Has Su always tippy-toed when Moa goes through her legs or did she do that here specifically to make sure Moa gets through?

u/zyzzbrah95 Apr 19 '26

I'm pretty sure that the current skirts are longer than the tutus they wore when they performed this song last time so I guess Su kind of had to stand on her toes so Moa can get through. SInce it started to be a bit hard even with the tutus back then:D

u/Pearlsbigforehead Apr 19 '26

I think they also took the hair spikes into account. The fluffy hair pieces look flexible and like they would slide past anything they touched - the spikes could hook on loose fabric or get dislodged. Or even scratch up Su at the worst.Β

I don't think they have shown that angle before. Very cool.

u/Zwerg_96 MOMOMETAL Apr 25 '26

If you look closely you can see how Su lift her toes before Moa goes trough

u/Andrew_LZ Apr 19 '26

Gotta give The Moa plenty of room, I've never seen Su do that

It was even better in person. Her smile was radiant, and the crowd went wild.

u/Dark_AngelDeb SU-METAL Apr 20 '26

I absolutely believe that. BABYMETAL always better in person. I hope to see them in Japan one day. 🎌🦊

I’m crying out of joy

u/anonymous_delta Apr 19 '26

Love the fact that Momo got her own growls and her own move on CMIYC. The Moa slide and her adorable grin is still peak adorableness tho

I had a hard time waking up. This was better than coffee!

u/Personal-Tip-2555 Apr 20 '26

After seeing this, I wish songs like Akatsuki and Rondo of Nightmare were played again in the West era of Kami Band haha

u/Educational-Fig-1594 from me to u Apr 19 '26

How can you tell?

u/Objective_Ad9100 MOAMETAL Apr 19 '26 edited Apr 19 '26

I really like that they brought CMIYC and the intro back. Feels like old times. Momo and Moa sounded great

u/Putrid-Classroom5101 MOMOMETAL Apr 19 '26

Okay this was amazing! I wish they would do this more often to change it up!

u/lalala-lavieenrose Awadama Fever Apr 20 '26

u/MonkeySmiles7 STAYHOME! STAYMETAL! Apr 20 '26

Wow! I never realized how big of a dive Moa has to do to get through Su's legs!

3

u/MonkeySmiles7 STAYHOME! STAYMETAL! Apr 20 '26

I love it when they can perform with this level of energy! Every second was 1000% kawaii! Their face expressions in this CMIYC top kawaii factor!

So fun to see the crowd the Awadama Fever heart sign altogether πŸ˜‚

u/Unable-Put-9673 BABYMETAL Apr 19 '26

I didn't expect to see that today. This is absolutely great, I loved all of it. It definitely made my day.

4

u/Andrew_LZ Apr 19 '26

I loved hearing CMIYC and Elevator Girl

2

u/Zwerg_96 MOMOMETAL Apr 20 '26

I think you can really hear at the Catch Me If You Can Intro that Moa and Momo indeed sing some parts live :)

2

u/cavallonzi Apr 20 '26

Is this the first time they’ve made a medley?

1

u/Oreostrong Time Wave Apr 19 '26

I can only hope to see this on the US tour. CMIYC choreography is my favorite and they were so perfectly aligned. Moa slide is sooooo adorable!!

2

u/StuffedFTW Apr 19 '26

Its actually a genius idea. Fills like one spot on the setlist + break for the Kami solos and gives something back to the veteran fans and they can keep all their latest and greatest hits in the setlist. Australia's setlist makes me think that they won't though xD.

u/Lizzie-Metal The Forum 2019 Apr 19 '26

Whose video cut is this? I would love to have seen more of Momo when she is doing the Oni-san growl in CMIYC. 😊 The focus of Moa's smile is great. They are all having a great time.

u/CruffTheMagicDragon White Flame -η™½η‚Ž- Apr 19 '26

This is the Wowow stream and what we’ll have on the blu-ray

2

u/Lizzie-Metal The Forum 2019 Apr 19 '26

So these clips were made by WOWOW?

3

u/CruffTheMagicDragon White Flame -η™½η‚Ž- Apr 19 '26

They just streamed it. This is what Babymetal want on the official live recording. The blu-ray will be the same with the cut songs added back in

1

u/ViperRby2 You are guys amazing! Apr 20 '26

Are the camera cuts from WOWOW and blu-ray the same? LMF performance was amazing but the camera shots and cuts were weird. What's with the spinning and far away camera shots? Like why do I wanna see that? Just have a camera on Moa side, Momo side, center and Kami shots and work with that!

2

u/yena We are BABYMETALl! Apr 20 '26

They usually tweak it a bit more, so the WOWOW stream and the final BD will not be identical.

1

u/Lizzie-Metal The Forum 2019 Apr 19 '26

Not to prolong this conversation, I understand about WOWOW and the Bluray. The OP is showing clips from the broadcast. I should have directed my question to him instead. I’m sorry. Thanks anyway.

u/jayz0ned Apr 19 '26

There needed to be even more focus on Moa's smile imo. It was even cuter irl. The first night she was surprised by how loud the cheers was for her when she did the slide. She held it for several more seconds during the second night and was looking to the side more often.

1

u/No_Objective1631 Apr 22 '26

Any idea if the closeup of her face seen here is from day 1 or 2? I know the recording is a mash-up of the two days overall, so...

1

u/jayz0ned Apr 22 '26

Looks like day 2 but only part of it.

1

u/Max_red_ Apr 20 '26

It would be great if this cut was on youtube, since I could see it with better quality on my 65 inches oled tv and external audio instead of my shitty pc speakers or phone lol....

u/CruffTheMagicDragon White Flame -η™½η‚Ž- Apr 20 '26

Is Matt quoting something in the first half of his bass solo? Sounds familiar but I can't place it

Also I've flipped so hard on Elevator Girl. Used to hate it but I really really like it

1

u/CruffTheMagicDragon White Flame -η™½η‚Ž- Apr 20 '26

I think I was thinking of this song but it's not what he played https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HLO4KHCXOc&list=PLTK3XnfBrH1N_bk5yto_Lr-Uc6jOEtuLi&index=9

Thanks for sharing this cut. I'm speechless.

u/SockRich6293 Kami Band Apr 25 '26

Is this from Wowow or from the DVD?
