Nice reaction, thanks! Woah! you already have 177 comments. I'm not pretending to say anything new and you probably know more than me about this one now. 🤭 This is their usual closer and she usually extends that last note way more (sometimes until she gets out of air). But not this time, being the first song after the opening number. 🤘🦊
Kevin jump scared me too, when I listened the first time ot this song with the video. I was not sure how they handle that cover. I think the cover is what a good cover has to be. They brought their identity in the song without destroying the vibe of the original.
This song was a collaboration with Dragonforce, who wrote and performed the guitar parts on the original recording. Other influences include Metallica, who are referred to as The Metal Masters in Babymetal lore, and Judas Priest, who are referred to as the Metal God in their lore. Their song Ijime, Dame, Zettai (No More Bullying Forever) used to have a spoken intro, and both the Metal Master and Metal God were referenced in it. Metallica looms large in influence, because back in the 90s they were a big influence on Koba; and later when Babymetal were young, meeting them and seeing them perform was a watershed event. Su at the time was struggling with her Su-metal personality, it was so different than her own offstage personality, which is kind of goofy and quirky. But meeting them as nice guys, and then seeing them perform with all the intensity, helped Su in her development. And seeing them perform is when Su first understood metal, and she shed her Idol veneer and the band embraced metal ever since. Su doesn't act on stage. As their choreographer says, doesn't act like someone on stage, she is someone on stage.
You're adorable. Reminds me of when I first discovered babymetal. But that was 2 years ago. They in my top 5 bands for sure now. Road of resistance will knock your socks off.
@@Abigirl_Reacts so many babymetal songs will give u full body chills. I'm a 38 year old man and they still make me tear up. Su is a special person. And the band is phenomenal. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦 💙
Thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。The crowd involvement (circle pit, call & response, chant etc.) occurs wherever BABYMETAL goes on this planet. This anthemic song was played in their almost every show (either in their headline or in huge festival) The audience reaction is always similar to it in this video. The gist of what Su said from 06:07 in your video is : ① BABYMETAL has to go on the uncharted road. ② The existence of all of you and your support enable us to overcome any difficulties and hardships that we are going to face. ③ Let us hear your voice. Then Su screamed at 08:32 "Thank you" after the 3 girls heard supportive chant from the people there including me myself. Her statement and gratitude stoked up our affection toward the girls even more because the Day-2 at Pia Arena "BABYMETAL Clear Night" is the show where the newly born BABYMETAL with Momometal was announced meaning the officially resurrected triangle. You are right. Su's pitch is very very high for too grown up guy like me, a 68-year-old Japanese. Even I chanted in octave lower. The crowd left the venue exhilarated but with hoarse voice🤣.
Hello and thank you for the comment! Haha I can picture you trying to sing along at the end with the very high note ^_^ I understand why you would take it down an octave. Even I would and I am a woman! 🤘🦊🤘thank you for your comment :)
You know, you're going to take in all of these "BABYMETAL doing reboots of BABYMETAL" and will have little, if any, appreciation for the "Yui Era" and "Duo Era" versions. It would appear that's you've decided to start form the present and go back. It's your channel so you do as you do, but when you read a book, do start with the last page and work your way to the beginning? When you watch a movie, do start at the end and watch in reverse? My greatest appreciation (and envy) is of those members of The One who had the unique opportunity of watching BABYMETAL both grow and grow up. As I said: it's your channel, you do as you do. 🦊🤘
@@Abigirl_Reacts "Maybe"?! What they are doing "recently" is a few collabs and reboots of their early work. Whatever. Here's where we part company - good luck with your channel.
It would be great if you could also react to some of their past music when Yui Metal was still with the band. It's fascinating to observe the evolution and growth of these young talents as we delve into their history. True prodigies. 🦊
Good ears, again, Abi. You're picking up details I never would have on a first listen, and that perfect pitch thing is working really well for your reactions (and it must be so rewarding to hear Su-metal hit all those notes). If you want to hear her hold that final note for a whopping 12 seconds, you need to find the Budokan 2021 live version of this song (a quick search only turned up a live compilation video by For the Fox God that has a mismatch of audio and video at that moment, as she's lowering the mic while you still hear her sustain the note, because they pieced together footage from different shows [Budokan 2021, at the height of the Covid crisis and under strict lockdown rules, was a series of ten concerts, so a lot of live footage to pull from]). You should also cross-check the Official Live in Japan version of this (from 2016), which helps understand Su's splitting-the-sea / wall of death pose better and has a prolonged (some say it's too long, but that's of course just heresy ;-)) crowd interaction part, plus the most epic finale.
@@Abigirl_Reacts I have to agree, but there are some notable exceptions where we wouldn't have any pro-shot live versions available if it were not for the compilations. And luckily, the better (if not all) compilations usually use only one audio track, so if all you have available for one song is a compilation, you can (or: need to) just focus on what you're hearing, and take the images as illustration and not actively look for evidence of lip-syncing, because that might be misleading. But don't worry. You can't go wrong with the PIA or Legend MM live videos for present day Babymetal, and The One will point out specific live videos that are worth it although they are compilations. I think the alternate singer versions of Headbanger come to mind here: I'm not sure if there are Moabanger or Momobanger videos that are from just one performance (that sounds odd because there is technically just one performance of each, but to get them not copyright-struck, the uploaders had to put in other footage as well).
Fun video as always! Some of these live performances have english subs as well, not sure if you noticed but figured i'd let you know, can't wait for the next. ♥
Their live concerts just seem so COOOL and a experience you'd remember forever! and the song is JAMMING! Thank you for another awesome React Video ABIMETALLLLL! :D <3 and gracing us with your beautiful singing voice! :D
The longest she held that final "Resistance" was about 14 seconds at the last of their 10 year anniversary shows at the Tokyo Budokan in 2021 (Doomsday X). Afterwards they ran around hitting 10 gongs on their way which took them more than 5 minutes.
Hi i have a question for you. Do you write down our suggestions from each video so there's one big list so we don't have to comment them again? Because I don't want any of my suggestions to be lost if I don't keep commenting them lol Also im surprised you picked this version as the iconic legendary performance is the official live in Japan. If you want chills that one would've gotten you all the chills. When you do Ijime Dame zettai eventually make sure u do the 2014 sonosphere as its the best! Also Headbanger do 1997 legend live.
So, I don't have a list of EVERY single suggestion but I do keep a list of the most requested songs! I keep adding to the list as I do more reactions if that makes sense 🤘🦊🤘
The instrumentalist collaborated with Herman lie and Sam totman from dragon force, they performed together in 2015 at the Hammer golden god awards and download fest. Check out babymetal black(Moa/yui): GJ,song 4/4 no Uta,sis anger, Onedari daisakusen,, the other two are also great singers.
@@Abigirl_Reacts GJ stands for Good Job. It is a song thanking parents for braving the walls of death in the commuter trains and the mosh pits in the shop sales in their efforts to earn the money to buy them all they needed as they were growing up. Black BABYMETAL was the "sub-unit" consisting of Moa and Yui performing as a duo while Su would get a break during the concerts.
Amazing reaction. If you have not done it, please do catch me if you can. What a song it is. Or also try black babymetal, songs like GJ, Sis.Anger, 4NoUta and Onedari daisakusen. thank you for your reaction
@@Abigirl_Reacts you are in for a surprise I tell you. Enjoy Babymetal. May I suggest also watching the not so extensive guide to Babymetal??? You start to know more about them all and how they got to where they are now. After all, we are the one. Babymetal fans.lol
The song was indeed a collaboration with Dragonforce, since Tom Totman and Herman Li (Dragonforce guitarists) helped to write it!! They wrote a hard guitar part because they didn't expect to play it...of course eventually they played together on stage in 2015 😂 they said they respect the Kami Band so much because it's way faster than every Dragonforce song. Moa and Momo have mics so they sing some lines, such as the "wowow" in the middle of the song 😊 I consider Road of Resistance almost THE Babymetal anthem: it brings the crowd together ❤
Not merely a little bit of Dragonforce. This song was co-written by Herman Li and Sam Totman from Dragonforce, who also played the guitars on the studio orginal. They have also performed this live with Dragonforce as the entire backing band! During the "woooo" chorus, Moa and Momo are both singing. Su is the only one with a hand mic, but the others both have live headset mics, so their vocals are live also.
Although Herman Li and Sam Totman from DragonForce contributed guitar tracks for the studio version of 'Road of Resistance', they did not write the song. Official song credits are: Lyrics: MK-METAL (Miki Watanabe) and KITSUNE of METAL GOD/KxBxMETAL (Kei Kobayashi). Music: Mish-Mosh (Nobuaki Miyasaka), NORiMETAL (Norikazu Nakayama) and KYT-METAL (Keiji Kusama). Arrangment: Kyôtô.
I'm sorry you feel that way! Seems like you prefer reactors who play the whole song and then give their commentary at the end of the song? Would you prefer that?
Awesome reaction :D Pretty sure this song was made with the guitarists of Dragonforce. Su-Metal has also said her dream collaboration is with Metallica, but as far as I know that hasn't happened (yet) ^^
As I wrote in another thread, and as some also suggest here, Megitsune ("female fox", so kind of a Babymetal anthem) and Headbanger are must see. If you prefer reacting to recent live performances, fine. But at least have to see original music videos too. At least to me, it is so impressive to see girls slaying as teenagers. Plus I saw a few sceptical reactors being after watching those like "Babymetal is as metal as f..k !"
Great reaction! "Road of Resistance" is THE crowd pleaser, and it is often performed as the show closer. Su-Metal command the split quite formally these days, as the crowds split at the intro already, sometimes even demanding the "Wall of Death" themselves 🤣 The crowd at PIA Arena was phenomenal. Really, a part of all BABYMETAL performances. Su-Metal was super happy with them😊 Yep, that´s Moametal singing as Su-Metal´s backup, so that Su could fully enjoy the crowd´s reaction. Moa has a quite unique voice, too. With time you´ll recognize her singing, if she does. But you haven´t listen to anything yet, she is an amazing singer in her own right 😉 Bent66 suggested "From Dusk Till Dawn"... That´s a VERY special one! I second that suggestion!
@@Abigirl_Reacts It was not Legend 1997 (Su's 16th birthday concert in Dec 2013), he means the official live in Japan from Saitama Super Arena in Jan 2015.
You are correct about dragonforce sound. Herman Li and Sam Totman from Dragonforce wrote the guitar part There are videos and interviews where this is confirmed several times. take a look at this video for confirmation direclly from Hermal Li himself: watch?v=3KqmGckzqyw As a "Grown "@$$ man" myself. I love Babymetal, and I am not afraid to acknowlege it. I consider myself a metalhead, and love alot of different metalbands. Bands i enjoy like Sepultura, Gojira, Lamb of God, Slipknot, Canibal Corpse, Slaughter to Prevail, Rammstein, Behemoth Lorna Shore, Amon Amarth, Parkway Drive to name a few. Babymetal is amongs all those, and on a regular rotation. As for next? My suggestion on going for a tripple headbanger reaction still stands. the channel for the fox god posted momobanger recently that has more correct videocuts than others that have been posted.
@@Abigirl_Reacts from when they became known outside japan, and they got alot of hate from metal elitists. To be completely honest, they are more heavy than other bands that they like, and metal dont need to be heavy just for the sake of being heavy. But i think that some of the hate also comes from the fact they dont like it, because non-metal heads also like it. Metal elitists can be such a snowflakes. On the brighter side thou, most metalheads are very kind, to the point you can compere them to BM off stage in some aspects.
@@Abigirl_Reacts that is true. We are all different, and we all like what we like, it does not affect me what others dont like. But its fun to share with those who like the same, but still different.
Notice you've been mostly seeing their newer concerts... Well, if you ever get around to watch Karate, watch the Download 2016 performance, and see how a western metal crowd jam with our girls in the pouring rain... If you want to hear Su's high notes, checkout my fave song From Dusk Till Dawn at the Budokan. 😁😁😁🤘🦊🤘
If you (ever) want to try something other than EC and Babymetal, but assuming that it is such danceable metal, "patrycore", that you now enjoy, here is a couple of suggestions: Hanabie (Japan too), maybe "Be the Gal" first; Ankor (Spain) "Embers"
So anxious to see your first BabyMetal Reaction... they go HARD! - This collab is possibly the greatest thing of 2024 (even beats the Fifa EM, the ESC and Summer Games!!!!) ;D
Amazing! Road of Resistance was a 2014 debut and has Herman Li and Sam Totman of Dragonforce helping with guitar parts. They played for the studio recording, so good ear! This has been a staple show closer for Babymetal for almost a decade, and always drives the crowd. Momo and Moa were singing when Su wasn’t. Next auggestion: *Akatsuki (Budokan 2014)* for an epic Su-metal solo! 🤘🦊
I was at PIA Arena for this show and I'm pretty sure the crowd was around 80:20 men to women. That sounds pretty skewed, but that's actually pretty good for a metal show. Babymetal tends to have a more gender balanced crowd than most metal shows. Babymetal shows tend to have a way more diverse audience than most metal bands, with everything from parents with little kids through to senior citizens all jamming out together. Babymetal brings all demographics together and the vibes are immaculate.
i think if you listened to more songs that centered around moa or momo's vocals it would be easier for you to tell that they're stepping in when it isn't su singing, or more predominantly, it's usually moa stepping in (as momo wasn't an official member in a lot of these performances, so she just lip synced and danced.) definitely take the time to check out moabanger and momobanger! (aka the two girls' special performances of "headbanger" where they take over the second half of the song for their birthdays! moa's is for her 20th birthday and momo's was celebrated just before she turned 21 since she wasn't an official member when she turned 20.) have fun diving further down the fox hole!!🦊🤘
Fun react. I was happy surprised you caught the Dragonforce influence. Herman and Sam from that band co-wrote this one. I think you are ready to "head-o-ban" headbang now, but be warned there are different versions of that one with lead parts done by different girls in the group. Momo's version is same song but sung differently than Moa's and Su's etc...
Good morning AbiMetal 🙂 For breakfast croasan,kakao and Resistance to another croasan. YuiMetal: "I love all our song but my favourite song is Road Of Resistance." Su-Metal: "My favourite music is Meta Taro because this song is so cute and catchy." Moa Metal: "My favourite song is Karate.Karate is so powerful song.groovie song.I feel that we ,as a team, can do anything." m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J4z6kgiTH2Y.html&pp=2AFEkAIB About next Babymetal reaction....Most unique romantic song and perfomance Babymetal-Babymetal Death| Legend 1997 (That show is most iconic with celebration of Su-Metal birthday.) 🦊🤘 ===================================== What Are You?!? | Harry Mack Omegle Bars 40 ===================================== Wishing you nice day 🙂
I'd forgotten to mention in my last comment.... Did you notice the the motion of admiration SuMetal had for their fans ? It was the same time you were wondering who else was singing. SuMetal had taken her earpiece out so she could hear the crowd singing. She definitely shows her respect for her followers and it was amazing to see. Loved it !!!
🤘🦊🤘 I am a 45 old man, been fan since 2016 when I saw them live in Germany, seen them live 2 times in Japan and 2 more times in Europe since then, and yes you are right, the age range is from teens to elderly (talking 65+) and all genders, so yeah you are right it is a very mixed crowd.
Great reaction! Also, the part where you see Su not singing, the edit is just weird. They probably didn't have a good drone shot of that one portion so they overlaid another part of the performance. That portion of the song is also traditionally traded off between the girls. Su starts, then Momo, (Used to be Yui) then Moa, and it rotates back to Su. The girls all have featured vocal portions in this song which is one reason its such a fan favorite :) Also, nice catch on Dragon force :) Herman Li is an acquaintance of the girls and wrote some of the guitar for this.
@@Abigirl_Reacts That would dope as hell :) Moametal said in an interview that her favorite bands were Metallica, Bring me the Horizon, and Maneskin, Su's said she likes Sabaton. They've already collabed with BMT and Joakim Brodén from Sabaton, so it'd be great to see a collab with the other two :) Moa also mentioned Limp Bizkit... but Durst said some pretty sussy/disrespectful shit after BM went on at a concert years back (The girls were like 15 years old). She nor the other girls have mentioned Bizkit since then. It's gotta suck having one of your idols disrespect you like that.
