BABYMETAL - NIGHT NIGHT BURN! | WHAT TOOK US SO LONG TO SEE THIS?!
This song is a brilliant tribute to a Spanish sound, but couldn't help but notice the SOAD similarities - and they were more than one occurrence, but decided to cut it shorter this time lol - the whole band (as always) kicked major ass!!!!
Guess who decided to call it a new favorite ? 😂

Damn how I missed this one? I'm a spaniard and I'm so happy this song just exists!
There are so many great things about this song (and video) that it's impossible to list them all, but one thing I don't think gets enough attention is just how amazing their choreo is around the "ticoticotico" part. No, not because of their funny wiggles, but did you notice how Moa is taking center stage at this part (and is ostensibly the one singing the "tico"s)? And during each rotation she remains at the center until the end of the last string of "tico"s where all three of them effortlessly shift to place Su back into the middle for her vocals. It is SO smoothly done it's no wonder it's not noticed, but it deserves mucho praise.
Excellent observation! We didn't pick that part up but yes this video and music is filled with so many details it's hard to take it all in over 1 or 2 or even 3 listens!!
Have I or somebody else told you, that you are as unique as the band we are talking about ? I watched realy a lot of reactions and I can’t remember that I saw one of the other reactors watch the complete video twice live. I love to see how you enjoy that. And I realy think BabyMetal live performances are so crammned with impressions, that one watch isn’t enough. A friend of mine, that I want to introduce to BabyMetal says: „ I can’t watch it, too much action too much happens, It’s to much for me, it’s to wild“. I believe it is one of the „secrets“ why I don’t get tired, to watch BabyMetal videos again and again, very often I discover new details; many times with your help or because of your explanations. Night Night Burn! is a song I didn’t heard so often and thats the reason I was surprised (yes BabyMetal can surprise me again and again) about the performance and vocalisation. I can’t imagine how the girls can remember so many different dance-choreographies and do that simmultaneous and make it look like it is the easiest thing in the world. 🦊🦊🦊 For The Fox-God 🦊🦊🦊
You're absolutely right about the details in their performances, there's so much to grasp that myself and Nonna were talking about even revisiting some of the earlier reactions as a 2.0 to watch it with new ears and new appreciation because we're now very connected to the band vs how we initially were juust introduced to them, maybe we'd do this on Patreon if y'all don't think it's a waste of your time 😂 Also btw, when we said in the beginning of this reaction "you know who are" we were talking about you 😁 because of your list we were able to remember this song, just like how others helped (and continue to help) recommending other songs especially here on Patreon. ❣️
Well, I think I said I was a patient guy - and boy did it pay off! I just knew you'd love it - I was pushing it for so long firstly because my Wife is a Latina and only likes this song and No Rain no Rainbow and also the fact that they do homages to different musical cultures so well - plus I knew for sure Nonna would adore the dancing, as my Wife does. As a side note it's worth mentioning the Avenger here (Kano Fujihira) who I believe was only 16 here where Su and Moa were around 22/23 ish - she did such a good job didn't she?! Another thing that will make you laugh is the infamous 'Tico Tico Ting' video - on a loop for an hour 😆 I kid you not. Here's the proof https://youtu.be/vzhefi8hF0w?si=Y4vBGuOY0ppaTXQn 😆 Anyway, thanks so much for doing this, it's made my day! As always take good care of yourselves. David
That video is hilarious, guess someone gets their jollies watching them wiggle. Sorry about your wife, mine is not a fan of metal (she's chinese), but she likes shanti shanti shanti, o majini, and shine, basically ethnic ones. Oh and monochrome piano version. I like the dance party ones like da da dance and Iine. 😄😄😄
Your reactions were great. Yes, SOAD Influences, Moa said her personal favorite from SOAD is Toxicity. There are many more great songs from babymetal, so keep smiling, "how many favorites can I have?" One song I noted where you missed the influence ( you didn't comment on it at least) was the ska influence on Yava. I guess you were too overjoyed. I think you understand babymetal enough to know that it is Su's voice that makes it babymetal, if she had been the vocalist for SOAD, you would say that's Babymetal. The documentary will explain why, remember I told you about "over the future" by Karen's Girls, Su was 11 yo. It changed our world.
Thank you Paul, and you won't beleive this.. Here a behind the scene embaras.. I mean info : we in fact started reacting to the documentary from 2021, and 5 minutes in (where it started talking about Su being the class lead.. Etc.) we realized that the recording had stopped waaay earlier, basically at the intro and before the actual video played (that's like 15 minutes of time passed at that point) so we decided to scrap it and do a song instead due to time constraints and we get smacked on the face by this awesome face which just elevates our mood entirely (as usual lol) We've decided to do the doc on the weekend where we have more time at hand.
just left a hundred song to say its different 🤣 want some more tip: Da Da Dance (with a crazy Moa dance xD) Elevator Girl English ver [we have EN and JP version] ( i consider a bit different vocal normally Su does)
Da da dance has been requested by Paul recently and it does sound fun, but we didn't know about 2 versions of elevator girl! That's intriguing, maybe we'd do a two-fer soon!
I remember reading a comment from someone more familiar with the Japanese language that there is some word-play in the chorus here. Apparently „Nai nai ba!“ is something similar to a peek-a-boo game that you do with little children (you know, where you hide your face behind your hands and then suddenly peek around, and the children giggle hilariously). As Japanese has no mora with single consonants (apart from „n“), it‘s often not easy for Japanese speakers to pronounce the letter „t“ at the end of a foreign word. So instead of turning it into „to“ (which you have probably heard them do), some tend to soften it so much that it almost disappears, which makes „night“ almost sound like „nai“. If you listen closely, the chorus does indeed sound more like „Nai nai ba“ than „Night night burn“, I think. If Japanese native speakers read this, please feel free to confirm or deny.
Oh that's actually very smart if true (about the peekaboo) in fact after we finished the reaction, we were talking about the song still.. As we usually tend to esp when we're very impressed, and Nonna did point out that she liked how it sounded Ni Ni instead of night night, while I honestly didn't even catch that as I was taken by the music and the sounds and choreo and and and 😂
