Babymetal - Akatsuki (Unfinished version)

Sounds like you haven't seen the most (in)famous version of "babymetal death" (which is from this show). Definitely a must see. For anyone who says BM aren't metal, show 'em this...

We must have told you Legend 1997 was Su-metal's 16th birthday celebration in December 2013. This was the 4th of 5 encore songs, so 13th or 14th song of the night - just 'BABYMETAL DEATH' to follow for the finale. You will need to see that and the show opener 'Ave Maria and Headbanger Night of 15 Re-Mix' to see what the statue was there for.

It was me who recommended this song the most :) Told ya, it's right up there with Monochrome The First Take and that Su literally cries, you can see her tears P.S. Was kinda hoping to see this on youtube eventually but couldn't wait anymore so here I am

Queen Su. First time I saw this performance I was watching a video with lyrics which added another layer as I had never heard a BM song with such subject matter, which made it feel even more special/unique. Just a special special performance.

Good reaction! This was the second song of a three-song encore known by fans as the "Trilogy of Death" - Headbanger, Akatsuki and BABYMETAL Death. This "trilogy" closed out the Legend 1997 concert, so they had been going hard for over an hour at this point.

I literally can never get through this performance without shedding a tear! Love this version so much!

So much emotion and passion. And only 16 years old.
