Babymetal on Black Metal, 'Amore,' 'GJ!' + More

[@GamerTime1226]

2:50 Yui and Moa telepathically communicating again. xD

[@edn.n5415]

+GamerTime1226 verdade kkkkk

[@HalfiDesfarizly]

Lol

[@Lungsy1988]

+GamerTime1226 I now want them to do this in every interview from now on hahaha

[@allmarkber]

+GamerTime1226 hahahaha they did it again

[@GamerTime1226]

+Blood sucker There are people who ship Yui and Moa. They call it Moi.

[@SladeWilson1986]

yay! every day with a new Babymetal video is a good day. Thanks!

[@NalinX]

A quick tour thru Yui-Metal's thoughts _______________________________________ 0:38 'Wow! Is that a tomato-kun on Su-metal's head ?' 0:44 'Hey, Moa ? do you see that tomato ??' (Moa doesn't notice) 1:16 'Really ? You guys think I want to speak ?? Ahhh' 2:45 'Great! Su-metal's started with dopey answers again... must---control---laughter' 2:50 'Hey, Moa ! Tell me you saw that.... ' ( Best-metal acknowledges with a big smile) 2:55 'Yatta. At least Moa gets it. ' :D Big smiles all around !

[@edwardzavala7439]

Props to loud wire for asking interesting questions \v/

[@ChanelleFT]

I was not that cool at 15. How many pre/teens can say they front a metal band and sing though thousands of people? God bless them.

[@FlipperWolf]

+Chanelle FT And you're still not that cool as of today :v

[@ChanelleFT]

My mom says I'm cool so um no *flips hair*

[@AscentToZenith]

+FlipperWolf Damn lol

[@EDsavant]

+Chanelle FT 16/18/16

[@robxsiq7744]

+Chanelle FT well to be fair, they never were in front of audiences before hitting their teens (outside of small studio audiences filled with weirdos in early sakura gakuin days). There have been plenty of huge child stars before of course, but metal?...well, you got a number of things. a teen j-pop / metal fusion band with 3 female japanese idols hitting the top 20 charts in the west. They are certainly breaking barriers. God did bless them..well, the Fox god anyhow.

[@0000037V]

Black Babymetal for me has the best contrast between metal and kawaii. Both girls are really cute and the music is the strongest from Babymetal. I love GJ and Sis.Anger

[@Tarachvan515gy]

Yui's smile at 2:52! And Moa holding back at 2:59 ughhh

[@NateRiversforRever]

I never disliked this band, but I have more respect for them after seeing this video. Keep up the good work!

[@jamesdick2580]

i know what gives me alot of respect for them is the pics i've seen of them basically being accepted into the world by many bands who could be considered the pillars of metal music.

[@DiegoCanizo]

Yui's smile though...

[@davidbatey7530]

Awesome video! Keep it up Loudwire!

[@AscentToZenith]

I like all of the edgy 'metal' fans in the comments. So many of you are trying to bash this because it isn't 'metal'. Their songs are infused with some J pop elements, sure. Doesn't make it that bad. They do it pretty damn well, I respect them for that. And if you can't, you should grow up and stop living in the hole you live in.

[@nomusician4737]

+Ascent To Zenith Earlier today a metalhead friend of mine hade "They're not playing real metal"-rant. I showed him a cover of Sis Anger I found and asked him if it was metal when a guy growled the same song. He was quite embarrassed after that. So..ehh..yeah.

[@Evelina_412]

You understand it rather weirdly. A lot of people don't like it not because it's infused with pop (metal was mixed with plenty of genres before), but because the sound isn't very appealing.

[@bonhzeppelin9882]

+Evelina999 - by "sound" I'm assuming you mean the girls' (Yui, Moa) voices. I know some Metalheads just can't stand, and get past their little baby/child like, high pitched voices and chants. The music by itself, otherwise is just fine. =)

[@Evelina_412]

Bohnzeppelin Yeah, it's the annoying voices and some of their songs are pretty watered down.

[@bonhzeppelin9882]

+Evelina999 - Not arguin' or being sarcastic but what do you mean by watered down? I'm a Metalhead from the 80's - 90's and Babymetal's stuff is like awesome Deja-Vu to me. I'm not up to date with much of today's Metal. I can't get past the Gutteral, Grunting, Growling vocals! =\. I'm just as puzzled by this, as are current Metalheads puzzled by Yui's and Moa's voices! xD

[@EmmureMARIO64]

GJ is definitely one of my favorite songs from Metal Resistance

[@Singulitarian]

Thank you Loudwire and BABYMETAL.

[@agmohdadi]

Guys, we need bigger cup to contain the tears of the haters!

[@bonhzeppelin9882]

+agmohdadi Definitely, and Lots of soft, fluffy, seat cushions for their Sore butts.

[@venger]

+agmohdadi The Hover dam couldn't contain the salty rage tears of the fucktard metal elitists.

[@redredred407]

ahahaha .... bet you that

[@yuibot5998]

Damn I hope Yui can still entertain the world somehow, she's just...awesome. They all are of course. I think people are nuts who think she just up and quit because she didn't like it...the 3 were like sisters and grew up together. Plus her huge ass back brace and trouble moving in her last couple concerts with BM goes along with her statement of resignation to the fans.

[@diosati8849]

GJ is such an amazing song, it gives me the chills of how good it is.

[@tianovski79]

i am learning nihongo right now so i won't miss anything what they say. thanks babymetal! i love yui's voice..

[@Jacky78990]

I would melt every time Moa would smile, wouldn't even be able to finish the interview😻

[@junjiezerocool3307]

Tales of Destinies is like Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, I keep on skipping it at first but now I'm addicted to it.

[@youngnomad]

Same!

[@Toughguysdontdance12]

Bohemian Rhapsody? Are you drunk? No, it's more like Dream Theater on drugs.

[@NalinX]

+Toughguysdontdance12 Definitely more DT than Queen... The One is very Queen-y tho

[@OzziePete1]

+Junjie ZEROCOOL No. Bohemian Rhapsody actually follows classical music format. We studied it when it was released in 1975 at High School for comparison to form & modern music. Tales of The Destinies reminds me of prog rock from that same era. Defined parts brought together with bridge & sequences tying it all together. TOTD is right up Mikio Fujioka's alley musically. He does Jazz Fusion but I don;t know if the other guitarist (Takayoshi Ohmura) or the bassist (BOH) could handle that. It's a departure from what they normally play very well. The drummer (Aoyama Hideki) would have to step up too, but his counterpart within Kami ranks, Maeta, does Jazz drumming so may be able to do it.

[@Lungsy1988]

+Ozzy Pete Dude, it's 10% Queen. 90% Dream Theater. If you don't know much of them, listen to their early 90's stuff. TOTAL inspiration for TOTD. Koba would tell you that himself. Even during The One, there's very John Petrucci elements in it. I'm classically trained too. Very obvious that it's more of a TD tribute, than any other band

[@Baraka_Obama_]

Leda did guitar and bass on both tracks

[@Lungsy1988]

+Vic Rattlehead619 Leda is a genius!

[@0i0eYeZonYoU0i0]

+Vic Rattlehead619 what songs?

[@larsulrich26ulrich42]

+Hero Yui Akatsuki and Amore, he played bass and guitar on these songs.

[@LORE_METAL]

Tales of the Destinies live on stage... I really can't figure out how it can be done and which kind of choreography would fit. I just know this thing: it would be awesome.

[@bonhzeppelin9882]

+Lorenzo Conti - Check out today's latest Loudwire interview which addresses that. =)

[@79703382]

I really can't wait that performed

[@renecolorado9309]

Babymetal ! \m/ can't wait to see them on tour in the US ! and of course Tokyo Dome ! i shall bring my damn little pink Sakura Gakuin flag !

[@karonain]

Lol why with sakura gakuin flag? they aren't apart of that sakura gakuin anymore.

[@agmohdadi]

+HANA CHAN To show that we also support their old group. They once said in their first episode of LoGiRL that they wanted more people to know more about their beloved mother group, Sakura Gakuin through their activities with BABYMETAL. These girls really cherish Sakura Gakuin.

[@トシ-j8g]

ゆいちゃん可愛いわ～

[@sozorogokoro498]

Sis. Anger is high and deep!

[@blacktheism7014]

su speak so naturally in interview, she the spokeperson of the group just like yoshiki is to X japan

[@Chibanah]

I like to listen to Su and she can talk a lot :D

[@comicker-cz4tj]

すうちゃんの説明の仕方が「ちからうどん」に匹敵してノリノリで楽しそうｗボディアクションは英語話す時にも役立つよね

[@nthparadox]

Like this interview of Babymetal a lot more natural than the their first interviews.

[@NalinX]

just need to see MoiMoi wreck the stage while performing Sis Anger

[@OzziePete1]

+Nalin X If they don't fall about laughing, they will blow doors off the venue when they do that. I'm sure Su will watch from sidestage to see the reaction!

[@NalinX]

+Ozzy Pete Amen, brother !

[@eljonny3801]

Sis Anger is brutal... 🤘🏼🤘🏼☠☠

[@captn_hanky]

This band will be bigger than metallica

[@InternetsToughestGuy]

thank you!

[@FinR1256]

HOW CAN THEY UNDERSTAND HIS QUESTIONS BUT THEY ANSWER IN JAPANESE I'M SO CONFUSED SOMEONE HELPPP

[@thismyname2501]

Listening is easier than speaking😁

[@harveydjent_]

So for anyone that's curious about BABYMETAL doing a black metal song, I encourage you to go and look up the song in question. It's not 100% black metal, but it's actually still brutal as fuck.

[@EddieLJ18]

+DethMetLKhaos it's not black metal at all... not that it's a bad thing, not at all, but don't call it for something it isn't

[@EddieLJ18]

+DethMetLKhaos apologies, listened to the wrong song. it is indeed brutal as fuck!

[@mmTicoInc]

[@LIKEAB4WS]

[@AwesomeKazuaki]

Graham who is your favorite girl? i thought your fave is Suzuka.

[@karonain]

The mature people will choose Suzuka. The immature people and the anime hardcore fan will choose Yui or Moa.

[@superkev-ls4kn]

Yui-chan. Just can't get over how freaking adorable she is.

[@216trixie]

They talk like seasoned pros.

[@sinnystaystxned]

+216trixie 6 years is quite seasoned, I think. Especially since they started at pre-teen age. They've gradually gotten better at answering international interviews the last couple of years.

[@Toughguysdontdance12]

Sis Anger is more Death metal than Black metal, I find it similar to bands like Beneath the massacre, Necrophagist and definitely Decapitated, just like Sam Dunn said in BANGER.

[@Toughguysdontdance12]

+Emanresu Yep. I can see the black metal touch you say but is mostly melodic death and even technical death. And yes, labels can be annoying, but sometimes are helpful if you want to know new music for example.

[@turdfergeson8641]

am I the only one who thought the breakdown in Megitsune sounds exactly like a Cryptopsy song?

[@Toughguysdontdance12]

Totally. Kind of "slug chug" style with similar gutturals. Also, could be any kind of general similarity between Megitsune and Phobophile, for example? Or am I crazy?

[@techonotte]

MOAMETAL見つめすぎ、私にも目線お願いします！

[@leo-op9nj]

ゆいちゃんの”頑張ってるお父さん”が”顔笑ってる父兄さん”に聞こえてしまった。最近Metal resistanceを大音量で聴きすぎてるから耳悪くなったのかな。

[@Corranhorn122]

I feel like when they are talking about sis anger and "black metal", what they are actually saying is "extreme metal". It's pretty understandable, seeing as how they openly profess to have come from nonmetal backgrounds. From my perspective, the song is a pretty straightforward tech death-inspired song and doesn't have much to do with black metal. That said, it's still a nice little ditty. On another note, I lOVE UNBLESSING THE PURITY!!! :D

[@bonhzeppelin9882]

+Corranhorn122 - A good article about Black Metal ritesoftheblackmoon.tripod.com/article21.html

[@Corranhorn122]

+Bohnzeppelin Thanks, but is there something related to my comment that you are responding to? I'm pretty confident in what I'm saying.

[@bonhzeppelin9882]

Corranhorn122 Nope, just thought you'd like it. I don't know much about the genres so I did a bit of research and found some interesting stuff. Also, It's kind of confusing to me when tracks w/only Yui and Moa are called black metal. wtf? I guess it's - again - their way of slightly morphing things and making them uniquely their own. (i.e. Fox hand sign vs II Cornuto, Mosh'sh vs MOSH).

[@chankappa5610]

I hope nd wait for watchin their to play Tales of The Destinies!! =D

[@Wulfcry]

I've got this cool 3D Baby Metal picture from the latest Hammer issue read em and weep they probably go like hot buns.

[@fargieindra86]

Moa-chan!!! 🍺🍺🍺 she smiled at Yui again at 2:52 awwwwwww

[@tallonwarhawk]

and the band that i have so many conflicting feelings about.

[@ars4455]

Could anyone who speaks Japanese tell me what the heck "skedô", "isquedô" or "iskerô" or something like that means?...they say that a lot and apparently they have different meanings like "to get" in English

[@syahiedainulyaqien5565]

Amore or Akatsuki ?

[@blacknemesy]

Babymetal : make a song about celebrating fatherhood Western women : wait, that's illegal!

[@richardolate2749]

[@pelgervampireduck]

amore is kinda "happy", or "bittersweet". akatsuki is sad, super sad, it's "I can't stop crying so please kill me now before I slice my own wrists"-sad.

[@Rafamrkz]

I actually don't like "tales of destiny", just because the intro riff, it's the same as in "the one" but faster

[@ironmaiden5901]

+Rafamrkz I like that fast intro riff. I think of "Tales of the Destinies" as a long intro for "The One". They go well together

[@autohmae]

Koba in an interview mentioned Tales of the Destinies and The One started out as one long song. :-)

[@sriyektiutami7412]

Yui looked at Moa like that :v can't u just hide your love to your crush lol

[@GreatSmithanon]

I can't for the life of me understand why the fuck this act is considered metal. It's pop with a slight edge at best.

[@lampshadebee1035]

+GreatSmithanon to be fair, they are watered down metal, hence the name 'baby metal'

[@AscentToZenith]

+GreatSmithanon Stop trying to be so edgy and take a step back. It has catchy parts and it has good heavy parts. Go listen to their song Karate.

[@bonhzeppelin9882]

+GreatSmithanon - Listen to Babymetal Death and Sis.Anger ... if you don't think that's Heavy Metal - w a slight edge - I suggest you take Heavy Metal 101, and listen to Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath for an overall perspective of what Heavy Metal actually is. Also, Babymetal have been accepted by some of the Greatest, Heavy Metal acts in history, and who would know better what "Real" Heavy Metal is. It's a new Genre, simple as that.

[@lampshadebee1035]

Bohnzeppelin yah, just because there isn't screaming and a shit ton have drum bashing don't mean it's not metal

[@lghths]

there is really nothing to get but the fact that people have different Music tastes

[@bonhzeppelin9882]

+Ludvig R I can respect your opinion on not liking them. To each their own, I'm ok with that. Props to you not $hitting on them because it ain't your thing! I was around during the Golden (& Dark) Age of heavy metal in the 70's thru the 80's. Babymetal brought back so many great elements from that era. Awesome songs, Strong vocals and musicianship, the Shreddin' skilled guitar solos, etc. They even copped most of the chords structure from Master Of Puppets in one of their songs! It was a flasback for me and many others. The Jpop thing was ttly confusing @ 1st but I figured it out and the Girls are great performers. Overall, Babymetal PWNS!

[@tax_evad3r]

This isnt metal.

[@ullanorakk252]

+Slayze Neither is the synth crap Burzum released. Still you use the nazi arsonist and murderer as profile pic. Go figure.....

[@tax_evad3r]

Ulla Norakk Varg has nothing to do with this. I just stated that Babymetal has nothing to do with metal, as they are merely a j-pop/rock group.

[@tax_evad3r]

+taka ku Well, its just that every metal page, magazine writes about them and acts as if they are the biggest metal band in the world. Not that I dont appreciate their talent, its just that its mostly j-poprock, so calling the metal is false advertising.

[@ullanorakk252]

That's what happens when something is popular. You should have been around when Black Album hit the charts. How DARE "normal people" like Metallica! I have to hate them now.. That's basically what happened..... Not comparing them to Metallica, but people hate when "metal" become mainstream.

[@TheLeomarti]

Lol, with the (obvious) exception of the 3 girls, the band is metal musicians playing metal music, that's just a fact
