Baby Metal - Megitsune (Female Fox)

Most university students today cannot live without the internet, so do I. But what do we do on internet for the whole day staring at the screen? (doing assignment is a lie, hahaha) For me there are a few main websites that I will constantly visit every single day. Facebook, Gmail, my personal blogs and last but not least, Youtube. Youtube is a place full of interesting videos ranged from comedy to some serious documentary. One day when I browsed through the channel TheFineBros for something new to watch (they always make reaction videos regarding viral videos on Youtube). So far they have never failed to indirectly recommend viral videos that I did not explore yet. And that's where I discovered Baby Metal.

I agree that music is a universal language that everyone can enjoy. Maybe that is the reason I like Japanese music such as Joe Hisaishi's which are really soothing or anime theme songs which are very motivating although I might not understand a single word from the lyrics. Of course after checking the lyrics translation the whole songs sound perfect to me! I have never thought that I would fall in love with heavy metal which is usually noisy and annoying to me. But not this one! Although some people commented that Baby Metal is just a candy-coated heavy metal which should not be considered as heavy metal, who cares? I just love it!

One of the live performances in Singapore!

Baby Metal consists of three Japanese cute girls who are younger than 20 years old! You will be amazed by their performance, the way they dance and jump 'forcefully' as if there is an energy boost. Besides their sweet voices, they look so adorable that they melted my heart (hahahahaha, it's true!). There are not many songs that they sing for now but I love all of them (still don't understand the lyrics though)! I have to recommend this song named Megitsune, means female fox in English. The music, the lyrics and the girls, all of them are so perfect in this music video. Check it out!


Female foxes
Go! - Go! - Go! - Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! - Go! - Go! - Go! Go! Go! Go!
Dressed-up Miss Fox
[Check it! Cheer up! Check it! Cheer up!]
waves her twin ponytails in the air.
[Fluttering! Cheer up! Fluttering! Cheer up!]
She pops and vanishes.
[Whirling! Cheer up! Whirling! Cheer up!]
Let her show her various aspects!
[Kon kon kon ko, kon kon ko kon!]
Go! - Go! - Go! - Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! - Go! - Go! - Go! Go! Go! Go!
Ancient maidens,
you dance in the transient dream.
Getting over thousands years,
you live today.
Ah, it's right. Always women are actresses.
We're not foxes, not deceiving,
but maiden-like female foxes.
Ah, girls are becoming more like an ideal woman.
Smiling at face, crying at heart,
saying "It's right", we never show our tears.
A fox, a fox, I'm a female fox.
Women are actresses.
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! - Go! - Go! - Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! - Go! - Go! - Go! Go! Go! Go!
Ancient maidens,
you sing in the transient dream.
Getting over thousands years,
you live inside us.
Ah, it's right. Always women are actresses.
We're not foxes, not deceiving.
Maidens...
... shouldn't be underestimated.
Ah, girls are becoming more like an ideal woman.
Continuously, to keep blazing,
we shoot up the fireworks.
Ah, blooming and falling is the fate for a woman.
Smiling at face, crying at heart,
we're pure-hearted maiden-like female foxes.
Ah...
