@@billyboyles 70 here. And what a ride this is! Some 4 years ago I thought I had pretty much heard it all in the field of Metal. And then these ladies breezed into my life, and I realized that I had been completely wrong. And how did that feel? Great!
also 66 and heard all the best of metal, till i heard lovebites, then i asked myself how did they get here. they are now considered the best heavy metal band around. will keep listening
You haven't seen anything yet...try (all live) "Break the Wall", "The Awakening/Hammer of Wrath", and for a special treat, "Swan Song" with the Chopin intro.
Buckle yer seatbelts, Lovebites are the real deal. Highly polished professional musicians. One of their guitarists, Miyako, composes much of their music and is also a world class concert pianist. It you want to see Miyako shred the piano and then jump onto the guitar, then check their performance of “Swan Song with Chopin Intro.” Led Zeppelin may have their Stairway to Heaven, but Lovebites have their Swan Song with Chopin Intro. Buckle up for this ride.😊❤😊
Well here you have just reacted twice (Holy war and Stand and deliver) to the best metal band in history with the best guitarist duo in history. I allow myself to say it because at my age I have seen and heard so much but never of this level. If you want to see Miyako (brunette) and Midori (blonde) play side by side watch "We the united", "Signs of deliverance" and if you want to see Miyako play guitar and keyboards AT THE SAME TIME watch "Burden of time"
They have a catalogue with 60 songs. I can suggest you, how the second song: Chopin etude+Swan song and third Break the wall. Thanks and good journey with Lovebites.
They actually consider Iron Maiden one of their main influences, along with Purple, Sabbath, Priest, Metallica, Helloween, Dragonforce, Polyphia, Gary Moore and more. They have absorbed all that, put it in a blender and made the best metal smoothie ever.
Glorious, aren't they. For some old school thrash done right, watch Break The Wall from this concert. The two contrasting guitar solos will blow your mind. You are in for so much enjoyment and amazement with this band.
Japanese women are making all the best Metal and Rock of the 21st century - Lovebites, Nemophila, Babymetal and THE best Rock band in the galaxy, Band-Maid, to name just a very few. My first Metal gig was Sabbath in 76 but I'd given up on the many genres by the time Slipknot came along in the late 90's. Then I discovered Japan and it's treasure chest of some of the best Metal acts ever - and certainly now. The level of musicianship is always supremely good. Dresses aren't so bad as I grew up on a guitarist dressed as a schoolboy and a band who wore animal face paint.
Welcome back. Thanks for responding to LOVEBITES. Please continue to support LOVEBITES. Miyako (G - Key and Piano Black hair) & Midori (G) are world-ranked duel soloists and the world's best guitarists with tight, synchronized playing. Haruna(Dr)'s tight playing and endurance is world ranked and phenomenal. It is my subjective opinion.
Welcome & thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 Lovebites is one of the best bands in our country, especially in performance. We say "Japan is the country obsessed by Rock Music". The history is very long and the obsession started in 1966 when Beatles visited Japan and held 5 concerts at Budokan. Speaking of hard rock / heavy metal music, a number of bands started to come to Japan since as early as 1970s : Led Zeppelin / Grand Funk Railroad (1971), Deep Purple (1972), Queen (1975), Kiss (1977), Cheap Trick / Van Halen / Scorpions (1978), Judas Priest (1978/79) and so on. Now, any type of rock can be enjoyed here, especially by many all-female or women-fronted bands. They are daughters of American / European rock, for sure. (Many are grand-daughters in terms of age.) Uh-oh, we also say "Japan is the country obsessed by Jazz". It had started earlier than rock 😄
Oh my .. i enjoyed your reaction so much... Please do more Lovebites! This Holy War song is spectacular... but wait until you hear Swan Song ua-cam.com/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/v-deo.html as there are some other surprises.
As an 80's metal head knowing Maiden, Priest, Anthrax, Metal Church, Testament, Exodus etc., I glad to see bands like this and Band-Maid continuing the metal that I Ioved from the 80's.
Yes, they are phenomenal. Best metal band and best duel shredder guitarist. There's former bassist (leader) that left the band for personal reason. Their live performance were epic everytime. 60 songs they produced. React more fo them live or mv.👍👍🤘🤘
This is probably the most popular song for reactors, which fits since it sort of captures the essential elements of the band. Thanks for doing a 2-fer!
I had to grin because I've experienced this reaction myself before. When Lovebites - as the first Asian band ever - performed at the open-air concert on the fields of Wacken (2018). Our concert experience could be described like this: great young women came onto the stage, a short greeting and from the first note - I think - no one closed their mouths in amazement. Where did these musicians come from? Japan? Or rather from a completely different planet? Especially the guitarist of the band I was with in Wacken hardly spoke a word after the group, seemed absent. I reveled in the praises of Haruna's drumming skills, tact and phenomenal timing, coupled with a stamina that you wouldn't have credited this little woman with (up to this point - hubris of a guy). Well, the M-Pack (Midori and Miyako) were the reason why it took the band a whopping 2 months before their guitarist used his guitar for the band again - for 3 weeks he seriously toyed with the idea of quitting guitar playing to sell his guitars. His only comment at the time was: "I have seen and heard goddesses play!" To this day I'm a bit surprised that Tobias, the bass player, took it so much more relaxed. He just said: "Miho probably started much earlier, practiced much more and sacrificed much more for playing her bass - she's just immeasurably better than me!" And this was it for him - and I agree with him! Well, Asami is beaming in her own way this evening at Wacken - simply brilliant! Unfortunately, Miho is no longer with Lovebites, but what I've seen and heard from Fami so far seems to me to be a 100% replacement with his own influences, positive influences, for the band ... and Miyako doesn't seem to be the physically biggest Lovebite anymore. Being a member - just an estimate, I don't know, but Fami seems to have outgrown their older band members! Well, the youth!
In Japan, especially in Tokyo, people rock hard. Many young Japanese also go to concerts. For fans of handmade music Tokyo is a paradise. Rock, hard rock, metal, jazz at the highest level. 🤘🤘
Japan is a true musical paradise for me, musical instruments are highly valued in the compositions of songs and the quality of Rock, Metal and Jazz coming from Japan is absolutely outstanding.
LOVEBITES - Holy War lyrics: Look at those black clouds, it’s going to rain blood People live in fear, covered in mud Singing oh Gloria to change the prophecy We are the metal warriors Fighting the darkness for sisters There is a thousand, a thousand of evils Hush, do not wake up Satan’s devils Singing Hallelujah to save our majesty We are the metal warriors Fighting the darkness for brothers Shining blade and burning heart Into the Gates of Hell we march Immortal soul, let there be light Into the Eye of Heaven Eagles at a holy war Fly higher than the sun We are one for all and all for one forevermore SOLO: midori Kingdom of Heaven, never shall we fall Reincarnation, wait for your call Singing oh, Gloria to change the prophecy We are the metal warriors Fighting the darkness for sisters Morning star and dying moon Into the Gates of Hell we march Mighty soul, let there be hope Into the Eye of Heaven Eagles at a holy war Fly higher than the sun Stand up in the name of the God of heavy metal What do we live for？What do we fight for, tonight？ But the world is beautiful, worth fighting for Only have one thing on our mind Facing the fate, holy war SOLO: miyako / midori / both Singing Hallelujah to save our majesty We are the metal warriors Fighting the darkness for brothers Shining blade and burning heart Into the Gates of Hell we march Immortal soul, let there be light Into the Eye of Heaven Eagles at a holy war Fly higher than the sun We are one for all and all for one forevermore What do we live for？What do we fight for, tonight？ But the world is beautiful, worth fighting for Only have one thing on our mind Facing the fate, holy war ----- lyrics: LOVEBITES music: Mao arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) album: Electric Pentagram 01/29/2020
Best metal band in the world! The talent on that stage is something to behold. It gets better too! Check out some more live performances. They're unbelievable.
Great reaction folks, this band has no peer and no bad song. These ladies are world class talents and they deserve worldwide recognition. So welcome you to the Lovebites' rabbit hole. There's no genre that they can't play. Please reacting more Lovebites.
Don't worry, they had 60 good songs to react, if you want to watch the black haired guitarist play piano, please react to Swan Song with Chopin intro, this one was the same live concert with Holy War. I'm waiting, because i'm ready to press the subs button 😂🤘
This whole concert is awesome from the Intro, Thunder Vengeance (which is the song that got me) all the way to the end. The new album Judgement Day is awesome from beginning to end. Please do more as I like your response to the best band going. I have not stopped listening to them since December 7th and I am still in awe over them. From this concert: Thunder Vengeance, Set The World On Fire, Swan Song, We The United, Raise Some Hell, Shadowmaker, Break The Wall, M.D.O., The Awakening with Hammer of Wrath, but any song from this concert will blow your mind. From the new album, every song is great, but for me Judgement Day, Wicked Witch, Stand and Deliver (which you have seen), My Orion, Dissonance, and Solder Stands Solidarity, but again there is no bad song on this album. This albums perfection reminds me of Def Leopards Hysteria where 10 of 12 songs went on the air and were good.
About wolves and white dresses. In Japan, wolves have been considered extinct animals for more than a hundred years. But there are rumors that not all died out, some still survived. Lovebites play endangered music and associate themselves with these surviving and rarely seen individuals. It's like they're talking heavy metal isn't dead, it's still alive. And he will never die. In addition, the white wolf in Japan is a mythical animal, deity that protects . The White Wolf is present in the Mononoke-hime epic anime written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki. In white outfits, Lovebites are white wolves who protect and preserve heavy metal.
Thanks for reacting to amazing Lovebites and spreading the word; they deserve more recognition. Even though this is your second reaction to Lovebites, first time reactors usually are left speechless, stunned and blown away. These women are extremely talented, skillful and versatile exceptional musicians. They really shine in their live performances. Their main influences are Iron Maiden, Metallica, Slayer, Helloween, Angra, Judas Priest, Dragonforce, and even Gary Moore, but they have been developing their unique style. Some people say that they’re redefining metal. Miyako is also a concert-level classical pianist. Asami used to sing R&B, soul and jazz before she joined Lovebites. Those twin lead guitar solos by Midori and Miyako are already legendary, in just six years. Some of their songs are uplifting, with a motivational message. Unfortunately Miho (bass) left the band in August, 2021, but a few months ago the band announced the new bass player, Fami; so now they’re ready to set the world on fire. In an interview, Miho (ex bassist) said that they wanted to play as heavy as men but keeping their femininity. My next suggestions are “Thunder vengeance”, “Break the wall”, “Set the world on fire”, “The awakening/Hammer of wrath”, “Above the Black Sea”, “Under the red sky”, “Scream for me”, “Shadowmaker”, “When destinies align”, “Raise some hell”, “Don’t bite the dust”, “Winds of Transylvania”; and for a different side of them: "Chopin Etude + Swan song”, “Empty daydream”, “Edge of the world”, “Epilogue”, “Glory to the world”, “Frozen serenade”, "Liar", "Spellbound". All live (please avoid Bloodstock because audio is not good, not their fault). BTW, their presentation at Wacken Open Air, Germany, 2018, was so successful. They toured Asia and Europe in 2018 and 2019. They toured the UK in 2019, supporting Dragonforce (they're good friends, by the way) Lineup: Haruna - Drums Miho - Ex Bass, backing vocals Fami - New bassist Midori - Lead & rhythm guitar, backing vocals Miyako - Lead & rhythm guitar, keyboards, classical piano, backing vocals Asami - Lead vocals, some piano
Midori/blond left college at 20 to learn guitarist at one of the best music academies in Japan and is an ESP designer and star. Miyako is a classical trained pianist since age 3, thinks she is good on guitar. Wait till she plays piano to be blow away. She picked up the guitar at 18 and self taught. She is a music genius and composes most of the bands works. Iron Maiden is one of many great bands these ladies took inspiration from but okay better than especially LIVE. 60+ songs and not one dud in the pack. Wait till M&M harmonize in perfect sync while tapping picking and running the fret it is a stunning display of perfection. Perfection is what defines this band. Asami the 4'10" singer is a R&B, Jazz and Soul singer who never sang Metal till she joined the band,not too bad for a backup singer!!!!
Lovebites is not Rock, it's Metal! Lovebites are the defenders of Heavy Metal 🤟 Midori and Miyako are one of the best guitar duo's in Metal music today.
The Lady's playing the guitar are known as " M & M, " Midori & Miyako, and they are my favorite guitar duo for obvious reasons ! ❤️🎙🎸🎹🥁😎🤘Try " A Frozen Serenade. "
Hi, sweet couple 🙂, nice reaction vídeo! Subscribed just in time to watch you starting a journey with this astonishing band. So many brilliant things are coming to your channel, believe me. These women are able to do ANYTHING they want to do. Enjoy the ride and best regards from Spain 🤘🏼
Enjoying the reactions and subbed. All female hard rock/heavy metal bands are quite a trend in Japan right now. The list of them is long. But many (myself included) consider the "holy trinity" of them to be Band Maid, Lovebites, and Nemophila. The ladies of Nemophila shred just as hard, but play 7-string guitars and 5-string bass. For the first Nemophila listen, I throw my vote in for their song "Adabana". You'll get many suggestions, but that one is my favorite of theirs.
Lovebites is a great band, and I hope you react to more of their songs. If you are looking for another great band to check out, I suggest the Finnish band Nightwish. They have so many amazing songs, but if you want to start, I suggest any of their songs from the Wacken 2013 concert. Songs like Romanticide, Storytime, Ghost Love Score, I wish I had an Angel, etc. honestly the entire concert is EPIC!
their live performances are second to none. never has a female band had this much talent and they make many male bands look like pretenders. just wait till you see the rest of what they offer.
Hi guys! I just came across your channel and subscribed to watch you discover the amazing music of this incredible band. I had the same expression on my face as you did when I first heard them and immediately fell in love! I don't have a lot of detailed information of most of the members but I do know a little about the beautiful brunette guitarist. My fav! Lol! Her name is Miyako. She is a classically trained pianist playing since the age of about 3. I could watch her play piano all day. 🥰She picked up the guitar at about 18 and obviously hasn't put it down. She writes a most of their music usually including classical influences. They have a few songs where she demonstrates her piano technical talent. Three songs that I can think of are Swan song, Epilogue, and Frozen Serenade. Asami, the main vocalist came from an R&B background and writes most of the lyrics to the compositions since she is the most experienced in English. The rest of the members are Midori, the other guitarist. She is one heck of a shredder! The founders of the band are the bassist Miho and the drummer Haruna. Miho is the bassist in this video but left the band sometime last year, I believe, and was replaced the the very young, 20year old Fami. She is the bassist in the first video you watched. I'm leaving out a lot of details but I'm certain the rest of the Wolfpack will chime in and give you more info and song suggestions. Cheers from Atlanta, GA.
Many have commented that Lovebites are pretty much setting the bar for bands, which is quite something for a band which many more people still haven't heard of. They're gaining a following but in this age it's still taking some time. Keep enjoying them peeps, and I'm sure we'll still be watching to support and enjoy your journey!!! *^^* (Don't sell your guitars.. I play too, but I've learned that to compare yourself to utter goddesses is to miss the joy in playing.. lol)
You aint see nothing yet. But its a good start hehe. Lovebites is THE REAL DEAL! Maybe see and react to some thrash madness that they can do, Set The World on Fire or Thunder Vengeance, live of course. Get on Lovebites train and enjoy the ride. It is ride of a lifetime for sure... Take care.
Thanks for your reaction, yeah it's Lovebites formed 2016 in Tokyo from ex Destrose band members Miho ( bas) and Haruna ( drummer) the band won Metal Hammer Golden Gods award for best new metal band in 2018. Very popular in Europe, the first female Japanese metal band who played in Wacken Germany (i see them live that time) next year 2019 they toured with Dragon force in the UK ( I've seen them again) they have 60+ songs till now and I can tell you right now none of them is bad. The best metal band these days in the world has come around in the decades. Midori and Miyako ( M&M) are the best guitar duos right now. Some reactor mentioned it seems to criminal those two guitarists to be in one band. Plus Asami the singer that is the formula for the best heavy metal period. My suggestion is to check the song Thunder vengeance from Zep Diversity Tokyo 2020. And another one Awakening/Hammer of wrath from the same show. Enjoy it. By the way I'm a new subscriber. Greetings from London.
Their live performances are always stella. They've not got out of 3rd gear yet in your first 2 reactions to this band. Did you notice the big white instrument on the right of the stage? Also one of them trained in ballet for about 15 years. 😊
You just dissed one of the finest bands to come out of the 80s! Lovebites influences come from the 80s British metal era ie IRON MAIDEN and Judas Priest. What you said was incomprehensible and unconscionable. I will say this Lovebites are heading that direction and have actually left Metallica in the shade. Just a titbit " number of the beast " album is 41 today 22 March 1982 . Different decades between the two, one should say if it was not for IRON MAIDEN, the Lovebites sound maybe different and such remarks made would not exist 😊😉. Glad you enjoyed Lovebites and what the future holds for metal!! 😎🤟
I was immersed in Led Zep, Sabbath, Thin Lizzy, Priest and many others. Lovebites is in my opinion, today, what is best at all levels in the world of heavy, power, trash, metal ... These 5 young women, that I discovered in 2018 in concert in Paris, are simply virtuosos in their respective art and for me there is among them a stratospheric genius: Myako (the brown guitarist) I do not say more you will discover why during your journey with Lovebites and especially on the track named "swan song". Asami - Singer a unique voice with a power like rarely heard in metal Haruna - Drums a phenomenon a concert is for her almost 2 hours of drum solo lol Midori - Guitarist (blond) what can I say, she's just amazing, a great talent Miyako - Guitarist and not only (brunette) she is not of this world it is certain... a genius as it is born 1 by century Miho - Bassist (co-founder of the group with Haruna) she left them in 2021 and was replaced very recently by Fami, another Japanese bassist, Absolutely extraordinary. You will realize that this guitar duo is absolutely gigantic in power, technique, writing and osmosis !!!!, they only lack the notoriety outside of Asia to become the best thing that history has created in the world of metal. We could make a list of different songs on which you should react but it's useless, the whole of their work is a masterpiece with in it some Masterpiece with a very big M. So whatever the song or songs you choose let yourself be carried and enjoy You should nevertheless have a look or an ear at two of their covers : Painkiller from Priest and Eagle fly free from Helloween. Welcome to the Lovebites den Have a good trip and have fun Wolfpack forever
You are on a 'Long & winding Road' now guys. So many great live clips for you to see. You will get my subscription when you react to 'Scream For Me'. Still my favorite. Fourteen guitar solos in the one song. Ten of them in Battle Mode. My top three contain 10 songs. Yes they are in white. They are known as the 'White Wolves'.
"We are Lovebites and we play heavy metal!" - Asami from Lovebites. All their songs are very different and all of them are perfect. All members are professionals. You have to watch them more. I suggest you the song "Set the world on fire" from their UA-cam channel. You will be impressed. Thank you for the reaction. More Lovebites on the channel.
The two guitarists, Miyako and Midori, are able to harmonize even when not facing each other because they use notations when composing the music. That way, they just need to memorize the notes they have to play at the proper time signature.
Lovebites and Nemophila are by far my favorite bands (for different reasons).. the musicianship is astronomical in both bands.. and both vocalists Asami and Mayu are very unique and amazing in their own right..(Asami has a theatrical delivery, (Nightwish,Bruce Dickinson) while Mayu is just Mayu..from a clean clear, to full on "banshee snarl" and back again, and everything in between. I'd comment further on the musicians of each band, but i'd have to text a chapter.. Thanks for the reaction..Youll not be sorry reacting to more Lovebites..(and ) Nemophila
The founding bassist Miho ( in this video ) is a spiritual child of Steve Harris . Who was all about all metal but had a spot for the Maiden . New bassist Fami ( Fah me) who you saw in the stand video is yet another magical prodigy . The only one who could fill and grow with the band in Miho's heels .
Thanks for the reaction. If you continue your journey into the World of LOVEBITES, many pleasant surprises will await you. LOVEBITES is the best thing that has appeared in the world of heavy music in the last 20 years. Believe me, this is not the opinion of some "crazy fan". This is reality. These smiling ladies in white dresses and high heels musically and technically absolutely dominate most "male" metal bands in black clothes with sullen faces. To date, LOVEBITES has about 60 great original songs and musical compositions + 3 covers of songs from other bands ( HALESTORM, HELLOWEEN, JUDAS PRIEST). I suggest you watch how the ladies open the concert: LOVEBITES - "Thunder Vengeance" ("Five of a Kind - Live in Tokyo 2020")
Great reaction. I suggest you to try their Swan Song with Chopin Revolutionary Etude ua-cam.com/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/v-deo.html. You'll be surprised by another talent of Lovebites. It is a jaw dropping phenomenal performance, I guarantee you. No other bands can do it.
i feel ya first time i heard them i wanted to sell my guitars too and i have played for almost 45 years instead they have inspired me to try new things on them i have listened to all of their songs studio and live they have no bad ones its amazing they are an incredible group
You’ll notice LOVEBITES have a strong and loyal following but be aware there are equally good all-female metal bands in Japan today. They are all derived from the success of Aldious - find some Aldious live to see where it all began. They are still around too, just taking their time finding a new vocalist. Megalomaniac or Yozakura live are good examples of them, possibly Dominator or Reincarnation live too - whatever you pick, make it live which is a rule of thumb for most of these bands as you can see.
If you like Uplifting, Fast Tempo Speed Power Metal then Lovebites is likely youre New Drug. Over 60 studio songs and 3 Live DVD's worth the watch. The Musicianship is Off the Hook. Also you gotta Love the Japanese Play on Contrast in Art. Girls dressed in Ball Gowns dishing out 170bpm Shred upon shred. Life is Great thanks in Part too Japan.
Hello from France:
Welcome to the Wolfpack !
I am a 67 year old who grew up with zeppelin deep purple sabbath floyd and can honestly say Lovebites are one of the best bands i have ever heard.
71 feel exactly the same as you
@@billyboyles 70 here. And what a ride this is! Some 4 years ago I thought I had pretty much heard it all in the field of Metal. And then these ladies breezed into my life, and I realized that I had been completely wrong. And how did that feel? Great!
I'm 70 an exroadie believe or not I wasn't in too metal till I heard Lovebites they are the bar.🙂🤘
66 here. I grew up with those too and I've been blown away by LOVEBITES.
63. They’re the best ever.
also 66 and heard all the best of metal, till i heard lovebites, then i asked myself how did they get here. they are now considered the best heavy metal band around. will keep listening
You haven't seen anything yet...try (all live) "Break the Wall", "The Awakening/Hammer of Wrath", and for a special treat, "Swan Song" with the Chopin intro.
Bloody Lovebites 🐺 I love'em. BLOODY LOVE'EM!
Buckle yer seatbelts, Lovebites are the real deal. Highly polished professional musicians. One of their guitarists, Miyako, composes much of their music and is also a world class concert pianist.

My Lovebites 🏴🐺🤘There Mine! All Mine!
They actually consider Iron Maiden one of their main influences, along with Purple, Sabbath, Priest, Metallica, Helloween, Dragonforce, Polyphia, Gary Moore and more. They have absorbed all that, put it in a blender and made the best metal smoothie ever.
Fantastic reaction thank you:) brilliant comments :)

LOVEBITES 🐺 INCREDIBLE
This is with their old bass player. Stand and Deliver is their latest video off their new album. They are old school heavy metal. 🙂
Great reaction from lovebites reaction mania
Welcome back.
Thanks for responding to LOVEBITES.
Please continue to support LOVEBITES.
Miyako (G - Key and Piano Black hair) & Midori (G) are world-ranked duel soloists and the world's best guitarists with tight, synchronized playing.
Haruna(Dr)'s tight playing and endurance is world ranked and phenomenal.
It is my subjective opinion.
Thanks for checking these metal goddesses out. Trust me. The best has yet to come 😉
Welcome to the Wolfpack!🐺🤘🏻
Welcome & thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 Lovebites is one of the best bands in our country, especially in performance. We say "Japan is the country obsessed by Rock Music". The history is very long and the obsession started in 1966 when Beatles visited Japan and held 5 concerts at Budokan. Speaking of hard rock / heavy metal music, a number of bands started to come to Japan since as early as 1970s : Led Zeppelin / Grand Funk Railroad (1971), Deep Purple (1972), Queen (1975), Kiss (1977), Cheap Trick / Van Halen / Scorpions (1978), Judas Priest (1978/79) and so on. Now, any type of rock can be enjoyed here, especially by many all-female or women-fronted bands. They are daughters of American / European rock, for sure. (Many are grand-daughters in terms of age.)
Uh-oh, we also say "Japan is the country obsessed by Jazz". It had started earlier than rock 😄
The quality of Rock, Metal and Jazz coming from Japan is absolutely outstanding.
Oh my .. i enjoyed your reaction so much... Please do more Lovebites!
This Holy War song is spectacular... but wait until you hear Swan Song ua-cam.com/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/v-deo.html as there are some other surprises.
great reaction , Lovebites other level of Musicians , my fav metal band . go for Judgment Day .
I'm from Japan, Thank you for your great reaction to my goddesses and I'm happy to know they've got two additional Wolfpack( Lovebites fan).
Next: "Set the World on Fire" live from Ride for vengeance tour 2021
It was Megadeth in 92...decades later Lovebites reignited my love for music. 💀🐺
As an 80's metal head knowing Maiden, Priest, Anthrax, Metal Church, Testament, Exodus etc., I glad to see bands like this and Band-Maid continuing the metal that I Ioved from the 80's.
Yes, they are phenomenal. Best metal band and best duel shredder guitarist. There's former bassist (leader) that left the band for personal reason. Their live performance were epic everytime. 60 songs they produced. React more fo them live or mv.👍👍🤘🤘
They are The Living Legends Of The Legends....
Hell yeahhhh...Heavy metal never die...
We all can Rest In Peace...🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
This is probably the most popular song for reactors, which fits since it sort of captures the essential elements of the band. Thanks for doing a 2-fer!
🔥LOVEBITES BEST FEMALE METAL BAND ON THE WORLD🔥 GREAT REACTION 🤘🏻🐺🤘🏻
I had to grin because I've experienced this reaction myself before. When Lovebites - as the first Asian band ever - performed at the open-air concert on the fields of Wacken (2018). Our concert experience could be described like this: great young women came onto the stage, a short greeting and from the first note - I think - no one closed their mouths in amazement. Where did these musicians come from? Japan? Or rather from a completely different planet? Especially the guitarist of the band I was with in Wacken hardly spoke a word after the group, seemed absent. I reveled in the praises of Haruna's drumming skills, tact and phenomenal timing, coupled with a stamina that you wouldn't have credited this little woman with (up to this point - hubris of a guy). Well, the M-Pack (Midori and Miyako) were the reason why it took the band a whopping 2 months before their guitarist used his guitar for the band again - for 3 weeks he seriously toyed with the idea of quitting guitar playing to sell his guitars. His only comment at the time was: "I have seen and heard goddesses play!" To this day I'm a bit surprised that Tobias, the bass player, took it so much more relaxed. He just said: "Miho probably started much earlier, practiced much more and sacrificed much more for playing her bass - she's just immeasurably better than me!" And this was it for him - and I agree with him! Well, Asami is beaming in her own way this evening at Wacken - simply brilliant!
Unfortunately, Miho is no longer with Lovebites, but what I've seen and heard from Fami so far seems to me to be a 100% replacement with his own influences, positive influences, for the band ... and Miyako doesn't seem to be the physically biggest Lovebite anymore. Being a member - just an estimate, I don't know, but Fami seems to have outgrown their older band members! Well, the youth!
THX for rection ! Amazing band ! Best metal nowadays! Listen and reacts more!
In Japan, especially in Tokyo, people rock hard. Many young Japanese also go to concerts. For fans of handmade music Tokyo is a paradise. Rock, hard rock, metal, jazz at the highest level. 🤘🤘
Japan is a true musical paradise for me, musical instruments are highly valued in the compositions of songs and the quality of Rock, Metal and Jazz coming from Japan is absolutely outstanding.
They’re amazing. My all time favorite metal band and I think Midori is my all time favorite guitarist of any style 🤘🏻
Lovebites and Epica are my all time favorite bands and Miyako is my all time favorite musician.
Midori 💕💕💕💕
Do not worry the speechlessness is a common and very natural reaction to lovebites. This will happen time and time again.
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

Best metal band in the world! The talent on that stage is something to behold. It gets better too! Check out some more live performances. They're unbelievable.
check out A Frozen Serenade and Swan Song with Chopin Intro to see Guitarist Miyako on Piano also.
Great reaction folks, this band has no peer and no bad song. These ladies are world class talents and they deserve worldwide recognition. So welcome you to the Lovebites' rabbit hole. There's no genre that they can't play. Please reacting more Lovebites.
Don't worry, they had 60 good songs to react, if you want to watch the black haired guitarist play piano, please react to Swan Song with Chopin intro, this one was the same live concert with Holy War.
I'm waiting, because i'm ready to press the subs button 😂🤘
🙏U 🤟🐺❣
This whole concert is awesome from the Intro, Thunder Vengeance (which is the song that got me) all the way to the end. The new album Judgement Day is awesome from beginning to end. Please do more as I like your response to the best band going. I have not stopped listening to them since December 7th and I am still in awe over them.
From this concert: Thunder Vengeance, Set The World On Fire, Swan Song, We The United, Raise Some Hell, Shadowmaker, Break The Wall, M.D.O., The Awakening with Hammer of Wrath, but any song from this concert will blow your mind.
From the new album, every song is great, but for me Judgement Day, Wicked Witch, Stand and Deliver (which you have seen), My Orion, Dissonance, and Solder Stands Solidarity, but again there is no bad song on this album. This albums perfection reminds me of Def Leopards Hysteria where 10 of 12 songs went on the air and were good.
Well, you got a taste of what they can do. Keep going.
Next, check out their new music video for the song "Judgement Day".
Here for my daily Lovebites fix 🐺
About wolves and white dresses. In Japan, wolves have been considered extinct animals for more than a hundred years. But there are rumors that not all died out, some still survived. Lovebites play endangered music and associate themselves with these surviving and rarely seen individuals. It's like they're talking heavy metal isn't dead, it's still alive. And he will never die.
In addition, the white wolf in Japan is a mythical animal, deity that protects . The White Wolf is present in the Mononoke-hime epic anime written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki. In white outfits, Lovebites are white wolves who protect and preserve heavy metal.
👏👍😊
Thanks for reacting to amazing Lovebites and spreading the word; they deserve more recognition. Even though this is your second reaction to Lovebites, first time reactors usually are left speechless, stunned and blown away. These women are extremely talented, skillful and versatile exceptional musicians. They really shine in their live performances. Their main influences are Iron Maiden, Metallica, Slayer, Helloween, Angra, Judas Priest, Dragonforce, and even Gary Moore, but they have been developing their unique style. Some people say that they’re redefining metal. Miyako is also a concert-level classical pianist. Asami used to sing R&B, soul and jazz before she joined Lovebites. Those twin lead guitar solos by Midori and Miyako are already legendary, in just six years. Some of their songs are uplifting, with a motivational message.
Unfortunately Miho (bass) left the band in August, 2021, but a few months ago the band announced the new bass player, Fami; so now they’re ready to set the world on fire. In an interview, Miho (ex bassist) said that they wanted to play as heavy as men but keeping their femininity. My next suggestions are “Thunder vengeance”, “Break the wall”, “Set the world on fire”, “The awakening/Hammer of wrath”, “Above the Black Sea”, “Under the red sky”, “Scream for me”, “Shadowmaker”, “When destinies align”, “Raise some hell”, “Don’t bite the dust”, “Winds of Transylvania”; and for a different side of them: "Chopin Etude + Swan song”, “Empty daydream”, “Edge of the world”, “Epilogue”, “Glory to the world”, “Frozen serenade”, "Liar", "Spellbound". All live (please avoid Bloodstock because audio is not good, not their fault). BTW, their presentation at Wacken Open Air, Germany, 2018, was so successful. They toured Asia and Europe in 2018 and 2019. They toured the UK in 2019, supporting Dragonforce (they're good friends, by the way)
Lineup:
Haruna - Drums
Miho - Ex Bass, backing vocals
Fami - New bassist
Midori - Lead & rhythm guitar, backing vocals
Miyako - Lead & rhythm guitar, keyboards, classical piano, backing vocals
Asami - Lead vocals, some piano
Enjoy your LOVEBITES journey....it's just beginning! These ladies are the real thing.....Thanks! 🤯🤘
Midori/blond left college at 20 to learn guitarist at one of the best music academies in Japan and is an ESP designer and star. Miyako is a classical trained pianist since age 3, thinks she is good on guitar. Wait till she plays piano to be blow away. She picked up the guitar at 18 and self taught. She is a music genius and composes most of the bands works. Iron Maiden is one of many great bands these ladies took inspiration from but okay better than especially LIVE. 60+ songs and not one dud in the pack. Wait till M&M harmonize in perfect sync while tapping picking and running the fret it is a stunning display of perfection. Perfection is what defines this band. Asami the 4'10" singer is a R&B, Jazz and Soul singer who never sang Metal till she joined the band,not too bad for a backup singer!!!!
Lovebites is not Rock, it's Metal! Lovebites are the defenders of Heavy Metal 🤟
Midori and Miyako are one of the best guitar duo's in Metal music today.
M&M (Midori and Miyako), best dual guitar on the planet.
The Lady's playing the guitar are known as " M & M, " Midori & Miyako, and they are my favorite guitar duo for obvious reasons ! ❤️🎙🎸🎹🥁😎🤘Try " A Frozen Serenade. "
I believe that Miyako started playing the guitar at age 18! Midori at 20! Now they’re two of the best guitarists in the world today.. 🎶
Most musically talented hard music band on the planet.
My #1 song is shadowmaker..you should watch it live from the same concert 2020,and you'll know why i like it..they are🔥🤘🐺
💘Miyako💘
They still had original founder and bassist Miho for this song the last song you did had Fami the new bassist.
I have a feeling that the Wolf Pack is coming. 🐺🐺🐺
Already there 🐺 Stand and deliver was 15 minutes before 😉
@@stand.and.deliver.5
I just checked and Wolfpack was already here. 🤘🐺🐺
Hi, sweet couple 🙂, nice reaction vídeo!
Subscribed just in time to watch you starting a journey with this astonishing band. So many brilliant things are coming to your channel, believe me. These women are able to do ANYTHING they want to do. Enjoy the ride and best regards from Spain 🤘🏼
Enjoying the reactions and subbed. All female hard rock/heavy metal bands are quite a trend in Japan right now. The list of them is long. But many (myself included) consider the "holy trinity" of them to be Band Maid, Lovebites, and Nemophila. The ladies of Nemophila shred just as hard, but play 7-string guitars and 5-string bass. For the first Nemophila listen, I throw my vote in for their song "Adabana". You'll get many suggestions, but that one is my favorite of theirs.
Lovebites is a great band, and I hope you react to more of their songs.
If you are looking for another great band to check out, I suggest the Finnish band Nightwish.
They have so many amazing songs, but if you want to start, I suggest any of their songs from the Wacken 2013 concert. Songs like Romanticide, Storytime, Ghost Love Score, I wish I had an Angel, etc. honestly the entire concert is EPIC!
their live performances are second to none. never has a female band had this much talent and they make many male bands look like pretenders. just wait till you see the rest of what they offer.
The Wolfpack (for your reactions of Lovebites) and Maidiacs (for your reactions of Band Maid) gives you the welcome to this world. Thanks!! 🤘🏻😎
🤘🐺🤘Miyako is a DEAN Guitars Artist🎸Midori is ESP Music Institute Osaka graduate🎸🔥
There is a nice picture of Miyako with her signature guitar on DEAN Website 🎸
Hi guys! I just came across your channel and subscribed to watch you discover the amazing music of this incredible band. I had the same expression on my face as you did when I first heard them and immediately fell in love!
I don't have a lot of detailed information of most of the members but I do know a little about the beautiful brunette guitarist. My fav! Lol! Her name is Miyako. She is a classically trained pianist playing since the age of about 3. I could watch her play piano all day. 🥰She picked up the guitar at about 18 and obviously hasn't put it down. She writes a most of their music usually including classical influences. They have a few songs where she demonstrates her piano technical talent. Three songs that I can think of are Swan song, Epilogue, and Frozen Serenade.
Asami, the main vocalist came from an R&B background and writes most of the lyrics to the compositions since she is the most experienced in English. The rest of the members are Midori, the other guitarist. She is one heck of a shredder! The founders of the band are the bassist Miho and the drummer Haruna. Miho is the bassist in this video but left the band sometime last year, I believe, and was replaced the the very young, 20year old Fami. She is the bassist in the first video you watched.
I'm leaving out a lot of details but I'm certain the rest of the Wolfpack will chime in and give you more info and song suggestions. Cheers from Atlanta, GA.
Many have commented that Lovebites are pretty much setting the bar for bands, which is quite something for a band which many more people still haven't heard of. They're gaining a following but in this age it's still taking some time. Keep enjoying them peeps, and I'm sure we'll still be watching to support and enjoy your journey!!! *^^* (Don't sell your guitars.. I play too, but I've learned that to compare yourself to utter goddesses is to miss the joy in playing.. lol)
You aint see nothing yet. But its a good start hehe. Lovebites is THE REAL DEAL! Maybe see and react to some thrash madness that they can do, Set The World on Fire or Thunder Vengeance, live of course. Get on Lovebites train and enjoy the ride. It is ride of a lifetime for sure... Take care.
Metal goddess 🔥🐺🤘
Thanks for your reaction, yeah it's Lovebites formed 2016 in Tokyo from ex Destrose band members Miho ( bas) and Haruna ( drummer) the band won Metal Hammer Golden Gods award for best new metal band in 2018. Very popular in Europe, the first female Japanese metal band who played in Wacken Germany (i see them live that time) next year 2019 they toured with Dragon force in the UK ( I've seen them again) they have 60+ songs till now and I can tell you right now none of them is bad. The best metal band these days in the world has come around in the decades. Midori and Miyako ( M&M) are the best guitar duos right now. Some reactor mentioned it seems to criminal those two guitarists to be in one band. Plus Asami the singer that is the formula for the best heavy metal period. My suggestion is to check the song Thunder vengeance from Zep Diversity Tokyo 2020. And another one Awakening/Hammer of wrath from the same show. Enjoy it. By the way I'm a new subscriber. Greetings from London.
Had a feeling you'd both enjoy Lovebites 😉
Their live performances are always stella. They've not got out of 3rd gear yet in your first 2 reactions to this band. Did you notice the big white instrument on the right of the stage? Also one of them trained in ballet for about 15 years. 😊
Welcome back and thank you for doing this reaction to lovebites again, this ladys are so talented and i have a great respect to them, LOVEBITES ROCK
Welcome to Lovebites! You won't be disappointed with any song from them. Wait till you get to one of the songs with piano in it. 😄
Yooo Love🐺 all day fellas! Keep it coming!
You just dissed one of the finest bands to come out of the 80s! Lovebites influences come from the 80s British metal era ie IRON MAIDEN and Judas Priest. What you said was incomprehensible and unconscionable. I will say this Lovebites are heading that direction and have actually left Metallica in the shade. Just a titbit " number of the beast " album is 41 today 22 March 1982 . Different decades between the two, one should say if it was not for IRON MAIDEN, the Lovebites sound maybe different and such remarks made would not exist 😊😉. Glad you enjoyed Lovebites and what the future holds for metal!! 😎🤟
I was immersed in Led Zep, Sabbath, Thin Lizzy, Priest and many others. Lovebites is in my opinion, today, what is best at all levels in the world of heavy, power, trash, metal ...
These 5 young women, that I discovered in 2018 in concert in Paris, are simply virtuosos in their respective art and for me there is among them a stratospheric genius: Myako (the brown guitarist) I do not say more you will discover why during your journey with Lovebites and especially on the track named "swan song".
Asami - Singer a unique voice with a power like rarely heard in metal
Haruna - Drums a phenomenon a concert is for her almost 2 hours of drum solo lol
Midori - Guitarist (blond) what can I say, she's just amazing, a great talent
Miyako - Guitarist and not only (brunette) she is not of this world it is certain... a genius as it is born 1 by century
Miho - Bassist (co-founder of the group with Haruna) she left them in 2021 and was replaced very recently by Fami, another Japanese bassist, Absolutely extraordinary.
You will realize that this guitar duo is absolutely gigantic in power, technique, writing and osmosis !!!!, they only lack the notoriety outside of Asia to become the best thing that history has created in the world of metal.
We could make a list of different songs on which you should react but it's useless, the whole of their work is a masterpiece with in it some Masterpiece with a very big M. So whatever the song or songs you choose let yourself be carried and enjoy
You should nevertheless have a look or an ear at two of their covers : Painkiller from Priest and Eagle fly free from Helloween.
Welcome to the Lovebites den
Have a good trip and have fun
Wolfpack forever
“LOVEBITES “🤘❤️😆🤘
these ladies are friggin awesome, they do not disappoint, great music and great lyrics, luv these ladies
To see you reacting makes me smile in a good way. Hope to see more from you
You are on a 'Long & winding Road' now guys. So many great live clips for you to see. You will get my subscription when you react to 'Scream For Me'. Still my favorite.
Fourteen guitar solos in the one song. Ten of them in Battle Mode. My top three contain 10 songs.
Yes they are in white. They are known as the 'White Wolves'.
"We are Lovebites and we play heavy metal!" - Asami from Lovebites.
All their songs are very different and all of them are perfect. All members are professionals.
You have to watch them more. I suggest you the song "Set the world on fire" from their UA-cam channel. You will be impressed.
Thank you for the reaction. More Lovebites on the channel.
The two guitarists, Miyako and Midori, are able to harmonize even when not facing each other because they use notations when composing the music. That way, they just need to memorize the notes they have to play at the proper time signature.
Lovebites and Nemophila are by far my favorite bands (for different reasons).. the musicianship is astronomical in both bands.. and both vocalists Asami and Mayu are very unique and amazing in their own right..(Asami has a theatrical delivery, (Nightwish,Bruce Dickinson) while Mayu is just Mayu..from a clean clear, to full on "banshee snarl" and back again, and everything in between. I'd comment further on the musicians of each band, but i'd have to text a chapter.. Thanks for the reaction..Youll not be sorry reacting to more Lovebites..(and ) Nemophila
The very first time I heard these ladies, it was this song and I instantly got the Iron Maiden vibe. You're spot on.
LOVEBITES⚡️🤘🐺🤘⚡️
🤘🏽LOVEBITES RULES🤘🏽
Next Lovebites song: "Break The Wall" Live! 🎸🔥
they have 4 albums of this and 4 EP's no bad songs
Welcome to the Wolfpack! It won't let you go again, trust me.
The founding bassist Miho ( in this video ) is a spiritual child of Steve Harris . Who was all about all metal but had a spot for the Maiden .
New bassist Fami ( Fah me) who you saw in the stand video is yet another magical prodigy .
The only one who could fill and grow with the band in Miho's heels .
😀😀😀😀😀 from Argentina
Thanks for the reaction. If you continue your journey into the World of LOVEBITES, many pleasant surprises will await you. LOVEBITES is the best thing that has appeared in the world of heavy music in the last 20 years. Believe me, this is not the opinion of some "crazy fan". This is reality. These smiling ladies in white dresses and high heels musically and technically absolutely dominate most "male" metal bands in black clothes with sullen faces.
To date, LOVEBITES has about 60 great original songs and musical compositions + 3 covers of songs from other bands ( HALESTORM, HELLOWEEN, JUDAS PRIEST).
I suggest you watch how the ladies open the concert: LOVEBITES - "Thunder Vengeance" ("Five of a Kind - Live in Tokyo 2020")
Lovebites have mastered the 'GAP' the difference in what you see (nice dresses and high heels) and what you hear (classic speed end trash metal).
Well, another one gonna sell their guitar 😂... Good reaction by the way, and welcome aboard..
Great reaction. I suggest you to try their Swan Song with Chopin Revolutionary Etude ua-cam.com/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/v-deo.html. You'll be surprised by another talent of Lovebites. It is a jaw dropping phenomenal performance, I guarantee you. No other bands can do it.
Welcome back to Lovebites.. I think you guys been bitten… by the way… another great reaction… your next song should be “Set the World on Fire “ live…
Please react more Lovebites live performance🎸
i feel ya first time i heard them i wanted to sell my guitars too and i have played for almost 45 years instead they have inspired me to try new things on them i have listened to all of their songs studio and live they have no bad ones its amazing they are an incredible group
You’ll notice LOVEBITES have a strong and loyal following but be aware there are equally good all-female metal bands in Japan today. They are all derived from the success of Aldious - find some Aldious live to see where it all began. They are still around too, just taking their time finding a new vocalist. Megalomaniac or Yozakura live are good examples of them, possibly Dominator or Reincarnation live too - whatever you pick, make it live which is a rule of thumb for most of these bands as you can see.
If you like Uplifting, Fast Tempo Speed Power Metal then Lovebites is likely youre New Drug. Over 60 studio songs and 3 Live DVD's worth the watch. The Musicianship is Off the Hook. Also you gotta Love the Japanese Play on Contrast in Art. Girls dressed in Ball Gowns dishing out 170bpm Shred upon shred. Life is Great thanks in Part too Japan.
So many other Lovebites videos to watch...
Enjoyed yr reaction,
