One thing Queen SU has said she learned from Metallica is there's a difference between who you are on stage and who you are off. She has perfected this. Why she can deliver a death stare and then be goofy as hell with the silliest smile off stage. Great reaction. 🤘🦊
Thanks for doing this reaction ! Scoopers was the newspaper club of Sakura Gakuin. Juonbu is the 'heavy music' club of Sakura Gakuin. 3:37 we can also see the very first version of the Babymetal logo. It doesn't have the wings for Su-metal, but the lightning bolt. 7:15 she always puts 110 % in her performance, so if you want Su-metal to look serious/stern, you get 110 % too ! :-) 8:00 both Ayaka and Airi are now pretty famous models and movie/series actresses in Japan. 8:25 Su-metal also wears heels on stage to accentuate the triangle even more. Those shoes with heels also don't have laces... 14:13 I think you missed Moa's answer: her mom, we all fear her more than the Fox God. ;-) 16:16 that journey is the most idol-like experience I think about Babymetal. 17:45 Yes, "Oh, Majinai" is a song you don't know yet. We have one pro-shot (which probably needs link&sync) and lots of fancams, obviously 1 or 2 are best. 20:15 it's because Su-metal is so amazing, you kind of honed in on her I think. 22:30 many fans were blown away, because this was the first video interview in years probably (the Yuimetal situation was part of that). 23:02 some of the Red Hot Chili Peppers (2017/2018) and Lady Gaga (2014) fans had a hard time figuring out what this opener Babymetal is. Nice big WTF effect. :-) 26:38 Yes, "Elevator Girl" is a song. It has a MV on the official channel.
The biggest attendance for their solo shows was at Tokyo Dome in 2016. They played two days back to back in front of 55k people each day. The song you didn't quite catch was "Oh Majinai! feat Joakim Broden (of Sabaton)". This song is a blast live, if you want to react to a proper version you have to upload it to your Google Drive. Yeah, I agree with you that the Metal Galaxy outfits are amazing, actually my favorites. You haven't done a reaction to "Elevator Girl" yet. There are two versions: a full english one and a half english/half japanese one. Like you said there is something special about them speaking japanese so most people prefer the half english/half japanese version. (too bad that only the full english version is on CZcams)
Su said that her favorite song on metal galaxy was Oh! Majinai ft. Joakim Broden (Sabaton)... It's a fun and weird song, some people don't like it, but i really love this song xD Su also said on the Kerrang Magazine that her album of the year is Sabaton's album, so i think she really love Joakim and Sabaton xD
I'll pile on and recommend also. Here is her graduation speech. czcams.com/video/spd_wnXv2l8/video.html ....and here is Moa's message to Su... czcams.com/video/x51ogGvlxro/video.html
The two "Scoopers" in the first video are Ayaka Miyoshi and Airi Matsui. Both are now famous models and actresses in Japan. Both girls are over 170cm tall. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Su, Moa, or Yui are ever going to catch up to them in height.
The interviewer from Loudwire , Graham , has done quite a few interviews with them . Check out his Wikipedia Fact or Fiction with them , it's pretty cute .
My very first "bias" if I'm being honest when discovering the band has been Su as well. As time goes by I just realized that I loved all three of them equally for everything that they brought/bring to the band. They're an amazing trio of girls who complement eachother to perfection. Yui the shy and cute quiet girl who's always aware of where the camera is. Moa's loving and caring personality with that wide open and contagious smile. Su's split personality between a complete stage goddess and a goofy simple girl who likes to talk and explains to you that she can't tie her own shoes. They're all adorable in their own way. But the first person you almost always notice is Su because she's literally front and center in BABYMETAL. Hence why you first singled her out like many others did and still do.
@@Zedem0n I liken it (as with Sakura Gakuin) to having a treasure chest full of priceless, precious gems. Just because one or two in particular might catch your attention at any given time, that doesn't mean the others aren't also precious and priceless. I know what you mean, but I really take my bias with tongue-in-cheek, anyway, and will not characterize any others as actually lesser. :)
Thanks for the always pleasant response. I feel that English songs and conversations are a secret ingredient while enjoying their native language. I enjoy them both. And I love your reaction.
Niiiiice one, thanks! And now you are halfway to the "dark side" of the Fox Hole. Su's graduation speeches and "Nendo Tests" and you are fully in ...and you will never ever get out of here :) See you! LOL
Hi, I love your Babymetal reactions, and this one in particular. A note about the Fox god: There actually is a fox spirit/god in Japanese culture. It started out as a sort of helper being, but over the centuries got sort of promoted to got status. Now, it's important to understand that the definition of a god in Japanese culture is somewhat different from ours, so it's not directly comparable, but there are many who genuinely believe in the Fox God. Another bit of trivia: In their preparations for the final invasion plans of the Japanese home islands at the end of WWII, they considered capturing Japanese foxes, dying them in luminous paint and releasing them into the wild again, the idea being to freak out the population.
I'm gonna echo the react to SG nendo tests and graduations especially Su's graduation. Also check out Mini Pati - Miracle Patiful Hamburger which is a sub unit of SG that featured Moa and Yui🖤
Su has such a prominent place and that awesome stage presence and those fantastic vocals, so she tends to be the one that everyone gets to know about first, and it takes a bit to really begin to appreciate Moa and (previously) Yui. As I'm a singer myself, I fully stan Su, but that doesn't diminish my love and appreciation for Moa! Even though BABYMETAL was built around Su, I still fully believe that BABYMETAL wouldn't be BABYMETAL if it didn't have/start with Yui and Moa as well. They (to me) are the ones that bring the kawaii part of Kawaii Metal and make BABYMETAL so much different and unique! Obviously Su is a part of that, but just from watching her solos you can see that without MoiMoi, she's (objectively...just objectively. I LOVE MY SU!) not much different from acts like Paramore, Evanescence, Flyleaf and a plethora of other female fronted metal/rock bands. For me, its Yui and Moa that make BABYMETAL. Su is obviously integral, but she alone wouldn't be BABYMETAL. So, its no wonder that Moa (and Yui) have come to be the favorites of many many of The One! Again, personally I completely love and fangurl over Su!!!! But I still very much love (and miss) Moa (and Yui)!!! Looking forward to more!!! Recommendations are for Oh Majinai!!! Lol and Elevator Girl (Japanese version)!! Kitsune dao! \m/
@@ccaz7403 The name is familiar, but I can't think of any titles to go along with it. It's possible that I have and just didn't know or care to find out who it was, but....now that you've pointed them out to me I'll give it a listen! Thanks!
OK, check out “Deja Vu”, “Piri”, and “Scream” - those are some of their hit lead singles. Also “Endless Night” and “No More” are singles they released in Japan, and they have a slightly harder rock sound than the others.
thanks for reacting to some of my suggestions! Biggest show yet was in TokyoDome. 110.000 fans over 2days. You should really watch that show! I maybe comment that in every video but you could do a reaction on twitch.
When I first discovered this band I instantly fell in love. The music was awesome and the girls were so cute and charming! I definitely started off with Su as my favorite, but over time I couldn't help but have my bias switch to Moametal (just a bit). She is so adorable and amazing!
Moa is living proof that a "smile that lights up a room" is a real thing. Plus she has that ability to make you think she's smiling at 'you', whether she actually is or not.
I really feel Suzuka sees an eventual future beyond Babymetal in a solo career in a similar vein as someone like Beyonce (who was already big with Destiny's Child, but became much bigger on her own)...and not just in Japan, but globally. She really could walk a similar road that artists like Hikaru Utada, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu and Puffy AmiYumi have walked where she'd have a solid backing in her home country but would still be nationally known and recognized as a solo artist. And part of that means being able to interview in English as well as sing in English. That's just me speculating. It's crazy how she's already done so much and is still only 23. She easily has 10 more "prime" years ahead of her and easily many more beyond that. I look forward to following her career for years to come.
I think suzuka is a great actress, she is so different on stage, mikiko metal their coreographer said suzuka personality is interesting, she is so bright and cheerfull. And for moa, it is easy to know her personality, she is cute and lovable person. I hope you add yui too on your wall, even now babymetal just su and moa, but babymetal is three girls. I just hope babymetal fans love all three girls, not just one or two, they are one, and we are the one
Su seems to always like the songs that include the most audience singalong, since Oh! Majinai was super easy to sing with and her favorite off Metal Resistence was Meta Taro which was similarly good for singalong. Moa always likes the ones with the easiest for audience participation like Pa Pa Ya and the towel swinging
The NME interview was early summer 2019 and the Loudwire interview was around September 2019 right before Metal Galaxy released. Su's english has taken on a bit of a twang when she speak now but her accuracy is amazing. Moa has improved greatly as well but she is surprisingly shy, i wouldn't exactly say self conscious more of just wanting to make sure her true feelings come across. There is also a second part to the Loudwire interview where they talk about what they would tell their younger selves czcams.com/video/xOrvgcL_LCQ/video.html&ab_channel=Loudwire
I'd love to see you do more Sakura Gakuin. All the members are just as lovable as the Babymetal girls, so there's a lot of heartwarming stuff just waiting for you.
Yes, they are all tiny. Su is like 5'1 (155cm) and the others around 4'10" or 11" (147-150cm). Sorry I don't do metric first. Biggest crowd for their concert was probably the Tokyo Dome around 50 or 55K. I imagine they've done festivals with more people but don't know those numbers.
I think I just smiled for 31 minutes and 35 seconds straight! Thanks for that! Excellent choice of interviews (I'd never seen the first one before so extra kudos for that) - we're always happy to watch Babymetal-related things as well as live performances. 17:38 Su says her fave song from the album is 'Oh Majinai!' (Oh Magic!) which has the lead lead singer of War Metal band Sabaton featuring on it. There's only fan cam available but the one with good audio and clear and steady video seems to be this one: czcams.com/video/avEdUi4kzj4/video.html . 'Elevator Girl' was the other song you wanted to see so here's the link to the official MV version sung in English: czcams.com/video/Q48bwxyqVpQ/video.html . They are releasing a 'Best of' album on 23rd December to celebrate 10 years of travelling the Earth and collecting souls and hearts...I mean performing as Babymetal. It will be titled '10 BABYMETAL Years' and has 10 songs, chosen by a poll last month via their fans on websites, and will be available in 10 different editions (I sense a theme here), including CD, Vinyl, Boxed limited editions with items such as 72 page book, collection of photos of their 'Battle Dresses' through the 10 years, a 15 song Blu-Ray of their videos and loads of other stuff that will inevitably sell out within minutes of release. Ah well, at least the CD should be easy to get. If I had a Bias Wall, it would consist of a huge picture of Moa with an only very slightly smaller (you'd need an electron microscope to measure the difference) photo of Su on one side and one of the same size of Miku from Band-Maid on the other. Kitsune up! 🦊🦊🦊🤘🤘
The Legend MG version of Oh! Majinai with the intro video is obviously the best, but not available on CZcams of course. There is a very good compilation of the best fan cams with remastered and balanced audio here czcams.com/video/G-n8DmEtiZA/video.html
@@Grington300 99 times out of a 100, I bow to your better links and more accurate info but, after taking a look at it, I have to disagree with you on this one. Just looked at the one in the link and it looks shaky and unfocussed in parts whereas the link I gave is from one performance, not a compilation, is in a very steady position at the front of the stage with no jostling and shaking and has very good sound. The other 99 times I agreed with you though!
@@tonygriffin_ That's fair. I agree the steady camera position on your link is very good, but the audio is quite muddy for me (especially the drums and instrumentals). I'm not usually a fan of compilations (for reactors), but I think that one has been done well and the audio is much clearer - for me at least (I may have unique ears, who knows?).
@@Grington300 Yeah, when I checked my link I have to agree that the sound was better in my left headphone than from the right so maybe we need to mix the sound from your link with the video from mine for the perfect video! Well, the main thing is that he now has two good choices, not one!
Pretty much any festival Babymetal goes to they take photos with other artists they've not met yet. Babymetal and Billie Eilish took a photo together at Glastonbury: external-preview.redd.it/V3QwWpTlk6riOVA6uenRo7Qnf1jtYl2kDsxrovvowGM.jpg?auto=webp&s=b51202064397fb51e808b21c16571d5d8874586e
This was fun. Delving into their past and seeing how they have grown and matured over the years, but still remained so unspoiled, humble and polite is always interesting. For 'Oh! Majinai' the very best version is not on CZcams, so a reaction on your Google Drive for that would be the only way to do it. There is a very good compilation from Europe 2020 that is here on CZcams that you could use instead czcams.com/video/G-n8DmEtiZA/video.html
Grington300 300 how could you??? ;) Please don't do the fan cam. I know sound is from the LMG show but he needs to see complete LMG performance with intro.
@@sumoayui463 Haha, you know I agree entirely that the LMG performance is the one to is the one to see of course (but I think you have assumed I've recommended the horrible fancam from LMG - I would never do that. The link I posted is to a reworked compilation of fan cams from the 2020 European tour).
@@Grington300 Actually I saw that you linked the EU version. For a fancam it's good I agree but fancam is fancam. Just for Su's big smiles - you can literally see on her face that Oh Majinai is her favorite song - It's worth it to use GoogleDrive and watch the official version.❤️❤️
Since you've joined the Moa Gang, check iout Moa's special solo song, "Love Machine": czcams.com/video/LpRxI3gYoTg/video.html Also, you mentioned their whispering, they have a Black BABYMETAL song where Moa and Yui whisper like half the song.
Good choice of interviews. I can see that both you and i really miss Yui. Try "Oh, Majinai" and i feel like home as you will see and hear Joakim Brodén, the singer of the swedish band Sabaton. 🤘🦊❤😊Stay home, stay safe, stay metal!
The subunits: Scoopers, Twinklestars, Pastel Wind, Mini-Pati, Sleepiece, Babymetal, Logica, Pro-Wrestling Circle, Koubaibu, Art Performance Unit trico dolls. You should try post 2014 Sakura Gakuin too. I highly recommend my favourite SG song, Mathematica. As a Kpop stan I think you'll like the music video and song.
For the record Su is 5'1" and Moa is 5' maybe. They have spoke English for quite some, they spoke English on a video from 2016 on FBE. I'm with you as to bias for Moa, she was a cutie and now she is a beautiful young woman. I love her voice when she speaks English, the tone and accent. Today Su and Moa have a lot of creative input into their songs/performances. Su, of course has input into the lyrics after all she's the singing them. Moa with Su creates the main dance steps for the songs now. Finishing up with Mikikometal, their choreographer. I love their interviews, but they never give much away, Kobametal taught them well.
You can be Yui biased as well as Su and Moa i do there all awesome, but when Su go's full Goddess there is only one Goddess 🤘🦊🤘🔥❤❤❤ Ps got my BabyMetal key rings they are great ❤
Now that you have fully acknowledged your Moa bias you really must see the rest of the Loudwire interview. Please see Melodic Bunny's comment for the link. Yes, please do as a reaction vid (include in an Interviews part 2?) of the rest of the Loudwire interview. Graham did a fantastic job of conversing with them in English.
The funny thing about the Fox God thing, is that there are actual religious sects in Japan that do worship foxes, and have for a long time. There are shrines in Japan here they go to worship the Fox God., and have pretty cool fox statues in and around them.
⚡ 💀 💕 / 🎙 It's always going to be Su for me, because of the singing, but Moa is a solid bias choice. She's thoroughly charming. If you like Moa's voice, you might want to hear the introduction she narrated for the LEGEND M concerts: czcams.com/video/pJvO_xtbm40/video.html These two shows in her home prefecture of Aichi celebrated her 20th birthday.
@@rickwagner- haha, that's some deadly charm. She could tell me straight up she's going to kill me in my sleep and all I'd picture is a basket full of kittens.
Really interesting to see how they evolve over the years. There is a video of the english version of Elevator Girl on the Babymetal channel, but personally I prefer the japanese version.
I'd give u hint on the Shanti reaction that Moa was in progress to be add to the Wall of bias :-), Su and Moa are cute and badass at same time, babymetal are out of this world imo ❤️
Su's my bias, but actually I really love the girls fully, I love them individually and I love them together specially. I also like the kami band alot. I think I like SuMoaYui, Su may be my bias, but I like the 3 of them, so if I am going to choose, I would choose SuMoaYui altogether cause I love them😊.
Good stuff! I absolutely love the interviews. The Nendo tests are a must! Same with the graduation stuff. Moa's speech, Su's graduation toss and Su's graduation surprise kill me but I can't not watch them. Kitsune up! 🤘🦊🤘
He's done the live graduation toss from when Su graduated. I linked he speech and Moa's message in my comment. I'd like to see him do the surprise appreciation party too. You can't watch them why? I'm guess cause they're all tear jerkers?
For the English/Japanese. You probably already know that English is a very difficult language for Japanese people to learn and speak. Su has already a rather decent grasp of it, but you see she is searching for words and correcting herself. In my opinion it really shows her dedication that she has taken it on herself to speak English as much as possible.
Just to add: I don't know if you're familiar with a Peter Sellers audio skit which has him playing a typical pop star of the day (1960s). The way the girls answer when speaking English reminds me of the cadence used by Sellers - "Someday, I hope to play the Old Vic in Shakespeare...": czcams.com/video/82dRwzQSgr8/video.html starting at 3:48.
I feel like you'd really enjoy some of the sakura gakuin stuff like the nendo test videos with subtitles, but thats WAY down the "foxhole" so to speak to the point its beyond the foxhole
If you can please, pretty please. React to some Sakura Gakuin alumni's music. I suggest you react to Ayami Muto; she was the 1st class president of SG (leader) for 2 years. She and Su were both from the group Karen Girl's. This is her music, she just release her new song Betty, here's the link: czcams.com/video/SlJ7P_OG654/video.html I bet you will love her music, it suits your style!
Those subtitles during the NME are kinda bogus from what I remember after seeing comments under that video. Anyway, do you see yourself watching a full show at some point? That would be awesome to watch.
I adore Moa and Su trying to speak english for their foreign fans. People can smile and laugh at their tries but I doubt most of them can even speak a little bit of Japanese.
Hi Gabby! 😊 That’s absolutely fine! If you’re busy then I completely understand that 😊 it’s more important to me that you look after yourself and you’re healthy than watching my vids. You can do that whenever you’re able to 😊 Hope you’re doing well, jobs are great but don’t let them affect your health, they’re never worth that ❤️
@@gabbysantos2405 I feel for you ❤️ i don’t know if it would help at all really but if you ever need something to chat to or just vent at bit, feel free to DM or get in touch 😊 I’m more than willing to help and support if I can ❤️
Omg. That's golden! Marina is one of my favorites cause she's such a goofball. They did everything including the 'see you'. Fantastic stuff. Thanks for sharing that.
Su is 5’ 1” and probably won’t grow anymore (23 next month). Moa and Riho are just short of 5’ and Kano is shorter still. Momoko is taller than Su. They are shorter than the Japanese average. For crowds - biggest in Japan - 55,000, though most were much less - quite a few at 20,000. I am unsure how many stopped to look and listen at Glastonbury 2019. Kitsune - the Fox God is quite important in the Shinto Pantheon, but belief in a particular god is not prerequisite I. Dipping in and out of Shinto and Buddhist practices, as most Japanese people do. BM’s early single - Megitsune (vixen) was blessed in a Shinto ceremony attended by the girls. Modern day BM are a little tongue in cheek with ‘Only the Fox God Knows’
From one Shaun to another, Moa is an absolute goddess and anybody that says otherwise is WRONG!!! And Su's laugh at 14:19 is just so adorable, and yes Moa's look at 23:56 is just gorgeous. However I still don't get what's so great about Billie Eilish, she does nothing for me (musically) whatsoever.
I know a lot of people who feel the same about Billie, I will say though, once it clicks with her, you're hooked, and there's no turning back....😁 P.S- Great name! 👍😎
Hmmm probably no one recommended you Elevator Girl because it is one of their worst songs. On Oh! Majinai! (Su's favorite song from this album according to this interview), we didn't give it to you because it does not have a good video on CZcams (just compilations). I find it is a really fun one, one of my favorites of Metal Galaxy. Is this one if you are interested in checking it: vimeo.com/456370194 That answer about the Yui departure seems pretty scripted, Koba surely told them what to say when someone asked.
Babymetal was born in 2010 and died in 2017, Su and Moa no longer represent the spirit of the band, they are simply two puppets of a record company that is only interested in making money. Both Kobametal and Su/Moa were selfish and ungrateful to Yui. They don't mind changing the concept of the band and that's why many fans stopped following Babymetal, now they look so ridiculous that they are going to change their name to Grannymetal xD
Su is so dam cute when she speaks English. Her facial expressions when she is searching for the right words is adorable.
Agreed. But on stage she's an absolute Queen. Loving the contrast between Suzuka and Su Metal. They are like two different person lol.
One thing Queen SU has said she learned from Metallica is there's a difference between who you are on stage and who you are off. She has perfected this. Why she can deliver a death stare and then be goofy as hell with the silliest smile off stage. Great reaction. 🤘🦊
Yes, Suzaka and Su-Metal are two different people.

8:25 Su-metal also wears heels on stage to accentuate the triangle even more. Those shoes with heels also don't have laces...
14:13 I think you missed Moa's answer: her mom, we all fear her more than the Fox God. ;-)
16:16 that journey is the most idol-like experience I think about Babymetal.
17:45 Yes, "Oh, Majinai" is a song you don't know yet. We have one pro-shot (which probably needs link&sync) and lots of fancams, obviously 1 or 2 are best.
20:15 it's because Su-metal is so amazing, you kind of honed in on her I think.
22:30 many fans were blown away, because this was the first video interview in years probably (the Yuimetal situation was part of that).

The interviews by Graham from loudwire are intresting, because he has interviewed them a lot, he has seen them grow as well.

Hi, I love your Babymetal reactions, and this one in particular. A note about the Fox god: There actually is a fox spirit/god in Japanese culture. It started out as a sort of helper being, but over the centuries got sort of promoted to got status. Now, it's important to understand that the definition of a god in Japanese culture is somewhat different from ours, so it's not directly comparable, but there are many who genuinely believe in the Fox God.
Another bit of trivia: In their preparations for the final invasion plans of the Japanese home islands at the end of WWII, they considered capturing Japanese foxes, dying them in luminous paint and releasing them into the wild again, the idea being to freak out the population.
Looks like I've got myself a new religion! 😁🦊
I'm gonna echo the react to SG nendo tests and graduations especially Su's graduation. Also check out Mini Pati - Miracle Patiful Hamburger which is a sub unit of SG that featured Moa and Yui🖤
Su has such a prominent place and that awesome stage presence and those fantastic vocals, so she tends to be the one that everyone gets to know about first, and it takes a bit to really begin to appreciate Moa and (previously) Yui. As I'm a singer myself, I fully stan Su, but that doesn't diminish my love and appreciation for Moa! Even though BABYMETAL was built around Su, I still fully believe that BABYMETAL wouldn't be BABYMETAL if it didn't have/start with Yui and Moa as well. They (to me) are the ones that bring the kawaii part of Kawaii Metal and make BABYMETAL so much different and unique! Obviously Su is a part of that, but just from watching her solos you can see that without MoiMoi, she's (objectively...just objectively. I LOVE MY SU!) not much different from acts like Paramore, Evanescence, Flyleaf and a plethora of other female fronted metal/rock bands. For me, its Yui and Moa that make BABYMETAL. Su is obviously integral, but she alone wouldn't be BABYMETAL. So, its no wonder that Moa (and Yui) have come to be the favorites of many many of The One! Again, personally I completely love and fangurl over Su!!!! But I still very much love (and miss) Moa (and Yui)!!!
Looking forward to more!!! Recommendations are for Oh Majinai!!! Lol and Elevator Girl (Japanese version)!!
Kitsune dao! \m/
Saundra, do you listen to Dreamcatcher? They are a girl group who mostly do rock songs. The main vocalist reminds me of Hayley.
@@ccaz7403 The name is familiar, but I can't think of any titles to go along with it. It's possible that I have and just didn't know or care to find out who it was, but....now that you've pointed them out to me I'll give it a listen! Thanks!
They have some good songs - let me know if you want some rec’s.
@@ccaz7403 sure! What ya got for me?
OK, check out “Deja Vu”, “Piri”, and “Scream” - those are some of their hit lead singles. Also “Endless Night” and “No More” are singles they released in Japan, and they have a slightly harder rock sound than the others.
Winning over crowds is basically what Babymetal does at this point.
thanks for reacting to some of my suggestions! Biggest show yet was in TokyoDome. 110.000 fans over 2days. You should really watch that show! I maybe comment that in every video but you could do a reaction on twitch.
Moa for president
When I first discovered this band I instantly fell in love. The music was awesome and the girls were so cute and charming! I definitely started off with Su as my favorite, but over time I couldn't help but have my bias switch to Moametal (just a bit). She is so adorable and amazing!
That was very cool, thanks. I didn't know the first interview - the three of them were really cute in there, so kawaii it almost hurts. :-))
Good stuff. I've seen all of those interviews. I liked the Nylon one the best. If you look closely, Yui was dosing off a couple of times.
Have you see the fan edited video from an other interview: Yuimetal lost in meditation ? :-)
@@autohmae I like compilation of 'Yui staring into your soul' also. lol
@@jamesmcclung153 their are multiple Yui staring contest videos I think :-)
@@autohmae Very true. I think I've seen just about all of them.
Yes i think he done a great job in that interview 🤘🦊🤘
As a mid aged male... I can't deal with Moa-metal.. she's stole my heart and my soul.
Moa is living proof that a "smile that lights up a room" is a real thing. Plus she has that ability to make you think she's smiling at 'you', whether she actually is or not.
16:21 It's like watching back videos of favourite nieces growing up.
I really feel Suzuka sees an eventual future beyond Babymetal in a solo career in a similar vein as someone like Beyonce (who was already big with Destiny's Child, but became much bigger on her own)...and not just in Japan, but globally. She really could walk a similar road that artists like Hikaru Utada, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu and Puffy AmiYumi have walked where she'd have a solid backing in her home country but would still be nationally known and recognized as a solo artist. And part of that means being able to interview in English as well as sing in English.
That's just me speculating. It's crazy how she's already done so much and is still only 23. She easily has 10 more "prime" years ahead of her and easily many more beyond that. I look forward to following her career for years to come.
21:10 You & me both, brother. lol
I think Moa simply has the most perfect smile ever. And it's always genuine, because that kind of a smile is just unfakeable.
How could anyone not fall in love with Moa?? Just everything about her!
I think suzuka is a great actress, she is so different on stage, mikiko metal their coreographer said suzuka personality is interesting, she is so bright and cheerfull. And for moa, it is easy to know her personality, she is cute and lovable person. I hope you add yui too on your wall, even now babymetal just su and moa, but babymetal is three girls. I just hope babymetal fans love all three girls, not just one or two, they are one, and we are the one
Su seems to always like the songs that include the most audience singalong, since Oh! Majinai was super easy to sing with and her favorite off Metal Resistence was Meta Taro which was similarly good for singalong. Moa always likes the ones with the easiest for audience participation like Pa Pa Ya and the towel swinging
22:53 I find it funny how Su was intimidated by the audience at metal festivals at first, but now she's nervous at a general music festival.
Yeah but Babymetal don't naturally fit in no matter where they go so I can understand a little anxiety.
@@jeffschreifels8651 I guess that's also a big reason why it was hard for them to attract fans at first.
@@cookiesncrime333 i think you're right. Honestly, I'm glad they don't fit in. If they did, they wouldn't be nearly as interesting and fun.
One thing that i love about babymetal is that they are literaly babies out of the stage ♡
The NME interview was early summer 2019 and the Loudwire interview was around September 2019 right before Metal Galaxy released. Su's english has taken on a bit of a twang when she speak now but her accuracy is amazing. Moa has improved greatly as well but she is surprisingly shy, i wouldn't exactly say self conscious more of just wanting to make sure her true feelings come across.
There is also a second part to the Loudwire interview where they talk about what they would tell their younger selves czcams.com/video/xOrvgcL_LCQ/video.html&ab_channel=Loudwire
Would so love to see a reaction to the rest of that interview. Graham did such a great job conversing with them in English.
I put Moa in the "vertically challenged badass" category with IZ*One's Yabuki Nako.
I'd love to see you do more Sakura Gakuin. All the members are just as lovable as the Babymetal girls, so there's a lot of heartwarming stuff just waiting for you.
Absolutely. Everyone stops at when Moa and Yui graduated. They're missing out on so much good stuff.
@@scottianson5133 exactly, they don’t get to see the forces of nature that are Aiko, KYG, Momoe and Yume. They are totally missing out.
@@1991jwp Yume and Aiko are my favorites. But he's missing out on the burikko princess Momoe. So much cool stuff.
I adore moa. The smile, the dimples, the way her eyes close when she smiles ... oh be still my ❤
Yui's voice make me relax so cute you know
Yes, they are all tiny. Su is like 5'1 (155cm) and the others around 4'10" or 11" (147-150cm). Sorry I don't do metric first.
Biggest crowd for their concert was probably the Tokyo Dome around 50 or 55K. I imagine they've done festivals with more people but don't know those numbers.
I loved this! This was fun! Yeah, I got on the Moa train late too.
This is fun, and I haven’t seen any of the interviews, thanks for sharing!
Elevator Girl - You must try to find the Japanese version - as the rhythm of the chorus in the English version sounds wrong.
I share your bias. Moa has grown into grace personified.
I think I just smiled for 31 minutes and 35 seconds straight! Thanks for that! Excellent choice of interviews (I'd never seen the first one before so extra kudos for that) - we're always happy to watch Babymetal-related things as well as live performances. 17:38 Su says her fave song from the album is 'Oh Majinai!' (Oh Magic!) which has the lead lead singer of War Metal band Sabaton featuring on it. There's only fan cam available but the one with good audio and clear and steady video seems to be this one: czcams.com/video/avEdUi4kzj4/video.html . 'Elevator Girl' was the other song you wanted to see so here's the link to the official MV version sung in English: czcams.com/video/Q48bwxyqVpQ/video.html . They are releasing a 'Best of' album on 23rd December to celebrate 10 years of travelling the Earth and collecting souls and hearts...I mean performing as Babymetal. It will be titled '10 BABYMETAL Years' and has 10 songs, chosen by a poll last month via their fans on websites, and will be available in 10 different editions (I sense a theme here), including CD, Vinyl, Boxed limited editions with items such as 72 page book, collection of photos of their 'Battle Dresses' through the 10 years, a 15 song Blu-Ray of their videos and loads of other stuff that will inevitably sell out within minutes of release. Ah well, at least the CD should be easy to get. If I had a Bias Wall, it would consist of a huge picture of Moa with an only very slightly smaller (you'd need an electron microscope to measure the difference) photo of Su on one side and one of the same size of Miku from Band-Maid on the other. Kitsune up! 🦊🦊🦊🤘🤘
The Legend MG version of Oh! Majinai with the intro video is obviously the best, but not available on CZcams of course. There is a very good compilation of the best fan cams with remastered and balanced audio here czcams.com/video/G-n8DmEtiZA/video.html
@@Grington300 99 times out of a 100, I bow to your better links and more accurate info but, after taking a look at it, I have to disagree with you on this one. Just looked at the one in the link and it looks shaky and unfocussed in parts whereas the link I gave is from one performance, not a compilation, is in a very steady position at the front of the stage with no jostling and shaking and has very good sound. The other 99 times I agreed with you though!
@@tonygriffin_ That's fair. I agree the steady camera position on your link is very good, but the audio is quite muddy for me (especially the drums and instrumentals). I'm not usually a fan of compilations (for reactors), but I think that one has been done well and the audio is much clearer - for me at least (I may have unique ears, who knows?).
@@Grington300 Yeah, when I checked my link I have to agree that the sound was better in my left headphone than from the right so maybe we need to mix the sound from your link with the video from mine for the perfect video! Well, the main thing is that he now has two good choices, not one!
@@tonygriffin_ Ideally he'll use the official version from LMG and put it on Google Drive - this all becomes academic at that stage.
You should listen to Su's English in the Songs for Tokyo interview. I think that is their most recent.
Pretty much any festival Babymetal goes to they take photos with other artists they've not met yet. Babymetal and Billie Eilish took a photo together at Glastonbury:

This pic makes my heart so happy... 😲💚🦊
@@britkpopreacts Billie doesn't look that happy ;-)
The songs you asked about were Oh Majinai and Elevator Girl. Both have good videos online.
This was fun. Delving into their past and seeing how they have grown and matured over the years, but still remained so unspoiled, humble and polite is always interesting.
For 'Oh! Majinai' the very best version is not on CZcams, so a reaction on your Google Drive for that would be the only way to do it. There is a very good compilation from Europe 2020 that is here on CZcams that you could use instead czcams.com/video/G-n8DmEtiZA/video.html
Grington300 300 how could you??? ;) Please don't do the fan cam. I know sound is from the LMG show but he needs to see complete LMG performance with intro.
@@sumoayui463 Haha, you know I agree entirely that the LMG performance is the one to is the one to see of course (but I think you have assumed I've recommended the horrible fancam from LMG - I would never do that. The link I posted is to a reworked compilation of fan cams from the 2020 European tour).
@@Grington300 Actually I saw that you linked the EU version. For a fancam it's good I agree but fancam is fancam. Just for Su's big smiles - you can literally see on her face that Oh Majinai is her favorite song - It's worth it to use GoogleDrive and watch the official version.❤️❤️
@@sumoayui463 I'm all for the Google Drive and the official version :-)
ようこそ！ 狐の沼にどっぷり浸かりましょう！！！
You're not the first person to fall in love with Moa and you won't be the last. There's a reason we call her the angel of love!
Since you've joined the Moa Gang, check iout Moa's special solo song, "Love Machine": czcams.com/video/LpRxI3gYoTg/video.html
Also, you mentioned their whispering, they have a Black BABYMETAL song where Moa and Yui whisper like half the song.
Good choice of interviews. I can see that both you and i really miss Yui. Try "Oh, Majinai" and i feel like home as you will see and hear Joakim Brodén, the singer of the swedish band Sabaton. 🤘🦊❤😊Stay home, stay safe, stay metal!
Moas speech is TOO brutal. Better check out the Nendo class tests from Sakura Gakuin first. The graduation speeches will leave your eyes totally dry!
Sakura Gakuin graduations work really well for making sure tear ducts are functional.
The subunits: Scoopers, Twinklestars, Pastel Wind, Mini-Pati, Sleepiece, Babymetal, Logica, Pro-Wrestling Circle, Koubaibu, Art Performance Unit trico dolls. You should try post 2014 Sakura Gakuin too. I highly recommend my favourite SG song, Mathematica. As a Kpop stan I think you'll like the music video and song.
The two girls with glasses have become more beautiful and are still active as talents
Yeah, I went thru a Moa addiction for a while, she is just so captivating.
For the record Su is 5'1" and Moa is 5' maybe. They have spoke English for quite some, they spoke English on a video from 2016 on FBE.
I'm with you as to bias for Moa, she was a cutie and now she is a beautiful young woman. I love her voice when she speaks English, the tone and accent. Today Su and Moa have a lot of creative input into their songs/performances. Su, of course has input into the lyrics after all she's the singing them. Moa with Su creates the main dance steps for the songs now. Finishing up with Mikikometal, their choreographer.
I love their interviews, but they never give much away, Kobametal taught them well.
You can be Yui biased as well as Su and Moa i do there all awesome, but when Su go's full Goddess there is only one Goddess 🤘🦊🤘🔥❤❤❤
Ps got my BabyMetal key rings they are great ❤
Glad to hear it! 😊
Now that you have fully acknowledged your Moa bias you really must see the rest of the Loudwire interview. Please see Melodic Bunny's comment for the link. Yes, please do as a reaction vid (include in an Interviews part 2?) of the rest of the Loudwire interview. Graham did a fantastic job of conversing with them in English.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, are you suggesting the Fox God isn't real?
The funny thing about the Fox God thing, is that there are actual religious sects in Japan that do worship foxes, and have for a long time. There are shrines in Japan here they go to worship the Fox God., and have pretty cool fox statues in and around them.
Well, strictly speaking as I understand it, the shrine is usually for Inari. The foxes at the temple are the messengers of Inari.
FYI, the Fox god is a Japanese god, a messenger god
⚡ 💀 💕 / 🎙
It's always going to be Su for me, because of the singing, but Moa is a solid bias choice.
She's thoroughly charming.
If you like Moa's voice, you might want to hear the introduction she narrated for the LEGEND M concerts:
czcams.com/video/pJvO_xtbm40/video.html
These two shows in her home prefecture of Aichi celebrated her 20th birthday.
Thanks!!! I had forgotten about Moa's narration. Her voice is like honey
@@jeffschreifels8651 She can make a line like "From the sky will come a great King of Terror." sound absolutely adorable. : )
@@rickwagner- haha, that's some deadly charm. She could tell me straight up she's going to kill me in my sleep and all I'd picture is a basket full of kittens.
Really interesting to see how they evolve over the years. There is a video of the english version of Elevator Girl on the Babymetal channel, but personally I prefer the japanese version.
I'd give u hint on the Shanti reaction that Moa was in progress to be add to the Wall of bias :-), Su and Moa are cute and badass at same time, babymetal are out of this world imo ❤️
Su's my bias, but actually I really love the girls fully, I love them individually and I love them together specially. I also like the kami band alot. I think I like SuMoaYui, Su may be my bias, but I like the 3 of them, so if I am going to choose, I would choose SuMoaYui altogether cause I love them😊.
Good stuff! I absolutely love the interviews. The Nendo tests are a must! Same with the graduation stuff. Moa's speech, Su's graduation toss and Su's graduation surprise kill me but I can't not watch them. Kitsune up! 🤘🦊🤘
He's done the live graduation toss from when Su graduated. I linked he speech and Moa's message in my comment. I'd like to see him do the surprise appreciation party too. You can't watch them why? I'm guess cause they're all tear jerkers?
@@jamesmcclung153 I said I can't NOT watch them, lol. Even though they are definite tear jerkers I will always watch them.
@@TreadheadA1 ahh I gotcha. I misread that. My bad.
@@jamesmcclung153 No worries! I was sure that was what happened.
She is 5'! lol . Su I mean
For the English/Japanese. You probably already know that English is a very difficult language for Japanese people to learn and speak. Su has already a rather decent grasp of it, but you see she is searching for words and correcting herself.
In my opinion it really shows her dedication that she has taken it on herself to speak English as much as possible.
Elevator Girl [Japanese Lyrics Ver.] (unofficial Official Video)
vimeo.com/354248416
Just to add: I don't know if you're familiar with a Peter Sellers audio skit which has him playing a typical pop star of the day (1960s). The way the girls answer when speaking English reminds me of the cadence used by Sellers - "Someday, I hope to play the Old Vic in Shakespeare...": czcams.com/video/82dRwzQSgr8/video.html starting at 3:48.
😂👍
I feel like you'd really enjoy some of the sakura gakuin stuff like the nendo test videos with subtitles, but thats WAY down the "foxhole" so to speak to the point its beyond the foxhole
Metal Galaxy Full Album Please...
Youre late to the Moa Fandom. The moment I seen her she was my favorite. Marina from Sakura Gaukin was my second favorite.
Me too - when Yui left I always hoped that Marina would be asked to step in
@@MasqueChosen I thought the same thing Marina is just adorable, she still is.
The Scoopers girls, Ayaka and Airi are now both very successful models and actresses. Both are stunning women.
If you can please, pretty please. React to some Sakura Gakuin alumni's music. I suggest you react to Ayami Muto; she was the 1st class president of SG (leader) for 2 years. She and Su were both from the group Karen Girl's.
This is her music, she just release her new song Betty, here's the link: czcams.com/video/SlJ7P_OG654/video.html
I bet you will love her music, it suits your style!
I love that song. I play it just about every time I wash dishes or do something I don't enjoy. lol
She actually just released the whole EP and it's a banger
@@TheLeomarti yup she did. I have the mini album on Spotify!
Those subtitles during the NME are kinda bogus from what I remember after seeing comments under that video.
Anyway, do you see yourself watching a full show at some point? That would be awesome to watch.
Id love to watch a full show! If I can get my Twitch sorted I'd likely try and do it on there or something...🤔
I adore Moa and Su trying to speak english for their foreign fans. People can smile and laugh at their tries but I doubt most of them can even speak a little bit of Japanese.
hi ^-^ I'm back! 😀
I'm sorry I didn't follow your videos anymore, I started a temporary job that is literaly sucking almost all my time (and health 😖)
Hi Gabby! 😊
That’s absolutely fine! If you’re busy then I completely understand that 😊 it’s more important to me that you look after yourself and you’re healthy than watching my vids. You can do that whenever you’re able to 😊
Hope you’re doing well, jobs are great but don’t let them affect your health, they’re never worth that ❤️
@@britkpopreacts thank you 😊 i'm so exhausted.. that i start to cry a lil' just thinking i gotta back there tomorrow 😭😂😭😭
@@gabbysantos2405 I feel for you ❤️ i don’t know if it would help at all really but if you ever need something to chat to or just vent at bit, feel free to DM or get in touch 😊 I’m more than willing to help and support if I can ❤️
Airi Matsui, Ayaka Miyoshi and that fruitloop Marina Horiuchi, do babymetal Doki Doki morning,
czcams.com/video/n2pvE67ZAiM/video.html
Omg. That's golden! Marina is one of my favorites cause she's such a goofball. They did everything including the 'see you'. Fantastic stuff. Thanks for sharing that.
I miss Yui. It's worse because we don't even know where she is or what she is doing. We don't even know if she is still alive.
Yes please react to Elevator Girl. This is the official live music video:
czcams.com/video/Q48bwxyqVpQ/video.html
Su is 5’ 1” and probably won’t grow anymore (23 next month). Moa and Riho are just short of 5’ and Kano is shorter still. Momoko is taller than Su. They are shorter than the Japanese average. For crowds - biggest in Japan - 55,000, though most were much less - quite a few at 20,000. I am unsure how many stopped to look and listen at Glastonbury 2019. Kitsune - the Fox God is quite important in the Shinto Pantheon, but belief in a particular god is not prerequisite I. Dipping in and out of Shinto and Buddhist practices, as most Japanese people do. BM’s early single - Megitsune (vixen) was blessed in a Shinto ceremony attended by the girls. Modern day BM are a little tongue in cheek with ‘Only the Fox God Knows’
From one Shaun to another, Moa is an absolute goddess and anybody that says otherwise is WRONG!!! And Su's laugh at 14:19 is just so adorable, and yes Moa's look at 23:56 is just gorgeous. However I still don't get what's so great about Billie Eilish, she does nothing for me (musically) whatsoever.
I know a lot of people who feel the same about Billie, I will say though, once it clicks with her, you're hooked, and there's no turning back....😁
P.S- Great name! 👍😎
@@britkpopreacts I've seen and heard enough of Billie to know she's not my cup of tea
Hmmm probably no one recommended you Elevator Girl because it is one of their worst songs.
On Oh! Majinai! (Su's favorite song from this album according to this interview), we didn't give it to you because it does not have a good video on CZcams (just compilations). I find it is a really fun one, one of my favorites of Metal Galaxy. Is this one if you are interested in checking it: vimeo.com/456370194
That answer about the Yui departure seems pretty scripted, Koba surely told them what to say when someone asked.
PLEASE REACT TO DIMASH SINFUL PASSION
No... that's not cute..try nendo test sakura gakuin..😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Reaction to interviews? WTF? Desperate for clicks and likes?
Babymetal was born in 2010 and died in 2017, Su and Moa no longer represent the spirit of the band, they are simply two puppets of a record company that is only interested in making money. Both Kobametal and Su/Moa were selfish and ungrateful to Yui. They don't mind changing the concept of the band and that's why many fans stopped following Babymetal, now they look so ridiculous that they are going to change their name to Grannymetal xD
