Welcome back to BabyMetal's metalverse 🦊🤘🌐 Love this song since i heard the snippets, they're making us clear they're not ashamed of showing their J-pop side a little bit more, at first I thought we would have a live versión but i was wrong. I also love the J-pop sound from 2000 and years after. Anyway here's some info about this song: One of the discovered 10 parallel worlds is "LIGHT AND DARKNESS" and this 4th pre-release digital single “Light and Darkness” centers around this theme. Because light exists, darkness also exists. And because darkness is present, there is also a world that shines. During the night when light and darkness intersect, what we seek after poisoned with darkness awaits a world filled with strong love. As the door opens, is it hope or despair that awaits us? The song expresses the duality in everything and the way things are perceived and interpreted differ depending on each person’s point of view. This was a world premiere at Makuhari Messe 2023 setlist, along with "THE LEGEND", Momoko Okazaki is the third backup dancer and possibly the new official member. Here's the lyrics translated with some help. Thanks for sharing this and being one of the first reacting to this new single. See you next time 🦊🤘❤️ Lyrics : MK-METAL / TAKEMETAL　　 Music : TAKEMETAL Arrangement : tatsuoMETAL 【Lyrics】 Even the reality buried in the snow of sadness Even these hands that have been dyed red by mistakes Take me to oblivion To an ideal world filled with love Open that door Come on Ah, Ah Being poisoned, falling into a dream A night where light and darkness seek and play together Drowning in a sea of ​​rhythm Even my memories are being destroyed This love is strong and strong I'm sure it won't stop This love is strong and strong Never let go Let me out. Let me out. let's jump out hit by the rain of joy Let me go. Let me go. right now Let's dance the night away Take me to oblivion Take off the mask filled with lies Right now Being poisoned, falling into a dream A night where light and darkness seek and play together Drowning in a sea of ​​rhythm Even my memories are being destroyed This love is strong and strong I'm sure it won't stop This love is strong and strong Never let go In the night when sorrow overflows Keep this love warm Open the door now Come on Ah, Ah Even my dreams are poisoned A night where hope and despair seek and play together Ring out forever Even my heart is filled This love is strong and strong I'm sure it won't stop This love is strong and strong Never let go

Love these lyrics! And as usual thank you for what you do 🦊👍

Good reaction. You probably saw I have said this in some other reactions, but I feel this album, concept aside, is highlighting Su-metal's vocals more than anything and possibly more than has been the case in the previous albums - they each had maybe three or four songs that really did that, this one so far every song has done it.

[@react-o-mat]

Thanks! Her voice definately stands out the most in these new songs, but there are still 6 songs left I haven't heard so who knows 😉 Still hoping we'll get a Moa solo song too. 🤞

[@zilch634]

When I heard this song live, I had the same impression as the song Syncopation, a fusion of CITY POP and METAL that was popular in Japan in the 90s. I wonder where the vocalist is taking his breath away, it's a busy song 😁The dancing is beautifully synchronized and combined with the clear voice, it's mesmerizing.😊

[@BadEnd98]

I think this song has better vocal but Synco has much better instrumental and energy overall

[@ChiefAmarr]

That Moa part is very Perfume, 💗 it and💗 the song, Su as always, outstanding, she dont need to be technically monster like Dimash, just feel it! i am happy for the new song!

[@flugelhornoldman1362]

Thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。 I witnessed this performance last month and was mesmerized at the venue. Although I could not digest everything at the live debut, I finally grasped its artistry as a whole by this MV. This song reminds me of something but it is very difficult to explain it. The part with Su's calm voice makes me uneasy about something. The part with her powerful timbre and decisve facial expression together with sharp moves by Moa and Momoko makes me decisive for something. The problem is "what the hell is my 'something' ?" Please stop shaking and teasing my emotions, BABYMETAL! 😡 😄

[@react-o-mat]

Well I cannot tell you what that 'something' is, but Babymetal can play with my emotions all day 😋 🤘🦊🤘

Love the song and courography . Su's vocals and the way they change show how good she has become, and Moa's vocals just add a bit more to song. Both Su's and Moa's vocals go so well together as always . I think people are forgetting it's a concept album, and they said it would be different . 😁🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼

[@react-o-mat]

I should have already learned on Metal Kingdom not to trust these snippets 😅

[@goldalaender]

I love this song, it's a bit different, Babymetal how I love it.

[@react-o-mat]

Exactely! 🤘🦊🤘

[@road-runner]

Great reaction, thanks! Yes, that note on the chorus sounds... different? and surprisingly pleasant. 😁 I actually expected something like this from the snippets... and this is way out of my alley musically. Su's vocals sound great, though. A little bit overproduced for my taste but I can live with it... mainly because this is just a studio recording and we all know that the live audio will be a thousand times better.

[@react-o-mat]

Absolutely! Can't wait for May 15!!!

[@road-runner]

@@react-o-mat May 5th for me!! 😊 The WoWoW streaming of the Makuhari concerts will be on March 25th, though...

[@react-o-mat]

@@road-runner I'll hold of on that. Don't even want to know what songs they will be playing, I think going in blind will make it even more exciting 😁

[@road-runner]

@@react-o-mat You know what? You are totally right. We will experience the new songs' live version live for real.

[@react-o-mat]

@@road-runner 👍

Excelente Momoko Metal ex sakura gakuin y ahora babymetal y saludos desde Lima Perú

[@guybrushthreepwood1519]

It's Babymetal and it's a cool song. The only thing that I noticed with all their new releases is that it seems Moa gets less and less vocal parts. I seriously hope they do feature her more in some other songs. Otherwise it's starting to feel like she's "just" another Avenger. But that's really just a minor personal thing. Still loving Su's singing voice, it's so crisp I can actually make out quite a bit of the lyrics on my own, plus we finally have proof that pop songs really are better with a double bass pedal ;)

[@react-o-mat]

If I could wish for something on this album, it would be a Moa solo song. We'll find out soon I suppose 😉

[@Slytherkins]

🤘🦊🤘

[@Dennis-DK2]

sounds like BABYMETAL could win eurovision 2023

[@react-o-mat]

Either that's meant as a really bad diss, or I should start watching that show again 😅
