You nailed a key point: One of their strengths is that Midori and Miyako are actually so different in style and tone, which makes their duets all the more powerful. Midori is the extrovert and speed demon; Miyako ("the hot one") is the introvert, with the more soulful feel. Midori uses a cleaner tone, Miyako uses more distortion and pinch harmonics. Miyako writes most of the band's songs, but Midori writes her own solos within that structure. Either one can obviously smoke most of the shredders in the classic metal bands. As another reactor said, "It seems criminal these two are allowed to be in the same band together."
@@TheChampOfMedium They don't just do Power Metal either. They can hold their own in Thrash, Power Ballads, Power Metal...the only limit is their imaginations. They remind established bands how it should be done. Metallica could use some lessons from them, for one. They're a solid unit who are true friends, not just musicians contractually obliged to be on the same stage.
the stunned look on your face after about halfway through the solo is priceless.never seen anything like these 2. and your self described 'hot one' writes most of the music. that's miyako. and midori the blonde writes her solos as far as i know
Bro, since I was introduced to them by your reaction to Shadowmaker I have become OBSESSED with them!! You definitely have to see their lives, they are another level of talent!! Edge of the World, Liar, Swan Song, Holy War, Epilogue and Empty Daydream are VERY highly recommend bro!!! Thanks for initially introducing me to this band, much appreciation!!
LOVEBITES / Holy War(Official live MV) This song has a double sweep picking solo. The official live MV also has good video and sound, so it is recommended for watching your first LOVEBITES Live.
"Thunder Vengeance," "Raise Some Hell" or "Holy War" are online from a live performance. They are awesome. "Raise Some Hell" is great because they move all around the stage and seem to lighten up a lot and have some fun. Great reaction video.
With lovebites you should really check their live performances: - "Holy War" and "Thunder Vengeance" should be a good start Another Japanese band you should check is Unlucky Morpheus: Black Pentagram Cadaver / Revadac Again, another amazing live band. They are independent so you shouldnt have any copyright issues.
"Raise Some Hell" (Five of a Kind - which is their live DVD from the Zepp Diversity Tokyo concert in early 2020) is also a good one. Awesome stage performance.
Hey, nice reaction. Although they are known for power metal, Lovebites songs go from Heavy rock, thrash metal, power metal, ballads, with this much talent they play a wide variety of styles. Miyako (black hair guitar) tends to go for a more melodic approach on her soloing i feel while Midori (blond hair guitar) loves to shred and so her solos are usually faster and more aggressive. Just like Band Maid, if you aren't watching them Live you are missing out! Amazing Live band. (just avoid Bloodstock videos, bad audio mix on that show) Try Break The Wall, Hammer of Wrath, Holy War, Swan Song, all Live, from their Five of a Kind show. Stay safe!
You putting off lovebites for a few months was a blessing in disguise. A lot of their pro shot live performances should be available. Also I don’t know the timing since I’m crazy excited about bandmaid’s next single being an anime opening, but lovebites will have one of their songs be an anime opening soon as well! Super excited just to see power metal open an anime!
I am impressed with your detailed breakdown of solos. Thumbs up! You gotta do Live versions of Holy War/Empty Daydream/Swan Song. Also, please do music video version of Rising. The best dual solo from Midori and Miyako. Keep up the good work, bro!!!
Yes, Miyako and Midori write their own solos' parts with their own styles and their own picking approaches, then they harmonize for the duelings (lots of work to be in the same tempo at this level !) And You're right, YOU HAVE TO CHECK THIS SONG LIVE (Tokyo 2020) !!
I've been fortunate4 enough to be able to land their live DVD "Five of a Kind".. That is one hell of a live gig. I think much of their lilve material here in YT is from that show. A couple from the live shows to check out for future reference would be "Thunder Vengeance" (the show opener), "Raise Some Hell" and for laughs I'd look at this one and "Shadowmaker" for a point of reference. Miyako (the dark haired guitar goddess) is the lady who also dabbles on the keys.. and when I say dabble I really mean virtuoso.
Japanese All female Rock and Metal Bands , that is a gloriously long list my friend , though Lovebites do stand out even if they are shorter physically LOL.
Great reaction, next time check their live performance from Five Of A Kind concert. Songs: Holy War, Edge Of The World, Shadowmaker. *The black haired guitarist also play piano in the live concert.
This song was written by Miyako(dark haired guitarist) I believe, with lyrics by Asami(singer). Miho(Bass) also writes some of their stuff. Unusually for a Japanese band, virtually all lyrics are in English. I would suggest trying: Don't Bite The Dust Golden Destination - Saw them live last year and although it's to fast to tell I like to think I appear in their music video outside the venue waiting to get in :) Break The Wall The Crusade Journey To The Otherside - I heard Miho wrote this about her father. The live video brings a tear to the eye.
Good to find someone who intelligently breaks down the song and waits for the solo or verse to complete before doing so. There are way too many like and subscribe head nodders out there unfortunately.
With Lovebites almost all their songs are in English. The only songs in Japanese are from their first EP. All the songs from their three full length albums are in English. Edit* Miyako the guitarist with the Dean guitar wrote the whole song. I don't know if Midori the other guitar player with the white ESP wrote her solo or not.
More of them, pretty much stick to live performances as they are masterful; Swan Song - ua-cam.com/video/QUGCQ1FTB0g/v-deo.html Scream for Me - ua-cam.com/video/9Og4gvSUmCo/v-deo.html We The United - ua-cam.com/video/D9HymwWYsTQ/v-deo.html Edge of the World - ua-cam.com/video/FGRxXCDtRFA/v-deo.html The Hammer of Wrath - ua-cam.com/video/S3vjrVtAvzE/v-deo.html Thunder Vengeance - ua-cam.com/video/yWE7PqCpGi4/v-deo.html Holy War - ua-cam.com/video/bgAxpEpEcno/v-deo.html Empty Daydream - ua-cam.com/video/lXh_uMM94jU/v-deo.html M.D.O. - ua-cam.com/video/NW0hq66Gp9Q/v-deo.html The Crusade (live/MV) - ua-cam.com/video/ueKyQ4xI-mY/v-deo.html
Excellent reaction! I don't have any insight, but it would be my guess that Midori and Miyako write their solo parts together as a team. It's the only way they could pull off what they do. Miyako (the dark haired one) was classically trained as a pianist from a very early age (as you'll no doubt discover in subsequent reactions). She has a very unique shredding style that always intrigues me. She approaches the fretboard at an angle all the way up the neck, and she tends to favor her middle finger for deep bends. Midori's style is more classic "shredder" as she rotates her hand perpendicular to the neck as she goes up and bends with her ring finger. Not being a pianist myself, I wonder if Miyako's approach comes from her piano technique. Ever have a pretty girl give you a sultry look while performing arpeggio sweeps? LOL
I'd bet it comes from years of piano playing, you build a lot of strength in your wrists and fingers, also the the use of all ten fingers independently playing at the same time. Listen to Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata 3rd movement (ua-cam.com/video/BV7RkEL6oRc/v-deo.html) as a good example of the dexterity needed for a top level classical pianist and compare that with top guitar playing.
Here are their names just so you can get more affiliated with them: Singer: Asami Drums: Haruna Guitarist: Midori (blonde) Guitarist: Miyako (brunette) Bassist: Miho
I'm so glad you back again to reaction for Lovebites. I'm so impressed with your first reaction to Lovebites. What a great reaction. Thank you so much. Lovebites have many shredtastic fantastic song. But some song maybe get blocked. Hope you still want reaction to Lovebites. Next song try reaction to live performance of them. The song called "Holy war" from they live concert. This is a link : ua-cam.com/video/bgAxpEpEcno/v-deo.html I thing this not get blocked. Hope you check out and can enjoy it too. Once again. Big thanks🙏
Lol that melting face.. I'll keep saying this, Miyako is so sexy on guitars! /,,/ Hey bro how about reacting to alternative idols like Broken by the Scream and PassCode!
Nah, I was supposed to watch them on a Livestream but it got blocked before I got to them... I had a lot of requests tho... maybe I'll jump into them...
for the big structure of their music...i guess maybe you can check their "holy war" or "swan song" in live version these ladies just so freakin' amazing \m/
YES! More of the goddess’s of power metal Love Bites please. I just love the look on your face during the solos pure gold. Lol keep up the great work Champ. If you’re looking for more J rock you can try Doll$box “take my chance “ Garchirc spin “lock on” or Redline” good place to start or you can do more Scandal like maybe “Masterpiece” or an older one like “Doll” just a few ideas 🤗 Have a great day champ.
Lovebites fan here. As others have already said: check out their live performances. Many vids are available from their DVD concert Five of a Kind - Live at Zepp Divercity ~Tokyo 2020 FYI: all their mixing and mastering is done by Finnish engineers Mikko Karmila and Mika Jussila at Finnvox Studios
I’m not sure of this song but I read their interview in Japanese that Miyako (right side with Dean guitar) writes songs and also solos for both with considering Midori(left side)’ s playing style. Musically Miyako has got classical music background since very young and only started playing guitar after 18 years old. So there are some heavy classical music influenced songs, such as Swan Song, Above the Black Sea or Under the Red Sky.
全員女性の日本のメタルバンドだとNEMOPHILAも良いよ＼(^o^)／ For an all-female Japanese metal band, NEMOPHILA is also good. 【MV】NEMOPHILA / 雷霆 -RAITEI- ua-cam.com/video/lh-dVLKP314/v-deo.html

Yeah mate you have to check some songs from their last concert Five of a kind in Zepp Diversity Tokyo from this year like Thunder vengeance, Holly war, Rise some hell, Break the wall, Hammer of wrath even those 2 songs Shadowmaker and Signs of deliverance they perform in the concert. What can I say they sound better live than the studio. The Midori (with the blonde hair she influenced by the swedish guitarist Yngwe Malmsteen and also like Kiko Loureiro the new Megadeth guitarist) she is the aggressive guitarist in the band her solos is more aggressively and speedy on the other side Miyako the second lead guitarist she is influenced by Gary Moore, her solos are more melodic and a bit slow. She can play fast as well, but that combination is unbelievable. Also she is magnificent pianist. You should check also the songs with piano and keyboard like Swan song, Epilogue, Edge of the world, Liar ,Burden of time. Enjoy it and thanks for the reaction.
Until you do them LIVE you can't truly appreciate the insane talent of these women!!!! Scream for Me (ua-cam.com/video/9Og4gvSUmCo/v-deo.html) Raise Some Hell (ua-cam.com/video/Qm-3zhCFghg/v-deo.html) Empty Daydream (ua-cam.com/video/lXh_uMM94jU/v-deo.html) Miyako does a great piano intro before the band goes into the power ballad!!! Miyako writes a lot of the songs including the musical score for each. She was trained as a concert pianist from age 3 and didn't pick up the guitar till she was 18 but Mom exposed her to all kinds of metal music growing up and it shows, all members of the band play multiple instruments (that is why they are so insanely talented) this band is the real deal, again LIVE is the way to go !!!!

Great reaction bro! You need to check out some of their live stuff from their latest tour. Check out "Thunder Vengeance" from their Five of a Kind tour in Zepp Diver City Tokyo. It's a super thrashy Metallica-esk kind of song. Also "holy war" from the same concert is a must.
Oh yeah, Lovebites!! Always love their dual solos Have you heard of Wagakki band? I believe there are others who recommended this, still wondering if you would react to them. Oh there's also Unlucky Morpheus.
Haruna the energyzer bunny and miho the glue, after that you have a duo of the most powerfull guitars in metal , and they switch ,one ,two ,three times in sa song , and last but not least , asami vocals .no words .
You gotta do band maid - Reincarnation🤘🏻 or try some Aldious - we are🤘🏻maybe some yousei teikoku - astral dogma🤘🏻definitely some bridear - light in the dark🤘🏻 you’ll have fun with these guys🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Dude, seriously don't waste your time on MV and just watch them live! They are WAY better live. Just avoid bloodstock 2018 - very bad audio quality on this recording. But anything else is gold. Especially FIve of a kind (Tokyo Diver City 2020), Daughters of the dawn (Tokyo 2019) and latest studio live Awake Again 2020. If you want some recommendations then "Screem for me" is very fun song to listen, and has some sick solo battles :) "Under the red sky" is epic as hell. "Edge of the world" is some insane progressive ballad, "Thunder Vengeance", "Break the wall" and "The Hammer of Wrath" if you want some trash metal on the highest level. For some more calm experience i suggest "Epilogue", "Empty daydream" and "Liar". And for some more crazy ass power metal check out "Golden destination" and "Holly war". But honestly, they don't have a single bad song, everything is just awesome! :)
Hello. I've loved metal since I was 10 years old, but that wasn't enough to eat, so I was a Jazz pianist in my 20's. I'm a Jazz pianist in my twenties, and I rarely subscribe to your channel because I'm very annoyed by the pauses in your regular REACTION videos (especially when you make noise during the solo parts lol), but your analysis is even more detailed and brilliant than mine, so I had to subscribe to your channel. I learn a lot from you! (Sorry for the machine translation!
honestly bandmaid and SNSD are my life, but i love me some lovebites!!! you should do raise some hell, the crusade, and maybe some old school kpop like dbsk, shinee, snsd, fx, beast anyways love your reactions
Japan bands: BAND-MAID [All their songs... really!], LOVEBITES [Raise some Hell, and all the other songs], MAXIMUM THE HORMONE [Yoshu Fukushu], CROSSFAITH [Catastrophe], SiM [Killing Me], NINGEN ISU [Heartless Scat], UNLUCKY MORPHEUS [Black Pentagram], YOUSEI TEIKOKU [Astral Dogma], COLDRAIN [Die tomorrow], CRYSTAL LAKE [The Circle], GIVEN BY THE FLAMES [Ronove], ANGRY FROG REBIRTH [2Step Syndrome], SILENTLY SHOOTING TRAITORS [Manipulate], ALDIOUS [Dominator], BRIDEAR [Light in the Dark], CINQ ELEMENT [Destiny], MARY'S BLOOD [Marionette], DOLL$BOXX [Take my Chance] , SOKONINAR [Tenohira De Odoru], HELLO SLEEPWALKERS [Flying Saucer], TELECiDE [Tied up Memories], SPIRITBOX [Belcarra], NEKO [Ghost on a Record], ROTTENGRAFFTY [Hallelujah], DIR EN GREY [Ningen wo Kaburu], X JAPAN [Kurenai], DAZZLE VISION [Second], GALNERYUS [Angel of Salvation], and many more...
The lyrics are all or almost all written by the vocalist (Asami). About half of their music is written by the brunette guitarist with the Dean guitar (Miyako). Also the Bassist writes some songs (Miho) and also the drummer (Haruna) wrote a few. Midori( the blonde guitarist with the ESP guitar) wrote at least 2 songs ( Dancing with the devil and Glory to the world. They writes their own solos. Also they collaborate with Mao (a legendary keyboardist and composer) for some songs.
Bonjour, désolé je vais faire ce commentaire en français car je suis bien incapable de le faire en anglais. Merci d'avance aux courageux qui le liront ;-) D’abord merci pour cette réaction encore une fois très instructive toute en finesse et analyse. Quand je suis tombé sur Band-Maid en 2014 avec Thrill, je suis devenu fan de ce groupe. Je les ai un peu perdu de vue entre 2014 et 2018 puis je suis à nouveau retombé en amour de ce groupe. De fait c’est étonnant car à la base jusqu’à cette date le hard rock ou le métal, ce n’était que du bruit pour moi. Je n’ai jamais été fan de AC/DC, Metallica, Iron Maiden et tous ces groupes des années 80/90. Jusque là j’étais fan de Massive Attack, London Grammar, FKJ (ua-cam.com/video/xuc9C-C6Ldw/v-deo.html) ou encore Nora en Pure (ua-cam.com/video/Lwk8e2q4qHo/v-deo.html). Bref rien à voir. Et pourtant me voilà à 50 ans passés fan comme un gamin de BM et accessoirement il m’arrive d’écouter Lovebites, car même si le métal n’est pas ma tasse de thé (japonais), il faudrait être aveugle, sourd et idiot pour ne pas voir le talent éclatant de ces musiciennes. Et du coup je me suis plongé dans la scène musicale japonaise qui est un vrai trésor aussi bien en quantité, que qualité et diversité. Par exemple Nemophila (ua-cam.com/video/g7DLSCP0Ghg/v-deo.html) avec sa chanteuse extraordinaire et ces deux guitaristes virtuoses dont Saiki (ok là on va dire que la dame ne me laisse absolument pas de glace en plus d’être considéré comme la meilleure guitariste féminine au Japon). Par exemple Polkadot Stingray dans le genre pop/rock/funk (ua-cam.com/video/U609b7lOAII/v-deo.html), de la musique cool à écouter tranquillement le soir… Par exemple Glim Spanky (rock style années 70) et la superbe voix de sa chanteuse (ua-cam.com/video/nqdgInoS-zo/v-deo.html). Tout simplement sublime. Par exemple Sokoninaru (ua-cam.com/video/Xl3GBlbCo44/v-deo.html), Brats (ua-cam.com/video/bcmuJ6piEqg/v-deo.html), Rei (ua-cam.com/video/n7_u6WGYr1Q/v-deo.html), sans parler de LiSA (ua-cam.com/video/4DxL6IKmXx4/v-deo.html) qui cartonne au Japon et en streaming…. Il y en a tellement. Je vous invite à être curieux et à faire vos propres recherches. Quand on entend ce qu’on entend comme musique en Europe et au US, il y a quoi pleurer de désespoir en ces temps de confinement et de COVID. Si vous êtes intéressé, je vous laisse ce lien vers un forum de guitariste en français. C’est une mine de liens vers des groupes japonais : www.guitariste.com/forums/groupe-artiste,le-rock-japonais-feminin-essentiellement,510679.html Have fun. Merci encore.
Lovebites mainly play power metal and thrash metal. But also speed metal, hard rock and metal ballads. Watch (as a comparison to your video) the live version of "When Destinies Align". The solos and duos of Midori and Miyako are irresistible : ua-cam.com/video/OZ10ZnbEVL4/v-deo.html
I like Lovebites, Band-Maid (especially Band-Maid), Nemophila, Aldious and other Japanese rock and metal bands, and your analyses are always very fun to watch. Hope they won't cause you too much trouble. Keep up the good work :) BTW, take a look at Fuki, she's awesome. Fits your metal program well.
You do you. When a person knows music like yourself and you make clear specific stops in the song to inform people like me they don't know nothing about music, well, just do it. (looks like all the musical talent in my family's blood line ended with my father, lol). I can always go to their UA-cam page if I want to hear and their songs and interrupted so do what you have to do and tell the haters to buzz off
While I am not a fan of this band (question of personal taste) I am still very impressed by their skill and talents. This is a phenomenal band by any standards....those two lead guitarists just blow my sock off. Their singer is amazing and the drummer is a drums worst nightmare. However, their music just does not click with my soul (it is an amazing song none the less) ...I still remain impressed and if they did a show locally I would definitely attend it.....
PageMonster I'm afraid not....I've known this band for about 4 years and seen most of their MV...the chemistry is just not there for me...However, I acknowledge that they are a very good band but I don't consider myself to be a fan....I enjoy their music when it pops up on a playlist but not much more....
Cepho yes I agree...and like I said in my original comment...if they play a concert locally I would probably be there enjoying their talent! I like their sound but its just does not quite sync with me....I don't hate them or their music..
7:43 The expressions "jaw-dropping" and "face-melting" deserve refurbished definitions, I suppose. 😂😂 That is what I call "Lovebites experience face". 😂 Reacting to such songs brings even ambitious and experienced music specialists to their limits. I mean, how are you supposed to react to any song that explodes into a firework of creativity at top speed? 😂 And of course I just love all passages where Haruna beats the crap out of her drumset, meaning, most of any high speed songs. 😂

Ģreat reaction. Have to watch em right away if they get blocked
No please do analyze, me personally like to watch reaction video cos i wanna hear/see you reacted to the song i like.. if i wanna hear them like really hear them i can just go to my music library i got them album.. and also with lovebites and some jmetal band you need to pause and talk in between otherwise you got block, and i dont want to see people react to the band that i love got bloc by yt. ,🤘🤘 Keep going bro, you do what you do. Its your video and your reaction
Love the way you take the time to break this down. That last two parts of the solo where you think it is going back to the chorus but extends to another solo is a lot of what Ritchie Blackmore would do on something like A Light in the Black. Definitely a double (triple? quadruple?) crescendo. Really effective. This song was music by Miyako, lyrics by Asami, arrangement Lovebites (each arranging their own part) and final arrangement Miyako. Miho contributes a some music and lyrics to songs, too. Mao is their programmer and does some keyboards writing some of the music. Asami can also write music. Just a multi-talented band. Check out Miyako's new axe. It is a Dean V-series Signature Guitar. Showing off her new baby with a demonstration in English. ua-cam.com/video/18PdNPwyCiQ/v-deo.html For some fun here is DragonForce with Midori and Miyako and Farming Simulator. ua-cam.com/video/KnGPZxfOAmg/v-deo.html
The keys you hear are Midori (the one that plays the Dean guitars; she's featured exclusive artist of theirs; they just sent her a guitar she designed). She is a classically trained pianist as well; to the point where she plays both on the same song, live. She's heavily influenced by Gary Moore and Dimebag Darrell. Miyako (the blonde) is exclusive to ESP. She's heavily influenced by Yngwie Malmsteen (he's HUGE in Japan, along with Marty Friedman). As you can tell with Asami, she's got pipes, but she used to be an R&B singer. But with her voice, she can easily challenge and outpace Bruce Dickinson. Obviously, all of them are influenced by Iron Maiden. However, you're only seeing one side of them. You need to see them live, as they bring in influences of Anthrax and Slayer. React to "Thunder Vengeance" and "Holy War" from their live show Five Of a Kind, at Zepp Diver, Tokyo. After that, you need to react to their song "Hammer of Wrath" from any show that is *NOT* Bloodstock or Grasspop (the sound engineer at those shows needs to get an Acme anvil dropped on their head, the mix is that bad) You will thank us later.
YES!!!! please more Love bites BTW my 13 year old daughter hates you ,lol because of you I've been on dreamcatcher videos so much,all because of that photo you have behind you,lol thanks bro your reactions are so cool ,specially when dreamcatcher is in the house.
They are, to me at least, the best band currently. The sheer talent is unbelievable. You have not yet seen their epicness. They are all multi-instrumentalist. Miyako (Dean - right, also a classical pianist) wrote half of their songs, while the other half is done by everyone else. Asami - singer wrote most of the lyrics, though they all have done it. Basically, Shadowmaker, When Destinies Align and Rising are M/V introduction to them. They cool though, but you really have to watch their live performances, Zepp or Five of a Kind and be awed. I recommend Epilogue one of the best ever ballads (Miyako plays acoustic guitar then switches between piano and electric guitar), Swan Song, Edge of the World, Thunder Vengeance (awesome stage opening), Signs of Deliverance (dual guitar overhand tapping on catwalk anyone?) and so on. There isn't a single song from their three albums that is bad, meh or even "its alright". They are darn good. Watched their Live Stream and Miyako playing guitar and keyboards at the same time. That always puts a smile on my usually grumpy cat face :D
I've noticed a few people saying Miyako and Midori write their own solos, but it is not that simple. It varies from song to song. Early on Miyako did almost all of the music composition, including solos, while Miho (bass) and Asami (vocals) would write the lyrics. A quote from Miyako, "For the songs that I wrote, I make a demo with all the parts arranged and have the other members copy their parts. Then other members may arrange their parts differently, but generally not too far off from the original demo. We have a sixth member of the band called Mao. He composes with us and co-arranges with members or by himself." Midori did most of the songwriting for "Dancing with the Devil" from their newest studio album Electric Pentagram, but other than that most of the guitar music has been written by Miyako, Miho, and Mao. Not trying to take anything away from Midori as she is extremely talented, but this is just what I've learned from reading/hearing various interviews with various members of the band.
Hell Yeah! Another great reaction! :P I am certain they write their own solos. I fucking love Miyako though (dark haired guitarist), she has some other projects and has been playing the piano since she started walking (just about). She has a youtube channel, here it is: ua-cam.com/users/miya7godeath Thanks for this one, gotta love 'em!
Champ, watch their live ones. MV's are tame. Also, DO NOT watch the "BLOODSTOCK" live ones. The audios are god awful and do not do the girls justice. They are very bad clips. Watch any LIVE from their Zepp DiverCity 2020 concert. Oh, and yes, they do write almost all their songs.
There is a differences in the style of play between Miyako (the super hot one😍) And Midori. You can tell with their other songs, which Miyako writes most them. You to hear Miyako play the piano she is so talented as a musician.

From a football fan point of view, it's like CR7 n Messi playing in the same team..
Midori howls and crys, Myako sings and weeps, hence rich sound.
the stunned look on your face after about halfway through the solo is priceless.never seen anything like these 2. and your self described 'hot one' writes most of the music. that's miyako. and midori the blonde writes her solos as far as i know
Took him about a minute to reboot.
We love Miyako, she is a metal princess
Bro, since I was introduced to them by your reaction to Shadowmaker I have become OBSESSED with them!! You definitely have to see their lives, they are another level of talent!! Edge of the World, Liar, Swan Song, Holy War, Epilogue and Empty Daydream are VERY highly recommend bro!!! Thanks for initially introducing me to this band, much appreciation!!
見つけましたね♪😁
この方達のLive version reactionよろしくお願い致します🥺
we the United 、swan song、MDOその他色々please
いつも日本語ですみません😅
またBANDMAIDの方もお願い🥺❤️
LOVEBITES / Holy War(Official live MV)
This song has a double sweep picking solo.
The official live MV also has good video and sound, so it is recommended for watching your first LOVEBITES Live.
"Thunder Vengeance," "Raise Some Hell" or "Holy War" are online from a live performance. They are awesome. "Raise Some Hell" is great because they move all around the stage and seem to lighten up a lot and have some fun. Great reaction video.
With lovebites you should really check their live performances:
- "Holy War" and "Thunder Vengeance" should be a good start
Another Japanese band you should check is Unlucky Morpheus:
Black Pentagram
Cadaver / Revadac
Again, another amazing live band.
They are independent so you shouldnt have any copyright issues.
"Raise Some Hell" (Five of a Kind - which is their live DVD from the Zepp Diversity Tokyo concert in early 2020) is also a good one. Awesome stage performance.
Yes, def chk out their live performance. They even sound better on stage and the solo’s are even kore riveting
check them out live Liar (live studio), Empty daydream, Thunder vengeance they are so good live and Miyako is the one in the black hair
Hey, nice reaction. Although they are known for power metal, Lovebites songs go from Heavy rock, thrash metal, power metal, ballads, with this much talent they play a wide variety of styles.
Miyako (black hair guitar) tends to go for a more melodic approach on her soloing i feel while Midori (blond hair guitar) loves to shred and so her solos are usually faster and more aggressive.
Just like Band Maid, if you aren't watching them Live you are missing out! Amazing Live band. (just avoid Bloodstock videos, bad audio mix on that show)
Try Break The Wall, Hammer of Wrath, Holy War, Swan Song, all Live, from their Five of a Kind show. Stay safe!
These women aren't just power metal monsters, wait until you soak in a couple of their ballads.
They are virtuosos.
Very good deep analisys of their music, their skills, sync etc. They are really pure talented but live they are more than the best. Thanks.
You putting off lovebites for a few months was a blessing in disguise. A lot of their pro shot live performances should be available. Also I don’t know the timing since I’m crazy excited about bandmaid’s next single being an anime opening, but lovebites will have one of their songs be an anime opening soon as well! Super excited just to see power metal open an anime!
I am impressed with your detailed breakdown of solos. Thumbs up! You gotta do Live versions of Holy War/Empty Daydream/Swan Song. Also, please do music video version of Rising. The best dual solo from Midori and Miyako. Keep up the good work, bro!!!
Yes, Miyako and Midori write their own solos' parts with their own styles and their own picking approaches, then they harmonize for the duelings (lots of work to be in the same tempo at this level !)
And You're right, YOU HAVE TO CHECK THIS SONG LIVE (Tokyo 2020) !!
Time to check their live, LOVEBITES - Hoy War (live)
you will like it
I've been fortunate4 enough to be able to land their live DVD "Five of a Kind".. That is one hell of a live gig. I think much of their lilve material here in YT is from that show. A couple from the live shows to check out for future reference would be "Thunder Vengeance" (the show opener), "Raise Some Hell" and for laughs I'd look at this one and "Shadowmaker" for a point of reference. Miyako (the dark haired guitar goddess) is the lady who also dabbles on the keys.. and when I say dabble I really mean virtuoso.
Japanese All female Rock and Metal Bands , that is a gloriously long list my friend , though Lovebites do stand out even if they are shorter physically LOL.
Tiny Haruna. She may of been bullied at school by Ant man's little sister, but put her behind a drum kit & she becomes a Titan :)
With lightening bolts for feet!
he's baaaaaack!
@@thedocofrock1890 What could I do Doc. Who'd have known LOVEBITES were coming up so soon. Lol :)
@@GaryHolloway-810 'How soon is now' is my favorite 'the Smiths' song..... True Story..... Just a Normal Humanoid's story.....
@@crabuki1273 Did Thor give her those?
Great reaction, next time check their live performance from Five Of A Kind concert. Songs: Holy War, Edge Of The World, Shadowmaker.
*The black haired guitarist also play piano in the live concert.
Great vocals, fantastic guitars and bass, and HARUNA!!! HARUNA!!! HARUNA!!!
This song was written by Miyako(dark haired guitarist) I believe, with lyrics by Asami(singer). Miho(Bass) also writes some of their stuff.
Unusually for a Japanese band, virtually all lyrics are in English.
I would suggest trying:
Don't Bite The Dust
Golden Destination - Saw them live last year and although it's to fast to tell I like to think I appear in their music video outside the venue waiting to get in :)
Break The Wall
The Crusade
Journey To The Otherside - I heard Miho wrote this about her father. The live video brings a tear to the eye.
Miyako is a genius! Yupp...that's a fact! She writes most of their stuff!
Great analysis sir. Thanks for this time, I've enjoyed.
You HAVE TO check "Edge of the world" from Zepp Divercity/five of a kind concert. That is well composed masterpiece :)
Good to find someone who intelligently breaks down the song and waits for the solo or verse to complete before doing so. There are way too many like and subscribe head nodders out there unfortunately.
With Lovebites almost all their songs are in English. The only songs in Japanese are from their first EP.
All the songs from their three full length albums are in English.
Edit* Miyako the guitarist with the Dean guitar wrote the whole song. I don't know if Midori the other guitar player with the white ESP wrote her solo or not.
Haven't listened to them for long but I live this band and I'm pretty sure all their songs are in English
More of them, pretty much stick to live performances as they are masterful;

Now that Champ has checked my favorite Lovebites' Tune off Le List, i'll request 3YE - Queen
Excellent reaction! I don't have any insight, but it would be my guess that Midori and Miyako write their solo parts together as a team. It's the only way they could pull off what they do. Miyako (the dark haired one) was classically trained as a pianist from a very early age (as you'll no doubt discover in subsequent reactions). She has a very unique shredding style that always intrigues me. She approaches the fretboard at an angle all the way up the neck, and she tends to favor her middle finger for deep bends. Midori's style is more classic "shredder" as she rotates her hand perpendicular to the neck as she goes up and bends with her ring finger. Not being a pianist myself, I wonder if Miyako's approach comes from her piano technique. Ever have a pretty girl give you a sultry look while performing arpeggio sweeps? LOL
Hey Ron, I love Miyako's technique, looks very effortless and relaxed, i would love to play like that!
She certainly blows me out of the water! It definitely works for her!
I'd bet it comes from years of piano playing, you build a lot of strength in your wrists and fingers, also the the use of all ten fingers independently playing at the same time. Listen to Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata 3rd movement (ua-cam.com/video/BV7RkEL6oRc/v-deo.html) as a good example of the dexterity needed for a top level classical pianist and compare that with top guitar playing.
Sometimes Miyako channels an inner Ritchie Blackmore with her vibe.
Here are their names just so you can get more affiliated with them:
Singer: Asami
Drums: Haruna
Guitarist: Midori (blonde)
Guitarist: Miyako (brunette)
Bassist: Miho
Actualy they are all brunette....
I'm so glad you back again to reaction for Lovebites. I'm so impressed with your first reaction to Lovebites. What a great reaction. Thank you so much.
Lovebites have many shredtastic fantastic song. But some song maybe get blocked.
Hope you still want reaction to Lovebites.
Next song try reaction to live performance of them.
The song called "Holy war" from they live concert.
This is a link : ua-cam.com/video/bgAxpEpEcno/v-deo.html
I thing this not get blocked. Hope you check out and can enjoy it too. Once again. Big thanks🙏
Lol that melting face.. I'll keep saying this, Miyako is so sexy on guitars! /,,/ Hey bro how about reacting to alternative idols like Broken by the Scream and PassCode!
oh. my. G@D. the back/forth and dual solos melted my fricken brain.
aaaaand then they went and did the dual outro solo.......
They do that in many of their songs.
Have you heard band Unlucky Morpheus? if not, you should check Black Pentagram or Angreifer live performances first
Nah, I was supposed to watch them on a Livestream but it got blocked before I got to them... I had a lot of requests tho... maybe I'll jump into them...
Ah, I was thinking of recommending, you beat me to it. 😂😂
I recommend also. And « cadaver / redevac » is a great track too.
@@anwn5388 I second that. Amazing.
for the big structure of their music...i guess maybe you can check their "holy war" or "swan song" in live version
these ladies just so freakin' amazing \m/
YES! More of the goddess’s of power metal Love Bites please. I just love the look on your face during the solos pure gold. Lol keep up the great work Champ. If you’re looking for more J rock you can try Doll$box “take my chance “ Garchirc spin “lock on” or Redline” good place to start or you can do more Scandal like maybe “Masterpiece” or an older one like “Doll” just a few ideas 🤗 Have a great day champ.
Lovebites fan here. As others have already said: check out their live performances. Many vids are available from their DVD concert Five of a Kind - Live at Zepp Divercity ~Tokyo 2020
FYI: all their mixing and mastering is done by Finnish engineers Mikko Karmila and Mika Jussila at Finnvox Studios
I’ve been waiting to hear your reaction to this song, awesome 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 more lovebites and more band-maid
I’m not sure of this song but I read their interview in Japanese that Miyako (right side with Dean guitar) writes songs and also solos for both with considering Midori(left side)’ s playing style.
Musically Miyako has got classical music background since very young and only started playing guitar after 18 years old.
So there are some heavy classical music influenced songs, such as Swan Song, Above the Black Sea or Under the Red Sky.
Awesome! More plz. 🖤🐺🤘
Great analisys!!! You need to see them live !!!
Thank you for react to my favorite band!
See you next! Subscribed!
It's your input we come for, the song can be watched without reactors if you 're annoyed by pauses ;-) And i HATE when reactors talk over the songs...
全員女性の日本のメタルバンドだとNEMOPHILAも良いよ＼(^o^)／
For an all-female Japanese metal band, NEMOPHILA is also good.

Yeah mate you have to check some songs from their last concert Five of a kind in Zepp Diversity Tokyo from this year like Thunder vengeance, Holly war, Rise some hell, Break the wall, Hammer of wrath even those 2 songs Shadowmaker and Signs of deliverance they perform in the concert. What can I say they sound better live than the studio. The Midori (with the blonde hair she influenced by the swedish guitarist Yngwe Malmsteen and also like Kiko Loureiro the new Megadeth guitarist) she is the aggressive guitarist in the band her solos is more aggressively and speedy on the other side Miyako the second lead guitarist she is influenced by Gary Moore, her solos are more melodic and a bit slow. She can play fast as well, but that combination is unbelievable. Also she is magnificent pianist. You should check also the songs with piano and keyboard like Swan song, Epilogue, Edge of the world, Liar ,Burden of time. Enjoy it and thanks for the reaction.
and now you ready for the awesomeness of Unlucky Morpheus
Until you do them LIVE you can't truly appreciate the insane talent of these women!!!!
Scream for Me (ua-cam.com/video/9Og4gvSUmCo/v-deo.html)
Raise Some Hell (ua-cam.com/video/Qm-3zhCFghg/v-deo.html)
Empty Daydream (ua-cam.com/video/lXh_uMM94jU/v-deo.html) Miyako does a great piano intro before the band goes into the power ballad!!! Miyako writes a lot of the songs including the musical score for each. She was trained as a concert pianist from age 3 and didn't pick up the guitar till she was 18 but Mom exposed her to all kinds of metal music growing up and it shows, all members of the band play multiple instruments (that is why they are so insanely talented) this band is the real deal, again LIVE is the way to go !!!!
Miho Miho Miho!
So, do you follow her on Instagram? She shows-off different Metal T-Shirts from her extensive collection, frequently ... fyi

I've used the "direct message" feature to communicate with some LOVEBITES members (Instagram) and LOVEBITES management (Twitter). When I go to Instagram, it shows me the pics/videos from those I 'follow', and that is Miho, Asami, Miyako, Midori, Harupi, and an 'old' musician/engineer/producer named Rick Beato.

Great reaction bro! You need to check out some of their live stuff from their latest tour. Check out "Thunder Vengeance" from their Five of a Kind tour in Zepp Diver City Tokyo. It's a super thrashy Metallica-esk kind of song. Also "holy war" from the same concert is a must.
The slow zoom in on your face was a nice touch 😯 Thanks for reacting to Lovebites again 👊
Thunder Vengeance (Live) and Holy War (Live) are awesome 😊
You're welcome 😉
Oh yeah, Lovebites!! Always love their dual solos
Have you heard of Wagakki band? I believe there are others who recommended this, still wondering if you would react to them.
Oh there's also Unlucky Morpheus.
Their latest live performance is even more amazing!!!!!!!
Haruna the energyzer bunny and miho the glue, after that you have a duo of the most powerfull guitars in metal , and they switch ,one ,two ,three times in sa song , and last but not least , asami vocals .no words .
Jaw-drop when the guitars start soloing together. Yep. I felt it the first time I heard that too.
Also: ua-cam.com/video/bMmkDttnR7k/v-deo.html
You gotta do band maid - Reincarnation🤘🏻 or try some Aldious - we are🤘🏻maybe some yousei teikoku - astral dogma🤘🏻definitely some bridear - light in the dark🤘🏻 you’ll have fun with these guys🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
A great review and and one of my big favorite songs. They are so talented.
In 2019 they toured UK with Dragonforce.
I saw them in London.
ASAMI ( Vocalist) WAVED AT ME & I HAVE IT RECORDED ON MY CHANNEL XD
Dude, seriously don't waste your time on MV and just watch them live! They are WAY better live. Just avoid bloodstock 2018 - very bad audio quality on this recording. But anything else is gold. Especially FIve of a kind (Tokyo Diver City 2020), Daughters of the dawn (Tokyo 2019) and latest studio live Awake Again 2020. If you want some recommendations then "Screem for me" is very fun song to listen, and has some sick solo battles :) "Under the red sky" is epic as hell. "Edge of the world" is some insane progressive ballad, "Thunder Vengeance", "Break the wall" and "The Hammer of Wrath" if you want some trash metal on the highest level. For some more calm experience i suggest "Epilogue", "Empty daydream" and "Liar". And for some more crazy ass power metal check out "Golden destination" and "Holly war". But honestly, they don't have a single bad song, everything is just awesome! :)
any time you hear piano or organ backing tracks, those come from Miyako the dark haired one playing a "Dean", she is also a world class pianist
Check out any live song from zepp diver city 2020. They are excellent!!!!
Hello. I've loved metal since I was 10 years old, but that wasn't enough to eat, so I was a Jazz pianist in my 20's. I'm a Jazz pianist in my twenties, and I rarely subscribe to your channel because I'm very annoyed by the pauses in your regular REACTION videos (especially when you make noise during the solo parts lol), but your analysis is even more detailed and brilliant than mine, so I had to subscribe to your channel. I learn a lot from you! (Sorry for the machine translation!
LOVEBITES ....LO MEJOR
honestly bandmaid and SNSD are my life, but i love me some lovebites!!!

The lyrics are all or almost all written by the vocalist (Asami). About half of their music is written by the brunette guitarist with the Dean guitar (Miyako). Also the Bassist writes some songs (Miho) and also the drummer (Haruna) wrote a few. Midori( the blonde guitarist with the ESP guitar) wrote at least 2 songs ( Dancing with the devil and Glory to the world. They writes their own solos. Also they collaborate with Mao (a legendary keyboardist and composer) for some songs.

you want more :)) LOVEBITES - Empty Daydream Live In Tokyo 2019 going to love it !!
Bonjour,
désolé je vais faire ce commentaire en français car je suis bien incapable de le faire en anglais. Merci d'avance aux courageux qui le liront ;-)
D’abord merci pour cette réaction encore une fois très instructive toute en finesse et analyse.
Quand je suis tombé sur Band-Maid en 2014 avec Thrill, je suis devenu fan de ce groupe. Je les ai un peu perdu de vue entre 2014 et 2018 puis je suis à nouveau retombé en amour de ce groupe.
De fait c’est étonnant car à la base jusqu’à cette date le hard rock ou le métal, ce n’était que du bruit pour moi. Je n’ai jamais été fan de AC/DC, Metallica, Iron Maiden et tous ces groupes des années 80/90. Jusque là j’étais fan de Massive Attack, London Grammar, FKJ (ua-cam.com/video/xuc9C-C6Ldw/v-deo.html) ou encore Nora en Pure (ua-cam.com/video/Lwk8e2q4qHo/v-deo.html). Bref rien à voir.
Et pourtant me voilà à 50 ans passés fan comme un gamin de BM et accessoirement il m’arrive d’écouter Lovebites, car même si le métal n’est pas ma tasse de thé (japonais), il faudrait être aveugle, sourd et idiot pour ne pas voir le talent éclatant de ces musiciennes. Et du coup je me suis plongé dans la scène musicale japonaise qui est un vrai trésor aussi bien en quantité, que qualité et diversité.
Par exemple Nemophila (ua-cam.com/video/g7DLSCP0Ghg/v-deo.html) avec sa chanteuse extraordinaire et ces deux guitaristes virtuoses dont Saiki (ok là on va dire que la dame ne me laisse absolument pas de glace en plus d’être considéré comme la meilleure guitariste féminine au Japon).
Par exemple Polkadot Stingray dans le genre pop/rock/funk (ua-cam.com/video/U609b7lOAII/v-deo.html), de la musique cool à écouter tranquillement le soir…
Par exemple Glim Spanky (rock style années 70) et la superbe voix de sa chanteuse (ua-cam.com/video/nqdgInoS-zo/v-deo.html). Tout simplement sublime.
Par exemple Sokoninaru (ua-cam.com/video/Xl3GBlbCo44/v-deo.html), Brats (ua-cam.com/video/bcmuJ6piEqg/v-deo.html), Rei (ua-cam.com/video/n7_u6WGYr1Q/v-deo.html), sans parler de LiSA (ua-cam.com/video/4DxL6IKmXx4/v-deo.html) qui cartonne au Japon et en streaming…. Il y en a tellement. Je vous invite à être curieux et à faire vos propres recherches. Quand on entend ce qu’on entend comme musique en Europe et au US, il y a quoi pleurer de désespoir en ces temps de confinement et de COVID.
Si vous êtes intéressé, je vous laisse ce lien vers un forum de guitariste en français. C’est une mine de liens vers des groupes japonais : www.guitariste.com/forums/groupe-artiste,le-rock-japonais-feminin-essentiellement,510679.html
Have fun.
Merci encore.
Lovebites mainly play power metal and thrash metal. But also speed metal, hard rock and metal ballads. Watch (as a comparison to your video) the live version of "When Destinies Align".
The solos and duos of Midori and Miyako are irresistible : ua-cam.com/video/OZ10ZnbEVL4/v-deo.html
I like Lovebites, Band-Maid (especially Band-Maid), Nemophila, Aldious and other Japanese rock and metal bands, and your analyses are always very fun to watch. Hope they won't cause you too much trouble. Keep up the good work :) BTW, take a look at Fuki, she's awesome. Fits your metal program well.
You do you. When a person knows music like yourself and you make clear specific stops in the song to inform people like me they don't know nothing about music, well, just do it. (looks like all the musical talent in my family's blood line ended with my father, lol). I can always go to their UA-cam page if I want to hear and their songs and interrupted so do what you have to do and tell the haters to buzz off
While I am not a fan of this band (question of personal taste) I am still very impressed by their skill and talents. This is a phenomenal band by any standards....those two lead guitarists just blow my sock off. Their singer is amazing and the drummer is a drums worst nightmare. However, their music just does not click with my soul (it is an amazing song none the less) ...I still remain impressed and if they did a show locally I would definitely attend it.....
They have such a wide variety of songs that you wouldn't find it hard to find a song you like.
PageMonster I'm afraid not....I've known this band for about 4 years and seen most of their MV...the chemistry is just not there for me...However, I acknowledge that they are a very good band but I don't consider myself to be a fan....I enjoy their music when it pops up on a playlist but not much more....
@@fernandonovo6149 Their MVs are good, but they are even better and very entertaining to watch live.
Cepho yes I agree...and like I said in my original comment...if they play a concert locally I would probably be there enjoying their talent! I like their sound but its just does not quite sync with me....I don't hate them or their music..
@@fernandonovo6149 That is fair. Everyone has different preferences.
Myako is the mastermind behind most of their lyrics as solo play.
You should check them out live "Holy War" 🤟
7:43 The expressions "jaw-dropping" and "face-melting" deserve refurbished definitions, I suppose. 😂😂 That is what I call "Lovebites experience face". 😂
Reacting to such songs brings even ambitious and experienced music specialists to their limits. I mean, how are you supposed to react to any song that explodes into a firework of creativity at top speed? 😂
And of course I just love all passages where Haruna beats the crap out of her drumset, meaning, most of any high speed songs. 😂
Ģreat reaction. Have to watch em right away if they get blocked
No please do analyze, me personally like to watch reaction video cos i wanna hear/see you reacted to the song i like.. if i wanna hear them like really hear them i can just go to my music library i got them album.. and also with lovebites and some jmetal band you need to pause and talk in between otherwise you got block, and i dont want to see people react to the band that i love got bloc by yt. ,🤘🤘 Keep going bro, you do what you do. Its your video and your reaction
Love the way you take the time to break this down.
That last two parts of the solo where you think it is going back to the chorus but extends to another solo is a lot of what Ritchie Blackmore would do on something like A Light in the Black. Definitely a double (triple? quadruple?) crescendo. Really effective.
This song was music by Miyako, lyrics by Asami, arrangement Lovebites (each arranging their own part) and final arrangement Miyako. Miho contributes a some music and lyrics to songs, too. Mao is their programmer and does some keyboards writing some of the music. Asami can also write music. Just a multi-talented band.
Check out Miyako's new axe. It is a Dean V-series Signature Guitar. Showing off her new baby with a demonstration in English. ua-cam.com/video/18PdNPwyCiQ/v-deo.html
For some fun here is DragonForce with Midori and Miyako and Farming Simulator. ua-cam.com/video/KnGPZxfOAmg/v-deo.html

Lovebites Pure Awesome!!!! I love Lovebites!!!
#MusicJapanForever
The keys you hear are Midori (the one that plays the Dean guitars; she's featured exclusive artist of theirs; they just sent her a guitar she designed). She is a classically trained pianist as well; to the point where she plays both on the same song, live. She's heavily influenced by Gary Moore and Dimebag Darrell.
Miyako (the blonde) is exclusive to ESP. She's heavily influenced by Yngwie Malmsteen (he's HUGE in Japan, along with Marty Friedman).
As you can tell with Asami, she's got pipes, but she used to be an R&B singer. But with her voice, she can easily challenge and outpace Bruce Dickinson. Obviously, all of them are influenced by Iron Maiden.
However, you're only seeing one side of them. You need to see them live, as they bring in influences of Anthrax and Slayer. React to "Thunder Vengeance" and "Holy War" from their live show Five Of a Kind, at Zepp Diver, Tokyo. After that, you need to react to their song "Hammer of Wrath" from any show that is *NOT* Bloodstock or Grasspop (the sound engineer at those shows needs to get an Acme anvil dropped on their head, the mix is that bad)
You will thank us later.
pleaseee you should check out Lovebites LIAR the studio version (uploaded by "Asia Metalfan"). No words...
YES!!!! please more Love bites
BTW my 13 year old daughter hates you ,lol because of you I've been on dreamcatcher videos so much,all because of that photo you have behind you,lol thanks bro your reactions are so cool ,specially when dreamcatcher is in the house.
She'll learn lol
Welcome to Haruna
This work of art has a live version ... which surpasses the video!?!? React !! 🤘🏾🤘🏾
They are, to me at least, the best band currently. The sheer talent is unbelievable. You have not yet seen their epicness. They are all multi-instrumentalist.
Miyako (Dean - right, also a classical pianist) wrote half of their songs, while the other half is done by everyone else. Asami - singer wrote most of the lyrics, though they all have done it.
Basically, Shadowmaker, When Destinies Align and Rising are M/V introduction to them. They cool though, but you really have to watch their live performances, Zepp or Five of a Kind and be awed.
I recommend Epilogue one of the best ever ballads (Miyako plays acoustic guitar then switches between piano and electric guitar), Swan Song, Edge of the World, Thunder Vengeance (awesome stage opening), Signs of Deliverance (dual guitar overhand tapping on catwalk anyone?) and so on. There isn't a single song from their three albums that is bad, meh or even "its alright". They are darn good. Watched their Live Stream and Miyako playing guitar and keyboards at the same time. That always puts a smile on my usually grumpy cat face :D
You have to Check out "Dont Bite The Dust".
Vocals alone worth the reaction
《swan song》live please!
There is video of them doing this song live. Sounds the same.
I've noticed a few people saying Miyako and Midori write their own solos, but it is not that simple. It varies from song to song. Early on Miyako did almost all of the music composition, including solos, while Miho (bass) and Asami (vocals) would write the lyrics. A quote from Miyako, "For the songs that I wrote, I make a demo with all the parts arranged and have the other members copy their parts. Then other members may arrange their parts differently, but generally not too far off from the original demo. We have a sixth member of the band called Mao. He composes with us and co-arranges with members or by himself." Midori did most of the songwriting for "Dancing with the Devil" from their newest studio album Electric Pentagram, but other than that most of the guitar music has been written by Miyako, Miho, and Mao. Not trying to take anything away from Midori as she is extremely talented, but this is just what I've learned from reading/hearing various interviews with various members of the band.
"The really hot one with brown hair" writes most of the music, including the solos.
Hell Yeah! Another great reaction! :P I am certain they write their own solos. I fucking love Miyako though (dark haired guitarist), she has some other projects and has been playing the piano since she started walking (just about). She has a youtube channel, here it is:

Thanks for this one, gotta love 'em!
Thunder Vengeance LIVE!!!
Champ, watch their live ones. MV's are tame. Also, DO NOT watch the "BLOODSTOCK" live ones. The audios are god awful and do not do the girls justice. They are very bad clips.
Watch any LIVE from their Zepp DiverCity 2020 concert. Oh, and yes, they do write almost all their songs.
Nice reactions.....if u wanna see some Sick Guitars Battles u should reacts to their song Scream For Me...epic guitar battles....LoVe these Girls....
There is a differences in the style of play between Miyako (the super hot one😍) And Midori. You can tell with their other songs, which Miyako writes most them. You to hear Miyako play the piano she is so talented as a musician.
