BABYMETAL - Doki Doki☆Morning | Suggested Reaction #22

[@donaldballman2825]

If you look up the English lyrics it about getting ready to go to school in the morning

[@gregwolking]

Just FYI, "doki doki" is a Japanese idiom/slang for the sound of a heartbeat.

[@eviljesus84]

Far as I'm concerned, the best part is how they came from that demon summoning magic circle, and that's where they disappeared to, in the end. A ringing endorsement of: "it doesn't matter how cute it is, it can probably still devour your soul"

[@yuibot5998]

Tiny Yui is sooooooooooo adorable

[@agmohdadi]

One of the best thing about BABYMETAL is that we don't even need to understand what they're saying to enjoy their music! Check out their Iine!! Music Video next for more genre blending awesomeness!

[@rickwagner-]

Hi Brayzee! Apologies for the "wall of text", but you asked a lot of good questions. Some folks seem to think BABYMETAL were put together by a huge corporation as a cash grab. Which is a little strange. Metal is still kind of a niche genre. Even more so in Japan. While their parent corporation (Amuse, Inc.) is a big company, BABYMETAL started as a sub-unit (the Heavy Music Club) of Sakura Gakuin, a girls school themed Idol group. Sakura Gakuin is not a big budget project. It provides a place for the members to develop skills in singing, dancing, public speaking, etc. at an age where there are not a lot of jobs. Starting a combination Jpop/Idol and Metal group out of this is about the last thing you would put together is your goal was to cash in. Doki Doki ☆ Morning was BABYMETAL's first single and first music video (released in 2011). The video budget was tiny. Su's coat was borrowed from one of the Sakura Gakuin teachers. Moa's vest was borrowed from Yui, and Yui borrowed hers from fellow student Raura. Somehow this unlikely combination worked, the video started to be shared on social media and it slowly started to blow up. The best English translations are on Du-metals blog site. Here's his page for Doki Doki ☆ Morning: du-metal.blogspot.com/2013/07/doki-doki-morning.html

For a moment I thought this is a great explanation and it is, but I think it's important to mention: the producer was trying to find a project for Suzuka (Su-metal, main vocalist), as a metal head he had probably been playing with the idea of doing something with idols and metal music. But she sings with such power that metal was a great fit for her.

[@davidwitmer3046]

" Wall of text " , very clever . She probably doesn't get it but I do .

[@rickwagner-]

+autohmae That's a good point. Thanks for bringing that up. Su is the foundation the project was built around.

[@autohmae]

+David Witmer she could also surprise you.

[@davidwitmer3046]

That is entirely possible.

[@davidwitmer3046]

Rick Wagner knows more about this group than anyone on the planet , ( good job explaining Rick ) . One other point to mention is that the girls were only 10 and 12 years old when this group was formed . They are now 17 and 19 . All Babymetal songs are good especially live . Great reaction , hope to see more .

[@ReklawLah]

This is the first Babymetal video most of us saw. Blew my mind at the time, I didn't really understand it, but I loved it.

[@estoy1001]

Their lyric content tends to be about some mundane things made a bit exciting. Doki Doki Morning is about the rush to get ready for school in the morning, with a bit of hope about the oncoming day & the future in general (Doki-Doki=Exciting, hurry-hurry). They don't write their own songs (with one exception - 4 no uta), which isn't that unusual in music anyway. The lyrics tend to sometimes mix Japanese slang/everyday usage with English, along with some nonsense syllables (see Gimme Chocolate!) Other song content includes - Bubble gum (Awadama Fever), going to your first concert when you've turned 15 (Headbangyaa!), getting your dad to pay for things & give you money (Onedari Daisakusen), playing kids games (Catch Me If You Can), going to a slumber party with friends (Uki Uki Midnight), the role of women in Japanese society (Megitsune), bullying (Ijime, Dame, Zettai), and fan unity (The One). It's pretty diversified, and if you need lyrics & translations to specific songs, I'd be happy to post some. You should check out Karate if you haven't already. Finally, if you think you'd like to learn Japanese, and you want to learn using BabyMetal as a gateway, might I suggest Duane Metal? kzbin.info/door/eeYFENBJY0_aTEa1r-FjMAvideos He's a rabid metal & BabyMetal fan, and also a Japanese linguist. BTW, welcome to the BabyMetal rabbit hole:)

[@aroraborealiss77]

Again, I haven't seen such a perfect reaction video of Babymetal in such a long time. Nice green screen background of Babymetal....nice big video of the Music Video in the video lol...and your open-mindedness....the best of all PERFECT AUDIO NOT BLOCKED OR REMOVED! Lol If you keep making much more reaction videos of Babymetal (Official Videos and a bunch of different live performances of the songs) then you've got yourself a new subscriber in me 😊

[@robharwood3538]

Great reaction, Brayzee. I especially like how you talk a bit about what you liked and why; many other reaction channels just react during the song and then go "Hope you liked the reaction, bye!" For me, reactions to Babymetal are all about what goes on in the person's mind during and after the performance. So I'm glad you add your thoughts into the mix afterwards. I will just leave you with this: There is so much Babymetal stuff to react to, but it doesn't *really* matter what order you do them in; the fact is, the more you learn about them, the more you'll love them, so any order will work for you. Babymetal has constantly surprised us fans for years now. So much variety, so much energy, so much talent and hard work, so much fun. You'll be constantly surprised. And yes, they get cuter in every video, regardless of which order you watch them. lol :-D

[@Singulitarian]

This is their first music video. The first album, BABYMETAL, is more fun energy, the second, Metal Resistance, is more exploratory and metal. If you want to see some crowd reaction, check out Road of Resistance. If you like production values, check out Megitsune.

[@ShikataGaNai100]

"Imananji" translates to "What time is it?"

[@johnrotuno1077]

Nice Job, brayzee! I Just Discovered your Channel today. I see the usual cast of characters in the comment section representing THE ONE! Keep up the nice work, Brayzee. We LOVE having you with us.

[@BinboOtaku]

Yes! So glad to see you do another BABYMETAL reaction! If you do another, I humbly request that you give "Megitsune" a look.

[@rickwagner-]

+BinboOtaku I can only second this. Megitsune is my jam. Still my favorite BABYMETAL song, music video and choreography.

[@0okamino]

Yeah, I'd say _Megitsune_ as well, before jumping to anything on _Metal Resistance._ It seems considerably less sugar-coated than _Gimme Chocolate_ and _Doki Doki Morning._

[@ctarsund]

BinboOtaku ☺you missed your own unintended pun.

[@sundevilkevin]

For translations of their songs this is the best site: du-metal.blogspot.ca/2013/09/song-list.html

[@RODRIEUROMANIAKO]

this babymetal cure depressions

[@rednab2001]

You definitely need to jump down the Sakura Gakuin rabbit hole. It does bring into perspective exactly why the girls are so incredibly professional at such an early age. My two favorite songs are "Song for Smiling" and "Heart no Hoshi" (without Sue-metal as she had already graduated.) All the episodes of their TV show are available to see also and are really super cute. And lastly, watch the video of Moa's speech at Sue's graduation....word of warning....bring lots of tissue....if you don't cry watching this, you have a heart of stone.

[@gravenwolf6535]

I suggest you react to the following Baby Metal songs. -Road to Resistance -Karate -Amore -Akatsuki -Megitsune -Syncopation -Tales of the Destiny -The one -No rain no rainbow -Headbanger -Sis anger There you go Brayzee at least these are the most famous BM songs. Have fun listening to them.

[@azazelazazel742]

Babymetal started as a Sakura Gakuin sub-unit. If You like j-pop/j-rock, You should definitely check them out too.

[@doobiejones9388]

Love Babymetal. Do Road to Resistance or One. It's in English. Band Maid is my favorite Japanese band. Play their instruments. Write most of their own stuff. Don't let me down in English. Most of the rest part of chorus is in English. That was fun thanks. 😊

[@ShikataGaNai100]

Yui and Moa were 11 when they recorded this...Su was 12.

[@GoDrex]

Babymetal is an addiction

[@Brayzee]

Yes it is :) :)

[@tawnkuimi-uru7212]

"Road Of Resistance"...enough said.

[@LightSoundGate]

Please watch: Megitsune, Syncopation, Ijime Dame Zettai, Headbangya, Tales of the Destinies, The One, Road of Resistance, ... just watch it all! ;)

[@mysticvirgo9318]

Doki Doki = Heartbeat sound . I lvoe this song because it is so ..Summery! :)

[@theone3926]

Tnx your react.Babymetal is legend

[@junbug9844]

I think this is one of there frist songs

[@bishamoonten8781]

yaaas, next megitsune :D

[@johnmatthew102]

YES! Just saw them live at Charlotte and I would have made the 4 hour drive and paid the admission just for Megitsune. Seeing them march onto the stage holding their kitsune masks was just magnificent! Great show!

[@aroraborealiss77]

And please, I suggest you start chronologically with Babymetal with their first albums and first live performances and then move onto their newer album and live performances too, please start with their Official Music Videos first too 😊😊 I think thats the best way to get into Babymetal.

[@allahbless2278]

I think your next video should be something more straight up metal like "Road of resistance" or "akatsuki-live at Budokan"

[@autohmae]

I think Karate at Download UK is also a good choice for that.

[@leebrennan5790]

Agreed. Now that she knows some of their cute and catchy songs, it's now time for her to see something epic like RoR and IDZ live :). Akatsuki is a must too

[@0okamino]

I would suggest _Megitsune_ before transitioning over to the more metal songs.

[@allahbless2278]

autohmae Definitely 👏

[@mysticvirgo9318]

Nono no HeadBangaaaz ~ the Metsigune THEN Road toResistance :) Brazee, translations available and many of their newer songs ARE english :) doesn't stop them from being enjoyed :) and they are addictive VERY addictive...

[@acefeeley5884]

We love Yui!

[@mysticvirgo9318]

You have now become one with The One ! :0

[@菊間昌孝]

AWADAMA fever please!

[@allahbless2278]

please do road of resistance by them next,it'll definitely blow you away

[@autohmae]

Personally, I like the clear singing better than the metal growling. Some say: it's foreign you can't hear a word they are saying, but can you understand the words they are growling without looking up the lyrics ? So what is the difference ? :-)

[@Brayzee]

I remember listening to Suicide Silence, I couldn't understand a thing they were saying besides them telling everything to give the middle finger. Other than that I couldn't. I still liked it though. :P These girls though, I don't know what they are saying, but MAN they keep you so into the song. The beats, the way they sing, it really gets you pumped.

[@autohmae]

Well, this song doesn't have any deep lyrics. They were new to metal and still very young. Ever since Ijime, Dame, Zettai they've added deeper meanings to their lyrics. A lot of metal music can be used to vent frustration, which is a positive effect but in a negative form. Babymetal does not just 'innovate' by bringing a new sound and appearance or dancing to metal scene. But they brings positive messages to the metal scene.

[@autohmae]

Here is a famous Babymetal fan site where you can find the translated lyrics: du-metal.blogspot.com/2013/07/doki-doki-morning.html

[@glenbe4026]

That is why I mainly like Heavy Metal bands if they have female vocals, like Within Temptation or Babymetal. Do not like screaming or harsh voices, and only time I do not mind growling is in some beauty and the beast vocals.

[@autohmae]

This is why for me Rammstein is a shoo in, as I can also actually speak German. :-)

[@Singulitarian]

If you are interested in the lyrics, Duane Metal has a series where he teaches the subtleties of the translations. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJytoHmnh7eWm5Y

[@tmihmna]

i cant wait for your next babymetal reaction :)

[@musicgarryj]

Doki Doki Morning with ENGLISH translation! kzbin.info/www/bejne/npmxo5-qh7eIhqs btw DDM was their first ever single, made in 2010 when the girls were 11 and 13 ! Please do Megitsune next: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXyWf4CQdrp-fdk ...musically, it's the most Japanese-sounding song they do: but still really heavy! Aren't any of the KoRn support gigs BM are doing in June anywhere near you? Really loving your reactions btw (this one is No.709 in my Babymetal Reactions playlist!)

[@thomastackett2577]

You can be unhappy after seeing Yuimetal's smile.

[@fenixsaya4ever]

hello brayzee babymetal is the best thank for your reaction

[@squidster3128]

MORE BABYMETAL!! MORE BABYMETAL!! p.s. keep you eye on the view counter! :-)

[@mysticvirgo9318]

I think they were age 13 15 and 13 when they shot this one :)

[@Brayzee]

So young, yet so very talented.

[@rickwagner-]

+Mystic Virgo First version of the music video was released October 12, 2011. They were 12, 12 and 13. It gets confusing since Yui and Moa have birthdays in the middle of the year and Su's are close to the end of the year.

[@mysticvirgo9318]

[@FRISKY_MANDINGO]

Nobody knows what they're saying. Only the fox god knows...

[@tawnkuimi-uru7212]

Just one question I love to ask of all that watch "Doki Doki Morning"...how many tiny skeletons are there by the end?

[@luisgarrues]

You need to react to Megitsune if you want something more rock and metal or if you want something out of left field you should react to Onedari Daisakusen (you can only find live versions of this song)

[@daguitarman808]

howzit brayzee glad you found babymetal welcome to the one. here is a link to an interview done with the girls in Japan. this is the best interview not a canned one like you see at there gigs where only the fox god knows. anyway the host is a world famous violinist and has a great repour with the girls. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWmQgHyGq66Zbbc ps..there is a vid on daily motion if you want to see the girls act there age.its hilarious and I watch this if I'm having a bad day. Sorry I don't know how to link to daily motion so search for sakura gaku #9. it's a Taiwanese tv show but half way through the show there's a bit called guess what's in the box. it's the funniest thing I've ever seen. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYmWnWpviryUjac this is the original version no subs. the English subs is on daily motion. anyway aloha from maui

[@RVREVO]

This was their very first single. Mispelled misleading title as Doki should be spelled Toki, but suspect D comes before T. Toki means time. And ofcourse loads of clocks. Incidentally this is a silly girls song, first verse is about making sure her bangs are straight. Check out Duane-metal for the translations. React to Akatsuki live concert show. Power ballad

[@Sprogis95HUN]

React to Megitsune, Karate and Road of Resistance by them pkease

[@harveyn8990]

Good !!

[@UncleSin]

I can't believe you're getting 100+ likes and 1k+ views a video now. I'm so proud :D don't forget about me when you blow up! Haha

[@junbug9844]

you should try black babymetal like sis anger lol.

[@Singulitarian]

Worried that copyright cops will block your terrific videos. Suggest you listen on headphones and give us the link for the audio and do a 3-2-1 countdown.

[@robharwood3538]

I second this suggestion. Unfortunately Japanese music companies tend to be very strict about copyright. But almost always it's the audio, not the video. So if you play the video muted, and provide a link to the original video in your video description, then count down 3,2,1,go! everyone can sync up with your video. Unfortunately, mobile viewers will have a much harder time with this. The only viable alternative is to significantly modify (such as changing the pitch) or distort the audio in some way. Perhaps you could get away with it at very low volume, I don't know. But muting the audio is the absolute safest way to avoid copyright strikes.

[@Brayzee]

Oh man, I would hate to do that, because then I feel like I"m cheating out the system. Hopefully that doesn't happen. If it does I will reupload with muted sound and make sure it stays not monetized so I don't get anything (because without audio of the music it wouldn't register as copyright) and it would make me feel bad to cheat the system with all that. Because, with each view on this video it earns them money. They have full monetized the videos, which means any money it would have earned goes directly to the copyright holders. Which is like 3 different ones.

[@Singulitarian]

That's the opposite of cheating the system. When we watch in two windows, you get your views and BABYMETAL gets there's. Everyone wins except those on mobile devices.

[@Brayzee]

Thanks, that makes me feel so much better :)

[@dennissatya]

brayzee please check megitsune or karate next thanks :)

[@Kaixy]

Please react to BABYMETAL iine next! That's a fun one :)

[@1066Wilhelm]

I understand it should be a an first impression of a video, but now and then a reflection of what the songs are about, maybe as an appendix to the rection video, a "so THAT what it was all about" for example by watching: /watch?v=P2VlM7xCzic&ytbChannel=Sal T Balsak before publishing the reaction on YT

[@daguitarman808]

you probably know this but your iine reaction vid is blocked hope you reupload 😎 maybe you can mute the audio and use a count down so we can sync up to the vid

[@Brayzee]

I did notice. :(
