Thanksgiving for Babymetal: A Concert Reaction

[@garytruex9336]

What a Great Dad!

[@TheAtheisMexican]

@@garytruex9336 thank you so much!

[@Grington300]

Excellent video, review, travelogue and whatever else it was, I really enjoyed watching the whole thing, thank you. I'm so glad the journey, two flights each way, expense and everything else (even coping with the pain of your gout, ouch!) were so worth doing and it does sound like you all had a great time - not least your daughter. Great costume by the way, compliments to the designer and seamstress.👏🦊 It is stories like yours that are keeping me going while I wait for the end of May next year to come round when I'll get to see BABYMETAL again, but this time at the O2 in London (not quite as much of a journey for me as getting to Cincinnati was for you).🦊

[@TheAtheisMexican]

@@Grington300 I will be sure to tell Tiffany your kind words regarding her costuming for Scarlet! It was a marvelous trip and one that I will keep in my heart for strength going forward. Also, I must say that the length of the journey only supplemented how special it was altogether. My toe is beginning its healing process. I wish I could go to that London show. I hope to hear about Poppy.

[@Eliimore93]

I'm not a kid person, honestly, but melts my heart to see such a little girl enjoying so much the concert emphasizing how BABYMETAL is for literally everyone. Thanks a lot for share your experience! Kitsune da o! 🦊

[@TheAtheisMexican]

Honestly, not so much me either. I never intended to become a dad, but I got lucky with a pretty good one!

[@The_Dudester]

I strongly feel that if you have a daughter, niece or granddaughter between the ages of 8 to 16, taking her to a Babymetal concert is earning the eternal respect of said child.

[@michelm.6033]

This is actually one of my favorite vlog’s. I have so much to say about Babymetal from young to old, but bringing your daughter into the experience was priceless. Fans say they are for 8 to 80 year olds and they are correct! Sadly I,’m closer to the 80’s, but these ladies always put a smile on my face. Please forget about the politics. I wish you the happiest of holidays. ❤️🦊

[@TheAtheisMexican]

Your comment is so sweet, and I was so happy at the show just taking note of the diverse collection of fans there. I have been going to these kinds of shows for decades (46 years old now), and and the fans of different stripes is such a sweet thing. Thank you so much for making my day! Regarding the politics, it is hard to forget when the lives of me, my family members, and so many close to me are in danger now. I'm not sure where to go about that from this point, because I have no wish to be just one more voice for vitriol on the internet. I just want to be kind, but I am scared!

[@michelm.6033]

You are very kind and music is an venue to bring everyone closer. That sentiment is only multiplied when it covers Babymetal. This was seriously an enjoyable vlog and I wish you nothing but the brightest future. Your daughter actually reminded me of their Sakura Gakuin days. I’m thankful for the reminder. I enjoyed it.

[@TheAtheisMexican]

@@michelm.6033 omigosh! I will tell her you said that!

[@TheFoxGod444]

What an awesome father. I enjoyed your presentation and I being in my 60’s would probably choose the balcony for my next BabyMetal concert. Monochrome is one of my favorite songs as well, and was fortunate enough to have that played at the Seattle concert last year.

[@autohmae]

Thanks for this video, glad it went well. Glad you had your family day with Babymetal and were able to connect with other fans. Those 2 things are part of what makes Babymetal special in my eyes. I think an other proof how Babymetal fans are happier on average. 14:32 they also place markings, at first I thought that is what you meant ? This is how they position themselves on the stage, they use it as a reference (if they need it, or just at the start of the song). If you read 1 of the interviews with Kobametal he said a lot of the people he worked with in 2020 had to quit the live industry because most people in that industry are self-employed and obviously without any gigs... no gig economy. An prices of capable people and equipment, etc. went through the roof (just check out Tank the Tech talking about touring busses to get some idea). I do honestly think the sound person/people Babymetal now have are have a harder time adapting to the different venues, maybe it's because they play at bigger venues, or they are less experienced, I don't know. But like the Kami band from the West, they made a lot of progress and are now at a very close level to the previous people. The worst mixes I've heard are from the European festivals, no idea why that is. Babymetal has performed at festivals before and they have less of a language barrier now then in the past. In South America they did have 2 shows where they performed both Monochrome and Karate. All I can say from Europe, about the fear: we suffer more often in imagination than in reality - better to fight for the good things and deal with the other things only after they actually happen so you aren't fearful or angry or sad because of things that could happen.

[@schelin1447]

BABYMETAL is really one of a kind band. They are already legends! I'm glad you had a great time with your family and BABYMETAL

[@TheAtheisMexican]

We just listened to them all the way up to my aunts house for Thanksgiving!

[@杉本明彦-s3w]

Thank you so much for uploading an awesome video ! 🤘✨🦊✨ From 🇯🇵

[@TheTeufelpanzerVI]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! Sounds like you all had a great time...especially your daughter! Hang in there and you have much to offer, you are also a very good speaker...I think that is a good place to start. Kitsune up, my friend!

[@TheAtheisMexican]

@@TheTeufelpanzerVI Kitsune! This is an extremely kind and thoughtful comment. I am humbled and grateful.

[@IAMisLove]

👍Awesome, thanks for sharing your journey. I recently saw them live myself, will never forget it.🦊 🖖❤

[@TheAtheisMexican]

@@IAMisLove thank you so much for watching and commenting! I saw them in 2016 before I really knew them or any of their songs so it was so good to see them now that I am a fox god acolyte!

[@IAMisLove]

@@TheAtheisMexican Subscribed. I will recommend this performance if you haven't seen it. It is a favorite of mine. ONE OK ROCK - Stand Out Fit In [Orchestra Ver.] Wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving. 🦊 🖖❤

[@TheAtheisMexican]

@@IAMisLove right back at you! And thank you for the recommendations!

[@seanmurphy1047]

What an awesome show it was! The community at that show was something I hadn't experienced at any other concerts. Even though I had gone alone, as soon I was in line everyone was chatting and having a good time. Glad you guys had a great time!

[@TheAtheisMexican]

Wasn’t the atmosphere of the line great!?

[@road-runner]

Thanks for sharing this with us! That seemed like a hell of a heavy trip.... pun intended, sorry. 🤭 I've done crazy things myself to see them live during the last 1.5 years. Things I never though possible to do. But I guess I'm not the same person anymore. And the people I have met in the process is just the best part of it. I can't wait to see them live (and meet my friends again) during their next arena tour in Europe next year; I'm going to Madrid, Barcelona (my hometown) and London. 🤘🦊

[@TheAtheisMexican]

You know it’s great when it is community on top of music! Or really community is part of what makes music great!

[@ENTE-METAL]

Thank you so very much. Forever THE ONE. Greetings from germany 🤗🤘🦊🤘

[@jaedo6180]

The greatest Thanksgiving story ever told!😂 Dude, Allopurinol! A pill a day and you will never have gout again. With insurance, I pay $12 for a 3 month supply.👍

[@1jzMKIII]

Best Mom and Dad Ever!!!! I saw them in Madison Wisconsin, and SQ's mix was the same... I was ok with it as Hanna dominated the set and the mix didn't matter. Babymetal's mix was pretty much on point... Being a FOH Tech myself... SU's Voice would be hard to make "thick" If you listen very close, in some parts you will hear a backing track that is in a lower octave... It helps get her voice out. But Su's voice is live 99% of the time. I also was hyped to Hear Momoko's live Voice behind the "Are you Ready" Growl track!!! We had a 12 year old Girl next to us and she screamed most of the show... She came up to me when it was over and apologized for being so excited... I told her she made my show!!! I told the parents that they were awesome for taking her and letting her be herself... That's what Rock shows are all about. Great Video, Thanks for posting and being SUPER DAD!!! your daughter will never forget this. She is a lucky girl to have you guys as parents!!!

[@10Shun]

Thanks for posting this video...Humanity will be saved by headbanging daughters like yours 😎 Subscribed because you deserve it more than anyone for being a great dad 🙂

Wonderful vlog - thanks for sharing. Babymetal is such a joy. 🤘🦊

[@thenormalman3409]

Great review, glad to see you guys having fun.

[@jennistropes7515]

I love seeing you and your family having so much fun enjoying this show. In a way, this is the big middle finger to everything horrible. An “eff you, I’m going to live my life amazingly,” which is in itself pretty damn punk. So glad you all had a great time. 🤘🤘🤘

[@TheAtheisMexican]

You know what I love? YOU!!!! Happy Thanksgiving

[@DjentleAnt]

06:38 Thank you!!! You are so considerate for keeping the other little girl's picture off your vlog. I'm sure her parents are grateful, too👍 Nice vlog by the way

[@BxMxC-w8l]

すばらしいご家族です❣🤘

[@MarcosGamasp3]

babymetal vai trazer muita gente pro metal ainda e estou feliz por isso ^^ só acho que o publico em sua maioria podia interagir mais com elas assim como foi aqui na america do sul e principalmente no brasil ^^ quem quiser ver tem videos no youtube show dia 21/10 sao paulo audioclub ^^

[@TheAtheisMexican]

Olá e obrigado! Meu espanhol e meu português são mais ruins. É triste falar inglês aqui! I love that you mentioned the participation. I watched the Sao Paula show many times, and thought about it when it was not so strong here in the USA. But yes--more metalheads!

[@RODRIEUROMANIAKO]

May the fox god bless you

[@kylec1411]

Hey brother. Great video. You seem like a good man and father. Love light and Jesus be with you. You said you filled your void with music which i did for many years too. Hope you find your way to Jesus my friend. Sweet little daughter you got. Love babymetal. Much love from Canada
