I never noticed it during recording but Sam subconsciously did the sign of the fox god.....a new convert??

Anyone is welcome! The One is always happy to gain members lol! Especially if they are able to appreciate the appeal BABYMETAL has, even if it isn't anything they are used to! Yay!

I'm worried if you continue, his music direction would change to metal🤣would like to know his opinion as a rapper on BxMxC tho

[@raycollins511]

you forgot to mention to your friend that Su was 16 years old and the other two were 14. it is still amazing how young girls can control a crowd like this and get them to do what they want. found Babymetal in late 2013 and cant go a day without listening to them. i finally got to see them live at the Forum in 2019 and loved it. this is a band you have to see live and to hear live to truly appreciate them. the production is unlike any other band out there. and you cant help but feel happy after listening to them.

[@es4941]

I myself just discovered them at the end of 2019. I wish I had been there in the earlier years. Honestly at first I was like what the hell is this. But then a minute later I was absolutely in love. They truly do bring something that's been missing from metal. I also have pretty much not even listened to anything else except them since I discovered them.

[@Kmudaify]

There it is.... "The Babymetal Smile". It's inevitable. You cannot watch Babymetal without developing that smile. Even if you don't like Babymetal, that smile is going to happen. It's what makes Babymetal special.

[@road-runner]

Good job.... and great reaction, thanks! He wasn't ready... no one is! Hehe... But I have always said that "Headbanger" and specially this live performance is one of the best options to introduce someone to BABYMETAL. And this is the proof :) A perfect combination of BABYMETAL's main strengths: stage presence, live vocals and band, crazy crowd and a flawless production. And being this one a kind of rocker, the genre of the song also helps. Well done not mentioning "anime"... nah, I don't care :) Happy Fox Day!! Until next time!

[@crimson0119]

I'm sure the Babymetal fans will be recommending BxMxC for your friend to react to, but I think iine is a nice way to go.... It's such a mind blowing mix.... Should it work? Not really... Does it work? Yes.....Its such a fun WTF experience..... Hope you and your friend does a few more.

[@saundrawilliams8037]

Just want to correct and fully explain that BABYMETAL are not/were never a marketing experiment. Yes, they were formed as an experimental group by their producer Kobayashi Kei (Koba-metal), but it was solely a passion project. In fact, the parent company, Amuse, had no interest in BABYMETAL from the start and gave them absolutely no extra budget. The only (very small) budget they did have was due to them being a part of the Idol Group Sakura Gakuin(SG), and that barely amounted to them having time slots in the SG live shows and equipment expenses. They literally had to borrow their first outfits for the live shows. It wasn't until BABYMETAL started garnering attention and gaining bigger and bigger crowds that Amuse finally decide to back them up and give them funding. For the first 2 years or so, they didn't even have a live band. And it's not their live band that makes the music. A very dedicated team of writers and composers, and a very strict Koba-metal, are they people behind the music. Now, this doesn't mean that the live band, Kamiband, isn't important, as all fan will tell you they very much are! But, I just wanted to clarify and give you the right information, as some BABYMETAL fan are overly zealous and the "marketing experiment" remark could just set them off. You even said it later (after your friends comment) that you're glad he realized they they weren't just a cash grab. This is true! Even if the girls themselves aren't the ones making the music, real love goes into every aspect of their songs, and the Kamiband and girls MAKE the music lol! Kitsune dao! \m/

[@thewolfeden4766]

Amazing explanation!! Thank you so much for sharing this important context :)

[@Grington300]

I was going to write a comment along the same lines - I couldn't have explained that better.

@@Grington300 if one of my BABYMETAL gurus approve, then I'm satisfied lol!

[@outwest1014]

Their trip to Singapore for a Anime festival performance was a major wake up call to Amuse and the Japanese media. Their performance was a smashing success and they drew large crowds for autographs and photos. And it put them on TV shows, who weren't sure how to explain 15 and 14 yo girls being major idols.

[@KenjaTimu]

@@thewolfeden4766 - I love that you showed Babymetal to a friend. They're so unique it makes me want to show them to everybody. But one small correction. Babymetal wasn't a marketing thing. They already had the girls. They added Metal music to them. That makes it less marketable. Especially in Japan. I think it was more of a passion project. It makes sense. I understand why people assume that. They assume that the girls were added to a Metal band. But that isn't what happened. It was the other way around. The metal band was added to the girls. Here is a video of their third ever performance as Babymetal. There is no band. It's only the girls. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpanmKyrbqqorac&ab_channel=pekecha

Great reaction and well done for introducing Sam to BABYMETAL the right way ... you are doing the Fox God's work, keep it up. I'm looking forward to whatever you show him next.

[@rajeevmenon769]

BABYMETAL is a genre on its own. Love and Respect only❤️🦊🤘🔥

[@Codametal]

I can't believe no one's recommended Sam should watch Road of Resistance live in Japan? If you want to see crowd control, that's the one. And yes, I also listen to them every day. It brightens my day in this age of pandemic.

Great video, Sam certainly gets it!

[@TheWTZ1983]

That's what music is about, if one is that kind of person who does a music or doesn't close the mind in a box, then for such a person it's impossible to not respect what these girls and the musicians behind them do, no matter your background or preferences cause if you even don't like it you will always can recognize when something is a good piece of an art ✌️

[@hardencrater5142]

Songwriting, dynamics, sound effects (such as the wailing siren), just perfect. Emotional music, a classic ^^

[@Slytherkins]

Dude, Sam's beard is fucking majestic.

[@stevechevy3382]

Nice reactions guys. I like seeing Headbanger as the first reaction because its a song about a girl going to her first concert at age 15. So it's very relatable your first time with this song and the girls first time at a concert. Babymetal knows how to put on a show. They got some epic songs and Epic shows to go along with them. As Su said "Don't Think, Feel". Get lost in the moment, it's the only time you'll have it.

[@docmetal8194]

More than a new convert, Sam was quite possibly inhabited by the FOX GOD! Why Sam & why today you ask? Seriously!? Because April 1st is FOX DAY!! "What is Fox Day? It's a special day BABYMETAL, I mean the FOX GOD, created back in late 2015 which happens every April 1st. Every year there are special announcements or releases on Fox Day." As examples, I believe BABYMETAL has announced at least a partial summer tour schedule. Also that they're releasing a single that's a collaboration with DREAMCATCHER. Arigatou! 🦊🤘 #notacult

[@lonniehockenbury1244]

Great job! Love to hear his react to Pa pa ya and BxMxC.

Would also love your take on Rondo of Nightmare with the mischiefs of the Gods intro.

[@jeremyboynowski3784]

You guys mentioned you don't understand what they are singing about, but the thing is Su-metal actually says she wants you to FEEL the music. So you guys were involuntarily doing what she wants you to do :) And I agree with what somebody said in the comments, you guys should listen to road of resistance.

This is my all time fave BM song....great reaction. Welcome to the Fox Hole to your rapper friend

[@BlackArr0w]

There are 3 songs with Rap in it in some way or another... you could try to make him react in order to these Music Videos: "Iine" (that's a capital i, not an L :D ), "Pa-Pa-Ya", and their latest one "BxMxC"!

[@chrisharris1522]

Yep I think Sam would really like Pa Pa Ya for the whole song as well as the rapping in it, probably BxMxC as well

Ah BabyMetal you got it all, Stage Presence Talent, They all can singand play some sore of instrument , crowd control.. How many singers at 17 had a crowd forming a wall of death with just a circular motion of her finger?? different vid(road of resistance live japan).. and the youngers girls had crowds jumping when they were 13??14??.. And Su's deathglare/stare. ....

[@armitage9]

Hello. Good reaction from your friend. It's funny when he said that it shows that there is money in the organization of the concert. This was the first concert where they could afford to have a live band in 5 songs. The rest of the songs and previous concerts had actors playing musicians and the music was prerecorded (something very common in idol bands, where the center of attention is them or them and their dances). From this concert, the Kamiband became the official band for all live events. I think our new friend would like to react to BxMxC. I think that when the song is in a language that you do not understand, the song becomes one more instrument and you value it as such, since the depth of the lyrics cannot reach you

[@rickwagner-]

There were a few more Babybones appearances after this in 2013 and 2014, such as 'LIVE IN SINGAPORE' (their first solo show overseas), some TV appearances, and their "Two Man Show" with ChthoniC in Taiwan. The Kami Band were introduced back in October 2012 at 'Legend I' with a two song encore of 'Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!' and 'Ijime Dame Zettai'. Folks are often surprised how long the Baby Bones and Kami Band overlapped.

Babymetal is unique and different from any metal band out there. You cannot categories Babymetal into a specific genre of metal because they have everything in their arsenal and fuse Metal with Jpop elements. Babymetal is not your typical Metal band. They are one of a kind. Kitsune Up 🦊🦊🦊🤟
