Momoko has been a favorite of mine since her Sakura Gakuin days. She was the only SG member to create a choreographed routine for the group under her Super Dance Unit - SSD. IMO, she was robbed of screen time during the Girls Planet 999 competition. This more than makes up for that. : ) I'm both happy for her, and strangely proud.
You may know what happened to the winners of GP999? I wish them success but I wonder if any of those winners would want to swap winning to be in Babymetal? The fraction of hope of Yui returning has gone. I do wonder why she has disappeared,? Her statement said she wanted to continue as Yui Munzo? Oh well the fox God certainly does not know! Glad one of your favourites has the third spot, she certainly deserves it.
@@Glynthepin I stopped following GP999 after Momoko left. She was the only reason I was following cause I wanted to vote for her. As for Yui, she has always been very shy, maybe the fanfare was too much for her and she just wants to live a normal life from then on. But we will still welcome her warmly and forever fondly if and when she does emerge. Not that she's not already well thought of even with her absence. She will always be a super lady in the Fukei's eyes.
@@Codametal Not comparing but similar to Su sister. The public figure aspect does not work out to be to everyones desire and of course the pressures must be intense. Thank you for your reply.
Momoko earned it and deserves to be called Momometal. She deserves that mic. New album. New outlook musically, professionally by lead performer. I hope we get future BabyMetal M&M (Moametal & Momometal) songs.
Momo is the perfect choice. She’ll fit right in with the other two goofballs. In fact having seen pix and clips she’s right in her element. BABYMETAL are back and looks like it’ll be even more fun than ever.
Just got back from the show. I have NEVER seen Su smile as much as she did at this show. It was like she was reenergized. It's going to be a great year.
That one concert, I forgot which one, but they were performing Road of Resistance with momoko as a filler and the way she performed and was emotional throughout the whole performance made me say “HER! SHE’S THE ONE!”
@@johnschultz7765 YES! That was it! I remember telling myself “I wouldn’t be mad, actually I would be thrilled if she became a permanent member” and now we’re here ☺️ May the Fox God guide all things in the future
Hello ,Callie San. I went to "Clear Night". Right next to MOMO-METAL, 4th floor seats. We screamed and cried together during BABYMETAL DETH's "MOMO-METAL DETH". Congratulations MOMO-METAL. We will also support the new BABYMETAL! * I am using google translation.
Thinking of Momoko its been longer than we think since she joined BM as one of the Avengers. Congrats to "Momometal" who supported so long with no official name annouced.
I literally cried when I heard the news! She definitely earned her place with the band! I can’t wait to see Moametal and Momometal perform Black BM songs! Let’s go!!!
Correct person for the 3rd spot. Momoko fits in so well with Su and Moa, and the courography between Moa and Momoko reminds me of how Moa and Yui were dancing together. I more or less expecting this and came as no surprise to me . Think i got a big hint as Momokos look changed in Light and Darkness mv (hair and make up different) getting her ready for her well-earned place alongside Su and Moa . Counting the days down to the London show . It has been a long time since Apollo show Good to see you back reacting to BabyMetal 😁🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼♥️
Great to see you again, Callie. I admit I couldn't believe it at first. I mean, I knew they were going to announce something big and I was 99,99 sure it was Momoko being promoted to an official member position but I expected Koba teasing us today to make the proper announcement tomorrow. But it wasn't that way and I had to triple check it before going nuts on that sm I apparently can't mention here (I wasn't listening to the stream because I don't want spoilers on the live versions of the new songs) 😁 Congrats to Momoko, now MOMOMETAL, she totally deserve it. And I can't wait to see them live... I have to wait a month since I'm going to Berlin (I have to travel anyway so, I decided to go to Germany and spend a few days there). Until next time! 🤘🦊
Thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 As an eyewitness at the venue : Even before the announcement of Momometal, I was convinced that Momoko would be the 3rd, because : (1) She was captured by cameras and displayed on the huge backdrop screen as much as Moa during the show. (2) In the Shin-BMD, she was crucified on the transparent cross equally as Su / Moa. (As you know, BMD is a song to introduce the members. Shin-BMD was played 4 times in Budokan as well, but the girls' faces were covered with veils in foggy situation that time.)
Wow, that's nice! Wish I had seen the show... But I think it will be hard for Babymetal to come to South America anytime soon =/ As a Japanese, do you have any local news on Yui-chan? We here on the West have almost none! Nothing on her health, or on her plans for the future. I'm guessing that it may be something related to her contract with Amuse, that don't let her appear anywhere, nor be interviewed. Also, it may be the contract's fault for them to have taken so long to add a new member. Thanks in advance, Flugelhorn-san! 🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻
Love that Momoko is the new member. To me, she felt like the most obvious choice if they were going to add someone to the group. After my surprise at the Momometal announcement had died down, my first thought was "I wonder what Callie's reaction will be?". Glad to see you back.
OMG, I am SOOOOO happy to see you at this historical moment! The Momometal announcement is bitter sweet. Now we know for a fact that Yui is never coming back (sadness beyond sadness). But Momoko finally becoming an official member (super happiness). I can cry at the same time for sadness and happiness. A 2 in 1. Absolutely loved the reveal.
Can't believe Feb 2020 was the last time we saw them! Really glad I went to the UK and met so many people. Even I have to admit the past years wasn't all that exciting and people have moved on, hopefully we get to see them at their peak again. They've become a very very different band now!
Happy to see you back here Callie ❤ And congratulations to Momometal, she totally deserved it🎉❤🎉❤ I know she was gonna got it, everything was leading to it, Pia MM, her birth place, and even a little bit the date That was such an awesome show
First of all long time no see Callie how's life been treating ya and second Congratulations Momoko or should I say MOMO-METAL on becoming the 3rd new member do us proud and with this Yui can finally be put to rest I will always cherish the times when she was with them but it is time to move on and I hope the ENTIRE BABYMETAL community feels the same 🤘🦊🤘
Holly Sh*t !!! Momometal announced as third member AND Callie posting a new video??? The Fox God has blessed us with TWO miracles in the same day!!! 🤘🦊🤘
This is long overdue, Momoko has performed her apprenticeship brilliantly. We might get longer performances if they do some songs for moa/momoko ala Black BabyMetal. Happy times either way.
Great to see you back Callie. Can’t wait for the London show, it’s going to be even more special with Momo as an official member. And yes, Metalizm is the best song from the new album 🤘🏻🔥
I’ve been waiting for your reaction! This is what I felt as well. I’m truly happy for her and it’s well deserved! I can’t wait for them to tour in the US. I’m for sures seeing them at aftershock
Nice reaction. Sometime ago I found Babymetal online purely by accident. I was looking for something else completely unrelated. And was shortly hooked. Wanted to know what the lyrics were was part of the hook. It just got me looking more into them. And then I came across your youtube videos. And you helped me get even more hooked. Your excitement for them did that. I'm glad to see you post about them again after all this time. I started pulling for Momoko to be officially in Babymetal before the other avengers left. Something about her just stood out to me. I think it was how happy she was to be there. And then when she no longer was breathing hard after the songs ended. I knew she needed to be part of this. It saddened me when she tried out for a kpop group. I know Babymetal was "sealed" at the time. And a gal has to work. But I was hoping they would have asked her to be in Babymetal then so they could have her as part of the new album. Now I'm full of joy that she became the new member as she should have been some time ago. I'm still hoping to see some of your reactions to their new songs. Plus, since they announced there will be a new member, I kept listening to the new tracks listening for a new voice. Now I'm a feeling like Babymetal might pull another surprise by releasing a new album in back-to-back years. Unprecedented for Babymetal. Momoko is officially a member she needs to be officially on an album. It would be cool if she has a mic for their next show. This will change everything. The live show Blue ray will be her first recording with them. Does that make history. New member of a band. Very first recording with the new band is at a live show and not on the album they are touring for. Another case of how Babymetal just does things differently. I look forward to you posting about Babymetal again and Maybe appearing in another video by them. 🦊🦊🦊
You have very genuine love for the band and it's so inspiring. 🤘🦊🔥 I'm happy for them, Momoko deserve it and now BABYMETAL can continue without any hesitation 🙂
GOOOOOOOOOOOOSH！！！！ CALLIE HAS COME BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE MOST FAMOUS BABYMETAL FAN IN THE WORLD HAS RETURNED!!!!!!!!! YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ICANT BELIEVE!!!!!! THATA WHAT I REALLY WANTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for this video, for me it felt like: finally. I do think the music suffered in a different way, having less voices meant certain songs felt like something was missing, well literally something was missing. A second voice singing with Moametal at the same time in Karate for example. Did you know the show from today and the shows from Jan, means they've performed all songs already ? I think they might have been general rehearsals and tomorrow they might perform all of them, because it's a concept album, they should be able to use them all and make it one lore story. Anyway, I'm looking forward to hearing Momometal sing along with Moametal and Su-metal tomorrow (or whenever I can hear it - proper). Yes, they were strange times, I've recently seen my first show again since Babymetal just before covid. I went to see Bloodywood and they were great, good live sound and energy too.
I am very happy that you are back! Seeing you being featured on Japanese TV and knowing the passion of their overseas fans is one of the reasons why I became mate. Yesterday's performance was very cool and nervous, but at the end I felt very happy😊 From Japan ありがとう!
I am happy that Momoko Okazaki is the newest member, out of The Avengers, she was seen the most. And she seems to be a good fit for the band, and she is a delight to see. Momometal is here, and I believe and know she will do very well.🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊
Awesome a new member to the very grand dominated force of spectacular perfectly performance skills of abilities! From the talented young skillful ladies of babymetal!🔥👏
Welcome back to RU-vid. I am going to the Leeds concert, though my guess is that you will go to more than one. I am already arguing with people that they will drag Joakim on stage for Oh! MAGINAI - he will be there in the arenas. I am of course pleased for Momo Metal, anything else would have been grossly unfair
Knowing how happy Sabaton are to support Babymetal, I don't think much dragging will be needed. Roll on Glasgow for me, my first time seeing them. Wasn't too bothered to go see Sabaton until I saw Babymetal on the poster. Then it became a "Take my money!" moment.
Awww Callie this video put such a big smile on my face!! So glad you’re back on RU-vid😊 Pls pls do a budokan unboxing at some point, I believe you’ve had the restraint to keep it that long omg. Can’t wait to see ya🥹🥹
This group has got me addicted since I downloaded tiktok on my phone on the Jan 3rd and saw a random clip Babymetal's "Catch me if you can" from the Red Sun Festival 2016. We all love Yui but momoko NOW momo-metal has been brilliant in their live shows . Hope to see/read/listen to her interviews and her english is very good somesay even better then su's
Actually this isn't all that unexpected here!! What gave it away for me was Yokohama performance. This is Momoko home town & considering how their last January performances ended with 3 coffins on stage. It was probably a given that Babymetal would be a trio again. Now, some hoping for a Yui return might be shocked & disappointed. However, given that 5 years has passed since her departure. There was little chance of her returning. In all Momoko earned her place here and am happy it's finally official. It will be interesting how they work that into their lore now given how important that has been to their overall presentation. Album itself is brilliant & much better then anticipated. It will be awesome to see how this plays out on on tour!! 🤘🦊💕
Welcome back, exciting times for BM and I shall be seeing them, Sabaton and Lordi soon in Glasgow !!!! and currently listening to the Other One. Hoping it is as good as Wembley or Utrecht.
I knew that a third member was coming, and it's a good thing. Now Babymetal has returned, and it's good to see you back Callie, I hope everything is going well for you!!! Love from Alabama.
Quick Repo Day 2 (April 2) Today's highlight : "Iine" , old BMD incl. " Momometal death" shout • Momoko with mic & twin pigtails • New colorful outfit ( only Metal Kingdom in black outfit) * West Kamis [14songs with 6 new] * Kingdom, RoR, Iine, Papaya, Mirror, Light & Darkness * Karate with clone BM ( 6 girls) * Monochrome, Metalizm, Distortion, Divine Attack, The One (Japanese), old BMD, IDZ World tour announced. I enjoyed from bottom my heart after Momometal confirmed yesterday
I am so happy. She was always my favorite of the Avengers.(I never really liked the name Avengers...so MCU derivative) I have been screaming for 3 years now "Give Momoko Twin tails,a mic and a glove on her right hand and lets get on with loving her" They have finally pulled the trigger on what we have always known was basically inevitable. I really hope they allow her to fully participate in all legacy songs. Black BABYMETAL especially and BMD etc. I am hoping for her to get matching twin tails like Moa... it's such a cute look and they are a BABYMETAL tradition and necessary for songs like Headbangerrr! Welcome Momo... we are ready to love you!
I'm so happy, it didn't feel real for a bit. I'm glad someone else feels as effected as I did. I found out through a post on Reddit and it was like "huh?" Then I got super nostalgic, happy and sad and confused then back to happy.
An unopened box? For shame Callie 😄But I have to agree, I also bought that concert set, maybe a little regret there with the price tag, but their hiatus did save me quite a bit too. Did you order the new "Returns" blue Ray? I don''t regret that order, but with their significance now if these last 2 shows are put on blu ray I'm ordering those as well with
The new member was already announced from the beginning. Momoko's face appeared in an advertisement. I still had (and have) hopes that Yui will one day come back. After Babymetal stopped being a trio, it lost its appeal. Mikio's passing was also very difficult. The Japanese Kamiband was replaced by excellent musicians, but without identity. The hiatus was long. The children are now adults. The songs have become more serious. I felt like a father watching his children leave and the house become empty and sad. I hope that Babymetal returns renewed. It's certainly a great joy to see CallieMetal back!
Hi, they also changed the logo, no more MOA's hearts💕, no more YUI's skull💀, and different SU's wings🪽🪽. It's a new era, not really a new beginning, but this way, they sealed and crystallised the 🍅YUI's era. It's not gone, it's still with us, but it's time to move on, "shinjita kono michi wo aruko-o". BTW, really glad to see you back! 🤘🦊⚡️
welcome back. Me and my daughter are super excited about the news as well. a little upset they got rid of yui's skull in the logo but i guess you gotta move on.
Well, that just puts the final nail in Yui's return coffin... Pun very much intended. As much as we'd all love to see her return, it's been a while now, and it's time we move on. Maybe they had some contractual issues, that wouldn't allow a new member to be added, and that also prohibited Yui from having any kind of appearance. We'll always love our Tomato Princess, our Angel of Dance, but for now, I only wish her the best in both personal and professional lives. As for Momo-chan, it would've been a waste not to "promote" her to member. Unfair, even. I personally was rooting for Riho, especially due to her history with Su, but Momoko? She more than deserved it. Maybe we might even get some new Black Babymetal songs, now that Momometal is here! All in all, BABYMETAL is back. As a trio. This is the way. 🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻
Thank you for sharing your reaction and emotions Callie. I had become used to a guest third member and it was a great way to respect Yui. I do hope Momoko will be given a microphone, why wouldn't she and Black BabyMetal can continue with new and old material. I also wondered why you had not posted any merch' or opening videos for a while, so you have answered that question in this video. Great to see you have not lost any of your enthusiasm for BabyMetal. Look forward to viewing future uploads from your channel Callie XX
Good to see you here. I was thinking that Momo would get it. Even though Yui is still on the Amuse site and she hasn't started her solo career I wonder if she left entertainment.
