They are playing tag and hide & seek with a demon. The demon's voice is saying "Are you ready?" and girls respond "No, not yet." Keep in mind that demons in Japan are not always evil.

I really need to look up their lyrics - I love stuff like that

[@javersongoulartfilho9439]

Hi! Why is it assumed to be a demon? I don't know their culture and meaning behind songs, would like to know more.

[@jackfrost7543]

@@javersongoulartfilho9439 I believe it's assumed to be a demon due to the use of the phrase "Oni-san". Oni being demons (Or at least demon adjacent) in japanese lore. Plus I'm pretty sure that's part of the culture of their version of tag. You aren't "it", you're "The Oni", hunting little children.

Best reaction I have ever seen! Yes, BABYMETAL always brings a smile to your face. ALL their songs are positive. They fixed my half-year pet loss (of a 18 year old dog) and now I have 16 live Blu-rays, changed out my entire audio system just to see their performances. My first live was in Japan this January, and people around me were either smiling and jumping, or were in tears throughout the performance. That is what they do.

There's an anime movie called KakuRenbo where kids are running through an abandoned part of a city at night, wearing fox masks, trying to outrun demons. As they're picked off, one by one, the city starts coming to life, and in the end its revealed that the city is powered by the souls of children. The last kid standing is then possessed by the fox spirit and goes around recruiting more kids to play the game.

[@Subjectivity13]

Everybody gangsta until those girls come out. I've seen them once in NYC, and they are even smaller than they look. 5'0" is smaller than I expected, but they're also like 90 pounds, if that, so it makes them look even smaller. I'm about to see them a second time for the Babyklok tour with Dethklok, which is a dream match for me. If you'd like to keep going, and I hope you do, Headbangerrrrr live at Legend 1997 is a great performance, as well as Ijime Dame Zettai live at Sonisphere 2014. Babymetal are the perfect example of something that can only come out of Japan.

[@nothsor]

your reaction seems typical the first time people see/hear Babymetal. As stated, they have been around since 2010, just released their fourth studio album and have a library of about 60 songs. The performers are Su-Metal (Song/Dance), Moa Metal (Scream/Dance) and Yui Metal (Sceam Dance. Scream/Dance thing of cheerleaders. They do add harmonies to some of the songs and have four songs they due as a duo, but mostly are there to get the crowd into the song. Su is currently 25. Moa and Yui are 23, though Yui left the group in 2018 citing health issues and was just recently replaced by 20 year old Momo Metal. This particular song is about playing a game of hide and seek/tag with an Oni (ogre). It;s based on Japanese lore. All of there songs are different. One may be power metal, one is rap/hip hop, the next may sound like it's out of a Bollywood movie. To mirror others here, if you wish to continue your journey down the fox hole I;d suggest Road if Resistance (Live in Japan), Ijime, Dame Zettai from Sonisphere (a show which put them on the international map), Headbanger (Legend 1997 the day after Su turned 16). BTW, if you didnt notice early on, they werent doing the "traditional" Devils Horns associated with metal shows, it's a shadow Fox (Kitsune) all of their lore and directions come down from "The Fox God"

You're definitely over sharing here, but it is a fact that Baby Metal has been around for quite a while. Feels disingenuous to react to them in surprise at this point, but even if this a first time listen it's like... ok, but you've had well over a decade. Uploader has likely heard them many times, and if they haven't, it's a case of not paying attention at all.

Great first reaction and welcome to the BABYMETAL Foxhole.🦊 'Catch Me If You Can' is the best metal song about playing a game that's a sort of cross between tag, blind man's bluff and hide & seek I've ever heard. It is the perfect mix of the two extremes with the brutal instrumentals and the sweet vocals - and the game they are playing, they're playing with an Oni 👹(a sort of Japanese ogre popular in regional festivals and used specifically to frighten children ... which amuses me probably more than it should). The growling vocals (they are on a backing track) are the Oni👹 asking things like "Are you ready?" and the best response has to be "Maada da yo" (No, not yet) while doing a running away from an Oni dance.🏃‍♀🏃‍♀🏃‍♀👹 This was a compilation video with clips from 10 different concerts from 2013 through to 2017. There is a video from the live performance at Budokan , Black Night 2014 that has subtitles if you want to watch that as well. The Kami Band are the instrumentalists supporting BABYMETAL - in this they were just doing one of their intros - its only fair they get their chance to show off during the shows and there are two or three other songs where they would do an instrumental intro like this. In order of solos in this video they were - Mikio Fujioka (RIP January 2018), Takayoshi Ohmura, BOH on the bass and Hideki Aoyama on drums. You already have good suggestions for more songs - I will add a vote for the Legend 1997 live 'Headbanger' ... you can find that on Gans Tomas or abr metal channels.

BABYMETAL TIME HELL YEAH! Welcome to the Foxhole 🦊🤘 BabyMetal is a Japanese metal dance unit created in 2010 under another Jpop/Jrock idol group called Sakura Gakuin, they were 11 and 12 years old when they first started. They created their own genre called kawaii-metal, mixing Jpop with metal sound and different subgenres along with many more rhythms. They became independent artists in their own right after 2013. They are: SuMetal (Suzuka Nakamoto, lead vocals). MoaMetal (Moa Kichuki, scream and dance) YuiMetal (Yui Mizuno, scream and dance, 2010 - 2018) Yui left the band due to health issues in 2018. MomoMetal (Momoko Okazaki, scream and dance, member since 2023) Catch Me if You Can was released in 2013 - at the time Moa and Yui were 14 and Su was 15. They have since gone on to release four studio albums, the latest of which, The Other One, was released this month. Their sound has matured and grown as they have aged and I urge you to check out some of their later stuff.

⚡ 💀 💕 / 🏃‍♀👹 So this cute song is about playing a game that is like hide-and-go-seek, tag or blind-man's-bluff. Pursued by an "Oni" which is a kind of Japanese Ogre. : ) While Megitsune is still my favorite, I think this is one of their their best early choreographies. If much of their charm is in the blending of the cute and the brutal, this song is a great example. They're all turned up to 11. They performed this song quite a bit in 2017, but not since. The last time I saw this one was in Chula Vista, California when they were on tour opening for Korn on the Serenity Of Summer tour. Here's 'Rondo of Nightmare', a solo song from their lead singer Su-metal (Suzuka Nakamoto, or just "Su") with a short instrumental lead-in by their live Kami Band: kzbin.info/www/bejne/boildZyCgrONmac This Budokan Black Night performance from 2014 is a classic.

I'm gonna left my own suggestion so you can enjoy the best way to experience your journey into BM world. Hopefully you will hear some more songs from them so you can have the chance to meet them live when going on tour in the US and many more countries around the world, maybe you won't have some of these older songs but trust me they got more than 60 songs in their catalogue and none of them are bad. Have fun and see you next time 🦊🤘❤️

[@jakemuller8626]

We know Amuse is very hard to deal with copyright blocked issues, fortunately we got a way to go around with *(gonna write the place in my next comment) YT place, you'll get full original clips of their best live performance with watermarked logo safe to react, look for "Future Plans" vid, follow instructions and you'll get all of them, upload the one with the logo for us and you can watch without it, don't worry for us we already saw all of them. You'll find some watermarked clips in the channel also with the description and where to get the non-logo version. If you want you can watch the original clean version and pause whenever you like to say your comment and after that you can put a logo provided in the same place so you can enjoy a clean version from the beginning. You can also put some heavy opacity and translucent effect to avoid those issues if necessary. However there are some safe clips to react like those from Legend 1997 or some of Budokan 2014 or previous to this year and Festivals that is out of reach from Amuse hands. By all means AVOID live compilations at least for first time watching, not saying all of them are bad but chances are you'll end up facing the bad ones bad edited, very confusing, switching costumes and distracting you from the performance and meaning of the song. Also avoid Glastonbury Festival performance, the sound is bad and the crowd isn't the usual fans. Here's some examples of safe to react live performances: - "Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!" live at Legend 1997 (2013, you can find this a "Gans Tomas" or "abr metal") or live at Legend I (2012). - "Rondo Of Nightmare" with Mischiefs Of Gods Intro live at Budokan 2014, this one normally is safe to react without any filters. ("Kawaii Metal" got this) - "Catch Me If You Can", you got live at Budokan 2014 with subtitles version at GuilhermeCait. - "Ijime Dame Zettai" live at Sonisphere Festival 2014 (lately hasn't been so safe, so careful) - "Karate" live at Download Festival 2016 ("kitsune6001" got this one) - Distortion, live at Download Festival 2018 or Rock Am Ring 2018, official got the Download version and is safe to react. If you follow this step by step you won't have blocked issues the majority of times, but sometimes there has been issues with certain songs so if you got those try to put opacity, blur or translucent effect, that might help a little bit. Thanks for sharing your BabyMetal reactions and reading this humble recommendation. 🦊🤘

OMG thank you for that reaction. You put a smile on my face watching your jaw hit the ground lol. I had a smile on my face the whole time watching you trying to comprehend what the heck you were hearing and seeing. That was great. So I read the comments from the, what I'd call the "leaders" of the Babymetal fans, Grington300 300, Rick Wagner, and Jake Muller. I'll fill in a bit more info for you. If you're interested, you can continue reading, if not, then no worries lol Babymetal was formed in 2010. The entire concept was formed around the main singer, Su-Metal. Su was born in 1997 (thus the Legend 1997 people are asking you to react to next as her birthday was around the time they performed that concert). The other 2 girls who do backup vocals and dancing were born in 1999. So they were performing in huge venues like you saw in that compilation from the time Su was 15+ and the 2 dancers were 14+. As I mentioned, the main singer's name is Su-Metal (Suzuka Nakamoto if you'd like her full name). She'll always perform in a Ponytail, and she'll almost always have the hand mic. The 2 dancers are named Moametal and Yuimetal (Moa Kikuchi, and Yui Mizuno respectively). Both girls will always have pigtails. To tell them apart, look at their cheeks. Moa has huge dimples when she smiles and Yui has chubby baby cheeks. Also, Yui's pigtails stick out more as I think she has curlier hair than Moa does. In 2018 Yui had to leave Babymetal due to medical reasons. To fill in that gap Babymetal introduced what they called the Avengers. 3 girls would take turns filling in Yui's spot in dancing but wouldn't ever sing. You can tell you're watching an avenger and not Yui or Moa as they won't have a ponytail or pigtails, but instead will have their hair down and will have buns where the pigtails would have been. There is also subtle differences between the outfits of Moa and the Avengers. Su has a different outfit as well. They are all very similar, but they do have differences. Babymetal is HUGE on details, which, the more you watch, the more you'll realize. As of a couple of weeks ago, Babymetal announced that they had found a replacement to finally fill in the spot left behind by Yui. The replacement ended up being one of the Avengers. Her name is Momometal (Momoko Okazaki). She's the youngest of the trio being born in 2003. I don't have a good way as yet to tell you how to tell her apart from Moa if you can't figure it out except to say to look at her ears. She has attached ear lobes. That's the best I got right now as during concerts they typically only focus the cameras on Moa and Su and the avengers would receive very little coverage. Anyhow, that's a quick rundown of the girls. The song headbanger that people are suggesting you react to is part of a trilogy (there is a lot of lore with this band). So the girls originally were training to become JPop artists. Su was taken from that route and introduced to metal. From her description during interviews, she had never heard of Metal music before and when she first heard it she had a similar reaction to metal as to what you had to their music based on her description. Eventually though she came to appreciate it and even like it. So the song headbanger is a song about a girl going to her first metal concert. The next song of that trilogy is called Akatsuki Unfinished (there is also the "finished" version which is just called Akatsuki). Akatsuki unfinished was only performed the one time as far as I know. It is a song where she is preparing to end her life as a JPop idol to become the metal goddess. Lastly you have Babymetal Death. This is a song where she is transformed into the metal goddess Su-Metal and Suzuka Nakamoto is no more. There is one other trilogy that Babymetal has, and that is referred to as the Trilogy of Light. It is believed by most of us fans to be a trilogy referring to the death of the lead guitarist and the departure of Yuimetal (they both happened in 2018 months apart from each other, so pretty close to each other). The 3 songs are the different stages of grief. The songs are entitled Starlight for the first song, Shine (my favorite Babymetal song I think), and Arkadia is the last song. The last thing I'll say here is that when you look up the lyrics you'll find that most of the songs have a positive message, although some songs, like this one, are just silly songs that are fun. Gimmie Chocolate is another silly song. That being said, Su has stated that for the most part she doesn't really care if people don't understand the lyrics of the song. She'd rather you can FEEL the music and the meaning. She takes her singing very seriously and tries very hard to convey the emotion when it is called for. It is something she has gotten very good at doing too. So hopefully that helps you out a bit and hopefully you enjoy your journey down the foxhole! Oh incidentally, the people in the crowd are now making the devil's horns like you thought. They were doing a fox sign (they look similar), which Babymetal made up instead.

Babymetal cures depression

[@derwolf9670]

Nothing like your first Babymetal experience! More of the ladies, please

[@andrewdash5487]

Hi. When you said this was a total blind reaction I literally did this 🫣 lol. I’m happy you like them! Hey, when you need a coffee and don’t want to wait, just throw on a Babymetal song. It will help you move twice as fast at everything 🤣

[@honorarythamesman5732]

😂 I came to you and subscribed through Nightwish originally and am so happy you've covered Babymetal. I'm 55 and have seen most major bands in 40 years of going to concerts including the famous Queen gig at Wembley Stadium in 1986 and Babymetal definitely does not disappoint - I've been lucky enough to see them twice here in London pre Covid and am really happy to say that I'm going to see them at Wembley Arena this coming Saturday as special guests of Sabaton (not sure if you've got to Sabaton yet?) 🎉🎉😊😊 Babymetal are too easily judged by some blinkered metal heads - because they can't appreciate that it's not just a concert, it is a whole encompassing performance experience. I hope you do more from them - you won't be disappointed 😊 Take good care of yourself 😃

Babymetal: The only metal group in the world that puts an ear-to-ear grin on your face and makes you want to dance. I love them immensely.

[@crematetheworld]

I hope you love BandMaid.

[@1MarkKeller]

AMEN!

[@robertpopa2628]

No first time watcher expects babymetal. They're kinda lika a cat that decides to adopt you, one day, they're just there

[@thisguyny8379]

Welcome! Next songs, in no particular order - Road to Resistance, Gimme Chocolate, Megitsune, Karate. I LOVE this band.

[@majorxdf]

Found these girls by accident, and they ROCK!

[@outwest1014]

The are monstrously huge - First Japanese Band to perform in Wembley Arena, London; in 2019 performed at the LA Forum sold-out and sold-out the Tokyo Dome 2 nights running, different show each night, Dome capacity 55,000. They will be on tour in the US this year. NEXT - "Monochrome", Lyric version and The First Take piano version. May need a hankie for the piano ver.

[@jongreen1812]

See these guys this weekend with Sabaton, can’t wait

[@vindrow]

Gonna be seeing them in October here in Los Angeles , and I can't wait....it's going to be awesome.

[@TheBelegurx]

That was a fun reaction. It is lovely when Babymetal catches someone off guard, lol. My fav Babymetal songs are DISTORTION, SYNCOPATION, and the best thing they ever made, imho, PA PA YA. That song is just so freakin amazing, and gives such a powerful vibe, you will just want to go out and run a marathon.

[@nishidohellhillsruler6731]

Nobody is ever ready for their first encounter with Baby Metal 😅

[@loudwirefarm5795]

This song is about them playing a version of hide and seek with an Oni. aka A Demon.

[@mikepiccione886]

Excited to see them in philly September 12th😊

[@bman68au]

Your reaction is the same as mine when I first saw them on YT (Gimme Chocolate). I was like seriously WTF did I just watch!? 6 months later and I have tickets to see them headline on their world tour here in Melbourne this June. They are freakin' awesome. I've gone full-on down the foxhole 🤘🏻🦊

[@theblackofnight]

There is nothing like watching what they do live. Friggin' amazing.

[@BoboftheOldeWays]

Welcome to the Foxhole! I am subscribing just for Babymetal. I loved your reaction! You went through the entire Babymetal reactor character arc in just one video! The arc is: - Act 1: WTF am I watching? - Act 2: Wait, OK, I ... I think I like this? - Act 3: ALL HAIL THE FOX GOD! Most reactors take several videos to complete this journey. You obviously have more discerning ears and eyes.

[@paulythebirdmanPaulManalatos]

LOL, I felt the same way when I first heard Baby Metal. It was fun seeing you enjoy them too. Have a nice day : )

[@DougguoD]

4:00 OK, the stunned silence was VERY entertaining 😄👏🏻

[@harleyprocell3864]

Has to be the most genuine smile I have seen on KZbin in a long long time !

[@bobbyc3895]

It's amazing how well this works. I've seen the audience for their shows is a mix of K-pop and Metal fans, all getting along and just loving this stuff. It is one of the most positive groups ever.

[@-apple-4848]

聴衆のほんどは、 「K-POPファン」ではなく、 正しくは、 「J-POPファン」と「メタルファン」の混合ですね・・・

[@emb5091]

Great first reaction! 🤘🦊🤘Thank you for giving BABYMETAL a chance!!! BABYMETAL started back in 2010 and since then have performed with, toured with, or opened for Metallica, Korn, Sabaton, Bring Me The Horizon, Dragonforce, Guns N' Roses, Lady Gaga, Rob Halford of Judas Priest (there's a great youtube video of their performance with Rob at a metal award show), and Red Hot Chili Peppers (there is a youtube video of them performing Gimme Chocolate with RHCP, as well as with Korn, and DragonForce), to name a few of many. They have performed at large metal events/concerts in front of 65,000+ skeptical metalheads in Europe (Glastonbury, Download, Sonisphere, etc), US, and Asia. They are the first Japanese band to perform at Wembley arena in the UK. 20+ awards have been given to them. They have 60+ songs and each one is different from the other, so I hope you give the other songs a try. By the way, they have some really great heavy songs too, and I hope you like guitar solos, as well as bass and drum solos, like I do, because they have them too.🤘🦊🤘

[@luislandino9247]

You are a disciple from the FoxGod sent to spread the word of babymetal Babymetal 💕 🤟

[@chaosreign7851]

[@Slytherkins]
