Ten years have passed since this concert was held, and Su will celebrate her 26th birthday as a metal goddess a month later.
Great reaction. There can't be many bands who would crucify their lead singer on stage to celebrate her 16th birthday (Legend 1997 was the title of the show celebrating her 16th birthday in December 2013).
This was 3 months before they released their first album .... and from just 18 months or so before where they played their first solo headline show in a venue with a capacity of 150 they were able to sell out this venue (Makuhari Messe) with about 9,000 fans.
At the risk of repeating what you have probably been told already, I will try to explain what was actually happening.
There is an English translation of the intro video in the description which would have helped a bit (perhaps) with understanding what was happening:
"Legend 1997.
It is told that receiving the legendary neck brace from the god of Metal,
she shall abandon her human life and be reborn as a goddess.
The bloodline which has been passed down from ancient times
is destined to be the guide, boarding the ark of time.
The apocalypse is prophesied
DOOMSDAY comes
There remains ... little time ..."
Basically this show was the final step in BABYMETAL transitioning from Idol group sub-unit (it had this narrative running all the way through and even started with a lip-synced dance remix of their song 'Headbanger') to independent metal band - it was also Su-metal's final step in her transition from J-Pop Idol - she was sacrificing her human existence and life as Suzuka Nakamoto, a J-Pop Idol, to be reborn as Su-metal, a Metal Goddess chosen to lead the Metal Resistance.
'BABYMETAL Death' was the first track on the first album and was most often used as the show opener (without the crucifixion) - it is the perfect introduction - that is what the lyrics are:-
"B-A-B-Y-M-E-T-A-L Death Death Death Death Death Death. Su-metal death. Yuimetal death. Moametal death. BABYMETAL death. Death Death Death Death Death Death."
It is a play on words. There is no 'TH' sound in Japanese, so to a Japanese speaker the English word death sounds like desu (the U is silent) spoken with a slight lisp. Desu means "To be - I am - you are - we are - it is" etc ... so in Japan you might introduce yourself as "D Music Life desu" (We are D Music Life).
All they were doing throughout the song was introducing themselves by name and introducing BABYMETAL by name - and 'death' is just the sort of thing you'd expect to be chanted by any self respecting metal band and their audience while the lead singer is crucified.
There were a couple of homages in this performance too. The opening drum riff is an homage to Metallica's 'One' and the statue crumbling at the end pays homage to Metallica's Justice For All tour of 1989 where they also had a statue (Lady Justice) crumble at the end of their shows. The neck brace is a tribute to X Japan drummer/pianist/songwriter/composer Yoshiki who damaged his neck so badly headbanging that he had to wear a neck brace a lot of the time, especially when performing.
On special occasions 'BABYMETAL Death' was used later in the show - it was the finale here at Legend 1997, the show celebrating Su-metal's 16th birthday ... and they only crucify Su on special occasions. The last time with these sort of theatrics was at Legend S, Baptism XX in December 2017 to help her celebrate her 20th birthday - and that one had extra flames.
My man
Blessings from the Fox God!
Great reaction! The double-kick drums at the start is a tribute to Metallica's "One" as well as the statue crumbling at the end, a nod to Metallica's Lady Justice statue. The neckbrace is homage to X-Japan's Drummer/Pianist/Songwriter who had to wear one to prevent aggravating a neck injury because he headbanged so hard while performing.
"BABYMETAL DEATH" is typically an opening number that is just the girls introducing themselves to the audience. They say. "Su-metal desu...Yuimetal desu...Moametal desu....BABYMETAL desu" while spelling out BABYMETAL and chanting in between. Desu means "I am/You are/we are" (the U is not pronounced) and sounds so much like death and the Japanese love their plays on words.
After Yui left the song was essentially broken and no longer performed. Instead it was replaced by the shorter "BABYMETAL DEATH Shin Version", "Future Metal" and "In The Name Of" as show openers.
Now that Momometal is officially part if the group, "BABYMETAL DEATH" has been ressurected and the ladies are introducing themselves again at the start of every show with "Su-metal desu... Moametal desu....Momometal desu"!
🤘🦊🤘
Ok, we Crucified our queen on her 16th birthday ! She got better, and she became a Metal Goddess as fortold in Legend she would sacrifice herself in order to save Metal ( as narrated at begaining) .
#notacult, why would anyone think that 🙄🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
😂 🦊🤘
I’ve got to say, the Japanese know how to throw a birthday party! My 16th celebration was nothing like this. I’m sure someone is going to cover the word, “desu,” and the homages to Metallica and X-Japan. I don’t want to repeat it, but will cover it if not done in a while.
Many people say Babymetal became global sensation after their Sonisphere performance, and its true but this performance of Babymetal Death is what legetimised Babymetal as bonafide metal band. The aura here is just something else.
I can’t imagine what the people at Sonisphere must have felt like when they went back home and started looking more into Babymetal just to come across this. The sheer level of “What the fuck!?” factor probably changed the scene out there permanently.
NOONE does what BABYMETAL is doing..at least not close to BABYMETAL's level. Their work ethic and music production is next level genius, and has been since day 1 even before their agency finally started putting money into the group. 🤘🦊🤘
death of pop idol, birth of metal queen
I appreciate that! Bad ass Song and video!
Jpop is pretty good tho. Some of the Vocaloid inspired Jpop is lit. Like Yoasobi and Ado. Yoasobi got age restricted on CZcams because their lyrics were so dark. That is pretty metal. Yoasobi is playing at the Bring Me the Horizon festival with Babymetal, Hanabie and Maximum the Hormone.
Headbanger and BxMxC was what hooked me, but this performance solidified my place among The One. Like you I learned a lot from the comments about the background of this song and performance and sense then I had a pretty good idea of what Babymetal was about. I guess why many wanted you to wait a while on this one is because it is probably one of their best performances and should stay that way. It was a special moment in history for the group and shouldn’t be something witnessed by anyone the fans know aren’t going to appreciate it. I have seen some people shit on Babymetal on this platform (CZcams) and I have never seen anyone recommend this as a means of “convincing” someone to change their mind. Not to say there aren’t some fans that would. But I feel plenty of hardcore fans treat this performance as something sacred. Even I am hesitant to share this with friends unless I feel they would be open enough to have their minds blown.
After becoming a fan this year and finding out they re-debuted this year as well with a new member and started performing this song as their opener once more, I HAD to see them at all costs, which I did on this most recent tour.
Right on brother
This song is usually played at beginning the show. It's them introducing themselves. A play on words. Des I believe is what they say which sounds like death. Sumetal des. Which means I am Sumetal. BabyMetal des. We are BabyMetal. The crowd spells out BabyMetal and then chants death. This show they played it at the end. It was Su 16th bday. She sacrificed her idol self to become a metal goddess. Something along those lines haha. BabyMetal has a lot of lore that goes with the band. Usually when they play this there is no crucifixion. When they sold out Tokyo dome two nights in a row. One of the shows they started off with this song and all three girls came up out of parts of the stage on crosses. Hearing that whole crowd chant death was amazing. But yes killer way to end a show. Then the statue head falling away like the statue on Metallica and justice for all tour. It was their tip of the hat to Metallica. I'm pretty sure I explained it right if not sure someone on here will know more. Lol. Anyway Bud. Great reaction. Correction from what I read below it is actually Desu.
Awesome
They know how to start a show for sure. Nothing like getting you hyped TF up right out of the gate. They actually stopped doing this when Yui left, but brought it back for their latest tour after making Momo an official member. Check out "In the name of" as well. It's what they did for an intro when Yui left.
Another great reaction, thanks!
Nothing to see here. Just Su-metal celebrating her 16th birthday with her friends and some of their fans (like 9.000 of them) all chanting DEATH! DEATH! DEATH! DEATH!... haha... 😁
Now seriously, this is from the concert Legend 1997 (SU-METAL seitan sai) aka SU-METAL's 16th birthday party and took place on December 21st, 2013 at the Makuhari Messe event hall in Chiba (Greater Tokyo Area).
Song's name is "BABYMETAL Death" and it's a play on words, actually. I'll tell you why. Lyrics are quite simple: "B-A-B-Y-M-E-T-A-L" "SU-METAL desu", "YUIMETAL desu", "MOAMETAL desu", "BABYMETAL desu" "Death death death death death death..." etc Desu (the U is silent so it sounds like the English word "death", and means "I am, you are, we are". So, they are basically introducing themselves. This is (again) usually an opening song for obvious reasons, but this time they used it as a closing number. The meaning of the whole thing is the sacrifice of SU-METAL, giving up her mortal life as a human and Idol to reborn as a metal goddess.
The beat on the intro and the final statue crumbling are homages to Metallica. The neckbrace thing is an homage to X-Japan's Yoshiki Hayashi who had to wear one (even during concerts) due to the injuries caused for headbanging excessively.
Until next time!
🤘🦊
Awesome! A few fun facts about this concert:
Dec 2013 concert celebrating Su-metal’s 16th birthday. She is the Legend, born in 1997. This was when Babymetal just got big in Japan, but not yet overseas.
Lore: Fox God summons Babymetal to revitalize the “Heavy Metal Spirit” by infiltrating the big bad Idol Industry, the oppressors of metal.
In her fight, Su-metal sacrifices her own life as mortal and idol to be reborn a goddess of metal.
This was the closer of a 14 song concert. First 9 songs played to tracks and fake band in skeleton costumes. The 5 song encore brought on the real band, the Kami Band. Headbanger was song 12 of setlist, followed by an emotional ballad, ending with BABYMETAL DEATH.
Lyrics: Desu (silent U) means “I am / We are”, e.g., Babymetal Desu = “We are Babymetal”. Their “punny”, cute, and metal way of an introduction song (in this case a closer).
🤘🦊🤘🦊
The death of an idol princess and the rebirth of our metal Goddess, long live Queen Su-metal 🦊🤘
Even though I must have watched this hundreds of times and even have the whole concert on DVD, I felt tears in my eyes when I watched this reaction.
I'm so glad this is being played in the European tour and I will finally experience it live in Munich next week.
If you watch this whole concert, you may decide this must have been the most fun show in history. It's a mindblow!
haha knew this one would be a good react for you. I discovered them just over a year ago and had the same reactions. :)
Legend 1997, It's the best concert I've ever seen. I recomended you see other songs of this show. Headbanger, Megitsune, Iine.
The statue crumbling at the end is an homage to Metallica's "...And Justice For All" and the neckbrace is an homage to Japanese metal group, X Japan, whose drummer had to wear a neckbrace because he injured it from headbanging too much! 🤘🦊🤘
Nice reaction!! I see plenty have already provided information about this song.
If you like the heavier stuff, then you will like Sis Anger. That song is performed by Yui and Moa only (also known as Black BABYMETAL) which is fitting for this song as it leans heavily on the Black Metal side. 😁
You haven't done "Road of Resistance" live in Japan yet? How is that possible? Maybe the time has come?
Love your reaction!
I think every comment hit on the meaning in some way. Su-metal evolved from princess to Queen. I commented before that a true understanding is a trip down the Fox hole. This group has an amazing history and no end in sight.
An interesting take posted on BABYMETAL REDDIT by VulpineDeity:
Take it a step farther. Not only does 'SU-METAL DESU' mean she's introducing herself, it's also her super-hero transformation phrase.
Like on Sailor Moon, Usagi says 'Moon Prism Power!' and turns into Sailor Moon, Suzuka Nakamoto shouts 'I AM SU-METAL' and becomes possessed by the spirit of the Fox God and transforms into the Metal Goddess SU-METAL.
The magical girl who transforms into a hero is a huge trope in Japan, comparable to Disney princesses in the west. BABYMETAL DEATH! follows the trope and it's the moment that they all transform into their magical alter egos at the start of the show.
🦊 🖖 ❤
Another great reaction , and yes it does get better you have just started the journey down the Fox 🦊hole
It was awesome seeing BMD performed on their recent North American tour - a great intro for some on the Dethklok fans who don’t know much about BM.
Thanks for the reaction - lots more to experience! 🦊🤘
I went for Babymetal and got introduced to Dethklok. They are brutal!
Since you've seen how they celebrated Su's 16th, you should checkout In The Name Of from Legend S XX Baptism concert, to see how they celebrated her 20th. 😂😂😁😁🤘🦊🤘
The best opener ever. It was insane lol
The Fox God has sacrificed a J-pop idol and reborn into a metal goddess queen. We've been blessed by Kitsune-sama.🙌
-NotACult- 🦊🤘💀
Just to be clear, song title is "Babymetal Death" not "Death" alone, it's usually a common mistake due to the title of the uploader.
This is another song they brought back to live concerts in this World Tour 2023 as an opener after 2017 (when YuiMetal was still in the group) and fans are really glad with this come back, although here they're using as an ender as part of this special event.
Song is heavy but wait until you hear Babymetal Death Shin Ver. from Budokan 2021 or "Sis Anger" to decide which one is heavier. You can find the kamishibai (narrated intro) translated in the description box if you're watching GuilhermeCait clip.
If you're a Metallica fan you can spot the beggining riffs of _"One"_ song, as well of the -"virgen mary"- image behind (it's not, it's SuMetal resembles and Lady Justice Metallica tribute, even statue crumbling down is an homage) they're truly BM sensei and they support the group too. Our girls said this is one of the most physical demanding song, and you can see the reason why, they normally used this song as an opener and a way to warm up for next performances, in this rare exception this was at the end of the show, an epic finale.
This was during SuMetal 16th birthday, the same place you probably saw at Gimme Chocolate!! MV and she was sacrificed as a j-pop idol and reborn as a metal goddess queen, the Fox God has bless all of us. -NotACult- 👀
The neckbrace is part of BM lore and you can see it first during Headbanger!! official MV, Yoshiki (pianist and drummer on X-Japan) suffer serious injuries during a live concert while headbanging so hard (this was way back before BabyMetal was even created), after that he needs to use neckbrace to avoid doing that movement, he still playing and being active, he's a living legend.
They are singing their names as a way to introduce themselves in japanese way but with the pun intended play of words: "SuMetal desu" means "I'm SuMetal" but she is trying to say "SuMetal death", same for the rest of girls with their respective names, and the rest of the song is:
"B - A - B -Y - M - E - T - A - L DEATH! DEATH! DEATH! DEATH!"
Back then when doing promotional, TV interviews and introducing they did it the same way, you can look for a long vid with all these clips of them saying this kawaii introduction. They were taught to say "th" of "death" word by bitting their tonges at the end to pronounce this the right way, but they added a wink looking like this 😜
You'll see many Japanese fans ended their sentences and comments with "death" to remember this, unlike western fans like me. Btw it's been long since they didn't that introduction and during recent interview at "Fox 5" we saw the intro once again and with MomoMetal this time
During an interview KobaMetal (the producer behind BM) said that when he was travelling for concerts abroads around 2015 he came to know a band like Ghosts and he was interested in discover that band doing the almost same thing they're were doing theatrically and artistically, so anyone thinking those bands are satanic and such they're just saying nonsenses, they're just doing a show in which they're playing a role, and in order to be convincent (like an actor in a movie film) they need to perform their part like they're mean it, and the audience must be part of it and they're an important ingredient because other way it wouldn't work. That's why we said all the time "notacult", unless you actually are or want to feel part of it. ;)
Oh and just a note aside for anyone thinking this is disrespectful to western religion and whatnot, is not! KobaMetal explained he needed to make a bridge between fans and them so they can familiarizing with the BM concept with images the fans already knew, in this case he used the Neon Genesis Evangelion anime series as a drive vehicule which is heavily influenced by christianity, kabbalah, gnosticism and even islam symbolism, imagery and iconography, the plot on this was never took as a blasphemy for any religion and it was mostly used for aesthetic reasons, same for BabyMetal, it was used to represent the "Death and Rebirth" concept of SuMetal own role persona while having a bridge between fantasy and reality, the reality is she decided to end up her idol career (death) with Sakura Gakuin and commit herself to this new rol (rebirth) as a metal queen for BabyMetal.
Sorry if this sound as a rant but i just keep seeing BM fans and general people who still don't get it.
Like i said they brought back this song at PIA Arena MM and now with MomoMetal being officially part of the group and also was the intro for every setlist at the Babyklok Tour in the US and now with the EU and UK Tour. You can enjoy tons of fancams around or the live proshot at PIA Arena MM, i think NLMetal got that clip.
Anyway thanks for sharing this and see you next time 🦊🤘💀
I LOVE seeing someone watch BABYMETAL for the first time & realizing just how amazing they are live. The entire show is nonstop this level of energy. The Fox God welcomes you with open arms.
And there are still people who say BABYMETAL are not "metal" They are magnificent.
Babymetal is not a metal band = true. Babymetal is not metal = false.
A Reeces Peanut Butter cup is not peanut butter. But it contains peanut butter.
@@Arigator2 Not a metal band ? wait what ?! the Kami Band behind the three is totally part of BM, not just some random musicians, at this point you can also say Ozzy Osbourne is not a metal band. BM is not just Su, Yui (now Momo) et Moa, it's a group.
Hm... no it's a Metal Band ! deal with it.
@RionaSL Only Suzuka, Yui, Moa and Momoko have ever been official members. If you want to have some head canon then go ahead. I like a lot of different music including metal. I think it's nether good or bad to be a metal band. I am a huge fan of Babymetal. Whether or not someone is a metal band doesn't determine if will like their music.
Others will explain better how the queen dies and reborn as a goddess. But it's remarkable how Babymetal writes its own legend, and how its history is marked by these great moments, like so many victorious battles...one day, we'll make a movie about the Babymetal saga.
😂😂😂 hahaha, I watched this 20 times over the first time to make sure it was real
This was the #01 track on their debut album in 2014, when the girls were 14-16 years old. Imagine that.
And the song had its debut at Rock-May-Kan in Tokyo on July 21st, 2012.
Su was 14, and Yui and Moa had just turned 13.
Su-Metal sacrificed the young j-pop idol self - to resurrect as our Metal Queen!
All hail Queen Su-Metal
You *were* ready :)
Another great reaction, thanks! Looking forward to the next one!
Still my favorite Babymetal video on YT. It's not even possible to explain it to someone who hasn't seen it.
From the guitar riffs in the beginning to the destruction of the statue on stage at the end, you can tell that Metallica's And Justice For All was a big influence on the group!
no one is ever ready for this one lol
Not too many bands can get away with crucifying their lead singer - and on her sixteenth birthday, no less! I truly love everything about BM.
Now, you should react to Road of Reaction Live in Japan (official), to see what they can do with a crowd...
People should quit requesting ancient videos when we have recent performances that are superior.
Road of Resistance (not Reaction) 🤘🦊🤘
Please react to babymetal-line
Nice reaction again!
Epic metal theater with these girls all the time. That's how you close an epic show!
Sooner or later you should go for one of the Babymetal guides, I would recommend the long one.
Hope you enjoy the whole foxhole journey!
Kitsune dao!
Darkness is visiting me...
Love their legend shows! This is their opening song if you see them live, Its like their introduction and look how fired up that crowd is already!. I am not sure if they have done it already or not, but I heard they are gonna have a Momometal Legend show soon. I cant wait to see it. Another great reaction!
Great reaction lol. The birth of a metal goddess This is the best closing of a concert I have ever seen. Truly epic. If you get a chance you should check out the whole concert. It’s all on CZcams. The theme of this concert was the transformation of Su going from j pop idol l to a metal goddess
#notacult
Nice reaction, this song was used as opener for many concerts, but here it is the last song. Su-metal has been crucified in different occasions.
BTW the name of the song is "BABYMETAL DEATH", not just "DEATH".
If you want to see one of these spectacles you'll need to go to Japan. Next March is when they'll have the Legend MM shows celebrating Momo's birthday
I just love how you get the full force of almost every Babymetal song right after the start.
Usually less than 30 seconds pass. Bloody hell, I love it.
And by the way, a little recommendation:
MAN WITH A MISSION×milet - 絆ノ奇跡 / THE FIRST TAKE
Wagakki Band - 焔 (Homura) + 暁ノ糸 (Akatsuki no Ito) / 1st JAPAN Tour 2015 Hibiya Yagai Ongakudo
I love Babymetal, but Japan has even more to offer. :D
Greetings from Germany. :D
No one is ever ready for this song... Even on the second and third viewing Lol... Babymetal awesomeness!!!
B-A-B-Y-M-E-T-A-L deaattthhh!
BABYMETAL FOREVER
🤘🤘🤘
Totally not a cult. Then again, if it was, I'd join! 🤣 Saw them live a few months ago. It was amazing!
They sacraficed the J Pop queen to the fox god, and he returned the metal goddess
And now it's time for ...drum roll stage left and right hi and low ;;;HEAD BANGYA INTRO NIGHT OF 15 MIX...the full 9 minutes plus one that as Ewok Lloyd Womble sobbing in it's paws ...NOT A CULT
この曲から始まるのがライブの定番でした。1997はSU-METALが生まれた年で、これは生誕祭ライブです。
#notacult 🤘🦊🤘
Not many know, that this song is called "Death" cuz it will KILL you...(just kidding). Greets from Germany as always!
NOT A CULT! 🤘🦊🤘
It's not a cult... Actually, it is and I couldn't be happier to be a part of it.
If i could go back in time just once this concert is where i would go so i could witness the birth of the metal goddess,i was fortunate enough to have been at Sonisphere in the UK where they opened with this and won over 55000 metalheads who had no idea who they were.
🦊
This is the day #Notacult was born.
Excelente !! BabyMetal Desu !!! Bravooo !!! All is a Tribute : Alice Cooper , Kiss , Iron Maiden , Slipknot...Even a cartoon ; Scaredy Cat (1948) by Chuck Jones ,Merry Melodies . PorkyPig & Silvestre v/s death rat.
Translation to the opening monologue:-
メタルの魂を守るため
自らの命と引き換えに戦った
In order to defend the soul of the Metal,
in exchange for her own life, Su-Metal fought.
やがて SU-METALの魂は
紅の炎となり
Before long, SU-METAL's soul
became the crimson flame
天空を紅く染めたのであった
and dyed the sky crimson.
だが 遠くの星が消えゆくように
However, as the distant stars go out,
命の終焉はこの世の理なのだ
the end of life is the law of nature.
今紅き月がSU-METALと共に燃えゆく• • •
Now the crimson moon is burning out with SU-METAL.
Often used for opening up every BABYMETAL Concert, now they switch to Metal Galaxy "In The Name Of" on special occasion.

The Destruction Of The Statue is similar to Metallica Justice for All live concert in Mexico City, Mexico 🇲🇽.
The Japanese word "desu" (です) is a copula (= to be). The Eastern Japanese almost drop "u" of this word, so the word "desu/des" sounds like "death". And someone started writing "DEATH" instead of "です" (desu). It makes sense only where the Japanese word "desu" is expected to come. The title "BABYMETAL DEATH" means only "We are BABYMETAL." No relation to the death itself.
I'm not sure of its origin, but I saw long before such a character as a vampire or a death metal singer in a comic and all his "です" (desu) were replaced with "DEATH" to emphasize his character. With such an air, it works well. Without such an air, it probably doesn't work.
There is a genre named "Death Metal". The sound of this tune seems to fall within that genre, and the lyric writer may have put many "DEATH"s to emphasize the Death-Metal-ness. It might be alright to use many "DEATH"s without thinking of death if some of Death Metal bands also chose their style just to differentiate themselves rather than driven by the feeling about death. But I don't know the Death Metal well.
MAKUHARI MESSE:-
Makuhari Messe (幕張メッセ) is a Japanese convention center outside Tokyo, located in the Mihama-ku ward of Chiba city, in the northwest corner of Chiba prefecture. Designed by Fumihiko Maki, it is accessible by Tokyo's commuter rail system. Makuhari is the name of the area, and Messe is a German language word meaning "trade fair".
•Owner: Makuhari Messe, Inc.
•Opened: 9 October 1989.
•Expanded: October 1997.
•Classroom-style seating: 304 (International Conference Room).
•Banquet/ballroom: 1,600 (Convention Hall).
•Theatre seating: 7,860 (Makuhari Event Hall).
Makuhari Messe is close to Tokyo Disney Resort in Urayasu, and to Chiba prefecture's black sand beaches. It is accessible from Kaihimmakuhari station on the Keiyō Line of East Japan Railway Company (JR East). The center is the host of the annual Tokyo Auto Salon (modified car show, in January), the biennial Tokyo Motor Show (in October), the annual Tokyo Game Show (video game hardware and software exhibition, in September), the annual Jump Festa (manga, anime, and video game exposition, in December), and the biannual Wonder Festival (toys, scale figures, and garage kits exposition, in February and July). The venue was host to several Nintendo Space World events.
It will be the venue for certain sports during the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Kitsune Up 🦊🦊🦊🤘🤘🤘🇯🇵🇸🇬#notacult.
loved it a super lot. unmatchable level of quality. 🤘I'm now eagerly waiting for your reaction to October Ends ' new song!
Imagining being at that show and they close the night like that!
Back in those days, there was always speculation and rumors that they were breaking up or replacing the lead singer.
Looking back on it, i think it was manufactured hype from their genius marketing team. But still... They killed the lead singer and the house went black. End of show.
I could feel your emotion at the end; I couldn't imagine being there live for that ...
If you get a chance to watch the Legend 1997 show start to finish, that finale will hit you even harder.
one of my fav performances!! you should check out sis anger since you liked how the instruments sounded in this one so much, its one of four songs where it just moa and yui!
The only concert I've seen that was better than Babymetal in Japan was Metallica in Moscow right after the fall of the Soviet Union. That was absolutely insane.
Judging by video of course. :)
Totally recommend checking out Death (shin version). Trust me the riff sounds so much more evil.
🤘🦊🤘
Time spent at ASH (Actors School of Hiroshima) served them well in this performance. They are truly literally as professional as it gets.
👍👍 👏👏👏

I've this show on dvd and this is my favourite show what you see on stage is what you see through the entire show the energy and the theatrics are amazing.
Watching the videos are amazing themselves, but it doesn’t compare to actually experiencing it!
I know I saw them in london last year awesome night.
You've already gotten the 1997 connection. But another set of references in the show is to the 1997 anime feature film "Evangelion: Death & Rebirth" from Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise. Indeed, Su- sings a cover of Tamashii no Refuran (Soul's Refrain), the theme from the OST. A one-off performance well worth watching.
You're never ready for babymetal, thats the beauty of it🥰 their crowd control is one of a kind
3:18 and 4:00 was my reaction also😂 7:20 is the mental part❤
This is the best show intro of all the world!!! Babymetal death!!!!
this is the most metal sht ive seen so far, Su hanging on the cross while the crowd is chanting death all over😮💨
#NotACult So many great things about this performance. It was at one time the opening song at concerts which would hype up the crowd. In this case, it was the transformation of Su-Metal from a pop singer to a Metal Goddess (on her 16th birthday). So much fun.
Hi Mr. Real McCoy, this was fun! Have you done Gimme Chocolate yet? I was looking for it. It’s goofy and has incredible riffs…nicely combined as usual…so good. 😀👍
Or if you were ever a Judas Priest or Rob Halford fan, this one is fun! czcams.com/video/KG_fqkyJ-wo/video.htmlsi=VhUfz9zLqjLL5MaK
I haven't yet, I can do that one very soon! 👍
It is 2 AM here and I need sleep (nothing new for me) and your reactions are making it all worthwhile
So.. There is some clever word play here.
In Japanese, you say SuMetal Desu (I am SuMetal) Desu sounds like Dess, which we hear as Death!
They are simply chanting BABYMETAL Desu! (We are BABYMETAL!) but it sounds like BABYMETAL Death!
Cool ha?
Watch again and listen - you’ll hear it!
Cheers from Australia. 🇦🇺
#notacult 😉
This is the song they started their recent concerts with, albeit a shorter version.
Their energy is unmatched!
I guess you're fully initiated now 🙂
Awesome!!!
Great reaction mate
10年も前に15才前後の小女達の、パフォーマンスで、会場は、この有り様､､､､😅
Read the videos description. Tells you all you need to know.
How ur experience when 16th birthday party ?
My band sacrificed me, and we're yelling with thousand people
The neck brace is a tribute to the headbanger music video
😁😁😁🤘🤘🤘
Love the statue being destroyed at the end. I think Metallica did the same thing years ago. This is a concent you would be kicking yourself in the ass if you had a chance to see it and missed it. Call in to work with a severe case of death. This is the moment queen su becomes the goddess

You should have shown them the video, then they would have joined the cult, sorry not a カルト 💀
@@seregamolodets5286 謝ることはありません。これは、ショーに見せ掛けてKOBA が🕶️ 仕組んだ巧妙なカルトdeath💀w ところで、私達がもし同級生だったら、どうやって先生にこのビデオを見せられるか、二人で悪巧みしていた事でしょう😏😛
@@salesiocaritas8400 Oh yea we would figure it out really fast and make teacher show it to the whole class. More members for the cult, damn, i mean not a cult just an after school activity.

教師は激怒するでしょうけど、イエスさんだったら爆笑してくれると思います🤭
Imagine you're going to a concert and it starts with 3 young girls walking down the stage and you're like "wtf ? ... this a joke ?".
Then the riffs and chant start.
One generation had a singer bite the head off a bat on stage. We have 14 year old girls crucifying their singer on the stage.
🤘🇺🇦🤘
