BABYMETAL KARATE OFFICIAL - Producer Reaction

Guys We Need Subscribers on our Stream channel, So please give us some love there @ bit.ly/37xq50T

[@Mike-xh8fl]

They always "go like like that!" Freshest metal in decades.

[@seanortigoza3931]

Everytime I watch their video of Karate, it always feels like it's the first time I've heard and seen it. Those white figures with skull masks were there former selves (self-doubt). They were fighting themselves all along.

[@MacTaipan]

Their music, the messages and the way they are presenting all of it are so incredibly uplifting and empowering, it's phenomenal. I'm not a person that's easily showing passion for anything, but these girls and their band have absolutely taken me under their spell. Discovering them is simply the best thing that has happened in my life.

[@philippus67]

52 here, and never saw such a great band!!!

[@Grington300]

Good reaction - this song is about fighting adversity. When you've been knocked down, you're crying and everything seems too hard its about helping each other to stand and to fight on. Moving on when times get hard, never to give up. They used karate to illustrate this as it is a Japanese martial art and it has no backward moves. The figures in white were revealed to be the girls when the masks shattered - they had been conjuring up their own inner demons to fight against.

Great reaction! A little background; although Su-metal (lead singer) & Moametal (vocals & dance) are only 22 & 20 years old respectively, they have been with the group from the start, & BABYMETAL will celebrate their 10th anniversary this fall. BABYMETAL has won over 35 International awards, has been on the covers of music industry magazines (REVOLVER, METAL HAMMER, ROLLING STONE), & has a passionate, dedicated, & engaged fanbase, a.k.a. "THE ONE". Their band, the KAMI band (KAMI can mean divine beings, spirits, gods) are some of the best musicians in Japan, & often dress in traditional Japanese burial robes & "ghost" makeup. Their lyrics can be poppy, silly, & fun; however, most are positive, inspirational, & uplifting, & inspire tens of thousands of young fans. Also, their work ethic is beyond reproach. And NO ONE can control a crowd like these young ladies. Check out videos from Tokyo Dome in 2016, where they sold out back-to-back dates with 55,000 fans in attendance each night! BABYMETAL'S best work is definitely done LIVE. That said, the official music video of "KARATE" is probably 1 of the few exceptions to the rule.

We spend a large part of our life battling those that we think oppose us. This goes on until we find our unique gifts. Once we find our own strength and learn to help each other, we learn we have only been battling ourselves. That's what I get from the video.

[@herrbraun4875]

Amen Brother! You've got a deep understanding deep inside of your soul. I'm German and this is as relatable here as it is in each other country and society worldwide. I personally hope, that you can spread that message, whether it was given to you by God or your inner self. Go and make people empower themselves, so they can be their absolute best, without putting others down. I wish you well in your future endeavors and I like your mindset. Peace and love to you!

[@rickwagner-]

⚡ 💀 💕 / 👻 👻 👻 And… that's why this was the featured single from the second album. : ) They made a lot of friends among other metal groups by playing a bunch of festival dates, and this song converted quite a few. Like a lot of BABYMETAL songs, this one has a positive message about facing life's challenges. BTW, for BABYMETAL, it's a fox sign, not a devil's horns. So the middle and ring fingers are extended and touch the extended thumb. You can see this pretty clearly when they raise their hands near the end of the video.

[@rext0r670]

I want Rick Reactions when Babymetal releases a new album, I can die happily after that! :D

[@schelin1447]

This wonderful galaxy of BABYMETAL!

[@Will_Wel]

I agree with your assessment. Whoever is producing mixing engineering and recording Babymetal are very good at their jobs. The band and the production deserve a lot of credit as well as the three singers.

[@stuffandwhatnot4401]

Excellent reaction, glad you liked it. A couple notes...the hand sign they do differs from the normal rock symbol. It has the pads of the middle and ring fingers on the pad of the thumb. Also, you were bowing at the end so you missed it but after the masks break you can see the reflection of each of the girls in one of the white robed figures.

[@tiaopiak]

"Karate" premiered at Yokohama Arena on December 12, 2015. Directed by Daisuke Ninomiya, the music video for "Karate" was released on 18 March 2016. Moa Metal explained that the lyrics are about never giving up and always moving forward, no matter what difficulties need to be endured. Furthermore, Yui Metal described how the dance moves were made to help express the message of the song, as most of the lyrics were in Japanese. Moa Metal expressed that "Karate" is her favorite song, explaining how "karate has a courtesy: "Start with a bow and end with a bow." This is something important we value in our lives, because we never forget courtesy and a feeling of gratitude wherever we go." Su Metal described the white figures in the video as representing their former selves, expressing the desire to break down barriers by fighting themselves to move forward. Moa Metal added that "karate is obviously a form of martial arts that originated from Japan, so it’s something that she’s very proud of that they are now representing this culture that came from Japan through their music, and it’s a way for more people outside of Japan also to learn what karate is all about."

[@40ozlopez49]

U got the insight. Let more people know

[@Luemm3l]

what I figured, asian disciplines are I feel more holistic in nature, almost every martial art or self defense has also some philosophical or mental aspect to it. Not only train your body, but also the mind. This "wholeness" in concepts, whether that is food, education, taking care of yourself, mentally and physically, but also other people, has been a little bit lost in western societies.

[@mariomariolemieux982]

Rondo of Nightmare with Mischiefs of God Intro will melt your face. YOUR WHOLE FACE.

[@shaunpierce4174]

Agreed

[@bildvogt_eu]

That's the song which took me on the journey into the "fox hole" :)

[@goonercestlavie]

Masterpiece yes. Awesome song, awesome music video.

[@Tnakamura11]

"Be strong. Get up even when beaten up" is a message in "Karate". But that catching a fly part, that means that you can be kind at the same time. That's how I understand their "Karate". One thing, Japanese don't thank the way you do although Thai people do it in that way.

[@tonyguido232]

Dude. Keep being you. You are what we all need to be.

[@ryanflake9185]

This song is 🔥 I get chills every time I hear it her voice just has that effect and this video is so we'll done and the band is on point just shows the amount of talent they have

[@77ひ]

これリアクション最高　てかじいさん大好きだ。

[@ronayala9456]

Check out the video for their song Megitsune. Very unique sound and it’s one of their best.

[@wednesdaygeckok.7899]

This dudes energy is fucking infectious Holy crap

[@Benobot99]

Yessss

[@jldibiase]

I avoided this band for a long time because without having heard it it looked too gimmicky, but I have to admit after seeing them it has changed my mind :-)

[@Glynthepin]

Have a look at some of their live performances with the Kami Band, you will be amazed! I have left a live video link in my comment to The Music Recording Network.

[@ikemen2329]

Literally me 4 years ago..

[@jagvenne]

same

[@karlaarevalo2195]

same here I thought they weren't that good of a band and kinda cringe at first glance but when i heard there songs i was amazed

[@aspect57]

It's inherently gimmicky but that doesn't mean they don't fucking kill it.

[@r3volv3roc3lot4]

Very sad that the one groupe member left, they were such a nice trio.

[@allisonbegay395]

Really entertaining reaction, keep them rocking and coming.

[@classicgamerbobby9583]

Awesome reaction Mike, and don't forget, I'll keep the Baby Metal and Band Maid songs coming to ya on the live streams!

[@slipknot10420]

I will definitely second the recommendation. I've recommended infected rain several times as well. Please do infected rain, lure. Thank you.

[@GatedGator]

ohmygod your intro is so fun !!!!!! your bass playing was a refreshing intro

[@bobbyblanton5523]

You just made mymorning. I love Babymetal especially the song that you just reacted to. I see that you get it and that you know how technical this band really is. They have so many great songs, so I hope you do more reactions, and become part of the one.

[@madcracker84]

Easily in my top 3 music videos ever. Along with Korn freak on a leash.

[@andydorsey3669]

I still don't know if I come for the reactions or the great intros. Keep it up man. Great job.

[@ChuckJansenII]

Love your reaction. Just subscribed. Every time I listen to Babymetal It's like I have never heard music before. It's like when I heard Over the Mountain by Ozzy Osbourne with Randy Rhoads. That is a wonderful experience.

[@Moshinoki]

Do Megitsune if you haven't

[@ronalgarciacarrillo2914]

That is right this is not heavy metal, this is baby metal

[@johneg27]

Great song! (One of my favorite Baby Metal songs ) Great reaction! All around entertaining! 10/10 Listen to Gimme Chocolate by Baby Metal!

[@wolfdemon5676]

I'm from white wood south Dakota

[@Deato9000]

🤘🦊🤘

[@onsesejoo2605]

There's a lot of symbolism going on but no idea what it means and what is the lore behind it. I am aware that the Fox is thought to be a magical animal that has the ability to transform into a human and is called Kitsune.

[@tomturek9682]

There best song by far.

[@Juanalecsanderbotelho]

I love this intro hahaha

[@ЗеленаяПланета-д4е]

Mike .. you should definitely look and make a reaction to Sergey’s performance at Eurovision 2016 !! This is amazing!) LIVE - Sergey Lazarev - You Are The Only One (Russia) at the Grand Final

[@alexraj2059]

Plz do babymetal oh majinai....

[@CrazyUso]

Mike Happy Fathers Day. Or how we say it in Samoan. Manuia Aso O Tama! Stay safe and keep grinding

[@masakitanaka7704]

Thank You。 please　check　 『road　of　resistance』 ありがとう😉👍🎶

[@Justin-nq6kf]

This is easily my favorite song by them. Not all their songs are my style. This and Megitsune is good.

[@AndrewKahnn]

Babymetal is cool!

[@shaunpierce4174]

[@rallypig8942]

Be careful, I saw another reviewer mention that a channel had done 3 Baby Metal videos and woke up one morning and their channel was gone forever. 3 Strikes at once.

[@veryfrosty7764]

[@alsimons7925]

🌴GUAM, U s A🌴. U b fiyya sir🌴 🗽🗽

[@40ozlopez49]

To me it sounds spanish.

[@jacobp8306]

The thing with them is that their band is actually quite good, but the gimmick and pop star stuff with the girls can be way to campy with some of their songs.

[@evantarracciano4211]

Apparently I'm the only one who absolutely hates Baby Metal. Just too stupid and gimmicky for me to take seriously.

[@LunchBox68]

They still produce bangers though

[@rickwagner-]

Imagine, a "gimmicky" group in the Metal scene. A genre famous for its restraint and total lack of theatrics. LOL.

[@herrbraun4875]

Well, then it just wasn't meant for your ears. Can't blame you, even though I really like them. If the chance occurs for you, why don't you pick up an instrument and create your own sound, the way you want music to sound? I would be interested to hear that as well and I promise not to hate on you even if I shouldn't like your sound. Since I heard them and other artists, I'm curious myself, if I could produce a sound I like and others as well. Why not give it a try? Bless you and have a good day anyways, even if you heard something you didn't dig that much!

[@Grington300]

Why do you want to take music seriously, if its fun and its good let yourself go and enjoy it. It's a shame you can't see past whatever it is you see as being gimmicky. Listen to the music, it is all quality and you're limiting yourself and missing out. If you don't like the music or singing or whatever that's fair enough - I can't see how there is any possible reason to "absolutely hate" them.

[@TheLeomarti]

Too gimmicky for you, fair enough, that's your rightful opinion. On the other hand, too stupid, that's an objectively wrong assertion.
