Great reaction as always, thanks!
"Light and darkness" is way outside my alley musically and I admit it took me a few extra listens until it grew on me. But it eventually did and it was thanks to Su-metal's amazing vocals. Now, I enjoy it a lot and I hope to experience it live sometime... as it remains a rarity, having been performed live only three times. 🤞

Thank you for reacting to my favorite song!
Your reaction is correct!
There are ``studio recordings'' and ``live recordings'' of this song on YouTube, but the live recording you chose is absolutely and overwhelmingly better.
Maybe it's because I'm Japanese so I can understand the lyrics, but this song is filled with all the greatness of Su's vocals.
The song is sung beautifully, with strength, kindness, and emotion in each word.
It made me realize once again that she is a true vocalist.
I'm looking forward to your "love for BABYMETAL".

Great review as always Abi, this is one of my favourite songs off “the other one” album, everything in this song works beautifully and Suzuka’s powerful vocals enter my soul! I have loved this band for their individuality since 2013 and will find a gem for you to review! 👌🦊❤️

If you want Su to give you full body chills:
“Akatsuki” live at Budokan 2021
If you want to dance your ass off:
“Night Night Burn” live at Legend Metal Galaxy
Great reaction as always Abimetal!

Nice reaction! Remember that the PIA Arena show was divided into two nights. Black Night being the first day and with the black outfits, and the second day, called Clear Night, with the most recent outfits (with colorful details), and with Momo using the microphone for the first time as an official member (since she was announced as Momometal at the end of the Black Night).
From this same show, I recommend reacting to Metal Kingdom and Time Wave.

Every song from, "The Other One" is an absolute banger. Really love the more mature sound they put together there. The choreography and the light show for Light and Darkness is pure cinema.
Don't get sucked into the Yui versus Momo thing. Babymetal has always worked best as a trio, it's how they bring out the best in each other. Of course, we should never forget about the wonderful contributions that Yui made, but we shouldn't be stuck in the past and feel sad about her absence. Life forced her on another path and she chose to remain out of the public eye. During her time she was a gem that brightened everyone's lives. Now we have Momoko who is doing the exact same thing, ensuring that the trio is complete. There is no need to take sides. We can love all 4 of them. It'll be okay, I promise. We are The One, afterall.

Thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。 As you know, "Difference" and "Diversity" is another name of BABYMETAL. This song again conveys a totally new flavor to me, something like mixture of anxiety and its sublimation (towards good or bad).
In an interview, Su mentioned a dichotomy of BABYMETAL in this song. She said "I am not sure whether I am on the illuminant side or in the shadow. My perspective changes while singing." [source : Japanes magazine "PMC" page 42].
High and low undulation of Su's voice with maturity and sharp moves by Moa and Momoko brought about various emotions.
I witnessed this performance at the venue on Day-2 after Momo was inducted as the 3rd girl. In this sense, I had no anxiety about the 3-girl formation. The new and glaring era has begun and I was honored to be one of the audience on the day to commemorate. The audience there was, without doubt, basking in the light coming from 3 illuminants.

It took me some time to fully embrace this song because at first it sounded too J-Poppy for me, but now I absolutely enjoy especially those synth parts. 😊

Nice reaction Abi!💖This song has a lot of J-Pop vibe!🦊One of my favorite songs💕
If you need English subtitles, I recommend the "For The Fox God" channel as a Japanese person. I won't go into the reasons why, but there is a reason for the large number of subscribers to the channel.

Yeah Abi, is time to watch Akatisuki Budokan 21 to see Su melting hearts, if you can't get that one watch Akatisuki budokan 2014 when Su was only 16 and created perfection.

We get that you like Momo - which is great - but you also have to consider BABYMETAL has a long history and Momo was not an official member for most of it (joining fully in 2023, Avenger since 2019) - during the Avenger years she's rotating with other girls and when she is on stage for a proshot video like this the camera tends to focus more on Su & Moa as they are the official members at the time
Also the older era has much more of the Japanese kami-band (with their beautiful corpse paint you love so much haha 🦊) and the only way to see Mikio Fujioka performing
Just setting some realistic expectations here - you can't expect a Momo video for everything :)
Love Su's singing in this song - it pierces through my soul 🥰

This song is so artfully done to create tension in the delayed drops, which fits the meaning of the struggle between "Light and Darkness", a "love and hate" relationship.
Of course, Su's epic vocals, just straight to the soul.
