Su's bangs has more talent than most pop musicians.

[@nanaseven7_]

rey ?

[@Grington300]

Their very first song - recorded late October 2010 - Su was 12, Yui and Moa were 11. The video was made (on a shoe string budget, they even had to borrow clothes for their costumes) nearly a year later. Doki Doki is onomatopoeic for a fast or excited heart beat. They've woken up late and are in a rush to get ready for school ... all the usual metal themes like what lip gloss to wear, getting their hair straight etc.

[@dracosdiabolis1769]

That's what I was going to say. Look waking up late for school and you rush to get out the door. Lol. When the doom music hits. Lol

[@kryzia-just]

standard metal themes, of course.

[@kryzia-just]

@notwastd what are talking about? all the metal i listen to covers these themes :\

[@dracosdiabolis1769]

@notwastd so what are "metal themes"? if its not just life itself and how you deal with it.

[@kryzia-just]

@notwastd bro,,, do you even listen to metal,,,,, o:

[@scullie69]

This song is lit so is line GJ Rondo of nightmare, Death, shanti shanti shanti Headbanger , Pa Pa Ya. 🤘Babymetal🤘

[@eviemarie73]

I love PA PA YA

[@Pauly24]

This song was their debut single which was released in 2011, so they'd have been 11,12 or 13 when released. Pretty sure Su (the singer) is now 23 and both the dancers are 22 (even though only Moe is still in the band, Yui left in 2018)

[@Jordan-Ramses]

The song was recorded in Oct 2010. The music video was Oct 2011. So they'd be 13/12/12 in the music video. Su is a year and a half older so she's either 1 or 2 years older depending on time of year. She was 2 years ahead in school.

[@martinmetal7481]

@@Jordan-Ramses yes the December Birth date makes it tricky with Su's age 🤘🦊🤘

[@Jordan-Ramses]

@@martinmetal7481 I guess. I don't really have an excuse I have a Dec birthday too. I'm convinced I have the worst birthday ever for a kid. Dec 27. When everyone is exhausted from Christmas and doesn't want to do anything.

[@martinmetal7481]

@@Jordan-Ramses thats a bit of a bummer must take a lot of excitement out of one of them for you . my great niece was born News Year Day . my nieces husband came back home from his job on oil rigs new years eve. My niece baby was not due so she told him to go out with me . Got back home 7am in the morning few minutes after he fell asleep she woke him baby was coming . He had to spend rest of day in the corner of delivery room he had just finnished a 16 hour shift on a oil rig in North Sea before he came home . He had no sleep for 3 days . 🤘🦊🤘

[@0okamino]

@@Jordan-Ramses On the bright side, it means you share a birth month with Su and 8 other Sakura Gakuin members (Airi's is even just the day before yours). It happens to be the most shared birth month in the group.

[@justinfarr4399]

"what the hell is going on" the answer is simply YES

[@Benobot99]

Absolute classic. Do "iine!" next please! (ee-neh) It has Metal, Rap, and Electronica.

[@TheLeomarti]

@notwastd yes there is.

[@TheLeomarti]

@notwastd Indeed they're not a metal band, they're a metal group, or a metal act

[@TheLeomarti]

@notwastd lmao.

[@MacTaipan]

@notwastd Haha, you are trying hard. Still failed. Ring ring ring, wake up.

[@Sp00kyN3rd]

Lol notwastd is pressed 😂

[@charlesmckey5969]

I know how you feel. Something about them is so weird but fun to listen to. Do the LIVE version of Headbanger next, that is probably my favorite song by them.

[@highjynxx]

Oh hell yeah Babymetal is in the rotation. How the hell have you not gone down the Babymetal foxhole yet?!?! Get into it. The girls are 11 for the two back up singer Yui-Metal and Moa-Metal and 13 for the lead singer Su-Metal. They are in their early 20's now. Gimme Chocolate (Live) has to be next or Catch Me If You Can with Kami band intro. You have to see the live show with the incomparable Kami Band.

[@riffgroove]

They were literally babies here. And this song is STILL my ringtone years later.

[@Wolfdancer4859]

Babymetal is definitely one of those bands that, once you've seen them, you'll never forget them. But I think the peanut butter and bacon work pretty good for me! 🤣

[@GenTzu]

@connor guzman: Elvis Presley loved peanut butter and banana sandwiches and I think he was somewhat famous!

[@silly_programme5061]

You're absolutely right that they are simply a quality act through and through. I know there's literally a 0% chance you'll be taking suggestions from the comments, but you should definitely check them out live - that's when they're at their best. Headbanger live at Legend 1997 would be a great start and doesn't get blocked.

[@rajeevmenon769]

You need to listen to their entire discography. Each song sounds different and is unique in their own way. You need to react to their live performances to experience their EPICness. Keep em' coming. You won't be disappointed. They're the most hardworking band out there and also insanely talented. When BABYMETAL was formed in 2010 Su was just 12 and both Moa and Yui 11. Metal Goddess QUEEN SU-METAL ❤️ Metal Princess MOAMETAL 😍 Metal Princess YUIMETAL 😍 Kami Band 🔥 Avengers 😍 ❤️ BABYMETAL ❤️🦊🤘

[@tonythomas2391]

When they were on The Late Late Show with Stephen Colbert a few years ago the whole audience appeared to be Babymetal fans, and there were a lot more outside the studio waiting for them to come out, those girls definitely took over the Big Apple.

[@f1hotrod527]

Yeah, when Colbert announced them to start their song the audience went nuts.

[@johnschultz7765]

Actually, there were only a dozen or so fans that got word leaked from somewhere along the booking chain only a few days ahead. They got there early so they could greet Babymetal at the back entrance and also to get in line in order to get front row seats. Most of the audience had no clue.

[@mickyart]

I'll love this first album forever. The right moment, the perfect time and ages, the energy, the fun. The performances from this early days are phenomenal, and I'm talking about "I,D,Z" period with the Babybones in the back pretending they are playing. I would love to have that time machine and attend at least one of those 3 shows back in 2012 and 2013... and then the Kami band comes into play and it looked like the sky was the limit... the energy!! The sheer energy from these three girls during those first 5 years is insane. Fun fun fun. I love it. And sometimes overlooked is the fact that they were the gates to Japanese music for many.

[@hawaiianrayz]

I love Babymetal and Black Babymetal, and people all around the world love them and metal bands from the 80s love them.

[@linko994]

You have not really experienced Babymetal until you've seen a live video. I would recommend either "Headbanger" or "Catch me if you can - Live at Budokan". With the second one you get an awesome intro of the kami band shredding it out.

[@jamgee4402]

of rondo of nightmare with the into

[@chaosmage1756]

the live performance of Pa Pa Ya is pretty sick too

[@dr0pb34r]

Your description of how you start to like Baby is 100% spot on bro!!

[@akmalfandyansyah6962]

Next Road of resistance babymeyal live

[@sylentlight6771]

Bro, in my younger days I was in a punk band for over 10 years but I gotta confess... BabyMetal is one of my favorite guilty pleasures. I mean, watching the videos makes me feel like I'm instantly on some FBI watch list, but musically and theatrically they are SOOOOO GOOD! The girls AND the musicians are all so extremely talented. No joke their guitarists have more talent in their toenail clippings than I have ever had at all

[@gamerblue]

you definitely need to see them now, especially BABYMETAL - Rondo Of Nightmare - With Mischief Of God Intro

[@jonadabtheunsightly]

This was their first video; at the time, I think they were 14, 12, and 12. This was years ago, however; I think they're all adults now, though being Japanese they won't *look* like adults until they get wrinkles. Personally, I like these early songs best, because they have more of those other-genre influences that made Babymetal unique. If I just wanted to listen to a Japanese metal girls band, I could listen to Yousei Teikoku, or Melt Banana, or a dozen others. But none of those groups do all the crazy stuff Babymetal did in the early days. My favorite song of theirs has always been iine, the second song they released.

[@timberhead2069]

This is why Marty Friedman went to Japan to find his music. And boy, he was not wrong about going there. He found mixed genres that are not played or made in America. He's not wrong about saying metal music shouldn't be satanic or depressing all the time.

[@ATonks-ih6wt]

it's always so entertaining to watch your videos :D lots of love from germany

[@emb5091]

I am a grumpy dude turning 50 years old next month, and EVERYDAY I start my day by listening to BABYMETAL songs to get me hyped up and wake for the day. #notacult 🤘🦊🤘

[@jeffschreifels8651]

Same.

[@MacTaipan]

Welcome back to BABYMETAL, it's been a while! You managed to stumble upon their very beginning. Metal elitists can say all they want, whoever doesn't smile and have a good time while hearing and seeing this must be dead inside.

[@rickwagner-]

⚡ 💀 💕 / 💓 ⏰ "Doki Doki" is supposed to represent the sound of an excited heartbeat. This was their first single, music video, etc. It was this video blowing up on social media that helped BABYMETAL start to go viral, especially outside of Japan. The 'Doki Doki ☆ Morning' DVD single was released October 2011. Suzuka was thirteen, Yui and Moa were twelve. Su is now 23 (24 in December). Yui and Moa are 22. They recorded it a year before that. Their original budget was so small that Su's coat was borrowed from one of the Sakura Gakuin teachers. Moa's shirt was borrowed from Yui, and Yui's from fellow Sakura Gakuin student Raura. The girls taught the skeleton dudes the dance moves themselves. Pretty much everything that followed was because this video unexpectedly blew up.

[@rfyaaful]

haha great reaction, must do another one

[@tobiashofling1389]

babymetal has been in my go-to Spotify list since 2013 or so, when I first heard Gimme Chocolate! I love these girls, and yes, one could argue that they're "factory made" in Japan, but I don't care. the music's always made me happy, and it's been fun tracking how they've evolved over the years.

[@0okamino]

That would have to be 2014, unless you were at _Legend 1997_ (Dec 21, 2013) when the song debuted live. :D

[@tobiashofling1389]

@@0okamino right, since 2014 then. Hence the "or so" in my original comment :>

[@OSENERO]

FOREVER THE ONE 🤘🦊🤘

"The One - Stairway to Living Legend" was released a month ago. It's a stripped down version of song "The One" sung in English no less. Every time I hear it I get chills.

Babymetal is not afraid to mix it up and try new things, You will always end up with peanut butter and bacon. Only thing is they never repeat or get boring every song is a different experience.

[@TheLeomarti]

[@PlezurBazar]

I have listened to BABYMETAL almost every day since I fell in the Foxhole. I watch all the reactors react to BABYMETAL, I suppose as a way of reliving the astonishment of hearing each of their songs the first time. I am definitely a rock and metalhead, play multiple instruments, write and sing, been in pro bands and at 57 years old I am a bit baffled that a band such as BABYMETAL would end up being my favorite band of all time, but they are.. HEADBANGER LIVE! Kitsune Dao!
