I caught this video before it got pulled. Great reaction/analysis, as usual. I had intended to post some comments the first time I watched it but it was taken down before I could do that. I will have to go back and watch it again before I make any comments on your reaction to the song. Besides a lot of what I had to say has already been covered by others.

I keep forgetting to comment until now. lol Loved the reaction. Thanks for posting it. I commented on something of your not too long ago about Discord. If you do join, here's an invite to the fan made/ran BM server. There's a dedicated reactions channel. There's many helpful people there to give solid advice about the best versions of songs and help with copyright issues and whatnot. A few of us have said you're one of the best reactors in quite some time. Here's a link if interested. If not, no worries. I'll keep supporting as long as I can either way.

Thanks for the reaction. Always very interesting and informative. The comment you made near the end of the 2nd version about when Su stopped singing…I’m not sure, but I assumed that the two other girls were singing that section ?

The three Western Kami guitarists (including Tustin) used to be the three guitarists in the band Galactic Empire. GE toured with Babymetal in Japan in 2017/2018 (I can't remember which year) and I think the two groups might have got along well. The drummer, Anthony Barone (formerly from the death core unit, Shadow of Intent) is a beast (who also has his own YouTube presence), and has a few really good videos of his playing style.
All four musicians are world class and must be getting paid a motza to sideline their other commitments to tour with Babymetal full-time.

Yeah it was the first video that got it. That makes sense, you can tell the bass player plays more like a guitarist, but I agree. Still very impressive that they would pick him over someone who specializes specifically on the bass.

very cool reaction. I think it might have been the first video that got this blocked, I was surprised to see it on YouTube when you uploaded it, Babymetal have some protected concerts or parts of concerts that they will just kill reactions for. Just my opinion, but I think it could be because they want to keep some songs as limited access on YouTube if the whole concert still sells well on DVD, or if some songs are special in some way, that drives sales of a particular concert dvd. I'm not 100% sure on this, but it makes sense in my head.
I agree about the bassist, I prefer BOH as their bassist, however the Western Kami bassist (Clint Tunstin) can be excused for not being as good as he is primarily a lead guitarist, not a bass player. It speaks volumes of his skill as a guitarist that he can hold down the bass position in this killer band when it's not his preferred axe. Clint has around 30 videos of him playing and I can't recall any of those videos feature him playing bass.
Keep the good stuff coming.
