SUPER FUN | BABYMETAL - Kagerou: Live w/ Kami Band Intro (REACTION) 

As if that is a choice. She's always going to speak english with a japanese accent. The only way to lose the accent except in rare cases is to spend part of your youth speaking that language primarily. I know people who lived in America for 40 years who still have an accent. I mean, all of them do.

@@Jordan-Ramses we all have our own accents👊🏽⚡️

I'm a little surprised he didn't notice. Those are so obviously not Japanese people. I was skeptical of the Kami Band of the West at first too. And i understand that people don't like change. But they're great.

@@Jordan-Ramses They're great. I would say the Eastern Kami have a more technical vibe, but the Western Kami are more aggressive in their playing. Both styles work perfectly. I can say that having seen both.

@@Wombatmetal I agree, I think the Western Kamis are better with songs that have more American style guitars like Karate and Kagerou. I don't know about more technical. Is clean guitar more technical than dirty guitar? Dirty guitar sounds better and they do it on purpose. People say that classical guitar is more technical than rock guitar. I don't agree with that at all. Rock guitar sounds better. If you're playing classical guitar you're doing it wrong. But I get what you mean :)

are kami band still with babymetal ?

@@lutfiandthereaction Ofc they are. The Kami band is a bunch of different players that rotate in/out depending on schedules.

Consistently rolling r's is so frustrating for me...

I don't think she is really much better of a singer. But her voice is maturing. It won't be fully mature until her late 20s. People judge her from songs she sang when she was 13 or 14. She still sang them well but you can't compare that to professional female vocalists who are full adults.

@@Jordan-Ramses Forgive me if I misunderstand you but you seem to be saying we can't or shouldn't compare teenage Su-metal's voice to adult Su-metal's voice. Why not? To my ears, the difference is huge and obvious. No disrespect to teenage Su is implied. As I said, she's been a great singer since childhood. But it would be weird (and disappointing) if she hadn't improved since she was 13 or 14 years old, especially given a decade of training and practice and professional experience since then. (One trivial example: it's not the case that Japanese teenagers can't roll their "r"s and then, when they turn 20, they suddenly can. It takes vocal training and practice.) So it's not simply a matter of physical maturation. Su has also expanded her vocal skillset to include new abilities and styles to enhance her performance. Again, forgive me if I've misread your meaning. We're all fans of Su-metal here. All the best.

I usually don't even try to understand them. I don't think it's possible for a native english speaker to understand Japanese song lyrics. It's not only a completely unrelated language but a completely foreign culture. I just listen to her voice as an instrument. Which i think Japanese people find surprising but shouldn't be. Considering english language artists are at least fairly popular in Japan. Maybe they thought that English speaking people just didn't like songs in Japanese because Japanese groups haven't been popular. But that really isn't it. I will admit i thought before Babymetal that Japanese music was just bad or something i was not interested in. But i think there are definitely things in Japanese music that westerners can appreciate. Just not all of it. I still don't like most Japanese groups. I think Babymetal mostly sticks to the part of Japanese music that translates to a western audience.

@@Jordan-Ramses I think the opposite is also true. I also sometimes try to read the lyrics of my favorite Western rock band, but I can not understand it completely. I know that Westerners often consider rock band vocals to be an instrument. However, I think we need not to understand the culture of each other completely. I don't know if you're criticizing me, or I wonder if it is offensive to you that I write a long sentence with my bad English, but you can ignore me, right?, sorry. (This might be also a cultural difference?, or I can't read your meaning or emotions from your writing with my poor English ability.)

@@minamihideki7123 - no i'm not criticizing you. It's probably my fault i am not good at text communication. I get bored with language and like to express myself in colorful ways that are confusing when it's only text. I responded because i thought what you said was interesting. I agree about not having to understand culture completely but when you have a completely foreign language and then different cultures and then also it's written in song form then that is a very very difficult puzzle. What i really mean is that when you are dealing with a song in a foreign language people should not form negative opinions. For example the english translation of Onedari Daisakusen. It sounds bad in english but i understand not to take an english translation too literally. It's clearly a cute and harmless song.

@@Jordan-Ramses I am so sorry, and thank you for your reply. It's the lyrics, represented by "I will become your bride, Dad", right? I want to write my opinion in detail here, but I don't have enough time or space. I think the lyrics are based on the culture of father-daughter relationships in Japan, but it is a song with a bit of exaggeration and fiction, but an exquisite song. Indeed, I think a little girl start to develop her own personality around the age of 4 or 5, and that daughter will first like her father. And it's true that the daughter tries to please her father and says, "I'll marry my dad when I grew up," However, it's an innocent word, and it's not a reality. Moreover, behind a cute face, It is almost Manga world that learning how to trick her father to satisfy her desires and she smiles as devil. However, I can imagine that it might happen, and when I listen to the song and laugh at it as funny, I suddenly feel that my spine is chilling. I think it is a song like teaching me that women, even a little girls, are not only cute but scary, as a bit joking and same as Megitsune' s phrase. In Japan, it is common for a father and a small daughter to take a bath at home together. Not only that, I often go to the nearby public baths, where some fathers and their little daughters are bathing naked. I don't feel anything either. There are sexual offenders in Japan as well, but there is no argument that this culture is a hotbed of sexual offenses. But at some point, daughters in their early teens suddenly hate their father as if he was dirty one. Su- and her sister Himeka seemed to declare that they would no longer be in the bath with their father when they were in the upper grades of elementary school, and that her father was quite disappointed. I remember reading it somewhere. That's why it's well-balanced in Japan as well. Originally in Japan, until the Edo period, it was liberating to sex. It seems that the public bath was a mixed bath of naked men and women. It came into contact with Western culture and changed little by little. Even I, a Japanese, imagine that mixed bathing will be confusing for sure. However, in some old hot springs in Japan, the culture of mixed bathing still remains. Even I, a Japanese, may not understand the Japanese feelings of the Edo period. Culture is relative even in the domestic. So I can't simply have negative opinion about it. I agree with you.

@@minamihideki7123 - little girls say that in America too, they don't realize that marriage is a sexual relationship or what that means. But people in America are very uptight about those sort of things. Not that it should be allowed but as a man you can barely even say hi to a young girl without worrying that people are going to think you're creepy.

Barone doesn't play for Shadow of Intent. He left last year. He changes bands like changing underwear
