Cute & Funny 2018 Moments 🖤🕯️ | BABYMETAL's Dark Side

- 2018 was a tough year both for the girls and the fandom. Lots of confusion, disappointment, uncertainty and pain. So while at the time it was difficult for so many fans to enjoy this particular era (including myself), looking back now with objective eyes, no one can deny that music-wise, production-wise and performance-wise BABYMETAL was just as great as ever.
With dark times, there comes growth and self discovery. If it wasn't for this challenging period, the BABYMETAL we know and love today wouldn't even exist.
The purpose of this video is to shed some light on the cute, positive and heartwarming moments which took place during the "rain". Because, yes, there were quite a few.

#BABYMETAL #SUMETAL #MOAMETAL #SuzukaNakamoto #MoaKikuchi #SAYAMETAL #SayaHirai

[@MM-gr9ri]

It's sweet how much Moa and Su really looked out for each other during this time! I love seeing the girls look after and interacting with Saya/Kano/Riho and Momoko!!

[@autohmae]

When they are in the 3 original girls formation with Yuimetal they always used that to have looks at each other to see if they were doing OK, because being in Babymetal is hard work and sometimes bad things can happen, etc. The looks helps as encouragement as well. That was actually one of the problems with the first formation in 2018, Su-metal and Moametal were standing in front of each other thus couldn't easily encourage each other while they maybe needed it more than ever.

[@texasvoodoo5696]

The Kamis participating with the choreography during "Gimme Chocolate" is hilarious, I love it! Arigato for all these great clips!

[@funtimemangle44alt88]

SU RANDOMLY SAYING GUTEN TAG MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD BC ITS OUT OF NO WHERE (SHE ALSO SURPRISINGLY SAID IT GOOD????) ((Im a german))

[@bryceunit]

What a tough time. And to go on performing. It's wonderful that it brought Su and Moa closer but at a pretty high cost. I hope their parents and Koba were also there for them. I did not care for the costumes, makeup or hair that marks this sad era. I feel it detracted from their beauty. Long live BabyMetal! May the Momometal era last a long time.

[@eddylindsey986]

I believe, to me, after Yui Mizuno left, Su-metal and Moametal had to go through a phase where they needed to regroup on the go. In my opinion, they found out through all of this that they really can get through this and move forward. But I will have to say, these clips are amazing. We get to see Babymetal and the Kami Band have fun, every time I've seen videos of their performances, unless something serious happens, this group has fun, plain and simple. Thank you for posting this video, you done an amazing job.🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊

[@santoshsharma483]

This was absolutely brilliant. I think Moa is the heart that group needs. She's there to not only dance and sing but also to remind Su that they need to have fun while doing all this.

[@davidgreen449]

Thank you for this, I don’t think Yui will ever come back which is a shame but I feel that Momoko chan has done more than enough to become the third member miked up and all. I don’t ever want to see Moa cry again and I hope that Yui is well and happy in her new life ❤

[@Bigmac_cat]

12:37 su looks mad at moa like “girl what are you doing” 😂😂😂😂We definitely need cute moments when there new concert comes out

[@autohmae]

6:30 Hideki 3rd member confirmed. 🙂

[@steadikek]

That very last sentence Moa said in the interview is so impactful and yet, Kami Band is not shown at all anymore, as if they're not part of Babymetal anymore... 😔

[@autohmae]

12:17 I don't know if it was this time, but at least one of the times Su-metal stood further to the back close to the stairs on purpose as a prank for Moametal kept poking her.

[@autohmae]

8:45 Australia was brutally hot.

[@bdanggoncornshmorn3454]

Im kind of glad of missed this weird era of babymetal

[@nichtwitzig]

Ever noticed they didn't use their normal logo on stage during that whole period? Only the stylized eclipse... Awesome video! Was worth it. Thank you.

[@metalka_]

How not to love BABYMETAL? ❤️❤️❤️ The band's interaction is sensational, I loved seeing the Kami Band's joy, I don't know if with them wearing a mask now they will be able to have the same interaction.

[@Rymdsaft]

Great compilation, thank you. Ah yes, that reminds me. When an audience screams at the top of their lungs, and some (other) artist replies "I can't hear you", I always think to myself "maybe if you try taking out your in-ear monitor..."

[@RezaKronis]

9:38 , Leda improve Gimme Choco solo with BabyMetal Death solo 😂😂

[@kitkat6407]

ありがとうございます。

[@tomosuganuma5808]

Thank you so much for putting this together for us! I teared up a little. . .

[@makihura]

i love the dark era, Saya was an incredible support

[@hyprz5]

So far the only time i have seen BABYMETAL live was at download 2018, they were amazing! I hope i come back to the UK on their own tour soon!

[@Sunflowerseedsforivan]

Enormous work you did there, thank you!

[@huangkejun]

9:37 Leda sneak in the solo of Babymetal Death during Gimme Chocolate

[@robertgrubs]

I can't wait to see ya'll talented young ladies September 2 3023 in Orlando. I'm really stoked to see ya'll perform 🤘🤘🤘.

[@muhammadaminramli6350]

Kami band lmaooo. These guys know how to shreds and have fun. Hideki is so funny😂

[@jonabitstream]

Thank you so much, Imagination! You are very good at this, and we are the beneficiaries of your hard work and devotion. Bless you!

[@annie_metal_1209]

thank for your video! and you back!

[@user-yz6wq3gm5u]

Thank you for creating an amazing video. I became a fan of Babymetal in April last year after watching the live video of ‘Distortion’ from their dark side era. However, I couldn’t find much information about their mindset during the dark side era and couldn’t learn more about it. Thanks to your video, I was able to learn not only about their mindset at that time but also about how they enjoy performing live, the support dancers, and the band members. Thank you so much! It would be great if we could enjoy a live concert together in Japan!

[@clad_in_metal]

Thank you so much as always for this awesome and wholesome compilation!! I was smiling and crying so much the entire video!! must have been really difficult compiling everything, and thank you for your hard work in putting all these together!

[@Uploaderization]

Thank you so much for finding all the clips, it was totally worth it!

[@wooelizajin]

Спасибо! Это было прекрасно! Fanks! Its amazing!

[@user-mw7kw8qg6o]

This video of yours is really great. It gives us the essence of what BABYMETAL is.

[@alexander_z2632]

Thanks for create content of those beautiful womens ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@randoomy1520]

I really miss this era, the hair, the outfits, and the formation. The fans weren't ready for it, and sadly we went back to their usual hairstyles again, but I still love it though. I also miss the non-masked kamis, I really hope they remove them🥲. You can really notice that Su and Moa are both relying on each other when the dark side era happened, and they got closer than ever, even until now. I wonder if Yui didn't leave, what would be black babymetal's song? Because, kagerou, or back then it was called tattoo, was Su's song, but became a Babymetal song after the confirmation of Yui's departure. Was there a song already made for black BM, I wonder. The dark side era videos in yt are gone too, I was too late to download them all🥲. Thanks for this though, I had a lot of laughs🥰. Also, can someone send me a timestamp of Moa crying? I couldn't spot it on the video. Thanks.

[@user-pz1xi1ql1h]

good thank-you😙

[@sandrablanco4470]

Is my favorite darkside. I will come back this❤😊

[@engacora]

This was great!

[@edgarandres6810]

Your videos are always a pleasure to watch

[@TreadheadA1]

Great content! Minus Moa crying though. I just about lost it when that came on. Then you redeemed yourself with the Kami band doing the Gimme Choco choreo. I definitely busted out laughing at that. I have seen Hideki do it many times but never the rest of them. 🤣🤣

[@TheUsedDecoy]

Why was Moa crying tho?

[@omajination]

​@@TheUsedDecoy That was in Kansas City, the very first concert from their 2018 tour. The whole Dark Era was a mess because the management made some very bad decisions. Shit hit the fan in Kansas when it was suddenly revealed that Yui wasn't back and two random backup dancers were her place, and suddenly their kawaii essence was gone. Everyone was too shocked to see such a different BABYMETAL, when the management launched promos with Yui in it and their outfits were the same as they'd always been. The crowd was left speechless and there were expressions of shock, sadness, confusion, disappointment, etc altogether. Moa has always been very sensitive and seeing the fans reactions was painful. They explain it at the beginning of my video.

[@TheUsedDecoy]

Oh wow that's heartbreaking,the combo of the fan reactions, Yui leaving, and right on top Mikio's passing must have been just the worst. I hope neither Su or Moa ever feel so awful from fans that they cry like that again. Tyty for the explanation.

[@ericchild8845]

Awesome! Thanks!

[@giangiang]

5:39 Besides missing YUI, Kami band presence should definitely comeback.

[@Dexter47]

thank you for the video

[@bleedsmetal]

Again Thank you

[@xtianno]

I love your videos ❤

[@bleedsmetal]

That is all Epic editing and clip collection. Especially appreciate 7:37

[@deacon45]

[@luislandino9247]

Wow, thank you for this awesome Kawaii vedio, I really enjoyed watching it. From San Francisco California Babymetal 💕 🤟

[@Kmudaify]

I don't know if folks realize it, but SO much of the video was from one show, Atlanta, which in my opinion, was THE special show on that tour. Su on the platform during Tattoo... Atlanta. The Kami's have fun.... Atlanta. The Kami's dancing to Gimme Chocolate.... Atlanta. Leda messing with Boh's pedals...... Atlanta. The "oops" collision.... Atlanta (actually, Moa intentionally ran into Su but you cannot tell that from this angle). And probably more. That's just what I immediately recognized as Atlanta. They did miss some things that occurred in Atlanta. When entering the stage for Megistune, Moa in front of Su, she had her hand stretched out behind her with Su holding her hand, ending with Su shaking it as if to either say "got to let go now" or "you got this girl", possibly both. During Megistune, with Su doing her talk to the crowd thing in the middle of it, Moa noticed a young girl on the barrier stage left and runs over to give her a special singled out wave.

[@omajination]

Nice observation! I believe the SuMoa moment you're referring to is at 11:36?

[@Kmudaify]

@@omajination Awesome. You did get them walking onto the stage hand in hand. Excellent. Other things I can identify, the "Elevator Girl" moment where Su is about to crack up from Moa's stare was at Houston. At least it started in Houston. It became a regular occurrence on the tour, expanding into them making funny faces at each other, much like they do in the Megitsune interlude. Another moment in Atlanta was Gimme Chocolate. You got the moment the show prior which was the first time (I believe) Moa came down off the upper riser to Su's left to tickle her ear, then moving behind her to the other side, surprising Su because the choreo to that point, Moa had remained on the riser. In Atlanta, Su got even, she backed up to the edge of the platform so when Moa came down to tickle her right ear then tried to go behind her to get to the left, there was not enough room. She ended up doing a tippy toe thing and almost tripping. Moa was laughing as she went back up to the top platform. It's such a shame. There were so many of these moments on that tour and 95% of the fancams from 2018 were wacked in the Great Fancam Holocaust of 2018. I could list a dozen of them we lost off the top of my head.

[@juicdaniel92]

♥️♥️♥️

[@jorge33484]

I love ur videos 😂

[@autohmae]

8:58 this was actually playing a prank on Su-metal, Moametal is normally the one with the microphone 🙂

[@omajination]

There wasn't a mic prank in this shot. Actually Saya seemed to be laughing because the flag slapped Moa's face while she was talking hhaa

[@autohmae]

@@omajination ahh, I see it now you are probably right, I expected Moametal to be on the other side, which is what confused me.

[@musicgarryj]

Great video (even though I would prefer to forget that the whole Dark Side period ever happened!) Has anyone noticed how Su pronounces "Yui" as one syllable "Yuy" rather than how most fans pronounce it as two ("Yoo-ee") This is also how Yui pronounced her own name i(one syllable) n the SG videos. Jeffree Star got a lot of criticism when introducing the APMAs/Rob Halford collab by saying "Yee-metal" but he was actually pretty close to being correct.

[@hytechtech]

Where can i find this version of Distortion @ 1:09?
