⚡ / 🔥 😱 🔥 That was a sixteen year old Su crushing that performance. She premiered the song the night before, at Budokan Red Night. Rondo is easily in my top five BABYMETAL songs. Su performed three solos that night. She did 'No Rain, No Rainbow', followed by 'Akatsuki' earlier in the set. Yui and Moa (as Black BABYMETAL) did two songs without Su ('4 no Uta' and 'Onedari Daisakusen'), and they all performed a bunch of songs together. That Black Night Budokan concert from March 2014 is still one of my favorite BABYMETAL concerts. Not only is Su brave enough to sing and dance on a tiny elevated platform in the dark, but she is also fearless enough to follow those amazing Kami Band solos.

Good one, thanks! "Rondo of Nightmare" is probably their darkest song lyrically. It's about Su being trapped into an endless nightmare, without any chance to escape, where she's chased by a dark entity as she tries to run away and hide. Finally she asks the entity to reveal its real nature before giving up. It's one of Su-metal's four solo songs. Her other solos are: "Akatsuki", "No Rain No Rainbow" and "Amore". This was just the second time they performed it live (the first one was just the previous night at the same venue) and Su-metal, being 16 at the time, was standing by herself on a relatively small and elevated platform, without any safety and probably not being able so see a thing due to the spotlight. This is so freaking metal! Next one... what about a Black BABYMETAL song? (a sub-unit formed by Yui and Moa without Su). So, you can go for "Sis. Anger" (probably their heaviest song instrumentally). 🤘🦊

Great reaction. The Kami Band do get the occasional chance to show off with their instrumental intros (of course you will hear them shredding etc throughout the songs as well). This was the Kami Band of the East and the Budokan Red and Black Night concerts in March 2014 were the concerts where they became the full time support for all of BABYMETAL's live concerts. They were being phased in playing a couple of festivals and the encores in some shows for the previous 18 months. Guitarists here were Leda Cygnus and Takayoshi Ohmura. Bassist was BOH, drummer Hideki Aoyama. Other Kami Band East guitarists you will see in other live performances will be Mikio Fujioka (RIP Jan 2018) and ISAO. In 2019 the Kami Band of the West was introduced to support BABYMETAL on the lengthy foreign tours and they have been ever present for all shows since April 2023. They are guitarists Chris Kelly and CJ Masciantonio, bassists Clint Tustin or Ryan Neff and drummer Anthony Barone. The Budokan in Tokyo is a martial arts arena built for the 1964 Olympics, but is now also the most prestigious venue for concerts (think Carnegie Hall or Madison Square Garden levels of prestige). It is where all Japanese and many foreign artists aspire to play - a tiny minority ever get there. BABYMETAL became the youngest average age female band ever to headline - they sold it out 2 nights running. Su was 16, Yui and Moa were both 14. They were back at the Budokan in 2021 playing 10 concerts to celebrate their 10th anniversary. Not many vocalists would want to follow that Kami Band intro - 16 year old Su not only followed it, she took over the whole arena singing and dancing up on her raised platform. Yui and Moa were getting a break as this is one of Su's solo songs ... and yes, no pop in this one. They do everything and they mix so many different musical styles with the metal.

It's great when reactors praise the Kami band, but not if they ignore or downplay the girls. Even though members of the original Japanese Kami band were in bands outside of Babymetal, they never played this hard or loud until they became Babymetal's band. They said at first they asked Koba (Babymetals creator/producer) if they should tone it down in case they overpowered the young singers voice. Koba told them to play as loud and hard as possible.

Glad you're enjoying Babymetal! The venue is the world-famous Budokan. It originally hosted the judo competition for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics and has since become a renowned performance arena thanks in part to its acoustics. Playing Budokan is by invitation only, so only top acts get the opportunity to perform there. The show Rondo is part of is Budokan Black Night, one of Babymetal's best shows. Can't go wrong with it! As for what's next, Road of Resistance Live in Japan feels obvious to me. It was co-written by Dragonforce's Herman Li. It's from the same time period as Rondo and shows Su-metal's incredible crowd control skills as a teenager.

Baby metal has always been backed up by some of the world’s best musicians. Here we have the Eastern Kami Band. When they started touring Europe and North America more they hired another set of musicians known as the Western Kami Band. The Western Band has taken over in the last few years. Initially the Kami Band was supposed to be anonymous. In Babymetal lore, the Fox God sent the Kami Band to protect and guide the girls. But the fans were so impressed with the band that there are now several BM videos with Kami Band intros. BM shows are so exhausting that they came up with songs that only Su sings to give Moa and Yui a time to rest. They also have a handful of songs that Yui and Moa (known as Black Babymetal) do to give Su time to rest.

Welcome back to the Foxhole.🦊🤘🔥 Thanks for coming back with this great suggestion. As you can see this is not the usual happy BM song. It's one of the many songs composed by YuppeMetal (aka Yuyoyuppe), he's also behind Karate, Kagerou, the arrangements of Megitsune, Headbanger!! Night Of The 15 Mix (only the mix) and more new songs from latest album such Monochrome and Believing. _"Akumu No Rondo"_ (or Rondo Of Nightmare) combines not only heaviness with dark waltz and dope time signatures changes but also delicate and fragile elegance that makes you want to grab your inception kit and go to rescue this 16 yo queen from this nightmare. Temporarily title song was "Kill The Alice" so it is like Alice but instead of Wonderland she's trapped in a nightmare trying to escape and avoid some evil entity. Rondo is a musical form in which you can hear a repetitive pattern, an example of this could be the song "Blue Rondo a la Turk". The Kami Band is doing their second magnificent intro of the night with their own set called "Mischiefs Of Metal Gods". They become regular after this special live at Budokan 2014 and leaving baby-bones, from early shows, behind, shout-out to them thou. They're Takayoshi Ohmura on guitars, BOH on bass and Hideki Aoyama on drums, this time Leda Cygnus is the first guitar. This was the day (night) after the live premiere of this song and she's dancing and performing like she already did a dozen times before, totally a pro. Also she's showing some fierceness here dancing on that dangerous high mini stage with no wire and that's how she keeps winning everyone's heart. But not everything was perfect here despite their impeccable performance and sound, and the day before the girls face that dangerous challenge on the stage, taking their own revenge after coming back in 2021 to celebrate their 10 years and leaving those ghosts behind, fortunately. Like i said, YuppeMetal is the one behind this song and he took inspiration from "Protest The Hero - Bloodmeat" song, of course i recommend you to hear that blaster song. Thanks for sharing this wonderful SuMetal solo and my favorite along with "Akatsuki" (live at Budokan 2014 is another great choice) The other solos are great too and those are: - No Rain No Rainbow live at Legend S 2017, heavily blocked thou. - Amore live at Wembley Arena 2016. And of course the rest of the girls under "Black Babymetal" are enjoyable too, they're taking a break here while SuMetal is performing to come back later, so don't miss out on their other 4 songs too such: - "Onedari Daisakusen" live at Legend 1997, Gans Tomas got that clip safe to react. - "Song 4" or "4 No Uta" live at Budokan 2014. - "GJ!" live at Wembley Arena 2016 - "Sis Anger" live at Tokyo Dome 2016". Next suggestion to come back with the happy vibes and meet what they do on a traditional stage without the top notch production and lights: - Karate live at Download Festival 2016, the official MV is also cool to understand the lyrics meaning a little bit more. They already finished the Asian Tour and in October they will be at Knotfest Brazil, Argentina and Chile for the first time in South America, as well Peru with a headlining show, they will come back to the US for another tour and also Mexico will be part of that tour but this time as special guests for Slipknot, we can't wait for it.

Nice reaction. IMO Babymetals darkest song as it really is about a recurring nightmare. Chased through the night and all you can see is their fangs and claws flashing in the moonlight. You run and hide. It catches you anyway. That's the part of the song where Su is doing the marionette stance. you ask for it to reveal itself first and then you fall into the dark. Which is why the song ends suddenly like that as you wake from your nightmare. Only to have it again the next time you go to sleep. I gotta say I always hoped that never happened to any of them. But I'm told late night spicy food can do that to a person. The Kamiband are amazing. What do you do when you lead off with them soloing? The only thing you can do. Send Su-metal in. Her incredible talent and skill rise above the metal and still stands out even after the Kamiband solo. The ladies of Babymetal could have chosen any genre of music to sing. They choose the challenge of doing metal. And they do it like No one else. creating their own version of metal. Kawaii Metal. Really what else could it have been with these kawaii ladies singing? LOL Kawaii is a whole vibe in Japan. Basically, it is a cuteness. You know it when you see it. The Foxhole is deep and full of surprises.

The musicians are called the "Kami Band". "Kami" means god in Japanese, and these guys are like gods of music. They are all men and are Japan's best musicians. They are wearing (at least they did until 2017/2018) burial gowns and corpse face paint because in the BABYMETAL legend/fantasy/storyline, the "Fox God" raises the musicians from the dead and calls upon them to play the music for the girls for each concert. The 3 girls have been chosen by the "Fox God" to UNITE the world through METAL. 🤘🦊🤘

The storyline gets even better. It is h Fox God who chooses his avatars who are the Kamis. So basically anyone who is in the band is considered Kami, including all musicians used in collaborations or who guest play with them. So seeing that they have had Metallica, Chad Smith, Tim Henson, Rob Halford, Galactic Empire, Bring Me the Horizon, Herman Li, and Sam Totman play with them, they are all considered Kami.

Hell yeah dude! I’m in the same boat: I hate pop music, but Babymetal is one of my favorite bands. They take the good parts of Pop and adds the best parts of metal to it for an amazing experience. Love it. Kami East is amazing, but Kami West took over as sole backing band since Apr 2023. Yes, they been touring again since last year. They did ~100 shows last year in Asia, EU (w/ Sabaton), US (w/ Dethklok), then back to EU (Headliner). This year, they’ve been in the EU festival circuit a few months ago, Asia now, and Oct/Nov tour in US. Got my tickets to see them in Nov in DC!! Suggestions: *Catch Me If You Can (Budokan 2014):* Slipknot, but cute. *BABYMETAL DEATH (Legend 1997):* An even darker song, from Dec 2013. *Metali! (Legend MM 2024):* With Kami West intro (Babymetal’s current band), and features Tom Morello on guitar solos (although he wasn’t there live). Look forward to more Babymetal! 🤘🦊

Great reaction, thank you! For some strange reason it doesn´t show up in my search for recent BABYMETAL reactions, so I´m a bit late here... RoN is a great showcase of what Su-Metal is capable of. We call her "Queen" for several reasons, this is one of the reasons. And one of my favourite Su-Metal solo songs 😄 Kami Band East always was phenomenal. As you mentioned Slipknot: try - Catch Me If You Can (Budokan 2014) which is including a Kami Band intro, to get some more Kami Band East, and some happy (!) horror vibes😉 Kami Band West is just as good, you could do e.g. "Kagerou w/ Kami Band intro (live at Legend MM 2024)" from the Hymnodic channel (important! Please don´t use a "ProShot" or compilation video!) to listen to them. Different playing style, very much modern US metal sound, as opposed to the more slightly British/classic metal sound of the East Kamis, but fire, too! If you get a ticket for one of their concerts in November this year, snatch it! You won´t get the big arena show like they do in Japan, but trust me: they blow the roof off every venue they play. I experienced them live in a rather small venue, 4k capacity, just a small stage and some lighting there, and it was a phenomenal show!

Well in fact they are 2 entities. Babymetal are the 3 girls. Then he looked in Japan for a few Session musicians for their Japanese Live concerts and perhaps a few concerts outside of Japan. But one of the important arguments was the protection of the girls. No pne would ask why Band and singers belangen together but it might take some time till one of their handlers was with them. But after they became famous in Europe and the US koba looked for US Musicians to support them in the US and Europe. But they were bearly the same age of the girls. The girls have grown up backstage, they know their crew. They need no special protection. But the Band has a much better handle that Su is the Boss. While the old Band thought that Su might help if they have trouble with Koba, but she decided that thid is for her too complicated. She might know Koba a bit better, but he is not her husband and they grew up in Europe and the US, so don't Requiere from her sophisticated behaviour of japanese housewives.For her purposes the Kami Band West is sufficient.
