BABYMETAL
Audience Participation Lyrics V3
Compiled by /u/foodninja00/. Updated 2018-05-11.
The purpose of this document is to provide a reference for anyone interested in what parts Babymetal audiences commonly sing aloud, either along with the ladies, or as a response back to them. This is not in any way shape or form a dictation on what fans should do. It is just a reference tool. In fact, to some extent, this should be disregarded as even the ladies themselves have said in interviews that they quite like the chaos of disorganized foreign fan cheers.
So why am I writing this? Because when I went to my first BM live early on in my fandom, it was so reassuring to have some basis to rely on (/u/Nabazul ‘s previous version of this document).. Thus, I hope to pay it forward.
Romanji lyric transcriptions are mostly based on Enki-Du (http://du-metal.blogspot.com/)’s hard work. Some changes were made by me to my own preference, and to better convey the intended information. Please see Du-Enki’s blog for translations and in-depth lyric analysis.
Huge thanks to /u/Nabazul for the version 2 doc and for reviewing this version in great detail.
This document focuses solely on vocal participation and musical notes. Audience dance and movement notes will mostly not be incorporated at this time for simplification and clarity.
Loose future plans: Keep updating transcriptions. Update transcription to latest based on Enki-Du’s updates. Restructure all song citations to a side column for better readability. Redesign song citations to no longer require colors to assist with color-blind reading.
Please contact /u/foodninja00/ for reproduction and repost requests and please send any questions and feedback as well.

The bridge: in general there are two versions, but the Tokyo Dome Black Night showed us that they can in fact weave both versions together:
Version 1, the ‘original’ version, call-and-respond with MoiMoi: Soiya soiya soiya soiya Sore sore sore sore. | Version 2, audience interaction version: Welcome to the ____ We’re happy to see you! Here comes the Fox God. Everybody clap your hands!.. On the count of three, let’s pray to the Fox God… Are you ready?!... One Two One two three jump/shout! |
Sore.

Su will sometimes call, “One more!” in which case, repeat the “Sore” segment above.

Lyrics transcription based on Du-Metal version 2017 Mar. 17th
Legend: Italics = Description only, not part of the lyrics Regular = Lyrics song by the ladies [ Brackets ] = Background vocals not sung by any of the 3 ladies. Bold = Audience sing along mirroring BM’s lyrics. { Curly Brakets Bold } = Audience-only lyrics, not song by the ladies |
At the time of writing, there are no audience unison chant parts in this song.
There are multiple intro versions, from simple short piano, to lengthy piano, to a new 2018 very lengthy version. There’s also one single instance of the “unfinished” version of the performance with ONLY piano backing for the whole song. Regardless, lyrics are the same.

Notes:
1 During the second and third time that we hit the “ima nanji” line, Su will often replace the final “wotchi” with an audience interaction word such as “say!” or “come’on!” and let the audience sing “Ima nan-ji!”.

As a special recognition of her 20th birthday (significant in Japan), all instances of “Ichigo” were changed to “Hatachi” during the 2 Legend -S- performances closing out 2017. One expects this to possibly happen again if there are live(s) celebrating Yui and Moa’s upcoming 20th birthdays in 2019.

Song has been performed live once at the Los Angeles Palladium special headliner show, and may very possibly never be played again.
There still remains very little consensus on the lyrics, and certainly no agreed upon audience chant segments.
Please take below with more than a grain of salt.
Atsui kodoo takamatta shoodoo
One only waits
something's going to come
in one's way.
I want to take
every going-on toward
what to take.
Something's going to come.
In the air.
Pray upward
in the air,
in the air.
On the border,
don't stop for love.
Something's going to come.
On the border,
don't stop for love.
Something's going to come.
Cool.
Dream.
Forever.
A memory.
Heart.
Gone night.
Tomorrow.
You wanna mean.
Look at my face
more day after day,
then reach it's the same,
so each day's so same.
I wake from the dream
to keep on dreaming.
The night is so sweet,
but it's so late.
Break.
All it's over.
Never rule her.
All it's over.
Never rule her.
In the air,

My interpretation for this song is iffy. Not enough quality recording and pro-footage to give me confidence in the transcription.
Song sometimes starts with an extended intro of haunting instrumentals before the narration kicks in.

At the time of writing, there are no audience unison chant parts in this song.

As can be expected of this amazing song of chaos, there are no audience unison chant parts at this time. Let’s just sit back and enjoy the audio acrobatics.
Un ga nai! Tsuite nai!
Kotae wa itsu mo

Are ja nai! Kore ja nai!

There are two commonly performed versions:
Japanese/English Version No reason why I can't understand it. moshi kotae ga aru nara, moshi owari ga aru nara. oshiete hoshii. | English-only Version No reason why I can't understand it. if you know this is the end of the world. Looking for our hope, you know that this is the end of the world. you know it's the truth. |

Awaiting the release of Legend -S- bluray. It appears to be a number in the vein of Babymetal Death where it’s mostly instrumental with some background male vocals.

Updating this live as info comes in, for now, it’s safe to say chanting in unison during the “woah woah woah woaoooh” parts is a good plan.

No decent transcription at this time, other than the obvious English parts in the songs’s chorus that I can pick out from fancam footage:
Going up, going up, going up, going up

Q: Where are the updates?
A: As of September, 2019, I have been absent from any activity in regards to Babymetal for 16 months. Life started getting in the way right when Yui departed, and I haven’t really looked back since. I don’t forsee myself being able to keep up with BM in the forseeable future, and thus, would be grateful if someone wished to continue on this document.
If you are interested in creating a version 4, please feel free to pm me on reddit (/u/foodninja00/). I can provide a source copy of this doc, or give general advice.
Q: Where are the covers / alternate versions / Unikitty songs?!
A: As the document is intended to assist/enhance the live show experience, I have not included any songs which are unlikely to be performed live again. That being said, if they do ever perform any of those songs, I will gladly add them! Over The Future saikou!.
Q: What are your qualifications to produce these transcriptions?
A: None really, aside from being a huge fan with spare time.
Q: So do you at least know Japanese and or have some knowledge of the Japanese fan’s ultra-organized crowd interactions?
A: I took a full year of Japanese in university but has since forgotten most of it. I did find a couple of board postings on Japanese forums (2ch!) but couldn’t make heads or tails of their documents, and what little I can understand didn’t jive with what my own ears were telling me by listening to the concert footages. So what I’m saying is, most of this is my own interpretations from listening to and watching both pro and fan footages.
Q: Ok, so are you just a random dude with no special abilities whatsoever?
A: Yep, never claimed to be anything more. That’s why I happily accept feedback and contributions. Please send feedback through reddit PMs to /u/foodninja00/, and please put something in the subject line about BM Fan Lyrics.
Q: Ugh, fine, at least describe your process / how you are producing these.
A: Firstly, as already mentioned, all base Romaji transcriptions are courtesy of Du-Metal, based on his hard work. There are some edits of my own.
Second, for any songs which were already covered by /u/Nabazul back in version 2 of this document - I began my transcriptions based on theirs.
Third, depending on the song, I based my analysis off of different sources. The most heavily relied on sources are:
Fan audio of Tokyo Dome shows;
Bluray of Tokyo Dome shows;
Fan audio of other shows during Resistance chapter 4 throughout 2016;
Red and Black Mass pro shot videos from 2015;
Yokohama and Saitama pro shot videos from 2015;
Fan audio of 2017 Fox Festival shows;
2017 Big Fox Festival Wowow version;
Some sources are much better for capturing the audience audio. Others are good for capturing the most recent audience-interaction segments.
2018 Tour Thoughts - I’ll refrain from posting my personal feelings on the 2018 “changes”, you can go to my Reddit profile if you want to read my comments. In terms of this document though, I’m relieved I didn’t go down the path of identifying each line by who sings it. Would’ve been a disaster having to update the songs with a rotational lineup. :P
2019-09-27: Relinquishing control of this project, encouraging someone to create a version 4.
2018-05-11: Elevator Girl and Tattoo added, Akatsuki descriptions added.
2018-05-07: Distortion added! Rough romanization only.
2018-03-13 thru 03-16: More minor updates: chorus refrain in Megitsune; extended intro for sis.anger; Awadama fever extended intro; Gimme Choco optional intro; Akatsuki intro description
2018-03-01 thru 03-05: A slew of minor updates: new song “In the Name Of” added; FAQ section updated; Yava!’s new intro cited; Meta Taro chorus chanting part updated; Karate longer intro cited and 1 chant part removed; Headbanger “Hatachi” version cited.
2017-10-02: Slight update to Ii ne - “chaos”. Updated status of From Dusk Till Dawn.
2017-04-18: Update Karate to include latest version of audience interaction (cellphone lights)
