    Excellent double reaction, thanks! Appreciate the choreo. 😁
    "Megitsune" is one of their most loved songs and their most played live one: 382 times… and counting!
    It was released in June 2013. Su-metal was 15 years old while Yuimetal and Moametal were both 13 (about to turn 14) back then.
    The style sub-genre is electronicore, a mix between electronica and metalcore with a hardcore style breakdown.
    That breakdown hits hard and (apart of those pig squeals) the melody is from a well known Japanese folk song called "Sakura Sakura" (Cherry Blossoms).
    The word "Megitsune" = "me" + "kitsune" which means female + fox so, vixen. Hence the "kitsune" masks everywhere.
    In Japanese folklore, the "kitsune" is an entity capable to transfigure into a human form (mainly into a young lady) with the objective to deceive men and cause them pain. So, they sing that they aren't "kitsunes" but "megitsunes", "pure-hearted maiden-like female foxes", as the lyrics say. It's basically a women empowerment song.
    BABYMETAL fans are known collectively as "The ONE" and "kitsune" / "megitsune" individually. So, you can tell this song is important!
    And this is why we always put this emoji: 🦊

    It was composed by Norikazu Nakayama (aka Norimetal). He's involved in some way in almost all my favorite BABYMETAL songs. And that can't be a coincidence.
    It took 36 demos to Takehiro Mamiya best known as Yuyoyuppe (or Yuppemetal), the song's arranger, until Kobametal (their producer) was 100% happy with the final result. It may sound crazy but this is why "Megitsune" is one of their best songs (if not the best).

    In my opinion, the music video is a masterpiece.
    When Su pulls out the "tanto" (short blade) she says: "Otome wa… nametara ikan zeyo" ("Maidens… shouldn't be underestimated").
    It's also a line said by a gangster's daughter in the film 'Kiryu-in Hanako no Shogai' (1982), released outside Japan as 'Onimasa'.
    Yui and Moa were playing some traditional games: the marbles game is called "Ohajiki" (おはじき). They also play "Otedama" (お手玉).
    About its locations, they have become pilgrimage destinations for fans around the world:
    – The stage where they are performing is called Nohgakudo (Noh theater) at Asagaya Shinmeigu Shrine in Tokyo. This is a stage where music and dances are performed during festivals.
    – The shrine right before the breakdown with the orange-ish torii gates is the famous Fushimi Inari-taisha in Kyoto. The girls were so happy that the director traveled to Kyoto just to film that sequence.
    I am lucky enough to have visited both locations during my trip to Japan (among other incredible places) last year.

    The live version from BABYMETAL Begins – The Other ONE – Black night (performed at PIA Arena MM on April 1st 2023) is one of their best. Just because that tasty triple solo: both guitars and also the bass. I'm so glad you noticed it. I also like the Legend-MM version with Momometal already miked and showing Moametal's (usual) shenanigans during the kitsune mask scene. 😁
    🤘🦊

    Great double reaction – and good job with the choreo.🦊 'Megitsune' is a big fan favourite, often coming top in fan polls and it is the song they have played live more times than any other. It is also arguably the song that showcases better than most what BABYMETAL are about and one that truly reflects their Japanese culture the best starting with the traditional instruments (shamisen or koto, you decide which) in the intro and the lyrics about women being compared to foxes (kitsune – which also explains all the fox masks in the video) which, in Japanese mythology, are able to shape shift and take human form in order to deceive.

    It is also a bit of a push back against the traditional subservient female role in Japanese society, saying that is changing I think – or maybe it is – whilst also praising and celebrating the women who have played that role over the years for their strength.

    They are saying that women wearing their make up and hiding their true feelings ("crying at heart, smiling at face") are not trying to deceive anybody, they are simply trying to please everybody – so they are not deceptive kitsune (foxes), they are pure hearted megitsune (female foxes or vixens) – and they are strong.

    The melody used in the breakdown in the middle of the song with the pig squeals (as you saw they also use it as the intro when they play it live) is from the very well known Japanese folk song called 'Sakura Sakura' (Cherry Blossoms).

    When Su pulled out the tanto (short blade) from her microphone she said "Otome wa … nametara ikan zeyo." (Maidens … shouldn't be underestimated). The last part of this is a famous quote from a Japanese gangster movie said by the daughter of a gang boss.

    Much of the video was shot on location at the Asagaya Shinmei Shrine in Tokyo. This has become a place of pilgrimage for BABYMETAL fans visiting Tokyo. The guys at the back waving the traditional instruments about were dancers with the lady who did the fan dance's troupe.
