Great reaction,, you can check out "megitsuni" or "karate" to hear more of his singing,,I would recommend the live version more,, because their live performances are always phenomenal

Headbanger should be next

Keep babymetal going for the Fox God's sake! For the love of the Fox God 🤘🦊🤘

“Always a brides maid!” For non-Americans that means, I’m always late to the party. Everything has been said above, or below except they are still my favorite band, and I listen to a ton of heavy music. Very diverse and talented women. I’ve seen them multiple times in the US and Japan. You can never go wrong with this group. ❤️🦊

First off SKOL brother!! 2nd welcome down the Foxhole . I would suggest Karate either the MV or 2016 Download version

Man you have to watch legend 1997 Babymetal Death Live. Version. Just watch it and you will know why.

The Maids have sold out a couple tours in the states. They will be back brother.

Check out the Maids jam Band sound on the mv for Manners. Completely different sound. It's awesome

For a different sound from Band Maid check out the mv for Manners. Blues rock jam Band sound. Killer tune.

😂😂😂😂This version is just a reminder for fans! You want something fxxking crazy and blow your mind? Go back the time when you don't like them, seriously.😂😂😂

Sorry, they haven't ever sacrificed any black goats during their live shows. Yet.

ever heard of Gacharic Spin! I recommend listening to 'Gacharic Spin - I wish I (Official Live Video) in 豊洲PIT (Lyrics in English)!....or...'Gacharic Spin｢MindSet｣'

"Monochrome" live PIA arena. That will give you a good sense of what Baby Metal is all about.

Death from the 1997 legend show is the best one! Hope to see more BABYMETAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And this is just an intro song lol

"Headbanger" "Rondo of Nightmare" "Syncopation" "Starlight" (all live) are some of my personal favourites. You might enjoy them, too. Great reaction btw

Welcome to Babymetal, the mind-bendiest of the Japanese metal scene bands. If i were you id stay in the modern era of babymetal before venturing into the back catalogue, just to adjust yourself a litlle to their sound. Songs like Mirror Mirror or Monochrome. Of course live is always the best. Praise be to the Fox God and Kitsunes up! Enjoy the ride.

Subbing to see you react to more. They are so good it's crazy. If you want to start early in their career, maybe try Megitsune (not live, just because live spoils the sick breakdown the first time you ever hear it), but absolutely anything else PREFER live. Road of Resistance, Headbanger are good bets for early Babymetal. If you want to start more modern day, Metali is a good one, or the collab they did with Bring Me The Horizon, called Kingslayer. I've seen people work both forward, backward or any order really, but it's all fantastic.

Welcome & Thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 This exciting opening song was performed 3 times this year in USA (San Francisco x2 + Las Vegas) and American crowd also got hyped like you saw in this video. BABYMETAL is the best musical phenomenon I have ever experienced in my 68-year-long life. (Before BM, I was a stubborn jazz / funk lover) We say "Japan is the country obsessed by Rock Music". The history is very long and the obsession started in 1966 when Beatles visited Japan and held 5 concerts at Budokan. Speaking of hard rock / heavy metal music, a number of bands started to come to Japan since as early as 1970s : Led Zeppelin / Grand Funk Railroad (1971), Deep Purple (1972), Queen (1975), Kiss (1977), Cheap Trick / Van Halen / Scorpions (1978), Judas Priest (1978/79) and so on. Now, any type of rock can be enjoyed here, especially by many all-female or women-fronted bands. They are daughters of American / European rock, for sure. (Many are grand-daughters in terms of age.) Uh-oh, we also say "Japan is the country obsessed by Jazz". It had started earlier than rock 😄

Great reaction! Now i recommend you react to 'The Legend '. Ok, maybe not that one. That might be going a little too far the other way. 🤣 Babymetal is a fusion, now more of a blend, of Japanese pop and metal. It can get a little weird sometimes, in a very good way, so be prepared. It's awesome and it's highly addictive.

Amo ver las diferentes reacciones de las personas al ver por primera vez a Babymetal.

BABYMETAL brings so much joy, hope and tears. They are the band that changed my life.

It most likely IS exactly that metal dance unit you listened to 10 years before🤣 I assume you listened to "Gimme Chocolate!!", which went viral around 2013. That one is indeed very poppy, but it is quite heavy, too. Before you dive deeper into their work of the last 14 years (!), you should try out the version of "BABYMETAL Death" with an actual sacrifice 😉 Some people here already recommended it: "BABYMETAL Death - Legend 1997 Apocalypse" (The "Legend" thing is the concert title), which is the exact same concert at which "Gimme Chocolate!!" (the version that went viral) was performed. I really, really would like to see your reaction to this. You´ll have your mind BLOWN, I promise! No, there´s no pop in that version, it´s even more heavy than the version you used for this reaction. No joke, they did this song even heavier when they were much younger! You will love it! Every aspiring Death metal band would kill to be put in the position to do a show of such quality in front of about 9000 people, if I remember the number correctly.

Recommendations for next Babymetal song? Bad ass heavy new music, new album: Divine Attack, Maya. New FUN and heavy music: METALI, Papaya. Music with deep meaning: Monochrome(new), Megitsune (older). Fun but heavy older music: Catch Me If You Can (very Slipknoty), Yava ( ska metal?) Ethnic sounding and unique: Shanti Shanti Shanti(Indian metal?), Metalizm (Arabian metal?), Night Night Burn (Flamenco metal?), Oh Majinai (Celtic/Pirate metal?), Tales of the Destinies/The One (Prog metal). Take your pick.

they are a constant surprise. Without an open and curious mind, you will not enjoy the rest of their work. Nonetheless, it's always metal. I recommend you next watch their performance from eight years ago of Road of Resistance

For those who say BABYMETAL is not metal, I present you with BABYMETAL Death.😉 OTFGK, but an interesting take posted on BABYMETAL REDDIT by VulpineDeity: Take it a step farther. Not only does 'SU-METAL DESU' mean she's introducing herself, it's also her super-hero transformation phrase. Like on Sailor Moon, Usagi says 'Moon Prism Power!' and turns into Sailor Moon, Suzuka Nakamoto shouts 'I AM SU-METAL' and becomes possessed by the spirit of the Fox God and transforms into the Metal Goddess SU-METAL. The magical girl who transforms into a hero is a huge trope in Japan, comparable to Disney princesses in the west. BABYMETAL DEATH! follows the trope and it's the moment that they all transform into their magical alter egos at the start of the show. 🦊 🦊 🦊 🖖 ❤

According to your taste I would guesd Songs like Distortion or Maya might fit but otherwisecI would say no. They are more destinedcforvMicxes you might try some of theirvCollabs like Kingslayercwith Bring me zhe Horizont or "Leave it all behind" with F. Hero and Bodyslam. Zhey are simply bigger. They are the International most succesful japanese Band. Their fans are to 40% female and all ages between 5 and 85.. Since they are much langer than Babd Maid they don't care of they are sble to fill 6000 seltsam within 4 days that is enough for them.

🤘🦊🤘 #notacult

Nice reaction. And that's how you open a show when you're Babymetal. There's an actual heavier version of this that they did for the ten years of Babymetal shows. All that just to introduce themselves. LoL. There are a lot of reasons why over the last 10 years that they have been thought of as one of the best live shows to experience. One of them is this song. The sacrifice that was made was their JPOP careers. And many of us are glad they did. Now they have a career that can last as long as they want to continue doing it. Unlike pop music where after a while the fans are looking for the next best thing. And in Japan for the most part those POP careers only last about 5 years. There are always exceptions to the rule but for the most part that's how it goes. But Metal is different. They have visited many genres of metal in their songs. some you'll like, others not so much but then you'll find one that sticks with you. The foxhole is deep and full of surprises. you may even be surprised which songs are the ones that stick with you.

And yes, they have in their Baxkground their Background musicians like in this case the Kami Band West and their true default Bamd, since they know who their stage director is, and they accept zhat she is female.

If you like clean vocals and great music, BabyMetal is a band you will enjoy, but if you only like harsh,scremo vocals, maybe not . I am an old metalhead fan of Judas Priest Iron Maiden and other early Metal/Rock bands . i got sick of hearing harsh scremo type vocals all the time in later years of metal and lost interest in the metal scene . Heard BabyMetal years ago, probably the same time as you . Luckily, i checked a few more songs out and loved them being a fan ever since they got me back into metal again . They get a lot of hate from Metal Elitists at the begaining and still do, but not as much . If you have people like Rob Halford perform on stage with you and tour with RHCP, Korn , Guns and Roses, and Judas Priest and count Cory Taylor and Rob Zombie among your fans i think i take their opinions over any Elitist this what metal should be opinions. Surrgest you try something of their 4th album like Divine Attack or Mirror Mirror and definitely live. That is where they shine 😁 wil you venture into the foxhole ? Only the foxgod knows 🤣😁🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼

No, it is their default starter. The reason behind it is that zhey use by Default Stage Persona. Then you have to know that they sing in japanese , so death is in fact desu ( to be) so what they sing is ("I am Su-Metal" .. "We are Babymetal"). By the way #notacult. But they crucify only at certain dates, like the 16th birthday of their lead singer.

🤘🦊🤘 #notacult

Hi from Ireland, yes and unusual first choice but epic, you have been missing out, but loads to catch-up on, so have fun. I suggest some recent like the pia 2023 shows, monochrome live at pia, road of resistance and megitsune, you will be well and truly entertained, then go to older ones, and solos, I say this because a few older more popy ones may mislead you. The latest album the other one is a good guide for recent performances, I subscribed in hope of more babymetal 😊

Judging BABYMETAL by a few songs is difficult, because they cover such a wide range. What you have just seen is just as much a part of their catalogue as what you have probably seen ten years ago. So if you expect them to sound like this now, you are probably going to be disappointed. Their sound has matured, but not changed completely. The cute elements have been toned down, but they are not gone. They aren't any more "vanilla" Metal than they have ever been. Mind you, I'm not trying to turn you off. They are still the most entertaining band ever, and I have never loved any band more than I love them. But most people who didn't like them ten years ago are unlikely to like them now. But don't take my word, please try for yourself. "Monochrome" or "Divine Attack" may be a good start to dip into their more recent songs, but as I said, it's just one of many facets to their sound.

This is how good Babymetal is....they are still poppy but if they wanna summon the metal GODS......they do it just as good as the best of them in metal music..REACT TO BRING ME THE HORIZON FT BABYMETAL : KINGSLAYER LIVE TOKYO ....It goes hard in the screaming and def Babymetal brings ut

as an old-school metalhead myself, i'd point you to _Road of Resistance_ (co-written with Herman Li of Dragonforce) , _Headbanger_ , and, ngl, _Monochrome_ (either the OMV or the live version , *_and then_* you might check out the piano version ... in all cases, just make sure to have the CC turned on). I assume that the thing you saw 10+years ago was _Gimme Chocolate_ .... it's a lot of fun once you get properly initiated , as is _Catch Me if You Can_ 😂 (and then for _super_ ironic fun, _Doki Doki Morning_ 🤣) and at some point, you have to see the "Legend 1997" live version of _Babymetal Death_ ... Most.Metal.Thing.EVAR. they also have loads of poppy stuff, to try to get as wide of an appeal as possible, and also still trying to figure out this brand new genre that they just invented ("Kawaii Metal"). others will be more than happy to flood you with all the history and lore.

Apropos poppy. It might have been Babymetal you saw several years ago. A bit depending on what song you listen to, it can be a bit poppy. The girls do not growl. They have higher pitch voices, even though Su, the main vocal, is a bit lower than common for Japanese women. The band is hard though. Very hard. In the earliest performances is was a fake band with skeleton masks. Later it has ben mostly the Kami Band. In the beginning they were white painted and in white robes. But, around 2019 or so they started to wear masks. I liked the white paint better, but the masks makes it possible to do a trick - have different musicians when out on tour, depending on where they play. I saw them in Stockholm and they had huge hairy arms. Did not look Japanese at all 😃

There is one song that you will have to react to at least 3 times.... Headbangeeer!!! Live at Legend 1997 (2013) This is the live version of the original at Su-metal's sweet 16 celebration. Headbangeeer!!! Live at Legend M (2019 a.k.a, Moabanger) Moametal sings lead the second half for her 20th Birthday Headbangeeer!!! Live at Legend MM (2024, a.k.a, Momobanger) Momometal sings lead the second half for the last night of her 20th before her 21st birthday. Every version is different and special and worthy of a separate reaction. There is also a "Yuibanger" for original member Yuimetal's 15th birthday on 2014, but only fan-cam recordings, no HQ Pro-shots like the others.

For me, this is their best era, when they were, “Baby” and Metal. (they have many interesting and headbanger songs ) Now is more like POP with elements of Metal, and not babies anymore. This song IS precisely from that era of BabyMetal, but the performance is actual. By the way, you reacted to this version, but there’s a more creepier and theatrical one, I really recommend that one to see on you own time or if you want to react to that version and share it, that’s great with me. See you!!

The are just sayin - hello we are Babymetal. Hi, I am Moa. Hi, I am Su. Hi I am Momoka. They are just presenting themselves, before the actual show begins. The secret is that Des in Japanese means "I am" or "We are". And Des sounds a bit like Death for a Japanese. So, "Babymetal Death" means "We are Babymetal". And when the crowd chants "death death death death ..." they really are chanting "they are, they are, they are ..." You are right thought that they are spelling to BABYMETAL twice.

Very cool! You might like to watch the version of this song on the show "Legend 1997", in 2013. Su was turning 16 years old, at that time Yui and Moa were 14 years old. Enjoy Babymetal!🤘🦊🤘

There are two things nobody ever expects: 1. The Spanish Inquisition 2. Babymetal (or what they will do next. You cannot predict it). Welcome to the wonderful world of happy metal that is BABYMETAL! 🤘🦊🤘 Babymetal Death is simply three sweet young ladies introducing themselves to the audience while getting a warm-up before the rest of the show. The backing band are session musicians who support them at live shows. They are called the Kami Band (Kami meaning god or spirit) The original Kamis were some of the finest musicians in Japan. There is now a Western Kami Band composed of American musicians, mostly members of the Star Wars themed metal band, Galactic Empire (who you saw in this video hidden by the metal masks). The Foxhole runs long and deep despite their short 14 year career and BABYMETAL as young teenagers were the trailblazers that opened up the international market for all those other Japanese girl bands you mentioned (and those bands will acknowledge it). Kitsune Da O! 🤘🦊🤘

Babymetal Ijime Dame Zettai live at Sonisphere 2014

#notacult

This group is just astonishing (the "death" routine is kind of a play on words ( "desu" specifically - which is I think pretty much the verb "to be")- it's not really about that, but more of an introduction ), there aren't enough superlatives to describe this group and all who support them (including their fans) - but they revived my interest in music after about 15 years. More please - and preferably LIVE but NOT generally "official" (misses intros, often the band, is often studio over concert etc etc), as they are primarily a live band. Great reaction to an early track, and welcome to one of the few groups who created their own genre and are still unsurpassed after 14 years.

Based on what you said about how you like your metal I would recommend Rondo Of Nightmare, Karate, Sis. Anger, Tales Of The Destinies, Kagerou, Starlight, Mirror Mirror, MAYA, and Believing. BABYMETAL can't really be pinned down into one style or genre but I think those songs have at least some of the sludge that you're looking for. I always recommend looking for a live version of their songs though. Their live performances always elevate their songs.

Thanks for this reaction, it was great to watch! The song you saw was almost certainly "gimme chocolate" from the "legend 1997" concert - it refers to (1997 birthyear) and was performed on Su-Metal (lead singer) 16th birthday near the start of the setlist. That concert is formatted as a rock-opera starting with much more pop influence, transitions to more and more metal as it goes, until it ends with "Babymetal - Death" in perhaps their most iconic performance of the song. That video went viral 10y ago (200m views now?) and was one of the earliest boosts to the band. I saw "gimme chocolate" around the same time you did, it was fun and unique but didn't hook me. a couple of years ago "Babymetal - Road of Resistance (Live in Japan)" popped up on my feed and it hooked me like this performance hooked you. I haven't stopped finding as much of their live performance work as I can since then, and they are just amazing. Hope to see more!

Welcome to FOXHOLE You are on the edge of the abyss and there is no escape this is for those who say that Babymetal is not metal 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 #notacult

Hahahaha! "Did Satan just come out of her"? Lol No, but SuMetal came out of her. Babymetal Death basically is the death of their Jpop formal selves to be reborn into SuMetal, MoaMetal and MomoMetal of BabyMetal. If you notice the crowd cheering louder when MomoMetal introduces herself (MomoMetal Desu) it's because she was formally introduced as the offical third member after YuiMetal left in 2017 (formally announced in 2018) it had been six years before a third member was announced. After Yui left they did not play this song again until MomoMetal, which you are witnessing in this performance. There is ofcourse some details I'm leaving out but in a nutshell, this is my short explanation. Welcome to the Foxhole! Watch Babymetal Death from 2013, Legend 1997 (the year SuMetal was born) concert. The Yui Era when they were still tweens. Epic! Delve deep into the Foxhole and discover the original Kami band, three little girls who changed the face of metal, their Sakura Gakuin days, the Fox God, The One, thier constant message of always overcoming obsticals of whatever life throws at you, etc, etc, etc.... obsess and enjoy the beauty of BabyMetal. You might even realize Why we call SuMetal, The Queen.
