LadyBaby - Nippon Manju (REACTION) Japanese Kawaii Metal Electronicore| What Did I Just Watch???

[@ramair3judge]

Ladybaby has a storied history starting with this video. It was put together as promotional video for tourism to Japan. The three main members are Rie with lighter brown hair. She carried the Labybaby group name through their recent hiatus. Rei with the black hair left the group after a couple of transitions and went back to join her sister again in a band called Brats. Brats is still active and just released a new album called "Karma". They are a legit alternative punk rock group. Ladybeard as he is known is a crossdressing professional wrestler from Australia. He was sort of forced out of Ladybaby after having some VISA issue to work in Japan. He went on to form another group called Deadlift Lolita based in Japan. Ladybaby continued on w/o Ladybeard as The Idols formally known as Ladybaby (Rie and Rei) Shortly after this transition Rei left. Rie brought on three new members, all female and continued as an Idol fronted metal group. They were pretty good and getting better. Then suddenly they decided to disband

"What did I just watch?" Pure serotonin, my friend.

[@PositiveCrunch]

😂😂😂😂 Indeed

[@peepinR]

Only in Japan. I love Japan.

[@PositiveCrunch]

So true. Fascinating culture

[@watcher2554]

Keep in mind they hit 1million views in less than 24hrs!! LoL!!! Credited as the first group to follow in the Babymetal style of "Kawaii Metal" Ladybaby had limited success before Ladybeard left in 2016 due to Visa Issues but the two girls continued for another year before Rei left to join her sister in their band "Brats". Rie then reformed the group in January 2018 with 3 new girls and they had a bit better success, selling a greater number of records and many more show dates. The group officially ceased activities following their last live performance on January 13, 2020. They also released a final song/MV on the same day with an ending trailer thanking all of their fans for their support over the years. Check out their final song "Misogi Island"! kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6TOq2OprrGAbck Warning: It not Kawaii Metal but rather Alt-Idol

I live for bands like this, I really do...a couple of years late to this one, but better late than never.I have heard of this band from a few years back, and yes, this is for real... as always.. love from Amsterdam.

[@davidhenriksson285]

Welcome to Japan!

[@PositiveCrunch]

😂 Thanks

[@hoodwinkiez]

I still love Ladybaby. With and without Ladybeard. Rest In Power, Ladybaby! Favorite song would be "Pinky! Pinky!" and there is a music video for it.

[@JaneSmith-rx6kx]

Kawaii is a fashion Style ,they wear Lots of crazy pastel colors ,and are like dolls lots of times. I prefer happy black myself. this Clip is crazy,but I like it.will Check out more stuff from them.

[@PositiveCrunch]

Thank you Jane

[@Jordan-Ramses]

it's more than a fashion style. it's a colorful and cute rebellion from the brutal reality of Japanese culture. i'd recommend checking out Babymetal instead. BABYMETAL is who they're imitating. LADYBABY -> BABYMETAL. But don't worry Babymetal doesn't have any crossdressers. It's simply cute girls doing heavy metal with pop vocals and choreographed dancing.

[@PositiveCrunch]

@@Jordan-Ramses We know Baby Metal. Check out our Reactions

[@bucketschmerz]

I had a same reaction when i was watching this first time. wh... what tha... is th... oh shiiii🤣🤣🤣

[@PositiveCrunch]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@davidsy28]

Hahahahahhahahahaha I love this song, great reaction. There's a band that I would like to recommend to you, Maximum The Hormone, a really good and quite popular japanese band, to start with I suggest "A.L.I.E.N" and "Yoshu Fukushu". Please react to those songs, greetings from Colombia

[@bazkeen]

I won't be able to sleep tonight🤣🤣🤣🤣 Something a little unsettling there🤣🤣🤣 The same reaction as mine (Devin Townsend) Subliminal messages

[@PositiveCrunch]

Lol

[@Jordan-Ramses]

It's not meant to be serious. It was literally a commercial. Read the lyrics. It's all about come here and buy stuff. It turned into a band but it wasn't a band when they made this song. This was their first.

[@SandraNelson063]

I give the guy points for going ALL in! He was so committed! And because HE wasn't weird about it, ( it's the band uniform for Heavens sakes!) I don't feel weird about it. I live in Toronto. VERY "eclectic " people. I have seen stuff on public sidewalks and streets here, in broad daylight, that would have a North Carolina reactor keel over from shock. I just don't flinch any more. I have strolled by a bunch of anti pollution protesters who were TOTALLY naked, riding bicycles. I recall expressing concern that they would get sunburned because it was such a blazing bright day. I was reassured by the leader that they had all taken the time to thoroughly apply sunscreen. So off I went , no worries. Hey, it's Toronto! A group of NAKED bicycle riding folks on a sunny summer afternoon calmly going about their business is nothing to get ruffled over. So a Japanese band with a guy wearing little girl clothes and pig tails is not going to tilt my world view. It's fine.

[@PositiveCrunch]

I get that. I certainly agree he was committed. It was the whole buble gum death metal combo and lyrics that left me speechless.

[@glenkelley6799]

Great reaction and very typical of anyone first seeing them. This is basically a promotional video to visit Japan and buy stuff. This group was put together by a costume/paper company to promote Japan. The guy is a pro wrestler from Australia (called Ladybeard). This group is no longer together, but the two girls have moved on to other groups (Brats is one).

[@PositiveCrunch]

Ok. Thank you. That makes sense now. Lol

Cameras, subways, bathrooms, hero, Cars, cells, LED lyricstranslate.com/en/nippon-manju-japanese-manju.html Whats hilarious is when she sings "And you’ll gain popularity, money and underlying power" she winks at the camera in the obvious understanding that the whole thing is one elaborate joke. It's really subversive performance art where they are espiousign rampant consumerism whilst also sending it up. I'd recommend "Deadlift Lolita" to anyone because not only does it have Ladybeard but it has Japanese Joshi wrestler Reika Sakai in it - 100% more wrestlers in the band than Ladybaby cant be bad right ... right?
