Great reaction. 'PA PA YA' is one of those songs ... some people loved it right from the off, some really didn't - until they experienced it live and in person, then it hit them why it is so popular. It is just one of their fun songs that you find yourself jumping about and enjoying regardless of how you may have felt about it from just listening to the album. F Hero flew in to Japan at the start of BABYMETAL's 2019 tour to appear as their special guest at the firs two concerts. When they played in Bangkok last year he once again joined them on stage as their special guest.
This is from the PIA Arena show from April 2023. I was at this show, so I was in one of those crowd blocks waving a towel around and yelling "Pa Pa Ya!". This song didn't really grab at first when I first heard it, but after experiencing it live a few times, it's really grown on me. Pa Pa Ya! is a staple of their live set that they play at most of their shows and it always gets a great reaction from the crowd. You can can always tell the real kitsune from the more casual fans because the kitsune all know to bring a towel to the show to wave during Pa Pa Ya!
It is one of their fun songs, so find jim in nearly every setlist. But the few occurences he had live with them were something special. This was one of the reasons that heboffered 2023 a collab with Bodyslam. He had worked with them and he knew that their guitarist was a Babymezal fan.
Good one👊🏽⚡️Good point F-hero has a very unique Metal voice. It has serious presence. Which matches very well with Babymetal’s strong stage presence 🦊🤘🏾
_Matsuri da!_ 🦊🤘🍠 Welcome back to the Foxhole. Last year fans at Bangkok enjoyed this song live with F.Hero as a special guest for the third time performing together after this live version 2019 in Japan, but everyone enjoyed this in every concert, it's a hit they don't wanna miss in any of their setlist, except for rare events. F.Hero is a top Thai rapper artist and he's singing/rapping in Thai language, the title is in reference to the papaya fruit used to make a popular Thai salad. Is a fun song to represent and celebrate the mix between these two great cultures, and fans at the World Tour 2023 and more recently at Legend MM enjoyed this song. If you want another rare live performance with Latin rhythm vibes you got "Night Night Burn" live at Legend Metal Galaxy 2020, or with Indian influence like "Shanti Shanti Shanti" official MV, better yet if you look for "folky" vibes then you got "Oh! MAJINAI" ft. Joakim Brodem live at Legend Metal Galaxy 2020 or Budokan 2021, you'll notice almost every BM song got their own unique dance choreo. This song belongs to 3rd album "Metal Galaxy" released in 2019 but this one as well many more songs are exploring a different Babymetal side, sometimes more mature, but trying to not lose their fun. The footage of this was took from BABYMETAL AWAKENS: The Sun Also Rises 2019 in Yokohama Arena Japan, F.Hero was invited for this, the night before he was really in panic with the amount of people and even throwing all out after the show, It ain't easy to face that crowd, especially after receiving some negative critics from BM fans who didn't like his participation on this, fortunately he recover from this and received a warming welcome. Also that night they introduced the _avengers_ system, a group of three backup dancers filling the third spot that YuiMetal left (she left the group in 2018). They rotate so not always you'll see the same one on stage, usually the live official MV before 2020 is with Kano Fujihira, she started this when having 14 years old, so young like our girls back in their early days. None of them have mic or sing and aren't official members, they just dance. But remember that status changed recently when MomoMetal was announced as a new official member. Again, the one you saw in this live compilation isn't MomoMetal but Kano-chan as an avenger. Cool you found this live version with live sound unlike the official MV with studio album sound. Thanks for sharing this and see you next time 🦊🤘🔥
Great reaction, great energy which just seems appropriate considering the song. So glad you reacted to other than the official video of this. First most reactors do the official which at this point seems maybe a little boring. This version was hype all the more so because you actually got to hear the crowds energy at the performance. Good choice, good job!
