Great reaction. Just Su-metal's 16th birthday celebration, nothing out of the ordinary, I'm sure lots of girls celebrate their 16th by having their friends crucify them while 8 or 9000 people chant 'Death Death Death!' #notacult 🤘🦊🤘
There are a couple of homages in this performance - the neck brace she receives in order to become the metal goddess is an homage to X Japan's drummer Yoshiki, the statue crumbling pays homage to Metallica's 1989 Justice For All tour.
This was the biggest and most elaborate concert they had done up to this point - by quite a long way. It was the final stage of their separation from Sakura Gakuin towards finally becoming an independent band in their own right and it was their way of separating themselves as a band from Idol culture.
Good one, thanks!
Lyrics actually say "DEATH!". 🤣
This is the closing number from Legend 1997 - Su-metal seitan sai (Su-metal's birthday party) held on December 21st 2013 to celebrate her 16th birthday (it was the previous day).
The whole concert is an allegory about BABYMETAL's evolution from a J-pop idol group sub-unit to a legit metal band. And this final number symbolizes the necessary sacrifice of Su-metal as an idol and human to reborn as a Metal Goddess.
Of course, this kind of use of Christian imagery pisses off some people but the fact is that Christians represent a minority in Japan (around 1.5%). Funnily enough many entities, mainly nonprofit organizations and even educative institutions such as universities, are run or were initially founded by Christians. So, here (and on the more recent video) they are using this symbology just because it's cool without any intention of bothering anyone.
🤘🦊
Nice one👊🏽⚡️This is definitely a work of art as a performance. 🦊⚡️
i saw the last show of the babymetal/dethklok tour (appropriately enough at the you tube theater). i have the full babymetal set and segments of the dethklok set in a playlist on my channel if you're interested. it wasn't one of the huge arena type babymetal shows,but it was amazing in its own way.
oh id bne down to check them out for sure love me some dethklok
Love this song. Both Legend 1997 and Babymetal Begins Clear Night versions are epic in their own ways. This one for the sheer shock value, and the 2024 version as it's Momo's first "Momometal Desu!!".
Babymetal will be joining Dethklok again Apr 24th and 25th along with Dragonfroce and Necrogoblikon at the Masonic in San Francisco!
🤘🦊
Thats an insane line up id definitely would love to see that show lol
great reaction🤘🦊MIKIO and YUI are on stage.makes me cry 😢
yeah it was great seeing Mikio and yui again!
🤘🦊🤘
you should checkout the Legend S Baptism XX version, where the Goddess sacrifices herself to the Light in order to become the messiah for the Golden Generation and man there is alot of fire, I mean a baptism of fire, very theatrical and epic.
hmm id be down to check it out for sure ill add it
For those who say BABYMETAL is not metal, I present you with BABYMETAL Death.😉
OTFGK, but an interesting take posted on BABYMETAL REDDIT by VulpineDeity:
Take it a step farther. Not only does 'SU-METAL DESU' mean she's introducing herself, it's also her super-hero transformation phrase.
Like on Sailor Moon, Usagi says 'Moon Prism Power!' and turns into Sailor Moon, Suzuka Nakamoto shouts 'I AM SU-METAL' and becomes possessed by the spirit of the Fox God and transforms into the Metal Goddess SU-METAL.
The magical girl who transforms into a hero is a huge trope in Japan, comparable to Disney princesses in the west. BABYMETAL DEATH! follows the trope and it's the moment that they all transform into their magical alter egos at the start of the show.
🦊 🦊 🦊 🖖 ❤
Babymetal did adopt and integrate cult-ish scenes into this song and stage performance.😂😂
In the ancient time, when a religion sacrificed young woman, it's for everybody's own sake. Of course everyone whoever joined the ceremony would YELL at the young woman "DEATH". "This is Su-metal!" would be a short of "Remember! I am the one who volunteerly sacrificed myself for all of you!""WAIT FOR MY REBORN!" Babymetal just recreated the scene, in mean time, they also introduced themselves "DESU".
Fans knew the stories have been told in the early concerts. Any newer version would be just a reminder.
Nice reaction, by the way!🎉🎉
thanks glad you enjoyed it i digged the overall aesthetic of the concert!
I knew the guy that hit the switch on the pyro that burnt James Hetfield.
#notacult
This is DEFINITELY the correct version!
This is the best version, you are good... The performance is key. You will be doing the dishes singing "Death, Death, Death." while doing the sideways headbang from Headbanger.
i was saying that i when i was working lol
🤘🦊🤘 #notacult Honestly I like the newest version better, sounds, quality etc... but that is just me. Since this version is mostly just used for chock value with the stage show...
I agree, the newer version hits a lot harder musically. Legend 1997 is cool because of the visuals but I've seen that one about 8 million times so it's not so shocking for me anymore.
Please try momo Headbangers scream melodious.
well add it to the list probably my favorite babymetal song
The Fox God has sacrificed a Jpop idol and reborn into a metal goddess queen. We've been blessed by the Fox God.🙌
-NotACult- 🦊🤘💀
This is another song they brought back to live concerts in this World Tour 2023/2024 as an opener after 2017 (when YuiMetal was still in the group) and fans are really glad with this come back, although here they're using as an ender as part of this special event.
Song is heavy but wait until you hear Babymetal Death Shin Ver. from Budokan 2021 or "Sis Anger" to decide which one is heavier. You can find the kamishibai (narrated intro) translated in the description box if you're watching GuilhermeCait clip.
If you're a Metallica fan you can spot the beggining riffs of _"One"_ song, as well of the -"virgen mary"- image behind (it's not, it's SuMetal resembles and Lady Justice Metallica tribute, even the statue crumbling down is an homage) they're truly BM sensei and they support the group too. Our girls said this is one of the most physical demanding song, and you can see the reason why, they normally used this song as an opener and a way to warm up for next performances, in this rare exception this was at the end of the show, an epic finale.
This was during SuMetal 16th birthday, the same place you probably saw at Gimme Chocolate!! MV and she was sacrificed as a j-pop idol and reborn as a metal goddess queen, the Fox God has bless all of us. -NotACult- 👀
The neckbrace is part of BM lore and you can see it first during Headbanger!! official MV, Yoshiki (pianist and drummer on X-Japan) suffer serious injuries during a live concert while headbanging so hard (this was way back before BabyMetal was even created), after that he needs to use neckbrace to avoid doing that movement, he still playing and being active, he's a living legend.
They are singing their names as a way to introduce themselves in japanese way but with the pun intended play of words: "SuMetal desu" means "I'm SuMetal" but she is trying to say "SuMetal death", same for the rest of girls with their respective names, and the rest of the song is:
"B - A - B -Y - M - E - T - A - L DEATH! DEATH! DEATH! DEATH!"
Back then when doing promotional, TV interviews and introducing they did it the same way, you can look for a long vid with all these clips of them saying this kawaii introduction. They were taught to say "th" of "death" word by bitting their tonges at the end to pronounce this the right way, but they added a wink looking like this 😜
You'll see many Japanese fans ended their sentences and comments with "death" to remember this, unlike western fans like me. Btw it's been long since they didn't that introduction and during an interview at "Fox 5" we saw the intro once again and with MomoMetal this time, they also did it in a couple of more interviews recently.
KobaMetal (the producer behind BM) said that when he was travelling for concerts abroads around 2015 he came to know a band like Ghosts and he was interested in discover that band doing the almost same thing they're were doing theatrically and artistically, so anyone thinking those bands are satanic and such they're just saying nonsenses, they're just doing a show in which they're playing a role, and in order to be convincent (like an actor in a movie film) they need to perform their part like they're mean it, and the audience must be part of it and they're an important ingredient because other way it wouldn't work. That's why we said all the time "notacult", unless you actually are or want to feel part of it. ;)
Oh and just a note aside for anyone thinking this is disrespectful to western religion and whatnot, is not! KobaMetal explained he needed to make a bridge between fans and them so they can familiarizing with the BM concept with images the fans already knew, in this case he used the Neon Genesis Evangelion anime series as a drive vehicule which is heavily influenced by christianity, kabbalah, gnosticism and even islam symbolism, imagery and iconography, the plot on this was never took as a blasphemy for any religion and it was mostly used for aesthetic reasons, same for BabyMetal, it was used to represent the "Death and Rebirth" concept of SuMetal own role persona while having a bridge between fantasy and reality, the reality is she decided to end up her idol career (death) with Sakura Gakuin and commit herself to this new rol (rebirth) as a metal queen for BabyMetal.
Sorry if this sound as a rant but i just keep seeing BM fans and general people who still don't get it.
You already saw the new live version with the new official member MomoMetal which they do regular as an intro unlike this special version, but you'll find some others special events playing this song such live at Legend S 2017 or BMD Shin Version live at Budokan 2021.
Next suggestion:
- YAVA! with Kami Band intro live at Five Fox Festival 2017.
Thanks for sharing this and see you next time 🦊🤘💀
