BABYMETAL - Iine (Official MV) | REACTION!! We've never been this confused lol

Fortunately I saw this song on my first BM concert in Jakarta Indonesia 2022 (yes with Momo as an official member).. man this song slaps like a train

🍅💀🍅 🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼 Sentimetal Night

I got to see them twice on their last tour in America. Those big Arena shows are always recorded so they basically follow an script but on their US leg of the tour most of the shows were on medium sized venues and man, the girls were laughing, making faces, interacting with the crowed most of the times ( after you guys memorize most of the songs start to watch the fan cams ), its so good to see them having the times of their life's, but don't take me wrong they probably have bad days too, there is a fan cam from Seattle i believe, where you can see Momo doing the Headbanger choreo all over the place, slow paced and there was a moment I really though she was drunk. when the music ended you could see in the dark that she collapsed and Moa ran to her and helped her to stand up and carried her to back of the stage, when they crossed the curtains Momo fell to the ground with the girls all over her. They stopped the concert and a medic was called, after 10 minutes they came back and played RoR, Momo was her normal self again. Those girls have fun and laugh but I'm pretty sure sometimes they get tired, sick, but I'm pretty sure they keep going for the respect they have for all the fans.

Can you imagine listening to this through lockdown? I know I mention it a lot - but the smiles and general happiness are so infectious. I've seen them here in London 5 times and as Nonna suggested, they are smiling all the time and that's almost impossible to fake - plus the fact that you can generally tell if someone is under pressure!! I hadn't seen either of these videos - I've seen the live version including Yui which I still personally prefer - it was with the original Kami Band (East) - I just love them and can't wait for you both to cover them - Su's solo songs show them at their best especially 'Rondo of Nightmare' with the Kami Band intro entitled 'Mischief of Metal Gods' - I think you'll be impressed, especially by the bassist 'Boh'. As always, take good care of yourselves and please don't forget 'Nightfish' , sorry Nonna - couldn't help myself! 😆 🤣

I love the updated version of iine. It goes so much harder!!

Haha, Babymetal used to be REALLY REALLY wierd 😅 took a bit for that one to grow on me but of course it did! It's almost jarring watching when they were that tiny, but endearing watching them try to emulate the childlike playfulness for the new performances!

That was a fun reaction to watch, and don't worry about being confused, that is just part of the deal with Babymetal. I am sure it was intentional that they mixed so many genres in one song, to confuse people =) Either way, I'm happy they're bringing some of the older songs back into their live shows, as they're still a lot of fun and just as good today.

I didn't get to watch all the video at once. I have seen so many performances at festivals, interviews, commentary on their early days at Sakura Gakuin and I have seen them live recently. I just do not think you can fake sincerity and these Ladies from a very young have not changed other than gotten better and smarter and have made so many friends in the industry and in their fandom, All of it is not just based on their music but their sincerity and I believe the sheer joy they get from performing. No one who has had so many opportunities to call it quits would have persevered if they did not enjoy what they do and for me every time they take the stage it shines openly in their smiles and devotion to their craft. Though like yourself I truly hope I am right and that they have never experienced anything untoward in their lives and careers. Maye The Fox God watch over them and protect them.

part 2 Accidentally posted, sorry. I think the girls are very well cared for and loved by the people they work with. For one thing there are places in various performances where they'll all just look at each other and their joy just beams authenticity. Which I'm sure is why it is so infectious. I'll just give you one example you might not have heard yet. Koba their manager and the genius behind Babymetal. Back in 2016 Babymetal were playing the Download Festival in England. And it was pouring. Absolutely a downpour. The girls felt that people were there to see them and despite the weather they were going to perform. Once that decision was made there is YT footage of Koba on stage pre-show with a broom sweeping water off the stage. I don't believe there are a lot of managers at this level who would do something like that. If they didn't really care for their stars. What do you think? I think the girls do bring the best out in people. Anyways great fun as always. And Nonna you are just rocking that hair style. Looking good! As always peace and best wishes to you both.

Don't worry many confused when first seeing this . A clip for you to appreciate the courography because it's so fast a slow motion clip of the train part of courography https://youtu.be/5m-I_1Oe8Zc?si=KzJGnwHknBItjJ7e 😁🤘🏼🦊

Hey you two, wonderful to be back and sharing Babymetal again. Totally agree with your comments. And yeah, could not stop smiling from start to finish.

I really love this song even the original with all it's datedness. Always makes me smile at those amazing young girls putting their feet on the path of greatness. I would so love to be in Moa and Su's head performing that now. I believe it has been a long while.

You will be happy to know that BABYMETAL’s parent company, Amuse Inc. has a very good reputation in Japan. Key Kobayashi (Kobametal, or just Koba) has daughters that are about the same age as Su and Moa. Koba is always willing to take the heat, and have fans be mad at him, rather the members.

Momo's solo line was the first time we got to clearly hear her voice as this was only the third song of her first show as an offical member (Metal Kingdom and Road Of Resistance being the opaning songs). And especially Moa and Momo are having the time of their lives on stage. When watching late performances with Yui from 2016 to 2017 I always have the feeling that Yui was not as happy as in the beginning anymore. This might have to do with the health issues that forced her to quit. Or that the whole Babymetal thing got too much for her. This is something that happens to other musicians too when the popularity gets too big and the touring extensive.

I wish there were some way we could know that they’re well taken care of and genuinely happy without violating their privacy. This for me is especially true about Yuimetal. As good as they are at acting I don’t want to believe their smiles onstage are mere performances. I want to be happy for them, proud of them, protective of them. I have never seen anything like these three and their music and dance.

That was 'so good' (literally since that is what iine means - think thumbs up emoji👍). It was only the second song they released, that was very early in 2012 (it was their third song but IDZ, which was the second song they performed, was released later). They were establishing very early that the usual rules of what you can do, what genres you can mix into one song and so on were not going to apply to BABYMETAL. They were not going to be pigeonholed or restricted to playing just one genre and songs that all sound the same. So EDM, a bit of hip hop/rap and then that drop into death metal (they did warn you - "Yo yo yo yo. Microphone check, one two one two. Are you ready to mosh? Kitsune da o!"). Quite possibly the best drop into death metal from hip hop ever - and then back to the EDM to finish. As the song title suggests - it is so good.👍 There are some live performances with the hip hop section still included (a very early one has them saying "BABYMETAL in da house" and then Yui and Moa saying something like "Hang on, aren't we meant to be doing metal?" "Isn't this metal?" "No its not!" As for them being looked after, all the indications are they have always been very much looked after and protected with no social media, no meet & greets and absolutely nothing about their private lives ever being disclosed. They have also had many opportunities to quit - before they separated from Sakura Gakuin they were asked (with their parents) if they wanted to continue. Moa's Mum even said if her school grades dropped she would be out. When Yui left Su and Moa were given the option to end BABYMETAL - they chose to continue through to their 10th anniversary as that was what the three of them had agreed to aim for. When they went on hiatus in 2021 it was not a certainty they would return, but Su and Moa, after a long break away from music, got together and hired a studio to sing and dance together and rekindled their love and enthusiasm for what they had been doing. They may be trained Idols and actresses - I can't believe even the best actresses could fake those smiles and the fun they have messing with each other during their concerts.

do you wanna see yui and moa play the guitar live?

BM is the happiness and joy diary pill 😊 if you're sad, look at this smiles hahah

I am glad you saw the mv, because you see where they came from, wearing clothes they borrowed. It's so ddr. Such a dance party, everyone smiles!

We'll never REALLY know, since their private lives are kept that way. But we do know that Su and Moa would have renegotiated their contracts several times by now, and their touring schedule was kept very limited during their school years. Also, Koba had a daughter around their age and seemed to immediately remove them from some idol stuff like meet and greets when they became independent. So the context clues we have are that they have a pretty good support team and life balance, and hopefully that is true! Hopefully you guys will do the most recent guide at some point, looking forward to more BM reactions!

Iine! was Babymetal's early manifesto declaring that they will not be boxed in or pigeon-holed into any one single style or genre of metal or music. As far as off-stage, their private lives are extremely protected by Koba and Amuse, so they get to be normal people out of costume, unlike in the west where a celebrity's life is under a microscope at all times.

We believe they are happy. Of course we can't know for sure and they are people like anyone and surely have bad days. But everything we see seems to indicate they are enjoying life.

I'm sometimes having similar thoughts about the girls well-being as well. On one hand, their happiness seems absolutely genuine, to a point that I can't imagine it being fake. And it's not just on stage, it's also in interviews and the few other instances we get to see them off stage. On the other hand, they have had acting training as well, and I do believe that they could have the worst day and still make it seem like they are happy. So in the end, the truth is probably somewhere in between, as it always is. They certainly have bad days and force a smile, but most of the time their liveliness goes beyond simple smiles that could be faked, I believe. If they didn't have fun on stage in general, they'd just stop doing it.

Nonna is right. They fairly quickly dropped the rap part from this song after a couple of performances

Pia Arena people are so damn lucky. I wana see iine! live so bad! =(

I was so exited when I saw, you react to that song and I don't get wrong. Your confusion was worth seeing. The mix of musicstyles is awsome and so well combined. Another reactor says this song has a identity chrisis and needs medical help (in a good way). Anyway this song is pure happiness, cuteness and entertainment and I don't get tired to hear it. Of course they matured in technic and perfected the entertainment and musicianship. It was one of their first songs and at that time they had not the financial and tecnical backround like today. But for me it doesn't derogate the enjoyment. So I am also glad, that you do a doppel-reaction. And as you see due to the crowdparticipation this song is also one off the dozen favorites of The One. It delivers happiness and energy to us and in the faces of the three "girls" you can see how they enjoy the show and the showing of a "evergreen" See You ... and 🦊🦊🦊 For The Fox-God 🦊🦊🦊
