Rappers FIRST Time REACTION to BABYMETAL - ギミチョコ！！- Gimme chocolate!!

[@joeuncoolio]

So you've done Babymetal Gimme Chocolate. That's most people's first sample. Andiroo was talking crowd. Want to blow your mind? Watch Babymetal Road of Resistance Live. Remember that at the time, these girls were all well under 20. Great stage performance. If you do more Babymetal I'll toss more suggestions out there.

[@carlosouro3655]

Make sure to pick the one with ~35M views - it's a better live action view, there's another one but with less views - the cameras aren't as favorable to the live action - trust me. Also do headbanger live later - it is epic too

[@kunykazchannel]

up

[@davidrichins6495]

Upvote for Road of Resistance! That song sounds like DragonForce wrote an Anime soundtrack!

[@huskerchickmissy]

YESSSSSSS Her crowd control is amazing in that the pit and the drum solo omg! 🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊

[@MSIContent]

The girls were 16/15/15. Legendary crowd control and epic performance!!

[@adammckee3496]

Headbanger is the one you wan to watch. The one titled "BABYMETAL - Headbanger Live @ Legend 1997 Apocalypse"

[@Grington300]

Great first reaction ... and yes this was a live concert, the crowd are not choreographed (although their crowds do know what to do when in most of their songs since BABYMETAL want them to be part of the performance) - but they do follow the lead the girls give them (this was the song's debut, the crowd had never heard it before). No the audio was not live, this is the official video so the audio is from the studio recording ... they sound better live! This was recorded over 10 years ago in December 2013. We have watched them grow up to become one of the very best live bands on the planet. They formed in 2010, Su-metal the lead singer was 12 and the whole concept was formed around her vocal talents and stage presence. Her two younger friends Yuimetal (up to October 2017, she left in October 2018 because of poor health) and Moametal (and since April last year Momometal) provide backing vocals, harmonies and most importantly they get the crowd involved with their choreo - Yui and Moa were both 11 in 2010. 'Gimme Chocolate' is one of their fun songs, this is the video that got them noticed before they started touring the world in 2014 ... it is not one of their deepest or best songs (by a long way), but it is often the first thing people hear from them. Sadly it is the often only thing a lot of people hear and they judge them on this one song. They have missed out on the best musical entertainment I've found in many decades of listening to and enjoying all sorts of music (mainly but not exclusively rock and metal). BABYMETAL have nearly 70 songs now, each one different to the last - some are good hard metal, some (like this) lean towards their pop roots, they do everything in between and they will also mix and blend in so many other musical styles and genres with the metal ... and as I said, the whole thing was formed and developed around the lead singer's vocal talents - this song really doesn't even begin to show how incredibly versatile and talented she is.

[@Emilejg]

What they said😊

[@KeithDCanada]

Babymetal is 'surprisingly' good... it's WAY better than it should be. This is one of their 'cute' songs that is just all about the hook..... but their serious songs have a strange poignancy and relevance. Their song "Road of Resistance' is straight up a must listen. It has the musical feel of some of the best arena guitar rock from the 70's and 80's... which fits why someone like the lead singer of Judas Priest would duet with them LOL..

[@ravenna6543]

Agreed. Gimme Chocolate is just a fun song but some of their other work is also incredible. Props to the band too. The band is fantastic.

[@STS125]

Best way to describe. Everything about it tells you "I shouldn't like this. This should be too cheesy, to much fluff....." and can't help it, love it every time.

[@raymondsalazar6992]

BabyMetal!!! Many metal heads don't like them, but I think that they're very young and very talented, and the beats are heavy. They're very popular around the world and I suggest listening to more of them. They're very good live and their crowds are usually insyc with the band. I suggest "Headbanger" or the song "BxMxC" has hiphop elements in it that you might enjoy next. Thanks for the content

[@iansturgess6436]

Metal and jpop fusion, Baby metal is awesome, the fans are proper loyal and know every dance move to every song, you need to explore baby metal.

[@しーちゃんの使徒]

I'm Japanese. Thank for your reaction. BABYMETAL is not metal band but 'METAL DANCE UNIT'(in official).😁 And they are already adults now. The vocalist is always selected as one of the top rock singers in the world by famous music magazines in the United Kingdom and is called 'Queen' in the metal world. So I recommend their latest official MV, for example 'Mirror mirror', 'Metal kingdom' on You Tube.😀

[@seagull01-cp8pb]

Metal idols they even use the heart emoji hands. Love it.😁💕👍🦇

[@Q1776Q]

BabyMetal is my FAVORITE Metal band...PERIOD..... You have just seen the very tip of the iceberg

[@bobbyc3895]

This is the studio version of the song overlaying their live performance. The legit live performance you need to see is "Road of Resistance" - and keep in mind that that performance was over an hour into a show where they are basically doing this high energy choreography - and it's just...wow.

[@watcher2554]

Babymetal is Japan's #1 International Group. With #1 Albums in the UK and in the USA on Billboard's "Top Rock Album" chart, Babymetal has been turning the World Metal Scene on its Ear for more than a decade!! More Babymetal Always!! Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!

[@mangledmedia3603]

Babymetal are honestly one of the best bands to see live, they are phenomenal. Definitely need to watch some of their other stuff, Pa pa ya, headbanger, monochrome.

[@Ryan_Crown]

Loved your reaction to this. Been a Babymetal fan for over a decade - they are an incredible band, and are absolutely insane to watch live. The lead singer Su Metal has an incredible voice, and just got better as she got older. Headbanger, Karate, Road to Resistance - there are so many great songs of theirs to react to.

[@jjbudgie]

Wait they've been around for 10 years already?😂 dam time flies

[@TheLeomarti]

@@jjbudgie well much closer to 15 than 10 ahah

[@pondersome]

The girls are killin it on a song about chocolate. For real check out their song about fruit salad called Papaya.

[@cmlemmus494]

To be fair, it's not only about chocolate. The Japanese lyrics translate to: "Can I have a bit of chocolate / But my weight worries me a bit these days". Same thing with Papaya, they're contrasting the sweet and spicy mix of papaya-pok-pok with the struggles of adult life: "Life is like a Chocolate Box Box / Mix and mash up like Papaya-Pok-Pok / Knock, knock, knock, struggling / Pound our lives with some happiness and sadness." They're not the most complicated lyrics ever, but neither are the rock of the 60s & 70s. This is fun dance music for teens with lyrics that touch on the stresses and worries of young people.

[@khadaan8139]

They sound just as good if not better live, to be honest, Su Metal (the lead girl) has a VOICE on her! You need to watch both Karate and Pa Pa Ya (which features a Thai rapper, if you ever wanted to see idol dancing set to rapping over hardcore metal), the live versions As well as the Bringe Me The Horizon x Babymetal "Kingslayer" Live version. As far as the audience goes, Japanese idol groups "train" their audiences, there's something of an expectation of what to do during each song, and thats just part of how the fan/group interactions are

[@martinmetal7481]

Got us westerners trained as well . Do as Su tells you 😂🤘🏼🦊

[@christopherjq7414]

These girls were in their early teens in this video. They are in their 20's now and are one of the top metal acts in the world today. They'll be hosting a festival in Japan this May and Electric Callboy is one of the invited band's to be playing there🦊🤘

[@jeffwotherspoon3867]

Babymetal is a wicked Foxhole to go down, I have been a fan of theirs since 2015, they were formed in 2010, there is quite a story behind their creation and the whole lore behind them, also once you’ve listened to a few more songs check out the Guide to Babymetal by cryptic misery the 40+ min long video it will answer many questions for you

[@jamesclark8289]

Love it! Absolutely love these ladies!

[@MSIContent]

Crowd is real! This is a typical manic BABYMETAL concert. Check out ANY live track… you’ll see 🤟🏻🤟🏻

[@romanoperelli]

Finally Baby Metal!!! I went deep into the rabbit hole in 2023 and I think they are really great. This song is an oldie and although very popular it's not among my faves. I wish you could react to such epic songs like Divine Attack (live) or Monochrome (live at PIA Arena). Another super banger and the longest due reaction on the channel would surely be Bring Me The Horizon - 'Kingslayer' ft. BABYMETAL (Live In Tokyo).

[@dkmcbigsley]

An epic wormhole on par with EC. Please keep digging in. Them and EC are some of the best song/videos ever

[@laurabuer4714]

Tom Morello loves BabyMetal. I should pay heed to that. This is pretty awesome! Definitely niche, but very cool.

[@keithiverson6687]

Tom Morello did a song with them called METALI!!, he tuned his guitar to sound classical Japanese. There’s a few collab’s with other metal bands, Kingslayer w/ Bring Me The Horizon is one of my favourites.

[@seagull01-cp8pb]

Japanese crowds at idol shows are just like that.💕👍🦇

[@mikepiccione886]

Amazing concert in Philly this year so glad I got to see him live

[@howardwhite5131]

I saw them in Japan when they first started. They were were called BabyMetal because the lead singer (Su) was only 12 and the other two were only 11.

[@leeclayson2194]

It’s also a play on the Japanese pronunciation of Heavy Metal alongside the age thing

[@jlrinc1420]

Who is the white shirt guy? I am obsessed to find out.

[@garykeeling2275]

Koba has said multiple times that the name had nothing to do with their ages. He was intent on creating a new genre, and the name was a reference to it being a "baby" genre of music, a newborn genre. It was also a play on words because one of the Japanese words for "heavy" is "bebi," which is pronounced almost the same as "baby," so "bebi metaru" literally means "heavy metal." At the time he conceived the name, he didn't even know who was going to be in the group.

[@jlrinc1420]

@garykeeling2275 I think he may have said that because the girls were sensitive to being called babies. I have seen interviews when they were young and yui and moa were both pretty sensitive about being thought of as small.

[@ubermac85]

When you see the skeleton band they are singing to a track. Their actual band is called the Kami Band and it is made up of some of the best metal players in Japan. You need to watch Road of Resistance and Papaya. They’ve opened for Judas Priest and other legendary bands. They are extremely popular and their crowds are real.

[@flexygoo1295]

YEEESSSSSSS This album is FIRE. Megitsune is another good one on the album

[@renejensen7799]

Babymetal liveshows is just crazy.. im not really putting it on playlists and listen to it, but the liveshows is out of this world still, and something not seen this way before.. so i watch those for sure..

[@dominitrov]

Well. You’ve summoned the Babymetal fans. Headbanger and Papaya are my favourite

[@KenjaTimu]

The concert in the video was Dec 21 2013. This was just before the release of their first album. Their first single was 'Doki Doki Morning' in 2011.

[@mikepiccione886]

Can we start to go fund me for black pegasus so we can get him to a babymetal concert😂 I think that would be fantastic to see as a reaction live concert footage with black pegasus❤

[@Zedem0n]

About time xD Dude I've followed your journey with Rammstein and it is my firm belief BABYMETAL is the only other band that compares to Rammstein in terms of live show production. I'm excited and hyped for your journey ahead. And don't worry, their liveshows are fire. It's not choreographed or faked. BABYMETAL is one of the most interesting and unique bands on the planet with some of the most epic live shows with the most epic and wild crowds. I'm ready for more.

[@Ragnar_Helsson]

Lol it's funny you mention Electric Callboy. They just put out a song together called Ratatata.

[@isuckatguitar6252]

I'm going to see them live for the first time this summer. Their musicians are nuts, amazing players!

[@andy60234]

Nkotb but in Japan. They were put together like a boy band, but I like this . Check out them playing with Rob Halford of Judas Priest. Check out CMFT by Corey Taylor. Lot of cameos, like Baby metal.

[@iTrouble]

You are wrong on the choreographed audience. Their fans are crazy... watch other videos, you will see. Nevermind, I don`t think Gimme Chocolate is a good first hit to Babymetal... Go with Headbanger, Papaya, Monochrome @PIA or Kingslayer with Beyond the horizon. Those are showing their real potential.

[@Shortlovey]

Headbanger is a favorite of mine!!! PaPaYa, Metali!!, and BxMxC are also must dos IMO

[@RainbowKidDoesThings]

Love that ya mention Electric Callboy and EC and BM did a collab 😂

[@loganyee8101]

Road to Resistance has got to be your next reaction from Baby Metal

But the original live version, not the most recent. Sorry - just my opinion.

[@JuanCaFenrir]

We want more Babymetal 🤘🏻🦊

[@SLe3pY07]

Welcome to the foxhole! You definitely need to react to more of their stuff! They’re amazing! The vocalist is Su Metal and the other two dancing around Su are Moa Metal and Yui Metal. Yui Metal sadly left the band in 2018 and eventually a new member by the name of Momo Metal joined in 2023. They’ve been around since 2010 so they have a lots of years in the industry. They’re are the founders of the genre known as Kawaii Metal or cute metal, which is the blend of heavy metal and the vocal sounds of JPop. They have a huge dedicated fanbase like me known as The One which stem from many different parts of the world, but their biggest supporters are back home in Japan. And to answer the question about the audience being staged, it’s not. The fanbase at the Japanese shows are just like that. Plus all their shows are always sold out because that’s how amazing and popular they really are. If you don’t believe me then you should definitely check out more of their live performances. I would suggest checking out ForTheFoxGod channel on KZbin he has very hd quality videos of their performances. But I would definitely suggest Road of Reistance next along with Megitsune and headbanger. And if you want to check out their recent stuff I would suggest monochrome live at pia arena 2023 which is on their official yt. Along with Metali ft Tom Morello from RATM. And kingslayer with bring me the horizon. And if you want some hip hop vibes check out BxMxC and PaPaYa. Looking forward to see you react to more of their stuff! Anyways keep up the good job! I really enjoy your videos! Really good stuff! Anyways enjoy and again welcome to the foxhole! Kitsunes up! 🤘🏽🦊🤘🏽

[@iansturgess6436]

Please please please listen to " Road to resistance " - Baby Metal. Tell me you aren't a slight fan after that

[@jeffclinton9289]

Tbis is an absolutely live performance. As far as the audience goes, japanese audiences ARE group oriented just as their socieety is as a whole. This video was from about 10 uears ago when the lead singer was 17 and the other 2 were 15 though they all had been trained for this for childhood.

[@johnschultz7765]

This concert was the day after Su-metal's 16th birthday. Yui and Moa were 14½.

[@Chadw1cKed]

Gimme more *BABYMETAL* reactions!! 🤘🏻😜 Plz 💪🏻😬🤳🏻

[@savannarandolph]

Some live performances id suggest from babymetal: "Megitsune Live at PIA arena (eng subs)" "Headbanger!! Live at budokan (eng subs)" "Monochrome live at PIA arena (eng subs)" Hope you enjoy what you hear if you come back to it 🤘🦊

[@ckheffern]

Jeeeezus i was not ready for that. Guess you weren’t either.

[@NetProphet76]

I desperately wish people wouldn’t recommend Gimme Chocolate first. They do it for shock value but BabyMetal have so many better songs and have collabed with half the metal industry. Pleasepleaseplease give them a second listen with Road of Resistance, Live in Japan.

[@Masonicbrother]

This is all live and filmed in concert in Japan, the audio is from the studio for the video version. You can watch the actual live performance, there really isn't much difference

[@RebelSoul2010]

That's how Japanese concerts are. They really do come across as almost choreographed at times. There are JPop concerts where everyone has a glowstick up in the air and they are all in sync.

[@emb5091]

In a recent interview, the interviewer said that the girls probably practice their choreo everyday, and Moametal (the girl usually on the right side of the video) basically said "No, just 6 days a week.". WTF! That's why you don't see them winded or tired, and they can sing while jumping/dancing around! 🤘🦊🤘

[@halfglassofluke]

It's still crazy to me that people haven't heard this song. It's only been out 10+ years. But it's also great that new people are discovering Babymetal for the first time. I would highly recommend checking out the newest song (it's a collab between F.hero and Bodyslam) called "Leave it all Behind" just for a comparison between then and now.

[@mikepiccione886]

Always watch the live performances it'll blow you away❤

[@Chu6um]

The shows in Japan are wild! Yes, that is what a live concert actually looks like, and if you want to see something even wilder, catch the 'Road to Redemption' show - with mosh pit! If you ever get to Japan, and have a chance to go to about any 'idol' concert, you'll see they're like a giant fan club, that sync up like they're choreographed.

[@Dizturb3dwun]

i kinda hate that everyone starts with Gimme Chocolate lol It's a great meme song, but they have actually good music now.

[@BeccaVinesz]

Gimme Chocolate is not a meme song as some people think tho, it may look like that but it has actual cultural meaning. So makes sense some people would miss it as they don't usually interpret the lyrics with BABYMETAL but Japanese people I'm sure they are able to get the context of it.

[@PaulGuy]

​@@BeccaVineszIt still isn't that great of a song to introduce someone to, since there isn't much there. It's pretty much a tiny verse and tiny chorus, repeated a couple times.

[@chrislambert9903]

I feel like you can appreciate Gimma Chocolate more once you get to know Babymetal more.

[@Zedem0n]

Been a BM fan for over 6 years. And as the years go by, you start appreciating Gimme Choco more and more. And it's a banger live, whatever people think of it.

This is everyone's first taste. It's not bad, but there is soooo much more. As others have said, they were very young to start and the culture isn't like ours. I've seen them live, and although they do seem to do the exact same performance for their shows, it didn't seem lip synced at all. They are ALL about the crowd and it shows. That entire show that has the video you reacted to was FANTASTIC and you could easily do more from that concert.

the crowd's legit. This band emphasizes audience participation, that's why you see what you see. For an excellent example of this, watch Road of Resistance recorded in 2016. In fact, their live performances are almost always the best to watch (excluding Megitsune or Karate).

[@mikepiccione886]

Perfect song to start your reaction with babymetal❤

[@ravenna6543]

You should react to more of their music, they have a great library of songs out there. With that out of the way, you should also just check out more Japanes music. We've been kinda ignoring JP's music industry for so long but they've had some AMAZING artist that should have been bigger globally than they are/were

[@AldoGuerraALDO-METAL]

FYI: The audience is NOT choreographed🤣🤣🤣 This WAS a live show, but this particular video is studio song over live video unfortunately. There are plenty of ACTUAL live videos to choose from. Babymetal is specifically made for live shows.

[@childlessdoggentleman746]

As a member of the One, I welcome you on your journey down the foxhole. At this time, Babymetal is my favorite group and have been so for about 5 years now. This old (55) headbanger was feeling depressed this morning when to my absolute delight I saw you were reacting to Babymetal. First some quick stats. With their debut song "Doki Doki Morning," the lead singer Su-Metal was 14 and Yui and Moa were 12. They became the youngest act to have ever been invited to play the Budokon. They are the youngest act to sellout the Wembly Stadium in London. They are the first Japanese act to top the US Metal charts and the first Japanese act to reach the top forty since the Sixties. Please, continue your journey down the foxhole. There are numerous great videos to watch. For you, I would say "Papa Ya", Rondo of Nightmare" and Road of Resistance" are excellent follow-ups.
