    LOVEBITES are a great band. A friend of mine runs an alternative magazine here in the U.K. and interviewed them. When asked why they wear the white dresses they explained that it’s because they are small Japanese women and metal concerts tend to be quite dark affairs so they didn’t want to get lost in the background when they were performing. Definitely worth checking out more.

      There are pictures of Asami with Halestorm backstage, and they all towered over Asami who had on heels. Lzzy Hale was wearing platform boots but I think even without them she still would have been a lot taller.

    The vocalist is Asami, this is her 1st metal band, her background is Soul/R&B. The lyrics are all English except for a few songs on their 1st EP. They are not fluent English speakers and sometimes they are a little hard to understand. They only have toured Europe outside of Japan, no US yet. They played at the Wacken festival in Germany, the 1st Japanese band to be invited.They are big fans of British metal like Iron Maiden. Their name comes from the Halestorm song "Love Bites (So Do I)". Halestorm invited Asami to sing that song with them at the Download festivals in Japan and the UK. The drummer (Haruna) and bassist(Miho) were in another band Destrose which spawned other metal bands like Mary's Blood, Disqualia, and Fate Gear. They formed in 2016 and in three years they have released 2 EPs, 2 studio albums, and 1 live album. Someone once described their look as 'angry bridesmaids'. Great band!

      It is worth checking out Mary's Blood which was formed by Eye, the first lead singer of Destrose, and Mardelas which was formed by Marina Hebiishi, the second lead singer of Destrose. The new LOVEBITES album is being recorded right now for release early in 2020.

    The female Japanese bands started in the 80's with a band called Show-Ya, who did split up, but have now reformed reformed. The current wave of Japanese female band was started by Aldious in the early 2000's. Another band was a band called Destrose about 2006, but they went there own ways after a while, the bassest wanted to start an 80's homage band and was joined by the drummer and became Lovebites. There is also Fate Gear that is also from Destrose and also Mary's Blood, the guitarist from Mary's Blood (who could be the best female guitarist out there) is also the daughter of the guitarist from Show-Ya.

    The drummer and bassist were in another all female metal group called Destrose. That band disbanded and led to the creation of at least 4 other metal bands (Mardelas, Lovebites, Fate Gear, and Mary's Blood) all of which are amazing bands.

    LOVEBITES - Shadowmaker lyrics:
    Caught in the noise, my thoughts are destroyed
    Trapped in the silence, it's so hard to breathe
    But still I go on, my hunger is strong
    Hoping that someone will grab my hand
    Stranded by moonlight I realize the cold of this world
    Maybe it's too late?
    No one can save me
    From all of the darkness and solitude
    Cry, like shadows of the night
    I carry all the pain inside to justify why I'm alive
    Despite going through this hell
    Cause still my heart has hope
    No matter if I'm torn apart, I'll play my part
    Before I drown with secret thoughts of my heart
    Reckless and fast, how long will I last?
    Dancing like puppets, I'm empty inside
    Fighting the fear, and grieving the dear
    Hoping that someday I'll be repaid
    Only my echoing heartbeats can prove that I'm here
    Am I all alone?
    Even a faint light is too bright for me, I can't see a thing
    Hide, in shadows I reside
    I tremble like a heartless soul, no place to go
    In desolated land knowing no escape
    But still I wish to live
    Just waiting for a somebody to notice me
    Before I fall down to depths of the abyss
    Caught in the noise, my thoughts are destroyed
    Trapped in the silence, it's so hard to breathe
    But still I go on, my hunger is strong
    Hoping that someone will grab my hand
    Stranded by moonlight I realize the cold of this world
    Maybe it's too late?
    No one can save me from solitude
    Cry, like shadows of the night
    I tremble like a heartless soul, no place to go
    In desolated land knowing no escape
    But still I wish to live
    Just waiting for a somebody to notice me
    Before I fall down to depths of the abyss
    Like shadows of the night
    I carry all the pain inside to justify why I'm alive
    Despite going through this hell
    Cause still my heart has hope
    No matter if I'm torn apart, I'll play my part
    Before I drown with secret thoughts of my heart

The Band formed to do Power/Speed Metal in the vein of Iron Maiden and Helloween whom they admire greatly. It is all English as is ALL their songs. Live well try this one ua-cam.com/video/XzdzCt7VRmc/v-deo.html it is called The Crusade as is basically Aces High (iron Maiden) it is a fancam so not the greatest but you will get an idea

    OK, it’s been a year. No more Lovebites reactions. You are correct in wanting to look for a concert recording. They are really something to watch perform. It’s a shame that your first time was with one of those “Offical Videoes” that had a PLUG built into it. There’s a few- RIsing, and Don’t Bite the Dust- which have something interrupting the song. Don’t Bite the Dust video has glam photos of the band members- cheese city. I think these were done early on, and I hope not to see it again. Don’t Bite the Dust really makes me mad because it was a good “story” video IMO.
    That being said- check this out and you’ll get to see the opening songs of a Tokyo concert that is on DVD, but not available in the US> The Awakening/Hammer of Wrath ua-cam.com/video/kxuhKdw7BzM/v-deo.html
    < That should give you a better idea of how well Asami can sing. All their lyrics are in English. Their lyrics really take me back to old heavy metal of the late 70’s and 80’s. There is something about seeing Asami singing those words in her princess outfit, and Haruna beating the drums, Miho obliterating the bass, and Midori and Miyako shredding their guitars. I wish I could find more of their work with lyrics imbedded in the video- even though Asami does change a word here and there.

They even acknowledge their chemistry started to interfere with their live shows and eventual writing. So when I say ( sorry for not quoting myself but I simply got lazy and did not look it up ) what I did it did not mean to take anything away from them. It was a professional observation about the performance. It may not even be chemistry that influences what I am hearing. It may have more to do with the music they write. It may also have to do with, and I know I will get backlash for this but meh, one or more's musicianship live. If I wanted to tear it down and be critical I would have. However I want to watch their videos and enjoy the music for what it is and not get technical about it. I don't work with them or for them so in the end it's opinion and that's all it is.
      I have run sound for many bands, good and bad. I have been asked to help by providing feedback and ideas. So, unfortunately, I view all bands from that mentality. It's not meant to tell you that you should not like them. It's not meant to tell you they are not good. It's simply an observation from someone who likes them enough to care about how they could improve on what they have.

    "Their outfits don't really fit their sound." Go find some old ANGEL video.
