I don't have a "favorite". I do listen to "Awadama Fever" every day. Having listened to the new performance of "YAVA", I might include it also. Su's vocals are 🔥🔥. 🦊 🖖❤
My favorite songs are Monochrome, Rondo of Nightmare, From Dusk Till Dawn, and Syncopation. On that note, a new performance of Syncopation was at Legend MM. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ffZO_zxDIvM.html You may also want to check out the new performance of YAVA! with the Kami band intro. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5S-KjCFoS_E.html
My favorite songs are Monochrome, Rondo of Nightmare, From Dusk Till Dawn, and Syncopation. On that note, there's a new performance of Syncopation from Legend MM which I do have. You may also want to check out YAVA! with Kami band intro (unfortunately the official channel version cut the Kami band intro). I am slowly uploading what's allowed off the new LMM Blu-ray, and subtitling them.
love this version of Light and Darkness over the studio version. then Night Night Burn just shows Su can sing any style and genre of music and make it hers. just a fun dancing song. bet they will play this when they go to Brazil later this year.
@@JasonsSongStop i do know last year they did the same 10 songs at all venues with one song changing to ease the tour. But either way you will see live they are as good as you see in videos. Enjoy.
Great reaction! Light and Darkness has only been performed twice, and is probably one of the most difficult songs to sing, even for SU-METAL. Night Night Burn is a fun song with hidden word play in Japanese. It was performed in Barcelona and Madrid last year.
Nice double reaction! Thanks for the re-upload. I am in school now and will watch it again when I get home. I enjoy playing bass guitar." I can now play "No Rain No Rainbow" even though I'm not very good at it. Thanks to you, Jason🦊🎸💕
@@yunametal344 Here is my guitar playthrough video of my original song if you'd like to see how I play! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4fuoVO31O_8.htmlsi=Dv_hkMJgTAcWDDjS
14:08 that's Kano Fujihara (1 of the avengers). Night Night Burn has been performed 3 times, 1 time in 2020 (with Kano Fujihara) and 2 other times on December 10th and 11th of 2023 with Momometal
Babymetal are great at doing songs with ethnic flare to them, "Night Night Burn"certainly has a Latin flare to it, other songs that they have done with a ethnic feel are "Shanti Shanti Shanti" with it's Indian flavour, Metalizim with a very Arabian feel, "Oh! Majinai" featuring Joakim Brodén the lead singer of Sabaton that has a Eastern European /Celtic/Scandinavian folk dance, "Meto Taro" Viking Metal... I don't know of any other group that can mix Metal, J pop and ethnic music like Babymetal does .
@@JasonsSongStop There's new YAVA (with Kami band intro), Kagerou (with Kami band intro), Believing and MAYA performances from Legend MM. Right now the only ones i can put up are YAVA and Believing. I can send you links to MAYA and Kagerou on your community page.
Both songs exellent Su's vocals and exellent courography . Su fantastic when her aahhs got louder and did not even take another breath for the last one ❤❤❤ 😁🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
Light and Darkness has only been performed live three times, and I'm fortunate that I was there to see all three of them live, including this one. The PIA Arena show was called "Babymetal Begins: The Other One - Black Night & Clear Night". Like most of the big Babymetal shows, it was a two night performance, with each night being different a different setlist and different lore videos. Night #1 was Black Night, which was Momoko's last night as an Avenger and the last night they wore the old 10 Babymetal Budokan outfits. It was promoted as the night the mysteries of the Black Box (which was part of The Other One Restoration Project lore) would be revealed. This show featured a mixture of classic fan favourites like Megitsune, Gimme Chocolate, and Karate, as well as premiere performances of new songs from The Other One including Maya, MIrror Mirror, and Believing. The finale of the show was the announcement of the new Babymetal lineup with Su-metal, Moametal, and Momometal, the reveal of their new outfits, the revised band logo, as well as a performance of the rarely played Shin version of Babymetal Death (probably the heaviest track in Babymetal's entire catalogue). Night #2 was Clear Night, which was labeled as the night that all the mysteries would become clear. This was the night that Momometal debuted as a full member of Babymetal with a microphone and doing vocals, as well as the debut of their new outfits that they would wear throughout the 2023 world tour. Like the first night, it was a mixture of old and new songs, but they played some different ones to the previous night, including Light and Darkness, which they played for the third and to date last time. Over the course of the two nights, they performed the entirety of The Other One album, with many of the performances being live premieres. They also played the Iine (with two i's) live for the first time in six years, to the complete surprise of everyone in attendance. Looking back on what took place, it's probably one of the most important Babymetal shows in a long time and it's clear that they went all out to make it as spectacular and memorable as possible, and I feel really fortunate to have been able to be there to see it in person. PIA Arena is a smaller venue than most of the ones that Babymetal typically plays in Japan, with a capacity of only 12,000, so it was a very difficult show to get tickets to even for fan club members.
Wow thanks for your amazing insights! That is very cool that you were able to attend the Pia Arena show! It seems like a highly important show for Babymetal and was truly impressive 😁🤟🦊
Baby Metal used classic Afro-Cuban rhythms for the base of this song in the mambo-style made famous by Tito Puente, Machito, Eddie Palmieri and Mongo Santamaria. So what you end up with is Japanese metal-mambo dance music accented with Baby Metal's stellar choreography. They brought the house down when they played this in Barcelona and Madrid in their 2023 European tour.
Great double reaction as always, thanks Two really interesting songs that share some aspects like the fact they have been performed only three times each. Also both of them are way outside my alley musically and it took me a few extra listens until they grew on me. And of course, it was their live performances what made it happen. I've never experienced "Light and Darkness" live but I got "Night Night Burn!" in Barcelona and Madrid last December... and it was wild! 😁 🤘🦊
Honestly after watching SU singing Light and Darkness live it’s unreal how she sings, like damn... Do you hear that dynamics!? Lol & the song is actually so deep, she really conveys a lot of the atmosphere of the song & its lyrics, without SU’s singing it wouldn't hit the same.
she is the singer who can best convey the content of the song correctly, both from his body movements and vocal dynamics. She his often done this in previous and subsequent songs such as amore, NRNR, akatsuki un/fin, RON, monochrome un/fin and the legend and I once heard his sing an acapella headbanger in one of the videos uploaded by fans. and ROR when she was checking the sound at their concert before it started.
My favorite babymetal song based on albums: 1st Album (Babymetal) : No Rain No Rainbow 2nd Album (Metal Resistance) : Syncopation 3rd Album (Metal Galaxy) : Starlight 1st Concept Album (The Other One) : Monochrome
@@NickTesla-le8kh Correct! Su wasn't happy with her performance in this song because she was more focused on hitting the right notes than in conveying the emotions. So, they left it out their first album (they premiered it in Legend 1999 in 2013). And that was also the reason they didn't perform it much. BUT she finally killed it in Legend-S, hands down! 😀👍
Nice reaction! Light and Darkness is a very serious song, at least for BABYMETAL. A masterpiece, nonetheless! And Night Night Burn is a latin banger! You have to watch the reaction if the Spanish fans in Barcelona and Madrid (there are quite well done fancams of these performances out there!), they loved it 😄
Great reactions! I love both songs, for completely different reasons. *Light and Darkness:* I believe the lyrics speaks to a "toxic love" that brings joy and drowns the protagonist at the same time. Yet, it is so strong, it will never let go, no matter how much the protagonist wishes to "jump out". A duality that is also reflected by the instrumentation. Love the deepness of this song! *Night Night Burn!:* Just such a unique song and an amazing dance vibe, can't help but move to it. Never would I have even imagined "salsa/flamenco metal" being a thing, haha. Babymetal strikes again! 🤣 *Favorite Babymetal Song:* Man this is a tough one, probably a tie between Monochrome and Akatsuki, but there are so many others too!! haha. 🤘🦊
@@JasonsSongStop Oooooo that one is amazing!! You may also want to pair Akatsuki (Budokan 2014) it with "Amore" from Wembley 2016 (use Babymetal Reactor's Resource for Amore). Both are Su-metal solos, and "love ballads" (but Babymetal style). I believe Amore is loosely a "follow-up" to Akatsuki. Not sure where I read that though. Either way, 2 extremely amazing performances and songs!
Nice reaction. Light and darkness is Babymetals disco metal song. Finding mixes where they shouldn't work and making them work. Babymetal magic. A double feature with another song telling us why Babymetal has doki doki mornings. Night Night Burn. Partying all night will definitly get you some doki doki mornings. DDM is Babymetals first song and is about waking up late and getting ready for the day in a rush. Night Night Burn has a great latin feel to it. Moa's part is kawaii and we love it. Also whenever she sang she moved to the middle of the firmation of the three of them. Moa getting much deserved spotlight time. Enjoy the journey through the foxhole and into the Babymetal galaxy of music. Kitsune up
@@JasonsSongStop There's a new performance of Doki Doki Morning from Legend MM, it's now on the official cha nnel, and mine. Legend MM is a treasure trove of new performances of old songs.
Good reviews. Slight correction, the video of Night Night Burn had Kano as the third member at the time (one of 3 rotating extra dancers known as "Avengers" until they had their permanent 3rd member again in Momo)
The third party streaming company has a perpetual hold on just Light and Darkness, of all the PIA Arena performances. It's strange, and I am starting to thinking they just forgot to remove it when the Blu-ray came out, and there hasn't been a reason for them to even check. Both Night Night Burn and Light and Darkness are two really under appreciated songs that don't get many reactions. Light and Darkness is one of my favorites off TOO album. My interpretation of the theme is that the love will exist no matter how many mistakes are made, even if you wished it didn't at times, and love should be kept through the good and the bad.
👍 👍 Thanks for reacting to a HQ Pro Shot of Light and Darkness instead of a LIVE from the BABYMETAL site. In my opinion BABYMETAL Official LIVE videos (even the ones that contain LIVE audio) too many times feel overproduced tinkering with Suzuka's LIVE vocals. Why? They more than anyone should realize the unmatched talent she possesses. Her LIVE vocals need nothing added or detracted. Night Night Burn is an underrated song in my opinion (the choreography and Suzuka's ability to once again perform a different genre make this a great performance). Moa's tico tico ting tico tico tico ting ting ting is wonderful.
Favorite BABYMETAL songs? There are so many (this is an incomplete list)😉 Shine LIVE Brand New Day LIVE Kagerou LIVE with Kami Band intro Monochrome LIVE Megitsune LIVE Karate LIVE Metal Kingdom LIVE at PIA ARENA Shanti Shanti Shanti LIVE Catch Me If You Can LIVE Headbanger LIVE
