BabyMetal - Budokan Black Night

At the End, Everything Made Sense!!!!

BabyMetal - Budokan Black Night

Comments

The lyrics to Kim To Anime Ga Mitai are also pretty funny. There are a few versions with subtitles on YouTube.

As others have hinted at, they had a lot of legendary shows BEFORE their debut album was released in 2014, which is why you have to go back even further to cover their whole history.

Before the Legend I, D, and Z shows you could do some smaller performances. Doki Doki Morning TOKYO IDOL FESTIVAL 2011 2:21 mins https://youtu.be/V0dOATO3CaM LEGEND - Corset Festival - ROCK-MAY KAN - 2012 Headbanger and uki uki midnight 9:28 mins https://youtu.be/oj78cJj6SYE 2nd Idol Yokochō Festival - Doki Doki Morning and Iine 8:08 mins https://youtu.be/pWsZQkyXZas Some bonus content from around this time: Behind scenes of the Singapore show 2012 18:19 mins rumble.com/v21z228-babymetal-in-singapore-2012 You can also find Babymetal's commentary on their music videos on du-metal.blogspot.com The links titled members commentary

I liked that concert, but for sake of “album reaction pairing” I think the others are better. Of course, John may opt to just do ALL the concerts haha. Besides, the others are all much better IMO.

Ganimal

Since you liked so much their old concert, you need to watch the two tokyo dome nights in 2016… anyway nice reaction, its always good to watch babymetal with you!🫶🦊 sorry my bad english!!

Sorry just kind of answering questions as I watch the video. So Legend I, D and Z have been mentioned. They are the earliest "real" concerts in my opinion. Much less polished and a more simple production. Backing track and Babybones for most of the songs. Legend 1999 and 1997 were also before this but they are bigger more polished concerts and you have seen some videos from Legend 1997. Definitely worth watching Legend 1997 for the opening EDM version of Headbanger and the gold standard regular Headbanger and Gimme Choco performances. Still track and Babybones for most of the concert.

I'm looking forward to watching my personal favorites with you - MetRock 2015 (unbelievable audience, circle pits, walls of death, total mayhem), Tokyo Dome (the most spectacular stage and largest audience), Legend Metal Galaxy (both Kami bands on stage together, epic Headbanger performance).

Jim Nusbaum

I'd throw Dark Night Carnival in there just to get one of the really different ones and to cover the immediate post-Yui era.

Jim Nusbaum

One thing that always strikes me when watching a full show: Gimme Chocolate is probably the song that many of us hear the most often, and some even start to get tired of it, but when it comes up at a show, the hype always goes through the roof, and I get reminded how good of a song it actually is. The pace just pulls me along, the dancing is entertaining, the electronic elements are well integrated, and it's so incredibly catchy and uplifting. Always leaves me with a big smile. Regarding the bass: It's called a scalloped fretboard. Billy Sheehan's basses have that, too. It's not that unusual on guitars, I think Steve Vai may have introduced it, but I'm not sure. It's supposed to help your fingers to get under the strings better to have more grip for bends etc.

MetRock 2015 is my favorite performance just for the crowd participation. You should absolutely watch it.

Don’t leave out Met Rock 2015. It’s a shorter festival performance but it was so on point and the audience is amazing.

NoTime4Dudes

Excellent, that was fun. As for previous concerts, Red Night of course since it was the first of these two concerts and they are tied, but you do need to go back. Their first 'LEGEND' concerts, while still a sub-unit of Sakura Gakuin, so their preparation to separating to become an independent band all three of Legend I (also the debut of the Kami Band who came on for the encores for the very first time), Legend D (Su-metal's 15th birthday) and Legend Z (the last show before Su graduated from Sakura Gakuin and took BABYMETAL with her). Also Legend 1999, the first Legend as an independent band celebrating Yui's and Moa's 14th birthdays and Legend 1997, Su-metal's 16th birthday and the last time the Kami Band only played the encores. The song you had not heard before was 'Kimi To Anime Ga Mitai' - it is not on any of their albums, it was on an EP released in collaboration with a pop-punk (I think) band called Kiba of Akiba. BABYMETAL covered their song, Kiba of Akiba covered 'Doki Doki Morning'. 'Kim To Anime Ga Mitai' is the only cover BABYMETAL have played multiple times (about 25 I think).

I agree, pretty sure all other “Su screams” are lip-synced. I think it makes sense, to protect her chords. After-all, her mainstay is her clean vocals. But I could be wrong.

Ganimal

Awesome! Been waiting for another concert reaction! 100% agree with other commenters: Legend 1997 (Dec 2013) is a must. Legend I, D, Z are great too, but not as polished in production, but still good to see. I know I wrote this in past messages but the following would be, in my opinion, the best shows to accompany respective albums: 1st album - Babymetal: Legend 1997 Budokan Black Night 2nd album - Metal Resistance: Wembley 2016 Tokyo Dome (Red Night and Black Night) 3rd Album - Metal Galaxy: Legend - M (2019) Legend Metal Galaxy (2020) 4th Album: Babymetal Begins both nights (which you already done). Finally, for funsies, here is Babymetal very first live debut, as heavy music club of Sakura Gakuin in Nov 2010: https://youtu.be/lN-RlqEHFIk?si=JZTehxudvA59mEWX See you on the next one!

Ganimal

I think the consensus is the only time Su is probably really screaming is in Headbanger. But it remains a controversial topic.

Jim Nusbaum

The Budokan shows (2014 and 2021) are all epic but I prefer the venues where there are circle pits and more audience movement.

Jim Nusbaum

Legend 1997 for sure, MetRock 2015 for a Japanese festival experience. Then depending on your stamina if you want to go back to the first big Japanese concert(s) I think that would be Legend IDZ I think. You did the 2015 show that RoR is from already.

Jim Nusbaum

This is already in 2014, they had performed a few big shows already. I would say you definitely need to check at least Legend 1997 from 2013 before moving on (that's "that freaking concert" ;-) ).
