⚡ / 🔴 🌙 Guitarists that night were Leda Cygnus and Takayoshi Ohmura. Kami Band guitarist Mikio Fujioka is the one who passed away January 8th, 2018. Hideki Aoyama was on drums and BOH on bass. This was from Black Night, the second night at Budokan on March 2nd, 2014. Su was 16.
Every once in a while I watch this video of Mikio Fujioka testing a Marshal amplifier. The part at 0:45 to 1:50 is so amazingly beautiful. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cmrUa6K3EWs.html
I just went to a concert with Babymetal on Wednesday here in Copenhagen Denmark. It was amazing. It was not a giant venue, so I got really close to them I could almost touch them! I also used a lot of money on merchandise. 😂 I freaking love Babymetal! And I just learned about them right after new year's.
Nice to see you new Babymetal reaction! _Akatsuki_ was my first lasting number one among their songs. Now I feel like _Ijime, Dame, Zettai_ holds this position :) You're right, they played at Budokan twice but those were two consecutive nights in 2014 -- March 1st (Red Night) and 2nd (this Black Night). In 2016 they also used the circle stage for their Tokyo Dome shows and those were performed in front of a crowd several times bigger (55,000 fans at each of the two nights, Red and Black again).
As the honorable Rick Wagner pointed out, those guitarists were Leda Cygnus and Takayoshi Ohmura. Ohmura was not only a former student of the late Mikio Fujioka, but also very close friends. To this day, Ohmura will play Mikio’s favorite red guitar at some point during a show!😭💪🏻🤘🏻
Finaly!! I wait like 8 months to you react to this! My top 2 favorite Babymetal song 🤘😎🤘 also this was in the 2014 not the 16 🤔 great greaction BJ! kitsune up! 🤘🦊🤘
Sorry for commenting late, I saw your upload minutes after it was published before any comments, but I was busy watching people live stream Babymetal on their phone from Paris, I had to watch that first. :-)
Great to see you continue the Babymetal reactions. Maybe I missed the video ,but I've been waiting for your tale of going to the concert. I know you broke your toe, but not much else from your show.
Great reaction! Thanks!! Yes, this one was the "correct" version. I really love this song and it ranks on my top favorites list along with "Megitsune". Since you have covered the basics about BABYMETAL songs I'd like to suggest you some Black BABYMETAL like "Sis anger" (not a ballad either hehe...) Cheers!
You have to see the unfinished version of this! This is my favorite song! Not just of theirs, but period! The unfinished version is a stripped down ballad version of this and will leave you in tears! Especially if you know the lyrics! You can find translated lyrics on their website. Please react to it if you can.
Only your right side audio is coming through...can hear Takayoshi but not LEDA. Strange...But thanks for another great Babymetal Reaction!! Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!
Please girl, you've got to let go of this age thing. You have the energy of a teenager! And that whats counts, Imho. A long time ago I met a man in a pub, he was talking about World War 1. I looked at him and it didn't add up at all. I asked his age and he was 92! Didn't look a day older than 60. He said his secret was, always be young and feel young, no matter what. Oh, and loved your reaction, lol.
One if not the very best version of this song, from 5:50 till the end, you can hear how she's pushing her voice to her limits and beyond... I expected some of the lights to blow into pieces! 🤘🦊⚡ Also the one performed in Legend S Baptism XX is very spectacular, the Kami probably played even better than here.
"So it's an other slow one" LOL, will always love reaction videos because such things.:-) "I don't even know what to pay attention to" yep, as you know, that's what Babymetal is, an assault of the senses. :-) It's from 2014, Su-metal was 16 (!) years old. The U in Akatsuki is silent, so it's actually pronounce: Akatski. Su-metal yells at 2:12 Akats[u]ki Da ! The title Akatsuki probably was meant as: red moon. Which is probably a reference to Kurenai (Crimson Moon) by X-Japan. I knew you were writing a lot, but 3 at the same time is a bit crazy. And then complain about energy, right.. I kind of don't believe you anymore after that fact LOL Please don't sell yourself short. You need to be fit for the next Babymetal show LOL
You ain't old. 65 is oldish, late middle age. Your okay. How's the toe? Love your reactions. Babymetal forever! if you got Babymetal why in the hell would anyone need Metallica?
"Shining in the depths of your eyes the moon is about to cry. Red tears overflow and dye the night sky. In the silence the two damaged blades stand face to face. Our loneliness and our uneasiness slash even our hearts. Going over thousands of nights some love shall survive. So until my body perishes, until my life disappears, I shall keep on cherishing this love." Hi BJ! Good reaction! I am always conflicted when I hear this version of "Akatsuki". It's such a sad song, but the music is so energetic and heavy, I am torn. Your pronunciation is almost perfect, but Japanese has a tendency to not pronounce U's, so it's more like "a-cat-ski". The title is "Crimson Moon" and it's about teenage love lost. I'll tell you, if you don't want to cry don't watch this "unfinished" version: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zS-gB0wYeM0.html
a-kat-ski The U is silent after an S. This wasn't from 2016, it was from 2014. You liked this, you should try Rondo of Nightmare (With Mischief of Metal Gods intro) from the same show: Budokan Black Night 2014 [ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QxYAcIyk2Co.html ] And if you want something COMPLETELY different, try the short version of BABYMETAL DEATH [ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BEQ5m3GPJ_s.html ]
I haven't read any of the other comments but I'm sincerely hoping that someone is supplying the link for the "unfinished" version. So beautiful, powerful, & emotional.
I'd say that it's still lyrically a ballad, but certainly not slow. Well, I don't think there were any doubts that you were part of The One before you even went to the concert, but there's certainly no denying it when you're willing to risk life and limb (or at least a toe) for them. It's still preferable to not break anything, so be careful. :D
I couldn‘t help but smile at the beginning when you said „So it‘s another slow one“. Not quite correct. :-) It‘s a really great song. All of Su‘s solos are great, she always rules the stage and her vocals really shine. I‘d say I‘m probably around your age (maybe a tad older), but I can definitely say that at no age I have ever had their amount of energy. What a coincidence that you are asking, there actually is another version of this song, and that one is indeed a ballad. Please check it out, and bring some tissues: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zS-gB0wYeM0.html
Great review of a great performance! Babymetal concerts are wonderful, but some songs lose their context along the way. Akatsuki is about a young woman’s internal conflict. Here is the original performance, complete with its back story. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kzrjVDbZfQo.html
Whatever you do NOT review this one: Kimi to Anime ga Mitai from the same show... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5NJXi72kC_s.html heh heh heh
As the honorable Rick Wagner pointed out, those guitarists were Leda Cygnus and Takayoshi Ohmura. Ohmura was not only a former student of the late Mikio Fujioka, but also very close friends. To this day, Ohmura will play Mikio’s favorite red guitar at some point during a show!😭💪🏻🤘🏻
