Thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 This video is from Makuhari shows on Jan.28 /29. I witnessed both shows at the venue. You saw one octagonal movable / elevatable stage but actually there were two identical stages for more surprising production. Several drones with camera were flying around all over the venue. Once this opening song by Su and Moa got started, I had goosebumps all over my body. The show was held after the almost 2-year long hiatus after all. Seriously many of audience were moved to tears and/or dropped their jaws when the gigantic fox wall opened and the thrones came out. Yeah! I chanted all through the song. ♪ Oh oh oh o o o ♪. What a happy experience!! The Kami band was playing on the east stage that was not captured in this video. After this grave opening, 3 girls performed 12 songs with Momoko Avenger. Did you see 3 (not 2) thrones at 03:50 in your video? Yeah, BM will change. The official 3rd girl is going to be unveiled in the next shows in Yokohama on April 1/2. Yes, at last ✌
If I had to choose a fovourite BABYMETAL song I would always say From Dusk Till Dawn because the vocals woke my emotions and made my eyes tear up. But Metal Kingdom has moved into my heart. The opening vocals of angelic Su pierce my soul and then Moa joins in and my soul has risen to heaven. This is a perfect opener for the new album and I am anxious if not a bit scared to listen to it when it releases. How epic will the unknown tracks be, when the 3 tracks we have heard are so amazing? 🤘🦊🤘
@@JoJoLewis It's only been performed live a few times, once at the Palladium in LA in 2017 and twice at the Budokan in 2021. Budokan is the only performance we have proshot footage of: th-cam.com/video/DyDm5gpoDf0/w-d-xo.html. It's amazing. There are fancams of the Palladium performance floating around.
Welcome back and great reaction. 'Metal Kingdom' is the opening track on the album (that will be released on 24th March) - so of course they used it for the epic theatrical opening number at their concerts two weeks ago - their first live shows in nearly 2 years. This was the live performance but with the studio audio - the video was released less than a week after the concerts they filmed it at, so it is understandable why it has the studio audio. We will have to wait for the DVD for the live audio. The way the stage was set up - there was an east stage where the Kami Band were and a west stage where Su started here sitting on her throne (there were 3 thrones). Joining the east and west stages was that huge walkway with the audience either side ... two front rows and both of them really long - so many people could benefit ... and on that was the moving stage which travelled along the walkway and also rose up and down. I understand Su, Moa and Momoko spent most of their time on the moving stage. They ended the second night with a teaser for what seems to be a new permanent member ... possibly Momoko but we don't know yet..
@@JoJoLewis Yep - they sold out the Makuhari Messe two nights running (25k people each night I think) in a matter of minutes the weekend before last. This was the opening number.
Welcome back to the Foxhole and BabyMetal's metalverse 🦊🤘🌐 Is always nice to see old BM fans and reactors coming back to hear more of them, this time returning with a more mature sound and a new BM side we've never seen before. This is why BabyMetal have no match among any other Japanese artists, top notch worldwide. Many others are finding Game Of Thrones resemblance on this stage setup, it looks insane. The ten prophets are holding crosiers with "The Other One" logo which is similar to the infinite symbol OO and is the title of upcoming 4th album. The girls are carrying some kind of trident similar to the Spear Of Destiny, if you know MoaMetal you know you got be careful with her. 🔱 Here's some official info about this song: METAL KINGDOM (THRONE) _It is a powerful anthem ushering in the beginning of a new era while also representing the power and courage to step forward into uncharted territory. The track conveys imagery of one rising powerfully from the throne of silence, with a suitable fanfare announcing this new beginning._ At the end of January at Makuhari Messe they held two great live shows returning to the stage after almost two years. and by far they meet up my expectations with this epic live performance and top notch production. SuMetal and MoaMetal showing why they're a queen and princess deserving their thrones. The cinematic drone shots are just insane. We were expecting this live proshot version but we'll have to wait next month for live sound. We got so many big news and announcements, a new official member is coming (most likely Momoko Okazaki, the one who has been performing with them all these years and latest live concerts) next live shows in April 1 (Fox Day) when returning once again with another headlining shows at PIA ARENA MM Yokohama. Also they performed with a new BM mirror unit coming from another world of this metalverse, so we're guessing maybe some of the older kawaii metal songs they don't play anymore will be back with this new unit, so stay tuned for more but like always OTFGK. You can find the official lyrics pinned in the comments but here's the lyrics translated for you in my next reply. Thanks for sharing this and don't forget to put your kitsune up!🦊🤘👑
*METAL KINGDOM* lyrics: LYRICIST: Kitsune of Metal God ARRANGER: TatsuoMetal [Verse 1: Sumetal] We’re going through the passing times This world is crumbling We live while wandering A heart lost in darkness Hold me tight until dawn In that bright place Aim for tomorrow [Pre-Chorus: Moametal & Sumetal] Raise your hands to the lord Raise your voice to the world Raise your flag.

[Chorus: Sumetal] Stand up KINGDOM Unleash your FREEDOM Endless journey Endless dream Wake up KINGDOM Get it, FREEDOM Prove it Burn your life Believe in miracles [Verse 2: Sumetal] It’s the beginning song Deliver our voice Resonate, our voices Open up a new era Let it ring, it’s our voice Play it, our singing voice [Chorus: Sumetal] The sword of pledge Raise it up for tomorrow The unknown path Create it with those hands Stand up KINGDOM Unleash your FREEDOM Endless journey Endless dream Wake up KINGDOM Get it, FREEDOM It’s dawn, bathing in the light Cut through the darkness
Thanks! Did you ever get to "Ijime Dame Zettai " in sonosphere? And others that are worth checking out, "Pa Pa Ya", "Megitsune", "iine", "the triology of lights (starlight, shane, arkadia)", etc...
they have a new song called "metali" featuring tom morello from rage against the machine. it seems you haven't done any babymetal reactions in a few months. time to dive back down the foxhole! they're touring the next couple of months in the u.s., and the uk after that so now is your chance to see them live!
I genuinely believe this is one of the best BABYMETAL if not Metal songs I’ve heard in a long time!
I swear, Su's voice is like a DragonBall character; it's like "fool! This isn't even my final form!" It just keeps surprising me.

*METAL KINGDOM* lyrics:
LYRICIST: Kitsune of Metal God
ARRANGER: TatsuoMetal
[Verse 1: Sumetal]
We’re going through the passing times
This world is crumbling
We live while wandering
A heart lost in darkness
Hold me tight until dawn
In that bright place
Aim for tomorrow
[Pre-Chorus: Moametal & Sumetal]
Raise your hands to the lord
Raise your voice to the world
Raise your flag. Let’s be together...
[Chorus: Sumetal]
Stand up KINGDOM
Unleash your FREEDOM
Endless journey. Endless dream
Wake up KINGDOM
Get it, FREEDOM
Raise the signal, go on without hesitation
Trust your friend
[Bridge: Sumetal]
Negative words
I don’t need a way back
In that bright place
Let’s live tomorrow
[Pre-Chorus: Moametal & Sumetal]
Raise your head to the lord.
Raise your sword to the sky
Raise your fists. Let’s be together...
[Chorus: Sumetal]
Stand up KINGDOM
Unleash your FREEDOM
Endless journey
Endless dream
Wake up KINGDOM
Get it, FREEDOM
Prove it Burn your life
Believe in miracles
[Verse 2: Sumetal]
It’s the beginning song
Deliver our voice
Resonate, our voices
Open up a new era
Let it ring, it’s our voice
Play it, our singing voice
[Chorus: Sumetal]
The sword of pledge
Raise it up for tomorrow
The unknown path
Create it with those hands
Stand up KINGDOM
Unleash your FREEDOM
Endless journey Endless dream
Wake up KINGDOM
Get it, FREEDOM
It’s dawn, bathing in the light
Cut through the darkness
It's been 84 years....
Its been Far too long buuuuuuut I heard BABYMETAL dropping new music so it Might be Time for a fox god takeover of the channel ???????
@@JoJoLewis
Here's my *Vote🗳* 🤘🏻
They released 2 new songs prior to this one. *"Monochrome" & "Divine Attack"* respectively.
The voice is so clean and mesmerizing
Its honestly amazing
@@JoJoLewis Its absolutely fantastic. Part why I started listening to Babymetal
Thanks! Did you ever get to "Ijime Dame Zettai " in sonosphere?
And others that are worth checking out, "Pa Pa Ya", "Megitsune", "iine", "the triology of lights (starlight, shane, arkadia)", etc...
SISSY !!!
I was there for the shows where this was filmed, and it doesn't do justice to how spectacular it was. Babymetal live in Japan hits like nothing else.
Welcome back JoJo! Glad you enjoyed!
Thank you! I’m glad to be back!
"This is a new era of Babymetal" is what I've been telling everyone. Even people that have never heard the name. lolol
May of missed it but did you know they and BMTH have a collaboration called Kingslayer ?? Ignor this if you do ;)
they have a new song called "metali" featuring tom morello from rage against the machine. it seems you haven't done any babymetal reactions in a few months. time to dive back down the foxhole! they're touring the next couple of months in the u.s., and the uk after that so now is your chance to see them live!
