Welcome back and congratulations on your marriage. I have no idea how 'Headbanger' can't get you hyped, this is one of their most hype songs and always gets the crowd jumping, bowing and singing along. Maybe because it didn't have the usual build up. This video cut off the church organ intro so you didn't get the sense of anticipation, maybe because you didn't let it flow .... Yui and Moa were hyping everybody in the middle. Coincidence you said not to fall. The night before, when Yui and Moa were running round the stage and hyping the crowd, Yui fell off the stage and disappeared. Su and Moa continued and finished the song without her. Yui was back on stage, happy and smiling, for the next song (IDZ, the last song of the night). Moa slipped and fell at the start of that one and twisted her knee - she carried on to the end and did all the choreo including a mock fight with Yui, but she was nearly in tears throughout. Try the Legend 1997 performance - abr metal has a high quality version you can use safely. Then there are the special versions they have performed on special birthdays. 'Headbanger' is about a girl going to her first concert on her 15th birthday, but it is also a sort of coming of age thing. 15 is when compulsory education ends in Japan, so she is taking that first big life decision - further education, start a career, something else perhaps. She is realising that she will never be considered a child again, those first 15 years passed by so quickly and life will never be the same, so she is etching this special night of her 15th into her heart so she will never forget. It is not biographical - they recorded this song when Su was still only 14, but I'm sure she could relate. At shows on or near their own 15th birthdays in 2014 Yui (in Paris) and Moa (in Cologne/Koln) were each handed the mic and stand ceremoniously by Su half way through the song and they each took over the lead vocals for the second half (only fancam videos exist for both those shows). The same thing happened at the Legend M show in 2019 for Moa's 20th birthday (the real coming of age to becoming an adult in Japan) and again at Legend MM in March earlier this year the night before Momometal's 21st she took the lead and "showed her fangs"..

legend 97 performance of this is the best imo - Legend 97 is an amazing concert. It also has "Night of 15" - an EDM version of headbanger that you might like. Good reaction!

Hot take but the audio mixing in that show is not THAT good. I'd take Budokan 2014 over legend 1997 any day. Ofc in terms of theatrics, 1997 takes the cake
@astrafaanАй бұрын
@@i.shuuya3231 Agreed - I always assumed the audio for at least their home shows was cleaned up anyway - it usually sounds way better than their touring stuff overall. I think I love 97 for it's furious energy antics and theatrics.

💀 ⚡ 💕 / 🤘 A pentagram is a five pointed star. This stage was shaped like an octagon, a shape with eight sides. It is a fox magic circle though, so you were totally right about that. I like this performance a lot, so I'm sorry it wasn't one of your favorites. By the way, wishing you lots of love and happiness in your new marriage.

AgnesMetal is back! Yey! Congratulations for your marriage! Now my hopes are all gone lol 💔 Don't worry about not liking this song so much, sometimes it just needs to grown on you, especially after knowing the lyrics, after all it's one of fans favorite for a reason. Hopefully you'll experience this live next year when playing at the Europe and UK Tour, don't miss out that chance. Kitsune up and see you next time 🦊🤘❤

Congratulations on your marriage. I know it can be stressful but hope you had a wonderful time. Nice reaction and yes there are many versions of Headbanger. Arguably the most iconic to the Babymetal canon is "Headbanger Live @ Legend 1997 Apocalypse." A personal favorite of mine is Headbanger "Moa Version / Legend M." If you want to see crowd hype this may be the version you're looking for. And of course "Momobanger" is just a delight. You mentioned the costumes and I agree. These are not my favorites. But a little FYI: for you. Babymetal started out with a lot of red in their outfits. You see red it's a cue that this is an older performance. As time went on they moved towards the classic black and silver metal princess look. My personal fav. There have been s couple of short lived iterations are the gold iridescent and now-and I'm not sure how to even describe these. But the current costumes which to my eye have an almost sci-fi fantasy feel.

Thanks for the shout out, Agnes and congratulations for tying the knot, I hope you blasted Babymetal Death on the dance floor with hubby. I feel the same way about this video. Headbanger felt underperformed at this concert but believe me, it's a hell of a song and now you can watch legend 1997 (Su's Bday) and feel the difference or even Legend M ( Moa's bday) with surprise/amazing vocals or Legend MM (Momo's Bday) with Momo releasing her inner Godzilla. Great reaction as always and welcome back.

One of BM's earliest songs, first released in mid-2012 (one of BM's four singles as a Sakura Gakuin subunit). Thus, it has a long history of live versions (just type Babymetal Headbanger + [Year] into KZbin search) to re-live for nostalgic value, & also to recap how the crowd-participation parts evolved over time. The lyrics allude to a major transition moment in life, so there are several special & birthday versions of Headbanger where the occasion carried extra meaning. The song itself is a popular live staple, so BM got to perform it at bigger venues & while touring with metal heavyweights etc., but the following versions are considered milestones in their own career. Have fun looking up the pro-shot clips & amateur fancams. Legend Corset - Jul 2012, BM's first solo showcase at the legendary RockMayKan livehouse; IDZ Legend "I" - Oct 2012, first Kami Band appearance (except they were one-off hired musicians); IDZ Legend "D" - Dec 2012, the day Su turned 15 so BM debuted a dance version (Night Of 15 Mix) where the Babybones dancers lifted her up in midsong; IDZ Legend "Z" - Feb 2013, where the beloved longtime East Kamis formally debuted; Legend "1999" - Jun 2013, where Moa/Yui celebrated their 14th birthdays by spraying the audience with CO2 fog guns; Legend "1997" - Dec 2013, which was iconic for several reasons: BM's inauguration as arena-sized headliner; the day Su turned 16 (so BM performed the Night Of 14 Mix dance version as well); Moa/Yui spraying with CO2 fog guns again (during the band version); one of the viral BM live videos along with RoR at Saitama Super Arena which the post-Sonisphere converts would revel in later; Legend "Huge Corset" & Legend "Doomsday" - Mar 2013, aka the sold-out Red Night/Black Night Budokan shows, which were highly-charged nights where Su realized a personal ambition, Moa kept shedding tears & Yui alarmingly fell off the stage; they were also the last performances before BM focused on overseas tours; Legend "Y" & Legend "M" - July 2013, where Yui & Moa took turns to co-sing lead on Headbanger to mark turning 15 in Paris & Germany respectively during the opening European leg of their world tour; Legend S Baptism X - Dec 2017, where Su changed the lyrics from "ichi go no yoru" to "hatachi no yoru" to celebrate turning 20, unfortunately suppressed on KZbin (since that was the show Yui abruptly withdrew & would never performed with BM again; ditto beloved Kami guitarist Mikio Fujioka who would suffer a fatal accident later that month) but is available on retail disc (bittersweet sight of the unaware crowd's exuberance as Moa did the choreography alone all show without backing dancers); Legend M - July 2019, where Moa co-sang lead with the changed lyrics to mark turning 20, & the viral clip won a new generation of fans during the ensuing pandemic; US Tour 2019 Orlando gig - Sept 2019, where the West Kamis quietly made their debut (with then-Avenger Riho as the rotated 3rd BM member); US Tour 2019 Washington DC gig - Sept 2019, where then-Avenger Momo performed Headbanger with Su/Moa for the first time; Legend MM 20 Night - Mar 2024, where Momo sang co-lead with the changed lyrics on the night before she turned 21.

Hi there. Headbanger is one of their song with 4 different versions. This is the original, but the Legend 1997 is the best with Su on Vocals. There is one with Yui on vocals, but I don't know which show is it in. There is a Moa version from Legend M and there is a Momo version from Legend MM .They do it on each respective 16 and 20th birthday.

BabyMetal has many beautiful outfits and every fan's favorite is different. Someone has analyzed that the biggest difference between this outfit and previous outfits is that Su-metal’s outfits are designed with left and right asymmetry. This is a more mature style. Maybe because Su-metal was already 16 years old at that time. So the fashion designer designed an asymmetrical outfit for Su-metal, but the outfits of Yuimetal and Moametal are still symmetrical. This arrangement highlights lead singer Su-metal while Yuimetal and Moametal retain the kawaii style. Thanks for your great reaction.

As many have already said, for a first reaction, Legend 1997 is the best version, then react to Legend M and Legend MM and Legend 1997 - Night of 15 Remix. But IMO, Legend Metal Galaxy is the shizz, but will get blocked heavily, so that is definitely a watch on your own version.

Hi Agnes congratulations for your marriage and glad you’re back with more Babymetal. Looks like we forgot to tell you to pick the “Legend 1997” (takes place in 2013)version of this song, you can see and get the hype with that version, this is one of the worst versions to “react” to, hope you can watch that version and many others that this song has, believe me you’ll love and enjoy more the “Legend 1997” version ❤ The same happened with the songs “babymetal death” and “Akatsuki” you happened to pick the wrong versions to react 😅 but hope you can watch the right ones soon from each one ❤️

So nice to see another BM reaction by Agnes-metal! regarding their stage costumes, this is right at the end of the era when they were borrowing clothes from friends/family/each other to try to match on stage. They didn't have a consistent band before this concert (I think this is the first one where the Kami Band was permanently part of BM). All this is brand new for them, they haven't taken over the world yet.
