Babymetal Akatsuki (Sumetal solo) Reaction

Comments

Su in her element ! I am so glad that they give her some opportunities to shine by herself. Every solo performance is top of the top and shows insistently the godgiven (and above that to perfection trained) talent and ingeniousness of our goddess of vocalism. This is for shure one of the best live performances of that song but for me personaly the unfinished version is much more affecting. Your reaction is so honest and heartily, I can only praise your empathy. 🦊🦊🦊 For the Fox-God 🦊🦊🦊

DYE BLOODY CRIMSON! 🔥🔥🔥

Spectre

You should 100% react to this. From my estimation the pause towards 2/3 thru when it slowed down was an ode to that (the original) performance. Highly recommend you find a video of the performance with subtitles.

Love this song. My favorite and probably most emotional live version of this song is Akatsuki Unfinished version from Legend 1997. You don't have to react to it, but for sure check it out. It is a really stripped down version that was performed right before Babymetal Death at the end of the show.

+1 to all 3, great suggestions, best venues for those. For Rondo of Nightmare, I would say Yokohama Arena 2015 (Final Chapter of the Trilogy concert) is best... but, this one will definitely not make YouTube, and I don't even think there is one up on YouTube to react to lol.

Nice one! Su-metal's 4 solos are somber, a bit darker/sad, and extremely epic. Yui & Moa's 4 duets (Black Babymetal) are ultra Kawaii + Ultra heavy. Easy way to figure out the "Eras": 2017: or earlier: Original trio with Yui 2018: "We don't know what's going on, cuz Yui hasn't left yet, but stopped performing, so here's a bunch of backup dancers" era - Outfits this year made Babymetal look like elves and carnies lol. 2019 + 2020: Avengers with Riho, Kano, and Momo rotating into 3rd spot. 2021: Momo is the only Avenger left. Apr 2023: Momo becomes official 3rd. Easy tell: No shiny bits on outfits - Momo is an avenger Shiny bits on the outfit - Momo is the official 3rd. They got the outfit upgrade with the translucent bits the day after Momo was announced.

The other Babymetal Su solo songs are: Rondo of Nightmare live at Budokan Black Night 2014, No rain no rainbow live at Legend S 2017 ( Su metal 20th birthday) and Amore live at Wembley 2016. These are the best version imo.

Great reaction, thank you! Akatsuki would be literally translated to "red moon" or "crimson moon". Those girls during the solo are known as "muscle metal" and were part of the choreography during the 2018 tour and made a special appearance here. In other live versions of this song you will see the guitarists out front doing their solos or even versions where Su literally fights a version of herself. (Here it is in case you're interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GH6p65C9WCE) If you do a reaction to the Legend 1997 concert in the future, you will even see another special, totally different version of this song.

The backup dancers are not Avengers. They were used during the 2018 tour, the Dark Carnival concert and these shows.
