Moa Kikuchi (菊地最愛) and Yui Mizuno (水野由結) Growing Up Tribute (BABYMETAL Origin REACTION)

[@glenkelley6799]

This is like taking down the old family album and turning the pages that brings back all the wonderful memories, watching these two talented girls grow up together. Thanks for posting this.

[@outwest1014]

I'm happy and sad watching this, they wrote 1 song together that they performed as Black Babymetal and I was hoping for more. The sadist and most concerning thing is the absence of Yui. While I do not want to speculate, after this much time her health issues must be be serious and I am very sad for her and her family. Here is wishing only the best for Yui in the future.

[@Codametal]

That last image was perfectly arranged as in their faces, you can see the pure joy, happiness, and love the two had for each other. Even though it was for their music video, it captured a moment that is forever ingrained in our hearts.

Not crying honest 😢the clip in a field of Yui reading something in what looked like classroom outside . Was from the video of friends . They had been on a vist to what looked like a farm . The teacher took them to the field where they had to read what they had wrote about there best friend . Yui's was how Moa and herself would achive evèything they wanted together . Even more heartbreaking is the just as they where achieving so much Yui became ill/ injury problem causing her to leave BabyMetal 😭

[@scottianson384]

Oh no! You've found the video that makes us all cry.

[@MikeDPlxztc]

YUIIIIIIII come back! 🙏🤘

[@よしひこ松浦]

うわーこの動画、見つけちゃったんだ～ これは自分の中で一番の動画です❗

[@ervingranlund3744]

[@tereko8641]

😭Luniversed is cutting onions ...

[@LouieGrandie]

If you liked this then you need to watch the vid of the girls sight seeing in Singapore with the most famous Yui and Moa scene of all. Moa rubbing Yui's cheeks.

[@ndox9009]

MoiMoi is the one and only best Duo from Sakura Gakuin ever. when shy girl meet with very active girl added to a girl that have a little bit of both then we got BABYMETAL.

[@rickwagner-]

💀 💕 / 🌟🌟 You may hear people refer to Yui and Moa as "MoiMoi". It's from the Finnish for "Hello/Good-bye". Yui was asked to guess what that expression meant on the program LoGiRL (#6), and her answer (that Moa enthusiastically agreed with), was that it was a combination of Yui and Moa. Here are a couple of acapella songs from each of them when they were in Sakura Gakuin. Yui - True Colors: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXebpHxmipmqn7M Moa - Miraie: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIPQm59qqK15a5o

[@tattergreis4511]

Moa created this word "MoiMoi" very early. She is known for her word games. Use the Kanji for Mo from Moa and the Kanji for i from Yui and you'll see what MoiMoi means. Lovely Picture/Beloved Image (but also "crazy image").

[@kztk7869]

由ありて,さくら学院で出会いBMメンバーとして結ばれて最も愛されるコンビだったなんてw

[@denabach]

These girls are going to have a great collection of photos and videos to remember their life as BABYMETAL ! Future memories of a beautiful friendship and love of music.

[@bonhzeppelin9882]

The reality is Moa and Yui's relationship throughout their sakura gakuin years, in addition to Babymetal, has been a rivalry. It doesn't involve bad blood or sabotage but it was a continous competiton between the two. I found a translated excerpt of an interview with Yui Mizuno for the April 2, 2015 issue of Gravure Magazine, japan... **"You and your close friend Moa-chan (Kikuchi Moa) are always together at Sakura Gakuin and Babymetal. Is there any sense of rivalry between the two of you? Yui: "Speaking honestly I think there is that in both of us. How to say it? I think Moa and Yui`s friendship is exactly as the lyrics `Friends` - Sakura Gakuin song - communicates". Well then the readers will just have to go back and really read and comprehend the lyrics of `Friends` (Yui Laughs.): kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHixZGmtipWSgc0 Yui: "Yes, I would be so happy to have everyone listen to it a lot."** Link to interview: babymetalnewswire.jimdofree.com/2015/05/15/2015-04-02-yui-mizuno-interviewed-on-gravure-magazine-vol-39/

[@johnschultz7765]

And Ayami also said that Friends lyrics describe her friendship with Suzuka.

[@rickwagner-]

The two of us have the faces of rivals and close friends So the piled hands are shining stars, for sure Baby girl The valuable things; Those are always “friends” It’s like you can even talk to me Thank you Thank you! Oh, my friend I love you Thank you! Oh, my friend - Friends (Sakura Gakuin 2011)

[@sanketsu25]

One of the best SG song for me...

[@上海誠-g1s]

Thank you !! The music sung by ONE OK ROCK. One of the most popular rock band in Japan. You'll check it if you like. ONE OK ROCK - Be The Light Their snapshot with BABYMETAL. www.pinterest.jp/pin/851884085737767468/ 親戚の人みたいな視線でニヤけるなぁー完全沼化してるw

[@ervingranlund3744]

here is a link you might enjoy it is probably too long for a reaction video but i think you will find it entertaining. It's a 2012 documentary on there first visit to Singapore for there concert . www.dailymotion.com/video/x4ambis At 8:31 and 8:45 it breaks your heart to see Moa so nervous she's about to cry.

[@johnschultz7765]

There are a several of these out there that bring the feels. So many of the stills and short scenes are part of some longer video it amplifies the impact. Don't think they were ever so cute together as during the Flet's Angels commercials filming, only briefly seen here. Everyone probably has a different favorite. Their friendship is a beautiful thing. And along with Su-chan I always feel happy for and proud of my adopted Japanese grand-nieces. So many of the fans have taken to heart the Fukei tradition of Sakura Gakuin whether they know it or not.

[@jotegg1276]

Moa's speech at Sui's graduation need to have tissues on hand...

[@RODRIEUROMANIAKO]

YUI

[@SaoBelle]

FYI, the background song by One OK Rock is about the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan.

[@smmmmmmo3072]

My heart with feel sentimental when I see these tribute videos of Yui and Moa. But I'm sure their bonds will never disappear.

[@hero-pjapan5514]

verry emotional 、、、super cute good choice!

[@jamesohara4295]

It was on that field trip that Yui and Moa wrote "Song 4" (4の歌 Yon no Uta)

[@hero-pjapan5514]

i have never seen Guy like you to understand Babymetal deeply

[@huck944]

G'day.Don't forget Angel of Salvation live by Galneryus the Japanese power metal band. 🤘🇦🇺

[@itstillbyme]

moimoi,..!!!!!

[@0okamino]

If everyone had another Moi to go with their own Moi, I think we would be living in a much happier world.

[@itstillbyme]

that's 100% true. we all need someone like MoiMoi in life,..

[@SODA_MRA]

this video contains red onions,, which can make your eyes water

[@DeePal072]

Here is a comp of Doki Doki Morning, which is amazing cause it goes from the very beginning of BABYMETAL (it's their first offical song) up to what's arguably their most successful show so far, their 2016 Tokyo Dome Nights kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnzSgGt6lMeCgKc the guy who made it deserve all the kudos for this amazing clip.

[@MacTaipan]

I'm a bit torn about these videos. Of course it's great to see the two together and we all miss Yui, but on the other hand I'm not sure if it's necessary or appropriate to make a sad video about their friendship. For all we know they are both alive and very probably still friends, so it does seem a bit odd to me. If anything, some happy music in the background might have been a better fit. Not saying that I don't like it or that it doesn't have an effect on me, but still...

[@MrFloppyHare]

That video was published in 2016, so it's not meant as a sad video about the fact that they're not together anymore. ;-)

[@MacTaipan]

@@MrFloppyHare Oh, right. Doesn't make it less strange to fit it with sad music, though.

[@JGM0JGM]

@@MacTaipan Maybe the intent was not "sadness", but "emotional"... I think that the fact that some people now cry (or feel some sort of sadness) when watching it has got more to do with what happened AFTER the video was put together then with the images or the music...

[@kitsune-lb2ft]

If you loved this heart-rending video of Yui and Moa, you may also enjoy this video. Similar vibes, similiar feel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5K0fqRriNt6npY

[@ernestrimbeck7630]

You blocking Moa so all we see is Yui, that's what brought out the feels

[@gedejeko]

best duo. but for me, sumoa friendship is stronger than moimoi.

[@JGM0JGM]

I agree. I think it's because Su-chan and Moa-chan both really enjoy being together AND enjoy what they are doing, i.e. they love performing metal music and making fans happy. I think Yui-chan really enjoyed being with the other two, but the metal part was not so strong in her, so even without a health problem, I think she would have quit at some point anyway. Just my 2 cents... Kitsune up, Po!

[@sanketsu25]

And Moa was the person who never feels jealous to such a talented person like Su... that's why I think she's the only person who can stay by Su's side...

[@sanketsu25]

And thats why i love Moa so much...
