The past couple of years I've gone from listening to entirely western metal to listening to 90% Japanese metal, with LOVEBITES reigning supreme. Didn't see that coming. 🐺
Last night I was perusing the concerts I could go to this year and in March Saxon and WASP are playing locally both celebrating 40 years. Having seen them in the mid 80s amongst many other great acts of that decade I decided to watch the 2021 Tokyo concert of Lovebites. Two hours and few beers later I decided not to revisit my past! Having seen Lovebites play alongside Dragonforce I decided to wait and see Lovebites again amongst others!! 😎🤟
@noelle3551 I missed out on Lovebites when they visited the UK, as I hadn't discovered them at that time. Have been lucky enough to see Megadeth play live twice and meet Mustaine and Kiko. The No1 goal now is to see Lovebites and then Unlucky Morpheus...saving the pennies for that day. 🐺
@@faintsmile88 I know Lovebites play in March for 2 concerts in Tokyo and later in the Summer a tour of Japan. Tickets for March are sold out as for the summer I would expect the same!! As for other groups I would like to see Waggaki band, Jinjer and another group from Ukraine, Ignea!! I met the guitarist from Dio now with Def Leppard on a few occasions before joining Dio, my friend Keith who plays Keyboards with Quire boys, many a drink together and also with Les Binks former Drummer with Judas Priest
Asami on vocals, Miyako and Midori on guitar, Miho on bass here, Haruna on drums. Miho left in 2021. Fami joined as the new bassist , late 2022. The band was named after the Grammy winning Halestorm song, Love Bites (So Do I). Lead singer , Asami, has been on stage with Halestorm performing that song. Btw, did you see the piano on stage? It's not just for show, try Swan Song to see Miyako play a Chopin intro.
Awesome!! Asami's background before joining LOVEBITES was in R&B and Soul music!! This is her first time singing in a metal band and she sounds amazing!! 🤘🐺🤘 Lovebites play many styles, from heavy fast metal like this, to beautiful ballads!! Thank you very much!!
Lead vocalist Asami has a background in R&B and soul music. Midori and Miyako are one of the best guitar duo's in Metal music today! Next Lovebites song: "A Frozen Serenade" Live!
Oh yes! Finally! They've become literally my favorite band, especially to listen to and watch live. So musically gifted, and so much talent on stage. They all have really interesting backgrounds, and Asami's voice has so much depth and power. She's got an R&B background, which may be where you're picking up those Broadway sort of belts. She didn't know what metal even was until she was invited to sing here. Miyako (guitarist stage left) is a classical pianist. The white dresses have a story. On founding the band they decided they wanted to show that metal could be a positive thing, so they only wear white, and only sing positive lyrics. I really hope you do another one that showcases both Asami's range and Miyako's talents. The typical recommendation there would be one of the "E" songs. I'll go with the lesser reacted "Empty Daydream" which also features some really nice vocal harmonies, but "Edge of the World" is glorious. "Swan Song" (with the Chopin intro) is a straight up masterpiece though, and I'd recommend that too. If you want more of this unbridled chaos, then I'd highly recommend the show opener "Thunder Vengeance" (live from Zepp - this show). It's amazing. "Set the World on Fire" showcases more of her belting and has an amazing chorus and solo section. I'm glad you enjoyed this. I have been suggesting it and waiting to see what you thought. I hope you do more, but I am glad you got to see them. Have a wonderful day Bethany!
One of the best band in any genre especially LIVE. Here the little stage general Asami (4' 10") who never sang metal till she joined LB, thunders out over world class musicians who blend the best of classical metal with classic music influences and elevates it to a whole new level in their unique style. Asami was a backup R & B/Soul/Jazz singer as well as a trained ballerina. She defines this band, class, grace, femininity and then plain in your face talent. Dressed in white as they are all petite and easier to see on stage, their high heels and love of their music makes this a must see. First all female Japanese band to play Wacken Open Air where they stunned the metalhead crowd. If you want to really hear Asami try Empty Daydream, Epilogue, or Edge of the World LIVE. The masterpiece Swab Song with Chopin Etude intro is also a must ua-cam.com/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/v-deo.html.
I hear you. My advice is not to bother with those who are ignorant and I don't give the the space they crave. Asami is unique among Japanese lead vocalist in metal bands. Many still don't like her high sound and lack of growling. Fine your opinion , I hate growling per se but accept it. Asami is as good a singer as any and while she is no Floor, she is just as dominant on stage and is perfect for this band. I have had debates about her but with people I respect not trolls. Her and Haruna at 4' 9" are an inspiration to anyone that size only holds your talent it doesn't define it. Those that chose to skip this band are the losers, one of the best 5 bands I have ever experienced in a lifetime that goes back to Cream (1966-68).when you have experienced people like Hendrix live as I was lucky enough to, well you can be sure my designation is well earned by this group of world class musicians. My friends still insist having this much talent in one band is illegal and they should be broken up (LOL). Rather than wasting time on trolls spend it listening to music you love, you will be a lot happier and the trolls will have to find someone else to try and waste their time not enjoying great music. There is so much great music and not enough time to truly enjoy it so I prefer to ignore the trolls. Your taste is great and those that disagree are losing out!!
Welcome to lovebites, for me this is the best metal band out (male or female) now, this ladys are so good, every one from lovebites are super star with their talents and skills on instruments,the music so wild, LOVEBITES ROCK
The next step could be "Chopin etude+Swan song", then one's 3E songs: "Edge of the World", "Empty daydream" and "Epilogue" and finally "Frozen serenade". Thanks.
Thanks for the reaction to this phenomenal band. Asami (lead vocals) R&B, Soul, Jazz singer and ballerina . Before joining LOVEBITES, she didn't know what heavy metal was. Asami was engaged in the classic ballet for about 16 years. This is noticeable by her movements on stage, especially by hand movements .
“We are LIVEBITES, and we play Heavy Metal!” This was a great choice. The video includes complete lyrics if you turn on CC. ASAMI demonstrates her three-octave range in their latest MV, JUDGEMENT DAY.
In a 2021 concert a few years after this one, Asami held the final note 7 seconds longer. Her top range has an even higher octave in other songs. Most notebly in a Lovebites cover of Judas Priest's 'Painkiller'. Asami note for note can hang and nearly matches with Robert Halford. The cover itself is problebly the best cover ever done on Painkiller.
If you want to hear the beautiful & emotional voice from the vocalist, pls check their ballad song called : Epilogue, and ofcourse it's from their live concert. Thank you for the reaction🤘
Thank you for your reaction! It was really good - and I think you would really love the live version of Edge of the World (LOVEBITES - Edge of the World (Five of a Kind, 21/02/2020)) - it showcases Miyako on piano, and Asami's range really well.
A very talented group of musicians. Thank God that the Japanese have carried on true heavy metal that I loved in the 80's. Their new album Judgement Day due out this week.
Congratulations, you just found the best new metal band to come along in decades. In their first five years of existence, they put themselves on par with the greatest bands of metal’s golden age. Other reviewers have described them as alien superheroes disguised as young women, angels, princesses of metal, and angry bridesmaids. They recently went on a year-and-a half hiatus while they searched for a new bassist. They announced the new bassist in October 2022 (see below) and dropped their first new song, “Judgement Day” on December 22. Some background: They were formed in 2016 from the remnants of a legendary all-girl Japanese metal band called Destrose (yes, all-girl metal has been a thing in Japan since at least 1981). Miho (bass, chief headbanger and founder of the band) had a vision of a new band in the style of the great European bands of the golden age of metal. She recruited her former bandmate Haruna (drums, 4'9" “pocket nuclear reactor”); they needed two world-class guitarists, and so they went and found Midori and Miyako, who were with other groups. The four of them then found Asami, the singer, who was doing soul and blues at the time (she was also trained in ballet). Miyako has composed a little more than half of their music, with Miho composing a lot of their thrashier songs in collaboration with Mao, the lead composer of another band called Lightbringer. Midori has also been getting into the act, and they regularly perform a song written by Haruna as well. Asami writes most of the lyrics and is also getting involved in composing. In mid-2021, Miho left the band she had founded, for personal reasons. They recently announced their new bassist, Fami, who is a young phenom and herself a composer and multi-instrumentalist. Their first song with Fami is “Judgement Day” ua-cam.com/video/m3uGjp-P7DI/v-deo.html The instrumentalists studied all the great historical metal bands going back to Purple and Sabbath, through Maiden, Priest, Metallica, Helloween, Slayer etc. They have incorporated some of the best of each of those bands into their arsenal, and have created a sound that is fresh and cutting edge while paying tribute to the old masters. They toured with Dragonforce in 2019, and word from those in attendance was that next time around, it will be the ladies headlining. They do everything from soulful power ballads to heavy thrash. Almost every song includes face-melting solos by Miyako and Midori. The two guitarists are quite different in style and tone. Midori (blonde ponytail) is the extrovert and speed demon; Miyako is the introvert, with the more soulful feel (though she can also shred like crazy). Midori uses a cleaner tone, Miyako uses more distortion, pinch harmonics and pedal effects. The contrast makes their duets rich and dynamic. It doesn’t hurt that either one can smoke most of the shredders in the classic metal bands. As another reviewer said, "It seems criminal these two are allowed to be in the same band." Here are more clips you should check out: “Set the World on Fire” ua-cam.com/video/99zsH6iG_6c/v-deo.html from their 2021 concert DVD “Heavy Metal Never Dies”. “Don’t Bite the Dust” ua-cam.com/video/oHnKGEj1CMc/v-deo.html, from the same concert; "Edge of the World" and "We the United", back to back: ua-cam.com/video/sl0-U-ykJCU/v-deo.html They form an incredible journey from darkness and despair to light and hope. Also, “Empty Daydream”, which starts as a ballad and becomes a real rocker: ua-cam.com/video/lXh_uMM94jU/v-deo.html; Perhaps their greatest masterpiece, a showcase of multi-instrumental virtuosity and even classical dance “A Frozen Serenade” ua-cam.com/video/Ae8pQVu-RN8/v-deo.html; Miyako is also a virtuoso concert pianist, and was headed for a career in classical music, before picking up the guitar. If you want to see what she can do on the piano, watch “Swan Song” WITH the prelude, which is Chopin’s “Revolutionary Etude” (official name Étude Opus 10, No. 12 in C minor). Miyako wrote “Swan Song” using elements from several classical pieces including the Etude. This link should work: ua-cam.com/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/v-deo.html. For a thrasher with heavy Slayer and Metallica vibes, “Break the Wall” ua-cam.com/video/5Pc0XK0lNmU/v-deo.html includes two gorgeous and completely contrasting solos by M&M. For a heart-stopping ballad, “Epilogue” ua-cam.com/video/1ynnXDfEnnY/v-deo.html (this includes a second song, your choice whether or not to react to both) Finally, while you will sometimes hear you should only react to live clips, actually their MV’s are epic and worth seeing. Here are four of the most spectacular: "Shadowmaker" ua-cam.com/video/Brmoln5Gxus/v-deo.html This is the song that blew up and melted faces all over the world "When Destinies Align" ua-cam.com/video/hLFelI93VkM/v-deo.html "Glory to the World" ua-cam.com/video/-wJtD2XEXH4/v-deo.html "Winds of Transylvania" ua-cam.com/video/HsE4Ub_Pjh8/v-deo.html. You'll get lots of suggestions, just one thing: don't bother with Bloodstock footage, the sound quality is poor. Best to take suggestions with actual links. Also, you can’t go wrong with any of their official clips. Welcome to the Wolf-Pack!
I only heard them for the first time about 3 months ago(this video!), and I starting kicking myself for not starting sooner. I also recommend 'Swan Song', as several people already have. I also recommend 'Judgement Day', which just came out over the holidays and showcases their new bassist, and it's a bit more symphonic.
LOVEBITES - Holy War lyrics: Look at those black clouds, it’s going to rain blood People live in fear, covered in mud Singing oh Gloria to change the prophecy We are the metal warriors Fighting the darkness for sisters There is a thousand, a thousand of evils Hush, do not wake up Satan’s devils Singing Hallelujah to save our majesty We are the metal warriors Fighting the darkness for brothers Shining blade and burning heart Into the Gates of Hell we march Immortal soul, let there be light Into the Eye of Heaven Eagles at a holy war Fly higher than the sun We are one for all and all for one forevermore SOLO: midori Kingdom of Heaven, never shall we fall Reincarnation, wait for your call Singing oh, Gloria to change the prophecy We are the metal warriors Fighting the darkness for sisters Morning star and dying moon Into the Gates of Hell we march Mighty soul, let there be hope Into the Eye of Heaven Eagles at a holy war Fly higher than the sun Stand up in the name of the God of heavy metal What do we live for？What do we fight for, tonight？ But the world is beautiful, worth fighting for Only have one thing on our mind Facing the fate, holy war SOLO: miyako / midori / both Singing Hallelujah to save our majesty We are the metal warriors Fighting the darkness for brothers Shining blade and burning heart Into the Gates of Hell we march Immortal soul, let there be light Into the Eye of Heaven Eagles at a holy war Fly higher than the sun We are one for all and all for one forevermore What do we live for？What do we fight for, tonight？ But the world is beautiful, worth fighting for Only have one thing on our mind Facing the fate, holy war ----- lyrics: LOVEBITES music: Mao arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) from Electric Pentagram 2020
On Tuesday the 21st at 6am Eastern Standard Time they will be having an online stream of their new Album that drops on Wednesday the gals will be in the chat and after the livestream they will release the 2nd Music Video ahead of the release. so fans can hear the whole album early and chat with the gals ]:)
Wolfpack is here for LOVEBITES! 🤘🏼🐺🤘🏼 Keep going. You just got a taste of what this band can do. I recommend: "Epilogue", "Frozen Serenade", and "Empty Daydream" next.
Thank you. Really, thank you. Asami is the vocalist of a band I consider the best I’ve ever heard in 50 years of listening to music. She also happens to be my favourite band member…but the margins are extremely slender! I’ve been pleading with what few vocal experts I know on UA-cam to listen to Asami because she is rock’s best kept secret when it comes to vocals. The reason I only know a handful of vocal channels is because night after night I try to catch every Lovebites reaction, especially first time reactions. Honestly, I don’t think Holy War is the best song to introduce someone to her vocals. The band, yes, because it’s a great example of the wall of sound that they can produce, but it doesn’t give Asami much variety, whereas the majority of their songs do. There is a recording of a live performance of Holy War from the live DVD a little over a year later, and the improvement is noticeable. On their latest releases she’s even more impressive, seriously. I would recommend you check out “Empty Daydream” from “Daughters of the Dawn” (2019) to see how sweet her voice is and how much passion she puts into a moving but still upbeat vocal performance. ua-cam.com/video/lXh_uMM94jU/v-deo.html
I have been hoping to hear your reaction to this band after hearing other reactions online. You seem to have realized that a good portion of your viewers are not aspiring vocalists but people who love music and your re-action videos reflect this. Yours is my favorite reaction to this song - I felt like we were hanging together enjoying the music. Your insights are always appreciated and enjoyable. You are growing and my own long time (I'm 65) enjoyment of music is increased by your work on this channel. Thank-you.!
What a band you just discovered! If you want to see some real skills, I suggest you to go with “Swan Song (+Chopin intro)” next m.ua-cam.com/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/v-deo.html Enjoy! 🐺🤘🏻
I just watched recently the singer Asami perform at a night club almost 12 years ago. It is a nice point of reference to see where she came from and in truth I love watching these again and again!
@@andreasvomdorp7852 ua-cam.com/video/d1V_s0fjGoo/v-deo.html There are 3 videos from the same venue ua-cam.com/video/YVHgoo6IFXo/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/AnIXdXdYsk4/v-deo.html let me know what you think 🙃
The singer is Asami. She spent 2 yrs in the USA trying to start a singing career in R & B and Soul. She worked as a backup vocalist, but not much more success that she went back to Japan and auditioned for this band.
Thank you for reacting to Lovebites!!! Since you’re a vocal coach, I guess you would be interested about the lead vocalist (Asami) background. Before joining Lovebites in 2016, becoming a metal-singer, she was previously an RnB and Jazz singer (she has had vocal coaching), and she is also a trained (for a decade or so) ballet dancer, hence her fluid arm movements you could see and appreciate especially during live shows. Asami’s voice is a classic mezzo-soprano. She doesn’t have the top notes of a soprano, but she can easily drop down to the lower range of an alto when necessary. She could sing whatever she wants - opera, pop, jazz, rhythm and blues, you name it. Asami puts everything into every song. She said in an interview that she always sings as if it’s the last time she ever will. She is just 5'0" tall, but her presence on stage is absolutely noticeable: during the live shows she commands the crowd, even without saying a word (during the singing breaks). She is a power-house, with a lot of vocal stamina and one of the best lead-singer & front-women in the Metal scene these days!! Her nickname within the Lovebites fan base (Wolfpack) is: The One & Only Voice !!!
A very interesting reaction video from a woman who herself has great knowledge of the art of singing. Thank you for your opinion, that was very good. I've been a big LOVEbites fan for 3 years and fans never get enough so : S u g g e s t i o n s for next reaction V i d e o s: ALL LIVE !!! (Copy the following sentence lines and enter them into the UA-cam search bar, you will find the videos) Set The World On Fire - live from "Ride For Vengeance Tour 2021 - Tokyo Dome City Hall The Hammer Of Wrath - Zepp Diver City live 2020 Thunder Vengeance - Zepp Diver City live 2020 Break the Wall - Zepp Diver City live 2020 Members : Asami : Vocals, Piano Haruna Ishikawa : Drums Midori Tatematsu : Lead Guitar, backing vocals Miyako Watanabe : Lead Guitar, Keyboard , Piano, Keytar, backing vocals FAMI : Bass Founder : Miho Rosana : Bass (2016-2021) INFO : Miyako + Midori are the best guitar duo in 3 decades !

So glad you got round to Lovebites, and such a great reaction.. I hope you will do more, they are a phenominal band, check out some of their Ballads.. Frozen serenade, Epilogue, Empty daydream.. She has such great range, you will love these... I am really keen to see what you think of Mayu from Nemophila.. Another all female Japanese Heavy metal band.. Check out Revive.. ua-cam.com/video/zmRmVc4u18w/v-deo.html If you dare... Best wishes from France
10 months is too long to go without Lovebites! It's time for more! They've released a ton of videos from their newest show "Knockin at Heavens Gate". I recommend Hammer of Wrath, but you can't go wrong with any of them. Great video!

I loved your reaction to these wonderful girls. I was just waiting for the moment when you would react to them. Lovebites is an amazing band. Another amazing Japanese metal band is Galneryus, they are all virtuoso musicians. You need to react to the song "The force of courage"(Live 2016)
They have a few songs that show their range. Swansong live with Chopin Intro Edge of the World live Five of a Kind Scream For Me live Daughters of the Dawn And Winds of Transylvania. Watch all 4 and you'll get a real picture of their talent
I LOVE watching reactors seeing their first Lovebites song. It gives me joy to see another person find this awesome group. In my opinion, Lovebites are the most talented musicians in a hard music band in the world today. They are elite level. For some (Western) people, the vocals can be problematic, as the singer (Asami) is singing in a non-native language (English), and so her pronunciation and enunciation are imperfect. But to fans, her vocal style is a feature, not a bug.
Wolfpack 🐺 UK here, welcome to the wonderful world of Lovebites these ladies are the most talented of musicians you'll hear for a long time. There are plenty of great songs for you to react to & the Wolfpack will guide you through the Forest of Lovebites music 🎶 enjoy 🤘🎸🥁🎤🎹🔥
I am Japanese. I'm a big fan of this song. I read the Japanese translation of your video. I've become your big fan. I also love the change from 7:04. (And the changes that will come after that.)
Now you have to react to Band Maid! They have two vocalists, Saiki is the main vocalist, with Miku on backups and lead on some songs. I recommend the live version of Domination.
My formative years were mid 70’s thru mid 80’s and classic rock, hard rock, and metal was what I landed on. I would have never anticipated that by the 2020’s it would be little Japanese women carrying on the tradition. So much good out of Japan.
I'd love to see what you think of a couple of barbershop quartets. I recommend Bluegrass Student Union and Ringmasters (especially the latter's version of the Hunchback of Notre Dame medley). Some great performances, both as harmonic groups, but also as individuals. I think both quartets would blow your mind!
Believe me, Holy War is merely the beginning. You have to do any other too, they don't have bad somgs. The natural second choice would be Swan Song, with piano.
LOVEBITES new songs Judgement Day, Dissonance, live songs Set The World On Fire, Break The Wall, Raise Some Hell.. Its time to check Japanese J-Rock/Metal Bands NEMOPHILA(all female) - songs Seize The Fate, Revive, Dissension, Raitei.. BAND-MAID(all female) - live songs Freedom, Domination, Play, Dice, Thrill, Influencer, Real Existence, HANABIE(all female) - songs We Love Sweets, NEET GAME, Pardon Me.. TRIDENT-JAPAN(all female) - songs Voltage, No Regret.. ASTERISM(female guitarist) - songs Dawn, Rising Moon, Church, Blaze..
Anyway, there is no end to this band, from the individual members to the songs, from the history of the band to the instruments. There are too many things to write about! It's a band that talks so long that it's hard to believe that it's been a few years since they formed! とにかく、このバンドはメンバー個人の事から楽曲の事、バンドの歴史から楽器の事まで、書き出したら終わりが有りません。色々と書く事が多すぎます！ とても結成から数年のバンドとは思えない程、話が長くなるバンドです！
Love Bites are such a good choice. They make the phrase 'Girl Power' seem like a joke when you see some acts it has been applied to. LB's material just never stops, and it is rock solid on talent and skill. When you listen to Japanese radio, you hear a lot of really breathy, quiet female vocalists, where the sound has to be measured against their voice. They would be completely washed away in front of this much sound. It's obvious that Asami was never focused on developing in that direction as she has worked hard to develop a sound as strong and stable has she displays here (although her focus was not actually metal). The guitars have flair, speed and harmony and the drums...holy cow, does Haruna drive through this stuff at break neck speed. One song I haven't seen listed here in the comments is When Destinies Align, where give you ju~st a hint that the song may be resolving before the guitars absolutely howl like banshees against each other in one of the most intense duo solos I have ever seen. People heard the studio recording and assumed there was NO WAY they would ever be able to reproduce it live. Guess again.

There are so many superb female vocalists fronting musically excellent Japanese bands - Lovebites, Band-Maid, Babymetal, Wagakki Band, Nemophila to name but a few.
I wanted to leave a comment for a band suggestion you should make a reaction video for next. after I saw some video on your channel, it seems you also need to get to know them. they are Voice of Baceprot, a heavy metal rock band female trio from Indonesia. they have already made their trip for shows in europe 2 times in 2021 and 2022 and performed at wacken open air. I recommend you react to their singles like, God Allow me please to play music, School Revolution, Not public Property, and PMS (Perempuan Merdeka Seutuhnya or Women are completely free in English). or you can also react to the songs they have cover like enter sandman, sabotage, or got the time. You can also watch them live like when they appear at the Rennes, Wacken, or Pasiwali festivals. I hope my recommendations reach you and you can make reaction videos in the future. Regards 🔥🔥
Great reaction! I enjoy hearing new artists on UA-cam that are phenomenal! I am surprised that you have not reacted to Liliac (Lil-E-ak). Check out Sail Away and Mars (Live), or any of their covers and originals. The two I mentioned are originals.👍🌹❤️
Definitely both songs are well worth the listen I love Sail Away it is their first attempt at a ballad and it came out amazing and Mars I love Sam's solo to start it off.
You haven't reacted to Rachelle Ferrell till now? Seriously, she's the best there is, no one sings like her. Her technique, control, range and emotional expression is from another planet. I bet you've never seen a female singer like her. Have a listen to live at the Apollo "with open arms" or "I can explain" live. You won't regret it!
Lovebites are excellent, they and a related band Nemophila (they both have ex-Destrose members), have been getting a lot of attention lately for good reason. Destrose was a pioneering all female Japanese Heavy Metal band that never had commercial success and suffered from member turnover (about 19), which has spawned about a dozen bands and a handful of solo careers. The singer of Nemophila, Mayu, is also excellent but in a different way than Asami of Lovebites; NEMOPHILA / DISSENSION [Official Live Video] ua-cam.com/video/6zH045LdjBo/v-deo.html . Lately Lovebites has been promoting another related new band Lonesome_Blue (again ex-Destrose member) which is more of a rock/metal fusion/hybrid, and yes the singer, Maiko Nomura, is excellent but in a different way than Asami or Mayu; Lonesome_Blue「Face The Fear」 ua-cam.com/video/57My6iSPBl4/v-deo.html (no live videos yet). They have been described as Lovebites Lite and as compitition to Band-Maid. Though you have not done Band-Maid yet, which is maybe a bit surprising, BAND-MAID / DOMINATION (Official Live Video) ua-cam.com/video/QbyQCJn6rYg/v-deo.html .
The past couple of years I've gone from listening to entirely western metal to listening to 90% Japanese metal, with LOVEBITES reigning supreme. Didn't see that coming. 🐺
Me too... They are just so skilled.
Last night I was perusing the concerts I could go to this year and in March Saxon and WASP are playing locally both celebrating 40 years. Having seen them in the mid 80s amongst many other great acts of that decade I decided to watch the 2021 Tokyo concert of Lovebites. Two hours and few beers later I decided not to revisit my past! Having seen Lovebites play alongside Dragonforce I decided to wait and see Lovebites again amongst others!! 😎🤟
@noelle3551 I missed out on Lovebites when they visited the UK, as I hadn't discovered them at that time. Have been lucky enough to see Megadeth play live twice and meet Mustaine and Kiko. The No1 goal now is to see Lovebites and then Unlucky Morpheus...saving the pennies for that day. 🐺
Me too, ever since I discovered Aldious and Gacharic Spin in 2012 and almost exclusively since discoverering Lovebites in in 2017.
@@faintsmile88 I know Lovebites play in March for 2 concerts in Tokyo and later in the Summer a tour of Japan. Tickets for March are sold out as for the summer I would expect the same!! As for other groups I would like to see Waggaki band, Jinjer and another group from Ukraine, Ignea!! I met the guitarist from Dio now with Def Leppard on a few occasions before joining Dio, my friend Keith who plays Keyboards with Quire boys, many a drink together and also with Les Binks former Drummer with Judas Priest
Asami gets lots of breaks when the guitars sing.😊 The drummer never gets a break. Poor Haruna. Good for us though 🤣
Lol ikr it's nice the guitar solos and duets give Asami a break. Haruna however, no break only speed! 🤣
Haruna beats those drums like they took her boyfriend and she wants him back ]:)
I always love when the camera cuts to Haruna. She's so tiny and is surrounded by such a huge drum set, and she's kicking so much ass.
Little Big Engine, metal drummers are absolute machines.
Power metal no break... Sepultura yes, nice breaks.
Asami on vocals, Miyako and Midori on guitar, Miho on bass here, Haruna on drums. Miho left in 2021. Fami joined as the new bassist , late 2022.
The band was named after the Grammy winning Halestorm song, Love Bites (So Do I). Lead singer , Asami, has been on stage with Halestorm performing that song.
Btw, did you see the piano on stage? It's not just for show, try Swan Song to see Miyako play a Chopin intro.
I had no idea!? I just watched a video of Asami singing with Halestorm. 🤯
Awesome!! Asami's background before joining LOVEBITES was in R&B and Soul music!! This is her first time singing in a metal band and she sounds amazing!! 🤘🐺🤘
Lovebites play many styles, from heavy fast metal like this, to beautiful ballads!! Thank you very much!!
The guitarist on the right, who writes much of the music, gets to show her top notch classical piano skills on "Swan Song - Live with Chopin Intro".
Lead vocalist Asami has a background in R&B and soul music. Midori and Miyako are one of the best guitar duo's in Metal music today!
Next Lovebites song: "A Frozen Serenade" Live!
ASAMI is so perfect for LOVEBITES 🤘🐺🤘
Oh yes! Finally! They've become literally my favorite band, especially to listen to and watch live. So musically gifted, and so much talent on stage. They all have really interesting backgrounds, and Asami's voice has so much depth and power. She's got an R&B background, which may be where you're picking up those Broadway sort of belts. She didn't know what metal even was until she was invited to sing here. Miyako (guitarist stage left) is a classical pianist. The white dresses have a story. On founding the band they decided they wanted to show that metal could be a positive thing, so they only wear white, and only sing positive lyrics. I really hope you do another one that showcases both Asami's range and Miyako's talents.
The typical recommendation there would be one of the "E" songs. I'll go with the lesser reacted "Empty Daydream" which also features some really nice vocal harmonies, but "Edge of the World" is glorious. "Swan Song" (with the Chopin intro) is a straight up masterpiece though, and I'd recommend that too. If you want more of this unbridled chaos, then I'd highly recommend the show opener "Thunder Vengeance" (live from Zepp - this show). It's amazing. "Set the World on Fire" showcases more of her belting and has an amazing chorus and solo section. I'm glad you enjoyed this. I have been suggesting it and waiting to see what you thought. I hope you do more, but I am glad you got to see them. Have a wonderful day Bethany!
熱いコメントですね。ありがとう。（大ファンです）
This Bloody band has taken over my life! And I'm lovin it. 🐺🤘
Yep - I know what you mean.
One of the best band in any genre especially LIVE. Here the little stage general Asami (4' 10") who never sang metal till she joined LB, thunders out over world class musicians who blend the best of classical metal with classic music influences and elevates it to a whole new level in their unique style. Asami was a backup R & B/Soul/Jazz singer as well as a trained ballerina. She defines this band, class, grace, femininity and then plain in your face talent. Dressed in white as they are all petite and easier to see on stage, their high heels and love of their music makes this a must see. First all female Japanese band to play Wacken Open Air where they stunned the metalhead crowd. If you want to really hear Asami try Empty Daydream, Epilogue, or Edge of the World LIVE. The masterpiece Swab Song with Chopin Etude intro is also a must ua-cam.com/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/v-deo.html.
I hear you. My advice is not to bother with those who are ignorant and I don't give the the space they crave. Asami is unique among Japanese lead vocalist in metal bands. Many still don't like her high sound and lack of growling. Fine your opinion , I hate growling per se but accept it. Asami is as good a singer as any and while she is no Floor, she is just as dominant on stage and is perfect for this band. I have had debates about her but with people I respect not trolls. Her and Haruna at 4' 9" are an inspiration to anyone that size only holds your talent it doesn't define it. Those that chose to skip this band are the losers, one of the best 5 bands I have ever experienced in a lifetime that goes back to Cream (1966-68).when you have experienced people like Hendrix live as I was lucky enough to, well you can be sure my designation is well earned by this group of world class musicians. My friends still insist having this much talent in one band is illegal and they should be broken up (LOL). Rather than wasting time on trolls spend it listening to music you love, you will be a lot happier and the trolls will have to find someone else to try and waste their time not enjoying great music. There is so much great music and not enough time to truly enjoy it so I prefer to ignore the trolls. Your taste is great and those that disagree are losing out!!
Welcome to lovebites, for me this is the best metal band out (male or female) now, this ladys are so good, every one from lovebites are super star with their talents and skills on instruments,the music so wild, LOVEBITES ROCK
The next step could be "Chopin etude+Swan song", then one's 3E songs: "Edge of the World", "Empty daydream" and "Epilogue" and finally "Frozen serenade". Thanks.
Thanks for the reaction to this phenomenal band. Asami (lead vocals) R&B, Soul, Jazz singer and ballerina . Before joining LOVEBITES, she didn't know what heavy metal was. Asami was engaged in the classic ballet for about 16 years. This is noticeable by her movements on stage, especially by hand movements .
“We are LIVEBITES, and we play Heavy Metal!” This was a great choice. The video includes complete lyrics if you turn on CC. ASAMI demonstrates her three-octave range in their latest MV, JUDGEMENT DAY.
Great analysis of the vocals. 🤘
Thanks 😎
Asami rocks 🎤
Glory to Lovebites 🤘 🐺 🔥
In a 2021 concert a few years after this one, Asami held the final note 7 seconds longer. Her top range has an even higher octave in other songs. Most notebly in a Lovebites cover of Judas Priest's 'Painkiller'. Asami note for note can hang and nearly matches with Robert Halford. The cover itself is problebly the best cover ever done on Painkiller.
If you want to hear the beautiful & emotional voice from the vocalist, pls check their ballad song called : Epilogue, and ofcourse it's from their live concert.
Thank you for the reaction🤘
And Edge of the World, of course.
Frozen serenade too
Especially their guitar performance is wonderful
Thank you for your reaction! It was really good - and I think you would really love the live version of Edge of the World (LOVEBITES - Edge of the World (Five of a Kind, 21/02/2020)) - it showcases Miyako on piano, and Asami's range really well.
A very talented group of musicians. Thank God that the Japanese have carried on true heavy metal that I loved in the 80's. Their new album Judgement Day due out this week.
"Swan Song with Chopin intro" by guitarist Miyako . Live in Tokyo , is a must see by these girls.
Congratulations, you just found the best new metal band to come along in decades. In their first five years of existence, they put themselves on par with the greatest bands of metal’s golden age. Other reviewers have described them as alien superheroes disguised as young women, angels, princesses of metal, and angry bridesmaids. They recently went on a year-and-a half hiatus while they searched for a new bassist. They announced the new bassist in October 2022 (see below) and dropped their first new song, “Judgement Day” on December 22. Some background:
They were formed in 2016 from the remnants of a legendary all-girl Japanese metal band called Destrose (yes, all-girl metal has been a thing in Japan since at least 1981). Miho (bass, chief headbanger and founder of the band) had a vision of a new band in the style of the great European bands of the golden age of metal. She recruited her former bandmate Haruna (drums, 4'9" “pocket nuclear reactor”); they needed two world-class guitarists, and so they went and found Midori and Miyako, who were with other groups. The four of them then found Asami, the singer, who was doing soul and blues at the time (she was also trained in ballet).
Miyako has composed a little more than half of their music, with Miho composing a lot of their thrashier songs in collaboration with Mao, the lead composer of another band called Lightbringer. Midori has also been getting into the act, and they regularly perform a song written by Haruna as well. Asami writes most of the lyrics and is also getting involved in composing.
In mid-2021, Miho left the band she had founded, for personal reasons. They recently announced their new bassist, Fami, who is a young phenom and herself a composer and multi-instrumentalist. Their first song with Fami is “Judgement Day” ua-cam.com/video/m3uGjp-P7DI/v-deo.html
The instrumentalists studied all the great historical metal bands going back to Purple and Sabbath, through Maiden, Priest, Metallica, Helloween, Slayer etc. They have incorporated some of the best of each of those bands into their arsenal, and have created a sound that is fresh and cutting edge while paying tribute to the old masters. They toured with Dragonforce in 2019, and word from those in attendance was that next time around, it will be the ladies headlining.
They do everything from soulful power ballads to heavy thrash. Almost every song includes face-melting solos by Miyako and Midori. The two guitarists are quite different in style and tone. Midori (blonde ponytail) is the extrovert and speed demon; Miyako is the introvert, with the more soulful feel (though she can also shred like crazy). Midori uses a cleaner tone, Miyako uses more distortion, pinch harmonics and pedal effects. The contrast makes their duets rich and dynamic. It doesn’t hurt that either one can smoke most of the shredders in the classic metal bands. As another reviewer said, "It seems criminal these two are allowed to be in the same band."
Here are more clips you should check out:
“Set the World on Fire” ua-cam.com/video/99zsH6iG_6c/v-deo.html from their 2021 concert DVD “Heavy Metal Never Dies”.
“Don’t Bite the Dust” ua-cam.com/video/oHnKGEj1CMc/v-deo.html, from the same concert;
"Edge of the World" and "We the United", back to back: ua-cam.com/video/sl0-U-ykJCU/v-deo.html They form an incredible journey from darkness and despair to light and hope.
Also, “Empty Daydream”, which starts as a ballad and becomes a real rocker: ua-cam.com/video/lXh_uMM94jU/v-deo.html;
Perhaps their greatest masterpiece, a showcase of multi-instrumental virtuosity and even classical dance “A Frozen Serenade” ua-cam.com/video/Ae8pQVu-RN8/v-deo.html;
Miyako is also a virtuoso concert pianist, and was headed for a career in classical music, before picking up the guitar. If you want to see what she can do on the piano, watch “Swan Song” WITH the prelude, which is Chopin’s “Revolutionary Etude” (official name Étude Opus 10, No. 12 in C minor). Miyako wrote “Swan Song” using elements from several classical pieces including the Etude. This link should work: ua-cam.com/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/v-deo.html.
For a thrasher with heavy Slayer and Metallica vibes, “Break the Wall” ua-cam.com/video/5Pc0XK0lNmU/v-deo.html includes two gorgeous and completely contrasting solos by M&M.
For a heart-stopping ballad, “Epilogue” ua-cam.com/video/1ynnXDfEnnY/v-deo.html (this includes a second song, your choice whether or not to react to both)
Finally, while you will sometimes hear you should only react to live clips, actually their MV’s are epic and worth seeing. Here are four of the most spectacular:
"Shadowmaker" ua-cam.com/video/Brmoln5Gxus/v-deo.html
This is the song that blew up and melted faces all over the world
"When Destinies Align" ua-cam.com/video/hLFelI93VkM/v-deo.html
"Glory to the World" ua-cam.com/video/-wJtD2XEXH4/v-deo.html
"Winds of Transylvania" ua-cam.com/video/HsE4Ub_Pjh8/v-deo.html.
You'll get lots of suggestions, just one thing: don't bother with Bloodstock footage, the sound quality is poor. Best to take suggestions with actual links. Also, you can’t go wrong with any of their official clips. Welcome to the Wolf-Pack!
I only heard them for the first time about 3 months ago(this video!), and I starting kicking myself for not starting sooner.
I also recommend 'Swan Song', as several people already have. I also recommend 'Judgement Day', which just came out over the holidays and showcases their new bassist, and it's a bit more symphonic.
LOVEBITES - Holy War lyrics:
Look at those black clouds, it’s going to rain blood
People live in fear, covered in mud
Singing oh Gloria to change the prophecy
We are the metal warriors
Fighting the darkness for sisters
There is a thousand, a thousand of evils
Hush, do not wake up Satan’s devils
Singing Hallelujah to save our majesty
We are the metal warriors
Fighting the darkness for brothers
Shining blade and burning heart
Into the Gates of Hell we march
Immortal soul, let there be light
Into the Eye of Heaven
Eagles at a holy war
Fly higher than the sun
We are one for all and all for one forevermore
SOLO: midori
Kingdom of Heaven, never shall we fall
Reincarnation, wait for your call
Singing oh, Gloria to change the prophecy
We are the metal warriors
Fighting the darkness for sisters
Morning star and dying moon
Into the Gates of Hell we march
Mighty soul, let there be hope
Into the Eye of Heaven
Eagles at a holy war
Fly higher than the sun
Stand up in the name of the God of heavy metal
What do we live for？What do we fight for, tonight？
But the world is beautiful, worth fighting for
Only have one thing on our mind
Facing the fate, holy war
SOLO: miyako / midori / both
Singing Hallelujah to save our majesty
We are the metal warriors
Fighting the darkness for brothers
Shining blade and burning heart
Into the Gates of Hell we march
Immortal soul, let there be light
Into the Eye of Heaven
Eagles at a holy war
Fly higher than the sun
We are one for all and all for one forevermore
What do we live for？What do we fight for, tonight？
But the world is beautiful, worth fighting for
Only have one thing on our mind
Facing the fate, holy war

Awesome that you found these special ladies, hope you listen to more!
I’m so glad you’re finally doing this. Amazing band!
Kinda surprised to see you here but glad at the same time. These ladies are the real deal. Great reaction 👏
On Tuesday the 21st at 6am Eastern Standard Time they will be having an online stream of their new Album that drops on Wednesday the gals will be in the chat and after the livestream they will release the 2nd Music Video ahead of the release. so fans can hear the whole album early and chat with the gals ]:)
Wolfpack is here for LOVEBITES! 🤘🏼🐺🤘🏼
Keep going. You just got a taste of what this band can do.
I recommend: "Epilogue", "Frozen Serenade", and "Empty Daydream" next.
Thank you. Really, thank you. Asami is the vocalist of a band I consider the best I’ve ever heard in 50 years of listening to music. She also happens to be my favourite band member…but the margins are extremely slender! I’ve been pleading with what few vocal experts I know on UA-cam to listen to Asami because she is rock’s best kept secret when it comes to vocals. The reason I only know a handful of vocal channels is because night after night I try to catch every Lovebites reaction, especially first time reactions.
Honestly, I don’t think Holy War is the best song to introduce someone to her vocals. The band, yes, because it’s a great example of the wall of sound that they can produce, but it doesn’t give Asami much variety, whereas the majority of their songs do. There is a recording of a live performance of Holy War from the live DVD a little over a year later, and the improvement is noticeable. On their latest releases she’s even more impressive, seriously.
I would recommend you check out “Empty Daydream” from “Daughters of the Dawn” (2019) to see how sweet her voice is and how much passion she puts into a moving but still upbeat vocal performance.
ua-cam.com/video/lXh_uMM94jU/v-deo.html
Lovebites are masters of their craft. Nice fact about Asami she started as R&B singer.
I have been hoping to hear your reaction to this band after hearing other reactions online.
You seem to have realized that a good portion of your viewers are not aspiring vocalists but people who love music and your re-action videos reflect this. Yours is my favorite reaction to this song - I felt like we were hanging together enjoying the music. Your insights are always appreciated and enjoyable. You are growing and my own long time (I'm 65) enjoyment of music is increased by your work on this channel. Thank-you.!
Your comment on the vocals floating above the chaos, is a perfect description of Power Metal.
Wow that pace/tempo was frenetic! And the vocal contrast was stunning! Nice one Beth!
My favourite band.
🤘😝🤘
This is LOVEBITES. This band has no Peer.
on the new music video Judgement Day you can tell she even got better with her vocals she keeps getting better
What a band you just discovered! If you want to see some real skills, I suggest you to go with “Swan Song (+Chopin intro)” next m.ua-cam.com/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/v-deo.html
Enjoy! 🐺🤘🏻
I just watched recently the singer Asami perform at a night club almost 12 years ago. It is a nice point of reference to see where she came from and in truth I love watching these again and again!

WOW! Just the first 10 seconds and I noticed how good they are as musicians. The drummer is phenomenal and the guitarist is equally phenomenal!
The singer is Asami. She spent 2 yrs in the USA trying to start a singing career in R & B and Soul. She worked as a backup vocalist, but not much more success that she went back to Japan and auditioned for this band.
Thank you for reacting to Lovebites!!!
Since you’re a vocal coach, I guess you would be interested about the lead vocalist (Asami) background.
Before joining Lovebites in 2016, becoming a metal-singer, she was previously an RnB and Jazz singer (she has had vocal coaching), and she is also a trained (for a decade or so) ballet dancer, hence her fluid arm movements you could see and appreciate especially during live shows.
Asami’s voice is a classic mezzo-soprano. She doesn’t have the top notes of a soprano, but she can easily drop down to the lower range of an alto when necessary. She could sing whatever she wants - opera, pop, jazz, rhythm and blues, you name it.
Asami puts everything into every song. She said in an interview that she always sings as if it’s the last time she ever will.
She is just 5'0" tall, but her presence on stage is absolutely noticeable: during the live shows she commands the crowd, even without saying a word (during the singing breaks).
She is a power-house, with a lot of vocal stamina and one of the best lead-singer & front-women in the Metal scene these days!!
Her nickname within the Lovebites fan base (Wolfpack) is: The One & Only Voice !!!
My favorite group they have an incredible. Asami a lot of presence👍
you should do lovebites - epilogue next, it’s a power ballad from these girls and the singing and instrumental is great
A very interesting reaction video from a woman who herself has great knowledge of the art of singing. Thank you for your opinion, that was very good.
I've been a big LOVEbites fan for 3 years and fans never get enough so :

Amazing song! Love your interpretation of it. I saw them in concert around 2009 and they put on an absolutely great show.
I loved your reaction to these wonderful girls. I was just waiting for the moment when you would react to them. Lovebites is an amazing band. Another amazing Japanese metal band is Galneryus, they are all virtuoso musicians. You need to react to the song "The force of courage"(Live 2016)
Thank you, this is a wonderful reaction and break down of their sound!
Thank you for reacting to Lovebites.
Asami's breath control is off the charts. wow...
They have a few songs that show their range.
Swansong live with Chopin Intro
Edge of the World live Five of a Kind
Scream For Me live Daughters of the Dawn
And Winds of Transylvania.
Watch all 4 and you'll get a real picture of their talent
Super reaction. Uplifting power metal. Incredible musicians. Great song writing. Your so cute)
Good review, Frozen Serenade will blown your mind 👍
LOVEBITES 🐺 INCREDIBLE
Here for my daily Lovebites fix 🐺
Cool as a cucumber 😂🥰 love it , don’t hear that much anymore. 👍
I LOVE watching reactors seeing their first Lovebites song. It gives me joy to see another person find this awesome group.
In my opinion, Lovebites are the most talented musicians in a hard music band in the world today. They are elite level.
For some (Western) people, the vocals can be problematic, as the singer (Asami) is singing in a non-native language (English), and so her pronunciation and enunciation are imperfect. But to fans, her vocal style is a feature, not a bug.
I was happy to see you check out LOVEBITES. All of them are unbelievably talented. Miyako 💐💐
Wolfpack 🐺 UK here, welcome to the wonderful world of Lovebites these ladies are the most talented of musicians you'll hear for a long time. There are plenty of great songs for you to react to & the Wolfpack will guide you through the Forest of Lovebites music 🎶 enjoy 🤘🎸🥁🎤🎹🔥
what a beautiful reactioner!
"Look at those black clouds, it's going to rain blood"
"People live in fear, covered in mud!"
I am Japanese. I'm a big fan of this song.
I read the Japanese translation of your video.
I've become your big fan.
I also love the change from 7:04. (And the changes that will come after that.)
Now you have to react to Band Maid! They have two vocalists, Saiki is the main vocalist, with Miku on backups and lead on some songs. I recommend the live version of Domination.
They are so amazing ❤❤❤
My formative years were mid 70’s thru mid 80’s and classic rock, hard rock, and metal was what I landed on. I would have never anticipated that by the 2020’s it would be little Japanese women carrying on the tradition. So much good out of Japan.
The singer, Asami, started out as a blues/ r&b/ gospel-ish style artist.
Yesss Lovebites on your channel yesssssssss
I'd love to see what you think of a couple of barbershop quartets. I recommend Bluegrass Student Union and Ringmasters (especially the latter's version of the Hunchback of Notre Dame medley). Some great performances, both as harmonic groups, but also as individuals. I think both quartets would blow your mind!
Believe me, Holy War is merely the beginning. You have to do any other too, they don't have bad somgs. The natural second choice would be Swan Song, with piano.
If you liked this one, you should check Swang song by them. I bet you really love that. They put that Roland in that stage to work. Lol

TRIDENT-JAPAN(all female) - songs Voltage, No Regret..
ASTERISM(female guitarist) - songs Dawn, Rising Moon, Church, Blaze..
Anyway, there is no end to this band, from the individual members to the songs, from the history of the band to the instruments. There are too many things to write about!
It's a band that talks so long that it's hard to believe that it's been a few years since they formed!
とにかく、このバンドはメンバー個人の事から楽曲の事、バンドの歴史から楽器の事まで、書き出したら終わりが有りません。色々と書く事が多すぎます！
とても結成から数年のバンドとは思えない程、話が長くなるバンドです！
THANK YOU😆💕✨🙏🇯🇵
I love your reactions. You need to react to Band Maid. If you like Lovebites, you’ll LOVE Band Maid. Domination or Freedom live.
Give a reaction to the song from karsu neredesin sen (where are you). Try not to cry if thats possible.
Please react more lovebites live performance 🎸

Love Bites are such a good choice. They make the phrase 'Girl Power' seem like a joke when you see some acts it has been applied to. LB's material just never stops, and it is rock solid on talent and skill. When you listen to Japanese radio, you hear a lot of really breathy, quiet female vocalists, where the sound has to be measured against their voice. They would be completely washed away in front of this much sound. It's obvious that Asami was never focused on developing in that direction as she has worked hard to develop a sound as strong and stable has she displays here (although her focus was not actually metal). The guitars have flair, speed and harmony and the drums...holy cow, does Haruna drive through this stuff at break neck speed. One song I haven't seen listed here in the comments is When Destinies Align, where give you ju~st a hint that the song may be resolving before the guitars absolutely howl like banshees against each other in one of the most intense duo solos I have ever seen. People heard the studio recording and assumed there was NO WAY they would ever be able to reproduce it live. Guess again.

"WE ARE LOVEBITES AND WE PLAY HEAVYYYY METAAAAL!!!"
Stay safe. Stay Lovebites
I love them! I recommend ” Glory To The World" ua-cam.com/video/-wJtD2XEXH4/v-deo.html
Also their new song " Judgement day " ua-cam.com/video/m3uGjp-P7DI/v-deo.html You will love it!
Lovebites have released a New video I think you might like it 🤘 it's on UA-cam 👍
There are so many superb female vocalists fronting musically excellent Japanese bands - Lovebites, Band-Maid, Babymetal, Wagakki Band, Nemophila to name but a few.
Asami is a force of nature
They seem to be channeling the 1970's metal rock.
Focus on asami's neck muscles, in some shots you can see them working overtime. Amazing control 🤘😁
You also need to check out Versailles Serenade
The singer has an incredible voice
I wanted to leave a comment for a band suggestion you should make a reaction video for next. after I saw some video on your channel, it seems you also need to get to know them. they are Voice of Baceprot, a heavy metal rock band female trio from Indonesia. they have already made their trip for shows in europe 2 times in 2021 and 2022 and performed at wacken open air.
I recommend you react to their singles like, God Allow me please to play music, School Revolution, Not public Property, and PMS (Perempuan Merdeka Seutuhnya or Women are completely free in English). or you can also react to the songs they have cover like enter sandman, sabotage, or got the time. You can also watch them live like when they appear at the Rennes, Wacken, or Pasiwali festivals.
I hope my recommendations reach you and you can make reaction videos in the future.
Regards 🔥🔥
I would like that you reacted to Galneryus - Silent revelation live 2016, one of the best power metal bands in japan, greetings
Great reaction! I enjoy hearing new artists on UA-cam that are phenomenal!
I am surprised that you have not reacted to Liliac (Lil-E-ak). Check out Sail Away and Mars (Live), or any of their covers and originals. The two I mentioned are originals.👍🌹❤️
Definitely both songs are well worth the listen I love Sail Away it is their first attempt at a ballad and it came out amazing and Mars I love Sam's solo to start it off.
You haven't reacted to Rachelle Ferrell till now? Seriously, she's the best there is, no one sings like her. Her technique, control, range and emotional expression is from another planet. I bet you've never seen a female singer like her. Have a listen to live at the Apollo "with open arms" or "I can explain" live. You won't regret it!
Welcome to the wolfpack ]:) you have been lovebitten ]:)
Maybe. We'll see if she does more Lovebites songs.
React to Indian classical kaushki chakraborty song raag bhimpalasi plzz
Lovebites are excellent, they and a related band Nemophila (they both have ex-Destrose members), have been getting a lot of attention lately for good reason. Destrose was a pioneering all female Japanese Heavy Metal band that never had commercial success and suffered from member turnover (about 19), which has spawned about a dozen bands and a handful of solo careers. The singer of Nemophila, Mayu, is also excellent but in a different way than Asami of Lovebites; NEMOPHILA / DISSENSION [Official Live Video] ua-cam.com/video/6zH045LdjBo/v-deo.html .
Lately Lovebites has been promoting another related new band Lonesome_Blue (again ex-Destrose member) which is more of a rock/metal fusion/hybrid, and yes the singer, Maiko Nomura, is excellent but in a different way than Asami or Mayu; Lonesome_Blue「Face The Fear」 ua-cam.com/video/57My6iSPBl4/v-deo.html (no live videos yet). They have been described as Lovebites Lite and as compitition to Band-Maid. Though you have not done Band-Maid yet, which is maybe a bit surprising, BAND-MAID / DOMINATION (Official Live Video) ua-cam.com/video/QbyQCJn6rYg/v-deo.html .
I love "Revive" even better it's nonstop go with exhilleration from the start
@@evilvolts Yes but she likes to react to live versions of the song, which limits what is available.
as much as i love this song,.. Swan song is my favorite with the chopin intro it just fits : but i love your reaction
Welcome to the Wolfpack! Buckle up, it’s going to be quite a ride lol!
Do you know who was Elvis's favorite female singer was? please review Anne Murray
