BABYMETAL - FROM DUSK TILL DAWN | uhh.. EXCUSE US??!
This is it… the official end of our very first BABYMETAL WEEK! 💥 In this reaction, we (Battoosh & Nonna) dive into the absolutely breathtaking “From Dusk Till Dawn” live at Budokan 2021 [4K Subtitled], and let us tell you—it hit like a wave of pure atmosphere and power! From Su-metal’s ethereal vocals to the haunting electronic textures and tight band performance, this one had us stunned and speechless (well… almost 😅). We talk about the unreal vocal control, the cinematic staging, and yes—even compare it to Nightwish, Korn's dubstep era, and everything in between. As always, chaos, laughs, and love for the Fox God flow freely in this one. 💀🦊 This isn’t the end of BABYMETAL content—far from it. We still have Headbanger, the Trilogy of Light, Metal Kingdom, and more! But this marks the end of an unforgettable BABYMETAL Week that blew us away thanks to YOU—the incredible community that showed up with knowledge, recommendations, and endless support. 🖤

After finishing your week, how do you guys rank BM? I think because they invented a new genre, they have had the impact that 4 boys from Liverpool had on music, 60 years ago!
That's a legitimate comparison, and a very good question!! We've grown to be fans of the music in a short time (which isn't new to us really.. the same happened with few other bands before), but what's kinda new is that we've also become really fonds of the ladies themselves, and that definitely includes Yui as well. We re-listen to many of their tracks frequently, but are very strict to only listen to the ones we reacted to, because we don't wanna ruin this journey of genuine first-reactions as we are very clear about the fact that it's a long one ahead !! :)
If you want EPIC, react to SHINE that is part of the trilogy of light but it has to be the Legend M ( Moa's 19th Bday, the same show where she does her version MOABANGER) where Moa surprises everyone with an unique, never done before, beautiful performance and Su slain on the vocals, this version of SHINE is one the most Iconic BM performances because it is just Su and Moa and it is a beautul song. Youtube usually has a hard time with this version but I have seen a few reactors use watermark and it worked pretty well.
Yet another great reaction, I really only listen to Babymetal reactions and the occasional Band-Maid or Hagane reactions both are Japanese bands. Really recommend the new Hagane songs with their new 4-person line-up, all the musicians are first class especially the drummer (Junna and Lead Guitarist (Sakura Yoshida) both do Babymetal covers. The new Hagane songs are Tengagokan and Hero Time. Nightwish are great, did you know Su won Heavy Metal Female singer of the year in 2024 beating Floor Jansen?
When asked "what can't she do" Battoosh replied "Arabic". Well it is not Arabic but it does have a strong Middle Eastern vibe - Metalizm https://youtu.be/wFZcwvJZBVg?si=C0p-pyY2yKAjYQ2V
When yall do the amazing iconic Headbanger series. This is the order to do them in. Headbanger Music Video Headbanger Legend 1997 Moabanger Momobanger. On this one for some crappy reason a compilation of SuBanger and Momobanger comes up first when you youtube search it. Don't do that one lol. The right video is on Babymetal Forever's channel that's 6 minutes and 41 seconds long. Their video will be the second one you see when you search it. Yui had a banger but it wasn't pro shot. Also there's a fun dubstep version with great dancing called Headbanger Night of 15 Mix Legend 1997. You definitely want to do this one but after the order gave you and whenever you want.
OK, so when you're back to BM, here are the must sees you have left: 1. Babymetal Death, Legend 1997 (2013). No other version even comes close. 2. Headbanger: as said above, Legend 1997 for the "standard" version, Legend M 2019 for Moabanger, and Legend MM 2024 for Momobanger (be careful, there is a compilation video of that last one, it's ridiculous, with Momo singing and Su shown singing). 3 Akatsuki: unfinished version Legend 1997, full version Budokan Black Night 2014. I really don't like the later versions, just for the guitar duet part, as instead of showing the actual guitar duet, we see 2 backup dancers making a dance fight on the scene, ridiculous. 4. Catch Me If You Can, Budokan Black Night 2014. It was done a lot in their first years, but they stopped doing as one of the choreo step imply Moa slipping between Su's legs, and she had become too big to do that (remind me in what show already she got stuck between her legs, it was hilarious). After that, you'll have covered the essentials, and you can go at will checking the rest. A few extra videos you might check (not necessarily react to, but at least check): - The Not So Extensive Guide to Babymetal (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIb2xEthdSg): as the title says, not the most extensive guide, but still full of info for the beginners in the One (still over 30 minutes long). - Babymetal reactions to their first music videos (Doki Doki Morning, Megitsune, Headbanger and IDZ): basically, the girls comment over their video, quite amusing, as they were still very young when they did that - Babymetal first big show on Japanese TV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Orx4HGqXk0o
I wouldn't say that's "all" the essentials, but then again I know everyone has their own idea on what is and isn't essential. As I stated in my comments on their YT vids I absolutely consider Rondo of Nightmare (with the Mischief of Metal Gods intro) an important video for both of them to experience. It's a perfect video that encapsulates the talent of the backing Kami band members and Su's powerful, emotive voice even all those years ago. It's also one that is, to my knowledge, never performed these days, so that video may be the only chance.
Your reactions are so good. I enjoy a lot this week. I waiting for the new videos. Sumetal is my favorite singer, she can do many different things with her voice. Kitsune Up #notacult
Doing my usual catching the un-edited version here and then back to YT so you get your views and likes. Sigh, the end of Babymetal week. You done good you two, you done good!
Thank you Robert as always!! 🫶🏻 And son we'll be pushing some exclusives to Patreon, or at least pre-releases to glue it worth your while over here! 🫰🏻🫡
Su pulls the mic away from her mouth to cut the sound sharply. One of the advantages of a hand held mic is that she can control that.
Su certainly has some effects on her voice (sustain for sure) but we do believe this is her voice live.
Sustain, reverb, chorus and such effects are typical in love performances generally and are not destructive really, they mainly enhance the perception of the sound but don't shake the voice per se, meaning of you can't really sing... Tough luck! But if you can, it'll make it sound more grand and beautiful. That's not the case with other vocab processors like pitch correction and auto tune, which exist in studio versions of many BM songs as we've heard though she CLEARLY doesn't need those.
You did do Metal Kingdom live and probably the best version, the PIA Arena one. You could do the Official video which is live footage from Returns with studio audio but the PIA Arena version you already did is really the best.
You know you want to do one more. Babymetal Death (Legend 1997) is calling to you. :D
😂 Unfortunately that's true
Great reaction as always! Yes, that was Su's live falsetto voice at the beginning of the song. She may have backing harmonies on track at times, but the only time she ever lip-synced AFAIK was when she had a cold and did not want to cancel their Moscow show several years ago.
Amazing vocal range!
When you go to do Headbanger, there are 4 versions: 1. Headbanger Night of 15 Mix w/Ave Marie Intro at Legend 1997 2. Headbanger Live at Legend 1997 3. headbanger Live at Legend M 2019 (Moabanger) 4. Headbanger Live at Legend MM (Momobanger) There is a Yui banger from 2015, but that is only fan-cam footage.
Not sure about 1, it's one of the very rare performances that is 100% tracks (Su doesn't even pretend to be singing live), but you can check it if you want a dubstep/EDM version of Headbanger. The rest are must-sees.
Great reaction to a faboulus song ! As we and I told you BabyMetal will surprise you many times. And as Jerry George said my favorite song is the song i currently listen to. And remember ... there is a reason why Su is voted as the BEST FEMALE METAL SINGER 2024 and this reason you have listened now for a week. I will give your "confusion" about BabyMetal (which is at that time not realy happen I think) a little boot I think you haven't discovert Black BabyMetal at this time. There are 4 songs performed by Yui and Moa without Su. Sis Anger https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcYnfUt6Vvg is a very good example of another piece of the BM-puzzle. I understand that you will explore more than just BabyMetal and for sure I will stay conected with you on that expedition, with the knowing you will come back to oure beloved band. Last but not least a little individual note. The day began with laughing together with you and the fun continues with that reaction No one do that to me so constantly as you both. As BabyMetal do .. you make the world a little bit better for me and I think it's not only my opinion. 🦊🦊🦊 For The Fox-God 🦊🦊🦊
We can't stay away now even if we wanted to! We're part of The One and there's no turning back!! 😇
I have seen plenty of BM reactions since I became a fan, but you are probably my favorites by far. You are having fun and even your fights make it more fun to watch! Also got to say, it is noticable that you are enjoying the journey and you aren't making this just for numbers as others do.
Thank you for the comment, means alot to us that y'all are enjoying our journey along with us, and truly what you see over here is how it is in real life, including the fights 😆 Our beautiful friends from Twitch know exactly what we're saying because they see that during our streams which are usually 4+ hours 🫰🏻🫡
Great reaction as always! It is normal to say that the Babymetal song you currently listen to is your favourite, so no worries if it changes for you😀🤘🦊 I am no japanese expert but I believe they only end on one consonant: -n. Otherwise just vowels.
My favourite BABYMETAL song is usually the current one I am listening to and there are about 30 BABYMETAL songs in my top 5 list 😀 If I was forced to choose... FDTD is my all-time time favourite BABYMETAL song. It hits me emotionally and transports me to another realm. I just wanted to say yes that was Su's voice that sounded like an angel singing.
It's Akatsuki - pronounced A-kat-ski. It's has a couple versions like The One. The Unfinished version is beautiful and emotional, and the fact Su was only 16, like literally the day after her 16th birthday, makes it even more impressive. Here is a good version if you want it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwsinmxTxbo
Babymetal death? for the trilogy one, for the shine song, i prefer from the Legend M 2019. Yeah Su show some high note pitch which she has and was so clean
Legend M really is the definitive version of Shine, however it's notoriously difficult to get uploaded to YT with out getting blocked. Legend M is still one of the most 'protected' shows.
