I get the impression you need some context and an explanation about this song and in particular this performance. First off about Legend 1997. This was the title of the show - it was December 2013 the day after the lead singer Su-metal's 16th birthday - she was born in 1997, this was her birthday party ... and what better way to celebrate your 16th birthday than to be crucified on stage by your two best friends while 9000 people chant "Death Death Death"?
There was a translation of the intro in the description below the video. Opening Translation:
"Legend 1997. (referring to the year of Su's birth)
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.."
BABYMETAL started in 2010 a a sub-unit of a Jpop Idol group. In 2013 they separated from that group to become an independent band in their own right so a live backing band was phased in to support them in live shows starting off just playing the encores and at a couple of festivals and becoming their full time support in all live shows from early in 2014.
Legend 1997 was the final stage in BABYMETAL's transition from Jpop Idol group sub-unit. It was also all about Su-metal giving up her human life and existence as a Jpop Idol so that she could be reborn as a Metal Goddess.
The song 'BABYMETAL Death' was the first track in their first album (released in 2014) and it is basically all based on a pun where they introduce themselves.
The lyrics (there aren't many) are "B-A-B-Y-M-E-T-A-L" "Su-metal death", "Yuimetal death", "Moametal death", "BABYMETAL death". "Death Death Death Death Death Death".
There is no TH sound in Japanese so to a Japanese speaker it sounds like they are saying "Su-metal desu", "Yuimetal desu" etc. The word desu (the U is silent) means "I am, you are, we are, it is" etc ... so to them they are simply introducing themselves one by one "I am Su-metal", "I am Yuimetal", "I am Moametal", "We are BABYMETAL". In japan you might introduce yourselves as "Bowzer’s reaction Pit desu".
Most often 'BABYMETAL Death' was the opening song in their concerts - it definitely hypes up the crowd - but without the crucifixion and theatrics. On special occasions (such as this, it being Su-metal's birthday) it was used later in the show - here it was the finale. I'd guess you were asked for this song and performance as it is one that disproves all the gatekeepers' claims that "BABYMETAL is not metal".
The opening drum riff is an homage to Metallica's 'One'. The statue crumbling at the end was also an homage to Metallica and their 1989 'Justice For All' tour where they had a statue crumble at the end of their shows.
The neck brace pays homage to legendary X Japan drummer Yoshiki who damaged his neck so badly headbanging that he has to wear a neck brace most of the time now to avoid further damage.
That was not a guest guitarist (or bass player) from Ningen Isu. The musicians here were the Kami Band, BABYMETAL's live support band and some of Japan's very best session musicians. In this video you saw Mikio Fujioka (RIP) and Leda Cygnus on guitars, BOH on his 6 string bass and Hideki Aoyama on drums.
For a song with more singing (which is all their other songs except 'In The Name Of' where there is even less than this) I would suggest you try 'Megitsune'. The official video for that is very good, for other songs always go for their live performances (and avoid compilation videos unless there is no better alternative). 'Headbanger' live at Legend 1997 would be another good one to see.
Oh I nearly forgot #notacult
Nice thanks!
A great explanation that should really help the only thing I would have added is a recommendation for The unhelpful guide to Baby Metal but I'm not sure they are that interested nevertheless there's still a lot of people who require a complete explanation especially as the concept behind Death is still being played out now with Dark night carnival. It's a continuation of Death.
i would join if it was a cult tho
@@beratsamil I mean Im not mad soo😎
I've never seen two people more confused about the year 1997 before ...
1997 was the SuMetals birth year , this show was her 16th birthday
This is our Queen Su-metal's 16th Birthday Cerebration and her rebirth as a Metal Goddess
BABYMETAL FOREVER
🤘🤘🤘
All hail The Fox God
#notacult
Legend 1997, it's the year of birth su-metal (lead vocalist babymetal)...she was 16yo here.
The intro riff, and the statue that crumbles at the end are homages to Metallica. The neck brace is an homage to Japanese metal band, X Japan, because their drummer head banged too much that he broke/injured his neck requiring him to wear a neck brace.
So, let me clear things up for you. First, about the 1997 thing, 1997 is the year Suzuka Nakamoto (the lead singer) was born (December 20, 1999). Yui Mizuno and Moa Kikuchi were born at 1999 (Yui at June 20, 1999 and Moa at July 4, 1999). This was performed on Su's 16th birthday. About the statue thing at the back, its their homage to Metallica's Lady Justice that collapsed at the end of their performance. The Mother Mary (if its Mother Mary) statue also collapsed at the end of the video and the beat at the start of the song can also be related to Metallica's "One". The whole arena was chanting "Death" but don't get us wrong, its just a play of word as Japanese people introduce themselves with "desu" ([name] desu) and "desu" sounds like "death" so they used it to add more contrast of their cute and metal sides. The scene of Su being crucified is her sacrificing her life (her being an idol) to be reborn as metal goddess. And about the backing band, sorry but its not Shinji Wajima and Ken-Ichi Suzuki (boh and suzuki were both bald amd wears face paint but boh uses a 6string bass while suzuki uses a 4 string) from Ningen Isu. (Dont get me wrong, i dont intend to criticize your video, i just want to educate you and I still enjoyed watching the video) The band is called Kami Band. It consists of Mikio Fujioka (RIP) (black guitar), Leda Cygnus (blue guitar), Takayoshi Ohmura (not in the video but he commonly uses a pink glittery guitar), Isao Fujita (commonly uses a black and red guitar), BOH (6 string bass) and Hideki Aoyama (drums). They are the East Kami Band and they also have the West Kami Band who plays for them on their western tours. They are Chris Kelly (commonly uses a red guitar), CJ Masciantonio (commonly uses an orange guitar), Clint Tustin (5 string bass) and Anthony Barone (drums). The tern "Kami" is a Japanese word which translates to "gods" or "spirit" so basically, they are "gods of guitar", "gods of bass" and "gods of drums". These guys are wearing traditional burial clothes together with the lore that the Fox God summoned them from death to perform on BABYMETAL's live performance. The Fox God was believed to tell revelations to Kobametal (their producer) to pass through them. I know this all sound so tricky and mind-boggling as I really sucks at explaining but i hope this helped you a bit.
As for my request, if you havent done this yet, can you react to their song "Ijime, Dame, Zettai" Live at Sonisphere 2014? Because they turned thousands of skeptical, hostile metalheads that were known to throw things at bands they didn't like into their fans. You can also see the enthusiasm of the band as they play together with BABYMETAL. I know this is taking too long but not as long as Grington 300 300 cause he's the real BM guru.
I hope this comment could reach you!
And also the neckbrace thing was their tribute to Yoshiki (X Japan's drummer) who broke his neck from too mich headbanging so he sometime wear a neckbrace while playing in their live performance to prevent any further damage.
This is very Babymetal. The guy who has seen Babymetal is more confused than the guy who hasn't.
Best comment ^^
Indeed. He's confused because he's only seen GC and DDM and he thinks BM is just a light-hearted fun gimmick still. You don't know what BABYMETAL is until you have atleast heard half of their songs and watched all of the performances of these songs in a live performance.
@@Zedem0n - for sure. but i hate the idea that something is lesser because it's fun or funny. 'The Princess Bride' should have won best picture. I'm sure it wasn't even nominated for any academy awards. I like 'The Bloodhound Gang' they have a lot of funny songs i don't see how that makes it not good. Like you're not a 'serious' artist if you make people laugh. Ask a lot of directors. If you can do comedy you can act. How many 'comedic' actors have gotten 'serious' roles and nailed them? Too many to list. How many 'serious' actors are unable to do comedy? Probably all of them.
@@Arigator2 It's not a question of being lesser because it's "fun". It's a whole package of expectations. BM isn't "just" a gimmicky fad it's also a serious band with serious messages and serious songs with talented musicians and people all around.
And DDM and GC do not really offer you the wide array of things BM does. One could form a very partial opinion of what they really are and do. The same happened to me when I dismissed them as a fun gimmick who made me laugh for 10 minutes and then move on. I lost years on that band because of that partial/wrong opinion. I thought it was fun at the time but it wasn't enough to capture my attention beyond that. I didn't dismiss it because it was "bad" but because I genuinely thought those few MV's were the extent of what BABYMETAL was and had to offer. And boy was I wrong. Just like Bowzer realized here. I actually NEVER imagined that they were touring or great live by just watching GC.
@@Zedem0n - Babymetal's funny/fun/cute side is WAY BETTER than their serious side. There are a lot of bands that do serious metal better than Babymetal. I think anybody who doesn't appreciate the fun side is listening to the wrong band. But it's cool that they do both.
Song is BabyMetal Death
The concert is Legend 1997
The best part: "That's like rammstein times 10" jajaja
I'm also a metalhead and in the same way I reacted the first time I listened to BABYMETAL years ago and now I'm a fan of this band
GREAT REACTION GUYS!
React to Road of Resistance live Japan!
agree, road of resistance must be next! gooo!
Song title: BABYMETAL DEATH
This was the last song of the concert called "Legend 1997", which was celebrating the lead singer's (Su-metal) 16th birthday. 1997 is a reference to Su-metal's birth year.
props for the babymetal reaction. in the early years this was typically the first song of their shows, because it's also the first song of their first album. an intro into both what the band is and who the members are. This particular moment though was used at the end. It was the lead singer's birthday, Su was born in 1997, and so they decided to crucify her as a special birthday present to end the show.
Nice place to hangout 😂
1997 is the lead singer's birthyear and that's a special occasion to celebrate her birthday
Sporto was right, this was a song they used to open shows with on an early tour. One of the 3 girls has left the band due to health issues, but they are still putting out music! I highly suggest listening to one of these 3 songs : Gimme Chocolate!! (their biggest hit), BxMxC (their latest single), or PA PA YA!! BxMxC gives the best impression of their current sound since they've kinda found their footing with just the 2 girls still in the group. (Previous stuff having been written with 3 singers in mind.)
OH YEAH!! You didnt even recognize Metallica's The One riff 😑. Or the statue in the background as the homage of Metallica's liberty of justice statue in the tour 😑. Yeah its usually their opener on their concerts, this one is abit special as its for the leads singers birthday celebration. Birth date 1997. Now you gotta do their collaboration w/ Rob Halford in APMAs.
> "You didnt even recognize Metallica's The One riff..."
They obviously also had problems with their eyes (none of the guitarists is even remotely as old as the chaps from Ningen Isu) and their ears (hearing any other thing but "death")...
At last!!!!!!!!! Seen your postings 🤣
Babymetal can be as loud and heavy as they want to be or poppy for that matter, it's lots of fun. :-)
Best sweet 16 party ever ! Kill the singer at the end of the show, so she can return at the next show reborn as a metal goddess. Great present too.
#NotaCult, #DefinitelyNotaCult, #NoSeriouslyItsNotACult, #AnyoneSayingWeAreACultWillBeSacrificedToTheFoxGod
ngl, got me in the first half
You guys pretty much hit the nail on the head: this is usually an intro song, and it's not this long at most of their concerts. The middle part with the higher-pitched riff was extended for this special performance, which was actually at the end of this concert, Legend 1997 (named for the lead singer's birth year, as it was her 16th birthday).
I don't know what other Babymetal songs you've seen already, but I'd recommend checking out some of the videos from their Budokan concert in 2014. Good choices from that include but are not limited to Akatsuki, Rondo of Nightmare, Catch Me If You Can, and Onedari Daisakusen. I promise those all have actual singing in them! ;)
I appreciate that you were honest when you gave your opinion, and I hope to see more of that in more Babymetal reactions to come! Cheers!
... and that's why back then I suggested you to avoid this one for the kids 😅. Lot of references to Metallica here, this was indeed an intro and has been BM favourite way to open a show for years, this one or Megitsune. But that song was played 2/3 in a show that had a first part with backtracks and fake band, typical of idol world, and a second part with the Kami Band and since it's Legend 97 or Legend S, it's SU-Metal's birthday. So this one is their goodbye to the Idol world.
🤘🦊⚡
You must see headbanger live
Thats so amazaing
LOL, going straight into the Deep End. Bored while hearing insane instrumentals? I guess "The call of Ktulu" gets boring too.
I am a very happy baby metal cult member! I proudly bow down and worship at the feet of Queen Su Metal! May the fox God bless your reaction channel!!🦊🦊🦊🦊
You should react to BABYMETAL Karate live, it's one of my favourites from them👍🏾
Didn’t we do that🤔
@@BowsersreactionPit I don't think you have but I could be mistaken
Please react to bring me the horizon ft. BABYMETAL - kingslayer
Please please :)))
They actually were screaming “DEATH”
Shortly, I am=desu, desu pronounced sounds like death. Main singer born 1997, her sweet16 concert, where she leaves behind childish career as jpop singer, and borns again as a metal goddess.
Top Babymetal Reactions Song that you should listen to #,rondo of nightmare live..
They are saying "Babymetal desu" at the beginning of this song, which means "This is Babymetal".
This is a fun and fun birthday party for girls. Doesn't it look like that?
A LOT to unpack here. First off, no guest guitarists. The band here is Babymetal's band, called the Kami Band, or the Kami God Band. They are a rotating group of musicians, consisting of:
Takayoshi Ohmura (guitar)
Mikio Fujioka (guitar, RIP)
Leda Cygnus (guitar)
ISAO (guitar)
BOH (bass)
Hideki Aoyama (drums)
For this performance, Mikio and Leda are the guitarists. Now, for the song. The song is called "Babymetal DEATH". The show this was at is called "Legend 1997". It is called that because 1997 was the year that Su-Metal was born. This was done in 2013, for her 16th birthday. You are right that the song is easily used as an intro to their show, but for this particular show, it was used as the finale.
As far as the lyrics go, you got played. Don't feel bad about that, because the entire western world got played. They aren't saying "Death". In the Japanese language there is no -th sound, so the closest word they have to "death" is "desu" (with a silent u). But that word already means "to be", so when they say Desu, their manager taught them how to hold their tongue between their teeth and say the word, then they got how to say "death", when they really mean "desu". So the lyrics are simple: they are introducing themselves. The lyrics are:
B.A.B.Y.M.E.T.A.L.
Su-Metal desu (I am Su-Metal)
Yui-Metal desu (I am Yui-Metal)
Moa-Metal desu (I am Moa-Metal)
BABYMETAL desu (we are BABYMETAL)
But to the rest of us in the English-speaking world, it sounds like they are saying Death. They did the cutest most non-metal play on words, and we got trolled by it. Additionally, as others have mentioned, this song is a total tribute to Metallica, who not only happens to be Babymetal's favorite metal band, but who also dance with them whenever they are at the same show. The riff is straight from One. You could sing that section along lyrically to that beat, and it would slot right in. The statue of the head falling off is in tribute to Doris (Lady Justice on the cover of Metallica's "..And Justice For All" album). On that tour in 1998, they had a statue of Doris on stage, in which the head would fall off of it at the end of the show. They did the same thing here..
Finally, the performance. the 3 girls in the band were part of a Japanese idol group called Sakura Gakuin. They can only be in such groups like that until their 16th birthday, in which they "graduate" from that group, to do whatever they want to do in show business. For Su-metal, she chose to crucify herself in order to shed who she was in that idol group to be reborn as the metal queen. That was what this performance is about.
Wow, great reaction to Babymetal, you guys! 🤘😉👍.
5:38 I hear "Kickin him in the a**" 😂😂 I can't stop laughing
That video should be everyone's introduction to babymetal!, all hail the kitsun the fox god 😆
⚡ 💀 💕 / 💀 💀 💀
"Maybe they got the year wrong."
It still gets me how many people fail to do the math (2020 minus 1997 = 23), and make an educated guess what 'Legend 1997' might mean. : )
You did pickup on the fact that they were spelling out B-A-B-Y-M-E-T-A-L.
Surprisingly, a lot of folks don't catch that. Maybe because they're expecting this to be in Japanese.
Can't fault you for thinking this was the first song in the set, since it was usually used as an opener.
This performance was very unusual, since it was the final song.
Unfortunately, Shinji Wajima from Ningen Isu has never performed with BABYMETAL.
The supporting Kami Band guitarists that night were Mikio Fujioka (RIP) and Leda Cygnus.
BOH was on bass and Hideki Aoyama on drums.
Calm down bro
@@MrChumpus He's right about people not working out that 1997 has nothing to do with when this performance happened, though. It was 24 years ago this year, and video most certainly wasn't this high definition back then (I know - coincidentally, I turned 24 in 1997).
#notacult! I love this performance! Great reaction guys! 🤘🦊🤘
I Like their song Megitsune.
more Babymetal reactions please!!!
Hey guys this used to be their opening track at their concerts the reason is DETH
Why because they playing on words
For Japanese people is hard to pronounce DETH it sound more like DES THAT IN TOKYO SLANG MEANTS I AM SO THEY ALL SAID BABYMETALDES THEN SUMETALDES YUIMETALDES AND MOAMETALDES
ALSO THIS WAS NOT THE OPENING FOR THIS CONCERT IT Ws the closer and in heavy metal tradition very intense dark and confusing in other words amazing
Also it is call legend 1997 because of SU-META S BIRTHDAY
THIS IS ACTUALLY HER SWEET 16th BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION HER BIRTHDAY IS ON DECEMBER 20th THE CONCERT WAS ON DECEMBER 21st
You should react to headbanger legend 1997 this one is incredible
And heavy as hell
you guys are hilarious.. love your guesses.. this was their parents LOL
This isn't an intro to a song , It's an intro to the concert itself .
Shout out to Sporto's apparent knowledge of ropes.... which is completely intriguing. 👀👀👀
No, the bassist isn't from Ningen Isu but he is Bohte Daisuke.
This was su-metal's 16th Birthday. You can say this is one hell of a way to celebrate your 16th Birthday
Girl: I want to Disneyland for my birthday.
Su-Metal: That's nice. I got crucified in front of thousands if fans by my bandmates, and went from rock queen to rock goddess
1997. The year of the lead singer's birth
Please do Babymetal's Road of Resistance . =).
Should have listen the PAPAYA, HEADBANGER AND RONDO INTRO
#notacult...or is it? The "death" vs "desu" pun is great as they have opposite meanings. "Death" is a lack of existence whereas "desu", meaning I am, we are etc, is an affirmation of existence.
🤘🦊🤘
1997 was also the year the legendary Japanese heavy metal band X-Japan broke up, suggesting that the neck corset was a tribute song to them, as drummer YOSHIKI wore it around his neck due to a cervical spine injury. This video is of their live performance in 1997. czcams.com/video/8ArAnXLbFck/video.html
HAHAHAhahaha..
Your reaction are so funny!
Well if you like to see the opening track of the concert you will not be disappointed
This legend of 1997 concert was one of the most epic concert from beginning to the end
FIRST TRACK CONCERT OPENING
AVAMARIE LIVE LEGEND 1997
This one started with YUIMETAL AND MOAMETAL INTERACTING WITH THE VIRGIN MARIE STATUE
THAT BY THE WAY HAS SU-METAL FACE
THEN GOES INTO A HEADBANGER VERSION THAT HAD BEEN PLAYED LIVE ONLY IN THIS CONCERT
IS A DJ TRACK VERSION THAT IS INSANE
the girls are "babymetal". the song is "babymetal death". the concert is "legend 1997". it was a celebration of su's birthday; she was born in 1997. the band that backs them is known as the "kami band". it's generally a handful of musicians from a small group of regulars, but it doesn't have an independent existence; techncially, the kami band is just whoever is backing babymetal at a given show.
And it's usually the intro but at this special time because it was her birthday the lead singer they moved us to the end and what you may not have noticed is they blew off the head of the statue in back. Shout out to Metallica. The neck brace was a shout out to the drummer of xJapan who hurt his neck so bad he had to wear one, a neck brace.
gosh this channel has 200000 subscribers!!!! GOSH
It ain't over....
Oh, and they're spelling/chanting name Babymetal as japanese do, so sounds a bit different
One of my fave bands in japan😁 kawaii
ROFL you guys, Absolute wrong song order for you guys. As said in other comments.. this was end of concert song and the end of Su-metal being a girly idol and is resurrected as a METAL QUEEN! #NOTACULT
BMTH ft. BABYMETAL - KINGSLAYER PLSSSS....!!!
Great reaction
Try more Babymetal :)
And definitely try BMTH ft. Babymetal - Kingslayer
You guys need to re-watch the video with the English sub-titles. And you need to watch the Unhelpful Guide to BabyMetal. I'm surprised you didn't really say anything about the crowd in the video, nor really much about either the music nor the theatrics.
Your comedic reaction was entertaining. Please do more BabyMetal reactions.
Lyrical themes found in Babymetal's music focus on real-world issues. Also, they give the message of positivity and self-empowerment with the atmosphere of their music containing less serious and playful themes. To be specific, the body image concerns of girls and women pressured by society to remain thin and also bullying, while they also sing about what it's like going to your first concert, the concept of an "ideal woman" and chocolate, subjects which critics say are a step away from typical lyrical styles used by most metal bands.
The Los Angeles Times stated, "Babymetal is a Japanese concept group, and they’re the most divisive thing in heavy music right now." MetalSucks stated, "Babymetal isn’t metal. It’s theater, the Japanese pop industry deconstructing post-millennial metal and modern pop tropes and reconstituting them into a fully realized, 360-degree entertainment experience." After Judas Priest's Rob Halford performed with Babymetal in July 2016, he stated, "Babymetal is the future of metal."
Love the homages to Metallica one of baby metals favorite bands
Fyi what you saw in the original karate kid moving was Mr Miagi was practicing the highest level of martial arts, the healing or channeling and focusing energy and transferring thay energy ro something or someone else. Much how Reiki was developed by Mr Usui who was astout martial artist.
#notacult
You guys should react more babymetal song. Like Road of resistance live in japan, headbanger live legend 1997, Megitsune, KARATE !
This was more like a jam session with too minimal vocals.
Mandatory #notacult.
Hey Bowzer, you familiar with ten second songs channel?
We are not a cult.
try to react bring me the horizon ft. babymetal ."kingslayer".
The song is Babymetal Death in the Legend 1997 show, the original video title doesn't help really much to make new people get what it is about. It is 1997 because it was the singer 16th birthday party and she was born in 1997.
You should try Babymetal - Gimme Chocolate next.
Do Nightwish - your's an empty hope pls (its symphonic metal)
Anton... "Why this song?" 😂
I would suggest for you to react to BABYMETAL - Mischief of Metal Gods (Kami Band), Although this video don't have the girls and more focused on the band
Lol
new camera? or just a new placement. looks good either way.
Different placement
Nice reaction. Check Headbanger Live, PA PA YA!! or Karate Live. BABYMETAL is always better Live.
Do you look at your watch during "Orion"?
Orion is an instrumental tapestry. Woven with great detail and intricacy. This is not nearly as elaborate. Don't compare apples to rocks.
#NOTACULT
React demons damn broo 🔥🤘
Respect from indonesia
Can you react to Cimorelli God Only Knows song
Suzuka died so that Su-metal might live...
Metallica one the riff sounds like
Very odd track to start with. Give Me Chocolate!!
