The highest attended Babymetal solo concerts were the Tokyo Dome shows in 2016 where they had 55,000 fans each of the two nights they performed there. They played every song in their catalog over the two nights, and never played the same song twice. It also had the most insanely large stage of any of their concerts.
For your dream, for your faith, for your life, no more tears, no more pain, no more cry. What a BEAUTIFUL song this one is! Oh an edit, I think their biggest concert was 2016 Tokyo Dome, but Wembley, Budokan and Makuhari Messe were all colossal shows
Budokan wasn't as big audience wise in hindsight (for their Japan shows at least), it's listed with 14.5k max capacity. Legend Metal Galaxy in January was probably their second biggest, because it was the two big halls of Makuhari Messe, which would probably be around 22 - 24k people. And don't forget their 20 - 22k Saitama Super Arena concerts.
Great reaction again - and I'll just echo the calls for 'Shine' so you can complete the Trilogy of Lights with another masterpiece and so you can wonder (again) at Su's vocals and Moa's harmonies.
Arkadia is the last song on the Metal Galaxy album and a great way to end an album. As people have already said, the last 3 songs on MG, Starlight, Shine, and Arkadia, make up the "Trilogy of Lights". These songs deal with the sadness of loss, (Starlight) coming to terms with it, (Shine) and moving on to the future (Arkadia). Shine is a beautiful song, a masterpiece imo. Hopefully you can get to it soon.
Nice again & thanks from Japan 有難う💛。This is a compilation from 4 shows ; 3 in Japan (Yokohama, Osaka and Makuhari), and 1 in US (the Forum, LA), but the audio from Makuhari. 2 days show in Makuhari were special because 2 Kami Bands (East & West) played on the same stage. "Trilogy of Lights" including "Arkadia" were performed on Day 2 and West Kamis mainly played that day. The powerful drummer has not been identified officially, but, of course, fans figured out who he is. Anthony BARONE is one of my favorite drummers now.
Smokey: " I would guess this is off the..." Hollywood: "Metal Galaxy!" Smokey: "...because of what was going on in the background there." Look at the Babymetal experts...Proud of you 👍
I'm not surprised they are Babymetal experts as they've probably done more reactions to them than any other reactor on Earth. Still, always more to watch and learn from!🦊🤘🦊
Arcadia was a Greek City-State back in the day, and did fight with Leonidas at Thermopylae , but that's not the use here. Arcadia has become a metaphor for a place where everything is living in harmony, and pretty sure that's what this song is about. They don't play 2 hours, on tour they play an hour/hour and a quarter for regular shows. This concert is abou 90ish minutes. They did a concert the night before with a completely different setlist, no songs duplicated, so they do memorize a bunch of choreo. Biggest crowd they have played for as a headliner is Tokyo Dome, 55,000.
Arkadia, what an amazing theme, surely top3 Babymetal songs for me. And it is a pity it is so underrated because it doesn't have an official video which is sad. Best song from Metal Galaxy for sure. Arkadia is the third song of a trilogy of songs (Starlight, Shine and Arkadia) that are meant to be an emotional journey through the hardships the band had to fight in 2018 (Yui's departure, Mikio Fujioka's death). Arkadia is the last step on the trilogy, that is meant to be their decision to continue going ahead. _For your dream, for your faith, for your life._
Excellent. BABYMETAL'S "Metal Galaxy" recently won MTV Japan's VMA for "Album Of The Year". Btw, I've seen both BABYMETAL & Michael Jackson (with his brothers) LIVE. The Jackson 5ive (MJ & his 4 older brothers) had their first #1 hit, "I Want You Back", when Michael was 12 years old. Largest Michael Jackson concert was 127,000 held at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool, England (home of the Beatles) in 1988. Arigatou! 🦊🤘 #notacult
Really? This spring, BabyMetal ended a world tour in Russia. They have been doing world tours for about six years now. They have done shows on every continent, except Antarctica. What parts of the world are you talking about?
Yeah, Arkadia. This is my favorite BABYMETAL song from Metal Galaxy album . I always got a goosebumps in part "No more tears, No more pain, No more cry" that's was very very amazing . The drums is so fast and the guitars solo is amazing . Su-Metal vocal very very beautiful . Great reaction 🤘🦊😁
BABYMETAL MONDAY!!! I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG! The drummer is a beast, and this was the 2nd to last song performed during their 2 day concert, "Legend - Metal Galaxy", held earlier this year in Japan...12 songs each night!
Since you mentioned the drummer... Legend has it, he went so fast one time that he overtook himself, thereby inventing time travel.... True story.. so I've heard. Nice reaction, guys. Always enjoy watching you.
Another great reaction, guys. Arenas they have played: Wembley Arena 12,500; Budokan 14,000; Yokohama Arena 17,000; Saitama Super Arena 36,500; Tokyo Dome 55,000 (2 consecutive nights). They've played festivals where the crowds were 60,000 and above but Only The Fox God (or maybe Grington300 300 or Rick Wagner) Knows which was their biggest audience.
I'm not actually sure. Of course the biggest headling shows were the two nights at Tokyo Dome, but I'm not sure which festival had the biggest BABYMETAL crowd. It's hard to accurately track when there are multiple stages. Maybe 80,000 to 100,000 people at Rock in Japan in 2016.
Hey Hollywood and Smokeypedia 😁 Ok now you did 'Starlight' and 'Arkadia'. Both belong to the Trilogy of Light from the latest Album. Only 'Shine' is missing which is the song right in between. Their highest attendanced Babymetal Concert was in 2016 "Tokyo Dome Red Night" and "Tokyo Dome Black Night". Back to back 55k people for each night and they played their whole catalogue from 1st&2nd Album split on the 2 nights. Tokyo Dome is also the biggest Baseballarena in Japan. Sonisphere2014 (in UK) could be more people, but it was a festival which you saw from your "ijime, dame, zettai" reaction. See you 🦊🤘🏻
This is the Western Kami Band. The drummer is Anthony Barone of the death core band, Shadows of Intent. He is a freaking beast on the skins. An epic song for sure.
Yes Su is just 22 years old, in december 20th she will be 23... This is my favorite song from the Metal Galaxy album and it's part of the trilogy of the light (Starlight - Shine - Arkadia). It's gives me the vibe that it's dedicated to YUIMETAL (like Starlight it's to Mikio), because of the lyrics and also in the "Awakens - Sun Also Rises" concert is the only one where they start it with this song, and that concert it's kind of to celebrate Yui's 20th b'day
The highest attended was the tokyo dome at 55,000 a night for two nights. They are doing ten shows at the budakon next year which will rival that in pure numbers. As to what to watch next, shine which is the precursor to Arcadia, Akasuki unfinished, and Animation for you
excellent content fellas, Arkadia in the Babymetal world is a city of lights within the metal galaxy, it's a land of hope and dreams, it heals your wounds from loss and sadness, that's why it's the finale of the trilogy of lights. they usually go for an hour non-stop, but that could change, Su and Moa have energy to spare and if they keep using multiple avengers, it's very possible, plus now that they are able to take their big show on the road, makes it even a better possibility, yeah you guys need to checkout the middle song of the trilogy "Shine" it's very emotional especially the debut of it, Just Su and Moa and an acoustic guitar, that looks like the one that Mikio gave to Moa, I'm tearing up just thinking about it.
The first time I saw this song I got really teary eyed. It is soo great. And it really showcases all the strengths of Babymetal. With a lot of attention spent on the musicians as well.
I this is the last song from the Trilogy of Lights (“Starlight”, “Shine”, “Arkadia”). You already reacted to “Starlight”, so maybe it’s a turn for “Shine”?
SHINE next please. Another great BM song. Also you could consider watching “ An unhelpful guide to Babymetal “. A forty minute documentary about them from the very beginning to the present day.
The unhelpful guide is feminist propaganda. It's very distorted. She rewrites history to suit her narrative. The history of Suzuka Nakamoto is much much better. The woman who made the unhelpful guide pretends like Karen Girls and ASH never happened and that it's all because of Sakura Gakuin. Apparently Karen Girls wasn't feminist enough. She cherry picks lyrics from 2 songs to try to say that BABYMETAL are man hating feminists. None of it is true. For all the lyrics of Sis Anger the fact is that GJ says the exact opposite and the other 48 songs say nothing.
The largest crowd in Japan was at the Tokyo Dome - 55,000. Probably more saw them at Glastonbury 2019, although it is unclear how many of the 200,000 attendees watched them. At the big concerts BM would gave a support act, and then they were on for around 100 minutes. In the 2019-20 World tour they did an intense no rest performance if 60 minutes or so in relatively small venues
3 months late but their biggest show was Tokyo Dome in 2016, and I was there, first time in my life I traveled outside of Europe, and first time I took the plane by myself. And I regret nothing, best year of my life so far even tho I was pretty broke at the end XD 55 000 people on 2 nights for a total of 110 000 people, crazy
Tokyo Dome 2016. 55,000. sold out 2 nights in a row. no repeat songs. biggest crowds for shows. second all the votes for Shine. i absolutely love that song. it show Su and how mature her vocals have become. you are getting what Babymetal is. along with others like me there is no other band that can do what they do. there is no other band that can do so many different genre of metal and make it great. yes you might know of some that do a couple but not like Babymetal. their range of talent is awesome. you are bringing up alot of what i think about too. you have to see them live. when i saw them at the Forum last year Su messed up on Shine but it was understandable being the next to last song. to me this going to sound weird but i loved hearing that mess up because to me it proved she is live what you hear. i am fine with her not being perfect. but to hear her voice is, you have to hear it to understand what i mean. maybe next year you will see them live. and yes i cant wait to hear them again myself.
The video was a compilation of shows within the past year. The audio was from Legend: Metal Galaxy, a concert in January 2020. The drummer was one of the Amerikamis, Anthony Barone. Su turns 23 on December 20th, their biggest concerts were the 2 Tokyo Dome shows at 55k in 2 consecutive nights. They are power incarnate. Can't wait for the world to get vaccinated so we can see them perform again. 🤘🦊🦊🦊🤘
You said it perfectly for Arkadia: TRIUMPHANT. Feels like flooring the pedal in a Porsche on a smooth road without traffic into the sunset :) Babymetal biggest attendance so far I think is Tokyo Dome 2016, 2 night shows, 60 thousand each night (120 in total). I think they used to do 2 hour shows until Yui's departure. Afterwards, usually it's an hour. You haven't done META TARO please, thank you... ^^
You should react to Kagerou with the Kami Band intro, but this Kami band is diffenrent, is the Western Band, with different musicians, the drummer is Anthony Barone
"Trilogy of Light" This song is a final part story of The third album (Metal Galaxy 2019), the new era of Babymetal, the tribute to Mikio & Yui, the rise of hope... Starlight - Shine - Arkadia
For what I know (and it's not that much) people were not fainting at Babymetal concerts. But when they played IDZ after a long hiatus of the song at Legend Metal Galaxy people were crying like little babies.
THIS is my favorite from the MG album. This is the last song from the Trilogy of Lights. The first is Starlight and the second one is Shine. Shine is a ballad. Su belts a really high note here and also have a soothing voice. Moa also played the guitar intro here in their Legend M performance. The song itself us really heartwarming. The Trilogy of Lights is all about facing a loss or a problem. Starlight is about the pain and agony you feel, Shine is about facing it and trying to overcome it, and Arkadia is about moving on from it and looking forward to a place "for your dream, for your faith, and for your life, to a place beyond the light, with no more tears, no more pain, no more cry." To a place called Arkadia.
You guys could always react to other types of *BABYMETAL* content. Like, interviews or maybe some of the SG performances. There is also a really good fan-made documentary on *TH-cam* called: *"An Unhelpful Guide To BABYMETAL"* that you guys could maybe react to. Unless you've already watched it. It's become semi-viral so I wouldn't be surprised if you've seen it. Just thought I'd throw that out there. GG, my dudes. Peace~
Reading the lyrics made me appreciate this song much more, for some reason, especially in light of the whole Trilogy of Lights. It describes the stage where you begin to see new hope after suffering loss. Knowing this and the story of the two preceding songs, the chorus with the "no more tears, no more pain, no more cry"hits me much more emotionally.
Arkadia is the name of a region of Greece in the center of the Peloponnesian Peninsula. It's a beautiful verdant region with rolling hills, mountains, gurgling streams, forests and idyllic farmland.
Id say their biggest show was I believe Download festival in the UK. They were supposed to play on one of the smaller stages, but ended up playing on the main stage in front of 50,000 people!
Babymetal's own shows have been mentioned. But Babymetal at festivals in Europe are bigger crowds, different festivals: 60 000, 80 000, 90 000, some say the biggest had 100 000 people, I think that last one was an exaggeration. After the Tokyo Dome show Kobametal and the girls said: Tokyo Dome (55 000) doesn't feel as big as we expected. :-) Well Babymetal are youngest female artist to perform at Budokan, the youngest person to ever perform at Budokan was: Michael Jackson part of the Jackson Five. :-) Babymetal's big sisters in Amuse are Perfume, they are one of the biggest artists in Japan. They rank as best well known persons in Japan for any idol group in Japan. Although Babymetal and Perfume are artists, with idol origin, they are now just artist in many people's opinion. Babymetal has played at The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, it's the same venue (Ed Sullivan Theater) as the Beatles performed when they first performed in the US (The Ed Sullivan Show). It was the first Babymetal appearance on US television. Babymetal keeps growing their fan base, but they are working for it. It's not Michael Jackson or Beatles fast, but they are working on it.
I believe the drummer for this one was Anthony Barone. And nowadays their shows don't last much longer than an hour. And if I'm not wrong, they're the biggest selling Japanese musical export ever.
Babymetal are back and are excited for the Kouhaku - December 31, and the 10 Gongs in the Babymetal Doomsday - starting January 19th th-cam.com/video/yi4ipfCjZtE/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/SrKFpeBZv9I/w-d-xo.html Kitsune will be revealing more. Also, Happy 23rd birthday Suzuka Nakamoto on 20 December
Their music always bring joy and good vibes. And those girls have a great work and big effort. Hands down for them. Thanks for appreciating their music Smokey n Hollywood. Really I appreciate it . Keep Kitsune Up 🤘🏿🦊🤘🏿 Stay safe and healthy guys 🙏
Not many channels do good, fun, enjoyable reactions like you guys, you always make a deep analysis of the videos you watch. Hope your channel keeps growing.
The thing is Michael Jackson was the absolute top star of the absolute leader market of world pop culture and sang in English. Those are three tiny girls from Japan and while Japan is known as the second largest music industry in the world, it's impossible to compare both contexts. But yeah, they deserve as much praise as MJ got all the same at the time for how young and how talented they are. Not judging by the crowds they gather. But in terms of biggest crowds I guess it's 60k in music festivals (around that number) but as a solo-artist concert, obviously Tokyo Dome, with 55k people two nights in a row ;). As for winding down, there's always things to react to even if it's not necessarily music related. Like interviews, compilations of funny moments, the unhelpful guide, all of the Sakura Gakuin songs and videos from 2010 to 2015 (and that's a big fat catalog of videos right there) ;).
Their solo shows are usually around 90 minutes. Some are longer and some shorter. It's insane how much work has to go in for the girls to be able to pull off what they do. I mean, just listen to Su in this video! Perfect vocals with all that choreo! People definitely cry during Babymetal shows. The girls (I think it was Su? idk) have talked about seeing fans crying in the crowd and how that's motivated them and made them realize the power in their music. You should check out 'Shine' live. It's the song before this one in the album as some have explained here.
Great fun reaction as always . BabyMetal have played in front of 65.000 or more at festivals in there tèens but at there shows as already mentioned Tokyo Dome 55.000 two sold out nights . They played to a sold out LA Forum 17.500 i belive last year . You have to remember BabyMetal are not mainstream . Michael Jackson was mainstream Who got lots of airplay and mainstream recontion and awards (Rightly so) Even mainstream artists like Taylor Swift performs to large crowds . So not getting same exposure BabyMetals achievements are even more impressive due to that in my opinion or am i just cynical. 🤘🦊🤘
Nice reaction. Their shows are a little over an hour or at most hour half. It goes by pretty fast as they do one song after another with no talking or interaction with the crowd, which usually happens during a song. As far as playing all their hits. Its rarely that they play songs that Yui was heavily involved, especially Black Banymetal. Aloha from Hawaii!!!
You would be very lucky to see Babymetal in a concert like this. They do two shows in a huge setting for video release and tour as opening acts or in smaller venues. Not that the concerts are not amazing but it is not anyway in this scale. I use Alice Cooper as a comparison as he can scale his shows to provide the visual on almost any scale. His shows run around two hours and have a wide set list depending on venue. Babymetal will do these shows and offer the videos then do tours in small venues with no tech. Check the length of the sets since they reduced the musical solos of the musicians. Vocal backing tracks and adjustments .. etc.. But ... I love them in concert and it all doesn't matter .. They are what they are and if they can pull in a younger crowd or wake up the older ones that have been sleeping it is all good. I hope they can age well and their music can grow with them.
Their shows are only about an hour and fifteen minutes long. I've been to 20 shows, small venue shows and arena shows including Tokyo Dome and The Forum, and that's about the length of all their shows. Between 12 and 14 songs total each show. They ONLY do full songs. They've never done a melody and I've only seen cutdown versions of songs for Japanese television shows. As for choreography, not only do they have to remember all the Babymetal choreo but also the Sakura Gakuin choreography when they were in SG back in the day. Now THOSE Sakura Gakuin shows were 2 to 3 hours long. Talk about talent. Screw the haters who have NO idea what they're capable of. Su will be 23 this December 20th. I've cried at Babymetal concerts and when I saw them up close but I didn't faint. Lol. Suggestion for next Babymetal song: "Shine" to finish up the trilogy of lights. Arkadia,Shine, and Starlight.
My favorite BABYMETAL song is Ijime,Dame,Zettai and Megitsune. My favorite song that Su,Moa and Yui are involved in is My Graduation Toss. You’re far down the foxhole now... take a look at what they were doing when BABYMETAL began. But if you do react to it, pick the live 2012 Sakura Gakuin My Graduation Toss.
Michael Jackson recorded Thriller when he was 24. Su is 22 and is not a pop singer . Metal music has always been underground. Babymetal has done a few Michael size shows.
There are 2 concerts that had the Moast crowds, Tokyo Dome for 2 nights, about 100,000 and Budikan for 2 nights Red Night Black Night about 270,000. to date
Your Budokan numbers are totally off. BABYMETAL reported 10,000 people per night at Budokan, over two soldout nights. Their biggest headlining shows were the two soldout nights at Tokyo Dome with 55,000 per night.
So I've been a BABYMETAL die-hard since 2014 and i'm from USA. Michael Jackson was my personal favorite artist when I was young and i don't think that's a coincidence. What you said is what i've been saying since i had that epiphany last year - it's just nice to finally hear it from someone else lol Both times I've seen BABYMETAL in person i can say that there were a few moments when my legs were unexplainably weak in the tidal wave of their presence and i'll leave it at that. I'd be willing to bet that Tokyo Dome was their largest concert at 55,000 but they probably could have sold it out 3X over. In the spirit of "triumphantness" check out their folk song "Meta Taro" about a metal hero!
They do get breaks when the kamiband do their solos also su does solos where she doesn’t do much dancing and they use to have black Babymetal so they do get breaks. I thought the same as you until I saw a whole concert but remembering all the choreography I haven’t got a clue and yes that drummer is insane
I don't pay attention to the lyrics of most BabyMetal songs. But every time I listen to this song, I listen to the lyrics carefully because they are full of hope. Thank you for your reaction!
I'd say the first Babymetal Album is them forming their sound, Metal Resistance was definitely them trying to pump it up to 11. And Metal Galaxy is definitely the maturity of Babymetal come to fruition. I wonder what the next album is gonna be
The time of the concerts that I have seen are almost always 1:30 maximum, they do not go beyond there. if they have moments of breaks when the Kami-band enters the solos and when they only sing SU or as previously Black Babymetal they had a set. Tokyo Dome was one of the biggest concerts and it was song after song it is impressive to see them live. someday I'll see them live is a goal
Some of my favorite Metal Galaxy songs that you haven't reacted to are "Night Night Burn!", personally because it represents my ethnicity (which I won't say yet cause I don't wanna spoil the song for you), and "Brand New Day", there's something about this song that helps me calm my anxiety, which I deeply appreciate 💕
Another great reaction. 👍🏼 I think yal will like Parkway Drive ‘Wild Eyes, Carrion, Sleepwalker, Siren Song, Wishing Wells’ just to name a few songs. Thank you guys for doing All these reactions 🤘🏼
Shine next would be cool. Su in the future will be standing next to Moa at the Rock and Roll Hall of fame. Babymetal saved metal in general in Japan. considered uncool it was a genre that was fading away there. Still had fans but only in small groups. Then Babymetal comes along and all that changes. Just look at the other Japanese bands that have been recommended since you started Babymetal monday. I even feel that I've seen more metal reactions in general over the last few yrs. Go back 6 years on youtube and there's a whole lot less. This is the Babymetal effect. Because the hit so many genres folks from all genres now have once again crossed over to listen to something new. Babymetal a genre all to themselves. And its good
The highest attended Babymetal solo concerts were the Tokyo Dome shows in 2016 where they had 55,000 fans each of the two nights they performed there. They played every song in their catalog over the two nights, and never played the same song twice. It also had the most insanely large stage of any of their concerts.
And it is the only time they played "Tales of the Destinies" live and what a performance that was.
For your dream, for your faith, for your life, no more tears, no more pain, no more cry. What a BEAUTIFUL song this one is!
Oh an edit, I think their biggest concert was 2016 Tokyo Dome, but Wembley, Budokan and Makuhari Messe were all colossal shows
LA Forum is in this video, if I'm not mistaken. It was a big show too, biggest they've had in the US.
Budokan wasn't as big audience wise in hindsight (for their Japan shows at least), it's listed with 14.5k max capacity. Legend Metal Galaxy in January was probably their second biggest, because it was the two big halls of Makuhari Messe, which would probably be around 22 - 24k people. And don't forget their 20 - 22k Saitama Super Arena concerts.

Were working on becoming Babymetal aficionados my friend

Babymetal is still underrated or unknown in other parts of the world.
Really? This spring, BabyMetal ended a world tour in Russia. They have been doing world tours for about six years now. They have done shows on every continent, except Antarctica. What parts of the world are you talking about?
But the graphic is increasing
@@SeanPat1001 I think BABYMETAL never did a concert in South America or Africa yet...

Yeah, Arkadia. This is my favorite BABYMETAL song from Metal Galaxy album . I always got a goosebumps in part "No more tears, No more pain, No more cry" that's was very very amazing . The drums is so fast and the guitars solo is amazing . Su-Metal vocal very very beautiful . Great reaction 🤘🦊😁

night night burn is blocked here in yt someone tried to react to nnb it is always blocked it's so sad it is one my of favorite songs from bm
This is the Western Kami Band. The drummer is Anthony Barone of the death core band, Shadows of Intent. He is a freaking beast on the skins. An epic song for sure.
Are you talking about the audio only?
There's footage of both "The Kamis From the West" and "The Kamis From the East" in this compilation video.
@@rickwagner- I did not notice the OG Kamis in the video. Not sure of the original source of the audio.
Audio is totally Anthony Barone
Yes Su is just 22 years old, in december 20th she will be 23... This is my favorite song from the Metal Galaxy album and it's part of the trilogy of the light (Starlight - Shine - Arkadia). It's gives me the vibe that it's dedicated to YUIMETAL (like Starlight it's to Mikio), because of the lyrics and also in the "Awakens - Sun Also Rises" concert is the only one where they start it with this song, and that concert it's kind of to celebrate Yui's 20th b'day
何故かこの曲聴くと松本零士のヤマトやハーロックが浮かんでくる｡ちなみに個人的にベビメタソングのトップ5はアルカディア、Starlight､KARATE､エレベーターガール､catch meです。聴くタイミングで順位変わります
'In the name of' is one of the best intros for a concert
The highest attended was the tokyo dome at 55,000 a night for two nights. They are doing ten shows at the budakon next year which will rival that in pure numbers.
As to what to watch next, shine which is the precursor to Arcadia, Akasuki unfinished, and Animation for you
I second "Shine"
Sonisphere 2014 with 60K? I heard Su say something about that recently
I'm hoping to be able to go to one of the ten Budokan gigs next year as I've never seen them live.
@@aamiw99 it’s more but that’s a festival, the dome came for just the girls
@@geiseric222 okay yeah then Tokyo Dome.
excellent content fellas, Arkadia in the Babymetal world is a city of lights within the metal galaxy, it's a land of hope and dreams, it heals your wounds from loss and sadness, that's why it's the finale of the trilogy of lights. they usually go for an hour non-stop, but that could change, Su and Moa have energy to spare and if they keep using multiple avengers, it's very possible, plus now that they are able to take their big show on the road, makes it even a better possibility, yeah you guys need to checkout the middle song of the trilogy "Shine" it's very emotional especially the debut of it, Just Su and Moa and an acoustic guitar, that looks like the one that Mikio gave to Moa, I'm tearing up just thinking about it.
グレイトリアクション！ありがとう！Su is 22,Moa is 21♪
Fox God🤘🦊🤘
You are the greatest reactioners of BM.
Thanks a lot for your heartfelt expressions with love from Japan.
The first time I saw this song I got really teary eyed. It is soo great. And it really showcases all the strengths of Babymetal. With a lot of attention spent on the musicians as well.
I this is the last song from the Trilogy of Lights (“Starlight”, “Shine”, “Arkadia”). You already reacted to “Starlight”, so maybe it’s a turn for “Shine”?
Shine is a must
To me the three songs from the trilogy are the best songs from the third album. Shine is also great.
When i see your photo i laught soo much, Moa Lisa 🤣🤣🤣❤
love ur photo dude ahahahahha
If they do Shine they must do the Legend M version with Moa's guitar
SHINE next please. Another great BM song. Also you could consider watching “ An unhelpful guide to Babymetal “. A forty minute documentary about them from the very beginning to the present day.
This is best vid for Shine. th-cam.com/video/VsNgGF47YZo/w-d-xo.html
I agree. Shine is a song that touches the soul! JAG LeMans provided the best video for it.
Shine might just be my favorite Babymetal song, especially the one from Legend M.
Great info in it and very helpful video , thats if you dont mind being called creepy old men for being a BabyMetal fan by the lady that made it 🤘🤣🤘
The unhelpful guide is feminist propaganda. It's very distorted. She rewrites history to suit her narrative. The history of Suzuka Nakamoto is much much better.
The woman who made the unhelpful guide pretends like Karen Girls and ASH never happened and that it's all because of Sakura Gakuin. Apparently Karen Girls wasn't feminist enough. She cherry picks lyrics from 2 songs to try to say that BABYMETAL are man hating feminists. None of it is true. For all the lyrics of Sis Anger the fact is that GJ says the exact opposite and the other 48 songs say nothing.
The largest crowd in Japan was at the Tokyo Dome - 55,000. Probably more saw them at Glastonbury 2019, although it is unclear how many of the 200,000 attendees watched them. At the big concerts BM would gave a support act, and then they were on for around 100 minutes. In the 2019-20 World tour they did an intense no rest performance if 60 minutes or so in relatively small venues
3 months late but their biggest show was Tokyo Dome in 2016, and I was there, first time in my life I traveled outside of Europe, and first time I took the plane by myself. And I regret nothing, best year of my life so far even tho I was pretty broke at the end XD
55 000 people on 2 nights for a total of 110 000 people, crazy
Great reaction! A new fan of babymetal through watching reactions. What an amazing group.
React to Da Da Dance,Brand New Day,or Night Night Burn next
Tokyo Dome 2016. 55,000. sold out 2 nights in a row. no repeat songs. biggest crowds for shows. second all the votes for Shine. i absolutely love that song. it show Su and how mature her vocals have become. you are getting what Babymetal is. along with others like me there is no other band that can do what they do. there is no other band that can do so many different genre of metal and make it great. yes you might know of some that do a couple but not like Babymetal. their range of talent is awesome. you are bringing up alot of what i think about too. you have to see them live. when i saw them at the Forum last year Su messed up on Shine but it was understandable being the next to last song. to me this going to sound weird but i loved hearing that mess up because to me it proved she is live what you hear. i am fine with her not being perfect. but to hear her voice is, you have to hear it to understand what i mean. maybe next year you will see them live. and yes i cant wait to hear them again myself.
もう君たちのは見る前から good
を押すよ！
The video was a compilation of shows within the past year. The audio was from Legend: Metal Galaxy, a concert in January 2020. The drummer was one of the Amerikamis, Anthony Barone. Su turns 23 on December 20th, their biggest concerts were the 2 Tokyo Dome shows at 55k in 2 consecutive nights. They are power incarnate. Can't wait for the world to get vaccinated so we can see them perform again. 🤘🦊🦊🦊🤘
Awesome song drummer is on a level above
You said it perfectly for Arkadia: TRIUMPHANT. Feels like flooring the pedal in a Porsche on a smooth road without traffic into the sunset :)
Babymetal biggest attendance so far I think is Tokyo Dome 2016, 2 night shows, 60 thousand each night (120 in total).
I think they used to do 2 hour shows until Yui's departure. Afterwards, usually it's an hour.
You haven't done META TARO please, thank you... ^^
You should react to Kagerou with the Kami Band intro, but this Kami band is diffenrent, is the Western Band, with different musicians, the drummer is Anthony Barone
🍅🍅🍅
🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
Trilogy Of Lights ! ! !
Tokyo Dome Red Night and Black Night-- 55,000 each night so 110,000 lucky fans
"Trilogy of Light" This song is a final part story of The third album (Metal Galaxy 2019), the new era of Babymetal, the tribute to Mikio & Yui, the rise of hope...
Starlight - Shine - Arkadia
For what I know (and it's not that much) people were not fainting at Babymetal concerts. But when they played IDZ after a long hiatus of the song at Legend Metal Galaxy people were crying like little babies.
THIS is my favorite from the MG album. This is the last song from the Trilogy of Lights. The first is Starlight and the second one is Shine. Shine is a ballad. Su belts a really high note here and also have a soothing voice. Moa also played the guitar intro here in their Legend M performance. The song itself us really heartwarming. The Trilogy of Lights is all about facing a loss or a problem. Starlight is about the pain and agony you feel, Shine is about facing it and trying to overcome it, and Arkadia is about moving on from it and looking forward to a place "for your dream, for your faith, and for your life, to a place beyond the light, with no more tears, no more pain, no more cry." To a place called Arkadia.
It took me more than 1 year to love this song
You guys could always react to other types of *BABYMETAL* content. Like, interviews or maybe some of the SG performances. There is also a really good fan-made documentary on *TH-cam* called: *"An Unhelpful Guide To BABYMETAL"* that you guys could maybe react to. Unless you've already watched it. It's become semi-viral so I wouldn't be surprised if you've seen it. Just thought I'd throw that out there. GG, my dudes. Peace~
Reading the lyrics made me appreciate this song much more, for some reason, especially in light of the whole Trilogy of Lights. It describes the stage where you begin to see new hope after suffering loss. Knowing this and the story of the two preceding songs, the chorus with the "no more tears, no more pain, no more cry"hits me much more emotionally.
Arkadia is the name of a region of Greece in the center of the Peloponnesian Peninsula. It's a beautiful verdant region with rolling hills, mountains, gurgling streams, forests and idyllic farmland.
Id say their biggest show was I believe Download festival in the UK. They were supposed to play on one of the smaller stages, but ended up playing on the main stage in front of 50,000 people!
I like to think that the choreography at 08:20 is them smacking all the haters and doubters over the past 10 years
Babymetal's own shows have been mentioned. But Babymetal at festivals in Europe are bigger crowds, different festivals: 60 000, 80 000, 90 000, some say the biggest had 100 000 people, I think that last one was an exaggeration. After the Tokyo Dome show Kobametal and the girls said: Tokyo Dome (55 000) doesn't feel as big as we expected. :-) Well Babymetal are youngest female artist to perform at Budokan, the youngest person to ever perform at Budokan was: Michael Jackson part of the Jackson Five. :-) Babymetal's big sisters in Amuse are Perfume, they are one of the biggest artists in Japan. They rank as best well known persons in Japan for any idol group in Japan. Although Babymetal and Perfume are artists, with idol origin, they are now just artist in many people's opinion. Babymetal has played at The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, it's the same venue (Ed Sullivan Theater) as the Beatles performed when they first performed in the US (The Ed Sullivan Show). It was the first Babymetal appearance on US television. Babymetal keeps growing their fan base, but they are working for it. It's not Michael Jackson or Beatles fast, but they are working on it.
ありがとう！
I believe the drummer for this one was Anthony Barone. And nowadays their shows don't last much longer than an hour. And if I'm not wrong, they're the biggest selling Japanese musical export ever.
Yashhh babymetal mondayyyyy
Babymetal are back and are excited for the Kouhaku - December 31, and the 10 Gongs in the Babymetal Doomsday - starting January 19th th-cam.com/video/yi4ipfCjZtE/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/SrKFpeBZv9I/w-d-xo.html Kitsune will be revealing more. Also, Happy 23rd birthday Suzuka Nakamoto on 20 December
I love your BABYMETAL MONDAYS
OK
Their music always bring joy and good vibes. And those girls have a great work and big effort. Hands down for them.
Thanks for appreciating their music Smokey n Hollywood. Really I appreciate it .
Keep Kitsune Up 🤘🏿🦊🤘🏿
Stay safe and healthy guys 🙏
Not many channels do good, fun, enjoyable reactions like you guys, you always make a deep analysis of the videos you watch. Hope your channel keeps growing.
Arcadia live is pure Epicness!
Other reactors stop reacting with a few songs, but you guys still enjoy every Monday.
I would like to thank you as a Japanese.
110,000 over two nights some bands can dream of getting this
This might be my favorite now
Trilogy of light songs
Starlight
Shine
Arkadia
AND before.. distortion...
i really love this band
The thing is Michael Jackson was the absolute top star of the absolute leader market of world pop culture and sang in English. Those are three tiny girls from Japan and while Japan is known as the second largest music industry in the world, it's impossible to compare both contexts. But yeah, they deserve as much praise as MJ got all the same at the time for how young and how talented they are. Not judging by the crowds they gather.
But in terms of biggest crowds I guess it's 60k in music festivals (around that number) but as a solo-artist concert, obviously Tokyo Dome, with 55k people two nights in a row ;).
As for winding down, there's always things to react to even if it's not necessarily music related. Like interviews, compilations of funny moments, the unhelpful guide, all of the Sakura Gakuin songs and videos from 2010 to 2015 (and that's a big fat catalog of videos right there) ;).
Their solo shows are usually around 90 minutes. Some are longer and some shorter. It's insane how much work has to go in for the girls to be able to pull off what they do. I mean, just listen to Su in this video! Perfect vocals with all that choreo! People definitely cry during Babymetal shows. The girls (I think it was Su? idk) have talked about seeing fans crying in the crowd and how that's motivated them and made them realize the power in their music.
You should check out 'Shine' live. It's the song before this one in the album as some have explained here.
I cried at a BABYMETAL show
I think I will too when I finally get to see them.
I have cried just listening to them so I know when I see them live I will to. Babymetal for life
Especially during the Trilogy of Light song
ijime dame zettel , no rain no rainbow, the one. starlight they are all so beautiful songs Babymetal is amazing
I cried too, but i haven't been to either one of them.
Great fun reaction as always . BabyMetal have played in front of 65.000 or more at festivals in there tèens but at there shows as already mentioned Tokyo Dome 55.000 two sold out nights . They played to a sold out LA Forum 17.500 i belive last year . You have to remember BabyMetal are not mainstream . Michael Jackson was mainstream
Who got lots of airplay and mainstream recontion and awards
(Rightly so)
Even mainstream artists like Taylor Swift performs to large crowds .
So not getting same exposure BabyMetals achievements are even more impressive due to that in my opinion or am i just cynical. 🤘🦊🤘
Nice reaction. Their shows are a little over an hour or at most hour half. It goes by pretty fast as they do one song after another with no talking or interaction with the crowd, which usually happens during a song. As far as playing all their hits. Its rarely that they play songs that Yui was heavily involved, especially Black Banymetal.
Aloha from Hawaii!!!
Finally you react this song 🤘🦊🔥
Babymetal performed at Tokyo dome in 2016 two nights in a row 55,000 each night
It would be interesting to see your reaction to a show opening segment, in particular the opening to the Legend S concert.
omg i just watched that for the first time the other day and I was amazed
@@crypticmisery7996 fantastic isn't it
You would be very lucky to see Babymetal in a concert like this. They do two shows in a huge setting for video release and tour as opening acts or in smaller venues. Not that the concerts are not amazing but it is not anyway in this scale. I use Alice Cooper as a comparison as he can scale his shows to provide the visual on almost any scale. His shows run around two hours and have a wide set list depending on venue. Babymetal will do these shows and offer the videos then do tours in small venues with no tech. Check the length of the sets since they reduced the musical solos of the musicians. Vocal backing tracks and adjustments .. etc.. But ... I love them in concert and it all doesn't matter .. They are what they are and if they can pull in a younger crowd or wake up the older ones that have been sleeping it is all good. I hope they can age well and their music can grow with them.
"Night Night Burn!" for next Monday. If you guys though BABYMETAL couldn't do any more genres ;)
What are we getting to-daaaay?🤔Babymetal monday😍
You should do Kagerou or Da da dance next😁👏
Your reaction videos are so much fun to watch😁👍
I'm surprised they didn't react to da da dance yet!
Second that
@@Ezekku oh they will....they will😎😅
@@Ezekku I'm surprised they didn't react to Shine yet
i dont know why but i listening too this song i cryy soo bad😭such a beautiful
Su is still 22 for now. She was born on December 20, so she will turn 23 soon.
Their shows are only about an hour and fifteen minutes long. I've been to 20 shows, small venue shows and arena shows including Tokyo Dome and The Forum, and that's about the length of all their shows. Between 12 and 14 songs total each show. They ONLY do full songs. They've never done a melody and I've only seen cutdown versions of songs for Japanese television shows. As for choreography, not only do they have to remember all the Babymetal choreo but also the Sakura Gakuin choreography when they were in SG back in the day. Now THOSE Sakura Gakuin shows were 2 to 3 hours long. Talk about talent. Screw the haters who have NO idea what they're capable of. Su will be 23 this December 20th. I've cried at Babymetal concerts and when I saw them up close but I didn't faint. Lol. Suggestion for next Babymetal song: "Shine" to finish up the trilogy of lights. Arkadia,Shine, and Starlight.
Another great reaction, thanks!
"Arkadia" is on my top 3 and that's saying a lot! So glad you liked and enjoyed this one.
See you next time!
More babymetal reaction
Arkadia is a great song live. Along with Starlight & Shine (plus BxMxC), they’ve really cemented their place, in my top 10 list.
My favorite BABYMETAL song is Ijime,Dame,Zettai and Megitsune. My favorite song that Su,Moa and Yui are involved in is My Graduation Toss. You’re far down the foxhole now... take a look at what they were doing when BABYMETAL began. But if you do react to it, pick the live 2012 Sakura Gakuin My Graduation Toss.
Babymetal is on a whole other tier of awesome.
Y'all need to react to some live GWAR stuff.
Imagine Babymetal in 5 years at Super Bowl's halftime
The NFL isnt worthy of Babymetal...
Michael Jackson recorded Thriller when he was 24. Su is 22 and is not a pop singer . Metal music has always been underground. Babymetal has done a few Michael size shows.
There are 2 concerts that had the Moast crowds, Tokyo Dome for 2 nights, about 100,000 and Budikan for 2 nights Red Night Black Night about 270,000. to date
Your Budokan numbers are totally off.
BABYMETAL reported 10,000 people per night at Budokan, over two soldout nights.
Their biggest headlining shows were the two soldout nights at Tokyo Dome with 55,000 per night.
So I've been a BABYMETAL die-hard since 2014 and i'm from USA. Michael Jackson was my personal favorite artist when I was young and i don't think that's a coincidence. What you said is what i've been saying since i had that epiphany last year - it's just nice to finally hear it from someone else lol Both times I've seen BABYMETAL in person i can say that there were a few moments when my legs were unexplainably weak in the tidal wave of their presence and i'll leave it at that. I'd be willing to bet that Tokyo Dome was their largest concert at 55,000 but they probably could have sold it out 3X over. In the spirit of "triumphantness" check out their folk song "Meta Taro" about a metal hero!
Guys check out the the band Nanowar of Steel! Norweigan Reggaeton and Valhallelujah!
They do get breaks when the kamiband do their solos also su does solos where she doesn’t do much dancing and they use to have black Babymetal so they do get breaks. I thought the same as you until I saw a whole concert but remembering all the choreography I haven’t got a clue and yes that drummer is insane
I don't pay attention to the lyrics of most BabyMetal songs. But every time I listen to this song, I listen to the lyrics carefully because they are full of hope. Thank you for your reaction!
Highest attendance is 55k for each of the Tokyo Dome shows. Theyve played at festivals which probably had higher but aren't strictly a BM show.
My top 5 Babymetal songs :
1. The One
2. Tale Of Destinies
3. Arkadia
4. Shine
5. No Rain No Rainbow
I'd say the first Babymetal Album is them forming their sound, Metal Resistance was definitely them trying to pump it up to 11. And Metal Galaxy is definitely the maturity of Babymetal come to fruition. I wonder what the next album is gonna be
The time of the concerts that I have seen are almost always 1:30 maximum, they do not go beyond there. if they have moments of breaks when the Kami-band enters the solos and when they only sing SU or as previously Black Babymetal they had a set. Tokyo Dome was one of the biggest concerts and it was song after song it is impressive to see them live. someday I'll see them live is a goal
Some of my favorite Metal Galaxy songs that you haven't reacted to are "Night Night Burn!", personally because it represents my ethnicity (which I won't say yet cause I don't wanna spoil the song for you), and "Brand New Day", there's something about this song that helps me calm my anxiety, which I deeply appreciate 💕
Another great reaction. 👍🏼 I think yal will like Parkway Drive ‘Wild Eyes, Carrion, Sleepwalker, Siren Song, Wishing Wells’ just to name a few songs. Thank you guys for doing All these reactions 🤘🏼
Yeah BABYMETAL time 🦊🦊🦊
Shine next would be cool. Su in the future will be standing next to Moa at the Rock and Roll Hall of fame. Babymetal saved metal in general in Japan. considered uncool it was a genre that was fading away there. Still had fans but only in small groups. Then Babymetal comes along and all that changes. Just look at the other Japanese bands that have been recommended since you started Babymetal monday. I even feel that I've seen more metal reactions in general over the last few yrs. Go back 6 years on youtube and there's a whole lot less. This is the Babymetal effect. Because the hit so many genres folks from all genres now have once again crossed over to listen to something new. Babymetal a genre all to themselves. And its good
Their new drummer is insanely talented, in my opinion he's up there with Nicholas Barker.
