Country Singer Reacts To BABYMETAL Road Of Resistance 

> "almost like a DragonForce-feel to it" Well... Herman Li and Sam Totman from DragonForce co-wrote this song and even played guitar-parts for the studio recording. So it no wonder you had this feel. :) > "tight band" Their musicians are called Kami-Band (Band of Gods). All of them top-notch session musicians. > "How old are these girls?" When the show this footage is from was recorded in 2015, they were 17 (lead singer) and 15 (backup singers / dancers). Right now, they are 22/21. > "What are they saying?" The lead singer shouts "We are..." and then the backup-singers in unison with the crowd answering "BABYMETAL!". Since they are obviously new to you, let me provide some basic facts about them: BABYMETAL is around since 2010 when the three girls were 11 and 12 years old. They originally were part of the school-themed idol-project Sakura Gakuin (Cherry Blossom Academy) but parted from SG in 2013 to become an independent act. Back then the band mainly consisted of three girls: Suzuka Nakamoto (aka. SU-METAL, lead vocals) Yui Mizuno (aka. YUIMETAL, backing vocals and dance) and Moa Kikuchi (aka. MOAMETAL, backing vocals and dance) complemented by a bunch of stellar musicians called Kami-Band (Band of Gods) at their live performances. They already have five albums out: "BABYMETAL", rel. 2014 (studio album) "Live at Budokan - Red Night Apocalypse", rel. 2014 (live album) "Metal Resistance", rel. 2016 (studio album) "Live at Wembley", rel. 2016 (live album) "Metal Galaxy", rel. 2019 (studio album) BABYMETAL also has several live recorded shows out on DVD/Blu-Ray which is a good thing because (as you could see for yourself) they are one of the best live bands out there (which earned them many best-live-act-awards). They also never get boring because of their diversity in music styles. Regardless they always manage to stay recognizable. Unfortunately, Mikio Fujioka (their lead guitarist) died from an accident in January 2018 and Yui Mizuno left BABYMETAL in fall 2018 because of health reasons. But despite all that, the band is going strong and achieved, as first Asian act ever, a number one notation at the billboard rock charts with their recently released album "Metal Galaxy". My recommendations for the start are: *"Ijime, Dame, Zettai"* live at Sonisphere Festival 2014 in the UK ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ro-_cbfdrYE.html *"Karate"* live at Download Festival 2016 in the UK ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qXF94RGYEmw.html *"Rondo of Nightmare"* live at Nippon Budokan in 2014 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8WBDiLMNZcE.html *"Syncopation"* live video compilation ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uZ11JUZM8V0.html *"Shanti Shanti Shanti"* live at Glastonbury Festival 2019 in the UK ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-w5AlEavdipA.html And last but not least let me copy/paste the lyrics real quick: *Road of Resistance* Dying the eastern sky true red, the light of signal fire tells the end of the darkness of solitude. It's a new guidepost. Even if you are crushed, again and again, burn your flame of heart! Now is the time! Is the time! This moment right now. Is the time! Is the time! Living together. Just now is the time! Is the time! I sing for the you of tomorrow. Now the time has come. Go for Resistance! [Resistance!] Resistance! [Resistance!] Wow wow wow wow wow. Our hearts are one. If you believe in your way, go on even the way without a path! Forever! [Forever!] Forever! [Forever!] Wow wow wow wow wow. In the depths of our heart, the hot Metal spirit is burning. It is our Resistance. Wow wow wow wow... As long as life continues, I will never turn my back to reality. Today makes tomorrow. Yes, it's our future. On the way, [ah.] Resistance! Resistance! Stand up and shout! [Shout!] Justice forever! If you believe in your way, go on! The answer is here. Forever! [Forever!] Forever! [Forever!] Wow wow wow wow wow. In the depths of our heart, the hot Metal spirit is burning. Our Resistance. Translation by DU-METAL P.S.: Sorry for this wall of text...

This is SuMetal's world and we are just living in it. She is the Queen. 🤘🦊

I think Babymetal has made metal fun again. I mean how can you not smile and feel good when you watch the 3 Queens and the mighty Kami Band dishing out such performances.

"This sounds a lot like Dragonforce" thats because it is Dragonforce they worked with Babymetal on this song and even performed it with them in the past. The Kami Band however, is also extremely extremely talented and can pull off Dragonforce technicality with ease which is what they are doing here.

so much more impressive when you realise this is their encore after a hugely energetic show!

⚡ 💀 💕 / 🏴 🏴 🏴 "Stand up and shout, Shout!, Justice Forever!" - (Road of Resistance) - At the end they're repeating "We are…" "BABYMETAL!". Near the end: "Put your kitsunes (fox signs) up!". And finally, "See you!". Guitarists that night were Takayoshi Ohmura and Leda Cygnus. The bassist was BOH, and the drummer Hideki Aoyama. All guys, known as the Kami Band. BABYMETAL had a woman violinist named MIZ back in 2013 during a short warm up tour, but the musicians have otherwise always been guys. This was a sold out concert (over 20,000) at Saitama Super Arena (SSA) on January 10th, 2015. Lead singer Su-metal (Suzuka Nakamoto, or Su) was 17 years old. Yuimetal (Yui Mizuno) and Moametal (Moa Kikuchi) were both 15.

Kami Band, the live band supporting BabyMetal consisted of a rotating line-up of different musicians since its debut in late 2012. As of late 2013, however, the line-up has been relatively stable, consisting of guitarists Takayoshi Ohmura, Leda Cygnus, Fujioka Mikio (RIP), and ISAO, bassist BOH, and drummers Aoyama Hideki and Yuya Maeta with members occasionally substituting for one another if needed. Some Kami Band members like Leda has contributed to Babymetal's music, most notably on their album Metal Resistance (credited as Ledametal). On December 30, 2017, Kami Band guitarist Mikio Fujioka fell from an observation deck; he died from his injuries on January 5, 2018. Last year the West Kami Band was formed consist of Chris Kelly (Guitar), Clint Tustin (Bass) Anthony Barone (Drum) & CJ Masciantonio (Guitar) primary taking care for their European & US tour.

We are......babymetal

These girls have performed with, toured, or opened for Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Lady Gaga, and Judas Priest, to name a few! Babymetal has been around for 10 (yes, ten) years. I hope you checkout their other songs. Every song is different and fantastic! Their live performances are amazing! Great reaction! Subscribed!

This song was made in collaboration with Dragonforce. Herman Li and Sam Totman are playing the guitars on the official studio version. Babymetal was founded in 2010 and they were around 17 and 15 years old in this video, now they are 22 and 21 years old and still performing around the world, they had a US tour last year and a Europe tour this year. They've been doing live performances since they were really young so they are already very professional at this point.

Babymetal is actually one of the most diverse metal bands I've heard. Their music has elements of thrash, death metal, black metal, nu metal, rap metal... you name it. If it's heavy, they've probably done it.

I haven't listened to anything close to rock or metal since the 80's, and when I did, it wasn't on purpose...but BABYMETAL has gotten this (about to turn 49 years old and does NOT understand Japanese or any other non-english language!) man to listen to metal on purpose, as well as seek out other metal bands...especially very heavy metal bands. If BABYMETAL could get me interested in metal, imagine what they have done and will do to countless other younger people and kids in the world!

looking for a catchy chorus? Check Megitsune. That song it's SO catchy honestly. Good reaction btw.

"Dying the eastern sky true red, the light of the signal fire marks the end of the darkness of solitude, let it be your guide. Even if you are crushed again and again, let your inner fire burn! Now is the time! Is the time! This moment right now, is the time! Is the time! We'll do it together. Just now is the time! Is the time! I sing for the you of tomorrow. Now the time has come. Go for Resistance! Resistance! Our hearts are one. If you believe in your way go on even if you have to forge your own path! Forever! Forever! The hot Metal spirit burns in the depths of our hearts. It is our Resistance." Hi Matthew! Good reaction! Thanks for checking out my favorite band BABYMETAL! They are a Japanese group that mixes J-pop vocals with metal music, a genre they call "Kawaii Metal" which means "Cute Metal". The name is a play on words in Japanese. Heavy metal is spelled: ヘビーメタル (hebi metaru) but if you just add two marks to the first character you get: ベビーメタル (bebi metaru) or BABYMETAL! It's meant to signify the birth of a new form of metal music. At the end of the song they were yelling "We are! BABYMETAL!" Good ear with the DragonForce catch, the guitars for this song were arranged by Herman Li and Sam Totman and they even played them on the studio version of the song! I remember reading that Herman said they purposefully made them more difficult than they normally would because they wouldn't have to be the ones playing them live. It came back to bite them in the ass though as they performed the song with BABYMETAL at the Golden Gods Awards in 2015. BABYMETAL are the three girls but they are backed by the absolute metal masters of the Kami Band. The Kamis represent the gods, or spirits, of their respective instruments. BABYMETAL considers themselves more performing artists than recording artists and are one of the very few bands these days which are much better live! Anyways, if you want to continue down the foxhole with BABYMETAL let me recommend some more videos: "Ijime, Dame, Zettai" - Live at Sonisphere 2014 UK - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ro-_cbfdrYE.html - Title translates to "Bullying, No Good, Absolutely". This was the last song of their first big show in the west where they were bumped up to the main stage. The girls were scared the UK metal heads were going to throw bottles and boo them off. "Rondo of Nightmare" with Mischiefs of the Metal Gods Intro - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QxYAcIyk2Co.html - This is a Su-Metal (lead singer) solo, but it really shows off the Kami Band and Su's voice. "KARATE" Live at Download UK 2016 - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qXF94RGYEmw.html - This is the song that really got me into the group. I had known about them for about a year but dismissed them as a gimmick, but when I heard this song I was a converted fan. The music video for this song is also really good.

As a 61 yr old heavy metal worshiper, I saw Baby Metal at Glastonbury last year and just loved them. You should check out 'The One' a great ballad with a really heavy ending..... sends shivers down my spine!

Enjoyed your reaction. As previously mentioned, BABYMETAL will celebrate it's 10th anniversary this fall. Since their inception, they've won over 35 International awards, have been on the covers of industry magazines (REVOLVER, METAL HAMMER, ROLLING STONE JAPAN, KERRANG), & have a passionate, dedicated, & engaged fanbase, a.k.a. "THE ONE". Their band, the KAMI BAND (KAMI means God, spirit, divine being) are some of the very best musicians in Japan & often dress in traditional Japanese burial robes & corpse paint/makeup. Unlike most K-Pop, J-pop Idol female groups, BABYMETAL uses no suggestive or sexual imagery, lyrics, or choreography in their music or performances. This is intentional. Their lyrics can be poppy, silly, & fun; however, most are positive, inspirational, & uplifting, & inspire hundreds of thousands of young fans. Also, their work ethic is beyond reproach. And NO ONE can control a crowd like these young ladies. Check out videos from Tokyo Dome in 2016, where they sold out back-to-back dates with 55,000 fans in attendance each night, or 2014 at Sonisphere in the UK, where they were virtually unknown & many attendees were skeptical or thought these barely teenage girls were just a gimmick, the end result was BABYMETAL turned a crowd of over 50,000 metalheads into fans with their performance, & sold more merchandise than any other act at that festival - not bad considering some of the other acts; METALLICA, IRON MAIDEN, SLAYER, ANTHRAX, etc. BABYMETAL is best experienced LIVE, moreover, it fits into their philosophy, as one band member explained during an interview (and I'm paraphrasing), BABYMETAL's CD's are considered business cards in the hope people would be enticed enough to come see their live shows. 🦊🤘

First reaction that I saw that really talks about how professional Su was getting that crowd back in the rhythm. It’s hugely important for the whole performance. Awesome!

At the end of the song Su is yelling (in English) "WE ARE!!" The crowd answers "BABYMETAL!!!" Su then yells "PUT YOUR KITSUNES UP!!!" Kitsune, meaning Fox, is the hand sign you see the girls make throughout the song which looks like a shadow puppet dog. When they yell we are Babymetal they're not just reminding you who they are. It refers to the fact that Babymetal performances really include the crowd as an integral part of the act. So everyone on stage and the crowd together are Babymetal.

I am 70 in the UK but have been a big babymetal fan for a few years, band name is babymetal , girls are around 17 and have been active since they were about 12.

BabyMetal is their band name. It's a play on Heavy Metal, which in Japanese is written and sounds very similar to BabyMetal. Their genre is Kawaii Metal ("cute" metal), which their manager essentially created. Finally, at the end of the song, they were chanting "We Are!...BabyMetal". They use it to close out all shows. The "See You" you heard at the end of this song was discontinued a couple years ago as the girls matured to women.

"I wasn't expecting that" is how most react to BabyMetal the first time.

Welcome to Babymetal. Great reaction. The members of Babymeyal love to get the audience to become part of the performance.

I'm a little late, but Welcome to Babymetal!!! All the veteran fans have already answered your questions so ill just say a couple things and leave you with a recommendation! As someone already mentioned, the hand sign they do is not the traditional "devil horns" of rock, but a variation where the pads of the middle & ring finger, and the thumb are pressed together and the pointer and pinkie remain extended. This makes the sing of the fox(kitsune) in Japanese culture shadow play. When the producer showed the girls the "horns", they mistook it. Since the Fox God is a big part of their lore they ran with it lol! You already have many suggestions, and any are good because all of Babymetal's songs are (at the very least) likable. I honestly don't have one I dislike. My current fav is Rondo of Nightmare with Mischiefs of God intro live at Budokan (venue) Black Night (concert title). Fan favs are Megitsune, Karate, Headbangerrr, and Ijime Dame Zettai (IDZ is an anti-bullying song that translates to Bullying, No, Absolutely, but the Band have called it No more Bullying Forever. ) A more recent fav is Papaya. Lastly, Babymetal are a live preformance act (they've called themselves so) and truly shine as such. However their MVs are definitely worth a watch since they are brilliantly done and give more insight into the songs. There are a few (especially the newer ones) that are just live footage over studio tracks, but the fan favs I mentioned above have awesome ones, and a couple newer ones are even more theatrical and beautiful! Kitsune up! \m/ (Edit: typo)

This was the 2nd time they played this song live, (first time was in London) and after this they never let the audience go off on their own again. Always sung along or had a guitar lead with the chant notes. Pretty sure the girls were 16 and 14 years old here.

If you want to check out more Babymetal. I highly recommend Rondo of Nightmare with mischiefs of gods intro.

Great reaction!!! Dragon force actually wrote the guitar parts. BabyMetal is completely different in every song they write.

10:10 I like it when people point this out. She has great command of the crowd. I saw one comment on a different reaction vid and on another reaction vid the reactors said the same thing, she has great command, especially for a 16 year old. I listened to the Spotify version all the time and kinda hated that she came in a little off from the crowd but when I watched reactions I realize that wasn't it. She was controlling the crowd to get back into rhythm. Not a lot of reactors pick up on that.

thanks for this reaction. definitely looking forward to your next reaction to this band. speaking of the drummer, that drummer didnt even break a sweat. he is a freakin machine.

The band's name is a combination of "baby" (ベビー, bebī) and "heavy metal" (ヘビーメタル, hebī metaru); Heavy metal: ヘビメタ (romaji transcription: hebimetaru) to Babymetal: ベビメタ (romaji transcription: bebimetaru). Yeah Japanese like puns. The band defines its style as a new genre called "kawaii metal" and clarifies that it is "a mix of J-pop idol and heavy metal". The band was formed in 2010, with the original lineup of Nakamoto Suzuka aka Su Metal (Vocal and Dance) (DOB Dec 20, 1997), Kikuchi Moa aka Moa Metal (Scream and Dance) (DOB July 4, 1999), and Mizuno Yui aka "Yui Metal" (Scream and Dance) (DOB Jun 20, 1999), with the concept of creating a fusion of heavy metal and Japanese idol genres. Originally a sub-unit of the Japanese idol group Sakura Gakuin which also was formed at the same year, Babymetal became an independent act in 2013. The band is produced by Kobayashi Key aka "Kobametal" from the Amuse talent agency. Original concept of the band was to introduced the new generation of audience to metal music especially females. On October 19, 2018, Babymetal announced that Yui Metal had decided to leave the band due to undisclosed poor health, following her absence from live performances since December 2017.

Sumetal is very respected in the metal community for hey solid vocals! The Kami Band is absolutely fantastic!

7 PIECE ACT 3 girls , 4 piece metal band

I love your heartful reaction of babymetal. We are babymetal.

welcome to the world of babymetal.

They had a #1 rock album on BILLBOARD last year. My favorite band by far. I saw them in Charlotte the year before last. They are mind-blowing. Kitsune dao!

Towards the end, the chant is "We are" ... "Babymetal". At the very end, it's "See" ... "See you". At one point, Su yells, "Sorta o motarasu" which translates to "bring them on". Basically a challenge to those who had been hating on them. Remember, they are pioneers in many aspects of both music and culture. I see this live show, where they were just 17y and 15y olds, btw, as their declaration of success in spite of any who didn't believe in them. It's their anthem of traveling along the "Road of Resistance".

Babymetal is pure genius.. Original, creative, world class musicians.. Best thing in music these days. And that performance is how you end a show.. They played to 50knin UK and closed a 20 stop US tour at the LA Forum in 2019. They are huge.. Sold out 50k Tokyo Dome two nights in a row and played completely different sets each night. They were on the Colbert Show and have llayed/toured with some of the biggest names in business including Lady Gaga and Metallica.. So much more i could tell you. You prob won't but if you dive deeper into BM you will be amazed. Every song is different and all so very good. I'm 55 and a diehard BM fan. Saw them live in Atlanta and it was the best night!

Although they are small, they dwarf almost any other performers. Top musicians and those three powerhouses...I'm LUCKY if i get only goosebumps. Su's voice and performance always gets me. The Metal Queen and her princesses are just out of this world.

At the end Su-metal is saying "we are" and Moa-metal, Yui-metal and the crowd are responding with "babymetal". Generally Moa and Yui's parts in the songs are for the crowd to join in with as well like a call and response.

I saw Babymetal in Salt Lake City 2019. They are great. No lip sync. It was a small venue but it was fun. They only had a few stops in US and I met people who travelled from a different state (like me) to see them.

I always tell Babymetal react channels that if the like this stuff they'll probably love "Band Maid." They are more of a classic rock band over an Idol group with session backing band. And they're all amazingly talented players. Their songs are catchy as hell too.

Great reaction and more BABYMETAL please 🤘🦊

I've seen a lot of people react to this one, but nobody else has called how clutch it was for a teenager to bring that big a crowd back in rhythm during the sing along section. That would stress me the hell out, but they handled it perfectly.

"I love chanting...need to rewind that" me: just wait..........Really enjoyed your reaction!

They know how to play and show. As you mentioned about the click every moves here seems to be planned even when to start waving the flags in chanting. Amazing live they do.

I always find it quite amusing that some reviewers say 'Oh, I can't understand them, it's not my language'.. yet when they DO sing in English, the person reacting either chose that moment to stop the video, or else they talk through it and miss it anyway.. or else they don't seem to recognise when it is English.. :)

You are the first reviewer who has pointed out her putting the crowd back into proper time! That's a heck of an insight!

A great example of the bands skills is the Rondo of Nightmare with Mischeif of the Gods intro video.

Can you imagine that the song is the last song of this concert with 90 minutes of intense dance！

Great reaction! The Babymetal army (known as The One) have already given a lot of details in the comments, so all I'll say is that I'm looking forward to your next BM reaction. Really enjoyed this one.

Answering some of the burning questions: The Live Kami Band this night were Drummer: Hideki Aoyama Bassist: B•O•H (6 string bass) Guitars: Takayoshi Ohmura on the pink glittery guitar, and Leda Cygnus on the black curly guitar. (7 strings each) They are some of the best session musicians in Japan. There are other session musicians that rotate in if someone can't make a show. As of 2019, there are 2 different Kami Bands, an East (in white robes)- for the Japan shows, and a West (in black robes) - for the US/UK shows. Guitar parts written by: Dragon Force (Sam Totman & Herman Li who also played on the album track) 07:51 "Nothing repeats either." As we head into 4 minutes of WOAH-OH-AH-OHs... hee hee hee hee 08:14 "These girls know my weakness." Just you wait... heh heh heh... 09:36 BANG! Ages (in JAN 2015): Su-metal - 17, Yuimetal & Moametal - 15 They have been at this for 10 years come October. At the end, they're yelling, "WE ARE ... BABYMETAL!" There you are. Hope that helped. Nice job; nicely done. Now... You are standing at the edge of The Fox Hole. Dare you take that next step? If you do, I recommend "Ijime, Dame, Zettai" (2014) at Sonisphere. [ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ro-_cbfdrYE.html ]

you are now entering The BABYMETAL Universe , they have 40+ songs and none of that sound the same so enjoy your journey with Babymetal.

well. . . this is a masterclass in all aspects of performing live. . intrsumentals, vocals, choreo and dance,stage presence and crowd participation. . perfection at every level. . and on top of it all su-metal the lead was 16 and the other 2 moa metal and yui metal were 14 i believe. . they've essentially been singing and performing all their lives

This concept only works if all involved in the production are top notch, which they clearly are. Such impressive original performances from Babymetal.

"Babymetal, is that their name? Or their genre?" Yes

If this doesn't make you want to become a drummer I don't know what will

i think u will like Rondo Of Nightmare

Babymetal are the three girls, with a band they call the Kami Band for support. tzhe musicians are all guys. Su, the lead singer, was 17 here. Yui and Moa were 15. This was shot in 2015, and the group formed in 2010. Koba, the producer, built the group around Su's talents. This song was at the end of a concert, 90+ minutes into the show. And they go 100% for the whole show, how they do it I don't know, and how Su maintains breath I don't know. They have headlined sold-out shows at the LA Forum and Wembley Arena, they are a worldwide heavy hitter in the metal community right now. Not a local Japanese act anymore. You should see them when they come around again, they are an amazing and unique show. The catwalk and stage in the middle of the crowd is a hanamichi. It comes from Kabuki Theater.

Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!

Listened to your latest song. Congratulations! You have a great voice.

At the end they are saying "We are" and the audience responds "Babymetal!". It's necessary to note this is not an self indulgent advertisement. The purpose of this chant is to identify that the audience is part of Babymetal. It's not a royal "We", it's an enclusive "We", to let the audience know they are appreciated and without them, there is no "We", as in no Babymetal. They finish almost every show with this. This video was recorded in 2015 so Su (lead singer) would have been 18, Yui and Moa (girls on the side) would have been 16. Their most recent songs/videos, from an album released in 2019, would be Pa Pa Ya!! (Party song sure to drive the audience crazy), Elevator Girl (announcement they are adults), or Shanti Shanti Shanti (really unusual genre mash with near eastern traditional influences that would make George Harrison smile). Knowing your background and your appreciation for audience participation, you would likely also enoy "The One", which is a song dedicated to their fans (they are called "The One") and "No Rain No Rainbow", a ballad. I would recommend the Legend S version of No Rain No Rainbow, recorded at Su's 20th birthday concert.

Wait, you're OHRION and Wyatt's friend right? I think I've seen videos with you. Screw it, I'll sub to you too. The thing about Babymetal is that you can never go wrong in terms of numbers when reacting to them. We're a very dedicated fanbase, and their live videos are generally better than studio anyway so win-win! About the song, it has a Dragonforce feel cause Sam Totman and Herman Li co-wrote and played the riffs in the studio version. With Babymetal, I feel like the vocals become another instrument if you don't understand it. You don't feel the language barrier once you get into their music. The girls are Suzuka (17 here, 22 now), Yui and Moa (15 here, 21 now). I'm sure some other amazing fans will fill you in more on the band. I really hope you check out more Babymetal cause they're, to me, one of the best bands around. I'm more into core, kinda like Ryan and Wyatt, so that's saying something. They've also won awards for best live act and their latest album hit #1 on the Billboard Rock charts in the US, so that could be another incentive. Their 10 year anniversary is this year btw, so they've been around a while. At the end they said, "We are...Babymetal!" a few times then, "Put your kitsune (fox sign) up!". My recommendation is gonna be the official video for 'Megitsune'. It's very different from this song, which is the case for almost all their songs anyway. Really enjoyed that reaction, and hope you have a great day!

The lead singer Su-Metal is 22 turns 23 in December The two side dancers Yui and Moa just turned 21 (Yui however is no longer with the band) In this video I believe they are 17 an 15

welcome to the world of BABYMETAL, where you will find many genres except country, but country metal is probably an idea they have thought about, we will see in the future. If you don't mind, more BABYMETAL please

Great reaction and excellent comments ! Thank you and love Babymetal!

...and, Babymetal has a cameo in CMFT Must Be Stopped as well...so does Ryo-kun from Maximum the Hormone.

More BABYMETAL!!

I got to your channel by mistake really and I really liked the way you conducted this reaction. extremely respectful towards the band and the fans of band.. always seeing from the professional side which you understand a lot.. nice... I'm gonna check your music videos now. the little I saw in the intro seems really good. good job mate

great reaction, and i couldnt agree more with having the crowd chanting as your weakness, i love when that happens so damn much.. regardless of genre, soo so amazing. Would LOVE to see more babymetal reactions!

What they say at the end is "We(the 3 girls) are BabyMetal, we(the girls and the bandmates) are BabyMetal, we( the whole of the band and the audience) are BabyMetal, WE(what is in these parenthesis I counted AND The Kitsune, their Fox.spirit "god"- which they reference in the hand gesture of the fox face and ears) ARE BABYMETAL! " and I think what is in the two closing lines is roughly "We are now and FOREVER ,AMEN!"(pyros).

Thanks for the great reaction! ROR was the first Babymetal song for me, too. It’s so amazing. Three little girls bring out their flags to lay claim to the stage, then Su-Metal proceeds to recruit the entire audience into her army. Wow! That was enough for me. But I have one little question. How the heck does Su-Metal do those energetic dances, then immediately belt out those amazing songs?

I just recently came across Babymetal and I can't stop listening to them

Genuine reaction. thank you. looking up your music now, because I also like country.

“What are they saying there” Is what you asked at the song when Su was saying the same thing over again and the answer to that was she was saying “we are” and the back up girls would say “Babymetal”

Babymetal is my favorit grupo! And Road of Resistance is one of my favorit songs. In this concert my favorit part is when thay song 'Papaya' The stage, the light, the solos!! ooooh is awsome

Many thanks for your reaction from Japan 有難う💛。 Every information you need has already been told below by a number of great fans from numerous countries. Nothing to be added from me. I just want to say that crowd involvement you saw in this video occurs not only in Japan but in every place they go on this planet. For example, in October 2019 in the USA, there was similarly big crowd involvement at the Forum, LA. And if you go to see their show and want to enjoy fully there, you need big cardio and lung capacity to keep you moving and shouting. Nevertheless you will find the three girls on stage have much bigger capacity than yours.

Your country band has a lot of Big and Rich influence in it. U rock !

10:08 I only discovered this band literally this week, and I have seen this video like 10 times already. And each time I wondered why she started to sing again at a different place as the crowd. Lol, I never even knew that, yes of course, the whole thing is on a timer and she needs to keep on track. Thanks for pointing that out.

“Nothing repeats” he says right as they enter the long repeating section of the song🤣🤣🤣

Haven't heard of you before, but your country is legit. Excited to look more into your stuff. Thanks for this react.

Herman Li of DragonForce was one of the composers of this song, so you nailed it.

Nice react. You’re so lucky to be encountering BABYMETAL for the first time. I’ve seen them live seven times and been in the crowd for this song each time. They close with this song. The reason this song sounds a lot like Dragonforce is that some of the Dragonforce members had a hand in helping writing this song. But yes, goosebumps every time they get the crowd working. Most of their songs have an element of crowd interaction built in. There are bits where the crowd shouts along, or has a special dance move to join in with, or even just fly towels around our heads.

Damn, I'd never considered the reason she did that during the chanting is to get the crowd back in time. That's brilliant. I know some singers will jokingly poke fun of the crowd to get them to stop, but the way she did it is pretty classy when you point it out.

Rondo of Nightmare (with Mischiefs of God intro) / Ataktsuki (live) / Headbanger (live)

Yes must female singer's are in the metal scene all around the world 🌎 now from Japan 🇯🇵 Korea 🇰🇷 and Hong Kong 🇭🇰 this band will blow you away these young girls have the strength 💪 and energy to lit up a audience so fast and the crowd goes wild for there music 🎶 singing baby metal rocks

love your technical approach on this reaction! thanx didnt know the fact that she had to get back on the ritme cos of the tickrate in the ears! learning everyday thnx!

One thing you picked out well is that Babymetal is really more of a production than a band in the traditional sense. Some people mistake that as a bad thing, like it makes them less genuine... but its actually their biggest strength. Its what allows them to put in a show and make music in such an impressive manner that could never happen in any other way. The girls where barely out of middle school when this was filmed but all three had been performing as singers, dancers, models, and actresses in some form since they were like 6-8. So they already had years of legit professional experience by this stage. Plus, their producer went out and hired a bunch of the most talented and respected band members in the entire Japanese metal scene aa basically hired guns to be able to come in and instantly perform at an elite level without any risk or need to train them up. They are essentially a super group with the financial backing of a big label. A lot of westerners turn their nose up to that idea... but the results speak for themselves.

Ah the babymetal rabbit hole. This hole will branch out to multiple bands. BandMaid, Lovebites, Maximum the HORMONE, Unlucky Morpheus, WagakkiBand, and Doll$Boxx just to name a few. They’re all amazing bands

“I love crowds chanting” Me: give it a sec…

My favorite thing on RU-vid is watching people react to BABYMETAL for the first time. I get tears in my eyes every time.

goodVideo,good reaction. I love it. Please more and more reaction of babymetal,I hope.

"I really don't know what I'm getting into here." My favorite words to hear before a reaction to Babymetal.

I saw BabyMetal in concert in NYC last September. Seeing them perform this song in person was just amazing.

They were high school girls when this was recorded

Main Singer Su-Metal was born in 1997 Moa-Metal and Yui-metal were born in 1999 they started playing in 2012. yes the song was co-wrote with DragonForce.. each of there songs is a different metal combo.. the concert was a 2015 so Su-metal "Suzuka Nakamoto" was 17 in that show .. if you want to see more of the band i would recommend "rondo of nightmare with mischiefs of gods intro" make sure it has mischiefs of nightmare intro.. that is the "Kami" band solo's the Kami band is all male since you asked about the drummer

Its amusing to see reactors, caught up in all the visuals of the performance, not notice all the parts that are actually in English.

Aoyama Hideki the drummer makes it look effortless when he plays!

Something that people may not know is that idols, what these girl are, train for a long time, long gruelling hours and from such a young age. Some idols start training by 5 but most start at the age of 14. These girls started much younger however.

babymetal was formed 2010. the girls were there 10-12 years old. That concert was 5 years later so they were 15-17.

That was a genuinely interesting and informative reaction. Thanks! I do hope you'll do more Babymetal reactions, because you really haven't even got to the tip of the farest edge of the most distant iceberg yet.

You're in for a helluva ride if you keep watching them, especially live.
