If you haven’t decided on which Shine LIVE performance to react to I am including a link to the very first performance of the song with only Moa and Suzuka on stage (many believe that it is because as a tribute to Mikio they wanted the first performance to be personal with those who performed with him). Moa is “playing” an acoustic guitar at the beginning that may have one of Mikio’s (I say playing because supposedly it is a backtrack recording of her actually playing but she was too nervous to play it LIVE onstage as she wanted it to be perfect.

Yes sir. Oh the song is supposedly about a lover suspecting that her boyfriend is cheating on her. She is afraid that she might be going crazy but the clues are there and she is confronting him.

Good honest reaction. This is in my top 3 BabyMetal song list along with Brand New Day and Shine. But understand and appreciate your opinion.
Now about the performance. Moa did not leave, it was Yui (the avenger with Suzuka and Moa here was Riho). Most of this compilation was taken from the 2 day sold out D1 and D2 Metal Galaxy concerts from 2020. When you have concluded your BabyMetal journey you must watch the full concerts from both days as it is absolutely fantastic. It was in Japan and in certain song sets of the concert both Kami Bands and all of the Avengers were on stage performing at the same time (in this video it was the West Kami Band featuring world class musicians from the USA and Europe (3 of the musicians here were from the American band Galactic Empire).
Concerning both Kami Bands they have repeatedly stated that they are very grateful for the opportunity BabyMetal has given them as they have travelled the world and been part of a class act. They all love and respect the girls for their hard work, discipline and grounded humble nature. They admit without BabyMetal they would have never been able to experience what they have and are perfectly fine with their roles.
