BABYMETAL | Monochrome (Reaction) 

Man why did I feel this differently then most, kami band is what they call the members during the live show! Enjoyed your reaction!

People who don't know: 🤘🥰🥳 People who know: 🥺😢😭

I want BABYMETAL to be the one and only existence that is HEAVY METAL if you just listen to it, but becomes HAPPY METAL when you watch it😊😊😊😊.

They're using the Norse mythology to narrate one of most horrible tragedies in the humankind history, Hiroshima and Nagasaki suffered this monochrome "fireworks" but she's giving us hope that if this war or any other sad moment (like the recent pandemic) is happening today, the colors will be back.🦊🤘🌈 So far these are the only one credited and none of them are members of the Kami Band since they only play live. *Monochrome*　 Lyrics : MK-METAL　 Music & Arrangement : YUPPEMETAL (aka Yuyoyuppe) he's the one behind songs you like it and mentioned like Karate, Rondo Of Nightmare, Megitsune and Kagerou, very accurate ear.👍 "Ijime Dame Zettai" is the song you were talking about but you can called it IDZ (idz) for short.

Great reaction. BABYMETAL's studio recordings are played by "anonymous" studio session musicians (one exception being Kami Band member Leda Cygnus who played guitar and bass for a handful of the songs). The Kami Band will play their own interpretations of the songs in live concerts. 'Monochrome' and its video seems (to me and some others at least) to reference the Hiroshima bombing (Su is from Hiroshima) - the "monochrome firework" could be the bomb and the tree they used throughout and that was finally shown in colour at the end could be the Hiroshima Peace Tree that survived the bombing. There are also visuals that look like explosions and flashes of light through the video. It also talks about falling rain which could relate to the black acid rain that followed as a result of the the bomb and the ash seeding the clouds and in the aftermath of the bombing survivors used umbrellas to try to protect themselves from radioactive fallout ... the acid rain was also referenced in the kamishibai before 'No Rain, No Rainbow' at the legend S concerts. I read another comment that said something that sort of looks like an explosion changing into a sort of blooming flower which could be the Oleander which is a plant that survived the bombing and was "designated the official flower of Hiroshima for its remarkable vitality". It is a softer, more mellow song than 'Divine Attack', but it is deep and meaningful and emotional despite that - but it does seem to be a song of hope with the last line "just smile" and the visuals flooded with colour at the end.

🍅💀🍅 🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼 " Just smile "

The person who composed for the song also composed Karate & Rondo of Nightmare. I like his melodic approach to metal songs, makes them catchy but also melancholic imo

Nice reaction!! You are having fun with the music. I thought it was a relatively familiar melody.

Not a huge fan of the other 2 tracks but I LOVE this one

Great reaction, thanks! Although I still prefer "Divine Attack" musically, they went way deeper lyrically here with some obscure references to the end of the world and also to their song "No rain no rainbow". Also the visuals confirms that direction depicting several nuclear blasts and a post-apocalyptic situation. But they decided to end it with an optimistic message: "We will illuminate the world in rainbow colors. Just smile." as the final lines.
