BABYMETAL - Megitsune Live @Budokan 2021 (First Time Live Reaction)

/ playagain2022

[@Grington300]

Great reaction - and with BABYMETAL songs there is absolutely no harm in reacting to different versions, so studio version and official video followed by a live performance and follow that with another live performance from a different concert if you want to - there will always be something new to hear or see, we can tell your reaction will still be genuine even if you do already know the song. At the start of this they were showing clips on the big screens above the stage from different concerts and performances of 'Megitsune' that they had done over the previous 10 years (the Budokan 2021 shows were their 10th anniversary celebration). As these concerts were held during lockdown the crowd was half capacity and they were not allowed to shout (crowd noise here was from previous concerts they had recorded for the songs being played into the arena) or mosh - they had very strict measures keeping everybody apart and the only noise they could make was clapping and stamping and jumping up and down. The "Mexican Wave" was a way of allowing them to join in. You are absolutely right, BABYMETAL are leagues ahead with their live performances, the music, the vocals, the visuals, the spectacle - everything. Megitsune is a female fox or vixen, BABYMETAL are the chosen ones of the Fox God and their hand sign is the kitsune or fox ... BABYMETAL fans are kitsunes or megitsunes or collectively The ONE (the wolfpack follow a completely different band).🦊🤘🦊

_Sore!_ 🦊🤘🔥 Glad you have a new headset to enjoy BM songs with much more sound quality.🎧 Just like you fans were having so much fun with this in all concerts at Sabaton's Europe Tour as well Asian and Australian Tour, is a song they don't wanna leave behind in any of their setlist and i love it. When SuMetal is throwing a kick and saying _"maidens shouldn't be uderstimated",_ that refers to a japanese mob film about some boss mafia daughter before attacking someone, and if you remember the official MV, she's pulling out a _tanto_ knife from the mic. 🎤 🔪👀 This is a live compilation with different clips from Budokan 2021 celebrating their 10 BABYMETAL Years, (there were 10 different shows throughout 4 months and this one was performed in all these concerts that's why you didn't notice the difference in the editing, and that's the reason this is a fine and decent live compilation after all), the avenger or third backup dancer here was Momoko Okazaki, a former Sakura Gakuin member just like our girls, which recently become the new official member as MomoMetal. The Kami Band got a rotation on guitars too but without dropping any high quality level and they're wearing new gear on their costumes since 2019, like the masks and black burial robes. This is quite long to explain but in general I think after Mikio Fujioka (beloved Kami Band guitarist) past away, they didn't want to risk more exposure on the Kami Band members, plus it's more practical to wear a mask rather than make-up everyday, there are even a new set of session musicians all of them from the west known as the Western Kami Band, but some fans didn't like the masks either way. Due to pandemic restrictions these 10 live concerts series were reduced to half capacity, the crowd wasn't allowed to mosh'sh, crowd surfing or shout without face mask, instead they can stomp their feet, clap their hands or doing a human wave, at least they can do something to participate in this epic and memorable date event. Like I said, the crowd sound here were played from the speakers so no real crowd sound. And the "crowd wave", similar to soccer stadium at the World Cup or baseball was introduced for the first time here to give the fans something fun to interact with, but I got no doubt if they would have been allow to shout it would have been even louder. Budokan 2021 marks their 10 years anniversary celebration and seal the Metal Resistance chapter along with another seal for the group, lucky for us that seal is already broken and they already came back releasing a new album and doing World Tour, festivals and more is coming. They always love to show their kawaii (cute) side, especially on songs like these, but at the same time SuMetal is trying to improve when singing this song, she said she didn't mastered yet, that's why sometimes she's doing sound check with this song before live concerts during live tour, is a quintessential BM song and is always a work in progress. She said: _"On the count of three, everyone jump up with the Fox God"_ By this time they're totally pro at crowd participation and leading to them doing what they want, easy job, who wouldn't want to be guide by our queen and princess, sore! Next suggestion with more of their kawaii metal side: - "Catch Me If You Can" with Kami Band intro live at Budokan 2014, you can find a clip safe to react at "GuilhermeCait". Btw, stay tuned next August 18 coz a new collab song along with the living legend Tom Morello from RATM is coming and you don't wanna miss that premiere. Kitsune up and see you next time 🦊🤘🔥

Unreal indeed 🦊🤘

Babymetal Master Performers:- "Be like a tree. Stay grounded. Connect with your roots. Turn over a new leaf. Bend before you break. Enjoy your unique natural beauty. Keep growing." That's Babymetal for you. Babymetal is the most unique metal experiences in the world right now. Not only their appearances, and their style and everything that surrounds them visually but they’re an incredible band as well. To really appreciate this band you must see their live performances, the backing band (Kami Band) are second to none. The girls are now young ladies and master performers. Kitsune Up 🦊🦊🦊🤘🤘🤘🇯🇵🇸🇬🇺🇸#notacult.

[@road-runner]

Good one, thanks! The studio version is great, the live version is even better and experiencing it irl is priceless. The intro is not part of the studio version. It actually spoils the breakdown, with the "Sakura sakura" melody. The crowd chants at the Budokan 2021 were forbidden due to very restrictive anticovid policies. So, the "crowd noise" was from previous concerts and had to be played through the sound system at the venue, like any other backing track. It may sound weird but it's a huge amount of work and it gives you an idea of their attention to the detail. The stage setup, the lights show, the pyro (not here, tho) the camera angles... Everything is perfect. They like to say "nothing happens by accident" and they mean it. They invest a lot of time, effort and money to put on a great show. What is a wolfpack?? Hahaha... 🤣 We are kitsunes and megitsunes (fox / vixen) individually and The ONE collectively. 🤘🦊 (KITSUNE UP!)

[@rah2287]

👍 👍 Great reaction and agree! Good choice and thanks for listening to our recommendations. Until next time.

[@Inosuke_Hashibira75]

Live BabyMetal is best BabyMetal 🔥🦊🔥 Time for BabyMetal Death legend 1997

[@flugelhornoldman1362]

Thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。 I believe this was filmed in March or April, 2021. As you see, Su commanded a "wave" reaction to the audience at 09:00. She did it on Day-3 (Feb.16, 2021) in 10 BM Budokan concerts for the first time. I remember that every audience (including me myself) was bemused because that was the first experience for fans (In baseball games, I have done it though). So the first attempt was not successful to create a synchronized wave. It was so messy that Moa gestured her frustration and slight anger with her tilted head and folded arms. Then the people at the venue desperately tried to do the right thing for the next wave. We managed to get Moa's smile at the second attempt. > (FYI, Moa's angry face was cute though. 😄)

[@bradkornatowski3866]

Breaks new headset cuz of BabyMetal. The Roman Gladiator spectacles got nothing on the girls. And the girls dont use blood or violence or sex or drugs, pure class. It takes 100's of highly skilled professionals to put on a BabyMetal show. Just picture a bunch of half crazy Japanese engineers building the stage and that is only one aspect. I swear they see how many LCDs they can put on it.

[@fundoshow]

Great reaction, Megitsune is my second favorite song after Headbanger. You can see how excited the crowd was when this song was performed during their World Tour in Asia and Australia 🔥🦊🤘🏻

[@fundoshow]

This is one of them maybe you will like it too kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2W4k6BtZ7uDpJo

[@akumukitsune91]

Great reaction as usual! You could do a different version of this song every week and I'd be fine with that HAHA! Looking forward to you working through the rest of their fantastic songs.

[@jeffconnors407]

Su will usually ask for a circle pit or a wall of death but because their stages when they play in Japan are so massive it took up all of the floor at the Budokan and people were sat only in the stands, hard to do a circle pit in the stands. In true Babymetal fashion to get the crowed revved up they replaced the circle pit with the wave. Even though there where Covid restrictions there stil would be no place to have a pit

[@ErikTVision]

Great reaction! My favorite live performances are Rondo of Nightmare (mischiefs of gods intro) and Headbanger at Moas birthday we’re she sings the second part of the song :)

[@dave4reel188]

I think you still need to check out Tales of the Destinies live from Tokyo Dome. 55k in attendance and the only time it has ever been performed live. And a little secret....day 1 and 2 of the Metal Galaxy shows 2019 are on YT in their entirety. 2 completely different shows.....Light Force night and Dark Force night.

[@metalka_]

Dark Night is my favorite! 😍😍🤘🦊

[@michelm.6033]

Thank you! You articulated my feelings for this band perfectly. I’ve seen hundreds upon hundreds of concerts in my lifetime. I don’t care what group someone might mention in my 60 years. I’ve seen all of them and absolutely no one; literally no one does it better. ❤️🦊

[@IAMisLove]

👍 Great reaction. As a reactor just remember, BABYMETAL breaks all the rules, so you are good to go!!!! 🦊 🖖 ❤

[@KrPa9781]

Nice reaction bro, i can't wait to see them live in 3 months for the first time im like really looking forward to it.

[@tugginmagroin8384]

You got yourself a new sub dude, now please do Kagerou.... Just the drums and solos in the intro will melt your brain!! 🤘🤘

[@martinmetal7481]

Your reactions to BabyMetal are just like mine was all them years ago . Megitsune is always in my top BabyMetal songs . I surrgest watching some of the other live Megitsune performances just for the audience participation part just for your own enjoyment. 😁🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼

[@creveco79]

Hello. I recomended babymetal headbanger live legend 1997. And megitsune live legend 1997. Is the same concert of gimmie chocolate

[@DannyD714]

in addition to traditional cameras they are using drone cameras flying around the arena. that's how they get those incredible shots passing over the stage. so kudos got to the editing staff as well who put it all together. i'd love to be part of one of these arena spectacles, but at the same time i'm glad i'm seeing them in a more intimate 6K seat theater in october. if it turns out to be the only time i ever see them live that's how i want it to be.

[@Grahlt]

Thanks for the Babymetal reaction. I think Su-Metal sounds fantastic at 2021 Budokan. I'm looking forward to seeing/hearing this with Momometal singing with Moametal in October.

[@holliwouldifshecould]

Until Babymetal, I would've said that gesture made me think of "Wolf Pack for life" or "Too Sweet" depending on which show/wrestler you watch. Now I always think of the kitsune sign.

[@quasiscorner2589]

I love the Budokan Black Night version where they pop out of the floor best

[@bobknox5646]

As previously stated Babymetal must only be viewed live. You have to watch Headbanger Legend of 1997 live. I personally will only watch reactions of Babymetal live performances because they are in a class of their own when it comes to live performance. It is quite literally performance art. Enjoyed your reaction keep up the good work.

[@GrudenSS]

Ya bro, all BABYMETAL is good, BUT live versions are the best option always. They're 100% a live band and experience

[@Ganimal83]

I wannaaa seee a biiiiig waaaaaave!!

[@metalka_]

Man, you're wasting your time not reacting to BABYMETAL! 4 albums and you still haven't seen anything! From the first album BABYMETAL Death Live Legend 1997 and Headbangeeeeer, since you already know Megitsune. You will never regret listening to BABYMETAL. 🤘🦊

[@TheTeufelpanzerVI]

Another great reaction! You were wondering about favorite Babymetal songs...whew, that's a tough one! Personally, I have two tied for the top, "Syncopation" kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4uUYn2Lj7JrjJI and "AMORE" kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHfYqmh7ltd0f8k (my favorite Su Metal solo song). Both are compilation videos, but well done. Looking forward to your next Babymetal experience!

[@DunceInAwhile]

Ok... I have been trying to get reactors to use the subtitled versions of the videos for ages and they never do. You use the subtitled version but don't have them on... What gives? lol Thanks for the reaction, though! 🔥🦊🤘

[@josephdoo]
