RIP Mikio.
Allow me to be a contradictory pedant for a moment, if you will, but "Babymetal" the brand and the group is, actually, "just" Su, Moa and Momo. The backing band is not included in that brand (which is why they are not featured in posters/advertisements/merchandise) and it's why they are separately referred to as the Kami band. They are absolutely there in support of Babymetal who could not do what they do without them but they are not, technically, a part of Babymetal. They are all exceedingly gifted and talented session musicians who also work independently of their work with Babymetal. However I'm sure you've discovered by now that most Babymetal fans love all of the members of the East and West Kami bands as much as they love the three women and that's in no small part because Babymetal and the management around Babymetal constantly acknowledge them as an important part of the show/experience (also encouraging them to showcase their talents in solos during the concerts). It's a symbiotic relationship between the two groups, as many members of the Kami band have said in the past. Babymetal would not be the same without the Kami band's backing, but the Kami band members would not have the global exposure they do without Babymetal taking them all over the world on tour. There is so much love between them. While not officially stated, it's speculated that Starlight is a dedication to former Kami band member Mikio (I'm sure others have already gone into the details here). I can't comment on the appropriate post for obvious reasons, but I hope you enjoyed Rondo of Nightmare as much as I thought you would and that my hyping it up didn't build up expectations too much. ;) Thank you for placing some of these on the Free tier so less fortunate folks like myself can enjoy them with you! #THG #notacult
Hey Mike, could not agree with you more! Symbiotic is an excellent word to describe the Kami and BM! I think because we both are still considered new to the band, and we've always seen them as a unit, we consider them as part of Babymetal the brand, but you're absolutely correct, which is why they're not featured in their music videos generally (at least in the few ones we've seen so far)! Thank you for your comment and your support through comments and likes is not taken for granted ❣️
Always picture myself running through the rain screaming my heart out for the lost of my father (in case of Babymetal is Mikio) and convincing my self that he's happy somewhere in the afterlife and I'll be fine. What a beautiful song for me at least
RIP to your dad, he's definitely, definitely in a better place now and hope you too are!
Sooo... Will you react to the BABYMETAL guide this week? I think you have seen enough so there will be no spoilers of their songs only background information.
Hahaha no, at this point you're probably right about the spoilers but it'll be tough to do it within this week, we're planning to do it afterwards for Patreon first and then YouTube eventually.
This song make me miss mikio fujioka .
I look for these reactions with my morning coffee, so enjoyable. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ With the mention of stargaze, it seems this one was for Mikio, rip, who died falling 40 ft from a stargazing platform and BM knows they will never meet again alive on earth, pretty deep. Apparently stargazing from the tops of buildings is a thing in Japan, but I really don't know, I read it somewhere.
The trilogy of death is a fan-made construct. I have no idea who came up with it, and it doesn‘t make sense. Headbanger has absolutely nothing to do with death at all, and I think it‘s debatable whether Akatsuki has.
Trilogy of death or Babymetal Death for mentioned in the YouTube comments a couple of times actually so we're also unsure what that represents yet 😁 And yeah I don't think we meant to mention a link between Babymetal Death and Headbangerr, it's just that the latter has many versions we weren't sure where to start and if it's right to include it in this BM week, ultimately decided otherwise though, so we'll have to do it afterwards and then hopefully do the documentary soon for Patreon!
Hello again, after watching your reaction and given my thoughts befor I try to make it short. I whatch the reaction because of the reactors and their analysis and statements so the quality of the video is secondary. Nonna you are so right ! BabyMetal isn't only the talented girls or the famous band or the genious management or the legendary choreographer or or or IMO the whole association and contruction seems godgiven for our enjoyment and makes BabyMetal so unique and somtimes transcendental. You know I love Nightwish, but there I know what to expect. BabyMetal surprises me on and on not only in their new releases but also in songs that I have heard not so often I hear new details and inflections because the arrangments and performances are so complex. 🦊🦊🦊 For The Fox-God 🦊🦊🦊
Hey Habibis ! Before I start watching this reaction I will redeem my promise about the lore of "Trilogy Of Lights". I don't know how many informations you got befor and I don't want to bore you. And also it is a realy big discussion about the intensions of that songs. The trruth only the Fox-God knows. Ok maybe KobaMetal, the different writers of this songs and the Bandmembers and somemore persons also. Mayby everybody of them has also is own. personal intensions to this songs ? It seems clear that "Starlight" telling us something about the loss of somebody (or something). The temporal nearness of the accident and death of Fuijoka Mikio RIP will be no fortuity. For me personaly, every time I see "Starlight" I'm remembering for YuiMetal (but she is gone away from BabyMetal not from earth fortunatly) but a big loss for sure for many people apart from Su and Moa and the crew. I also found that: On October 19, BABYMETAL released a new song called "Starlight." Along with the video for the song came the announcement that Mizuno is no longer a member of BABYMETAL, hinting at a future solo career under the name Mizuno Yui. She also cited physical issues as a reason for departure (Copy from Babymetal Wiki Fandom Quelle: Revolver Magazine and Babymetal Official Webside) "Shine" will give us hope, perseverance, and confidence and want us to believe in miracles (maybe better superior force) and to keep moving forward to rise up and not to despair . The meaning of "Shine" isn't easy to explain to somebody for me, but it goes deep in my soul. "Arcadia" is clearly and easy to locate after troubling. Giving strength, going and looking forward , and telling us to rise to the (new) challenges of life. In all 3 songs matches the music and emotional singing so perfect with the meanings that it doesn't realy need lyriks to follow IMO. WOW that became a very long essay, sorry. I hope it is a little interesting and helpfull. This is my personal view of the "Trilogy of Lights and no scientific analysis but I'm open for discussion 🦊🦊🦊 For The Fox-God 🦊🦊🦊
This is very insightful, and although I'm not sure how you'll feel (or whether you'll agree or not) with the meaning we got from this trilogy, which will become clear in tomorrow's video where we conclude it, but I have a feeling you'll at least enjoy the discussion and how our opinion and mood suddenly shifted mid reaction, even Nonna was very emotional and teary eyed even towards the end.. But I'm not gonna spoil it further for you 😊 I still think that my interpretation, even if it was not what the band/writer intended, it still makes alot of sense and it filled us both with pain and pride!! OK I'll stop now 🤐😁
