REACTION | BABYMETAL "KARATE" (LIVE AT BUDOKAN 2021) 

I don’t care who you are, having a stadium full of fans singing your song has got to be such an surreal moment!

I'm kinda waiting for someone one to say "FLAWLESS VICTORY!!"🤪

Su-metal has a remarkable gift for communication emotions across the language barrier. You don't need to know what the words mean to understand what she is expressing.

Im a 45 year old man and their music brings me tears of joy very frequently

warning: if you enter the world of babymetal you will never leave ... you fall in love instantly..thank you

And this was with strict Covid restrictions, imagine the crowd on a normal situation:)

Here’s hoping it isn’t blocked like before

日本のアイドルは、売れてない時からファンが育てる文化です。ライブのとき独特な盛り上げ方はファンが作り上げたものです。だから、アイドルによって違うライブの楽しみ方も踊りも盛り上げ方も違う楽しみが世界に伝わるのは、楽しい事です。

Every single metal band wishes they had written that riff.

It's a very good reaction video. I was impressed. Thank you very much.🤘

Being able to see Babymetal open for Korn back in 2018 was such a sick experience

Why babymetal makes me cry everytime? Oh, thanks, I'm not alone)

”ベビーメタル”「空手」のリアクション、どうもありがとうございます。

Fan participation is one of the key that sets Babymetal apart from other bands/groups. Their songs pretty much have parts written in it, where the fans can join in. Well, you've seen how a Japanese crowd reacts to Babymetal... You should checkout how a much younger Su has a western crowd completely under her control by watching Karate performed in Download 2016.... Performed in the rain, the crowd totally in to it..... If you're looking for tear jerkers, Akatsuki Unfinished or No Rain No Rainbow from Legends S XX are what you're looking for. The emotion, and performance in those two songs is second to none. Lots of singers has power and range (see Floor or Tarja), but Su is a master at putting emotions into her performances. I remember you loved watching Babymetal Death, you should checkout In The Name Of from the Legend S XX. 🤘🦊🤘

Your emotional reaction is VERY typical of people who have reacted to baby Metal videos. I've seen grown men in many videos with tears in their eyes. They just create very emotional music that somehow connects with almost everyone. Baby Metal is awesome.

Never give up. Great reaction!!! The BABYMETAL fans are simply the best!!!!!!

Yeah, I live for those very, very few groups that inspire true LOVE with their audiences. Babymetal and Nightwish are two bands that for me transcend a group that merely produces a bunch of great songs, but instead create a space for people to have a musical home that they can always go to. Home is where the heart is.

Really late to the party, but I really loved this. Seeing someone else react the same way was just awesome!

I saw the video. One of the best reactions. If it gets blocked, sorry. Hope you do more BM reactions

Great & thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 Especially I appreciate beautiful tears in your eyes. Likewise I watched their shows with tears at the venue last year. BABYMETAL held 10 concerts here in Tokyo including the period of the states of emergency caused by COVID. Even many of their fans criticized the producer for taking such risks to hold the big events then. The Team BABYMETAL, however, challenged the situation and took strict and perfect countermeasures against the infection. The audience, of course, cooperated with them and abided by a number of restrictions and accepted inconveniences to protect the event and make their shows ultimately successful. That is our pride as BM fans.

すばらしいリアクションをありがとうございます。

Great reaction!!!!😭😭😭 They always give me goosebumps. The One and Only BABYMETAL! 🔥🔥🔥

Funny thing, i discovered them through a cover of Chocolate by Post modern jukebox 🤣🤣🤣

Can someone take me to see them live please 😂 the energy and performance is incredible

Yes! We want to interact with our queen and princess when we go to the BabyMetal concert. BabyMetal live atmosphere is always ten times better.

Loved your emotional response. Me too, so often. You MUST try Road of Resistance, Live in Japan if you haven’t already done so. Amazing crowd participation and control.

I remember the first video you did of Babymetal was babymetal death legend 1997

The girls can bring out emotions in anyone. Their crowd control and interaction is truly amazing. You can feel the positive energy that fills the area they perform in even from behind a computer. I have to warn you..... BABYMETAL will make you cry again if you enjoy their crowd participation. 🤘🦊🤘

excellent content Deadgrl Superstar, BABYMETAL have several songs that cause tears in different people for varied reasons. the last word that Su sings is "Hashire" which means "run" and it gives me chills every time I hear it.

Great reaction, having seen Babymetal 3 times they ALWAYS but max effort into their performances.

Wohoo, babymetal! :D

Babymetal make everyone cry. Sumetals voice is so powerful and drag the crowd into the shows. Pure magic. Great reaction. 🦊🦊💥🦊🦊

Nice reaction. Don't feel bad or discouraged by a block by youtube or anyone else. Think of it as a badge of honor. Someone is paying attention. Even if it's too much attention. You did a great job. The song has a powerful message that Babymetal delivers like the masters they are. Moa's Karate part to start is great fun. But when Su comes in it gives me chills. Confident and focused and determined. They had to be. In their early days metal gatekeepers tried hard to keep them out. Babymetal found a road of resistance. AC/DC took the highway to hell. Metallica road in like the four horsemen. And Babymetal created a foxhole with a whole metal galaxy in it. Enjoy your journey through the Babymetal galaxy of music down in a foxhole.

Baby metal makes me sobb too omg

They deserve more female fans, because Babymetal are titans for starting as just teenagers, having the bravery to do their own thing, and succeeding in claiming their space in Metal

There are lots of great Budokan ‘21 compilations that are RU-vid friendly. Normally compilations aren’t ideal. But the editors have made a real effort to ensure a good presentation. Highly recommend checking out performances like BxMxC, Distortion, Starlight, Shine, Brand New Day, From Dusk Till Dawn. They all show a different musical side to BABYMETAL and have amazing visuals.

Loved your genuine reaction. The girls' stage presence and crowd control is truly legendary. And it's not jus a 'Japan crowd' thing either. They show the same level of showmanship in the UK and US. Honestly some of the best performance I've ever seen. And yeah, they hit me in the feels too...

BabyMetal is the revolution 🤘

Karate is all about fighting against foes both external and internal and the power of friendship to bring you through troubles. It's a great example of how BM can emotionally modulate a performance. They start out heavy and by the end it's more intimate and quiet drawing you in before slamming back into some metal riffs and soaring Su singing and a final quiet conclusion. This is a 2021 Budokan performance and so is missing Yui and I think with her the song is even more emotional, so you might want to check out the official video or the Download 2016 performance which has Yui and masses of crown participation.

Fantastic reaction. BABYMETAL have an effect on an audience that I’ve never experienced with any other band. Their energy, enthusiasm and positive joyfulness permeates the audience in waves . These young women are truly loved by their fans. It’s not difficult to see(or hear) why. They are extraordinary.

C'est exactement ça ! Best REACTION !

Blessed that I got a chance to see them open for Korn a few years ago. Still one of the best shows I’ve been to.

Great reaction, thanks and welcome (back) to BABYMETAL! They define their studio albums like "business cards" and that means that their live performances are their core business. And crowds like them for a good reason :) There is a quote from SU-METAL that says "Don't think, feel". I'm so glad you enjoyed this one and felt it

crowd interactions with babymetalare something else . for road to resistance they cutoff all music so the crowd can sing, and its magical

Man, i wish to see them live one day. The crowd is just awesome!

I didn't expect to see an emotional reaction when I clicked this video but I guess their crowd interaction made it's way into your heart. Babymetal crowds (especially their Japanese crowds) are always a treat to watch.

Babymetal plays another self that encourages and inspires the inner self. As we listen to the songs, we feel that they enter the audience's heart and encourage the audience's inner heart. Audiences at the venue receive positive power from them and thank them. As a result, the venue is surrounded by great positive power.

Great reaction! I couldnt have said it better myself!!!!

I love all their videos and I hope this video stays up too because more people need to watch it and enjoy your reactions

Their home town/ country is their sanctuary reason why they put so much effort building the stage

Great reaction, Deadgrl! There is a page/channel, that I don't have handy, that places a watermark over the video and includes a link for the reactor to view the unmarked video. It used to be the Babymetal reactors Resource on RU-vid...but no longer. It is still out there. so if you have a connection with any other Babymetal reactors (or viewers), you may want to explore that options. I totally enjoy the few Babymetal videos you managed to get posted (especially the first "Death"...totally epic!). I do hope this stays up, and that you are able to post more Babymetal content. Have a great day!

I loved your reaction! There are quite a few BABYMETAL songs and videos that will just hit you in the feels! BABYMETAL are great at interacting with their crowds/fans. 🤘🦊🤘

Ever watched blind guardian ? Watch the bard song / valhalla combo :) Crowd participation on 11 🤣

This is my favorite band ever!!! I listen to them all the time and I don’t understand a word lol glad you reacted to them ☺️ also I love this song because it’s about never failing and getting back up 🤘

Ты замечательная женщина. You are a wonderful woman

These girls doing performance on x10 bigger stages when they was 16yo :) Budokan is not very big arena for them anymore :) Can u imagine 16-17yo girls perform at Tokyo Dome arena two days in a row (55k ppl each day. 110k ppl summary). Tokyo Dome WAY bigger than Budokan :) And by the way. They were at Budokan 7 years earlier, in 2014. They was 14-15yo.

Your reaction to Babymetal Karate Live is still one of my most favorite reactions to Babymetal! I play it often because I love their Budokan 2021 Live performances. Especially Karate!! I'm not sure if you have done this, but I strongly recommend reacting to their first live performance, which was doki doki morning. And then react to their Budokan 2021 performance. I get such a kick out of them performing as children to that song, and it's so light-hearted and fun. Then, as young adults to the same song. Now, in my opinion, it sounds like they not only kept the child like feel to the chorus, but MAN did they make it heavier!! LOL! I think you would get a kick out of it as well and find a huge appreciation to their later performances of Doki Doki Morning. 🤘🏽😁

Awesome reaction, DS-metal !! Impossible to go wrong in reacting to LIVE BABYMETAL!! Arigatou! 🦊🤘 #notacult

Happy for you that it was not taking down...also nice to see that the video is still up...fantastic reaction 💜

The crowd interaction they have it's outstanding, you can also see it with the Download 2016 live of Karate! Unfortunately this song was performed under covid restrictions, so there were many policies that were put in place to be able to perform, like everyone in the crowd had 2 masks, and they couldn't sing, shout or scream. That's why team BabyMetal recorded voices from the fans from previous concerts, and used them in here to create the same atmosphere they are used to have everytime they perform! But from how everyone pumped their fist together, you can imagine that if fans could, they would have screamed just as the recording did!

Only way to do Babymetal is live.. always!! Luv that you are willing to go a bit hard to actually do this. Cheers!!! Btw.. your total focus was amazing. Enjoy!!

I watched it, so it must have made it up! Kitsune Dao!

⚡ 💀 💕 / 👻 👻 👻 There's a good reason this was the featured single from the second album. : ) They made a lot of friends among other groups by playing a bunch of metal festivals, and this song converted quite a few. As is usually the case, the riffs are even heavier live than on the studio recording. Like a lot of BABYMETAL songs, this one has a positive message about facing life's challenges. BABYMETAL performed at Budokan ten times in 2021, with concerts in January, February, March and April. 'Karate' was performed at all ten shows. Those were the only BABYMETAL performances in 2021, and the most recent concerts. Of course we're hoping they'll return to live concerts and touring sometime soon. Yuimetal (Yui Mizuno) left the group for health reasons in October 2018, although it had been a year since she was on stage with BABYMETAL. Supporting Su-metal (Suzuka Nakamoto) and Moametal (Moa Kikuchi) at this show was Momoko Okazaki. Momoko was the supporting dancer ("avenger") for the last 25 BABYMETAL appearances, including all 10 of the 2021 Budokan concerts.

Babymetal 🤟 💕

BABYMETAL🔥🤘🦊🤘🔥

Please check out Babymetal From Dusk till Dawn from Budokan 2021 this live version is an absolute masterpiece and a must see

Great reaction and no one gets the audince involved as much as BabyMetal . After they get back up and the build up comes it's a awesome release of emotion i love that part .😁 Conchella is probably like Glastonbury in the UK people go to say they went . People buy tickets for Glastonbury before acts are announced . I think half of Hollywood goes and you can not get bigger posers than them 🤣🤘🦊🤘

Great job👊🏽⚡️ It is always nice to see a reactor who has persevered the label blocking BS get rewarded in the end. Had that original reaction not been blocked you might have missed out on this.

開頭重金屬音樂真的讓我整個熱起來🔥副歌也好好聽，主唱擁有一個堅定、堅強、正能量的聲音，歌曲後面情緒又慢慢堆疊上去，高音部分我直接噴淚😭😂雖然聽不懂～但這首歌帶給我滿滿的正能量👍謝謝你的視頻～看到有人跟我一樣的反應哈哈😊

Well that was inspirational. Unlike some other reactors, I believe your emotions were heart felt. I share the emotion with nearly every song by BM. I sincerely hope the algorithms are about to open up slightly and hope you return.

You can cry it's ok, i cried at the Live of Megitsune, i was... I don't know, moved inside, proud to see how well they grown, proud to see Su being such a Diva, Moa taking, at last, her real place and Sadly not Yui but it's ok Momo is here and she is absolutly awesome. About the Audience... well it's Japan and you can't really compare a public from Western to an Japanese one, they love far beyon what we, occidentals, think it's "normal". Don't forget, BM was created to be an Idol group and the Idols are half gods in Japan ^^

Great emotional reaction

Awesome 👌 👏

Even I cried with you in this reaction 🥲

BABYMETAL has mentioned that they see their live concerts as a "joint creation" together with the fans (you can watch "BABYMETAL Reacts to RU-vidrs React to BABYMETAL" for reference), and you've definitely picked up on part of the magic! This isn't unique to them, of course - the nature of audience participation in Japan is a bit different from what we tend to see in other countries, and BABYMETAL is an excellent showcase of how it can add so much power to a concert. I hope you enjoy more of their songs! If you're a sucker for great crowds, songs such as "Road of Resistance" or "Megitsune" are also excellent choices.

This is a REAL complete show! I have no words!

I think some artists are coming around to reaction videos = exposure and new fans witch = downloads and popularity that = sales and sold-out shows.

Wow they've taken about a quater of the crowd size away with no floor seating. The Budokan is TINY. 6/8000 NORMALLY With seats all round the SUMU Ring in the middle. Roughly where the girls are.

We've been waiting for your next Babymetal reaction for so long.

This band is so pure and powerfuuuuull none can resist . I hope that you can watch "road of resistance" live at budokan. You're so human and cute stay true 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾

自分もこのビデオを初めて見たとき心を深く打たれました。このグループには表現者としての高い魂を感じます。 I was deeply moved when I first saw this video. I feel a high spirit as an expressive artist in this group.

♥️

Nice reaction ! I love it ! 🌸from Japan

Awesome reaction! If you're gonna do more live babymetal make sure to check out The Babymetal Reactor Resource channel they have various live performances with a see through babymetal logo over the performance to make sure it doesn't get claimed. Trust me the details are in the description of the videos

Recently found Babymetal and I love it, you should check out more and I'll watch. Rondo of nightmares really showcases the bands talent then has a su solo performance, road to resistance has a ton of energy, pa pa ya is catchy and has a rap break that has me looking up Thai rappers

Keep the fight 💪 up

one way many reactors have been able to do Babymetal Videos is by doing the (proshot) versions that someone has released.. it is a splice and dice of multiple live concerts that pass by the algorithm

glad to see your video doing well! love the blue vibes

I watched your first Babymetal react. I loved that react and this new video. Don't give up! Please, more #Babymetal ! I suggest too #Lovebites #Nemophila #Bandmaid All female heavy metal and hard rock great bands! Ps: The Exorcist The Exorcist is one of my favorite supernatural movies. I watched the movie and read the book. I suggest too The Omen (1976, vol. I, II and III) and Rosemary´s Baby.

*MORE!* Plz

🤘🦊🤘

Legal !! Você se emociona também !! 👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏😄

FYI if the block on your original Karate reaction was a video block, you can probably get it uploaded simply by obscuring the MV - putting a translucent logo or a blur effect on it. This is a common technique that a lot of reactors use for Babymetal's official videos and their more recent Blu-ray releases that get blocked, and it really opens up a whole world of BM content to react to. I would highly recommend giving it a shot if you're interested in seeing their best stuff. Check out the 'Babymetal Reactor Resource' channel for some examples, and don't forget to check the descriptions on their videos for links to the unedited videos. :)

YES!! A+ reaction!!

I love this so much. Nothing is lovelier than honest emotion - thank you for the awesome content & for being you

I love your reaction!

While the crowd was truly awesome, it's the lyrics and Su's delivery that gets me every time!

Could you react to Corey Taylor snuff live? Don't wear makeup, it's my go to when I need a sad song especially if you pay attention to his mouth and tone. So good though

Здорово😋!мне не надо знать Английского языка чтобы понять что ты чувствуешь.Я тоже очень люблю BabyMetal. Great😋! I don't need to know English to understand how you feel. I love BabyMetal
