The first time I heard this song was the moment everything clicked, and I realized that Babymetal as a group works because Suzuka Nakamoto is a certified bad-ass. She leaves you zero room for doubting whether she has the talent and skill to front a metal band.

This song is one of my absolute favourites. I love the play with time signatures and the cool, haunting mood. But most of all I love the melody of the chorus, it's quite complex, but also has this hauntingly beautiful mood. Even without understanding the lyrics, you can feel that the theme must be a little darker than BABYMETAL's usual uplifting lyrics.

Welcome back to the Foxhole.🦊🤘🔥 I could swear i saw you reacting to this song before, maybe it's a clip took from a stream? Maybe I'm confused with another duo. Anyway always glad to see you're back once again with another suggestion over a song composed by YuppeMetal (aka Yuyoyuppe), you'll hear more songs from him, he's also behind "Karate", the arrangements of Megitsune (you already saw) and more new songs from latest album like 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. You already know some of them from your previous reaction, such 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 first live premiere of this song and she's dancing and performing like she already did a dozen times before, like a pro. Also she's showing some fierceness here dancing on that high dangerous 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 - Amore live at Wembley Arena 2016. And of course the rest of the girls under a subgroup called "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". Although i would love to keep digging into early era songs i think is time to meet new songs from the new album The Other One before the year ends. Next suggestion: - METALIZM official MV, so far none of the new songs at official is getting blocked issues, so don't worry about it. Kitsune up and see you next time guys.🦊🤘🔥

Welcome back and great reaction, thanks! Yes, you are right, this sounds amazing. Their whole performance at the Budokan 2014 (my first BABYMETAL Blu-ray) and particularly Su-metal's solos, was what made me a die-hard fan. My story about becoming a fan (from being a typical metalhead) was roughly like this: phase 1: initial shock because of the vocals, the dance aspect and the juxtaposition with the heavy instrumentals. Phase 2: increasing interest because of the Kami Band's members incredible skills. And phase 3: becoming a huge fan because of Su-metal. I know it's more complex than that, but it's a fair summary. 😊 "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 from. Finally, she gives up and asks the entity to show its real nature. Until next time! 🤘🦊

Welcome back, its been too long. Great reaction. This is one of 4 Su-metal solos, two on each of the first two albums. The others are 'Akatsuki', 'Amore' and 'No Rain, No Rainbow'. Yui and Moa would get a break while Su performed those - Su would get a break when Yui and Moa performed one of their duets - they were called Black BABYMETAL for those and they also had two on each of the first two albums (4 No Uta' or Song 4, Onedari Daisakusen', 'GJ' and 'Sis Anger'). The Kami Band intro here is called 'Mischiefs of the Metal Gods'. In order of solos - Leda Cygnus (blue guitar), Takayoshi Ohmura (gold guitar), BOH (6 string bass) and Hideki Aoyama (drums). There can't be many 16 year olds who could follow that intro and then just take over the whole stage and arena the way Su did. I understand rondo is a musical term denoting a repeated theme - something like that anyway. I believe they borrowed the term for the title of this song as Su is caught in a recurring nightmare, being chased through the darkness by something she can't see. Eventually she hides, but it is still coming closer. Knowing there is no escape she asks that if she is to die won't it at least reveal itself to her. This was early March 2014. They played two nights at the Budokan in Tokyo (think the equivalent of Carnegie Hall or Madison Square Garden - it is the place all Japanese artists aspire to play), Red Night and Black Night, becoming the youngest average age female band ever to headline there. They had just released their first album - they sold out both nights. 🤘🦊🤘 They were back at the Budokan as part of their 10th anniversary celebration and played 10 shows over the first 3 or 4 months of 2021.

Kamiband : We're gonna blow your minds with our awesome solos! Sumetal : Hold my matcha latte.... Love watching the drummer Hideki in this, when the camera pan to him in the beginning, he looks like he's just casually drumming and not responsible for the machine like pounding in the background with the double kicks. Most singers might get intimidated having to follow the spectacular performance by the Kamiband, but 16yr old Su just gets up there, and shows you why Babymetal was built around her. 🤘🦊🤘

Thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。I am very surprised that you had not reacted to this song yet until today. This is one of the songs that I am longing for their revivals by New BABYMETAL. "Rondo" is a musical form with a recurring leading theme. I can't tell how many times I have viewed this video. It is literally a rondo of happy dream for me. Kamis' (=Gods') super solos were excellent enough as a main event in the show, but once the 16-year-old Queen (as of 2014) emerged from the underground, she colored everything differently with her penetrating voice then turned Kami Band's plays into a ritual to summon her.

This performance was filmed live at the famous Nippon Budokan arena, which was built for the martial arts events of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. They always perform in the round at this venue because it is octagonal shaped so they come up with some interesting stage designs, although I don't think any of the Budokan set ups have been as elaborate as the one they did for Tokyo Dome 2016, which was something else.

Thanks for your reaction to this; a good reaction. There is a lot going on in this song. And I assure you, you'll still be picking up new things after listening to it many, many times later. As a classical/electrical guitar, flute, and bad keyboard player, the musicians here astound me every time. But I'd like to point out a few things that few people seem to pick up on in recent reviews. 1) The drums. We don't hear many drum solos in modern music. But this is SO overlooked. The guy is a machine and a massively tallented musician. 2) Su's composure. She has an undeniable massive vocal talent. But being elevated on that small stage would freak the heck out of me. Let alone needing to move about on it in time with the music while still managing perfectly composed vocal. Just wow. So thanks for a good reaction and making me re-watch this performance 😊.

"Rondo of Nightmare" is probably the most serious BM song. It's about fighting against depression and at the end losing the fight. I *suppose* it's an allusion and a homage to Yui and her health problems. Watch Su's gestures and the light show under this aspect (e.g. at the end Su is "captured" in a cage formed by the spotlights).

In reference to your thoughts around 8:30 ish, I'd say it's "unbridled power" followed by "controlled power" in a way that exploits that contrast to good effect. Not to say the instrumental is *not* controlled, but that it gives that effect in contrast to the vocals. Edit: 11:50 ish "What I like about the mix....sorry, I'm rambling but..." -- so uhh, do ramble more! That's literally the premise of a "reaction" video, is it not? Obviously every jurisdiction will have different laws regarding "fair use" and such, but it's probably a fair general rule that the more you add to / "transform" the content you're reacting to the better chance it has to not be considered copyright infringement. KZbin's implementation of copyright enforcement might not care, I guess; I actually don't know. What I do know is that when I watch videos like this I'm far more likely to watch more videos from that channel when the creators express insights into the content which I may not have realized myself.
