If you want smth heavier then listen to some of the Black Babymetal stuff. GJ, Onedari Daisakusen, Sis Anger or Song 4. The third one of these is heavy af

This isnt the sound of Babymetal lol it is but it isnt. If that makes sense. The guitar riffs in this song are dope tho.

Honestly I’m more of a fan of Hanabie than Baby Metal. Not that they aren’t amazing I just like the harder more unique sound of Hanabie. Saw them last year and it was one of the most fun metal shows I’ve ever been to. Yuki really knows how to control the crowd

I think you should still go back to the beginning. Just sayin'. Keep rockin’ BABYMETAL!!! KITSUNE UP!!! 🤘🦊🤘

This video used footage from two shows; I was at the show at the LA Forum which was one of the two shows. This was the first song of the set, and with the big screen behind them, lights, sound, their stage moves; it was sensory overload and it was partway through the song before my brain could catch up. Fantastic show. Try Akatsuki, Rondo of Nightmare, or Headbanger. I too prefer the heavier stuff but I think they're breaking me over time

Ok, looks like you are headed down the rabbit hole. Subscribing. My suggestion as you get sucked into the vortex of Japanese metal is to forget about genre--it's just not relevant, you are in another universe. Japanese metal is on an incredible roll, especially the women, who are kicking ass on an epic scale. Another great band you should check out, is Bridear. Founded in 2011, they were in the second wave of all-female heavy-metal bands. They have the classic twin-lead attack and technical rhythm section. They have gone through some changes but have always kept their hard, heavy, technical sound. Their tiny bassist even does death growls! They just released their new album on June 28 (Japan time), and it’s a banger. BURRN is calling it a masterpiece. The Metal Hammer review compares them to Lovebites (an apex band which you are going to get to soon, I guarantee you!) They have posted two video singles from the album: “Still Burning” czcams.com/video/v7UOTBAtJh0/video.html and “Cult” czcams.com/video/ohFf1pwwoz0/video.html

⚡ 💕 / 💃 This is BABYMETAL's tribute to Japanese Dance music of the '90s. The "Whoa!" in the background is a famous sample used in many '90s dance hits. The guest guitarist on the studio version of this song is Tak Matsumoto. He's best known for the group B'z. They're the best selling artists ever in Japan, and one of the best selling worldwide. It was quite a score getting him for the 'Metal Galaxy' album, but as Su has mentioned in interviews, they were able to get all of their first choices as guest artists. Matsumoto was very influential in Japanese Dance music from the '90s, so I think he was a great choice for this track. Moa's lyrics in her rap section are direct references to dance songs of that era. She's literally listing song titles from that era. I was there for the world premiere of this song at the LA Forum on October 11th, 2019. About half the footage in this music video was from that show.

Hanabie (pronounced HAHN-a-bi-ǝ) This is what you get when Babymetal and Maximum the Hormone have a love child. They actually started in high school, playing MTH covers. In their short existence, they have already published three albums and toured Europe and North America more than once. Clearly one of THE new metal bands to watch. Most of their songs are quite pointed, concerning social issues like dating app abuse, sexual harassment, drugs, human trafficking, cheating etc. “We Love Sweets” is about having an unhealthy relationship to sugar. Members: Vocalist (Harsh, rap)- Yukina Guitarist and Clean vocals - Matsuri Bassist and backing vocals - Hettsu Drums - Chika (replaced Sae in 2023) (Their producer, Gaku Taura, is also the drummer for Crystal Lake. He sat in on drums for Hanabie when they were between full-time drummers.)

Nice reaction mate 🔥🤘🦊🤘🔥 It's OK to badly mimic their dances moves. 💥🎸🥁 🎸💥

What about discovering something different? Lord of the Lost Lord of the Lost are a German „genre fluid“ band. Dark rock meets goth meets glam metal meets synths including a perfect mixture of clean and harsh vocals down to growls. They are a rabbit hole to discover with a huge range within their music including three songs with classic instrumentation (The Song), synth driven songs or pure metal heaviness. Their singer Chris Harms changes between beautiful clear, dark singing and grunts&growls. They have supported Iron Maiden as“Special Guest“ twice across Europe in 2022 and 2023! A suggestion to get more into their music is „Under the sun“: czcams.com/video/O9t8ViSAr70/video.html Or what about „The Gospel of Judas“: czcams.com/video/iUCbQ1rKOUg/video.html My third suggestion is „Priest“ czcams.com/video/xL3pC-_p4Bk/video.html I just love this band and the boys themselves. They are so cool, crazy, kind and friendly. I did shoot them several times as concert photographer including backstage documentaries. Great musicians and great people. Some more suggestions out of so many great songs: "Raining Stars": Beautiful synth driven „Full Metal Whore“: Heavy, Heavier, … „A Splintered Mind“: Acoustic version incl. classic instrumentation „Loreley“: Their most popular song "Ruins": Heavy

Would love to see you check out Babymetal’s “Akatsuki” live at budokan in 2021. There’s a great video of it on the “For the Fox God” CZcams channel. One of the most powerful live performances I’ve ever seen

Can you listen to 200 stab wounds "tow rope around the throat"

Like an express train coming towards you and hits you twice as hard but ends up with a smile on your face 😁 instead of bits of you all over the place 🤣 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOA ❤️ 🎂🍸🍔

So, while everyone else sends you further down the Foxhole, with fantastic reason, I'll recommend my favourite Japanese band, Dir En Grey. They've been around with the same members since '97, and all of them bar one were in ANOTHER band back to about '95? They're another band who are impossible to nail down to a single genre. Prog Rock/Metal is probably closest but also utterly incorrect. They are performers as much as BABYMETAL. Though, it might be more accurate to say the lead singer, Kyo is. I think the only best choice to start with to give an idea is Vinushka. The top results for the song on CZcams are live. Watch those because Kyo's vocals are.. fucking insane. His range is ABSURD.

I'm smart enough not to say I don't like this song in a forum occupied by my fellow Babymetal fans so instead I will say I like it just as much as Iine! but less than all their other songs. I don't even love ALL Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and AC/DC songs, so there is that. 😂

Great reaction. This video is a mixture of footage from their concerts at the Forum in LA in October 2019 (octagonal stage) and Osaka Jo Hall in Japan in November 2019 (big triangular stage) and, as you thought, it had the studio audio dubbed on top of the live footage. The rap (Madonna Vogue?) part was Moametal. Guest feature on this track was, as you know, Tak Matsumoto. He is the founder and guitarist with Japan's biggest ever (by a very long way apparently) selling band B'z and getting him to collaborate was a really big deal for them - of course he provided the guitar solo.🎸 As you are finding, each song is different to the last ... I'm not a fan of dance music like this by any stretch of the imagination (it was impossible to avoid when I was in my late teens, much as I tried) but somehow they make it so much better and, while it will never be my favourite BABYMETAL song, I can enjoy it (and my younger self wouldn't have thought that could ever happen).

👍👍Great performance and reaction. 🦊 🖖❤

From Dusk till Dawn is an amazing song. Su’s range is incredible.

Confusion is the reaction we're looking for for a first reaction to Hanabie. IMO They're like Babymetal in that all their songs are amazing.

I love Da Da Dance so much, it's so underrated! Thank you for reacting to it, it's such a fun song! ❤❤

This song is enjoyed more when you know BABYMETAL completely, it is understandable that you find it different, that is why people do not usually recommend this song too much to those who are embarking on the journey of getting to know the band's music. Although that doesn't mean it's a bad song, quite the opposite. :)

Happy Birthday Moa🎉🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂

One of the great things about Babymetal is that they continuously leave you going "Not what I expected, but I like it!", no matter how much of their stuff you listen to.

BM is by far my favorite band, love getting to watch you react to them, this one doesn't come up often. up down left right BBAB is another that doesn't come up often, they never performed it live, definite video game feel to it though. Not suggesting it (I love their live performances too much) but if you want a really odd BM song check it out.

They experiment quite a bit, so not every fan will like every song. If you want total stylistic whiplash, do "Iine". I recommend the "LIVE LEGEND 1997" version, but the MV is also great, and I believe there is a newer version with english subs on YT as well.

Tak Matsumoto is "best known as the guitarist and main composer of the rock duo B'z, the best-selling music act in their native Japan " since 1988 they've been in the charts. If you remember acts like: 2 Unlimited who make electronic Eurobeat music in the 90s or something, at the time this music also came to Japan and some groups in Japan tried to make similar music and Tak Matsumoto was the one who made guitar music for such groups in Japan.

Sonisphere 2014, their first big performance outside of Asia, also known has the miracle of Sonisphere, they absolutely won the crowd over. Also Megitsune is quintessential BM and a lot heavier than Da da dance.

Welcome back to the Foxhole. First of all, happy birthday MoaMetal, our angel of love.🥳🎉🎂🐨 You can see BM tried to make a disco metal (?) song even years before RATATATA, although this one didn't hit so much among fans. At least they still show they weren't here doing the same thing and always bringing something different to enjoy. There's a short song intro which is played prior to this song usually at live concerts and is also part of the Light Side of the Metal Galaxy album called "Future Metal". This song marks the route of the entire 3rd BabyMetal album, you can notice BabyMetal grew up a lot. Tak Matsumoto (B'z guitarist and founder) is the special guest guitar on the album version, he's doing the short guitar solo section. Song is inspired in Juliana's Tokyo 90's movement and sound, more like a mix of Hi-NRG, eurobeat and Jpop, rather than edm or rave, Tak Matsumoto was one of the first introducing guitar elements back then in these types of songs. Of course SuMetal and the girls aren't afraid to try something new and they did it like a boss, or more like a queen and princess. In this case you're watching an official live compilation, but no live sound (instead they're using the usual studio album sound) from two live shows in 2019, LA Forum and Metal Galaxy World Tour in Japan 2019, and one of the avenger is Riho Sayashi, she currently have her own solo career, the other one is Momoko Okazaki, now MomoMetal. Kami Band after 2019 are wearing masks, during the LA Forum it was Western Kami Band playing. Last time they played this song was at Legend MM MomoMetal's 21 Birthday in March. Thanks for sharing this, see you next time and as always put your kitsune up!🦊🤘🕺

Unless and official video has Live in the title, it is always studio. Live is definitely worth checking out as live is always heavier, and just better overall. The only live version on YT currently are a couple compilations, and there is a new live version of this song on the upcoming Legend MM concerts which release on Blu-ray next week.

Hmmm you skipped all of the great BABYMETAL recommendations and went with Da Da Dance?

All hail the fox god

judging by your videos on your channel, its a lot of japanese metal you get suggested, i have some more. Aldious - all-female power/pop metal band, currently without a vocalist, suggested song: White Crow Band-Maid - japanese all-female rock band (note, rock band, not metal band per se), suggested song: Influencer.

(Raubtier) and Einherjer (Hulkoff) i could probably suggest even more if i wanted to spend more than 30 minutes trying to come up with more to suggest

band Maid a must

Next, BAND-MAID! PO!

My favourite collaboration is the one with Bring Me The Horizon: Kingslayer.

Hanabie is certainly one of the hottest exports from the Land of the Rising Sun in recent years. And the comparison with Electric Callboy is not so far-fetched, as they have a lot in common. They're damn serious and good musicians who don't take themselves too seriously and for whom genre boundaries are very flexible or simply don't exist. 🤭 For some time now, I've been thinking that these two bands could do a tour together and that one or two brilliant collaborations might be the result. We Love Sweets have already been mentioned here a few times, and I can only second the recommendation if you want to see more of these tiny yet damn great ladies. 🔥🤘🏻 Believe me, when it comes to good rock and metal music, Japan is Pandora's box. :) 👇🏻 Greetings from Germany. _____________________ _"America invented rock. England improved it. And now, Japan has perfected it."_ ※ Band-Maid ※ Gacharic Spin ※ Lovebites ※ Nemophila ※ East of Eden ※ Hanabie ※ Asterism ※ Trident ※ Hades ※ Nek! ※ etc.

There is now a huge movement of Japanese rock and metal, and also pop music, into the West. The already mentioned Atarashii-Gakko were the headliners of Coachella this year. Hanabiye is currently on a big world tour (they are signed by the Sony Music label), and they are making a unique metalcore genre. Band-Maid and Lovebytes are also actively touring now and they have many collaborations with Western groups. heavy metal band Bridear recorded an album with Swedish producer Arch-Enemy

to give you a new music recommendation..... go and listen to Lisa's new Solo Song "Rockstar"

love the Japanese metal scene, very chaotic and fun and not scared to blend everything and anything into their sound. Lovebites still my favourite with their take on power metal/thrash blend but love these guys and the whole scene as well though only caught Lovebites and Babymetal live as yet. I am a 53 year old Scottish metalhead and many of my old school friends just wont even check this stuff out, their loss.

Subscribe :) cos you took our recommendation to see live :D but this is really rare and MV is absolute fire :D BUT if you ever do BM again, be sure to keep react to live :) btw. your feelings are truly from your heart, we had them all as well. Exactly, dance or headbang, wtf, wth :D what am I watching ect. This is so funny but it works perfect. Keep up :) edit: and one more thing, I´ve always understood their songs fully after 2-3 listenings, there is a lot of happening to catch it for the first ;)

Draugrath - Resurrection

they a metalcore band

Yeah, there is so much more to Japanese metal, and Japanese female metal and metalcore bands, than just Babymetal. A lot of people get into Japanese metal via Babymetal, but not everyone likes the same bands. Don't worry about the genres: just go with it. The best Japanese bands tend not to care about conforming to labels and genre categories. This is one of Hanabie's lighter tracks. Yukina does the cute, squeaky voice and the growls: Matsuri, the guitarist, does the main melodic vocals. Bass is Hettsu and drums is Chika. Other outstanding Japanese women making great metal and rock music: Nemophila, Band-Maid, Aldious, Lovebites, Gacharic Spin, Trident, Bridear, KOIAI. Those should get you started properly.

You look like Bryan Danielson

"What genre is this?", asks every new reactor. The answer is, "yes". The more precise answer is _Harajukucore._ This is the label Hanabie have adopted to describe their sound which is a mix of metal, punk, electronic, rock, pop, rap, and occasionally traditional Japanese music and instruments. The name comes from the Harajuku district in Tokyo which is famous for its trendsetting street fashion, music and art scene. You can definitely see and hear those influences in the video. All the women in the video are "gals" or "gyaru". The older style has big hair, deep tans and with long nails, dressed in bright colors, while the newer style are a more conservative version, less flamboyant. Hanabie are Matsuri - guitar, vocals, compositions. Yukina - clean and harsh vocals. Hettsu - bass and chorus. Chika - drums. Here's a link to a great 10-minute interview with the band while they were in Connecticut touring North America - czcams.com/video/PCWYQ31Es2U/video.htmlsi=-OsqfvsAQA2WQhk4 A few song recommendations for you - We Love Sweets', 'Be the GAL - early summer ver.', 'NEET GAME', 'Envy', 'Tousou' (run away), and 'GIRLS NIGHT' being the newest. Thanks for reacting to Hanabie ❄🌸

HA! Your reaction was pretty similar to mine when I first heard them. I wasn't really sure what I was hearing, but, I knew I really liked it.

Yukina is a 149cm vocal powerhouse!

Yeah, Germans and Japanese collaborations are all fun and games until someone invades France...

The most brutal songs may be WE LOVE SWEETS and TOUSOU. Her growl in these songs are really bestial. I'm glad to hear you mentioning the clear tone of the guitar solo.

for a first time reaction from hanabie i was expecting disgust face since the guy recommend the most least to recommend for a heavy metal head but turns out im wrong :D , anyway they have maybe 7-9 music video if ever yo want to react more my favorite from is reiwa dating apps generation
