Hi ! Katriinka IM Always Watching All OF Your Video Can I Request? Can you Do A Reaction Video OF👉 CRAZY AS PINOY- " PANAGINIP" PERFORM LIVE ON WISH 107.5 Buss This Is Our Famous Old School Rap Love Song The Message OF Song Is About Love Song SubsCriber And Watching From PH Thank You
I'm so happy that Su is finally getting some recognition. I hope more people will recognize now what a talented singer she is and her beautiful voice. I have listened to this more than a dozen times now, and it made me cry every single time. There's something about her voice that goes right to my heart.
It is "Japanese voice". I know it sounds stupid, but it is the short answer to that, also because there are some anime songs I heard similar vocal/tone. People are built differently, so they also have different voices as well, so it is Japanese female singing, and sounds more special to us definitely in the West (if I need to guess).
There is something very theatrical about Suzuka's singing. She doesn't just sing, she tells a story with her intensity and inspirational tonalities to make it come across. Very seldom have I seen this done so well.
Her voice is like a drug that stimulates human emotions. There are many people around the world who are good at singing, but in the case of SU, the voice quality that was born with has already reached a different level!
If you're interested in Moa-Metal's voice look for the song Headbanger on galaxy tour for her 20th birthday. Su gave herr the Mic and she did the last part of the song and she doesn't disapoint at all.
Thank you for your reaction/analysis. As you said Su-metal has to fit a space and her being from Japan means she was brought up in an other tradition of singing. But she worked hard on what she does and she does it really well as you said.
This is what I really appreciate of Baby Metal. The band can play as hard as they want, rocking as loud as they want and Su will still sing without them having to change their style. It is the most amazing collaboration, then add the different styles of music that Su can do. Nothing else out there like it.
I don't like to rate artists once they reach a certain level, past that it becomes less about the talent and the skill and more about what they put in that is unique to themselves, and Su is certainly unique in what she creates. I love how you can see she is at her happiest when she is just free to let that voice fill whatever her surroundings are.
Hi Jonas, While I agree with you that she is among the best, there is actually another young lady who is around the same age whom I think might still beat Su in terms of vocal talent, and I don't say that lightly as in my mind Babymetal has changed my life. I am very grateful for Su and Babymetal. More so than the other singer I'm thinking of, but Morissette Amon, I would have to say might still be considered more talented at this point in time. That being said, Su IS catching up very quickly. Regardless though, I'd recommend checking out Morissette Amon. I think you'd like her. It's hard not to. I'd recommend checking out her rendition of Never Enough, I wanna know what love is, and Could You Be Messiah (this one is a tear jerker, much like Su's Akatsuki Unfinished).
Some comments on the original video have pointed out that other singers on that channel you often hear breathing. But not in this video. My guess is this says a lot about Su-metal and Moametal's breath control.
Not very many songs make me emotional, but I’m sitting in a machine shop with a bunch of blue collar southern men and I’m trying not to wallow up like a baby. I’m not crying, I just got some dust in my eye.
Not that I'm any kind of expert on the subject, but I'm firmly convinced that Suzuka Nakamoto is one of the most talented vocalists out there. Absolutely amazing, and this is such a beautiful version of _Monochrome._
Nakamoto-San sings with so much power. I was able to get right down in front for a show and when she was near the lip of the stage you could hear her over the PA, just crushing it. Powerhouse vocals.
"Special?" I'm a 58 year old bitter old fart, former death row prison guard, a veteran of 3 wars and a humanitarian mission with really skinny people with AK47s trying to shoot you, and I'm sitting here with tears rolling down my face even though I don't understand a single word she just sang. The girl just melted this heart of stone. So yeah, I'd call that special. It's as much the qualities of her voice as it is its quality.
Dude, I'm here with you and all for this. I've never cried over music before, and I'm almost 40 and have toured internationally as a roadie. But this song, it just gets me. There's something here that we've never seen before, and that doesn't exist anywhere else. I saw them for the 3rd time this week, and the energy at their shows is something that I hope to feel when it's finally my time. Saw them on a lark back in like 2017 because my friend begged me to, and I didn't think I'd give a shit after like 5 minutes, but it was immediately one of my favorite shows I'd ever seen. Insta-bought tickets to their subsequent shows in 2019 and 2023, and the friend I took to the show last week is going through the mindfuck I did, and I'm just happy to spread the Fox God's love. It's always good to know that I'm not the only lost old jaded white guy that found music again because of Babymetal, it's truly a special thing.
This song has amazing lyrics - Specifically because the main singer is from Hiroshima and a lot of the lyrics sound like they relate to the bomb. Here are some od my favourite parts in no particular order tho I highly recommend watching the original video with the lyrics as she sings them. That monochrome Firework, we will Imagine the night sky in rainbow colors The sky decorated in a spectrum of dreams I wanted to look at it forever Even the bright star that was shining yesterday The warmth I want to feel until tomorrow (You don’t have to say it, you don’t have to say it) Will vanish eventually During the dusk of Ragnarok What are we to see No matter how long the night The morning will arrive
Thanks from Japan 有難う💛。What I can say now is ... Thank you BABYMETAL. And thank you Koba for your serendipity. You certainly discovered something amazing and sacred for us 13 years ago.
Nice reaction. I personally love the way Su fills the vocal notes with emotion. One of the things Koba (their producer) got Moa in Babymetal was because of how compatible her voice is with Su. Who Babymetal was built around. The Sun had to come out. Su was singing Monochrome. The sun comes out at the end of the music video as well. Plus, for their last album Su was represented by the Sun and Moa was represented as the Moon. Long may Babymetal reign over their metal kingdom. The stage in front of a live audience. While their future looks bright. they have a legendary past as well. Babymetal have accomplished things that if it was in a movie, you say that can't happen. But as Su has said All things are possible through Babymetal. When you start off as a pop singer and by 15, you're on a metal world tour. You're going to believe it. Because you made it happen. All in all, Babymetal are still writing their living legend. This performance I hope will get them even more fans. I'm sure we can agree they deserve it.
Su is an absolute queen. Great reaction and analysis, this video has been on repeat since it got released. To bring a shade of hope to one of humanity's darkest moments, this is art at its finest.
Su's amazing voice aside, seriously, her voice is so awesome and I became a fan of babymetal because of her when I didn't really ever listen to metal, but every time you said her voice is gorgeous and beautiful, my mind just automatically answer with "No, you are," because you're so gorgeous and I was mesmerized as I watched your reaction. The clean makeup brought out your eyes so nicely. Anyway, Su's singing is incredibly skilled and you look really great!
I don't know the technicalities, but she's the only one who can sing live for an hour while dancing hard. Most dance groups have a low volume and unstable pitch during concerts.
Hi Coach! Thanks for reacting this video. The vibes and the tone of the studio was different from the usual “the first take”. Probably it was the darkest studio used for the first take channel.
Very nice reaction and analysis. What i love about Su-Metal's singing is that even through she's not the very best singer and still working on her technique, is that she focused more on conveying the message of the song rather than trying to show off her singing skill, every single words coming out is carefully pronounced, and her voice always filled with sincere emotion.
thank you so much! I agree! :) - technique and emotion go hand in hand. Having tons of emotion anad lacking technique is like paining with two colors in comparison to having an entire palette to paint with if your technique is right! :)
they're absolutely incredible! i've always loved listening to their 2018 performance of no rain no rainbow, amazing and su is a vocal inspiration for me
Welcome back to BabyMetal's metalverse 🦊🤘🌐 I think i remember your Karate reaction, i would have love to watch more reaction but i know the copyright blocked ninjas are annoying. If you want another unique ballad version try to reach Akatsuki Unfinished Version live at Legend 1997 held in 2013. Love this Piano version, last time we got a new version like this was "The One - Stairway To Living Legend", another beautiful ballad. Thanks for sharing your analysis, is really nice to hear reactors who actually know what they're talking about. See you next time.🦊🤘🌈
This new album has a mature sound, this is the only band that has diversified their whole discography, they work with the best musicians and songwriters in Nihon so it is not a surprise that they are one of the best metal bands. They already did a song with piano version "Akatsuki - Unifinished version" so yeah they are unique.
What a gorgeous performance! Those cloaked figures made me think of the Karate music video. I really appreciate how you draw our attention to particular aspects of the performance like Su metal's use of micro-dynamics. It helps me appreciate the music even more. 🤞for another First Take from BABYMETAL!
Hi Katriinka! It's such a joy to see Su-metal recognized by great professionals and coaches like yourself! We Babymetal fans have known for quite some time that Su is quite special, and one of a kind... By the way, on the weekend of April 1st and April 2nd, Babymetal will be announcing their new official third member during their two live performances in Yokohama, Japan. Stay tuned!
Since the official departure of the third member of the group, Yui Mizuno, in 2018, the band has only two members credited as vocals, Suzuka Nakamoto (Su-Metal) and Moa Kikushi (Moa Metal), the third member who dances with them on stage is only credited as a dancer and is not part of vocals (and apparently also does not give interviews).
Every time I hear Sumetal sing, I hear what Koba heard in her. I can understand why Kobametal put so much faith in her abilities. One specific thing I love about her singing is that she doesn't over use vabrato, in fact she hardly ever uses it. To many times singers over use it, and sometimes they ruin the song by using it to much. Sumetal uses it just the right amount, so I actually appreciate hearing it when does use it.
I love that Su uses vibrato so sparingly. It makes it so much more "important" when she does. In fact, the main problem I have with many other Japanese bands (e.g Wagakki Band), especially when the singers are female, is that they tend to use a very wide and fast vibrato, and often all throughout every single held note. I guess it's a reference to traditional Japanese music, but I find that very annoying. I prefer a less wide and slower vibrato, and it's so much more effective when it's added to a note that has already been held steadily for a while. Interestingly, the point where you mention that there's no vibrato (3:38), is where I hear a slight vibrato as the note fades out. Am I wrong? The only point where I miss a little vibrato in this song is at the very end (waratte).
Wagakki band indeed references to traditional japanese singing. However, most other bands don't, but still have a particular way of doing vibrato. I think it's because japan provides good oppurtunity for musicians to practice from a young age and even the singers are well trained (in the usa or europe they often find their style first and they only take lessons after they discovered their talent). In addition to that, japan's educational system is highly regulated adn uniformized(is this a word?), so I imagine that vocal trainers are teching the same tehcnique to everyone, as they have been taught the same way.
You say towards the beginning that you've never got the really enjoy the other girl voices, you should check out the headbanger performance for Moa's 20th birthday!!!
I've heard of them a bit, but only on the "Babymetal isn't Metal" type of discourse of sort 😅, though Idk them but I think they're awesome regardless!! 🤩
Hi Katriinka! Nice to FINALLY see you reacting to Babymetal again! You mentioned you'd like to hear Moa sing more and see how her vocals are. May I recommend what is commonly called Moabanger then? It is the song Headbanger...which I THINK I remember you reacting to, but Moa at one point in the song takes over. It is pretty cool to witness. You'll discover Moa also have vocal chops as well. Anyhow, great reaction! I'm looking forward to the next first take as well. I have a feeling it'll be Light and Darkness. To me that song would be the easiest to convert to a piano solo type of song. I could be wrong though!! lol
Very very beautiful. It's hard not to remember the three girls together. It's a little sad. I hope one day they can come back with the original lineup (Su, Yui and Moa). 🦊🦊🦊
Usually don't like reactors, found them kinda obnoxious for making simple content on top of people who really worked hard on their creators...But the ones like you are a great exception. Actual professionals giving great technical commentary on works like this is very interesting. Is a reaction that really add information instead of a person just, well, doing the same thing the viewers themselves are doing. Great work. Also Su is just amazing, easily one of the best singers on the planet
Las 3 niñas de blanco son las ex sakura gakuin y no olvidemos que babymetal comenzó siendo un sub grupo de sakura gakuin de Japón y saludos desde Lima Perú
Si te referís al trío espejo de BM que se presentó en vivo en los últimos conciertos, sólo dos de ellas son ex miembros de SG, la otra pertenece a Amuse pero nunca estuvo en SG.🦊🤘
I have watched many many coaching vids of this version of Monochrome. the one term I keep hearing describing Su-metal's voice is "laser Like" or "A LAser beam"
I will say Moa and Yui used to have duo songs without Su, but when Yui got sick and left Babymetal. Their set list changed, so the Moa and Yui duo songs aren’t performed anymore in the sets I think.
Look I’m biased, but I’ve listened to this so many times in the last day. I thought I had gotten over shedding tears. Now I watch you and I’m once again crying like a baby. Perhaps a 60 year old baby. I have no words to describe Su’s vocal talent, or delivery. I also need to shed light on the most humble, supportive and charismatic person alive; Moametal. Blessing upon all of them.
If you want to hear Moa's voice spotlighted, search for "Moabanger" - a birthday performance where Su hands over the microphone part of the way through "Headbanger!". Moa ditches the little girl backing vocal sound and really takes the song home. And then there's Momo, the band's new third member. She is a very different element to the band and adds something offbeat and quirky to the line-up.

I'm so happy that Su is finally getting some recognition. I hope more people will recognize now what a talented singer she is and her beautiful voice. I have listened to this more than a dozen times now, and it made me cry every single time. There's something about her voice that goes right to my heart.
She is! She also has so much experience behind her vocals too - singing in huge stadiums and carrying vocally the entire concert is insanely hard! :)
@@Katriinka I agree, the stamina these girls have not only to perform these shows but to have done it almost without a break for such a long time
It is "Japanese voice". I know it sounds stupid, but it is the short answer to that, also because there are some anime songs I heard similar vocal/tone. People are built differently, so they also have different voices as well, so it is Japanese female singing, and sounds more special to us definitely in the West (if I need to guess).
@@Chibanah That’s certainly part of it, but there are many Japanese voices that don’t touch me, so there‘s got to be more to it.
She's an amazing singer and performer!
There is something very theatrical about Suzuka's singing. She doesn't just sing, she tells a story with her intensity and inspirational tonalities to make it come across. Very seldom have I seen this done so well.
I swear Su-Metal's voice makes me tear up with joyous goosebumps every time
Her voice is like a drug that stimulates human emotions. There are many people around the world who are good at singing, but in the case of SU, the voice quality that was born with has already reached a different level!
We need more Babymetal like this,I mean they're great at full speed,but they're even better unplugged!😍😍😍
And then I remember she hums in one section of this song during the live concert and it was beautiful.
If you're interested in Moa-Metal's voice look for the song Headbanger on galaxy tour for her 20th birthday. Su gave herr the Mic and she did the last part of the song and she doesn't disapoint at all.
Can we give an award to Koba for making Babymetal happen? Our lives would have been very different.
The opinion of experts is very informative. I was able to learn a lot this time as well. Thank you.😀😀
thank you so much! :)
Thank you for your reaction/analysis.
As you said Su-metal has to fit a space and her being from Japan means she was brought up in an other tradition of singing.
But she worked hard on what she does and she does it really well as you said.
This is what I really appreciate of Baby Metal. The band can play as hard as they want, rocking as loud as they want and Su will still sing without them having to change their style. It is the most amazing collaboration, then add the different styles of music that Su can do. Nothing else out there like it.
This song cemented my believes in Su being the absolute best vocalist as of now. She is unmatched in talent.
Facts
Not the best but she is one of the best of our generation.
I don't like to rate artists once they reach a certain level, past that it becomes less about the talent and the skill and more about what they put in that is unique to themselves, and Su is certainly unique in what she creates. I love how you can see she is at her happiest when she is just free to let that voice fill whatever her surroundings are.
Su is amazing She is one of the best. But there are many out there too and in different genres .Even many undiscovered.
Hi Jonas, While I agree with you that she is among the best, there is actually another young lady who is around the same age whom I think might still beat Su in terms of vocal talent, and I don't say that lightly as in my mind Babymetal has changed my life. I am very grateful for Su and Babymetal. More so than the other singer I'm thinking of, but Morissette Amon, I would have to say might still be considered more talented at this point in time.

I'd recommend checking out her rendition of Never Enough, I wanna know what love is, and Could You Be Messiah (this one is a tear jerker, much like Su's Akatsuki Unfinished).
Lovely reaction and analysis, and here's hoping they did a second song.🤞
Su has a quality of great singers of the past in the sense that when she sings, her voice almost compresses it self, makes recording and mixing easy.
Some comments on the original video have pointed out that other singers on that channel you often hear breathing. But not in this video.
My guess is this says a lot about Su-metal and Moametal's breath control.
🍅💀🍅

" Just smile " x 100 !
I am happy to have 3 versions of an amazing song !
凄い歌！🍅
Not very many songs make me emotional, but I’m sitting in a machine shop with a bunch of blue collar southern men and I’m trying not to wallow up like a baby.

This song has amazing lyrics - Specifically because the main singer is from Hiroshima and a lot of the lyrics sound like they relate to the bomb. Here are some od my favourite parts in no particular order tho I highly recommend watching the original video with the lyrics as she sings them.
That monochrome
Firework, we will
Imagine the night sky in rainbow colors
The sky decorated in a spectrum of dreams
I wanted to look at it forever
Even the bright star that was shining yesterday
The warmth I want to feel until tomorrow
(You don’t have to say it, you don’t have to say it)
Will vanish eventually
During the dusk of Ragnarok
What are we to see
No matter how long the night
The morning will arrive
In fact this song is about the painting of the sky with the dropping of the bomb on Hiroshima. A very deep message.
Thanks from Japan 有難う💛。What I can say now is ... Thank you BABYMETAL. And thank you Koba for your serendipity. You certainly discovered something amazing and sacred for us 13 years ago.

I was waiting for the analysis that know both what Babymetal and The First Take are and this is!!
Su is an absolute queen. Great reaction and analysis, this video has been on repeat since it got released. To bring a shade of hope to one of humanity's darkest moments, this is art at its finest.

I'm a fan of baby metal since 2013 ♡ they both get better and better everytime I hear them singing ❤
This Just made me Tear Up of how Amazing they are😭😍
I don't know the technicalities, but she's the only one who can sing live for an hour while dancing hard.
Most dance groups have a low volume and unstable pitch during concerts.
They appeared on The First Take again with their new member who I’ve heard is being called MomoMetal
That is high praise from you , especially as it comes from someone who knows what they are talking about 😁🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
Hello from Japan. You are my perfect advocate! Thank you so much!!
Every syllable is crisp and clear
On this show, The First Take, the singer usually sings two songs. I don't know what Babymetal will sing next, but please look forward to it.
It was like I was being sung a lullaby by a queen. Vulnerable and strong at the same time
A strong and warm embrace is how I see it.
There is only one rule here. " To perform a one-shot performance‼︎” the failure will also be delivered as it is.
I was just announced that the back to three members. Momoko Okazaki has joined as a full time member.
Hi Coach! Thanks for reacting this video. The vibes and the tone of the studio was different from the usual “the first take”. Probably it was the darkest studio used for the first take channel.
Very nice reaction and analysis. What i love about Su-Metal's singing is that even through she's not the very best singer and still working on her technique, is that she focused more on conveying the message of the song rather than trying to show off her singing skill, every single words coming out is carefully pronounced, and her voice always filled with sincere emotion.
thank you so much! I agree! :) - technique and emotion go hand in hand. Having tons of emotion anad lacking technique is like paining with two colors in comparison to having an entire palette to paint with if your technique is right! :)
are you deaf? She sings great
@@hotmail305 think they were saying she isnt even at her peak performance yet
SUは既に幼い頃から長年歌ってきた。しかもここ10年はいつも数万人の大観衆の前で、しかも大音響の演奏の中で歌ってきてるのに、彼女の歌声は生まれたばかりのような純真さに驚かされる。
🤘🦊🤘I always enjoy and learn from your reactions and analysis! Thank you!
thank you for watching :)
they're absolutely incredible! i've always loved listening to their 2018 performance of no rain no rainbow, amazing and su is a vocal inspiration for me
Welcome back to BabyMetal's metalverse 🦊🤘🌐
I think i remember your Karate reaction, i would have love to watch more reaction but i know the copyright blocked ninjas are annoying. If you want another unique ballad version try to reach Akatsuki Unfinished Version live at Legend 1997 held in 2013.
Love this Piano version, last time we got a new version like this was "The One - Stairway To Living Legend", another beautiful ballad.
Thanks for sharing your analysis, is really nice to hear reactors who actually know what they're talking about. See you next time.🦊🤘🌈
thank you so much :) I will check them out!
For "Akatsuki unfinished" I would highly recommend the 90% less blue edit done by Buttons-Metal. One can see what is going on so much better.
Chills and goosebumps inducing
U should listen to headbanger moametal version if you want to hear more of her singing😃
All hail the queen and the angel of love 🤗❤🤘🦊🤘
ありがとう😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🇯🇵
This new album has a mature sound, this is the only band that has diversified their whole discography, they work with the best musicians and songwriters in Nihon so it is not a surprise that they are one of the best metal bands.

Su crushed this performance. What all of us have known for so long, now many more do.
Listening to Su-metal sing a song is like watching a drama.

I really appreciate how you draw our attention to particular aspects of the performance like Su metal's use of micro-dynamics.

By the way, on the weekend of April 1st and April 2nd, Babymetal will be announcing their new official third member during their two live performances in Yokohama, Japan. Stay tuned!
How many times has this voice made me cry?
Watched many Baby Metal videos, no idea what they're called. Cool, cool.
Babymetal was created for Su.
Since the official departure of the third member of the group, Yui Mizuno, in 2018, the band has only two members credited as vocals, Suzuka Nakamoto (Su-Metal) and Moa Kikushi (Moa Metal), the third member who dances with them on stage is only credited as a dancer and is not part of vocals (and apparently also does not give interviews).
Every time I hear Sumetal sing, I hear what Koba heard in her. I can understand why Kobametal put so much faith in her abilities. One specific thing I love about her singing is that she doesn't over use vabrato, in fact she hardly ever uses it. To many times singers over use it, and sometimes they ruin the song by using it to much. Sumetal uses it just the right amount, so I actually appreciate hearing it when does use it.
The queen voice is stunning
I love that Su uses vibrato so sparingly. It makes it so much more "important" when she does. In fact, the main problem I have with many other Japanese bands (e.g Wagakki Band), especially when the singers are female, is that they tend to use a very wide and fast vibrato, and often all throughout every single held note. I guess it's a reference to traditional Japanese music, but I find that very annoying. I prefer a less wide and slower vibrato, and it's so much more effective when it's added to a note that has already been held steadily for a while.
Interestingly, the point where you mention that there's no vibrato (3:38), is where I hear a slight vibrato as the note fades out. Am I wrong?
The only point where I miss a little vibrato in this song is at the very end (waratte).
Wagakki band indeed references to traditional japanese singing. However, most other bands don't, but still have a particular way of doing vibrato. I think it's because japan provides good oppurtunity for musicians to practice from a young age and even the singers are well trained (in the usa or europe they often find their style first and they only take lessons after they discovered their talent). In addition to that, japan's educational system is highly regulated adn uniformized(is this a word?), so I imagine that vocal trainers are teching the same tehcnique to everyone, as they have been taught the same way.
You say towards the beginning that you've never got the really enjoy the other girl voices, you should check out the headbanger performance for Moa's 20th birthday!!!
Best video to hear Moa live is Headbanger (Moa-Metal version), Budokan 2021. 🤘🦊
Thank you so much for the breakdown. Very insightful.
One of the girls left years ago, now is Moa and Su which are the two in the video. They have angel voices ❤
the piano almost took a studio ghibli turn and I am here for it
技術的な歌い方からもこの曲の歌詞が読み取れるんですね 素晴らしいです
thank you for sharing
The other girl gets a solo bit in headbanger, which is pretty sick.
Piercing. Exceptional journey. Just wanna repeat that. Thank you, to you, and Babymetal.
Everyone. Check out MoaMetal taking the lead vocals on "HeadBanger"
It's amazing. She turned 20 ("hatachi") around then I think 🎉🎉 Epic
Oh, if you wanna listen more Moa solo, look for MoaBanger (Headbanger Moa Version)
I've heard of them a bit, but only on the "Babymetal isn't Metal" type of discourse of sort 😅, though Idk them but I think they're awesome regardless!! 🤩
Metal Kingdom would fit The First Take but I'm think a piano version of Karate that could be awesome
they are now three once again Okazaki Momoko is now officially known as Momometal
Vocal coach reaction vs Baby Metal World Domination. If only they'd met you earlier, they might have been successful. Lol.
They are officially a three piece group again, Momoko became the third permanent member recently.
いちばん嬉しいリアクション ありがとうございます
Now we know wich Singers we want for Frozen 3 :D
Just beautiful
🤘🤘🤘
Thank you 🤘🦊
I think you should react on DIMASH D8 performance in Gakku
I love to watch her performance when she was 9 to 11. I think she is a natural born singer. Those records are still available on youtube.
🎧🎶🎙️🎵 WOW
Hi Katriinka! Nice to FINALLY see you reacting to Babymetal again! You mentioned you'd like to hear Moa sing more and see how her vocals are. May I recommend what is commonly called Moabanger then? It is the song Headbanger...which I THINK I remember you reacting to, but Moa at one point in the song takes over. It is pretty cool to witness. You'll discover Moa also have vocal chops as well. Anyhow, great reaction! I'm looking forward to the next first take as well. I have a feeling it'll be Light and Darkness. To me that song would be the easiest to convert to a piano solo type of song. I could be wrong though!! lol
Very very beautiful. It's hard not to remember the three girls together. It's a little sad. I hope one day they can come back with the original lineup (Su, Yui and Moa). 🦊🦊🦊
Wait, and see . . . what happened on Fox Day !
You won’t get that, but I believe it will soon be back to the triumvirate.
Usually don't like reactors, found them kinda obnoxious for making simple content on top of people who really worked hard on their creators...But the ones like you are a great exception. Actual professionals giving great technical commentary on works like this is very interesting. Is a reaction that really add information instead of a person just, well, doing the same thing the viewers themselves are doing. Great work.
Also Su is just amazing, easily one of the best singers on the planet
Las 3 niñas de blanco son las ex sakura gakuin y no olvidemos que babymetal comenzó siendo un sub grupo de sakura gakuin de Japón y saludos desde Lima Perú
Si te referís al trío espejo de BM que se presentó en vivo en los últimos conciertos, sólo dos de ellas son ex miembros de SG, la otra pertenece a Amuse pero nunca estuvo en SG.🦊🤘
It sounds like a disney song . I love it but that's what it reminds me of
世界に認められても日本では話題にならない現状が残念でならない。日本の閉鎖的な音楽環境は棄てる時代かもね。
それだけ日本はガラパゴスなんだよ。世界に向けて何も勉強してない。
メタルってそういうものだと思いますよ。海外も同様です。
personally I prefer clean belts. I can't recall Su using vibrato. She is and always has been an exceptional singer.
I have watched many many coaching vids of this version of Monochrome. the one term I keep hearing describing Su-metal's voice is "laser Like" or "A LAser beam"
👍 👍
Welcome back and well done.
I always enjoyed your synopsis of BabyMetal performances and hope to hear more.
I can suggest You another Japanise all female band: Lovebites. The first could be Edge of the World always live! Thanks.
I will say Moa and Yui used to have duo songs without Su, but when Yui got sick and left Babymetal. Their set list changed, so the Moa and Yui duo songs aren’t performed anymore in the sets I think.
Look I’m biased, but I’ve listened to this so many times in the last day. I thought I had gotten over shedding tears. Now I watch you and I’m once again crying like a baby. Perhaps a 60 year old baby. I have no words to describe Su’s vocal talent, or delivery. I also need to shed light on the most humble, supportive and charismatic person alive; Moametal. Blessing upon all of them.
If you want to hear Moa's voice spotlighted, search for "Moabanger" - a birthday performance where Su hands over the microphone part of the way through "Headbanger!". Moa ditches the little girl backing vocal sound and really takes the song home.
And then there's Momo, the band's new third member. She is a very different element to the band and adds something offbeat and quirky to the line-up.
thank you for this update ❤ i hope you could react to Mika Nakashima - Boku Ga Shinou To Omotta No Wa performance on the first take, it's beautiful
