This performance was from December 2013. The concert was the day after the lead singers 16th birthday, the other 2 girls were 14 at the time. The fan base is called The One.

The day UK fell in love with BABYMETAL .

Good first reaction and welcome to the BABYMETAL Foxhole.🦊Don't believe everything you read on the internet (I think it was Abraham Lincoln who said that) so when someone says "they are just clickbait and not real metal" ... the only song they have heard (and probably not all of it) was 'Gimme Chocolate'.

"This is not what I was expecting."

Welcome to the Foxhole!! Keep digging cause you're about to discover how deep it is! 🤘🏻🦊

The only other BM recommendation I'll make is the rest of their songs.

While Babymetal has a sound, it isn't something you catch onto until you've listened to a lot of them. Babymetal is a fusion of Japanese pop, metal, and anything else they want mix into it. The three girls here are Su-metal (Suzuka Nakamoto), Moametal (Moa Kikuchi), and then the third one in this video is Yuimetal (Yui Mizuno) left the group due to health reasons. Su-metal is 16 here, and the other two are 14. Suzuka is now 25, and Moa is 23. A new member has taken Yui's spot very recently, Momometal, (Momoko Okazaki), and she is 20. Su-. Moa, and Yui started at 12 and 10 years old, this live footage (with studio audio) is from Legend 1997, which was to celebrate Su-'s 16th birthday.

Is there a BABYMETAL army? Does a fox poop in the woods?

They are pop. They are metal. They mixed both together and made it work. Thats what the name says: BABYMETAL. Besides being a Japanese pun on "HEAVYMETAL" and stating nothing less than the birth of a new kind of metal.

their very first hit, when they were ages 10 and 13, was Doki Doki Morning. I recommend Road of Resistance.

Welcome to the Foxhole and BabyMetal journey 🦊🤘🔥

Great first reaction 😁👍

Lead singer was 16, Su-metal, Yuimetal and Moametal were 14 at that time.

Gimme Chocolate:-

The best Metal song ever about wanting chocolate. 🦊🤟Kawaii Metal/ Cute Metal is the most unique genre of Metal since...well, ever! Babymetal have 11 years of songs behind them and they will all make you smile, headbang and occasionally cry. Try Headbanger live at this same concert, Legend 97.

The tree girls are Babymetal, and they are a pop idol product, where they originally experimented with them doing metal. And it worked. It worked very well.

In general, I agree with the advice to wait to experience their lastest stuff and start at the begining, or even before as there are lots of vids of Su and the girls pre-BabyMetal (Sakura Gakuin, ie: Cherry Blossum Academy). Along the way, you wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry or, like most of us, do both at the same time. At some point, most folks enjoy one of the "Unhelpful" guide videos and these are great, at least til the movie, History of BabyMetal, is made, to fill in some of the gaps.

Nice reaction. Babymetal is the happiest place in metal. So happy they dance about it. lol. Give Me Chocolate is the best song about chocolate ever. The number of views on KZread alone speak to that. A bit about the song. It starts off with Yui and Moa making what is the sounds kids in Japan make for guns. They're not asking for chocolate they are demanding it. In a kid friendly kawaii sort of way. When they get the chocolate, they hesitate to eat it. Worried about gaining wait. But when you get to see more of them in concert, you'll know gaining weight was never going to be a problem for them. They burn through more calories than most can count during a show. Next, like all kids they eat it. And then become so happy they trumpet about it. You can hear it in the music and see it in the choreography. Babymetal is everything you want in music and somethings you didn't know you needed.

LOL. Yuimetal and Moametal were only like 15 when this was shot in 2016, so they can't help the high pitch voices. This is definitely not a clickbait band, their current tour is selling out all over the world. Watch some live shows and you will be converted!

You should check out everything they have! Any song of theirs is worth a listen.
