_Maada da yo!_ 🦊🤘👠 Heavy metal: You know there's a Beast. Doom metal: You preach about the Beast. Black metal: You obey the Beast. Death metal: You ARE the Beast. Power metal: You fight the Beast. Viking metal: You fight the Beast for Odin. Thrash metal: You're going to fucking kill the Beast. Metalcore/Nu metal: You crab with the Beast.🦀 Glam metal: You're too drunk to care about the Beast. Kawaii metal: You play hide and seek with the Beast.👹🤘🔥

[@Ganimal83]

🤣 I laugh everytime I see you post this hahaaha!

[@Filboid2000]

Gentlemen, it is kawaii metal, and kawaii metal is fun metal; the kind of metal that makes you bang your head with a shit-eating grin on your face! IMO, this is BABYMETAL at their best. 🤘🦊🤘

[@jakemuller8626]

3:51 Reaction start Happy birthday to SuMetal our forever queen!🥳🎉🎁🎂🎊❤️ You can come back and share some of her solo songs and covers to honor her birthday. Thanks anyway for sharing this.🦊🤘👠

[@DaddySenpai35]

Man I swear that drummer is bionic those constant double kicks is just super human 😮😮

[@dingjk5630]

Su-metal's facial expression in the thumbnail is too kawaii. Happy birthday Su-metal 🎂

[@seregamolodets5286]

🍅💀🍅 🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼 Heaviest Hide and Seek ever. Oni had no chance

[@phillipblacklock2615]

I'm surprised that people dont talk more about the girl's choreography which I think is outstanding.Always in sync including when the two "screamers" run back onto stage and immediately fall into step. I haven't seen the "running" step they do anywhere else and it fits the song so well and makes the girl's look so cute. Their "Indian" gestures and hand movements on numbers such as "Metali" and "Shanti shanti shanti" are so graceful and well practised. Lastly Su metal's ability to sing and dance equally well and take over one of the "screamers" parts in "Headbanger" so effortlessly impresses me endlessly. What a talented group of youg women !

[@Grington300]

Happy birthday Su-metal.🥳👑🎂 Great reaction - and yes, they released their first album at the end of February 2014 - it was a collection of the singles they had released as a sub-unit of Sakura Gakuin and new songs written for the album. The Budokan Red Night and Black Night concerts were held on 1st and 2nd March 2014 as a big part of that first album release, so everything they did at Budokan in 2014 (apart from 'Kimi To Anime Ga Mitai') was from the first album and the songs they had not yet played made their debuts. All BABYMETAL songs are different - they were not "still finding their sound", they had already established they will do whatever they want - and this is just another example with the contrast between the brutal instrumentals and the sweet vocals being emphasised maybe a bit more than in other songs. All growls and harsh vocals etc are on backing track as they always have been. Not sure how you weren't hearing Yui and Moa being more involved in the vocals than in many of their songs before Su joined in - its not like this was entirely instrumental (after the Kami Band's intro) and you even had the lyrics to read. This song is about the story and the performance, you have heard many others that emphasise and highlight Su-metal's vocal talents. Budokan 2014 were the first concerts where the Kami Band played the whole show and where they were finally established as the full time support for all live shows. In this one they were Takayoshi Ohmura and Leda Cygnus (guitars), BOH (bass) and Hideki Aoyama (drums). 'Catch Me If You Can' is the best metal song about playing a game that's a sort of cross between tag, blind man's bluff and hide & seek. It is the perfect mix of the two extremes with the brutal instrumentals and the sweet vocals - and the game they are playing, they're playing with an Oni 👹(a sort of Japanese ogre popular in regional festivals and used specifically to frighten children ... which amuses me probably more than it should😁). The growling vocals (they are on a backing track as usual of course) are the Oni👹 asking things like "Are you ready?" and the best response has to be "Maada da yo" (No, not yet) while doing a running away from an Oni dance.🏃‍♀🏃‍♀🏃‍♀👹

"All BABYMETAL songs are different - they were not "still finding their sound", they had already established they will do whatever they want - and this is just another example with the contrast between the brutal instrumentals and the sweet vocals being emphasised maybe a bit more than in other songs." Definitely agree. This song came out after 'Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!'.

[@kitkat6407]

ありがとうございます。誕生日おめでとうございますSU-METAL。あなたは光です。

[@tttrip]

The guitar on LEDA (on the left) is neither a Gibson nor a Fender. This is the EDWARDS version of E-UT-100SL produced by ESP🎸

[@Ianmundo]

I don’t care at all that there’s a backing track for the vocals of the demon Oni 👹 it’s such a simultaneously hard and fun track

[@ekkanofiqandriyana7325]

*YUI* team ❤❤❤ *FOREVER*

[@johndreessen7335]

Good reaction. Always love some Babymetal. Big fan. Did see them live a couple of weeks ago. Great show with old and new songs. Lots of interaction with the audience. Thanks for this reaction.

[@road-runner]

Nice one, thanks! Heaviest song about playing hide and seek... Yes, "Catch me if you can" is about playing hide and seek or tag... BUT... with an "oni", a sort of Japanese ogre. This was my very first BABYMETAL song, so it's very special to me. I'm glad you enjoyed it. And yes, this is definitely one of their heavier side musically but it also has one of their cutest choreos (and vocals), including my personal favorite move: the infamous "Moa slide" hehe... More suggestions? No problem! Something older: "Uki uki midnight". Something newer: "MAYA". Something in between: "Amore". Until next time! 🤘🦊

[@poohbear4702]

I think "dichotomy of vibes" would make a good title for an overly academic analysis book on Babymetal.

[@ThePiquet888]

Such a silly song.. but so fun!! The band rox!! Miss Yui sooo much!!!

[@suliwa670]

Happy birthday Su-san! ❤❤❤

[@TheFoxholeYoutube]

12:57 How you know they love it

[@jonabitstream]

If you haven't already, your Irishness might enjoy their song Oh Majinah with Saboton.

[@ShikataGaNai100]

The 2-night sell-out crowd Budokan Red and Black concerts. Yui fell off the stage and got back up before the next song...Moa also got injured and was crying. People do not realize just how physically demanding dancing is.

[@astrafaan]

I really like this performance - & I'd never noticed before the nervous left/right glance Yui gives in the choreo near the end - super cute :D

[@ferrybellamy73]

They're usually using ESP guitars

[@rickwagner-]

Yep. And the Eastern Kami Band members have quite a few signature models.

[@Popskull-yl9gn]

From what i can see yall haven't done BxMxC. That is POWER personified. 😊

[@whorolledthis1567]

this song always reminds me of "Sic" by slipknot

[@radioraffa]

The 2nd guitarist was Leda Cygnus. During this time he was using 6 string ESPs usually. Around 2016 he became Stranberg endorsed and with his own models (Leda Signature Boden in 7 and also 8 strings) You'll see him using them in later videos. He hasn't played with Babymetal since early 2020. Bassist BOH has his own signature bass ATELIER Z/Boh's Custom 6 that comes in a few colors. 1st guitarist Takayoshi Ohmura has multiple signature models from ESP, such as : Twinkle Pink 6&7, Pink Monster 7, Honey Gold, M-Seven Golden Moon, and some come in Edwards & Grassroots versions. Even with all those models, since 2018, you'll see him often play the late Mikio Fujioka's ESP Burgundy Mist Snapper 7 and 6 string model also.

[@TreadheadA1]

Great stuff, guys! Definitely a head bopper! The mix between super heavy instrumentals and pop vocals is crazy good with cool choreo to top it off. Love it! Kitsune Up!

[@rickwagner-]

⚡ 💀 💕 / 🏃‍♀👹 'Catch Me If You Can' was included on their third single, 'Ijime, Dame, Zettai' (released January 9th, 2013). The music is by NARASAKI (Nobuki Narasaki), with an arrangement by NARAMETAL (also Nobuki Narasaki), and lyrics by EDOMETAL (Shion Hirota). Nobuki Narasaki was also responsible for the music and arrangement of 'Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!'. The creepy footsteps in the 'Catch Me If You Can' intro really scared Yui when she heard it in the studio. Naturally Su and Moa insisted on playing it over and over again. : )

[@icarushedoban3536]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3bWdK2JeLaShdEsi=gvwPCV7gx4SNemmJ Since you've already reacted to Tale's Of The Destinies you need to react to The One which is the companion piece to that song. It was written for and about the fans and sung in english as a thank you to the them for learning to sing their songs in Japanese at their shows. What makes this performance even more poignant is that these series' of Fox Festivals would turn out to be the last time Yui performed with BM.🍅🦊🤘

[@Hymnodic]

I added links to a lot of BM videos on your latest Community post. I highly recommend using them for any further suggestions of said songs.

[@traylor2502]

Maybe you can post the exact title of the video in the comments? It usually works for me.

[@TexasVeteranPatriot]

The chorus always reminded me of old late 70s surf punk (and maybe a bit Green Day-ish).

[@fernandoloya6325]

Happy 26th Birthday Su❤🎉❤🎉Guys check out Bring Me THe Horizon -Kingslayer featuring Babymetal live in Tokyo-New 11/23

[@kanakayounoob]

happy b'day su metal 🎉😊

[@marcoskazu_]

This is the original Babymetal! Creative, brilliant, innovative!

[@MartailNixon-rk4gh]

Love Babymetal by my friend girl

[@Greg-om2hb]

They unfortunately translate “oni-san” (Mr. Demon) as “tagger.” This song, like MEGITSUNE, is about traditional Japanese culture. In this case, a game in which children run and hide from an adult dressed as a demon. The music captures that feeling of running, concealing yourself, then darting to your next hiding place, all the while taunting Ono-san with shouts of “MADA DA YO” (“not yet”).

[@tonygriffin_]

The best Metal song ever about playing Hide and Seek. 🦊🤘🤘🦊スー王妃お誕生日おめでとう！🦊🤘🤘🦊

[@birdbranch]

BM is BM. You can go wrong. I just love SU :s expression. Love Moa And Yui interactions. Happy Birthday SU-metal. Love from Sweden ❤

[@enricomusante6173]

Yes, this is one of their first songs, and it is part of their first album, together with Gimme Chocolate, Headbanger, Megitsune, Doki Doki Morning, Iine, and more.

[@thenormalman3409]

Listening to metal music with a smile and full of spirit is only available at babymetal 🤘

[@sundevilkevin]

To play Budokan, you have to be invited.

[@kevinhayes3184]

The girls playing hide and seek with a demon

[@josephcrowe2908]

Its feel good music.

[@Timsturbs]

9:20 amen break kicks in

[@traylor2502]

That's not just "a" break beat on the drums, it's The Amen Break, and it's not the only song where they are using it.

[@ShikataGaNai100]

Yes, the song that made the Moa Slide famous. The song is about ogres and the Namahage rituals... It is fascinating.

[@christopherjq7414]

Something that gets overlooked in the performance of this song is the crab walk Moa does as she moves over behind Su. You can see it more clearly in a 2016 France Download Festival video

[@rexeros8825]

I feel the punk rock atmosphere in this song. in the second half. Both the rhythm and melody of the vocals are somewhat reminiscent of punk rock

[@TheFoxholeYoutube]

6:26 this is why I love you guys. You're able to express, from personal experience, how amazing these people are

[@mikepowers9486]

To me, this song is another perfect blend of cute/badass 🤘🦊🤘

[@syorks9398]

I went through your babymetal playlist and didn’t notice these songs you should definitely checkout from them: “Night Night Burn”, “Pa Pa Ya”, “BxMxC”, “Distortion”, and “Kagerou”. Those are all from their third album Metal Galaxy and they are all awesome.

[@vfxfilm]

So yes, still in the adorable stage here. Now for a good whiplash effect dig up 2023 PIA Arena for the latest version of the big show. Metal Kingdom Clear Night is my favorite so far with Momo Metal totally dialed into character and Moa just a grownup knockout. Su is commanding.

[@reconbbs360]

I'd love to have them bring this song back for a few live performances since they're a trio again.

[@user-pu3jw8rs6z]

🤘🦊🤘 武道館で初めてライブを行ったのはザ・ビートルズでした。 以後、日本人歌手が目指す場所のひとつとなりました。

[@rodneysmith4601]

this is from dvd and i think this is the second show with a live band

[@Ganimal83]

Awesome reaction guys! You're right, this song is from their first album. Also, really nice you guys did the version with lyrics. While not necessary to enjoy Babymetal, it definitely enhances the experience tremendously! Catch Me If You Can is about a traditional Japanese game of hide and seek / tag, where adults in the town dress up as Oni (ogres) and go after "naughty" children so they behave better next year haha. Also, +1 vote from me for Offset Era at Budokan. I would love to see a Sam vs. Boh bass-off! LOL 👌🔥 More suggestions, as there is never enough Babymetal 🤣: ** I didn't see reactions to any of the below on your channel, but I apologize if any repeats. 1). Amore: Su-metal solo, originally meant as a "pair" with Akatsuki. Live at Wembley 2016 is the best version, but almost guaranteed to be KZbin-unsafe. May need to do a compilation, unfortunately. 2). Ijime, Dame, Zettai (Live, Sonisphere UK 2014): Can't believe y'all haven't reacted to this one yet! One of their earlier songs, but an epic power metal anthem about anti-bullying. This is an iconic performance where Babymetal wins over a large portion of the 55K confused UK metalheads who have never heard of them before. Fun fact, there is also an alternate version "Nemesis Version", where Arch Enemy's guitarist Michael Amott did the guitars instead. 3). Onedari Daisakusen: (Live, Legend 1997): Su takes a break backstage, and Yui and Moa (Black Babymetal) show us how 2 spoiled little devils work their charms to get Dad to spend money and buy them all the shiny things lol. Limp Bizkit, but cute and adorable...never thought that would ever be in a sentence. 4). Song 4 (Live, Budokan 2014): You guys read comments for this in this reaction. This is another Black Babymetal song (no Su). Yui and Moa wrote the lyrics to this song themselves on a challenge by Su. Lyrics may not make sense to Westerners, but it is a very smart and fun "poke" to dispell the superstition of 4 (One way to pronounce 4 is "Shi" same as death "Shi", hence the superstition). 5). Oh! MAJINAI (Live): Joakim of Sabaton + Babymetal. Get your mugs out, matey, it's a pirate-y drinking song, yaaargh! 6). The ONE (Official, Live): Song written for the fans (the ONE). Epic performance, an epic song. It actually is "Part 2" of Tales of the Destinies, just a more melodic version. 7). Awadama Fever (Live): Cynics called Babymetal "bubble gum pop", Babymetal makes a poppy but heavy AF industrial metal song about bubble gum as a cute "F.U." 🤣 8). BxMxC (Legend Metal Galaxy - Live Debut, or Budokan 2021): If you thought the rap section in iine! was cute, then this is the opposite. Su really drops some bars in this song. 9). Night Night Burn! (Live, Legend Metal Galaxy): Latin flamenco/salsa metal? Whatever it is, everybody will be dancin'. 10). Kagerou (Live, Legend Metal Galaxy): Kami West intro + an awesome song. Rock on dudes! 🤘🦊

[@tonys2683]

12:42 best part of the clip, Yui dancing is just fire 🔥❤

[@raymanscape]

Yeah, that one is a great shot!

[@mysticvirgo9318]

The shuffkling beat of the drums, sounded quiet a bit like the shuffling used in The power puff girls theme

[@AldoGuerraALDO-METAL]

Catch Me If You Can (CMIYC) was the B side to the Ijime Dame Zettai standard single release. Ijime De Zettai was their first major single (third overall) release.

[@autohmae]

Thanks for this reaction. This is a very popular song among fans, it's so much fun. Very upbeat Babymetal is always a big hit. You are right it was from the first album, one of their early songs from the first album as well. Little fact: Yuimetal was scared about the sound at the beginning 3:52 when she was in the studio, so the other girls teased her with that by replaying it often. PS Happy Su-metal b-day !!

[@rexeros8825]

i suggest u check out Fox Festival 2017 version of this song. Better Kami intro. Heavier sound. My favourite version is from 2017. (and maybe its last time performed this song)

[@IAMisLove]

🎉Happy Birthday Su-Metal. Great performance and reaction. 🦊 🖖❤

[@BagoPorkRinds]

This is Budokan: Red Night Apocalypse. Black Night was on the following night with a different set list. Later in this performance, Yui fell off the stage during 'Headbanger' and went missing for half the song. The drop was 5-6 ft high. Su kept looking toward her right to find Yui. The crowd were yelling Yui's name after the song because they noticed and were concerned but were relieved when they saw her for the next and closing song 'Ijime, Dame, Zetta'. In that song Moa fell during the run-up at the beginning. Both were injured and in pain. Fortunately these were the 2 last songs. At the end it looks like Moa had a slight limp with her left leg as they walked around the stage waving to the audience. They went on to perform Black Night the next night. Both Yui and Moa looked physically more exhausted at the end of Red Night then Black Night which was 20 min longer. Edit: Btw Happy Birthday to Su-metal who turns 26 years old today!

[@yunametal344]

great reaction🦊This is my favorite song.❤❤

[@rexeros8825]

Kami Band use ESP guitars most of the time.

[@mltdwn5415]

🤘🦊🤘

[@rexeros8825]

Try Fox Festival version. Its sound much heavier. My fav version is from Fox Festival :)

[@mikeat2637]

I might be wrong, but i don't recall seeing you guys react to anything from BM's first foray into the West at Sonisphere at Knebworth, England in 2014. It was their real coming-out party outside of Asia and they charmed the hell out of the hearts of those hard-ass British metal fans. I believe that they were on tour with Lady Gaga at that time also. There are just so many great clips from that performance, which I believe helped get them the invite to the 2016 Download Festival. I think there was a lot of serendipity involved, as I have read that they were supposed to be on a side stage but for some reason were shifted to the main stage. I'm sure Jake or Grington know the whole story in detail. But it's exciting to see.

[@JuanGomez-dk6kf]

Gran reaccion como siempre amigos, esta cancion es la mas clara representacion del genero Kawaii Metal, y por ultimo Feliz Cumpleaños Su Metal, felices 26 años

[@user-ym5vx1wi6j]

try the heaviest they have black babymetal "sis anger"

[@TheTeufelpanzerVI]

Nice one guys! I very much enjoy your reactions and talking points! I have a song for you to give a listen to, that I don't think you did yet - AMORE kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWbPm5KOes-kj7c. This is, in my opinion, the best version...and close to, if not my favorite, Babymetal song. It is a Su Metal solo song from the Wembley UK 2016 show. Give it a ride! Link from the Babymetal Reactors Resource page. Hope to see it soon, and Merry Christmas!

[@gameofyou1]

I would recommend a couple songs off their Metal Galaxy album: “Shanti Shanti” and “Pa Pa Ya”. Both are super fun songs.

[@ekkanofiqandriyana7325]

Nothing can beat *BUBBLE FEVER* in fun departemen the original babymetal the grup with Yui was pure *GOLD* no one can beat *MOIMOI* ❤

Ohhh snap, y’all should check out the live Tokyo show of Bring Me The Horizon featuring BabyMetal, the song Kingslayer You will be blown away on how good it is live and amazed at how good the collaboration between both bands , so good

[@nothsor]

Only BabyMetal can make a game of Tag/Hide and Seek with an Ogre (Oni-san) kawaii. You said they looked young, I'm not sure what month this was, but if 2014 Su was probabaly 16 and Moa & Yui were 14/15

[@titoshinshi3742]

Kawaii girls with their Kami band are demon busters ! Nice reaction thank you.

[@jairojurado5399]

Great reaction! I would recommend you react to Karate from the latest performance at Pia Arena. And some of the old songs but now with Momometal as an official member. The audience go crazy when Momometal introduce herself in the song Death!
