Hi there Mr "Shade". If you want more understanding of Fami's bass skills. Visit her own homepage on YT and select 2 short songs she performs at her apartment. First song is named "Alien alien" and the other one is only written in japanese and that one is 2.09 minutes long. Just scroll down her page to the correct time lenght of the song. The songs are both around the 2 minute mark. Your brain wont function correctly right after you have listened to and seen those 2 songs. Please do a reaction 🙏 You can thank me later...or not 😉. Edit: I think both performances is 5 years old. She was only 17 years old back then.
LOVEBITES and BAND MAID were twice in the same stage on some festival in JAPAN. HARUNA and AKANE are friends and usually go to eat together. Also MIYAKO and MAYU (vocalist from Nemophila) are fishing mates, there are photos of both fishing. LOVEBITES, NEMOPHILA and BAND MAID used to support each others by going to the concert of the other bands.

Miyako is alot more engaging and animated than what these videos show. Fami is sunshine in human form. Haruna is constantly smiling, throwing her hair around and doing stick tricks. Lovebites was in Dallas last September. They will be back.
The HELLFEST was their first time. They've 30 min during lunch time of the Friday. LOVEBITES make a hugh impression to the french music press. I'm french but I was in that festival clause to my home ( too expensive) , I went to Paris concert 3 days before. It was a banger. The best time in my life since a long time ago. 🇨🇵
Nice double reaction! This performance is definitely in my top 5 of theirs, a masterpiece of metal. The crowd surfing would annoy me because if I would be there with these ladies slaying this song, I want all my attention on the band. Let's see if you can say the words "this is my favorite song" again, so many you haven't heard yet, what is your favorite LOVEBITES song? All of them! Rock on! 🎸🔥🤘🐺🤘
Really great reaction 🎉, thanks for taking your time to enjoy this masterpiece, I have a lot favorite songs from Lovebites but this song have an special place in my heart... It's a perfect metal song 🤘
One of the greatest metal performances and songs of all time. My favorite band of all time and no one even comes close! Haruna is a really happy and comfortable drummer. So good. I think the camera just catches her a lot in the middle of something where she's in full concentration. There's some fun drum cams of her out there. The one of her in studio from a few years ago is good (its about 7 minutes long and shows her playing parts of a few songs). She's awesome. Really shy in person, but no fear on stage. She's just focused on absolutely obliterating her drum kit! I love in this performance they showed more of her and caught her singing a few times, her feet going non-stop. She's unreal. They all are. Also, there's no wrong order to react to their songs. They're all amazing. Its just sometimes it pays off to build up to certain performances. The more you listen to them, the more you see different things and the more you'll love them. They bring something to surprise you in literally every song. Every next song you hear will be your favorite for a while, add to what you think about them, and excite you when you come back to it. That said, this performance is up there in the off the wall category. Just a crazy, crazy display of metal mastery, stage presence and wonder. They sound amazing live and in person. The sound in this fan video isn't great. There's some better ones out there. Even without post production on live official videos, they sound amazing live. Side note: I see Thunder Vengeance is next! That is my personal favorite song from them!! Mostly I think because its the song that made me fall in love with them when I first discovered them. That song comes out of the gate like a runaway train and just never stops. Love everything about that performance too!
... and this is why I prefer to go watch a band in a venue rather than a festival - festivals are great to have a good time with your pals, but venues are the right place to listen to and watch a band! And having the band one meter from you (litteraly) is even better (even if the mix is unbalanced frontstage of course). I spent the whole belgian concert of that tour in front of Miyako, she really is an amazing player!
@@obud3777 At the Prog Power festival I was in the front row which was about 2 meters away from the edge of the stage. Fami would come right out to the edge and lean forward so she was really close.
I got to experience this song live when I saw Lovebites at 'The Garage' in London on 1st July last year. It would be no exaggeration to say it was one of the high points of an amazing evening. I saw Lovebites twice last year during the European leg of their world tour, and despite the venues being less than ideal, especially the first gig in London, they were never less than superb. For me I think the stand out was Haruna. I have huge respect for all 5 members (and ex member Miho) but seeing just how tiny Haruna is, and then experiencing the power of her playing was a revelation. At some points my chest was vibrating with the volume of sound from her double kick bass. If the chance to see Lovbites play ever comes your way, do take it, you will not be disappointed. As others have said in the comments, the members of Lovebites and Band-Maid know and support each other. This seems to be a general theme in the Japanese rock and metal scene. There seems to none of the ego that has in the past damaged so many bands from Europe and America, just a shared desire to be as good as each member can be and contribute to the success of all. 🐺
Lovebites are absolutely flawless from every angle, they are the queens of Metal. But with this song and the renditions of it the band shows itself invincible. Never heard and seen such a demonstration of musical power and excellence. Every nanosecond of this is a piece of heaven.
Why don't BAND-MAID and LOVEBITES collaborate? Why don't MISA and FAMI collaborate? The answer is because people who see them get too excited, have heart attacks, and die! LOL! 😇
The reason why Lovebites and Band-Maid have never performed together is because of the danger of the audience's hearts and minds exploding at the amount of raw skill, power and energy on stage.
A week before that Hellfest performance I saw them in a Club in Germany along with 600 die-hard LOVEBITES Fans, what is quite the opposite of a crowd of 40,000 where probably the majority never heard of them before. There the focus of course was 100% on the band and I had the once-in-a-lifetime experience to see Miyako playing her solos 1 meter in front of me 😊
Hi from France: Hellfest is in France and LOVEBITES is almost unknown here. The festival programmers gave them just 30 minutes between two headliners and at a time when everyone is thinking about eating between noon and two. In short, the majority of the audience didn't come for our favorite band... As proof, the French metal press (paper, radio and web) neglected LOVEBITES and were only interested in the headliners and a few local or Western bands... What comes from across the Pacific... You know what I mean... LOVEBITES had the opportunity during this tour in Europe to go to a Parisian venue (La Maroquinerie) where they were able to express themselves better. On the other hand, the rest of the dates and festivals in Spain, Scandinavian countries, Belgium or England seem to have gone much better... Enjoy Wolfpack! Almost the same thing happened for Band Maid at Lollapaloosa. The band was introduced to the audience as a simple pop band from Japan. You can see that the crowd on the footage of this concert is small and moderately interested... The organizers are also responsible for their programming!
There is no collaboration with BAND-MAID because of a slightly different genre, but I visited BAND-MAID 10th anniversary live with vocalist-Asami, guitarist-Midori, and drummer-Haruna.
It's a bit tragic that you've only discovered Lovebites now. Because last September they were in Dallas during their world tour. I would be really annoyed...😄😄😄
Lovebites and Band Maid collab is not a good idea commercially and I don't think serious fans of those bands want it either but may be you do. I just don't understand Haruna looks scary. She is all smiling and friendly.
Oh, I took a look at your list and you miss a lot of iconic songs there: Trash Metal: "Break the wall" Ballads: "Empty Daydream", "Epilogue" Rock: "A Frozen Serenade" ( 2021 LIVE in Tokyo with lyrics ), "Liar" (OLV taken from "Knockin' At Heaven's Gate"), "Journey to the Other Side" (Live in Tokyo 2019 with lyrics, Miho wrote it for her father who passed early), "Spellbound" ( Lovebites take on 80s pop rock, Miyako smiles, even if she just acts, it's still a treat ;) Power Metal: "Shadowmaker" ( OMV, there are amazing closeups of them playing and they are soo young here, it also features the most amazing solo section and no live performance does it justice imo ), "Glory to the World" OMV, "When Destinies Allign" ( OMV, they dress up as samurai - fun ) At least half of their catalogue are instant classics, so there is more great songs to discover, but I've tried to list the most iconic ones, that are missing on the list.
Great reaction..Haruna ain't afraid of nothing !.. Band has to keep up with her..🙂.. Check out "Judgement Day", studio then live.. absolutely amazing as everything they do !
It would be awesome if Lovebites and Band-Maid did a collab. There is a lot of connection between the two bands. Haruna and Akane are good friends. Three members of Lovebites went to Band-Maid's 10th Anniversary concert in Yokohama and Saiki waved to them when she spotted them in the audience. Now that Band-Maid is it's own entity the chances of a collab might be better.
They are phenomenal. All are elite level, but Miyako is just, well Miyako. She's a generational talent IMO. I'm with you she's mesmerizing. I would watch her make coffee. No collabs in sight But Haruna and Akane fron Band-Maid are friends and Miyako and Mayu (Nemophila vocalist) are friends as well. There's a photo of them deep sea fishing online (Can't recall wich site though). As I'm sure others are as well. Many of these all female Japanese bands are higly supportive of each other.
5:35 "Let's go!" And boy did they ever! Looking at you like that kid in the candy store made me love this song even more myself. I have thoughts, which are random, so I'm cutting the babbling and just going in order: - While this is probably the fastest song of their catalogue in bpm, never expect Haruna to be fazed! She is just naturally wide-eyed, which gives her that doe look... see more pics of the band, she and Asami especially are like that; large, hypnotizing eyes to drown in. - They surely know and respect each other with BAND MAIDs, but I am afraid a collab on the same stage would entail a massive risk of unforeseen outcomes, like the stage collapsing or the public spinning out of control... nah, really, I believe the fact that the two bands play a different genre - Hard Rock vs. Heavy Power Metal - must have, thus far, precluded a project together, even though they share a lot of the same fans. Not out of the cards for the future, though. - I would NEVER judge the quality of sound production off a fancam video. The instruments just sound different when recorded in a hall setting, and even more so when taken in open air conditions. What you hear is mostly the vox and the drums, gotta live with it. If you listen to their songs from newer shows, primarily off the "Memorial for the Warrior Souls" concert - the bass, not to mention the whole band - sounds healthy, beefy and very well outlined in the sound picture - it has been thus since the arrival of the "baby bass monster" Fami especially, as the band surely are conscious to feature her! - I usually still seek out the fan videos for the vibes and atmosphere of a show. If you are like me, I would strongly recommend you the (quite good quality) videos from the concert LOVEBITES had at the JUMF festival in South Korea this fall - one fan went to the lengths of including backstage footage and the view on Haruna's drums from the side (must have had a backstage pass!), another filmed the whole concert from a vantage point beside the huge "catwalk" into the crowd that the ladies used to rousing impact, like Fami at one memorable point! :)) The vids are up there for your enjoyment, but if you wish, I will find the links.
Nice reaction 🎉Yes,LOVEBITES and Band-Maid are the two biggest bands in Japan right now.They have never performed together because of the difference between Heavy metal and Hard rock.and LOVEBITES won the top spot in the Power Metal category of the METAL AWARDS 2024 with an overwhelming 53% of the votes (2nd place Kamelot, 3rd place Powerwolf). This is a great honor and shows that they have been recognized worldwide.
wish you discovered these ladies before september of last year cuz they came to the US and played 3 venues here. dallas tx, LA and SF cali. i was fortunate enough to catch them in LA, hopefully they come back this year.
They played SSS at both the gigs of the European tour I went to last summer - yeah it's absolute fire 🔥 Chartreuse is pretty easy to get here in Switzerland. Cheers 🍸🏔
I think. This song is at the highest speed, and the melody of this song is complex. In addition, the performance is perfect! The bass guitar (Fami) and the drum (Haruna) are laughing! I can't believe it! LOVEBITES is the god of modern HEAVY•METAL. In this song, the two members of the rhythm team (HARUNA) and (Fami) are the leaders!😎
one of my favorite songs,.. Miyako started taking classical piano lessons when she was three years old and started playing guitar in high school. Miyako is a composer and arranger too..... by the way Next " Wind of Transylvania" Live version
Please stop comparing Band Maid to LOVEBITES, they are both amazing, but they play different genres of music, Band Maid plays rock, LOVEBITES play metal, different pace of music and different audiences!
If you're interested here's a link to a video I made of them performing this song in Dallas back in September at the Echo Lounge. ua-cam.com/video/npgN4WjL46o/v-deo.htmlsi=ve7_a0VWIsLZyU66
Every song you hear will become your favourite, theirs a long way to go on your #Lovebites journey smiling is compulsory after a Lovebites song. Looking forward to your next reaction Keep up the great work. Regards Wolfpack 🐺 UK 🤘🎸🥁🎤🎹🎶🔥🤯🤘
I sed for you every time you listen new songs for LOVEBITES you will say this my favourite because they are amazing tray one of these songs set the world on fire live 2021 or Break the wall 2020 or Shadow maker 2021 I’m sure you will say the same. Thanks
Subbed and liked your reaktionvideo! I could not see everything clearly on your list (letters were very small) but if you're into fast powermetal with guitarsolos then put up Shadowmaker, When Destinies Align , Glory to the world to your list. Ofcourse Lovebites is great to see in live versions but these three musicvideos are very well edited just as Judgement day is. Maybe do a combination of the mv and a live video, I'll promise you'll love these!
LOVEBITES crazy dual guitars solos.. JUDGEMENT DAY(MV/LIVE), SET THE WORLD ON FIRE, SCREAM FOR ME, WHEN DESTINIES ALIGN(MV/LIVE), SHADOW MAKER(MV/LIVE), SIGN OF DELIVERANCE, BREAK THE WALL, SPELLBOUND(dual guitar and KeyTar solos)...cover song Pain Killer(Judas Priest) Fami channel do bass cover Alien Alien(viewed 11M)
In my opinion, LOVEBITES = Heavy Metal, Symphonic Metal. BAND-MAID = City ROCK, POP ROCK. Their fan bases are somewhat divided. Either way, they are a treasure of Japan.
Gotta like because of the dog, love german shepherds hehe. Its hard to say enough about Lovebites, best power metal band in 2024 award, best new band from Metal Hammer back in 2018, shredding like nobody else, M & M best guitar duo in the world right now for sure, not even one bad song, the list goes on and on... They just make metal great again because of making music from classic heavy, thrash and power metal music from 80ies and 90ies which rarely bands do today and that is what separates them from others. Classical sounds as a base for composing songs which Miyako does and Asami writes, they are simply the best metal band today, no doubt of that...
i would be so down to actually watching a full blown song of the 2 bands would be alot better than the one that band maid did with the other band either last year or the year before. not sure how the colab would work as they are different styles but would be intrigued what the outcome would be
With Lovebites you must use Midori Liquor. :-) But if you like fancam here 2 suggestions. BABYMETAL BxMxC Bruxelle version. Asterism and the song Dawn. Asterism is always fire in front of a crowd.
Unfortunately, when people are crowd surfing straight at you, you HAVE to pay attention to them. I almost had my neck broken at a Flogging Molly show when the people behind us didn't warn us a crowd-surfer was coming, and they actually dropped the guy (pretty big guy, too), straight onto the back of my head and the head of the guy next to me.
I love watching these Japanese ladies bands, you hear the drums and you expect some beefed up cyborg pouding on those things, but when the camera pans to them you see a happy smiling girl barely/not even 5ft, and smacking on those drums like they owe her money....😂😂😂😂
This is the video that made Fami famous with over 11 million views. ua-cam.com/video/Q_UqztwYAOU/v-deo.html FYI- She was only 16 years old at the time.
I was also a big fan of Band-Maid's earlier songs, but the newer songs are no longer my taste. I can't imagine a collaboration with LOVEBITES, but I can with Helloween or Electric Callboy. =>By the way, can I buy your puppy😍, please?
This is my most favorite Lovebites song. Lovebites came to the USA this past September. I saw them at their USA debut concert in Atlanta at the Prog Power festival. Lovebites was the most anticipated band of the entire weekend. I got to meet them to get their autographs (except for Asami) and then was in the front row for their show - right in front of Midori and Fami. It was easily the best concert I have ever been to. They played this song live in Atlanta and it was awesome. They also played in Dallas, LA, and SF. You can find the live videos on UA-cam of all the USA shows. They will come back again I am sure but it may be a year or two until they do.
10:46 I know so well what you mean. That happens to me every few months. About two years ago I started to discover all-female Metal from Japan, and I ended up listening to LOVEBITES, Nemophila, Hanabie and Hágane. And often enough I lose the connection between faces and names. And I am not even "old" yet. 😂😁😉
ahhh - give it a couple more weeks and you will be rattling off the names of all the players in these bands like clockwork. i probably have close to a hundred names of these amazing ladies right there. 9 years of listening to a couple dozen girl groups. am i obsessed ? wellll ... BAND MAID was first contact for me in '16 and then a bunch after that. you have die hard fans of both the MAIDS and LOVEBITES that will claim that their band is the best and some that like both. their genres are a bit different so they actually could do a show together. but generally speaking 99% of the time they do what are called one man live shows. just them and no one else. i like both bands but LOVEBITES grabs my number one spot. i get the feeling that they could play ANYTHING that the MAIDS could do but vice-versa ? hmmmm - not so much.
@@VeljkoNikolic-is5px Thank you. Haruna is typical metal. Fast, aggressive, thunderous. He rips the leg machine like a demon... :D Akane? He points more in the direction of jazz. Its huge tom falls, the precise solutions of the clockwork, and the drum patterns that serve the orchestra make it outstanding. In this regard, I could mention Tamu Murata along with him. But Japan has TONS of brilliant drummers ... male/female. Thank you for listening. :)
I've seen a lot of comments that the sound at Hellfest last summer was kinda shit. I watched Babymetal's set & it was pretty bad. Luckily there's plenty of fan cam shot shows all over the world & the audio is good.
14:53 I do not know either. I am in the same situation: I am a natural-born metalhead and was raised with the respective well-known bands. I started to use UA-cam, and was happy to see all the happy guys reacting to Iron Maiden and Helloween. But I heard _nothing_ about LOVEBITES - until a channel owner who was a die-hard Iron Maiden fan and whom I had subsribed, had a look on LOVEBITES. Due to recommendations. That changed my taste of Metal. But when I got to know the band, they had already released 4 or 6 albums, and Fami had just joined them. I am _deeply discontent_ , that LOVEBITEs is only found "by coincidence", seemingly not promoted at all by their management, outside of Japan. But maybe I am wrong. I don't want to offend anybody.
10:30 as you express respect towards Haruna: Maybe have a look on "Hágane", another all-female Metal band from Japan. (Hágane is the Japanese word for steel.) Their drummer *Junna* is impressive, too. Her skills can be watched in the music videos "Hero Time" and "Start our Journey".
11:43 Good point. Quite some question raised. I do not know at all. They do not hate each other, they are good friends. Apart from actual explanations: I wish for a joint tour of LOVEBITES, Nemophila, Hanabie and Hágane. With "All-female Metal from Japan to shine a light" or so as headline. I expect them to fill _stadiums_ .
Great reaction, tnx. If you like M&M shredding try music video "Shadowmaker" ua-cam.com/video/Brmoln5Gxus/v-deo.htmlsi=-TnAcRo0dVoSzzsZ, for more shredding (more than 10 solo parts) "Scream for me" ua-cam.com/video/acwkphgzNg8/v-deo.htmlsi=-5GtjKI7T749FVxT
I think a few may have mentioned them.... lmao. I am only a couple of weeks into this so I still have hundreds of songs from band-maid, lovebites, babymetal, hanabie, and now Nemophila to check out. I am barely able to remember the names of these ladies as it is. Idk if I can add another group into the mix yet!
*_Speaking of great bass players, I can’t wait for you to check out Trident. Their bassist Serina is, in my opinion, the best out of all the female J-rock bands out now. “Cry Out” would be the perfect first song to hear from them._*
Brother collaborated songs don’t need to be the same exact genre. Thats what make some collab so iconic. Look at when JayZ and Linkin Park came together in the early 2000s.
LOVEBITES fans and BANDMAID fans don't get along. LOVEBITES is a professional group that stoically plays classical and old school music. On the other hand, BANDMAID is a band that plays hard rock as an extension of pop music. They don't get along well on the same stage.

You can thank me later...or not 😉.
Edit: I think both performances is 5 years old. She was only 17 years old back then.
I second heading over to Fami's YT channel to get a feel of her mind-boggling bass talent and skills.
There is a popular saying amongst the Wolfpack that "the latest song you've heard from Lovebites is the best song you've heard from Lovebites!" LOL
Aggreed
LOVEBITES and BAND MAID were twice in the same stage on some festival in JAPAN. HARUNA and AKANE are friends and usually go to eat together. Also MIYAKO and MAYU (vocalist from Nemophila) are fishing mates, there are photos of both fishing. LOVEBITES, NEMOPHILA and BAND MAID used to support each others by going to the concert of the other bands.
Haruna is the happiest drummer. She just playing her drums, smiling and singing along. Just a walk in the park. 195 bpm of pure energy. ❤❤❤❤
LOVEBITES - Soldier Stands Solitarily lyrics & credits:
If tomorrow never comes
Was it ever even here? Nobody knows
Trying to find key to the door
It's me and no one else
All in my hand
Things aren't as easy as "right" and "wrong'
You only need one thing to be proud of
Solitary soldier
Fighting till the end
I'm not satisfied
Solitary fire
Even with the scars
I'm not satisfied
If I can take it all back
Daydreaming won't change a thing, so worthless
Life is always back and forth of hurting and getting hurt
Can't change this
I have been searching for something long
Not enough time to care what others think
Solitary soldier
Fighting till the end
I'm not satisfied
Solitary fire
Even with the scars
I'm not satisfied
SOLOS: miyako / midori / both
Things aren't as easy as "right" and "wrong'
You only need one thing to be proud of
Solitary soldier
Fighting till the end
I'm not satisfied
Solitary fire
Even with the scars
I'm not satisfied
Solitary soldier
Fighting till the end
I'm not satisfied
Solitary fire
Even with the scars
I'm not satisfied

How Haruna's feet and Asami's vocal chords last through this abuse, especially in a festival setting, I cannot fathom! Rock on, Shade!
right? that double bass drum kicking for hours at a time? holy shit...
Burden of Time will blow you away with Miyako playing 2 instruments at the same time. Full backup vocals are great.
Miyako composed this song !! 🎸 🔥🔥🔥
Miyako is alot more engaging and animated than what these videos show. Fami is sunshine in human form. Haruna is constantly smiling, throwing her hair around and doing stick tricks. Lovebites was in Dallas last September. They will be back.
I absolutely love Miyako's "Ice Queen" demeanour. It's the very essence of rock 'n roll.
They are friends to anybody, other bands. Humble elite musicians. Lovebites rules 👍🤘
The HELLFEST was their first time. They've 30 min during lunch time of the Friday. LOVEBITES make a hugh impression to the french music press. I'm french but I was in that festival clause to my home ( too expensive) , I went to Paris concert 3 days before. It was a banger. The best time in my life since a long time ago. 🇨🇵

Really great reaction 🎉, thanks for taking your time to enjoy this masterpiece, I have a lot favorite songs from Lovebites but this song have an special place in my heart... It's a perfect metal song 🤘
One of the greatest metal performances and songs of all time. My favorite band of all time and no one even comes close! Haruna is a really happy and comfortable drummer. So good.

That said, this performance is up there in the off the wall category. Just a crazy, crazy display of metal mastery, stage presence and wonder.
They sound amazing live and in person. The sound in this fan video isn't great. There's some better ones out there. Even without post production on live official videos, they sound amazing live.
Side note: I see Thunder Vengeance is next! That is my personal favorite song from them!! Mostly I think because its the song that made me fall in love with them when I first discovered them. That song comes out of the gate like a runaway train and just never stops. Love everything about that performance too!
From🇯🇵 Japan: Japanese women love band music and play many genres: metal, HR, punk, funk, pop, alternative, jazz, etc.
... and this is why I prefer to go watch a band in a venue rather than a festival - festivals are great to have a good time with your pals, but venues are the right place to listen to and watch a band! And having the band one meter from you (litteraly) is even better (even if the mix is unbalanced frontstage of course). I spent the whole belgian concert of that tour in front of Miyako, she really is an amazing player!
Agree with everything you said, but when LOVEBITES comes to a festival nearby, you will have to be there, no matter what! 🤘
@@obud3777 At the Prog Power festival I was in the front row which was about 2 meters away from the edge of the stage. Fami would come right out to the edge and lean forward so she was really close.
I got to experience this song live when I saw Lovebites at 'The Garage' in London on 1st July last year. It would be no exaggeration to say it was one of the high points of an amazing evening.
I saw Lovebites twice last year during the European leg of their world tour, and despite the venues being less than ideal, especially the first gig in London, they were never less than superb. For me I think the stand out was Haruna. I have huge respect for all 5 members (and ex member Miho) but seeing just how tiny Haruna is, and then experiencing the power of her playing was a revelation. At some points my chest was vibrating with the volume of sound from her double kick bass. If the chance to see Lovbites play ever comes your way, do take it, you will not be disappointed.
As others have said in the comments, the members of Lovebites and Band-Maid know and support each other. This seems to be a general theme in the Japanese rock and metal scene. There seems to none of the ego that has in the past damaged so many bands from Europe and America, just a shared desire to be as good as each member can be and contribute to the success of all. 🐺
Wolf pack forever best metal band In the world lovebites lovebites lovebites lovebites ❤❤🎉
Lovebites are absolutely flawless from every angle, they are the queens of Metal. But with this song and the renditions of it the band shows itself invincible. Never heard and seen such a demonstration of musical power and excellence. Every nanosecond of this is a piece of heaven.
Why don't BAND-MAID and LOVEBITES collaborate?
Why don't MISA and FAMI collaborate?
The answer is because people who see them get too excited, have heart attacks, and die! LOL! 😇
Only acceptable answer 😂
Newbs need to be introduced gradually to build up to the intense ones 😂😂. Miyako also filmed her ride in a driverless car in San Francisco.
The reason why Lovebites and Band-Maid have never performed together is because of the danger of the audience's hearts and minds exploding at the amount of raw skill, power and energy on stage.
A week before that Hellfest performance I saw them in a Club in Germany along with 600 die-hard LOVEBITES Fans, what is quite the opposite of a crowd of 40,000 where probably the majority never heard of them before. There the focus of course was 100% on the band and I had the once-in-a-lifetime experience to see Miyako playing her solos 1 meter in front of me 😊
Yes, the concert in Lindau was incredible🤘
I was in front of Midori and had a good view of all the musicians, unforgettable🤩
Hi from France:
Hellfest is in France and LOVEBITES is almost unknown here. The festival programmers gave them just 30 minutes between two headliners and at a time when everyone is thinking about eating between noon and two. In short, the majority of the audience didn't come for our favorite band...
As proof, the French metal press (paper, radio and web) neglected LOVEBITES and were only interested in the headliners and a few local or Western bands... What comes from across the Pacific... You know what I mean...
LOVEBITES had the opportunity during this tour in Europe to go to a Parisian venue (La Maroquinerie) where they were able to express themselves better.
On the other hand, the rest of the dates and festivals in Spain, Scandinavian countries, Belgium or England seem to have gone much better...
Enjoy Wolfpack!
Almost the same thing happened for Band Maid at Lollapaloosa. The band was introduced to the audience as a simple pop band from Japan. You can see that the crowd on the footage of this concert is small and moderately interested...
The organizers are also responsible for their programming!
There is no collaboration with BAND-MAID because of a slightly different genre, but I visited BAND-MAID 10th anniversary live with vocalist-Asami, guitarist-Midori, and drummer-Haruna.
It's a bit tragic that you've only discovered Lovebites now. Because last September they were in Dallas during their world tour. I would be really annoyed...😄😄😄
Lovebites and Band Maid collab is not a good idea commercially and I don't think serious fans of those bands want it either but may be you do. I just don't understand Haruna looks scary. She is all smiling and friendly.
195 BPM Masterpiece! 🤘
Oh, I took a look at your list and you miss a lot of iconic songs there:
Trash Metal: "Break the wall"
Ballads: "Empty Daydream", "Epilogue"
Rock: "A Frozen Serenade" ( 2021 LIVE in Tokyo with lyrics ), "Liar" (OLV taken from "Knockin' At Heaven's Gate"), "Journey to the Other Side" (Live in Tokyo 2019 with lyrics, Miho wrote it for her father who passed early), "Spellbound" ( Lovebites take on 80s pop rock, Miyako smiles, even if she just acts, it's still a treat ;)
Power Metal: "Shadowmaker" ( OMV, there are amazing closeups of them playing and they are soo young here, it also features the most amazing solo section and no live performance does it justice imo ), "Glory to the World" OMV, "When Destinies Allign" ( OMV, they dress up as samurai - fun )
At least half of their catalogue are instant classics, so there is more great songs to discover, but I've tried to list the most iconic ones, that are missing on the list.
THRASH metal, not trash metal.
👍Awesome performance, LOVEBITES 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. 🖖❤
🤘🏽LOVEBITESRULES🤘🏽
Great reaction..Haruna ain't afraid of nothing !.. Band has to keep up with her..🙂.. Check out "Judgement Day", studio then live.. absolutely amazing as everything they do !
It would be awesome if Lovebites and Band-Maid did a collab. There is a lot of connection between the two bands. Haruna and Akane are good friends. Three members of Lovebites went to Band-Maid's 10th Anniversary concert in Yokohama and Saiki waved to them when she spotted them in the audience. Now that Band-Maid is it's own entity the chances of a collab might be better.
Haruna scared? Nah, she is not afraid of the devil either!
They are phenomenal. All are elite level, but Miyako is just, well Miyako. She's a generational talent IMO. I'm with you she's mesmerizing. I would watch her make coffee. No collabs in sight But Haruna and Akane fron Band-Maid are friends and Miyako and Mayu (Nemophila vocalist) are friends as well. There's a photo of them deep sea fishing online (Can't recall wich site though). As I'm sure others are as well. Many of these all female Japanese bands are higly supportive of each other.
Love the support... but give me a collab lmao
@@ShadeReactsLive Band Maid did a colab with The Warning that is worth checking out.
The star shaped cymbals always geeked me on her setup
do me MIYAKO is the next JIMMY PAGE!!!!!!!!!!
5:35 "Let's go!" And boy did they ever! Looking at you like that kid in the candy store made me love this song even more myself.
I have thoughts, which are random, so I'm cutting the babbling and just going in order:
- While this is probably the fastest song of their catalogue in bpm, never expect Haruna to be fazed! She is just naturally wide-eyed, which gives her that doe look... see more pics of the band, she and Asami especially are like that; large, hypnotizing eyes to drown in.
- They surely know and respect each other with BAND MAIDs, but I am afraid a collab on the same stage would entail a massive risk of unforeseen outcomes, like the stage collapsing or the public spinning out of control... nah, really, I believe the fact that the two bands play a different genre - Hard Rock vs. Heavy Power Metal - must have, thus far, precluded a project together, even though they share a lot of the same fans. Not out of the cards for the future, though.
- I would NEVER judge the quality of sound production off a fancam video. The instruments just sound different when recorded in a hall setting, and even more so when taken in open air conditions. What you hear is mostly the vox and the drums, gotta live with it. If you listen to their songs from newer shows, primarily off the "Memorial for the Warrior Souls" concert - the bass, not to mention the whole band - sounds healthy, beefy and very well outlined in the sound picture - it has been thus since the arrival of the "baby bass monster" Fami especially, as the band surely are conscious to feature her!
- I usually still seek out the fan videos for the vibes and atmosphere of a show. If you are like me, I would strongly recommend you the (quite good quality) videos from the concert LOVEBITES had at the JUMF festival in South Korea this fall - one fan went to the lengths of including backstage footage and the view on Haruna's drums from the side (must have had a backstage pass!), another filmed the whole concert from a vantage point beside the huge "catwalk" into the crowd that the ladies used to rousing impact, like Fami at one memorable point! :))
The vids are up there for your enjoyment, but if you wish, I will find the links.
Nice reaction 🎉Yes,LOVEBITES and Band-Maid are the two biggest bands in Japan right now.They have never performed together because of the difference between Heavy metal and Hard rock.and LOVEBITES won the top spot in the Power Metal category of the METAL AWARDS 2024 with an overwhelming 53% of the votes (2nd place Kamelot, 3rd place Powerwolf). This is a great honor and shows that they have been recognized worldwide.
I think Baby Metal is more popular than both Lovebites and Band-Maid, even though I wish that weren't true.
No, I do not think Haruna look scared. Maybe a bit misplaced. She is so small and cute and have such a big drum set. And play this crazy stuff.
Great reaction bro🤘Lovebites
wish you discovered these ladies before september of last year cuz they came to the US and played 3 venues here. dallas tx, LA and SF cali. i was fortunate enough to catch them in LA, hopefully they come back this year.
Dude I know. I live in Dallas too....
@ haha maybe this year if they come back since they just won the best power metal band 2024 they should have a lot more exposure.
Fami is a force to behold.
next SHADOWMAKER!!!!!!!!! but do the live version from 2021. great reaction and have a great day.
They played SSS at both the gigs of the European tour I went to last summer - yeah it's absolute fire 🔥
Chartreuse is pretty easy to get here in Switzerland. Cheers 🍸🏔
It’s been VERY hard to get here in the states.but I got my hands on some so I’m happy!
I think. This song is at the highest speed, and the melody of this song is complex. In addition, the performance is perfect! The bass guitar (Fami) and the drum (Haruna) are laughing! I can't believe it! LOVEBITES is the god of modern HEAVY•METAL. In this song, the two members of the rhythm team (HARUNA) and (Fami) are the leaders!😎
🤘Happy Rhythm Section Seminar 🤘
195 bpm of pure awesomness.
Let me help you with Miyako’s name pronunciation. MEE-YAH-KO. She’s my favorite band member too.😊
one of my favorite songs,..
Miyako started taking classical piano lessons when she was three years old and started playing guitar in high school. Miyako is a composer and arranger too..... by the way Next " Wind of Transylvania" Live version
Yes. Compare the speed while this one is still fresh in your head. :]
Please stop comparing Band Maid to LOVEBITES, they are both amazing, but they play different genres of music, Band Maid plays rock, LOVEBITES play metal, different pace of music and different audiences!
Nice reaction! Miyako is a beast!
If you're interested here's a link to a video I made of them performing this song in Dallas back in September at the Echo Lounge. ua-cam.com/video/npgN4WjL46o/v-deo.htmlsi=ve7_a0VWIsLZyU66
Every song you hear will become your favourite, theirs a long way to go on your #Lovebites journey smiling is compulsory after a Lovebites song.
Looking forward to your next reaction
Keep up the great work.
Regards Wolfpack 🐺 UK 🤘🎸🥁🎤🎹🎶🔥🤯🤘
I hope you're gonna react to this with your Bass buddy. You know he will be picking his jaw off the floor.
Add to your list: "MDO" and "Break the Wall"
I sed for you every time you listen new songs for LOVEBITES you will say this my favourite because they are amazing tray one of these songs set the world on fire live 2021 or Break the wall 2020 or Shadow maker 2021 I’m sure you will say the same. Thanks
Subbed and liked your reaktionvideo! I could not see everything clearly on your list (letters were very small) but if you're into fast powermetal with guitarsolos then put up Shadowmaker, When Destinies Align , Glory to the world to your list. Ofcourse Lovebites is great to see in live versions but these three musicvideos are very well edited just as Judgement day is. Maybe do a combination of the mv and a live video, I'll promise you'll love these!
LOVEBITES crazy dual guitars solos.. JUDGEMENT DAY(MV/LIVE), SET THE WORLD ON FIRE, SCREAM FOR ME, WHEN DESTINIES ALIGN(MV/LIVE), SHADOW MAKER(MV/LIVE), SIGN OF DELIVERANCE, BREAK THE WALL, SPELLBOUND(dual guitar and KeyTar solos)...cover song Pain Killer(Judas Priest)
Fami channel do bass cover Alien Alien(viewed 11M)
Midori💚💚💚💚💚 lovebites💖💖💖
最高
In my opinion,
LOVEBITES = Heavy Metal, Symphonic Metal.
BAND-MAID = City ROCK, POP ROCK.
Their fan bases are somewhat divided.
Either way, they are a treasure of Japan.
Band-maid and lovebites musicians are good friends and attend each others concerts.
Gotta like because of the dog, love german shepherds hehe. Its hard to say enough about Lovebites, best power metal band in 2024 award, best new band from Metal Hammer back in 2018, shredding like nobody else, M & M best guitar duo in the world right now for sure, not even one bad song, the list goes on and on... They just make metal great again because of making music from classic heavy, thrash and power metal music from 80ies and 90ies which rarely bands do today and that is what separates them from others. Classical sounds as a base for composing songs which Miyako does and Asami writes, they are simply the best metal band today, no doubt of that...
I told her to lay there and look cute for youtube. She did a good job hahaha thanks man, i've been enjoying them so far!
i would be so down to actually watching a full blown song of the 2 bands would be alot better than the one that band maid did with the other band either last year or the year before. not sure how the colab would work as they are different styles but would be intrigued what the outcome would be
I think because of their different styles it would be a fun collaboration!
With Lovebites you must use Midori Liquor. :-) But if you like fancam here 2 suggestions. BABYMETAL BxMxC Bruxelle version. Asterism and the song Dawn. Asterism is always fire in front of a crowd.
Good point! Idk how I missed that lmao
Although Band Maid has great musicians, they are not at the same level with Lovebites
nah nah nah were not going to degrade or diminish the talent of any of these ladies
@ njeroe: Tell me that you know nothing about the topic you’re talking about without saying it 😅
My 15 year old son just went to his first concert (Babymetal) and crowd surfed! Su looked at him like 😳. He’s very small lmao
Midori, like the melon flavored liqueur
Unfortunately, when people are crowd surfing straight at you, you HAVE to pay attention to them. I almost had my neck broken at a Flogging Molly show when the people behind us didn't warn us a crowd-surfer was coming, and they actually dropped the guy (pretty big guy, too), straight onto the back of my head and the head of the guy next to me.
I love watching these Japanese ladies bands, you hear the drums and you expect some beefed up cyborg pouding on those things, but when the camera pans to them you see a happy smiling girl barely/not even 5ft, and smacking on those drums like they owe her money....😂😂😂😂
This is the video that made Fami famous with over 11 million views. ua-cam.com/video/Q_UqztwYAOU/v-deo.html FYI- She was only 16 years old at the time.
🤟🏻💥🤯🌋S🌪️S🌊S🔥🤯⚡🤘🏻
🐺THE POWER OF LOVEBITES🐺
Good reaction. I advise you (Set the world on fire 2021, The hammer of wrath 2023 and Dissonance 2023).
I was also a big fan of Band-Maid's earlier songs, but the newer songs are no longer my taste.
I can't imagine a collaboration with LOVEBITES, but I can with Helloween or Electric Callboy. =>By the way, can I buy your puppy😍, please?
I just love collaborations! She’s my princess 👑
9:40 I just *LOVE* that stare in disbelief. 😂 Typical LOVEBITES. 😁
This is my most favorite Lovebites song. Lovebites came to the USA this past September. I saw them at their USA debut concert in Atlanta at the Prog Power festival. Lovebites was the most anticipated band of the entire weekend. I got to meet them to get their autographs (except for Asami) and then was in the front row for their show - right in front of Midori and Fami. It was easily the best concert I have ever been to. They played this song live in Atlanta and it was awesome. They also played in Dallas, LA, and SF. You can find the live videos on UA-cam of all the USA shows. They will come back again I am sure but it may be a year or two until they do.
10:46 I know so well what you mean. That happens to me every few months. About two years ago I started to discover all-female Metal from Japan, and I ended up listening to LOVEBITES, Nemophila, Hanabie and Hágane. And often enough I lose the connection between faces and names. And I am not even "old" yet. 😂😁😉
🐺🐺🐺🤘🤘🤘💥
ahhh - give it a couple more weeks and you will be rattling off the names of all the players in these bands like clockwork. i probably have close to a hundred names of these amazing ladies right there. 9 years of listening to a couple dozen girl groups. am i obsessed ? wellll ... BAND MAID was first contact for me in '16 and then a bunch after that. you have die hard fans of both the MAIDS and LOVEBITES that will claim that their band is the best and some that like both. their genres are a bit different so they actually could do a show together. but generally speaking 99% of the time they do what are called one man live shows. just them and no one else. i like both bands but LOVEBITES grabs my number one spot. i get the feeling that they could play ANYTHING that the MAIDS could do but vice-versa ? hmmmm - not so much.
Haruna, és Akane barátnők. :) Két ragyogó dobos.
YES HARUNA!!!
@@VeljkoNikolic-is5px Thank you. Haruna is typical metal. Fast, aggressive, thunderous. He rips the leg machine like a demon... :D
Akane? He points more in the direction of jazz.
Its huge tom falls, the precise solutions of the clockwork, and the drum patterns that serve the orchestra make it outstanding.
In this regard, I could mention Tamu Murata along with him.
But Japan has TONS of brilliant drummers ... male/female.
Thank you for listening. :)
I've seen a lot of comments that the sound at Hellfest last summer was kinda shit. I watched Babymetal's set & it was pretty bad. Luckily there's plenty of fan cam shot shows all over the world & the audio is good.
14:53 I do not know either. I am in the same situation: I am a natural-born metalhead and was raised with the respective well-known bands. I started to use UA-cam, and was happy to see all the happy guys reacting to Iron Maiden and Helloween. But I heard _nothing_ about LOVEBITES - until a channel owner who was a die-hard Iron Maiden fan and whom I had subsribed, had a look on LOVEBITES. Due to recommendations. That changed my taste of Metal. But when I got to know the band, they had already released 4 or 6 albums, and Fami had just joined them. I am _deeply discontent_ , that LOVEBITEs is only found "by coincidence", seemingly not promoted at all by their management, outside of Japan. But maybe I am wrong. I don't want to offend anybody.
10:30 as you express respect towards Haruna: Maybe have a look on "Hágane", another all-female Metal band from Japan. (Hágane is the Japanese word for steel.) Their drummer *Junna* is impressive, too. Her skills can be watched in the music videos "Hero Time" and "Start our Journey".
11:43 Good point. Quite some question raised. I do not know at all. They do not hate each other, they are good friends. Apart from actual explanations: I wish for a joint tour of LOVEBITES, Nemophila, Hanabie and Hágane. With "All-female Metal from Japan to shine a light" or so as headline. I expect them to fill _stadiums_ .
Doggos name is Isla correct?
Yep! I spell is Islay, like the scotch
Great reaction, tnx. If you like M&M shredding try music video "Shadowmaker" ua-cam.com/video/Brmoln5Gxus/v-deo.htmlsi=-TnAcRo0dVoSzzsZ, for more shredding (more than 10 solo parts) "Scream for me" ua-cam.com/video/acwkphgzNg8/v-deo.htmlsi=-5GtjKI7T749FVxT
7:09 _Miyako_ . Miyako is her name. Like "Me Yuh Coe". I think that she herself emphasizes her name on the first syllable.
Lovebite cocktail! Really great name. Used to work as a bartender many many years ago. Cocktails are great fun. Today I settle for whisky and gin
Has anyone suggested Nemophila yet? ANOTHER all female Japanese band that should be a part of these reactions.
I think a few may have mentioned them.... lmao. I am only a couple of weeks into this so I still have hundreds of songs from band-maid, lovebites, babymetal, hanabie, and now Nemophila to check out. I am barely able to remember the names of these ladies as it is. Idk if I can add another group into the mix yet!
@@ShadeReactsLive 🤣🤣🤣
*_Speaking of great bass players, I can’t wait for you to check out Trident. Their bassist Serina is, in my opinion, the best out of all the female J-rock bands out now. “Cry Out” would be the perfect first song to hear from them._*
Better than MISA from Band-Maid???!?!?! Thats a TOUGH one to top
@@ShadeReactsLive *_LOL Just saying, man!!! 😎_*
And Haragushi-san, Fami, Misa, Wakaemon and Ale from the Warning ?
@@johnpaul4784 *_Yes._*
You all forget about ALDIOUS bass player SAWA🥰😍😘, the greatest of all.
Τhey play different kinds of music......
But I‘m sure both bands would manage to find a style together that would sound awesome …
Brother collaborated songs don’t need to be the same exact genre. Thats what make some collab so iconic. Look at when JayZ and Linkin Park came together in the early 2000s.
Still stalking you for Nemophila - Dissention... 🙂
LOVEBITES fans and BANDMAID fans don't get along. LOVEBITES is a professional group that stoically plays classical and old school music. On the other hand, BANDMAID is a band that plays hard rock as an extension of pop music. They don't get along well on the same stage.
The most popular question: why don't these japanese female groups collaborate with each other?
I will go to Zepp Fukuoka (2025/01/26) for the first live of the year❗️ It's in front of Midori in the front row of the 2nd floor seats❗️
🤘🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🤘
