Best BABYMETAL Songs

BABYMETAL are a Japanese pop/metal vocal and dance group, which was created as a subunit of the idol group Sakura Gakuin, consisting of three teenage girls; Su-metal (lead vocals, dancing), Yuimetal (backing vocals, screaming, dancing), and Moametal (backing vocals, screaming, dancing). They've become a hit because of their extremely unique and catchy sound which fuses j-pop and heavy/extreme metal. They essentially find a way to make it sound both heavy and "cute" at the same time. They've even attracted the attention of well-known metal artists such as Matt Heafy (Trivium), Marty Friedman (ex-Megadeth), Kirk Hammett (Metallica), and Michael Amott (Arch Enemy, Carcass, Spiritual Beggars), having been seen in photos with each of the four. They released their self-titled debut album earlier this year, which consists of the singles they released from 2011-2013, their b-sides, and 3 new songs. They won me over with their music, and I'm here to make the list.
The Top Ten
1 Megitsune

The singing in this song is just amazing! The instrumental work is really catchy. And in the middle of the song, there's a great breakdown that would make you want to bang your head until it falls off!

The song is awesome and better than Justin Beiber's Baby. Hmm, I wonder how the song will when Justin Beiber sings it. Oh why do I need to start it will suck anyway. The song was totally epic.

AGREED! indeed this is "Their Album's Very Best! " single. Headbanger is the second best.
In my opinion this is their Best Song Of All Time! Their first album is the best there's numerous favorite singles. This is the song the define what Babymetal is.

2 Ijime, Dame, Zettai

IDZ is a perfect demonstration of everything that makes BABYMETAL awesome. Incredible vocals, outstanding choreography, mind-blowing instrumentals, and extremely meaningful lyrics with an important message (No More Bullying Forever). Throw in the fact that it opens with a Wall of Death, and this is easily their best song in my opinion.

The thing about this song that won me over was the instrumental work. Very power metal/melodic death metal-esque music. The singing, again, is amazing.

I really don't think you could beat this song. Seriously, it's too epic. Song of the year even, maybe.

3 Head Bangya!!

Catchy, but stays true to the metal genre. Watch the live video and the ending is actually pretty neat. Even if you're against the cute dancing aspect, it's still a great song.

I love the melody, especially in the middle where it gets really brutal but abruptly turns calmer.

As the title suggests, it's a real headbanger of a song. The music is very reminiscent of Children of Bodom in my opinion, and the vocal performance is, dare I say, kawaii as hell!

4 Road of Resistance

This song is powerful and uplifting while at the same time being insanely fun to listen to. It's one of the few songs I would give a perfect ten out of ten to, and that's completely disregarding the fact that it also introduced me to DragonForce.

Awesome guitars. Most heavy tan any other Babymetal song.

5 Karate

The opening riff is godly. I swear, the Kami band does not get enough credit. But then the chorus is incredible. This song really is a masterpiece.

Not as hyper as Gimme chocolate but a good strong set of drawn vocals and backing guitars. Definitely a song that makes me want to slow roll.

This is the only song I like by them. It's an interesting song that's for sure.

6 Gimme Chocolate!!

Christan "the ignorant" grant, this is a song made for fun. These girls are teenagers, you can't expect them to make songs about politics, war, or experiences because they don't have any. Lighten up, will ya?

This is better than everything beforehand on this list in my opinion.

This is so catchy and fun... I love it!

7 Akatsuki

This is a truly majestic power metal song. The guitar work in the song is amazing, the drumming is on point, and Su-metal's voice is absolutely mesmerizing. She's just 16, and she's already a better singer that the majority of literally almost every female singer today. Incredible song.

Suzuka Nakamoto. Wow! Such a beautiful, pure and haunting voice. This solo shows her true talent. I had the privilege of hearing it/seeing it Live in The Forum, London. on BM world tour. It was stunning.

Awesome Song. Su's vocals are beautiful and amazing. Truly one of their best.

8 Iine!

This one is a lot more poppy and techy than their other ones. Shifts from techno, then to a cute little hip-hop section, and immediately into a brutal breakdown!

9 No Rain, No Rainbow
10 Awadama Fever

Accompanied by the most mesmerizing dance moves in the history of dance.

11 Doki Doki ☆ Morning

"Doki doki morning" is the best song "babymetal" offered...

Another kawaii metal masterpiece! And I believe this was their first single ever.

12 Catch Me If You Can

Awesome melody in the chorus. really nice nu metal sound with a very good homage to classic slipknot. it's a super fun and catchy song with overall their BEST dance routine of all their songs, and represents all the members well. and like a BABYMETAL song should do, it has the PERFECT mix of kawaii and metal. My favorite BABYMETAL song and one of my favorite songs of all time!

This riff reminds us metalheads of old school Slipknot. Pretty good song.

13 Tales of the Destinies

I love how they put a little of The One in here to make it sound a little peppier and then a techno piece in the middle. The piano at the end is the most beautiful part, though.

14 The One
15 Babymetal Death

The opener to their album and a b-side to the Ijime Dame Zettai single, this is basically their "theme" song. The only vocal performance there is are the chanting of "Hey! " and the three girls each saying their stage name followed by a unanimous "Babymetal desu! ". I like it because it's one that would really get a crowd pumped for the rest of the live set and because the music sounds really Arch Enemy/old In Flames-esque. Great song!

My mistake. The chanting in the song is actually the band's name being spelled out. It took literally forever for me to get that.

16 Amore
17 Distortion
18 Rondo of Nightmare

Really heavy and dark song. Almost sounds like Periphery.

19 Onedari Daisakusen
20 Kagerou

My favorite song by them of all time. This song pulled me out of the BM fog when things got weird(chosen 7) after Yui left.
