"Akatsuki daaaaaaa" ❤️ 🔥🔥🔥 My personal favourite along with "Shine"💙 QUEEN SU's vocals triggers all types of emotions. She's an awesome singer and performer❤️🦊🤘

My favorite BABYMETAL song

All the yes. Offstage, Su is totally adorkable. Onstage, the best young performer in decades. This wasn't just a flawless performance, it's gone down in music history.

Oh, and in case no one as told you why... Headbanger, Akatsuki, and Death are often times refered to as The Trilogy of Death (like Starlight, Shine and Akadia is the Trilogy of Light). It tells the progression of a young girl to metal Goddess.

Trilogy of Light is the stages of grief and loss. Starlight is a considered by many to be a tribute to the passing of Mikio and the leaving of Yui. Starlight is about remembering the pain and the loss, Shine is about acceptance and Arkadia is looking forward to the future. I think Babymetal Reactor Resources has the trilogy in one video....

⚡ / 🔴 🌙 Looks like a few folks have pointed out that Su was sixteen when BABYMETAL performed those two nights at Budokan in March of 2014. Bear in mind that she joined her first pro singing group, the JPop trio Karen Girl's, when she was ten years old. According to the lore from the narrations before the songs, Su is known as "紅の騎士" (Kurenai no Kishi; Crimson Knightess) when she wears the cape and sings her solo songs. In the intro to this song at the 'Legend I' concert, the narration says: "YUIMETAL and MOAMETAL fell to the darkside. To get the metal spirits back to them, SU-METAL stood up alone. The metal spirit became the crimson flame and enveloped SU-METAL. And SU-METAL has changed into the Crimson Knightess. The crimson flame burns in the jet black darkness. Tonight SU-METAL's beat of life trembles the world." Sometimes the BABYMETAL lore trips over into poetry. : )

Some of Babymetal's songs' lyrics reach back to classical Japanese literature or seem to refer to modern Japanese lit. While "Akatsuki" is said to be inspired by X Japan's song "Kurenai", the prologue narration about Su-metal as a "Crimson Knightess" may have been inspired by a series of three children's novels published 2009-10 written by 灘谷 航 called "紅の騎士ロックウェル" - "Rockwell the Crimson Knight". The "Akatsuki" prologue reflects some of the language in that series as well as the title. In the novels there's a "Knights of the Order of the Crimson Moon", "crimson moon" being written 紅月, which term and imagery also appear in Babymetal's "Akatsuki".

@otobokegaijin6218

The English translation of the "Akatsuki" prologue narration given above by Rick Wagner seems to be copied from Du-metal's blog. It's not exactly "poetry". The original Japanese is a bit more poetic than the English, although it mixes tenses. Following is the Japanese text and some comments: ダークサイドに堕ちてしまったYUIMETALMOAMETAL。２人にメタルの魂を取り戻させるため、SU-METALは独り立ち上がる。メタルの魂は真紅の炎となってSU-METALを包み込んだ。そして、SU-METALは紅の騎士となる。漆黒の闇に灯る真紅の炎。今宵、SU-METALの命の鼓動が世界を震わせる。 メタルの魂を取り戻させるため might be better rendered as "to restore/regain their metal spirits" than "to get the metal spirits back to them". 立ち上がる is present tense "stands up" or "rises" rather than past tense "stood up". となる is more accurately "becomes" than "has changed into". 灯る is more accurately "illuminates" than "burns in". 命の鼓動 is a fancy way to say "heartbeat". On a literary note, 今宵 "this evening" or "this night" is used here instead of the more common 今夜 probably because 今宵 is sometimes collocated with 月 "moon" in Japanese literature, and although moon doesn't appear in this narration text, the title of the song itself, after all, is 紅月 "Akatsuki" "Crimson Moon", and the flame is described in the narration as 紅 "crimson". 月 "moon" can symbolize a young woman in Japanese literature. In classical Chinese and Japanese literature, but not necessarily modern lit., 紅 "kurenai" evokes a female persona.

Great reaction and I, from Japan, appreciate your kind words supporting Asian people 有難う💛。I have been to USA for years and I know your country is great. I believe some people are temporary in a panic and acting irrationally because of the pandemic. Japan loves USA. That is the reason why BABYMETAL started their world tour from USA in current formation (with new album and 3 support dancers called "Avengers"). You already have a lot of information about this Akatsuki 2014. Now in 2021, on Feb.19, Akatsuki became a very special song for BABYMETAL fans. This song had not been performed for 2 years and 4 months, but they did it again that day. I witnessed it at Budokan, the same legendary arena in this video. (They did it on Feb.20, too.) That performance was incorporated with unfinished version partially and fighting choreo by 2 muscular female dancers as they did in 2018 dark side shows. Honestly I can not remember clearly what I saw and what I heard because it was too surprising and too mesmerizing. I have to confirm it when the official video is released. There is a certain thing, however. I felt celestial bliss there.

Great reaction. BABYMETAL do pay homage to their (and Kobametal's) heroes in some of their songs and performances - you will find more tributes to X Japan, Metallica and others. They started in 2010 ... this was probably their first step into "the big time" and their biggest shows up to then playing the Budokan in March 2014. It is a martial arts centre built for the 1964 Olympics but also a hugely prestigious venue for concerts - it is the place artists aspire to play and very few get the chance. BABYMETAL are the youngest female band to ever headline at the Budokan (Su was just 16, Yui and Moa still 14) and they sold it out two nights running. Can't wait for your reaction to 'Akatsuki' unfinished version ... same song, same tune yet so different it could be a completely different song.

Always loved this one, especially the Iron Maiden-esque dueling solos in the middle. Plus, that voice and stage presence from a 16 year old is just a ridiculous state of affairs.

The Legendary Su-Metal Death Stare at Budokan

I love your crying....emortional reaction of babymetal.

Black Night was the second night of the Budokan concerts in March 2014, so Su was 16. I like the quieter "unfinished" version with just piano instrumentation that Su sang between Headbanger and Babymetal Death in Legend 1997 and now that Su is a little older I wish she'd revisit it. Here Akatsuki is translated as "Crimson Moon". It's a Su solo and has been out of the setlist for a while now that BM is just Su-metal and Moametal, but they brought it back in the current set of concerts at Budokan Doomsday. I'm really glad they did because the shows are better with Su solos and Akatsuki is one of my favourites. It's a hymn to undying love (or at least keeping it's memory alive) and uses the symbolism of the "red thread" to connect lovers; there's lots of red imagery in the lyrics of this song, but I'm not sure that the "Miss Havisham" never ending love aspect of the message is one to be emulated. There is also a Japanese anime called "Akatsuki" where the protagonists wear capes and I think that Su's cape might be a nod to that, or it might just be a dramatic prop.

I wish they had sent you to the Wembley performance of this song. You can't go wrong with any performance of it but there is something special and epic about Su running the walkway of flames that occurs in the beginning at Wembley. Two performances of this song have choreographed fight scenes during the guitar solos with Su fighting her alter ego (once on her 16th birthday concert, and then again on her 20th birthday, where she fought her 16 year old self). The 2018 performances (Dark Night Carnival) have two backup dancers (one of them a professional Martial arts movie star) in the fight scene. As for Babymetal Death, don't plan on analyzing any lyrics on that one. There really are none. The song is usually used as the opening song of their concerts and is just the group announcing themselves. I will not spoil anything by saying, the lyrics are only (u is silent) "Su-metal Desu", "Yuimetal Desu", "Moametal Desu", "Babymetal Desu", which literally means "Su-metal is here, Yuimetal is here, Moametal is here, Babymetal is here". Use of the word "Death" is a play on words as when "Desu" is pronounced, it sounds much the same as the Japanese saying "death". The Legend 1997 performance is NOT that. On two occasions, both Su birthday concerts, they've used the song Babymetal Death for a different purpose. For your "lyric" analyzing moment of that video, you need to find a translation of the Kamishibai (lore video) that precedes the song at that concert. KZread is not allowing me to post links but if you google "Prolog to BABYMETAL DEATH" you will find what you need on Du-Metal's web site.

KobaMetal said the 4th album is already on production, so we probably see a new single by mid year and date release album by the end, hopefully. _Stairway To Living Legend_ is coming \m/ #LivingLegend #NotACult #Babymetal

@@gombers Not sure if it'll be at Budokan all over again, i presume they're gonna focus on the 4th album to start off with the new chapter and brand new songs. And yeah they're really amazing an more surprises from them, like SuMetal playing the piano in No Rain No Rainbow solo song or MoaMetal dancing GJ! with 4 "baby-dancers" (probably the same ones who performed Onedari Daisakusen with her before) most of them Sakura Gakuin members, are gettin crazy The One fans UwU

Please react Ijime dame zettai. That song is best for you I think.

Anime references are fine, Su started out doing Anime songs, she has been on stage since she was 5 years old.

Haha okay cool 😅 I’m glad you got that I was just making references and not insinuating the songs are actually about that. Thanks so much for watching and commenting 😁🦊🤘

I love your reaction. May I suggest another amazing band from Japan, an all-female heavy metal band called Lovebites who sing all their songs in English and have a pair of super talented guitarists who do insane guitar solos and harmonzing. They won the 2018 Metal Hammer Golden Gods award for the best new metal band. Please do the live version of their song "Rising". Here is the link: kzread.info/dash/bejne/i5Oe1Mqzqsbbgrg.html

Hafa Adai! Oooh I will definitely give them a listen, thanks so much for the suggestion 🦊🖤🤘

Firstly, I hope you stay safe with all the madness going on against anybody vaguely Asian. I m pretty sure nobody in the community worked in the Wuhan lab, but this is the sad face of modern society I’m afraid. 😡. Anyway, Loved your reaction, and I look forward to you reaction to DEATH . I would suggest you read the video description before you watch it , this isn’t a spoiler as such , but it will help you understand what is going on. I guess I can now welcome you to The ONE and look forward to following your journey down the foxhole. STAY SAFE , BE STRONG 💪. Kitsunes up. 🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊

Babymetal has nothing to do with anime, it's about metal ...

I only meant to say that the two stories depicted, one from anime, one from the lyrics have similar themes. Not that their songs are actually about anime. Edit: also I kinda clown on myself for my own comparisons lol.

Can't hear the music.. other than that it was great.. I thought you were gonna stop the video a hundred times.. hate when people do that.. but you didn't..

@@randytrader3026 yeah in one of your comments on this video or her other Akatsuki video you said “you gotta watch the other version” when she already did and you had already commented on that video as well

Akatsuki was the first song the really got me out of the "meme" and "shock" stage and really into taking BM "seriously" back in the day and so it has a special place in my fox heart. Also, few people can pull off a cape the way Su can. X Japan is definitely an influence in many BM songs, theatrics and imagery. No surprise as they are probably the most colossal rock band from Japan ever, and an inspiration for countless rock and metal bands of today. They themselves still active although not so much in the spotlight anymore and having lost key members, but still very much revered, especially in Japan and by veteran rockers all around the world.
