Sorry for low volume, I mentioned in my community tab that my microphone broke and this temp one was giving me all sorts of problems! I’ve since got new one so thanks for baring with!
I've very recently watched reactors (strangely all from Scotland) who tell us their dancing is not important , that the guitars and drums matter, not the dancing. Thank you so much for helping us to remember/notice that this is a big reason for the success of BabyMetal. BabyMetal is teaching us to dance to Metal music.

@@xiaouiris I bet if they watched some (all!) of your videos they might begin to understand.
So good to see Moa and Momo dancing in such perfect synchrony.
Nice one.🦊Not just Moa, also Su and Momoko were clearly having the time of their lives on the European tour especially, you could see they were really enjoying every moment.
Excellent explanation as always. This was the first time this song was performed outside of Japan. I love this song so much that I have watched many fancams of it and every time I see it, I am moved. I also love the choreography there, so I have no problem with you replaying that part over and over again.
Su Metal own personal flare to her dance routine was always mentioned to her by her choreographer, asking Su Metal why she did that? She will answer that she did what she was taught and didn't think she changed anything. Su Metal always apologies and said she will change it back to original, but the choreographer said what she did was better, don't change it.
When I heard Time Wave I wasn't very interested in the song, but when I saw them live it became one of my favorites. This choreography is my favorite from The other One album.
I would really like to see more dancing from Su. There‘s something special about her style, no idea what it is. I always thought it was her dorkiness still shining through, but I don't see that here. Maybe her (comparatively) long limbs are part of it.
Thankyou for this analysis. About Moa and Momo taking the lead, I think that has always been the case and Sue concentrates on her singing. Great to hear you praise how much Moa and Sue have improved in their dancing. One other question I have wanted to ask you is... What do you think of their footwear? Do you think it is a good design for the dancing they are doing? Always like watching your reaction analysis as you seem to be the only Choreographer / Dancer that does these reactions and you are also very good at it.
Nice, I was waiting for this one! Time Wave might have my favorite BABYMETAL choreography yet (and my favorite song on THE OTHER ONE). Obviously Moa and Momo are killing it here but Su really gets a chance to shine alongside them! It would be nice if we always had fancams like this one to see the full choreography up close! I'm not sure if you've already reacted to it or not but I would love to see your thoughts on the choreography for "From Dusk Till Dawn (Budokan 2021)". It's certainly not the most technical choreography but I think it might be some of the most emotionally charged that they've performed. And they've only performed that song 3 times so far!
Thanks for this reaction. About Moa being made for the stage (honestly they all are), they are part of the Amuse talent agency and this is how she got started with them: "She was signed with the talent agency Amuse at the age of 8 when she won the Semi-Gran Prix in the "Ciao Girl Audition 2007" held by the company.[2] The audition had more than 10.000 children participating in the big event." So yeah, I would be surprised if they didn't. 🙂 Something else to know Sakura Gakuin ones performed Spending All My Time with Perfume on stage live at Amuse Fest 2017. Which is my guess has this dancing/hand technique, Momoko was one of the members that time performing that song with Perfume, at age 14. I posted a link on Discord.
Interesting comment on her confidence. I think we see that in a bunch of the new choreo - Metali, Maya, Believing and this one. Su seems much more, I don't know, committed maybe to her dance parts and it really shows.
Have you seen Metalverse yet? It is 5 member unit made up of Sakura Gakuin grads; Promoted as an alternate universe babymetal( same costumes, different color scheme) They just had their 1st solo concert.

I have!
Thank you! I'm so happy to hear that their dances are professional. I cannot dance but I really like all the choreo in this The Other One album. I don't know why but I like it. Time Wave one of the songs I like also.
So glad you liked this! Yes Su has come a long way as a dancer.
Excellent reaction, thanks! I'm usually against fancam footage BUT I'll make an exception here just because this is perfect for you to fully see the choreo. And it was worth it! 😁 I'm so glad you enjoyed this one. "Time wave" is probably my least favorite song from The Other ONE but it's one of my favorite choreos. And that also counts for me (again, I never ever thought I was going to say this, haha...). Moa is an incredible performer, not only during the choreo, she also masters on crowd interaction, you need to see her. Momoko is considered one of the best dancers from Sakura Gakuin. And no, I'm not going to compare her to anyone else. She's so good. Period. 😊 Do I need to mention Su? I'm probably too biassed and you already mentioned her excellent body control given her particular physical constitution. I'm very happy thanks to your video. It made my day (and it's happening a lot regarding BABYMETAL today, hehe...) Until next time! 🤘🦊

Let's not forget that Momoko had choreographed in Sakura Gakuin and as a senior led the rehearsals of the choreography of the various songs of the group (and how pissed she was if they didn't give their best effort)! But perhaps my judgment is conditioned by the infinite affection I feel for Princess Momoko!

@@fabioc.9404 Yes! I've learned that about her just recently. 😁👍
👍 👍 Great reaction and agree with you 100%. Also I am always amazed at Suzuka's dedication. Not only must she be spot on with choreography she also must be cognizant of her breathing to sing a as well as focus on the song lyrics. Consummate professionalism.
Thanks for your hints and explanations; they make me apreciate the performance even more. And repeating important passages is fine with me; Elizabeth Zharoff AKA The Charismatic Voice does this all the time during her vocal analysis and it really helps focussing on the important details. Su's vocal abilities let us sometimes overlook that she is also a passionate and agile dancer. Sometimes I miss the slightly anarchic young energy of their early days, but in terms of dancing and engaging with the audience, this years tour showed us the best Babymetal there ever was.
Thank you very much for your insight !
whoooaaa, so cool! i usually just listen the music, but this... i definitely should give more attention to the dancing as well. it's sooo cool to watch. especially in your company! cool reaction!
Great reaction 🤘🦊🤘
The only channel that pays attention to choreography. I’m happy ☺️

The only choreographer I know of, yes. If you watch professor AJ Heartley's walk-throughs of BM songs, he will also look at the choreo in search for the meaning of the song, not just the lyrics, which sometimes can make a big difference. But of course, he is a theater man (shakespeare professor), not a dedicated dancer/choreographer.
I have never really paid any attention to the choreography in this song before now. It looks so cool. I've always thought of Time Wave as a 10/10 song before, now it's a 20/10.

Thanks to your video I really got to appreciate this song and its choreo a lot more. I was in the audience, being disappointed that they played TW instead of Synco, so, like the geezer that I am, I spent most of the song mumbling to myself how much Synco would have been better, instead of paying attention to this awesome choreo! 😂
I've watched this about a dozen times, as I get a little drunk and can find no other reactions that notice how good Su is as a dancer...

You never got there ☹️ Next time, hopefully . The part you love is my favourite part as well . I knew you would like the courography for this song all of them were just perfect together in this . Rember your best buddy, Mikiko 😂 always said Su did not know how great a dancer she was . Was close to stage myself both nights, and at one point, Moa sat on the corner at edge of stage right in front of me but my big thumb had stopped my phone recording this moment ☹️ but got other great parts including Su's rap in B×M×C ❤ 2 Excellent shows 😁🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
If you want to catch Moa having a good time you really should look at the "official" Kingslayer video recently released - Omajination version I love but the "official" is pretty bloody special :D TOTALLY agree on the dancing - I never really noticed until I saw Moa at wembley from the front of the stage during Divine Attack body popping - she looked so damned cool 😂. I agree she's in about the best place she could be (she could be a huge jpop star - but she probably wouldn't get outside Japan).
i had a bad dream all night long, it’s over ~
Moa puts her entire soul into every single performance. 💖 #MoaGirlForever 🤘🦊🤘
Moa has really come into her own, and Momo is the perfect little sister to sync with. Much closer in personalities to Momo than Yui, I think Moa works extra hard to be that big sister for Momo. Momo skill shines as well. When the artist loves what they do, you see perfection.

Yes you really get the feeling, that Moa needed the change from an Avenger to their sister. And it certainly helps that Momo is several years younger.

Great analysis/reaction👊🏽⚡️I can understand what you mean by technique. They really were very precise and at the same time feeling the music.🦊🤘🏾
Happy new year 💕💕🦊🤘
HIIII I LOVE YOUR ANALYSIS AND I ASK IF YOU CAN CHECK ENHYPEN SOMEDAY. GIVEN-TAKEN , DRUNK-DAZED , FEVER , BITE ME , UPSIDE DREAMING , ETC. THEY HAVE A LOT OF GOOD DANCES AND IT COULD BE SO COOL IF YOU ANALYSIS THEM!!
Excelente babymetal ex sakura gakuin y saludos desde Lima Perú
Wow, this was great! While I always enjoyed Babymetal's choreography, it is often overshadowed by vocals or musical performances. Your knowledgeable explanation really helped me enjoy this song so much more! Frankly, when this song first came out, I wasn't a big fan, but now I love it, and who would have thought, the choreography played a major part! (I don't usually look for that in music). Thank you once again, as always, for your expertise! 🤘🦊💙
👍Excellent! 🦊 🖖❤
The volume was really low on here, I kinda struggled hearing you xD You talked a lot about SU and Moa technique, and I was wondering what you thought about Momoko? I realize you speak more about them because you kinda saw them evolving, but would like to also hear your thought about it! Nice about the Clock choreo and the fluidity: never realized it! But if I focus on it now, I can kinda see it!! Thanks, it was really informative!
Love your reactions! There's two new debut kpop groups I would love for you to check out if you haven't. Riize from SM - Get a Guitar dance practice and BoyNextDoor under Hybe One and Only dance practice (has prop).
You’re doing fine there and I love this song but the camera phone quality is painful to my ears. Amuse won’t let Su be 100% metal in case it hurts their asset - no screams - which Nemophila fixed for them with their version of Megitsune. Try it. 😊
