Neon watches Sakura Gakuin 2011 Nendo Test (さくら学院 学年末テスト2011)

[@hikokazu3815]

ベビメタ→さくら学院→過去の動画を漁る これって世界共通なんですね(笑)

[@犬とエビ]

私はGW中の今、さ学のlogirlの動画を漁ってますw

[@shaunpierce4174]

This teacher doesn't get the credit he deserves. He played a huge part in the Babymetal girls' development, and for that we must thank him.

[@bullemule]

you are absolutely right ! ありがとう、森教授 ! :) OTFGK what would have been without him...

[@ClawCarver]

Su's mind operates on a higher plane than most mortals. Even at this stage, she was way beyond noodles.

[@KenjaTimu]

It was a decent answer if you don't know. You can't leave it blank. Power udon is made with more force.

[@ConsumptiveSoul]

Queen of metal is always on a higher plane

[@KenjaTimu]

@@ConsumptiveSoul - Like Justin Bieber going to give a speech on climate change. Always on a higher plane.

[@ConsumptiveSoul]

Scott Humphreys EW JB but I know what you mean

[@KenjaTimu]

@@ConsumptiveSoul - Apparently not. It was a Joke about the hypocracy of taking a private Jet to lecture people about climate change.

[@jjs2351]

There are many BM reactors, but few venture as far as you have ! The Nendo tests were for me the way to start to identify and learn about the SG members when I first started following them years ago. It's much more fun watching their live video performances when you know who everyone is and their personalities. As always, thank you for your reaction.

[@RoosterIB]

Agreed!

[@Davepd4444]

Yay new Nendo Test reaction video. Neon don't give up i know KZbin sometimes its pretty s.... and annoying for new KZbinrs /content creators/little channels etc becouse copyright strike etc, but so far you get through this And i'm happy with that. 🤘🦊🤘

[@NeonReaperReacts]

Yeh last 2 days haven't been great in terms of YT Copyright blocks and claims but i'll have better ones just gotta keep plugging away thanks for the support bro it keeps that fire burning inside me!

[@MacTaipan]

Despite the average score not being that high, I'm pretty impressed with what passes as common knowledge in Japan. I am a 46-year-old German, and I have no idea what Bach looks like. Yui (12 years old at the time?) on the other hand misspelled the name, but obviously recognized him. I find that pretty impressive. And (as far as I know) this is not knowledge that they are taught at Sakura Gakuin, so it's not like they knew beforehand what Mori sensei might ask them.

[@mboxtree]

ネオンさん、いい人だなぁ🎵

[@maxotaurus5140]

Just my opinion of course! Ayami is the most beautiful 💖! Yui the cutest! Moa the most energetic! Hana is the prettiest and best hair ever. Marina is the most gracious and probably 2nd or 3rd best singer.

[@baumi-metal9123]

There's nothin better than Su's face in total despair!

[@pfeiferdr6383]

また一人のメタルヘッドがさくらに呑まれた・・・

[@baumi-metal9123]

I recently noticed how you can spot the elementary school members- they wear the bow-tie while the "older" members wear neck-tie (is that correct in english?) Same strap but bound different. In Germany we call the way the young ones wear it "Fliege" = fly, cuz it looks like a (butter-)fly.

[@neqproa]

Ayami would be a good first investment in learning more about SG, just like I did. Before I did not care about this group until I was amazed on how the system works. Thank you for this. Ayami is now an individual artist she left Amuse a long time ago. She gonn be releasing a new album in March. P.S this is bot hahaha

[@bigbrutalbassbeer410]

Ayami is so wonderful! Naturally comedic, too. She was scolded by the SG staff after a live performance where she improvised her self introduction as “Muto Ayami- I’m so cute, I eat rainbows and produce marshmallows!” AT A SAKURA GAKUIN FESTIVAL SHOW! Talk about brilliant. And no, she never grew any taller since 7th grade!🤣

[@KenjaTimu]

Su got second place in the talent contest to win a spot in their talent agency. I assume that Ayami won first place? Hey, i stopped growing in 7th grade too and i'm male. I was 5'10 in 7th grade. I was always tall until i stopped growing super early :)

[@rickwagner-]

@Scott Humphreys Ayami signed with Amuse, Inc. in 2004. Suzuka joined Amuse in 2007.

[@RoosterIB]

Nene-don is my favorite. Marina is very funny too.

[@leightonsteven7059]

RoosterIB totally agree with you,her laugh makes me smile every time and it’s usually because of something Marina is saying

[@road-runner]

Great reaction!! Cannot wait for the next one! :)

[@autohmae]

25:45 Yui just being her cute self. :-)

[@nomusician4737]

Every time I see these old videos I get even more impressed of the quality of the subtitles on the newer stuff. I'm eternally grateful for those who've translated over the years. The last couple of years it almost seems like it is made of professionals. If any of those guys/girls are reading this, Thank you! And thank you to those who started all this off for us linguistically challenged!

[@sanketsu25]

Can't wait for the next 2012 nendo when Su become president, and it's was her last nendo in Sakura Gakuin

[@Zedem0n]

Haha Ayami didn't come last this time but as Sensei Mori pointed out, 2011 they added two new girls so she was actually last from the 10 original SG girls hahaha. Yui & Moa ranking above Su is hilarious though, not to mention Su forgetting Moa's name and Moa instantly going to tell her it doesn't matter she loves her aww

[@olaraa]

When I saw the bit where Moa and Ayami hug (bc gills lol) my mind flashed back to a recent video where Ayami says she and Moa are still pretty close and go to zoos and pet cafes together

[@onethreesixtwo1818]

I'll be honest......I'm here for the Babymetal and Sakura Gakuin. Thank you for doing these. Keep going down the foxhole my friend.

[@jeffschreifels8651]

Marina always cracks me up. If you slow her down to about 0.5 when she's flailing her hands around at 20:29 it's kind of like she's going B M C !!!!!!! :) Ayami is so dam pretty. Moa has that cute playful smile. Ayami's smile melts my heart. And she still looks exactly the same today.

[@NoDramatix]

Su makes me happy. I love how her mind works.

[@madridreal4685]

good react thanks

[@schneider1112]

I've added quite a few of Ayami's songs to my playlist on Tidal. I have plenty left to listen to and so far I like her latest album "glitter beat" from this year (2022), the song "again again" sounds very 80s. You have to search for her name in Japanese to find her, 武藤彩未 . I've learned Hiragana and Katakana, but it doesn't get me far when so much is written in Kanji... 約束のルビー is also a cool song.

[@smmmmmmo3072]

[@teuchterloon9130]

The best bit was Yui proving she's Best Metal, but Ayami's my favourite non-BM girl, so seeing her not come last was so good

[@NeonReaperReacts]

i did a wee jump with Ayami when she didn't come last lol!

[@48sunshine78]

こうしてメタル脳からドルオタ脳になっていくんですな！

[@RoosterIB]

Well into the Nendo classes with Sakura Gakuin, dude it's getting deep into the foxhole! Here is my favorite idol of all time! No it's not Su, Yui or Moa! It's Nene Sugisaki, or Nene-don to her friends. Welcome to the world of cuteness! I feel like I know all these girls and I have lots of favorites. Thank somebody for sub-titles! Nene's laugh is infectious!

[@bullemule]

nice to see another one go down the foxhole hehe ! aaand you got a new subscriber ! :)

[@ConsumptiveSoul]

Yea Su doesn’t look different when she was younger Moa kinda but not same with Yui

[@KenjaTimu]

Moa and Yui both look different depending on their hair and clothes. Especially Moa. Su always looks like Su and rarely changes her hair style.

[@ConsumptiveSoul]

Scott Humphreys that is true

[@WardHouse]

I also love Ayami. Here's the link to a documentary of her in the years right after Sakura Gakuin: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIfPmKaEg76tpsU&lc=UgwL8xg2Qgem6oNKIXl4AaABAg Enjoy!!!

[@jjs2351]

Thanks for this link ! I had never seen this before. Although Ayami's music is often not exactly my taste, it is always very sincere, and you can't help but like her and hope for her success.

[@WardHouse]

​@@jjs2351 There is another, very hilarious documentary about her called "Muto Ayami - A Day in I-POP [Anniversary Edition Bonus Video]". It has no subtitles, but Ayami's gorgeous laughter speaks for itself...

[@cadiazm]

Ayami Muto is the oldest member, and one of the shortest, the other two girls in the same grade are the tallest Ayaka and Airi. Ayami was with Su in Karen Girls, you have reacted to them before. Also, I think you have reacted to Mini Pati, formed by YuiMoa and same age/grade Hana Taguci, who is a transfer in on this video. She was working until recently in a cafe theatre in Tokyo, and many BM/SG fans had gone there over the years to see her. I met her and talked to her in 2017 :)

[@rickwagner-]

@Carlos D. Yui, Moa and Hana were in the second generation of Mini-Pati. The original group (which existed before Sakura Gakuin started) were Raura Iida, Marina Horiuchi and Nene Sugisaki, all seen in this 2011 Nendo Test video. The group was brought back with Raura, Marina and Nene as a Sakura Gakuin sub-unit. I think Yui, Moa and Hana are great, but I don't see why so many people want to skip over the first generation of Mini-Pati.

[@cadiazm]

Rick Wagner I just was introducing Ayami and Hana, who have already been in reactions to Karen Girls and Mini Pati. I'm not skipping the first gen MiniPati, just thought it was a bit too much info. Perhaps you can share a video of them performing so he can react?

[@rickwagner-]

@Carlos D. I don't think Neon goes back and reads old comments, but I'll suggest one in the future. It sounds like he's going to have a look at Ayami first.

[@MacTaipan]

Moa's smile is like the sun rising, it's full of sincere happiness. All of the girls are very cute. Apart from the obvious two, I really like Hana, although there wasn't much to see of her here. Some fans will hate me for this, but I can't really warm up to Marina Horiuchi. She seems so weird to me that I don't know what to make of her.

[@KenjaTimu]

The teacher is pretty funny. He's really good in these. Does anybody know what that comment about the teacher being in tune with his wife was? Is that an expression or are they referring to something?

[@neqproa]

It's like an inside joke to them that Mori-sensei loves his wife so much. Well, he really is a family man.

[@elementofharmony458]

Yeah, this is big brain time. :D Ayami is definitely worth following. Beautiful, kind, humble, classy and absolute professional in all that she does. She plays an important role in forming the Su-Metal we now know. Being a role model for her, Suzuka could take the lead of Sakura Gakuin in a serious, professional way. You may want to react to Ayami's a cappella version of "Friends" from her Instalive: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6DLl4Ftj72AY9U

Ayami did a live stream a couple months ago where she talked a little bit about Babymetal and how she and Moa still get together from time to time. Here's the clip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2iTpqeradx6i7s EDIT: Turn on CC for English subs.

I think Ayami Muto would have been a great replacement for Yui

[@scottmeyers1903]

Mad Yui love right now❤

[@leightonsteven7059]

Like most of us Neon has checked out sk wanting to know more about the Babymetal members ,and already like those before you, have discovered that most of the other class members are far more interesting. For Neon it is the charm and charisma of Ayami,whereas for me it was the beauty and elegance of Ayaka ,but he will soon also be drawn to the comedy duo of Nene and Marina and enter the amazing imaginative world that Marina seems to live in

[@fernandopsn6558]

muito legal, mas quem traduziu o video poderia ter legendado mais..👍🏻
