    A while back, a reactor asked me if there was any sounds Lovebites can't make; I said yeah, bad ones. I now have their entire collection; all EPs, all CDs. There is not a bad song on any of them. They STILL do not know how to sound bad and I don't believe they ever will.

    Some people think Miyako is some kind of cold femme fatale when they see her in stage but she isn't like that. She is just a nerdy, introspective girl who also is very concentrated when she plays. But she is a really sweet person if you see her out of the stage.
    Both this songs are really good but this concert is always blocked in Japan, so we recommend the versions that they played at the Five of a Kind show. Yeah the lyrics are always interesting, Asami, the singer, is who writes them. We the United is a song about humanity working together.

    Miyako doesn't need to smile, she just needs to stand there and shred your face off on her guitar. And besides, Midori smiles enough for both of them, and Fami is also a big smiler.

    Miyako always focused on music and enjoys music. She smiles a lot, but not as much as other members. She has fun with her own way!
    If you want a heavier song choose "Set the world on fire" on their official UA-cam channel. Also, there is a song "Break the wall" which is very heavy too.
    Thank you for your reaction. Waiting for more Lovebites on the channel!

    Great reaction, I think yours are amongst my top three for their thoughtful content. Asami is my favourite band member (by a hairs breadth) and it’s criminal how little recognition outside of the standard reaction channels that she gets. By that I mean that I’ve asked serious vocal coaches who I respect to check her out, and they just don’t. One did, to Holy War, said how utterly amazed she was, and then…zip. Yet other vocalists get disproportionately more attention. Asami has said that she sings every song as if it’s her last, and it shows. She puts real feeling into every note of every song and then every word of her MC work in between. The section in “Heavy Metal Never Dies” before “Glory to the World”, in which she describes her feelings during Covid, and how she thought she might never be able to stand in front of an audience again, whilst valiantly fighting back tears defeats me every time. Mine can’t be stopped!. Asami is a world class vocalist and front woman to a world class band who are peerless. I love her and I love them and I feel very proud to count myself as a fan. Especially with “We the United” which is very much a Wolfpack anthem.

      Bro HG, With respect to their physical endurance, i have no doubt about their relentless performance for that 2 hour over duration. as these ladies are petite, light footed and looks fit to run the distance. But what amazes me is their brain power, the capacity to contain about 18 to 20 compositions in memory and with precise reproducibility: for the length of the concert. Lovebites songs as we know are not the me too type of compositions, extracting the best from the musicians, resulting into a complex scheme of things, including harmonized riffs, octave variations, and dual and sync guitar solos and time signature dynamics that leaves no room to stray for exquisite perfect execution. These ladies seem suspiciously not human, especially the effortless endeavor, akin to robots with Artificial Intelligence running the algorithms programmed and implanted in their brains. Perhaps the only giveaway that professes their humanity is both Miyako and Asami being mothers now.😁

    LOVEBITES - Edge Of The World lyrics:
    Why do we learn to hate, deceive and lie, hurt each other?
    Why does it never end? The sorrow keeps on repeating
    Wailing, come downpours of the rain
    Will it end? No one ever knows
    Wondering, what only time can tell
    What is at the end of life?
    Why do we only see our own desires? Greed is endless
    Why is there authority when there is no justice in their rulings
    Struggling like feeble, helpless fools
    Will it end? No one ever knows
    Wandering, not knowing where to go
    Carrying the breath of life
    SOLO: miyako
    Standing at… The Edge of the World
    SOLO: midori / both / midori
    As long as you're still alive, remember
    - don't fear standing up, don't ever give it up
    Until the day you meet your end, it's not over
    - let your soul shine inside of your heart
    SOLO: midori
    As long as you're still alive, remember
    - keep your dignity, stay true to who you are
    Until the day you meet your end, it's not over
    - let your heart love and always be loved
    SOLO: midori
    How you live will always live on
    As your way of life, forever
    How you live will always live on
    As your way of life, forever
    How you live will always live on
    As your way of life, forever
    SOLO: both

    Why all the comparisons to other bands, guitarists, singers??? I never understood that...This band has their own style, sound, excellence. Never had the need to wonder who Boston, Grand Funk, Zepplin, Black Sabbath, etc reminds me of.....

    • @ige-individualgroupeffort-kenl
      @ige-individualgroupeffort-kenl  10 місяців тому

      No band exists in a vacuum and has no influences. Every band is put into a genre of music which makes them already compared to other bands within that genre. Led Zepellin was constantly being referred to as influenced by blues artists, Maiden was compared to Judas Priest, Oasis to the Beatles, Tool is an offshoot of Pink Floyd and so on. It is natural to hear influences and it is not an insult to a band to hear the influences in their music. Even the musicians themselves cite their influences openly and don't pretend that their music solely sprang from their own imaginations alone. Music is almost always a new take on an existing influence vocally and instrumentally. It doesn't take anything away from the band to recognize that.

    Interesting that you chose the "Daughters of the Dawn" version of these two songs rather than the "Five of a Kind" versions, but it doesn't really matter. I think they're a little smoother on FoaK, but the ladies bring so much skill and energy here that it's still a wonderful watch.
    I don't have a preference on anyone's outfit or hair, they always look beautiful, though I will say I'm glad Asami ditched the dress from Wacken 2018. She looked great and all, but I do not know how it stayed on her. Also, Midori's smile would be the second-best smile in all of Japanese metal with Beni from Wagakki Band taking the bronze medal and *adult* Moa from Babymetal in first place.

Incidently I have seen all three singers live. I really like all your 80's band references but you missed one out, Tony Iommi from Black Sabbath who never smiled while playing guitar, I remember him standing there playing like a Victorian automaton!! One last thing the 2020 version of these two songs were refined for the better, so in your own time check them out!! Im done here love your enthusiastic reactions 😎🤟

    @wolfgangwalk337 Рік тому +1

    Yes, it's definitely Miyako over Midori. Both are great players, but Miyako is more versatile and more lyrical as well as musical in her playing. I would without hesitation place her in a blues band, knowing that she would do a great job playing the blues. She comes from a classical background just like Ritchie Blackmore who she names as a great influence. And while Midori might be technically even slightly superior, Miyako is just adding more colours and emotion.
    Having said that: with Midori at your side you know you will rock any audience. That can't necessarily be said about Miyako.

    LOVEBITES - We The United lyrics:
    The silent dawn has been broken
    Our fate has now been decided for good
    Innocence can never be regained
    Blissful ignorance turns into guilt and shame
    We must first learn to give and understand
    That no one is able to live alone
    There is no need to be perfect
    Everyone has their own problems and faults
    Everything is indispensable,
    Every person is worthy and valuable
    Don’t give up on your life, fight for what’s right
    Live on and keep searching for answers
    We shall go forth
    Prideful, we stand united
    We can create miracles
    Always, there is a way
    SOLO: both
    Humans are greedy and selfish
    Wanting attention more than the respect
    Recognize the pain that others hide
    Have the strength to fight even for someone else
    People who’ve never made real enemies
    Have never stood up for what they believe
    We shall go forth
    Prideful, we stand united
    We can create miracles
    Always, there is a way
    Always, I will be here
    Always, we will be there

I don't feel like they are coming out of what I call the "Puppy Mill" of music. (Edit: The singer reminds me of Bruce Dickenson. He did minimal running around but concentrated more on projecting to the crowd.)

    An excellent performance but not their best for Edge of the World. Miyako makes a few mistakes in this one, but not noticeable on a first listen. Her best solo for this song is from their performance in Zepp DiverCity for their Five of a Kind recording. She hits some really nice pinch harmonics. Asami's performance is also much better in the Zepp show.
