Babymetal Reaction - Headbanger LIVE Budokan Black Night 2014

[@rickwagner-]

⚡ 💀 💕 / 🤘 That was the final song of a two song encore that night at Budokan. With the great Hideki Aoyama on drums. This one is in a bit of a lower register for Su, which I always love hearing. The blu-ray for those Budokan Red Night and Black Night shows is one of the best deals via Amazon, etc. BTW, BABYMETAL will be streaming both nights of the Tokyo Dome concert on their KZbin channel. Friday, April 10th at 8 PM (Japan Time): "Tokyo Dome: Red Night". Saturday, April 11th at 8 PM (Japan Time): "Tokyo Dome: Black Night". Both shows last about an hour and a half each.

[@Grington300]

That will be midday in the UK for both days :-)

I agree that Su sounds SO good in the middle to low register. I wish there was more songs for her in that register area.

[@Grington300]

If you watch the live at Legend 1997 version you do get to see Mikio doing the guitar solo. 'Headbanger' is right up there in my list of favourites too and I'm with you on the vocals in death metal etc. It's so much better with Su-metal's vocals. 'Headbanger' is about a girl going to her first metal concert on her 15th birthday. On their 15th birthdays Yui and Moa each took over lead vocals half way through (there are fan cam videos) and last year Moa did it again for her 20th birthday at Legend M (it is not on KZbin but just ask if you want the link to see her sing ... and do the scream at the end too). The previous night to when this one at Budokan was filmed Yui fell off stage during the call and response bit - Su and Moa finished it without her, but she was back on stage and smiling for the last song - then Moa face-planted in that one and twisted her knee or ankle, but carried on and did all the choreo too. You want a newer song .... how about something completely different - it is fan cam only at the moment, but this one has had the sound remastered so it isn't too bad. This song has caught everybody by surprise 'BxMxC' kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJuxeXSQdqaEq8k

[@autohmae]

"is right up there in my list of favourites" Same, but my list includes almost all their songs. :-)

[@Grington300]

@@autohmae Ha ha, so does mine, but if I were forced to rank them this is right up as a permanent member of the top 5 of all those favourites.

[@autohmae]

@@Grington300 honestly, I'm kind of afraid to rank them to much, it's like choosing between your own kids. Some really hard choices would need to be made. Babymetal has such diversity in songs so it's also like comparing apples and organges. What I do have is favorite performances of songs.

[@Grington300]

@@autohmae Yeah I get that. I did the sorter thing, just for my own amusement - you can give a tie where you can't choose between one song and another. I did it again and not all the results were the same on a different day, but the songs at the very top of my list (that would be about the top 40) were generally consistent ... but it is all academic as there isn't one song in there that I won't listen to and the ones not in my top 40 right now could move up at any time. I doubt any one of us would have a list that was even closely matched with anybody else's.

[@autohmae]

@@Grington300 Ahh ! but the tie option is just cheating :-) See, with the tie option, I can play too, but it's without the tie option that it becomes a hart-ripping act. Like Highlander: "There Can Be Only One" :-)

[@ndox9009]

Budokan is a place that many Japanese band wish and dream can play solo on that place even just one time and Babymetal is once one of them then 2 years later BABYMETAL play solo at Tokyo Dome for two night with 110K sold out tickets.

[@markmark6378]

Still really is my fav BABYMETAL song. Budokan is a special venue, especially for the Japanese. So not really just any old crowd. If I am not mistaken they were the youngest or one of the youngest entertainers to have played there. If you get to Budokan, you have essentially made it in Japan. A lot of BABYMETAL fans love the 2 night stand at Budokan (Red Night and Black night). Mostly for the sound. Also it is pretty clear that there wasn't many backing tracks for Yui and Moa. They sang pretty much all of it. Now on Red Night(1st night) when they did Headbanger, there were no guard rails in place and Yui fell right off the ramp to the floor. You can't really see much of the tumble, it was dark in the area,but Yui did not come back to finish Headbanger. But, Trooper that she was she came back for the last song, Ijame, Dame, Zettai. Which starts off with Su in the spot light and Yui and Moa in darkness unseen. When the lights came up, there was Yui raring to go and the crowd went ballistic. Also during that final song, Moa took a tumble and obviously tweaked her back and finished the song in obvious discomfort. This kind of bravery and professionalism is what makes us fans so loyal. That they just would not quit performing no matter what. They came back at the next nights show and put on a pretty perfect performance. Anyway, all part of BABYMETAL lore now. Sorry for rambling so much. But, their example of professionalism at such a young age and the downright iron will to not give up always fills my heart with admiration.

[@baumi-metal9123]

Yep they took a lot of beating in the red night, but took it like bloody professionals - Respect ! And you can clearly see Moas painful face in Ijime....

[@BigPete44]

[@aldrianade1010]

this is the best "crowd control" song of babymetal...nice react

[@stevebiko7125]

"Headbanger!!!" is definitely in my top 5 BABYMETAL tracks. Su actually screams twice in this song, and I always get chills when she does. For something more recent check out "PA PA YA!!", which they released last year (2019) as a single off of their latest album _Metal Galaxy_ (released the same year). BABYMETAL - PA PA YA!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYCaimuEqNOeiMk

[@icebalm]

"With the legendary long black hair gorgeously disordered, this crazy blooming flower will soon disappear. Now the time has come. I no longer hesitate. I tightly hold my discount railway tickets. To the east, to the west, to the south, to the north. Today I rush to the very front of stage center. On the left side, on the right side, standing up still, leaning back, jumping toward the stage, leaning over the fence, rolling over the crowd, and then all deeply headbanging. This special night of my fifteen I'll never forget. All the crybabies, get out of here! It'll never come again and it goes by so fast. I etch in my heart this special night of my fifteen." Hi Detrucci! Good reaction! "Headbanger!" is a song about a girl going to her first metal concert on her 15th birthday. It's easily my favorite song on the first album. The 2 night Budokan concert is one of the best concerts they've done. I pull out the bluray every now and then and rewatch it. The Nippon Budokan was originally built as a judo arena for the 1964 Tokyo Summer Olympics, which is why it's got the stage in the center with the audience all around, it's been a pretty famous venue for many artists to play. I'm with you man, I really like melodic metal. I'm not a fan of cookie monster vocals. I don't generally recommend the newer stuff because Amuse really likes to copyright block it all. I really like the new "Metal Galaxy" album that was released last year, but I'm not sure if I can actually recommend any songs on it that won't get blocked. I don't think any of the proshots are on youtube for that very reason, except maybe for the Glastonbury set, but that had really bad audio problems. Maybe these make it through: Kagerou - kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2fHhqmOmLSmY5I - This was live on the 2019 US tour but it doesn't say where this video was shot. Pretty good for a fan cam. This is my favorite song on the new album and it's got a solo intro from the Kami's of the West. Chosen Avenger: Riho BxMxC - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJuxeXSQdqaEq8k - Live at Brussels 2020 Europe tour. Second favorite on the album. Picked this one because the audio is pretty good for a fan cam. Chosen Avenger: Momoko PA PA YA - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYCaimuEqNOeiMk - Live video from Yokohama Arena 2018 over the studio recording audio. My third favorite on the new album. There's a live version from Glastonbury but like I said it's got audio issues so this is the best version on youtube. Chosen Avenger: Kano Also, celebrating BABYMETAL's 10 year anniversary they're going to be streaming their Tokyo Dome performance from 2016 on youtube this Friday and Saturday! twitter.com/BABYMETAL_JAPAN/status/1247849195714666496

[@Jordan-Ramses]

They have such great attention to detail. When the guitars drop out and they do the softer part the lights change from red to blue. When Yui and Moa skip back to the center of the stage they are perfectly synchronized.

[@Jed-qi8wo]

I don't think you've done it yet but Catch Me If You Can with the solo intro is right up your alley. Its heavy AF. Great reaction Detrucci. Babymetal, Rammstein, and Slipknot are my jams right now. Keep em coming.

[@MultiScooter63]

Yep I think concerning the solos within the intro, like the hell of a 6 string bass player, this one will soothe you more, please check this one !!!

[@DarkTailsTheFox]

Ah, the infamous microphone roll, an excellent recovery. Lmao

[@AlanG512]

This is the song that got me hooked. Love that scream!

[@johnschultz7765]

For this song, about a girl going to her first heavy metal concert on her 15th birthday, they did special versions for each Yui and Moa on their 15th at their first Europe concerts (Paris and Köln) just before Sonisphere 2014. Suu passes the mic and they take over the lead vocal just before the breakdown. At Legend XX (2017), the lyric was changed to "night of my 20th" in honor of Suu's birthday at the performance in Hiroshima (Suu's hometown). Last summer at Legend M, in Moa's home prefecture, in honor of her 20th, the lead was again transferred to her as in 2014 (Ganbare Moachan!). Moa totally nailed it. And her mature voice is really, I mean really, good! Her vibrato got a little wide on one note, so she must have been a bit nervous, but as always, professional Moa. It is sometimes referred to as Moabanger. Another great reaction, Detrucci. Love your style.

[@tonygriffin_]

Headobang! Headobang! Great reaction! I'm kinda surprised you hadn't found it before. You only play Budokan when you're invited to. There's another version where Moa and Yui get given hand-held smoke cannons for parts of this show - kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5vNiI2mm8SdidU . Gotta recommend the live version of Catch Me if You Can too -kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHKxmYyFZrl_pNE .

[@Grington300]

I don't think they were the first metal band to play Budokan (it was built in 1964 and The Beatles were the very first band to play it), but they were the youngest average age female band to ever play there.

[@tonygriffin_]

@@Grington300 Thanks as usual for the correction. BTW, Babymetal are showing 2 whole concerts on KZbin tomorrow for free - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZuxZqB8m5iMiMk .

[@autohmae]

It's amazing, because it's both heavy and melodic ! :-)

[@wildething7923]

One of my absolute favourites, good reaction. My personal favourite from their latest album is BxMxC, only fam cams of this up to now though, but there are a few good ones. There is an official video of Shanti Shanti Shanti though this is just concert footage with studio sound, same with Elevator girl. There are a couple of music videos, Distortion and Starlight, though these don't show the girls. They also have a video of Pa Pa Ya, I'm not too sure about the audio on that one though (live or studio), not one of my favourites to be honest. I'm sure you will find something you like.

[@Shoe-metal]

This was my favorite song on the first album and I think it remains my favorite overall. For a long time I couldn't decide between it and Onedari, so we may have similar tastes. 😊 For the latest songs off the latest album, Metal Galaxy, you might have more trouble with copyright. But as others have mentioned, BxMxC is a standout despite only having fancams to see it performed (though that, and the fact that it was only released in Japan, helps with copyright). It is only three minutes, so one approach you could take would be to react to both the CD audio - link with lyrics kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHuaqZ2jgNmEnaM - and a fancam in a single reaction, in whichever order you'd prefer. Other songs from the album which have official (performance) videos include PA PA YA!! and Shanti Shanti Shanti, which are very different. Of the two maybe PA PA YA!! would suit you more, but there might be copyright issues if you handled it like normal.

[@baumi-metal9123]

Yep Rick is right- Budokan bluray is only 8.99 in Germany. The Wembley DVD however is 50 bucks!!! BUT the sound on Wembley is better! So I think it's worth it. Dont miss the Tokyo Dome tomorrow! He-Do-Ba-n-Gya !!!

[@nzalols7682]

This is my favourite song with Tale of destinies, but in The legend S 1997 the show is more spectacular, or Legend M (2019) when Moa sing the final part.

[@thapsus1]

🤘🤘 my favourite style too, definately. And daughters too. 3 year old stole the headphones again, listened the song, listened you talking (and she doesn’t even understand english), and announced that we are going to go see them live. Well Ok then. 😀 Cheers.

[@Detrucci]

That is so sweet 😁

[@itstillbyme]

this performance are from the 2nd day "BM Live Budokan Black Night Apocalypse 2014". when they played this song the night before (Red Night Apocalypse), YuiMetal fall from the stage, so Su-Metal & MoaMetal has to finished the song without her. when the crowd still in shocked & worried after that incident, miraculously for the next song (last song) she's back to the stage like nothing ever happen. but unfortunately this time is MoaMetal whose slips & injured her left foot. despite the injury, she's still performing the dance choreo till the end & try her best to keep it together (fighting the tears). its amazing that the three young girls from Japan are more profesional & more "metal" than some elitist. as you may know that the gong are a homage to the band "X-Japan" & in the MV there's also a neck brace, homage to Yoshiki (pianist-drummer) "X-Japan". while this performance is good, but i think "Legend 1997 at Makuhari Messe" version is more epic. just like a comment from someone saying,.. "its not over before the skinny girl hit the gong",.. LoL

[@martinmetal7481]

The fans all over the world are well rehearsed and are just waiting to do the call and responce and singalong They even sing the intro of Road of Resistance now . Moa mentioned she like seeing all the towels swinging round during Pa Pa Ya and was disappointed not to see many in 2019 . The fans bought , or made there own . So this year when it was performed the towels came out and swinging round heads like mad .

[@vanillagorilla8438]

This is the cutest, most brutal thing I've ever seen... 😲🤩🤘🎸😍🔥

[@Brainth_1780]

From this same concert, I'd recommend Akatsuki. It's a solo from Su, one of my favorites. If you want something new, on the other hand, I have to second the BxMxC recommendation, the link by Grington300 is the best one out there, it sounds really good despite being a fancam. Other than that, PA PA YA!! is good, Shanti Shanti is really interesting (I'd still recommend BxMxC above both of them though) I'm glad you're still doing BABYMETAL!

[@richdandanell2911]

In the video Legend of 1997 Headbanger , they show the band a lot more including the sweet solo .

[@Wombatmetal]

Headbanger was the first song of theirs I heard. Still a favorite after many years. You might try PA PA YA! from GLastonbury. It's a newer song, and the video is from the BBC channel and not an Amuse video. That might not get blocked. The only downside is that it is from Glastonbury and most of the crowd hadn't heard Babymetal before they hit the stage and it was a shock to them, and it is a pop festival to boot. So not a Babymetal crowd at all (the festival was sold out 6 months before the girls were announced) kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpKthoqIr853h8U

Great reaction, thanks! One of my favorite songs, for sure! Still love the Moa and the mic situation at the gong scene, did you notice how she puts the mic safe? Newer stuff? Sure! Here is a pretty good live compilation of "Arkadia", one of their finest creations: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWmQfpmirdqIars Enjoy and Stay safe!

[@schelin1447]

When they brought this song back into their setlist last year I was so happy. Such a great live song! On the night before (Red Night), Yui fell of the stage during this song, but she came back like a pro and finished the set. You should check out the version when MOA takes over the mic in the middle of the song, at her 20th birthday show in Nagoya, Legend M...that brought tears to my eyes! Enjoy: vimeo.com/365503288

[@stevechevy3382]

Nice reaction. This song is about going to your first concert and then realizing this feeling won't last so you etch it into your heart to remember it forever. Now imagine if this was the first concert you went to. Ruined for life. Chasing the unicorn. there's not much out there that's equal to that. But lucky for us Babymetal is still around and on tour. Making new fans ruined. LOL. They brought the heavy for Headbanger. For a song with a similar flavor on the drums. Try Amore a Su solo song. Features Su's amazing stage presence and the Kamiband gets to shine throughout the song. Along with some more stage theatrics. Su starts the song on top of the stage rigging. Babymetal tries to get even the folk in the nosebleed seats their monies worth. Something from the new album you say. Divine Attack the first release and a song Su had a hand in writing the lyrics for. Enjoy the journey into the metalverses of Babymetal.

[@MetalGuitarTimo]

best new song probably is arcadia or if you want to listen to them as they are supposed to be listened to: Starlight + Shine + Arcadia (the last 3 Songs of the Album and meant as a trinity)

[@兵庫のケロヨン-i1x]

2019? PA PA YA!! (feat. F.HERO) (OFFICIAL) is best BM song for me.

[@MacTaipan]

I saw your disappointment during the solo. I agree, they could have given the guitarist that five seconds. I‘m pretty sure during the crowd interaction part there‘s a background voice at well, not only the crowd. Just a personal thing, I always find that scene at the end where they are crawling towards the gong a bit disturbing, because for some reason it reminds me of a scene in the evil video in „The Ring“ (Japanese version). Although it probably looks nothing like it if I were to check back. Has your reaction to „Onedari Daisakusen“ gotten blocked? I wanted to watch it again, but can’t find it.

[@kazu.h7393]

Man, this song is just so good! I absolutely love it. I do think you should've reacted to the Legend 1997 version tho. But yeah, you can't go wrong with Babymetal, so I guess it doesn't matter. I don't think they have any bad performance. They're just so talented! Everyone. Su, Yui, Moa, the Kami band, every person involved on this beautiful project! 🦊🖤

Really enjoyed your "rambling", because it was actually what you think and what you liked about it. That's what these reaction videos are for in my opinion. If you want another song from the Budokan shows, there's always Akatsuki (kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWOWaGV5arV9gq8), one of my favorite songs from Babymetal, because it has everything (except for Moa and Yui, because it's a Su solo). Beautiful vocals, beautiful guitars, pounding double bass drums and a lot of performance from Su. If you want something new, try Starlight (official video kzbin.info/www/bejne/noG5qWp_lt-We9k. I don't think there's a live version on KZbin). That's my favorite from the 2019 Metal Galaxy Album. It's the unofficial tribute to Mikio Fujioka, the Kimi Band guitarist who died at the beginning of 2018 from a fall off of a observation deck while star gazing. It also has a lot of English lyrics in it, if you listen to them you'll understand why it's a tribute. Especially the backing lyrics sung by Moa are super emotional because of it.

[@DarthRayj]

It may not be everyone's taste but I personally quite enjoy Da Da Dance, it's almost more of an electronic-metal though. Shanti Shanti is very unique too, but honestly I like at least half of their newest album a lot.
