I just can't get enough of them ever since I first heard them a few months ago. I don't think this is their best, but it's still awesome and is getting views much more quickly than their previous videos (over 200k in 10 days; their last one has about 850k in 8 months).
Scrolling through the comments, I'm glad I gave up commenting on YouTube years ago.

Musically this is AWESOME, but the vocals take away from that for me.
YouTube comments are just a haven for stupidity, from what I've seen. I now make a point not to read them, except on videos where I know it will be worthwhile.

The vocals taking it away from you is totally understandable : P

I love Babymetal. They are so different in the Japanese idol scene and the lead singer actually has a pretty good voice for a J-pop idol. I think in a few years when she's older she'll be very good. I wish it was just a solo project though. I really don't like the other two girls who really only say those annoying one or two syllable words every now and then. This song is good, but it's got nothing on "Ijime, Dame, Zettai".

Wow, that was seriously awesome!!! I didn't know about this group. Is it a group? Or just a solo singer with two main dancers? I always root for the underdogs, so after reading Dance Or Die's comment, I feel bad for them. Maybe they are full members that get shafted all the time lol
I will be downloading some Babymetal stuff now, thanks! <3

Yeah, they're a group. A spinoff of Sakura Gakuin (though I've never listened to them). The two other girls are two years younger, so maybe when they get older and can sing better it'll be more of a three-person thing. But I think the way they do it now is just fine. The older one, Suzuka, is "graduated" Sakura Gakuin now but is still staying with Babymetal.
Alot of idol groups have a designated leader (for whatever reason), and in Babymetal, it's Suzuka.
DOD, I love the two extra girls adding in those vocals when they do, haha. It just gives the songs some more PUNCH.

Ahh thanks for the info Nick! <3 I just got all their singles, and they are fantastic!!!!! Also, got the latest Sakura Gakuin album, which might be something completely opposite, but you know... yeah I hope they allow the other two girls to sing more before Suzuka leaves or something, cause it would be a completely different monster without ehr doing most of the vocals. And jajajja yes, the two girls' random vocals really do give more punch to the songs! ajjajaja

They have the catchiest part of the song Still, I want them to at least sing a couple lines so I can hear how they actually sing. Suzuka already graduated from Sakura Gakuin so her time in Babymetal may be over within the next few years even though she's staying with them for now. I personally don't care for Sakura Gakuin because they are way too 'idol' for me lol. I've only heard some of their singles though so there could be some hidden gems in their discography.

Well, in one of the b-sides for Megitsune, the song Onedari Daisakusen, I THINK that's not Suzuka, so if not her, then Yui and Moa! <3 But my hearing sucks so I could be wrong lol I think that now that Suzuka graduated from Sakura Gakuin, while she is very talented, she might not have other options for now, so I would think she is with BABYMETAL for a long while. I love her voice! I also didn't care for Sakura Gakuin, or any of the other sub units lol BABYMETAL is the future of music!!!! <333333333 jajajajaja

Onedari Daisakusen is indeed by Yui & Moa. It's such a odd track but really cool at the same time. I hope they have Yui & Moa do something like that in the main single someday. I'm also thinking that Suzuka will stay for awhile now. Apparently, in Sakura Gakuin, members have to leave the group once they graduate from middle school. That's why Suzuka left the group. I had thought that she had made the decision herself to leave Sakura Gakuin so I was thinking her days in BabyMetal were numbered. Now I'm sure she'll be there until the group splits up.

I was checking rateyourmusic.com and Ijime, Dame, Zettai is ranked like the 110th best single of this year! Seeing the competition, this seems like a huge accomplishment! Looks like people are noticing them. Yeah! I'd love for Yui and Moa to share the lead vocal in one single. They are so cute, especially Yui <33333 And have you noticed how small they are? I mean, they're like 2 years younegr than Suzuka, yet they look so small <3 And how awesome is that?? If they release an album by the end of the year, I might get it for Christmas! Hopefully an overseas version will be released. Anyway, yes, Suzuka is with BABYMETAL for the long haul I keep listening to their songs and keep rocking to them. Best discovery of the year so far for me

It actually doesn't surprise me at all that BabyMetal gets noticed on Rate Your Music. That site seems really full of metal lovers to me and they probably get confused when seeing what BabyMetal is and check them out. Yui & Moa are adorable. I might not quite care for their vocals, but it's hard to dislike them when you look at them xD I'd love if BabyMetal released an album soon. The unfortunate thing though with Japanese releases is that they don't put the B-sides of singles on albums and the CDs themselves are incredibly expensive unless there's an international pressing. I'm a CD collector so being into Japanese music is a little annoying because I have to buy like all the different versions of singles that have different songs and the albums & it gets to be a really expensive hobby I like CDJapan though to get Japanese pressings because they have a rewards system where whenever you buy stuff you can get discounts for future orders.

Ugh, sorry for the late reply! That's true, bsides get only released on singles. But as a mainly downloader, it suits me fine, there are no repeats in albums I have honestly only bought two asian items before, "12, Smart" and "13 Colorful Character" albums by Morning Musume. They were through Yesasia, cause the order was over 40 bucks, so the shipping was free <3 Wow, such an expensive hobby you have! If only because of beauty reasons, I would (if I had the money) buy those boxsets Momusu have been releasing of their recent singles <3

They are way too expensive for me though lol. If only they sold them in other countries besides Japan....they be much cheaper haha. My hobby does get to be really expensive xD I have a list of groups that I'll buy stuff from when it comes out, but for everyone else I get stuff rarely cause I can't afford it xD

You must be new to looking at Blu Rays from Japan, X. Here's a brief lesson:
Pretty much the only people who buy them in Japan are collectors, because everyone else can watch them much cheaper through some other means (TV, legal streaming, etc). So companies can charge this price, and they know the collectors will buy them up.
It sucks. Just one or two anime episodes can cost $70 on a Blu Ray, and my favourite series (24 episodes + 1 movie) costs $700 on Blu Ray! Sucks for us.

Oh my!!! jaajjajaja, after reading that, i think this blu ray is kinda on the cheap side lol!! I hope, for the sake of buyers', that it comes in boxed set form and it has tons of artwork and some random additional items or content. I was hoping for some album release by the end of the year, but if this is it, I pass
