Babymetal & Chad Smith 2016 / Su-metals birthday

[@baumi-metal9123]

I just LOVE those little moments when Su-Metal disappears and Suzuka Nakamoto comes out. Suddenly she's just a "normal" girl havin fun.

[@ronbo11]

That is wonderful. These 3 young ladies (and now the Avengers who take turns doing Yui's part) are so talented, well coached and professional, but they are innocents too which blows everyone's minds.

[@charlesedwards2856]

PrepsterM technically it wasn’t her first time at a metal concert, it is more a general song for girls who might be going to their first metal concert. The song is about going to the concert on a 15th birthday, which is a very significant birthday in Japan. You have to remember, by the time she was 15, she had headlined metal concerts in Asia and opening for a couple of big metal bands there, too. Plus that song came out when she was 14, so it couldn’t be autobiographical.

[@thecameraman8882]

Isnt that the same person?

[@benlunch7618]

​@@thecameraman8882 Yes but its not the same Persona. Her stage-persona is professional and under control. Her off stage persona is less controlled and more spontanous, specially when speaking english.

When Su-Metal is on stage, she looks like the tallest 5 foot person of all time.

She is awesome, she is really tiny but her stage presence is hugeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[@ShikataGaNai100]

HEY! She's 5'1". LOL

[@joelmartincrawford]

Funny but true. When I saw them in Detroit this year I was right down front and was really surprised by how small she really is. But man her stage presence is just towering. She commands the stage and the crowd like few artists I’ve seen, even many of the really big name ones.

[@MikeJones-oe3do]

that means Yui and Moa must be 4'5", they make chad smith look like a 9 foot tall ogre.

[@joelmartincrawford]

Mike Jones Moa is 5ft in her bio info and Su is 5’2”, but we don’t know that for sure.

[@jasonrollins3458]

You know what I love about this video? This might be the only time where Su is actually able to interact with the Kami Band and dance/head bang with them directly while they play. The smiles on all their faces is a great moment.

So cool when she tells the audience they have a beautiful voice after singing Happy Birthday.

[@asilduin4594]

It's so nice to see them relaxed and free to move around and have fun. I do love their choreography (it's an important part of their performance), but it's nice to see this type of performance every once and awhile too!

2:25 If I'm not mistaken, I think that's the highest note Suzuka has ever hit. Jesus, the range on this girl is incredible.

[@evilpikachu2680]

Sumetal looks so happy to be up there singing with no choreography just jumping around doing whatever she wanted. She let Yui, Moa, and the guitar player jump around with her and have fun. Yuimetal seemed shy to be improvising onstage but Moa and the guitar player joined in on the fun without question. It overall just was fun and it would be cool to see Moa and Yui do this song or something else.

[@richardtownsend9107]

Every now and then I have to come back and watch this to reaffirm my faith in Humanity!

[@mr.osclasses5054]

This is a superb choice to do so!

[@Bones12x2]

This video is so great. Its so rare to see such candid stuff from them....doing a non-japanese cover song, fully lit where you can really see them, no choreography, Su freely moving around the stage, Su openly talking to the crowd in a natural way....thats all so rare but wonderful to see. They are so charming. Dont get me wrong, i think the general very scripted approach is important for their performances and I dont mind it mostly. In fact, I dont want them to be like this most of the time, their choreographed shows are special and unique but this stuff needs to be sprinkled in to give fans a taste of their real personality and prescence. it feels like for whatever reason, the BM of 2018 and beyond doesnt believe in being candid and relatable anymore. Literally everything is short, overly scripted, and disconnected from the fans. Videos like this let the fans see them as real people, not robots. It makes them more endearing which actually improves our connection to them when doing their rehearsed and scripted performance. I hope things like this return in 2019.

[@alexthomas3745]

Very well said. That's so true. Scripted choreography is ok for the show (the girls have a top stage presence, dancing, singing and jumping around) but also the genuinity is very important, the improvisation, you know what i mean... Because it shows us all real theirself, how cute and polite they are. That's why Su,Yui and Moa came in our hearts forever. :)

[@VicJang]

2018 was odd indeed, but I'm not blaming any of them for the anomalies, it really was a very tough year for the entire Babymetal team. Can't wait to see Legend M and everything that come after it!

[@TenkaichiBudokaiAnnouncer]

Shut up, Otaku

[@MaskedRiderChris]

I see what you mean, and I agree. I understand why things are scripted with them, and I don't mind it most of the time either. But this was a lot of fun to watch, and yes, it was so cute to watch Suzuka break character and just bop around as she pleased and have fun, and yes, her reaction to the birthday cake and birthday song was just charming!

[@dynamicjaethought7788]

Yes, but you have to understand. That's how it is done in Japan...for all genres. The companies there want the artist they invest money and time into, to be (for lack of a better word) professional. Everything must be done specific and exact. While for fans in western countries (North America and Europe), it seems a bit distant and homogenous. In Japan though, the music industry has certain codes of ethics they have to strictly adhere to... especially in idols culture. Metal and Rock aren't immune to it either, and those are supposed to be two genres that are the least able to be made homogenous.

[@JackisCharming]

I weep for all the parallel dimensions where this never happened and everyone missed out on one of the most precious and wholesome things I've ever seen. 😭

As much as I love the "traditional" Babymetal with the choreography, it's so awesome to see Su, then Moa and Yui just performing with their heart and having fun. I hope Koba lets Babymetal do a little more of that going forward, since Su's English has only improved since this happened three years ago.

[@Alex20114]

That look they give him when he comes out with a freaking cake is great, just pure shock from something you wouldn't necessarily expect on stage of all places, they don't know how to react to it and you can tell it isn't a fake reaction. She must have been overjoyed once the realization hit. Also, did anybody else catch the girls chattering off the microphones that were apparently still live when he first came out? I heard a Sugoi in there, I think it was one of the other two, not Su-metal since she had her mouth covered. 6:26

[@a2zbrandedusa383]

Also at 6:16 Su said Moa because she was definitely in shock and Moa was her go to like wtf is happening. It is so adorable. These girls have experienced so much outside of their culture and things like this that we may take for granted in our culture is a complete shock to their system. Something like this for them would be done in private, not on a stage.

[@ExodusCore]

Another interesting thing that feels weird when you realize it, is that Su is really tiny girl. She always looks so huge next to Yui and Moa, but then when you have her stand next to some other short western people, she is still shorter than them. It is really cute.

[@conniethesconnie]

She is about the same height as Moa and Yui it is just that she wore heals to their flats. The single high ponytail also helped make her look taller.

[@MaskedRiderChris]

I think she's all of 5'2", the last I checked? She's the tall one of the group, too, because the last I heard, Moa was approximately 4'11", but then she's probably grown a little bit since the last I checked on that as well. Either way, yes, seeing them next to big, scary-looking metal dudes, they are TINY.

[@facufeg86]

Will ferrell´s doppelganger is so cool. Seriously, amazing gesture from Chad Freaking Metal! He was about to have a live show with his own band in about an hour.

one of the best parts about this video is seeing how far they have come in appreciating Metal. When they first started out they were very unfamiliar and were shocked by some of the metal they heard. Thisl performance makes me realize that they have come a long way and truly appreciate the genre they have taken on. They are true metal artists.

[@charlesedwards2856]

I love the follow-up to your brief story about them being shocked. When they met Metallica and found them to be so nice and sweet, then were invited to watch the guys play from the side stage and the girls saw that these men who were so lovely to them had flipped into these intense, seemingly angry musicians. That’s when it clicked for them that metal music isn’t about being angry or hurt and screaming all the time, it’s a performance/act/show...something they all knew about doing while in Sakura Gakuin. From then on out, they understood what it was to be a metal band a lot better...they didn’t have to be angry all the time (I think it’s physically impossible for Moa to go more than five minutes without smiling), but they needed to bring it when it mattered. That’s why Su went from the smiley girl in their first couple music videos to being very serious with the death stare that would melt tungsten (yes, I had to look up what metal has the highest melting point for this because, damn it, it’s accurate!) for so long.

He sido metalero toda mi adolescencia y la verdad nunca he dejado de tener mi corazón metalero (claro que sin la fantasía de la adolescencia), pese a que escucho todo tipo de música. Este grupo desde que lo descubrí hace poco, cada dia me encanta mas y me ha hecho tener las ganas de comprar sus discos e ir a sus conciertos. Realmente me encantan por ser tan kawai y tan profesionales, que caramba, quien puede contra algo así. Sino miren a Chad Smith. Obviamente, la producción es top y la banda A1. Las voces, la coreografía y carisma y puesta en escena de las chicas es tambien A1, por eso y mas allá de lo kawai, lo que impacta de las chicas es su enorme profesionalismo. Eso creo que a todos los que las ven y escuchan por primera vez, impacta. Ya se que algunos dirán, que son un producto y si, pero hay productos y productazos, BabyMetal es tremendo producto Made in Japan. Ademas que abre las puertas a conocer su movida musical que esta muy buena. Bien alli con los profesionales japoneses de la música. See youuuuu! jajajajaja love it

[@ExodusCore]

The girls are genuine and they are professionals, but their music is produced. I see no issue with this, but many people are under the opinion that the singers are supposed to have written all the lyrics and composed the songs themselves. But even is so called garagebands, it isn't always the singer that write all the songs nor is it even a case where all the members work together to make a song. Many times it is the drummer or the keyboardist that write the songs or even the guitarist. But these girls are genuine and they are friends. If you look at the small interactions they have that are supposed to be hidden from the audience, how they play practical jokes on one another and what not, while that stuff theoretically _could_ have been produced considering how hidden it is from view it seem very unlikely.

[@Grington300]
