BABYMETAL- From Dusk til Dawn REACTION!

[@xerosolar307]

One of my all-time favorite Babymetal songs, it's like an instrumental with ambient vocals, but they actually do the vocals, it's insane

[@jackpatterson7110]

I think this song is such a striking example of "what can't they do?" The fact that she can just DO THAT is insane 😭😭

[@kitkat6407]

Su's voice, which seems to be pouring down from the heavens, always gives me goosebumps.

[@Ganimal83]

Awesome! This is an underrated, but absolutely stunning performance and song! This is Momo, she was one of the 3 avengers since 2019. By 2021, she was the only active avenger. She donned a mic in Apr 2023 when she became official. Easy tell for Yui: the girls all wore “filly tutus” until after Yui left. 🤘🦊

Such a good song - and no, there is nothing they can't do - but there may be a couple of things they still haven't done, not yet anyway. This is a rare live performance of 'From Dusk Till Dawn' - there have been only 3. In 2017 they played it at the Hollywood Palladium and in 2021 they played it at two of their 10 Budokan shows. It is one of only two songs ('Believing' is the other) that have only English versions. They have two songs that have both Japanese and English versions - 'The One' and 'Elevator Girl'. Although this is sung entirely in English the lyrics have never been published so the subtitles on this are a "best guess" - although I have seen a couple of better guesses. Yes that was Momoko, but she didn't have her mic yet. She got that on 2nd April 2023 when she was revealed as the third official member. From 2019 until then she was one of the three Avengers (Momoko, Riho and Kano - Momoko was the only Avenger after about March 2020).

I'm still waiting on Su to sing a symphonic metal song.

[@Grington300]

@@poohbear4702 I'm not too knowledgeable about symphonic metal, but I think 'Metal Kingdom' isn't far off - is it?

[@poohbear4702]

@@Grington300 I guess I'm thinking of the vocal aspect of it specifically. It's very challenging, like singing classical/opera on top of metal. I have a strong feeling Su would nail it like she always does, and she might get even more respect for doing it.

[@AxeSwipe2011]

Su's falsetto voice at the beginning is just incredible. On the studio track, you almost dont realize it is her.

[@zabber67]

Funny you mention that. I also thought it was just instrumental at first (until I saw the live performance).

[@AxeSwipe2011]

@zabber67 Yeah, it's easy to mistake it for a synthesizer or something the way they edited it in the studio.

[@old_5-O]

That is Momoko. This performance was before she was named Momometal in April 2023. This is one of my favorite performances.

[@IAMisLove]

👍An awesome performance. The voice of an angel😇. 🦊 🖖❤

[@Ryujin170]

For a group that constantly takes people by surprise, this still song is a surprise amongst surprises for many. Some people may know that Yuyoyuppe wrote Karate, Monochrome and Rondo of Nightmare, but fewer people know he wrote from Dusk till Dawn (or Kagerou, Believeing and GJ!) as well. When you combine Yuyoyuppe going beyond himself as a writer with Su going beyond herself as a singer, you get expotenital energy and power. The choreography, lighting and Kami band are adding to something that is already exceptional. BTW, Yuyoyuppe has written for some fun J-pop girl groups like Band Ja Naimon! and Moso Calibration. Please react to the 'Chi Chin Pui Pui' MV by Moso Calibration. It's J-pop/EDM not metal, and it's one of my favourite Yuyoyuppe songs. Like Babymetal, the girls have genuine Kawaii charisma and the song has fun, driving energy and a big chorus.

Its why su won award for metal queen voice of 2024

[@AxeSwipe2011]

and 2023 ❤

[@chrishammer9540]

And she will too it next year

[@dennisandretuestaflores448]

ist' the voting for 2024 still going?

[@slideways4291]

I've heard many adjectives used to describe Su-Metal's voice and they are all applicable. One that comes to my mind that I've not heard but I think applies, is stable. her voice is inhumanly stable. Through all of the choreo, all the tones and timbres, and all of the dynamics her voice is so stable. She is truly a generational talent

[@martinmetal7481]

As always, with BabyMetal complicated, it's an Avenger who is Momoko who eventually becomes MomoMetal, and their was great rejoicing ( great choice) It's one of my favourite BabyMetal songs that gives of mystic religious vibes, in my opinion, and that note hit by Su Wow 😁🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼

[@flugelhornoldman1362]

Thanks from Japan 有難う💛。This song is very different from other BM songs even if we know that BM's feature is musical diversity. FDTD has been performed only 3 times to date. Only a limited number of fans who were at Hollywood Palladium on June 16, 2017 had been privileged to experience this song for 4 years. On February 16, 2021, when the intro started, everyone at Budokan (including me) was firstly shocked and gradually god excited understanding what was going to happen. At the end of the song, however, everyone got confused with what he / she witnessed because it was too surprising and mesmerizing. On the following day (Feb.17), the audiences came to the venue expecting the setlist would remain the same and FDTD would be played again. Once this song started, many of them (including me) just stared at the stage without moving as if they were trying to burn the performance into their retinas. Su-Metal did it perfectly. "In the end !" Ethereal voice. And Moa and Momoko did perfect choreo like angels smoothly dancing around the goddess. Oh! I actually saw and listened to this artistry twice for sure, but still "was it real?" (Even after viewed it in Blu-ray video)

[@htusda1]

I am so envious you got to see this live.. and twice! This is one of my favourite songs by BM. I am seeing them in DC tonight(11/15), but I always have this wish (I know only a miniscule chance, but) to hear a rare song such this... or Akatsuki, or No Rain No Rainbow.

[@flugelhornoldman1362]

@@htusda1 Thanks. Have a good time at The Anthem 💛. I am envious of you, however. There haven't been any BM headline show here in Japan since March. I am waiting for good news twiddling my thumbs.

[@htusda1]

​@@flugelhornoldman1362 The show in DC was great, including sound = Su's voice cut across very well. However no FDTD... but we were all smiling throughout the show. Last year, BM toured with DETHKLOK and to be honest I did not resonate with their music (totally different from BM vibes), so naturally I was worried about Scene Queen, having only seen couple of their KZbin videos. However they did surprise me in a good way. She took time to thank BM for making it possible for them to play in front of such a huge audience, and said that she had admired BM for a long time. Their uniqueness and bravery (perseverance) made it possible for so many diverse metal bands to be accepted = Scene Queen owes it to BM for their current success. Before Makuhari ("BM Returns" show in 2023) , I practised running around in the basement, twirling a towel for a month, but this time no such training, and I was waving a towel for all of PAPAYA, and now my shoulder hurts! 😖

[@flugelhornoldman1362]

@@htusda1 Thanks for this vivid report 😍 It really exhilarated me and also soothed me who is sadly sitting at a vacant house in Japan. (The girls are now far away from their homeland.) I am happy to hear that Scene Queen is getting along with BM. She and Su are the same age. That may be one of the reasons for the good relation. Speaking of Scene Queen and DETHKLOK, my friend Professor Hartley shares the same opinion with yours in his video. Another thing that made me happy is your body consciousness. I discovered BM on July 7, 2019 and went to their concert on Jan.25, 2020 for the first time. I started workout since then and I jumped in circle pits in two-day shows of "BM Returns", the very same show you mentioned 🤣。 (I could not run in 10 BABYMETAL Budokan concerts because they are all-seated shows amid COVID19.) I think you are residing in Virginia. So are you going to BM show at The National in Richmond? or once more in NY at Terminal 5 ? Or both?

[@htusda1]

@@flugelhornoldman1362 Yes, I also saw AJ Hartley's KZbin and totally agree with a lot of what he says. But another wow! = He's your friend! Yes, I live in McLean, VA - 20 minutes drive to The Anthem. My daughter lives in Durham, NC so I had planned to stay at her place and see BM in Raleigh, but since they only had standing areas, my daughter prohibited me from going. Unfortunately, I will not be going to any more US shows this time around. (I did try to get tickets to their LA - House of Blues, but were all sold out.) you wrote => "I discovered BM on July 7, 2019 and went to their concert on Jan.25, 2020 for the first time." WOW!!! 🤣 I thought I was reading my own post! I discovered BM July 6. 2021! and my first live was Jan. of 2023 @ Makuhari. But you went to both! I understand they had some audio issues the first day, but regardless, I can imagine the excitement of seeing them after their hiatus. Even on the second day, as soon as I heard Su's live clear voice for Metal Kingdom, I cried like a baby.

[@road-runner]

Great reaction, thanks! Yes, that was Momoko, still not Momometal. She was one of the three Avengers. Well... at this point she was the only Avenger. 😊 "FDTD" is considered a rarity for many reasons: style, vocals, language, song's release and live history, etc. Regarding the musical style, this is a rare mix of dream trance with metal. Vocally, the song starts with some of Su-metal's falsetto (not the first time we hear her doing it). But it's even more impressive when she sings those crazy notes in her head voice with full power. Lyrics are fully in English (which is still a rarity now) and never published officially (so, the subtitles here may not be 100% accurate). They only released it on the international version of the Metal Resistance album while the domestic (Japanese) version includes "Syncopation" instead. The song premiered live in 2017 at Hollywood Palladium in LA but they got some issues with the live footage (apparently regarding copyright, which is kinda ironic) and it wasn't performed again until 2021at the Budokan, where this footage is from. 🤘🦊

[@htusda1]

Great song. One of my favourites! I feel the best interpretation of the lyrics is by A.J.Hartley and Jonathan.

[@ksbrst2010]

One of the softest but demanding Songs, that they can offer. Who knew that Su could still reach this frequencies. But I think this is a reason why they don't really play this Song anymore. Their current Schedules are simply to insane. From South America to the United States, then next year Australia and in May the first european and UK Arena Tour.

[@AxeSwipe2011]

I've said it before, the only thing you can expect from Babymetal is the unexpected (and an awesome performance) as every song is different. Su has said that if it sounds like a previous song, it is not a true Babymetal song. 😂 This is also a perfect example of why Su has been voted Best Female Metal Vocalist by a landslide the last 2 years in a row. 🤘🦊🤘

[@John-l7y1t]

2021 Budokan Akatsuki please! SUQUEEN SLAYS!!!❤

[@DaniloSouzaReacts]

Nice reaction! From 2021 onwards you will only see Momo as a third member, whether she is an Avenger or not.

[@poohbear4702]

I teach philosophy at a community college. I'm doing a section on music, and I used the first verse/chorus of this song as a demonstration.

[@faceplantor5647]

Good reaction👊🏽⚡️It’s hard to believe this song was on the second album. (Metal Resistance 2016). This is one of the few songs from the first 3 albums that would fit easily on the latest album. 🦊🤘🏾

[@Ryujin170]

I think Rondo of Nightmare and Kagerou could as well. All written by the same person.

[@jwa725]

There was a time after February 2020 and before their sealed period where Momoko was the only non-credited support dancer. Can we still call her an Avenger at this point? I say no. This performance happened during their Budokan shows in 2021 to celebrate their 10th anniversary, after which they took a nearly two year break from performing. When they returned in 2023, Momoko was still with them and she took her place as a full member during their third show back.

[@garytruex9336]

IMO, their Greatest Masterpiece. The song is a journey, on several levels. There is a very good discussion of the song elements and meanings on the Andrew Hartely You Tube page. Even though it's entirely in English, it was several years until a consenous (sort of) developed of what was being said,...let alone what meanings are being conveyed. very Zen.
