    This is one of my favorite LBs songs. It is not only a tribute to Beethoven, it is also a testament to the genius writing of Miyako. She wrote this in the form of a Beethoven Sonata - three movements and a coda (ending). In the first and third movements, she put in (almost note for note) a piece of the 3rd movement of Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata." The first movement of that sonata is recognized by almost everyone and it represents Beethoven's sadness at losing his hearing. The third movement expresses his rage. She could have used the more well-known first movement, but used the lesser known third movement because she was looking for rage and not sadness. In a lot of Beethoven's music, he uses a lot of dissonance in the 2nd movement. Miyako used dissonance in her second movement by having those incredibly dissonant guitar solos - the most dissonant guitar solos that LB has ever used. And her coda (ending) would fit in with any piece of classical music. Only someone who has a solid grasp of Beethoven's music, and a thorough understanding of music theory could have written this song.

    LOVEBITES - Dystopia Symphony lyrics & credits:
    Like it's an end of world
    Making me fall apart
    Pushing me to the edge of the darkness
    Taking my breath away, and now it taking away my emotion
    Why was I the one He chosen
    Hear me cry when I'm running away from the storm
    It's almost right behind me
    The shade of moon above, wandering high in sky
    Following everywhere in a silence
    The shower of the light melting into the sleeping deep night
    Lost in maze, it's all I hear now
    Echo in my mind from far away
    Wish to hold it in my heart to feel the love
    Sadness, madness, edginess, and sense of loss
    Breaking through tragedy, somewhere
    There is much more to see beyond
    I stand to face bravely
    God, Heavenly light
    Shining in deep beneath
    Bringing a life to crystal bloom
    Heavenly bless
    Lay me in peace with this melody
    SOLO: midori / miyako / both
    Like it's an end of world
    Making me fall apart
    Pushing me to the edge of the darkness
    Taking my breath away, and now it taking away my emotion
    Why was I the one He chosen
    Hear me cry when I'm running away from the storm
    It's almost right behind me
    Sadness, madness, edginess, and sense of loss
    Breaking through tragedy, somewhere
    There is much more to see beyond
    I stand to face bravely
    God, Heavenly light
    Shining in deep beneath
    Bringing a life to crystal bloom
    Heavenly bless
    Lay me in peace with this melody
    Heavenly light
    Shining in deep beneath
    Bringing a life to crystal bloom
    Heavenly bless
    Lay me in peace with this melody

    This is one of my favourite Lovebites songs, and one of my favourite solo sections from them. I'd love them to explore this direction a little more in the future. It definitely feels like an underappreciated and under-reacted to song, but it's exceptional. There's only one recorded setlist with this on it, and as that was in Japan, it wasn't recorded because recording isn't allowed without express permission. However, they've said they're playing rarely performed songs on their upcoming tour, so hopefully this will make an appearance then!

    I'm so glad you guys did this ! This was my fav Lovebites song until "Soldier Stands Solitarily" came along. For me, "Dystopia Symphony" is a seamless and very innovative blend of prog/neoclassical metal/speed-power metal/and a bit of thrash thrown in. This track exemplifies the compositional & arrangement prowess of Miyako. As you have mentioned, she composed this song as a tribute to Beethoven when the maestro was coming to terms with his hearing loss. In this track, you can clearly hear the Beethoven motifs from the 3rd movement of "Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-Sharp Minor, Op. 27, No. 2" (aka "Moonlight Sonata") and "Piano Sonata No. 8 in C minor, Op. 13" (aka "Sonata Pathétique"). The band has not played this song LIVE yet and we hope that'll change in the very near future. BTW, there're 2 separate sessions to Asami's X'mas special tomorrow night and I'll be in both streams. See you guys there !

I would probably have 4 of the same 5 when all the nit-picking is done; I am more of a Metal "savant", so I would probably reserve one place for some of the Metal pioneers... but LOVEBITES need not worry about their spot - a credit of confidence, sure, but my gut tells me they are the FUTURE.

    Thanks for the reaction. Unfortunately, 99% of Reactors don't check 'Dystopia Symphony'. One of the reasons why this happens is that fans very rarely tell Reactors about this song.
    'Dystopia Symphony'(lyrics-Asami / music-Miyako) is one of my favorite LOVEBITES songs. After I heard 'Dystopia Symphony' for the first time (in 2021), Miyako became the Mozart of the 21st century for me.
    I believe that in terms of song structure (composition), 'Dystopia Symphony' is the pinnacle of Miyako's skill as a composer. To date, 'Dystopia Symphony' is the Best of the Best songs Miyako has ever composed.
    Miyako has said in interviews that classical music and metal have a lot in common. This is one of the reasons why she, a classical pianist, became a metal guitarist. Miyako adds her love for classical music to many of the LOVEBITES songs while composing. Songs such as 'Dystopia Symphony' (2021) and 'Lost in the Garden' (2023, lyrics by Asami / music by Miyako), 'Swan Song' (2020, lyrics by Asami / music by Miyako) most clearly show Miyako's passion for classical music.

    That intro was very Beethoven! And that orchestral/organ breakdown was very Prog Metal - with extra noodles and spicy sauce! Beethoven was pretty Metal for his day - he widened the scope of the sonata, symphony, concerto and quartet and was, eventually, a sort of independent artist too, with patrons who paid him to stay in Vienna but left him free to write his own stuff rather than paid-for compositions!

He did not even bother to changing the original melodies.. And so the most of the classical composers. Say that they did not create music, they only re-arranged what was already written?
      Miyako composes her own music, the melodies are her own compositions. And she could compose a lot of great music, great melody lines and harmonies, while others basically produce rock sounds and rarely manage to arrange the sounds into a melody.

    This was played live once, at the show that was played the day after the Heavy Metal Never Dies show, and they switched this with Spellbound. I wish they had recorded both show.
    It is programmed orchestra, Miyako have done that on a few song, and Thunder Vengeance has an orchestral version that was released on the Golden Destination single, which was only a physical release that also contained Spellbound and Puppet on Strings, and because of that these two song has never been released on Spotify, and Spellbound only exist on Spotify as a live version.

    A couple months ago I joined Miyako 's live stream and along with many others we requested this song. She finally played a short piano version.
    LOVEBITES was recently at the Judas Priest concert and took pictures with the band.
    I would love if they played Painkiller live after Haruna's drum solo.
    It would be great if they did a collaboration with Judas Priest.
    Watch you guys next Wednesday for another great reaction.

    "God... Heavenly light". LOVEBITES even Beethoven. :) This is the best use the Presto Agitato part of the "Moonlight" sonata has been put to since the original! Laced with more influences and citations, but it is the "Moonlight" at the core. Several Rock and Metal bands have done it, including TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA, DARK MOOR, and someone important I forget. :) But no one with this amount of tension and - well - anguish! This does not sound "Classical", if we did not know better, it sounds human. And shows some Progressive strains that hint at one part of the Metal world the gals have not yet explored so much. Makes me "hung" with excitement about what they do when they, eventually, go there! All the complex details with a fitting touch of cacophony that, they say, is experienced by a person losing their hearing, just make this song a fitting mix of madness and prayer! Not one for the uninitiated, perhaps, but no one to fit that description will randomly find this! :D

    I believe the drums you were referring to during the Symphony are the Tympani. I used to play these in Jr. High during the concert season (spring). Nice since we came in second place for 'All City Band'. I had just started school there and became lead percussionist and the school had just hired a new Band Director. All the years before that they were in last place.

    Lovebites has a song called Dissonance, I'm sure you've heard of it, and there's a live version. It sounds like they took a giant sheet of music with no notes on it, then took a 5" house paint brush, dipped it in black paint, and slung it at the music sheet (still holding the brush) and left black dots all over the paper and said, "THAT's WHAT WE'RE GOING TO PLAY". And everybody made a Tequila Jimmy face and said "HUH".

    Great Reaction as usual and I do believe they did this one live once if I’m not misinformed so, since You almost reached the half catalog mark, You might want to either do a Miyako run of 8 songs as follows, “No Time To Hesitate” “The Crusade” “Addicted” “Pleadge Of A Saviour” “Wicked Witch” “Signs Of Deliverance” “Above The Black Sea” and “Today Is The Day” or a Thrash run of 4 as follows “MDO” “Where’s Identity” “Dissonance” and “ Paranoia”, if You do all twelve You will reach the 2/3 mark and there will only be about 20 songs left to experience. Anyways, keep em´coming.

    I also hope that one day this song will be performed live. However, I also feel that this song is difficult to adapt to live performances. I feel that the key element of DYSTOPIA SYMPHONY is the miraculous combination of super-fast guitar and piano, and Asami's vocals. It seems that the important piano part in particular needs to be played with exquisite timing. LOVEBITES solves this problem in live performances by using backing tracks in other songs. However, this song seems to require too tight timing, what do you think? .

Regardless, many LB songs have been wondered by skeptical fans to questionable for their ability to perform live, and these talented LB ladies have proven them wrong. Asami has mentioned that in their coming 2025 tour in Japan, they will perform many of their songs that they have not previously played live. Most of their songs LB fans are early anticipating DS and its accompanying song ‘ Paranoia ‘ from the same EP “ 5:02 Glory to The World “ will very likely debut on this tour. Since it’ll be in Japan, I’m hoping it may be part of the Miyakp piano solo show piece in their set list. When it happens, it'll be epic. Can’t wait.

    The pictures could be from 2008, because the Lovebites band members at that time wore the same style of clothing in Wacken 2008 and, most importantly, Midori had long black hair and Miyako's hair was this reddish brown tone - furthermore, Miyako usually stood on the right side of the stage in Wacken and Midori on the left - from the band's point of view - this is usually the other way around in current performances.
