Check out the original video here:
• BABYMETAL 'The Trilogy... - Hudba
RIP Mikio! BABYMETAL are on another level!
😢
Yes, this was an emotional performance
😭😭😭😭😭😭
Just.. something.. in my eye 😭
Who am I kidding, the trilogy gets me everytime.
Thanks for the reaction amd kudos for checking out the context first, many reactors miss out the rich tapestry of Babymetal
❤🦊🤘
Honestly same 😭 This was a powerful performance 🤟🦊
They actually performed both Starlight and Arkadia during Legend MM Day 21 (Momometal’s Birthday). And the addition of Momometals background vocals just makes the songs even better.
Arkadia was the perfect ending to the Legend MM because it personified Momo’s journey prior to joining BABYMETAL. She endured a few failures along the way but kept positive and never gave up. And now she’s touring the world, living her dream.
Lol Haha
Truly amazing story! I love that Momo metal is achieving her dreams 😁🤟🦊
It might also be a reference to the Legend M show, Moa's 20th birthday show, that also ended with Arkadia.
Starlight is my favorite underrated Babymetal song
I agree! I was blown away by Starlight 😁🤟🦊
Nice reaction :) You should really check out the Legend M version of Shine with just Su, Moa and the guitar on the stage. It's extraordinary and heartbreaking at the same time
Thanks so much for the suggestion! I will have to check that out for sure 😁🤟🦊
Thanks for the great reaction. When I became a BABYMETAL fan, neither Mikio nor Yui were around anymore. I have bought and watched all of BABYMETAL's DVDs and Blu-rays and discovered Mikio's amazing guitar technique Yui's performance and popularity. These three songs make me cry. It is inspiring and positive.🎸🦊🍅 One last thing: "The trilogy of lights is beautiful."
Hey thanks for stopping by! I agree, during my journey I have been getting to know their amazing abilities. This was a truly heartfelt performance 🤟🦊
@@JasonsSongStop Just the scene where you are reading the lyrics makes me cry.😢❤
@@yunametal344 Aww thanks so much!
Great reaction! WOW! I just went on an emotional roller coaster! I've never read the complete lyrics to all 3 songs at the same time, so hearing the lyrics of each song in sequence really painted a picture for me. I went from almost crying out of sadness over Mikio's passing then eventually getting goosebumps multiple times from Arkadia's epic sound and it's feeling of hope. THIS is the proper way to experience all 3 songs because when done this way, Arkadia really hits you hard in the face because you don't expect it. 🤘🦊🤘
I am so glad you got to have such a great experience! I felt the same, the 3 songs together painted such a perfect dedication performance for Mikio. And then ended on a hopeful feeling with Arkadia. Well done 😁🤟🦊
THE MASTERPIECE of Babymetal. The whole misery of their misfortune in 2018, used as a marvellous inspiration to create this fantastic music. Anybody still venting their superficial crap about Babymetal , and they are, read some pretentious reviews lately here in Europe. They should be placed with their bare ass on nests of fire ants. Would do great as an additional Metal effect in their live shows. With just some red spotlights . The growling will be so very authentic. 😎😎😎
Haha that was a hilarious description 😂 This absolutely was amazing
Metal Galaxy seems to have been a very divisive album on release for fans but I think in hindsight it marked the point that Babymetal transcended what Kawaii Metal originally meant and the diversity and quality of the songs, from Da Da Dance, through Brand New Day and Night Night Burn!, BxMxC and PA PA YA, climaxing with the Trilogy Of Lights only gave us hints of where they could still go.
I think you are absolutely right! Babymetal has always proven that they can evolve and still sound amazing doing it 😀🤟🦊
Thanks for checking out these lyrics. These three songs are absolute masterpieces. I am flooded with emotion every time I hear them.
Thanks for stopping by! I agree, I can't believe how much emotion these performances brought out of me as well ❤️🤟🦊
One of the best parts of Babymetal is that they are full of surprises. 🙂
You are absolutely correct! 😁🤟🦊
Good reaction 🤘. The tribute thing is a valid interpretation, but nothing more, the band never said that.
You'd think so, it seemed so purposeful! Thanks for stopping by 😁🤟🦊
5:47 Reaction start.
Welcome back to the Foxhole 🦊🤘🌌
This Trilogy Of Lights is really something special.
It's a beautiful official set of three songs to represent the ongoing cycle of birth, death and rebirth.
The best way to experience this trilogy is after watching The One along with Tales Of The Destinies so highly suggest to come back with this trilogy after watching those songs.
You got the right order but with some live compilation, highly suggest to check the full version of Shine live at Legend M 2019, it's when the clips shows MoaMetal playing the guitar.
BM fans took this set unofficially as a tribute to Mikio Fujioka (Kami Band guitarist) passed away and YuiMetal's withdrawal both sad events in 2018, she left the group with undisclosed health reasons, although as far as we know she's fine now and she said she wants to pursue her own dreams outside of BM project, so far we don't have anymore news from her except here and there but nothing official or in public, but she certainly won't be part of this project anymore since we already have a new official member filling the third spot for this new BM era. Last June 20th was her birthday, we all wish her the best and we'll always remember everything she has done for this group, our tomato princess.🍅❤
Keep enjoying more BM songs and see you next time 🦊🤘🔥
Thank you so much for the great and informative comment! I will make sure to check out the Trilogy of Lights after The One! Babymetal has certainly overcome a lot and I hope the best for them as well 😁🤟🦊
It is songs like these that put Babymetal securely on there own level👊🏽⚡️🤘🏾🦊
R.I.P. Great guitarist Mikio🎸
@@yunametal344 🙌🎸❤️
If you think about it, this year Babymetal exists as long without Yui as she was part of it.
It's also the point where Su is part of Babymetal for half her life. Moa is already beyond that.
Time flies...
Great reaction Jason. This trilogy always brings a tear and plays with my emotions. But, in epic Babymetal fashion, they end on a high note with Arkadia and a hopeful outlook for the future. Amazing!
Do check out Shine, from Legend M on your own. That was the live debut of the song during 2019’s show for Moa’s 20th birthday. It was the special performance with the guitar center piece from the compilation.
I know Mikio is looking down upon Babymetal and jamming out with them 😢
Thank you for reacting to this amazing trilogy!!
🤘🦊
Thank you so much for your comment! I agree, this was very heartfelt. I was impressed that BABYMETAL ended the performances with the hopeful Arkadia. I will definitely check out that performance of Shine thanks! 😁🤟🦊
@@JasonsSongStop You’re welcome!
Here’s another suggestion: This was originally 1 song split into two.
*Part 1 -* _Tales of the Destinies (Tokyo Dome 2016):_ A prog metal masterpiece. Only performed live once. Copyright warnings, so may have to use a logo, but worth it.
*Part 2 -* _The One (Official Live):_ a prog metal ballad, and a tribute song to the fan base, known as “the One”.
🤘🦊
@@Ganimal83 Spot on! I think you'll be seeing this one very soon 😁🤟🦊
@@JasonsSongStop Oooo! Can’t wait haha 😆
The beginning accoustic guitar for Shine is played by Moa
Absolutely amazing job by Moa! 😁🤟🦊
you need to see on that big stage for metal galaxy concert. but you havent seen the Both sied of Kami Band do you ? so 4 Guitar, 2 Bassist, 2 Drum ? and 5 Girl on that 1 big stage playing live for RoR and Ijime Dame Zettai :))
Whoa! That's an amazing visual you just provided 😁🤟🦊
@@JasonsSongStop Check your Email with subject "BABYMETAL CONCERT VIDS"
I understand starlight is song of the initial pain of loss of someone close so it is hard hitting full in your face with the band giving it everything. Shine is the remembrance and acceptance of death with a softer side. Arkadia is the song of hope and going forwards but still remembering.
The guitar played in Shine I understand belonged to the Mikio and Moa plays this in tribute.
Wow thank you son much for this information! These songs go together so well. This made for a great dedication and honoring of Mikio
👍👍👍Awesomely awesome performances. Absolutely the best trilogy ever x 💯. 😢😢😊. 🦊 🖖❤
Yes these were amazing performances! Truly powerful and heartfelt 🤟🦊
Finally 🎉🎉
Thanks so much! I know I'm so glad I got to check this out 😁🤟🦊
@@JasonsSongStop I guess Night Night Burn is next? or Tales of Destinies and The One? 😂🤟🏻
@@user-tc4tv8bh9w Yes you are right 😁 I'll leave it at that haha
Great reaction 3 beautiful songs are very emotional, but as always, BabyMetal leaves you with a feeling of hope for the future . The way at the end of Arkidia, the music sounds like a march going on to a bright future 😁🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
You are absolutely right! This trilogy of lights was a roller coaster of emotions ending in a place of hope and remembering. Babymetal did a great job here 😁🤟🦊
@@JasonsSongStop 😁🤘🏼🦊
Kitsune up ⬆️⬆️⬆️ 🤘🤘
Absolutely 🤟Thanks for stopping by
@@JasonsSongStopanytime,bro....
noted : Trilogy Of Lights, a set of songs to represent the ongoing cycle of birth, death and rebirth, but fans took this set unofficially as a tribute to Mikio Fujioka, beloved Kami Band guitarist, and YuiMetal withdrawal after some undisclosed health reasons, both events in 2018, sadly... Mikio past at January and Yui leave BM at September.. This songs doesn't make me sad - it motivates me.
I suggest song for you Kagerou and Mirror Mirror
Look 12:20- that isn't Momo but Riho Sayashi. This was from the Avengers era. Later you can spot Kano Fujihira at 17:54 (but i guess there was a bit Momoko too, not quite sure). Sadly in this compilation you miss the start of Shine with Moa playin that acoustic guitar (but that's not 100% proofed- at least she pretends, but she can actually play guitar a bit. Guess this ones tuned so she only needed one barree finger to play the chords, not sure but i think that's a DADGAD tuning) Also its rumored that this was one of Mikio Fujioka's guitars, the guitarist that died from falling while stargazing. Greets from Germany - enjoy!
I noticed after it wasn't Momo! Haha I forgot to correct that part. Yes I heard that watching the clip with Moa playing the guitar would be cool to check out! Thanks so much for stopping by 😁🤟🦊
@@JasonsSongStop ya welcome!
😊❤
Thanks for stopping by! More BABYMETAL to come 😁🤟🦊
🤘🦊🤘
Thanks for stopping by! These were very powerful performances 😁🤟🦊
Hello, it's me again to ask you again to react to BabyMetal Tales Of destiny live (Tokyo Dome Live 2016) is that you can't miss reacting to the most progressive metal song that this band has, the great choreography, the voice and choruses and the musicians who shine extraordinarily, sorry for asking you this again, greetings. 🦊🤘
Hey thanks for stopping by! I think you'll be pretty happy with my next BABYMETAL Reaction then. Stay tuned😁🤟🦊
While the songs were written before Mikio's death, The Legend M performance of Shine was clearly a tribute.
That's what I was thinking! Very true 🤟🦊
Arkadia 🖤 🤘🦊🤘
This was absolutely amazing! 😁🤟🦊
We'll never know for certain what the trilogy really means, because Babymetal never explain what the intended interpretation of their songs is, and it's doubly difficult to know what is intended due to the difficulties of translating Japanese to English without losing some of the nuance along the way. However, the imagery used in the live performances and some of the very clear language used does strongly suggest that these songs were inspired at least to some extent by the trials Babymetal suffered in late 2017 - early 2018. Starlight was also released the same day that the announcement that Yuimetal was leaving Babymetal was made public, so that adds to the idea that the trilogy has some relation to that.
The performance of Shine at Legend M (the one with the guitar) is IMO the single best performance of a song that Babymetal has ever done. It was the world premiere live performance and it really felt like they were making a dedication in how they performed it; the way it's just Su and Moa up there with the guitar feels like such an intimate and personal performance for them.
They played Starlight and Arkadia at Legend MM in March this year, so I got to see them both live for the first time, which was a real treat because they rarely play these songs live. I didn't get to see Shine though, which is a shame because it's one of my favourite Babymetal songs.
If you get a chance, even if it's not for a video, please watch "The Hills of Wisteria", which is a song by Takayoshi Ohmura dedicated to Mikio's memory and performed by the Kami band and some of Mikio's friends from other bands - czcams.com/video/y-DHzrF0hKM/video.html
Thank you for you very informative comment! I appreciate your thoughts about the possible meaning of these songs as well as your suggestion of The Hills of Wisteria 😁🤟🦊
Brooooo... Arkadia all day!!!
Arkadia was monumental! 😁🤟🦊
Arcadia feels a lot like a song about working through the hard times and making it to the promised land...and earlier this year, after being re-born with Momo as the 3rd member and completing their grueling 23/24 tour schedule, they played it at the end of a big arena show and it felt like it had a totally different inflection...like rather than looking forward to succeeding, it felt like a hard earned victory lap instead.
Wow great description! I totally see what you're saying 😁🤟🦊
Compilation videos. Starlight was from Legend Metal Galaxy Day 2 with Riho Sayashi as the Avenger in the third spot and another show I cannot pinpoint with Momoko as the Avenger.
Shine and Arkadia were from Legend Metal Galaxy with Riho again and Legend M with Kano Fujihara as the Avenger for Arkadia. Shine at Legend M was just Su, Moa and the guitar on stage.
Personally, "From Dusk Till Dawn" would fit perfectly as a fourth track between Shine and Arkadia.
Oh wow! Thanks so much for that information! I noticed afterwards that it wasn't Momo! I had this video suggested by a commenter awhile back 😁🤟🦊
@@JasonsSongStop Don't worry, the mentioned Legend M show gets heavily blocked, you rarely find non compilation videos of that performance.
Luckily they reissue Legend M in two weeks on BD as the show was previously of very limited availability (first only for members of The One club).
There is an only slightly modified version of the Legend M Arkadia performance that is a must see as it's the last song on Moa's 20th birthday show and if you think she always looks so happy on stage, there she is extra happy when they celebrate the audience and themselves.
Arkadia is one of those songs that I wish they would take out of the drawer and perform at a festival abroad, think of the crowd.
pd: seeing riho again gives me goosebumps
Wow you are absolutely right, Arkadia would be amazing at a festival for sure! This was a great performance
🍅💀🍅
🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
I will never be able to fully enjoy this beautiful trilogy.
I'm sorry, I just can't.
'No more tears, no more pain, no more cry🎶'...
No more cry my a$$, I'm not so strong
Great reaction and thanks for doing the full Trilogy of Lights. 🦊🤘 Now do yourself a huge favour and find the Legend M performance of 'Shine' ... no need for another reaction (unless you want to do one of course), but that was the concert (Moa's 20th birthday) where it was just Su and Moa and the acoustic guitar on stage.
That was a really special performance with Moa's really touching choreo and arguably Su-metal's finest vocal performance to date.
Thanks for stopping by! That sounds completely magical. I can't wait to check out that performance of Shine! 😁🤟🦊
R.I.P. Great guitarist Mikio🎸
👍 👍
Shine LIVE is one of my top 3 songs by BABYMETAL.
The Trilogy of Lights are all three beautiful songs with stunning lead vocals by Suzuka, gorgeous backing vocals from Moa and spot on instrumentals from the Kami Band
Shine is absolutely great! I really enjoyed all 3 of these songs in the Trilogy of Lights 😁🦊🤟
Really appreciate you did the Trilogy in a row since I consider it better than the sum of the three songs (which are already incredibly good for themselves).
The Trilogy of Lights is about the stages of grief: "Starlight" represents the first stages: denial and anger. "Shine" is about the intermediate: bargaining and depression (also known as the inflection point). And "Arkadia" is obviously about acceptance, moving forward. It has never been said that it was a tribute to Mikio and/or Yui. But many fans take it like this and given the general theme and the lyrics, it's at least plausible.
I currently consider "Arkadia" my all time favorite song. I love everything about it and I believe it's totally me. I was lucky enough to get it live alongside "Starlight" but never got "Shine".
Most of the footage shows Riho Sayashi and also Kano Fujihira, two of the Avengers (backup dancers) since the three videos are compilations from several shows. The one with Moa playing the acoustic guitar was Legend-M and that's the uncontested best performance of "Shine". Moa can play the guitar but she admitted she should practice more.
Until next time!
🤘🦊
careful, you are going to anger Jason the super "only my opinion matters and is fact" commenter. How dare you say any fan can have an opinion on what these songs mean. :P
Thank you for your response! That was well said and I like your description of the song meanings! Yes I noticed afterwards that it was the Avengers here. Arcadia was absolutely amazing and was the perfect song to finish the album on as well 😁🤟🦊
@@mikepowers9486 Yes, haha... I wrote it with that in mind. 😜
@@JasonsSongStop Also not you, Jason. Just to be clear. There is a "Fan" who acts like he knows more than anyone about this band who cries when someone suggests these songs have a special meaning to some.
Never will be and never was a tribute to anyone. Babymetal has said what each song means and it was never a tribute so don't let the fanatical idiots fool you. They gave their official meanings and officially and unofficially the band has never said any song is a tribute end of story.
You're welcome to your opinion, but you're certainly not welcome to call other fans (and reactors) idiots.
For the record, Koba has said in many interviews that he's not interested in providing interpretations of BABYMETAL songs.
He prefers to have fans provide their own meanings.
Jason is off his meds again. Prick has to cry about this every time. He can't stand that fans have their own theories and that it makes them happy. What a sad individual. ONLY his opinion is correct in his non medicated mind.
Oh my God 😂 My name is Jason of course and I was confused for an minute 😂
@@JasonsSongStop Yeah sorry if you thought my comment that was apparently removed was to you and not this "Fan" who is off his meds again.
@@mikepowers9486 That's weird, I didn't remove your comment. I guess CZcams decided to do that
Momo didn't perform on any of the Trilogy Of Lights songs. Riho performed all 3 songs.
Thank you! I realized I said Momo but it definitely wasn't her! 😅
@@JasonsSongStop At 17:55, you will see Kano Fujihira as the Avenger.
