@@KytexEdits you're right.. and I have more respect for writers who also have the talent to preform their music.. like me.. lol. Babymetal and their writers have an incredible partnership.. the Kami band probably didn't need to be coached at all.. I think the girls went through a lot of training and hours and hours of practice being so young.. but damn if it didn't pay off.. when they're on stage it's like magic and that's strictly from being great artist.. I've been waiting on some original stuff from em.. maybe after the contract runs out.. lol
Su in her hometown for her birthday. No Yui for the first time. Last time with Mikio.... This concert had a lot going on and no one knew it. Moa stepped up and our Queen Su slayed all night.
This is a rare performance of this song. Su was performing it before the first album was released and it could have been included, but she was not satisfied that she was doing it justice as she felt she was concentrating most on getting the lyrics and tune right, she didn't feel she was expressing the emotion well enough. It was only when, at one performance, she saw some of the audience crying that she realised she could move people emotionally and only then was the song was included in the second album. Leda Cygnus of the Kami Band wrote the guitar arrangements, this was the first time he was not there to play it. Instead Miko Fujioka was making his very last appearance with Babymetal, he tragically died just a couple of weeks later ... there is a line in the song which says "We shall never meet again, but I want not to forget you forever." At that moment in this video the camera focuses on Mikio. There was an introductory video played just before Su sang this referencing the Atom bomb and the acid rain that fell on Hiroshima. This is a subject Su feels very strongly about as it is her home town, so maybe that was why she was also so emotional in this performance. This was a special occasion as she made her triumphant return to her home town for the first time with Babymetal for her 20th birthday.
⚡ / ☂️ 🌈 'No Rain, No Rainbow' has only been performed five times (including both of the 'Legend S' concerts in Hiroshima), and never outside of Japan. It is always a crowd favorite and a special event, whenever it is performed live. The 'Legend S' video is especially meaningful when you realize that they have a close-up on Mikio Fujioka (RIP) during this part of the song: "Nidoto ae-nai kedo, wasure-naide itai yo." (We shall never meet again, but I want not to forget you forever.) These two concerts on back-to-back nights were the first BABYMETAL performances ever in Hiroshima, Su's birthplace and home prefecture.
Our Queen . . . I love this performance of "No Rain, No Rainbow". I will leave it to the experts to give you the detailed background on this concert but it was Suu's return to her hometown of Hiroshima, the first concert without Yui, and the last we would see of Mikio (RIP)
Yeah this performance is emotional for so many reasons : ( But that song, my God, it's helped me through a really tough time. My aunt and grandmother who were my mother figures both died in the same year two years ago and the lyrics of this song, the way Su delivers it so powerfully, it's been one of the main things that helped me with grieving. I often sing along with it too. That song is just so special to me.
"It looks like she's about to cry" - I can't pretend to know what Su was thinking during this but it's one of their more emotional songs and this show was the first time they preformed without Yui (They said that she was sick at the time but she never performed with Babymetal again after this). The entire show was a bit surreal as it was one of their bigger budget shows but all the choreography was kept the same so they were doing routines designed for 3 people with only the two on stage. Mikio died a month later. It was an extremely rough time for Babymetal and their fans.
On top of all that, it was apparently Su's birthday and first time to perform (Homecoming) in her home town of Hiroshima. Then Yui is so sick she can't perform. This must have been a rough one to keep composure. CC
@@CHRISCONTEPSS To go even deeper into your comment: Su has very strong feelings regarding the bombing of Hiroshima at the end of WWII and this song is (as I have heard from others) partly about that in some way, speaking of the irradiated acid rain that fell on the victims after the bombing.
@@CHRISCONTEPSS And even at her young age Su's a pro, and the show must go on. Betcha she and Moa shared some tears in their dressing room when the show was over.
@@mr.osclasses5054 Would not at all be surprised by this. I have heard about similar expression hiding behind "Gimmie Chocolate" . .Apparently when US GI's went to visit Hiroshima after the war (to verify the destruction, catalogue the damage etc) they would have chocolate bars with them. The orphan children roaming around would ask them for Chocolate. The rub is it became the first words in English Japanese kids would learn. Weather this or the sentiment you mentioned about NRNR were intentional is only known by the lyricists and the fox god. Either way an artist interprets the composition with their own soul. . .and this is beautiful. CC
@@CHRISCONTEPSS That is interesting. I had not heard about that for GC, but I can absolutely see that being the case as there were a lot of GI's who mentioned that when recalling their time either in Europe or the Pacific later in life, and you can see that happening at least once (in Europe) in the miniseries, Band of Brothers when one gives chocolate to a little Dutch Boy. I love teaching and discussing those little human moments with my students. They learn to appreciate things more when it is put on the level of just regular people, not the higher-up's and military leaders, and now that I've discovered BABYMETAL and this song, I may try to incorporate it into a lesson about the end of the war. That said, I agree 100%. While it is a bit vague, I believe others have read interviews done by Su where she discusses the bombing and/or how (if) this song is part of that. It is an incredibly beautiful song no matter how you look at it.
This song has only been performed 5 times. Su puts 120% into it and you can feel it. Listening to her voice and the guitars you can feel the power. Like we have told you Babymetal can do so many different styles and on paper should not work but they make it work. Keep it up. When you start reacting to old stuff with Su being like 8 9 years old singing you know you are hard core fans.
> "She's got a whole symphony out there..." "orchestra" is the word. *NO RAIN, NO RAINBOW* (Yamanai Ame / Endless Rain) Why can't I sleep? Why does the night end? I don't want anything, even tomorrow, the future without you. Why was I smiling? Why so though I was feeling lonely? Nobody knows that I really just wanted you to be by my side. Even the despair becomes the light. Though an endless rain continues to fall. Even the despair becomes the light. A sad rain throws a rainbow far far away. We shall never meet again, but I want not to forget you forever. If the dream continues, I wish I'll never wake up from it. Why was I smiling? Why so though I was feeling lonely? Nobody knows that I really just wanted to see you. That was all. Even the despair becomes the light. Though an endless rain continues to fall. Even the despair becomes the light. A sad rain throws a rainbow even now. An endless rain fills my heart forever.
Why can't i sleep? どうして眠れないの? Why is the night ending? どうして夜は終わるの? I don't need anything, even tomorrow いらない 何も 明日さえも A future without you 君がいない未来 Why did you laugh どうして笑ってたの? Why were you lonely どうして? 寂しかったのに No one knows 誰も 知らない 本当はただ I wanted you to be by my side そばにいて欲しかった Even despair turns into light 絶望さえも 光になる Even if it continues to rain 止まない雨が 降り続いても Even despair turns into light 絶望さえも 光になる The sad rain will cover the rainbow 悲しい雨が 虹をかけるよ どこまでも I'll never see you again 二度と会えないけど Don't forget 忘れないでいたいよ If your dreams continue, don't wake up 夢が続くなら 覚めないで Why did you laugh どうして笑ってたの? Why were you lonely どうして? 寂しかったのに No one knows 誰も 知らない 本当はただ I just wanted to meet you 会いたい それだけだった Even despair turns into light 絶望さえも 光になる Even if it continues to rain 止まない雨が 降り続いても Even despair turns into light 絶望さえも 光になる The sad rain will cast a rainbow 悲しい雨が 虹をかけるよ 今も The unstoppable rain will fill my heart forever 止まない雨が こころ満たすよ いつまでも
Many thanks for your reaction from Japan 有難う💛。Su-Metal cries, you guys cry, the viewers cry and I cry, because we are human. Let's be moved emotionally more. Please try this special "Akasuki Unfinished ver". The song starts from 01:00 after a narration in Japanese : czcams.com/video/qhFLOy19mxA/video.html 16-year-old Su will make you cry again.
Another great Babymetal Monday reaction. This was on her 20th birthday, in Dec 2017, so she's 22 1/2 now. Moa is 21 in a week (4th July) so you can share a beer with them both! Sad to think that was the lead guitarist, Mikio's, last filmed performance as he fell off an observation tower about 10 days later, on New Years Eve, while enjoying his hobby of astronomy, and died the following week. The lyrics are heartbreaking (which accounts for Su's tears). Here's the last bit, after the guitar solo - Why was I smiling? Why so though I was feeling lonely? Nobody knows that I really just wanted to see you. That was all. Even the despair becomes the light. Though an endless rain continues to fall. Even the despair becomes the light. A sad rain throws a rainbow even now. An endless rain fills my heart forever.
As a long time BABYMETAL fan, and having seen Mikio, one of the two guitarists on this video, in live shows numerous times (I lost count but I probably saw him more than 15 times), this performance, his last performance with BABYMETAL before leaving us, absolutely crushes me. I cried when I heard that he passed away, and it surprised me cause I never cried like this for the death of a "public figure" before that. It really wrecked me and it's still kinda hard to watch videos of him, especially on this song which is so beautiful... You should react to Starlight next, which is a song that is considered being dedicated to him.
Here we are again... Where are my tissues? 😢 For me, this is the most beautiful Su's performance.. And for sure even one of the most beautiful and most emotional music performance ever. If you want more of this kind of stuff, there's one more her performance which can compare to this one.. and as you already watched the original version, this could me next.. Akatsuki (unfinished ver.) Legend 1997 czcams.com/video/zS-gB0wYeM0/video.html
Su will be 23 in December. The first couple of times I listened to this song I lost it too, I'm not ashamed to say it either, Su is the ultimate professional.
ps. .try to watch it knowing this was Mikio's last performance with BabyMetal before he died . . . he was a beautiful smiley little soul! RIP Kogami . .
Suzuka just turn 22 on december 20 of the 2019 and Moa turn 21 this next july 4 😁 great reaction btw!! This one hit in the feellings especially with the teared eyes of Su-Metal and the awesome armonic guitar solos of Mikio (RIP) and Takayoshi... Also the bass when BOH hit those first notes just feel's really well!! Another great video thanks!! Kitsune up!! 🤘🦊🤘
and Yui just turned 21 last week or the week before. She might not be there anymore, but she still deserves the love for the time and effort she put into it.
Hey guys..just wanted you to know that you do great reactions to BabyMetal...I am a 70 yr old BabyMetal head, that found this group back in 2016, and have been following them ever since...another great song from these ladies is...The One...this is what they call all their fans...a very epic song...check it out...Almost forgot to request ...Yava...another good song by these ladies...
LEGEND S - Legend Su-Metal BAPTISM XX - Su's 20th bday HIROSHIMA - Su's hometown They even change the lyrics for "Headbanger" "Ichigo no yoru o" - in the night of my 15th "Hatachigo no yoru o" - in the night of my 20th
You guys need to go see them live. Nothing compares to their energy. I’ve been to see them three times. They feed off of the crowd and we feed off of them. It’s amazing. Y’all gotta watch the Headbanger version where Moa sings Su’s part on her birthday. Anyone who doubts Moa’s singing needs to watch it.
The show from which this live clip is from will be actually streamed from youtube on sunday this week. (on the 28th of June) Not sure what time in America but you should keep your heads up for it. It's just Su and Moa together, no Yui and no avengers, also maybe biggest stage show i have seen from them (i have seen the show already). Moa also does black Babymetal songs all alone, while thhe crowd sings Yui's parts, crowd also sings Yui's parts on the other songs aswell. Really a great show and a must see for sure.
@@glenkelley6799 Thanks, I hope I will remember to watch it. I can wake up that early. I would love to see it. I cant wait to be going to Japan in August. I have 3 weeks
When I hear this song I remember people saying, because they don't write their own songs they can't sing them with any passion. That always gives me a good laugh.
LOL, is that what people say ? Su-metal did mention in an early interview she can take months up to half a year to get a feel for a song. As you might know, she does everything by feeling.
That's a stupid thing to say, so many artists sing with true passion and never wrote any songs themselves... those are just stoopid haters... Kitsune up, Po!
This song is a tribute to X Japan's "Endless Rain". Speaking of which, you guys should react to some X Japan, they were Kobametal's favourite band and one of his biggest inspirations when he put Babymetal together. Here's a link to one of their best ever performances, would be awesome if you guys checked it out. czcams.com/video/3jtXEpMiEPw/video.html
Some say X-Japan was maybe inspired by Price Purple Rain. And Guns N Roses November Rain was inspired them too. I kind of hope it's true, because that would put Babymetal in an amazing list of artists :-)
About the "Hold my beer or hold my soda" issue 😆 This clip is from a concert called Legend S - Baptism XX, for Su's 20th birthday and it was in Hiroshima, her hometown. Moa was 18 at that time. Today, Su is 22 years old, and she will be 23 on december 20th. While Moa's 21st birthday is on july 4th. （The age of majority in Japan is 20）
And Yui just turned 21. Sorry, been doing this to everyone who leaves her out. She put in so much to the group and had it ripped away due to injury or illness, she should still get the love and be remembered.
Intro for this song at Legend S. The bright beam of light that wiped all light from the world also ceased people's light of hope. The skies turned dark and endless rain fell upon the people who had lost all their light and hope. But endless rain doesn't exist and the people hope of black skies to clear out so the heavens can restore the light that had been lost They hope to discover that there's happiness at the end of sorrow and they pray for light of hope to return to them. This show was at Hiroshima Green Arena, near the Hiroshima Ground Zero. It is Suzuka hometown, and this live show was made in honor to her at her city. Also there were strong problems with Yui here already, and this was the first live show she couldn't perform. Also was the last for Mikio, before he died on an accident (the guy of the guitar solo).
Mikiko, BABYMETAL's choreographer and mentor, told Su that a singer needs to feel the emotion in a song, but also that a singer must never cry on stage. As others have mentioned, due to this being the first time YUI is not present, and the fact that they were performing in Hiroshima (her home town) for the very first time and to celebrate her 20th BD, SU was almost in tears, but was able to hold it. You had noticed that she was tearing up! This is why I feel this particular performance of this song is her best!
So happy to see tow guys that love all kinds and aspects of music. Ran the lyrics through Google Translate. I could see why Su-Metal would shed a tear. No Rain, No Rainbow English Lyrics Why can't i sleep? Why is the night over? I don't need anything, even tomorrow A future without you Why did you laugh Why were you lonely No one knows I wanted you to be by my side Even despair turns into light Even if it rains unstoppably Even despair turns into light A sad rain will cast a rainbow forever I'll never see you again Don't forget If your dreams continue, don't wake up Why did you laugh Why were you lonely No one knows I just wanted to meet you Even despair turns into light Even if it rains unstoppably Even despair turns into light A sad rain will cast a rainbow The unstoppable rain will fill my heart forever
Even though I know this version Su got me again and made me cry. Should have waited till day or after work. Now I have to go sleeping with tears on my pillow.😅Thanks guys.
This song was for one of the band members who got killed, they will never play this song sadly outside of Japan. So is the song Starlight, that one is for the guitarist who fell to his death off the stage.
I have strong reasons to drop some tears every time I particularly watch this performance. I'm sure all the old BM fans know the reasons and can't avoid dropping some tears, too. If not, I'm sure they feel sad because of the memories.
I‘m a sucker for good ballads, and when I heard this song for the first time, I was so damn happy that BABYMETAL are delivering on that front as well. All the people saying that BABYMETAL are fake should look at Su‘s eyes at 5:58 (of your video) and wash out their mouths with soap. I have been listening to BABYMETAL every single day for the last three years, and this song has yet to fail to make me cry. Either they are great, or I‘m the most wimpy guy out there (OK, maybe both).
This performance/concert is a very emotional one for all BM fans. This is from Legend S - Baptism XX concert. A 2 day concert in Su's hometown of Hiroshima to celebrate her 20th birthday (she will be 23 in Dec 2020). 20 is the age you're considered an adult in Japan so is a very special birthday. What makes this even more emotional is this is the first time without Yui who had to pull out just days before due to illness (Yui never performed again with BM) and this is the last BM show with guitar legend Mikio (aka ko-gami, who is seen close to the end playing).. sadly he died only weeks later. Finally Su has only ever perfomed this song live 5 times. She performed a few times when younger but said she did not have the appropriate emotional experience to do it justice so it got put on hold until these 2 shows where she knocks it out of the park. That moment you noticed when she is singing nears tears then BANG power Su switches in.
WOW! This was amazing and I lost it... again! And I will lost it again next Sunday on their live streaming of Legend S. This one really moves me in an incredible way and I'm not ashamed about it. Good job guys!
When she was very young and studying at Actors School Hiroshima, Su made a promise to her dance teacher (who would go onto be Babymetal's choreographer) that she would never cry onstage. Although this was a very emotional show for all the reasons other people in the comments have mentioned, and she came very close to it during this song in particular, she has kept that promise to this day.
Love your reacts. Do "From Dusk Til Dawn" next. Sorry I don't have a link to it. Peace and stay safe. BTW Su is 22 now. Moa will 21 this July 4th. Yui just turn 21 on June 20th.
You don't have to speak a language to understand. I think you can feel the emotions in this song, and it was certainly very emotional for Su himself. Very well done.
As others have said this is very emotional performance for Babymetal and the fans. The first show without Yui-Chan, Mikita dies a month later (brown guitar), Su’s hometown show for the first time. Hiroshima, Su’s home of course has the horrible history of the atomic bomb, something Su has talked about in the past. All this leads to an amazing almost painful performance to watch. Great job guys.
Sad facts: It was the first time that Babymetal was missing a member - Yui - She never return. That was the last time Mikio was on stage with Babymetal - A month later he passed away.
One my all top fav songs, su for sure think she was going to cry, Baptism XX well be live this sunday on 28 on babymetal channel you guys need watch the full live, oh so you need react to the one, oh so good song! peace from zuki.
"She can sing bro, I'm sorry." We are not ! ;-) I would say this is rock/metal ballad, not Symphonic Metal. Emotion and passion is her strong point and conveying that in the past way possible. Or as she ones said about Babymetal live: No thinking, just feel it ! :-) This show was at Legend S, her 20th birthday show, which is when you are in an adult in Japan. Moa and thus also Yui are also old enough now to be adults. But two of the 3 Avengers are not. Legend S is in Suzuka's hometown of Hiroshima, she always wanted to come back perform there to show everything she had learned. To bad the show didn't go as planned because Yuimetal couldn't perform of health reasons. It would have been one of their best shows yet, they pulled out all the stops. An amazing stage set up, etc.
@@hugoa2637 Kobametal mentioned in an interview, this song has many influences. "Musically speaking, it was in line with Billy Joel - Honesty" The interviewer and me laughed at that. :-) Wikipedia mentioned about the song Honesty: "the track is a predecessor of the power ballads of the 1980s and 1990s" If you want to call it a powerballad, fine by me. But let's remember it's very likely also a reference to X-Japan's Endless Rain, some say that's might have been influenced by Purple Rain from Prince and maybe Guns N Roses November Rain was influenced by that. And thus maybe No Rain, No Rainbow would fit that list. It would be great if it did.
I really enjoy watchin you guys . Real reactions , respect . I love Babymetal . Honestly , you guys could react to every song off their 3 albums . They are all good . Thanks again
Congrats on 20k subs! The thing about Su is - I've probably watched every live Babymetal video there is on CZcams and, 10 years worth of live performances and you can probably count the total number of bum notes on one hand. That's crazy, esp considering the kinda shows they put on. Phenomenal.
Love your guys Babymetal Mondays. So now you know about tool fans. Babymetal fans. Then maybe you need to invite one of the most rabid and loyal fan bases of all. Slayer fans!!!
You need react to black babymetal too. They are also part of the magic of babymetal. Su is power, kamiband is technique, and Yui and Moa are effort, kawai and choreography. I feel that they also deserve recognition, Su, the kamiband and they are spectacular in their respective role.I recommend 4 no uta. But the other songs are also great. (GJ, Onedari daikasusen and Sis anger)
I want people from overseas to know. SU-METAL was born in Hiroshima. I love peace and pray that it will never happen again. This song is the cry of SU-METAL's heart. Thank you.
Her talent. Knows no bounds she just gets better with time and a rip mikio I can only imagine how hard it was for her loose one of her group and then a band mates dies and yui left before this and they were like family so ya she had to be majorly emotional
I'm not really into ballads, but when Su and or BABYMETAL does a ballad, I always watch to the end. There is something about their passion for music and performing that just grabs me and won't let go. She is most definitely the power behind the throne that is Amuse Inc. I just hope that this company does right by Su and Moa and also the Kami Band. This is epic music from the beginning to the ending, which we all hope is a long ways away!
Not Symphonic metal bro it's a Power Ballad.. It was the Queen 20th birthday in her home prefecture Hiroshima, the whole Nakamoto family was there.. The saddest truth about this concert was Mikio Fujioka's last performance with Babymetal 5:43 he had a terrible accident on December 30, 2017 and he passed away on January 5, 2018.
The part that I wonder about is if it is just one thing, two things, or just the emotion/effort put into it (I tear up watching it without even thinking of anything, thus the last part there). If you think about it, it could be because of Yui having to be out with whatever the issue was for her (illness or injury), it could be Su's deep feelings regarding the use of the atomic bomb on her hometown of Hiroshima at the end of WWII, or if it is just spontaneous, which is why she could get control of it so quickly and transform it into her death stare at the end of that note. It is impressive to understand that Su herself shelved the song early on because she didn't feel like she had lived enough of her life to understand the power and emotion that should be put into it. To have someone at the age of about 16 (or younger) have that type of self-reflection is rare. It is also what leads me to believe it could be because of Yui that she tears up, but this performance was at home, so again I go back to not knowing. Still, such a great performance and so powerful. She just keeps getting better!
BABYMETAL MONDAY!! To know Yui-metal can't join this concert because of health issues and it was Su's special birthday concert at Su's homeland, made this song even more sad and emotional.. And it was Mikio-san's last performance (the guitarist, R.I.P)
Love Baby Metal Mondy. Tool Tuesday is still my favorite though. Can you guys review Hed(pe) Renegade? Awesome song, and one hell of a rebellious messege!
I'm a 60 year old rocker.. been on stage for 45 years.. Babymetal has stolen and earned my heart.. most original band to ever exist..
Well, the guy who came up with the project and did all their writing, yes. Band doesn't write.
@@KytexEdits you're right.. and I have more respect for writers who also have the talent to preform their music.. like me.. lol. Babymetal and their writers have an incredible partnership.. the Kami band probably didn't need to be coached at all.. I think the girls went through a lot of training and hours and hours of practice being so young.. but damn if it didn't pay off.. when they're on stage it's like magic and that's strictly from being great artist.. I've been waiting on some original stuff from em.. maybe after the contract runs out.. lol
藤岡幹大さん最後の雄姿です、、、二度と会えないけど忘れないでいたいよ、、、僕たちはあなたを忘れません、、、永遠に、、、絶対に、、、。

そして女神は避ける事のできない不幸な出来事を知っているかの様に思えてならない、、、、、、。
First time concert with out YUI Metal and last concert with Mikio Fujioka before he passed away on january 2018😭😭
If the lyrics weren't sad enough then you have this last version of this song of the early Babymetal era losing YIU and Mikio.
@@yakidin63 right it had to hit her hard they were like family
Ugh! So many emotions😭
Fat old bikers don't cry .....that's a lie ...a Su Metal sings from her heart one ...
that's before the back story ...thanks for the info
Su started to cry but held it back
歌い出しで泣き、サビで泣き、間奏でまた泣いて、あとは最後まで涙が止まらない……
Su-の真っ直ぐな歌声に、広島という土地、そして小神様の姿が被るともういかん！
心に刺さる名演。
Su in her hometown for her birthday. No Yui for the first time. Last time with Mikio.... This concert had a lot going on and no one knew it. Moa stepped up and our Queen Su slayed all night.
This is a rare performance of this song. Su was performing it before the first album was released and it could have been included, but she was not satisfied that she was doing it justice as she felt she was concentrating most on getting the lyrics and tune right, she didn't feel she was expressing the emotion well enough. It was only when, at one performance, she saw some of the audience crying that she realised she could move people emotionally and only then was the song was included in the second album.
Leda Cygnus of the Kami Band wrote the guitar arrangements, this was the first time he was not there to play it. Instead Miko Fujioka was making his very last appearance with Babymetal, he tragically died just a couple of weeks later ... there is a line in the song which says "We shall never meet again, but I want not to forget you forever." At that moment in this video the camera focuses on Mikio.
There was an introductory video played just before Su sang this referencing the Atom bomb and the acid rain that fell on Hiroshima. This is a subject Su feels very strongly about as it is her home town, so maybe that was why she was also so emotional in this performance. This was a special occasion as she made her triumphant return to her home town for the first time with Babymetal for her 20th birthday.
I tear up every time I watch this.
@@Gary-Ellis me too. I know what's coming and all the back-story but the onion-cutting ninjas still sneak up on me.

'No Rain, No Rainbow' has only been performed five times (including both of the 'Legend S' concerts in Hiroshima), and never outside of Japan.
It is always a crowd favorite and a special event, whenever it is performed live.
The 'Legend S' video is especially meaningful when you realize that they have a close-up on Mikio Fujioka (RIP) during this part of the song:
"Nidoto ae-nai kedo, wasure-naide itai yo."
(We shall never meet again, but I want not to forget you forever.)
These two concerts on back-to-back nights were the first BABYMETAL performances ever in Hiroshima, Su's birthplace and home prefecture.
No rain no rainbow is SU metal solo. Concert is Legend S Baptism XX live Hiroshima Green Arena on December 2017. Special SU Metal birthday
And that concert will be streamed on CZcams next Sunday on BM channel 😉
Our Queen . . . I love this performance of "No Rain, No Rainbow".
I will leave it to the experts to give you the detailed background on this concert but it was Suu's return to her hometown of Hiroshima, the first concert without Yui, and the last we would see of Mikio (RIP)
Yeah this performance is emotional for so many reasons : ( But that song, my God, it's helped me through a really tough time. My aunt and grandmother who were my mother figures both died in the same year two years ago and the lyrics of this song, the way Su delivers it so powerfully, it's been one of the main things that helped me with grieving.

@@mr.osclasses5054 Would not at all be surprised by this. I have heard about similar expression hiding behind "Gimmie Chocolate" . .Apparently when US GI's went to visit Hiroshima after the war (to verify the destruction, catalogue the damage etc) they would have chocolate bars with them. The orphan children roaming around would ask them for Chocolate. The rub is it became the first words in English Japanese kids would learn. Weather this or the sentiment you mentioned about NRNR were intentional is only known by the lyricists and the fox god. Either way an artist interprets the composition with their own soul. . .and this is beautiful. CC
@@CHRISCONTEPSS That is interesting. I had not heard about that for GC, but I can absolutely see that being the case as there were a lot of GI's who mentioned that when recalling their time either in Europe or the Pacific later in life, and you can see that happening at least once (in Europe) in the miniseries, Band of Brothers when one gives chocolate to a little Dutch Boy.
I love teaching and discussing those little human moments with my students. They learn to appreciate things more when it is put on the level of just regular people, not the higher-up's and military leaders, and now that I've discovered BABYMETAL and this song, I may try to incorporate it into a lesson about the end of the war.
That said, I agree 100%. While it is a bit vague, I believe others have read interviews done by Su where she discusses the bombing and/or how (if) this song is part of that. It is an incredibly beautiful song no matter how you look at it.
This song has only been performed 5 times. Su puts 120% into it and you can feel it. Listening to her voice and the guitars you can feel the power. Like we have told you Babymetal can do so many different styles and on paper should not work but they make it work. Keep it up. When you start reacting to old stuff with Su being like 8 9 years old singing you know you are hard core fans.

"orchestra" is the word.
*NO RAIN, NO RAINBOW* (Yamanai Ame / Endless Rain)
Why can't I sleep?
Why does the night end?
I don't want anything, even tomorrow,
the future without you.
Why was I smiling?
Why so though I was feeling lonely?
Nobody knows that I really just
wanted you to be by my side.
Even the despair becomes the light.
Though an endless rain continues to fall.
Even the despair becomes the light.
A sad rain throws a rainbow
far far away.
We shall never meet again,
but I want not to forget you forever.
If the dream continues, I wish I'll never wake up from it.
Why was I smiling?
Why so though I was feeling lonely?
Nobody knows that I really just
wanted to see you. That was all.
Even the despair becomes the light.
Though an endless rain continues to fall.
Even the despair becomes the light.
A sad rain throws a rainbow
even now.
An endless rain fills my heart
forever.
Translation by DU-METAL
Why can't i sleep?
どうして眠れないの?
Why is the night ending?
どうして夜は終わるの?
I don't need anything, even tomorrow
いらない 何も 明日さえも
A future without you
君がいない未来
Why did you laugh
どうして笑ってたの?
Why were you lonely

止まない雨が 降り続いても
Even despair turns into light
絶望さえも 光になる
The sad rain will cover the rainbow
悲しい雨が 虹をかけるよ どこまでも
I'll never see you again
二度と会えないけど
Don't forget
忘れないでいたいよ
If your dreams continue, don't wake up
夢が続くなら 覚めないで
Why did you laugh
どうして笑ってたの?
Why were you lonely

会いたい それだけだった
Even despair turns into light

絶望さえも 光になる
The sad rain will cast a rainbow
悲しい雨が 虹をかけるよ 今も

Will never tire of the Babymetal reactions 😁✨
Mikio Fujioka’s last concert with babymetal before he tragically passed away (guitarist on left at 5:09)
Many thanks for your reaction from Japan 有難う💛。Su-Metal cries, you guys cry, the viewers cry and I cry, because we are human. Let's be moved emotionally more. Please try this special "Akasuki Unfinished ver". The song starts from 01:00 after a narration in Japanese : czcams.com/video/qhFLOy19mxA/video.html
16-year-old Su will make you cry again.
She really has tho voice of an Angel
Another great Babymetal Monday reaction. This was on her 20th birthday, in Dec 2017, so she's 22 1/2 now. Moa is 21 in a week (4th July) so you can share a beer with them both! Sad to think that was the lead guitarist, Mikio's, last filmed performance as he fell off an observation tower about 10 days later, on New Years Eve, while enjoying his hobby of astronomy, and died the following week. The lyrics are heartbreaking (which accounts for Su's tears). Here's the last bit, after the guitar solo -
Why was I smiling?
Why so though I was feeling lonely?
Nobody knows that I really just
wanted to see you. That was all.
Even the despair becomes the light.
Though an endless rain continues to fall.
Even the despair becomes the light.
A sad rain throws a rainbow
even now.
An endless rain fills my heart
forever.
Yui turned 21 within the last two weeks as well!
I was crying like a bitch when I heard about Mikio...
As a long time BABYMETAL fan, and having seen Mikio, one of the two guitarists on this video, in live shows numerous times (I lost count but I probably saw him more than 15 times), this performance, his last performance with BABYMETAL before leaving us, absolutely crushes me. I cried when I heard that he passed away, and it surprised me cause I never cried like this for the death of a "public figure" before that. It really wrecked me and it's still kinda hard to watch videos of him, especially on this song which is so beautiful... You should react to Starlight next, which is a song that is considered being dedicated to him.
This song always nearly makes me cry, such a beautiful song
Here we are again... Where are my tissues? 😢
For me, this is the most beautiful Su's performance.. And for sure even one of the most beautiful and most emotional music performance ever.
If you want more of this kind of stuff, there's one more her performance which can compare to this one.. and as you already watched the original version, this could me next..
Akatsuki (unfinished ver.) Legend 1997
czcams.com/video/zS-gB0wYeM0/video.html
Su will be 23 in December. The first couple of times I listened to this song I lost it too, I'm not ashamed to say it either, Su is the ultimate professional.
ps. .try to watch it knowing this was Mikio's last performance with BabyMetal before he died . . . he was a beautiful smiley little soul! RIP Kogami . .
I teared up 1st time hearing this and I don't speak a word of Japanese, the power of music!
All hail to the Queen 🙌🏻
This song is about lost love and death for real. Su does shed tears in songs as she sings it
Suzuka just turn 22 on december 20 of the 2019 and Moa turn 21 this next july 4 😁 great reaction btw!! This one hit in the feellings especially with the teared eyes of Su-Metal and the awesome armonic guitar solos of Mikio (RIP) and Takayoshi... Also the bass when BOH hit those first notes just feel's really well!! Another great video thanks!! Kitsune up!! 🤘🦊🤘
and Yui just turned 21 last week or the week before. She might not be there anymore, but she still deserves the love for the time and effort she put into it.
Hey guys..just wanted you to know that you do great reactions to BabyMetal...I am a 70 yr old BabyMetal head, that found this group back in 2016, and have been following them ever since...another great song from these ladies is...The One...this is what they call all their fans...a very epic song...check it out...Almost forgot to request ...Yava...another good song by these ladies...
This was Mikio's last Concert before his Tragic death
LEGEND S - Legend Su-Metal
BAPTISM XX - Su's 20th bday
HIROSHIMA - Su's hometown
They even change the lyrics for "Headbanger"
"Ichigo no yoru o" - in the night of my 15th
"Hatachigo no yoru o" - in the night of my 20th
She has always been a great performer.
You guys need to go see them live. Nothing compares to their energy. I’ve been to see them three times. They feed off of the crowd and we feed off of them. It’s amazing. Y’all gotta watch the Headbanger version where Moa sings Su’s part on her birthday. Anyone who doubts Moa’s singing needs to watch it.
The show from which this live clip is from will be actually streamed from youtube on sunday this week. (on the 28th of June) Not sure what time in America but you should keep your heads up for it. It's just Su and Moa together, no Yui and no avengers, also maybe biggest stage show i have seen from them (i have seen the show already). Moa also does black Babymetal songs all alone, while thhe crowd sings Yui's parts, crowd also sings Yui's parts on the other songs aswell. Really a great show and a must see for sure.
It's so sad that Yui is no longer with the band. Hope she is well.
Show streams at 7am EDT in US
@@glenkelley6799 Thanks, I hope I will remember to watch it. I can wake up that early. I would love to see it. I cant wait to be going to Japan in August. I have 3 weeks
When I hear this song I remember people saying, because they don't write their own songs they can't sing them with any passion. That always gives me a good laugh.
LOL, is that what people say ?
Su-metal did mention in an early interview she can take months up to half a year to get a feel for a song. As you might know, she does everything by feeling.
That's a stupid thing to say, so many artists sing with true passion and never wrote any songs themselves... those are just stoopid haters... Kitsune up, Po!
I'll let Diana know. czcams.com/video/7jv-DQnf2UY/video.html
This song is a tribute to X Japan's "Endless Rain". Speaking of which, you guys should react to some X Japan, they were Kobametal's favourite band and one of his biggest inspirations when he put Babymetal together.
Here's a link to one of their best ever performances, would be awesome if you guys checked it out. czcams.com/video/3jtXEpMiEPw/video.html
Some say X-Japan was maybe inspired by Price Purple Rain. And Guns N Roses November Rain was inspired them too. I kind of hope it's true, because that would put Babymetal in an amazing list of artists :-)
About the "Hold my beer or hold my soda" issue 😆 This clip is from a concert called Legend S - Baptism XX, for Su's 20th birthday and it was in Hiroshima, her hometown. Moa was 18 at that time.
Today, Su is 22 years old, and she will be 23 on december 20th. While Moa's 21st birthday is on july 4th.
（The age of majority in Japan is 20）
And Yui just turned 21. Sorry, been doing this to everyone who leaves her out. She put in so much to the group and had it ripped away due to injury or illness, she should still get the love and be remembered.
Great Reaction once again!! You guys should watch this whole concert thats going to air on the BABYMETAL Channel on Sunday morning.🤟🏽
Nice music nice sound👍
Nice reaction👍 nice singer🤘🦊
nice choice🤘
Intro for this song at Legend S.
The bright beam of light
that wiped all light from the world
also ceased people's light of hope.
The skies turned dark
and endless rain fell upon the people
who had lost all their light and hope.
But endless rain doesn't exist
and the people hope of black skies to clear out
so the heavens can restore the light that had been lost
They hope to discover that there's happiness at the end of sorrow
and they pray for light of hope to return to them.
This show was at Hiroshima Green Arena, near the Hiroshima Ground Zero. It is Suzuka hometown, and this live show was made in honor to her at her city. Also there were strong problems with Yui here already, and this was the first live show she couldn't perform. Also was the last for Mikio, before he died on an accident (the guy of the guitar solo).
Mikiko, BABYMETAL's choreographer and mentor, told Su that a singer needs to feel the emotion in a song, but also that a singer must never cry on stage.
As others have mentioned, due to this being the first time YUI is not present, and the fact that they were performing in Hiroshima (her home town) for the very first time and to celebrate her 20th BD, SU was almost in tears, but was able to hold it. You had noticed that she was tearing up!
This is why I feel this particular performance of this song is her best!
So happy to see tow guys that love all kinds and aspects of music. Ran the lyrics through Google Translate. I could see why Su-Metal would shed a tear.
No Rain, No Rainbow
English Lyrics
Why can't i sleep?
Why is the night over?
I don't need anything, even tomorrow
A future without you
Why did you laugh
Why were you lonely
No one knows
I wanted you to be by my side
Even despair turns into light
Even if it rains unstoppably
Even despair turns into light
A sad rain will cast a rainbow forever
I'll never see you again
Don't forget
If your dreams continue, don't wake up
Why did you laugh
Why were you lonely
No one knows
I just wanted to meet you
Even despair turns into light
Even if it rains unstoppably
Even despair turns into light
A sad rain will cast a rainbow
The unstoppable rain will fill my heart forever
Even though I know this version Su got me again and made me cry.
Should have waited till day or after work. Now I have to go sleeping with tears on my pillow.😅Thanks guys.
This song was for one of the band members who got killed, they will never play this song sadly outside of Japan. So is the song Starlight, that one is for the guitarist who fell to his death off the stage.
Love this song.
I have strong reasons to drop some tears every time I particularly watch this performance. I'm sure all the old BM fans know the reasons and can't avoid dropping some tears, too. If not, I'm sure they feel sad because of the memories.
I‘m a sucker for good ballads, and when I heard this song for the first time, I was so damn happy that BABYMETAL are delivering on that front as well. All the people saying that BABYMETAL are fake should look at Su‘s eyes at 5:58 (of your video) and wash out their mouths with soap. I have been listening to BABYMETAL every single day for the last three years, and this song has yet to fail to make me cry. Either they are great, or I‘m the most wimpy guy out there (OK, maybe both).
This performance/concert is a very emotional one for all BM fans. This is from Legend S - Baptism XX concert. A 2 day concert in Su's hometown of Hiroshima to celebrate her 20th birthday (she will be 23 in Dec 2020). 20 is the age you're considered an adult in Japan so is a very special birthday.
What makes this even more emotional is this is the first time without Yui who had to pull out just days before due to illness (Yui never performed again with BM) and this is the last BM show with guitar legend Mikio (aka ko-gami, who is seen close to the end playing).. sadly he died only weeks later.
Finally Su has only ever perfomed this song live 5 times. She performed a few times when younger but said she did not have the appropriate emotional experience to do it justice so it got put on hold until these 2 shows where she knocks it out of the park. That moment you noticed when she is singing nears tears then BANG power Su switches in.
Love your reactions to this band
she was acting in musicals as a child. no wonder she looks so professional performing a song like this and to step into a certain role.
WOW! This was amazing and I lost it... again! And I will lost it again next Sunday on their live streaming of Legend S. This one really moves me in an incredible way and I'm not ashamed about it.
Good job guys!
" Legend S " .... when Happiness , Sadness and a little bit of Anger collide.
When she was very young and studying at Actors School Hiroshima, Su made a promise to her dance teacher (who would go onto be Babymetal's choreographer) that she would never cry onstage. Although this was a very emotional show for all the reasons other people in the comments have mentioned, and she came very close to it during this song in particular, she has kept that promise to this day.
She was in tears. You were correct. Most don’t catch that. This song hits home for her for some reason we don’t know.
Love your reacts. Do "From Dusk Til Dawn" next. Sorry I don't have a link to it. Peace and stay safe. BTW Su is 22 now. Moa will 21 this July 4th. Yui just turn 21 on June 20th.
You don't have to speak a language to understand. I think you can feel the emotions in this song, and it was certainly very emotional for Su himself. Very well done.
As others have said this is very emotional performance for Babymetal and the fans. The first show without Yui-Chan, Mikita dies a month later (brown guitar), Su’s hometown show for the first time. Hiroshima, Su’s home of course has the horrible history of the atomic bomb, something Su has talked about in the past. All this leads to an amazing almost painful performance to watch. Great job guys.
That whole concert will be streamed free on BM official youtube channel (i think it will be june 28th). Don't miss it!!
My favourite version of NRNR is in Tokyo dome live 2016
I prefer this one because of Mikio
Sad facts:
It was the first time that Babymetal was missing a member - Yui - She never return.
That was the last time Mikio was on stage with Babymetal - A month later he passed away.
One my all top fav songs, su for sure think she was going to cry, Baptism XX well be live this sunday on 28 on babymetal channel you guys need watch the full live, oh so you need react to the one, oh so good song! peace from zuki.
There was that rumor that the show stopped for 2 minutes before Moa got on stage and was because Su was crying on the backstage.
Really symphonic song... nice to hear it...love it
"She can sing bro, I'm sorry."
We are not ! ;-)
I would say this is rock/metal ballad, not Symphonic Metal.
Emotion and passion is her strong point and conveying that in the past way possible.
Or as she ones said about Babymetal live: No thinking, just feel it ! :-)
This show was at Legend S, her 20th birthday show, which is when you are in an adult in Japan.
Moa and thus also Yui are also old enough now to be adults.
But two of the 3 Avengers are not.
Legend S is in Suzuka's hometown of Hiroshima, she always wanted to come back perform there to show everything she had learned.
To bad the show didn't go as planned because Yuimetal couldn't perform of health reasons.
It would have been one of their best shows yet, they pulled out all the stops. An amazing stage set up, etc.
It's a power ballad, which are very difficult to do well and not many artists can pull them off. Musically, this is one of BM's most impressive songs
@@hugoa2637 Kobametal mentioned in an interview, this song has many influences. "Musically speaking, it was in line with Billy Joel - Honesty"
The interviewer and me laughed at that. :-)
Wikipedia mentioned about the song Honesty: "the track is a predecessor of the power ballads of the 1980s and 1990s"
If you want to call it a powerballad, fine by me.
But let's remember it's very likely also a reference to X-Japan's Endless Rain, some say that's might have been influenced by Purple Rain from Prince and maybe Guns N Roses November Rain was influenced by that. And thus maybe No Rain, No Rainbow would fit that list. It would be great if it did.
Yashhhh babymetal reaction again 🔥🔥🔥🔥
prophetic tears.
I love it→zetubou saemo hikari ni naru（Even the despair becomes the light）
goodVideo,good reaction.
We are babymetal.
You still need to watch Akatsuki unfinished version but keep up the good work
I really enjoy watchin you guys . Real reactions , respect . I love Babymetal . Honestly , you guys could react to every song off their 3 albums . They are all good . Thanks again
Su is the queen .
How did you get your video up? Ours was blocked.
Love the reaction guys
Love this song and the performance
Suzuka 🥺
Congrats on 20k subs!
The thing about Su is - I've probably watched every live Babymetal video there is on CZcams and, 10 years worth of live performances and you can probably count the total number of bum notes on one hand. That's crazy, esp considering the kinda shows they put on. Phenomenal.
Concert is Legend S Baptism XX Live Hiroshima Arena.
Online Live Concert will start from 8:00 PM JST
BABYMETAL You Tube Official Channel !
You gotta show some love to the other 2 as well. sis anger, GJ, Onedari Daisakusen, song 4.
I agree. A reaction to Sis Anger would be awesome.
Onedari Daisakusen Legend 1997
Been saying this for a while, it needs to happen
@@lisahawes8577 it will rip them apart, super cool song
Send us a good suggestion for next baby metal monday
Love your guys Babymetal Mondays. So now you know about tool fans. Babymetal fans. Then maybe you need to invite one of the most rabid and loyal fan bases of all. Slayer fans!!!
little Hell-o from France ^^
This song saved my life one night. Babymetal has meant a lot since then for me
Love you two, great reaction!
good reaction. I like BABYMETAL. I'd be happy if you could display your audio with subtitles
日本語で何を話してるか知りたいです。
I enjoy your reactions so much! Thank you TT's!!
That's a power ballad..a very beautiful power ballad..
You need react to black babymetal too. They are also part of the magic of babymetal. Su is power, kamiband is technique, and Yui and Moa are effort, kawai and choreography. I feel that they also deserve recognition, Su, the kamiband and they are spectacular in their respective role.I recommend 4 no uta. But the other songs are also great. (GJ, Onedari daikasusen and Sis anger)
You are great boys...I like your reacs 👌😎
I want people from overseas to know. SU-METAL was born in Hiroshima. I love peace and pray that it will never happen again. This song is the cry of SU-METAL's heart. Thank you.
Her talent. Knows no bounds she just gets better with time and a rip mikio I can only imagine how hard it was for her loose one of her group and then a band mates dies and yui left before this and they were like family so ya she had to be majorly emotional
泣く😭
I love this channelbruh!
Can you react to babymetal Shine and then tattoo. Very awesome songs try the live versions. Thanks guys. Love the channel
Great reaction guys. You can see it in your faces that you have a general love of music and performance. keep it going.
Good reaction, I hope it doesnt get block by amuse later
I'm not really into ballads, but when Su and or BABYMETAL does a ballad, I always watch to the end. There is something about their passion for music and performing that just grabs me and won't let go. She is most definitely the power behind the throne that is Amuse Inc. I just hope that this company does right by Su and Moa and also the Kami Band. This is epic music from the beginning to the ending, which we all hope is a long ways away!
Just beautiful. What a performance.
Not Symphonic metal bro it's a Power Ballad.. It was the Queen 20th birthday in her home prefecture Hiroshima, the whole Nakamoto family was there.. The saddest truth about this concert was Mikio Fujioka's last performance with Babymetal 5:43 he had a terrible accident on December 30, 2017 and he passed away on January 5, 2018.
In this song u can see su try not to cry
The part that I wonder about is if it is just one thing, two things, or just the emotion/effort put into it (I tear up watching it without even thinking of anything, thus the last part there). If you think about it, it could be because of Yui having to be out with whatever the issue was for her (illness or injury), it could be Su's deep feelings regarding the use of the atomic bomb on her hometown of Hiroshima at the end of WWII, or if it is just spontaneous, which is why she could get control of it so quickly and transform it into her death stare at the end of that note.
It is impressive to understand that Su herself shelved the song early on because she didn't feel like she had lived enough of her life to understand the power and emotion that should be put into it. To have someone at the age of about 16 (or younger) have that type of self-reflection is rare. It is also what leads me to believe it could be because of Yui that she tears up, but this performance was at home, so again I go back to not knowing. Still, such a great performance and so powerful. She just keeps getting better!
Mikio and Takayoshi harmonized and duelin solos were made for each other...
Su's currently 22 (she'll be 23 at the tail end of the year), Yui just turned 21, and Moa is 20 but will turn 21 in about 10 days.
Anything for our queen...
BABYMETAL MONDAY!!
To know Yui-metal can't join this concert because of health issues and it was Su's special birthday concert at Su's homeland, made this song even more sad and emotional..
And it was Mikio-san's last performance (the guitarist, R.I.P)
I'm enjoying your reaction videos. You should check out "brand new day" another song showing how talented babymetal is
冗舌な二人でも、後半は、、、、😣
(タバコも忘れて?)
何度聴いても、見ても😭😭😭
魂の籠った歌には日本語も英語も
無いと言う事。
最高のバラードです😂
Love Baby Metal Mondy. Tool Tuesday is still my favorite though. Can you guys review Hed(pe) Renegade? Awesome song, and one hell of a rebellious messege!
