Beautiful. Yes if you see "unfinished version" in the title of a BABYMETAL song it means it is the acoustic version - just Su accompanied by piano and strings in this instance. As far as I'm aware this is the only time she did 'Akatsuki' unfinished version - it was at Legend 1997, so the day after her 16th birthday and despite her age she was able to give such an emotional performance. This is the full version (you will find how a drum cover is possible and I suspect you will enjoy the guitar duet too) from Budokan Red Night czcams.com/video/T0XNgqERMrc/video.html (I wonder if this is blocked in the US as most reactions are from the Budokan Black Night version which also has 10 times the number of views) czcams.com/video/g2372C5PJLM/video.html Possibly the best version (of the ones I can find) from Wembley Arena in 2016 vimeo.com/359946056 This is an even earlier version from Legend 1999 in 2013 czcams.com/video/LXlEsvEZlEI/video.html or an even earlier one from Legend Z in 2012 (No Kami Band in this one, the Babybones guys were on stage miming to a backing track, but Su fights 'Evil Su' during the guitar break) czcams.com/video/uv-WnoTd1wE/video.html
This version is special. In fact this is the song which made me realise that I had a special connection with Babymetal unlike the million other bands and singers I have heard. No other singer apart from Su would have been able to create such an emotion within me, and I am sure, for the many onion ninjas out there.
I'm a 55 year old ex Army dude, yet each time Su drops to her knees after standing up, tears come unbidden to my eyes EVERY time. When you hear the crowd start to applaud is when normally the song picks up into full on Su-Metal mode, the crowd must have thought Whaaaaat then Awwwwwwwwwwwww
With you on that one everytime when hear her sing the emotional one's and chills and goosebumps every other time , mind you i cried when lassie cut his paw as well . 🤘😢🤘
This is the most raw BABYMETAL performance. Absolutely heart wrenching. The regular version has amazing guitars, so you should treat that as another song. It's amazing in a different way.
Actually, as I understand it the idea was it would be a good fit for the show, he asked her: can you do this ? She said, I'll give it a try. And it sounded great, so they went with it. LOL
Love this version so much for the emotion Su puts into it.. I love the other version too.... Just shows how a song can be completely changed by a different arrangement.
"Shining in the depths of your eyes the moon is about to cry. Red tears overflow and dye the night sky. In the silence the two damaged blades stand face to face. Our loneliness and our uneasiness slash even our hearts. Going over thousands of nights some love shall survive. So until my body perishes, until my life disappears, I shall keep on cherishing this love." Your pronunciation of "Akatsuki" is spot on: a-cat-ski. This version of the song makes me cry every time.... It's unfinished because the normal version of this song is straight up metal and this version just has the piano accompaniment. I think the best live version of the normal version on youtube is from Budokan Black Night in 2014 here: czcams.com/video/g2372C5PJLM/video.html
Yes really pulls at the heart strings . Do not know if it was this song or another but in one of Su solos they said to Su to help her to get the emotion. "Imagine being without Yui and Moa" if it was this song it definitely worked .🤘😭🤘
⚡ / 🔴 🌙 I prefer the heavier version with drums and guitars, but I'm not about to knock this one. It's a beautiful and emotional performance. Seeing her Budokan solos of 'Akatsuki' and 'Rondo of Nightmare' made me a die-hard fan for life. Here's the Budokan Black Night performance: czcams.com/video/DWRMx68jRCk/video.html
Yup, it's called "unfinished" because it doesn't have the Kamis playing their instruments. Here's the full version: czcams.com/video/g2372C5PJLM/video.html
Love your reaction, mate. But, lol, there is always a "but", you should try harder to pronounce the name of the songs... Japanese is fairly easy to pronounce, just say everything you see equally, don't try to "Englisize" it or to emphasize a syllable above others (like English does)... It's easy, really. Just remember that basically there are only 5 vowel sounds in Japanese: *AH* (as in fat) - *EE* (as in feet) - *OO* (as in fool) - *E* (as in get) and *OH* (as in go) (well, these are approximation, I'm no expert, just trying to give you an idea to help you along). So, with this song: AH-KA-TSU-KI... Just take your time the first few times and it will be easy...
@@Luniversed Good enough! The good news is that Japaneses is easier to pronounce than English (unbiased here, neither of those are my mother tongue), no screwed up things pronunciation like "enough", "though", "bough", etc. Just break the word down in syllables like I did with "A-ka-tsu-ki"... Kitsune up, Po!

So sad really... she puts her emotions into the song and then gets crucified by her band members.
@@autohmae Lol im dyin when i read your reply, great bro haha
@@autohmae sat at reception as guests going into breakfast and read your comment burst out laughing everyone thinks i am crazy .

Mikio was just amazing at Wembley...

Dave Cook
Right there with you 100%, Dave. When her voice kinda breaks at the end, it’s overwhelming.💪🏻🤘🏻
With you on that one everytime when hear her sing the emotional one's and chills and goosebumps every other time , mind you i cried when lassie cut his paw as well .
🤘😢🤘
She practices what she preaches: Don't think. Feel.
5:12 We can see a drop of tear on her cheek
SU's emotional dam burst
Our Queen Sumetal in ballad mode! So nice!
This is the most raw BABYMETAL performance. Absolutely heart wrenching. The regular version has amazing guitars, so you should treat that as another song. It's amazing in a different way.
Yesss bro i love this version of this song❤😍. You can't understan a word but you feel it in your soul😭
At this time the audience cried. After a while after the singing, a big applause came out!
I can see how proud of her the producer is by letting this acapella.
Actually, as I understand it the idea was it would be a good fit for the show, he asked her: can you do this ?
She said, I'll give it a try.
And it sounded great, so they went with it. LOL
The place where the voice is shaking in the last part is because the crying of the audience entered the eyes of Su!
Everytime I sit down to watch this one... my tears!!
Can't wait for BABYMETAL's unplugged greatest hits album.
Her voice and emotion really shines through in this version. I like both versions cause the energy they provide is both different and wonderful.
Love this version so much for the emotion Su puts into it.. I love the other version too.... Just shows how a song can be completely changed by a different arrangement.
she is like lacus clyne in real life... the world messenger ... 😭😭🦊🤘
Suzuka queen, voice angel
Always more BabyMetal forever! :)

I am really into babymetal 😊
oh....Im cry😭😭😭😭
I love this Video...so emotional
good reaction!
Yes, you must see the other version akatsuki at budokan black night.
Yes really pulls at the heart strings . Do not know if it was this song or another but in one of Su solos they said to Su to help her to get the emotion. "Imagine being without Yui and Moa" if it was this song it definitely worked .🤘😭🤘
Su-metal: "I'm in a band"
Someone else: "what instrument do you play ?"
Su-metal: "heart strings."
;-)
Your smile makes me happy☺️💕
Thank you for your nice reaction🤘🦊😊✨
This version is incredible, but I still prefer the original one.
Thanks for reacting to my favorite Babymetal song
