Sakura Gakuin - ''FRIENDS'' Music Video [さくら学院] 🌸First Time Reaction🌸

[@Grington300]

Great reaction - and you were pretty much spot on with your summary of them being taken on a nice trip (maybe not the kidnap part) and then reading a letter to (or something they had each written about) their best friend in the group and making them cry. You spotted Su and yes you were right about Yui - Moa was right next to her. As has already been said, in SG videos if you spot Yui, Moa will nearly always be next to her, she will be smiling and showing her dimples. Easiest way to spot Yui and Moa - they were the two smallest (but don't tell Moa I said that).

[@FaroSofi]

I can't believe I doubted myself with Moa, tbh while editing I was like maybe I was right and will definitely look dumb 😂😂

[@autohmae]

Moa is the one who's face changed the most, so she is hardest to spot.

[@Killem911]

Moa is still smol ❤❤❤

[@bradkornatowski3866]

When you see Yui, Moa is right next to her. They were a bonded pair.

[@rickwagner-]

🌸 🏫 / 💛 That's Ayami Mutō next to Su on the bus. An interviewer once asked Ayami to describe her relationship with Su. She told them to listen to the Sakura Gakuin song 'FRIENDS'. That last scene with the empty chairs is a killer. Especially when you consider that all of the girls that had been sitting in those chairs has long since graduated from Sakura Gakuin. Apparently, each member was asked to write out a statement about their best friend in the group, but didn't know they would be reading them out loud, or that it would be part of a music video. We have the pairs of Yui and Moa, Hana and Rinon (who became the only two members of the Pro Wrestling Circle sub-unit), Raura (stage actress) and Nene (nurse), Hinata and Marina (both successful as voice actresses and Idol group members), Airi and Ayaka (who are still friends as well as successful models and actresses in Japan), and Suzuka and Ayami (former Karen Girl's members). Funny you mentioned 'Love Live'. That was Moa's favorite anime. Two of the members in this video, Hinata and Marina, have been part of the 'Love Live!' franchise. Hinata is Kazuno Leah in the Saint Snow duo. Marina was in the 'Love Live! School Idol Musical'.

[@FaroSofi]

wow, thank you. It actually makes me so happy that they are all doing so well. 🥰 My anime senses were right for once 😆

Nice reaction, thanks! As you can imagine, this is waaaay outside my alley musically and from every single angle. BUT becoming a die-hard BABYMETAL fan comes with watching their origins and I ended up enjoying their music and their acting (wait until you watch the Nendo Tests, haha...). No need to call them by their BABYMETAL character's names when performing with SG. Just Suzuka, Yui and Moa. My favorite SG song is "Hello! IVY" but they have many great ones like: "Yume ni mukatte", "Verishuvi", "My Graduation Toss" (of course), Su's solo: "Sakurairo no avenue", etc. 🤘🌸

[@FaroSofi]

I just checked there are so many Nendo Tests, I think 1 for each year, or maybe that is how they are titled

[@road-runner]

@@FaroSofi There is one "Nendo" (anual, or school year) test per year, as its name suggests hehe... Su graduated in 2013 (nendo 2012) while Yui and Moa graduated two years later (nendo 2014). They started in 2010 so 2010 - 2014 (inclusive) are the years with the three OG BABYMETAL members. Momoko (and Kano) joined SG the next year (nendo 2015). 😊

[@66zoot]

Moa was basically tethered to Yui throughout the video.

[@Q1776Q]

The songwriters for Sakura Gakuin are fantastic.

[@kirariniwa3948]

Yui and Moa was always a cute combo and in Sakura Gakuin videos they are usually together. i love sakura gakuin reactions :)

[@FlavioPeiro]

First I heard this song as a Yui & Moa's friendship tribute video with the lyrics on it, and it just wrecked me. What a beautiful song and message, and what most pure and beautiful friendship Yui & Moa have.

[@Ganimal83]

Haha nice one! Easy to find Moa: She’s the “inseparable sister” always right next to Yui! She was in almost every frame Yui was present! And Moa is also the one that is most smol 😂. Adorable, instant Kawaii Poisoning…. 🤕 🤘🦊

[@jeffschreifels8651]

It's always funny watching people try to spot Yui and Moa. I'm sitting here by myself, like an idiot, pointing at my screen saying "SHE'S RIGHT THERE!!! YOU WERE LOOKING RIGHT AT HER!! As if you can see or hear me. lol To be honest, because of the jump cuts, I still have a difficult time recognizing Moa. Like others have said, if you see Yui, you see Moa because they are almost always together. When you commented 'that girl is so cute' that WAS Yui. Immediately after that, you saw Moa with the sun glaring off her face. I recommend a Mini Pati song. That is Yui and Moa along with Hana. There are only 3 to pick from. :)

[@FaroSofi]

😭😂 I'm cry laughing, damn can't believe I missed it 😆

[@rrcollier]

I'll second the minipatti recommendation. Particularly the "miraculous patifull hamburger" (with english subs, the lyrics are a blast)

[@jeffschreifels8651]

@@rrcollier That is the one I was thinking about but I couldn't remember the full title at the time. Good thing you mentioned about finding it with English subtitles. That is very important.

[@dangermouseuk78]

For Sakura Gakuin I'd say the general rule is more often than not Moa and Yui would be together in videos etc., so wherever you find Moa, Yui would be either next her or close by and if you spot Yui first the same applies.

[@Roin8]

Thank you ! I have an infinite tenderness for Sakura Gakuin, to whom we owe so much.🌸✨

[@autohmae]

Let's be honest, we all have that feeling watching these kids, maternal, uncle, etc. And it fits, the fans are called: fukei, which means guardian or parent/grandparent/family member, looking over them. I always imagine, the parent who comes to their kids school play.

[@gurkfisk89]

It's funny that you mentions Love Live. If you google Moametal love live you can find pictures of Moa cosplaying and showing of her merch. =) You also see two people in this video who later gets roles in Love Live, Sato Hinata who is the voice actor of Kazuno Leah and Horiuchi Marina as Tsubaki Rurika.

[@astrafaan]

I was hoping you'd look at some Sakura Gakuin stuff - there's heaps of it and a lot of fun (esp. the nendo tests :P). Su's "graduation toss" when she left is also awesome - esp. if you can get the speeches (or whatever) afterward where the girls talk about Su on stage. Great reaction to a fun and cute song! Hilarious you couldn't spot Moa - she's in the vast majoirty of the shots Yui is in - with twin plaited pigtails :D

[@thenormalman3409]

Check out Su metal graduation speeches sakura gakuin 2012🤗

[@TreadheadA1]

Great reaction, Sofi! Friends is a definite favorite makes my eyes sweat there near the end when they are reading their letters. Thank you for the laughs as well in your ongoing effort to ID Moa. You got Su and Yui right away (even if you weren't too sure about Yui). Like others, I laughed every time you asked where Moa is and she just happened to be on the screen at the time, lol. Moa has changed the most out of the three so no one will hold it against you for not identifying her. I look forward to your next SG reaction! P.S. Keep reacting even after the 2014 Nendo. IIRC Kano and Momoko start in 2015. Momoko is hilarious and Kano's vicious battles with Mori sensei are legendary!

[@jhorse6968]

Hi I have a question for you. It's one I ask all my favorite reaction channels. Do you keep track of requests or look at older videos comments? Say if I request a Babymetal video from like 5 Babymetal videos ago, am I good now and i don't have to worry about commenting it again? Just something nice to know. Thank you! 🤘 Can you do Sakura Gakuin Yui's Depression? It's so damn KAWAII

[@FaroSofi]

That is a wonderful question. Thank you for asking😊 So, I'm not sure about others but what really works for me is that I have a playlist on YT, and every song that I will be reacting to is added. So when I reply to comments I find the specific song and add it to my list and its in order that makes it easier for me to follow. I also have screenshots of some big comments with lots of recommendations and I look through those too. Sometimes, I will be having a song recommended by basically everyone, or a song just released so I priorities those first. But slowly but surely I try my best to get to everyones recommendations. Also it is likely that I might miss a song or two, I would be happy if they keep recommending it. 🥰 I still have a very long list of BabyMetal song that I haven't finished since I first started my BM reactions 😭. Hopefully ONE DAY!!

[@jhorse6968]

@FaroSofi awesome Thank you! Also not sure if you saw it before you replied because i edited it in last second just before you did, but i hope Sakura Gakuin Yui's Depression gets a reaction some day. Anyway thank you Have a good day!

[@FaroSofi]

Of course, I have added it to my list😊

[@fabianochevallier]

Moa is always by Yui's side. Please make more Sakura Gakuin REACTs. Not just the songs. Check out the general knowledge quizzes. It's really funny and you'll get to know their names. SuMetal is from 2010 to 2012. While Moa and Yui until 2014.

[@christopherjq7414]

You should react to M/V's from Ayami Muto, she was in SG along with Su, Yui and Moa and she's also really talented

[@IAMisLove]

Thank you for doing this reaction! You've GOT to watch this one. It's a tribute to Yui and Moa growing up together. It's super sweet. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGrVXneYn9Z3nc0 I guarantee you after watching this video, you will be able to recognize them anywhere!

2021 MoaMetal Onedari Daisakusen and 2014 Budokan YuiMetal & MoaMetal Onedari Daisakusen please. Both are awesome. Thank you!

[@66zoot]

Funny that you mention Love Live when there are future Love Live performers in the video.

[@jeffschreifels8651]

Oh yeah, Maybe its been mentioned already but I think you should sneak the word 'Babymetal' in your video title. It should make it more visible out there. This is related closely enough to Babymetal to justify it, I'd say.

[@FaroSofi]

Thank you for the advice, I actually changed it and added some BabyMetal # 😊

[@toroidefractal7542]

su moa and yui

[@kiino001]

Nice reaction as always. You got Su and Yui but missed Moa. To be fair of the 3 she's changed the most but the easy way to spot her if you're not sure is she and Yui were basically always together in SG videos so in this she's the one with the braids and pink hair ties. She's the one in the thumbnail for your reaction along with Yui. Nice tribute to the 2 of them here kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGrVXneYn9Z3nc0 Sakura Gakuin is covered to some extent in the Not So Essential Guide so you'll get some information from that when you get the chance to do do it. There's also a lot of other SG content available on YT.

[@FaroSofi]

You might not believe this, but I was thinking that she was Moa but was like nah can't be her😭😭 shot myself on the foot😂😂

[@kiino001]

@@FaroSofi Don't worry. As I said of the 3 she's changed the most. Su in 2011 is still clearly Su as is Yui, but you could be forgiven for thinking that Moa in 2011 is a different person to Moa from 2024. That said when you spotted Su and paused on a close up of Yui and said now to look for Yui and Moa 😄

[@emmickelsen]

Moa is the one with the braids

[@papeh01]

Nice and cute reaction 💕 Good job spotting Su, I think you also managed to recognize Yui, and Moa was the other little girl who didn't leave Yui's side, don't worry about not recognizing Moa, she has changed a lot over the years. Sakura Gakuin was a group limited to the growth period, so generally the girls graduated at 15 years old, every year new members arrived and some graduated. Some of these girls are actresses, models, singers, idols, seiyus and even one of them is a nurse 😊 Some are more active than others on social networks, but it could be said that all of them are doing very well (except for Yui, about whom little or nothing is known) It's funny you mention Love Live! since one of these girls is part of the franchise since she is the seiyu of one of the characters from Love Live! sunshine, more specifically from the group Saint Snow

[@FaroSofi]

omg the coincidence 😆, also I can't believe I missed Moa😂

[@SirGreenDay]

Do you hate Moa? She's ALWAYS right next to Yui, yet you NEVER acknowledge her. They show them together 5x just in the first couple minutes of the video. Then @5:05 and 5:50 they show a closeup of just Yui and Moa and all you mention is Yui, you totally ignore Moa. @6:06 you literally have the video paused on Moa and pretend you can't find her. Really? So disrespectful. Unbelievable. All you care about is Su. Wow.

[@FaroSofi]

How about a very simple reason of me actually not being able to recognise her, Y’know. It’s really not that deep😊
