Can We RESIST BABYMETAL?!?! | BABYMETAL - ROAD OF RESISTANCE | Reaction

[@chifors2172]

God i love it when Su removes the In Ear Monitor to listen to the crowd chanting .

[@rickwagner-]

⚡ 💀 💕 / 🏴 🏴 🏴 "Stand up and shout, Shout!, Justice Forever!" - (Road of Resistance) - BABYMETAL's choreographer is MIKIKO (Mizuno). She has worked with the pop group Perfume on staging and choreography since their inception, developed dance routines for Sakura Gakuin (the school-themed Idol group where BABYMETAL originated), and has her own dance troupe, ELEVENPLAY. She is an original faculty member of Actors School Hiroshima (ASH). Mikiko also created the choreography for Su's first pro singing group Karen Girl's.

[@watcher2554]

Choreographer: Mikiko Mizuno If you had watched the Closing Ceremony of the 2016 Olympic Games, the section introducing Japan as the next Host Country was choreographed by Mikiko and she was asked to be the Lead Choreographer for the 2020 Olympics but due to internal problems with the Japan committee and Covid, she resigned before the Games. She was also the Choreographer for Sakura Gakuin and still is for the Mega Jpop group 'Perfume'! Thanks for another great reaction and as always.... Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!

[@jakemuller8626]

3:57 _"Now Pizza Time! (Pizza Time!)"_ 🦊🤘🍕 Thanks for wishing a late happy birthday to our lovely queen SuMetal. Just like you noticed, you're watching a live compilation mixing different BM era from 2015/2016 when YuiMetal was still in the group and 2019 during avenger era and without her. I highly suggest you to watch the official live in Japan 2015 to know an epic performance with a great ending they usually do with this song, put some filters to avoid being blocked. Have a wonderful week and see you next time. Kitsune up!🦊🤘🔥

BABYMETAL makes audience smile 　　 with heavy metal

[@gothorn2758]

Their choreographer is Mikiko Mizuno-sensei, aka MIKIKOMETAL. She teach them since "pre Babymetal days" in their previous jpop group when they just around 10/12 years old.

[@Icipher353]

Mikiko was also dance instructor at Actors School Hiroshima where Su first started her training, so Mikiko has been her dance coach right from the start until now.

[@autohmae]

@@Icipher353 As I understand it Mikiko was at ASH and later left. And Suzuka came later to ASH, so Suzuka only worked with Mikiko the first time with Karen Girl's. But Mikiko was a founding staff member of ASH so how ASH worked, etc. was very much influenced by her.

[@MacTaipan]

Seeing the girls have so much fun moves me to tears. Especially since Moa has the best smile in the world. :-) That's part of the BABYMETAL experience as well. It's not just the music and the dancing, it's also the positivity they ooze that makes them so special. Not too long ago I watched a reaction video from a guy who said it's obvious that the girls are forced to do this and don't enjoy what they are doing. I don't understand to what extent the haters are blinded by their preconceptions.

[@septasoareousrex]

That sounds like maybe they were rage baiting. You can tell they have so much fun and passion for this and we completely understand it moving you to tears🦊🤘 it’s beautiful to see their joy shine through! 😄🦊🦖🤘

[@Grington300]

Great reaction - hopefully this comment won't disappear like all my others on other reactions today. 'Road of Resistance' is a very positive song, it isn't the usual "resist the machine or the system etc" that we might expect from the title. It is about forging your own road even where a road doesn't already exist, not necessarily going the easy way or following the path already made by somebody else, so if the way you want to go has never been trodden you may have to get past the resistance of the undergrowth, obstacles, hurdles and things blocking your way etc to find your own way. It could easily be used to describe BABYMETAL's own story - they could have followed the well trodden path of J-Pop and been very successful, but they chose to go with Metal ... but again they didn't just follow the same old format of every other metal band, they have done it their own way and it hasn't always been an easy route to follow. Herman Li and Sam Totman from DragonForce did the guitar arrangements for this song (it is the only one they were involved in) and recorded the guitars for the album version.

[@bradkornatowski3866]

Yeah, it is their closing song, so they are a mess. If Su looks like a sweaty smelly sock, you know it was a good show. Moa pretty much cried at the Tokyo Dome show so yeah, she was all choked up.

[@jimnusbaum3589]

Thanks for the reaction. This is actually a fairly good compilation in that you do get that perspective of Babymetal over time. Some of your questions: Babymetal generally do fairly short sets, no more than 90 minutes, but they frequently do multi-day concert runs. All the musicians are very experienced session musicians for the most part. BOH (bassist), Takeyoshi Ohmura (guitar), Mikio Fujioka (guitar) played together frequently as the Kari Band and under other names. Mikio has since passed away. Leda Cygnus (guitar) is also a well known session musician.

[@johnschultz7765]

Babymetal's live backing band, the kamiband, members are all top tier *session* musicians. Some have had notable band experience. Leda Cygnus played with Galneryus for a time. Ohmura Takayoshi has been in Marty Friedman's band in Japan. The Western Kamis came from Galactic Empire and Shadow of Intent. Many have had their own projects over the years. The Eastern kamiband members are often well-known as jazz or fusion players, which is not uncommon in Japan. Mikio Fujioka (RIP) was a master among masters and an instructor at the prestigious Musicians Institute. Leda is the only one known to have been featured on any studio tracks. The studio musicians are generally uncredited. There are a few videos and web pages that have information on the couple of dozen musicians that have been in the kamiband pool.

[@septasoareousrex]

Thank you so much John! It’s really cool to hear how they structure it all and who they choose😄🤘🦊🦖

[@hugovictor5186]

How they keep doing this for an entire show? Cardio training, of course. They are professional dancers after all. I remember a report that Su practices singing on a treadmill. Don't know if that is true but It may very well be. What's more, they have four songs during which Su rests backstage and another four where the other two rest. During their long shows, they perform two each of those so everybody gets to rest twice. Their longest show was the one at Wembley Arena. The Blu-ray release runs 1:43:50.

[@road-runner]

Good reaction, thanks! Yes, the songwriting process includes the live performance perspective. They are often considered a live act and they even consider their studio albums as "business cards" being the live performances their core business. The choreos not necessarily follow the song's rhythmic pattern. They mainly tend to explain the lyrics. I believe this compilation contains all the possible performances of the song available on BD (or most of them). And it's pointless. It's like the meme: Q: "How many performances we can join in one compilation?" A: "Yes!" And that does not guarantee that you will not get blocked. The Kami Band is formed by a group of session musicians, the best you can find (or money can pay). They have their own projects besides BABYMETAL. There is also a second set of the Kami Band added in 2019 formed by American musicians.

[@raid7752]

When the Queen want the wall of death, she gets it. BABYMETAL= I'm SO FUCKING CONFUSED, BUT IN A GOOD WAY!!! Dual guitar intro, who does not love that. Here is a girl from Japan who learns to speak English for her fans!!! I mean what's not to love about BABYMETAL.......

[@martinmetal7481]

Being there when this is sung is great 👍 many have said in comments . The Live in Japan version is the ultimate version . if you want emotion, watch that one just for yourself . I still tear up to that one after countless times watching it 😢 😁🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼

[@Marty-Metal]

excellent content Septa-Metal and SOARE-METAL, the drummers for BABYMETAL have to be beast, Hidecki Aoyama is nicknamed "the Machine" and Anthony Barone has gravity blast beats second to none, and they have a hand full of other drummers that fill in occasionally. at the Legend Metal Galaxy shows day 2, they hand 2 Kami Bands on stage together to end the show as well as all 3 Avengers.

[@autohmae]

The way how Babymetal choreography is created is: the moves serve two purposes, they have things like: throwing up the arms to let the audience know to do the same. Then the other part is: the moves are an interpretation of the lyrics. Almost like sign language. This means it doesn't matter as much how many blast beats their are, the moves will still fit the song.

[@autohmae]

Also, if you want insight into the mind of a choreographer and use Babymetal as an example, see the KZbin channel: xiaouiris

[@SuMetalAreQueen]

There's a video of him made by Yamaha Drums his name is Aoyama Hideki and he's a god!

Thank you so much!!! We appreciate you🤘🦊🔥 Stay Metal!!! 🦊🔥🤘🦖

[@includenull]

The band that plays with BABYMETAL at live shows are session musicians so they are not always the same lineup, but the most consistent members are: BOH (Bass) Takayoshi Ohmura (Guitar) Leda Cygnus (Guitar) ISAO (Guitar) Fujioka Mikio (Guitar) - passed away in 2018 Aoyama Hideki (Drums) There is also the Kami Band of the west that has played with BABYMETAL on their more recent overseas tours. Chris Kelly (Guitar) CJ Masciantonio (Guitar) Clint Tustin (Bass) Anthony Barone (Drums) There is a great video of Takayoshi Ohmura playing his song The Hill of Wisteria at one of his own shows along with Mikio, BOH, and Hideki. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3LJi3uVrcl8jqc

[@Taber01]

the emotional moment happened when they made it to the Tokyo Dome, which is pretty much the top for an artist in Japan. They played it 2 days in a row at 55,000 fans each night

[@Jordan-Ramses]

They had a lot of moments. Budokan is a big deal too. It had to be cool for Yui to perform in Paris on her 15th birthday. And Moa to perform for her 15th in Germany. Moa has said she loves Germany.

[@Taber01]

@@Jordan-Ramses i was referring to that one where Moa tears up in the video

[@Jordan-Ramses]

@@Taber01 ahh

[@autohmae]

The performance with all the sweat was from a venue which was really hot, it's not because it's so late in the set. They are extremely fit. That said, Babymetal shows are limited in length because of it. A smaller show, expect it to be 1 hour. And bigger shows are stretched to 90 minutes, by using more introduction videos between songs to give them a breather. Babymetal now has a western Kami band as well. The drummer Anthony has some great playtrouogh videos on his KZbin channel, please react to: Anthony Barone // BENEATH THE MASSACRE - Rise of the Fearmonger (Official Drum Playthrough)

[@silly_programme5061]

"it's not because it's so late in the set" That was the last song in the set at that show though

Maybe you should watch the beginners guide to Babymetal. By Cryptic misery. There are a few he has done , but the best lasts for around 40 minutes and takes you from the very beginning right through to the pandemic year. There will be spoilers for future reactions , but is well worth watching . 🦊🦊💥🦊🦊

[@septasoareousrex]

We are so down😤🤘🦊🦖

[@AldoGuerraALDO-METAL]

First time visitor here. 9 year OG fan. 20 concerts under my belt. Came here thinking this would be another silly reaction with no substance or a fake over-reaction, but I'm happy to say I was wrong. When you started talking about the choreography and then the lyrics and talking about poetic substance in music, DUDE! You get it!! You got me all emotional when you quoted Dave Grohl. I really like your in depth review and discussion of the song, the band, choreography, lyrics. Btw, BABYMETAL concerts are 12-14 songs. About an hour and half at most. The musicians are just session musicians hired by the Producers. Although they are very well known in Japan, they are virtually unknown anywhere else. Although they have a rotating roster of musicians throughout their history, there are some notable regulars that seem to always be in some form of lineup. The most regular Japanese musicians are BOH on six string bass, Takayoshi Ohmura guitar, Mikio Fujioka guitar (RIP), Leda Cygnus guitar, ISAO Fujita guitar, Yuya Maeta drums, Hideki Aoyama drums, among at least 13 others. Not to mention the Western Kami Band, Anthony Barone - drums Chris Kelly - guitar CJ Masciantonio - guitar Clint Tustin - bass

[@septasoareousrex]

[@Wombatmetal]

Who creates the choreography has shifted over the years. In the beginning, Mikiko was the choreographer who taught the girls the steps. These days, Moa comes up with steps to the songs, and Mikiko comes into the studio, and the girls show them the steps they have come up with. Then Mikiko spends a couple days working with the girls to refine the steps into a final routine.

[@silly_programme5061]

Yeah I'm gonna need a source on that one bro

[@Wombatmetal]

@@silly_programme5061 Well that's an insulting way to put it. The source is Mikiko Mizuno. In 2016 or so she was on J-Melo, and she was working with three girls from Morning Musume, and taught them part of a Perfume routine. After they practiced and did the dance, there was a question and answer period. The girls asked how long it takes Perfume to learn a routine, and Mikiko replied 3 hours. Perfume comes in and is shown the steps, they practice for 3 hours, and they are ready to go. Then the girls asked Mikiko how long it took Babymetal, and Mikiko said 2-3 days. Mikiko comes into the studio, see what the girls have come up with, and over the next couple of days fine tunes it into the final choreography in collaboration with Babymetal. When they appeared on Songs of Tokyo, Moa said in the interview "I always bring in steps like Ballet to give the dance cool elements." There you have it

[@Wombatmetal]

@@silly_programme5061 Meta Taro is a perfect example. We know the girls were marching and swinging their arms in the studio during the recording. This all shows how brilliant a choreographer Mikiko is, working with her artists as individuals

[@silly_programme5061]

@@Wombatmetal After some searching, I found Mikiko's appearance with three MM members (including Riho) on J-Melo, but it was in late 2014 and the only mention of BM I saw was when they were talking about what groups Mikiko works with at the beginning. As for Moa mentioning borrowing elements from different styles of dances, there's no indication there that she's the primary choreographer, and since Mikiko has always been named as their primary choreographer in every other mention, I'm hesitant to believe that's changed. You'd think that if Moa were doing the choreography, they'd be doing a little more to advertise that fact, because it'd be a selling point for the Moa stans, similar to how they credited Su for the lyrics to Shingeki.

[@Wombatmetal]

@@silly_programme5061 MM were regular parts of the show and were on segments all the time. It's out there, year could be wrong, and I don't remember if Riho was involved because she was not on my radar then. I do think it was later than 2014 because I did not get J-Melo on my cable in 2014. But it's real

[@BlackArr0w]

You want to do some good research on them? What's better than reacting to a good guide? There is the "Everything you need to know about Babymetal" by Crypticmisery that's quite good! It's over 40 minutes long, but don't worry we wukk watch it with you! But! Before watching the guide, you need to react to "Babymetal Death" live at Legends 1997! Because otherwise the guide will ruin that reaction for you :D
