emotional. Yes, a lot to do with what you said, about overcoming fear of those meek, young girls facing a brash, salty hard core metal crowd of 65,000 and nailing it. It had to be an unbelievable feeling for those young ladies. It also makes me think this songs way way beyond of just local bullying. I firmly feel this song has a lot to do with Su Metal's home town.,,, Hiroshima Just put 2 & 2 together and you will see this clearly. I simply love your channel Miss Gomber I didn't get it at first, but now I do ! Tell me if u feel the same way about this song, as I did. Peace and love
You probably dont give a shit but if you're stoned like me during the covid times you can stream pretty much all of the new movies on InstaFlixxer. Have been streaming with my girlfriend for the last weeks :)
4:25 .. yeah, in that part I get the same feeling as you. It's beautiful how the crowd is enjoying them. And thanks for making me cry (again) with you 🤟🏽🦊❤️
That was very important for them, their first metal festival and the first time in front of a big foreigner crowd, with a lot criticism that had been around the internet that year. They had just become viral with the Gimme Chocolate! video and a lot of haters were bitching that they didn't want them on a metal festival like sonisphere and that this wasn't true metal. They were afraid, but as you can see they stole the show. Su still remembers, as she mentioned in an interview past holidays: th-cam.com/video/hht8Ey-tfP8/w-d-xo.html
This was a very special show for the girls. This was really the first time the band realized they might be able to successfully put on a legit world tour. Before this show, they had never performed in front of a large outdoor audience with the Yuibot mark IV, which was in fully autonomous mode here and didn't require a physical tether. Her battery capacity was still limited, which is why the set was only 5 songs long, and her microwave receiver conked out in mid-performance, so the secondary antenna was deployed from her skirt for this song, but it was a great proof of concept that the Yuibot could finally perform on stages that weren't especially built for her. The rest, as they say, is history!
Great reaction as always! For me, IDZ is the most Babymetal of all the Babymetal songs. It has all the elements. Great guitar solos, Yui and Moa are up there doing what Moimoi do best, fun choreography, Su gets to show off her vocal power, and the crowd has plenty of opportunity to join in. I often get a little choked up reading the lyrics. IDK why exactly. I like that, while the lyrics speak against the bullyers...bulliers?? those who bully... and those who let it happen, it also encourages the bullied to rise above it. Fly fly fly fly. Kids should be encouraged how to find the inner strength to believe in themselves. Sometimes a person has to just suck it up. That is not easy to do, especially now when everyone is clamoring to be labeled a victim, but they should be taught or encouraged to do so. When you face endless bullying at a vulnerable age those feelings of inadequacy don't necessarily fully go away and I think can affect a person and damage their path to success in live. Of course, I think its fairly common for people who are bullied to lash out and bully others to make themselves feel better which creates that endless cycle. Seems like sucking it up is a better way to stop the cycle. Wow! I rambled on about this. haha sorry :D
This is my favorite song! I had the same reaction when watching this video, without even knowing the meaning of the song. Then I started to investigate the meaning of the song and the situation in which I was babymetal at that concert and I cried again haha, who would have thought it .. babymetal the band that many in that concert were ready to boo them and throw bottles at them won by audience with a song about bullying ... as I read in a comment of that concert "This performance will be, forever, the most beautiful and courageous jump without a parachute by three of the loveliest girls possible." 🤘🦊🤘❤
Don’t be afraid to shed a tear to a Babymetal song. There are very few who haven’t. Great reaction as always and well done on getting through the lyrics. Japanese to English is not a simple task to follow. My request is for you to do all the first 2 albums , before you embark on the post Yui era. 🦊🦊🦊🦊

I think that fukei spirit flows freely between Sakura Gakuin and BabyMetal. :)
I don't have kids. I don't want kids. But when I see these amazing human beings perform, I feel like a very proud father. 🤘🦊🤘
素晴らしいリアクション動画を感謝します。 ありがとぅ
I'm a 46 yr old metalhead been listening to Babymetal for 6 yrs. Realizing how much good and positivity they bring to this messed up world it's ok to cry and get emotional..
感動的なリアクションありがとう♪

真摯に観てくれて有り難い
Why do they make us cry and give goosebumps all the time? Moa was once asked why Babymetal is so much loved and she gave a very smart answer:" I want to know myself."
If I remember correctly, it was leaked Moa is at uni. and she is actually doing a study on music and the impact on people.
best song about anti bullying ever. not only do they call out the bullies, but also those that stood by and did nothing to stop it. seriously, how many groups metal or otherwise has addressed this issue. we need more of this positivity in the world today. 🤘🦊🤘

The day after Moa’s 15th birthday a week or so after Yui’s. Su was just 16. These girls are absolutely amazing. Truly unique.
オイラももらい泣きしちゃったよ🥲
At the end of the songs.. We want more.. We want more.. We want more...make me cry so bad like a baby.. What a legendary..
I think this is the most important show for them🤘😎🤘
Such an important moment in music history...not only did they nope the door for themselves but all Eastern artists...

This is the first BABYMETAL world tour

Great reaction to a great performance! I love the look Su gives at 4:05 like "Alright, we got 'em now"
Definitely shows you're becoming a fan - getting emotional is perfectly natural to this particular performance as not only did the girls and the band absolutely kill it, they proved to the world outside of Japan that they were so much more than a gimmick and a meme but were a quality metal act as well. Can only imagine the sense of accomplishment they felt as they were cheered off the stage and I'm so pleased for them - I grew up in the UK and was in a few festival crowds in my time and if they turn against you, you'll know all about it.

“There are so many different types of artists playing this festival but I hope to deliver a one and only, unique style metal - BABYMETAL - even to those who will see us for the very first time. This will be our very first time in the UK, which makes us nervous, yet excited just imagining what type of people will come and see us, what sort of show it will end up being, and whether the audience will enjoy our show. We’ll hopefully get to see Metallica-san’s performance again after witnessing them at Summer Sonic festival in Japan which we are very excited about.”
This is where history was made that day for BABYMETAL the way they won over the crowd. To hear the crowd chanting WE WANT MORE at the end must of made them very happy. And YUI-CHAN still rocking it live with a torn outfit, classic.
BABYMETAL 4 LIFE....
SEE YU......
Excellent reaction, thank you. I think there are probably enough comments already about how significant this performance and this song in particular are, so I would just be repeating all that if I tried to add anything more. I will just say I am really enjoying all your BABYMETAL reactions and I'm looking forward to seeing whatever you do next.
BABYMETAL has a way of making you feel emotions you never knew you could. Great reaction!
IDZ Is one of the most representative songs by BM, as every aspect blends in perfectly, lyrics, dancing, music and of course singing, that line "I'll protect you" may sound empty words, until you realise that's SU shouting "kara" at 150 decibels, like a lioness roaring!
When you've the chance, you may like to watch their Wembley Show, an amazing performance, there they explain the reason why they choose London to start their 2016 World Tour, a touching moment!
🤘🦊⚡
ありがとう！
The favourite thing a BM fan usually do is watching new people react to BM for the first time, like we want to feel, to share that feeling, experience that journey again...
I also cried with watching this legendary live video. I just admire their talent and courage.
Wonderful reaction.
This band never dissapointing me, ever 🤘🏿🦊🤘🏿
Sigh...my only regret about babymetal: all those songs i already know, and cant experience them again for the first time.
But, that said, glad to see others to have that experience. Great reaction again.
Im pretty sure I cry whenever I see our Queen Su- Metal most cherished memory.
Great & thanks again from Japan 有難う💛 The phrase "Dame Zettai (= No absolutely)" is originated from police campaign against illegal drugs which had started in 1960s. So this song implies that "Ijime (= bullying)" is considered as harmful and addictive as illegal drugs. We have to continue our efforts at home and in school (and in any society in the world) to eliminate it. In this video we see many mosh pits that are good signs to welcome bands. But I love more to see that the excited crowd gradually turn into enthusiastic audience. And when three girls started to speak some words in the interlude, loud cheers quickly subsided and the audience even tried to listen to what they were saying although the people could not understand our language. I am emotionally moved whenever I see that scene. After the performance, people in the crowd became happy, so did Kami band, and I am sure that the three girls fell asleep very happily that night.
Now in 2021, BABYMETAL performed IDZ in all of 10 Budokan shows either as grand finale or second song after the opening show. It was probably their message to the world.
Thank you for the additional info. Definitely an all time epic performance!🤘🦊🤘 People don't often mention they were the first act of the day. Ithink like 11am or something. . .unusual for the crowd to be THAT big for the first band of the day! 🤘🦊🤘
Good analysis. I think this song is about Su Metal's home town, Hiroshima. Am I the only one that sees this? Really think about it
This is my favorite BABYMETAL song.
And first listen to this song in part of guitar solo i got emotional too, this is like a whole song 😁
Good reaction 🤘
My favourite moments in this video are when Su waves her hand wildly (at 8:35 in your video) and soon after that when they just stand there and just soak it in for a few seconds. You can almost feel the weight falling off their shoulders and the relief about their receptance. It’s probably strange to feel proud of someone you don’t know personally, but that’s definitely one of the emotions I (and I assume most fans) feel at that moment.
Note the day of the show was July 5th, so that was the day after Moa's 15th birthday (with Yui's 15th being two weeks before that). Imagine going on stage with such trepidation about the crowd, but by the time you're leaving the stage with your beloved friends and bandmates, you have the crowd roaring with applause and chanting for more... and just yesterday was your birthday. That has to be absolute elation! A triumph for them all, to be sure. :)
Gombers! Another great reaction. I could watch this show every day and not get tired of it. Like others in The One, I have developed a real connection with these girls and it makes me happy to see them do well. We have all teared up at some point or another watching them so we get it and no need to apologize. I look forward to more reactions from you! Kitsune Up! 🤘🦊🤘
First Babymetal World Tour in front of 50000++ 🇬🇧 Metalheads. They appear, gave the shock and wow factor and the rest is history. 🦊🦊🦊🤘🇯🇵🇬🇧🇸🇬
Babymetal does: shock and awwwww. :-)
Fans who like JPop and Metal fusion will appreciate Babymetal.
This is the ending song of a very successful performance and their world domination starts here🔥🔥🔥 I also get emotional all the time watching this video (now I get emotional watching every performance😭)Love and Respect for them ❤️ BABYMETAL ❤️🦊🤘
They had a switch to the main stage at the last minute...they had limited rehearsal time...Yui's costume was self-destructing...they were terrified...and they OWNED!
if you ever watch the whole 30 minutes, it's great. when they first come on stage, Yui has trouble with her flag and then Moa freezes up in the beginning and misses her first dance move. you can see their confidence grow through the performance. in the end, they owned it
Listen to ”Awadama Fever” to calm your feelings that have become serious
React to BABYMETAL - Road Of Resistance Live in Japan
This really was the best... I cried watching you cry. Thank you, Gombers - Metal. ❤
No matter how many times I watch this on my own or watch reactors watch this performance, I tear up. I feel so happy and proud of these girls. 🤘🦊🤘
Wonderful reaction; I’ve watched this dozens of times and I still get emotional!
These guy’s are truly amazing!
#notacult
Yeah, BabyMetal does that. She can emote so well with her voice plus the story in the dancing. There are a number of songs that bring me tears for various reasons. SU held up releasing one song for 2.5 years because she could not get the emotion right. That chick doesn't fuck around. They have amazing power....
That song Su begged off for over 2 years was Akatsuki unfinished. Gombers did that one recently :) Kitsunes up! 🤘🦊🤘
@@CHRISCONTEPSS It was "No Rain No Rainbow" right...
@@CHRISCONTEPSS It was No Rain No Rainbow from what I read
Alright, I always get misty eyed during this song, but you made me cry! Love to see your emotions about what was actually a momentous time in the bands’ introduction to the world and meant so much for and to them! The meaning of the song is also very important and helpful to today’s kids! Awesome reaction as always and look forward to more!! Also recommend Awadama Fever!!🦊🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
Thank you 🙏
Not gonna lie Babymetals been my favourite band since 2014 when I saw a facebook link someone had that linked me to Gimme Chocolate, been hooked ever since, for the last year I've just been binge watching every reaction I see! Always love to see a new Babymetal react!!
Throughout 2018 and 2019 I took a step back from Babymetal for a while, my best friend/brother inlaw was the only friend I had that liked Babymetal, and well he commited suicide new years eve 2017, so was too sad to listen to it, but I've been back in the game for a little over a year now! :D
Always nice to see that BABYMETAL smile! I'm surprised you didn't notice Yui's wardrobe malfunction with her self-destructing skirt lol: imagine how that must have been for a nervous 15 year old in front of a 50,000+ crowd: but Yui didn't miss a beat and carried on like a true pro!
You should check out "Arkadia" from 2019, which some believe is a tribute song for Yui. :)
I actually did notice it but was so caught up in the performance I was just mostly quiet 😅
Thanks for the gerat reaction. Your tears brought me to tears and made me recall that I used to cry watching this video alone. This performance is so epic and meaningful; no need to mention in detail because it's already been told a lot about it here. :)
Mikio's wailing leads and all the Yui close ups (You even paused on one to wipe away your tears) really make me sad. But Babymetal makes me so happy that the sadness is overwhelmed entirely.
The way they paused at the end of the song to soak up the adoration as the crowd chanted "We want more." Love it. In the words of Charlie Sheen: "Winning!"
Then the immortal "See you!"
It's been over two months since my fall into the Foxhole. Does Babymetal ever get old?
I can't stop. But don't help me because I'm okay.
Peace
I.D.Z live Best the best 🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅
Look how excited Su is at the end after the last “WE ARE” chant, amazing stuff. Some real legend shit.
You mention the call and response with MoiMoi (Yui & Moa), a big part of their roles is crowd involvement. They’re essentially the hypemen of BABYMETAL
No more forgetting to record the audio pls ;)
I think that was also why I got so emotional, as they reached the end of the set you could see how happy and excited all of them were that the crowd loved and appreciated them. It truly felt like such a full circle moment after watching the guide.
@@gombers Maybe I am the only one, cuz I am older, but I feel this song is about what happened to Hiroshima, Su Metals home. Does anyone else see this?
@@AlizeeDefan
nakametal wrote the lyrics, and he's certainly not from hiroshima.
You killed it again...and got me to shed a tear. Keep rollin'!
thank-you love love BM😂
This was the moment BABYMETAL took over the world! btw, did you notice YUI's ripped skirt? They worked hard that day! :)
Thankyou for your reaction👊🏽🤘🏾 I am generally tearful whenI hear this song and many others by Babymetal. Currently my 4 favorite bands are Metallica, the Beatles, Led Zeppelin and Babymetal. Not at all in that order🦊
When you let these girls into your heart, they won't let go. And I'm OK with that. :-)
お疲れ様です☆ イジメ大好きです❣️🦊ありがとうございました❣️
これでイギリス人の心を掴んだんだよね。😊
I think the first time a kitsune sees this it's emotional because you want them to succeed and there's still a little bit of nervousness and uncertainty that such tiny girls can boss such a big crowd. They always come through!
Loved your reaction, thanks!!
This is probably their most important performance ever. And it's so cool. There is a little second in the middle of the song when Su looks at the crowd doing their circle pits and so and she sees she has already won as she smiles. Then she quickly went back to her usual metal mode. It's priceless!
I know it's not that kind of song (or it is?) but the performance of this song from the Legend Metal Galaxy concert caught me off guard. So emotional.
Until next time!
Great reaction - you cried very gracefully, I didn't even notice until you began wiping your eyes & then mentioned it! Wait a minute, is that a "Go Ugly Early" mug I see in the background young lady?! Around here that phrase was known as one of the three rules of the "🐷 Master".
Looking forward to next BABYMETAL!!
Arigatou! 🦊🤘💙 #notacult
It’s one of my roommates cups actually! I think it’s from a bar or something
I truly enjoyed your reaction - getting misty eyed at this performance is not that unusual for me as well. :-) And IDZ is definitely one of my favorite BM songs (probably my no 3), it still sounds so fresh and energetic.
GJ on the reaction. It's songs like this that reason ain't nothing like Babymetal but Babymetal
Great reaction! It hits us all emotionally for many reasons.
It would be great if you can react to BABYMETAL's "Trilogy of Light". That is 3 songs in order Starlight, Shine and Arkadia. Use the BABYMETAL Reactor Resource so they don't get blocked. These 3 songs are unofficially known to fans as a tribute to Mikio (RIP) who died in 2018 falling off of an observation platform and maybe even Yui who left in 2018 due to unknown health reasons. Both were known to love observing the stars. These songs are very emotional to me, specially Shine from the Legend M concert.
The 3 songs I believe represent the 3 stages of grief. 1 Starlight is the loss of someone 2 Shine is handling the sadness of the loss and 3 Arkadia is accepting the loss and moving forward.
As someone else has said, I wish I could go back and relive my first reactions to BABYMETAL, but I can only do that now through you and your great reactions. I can't wait to see more! Stay Safe and Stay Metal!
🤘🦊🤘
For me it’s a legendary performance. Even now people around the world are watching his performance video.
You're the one of us.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful first reaction and thoughts on this. I’m sorry for what happened at your high school show.
It’s not as bad as it sounds haha. The crowd actually was pretty receptive but there’s always those jerks that gotta throw something. It was over 10 years ago at this point and I had played at least a dozen other shows since then. (No longer playing music though, just a big lover of it 😁)
Great reaction i have seen this countless times and i still tear up and feel pride for them and what they had just achieved. The passion Su sings this with gives me Goosebumps. Move forward to Legend Metal Galaxy day 2 . Su still sings and performers this song with passion. 🤘🦊🤘❤
i feel too！thanks your good react.
Great reaction. Thank you very much.
Great reaction. I've seen this video a thousand times, but I still get a bit emotional watching it, and frankly it's such a great song.
Su is a monster, such an incredible talent. A 16 yo getting in front of 50K+ unknown people, away from her country, and when she saw that crowd her reaction was "this is going to be fun", and proceeded to just kill it. Yui and Moa feed off her, but everything starts with SU.
She's true definition of metal !! hahaha
And NO one could probably guess that if you see her in Sakura Gakuin. So i have so much respect for them. If I stood in front of 50k+ at that age, I'd probably crap my pants....
That has to be very daunting, even after playing the renowned Budokan two sold out nights in a row. Budokan's a big deal as a venue, but it was still home turf. At Sonisphere, they were, I guess you could say, truly out in the wilderness of touring.
Great reaction. I feel the same. It's a magic show and so emotional ❤❤❤
I get emotional too! And I've been a fan since 2015! I think it's just great because they have worked very long and hard for they're success. The part that gets me is that they are still concurring hearts and metalheads to this day! LONG LIVE BABYMETAL!
That day they wore red tutu and stood on the stage of the world outside of Japan. Let crowd witness what kawaii metal is!
We love your reactions, Gombers!
BABYMETAL FOREVER
🤘🤘🤘
All hail The Fox God
goodchoice,good reaction of babymetal.
I thought I was the only one that cried during this song. From the opening piano chords, It makes me feel very emotional. Yes, a lot to do with what you said, about overcoming fear of those meek, young girls facing a brash, salty hard core metal crowd of 65,000 and nailing it. It had to be an unbelievable feeling for those young ladies.
It also makes me think this songs way way beyond of just local bullying. I firmly feel this song has a lot to do with Su Metal's home town.,,, Hiroshima Just put 2 & 2 together and you will see this clearly. I simply love your channel Miss Gomber I didn't get it at first, but now I do ! Tell me if u feel the same way about this song, as I did. Peace and love
You probably dont give a shit but if you're stoned like me during the covid times you can stream pretty much all of the new movies on InstaFlixxer. Have been streaming with my girlfriend for the last weeks :)
@Ira Memphis yup, have been using InstaFlixxer for since november myself :)
i just became a big fan of your reaction channel. 6:00～ superb
Thanks so much!! I’m glad you liked it and hope to see you in the comments in the next one 😁🖤🦊🤘
Babymetal, my religion! 🤘🦊🤘
4:25 .. yeah, in that part I get the same feeling as you. It's beautiful how the crowd is enjoying them. And thanks for making me cry (again) with you 🤟🏽🦊❤️
I love your tears .
good reaction.
I love it.
That was very important for them, their first metal festival and the first time in front of a big foreigner crowd, with a lot criticism that had been around the internet that year. They had just become viral with the Gimme Chocolate! video and a lot of haters were bitching that they didn't want them on a metal festival like sonisphere and that this wasn't true metal. They were afraid, but as you can see they stole the show. Su still remembers, as she mentioned in an interview past holidays: th-cam.com/video/hht8Ey-tfP8/w-d-xo.html
This was a very special show for the girls. This was really the first time the band realized they might be able to successfully put on a legit world tour. Before this show, they had never performed in front of a large outdoor audience with the Yuibot mark IV, which was in fully autonomous mode here and didn't require a physical tether. Her battery capacity was still limited, which is why the set was only 5 songs long, and her microwave receiver conked out in mid-performance, so the secondary antenna was deployed from her skirt for this song, but it was a great proof of concept that the Yuibot could finally perform on stages that weren't especially built for her. The rest, as they say, is history!
I love your reactions to babymetal!
hello!! from japan please next baby metal ・・・BABYMETAL - Road of Resistance - Live in Japan
私は最近BABYMETALのファンになりましたが、この動画を見てとても驚きました😂
Great reaction as always! For me, IDZ is the most Babymetal of all the Babymetal songs. It has all the elements. Great guitar solos, Yui and Moa are up there doing what Moimoi do best, fun choreography, Su gets to show off her vocal power, and the crowd has plenty of opportunity to join in.
I often get a little choked up reading the lyrics. IDK why exactly. I like that, while the lyrics speak against the bullyers...bulliers?? those who bully... and those who let it happen, it also encourages the bullied to rise above it. Fly fly fly fly. Kids should be encouraged how to find the inner strength to believe in themselves. Sometimes a person has to just suck it up. That is not easy to do, especially now when everyone is clamoring to be labeled a victim, but they should be taught or encouraged to do so. When you face endless bullying at a vulnerable age those feelings of inadequacy don't necessarily fully go away and I think can affect a person and damage their path to success in live. Of course, I think its fairly common for people who are bullied to lash out and bully others to make themselves feel better which creates that endless cycle. Seems like sucking it up is a better way to stop the cycle.
Wow! I rambled on about this. haha sorry :D
Do not apologize for the ramble! I always enjoy reading your comments 😁
@@gombers 🙂
This is my favorite song!
I had the same reaction when watching this video, without even knowing the meaning of the song. Then I started to investigate the meaning of the song and the situation in which I was babymetal at that concert and I cried again haha, who would have thought it .. babymetal the band that many in that concert were ready to boo them and throw bottles at them won by audience with a song about bullying ... as I read in a comment of that concert "This performance will be, forever, the most beautiful and courageous jump without a parachute by three of the loveliest girls possible." 🤘🦊🤘❤
Don’t be afraid to shed a tear to a Babymetal song. There are very few who haven’t. Great reaction as always and well done on getting through the lyrics. Japanese to English is not a simple task to follow. My request is for you to do all the first 2 albums , before you embark on the post Yui era.
