Couple Reacts to Babymetal "Mirror Mirror"

[@flugelhornoldman1362]

Thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。I can't wait to see this song performed live in the two-days concerts this week-end (April 1 / 2). I have tickets 😍 As you know "Difference and Diversity" is another name of BABYMETAL. Regarding the contrast between English lyrics and Japanese lyrics, Su said "I understand that two languages express two-facedness of human being". [Source : magazine PMC vol.27 page 39] So the difference between almost natural voice and effected voice may be intended to emphasize the dichotomy. And the passage too fast to grasp "Double, double, toil and trouble" and "Fire burn and cauldron bubble" is by Moa. Su said in the article she loves the part by Moa in the 2nd verse.

Great reaction. 'Mirror Mirror' isn't the first time they've strayed into Prog Metal in their songs (as you know they had 'Tales of the Destinies' on the second album as long ago as 2016) - but it is the first time Su has channelled Snow White's step mother or Moa has quoted Shakespeare's witches from MacBeth ... as far as I know.🤘🦊🤘 No, there are no collaborations on this album - it is such a good album too. Did you hear, at the shows in January they teased at the end that a new third member may be revealed in their next concerts on 1st and 2nd April? We assume that was what they were doing anyway, but if it is true nobody knows who it will be (but most people think Momoko, the last remaining Avenger, is the most likely).

If they can do mirror mirror it's about time they pulled their finger out and made another attempt at ToTD imo :D

@@Grington300 So.........I just spent 15 minutes of my life trying to find out what the acronym OTFGK meant 🤦‍♀ The penny finally dropped in mid-search 🤣. Am I dumb? OTFGK (but I suspect he has a definite opinion on THAT). Havee fun!

@@astrafaan Haha, sorry, I assumed you knew 🤣 and it shows I'm the dumb one.

Nice one, thanks! And with simpler you mean it has some intricate prog metal riffing with several time signatures, a crazy metalcore drum pattern, a nasty brutal breakdown and Su's gorgeous vocals, as always. Yeah, it's simple.... simply amazing and mind-blowing. 😁

Welcome back to BabyMetal's metalverse 🦊🤘🌐 I'm glad to see you're back reacting to this new BM single I'm pretty sure everyone was looking for and is even one of SuMetal's favorite from this album. I like the progressive metal elements, that heavy breakdown and the existential questions. There's also a reference to Macbeth by Shakespeare in the lyrics. Here's some official info: Mirror Mirror (MIRROR) _Mirror, mirror on the wall...this song embodies a parallel world where the world inside the mirror and the world of reality go back and forth._ _Is what you see in the mirror your true self or the self you wish to be?_ I noticed some people are getting some troubles understanding the lyrics so here's the lyrics translated with some help for ya. Thanks for sharing this, the rest of the album tracks are already available in their own channel, so get ready for more blaster tracks. If you're looking for the more heavier songs then i guess you should go with MAYA, Believing and maybe METALIZM, although this one is really different so open your mind. See you next time and put your kitsune up!🦊🤘🪞 Lyrics : THE OTHER METAL / RYU-METAL Music : RYU-METAL　 Arrangement : MEGMETAL [Lyrics] MIRROR MIRROR Listen to my wish. Who's the fairest of them all? MIRROR MIRROR Make my wish come true. Who are you in the mirror? Double, double, toil and trouble. MIRROR Fire burn and cauldron bubble. MIRROR Living in the mirror, what are you looking at? Because there is no such thing as a real self, beyond illusions, beyond even yourself, into a new world, here and now MIRROR MIRROR Listen to my wish. Who's the worst of them all? MIRROR MIRROR Make my wish come true. Who are you in the mirror? Double, double, toil and trouble. MIRROR Fire burn and cauldron bubble. MIRROR Living in the mirror, I whisper to myself The real me doesn't exist, so beyond illusions, even myself.

[@ernestrimbeck7630]

Nice reaction and the analysis was very good

[@BlackArr0w]

[@chrisharris1522]

You are meant to say mirror mirror grant my wish, I'd like an official MV and hey presto the MV is coming on the 7th!

[@mikepowers9486]

I found out that I don't like prog metal. With that said, BABYMETAL can still make it sound good enough for me to listen to them do it. Not my favorite song at all but I still won't skip it and I know they will make it even better LIVE. Much like Tales of Destinies. 🤘🦊🤘 Just wait until you get to Maya, METALIZM, Believing, Time Wave....

[@safrisaleh412]

"Tales of the Destinies" vibes. Great guitar work, more progressive. Kitsune Up 🦊🦊🦊🤘🤘🤘🇯🇵🇸🇬#notacult.
