👍👍An awesome performance. Su is killing it. Great reaction.🦊 🖖❤

[@kitkat6407]

This is my favorite song along with Shine. No matter how many times I hear it, Su's high notes give me goosebumps.

[@jakemuller8626]

Cool you enjoy this song and it's unfortunate you got it blocked since the edit version at For The Fox God is usually safe to react. Anyway keep enjoying BM songs.🦊🤘🔥

💕 ⚡ 🍑 / 🌅 I was at the Hollywood Palladium for the world premiere of this song back in 2017. More importantly, also in the audience that night were Su's Mom and Dad. I would have loved to see one of the two Budokan 2021 performances. They took it to a whole new level. The staging was epic, and Su's voice has only gotten better. Even though they had a full camera crew, apparently there were rights issues that prevented the pro-shot footage from the Palladium concert from being released. Fortunately we have pro footage from the 2021 Budokan concerts, even if it's only included on the most expensive, "THE ONE" fanclub only complete edition. And pretty difficult to post to KZbin as a reaction. 'From Dusk Till Dawn' was on the international edition of the second album, 'Metal Resistance'. The domestic (Japanese) edition had 'Syncopation' instead.

Great reaction, and thank you for making it available on your Patreon, much appreciated! One of my top Babymetal songs, no doubt about it.

Thanks for putting it on patreon for free, real shame you couldn't post the whole thing here. This was the song on the international release of Metal Resistance where the Japanese release had 'Syncopation'. They had only ever played FDTD live once, at the Hollywood Palladium in 2017, but there was some sort of copyright issue with the pro-shot video so that has never been seen, there are only fancam videos for that performance. When BABYMETAL were holding a ballot for the top 10 songs for their Top 10 album for the 10th anniversary a fan campaign got FDTD voted in. It was not on the album in the end, but they did at least play it live at two of the 10 Budokan concerts and we finally got this pro-shot video of a live performance to enjoy. With so few live performances it does tend to get overlooked, which it shouldn't as it is such a great and haunting song and Su's vocals are incredible .... but that will partly explain why it wasn't recommended to you a lot sooner. It is sung entirely in English, but the official lyrics were never published so the subtitles are a close approximation (there have been many attempts to work out what they are over the years, some better than others).

Love watching reactors' faces when Su hits That note 😁 Su is my favourite vocalist of all time she is incredible . I think we may have mentioned FDTD a few times in comments When you comment on Su hitting a high note . Theirs normally a comment like "wait until she hears FDTD "😁 Still, you heard it now. dont blame you for being mad at us 🤣❤️🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼

[@alexatakesalook]

Hey...I didn't know any better lol

FDTD is a very rarely perform song. As the international exclusive track from Metal Resistance, it has only been performed three times live; once in 2017 in LA, and twice at 10 Babymetal Budokan in 2021. I'm not convinced that those subtitles are correct. I've seen several versions with different lyrics, and since Babymetal rarely provide official transcripts of their lyrics, no-one seems to be able to agree what the lyrics actually are. It's probably pretty close, but OFTGK what it actually should be.

[@poohbear4702]

Yes, it's one of their best songs. Su shows off.

[@kylec1411]

this song is amazing

[@autohmae]

Babymetal just gives us random curve balls and we enjoy it. 🙂

[@BlackArr0w]

I love this song! But this song is pretty divisive in the fandom! A lot of fans have mixed feelings about it, or some even don't like it 😄 The light show was absolutely stunning at that show! Did you notice the change in colors to symbolize the Dusk, the night, and then the Dawn?

[@Ryujin170]

What! 😲who are these people! Forgive them Fox God for they know not what they are on about. 🙏🦊

[@rah2287]

👍 👍

[@denniseldridge2936]

Just to add to what others have posted, I believe this song was meant for a cartoon project that Babymetal were involved in that never saw the light of day. Due to copyright issues it was only ever performed once back when Yui was still with the group, but remained an enigma for many years thereafter. There is a pretty good fan cam of that performance out there which is well worth seeking.

[@rickwagner-]

The 2017 Palladium performance of the song was probably intended to be used for the cartoon project with Warner Bros. and Blue Ribbon Content, but the song itself was released over a year earlier than the Palladium show.
