So you've done Babymetal Gimme Chocolate. That's most people's first sample. Andiroo was talking crowd. Want to blow your mind? Watch Babymetal Road of Resistance Live. Remember that at the time, these girls were all well under 20. Great stage performance. If you do more Babymetal I'll toss more suggestions out there.

Make sure to pick the one with ~35M views - it's a better live action view, there's another one but with less views - the cameras aren't as favorable to the live action - trust me. Also do headbanger live later - it is epic too

The girls were 16/15/15. Legendary crowd control and epic performance!!

Headbanger is the one you wan to watch. The one titled "BABYMETAL - Headbanger Live @ Legend 1997 Apocalypse"

Great first reaction ... and yes this was a live concert, the crowd are not choreographed (although their crowds do know what to do when in most of their songs since BABYMETAL want them to be part of the performance) - but they do follow the lead the girls give them (this was the song's debut, the crowd had never heard it before). No the audio was not live, this is the official video so the audio is from the studio recording ... they sound better live! This was recorded over 10 years ago in December 2013. We have watched them grow up to become one of the very best live bands on the planet. They formed in 2010, Su-metal the lead singer was 12 and the whole concept was formed around her vocal talents and stage presence. Her two younger friends Yuimetal (up to October 2017, she left in October 2018 because of poor health) and Moametal (and since April last year Momometal) provide backing vocals, harmonies and most importantly they get the crowd involved with their choreo - Yui and Moa were both 11 in 2010. 'Gimme Chocolate' is one of their fun songs, this is the video that got them noticed before they started touring the world in 2014 ... it is not one of their deepest or best songs (by a long way), but it is often the first thing people hear from them. Sadly it is the often only thing a lot of people hear and they judge them on this one song. They have missed out on the best musical entertainment I've found in many decades of listening to and enjoying all sorts of music (mainly but not exclusively rock and metal). BABYMETAL have nearly 70 songs now, each one different to the last - some are good hard metal, some (like this) lean towards their pop roots, they do everything in between and they will also mix and blend in so many other musical styles and genres with the metal ... and as I said, the whole thing was formed and developed around the lead singer's vocal talents - this song really doesn't even begin to show how incredibly versatile and talented she is.

What they said😊

Babymetal is 'surprisingly' good... it's WAY better than it should be. This is one of their 'cute' songs that is just all about the hook..... but their serious songs have a strange poignancy and relevance. Their song "Road of Resistance' is straight up a must listen. It has the musical feel of some of the best arena guitar rock from the 70's and 80's... which fits why someone like the lead singer of Judas Priest would duet with them LOL..

Best way to describe. Everything about it tells you "I shouldn't like this. This should be too cheesy, to much fluff....." and can't help it, love it every time.

They sound just as good if not better live, to be honest, Su Metal (the lead girl) has a VOICE on her! You need to watch both Karate and Pa Pa Ya (which features a Thai rapper, if you ever wanted to see idol dancing set to rapping over hardcore metal), the live versions As well as the Bringe Me The Horizon x Babymetal "Kingslayer" Live version. As far as the audience goes, Japanese idol groups "train" their audiences, there's something of an expectation of what to do during each song, and thats just part of how the fan/group interactions are

BabyMetal!!! Many metal heads don't like them, but I think that they're very young and very talented, and the beats are heavy. They're very popular around the world and I suggest listening to more of them. They're very good live and their crowds are usually insyc with the band. I suggest "Headbanger" or the song "BxMxC" has hiphop elements in it that you might enjoy next. Thanks for the content

Babymetal are honestly one of the best bands to see live, they are phenomenal. Definitely need to watch some of their other stuff, Pa pa ya, headbanger, monochrome.

Metal idols they even use the heart emoji hands. Love it.😁💕👍🦇

Metal and jpop fusion, Baby metal is awesome, the fans are proper loyal and know every dance move to every song, you need to explore baby metal.

Crowd is real! This is a typical manic BABYMETAL concert. Check out ANY live track… you’ll see 🤟🏻🤟🏻

The girls are killin it on a song about chocolate. For real check out their song about fruit salad called Papaya.

@cmlemmus494

4 ай бұрын

To be fair, it's not only about chocolate. The Japanese lyrics translate to: "Can I have a bit of chocolate / But my weight worries me a bit these days". Same thing with Papaya, they're contrasting the sweet and spicy mix of papaya-pok-pok with the struggles of adult life: "Life is like a Chocolate Box Box / Mix and mash up like Papaya-Pok-Pok / Knock, knock, knock, struggling / Pound our lives with some happiness and sadness." They're not the most complicated lyrics ever, but neither are the rock of the 60s & 70s. This is fun dance music for teens with lyrics that touch on the stresses and worries of young people.

The concert in the video was Dec 21 2013. This was just before the release of their first album. Their first single was 'Doki Doki Morning' in 2011.

Japanese crowds at idol shows are just like that.💕👍🦇

Y'all need to do a babymetal deep dive! They are even better live!

This is the studio version of the song overlaying their live performance. The legit live performance you need to see is "Road of Resistance" - and keep in mind that that performance was over an hour into a show where they are basically doing this high energy choreography - and it's just...wow.

BabyMetal is my FAVORITE Metal band...PERIOD..... You have just seen the very tip of the iceberg

Why do you like it? Because those girls are phenomenally talented and put in a huge amount of work for their shows.

One of the best live bands this Gen Xr has EVER seen. The HU opened for them. Was an epic night for sure

Loved your reaction to this. Been a Babymetal fan for over a decade - they are an incredible band, and are absolutely insane to watch live. The lead singer Su Metal has an incredible voice, and just got better as she got older. Headbanger, Karate, Road to Resistance - there are so many great songs of theirs to react to.

Finally Baby Metal!!! I went deep into the rabbit hole in 2023 and I think they are really great. This song is an oldie and although very popular it's not among my faves. I wish you could react to such epic songs like Divine Attack (live) or Monochrome (live at PIA Arena). Another super banger and the longest due reaction on the channel would surely be Bring Me The Horizon - 'Kingslayer' ft. BABYMETAL (Live In Tokyo).

The music is from the studio version on top of the pictures of a live concert. The crowd is real, not coreographed but completely controlled by these 3 little girls. The leadsinger is a stage general and whenever her 2 supporters push up the crowd thousands of fans loose it.

Babymetal’s first album is absolutely brilliant. It’s pure joy.

yall most definitely got to check out some more babymetal

We want more Babymetal 🤘🏻🦊

They rule live!

Saw them live in concert back in fall of 2019. Was a banger show

Everyone dips their toes in with Gimme Chocolate, but they have so many great tracks that go even harder! Their entire second album is a masterpiece from top to bottom. They also have a sick live performance with Bring Me the Horizon, called Kingslayer.

6:58 THATS WHAT I THOUGHT ALSO WHEN I FIRST LISTEN TO IT TOO IN 2014 ✌️😁😁✌️ LOVE BABYMETAL 🤘😁🤘❤️

In a recent interview, the interviewer said that the girls probably practice their choreo everyday, and Moametal (the girl usually on the right side of the video) basically said "No, just 6 days a week.". WTF! That's why you don't see them winded or tired, and they can sing while jumping/dancing around! 🤘🦊🤘

Nkotb but in Japan. They were put together like a boy band, but I like this . Check out them playing with Rob Halford of Judas Priest. Check out CMFT by Corey Taylor. Lot of cameos, like Baby metal.

That's how Japanese concerts are. They really do come across as almost choreographed at times. There are JPop concerts where everyone has a glowstick up in the air and they are all in sync.

I saw them in Japan when they first started. They were were called BabyMetal because the lead singer (Su) was only 12 and the other two were only 11.

Koba has said multiple times that the name had nothing to do with their ages. He was intent on creating a new genre, and the name was a reference to it being a "baby" genre of music, a newborn genre. It was also a play on words because one of the Japanese words for "heavy" is "bebi," which is pronounced almost the same as "baby," so "bebi metaru" literally means "heavy metal." At the time he conceived the name, he didn't even know who was going to be in the group.

@jlrinc1420

@garykeeling2275 I think he may have said that because the girls were sensitive to being called babies. I have seen interviews when they were young and yui and moa were both pretty sensitive about being thought of as small.

I'm not a big fan of Baby Metal, but I cannot deny that these girls give it their all. They deserve all the fame and success they get.

All live... you won't believe it. This is LIVE. They're legit and the Japanese crowd is incredible.

This is all live and filmed in concert in Japan, the audio is from the studio for the video version. You can watch the actual live performance, there really isn't much difference

Babymetal is a wicked Foxhole to go down, I have been a fan of theirs since 2015, they were formed in 2010, there is quite a story behind their creation and the whole lore behind them, also once you’ve listened to a few more songs check out the Guide to Babymetal by cryptic misery the 40+ min long video it will answer many questions for you

About time xD Dude I've followed your journey with Rammstein and it is my firm belief BABYMETAL is the only other band that compares to Rammstein in terms of live show production. I'm excited and hyped for your journey ahead. And don't worry, their liveshows are fire. It's not choreographed or faked. BABYMETAL is one of the most interesting and unique bands on the planet with some of the most epic live shows with the most epic and wild crowds. I'm ready for more.

absolutely amazing please more Babymetal 💜💜🥺🥺

These girls were in their early teens in this video. They are in their 20's now and are one of the top metal acts in the world today. They'll be hosting a festival in Japan this May and Electric Callboy is one of the invited band's to be playing there🦊🤘

We need more Babymetal reactions, especially live versions lol

Saw them live. Before Muse. The crowd is real, trust me. 😅

It's still crazy to me that people haven't heard this song. It's only been out 10+ years. But it's also great that new people are discovering Babymetal for the first time. I would highly recommend checking out the newest song (it's a collab between F.hero and Bodyslam) called "Leave it all Behind" just for a comparison between then and now.

Love it! Absolutely love these ladies!

Headbanger is a awesome Track as well

Jeeeezus i was not ready for that. Guess you weren’t either.

Babymetal is Japan's #1 International Group. With #1 Albums in the UK and in the USA on Billboard's "Top Rock Album" chart, Babymetal has been turning the World Metal Scene on its Ear for more than a decade!! More Babymetal Always!! Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!

This is recorded at a live concert in 2013 - the crowd isn't choreographed intentionally, but Japanese shows derived from the "idol culture" can appear that way even though it is spontaneous, as fans literally memorize both songs and the idol's choreography! It is worth noting that the trio were 15 and 16 at the time - and all had already been performing professionally for a minimum of 3 years. That phrase you were searching for - it's "Nibble, nibble, nibble!"

Gimme more *BABYMETAL* reactions!! 🤘🏻😜 Plz 💪🏻😬🤳🏻

Baby metal and bring me the horizons song is fireeee

Amazing concert in Philly this year so glad I got to see him live

I've been in multiple BABYMETAL crowds before. Although the audience isn't choreographed, a lot of people in the crowd do know the dance moves, and they know when to react to certain parts of the song, when to jump, when to shout callbacks, and so on. It's a bit like attending a Rock Horror Picture Show performance in that the crowd has developed its own routine as part of the live experience at their shows. However, regarding the question about lip-syncing, the video from this is from a live concert, and they did perform live at that show (though in their early days they did incorporate a layer of pre-recorded back vocals because they were in their early teens and it was very difficult for the two younger ones, who were doing most of the choreography, to maintain steady vocals while dancing that vigorously), this particular clip is just the live video over the studio audio track. This particular video also did not feature live instruments. In their early days, they could not afford to pay live musicians to play an entire show, so they would perform to a backing track with actors in skeleton costumes pretending to play the instruments, then they would bring their actual live band (the "kami band") onstage for the last couple songs at each show. Of course, now they are selling out major stadiums worldwide, so they can afford the full live band now, lol!

I desperately wish people wouldn’t recommend Gimme Chocolate first. They do it for shock value but BabyMetal have so many better songs and have collabed with half the metal industry. Pleasepleaseplease give them a second listen with Road of Resistance, Live in Japan.

Welcome to the foxhole! You definitely need to react to more of their stuff! They’re amazing! The vocalist is Su Metal and the other two dancing around Su are Moa Metal and Yui Metal. Yui Metal sadly left the band in 2018 and eventually a new member by the name of Momo Metal joined in 2023. They’ve been around since 2010 so they have a lots of years in the industry. They’re are the founders of the genre known as Kawaii Metal or cute metal, which is the blend of heavy metal and the vocal sounds of JPop. They have a huge dedicated fanbase like me known as The One which stem from many different parts of the world, but their biggest supporters are back home in Japan. And to answer the question about the audience being staged, it’s not. The fanbase at the Japanese shows are just like that. Plus all their shows are always sold out because that’s how amazing and popular they really are. If you don’t believe me then you should definitely check out more of their live performances. I would suggest checking out ForTheFoxGod channel on KZread he has very hd quality videos of their performances. But I would definitely suggest Road of Reistance next along with Megitsune and headbanger. And if you want to check out their recent stuff I would suggest monochrome live at pia arena 2023 which is on their official yt. Along with Metali ft Tom Morello from RATM. And kingslayer with bring me the horizon. And if you want some hip hop vibes check out BxMxC and PaPaYa. Looking forward to see you react to more of their stuff! Anyways keep up the good job! I really enjoy your videos! Really good stuff! Anyways enjoy and again welcome to the foxhole! Kitsunes up! 🤘🏽🦊🤘🏽

YEEESSSSSSS This album is FIRE. Megitsune is another good one on the album

Tom Morello did a song with them called METALI!!, he tuned his guitar to sound classical Japanese. There’s a few collab’s with other metal bands, Kingslayer w/ Bring Me The Horizon is one of my favourites.

I'm Japanese. Thank for your reaction. BABYMETAL is not metal band but 'METAL DANCE UNIT'(in official).😁 And they are already adults now. The vocalist is always selected as one of the top rock singers in the world by famous music magazines in the United Kingdom and is called 'Queen' in the metal world. So I recommend their latest official MV, for example 'Mirror mirror', 'Metal kingdom' on You Tube.😀

Babymetal liveshows is just crazy.. im not really putting it on playlists and listen to it, but the liveshows is out of this world still, and something not seen this way before.. so i watch those for sure..

Got to see them live last night and they kicked *ss. Excited to see this video and the reaction. This song is cheeky.

BP got me lmao 😂

Gimme Chocolate is the intro song, now you have Headbanger 97, Road to Resistance, and for you guys BMC

Some live performances id suggest from babymetal: "Megitsune Live at PIA arena (eng subs)" "Headbanger!! Live at budokan (eng subs)" "Monochrome live at PIA arena (eng subs)" Hope you enjoy what you hear if you come back to it 🤘🦊

Band Maid is also fire Japanese metal. Their drummer goes crazy!

I knew he's gonna hear it lol!

the video's from an actual concert, the legend 1997 concert to be specific - in the video the lead singer Su-metal had ust turned 16 the day before, and I believe Yui-metal and Moa-metal were both 14? 15 at the oldest. The audio though is official track on this video, I believe whenever it says official without 'LIVE' added as well then it's track. They soud even better in live videos! And as for the crowd, everyne who goes to a BM conert knows the crowd choreography, lol

This band did a cover of Juda's Priest's "Painkiller" with Rob Halford, so they must be doing something right.

FYI: The audience is NOT choreographed🤣🤣🤣 This WAS a live show, but this particular video is studio song over live video unfortunately. There are plenty of ACTUAL live videos to choose from. Babymetal is specifically made for live shows.

You should react to more of their music, they have a great library of songs out there. With that out of the way, you should also just check out more Japanes music. We've been kinda ignoring JP's music industry for so long but they've had some AMAZING artist that should have been bigger globally than they are/were

I have read that they sometimes train singing while running on a treadmill...

The band actually do some really good music

If you ever get the chance to see Babymetal live, you need to. They are phenomenal live.

Tbis is an absolutely live performance. As far as the audience goes, japanese audiences ARE group oriented just as their socieety is as a whole. This video was from about 10 uears ago when the lead singer was 17 and the other 2 were 15 though they all had been trained for this for childhood.

I think you'd enjoy Papaya as the next Babymetal reaction. It's got rap in it too and is BADASS. Edit - Also, that's a Japanese audience, so it may look like it's orchestrated but that's how Japanese audiences rock.

When you see the skeleton band they are singing to a track. Their actual band is called the Kami Band and it is made up of some of the best metal players in Japan. You need to watch Road of Resistance and Papaya. They’ve opened for Judas Priest and other legendary bands. They are extremely popular and their crowds are real.

here for more babymetal! They go so hard. my favourite is less song and more spectacle/theatre. its Death / Legend 1997

Well. You’ve summoned the Babymetal fans. Headbanger and Papaya are my favourite

I am forever watching your videos, your interviews and your reactions. I was recently over the pandemic introduced to babymetal and after seeing your reaction I too was left skeptical, but I followed it down the rabbithole and saw the crowds they pulled in saw the fanbase they had and listened to many More songs becoming evermore infected by their sounds and siren song.

If you want to see them live, check out the official video for "Road of Resistance" .

As for the choreographed audience issue, you need to know that BABYMETAL come from an idol background, which includes wotagei. "Wotagei (ヲタ芸), also known as otagei (オタ芸), refers to a type of dancing and cheering gestures performed by wota, fans of Japanese idol singers (and thus seen as Akiba-kei), involving jumping, clapping, arm-waving and chanting slogans. "

The audience KNOWS the songs and their "cues" to MOVE!
