Before you comment on 'why only one earbud' I am waiting to see doctor as think something wrong 👍 Hope this clears things up ❤
glad you appreciated the little plug i gave to these girls. if you want to do more i had suggested the song scream for me.one of their major influences are iron maiden and the song is written as a tribute to vocalist bruce dickinson. the live version is great but it keeps getting taken down and probably would get copyrighted anyway so here is a link to the recorded version which is about their most kickass song with 2 solos that will melt you.ua-cam.com/video/vTaAeYFh7hU/v-deo.html
I loved your reaction and review. The only thing that I would take issue with is in your remarks regarding the individual musicians. Now don''t get me wrong; I agree with every word you say. Asami is an extraordinary vocalist not onl;y with the kind of voice that sends shivers down your spine but with a gloriously over the top stage presence.... a consummate performer. The two guitarists, Midori and Miyako, are justly praised by everybody for their remarkable talent and profiency while most people have nothing but good things to say about Haruna; the pocket sized drum beast! The one person who is nearly always overlooked however is the bass player Miho. Most reviews never even mention the bass but Miho is the driving force at the back of that band. It was Miho who founded Lovebites and she is the band leader and a major song writer for them. Her bass lines tend to go unnoticed under the ultra high speed shredding of Midori and Miyako but listen for them carefully and you will be astonished at the complexity and virtuosity of her bass playing. She is the unsung glue that gels all the luscious madness together and her talent desreves more recognition than it receives.
The band formed in 2016 the drummervand base player were in another band called Destrose which broke up so tbey decided to form a new band . They discovered the two guitarists doing variuos back up work one of them was learning classical piano when she discovered guitar in her teens the vocalist was an R&B singer and had no knowledge of metal until she met the rest of the band . They were reheassing a cover song Halestorms Love Bites and so do I which they thought really suited the vocalists voice so they took part of the title of that song as their band name Lovebites . You were right with their influences they have performed with Dragoforce and some of their influences are bands such as Iron maiden Judas Priest just to mention a couple . Thanks for the great reaction hope to see some more this band deserves all the exposure they can get. There are a couple of official music videos plus there is the Daughters of the Dawn video which is a live show on youtubs with about 1HR 47Mins of awesomeness
This a band I can feel myself going down the rabbit hole for :) I will keep checking them out, wish I could see them live in UK.
@@bethrobinson94 They have played in the uk and europe they played Bloodstock and were the first all female band to play Wacken on the main stage in germany there is a video of that also on youtube hopefully they will tour again once this rotten virus is gone .
They were literally designed to be a UK/European band, lyrics in English, explicitly styled after Maiden & late Priest. They use Spanish artists, Finnish mastering, and their first “full length show” was at the Underworld barely 2.5yrs ago, barely 6 months before playing Wacken & Bloodstock(opening for Priest). Download & Graspop, and tour with Dragonforce 2019. They’ll be back! ua-cam.com/video/6ouEfglrMOg/v-deo.html
Excellent reaction! Power metal is one of my favorite sub-genres as well. I've been listening to this band a lot lately. Looking forward to future reactions. I confess, I haven't delved into the background on these ladies as I have others, like Band Maid. But I have seen interesting info. It's been said Asami sang R&B before joining this band. That's quite a contrast! Glad we have her in metal now! It's also been said this band's main influence is Iron Maiden. You can certainly hear that in the duel guitars where, as you said, they compliment each other rather than competing.....and Asami is a female Bruce Dickinson if I ever heard one. They were recently on tour with Dragonforce and there are videos floating around where they're on stage together!
Your reaction mirrors my first reaction to Lovebites. They were my new obsession. Instantly. Beautiful reaction, great analysis, and like me, you’ve been bitten.
Great reaction and review!! Your first taste of Lovebites!! I fell in love the 1st time i heard them, now my favourite band.
Asami on vocals has the voice of an angel!
Miho on Bass has those awesome bass slides!
Haruna destroying on Drums!
Midori and Miyako - Best guitar duo in the world imo
I think you'll love majority if not all of there music. Shadowmaker was there first song i saw/heard, Also one you may wanna check out in the future
I only discovered this band recently which is a shame as they played in the UK last year. They're amazing! My favourite song is Shadowmaker, for which there is also an official promo video (which has an unusual promo within it)... you could do a lot worse than to check that one out!
My first reaction on your channel. You know your stuff and I really appreciate that. About the singer Asami, she was previously a backup (!) singer in gospel and r n' b bands. I think gospel especially helped her to develop that strong lyrical heartfull style. Lovebites is an amazing band with an impressive catalogue for such a young band - and a pretty good catalogue! And they're better live ...
I can only imagine how legendary they'll be in a couple more years.
Greetings, I recently did a reaction to them and now YT recommend this channel. I almost wish I would have picked this video to react to. The one i did was a live performance but its still great performance. This sounds amazing and great reaction here.
I want to react to a live performance. If you scrolled through comments there are a lot of songs by band being thrown around. A chance to keep exploring a great band.
Thank you for an awesome reaction to one of the best metal band of the decade. I've been a huge fan for a couple of years now and have their entire collection. There is so much more videos out there for you to check out and hopefully we will get to see more reactions from ya. Vocals "Asami" drummer "Haruna" guitarists are "Miyako" and "Midori" last but not least the founder of this band bassist "Miho". Aldious is also one of my favorites as well as Bridear but when "Misa" and "Mitsuru" were the guitarists
Oh trust me they have a new fan in me! I was not expecting to be this blown away.
Well well... Japan is different
There´s a lot of all female bands in Japan. From punk to power metal, hard rock, garage rock even ska... a lot
You can blame the japanese school system, were playing an instrument is mandatory in a lot of secondary schools. Just put hundred of thousands of people to lean to play any instrument and you at the end must have some very good players. Just "statistics"
Also a lot of bands in Japan do those "duels" but not really duels but complementing each other. Maybe the reason behind is a different culture with a lot of influences from the buddhism where collaboration is above competition. Really a lot of incredible players in this country are really humble and a lot of them after doing something like that you see in this video they say "i´m still learning"
Lovebites have at now 3 studio albums and 1 live, also the producers of Lovebites are Mikko Karmila and Mika Jussila, The same producers of people like Nightwish and Stratovarius among others.
The metal all female band idea comes from a long time ago, one of the most famous all metal bands with a really long trajectory is Aldious (from 2008). Another power metal band but maybe more in the melodic side. They change some members along the years (twice the vocalist and others...) and they are also a really nice band to see, especially life because their members are really happy on stage with a lot of smiles. I´m gonna allow myself to put an example
ua-cam.com/video/tgH8-npq86Y/v-deo.html
Nice reaction and good analysis. I really don´t like a lot of reactions who only say "vote me, gime me money" and only put the video and do nothing else. People do no need to see someone seeing a video and only say "oh... wonderful, very nice" and end of it. Comments and analysis are some added value very apreciated
Aldious has popped up on my Spotify every now and then. I do like what I hear from them.
Jose Manuel Perez in this case they really are still learning. Not like like BandMaid rhythm guitarist Miku’s learning on stage, but both lovebites guitarists Midori & Miyako started late (ages 20 & 19) and are approximately 30 now. I got decent in 10years, but not world conqueringly decent 😉
@@bethrobinson94 Aldious are coming to London in September, fingers crossed its happens.
They are '80s metal fans, Iron Maiden is a big influence. Their name comes from the Halestorm song "Love Bites (So Do I)". The vocalist Asami has sung the song with Halestorm at Download festivals in the UK and Japan. Haruna is a 4 foot 11 inch demon on the drums. The dark-haired guitarist Miyako is a classical pianist, in the middle of their Zepp Tokyo concert, the band takes a break, and she plays Chopin's Etude Opus 10 No. 11 on a baby grand. They toured with Dragonforce in the UK. And they have played at the Wacken and Bloodstock festivals. No concerts in the US yet :-( though both the guitarists appeared at the big NAMM music trade show in LA. As noted by others, the band founders Miho and Haruna came from the all women metal band Destrose. Besides Lovebites, Mary's Blood and Fate Gear are two other all-female metal bands that came from Destrose. If you like all women metal bands, Japan is the place to look. Aldious, Bridear, Fate Gear, Lovebites, Mary's Blood, Nemophila, Show-ya, and many more.
I hope there is nothing serious with your ear.
Japan has been providing awesome metal bands for decades now, most don't tour enough in the west and so we missed an incredible part of the metal world. Until UA-cam.
Bless UA-cam for getting it right for once (I react to Lovebites and now UA-cam recommending more Jmetal)
@@bethrobinson94 Just my 2cents, you're great and your voice is amazing.
You should try to catch one of their live performances. It's a showcase of their musical talents.
You are going to enjoy their live show "LOVEBITES - daughters of the dawn" live in Tokyo
That’s yet another thing that makes them amazing. Although they’ve been brewing since 2016, and now have over 40 songs and 7-8 releases!, they didn’t play a “full length show” until 2.5yrs, ago, yet they played Wacken only 6months later. They are open about their influences (Helloween for the drummer for instance), and even say what their producer coached them to mimic (Gary Moore, Yngvie, the usual 😉), but the trick is the writing, not only half the solos are harmonized and thus must be written memorized rehearsed, but they are often over a completely different section of music, a piece within a piece, that’s the 6minute secret...
Long comment eh. I’m new here, sounds like this could be on the border of what you like. Band of similar... make up, but I especially thought of them because the opposite of Haruna’s relentless drum style, Akane plays different beats, seemingly every half verse or half chorus, lots of dynamics... try their newest, live dvd clip from most recent Valentine’s Day.
Band-Maid - Domination
ua-cam.com/video/QbyQCJn6rYg/v-deo.html
For some different Japanese powermetal, try Unlucky Morpheus- Judgement is Laid Down before Humanity ua-cam.com/video/JS7Px1dTxG0/v-deo.html
Cheers!🍻🤘🎸💃😎
I love your reaction. Spot on with your observations.
Haruna runs a double marathon as a sprinter during their concerts playing the drums.
They are my Power Metal obsession. Although this song was described by Guitarist on right who wrote the music for this masterpiece as melodic speed metal.
Could you hear a little pit of Ritchie Blackmore in the solos? I can. Something like from Highway Star (Deep Purple) or A Light in the Black (Rainbow).
Speaking of Ritchie Blackmore, I heard a rumor, or maybe I made up a rumor that he heard Lovebites. Afterwards he packed up his guitars and Candace Night drove him to Hudson Bay and he chucked all of his guitars in the bay. Well. Maybe I did make that up, but that is how great and talented these bad ass metal princesses are.
Miho Miho Miho! Asami was an R&B (and I believe a bit of gospel) singer before lovebites . Such a large voice out of such a small package
Saw the band in 2017, she was amazing.
I'm not a big metal fan, more into the skate punk kinda vibe, but I can't stop listening to this band, they are straight fire 🔥🔥🔥
Their MV's usually have English subtitles. Their songs are all in English except for one song.
Great reaction. Saw them when they first came over in late 2017. Venue wasn't really suitable but saw they had great potential. Have bought all their albums etc. Totally enjoy their music, and that's from someone who avoided heavy metal in the 70s through to 2017 . Oh a quick shout-out to Miho who plays bass. Often overlooked as she doesn't grab the spotlight but provides the basis for all the songs. Their official music videos often contain adverts because that's their record company. Other Japanese all-female bands you might want to check out include Aldious, Bridear, Fate Gear, Mary's Blood and Destrose.
Wonderful analyze! 😀 A band I just couldnt stop listening to, after discovering them. Bought almost everything instantly. Three albums with almost only full steam. I have two blurays. An almost new one, called Daughters of the dawn, is 1 hour 45 min full speed, almost from start to finish. The stamina of this band is incredible. Especially the drummer, Haruna. She even smiles most of the time. I can add its a bunch of very tiny ladies. I think Haruna is less than 5 foot of loveliness 😊
I discovered them by passing Babymetal and Band-Maid, as it seems many do
They could easily put a lot of other bands to shame.
Good to see them get coverage. You missed the recent Live streaming of their concerts they've done on their channel with the cancellation of shows. They had their Wacken set just the other day.
When Destinies Align is so so. Not the first song I'd recommend. Shadowmaker is really good.
Some of the better live songs got deleted recently. But there's a live version of Addicted - the opening song to their live DVD Daughters of the dawn. Solid track. Empty Daydream is another - one of their softer songs, really showcases Asamis voice.
They probably would have toured the US this year if it wasn't for the Corona virus.
Also check Miyako performance live at NAMM show 2020, she starts at minute 4:40 "NAMM show 2020 Miyako"
R&B vocals crafted with 80's-90's Power metal Musicianship with an Emphasis on dual and harmonic Guitars = Hell Yes!
Lovebites will be 3 yrs old this year.
Asami voc was a backup singer for a something and soul group
Miho bass and Haruna drums came from Destrose and formed Lovebites.
Minority and Miyako guitars both came from other bands.
All have schooling in their respective skills..
You should go back to their earlier videos they don't have a bad song
It should be Midori no Minority. Dang spell check
I love your translation of music and your explanations. Nice!
Lovebites 🤘, definitely have to recommend Unlucky Morpheus then, another amazing power/heavy metal band from the Land of the Rising Sun, totally hope you plan on airing more Lovebites reacts, they are so underrated 😍
So much good metal in Japan, if you can get beyond the language barrier, since many are singing in japanese. Like Aldious, Galneyrus, X-japan, Doll$boxx... and not at least Babymetal and Band-maid. The last band has become a kind of favourite with their melodic hardrock with some prog-elements. Both live and MVs are good. Songs? "Dice", "Moratorium", "play", "Blooming".. for such a New band there is some songs to pick from.
I grew up loving Iron Maiden, now Lovebites has picked up that torch is taking it forward into the future! All are undeniably talented. Miho, bassist, needs to be louder in the mix as she is awesome and keeps the fast pace beat going with Haruna, that little dynamo drummer. Thank you for reacting to this video.
One of my favourite bands to come out of all these requests the past year :) so much talent and so much more to see in the future!
You should also look up other Japanese metal bands - like Galneryus, Unlucky Morpheus, etc. ...
best power metal band on the planet for the last 4 years-now you are lovebitten! they only have a couple of ballads and the rest of the songs are just freight train mode and drummer haruna yosai is the reason for that- she and bassist miho rosana were from earlier girl's metal band destrose-worth checking out- but almost all lovebites songs have insane dueling guitar solos that despite being longer than most still leave you wanting more-midori and miyako are guitar goddesses and were made to play together-what a team! you may want to give the song'scream for me' a listen the awakened version is on youtube-a lot of fan's favorite
I like your positive outlook of things....
Great reaction, Miyako writes various lyrics and arrangements, most of which are geniuses
Did you try Edge of the World and We the United? Those are the very end of 2 hour live, and they are playing like the opening.....witness with your own eyes and ears.....just amazing. I'm pretty sure they can go another 2 hours.
Great reaction and very insightful analysis, based on that alone, a new sub.
is love asami is love lovebietes ❤❤❤
Japanese metal is really coming to the forefront.
It's been around a long time though. If you haven't heard them please check out "Ningen Isu". They've been on the go since the 80's but are only now getting worldwide recognition.
Namahage or Heartless Scat are where most reactors start.
Subscribed because of your in-depth opinions. Keep it up.
Thank you 👍
i feel that japan is enjoying a healthy metal scene, especially on the power side. along with unlucky morpheus as others have suggested, i think it would be worthwhile to check out versailles (neoclassical symphonic power metal) and and Jupiter (same guitarists, different band).
for versailles, i would pick either their first song they wrote Revenant choir to get a feel for what theyre about
ua-cam.com/video/5YsGX7a34O8/v-deo.html
or if you want to dive right in, this is imo their masterpiece
ua-cam.com/video/AdhfE6ITfoQ/v-deo.html
their live performance and theatrics are also excellent
for Jupiter i would pick one from a more recent album (they had many changeups, except the guitarists) Theory of evolution
ua-cam.com/video/8SPUHGRXQUY/v-deo.html
Now, here we have a band that gets the blood pumping. a great band with a lot of potential and that drummer is like a human metronome. I just watched them live on UA-cam over a week ago from Japan with the band present also watching with the world audience ( btw the dvd comes out on weds) and they are everything and more to what you see on their mv. They are regulars to the UK, so next time go see them you will not be disappointed!!! 😎
Hi Guy, your face reaction is great ! From Tokyo Japan 🌸🗡
Japanese are known for being perfectionist in their craftsmanship and the rock/metal scene is huge there so a lot of quality bands have come out over the years. If you're into power metal check out
Unlucky Morpheus- CADAVER REVADAC ua-cam.com/video/_yrNRhIreyE/v-deo.html
Galneryus- Angel of salvation ua-cam.com/video/nsi9HEmZl9Y/v-deo.html
Also, here are two of my fav all female hard rock bands
BAND MAID- Don't you tell me (Live) ua-cam.com/video/foqErbEw05o/v-deo.html
Doll$boxx- Dragonet ua-cam.com/video/nH4TEyJwpm4/v-deo.html
Doll$Boxx might not be your style, and most of their songs are uplifting &/or include electronica , but this song is darker and more ... stable? It’s powermetal singer Fuki (Unlucky Morpheus, Lightbringer, 4 others...) and Gacharic Spin musicians (extremely talented goofballs with very eclectic high energy tastes), and the song is about the last dragon banished to cry tears of blood from the stars forever, in English drummer sings “dominated the ancient world wars, his name is Dragonet”. One of my favs, hope you like.
@@timgove5337 I'm not too fond of the electronic elements hence Dragonet being my fav track of them. Though I'm fine with it being incorporated once in a while to switch things up a bit.
Btw that duet solo from Loud twin stars was so freakin cool that it almost made me change my whole perspective on this genre... I've never seen anyone else do that, atleast i haven't come across any prior to that maybe coz i've always avoided anything electro in general.
The first time i heard it, a big bang went off in my head like "Wait! you can actually do that? this is genius...!"
I hope they release more stuff soon.
A huge fan of Fuki and although Unlucky Morpheus is amazing, unfortunately power metal is too relentless for my tastes and burns me out fast so i can only handle one track per day and that's it... lmao
DLastOne2go Relentless is definitely the word. All the way back to early thrash I’ve been the same way, tho some days an album’s worth. And same with electronics, Gacharic Spin finally had me come round, with the point being “why so serious? It’s just a show...” Still wanting more guitar in the mix, their newest does that; now I’m fanboy for the first time in my life, so of course it’s great right?, but it’s just more “stable” not sure it would’ve hooked me 5years ago. As a musician tho, they’re so impressive, maybe... As productionwise, always more to hear. I used to say “too dense, overproduced”. Now “they changed my life!” Ha!
More please. See you in the pit next tour 🤟
See you there :)
The Japanese iron maidens
The singer is Mariah Carey from Japan
Hey Beth, if you have a chance, just check ASTERISM " Blaze live 2019.3.2 live at Futuoka graf" no lyrics just music. Man hope someday that will get a vocalist!
please react to Galneryus .....thx
I like ur accent... & Ur review style ia the best so far in youtube
just say you're a fan!
I'm a fan now after going down the rabbit hole :)
🤘🤘🤘🤘
Very insightful reaction. Have you heard Band Maid and Nightwish?
Who hasn't heard of Nightwish haha love them 🤘 I've been told to react to Band Maid
I love Lovebites they are extremely talented, another group that is awesome is Doll$Boxx check them out too, thanks for your reaction :D
The Crusade next, or Halestom at download Japan when Asami came on for "Love Bites, and so do I"
Hooray! I made a £5 bet with myself that you'd like it. I won, so thank you! *^^*
Dont forget Band Maid and Mary's Blood.
I recommend you (all) to check out The band which started all that a bit later booming trend of awesome Japanese all-female (or at least fronted) metal etc harder rocking bands, Destrose! Yep they came out (of nowhere) already 10 years ago, and have sadly broken up already....but some members in other bands atm still, quite easy to find out in which. ;-)
Here´s one of their truly Awesome tracks "Rin", just L
one earbud if for answering calls only :D :D :D
Or if you have something wrong with ear and waiting to see doctor 👍
niceロビンソン九十四！
Great reaction to a great group of world class musicians, no try Mary's Blood Marionette (ua-cam.com/video/MLM2unV0kwU/v-deo.html) and let Rio's bass and Saki's fingers of steel blend that old Judas Priest sound. If you want some real progressive metal try Asterism Rising Moon (ua-cam.com/video/IfxMi0Bx4x0/v-deo.html) and watch some supremely talent Japanese teens blend Metal, Hard Rock and Jazz into a instrumental masterpiece, now that they just graduated high school look out!!!
Heard good things about this band, will check them out on the channel soon
If you want to review a metal band that is big in Japan but very few know of outside of it, and that many reviewers miss ( because the milita is small for this band ).
Checkout Versailles - Faith and decision ( m.ua-cam.com/video/AdhfE6ITfoQ/v-deo.html ).
nice ;)
Came here because UA-cam algorithm sent me here lol. LOVEBITES is great. But no Babymetal reactions yet? Don't dismiss them because of the naysayers who call them a gimmick. They're an amazingly awesome gimmick. A musical act with a heavy metal soundtrack and choreography. What could be better than that? Just try them out once. Power metal? Sure, Babymetal has that too. Try Road of Resistance live in Japan. ua-cam.com/video/zTEYUFgLveY/v-deo.html
Yep Babymetal/Band-Maid. You can't go wrong. Foot note regarding Babymetal - if you fall into the fox hole and start 'the journey' with the history you're in for a beautiful ride. Especially Sakura Gakuin content.
I do like Babymetal and have seen them live :)
Going to check out Band-Maid soon :) I do like Babymetal, own all albums and have seen them live.
I love Japan, but I'm not impressed. The composition was pretty boring and simple, there was not much variation, some tempo change and the guitar solos (which was good). The strangely English chorus of the song was poor, not catchy at all. Her vocals were decent but I wasn't feeling that power metal high energy, maybe she was drowned by the instruments too much. Japan and Korea make these pretty model girl bands, they fish in the pop idol waters. What I mean is the image and characters and fandom become super important. Edit: oh, she sings the whole song in English? Completely missed it, only the "Carry on" was caught my ears so clearly.
Uh, no. They were not formed by a management company. This band was formed by the bassist Miho and drummer Haruna. Both were in another defunct band called Destrose. Also, try their first album called "Awakening from Abyss." I think you might like them. The whole album is on YT. Give it a try. All their songs are in English except for one song. They have three albums out so far. I think they are great. Metal genre is pretty niche in Japan. Even this song is about them saying they are going to overcome the struggles of current metal scene in the world and their desire to rekindle and blossom the metal music again. I really give them props for them to sticking it out in metal music in Japan. It's tough for them.
@@fastskipper777 Yeah, I'm sure it's much more popular in Japan being a pop music band. Well, I really didn't get an urge from this to go listen another song, but it is the first song I listened, and one song just isn't enough to tell everything about a band.
In all my hype, I forgot to mention why I love this music video. For me, it feels like Japan and a lot of European countries spend a lot more money on their music videos, and this puts them above most music videos since they can do more and produce something polished and eyecatching like this :)
Unlucky morpheus is another awesome japanese power metal Band, i think you should check out. nice reaction! :)
Aldious/We are/track please.
i like the costume they wearing as a japanese samurai warrior
