"Gimme Chocolate" is often the starting point for reactors, but that annoys some BM fans because it doesn't have the Kami Band or showcase Su's voice very well. I suggest you look at "Headbanger Legend 1997" and you'll get a better idea of what Babymetal does and then "Road of Resistance - Live in Japan".
I second "Headbanger" (Legend 1997, of course)
Both songs are already in the que, added both of your names to the requesters.
Another vote for Headbanger (Legend 1997). 1997 refers to the lead singer, Su-Metals date of birth. The concert was 2013 on Su's 16th birthday. The other 2, Yui and Moa were 14. Oh, and the official video of Gimme Chocolate has 144,000,000 views.
Don't forget KARATE (live UK Download 2016)
@@THEDavidHeretic Also check out BxMxC and their collaboration with Being Me The Horizon, Kingslayer. Their two most recent MV’s.
For a heavy track try out Distortion or Iijime, Dame, Zettai. Live versions always better.
3 months ago I didn't know any Japanese bands. Now I can't stop listening to them. Right away I took to Nemophila and Band Maid. But I brushed off BabyMetal after listening to 1/2 of a song. My initial thought was dancing vocalists singing pop style songs and metal music just didn't fit together. After a 2nd try at listening, I started to realize that, because they didn't fit, they fit. It works. Now I can't stop listening to them too. And my favorite parts are the dancing...go figure.
How big are these girls? Around 5 feet tall. Sorry, I couldn't resist. :D Keep reacting to Babymetal and you will se how big they are. Gimme Chocolate doesn't even scratch the surface. They regularly pack 20K plus into arenas especially in Japan and they tour all over the world, including the US. If you keep reacting to them or at least check out a few more songs you will understand why they can draw a crowd. One of the best live bands around.
Ok this made me laugh 😂
@@majorasm00gle Old Ewok under rock Wombles can do that to you ....This is a Full "ham" it up to max mega paw edition ....wonder if drives "STICK" .?
Wrong , around 45 kg
They opened for Metallica, guns n roses....., they performed live with Rob Halford on Painkiller and Breaking the law. Last month Halford says he would love to collab on a song with them for their next album. They started a whole metal genre that has spawned numerous female metal Japanese bands in the last decade. Metal Hammer rated them the no. 10 metal band of all time. the video for this song has over 140 million views. Yeah, you have been missing out.
Seitan sei means birthday. Su-metal was born in 1997, the concert was in 2013.
I'm not a hardcore Babymetal fan but I do enjoy their performances. They put on amazing spectacles and this isn't even the most elaborate. Rob Halford apparently likes them and I think has performed with them. As far as the number of members, there were 3 girls but one (Yuimetal) had to drop out for health reasons. I don't know if they replaced Yuimetal yet but they have been using backups dancers in her place. They're fun and definitely worth more reactions.
> "I don't know if they replaced Yuimetal yet"
They, probably, will never really replace her though most fans would be fine with it.
They have not replaced her but BABYMETAL does have the Avengers. 3 young women who toured with them since 2019. they are Riho Sayashi, Kano, and Momoko. 2 of the 3 young ladies have followed their own path Riho now does acting and modeling, Kano is now part of an idol group called @ONEFIVE. @ONEFIVE consist of 4 members who are graduates of Sakura Gakuin.
@@robertbradshaw8246 Thanks, good to know. Now I'm going to have to catch up on Baby Metal news and performances.
Megitsune. Best song of Babymetal.
When I read the title "Gimmie Chokolate", I feared the worst.
Many metal fans, including musicians, fall back on their traditional understanding and only appreciate songwriting and the handling of the instruments. It is often overlooked that there are so many more factors that make a good band.
Really great reaction.
Babymetal is really no ordinary band and you only realize their potential after several songs. So please stay tuned. Thumbs up and subscription.
My advice? Give it 3 songs. If you're not sold by then, you probably won't be. But I think you'll dig it in the end. There are a few songs out there that will grab you, I think. Can't wait to see more 🤘🦊🦊🦊🤘
"Babymetal Death" was my introduction to them 5 years ago. The lead vocalist Su was crucified while the other two girls, Yui and Moa, along with others wearing robes were bowing down and chanting "death". I was hooked from the beginning.
This song is the WTF song from Babymetal. They blend every genre with metal. This performance has actors as musicians. Later on they got Kami-Band behind them, one of the best musicians in Japan. You're gonna love Boh the bassist. This song and Awadama Fever is written by the bassist in the Japanese punkband The Mad Capsule Market. They have lots of backing tracks. babymetal is all about the show. Dragonforce wrote a song for them: Road of Resistance. That live show is somethinmg!
Already in the que, added your name to the requesters.
@@THEDavidHeretic Nice.. Have to mention that every song that Babymetal have is going to challenge your mind in different ways... Enjoy the journey!
This is grab you and make you curious!! When you see the actual Kami band and the girls at their best you’ll love it forever
Boh, Kami Band’s bassist…. Also known as the “6 String God of Bass”
In the end of the day, follow the advice of Su-Metal (BabyMetal lead vocalist)…. “Don’t think.. Just Feel”. Lastly, BabyMetal never have two songs exactly the same. Originated from a fusion of Jpop & Metal but they aren’t afraid to add other genres…. EDM, Progressive Metal, Death Metal, Industrial Metal, New Metal, Power Ballads, Thrash Metal, Hip Hop, etc.
At first, I thought you are a metal fundamentalist, or an elite, but I was relieved to hear the reviews. Kiss is also popular in Japan, but well, you are right. For BABYMETAL, I hope you to check out their live videos from around 2014 to 2017. It is said that many BABYMETAL fans are Metalheads, Idol fans, and music fans of all genres. And the age group is high. It is also characterized by having many female and child fans. I may be classified as a music lover (though I'm not so familiar with music). The secret behind BABYMETAL's popularity may be hidden there. They are not pure Metal, but it is clearly different from existing J-pop idols. So it s "What the hell it is!" Thank you from Japan.
Unfortunately, you didn't get that guitar solo here because they were just using a backtrack music in this performance. Try the "Rondo of Nightmare" so you can watch a performance with a Kami band solo. Kami band is their official backing band for every performance.
Rondo of nightmare might pull dave in lol
Already in the que, added your name to the requesters.
🔥❤️🤘
Yeah, he needs to see that the band is lagit metal.
I would recommend:
Headbanger (legend 1997 live)
Road of Resistance
Megitsune
Rondo of Nightmare (mischief of gods intro)
After these if you don't like it by then you never will, but I think you just might... I love these ladies, and this comes a 54 year old lifetime metalhead.
All 4 songs are already in the que, added your name to the requesters.
As soon as you see Road of Resistance Live in Japan you will be sold.
Dave they had two sold out shows at the Tokyo dome, 55,000 each night to end one of their world tours. They just played 10 shows at the Buddakan and have sold out Wembley and the LA Forum. Yeah they have a pretty large following and are on my bucket list to see along with LOVEBITES, Band Maid and Sohyang. You definitely need to see/listen to them more before you decide on whether you like them or not, trust me. Peace
Welcome to Babymetal Galaxy, remember to fasten your seatbelt, a wild journey is waitig ahead for you 🦊🤘
_Gimme Chocolate_ is pretty much about fun, eating chocolate while concerning about health issues a little bit, is also the gate for many BM fans back in 2014 ranking up top most viewed BM song, it is either love it, hate it or leaving you with the "wtf" face that makes you confuse about what did you just saw o_O
This was at Legend 1997 (SuMetal 16 birthday, 1997 is SuMetal birthyear) Makuhari Messe 2013 Japan, in front of 8K people, so yeah they were big even back then, but they became bigger internationally thank to this song, althou this a live performance sound is from studio album.
I like your music analysis here, not many reactor does that. You get it right about j-pop mixing with metal, they called this new genre _kawaii metal_
They're officially a trio group, but during certain times one of them leaves the group, so there were only 2 performing sometimes with backup dancers, after that they became normal trio, but that's a long story short here.
Kami Band is a set of elite musicians playing during live concerts with the girls, early days they weren't there thou and you'll see "baby-bones" mimicking and air playing instruments with backtracking music just like in this vid, don't worry you'll hear the real Kami Band power later on during other songs.
I know the dance and the hole concept not many dig it at the beginning but you can't say they're not originals because they were the first doing this. SuMetal was choose since the beggining and the hole concept is around her incredible voice, again you'll see even more of this.
If you want to watch less sugar j-pop style go for _"Road Of Resistance"_ is one of the strongest Babymetal weapon along with Karate from the 2nd album, but if you want to go back you might want to listen some other songs like Babymetal Death live Legend 1997, Headbanger!! live at Legend I, Catch Me If You Can live at Tokyo Dome, Ijime Dame Zettai live at Sonisphere 2014, Rondo Of Nightmare with Mischiefs of Gods intro (SuMetal solo), Song 4 (Black Babymetal) and the hole album i guess.
In terms of points is hard on BM bc sometimes you start rankin low and after some time the song keeps growing on you. So suit yourself with points score, i get it thou, just like i get it all about the gimmick thing, don't worry. What BM fans bother the most is the rejection of metalheads throwing trash over the girls because "they're not metal enough", "they're not metal", "they're faking" or "they just a product not worthy to be appreciated". If you watch the amount of metal legends supporting the girls and actually hearing their songs you'll see they're already been bless for everything what they did and accomplished.
Take your time, usually it takes 3 or 4 songs to get to know what is Babymetal and after that you'll decide is either worth it to keep listen or leave it, i'm pretty sure if you love music and metal you won't discard BM, but that's just my guess, thou.
Lastly, don't expect too many performances without the "cheerleading" dance from the girls, althou they have songs without dancing that's not the usual performance, because BM is not only about listen, is a hole experience and dancing is quintessential on them.
Just keep coming back with more BM songs, may the Fox God bless you!🦊🤘

Hmm… just imagine when he reacts to Head Banger, Rondo of Nightmare, Kagerou, Sis Anger, etc. The fact that Gimme Chocolate doesn’t really show how insane BM concert crowd are..
Crowd interaction?! BabyMetal have Ph.D in crowd control. Su-Metal wants a circle pit, no questions asked. BabyMetal fans have a saying…. #notacult Just imagine BabyMetal controlling 55,000 people in the Tokyo Dome. Converting tens of thousands of British metal heads into BabyMetal fans. Thousands celebrating Su-Metal (lead vocal) 16th Birthday by crucif… I’ll let you experience BabyMetal Death video.
Doesn't really show the voice of the lead singer ...cant remember her name (not a big fan) but i know her potential
@@dub5674 lead singer is Nakamoto Suzuka aka Su-Metal. Her solo songs… Rondo of Nightmare, No Rain No Rainbow, Akatsuki & Amore really shows how good Su’s vocals. She was specifically selected to be the lead singer for BabyMetal because of her singing and stage presence. The backup vocals and dancers… Yui-Metal & Moa-Metal we’re selected for the similar appearances and similar voices that really mix well with Su-Metal.
Headbanger and Rondo Of Nightmares are already in the que, added your name to the requesters.
agree bro, Headbanger is their most 'metalhead-friendly' song if that's a term, 😂
@@chikaraudon6854 really ? I would think Road of Resistance is easiest to get into.
It is from 2013. The 1997 was the year one of them were born. The concert happened on her 16th birthday.
This is basically Idol pop music with metal instruments.
It´s a guilty pleasure for me to watch Baby Metal .. I like for example their song "Karate" BABYMETAL-KARATE (live UK Download 2016) and BABYMETAL - Ijime,Dame,Zettai - Live at Sonisphere 2014,UK (OFFICIAL) I am 54 years old ..and I think it´s refreshing with something like them so much energy on stage it´s fun to watch..!
Dont let music you like be a "guilty pleasure". Guilty implies something wrong, there's nothing wrong with enjoying any music that makes you happy
Great reaction!
About the copyright issues: Lots of reactors have put an image, e.g. the Babymetal logo, over the onscreen video to avoid the copyright block. Works pretty well.
I'd say you should either watch "Road of Resistance live in Japan" or "Rondo of Nightmare at Budokan Blacknight" next. Have fun!
To add to this, the translucent logo trick (or just making the whole video translucent like you did here) works much better than pausing. Reactors that pause frequently don't actually seem to get blocked less often than reactors who don't pause.
"Road of Resistance (live in Japan)" may be one of their most impressive live performances - they're dancing so fast and still are on point with the singing and everything, and the band is sounding like demons. And yes, you may use the official videos on their channel (although RoR tends to get blocked more often than not) if you're putting a logo above it or make it translucent). There are a couple of music videos on the original channels (Megitsune, BxMxC, Karate) which are worth watching since they're quite beautiful.
I think there’s a channel called the babymetal reactor resource that helps with the logo (also helps that they provide subtitles)
@@majorasm00gle Unfortunately, Amuse found him at last and he's had to move his operation off of YT. He posted a video on his channel detailing his future plans for those who are interested.
You need to check out Road of Resistance live in Japan. That one is far better to judge their singing and choreography. That one gave me goosebumps. You will also get some better views of the Kami Band (backing musicians).
No.. Don't do Live In Japan... Everyone else does. Do Tokyo Dome Red Night.
@@radioraffa No, everyone does "live in Japan" for a reason.
@@PlezurBazar because it gets the most clicks and algorithm??
@@radioraffa No, because its an absolutely amazing performance and a stunner of a first reaction, and Because it creates instant fans.
It doesn't matter if your bored because you've seen it before. New reactors haven't and its far and away the best version of ROR.
I want reactors to have their minds blown and fall into the foxhole.
Kitsune Dao!
First time hearing BabyMetal your brain is on overdrive to make sense of things but after a couple of more you’ll see the true power of BabyMetal especially the live videos. You have to check out Ijime Dame Zettai live at Sonisphere 2014 their first gig at a metal festival and their start of world domination. It’s on their channel and since you pause a lot it should be ok to post it or try headbanger legend 1997, it’s from the same concert as give me chocolate. And they can control the crowd better than any band out there. Subscribed for more BabyMetal 🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻
"Headbanger" is already in the que, added your name to the requesters.
Thanks for checking them out. I have to say it took me three song to finally say ok I am hooked hope the same for you but time will tell.
You must reacting BABYMETAL - Ijime,Dame,Zettai live at Sonisphere UK 2014
I don't see that one in the que, so it would have to be a fresh request.

2013 is the year,
1997 is the birth year of Su (lead singer, oldest of the three) and the concert was her 16th birthday.
Song is on the cuter side and was their first song when they were even younger. But there's a lot to discover. It's just the entrance of the foxhole 🦊
"BABYMETAL DEATH Legend 1997" is incredible performancewise, "BABYMETAL - Rondo of Nightmare Live @ Budokan Black Night" a showcase of Su's voice and the capabilities of the whole band.
love the moment you saw the crowd xD
Already in the que, added your name to the requesters.
I’d like to see your reaction to their song Pa Pa Ya.
Stick with it. After a couple of songs, your hesitation will transform into fascination. After a couple more, you'll come to respect them and they'll start to creep into your mind, to the point that, after a couple more, you'll be putting up a Kitsune. (You'll learn what a Kitsune is, along the way. ;-))
I am fascinated, in a strange way. Trust me there's more coming from Babymetal on the channel.
To start with. Babymetal started 2010 and is Suzuka "Su-metal" Nakamoto (born 20 dec 1997) Moa "Moametal" Kikuchi (born 4 july 1999) Yui "Yuimetal" Mizuno (born 20 june 1999)
The band wearing skeleton suits is not a real band they are called Babybones and is just pretending to play, this because in their early days they didn't have money enough to have a real live band BUT in this show the 5 song encore included the KAMI band and are considered as one of the best musicians in Japan.
The idea from the beginning was to blend heavy metal with J-pop esthetics as to be a gateway for young girls to metal music. But it went on to be something much bigger.
The usual reactions use to be
1. WTF
2.Kind of good
3.Maybe some more
4.I like this
5.I want more
6.The foxhole
If you are intrested in something where you can see more of the real band behind Babymetal watch Rondo of Nightmare with Miscief of God intro, is a Su-metal solo so there is just one of the girls.
Their liveshows are always incredible and the lead singer has a stage presence out of this world it was actually how this idea got up when the producer Key Kobayashi saw a 10 year old Suzuka and her strong voice and stage presence that he wanted to test to mix it with heavy metal as her voice would not be drowned by the music so it means everything is built up around her to from the start.
Kitsune up 🤘🦊🤘/4
Already in the que, added your name to the requesters.
@@THEDavidHeretic I highly recommend Rondo of Nightmare, the version with the " Mischief of Gods" intro, performed at the Budokan. You may have seen it written in other comments that their songs are almost all quite different, this will demonstrate that to you immediately and give you plenty to analyze, including a focus on the lead singer's voice.
@@Shoe-metal Already in the que, added your name to the requesters.
Excellent first reaction. We all started the same way.🤘🦊🤘
Man, I love to see how you help yourself thinking and talking aloud. When you start talking you make yourself understand your feelings. When you don't talk your emotional part take over and you feel confused
BABYMETAL is the largest garden, GIVE ME CHOCOLATE is the narrowest gate to enter it.
That sensation you feel is the weightlessness as you tumble into the Foxhole.
I subbed to watch as you realize what you fell into!
I'm 57, an old school metal musician and I found BABYMETAL about 5 years ago and I can tell you this, they are my favorite band now.
They just passed 10 years together.
Over 50 songs, ALL of them are great. ALL of them are different.
Biggest, most elaborate concert productions, rivaled only by Rammstein.
They have performed live with Rob Halford (he loves them), toured with RHCP and Stone Sour (Corey Taylor listens to BABYMETAL at home). And that is just start of their list of accomplishments.
1997 is the year their lead-singer, SU-METAL was born, this video is from her 16th birthday party, and just wait till you see the finale from this show. (BABYMEATAL DEATH, Legend 1997), but do a few others first, so you wont be expecting it.
Do BABYMETAL - Headbanger Live @ Legend 1997 Apocalypse
Kitsune Dao!

ベビーメタル!!!
Ijime,Dame,Zettai - Live at Sonisphere 2014, UK
DRAGONFORCE worked on the first album and brought Babymetal in on stage in their huge stadium shows where the promoters wouldn't sign 13-15 year old girls. They have a huge following from 8-80 year old's. Being generous Babymetal let Lady Gaga, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Korn and Stone Sour close shoes for them. They did a cool set with Rob Halford and covered Painkiller and Breaking the Law.. Su-Metal is ruthless and plays on her strength. Perfume and One OK Rock are two of the other bands in the Babymetal family. The magicians are covered and might swap out at any time depending on scheduling. Everything is done on a click track in perfect time so there is zero room for any error or you can't help but hear it. It is 10 years of Babymetal and they have broken so many records. They even broke the barrier and had a number one on Billboards World Albums Chart .... Crazy stuff ...
That's a great analysis.
I would like to see your analysis of the following song, a collaboration with DragonForce.
BABYMETAL - Road of Resistance - Live in Japan (OFFICIAL)
There are several versions of this song, but I recommend this one (OFFICIAL).
If you get blocked, there is a way to hide the logo to avoid blocking, but I don't know the details.
React to Babymetal - Catch Me If You Can their best and probably heaviest song!!
I don't see that one in the que, so it would have to be a fresh request. You can suggest songs on here, and if your suggestion happens to already be in the que, I am more than happy to add your name to the requesters of that song.

No, not heaviest song, heaviest song is BABYMETAL - Death
I kinda had the same reaction when I first heard them. It took a while to grow on me and it was only after I listened to Karate that I grew to love them. Try Karate next or Headbanger or Road of Resistance! They're big, they did 2 nights at the Tokyo Dome back in 2015, 55,000 people on both nights (sold out both nights) and were also voted tenth best metal band in the world!
All 3 songs are already in the que, added your name to the requesters.
@@THEDavidHeretic If u try this songs u need to know proper version, Karate Official, Headbanger Live Legend 1997 Apocalypse and Road of Resistance Live in Japan, do not try another versions, this is the best for this song, imo ur next should be Headbanger Live Legend 1997 Apocalypse. See u in the foxhole ;)

This is a sign of real intelligence. To change your mind after the initial reaction shows me that you didnt shut your mind off but watched the whole thing intelligently and didnt make up your mind after a few seconds. Well done
Sir, you deserve my upvote, I've never seen a honest reaction as yours
FEELIN' YOU Jaume!!! That's what this channel is all about. Genuine, honest reactions and reviews.
This is from Babymetal Reactor Resource czcams.com/video/q40VmTHSh4c/video.html
Going forward, if reactors want to keep reacting to the videos, I've come up with a solution that will make it possible to continue using the videos with logos that have already been tested against blocks.
I've made a spreadsheet - docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
with links to both the logo videos and the non logo videos and are hosing them on a Russian social media site that won't remove them, and is out of the reach of the copyright trolls. There are a bit over 30 videos on there now, but I'll keep uploading more every day until they're all back up. I'll also be adding new videos that I'll test on an alt CZcams account before adding to the spreadsheet.
If you can't access the spreadsheet for whatever reason, here are direct links to both the non logo videos and the videos with logos:
No logos - ok.ru/video/c6630874
With logos - ok.ru/video/c7184602
For reactors that want to put your own logo over the videos, here is a link to the logos I use that are already made transparent - drive.google.com/file/d/1JUVf... or you can use whatever logo you'd like.
You can download the videos, which I recommend since the site can be a bit laggy sometimes, from this free website - sovid.net/ I recommend using the "HD" option when downloading to keep the file size reasonably small.
Although there are other videos on my channel there, only use the ones on the spreadsheet because some of the other non logo videos aren't CZcams safe.
Kitsunes UP!
Great reaction! Not unexpected with reacting to Babymetal...especially with this song. Bewilderment...expected! I am very much looking forward to you checking out more, mainly that if you thought this was good because most of their songs are much more musically constructed. I'm sure that you have been blown up in the comments below, I will just enjoy your coming reactions. New sub here for you discussion skills and balance.
Hey David's reacting to Babymetal - ohhh, it's Gimme Chocolate, this could be an adventure...
I'm arriving a bit late and haven't read any of the other comments so apologize if this is a bit redundant with what others already said (as it probably is).
Gimme Chocolate was their breakout hit that went viral and made them an international sensation so it is their most viewed video but most Babymetal fans would probably concede it is not the ideal song for someone into Metal to start with - Road of Resistance, IDZ (Ijime Dame Zettai) or Headbanger would all be better choices in that regard - even though pretty much everyone does start with Gimme Chocolate since it is the big "hit".
It actually got a much higher score than I was afraid it would - in fact if I'm being honest you scored it far higher than I would have if I was scoring when I first heard it 3 or so years ago (although I look back now and I have no idea what was wrong with me back then - alas it was over a year before I gave them a second chance although happily I eventually did).
I'm sure you've already received walls of text on the detailed history of the band but as to their ages and how many they are - the Legend 1997 concert was held in December 2013 the day after lead singer Su's 16th birthday (she was born in 1997, hence the concert name) - she is exactly 18 months older than Yui who is exactly 2 weeks older than Moa. Yui and Moa both turned 22 within the last month, Su is currently 23. The three of them started as Babymetal together in 2010 when they were 11 and 12 years old but Yui last performed with the group in October 2017, and officially left the group a year later. Since then Su and Moa have officially been a duo using a rotating cast of backup dancers to complete the triangle dance formation (but only Su and Moa sing, or at least they are the only ones with mikes so the audience can hear them). Although over the last 8 months they have done around a dozen performances all using the same backup dancer (Momoko, 18) so their is some speculation she might be promoted to full member and permanently replace Yui.
I would recommend you try Road of Resisitance or Ijime Dame Zettai next. I assume both have probably already been suggested to you many times. Alternatively if you want to hear just how good a singer Su is, No Rain, No Rainbow (probably also frequently suggested) is a ballad and one of the songs Su does alone without Moa and Yui (there were also songs Yui and Moa did alone without Su - the idea when they were younger was to give each girl a break without stopping the flow of the show - now that Yui is gone and Su and Moa are both adults, the no Su songs don't get performed very much although they did revise one of them for their recent 10th anniversary concerts).
Oh yeah I'm sure everyone else has said this but always do Babymetal live with the possible exception of Megitsune.
"What am I watching here?" is a normal first reaction on BABYMETAL!
Welcome to the Fox Hole!
Your reaction was pure joy to watch, if you want to hear how great the main singer Su is at singing, you should definitely check out some of her solos like Akatsuki and No Rain No Rainbow
"Akatsuki" is already in the que, added your name to the requesters.
Thanks for your reaction from Japan 有難う💛。 I love your reaction videos to Band-Maid and Lovebites, so I know what kind of performance you prefer. In this sense, you selected wrong song as a starter for BABYMETAL. (I love this song, though). The girls are and have been very excellent professional performers especially with their highly regarded real back instrumental players "Kami band". I recommend you to listen to "Rondo of Nightmare (7-minute live version)", "Karate (Download 2016), "Distortion (Download 2018)" and other heavy songs, then come back to cute (but with intricacy) songs.
"Rondo Of Nightmare" and "Karate" are both already in the que, added your name to the requesters. I don't see "Distortion" in the que, so it would have to be a fresh request. You can suggest songs on here, and if your suggestion happens to already be in the que, I am more than happy to add your name to the requesters of that song. However in order to make fresh brand new requests, you have to be a Bronze Tier member on the Patreon page. It's only $5 per month and you can make fresh requests, along with watch all the videos I've done that CZcams blocked and participate in Patreon community events and enjoy exclusive content for Patreon members only.
Once again you prove yourself being objective. You were not a big fan of the song, but you felt the professional level of all performers. 8.5 is a very big score for you and the reason you put the score is based on their work effort and skill, not because of your own personal preferences.
FEELIN' YOU Valentin!!!
i love babymetal
I just found out about BM and have been binging your reactions and its funny how you go from this to 10 songs in and your a puddle in their hands.
They are amazing. Have a lot of fans. Great, amazing live shows in Japan. You have to get used to it. Love them. They have a live-stream concert next week. Just do some more videos. Thank you for this reaction. Road of resistance live is a great next one.
I'm not a big fan of them but I do remember giving them a try after I saw Mike Portnoy tweeting that he was impressed by one of their song called "Tales of the destinies" and I really liked that song too, very progressive song and something I wouldn't expect of them, as far as I remember they have some nice songs here and there (although tbh I don't remember much beside the one I mentioned). And the backing band they have is actually amazing. Other than that I'm not into most of their songs, they do have some good performances though
I'm sure you're gonna like a lot of their stuff (if not for the music then for the performance), they do have a lot of interesting things musically though and since you're a bass player you're gonna like their bassist
i would never suggest gimme chocolate as someones first BM song but it's fun nontheless.
Try Sis Anger live(for the 2 dancers and backup vocalists only, the main vocalist is taking a break during that time) or Akatsuki live (the 2 are taking a break and the main vocalist is doing a solo song) or for all 3 again try Ijime Dame Zettai live at Sonisphere UK 2014 or Karate live at UK Download 2016.

I love black babymetal and I believe sis anger is the heaviest of all thier songs before yui left from falling and hurting her back
Close!!!
BABYMETAL doesn’t get up devil horns .
They get up KITSUNE sign !!
🤘🦊🤘
I always like to recommend Yava. Try to find the video with the Kami band intro. Babymetal's take on Ska is pretty badass! Your reaction and review are pretty on point. The fact that this song scored so high was actually shocking to me and I am a huge Babymetal fan. They are definitely a band worth diving into and they will grow on you each and every song you listen to. Looking forward to watching your journey into Babymetal. Thanks for the honest reaction!
Well they pretty BIG. They Collaborate with Rob Halford, Bring me the Horizon, Sabaton...and so on. You Like music, It's a good start. And You think the lead girl have a Voice. If You want to check how good the band is or how Su-Metal sing solo? So, don't think, just feel and grab " RONDO OF NIGHTMARE - BUDOKAN 2014". You won't regret it ;) Or even better, go straight to "Road of Resistance- live in Japan" . They wins Best Live Band Kerrang awards 2016.
Both songs are already in the que, added your name to the requesters.
You still have many videos to watch, live they are a genius
This gonna b interesting watch them live at sonic sphere 2014 uk festival huge crowd. They came out and there lives changed forever .The crowd control is insane. Su-metal says wants a circle u do as asked 👍👍
Sonisphere 🤘🦊🤘
@@martinmetal7481 yep spell check 🙈🙈 insane performance
I'm not a fan of Babymetal but I watched this knowing full well I would be entertained as we are of a similar age and have similar tastes in music. I have to give you props for doing your level best trying to understand what this is lol.
They're not pretending to be J-pop idols. They are. A brilliant producer who works with J-pop girl groups put the girls in front of a hired gun band. Su Metal, the one in the back, is shaping up to be a rock star.
@@wafflesaurus_supreme Didn't know but I'm not surprised.
RONDO OF NIGHTMARE ! YOU MUST TO SEE THIS ! Hi from Brazil :D
Already in the que, added your name to the requesters.
well .... with Babymetal one of the main rules are " expect the unexpected " and their crowd interaction ? let's just say every single of their songs always including the crowd.
Sumetals 16th birthday, born 1997, they were the biggest kick up the ass for metal ever. And boy , did it need it. They stared in 2010 as a sub unit of idol group Sakura Gakuin. Went independent 3 years later and now, 11 years later , are considered as one of the worlds top metal bands , much to the disgust of a few narrow minded metal head snobs. Don't judge them on this one song, there are dozens more that are much better, in my opinion. This is generally considered the what the fuck intro to Babymetal. 🦊🦊❤️🦊🦊
i really want see your next BABYMETAL reaction😄
Babymetal are one of the best live Metal bands in the world. So many super heavy tracks. So much for you to discover.
I laughed so hard watching your reaction like you don't have any idea what is going on! 🤣
Loved your reaction. Your initial reaction was exactly like mine. It took three songs for me to "get" them. Chocolate, Headbanger and Megitsune - my jaw hit the floor when I first heard that one. Then I became a fan.
Babymetal forever!!!! 🦊 🦊 🦊 Check out Road of Resistance Live in Japan, Ijime, Dame, Zetai live Sonisphere 2014, Karate, Live Download Festival or Rondo of Nightmare with Mischief of The Gods Intro Budokan Live!
All 3 songs are already in the que, added your name to the requesters.
You finally got around to them! When they did the ata-ata-ata and running around with hand guns you said "I still don't get this part". I discovered that "ata-ata-ata" is how Japanese imitate a machine gun. And "zukkyun" and "dokkyun" (which they say with their hand-guns pointed in the air) is the sound of a pistol. After World War II the American soldiers entered Japan. To make their presence more palatable, they would offer chocolate to the kids. It did not take long for the kids to learn the English "Gimme chocolate". So the title of the song is from this pop culture reference. At the beginning of the video when they first do the "ata-ata-ata" you will see that Su (the lead singer) is playing the mother - standing looking miffed while the other two are playing guns as children would do. She tolerates the children's play but as an adult she knows the horror of guns. And then the song begins and her face changes. BUT THE SONG HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WWWII - it is just a silly song about eating too much chocolate. But now you also know why the song starts with a salute
Oh yeah - I suggested The song Kingslayer which is by Bring Me The Horizon featuring Babymetal and said therwas a lyric video for that. Well someone did a mashup of BMTH and Babymetal at performing different songs but this person did a great job of making you think they are singing KingSlayer. It's a lot of fun to watch. czcams.com/video/hjr142FVK74/video.html
Haha...pretty usual first reaction. And its probably their most "silly" song. I think you will like other songs more...and why not check them with Rob Halford. Even the Metal God took them to his heart... 😉
They actually go hard on blocking (even thought Maximum the Hormone is even worse xD ) but there are quite a few of videos on their official page that are really safe to react to!
Atm MV that are NOT safe to react to are: "GImme Chocolate", "Megitsune", "Karate", "Road of Resistance" live in Japan, "No Rain No Rainbow" live at Legend S. The other videos haven't been blocked till now!
Other safe videos are their festival performances, the good ones are: "Ijime, Dame, Zettai" live at Sonisphere 2014, "Karate" live at Download 2016, "Distortion" live at Download 2018.
Any live performance before 2015 is safe to react: the good shows usually are Legend 1997 (in 2013) and Budokan (in 2014).
Any live performance after 2015 is NOT safe unless it's a compilation video from different shows, but not all are well done, so we usually don't really like them :D
Any non-safe video can be reacted to with a little work on it: usually putting a transparent watermark on top makes it safe!
On another note, whenever you see the band in skeleton suits, those are only there for the show, they are pretending: Babymetal started as a side project on a J-Pop group for girls between 10-15 years, and had almost no funding at the beginning, so they didn't always enough money to hire a live band. At the end of this very Legend 1997 show they brought in the live Band known as the Kami Band, and from 2014 onwards they always been supported by this live band.
Yes, they are a J-Pop and Metal fusion, and there are songs that are more towards the Pop roots, and other that are more towards the Metal side. The great thing is that all of their songs are different, and they like to mix any kind of metal type and even throw in other music genres in it! They are so much fun to listen and to watch :D
And last thing: they are not making the metal horns, but the Fox Sign :)
1997 was from the name of the concert. It refers to the year Su Metal was born. Concert was from 2013
"This is a huge crowd!"
I say wait for Tokyo Dome.
Been a BM fan for 6 years. They were able to blend Jpop and Jmetal together fairly well which made them stood out imo. Catch Me If You Can and Karate are awesome if you get a chance to listen to them. Another great band to listen to is Band-Maid.

@@THEDavidHeretic Nice.
I cant wait :)))
i know at first its like wtf? but trust me babymetal is amazing music
Hahahaha I like how you reacted. But based on your personality I wouldn't suggest you to check out "Gimme Chocolate" as your first Babymetal song. I might suggest "Rondo of nightmare", "Sis Anger" or "Road of Resistance" because I think this would fit your taste.
"Rondo Of Nightmare" and "Road Of Resistance" are both already in the que, added your name to the requesters.
This seems like a classic example of someone seeing “Gimme Chocolate” and kinda writing them off as a gimmick or a joke. Don’t do that. Go check out their live performances of “Headbanger (Legend 1997)” or “Road of Resistance” and see how you feel.
Edit: okay, maybe “write them off” is a bit of an exaggeration, but this performance certainly isn’t the best example. They don’t have their live band here and the supporting singers aren’t live here either. You gotta see a proper live performance by them.
Cryptic: the supporting singers aren't live here either. You gotta see a proper live performance by them.
Also Cryptic: recommends Headbanger from Legend 1997

Please add to your queue Babymetal - Akatsuki (Budokan black night). That’s one of the showcases of Su-metal’s (main vocalist) voice.

First of all I'm not a fan of this band, I mean I like a lot of their songs but it's not like I'm their hugest follower, but this is a great concept.
And I want to say that I really appreciate how open you are to get your mind changed. A lot of people is really close to what they expect from music, so props to you for being so sincere and specific. It really shows how much you care about music, greetings from Argentina dude!
I second the suggestions of "Headbanger" and "Road of Resistance". The former will convince you of Su's vocals and the pure joy they are spreading, the second will make you a fan. I have been a metalhead all my life, and I have come to realize pretty quickly that the choreographed dancing adds a whole lot to the entertainment value. It's not for everybody, I wouldn't want to see Metallica do it, but it absolutely makes the package more complete and goes a long way to hype up the crowd.
Their catalogue is very diverse, you'll find a lot of different genres and subgenres of Metal mixed together. It never gets boring. And the actual live band is beyond any doubt. I have never had more fun than with this band!
Both songs are already in the que, added your name to the requesters.
Gimme Chocolate is the hook, Road of Resistance is the catch.
The Live concerts are some of the best energetic and positive Metal you'll see in a long time.
As an old Metalhead, I remember the days of going to Iron Maiden, Metallica and all the other good bands playing Live, having fun, meeting fans.
This band brought that all back to me after 15 years of waiting for something new that's really worth seeing live !! :)
The band's early years in Sakura Gakuin are more kawaii-pop musically, but don't get fooled. It's the same production team, a bunch of Metalheads who stopped making Metal Music and looked to where the big market was at in Japan in 2010. So they made, engineered and produced the pop-songs, formed Babymetal and brought the Metal back to a bigger audience. First Japan and then the World. Respect and many thanks !! :)
The people who request a band and don't give a link are probably the people who complain the loudest if you choose the wrong song or wrong version.
That's why I insist on links being provided for official requests on the Patreon page. So that way I use the exact video that they specifically requested without any confusion. Unless that video get taken down, or for some other reason. then I have to use my own best guess....which I'm honestly batting about 0.500 at the moment.
First time I saw this video I was confused lol. As I saw more videos and listen to more songs and dived deeper into the Fox Hole I grew to really enjoy them. Their Headbanger Live Legend 1997 was the 3rd song I heard and that hooked me. The Road of Resistance live in Japan got me hooked even more. Then there is Babymetal Death Live Legend 1997 which I sat their speechless and enjoyed every sec of it lol. One of the many things I enjoy about them is you never know what your going to get with each of their songs. They can be very Jpop and then next song Death Metal. The Kami band playing behind them are fabulous. Their live versions for me are always the best.You should try to Keep watching more songs by them and get a better feel. There is also Baby metal video guides out there if you really want to jump down the Fox hole and learn about their origins. They are a very interesting combination of genre that some how works .They been around now over 10 years.
Not a huge fan of baby metal, but I gotta say, that I like the energy... Also I like megitsune, which has the traditional Japanese melody part in it.

Fun coming back and watching this again 7 months later now that you have seen about 6 or so more songs from BABYMETAL. Funny how you started this one off sooooooo confused and almost angry. Then warmed up more and more. You can't help but appreciate what these girls can bring to the stage.
Throw in the Kami Band and they can create the perfect storm. Again, funny seeing you almost angry and then seeing you get emotional serval times in your later reactions to this amazing and unique band.
And you still have sooooo much more ahead of you. Muahahaha 🤘🦊🤘
Its actually awesome to see how u slowly warmed up to them in this reaction vid. Right on dude!
Road Of Resistance and Karate both with original lineup. Probably one of the best performance I have seen for ages.

Your 10 years late to the party but it's never too late to go down the fox hole. BABYMETAL is not for everyone but if you want the best live show around and want to have fun in your life then you have come to the right place. I'm an old metal head from way back and this is my favorite band ever. Hope you stick around and explore BABYMETAL some more. 🤘😷👍
Loved this reaction. Your initial reaction is classic Babymetal - Gimme Chocolate (confusion / WTF). But you obviously have an open mind and an honest musical appreciation especially for craft and production. I'd love to see your 2nd (hmmm sounds pretty good) -3rd BM exposure (they're addiciting!). That's usually when the fox hole gets ya. :)
I've done 9 reactions to them so far....feel free to watch them at your leisure.
Yes Babymetal is huge not just in Japan but all over the world I got into Babymetal in 2016 the video you watched that show was in 2013 the girls are adults now unfortunately one of them isn't in the band anymore but the band is still going strong their last album Metal Galaxy came out in 2019 a Babymetal concert is on my bucket list
The best Metal song ever about eating too much chocolate. 🦊🤘🤘🦊 Not sure if they're Metal? Have a look at the final song from this concert, 'BABYMETAL Death', which is as Metal a finish to a show as anything I've seen Metallica, Maiden or Rammstein do! It is the opposite end of the Babymetal spectrum from Gimmie Chocolate but is still representative of how well this genre that their producer invented, Kawaii Metal (Cute Metal), really works. I began my Metal journey seeing Sabbath in 1976 and it temporarily ended when I saw Babymetal in Feb 2020 and I'm sure you'll 'get it' with another song or two.
