The Best Heavy Metal Band in the World is LOVEBITES... The Best Hard Rock Band in the World is BAND-MAID... The Best Rock Metal&Cover Band in the World is NEMOPHILA....
The best metal band I have heard in 43 years. There is hope that young people will once again take the time to learn how to play their instruments properly. The torch has been passed on to Lovebites. UP THE IRONS 🤘🤘🤘
I disagree. They are not ONE of the best duelling guitarists in the world today. They are the best in the world today and on par with the best ever! 🤘🎸🎤🥁🎹🐺
Welcome to the Wolfpack ! Haruna the drummer is an absolute machine. Midori (stage right) melt your face solos. Miyako (stage left) composes a lot of the music and is also a ridiculous pianist (see Swan Song w/ Chopin intro). Miho (bass, now replaced by Fami) unstoppable rhythm seciton. Asami, vocalist has an R&B background, and yes, is singing in English (admittedly her Japanese accent does make it a bit difficult to understand at times). Also, silly fun fact, but none of them top 5'2" tall (I think).
@yann messager-bourget Asami is 4'10" and Midori 4'11" they look much taller than Haruna but remember : Haruna is the only who doesn't use heels on stage
"Dude, they're good." 🤣 Their the best F metal band today and their guitar duo are off the talent chart. Keep watching and you'll see. The combined talent in this one band is insane. Asami's clean vocals and belts are the best in the genre; you won't get any harsh vocals, in case you're looking for them. And as someone commented, they are tiny in stature yet GIANTS in ability and sound they bring. They play like this 2hrs straight, Haruna (drums) is a beast at 4' 9", think about that for a second, 4' 9"! Miyako (dark-haired guitarist) nearly 5mos pregnant in this show. And they do it all - power, thrash, prog, and ballads. Again, the talent is ridiculous and wait till you see Miyako on the piano...a F virtuoso. Great reaction. 🤘
I wonder how many other people see the thumbnail or the band's photo and dismiss them without ever hearing a single note? It happens far too often IMO. This band is phenomenal and deserves so much more attention than they are getting.
yes they sing everything in English except the 1st version of Bravehearted on their 1st EP entitled Lovebites that version is in Japanese it was written by drummer Haruna but on their 1st full album The awakening from the Abyss they had converted Bravehearted to English.
LOVEBITES - Set The World On Fire lyrics: The blue moon colors the blaze Stabbing myself with the thunder The predetermined imitation An emotionless and a fearless smile Flowing blood and crimson blade Devastated resolution Heat haze is waving far away Who’s going to be sacrificed？ ON FIRE Just like a falling flower ON FIRE Until this body rots away Burning down to the Gates of Hell Distorted madness is sneering Incompetent, cowardly fools A pitiful and painful punishment It’s you who will be sacrificed ON FIRE Dressed in an armor of steel ON FIRE If I’m burned again and again I’ll rise up from the Gates of Hell SOLO: midori / miyako / both The blue moon colors blaze Stabbing myself with the thunder The predetermined imitation An emotionless and fearless smile SOLO: miyako Flowing blood and crimson blade Devastated resolution Heat haze is waving far away Who’s going to be sacrificed？ ON FIRE Just like a falling flower ON FIRE Until this body rots away Burning down to the Gates of Hell ----- lyrics: asami music: miyako arrangement: LOVEBITES [miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami] album: Electric Pentagram 01/29/2020
LOVEBITES has received an offer directly from Herman Lee to perform in 11 UK cities on the DRAGONFORCE UK Tour 2019! 2018 Winner of "Best New Band" at the Golden Gods Awards, an awards ceremony of the world's largest music magazine, Metal Hammer. From Japan 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Great reaction, best band on the planet IMO. 50+ yrs of listenting to metal and they have surpassed everyone (even older Metallica). Elite musicianship across the board. You guys have an enjoyable ride coming as you venture deeper into their music.
Best thing to happen to Metal in decades. Petite women who wear their femininity proudly and in gowns and high heels destroy you LIVE. Here in a COVID venue ( 50% capacity, social distancing and no yelling or singing just clapping allowed) they still brought the house down for 2 hours. The dark hair guitarist, Miyako/Dean was 3/4 months pregnant here and still went full tilt for the 2 hour set. Pick anything from these ladies LIVE and you will never be disappointed. The vocalist sings in English albeit with a Japanese accent, not bad for a ballet dancer from a R&B/Jazz/Soul background, who never sang Metal till she joined the band which was created in 2016 by Miho/bassist. Welcome to the Wolfpack (fan base).
Congratulations, you just found the best new metal band to come along in decades- not just the best female metal band! 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 on December 22. Their new album, “Judgement Day”, was released two months later. 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 went on hiatus while they searched for a new bassist, and during that time, two of them had babies, even as the band were writing and rehearsing their new album. They recently announced the 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: Also from their 2021 concert DVD “Heavy Metal Never Dies”: “Don’t Bite the Dust” ua-cam.com/video/oHnKGEj1CMc/v-deo.html; "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; And their most reacted-to video, “Holy War”: ua-cam.com/video/bgAxpEpEcno/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) 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. Finally, the audio tracks of some of the new album are up on youtube, and worth checking out. The band clearly came out swinging and wanted to make a statement. Every song on the album is a showcase of their incredible talent and songwriting capabilities. “Stand and Deliver” is a thrasher with a fun video of them in the studio. “Soldier Stands Solitarily”, the final song on the album, is being touted by some as the best thing they’ve done so far-I encourage you to see and decide for yourself! 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!
Yes they sing in English. You just saw one of the best metal bands in the world. Good pick up on the gear they use. Lovebites here are Asami - vocals, Miho - bass, Midori - lead guitar (blonde), Miyako - lead guitar (dark hair), Haruna - percussion Other songs to check out - Break The Wall - Live at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020, Shadowmaker (Live in Tokyo 2021), Holy War 2021 LIVE in Tokyo with lyrics Soldier Stands Solitarily (English translation of the board), Judgement Day [MUSIC VIDEO], Stand And Deliver (Shoot 'em Down) [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]
A French metal mag interviewed Asami (singer) about the dresses. She said, "We're girls, we don't want to dress like boys. Also the white makes it easier to see us on stage because we are all small." And the ARE small. Asami and Haruna 9Drums) are both 4'9". Midori (blond guitarist) and Miho (bass, no longer with the band) are both 4' 10". Miyako (other guitarist and main song writer) is 5' 2" as is their new bassist Fami. Yes, they sing in English. Check out their sing, Break The Wall. They sound like Slayer in that one.
Best metal band in the world! Welcome to the Wolfpack! I have never in my life seen a more talented band. They're my absolute favorite. They cover a range of metal, too. 60 or so songs of absolute heaven. They don't have a bad song. As good as they are in studio and in their MVs, they are better live. I don't even know what to recommend, because it is all good. You could choose anything and hit on a winner, but they do have a couple that I'd call masterpieces for sure. I will suggest a few, but you'll find a bunch in the comments too. Probably all different recommendations, only because it is all awesome. I subscribed, because finding new Lovebites reactions from musicians? It doesn't get much better than that! Break the Wall, live from 2020: ua-cam.com/video/5Pc0XK0lNmU/v-deo.html Thunder Vengeance, show opener from 2020: ua-cam.com/video/yWE7PqCpGi4/v-deo.html Awakening - Hammer of Wrath, encore opener from 2020: ua-cam.com/video/otJZPUCwyOM/v-deo.html Swan Song (with the Chopin intro) (masterpiece): ua-cam.com/video/dcMVtrvpJpk/v-deo.html Empty Daydream, from 2019 (more like an 80s rock song ): ua-cam.com/video/BkPxcnsRjlk/v-deo.html Edge of the World (masterpiece): ua-cam.com/video/Zr99B4RvaMc/v-deo.html Stand and Deliver (MV from the new album): ua-cam.com/video/4ImGA7cPyrs/v-deo.html See? I couldn't even stop myself at 3 recommendations. It literally goes on and on lol.
Yes they sing in English. They are my favorite band and favorite guitar players. Have everyone of their CDs. Every song is good. And I've been listening to hard rock and heavy metal since the late 60s. These girls are the real deal
Welcome to the realm of the wolfpack ! These ladies play a seamless blend of speed-power/thrash/prog/neoclassical metal/power ballads. You've only just touched the tip of the iceberg. Enjoy your Lovebites journey !
Thanks for the warning. I duplicate my answer to you (dated February 10, 2024) under this comment. Troll 'ingop...' appeared under one of my 2 comments of that reaction (song 'Holy War', January 9) where you warned me. Therefore, my answer to you may be blocked there. Most likely, your answers (like mine) are blocked due to complaints organized by the troll from his numerous fake accounts. I assume that he has 16 (this is the minimum number) fake accounts. These are only those fake accounts from which he wrote to me. Due to troll complaints, many comments are also blocked that contain information about LOVE BITES that is useful for Reactors. Over the past 2 weeks, approximately 50% of my comments have been blocked. The troll has already begun to sow discord. Real fans have become suspicious of the new LOVE BITES fans. Especially those who have recently registered their account. I know several such cases. The troll is also trying to give new fans a bad impression of the Wolf Pack. Pushing new fans away from the LOVE BITES fandom. There are cases when comments from new fans are also blocked. Especially if they start communicating with a troll. He provokes new fans (pretending to be a member of the Wolf Pack), and then organizes complaints against them.
Very good and professional reaction video. Congratulations : LOVEBITES, you started right away with the best Japanese women heavy metal band. I saw on your channel that you haven't explored Japan musically yet. Then get ready for something, because in Japan now live both the rock & heavy metal god. The daughters of the dawn are letting it rip in Japan : LOVEBITES, Nemophila, Band Maid, Aldious, Gacharic Spin, Mary's Blood, Fate Gear, Bridear, Mardelas. And younger bands are on their heels to share the glory in the future : Asterism, Hanabie, ArkRoyal, Hades, Little Lilith, guys there is something for you to do ... Lovebites has been around since 2016, and the women became more famous worldwide after performing at several major festivals, mainly in Europe, starting in 2018. 2018 - Wacken - Open Air in Germany 2018 - Bloodstock Open Air in England 2019 - Graspop Metal Meeting Festival in Belgium 2019 - Download Festival in Spain In 2020, their career was abruptly interrupted by Corona. But they masterfully overcame the crisis, got married and had babies. In 2021 the founder Miho left the band for personal reasons and it went into a hiatus which lasted until the end of 2022. In the fall of 2022 they found a young fantastic bass player and in 2023 they released a new LP. The new LP reached the 5th place in the Japanese charts. Japan is the 2nd largest music market in the world and it is very rare that in these times a rock band comes so far forward. I've been a big LOVEbites fan for 3 years and fans never get enough of it so : S u g g e s t i o n s for next reaction V i d e o 's: (Copy the following sentence lines and enter them into the UA-cam search bar, you will find the videos) 🤘🤘 New Songs from the new LOVEBITES - LP Judgement Day : LOVEBITES music video - Judgement Day 2022 LOVEBITES music video - Stand and Deliver 2023 🤘🤘 Songs ALL LIVE !!!

Quote: "What a solo dude!". You will see quickly that all their solos will be "What a solo dude!" going forward. Best dual guitarists I have ever heard. They have brought back my love for metal/thrash.
At this moment, they are the best metal band in this century in terms of catchy melody, clever song structure, each member’s super skill and the stage presence with individual personality. Thank you for your great and sincere comments!!
It's English, but the accent is there and can be hard for us westerners to understand sometimes. They are Lovebites and they play heavy metal and I couldn't love it more!🤘🏻
Thanks a lot for nice reaction video and congratulation on finding one of the most talented metal band on earth. If you dive into them more deeply, next I recommend you "Judgement day"(MV), "Holy War"(Live), "Shadowmaker(Live), "Rising" (LIVE), Break the Wall "(Live), "When Destinies Align"(MV), #Winds of Transylvania"(MV)....so many songs I like to recommend you 'cause they have only master pieces.
Gratulation to find this band, the best in Rock World. They don´t play Trash/Heavy Metal Hard Rock .... They include all genres in one song and they´re incredible good, in what they´re doing. It´s not a good girl band, it´s a great Heavy Metal band with all genres. Listen to songs like Frozen Serenade, Swan Song, Judgement Day, Soldier stand solitarily. It does´nt matter, which song ..... they are great
You have now stumbled in to the next generations best metal band there is. NO knock off copie. But a true original with clear inspiration from the 80's and 90's best metal bands. Seasoned with Bach and Chopain influences. Go ahead and choose any song/video from them. Live, Studio or Video doesn't matter. They just don't miss.
So many more great performances to react to in your future guys. They will become an addiction you won't want to kick. Like so many of us. Their live performances are always outstanding.
Best metal band I've ever heard since I first heard Zeppelin in 1971. Not just best female band or best Japanese band, best metal band ever to my ears. And I've heard a lot of metal in 50+ years.
try Hammer of Wrath and Holy War M.D.O hard grinding songs and then Swan Song to showcase the piano skills of Miyako it is a never ending ass kicking rabbit hole with these musicians all songs are in English you get used to her singing which is top notch as well
😁Japan is where its at Boys. Look East not West for the BEST Rock/Metal Music. (Loads of all female Japanese Rock/Metal bands, all virtuoso Musicians. BAND-MAID being my favorite Prog Hard Rock one, Lovebites my favourite Metal 😍
Dudes!! Have you been Sleeping on Japanese Metal?? Oh boy....!!!! It's one of the Hottest International Rock and Metal Scenes On The Planet Right Now!!! The Wolfpack Awaits You!!
As you've seen, LOVEBITES is one of the great bands in the prodigious rock and metal scene of Japan. They mainly do traditional forms of metal - thrash and power especially - but have a handful of ballads and metal songs that border on hard rock. There are a few outlier songs, but for the most part their songs follow traditional song structures; their songs are just performed at a high level.
I am always on the look out for first time reactions to LOVEBITES. I so love the look of surprise and the OMGs and wows. Back for more LOVEBITES. You've plenty more wows to come. 😃😃🤘
They decided to wear white as they all petite ladies. White reflects light making them standout on the normally dark metal stage. Midori, ponytail, began guitar lessons when she was 20 yo, Miyako, black hair, starting piano at 3 yo, and picking up the guitar at 18 yo to play metal music. Miyako is self taught!! Yes Asami is singing in English, but with a Japanese accent! Asami is the primary lyricist, so she singing her own words. There are 200+ Rock/Metal bands in Japan with about half all female. You got some catching up to do.
Thanks for the reaction. If you continue your journey with the World of LOVEBITES, you will have many more surprises to come. LOVEBITES is the best thing to come out of metal (band, music, concept) in the last 20 years. And this is not the nonsense of some crazy fan 🤗how I can look from the outside. This is a reality confirmed by numerous facts (reviews in international music media, the opinion of authoritative music critics, Awards, etc., etc.)
Yes, english . Asami has sung in English since day one. Miho the founding bass player in this video has moved on . But they found a prodigy. Who fits right in . Check the new record .
Thanks for the great reaction video! I love seeing how people are surprised, excited, and fascinated when they see Lovebites for the first time. I'm not a hardcore metalhead. I love rock in general. I'm not attracted to black leather and studs, long hair and beards, angry faces. The music of Lovebites is definitely Heavy Metal, but their looks and lyrics are far from the stereotypes. That's one of the reasons why I love this band. Every song of Lovebites is sure to blow you away.I look forward to the next reaction to Lovebites.

Japanese female musician is on another level. For many years since 90s no female metal band can produced great metal music like this. Sometime I forget they're actually all female band.

They're definitely one of my favorite metal bands. I love the contrast of such fast, heavy music being played by disney princesses. When Destinies Align is another favorite song of theirs I love.
Hello, great reaction, but you ain´t seen nothing yet! Yes, they can shred your face, your ass or whatever off, but if you dive deeper in in their discography, you ´ll find ballads to make you cry and classical infuences of Copin, Rachmaninow, Dvorak and many many more. 🤘🐺🤘
You leave Lars alone. LOL. You know the drummer is about 4'9" yes, they are singing in English. It's just her accent is tough to understand. Their last album that came out a few months ago, I heard she worked on that and she is easier to understand on it. Also, some other of the earlier stuff you can understand her better.
In case it hasn't been mentioned, LOVEBITES was awarded Metal Hammer's "Best New Band" Golden Gods of Heavy Metal trophy (no "female" qualifier, among ALL new Metal Bands worldwide) in 2018 just prior to their performances at Wacken Open Air & Bloodstock Open Air festivals. At Bloodstock, they were chosen from all bands in attendance to fill the main-stage spot left open by Suicidal Tendencies due to late plane arrival. This 'last minute' opportunity unfortunately resulted in less than ideal 'FOH & monitor-mix' & camera work, but their performance is excellent. An example of how they perform under 'worst conditions'. 🐺
Thank you for reacting to LOVEBITES. LOVEBITES has about 60 songs. Please keep up the good work LOVEBITES. LOVEBITES was formed in 2016 by Miho(Ba) and Haruna(Dr), members of the band "DESTROSE", which went on hiatus in 2015. The girls made their major label debut in 2017 (March 24) with "THE LOVEBITES EP". On 18 June 2018, LOVEBITES won 'BEST NEW BAND' at the Metal Hummer Golden Gods 2018 awards organised by the British metal magazine METAL HUMMER. On 4 August, LOVEBITES performed on the W.E.T stage at WACKEN OPEN AIR 2018, one of the world's largest annual metal festivals in Germany, with the 10,000 capacity venue almost full. "Bloodstack open air 2018(Aug. 10)" also participated. On August 20,2018, LOVEBITES announced that it has partnered with X-ray Touring, one of the largest players in the UK booking agent industry. LOVEBITES toured the Netherlands, Germany, France and UK from November 13-21, 2018. Asami (Vo) of LOVEBITES appeared as a guest on stage at Halestorm "Download Japan 2019(March 21)", singing alongside "Lzzy" Hale on Halestorm's 'Love Bites', which gave the band their name. I participated in "dowload Festival 2019(June 15)". And Asami of LOVEBITES appeared as a guest on stage at Halestorm Download Festival UK 2019, singing alongside "Lzzy" Hale on Halestorm's "Love Bites" again after Japan. LOVEBITES join DragonForce on UK tour 2019(Nov. 2-14). On 2 December 2019, LOVEBITES was the support act for the Tokyo leg of Halestorm's Japan tour. P.S. To be continued, fill in next time.

Welcome to the Wolfpack! (the name for the Lovebites fans :D) - Glad to see you fully enjoying the best metal band on the planet. It's great to see more people discovering our ladies! I encourage you to check out some of their live performances too - in my decades of metal fandom, I've never heard cleaner sound out of a band live. Also, they while they usually wear the white gowns that are their usual "Battle Uniforms", one of their newest songs "Stand and Deliver" is one of the few MVs they have done in casual clothes. Some data on the band: The lead singer (Asami) is the group goofball, and is known as "The One and Only Voice" - and metal is a new genre for her vocally. She does a lot of writing, also. Haruna is the drummer - called "The Little Engine" - because she just crushes the drum parts and rhythm section on every song, and she is completely indefatiguable! Miyako is our right side guitarist who also does all the background synth and piano work. In addition, she also writes and does everything with that calm, cool professionalism. :) She is called "The Golden Touch" for a reason - everything she touches turns gold. Midori is the blonde guitarist with the amazing hair on the left side, and she is "The Crazy Shredder" - because, well, it is what it says. She's insanely good and aggressive shredder. She also performs in bodybuilding competitions. :) On bass you have Miho - one of the founders of the band (she formed the band with Haruna) - a really good bassist who stepped down from her role just a couple years ago - if you check out their latest album, you will meet their current bass player, the amazingly talented Fami - who doesn't have a nickname yet - but she really has injected even more energy and passion into the group. Fun fact: Fami is the tallest member of the band, at 5'2" tall. :) Recommended further listening: Music Videos: Stand and Deliver (Shoot 'em Down) - more thrash. Judgement Day Nameless Warrior Live Videos: Swan Song (with Chopin Intro) - shows a lot of range - including classical influences, which includes Miyako on piano. Spellbound - for that 80's euro-metal vibe. We the United - for just a great all around show-ender.
No bad song in their arsenal of songs. This concert had COVID restriction on the crowd, but I think the band's stage performance was better than 2020. The 2020 Concert. Five of a Kind, the crowd was into it so the whole vibe was great. The new album, Judgement Day, with the new Bassist is even better in my opinion. There is a song for everyone on that album. Can't wait for you to do more reaction to discover their above the world talent.
LOVEBITES are one of the most musically talented metal bands on the planet. In fact, the only metal band I'm aware of that is on par with them musically is Dream Theater.
Nice reaction guys.. Welcome to the world of Japanese female Rock and Metal.. Lovebites Nemophila Aldious Hagane Trident Gacharic spin Band maid.. You have alot to see, Enjoy the ride.. Best wishes from France
LB is, in my humble opinion, the gold standard of metal music today. As you heard, their talent is off the charts insane. As you dive deeper into their music, you will find there are many levels to their sound. You will hear styles from heavy to power to thrash metal and everything in between. I've been a fan for about 3 years now and I cannot get enough of them.
Holy cow.....Haruna it's a crazy drum machine with incredible skills to know how to keep and change the ritm but still alltime driving has metronome. Mihaco and Midory and Miho are incredible almost not natural humain been guitars and bass players..Asami voice was just AMAZING and incredible voice she his from another world. To good. They are musically all gifted and blessed from the Heay metal gods . Nice reaction from you.
Welcome to the world of wolves :) I am giving you a link to the largest private database of Lovebites songs - use it as much as you want :) If you are looking for songs with a piano, I recommend Swan Song with Chopin intro, Today is the day, Edge of the world, Empty day dream . ua-cam.com/video/6cQDnkAlFjI/v-deo.html , ua-cam.com/video/6cQDnkAlFjI/v-deo.html , ua-cam.com/video/TrJ08TqaT_M/v-deo.html , ua-cam.com/video/TrJ08TqaT_M/v-deo.html , ua-cam.com/video/UrciE_EHIMg/v-deo.html , ua-cam.com/video/SxWTCJBGgmo/v-deo.html , ua-cam.com/video/tuE9TeTIXnY/v-deo.html , ua-cam.com/video/pbdtXzKbQo0/v-deo.html
Haruna's drumming philosophy as stated by her; is to be extremely efficient and produce the least amount of effort. This allows her to get through entire sets. She says she losses herself into a mindless effort this allows her to produce incredible effort.

"They almost sound like Metallica with a good drummer" had me dying of laughter! LMAO
Haruna is considered one of the best drummers world wide. She's super technical
The most talented band on earth! They have over 60 songs to prove it. They own the entire spectrum of metal..
The Best Heavy Metal Band in the World is LOVEBITES...
The Best Hard Rock Band in the World is BAND-MAID...
The Best Rock Metal&Cover Band in the World is NEMOPHILA....
Agreed!!
The best metal band I have heard in 43 years. There is hope that young people will once again take the time to learn how to play their instruments properly. The torch has been passed on to Lovebites. UP THE IRONS 🤘🤘🤘
So true. . .
Sounds like Metallica with a good drummer, hell yeaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
That was too funny! 😆
Midori and Miyako are one of the best guitar duo’s in Metal music today! 🎸🔥🤘
Hell yes they are indeed.🤘
I agree
I agree
I disagree. They are not ONE of the best duelling guitarists in the world today. They are the best in the world today and on par with the best ever! 🤘🎸🎤🥁🎹🐺
It's English - all of it, 100%. EVERY song Lovebites sings they do in English. She just has a Japanese accent.
Welcome to the Wolfpack ! Haruna the drummer is an absolute machine. Midori (stage right) melt your face solos. Miyako (stage left) composes a lot of the music and is also a ridiculous pianist (see Swan Song w/ Chopin intro). Miho (bass, now replaced by Fami) unstoppable rhythm seciton. Asami, vocalist has an R&B background, and yes, is singing in English (admittedly her Japanese accent does make it a bit difficult to understand at times). Also, silly fun fact, but none of them top 5'2" tall (I think).
@yann messager-bourget Asami is 4'10" and Midori 4'11" they look much taller than Haruna but remember : Haruna is the only who doesn't use heels on stage
That solo is one the best i heard....awesome......i hear the band for the first time....and i love it
"Dude, they're good." 🤣 Their the best F metal band today and their guitar duo are off the talent chart. Keep watching and you'll see. The combined talent in this one band is insane. Asami's clean vocals and belts are the best in the genre; you won't get any harsh vocals, in case you're looking for them. And as someone commented, they are tiny in stature yet GIANTS in ability and sound they bring. They play like this 2hrs straight, Haruna (drums) is a beast at 4' 9", think about that for a second, 4' 9"! Miyako (dark-haired guitarist) nearly 5mos pregnant in this show. And they do it all - power, thrash, prog, and ballads. Again, the talent is ridiculous and wait till you see Miyako on the piano...a F virtuoso. Great reaction. 🤘
I wonder how many other people see the thumbnail or the band's photo and dismiss them without ever hearing a single note? It happens far too often IMO. This band is phenomenal and deserves so much more attention than they are getting.
I also think some people love this band because of the way they look. So I think it goes both ways.
I agree. But not because of their beautiful looks but their female badass nature. And guys....wake up!🤘🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🤘
Agreed. But I am nevertheless convinced that tales of their excellence spread by "word of mouth".
Metal head and Bass player since the 80s. Priest fan, etc. These ladies are my favorite band. Period!
Absolutely!.these gals Bring me back to the late 80s true Metal era!
These ladies are best what heavy metal can offering these days.
yes they sing everything in English except the 1st version of Bravehearted on their 1st EP entitled Lovebites that version is in Japanese it was written by drummer Haruna but on their 1st full album The awakening from the Abyss they had converted Bravehearted to English.
Best band on the planet.
LOVEBITES - Set The World On Fire lyrics:
The blue moon colors the blaze
Stabbing myself with the thunder
The predetermined imitation
An emotionless and a fearless smile
Flowing blood and crimson blade
Devastated resolution
Heat haze is waving far away
Who’s going to be sacrificed？
ON FIRE
Just like a falling flower
ON FIRE
Until this body rots away
Burning down to the Gates of Hell
Distorted madness is sneering
Incompetent, cowardly fools
A pitiful and painful punishment
It’s you who will be sacrificed
ON FIRE
Dressed in an armor of steel
ON FIRE
If I’m burned again and again
I’ll rise up from the Gates of Hell
SOLO: midori / miyako / both
The blue moon colors blaze
Stabbing myself with the thunder
The predetermined imitation
An emotionless and fearless smile
SOLO: miyako
Flowing blood and crimson blade
Devastated resolution
Heat haze is waving far away
Who’s going to be sacrificed？
ON FIRE
Just like a falling flower
ON FIRE
Until this body rots away
Burning down to the Gates of Hell

From Japan 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Great reaction, best band on the planet IMO. 50+ yrs of listenting to metal and they have surpassed everyone (even older Metallica). Elite musicianship across the board. You guys have an enjoyable ride coming as you venture deeper into their music.
Best thing to happen to Metal in decades. Petite women who wear their femininity proudly and in gowns and high heels destroy you LIVE. Here in a COVID venue ( 50% capacity, social distancing and no yelling or singing just clapping allowed) they still brought the house down for 2 hours. The dark hair guitarist, Miyako/Dean was 3/4 months pregnant here and still went full tilt for the 2 hour set. Pick anything from these ladies LIVE and you will never be disappointed. The vocalist sings in English albeit with a Japanese accent, not bad for a ballet dancer from a R&B/Jazz/Soul background, who never sang Metal till she joined the band which was created in 2016 by Miho/bassist. Welcome to the Wolfpack (fan base).
Congratulations, you just found the best new metal band to come along in decades- not just the best female metal band!
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 on December 22. Their new album, “Judgement Day”, was released two months later. 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 went on hiatus while they searched for a new bassist, and during that time, two of them had babies, even as the band were writing and rehearsing their new album. They recently announced the 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:
Also from their 2021 concert DVD “Heavy Metal Never Dies”: “Don’t Bite the Dust” ua-cam.com/video/oHnKGEj1CMc/v-deo.html;
"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;
And their most reacted-to video, “Holy War”: ua-cam.com/video/bgAxpEpEcno/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)
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.
Finally, the audio tracks of some of the new album are up on youtube, and worth checking out. The band clearly came out swinging and wanted to make a statement. Every song on the album is a showcase of their incredible talent and songwriting capabilities. “Stand and Deliver” is a thrasher with a fun video of them in the studio. “Soldier Stands Solitarily”, the final song on the album, is being touted by some as the best thing they’ve done so far-I encourage you to see and decide for yourself!
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!
Yes. 👍👍👍👍
Always like to read and respect your opinion of this band, its the only Japanese band that really impresses me.
Yes they sing in English. You just saw one of the best metal bands in the world. Good pick up on the gear they use.
Lovebites here are Asami - vocals, Miho - bass, Midori - lead guitar (blonde), Miyako - lead guitar (dark hair), Haruna - percussion
Other songs to check out - Break The Wall - Live at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020, Shadowmaker (Live in Tokyo 2021), Holy War 2021 LIVE in Tokyo with lyrics
Soldier Stands Solitarily (English translation of the board), Judgement Day [MUSIC VIDEO], Stand And Deliver (Shoot 'em Down) [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]
A French metal mag interviewed Asami (singer) about the dresses. She said, "We're girls, we don't want to dress like boys. Also the white makes it easier to see us on stage because we are all small." And the ARE small. Asami and Haruna 9Drums) are both 4'9". Midori (blond guitarist) and Miho (bass, no longer with the band) are both 4' 10". Miyako (other guitarist and main song writer) is 5' 2" as is their new bassist Fami.
Yes, they sing in English. Check out their sing, Break The Wall. They sound like Slayer in that one.
Best metal band in the world! Welcome to the Wolfpack! I have never in my life seen a more talented band. They're my absolute favorite. They cover a range of metal, too. 60 or so songs of absolute heaven. They don't have a bad song. As good as they are in studio and in their MVs, they are better live. I don't even know what to recommend, because it is all good. You could choose anything and hit on a winner, but they do have a couple that I'd call masterpieces for sure. I will suggest a few, but you'll find a bunch in the comments too. Probably all different recommendations, only because it is all awesome. I subscribed, because finding new Lovebites reactions from musicians? It doesn't get much better than that!

@@1970Phoenix I honestly can't argue that!
Yes they sing in English. They are my favorite band and favorite guitar players. Have everyone of their CDs. Every song is good. And I've been listening to hard rock and heavy metal since the late 60s. These girls are the real deal
Welcome to the realm of the wolfpack ! These ladies play a seamless blend of speed-power/thrash/prog/neoclassical metal/power ballads. You've only just touched the tip of the iceberg. Enjoy your Lovebites journey !
Thanks for the warning. I duplicate my answer to you (dated February 10, 2024) under this comment. Troll 'ingop...' appeared under one of my 2 comments of that reaction (song 'Holy War', January 9) where you warned me. Therefore, my answer to you may be blocked there.
Most likely, your answers (like mine) are blocked due to complaints organized by the troll from his numerous fake accounts. I assume that he has 16 (this is the minimum number) fake accounts. These are only those fake accounts from which he wrote to me. Due to troll complaints, many comments are also blocked that contain information about LOVE BITES that is useful for Reactors. Over the past 2 weeks, approximately 50% of my comments have been blocked.
The troll has already begun to sow discord. Real fans have become suspicious of the new LOVE BITES fans. Especially those who have recently registered their account. I know several such cases. The troll is also trying to give new fans a bad impression of the Wolf Pack. Pushing new fans away from the LOVE BITES fandom. There are cases when comments from new fans are also blocked. Especially if they start communicating with a troll. He provokes new fans (pretending to be a member of the Wolf Pack), and then organizes complaints against them.
welcome to the world of Lovebites the world of beautiful ballads, heavy, power, speed, thrash metal.
Very good and professional reaction video. Congratulations : LOVEBITES, you started right away with the best Japanese women heavy metal band. I saw on your channel that you haven't explored Japan musically yet. Then get ready for something, because in Japan now live both the rock & heavy metal god. The daughters of the dawn are letting it rip in Japan : LOVEBITES, Nemophila, Band Maid, Aldious, Gacharic Spin, Mary's Blood, Fate Gear, Bridear, Mardelas. And younger bands are on their heels to share the glory in the future : Asterism, Hanabie, ArkRoyal, Hades, Little Lilith, guys there is something for you to do ...
Lovebites has been around since 2016, and the women became more famous worldwide after performing at several major festivals, mainly in Europe, starting in 2018.
2018 - Wacken - Open Air in Germany
2018 - Bloodstock Open Air in England
2019 - Graspop Metal Meeting Festival in Belgium
2019 - Download Festival in Spain
In 2020, their career was abruptly interrupted by Corona. But they masterfully overcame the crisis, got married and had babies. In 2021 the founder Miho left the band for personal reasons and it went into a hiatus which lasted until the end of 2022. In the fall of 2022 they found a young fantastic bass player and in 2023 they released a new LP. The new LP reached the 5th place in the Japanese charts. Japan is the 2nd largest music market in the world and it is very rare that in these times a rock band comes so far forward.
I've been a big LOVEbites fan for 3 years and fans never get enough of it so : S u g g e s t i o n s for next reaction V i d e o 's:

SoloS.
Solo in Lovebites is ALWAYS a plural.
Love this band 🐺🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Talented beyond words
At this moment, they are the best metal band in this century in terms of catchy melody, clever song structure, each member’s super skill and the stage presence with individual personality. Thank you for your great and sincere comments!!
It's English, but the accent is there and can be hard for us westerners to understand sometimes. They are Lovebites and they play heavy metal and I couldn't love it more!🤘🏻
Thanks a lot for nice reaction video and congratulation on finding one of the most talented metal band on earth. If you dive into them more deeply, next I recommend you "Judgement day"(MV), "Holy War"(Live), "Shadowmaker(Live), "Rising" (LIVE), Break the Wall "(Live), "When Destinies Align"(MV), #Winds of Transylvania"(MV)....so many songs I like to recommend you 'cause they have only master pieces.
Gratulation to find this band, the best in Rock World. They don´t play Trash/Heavy Metal Hard Rock .... They include all genres in one song and they´re incredible good, in what they´re doing. It´s not a good girl band, it´s a great Heavy Metal band with all genres. Listen to songs like Frozen Serenade, Swan Song, Judgement Day, Soldier stand solitarily. It does´nt matter, which song ..... they are great
Welcome to lovebites, for me this ladys are so talented so good, LOVEBITES ROCK
Ah yes who knew that the current thrash metal championship belt belongs to Japan and the amazing women of Lovebites.
You have now stumbled in to the next generations best metal band there is.
NO knock off copie. But a true original with clear inspiration from the 80's and 90's best metal bands.
Seasoned with Bach and Chopain influences.
Go ahead and choose any song/video from them. Live, Studio or Video doesn't matter. They just don't miss.
So many more great performances to react to in your future guys. They will become an addiction you won't want to kick. Like so many of us.
Their live performances are always outstanding.
More lovebites please, whatever song
I will enjoy your reaction 🔥🔥
Best metal band I've ever heard since I first heard Zeppelin in 1971. Not just best female band or best Japanese band, best metal band ever to my ears. And I've heard a lot of metal in 50+ years.
Welcome to the Lovebites rabbit hole. You will not be disappointed.
try Hammer of Wrath and Holy War M.D.O hard grinding songs and then Swan Song to showcase the piano skills of Miyako it is a never ending ass kicking rabbit hole with these musicians all songs are in English you get used to her singing which is top notch as well
The guitar solo is like an instrumental in the middle of the song, just crazy 🤯
welcome to the wolfpack the best metal band in the world right now!!! enjoy the ride you will not be disappointed! THERE ARE NO BAD SONGS!!!!!!!
😁Japan is where its at Boys. Look East not West for the BEST Rock/Metal Music. (Loads of all female Japanese Rock/Metal bands, all virtuoso Musicians. BAND-MAID being my favorite Prog Hard Rock one, Lovebites my favourite Metal 😍
🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🇿🇦🐺🤘all I got to say - this is the best band ever !!
Lovebites is ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥Greetings from Argentina
Dudes!! Have you been Sleeping on Japanese Metal?? Oh boy....!!!!
It's one of the Hottest International Rock and Metal Scenes On The Planet Right Now!!!
The Wolfpack Awaits You!!
As you've seen, LOVEBITES is one of the great bands in the prodigious rock and metal scene of Japan. They mainly do traditional forms of metal - thrash and power especially - but have a handful of ballads and metal songs that border on hard rock. There are a few outlier songs, but for the most part their songs follow traditional song structures; their songs are just performed at a high level.
I am always on the look out for first time reactions to LOVEBITES. I so love the look of surprise and the OMGs and wows. Back for more LOVEBITES. You've plenty more wows to come. 😃😃🤘
Wolfpack is here for LOVEBITES! 🤘🏼🐺🤘🏼
They did all their song in english..
Thank you for the reaction, guys! 🔥
Super talented band ever
The Goddesses of Heavy Metal 🤘🏻🐺
on the same feel go and see "Break the wall" or "The hammer of wrath", another two great thrashy songs by them.
They decided to wear white as they all petite ladies. White reflects light making them standout on the normally dark metal stage. Midori, ponytail, began guitar lessons when she was 20 yo, Miyako, black hair, starting piano at 3 yo, and picking up the guitar at 18 yo to play metal music. Miyako is self taught!!
Yes Asami is singing in English, but with a Japanese accent! Asami is the primary lyricist, so she singing her own words.
There are 200+ Rock/Metal bands in Japan with about half all female. You got some catching up to do.
There are a lot of things we don't know yet. Japan Rocks. ✨🥰🤘
Thanks for the reaction. If you continue your journey with the World of LOVEBITES, you will have many more surprises to come. LOVEBITES is the best thing to come out of metal (band, music, concept) in the last 20 years. And this is not the nonsense of some crazy fan 🤗how I can look from the outside. This is a reality confirmed by numerous facts (reviews in international music media, the opinion of authoritative music critics, Awards, etc., etc.)
Yes, english .
Asami has sung in English since day one.
Miho the founding bass player in this video has moved on .
But they found a prodigy.
Who fits right in .
Check the new record .
Bloody Lovebites 🐺 I love'em
🤘🏽LOVEBITES RULES🤘🏽
see you too shadowmaker, when destiny alien, break the wall, nameless warrior and others. All in live.
Thanks for the great reaction video!
I love seeing how people are surprised, excited, and fascinated when they see Lovebites for the first time.
I'm not a hardcore metalhead. I love rock in general.
I'm not attracted to black leather and studs, long hair and beards, angry faces.
The music of Lovebites is definitely Heavy Metal, but their looks and lyrics are far from the stereotypes.
That's one of the reasons why I love this band.
Every song of Lovebites is sure to blow you away.I look forward to the next reaction to Lovebites.
Next song: *_Shadowmaker_* or *BREAK the WALL*

Stay safe. Stay Lovebites
Check out Thunder Vengeance, Break the Wall, and then maybe Frozen serenade.
Japanese female musician is on another level. For many years since 90s no female metal band can produced great metal music like this. Sometime I forget they're actually all female band.
Nemophila is another Jmetal band,
They are a bit more modern
Metal /.Nu metal

Guys, you ain't seen nothing yet 😎🤟
CANT WAIT FOR MORE LOVEBITES REACTION! I MUST SUBSCRIBE!!!
thanks!!!
All their songs are in English except for one song from their first album.
They're definitely one of my favorite metal bands. I love the contrast of such fast, heavy music being played by disney princesses. When Destinies Align is another favorite song of theirs I love.
Hello, great reaction, but you ain´t seen nothing yet! Yes, they can shred your face, your ass or whatever off, but if you dive deeper in in their discography, you ´ll find ballads to make you cry and classical infuences of Copin, Rachmaninow, Dvorak and many many more. 🤘🐺🤘
You leave Lars alone. LOL. You know the drummer is about 4'9" yes, they are singing in English. It's just her accent is tough to understand. Their last album that came out a few months ago, I heard she worked on that and she is easier to understand on it. Also, some other of the earlier stuff you can understand her better.
In case it hasn't been mentioned, LOVEBITES was awarded Metal Hammer's "Best New Band" Golden Gods of Heavy Metal trophy (no "female" qualifier, among ALL new Metal Bands worldwide) in 2018 just prior to their performances at Wacken Open Air & Bloodstock Open Air festivals.
At Bloodstock, they were chosen from all bands in attendance to fill the main-stage spot left open by Suicidal Tendencies due to late plane arrival. This 'last minute' opportunity unfortunately resulted in less than ideal 'FOH & monitor-mix' & camera work, but their performance is excellent. An example of how they perform under 'worst conditions'.
🐺
Welcome t the Wolfpack! Way to go. Be ready for a ride you have not experienced yet!
Thank you for reacting to LOVEBITES.
LOVEBITES has about 60 songs.
Please keep up the good work LOVEBITES.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Lovebites! 😊
Gotta love seeing people getting blown away by Lovebites for the first time 😁🤘
Las mujeres más rápidas del Metal....
😂😂😂❤❤❤
Claro
Welcome to the Wolfpack! (the name for the Lovebites fans :D) - Glad to see you fully enjoying the best metal band on the planet. It's great to see more people discovering our ladies! I encourage you to check out some of their live performances too - in my decades of metal fandom, I've never heard cleaner sound out of a band live. Also, they while they usually wear the white gowns that are their usual "Battle Uniforms", one of their newest songs "Stand and Deliver" is one of the few MVs they have done in casual clothes.
Some data on the band:
The lead singer (Asami) is the group goofball, and is known as "The One and Only Voice" - and metal is a new genre for her vocally. She does a lot of writing, also.
Haruna is the drummer - called "The Little Engine" - because she just crushes the drum parts and rhythm section on every song, and she is completely indefatiguable!
Miyako is our right side guitarist who also does all the background synth and piano work. In addition, she also writes and does everything with that calm, cool professionalism. :) She is called "The Golden Touch" for a reason - everything she touches turns gold.
Midori is the blonde guitarist with the amazing hair on the left side, and she is "The Crazy Shredder" - because, well, it is what it says. She's insanely good and aggressive shredder. She also performs in bodybuilding competitions. :)
On bass you have Miho - one of the founders of the band (she formed the band with Haruna) - a really good bassist who stepped down from her role just a couple years ago - if you check out their latest album, you will meet their current bass player, the amazingly talented Fami - who doesn't have a nickname yet - but she really has injected even more energy and passion into the group.
Fun fact: Fami is the tallest member of the band, at 5'2" tall. :)
Recommended further listening:
Music Videos:
Stand and Deliver (Shoot 'em Down) - more thrash.
Judgement Day
Nameless Warrior
Live Videos:
Swan Song (with Chopin Intro) - shows a lot of range - including classical influences, which includes Miyako on piano.
Spellbound - for that 80's euro-metal vibe.
We the United - for just a great all around show-ender.
No bad song in their arsenal of songs. This concert had COVID restriction on the crowd, but I think the band's stage performance was better than 2020. The 2020 Concert. Five of a Kind, the crowd was into it so the whole vibe was great. The new album, Judgement Day, with the new Bassist is even better in my opinion. There is a song for everyone on that album. Can't wait for you to do more reaction to discover their above the world talent.
All of there songs are sung in English
Do their music video Judgement Day next.
Yeah, these dudes will trip-out on that one. 😁
Awesome band..i love it
Excellent! More future Lovebites fans!
If you got bitten, welcome to the wolfpack.
Yees !! More Lovebites 🙏🙏🙏🙏
LOVEBITES are one of the most musically talented metal bands on the planet. In fact, the only metal band I'm aware of that is on par with them musically is Dream Theater.
Nice reaction guys.. Welcome to the world of Japanese female Rock and Metal.. Lovebites Nemophila Aldious Hagane Trident Gacharic spin Band maid.. You have alot to see, Enjoy the ride..
Best wishes from France
LB is, in my humble opinion, the gold standard of metal music today. As you heard, their talent is off the charts insane. As you dive deeper into their music, you will find there are many levels to their sound. You will hear styles from heavy to power to thrash metal and everything in between. I've been a fan for about 3 years now and I cannot get enough of them.
keep digging. It worth . Will be so many suprises
Holy cow.....Haruna it's a crazy drum machine with incredible skills to know how to keep and change the ritm but still alltime driving has metronome. Mihaco and Midory and Miho are incredible almost not natural humain been guitars and bass players..Asami voice was just AMAZING and incredible voice she his from another world. To good. They are musically all gifted and blessed from the Heay metal gods . Nice reaction from you.
they are amazing! Thank you for stopping by

They have the pick of destiny!!!!
Haruna's drumming philosophy as stated by her; is to be extremely efficient and produce the least amount of effort. This allows her to get through entire sets. She says she losses herself into a mindless effort this allows her to produce incredible effort.
やっと認知されてきたなw。
