Midori started practicing for competitive Body Fitness at the beginning of LOVEBITES' hiatus in 2021. Two years later, she has obviously shown more muscles in the "Judgement Day" video and in the live performances. She has already won two silver medals and competed in a national tournament (the day after a live show!!!).
That's a dangerous statement! Would you have said in 2021, that LOVEBITES can't become better any more? They have incredibly increased their skills during their hiatus, although they were so good until 2021 (and lost their bassist)!
@@marks5451 Granted! But just try, and maybe you can improve as well! Joke aside, they are near to perfection. They deliver for me everything, what I may miss with other bands... They've just blown me away (though I'm not a metal head, just a music lover!)...
Lots of people have a crush on Miyako. Here's a little backround ; She's 33 yrs old, is a wife and mother of 1. She's a classically trained pianist since the age of 3 & didn't pick up the guitar until she was 18. She is a masterful composer / arranger of music, writting about half the bands music. She loves Starwars & Disney, gos deep sea fishing and has 4 pets, a dog named Wampa ( named after a Starwars character ) an Owl, a baby boa & a parrot. On November 17th she is performing a piano recital ( an evening with Miyako ) which is sold out. In my opinion she is the definition of a Renaissance women !! 😏♥️🎙🎸🎹🥁😎🤘
Well, that settles it then, Miyako is now officially my favorite member of the band. I always kinda related to her, she seems to be a bit of an introvert, just like me. But what really seals the deal... she loves animals, Disney (I don't care for the new woke Disney though), and Star Wars. She could be me, if I was a beautiful, talented guitar shredding japanese woman in a metal band.
I should have seen that one coming, I am not surprised that those two are buddies. But I honestly can't decide if I like Lovebites or Nemophila more, they are both great bands.
@@ingopek5485 Yep, I know, you're right. There's no reason to choose really, just acknowledge the fact that we have two amazing bands, instead of just one. Some days might feel like Nemophila days, and some days more like Lovebites days, but both kinds of days are great. And other days you feel like listening to something else completely.
Thank you for checking them out. They are unique. Very few bands in history have ever done even one masterpiece, and this group have given us perhaps a half dozen. Check out "Edge of the World", "Swan Song" (WITH the Chopin Etude as intro); "Frozen Serenade" (Live, 2021); "Break the Wall" and, if you want a true ballad, "Epilogue".
Thanks for your bravery in trying out music that was outside your comfort zone. Doing that as a musician is as important as it is for a listener. One of the reasons I love Lovebites so much is the great variety in their compositions - with both different kinds of songs, and also within the individual songs. Miyako wrote this song years ago for her first band (a Drop of Joker). It was originally a Metalcore (growls) song, but she re-arranged it as a Lovebites song. If you decide that you actually *do* want some Metal in your life, there are a lot more Lovebites songs, and a lot of Japanese bands, many of them all-female for you to react to in the future.
@@ingopek5485 Oh look - our regular LOVEBITES troll has returned to spend some of his valuable time to troll LOVEBITES comments even though he hates the band.
@@ingopek5485 I have seen you post numerous obvious troll posts over recent times. I have also seen other commentors call you out for your trolling. If you've matured, ceased your trolling and are now commenting like an adult, then I congratulate you and hope you keep it up. Personal growth is a good thing and I commend it when I see it.
Thank you for your reaction! It was very interesting! I think you already have a lot of suggestions! You can't choose the wrong song with Lovebites! Thank you again! More Lovebites on the channel!
For slower paced songs I'd recommend The Edge of The World and Epilogue- For songs that have Miyako on Piano check out A Frozen Serenade during middle she gets on Piano and Midori gets on an acoustic also Miyakos masterpiece Swan Song with Chopin Intro.
I think that you would really like ‘Edge of the World’ from the five of a kind show. It’s a song that builds into the metal from a very bluesy opening.
Miyako looks cool, but she is quite goofy. During a European tour, she forgot her shoes and was the only one on stage wearing black boots. She is also the type of person who makes jokes without changing her facial expression.
I love this song so much; tasteful, soulful and melodic guitar solos, and soulful Asami’s vocals, although I miss the piano intro by Miyako in this version. Thanks for reacting to amazing Lovebites and spreading the word because they deserve more recognition. These women are extremely talented, skillful and versatile exceptional musicians. Those twin lead guitar solos by Midori and Miyako are already legendary, in just six years. Miho (ex bassist and founder of the band) said in an interview that they wanted to play as heavy as men but keeping their femininity. Asami used to sing R&B, soul and jazz before she joined the band. Miyako is a concert level classical pianist, trained since she was 3 years old. For you, I also recommend “Edge of the world”, “Epilogue”, “Empty daydream”, “Frozen serenade”, “Chopin Etude + Swan song” (all live, because they really shine in their live performances)
Asami & Miyako ・・What a cool moms they are． Midori・・She has something special that fascinates women all over the world． Fami & Haruna・・Rythm section is already impregnable on the day of live debut． LOVEBITES is ultimate heavy metal band by super sophisticated ladies‼️

I really think you would LOVE " Edge of the World " it's a song that starts slowly and builds and builds with a wonderful solo by Miyako and then builds some more without ever getting overpowering . BTW - Midori didn't get the muscles from playing guitar - she's a bodybuilder ! Midori and Miyako = Fire and Ice
General suggestions for LOVEBITES... - Holy War - Edge Of The World - A Frozen Serenade - Swan Song (with Chopin intro) - When Destinies Align - Set The World On Fire - Break The Wall - Shadowmaker - Raise Some Hell - Epilogue (another "E" song, next to "Edge Of The World" and "Empty Daydream") - Glory To The World - Rising - Winds Of Transylvania (VLADLOVE version) - Thunder Vengeance * Don't Bite The Dust - Dancing With The Devil - The Awakening / The Hammer Of Wrath - Nameless Warrior [OMV] - Liar - We The United Live album 2CD/DVD/Blu-ray from August 23rd, 2023, of March 11th live concert - The Hammer Of Wrath (live 2023) (first promotional video) - Nameless Warrior (live 2023) (second snippet) - Judgement Day (live 2023) (third snippet) * Liar (live 2023) (forth snippet) Upcoming live album 2CD/DVD/Blu-ray from December 20th, 2023, of March 12th live concert New stuff (LOVEBITES 2.0, with new bassist Fami) - Judgement Day [OMV] - Stand And Deliver (Shoot 'Em Down) [OMV] Other new stuff from new album (audio and release party only) - Soldier Stands Solitarily - We Are The Resurrection - Lost In The Garden - Dissonance - My Orion - The Spirit Goes On - Wicked Witch - Victim Of Time
More unusual (but still very good) stuff - The Apocalypse - Under The Red Sky - Above The Black Sea - Empty Daydream - Scream For Me - Signs Of Deliverance - Addicted - Inspire - Spellbound - Dystopia Symphony - Bravehearted - Burden Of Time (must see with a special gimmick by Miyako!) - The Crusade - Today Is The Day - Journey To The Otherside - No Time To Hesitate - Pledge Of The Saviour - M.D.O. - Mastermind 01 - Paranoia - The Unbroken - Warning Shot - Golden Destination Audio only - Puppet On Strings - The Final Collision Covers - Eagle Fly Free (Helloween) - Painkiller (Judas Priest) - Love Bites (So Do I) (Halestorm) Miyako piano covers (Etude Op.23) - Eagle Fly Free (Helloween) - Burn (Deep Purple) - Battery (Metallica) - The Loner (Gary Moore) - Far Beyond The Sun (Yngwie Malmsteen) - Addicted (LOVEBITES)
Ah, a woman crush on Miyako. Normally Midori gets all of those. Wouldn't that be nice if all those muscles came from just guitar playing? I'm afraid to look like that you'll have to pump iron for three hours four times a week and follow a very exact diet. She's a hobby bodybuilder and has won two silver medals in open tournaments in Japan.
@ingopek5485 It's all a matter of taste. Some people like more bulk, some, less. I think they are all looking great. But I totally hear you. Sometimes (in my taste) it can get a bit much.
From a finger strength standpoint, playing the electric guitar is much easier than playing the acoustic guitar. Midori's muscles don't come from playing guitar. :)
@@ronireacts_to_all There is a "Short" in Haruna's (Lovebites drummer) YT channel, where Midori (blonde guitarist) is shown while working out in a gym center. In her natural beauty (without live show make-up), in functional clothing, working on some machines. Somehow fascinating, that footage.
Now try Frozen Serenade Live and catch Midori on the acoustic guitar and then shredding on the electric ax. You also get a treat of Miyako on the piano (real classical trained virtuoso). These musicians are insanely talented ( just happen to be female ) and will grow on you as you experience more of their different talents. Asami really shows off her chops and her R&B /Soul and Jazz background. Careful as the rabbit hole is very deep, and if you end up chasing Band Maid or the Warning, you will be lost in it for quite a while. Haruna is only 4' 9" on drums, and Asami is 4' 10" on vocals. They are petite women who wear their feminity proudly but are metal goddesses once they hit the stage.
This is my recommendation for you. "BURDEN OF TIME(Live from Abyss 2020)" "WE THE UNITED" [Live at zepp Divercity Tokyo 2020] ＜3E Songs by LOVEBITES＞ "Edge of the World" "Empty Daydream" "EPILOGUE" + "Frozen Serenade". All refer to live performances.
Yes, they are living metal goddesses! For the slow ones I recommend Frozen Serenade or Edge of the a world. Regardless of the speed Swan Song is another eye popping and only they can do performance. And metal redefinition great master piece is Judgement Day, as this is a new one I prefer studio version now.. Ah, very fun and also can see their Goofy side is Stand and Deliver. I can recommend more than 10 more, but Will shut up!
Hahaha thank you Terry! And yes I got a few more of their stuff I want to listen too soon. Swan song, Frozen serenade and the three E's are on that list! 🤘🎸🎶🙏😁
Blue & White Guitar...White Pants? Was more on the right? That who you're talking about? She's the one I noticed...not a lot of facial expression. Just doing her thing...all business. She was my favorite. Something about the "all business" I respect but I think mainly, it's just different than much of what you see from musicians. Different is good. Sorry, I tried finding photos/names but given some changes in the band and not knowing when this was recorded, gave up. I won't go into a lot of commentary...last time I did (respectfully) UA-cam warned me against Spam/Fraud so I think I may have offended a fan. Lyrically...not my cup of tea. Musically, really liked it. I'll likely stick with my normal Straight up Black Coffee and do Tea once in a while when I'm in the mood. PS: Bless you! 🤧That was quite the sneeze. I had to wipe off MY monitor. 😆 PSS: Feel free to skip replying to this comment. Looks like you've got quite the backlog and I know you're busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking competition trying to reply to them all.
D!!! I can't skip replying to you! And thank you! That was a solid sneeze. 😄 And I hear you, it's not the usual music I listen to, but I agree - melodicaly it was fun! 💜
@@ronireacts_to_all I hear you but I still feel a bit guilty commenting on these when you react to an artist with a huge following that generates a lot of comments. Takes only a bit for me to comment and support you and your channel but I know you spend a lot of time religiously replying to everyone without exception. So feel free to skip anytime. Again, I'm here because I enjoy you and your channel and want to support you...not suck up more of your time. Besides, I know that you know...that I know you know that I'm super awesome. 🤣
They’re new stuff since the change of Bass player is even more kick ass! Asami’s singing is also much better, she’s gone to another level! Both guitarists are amazing, it goes without saying but I’m more favouring Midori’s shredding now she’s just so hot and 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 Do I detect big time fangurling for Miyako? 🌹
Haha, call me crazy, but I like the vibe of Miyako, this coolness. I like her style of playing so much! But I do like Midori's guitar better (color and design wise).
@@ronireacts_to_all Thank you for your kind opinion. 😊 What I like so much about these ladies, is, that they are _themselves_ , just as they are. No-one of them is _acting_ to leave a good impression. Miyako seems to be reserved, distanced, but that is just her way of being focused. There were other moments in other live shows, where she smiles happily about something, or interacts with the band or the audience. Heartwarming. 😊
God bless you, gesuntheit, or prosit, as we say where I come from 😁 You listen to this song, and think to yourself, well, it's a damn good song, and then you realize it's actually quite far from being your favorite Lovebites song. That's the kind of talent this band has, "very good" is as bad as it gets when it comes to Lovebites.
@@ronireacts_to_all Not gonna lie, that intro caught me by surprise, but it was funny, and even a little adorable 😄 And then there's me, sounding like an exploding steam engine when I sneeze 😂
@Pascal-the-Rascal Hahaha. I kinda sorta forgot to delete it from the editing timeline, but I now feel like it's a fun little moment. Might consider to do something like that in a beginning of every video. 😅
@@ronireacts_to_all Haha, a good thing you forgot to delete it. As if your videos aren't filled with personality and charisma as it is, that sneeze made it even better 😋 What can I say, I'm easily amused.
Roni! I was wondering, have you heard Nemophila? If not, I am curious what you'd think about them. They recently released two videos, from the same live performance, that show two sides to them, and how good they are live. It would be fun to watch you do a blind reaction to them, maybe do a double reaction video 😁 Change the World: ua-cam.com/video/tQ81olc0_NI/v-deo.html Zen: ua-cam.com/video/k1yPbBRHFms/v-deo.html
I think you got the best sound I have ever heard. Most reactors don't have their sound adjusted properly. TO much guitar, no bass. To much bass little to no guitar. Overly loud guitars little to no bass and drums but no cymbals. You name it. But on your channel, I can clearly hear the difference between each guitarist. Bass, drums and cymbals can clearly be heard. I will be paying more attention to your channel.
Oh I'm so glad to hear that! I'm not an audio engineer, but whenever I record a video, I try to lower the audio of it a bit so it doesn't sound too distorted. I'm glad that little thing I do helps the quality. 🙏🙏🙏
@@ronireacts_to_all Whatever you do it works..lol I guess in this case It's a good thing not to know, like in Louisiana it's good to not know what's going on with some of the food there. Delicious just don't ask to many questions about it.
‘Stand and ‘Deliver,’ next please. Live or MV, both are great.
Added to the list! Thanks!
Midori started practicing for competitive Body Fitness at the beginning of LOVEBITES' hiatus in 2021. Two years later, she has obviously shown more muscles in the "Judgement Day" video and in the live performances. She has already won two silver medals and competed in a national tournament (the day after a live show!!!).
Wow! 💪💪💪🔥
I don't know anything about body building but I am impressed!
Lovebites never disampointed when LIVE. Their gimmick is their abillities.
🎸🔥🤘
Lovebites chose white to be completely different from all the other metal bands who always wear black. I love it, makes them unique.
I like that!
There is nothing more lovely and graceful than Lovebites, masters, and monsters of metal
🎸🙏💜🎶
If you want a slow song from LOVEBITES, try "Epiloque" the only slow song in their catalog, they have more ballads, but they speed up at the end! 🤘
Thank you! It's on my list! 🙏💜🎸
I don't think I could love this band any more than I currently do. I would so love to spend time in their presence. It would be an absolute honor.
That's a dangerous statement! Would you have said in 2021, that LOVEBITES can't become better any more? They have incredibly increased their skills during their hiatus, although they were so good until 2021 (and lost their bassist)!
@@rainerzufall42 I expect they probably will get better. But I just love them so much that I have no more love to find. 😊
@@marks5451 Granted! But just try, and maybe you can improve as well! Joke aside, they are near to perfection. They deliver for me everything, what I may miss with other bands... They've just blown me away (though I'm not a metal head, just a music lover!)...
🎸😁🎶
"Edge of the World" and "Swan Song w/Chopin intro" are two beauties that will reel you in fully!
Looking forward to hear them!
Lots of people have a crush on Miyako. Here's a little backround ;
She's 33 yrs old, is a wife and mother of 1. She's a classically trained pianist since the age of 3 & didn't pick up the guitar until she was 18. She is a masterful composer / arranger of music, writting about half the bands music. She loves Starwars & Disney, gos deep sea fishing and has 4 pets, a dog named Wampa ( named after a Starwars character ) an Owl, a baby boa & a parrot.

She could be me, if I was a beautiful, talented guitar shredding japanese woman in a metal band.
And her fishing buddy is Mayu from Nemophila.
I should have seen that one coming, I am not surprised that those two are buddies. But I honestly can't decide if I like Lovebites or Nemophila more, they are both great bands.
I confess I have a crush on Miyako. She is just pure class and a supreme talent.
@@ingopek5485 Yep, I know, you're right. There's no reason to choose really, just acknowledge the fact that we have two amazing bands, instead of just one. Some days might feel like Nemophila days, and some days more like Lovebites days, but both kinds of days are great. And other days you feel like listening to something else completely.
Haruna showing off behind the drums with those stick twirls while being so cute it should be illegal.
But why does she make it look so easy and effortless?!?!?!? I can't even tap my foot on beat!
@@ronireacts_to_all Because she is Haruna. 🤷♂😁
And you look so amazing and classy, because you are Roni. 😊

Crush on Miyako? Ok, then you will love "SWAN SONG + Chopin Intro"... Miyako is a Pianist who later learned to play guitar.
It's on my list and I just can't wait! 🙏🎶💜🎸
And she plays keythar
Lovebites' guitar solos are like a door to what you want most 🎸🔥💯
Really want an electric guitar now... 😂🎸⚡🔥

Agree with these suggestions.
Ah, man! I look forward to hearing them! 🙏🎸🤘
The next step is the song with the grand piano like: Chopin etude+Swan song, Empty daydream and Frozen serenade. Thank you!
🙏🙏🙏
I think that you would really like ‘Edge of the World’ from the five of a kind show. It’s a song that builds into the metal from a very bluesy opening.
Thank you! Yes it's on my list so I'll try to get to it! 🙏🎸
Miyako looks cool, but she is quite goofy. During a European tour, she forgot her shoes and was the only one on stage wearing black boots. She is also the type of person who makes jokes without changing her facial expression.
lol I like her even more now!
I love this band.
I second that. 😁
Yes this is real heavy metal playing by masters. Nothing in the past was better than these Ladies. Thanks for this review.
Thank you for watching! 🙏🙏🙏
Oh you'll see it soon enough! (Hint: I'm editing it!!! Ahhhh!)
They have so many great songs. When you’re ready to jump into something harder, you might as well dive into the deep end ‘Break the Wall’.
I will probably go first with one of their slower paced songs first, but after that - YESSSSSSS
Midori on the side is a Bodybuilder she's taken as high as 2nd place.
Oh cool! That's why she looks so strong!
@ingopek5485 I just Googled it, and looks like she is! 😄💪
I love this song so much; tasteful, soulful and melodic guitar solos, and soulful Asami’s vocals, although I miss the piano intro by Miyako in this version.

My favourite piece before this song is Miyako's rendition of Chopin's Ballade no.1
It was the first track I went to on the dvd!!
I still have to listen to that one...
Miyako may not show emotion because of her classical musical training. On her own UA-cam channel, she bought a new guitar and traveled.
💜🎸
Bless you

Asami & Miyako ・・What a cool moms they are．

Midori's muscle isn't actually from playing guitar. She is a competitive body builder!
Badass!
On October 5, 2023 I went to a special concert of lovebites at ZEPP Yokohama!
It was about 2 hours long concert.
Concert tickets are around $60.
Drinks are an additional 600 JPN yen (Alcohol was also available).

LOVEBITES - Liar lyrics:
I always thought that you were my knight in shining armour
Took away my sorrow to feel I was your queen
Court jester
Hey I still can't believe you did this to me
Exiled from our castle as you crucified me
An executioner of every oath and vow of love
You played me
A sorcerer's enchanted spell's the iron maiden
And the ruler of my heart
You're just a liar
A slayer of the soul
Regret the day I ever looked inside of your eyes, yeah
You're just a liar
There's so much that I didn't wanna know
But then you let me go
Cause you're just a liar
I'm fallen
Still wondering why you'd wanna do this to me
Reminded though it's tormenting my sanity now
A blasphemy
Nothing but a facade, a fake reality spun
I wish that I could put this pain into a spell of
Blackest magic on your heart
You're just a liar
A slayer of the soul
Still can't believe it took so long to see your disguise, yeah
You're just a liar
There's so much that I didn't wanna know
But then you let me go
Cause you're just a liar
SOLO: miyako / both
You're just a liar
A slayer of the soul
Regret the day I ever looked inside of your eyes, yeah
You're just a liar
There's so much that I didn't wanna know
But then you let me go
No more
Just a lie
You're just a liar
A slayer of the soul
Still can't believe that it took so long to see
Through your disguise
You're just a liar
There's so much that I didn't wanna know but then
You let me go
Cause you're just a lie
SOLO: midori / both

they all are so awesome. but drummer haruna is the hero for me in this one.
She's a badass. And makes it look so easy!
I really think you would LOVE " Edge of the World " it's a song that starts slowly and builds and builds with a wonderful solo by Miyako and then builds some more without ever getting overpowering .
BTW - Midori didn't get the muscles from playing guitar - she's a bodybuilder !
Midori and Miyako = Fire and Ice
I can't wait to watch these already! 🙏💜🐺🤘💪🎸⚡

Ah, a woman crush on Miyako. Normally Midori gets all of those.
Wouldn't that be nice if all those muscles came from just guitar playing? I'm afraid to look like that you'll have to pump iron for three hours four times a week and follow a very exact diet. She's a hobby bodybuilder and has won two silver medals in open tournaments in Japan.
Oh I didn't know that! That's impressive.
@ingopek5485 It's all a matter of taste. Some people like more bulk, some, less. I think they are all looking great. But I totally hear you. Sometimes (in my taste) it can get a bit much.
Fami Fami Fami!
💜🎸🎶
From a finger strength standpoint, playing the electric guitar is much easier than playing the acoustic guitar. Midori's muscles don't come from playing guitar. :)
Ah! And here I thought it might have been from hours of holding it (I know, I know... there's a strap...). 😅🎸🎶
@@ronireacts_to_all No, it is from hours of moving metal weights. 😁
😅
@@ronireacts_to_all There is a "Short" in Haruna's (Lovebites drummer) YT channel, where Midori (blonde guitarist) is shown while working out in a gym center. In her natural beauty (without live show make-up), in functional clothing, working on some machines. Somehow fascinating, that footage.
Now try Frozen Serenade Live and catch Midori on the acoustic guitar and then shredding on the electric ax. You also get a treat of Miyako on the piano (real classical trained virtuoso). These musicians are insanely talented ( just happen to be female ) and will grow on you as you experience more of their different talents. Asami really shows off her chops and her R&B /Soul and Jazz background. Careful as the rabbit hole is very deep, and if you end up chasing Band Maid or the Warning, you will be lost in it for quite a while. Haruna is only 4' 9" on drums, and Asami is 4' 10" on vocals. They are petite women who wear their feminity proudly but are metal goddesses once they hit the stage.
Can't wait to get to it! 🎸💜🙏🎶🤘
This is my recommendation for you.
"BURDEN OF TIME(Live from Abyss 2020)"
"WE THE UNITED" [Live at zepp Divercity Tokyo 2020]
＜3E Songs by LOVEBITES＞
"Edge of the World"
"Empty Daydream"
"EPILOGUE"
+ "Frozen Serenade".
All refer to live performances.
🎸🙏💜🐺
Miyako can also play bass and drums. Piano is at the level of a professional pianist
🎶🎸🤘🔥
Please listen the "Swan Song" whith chopin intro.....
Myako starts playing piano first whith 7 years old....
You gone blow way.....
Really looking forward to it!
Yes, they are living metal goddesses! For the slow ones I recommend Frozen Serenade or Edge of the a world. Regardless of the speed Swan Song is another eye popping and only they can do performance. And metal redefinition great master piece is Judgement Day, as this is a new one I prefer studio version now.. Ah, very fun and also can see their Goofy side is Stand and Deliver. I can recommend more than 10 more, but Will shut up!
Hahaha thank you Terry!
And yes I got a few more of their stuff I want to listen too soon. Swan song, Frozen serenade and the three E's are on that list! 🤘🎸🎶🙏😁
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘❤❤❤❤❤
💜💜💜🎸🤘🔥⚡✨
Blue & White Guitar...White Pants? Was more on the right? That who you're talking about? She's the one I noticed...not a lot of facial expression. Just doing her thing...all business. She was my favorite. Something about the "all business" I respect but I think mainly, it's just different than much of what you see from musicians. Different is good. Sorry, I tried finding photos/names but given some changes in the band and not knowing when this was recorded, gave up.
I won't go into a lot of commentary...last time I did (respectfully) UA-cam warned me against Spam/Fraud so I think I may have offended a fan. Lyrically...not my cup of tea. Musically, really liked it. I'll likely stick with my normal Straight up Black Coffee and do Tea once in a while when I'm in the mood.
PS: Bless you! 🤧That was quite the sneeze. I had to wipe off MY monitor. 😆
PSS: Feel free to skip replying to this comment. Looks like you've got quite the backlog and I know you're busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking competition trying to reply to them all.
D!!! I can't skip replying to you!
And thank you! That was a solid sneeze. 😄
And I hear you, it's not the usual music I listen to, but I agree - melodicaly it was fun! 💜
@@ronireacts_to_all I hear you but I still feel a bit guilty commenting on these when you react to an artist with a huge following that generates a lot of comments. Takes only a bit for me to comment and support you and your channel but I know you spend a lot of time religiously replying to everyone without exception. So feel free to skip anytime. Again, I'm here because I enjoy you and your channel and want to support you...not suck up more of your time.
Besides, I know that you know...that I know you know that I'm super awesome. 🤣
@dyoung3536 Hahaha 🤣 Yes you are! Awesome I mean.
🤘
🤘⚡🙏💜
👍👍👍👍
🙏🙏🙏
They’re new stuff since the change of Bass player is even more kick ass! Asami’s singing is also much better, she’s gone to another level! Both guitarists are amazing, it goes without saying but I’m more favouring Midori’s shredding now she’s just so hot and 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Do I detect big time fangurling for Miyako? 🌹
Haha, call me crazy, but I like the vibe of Miyako, this coolness. I like her style of playing so much! But I do like Midori's guitar better (color and design wise).
@@ronireacts_to_all Thank you for your kind opinion. 😊
What I like so much about these ladies, is, that they are _themselves_ , just as they are. No-one of them is _acting_ to leave a good impression. Miyako seems to be reserved, distanced, but that is just her way of being focused. There were other moments in other live shows, where she smiles happily about something, or interacts with the band or the audience. Heartwarming. 😊
Love it!
God bless you, gesuntheit, or prosit, as we say where I come from 😁 You listen to this song, and think to yourself, well, it's a damn good song, and then you realize it's actually quite far from being your favorite Lovebites song. That's the kind of talent this band has, "very good" is as bad as it gets when it comes to Lovebites.
Ha! Danke! 🎸🙏💜
@@ronireacts_to_all Not gonna lie, that intro caught me by surprise, but it was funny, and even a little adorable 😄 And then there's me, sounding like an exploding steam engine when I sneeze 😂
@Pascal-the-Rascal Hahaha. I kinda sorta forgot to delete it from the editing timeline, but I now feel like it's a fun little moment.
Might consider to do something like that in a beginning of every video. 😅
@@ronireacts_to_all Haha, a good thing you forgot to delete it. As if your videos aren't filled with personality and charisma as it is, that sneeze made it even better 😋 What can I say, I'm easily amused.
Roni! I was wondering, have you heard Nemophila? If not, I am curious what you'd think about them. They recently released two videos, from the same live performance, that show two sides to them, and how good they are live. It would be fun to watch you do a blind reaction to them, maybe do a double reaction video 😁

I think you got the best sound I have ever heard. Most reactors don't have their sound adjusted properly. TO much guitar, no bass. To much bass little to no guitar. Overly loud guitars little to no bass and drums but no cymbals. You name it. But on your channel, I can clearly hear the difference between each guitarist. Bass, drums and cymbals can clearly be heard. I will be paying more attention to your channel.
Oh I'm so glad to hear that! I'm not an audio engineer, but whenever I record a video, I try to lower the audio of it a bit so it doesn't sound too distorted.
I'm glad that little thing I do helps the quality. 🙏🙏🙏
@@ronireacts_to_all Whatever you do it works..lol I guess in this case It's a good thing not to know, like in Louisiana it's good to not know what's going on with some of the food there. Delicious just don't ask to many questions about it.
@@johnmagill7714 LOL. Now I want to go there. 😅🤣🙏
🤘🐺💖👸🤘
🐺🙏💜⚡🤘🎸
If it isn't obvious from the opening, Asami used to be an R&B singer.
Oh, I didn't know that!
