[@workloadspd]

Pasting from a kind youtuber: "For those that don't understand Japanese, this song is about "kakurenbo", the Japanese version of hide-and-seek. Except they are playing it with an Oni (a mythical creature that usually gets translated as *demon*). You hear the Oni say "mo ikai" (are you ready) and the girls reply "mada da yo" (not yet) which is kakurenbo's version "ready or not here I come". They are playfully teasing and toying with the Oni by running from it (represented by the signature dance) and saying "oni-san kochira" (this way Mr. Oni) and "te no naru ho e" (follow my clapping)."

[@SeanPat1001]

It seems to be a lot of misunderstanding about BABYMETAL. Here is a little background. About 10 years ago, the three girls were in a kind of specialty middle school called Sakura Gakuin. The two younger girls, Yui and Moa auditioned for the school because Sū, who was already a well-known performer, was there. SG was a school for young women who wanted to be performers. Sū was already an actor and the younger girls shared her enthusiasm. They are actors who sing and dance. When they perform they are not simply singing and dancing, but they are also acting out a story. For example, Gimmie Chocolate is part of a story in which the younger girls are corrupted by demons and eventually turned into wax figurines. The older girl outwitted the demons, rescued the other two and flew away in a heavy metal arc to a place of safety. The song is about the time they became fixated on chocolate, which was the first step in a sequence of temptations that led them to their doom. The song in this video is about three young girls that are playing a game of hide and seek with a demon. If any one of them lose that one will be carried off by the demon never to be seen again. Anyhow, about 12 years ago, one of their teachers asked them about heavy-metal and they said they knew nothing about it. So they were given a project of inventing heavy-metal from some very basic ideas. It was just supposed to be a class project, but somebody made a cell phone video of their presentation and within a year they had fans all over the world. Everything that BabyMetal does on stage flowed from that idea. The girls have written only one song, Song 4. The rest were written by others, the music was written by others. There is a lot of reference to an homage of heavy-metal Japanese music in BABYMETAL music. There’s also a lot of homage in reference to heavy-metal music from all over the world. However, the girls are the ones who develop the dances. They have a choreographer who certainly played a big role but most of the input came from the girls themselves. When Su-metal, the taller one with the big mic, performs she is acting in a role as she sings the song. As a result she conveys a lot of emotion through her voice and I feel that is one of her main qualities. She has been singing in this way since 2007. The two younger ones mainly express themselves through dance. These kids paid their duesThey have bee performing all over the world for over ten years. They went on their first world tour while the younger two were still in middle school! They have accomplished things that most people thought were impossible. They had the first Japanese-language hits in the US in decades. They’ve had a tremendous influence on the music industry. Right now because of the Covid situation they are not performing much. But they’re hoping to come back to the stage soon, because they are troupers.

[@actuallynotsteve]

No matter what you think about Babymetal overall, I feel like any music lover should just take a step back and look at this video and just describe what's happening in it. There's an entire arena of people rocking the fuck out, a giant custom stage setup that's fox and occult themed, a live band of some of the best session guys in the business, and some cute Japanese girls saying Hi and making people want to rip the chairs out of the building. It's so awesome I'm not even capable of explaining it with words.

[@Hy-jg8ow]

Metal is perfectly fine, it doesn't need to be "kept alive" by Babymetal, there are literally thousands of new and good bands playing metal of all kinds, metal is not supposed to get pop(ular).

[@Mr123HEAVYMETAL]

Could not have said that better. Being and 80 metal fan i fully agree

[@MaskedRiderChris]

Take it from the old school headbanger who discovered heavy metal back in 1983 and is likely old enough to be some people here's father; most metalheads hate, fear, and dread anything that brings something new and different to the table. Me, I'm easily bored and have always appreciated different kinds of music all my life, so I'm not surprised I appreciate Babymetal as much as I do. This is something fresh, new, and unique, and I love it for that reason. Yeah, yeah, I know, they're packaged, bla bla yadda yadda--I don't care. What band isn't, these days? Got news for some of you out there; one of the reasons that most bands sound alike these days in particular is the total lack of innovation and uniqueness forced upon them by the music biz, and that was one of the reasons I bailed on the music biz many, many years ago. Bands are made to play what sells records, like it or not, and I'm just glad that the Japanese music biz at least is open to trying new things AKA throwing things at the wall and working with whatever sticks. That's what makes it unique and interesting, to me. Faisal, I think you're right!

The smile on Mikio Fujioka's face at the beginning of this video is what made me keep watching this, my first exposure to Babymetal. I first saw this video in 2021, had never heard of them, and was totally blown away by this video-then the Biker Hello Kitty Girls show up, and I became a fan. Then I saw the Gimme Chocolate video. Sadly, I had no idea that Mikio Fujioka had already passed 4 years before I had first seen him, and 7 years (today) before I found out. RIP, sir.

Yup, I had a friend beg me to go and give a free ticket, and he had good taste in music, so I agreed. I went in expecting a meme band, and I walked out forever changed. There's no other band on Earth like Babymetal, it's a love letter to heavy rock that just gives zero fucks about whether it conforms to that genre's stereotype. Which to me is metal as fuck.

[@magycka1]

[@theshevanel]

You should dive into their older stuff. You'll find songs that blow this out of the water. 😏

[@SeanPat1001]

When you watching BABYMETAL on stage, you are seeing the people that created the dance. Also, the girls are actors who can sing and dance. So, when Su-Metal belts out those ballads, she’s usually not just singing a song. She’s playing a character. I think this is why one reason why BABYMETAL can sing songs and Japanese all over the world and people can respond. They’re not just singing words but conveying emotion to the audience. It’s simply amazing.

[@foxhunter9547]

It was their teacher when they were still in school. The 3 of them didn't know metal at that time and their teacher showed it to them and that's how a school project came about, someone filmed it and put their performance on the internet, which made a lot of people enthusiastic about it and now we're here

It's actually done on purpose, this song is based on a children's story 青鬼と赤鬼, or the story of the red and blue ogre.

They started this trend a decade ago, but there have been several other bands like this since. None of them have blown up like Babymetal though. The only other that has blown up in any significant way is Poppy, as her album "I Disagree" from a couple years ago is definitely inspired by baby metal, but it's different enough to have its own flavor entirely.

[@nascenticeman]

only babymetal can make a song about hide and seek and make it awesome

[@V3x0r]

This is probably their best song. It has everything. Solos, screaming background vocals, and the singers.

[@helio1055]

Narasaki from Coaltar of the Deepers actually wrote it, he’s a great songwriter

[@iosora2746]

​@@V3x0rtry listening rondo of nightmare in live version,

[@dawnfallon6812]

.....with a _Demon._ Hide and Seek with a Demon. An important distinction. My brother is a metalhead. I played this for him, and he had three distinct reactions. 1) DAMN THAT BASSIST! 2)WTF AM I LISTENING TOO? 3) Headbanging with a quizzical look on his face.

[@caylemmm]

Babymetal can make a song about anything and it will sound amazing. Chocolate, hide and seek, nightmares, vixens, and of course, *literally the number 4* (how do they make a song about the nunber 4 AND HAVE A REGGAE SECTION???)

[@Ppuffdiddleydangdoof]

Man, I never knew how much I needed music from a J-Pop, Death Metal band! Babymetal is my favorite band for today. Arigato Gozaimashita!

[@ObsidianDBrattaHouseNightwinge]

Babymetal is bringing back the joy of 80s metal. Awesome band !!

[@surveyor1995]

as an old school metal fan I can appreciate some good theater. reminds me of Alice Cooper, Marilyn Manson, White zombie etc.. the energy of this band makes me want to jump in that pit. Thank you ladies for keeping Metal alive.🤘

Well said

being old, and not even understanding a word they sing; this music makes me happy and young again. Love the theatrics. (been jumping around in my living room)

[@jimjab3631]

Saw them twice, incredible energy. May not be for the purest but I saw all generations brought together for their concerts, it was awesome to gather

[@V3x0r]

That shot of the pit at 4:40 looks insane!

[@colinwilhite8241]

Whoever is playing the pink guitar is my hero. Not for the guitar (though that's a huge bonus), but for how much he's INTO the music. Even when he's in the background, dude is throwing that hair!

He's amazing, and he's also a student of the other guy playing on this video (R.I.P.).

God I would love nothing more than to see them live. Every live performance video I see from them they just have the whole place fuckin' bumpin'

[@chronoswitch930]

Can confirm, they are INCREDIBLE live. If there's one group you need to see live once in your life, it's BabyMetal.

One of the greatest bands ever. Their breakdowns were crazy amazing and then when they join it all together, it became heaven tier. I wish more bands were like them.

[@lancetruong3075]

With all the crazy physical exertion during their live performance, their vocals never falter, unlike most of performers who had to lip sync on stage.

[@SeanPat1001]

Lady Gaga noticed that and was quite impressed. It said that she rehearses her songs while doing crunches in order to develop her lung power.

[@billyarnold4336]

Love the drums in this song!

[@rudolphransom]

I really like the energy of the band. In the intro the first guitarist is like: "Hey, check this out. Sounds good, right?" All I can say is: Yes! And in the finale, the band is lik: "Let's shred one more time!"

[@Babym_metali]

The vocals!!THEYRE AWESOME!and the way the audience lit up the second they came out was so awesome omg.

[@josechauca-insnsb4523]

Muchos critican, por que la banda no salió de un garaje, que es un producto comercial, etc etc... alguna vez se han puesto a pensar que Koba Metal (el productor) es un metalero de corazón que probablemente no tiene una buena voz, ni una excelente habilidad para tocar algún instrumento; pero si es un genio para crear y producir, se evidencia al juntar a varias personas talentosas Baby Metal (cantantes y músicos) y dar vida a sus ideas musicales.... eso lo hace menos metalero???? la barreras mentales son difíciles de derrumbar; eso les debe pasar a quienes se creen puristas.

[@obetcontreraschipule6063]

Yo antes pensaba así, hace muchísimos años cuando estaba entre la pubertad me salió lo de BABYMETAL y en mi cabeza era como que carajos era eso (sin siquiera escucharlas) se me hacia ridículo, hasta hace unos meses de repente me apareció la sugerencia de ésta canción pero en otro video y decidi verlo y me gustó jajaja hasta el momento mi canción favorita es The One la versión en vivo la parte final me hace sentir muy bien jaja

[@abrahamcam5300]

Lo que no sé, es si es metal con algo de kpop o kpop con algo de heavy.

[@나오미-u9m]

@@abrahamcam5300 creí que eran de origen japonés ._.

[@carlosemilianorojassanchez9378]

Jajajajaja totalmente cierto, es como desprestigiar a un cantante que no escriba sus propias canciones, o a un autor por no cantarlas el mismo, hay quienes si tienen ese nivel de habilidad pero también el conocer las fortalezas y debilidades de cada uno nos permite crear cosas más grandes en conjunto

I just found this band and I have too many good things to say about them. But this video specifically when each band member got their solo. I have neeeeeever seen or heard a bassist shred like that. I went 😧 and obviously their drummer will melt your face off 🤩

[@-apple-4848]

私にとっては、ベーシストのBOHさんは、最高です！ プログレッシヴな超絶技巧。 パワフルな音圧を併せ持つベース。 力強いフィンガーピッキングでギター顔負けのテクニカル・フレーズを放つ彼の奏法は、 いかなるベーシストでもなかなか真似できるものではありません。 カナダのバンド「RUSH」の、 天才マルチプレイヤーのGeddy Leeさんと同じぐらい、 私にとっては驚異的です！

[@tadlockje]

This is the video that anyone who has never seen BabyMetal should see for their first experience. Dueling guitars. Highly technical bass shredding. Speed metal drums. Just straight rocking, and then the girls march in............ "what the hell is happening?" It's definitely an experience, that's for sure.

I've seen them live multiple times, they put on an amazingly good show. Small stage or big stage with production. All on stage put in 110% which is part of why it's so energetic.
