"La Campanella" by Hungarian Romantic-era composer Franz Liszt is widely considered by professional musicians as one of the most difficult piano pieces to play. Liszt composed "La Campanella" as a transcription of a violin piece by Niccolò Paganini. The original was already renowned for its difficulty on the violin, and Liszt's adaptation elevates the challenge for pianists even further. BTW, this video was a rip from the LIVE stream of the Tokyo leg of Lovebites' "Judgement Day" tour held last year. As such, what you have witnessed was raw with no post-production and yet the ladies still sounded awesome ! Having said that, the band is releasing a properly mixed & mastered LIVE LP from this very concert on August 28 called "Memorial for the Warrior Souls".
this is said the most difficult piece on the piano, even her teacher said it was too difficult for her, she proved him wrong obviously, there is even a video of Miyako practicing and rehearsing this piece, there is nothing she can't play imo, great song, great reaction, keep it up bro 🤘🤘🤘
There is a new music video of Lovebites: "Soul Defender", from the next EP... released today! Take a look, it's very epic! And don't forget the official live video of "Soldier stands solitarily" released a few days ago...
Actually this is Lost in the Garden with La Campella Intro, the piano intro that Miyaho played. This will be on the soon to be released CD/DVD Memorial for the Warrior Souls.
LOVEBITES - Lost in the Garden lyrics: Eyes blue and waving blond hair Green brooches on her chest Beauty catching the eye of everyone with no doubt
Hear pleasant sound of the harp Time passes like a wind But never bringing season with the flowers and you
Must care, love and stand by one's side to save their souls We are all complicated, delicate, adorable
Can't get close, can't even touch your fragile heart Finally we have met but you disappear I'm chasing pieces of things you left behind Somewhere inside of me still believe that you are here There is a new world that's beyond the sea And searching for the meaning of your last words
Nights giving me the loneliness It's taking breath away Drowning in this darkness, struggling out everytime
As lighted by the sunrise Breeze bringing me the peace Relief that this will be another start of the day
Words sometimes has different meanings that what's said Feelings that can't be put in words are ones that's precious
Can't get close, can't even touch your fragile heart Finally we have met but you disappear I'm chasing pieces of things you left behind Somewhere inside of me still believe that you are here
Can't get close, can't even touch your fragile heart Finally we have met but you disappear I'm chasing pieces of things you left behind Somewhere inside of me still believe that you are here There is a new world that's beyond the sea And searching for the meaning of your last words -----
I absolutely love this song. Perfectly placed in the later 1/2 of the songs of the J.D. Album, right before Dissonance and SSS. A note on the video: the video was a ripped copy of a paid livestream from September 2023, I think a lot of people assumed, myself included, that they wouldn't bother with taking that footage and making a Blu-ray out of it. Well I was wrong, they had many more camera angles, high quality recording and sound was captured correctly separately from this stream. So they made a Blu-ray with some incredible, amazing high quality imagery and with an incredible mix. We previewed the whole Blu-ray on August 12th, they played the whole thing, but the video of course was taken down immediately following the end. This can be heard on three of their recent videos released: "We are the resurrection [Live]" "Rising [Live]", and "Soldier Stands Solitarily [Live]" Great visuals and great sound. Top shelf quality! They have 2 more new songs out live now, "Unchained" which you have already seen, then the new song which is amazing "Soul Defender" came out today! #Lovebites #SoulDefender #MemorialfortheWarriorSouls Both the Blu-ray and the New EP will come out on August 28th
This song is so good on studio version, and as they do, they make it even better live. Good reaction to this one, it doesn't get as much attention as it deserves. 🎹🔥🤘🐺🤘
Miyako has named Fujiko Hemming as her most beloved pianist. F. Hemming is a famous pianist who is a master of La Campanella. Miyako may have had a special attachment to this piece, which is known as a difficult piece, for this live performance. (Incidentally, around the same time as this live performance, the news was announced that F. Hemming had passed away. I pray for her soul, who dedicated her life to La Campanella. Incidentally, the person I currently consider to be the best La Campanella player is the Japanese pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii. ....Sorry for the useless information.) ---------- from Nippon *This text was translated using Google Translate.

Hoping they do this when I see them live. But then I feel that way about all their songs. My estimate is they would need a 7-hour set to do all their songs. I'd be there for that!
Them amazing 5 geniuses of music! It is just not fair to have such an amount of talent and skills stuff-packed in just one band. 😁 What times do we live in, that LOVEBITES showed up, and that so many Japanese Metal bands are "exploding" into the world. BTW: _They all_ (from LOVEBITES) can play piano. More or less. Miyako is the professionally trained one, but all of them can express their musical fantasies at least on a piano. That, of course, helps a lot during songwriting.
This performance is the same as on the new 2CD/2DVD/Blu-ray "Memorial For The Warrior Souls", but much better quality and a different cut (e.g. you can see Asami going to the piano, etc.). Probably Miyako's movement is also better visible... But this one is still good enough for me.
I stand by my humble opinion that she is better on piano than on guitar even though Midori has really helped her become an exceptional guitar player. Then again, this piece is still considered a true test for any real pianist and as usual she just nailed it. Awaiting another LP from her of piano pieces, her debut of 6 metal songs done as only she can is still an awesome LP to experience.
Best band on the planet chap! They have no equal. This is LIVE!!! Holy shit man!!

Miyako has a EP that is her playing metal songs on the Piano. It's really cool.
Actually this is Lost in the Garden with La Campella Intro, the piano intro that Miyaho played. This will be on the soon to be released CD/DVD Memorial for the Warrior Souls.
LOVEBITES - Lost in the Garden lyrics:
Eyes blue and waving blond hair
Green brooches on her chest
Beauty catching the eye of everyone with no doubt
Hear pleasant sound of the harp
Time passes like a wind
But never bringing season with the flowers and you
Must care, love and stand by one's side to save their souls
We are all complicated, delicate, adorable
Can't get close, can't even touch your fragile heart
Finally we have met but you disappear
I'm chasing pieces of things you left behind
Somewhere inside of me still believe that you are here
There is a new world that's beyond the sea
And searching for the meaning of your last words
Nights giving me the loneliness
It's taking breath away
Drowning in this darkness, struggling out everytime
As lighted by the sunrise
Breeze bringing me the peace
Relief that this will be another start of the day
Words sometimes has different meanings that what's said
Feelings that can't be put in words are ones that's precious
Can't get close, can't even touch your fragile heart
Finally we have met but you disappear
I'm chasing pieces of things you left behind
Somewhere inside of me still believe that you are here
Can't get close, can't even touch your fragile heart
Finally we have met but you disappear
I'm chasing pieces of things you left behind
Somewhere inside of me still believe that you are here
There is a new world that's beyond the sea
And searching for the meaning of your last words

Oh the skills Miya displaces 😮 love how she ends the piano and grabs her pick 👌✔️
Please do a reaction, SOUL DEFENDER 🤘 by LOVEBITES ❤🤘
Playing “La Campanella” Live is very difficult, Miyako has played this better, but to play this Live in the middle of a metal concert is not easy! 🤘
Miyako is unreal. This is my favorite Lovebites song; an underrated masterpiece
This song is so good on studio version, and as they do, they make it even better live. Good reaction to this one, it doesn't get as much attention as it deserves. 🎹🔥🤘🐺🤘

Pretty surprising to see there's no railing at band shows... maybe it's a common thing in Japan? Nice video and reaction!
Who's here waiting for the reaction of SOUL DEFENDER by LOVEBITES 🤘👍

I wish the Shredder would check out new shredders. Koiai - A New Picture. Asterism - Dawn. There are tons of songs and groups you would love.
This performance is the same as on the new 2CD/2DVD/Blu-ray "Memorial For The Warrior Souls", but much better quality and a different cut (e.g. you can see Asami going to the piano, etc.). Probably Miyako's movement is also better visible... But this one is still good enough for me.
