In 2019 my band The Baboon Show shared the stage with Lovebites at Download Festival in Madrid. I was standing by the side of the stage with my jaw dropped. About two months ago I re-discovered them and didn’t listen to anything else since then! Love your reactions to them and the same thing happened to me watching this song for the first time. I was so touched and cried. Love this band. Music is everything!
I seen them in London on July 1st. It was a small venue about 500 people. Also had a meet and greet and photo with them. They were awesome and very friendly.
Awesome story! I don't even know, why I didn't follow up to them, when I saw them in a local TV report about "Wacken W-O-A- 2018" (still recovery?), but I'm so happy, that I've rediscovered them last year in June because of a UA-cam reaction (was looking for Pink Floyd and got this).
That's why I think that the best metal band of the last 30 years at least, they already deserve to be recognized around the world. They have incredible talent. Ty.
LOVEBITES has incredible technique, but what's especially great about them is that they've continued to produce songs with a musical quality that other bands can't create.
LOVEBITES - Swan Song lyrics & credits: If this was the last day you could live on this earth Would you still go on, accusing someone for today It’s better to fail than not do anything at all It is not the length, but depth of life that counts Oh brave soldier Oh gallant warrior Valor to those who died in battle to Valhalla Believe what’s in your soul For death will come to all You shall rest peacefully in God’s Heaven Floating lotus You are so graceful Saintly and glorious Till the end of time Floating lotus You are so beautiful Sing me your sweet song The legend of the swan If you’ve never hoped, you’ve never been through despair Ignorance is bliss, it’s easier to never care You might think it’s meaningless to sacrifice a life Sometimes the life of one can save so many more Oh brave soldier Oh gallant warrior Valor to those who died in battle to Valhalla Believe what’s in your soul For death will come to all You shall rest peacefully in God’s Heaven Floating lotus You are so graceful Saintly and glorious Till the end of time Floating lotus You are so beautiful Sing me your sweet song The legend of the swan SOLO: miyako / both Floating lotus You are so graceful Saintly and glorious Till the end of time Floating lotus You are so beautiful Sing me your sweet song The legend of the swan SOLO: midori [guitar] / miyako [piano] ----- lyrics: asami music: miyako arrangement: miyako & LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) album: Electric Pentagram 01/29/2020 ----
All the band members are super talented but even within that context Miyako is something special. There's a reason why the other band members have nicknamed her "The golden touch" and why Asami has said in an interview that all bands should have a Miyako in them. It goes beyond talent into the realms of genius. The old adage has it that talent does what it can but genius does what it must. Everything she touches does indeed turn to gold. This is a lady incapable of mediocrity.
They've teared me up in more than one occasion. Often, it's like you said: I get all choked up because I know I'm witnessing talent of the most rarified form. It's just so moving to see. Other times, its Asami's vocals and lyrics in a song like Epilogue. I love this band so much!
I think Lovebites is one of the most talented and massively unknown bands around, I mention them to friends and they are amazed at what they are watching. Stay safe, keep the wine stocked up 😃
Every facet of this song has meaning. They all poured their talents to craft a worthy eulogy to those who gave their lives to preserve freedom. Man, I ADORE this band. Lovebites for life🤘🐺🤘❤️
Miyako started playing piano at age 3 and started playing guitar at age 18. She also can play the bass and drums. She's stated that she is a pianist first. If you want another song with a stellar piano intro with Miyako and another member of the band playing piano as well - Miyako Piano Solo "La Campabella" Lost in the Garden
In case you don't know, Miyako released an EP where she took metal songs and reimagined them as classical pieces. There's a music video out of her playing "Eagle Fly Free" from Halloween. Her version of Gary Moore's "The Loner" will bring tears to your eyes. (She's a huge fan of Gary Moore and you can see that influence in some of her guitar solos. Last year she performed 2 concerts by herself just playing piano. She also is doing that again next month. Those concerts always sell out. There's another song that Miyako wrote for Lovebites called "Dystopia Symphony" and it is her tribute to Beethoven. She even patterned the song in the form of a Beethoven sonata. She also included portions of the third movement of the "Moonlight Sonata." I don't think they've ever performed that song so there's no video of it. Only a person who completely understands Beethoven and only a person who has an incredible knowledge of musical theory could have written "Dystopia Symphony." You should check it out.
@@rainerzufall42 They should revisit "Dystopia Symphony" because that one was born before they were ready for it. They could extend it and develop it into a major piece----4 movements, about 20 minutes long in total. I feel that their shows could use a long piece in the right venue. Not at ProgFest but in a auditorium setting in Tokyo. Or the London Palladium.
Absolutely mesmerising and utter perfection, as always. Still, enough about your reactions, let's talk about what an incredible performance that was from Lovebites!
You have just witnessed Miyako, the generational talent who is a virtuoso on BOTH the guitar and piano. She has been classically-trained on the piano since the age of 3. Miyako also composed & arranged "Swan Song" and this track is a neoclassical metal masterpiece. Throughout the song, you can hear motifs from Romantic-era composers Chopin (intro, main riff, solo) and Dvořák (Chorus). Miyako's piano intro is Chopin's "Étude Op. 10, No. 12 in C minor", aka the "Revolutionary Étude". If you want to see more of Miyako on the piano, she reimagined and translated Helloween's "Eagle Fly Free" into a piano cover : ua-cam.com/video/-h3BLRs0Xr4/v-deo.html . You guys stay safe from the hurricane !
Yes, but first "Empty Daydream", then "Epilogue" - then we accomplish all "E"-songs in an emotional row, because they'd already experienced "Edge of the World" . . .
I love your reactions. You are my favorite couple. The Gringa's reaction is the best because she showed her emotions a lot more. Miyako started taking piano lessons when she was 3 years young. Last year she released a 6 song EP with 5 metal covers and a LOVEBITES cover. Your next reaction should be her cover of Helloween's Eagle Fly Free followed by the Studio live by LOVEBITES. You will be amazed by both versions. Stay safe and I will be looking forward to more reactions. Peace and LOVEBITES! 🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺
I've watched this reaction many times, 10+ maybe. Great reaction, absolutely great as all of your reactions but this reaction is something else..... I like your surprise on the end when Miyako is back on piano....speechless
This is why I like to watch reaction videos; We spectators all know what's coming next . . . and then enjoy the real emotions of the reactor(s) - finding the same emotional expression as we had ourselves, when listening to that piece the first time !
Great reaction! I knew you guys were going to love this, one of the legendary performances from these amazing ladies. I can get tears from this too, and so many reactors report goosebumps from their performances. 🎹🎸🤘🐺😂🤘
@@TJandTheGringa I discovered them in 2017 and was immediately hooked. To date, no metal band has reached such a level of maturity and talent in such a short space of time.
@@TJandTheGringa In January 2025, the band will hold their largest ever domestic tour, the "ETERNAL PHONOMENON TOUR, which will visit various Zepp venues and the hometowns of the band members . The tour will kick off in Fukuoka on Sunday, January 26th, and include a total of nine shows in Kagawa (Midori's hometown), Osaka (Miyako's hometown), Aichi, Hokkaido (Asami's hometown), Miyagi, Niigata, Shizuoka (Haruna's hometown), and Tokyo (Fami's hometown) . They will be performing with a special set list that includes songs from their latest EP, "LOVEBITES EP Il," their signature hits, as well as older songs that will be performed for the first time in live shows .
@@GrayFox14 Miho had an instinctual groove---- very smooth. Fami's age and appearance conceal the soul of a natural entertainer and VERY aggressive bass player.
There is a brainwashing cult called "Miho's Witnesses", they always sing "Oh sole Miho". If a LOVEBITES fan also likes Fami, then he is demonized as a Fami fan, true story.
- They're quite unknown outside Japan; - The international entertainment industry hasn't got aware of them yet; - The international finance world hasn't yet realized how to make a million-dollar-business with these ladies by promoting and lifting them above the level of a small freaky community of metal-fans.
Someone else somewhere mentioned that there is a beauty in their music that is beyond the earthly realm. The music of the spheres----something. It taps into our unconscious.
Miyako - her masterpiece - your reaction is perfect. This song sits in my top five of all Lovebites songs, but every time I hear it, it becomes #1 again 🤘🎸🐺
You 2 are so great. Thank you for continuing reacting and supporting Lovebites, the most talented ladies in metal. Please check out "Epilogue" next. Miyako can make her guitar cry. So melodic and soulful.
They say hard work can match up to talent. Well, when talent puts in the hard work, you get Miyako. ...And Midori. ...Ah, heck, you get this whole band. I think Swan Song is my favorite song of theirs. But it's tough, cause all their songs are so good.
@@HowardGraves-e4k Absolutely right. Soldier Stands Solitarily (Not gonna lie, took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out that abbreviation. lol) is an epic song, that showcases everyone's talents as it slams full speed ahead. Don't wanna say much more than that, because I'm pretty sure they haven't reacted to it yet. I think what wins me over in Swan Song is the beauty of it. You get the epic talents, and hard hitting sound, but it's also delivered in a moving way that not many can pull off, and sound natural while doing it.
Hellooo. I discovered this great band in 2019 and every year they have grown, more and more. I am going to propose some ideas and then you decide. I propose a reaction to the song "Rising" but it would be nice if you made a program ,with the three versions of this song.1 - the official video clip version. 2- the live version 3- an acoustic version, which is a delight, with Miyako on the piano and Asami on vocals. On the other hand, I also recommend the song "Journey to the otherside", a tribute song to Miho's deceased father. If you really want to see Miyako's enormous talent on the piano, I also recommend a reaction to the song "Eagle Fly Free" by the band Helloween, performed on the piano by Miyako, a work of art. And finally I continue to recommend, over and over again, the metal ballad "Epilogue", a beautiful ballad. A big hug
Nada cambia con ellos,talento puro escuches lo que ellos componen,piel de terciopelo,un placer,sera un viaje extraordinario musical,larga vida y saludos
Nightwish have their "Metal Mozart" (Tuomas) and Lovebites have their "Metal Chopin" (Miyako). What a great artist in many ways! Nightwish is still my No. 1 favourite band but Lovebites more and more become my No. 2. Yesterday I showed some of their music videos to a friend who did not know this band. Her first reaction was: When you hear that Lovebites come to Germany or the Netherlands (she lives near the frontier) please tell me. I would like to go to a concert of them. She - as me - instantly has fallen in love with this genious band. And this song really is something special, one of my favourite Lovebites songs. I always need tissues, especially at the end of the song during Miyako's piano playing. Also here Asami shows some of her ballet movements in a very graceful way.
Hello again I am commenting, Lovebites... I saw them live this June, I am a musician is I have played live, I have seen many great bands live, but here we are total madness. you are right 5 artificial intelligence. Some things about them: Fami on bass was flying smiling with all his tightrope lines and turns. Midori an Amazone and unique style a monster. Haruna I didn't think such a tiny woman contained that amount of energy, fantastic and impressive. Asami a Metal soprano, I was in the front row under Miyaco but I could hear her natural voice over the microphone, mentally ill, disarming...... and then my Goddess, Miyaco what can I say, after SWAN SONG just finished, she was two meters away from me I looked at her and with gestures I said "you are not normal" and worshiped him for fun, She smiled at me a little embarrassed waving, and I died.. Miyaco also plays very well, the bass, the drums. Did you know that he also sings well' in "Empty Daydream" he does the counterpoint to Asami, I couldn't believe it, EVEN THE VOICE!!!!! come on pleaseee. an Alien Goddess.
That "Thunder Vengeance" performance that you probably mean (with the flashes and thunder at the start) was the opener to exactly THIS show! There's more or less no difference between "Five Of A Kind" (name of the 2CD/DVD/Blu-ray) and "Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020" (venue, place of the preformance). There may once be a "Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2025", but we are not there yet!
I may be wrong, but the difference in THIS precise song might be that the grand piano entrance at the end is not so transparently captured in the other recording. Not sure, as there are several Live versions of the greatest songs floating around.
Great reaction, thanks. Keep up the good work. You didn't finished "E songs trilogy" (songs beginning with "E"). You've reacted to "Edge of the world", two more to go, "Empty daydream" & "Epilogue".
#Tequillajimmy #Lagringa Excellent reaction as always. A recommendation for your LOVEBITES WEDNESDAY . Pick up SPELLBOUND live from the Tokyo Dome city hall 2021during the Ride For Vengeance tour. It's another song with piano and you will see how Miyako can be funny on stage. Miyako start piano at 3 years old and start guitar at 17 years old.
As you really love Lovebites and Miho. You must react to "Journey to the other side" live. This song Miho wrote as a tribute to her father when he passed out is clearly not the best song from Lovebites. But when you witness the emotions from the band here. You can understand why they never ever ever played it again live. Im an old metalhead and not easily shear a tear. But every time i watch this one i becomes liquid.
There will NEVER be another Miyako. Truly the 8th wonder of the musical world. To be able to experience it in the present, in her prime is an absolute blessing. Hendrix was before my time, never got to experience him at all; being a once in a lifetime musician. Miyako is my Hendrix. But that ending...chills even after the 1000 time listening. Great selection to react to. Recommend Above The Black Sea live 2019 ua-cam.com/video/eXDvzmjlA6g/v-deo.htmlsi=vkJK4gl-1njIin0c. Miyako's intro solo is superb. 🤘
You're certainly spot-on about all members being elite. Not only are we fortunate enough to witness Miyako flex her musical chops, we also get to witness the artistry of Midori, Miho, and Haruna. On top of all this, we see Asami's portrayal of The Swan. It's my understanding that The Swan dies at the end, while we are mesmerized by Miyako's brilliant outro. I, for one, would have loved to see that too. I guess that's why you buy the ticket.
Miyako started at age 4 with the piano, she started playing guitar at 18. Her grandfather bought her first guitar, an Ibanez. She also played brass instruments in her youth like the trombone.
yeah, and she also plays bass and drums and she sings multitalented, and in an interview they asked: "what instruments do you play? en she said "yes".... she is sooo fr*** good
Funny, that Midori started playing piano in the year when Miyako was born, but they both started playing guitar probably in the same year (2008, plus/minus 1 year). Common info is that Miyako started piano at the age of 3. Where did you get the 4?
@@obud3777 Sorry. The ladies themselves said that they started playing the piano: Midori - when she was 2 years old, Miyako - when she was 3 years old, Miho - when she was 5 years old
Qué onda con esa gringa y ese Jimmy. Je, je. I really appreciate all of your support to Lovebites. This is another masterpiece by these phenomenal women. Yes, Miyako is primarily a concert level classical pianist. This concert is appropriately called “Five of a kind”, first with Miho and now with Fami. Once more, I highly recommend Miyako’s piano rendition of Helloween’s “Eagle fly free”, posted on the Lovebites UA-cam official channel.
How not to love Lovebites. Some additional information Miho has been fond of hard rock and heavy metal since elementary school and started playing bass in high school. His favorite bands are Iron Maiden, Pantera, Mötley Crüe and Anthrax. He referred to his playing as more charisma than technique, and cited Steve Harris as a strong influence alongside Nikki Sixx's style. Haruna has been playing drums since the age of thirteen and began writing songs on the keyboard at fourteen. From elementary school to high school, his favorite band was B'z, but he became interested in heavy metal after listening to Helloween's Master of the Rings. As a result, she has stated that her basic drumming style is that of Uli Kusch. Midori began learning piano at age two and electric organ at age eight, but gave up both when she entered university and began learning guitar at age 20. She is a graduate of the Musicians Institute Japan in Osaka, and lists Kiko Loureiro, Nuno Bettencourt and Yngwie Malmsteen as his biggest guitar influences. In general, Midori said she plays the band's "flashy and aggressive" guitar solos, while Miyako plays the "slower, more melodic" solos. Miyako has played classical piano since she was three years old and guitar since middle school. Growing up listening to classic rock bands like Deep Purple and Rainbow with her mother, Miyako ended up being greatly influenced by Ritchie Blackmore. But she was also influenced by more modern guitarists such as Polyphia's Timothy Henson and Scott LePage. It was Ettore Rigotti from Disarmonia Mundi who chose her to start composing and arranging songs. Asami has a background in R&B and soul music and likes artists like Alicia Keys and Aretha Franklin. Starting at the age of two, she took classical ballet for about 16 years before moving to America after high school to study jazz and hip hop dance. Fami played piano and violin before starting to learn bass in high school at the request of a friend. She plays finger style, explaining that she gave up trying to play with a pick because she found it "impossible". Since there are two guitars on Lovebites, Fami believes the bass needs to have a harsh, distorted sound.
This performance reminds me of a University teacher who once told me that German Philosopher Martin Heidegger's (Born: 26 September 1889) works, Being and Time (Sein und Zeit), had been translated into Japanese at least seven times. I can understand how the best of Japanese minds had always wanted to outsmart the Occidental world in their own game, be it music, philosophy or technology. Cheers to all the Wolfpack community, fraternity and all those metal fans out there. 🙂
This song is from the "Five Of A Kind - Live In Tokyo 2020" held by LOVEBITES at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo on February 21, 2020. Available in digital, cd, dvd and blu ray format. The setlist is: 1.Thunder Vengeance 2.Holy War 3.Don’t Bite The Dust 4.Rising 5.Raise Some Hell 6.Break The Wall 7.Shadowmaker 8.Piano Solo (Etude Op.10, No.12) 9.Swan Song 10.Addicted 11.Dancing With The Devil 12.Signs Of Deliverance 13.M.D.O. 14.Golden Destination 15.When Destinies Align Encore. 16.The Awakening 17.The Hammer Of Wrath 18.Edge Of The World 19.We The United
As usual, a great and insightful reaction to the awesome lovebites, they are, as individuals, top tier musicians throughout, as a band they are in my obviously unbiased opinion, the most talented band ever. Asami's vocals and stage presence are mesmerising to see and hear, Haruna is unstoppable, my No.1 drummer, Midori is one of, if not the best shredders in the business, and has so much stage presence, her facial expressions are great, Miyako is just Miyako The Golden Touch says it all, Miho was/is so good on the bass and as a song writer, and as the main founder of the band, along with Haruna, will always be remembered with ❤, I don't think anyone else but Fami would have been able to fit in with them, and she's still so young, unbelievable. You have so much more to hear from them yet,,and I for 1, look forward to seeing your faces on Wednesdays. 🤘🎤🥁🎹🎸🐺. Stay safe
Please keep safe! Wine sounds like a good way to spend a hurricane, to be honest. It takes guts - or good knowledge of your audience - to play Chopin at a metal concert and have the audience love it! Miyako has played the piano since age 3 and started learning the guitar at 20, roughly, so she's 'only' played guitar for 12-13 years. She also plays bass and drums so you could call her musically gifted.
LOVEBITES is playing a top notch 'precious' kind of "Eclectic Metal" (combining several music directions existing with metal distortion, heaviness and a certain amount of emotional triggering relentlessness). Come together, fans of every genre. Listen to them - it's worth doing that . . .
The Miyako Show!!!! She's my favorite musician for many reasons. Guitar, piano, composing & arranging - all highlighted in this masterpiece. And don't kid yourself about thrash - Asami & Miyako have already shown they can do it with songs like "DIssonance" and "Where's Identity".
Just to give you a quick heads up about the Pilgrim guy who's having a back-and-forth with you in the Adventura reaction. I have been monitoring this guy for a while now and I have a strong suspicion that he might be you-know-who in disguise. He says a lot of good things in general but he tends to subtly attack the reactors or band members when the opportunity arises. The Davie04 comment in your thread there showed his true colors. A true Lovebites fan will never attack Fami like this. I'm not 100% sure about him yet, but just be aware, and I'm continuing my "observations" of this person.
I now understand why americans are sooo loud, i just watched this : ua-cam.com/video/Uqg0nOIndMA/v-deo.html and hell, the background noise is sooo extreme, no wonder when people there always have to shout so anyone can understand them. And else .. driversless taxis, seriously
If You want to see something different, watch an "old" exhibition at Waken (Germany) live: "Above to the black sea" (about the story of one Kamikaze). This song is from a trilogy about the WWII, the others are: "Under the red sky" and "Apocalypse" about the Nuclear Bombs on Japan. In this show of Wacken, You can see he real crowd control of Asami! Thank You! Oh, i can suggest you also one song of Lovebites: Rising but in a live version only Asami (voice) and Miyako (piano), very emotional!
You guys really admire Miyako's piano skills... then you MUST check out this Miyako piano piece -> ua-cam.com/video/-h3BLRs0Xr4/v-deo.html will blow your mind!!!
Thank you for your reaction to LOVEBITES.😃 Very nice reaction and feedback.👍🤗 Thank you for your continued support of LOVEBITES.🙏 All members can play the piano. In addition to their own instruments, they can also play multiple other instruments such as drums, bass guitar, electric organ, and violin. Miyako-san (electric and acoustic guitars, bass guitar, piano & keyboard, Keytar, drums) Midori-san (electric and acoustic guitars, piano,YAMAHA Electone) ＜The YAMAHA Electone is an electronic pipe organ-like instrument that is played using both hands and feet. The Electone has three keyboards: an upper keyboard, a lower keyboard, and a pedal keyboard.＞ Haruna-san (drums, other percussion, piano) Asami-san (piano) Fami-chan (bass guitar, electric guitar, 🎻violin・piano)🤗
It's always helpful to think of Miyako as a pianist who also plays the guitar . Trained from the age of 3 to concert level standard it also explains her amazing writing and arrangement capabilities . BTW if you want to check out Miyako in one of her " off duty " moments this , posted on her own channel when the band was on tour in San Francisco , is really cute ( she takes a ride in one of the Waymo driverless cabs ! ) - ua-cam.com/video/Uqg0nOIndMA/v-deo.html
She is better on piano than guitar IMHO, but she is a demon on the guitar. Her recent EP of 6 metal songs she converted to classical pieces is a stunning piece of music from a musical savant. She has been trained on piano from age 3 (thus her stoic stage persona where the instrument plays the music not the musician) but her brain needed a challenge so at 18 she self taught the guitar!! While her talent is a rare gift, nonetheless, it is her dedication and relentless practice that has made her this great at all the instruments she plays. She is an equipment nerd, mother, Star Wars fanatic and so much more (check out her YT channel for a personal view of her offstage). Also her genius is blessed with insanely talented band-mates who can play her creations to perfection especially LIVE.
In exactly a week I travel to Tokyo so I can see the matinee and soirée of “A Day with Miyako”, two piano recitals which include her arrangements of various rock pieces. I saw the soirée last year when she did this for the first time and it is utterly spellbinding. Sadly, as last year, the soirée (of a mere 300 tickets) has yet to sell out, though last year’s did pretty late on. Might sound weird but that offends me because with such talent the auditorium (which is beautiful) should have been sold out in the fan club initial lottery months ago. It is to the eternal shame of the Wolfpack that this should happen twice. Please, next time you watch this video of Swansong notice that as the stage darkens and Miyako begins her solo outro, Asami performs the Dying Swan (and does so every time).
In 2019 my band The Baboon Show shared the stage with Lovebites at Download Festival in Madrid. I was standing by the side of the stage with my jaw dropped. About two months ago I re-discovered them and didn’t listen to anything else since then! Love your reactions to them and the same thing happened to me watching this song for the first time. I was so touched and cried. Love this band. Music is everything!
So Awesome!!
They played 2 shows in Spain again this year, at Resurrection Fest and Rock Imperium Festival.
I seen them in London on July 1st. It was a small venue about 500 people. Also had a meet and greet and photo with them. They were awesome and very friendly.
Awesome story!
I don't even know, why I didn't follow up to them, when I saw them in a local TV report about "Wacken W-O-A- 2018" (still recovery?),
but I'm so happy, that I've rediscovered them last year in June because of a UA-cam reaction (was looking for Pink Floyd and got this).
That’s a funny band name 👍
That's why I think that the best metal band of the last 30 years at least, they already deserve to be recognized around the world. They have incredible talent. Ty.
LOVEBITES has incredible technique, but what's especially great about them is that they've continued to produce songs with a musical quality that other bands can't create.
💯‼️
Look at their expressions at 17:17. Total disbelief.
Thank you for the beautiful tears again. I also find myself crying when I listen to this song.
LOVEBITES - Swan Song lyrics & credits:
If this was the last day you could live on this earth
Would you still go on, accusing someone for today
It’s better to fail than not do anything at all
It is not the length, but depth of life that counts
Oh brave soldier
Oh gallant warrior
Valor to those who died in battle to Valhalla
Believe what’s in your soul
For death will come to all
You shall rest peacefully in God’s Heaven
Floating lotus
You are so graceful
Saintly and glorious
Till the end of time
Floating lotus
You are so beautiful
Sing me your sweet song
The legend of the swan
If you’ve never hoped, you’ve never been through despair
Ignorance is bliss, it’s easier to never care
You might think it’s meaningless to sacrifice a life
Sometimes the life of one can save so many more
Oh brave soldier
Oh gallant warrior
Valor to those who died in battle to Valhalla
Believe what’s in your soul
For death will come to all
You shall rest peacefully in God’s Heaven
Floating lotus
You are so graceful
Saintly and glorious
Till the end of time
Floating lotus
You are so beautiful
Sing me your sweet song
The legend of the swan
SOLO: miyako / both
Floating lotus
You are so graceful
Saintly and glorious
Till the end of time
Floating lotus
You are so beautiful
Sing me your sweet song
The legend of the swan

I think Lovebites is one of the most talented and massively unknown bands around, I mention them to friends and they are amazed at what they are watching.
Stay safe, keep the wine stocked up 😃
Every facet of this song has meaning.
They all poured their talents to craft a worthy eulogy to those who gave their lives to preserve freedom.
Man, I ADORE this band. Lovebites for life🤘🐺🤘❤️
Siiiii, esta banda tiene mucho nivel, impresionante músicos, Greetings from Chile. 🇨🇱
Miyako started playing piano at age 3 and started playing guitar at age 18. She also can play the bass and drums. She's stated that she is a pianist first.
If you want another song with a stellar piano intro with Miyako and another member of the band playing piano as well - Miyako Piano Solo "La Campabella" Lost in the Garden
A timeless masterpiece！
Thanks for the nice reactions and accurate insights. I too cry every time I watch this video.
Behold, the power of Miyako! It really got to both of you. I was blown away the first time I watched this performance.❤
Simply Astonishing!
Epic, masterpiece, majestic, fine art. Classic piano in the chaos metal music's. One of their greatest songs & showmanship. Great reactions guys 👍🤘
Thank u for your lovely reaction🤟Lovebites
For “Swan Song”, Miyako combined elements of two of her favorite classics: Chopin’s “Revolutionary Etude” and Dvorak’s “New World Symphony” 🤘
nice reaction! i love you guys
from japan ✋
Thank you !! We Love you right back ❣️ 🇯🇵
You cry and I also cry to this song .Thank you for pick up Swan Song from Tokyo😀
In case you don't know, Miyako released an EP where she took metal songs and reimagined them as classical pieces. There's a music video out of her playing "Eagle Fly Free" from Halloween. Her version of Gary Moore's "The Loner" will bring tears to your eyes. (She's a huge fan of Gary Moore and you can see that influence in some of her guitar solos. Last year she performed 2 concerts by herself just playing piano. She also is doing that again next month. Those concerts always sell out. There's another song that Miyako wrote for Lovebites called "Dystopia Symphony" and it is her tribute to Beethoven. She even patterned the song in the form of a Beethoven sonata. She also included portions of the third movement of the "Moonlight Sonata." I don't think they've ever performed that song so there's no video of it. Only a person who completely understands Beethoven and only a person who has an incredible knowledge of musical theory could have written "Dystopia Symphony." You should check it out.
That EP with 6 songs is called "Etude Op.23", is OOP, but you can find a playlist, if you search for "miyako topic" on UA-cam!
@@rainerzufall42 They should revisit "Dystopia Symphony" because that one was born before they were ready for it. They could extend it and develop it into a major piece----4 movements, about 20 minutes long in total. I feel that their shows could use a long piece in the right venue. Not at ProgFest but in a auditorium setting in Tokyo. Or the London Palladium.
Absolutely mesmerising and utter perfection, as always. Still, enough about your reactions, let's talk about what an incredible performance that was from Lovebites!
You fkin rock Tony! Much ❤️

Master piece
You have just witnessed Miyako, the generational talent who is a virtuoso on BOTH the guitar and piano. She has been classically-trained on the piano since the age of 3. Miyako also composed & arranged "Swan Song" and this track is a neoclassical metal masterpiece. Throughout the song, you can hear motifs from Romantic-era composers Chopin (intro, main riff, solo) and Dvořák (Chorus). Miyako's piano intro is Chopin's "Étude Op. 10, No. 12 in C minor", aka the "Revolutionary Étude". If you want to see more of Miyako on the piano, she reimagined and translated Helloween's "Eagle Fly Free" into a piano cover : ua-cam.com/video/-h3BLRs0Xr4/v-deo.html . You guys stay safe from the hurricane !
Thank you so much! Your comments are always so insightful! Appreciate you always 🍻♥️
@@TJandTheGringa I love your reactions, so you're more than welcome ! 🤘
I'm glad you mentioned the Chopin motifs. Not many comment on it. But it seems so obvious.
Epilogue Epilogue Epilogue must listen Gringa will def. have tears in her eyes its awsome.
I agree!
Gringas softer reactions are such an honest interpretations of just how talented these Ladies truely are .. nice to see 👌👌
Yes, but first "Empty Daydream", then "Epilogue" - then we accomplish all "E"-songs in an emotional row, because they'd already experienced "Edge of the World" . . .
@@kgspollux6998 I don't understand why "Empty Daydream" first...
Yes, for sure. Epilogue is so damn good. The perfect album closer.
Great and emotional reaction, thanks!!! Please stay safe during the hurricane!!!
Thank you so much!! 💖
I love your reactions. You are my favorite couple. The Gringa's reaction is the best because she showed her emotions a lot more.
Miyako started taking piano lessons when she was 3 years young. Last year she released a 6 song EP with 5 metal covers and a LOVEBITES cover.
Your next reaction should be her cover of Helloween's Eagle Fly Free followed by the Studio live by LOVEBITES.
You will be amazed by both versions.
Stay safe and I will be looking forward to more reactions.
Peace and LOVEBITES!
🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺
❤️❤️🍻🍻
I've watched this reaction many times, 10+ maybe. Great reaction, absolutely great as all of your reactions but this reaction is something else..... I like your surprise on the end when Miyako is back on piano....speechless
Thank you so much‼️💓🩵🤍💜
This is why I like to watch reaction videos; We spectators all know what's coming next . . . and then enjoy the real emotions of the reactor(s) - finding the same emotional expression as we had ourselves, when listening to that piece the first time !
There is no band like Lovebites. No other band can touch them, no even close
The last notes on the piano bring sadness because it's then when the swan dies.
You can say it a million times and it will always be true! Lovebites is impressive and sustainable!
Great reaction! I knew you guys were going to love this, one of the legendary performances from these amazing ladies. I can get tears from this too, and so many reactors report goosebumps from their performances. 🎹🎸🤘🐺😂🤘
Thank you for all your LB reactions. They're simply amazing. And yes the world need to know them. Love from Paris.
💞
@@TJandTheGringa I discovered them in 2017 and was immediately hooked. To date, no metal band has reached such a level of maturity and talent in such a short space of time.
@@TJandTheGringa In January 2025, the band will hold their largest ever domestic tour, the "ETERNAL PHONOMENON TOUR, which will visit various Zepp venues and the hometowns of the band members .
The tour will kick off in Fukuoka on Sunday, January 26th, and include a total of nine shows in Kagawa (Midori's hometown), Osaka (Miyako's hometown), Aichi, Hokkaido (Asami's hometown), Miyagi, Niigata, Shizuoka (Haruna's hometown), and Tokyo (Fami's hometown) . They will be performing with a special set list that includes songs from their latest EP, "LOVEBITES EP Il," their signature hits, as well as older songs that will be performed for the first time in live shows .
@@TJandTheGringa Your videos are a pleasure to watch. Thank you for your work.❤️
Thank YOU for the awesome comments. We learn so much from you guys!!
We love both Miho & Fami ^.^
A comment from a true fan of the band!👍🙏
@@GrayFox14 Miho had an instinctual groove---- very smooth. Fami's age and appearance conceal the soul of a natural entertainer and VERY aggressive bass player.
@@HowardGraves-e4k I like both Miho and Fami (as bassists).
There is a brainwashing cult called "Miho's Witnesses", they always sing "Oh sole Miho".
If a LOVEBITES fan also likes Fami, then he is demonized as a Fami fan, true story.
Lovebites masterpiece!❤
This song was my love of first sight of Lovebites. ❤😍
That last part also gets me every time I listen to it. Why, why, why the hell aren't these ladies world wide superstars?
- They're quite unknown outside Japan;
- The international entertainment industry hasn't got aware of them yet;
- The international finance world hasn't yet realized how to make a million-dollar-business with these ladies by promoting and lifting them above the level of a small freaky community of metal-fans.
All are immenesly talented and incredible to watch, but Miyako is mesmerizing.
The pioneering and historic phase of Lovebites with Miho. An impressive journey of originality and virtuosity. 🤘🤘🤘🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🔥🔥🔥
Someone else somewhere mentioned that there is a beauty in their music that is beyond the earthly realm. The music of the spheres----something. It taps into our unconscious.
Miyako - her masterpiece - your reaction is perfect. This song sits in my top five of all Lovebites songs, but every time I hear it, it becomes #1 again 🤘🎸🐺
💓🩵🤍
You 2 are so great. Thank you for continuing reacting and supporting Lovebites, the most talented ladies in metal. Please check out "Epilogue" next. Miyako can make her guitar cry. So melodic and soulful.
Thank you so much!! Stay tuned!!
Wait ! After "Edge of the World", initially: "Empty Daydream", and finally: "Epilogue" - let's follow the dramatic choreography . . .
🤘🏼🎸🎤🥁🐺❤️🔥🇯🇵🇮🇹 Miyako is a goddess of music!! Lovebites Queens 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
They say hard work can match up to talent. Well, when talent puts in the hard work, you get Miyako. ...And Midori. ...Ah, heck, you get this whole band. I think Swan Song is my favorite song of theirs. But it's tough, cause all their songs are so good.
Swan Song gets to me every time I hear it. I know we have SSS, but Swan Song is something very very special.
@@HowardGraves-e4k Absolutely right. Soldier Stands Solitarily (Not gonna lie, took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out that abbreviation. lol) is an epic song, that showcases everyone's talents as it slams full speed ahead. Don't wanna say much more than that, because I'm pretty sure they haven't reacted to it yet.
I think what wins me over in Swan Song is the beauty of it. You get the epic talents, and hard hitting sound, but it's also delivered in a moving way that not many can pull off, and sound natural while doing it.
Its ok..we reacted to SSS 😃..Fuckin amazing track from beginning to end! From the second Midori taps the first note its ON!
❤️LOVEBITESRULES❤️
Hellooo. I discovered this great band in 2019 and every year they have grown, more and more. I am going to propose some ideas and then you decide. I propose a reaction to the song "Rising" but it would be nice if you made a program ,with the three versions of this song.1 - the official video clip version. 2- the live version 3- an acoustic version, which is a delight, with Miyako on the piano and Asami on vocals. On the other hand, I also recommend the song "Journey to the otherside", a tribute song to Miho's deceased father. If you really want to see Miyako's enormous talent on the piano, I also recommend a reaction to the song "Eagle Fly Free" by the band Helloween, performed on the piano by Miyako, a work of art. And finally I continue to recommend, over and over again, the metal ballad "Epilogue", a beautiful ballad. A big hug
Nada cambia con ellos,talento puro escuches lo que ellos componen,piel de terciopelo,un placer,sera un viaje extraordinario musical,larga vida y saludos
Igualmente Amigo!! 🍻
I've said it before and i'll say it again, Lovebites for metal and Band-Maid for rock, the perfect 1-2 punch coming out of Japan
Don't let the hurricane blow you away (that's LOVEBITES' job!) and stay safe!
talent and hard work = MIYAKO
Nightwish have their "Metal Mozart" (Tuomas) and Lovebites have their "Metal Chopin" (Miyako). What a great artist in many ways! Nightwish is still my No. 1 favourite band but Lovebites more and more become my No. 2. Yesterday I showed some of their music videos to a friend who did not know this band. Her first reaction was: When you hear that Lovebites come to Germany or the Netherlands (she lives near the frontier) please tell me. I would like to go to a concert of them. She - as me - instantly has fallen in love with this genious band. And this song really is something special, one of my favourite Lovebites songs. I always need tissues, especially at the end of the song during Miyako's piano playing. Also here Asami shows some of her ballet movements in a very graceful way.
Masterpiece.
Hello again I am commenting, Lovebites... I saw them live this June, I am a musician is I have played live, I have seen many great bands live, but here we are total madness. you are right 5 artificial intelligence. Some things about them: Fami on bass was flying smiling with all his tightrope lines and turns. Midori an Amazone and unique style a monster. Haruna I didn't think such a tiny woman contained that amount of energy, fantastic and impressive. Asami a Metal soprano, I was in the front row under Miyaco but I could hear her natural voice over the microphone, mentally ill, disarming...... and then my Goddess, Miyaco what can I say, after SWAN SONG just finished, she was two meters away from me I looked at her and with gestures I said "you are not normal" and worshiped him for fun, She smiled at me a little embarrassed waving, and I died.. Miyaco also plays very well, the bass, the drums. Did you know that he also sings well' in "Empty Daydream" he does the counterpoint to Asami, I couldn't believe it, EVEN THE VOICE!!!!! come on pleaseee. an Alien Goddess.
💚💚 Miyako is simply Amazing!!
Not Fami on bass, it is Miho.
Miyako Magic!
Miyako-this is not only talanted,its a nature gift.
Miyako is a Nature gift.
There not such wirds to describe Miyako.
She is just Miyako.
One and only
💯‼️
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wolfpack❤️🔥Forever
Y sí, también se me salieron las lágrimas de emoción cuando ví por primera vez este video, gracias por la reacción🤘🏻
❤️
That "Thunder Vengeance" performance that you probably mean (with the flashes and thunder at the start) was the opener to exactly THIS show!
There's more or less no difference between "Five Of A Kind" (name of the 2CD/DVD/Blu-ray) and "Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020" (venue, place of the preformance). There may once be a "Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2025", but we are not there yet!
I may be wrong, but the difference in THIS precise song might be that the grand piano entrance at the end is not so transparently captured in the other recording. Not sure, as there are several Live versions of the greatest songs floating around.
You guys are just too cool! i really enjoy your channel! much love from Atl, GA
Love Atlanta!! Thank you so much 😎💘💓
Miyako is the Black Swan. A once-in-a-generation talent, coupled with intense dedication and hard work.
Great reaction, thanks. Keep up the good work. You didn't finished "E songs trilogy" (songs beginning with "E"). You've reacted to "Edge of the world", two more to go, "Empty daydream" & "Epilogue".
There is another song with increadible piano intro it's Lost in the garden with la campanela ( Franz Liszt) in intro.
Empty Daydream by Lovebites, with Rachmaninoff piano intro by Miyako is also amazing! (Tokyo 2019)
Yes, the second "E"-song . . . .after that: "Epilogue" . . .
#Tequillajimmy
#Lagringa
Excellent reaction as always.
A recommendation for your LOVEBITES WEDNESDAY . Pick up SPELLBOUND live from the Tokyo Dome city hall 2021during the Ride For Vengeance tour. It's another song with piano and you will see how Miyako can be funny on stage.
Miyako start piano at 3 years old and start guitar at 17 years old.
As you really love Lovebites and Miho. You must react to "Journey to the other side" live.
This song Miho wrote as a tribute to her father when he passed out is clearly not the best song from Lovebites. But when you witness the emotions from the band here. You can understand why they never ever ever played it again live.
Im an old metalhead and not easily shear a tear. But every time i watch this one i becomes liquid.
There will NEVER be another Miyako. Truly the 8th wonder of the musical world. To be able to experience it in the present, in her prime is an absolute blessing. Hendrix was before my time, never got to experience him at all; being a once in a lifetime musician. Miyako is my Hendrix. But that ending...chills even after the 1000 time listening. Great selection to react to. Recommend Above The Black Sea live 2019 ua-cam.com/video/eXDvzmjlA6g/v-deo.htmlsi=vkJK4gl-1njIin0c. Miyako's intro solo is superb. 🤘
Miyako is also the most background singer.
Another masterpiece from Lovebites love you guys ❤
Love you back‼️♥️
You're certainly spot-on about all members being elite. Not only are we fortunate enough to witness Miyako flex her musical chops, we also get to witness the artistry of Midori, Miho, and Haruna. On top of all this, we see Asami's portrayal of The Swan. It's my understanding that The Swan dies at the end, while we are mesmerized by Miyako's brilliant outro. I, for one, would have loved to see that too. I guess that's why you buy the ticket.
Miyako started at age 4 with the piano, she started playing guitar at 18. Her grandfather bought her first guitar, an Ibanez. She also played brass instruments in her youth like the trombone.
yeah, and she also plays bass and drums and she sings multitalented, and in an interview they asked: "what instruments do you play? en she said "yes".... she is sooo fr*** good
Funny, that Midori started playing piano in the year when Miyako was born, but they both started playing guitar probably in the same year (2008, plus/minus 1 year). Common info is that Miyako started piano at the age of 3. Where did you get the 4?
@@rainerzufall42 Midori started at age 3 on the piano, Miyako at 4 !
@@obud3777 This contradicts everything I've read so far... although by just 1 year.
@@obud3777 Sorry. The ladies themselves said that they started playing the piano:
Midori - when she was 2 years old,
Miyako - when she was 3 years old,
Miho - when she was 5 years old
thank you, 😊
Qué onda con esa gringa y ese Jimmy. Je, je. I really appreciate all of your support to Lovebites. This is another masterpiece by these phenomenal women. Yes, Miyako is primarily a concert level classical pianist. This concert is appropriately called “Five of a kind”, first with Miho and now with Fami. Once more, I highly recommend Miyako’s piano rendition of Helloween’s “Eagle fly free”, posted on the Lovebites UA-cam official channel.
Thank you! ♥️
We Japanese are also concerned about another major hurricane on the Florida peninsula.
Our prayer is that there will be no serious damage.
Can’t go wrong with Chopin..Kanami, Miyako 🔥❤️
How not to love Lovebites.
Some additional information
Miho has been fond of hard rock and heavy metal since elementary school and started playing bass in high school. His favorite bands are Iron Maiden, Pantera, Mötley Crüe and Anthrax. He referred to his playing as more charisma than technique, and cited Steve Harris as a strong influence alongside Nikki Sixx's style.
Haruna has been playing drums since the age of thirteen and began writing songs on the keyboard at fourteen. From elementary school to high school, his favorite band was B'z, but he became interested in heavy metal after listening to Helloween's Master of the Rings. As a result, she has stated that her basic drumming style is that of Uli Kusch.
Midori began learning piano at age two and electric organ at age eight, but gave up both when she entered university and began learning guitar at age 20. She is a graduate of the Musicians Institute Japan in Osaka, and lists Kiko Loureiro, Nuno Bettencourt and Yngwie Malmsteen as his biggest guitar influences. In general, Midori said she plays the band's "flashy and aggressive" guitar solos, while Miyako plays the "slower, more melodic" solos.
Miyako has played classical piano since she was three years old and guitar since middle school. Growing up listening to classic rock bands like Deep Purple and Rainbow with her mother, Miyako ended up being greatly influenced by Ritchie Blackmore. But she was also influenced by more modern guitarists such as Polyphia's Timothy Henson and Scott LePage. It was Ettore Rigotti from Disarmonia Mundi who chose her to start composing and arranging songs.
Asami has a background in R&B and soul music and likes artists like Alicia Keys and Aretha Franklin. Starting at the age of two, she took classical ballet for about 16 years before moving to America after high school to study jazz and hip hop dance.
Fami played piano and violin before starting to learn bass in high school at the request of a friend. She plays finger style, explaining that she gave up trying to play with a pick because she found it "impossible". Since there are two guitars on Lovebites, Fami believes the bass needs to have a harsh, distorted sound.
Ähm, Miho is a woman. And there exist words like "she" and "her" (instead of "he" and "his"). Only to mention this.
This performance reminds me of a University teacher who once told me that German Philosopher Martin Heidegger's (Born: 26 September 1889) works, Being and Time (Sein und Zeit), had been translated into Japanese at least seven times. I can understand how the best of Japanese minds had always wanted to outsmart the Occidental world in their own game, be it music, philosophy or technology. Cheers to all the Wolfpack community, fraternity and all those metal fans out there. 🙂
That part where the band stops playing with Haruna's cymbal work as Miyako plays is just beautiful.
Love Lovebites 🐺🤘🏴

Very beautiful reaction guys, you are amazing. Siete bravissimi, grazie dal Wolfpack Italiano 🥰
🤍🩵
As usual, a great and insightful reaction to the awesome lovebites, they are, as individuals, top tier musicians throughout, as a band they are in my obviously unbiased opinion, the most talented band ever. Asami's vocals and stage presence are mesmerising to see and hear, Haruna is unstoppable, my No.1 drummer, Midori is one of, if not the best shredders in the business, and has so much stage presence, her facial expressions are great, Miyako is just Miyako The Golden Touch says it all, Miho was/is so good on the bass and as a song writer, and as the main founder of the band, along with Haruna, will always be remembered with ❤, I don't think anyone else but Fami would have been able to fit in with them, and she's still so young, unbelievable. You have so much more to hear from them yet,,and I for 1, look forward to seeing your faces on Wednesdays. 🤘🎤🥁🎹🎸🐺. Stay safe
Please keep safe! Wine sounds like a good way to spend a hurricane, to be honest.
It takes guts - or good knowledge of your audience - to play Chopin at a metal concert and have the audience love it!
Miyako has played the piano since age 3 and started learning the guitar at 20, roughly, so she's 'only' played guitar for 12-13 years. She also plays bass and drums so you could call her musically gifted.
But this performance is almost 5 years old, so Miyako plays guitar since ca. 2008 (same for Midori), when she was 18/19. That's now 16 years ago.
私もエンディングで全く同じ状態になりました。ヘビーメタルの曲で涙が出たのは初めてでした。。。。。
🧡🧡
LOVEBITES is playing a top notch 'precious' kind of "Eclectic Metal" (combining several music directions existing with metal distortion, heaviness and a certain amount of emotional triggering relentlessness).
Come together, fans of every genre. Listen to them - it's worth doing that . . .
Miyako was 3 when she started playing the piano
The Miyako Show!!!! She's my favorite musician for many reasons. Guitar, piano, composing & arranging - all highlighted in this masterpiece. And don't kid yourself about thrash - Asami & Miyako have already shown they can do it with songs like "DIssonance" and "Where's Identity".
Just to give you a quick heads up about the Pilgrim guy who's having a back-and-forth with you in the Adventura reaction. I have been monitoring this guy for a while now and I have a strong suspicion that he might be you-know-who in disguise. He says a lot of good things in general but he tends to subtly attack the reactors or band members when the opportunity arises. The Davie04 comment in your thread there showed his true colors. A true Lovebites fan will never attack Fami like this. I'm not 100% sure about him yet, but just be aware, and I'm continuing my "observations" of this person.
@@boyzyu Thanks for the heads-up.
Do I see emotion and a desire to cry? Now get a box of tissues ready Lovebites - Epilogue Cry, cry... ua-cam.com/video/JIAJYBuuKGM/v-deo.html
Wow, so many people immediately thought of "Epilogue" to make her cry. I'll have to agree...
Miyako was happy to ride a self-driving taxi on her channel yesterday.
ua-cam.com/video/Uqg0nOIndMA/v-deo.htmlsi=6DEv4lzXT15vtG1x
I now understand why americans are sooo loud, i just watched this :

and hell, the background noise is sooo extreme, no wonder when people there always have to shout so anyone can understand them.
And else .. driversless taxis, seriously
🔥LOVEBITESRULES🔥
Todo lo que ellas hacen es maravilloso.
Cuando reaccionen a Epilogue será el mismo sentimiento ❤
If You want to see something different, watch an "old" exhibition at Waken (Germany) live: "Above to the black sea" (about the story of one Kamikaze). This song is from a trilogy about the WWII, the others are: "Under the red sky" and "Apocalypse" about the Nuclear Bombs on Japan. In this show of Wacken, You can see he real crowd control of Asami! Thank You! Oh, i can suggest you also one song of Lovebites: Rising but in a live version only Asami (voice) and Miyako (piano), very emotional!
You guys really admire Miyako's piano skills... then you MUST check out this Miyako piano piece -> ua-cam.com/video/-h3BLRs0Xr4/v-deo.html will blow your mind!!!

Asami-san (piano)
Fami-chan (bass guitar, electric guitar, 🎻violin・piano)🤗
It's always helpful to think of Miyako as a pianist who also plays the guitar . Trained from the age of 3 to concert level standard it also explains her amazing writing and arrangement capabilities .
BTW if you want to check out Miyako in one of her " off duty " moments this , posted on her own channel when the band was on tour in San Francisco , is really cute ( she takes a ride in one of the Waymo driverless cabs ! ) - ua-cam.com/video/Uqg0nOIndMA/v-deo.html
Miyako started playing piano 🎹 at age 3. She picked up the guitar 🎸 at 18 and is self taught on guitar 🎸
Savage‼️
Midori💚💚💚💚💚 Miho💜💜💜💜💜
She is better on piano than guitar IMHO, but she is a demon on the guitar. Her recent EP of 6 metal songs she converted to classical pieces is a stunning piece of music from a musical savant. She has been trained on piano from age 3 (thus her stoic stage persona where the instrument plays the music not the musician) but her brain needed a challenge so at 18 she self taught the guitar!! While her talent is a rare gift, nonetheless, it is her dedication and relentless practice that has made her this great at all the instruments she plays. She is an equipment nerd, mother, Star Wars fanatic and so much more (check out her YT channel for a personal view of her offstage). Also her genius is blessed with insanely talented band-mates who can play her creations to perfection especially LIVE.
Perfectly Stated. Excellent Comment!! Thank you! 💞
In exactly a week I travel to Tokyo so I can see the matinee and soirée of “A Day with Miyako”, two piano recitals which include her arrangements of various rock pieces. I saw the soirée last year when she did this for the first time and it is utterly spellbinding. Sadly, as last year, the soirée (of a mere 300 tickets) has yet to sell out, though last year’s did pretty late on. Might sound weird but that offends me because with such talent the auditorium (which is beautiful) should have been sold out in the fan club initial lottery months ago. It is to the eternal shame of the Wolfpack that this should happen twice. Please, next time you watch this video of Swansong notice that as the stage darkens and Miyako begins her solo outro, Asami performs the Dying Swan (and does so every time).
Writing this awesome stuff is her biggest talent IMO
