![FIRST TIME HEARING LOVEBITES / Holy War [Live] | REACTION](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/_SIwDlWcH38/mqdefault.jpg)
This video is one of the best live music videos on the Internet. It is so well mixed and performed and filmed.
They are the Metal Queens "in prom dresses, lol" If you love harmonized guitar play, with Lovebites you're going to get more than your fill. Midori and Miyako are the best I've ever seen in rock and metal. Next - Hammer of Wrath Live from Knockin' at Heaven's Gate
Looking forward to it!
@@teckreactions Hammer of Wrath, Judgement Day, and A Frozen Serenade, are all good recommendations.
Although the fanbase can be a bit sensitive (like crying about prom dresses and reactors labeling them power metal), the band is definitely worth reacting to. Lots of good stuff.
@@SomethingToDo360In a recent interview with an Italian publication, Midori stated that they mostly play Power Metal. Hopefully that will help put that controversy to rest.
I left a link to it with new bassist Fami
I'd suggest 'Swansong' live from the same gig including the Chopin intro which being an aficionado of music will be of greater interest to you imho. Either way I'm very excited, seeing them here live in 3 weeks time. Take good care of yourself 😊
Great reaction. The guitarist in a long dress is basically a classic musician. That may be the reason why she doesn't move around nor make facial expressions.
Yes + She is also using more the pedals, and she also does more vocals (unfortunately not much shown in their videos)
The contrast with Midori is quite enjoyable ❤🇫🇷
A lot of people have proposed a lot of reasons why Miyako isn't expressive when playing live, but no one knows. She's aware of it, though. I've seen an interviewer ask Miyako about why she never smiles while on stage and Miyako said something like, "Not true! I smiled once."
@@PaleHorseShabuShabu Lol, that is nice!! but I have seen her smiling on stage more than once. lol
Another Great reaction to the Ladies of Lovebites. Yes, they DO rock our faces off in PROM dresses, and no 98% of us are not offended, on the contrary the elegance, charm and beauty combined with the sheer awesome metal music is why I like them so much.. It's a wonderful change from the usual tattoos, leather, black and testosterone stink that is synonymous with metal. Every band have their fanbase sadly with one or two rabid bad apples who are never happy. Unfortunately Lovebites has more than their fair share. Don't worry about it, you just do you, don't change a thing, the humour is good.
For a certified Masterpiece of a song, take a look at A frozen serenade live next for another side of these amazing Ladies.
Best wishes from France👍🤘🇨🇵
Phenomenal band. Midori (light hair) is demonstrative, Miyako (Dark hair) is usually stoic and plays effortlessly (and some intricate riffs). They both shred at an elite level. The 2 contrasts play off each other seamlssly. In 5 decades of listening to metal they are 2 of the best dual guitarists I've heard ever.
exact in one week I see them live :))
Prom dresses for the win. HOLY WAR has perhaps M&M’s best pair of solos. Each is expertly crafted, highly melodic (one can sing along), and flawlessly executed. And I don’t know if I’ve even heard synchronized sweep picking before.
Next, you want SET THE WORLD ON FIRE, BREAK THE WALL, RAISE SOME HELL, THE HAMMER OF WRATH, and THUNDER VENGEANCE. (Are you sending a theme here?)
If any of that becomes overwhelming, take a deep breath and turn to A FROZEN SERENADE or THE EDGE OF THE WORLD to regain your composure.
For me the "best" solos are maybe in "When Destinies Align" because on the one hand, that was the first video i ever saw from them, but then also its like it never ends, just one riff after the other and then the next, and then even more .. also when the camera circled around them, standing back to back .. was just soo epic for a first impression.
Thanks for the reaction and welcome to the rabbit hole 😉 this is going to take a while.
I personally like Miyako's soulful solos and completely calm expression. Miyako is an ice queen, in a positive sense. This group is the most talented I've ever seen.
Japan's gift to the world.
This performance was my introduction to Lovebites awhile ago, and I've concluded they are better than any of the dude metal groups playing now. Much to my surprise...!
We the wolfpack like our metal queens to be beautiful and to feel beautiful.
If you love harmonized guitar solos, you should check out Signs of Deliverance and We the United live. They do harmonized solos in 99% of their songs, but with those two songs, the whole solo is harmonized.
Thanks for the reaction. I don't think fans were offended when you said white prom dresses. LOVEBITES proved that good metal can be played in beautiful white dresses. The ladies consciously made their choice in favor of white dresses. This is their stage image.
When the ladies created the band, they carefully thought through everything (appearance, musical concept, etc.). Their music is rooted in old school metal (New Wave of British Heavy Metal of the 1980s).
The White Wolf is the mascot of LOVEBITES. In Japan, the last wolves became extinct more than 100 years ago. In Japanese tradition, the wolf is a protector of people who warned them about natural disasters .The cover of LOVEBITES' first studio Album, 'Awakening from Abyss' (2017), depicts a Goddess in a white dress and a White Wolf. The idea for the Аlbum cover belongs to Miho (bass), the founder and leader of the band.
The meaning of the title of the Album 'Awakening from Abyss' and its cover: "A Goddess standing on the ruins of a destroyed world preparing to give birth to a new World (the World of Metal)."
All Albums, EPs, DVDs/Blu-rays and other releases of LOVEBITES (except the first 'The Lovebites EP') feature an image of a Wolf (or Wolves). This symbolizes that by playing a non-mainstream metal genre, LOVEBITES are the Lone Wolf of the modern metal scene.
LOVEBITES are the Wolves defending the traditions of old school heavy metal. They try to preserve the best that the great metal bands of the 1980s and 1990s created. And give new life to metal, developing the traditions of the old school of heavy metal. That's why the 2021 Live release of LOVEBITES is called 'Heavy Metal Never Dies'.
The song 'Holy War' has the words:
We are the metal warriors
Fighting the darkness for brothers ...
We are the metal warriors
Fighting the darkness for sisters ...
We are one for all and all for one forevermore ...
Stand up in the name of the God of heavy metal ...
The song 'Holy War' from the third Album 'Electric Pentagram' (2020). In Eastern philosophy, the Pentagram has a positive meaning. It has nothing to do with the Devil. The Five rays of the Star determine the basic parameters of the Universe (Five Elements, ect). But this is a separate topic.
The cover of the Album depicts a Pentagram (Star) and a Wolf. The CD depicts a Star and Five heads of Wolves (between the Five rays of the Star). Five rays = Five Wolf heads = Five members of LOVEBITES. The Pentagram with Five Wolves is a protective amulet.
Why ladies in white dresses:
- White Wolf - the band's mascot.
- Their decision to wear all white is based on the contrast with their heavy music and makes LOVEBITES stand out from other bands.
- All the ladies are short.
Haruna - drums (4'9"; 1.45m) , Asami - lead vocals (4'10"; 1.47m), Midori - guitar (4'11"; 1.5m), Miyako - guitar/piano (5'2"; 1.58m), Miho - bass (5'1"; 1.55m).
White dresses make them more visible on the stage of a large hall during concerts.
- Ladies want to remain feminine even though they play heavy metal. White dresses emphasize femininity.
LOVEBITES (January 1, 2024):
“2023 was the ‘Year of Resurrection’ for LOVEBITES, and we will follow it with our first World Tour. The title of the Tour is ‘THE THIN LINE BETWEEN LOVE AND HATE’, which has the same meaning as the Japanese proverb ‘Ai to nikushimi wa kami hitoe’. We understand that in the world of heavy metal, where most bands consist of men dressed in black, LOVEBITES, an all-female band dressed in white, is even more of an outlier in the scene, and that some people may not respect us. That is why we want those who have shunned us in the past to see us on stage and enjoy our performance during this World Tour. The proverb from which the tour title is taken from originally meant that love can easily turn to hate, but we purposefully took this as a paradox and selected it for the title."
Great write up. I didn't know about the Japanese proverb for using it for their tour name. I thought they borrowed it from the Iron Maiden song.
@@metalmark1214 Thank you. I tried to talk a little about what I learned. About that side of LOVEBITES, which is, as it were, in the shadow of their music.
The more I learn about LOVEBITES, the more I am amazed at how the ladies and team thought through everything when they created the band. I'm amazed at the deep meaning the ladies and team put into what they do, from the music to the band's development strategy and plans for the future. LOVEBITES + their management = great team.
The Dark Haired, Long Dress Guitarist (Miyako) began Classical Piano at age 3 and still practices daily (The Grand Piano in background is not for show). Classical Musicians are taught to look as if whatever they are playing is easy, so a lot of the time that is the stage presence Miyako adopts (there are a few live songs where you do see her break the stoic expression).
can't wait for their USA tour in September
oh don´t worry there is still plenty of levels to come with this band
Mighty Lovebites did it beautifully. Remember this, they have no bad songs or playing. You can choose any song video or audio or live from YT. Thanks bro 👍
This band checks ALL the boxes. You want more? They have a lot more!
Just go watch it all. You are late to the party. You have a lot of catching-up to do. 😉
Thank you for your reaction to LOVEBITES.😃
Very nice analysis and impression.👍👍👍
❤LOVEBITES❤ has about 60 songs.🎁💝
Thank you for your continued support of LOVEBITES.🙏
They perform songs from their music videos and albums that many viewers think would be impossible to recreate live.
Some songs are performed live in upgraded versions from the album versions.
I think they are breaking down and evolving many of the stereotypes surrounding heavy metal (female band performance ability, metal classification, quality of live performance, costumes, etc.).
P.S.
There was also a live performance of "Shadowmaker."
Next LOVEBITES song: “Break the Wall” Live! 🎸🔥🤘🐺
"Break The Wall" LIVE 2020: ua-cam.com/video/5Pc0XK0lNmU/v-deo.html
"Set the world on fire" or " swan song chopin intro " next
"Everybody raise your Horns "
I'm all good with "Prom dresses", but we live in the age of snowflakery, which makes me glad to be in the 4th Quarter of my personal game and not willing and obliged to follow every foolishness.
In regard to Miyako, classical pianists are very much into keeping their composure and restraint. Additionaly, she got a monster of an effect board lying in front of her, with a lot of pedals, she uses to control her effects, so she probably doesn't like to be too far away from it. I think, on her own YT-channel she presents it and shows how she built it.
A sucker for harmonized guitar solos you say... Oh you are going to love your LOVEBITES journey! 🎸🎸🤘 Try Set The World On Fire live, or anything they do really, you can't go wrong with these ladies.
Lovebites will Rock the music world 💪💪
That would definitely be an awesome prom!🤘🎸

Venue upgrade? I've been to the Echoplex (saw Nemophila there) and it's a relatively small venue. Wherever they were booked before must've been tiny.
@@killermonjeroI was at that NEMOPHILA show too. I agree, it’s a small “intimate” venue. But supposedly has a capacity of 780, compared to its sister club The Echo’s that has 350. Was cool to see NEMOPHILA up close onstage.
I’d rather like to see LOVEBITES play the 1100 capacity venue The Regent but I’ll still be at their LA show regardless.
@@killermonjero LOVEBITES comes to the US for the first time. Since the group is still little known in the US, it is natural that they start with small halls. The concert was moved from 'The Echo' (350 spectators) to the 'Echoplex' (780 spectators)
You really should react to their performance of (specifically) “Swan Song with Chopin Intro.” Miyako, the stoic one, shows off her musical genius on the piano as she blends one of the most difficult piano pieces ever composed into a speed metal fest for the ears. You won’t be disappointed.😊
Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/dcMVtrvpJpk/v-deo.html
This performance is why I claim that LOVEBITES is in the top 3 metal bands on earth, in terms of pure musicianship. There are only two other metal bands that I'm aware of that could play this song live (allowing for the second guitar to be recorded onto a track), and those two bands are Dream Theater and Symphony-X.
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

Virtually every first reaction to Lovebites, the comment is made about prom dresses or wedding dresses. I can only imagine it was a new fan that got bent out of shape over that. Anyone with half a brain in their head knows that is going to be the first reaction. They dress differently for a reason. Almost all metal musicians dress in black, they are doing it different. They are keeping their femininity while rocking at an epic level. They are not trying to be one of the boys. Band Maid is the same. Great costumes that are feminine.
It was about a dozen comments.
Set The World On Fire live 2021 is typically next. Big 4 level thrash metal. But u may want to see new bassist Fami. If so Hammer of Wrath or Judgement Day, both from 2023 Knocking at heaven's gate live show. 🤘
Wolfpack surrounding the camp.
I HIGHLY recommend live versions.
These ladies are epic live.
Break the Wall
Winds of Transylvania (VLADLOVE version first, then the live version to catch all the stuff you didn't realize you missed until you see them do it)
Raise Some Hell
Stand and Deliver (studio version first, then live)
Set the World on Fire
Hammer of Wrath
There is so much amazing stuff in their catalog and the live versions are studio perfect.
If you think THIS bass is great (and Miho is both a founding member as well as insanely talented)
check out Fami, the 'new' bassist in an old video from before joining the band. Look up Alien alien bass cover.
I have not found as amazing a metal band since discovering Metallica and Megadeth.
--signed,
Old AF metalhead guitarist from the 80's
😂
🤘😎🤘🎸
Miyako and Midori, are together M&M's. One is chocolate and the other contains peanuts. One is crunchy while the other is soooo smooth.
I just watched another reaction for "Spellbound" (great underrated song imho) and there one comment was :
"Five ladies.. dressing like a Greek Goddesses.. singing about great Greek Myth - Medusa" 😁🤘🏼
so yeah .. thats right. If you also not know who Medusa is .. try Wiki
Also, i don't think its a joke, the same like its never a joke when USAians the first time compare Floor Jansen with Amy Lee. Its just that you live on your island and have never cared about the world around you because you were brainwashed its the greates country of all and the rest is just communist or third world.
Great reaction. If we can overcome the language barrier, a new world of Japanese rock and metal will open up. That world is vast and deep.
Our rock never dies ever. forever! by BAND-MAID
Can we replace the "Prom dresses" stuff with "Greek Goddess" stuff? Makes much more sense for me! See also the 2023 KAHG stage (like Olympus) with columns and stairs. Well, Americans are obsessed with proms, but this is European style with Japanese melodies!
We’re not “obsessed” with proms. It’s just the closest visual we have.
@@teckreactions That was with a little smile, it's not that we've talked about guns or BBQ... I have quite fast the visuals of Olympus present, with Togas etc. And it's Greek Mythology, that they are our Metal Goddessess. Ask the Metal Hammer! LOL
@@teckreactions Granted, Midori has more of an Amazone!
Holy War to movie is to Lovebites like Stairway is to Zeppelin. Most casual Lovebites fans that don't know a lot of songs by them, this just immediately comes to mind for them. And like Stairway, it's a very good song. That being said, peeps who listen to a lot of Lovebites songs will tell you it's usually not their favorite song by them. It's an excellent introductory song for them to see what they do. But to me, just like with Stairway, I can think of maybe 5-10 songs I like better. But heres the thing, there are no bad Lovebites songs. Just songs you like better than other ones.
Bassist/Miho-san ・・founder and core of LOVEBITES. She already left the band 、but her spirit remains the band.
Drummer/Haruna-san・・ Her looks like the mascot、but her stamina is crazy. Her playing like this for the entire 2 hour show.
Black hair guitarist /Miyako-san・・She looks cool、but her heart is warm and kind.
She is group’s musical source.
Blonde hair guitarist/Midori-san・・She is "The professional crazy shredder and performer "
Beautiful vocalist/Asami-san・・She has great voice、but her strongest point is her beautiful heart and her positive power that drives the band.
There are still over 60 films left to be made, full live list until 2022 below: Heavy Metal Never Dies 2021 Playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLuV3rc8lTRfINwUQTcUbzpKQp9Q6lVVN1.html Awake Again 2020 Playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLuV3rc8lTRfLAFtKF9-tFKzW5A9H4KvFR.html Five Of A Kind 2020 Playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLuV3rc8lTRfIHP8lqv9M-JMGCHyR-zsp7.html Invitation To Theater 2019 Playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLuV3rc8lTRfJlDduSikoFZvMIIRkzDq8x.html Daughters Of The Dawn 2019 Playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLuV3rc8lTRfLhypVGuIC_YJSMg2JZZOcG.html Crusaders Standing At Wacken 2018 Playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLuV3rc8lTRfK7BvYDySMI4ZDQXU0c4Jau.html Battle In The East 2018 Playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLuV3rc8lTRfJzimMW5B51SmLaDEeODORT.html
As the group makes more money, their costumes become more luxurious.
Lovebites are the epitome of harmonized dual leads. Check out Signs of Deliverance, When Destinies Align, Set the World on Fire.

also with new bassist Fami
Oh man, Madori’s smile at 4:02 ❤❤❤❤ I always look for that smile in every live video they do!
My new favorite band! These ladies are a collective talent by 5xs over any band!!!
For your next reaction, I hope you do live versions of “MDO” “Scream For Me” “We the United” and “Set the World on Fire”Those live performances are pure 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥
❤️🐺🌎🤘🏼
Every performance by LOVEBITES, studio or live, is a tour de force. There is no bad song, no bad version of one and 54 more plus several live variants of them by which you can assess my judgment. Personally I think that there are two contenders for next song, both live. “A Frozen Serenade” from 2021 (note…farcical Covid restrictions in force) or “Swansong” from 2020 (specifically the version that includes the Chopin Revolutionary Etude prelude). The first explains vocalist Asami’s graceful arm movements in face melting songs (it isn’t one of them) and the second explains why stoic guitarist Miyako isn’t stoic….just very focused on the job in hand. Others will tell you that not only the Chopin Prelude but the “better mix” distinguishes this particular version. I respectfully disagree. Chopin? Yes, Mix? No… the most recent version is intentional and true to the wishes of the band and original studio version.
"A Frozen Serenade" LIVE 2021 [cc] lyrics: ua-cam.com/video/sEjN7dAh4ok/v-deo.html
"Swan Song" with Chopin LIVE 2020 [cc] lyrics: ua-cam.com/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/v-deo.html
or (thrash+) "Break The Wall" LIVE 2020: ua-cam.com/video/5Pc0XK0lNmU/v-deo.html
🐺 dreg👁
excellent reaction , Miyako the guitarist with black hair is also the main songwriter of the band are her about 50 % of the songs , she is a pianist who also plays fantastically also guitar (but also bass and drums and sings ) when she is on stage she looks very serious
but if you watch her on her youtube channel you will see that she is a lovely person , if you want to see her on the piano I recommend “swan song ”
ua-cam.com/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/v-deo.html
Yes! Miyako is a classically trained pianist (she started at age 3) and was on her way to become a professional classical pianist, but around 20 she picked up a guitar and has since become this unbelievable metal guitarist too. In earlier performances, she was more animated, but apparently, she & Midori (other guitarist) decided to develop different on-stage personas and she's much more comfortable with the stoic appearance. In her personal UA-cam sessions, she's really sweet and warm, with a lovely smile.
But if you want to see that white grand piano (that you can see on the side) in action, definitely check out the link referred to above. There are different versions of their Swan Song performance available, but the one above has the piano intro with Miyako playing a Chopin etude. Miyako also wrote the song that goes with it (and Asuna wrote the lyrics). It is a masterpiece!
Other songs that are not as power/heavy metal as the two you've done so far (they're still metal songs, just somewhat different), but are definitely also amazing are:
Frozen Serenade: ua-cam.com/video/Ae8pQVu-RN8/v-deo.html
Edge of the World: ua-cam.com/video/Zr99B4RvaMc/v-deo.html
(As a former member of a worship band, I think you'll really appreciate the words of "Edge of the World". While this is not a Christian band, they generally have very positive messages in all their songs.... a bit of a change from the common perception of metal music.)
@@mezacharia Excellent information, also Miyako is the biggest 'joker' of the group! (off stage, imo)
here is a higher quality upload of "A Frozen Serenade" LIVE 2021 [cc] lyrics: ua-cam.com/video/sEjN7dAh4ok/v-deo.html
the [cc] will auto-translate when you share it with those who do not read English.
@@dregeye haha.... I've heard that said about Miyako by others too!
Glad to see you've joined the J-Metal/Rock journey. Prepare for some amazing experiences. Next?? Try - *_Edge of the World_* . Why? - because it has a style that you won't expect. There are no limits on what these ladies can do musically . . *In Prom Dresses* LOL ua-cam.com/video/UZjxMjBop7w/v-deo.html 🐺🤘🏻🐺
she holds it twice as long at Ride for Vengeance 2021
Your next Lovebites reaction should for sure be Stand and Deliver, the music video because it's a lot of fun.
Stand & Deliver" MV 2023: ua-cam.com/video/4ImGA7cPyrs/v-deo.html
Check out this Live performance of their first song live since Miho the founder and bassist left with new Bassist Fami 2022-Present 1st time live Asami gets up and proclaims to everyone "We Are Back!!!" ua-cam.com/video/pHrWRT0Jeac/v-deo.html
She's got pipes......LOL. At 4' 10" she is a Napoleon stage general who belts out thunder over the insane talent behind her. They may be petite musicians but on stage these gown/heels metal goddesses go at one speed only ...epic awesomeness!!!! Live is the only way to truly experience these insanely talented musicians.
Great video, thanks, and it's good to see you finding your feet with Lovebites!! Miyako is a very concentrated, perfectionist of a performer but if you were to see any of the videos on her own channel you would see that she is actually very personable and funny! The contrast between her and Midori's styles is part of what makes them so great together....and if you like harmonized solos, you have definitely got the right band! For a ballad-gone-prog song try Edge Of The World, next, or for a more 'thrashy' sound try The Hammer Of Wrath from their Knockin' AT Heaven's Gate, DVD. Cheers for the journey!🤘
Welcome back to Lovebites and great reaction ! For something thrashier, check out "The Hammer of Wrath" LIVE : ua-cam.com/video/pHrWRT0Jeac/v-deo.html
If you're a sucker for harmonized guitar solos, then this is the band for you. For the next one, I suggest "Set the World on Fire (live)."
Awesome
Swan song with Chopin intro or Jugement day🇯🇵🤘
Sorry for this, but as a none USAian, I do need to ask, What the F%*K is a prom dress ?? I keep hearing the term thrown around on USA based channels, but I have no idea what it is. I'm assuming it is some kind of elaborate dress worn by women for some special purpose or occasion , but that is only a guess. I've always thought of the costumes worn by Lovebites on stage as being a 'Greek Goddess' inspired look, except for Midori who has a full on Amazon Warrior thing going. She looks as though she belongs on the set of Wonder Woman 😁
ball dress when students are finished schools in usa they have a ball
Thats where the in-girls go and dream to get fucked from the highschool football bully and then get married and live happy ever after. So not really very goddess like.
And yes, for me its greek goddess style, just watch them play "Speelbound" which is even about Medusa, so it all makes sense.
Btw.: nice to see somebody else meanwhile also uses USAians instead americans. It just makes more sense, i mean Mexicans are also americans, and can you believe good old Trump also means them with "america first" ? 😄
It is unbelievable how flawless and powerful these Metal Godesses perform live. Miyako, the dark haired stoic guitarist, is a great piano player, too. Watch this:
"Swan Song" with Chopin intro live from 2020 - ua-cam.com/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/v-deo.html
Most J Metal bands with 2 lead guitarist usually have the one Flashy player and the one serious player.
see Versailles - Masqurade
if u love the harmonizing guitar u should react to Set The World On Fire
Next Break the wall. Live Zep Diver city 2020.
You're a sucker for harmonized guitar solo's? They you just found your happy place! 🤣😊🤘🤘 Miyako and Midori (short gold dress) do that often, and to this level. I'm not offended by prom dresses, but I like 'heavy metal princesses' more. 😁
"Holy War" is more on their power metal side, song #2 at this 2020 show, and was my intro to the band. Song #1 ,"Thunder Vengeance" is a thrash leaning song.
And if you want to meet the new bassist , Fami (co founder Miho is seen here on bass), then check out "Judgement Day" from the Knockin At Heaven's Gate 2023 concerts.
Great reaction as always. I would go to The Hammer of Wrath live at Knockin at Heaven's Gate. It features their new bassist Fami and was her first performance with the band and her first performance in front of a large audience. She was primarily a YT player found by the band out of thousands of auditions. You can see the joy on her face in all the videos from this show, but this song was the opener for the evening.

Next Lovebites? Hard to pick. "Set the World on Fire" if you want your face napalmed. "Swan Song" WITH the Chopin intro if you want a genius melding of classical and metal. "Edge of the World" if you want a prog masterpiece. "Frozen Serenade" live if you want to die of sheer beauty. Take your pick. there are 60 others to choose from, literally nothing that is just "good".
Sweet
Perfect assessment: PROM METAL!!! Excellent. That's totally what it is.
I don't think they got offended because you said they looked like they were dressed up to go to prom. I think it is because you put "Is this Prom Metal?" in giant letters on the thumbnail or in the title of your video. I was not one of those offended, but it would be my guess that that's why some were.
Eh. Then they didn’t watch the video.

@@teckreactions Swan Song. Definitely use the link above. The newest release does not have the Chopin intro.
@@ChristopherEvans-650 THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!! definitely want the one with Chopin Intro
WOLFPACK FOREVER,LOVEBITES RULE!🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Nice reaction bro. Tnx. I totally agree with @jc8453, Great suggestions. But please if you react to "Swan song", use link what he provided, others have less quality audio or intro is missing, don't look in their official channel. Rock on 🤘
Really digging your reactions! If you want something more thrashy then check out Set the World on Fire! The live version has some awesome stage production 🤘😊🤘
That was awesome. Love the ending and the bass licks! Thanks Matt!
Also, you need to check out the new falling in reverse song.....but you probably already knew that.
Definitely! I'm going to record that tomorrow.
I would recommend the masterpieces "Edge of the World" and "A Frozen Serenade". Absolutely Stunning. 🐺🐺
彼女たちがヨーロッパに上陸するまであと１週間🔥会場に行く皆さん首を振る準備はいいですか⁉️🤘🐺🤘
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘❤❤❤❤❤❤
thanks for coming right back to Lovebites. Japanese metal is on an incredible roll, especially the women, who are kicking ass on an epic scale. Another great band you should check out is Bridear. Founded in 2011, they were in the second wave of all-female heavy-metal bands. They have the classic twin-lead attack and technical rhythm section. Their tiny bassist even growls at key moments.
They’re scheduled to release their new album “Born Again” on June 28, and it’s a banger. They have gone through some changes but have always kept their hard, heavy, technical sound. They just posted a video single from the album: “Still Burning” ua-cam.com/video/v7UOTBAtJh0/v-deo.html
In case you are into classical piano, Chopin introduction and outro by Miyako in 'Swansong', and she plays it masterfully and as cool as a cucumber just like the guitar. At least I can trust that you know how to pronounce 'Chopin', not like some other reactors 'chopping', which tends to curl my toenails.
💯👍👍👍
"What was the first TECKreacts video you saw?"
Answer "LOVEBITES" is missing! Obligatory question though.
I need to add new artists into the Discord. Thanks!
@@teckreactions I don't know, if it worked, but I'm in now! There was a conflict between the question and the introduction (Discord bug?), I could choose LOVEBITES from the box, but couldn't commit. Now I'm in.
If you appreciate a classical pianist check out Miyako ( the "stoic" lead, main song composer, wife & mother) in this song link....Swan Song (with Chopin intro):

Thanks for another great video 👍✌ 🇨🇱 ❤🇨🇦

miho!miho!miho!
For thrash one my sucession is break the wall. But edge of the world epic
Stopping during guitar solo's is strickly forbidden!
Oh well.
🤘🤘🤘🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🔥🔥🔥
Hey Wolfpack, which concert was it that Miyako was playing 5(?) months pregnant?
"Heavy Metal Never Dies", Tokyo City Hall, March 26th, 2021. Examples: "Set The World On Fire", "A Frozen Serenade".
@@rainerzufall42 Thank you very much.
😁🍻
🤘😎🤘
@@randomchord Pregnant Miyako played at all concerts of the 'Ride For Vengeance Tour 2021' (March - April 2021). On 'Heavy Metal Never Dies' this is not so noticeable: the darkness on the stage, the guitar in front masks the pregnancy. People who don't know about her pregnancy may not notice.
But if you watch the video on Miyako’s channel ( 'Let me introduce the brand new MYK Studio', April 3, 2021), her pregnancy is noticeable. Moment on video - Miyako gets up from her chair (01:40), goes to the wall to take the guitar hanging on it. The video was filmed in Miyako's home studio. She talks about her guitars.
On April 2, 2021 there was a LOVEBITES concert in Osaka. The video was posted on YT on April 3, 2021, the day after the concert in Osaka.
@@GrayFox14 Thank you very much for responding.
I watched a video and in the comments someone mentioned that Miyako was pregnant and, sure enough, I went back and you could notice, but only if you were looking for it.
Legend says the child came out of the womb head banging and playing air guitar. 😉😂😁🍻
🤘😎🤘
@@randomchord 👏👏👏😂 Cnild Miyako can now tell everyone that when he was 4-5 months old, he participated in four metal concerts! Moreover, he did not participate as a spectator (in the hall). At all concerts the child performed 🎸🎹🎤as part of a metal band (⚡On stage! 💥)🤘🤗
what about those that made fun of your joke ]:P with a bit of truth added? like Greek Goddess dresses obviously they are Japanese but those dresses with the gold strike me as more olmpus gods and godesses so maybe the gods came back as Female Japanese Metalists ]:)
🤘🐺🐺🤘
99.9 % got the joke i'm sure. i would estimate that about 90 % of reactors say that exact same thing about their look. others say that they have the look of greek goddesses with the white and gold. goddesses for certain ! best band on earth imo - they just ooze talent , class and beauty. 'signs of deliverance' , ' a frozen serenade' and 'set the world on fire' are but 3 of their finest live performances. after that every other song they have ! here is the link for set the world on fire. if you thought 'holy war' had a great solo section this one will bludgeon you to a bloody pulp : ua-cam.com/video/99zsH6iG_6c/v-deo.html
🤟🏻🔥🔥🐺🔥🔥🤘🏻
Miyako🤍🤍
The two guitar players have deliberately contrasting stage personas. Miyako is very much the traditional Japanese woman: black hair, modestly dressed, stoic demeanor. Midori is Gyaru, which is pretty much the opposite of that (and I'd argue it's a particularly Japanese form of punk). I wouldn't say it's the reverse of their off-stage personalities, but Midori's social media presence is generally a bit more serious, with a lot of focus on her other passion, competitive bodybuilding, while Miyako is a bit more relaxed and friendly, generally about going out to various places, or geeking out about gear in her home studio.
Looks like you finally figured out that Japanese Women Bands create lots of views for you. Nothing wrong what-so-ever with Miyako's stage presence. She is about 3 and a half months pregnant here so to expect her to be prancing around is just.... nitpicking.
How was I supposed to know she was pregnant? I simply made an observation. Not nitpicking anything.
LMFAO someone actually got offended? sorry you didn't understand a play on a joke if thats the case I recall making a statement on them being more like greek dresses but I was in no way offended I lean right not left ]:P ..............j/k ]:P
Greetings from Scotland, great reaction to these metal Princesses, I have a ticket to see them in London, England on July 1st, you have a new subscriber. You should also log into Finland which is known arguably as the metal capital of the World., you could do a lot worse than try Wintersun of whom 2 of their members are presently with Nightwish (Kai Hahto who is a phenomenal drummer & Jukka Koskinen who replaced Marko on bass) this is not ordinary metal believe me and with your knowledge of metal music you will fully appreciate just how good this band are🤘 > Wintersun - Time (TIME I Live Rehearsals At Sonic Pump Studios) REMASTER > link if it helps ua-cam.com/video/4UMwLxFNKS0/v-deo.html
Just so you know, the "people" who were offended at the term "Prom Metal" were ALL ONE GUY. He is a well known anti-fan who gets his jollies by invading reactor channels to troll. Being mentioned by you in this video has probably got him so excited he needed to change his underpants. He's been banned by at least 30 other reactor channels that I know of.
It was at least a dozen comments.
@@teckreactions The "many faces" troll, about whom @1970Phoenix wrote, has many accounts. About 20 accounts. These are only those accounts that became known to fans (including other bands) in 2023 and 2024.
He often writes comments from several accounts at the same time. In the comments, a troll can start “dialogues” or disputes between his own accounts. To draw more attention to what he wrote. It is quite possible that these were his comments. Or some of the comments were his (from different accounts).
Often the troll comes to write comments under reactions to other Japanese bands. He writes something disrespectful on behalf of LOVEBITES fans. In order to provoke conflicts between the fans of these bands and fans of LOVEBITES.
@@GrayFox14 That sounds like a sad life.
@@teckreactions I agree with you. I communicated with this troll (via correspondence). I wanted to know why he does this.I politely tried to explain to him that this shouldn’t be done. But it's no use. The troll is obsessed with "stalking" LOVEBITES and band members. He wrote a lot of outright insults against them, lied a lot. He also often insulted those Reactors who spoke well of LOVEBITES. A lot of Reactors blocked him on their channels. But the troll regularly creates new accounts. Lately the troll has changed his tactics a bit. He began to insult people openly less often. He writes comments under the guise of “criticism,” but the meaning remains approximately the same. I wrote this to you in detail so that you know that there is such a troll. And he can come to your channel.
Fans of LOVEBITES may also have criticisms of the Reactor. Different people often have different opinions.🤗 But, as a rule, this happens correctly, without insults, etc. I wish you good luck to your channel.
like bass breakdowns do Aldious - In this world live - ua-cam.com/video/3zuIbjOD4RM/v-deo.html
Move on to different bands if you can't show respect to lovebites and the Wolfpack. Looks like you are trying to beore respectful and that is cool. Btw, just joking, haha. I wouldn't challenge fans to move on. The Jband fans usually like and support all bands just like the bands are very supportive of other bands. If you really dislike Babymetal and are not diplomatic about it all of the Jband fans will unsub. To not like a band is absolutely only fair and truthful, but being gentle about not liking a band is what makes the greats great.
Yep
Yeah of course, Midori can't really play, so she moves around the stage so no one notices.
She looks pretty talented to me.
In regards to your prom metal comment - you also titled the video - "Can we call this prom metal?" Which is the first thing anyone sees when searching for the video on your channel. If the comment was just buried in the video, it wouldn't have received so much attention. But putting it front and center is probably what upset the fanbase. I personally don't get upset by something which was clearly said in a non-serious, just for fun way. Others took it differently.
It’s because the LOVEBITES fanbase is the worst of any of the Japanese bands. I love the band, but I’ve never seen a fanbase complain and gripe as much as this one does.
@@PaleHorseShabuShabu Lovebites fanbase worst of any Japanese bands ? I absolutely disagree but you are entitled to your opinion.
@@TaxidermyofMetal-ul8ex That's fine. To clarify, I'm only speaking about the fanbase on UA-cam.
@@PaleHorseShabuShabu OK, and I still disagree with you
@@TaxidermyofMetal-ul8ex He enjoys interacting with "the worst fan base of any Japanese band." ))
Great reaction! If you want to go to the next level with Lovebites then react to Swan Song, in this song they blend classic and metal seamlessly, Beware that you react to Swan Song WITH Chopin Intro in the title. This one includes fantastic piano playing on the white grand piano that you saw in this clip. The stoic dark haired guitarist Miyako who makes it look so effortless on guitar is a concert level pianist, she learn to play the piano from the age of 3 but later she decided she wanted to go into metal music. Nowadays she does recitals too with metal songs in a classic piano style. Here's the link for Swan Song with captions too; ua-cam.com/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/v-deo.html
Lovebite is the guitars of Skynyrd and Priest combines dueling guitars and twin leads
3:25 this tapping part all 3 guitarists do it all 3 times at the same time. The video, however, just spotlights one member each time.
