This was WILD! I hope you enjoyed and let me know what you want to see next!
Did you read/find out the translation of the Japanese intro in the beginning?
@@crimson0119 I didnt know that was gonna happen before I reacted to it so i couldnt but I did have a look after I recorded the video!
You HAVE to experience Kai Hahto in Wintersun! The hole band is awesome.
Greetings from Denmark 🤗🤗🇩🇰❤️
I love your reactions!!! Check out another Japanese Band: Maximum the Hormone, going to blow your mind!!!
Good reaction. this song has 3 important points in this particular concert:
1.- It was Su's sixteenth birthday ... and who has not ever dreamed that your friends celebrate it by crucifying you in front of 9000 metalheads screaming death at the top of their lungs with the hardest heavy metal?
2.- This concert served as a break between Sakura Gakuin and Babymetal, becoming a metal band of its own, since SuMetal had to leave Sakura when he turned 15.
3.- In Babymetal mythology this ceremony represents the sacrifice of Su's humanity to become a metal goddess at the service of the Fox God.
im sorry i didnt finish reading your comment yet but that first point realized how fucking metal they are for that
Remember this concert was in Japan and the Japanese do not attach the same significance to Christian iconography as someone raised in a Christian culture.
"Babymetal Death" is usually how Babymetal introduce themselves at the start of a concert, but here it is used as a big, insane, messianic, pun finale. Their intro at "Legend 1997" was Ave Maria and a dub step version of Headbanger...no seriously. In this finale there are also a couple of Metallica homages in the statue and the music and of course X-Japan with the neck brace. This performance is best understood in the context of the manic excitement of Headbanger and the emotion of Unfinished Akatsuki that came before it in the concert and if you listen to all three songs together you'll get the complete operatic scope of Su-metal leaving childhood behind, embracing sacrifice and finally being reborn as a metal goddess. Also the DNA helix in the intro to this is also seen on Su's stick mic in Headbanger... Yes it's all very silly, but just go with it. #notacult.
The use of the Christian crucifixion iconography and the statue of Su as Mary juxtaposes death, birth and rebirth. This is echoed in the chant at the beginning; "Death, Death, Death.. , Su-Metal desu"...etc. The "desu" sounds like "death" to Western ears, but in Japanese it means "to be" - so the words are " Death, Death, Death... I am Su-metal, I am Yuimetal, I am Moametal, We are Babymetal". While this initially seems to be all about death it's also an affirmation of existence and being. Death and life/rebirth exist together just as in the crucifixion. Did I mention #notacult?
That is amazing! This was actually so fun to read and it really helped me understand a lot! Oh by the way I forgot to mention #notacult
Just a quick thank you to you for delivering the good lore and backstory to newer reactors when it comes to Babymetal.
We all want new potential fans of Babymetal to start out on the right foot so to speak, and you are truly helping with that.
This not only helps the new reactors, but also the rest of The One and the girls themselves.
So from one massive fan to another: thank you for your tireless work and put your Kitsunes up!! 🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻
@@Hgoenge81 Thanks, but Babymetal related posting is never really work. I try to react to specific reactors questions and observations, but there's a lot of cutting and pasting too.
@@cuttysark8017 I know it's more a labour of love. Still very much appreciated though. 🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻
As I understand it the Christian-like iconography also comes from the Neon Genesis Evangelion anime.
You have to see this song live to really understand it's impact. It's normally used as an opening song. My first Babymetal concert, they were opening for the RHCP. There were 13,000 RHCP fans in the audience talking with each other, the lights go down, the voice over starts, RHCP fans keep talking to each other, the voices of 13,000 creating a constant drone throughout the arena, even over the sound of the voice over. Then... DA-DA-DA-DA, DA-DA-DA-DA.... the opening salvo of BMD at 120 decibels explodes. slamming into you as the girls march out onto the stage. It's a physical sonic assault. You can literally feel your face melting and your ear drums screaming for help. The audience, previously disinterested waiting on the RHCP to take the stage, shut up as one, everyone turning to the stage. The ultimate, "Here we are!" attention getter., basically a slap upside the face telling them "shut the hell up and pay attention." There are fancams of the moment from RHCP fans. I specifically recall one, you can hear the guys talking with each other as the voice over starts, with one saying to the other, "Do you know who these guys are," to which the other replies, "No clue", followed immediately by DA-DA-DA-DA, to which the dude holding the camera quite clearly says, almost involuntarily, "Holy Shit." Which is the exact thought I had. I don't know what I was expecting, but I did not expect "this". It was loud. it was brutal. The exact thought that went through my head was "This shit is for real!".
I'd love to see that - do you have the link by any chance?
@@Woelflein seconded two years later
Don't worry, it's just symbolism, Su being crucified and being reborn as a Metal Queen. Also...

Godess
I have enjoyed your reaction in which you instantly got into it. Of course they are not cult, haha. As others have mentioned, the Japanese like to use Christian items as a means of staging. And "BABYMETAL Death" is just a pun that means "ベビーメタルです。(BABYMETAL desu. we are BABYMETAL.)" in Japanese, and they have done just introducing themselves (but in this show, was the end song). But at first, I also didn't realize that such a heavy and dark vibes song was just a pun that made fun of people like that, haha. And Moa has once said, this is a song as a opening one in their shows, but she gets pretty tired because she must jump many times even though from the first song. Kami Band member, Ohmura, I am not sure to remember but, also once said, it is a pretty hard song because he must repeat the hard riffs many times and play difficult solos. Thank you from Japan.
I won't explain too many things since you are going to watch the guide, and most of the meanings and puns will be explained there :D
They didn't get in trouble because christianity isn't big in japan, so nobody would use western iconography to be blasphemous, because it wouldn't make sense since it wouldn't offend enough people! This was used as a meaning of sacrifice and rebirth, as explained in the introductory video :)
They even crucified her multiple times 🤣🤣
Now you get why we wanted you to react to this before the guide? since they will explain all this part, you would have lost your chance to experience SU's crucifixation 🤭🤭🤭
And let's not forget: #notacult #definitelynotacult #justaschoolclub
And if anyone tells you that BabyMetal isn't metal, just show him this performance 😂😂
This is honestly the most metal thing I have ever seen! I am so grateful that y’all suggested I watch this. It honestly blew me away! I am so so so excited to get to the guide!!!! #notacult
Epic reaction! It's just a little 16th birthday fun! No worries, lol! Kitsune up! 🤘🦊🤘 #notacult
I wish my 16th birthday was this cool hahaha. #notacult

😎👌🏼maybe
That was one of the most insane Live performances ever.
What did you do for your birthday? Well, I had a party, with presents and a cake....what about you Su?....Oh nothing much, I was crucified in front of 20000 people as they all chanted "DEATH DEATH DEATH" and they blew the head off a statue :). Loving your reactions man, you are deep down the BabyMetal foxhole now :)
I am so glad you are enjoying them!!!! I hope I can keep making videos you enjoy!
It was about 9000 people I believe. Obviously the rest still stands
@@autohmae does it really matter?
@@labpedro Some are happy to know, some don't care.
JESUS CHRIST! IT DOESN'T STOP!! 😂😂 Love this reaction dude!🤘🏻🤘🏻 #notacult
Great reaction - oh and #notacult You already have all the explanations and translations I would have given, so that's saved my fingers and keyboard a bit of wear.
Looking forward to your reaction to the guide now. 🤘🦊🤘
Excellent! Su-metal celebrates her 16th birthday by transforming herself from a J-pop Idol to a Metal Goddess & Queen - doesn't everyone do it like that? 😁
Arigatou! 🦊🤘 #notacult

WHAT DO YOU CULT NOOOOO #notacult
BABYMETAL concert has great music, top notch musicians, epic theatrical performance, eye-blinding laser show, and of course the glorious singing and choreography from talented and charming girls, what could you ask more?!
🤣
⚡ 💀 💕 / 💀 💀 💀
Only about 1% of the population in Japan are Christian.
For many Japanese, the only exposure to Christianity is through popular culture like movies, anime or manga comics.
Or in BABYMETAL's case, through the imagery used in Metal concerts.
Fortunately most folks understand this is metaphor and spectacle.
The theme of this concert was "rebirth" and incorporated themes from 'Neon Genesis Evangelion'.
I'm sure they weren't intending to offend any anime fans. : )
Hahahaha... nice one, thanks!
Nothing to see here, just Su-metal celebrating her 16th birthday with her friends and like 9000 fans chanting DEATH!, DEATH! DEATH! while she¡s being crucified ... pretty standard, isn't it? 🤣
Okay, now seriously, that concert was Legend 1997 (SU-METAL seitan sai) aka SU-METAL 16th birthday party and took place on December 21st, 2013 at the Makuhari Messe convention center in Chiba.
Lyrics are quite simple: "B-A-B-Y-M-E-T-A-L" "SU-METAL desu", "YUIMETAL desu", "MOAMETAL desu", "BABYMETAL desu" "Death death death death death death..." etc Desu (the U is silent so it sounds like the English word death, pretty much means "I am, you are, we are" so they were introducing themselves. This was usually an opening song but this time they used it as a closing number. The meaning of the whole thing is the sacrifice of SU-METAL, giving up her mortal life as a human and Idol to reborn as a metal Goddess.
The beat at the intro and the final statue crumbling are homages to Metallica. The neckbrace thing is an homage to X-Japan's Yoshiki.
And... by the way... just in case... #notacult
I genuinely enjoyed reading that thank you so much!!! It was honestly amazing and I hope I get to see it in person one day……#notacult
Simply and absolutely #notacult Great react again bro! May the Fox God ve whit you. See You in the next, Kitsune 🤟🏻🦊🔥🔥🔥
Yours are the best BABYMETAL reactions on here! Intense yet genuine without being over-the-top. Your comments, your emotional reactions, even your voice are so much better than most of the other reactors out there. Great content by far; keep up the good work, sir!

@@JoJoLewis right I have to call myself the one now because that’s the name of a Babymetal fan! Love your content I’m a military personnel from America and your love of service members just hits my heartstrings in ways you cannot understand! Thank you for being you!
That was totally wild 🤘🎸🎸
It was crazy!
One of the best reactions to this that I have seen...the old eyes were poppin! And I totally agree that it is a hard one, but oh so pleasing! #notacult
epic ending of a concert
I absolutely need to see it in person one day!
I'm so pissed in missed the premiere. I watched it on my tv instead of my laptop, with my first cup of coffee. Ready to kick the day in the ass now. lol oh yea btw, the whole #notacult is a joke. It's #totallyacult, and now you're one of us. 🤘🦊🤘
I am glad you enjoyed it but honestly I have no idea what you are talking about it’s absolutely #notacult
@@JoJoLewis Welcome to the foxhole. We have cookies. #MaybeALittleBitCultish :P
Definitely one of the hardest and most controversial Babymetal songs. People often forget that things were done long before they were associated with a group/religion/practice/ideal. People were being crucified long before it became a Christian symbol. The noose was being used for centuries before it became associated with a certain extremist group. Even the swastika originally had (and still has) other meanings than what it's notorious for. #notacult
And Japan is less than 1% Christian so in Japan its not controversial at all
Not a cult.
Not a cult.
Not a cult.
Yeah we are...
Shhhhhhhhh #notacult
#notevenacultreally just Su's 16th Birthday party got a bit out of hand .
She got better #notacult 🤘🦊🤘
haha awesome reaction! 🔥🔥🔥
they blew my mind too. 😱 #notacult
oh, man, I am loving this reaction, literally LMAO right now #notacult
I appreciate that! I hope I can keep making videos you enjoy! #notacult
Great reaction. BABYMETAL never fail to deliver.
BabyMetal Death is an experience no doubt about it. I am glad you enjoyed it much more to go on the journey my friend.
Legend One-Nine-Nine-Seven (referring to the year of Su's birth)
It is the story that, receiving the legendary corset from the god of Metal,
she abandons being human and shall be reborn as a goddess.
The gene which has been determined from ancient time
is destined to be guided, boarding on the ark of time.
The apocalypse prophesied
The DOOMSDAY. Towards it,
There remains... little time.."
Basically, this show was the final step in BABYMETAL transitioning from Idol group sub-unit to independent metal band - it was also Su-metal's final step in her transition from J-Pop Idol - she was sacrificing her human existence and life as Suzuka Nakamoto the J-Pop Idol to be reborn as Su-metal the Metal Goddess chosen to lead the Metal Resistance.
Who waits with prudence
Who will be rewarded at the right time
Now the waiting has an end
Lending your ear to a legend ( SU-METAL )

The Destruction Of The Statue is similar to Metallica Justice for All live concert in Mexico City, Mexico 🇲🇽.
The Japanese word "desu" (です) is a copula (= to be). The Eastern Japanese almost drop "u" of this word, so the word "desu/des" sounds like "death". And someone started writing "DEATH" instead of "です" (desu). It makes sense only where the Japanese word "desu" is expected to come. The title "BABYMETAL DEATH" means only "We are BABYMETAL." No relation to the death itself.
I'm not sure of its origin, but I saw long before such a character as a vampire or a death metal singer in a comic and all his "です" (desu) were replaced with "DEATH" to emphasize his character. With such an air, it works well. Without such an air, it probably doesn't work.
There is a genre named "Death Metal". The sound of this tune seems to fall within that genre, and the lyric writer may have put many "DEATH"s to emphasize the Death-Metal-ness. It might be alright to use many "DEATH"s without thinking of death if some of Death Metal bands also chose their style just to differentiate themselves rather than driven by the feeling about death. But I don't know the Death Metal well.
MAKUHARI MESSE:-
Makuhari Messe (幕張メッセ) is a Japanese convention center outside Tokyo, located in the Mihama-ku ward of Chiba city, in the northwest corner of Chiba prefecture. Designed by Fumihiko Maki, it is accessible by Tokyo's commuter rail system. Makuhari is the name of the area, and Messe is a German language word meaning "trade fair".

Kitsune Up 🦊🦊🦊🤘🤘🤘🇯🇵🇸🇬#notacult.
Fun reaction👊🏽⚡️ Your reaction at 6:50 was disturbing…….
Lol it was mine as well exactly!!
#notacult
Su collapsed on the stage and THEN was put on the cross. So it's not the classical crucifixion which is a device of execution. Her dead body was put on the cross so that the Fox God could resurrect her.
always like your reaction..
I am glad you enjoy them! I hope I keep making content you enjoy!
This musical category is called, None More Metal. This song is the sole contender! Loved your delight, JoJo!
Check out the opening songs from the beginning of this concert It starts with Ave Maria and then goes into I guess an EDM electronic version of headbanger... mind altering...your welcome
#notacult
Best sweet 16 party ever ! 🙂
🔥👸🏻🔥
Entertaining reaction! :) As you may know the song Death is a play on words, the Japanese word Des means introduction but sounds like Death.
#notacult
Awesome reaction mate :)))

Try Black Babymetal - Sis Anger :)
The best Babymetal reaction ever !!!!!!!
Our Queen becomes Goddess!
Nice reaction!
Be careful ! Fox hole is deep, if you fall, you won't be able to get out lol
Have you seen the KARATE live yet?
I recommended Download live 2016.
I looking forward to it.
Yeah, great reaction
oh man I think this is now my favorite of your reactions to watch #totallyacultandnowyourinit
this is one that has me doing stank faces and moving my head the whole time
They got in so much trouble that they only put Su on a cross 3 more times... #notacult
Not to mention Yui , Moa with Su Toyko Dome 🤘🦊🤘
Oh wow major backlash I see #notacult
Even though on your recent reaction BP looks bad ass on 'kill this love ', crucified su Metal looks more bad ass than all 4 of them combined
#notacult
One of the Kamis said that this is the most difficult song they play. No, they didn't get in trouble. Crucifixion is the traditional form of execution in Japan, and this is before they played in the West, so the iconography they see and you see are very different.
Okuni, the woman who is credited with founding Kabuki (which Babymetal draws heavily on) back in the day, reputedly wore a cross. I heard Kyary Pamyu Pamyu state in an interview that she wears a cross to honor Okuni, so even a cross has a different significance.
That being said, the choreographer has spent time in the West and I am sure they are playing both sides of the fence. They knew what they were doing.
please next react BABYMETAL - ijime , Dame , Zettai - Live at Ｓonisphere 2014 , UK (official)

#notacult
So what did you do for your 16th birthday?
Su-Metal: I sacrificed my life as an Japanese Idol, assisted by my two 14 yo friends, with 20,000 apostates chanting for my death. I was reborn as a Metal Goddess and messenger of the Fox god.
Oh, yeah! #maybeacult #notacult #definitelynotacult
ベビーメタル-デス！
nice 😂 #notacult btw 🤘🦊
ABSOLUTELY #notacult
#NotACult, but I head you liked heavy metal and some Japanase, we have this group which is really into Babymetal. It's not a cult I promise, but the music is pretty good :)
The best thing about a metal show is that they can pull off the craziest s*** on stage and no one will ask questions. Unless you're Ozzy Osborne or Rammstein.
Good thing most Japanese are not religious or otherwise Babymetal would've get cancelled long before they get a chance of fame.
This has to be one of the best reactions to Babymetal. If you want to do more, may I suggest `Gimme chocolate` and `Karate`. These are more `poppymetal` but also very good. I would also really like to see your reaction to the song `Zombie` by The Cranberries, this song has a strong message and epic drums. And hopefully maybe you can react also to the cover of `Zombie` by The bad wolves, wich is one of the best covers I have heard. Keep them coming please.

Great reaction, and glad you checked out the translation of the intro since the whole video makes more sense then. Best birthday celebration ever, don't you agree? Btw Japan is not much into Christianity, so the use of the cross, etc., is not considered disrespectful or an insult in any way. By the way, the giant statue in the back references Metallica's "...And Justice for All" alongside many other references you can see in that specific show. Usually, that song was used as the opener (it will make more sense after you watched the guide^^). Still, on this occasion, it made perfect sense to use it at the end of the show to celebrate the transformation of Su-metal (and Babymetal as a whole) from a jpop idol group to the metal queen/metal band she is/they are now. See you in the next one!
Almost forgot #notacult #seriouslynotacult
I’m honestly glad they didn’t get in trouble for that I feel like if that hits the wrong eyes tho then it’s not too late for that to happen.
Also…..#notacult
You think that was wild...Wait till you see the intro for Legend S. "In the Name Of" is the song you want to check out. On a side note...Su has been crucified 5-6 times so far. As the events of her transformation have been re told. PS: Check out the BabyMetal Reactors Resource channel spreadsheet for more links including the song I mentioned.
