Sakura Gakuin was an idol group that served as an academy for girls between 10-15 years old to prepare them for the entertainment industry. What you saw was an annual event they do in which older students graduate and abandon the project (that's why some girls were crying) to make way for new members. This was the graduation of Suzuka Nakamoto, who is currently the vocalist of the most successful metal band in Japan BABYMETAL. Sakura Gakuin lasted 10 years and gave the world models, actresses, seiyuus, dancers, singers, idols and a metal group. I hope you react to more SG in the future, or to Babymetal who have a bigger fandom and are recognized around the world.

@@B_lightson As the 15 year olds graduate out, new members are 'transferred' in. So in its 10 year run, there has been 36 graduates. There is alot of material to delve into as each year has their own music videos and performances. An album is released for each year, so there are 10 studio albums. Starting in 2015, they began a weekly livestream that allows fans to get to know the girls on a more personal level and it has rewarded them with lifelong fans of the girls that go beyond what they only did in Sakura Gakuin. The fans treat and adore them like little sisters that we like to see them succeed in whatever careers they decide to go into after graduation. One became a nurse, a few became actors, a few began their solo singing careers, or even became part of other musical groups like Babymetal, @OneFive, Metalverse, and LitMoon. One even started her own talent agency in her home prefecture. Sakura Gakuin was a training cadre for the best female talent at Amuse Talent Agency. They learn and are exposed to all aspects of the entertainment industry. They also learn leadership skills as the most senior members are usually class officers with real responsibilities. They learn lifelong skills on how to get along with people, and guide them on leading a fruitful and happy life. Despite the various news about how the idol industry is in Japan, Amuse Talent Agency is one of the good ones where they keep the girls safe and protected as they are all under aged. There is nothing that they do without the parents' consent. I hope you look more into their performances as each one will always bring a smile to your face. Because they truly love performing, and you can see it in their faces when they perform. When the performer is happy performing, that energy is passed to the audience and gets them excited. Thank you for watching Sakura Gakuin.

Sakura Gakuin is no longer active, I believe, but their legacy remains in the J-pop/heavy metal hybrid BABYMETAL, who are still a worldwide sensation today (and who just released a collaboration with Electric Callboy for what is bound to be THE song of the summer "Ra Ta Ta Ta," which is already over 7M views in only two weeks). All three of the original members of BABYMETAL were in the video you watched, and their newest member Momo is also an alum of Sakura Gakuin from a later class. BABYMETAL is Japan's biggest musical export to the West since the 1980s, and Band-Maid isn't far behind. Both groups have done several tours of the US and Europe in recent years and have significant Western followings among rock and metal fans.

Band-Maid is the best band on earth right now! You just heard one of MANY fantastic songs. They have both harder and softer than this. Pop punk, hard rock, metal, classic rock. They do it all and combine them to be unique. For harder one (and newer) try the MV for Shambles. For a ballad type, try Endless Story MV or live. They are a fanatastic live band, I highly recommend Puzzle and Don’t You Tell Me.

Ottima scelta! Le BAND MAID sono in attività ormai da 11 anni. Sono considerate da chi le conosce uno dei migliori gruppi hard rock attualmente in attività al mondo. Sicuramente in mia modesta opinione il migliore gruppo rock giapponese in assoluto a prescindere. Si sono formate dall' iniziativa di Miku Kobato, un ex cameriera di akihabara famoso quartiere di Tokio, che ha creduto nell'idea di contrapposizione di un look carino e gentile con la produzione di musica rock aggressiva. Hanno all'attivo almeno 130 brani uno meglio dell'altro e più di 200 milioni di visualizzazioni su YT Le Band Maid sono : Miku Kobato - fondatrice, testi, cori , chitarra ritmica. Akane Hirose- batteria. Kanami Tōno - songwriting, chitarra solista. Misa ( The Barefoot Assassin) - Basso . Saiki Atsumi - voce principale. Brani consigliati: Shambles MV Domination (live) Puzzle (live) Bestie MV Daydreaming MV Blooming MV Don't You Tell Me ( MV - live) Yolo MV Play ( live) . Manners MV SALUTI! 👋🏻👋🏻🔥🔥🔥⭐💥💥

And a thing about the maid outfits, Bianca: as Fans and Maidiacs know, Miku -- the 2nd guitarist, lyricist, founder and who worked at a maid cafe -- wanted to show that everyday working "Kawaii" girls dressed as maids in high heels while having fun and smiling could rock as hard as any guy band sweating it up in their hip, poor tortured artists "outfits"... and by showing that contrast (the Gap), it would generate interest, which it so successfully has done! It also represents Woman Power (Equality), which is an important theme with the Maids. Now they show up as Maids for all band business and interviews, etc. and have created a long-lasting, unmistakable, visual band brand. Very cleaver, Miku. Your diabolical plan for world domination is working, Po! Of course, none of this would work if their music and stage performance wasn't at such a remarkably high level. Band-Maid is considered by many of their fans and Maidiacs to be the best hard rock band in the world - maid outfits and all!

SAKURA GAUKIN is the incubator in which Babymetal came out of. Sumetal the lead singer of Babymetal is graduated from the idol group, that is this performance. Moa and Yui, the other members are in this video too. Try the video for Babymetal - Megitsune.

The Sakura Gakuin song needs context to understand what was happening. Sakura Gakuin was set up by the Amuse Talent Agency as an Idol group, but the main purpose was to give experience, coach and train about a dozen of the most talented girls (aged between 10 and 15) on the agency's books in all aspects of entertainment (singing, dancing, acting, modelling, writing, stage management and so on) with a view to each girl finding what she was best at or liked best so she could follow that as a career with Amuse after leaving school (compulsory education ends at age 15 in Japan). Amuse gave Sakura Gakuin a school theme to fit in with what they were doing and at the end of the school year any 15 year old girls would 'graduate' and move on to whatever they had chosen to do, new younger girls would 'transfer in' to take the graduates' places. This video was from the graduation show they would put on every year - in this case it was 2013 and there was just one graduate - Suzuka Nakamoto. She had been the class president for the past year (so as the oldest she looked after and led all the younger girls). Those tears are genuine, this was the last time she would perform with all the other girls as a member of SG. Sakura Gakuin eventually disbanded in 2021 after over 10 years and most of the girls who passed through have gone on to successful careers as actresses, models, solo artists or members of groups etc. Suzuka Nakamoto is better known as the lead vocalist with Japan's most successful (internationally) band BABYMETAL. The whole concept was inspired by, devised, formed and developed around her vocal talents and stage presence. Their producer was so impressed that he had a mad idea of her fronting a metal band. BABYMETAL first started as a sub-unit of Sakura Gakuin with Su-metal and two of the younger girls in this video, Yui Mizuno (Yuimetal) and Moa Kikuchi (Moametal). When Su-metal graduated in 2013 BABYMETAL also separated from Sakura Gakuin with her to leave the Idol world and became an independent band in their own right. BABYMETAL released their first album in February 2014 and embarked on their first tour outside of Japan later that year. Since then they have toured the world every year (when they could) became the first Japanese band to headline Wembley Arena, sold out the Tokyo Dome (55,000 people) two nights running, the first Japanese (first Asian) band to have an album at number 1 in the US Billboard hard rock charts, toured with, collaborated with, supported or been supported by some of the world's biggest metal bands and artists. In Sakura Gakuin they started as a fusion of metal with JPop hooks, melodies and aesthetics. They have gone on to mix and blend so many more musical styles and genres with the metal. There is no other band quite like them, they pioneered their own metal sub-genre and nearly 14 years on they are going from strength to strength selling out arenas in Japan and selling out virtually every venue they play as they tour the world. In 2023 they played nearly 100 concerts in 25 countries. This year they are still very busy and just announced another US tour in November.

Thank you so much for taking part of your time to write this comment, I really appreciate this! Now I have a clearer idea of the project and it looks like ti was something really well done that probably remained in the heart of each girl that attended. I'm happy to hear that they managed to have successful careers, this project was really like a kind of school for them. It's also really beautiful to see how they created a special bond with each other I could see that they were talented even at that age and there were no doubt for me that Suzuka Nakamoto was born to be on stage, so I'm really happy to hear about BABYMETAL! I heard the name of this band before, but I never listened to them, now I'm really curious and I know it will be really incredible to see how these girls grew up

@@B_lightson I'm glad I was able to help a bit. Sadly Yuimetal left the band in 2018 after a 12 month absence because of her poor health. Su and Moa continued as a duo supported by any one of 3 dancers (2 of whom had also come from Sakura Gakuin) for 4 or 5 years until one of those dancers, Momoko Okazaki who graduated from SG I think 6 years ago, became the new third member last year. She is now Momometal. A good BABYMETAL song to start with is 'Megitsune'. It was the first song they released after becoming independent and it shows a lot of what they are about - it is also a female empowerment song. The official video from 2013 is very good, but BABYMETAL are one of the very best live acts on the planet, so there is a recent live performance you could watch from April last year at the PIA MM Arena in Yokohama at the 'BABYMETAL Begins, Clear Night' concert - which was also Momometal's first concert as an official member.

This is the first time I've seen a reactor check out Sakura Gakuin before BABYMETAL. You did a pretty impressive reaction video for me. All the BABYMETAL members are in this video. , BABYMETAL's SU-METAL is the one singing in the middle. And the little girl crying at the beginning is MOAMETAL, and the little girl sobbing at the end is YUIMETAL. For the past 3-4 years, they were active in both BABYMETAL and Sakura Gakuin. That's natural, since BABYMETAL was a sub-unit of Sakura Gakuin. Even after Nakamoto Suzuka graduated, Moa and Yui stayed in Sakura Gakuin for 2 years and continued BABYMETAL's world tour and Sakura Gakuin activities. So they gave us great acts in both fields. After Moa and Yui graduated, the three of them continued to work worldwide as BABYMETAL, and their live shows are spectacular, extremely fun, and beautiful. Although the musical genres are different, you can see the talents they have cultivated at Sakura Gakuin in action. The DNA of Sakura Gakuin is right there. If you've seen Sakura Gakuin, I highly recommend watching a Babymetal live video. I recommend watching the two versions of Monochrome. - Monochrome Piano Version (at F1rst TAKE ) And - Monochrome Live at Pier Arena (2023)

Thank you for watching my reaction and for commenting, I'm glad you enjoyed the video ☺ Also thank you for your suggestions and informations! I'm really curious to see how these incredibly energetic girls became, I can't wait to see where their dreams took them!
Welcome, Bianca. You are embarking on (along with many others - over 200 million YT views plus over 40 million reactor plays!) an awesome, progressive, hard-rock journey with 5 incredible women. Here's my intro blurb for those who may be new to Band-Maid: BAND-MAID’s songs and sound beat with the heart and soul of all rockers. But you’ll also hear heavy influences of Prog, Punk, Metal and Pop, with nice touches of Blues, Jazz, Funk and Grunge. Sometimes they use multiple genres within the same song. Their Composition, Execution, Joy of Playing, Consistency (130+ songs), Uniqueness, Charisma, Charm and, oh yeah, Cuteness factor, position them as becoming the hard rock Beatles of our time! In other words, they’re destined for mega-stardom. Each member's personalities are super interesting and their musicianship among the best. Their writing, arrangements and overall sound, especially guitar tones and drums, are kick-ass! Having seen them LIVE, I can honestly say their performance, sound, stage appearance, and band synergy is off-the-rails spectacular! Band-Maid is the only band in decades where I love nearly EVERY song they’ve done. I have over 70 favorites! "Thrill" (2014) is a great place to start: kzitem.info/news/bejne/tpqpnZtphl9ln4Y Their songs from albums Unleash, Unseen World, Conqueror, World Domination, Just Bring It, Brand New Maid, and New Beginning drive even more - Hate?, Shambles, Influencer, Warning, No God, Different, Black Hole, Rinne, Blooming, Moratorium, Domination, Clang, Dice, Spirit, Don’t You Tell Me, Turn Me On, Fate, Play, Hide-And-Seek, Secret My Lips, Puzzle, Choose Me, I Can’t Live Without You, and on and on. But don’t miss out on their powerful, beautifully written, mid-tempo songs like Daydreaming, Bestie, About Us, Memorable, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE, At The Drop Of A Hat, Mirage and Smile... or more punky like After Life, Don’t Let Me Down and Screaming… or funky like Bubble… or bluesy like Manners and The Dragon Cries… or poppy like Start Over… or a bit jazzy like Wonderland… or progressive like No God, Giovanni, and Black Hole… or cultural like the Band-Maiko series… or instrumentals like From Now On, Don’t Be Long, Onset, Without Holding Back and Going Nuts… or their many acoustic versions like Catharsis and Sayonakidori... and last but not least, their Anime hits (AniMaid) like Sense, Glory and Unleash!!!!! (from their own Anime MV (series?)): kzitem.info/news/bejne/mIJ4xXmGjGZpe3o) And many songs are represented with over 50 well produced music videos. kzitem.info Most performances should be experienced from their LIVE audience & online OKYUJI concerts: 2023 Yokohama 10th Year Anniversary Concert “Endless Story” kzitem.info/news/bejne/u5dn32GIi4iVamU ONLINE OKYU-JI (Feb. 11, 2021) “No God” kzitem.info/news/bejne/z3eavaJ_i5x4lKA Tokyo's LINE CUBE SHIBUYA (February 14, 2020) “Domination” kzitem.info/news/bejne/spivt3eAp2ijjJw ZEPP 2018 “Real Existence” kzitem.info/news/bejne/jqeH1H9_hYRmqGU Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 and other full concerts are on bandmaidprime.tokyo, bili, and official Band-Maid’s DVD/BD/CD. And some of the better quality fan videos are excellent. Here’s two of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at an intimate venue: Shot by Pat McKee from their 2023 US tour concert in Detroit: kzitem.info/news/bejne/pZ2uu2GDj5yllGU See the Maids 2023 Rockville Festival’s short-set perfection performance: kzitem.info/news/bejne/16CQ0YKbqHmem5g If you like Band-Maid, make sure to support them by purchasing some concert tickets, live streams, CD, DVD/BD & merch, etc. bandmaid.tokyo Like most Band-Maid songs, I like them from the get-go but really start to appreciate them after more hearings and seeing their LIVE videos. I'll go back and see an older song like YOLO, Order, Shake That, Freezer, Don’t Let Me Down, Before Yesterday, Real Existence, Non Fiction Days and Alone, etc. and realize there's no band that can consistently construct and play like Band-Maid. For fun, check out: "Mega Band-Maid Mix" by DJ Ray of some of their earlier stuff: facebook.com/djrayboston/videos/1004709499579009 Band-Maid MIDI covers: www.youtube.com/@DeanF_MIDI Reimagined compositions of Band-Maid songs: www.youtube.com/@fxdxmusic Band-Maid Members: Saiki Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “StarQueen" - Lead vocals, arrangements and melodies. At 30 and the youngest, “Sensei” (Teacher) as band members call her, has the last word on many musical decisions. High-heels or sneakers, Sai-chan’s smile melts away her sometimes perceived, coldish persona. Saiki’s powerhouse performances, charisma, and voice focus the experience that’s driven her to the top echelon of hard rock frontwomen... or frontmen! Miku Kobato (Me-Ku) "Small Pigeon" - Rhythm guitar, vocals, lyricist, 32 years old. “Koba”, as Saiki calls her, is the Band founder and a firecracker MC & PR SpokesPigeon, po! Her “Magic Spell Time” charm and energy ignite the room. Kuruppo! No, no, no… KURUPPO!! Kanami Tono (Ka-Na-Me) “Princess” - Lead guitar, keyboards, 32 years old, is a prolific writer of most Band-Maid material. Kanami (translates “Song Wave”) is a possessed riff-slayer who’s so damn adorable it hurts. The only thing you want from Mincho is more! Akane Hirose (A-Ka-Nay) "Gorilla" - Drums, 33 years old, band energizer & co-clown with MISA. Achi’s talents include massive consumption of noodles and bananas, of course, (even during performance!) while revolutionizing rock drumming with relentless drive, dynamics and the kick. This “DrumZilla” is the Party! MISA (Me-Sa) "Barefoot Assassin" - Bass, 31 years old. An alluring free spirit driving her 5-string to rapturous low-ends while pulling off surprising counter leads with Kanami, off-stage MISA is the band’s goofball ballerina. Sometimes seen as the Mysterious One because she lets her instrument do the talking, the Assassin literally kills it… every note... uniting Band-Maid’s world-class rhythm section. A slug of JB, a slight grin, and let the slappin’ begin… MISA! MISA! MISA! Maidiacs (Maid-e-acts) - Band-Maid’s crazed yet supportive, knowledgeable and loyal Super Fans. [BAND-MAID NEWS] BAND-MAID PRIME - Special Video Distribution Website. Along with nearly 50 great play-through’s by each member, concerts and skits, Band-Maid management / label(s) have included the Acoustic Christmas 2021, ZEPP 2018 and Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 concerts! Fans can now see more than 50 great live performances with awesome audio, etc. like Fate, I Can't Live Without You and the great MISA / Kanami exchange in Don't You Tell Me.

New sub here. You stand upon the precipice of either falling in love with BandMaid or getting distracted and thinking they are just another band. They're not. They are arguably the greatest proper rock and roll band of the 21st century. Hyperbole is very difficult to avoid with BandMaid so screw it. I envy you so much. There is so much wonderful music,, tears and laughter ahead of you if you keep listening. There's no way to describe here why all the things they do combine to create the music. Tons of riffs - enough to make an album for most bands in one song. More hooks than grandad's tackle box. Genre bending writing and performances. In damn near every song a sing along bit for the fans to keep us engaged. Word play between English and Japanese homophones is not uncommon. Deep collaboration between all members to allow everyone to shine. What they have done is harness their egos in service to the song. Akane Hirose and MISA are IMHO the greatest rhythm section currently active in rock music. Truly inventive bass and drumming - not over played but always interesting with unusual choices that make the songs rich. They're not just keeping a beat EVER! Magnificent composition and stellar guitar work from Kanami Tono and equally magnificent vocals from Saiki Atsumi grab us by the ears.Then There's Miku Kobato- no Miku no BandMaid. Founder, chief lyricist, vocal harmonies sung while playing rhythm guitar she is the backbone of this group. She's the lead singer who fired herself so that the lead singer would have a more rock and roll voice. She's the singer who learned to play guitar while in the band. A paid professional learning her instrument on the fly. Now she has her own signature model of Zematis electric guitar. She willed BandMaid into existence. I haven't even begun to say all I could. Come and see for yourself!

Thank you for subscribing and for the detailed comment that you wrote! It's exciting to see how many people love BAND-MAID, I'm really curious about them, so I really want to react to them in the future (I'm a bit slow, but I'll try to be quick). I really felt it when you said that you envy me since it's the first time I'm discovering them 😄 I felt like this in the past too when I wanted to share something that I loved with the others! ahah Can't wait!

You should watch BabyMetal the group that came out of Sakura Gakuin. When the group Metallica saw them live they said they were astonished by their awesomeness. Some suggestions 1. Metali feat Tom Morello the official video 2. Pa Pa Ya feat F. Hero. The official video

Nice reaction B. Now listen to “Don’t You Tell Me” (Official Live Video) and I guarantee that you will want more and more and more Band-Maid. Their music pulls you in and never lets go! Word of advice, you shouldn’t talk during a Kanami guitar solo, it’s kind of a written rule with us Maidiacs.

Sakura Gakuin was a idol group disbanded in 2021. This is the graduation of Suzuka Nakamoto, Su-Metal lead singer of Babymetal. There are also Yui Mizuno and Moa Kikuchi, Yui-Metal and MoaMetal, founded members of Babymetal along with Su. Yui left Babymetal in 2018 due health issues. In this video Su was 15 and both Yui and Moa was 14.

Ho visto adesso che sei italiana. Se non lo hai ancora fatto, guarda dei video delle Babymetal, preferibilmente dal vivo. Puoi cominciare con Road of Resistance live in Japan del 2015 e Monochrome Live at PIA Arena 2023, per farti un'idea. Ne varrà la pena. Ci sentiamo

Graduation is around April, so I think that means if Su(zuka) was 15, then it would make Yui and Moa 13.
