The Queen of METAL KINGDOM announced in high spirits her departure on an adventure to win freedom with us!😁 This song was the beginning of all things new BABYMETAL and the first song of that day's concert. We were very happy and sang it loudly.😀😀😀
Technically her first song as a full member was The One unfinished version at The First Take. It was filmed before she became a full member at Black Night... but has her as a full member and released when she became one.
3 Thrones for our Metal Queens . What a way to announce you are 3 again .This is how all BabyMetal fans are anywhere in the world, ready and willing to support them as The One . ❤️❤️❤️😁🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
Thanks for the recommendations. I've been meaning to react to some more of their OMVs, so even though I did Megitsune live I'll still probably put that one higher on the list.
Great reaction, thanks! Yes, you are right, that was the western Kami Band. And yes, that was Momometal on her very first show (BABYMETAL Begins - Clear Night) and song as an official member after being announced as such at the end of the previous day's concert (Black Night). And yes, this is a very anthemic song and a perfect show (and album) opener. By the way, their outfits are exclusive for this song and they look incredibly badass. The obvious suggestion at this point would be "Divine Attack" (live). But... what about jumping almost 10 years back in time to this? "Ijime, Dame, Zettai" (Live at Sonisphere 2014). Both videos are on their official channel. 🤘🦊
I will put both on the list - thanks for the recommendation! I didn't know the outfits were just for this song. Agreed they look badass, it's too bad they had to change so quickly!
@@road-runner That's a completely fair point. Props to them for going the extra mile for just one song then! (esp. considering the historical significance of this performance)
Hi from Ireland. Great choice this one and monochrome live at pia amongst my favourites, can I request a sumetal solo Amore live at Wembley if you can fit it in😊
@@DadDaughtersandDrinks Go back to her beginning when she was in a little group called Karen girls. They did music for a Japanese anime. She was oh so young. Then look at some of their performances from the school sakurin g??? School... No idea how to spell it; ok, start with Road of resistance live Japan, before heading into even earlier songs.
Great reaction. Haha, no they don't tell the audience what to do (they do lead them and involve the audience with their choreo in most of the songs) - this is a BABYMETAL crowd anticipating the start of the concert and participating rather than having to strain to see what is happening through a sea of mobile phones. Clear Night (April 2nd 2023) was Momoko's first concert as an official member. She had been revealed as the new third member at the end of Black Night, the night before. She had her own throne alongside Su and Moa. She must have been so nervous, worrying about whether she would be accepted - and this was her first song. Yes this song is very anthemic, but that was only fitting for this new beginning as the new BABYMETAL and a great way to start the show as the epic opening number.
This is how they opened the show. Babymetal always beings the spectacle! The crowd don't need to be told what to do, they know what to do and they come to the show ready to do their part. The west Kami band did indeed play this show. This was right before they left for the first leg of the 2023 world tour, so this was a warm up for playing with the west Kami, who they hadn't performed with for about two years. Regarding their genre bending ways, most of the time these days when they are asked to describe their music, they don't even say "kawaii metal" anymore, they just say they are Babymetal and that speaks for itself. Babymetal are a genre unto themselves and there is really no-one else like them. This was at Clear Night, which was the show where Momoko performed for the first time officially as Momometal. She was announced as the new "Scream and Dance" member at the end of the show on the previous night at Black Night. Next suggestion: Ijime, Dame, Zettai live at Sonisphere 2014. Sonisphere was one of the most important shows of Babymetal's career, and a turning point for them gaining legitimacy as a metal act.
👍 👍 Well done. Your knowledge of these young ladies and their Kami's is impressive. Yes the West Kami Band was doing the bulk of these concerts in Japan readying themselves for the long European and U.S. legs of their world tour. Momoko was official here. If you look closely she has the "Royal Headset Mic"😉

Since you brought up Judas Priest, there's a video out there: APMAs 2016 Performance: BABYMETAL perform with ROB HALFORD of JUDAS PRIEST. First half of the clip is BM performing their song Karate, then at 6:20 the epic show gets EPIC. I strongly suggest you to watch it even if you don't make a reaction video out of it, which you should btw.
You know, I did see that performance pop up once in my recommendations, but it stopped pretty quickly and fell out of my brain. I'll make sure to do a reaction to that as I can't imagine it being anything less than phenomenal!
Welcome back to BabyMetal's metalverse 🦊🤘🌐 The Fox Gate has been open... Let the Metal Kingdom come! 🙌 "NotACult" 🦊🤘👑 This is why BabyMetal is unmatchable with any other Japanese artists, they're top notch worldwide. Many others are finding Game Of Thrones resemblance on this stage setup, it just looks insane. The girls are carrying some kind of trident similar to the Spear Of Destiny or Lance Of Longinus from Evangelion anime series, if you know MoaMetal you know you gotta be careful with her. 🔱 Here's some official info about this song: ...
METAL KINGDOM (THRONE) "It is a powerful anthem ushering in the beginning of a new era while also representing the power and courage to step forward into uncharted territory. The track conveys imagery of one rising powerfully from the throne of silence, with a suitable fanfare announcing this new beginning." The live premiere of this song was held in January 2023 at Makuhari Messe, they held two big live shows returning to the stage after almost two years and by far they met up my expectations with that epic live performance. In that version SuMetal and MoaMetal were the only ones on stage because MomoMetal wasn't announced as an official member yet. There's also a dance choreo version performed first outside of Japan during this recent World Tour and some fans witnessed this even more gorgeous performance, later they did it in their own country at an exclusive show only for fans. They were rocking the Europe & UK Tour last months but so far this song wasn't part of the setlist, we'll see this year, still fans were enjoying a lot of new songs and some other hits they brought back for this World Tour. The official MV is a live proshot version at Makuhari Messe but with studio album sound, we already got a live sound version with the WOWOW broadcast and the released DVD/BD version of BM Begins The Other One live at PIA Arena MM 2023, now with the three girls together on stage which is the version you just saw. Also every show since this one in April 2023 was with the Western Kami Band. We got so many big news and announcements back then for these live shows in April 1st (Fox Day) at PIA ARENA MM Yokohama, if you remember MomoMetal was the one blessed by the Fox God as a new official member. Also they performed with a new BM mirror unit coming from another world of this metalverse, they got new songs exclusive for them and recently they posted more shows for next month. Next suggestion: - METALIZM live at PIA Arena MM official MV. Thanks for sharing this and see you next time.🦊🤘👑
Thanks for all of that great info, as always. One thing I've really appreciated about the fanbase is how they all seem (to my limited YT exposure at least) to have really embraced MomoMetal, instead of comparing her to YuiMetal in a negative way, or having some other person they wanted as the third. Perhaps it's a combination of how long it's been since Yui left, and that Yui leaving wasn't an issue within the band itself (at least to my knowledge from the comments). Ugly breakups tend to cause rifts in the fanbase, but everyone in the Babymetal metalverse seems completely onboard!
Your reaction's are very thoughtful and you generally have your Babymetal facts down. Momo was one of the Avengers but from 2019 on-I'm pretty sure-she was the one who performed with Babymetal. The concert Momo was officially recognized as a member of Babymetal was the Clear Night 2023 at the PIA Arena, this performance actually. When you see Momo the easiest way to tell if she's officially a member or not is look to see if she's got the microphone headset. If you watch any of the videos from the Black Night, no mic. And the Clear Night there's the mic along with a joyous looking Momo.
Yep, I know about the mic now! And I have to think that even having performed with them for a few years at that point, it still had to be a very special and nerve-wracking show!
A random part from an interview from last year: MOAMETAL: I was still somewhat worried beforehand. But upon hearing the screams of joy from the audience, I realized that there were many people that loved what we had decided to do, and I almost cried as I felt how much love MOMOMETAL was receiving. (from the same interview: Su-metal and Moametal were not nervous before the show, just preparing as usual, a bit nervous during the show, but never went up much, because it was so well received)

This was the first song for Clear Night of the BABYMETAL Begins concerts. I would also recommend Road of Resistance, from the PIA Arena 2023, Clear Night concert as well. It was played directly after Metal Kingdom. Edit: I added a playlist to a reply of this post, of recent performances of theirs, the first ten songs are The Other One album which was released last year.
Great reaction, great song, great performance, absolutely atrocious subtitles 😆. Makes this epic and anthemic call to action song feel like a 5-year old wrote it… lol. Ah well, at least you can surmise the meaning of the song. On Momo: you’re right. This very song performance was the absolute first performance by Momometal as the official 3rd member (Apr 2nd, 2023). The day before, at end of “Babymetal Begins, Black Night”, she was officially announced. Metal Kingdom was the show opener for Day 2’s “Clear Night”. Also, easy way tell to know if a performance was before or after Momo’s official announcement: 2018 to Apr 1st 2023, 3rd girl NEVER has a mic. Momo IS and continues to be mic’ed up starting Apr 2nd. Look forward to more! 🤘🦊
I have no context for the quality of the translation, so thanks for letting me know! I now know to look out for the mic, if I'm having trouble remembering the date range.
@@DadDaughtersandDrinks No worries, I didn’t mean it as a complaint of your video choice. Tough to know that for a first reaction. I’m just pointing out that sometimes, the sophistication, elegance, and poetic undertones can get lost in translation.
You must not have seen many BM videos. You'll see the crowd reacting like this in EVERY Baby Metal song. Their live fans know every song and what to do and when to do it during every song. BM songs are specifically written with crowd interactions "built in". BM fans are referred to as THE ONE because BM considers the fans and their interactions as much a part of Baby Metal as the 3 ladies and the Kami band.

I'm sure everyone was SUPER excited when the 3 thrones started rising. That had to be very emotional.
@DadDaughtersandDrinks I heard people were in tears, and when Su stood up and sang her stage presence, it was incredible 😁🤘🏼🦊
Love this costume!
Would love to see you react to either of their two hypest songs!
1. BMTH Kingslayer ft BabyMetal live in Tokyo
Or
2. Megitsune music video
Thanks for the recommendations. I've been meaning to react to some more of their OMVs, so even though I did Megitsune live I'll still probably put that one higher on the list.
Great reaction, thanks!

@@DadDaughtersandDrinks Awesome, thanks!
I guess those outfits are not very "danceable". So, they only used them for the opening number.
@@road-runner That's a completely fair point. Props to them for going the extra mile for just one song then! (esp. considering the historical significance of this performance)
Hi from Ireland. Great choice this one and monochrome live at pia amongst my favourites, can I request a sumetal solo Amore live at Wembley if you can fit it in😊
Sure thing - added to the list!
@@DadDaughtersandDrinks 🙂😊
Su's voice...stronger and more beautiful on every song ❤
I really should sometime soon look at some videos released over time to see her vocal progression
@@DadDaughtersandDrinks Go back to her beginning when she was in a little group called Karen girls. They did music for a Japanese anime. She was oh so young.
