Megitsune is always on my list of top five favorite BabyMetal songs. This video is one of the very few BabyMetal songs where the official video is preferable to a live performance. That is because nothing Queen Su does on stage can match the shock you get the first time you see this young teenage girl draw the tanto from her microphone. This was an early one for me and the first BabyMetal video that intrigued me so much that I had to search out a translation of the lyrics.

Excellent reaction, I'm so pleased you chose to do this ... and that is had that effect on you. This is possibly one of the best reactions to 'Megitsune' I've seen (and I've seen them all ... many are also excellent of course, why wouldn't they be, it is such an incredible song). 'Megitsune' is a difficult song to sing - so Su-metal uses it for sound checks and to check how she is sounding before concerts. It often tops fan polls for favourite song (so you are not alone) and they have played it live more often than any other song. It is arguably the song that showcases best what BABYMETAL are about and one that truly reflects their Japanese culture the best starting with the traditional instruments (shamisen) in the intro and the lyrics about women being compared to foxes🦊 (kitsune - which also explains the fox masks everywhere in the video) which, in Japanese mythology, are able to shape shift and take human form in order to deceive. It is also a bit of a push back against the traditional female role in Japanese society I think - or maybe it is - whilst also praising and celebrating the women who have played that role over the years for their strength. They are saying that women wearing their make up and hiding their true feelings ("crying at heart, smiling at face") are not trying to deceive anybody, they are simply trying to please everybody - so they are not kitsune (foxes), they are megitsune 🦊(female foxes or vixens) - and they are strong. The breakdown in the middle of the song (that has pig squeal screams, they are more obvious in the studio recording) uses the exact melody of an old and very well known Japanese folk song called 'Sakura Sakura' (Cherry Blossoms). When Su pulled the short blade from her mic she said "Otome wa ... nametara ikan zeyo." (Maidens ... shouldn't be underestimated). The last part of this is a famous quote from a Japanese gangster movie said by the daughter of a gang boss. Much of the video was shot on location at the Asagaya Shinmei Shrine in Tokyo. This has become a place of pilgrimage for BABYMETAL fans visiting Tokyo. There are so many great live versions of 'Megitsune' - you owe it to yourself (and to us if it will have the same sort of effect on you) to react to at least one of those. A personal favourite of mine was live at the Red Fox Festival in 2017 where they had an all female audience - it just works so well with this song - but live at Budokan Black Night is good, for better audience participation (but missing out on the Kami Band) live at legend 1997 is very good too. Live at Saitama Super Arena in January 2015 has everything .... I could go on.🤘🦊🤘

The fact that this is the second debut song of theirs following “Babymetal Death” says something. Their first song on record is officially declaring “We are Babymetal” in the must puntastic and metal way possible, then transitions to this song. That breakdown in the middle with the squeal and the melodic instrumentals slowly phasing in on top with her singing closely following behind makes that part so damn haunting. The chorus is also beautiful yet also subtly tragic in its tone.
Megitsune is a fan favourite for a reason. Great react! Some facts: Megitsune means vixen, as in, female fox. If you didn't noticed it yet, Babymetal has this lore about the Fox God, and how it chose the girls to be His representative and bring us good music, in a more short than correct way. In Japanese culture, foxes are mischievous creatures, that sometimes could turn into "the perfect woman" and allure travelers, just to toy with them. The lyrics say that nowadays women have to be perfect, even if it comes at the cost of putting up a facade ("laughing face, crying heart" it says). So, they say that they might be the perfect woman, but they're not foxes, but vixen, in the sense that they're not decieving nor mischievous. Another fact, when Su says "(otome wa) Nametara Ikan Zeyo" and pulls a knife (tanto) out of her mic, it's a reference to an old movie about the Yakuza. It means "(maidens) shouldn't be underestimated". And in the movie the girl who says it, procedes to kill someone who was bugging her. It's an impact phrase, much like "say hello to my little friend" was, to keep to the mafia theme. Now, with that out of the way... Maybe you should try "Karate" next, to stick with "classic" Babymetal. Or if you're feeling adventurous, try "Sis. Anger"... That one is a punch in the gut. Just like "BMC" is. 🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻

If anybody has not seen his Metalizm reaction, you need to find it. Metalizm was a great choice as your first reaction. I'm pretty sure you are the only reactor who chose that one as the first. You go through such a range of emotions in just the first few seconds. The very first beat was a shock, then you had genuine fear for a few moments, and when Su started singing you thought "this is getting serious", next the standard Babymetal confusion set in and you didn't even believe it was real, then after you realized just how shockingly real it was, TOTAL JOY! Then in amazement you forgot to blink for 90 seconds.... And that comment right before signing off put the Angel on the Tree. It was the most real reaction I've ever seen. You are ready now. These two are the heavy hitters. I am on my knees begging you, please, please, do no other versions than these two. This is an official live version.of the closiing song of the very first (30 minute) concert they did outside of Japan. It is safe to assume that over 95 percent of the crowd here had never even heard of BabyMetal before this day. BABYMETAL - Ijime,Dame,Zettai - Live at Sonisphere 2014,UK (OFFICIAL) Literal title translation is " Bullying No Good Absolutely" kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKCQkJaYm8mlj6c _____ Next, turn on the subtitles for their true masterpiece... Babymetal - Karate (Fox Festival 2017 Live) Eng Sub. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6qUdWyaq6mseMU The official version of Karate is a big mistake as a first reaction, it will put a fly in your eye.

For the Japanese, Kitsune (fox) is a special animal compared to other animals. Please take a look at the wiki under the "kitsune" section. And you should go to the BM gigs! Either the upcoming US tour or the EU tour is fine. You can also take the plunge and go to a live show in Japan. From Japan🦊
