BABYMETAL on The First Take?! YES PLEASE?! | Vocal Coach Reaction 

Hello everyone! If you want more of my reactions make sure to join my Patreon www.patreon.com/katriinkamusic , thank you for supporting my channel and helping me create more videos for you! :) Vocal Lessons: www.katriinka.com/

I'm so happy that Su is finally getting some recognition. I hope more people will recognize now what a talented singer she is and her beautiful voice. I have listened to this more than a dozen times now, and it made me cry every single time. There's something about her voice that goes right to my heart.

There is something very theatrical about Suzuka's singing. She doesn't just sing, she tells a story with her intensity and inspirational tonalities to make it come across. Very seldom have I seen this done so well.

I swear Su-Metal's voice makes me tear up with joyous goosebumps every time

Her voice is like a drug that stimulates human emotions. There are many people around the world who are good at singing, but in the case of SU, the voice quality that was born with has already reached a different level!

If you're interested in Moa-Metal's voice look for the song Headbanger on galaxy tour for her 20th birthday. Su gave herr the Mic and she did the last part of the song and she doesn't disapoint at all.

And then I remember she hums in one section of this song during the live concert and it was beautiful.

Thank you for your reaction/analysis. As you said Su-metal has to fit a space and her being from Japan means she was brought up in an other tradition of singing. But she worked hard on what she does and she does it really well as you said.

We need more Babymetal like this,I mean they're great at full speed,but they're even better unplugged!😍😍😍

The opinion of experts is very informative. I was able to learn a lot this time as well. Thank you.😀😀

Some comments on the original video have pointed out that other singers on that channel you often hear breathing. But not in this video. My guess is this says a lot about Su-metal and Moametal's breath control.

This is what I really appreciate of Baby Metal. The band can play as hard as they want, rocking as loud as they want and Su will still sing without them having to change their style. It is the most amazing collaboration, then add the different styles of music that Su can do. Nothing else out there like it.

This song cemented my believes in Su being the absolute best vocalist as of now. She is unmatched in talent.

Can we give an award to Koba for making Babymetal happen? Our lives would have been very different.

🍅💀🍅 🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼 " Just smile " x 100 ! I am happy to have 3 versions of an amazing song !

"Special?" I'm a 58 year old bitter old fart, former death row prison guard, a veteran of 3 wars and a humanitarian mission with really skinny people with AK47s trying to shoot you, and I'm sitting here with tears rolling down my face even though I don't understand a single word she just sang. The girl just melted this heart of stone. So yeah, I'd call that special. It's as much the qualities of her voice as it is its quality.

Su has a quality of great singers of the past in the sense that when she sings, her voice almost compresses it self, makes recording and mixing easy.

Lovely reaction and analysis, and here's hoping they did a second song.🤞

Nakamoto-San sings with so much power. I was able to get right down in front for a show and when she was near the lip of the stage you could hear her over the PA, just crushing it. Powerhouse vocals.

It was like I was being sung a lullaby by a queen. Vulnerable and strong at the same time

Nice reaction. I personally love the way Su fills the vocal notes with emotion. One of the things Koba (their producer) got Moa in Babymetal was because of how compatible her voice is with Su. Who Babymetal was built around. The Sun had to come out. Su was singing Monochrome. The sun comes out at the end of the music video as well. Plus, for their last album Su was represented by the Sun and Moa was represented as the Moon. Long may Babymetal reign over their metal kingdom. The stage in front of a live audience. While their future looks bright. they have a legendary past as well. Babymetal have accomplished things that if it was in a movie, you say that can't happen. But as Su has said All things are possible through Babymetal. When you start off as a pop singer and by 15, you're on a metal world tour. You're going to believe it. Because you made it happen. All in all, Babymetal are still writing their living legend. This performance I hope will get them even more fans. I'm sure we can agree they deserve it.

Thanks from Japan 有難う💛。What I can say now is ... Thank you BABYMETAL. And thank you Koba for your serendipity. You certainly discovered something amazing and sacred for us 13 years ago.

Not that I'm any kind of expert on the subject, but I'm firmly convinced that Suzuka Nakamoto is one of the most talented vocalists out there. Absolutely amazing, and this is such a beautiful version of _Monochrome._

SUは既に幼い頃から長年歌ってきた。しかもここ10年はいつも数万人の大観衆の前で、しかも大音響の演奏の中で歌ってきてるのに、彼女の歌声は生まれたばかりのような純真さに驚かされる。

I was just announced that the back to three members. Momoko Okazaki has joined as a full time member.

No other band this famous worldwide has a female metal lead that sings as good as anyone in pop music that can sing great....imo SUMETAL IS UP THERE WIT THE GREATS IN ROCK MUSIC....PT BENETAR, HEART, ETC

On this show, The First Take, the singer usually sings two songs. I don't know what Babymetal will sing next, but please look forward to it.

Su's amazing voice aside, seriously, her voice is so awesome and I became a fan of babymetal because of her when I didn't really ever listen to metal, but every time you said her voice is gorgeous and beautiful, my mind just automatically answer with "No, you are," because you're so gorgeous and I was mesmerized as I watched your reaction. The clean makeup brought out your eyes so nicely. Anyway, Su's singing is incredibly skilled and you look really great!

Hello from Japan. You are my perfect advocate! Thank you so much!!

Not very many songs make me emotional, but I’m sitting in a machine shop with a bunch of blue collar southern men and I’m trying not to wallow up like a baby. I’m not crying, I just got some dust in my eye.

U should listen to headbanger moametal version if you want to hear more of her singing😃

This Just made me Tear Up of how Amazing they are😭😍

I was waiting for the analysis that know both what Babymetal and The First Take are and this is!!

All hail for sumetal

🤘🦊🤘I always enjoy and learn from your reactions and analysis! Thank you!

Su is an absolute queen. Great reaction and analysis, this video has been on repeat since it got released. To bring a shade of hope to one of humanity's darkest moments, this is art at its finest.

I'm a fan of baby metal since 2013 ♡ they both get better and better everytime I hear them singing ❤

ありがとう😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🇯🇵

I don't know the technicalities, but she's the only one who can sing live for an hour while dancing hard. Most dance groups have a low volume and unstable pitch during concerts.

All hail the queen and the angel of love 🤗❤🤘🦊🤘

That is high praise from you , especially as it comes from someone who knows what they are talking about 😁🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼

Listening to Su-metal sing a song is like watching a drama.

There is only one rule here. " To perform a one-shot performance‼︎” the failure will also be delivered as it is.

Las 3 niñas de blanco son las ex sakura gakuin y no olvidemos que babymetal comenzó siendo un sub grupo de sakura gakuin de Japón y saludos desde Lima Perú

Every syllable is crisp and clear

Welcome back to BabyMetal's metalverse 🦊🤘🌐 I think i remember your Karate reaction, i would have love to watch more reaction but i know the copyright blocked ninjas are annoying. If you want another unique ballad version try to reach Akatsuki Unfinished Version live at Legend 1997 held in 2013. Love this Piano version, last time we got a new version like this was "The One - Stairway To Living Legend", another beautiful ballad. Thanks for sharing your analysis, is really nice to hear reactors who actually know what they're talking about. See you next time.🦊🤘🌈

How many times has this voice made me cry?

Hi Coach! Thanks for reacting this video. The vibes and the tone of the studio was different from the usual “the first take”. Probably it was the darkest studio used for the first take channel.

Very nice reaction and analysis. What i love about Su-Metal's singing is that even through she's not the very best singer and still working on her technique, is that she focused more on conveying the message of the song rather than trying to show off her singing skill, every single words coming out is carefully pronounced, and her voice always filled with sincere emotion.

普段、音楽は娯楽として楽しんでいますが、あなたの解説・所感は教養として楽しみました。ありがとうございます。

This new album has a mature sound, this is the only band that has diversified their whole discography, they work with the best musicians and songwriters in Nihon so it is not a surprise that they are one of the best metal bands. They already did a song with piano version "Akatsuki - Unifinished version" so yeah they are unique.

they're absolutely incredible! i've always loved listening to their 2018 performance of no rain no rainbow, amazing and su is a vocal inspiration for me

The queen voice is stunning

Babymetal was created for Su.

Su crushed this performance. What all of us have known for so long, now many more do.

I love your reactions! I was waiting for this one since the premiere on TFT yesterday! So many emotions in this version!

Watched many Baby Metal videos, no idea what they're called. Cool, cool.

Best video to hear Moa live is Headbanger (Moa-Metal version), Budokan 2021. 🤘🦊

I love that Su uses vibrato so sparingly. It makes it so much more "important" when she does. In fact, the main problem I have with many other Japanese bands (e.g Wagakki Band), especially when the singers are female, is that they tend to use a very wide and fast vibrato, and often all throughout every single held note. I guess it's a reference to traditional Japanese music, but I find that very annoying. I prefer a less wide and slower vibrato, and it's so much more effective when it's added to a note that has already been held steadily for a while. Interestingly, the point where you mention that there's no vibrato (3:38), is where I hear a slight vibrato as the note fades out. Am I wrong? The only point where I miss a little vibrato in this song is at the very end (waratte).

What a gorgeous performance! Those cloaked figures made me think of the Karate music video. I really appreciate how you draw our attention to particular aspects of the performance like Su metal's use of micro-dynamics. It helps me appreciate the music even more. 🤞for another First Take from BABYMETAL!

いちばん嬉しいリアクション　ありがとうございます

Oh, if you wanna listen more Moa solo, look for MoaBanger (Headbanger Moa Version)

They appeared on The First Take again with their new member who I’ve heard is being called MomoMetal

🎧🎶🎙️🎵 WOW

技術的な歌い方からもこの曲の歌詞が読み取れるんですね　素晴らしいです

great reaction and explanations! thank you :)

Thank you 🤘🦊

Since the official departure of the third member of the group, Yui Mizuno, in 2018, the band has only two members credited as vocals, Suzuka Nakamoto (Su-Metal) and Moa Kikushi (Moa Metal), the third member who dances with them on stage is only credited as a dancer and is not part of vocals (and apparently also does not give interviews).

Every time I hear Sumetal sing, I hear what Koba heard in her. I can understand why Kobametal put so much faith in her abilities. One specific thing I love about her singing is that she doesn't over use vabrato, in fact she hardly ever uses it. To many times singers over use it, and sometimes they ruin the song by using it to much. Sumetal uses it just the right amount, so I actually appreciate hearing it when does use it.

You say towards the beginning that you've never got the really enjoy the other girl voices, you should check out the headbanger performance for Moa's 20th birthday!!!

thank you for sharing

Everyone. Check out MoaMetal taking the lead vocals on "HeadBanger" It's amazing. She turned 20 ("hatachi") around then I think 🎉🎉 Epic

Chills and goosebumps inducing

Hi Katriinka! It's such a joy to see Su-metal recognized by great professionals and coaches like yourself! We Babymetal fans have known for quite some time that Su is quite special, and one of a kind... By the way, on the weekend of April 1st and April 2nd, Babymetal will be announcing their new official third member during their two live performances in Yokohama, Japan. Stay tuned!

Love it

The other girl gets a solo bit in headbanger, which is pretty sick.

Nakamoto Suzuka (Su-Metal) is the lead vocalist in Babymetal. Kikuchi Moa (MoaMetal) is listed as scream and dance, but she has a good set of pipes, you can hear that on the song Headbanger (MOA banger) where she sings the entire last part of the song. Beautiful! (Moa- Banger) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-N0wc6PBjzYc.html&ab_channel=HEAD123456

the piano almost took a studio ghibli turn and I am here for it

Piercing. Exceptional journey. Just wanna repeat that. Thank you, to you, and Babymetal.

Thank you so much for the breakdown. Very insightful.

One of the girls left years ago, now is Moa and Su which are the two in the video. They have angel voices ❤

Just beautiful 🤘🤘🤘

Now we know wich Singers we want for Frozen 3 :D

🤍💖

they are now three once again Okazaki Momoko is now officially known as Momometal

I think you should react on DIMASH D8 performance in Gakku

Vocal coach reaction vs Baby Metal World Domination. If only they'd met you earlier, they might have been successful. Lol.

Sugoi 🤘😎🤙

It sounds like a disney song . I love it but that's what it reminds me of

Metal Kingdom would fit The First Take but I'm think a piano version of Karate that could be awesome

I've heard of them a bit, but only on the "Babymetal isn't Metal" type of discourse of sort 😅, though Idk them but I think they're awesome regardless!! 🤩

🤘🦊🤘

listen to headbanger moametal ver. when you want hear moa sing

I'm so into this

They are officially a three piece group again, Momoko became the third permanent member recently.

If you want to hear Moa's voice spotlighted, search for "Moabanger" - a birthday performance where Su hands over the microphone part of the way through "Headbanger!". Moa ditches the little girl backing vocal sound and really takes the song home. And then there's Momo, the band's new third member. She is a very different element to the band and adds something offbeat and quirky to the line-up.

Hi Katriinka! Nice to FINALLY see you reacting to Babymetal again! You mentioned you'd like to hear Moa sing more and see how her vocals are. May I recommend what is commonly called Moabanger then? It is the song Headbanger...which I THINK I remember you reacting to, but Moa at one point in the song takes over. It is pretty cool to witness. You'll discover Moa also have vocal chops as well. Anyhow, great reaction! I'm looking forward to the next first take as well. I have a feeling it'll be Light and Darkness. To me that song would be the easiest to convert to a piano solo type of song. I could be wrong though!! lol

I love to watch her performance when she was 9 to 11. I think she is a natural born singer. Those records are still available on youtube.

personally I prefer clean belts. I can't recall Su using vibrato. She is and always has been an exceptional singer.

I can suggest You another Japanise all female band: Lovebites. The first could be Edge of the World always live! Thanks.
