Lyrics-
Go! - Go! - Go! - Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! - Go! - Go! - Go! Go! Go! Go!

Dressed-up Miss Fox
[Check it! Cheer up! Check it! Cheer up!]
Waves her twin ponytails in the air
[Fluttering! Cheer up! Fluttering! Cheer up!]
She pops and vanishes
[Whirling! Cheer up! Whirling! Cheer up!]
Let her show her various aspects!
[Kon kon kon ko, kon kon ko kon!]

Go! - Go! - Go! - Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! - Go! - Go! - Go! Go! Go! Go!

Ancient maidens
You dance in the transient dream
Getting over thousands years
You live today

Ah, it's right. Always women are actresses
We're not foxes, not deceiving
But maiden-like female foxes

Ah, girls are becoming more like an ideal woman
Smiling at face, crying at heart
Saying "It's right", we never show our tears

A fox, a fox, I'm a female fox
Women are actresses

Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go!

Go! - Go! - Go! - Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! - Go! - Go! - Go! Go! Go! Go!

Ancient maidens
You sing in the transient dream
Getting over thousands years
You live inside us

Ah, it's right. Always women are actresses
We're not foxes, not deceiving
Maidens...

... shouldn't be underestimated

Ah, girls are becoming more like an ideal woman
Continuously, to keep blazing
We shoot up the fireworks

Ah, blooming and falling is the fate for a woman
Smiling at face, crying at heart
We're pure-hearted maiden-like female foxes

Ah...

"Megitsune" (メギツネ, "Vixen") is the second major label single by the Japanese heavy metal band Babymetal. It was released in Japan on June 19, 2013 as the fifth single from the album Babymetal. It is also the first single released independently from the idol group Sakura Gakuin.

The single was first announced for a June release on April 1, 2013. The single was released in four versions: a standard edition and three limited editions. The "Ki", "Tsu", and "Ne" (Kitsune means "fox" in Japanese) limited editions included single artwork focused on Nakamoto, Mizuno, and Kikuchi respectively, and their included DVDs feature footage of two songs from each of the live performances from Live: Legend I, D, Z Apocalypse.] Additionally, the single included a chance to contain a ticket to the premium event Kitsune Festival at Meguro Rock May Kan on July 14, 2013.

To promote the release, the band was featured in the June issue of Marquee and on the cover of the July issue of Hedoban, in addition to collaborating with Tower Records for the 34th rendition of the event No Music, No Idol
"Megitsune" has been described as "festival metal".Alongside the serious heavy metal tone, there is a mix of Western-style and Eastern-style music, noticeably with the use of Japanese festival instruments. Unlike screams in traditional heavy metal, "Megitsune" is filled with festival chants by Mizuno and Kikuchi like "wasshoi" and "sore sore", while Nakamoto sings in the melodramatic style of enka.The bridge has significant variety in genre, with elements of dubstep as well as interpolations from the traditional Japanese folk song "Sakura Sakura".

The song contains lyrics such as "from the time of birth, women are actresses"which reflect on the song's theme of women remaining strong when living with their varied facial expressions. The song relates foxes, which disguises themselves for deception in Japanese mythology, to women, who disguise themselves with makeup. According to Nakamoto, foxes are similar to women as they can keep their true feeling hidden, even through hard times, leaving a cool impression. The last chorus contains the phrase "underestimate [maidens] at your own peril" (なめたらいかんぜよ, nametara ikan ze yo, literally "if you underestimate, it would be regrettable"), which is also famously said by Masako Natsume's character in the 1982 yakuza film "Onimasa"; whether or not this was intentional has never been confirmed.

Recording had begun shortly after "Ijime, Dame, Zettai", with a tone reminiscent of "Doki Doki ☆ Morning" and "Iine!". After several rounds of remixing, taiko drums were added while the lyrics remained the same. In a Billboard interview about the band's album Metal Resistance, Su-metal explained that the song "is popular among international fans, and I have a feeling that "Karate" will be something close to "Megitsune."George Garner of Kerrang! called the song "the most hyper song [Babymetal] have ever put their name to."
