Rappers React To BabyMetal "Elevator Girl"!!!

[@ndox9009]

the English and the Japanese version have different meaning for Elevator Girl , one about a girl mood and the other one about one way ticket to Heaven or Hell.

[@SeanPat1001]

I don’t know about that. It seems the Japanese people I know also feel it’s the H-H elevator, too.

[@MetalNCarnet]

they have a big western audience as well. They have played Wembley in the UK and the Forum in LA.

[@Hollywood6IX]

Is there video of this

[@MetalNCarnet]

@@Hollywood6IX Both of those shows have come out in FULL officially on blueray and DVD. Forum just came out last week! I think Wembley is available digitally on most digital media stores too including google play/itunes. this is the trailer for the Forum (which i attended live myself): kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZLaZp-Xd7uEZ9k this is the trailer for wembley: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmXciaSweJxkZq8 there are fancam videos of these shows all over the place on youtube as well.

[@GreenFuryFM]

Oh yeah, Su has improved her English a lot. Also, this is not the first BM song in English. Song "The One" from their second album has Japanese and English version too.

[@CharlesEMurphy]

I think the meaning is as simple as "life has its ups and downs".

[@mr.osclasses5054]

The Japanese version is literally about a woman going straight to hell. So, the translated version in English sounds nothing like what they meant it to, from what I've read.

[@CharlesEMurphy]

@@mr.osclasses5054 You're right, that's pretty brutal!

[@mr.osclasses5054]

@@CharlesEMurphy It fits much better with some of their other songs and performances with pentagrams and such being involved, also with the "metal" aspect in general. The English version needed a better translation...or a thesaurus to make it harder. It sounds nothing like it should, as I'm to understand it.

[@aegonthedragon6341]

BABYMETAL - Ijime,Dame,Zettai - Live at Sonisphere 2014,UK (Official) Guys you gotta do that one next week. That's a golden moment in BABYMETAL history.

[@Spitfire-nw1ux]

Su and moa said in an interview that elevator girl (in english) is about how they've grown into adults and like all young adult women (and dudes) have their ups and downs in mood the japanese version is an elevator ride to hell lol 😂 Su is almost fluent in english imo she does most of the interveiws in europe and america but always has moa answer questions too. Moa is also pretty good at english she has a lot more confidence then she did a couple years ago Also the kawaii laughs and smiles in interviews are the best

[@teebamboozler6462]

Now my request: NO RAIN, NO RAINBOW (official - live at Hiroshima Green Arena) CATCH ME IF YOU CAN (live at Rising Sun 2016) Can you react to these 2? They might not b popular but u will b surprised too

[@GscheidaBua]

I think catch me if you can live at budokan is even better, has a few amazing solos at the beginning

[@Jaydeee04]

Yes! i love that Catch me of you can live in Rising Sun crazy crowd and big moshpit. Su asking the crowd "Bigger Bigger" and of course the best live version of No Rain, No Rainbow Legend S Baptism XX.

[@orangeRANGE81]

@@Jaydeee04 Exactly...multiple pits in 1 song. Crazy crowd control. And yes...best ever No Rain, No Rainbow version at Legend S - Baptism xx (at Hiroshima Green Arena).

[@ClawCarver]

Oh, Su-metal can do pretty much anything. Even though I prefer the Japanese version (the lyrics are more interesting), I love this song for its choreography, its punch and swagger, and especially those deep, dirty, bass-heavy riffs.

[@Harry_Creter_AKA_Kaldath]

You want to see Babymetal in front of an American crowd ? Just Search "Babymetal Live at the Forum" most of the footage you'll find on youtube is fan cams but it will certainly show you the US fans

Damn! I'd actually forgotten how banging, dope and totally lit that song is! Thanks for choosing this one and great reaction as ever. Su's English is pretty good already but keeps getting better.

[@mikepowers9486]

[@bgjones973]

I was at their show at the Forum. I met people from England, Japan, Thailand, Italy and many other countries. These girls can really unite people. It was a great show. You need to check it out

[@martinmetal7481]

They popular in UK and Europe since 2014 appearance at Sonisphere and Wembley arena 2016 and venues and festivals across Europe . After doing support tours with the likes of Red hot Chilli Peppers , Korn , in America got a fan base there as well . They did 20 date sell out tour which included LA Forum last year in the US and a sell out European tour which includes 2 shows in Russia this year in February . As for English version is good prefare Japanese version .

[@toro55ful]

Actually for most of us one of the beauty´s of Babymetal is that they sing in Japanese, and many like more the Japanese version of this song, also Babymetal have another song in full english called The One that song was their first full english song and is a tribute to their fanbase also called "The One" Great reaction btw! Kitsune up!!

[@TheSniatch]

They performed at The Forum in America and there is a Blu Ray of it that just released a couple of days ago but you won't find anything on youtube except of some fancams. Here is a great proshot video of the song "Kagerou" from the show: streamable.com/4zh1v . You could react to it with Link & Sync if you're familiar with it. It will get blocked on youtube if you try to upload it.

[@outwest1014]

Both Su and Moa now speak English. They worked to become fluent because they wanted to be able to communicate to their international fans.Moa accent with give you chills. English is taught in Japanese schools but not conversational English so they have to learn to speak in English. As I understand it Babymetal biggest international fan bases are England, Germany, USA and Russia. As to numbers for each country, don't know. In 2019 they sold-out the LA Forum, with no supporting acts, which is a milestone for any band. FYI Band-Maid put out video to communicate with all the fans, it was in Japanese and English with notes in both. All members spoke in English, It was Great!! Everyone BE SAFE, sheltering in California.

[@johnschultz7765]

The English lyrics were written by Joe Inoue. He did a video explaining the process. Well, 2 videos, one for his English language channel and one for his Japanese language channel.

[@carls9681]

Babymetal Monday!

[@rickwagner-]

⚡ 💕 / 🔼 🔽 I like this one, but also prefer the Japanese version. That one has lyrics about going to Hell, and being tortured with needles for thousands of years. Kawaii Metal. : ) On the plus side, they actually got some radio play in the USA with this English version. This was filmed at one of the two special concerts for Moa's 20th birthday in 2019 at Portmesse Nagoya. BABYMETAL ARISES - BEYOND THE MOON - LEGEND - M - July 7th.

[@ameliacharles2284]

Some suggestions and see if anyone else agrees Jane's Addiction - Three Days Kyuss - Whitewater or Demon Cleaner Soundgarden - Hands All Over Nine Inch Nails - The Wretched Monster Magnet - Negasonic Teenage Warhead

[@Jordan-Ramses]

The American audience is not as big or as hyped. But it's getting there. They did their first big show in America last October at the Forum in LA. That might have been the Forum you watched right there. If it wasn't it looked almost exactly like that. It was really cool to watch. So much of the crowd obviously knew the songs and responded in Japanese. It's cool as an American but they've had European crowds like that for a while now.

[@TheSniatch]

No this video isn't from the Forum because Kano is the avenger and she wasn't at that show :D this is most likely from Yokohama.

[@chrisstorms7511]

It looks like as far as official videos for baby metal the only ones you haven't reacted to yet are: Ijime, Dame, Zettai; The One; Starlight (one of my faves). Shanti Shanti Shanti; and Da Da Dance

[@keithsowerby8179]

Also, after Yui left for health reasons - 2 1/2 years since she last appeared - and the tragic death of Mikio, they had a period of a larger dance ensemble of Avengers. There are now three women who substitute for Yui in different shows. Last Autumn’s US tour used Riho Sayashi, this Winter’s European tour used Momoko Okazaki. Also used is the Moa look alike Kano Fujihira. Just slightly younger than Su, Riho also originates from Hiroshima, and was a well known Idol star in Morning Musume. Fans yearn for a return of Yui, but Kano, Riho and Momoko need to be supported also.

[@arttuviitaniemi7662]

Babymetal performed in The Forum last year, there is an official DVD for that night, but only fan cams in youtube and not official videos that i can think of. If you are up to doing fancam videos, The Forum is propably your best bet with american audience

[@rwxstudio7173]

Wasn't that show uploaded by BabyMetal as part of the "Stay Safe, Stay Metal" shows recently?

[@arttuviitaniemi7662]

You mean the most recent show? It was from Wembley, in UK

[@highpriestofthiccmumeism]

I'm from DFW, Texas and last year when I was trying to buy the tickets for BabyMetal, every site that was selling their tickets said "Sold Out"....tickets had been on sale for just 1 week so far and I was so sad lol

[@kianmetarudesu9572]

Wait. Weren't we at 10k subs just last week? Almost 12k now! Regarding US fans, they did a sold out show at the Forum in LA. That concert is available on blu ray now. Regarding Elevator Girl, i like the video cos it's the 1st music video where the girls are, er hmm, legal. But ok let's not go there haha You know what would be an interesting reaction video? React to the 2 different version of Akatsuki (pronounced ah-cut-ski). There's the full version w the kami and then there's the Akatsuki Unfinished version where Su sings it live backed by a piano and nothing else - no guitars no drums no bass. Just Su's voice and a piano. You can't resist that, surely. Lol. It's a Su-metal solo song btw. For your consideration. :)

[@Aeonoftherift]

I feel this song was a nice way of saying "FUCK YOU, life, I'm getting up and you are going down."

[@Hadesillo]

Su has put a lot of effort in learning english. She started to speak it at around 2016 and now she can sing and speak it really good.

[@richardbiondo239]

TT if you listen closely most of Babymetal songs have some English in them , there are a lot of translation videos that are great. Check out the Forum show in LA

[@joeslag]

there is two meaning to this song if im wrong someone can correct me japanese version is about going to hell english version girls mood swings

You guys are ready for their song The One. It is another full song that they sing entirely in English. There are two different versions, one that is half in English and half in Japanese, and then one version that is entirely in English and that is the one i recommend. I'll link it right here for you - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXi6kqxpp7iBe8k Also, payday is friday, will be becoming a Patreon! Awesome content man!

[@Grington300]

They do have a couple of songs in English apart from this one. 'The One' is most obvious to go to (although the official video is the half and half English-Japanese version - most other live versions are full English), also 'From Dusk Till Dawn' is probably in English, but hearing the lyrics isn't very easy on that - great song though, very different to anything else they've done. The fan base in the US is growing, they also have a lot of fans in the UK and Europe, but it is only in Japan where they can regularly sell out arenas as things stand. Outside of Japan they have only had two arena shows - Wembley Arena in 2016 (12500 people) and The Forum in LA last October 2019 (17000? people).

[@mr.osclasses5054]

As I'm to understand it, this song was kind of a "thank you" from the group to their fans who speak other languages for learning (or trying to learn) Japanese so they can sing along with their songs. They wanted to translate one into English. As Rick Wagner said before, the Japanese version is more of a girl going to hell and being tortured. Whereas the English version is hard to really discern the meaning. I like the energy of it, but I honestly prefer the Japanese version. This was a super nice gesture by them. I just hope they don't start going down the road of switching to English in their songs just to get even more into the bigger markets like the U.S. and others. They are awesome just as they have been.

[@ANDOR-]

"As I'm to understand it, this song was kind of a "thank you" from the group to their fans who speak other languages for learning (or trying to learn) Japanese so they can sing along with their songs. They wanted to translate one into English." That was "The One". I don't think there's a particular reason why there's an English and a Japanese version of Elevator Girl. But I'm the same as you, I definitely like the Japanese one better. But I also like the Japanese version of The One better. I think the English one is confusing with the End of the World and so on. The Japanese one makes a lot more sense, the same as with Elevator Girl.

[@SeanPat1001]

Hey! Another great review! Su-Metal is at least bi-lingual and has been doing interviews in English for years. Think about this. Babymetal started doing world tours while the younger girls were in middle school and Su-metal was in high school. They had to keep their grades up, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to get permission to go on tour.

[@keithsowerby8179]

It is an elevator between Heaven and Hell, hence all the red coloured effects.

You can get Babymetal- Live at the Forum in L.A. a whole concert - in bluray. on Amazon Japan and it plays in USA players. most of their US shows are at smaller venues like House of blues and Rock clubs- but still sold out quickly. Have played Forum a few times and Madison Square Garden in NY. their US fans are just as hardcore. Here is a cell phone video for you to watch- maybe not review- of Kagerou- a newer song and the dance is a little bit sexy (as they are adults now). kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2fHhqmOmLSmY5I

[@MacTaipan]

I have to admit, I don't understand a single word of the chorus. I'm not a native English speaker, though. I prefer the Japanese version, too. I like the concept. First of all, an elevator girl is a very Japanese concept, and the twist they give it that she always takes you down to hell is pretty Metal. Perfect combination. If I'm not mistaken, you haven't watched "The One" yet. It's a great, more mellow song that has an English version as well. It's an ode to their international fans, and as such is somewhat emotional as well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iou1p4JmiJKHgrc

[@Wombatmetal]

Hate to disabuse your theories, the elevator is on it's way to hell. The song is about the ups and downs of a girl crossing into adulthood. If you look at Da-Da-Dance half the footage is from the LA show last October. The American and European audiences are just as engaged with the band. They have a concert from Wembley in the UK which may still be on KZbin and you can see an English audience. I say English, but anywhere they play the audience is international - people fly in from all over the world to see a Babymetal concert and anyone you go to has a large contingent of international fans.
