Luv babymetal! The 1997 Legend concert version of 'Death' will blow you away even more. For a changeup that is probably right down your alley... try Nemophila 'Zen' Live... just amazing. Japan girls are the future right now.. soooo much fun in their music!
Great reaction, bro! As others have mentioned- check out Death Legend 1997. Technically, it’s still Death - but the legend 1997 performance will blow your mind like hearing BM for the first time again. I’m sure we’ll all watch and enjoy along with you!!
Another reactor falling on this YT suggestion smh Everyone is ruining their first time watching this song with this version instead of the live at Legend 1997 (2013). If only reactors read comments and follow suggestions from subscribers. Btw the song title is "Babymetal Death" not just Death alone, and the uploader of this song is a shady fan who only likes to share pics and clips from the girls when being young and underage, so kindly suggest you to stay away from that place. Have a nice weekend.🦊🤘
Great reaction as always, thanks! Song's name is actually "BABYMETAL Death" and that was a really good version. But not as shocking as the Legend 1997 one. The name of the song and the lyrics are a play on words with "desu" which means "I am" or "we are" and mispronounced sounds like "death". So they are basically introducing themselves. It was used for years as a show opener until Yui's departure. And they recovered it in 2023 with the addition of Momometal. By the way, you better take care of the trolls. 🤔 🤘🦊
Great show opener, isn't it? I hadn't seen this one so appreciated the new experience, great view of the band too. However the Legend 1997 video is the definitive one for the immense production and the extra events :D Well worth checking out as another reaction, honestly
An interesting take posted on BABYMETAL REDDIT by VulpineDeity: Take it a step farther. Not only does 'SU-METAL DESU' mean she's introducing herself, it's also her super-hero transformation phrase. Like on Sailor Moon, Usagi says 'Moon Prism Power!' and turns into Sailor Moon, Suzuka Nakamoto shouts 'I AM SU-METAL' and becomes possessed by the spirit of the Fox God and transforms into the Metal Goddess SU-METAL. The magical girl who transforms into a hero is a huge trope in Japan, comparable to Disney princesses in the west. BABYMETAL DEATH! follows the trope and it's the moment that they all transform into their magical alter egos at the start of the show. 🦊 🖖 ❤

Great reaction! This is a good version of the song, so don't take it to heart of people wanting the Legend 1997 or PIA arena 2023 versions. Both of those are great in their own right and you should check them out, but I always loved the entrance on this one. Looking forward to you heading down the foxhole 🦊
Welcome back, its been too long. Great reaction. 'BABYMETAL Death' was the opening song on their first album and it really is a play on words. I'm sure you will have a lot of comments about you should have watched the Legend 1997 performance rather than this one ... not that this one is bad (other than the channel it comes from perhaps), but the Legend 1997 performance had some very special theatrics, so I also hope you will watch that performance as well. The English word death sounds to a Japanese speaker like the Japanese word desu (the U is silent) spoken with a slight lisp. Desu mean "to be - I am - you are - we are - it is" etc so in 'BABYMETAL Death' they are simply introducing themselves and the band - the lyrics are simple: "B_A_B_Y_M_E_T_A_L" "Su-metal desu" "Yuimetal desu" "Moametal desu" "BABYMETAL desu". So basically "I am Su-metal" "I am Yuimetal" "I am Moametal" "We are BABYMETAL". Normally it would be the opening number in their concerts, occasionally they would use it later in the show, but that would be on special occasions ... and they added a lot of theatrics when they did that (eg Legend 1997 for Su-metal's 16th birthday in December 2013 and Legend S for her 20th in December 2017). Legend S was the last time they had performed this version of 'BABYMETAL Death' - until it was brought back for BABYMETAL Begins, Clear Night last April after Momometal had been revealed as the third member of the new BABYMETAL. From then on it was back as the opening song for most or all of their concerts for the rest of the year. Oh, just so you know, Su did not do that scream - screams like that are among the very few times you will see her pretending, but that is just for the show.
The part where the girls walked onto the stage made me feel like they were walking down the stairs from a space battleship with lightsabers. This fits the concept that they are from other galaxies. Thanks for your great reaction.
You can include Metallica on the list of those who like BabyMetal (they toured together). Also add Rob Halford, who called them "the future of Metal". I may be wrong, but I think they did something with Korn (?).

I'm curious, who would have recommended this version of Babymetal Death for the current reaction? Is it too sensitive now when it comes to religion? Therefore someone recommend another version of this song? Hmmm..
you might enjoy the other version found here on RU-vid. It's quite a bit more "upsetting" to a western/christian audience, but I enjoy it more. If possible find the version with english subtitles. That will really help.
