BABYMETAL - Megitsune (Official Music Video) | Reaction | Kawaiiiii Metal!😍

Suggest you watch these two videos to better understand the impact of Megitsume: BM commenting on Megitsume MV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXCC93Txtnw - English sub English professor AJ Hartley for his break-down of the lyrics and Japanese cultural references https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFZ_dTIc13c - in English

When you decide to do a live version of this song, and if you want something unique I can send you the live video of them performing at the women-only fox fest from 2017. It would have to be Patreon only since that would get blocked within seconds on YT.

Please do live version

I think the live version is a wayy better than the mv, and their interaction with the crowd is amazing in this song when they play it live. Yeah both of you are true, this were filmed when Moa and Yui were like 12 or 13 years old and Su was 13 or 14 years old maybe.

PaPa Xan explains the lore about the Fox God in BabyMetal Universe so good and embraced that their is not more to say. And when you hear SuMetals voice right from the beginning of her career it seem to me that she is realy godsendet to catch our souls and minds only for the reason to make this world a better place. And so it does'nt surprise that, when I listen to BabyMetal, I can forget for a short time the dusability and cruel reality of this world. The songs and statements of BabyMetal seed the dream in me that TheOne changes the world in a place were respect and tolerance outstrips egoism and misconduct. And so it is with your reactions to hear and watch BabyMetal together with you and enjoy the conversations, explanations and discussions in respectfull harmony prettifies the time that it uses to watch and comment your reactions. So as longer as better. 🦊🦊🦊 For The Fox-God 🦊🦊🦊

Don't see this on Youtube so I assume you are having some copyright problems Or maybe it just hasn't been uploaded yet. Great to see it here and definitely worth doing a live version (I recommend Babymetal Begins PIA or Legend MM). This is the song most performed live (over 300 times) and is always crazy live and usually has some audience interaction.

乙女はなめたらいかんぜよ (Otome wa nametara ikan zeyo) "Maidens shouldn't be underestimated." The "nametara ikan zeyo" part of the line Su speaks when she pulls the tanto from her microphone sheath is from an old Japanese gangster movie, Onimasa (original title: 鬼龍院花子の生涯 or Kiryuin Hanako No Shogai) - 1982/85, and was uttered by the gangster's daughter. It can also be translated as "don't mess with me/us". Here's a clip from the movie: https://youtu.be/RaPtyrQDf88?si=kHFz7TEIEMRQZzJD&t=197 And here's more info about that line and how it is translated: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaiCMNsN2BY

Babymetal was summoned by the Fox God (a fake god made up by Babymetal) to revive metal. Su was a pop idol who was sacrificed (Babymetal Death Legend 1997) and reborn as a metal goddess who uses her voice to put the stars in the sky. The light from the stars shines down and creates The One. Plus about a books worth of additional lore. You guys are probably ready for the guide soon. There is fox (kitsune - kit soon eh) imagery in everything Babymetal does.

The significance of the fox hasa a couple meanings in both Japanese culture and within Babymetal. In Japanese culture the fox was worshipped by some and there are/were Fox shrines that people can go to and pay their respects, pray, or whatever. In Babymetal the Fox symbolizes the God that summoned Babymetal into existence, the Fox God. That's why you see a lot of fox references in Babymetal lore. In the context of this song and in somewhat outdated Japanese culture, a fox is a sly and devious creature there to deceive you, and it's used almost as a slur against Japanese women because they're seen as decetful because they hide their feelings. If you look up the lyrics for the song you'll see that it's about women not being deceitful because they hide their emotions, it's because they're strong enough to smile on their face while crying in their heart. It's a girl power song, basically. They're saying they aren't foxes (kitsunes) but strong female foxes (megitsunes) , and when Su pulls out that knife she quotes a line spoken by a mobsters daughter in an old Japanese gangster movie, she basically says "Women should not be underestimated". Back in 2017 they did a series of concerts called the Five Fox Fest, and each show had certain audience requirements, like all males, all females, only old people, only school age children, and one where every one had to where white robes with white corpse paint on their faces, like the old Kami Band. In any case, at the all female show this was the opening song and the audience was going nuts.
