Welcome back.🦊This was the song we got on the international release of Metal Resistance where the Japanese release had 'Syncopation' instead.
They had only ever played FDTD live once, at the Hollywood Palladium in 2017, but there was some sort of copyright issue with the pro-shot video so that has never been seen, there are only fancam videos for that performance.

When BABYMETAL were holding a ballot for the top 10 songs for their Top 10 album for the 10th anniversary in 2020 a fan campaign got FDTD voted in.  It was not on the album in the end, but they did at least play it live at two of the 10 Budokan concerts and we finally got this pro-shot video of a live performance to enjoy.

With so few live performances it does tend to get overlooked, which it shouldn't as it is such a great and haunting song and Su's vocals are incredible.

It is sung entirely in English, but the official lyrics were never published so the subtitles are a close approximation (there have been many attempts to work out what they are over the years, some better than others).

lol do not listen to people telling you not to pause. They’re the same people saying you didn’t react. They’re the same ones saying you talked through the part they wanted you to see. You can’t please them

Ijime Dame Zettai live at 2014 Sonosphere please! So awesome

Babymetal is the most beautiful and gorgeous girl band in Japan they rock and they are beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤

Welcome back!!!🤘🦊
FDTD is a really beautiful song. I was amazed at SU's singing skills!😱💖

Thanks from Japan 有難う💛。This song has been performed only 3 times to date. A limited number of fans who were at Hollywood Palladium on June 16, 2017 had been privileged to experience this song for 4 years. On February 16, 2021, when the intro started, everyone at Budokan (including me) was firstly shocked and gradually god excited understanding what was going to happen. At the end of the song, however, everyone got confused with what he / she witnessed because it was too surprising and mesmerizing. On the following day (Feb.17), the audiences came to the venue expecting the setlist would remain the same and FDTD would be played again. Once this song started many of them (including me) just stared at the stage without moving as if they were trying to burn the performance into their retinas. Su-Metal did it perfectly. "In the end ! (or In the air!)" Divine voice. And Moa and Momoko did perfect choreo like angels smoothly dancing around the goddess. Oh! I actually saw and listened to it twice for sure, but still "was it real?" (Even after reconfirmed it in Blu-ray video)

日本語ですみませんm(__)m
この曲は、日本発売版のアルバムには収録されておらず、海外版のみ収録されてる曲です
ですので、BABYMETALにしては珍しく、全編英語での歌詞になってます。
SU-METALの透き通った歌声と、彼女だからこそ出せる綺麗な高音と、幻想的な曲とが相まって、幻想的な曲となっており、現地でこの曲を生で聞いた時は、鳥肌が立ちました。

Nice reaction! FDTD is one of the underrated BABYMETAL songs, IMHO. Ignored, almost. But it is such a special song! In this performance it is even like a whole genre on its own. Its a wonderful composition, wandering all over the place, but not staying in one or two genres, one can´t fix it to the one or two genres of the many things it covers. And Su-Metal singing it? Like Moametal once said in an interview, when Su-Metal sings, it is like an angel descended to planet Earth and started to sing...

Not many people know that there are no official lyrics for this one, too. All lyrics are made by fans, analyzing it to the best of their abilities in order to find out what exactly Su-Metal is singing. There is a still ongoing debate (including a slightly satiric, and very funny, caricature), if she sings "In the air!" or "in the end!", when she started to belt it out after the falsetto part 🤣

I absolutely love this song!

Great reaction, thanks!
"FDTD" is considered a rarity for many reasons: style, vocals, language, song's release and live history, etc.
Regarding the musical style, this is a rare mix of dream trance with metal. Vocally, the song starts with some of Su-metal's falsetto as you perfectly noticed (not the first time we hear her using it). But it's even more impressive when she sings those crazy notes. Lyrics are fully in English and they only released it on the international version of the Metal Resistance album but not on the domestic (Japanese) version which includes "Syncopation" instead. The song premiered live in 2017 at Hollywood Palladium but they got some issues with the live footage (apparently regarding copyright, which is ironic) and it wasn't performed again until 2021at the Budokan (where this footage comes from).
I like pauses, rewinds and proper comments on reaction videos because... I watch reaction videos to see an actual reaction so, some pauses are needed.  😁
Until next time!
🤘🦊

Thank you for your great reaction. I think this is the most beautiful song along with Shine.

I love this song, the Erie mad descent from Dusk into the chaotic breakdown that is Midnight, then the crescendo snd breakthrough into Dawn. All accompanied by Su’s angelic vocals.

Just an epic experience all around!!

I was at the Hollywood Palladium in 2017 when this song had its live debut with Su, Moa and Yui.
More importantly, also in the audience that night were Su's Mom and Dad.   : )
However, I would have loved to see one of the two Budokan February 2021 performances.
They took it to a whole new level.
And Su's voice just gets better and better.

BABYMETAL are awesome.  This is one of their many excellent songs.

This song is definitely and will always be on my top 5 for babymetal.... When I had a friend listen to this, I had to point out to him that the high pitched sound he was hearing, it was the singer singing.....One reactor described this as Dream Metal....And after hearing it, I was looking all over for bands or groups that sound like this.... ethereal vocals combined with metal and electronic music....The light show on this stage is out of this world. 😁😁😁🤘🦊🤘

Of all of BABYMETAL songs, this song, to me, is unique. It is just so different. My soul feels this song.
Thank you for your reaction.
🤘🦊🤘

Like you, I fell in love with this song very quickly. There is a sense of sadness and loss of one's self in the beginning of the song. Then after the breakdown, it gives a joyful contemplation of hope that you can get through whatever you're feeling and a bright tomorrow is ahead. I think this was the only time the song was performed, and the fact that it was performed at Budokan is a testament to all they have achieved to perform at Budokan again. Loved your reaction, you hit it spot on for me.

❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘
