Welcome to the Foxhole and BabyMetal journey 🦊🤘🔥 I'm always glad to see more reactors getting into this amazing group. They were rocking out the whole World Tour 2023 and everyone were having a blast with the setlist, the new songs from latest album and the classic hits, especially GC! either you hate or love it, is a song with crazy amount of views and they don't wanna leave behind in any of their setlist. The 1st album with this song is having 10 Years anniversary and recently they released a GC! Challenge clip on social network, a lot of fans are having so much fun. Dance choreography and metal had never been seen before and they somehow managed to make it works creating their unique own genre called kawaii-metal, mixing Jpop (not Kpop) and heavy metal along with many more sub genres and rhythms, you'll have so much fun going through this journey. This isn't actually live sound, is studio album version over a live performance which was partially live only on the vocals and choreography with backing track sound. They have their own band called Kami Band introduced later on that same show and after that Kami Band become regular at live performance but they're not official members, only these trio are the front women. BabyMetal is a Japanese metal dance unit created in 2010 under another Jpop/Jrock group called Sakura Gakuin, they had 11 and 12 years old when started this and become independent after 2013, they created their own genre called kawaii-metal (kawaii means cute) mixing Jpop with metal sound and different subgenres along with many more rhythms. Their name is a reference to a new genre and not related to their ages or "baby" faces, is a pun intended play words with "heavy-metal" which sounds similar to "baby-metal". They are: *SuMetal* lead vocalist, now 26. *MoaMetal* scream and dance, now 24. *YuiMetal* scream and dance, former member since 2018. *MomoMetal* scream and dance, she's 20 and is the new official member since April 1st recently. None of them are related. After 2018 you'll see backup dancers performing along with them but none of them are official members, they don't sing, only dance, but that status change recently like i said. This was in December 2013 at SuMetal 16th Birthday, the other girls had 14 yo and there was a big party you have seen nothing yet, wait for _"Babymetal Death"._ The backing band here are called "baby-bones", they don't actually play they're just mimicking air playing instrument, later on this same concert and after 2014 you'll see the girls performing with a real band called the Kami Band, more of them later. Some recommendations for next songs like: - _"Road Of Resistance"_ live in Japan official. - _Megitsune_ official MV. - _Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!_ live at this same live performance Legend 1997 in Makuhari Messe Japan when SuMetal is celebrating her birthday becoming a metal goddess queen and leaving her idol jpop form (you can find one at Gans Tomas channel under "Head Bangya" title). You have more than 60 songs to discover. Amuse their label is very hard to deal so if you want to avoid copyright blocked you have "Babymetal Reactor Resource" channel you'll get full original clips of their best live performance with watermarked logo safe to react, look for "Future Plans" vid, follow instructions and you'll get all of them, upload the one with the logo for us and you can watch without it, don't worry for us we already saw all of them. I'm gonna try to leave in my next comment where to get safe clips to react if YT allows me to do it. See you next time! 🦊🤘🍫
Here's the list of live performance clips usually safe to react without any filters so you won't need to rely on live compilations, there might be some exceptions: - Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!! live at Legend 1997, SuMetal 16th Birthday in 2013, they got MV of this and is fun, but live is a blast. czcams.com/video/LNFiDWJh2FA/video.html - Akatsuki, live at Budokan 2014, this is a SuMetal solo. czcams.com/video/g2372C5PJLM/video.html - Megitsune, official MV is my first recommendation but is usually blocked if you don't put filters, so if you want live and safe to react, check it out Budokan 2014. czcams.com/video/dU38CYkpBvI/video.html - Akatsuki Unfinished Version, SuMetal solo again but with only a piano behind special performance at Legend 1997. czcams.com/video/nwsinmxTxbo/video.html - Babymetal Death, live at Legend 1997, this is the big finale, you're gonna blow your mind with this one. czcams.com/video/jRc9dbgiBPI/video.html - Catch Me If You Can with Kami Band intro live at Budokan 2014. czcams.com/video/ng8U_j0gpLI/video.html - Ijime, Dame, Zettai live at Sonisphere Festival 2014, sometimes the official live MV isn't so friendly so you know what to do. czcams.com/video/Ro-_cbfdrYE/video.html - Rondo Of Nightmare, with Mischiefs Of Metal Gods Intro live at Budokan 2014, another SuMetal solo but way different than usual happy songs. czcams.com/video/8WBDiLMNZcE/video.html - Doki Doki Morning, official MV, their very first song and MV full of kawaiiness, usually is safe to react so try it, if you want a live performance, this is the first proshot version with the Kami Band live at Legend 1999 (YuiMetal and MoaMetal 14th birthday). czcams.com/video/BSjv9OYtWZ0/video.html - Uki Uki Midnight, this one is a follow up to Doki Doki Morning but way different sound, this is the PV, is super fun but the sound isn't so great but at least is live. czcams.com/video/Yj-UQIlqsIQ/video.html If you want better sound with the Kami Band, then live at Budokan 2014 it is. czcams.com/video/ESzY9dL613Q/video.html - Onedari Daisakusen, live at Legend 1997, this is a Black Babymetal song, is a subgroup with only YuiMetal and MoaMetal. czcams.com/video/1dT1ywYR5So/video.html - Iine! again official MV hits way better but if you want live, here live at Budokan 2014. czcams.com/video/5sCvYVNeD0w/video.html - Karate live at Download Festival 2016, "kitsune6001" got this with a short interview intro. czcams.com/video/FKOL6v3Md2c/video.html - Road Of Resistance live in Japan official, this one is easily to find but be careful with the blocked by putting some filters just in case. - Kimi To Anime Ga Mitai - Answer For Animation With You, live at Budokan 2014, not sure if it's still safe, so try some filters, if is audio blocked try to mute or just cut the parts. czcams.com/video/M8FKumvh-w8/video.html Here's a song you can find at Babymetal Reactor Resource (BMRR), a helpful place to get watermarked logo clips of the original live version to curve the annoying algo. - GJ! live at Wembley Arena 2016, another Black Babymetal song. czcams.com/video/Hg0Rylcg8F0/video.html This is BMRR short vid to follow instructions and get the spreadsheet with the full list. czcams.com/video/q40VmTHSh4c/video.html And here's a BM guide (the long one). czcams.com/video/gDne0xwniTg/video.html There's a more recent beginners guide at "Briaghh" called "So...

Man, you are probably the biggest Babymetal fan that I have ever seen. Of the thousands Babymetal reaction videos that I already seen, in all of them there’s a comment of yours. It’s amazing and funny at the same time haha. Keep spreading the information to the reactors. Great job!!!
Fun reaction with an interesting take on how you got to here. Are you still in touch with your old friend? I like to think he'd get a chuckle out of you reacting to Babymetal. This video was really the one that first brought Babymetal to the serious attention of the west. With that in mind it's also over 10 years old and the girls here are now fantastic, seasoned pros with that worldwide following you mentioned. Personally I'd love to see you react to a more current performance of theirs. Su in the middle and Moa on the right are still rocking. Yui, on the left stopped performing in 2017 due to still mysterious health reasons. In April of 2023 Momo officially became the newest member of Babymetal at a joyous concert at the PIA Arena Japan. I'd love to hear your reaction to "Monochrome" from that incredible two night concert. Nice going with this and the link follows: czcams.com/video/xAZeBm0o7Jo/video.html
That's exactly what I expect to see when I click on a BABYMETAL reaction video: A big smile. I still have that after years of listening to them every single day.
Welcome to Babymetal! This was the live debut of *Gimme Chocolate!!* from a Dec 2013 concert celebrating lead Su-metal's 16th birthday. The bad news: You've realized the massive error of depriving yourself of Babymetal for the last 13 years. The good news: You have 13 years of Babymetal content to binge. Next suggestion: *Metali (Official Live)* - 10 years after Gimme Chocolate, their newest single, and a Nov 2023 performance. A grown-up Babymetal in their mid-20s now. 🤘🦊
Not their best song, but jaw dropping for sure. Can't wait until you hear their good songs. Definitely check out BMTH Kingslayer ft Babymetal live in Tokyo (it has a matrix/video game theme vibe, plus the intro references metal gear solid, and it happens to be their best song all time for me 🎶🔥)
Great first reaction and welcome to the BABYMETAL Foxhole.🦊You really should have listened to your friend all those years ago ... on the positive side, you have 13 years of BABYMETAL you can catch up on and enjoy. I know some big fans would love to be hearing everything they've done for the first time all over again. They keep that same energy up for the whole of every concert without a drop in the quality throughout the whole time. They are exhausting to watch, but by far the best entertainment of any kind that I've been lucky enough to find in decades. 'Gimme Chocolate' is one of their fun songs (they just want some chocolate but worry about their weight ... but it is chocolate, it would be so nice and they would be so happy, so can they just have a piece of chocolate please).🍫🍫🍫 It is not their best by a long way, but it is their most viewed song and they still play it in most of their concerts (this video is 10 years old now, it was filmed in December 2013) it is great fun and it always gets a great reception from the crowd - and you wouldn't believe the mosh pits it starts, but you will struggle to find another song they've done that sounds quite like this one. This was the official video, so although it was filmed at a live show (Legend 1997 celebrating the lead singer's 16th birthday in December 2013, the other two girls were 14) the audio was taken from the studio recording ... shame as they sound better live. BABYMETAL were formed in 2010, the brainchild and passion project of their metalhead producer Kei Kobayashi who was inspired to try this mad idea of fusing metal with JPop hooks, melodies, aesthetics and vocals after seeing lead singer Su-metal with her previous group and being so impressed by her vocal talents and stage presence. He thought it might just inject some youth into and help rejuvenate the stagnant metal and rock music scene - as it was in Japan at that time. The three members (Su-metal - lead vocalist, Yuimetal and Moametal - backing vocals, harmonies and in charge of hyping and involving the crowd through their choreo) were aged 12, 11 and 11. We have watched them grow up and become one of the very best live acts on the planet. Yuimetal last performed in October 2017 and was absent for 12 months for health reasons until she announced she was still not fully recovered and would be leaving the band. Su and Moa continued as a duo for 4 or 5 years supported from 2019 by 3 dancers who would take turns dancing in the third spot until 1st April 2023 when one of those dancers, Momoko, was finally revealed as the new official third member. BABYMETAL are like nothing you will have seen or heard before, they brought a fusion of great metal instrumentals coupled with JPop hooks, melodies and aesthetics to create their very own sub-genre ... and they have continued to develop and evolve from those beginnings. They don't limit themselves to any one main style or genre and you won't be able to pigeonhole or put them in any one box like you can with virtually every other band in the world, they are one of a kind and they invented their own genre and style that nobody has been able to copy successfully (some have tried, none came close) including bringing choreographed dancing to metal (but not as you might know it from pop acts where it is nearly always used just to fill the stage or give you almost naked girls (and boys) to look at to take your mind off often bland music). BABYMETAL's choreo helps with interpreting the song - a lyric or the meaning etc, but it is designed to involve and lead the crowd, to give them their cues when to jump, shout, pump their fists, chant and so on. BABYMETAL are complete masters of crowd control and crowd involvement. They are supported in live shows by the Kami Band - some of Japan's very best session musicians, each one of them a world class instrumentalist. They first appeared in October 2012 and became the full time support for all live shows from March 2014. You didn't see them in this video (the guys at the back in skeleton suits were called Babybones and they were not playing the instruments ... early on BABYMETAL did not have the funding for a live band so the instrumentals were pre-recorded and played on the backing track). At this show the Kami Band came on for the last 5 songs - it was the last time they played only the encores. In 2019 the Kami Band of the West (American musicians) were introduced and they have been supporting BABYMETAL on their more extended foreign tours since then. They have nearly 70 songs now, every one of them is different from the last. They have songs in virtually every metal genre but will mix in other musical styles and genres with the metal, often when you least expect it. Some songs lean towards their pop roots others are just good hard metal and they do everything in between - so if you don't like one song no problem - try another, the chances are you'll love it. I know you will be getting a load of recommendations and suggestions for more songs (for example, Jake Muller has left you a good list below to get you started) - go with any of them, you can't go wrong, but remember - although the official videos are all good and worth seeing, BABYMETAL are a live performance act - that is where you will always see - and hear - them at their very best.
Well, you’ve opened a can of worms! BABYMETAL has an extensive history (and lore) which I won’t get into but a quick synopsis: they’ve been around for a bit over thirteen years now (they started when their lead singer - known as Su-metal (Suzuka Nakamoto) - was about twelve, and the two "cheerleaders" (officially "scream and dance" (backing vocals)) - Moametal (Moa Kikuchi) and Yuimetal (Yui Mizuno) - were both around eleven. Unfortunately, Yui left the band in 2018 because of health concerns, and early in 2023 Momometal (Momoko Okazaki) was named a member of the group. They do not play instruments but are backed by the Kami Band - session musicians who are among the best that Japan (and the U.S.) has to offer. BABYMETAL started a brand new genre of music ("kawaii metal" - cute metal), and they cannot be pigeon-holed - they are almost always thinking and moving outside box; they made listening to metal FUN! They have, to date, four studio albums, and have been on a number of world tours. It is common knowledge among their devoted fans (known as "The One") that BABYMETAL is best served live, but they do have several music videos that are real works of art. I suggest you go back to the beginning, and react to their first two music videos, "Doki Doki Morning" and "Iine!" (pronounced "E-nay"), both released in 2012. You’ll notice those are the first two on this list of these recommended songs (along with suggested versions): Doki Doki Morning (official music video) Iine! (official MV) Gimme Chocolate!! (official MV or Legend 1997 Apocalypse version) Megitsune (official MV) BABYMETAL Death (Legend 1997 Apocalypse version) [for those who are religiously sensitive, see the Budokan Black Night 2014 version] Onedari Daisakusen (Legend 1997 Apocalypse version) Song 4 No Uta (Budokan Black Night 2014 version) Uki Uki * Midnight (Budokan Black Night 2014 version) Catch Me If You Can (Budokan Black Night 2014 version) Ijime, Dame, Zettai (Live at Sonisphere 2014 version) Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!! (Legend 1997 Apocalypse version) Road of Resistance (Legend 2015 New Year Fox Festival version) Karate (official MV) Meta Taro (Five Fox Festival version) GJ! (Fox Festival 2017 version) Sis Anger (Fox Festival 2017 version) Shanti Shanti Shanti (official MV) Pa Pa Ya!! (official MV) BxMxC (official MV) Metalizm (official MV) Metali!! (official MV) I would include the links but, for some reason, CZcams sometimes thinks I'm posting spam and will delete my comment. For the links, see the CZcams playlist “BABYMETAL Top Twenty”; it is a mix of MV’s and live performances, is more or less in historical sequence, and could be considered a road map down the BABYMETAL foxhole. If nothing else, it can be used as a reference to find high quality versions of BABYMETAL songs without mucking about - if they are on the list. Anyway . . . . Another recommendation (read "challenge"): react to an entire BABYMETAL concert. I suggest "Legend 1997 Apocalypse" and/or "Budokan Black Night" (2014). There are playlists for both on the HEAD123456 CZcams channel. Both concerts are, in a word, incredible. Enjoy your trip down the foxhole! (You're in for a wild ride!!!) Keep rockin' BABYMETAL!!! (Sorry about the wall!) KITSUNE UP!!! 🤘🦊🤘
Great reaction, everyone has given you great info on Babymetal already. So I will give you my gamer/Nintendo fan fun fact, in Super Mario Maker on the WII U, you can play as Babymetal. And to continue the game theme, I recommend the song ↑↓←→BBAB 🤘🦊🤘
Welcome to Babymetal, hope you have a great journey with the band. Been a fan since 2016 when I saw them live in Germany, think you will have a great time. 🤘🦊🤘
Welcome to the foxhole! I think you're going to have fun with this band. You're going to get a kick over how no 2 songs sound alike. One think that makes Babymetal special is their love for experimentation. One thing you COULD do if you want to venture into this band is to start at the very beginning and work your way through their catalog. The cool thing with doing it this way is you get to see their progression. In this video they were VERY young still. Main singer had just turned 16 and the 2 dancers were 14. They just released a new album about a year ago so they're still going strong, just wanted to point that out as you kept referring to them in the past tense as if they are no longer a band. Anyhow, that would be my suggestion. It'd be easy to do it this way too, you just look up Babymetal discography and get the song list of each album and then pull up youtube videos for each song. One other thing I'd recommend is always aim for live shows if you can. Babymetal, as you can see, excel at live performances. They also tend to sound better live than the studio recordings too since for whatever reason the mixers who tweak the studio recordings always play around a little with her voice. She just tends to sound better live normally. Looking forward to many more reactions! :)
I'd suggest this for the next Babymetal song: -If you want to see how awesome Kami Band is (the musicians that perform with Babymetal) check Rondo of Nightmare (Live at Budokan Black Night). -If you want to see Su's awesome vocals check Akatsuki / Rondo of Nightmare (same live versions as the previous point) or Monochrome (First Take version). -If you want to see what does "EPICNESS" really mean, check "Road of Resistance" (Live in Japan). -If you wanna see a crazy party check "PA-PA-YA". -If you wanna see what Babymetal is about you also have to see Headbanger, Catch me if you can (if possible the Budokan Black Night live concert) , Ijime Dame Zettai, Megitsune, Karate... They have awesome songs but they really shine at Live concerts. I'd also suggest checking the lyrics before the reaction video just to have a little idea of what the song is about, as some songs have a strong message. Thank you and welcome to the Foxhole!
Welcome. I also would like to see what your roommate would say. Lol. This is "the beginning " I would suggest BXMXC as a what they can do now. Enjoy I know you will. 🤘😎🤘
Now do Aldious Dominator live Radiant A O East. Like BabyMetal then you'll love these ladies who play their own instruments as well as write their own songs.
@@TheLeomarti ..and have 9 studio albums everyone made Japan Billboards top 100, have about 80 songs in their discography with absolutely zero bad or even mediocre songs, and did it on their own with no mainstream support (they created their own label to put out their music), play multiple genres. And where American artists use the same 4 chords these girls write musically complex songs and some of the fastest most melodic songs ever written.
Welcome to The Fox Hole, you are in for a ride my friend. Try watching this first, it will give you a pretty good understanding of the group. It's a few years old and should probably be updated to add MomoMetal as it's third Official Member. "An Unhelpful Guide to Babymetal"
👍 👍 It is unfortunate that so many reactors first experience with these young ladies is Gimme Chocolate. They are sooo much more than this. BabyMetal began in 2010 there were Suzuka Nakamoto age 12 Moa Kikuchi and Yui Mizuno. Both Moa and Yui were 11 years old. All three girls were friends and classmates who attended an idol group (Sakura Gakuin) founded in 2010 by Amuse Talent Agency for girls 10 to 15. Themed around school life (they attended regular school as well) the girls would learn and train at vocals, dancing, public speaking and etiquette, etc., graduate at age 15 and then move onto whatever entertainment path they chose or that suited their talents. Key Kobayashi was a music producer for Amuse and heard Suzuka sing at age 9 and was impressed with her strong vocals and stage presence. Kobayashi was a fan of heavy metal but believed that the genre had become stale and tired (especially in Japan) with metal bands getting old Kobayashi believed the genre needed to be reborn (BabyMetal means the birth of a new metal genre). Kobayashi felt that Suzuka had the ability to front a metal band and that her vocals and presence could withstand the metal guitars and drums. The fusion of Jpop and Metal began. He placed Moa and Yui as backup singers/dancers and a phenomenon was about to result. In the beginning Amuse showed little interest and the girls had minimal financing. They performed at strip malls and small venues borrowing clothes for shows from friends and family. No money for a real band they had friends dressed in homemade skeleton costumes pretending to play instruments to a backtrack. They quickly became a sensation (these young ladies paid their dues). Amuse saw the potential and in 2012 hired the best session musicians Japan had to offer (The Kami Band) who tours with them today (now includes world class musicians from the USA for tours outside of Asia). If you choose to explore more of BabyMetal I suggest reacting to HQ pro shot videos of LIVE performances instead of official MV's (the reason is that the vast majority of MV's use studio audio over LIVE footage AND without the awesome Kami Band instrumentals) They have over 60 LIVE songs/performances and each one is different. They are fearless exploring many genres and have the respect of the legends of Metal such as Metallica, Slipknot, Rob Zombie, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Judas Priest and more. Avoid Glastonbury LIVE performances as the sound production by the BBC (who was in charge of that festival did a terrible job - mics not turned on, incorrect volume levels, etc.) Suggest reacting to these HQ Pro Shot videos of LIVE performances for a start.

Their new album in my opinion that released March 24 is amazing with so many different styles. Good luck and hope to see you again.

Welcome to the Foxhole and BabyMetal journey 🦊🤘🔥
I'm always glad to see more reactors getting into this amazing group. They were rocking out the whole World Tour 2023 and everyone were having a blast with the setlist, the new songs from latest album and the classic hits, especially GC! either you hate or love it, is a song with crazy amount of views and they don't wanna leave behind in any of their setlist.
The 1st album with this song is having 10 Years anniversary and recently they released a GC! Challenge clip on social network, a lot of fans are having so much fun.
Dance choreography and metal had never been seen before and they somehow managed to make it works creating their unique own genre called kawaii-metal, mixing Jpop (not Kpop) and heavy metal along with many more sub genres and rhythms, you'll have so much fun going through this journey.
This isn't actually live sound, is studio album version over a live performance which was partially live only on the vocals and choreography with backing track sound. They have their own band called Kami Band introduced later on that same show and after that Kami Band become regular at live performance but they're not official members, only these trio are the front women.
BabyMetal is a Japanese metal dance unit created in 2010 under another Jpop/Jrock group called Sakura Gakuin, they had 11 and 12 years old when started this and become independent after 2013, they created their own genre called kawaii-metal (kawaii means cute) mixing Jpop with metal sound and different subgenres along with many more rhythms. Their name is a reference to a new genre and not related to their ages or "baby" faces, is a pun intended play words with "heavy-metal" which sounds similar to "baby-metal".
They are:
*SuMetal* lead vocalist, now 26.
*MoaMetal* scream and dance, now 24.
*YuiMetal* scream and dance, former member since 2018.
*MomoMetal* scream and dance, she's 20 and is the new official member since April 1st recently.
None of them are related.
After 2018 you'll see backup dancers performing along with them but none of them are official members, they don't sing, only dance, but that status change recently like i said.
This was in December 2013 at SuMetal 16th Birthday, the other girls had 14 yo and there was a big party you have seen nothing yet, wait for _"Babymetal Death"._
The backing band here are called "baby-bones", they don't actually play they're just mimicking air playing instrument, later on this same concert and after 2014 you'll see the girls performing with a real band called the Kami Band, more of them later.
Some recommendations for next songs like:
- _"Road Of Resistance"_ live in Japan official.
- _Megitsune_ official MV.
- _Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!_ live at this same live performance Legend 1997 in Makuhari Messe Japan when SuMetal is celebrating her birthday becoming a metal goddess queen and leaving her idol jpop form (you can find one at Gans Tomas channel under "Head Bangya" title).
You have more than 60 songs to discover. Amuse their label is very hard to deal so if you want to avoid copyright blocked you have "Babymetal Reactor Resource" channel you'll get full original clips of their best live performance with watermarked logo safe to react, look for "Future Plans" vid, follow instructions and you'll get all of them, upload the one with the logo for us and you can watch without it, don't worry for us we already saw all of them.
I'm gonna try to leave in my next comment where to get safe clips to react if YT allows me to do it.
See you next time! 🦊🤘🍫
Here's the list of live performance clips usually safe to react without any filters so you won't need to rely on live compilations, there might be some exceptions:
- Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!! live at Legend 1997, SuMetal 16th Birthday in 2013, they got MV of this and is fun, but live is a blast.
czcams.com/video/LNFiDWJh2FA/video.html
- Akatsuki, live at Budokan 2014, this is a SuMetal solo.
czcams.com/video/g2372C5PJLM/video.html
- Megitsune, official MV is my first recommendation but is usually blocked if you don't put filters, so if you want live and safe to react, check it out Budokan 2014.
czcams.com/video/dU38CYkpBvI/video.html
- Akatsuki Unfinished Version, SuMetal solo again but with only a piano behind special performance at Legend 1997.
czcams.com/video/nwsinmxTxbo/video.html
- Babymetal Death, live at Legend 1997, this is the big finale, you're gonna blow your mind with this one.

Man, you are probably the biggest Babymetal fan that I have ever seen. Of the thousands Babymetal reaction videos that I already seen, in all of them there’s a comment of yours. It’s amazing and funny at the same time haha. Keep spreading the information to the reactors. Great job!!!
Fun reaction with an interesting take on how you got to here. Are you still in touch with your old friend? I like to think he'd get a chuckle out of you reacting to Babymetal. This video was really the one that first brought Babymetal to the serious attention of the west. With that in mind it's also over 10 years old and the girls here are now fantastic, seasoned pros with that worldwide following you mentioned. Personally I'd love to see you react to a more current performance of theirs. Su in the middle and Moa on the right are still rocking. Yui, on the left stopped performing in 2017 due to still mysterious health reasons. In April of 2023 Momo officially became the newest member of Babymetal at a joyous concert at the PIA Arena Japan. I'd love to hear your reaction to "Monochrome" from that incredible two night concert. Nice going with this and the link follows: czcams.com/video/xAZeBm0o7Jo/video.html
That's exactly what I expect to see when I click on a BABYMETAL reaction video: A big smile. I still have that after years of listening to them every single day.
Welcome to BABYMETAL🤘🦊♪ Your friend has good taste.
Welcome to Babymetal! This was the live debut of *Gimme Chocolate!!* from a Dec 2013 concert celebrating lead Su-metal's 16th birthday.
The bad news: You've realized the massive error of depriving yourself of Babymetal for the last 13 years.
The good news: You have 13 years of Babymetal content to binge.
Next suggestion: *Metali (Official Live)* - 10 years after Gimme Chocolate, their newest single, and a Nov 2023 performance. A grown-up Babymetal in their mid-20s now.
🤘🦊
Not their best song, but jaw dropping for sure. Can't wait until you hear their good songs.
Definitely check out BMTH Kingslayer ft Babymetal live in Tokyo (it has a matrix/video game theme vibe, plus the intro references metal gear solid, and it happens to be their best song all time for me 🎶🔥)
BabyMetal is so diverse. You can’t go wrong with any song they have. Music and performances are infectious. Jump in and enjoy.🤘🏼😜🔥🎸🤪🥁🎤🤘🏼
One of the best live bands to ever perform, you are in for such a fun ride discovering them. Amazing band, and very fun reaction thank you!
Wow 11 years ! But hey, better late than never ! I hope you will continue your catch-up, you will definitely not regret it🤘🦊🤘
Great first reaction and welcome to the BABYMETAL Foxhole.🦊You really should have listened to your friend all those years ago ... on the positive side, you have 13 years of BABYMETAL you can catch up on and enjoy. I know some big fans would love to be hearing everything they've done for the first time all over again.
They keep that same energy up for the whole of every concert without a drop in the quality throughout the whole time. They are exhausting to watch, but by far the best entertainment of any kind that I've been lucky enough to find in decades.
'Gimme Chocolate' is one of their fun songs (they just want some chocolate but worry about their weight ... but it is chocolate, it would be so nice and they would be so happy, so can they just have a piece of chocolate please).🍫🍫🍫
It is not their best by a long way, but it is their most viewed song and they still play it in most of their concerts (this video is 10 years old now, it was filmed in December 2013) it is great fun and it always gets a great reception from the crowd - and you wouldn't believe the mosh pits it starts, but you will struggle to find another song they've done that sounds quite like this one.
This was the official video, so although it was filmed at a live show (Legend 1997 celebrating the lead singer's 16th birthday in December 2013, the other two girls were 14) the audio was taken from the studio recording ... shame as they sound better live.
BABYMETAL were formed in 2010, the brainchild and passion project of their metalhead producer Kei Kobayashi who was inspired to try this mad idea of fusing metal with JPop hooks, melodies, aesthetics and vocals after seeing lead singer Su-metal with her previous group and being so impressed by her vocal talents and stage presence. He thought it might just inject some youth into and help rejuvenate the stagnant metal and rock music scene - as it was in Japan at that time.
The three members (Su-metal - lead vocalist, Yuimetal and Moametal - backing vocals, harmonies and in charge of hyping and involving the crowd through their choreo) were aged 12, 11 and 11. We have watched them grow up and become one of the very best live acts on the planet.
Yuimetal last performed in October 2017 and was absent for 12 months for health reasons until she announced she was still not fully recovered and would be leaving the band.
Su and Moa continued as a duo for 4 or 5 years supported from 2019 by 3 dancers who would take turns dancing in the third spot until 1st April 2023 when one of those dancers, Momoko, was finally revealed as the new official third member.
BABYMETAL are like nothing you will have seen or heard before, they brought a fusion of great metal instrumentals coupled with JPop hooks, melodies and aesthetics to create their very own sub-genre ... and they have continued to develop and evolve from those beginnings.
They don't limit themselves to any one main style or genre and you won't be able to pigeonhole or put them in any one box like you can with virtually every other band in the world, they are one of a kind and they invented their own genre and style that nobody has been able to copy successfully (some have tried, none came close) including bringing choreographed dancing to metal (but not as you might know it from pop acts where it is nearly always used just to fill the stage or give you almost naked girls (and boys) to look at to take your mind off often bland music).
BABYMETAL's choreo helps with interpreting the song - a lyric or the meaning etc, but it is designed to involve and lead the crowd, to give them their cues when to jump, shout, pump their fists, chant and so on. BABYMETAL are complete masters of crowd control and crowd involvement.
They are supported in live shows by the Kami Band - some of Japan's very best session musicians, each one of them a world class instrumentalist. They first appeared in October 2012 and became the full time support for all live shows from March 2014.
You didn't see them in this video (the guys at the back in skeleton suits were called Babybones and they were not playing the instruments ... early on BABYMETAL did not have the funding for a live band so the instrumentals were pre-recorded and played on the backing track). At this show the Kami Band came on for the last 5 songs - it was the last time they played only the encores.
In 2019 the Kami Band of the West (American musicians) were introduced and they have been supporting BABYMETAL on their more extended foreign tours since then.
They have nearly 70 songs now, every one of them is different from the last. They have songs in virtually every metal genre but will mix in other musical styles and genres with the metal, often when you least expect it. Some songs lean towards their pop roots others are just good hard metal and they do everything in between - so if you don't like one song no problem - try another, the chances are you'll love it.
I know you will be getting a load of recommendations and suggestions for more songs (for example, Jake Muller has left you a good list below to get you started) - go with any of them, you can't go wrong, but remember - although the official videos are all good and worth seeing, BABYMETAL are a live performance act - that is where you will always see - and hear - them at their very best.
You're such a diligent, hardworking ambassador for Babymetal. I might have to start thinking of you as Gringmetal. Just saying.
@@robote7679 Haha, thanks🦊
Well, you’ve opened a can of worms!
BABYMETAL has an extensive history (and lore) which I won’t get into but a quick synopsis: they’ve been around for a bit over thirteen years now (they started when their lead singer - known as Su-metal (Suzuka Nakamoto) - was about twelve, and the two "cheerleaders" (officially "scream and dance" (backing vocals)) - Moametal (Moa Kikuchi) and Yuimetal (Yui Mizuno) - were both around eleven. Unfortunately, Yui left the band in 2018 because of health concerns, and early in 2023 Momometal (Momoko Okazaki) was named a member of the group. They do not play instruments but are backed by the Kami Band - session musicians who are among the best that Japan (and the U.S.) has to offer.
BABYMETAL started a brand new genre of music ("kawaii metal" - cute metal), and they cannot be pigeon-holed - they are almost always thinking and moving outside box; they made listening to metal FUN! They have, to date, four studio albums, and have been on a number of world tours. It is common knowledge among their devoted fans (known as "The One") that BABYMETAL is best served live, but they do have several music videos that are real works of art. I suggest you go back to the beginning, and react to their first two music videos, "Doki Doki Morning" and "Iine!" (pronounced "E-nay"), both released in 2012. You’ll notice those are the first two on this list of these recommended songs (along with suggested versions):
Doki Doki Morning (official music video)
Iine! (official MV)
Gimme Chocolate!! (official MV or Legend 1997 Apocalypse version)
Megitsune (official MV)
BABYMETAL Death (Legend 1997 Apocalypse version) [for those who are religiously sensitive, see the Budokan Black Night 2014 version]
Onedari Daisakusen (Legend 1997 Apocalypse version)
Song 4 No Uta (Budokan Black Night 2014 version)
Uki Uki * Midnight (Budokan Black Night 2014 version)
Catch Me If You Can (Budokan Black Night 2014 version)
Ijime, Dame, Zettai (Live at Sonisphere 2014 version)
Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!! (Legend 1997 Apocalypse version)
Road of Resistance (Legend 2015 New Year Fox Festival version)
Karate (official MV)
Meta Taro (Five Fox Festival version)
GJ! (Fox Festival 2017 version)
Sis Anger (Fox Festival 2017 version)
Shanti Shanti Shanti (official MV)
Pa Pa Ya!! (official MV)
BxMxC (official MV)
Metalizm (official MV)
Metali!! (official MV)
I would include the links but, for some reason, CZcams sometimes thinks I'm posting spam and will delete my comment. For the links, see the CZcams playlist “BABYMETAL Top Twenty”; it is a mix of MV’s and live performances, is more or less in historical sequence, and could be considered a road map down the BABYMETAL foxhole. If nothing else, it can be used as a reference to find high quality versions of BABYMETAL songs without mucking about - if they are on the list. Anyway . . . .
Another recommendation (read "challenge"): react to an entire BABYMETAL concert. I suggest "Legend 1997 Apocalypse" and/or "Budokan Black Night" (2014). There are playlists for both on the HEAD123456 CZcams channel. Both concerts are, in a word, incredible.
Enjoy your trip down the foxhole! (You're in for a wild ride!!!)
Keep rockin' BABYMETAL!!! (Sorry about the wall!)
KITSUNE UP!!! 🤘🦊🤘
Great reaction, everyone has given you great info on Babymetal already. So I will give you my gamer/Nintendo fan fun fact, in Super Mario Maker on the WII U, you can play as Babymetal. And to continue the game theme, I recommend the song ↑↓←→BBAB 🤘🦊🤘
Welcome to Babymetal, hope you have a great journey with the band. Been a fan since 2016 when I saw them live in Germany, think you will have a great time. 🤘🦊🤘
nice reaction🤘🦊🔥
Check out Ijime Dame Zettai live at Sonisphere 2014 official. This was at a festival with massive crowd. They day BabyMetal ruled the world
狐の穴にようこそ！！🦊
Great reaction!
Thanks for watching!
🔥🤘🦊🤘🔥
Welcome to the fox hole. 🤘🦊🤘
Welcome to the foxhole! I think you're going to have fun with this band. You're going to get a kick over how no 2 songs sound alike. One think that makes Babymetal special is their love for experimentation. One thing you COULD do if you want to venture into this band is to start at the very beginning and work your way through their catalog. The cool thing with doing it this way is you get to see their progression. In this video they were VERY young still. Main singer had just turned 16 and the 2 dancers were 14. They just released a new album about a year ago so they're still going strong, just wanted to point that out as you kept referring to them in the past tense as if they are no longer a band.
Anyhow, that would be my suggestion. It'd be easy to do it this way too, you just look up Babymetal discography and get the song list of each album and then pull up youtube videos for each song. One other thing I'd recommend is always aim for live shows if you can. Babymetal, as you can see, excel at live performances. They also tend to sound better live than the studio recordings too since for whatever reason the mixers who tweak the studio recordings always play around a little with her voice. She just tends to sound better live normally.
Looking forward to many more reactions! :)
I'd suggest this for the next Babymetal song:
-If you want to see how awesome Kami Band is (the musicians that perform with Babymetal) check Rondo of Nightmare (Live at Budokan Black Night).
-If you want to see Su's awesome vocals check Akatsuki / Rondo of Nightmare (same live versions as the previous point) or Monochrome (First Take version).
-If you want to see what does "EPICNESS" really mean, check "Road of Resistance" (Live in Japan).
-If you wanna see a crazy party check "PA-PA-YA".
-If you wanna see what Babymetal is about you also have to see Headbanger, Catch me if you can (if possible the Budokan Black Night live concert) , Ijime Dame Zettai, Megitsune, Karate...
They have awesome songs but they really shine at Live concerts.
I'd also suggest checking the lyrics before the reaction video just to have a little idea of what the song is about, as some songs have a strong message.
Thank you and welcome to the Foxhole!
🤘🦊🤘
Welcome. I also would like to see what your roommate would say. Lol. This is "the beginning " I would suggest BXMXC as a what they can do now. Enjoy I know you will. 🤘😎🤘
Great reaction,,🍫🍫🍫
Next check out "headbanger"🦊🤘
Welcome to the Foxhole, “the One” has arrived, enjoy this beautyfull dive into the Foxhole!
😁🤘🤘🤘🍫
Now do Aldious Dominator live Radiant A O East.
Like BabyMetal then you'll love these ladies who play their own instruments as well as write their own songs.
_"who play their own instruments as well as write their own songs"_ and ?
@@TheLeomarti ..and have 9 studio albums everyone made Japan Billboards top 100, have about 80 songs in their discography with absolutely zero bad or even mediocre songs, and did it on their own with no mainstream support (they created their own label to put out their music), play multiple genres. And where American artists use the same 4 chords these girls write musically complex songs and some of the fastest most melodic songs ever written.
Babymetal is a living breathing contradiction. 🙂 But a great one.
Nice swan dive into the foxhole👊🏽⚡️🦊🤘🏾
🔥🦊🔥
Welcome to the Fox Hole and welcome to the family.
Subscribed. 👍 BABYMETAL is timeless. Joy/Happiness never goes out of style. 🦊 🖖 ❤
Welcome to The Fox Hole, you are in for a ride my friend.
Try watching this first, it will give you a pretty good understanding of the group. It's a few years old and should probably be updated to add MomoMetal as it's third Official Member.
"An Unhelpful Guide to Babymetal"
Japan is one weird country😮
This is their worst song so that tells you alot cuz its a great song.
👍 👍
It is unfortunate that so many reactors first experience with these young ladies is Gimme Chocolate. They are sooo much more than this.
BabyMetal began in 2010 there were Suzuka Nakamoto age 12 Moa Kikuchi and Yui Mizuno. Both Moa and Yui were 11 years old. All three girls were friends and classmates who attended an idol group (Sakura Gakuin) founded in 2010 by Amuse Talent Agency for girls 10 to 15. Themed around school life (they attended regular school as well) the girls would learn and train at vocals, dancing, public speaking and etiquette, etc., graduate at age 15 and then move onto whatever entertainment path they chose or that suited their talents.
Key Kobayashi was a music producer for Amuse and heard Suzuka sing at age 9 and was impressed with her strong vocals and stage presence. Kobayashi was a fan of heavy metal but believed that the genre had become stale and tired (especially in Japan) with metal bands getting old Kobayashi believed the genre needed to be reborn (BabyMetal means the birth of a new metal genre). Kobayashi felt that Suzuka had the ability to front a metal band and that her vocals and presence could withstand the metal guitars and drums. The fusion of Jpop and Metal began. He placed Moa and Yui as backup singers/dancers and a phenomenon was about to result.
In the beginning Amuse showed little interest and the girls had minimal financing. They performed at strip malls and small venues borrowing clothes for shows from friends and family. No money for a real band they had friends dressed in homemade skeleton costumes pretending to play instruments to a backtrack.
They quickly became a sensation (these young ladies paid their dues).
Amuse saw the potential and in 2012 hired the best session musicians Japan had to offer (The Kami Band) who tours with them today (now includes world class musicians from the USA for tours outside of Asia).
If you choose to explore more of BabyMetal I suggest reacting to HQ pro shot videos of LIVE performances instead of official MV's (the reason is that the vast majority of MV's use studio audio over LIVE footage AND without the awesome Kami Band instrumentals)
They have over 60 LIVE songs/performances and each one is different. They are fearless exploring many genres and have the respect of the legends of Metal such as Metallica, Slipknot, Rob Zombie, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Judas Priest and more.
Avoid Glastonbury LIVE performances as the sound production by the BBC (who was in charge of that festival did a terrible job - mics not turned on, incorrect volume levels, etc.)
Suggest reacting to these HQ Pro Shot videos of LIVE performances for a start.

Yui Mizuno left BabyMetal in 2018 due to health reasons and at their concert in Yokohama on April 1 it was announced that a permanent third member Momoko Okazaki (who is also a graduate of Sakura Gakuin and has been appearing with them LIVE since 2019 after Yui's departure) has officially become the third member.
Their new album in my opinion that released March 24 is amazing with so many different styles.
Good luck and hope to see you again.
