Her face when she heard the original. That's why I love Babymetal. That's the feelings they evoke. Beautiful.

[@dingjk5630]

BabyMetal has gained many different types of fans since the piano version came out. Some of those fans are going to be metal fans. BabyMetal has been changing the landscape of metal music. Thanks for your great reaction.

[@Icipher353]

It's interesting that Taylor was more engaged by the original, because most of us kitsune were blown away by Su's pure vocals on the First Take version. Maybe it's because we're used to seeing Su at her powerful best, but seeing her being subtle and technical is such a lovely surprise that allows us to appreciate a new facet of her incredible vocal talent.

[@DeePal072]

I've to say that I love the piano version, but the original is more meaningful, as the music gives a different impact to the lyrics. 🤘🦊⚡️

[@CMSnyder80]

@@DeePal072 True..they hit differently for different reasons and some may be drawn more to one than the other. But both are amazing in technical music/vocal abilities and I'm HERE for both!

[@BasicModelling]

You really need to hear / see the original first and then the FirstTake version, in that order..

[@lostkingsofanime6075]

yes it reminds me of Akatsuki unfinished where its all Su's vocals.

[@tanamach]

Good Reaction! Every song has its own ambiguity, but the producer told me that the two girls were very shocked by what happened in Eastern Europe last year, because the last show of their previous world tour was in Moscow. The reason is that the last show of the previous world tour was in Moscow.

[@SiD-vs7jg]

Saw them live on Friday for the second time and they blew me away again. The Kami band sound is just as incredible live, the drummer is phenomenal. Soo glad they did this track live too, love it.

[@charleslatora5750]

I'm an old metal head. Old. Su n Moa. Their voices with the piano made my eyes wet. Now I love Babymetal even more. Show her the English version of The One.

[@jeremyboynowski3784]

I can't wait to see her reaction when she WATCHES them do a song live. Hopefully you introduce her to a song like Catch Me IF You Can with Yui or something like that. In response to her comment about not liking to listen to songs that are in a different language. I can appreciate and totally understand that. BUT, with this band, the singer, Su, has even said (I'm going to paraphrase as I ALWAYS forget the exact quote), she'd rather you FEEL the music. The words aren't as important as how the song makes you feel. It is a very big deal to Su that she is able to relay the song as it's meant to be relayed. There's even a song that she didn't like performing for years because she felt she wasn't mature enough to give it the emotional depth it deserved. She finally hit that and it made her happy when, during her performance, she saw some people in the audience crying because of the emotions (Yea, she's probably almost as good as Morisette Amon at transferring the feelings like with Never Enough). Anyhow, great reaction, and hopefully we see more Babymetal with the missus soon!

[@jakemuller8626]

Finally she met this amazing group, welcome to the Foxhole and BabyMetal journey 🦊🤘🔥 Now you need to show her the original trio performing live on the stage and later with the new official member MomoMetal. A couple of days ago they released the new song version of The One at TFT and also started the Sabaton's Europe Tour in Leeds, yesterday was London time and tomorrow is Cardiff turn,. everyone is having a great time with them coming back to the stage in this live tour around the world. Thanks for sharing this and see you next time 🦊🤘🔥

[@RacconPolice]

Good reaction 🤙Welcome to the foxhole Taylor 🦊🤘 Interesting first song to choose as it is a very emotionally driven one that usually takes a few listens to really sink in and get the water flowing. Killermcknight love how excited you got showing Taylor, literally like a kid trying to convince mom why you need that new toy lol. All good, I'd be the same way or worse😂. Oh and best part of the video, Taylor "Their cute girls" *silence...................... * good call Killermcknight... Good call🤘🦊

[@Marty-Metal]

excellent content Killermcknight-Metal, maybe you and the GF should go see them live, they are coming to North America.

[@Killermcknight]

I saw that with dethklok right? I think you're right!!

[@Marty-Metal]

@@Killermcknight yup, time to give the GF the crash course in BABYMETAL and you will both have the times of your life

[@TexasVeteranPatriot]

I just snapped to the mushroom cloud symbology...damn took me long enough....

[@Killermcknight]

The bombs dropping on Hiroshima?

[@TexasVeteranPatriot]

@@Killermcknight Yep, think so, the tree, the umbrella person, the silhouettes, but slow as I am others would know better...the song is supposed to be about Hiroshima...

[@robxsiq7744]

You showed her a f1rst take monochrome piano version instead of like, Road of Resistance for her first song? the F1rst take stuff is mostly for fans who know the music back and forth who can appreciate the massive contrast. I recommend you drag her back in, RoR Live in Japan Edit: just realized you haven't reacted to RoR Live in Japan...you have seen that video, right? its like..literally the thing that turns casuals into fans. the concert showcases the peak BM on every level.

[@Killermcknight]

She doesn't like Metal music if you check out the channel with the artists she's featured in I thought the first take videos which I hadn't seen would be a good introduction into BM because like we've said in the video she had a resistance to BM because of a perception that BM was just screaming and heavy breakdowns. IMHO this was a way to show her how good Su-Metal is in hopes to encourage her to want to see more!

[@Grington300]

Great double reaction ... and you have so much more BABYMETAL to show to your girlfriend (and for you to watch too).🤘🦊🤘

[@ojpete]

Beautiful song, great reaction. Part of me was hoping you'd show her the live version to take in the wonderful choreography.

[@Killermcknight]

Definitely going to show her something that shows off the choreography!

[@jorge33484]

The interaction with people un this song is Insane 😊

[@nikkel6793]

im taking my wife to babymetal in september. so exited. shes dreading it but i think she will be surprised by how much she loves it

[@pigeonchatter4536]

can you believe su moa and former member yui gotup on a stage together sonisphere 2014 uk in front of a crowd of 50000 who mostly had no idea who they were at the young age of 16 for su and 14 for moa and yui not only did they give a great performance this is when they became world stars sad to say yui no longer a member due to health reasons but a lady who has a constant smile of joy on her face named momoko givin us fans all her heart every single performance have you seen their latest mv? metari it will make you smile and just wanna dance sing and celebrate

[@Trung-vietLe]

You guys need to check out the live version. No comparision. Their best performance

[@kato0507]

Just like most soft songs that get covered as metal songs, and vice versa, metal songs turned softer, it just hits different

[@KillingMachine44]

The BABYMETAL Reactors Resource chanel uploaded the LIVE version from the shows they did in Japan in January

[@cocktail1385]

Exciting reaction video!!! I can feel your love for BABYMETAL🦊

[@Killermcknight]

Thank you!! 😁

[@jaykanou7331]

Great reaction!!! Glad she enjoyed it! Also…. Congratulations of nothing falling for it, when she saw them the first time and said that they’re cute girls, you just ignored it! Well done 👌

[@dantheman9228]

Su gives away her top singing secret in the first take in that she has that playing in her ear piece to keep her time

[@METALSKINMETAL]

Great reaction! seeing them for the 4th,time, in Orlando, cant wait! BABYMETAL live is LIFE BABYMETAL FOREVER 🤘🤘🤘

[@meimemeime]

There is no live version available yet, but please also see the live choreographed version. The real BM is the live performance, where the audience and the direction add to the experience. The live drumming is overwhelming and the dancing is great! From Japan🦊

[@RaXXha]

There's some live stuff from the european tour starting to show up on youtube this weekend, Monocrome and Divine Attack is on the set list. No pro-shot stuff as of yet though.

[@Soulspinner001]

I may be showing my age, but the mellow parts in this song reminds me a lot of Sylvian and Sakamoto "Forbidden Colours". If you haven't heard it check it out.

[@silverj1697]

Now have her watch the live version they did at PIA arena in 2023. That live was a TRUE showcase of what BM is about.

[@Tickle193]

In fact that it's supposed to be an uplifting song, I can't watch the piano version without my eyes getting wet. Because Su sings it with so much emotion.

[@tomooo2637]

I have fallen down the fox hole recently and my favourite at the moment is Metali. One thing I have found - I have a expensive hifi system - and the absolute clarity & intensity of Su's voice of the piano version is stunning when turned up. If you get the opportunity to play this on something really good, it will tear you apart.

[@scorpionsblackout8290]

Would have been good if you filled her in on what the songs about first. Would have added to the impact, considering Su's hometown is Hiroshima.

[@honorarythamesman5732]

Was very lucky to see them last night at Wembley Arena - heard the original Monochrome - they were wonderful as always - sadly only 45 minutes on stage as special guests of Sabaton (who were very good too) - take care!😊

[@emb5091]

Great reaction! I'm glad she enjoyed the songs! 🤘🦊🤘

[@Killermcknight]

Me too honestly didn't know how she'd react to BM!

[@anotherkyle3984]

this is my favorite song by BABYMETAL, both versions are just awesome

[@bobespirit2112]

Yeah, show her all the great Japanese female bands! Lovebites, Nemophila, Band-Maid, etc. And also the Villarreal sisters, The Warning! All 🔥

[@stevechevy3382]

Nice reaction. Babymetal magic is the only way to understand how Babymetal has done any of the things they've done over the years. From starting their metal journey when they were so young. To becoming internationally known in just 4 to 5 years later. To top of the charts by the time Su was 20. Amazing. And add in they did with an experimental style is even more crazy. They really took a chance on this. Jpop style vocal with a Metal. Even their entertainment company did want to give them anything for it. Babymetal earned everything they have the hard way. Going out there and performing and getting fans. It took nearly 4 years for them to put out their first album. They released some singles before that. By 2016 they released their 2nd album and were touring the world. By the 3rd album sadly, Babymetal started share the same things that many legendary bands have. One of their members left in 2018 due to health issues and one of the guitarists tragically died in a falling accident. One of the drummer brothers died that same year. "That's tuff buddy". Felt like the Fire Nation attacked them or something. But the 3rd album becomes even more successful than the first two. And now like he said they added a new member Momoko now known as Momometal. she was promoted from the three backup dancers known as the avengers. They're now on tour and will come to the USA in late August. Tickets are on sale now. Some places have already sold out. New York, Georga and others. Their concerts have been called life altering events. Making folks happy and overjoyed. Live performance is what Babymetal have become known for. And if you're ever lucky enough to catch one of their shows in Japan. They are on an epic level. Even their small shows have become bucket list type stuff. They never tank a show or just go through the motions. They are known for giving Maximum effort all the time. Next up Moabanger. The fourth of July is her birthday. Babymetal did a special concert for her 20th birthday known as Legend M. Where they did a 20th birthday version of Headbanger. Headbangaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa time.

[@BlazinNSoul]

The only way to properly experience Babymetal is live & in person!! That is pretty much a right of passive if your lucky enough to experience it. My first show was at Budokan in Japan. Rondo Of Nightmare Mischiefs Of Metal Gods is probably one of the greatest performances I've even seen during a live concert. _____________________________________________________________ It was bittersweet though as Mikio Fujioka who was part of the Kami Band. Died tragically in a balcony accident back in 2019. Su-Metal was brilliant in this particular performance and only 17 at the time. Su-Metal is 25 now Moa is 23 and MoMo-Metal is 20 I think. They are preparing for a big world tour dubbed the BabyKlok tour. Which has pretty much coast to coast tour dates over the summer & fall. Where they will be Co-headlining with Dethklok and special guest Jason Richardson. I also recommend Bring Me The Horizon with Kingslayer. In which they collaborated with a couple years ago & is pretty much metal gold. They have quite a few collaborations they have done over the years. _________________________________________________________ Road To Resistance was a collaboration with DragonForce. Along with Distortion a collaboration with Arch Enemy's Alissa White-Gluz Su-Metal also had a duet with Judas Priest once upon a time as well. 🙀💕 They have released 4 albums over the last 10 or so years. Which the newest being "The Other One" which dropped last month. So a lot of material to cover here but great reaction!! Welcome to the Foxhole lol!! 🤘🦊💕

[@monkut]

Excellent double feature and great job! Now we have the actual live version from the Makuhari concerts here: "Monochrome" (Live at Makuhari 2023): kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaSriIx8l7xmqrc And this one destroys both the piano and the regular studio version... for many reasons. 🤘🦊

[@alexanderrichter9740]

This Version fits better to the background of the Song. When you read the lyrics remember its mentioned to the night of Hiroschima

[@fus149hammer5]

I saw them last night at Wembley. They certainly held their own against Sabaton. Three young Japanese girls with cartoon voices doing highly choreographed dance moves to thrash metal shouldn't work but bloody hell it does!😅

[@Killermcknight]

Ya got that right!

[@Varksterable]

I'd say I'm a big Babymetal fan. About 6k hours listening to the first 3 albums. That counts, right? But this is the _only_ song I've heard on the new album so far. Because .. I don't really know. But why would you want more? Some day I'll listen to the rest. For now, I'm fine. Nice reaction.

[@mikepowers9486]

The Japanese language is already beautiful but Su's voice turns it to pure angelic. 🤘🦊🤘 Made me laugh at first. You are like come check this METAL band out. Then BAM Su, Moa and Piano. 😁 You should knock her out of her seat with Road of Resistance, Megitsune, and Headbangerrrrrr!

[@Egarza1421]

There is a live version available on KZbin channel babymetal reactor’s resource. It’s from the January shows before they announced momoko as MOMOMETAL and before Moa began singing live again.

Love to see double shot reactions when there is two different yet equally as good version Like a music video and a live performance Karate, Megitsune, Distortion are good examples or like Monochrome that has a piano/unfinished version you could do Akatsuki and The One Headbanger and Moa-banger is also a good double shot reaction you should do

[@geestv8652]

Im a new subscriber. Pls do more babymetal reaction with your girlfriend

[@rah2287]

Well done Killer. Well done. I happen to think that the piano version is a masterpiece. They are currently on the European leg of their world tour and have had concerts in Leeds 5 days ago and at Wembley Arena two days ago. The reviews have been great. I have seen LIVE Pro Shot videos of the following performances from their concerts in Tokyo and Yokohama. Monochrome is gorgeous LIVE, Divine Attack, Metalizm, Maya, Light and Darkness are all fantastic and I am looking forward to the others. Good luck. Until next time.

[@Woelflein]

I second that: in the regular songs, you sometimes struggle to notice how skilled of a singer Su-Metal is. The piano version highlights her skills. In my opinion, she sings with surgical precision, her voice is like a laser beam, just cutting through everything in its path.

Umm,, why do u keep comparing the metal version to this one and air play guitar? Its not supposed to be that, on this version. You needed to focus on Su Metal's superior vocal ability , not what its lacking! Other than that, u are good ...

[@Killermcknight]

I think Su Metal's vocal abilities are both showcased in both versions exceptionally well. The piano version to me just doesn't have the kami band in it however she sings the song the exact same way to me. I understand that the vocals are the main focus of the piano version which fans appreciate that because I can see how some parts of the vocals get lost in the instruments but I think I emphasized the organial version way more because the kami band to me is what makes that particular song amazing.

Subtitles for this version defeats the purpose. Shouldve done that on the original song. This ones sole purpose is to drown in the sound. Reading along distracts you from really doing that. Bad idea.
