[@dokapin100]

It's a different genre from K-POP, so there's no need to compare.

[@Smartguy561]

You mean it's supposed to be. But actually it's Jpop with metal influences. It's the same basic concept, the only difference is the background music. Both have dancers, both have choreographed dance routines. Both involve young teenage girls. It's just repackaged to appeal to a different audience. I'm not saying it's a bad thing to enjoy it, but it's really just the same thing repackaged.

[@YA-fi3ng]

@@Smartguy561 　As you may not know, K-pop has been around for the last 20 years. J-pop (Kayo-kyoku) is older than K-pop, its form is not repackaged. Japan is not active in the foreign music market, because it doesn't have to be. Therefore, many foreigners do not know Japanese music. "J-pop" is a name created by a Japanese radio station in 1989, and it is Japanese-made English. Then, in the late 1990s, Japan began to call it "K-pop" to refer to Korean music. The music market in Japan and the United States is huge enough to occupy half of the world. In comparison, the Korean market is small. So in the 2000s, K-pop was on sale in the Japanese market. And in the 2010s, K-pop entered the U.S. market. Babymetal, YMO and Kyu Sakamoto were not created for sale abroad. People who were interested in Japanese music found them and became famous. Thank you!

[@Smartguy561]

@@YA-fi3ng not true. If you actually research the history of the band, you will see that the basis for the musical style of the band is I'm fact, Jpop. This can be confirmed by googling the band and reading the history of the band you will see that their vocal style is heavily influenced by 1960's Japanese rock and pop. Thank you!

[@YA-fi3ng]

@@Smartguy561 　not true? Babymetal is produced by a team. The leader of the team was influenced by X-Japan, Seikima II, Animetal, etc. It was born from his idea that it would be interesting to add cute dancers like babies to Japanese metal. Su, Yui, Moa and Mikiko (dance choreographer) didn't know metal until they formed Babymetal. It is thought that it gave birth to a novel style. Thank you!

[@Smartguy561]

@@YA-fi3ng Go read the history of the band and what the musical influences are. The band member themselves define their music as a blend of Jpop EDM and metal. I apologise for the KPop mention in my original comment that was actually a typo. I meant to say Jpop. (I have the stupid keyboard correction program to thank for the typo.) Sorry for that misunderstanding.

[@Kmudaify]

The first song, Karate, is the girls fighting their alter selves, which is symbolism for the biggest thing holding you back is yourself.. The theme is never give up, always move forward. The second song, Headbanger, is truly a girl power song. it's about a 15 year old girl discarding the traditional role of a young girl in Japan and attending her first metal concert, with a deeper meaning of "be yourself". You'll find "girl power" and positive themes in almost all Babymetal songs. The video you watched is a concert from 2013 of Su's (lead singer) 16th birthday celebration. The other two girls would have been 15. I hope you keep looking into Babymetal. They are an island in the world of metal... and music in general. Three young girls who go well out of their way (with support from their management and team) to not be sexualized, presenting a positive image, and carrying a positive message. Each of the girls considers being a role model to other young girls an honor and a responsibility, trying hard to live up to that designation. ,Some of the more "Poppy" songs are Doki Doki Morning. Ilne (pronounced ill-nay, which means so good), Uki-Uki Midnight, Awadama Fever, and Yava. Perhaps the most enabling girl power song is "Megitsune", which carries a very powerful message (despite women sometimes feeling forced to hide behind makeup and smiles, they are bad asses that should not be underestimated). Songs with harder metal influences include Sis Anger and Rondo of Nightmare.

[@kikihoyo2091]

Kmuda Oscarfish actually, it's "iine," pronounced "ee-ne."

[@utfan971]

Yava! is poppy? Come on, you can literally break your neck from headbanging to the chorus, I can tell you.

[@7srchoed]

Bravo

[@lovefrompraha]

Karate isn't about fighting the bad guy. It's about defeating challenges in your life and yourself and overcoming them. Pretty much all of Babymetal songs are positive like that in one way or another

[@steenbronkegmail1]

The three girls names are Suzuka Nakamoto 20 (Su-Metal, lead singer), Yui Mizuno 19 (Yuimetal, scream & dance on the left), and Moa Kikuchi 19 (Moametal, scream & dance on the right). They are world famous, not just in Japan. They started performing at very young ages (Su was only 5yo). BABYMETAL formed as an idol group originally in 2010 when the girls were 11, 11, and 13. In 2013, the main singer became to old for the idol group and had to "graduate" out of the group. BUT, their manager/creator of the group (Key Kobayashi aka Koba-Metal) saw its' huge potential and decided to turn the group into a real band to keep the original members together forever. That's also the year they gained new members of the band called the Kami Band (God Band). Made up of some of the best musicians in the world (which takes there live shows into the realm of legend). BABYMETAL became really popular, and by the end of 2014 were a worldwide phenomenon. Their popularity is still growing and shows no sign of stopping. Multiple world tours and have sold out arenas (even played live on US national television on the Colbert Late Show in 2016). We're all waiting to see what comes next in 2018 and the HYPE is real. They've toured all over the world, have won countless music awards all over the world (Metal Hammer Magazine even named their debut self-titled album "Best Metal Album of the 21st Century"), and have opened for The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Lady GaGa, Metallica, Guns N Roses, Korn, Stone Sour, and have shared the stage with Rob Halford of Judas Priest, and Dragonforce. All have signed off and credited BABYMETAL as being a legit/talented band.

[@renefrijhoff2484]

Yep, there is even a recording on youtube with Judas Priest.

[@pelgervampireduck]

the guitar solo is not "ruining", it's MUSIC!!!!. real music, people playing an instrument, not computer generated noises or anything like that, don't be afraid of guitars, it's real music!!! also, maybe death metal or black metal are not for you, but try some older kind of metal maybe? from the 70s and 80s? like "paranoid" by black sabbath, "breaking the law" by judas priest (and then check out the live version by babymetal!), "trust" by megadeth, stuff like that.

I like that i can't understand the lyrics. Most of the time the actual lyrics are a letdown. I can love the music and not have it ruined by bad lyrics.

[@Danganraptor]

@@Jordan-Ramses Not sure what you're talking about- the lyics for most of their songs are rather happy and peppy.

[@Jordan-Ramses]

@@Danganraptor most? Dunno. Akatsuki is melancholy. So is Headbanger. No rain no rainbow is very sad. So is Starlight. But I was talking about English songs from other groups.

[@GummiAnd]

the handsign is supposed to be a fox. closely resembling the normal devil horn metal handsign. as for the meaning of the songs, Karate is about fighting yourself and your inner demons. Headbanger is about growing up and developing your own identity. and all that energy is present in almost all their songs! very much part of what makes them awesome. would recommend Road of resistance as the next babymetal song. and then either Akatsuki or Amore. the last two are solo performances by Suzuka the lead singer, without the two younger ones (Yui and Moa) :)

[@RetiredInThailand]

supposedly the girls were told to do the heavy metal 'horns' sign, but they messed it up and did it this way (fox sign) instead of correcting them the manager decided to call it the 'fox sign' and created a whole 'Fox God' back story ... which if you ever get around to watching one of their live concerts is a major theme throughout the show.

[@renefrijhoff2484]

I can add two more: Ijime, dame, zetai is about bullying and to not let it get to you and to bystanders to take responsibility. Gimme chocolat is about liking to eat sweets and not worry too much about becoming a bit chubby (not fat, as that's something entirely different). Although this is more in relation to the Japanese culture, it applies to everyone.

[@cixelsyd40]

If you are going to reccommend Su solo songs you have to mention "No Rain, No Rainbow"

[@chrismartino3519]

Her voice is soooo clean

[@autohmae]

The Metal genre is very brought, it has very many sub-genres. And Babymetal lives on the edge of the metal genre. Some say they've created their own sub-genre. Glad you like them. You can definitely work out on Babymetal, they have concerts up to 1.5 hours without pausing ! Not sure how they do it. They most have so much energy ! As you can see the audience also gets a great workout too. Maybe we'll keep the crucifixion video for later. :-)

[@rickwagner-]

+Giddy Kitty OK, yes she was crucified in concert for her birthday. But she got better. : ) It's sort of like in Star Wars. When she is struck down she comes back more powerful than you can even imagine.

I enjoyed the other video a lot more, your reaction was epic on that one 😂 It was expected that, unlike the other two (great) bands, you would enjoy BabyMetal, they are the kind of band that people that are Into Metal might enjoy. Let me recommend something... something you might like... "Sleeping Sun" by Nightwish. P.S.: RIP Mikio Fujioka

Yaaay, so glad to see that Ghost is on your metal suggestions list! They're definitely more theatrical and melodic with their songs, I think you'll love them! "Cirice" is on the list, I see; maybe add their songs "He Is," "Pinnacle to the Pit," and "Square Hammer" as well? All of those are super catchy songs with very creative music vids. Keep up the great work! \m/

BABAYMETAL are all kawaii and badass, and their band KAMI band are sick! If you are into this kind of genre please do check band maid, they are great too! And if you would like to check out male band, check out one ok rock, they are also from japan 🗾 🇯🇵 but they are recently playing in the west and starting to be known, they are from the same talent agency as BABYMETAL.

[@infidelaperion3699]

Hi there, I really liked this video and look forward to you delving more into Babymetal and the different styles of metal. I think there is so much wonder and surprise to be gained exploring metal music. Babymetal is a much more beginner friendly band for metal than Behemoth or Cannibal Corpse. Also, it doesn’t help that the graphic nature of the videos can’t be anything but a bit distracting from the experience of the song. I love those bands, but it definitely took time for me to appreciate their sounds. They were very much an acquired taste for me over time. Also I can relate to what you mentioned in the second video about there being a lot of sounds in the middle of song. When the guitarist started soloing a little bit, you said it was a little bit ruining of the experience. It’s okay for the sounds to impact people that way when starting with metal. There’s a density and thickness to the instrumentation that takes time for ears to become accustomed to, everything sounds a bit chaotic at first. But over time ears will pick up on and appreciate what the instruments are doing, things will start to sound clearer. More Babymetal- definitely Road of Resistance live For a band to explore after Babymetal, let’s see, try: Nightwish- Ghost Love Score @ Buenos Aires Devin Townsend- Kingdom EMGTV performance Iron Maiden- Hallowed Be Thy Name live Metallica- One Keep up the good work, take care

[@autohmae]

I almost think she need to listen to Pink Floyd or something to get used to all the guitar stuff. Built it up from scratch.

[@infidelaperion3699]

autohmae I like your idea. Really hoping Giddy’s next dive into Babymetal includes the Road of Resistance live video. The united audience during the “whoa-oh-whoa-ohs” is really cool to experience. And the guitar is pretty catchy with some shreddy parts that are a bit more beginner friendly to the ear, less chaotic sounding

[@the1stJZ]

Loved your reactions. I've seen several "How ? respond to Babymetal" and am always disappointed that "Road To Resistance" isn't included because it is a masterpiece. From the song to the flawless choreography. From the directing to the editing. From the Morgue Metal band (with the scary good drummer and guitarist) to the pyro. It is unlike anything I've ever tubed. A blogger made a vid of Japanese people reactioning to Babymetal, they were all lukewarm. Most hadn't heard of them and one guy said Japanese metal wouldn't succeed in Japan. Well Babymetal plays in large sold out venues. So it seems half of Japan knows them and it seems they're doing just fine.

[@the8thnotesketch108]

I’ve never been much of a Babymetal fan, but I do respect them as musicians, and I know they put a lot of effort into their songs, but I’m glad you’ve found a metal genre you like! :D Perhaps you could try Sabaton? They’re a power metal band, and their song “Poltava” is pretty awesome!

Great reaction ur so cute! u should react to more Babymetal some of their cute songs are Doki Doki Morning, Onedari Daisakusen, 4 no uta, Uki Uki Midnight... u won't regret it

[@Emanuel-ng2if]

Great video (yes, I'm watching all your reaction videos). And if you wonder about the diference between death metal, black metal and blackened death metal... Well, death metal usually is really fast (with very quicky tempos), and the guitars are tuned low. The quality of the sound is good. The voices are deep, brutal and low (that kind of voice is called "growl"). And the lyrics usually are about death, darkness, gore, murder, etc. There are a few bands (like Death) that talk about phillosophy. Is a really brutal a music The black metal is darker, but less brutal. Usually the tempos are slower than in the death metal, and the sound quality is worse. And that is used for many bands to create a dark atmosphere. The voices are high pitched (a kind of scream called "shriek", but some bands uses growls but in a hugher pitch than in the death metal). And the lyrics are usually about death, satanism (usually made like a way to protest aganist the cristianity), protest aganist religion, the forest, the ancient escandinavian culture, and even some bands (like Immortal) talk about fantasy And the blackened death metal is a combination of both. Is death metal with some black metal elements. (Behemot is a great example. Is brutal, but is athmospheric and the lirycs are more similar to the black metal lyrics. But the music is more similar to the death metal Ps: sorry for my bad english. In my country we talk in spanish Pps: I love your pronunciation

You need to go see them live. They will blow you away. They are lil bad asses on stage.

[@nihilizt]

Babymetal> K Pop

[@Glynthepin]

Not sure if you were recommended those videos or a chance selection? However you chose these two videos, they are an excellent choice. The music video for 'Karate' is a song from their second CD. Headbanger is from the first CD and they are using the live band (Kami band) at this stage as opposed to the skeleton band (Mr Bones) who mimed playing the instruments. Their earlier music videos were made when they were much younger and are songs from their first CD. The early music videos, although very cute (kawaii) do not offer a good representation of their live shows. Many first time reactors to BabyMetal, look at the official video for Gimmie Chocolate (it gets chosen because of the high view numbers) think it is gimmicky, take a look and react to another early music video and write them off as a manufactured gimmick. Somehow, you managed to get both videos passed the Copyright block. A word of warning, many BabyMetal videos get a worldwide block. The person reacting does the video in video option, as you have done here and after a while, KZbin blocks them or cuts the audio of the song. There are many BabyMetal songs which are more on the 'poppy' side which may appeal to you more? Here are a couple of links for you to look at and react if you wish. 'Doki Doki Morning' a earlier live performance with the skeleton band: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXy9Xpx_qN1lh80 'Awadama Fever' a live performance with the Kami Band and some on screen translation: www.dailymotion.com/video/x4c5v4j Congratulations on making a good effort to stop using the word 'like'. A very difficult habit to break especially when friends and family use it ad infinitum.

Karate is about confronting your inner demons like self doubt as if you're in a physical fight and you may get knocked down, but you still need to get back up and keep fighting. The hand gesture is a symbol of the Fox God that they've appropriated as a "rock n roll hand sign".

[@ingsoc_8295]

If you liked this I would suggest listening to Dragonforce, some of the people in Dragonforce write some of Babymetals music. It’s power metal, one of the least scary metal genres out there I really think you’ll like them. Also you just got a new sub! Love your channel

[@autohmae]

Judging by what she said about the guitar playing of Mikio in this video: "there were a lot of sounds going on and was kind of annoying." seems to me like Dragonforce might not yet be for her ? Well, it would take a good song selection probably. I did people suggest the Babymetal song that the 2 guitarists of Dragonforce created the guitar parts for: Road of Resistance.

[@WyattsMetalLife]

[@WyattsMetalLife]

Giddy Kitty I would like to be friends with you if I lived in the same place as you ^^

[@WyattsMetalLife]

Giddy Kitty you sound Hispanic?

[@autohmae]

I thought it was Italian...? But maybe I'm wrong.

[@diegoanthonyherrera9952]

is old but if u want a clear thing about this, she is in a live concert, not backup.. her voice is stable in all the concert. a kpop group can even do it 2 songs with correct performance lmao.. and is valid for every kpop group i watched. BTS, blackpink, (snsd uff playback queens), 2ne1, miss a, twice, mamamoo etc.. full of back track and playback, specially in the singer parts, not the raps bc is easy

Babymetal was the creation of a new subgenre of metal music, it's called Kawaii Metal (Cute Metal).

[@xxduluxx]

You Should check the song Pisces By the band Jinjer...A metal band with a female lead singer with extreme badass voice!!

[@davidlangham5335]

never heard of babymetal until 2017. They have been out along time before that. Our stupid american entertainment industry is corrupt as hell

[@BenC460]

I figured you would like that better than Cannibal Corpse. And yes, the two younger girls did crucify Su the main singer on stage once but just once, lol. Afterall they are a metal band.

[@autohmae]

But Yui and Moa lke Cannibal Corpse too. ;-) (well, I don't believe very young Moa as much, I'll believe Yui and possibly not for the music)

[@jeffschreifels8651]

Plus Su sort of became Jesus for a moment on a rarely seen Babymetal song called Tsubasa Wo Kudasai.

[@autohmae]

Well, not sure specifically about crucifixion in case of Babymetal, my guess is it's an homage to what other metal bands do. But as I understand it in stories in Japan rebirth is used to signify a new phase in life. In case of Su-metal, the main singer, she was turning 16, it was a birthday concert and a new phase in life.

[@blackguard504]

Su-Metal was crucified again on her 20th birthday as well in Hiroshima.

[@LuanSoares]

She was crucified cause she died as a normal person to rebirn as a metal godness. That's the meaning of the show

[@yugoxgc]

Dont worry about not being able to tell the difference between genres. Its simple matter of when your really into a thing you can tell the niuanced difference.

[@Serenade314]

Resistance is Futile! Welcome to the World of \m/ BABYMETAL \m/

[@jukijunk]

More more more Babymetal content!

[@emmanuelabuchi6489]

Its not K-POP. This is K-METALLLLL

[@OnlineIncomeProfits]

Hey, I love your channel. I came from the flute video, I think you're gonna be big soon :-) Oh, have you heard of the Japanese all-girl metal band, "Lovebites"? They have an awesome song called "Shadowmaker", you can make a reaction video on that.

[@Deatheater900]

Welcome to THE ONE!

[@Deatheater900]

Giddy Kitty Yes! BABYMETAL fans are very close to each other more than any other fan base in my opinion. With that said all of us as close and connected as we are we're called as a whole THE ONE. And since you said you really like them you are now part of the family! If you ever want to connect with other fans I highly recommend the group BABYMETAL FANS WORLD👌 on Facebook. We're always talking to each other and sharing funny posts. In general we all have fun and enjoy each other. We're always looking for and accepting new members!

[@denisbriggs2992]

They have a song called THE One which they sing for the fans and they contributed to the writing. There is a part Japanese version and a full English version too

[@chaseharmon77]

The art is murder-puppet master. You won't regret it

[@kazuk4886]

Japan baby metal

[@hasukkai]

"Don't eat that!" lol

[@rexgavin5406]

Fun fact: DREAMCATCHER loves Baby Metal

[@onsesejoo2605]

Does anyone have an idea if the choreography has anything specific to Japanese culture ?

[@karankapoor5281]

TBH I never Karate by BabyMetal before though I heard they had a song called Karate now i think i like it.

[@zeroad84]

The hand sign is for the "Inari god" but I recommend road of resistance the most

[@mg4869]

Very nice reaction and commentary. Yes, Babymetal can be a bit much to take in (to a non-metal, new fan). The crucifixion, though - you GOTTA see that. Remember, this band is all about empowerment, encouragement, happiness, and unity. It's not going to be anything bad. It might help to know that in their early work, Babymetal uses Christian imagery and themes a bit differently than people generally understand them to be. (Or *used to use*, as they have moved on to a more Japanese-based folk Shinto based form of expression now.) Anyway, they use the crucifixion as a vehicle of transformation. In Babymetal lore, the girls are supernatural entities whose mission is to unite people through metal song and dance. As the girls progress in their mission, they gain experience. Basically, in video game terminology, after so much XP, they Level-UP. That is, they gain a higher level of spirituality, and greater "powers". The crucifixion (which is just Su-Metal standing in front of a cross) is a ceremonial visual of her, and the two other girls by proxy, getting supernaturally promoted. It is very powerful the first time you see it. At least it was for me. Babymetal has this knack for taking established bits of other cultures and using them in such a way that, if it were anyone else it would be a major scandal. But Babymetal... you can tell that not only do they mean no offense, they mean to be unifying and inclusive. This ability to unify people that would otherwise never interact with one anther (J-Pop fans and heavy metal fans, for example), is just part of their magic. A great deal of that magic stems from them having no ulterior motives and absolutely no guile whatsoever. Babymetal opened my mind to things I never thought I would get into. I was a life-long heavy metal fan, and very much opposed to pop of any sort. Now I'm heavy into J-Pop and making inroads into K-Pop as well. With THIS power of transformation, I can believe that they are supernatural beings. But - You do you. Honestly, it's good either way. I hope you become a hardcore Babymetal fan!

[@karloxz16]

Baby metal is love

[@nevermorecbf]

I love that you snuck that little pic of Zushi from Hunter x Hunter in there the first time they said "Ossu!"

[@donblair3715]

You are too adorable you remind me of my daughter with your reactions to BabyMetal.

[@MetalMoose13]

Baby Metal impresses me. Those girls either know their Metal Roots, or are being taught Metal Roots in the process. The "Puppy" as you've referred to it, is something that was brought forth by Ronnie James Dio. It's from Italy. It's called Catching the Evil Eye. A hand sign that is to ward away negative energy. One of their other videos, I feel, is a tribute to the Soul of Metal as well as a tribute to the late Ronnie James Dio. RIP Ronnie.
