Trilogy of Lights.....Shine, Starlight, and Arkadia. Starlight is by far my favorite of the 3. Gets you all in the feels then....BAM!!! Kami band melts your face off and Su is pure heavenly

[@Grington300]

Great reaction. 'Starlight' was the first of the three songs they ended their third album (Metal Galaxy - 2019) with. Collectively these three songs are known as the Trilogy of Lights. They describe the stages of mourning we go through after losing somebody close. 'Starlight' is about the initial shock and grief. 'Shine' is about acceptance and coming to terms with the loss (I hope you will watch the Legend M performance, that one is extra special - just Su, Moa and a guitar on stage and Moa's choreo is incredibly moving and emotional). 'Arkadia' is about looking to the future and better times to come. It has never been said by anybody associated with BABYMETAL, but most fans believe the trilogy is a tribute to Kami Band guitarist Mikio Fujioka (RIP) who tragically died on 5th January 2018 after falling from an observation deck where he had been stargazing ... it is just fan speculation, but it is hard to believe there isn't something in it, especially given the lyrics of 'Starlight' - "Wherever we are we'll be with you We'll never forget shining starlight. Wherever you are live in my heart We'll never forget shooting star." and the Legend M performance in particular of 'Shine' would also suggest there is something in it. 'Starlight' was also released on the same day in October 2018 that the original third member of BABYMETAL Yuimetal announced she would be leaving the band and Su has said she thinks of Yui and how she would have danced to this song, so maybe the tribute is for her as well. Only the Fox God knows.🦊

Fans love their head canon. Why even share unprovable head canon just let the song be what they say it is and not add random worthless theories?

Calm down a bit, think about it and whether it is true or not why does it bother you so much what other people like to think.

Great reaction, thanks! "Starlight" is the first song of the "Trilogy of Lights". It was their response to the sad and tragic events happened in late 2017 and early 2018 with Yui leaving and Mikio's untimely passing. And it's about the stages of mourning. "Starlight" is about the initial stages: denial and anger and fans suppose that it's a tribute to Mikio and probably also dedicated to Yui. The other two songs are "Shine" and "Arkadia" and, believe it or not, are even better (in my opinion). The trilogy closes the dark side of the Metal Galaxy album (2019).

[@jason7120]

It was not their response, god stop making crap up.

@@jason7120 I can be wrong and you can always explain a "correct" view if you know it (apparently you do) instead of giving me crap. People who blow up comments instead of explaining things make me sick.

@@road-runner The lie/ misinformation has been so badly spread and continued to be spread by so many bad actors who openly and willing spread this knowing it's a lie, everyone who mentions it blends together.

Starlight can be angelical and brutal in the same packet , and that car crash like breakdown. Great react. Thank you 🦊🤘

[@PoliAstroN]

Definitely need to complete the trilogy of light with ‘Shine’ next, and finally ‘Arkadia’. In my opinion this trilogy is the greatest musical piece that came from Babymetal

[@KEVINTHEWS]

I saw them last night in Sterling Heights, Michigan. They are amazing Live. They put so much work into their show. You can see the joy of performance on their faces. I was stage left, very close to the rail. I could see the curtained entrance to the stage from which they entered and left the stage. Most times, they were giggling and cutting up as they came onto stage. It was wonderful to see!

[@mikepowers9486]

All that was needed to be said already has. Beautiful song full of emotion. 1 of 3 for the trilogy of lights. Next is Shine. A very emotional and personal performance was done during Legend M with just Su and Moa. 🤘🦊🤘

[@XatoKillua]

This song is one of my favorites, the perfect mix between a ballad and metal rock... like two stars in coalition 🤘

[@jakemuller8626]

Nice you arrived to this special set called officially Trilogy Of Lights, ending Metal Galaxy album and took by fans to tribute YuiMetal's withdrawal and Mikio Fujioka's departure (R.I.P. kokami). Songs in order: Starlight - Shine - Arkadia. I highly suggest you to check it out Shine live at Legend M 2019 MoaMetal's 20th Birthday, a special intimate moment with only Moa and Su on stage. See you next time bro.🦊🤘🔥

[@mikeat2637]

Starlight is the first song in the Trilogy of Light, which commemorates the life of Kami Band guitarist Mikio Fujioka, who passed away on January 5th, 2018 after a fall at an observatory while with his wife. The other two songs are Shine and Arkadia, which are also amazingly good. Mikio was always smiling and very, upbeat positive person. Reacting to the whole trilogy would be a great thing to do, even if you did this reaction. The girls were really affected by this as they basically grew up around him and Kami Band.

[@Tyyppl]

A small disclaimer. The band has never officially stated that any part of the Trilogy of Lights is about Mikio. It's a really wholesome theory which might very well be true given the circumstances of his untimely passing but we simply don't know the truth. Especially considering piano version of Shine was used in Legend S concert during some lore stuff so atleast Shine was already in the works even before Mikios passing.

[@mikeat2637]

@@Tyyppl Thanks, I wasn't aware of this. But you are right it is a real feelgood story about, from what reports note, that he was a good guy.

You are 100% wrong and it doesn't commemorate ANYONE. So, stop spreading fake information.

Cool reaction brother 🔥🤘🦊🤘🔥 This is definitely my favorite. While a great performance, this is one of the few times I prefer the clarity of the album version. There are some really subtle guitar and drum parts that get a little lost live. Keep on rocking friend 💥🎸🥁 🎸💥

starlight and arkadia are my favorites from the trilogy of light

[@deemetal5957]

I just saw them in Grand Rapids Michigan last night and they sound better Live! it's simply the best show your going to see live, if not ever!!!

[@flugelhornoldman1362]

Thanks again from Japan 有難う 💛。 Yes, theatrical! Their performance always reminds me of an analogy that BABYMETAL is an opera. I always defer to wise men in our fanbase like Grington300 for good explanation about the "trilogy of lights". Hitomi Nishiyama, a jazz pianist and BM fan, pointed out the same thing saying "Starlight is a well-crafted song. The main part of the melody uses "do, re, mi, fa, so (C, D, E, F, G)" only." Hitomi added "vowel of the long tone is always 'a' sound. Composer created it intentionally, I guess" [Japanese Magazine "Headbang" vol. 24, Page 121 (an interview with Saki, Nemophila)]

[@mikeat2637]

I saw them in NYC this past Friday and they didn't do any of the Trilogy songs. I don't know what the playlist for your show will be.

[@jason7120]

Pretty much the same as your show with just one song switched out for Maya, Mirror Mirror or Believe. It's not rocket science to see what their set lists are.

[@bbravo5531]

Song was written for their guitarist, Mikio, who passed away in 2018. Fell off a platform while stargazing. Ironic - Starlight.😢

I wanted the trilogy to be done together if possible. Starlight, Shine, and Arkadia. There is a story. Shine is good with MoaMetal playing guitar in the intro.

[@hernanaricapa7379]

Solo le falta shine y arkadia (mi favorita) 👌🤟

[@robote7679]

Great reaction to a beast of a song!

[@rickwagner-]

The "trilogy of lights" songs are 'Starlight', 'Shine' and 'Arkadia'. They are all from the Metal Galaxy album, but they're not related to astrology. Maybe you're thinking of astronomy?

[@rah2287]

👍 👍 This is the first song in the Trilogy of Light. It is believed that all three are dedicated to Mikio Fujioka and Yui Mizuno. Both loved to star gaze (Mikio was tragically killed by an accidental fall from an observation tower while star gazing at age 37 and succumbed to his injuries days later leaving behind a wife and son). Yui of course left the band in 2018 due to health reasons and these three LIVE performances (2019) supposedly honor them. The second song is Shine LIVE (my favorite BabyMetal song) Moa supposedly is recorded playing the acoustic guitar on the backtrack to the song and in the very first LIVE performance of Shine she was shown "playing" the guitar while Suzuka rises up behind her. Only Suzuka and Moa performed because they were the two who knew them and performed with them personally. All other LIVE performances had Suzuka, Moa and an Avenger.

[@jason7120]

Never once ever confirmed or proven to be dedicated to anyone. Officially or unofficially.

[@rah2287]

Do you understand the meaning of the word supposedly? And where do you get the idea that it has never been confirmed unofficially? I never said confirmed but "unofficially" it is all over the fan base.

[@PlezurBazar]

Give it a rest, you don't know either@@jason7120

[@michelm.6033]

This is an outstanding song and I love Babymetal. However, the next song in the trilogy is one of my favorites. It is nearly impossible to single out any song by them, but if I were to try I would say No Rain No Rainbow, Shine and of course Monochrome. Those are just some of my favorites. All of their music is exceptional and hopefully I will find you in LA.
