BABYMETAL - IJIME, DAME, ZETTAI LIVE | MUSICIANS REACT

[@JohnPMatias16]

There is nothing dubbed in this live version other than the piano part, which is a backing track. Guitars, drums, bass and the girls voice is all recorded from the live sound. This is how the sound was in the concert. I was there, and it felt even more epic than this.

[@maximushaughton2404]

I was there too, and can confirm it just as it sounded on the day.

@@dicodec Just in case you are not entirely convinced: If you want to distinct if this is a live version or not, simply make a direct comparison to the studio recording. It's also on the official channel (official MV) in case you don't have the CD or Spotify or such.

[@kitsune_sama]

This was 100% live audio, it just sounded that good. This was the last song of their five song set, so they wouldn't have been able to do any more since they were only allotted a 30 minute window to play that day. At the time of this show they were mostly unknown outside of Japan, and this was their first festival outside of Asia. They were originall slated to play some small side stage (tent), but there was a lot of buzz around them so they were moved to a bigger stage, in front of 65,000 British metalheads who were somewhat skeptical of this Japanese "gimmick" band being at their beloved metal festival. Needless to say, after just five songs, they were begging for more. Another fun little fact about that day, Babymetal sold more merch than any other band there, which included Metallica and Iron Maiden. It was truly their introduction to the western world, although they had a couple small shows in Europe before this festival, this really showed the world at large that Babymetal wasn't some gimmick, but an actual force in the metal world.

[@shillaij]

This is live. You can actually hear Su’s voice waiver a bit here and there and even a few places hear her managing her breath for both vocals and dancing. She has an amazingly strong and accurate singing voice....she is a true vocal athlete too. I really like her live singing, it is so good.

[@mantymusic9109]

This is live, vocals and instruments are all live. There are only backing tracks for things like piano, synths etc. If you are wondering what the kami band lineup for this performance is they are: Guitar - Mikio Fujioka (RIP) Guitar - Leda Cygnus Bass - BOH Drums - Hideki Aoyama

[@flugelhornoldman1362]

Nice reaction again & thanks from Japan 有難う💛。The 3 girls once said "We feel we have been protected all the time by Kami band" and Kamis said "The girls took us to stages in the world, outside of Japan. We have nothing but gratitude towards them". This is the ideal relations between talented front performers and super supporting musicians, isn't it ?

[@marsan-1]

First of all, the reason I went to this festival was on the recommendation of Metallica, who saw Baby Metal on stage at Summersonic 2013. The original plan was not to be the main event, but a tent stage with a few thousand people. However, when it was announced that Baby Metal was going to perform, the official festival FB went up in flames. The comment section was flooded with unspoken slander and bashing, with some even calling for people to throw plastic bottles of urine into the air. Seeing the magnitude of the response, the festival suddenly changed the venue to the main stage. For a band with little or no experience overseas at the time, they were faced with an unbelievable ordeal: being thrown out in front of 60,000 metallers on their debut. The producer looks back on that time, "It was a bit of a gamble", and there's also an episode that the local promoters encouraged them to perform at the festival, saying "We'll make it, we'll make it, we can bet on it". And on the day of the concert, when it was time for Babymetal, the main stage was filled with a huge crowd (about 60,000 people) as the promoter had expected, but most of them were said to be curious or anti-haters. The producer later said that it was the first time in his life that he had been shocked. Finally, the live performance starts. At first the audience didn't know what to expect, but as the show went on, they got more excited, and after "Megitsune", the audience started to chorus for encore. The last song was "Ijime, No, Zettai", BABYMETAL's major label debut single and an anthem for Babymetal at that time. Babymetal gave their best performance in this first run, and the live was closed with great applause. In a later report, they went so far as to say "the biggest achievement of this year is that we invited Babymetal". I think the three of them, who were 15 or 16 years old at the time, were scared, and I think they were prepared for it. They really did a good job. This concert, which sparked the overseas expansion of the band, was called "Sonisphere's Miracle" by fans, and it was a major turning point for Babimeta.

[@yamamata5264]

Believe it or not, this is 100% LIVE, my friends! Plus, their musicians are world top level. That's why they are so special and are the only band that i prefer live than studio recording! Glad you did BABYMETAL again! Great reaction! 🤘🦊🤘

[@M4DM4X]

This is BABYMETAL, every song is a new discovery! During this pandemic, the world is finally getting to know this band that works hard to make quality music and never let themselves be overwhelmed by prejudices, I hope you continue to bring them here!

[@emb5091]

This was a legendary moment in BABYMETAL history! Imagine being like 14-16 years old and getting bumped up from a small side tent (expecting just 1-2 thousand to show up) to the main stage in front of 65,000+ metalheads BUT 95+% of them never heard of you, some came to hate on you (based on their videos up to this point like "Gimme Chocolate" which had gone viral a few months before and thought they were a joke or gimmick), and these people are known to throw bottles at the acts if they don't like them! But by the end of their 30-ish minute set, the crowd is chanting "We want more! We want more!" as you can hear at the end of this video, since this is the closing song. They had the largest pits and wall of death's, as well as sold the most merch out of all the acts performing at that event (Metallica, Iron Maiden, etc). This show was the start of them blowing up outside of Japan and is considered a major moment in BABYMETAL history. This is why this show is my favorite of all their shows! Don't wait so long to do another BABYMETAL reaction! 🦊🤘

[@Notthemikeurlookin4]

This is the concert where they went in expecting to get beer bottles tossed at them and left with a crowd of 60,000 metalheads chanting "One more song!"

Fly!] Let your pain and sadness all go outside! It's OK because I'll protect you. I didn't show my tears, and in the night I was about to cry, in a room deep inside my heart, I stayed alone. Those who hurt me were not only someone else, but also those who pretended not to notice. It was my friend. Nothing [Nothing!] could I say. [Say nothing!?] I was about to give up [No easy throwing out!] until yesterday. [Yesterday is gone!] But good-bye to yesterdays' myself. [Bye-bye!] Bullying. [No!] Bullying. [No!] It's disgraceful. [No! No! No! No!] Sometimes you get hurt, sometimes you hurt someone, and we all get badly hurt. Fox, [Fly!] Fox, [Fly!] I'm sure you can fly. [Fly! Fly! Fly!

Bullying, No, Absolutely. Full of dearest-ness, it's pressuring but also encouraging. Anymore... anymore your... I don't want to see anymore your tearful face. Bullying. [No!] Bullying.

[@timgove5337]

When I discovered BabyMetal (3.5yrs ago?), it took 90 mins of rabbit holing to convince myself they were legit, this one sealed it. The One is studio audio MV. This one I think is actually live. It’s tough to tell; it’s masterfully mastered. Maybe they had all original channels recorded to remix? It might even be touched up, auto tuned sparingly? But there are definite non-auto tuned sections (I’ve “studied it” monthly), and the solos match the fancams, etc After the track sold me, I learned the epic backstory. In short, they weren’t wanted, were opening the show at noon. But the sound check attracted 50-60000 hungover people from their tents, they were terrified, and started with tech troubles, only got 5 song slot. This 5th song is anti bullying; there was Su’s prerecorded English PSA that bullying wasn’t cool (how metal to be so straightedge?!). But it obv worked, look at her joy on the last “we are BabyMetal”! They’re calling we want more too, like 8hrs before maiden or Metallica, whoever... 16,15&15yrs old, conquered the metal homeland with one stroke, first British show. 18 months before this, she was still in the idol group, BabyMetal subgroup had about 4singles, this had been a hit. She went to radio station to promote next single (Megitsune. At 15, unaccompanied). They told her that other idols called her the nobullying girl; she owned it, without saying “yeah, but they know who I am” This was the most stable lineup. Short guy “little Kami(god)” Mikio Fujioka, stage right screen left, died Jan 2018. Seriously one of the best in the world. The other guy’s teacher. Did Alan Holdsworth tributes, Adrian Belew covers, and metal up your ass. Best Jeff beck tones(&whammy usage) as he covered vocal lines of Beatles, on n on, whatever I’m gonna put a sub comment with some links. I’m thinking the Megitsune interview, their first ever interview, Kami band instrumental, & beyond?... Cheers - a fan

Live sound, not an overdub. Though Amuse is known for some post-production tweaking.

This was Live. This is where the legend of Babymetal actually started in the West, when they were recognized as a legit band. They always use some backing track elements (piano, and the voices when they join their hands), but other than that it was 100% Su + Kami awesomeness.

[@miseryillussion6259]

The only song that they wrote themself was song4,that song was wrote by yui and moa and they get the full credit for that song,they make that song inside the bus while traveling in singapore for the concert(sry for my bad english)

Also there are multiple people writing the music for Babymetal. Koba has the idea and he finds people to write the music with.. something like this but you can usually look up who wrote which song.

[@hardybryan]

I'm sure others have explained how important this show was to the group. I just love the stories about how scared they were until Su saw the crowd and just said 'this is going to be fun.' They are so awesome.

[@AldoGuerraALDO-METAL]

The guitarist playing next to Boh, the one the camera focuses most on, is Mikio Fujioka, the guitarist who passed away.

[@Bones12x2]

The guitarist on the left (from the crowd perspective) was the one that passed away, his name was Mikio. He was an incredible player and kind of the unofficial captain of the kamis so to speak from what I can tell (thats nothing official in any way). The other guitarist in this video is Leda. There is a third guitarist named Takayoshi Ohmura who you have seen in other videos as well. There have actually been several other guitarists that have appeared at times but the trio of Miko, Leda, and Ohmura are/were the core guitarists that played pretty much every major arena show during Babymetals key years as they become internationally popular. So the 4 guys in this video plus Ohmura despite not being the only kamis are as close to the official band as it gets without it actually being the case.

Nice reaction！From JAPAN🦊

[@dicodec]

Thank you!!

[@meimemeime]

Nice Reaction!! I may not be able to explain it well in English, but I'll try to write about Sonisphere. The BM was originally scheduled to perform at the sub-stage(few Thousands of audience), but due to many requests, it was moved to the main stage in a hurry. Audience of main stage estimates range from 55,000 to 60,000. Most of the crowd had only heard BM's name to some extent and the actual fans were only a few hundred in front of the stage. I think it was a battle itself for the teenage girls, as this is a big, full-blown metal festival overseas, and if they don't like it, a lot of plastic bottles are thrown to stage. Here's what SUMETAL has to say about this Sonisphere festival. ------ Maybe it was because I was trying to look at the audience at an angle, but there were no people in the audience at all, and I was talking like, "What am I going to do?". But that was just because I couldn't see the audience from the angle, and when I went out on stage, the audience was there. "There are people here!" And then it got interesting. The audience in front of me had their jaws dropped to the floor in plain sight. They're like, "What? What? What???" they looked like. I saw that and said, "Okay, let's do it!" I thought. I think this festival has given us the confidence to tour abroad. We believe that our music is one-of-a-kind, and because it's one-of-a-kind, it can bring the world together. ------ With each song, the crowd's cheering circle grew wider and wider. If you look at the crowd's reaction after the song was over, you can feel their Kawaii METAL that makes you smile and feel happy and brings the world together! I'm sure you all will comment on the content of the song, so I'll just say a few things. This song is a message song for those who is bullying someone and People being bullied. This is the dialogue section in the middle. いたみ(itami) = pain 感じて(kanjite) = aching ずっと(zutto) = all whe whileg ひとり(hitori) = alone 心(kokoro) = heart 気づかない(kizukanai) = pretending not to notice もう(mou) = anymore 逃げない(nigenai) = I'll never get away いじめ(ijime) = bullying だめ(dame) = no 絶対(zettai) = absolutely I hope you continue to enjoy your BABYMETAL. Put your Kitsune🦊 up! from Japan. (Translation by DeepL)

I can understand the doubt if this was live or studio, it was so perfect. I had the same doubt since this was my first BABYMETAL song I've ever heard. I did a lot of digging since then, and after finding out this was 100% live, I was already in the fox hole. Later I found that they were very nervous before this show, fearing no one would show up. I figured you as musicians, as I was too, know exactly that feeling. Now imagine that they were only 17, 15 years old

[@MyKingJesus1]

When the vocals are so good, even though it's live, it still sounds like studio quality. That's Babymetal for ya. This was definitely live.

Ijime Dame Zettai (phonetically E-jame Damay Zet-tie-e) loosely translated, "No Bullying Forever" This concert is LEGENDARY among Babymetal fans. They were scheduled to play a smaller side stage for a 5-6K audience but got moved to the main stage in front of 40+K. Keep in mind audiences at this venue threw bottle of piss at Guns And Roses because the audience thought they were rubbish. This was Babymetal's first BIG show outside of Japan. The girls were (and I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong) 14 and 15 if I remember correctly. The Kami band came out first and did a warm up and got the crowd interested. The girls were understandably nervous and there were some issues with the ear pieces and a skirt got torn, but by the end of their set, which this song was the last, you can hear the crowd chanting "We want more, We want more". The venders could not keep Babymetal swag in stock for the rest of the festival.

⚡ 💀 💕 / 🚫 Guitarists that day were Mikio Fujioka (RIP) and Leda Cygnus. BOH on bass and Hideki Aoyama on drums. That was a festival set, so no encore. Encores are pretty unusual for BABYMETAL, even with headlining shows. Su's vocals are that clean, even live. Any change from the live performance to the recording is a big deal, and gets attention in the various BABYMETAL forums.

The best Metal song ever about stopping bullying forever. All live.

[@stephendaniels4763]

Always live, Su's voice kicks ass. No over dubs, sometimes there are additional tracks added such as piano. Mikio Fujoka died, he fell off a platform star gazing.

[@lovefrompraha]

Like others said, definitely not dubbed. Clear difference from other performances. But I can see why you might think so, they're known to be extremely consistent across live shows, studio, different venues, etc. They apparently do like cardio singing workouts to be able to train them to hit certain shit, do stuff in specific ways, perform while dancing, etc. Also this song is about stopping bullying forever. Their albums are normally full of positive messages. Lastly, they never do encores. The crowd did ask after they walked off, it's just part of their lore. Also Mikio Fujioka died. He was the one smiling a lot on the viewer's left side of the stage. Guy was such a god

[@rickwagner-]

Encores are unusual, but they do happen. I was at the Palladium Hollywood when they came back on stage for 'From Dusk Till Dawn' and 'Road of Resistance', and at the LA Forum where they did 'Shine' and 'Arkadia' as encores. They are rare enough that a lot of people missed those last two songs at the LA Forum, since they weren't expecting them to come back on stage.

i like your theory about them writing this one, if you didn't know, this song is about bullying, and recently there has been a rumor about Yuimetal dealing with bullying before joining Sakura Gakuin (idol group where BABYMETAL was formed), so maybe this song is inspired in her past situation

[@ihwan1911]

Ijime,Dame,Zettai . Yeah, this song is my favorite song from BABYMETAL . The message is so good . Ask for no more bullying . Ijime,Dame,Ijime,Dame (Bullying, Don't, Bullying, Don't) . And the part of guitar solo is so catchy, when Yui and Moa start fight 😅 . Maybe, you can hear another live from this song . Live at Legend 1997 is great too, with dark vide and sound more good .

The fact that it's live and you think it's a recording is a huge compliment to everyone involved i think

[@supercat4568]

Thank you as always. Cool Japan TV「Tokyo Bon 2020」　please. It has been a Japanese dance taste for about 300 years. Japanese English pronunciation is fun.

[@road-runner]

Great reaction, as usual, thanks! You doubting whether it's live or not makes it even better. There is a way to check if it's live or not: if it sounds... good --> studio version / crazy good --> live! :) Probably their most important and transcendental performance ever, by the way.

[@armitage9]

Hi. Sorry for my English. BabyMetal is a whole. They are the girls who are wonderful, they are the KamiBand, who are incredible, it is the lighting engineer (who amazed KobeMetal during a concert that he went to see and brought it to the band), the choreographer who does not make the same for any song and they are all memorable, etc. As we say they are "the one" and it works as the Fox God wishes.

[@foxgod4466]

You did it again guys! Great great reaction. One of my favorite Babymetal songs! Please react to an underrated song, Tamashi no Rufuran live, an amazing solo from Su. 🤟🏻 🦊

[@kebobs3727]

As musicians I would bet you would massively appreciate the technicality of their prog/metal "Tales of the Destinies". Only problem is it was only ever performed live one time (I was shocked they were able to do it live because of how technical it is) and that concert almost always gets blocked on YT. would love to see you react to/upload it elsewhere as well though!

[@grumpus5248]

I love that they're going wild on the stage and the pit was ready to reciprocate that energy.

[@dicodec]

Love it when crowd and band feed off of eachother!

[@ticklishstreamer554]

Great reaction as always guys! Their live shows are always killing it! And it’s fun to see reactions to their live shows. You might wanna react to Su-metal live solo performance bokudan. Baby metal - akatsuki

[@MacTaipan]

Another reactor recently said "How can a simple 'rururu' sound so great", and I absolutely agree. I'm a guitarist, too, and I don't understand at all how it's possible that these musicians have not made it to international fame. Ohmura is on John Petrucci level, in my book.

[@bagusnpradeksa3728]

They played so clean till you guys thought it was a recording lmao

[@gilang4992]

The One has relation with Tales Of Destiny, the hardest and craziest song by babymetal

[@drunkenvibrato3612]

They do use backing track like piano, synths and stuff like that. They do use dubbed vocals, to make sound more bigger or in different pitch. But not on this show

[@davidsy28]

I love this song and especially this presentation was the one that made me fall in love with this band. At this point I think it's time for you to react to the best progressive metal you will ever hear, of course by Babymetal, the song is called "Tales of the Destinies", I hope you can react to that. I love your reactions guys, greetings from Colombia

[@defaultforger13]

The song that get me hooked to Babymetal. 🤘 This song is reminiscent of X Japan's song "X". Hands down their best song. Also, try to react to their song, Benitsuki. React to the LIVE version, not the studio. 😁 Kudos to you guys as always! 🤘🤘🤘

[@Kaizelot]

The fact that someone thinks you are dubing but you are not ia lowkey an awesome compliment lol This is one of their older songs so they have it mastered at that point thats why it sounded so good.

[@hardencrater5142]

For the more Babymetal's traditional/structured/raw take on metal: - MEGITSUNE - HEADBANGER - SIS ANGER For the more eksperimental take on metal: - CATCH ME IF YOU CAN - SHANTI SHANTI - DOKI DOKI MORNING Just a few that came at the top of my head. Yeah, they tend to push boundaries, break genres, and refuse to be confined in a box, therefore the eksperimental ones are aplenty, which makes them... different from different ahahaha

[@TheSniatch]

If the title on the video of the official channel says LIVE then it is the live audio and not the studio version :) but the audio is probably fine tuned

[@dicodec]

Ah okay i gotcha! Makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up for us fam. 🤘🦊

[@boranblok]

Little clarification Kobametal is the producer. I don't know if he has written some songs, but his major accomplishment is getting all these super talented people together and working together on this great project. He was always toying with the idea of a jpop-metal fusion band, and when he saw Suzuka perform at an early age he found the perfect voice for it.

[@dicodec]

Ah I see. Thank you for clearing that up for us!

[@livvymetaldance793]

2014 sonisphere had alot of issues while preforming it was like nippon budokan but no one got hurt. yui pulled her skirt and then at the beginning moa was having some technical issues with her ear piece.

[@waynemacaulay9327]

Nobody forgets about the Kami band they are way too incredible!

[@ichwanfaithalmiskad7100]

Try react Akatsuki, No Rain No Rainbow, and Amore. I think it's a Ballads version of a Babymetal.

[@skyootos7672]

You guys should react to some more recent live footage from them. Su-metal's always been a good singer but nowadays she's on another level. Try Arkadia, maybe?

[@sebaa_cl]

Ngl, I was a little disappointed by the fact that you thought this wasn't really live. But if you think about it, it's kinda good in a way, because that just proves how good they are! Just, don't doubt about what the band is capable of next time. Anyways, great reaction as usual! 🦊🖤

[@tackle47]

There is some cleaning up like every live video now days but this is live with the exception of keyboards. This is the performance that showcased Babymetal to the West. Their 1st big show in front of a crowd known for harsh treatment of posers. You saw the results, also the song and performance that made me a fan and still my favorite from them.

[@Chadw1cKed]

Ohhh.. BTW, This is LIVE af! It's actually cool that on first listen you guys think it sounds so good that, it's studio audio.. lol Nahh bro.. They dat good I guess. Go to their official channel and check out the studio album playlist for this song. If you do, you'll hear exactly what I'm saying. lol Anyway. GG, my dudes! Keep the BABYMETAL reactions coming! Loving the content!

[@mtg.delirium6632]

Saw them in Chicago about a year ago with Avatar, such an awesome show. This is my favorite song by them

[@youtubeweb3009]

I thought you had given up on babymetal... but i'm so glad when i saw this video of yours!. Thank you misters! and btw you two misters are becoming more handsome each day! and also verry funny to watch to haha

[@dicodec]

We would never give up reacting to BABYMETAL!! Also thank you for your kind words 🥰🥰

[@romaryfr8173]

Legendary live 👍

[@jarviscrank3495]

I subscribe to your channel guys. Nice reaction. I’m heading to Japan 🇯🇵 as soon this COVID-19 goes away. You guys should check out Yurisa: rusty nail. Another Japanese female rocking out.

[@kornival117]

this was reacted 2 years ago, but if you guys are still reading this, you should check out the events leading up to this performance and how it ended.

[@dicodec]

I just saw them live yesterday

[@kornival117]

@@dicodec so lucky!!! i have to wait til end of the year for them to come to my state. I know you guys enjoyed the show. i know you guys did the headbanger reactions, can you do the headbanger reactions moa version. its so much better . you wont regret it

[@radioraffa]

Yes as everyone says. It's live (I'm sure some polishing up in post production) but you can tell when Mikio (RIP) almost forgot to hit his pedal to stop the sound for the break (05:07 of your video). You probably wouldn't of noticed, since you were jumping around like a bunch of knuckleheads lol.

[@Gary-Ellis]

My favorite Babymetal song is ALWAYS the last song I listened to.

[@Mattalot97]

Can you check out some of their lessor played songs like BxMxC or Distortion. Or No Rain No Rainbow, that's a beautiful song if you like something a bit slower and more vocal from them.
