The guitarist Mikio Fujioka then performed recently died.

Cry Babies which one is mikio?

the lowest one with a black guitar, playing solo.

You comment here a lot, huh?

Colbert is one of the enemy. It is simply ironic that he got Babymetal on his show.

@@wave8359 Indeed

@@wave8359 What did he do?

@@wave8359 Indeed!

The Fox God, as revealed to KOBAMETAL, is a genius! BABYMETAL RULES!

ChrisBrengel hell yeah dude.

That’s what I kept thinking too! I kept imagining some old conservative going into cardiac arrest. 😂

I could imagine that because I'm sure most of us had that same WTF moment when first seeing and hearing them. I grown to love them by the end of the first song I heard.

The crowd went ape-shit when Colbert introduced them. I think it's safe to say they had a lot of fans in the audience.

zJoriz he he'd never seen them before the show.

He was making a joke..

shallowlord the first three rows were mostly BM fans that waited all day to be up front. Prior to the taping, as the band went onstage, we were yelling our heads off. Babymetal and the band were receiving louder applause than any of the other scheduled guests, BEFORE they even went on... I think he might have been eluding to that. This 'obscure band from Japan' shows up, and the audience was screaming and cheering this 'unknown' act

+ZjORIZ LMAO!

i gotta admit.... once you fall into that babymetal youtube rabbit hole... you're going to be down there for a very long time. i'm not sure how many times i've actually seen that live version of road to resistance, or even that new joint elevator girl in nashville..... or that epic live mashup of catch me if you can? you get the idea...

Stage right, audience left.

@@johnschultz7765 Thanks that's what I came in here to say

Completely ignores Colbert xD

yes

​@@johnschultz7765 I'm pretty sure they left stage right lol

I noticed his beautiful smile on the first Baby Metal show I saw .

same.

😢😢

What about super bowl 51?

Nah

2ND Down from The Beatles debut , Feb 9, 1964

I agree, we need more of this

Oh absolutely

It totally was. I was in awe and bewilderment.

haha, this was amazing, too bad it was when colberts ratings were in the shitter.

Even for Japan this is pretty abnormal :p

@@NneonNTJ nope. It is very Japanese.

@@DJGeorgeDisco Nope, not at all :p

I think my reply comes too late, but DO IT! :-)

@@talaniel it is very late lol

That's awesome! I hope I can meet a girl who is a fan of this band like I am and would go to their shows together with me.

so... how's that going, sir?

do it!now,yestreday...!

I agree love the smile on the guitarists face. If I were in this band I'd be smiling from ear to ear. Its so much fun to watch and listen to, it must be great to play in the band.

that's actually what i love the most. you get the sense that the kami band GENUINELY LOVE to be there!!! i know these guys have been in some really hardcore metal outfits all their lives, have mastered their instrument and gained the respect of metalheads all over the world... and for them to just go out, play this poppy metal and just have fun with it? cmon!!! i know metal is a "super tough," "i'll fucking kill you" type music that demands authenticity.... but if you can't just go out and have some fun? it's sad... every live song i've ever seen performed by the kami band... you can tell that they're just having a blast!!! embracing the whole silly thing... and it's a fun sight to see. RIP Fujioka San..... :,( ....i know he's somewhere out there smiling down on these girls as they continue to grow, proud of his bandmates for helping them become one of the biggest bands in the world.

It is also a trick musicians use to keep the rhythm. Sometimes in other videos, you can see Moa or Yui doing the same to keep their routines on time. But the expression on his face does show he loves the music.

The bass player too

@@Darylrb1983 BOH!!!

You never know when live musical performances are just lip/motion synced to the pre-recorded track. It happens a lot on shows like America's Got Talent. You aren't actually hearing live music.

@@tap836 Well Babymetal sings live no matter what.

Vocals here are clearly dubbed. There're parts where there're multiple levels of vocals but only one girl singing. The instruments also seem dubbed because the guitarists fingers don't line up with the audio of the solo.

Babymetal goes by the motto "Don't settle for cheap imitations, get the genuine article".

@@ClaudiusPtolemy It's live. The guitarist is playing exactly what is heard, maybe you have lag on your end. There are definitely pre-recorded guide vocals being cut into the live mix (both lead and background) along with the live vocals. This is common for US late night TV musical performances. Also, these shows usually employ great live sound engineers and state of the art mixing equipment to ensure what the home viewer is watching sounds as close to an actual studio recording as possible.

Yeah then his look. like wut the. then claps and looks up. funny

I know, would have loved to see a few more seconds of his reaction.

Because they know they are better than some random late nigh show in USA.

Colbert's expression at 4:12 is AWESOME! You know he's thinking "WTF was that?!?"

Derek Armsden ha the see you then walk off stage in unison. someone made a video of just their see you's lol

I can assure you a fellow fan named Brian still talks about this show. So not to worry, they are aware.

Excited for what comes next?? Just Yui wait, hehehe.... Best! ~Yui Metal

Good point! It is cool seeing them all and seeing all of the dance

Back when the Kami Band were allowed to have a personality. I miss those days.

The fact that they’re wearing kyokatabira makes it even more metal. For the westerners, I’m talking about the white clothes they have on, which are traditional Japanese clothes you put on corpses before burial or cremation.

Saud Alsanad I know what you mean! I tear up every time I watch them.....either you get it or you don’t......

You should see them strut their stuff on a big stage!

Japan has no shortage of surreal/absurd artists.

Then you haven't seen Finnish hard rock band Lordi! my mind was blown more than Hiroshima.

+Yukiko Asakura - >>my mind was blown more than Hiroshima.

Check out Gwar. Or Gorgoroth Or any other Black Metal Band

@@AsakuraYukiko And the award for the most inappropriate joke goes to you.

Yeah, darn, darn.

Ash Kresnik also the guitarrist on the left smiles a lot

Ash Kresnik lol I was like "wow the drummer is having a fun time"

You must to see Boh, the bassist in Karate Live UK Download. Rocking and jumping as high as the girls.

Mikio is always smiling like he's really enjoying it in every thing i've seen.

You can never doubt that everyone on stage is having the time of their lives every second they're performing. I need to see them live.

A lot of him saying that had to do with us. Duro.g the commercial break, as they were serring up, we kept yeloi g and screaming, and calling out Ohmura, Mikio, Boh, and Hideki as they came out to soundcheck. When the three girls came out to take their places, we all obviously went berserk. So here waa as this, "obscure Japanese band, that had the first three rows screaming like crazy BEFORE they even started. I'm sure Steven had no idea why.

@Ray B after they said 'See you, ' and walked offstage, we started chanting "One more Song!" He looked confused as hell

Anthony Falante im in my 30s and feel no shame

Trailing close behind you, mate. :) Awesome has no age.

I'm 34 and I think they are awesome! Music has no age.

No ! No ! It is not guilty. BABYMETAL is the mixture of IDOL and METAL. You didn't know the IDOL. It is to be loved by everyone. BABYMETAL is so cute and brutal. You may call 3 angels name, and of course shout "I love BABYMETAL!!". It is the IDOL.

I am 50 and have been enjoying Babymetal shame-free for the last 4 years.

i agree who thought metal and j- pop would work what will the Japanese thing of next love this band

Guy Fawkes how is this good metal? You can't understand what they say unless you're a web.

Guy Fawkes weeb*

Yup. The band fucking shreds and although the whole group might seem odd or different its miles better than all of that shitty guttural vox static sounding garbage people call metal these days.

Anonymous It's FAR easier to "understand the lyrics" of a band like Baby Metal than many other groups. And what difference, ultimately, does it make? I'm in my 50s, no "Weeb", just a music fan who's probably heard a vastly larger amount of different music than you have. This band is GREAT. Deal with it.

maybe babymetal brought their tech team too.

+Okik E. yeah they usually do. and usually sounds good live. just bad on TV..

Vocals could have been ever so slightly louder in the mix, but overall it was pretty damn good compared to what you usually get on talk shows

Vocally they were slightly lower than usual. But, I thought the Kami band was ripping and the mix created a very energetic performance.

Koba would not let these peasants meddle with his band. I bet he brought his own team and was overseeing everything they did to make sure they did it right.

Lol what!?

@@OTDECK Bruh they're like 16-17 here and look Yui/Moa look like 13-14. You got something you wanna confess to us bro?

@UC98nKE4XdOrM9eUi1Nt8HAA fucking weirdo?? u just like children

Dude, give me a break! Stupid millennials.

@@JohnTCampbell1986 what did they say

There's a UKposts video of them doing Road to Resistance to a Japanese audience when Suzuka was 16 (IIRC). Several thousand people and she had them all in the palm of her hand. Amazing talent. Amazingly strong voice for someone so young.

That's Ohmura Takayoshi, he rules.

Yeah we just melted your face off for 4 minutes. Wasn't that fun! :D

LMAO!!!

Favorite member of the group. Extremely talented and a lot of fun to watch.

***** I wholeheartedly second that!

***** BOH could easily be the lead guitarist of most groups with his immense talent. He chose bass, and that is why he is The God of the Bass.

And dance. We cannot forget what a great dancer BOH is. I'm always watching him in the background and he's a riot the way he carries on.

The guys who actually play the instruments rock pretty hard as well don't you think? ;)

Kami band rocks!

Yeah i wish that they would put Volbeat on aswell

Boy, do they ever! The super ladies up front are very talented window dressing.

+Robs01 - The girls were already performing as Babymetal for 3 years before the Kami Band was brought in to give the girls street cred after their first singles topped the Japanese Indie chart and early live shows (with skeletons miming playing) sold out. They _earned the right_ to have such awesome musicians backing them.

Theres a really cute video, like a ten second clip from a live show, when one of the girls is facing the drummer for her choreography he is making silly faces at her like he's trying to make her laugh. All those guys have been in showbiz forever its really cool to see how they've taken the girls under their wing.

@@Hoobyj can u find that clip?

@@dawg153 ukposts.info/have/v-deo/bYKQZJqir2ul2J8.html i was thinking of the parts near 40 mark when i said 20 seconds xD

That is BOH. He has said in interviews past that he loves playing with Babymetal and goes out of his way to accept Babymetal contracts. He is the kamiband member with the most performances with Babymetal, over 200. Although extremely versatile, his preferred music genre seems to be jazz/fusion.

That's Bohte 'Boh' Daisuke, he's amazing.

ikr! that is one of the best things about this band - you forget all your troubles while listening/watching them singing and dancing :')

How do you NOT like this, really?

right,,, its just too much fun...

same here!!!!!! that''s why I love babymetal. they are bring a happiness

chrisjamesr77 Same with me man. I just get happy seeing them smile and having fun while performing some cute metal music. They just make me feel happy.

Figure you'll listen to more of their music?

Think Dragonforce with girls.

They are better than Dragonforce . At least she can sing well

Nicholas Brown HA!!!! Nice!

It's the true beauty of this band. I can't get into some music, but holy shit, this is epic-ly awesome!

Truth

Rob Harwood that end was adorable as hell

Why were they hanging around your daughter?

japanophile…

Those people are the typical "judging by cover" people. I will never understand how can people judge music and genre by the look of members and their outfit... This band is high level metal with a trio of girls in the front. It is almost like they would say metal is not metal with female singers...

I think "true" metal is not afraid of change - just look at the history of metal - full of changes, this is just another chapter.

How's your family member now? I bet he loves them now they've been releasing banger after banger albums metal galaxy was a beast.

@@justicedemocrat9357 No, he's still a stuck-up old fart! ;P

When you have metal icons like Rob Halford of Judas Priest performing with them, you GOT to know Babymetal is getting up there with the metal greats

brian peters ; your lucky guy :)

Lucky bastard🤘

He thinks it takes attention from the girls

@Yourtube And they destroyed the postage stamp ! :-)

I couldn't agree more. Not having the Japanese Kami's is the beginning of the end. These guys were not just the most superb musicians, they were the ultimate "cheerleaders" for the girls always smiling and getting the audience involved and riled up. They were there from the beginning and basically saw the girls as their children. There is no replacing them.

@@mudshark351 All true. Except for the "beginning of the end" part.

@@mudshark351 i heard they weren't playing with BabyMetal on their last tours because they were busy with other projects.

Nicholas Rivera "I'm not a huge fan of Metal" that's your answer right there. That's why you think they rock, while I think this is a minstrel show.

I don't hate the girls, but I do believe there's a special place in hell for the soulless producers behind things like this.

Only from Japan!

TheDude it's pretty obvious you know nothing of metal

@John Olive: I listen to a shit ton of metal, and still think Baby Metal is rad as fuck. Don't be an elitist just because they're a fusion metal band, thinking that somehow makes them inferior.
