BABYMETAL- Mirror Mirror- REACTION 

I'm Japanese. Thank for your great reaction. Babymetal's members belong to the biggest entertainment company in Japan and are famous star (acting in TV. CM. etc) from when a child. And, Suzuka Nakamoto (The lead singer of Babymetal) is a very famous singer. BABYMETAL was created to make use of her talent.😀

Welcome back to the Foxhole and BabyMetal's metalverse 🦊🤘🌐 I'm glad to see old BM fans and reactors coming back to hear more BM songs and this new album, they're showing a BM side we've never seen before with more mature sound. I'm pretty sure everyone was looking for this type of songs and is even one of SuMetal's favorite from this album. I like the progressive metal elements, that heavy breakdown and the existential questions. There's also a reference to Macbeth in the lyrics besides the obvious lines famously known by Snow White tale. Here's some official info: Mirror Mirror (MIRROR) _Mirror, mirror on the wall...this song embodies a parallel world where the world inside the mirror and the world of reality go back and forth._ _Is what you see in the mirror your true self or the self you wish to be?_ They also got official lyrics of this song. Recently they finished the UK leg of the Sabaton's Europe Tour, yesterday was Paris turn, and today was Germany time, everyone is having a blast and they will come back to Europe at the end of the year, this World Tour year is gonna be awesome, the US will get another live shows with the Babyklok Tour along with Dethklok and they will be part of more festivals shows. You need to update the thumbnail thou because that's one is really old and one of the members called YuiMetal left the group in 2018, now they got another member recently announced as official called MomoMetal, also the logo title change, you can find pictures about it. Also today they released another official MV from this album called METALIZM, try it whenever you want and come back to share your thoughts. Thanks for sharing this, the rest of the album tracks are already available in their own channel, so get ready for more blaster tracks. See you next time!🦊🤘🪞

Sounds good I like them

ありがとうございます🤘🦊♪

Shhhhh...no one tell him about "Tales of the Destinies"!! It would pop his bubble of simplicity...LoL!! Put your Kitsune UP!!

Welcome back. You are right, they are unique, there is nobody else quite like them (some have tried to follow in their footsteps, none have come even close yet). Are you sure about the "basic song structure with no real intricacy"? That may apply to a couple of their fun songs like 'Gimme Chocolate', but this sounds like it has many Prog Metal elements and time signature changes to me. It isn't even the first time they dabbled with Prog Metal - 'Tales of the Destinies' is their homage to Dream Theater and that was on the second album as long ago as 2016. All of this latest album is great - and as always there is a whole lot of variety from one song to the next, none of them the same, none of them filler. You could do more reactions either to the other songs on this album or maybe digging deeper into their past catalogue to see how 'Gimme Chocolate' was pretty much a one-off and how wrong people were to dismiss them or to think that's all they did or were on the basis of that one song ... because of how different all the other and older songs were. Live performances are always best with BABYMETAL too (the official videos are all good and worth seeing, but they are a live performance act, that is where they are always at their best).

Welcome to the Babymetal journey. New subscriber here. 🔥🔥🔥🤟🤟🤟🦊🦊🦊

BabyMetal began in 2010 there were Suzuka Nakamoto age 12 Moa Kikuchi and Yui Mizuno (Yui left in 2018 due to health reasons). Both Moa and Yui were only 11 when the group began. All three were friends and classmates who attended an idol school (Sakura Gakuin) founded in 2010 by Amuse Talent Agency for girls 10 to 15. Themed around school life the girls would learn and train to be idols and graduate at age 15 to move onto whatever entertainment path they chose. Key Kobayashi was a music producer for Amuse and heard Suzuka sing at age 9 and was impressed with her strong vocals and stage presence. Kobayashi was a fan of heavy metal but believed that the genre had become stale and tired (especially in Japan) with metal bands getting old Kobayashi believed the genre needed to be reborn (BabyMetal means the birth of a new metal genre). Kobayashi felt that Suzuka had the ability to front a metal band and that her vocals and presence could withstand the metal guitars and drums. The fusion of Jpop and Metal began. He placed Moa and Yui as backup singers/dancers and a phenomenon was about to result. At first Amuse showed no interest and the girls had only financing from Kobayashi. They performed at strip malls and small venues using clothes borrowed from friends and family. No money for a real band they had friends dressed in homemade skeleton costumes pretending to play instruments to a backtrack. They became a sensation (these young ladies paid their dues) and Amuse saw the potential and in 2012 hired the best session musicians Japan had to offer (The Kami Band) who tours with them today (now includes world class musicians from the USA for tours outside of Asia). If you choose to explore more of BabyMetal I suggest reacting to LIVE performance videos as this is where they shine. They have over 50 LIVE songs/performances and each one is different. They are fearless exploring many genres and have the respect of the legends of Metal such as Metallica, Slipknot, Rob Zombie, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Judas Priest and more. Avoid Glastonbury LIVE performances as the sound production by the BBC (who was in charge of that festival did a terrible job - mics not turned on, incorrect volume levels, etc.) Suggest reacting to these for a start. Karate LIVE at 2016 Download Festival in the UK where 60,000+ British metal heads sing along with the girls. Megitsune LIVE at Budokan 2021 Road of Resistance LIVE in Japan Headbanger LIVE Catch Me If You Can LIVE with Kami Band intro At their concert in Yokohama on April 1 it was announced that a permanent third member Momoko Okazaki (who is also a graduate of Sakura Gakuin and has been appearing with them LIVE since 2019) has officially become the third member. Their new album in my opinion that released March 24 is amazing with so many different styles. Good luck and hope to see you again.

Listen again, there's a shed load of instrumentation, prog , thrash , doom, hints of syncopation. Technically, Kami bands( east and west) , are top tier.

One of the biggest things that puts me off so many other bands is boring vocals. Even if the singer has a good voice, so many of them sing every song the exact same way. Same deliver, same tempo, same inflections in the voice, same everything. I love that Su is challenged to sing in different ways depending on the song. It makes the songs so much more interesting. For me, all the bells and whistles Babymetal has in their shows would mean nothing and Su's beautiful voice would mean much less if she didn't sing the songs in an interesting way.

Basic song structure, little intricacy? 😆😁 Oh ye of little knowledge and faith. 😉 Just give Tales of the Destinies LIVE a look. Or their new release Metalizm (Official MV dropped today) then come back to us. This is all in good fun.

A note about your thumbnail: it depicts Sumetal, Moametal, and Yuimetal. In the first place, Yui Mizuno officially left the band in 2018 and, second, she had absolutely nothing to do with this song. It may behoove you to do a modicum of research before arbitrarily grabbing pictures for your thumbnails. Just saying.
