BM makes me feel happy and optimistic. Every single time I hear them

[@GreenFuryFM]

I already have a ticket for their European tour with Sabaton in May and I can't be more excited! 😍

[@Marty-Metal]

excellent content dude, I love BABYMETAL no matter what they do, they make me happy, they warm my cold black heart, they also hit me right in the feels. If you haven't checked out "METAL KINGDOM yet, I highly recommend it, it was the opening song from their recent return to the stage.

[@payitogris]

Another nice video, thank you. For me, BABYMETAL is the smile they draw in my face with every single song they create. And 'Light and darkness' is no exception on that point. They keep evolving, changing, maturing and adding more and more to their music, and I love it. And more important for me, BABYMETAL and their music helped me immensely with so many personal problems and troubles. They helped me to keep my mental and even physical health on a good place. So, I can't help but hold them in a special place in my heart. Thank you again for your videos and reactions. Best regards from Spain 🙂

BABYMETAL🔥🤘🦊🤘🔥

[@Grington300]

Welcome back - and don't worry, you still have a load more BABYMETAL you haven't heard yet. As for how they make me feel when I listen to them and watch their performances ... they will always cheer up my days. This is definitely a song that leans a long way towards the pop end of the BABYMETAL sliding scale, further than most I'd say. However, this was the studio audio and I have read the live version is ... different. We can only wait for the DVD to hear the live audio and see how much different of course. I feel this album, concept aside, is highlighting Su-metal's vocals more than anything and possibly more than has been the case in the previous albums - they each had maybe three or four songs that really did that, this one so far every song has done it. 'Monochrome' is my own favourite of the 4 songs released so far, 'Light and Darkness' has had to grow on me, I wasn't sure at first I like it now.

[@BlackArr0w]

This song made me feel relieved! The 3 previous songs were a bit too traditional metal for my taste. This feels more like her old selfs and I love it :D

Welcome back to BabyMetal's metalverse 🦊🤘🌐 Another great pop rock ballad with beautiful SuMetal vocals piercing into our hearts. Love the J-pop sound and the nostalgic vibes mixed with the edm sound. Here's some info about this song: "One of the discovered 10 parallel worlds is "LIGHT AND DARKNESS" and this 4th pre-release digital single “Light and Darkness” centers around this theme. Because light exists, darkness also exists. And because darkness is present, there is also a world that shines. During the night when light and darkness intersect, what we seek after poisoned with darkness awaits a world filled with strong love. As the door opens, is it hope or despair that awaits us? The song expresses the duality in everything and the way things are perceived and interpreted differ depending on each person’s point of view." This was a world premiere at Makuhari Messe 2023 setlist, along with "THE LEGEND" (maybe the next single), Momoko Okazaki is the third backup dancer performing here and possibly the new official member. MoaMetal once again adding the backing vocals and all of them dancing with the full trio formation. Here's the lyrics translated with some help. Thanks for sharing this. See you next time 🦊🤘🔥 Lyrics : MK-METAL / TAKEMETAL　　 Music : TAKEMETAL Arrangement : tatsuoMETAL [Lyrics] Even the reality buried in the snow of sadness Even these hands that have been dyed red by mistakes Take me to oblivion To an ideal world filled with love Open that door Come on Ah, Ah Being poisoned, falling into a dream A night where light and darkness seek and play together Drowning in a sea of ​​rhythm Even my memories are being destroyed This love is strong and strong I'm sure it won't stop This love is strong and strong Never let go Let me out. Let me out. let's jump out hit by the rain of joy Let me go. Let me go. Right now Let's dance the night away Take me to oblivion Take off the mask filled with lies Right now Being poisoned, falling into a dream A night where light and darkness seek and play together Drowning in a sea of ​​rhythm Even my memories are being destroyed This love is strong and strong I'm sure it won't stop This love is strong and strong Never let go In the night when sorrow overflows Keep this love warm Open the door now Come on Ah, Ah Even my dreams are poisoned A night where hope and despair seek and play together Ring out forever Even my heart is filled This love is strong and strong I'm sure it won't stop This love is strong and strong Never let go

I love watching your reactions, especially the ones to BabyMetal. You always look like you are thoroughly enjoying yourself. I recognise the sense of pride in your eyes when you watch them because I feel the same way. I like the new version of BM and their new sound but it’s still intrinsically BM. Love it

[@k-popplayinklown5473]

Always pure joy SU-METAL vocals heal me every time

[@omneil]

This song and mono chrome. Are my two favorite songs on this album so far. My favorite albums are the first BABYMETAL and then metal galaxy.

[@BadEnd98]

Nice, I like it better than Monochrome, but Metal Kingdom + Divine Attack combo is my absolutely favorite so far. These releases feel much less experimental than anything BM has done before, but I've been quickly liking everything so far unlike those singles in Metal Galaxy that I only got it after seeing/hearing live performance (Except Pa Pa Ya and Shanti - those are great)

[@omneil]

@@BadEnd98 That’s great. I found I’ve mellowed with age. And after years of meditation. The harder music just doesn’t do it for me anymore. I guess it’s just me.

[@crimson0119]

How many people were holding their breath, as Su's note went higher and higher, and waiting for the beat to drop?... I didn't start breathing again until the instruments kicked back in. Seriously, i think Babymetal has been taking lessons from edm tracks on when to drop the beat.... not that many bands, especially metal, is so good at building up that anticipation before dropping the beat, no one does it as well as Babymetal. Wished Moa's vocal bit was a bit more though, it sound so good. Love how these new songs all are giving Su a lot opportunity to flex her vocal skills...😄😄😄🤘🦊🤘

[@martinmetal7481]

I think you know how we feel about BabyMetal. i see the same enjoyment and pride in them as i feel in them .in your reaction and response to their music . They have truly become the best live performers around . Su's vocal abilities are astounding and only get better with time . ❤🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼😁

[@kitkat6407]

声のちからを実感します。

[@fabrizioramirez2662]

BABYMETAL es de otro mundo 🥰🦊🤘

[@Lilu_S.]

I dunno why but can’t get enough of moa’s hairflip at the start! I know i’m weird like that 😂 LaD has been my car jam the past week, only wish they threw in a banging lead, other than that, i love it😊

[@Sirotan.666]

I feel burning in my soul 🔥 🤘🦊🤘

[@chikaraudon6854]

Nice reaction. They will release the 4th album this month on 24, looking forward if you could review the album 😃

[@lencooke944]

Another great reaction Omar. The first time I heard this song I thought it was a little too poppy, but each time I listen to it it just keeps sounding heavier as I discover new layers to the song. I probably still prefer Monochrome though; musically, lyrically, vocally and probably most importantly, thematically. When you put all those together Monochrome stacks up well with my all-time favorite BM songs, Megitsune and Kagerou. I will have to track you down one day on your radio show. I went as far as finding your station online but saw that you only do one show per week, and that it is on at about 2:00 am my time, it would mess with my work the next day too much. Perhaps one time when I am on vacation, I can sit up to listen in. Anyway, keep up your fantastic support of metal music.

[@BadEnd98]

If you haven't, you should definitely check Metal Kingdom with Divine Attack come after, they're opener and follow-up of their new album and their live show back in January

[@seregamolodets5286]

🍅💀🍅 🤘🏼🌗🤘🏼 Very Happy

[@PlezurBazar]

I felt the same thing I feel to any BABYMETAL song, joy. BABYMETAL does not play metal, they redefine it... Kitsune dao!

[@zilch634]

Looks like we are back to Sakura Gakuin. Like MOA's cute singing and dancing. And this album seems to focus on SU's vocals. In other words, it seems like they are pressing BM fans to be ready for the birth of a female singer named Suzuka Nakamoto soon... Maybe SU will graduate a year after the birth of the new BABYMETAL is announced in April.... In other words, listen to this song as Jpop by a female singer named Suzuka Nakamoto who will be born in the near future. You may get a different impression.

[@faceplantor5647]

Nice👊🏽⚡️ Oregon represent! Babymetal songs always make me feel better. If I were a councilor I would prescribe Babymetal content for whatever ales.

[@schelin1447]

All I have to say is...SU-METAL!!!
