WHO IS THIS?? | BABYMETAL - METAL KINGDOM | First EVER Reaction! 

Babymetal are Japanese, not Korean, and they are Japan's most successful musical export. They started in 2010, when lead singer Sumetal (Suzuka Nakamoto), and backing vocalists and dancers Moa-metal (Moa Kikuchi) and Yui-metal (Yui Mizuno) were 12, 10, and 10 years old respectively. The group was created by their producer Kobametal (Key Kobayashi) for the Amuse talent agency. Babymetal began as a side project of the teen j-pop idol group Sakura Gakuin (Cherry Blossom Academy), but gained such popularity that they were spun off to become an independent act in 2013 when Sumetal graduated from Sakura Gakuin. Since then, they have released three albums: Babymetal (2014), Metal Resistance (2016), Metal Galaxy (2019), and the new album The Other One (2023), which this song is taken from, releases on March 24th. The name does not relate to their young ages when the group started, it actually has two meanings. The first is that Babymetal represents the birth of a new style of metal music that they call 'kawaii metal' (cute metal), which blends the vocals, choreography, and aesthetics of J-pop with heavy metal music. The second meaning is a Japanese play on words of the terms "heavy metal" and "baby metal". In Japanese, 'heavy metal' is written as ヘビーメタル (hebimetaru), while "baby metal" is written as ベビーメタル (bebimetaru). As you can see, they look almost identical, and they sound almost identical when spoken too. Sumetal is the main vocalist for obvious reasons, and Moa-metal does backing vocals and dances. Yui-metal (not in this video) sadly had to retire from Babymetal in 2018 due to illness, and her position in their dance formation has been filled by one of three backup dancers (Riho Sayashi, Kano Fujihira, and Momoko Okazaki) called the 'Avengers' since 2019. At the recent concert where this video was filmed, it was revealed that a new permanent third member will be added to the lineup at the upcoming concerts in Yokohama on the 1st and 2nd of April. When Babymetal performs live, they are supported by a backing band made up of Japan's best session musicians that is known as the 'Kami Band' (god/spirit band). The lineup of the Kami band varies, and they usually perform masked so that its not obvious that it's different people, however the Kami Band tends to be made up of the same performers most of the time. The regular members of the Kami Band are: Takayoshi Ohmura (guitars), BOH (bass), Hideki Aoyama (drum), and either Mikio Fujioka (until his tragic passing in 2018; rip Kogami), Leda Cygnus, or Isao on guitars. Any other instruments you hear are on a backtrack. Its worth noting that the Kami Band DO NOT play on the studio recordings, they only perform at live shows. When reactors are discovering Babymetal for the first time, they usually check out the following songs (in whatever order): Gimme Chocolate (their most famous song), Megitsune, Ijime Dame Zettai, Karate, Road of Resistance (all these can be found on RU-vid, either on the official Babymetal channel or on fan channels). Babymetal has a catalogue of over 60 songs at this point, so there is a lot to explore. Just be aware that Babymetal's management company Amuse likes to make it difficult for reactors and often claims videos. There is a channel called the 'Babymetal Reactor's Resource' www.youtube.com/@BabymetalRR that has pre-watermarked versions of their videos. Otherwise, you can put logos over the video, or mess with the transparency to fool the detection system.

Best band in the world right now. You have absolutely no idea what you’re in for. This band shock, surprise and confuse but always…..and I mean always….delight.

Holy shit I envy you so much, having all of Babymetal to discover for the first time. There's NOTHING like it on the planet.

One of the most diverse bands out there! Just keep going and you will keep getting surprised almost every song 🤘🦊🤘

I really envy you. To have the entire BabyMetal back catalogue to choose from is going to open your eyes to one of the most diverse bands ever. You will find that pretty much every BabyMetal song is different from every other BabyMetal song, and that is what makes these talented ladies so special. You will absolutely love some songs, and hate other songs until you revisit them and then you will love them as well (I'm looking at you Gimme Chocolate, you know what you are). Just give these ladies a chance and they will blow your shoes and socks off, whilst punching you in the face. SuMetal is so talented, and has an amazing voice, and I swear she can bring you to tears. Moa-Metal is an absolute angel who also has a wonderful voice but doesn't sing very much, more backing vocals (scream and dance). Welcome to the Fox Hole, it is deep and welcoming. Oh and just remember.... #NotACult :)

I didn't realize you hadn't done Babymetal! 😁 #notacult You're in for a HELL of a ride! They have been around since Su-Metal(the lead singer) was 12. Their music is all over the spectrum, but it's all spectacular! A few of my favorites include: Doki Doki Morning (their first single) Gimme Chocolate (this is what they went viral with in 2013) Megitsune (2013, still one of their best) Headbanger Road of Resistance (Herman Li co-wrote this one, do the Live in Japan version) Pa Pa Ya (do the live ft. F. Hero. He's a Thai rapper) Kingslayer (Bring Me the Horizon ft. Babymetal) BxMxC (Baby Metal Cypher) The One Divine Attack Monochrome Last 2 are off their new album that drops next month called 'The Other One' Enjoy the gifts of the Fox God! 🤘🦊🤘

Thanks for this reaction, this show opening is just Babymetal flexing their muscles. 🙂 This is Babymetal at age 25 and 23. Babymetal started early, really early as other comments already explained, they've been breaking age records in their early years in surprising ways. Their are now 2 young ladies, their used to be 3, they hinted that they might be 3 again in the near future... and they have a live band who perform with them. And a lot of performances had a dancer (not singer) with them to fill the 3th place. Babymetal at the heart is a live band/group. Part of what they do when they have a big show is create a full immersive experience as much as possible. They don't need a big stage to impress, they appreciate any audience, but big audience is very much appreciated, please react to: BABYMETAL - Ijime,Dame,Zettai - Live at Sonisphere 2014,UK (OFFICIAL)

Here are some fun facts about this Japanese group BabyMetal 1. Their most famous song Gimme Chocolate was named one of the most important metal songs of the last 10 years 2. Dragon Force performed Gimme Chocolate with BabyMetal 3. The Red Hot Chili Pepper performed Gimme Chocolate with them. 4. They are buds with Metallica and Slipknot 5. They had a cameo in Corey Taylor's video 6. They performed Pain Killer and Breaking the Law with Rob Halford of Judas Priest 7. They are the only Asian group to ever hit #1 on Billboards Top Rock chart. 8. BabyMetal and Black Pink are the only albums by girl groups in history to enter the Top 10 of Billboard’s World Albums Year End Chart. 9. In a recent interview Corey Taylor of Slipknot was asked who he listened to at home and he said "BabyMetal" 10. In 2015 Vogue Magazine Japan named them Women of The Year. Two other songs you should watch are Legend of 1997 Head Banger - (1997 is the birth year of the lead singer Su Metal) the audience goes bonkers and Road of Resistance Live in Japan their epic masterpiece. Newer songs I would suggest are BxMxC the official video and Pa Pa Ya! feat. F. Hero The girls are all grown up and beautiful and put on a stunning performance Your next song should be Legend of 1997 Head Banger because it will shatter your concept of audience reaction. When Metallica saw them live they said they were astonished at their awesomeness

If you haven't already check out their new collab with Electric Callboy, "Ratatata". It's seriously blowing up right now!

So BABYMETAL is a Japan kawaii metal band - kawaii metal is a genre THEY INVENTED (it means cute metal) - a mix of J-POP and METAL. They consist of SU-METAL (Vocal and Dance) and MOAMETAL (Scream and Dance) - they had a 3rd member YUIMETAL (Scream and Dance) but she retired in 2017 due to an undisclosed illness. They are backed by the Kami Band (session artists used for concerts - these are some of the most skilled musicians in Japan) - the Kami Band have a few members that rotate but are usually the same half dozen people most of the time. They started back in 2010 when Su was 12 AND Moa and Yui were 11 (but BABYMETAL is not about their age but rather that the words heavy and baby written in Japanese are almost identical) Their songs all differ from each other and cover the whole of metal genre including power, speed, nu, etc and even range into rock ballards almost and even solos by Su. Their early stuff as you would imagine is more J-POP but everything amazing, if you do not like a song , try another. Oh and bar about 3 MV ALWAYS check out their live performances (the exceptions include Megitsune and Karate). I would suggest checking out something like Karate (the MV) or Road of Resistance - Live in Japan both from around 2015).

Sugoi! After 55+ years of appreciating pop, rock, & metal, BABYMETAL is by far my favorite group. I'm from the U.S., and if you would have told me 10 years ago that my current favorite 3 bands were all-female Japanese groups, I would have laughed in your face. Then along came BABYMETAL, BAND-MAID, & NEMOPHILA. Who knew?! Arigatou! 🦊🤘 #notacult #kawaiimetal #metalAF

you don't know what you have discovered 🦊🤘🏽

Babymetal 101: Their live shows with live singing and instruments are 200% better than their studio and most of their official music videos, and better than 99% of idol groups out there too. They one of the world's top live bands - in fact you can find some music video they straight up used live footages from some shows - like the video you just watched here (only few are actually live audio - like No Rain No Rainbow, Road of Resistance) I highly recommend you check Megitsune - the quintessential Babymetal song, or Road of Resistance live official video, Headbanger live at Legend 1997, or Karate live at Download festival 2016.

Here's to you, who met these girls on BABYMETAL's most laid-back song!

Welcome to the Foxhole...I would suggest "Monochrome" official lyric video that has the english words, it's also new and rocks. 🤘🦊🤘

Check out Bring Me The Horizon featuring Babymetal - Kingslayer If you don’t get out of your seat with excitement, I’ll be surprised. 😂

Listening to some of your other reactions sounds like you'll definitely need to hit, BxMxC. Take your time though... I'd listen to some of thier other material first just to get the full picture.

Enjoy the BabyMetal ride. They are phenomenal in every way. You should react to their earlier songs. Karate, headbanger and catch me if you can. Watch their live performances. 🖤🔥🖤🔥

As has been related already, this band is Japanese and is Kawaii-metal (cute metal) a genre they invented (although as they evolve the balance of cute and metal is leaning toward the metal side more and more as they mature). Together as BABYMETAL since the girls were about 10 - 12 years old, they are an international sensation that have won many awards and even briefly held BILLBOARD's #1 rock album position for their last album (METAL GALAXY). Their arena productions are rivaled only by Rammstein's No-one has ever done it before, but it may be interesting for you to start with their newest songs and work backwards through their catalog, which I'm sure would result in increasing WTF reactions for months (they are about to release their 4th album, which is the source of this song). The fanbase is extremely supportive and known as THE ONE. By the end of this day you will have more views and comments with information than you have had on the majority of your reactions to other bands. I am 58, American, and have played in metal bands since the 80s, with Judas Priests being my favorite band for many years (btw, Rob Halford loves these girls, has performed on stage with them and is known to bring them flowers when they pass through his neck of the woods). I now count BABYMETAL as my favorite band ever, and they have been instrumental in giving me back my love of music which had somewhat diminished after many years of same ol, same ol. Chronologically speaking, reverse order would make the next reaction to them "MONOCHROME" and I would highly recommend the Official lyric video for. Strap in, prepare to have your mind blown over and over, occasionally weep with joy, and to have your world of metal music redefined forever. Welcome to The One, and watch your step as you tumble into the foxhole, it goes deep! Kitsune dao!

The word Legend is used as a trade-off for the word Live. As you see in the comments almost all will want you to react to live (legend) stuff. This is going to be a wild ride for you, I'm thinking. Have fun going down The Foxhole (Babymetal Galaxy).

well i think you might like "Karate" or "Rondo of nightmare"

They were officially introduced on the 2010 October 10. An experiment that got out of hand. Formed by Su-metal (Suzuka Nakamoto 12 years Vocalist ) also known as Queen-Su or true metal goddess. Moametal (Moa Kikuchi 11years Chorus) Yuimetal (Yui Mizuno 11years Chorus ) does not appear in the last concert of 2017, his retirement is announced in 2018. The musicians are known as Kami-Band (divine band or band of the gods). They create their own Kawaii-metal genre. Kawaii It is translated as tender, beautiful...., It is characterized by using everything that is considered tender pop, folk, rap, march,... everything that you cannot imagine, On a base of any metal. The only thing you can expect...... Is the unexpected. In Japan, minors under 15 years of age cannot go to concerts, which is why his first works are aimed at this audience, despite that, they reached a much larger audience. Their first work titled "Babymetal" is a compilation of early hits with more youthful and adult themes, the album "Metal Resistance" is more youthful adult, still using hooks for minors, The "Babymetal Galaxy" is more adult, using genres from all over the world. His fourth work "the other one" (The one, is the official name of the fans) It's a concept album " WELCOME TO FOXHOLE" #notacult

Learning Babymetal with their latest song, oh boy, you are not at the deep end of a pool. You're in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

Babymetal are japanese, not korean. If you want korean metal bands, i suggest Messgram and Synsnake.

Their backing band is fantastic, a great intro to them is "Catch me if you can".

Welcome to the foxhole! You’re in for one hell of a ride my friend! Babymetal is a Kawaii (Cute) Metal band from Japan that started back in 2010. It originally consisted of 3 members. The main vocalist, The Goddess and Our Queen, Suzuka Nakamoto (aka Su-Metal) is the leader. The other beautiful woman you saw in the video is Moa Kikuchi (aka Moa-Metal) and she is the back up vocals and the dancer of the band. The third member was Yui Mizuno (aka Yui-Metal) and she was also the back up vocals and dancer of the band. But sadly, she left the band back in 2018 due to an unknown illness. The song you just heard was from their upcoming album that is releasing at the end of March this year. Now that you kinda have a little intro to this amazing band you should definitely check out all of their other stuff. Some songs I would suggest: Headbanger Road of resistance Megitsune Karate Pa Pa Ya Yava Brand New Day Death GJ! (Black Babymetal, Consist of just yui and moa) Onedari Daisakusen (Black Babymetal) Doki Doki Morning Catch me if you can Sis Anger (black Babymetal) From dusk to dawn Distortion Kagerou Starlight I can go on! These are just my personal favorites! Have fun!

I subscribed so I can see your Babymetal journey. They are the best thing I've heard in decades, and I love seeing people make their way through their incredibly powerful and diverse discography. I'd start with the first.album, and stick to live tracks, they are superb live. Headbanger (Legend 1997 concert), Road of Resistance (live), Catch Me If You Can (at Budokan live), Ijime Dame Zettai at Sonisphere 2014 are popular reactor vids. The MV for Megitsune is great. Welcome aboard mate, you'll love it.

Top 5 in no particular order... 1. Headbanger Live at Legend 1997 2. Rondo of Nightmare with Mischiefs of the Gods Intro (Black Night at Budokan) 3. Road of Resistance Live in Japan 4. Karate Official Music Video 5. Megitsune (any performance whatsoever)

Honestly EVERY SINGLE SONG is my favorite and welcome to the fandom!

Oh BABYMETAL is no joke friend, and it will open to you the door to the whole J-Metal scene, you will find there are other metal bands that kick ass like LOVEBITES around there. But first, enjoy delving a bit in the world of BABYMETAL. This video is from the 29th of january and this girls are 25/23 now, but they started in 2010, literally as babies.

Give me chocolate. Listen to that too

Babymetal is awesome. You should check out Megitsune, it's one of their older songs and it's amazing

Japanese girl metal bands, you will fall in the same huge rabbit hole that engulfed us all.... Babymetal are not just a band, they are a cult. They just dropped a new single btw with Electric callboy. it will be on every festival playlist this summer..

still waiting for more reaction from this group 🦊🤘

check out the song Karate official MV - all 3 girls are present in that MV.

Actually, this isn't purely a rabbitho... sorry.. foxhole. Babymetal borders on (religious) obsession for a large part of the fandom. Their catalogue, backstory and lore has consumed more than a handful of fans. Careful. I am not exaggerating :-) #notacult

First off.............GO BLUE! Still looking for your next BABYMETAL reaction! You ain't seen nothin' yet!

oh man, we have another newbie.. this is gonna be a blast :) buckle up my friend, prepare to be mindblown! Believe it or not, this is not even close to their best songs or live performance LOL Just get ready for the unexpected for your dive down the Babymetal Fox Hole will be a trip, and we long-time fans are going to enjoy every second of watching you lose your shit at how great these girls/ladies are...

I guess now you have to react to the first BABYMETAL song BABYMETAL - ド・キ・ド・キ☆モーニング - Doki Doki☆Morning (OFFICIAL) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cirhQ8iLdbw.html

If you're not checking out JMetal and JRock you're way behind the times for fresh, new and unique music. Checkout JMetal bands like Nemophila just their song "Revive" for starters... and JRock bands Band Maid. Their Official live recording of the song "Play" can get your blood pumping again.

BABYMETAL MY LOVES😭💕💕

The band and the 3 girls both amazing really. Refreshingly different. Rondo of nightmare is a great one. But truly all their stuff is great and the fan base (the one) are pretty awesome and crosses generations and genres. 😀 Ps - their live stuff is much better in my opinion.

Very good reaction! You have seen the "new" BABYMETAL (they had a two year stop), but to discover the "old" ones, I suggest to react to Megitsune (OFFICIAL). In general, their live performance are better than the studio versions, but in this case I think you should reat to that, first. Then, please react to their first show outside Japan (Ijime,Dame,Zettai - Live at Sonisphere 2014,UK (OFFICIAL)), in front of a 60.000 people crowd which had no idea of who they where.

Best videos to react to: Megitsune (Official MV), Road to Resistance (Live in Tokyo), and Headbanger! (Legend 1997)

good reaction, I recommend their new songs Mirror Mirror.

The Japanese music industry is rife with idol groups that are horrid. The industry is controlled and managed by a oligarchy that churns out these crappy idol groups. Young folks who dream of making it big join a dance studio where they train for years to dance in sync and to work on their image. As they get better at dance routines they climb the rank in their studio until they are rolled out as yet another awful idol group. The three woman in Baby Idol were cut from one of these idol factories. A producer wanted to do something different and make an "idol metal song" so he hired the woman to front Baby Mental. He developed the song "Gimme Chocolate" which he put together in a studio (I believe no actual musicians were used). There was no band, just a song and 3 failed idol singers who had probably never heard a metal song in their lives before they were hired for Baby Metal. The woman did the vocals and the song was released. It took off and musicians were hired to tour with the woman. Japan happens to have an incredible number of proficient musicians who are very talented but do not fit into the boy band or idol group mould and struggle away for years or decades playing live at various small venues across the country. I say that because it was "easy" to hire really good musicians for Baby Metal once "Gimme Chocolate" took off. The producer hired the right people for the band and their live shows became very popular. I'm sure the musicians who were hired to be the band took the gig as something just to pay a few bills and as an opportunity to perform for a week or two. The guitarist, Mikio Fujioka was one such very talented musicians who went from struggling talented musicians to huge crowds with Baby Metal in a very short time. He died after a fall 5 years ago and was replaced by an equally talented "nobody." In short the singers and musicians were all complete failures at becoming pop idols but because of the talented "faceless" musicians that are hired by the producer for the touring group they have found great success. They deserve the success they have. They put on a really good show and the band are incredible musicians. I really like this new song "Metal Kingdom." P.S. Japan is awash with talented blues and Jazz musicians. I mean, really good. Tokyo has the best jazz scene on the planet by a mile.

Check out (react :) to any of those BUT ONLY LIVE PERFORMANCES (they are better live that in studio): Headbanger, Road of Resistance, Cacth if you Can, Ijime Dame Zettai, Megitsune.

You're hilarious! People have been asking you to react to Babymetal since you first listened to Ghost Love Score. They are Japanese.💜 My request is Gimme Chocolate it's one of their older songs.

They are Japanese😅

KAWAII METAL.

9:45 *ahem* foxhole

if you know dreamcatcher some of the members are fans of babymetal...

🙀🙀🙀

What is going on? You're looking at the future...

Don't do it with Korea. You will be beaten by the right wing of Japan. Correct it. If you're a RU-vidr, you have to research. Are you an amateur who doesn't know BABYMETAL?

This is one of their more tame songs actually. You should do the band Passcode next if you want more music like BabyMetal. I think Passcode is my favorite of the genre but BabyMetal is a close second.

K-POP'??????NO!!

Babymetal are Japanese not Korean

Welcome & Thanks from Japan, BABYMETAL's homeland 有難う💛。 This video is from on Jan.28 /29 held in Makuhari, near Tokyo. I witnessed both shows at the venue. BM is the best phenomenon in music I have ever experienced in my 67-year-long life. BTW, we say "Japan is the country obsessed by Rock Music". (Totally different from Korea) The history is very long and the obsession started in 1966 when Beatles visited Japan and held 5 concerts at Budokan. Speaking of hard rock / heavy metal music, a number of bands started to come to Japan since as early as 1970s : Led Zeppelin / Grand Funk Railroad (1971), Deep Purple (1972), Queen (1975), Kiss (1977), Cheap Trick / Van Halen / Scorpions (1978), Judas Priest (1978/79) and so on. Now, any type of rock can be enjoyed here, especially by many all-female or women-fronted bands. They are daughters of American / European rock, for sure. (Many are grand-daughters in terms of age.) Uh-oh, we also say "Japan is the country obsessed by Jazz". It had started earlier than rock 😄

Metal Queen Su and Princess Moa will continue to amaze you.

Dad, you have big gap to BM, about last 12 years...welcome to Fox-World...Kistune-Up!!!!

OMG. The One, he NEEDS to see Doki Doki Morning.... I'll tell ya, it would be a totally hilarious reaction...

I'm Japanese .Thank for your nice reaction . There is no singer who has both beauty and good singing like Su-Metal (the lead singer of Babymetal) 'in Japan' , I think . She is 25years old now . She belongs to the biggest entertainment company in Japan and is a famous singer and talent from when a child .

Welcome to the kingdom of the Fox God!! I had the same reaction when I saw the first video. I recommend Headbanger, Distortion, Karate. The girls Mo Metal (24) and Moa Metal (22) they started out as little kids (hence Babymetal) they started out as a Trio that included Yuri Metal but she left the band in 2018 due to health reasons. It is rumored that Baby Metal is going to add a new member this tour or possibly Yuri is coming back.

Welcome to the BABYMETAL Galaxy or now should I say Kingdom. You haven't seen anything yet. Enjoy the journey if you continue down the Fox hole. 🤘🦊🤘🎌

As others have said, BABYMETAL is Japanese. Most people are confused in the beginning. Its normal. A lot of them get stuck on the name, others get stuck on the cute stuff in their early music, still others cant see the forest for the trees. BABYMETAL is one of the most diverse, heaviest, and unique bands in all of history. All of history. Pioneers, they invented this genre. They have some of the most complex guitar compositions I have ever heard, even Dream Theater has commented on it. There are over 50 songs. Every single one is different. You are in for a ride. You started with the newest song. As you go back in time, over the last 13 years, you will learn a lot. I will give you the five "essential" songs I would recommend to anyone who is just starting out, and the order I think you should listen. I would highly recommend live versions of any given BM song as they tend to deliver better in live performances than their studio releases. The Kami Band live is a monster in its own right. I would also recommend trying to find songs with english subtitles so you can understand the meanings a bit better. There are layers at play in nearly every song. A lot of puns, a lot of cross cultural nuance, and oftentimes clear positive messages. Megitsune - The quintessential BABYMETAL song. There is cultural meaning to this song, and it will give you a strong feel for their early compositions. This is their most performed live song. Headbanger - One of their most popular songs, tells a story about a girls 15th birthday at a concert, and has several variants where the backing dancers sing the second half on their 15th and 20th birthdays. (the 20th is a significant day in Japan, as it is the day of legal adulthood). Road of Resistance - BABYMETALS modern set closer or encore, and their big crowd participation anthem. You must watch this one live. Anything less and you will miss out on the most important part of the song, the crowd chant in the middle. Ijime, Dame, Zettai - Their early closer and one of their strongest message songs. It literally means "Bullying, No, Absolutely" or "No more bullying, forever". Live at Sonisphere 2014 is the vid to watch, as this was their first concert outside of Japan (and a tiny one off in Singapore). This was their introduction to the Western world, in front of 60,000 people at a metal festival. Karate - A song about overcoming obstacles, being your own worst enemy, getting back up, and helping/relying on your friends. No matter how you proceed, know that The One (the name of the fans) will be here with you, new Kitsune. The Foxhole is very deep and full of surprises.

1st they have nothing to do with Korea. They are Japanese but have made international tours. Their best moment imo is the Road Of Resistance performance as a trio 7 years ago the Official Live, you will understand much just from this performance, and you can go from there.

Rondo of nightmare .next..

Great first reaction and welcome to the BABYMETAL Fox Hole.🦊This will be the opening track on the album being released 24th March - and of course they used it as the epic and theatrical opening number for their concerts (their first in nearly 2 years) last weekend - that was where this was filmed.🤘🦊🤘 There are already some excellent comments explaining who they are and some of their history etc so I won't repeat all that. You have a lot of catching up to do. They formed in 2010 as a sub-unit of the Idol group Sakura Gakuin and separated from that group to become an independent band in 2013. Since then they have released 3 studio albums and the 4th, which this song comes from, will be released in March. They have over 50 songs now and each one is different to the last. They have fun, happy songs, deep meaningful songs and nearly always they are positive and uplifting. They also fuse Metal with pop and many other musical styles and genres. There is no other band quite like them, they are not only original and unique but also hugely talented. They include dance with nearly every song (this one was more about the drama and spectacle of course) and they are one of the very best live performance acts on the planet. You already have a lot of good suggestions for what songs to react to next ... pick any of them (the official videos are all good but BABYMETAL are a live performance act first and foremost - that is where they are always at their best).

BABYMETAL are the founders of the „Kawaii Metal“ genre, „kawaii“ meaning „cute“. Essentially they have fused all sorts of genres with multiple sub-genres of Metal over the last ten+ years. Apart from that, they are adding choreographed dancing, insane stage setups, great crowd interaction and happy smiles to the usual Metal ingredients. It’s an interesting time right now, as it‘s not yet clear how much of the playfulness and cuteness remains as they are in their mid-twenties now. It seems like they are toning it down a bit, but nevertheless they are certainly still a very unique and fun Metal band. It will be interesting to see how you feel about their older stuff.

'Babymetal road of resistance' as the next step into the fox hole plz

Welcome to the fox Hole. You asked for info, and the one, babymetals fandom will certainly answer lol. Grington and Jake will give you a wall of text if they haven't already.

Gonna be an ass saying this, but it really irritates me. Confusing Japan with Korea is like confusing France and Germany.

Not K-pop J Metal Babymetal are a Japanese band that have been around since 2010 so they have a long history that you can look into enjoy

AVENGERS: 3 Dancers who took turns performing the choreography in Yuimetal’s spot after her departure. They do not sing and do not have microphones. They only dance. They are: Riho Sayashi: Suzuka’s former rival at Actors School Hiroshima, having often competed for the same roles. Former “Absolute Ace” of the Idol group Morning Musume. Now a solo artist. Kano Fujihara: Former Member of Sakura Gakuin, the school-aged Idol group that BABYMETAL was born out of. Like Suzuka and Moa before her, Kano was Student Council President her last year in Sakura Gakuin. She is now a member of the Idol group @onefive, which is comprised of 4 Sakura Gakuin graduates. Kano only performed with BABYMETAL in Japan as she could not travel due to her commitments to Sakura Gakuin and @onefive. Momoko Okazaki: Also a Sakura Gakuin graduate. Was contestant on the Korean reality survival program "Girls Planet 999" and performed in a stage musical production. Momoko was the only Avenger to perform in the “10 BABYMETAL Budokan” shows. She returned to perform in the 2 most recent shows and is highly speculated to become the new permanent 3rd member. Keep in mind, we are notacult. Kitsune Da O! 🤘🦊🤘

Ask and you shall receive. XD Welcome to the Fox Hole. There's room for everyone in The One. 🤘🦊🤘 #notacult

More babymetal.. but live amuse is very strict with copyright

Great reaction, thanks and welcome to BABYMETAL kingdom (queendom?? ...whatever!) Of course you have no idea what rabbit hole are you getting into because you have fallen into the Fox Hole. And that's fantastic. You have already a TON of info and suggestions... well you asked for it! 🤣So, I'm just going to give you my usual advice: expect the unexpected and prepare to be surprised. Enjoy your BABYMETAL journey! 🤘🦊

BabyMetal is a Japanese band. A fusion of Jpop & Metal genres. Been together for over 10 years. No two songs are the same. They have different Metal genres from thrash to prog to djent to black metal. As for my favorite BabyMetal songs… 1. Syncopation 2. Kagerou 3. Akatsuki

This song is just the tip of the iceberg. If you love Metal, and have an open mind, Babymetal will absolutely consume you. There’s a ton of stuff to learn.

Who is Babymetal you ask? They are the GOAT of Japanese rock/metal and one of the greatest metal bands ever, BTW live is the best way to experience this band. You can also expect a massive number of views everytime you post one of their videos 🦊🤘

Great reaction, and you have not seen anything yet! I can't say anything that has not been already been mentioned (like they a Japanese metal fusion band), I would suspect...but I will day that you will continually impressed with what you about to start witnessing. And I will be looking forward to all those coming reactions! Kitsune up!

1. Road of Resistance (Live in Japan) 2. Headvanger.(Live Legend 1997 Concert) 3. Rondo of Nightmare (Budukan Black Night) 4. Akatushi Budukan Black Night) 5. Karate (Download Festival UK 2016) 6. Ijime-Dame-Zettai aka No Bullying Ever (Sonishere UK 2014. The Concert that Made BABYMETAL. And Brought a 15 going on 16 Y.o Su-Metal and 2 14 going on 15 yr olds in MoaMetal and YuiMetal to the World). 7. Death (Legend 1997 Concert Show Closer was right after Headbanger) 8. CATCH ME IF YOU CAN (Look for live video with subtitles. Give while new slant on typical thinking of its a song about Hide and Go Seek. Yes it is except they're plqying with 2 Djinn bliod demons. Who un Japanese legend stole children like our bogeyman stories. Also the Dont wear red shoes is very very very prevalent to conspiracy theories today about red shoe club for the rich to hide any tell tale red splatter if you get me). 9. Distortion 10. Megutsune Music Video to see how young they were. And for Su Metal SHORT SWORD KATANA MIC. 12. GJ. (LEGEND XX MOA SOLO 1st time doing a Black BABYMETAL SONG WITHOUT YUI AFTER SHE LEFT. CROWD HELPED HER WITH IT. SO GOOD.) 13. YAVA Enought to go on with. Not a FAVORITES LIST. KEEP TO LIVE VIDEOS MOSTLY. OFFICIAL WILL RUN YOU AFOUL OF AMUSE (BABYMETALs Management Company who love Copyright striking videos).

They are from Japan The name does not refer to age or voices, what happens is that Babymetal and heavy metal in Japanese is written and pronounced almost the same "WELCOME TO FOXHOLE" #notacult

Enjoy the journey, man. I wish I could experience them for the first time again. Mind blowing live performances. They have one of (if not) the best production teams on the planet today. I’ve bought 3 of their live performance blu-rays since discovering them. My PS5 has almost burnt holes in the discs since then.

I don't know who Baby Monster are, but Babymetal are one of the most reacted to bands on the planet; difficult to believe that a RU-vid reactor in 2023 didn't know of them

Headbanger - Legend 1997 #foxgod #notacult

BabyMetal - Headbanger self-explanatory

This is the kind of reaction I love to see! You are right, Babymetal started in 2010 when they were VERY young (11 & 12) with 3 girls. One of them (Yui-metal) left in 2018 due to health reasons. The other 2 (Su-metal & Moa-metal) are now 23 & 25 and still doing Babymetal. There are rumors that Babymetal will be finally replacing Yui with a new permanent 3rd member in a couple of months so all the fans are excited for that. Their music was originally called "Kawaii-metal" as it was a mixture of J-Pop and Heavy metal (kawaii is Japanese for cute). But since Yui left, their style and music have evolved to be more mature. Even though they're not as cutsie as before they are still as awesome as ever. Since you are still getting your feet wet in the Babymetal world I will only suggest 3 of their songs for your next reactions: Karate, Road of Resistance and Megitsune. Please watch the original music videos for those. Most fans will say Babymetal is always better live but these 3 songs are some of their best music videos and the RoR video is a life performance one anyway. Babymetal fans are a welcoming bunch. We are called "The One" to signify our unity and solidarity. If you are lucky you will find many dissertations from fans explaining to you Babymetal's entire history (maybe even longer than this one! lol) We love welcoming new people into The One #notacult lol I look forward to watching you enjoy your journey down the foxhole! Kitsune up!

Babymetal never disappointed since 2013 until now

only problem with starting with this song is that now you are ruined for earlier stuff. LOL. Su the lead singer has been on stage in some form since she was 6 years old. Babymetal was an experiment to blend two totally different styles and some how it works. sad this video is live but audio is studio. Babymetal is best served live. they have won so many awards. now you will have to look into them more. to me the next reaction you should do is Karate from Download 2016. it shows how good they are live at a festival and they main point of Babymetal is the crowds and how they interact with them.

BABYMETAL from Japan not Korean 🤘🦊

Choose any live performance. You'll be pleased.

please more reaction to BABYMETAL :)

If you love metal, Please listen 'BABYMETAL - Rondo of Nightmare Live @ Budokan Black Night'

What you just found is Japan's #1 International Group...Babymetal!!! Their last album back in 2019, "Metal Galaxy", hit #13 in the USA on the Billboard "Hot 200" Album chart(one of the highest charting Japanese album of all time) and #1 on Billboard's "Top Rock Album" chart!!! Their New Album "The Other One" is slated to drop next month and the song you just listened to is the First song on it. This was their first Live performance in almost 2 years! And it's a Fox Hole not a rabbit hole!! LoL!! But seriously, if Rock and Metal is where your heart is, Japan has been leading the way over the last decade and Babymetal is one of the biggest reason the West has turned its ear to the East!! That's basically why Marty Friedman moved to Japan after he left Megadeth...Japan has never left Rock'n'Roll the way the West has left it. And the innovative sound comming from groups like Babymetal, Band Maid, Lovebites, Nemophila and many Many others is where you will find that Rock is still Alive and Well in the World!! Thanks for the Reaction and as always.... Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!

Subscribing for more babymetal reactions 🤟🦊

Rondo of Nightmare, live. You will thank me later.
