First, a little context. Every member is an outstanding musician. All the girls are multi-instrumentalists. Bass (Miho) and Drums (Haruna) come from the legendary all-female metal band Destrose. They were actually awesome. Check them out. The girl on right on Dean guitar (Miyako) - we are not worthy - no, really. She will probably put over 90% of any hard rock and metal players to shame - she will outclass them. She is a classically trained concert level pianist (for real) with University BA degree in Music (26 years piano). Guitar is her 2nd instrument; she can play bass and drums, too. She picked up guitar at 18 years. She composes over 50% of their songs. Midori on ESP guitar (on left) picked up guitar at 20 years old - she went to ESP Guitar School). Before that, she used to play piano. Asami (vocal) used to learn ballet and sing R&B. She can also play piano. She went to high school in Hawaii on an exchange program for a year. She writes most of their lyrics. All their songs are in English.
Bro, watch them live at Zepp Diver City Tokyo 2020 for more crazy solo's and shreeedddd.....songs Raise Some Hell, Break The Wall, Holy War, The Hammer Of Wrath, and their latest MV Glory To The World and Winds Of Transylvania.... :)
Don't forget to BREATHE ! All LOVEBITES mixed by Mikko Karmila and mastered by Mika Jussila, who have worked with acts like Nightwish, Children of Bodom, and Stratovarius, at Finnvox Studios in Helsinki, Finland.
@@cudahitz I'm glad you "caught your breath" after your first (of many?) LOVEBITES' breath-taking performances! For me, it is their lyrics that take them from 'a great band' to 'a meaningful experience', so, to understand that, I encourage experiencing "Rising" from the LIVE list I provided... which will also get me to sub your channel!
There's a reason why Mikko and Mika are involved. LoveBites is currently the only Japanese band signed to a western-world label: Nuclear Blast Records, which is the same label that Nightwish, Sabaton, Jinjer, Children of Bodom, and Stratovarius are on.
@@athlonen Odd. I just went to Nuclear Blast website and they don't list LOVEBITES with their "Bands" list and when I searched it showed (1) "upcoming release" with no name and no picture and no information, though I have seen, I think, a LOVEBITES music video or song on u2b associated with Nuclear Blast (because I find associating the name with Japan a bit uncomfortable, yet LOVEBITES has the most legit 'claim' to such an association, from an historical perspective.) I certainly admire LOVEBITES attitude in their songs "The Apocalypse" and "Under The Red Sky". I'm gonna see if NB Records has a 'channel'... Also, Wikipedia does not list NB as an associated label, but Wiki has gone downhill for years now...

Finally you check out Lovebites. Welcome to the world of Lovebites. The best one metal band right now on the earth. All the musicians on this band is insane and world class talent. Not a gimmick or fake. They like the Goddesses. What a great reaction by the way Next song from them, try from they live concert.. The song is "Break the wall" or "Raise some hell" Thank for your great reaction to Lovebites.
I am so glad you chose to do Lovebites, they are an amazing band and deserve much more recognition because their skills and talent are equal to anybody's. Please do more of them, you will enjoy it. For your next Lovebites reaction, please do a live song where they really shine, like "Holy War" ua-cam.com/video/bgAxpEpEcno/v-deo.html
The only reason I would say they don't get mainstream recognition is because their music is meant to be complicated, ambiguous, melodic and you need to listen to it multiple times to dissect it. In other words, it took a ton of effort to make compared to most garbage on the radio that all sounds the same
They are the best but live they are more than the best for example "Holy War" live Zepp divercity Tokyo 2020. Lovebites the team of five thrashpower metal godesses.

Well to really appreciate the insane talent of this band you must experience them LIVE, they play in high heels and white dresses as they are all petite and want to be seen on stage. Once they start playing a 2 hour concert they turn into Metal Goddesses. This band was the 1st all female metal band from Japan to play Wacken Open Air and Bloodstock festivals in Europe (2018) and best new metal band (2018). They blend all the glory of 80's metal with their own sound and some of the old masters to create a unique experience for their Wolf-Pack followers and anyone who appreciates FLAWLESS PERFECTION in their music. Try these next: Scream for Me LIVE (ua-cam.com/video/acwkphgzNg8/v-deo.html) A guitar clinic by Midori/Blond/ESP and Miyako/Black/Dean Holy War LIVE (ua-cam.com/video/bgAxpEpEcno/v-deo.html) Swan Song with piano intro (ua-cam.com/video/n1BiurShqBM/v-deo.html) Miyako's classical piano skills and then the transitions start which are awesome.
Good Reaction❤️❤️❤️ Next songs Raise Some Hell, Hammer Of Wrath, Break The Wall, Scream For Me, watch their crazy solos'♪♪♪[Live at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020]
Welcome to the wolfpack! The princesses from Japan always bring the THUNDER! You ain't seen sh1t yet! This is just a taste of what they can do! LOVEBITES is #1! \m/
Welcome to the Wolf Pack. This is a rare band who plays better in live than studio recording. Try the albums, Five of a Kind at Zepp Diver City Tokyo 2020, or Daughters of the Dawn 2019, or studio live Awakening Again from the Abyss. Don't try Bloodstock Open Air, the recording is just poor. You'll receive tons of request, take any of them. They are all good. There is no fillers for Lovebites. But one thing, in the case of Swan Song, you've got to play it with the preceding truck which is Chopin Revolutionary Etude, they are one set, a suite. You'll know the reason when you watch the clip. Edge of the World and We the united are the last two songs of the 2 hour live Five of a Kind at Zepp 2020. Those two pieces a kind of connected. You can see the grand finare.
wrong wrong and absolutely double-time wrong everyone keeps making this point and it is so untrue to the fact, it doesn't matter whether it is an MV, an audio track, or live they stay true to their form an overall outstanding band
@@salsaucedo Well, with my preference yes. You may have your own preference that is totally alright with me. I don't deny your opinion. Let me tell you how I feel about MVs. MVs have more back trucks and retouched, and I feel that is a little artificial to me. I'm not so naive that I deny retouch and back truck at all. The balance is difficult and I feel more comfortable with their lives. My preference may be different from yours but that the way I am.
I think the premise to "LIVE is better" comes from people not being accustomed to any band that can perform so flawlessly in a LIVE setting. I also prefer the 'mix' with the guitars distinctly panned left & right and the minimal 'enhancements', the RAW energy and WATCHING them, as individuals and their unity as a group, the ensemble nature of their presentation. The songs are fantastic, and honestly, I am just becoming familiar with the CDs as I only recently got them while having gotten the Blu-rays & DVDs months ago, even listening to the LIVE audio in my car. There are numerous songs not yet available LIVE, so I am becoming familiar with them now. The new song "Paranoia" 'triggered' that interest. LOVEBITES is quite prolific making it a 'full time' pleasure to 'get acquainted' with all their material. As "CudaHitz" commented, it takes several listens to absorb all that happens in just one song...

Best power metal band in 30 + years. Hell, best metal band period in 30+ years. I have everything they've released. ALL GLORY to LOVEBITES and all my brothers and sisters in The Wolf Pack everywhere, WE ARE UNITED forever under their command. Proud member of the Wolf Pack since 2017!
Yes, another one bitten. Other reviewers have described them as alien superheroes disguised as young women, angels sent to save us, princesses of metal, and angry bridesmaids. They have themselves said in interviews that part of their mission is to save heavy metal from darkness and obscurity. Some background: They were formed from the remnants of a legendary all-girl Japanese metal band called Destrose (yes, all-girl metal has been a thing in Japan since at least 1981). Miho (bass, chief metalhead and soul of the band) recruited her former bandmate Haruna (drums, 4'9" “pocket nuke”); they went and found the two guitarists, Midori and Miyako, who were with other bands, and the whole group then found Asami, the singer, who was doing soul and blues at the time. Miho and Miyako compose most of their music, in collaboration with Mao, the lead composer of another band called Lightbringer, but Midori has also been getting into the act. Asami writes a lot of the lyrics. They have only been around for just shy of 5 years. They studied all the great historical metal bands going back to Purple and Sabbath, through Maiden, Priest, Metallica, Slayer etc. and they pretty much aced it all. They toured with Dragonforce in 2019, and word from those in attendance is that next time around, it will be the ladies headlining. They have incorporated some of the best of each of those bands into their arsenal, and it seems clear they’re taking it to another level. You picked one of the best "starter" songs for reactors, and rightly so--you get a good sense of the band. They do everything from soulful power ballads to heavy thrash, and almost every song includes face-melting solos by Miyako and Midori. The two guitarists are quite different in style and tone. Midori (blonde ponytail) is the extrovert and speed demon; Miyako is the introvert, with the more soulful feel. Midori uses a cleaner tone, Miyako uses more distortion, pinch harmonics and pedal effects. The interplay makes their duets rich and dynamic. It doesn’t hurt that either one can 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.") Miyako is also a concert-level classical pianist, and some of their songs feature her on the piano. They are amazing live. You should next check out “Holy War” live: "Holy War" Dual shred harmonies: ua-cam.com/video/bgAxpEpEcno/v-deo.html If you want to see what they do with the piano, watch “Swan Song” WITH the prelude, which is Chopin’s “Revolutionary Etude” ua-cam.com/video/n1BiurShqBM/v-deo.html Miyako wrote “Swan Song” using elements from several classical pieces including the Etude. You'll get lots of suggestions, just one thing: don't bother with Bloodstock footage, the quality is poor. Best to take suggestions with actual links. Welcome to the Wolf-Pack!
They have toured with D Force and the the 2 guitarists Miyako and Midori jammed with them on stage. A lotta fun to watch, they also won UK Metal Hammer award for Best New Metal Band. Miyako is the composer of most of the music and is a multi instrumentalist with mind blowing ability, as you will see in Swan Song. (link below for you.)
Yeah, man they're ridiculously skilled. I believe they won a "Best New Band" award in 2018, and deservably so. I absolutely love them. Glad you reacted to them. If you ever get a chance do another reaction of Lovebites, do "Epilogue", it's a power metal ballad. Nothing extreme, I just think the guitar melodies are top tier imo. 👌 You'll see what I mean
Not, this is Helloween vibes! Lovebites is a classic band. You can check more this band, Lovebites play thrash metal, power metal, speed metal, metal shymponic, heavy metal and hard rock, very classic metal with influences (Iron Maiden, Helloween, Judas Priest, Metallica, etc) and yes, Lovebites in 2019 open for Dragonforce. Check Hammer of Wrath (Trash Metal) or Rising (speed metal) with more epic solos, in live is the best.

Hello, continue reacting to more Lovebites songs but live, and I believe, like many, it is the best metal band of the last 30 years. Pick any live song, they never disappoint.
You will amazed by their skills and performance live. This is BY FAR the BEST Power-Thrash metal band in the world and there is no contest. Today they celebrate 4 years from the release of their debut EP. in 4 short years they have released 3 EP, 3 albums, 3 live video concerts, with the last being live at the studio. They have already toured Europe and played Grasspop, Download Spain and Download UK, Wacken Open Air, Bloodstock festival, they toured Uk with Dragonforce and the year prior they did a small tour in Europe playing in Germany, France, Netherlands and UK. They are incredible, amazing musicians. Chose any song from the Five of a kind DVD or the Daughters of the Dawn or the Awake again live at studio. Probably start with Thunder Vengeance and Holy War ( the first and second songs of the concert at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020 Five of a kind)
Guess what dude, they are maybe even better LIVE. Read the comments, follow the next recommendations for live songs and enjoy the ride. These girls are best metal band in the world right now-total madness. One thing is sure, you aint see nothing yet!
U've been bitten by the Wolfpack, enjoy and love the bite, their talent, beauty, and elegance is second to nobody, they are simply the best power metal band in the world, invade our shores please, I want my face melted off
Lovebites, play this well live. The mix for most of their live material is first class. You can pick any live song from material available on UA-cam and it would be very suprising if you were disappointed. The one exception to this rule is the 30 minute set they did for the BloodStock Festival. Through no fault of the Lovebites lady's, the stage was set up for a different band and there was little time to change settings from my understanding. Avoid any live footage from BloodStock for a reaction. By all means watch it for yourself 😀
Welcome into the lovebites rabbithole! Only another 65+ tracks to cover chap, everyone an absolute banger! Check out frozen serenade live and while your reviewing it remember its LIVE! Best band in the world right now......period! Talent beauty, variation, general appeal and uniqueness. Yes they are fantastic live, and if any band has a more competent sound engineer then I've never seen/heard of them. Enjoy my friend!.
Their albums are mixed in Finland by the same people who worked on NightWish albums. Fantastic musicians all of them, and even better Live! Haruna on the drums uses triggers for her double bass Live, im not sure if it's the same in studio. Check out "Holy War" or "Break the Wall" both Live 2020.
@Jorge, I'm interested where you got the "triggers" info... I have noticed that she uses a dbl-pedal (can see the connecting rod twisting) instead of the two bass drums with individual pedals, but didn't know about "triggers". Thanks! I love the 'ritual' red sneakers! Are they red from the blood of all the fans she has LOVEBITTEN?!?
@@dregeye My blood is there for sure. 😀 Haruna uses Roland triggers and 2 Roland modules to run them. 100% that is her Live setup, at least for this last Japan tour. If you go on Lovebites sub on Reddit, there's a post named "Great article with photos of the musical instruments..." That post links to a Japanese magazine that did an article on their Japan tour. The article goes in excellent detail on everything they used, member by member. Lots of great photos, and all the info on all the gear. I would send you the link but youtube will delete it instantly...
@@dregeye The last page is well worth a read, the writer talks about the show and the emotions and atmosphere, and he does it song by song. It's really nice. 👍
Since you said you don't know their names the lineup is: Guitar: Midori (she's the one with the blonde hair) Guitar/Piano/Keyboards: Miyako Bass: Miho Vocals: Asami Drums: Haruna
You need to react to videos of Lovebites live. Their live perforances are better than their studei recordings - louder, heavier, more brutal - and the vocalist's voice sounds fuller in an auditorium than in the studeo. If you choose anything from their concert at Zepp Diver City, Tokyo, 2020 and you can't go wrong. I suggest Holy War, Break thr Wall, Edge of the World, Swan Song and Epilogue for starters. Lovebites are definitely the real deal. I would put them up against any male metal band and I think they would probably slay the opposition with their technical ability, songwriting skills and live performance. And no tattoos, no multiple piercings, no ragged jeans and T-shirts, no gurning while soloing, no drug or alcohol problem. Lovebites' members are not girls they are five well-educated, sophisticated women, all around thirty years old, who are also insanely talented musicians at the top of their game and play metal for the love of the music.
It's easy to compare them to Dragonforce, but their inspiration goes further back than that. In the eighties there were 2 singers named Bruce Dickinson and Michael Kiske. Why they're so important is that they represented a little change of direction which lead to the birth of powermetal. When Bruce took over in Maiden it was for a more shouty and punkish style of singer. His range and amazing voice opened up so many new possibilities and they ended up in an melodious heavy metal sound with galloping basslines. In Germany 18 year old Mike had just joined Helloween, where he took over for the more "shouty" guitarist, Kai Hansen as vocalist. Before it they were a more of a speed metal band. Though hardly being 18, Kiske was an enormous talent and brought a more polished but powerful voice, which lead to them cleaning up the sound, taking on a more melodious path, like Maiden, but in many ways keeping the speed. My tip? Listen to their cover of Helloweens " Eagle fly free" (live, Abyss) and their own "the Crusade" (mv) which has some similarities to Maidens "Aces high". ...and yeah: both bands have been a great inspiration to them.
What? You like to listen to rock and metal music and didn't know Lovebites ? This is not to be believed ! But a good reaction video. We hope for more of you to Lovebites : You may not believe it, but live this band plays even better. An experience. It may be that we have the Metal Band (female / male) in the world that is playing best together at the moment. They play different styles, but always hard and fast. Thrash Metal + Power Metal + Speed Metal + Metal Ballads S u g g e s t i o n s for next reaction V i d e o : ALL LIVE !!! The Hammer Of Wrath - Zepp Diver City live 2020 Thunder Vengeance - Zepp Diver City live 2020 Break the Wall - Zepp Diver City live 2020 Shadowmaker - Awake Again live Studio 2020 Epilogue - Daughters of the Dawn live 2019 Scream for me - Daughters of the Dawn live 2019 Eagle fly free - Awake Again live Studio 2020 Under the Red Sky - Daughters of the Dawn live 2019
This is the portaldrug to be Lovebitten! Powermetal 2.0 or Happymetal? An advice. Next check out Winds of Transylvania MV for full throttle. Check out Glory to the World MV, hit the subs on that.. and... then go to Zepp Diver Tokyo live videos.... then You might realize that this band is beyond Dragonforce....
Before DragonForce they were Helloween... in 1985....Check them out! Eagle Fly Free is worth knowing. And welcome To Lovebites. They are very special....Time travellers...
There is a reason why this band already played at the Wacken Open Air Festival only two years after their formation. The biggest metal festival in the world! As the first Japanese female band ever. A concert of Lovebites is definitely on my bucket list. The really sad thing is that they only have 47,000 subscribers. How can that be? Women who blow dry their hair have more than that. But such a talentless zone like Lil Pump has 1,7000,000? I don't get it.
Thank you for reacting to this masterpiece, dude! I'm waiting for your next *Lovebites's* reaction..🤘🏻🙂 Stay safe, stay healthy, and have a great day!😎
If you are truly a metalhead, you must stick with Japanese bends. My beloved wolfpack will tell you what to listen next from Lovebites, but I will recommand a few more excellent bands. BAND MAID (mostly hard rock, with heavy metal, funk, pop-punk elements), songs Domination, Freedom, Play (all of them live), Warning (MV), and about 1000 more of them... NEMOPHILA (modern metal, heavy metal, all over), songs Dessension (MV), Oiran (studio live) UNLUCKY MORPHEUS (They described their genre of music as "Technical Melodic Speed Metal"), songs Black pentagram, Unending sorceress, Cadaver MARY'S BLOOD (heavy metal) songs Marionetta (MV), Coronation day (live) GALNERYUS (power progressive symphonic metal) Angel of salvation (live) etc, etc, etc...
you seriously think Midori would get married in that skimpy dress? or Miho on bass in her short length dress? I think they look more like Greek Goddess dresses being Gold and white
Come on guys really! they are better live? then what the hell did we just witnessed for the 1000th time and you still claim the same BS. it doesn't matter if it's a live, studio recording, and or an MV they are the best of the best. you are giving the impression that their albums are not worthy of purchase because they are only good live, this is getting way out of hand, and most of you new dudes are the cause of this stop disrespecting the originals and only claiming they are only good live. Now, you Youngman this is your first Lovebites MV and you acknowledged how good the MV was, but a word of advice don't assume that they are equal to dragon force or there some similarities, these ladies are far better than dragon force and if you continue on this Lovebites journey you will see. Even the guys from dragon force know exactly just how amazing they are and have great respect for them.
I 'get' you on this subject. I left a response on gatograto's comment, you might find some agreement or at least understanding of my 'reasoning'. \m/ LOVEBITES !!!!! \m/
In my honest opinion comparing them to Dragonforce is an insult they are so much more like Iron Maiden and way better than Dragonforce who did what 1 song and got famous? they have way over 60 songs all awesome.

Lyrics:
It is not just some coincidence
It is nothing like reality
It is something very precious that not everyone can get
It is like a dream, a turn of fate
It is what the each of us can bring
It's a chemical reaction, only possible with these pieces
Why must someone get in our way? We won't let them
We can go 'cause we believe
Why must someone put out the light deep inside our hearts?
Can you see, we can create a miracle
Open your eyes, we'll make a new future
All of our hopes are in these hands
Like a bird flying into a world we don't know
We will always be together
Carry on
Carry on
This is us
Carry on
It is failure that has brought us here
It is made of our blood and tears
It is something very strong that keeps us moving on and on
It is love, ambition, destiny
It is why we've been through everything
It is what becomes the reason, shining bright into tomorrow
Why must someone get in our way? We won't let them
We can go 'cause we believe
Why must someone put out the light deep inside our hearts?
Can you see, we can create a miracle
Open your eyes, we'll make a new future
All of our hopes are in these hands
Like a bird flying into a world we don't know
We will always be together
Carry on
Carry on
This is us
Carry on
Open your eyes, we'll make a new future
All of our hopes are in these hands
Like a bird flying into a world we don't know
We will always be together
Open your eyes, we'll make a new future
All of our hopes are in these hands
Like a bird flying into a world we don't know
We will always be together
Carry on
Carry on
This is us
Carry on
Jeez I didn't know they toured with DF, though it makes sense! And Awesome thank you for the info!!
They're even better live. "Holy War" official live is a good one to start.
agree, please react to Holy War, ua-cam.com/video/bgAxpEpEcno/v-deo.html
Yeah, man!
Asami showcasing her high melodic vocal almost on every part in *Holy War LIVE*
Ya a lot of people have been saying this! Super stoked to see their live stuff!
@@cudahitz I don’t think you have to make the video black and white as other reactors do it without issue. But yeah, it’s great.
Best metal band today.

That's sick thank you !
First, a little context. Every member is an outstanding musician. All the girls are multi-instrumentalists. Bass (Miho) and Drums (Haruna) come from the legendary all-female metal band Destrose. They were actually awesome. Check them out. The girl on right on Dean guitar (Miyako) - we are not worthy - no, really. She will probably put over 90% of any hard rock and metal players to shame - she will outclass them. She is a classically trained concert level pianist (for real) with University BA degree in Music (26 years piano). Guitar is her 2nd instrument; she can play bass and drums, too. She picked up guitar at 18 years. She composes over 50% of their songs. Midori on ESP guitar (on left) picked up guitar at 20 years old - she went to ESP Guitar School). Before that, she used to play piano. Asami (vocal) used to learn ballet and sing R&B. She can also play piano. She went to high school in Hawaii on an exchange program for a year. She writes most of their lyrics. All their songs are in English.
Bro, watch them live at Zepp Diver City Tokyo 2020 for more crazy solo's and shreeedddd.....songs Raise Some Hell, Break The Wall, Holy War, The Hammer Of Wrath, and their latest MV Glory To The World and Winds Of Transylvania.... :)
I'll gladly watch their live work!
Welcomed to the mind-blowing world of Lovebites. They really shine in their live performances.
They are insane!
Don't forget to BREATHE ! All LOVEBITES mixed by Mikko Karmila and mastered by Mika Jussila, who have worked with acts like Nightwish, Children of Bodom, and Stratovarius, at Finnvox Studios in Helsinki, Finland.
That's sick my friend thank you for all that info!
@@cudahitz I'm glad you "caught your breath" after your first (of many?) LOVEBITES' breath-taking performances! For me, it is their lyrics that take them from 'a great band' to 'a meaningful experience', so, to understand that, I encourage experiencing "Rising" from the LIVE list I provided... which will also get me to sub your channel!
There's a reason why Mikko and Mika are involved. LoveBites is currently the only Japanese band signed to a western-world label: Nuclear Blast Records, which is the same label that Nightwish, Sabaton, Jinjer, Children of Bodom, and Stratovarius are on.
@@athlonen Odd. I just went to Nuclear Blast website and they don't list LOVEBITES with their "Bands" list and when I searched it showed (1) "upcoming release" with no name and no picture and no information, though I have seen, I think, a LOVEBITES music video or song on u2b associated with Nuclear Blast (because I find associating the name with Japan a bit uncomfortable, yet LOVEBITES has the most legit 'claim' to such an association, from an historical perspective.) I certainly admire LOVEBITES attitude in their songs "The Apocalypse" and "Under The Red Sky". I'm gonna see if NB Records has a 'channel'... Also, Wikipedia does not list NB as an associated label, but Wiki has gone downhill for years now...
@@dregeye Clockwork Immortality was released on Nuclear Blast records.

Finally you check out Lovebites.
Welcome to the world of Lovebites.
The best one metal band right now on the earth.
All the musicians on this band is insane and world class talent.
Not a gimmick or fake. They like the Goddesses.
What a great reaction by the way
Next song from them, try from they live concert.. The song is "Break the wall" or "Raise some hell"
Thank for your great reaction to Lovebites.
I wish I checked them out earlier! They are insane!
You have been DEVOURED...Welcome to the WOLFPACK...LOVEBITES Journey...
I am so glad you chose to do Lovebites, they are an amazing band and deserve much more recognition because their skills and talent are equal to anybody's. Please do more of them, you will enjoy it. For your next Lovebites reaction, please do a live song where they really shine, like "Holy War" ua-cam.com/video/bgAxpEpEcno/v-deo.html
The only reason I would say they don't get mainstream recognition is because their music is meant to be complicated, ambiguous, melodic and you need to listen to it multiple times to dissect it. In other words, it took a ton of effort to make compared to most garbage on the radio that all sounds the same
@@cudahitz this comment make me subscribe 😁
They are the best but live they are more than the best for example "Holy War" live Zepp divercity Tokyo 2020.

Well to really appreciate the insane talent of this band you must experience them LIVE, they play in high heels and white dresses as they are all petite and want to be seen on stage. Once they start playing a 2 hour concert they turn into Metal Goddesses. This band was the 1st all female metal band from Japan to play Wacken Open Air and Bloodstock festivals in Europe (2018) and best new metal band (2018). They blend all the glory of 80's metal with their own sound and some of the old masters to create a unique experience for their Wolf-Pack followers and anyone who appreciates FLAWLESS PERFECTION in their music. Try these next:
Scream for Me LIVE (ua-cam.com/video/acwkphgzNg8/v-deo.html) A guitar clinic by Midori/Blond/ESP and Miyako/Black/Dean
Holy War LIVE (ua-cam.com/video/bgAxpEpEcno/v-deo.html)
Swan Song with piano intro (ua-cam.com/video/n1BiurShqBM/v-deo.html) Miyako's classical piano skills and then the transitions start which are awesome.
I'll check out their live work! I'm excited to see!
Good Reaction❤️❤️❤️ Next songs Raise Some Hell, Hammer Of Wrath, Break The Wall, Scream For Me, watch their crazy solos'♪♪♪[Live at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020]
I'll definitely listen to their live stuff!
Welcome to the wolfpack! The princesses from Japan always bring the THUNDER! You ain't seen sh1t yet! This is just a taste of what they can do! LOVEBITES is #1! \m/
Welcome to the Wolf Pack. This is a rare band who plays better in live than studio recording. Try the albums, Five of a Kind at Zepp Diver City Tokyo 2020, or Daughters of the Dawn 2019, or studio live Awakening Again from the Abyss. Don't try Bloodstock Open Air, the recording is just poor.
You'll receive tons of request, take any of them. They are all good. There is no fillers for Lovebites. But one thing, in the case of Swan Song, you've got to play it with the preceding truck which is Chopin Revolutionary Etude, they are one set, a suite. You'll know the reason when you watch the clip. Edge of the World and We the united are the last two songs of the 2 hour live Five of a Kind at Zepp 2020. Those two pieces a kind of connected. You can see the grand finare.
wrong wrong and absolutely double-time wrong everyone keeps making this point and it is so untrue to the fact, it doesn't matter whether it is an MV, an audio track, or live they stay true to their form an overall outstanding band
@@salsaucedo
Well, with my preference yes. You may have your own preference that is totally alright with me. I don't deny your opinion.
Let me tell you how I feel about MVs. MVs have more back trucks and retouched, and I feel that is a little artificial to me. I'm not so naive that I deny retouch and back truck at all. The balance is difficult and I feel more comfortable with their lives.
My preference may be different from yours but that the way I am.
I was going to say, everyone is saying they are better live so I'm excited to see their live work!
I think the premise to "LIVE is better" comes from people not being accustomed to any band that can perform so flawlessly in a LIVE setting. I also prefer the 'mix' with the guitars distinctly panned left & right and the minimal 'enhancements', the RAW energy and WATCHING them, as individuals and their unity as a group, the ensemble nature of their presentation. The songs are fantastic, and honestly, I am just becoming familiar with the CDs as I only recently got them while having gotten the Blu-rays & DVDs months ago, even listening to the LIVE audio in my car. There are numerous songs not yet available LIVE, so I am becoming familiar with them now. The new song "Paranoia" 'triggered' that interest. LOVEBITES is quite prolific making it a 'full time' pleasure to 'get acquainted' with all their material. As "CudaHitz" commented, it takes several listens to absorb all that happens in just one song...
LOVEBITES - When Destinies Align lyrics:
It is not just some coincidence
It is nothing like reality
It is something very precious that not everyone can get
It is like a dream, a turn of fate
It is what the each of us can bring
It’s a chemical reaction, only possible by these pieces
Why must someone get in our way？We won’t let them
We can go cause we believe
Why must someone put out the light deep inside our hearts
Can you see？We can create a miracle
Open your eyes, we’ll make a new future
All of our hopes are in these hands
Like a bird flying into a world we don’t know
Carry on, carry on
This is us, carry on
It is failure that has brought us here
It is made of our blood and tears
It is something very strong that keeps us moving on and on
It is love, ambition, destiny
It is why we’ve been through everything
It is what becomes the reason, shining bright into tomorrow
Why must someone get in our way？We won’t let them
We can go cause we believe
Why must someone put out the light deep inside our hearts
Can you see？We can create a miracle
Open your eyes, we’ll make a new future
All of our hopes are in these hands
Like a bird flying into a world we don’t know
We will always be together
Carry on, carry on
This is us, carry on
Open your eyes, we’ll make a new future
All of our hopes are in these hands
Like a bird flying into a world we don’t know
We will always be together
Open your eyes, we’ll make a new future
All of our hopes are in these hands
Like a bird flying into a world we don’t know
We will always be together
Carry on, carry on
This is us, carry on

lyrics: asami
music: miyako
arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami)
Some solid lyrics and the musicianship is what got me to be honest! Love it!
Best power metal band in 30 + years. Hell, best metal band period in 30+ years. I have everything they've released. ALL GLORY to LOVEBITES and all my brothers and sisters in The Wolf Pack everywhere, WE ARE UNITED forever under their command. Proud member of the Wolf Pack since 2017!
You must see them live, They are incredible !
Damn...Lovebites...soo Good 🔥🔥🔥🤘😎🤘
Thank you for reacting to this video! I love this band! A modern day Iron Maiden! They were born to play together!
Yes, another one bitten. Other reviewers have described them as alien superheroes disguised as young women, angels sent to save us, princesses of metal, and angry bridesmaids. They have themselves said in interviews that part of their mission is to save heavy metal from darkness and obscurity. Some background:
They were formed from the remnants of a legendary all-girl Japanese metal band called Destrose (yes, all-girl metal has been a thing in Japan since at least 1981). Miho (bass, chief metalhead and soul of the band) recruited her former bandmate Haruna (drums, 4'9" “pocket nuke”); they went and found the two guitarists, Midori and Miyako, who were with other bands, and the whole group then found Asami, the singer, who was doing soul and blues at the time. Miho and Miyako compose most of their music, in collaboration with Mao, the lead composer of another band called Lightbringer, but Midori has also been getting into the act. Asami writes a lot of the lyrics.
They have only been around for just shy of 5 years. They studied all the great historical metal bands going back to Purple and Sabbath, through Maiden, Priest, Metallica, Slayer etc. and they pretty much aced it all. They toured with Dragonforce in 2019, and word from those in attendance is that next time around, it will be the ladies headlining. They have incorporated some of the best of each of those bands into their arsenal, and it seems clear they’re taking it to another level.
You picked one of the best "starter" songs for reactors, and rightly so--you get a good sense of the band. They do everything from soulful power ballads to heavy thrash, and almost every song includes face-melting solos by Miyako and Midori. The two guitarists are quite different in style and tone. Midori (blonde ponytail) is the extrovert and speed demon; Miyako is the introvert, with the more soulful feel. Midori uses a cleaner tone, Miyako uses more distortion, pinch harmonics and pedal effects. The interplay makes their duets rich and dynamic. It doesn’t hurt that either one can 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.") Miyako is also a concert-level classical pianist, and some of their songs feature her on the piano.
They are amazing live. You should next check out “Holy War” live: "Holy War" Dual shred harmonies: ua-cam.com/video/bgAxpEpEcno/v-deo.html
If you want to see what they do with the piano, watch “Swan Song” WITH the prelude, which is Chopin’s “Revolutionary Etude” ua-cam.com/video/n1BiurShqBM/v-deo.html Miyako wrote “Swan Song” using elements from several classical pieces including the Etude.
You'll get lots of suggestions, just one thing: don't bother with Bloodstock footage, the quality is poor. Best to take suggestions with actual links. Welcome to the Wolf-Pack!
The stunned look on his face in the first 30 seconds had me laughing over here! He's toast! ( And the wolfpack keeps growing! )
@@TheCyberMantis Stunned, exactly.
They have toured with D Force and the the 2 guitarists Miyako and Midori jammed with them on stage. A lotta fun to watch, they also won UK Metal Hammer award for Best New Metal Band. Miyako is the composer of most of the music and is a multi instrumentalist with mind blowing ability, as you will see in Swan Song. (link below for you.)
Hi Paull I guess you forgot to leave the link. Have a good one. Rock on!
ua-cam.com/video/n1BiurShqBM/v-deo.html
Ur face says it all...wOW!!
Yeah, man they're ridiculously skilled. I believe they won a "Best New Band" award in 2018, and deservably so. I absolutely love them.
Glad you reacted to them.
If you ever get a chance do another reaction of Lovebites, do "Epilogue", it's a power metal ballad. Nothing extreme, I just think the guitar melodies are top tier imo. 👌
You'll see what I mean
Not, this is Helloween vibes! Lovebites is a classic band. You can check more this band, Lovebites play thrash metal, power metal, speed metal, metal shymponic, heavy metal and hard rock, very classic metal with influences (Iron Maiden, Helloween, Judas Priest, Metallica, etc) and yes, Lovebites in 2019 open for Dragonforce. Check Hammer of Wrath (Trash Metal) or Rising (speed metal) with more epic solos, in live is the best.
and got to check, Eagle Fly Free Helloween cover of Studio live.
Lovebites - EDGE OF THE WORLD
Your journey has just begun. Expect to be blown away many times. Lovebites mix all kinds of metal and make it awesome. Good reaction👍
You gotta check out Nemophila. Another incredible all female Japanese metal band.
My fav band, i like harmonic guitar
and live they are even better. you can check any song from their tokyo 2020 or 2019 concerts.
This was good - may be unpopular opinion but liked it way more than Nightwish
Hell yeah! Lovebites smokes Nightwish!
live is great experience, check out: Holy War, Edge Of The World, Raise Some Hell, Break The Wall

Lovebites better served live. Anything from Zepp Divercity Tokyo 2020
Hello, continue reacting to more Lovebites songs but live, and I believe, like many, it is the best metal band of the last 30 years. Pick any live song, they never disappoint.
You will amazed by their skills and performance live. This is BY FAR the BEST Power-Thrash metal band in the world and there is no contest. Today they celebrate 4 years from the release of their debut EP. in 4 short years they have released 3 EP, 3 albums, 3 live video concerts, with the last being live at the studio. They have already toured Europe and played Grasspop, Download Spain and Download UK, Wacken Open Air, Bloodstock festival, they toured Uk with Dragonforce and the year prior they did a small tour in Europe playing in Germany, France, Netherlands and UK. They are incredible, amazing musicians. Chose any song from the Five of a kind DVD or the Daughters of the Dawn or the Awake again live at studio. Probably start with Thunder Vengeance and Holy War ( the first and second songs of the concert at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020 Five of a kind)
Guess what dude, they are maybe even better LIVE. Read the comments, follow the next recommendations for live songs and enjoy the ride. These girls are best metal band in the world right now-total madness. One thing is sure, you aint see nothing yet!
U've been bitten by the Wolfpack, enjoy and love the bite, their talent, beauty, and elegance is second to nobody, they are simply the best power metal band in the world, invade our shores please, I want my face melted off
Lovebites, play this well live. The mix for most of their live material is first class. You can pick any live song from material available on UA-cam and it would be very suprising if you were disappointed. The one exception to this rule is the 30 minute set they did for the BloodStock Festival. Through no fault of the Lovebites lady's, the stage was set up for a different band and there was little time to change settings from my understanding. Avoid any live footage from BloodStock for a reaction. By all means watch it for yourself 😀
I'll try to remember that when I look at their live stuff!! Thanks for the heads up!
Lovebites studio Live
Scream For me/Burden of Time
Nice react🎙
Plz!!!! next LOVEBITES⭐️
"Raise Some Hell"
"Hammer Of Wrath"
"Break The Wall"
"Shadowmaker"
Can't stop headbang🤘
Welcome into the lovebites rabbithole! Only another 65+ tracks to cover chap, everyone an absolute banger! Check out frozen serenade live and while your reviewing it remember its LIVE! Best band in the world right now......period! Talent beauty, variation, general appeal and uniqueness. Yes they are fantastic live, and if any band has a more competent sound engineer then I've never seen/heard of them. Enjoy my friend!.
The Metal Goddesses. You need to see a live performance. They are even better live! Next check out their song Holy War from 2020 in Tokyo.
Next Holy war...
Their albums are mixed in Finland by the same people who worked on NightWish albums.
Fantastic musicians all of them, and even better Live!
Haruna on the drums uses triggers for her double bass Live, im not sure if it's the same in studio.
Check out "Holy War" or "Break the Wall" both Live 2020.
@Jorge, I'm interested where you got the "triggers" info... I have noticed that she uses a dbl-pedal (can see the connecting rod twisting) instead of the two bass drums with individual pedals, but didn't know about "triggers".
Thanks! I love the 'ritual' red sneakers! Are they red from the blood of all the fans she has LOVEBITTEN?!?
@@dregeye My blood is there for sure. 😀
Haruna uses Roland triggers and 2 Roland modules to run them. 100% that is her Live setup, at least for this last Japan tour.
If you go on Lovebites sub on Reddit, there's a post named "Great article with photos of the musical instruments..." That post links to a Japanese magazine that did an article on their Japan tour. The article goes in excellent detail on everything they used, member by member. Lots of great photos, and all the info on all the gear.
I would send you the link but youtube will delete it instantly...
@@JFrancoDrums Thanks so much! I'm there now... That article is FANTASTIC! Great photos & info!
@@dregeye The last page is well worth a read, the writer talks about the show and the emotions and atmosphere, and he does it song by song. It's really nice. 👍
@@JFrancoDrums Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I will definitely check it out!
Miyako will be my future wife, great reaction sir
Have you picked up your jaw from the floor yet :D
Since you said you don't know their names the lineup is:
Guitar: Midori (she's the one with the blonde hair)
Guitar/Piano/Keyboards: Miyako
Bass: Miho
Vocals: Asami
Drums: Haruna
You need to react to videos of Lovebites live. Their live perforances are better than their studei recordings - louder, heavier, more brutal - and the vocalist's voice sounds fuller in an auditorium than in the studeo. If you choose anything from their concert at Zepp Diver City, Tokyo, 2020 and you can't go wrong. I suggest Holy War, Break thr Wall, Edge of the World, Swan Song and Epilogue for starters.
Lovebites are definitely the real deal. I would put them up against any male metal band and I think they would probably slay the opposition with their technical ability, songwriting skills and live performance. And no tattoos, no multiple piercings, no ragged jeans and T-shirts, no gurning while soloing, no drug or alcohol problem. Lovebites' members are not girls they are five well-educated, sophisticated women, all around thirty years old, who are also insanely talented musicians at the top of their game and play metal for the love of the music.
It's easy to compare them to Dragonforce, but their inspiration goes further back than that.
In the eighties there were 2 singers named Bruce Dickinson and Michael Kiske. Why they're so important is that they represented a little change of direction which lead to the birth of powermetal. When Bruce took over in Maiden it was for a more shouty and punkish style of singer.
His range and amazing voice opened up so many new possibilities and they ended up in an melodious heavy metal sound with galloping basslines. In Germany 18 year old Mike had just joined Helloween, where he took over for the more "shouty" guitarist, Kai Hansen as vocalist. Before it they were a more of a speed metal band.
Though hardly being 18, Kiske was an enormous talent and brought a more polished but powerful voice, which lead to them cleaning up the sound, taking on a more melodious path, like Maiden, but in many ways keeping the speed. My tip? Listen to their cover of Helloweens " Eagle fly free" (live, Abyss) and their own "the Crusade" (mv) which has some similarities to Maidens "Aces high". ...and yeah: both bands have been a great inspiration to them.
What? You like to listen to rock and metal music and didn't know Lovebites ? This is not to be believed ! But a good reaction video. We hope for more of you to Lovebites :
You may not believe it, but live this band plays even better. An experience. It may be that we have the Metal Band (female / male) in the world that is playing best together
at the moment. They play different styles, but always hard and fast. Thrash Metal + Power Metal + Speed Metal + Metal Ballads
S u g g e s t i o n s for next reaction V i d e o : ALL LIVE !!!

Check them out live here's Lovebites Holy War ua-cam.com/video/bgAxpEpEcno/v-deo.html
Metal didn't died... It just got tired of all the drama in the west and moved to Japan, where these girls are taking good care of it...
This is the portaldrug to be Lovebitten! Powermetal 2.0 or Happymetal? An advice. Next check out Winds of Transylvania MV for full throttle. Check out Glory to the World MV, hit the subs on that.. and... then go to Zepp Diver Tokyo live videos.... then You might realize that this band is beyond Dragonforce....
I saw your jaw drop! 🙂
good reaction 👍
but.
live is not like This😜
next press
live performance.
I wonder if I could understand
in This English?
じゃね🤘
Before DragonForce they were Helloween... in 1985....Check them out! Eagle Fly Free is worth knowing. And welcome To Lovebites. They are very special....Time travellers...
you're not going to find a bad song from Lovebites, Guaranteed!!!
Do you like the drummer work in this song?
Then enjoy her drumcam video: ua-cam.com/video/uoXTMy7c4gI/v-deo.html
There is a reason why this band already played at the Wacken Open Air Festival only two years after their formation.
The biggest metal festival in the world! As the first Japanese female band ever.
A concert of Lovebites is definitely on my bucket list.
The really sad thing is that they only have 47,000 subscribers. How can that be? Women who blow dry their hair have more than that.
But such a talentless zone like Lil Pump has 1,7000,000? I don't get it.
Thank you for reacting to this masterpiece, dude!
I'm waiting for your next *Lovebites's* reaction..🤘🏻🙂
Stay safe, stay healthy, and have a great day!😎
Appreciate it Yuri thank you!
dregeye is right, after every song i usually have to stop and catch my breath
Nice reaction. You got it wrong though - DragonForce had Lovebites vibes 😁.
Please check other Japanese female rock bands.
If you are truly a metalhead, you must stick with Japanese bends. My beloved wolfpack will tell you what to listen next from Lovebites, but I will recommand a few more excellent bands.
BAND MAID (mostly hard rock, with heavy metal, funk, pop-punk elements), songs Domination, Freedom, Play (all of them live), Warning (MV), and about 1000 more of them...
NEMOPHILA (modern metal, heavy metal, all over), songs Dessension (MV), Oiran (studio live)
UNLUCKY MORPHEUS (They described their genre of music as "Technical Melodic Speed Metal"), songs Black pentagram, Unending sorceress, Cadaver
MARY'S BLOOD (heavy metal) songs Marionetta (MV), Coronation day (live)
GALNERYUS (power progressive symphonic metal) Angel of salvation (live)
etc, etc, etc...
THANK YOU for using "guitar harmony" instead of "dual solo".
Can you react to dangerous night by 30 seconds to mars
you seriously think Midori would get married in that skimpy dress? or Miho on bass in her short length dress? I think they look more like Greek Goddess dresses being Gold and white
they lovebites not Dragonforce they much better
Come on guys really! they are better live? then what the hell did we just witnessed for the 1000th time and you still claim the same BS. it doesn't matter if it's a live, studio recording, and or an MV they are the best of the best. you are giving the impression that their albums are not worthy of purchase because they are only good live, this is getting way out of hand, and most of you new dudes are the cause of this stop disrespecting the originals and only claiming they are only good live. Now, you Youngman this is your first Lovebites MV and you acknowledged how good the MV was, but a word of advice don't assume that they are equal to dragon force or there some similarities, these ladies are far better than dragon force and if you continue on this Lovebites journey you will see. Even the guys from dragon force know exactly just how amazing they are and have great respect for them.
I 'get' you on this subject. I left a response on gatograto's comment, you might find some agreement or at least understanding of my 'reasoning'. \m/ LOVEBITES !!!!! \m/
less dragonforce more like a real band Iron Maiden
In my honest opinion comparing them to Dragonforce is an insult they are so much more like Iron Maiden and way better than Dragonforce who did what 1 song and got famous? they have way over 60 songs all awesome.
I saw your jaw drop! 🙂
