DOKI DOKI Morning by BabyMetal REACTION | Yan's Reaction

[@Grington300]

Great reaction. Everybody at the concert was probably even more confused than you when the mirror mini-BABYMETAL suddenly appeared - they also wondered if it was a screen, a trick with smoke and mirrors or had BABYMETAL discovered how to teleport across the arena onto another stage? I think you spotted it was three completely different girls far quicker than anybody else who has watched this. Their appearance all tied in with the lore of BABYMETAL finding parallel worlds and alternative realities with "other" BABYMETALs ... it turns out this is one of those "other" BABYMETALs and they are now a new group called METALVERSE producing their own new music and performing their own concerts and at festivals. The three girls are Miko Todaka, Sakia Kimura, and Kokona Kato. Miko and Sakia are former members of Sakura Gakuin, like Su, Moa, Momoko, and Yui. Kokona is from (I think) another Amuse group called Ciao Girls. Doki Doki is like a fast or excited heartbeat. The song (its full title is 'Doki Doki Morning') is about a girl waking up late and rushing to get ready for an exciting day at school with all her friends. This was the first song they ever recorded - that was in October 2010 when Su was 12, Yui and Moa were both 11. The official video is worth seeing if you didn't already see it (I don't think it is on your channel anyway) - that was recorded on a shoestring budget nearly a year later in 2011 - you will see just how tiny they were when they started.

@Grington300 I checked out the first time they sang it. They were so little!! It's cool they have another group who also performs but they're also 'connected' to BabyMetal.

Thanks again from Japan 有難う。I witnessed this very performance at the venue last year and dropped my jaw. I could not understand what was going on when another set of seemingly pseudo-BABYMETAL appeared in duel position against authentic BABYMETAL . I did not know who they were but came to know that they were amazing performers immediately after they started to sing and dance. What a surprising story Team BABYMETAL had produced to entertain the audience !! (After the show, knowledgeable fans promptly figured out who the mysterious girls were 😄 ) This song is about a school girl who overslept in the morning and got up quickly and dressed in haste asking repeatedly "what time is it now?. You are right. "Doki Doki" signifies sound of fast heartbeat. The girl got excited looking forward to what was going to happen today at her school and in her future as well. Su, Moa and Momoko are matured and no longer school girls, but they revived this song in 2021 shows at Budokan mimicking their own childhood voices and lovable moves. I loved it. But this 2023 version with 6 girls made my heartbeat 300 bpm Doki Doki And the another set of girls called Metalverse is now having their own concerts since this first appearance.

@@flugelhornoldman1362 Seeing it in person must be confusing and it made everyone doki doki right? 😁 But also very fun and creative!

[@road-runner]

Nice reaction, thanks! And good job noticing the second set of ladies (some don't notice it or think it's a compilation or something). They are METALVERSE and Grington300 already explained perfectly who they are. I totally agree on your subtitles take. Actually, I prefer to watch the videos without them (and read a good translation later)... there is too much going on! 😁 🤘🦊

[@lilyanyan]

@@road-runner Thanks for understanding! I'd rather go back and check the lyrics out the second time but for those who can do both, I'll try to remember to have it on 😆

[@bradkornatowski3866]

Yes, Blue is Cute, and Red is Heavy. Those are the Metalverse girls, this was a special show introducing them.

[@DaniloSouzaReacts]

Nice reaction! You caught the performance featuring the debuting group METALVERSE. Cuteness overload.

[@lilyanyan]

@@DaniloSouzaReacts It's nice that they could team up with BabyMetal!

[@yunametal344]

Nice reaction! This song "Doki Doki Morning" is the beginning of Kawaii Metal! SU and MIKO's singing voice and choreography are so adorable!🦊🥰☀️

[@lilyanyan]

@@yunametal344 They were extra kawaii!

[@Sherman1fan]

Introduction to Metalverse, Babymetal from another universe. (Explanation of other universe some time before the song). Now Metalverse has 5 girls, they do their own songs, have their own style. Please check out the first version from 13 years a ago.

[@lilyanyan]

@@Sherman1fan oh wow, 13 years ago?!

[@Ganimal83]

Great reaction! This song goes from Saturday Morning Cartoons straight to demon portal summoning of Babymetal in a split second 😂. Also, I love when the “alternate universe Babymetal” crashes the party and throws every reactor for a loop 🤣. 🤘🦊

[@lilyanyan]

Hahah cartoons to portal summoning :p

[@stevechevy3382]

Nice reaction. I use this song for my alarm clock.

[@lilyanyan]

@@stevechevy3382 Haha nice!!!

[@alvinguida1]

ha ha me too

[@ALAN_COX]

Babymetal gets the best audience participation. I like how the crowd yells "Ima Nanji" (What time is it now)

[@lilyanyan]

@@ALAN_COX I always appreciate the interactions with fans during their performances!

[@gmac6503]

Very observant and nice reaction. I see you have been informed about your questions. BM fans are the greatest at filling others in about BM. I like your demeanor and insights. I also am seeing them tomorrow in concert. I found them about three years ago and have many/most of their DVDs and Sakura Gakuin and I am a big fan of theirs. Also Subscribed to your channel and looking forward to watching more.

[@lilyanyan]

Thank you for your support! Have a great time at their concert!!

[@old_5-O]

This had Babymetal and Metalverse performing Doki Doki Morning together. Unique video to react to. This being the very first Babymetal song, it is always a favorite.

[@lilyanyan]

This was the first song you heard? Aww nice! This live version was a def. surprise!

Miko looks so much like Su here. You should watch Miko singing Sakura Gakuin☆2019 〜Happy Xmas〜 song. What a voice!

[@lilyanyan]

Thanks for letting me know!

[@rah2287]

Grington explained it well.

[@Filboid2000]

Allow me to apologize for pointing out that your thumbnail indicates that this song ("Doki Doki Morning", not "DOKI DOKI") is a music video, however this is NOT a music video. The official music video ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZrVmYRunrGXmNksi=k84SUx4P01t9M5ic ) was released on KZbin nearly twelve years ago on November 8, 2012. This is BABYMETAL doing a cover of BABYMETAL. You may want to consider correcting your thumbnail as it gives people the wrong impression. Personally, I was very disappointed.

[@lilyanyan]

@@Filboid2000 Thanks for letting me know! I will fix it as soon as possible!

[@Filboid2000]

@@lilyanyan Only trying to help. However, at this writing, I see you fixed the title but you're still calling it an "MV"; this is a live video, not a music video. And, believe me, there is a BIG difference between this live video and the official music video.

[@Filboid2000]

@@lilyanyan Well done and thank you! Perhaps you'll react to the official MV soon! I would very much like to see that now that you've seen how they are. I try to urge people to start from BABYMETAL's beginning and see how they have progressed to now - see where they’ve been before getting caught up in where they are - and react to their first two music videos, "Doki Doki Morning" ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZrVmYRunrGXmNksi=k84SUx4P01t9M5ic ) and "Iine!" (pronounced "E-nay") ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4fHc3WFpbiihJYsi=rNZ3yF8RGVdzBZmS ), both released in 2012. I'm sure you will find both very entertaining. It is my opinion that, until you’ve seen their earlier work, you haven't really experienced BABYMETAL. There is a playlist on KZbin, "BABYMETAL Top Twenty" ( kzbin.info/aero/PLdhz2aj0pt4zPl0BZLevPUR9uHKQA27uj ), that includes these two music videos, and it includes both music videos and live performances more or less in historical order. 🤘🦊🤘

[@jonadabtheunsightly]

Hmm. I don't think I like the changes they've made to the song. This version is significantly more repetitive than the original. (The long introduction is an example of that. It wasn't drawn out like that, originally.) One of the things I have always liked about Babymetal is that their music is significantly less monotonous than a lot of metal, and I feel that the changes they've made to this (their first song) in this version, undermine that. If they wanted to make the song longer, they should have written a new part to insert, rather than just taking existing parts and repeating them a bunch of times. The stuff they've done with the stage lighting and whatnot is ok though.

[@lilyanyan]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I will have to check out their previous performances to see how they differ.

[@Dennis-DK2]

Metalverse is the worst thing to happen to Babymetal ever.
