“awadama fever” and gimme chocolate were written by same composer. These are so good!

@@dicodec - Awadama Fever was written as a response to the Japanese Metal Fans who called Babymetal 'Bubble gum metal'. The song is about a mint flavored bubblegum time machine. It's a great song.

⚡ 💀 💕 / 🗃 🍬 'Awadama Fever' and 'YAVA!' are pretty much peak Yuimetal. Moa may be "Best Metal", and Su is the voice they built the whole project around, but Yui is quintessentially kawaii. Still miss that one. Although they've done 'YAVA!' since, 'Awadama Fever' hasn't been performed since she left the group. The dance moves makes a little more sense when you know that "Awadama Fever" means "Bubble Fever". And although Takayoshi Ohmura remains my favorite Kami Band member, I'm always glad to see the love and respect for Mikio Fujioka.

[@Grington300]

Great reaction. I'm late again and there are loads of comments already, so you've probably already been told this, but sod it I'm going to say it too. After 'Gimme Chocolate' and some of their other songs critics had accused them of making "Bubblegum pop-metal with squeaky high voices." It was an insult - the definition of Bubblegum music (also called bubblegum pop) is "pop music with an upbeat sound that is considered to be disposable, contrived, or marketed for children and adolescents". This song, I believe, was a direct response to that - awadama means bubble or bubblegum, so 'Awadama Fever' is about bubblegum, but it isn't just any old bubblegum - this has special properties and can transport you to wherever you dream of going - it is a "mint flavoured time machine". They took the criticism and everything the critics said they didn't like and turned it all up to 11. It is like they are telling the critics "say what you like, we will do whatever we want and if you want to come with us and see how far the dream can go step aboard the time machine and chew on this bubblegum". It is the most polite 'middle finger' in the history of middle fingers.

[@dicodec]

Cutest middle finger ever haha! So dope they did that. 🤘🦊

[@JejeGNL]

I actually did not know this about Awadama Fever!!This the cutest "in your face/middle finger" ever!!!

[@Grington300]

@@JejeGNL To be fair that is my own interpretation of events .... perhaps more likely (as they don't do middle fingers or take offence and every opinion matters to them) it is their "Criticise us and we'll take it - and then we will make something great of it" attitude.

[@JejeGNL]

@@Grington300 And that's what we love about them!Critics throw something at them then they reply with mind blowing songs and live performances!!!And I also think that's one of the reasons why legends respect them too.

[@dicodec]

[@Greg-om2hb]

Remember, the BABYMETAL concept is Japanese idol pop + death metal. The Awadama Fever vocals are pure idol pop, performed over a crushingly heavy instrumental. That’s way this is an awesome song. “Our dama, awa dama fiiba”!!!

[@dicodec]

Ah I see

[@gluntdaniel]

ooo yeah! bubble bubble bubble bubblegum🔥🦊🤘

[@dicodec]

Bubblegum kawaii death metal! Haha 🤘🦊

[@satoru4797]

Love this! This was probably one of my favorites among your reactions! How Eric started with a "Hmm?" reaction and then moshed hard in that little breakdown-ish (dunno the right term, sorry) part with heavy guitars was really satisfying to see! If Gimme Chocolate is about chocolate, and PA PA YA is about papaya salad, then Awadama Fever is about a bubble gum. But not just an ordinary bubble gum. It's a mint-flavored time machine that takes you to wherever you want as you chew it. It was also hilarious as there are some haters who says babymetal is just bubblegum music and then they created a song about a bubblegum😂. Could it be that its their way of provoking them?😆 I also wholeheartedly agree with Alan's comment about Mikio's solo. He always have that iconic guitar sound as he shreds with his whammy bar. You would know right away that it was him playing. The way he masterfully mix jazz with metal is just AMAZING. It's really sad that someone as talented as him has to leave early. Ohmura, in the other hand, was also a very talented man. There is a video with him having a 'shred battle' with Marty Friedman, Herman Li and I forgot the name of the other man. His own unique picking style was really fast that also makes his style easily recognized. His speed is amazing. BOH is a f*ckin' GOD! His bass shred always fascinates me as well as his SLAPP. I just kinda wish his bass volume was a bit higher so we could hear his bass more (or maybe it's just because of my sh*tty earphones😂). Hideki is a beast! His double kicks are always amazing. He always has those fast af double kicks in his solo which makes his drumming way heavier. I just recently joined your discord server and I loved it. I love to see everyone getting along talking about music. Kitsunes up!

[@dicodec]

Yo thanks so much! Glad you liked the discord. That's so dope thanks for all the insight and for your thoughts. Totally agree with you. 👌💯

[@pyehrra]

One of my favorite songs. Wasn't expecting Alan to like it to much nor expected to finalize Alan's decision in Babymetal becoming one of his favorite bands 🤣. Also freaking Alan became Eric. Eric is usually the one to say "Why are you questioning it for?" "What are you talking about this is so good?" "I told you wait." "Su brought it with those vocals."

[@dicodec]

Had to watch this reaction again months later because it makes me happy. There are many great bands out there. I see you rock out to many other bands and gush on them as well. The thing about BABYMETAL though is not only are they great and extremely talented (Kami band included of course) but they are beyond fun and a pure joy to watch. These girls are making us feel every bit of their happiness as they perform for us. Just look at how much fun you are having reacting to their videos. Now imagine being there with all that crowds energy. Lots of great bands out there but there is nothing like BABYMETAL 🤘🦊🤘

[@azarashi1996]

[@dicodec]

Absolutely! One of tightest bands out there 🤘

[@davidornberg]

Babymetal was accused to make bubblegum-rock and the answer from BM was this song. Takeshi Ueda played in the band The Mad Capsule Markets ( punk-ish band ) wrote this song about Bubblegum though Awadama is a brand over there I have been told. Check out the song Pulse with his band! ;-)

[@brianna21314]

Wow. I just realized that this song has TMCM influences. oh my god.

[@mardymarve2298]

I agree, I think the guys would love the shit out of Mad Capsule Markets. I would second Pulse and add Midisurf and Chaos Step. Such a good band.

[@dicodec]

Oh wow, that's wild! 😮

[@FourBleats]

Top 10 BM track for me. The studio version brings out the drum 'n' bass elements much more. The intro section looked like it was taken from a women only audience show they did. They also did a children and grandparents show, IIRC. I like the idea, as not everyone wants to be in a pit with a bunch of sweaty old men. Even with the best of intent, the average metal crowd can be a bit rough and exclude people who don't want that level of physical contact.

[@Si-nj9qy]

I think it was part of the big fox festival series.They did a female and male only concert too.Dressed as Megitsune and Kami band respectively.

[@itstillbyme]

that was BM Metal Resistance Episode V The Five Fox Festival in Japan -Black Fox Festival (male audience) -Red Fox Festival (female audience) -Gold Fox Festival (teenage audience) -Silver Fox Festival (elementary school & over age 60 audience) -White Fox Festival (audience must wearing corpse paint) The Big Fox Festival in Osaka Jo-Hall are the ending of eps. five

You should check out the band Mad Capsule Markets - both this and Gimme Chocolate were written by Takeshi Ueda from them, and his style is definitely evident in both songs. Also as an aside - Babymetal were the last band I saw live before the world got put on hold, and I was HEARTBROKEN that they didn't play this song.

[@omajination]

Props to Alan for considering this to be one of his favorite BM songs now, as this is quite an underrated one. A little fun fact about how they came up with the lyrics: Awadama Fever means something like "bubble fever". When BABYMETAL went viral after releasing Gimme Chocolate, many metal elitists felt like this group was a kick in the guts and they used to make fun of them by saying stuff like "Metal is supposed to be about deep, aggressive and dark feelings instead of having little girls singing about rainbows and bubblegum". The response? They release a song about time traveling in a bubblegum time-machine 🤣 What a move, I think of it as a "fuck you" to the haters and I'm loving it 🙆🏻‍♀️ I also think this is one of their cutest choreographies to this day, tied up with "Catch Me If You Can" (if you haven't reacted to it, I highly recommend you do)

[@Mogis2011]

The most polite "fuck you" to the haters ever. Love it!

[@fl7888]

2:09 yeah mikio was like holdsworth or henderson... wanted him to open up jazzmetal guitar. 10:06 id eveluate aoyama as the most important kami... his technique and sense of time allow the whole band to be the best live band in tightness and in quality of groove. his solo playing might be alil too advanced and not for many of amateur listeners but for players in the same trade, which helps the band promote great friendship with those greats and legends, cuz it seems like almost always drummer of those great bands has come and seen them first

[@dicodec]

Hard to argue with this. Well said 😘🦊

[@Singulitarian]

Hideki is a precision beast, but they are playing to a click, so band wouldn't be off even if he was, lol.

[@fl7888]

@@Singulitarian most bands in the same production level use a click but still hes better than others including the other kamis, and more importantly (more impressive to me) though, using a click is not helpful at all when it comes to 'groove', but he always produces better one with the vocalist su-metal, the bassist boh and the rest of kamis. he's a man of ensemble with such great ears. to add when su and moa mention the snare drum that helped them in cencert to not go blank, it's always hideki.

[@ANDOR-]

In my opinion, Mikio was the god of technique, Ohmura is the god of shredding. I think the combination of their individual styles and strenghts are one of the biggest reasons why they were so great as a duo. Herman Li said in a stream of his (I think it's even in his BxMxC rection on the Dragonforce YT channel) that he thinks Ohmura is one of the fastest guitar players and best shredders in the world at the moment. It's, again in my opinion, a real shame the Kami Band musicians don't get recognized by BABYMETAL. Which is unfortunately the same for the Avengers. They should at least officially recognize Momoko by now, she's the only Avenger at the moment and performed every show since the pandemic started.

[@chrisharris1522]

Yeah it is complicated, but the best way to think of it is a symbiotic relationship, Babymetal get a fantastic band that helps lend them legitimacy in the genre, the Kamis get a way to earn an income and to play on stages that wouldn't be otherwise available to them so they both get something out of it of value and they both have great respect for each other so it works. The mistake a lot of fans make that I have noticed is that they think Babymetal music is how good the Kamis really are when in actuality this music is way beneath the skills of these guys it is not a challenge to them in the slightest, the challenge comes from the transformation they go through from playing their amazing styles of music in small clubs where they are themselves to becoming the gods of metal and performing in front of huge crowds where they play a role different to themselves. The best answer is they choose to keep coming back, because they love it.

[@ANDOR-]

@@chrisharris1522 Yeah, I know. I definitely understand and I don't want them to be "members of BABYMETAL" or be "the BABYMETAL band". I'm perfectly fine with the status quo when it comes to the Kamis, I'm just not a big fan of the fact they don't even have names/aren't recognized by BABYMETAL. And to be honest even less so when it comes to Momoko. She doesn't need to be a member of BABYMETAL and can stay with her Avenger status... but, for example, not even a message on their Twitter or anything today for her 18th birthday is pretty cheap if you ask me.

[@dicodec]

Really well said! You're so right about them being a great duo! I did actually did see that haha. Such a shame they aren't considered part of BM. They've been with them for years so you'd think they would be considered part of it now. 😭

[@ANDOR-]

@@dicodec It doesn't even need to go that far. I'd be content if they'd be officially recognized by name or get a birthday message from the official Twitter and stuff like that. The same with Avenger Momoko, who turned 18 today... even though she's the only Avenger at the moment and performed every show with them for almost a year now she doesn't get recognized at all either. She's just a nameless Avenger who doesn't even get a happy birthday message on Social Media. I hope she at least gets a lot of presents from everyone involved with BABYMETAL to make up for it 😉

Very surprised that you have not reacted to this clip before. It is the video track I recommend more than any other as the introduction to Babymetal for new reactors, combinining the contribution of Moa and Yui, highlighting the mesh of kawaii and industrial metal more than any other. It is raising the metabolic rate genius. Mikio credited Alan Holdworth as his biggest influence, though I read so much Terje Rypdal influence there as well.

Awadama Fever is one of the most uplifting songs in their catalogue, and the choreography makes it perfect. For some reason I think Yui really stands out in this, it‘s like the choreography had been tailored specifically to her cuteness. The song can be seen as the successor to Gimme Chocolate. This time it‘s about bubblegum that will take you anywhere in your dreams. It‘s said to be BABYMETAL‘s reply to the people condescendingly accusing them of making bubblegum Pop. Personally, I like Ohmura‘s playing better than Mikio‘s. His technique is perfect, and he also has an ear for melody and great phrasing. But Mikio‘s solos certainly stand out with his interesting use of the trem and harmonics.

I really recommend listening to Kari Band to hear what he and Boh are really capable of Djentleman is a great track if you prefer heavier music to the more jazzy funk stuff

[@dicodec]

Yup yup, heck yes we're so down to check them out.

Let's get it 🤘🦊

[@patrickwood4667]

Love this real hard rift

[@dicodec]

Heck yeah! 🤘🤘

[@Winnegan]

1:32 dueling banjo's riff, maybe a nod to Eddie Van Halen, same lick in Eruption, could just be they had same idea, both based on dueling banjos, i dunno ???

[@dicodec]

Indeed can definitely hear it haha

[@road-runner]

Great reaction, thanks! Mikio was actually Takayoshi's sensei. His amazing technique is clearly recognizable, specially on the solos. He will be forever missed. And both of you were right: it's "weird" and it's "awesome" at the same time... and we love BABYMETAL because of that :) Until next time!

[@dicodec]

Thanks for watching! Oh wow, that's so cool. Yup indeed haha. 🤘🦊

[@queenierani3076]

FYI the first part of the video was taken during teh Red Fox Festival which was attended only by Megitsune or Female fans. Another great reaction guys.

[@dicodec]

Very cool! Thanks for the insight!

[@kevincooper6797]

I think Su is 16 in this video. Is there a better front woman to any band out there. This is the holy trinity, I miss them so much. Such confidence at such a young age. Just amazing.

[@dicodec]

Can't deny she is just amazing

[@MrSuperlobo200]

They must see tales of destiny. It is an incredible babymetal song, in my opinion it is the most progressive.

[@dicodec]

We did my guy, it's right here. 🤘🦊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4HNaJZ_erd4otE

[@schelin1447]

BOH is a god!

[@dicodec]

He really is. We don't give him enough love.

[@jannashesgbcnemophilafan4317]

Nemophila just put out Dissension, wow, a banger. Raitei and Fighter great songs. Loved when Midori of Lovebites was at NAMM in California janurary last year, before lockdowns. Well just found out its on YT. Midori with her hair down, in jeans t shirt, banging and shredding their songs for two hours was incredible. You guys might love that.

[@dicodec]

Yup, we will get to it when Alan gets back from New York. Oh really? That's so dope!

[@JannAsheSGBC]

Yeah, it was so cool Midori with her hair down, and head banging. She is so incredible, she’s so down to earth like Kanami and Miku.

[@MyKingJesus1]

Hideki on the drums is a true beast.. Especially on those double bass..

[@dicodec]

Indeed he is!

[@outwest1014]

How many of you do this, 1st watch is hear the song/music, 2nd watch is for the dancing,, 3rd watch is for the KamiBand? I now also go back to just concentrate on each of the girls, this especially let me understand how good of a dancer Yui was.

[@dicodec]

Sounds like a good method

[@杉本明彦-s3w]

極上なポップソング......これがBABY METAL の良さなのだ。The best pop song, This is the goodness of BABY METAL.

[@VIRIDIAN_TINT39]

Our BHO-SAMA has evolved into "OSUKORI-SAMA"

[@vincenzo-maidiac-5457]

I think Mikio deserve a complete video for him... There are so many compilation of him on KZbin

[@dicodec]

That would be dope!

[@galdanag]

BABYMETAL is such a bubble gum band, right? Love this. The Kami Band rocks as always... Isn't it amazing that BM managed to create another Kami Band, with a different sound, that also rocks the shit out of their gigs?

[@dicodec]

Leave it to BABYMETAL for epic stuff like that haha 🤘🦊

[@Ssserrrge]

Is it me or several seconds right after the intro and right before the first verse (girls chanting "yay ! yay ! yay !" and "1 ! 2 ! 1-2-3 !") sound exactly like similar part from the Catch Me If You Can ?

[@dicodec]

Hhhmm we haven't heard that one yet 🤔

[@parcevil]

Y si hace veinte años me hubieran dicho que una banda de metal compondría un himno al chicle y que sería acompañado con coreografía por tres niñitas preciosas.... Sí, les hubiera creído.
