Thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。The flying drones with cameras that enabled the beautiful aerial cinematograph were manipulated by experts including Ms. Shiraishi. She is a member of team Japan for World Drone Racing Championship. I witnessed this very performance at the venue where and when Momoko was inducted into BABYMETAL officially. I sang the ♪ oh oh ohoo ♪ part with Momometal, who wore a headset mic for the first time like Moa has done since BM's inception. I did it with my loudest voice in the show. What a bliss! Western (American) Kami Band played in the girls' back like they did in BM's North American tour with DETHKLOK and EU/UK tour last year. Japanese fans always appreciate the devoted support like knights by Chris, CJ, Anthony and Clint (Ryan replaced in USA). They are really unsung heroes.
Good reaction. This is an uplifting song taking us from possibly the darkest place where all colour is gone (the reference to Ragnarok was intentional), but reassuring us that "no matter how long the night, the morning will arrive" and finally illuminating the world in rainbow colours.🌈🦊 Definitely a very special song for every audience they played to last year and Su has all of them help her to "light up this dark, dark world".
I'm REALLY glad you found the version with the lead-in, it's so much more impactful. Nice spotting of the clock - most miss it (it is significant I think). Great reaction to a wonderful performance (well all 3 versions are great)
Heart warming moment ❤ The lyric video of this song explains a lot by the visual images shown in it . This moment and like a lot other BabyMetal moments just make you feel positive and happy . How could anyone not feel happy when they smile 😁 ❤❤❤🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
Welcome back to the Foxhole 🤘🦊🤘 As you observed, Babymetal is for everyone (as in all age groups) and their shows are family friendly. Their costumes have always been age appropriate and conservative. Their choreography is designed to interprate the lyrics and is never raunchy or sexualized and even the decibels are moderate enough that earplugs are optional for most people. Kitsune Da O! 🤘🦊🤘
I think SU-METAL is using English to thank the foreign audiences who come all the way across the ocean. They perform in many different countries, and she speaks to her audiences in the language of each country.
Su-metal speaking to the audience in English is a bit unusual for a Japanese artist. Moametal speaks to the audience in Japanese in Japan, and English internationally. I don't think I've ever heard Momoko address the audience. Anyway, I think Su-metal realizes she is playing on a world stage. Their audience is international; every show you go to has a large contingent of visitors. Even here in the states, every show I've been to has been well represented by different countries. They pay attention to so many details. And work so hard it looks effortless.
Did you record this before reading comments on the other songs? It has been mentioned a zillion times that they are Japanese and this concert is in Japan. But people come from all over the world to see a Babymetal concert in Japan so they do mix in English. She spoke in Japanese in other parts of the concert and the first line in the interaction in this song is in Japanese.
