First Time Hearing BABYMETAL "Doki Doki ☆ Morning" Reaction

[@dingjk5630]

The MV starts out much like a children's TV show. They were kids at the time. The future of kids is unpredictable. No one expected them to perform at Tokyo Dome and tour Europe, America and Australia in the future. No one thought there would be so many people in the world who love them so much. ♥️🦊

[@jeeewhyyypheee]

The opposite song of "Doki Doki ☆ Morning" is "Uki Uki ☆ Midnight". Yes that actually exist. The first three song from BM is "iine", "Doki Doki Morning", "Uki Uki Midnight". That three songs is included in Sakura Gakuin album under BabyMetal as sub unit on 2010. So 2013 onward BM became independent and their songs doesn't inlcuded in Sakura Gakuin album anymore. If you guys try to search early Sakura Gakuin album, you actually can see some of BM early songs listed inside the album. That's why SG is such a big role on the very first step BabyMetal paths.

I read their budget was really low when making this video. Their clothes were borrowed, the band had black clothes with white tape and the girls had to teach them the dance moves. They did a great job with the tools at their disposal! Love it.

It’s amazing that they could still pull off an awesome track as literally kids! How??

[@Wombatmetal]

The fisrt 30 seconds of the song is making a statement. What a way to make an entrance on a career.

[@riffgroove]

To the uninitiated....when a Japanese person is nervous or excited, instead of just saying so, they will quite often flutter a hand over their chest and say "doki doki doki" which imitates the sound of an accelerated heart-beat. The title of the song loosely translates as "excited heart-beat morning."

When he said "it sounds like the most Baby metal song of them all", i came down to think that doki doki is actually the very first song they ever made, combine it with the fact they were also the very first people to try out this music genre, and maybe that is the reason why

[@jeeewhyyypheee]

Very true, Doki Doki Morning and iine is BM very first songs. Because that two songs included in Sakura Gakuin album for each sub unit they had.

The guys in the skeleton outfits in the video are baby Bones in the early days of Babymetal they couldn't always afford a live band so in early shows they had baby Bones on stage pretending to play instruments and then the actual band would come out the last part of the show about the last five songs and play live

[@MSIContent]

What I love about the early BABYMETAL tracks, is how totally invested and committed these kids were to the whole metal thing! They were metal at 12. Now, they are the queens of metal. I’ve always been a huge Moa fan. Then, it was just wow she’s so cute and committed. Now… it’s more on the “wow she’s so cute!” Side lol ❤

[@bonhzeppelin55]

During that period of time maybe i'd say it is quintessential Babymetal, then again add: iine, ijime dame zettai, headbanger, megitsune, & cover songs: Over The Future, Tamashii No Rufuran, Tsubasa Wo Kudasai. Those are a pretty diverse, atypical collection of songs.🤔

[@nomis]

Sakura Gakuin had over 10 members, but only these 3 were in the HeavyMetal group. The Babymetal segment became so popular, in 2013 they made it a separate entity apart from the idol group. They became a real band and hired real musicians.

[@arifreds6304]

The adorable metal legend was born ..on this song. ..Wish they still young always ..🤘 but i miss Yui 😢🤗

[@rickwagner-]

⚡ 💀 💕 / 💓 ⏰ "Doki Doki" represents the sound of an excited heartbeat. This was their first single, music video, etc. Like many classic Heavy Metal songs, the lyrics of 'Doki Doki ☆ Morning' talk about which cute hairstyle and lip gloss they should decide on for school. : ) At this point BABYMETAL were still the "Heavy Music Club" subunit of Sakura Gakuin, a school themed Idol group. BABYMETAL's budget was super small to begin with, even compared to the other sub-units, and they got less promotion to start with. It's pretty clear from this music video it was a shoestring production. Su's coat was borrowed from one of the Sakura Gakuin teachers. Moa's vest was borrowed from Yui, and Yui borrowed hers from fellow student Raura. The girls taught the skeleton dudes the dance moves themselves. But the video started to blow up once it was posted online. They became so popular, that when lead singer Su-metal (Suzuka Nakamoto) "graduated" from" Sakura Gakuin in 2013 when she turned 15, BABYMETAL became an independent group.

[@paulbroady4141]

The video band are babybones, not actually a real band, but they would play on stage with the girls to backing tracks in the very early days , because they could not always afford to have areal band play with them. Oh how times have changed. Fun reaction , see you next time. 🦊🦊🔥🦊🦊

[@patrickwood4667]

Love this one, this is the 1st Music Video they produced. They are so little in this

[@The_Original_Geoff_B]

This was the video that introduced me to Babymetal. I was in The Gryphon (Bristol's metal pub, and my favourite place to have a beer or 6) when a couple came in and while talking to the landlord (John Ashby) said "You have to see this" and played the video on their laptop - cue two instant converts . . . I still haven't seen them live (I always seem to be out of the UK, or flying back in on the dates they play) but I know John has seen them many times.

[@catrinmelldansen]

Doki Doki Morning! is such a great song!! they had recorded the song two years before the video and had basically no budget, but it's still such a fun video! The song itself turns 12 years old this year (as Babymetal turns 12) which, ironically was the average age of the band at the time! I highly recommend in your spare time listening to the Budokan 2021 version of this, to see how far they've come in 10 years!! I also recommend you react to Megitsune, it's such a banger, and such an iconic song! Onedari Daisakusen, Distortion, Sis. Anger are such good hits too!

[@GOTGames]

Oh thank you my friend for the info and recommendations! Happy to check them out 🤘💯

[@The_Original_Geoff_B]

The average age was a bit more than 12 - SuMetal made sure of that . . .

[@GOT_Clips]

They recorded this song back in 2010 as a part of a Sakura Gakuin album but it wasn't released as a single til 2012.I think they were somewhere between 11 and 13 here. The girls think of this era when they think of babymetal as well and as much as they accomplish over the next decade, that first album really was the essence of who they are. Love em, man! Next (older) video I would suggest is the MV to Iine! that's iine. not Line. Please don't call it Line...

[@flugelhornoldman1362]

Thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。BABYMETAL is singing about a school girl who overslept in the morning and got up quickly and dressed in haste asking repeatedly what time it was now. "Doki Doki" signifies sound of fast heartbeat. And the girl also got excited looking forward to what was going to happen today at her school and in her future as well. Last year 2021, Su and Moa are matured and no longer school girls, but they revived this song in shows at Budokan mimicking their own childhood voices and lovable moves. Every audience at the venue became happy. I was there ! ヽ(^o^)丿

Hey Sir! Another reactor once went to show his buddy Babymetal. The buddy asked "so what genre would you say they are?" The guy said "They're Babymetal - they're their own genre." So yeah, "most Babymetal Babymetal song" makes perfect sense. Rock on! 🤘🦊🤘

[@WarpSkaven]

Their earliest videos were dripping with potential but obvious they were still trying to find that perfect fit, like what the perfect balance of Kawaii to Metal would need to be. "iine!" is another one with a video that seems far far away from where they are now. And yes, the early vids were a bit disturbing in weird ways

[@busyjt]

Iine MV is a must watch

[@Grington300]

Great reaction. The most BABYMETAL BABYMETAL song .... yes that's fair - but you haven't seen 'Iine' (that is iine pronounced ee-neh, not Line) yet.🤘🦊🤘 They recorded 'Doki Doki Morning' at the end of October 2010 and made their live debut at the first Sakura Gakuin show in November 2010 with this song. Su was 12, Yui and Moa were 11. The video was recorded nearly a year later on a shoe string budget. They had to borrow clothes to make up their costumes - the Babybones skeleton suits were black onesies with white masking tape stuck on. Talking about Babybones - they were never a real band, they appeared in music videos and they pretended to play the instruments on stage in the early days before BABYMETAL had the budget for a real live band to support them. There is a commentary video where the girls talk over this video (and 4 other videos) as they reminisce about making them. They were particularly pleased with themselves for teaching the Babybones guys the choreo themselves just so they could dance along with them in the video. So next song - 'Iine' ... official video again, the second song they released (they were playing IDZ earlier, but held the release back until after 'Iine'). Then tell us which is the most BABYMETAL BABYMETAL song.

[@nothsor]

for s shoe string budget, it's better than some videos I remember on MTV

[@cuttysark8017]

This is definitely BM's early idol phase when they were still integrated into the school themed teen idol group Sakura Gakuin. Just look at how "smol" Yui and Moa are... The target audience for this music was teenage girls and the song appeared on the Sakura Gakuin Nendo 2010 CD between standard J-pop songs. I often wonder how much of a shock that was. The song was not initially promoted and a couple of other songs off the CD got videos as they were probably see as more commercial, but Doki Doki Morning got some traction and in 2011, about a year after the release of the CD, Amuse came up with some money for a video. But it was all done on a low budget with the girls wearing borrowed clothes and the backing band miming and wearing black suits with white tape for the skeleton bones...you can see it peeling off if you look closely. "Doki Doki Morning" is about getting ready for school and the hectic life of a young girl. The phrase "doki doki" is a Japanese onomatopoeia word for an excited and racing heart.

[@jasonsmith3457]

The creepy part of the video in comparison of what they actually do on stage shows them asleep until the melody kicks in and they wake up like in a TV show

[@armitage9]

Good reaction, as always. One of the things that we easily forget, caught up in the heavy music they play, is that they were a group of children. A children's group. With songs aimed at children and adolescents. So magnificent that, like many children's productions, they also dazzle us as adults. That is why, due to the lights, the heavy music, the fire and all the paraphernalia that surrounds them, it is easy to lose sight of that: they are children singing and dancing for other children. At least until their second album, where they have already evolved towards more mature music.

[@nomis]

The end of 2017 was their most challenging time. Their lead guitarist had an accident and died. And one of the little girls, Yui Mizuno, had to leave the band for health reasons.

[@The_Dudester]

Please consider this recommendation: BabyMetal performed two songs with Rob Halford at an awards show. It is very different because the third song (which you should react to) Yui and Moa are on guitar. You see the girls as you haven't seen them before.

[@hugovictor5186]

Doki Doki Morning is the most Babymetal song? It is, at least if you refer to what Babymetal was at the beginning. They changed. It is the first Babymetal song, released in 2010. The MV finished production a year later. The girls were 12, 12 and 13 years old at the time. The production was very low budget. They did not even have proper costumes but used their own clothes and borrowed ones. What you call a band are backup dancers who play air guitar and air drums. Babymetal could not afford to pay musicians. Now that you've done this reaction, you are cleared for Junna's drum cover.

[@smashstuff86]

Since you did Doki Doki Morning's music video, you probably should do the promo video of Uki Uki Midnight. IMO those 2 are the most Babymetal songs.

Like Karate's. I also love the fact that they did Babymetal reacting to Babymetal MV's. They really are adorable. And you get a feel for their individual personalities. When you watch those really pay attention to some of the short comments they make. Su apparently still has her mic from the Megitsune MV. That is going in a museum someday. They even did Babymetal reacting to reactors reacting to Babymetal. Made me wish other bands would do that. Would be rather interesting to say the least. I use this song as my alarm clock.

This was their first song, the very first introduction of the group at a Sakura Gakuin show was this song and it's still floating around KZbin. They've come so far from three girls singing and dancing to a metal recording to now. The "band" there is Baby Bones, they don't actually play instruments,so yeah they can do whatever they like. They have made a few appearances since the Kami Band took over (they definitely do play instruments), most notably I remember seeing them in live recording of Headbanger! (Moa birthday Edition), they were sent into the crowd and led the crowd in bowing to Moa.

[@outwest1014]

I don't believe Su auditioned for Sakura Gakuin but Yui and Moa did (there's a video) when they were 10yo. Did not join Sakura Gakuin until they were 11yo. Meaning they were selected for the Heavy Music Club on day 1. (Note, they did not volunteer) Kobametal was experimenting at this point and as you go through the songs in calendar order you can see Babymetal grow into to the Metal Giant they are now. Suggestion, "Rehearsal Doki Doki Morning" You will see the girls in a very candid day(s) that leads up to their first live performance as Babymetal performing "Doki Doki Morning" live as part of a Sakura Gakuin revue.
