This is written in ideographic Kanji characters as " 紅月", which means " crimson moon". Suzuka has an innocent soul that has not been dyed in any color. That is why this performance is possible.

_Akatsuki daaaa!_ 🦊🤘🔥 You can hear in the first SuMetal scream the right way to pronounce this word without the "da" at the end, it reads something like "ah - kats - key", the u is silent. Love your excitement with this song, and yeah relating this with Naruto is very common but it got nothing to do with Naruto, love the series too thou. She performed this same song live at Budokan 2014 when having only 16 yo, and you can clearly noticed the difference between teenage SuMetal vs. grown up vocals and technique in this version, highly suggest you to check it out in your own time. Akatsuki was one of the highlights at Budokan 2021 when celebrating their 10 Years, of course this SuMetal performance is one of those beautiful and powerful solo she had back then. The fight choreography is another tribute to early performance either when SuMetal was fighting against her doppelganger at one of the Legend "IDZ" in 2012/2013, or later in 2018 when the muscle-metal did the fight between them at Dark Night Carnival concert. When the music stop and switch to the ballad piano version is a tribute to Legend 1997 held in 2013 when performing Akatsuki Unfinished Version, that version will definitely make you get some tissues.😭 Pretty much is a power/metal ballad song about fighting for her love just like you saw in the lyrics. The crowd unfortunately was a prerecorded sound because this was made during pandemic situation and no one was allowed to shout or doing mosh pit, also the capacity was cut to half, everyone had a great time thou. This song is a tribute to another mythical visual-key Japanese band called X-Japan - Kurenai (i recommend you that song), and one of the founder member, Yoshiki, got also another tribute with the song Headbanger!! Since next July 4th is coming MoaMetal's birthday i shall suggest you these to honor her special b'day: - Love Machine live at Legend 1999 (2013). - MoaBanger live at Legend M (2019), which is Headbanger!! with MoaMetal singing the second part. - Onedari Daisakusen live at Budokan 2021, MoaMetal solo performance. - GJ! live at Budokan 2021, another MoaMetal solo performance. These last songs are originally Black Babymetal songs performance with only Yui and Moa so if you don't know the original version then i suggest you to skip them and go for the original first. Don't worry about the comments complaining for your pauses when reacting, we all know what you need to do and we're glad you're taking the effort to do this trying to avoid being blocked. BM already finished the Europe Tour last weekend at Resurrection Fest in Spain and also singing along with Electric Callboy once again, hopefully they will come back next year and you will get the chance to see them live. Thanks for sharing this special version and see you next time.🦊🤘❤

Akatsuki is my favorite song all time of Babymetal🤘🦊

Great reaction. The two dancers who performed the fight choreo were the dancers who had supported Su and Moa on the 2018 tour (and they were wearing the 2018 tour Dark Side costumes here as well). Sorry, their names completely escape me for the moment, but the fans affectionately named them 'Muscle Metal' They came back specially for these shows at the Budokan in Tokyo in 2021.

Muscle Metal's names are Minami Tsukui and Minako Maruyama.

BABYMETAL - NO RAIN, NO RAINBOW 【Live Blu-ray/DVD 「LEGEND - S - BAPTISM XX -」】 the saddest Babymetal song (much sadder than Akatsuki)

Thank you for the great reaction🎉 Among Japanese BABYMETAL fans, this song ranks in the to 3 of AKATSUKI's favorite songs. Of course I lovd it the most. FROM JAPAN.

Yes, those are our Queen's ninja body guards. We call them muscle metal.

Amazing, Su’s performance and vocals has made me tear up a few times. Only other time that’s happened to me (outside of laughter) in the last decade was the death of a family member, so yeah…her vocals are absolutely amazing and powerful. Also, at the video’s end, those 3 pop-up recommendations are the other 3 Su-metal solos, which you’ll need to do as well! Especially Amore, very much in the same vein as Akatsuki! 🤘🦊

That was a great reaction. I understand your love for BABYMETAL. This is a recommended video, so please take a look. Akatsuki (unfinished) (Legend 1997)(2013) Eng Subs [Real 4K AI enhanced] No Rain, No Rainbow (Live at Legend S 2017) [SUBTITLED] 4K Su-Metal's emotions are overflowing. Her master has taught her never to shed tears on stage, but Su feels like she can't keep up with that teaching. Whenever I see her like this, I always cry.

Have you noticed that the picture of the stage floor is a crimson moon! Su-metal performed AKATSUKI while standing on the crimson moon. Thanks for your great reaction.

Thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。I witnessed this very performance at Budokan 😍. On Feb.19, 2021. Akatsuki became a very special song for BABYMETAL fans again. This song had not been performed for 2 years and 4 months, but they revived it that day. After an exciting battle choreo by the two dancers aka "Muscle Sisters" and a subsequent totally silent interval, Su-Metal showed up like a goddess standing solely in the center of foggy lake. It was divine beauty. Honestly I can not remember clearly what I saw and what I heard because it was too surprising and too mesmerizing. (Even after I viewed Blu-ray videos released thereafter) There is one certain thing, however. I felt celestial bliss there, especially by Su's matured rich voice.

Great song and epic performance,, See also Akatsuki unfinished piano version,,, or No rain no rainbow live blu ray legend S🦊💔

Su-Metal hitting that refresh button on "soul steal" (She doesn't have a cool down on that ability, btw~) I love seeing you give vocalists their due.

It’s on auto-cast with infinite cooldown reduction, and has an AoE effect when she hits those high and long notes. Budokan 2021 was lucky they were only at half capacity due to Covid… 😂

Queen Su said: "don't think, feel." Simply and absolutely Perfect! No more words! Definitely you need watch now No rain, no rainbow live, Legend XX. Believe me, it is absolutely beautiful! See you Megitsune! 🤟🦊🇯🇵🔥🔥🔥

Thank you for this great reaction to the wonderful moment offered by Su-Metal and the Kami band.

Su has always had such a presence, even back in her Sakura Gakuin days. Which, I would love to see you react to btw.

This is my favorite BM song and the second place goes to Shine where Su unleashes her greatness and if u can watch the Legend M version with Moa being the best and most beautiful dancer ever.

She's called the Queen for a reason.

Hi from Ireland, great reaction great sumetal solo, at the end if akatsuki video there are two very epic sumetal solo links, Amore and no rain no rainbow, have hankies ready fir no rain no rainbow 😊

Great reaction. SU sings with so much emotion. She is amazing. This is one of my favorite together with No rain no rainbow. ❤❤❤

You should definitely watch the Akatsuki (Unfinished ver.) from Legend-1997 live

For some reason I am in tears right now.

Thanks for the good reactions! Keep up the BABYMETAL journey! I look forward to it.

⚡ / 🔴 🌙 Good catch on the song title. Even though "akatsuki" can mean "daybreak" or "dawn", it's "red + moon" in this case. On the track listing they replaced the character for "aka" with "kurenai" (紅), a deep red or crimson, as a tribute to the X-Japan song with that title. There are X-Japan references throughout a lot of BABYMETAL lyrics, choreography and staging. They were a big influence on the group. 'Akatsuki' was Su's first solo song. It was originally released as a backing track on the 'Megitsune' single in 2013.

The strange thing about SU-METAL's voice... it gets to our lacrimal glands😭

Small young lady, big voice, huge stahe presence 🙂

Queen Sumetal🤘🏼🦊.this song remind me xjapan song

Great reaction as always, Agnes. Stop/pause all you want. We don't mind. 😅 Please check out No Rain, No Rainbow Legend S Baptism XX. Another emotional song of Su-Metal.

You gotta check out the "unfinished" version of Akatsuki! It's so god damn beautiful and really shows more of Su's range! Especially if you want to cry

Great reaction. I have an internal conflict with this performance and the Budokan performance in 2014. In this one, Su's voice and facial expressions are better, but in the 2014 one the scenery and the guitar solo part in my opinion are much better than the fight scene in this version. Fortunately I have both, but if I had to recommend one of the two to a friend, I wouldn't know which one to choose. Babymetal Forever!! 🦊🦊🍅🦊

I love your reactions to Babymetal, it's so cool getting to watch someone just completely enjoy them. This song (Akatsuki) has other versions from other performances that are quite different, if you ever feel like it check out the one from "Legend 1997" concert, but definitely bring tissues.

great reaction...next No Rain No Rainbow Su Metal Solo again...❤❤❤🦊🦊🦊

Akatsuki always rates very highly in fan favourite polls; it usually competes with Megitsune for the number one position. All of Su's solo songs are great and they are pretty much all ballads, which is fairly unusual for Babymetal songs.

Nice reaction as always. If you want to watch an older version check Budokan Black Night 2014 and for a very different musically pared back arrangement showing Su's vocals at their best go for the Legend of 1997 Apocalypse.

A most excellent reaction! Pay no attention to the "pause haters." Pause as much as you need. I would much rather have you pause and talk instead of talking over the song. Akatsuki was/is my very first favorite Babymetal song. WHile I personally prefer the 2014 Budokan Black Night version, any version is good to me! Kitsune Up! 🤘🦊🤘

BABY METAL🔥🤘🦊🤘🔥

BabyMENTAL yes haha 0:06

You should listen to the balad version of Legend 1997

I LOVE LOVE your reaction!!!

👊🏽⚡️🤘🏾🦊

When they first started doing this song Early on evil Su would come out and fight Su-Metal then in the 2018 world tour They started having these two girls come out and fight each other

Babymetal Metali please! But dont do the music video. Do the official live version. Its so much better

I think this recording of "Akatsuki" is the best. I think she was about 17 years old. I think the "Kami Band" backing her up were all world-class performers. Please enjoy it personally. (Translation software used) kzread.info/dash/bejne/dZd9q8mzYrCfgJc.html

Wonderful reaction, Akatsuki is a classic! Akatsuki Unfinshed version will absolutely make you cry kzread.info/dash/bejne/oKuny9CmqLfektI.htmlsi=eQDzAWEShs9oM1x8 ❤🦊🤘 Don't worry about pausing, regular watchers of reaction videos soon learn that it's necessary. React how you want!

One of my favorite, I just find the "Budokan 2014 - Black Night" version way more powerful and emotional

Disagree tbh

This performance was during the Avengers era (no Yui) just Su & Moa, they had Avengers filling in and dancers to fill the void. Did you notice the moon was showing on the stage floor below her? Several versions of this song, Check them all out, unfinished will make you cry even more. 2016 at Budokan (I think) is also great.

"Watching another Baby-mental video" 😂 Not far off the truth I guess - great reaction!

Not if but when will Queen Su make you cry and she will , Unless got no soul or a Ginger ? (just kidding)

Akatsuki:- This is 1 of Su-Metal solo song but is the unfinished version (Makuhari Messe). There is a faster tempo version played at Budokan Black Night. The other 4 songs are:- 1. No Rain No Raibow (Legend Baptism XX Version Is Best). 2. Rondo Of Nightmare (Budokan, Same Venue As Akatsuki). 3. Amore (Wembley Arena). The other 2 members Yuimetal & Moametal (Black Babymetal) are not included. Akatsuki is just Crimsion Moon, but the original kanji for Akatsuki is the one you see in Naruto (暁). The original meaning is the time when night fall ends, or dawn. But there is a double meaning of "The time you waited after your dreams/wishes came true" . If you listen to the lyrics both crimson moon and akatsuki play a role in the song Akatsuki. Benitsuki -Akatsuki Information:- Kanji Title: 紅月-アカツキ. Romanji Title: Benitsuki -Akatsuki English Title : Crimson Moon -Dawn. Akatsuki-Benitsuki: Akatsuki- is the couping song from BABYMETAL's 3rd single Megitsune, by SU-METAL. The song is also included in BABYMETAL's first original album BABYMETAL. Information:- •Artist: BABYMETAL. •Single: Megitsune. •Album: BABYMETAL. •Lyrics: NAKAMETAL & TSUBOMETAL. •Composition: TSUBOMETAL. •Arrangement: Kyoto. Lyrics Overview:- Released on 2013 Jun. 19th, coupled with MEGITSUNE (included in the regular edition). Lyric: NAKAMETAL, TSUBOMETAL / Music: TSUBOMETAL / Arr.: Kyôtô AKATSUKI (Crimson Moon) Going over thousands of nights, some love shall survive. So, until my body perishes, until my life disappears, I shall keep on cherishing this love. Shining in the depths of the eyes, the moon is about to cry. Red tears overflow and dye the night sky. In the silence, the two damaged blades stand face to face. Our loneliness and our uneasiness slash even our hearts. Going over thousands of nights, some love shall survive. So, until my body perishes, until my life disappears, I shall keep on cherishing this love. In the passage of time, I keep my eyes shut. Even if the red thread flowing in my hand breaks, I still feel we are tied. In the silence, I hold the damaged blade face to face. My loneliness and my uneasiness, I slash, even my heart, now. Going over thousands of nights, some love shall survive. So, until my body perishes, until my life disappears someday... Going over thousands of nights, some love shall survive. So, until my body perishes, until my life disappears, I shall keep on cherishing this love. Dye crimson! Dye bloody crimson! Kitsune Up🦊🦊🦊🤘🤘🤘🇯🇵🇸🇬 #notacult.

I wish that you would have reacted to a different concert. Although the fight scene looks cool, it has nothing to do with the song's lyrics. I have never understood it's inclusion for this song...

I guess it’s a way to include the dancers they had after Yui left and before the avenger era as a farewell. But for me the fighting scene makes fits well. I always understood the song about a toxic relationship (the two damaged blades) leading to one person dead and killed by their big love.
