THAT was the last song in a 90 minute concert. They had THAT much energy at the end of their show after performing for 80 minutes before this. The Kami band are amazing and Hideki (the drummer) is a machine. All the Kami band have great personalities and they get their time to shine in a few songs. And you do see them crowd interact often as well. Check out more BABYMETAL. The Kami band get opening solos in a few songs. The girls.... perfection. They are true professionals and you can see they love what they do. You can hear Yui and Moa more during the entire song. They jump in more often than you think. They also are the most dynamic duo when they perform as Black BABYMETAL when Su takes a break. Then Su does her solos to allow them to take a break. The hand symbol is the Fox God. Lots of fun lore about that and how that even came to be. 🤘🦊🤘 This song/video was the third song that introduced me to the world of BABYMETAL and it made me emotional too and that sold me on these girls for life. Also, you know you are enjoying something when you didn't complain how long the video was after it was over ;)

[@athlonen]

Oh yeah, another thing. You're a bassist! If you're going down the Babymetal fox hole, your next reaction MUST be Rondo of Nightmare, with the Mischief of the Metal Gods intro. Trust me, you will love it.

Kami intro for Catch Me If You Can is pretty damn good. Then you got the western Kami into for Kagerou. If I remember correctly, there’s a Kami intro for YAVA!, also.

[@athlonen]

@@TheBongReyes Yep. Intro to Catch Me If You Can is called Wrath of the Metal Gods, while the intro to Rondo of Nightmare is Mischief of the Metal Gods. I don't think they gave the intro to Yava or Kagerou a name, though..

"Fox hole" pun intended

[@gw3993]

I love how you went from, “I don’t know if I’m sold on this yet” to literally crying and falling in love with them.

[@THEDavidHeretic]

Well I wasn't sold on them yet because of my previous 2 experiences with them. Going into this I was a little hesitant based on those other 2 experiences, but I do like to follow the old "3 strikes" rule when it comes to new bands. So this was their 3rd pitch, and they ended up hitting a home run.

[@athlonen]

No.. this isn't Budokan, but they have played there. In fact, up until BTS came along, they were the youngest group to ever play Budokan. And as you know, you have to be invited to play Budokan, so that is a huge honor. This arena was roughly 23000 people, but that isn't their largest. For that, they have actually played Tokyo Dome... yes, the big indoor baseball stadium. Tokyo Dome seats 55,000 people... they sold that out two nights in a row, so they've played to 110,000 people over 2 nights, with a different set list each night. Yes, Babymetal is the real deal.

[@Shoe-metal]

They were they youngest _female_ group to headline Budokan, which is a prestigious venue for Japanese acts to play, but is not invite-only. And this year, for their tenth anniversary, they played 10 shows at Budokan.

[@ndox9009]

90% of Babymetal songs created with crowds interaction , that's why , we as fans have our duty to do our part too. that's why Su-Metal is our Queen and Yui Metal and Moa Metal as our Princesses. when Su wants WoD she will get it before even she lift her hand , end story , no question ask .... we just do it.

As a musician playing for over 30 years and knowing how it feels when the audience feels and sings your songs, this brings me to tears when i hear the crowd so involved in the song. Just WoW...

As much as I am glad how much respect you give Su as a phenomenal front man, can we also just take a second to respect the INCREDIBLE breathwork she has, to be able to go through all that choreography and still belt those long notes out. She's genuinely cracked, it's insane.

[@emperorchopchop7726]

The 'We Are...BABYMETAL' is audience inclusive. The band writes songs especially to have crowd interaction, and the final version of any song only really exists when performed with an audience chanting their part. Everyone in the room that night was BABYMETAL!

WOW! That was not a reaction, that was a whole new experience! Thanks! Since you have already a ton of information on the comments I just wanted to point out that this was the last encore of a 95 minutes concert all performed with this level of energy. They (both the girls and the band) are totally awesome. This performance is usually described as epic for a good reason. And a final fun fact: for this music video they shortened the "WE ARE? BABYMETAL!" part to 1/4 (aprox.) of the actual length since they ran through all the parts of the stage doing it.

[@gisohatt59]

Rondo of nightmare with the mischiefs of the metal gods intro would be next recommendation! The bassist Boh will be seen with his 6 string in a close up!

[@DunceInAwhile]

Su Metal isn't a general. She's the Queen. Also, a lot of people miss the part at the very end where they say, "See You" and the crowd responds. One of my favorite parts. It further demonstrates the level of control they have over the crowd. BabyMetal are definitely top performers, all around!

[@robxsiq7744]

[@jakemuller8626]

there's nothing more to add to your amazing reaction, you certainly are one of kind like our girls. I will add this just in case no one already told about it: The Kami Band consist of a rotating line-up set of different elite musicians, sometimes you will see the same musicians, sometimes not, they wears a burial clothes or kimono and white face paints, in the BM lore they are a chosen Fox God band sended to help our girls to bring the metal sound. \m/ Yes it is a six string bass. You better obey Su-Metal commands signs, you don't want her death glare in your nightmares. Very nice you spotted the girls singing and what's their job. The Fox God sign is something they created by accident tying to make the classical horn sign, after that the fox theme was heavily introduced as part of the lore, you can find songs like _"Megitsune"_ starting with that theme. You got it right about the "We are BabyMetal" but also they said this letting know the fans as a way to feel part of them, they (us) belong to BabyMetal. Btw BM fandom got an official name, we are "The One", and they even did a song for us, of course, it is called _The One_

Can't wait until you see bass solo from "BOH" in Rondo of nightmare with mischiefs of god intro, that's the song which makes you believe in SU'peramacy (Yes it is Su solo song) Also as you asked again," how big is this band?". They performed at Tokyo Dome two nights back to back with 55000 people each night. Much love ♥️🦊

[@traylor2502]

If you want prog metal, it's Tales Of The Destinies. If you want to see the musicians up close, it's Rondo Of Nightmare the Budokan version. If you want theatrics, it's Death Legend 97. Warning: bolt down your table before watching these or stuff will be flying.

[@FrankE.Stoner1969]

This song was my entry into the Japanese rock / metal scene. I already knew X-Japan, Loudness before but only fleetingly from the 80's, I also had no idea how big these bands were. "Road of Resistance" was an absolute shock for me, it completely overturned my musical worldview. I was shaking and tears in my eyes and I couldn't believe what had just happened. A short time later, after a 20 year break from making music, it motivated me again. The return from bass to guitar this time was the best thing I've ever experienced, it's so much fun. I can only confirm your rating of 9.7. I've heard and seen the song so many times, it still impresses me. Babymetal has profoundly enriched the metal scene (and it works and belongs to heavy metal). The musicians of the Kami Band are definitely among the best musicians in Japan (R.I.P. Mikio) An extremely great reaction !!! 👍

Fantastic reaction and review. It's a great reaction when you make someone who has seen the song a couple hundred times feel like he's watching it for the first time. I will join others in recommending Rondo of Nightmare/Mischiefs of God. After that you should do one that puts Yui and Moa in the spotlight. I would recommend the song "GJ". That is a 'Black Babymetal' song where Su takes a break and Yui and Moa take center stage.

[@minamihideki7123]

I have many things I could write, but I am so glad to hear you say "one word, it's beautiful". And 9.7 is awesome. About the venue and this live, their Logo, Su-, Yui & Moa's crowd control, Kami Band, Kitsune sign, ... other hardcore, old, long, and respectable fans would tell you all them better than I. We have other awesome live videos of BABYMETAL as much as this performance. Please keep on reacting to BM. Ijime Dame Zettai, Headbanger, Rondo of nightmare, Catch me if you can, The One..etc. Btw, The six-strings bass guitar has its place in the Japanese jazz fusion scene I love. BOH in Kami Band is of course great, and my favorite players are Getao Takahashi on the Latin bass and Tetsuo Sakurai on Jimsaku, J fusion band. They are upper generation than BOH. Thank you from Japan.

[@Equinoqs98]

I love to watch metalheads who are open-minded enough to watch Babymetal and critique them fairly, and are then blown away by them! Your reaction was wonderful to see, and earns my subscription. I have seen Babymetal live, and they are one of the best shows you can see. They give their all to the fans.

[@armitage9]

Buenas tardes. Dragon Force and Babymetal's relationship is worth telling. When the girls (they were 16-15 years old at the time) participated in the 2014 Sonisphere, when even in the West they were practically unknown among the majority of Western metalheads (they began to work on KZbin with Gimme chocolate) they played before about 60,000 and triumphed. But not everyone in the metal world accepted them. The Donwload promoter said they were fine with the existence of Babymetal, but their festival was not a place for them. When Dragon Force found out about this, they were already at the festival and decided to bring them into their show, taking them out on stage and playing Gimme Chocolate with them, I think I remember. The producer's face must have been a poem ... the following year, it must be said, they were already at the festival officially.

[@martinmetal7481]

Main stage as well 🤘🦊🤘

[@athlonen]

More than that. Babymetal was scheduled to play a smaller stage, while at the same time a big band either canceled on them or pulled out.. so Dragonforce got them moved to the main stage, where there were the classic metal heads who were the die hard Iron Maiden, Big 4, typical fans that would let you know if you sucked. And the band was scared as hell before playing. By the time they finished their set, those die hard classic metal heads were screaming “we want more!” “One more song!”, and rushed out to buy up all of Babymetal’s merch. That was Sonisphere, in 2014. If David reacts to Ijime, Dame, Zettai (No Bullying Forever), he’ll see that crowd and how they reacted.

[@johnschultz7765]

@@athlonen, you are conflating two different stories and an urban myth. For Sonisphere 2014 Babymetal was originally booked for a smaller stage. But because of the hype surrounding them online they were moved to the main stage by the festival. No Dragonforce involvement. Months ahead of the festival. It was Download 2015 where the promoter would not book them. Dragonforce did have a booking and invited Babymetal to join them during their set. You are correct that afterwards Babymetal was booked for the main stage on future bookings. [Edit: corrections per Martin metal's post following.]

I remember the videos of the Dragonforce + Babymetal performance and it did not look like main stage now that I think about it. Agreed, it is a great story, no embellishments needed. The whole Babymetal backstory is this way.

[@Brandon066362]

The reason why they had the band with the actors is because they (Babymetal) could not afford to hire studio musicians to go on tour when they were first starting out. It wasn't in the budget. So they had to hire cheap actors to pretend to play. The Kami band came along once Babymetal got bigger and could afford to hire QUALITY session musicians to tour the world with them. They have two sets of Kami bands, the East and the West. Pretty self-explanitory. But there is a song called Rondo Of Nightmare (with Mischief of Gods intro) where each member has a solo to begin the song. It is also one of Su-Metal's solo songs, where the other girls take a breather. It's good stuff man!

[@egodreas]

For a real metalhead, "Gimme Chocolate" and "Doki Doki Morning" might just be the last two songs I would recommend they listen to from Babymetal. There are literally 100 songs that are more suitable for introducing this band, and "Road of Resistance" would be fairly high on the list. But do not make the mistake of thinking that what you just saw is in any way a stand out performance for Babymetal. It's only one of many great songs, and far from being their biggest show. It just happens to be an unusually well edited video that many reactors respond well to, perhaps because it does not contain too many of the divisive aspects of Babymetal music. There are many bigger hits, bigger and more elaborate stage shows, at bigger venues, with more emotional performances, bigger pits and crazier crowd interactions. Hell, they sometimes have the crowd fall to their knees and bow (dogeza) in sync to the music. Next up for you is of course "Rondo of Nightmare" with the "Mischief of Metal Gods" intro. It will finally introduce you properly to the Kami band. After that the gradual transformation of your channel into a Babymetal appreciation channel is more or less inevitable.

[@dwaynediamond6431]

I knew it! We were right! People never "get" Babymetal at first but the more you watch the more you start to see the genius behind them. This performance just never gets old. Can't wait to see more!

[@papa_xan]

You'd be hard pressed to find a group that puts as much effort and energy into their live shows as Babymetal does. That ending section with the "WE ARE!"..."BABYMETAL!" is a thing at all of their shows. In fact, the actual ending at this show was much longer. There were two other bridges to the left and right that went out into the crowd and they visited each of them and did the call and response. It was trimmed down for this video. The largest stage setup they've ever used was for their Tokyo Dome shows in 2016. They packed in 55,000 people each of the two nights they played there, and the stage was a multi-story, centrally located setup. In addition to the stage setup, every member of the audience was given a neck brace that had remotely controlled lights in them that were turned on and off for different sections of songs. To see a sea of 55,000 lights come on out of the dark was incredible, and even Su-metal was taken by surprise during one of their songs.

[@GenTzu]

In an interview, Su said she was so surprised at the lights that she forgot (very briefly) her place in the song.

[@moonnew5261]

At this time, su was 17 and the other two members were about 15. During this live performance, there is a scene where the performance stops and everyone choruses. I don't know why I get teary-eyed at that scene, just like you. In my own way, I tried to think of the reason. No matter how strong we try to be, sometimes we are lonely. In that scene, we are suddenly confronted with that. But when the "support" of the performance was removed, and I sang in chorus with everyone, I suddenly felt as if my loneliness was healed. That's why I was so moved. Isn't that right? From a fan in Japan.

[@Codametal]

The reason? Love and adoration. Because of their age at the time, they had adopted tens of thousands of people as their parents who will support them through everything they will do for the rest of their lives.

Great & thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。I am surprised at me myself watching 1 hour-long reaction video 😄 . You saw Su shout some words at 35:17. It means "Bring them on!". Fans analyzed that the provocative shout was thrown at metal elitists who had been ignoring, underrating, mocking, hating and even trying to discredit BABYMETAL. That shout may have been necessary in 2015 but not any longer. Now in 2021 BABYMETAL restarted their activities taking strict countermeasures against infection here in Tokyo and completed 10 BABYMETAL BUDOKAN concerts on April 15. On the last day (Day-10) Su shouted the same words in the grand finale for the first time in several years. She did it smilingly with mild and friendly voice. It must be addressed to the audience meaning "come on!". I was there with tears for joy 😢。 Talking about the crowd involvement, American audience did good job in any of 20 shows during 2019 US Tour. For example, 17,500 American audiences did the same chanting (even much longer one) at the Forum, LA on Oct. 11, 2019.

Many people, even professional ones, are quick to disregard them because of their image, not realizing how legitimately awesome the musicality is. You should love hearing Rondo of Nightmare for some unconventional arrangement and style mashed into a really dark but beautiful ballad. And since you love crowd work, would be interesting for you to see Karate live at Download 2016 to see how they work an unfamiliar crowd, in a not ideal situation (festival, heavy rains, stage drenched and flooded).

Oh.. one last thing about Dragonforce.. They actually not only assisted in writing the song, but they actually recorded the studio track for this for Babymetal's second album, Metal Resistance. What Herman Li did say, though, was that the Kami band plays it BETTER than Dragonforce ever could. If you want Prog... well, you'll get to that with Tales of the Destinies. Save that one for later, though. You have a lot more Babymetal to get to for that gem. What I will say about it though, is that that song made Mike Portnoy's jaw drop.

I'm sitting here thinking, is he going to eat his words? Only 8 more minutes will tell. Just finished watching the whole hour reaction. Babymetal just gobbled him up, and chewed him up. Not that the girls would ever do that. Great reaction and technical analysis. You'll find that outside of their Babymetal characters, the girls are the sweetest and humblest performers you will find. The crowd follows them not because Su-metal controls them, they follow her because they love all three girls. And you may know it by now, but Su-metal was about 17 here, and the other two were about 15. And yes, it was a pretty big crowd. 22,000 I believe at the Saitama Super Arena.

Now that you've taken a big step into the fox hole, maybe now you can experience a few of their other songs which each one should be impressive as each one expresses different things not only in song, but in emotions too. Su-metal can rap, sing a ballad, and keep up with dancing and singing. And maybe one day, you'll watch Moametal singing a solo during a concert performances surrounding her birthday.

[@johnschultz7765]

@@Codametal, at last someone else commenting that says it outright. It is not crowd control. The crowd, The One, responds by choice, out of admiration, respect, and even love for the trio. Jamie Horsley was the only reactor I know to actually pick up on it and call it out. And during his RoR reaction, at least a couple of years back now.

[@Codametal]

@@johnschultz7765 I think I've actually seen that reaction a year ago. I think many have to watch some of the early Sakura Gakuin videos to see how to girls were like when Babymetal first started as the subgroup. You don't learn too much about their personalities from just watching Babymetal interviews or performances because they are still in character. And it's very very rare to see them NOT their Babymetal characters now ever since they graduated from SG. I've told many people this, that I miss Su-chan, Yui-chan, and Moa-chan. But in the absence of any news about them in the wild, BM is the only thing we'll get. And I am secure enough to say that Babymetal is my all time favorite band, and I have immense respect and admiration for the girls who work so very hard to make each performance perfect, even through injuries. And the heartwarming tears they sometimes display (out of character) in performances do tell how appreciative they are to The One who have supported them for so long. I'll bet at least half were Fukei from SG. And like the other girls in SG, I also have the same respect and admiration for all of them too.

⚡ 💀 💕 / 🏴 🏴 🏴 "Stand up and shout, Shout!, Justice Forever!" - (Road of Resistance) - David Heretic: "You know how I feel about long videos." (posts a 55 minute long reaction) : ) As you saw, this was pretty much a master class in audience control. Su had just turned 17 a couple of weeks before this January 10th, 2015 concert. Yui and Moa were 15. Su is about a year-and-a-half older than the other two. BABYMETAL believe that if a song sounds too much like one genre, then it's not a BABYMETAL song. You can definitely feel the speed metal component in this one though. DragonForce members Herman Li and Sam Totman contributed guitar tracks for the studio version. This performance was at Saitama Super Arena (SSA) with a sold out crowd of over 20,000. Su first appeared at SSA in 2008 as a member of the J-Pop trio Karen Girl's, when she was 10 years old. She's been back many times since, headlining with BABYMETAL, as well as opening for 'Guns 'n' Roses a few years ago. Guitarists for this show were Leda Cygnus (black guitar) and Takayoshi Ohmura (with "Pink-chan", one of his ESP Snapper 7 signature guitars). BOH was on bass, playing his six-stringed Atelier-Z BOH custom. The drummer was Hideki Aoyama. Hideki's father and brother were also drummers, so it's kind of in his blood. The other current Kami Band drummer, Anthony Barone, is phenomenal as well. He used to play with Shadow of Intent.

[@0okamino]

Just to fill in the detail: The guitar Leda is playing is an ESP Horizon FR. Mikio also had an ESP E-II Horizon FR7 which looked almost exactly like it, except it had the E-II logo, and (of course) was a 7-string. That black with the white trim seems to be quite popular. :D

[@Glynthepin]

Great you are enlightening David with your knowledge Rick. For me, he is probably my favourite reactor to metal bands. I started to follow his reactions to Lovebites and Band Maid and although disappointed he first looked at Chocolate and Doki for his first two BabyMetal reactions, he did not dismiss them and gave good scores to both songs.

[@MrKebo87]

niiiice review. just woke up, and there it was :). btw the "wrong" sign they are making represents kitsune , basicly it means fox but is also a spiritual creature. when babymetal startet the girls watched a lot of Metallica etc. to see what metal, rock looks, sounds, feels like. And of course they saw a lot the "metalbull". but the girls were thinking they are making foxsigns, because they didnt know the normal one. And so the "kitsune"sign startet to be a Babymetalthing. in a short version :)

[@ThePiquet888]

Best reaction I have seen. Luved it. Luved your breakdowns and you look at stuff that noone else even came close to. Especially the commercial sides of it and how clever the production was. It was kind of a good .. like friggin amazing.. song too. Cheers dude... Luv it

[@SigTheSauceMan]

This was performed on January 10, 2015 at the Saitama Super Arena in Chuuou-ku, Saitama, Saitama, Japan. The arena's spectator capacity is 36,500, with the main arena's capacity being between 19,000 and 22,500. It is the fourth-largest indoor arena in the world. As for how "big" BABYMETAL is? That's a long explanation. But in short, they got their start as a sub-unit of the idol group Sakura Gakuin and quickly branched off into their own band as Babymetal in 2010 (when Suzuka was 12-years-old and Moa and Yui were only 10-years-old). Their early indie success led to them getting a major record deal in January 2013 after having debuted live as Babymetal the previous August at Summer Sonic 2012. And from there, they basically just kept getting bigger. On March 1st and 2nd, 2014, Babymetal would perform at Budokan, becoming the youngest to ever female act to perform there. And then they began their first world tour. Yui left the band in October 2018 (after being absent from performances for the year prior). Also, this song 'Road of Resistance' was co-made with DragonForce's guitarists, Herman Li and Sam Totman. They've even performed it live together a couple times. Edit: And your comments on Suzuka/Su-Metal's control over the audience perfectly proves how massive of a stage presence she has always had.

[@gisohatt59]

That is the Saitama Super Arena if I”m correct, about 20k audience. Their biggest one was at the Tokyo Dome, two sold out nights in front of 55k audience! They were also the youngest artists to get invited to play at Budokan!

[@Shoe-metal]

Youngest female group to headline Budokan, which is quite prestigious, but is not invite only.

[@invisibledave441]

Nobody strikes a hero pose like Babymetal. Approx 20,000 in that crowd by the way. They also sold out the Tokyo dome with a capacity of 55,000 for two consecutive nights. Another thing to remember about Babymetal is they have been making music for 10 years. To use a Beatles analogy, think of the difference between “I want to hold you hand” and “day in the life”. Wait till you hear some of the stuff from their third album, Metal Galaxy.

[@rantingrodent416]

*sees the length of the video* ohhh here we go. You did not disappoint, here, man. As soon as you went from "you know how I feel about long videos" to "I have to watch that again" I knew this was going to be a fun one to watch. Given what you had said you liked about Gimme Chocolate and Doki Doki Morning, I expected that this reaction would be fantastic. Glad to see that you get it. There's a reason they've only released 3 albums in 10 years despite working hard for those whole 10 years. Each song is also developed into a full piece of metal performance art. The arena concerts are halfway between a metal concert and a cirque du soliel show. People who have been to smaller venues without all of the bells and whistles all seem to say they kill it in that environment as well. This performance is a standout even for them, but the standard seems to be incredibly high at venues large and small. I'm really not much of a live concert person in general, but seeing Babymetal live is damn near the top of the bucket list for me. You were right, by the way, BOH has his own signature 6-string Atelier Z. I don't think I've ever seen him play another instrument. There's a Jazz project that he started with fellow Kamiband alumni Yuya Maeta and the late Mikio Fujioka (RIP) called "Kariband". Definitely worth checking out as well. I'd recommend Rondo of Nightmare @ Budokan Black Night next. It's a Su-metal solo piece that starts with a really solid band intro that will give you a much clearer look at some of the musicians. Yuimetal and Moametal have a few songs of their own where they perform without Su-metal. Of those, I expect you'd really enjoy "Sis Anger"

[@I-MAC]

The meaning of "We Are" is not to make the audience remember their names, but "We Are" here means Babymetal and fans are one unit in "The One". THE ONE is BABYMETAL Official Club.

[@alexandersupertramp6027]

We are The One.

[@TreadheadA1]

55 minute reaction to Babymetal? Damn straight I'm watching that! So, Babymetal made you cry? Welcome to the club! Or I should say, The Foxhole! They have done it to most, if not all, of us at least once. Queen Su and our lovely Princesses Yuimetal and Moametal are the absolute best. Su-metal has an uncanny ability to bring crazy amounts of emotion in her vocals when needed. Yuimetal and Moametal can do the same between the choreo and facial expressions. This was probably one of, if not, the best reactions I have seen so thanks for that. Very entertaining and informative! Welcome "The One" and Kitsune Up! 🤘🦊🤘

Now you know why we so freaking love them to death! P.S.: Yes, I enjoyed the show!

[@williamvesey3679]

Hand sign is the kitsune, Japanese for "fox", pronounced kit-soo-nay

[@johnschultz7765]

Key - tsu - nay. With "tsu" like in tsunami. Japanese syllables end on the vowel or sometimes 'n'. Syllables are also separate and distinct from each other, generally sounding clipped to western ears. So one's diction needs to be precise unlike say someone speaking 'murican.

[@MrFloppyHare]

More like "ki-tsneh", actually.

[@illinfinite]

I have watched many of your video' (mainly bands I love) and enjoy your insight. But this is the first time I seen you let the emotion of music take over you. This song was also my 3rd song into Babymetal (Gimmie Chocolate, Karate, and this). This is the one that completely sold me on them. Their discography is huge, with many well made songs, and I'm sure there are more songs you will completely enjoy. There are a couple ways you can go with them if you want to continue. But for now I think sticking to their earlier stuff (especially live, they are meant to be seen live!) Rondo of Nightmare with Mischief of God intro - Kami band intro with SuMetal Solo Headbanger - Live Legend 1997 (another top tier performance) Megitsune - Red fox Festival - Nothing more surreal than a metal song about women being performed to an audience of only women.

[@stephendaniels4763]

A couple of answers, they do the fox sign instead of the horns, Babymetal created alot of lore surrounding the fox god, which is a deity in japanese folklore. Yui and Moa are scream and dance, which is to say crowd control and interaction, but they also have their own songs to sing and dance to, and that is called Black Babymetal, 4 songs whilst Su takes a breather. Headbanger at Budokan is a must and Rondo of Nightmare with mischief of god intro, of course Babymetal Death Legend 1997 the year Su was born.

Hello, I see you've headed down the fox hole. Your next stop on the journey should be "Rondo of Nightmare." This is just Su-Metal and the Kami Band. It will give you the best viewing of the Kami Band. So Moa and Yui aren't left out, you need to check-out Black Babymetal which is the 2 back-ups on their own. I am pretty sure this to give Su a break during the shows but it is a nice showcase for Yui and Moa. I would recommend "Onedari Daisakusen," Live at the Budokan. It won't blow you away but it is a pleasant interlude. The song is about the girls begging dad for money and presents.

[@Grington300]

Great reaction and analysis ... and welcome to The One finally, I think this one sealed that deal. This was Saitama Super Arena early 2015 with a sell out 20,000+ and every one of them, not one exception, completely under the control of 17 year old Su-metal and 15 year old Yuimetal and Moametal (not just for this song, for the whole show). The Kami Band at this show were Leda Cygnus (black guitar), Takayoshi Ohmura (glittery pink guitar), BOH (6 string bass, you were right) and Hideki Aoyama on drums. I hope you explore more of their catalogue ... I love this song and every performance of it and I completely agreed with everything you said about this particular performance - and despite that it doesn't make my own top 20 BABYMETAL songs.

[@MacTaipan]

Damn, that was satisfying to see after your previous BABYMETAL reactions. I didn't expect them to hit you that hard. Awesome reaction! All the things you mentioned when talking about sensory overload combine to why I think they is the most complete package of entertainment in existence. There are many good bands, but their shows are so much more than just music. I'm glad that you acknowledged that the choreography does indeed add to the entertainment value. It's like a catalyst to the transfer of the energy from the band to the crowd. There are probably still many songs of theirs that are not in your ballpark, but I'm glad we took this hurdle. I'm pretty sure that you'd like "Rondo of Nightmare" as well, especially the version with the instrumental intro called "Mischief of the Metal Gods". You'll see more of the six string bass (and all of the other instruments), and the vocals are great as well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/boildZyCgrONmac The handsign resembles a fox, "kitsune" in Japanese (if you listen closely, you can hear Su yell "put your kitsune up" at the very end). There's a whole bunch of lore behind the band, and at the top of it all is the Fox God, who had sent them to earth to unite the world in Metal.The sign actually evolved by accident, as back in the early days, the girls misinterpreted the Metal Horns sign. I'm not sure whether the Fox God lore was already in place at that point, or whether it was inspired by this. Perhaps other fans can educate me here. But it's a cute story, and I think it's very cool to have a unique symbol to ourselves. And it fits the concept of Metal mixed with cuteness perfectly.

[@lencooke944]

Foxes are an important element of the Shinto religion and the wider Japanese culture and society. They adorn and protect many entrances at Temples across Japan. In Shintoism, Foxes can be shapeshifters, mischievous and indeed, can be gods. The 'Kami' in the Kami Band is also linked to Shintoism. Kami covers a wide range of figures in Japan from ghost-like beings through to devils and demons. Kami can have connotations of destiny as well. During the Second World War, Japanese planes loaded with explosives would deliberately crash into targets (mostly American ships) in a suicide mission for the pilots. These were called Kamikaze (translates as Destiny Wind). So, to answer your question, the Kitsune hand sign was a misunderstanding of the Devil's Horns hand sign. The girls were quickly corrected but they thought the Kitsune sign was cuter so they stuck with that and incorporated that into their onstage persona. It is, as you have said, Kawaii Metal after all. The Kitsune sign also helps tie them to their cultural roots.

@@lencooke944 Kitsune (or Foxes in japanese) are not actually "god" in japanese mythology, it is BabyMetal who made it reach the god status, they're indeed important in japanese culture and society. According to mythology or folklore (i know is not the same) they serves as a messengers of *Inari Okami* god (or goddess, can be both) of foxes, rice, fertility, agriculture and more. Kitsune have supernatural powers or abilities like you mentioned and such, they're a type of "yokai" or spirit (but not like a ghost) , there are too types of ktisune, to resume, the good ones and the bad ones, but also they gain more power depending on the amount of tails, the nine-tail is the more powerful (we know him from Naruto, most of us :P ) As far as i remember Kami, is not related to "destiny", is the japanese word for a god, deity, divinity or related to force nature, in that sense Kami-kaze means "divine wind". All hail to the Fox God! \m/

[@lencooke944]

@@jakemuller8626 Thanks for the explanation Jake. Us Gaijin lack the understanding on nuance in the Japanese language. In English, while the meaning has slight differences, 'spirits' and 'ghosts' are pretty much interchangeable. I take your point about kitsune not being 'God', but messengers of a god. This is known, but sometimes I will compress information in an effort to keep it short. My apologies, it that caused any offense. And, you are 100% correct about the connotation of destiny and Kami. They are not connected. I don't know what I was thinking when I typed that one. I was going for divinity, particularly with the Kami-kaze reference.

BabyMetal makes us all emotional. :p 🤘🦊🤘 One of Yui and Moa's most important jobs is to direct the crowd. Yeah, they sing and dance, but their real role is to connect with the audience and guide them through the interaction. They are like intermediaries. Priestesses of the Goddess Su. The crowd most definitely has their own choreo, and not only does Su command, Yui and Moa demonstrate. When they jump, you jump. When they pump their fist, you pump your fist. When they say they can't hear you, you call back louder. They are the cheerleaders and their part in the performance is so much more than just backing vocals or visual interest. And yes, they are impressive performers. Always in sync. If you watch the Headbanger Legend 1997 video, you'll see them leading the crowd and generally being badass. You're going to enjoy the Kami Band intros on other songs, too. They really showcase the players' abilities.
