Thank you for all the explanations and the nice comments 🙏😊

Good reaction. The Legend Metal Galaxy shows were at Makuhari Messe in Tokyo (I believe) early in 2020, that was the stage with Joakim Broden (he is vocalist with Swedish metal band Sabaton) on the huge screen behind them.
The stage in the centre of the arena with the screens above was the Budokan in Tokyo - a martial arts arena originally built for the 1964 Olympics and now also a very prestigious venue for concerts.

BABYMETAL first appeared at the Budokan in March 2014 when they became the youngest average age female band to headline (they sold it out 2 nights running as they released their first album).
In the first two or three months or so of 2021 they held 10 concerts at the Budokan as part of their 10th anniversary celebrations - those were the most recent live shows they did before announcing they would be taking a break while live concerts are not possible ... we wait for the seal to be broken, hopefully in the not too distant future.

'Oh! Majinai' is another of their fun songs and seems to draw on several different European influences, not least the melody isn't dissimilar to a Finnish polka, the choreo seems to borrow elements from Irish and Russian or other east European dance.

Close!! Finland is where that first diddy was from...a Finnish Folk song called "Ievan Polkka"!!

And the hand gesture is their signature sign called the 'Kitsune' or Fox Sign..its just a shadow puppet of a fox that the girls kept making by mistake when they were first shown how to make the Rock Hands/Devil Horns gesture, so they kept it and worked up a whole LORE around the "Fox God"..LoL..they were only 11yr and 12yr old at the time back in 2010!!

More Babymetal Always!!


Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!

Nice one, thanks!
This is Su-metal's favorite song from their third album "Metal Galaxy"
The "Legend Metal Galaxy" concerts were held at the Makuhari Messe convention center in Mihama-ku ward of Chiba city, Chiba prefecture, Greater Tokyo... Japan :)
The Nippon Budokan arena is located in Chiyoda district, Tokyo.

I love the moment of my lovely, Moa's facial expression at 2:05, 'Save me, please ', haha. Thank you from Japan.

Joakim Brodén definitely has a sense of humor.
In Sabaton, most of his songs are about war and destruction.
This was definitely something different. : )
Sabaton opened for BABYMETAL in Japan in October 2018 for a few arena concerts.
It was around that time that Joakim went into a studio in Osaka to record his tracks for 'Oh! MAJINAI'.
They kept making him repeat this song, over and over, with more and more intensity. : )
The song came out on the Metal Galaxy album a year later.
Su has said this is her favorite from the new album, and she was looking forward to people seeing it.
She does seem to have a fondness for the Folk Metal songs. 'Meta Taro' was one of her favorites on 'Metal Resistance'.

Thank you for your reaction !
Joakim is the lead singer of the metal band Sabaton. You should check them out.
It's compilation based on 2 Japan shows (that were mentioned in the description).
Part of the song and dance incorporates: Irish, Northern European and Russian traditional music/dance.
The sign they make is the 'Fox sign', metal bands usually use the 'sign of the horns'.
Babymetal has the lore that the Fox God is a metal god and has selected Babymetal to help make Metal more popular again.
So the Fox Sign is the honor their deity.
If you react to the video on Youtube: BABYMETAL ' KARATE ' (Download Festival 2016)
You can get a quick introduction to Babymetal and their sign.

Great reaction. BabyMetal has so much to see. Yes LIVE is the way to see them (as only the most talented bands can say).

Suggestion for BabyMetal reaction:

Megitsune LIVE


Just one of sooo many. Welcome to the world of BabyMetal and I hope that you enjoy the ride.

You where definitely getting into that and it is a song that gets in your head 🤘🦊🤘😁

Nice reaction. Babymetal doing the fun stuff. Su gets a chance to dance a lot for this song. A lot of the end lyrics seem to be Joakim and Moa singing. I think that's why Su likes this song so much. Most of the end of the song She's not singing. And Moa is getting a workout dancing and singing. They use a similar song ending format for Night Night Burn. The song sounds completely different of course. Night Night Burn has a latin flavor to it. As Babymetal toured the galaxy they stopped in the Caribbean. Why not the lyrics for Oh! Majinai say they got lost and made a wish to find their way. They seemed to have found many places on this trip. Enjoy the rest of your journey into the Babymetal galaxy of music.

Nice & thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 "Oh! Majinai" was performed in all shows of BM's 2020 Europe tour (including Hamburg, Berlin and Cologne). This song is a little bit controversial. Many European fans are claiming the origin of this song. Irish, Russian, Swedish, Polish, Czech and Finnish. From a neutral position as a Japanese, I can say this is Europe-ish 🤔 .
BABYMETAL is the only one band who can employ Joakim, a muscular metal guy, as a comical character in a playful song. After the world premiere of this song on Jan. 25, 2020 (I was there !), Su and Moa complained jokingly that every audience did not see the girls dancing but watched gigantic Joakim on the backdrop 😄 .
"Oh! Majinai" has dual meanings. Japanese word "omajinai" simply means a good luck charm or magical spell. But if you separate the word into two parts you will find different meaning. "Maji nai" means "seriously impossible" or "absolutely no"
