BABYMETAL wrote their own lines (or the BABYMETAL team to be more accurate) - originally all in English. Oli asked them to include some Japanese. Hopefully you have realised you can't possibly judge what BABYMETAL are or what they can do (and what they actually do) from just one song - three or four is the minimum to get a real idea of what they are about. The DragonForce influence on the song you heard was due to them wanting a song in that style - and getting Herman Li and Sam Totman to write the guitar arrangements. More melodic BABYMETAL songs ... 'Megitsune' will surprise you in many ways, 'No Rain, No Rainbow' is like an 80s rock ballad (live at Legend S Baptism XX is the best version), 'Shine' is just beautiful, 'Brand New Day' is more at the pop end of their scale but is also very smooth vocally, 'Shanti Shanti Shanti' will show you just how versatile Su-metal's vocals can be. There are many more - 'Rondo of Nightmare' gives a very good example of how good a singer Su-metal is, 'Starlight' is emotional and so on - (and only another one or two you might think of as being anything like DragonForce).
_getting Herman Li and Sam Totman to write the guitar arrangements_ It is almost another collaboration: just as Oli crafted a song which was excellent for Babymetal to join (and further shaped it after receiving their contribution), with Road of Resistance Babymetal had crafted a song for that Dragonforce sound and Herman and Sam's guitars.
I heard Babymetal offered to sing all their verses in English but Oli wanted them to keep some in Japanese so they could sing more comfortably, it truly was a thoughtful collaboration from both sides having one another in mind while creating the track
Babymetal: expect the unexpected. Every song is different, with just enough to know its by Babymetal. If you want power ballad tyoe songs: No Rain, No Rainbow or maybe Shine (lot of emotion in both these songs) . If there was a song that would best describe them, it probably would be Megitsune or Headbanger. I like clean clear vocals as well. But for the sake of this song, it fits so well.
this type of music is normal in Babymetal Universe , here the simple formula me can think for all Babymetal songs : " J-Pop + Metal + 2 or 3 other genre " and on the third album they added more genre from around the world , from 40+ songs they have not single one of them sound the same.
You've said melodic minor vocal lines! Thats what jpop is known for. While japanese music have their own common chord progressions akin to the 4 chord, those common chord progressions traverse in the minor pentatonic scale which allows more variety but samey, hence the anime comparisons. For clear view of that, try react to babymetal - megitsune. It uses a traditional folk japanese song.
Awesome reaction. This is my favorite song on the EP, but then I'm a big Babymetal fan. :) I recommend Babymetal's song Megitsune next. It's pretty heavy and, like Kingslayer, has some synths mixed in. th-cam.com/video/cK3NMZAUKGw/w-d-xo.html The girls are really young in this official music video, as it is one of their first, but they are in their early 20s now. They invited Bring Me the Horizon to play some shows with them in Japan in November last year as part of their larger Metal Galaxy World Tour promoting their third album. One of the original members, Yui Mizuno (Yuimetal), officially left the band a couple of years ago, leaving Suzuka Nakamoto (Su-Metal, the lead singer) and Moa Kikuchi (Moametal, dance and backing vocals). One of Babymetal's darkest songs, and another big recommend, is "Rondo of Nightmare" with the Mischiefs of the Metal Gods instrumental intro, live at Budokan in 2014: th-cam.com/video/8WBDiLMNZcE/w-d-xo.html. This one is a "Su solo," so the other girls are back stage taking a breather.
Could be wrong, but believe only BABYMETAL song you did was 'Road of Resistance' Live in Japan, which is 5 (?) years old. Su-metal's voice has only gotten better. Arigatou! 🦊🤘
Road of Resistance is a very bad choise to showcase Babymetal to someone, as bad choise as Gimme Chocolate. The two songs give a wrong reaction, leading people to say Dragonforce or childish, they need to listen to them after they know whats happening. Newer staff is way better to introduce someone to Babymetal, then go back to older and unique songs.
It seems to me like you don't have a very accurate impression about BABYMETAL. Their catalogue is very diverse, but melodic, catchy choruses are very prominent, so this chorus here wouldn't really stand out among them. "Road of Resistance" is not very tpyical in that regard, as it contains very little of the cute, poppy elements. If you are interested to see another side, please check out "Megitsune", for example, which is the most quintessential BABYMETAL song, in my opinion: th-cam.com/video/cK3NMZAUKGw/w-d-xo.html
Suzuka is a great singer, not a gimmick as it can seem on the first looks of it. I think you should try a bit more on their content, *Megitsune* would be a great next step.
you cant judge Babymetal while you only reacted to one song. otherwise you would understand this is normal Babymetal. BMTH actually opened for Babymetal last year in Japan on a few dates. this is how a collaberation should work. both bands shine with their styles and it blends so good. the vocals were toned to sound like old radio sounds. the album was like in a post apocaliptic future so the processed vocals fit the meaning.
Until You have checked BABYMETAL's Megitsune OMV You haven't really seen them. For more exposure to SU-METAL's voice her solo dongs are perfect: "No Rain, No Rainbow" Legend S, "Akatuski" and "Rondo of Nightmare" from Budokan and "Amore" from... somewhere (I can't remember :P ) most of these links are already in the comments. BABYMETAL 🤘🦊🤘
No one is mentioning about MIck Gordon's participation in this EP's production. Mick Gordon is a producer/musician best known for his game soundtracks (Doom 2016, Doom Eternal, Wolfenstein) hence the "glitchy vocals" and "grungy industrial" guitars and effects. If you wish to check him out, try "Rip and Tear", "BFG Division", "Slayer Gates" (chants are of heavy metal band vocalists) "Cultist Base" (guitar sound is of a f*cking CHAINSAW) or "Gladiator Boss" just to name a few.
It's interesting how it's mostly Babymetal fans watching and commenting under reactions to this song. Shows how dedicated this fanbase is. Babymetal is a group you can't make many assumptions about. As fans we still get surprised by their new works each time let alone you who's only heard one song. Most of their songs have very melodic vocals including Road of Resistance, but it might've been 'hidden' by everything else going on in that song. The pre-choruses of Road of Resistance are to me some of the catchiest Babymetal parts vocally. Check out the official video for 'Megitsune'. It's quite heavy but very melodic and I think you'll love it.
Nice reaction & thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 Please follow the recommendation made by Grington300 300 below for next BABYMETAL reaction. If you especially prefer melodic song, a beautiful ballad "No Rain, No Rainbow' live at Legend S Baptism XX " is the best.
I'm not surprised at your shock. Most people don't realize that Su is fluent in English. She's also on video at concerts speaking German, French, Dutch, and Finnish. She really tries hard to communicate with her audience. Which is more impressive, because she's actually very introverted by nature.
Mind..blown ..that kingslayer earworm, I often have it going round in my head when I wake up.. Remembering your RoR reaction somewhat, hope you give them now another chance. Megitsune(official) has tons of stuff going on. BMC has the flow. Rondo of Nightmare, intro for band and Su's voice.
Based off of your reaction and what you want to see out of Babymetal I think one of Su-Metal’s solo songs would be perfect for you to react to. And of those I feel like Akatsuki from Budokan Black Night would be the most enjoyable for you. Absolutely check that one out if you can.
The two Babymetal songs which are most like this sonically are "Arkadia" and "Distortion." There is an Official Video for "Distortion; for "Arkadia" I recommend you listen to the album version, the audio is cleaner and the vocals are clearer than live. Two others which come close are "Tales of the Destinies" and "BxMxC," they will take you to quite different musical places.
Niiice!! I'm gonna found a club called "I wasn't expecting this" so you all can join LOL This is pure fire and all the kitsunes are very happy on how it works.
It actually feels more like BMTH made the song sound a lot like a BABYMETAL song, 'cause this is actually a normal style for BM, and in turn, making the two vocalists blend sooo well together and making this song sound like an OST for an awesome hard-hitting action anime or live action movie. This would even fit well in the upcoming Matrix film or even the upcoming Bleach anime revival/final season. I think if this was promoted in Japan, this would really be a big hit and be successful with the Japanese fans. Perfection!
Bloody Hell Mate! I did allready post to one of your reactions and even said I hate country but your reaction/comments where so cool I gotta change my thinking about CB`s. Here we go again and you do the real extrem from 2 of ma Fav Bands??? WTF?! (BTW I`m 45 and still doing Drums/D&B and all of it) YOU ARE THE MAN MATE!!!!!
BabyMetal is a super diverse genre band with tons of different styles of music under there belt. Its quite forgiveable for people to have heard one or 2 of there songs and think they have a good handle on the band, but once you start listening to more you kind of get it. The best way to explain it is BabyMetal has a unique feel to there music (lots of transistions, clear vocals, ect) that makes up there feel, however the genres they tackle range from Deathmetal, heavymetal, grundge, rock, 80's pop, techno, eurobeats, hairbands, rap, and the list goes on. While you may not want to do a bunch of baby metal reactions for your channel, it would do you good bit to listen to there latest album Metal Galaxy (which took number 1 for metal on Billboard in the USA) in your own time. As for the song of theres you reacted to that sounded like dragonforce, well thats because it was written to sound like dragonforce and then ended up being a collaboration with dragonforce when they came on and wrote some of the guitar rifts for it.
I love your reactions sir! I’m a southern country music grown cowboy and I love this song! I’m waiting for them to collaborate with a country artist maybe you!
as a screamer , i use gain to help me distort my voice past the physical possibilities i naturally have. and then throw the right amount of compression on it and you got some metal vocals! it’s all about the mix , screaming wouldn’t sound the way it sounds without it
Su-metal is a versatile vocalist, she is melodic but she can do other styles as well. The group also experiments a lot, so Road of Resistance is just one sound. A good song to showcase Su that is melodic is No Rain No Rainbow - Legend S version live. Shine is a good one too. th-cam.com/video/VsNgGF47YZo/w-d-xo.html The video is taken from two performances so it lacks a certain continuity, but is a beautiful song. If you want to see other aspects, check out Shanti Shanti Shanti which is Bollywood influenced or BxMxC where she raps.
Great track, hadn't listened to it before. By the way, you have to react to "Take what you want" by Post Malone featuring Ozzy Osbourne and Travis Scott, and also "Stay" by Post Malone as well, I think you will be surprised
If you say you like the melodic side of babymetal... maybe give Babymetal - "Akatsuki" or "No rain no rainbow" a show! Two solos of Su and especially the latter is something different.
Great reaction. Like to see some more Babymetal reactions. Su has a number of solos that showcase her vocals well Akatsuki th-cam.com/video/g2372C5PJLM/w-d-xo.html or No Rain, No Rainbow th-cam.com/video/pDgqo6fcliY/w-d-xo.html . Also, Babymetal released their first MV in 4 years a couple of weeks ago and it's great fun! BxMxC: th-cam.com/video/ng8mh6JUIqY/w-d-xo.html
There's definitely been quite a bit of distortion on Oli's voice with their newer stuff. Loving the new album and Kingslayer is by far one of my favorites.
For some more melodic songs check out those below. These are compilations of more recent performances but well edited with good live audio. Shine th-cam.com/video/VsNgGF47YZo/w-d-xo.html Arkadia th-cam.com/video/vxUv2MOSxzA/w-d-xo.html Kagerou th-cam.com/video/GTUOyNHpvZY/w-d-xo.html
Great reaction. 🙂. If you want to hear Babymetal melodic vocals in minor key then “Megitsune” Official MV or “No Rain No Rainbow” at Apocalypse XX or “Rondo of Nightmare” with Mischief of gods Intro Live at Budokan
If you want the best of Su's vocals try BM's power ballads where she sings solo. The best in order, in my opinion: 1. The One 2. Amore 3. Akatsuki 4. No Rain No Rainbow P.S. some reactors have cried to No 1
You should react to FN by lil tjay. I wanna know how you feel bout it since it’s melodic but a little faster. Itd be different for you and could go great or not so great lol. Keep up the work bro
If you didnt like the over processing...means you did not understand the song! "system failure" "your corrupted" wake up shut up back up your a puppet... The reason for japanese lyrics...because the english language will not let you "staccato" note for note ... japanese lyrics were on point with the instruments timing. English in metal comes across like a power ballad... unless your cussing. If you really want to be in awe... listen to Babymetal and you will figure out why the bass player has a 7 string bass. He can match the drummers double kicks note for note... now thats epic. What would you expect from a country that produces 90% of the equipment bands use...
I've to agree with you, while I do undertand they were looking for a cyberpunk kind of sound here, heavy vocal distortion is not really my thing, it works here as it has a purpose. BABYMETAL have so many different songs, but my guess is that Distortion is the closest one, though between the new ones, The Trilogy of Light as a whole is amazing (they are three songs: Starlight, Shine and Arkadia, Shine being my favourite). 🤘🦊⚡
If you're interested in melodic metal check out BABYMETAL's No Rain, No Rainbow. If you like minor keys, check out BABYMETAL's Rondo of Nightmare with Mischiefs of God intro, a hauntingly beautiful heavy metal waltz.
You should look into Lil Tjay he is from New York and is a very melodic artist with some great music, I hope you decide to watch some music videos from him. Love the content man!
Combining 'unexpected' and 'Babymetal' is expected :) What do I want to see? A collaboration between Matthew Runaway and Babymetal! We've had almost every genre meshed with Babymetal, but we haven't had any Country-Metal thus far. I remember your Road Of Resistance reaction, Babymetal endorsed it! Make it happen, Matthew Runaway!
Hey! Seems like fans guided you the wrong way for Babymetal, there are two songs that you don't have to listen for a first time with the band, they are Road of Resistance and Gimme Chocolate. The first one leads people to say Dragonforce, and it sounds like that because they collaborated in it but reactor doesn't know it and misunderstands it. And the other while is their most popular older song, it's different and confuses people making they believe they are as childish as they supposed, but they do it in purpose in that song and a few more. In the past years it was hard to explain and show Babymetal to people because there are too many songs with different sub genres and rythms, but now a day I would pick some of their last album to showcase Babymetal, probably BxMxC or one of the trilogy of stars, Starlight, Arcadia or Shine, then go back to older staff. Give them a chance!
Babymetal doesn't sound like Dragonforce. Usually. That was one song that was co-written for them by Dragonforce. Babymetal did a song that sounds like Limp Bizkit. I really love it but if you hate Limp Bizkit there are 50 other songs for you. The same with Dragonforce. If they're not your cup of tea there are 50 other songs. Dragonforce is not my cup of tea.
If you interested in song structure and how they delivered.. Then Babymetal had a big catalouge for you They are famous for blending and mixing genre power/trash/death/black/pirate/folk metal, ballad, R&B, hip hop, enka (japanese traditional style), reggae, bubblegum pop, progressive, techno, EDM, latin, etc... They had a ton arsenal of proffesional song writer, Every song is big project.. its safe to assume that you will get the best of them in every song.. Maybe it will hit or miss for some people.. but worth a try... React to Babymetal ...?? Expect the unexpected ... 😀😀
Love country music and love BABYMETAL! I'll check out your tracks. Criminal to autotune Su- even for effect, but it does sound great. Best song on the new BMTH album.
I highly recommend listening to anything off of XXXTENTACION’s ? Or 17 albums. He puts so much emotion in his music that will sweep you off your feet. I will continue to recommend him on almost every video you produce. I still love the content as always thank you!!
Good reaction... Babymetal do many different things, they delve into many different styles, so it's impossible to classify them just by hearing one song (they are impossible to classify anyway, beyond being a j-pop / metal fusion). Road of Resistance is more of an anthem going at full speed, but they have several more melodic songs (and the lead singer, Su, continues growing and getting better).
BABYMETAL wrote their own lines (or the BABYMETAL team to be more accurate) - originally all in English. Oli asked them to include some Japanese. Hopefully you have realised you can't possibly judge what BABYMETAL are or what they can do (and what they actually do) from just one song - three or four is the minimum to get a real idea of what they are about.
The DragonForce influence on the song you heard was due to them wanting a song in that style - and getting Herman Li and Sam Totman to write the guitar arrangements.
More melodic BABYMETAL songs ... 'Megitsune' will surprise you in many ways, 'No Rain, No Rainbow' is like an 80s rock ballad (live at Legend S Baptism XX is the best version), 'Shine' is just beautiful, 'Brand New Day' is more at the pop end of their scale but is also very smooth vocally, 'Shanti Shanti Shanti' will show you just how versatile Su-metal's vocals can be. There are many more - 'Rondo of Nightmare' gives a very good example of how good a singer Su-metal is, 'Starlight' is emotional and so on - (and only another one or two you might think of as being anything like DragonForce).

It is almost another collaboration: just as Oli crafted a song which was excellent for Babymetal to join (and further shaped it after receiving their contribution), with Road of Resistance Babymetal had crafted a song for that Dragonforce sound and Herman and Sam's guitars.
We should shock him letting him react to BMC :D
Babymetal's range in songs is broader than you might think, I hope you do more of their songs.
Yeah this actually pretty normal for babymetal, in fact this song has way more babymetal feel than a horizon feel for a song
Yes
True, but still awesome 😁
Agree
Have listened and seen so many reactions now.
Agree that its specialy written with Babymetal in mind
I heard Babymetal offered to sing all their verses in English but Oli wanted them to keep some in Japanese so they could sing more comfortably, it truly was a thoughtful collaboration from both sides having one another in mind while creating the track
Babymetal: expect the unexpected. Every song is different, with just enough to know its by Babymetal.

If there was a song that would best describe them, it probably would be Megitsune or Headbanger.
I like clean clear vocals as well. But for the sake of this song, it fits so well.
Megitsune for more melodic vocals
this type of music is normal in Babymetal Universe , here the simple formula me can think for all Babymetal songs : " J-Pop + Metal + 2 or 3 other genre " and on the third album they added more genre from around the world , from 40+ songs they have not single one of them sound the same.
You clearly need to listen to more Babymetal, there's 50 songs.
defo! go on Matthew, do another babymetal reaction!
Foreal 😭
All live tho
You've said melodic minor vocal lines! Thats what jpop is known for. While japanese music have their own common chord progressions akin to the 4 chord, those common chord progressions traverse in the minor pentatonic scale which allows more variety but samey, hence the anime comparisons.

Mick Gordon has been producing them recently, Person who makes DOOM sound tracks, so that might explain the Gain you talk about
Could be wrong, but believe only BABYMETAL song you did was 'Road of Resistance' Live in Japan, which is 5 (?) years old. Su-metal's voice has only gotten better.
Arigatou! 🦊🤘
Road of Resistance is a very bad choise to showcase Babymetal to someone, as bad choise as Gimme Chocolate.

this song surprised a lot of bmth fans, but didn't surprise that many babymetal fans.
Tbf everything suprises BMTH fans at this point considering their music got a lot weirder after That's the Spirit.
@@lucasgoncalves7774 they are trying so many different genres every album has different genre lol
Nope, im a fans band of both
It seems to me like you don't have a very accurate impression about BABYMETAL. Their catalogue is very diverse, but melodic, catchy choruses are very prominent, so this chorus here wouldn't really stand out among them. "Road of Resistance" is not very tpyical in that regard, as it contains very little of the cute, poppy elements.

For more melodic style I suggest Megitsune (official video), Shine, Starlight and The One 🦊🤘🖤
Suzuka is a great singer, not a gimmick as it can seem on the first looks of it. I think you should try a bit more on their content, *Megitsune* would be a great next step.
you cant judge Babymetal while you only reacted to one song. otherwise you would understand this is normal Babymetal.

Until You have checked BABYMETAL's Megitsune OMV You haven't really seen them.
For more exposure to SU-METAL's voice her solo dongs are perfect: "No Rain, No Rainbow" Legend S, "Akatuski" and "Rondo of Nightmare" from Budokan and "Amore" from... somewhere (I can't remember :P ) most of these links are already in the comments.
BABYMETAL 🤘🦊🤘

Looking forward to this reaction. Make sure to check out Dear Diary next!!

Nice reaction & thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 Please follow the recommendation made by Grington300 300 below for next BABYMETAL reaction. If you especially prefer melodic song, a beautiful ballad "No Rain, No Rainbow' live at Legend S Baptism XX " is the best.
I'm not surprised at your shock. Most people don't realize that Su is fluent in English.
She's also on video at concerts speaking German, French, Dutch, and Finnish.
She really tries hard to communicate with her audience. Which is more impressive, because she's actually very introverted by nature.
You Should react to The Kid Laroi ‘Always do’ and ‘without you’
"I did not expect it at all"
- Every reaction to anything where BABYMETAL is.
Mind..blown
..that kingslayer earworm, I often have it going round in my head when I wake up..
Remembering your RoR reaction somewhat, hope you give them now another chance.
Megitsune(official) has tons of stuff going on.
BMC has the flow.
Rondo of Nightmare, intro for band and Su's voice.
Based off of your reaction and what you want to see out of Babymetal I think one of Su-Metal’s solo songs would be perfect for you to react to. And of those I feel like Akatsuki from Budokan Black Night would be the most enjoyable for you. Absolutely check that one out if you can.
"that is not what I expected from them". Babymetal in a nutshell.
Please do more Babymetal. They're amazing. They are really good at genre bending and this song was actually a standard Babymetal song. 😅
love ur reaction very genuine and dont expect u would comment that much.. keep up da good wrkkk
The two Babymetal songs which are most like this sonically are "Arkadia" and "Distortion." There is an Official Video for "Distortion; for "Arkadia" I recommend you listen to the album version, the audio is cleaner and the vocals are clearer than live. Two others which come close are "Tales of the Destinies" and "BxMxC," they will take you to quite different musical places.
Arkadia and TOTD really ? I must listen to them again ^^
Niiice!! I'm gonna found a club called "I wasn't expecting this" so you all can join LOL
This is pure fire and all the kitsunes are very happy on how it works.
I love the drum lines from BMTH, they always catch my ear
"Fetauring Jamie Lanister..." oh, do you mean the 'KINGSLAYER'!!!
Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!
It actually feels more like BMTH made the song sound a lot like a BABYMETAL song, 'cause this is actually a normal style for BM, and in turn, making the two vocalists blend sooo well together and making this song sound like an OST for an awesome hard-hitting action anime or live action movie. This would even fit well in the upcoming Matrix film or even the upcoming Bleach anime revival/final season. I think if this was promoted in Japan, this would really be a big hit and be successful with the Japanese fans. Perfection!
Bloody Hell Mate!
I did allready post to one of your reactions and even said I hate country but your reaction/comments where so cool I gotta change my thinking about CB`s. Here we go again and you do the real extrem from 2 of ma Fav Bands??? WTF?! (BTW I`m 45 and still doing Drums/D&B and all of it)
YOU ARE THE MAN MATE!!!!!
BabyMetal is a super diverse genre band with tons of different styles of music under there belt. Its quite forgiveable for people to have heard one or 2 of there songs and think they have a good handle on the band, but once you start listening to more you kind of get it. The best way to explain it is BabyMetal has a unique feel to there music (lots of transistions, clear vocals, ect) that makes up there feel, however the genres they tackle range from Deathmetal, heavymetal, grundge, rock, 80's pop, techno, eurobeats, hairbands, rap, and the list goes on. While you may not want to do a bunch of baby metal reactions for your channel, it would do you good bit to listen to there latest album Metal Galaxy (which took number 1 for metal on Billboard in the USA) in your own time. As for the song of theres you reacted to that sounded like dragonforce, well thats because it was written to sound like dragonforce and then ended up being a collaboration with dragonforce when they came on and wrote some of the guitar rifts for it.
I love your reactions sir! I’m a southern country music grown cowboy and I love this song! I’m waiting for them to collaborate with a country artist maybe you!
You need to check out Su's solo. Akatsuki, no rain no rainbow, amore, rondo of nightmare.
Best reaction to this song, the only person to pick up on the dynamics, nice one
as a screamer , i use gain to help me distort my voice past the physical possibilities i naturally have. and then throw the right amount of compression on it and you got some metal vocals! it’s all about the mix , screaming wouldn’t sound the way it sounds without it
Su-metal is a versatile vocalist, she is melodic but she can do other styles as well. The group also experiments a lot, so Road of Resistance is just one sound. A good song to showcase Su that is melodic is No Rain No Rainbow - Legend S version live. Shine is a good one too. th-cam.com/video/VsNgGF47YZo/w-d-xo.html The video is taken from two performances so it lacks a certain continuity, but is a beautiful song. If you want to see other aspects, check out Shanti Shanti Shanti which is Bollywood influenced or BxMxC where she raps.
Waiting for this one!
Great track, hadn't listened to it before. By the way, you have to react to "Take what you want" by Post Malone featuring Ozzy Osbourne and Travis Scott, and also "Stay" by Post Malone as well, I think you will be surprised
If you say you like the melodic side of babymetal... maybe give Babymetal - "Akatsuki" or "No rain no rainbow" a show! Two solos of Su and especially the latter is something different.
Great reaction. Like to see some more Babymetal reactions. Su has a number of solos that showcase her vocals well Akatsuki th-cam.com/video/g2372C5PJLM/w-d-xo.html or No Rain, No Rainbow th-cam.com/video/pDgqo6fcliY/w-d-xo.html . Also, Babymetal released their first MV in 4 years a couple of weeks ago and it's great fun! BxMxC: th-cam.com/video/ng8mh6JUIqY/w-d-xo.html
When Ollie said down the rabbit hole I would adjust that a bit and say fox hole. 😊🤘🤘
There's definitely been quite a bit of distortion on Oli's voice with their newer stuff. Loving the new album and Kingslayer is by far one of my favorites.
For some more melodic songs check out those below. These are compilations of more recent performances but well edited with good live audio.

every single one of kid larois new stuff he just put out is really good, but this song was unexpectedly good as well.
Great reaction. 🙂. If you want to hear Babymetal melodic vocals in minor key then “Megitsune” Official MV or “No Rain No Rainbow” at Apocalypse XX or “Rondo of Nightmare” with Mischief of gods Intro Live at Budokan
Matthew:"Imagine this in an arena like 50,000 people singing it"
Covid: Hold my beer.
Nice reaction! Another BMTH track I think you’d like is “Dear Diary” It’s not as distorted and is a great mix of their old and new sound
If you want the best of Su's vocals try BM's power ballads where she sings solo. The best in order, in my opinion:
1. The One
2. Amore
3. Akatsuki
4. No Rain No Rainbow
P.S. some reactors have cried to No 1
Eventually this turned out to be a Babymetal song with BMTH featuring
country never had a place, convert to the darkside we have cookies :D
You don't have to imagine them in an arena go watch the official live from Tokyo
Try it Baby Metal - Megitsune, Catch Me if You can, Akatsuki.
Don't really know if it's more "minor", but the song Karate does have a wild riff. Link here: th-cam.com/video/GvD3CHA48pA/w-d-xo.html
You should react to FN by lil tjay. I wanna know how you feel bout it since it’s melodic but a little faster. Itd be different for you and could go great or not so great lol. Keep up the work bro
yes me too
If you didnt like the over processing...means you did not understand the song! "system failure" "your corrupted" wake up shut up back up your a puppet... The reason for japanese lyrics...because the english language will not let you "staccato" note for note ... japanese lyrics were on point with the instruments timing. English in metal comes across like a power ballad... unless your cussing. If you really want to be in awe... listen to Babymetal and you will figure out why the bass player has a 7 string bass. He can match the drummers double kicks note for note... now thats epic. What would you expect from a country that produces 90% of the equipment bands use...
I've to agree with you, while I do undertand they were looking for a cyberpunk kind of sound here, heavy vocal distortion is not really my thing, it works here as it has a purpose. BABYMETAL have so many different songs, but my guess is that Distortion is the closest one, though between the new ones, The Trilogy of Light as a whole is amazing (they are three songs: Starlight, Shine and Arkadia, Shine being my favourite). 🤘🦊⚡
If you're interested in melodic metal check out BABYMETAL's No Rain, No Rainbow.
If you like minor keys, check out BABYMETAL's Rondo of Nightmare with Mischiefs of God intro, a hauntingly beautiful heavy metal waltz.
The babymetal song you thought sounded a bit dragonforce like, was co-written by dragonforce.
Please Check BabyMetal 10 years Hedobangeeer!
You should look into Lil Tjay he is from New York and is a very melodic artist with some great music, I hope you decide to watch some music videos from him. Love the content man!
Combining 'unexpected' and 'Babymetal' is expected :)
What do I want to see? A collaboration between Matthew Runaway and Babymetal! We've had almost every genre meshed with Babymetal, but we haven't had any Country-Metal thus far. I remember your Road Of Resistance reaction, Babymetal endorsed it! Make it happen, Matthew Runaway!
To the 1% reading this god bless, stay safe and have a wonderful day (my dream is to become a famous moto vloger) Thanks ❤️
Hey! Seems like fans guided you the wrong way for Babymetal, there are two songs that you don't have to listen for a first time with the band, they are Road of Resistance and Gimme Chocolate. The first one leads people to say Dragonforce, and it sounds like that because they collaborated in it but reactor doesn't know it and misunderstands it. And the other while is their most popular older song, it's different and confuses people making they believe they are as childish as they supposed, but they do it in purpose in that song and a few more.
In the past years it was hard to explain and show Babymetal to people because there are too many songs with different sub genres and rythms, but now a day I would pick some of their last album to showcase Babymetal, probably BxMxC or one of the trilogy of stars, Starlight, Arcadia or Shine, then go back to older staff.
Give them a chance!
I take responsibility of spamming you to react to BMTH!!! Oli going for the deep screams......🔥🔥🔥
Babymetal doesn't sound like Dragonforce. Usually. That was one song that was co-written for them by Dragonforce. Babymetal did a song that sounds like Limp Bizkit. I really love it but if you hate Limp Bizkit there are 50 other songs for you. The same with Dragonforce. If they're not your cup of tea there are 50 other songs. Dragonforce is not my cup of tea.
babymetal is the best thing to happen in music !
If you interested in song structure and how they delivered..
Then Babymetal had a big catalouge for you
They are famous for blending and mixing genre
power/trash/death/black/pirate/folk metal, ballad, R&B, hip hop, enka (japanese traditional style), reggae, bubblegum pop, progressive, techno, EDM, latin, etc...
They had a ton arsenal of proffesional song writer,
Every song is big project.. its safe to assume that you will get the best of them in every song..
Maybe it will hit or miss for some people.. but worth a try...
React to Babymetal ...??
Expect the unexpected ... 😀😀
Love country music and love BABYMETAL! I'll check out your tracks.
Criminal to autotune Su- even for effect, but it does sound great. Best song on the new BMTH album.
More melodic in minor. Check out Babymetal "Akatsuki" live at Budokan Black Night.
I'm interested in your thoughts on new Foo Fighters song Shame Shame
I highly recommend listening to anything off of XXXTENTACION’s ? Or 17 albums. He puts so much emotion in his music that will sweep you off your feet. I will continue to recommend him on almost every video you produce. I still love the content as always thank you!!
Good reaction... Babymetal do many different things, they delve into many different styles, so it's impossible to classify them just by hearing one song (they are impossible to classify anyway, beyond being a j-pop / metal fusion). Road of Resistance is more of an anthem going at full speed, but they have several more melodic songs (and the lead singer, Su, continues growing and getting better).
Now you need to do dear diary
dunno if he had anything to do with this, but i heard they got inspired by mick gordon in this album. at least somewhat inspired by i imagine
I liked Oli's voice being pushed really unnaturally because it exaggerates the contrast with BabyMetal's vocals.
Please react to Without You from The Kid Laroi, it would be very interesting to see you react to it, cuz it surprised me when I first heard it.
Most PPL don`t get the diffrence between Gain and Volume......killed my PA so often.......sigh
👍
Babymetal 🤘🦊❤

BABYETAL rules!!!!
Oh man you really need to listen to more babymetal.
Enough said, more babymetal.

You could say that this is more like BM ft. BMTH instead of the opposite cause it sounds more like BM's song.
