AKATSUKI means red moon in Japanese.
BUDOUKAN is a most famous stadium's name in Tokyo Japan.
And this song is Su's solo song, and other two cuties also have their own songs.
Rondo of nightmare (with the band intro) needs to be your next song :)
Nippon Budokan usually referred to as just Budokan, is an indoor arena located in Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan.
On March 1st & 2nd 2014 BABYMETAL performed to shows. The first night was called Red Night and the second Night Black night. The shows styles were different for the two nights (including set lists and outfits).
Su-metal performs solo and Yui/Moa perform together (as Black BABYMETAL) without Su. This continued at shows until Yui left the group in 2018. (Many speculate as all the girls were young and the performances very intense it was to allow rest time duirng live shows). Since Yui has left formally Su & Moa have only performed together.
Akatsuki is the name of the song. Budokan is the legendary venue in Tokyo. (As in "Cheap Trick at Budokan" and "Bob Dylan at Budokan".) Black Night is the second of two shows Babymetal played there in 2014, the first being Red Night.
@@Paul-PharaohTV You're welcome! I enjoyed your reaction. For your next Babymetal reaction I would suggest the song Megitsune, and it's a rare case where I'd recommend the official video (although there is no bad version of this masterpiece): czcams.com/video/cK3NMZAUKGw/video.html
@@Paul-PharaohTV
Just a bit of trivia: Babymetal is on record as the youngest headlining at to perform at Budokan.
Yui and Moa both had their own solo songs. Yui's was called "Chokotto Love" and it's kawaii AF. Moa's was called "Love Machine". On their 15th birthdays (June 20 for Yui, July 4 for Moa), each girl got to sing the second verse of Headbangeeeeeeer. All of these performances are available on CZcams. 🤘🦊🍅🍔
Yes they have a subgroup called Black Babymetal where Yui-Metal and Moa-Metal perform songs together while Su takes a break. If you want some of them react to
BABYMETAL - 4 no uta live budokan black night
BABYMETAL - GJ live compilation! Or BABYMETAL - Sis Anger live
Yes, this was (obviously) a Su Solo song. Moa and Yui also have solo songs, 'Love Machine' and 'Chokotto Love' respectively.
Moa and Yui also perform as a pair, without Su, referred to as 'Black Babymetal'. Their songs are '4 No Uta' (Song 4), 'GJ', 'Onedari Daisakusen
' and 'Sis Anger'.
The idea behind the different line ups (Su solos and Black Babymetal) is allow the girls to take breaks during the concerts. Some of the bigger concerts run pretty long and, as you can see, they use up a lot of energy during their performances. While Su is performing her solos, Moa and Yui gat a chance to rest a bit, hydrate and, in general, catch their breath. While Black Babymetal takes the stage, Su is the one taking a break. The Moa and Yui solos were more special events at special concerts and are not part of their normal rotation of songs.
This song and her other solo, "No Rain, No Rainbow" are one of the songs that has the feels to it.
@@Paul-PharaohTV You're welcome. Try reacting to that song, "No Rain, No Rainbow". It makes you smile and cry at the same time. The feels... Just the feels.. and Su's voice..
awesome reaction again, Paul!
thanks for the shout out ;D as i'm a bit late to the party, the others have already explained everything you asked!
my next suggestion would be: "Ijime, Dame, Zettai live at Sonisphere 2014"
cheers, have a nice day!
You will hear many suggestions but in reality you really need to do Ijime Dame Zettai from Sonisphere 2014. It is a huge moment in Babymetal history. Besides a single show in Singapore and 2 warm up smaller shows in France Babymetal had not played outside Japan. Then boom at a huge metal fest, known for harsh reactions to bands, there to see Maiden and then 3 young teen Japanese girl’s and some dudes in white hit the stage. It is the moment Babymetal took off outside Japan.
Ijime, Dame, Zettai from Sonisphere is a must. Absolutely.
Also, for a more recent song... Distortion live at Download 2018.
Here's the link for Ijime, Dame, Zettai live at Sonisphere 2014. It is indeed a legendary moment in Babymetal's history - the first decisive battle in their ongoing world conquest: czcams.com/video/Ro-_cbfdrYE/video.html
Thank you Zipa, I have it on my list and I will try and do it this week!!
You're way down that fox hole now!!!😁 There's so much more to watch.
Rondo of Nightmare with the Mischief of God's Intro is a real showcase for the Kami Band, and a really classy track. Well worth a listen!!
⚡ 💀 💕 / 🔴 🌙
This was the performance that sold me on BABYMETAL. I liked them after seeing the 'Gimme Chocolate' video, but Su's solos at Budokan made me a die-hard fan.
The guitarists that night were Leda Cygnus (left) and Takayoshi Ohmura (right).
Both are worth checking out on their own rights.
I've said it before, but Su doesn't need to fear any of the pyrotechnics because she is fire herself.
A cool thing about 'Akatsuki'.
It's written by combining the characters for "Red" and "Moon".
Which helps explain the red moon imagery BABYMETAL uses in many of their concerts.
In the track listing, the character "Kurenai" (deep red or crimson) is used instead of "Red", probably as a tribute to the X-Japan song with that name.
Sometimes the fire gets a bit close dude. We know our Khaleesi is unburnable, but I have flinched at some of it. Legend D, on the cross after Tsubasa wo Kudasai?
@Su is Queen I'm guessing/hoping that the camera angles make it look more dangerous than it was.
Or that they are more sensible these days.
@@rickwagner- I was on the balcony at Brixton and could feel the blast from the flames during Pa Pa Ya! Am hoping they flame up Glasgow Barrowlands in February.
Damn. It sounds like a opening of an anime and rock combined and the guitarists are amazing
Takayoshi Ohmura (pink guitar) played with Marty Friedman. Ohmura and Leda Cygnus (black guitar) are both absolute legendary shredders.
Great reaction man!!! This is my favorite Su-metal solo she's amazing, and the Kami Band just flawless like always!!
The long version of "Catch Me If You Can" has a great Kami Band intro. "Catch Me If You Can BABYMETAL BLACK NIGHT LEGEND DOOMSDAY" the same concert you just reacted to at Budokan. Bad Ass...
Budokan is a martial arts sprots arena having center court and octagonal stand seats.
So they made a rotating stage to show to every angles.
the song title is Akatsuki, Budokan is the name of stadium, and the concert theme and concept is Black Night...
by the way, you have complete the second mission for 1 of the best BabyMetal songs "Akatsuki" with its perfect beat and singer sync...
and "Headbanger" for crowd participation..
the third mission is to hear the beauty and the darkness mix in 1 song called "Rondo of Nightmare" i suggest with Mischiefs of God intro in the same place "Budokan, Black Night Live"
then you'll be prepared for last song called "iine" with the fusion of 4 genre (must be live) i suggest live [HD], the crowd participate are good in there too..
great reaction as always! Yui and Moa together are Black Babymetal!
i recommend the video Onedari Daisakusen | 4 no uta | BLACK BABYMETAL
Which is a live perfomance of 2 Black Babymetal songs in a row
Hey Paul! Awesome reaction! "Akatsuki" means "Crimson Moon" and this was played at the Budokan Arena where they did two nights called Red Night and Black Night. Different set lists, different costumes even. Akatsuki is a song about lost love and broken hearts: "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." The damaged blade is a metaphor for a teenage broken heart.
Here's my suggestions for next reactions:
"Ijime, Dame, Zettai" Live at Sonisphere 2014 UK - This was the last song of their first big show in the west. They were supposed to play a small side stage but got bumped up to the main stage. The girls were terrified how the UK metal heads would react to them.
"Rondo of Nightmare" with Mischiefs of God Intro Budokan Black Night - Also a Su solo from the same concert, but this really shows off the Kami Band
Yui and Moa do have some songs they perform without Su as "Black Babymetal". Here's "Onedari Daisakusen" (Operation: Beg-Dad-for-it) czcams.com/video/hivJTm4ncjo/video.html
Thank you Icebalm!! I will add them to the list. I appreciate all the feedback :)
My favourite Babymetal song is probably still Megitsune, so that's the one I'd always recommend to anyone that hasn't heard it.
Love your reaction videos! BTW this one is pronounced "ah-kot-ski" and it's a great song. But but but, the power of the band and a hauntingly good vocal performance is Rondo of Nightmare with the Mischief of the God's intro. That absolutely should be the next one. This will be Su solo again but it's a stellar performance. Megitsune after that. And sometimes Black Babymetal will be mentioned, this is Yui and Moa without Su. There are about 4 songs that they do, and they are a bit different from anything you have seen so far. I personally like Onedari Daisakusen a lot. They also have 4 no Uta, Gj, Sis Anger. I think Onedari is probably the most different from the rest. And another outstanding official video is Distortion. You loved Karate, so you will love Distortion as well. I love what you are doing and if you keep asking for suggestions we will keep sending them! I can't wait, 17 days and counting for my first time seeing them in concert. I'm going to the first US show in Orlando Florida on September 4th. I am stoked! Oh and a bit of bad news, rumor has it that they don't make the pops for Babymetal anymore. Not positive that is true but that's what I heard. Might have to try Ebay for those. See on the next video. Thanks again!
@@icebalm you might be correct, I don't speak Japanese. I have only heard it the way I sounded it out.
Also, acceptable is the more formal ah - kah - tsu - key "crimson moon." can do a similar contraction with kitsune, which Su does sometimes right after the "we are... Babymetal!" endings. Kitsune Up!
Thank you Chris!! I am pretty sure that they don't make those Funko's anymore so I will have to find a deal somewhere
Tonight, I was listening to some of their earlier songs as background music while surfing CZcams. The song: Gimme Chocolate!! on their official video published on Feb 26, 2014 … I actually heard the other 2 girls singing voice - alone - and not as a chorus... If we thought they look so young now, wait until you see how they looked in 2014.
P.S.. their newest song popped up in my newsfeed - all in English - released in advance for their upcoming US tour.
czcams.com/video/gcFb--b6vGE/video.html this is a great one by Yui and Moa. Check it out if you haven’t
@@Inosuke_Hashibira75 , doomo arigatoo!! I really love that video! The first time I was watching it, I didn't realize I had this great big smile the whole time until I felt my cheeks hurting. I had to re-watch it again. I'm new to BM. In the video, the girl on the left side (Yui? Moa?) had this great smile while singing and dancing. She looked like she was having so much fun. I think that was why I was smiling while watching the video. Thank you so much for referring me to the video! Doomo!!
Su always kills it in this song.
If you want to hear a song performed only by Yui and Moa, you might want to check out "Onedari Daisakusen": czcams.com/video/VQ9qBj_KqR8/video.html
If you want to see all of them, another great song is "Megitsune": czcams.com/video/PUkzu1IJW4w/video.html
Su-Metal as the Crimson Knight.
For more Su solo and Kami band face melting: Rondo of Nightmare with Mischief of the Metal Gods Intro.
Also when you visit northern Europe, have a look at "Heilung": czcams.com/video/QRg_8NNPTD8/video.html
Yui Mizuno left the group a while back due to undisclosed illness. Other than that, I think this was intended to be a solo, since it is a ballad (at least it *sort of* is, with the piano and all).
web.archive.org/web/20181020053429/www.babymetal.com/en/news/?id=28
The 2 other girls are taking a break, they have their solo songs so Su can have a break during the concert.
Believe it or not, this is a love song, the way she sings at 110% of her voice range and power, display all her desperation for losing her beloved and her stubborn wish to keep her love alive nonetheless. You can feel the tenderness again when she lower her voice in the slow parts and then all her strength when she goes on the higher notes, the way she interprets this song gives me goosebumps every single time.
The reason why she looks at her finger is a common belief in Japan, that two beloved are tethered together by a red thread tied to their small fingers.
While Su-metal sing solo, other two girls take break.
When Su-Metal take break, other two girls sing their song as duo as BLACK BABYMETAL.
BLACK BABYMETAL is also Fun & Cute but harder metal than as usual. I recommend to check a few their songs.
Why do they use Piano, it's for homage to X Japan.
Thank you 😊

She's good, she's so good.
...that moment when The Queen adds another subject.
That was amazing Su solo.. chech out duo of Yui and Moa, GJ! live at Tokyo dome or Wembley (U can't found it on YT, but easy can be found in google). They are amazing too)
Fear not, there is still a lot of great Babymetal to react to including Yava, Ijime Dame Zettai at Sonosphere,
Doki Doki Morning, Megitsune and Syncopation

AKATSUKI
Going over thousands nights,
some love shall survive.
So, until my body perishes,
until my life disappears,
I shall keep on cherishing this love.
Shining in the depths of the 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 nights,
some love shall survive.
So, until my body perishes,
until my life disappears,
I shall keep on cherishing this love.
In the passage of time,
I keep my eyes shut.
Even if the red thread flowing in my hand breaks,
I still feel we are tied.
In the silence,
I hold the damaged blade face to face.
My loneliness and my uneasiness,
I slash, even my heart,
now.
Going over thousands nights,
some love shall survive.
So, until my body perishes,
until my life disappears someday…
Going over thousands nights,
some love shall survive.
So, until my body perishes,
until my life disappears,
I shall keep on cherishing this love.
Dye crimson! Dye bloody crimson!
You should check out the song that made them an internet phenomenon: Gimme Chocolate. When you're ready for an emotionally raw version of this song, check out the unfinished acoustic version. Tear inducing.

@@Paul-PharaohTV you won't regret it! One of their darkest and heaviest songs
Akatsuki means Red moon.. Acatski in pronunciation is a Power Metal Ballad solo of The Queen SU-METAL. Check out Ijime, Dame, Zettai Live in Sonisphere UK 2014 their breakthrough performancein the west czcams.com/video/Ro-_cbfdrYE/video.html
May I recommend The One , No Rain No Rainbow and for shear theatrical brilliance Babymetal Death with crucifixion
oh man ... you just saw a fraction how much we love Babymetal and if someday by any chance you want to see our love to Babymetal you will .... errr ... just forget it , it's for your own health :)
Yui and Moa do have their own songs without Su, my favorites being GJ and Sis Anger.
So I’m replying late but to your question about them singing solos. Other than when Yui and Moa sing their duo songs, there are videos out there of Yui and Moa getting to sing the last bit of Headbanger when it’s their birthday. There is a very recent one of Moa from a year ago I think. Legend M 2019 might be the concert name? Worth looking up but I don’t think CZcams would let you react to it because dmca stuff
1. Well done review.
2. I'll be looking for ur other BABYMETAL reactions momentarily.
3. BABYMETAL. And Judas Priest are my top two (tied) favorite bands. Metallica close 3rd.
4. Japan has way more to offer:
Aldious
Love Bites
Band-Maid (alter ego: Band Maiko)
Mary's Blood
Doll$Boxx
All female rock bands.
From hard rock to metal. Unbelievable talent...awe inspiring
5. Also try some Mongolian Folk rock. The Hu.
6. Well done.
7. Subscribed✓
This reaction was way better than SummerSonic Garbage livestream... 2 songs...what a joke...
Yeah only 2 song what a joke
I have to come to see people reaction to cool myself huhuhu
@@akatsukisyuk2877 Agreed, stayed up all night to watch them BM only two songs, but damn they rocked the two performances. PA PA Ya was on fire with the pyro👍🤘
Kitsune
@@METALSKINMETAL yeah at least they rock it out..the crowd is on fire..i wish i was there 🤘🦊🤘
Yes ! Yes ! Yes !
Before Babymetal, that band was too long to hear their music.
@@Anu_metal that's right.. Do you think they will rebroadcast full babymetal again?..
If I had to guess, I would say she's the lead singer all the time The other girls are back ups I do believe.
@Steve buckskinner 54 Yui and Moa have two songs without Su on both albums released so far.
'Onedari Daisakusen' and '4no Uta' on the first, self-titled album, and 'Sis.Anger' and 'GJ!' on Metal Resistance.
Keep the babymetal coming! I love them and also your reactions. Next I suggest Babymetal Death-Legend 1997 version it's heavy and the girls put on one hell of a show! Link - czcams.com/video/jRc9dbgiBPI/video.html
Thank you so much Joshua!! I really appreciate it. I will add it for sure!
Thanks Pharaoh! fun r/v. New sub. When you get a chance please react to Band-Maid!
Greetings Pharaoh! Nice reaction and glad you are looking for more tunes to check out! Here are a couple for you. "AMORE" www.dailymotion.com/video/x57tnko, this is another Su Metal solo song. And "Catch me if you Can" vimeo.com/313465929. The versions I attached are the best ones of each song (in my opinion). There are many more, and I see some good ones noted below, so keep up the good work!
Here’s one with just Yui and Moa while Su takes a break. czcams.com/video/gcFb--b6vGE/video.html
yui metal is no longer in the band and guitarrist mikio fujioka pass away in 2018, greeting from chile
uhh... actually, in cage. Btw you are fan of Yui-chan right?🍅 YuiMoa also have their songs I recommend Onedari Daisakusen(Begging Operation)
English lyric: babymetalnewswire.jimdo.com/lyrics/onedari-daisakusen/
BabyMetal Legend of 1997 Onedari Daisakusen czcams.com/video/gcFb--b6vGE/video.html
Babymetal red is Su .. Babymetal black is Yui and moa ,,. Babymetal white is the three .. There is a background on the reasons and the story ..
Yui and Moa are playing in the forest and go to the forbidden area and are corrupted and made into wax dolls, It is in Eden and they are drawn from the "one true metal" .. Su has to rescue them and in one of the concerts Yui and Moa are rescued and play Grand Piano in their cervical collars as Su sings.
All your reactions are consistently amazing! PLEASE react to their latest Official MV: literally released yesterday!

Hi from the UK something for you to check out this is a Japanese band that kick's baby metal out of the pram
It's called band maid try the following songs.
Play live.
Don't you tell me live.
Puzzle live.
Also this band is massive all over Europe it's called nightwish try.

I will never understand people comparing Band Maid to BabyMetal. Two different styles of music, and as much as I like both bands, Band Maid musically isn´t better than BabyMetal as you are implying, they are different and equally amazing. There is no point trying to diminish one band just because you prefer another. I´ve seen both live by the way, and they are awesome.
@@JohnPMatias16 The obligatory toxic Band Maid fan has arrived I see, it was just a matter of time.
@@Grington300 I´ve seen a few on BabyMetal videos. It baffles me in all honesty.
@@JohnPMatias16 Some of them were Babymetal fans who got upset and changed their allegiance when Yui first disappeared and her absence was so badly handled - they are just bitter and come onto Babymetal reaction videos to promote Band Maid but can't justify that (especially to themselves I suspect) without saying something nasty or without a put down of some sort.
@@Grington300 Maybe that is the case. I also was sad when Yui left, when Mikio died and was worried for the band throughout 2018, there was clearly something missing. I feel it was a transition year. They are now more energetic than ever, with new music to match, and the girls look as happy as ever. The BabyMetal of now, is the fun, fresh and heavy BabyMetal they have always been, and I for one am very excited for the new album. I wish people would stop thinking about what happened to Yui, as sad as it is to see her go, BabyMetal is still here, and they are stronger than ever. Mikio and Yui (for different reasons offcourse) will always be missed, and they will always be part of the One.

I have left you some links in the comments for more of the same or better (opinions will always vary, just as much as Babymetal's songs will always vary).
Song title- akatsuki
Venue- bodakan
Concert black night. This is a Su solo song. Moa and Yui are resting . Shouldve done the whole song with the intro. Moa and yui have a couple of songs where they sing only the two of them and Su rests.
