"Etude Op.10, No.12" ( or "Revolutionary Etude") by the Great Polish composer Frederic Chopin, which was written in 1831 and is dedicated to the Polish patriots who raised an uprising (1830-1831) against the Russian Empire, whose troops occupied Poland. "Swan Song" ( lyrics - Asami / music - Miyako) from LOVEBITES third studio Album "Electric Pentagram" (2020). For many centuries (starting from Ancient Greece) there is a legend, according to which swans, non-singing, "silent" birds, acquire a voice a few moments before death, and this dying singing of swans is amazingly beautiful. "Etude" by F. Chopin and "Swan Song" are dedicated to the warriors who died in battle. Therefore, at the concert, "Etude" and "Swan Song" are played together. In an interview given after the release of the "Electric Pentagram" album, Asami (a former ballerina, studied classical ballet for about 16 years before becoming a singer) said that when she wrote the lyrics of the song, she was thinking about the famous ballet P.I. Tchaikovsky "Swan Lake" . During the performance of the song, Asami imitates the Swan (hand movements). And in the final part (piano Miyako), symbolizing the death of the Swan, Asami depicts the dying Swan on stage. Because the camera at the end of the song is focused on Miyako playing the piano, Asami's "death of the Swan" was not captured on video. Asami added some Scandinavian mythology (Valhalla) to the lyrics.. The attitudes towards death among the Japanese Samurai and the Scandinavian Vikings were very similar. For Samurai and Vikings, death in battle with weapons in their hands is a death worthy of a male warrior. Death in battle is better than death from old age in your bed. All Vikings dreamed of dying in battle because then they could go to Heaven, to Valhalla (the Hall of those killed in battle) where they would meet God Odin and other Vikings who died in battles.
A classic already! These ladies have set new standards in the field of Metal. I can think of only one band that could do it better still - a quintet called Lovebites.
I seen them in Edinburgh and Newcastle UK on tour with with Dragon Force it was awesome also one of the roadies said that the drums and guitars have to go for therapy after every gig. HA HA.
The word "masterpiece" is thrown around too casually, but in this case, it is completely appropriate. Chopin (for your viewers who are not familiar) was a Polish-born Romantic-era (1800’s) classical composer and piano virtuoso who lived most of his life in France. He is considered one of the greatest classical composers of all time. Miyako, who composes a lot of Lovebites’ music, is a professional-level concert pianist, and was originally going to make classical music her career. When she was 18, she picked up a guitar, and is now (quite obviously) an elite-level guitarist. She particularly likes the Romantic Era classical composers like Debussy, Dvořák, Chopin and Rachmaninoff. She composed “Swan Song” using elements of the New World Symphony (Dvořák) and Chopin’s Revolutionary Etude (official name Étude Opus 10, No. 12 in C minor). For this performance, she actually played the Etude as a prelude, but it’s not normally included in their shows. Congratulations on checking this out. And by the way, Lovebites did tour with Dragonforce back before the pandemic.
It was worth watching just to see approx. 8 minutes of astonishment on the face of the dude in the back. I probably look like that every time I watch a Lovebites video, and I watch them every day. I recommend "Break the Wall" and "The Awakening/Hammer of Wrath" for further astonishment.
Thanks so much for reacting to amazing Lovebites. You've just witnessed greatness. Miyako is a concert level classical pianist; she took piano classes since 3 years old. Some people say they're angels who came to planet Earth in order to save metal. As proficient musicians, they are so versatile and have no limits. Those twin lead guitar solos by Midori and Miyako are already legendary, in just six years. Their style is so unique. With the new bassist, Fami, now they're ready to take the world by storm. Being speechless after listening to Lovebites is the new normal. By the way, they toured the UK in 2019, opening for Dragonforce and they are good friends. My next suggestions are "Thunder vengeance", "The awakening/Hammer of Wrath"' "Break the Wall", "Shadowmaker", "Edge of the world", "Raise some hell", "Scream for me", "Don't bite the dust". All live.
Great song of Lovebites with great piano playing to. They released a new official video called "Judgement Day" and they are keep getting better and better. On the new song is their new basspalyer to, she called Fami and is a big young talent. Thanks for the great reaction 🤘
Thank you for taking the time to respond to this great group. Make sure you continue your journey in discovering this group but bring your reactions closer. You have about 50 titles to discover and if you do them every 4 months in 10 years you will still be there.
Besides this, Lovebitz has a wonderful song with piano and ballet called "A furozen serenade". It also covers Judas Priest and Halloween songs. Love Bites play such beautiful songs, but their latest song "Dissonance" is so brutal that it's hard to believe they're from the same band. I have never heard anyone other than Love Bites perform an unthinkable variety of music at a high level. ラブバイツには、これの他に「A furozen serenade」と言う、ピアノとバレエが加わった素晴らしい曲が有ります。 更にジューダス・プリーストとハロウィンの曲もカバーしています。 こんなに美しい曲を演奏するラブバイツですが、最新曲の「Dissonance」は同じバンドとは到底思えない程の残忍な楽曲です。 考えられない程多彩な音楽をハイレベルで演奏するのは、ラブバイツ以外に聞いた事が有りません。

The huge bit of art mega masterpiece of Ladies. All is perfect here. We are in the heaven. They had a tour with Dragonforce in UK in 2019 fall. The best known funny common performance of Midori, Miyako, Herman and Sam is Farming Simulator London 2019.
Thanks for the reaction! LOVEBITES are the GODDESSES of heavy metal ! In 2018 , LOVEBITES won the prestigious Metal Hammer GOLDEN GODS Award for "Best New Band" (London,UK). The winners of the GOLDEN GODS Award in different years and in various categories were such famous bands and musicians,such as : Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Motörhead, Twisted Sister, Ozzy Osbourne, Lemmy Kilmister, Zakk Wylde, Nikki Sixx, Joe Perry, Judas Priest, Anthrax, Slayer, Saxon, Nightwish, Rammstein, Sabaton, Children of Bodom, Arch Enemy (and this is not a complete list). LOVEBITES is a Japanese all-female heavy metal band, formed in 2016 by former Japanese heavy metal band DESTROSE members Miho( bass,backing vocals) and Haruna(drums). The band has successfully performed at various major international rock-festivals many times .In the spring of 2018, LOVEBITES performed on the Japanese leg of the Warped Tour. In August 2018, they performed at Wacken Open Air (Germany), becoming the first Japanese all-female rock band to perform at the festival. Also in August 2018 they performed on the main stage of Bloodstock Open Air (UK). In 2019, LOVEBITES performed at the Download Festival in Donington (UK) and Download Festival in Madrid (Spain). Their performance in Donington was named by the festival organizers and Metal Hammer magazine as one of the highlights of the festival! In the same year they performed at the Graspop Metal Meeting (Belgium) and the Summer Sonic Festival (Japan). Unfortunately, the Covid pandemic that began in 2020 prevents LOVEBITES from performing at festivals and forced a drastic reduction of concerts. LOVEBITES is a phenomenal band, all the ladies are talented musicians! Over 5 years (2017-2021) they have recorded about 50 original songs and all the songs are very good ! In February 2023, the 4th studio album "Judgement Day" will be released ( + 10 new songs). 🐺Miho - bass, backing vocals (in August 2021 she left the band). 🐺Haruna - drums. 🐺Midori - guitars, backing vocals. 🐺Miyako (Mi-Ya)- guitars, piano, keyboards, backing vocals. 🐺Asami - lead vocals, piano. 🐺Fami - bass (since October 2022). 🐺Miho has been playing the piano since the age of 5. She started playing the bass guitar at school. Great bass player! The fact that such a wonderful band appeared is, first of all, the merit of Miho. She came up with the idea of starting a band and what kind of music the band would play. It's a mix of power metal and "old school" heavy metal . Miho brought these talented ladies together in LOVEBITES. 🐺Haruna has played drums since she was thirteen years old, she also plays keyboards. Haruna is the smallest (4 '9 ") , but appearances are deceiving. When Haruna sits down at the drums, this is the "little BIG Engine." She is one of the best drummers in Japan. 🐺Midori (blond hair) has been playing the piano since she was two years old and the electric organ since she was eight. She started studying guitar at the age of 20. Super guitarist, "Crazy Shredder". She surpasses many male guitarists in speed and technique of playing the guitar. Graduated from ESP / MI JAPAN ( Osaka ) , GIT-DX department (superfast guitar department). ESP / MI JAPAN is an International Music Institute , headquartered in Hollywood, California, USA. 🐺Miyako (black hair) has been playing the piano since the age of three, received a classical education (piano) and wanted to pursue a career as a pianist. She has been playing the guitar since the age of 18. Super guitarist! They call her "The Golden Touch" and she is a real musical genius. Miyako is the main composer of the band, she wrote 50% of the music. * In terms of teamwork , synchronization / harmonization of guitars , Midori and Miyako today are perhaps the best pair of guitarists in the world playing metal. One music critic said that two guitarists of this level (Midori and Miyako) in the same band is a crime!😊 🐺Asami started with R&B and soul music . She studied classical ballet for about 16 years (this is noticeable in her movements on stage, especially the movements of her hands). Started ballet lessons at the age of two. After leaving school, Asami lived for some time in the US, where she came to study jazz and hip hop dance. Plays the piano. Asami wrote most of the lyrics of the band's songs. 🐺Fami is 20 years old, plays bass, keyboards, guitar, writes songs, sings. She has already released her solo album, which she dedicated to graduating from school. Despite his youth, Fami has experience of collaboration with famous musicians.. All songs LOVEBITES are written in English. Unlike other metal bands, LOVEBITES are always on stage in white dresses . White dresses are their style. The Wolf is the mascot of LOVEBITES and is featured on all band's albums except the first EP "The Lovebites". The band's fans call themselves the 🐺Wolfpack🐺
Great reaction. I don’t know names, but guy in the middle, at the back, your face was an absolute picture throughout the whole performance. Miyako is a prodigy, who someone described as a “dangerous” musician because her understanding of music is extremely finely tuned. On the 22nd the new Lovebites album “Judgement Day” will become a milestone in metal history. Think Sgt Pepper. There is nobody even close to them, and next Wednesday they’ll have disappeared over the horizon.
Thank you for the great reaction!! These ladies leave me speechless every time!! Such an amazing band!! 🤘🐺🤘 For the lady in the pink hat, you are right!! Miyako uses Dean guitars, Peavey head and Orange cab. Midori ESP guitars, Kemper head, Marshall cab!!
Since you're pretty much starting new with this band, Asami is the lead singer, Miyako on the piano and guitar, Midori on guitar, Miho on bass here, and Haruna on drums. Miho left the band in 2021. Fami was announced as the new bassist a recently, try Judgement Day to see her. The band is named after the Grammy winning Halestorm song, Love Bites (So DO I). Asami has joined Halestorm onstage performing that song.
Awesome to see you checking out another Lovebites track, and that you enjoyed them so much....Icertainly hope this leads to more of their music on your channel in the near future!! I personally think their music is incredible and would dearly love for them to have even more worldwide exposure! All 5 of these ladies (including the new bassist, Fami, are very talented individually. but what they do together is truly special and almost all lyrics are quite uplifting! Hope you can get Animal to join you for the nest listen of Lovebites as he should not miss out on Haruna's playing! Cheers all!
This is pure perfection. Her musical abilities are virtuosic. Be sure the watch their newer video Judgement Day with the new bassist. Crepe Myrtle roots? dang.. those are tough!
This band has no Peer!🤘🤘All of their work is like this, amazing. They'll have over 60 songs when the new Album "Judgment Day" comes out in a few days 2/22/2023.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for coming back to them. I know you weren't fond of the Holy War lyrics and thought they were into dark lyrics, not the case and tried to make a compelling story to you which unfortunately failed at the time so very glad you are giving them another shot. Their talent is off the charts. Here are some recommendations with positive / uplifting lyrics.

Im sure a few people have already said Miyako has been playing piano since around 4 years old, but she didn't start playing guitar until she was almost 19. She never took proper lessons and learned how to play from an instructional book. She's also a big fan of Dimebag Daryl (RIP), which I think might be why she plays Dean. Whats kind of funny is she looks so serious in these videos but she has a very bubbly, humble and outgoing personality, which comes out on her personal YT channel. The musicianship of this whole band is incredible. For your next song, I would suggest "Scream For Me", the version from the 'Live From Abyss' DVD, which was a live rehearsal session broadcast during COVID. The production is great, and the song ends with a minute and half of Midori and Miyako trading killer guitar solos. The entire DVD is incredible, but whatever you decide next, you can't go wrong. These ladies have a catalog that's definitely worth going through.
Check this out: Not only Miyaco (guitarist, pianist, composer) is a Dean artist that has her own signature guitar, Orange Amps made those white amps specially for her, and those are only sold in Japan 😉. Orange in LOVEBITES white!
When I was in school. The Teacher had a paddle on the wall. Printed on it was. People are like canoes. Paddle by the rear, they steer better. She knew how to use it and used it often. It had holes drilled in that made it hurt worse left welts on your butt. I’ll never forget her. She was one of my best teachers and one of the strictest. No one got away with anything in her classroom. If you didn’t do your homework. You got to paddle. She didn’t fool around. Didn’t take any excuses. It was yes ma’am. No ma’am. Everyone sat up straight. And you better have been in the hospital if you didn’t show up for school.
You mentioned Lovebites and Dragon Force touring together. They already have. Lovebites opened for Dragon Force on their UK tour in 2019. There are a couple of videos where Dragon Force had the ladies of Lovebites join them on stage and Herman Li was introduced as the 6th member of Lovebites and he came out wearing a white dress. Check them out
LOVEBITES - Swan Song lyrics: If this was the last day you could live on this earth Would you still go on, accusing someone for today It’s better to fail than not do anything at all It is not the length, but depth of life that counts Oh brave soldier Oh gallant warrior Valor to those who died in battle to Valhalla Believe what’s in your soul For death will come to all You shall rest peacefully in God’s Heaven Floating lotus You are so graceful Saintly and glorious Till the end of time Floating lotus You are so beautiful Sing me your sweet song The legend of the swan If you’ve never hoped, you’ve never been though despair Ignorance is bliss, it’s easier to not care You might think it’s meaningless to sacrifice a life Sometimes the life of one can save so many more Oh brave soldier Oh gallant warrior Valor to those who died in battle to Valhalla Believe what’s in your soul For death will come to all You shall rest peacefully in God’s Heaven Floating lotus You are so graceful Saintly and glorious Till the end of time Floating lotus You are so beautiful Sing me your sweet song The legend of the swan SOLO: miyako / both Floating lotus You are so graceful Saintly and glorious Till the end of time Floating lotus You are so beautiful Sing me your sweet song The legend of the swan SOLO: midori ----- lyrics: asami music: miyako arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) from Electric Pentagram 2020
Greatest metal band on the planet right now, in my opinion. So amazing. I very highly suggest Thunder Vengeance (live from Zepp), Break the Wall (live from Zepp) and Set the World on Fire (live from 2021). If you want something more like this one, with the piano, try Frozen Serenade. If you want a pretty amazing 80s sort of rock style, try Empty Daydream. Great vocal harmonies there. I love this band.
Great reactions...thank you, and you did not interupt the song once, like too many do. But this band are beyond mere words and this song is an absolute masterpiece of writing and playing, and I think it was written by Miyako. Her piano playing is just incredible, and her finger tapping guitar solo, well, no other words needed. And when the others join in just listen to Haruna's drumming, her double kicking is stupendous, and she only has 2 feet. But the other members, Midori on lead guitar, Asami's vocals and Miho bring everything together to make a glorious unmatched song.
0:27 That is how some other countries write the dates - day, month, year. They put them in the correct order. It is the USA that gets the order incorrect by writing them out month, day, year.
Hey y’all, up late The last update I got was February 14 at 12:40 which said that the package has been checked and approved by customs. Should be with you any day now. I sent you an email with all the info I have got.
Finally you got to it, but where your drummer???? Music by Miyako, piano, guitar; Lyrics by Asami, vocals. Miyako also does her arrangements. FYI, Miyako does not like the that Roland, it's electronic and has plastic keys. She has a Yamaha Grand at home in her studio. The ladies have already performed with Dragon Force while on tour with them. There are even videos on YT. They now have a new bassist, Fami, that you can preview by checking out her MV "Alien Alien". Then the new Lovebites MV "Judgement Day".
It is said that "Rock was invented in America, raised in England, and perfected in Japan." Rock is dead! It is said that rock is alive in Japan.There are many great rock bands in Japan.
Thank you for more LOVEBITES! I believe your appreciation will increase if you listen with headphones (on your own if not during 'reaction') to grasp all that is happening within any given song. The complexity & precision in their arrangements & performances is difficult to fully understand upon 'first pass' especially listening with speakers. Heavier, "Break The Wall" LIVE 2020: ua-cam.com/video/5Pc0XK0lNmU/v-deo.html Positivity, "Rising" LIVE 2020 [cc] lyrics: ua-cam.com/video/6nci8KtXJPk/v-deo.html 🐺
You have to keep reacting to these girls, you will see how talented they are. You like ballads, Gary Moore style, then react to the song "Epilogue", you like the most powerful heavy, then I suggest the songs "Awakening The hammer of wrath" and "Raise some hell" you like heavy songs, mixed with fairy tales "Frozen Serenade" and "Edge of the world" and for you to see how versatile these girls are the songs "Dancing wirh the devil" and "Rising" a spectacular video clip.
Lovebites and Dragonforce HAVE actually appeared together in the UK - this was a bit of fun - " Farming Simulator " - ua-cam.com/video/KnGPZxfOAmg/v-deo.html
They supported Dragonforce on their tour a few years back. Sadly, I missed it. I consider myself to be very lucky living in London as I was able to see my favourite 'Nightwish' at Wembley in November - I've just bought tickets for Sabaton/Babymetal in April at Wembley again. I'm seeing 'Beast in Black' next Monday (who supported Nightwish - Yannis the lead singer has done wonderful Nightwish covers of GLS and Sahara, definitely worth checking out!) I'm not sure if you take recommendations here , but I'd like to point you in the direction of a Symphonic Metal band from Germany called 'Beyond the Black' , Jennifer Haben, the lead singer has had the seal of approval from none other than Floor so I would hope you give them some love. I recommend a song called 'Hallelujah' - the best audio quality is at a live festival in Japan. 'Winter is coming' is a great video. 'Songs of Love and Death' , 'A million light years', 'Is there anybody out there' and 'In the shadows' are some of the highlights! Well, as always, take good care of yourselves 😃
Another Japanese female band you might want to check out is Nemophila. These girls can sing and play. The tune "Monsters" recorded live is very impressive î. Also Band Maid's live performance of "Freedom". They're perhaps the most popular J Rock band. Also Jimmy Page's favorite band
Nice reaction guys… you guys must react to a group called Asterism… a three piece Japanese band with an incredible talent… recommend a song called Dawn live 2019
Tina Setkic is an amazing young guitarist, but Midori and Miyako are on a completely different level! They are on the level of Downing and Tipton from Judas Priest and Murray and Smith from Iron Maiden! M&M are one of the best metal guitar duo’s today. 🤟🎸🔥🎸🔥
Tina S. is a great guitarist but she needs a lot more experience not only playing in a band but also playing a lot of gigs. There's a big difference playing along with a recording to playing a gig with a band.
Maybe this song should not be the first song to react, I think, but they love it and mind blowing 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 Guys, their new songs Judgement Day, Dissonance, other live songs head banger, Set The World On Fire, Break The Wall, The Hammer Of Wrath, Holy War, When Destinies Align(MV/LIVE), Shadow Maker(MV/LIVE), song cover Pain Killer(Judas Priest), Eagle Fly Free(Halloween) Next TOP Bands NEMOPHILA - Seize The Fate, Revive, Dissension, Raitei.. HANABIE(Japanese JINJER) - songs We Love Sweets, NEET GAME, Pardon Me... ASTERISM - songs Dawn, Rising Moon, Church, Blaze.. TRIDENT-JAPAN - songs Voltage, No Regret...
Thanks a lot for reacting to LOVEBITES which is my most favorite band. Actually two guitarist are literally genius. Please check this cover of Dragon Force by one of these guitarist MIYAKO. ua-cam.com/video/oJsH3zX05_c/v-deo.html
This kind of Metal isnt everyones favorite but you gotta hand it to Lovebites. They do what they do and have No Real Peers that I am aware of. Power/Speed/Thrash/Symphonic/etc...Combined Yikes!
Just when you thought you're a musician.... you watch LOVEBITES. 🤟🔥🤟🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺👍🙏
Great reaction from lovebites reaction mania

Absolutely talented artists who have been hardened by thousands of hours of practice - what a band - absolutely fantastic!
I seen them in Edinburgh and Newcastle UK on tour with with Dragon Force it was awesome also one of the roadies said that the drums and guitars have to go for therapy after every gig. HA HA.
lol
Heavy metal never be this beautiful ♥️🤘

Poor Dragonforce - take a support band on tour, then watch them become more popular than you. 😂
@@ChrisPage68 And Hermann Li tried to join them as well.
@@ChrisPage68 I respect Dragonforce for letting the wolves into the lair. A lot of bands would be too insecure to do that!
@@hiawatha.g Indeed. No shade thrown at them from me. You can hear his influence in Midori's playing in recent years.
It was worth watching just to see approx. 8 minutes of astonishment on the face of the dude in the back. I probably look like that every time I watch a Lovebites video, and I watch them every day. I recommend "Break the Wall" and "The Awakening/Hammer of Wrath" for further astonishment.

Thank you so much Martin. Good to know that we have similar taste. We will be checking out much more Lovebites in the future.
Great you have done another Lovebites track reaction.
Great song of Lovebites with great piano playing to. They released a new official video called "Judgement Day" and they are keep getting better and better. On the new song is their new basspalyer to, she called Fami and is a big young talent. Thanks for the great reaction 🤘
Glad that you got back to Lovebites -‘Overload on Awesomeness’ just about some it up!
Thank you for taking the time to respond to this great group. Make sure you continue your journey in discovering this group but bring your reactions closer. You have about 50 titles to discover and if you do them every 4 months in 10 years you will still be there.
In 10 years Lovebites' album titles would have gone through the alphabet if there's a live and studio each year, they're already on 'J'.
Besides this, Lovebitz has a wonderful song with piano and ballet called "A furozen serenade".
It also covers Judas Priest and Halloween songs.
Love Bites play such beautiful songs, but their latest song "Dissonance" is so brutal that it's hard to believe they're from the same band.
I have never heard anyone other than Love Bites perform an unthinkable variety of music at a high level.
ラブバイツには、これの他に「A furozen serenade」と言う、ピアノとバレエが加わった素晴らしい曲が有ります。

Thanks for the reaction! LOVEBITES are the GODDESSES of heavy metal ! In 2018 , LOVEBITES won the prestigious Metal Hammer GOLDEN GODS Award for "Best New Band" (London,UK). The winners of the GOLDEN GODS Award in different years and in various categories were such famous bands and musicians,such as : Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Motörhead, Twisted Sister, Ozzy Osbourne, Lemmy Kilmister, Zakk Wylde, Nikki Sixx, Joe Perry, Judas Priest, Anthrax, Slayer, Saxon, Nightwish, Rammstein, Sabaton, Children of Bodom, Arch Enemy (and this is not a complete list).
LOVEBITES is a Japanese all-female heavy metal band, formed in 2016 by former Japanese heavy metal band DESTROSE members Miho( bass,backing vocals) and Haruna(drums). The band has successfully performed at various major international rock-festivals many times .In the spring of 2018, LOVEBITES performed on the Japanese leg of the Warped Tour. In August 2018, they performed at Wacken Open Air (Germany), becoming the first Japanese all-female rock band to perform at the festival. Also in August 2018 they performed on the main stage of Bloodstock Open Air (UK). In 2019, LOVEBITES performed at the Download Festival in Donington (UK) and Download Festival in Madrid (Spain). Their performance in Donington was named by the festival organizers and Metal Hammer magazine as one of the highlights of the festival! In the same year they performed at the Graspop Metal Meeting (Belgium) and the Summer Sonic Festival (Japan). Unfortunately, the Covid pandemic that began in 2020 prevents LOVEBITES from performing at festivals and forced a drastic reduction of concerts.
LOVEBITES is a phenomenal band, all the ladies are talented musicians! Over 5 years (2017-2021) they have recorded about 50 original songs and all the songs are very good ! In February 2023, the 4th studio album "Judgement Day" will be released ( + 10 new songs).
🐺Miho - bass, backing vocals (in August 2021 she left the band).
🐺Haruna - drums.
🐺Midori - guitars, backing vocals.
🐺Miyako (Mi-Ya)- guitars, piano, keyboards, backing vocals.
🐺Asami - lead vocals, piano.
🐺Fami - bass (since October 2022).
🐺Miho has been playing the piano since the age of 5. She started playing the bass guitar at school. Great bass player! The fact that such a wonderful band appeared is, first of all, the merit of Miho. She came up with the idea of starting a band and what kind of music the band would play. It's a mix of power metal and "old school" heavy metal . Miho brought these talented ladies together in LOVEBITES.
🐺Haruna has played drums since she was thirteen years old, she also plays keyboards. Haruna is the smallest (4 '9 ") , but appearances are deceiving. When Haruna sits down at the drums, this is the "little BIG Engine." She is one of the best drummers in Japan.
🐺Midori (blond hair) has been playing the piano since she was two years old and the electric organ since she was eight. She started studying guitar at the age of 20. Super guitarist, "Crazy Shredder". She surpasses many male guitarists in speed and technique of playing the guitar.
Graduated from ESP / MI JAPAN ( Osaka ) , GIT-DX department (superfast guitar department). ESP / MI JAPAN is an International Music Institute , headquartered in Hollywood, California, USA.
🐺Miyako (black hair) has been playing the piano since the age of three, received a classical education (piano) and wanted to pursue a career as a pianist. She has been playing the guitar since the age of 18. Super guitarist! They call her "The Golden Touch" and she is a real musical genius. Miyako is the main composer of the band, she wrote 50% of the music.
* In terms of teamwork , synchronization / harmonization of guitars , Midori and Miyako today are perhaps the best pair of guitarists in the world playing metal. One music critic said that two guitarists of this level (Midori and Miyako) in the same band is a crime!😊
🐺Asami started with R&B and soul music . She studied classical ballet for about 16 years (this is noticeable in her movements on stage, especially the movements of her hands). Started ballet lessons at the age of two. After leaving school, Asami lived for some time in the US, where she came to study jazz and hip hop dance. Plays the piano. Asami wrote most of the lyrics of the band's songs.
🐺Fami is 20 years old, plays bass, keyboards, guitar, writes songs, sings. She has already released her solo album, which she dedicated to graduating from school. Despite his youth, Fami has experience of collaboration with famous musicians..
All songs LOVEBITES are written in English. Unlike other metal bands, LOVEBITES are always on stage in white dresses . White dresses are their style. The Wolf is the mascot of LOVEBITES and is featured on all band's albums except the first EP "The Lovebites". The band's fans call themselves the 🐺Wolfpack🐺
It was epic. Talented musicians with its fine art. I'm impressed too at first watching them🤯.. react more of them..thanks guys
Great reaction. I don’t know names, but guy in the middle, at the back, your face was an absolute picture throughout the whole performance. Miyako is a prodigy, who someone described as a “dangerous” musician because her understanding of music is extremely finely tuned.
On the 22nd the new Lovebites album “Judgement Day” will become a milestone in metal history. Think Sgt Pepper. There is nobody even close to them, and next Wednesday they’ll have disappeared over the horizon.
I'm in the mood to metal on out.... proceeds to play chopin etude
Welcome back and thank you for doing this reaction to lovebites again, LOVEBITES ROCK
Speechless! 🤣 I know it . I was so 🤣
The great reaction, I enjoy it.
Thank you for the great reaction!! These ladies leave me speechless every time!! Such an amazing band!! 🤘🐺🤘
For the lady in the pink hat, you are right!! Miyako uses Dean guitars, Peavey head and Orange cab. Midori ESP guitars, Kemper head, Marshall cab!!
Rock on!
Since you're pretty much starting new with this band, Asami is the lead singer, Miyako on the piano and guitar, Midori on guitar, Miho on bass here, and Haruna on drums. Miho left the band in 2021. Fami was announced as the new bassist a recently, try Judgement Day to see her.
The band is named after the Grammy winning Halestorm song, Love Bites (So DO I). Asami has joined Halestorm onstage performing that song.
Awesome to see you checking out another Lovebites track, and that you enjoyed them so much....Icertainly hope this leads to more of their music on your channel in the near future!! I personally think their music is incredible and would dearly love for them to have even more worldwide exposure! All 5 of these ladies (including the new bassist, Fami, are very talented individually. but what they do together is truly special and almost all lyrics are quite uplifting! Hope you can get Animal to join you for the nest listen of Lovebites as he should not miss out on Haruna's playing! Cheers all!
This is pure perfection. Her musical abilities are virtuosic. Be sure the watch their newer video Judgement Day with the new bassist.
Crepe Myrtle roots? dang.. those are tough!
This band has no Peer!🤘🤘All of their work is like this, amazing. They'll have over 60 songs when the new Album "Judgment Day" comes out in a few days 2/22/2023.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for coming back to them. I know you weren't fond of the Holy War lyrics and thought they were into dark lyrics, not the case and tried to make a compelling story to you which unfortunately failed at the time so very glad you are giving them another shot. Their talent is off the charts. Here are some recommendations with positive / uplifting lyrics.

All of their music is terrific, this is to give you a start. Thank you again for reacting to Lovebites!
Im sure a few people have already said Miyako has been playing piano since around 4 years old, but she didn't start playing guitar until she was almost 19. She never took proper lessons and learned how to play from an instructional book. She's also a big fan of Dimebag Daryl (RIP), which I think might be why she plays Dean. Whats kind of funny is she looks so serious in these videos but she has a very bubbly, humble and outgoing personality, which comes out on her personal YT channel. The musicianship of this whole band is incredible. For your next song, I would suggest "Scream For Me", the version from the 'Live From Abyss' DVD, which was a live rehearsal session broadcast during COVID. The production is great, and the song ends with a minute and half of Midori and Miyako trading killer guitar solos. The entire DVD is incredible, but whatever you decide next, you can't go wrong. These ladies have a catalog that's definitely worth going through.
Check this out: Not only Miyaco (guitarist, pianist, composer) is a Dean artist that has her own signature guitar, Orange Amps made those white amps specially for her, and those are only sold in Japan 😉. Orange in LOVEBITES white!

"Frozen Serenade" is another masterpiece from these ladies that you should seriously consider checking out.
When you talked of Dragonforce, I seen them live on a UK tour with Lovebites Nov 2019 in Manchester!
When I was in school. The Teacher had a paddle on the wall. Printed on it was. People are like canoes. Paddle by the rear, they steer better. She knew how to use it and used it often. It had holes drilled in that made it hurt worse left welts on your butt. I’ll never forget her. She was one of my best teachers and one of the strictest. No one got away with anything in her classroom. If you didn’t do your homework. You got to paddle. She didn’t fool around. Didn’t take any excuses. It was yes ma’am. No ma’am. Everyone sat up straight. And you better have been in the hospital if you didn’t show up for school.
The good ole days!
You mentioned Lovebites and Dragon Force touring together. They already have. Lovebites opened for Dragon Force on their UK tour in 2019. There are a couple of videos where Dragon Force had the ladies of Lovebites join them on stage and Herman Li was introduced as the 6th member of Lovebites and he came out wearing a white dress. Check them out
I bet that was a sight and a sound to die for. lol

For “Swan Song” Miyako combined elements of two of her favorite classics: Chopin’s “Revolutionary Etude” and Dvorak’s “New World Symphony” 🎹🔥🎸🎹🤟🐺

Thank you Ponyboy. We'll check it out.
LOVEBITES - Swan Song lyrics:
If this was the last day you could live on this earth
Would you still go on, accusing someone for today
It’s better to fail than not do anything at all
It is not the length, but depth of life that counts
Oh brave soldier
Oh gallant warrior
Valor to those who died in battle to Valhalla
Believe what’s in your soul
For death will come to all
You shall rest peacefully in God’s Heaven
Floating lotus
You are so graceful
Saintly and glorious
Till the end of time
Floating lotus
You are so beautiful
Sing me your sweet song
The legend of the swan
If you’ve never hoped, you’ve never been though despair
Ignorance is bliss, it’s easier to not care
You might think it’s meaningless to sacrifice a life
Sometimes the life of one can save so many more
Oh brave soldier
Oh gallant warrior
Valor to those who died in battle to Valhalla
Believe what’s in your soul
For death will come to all
You shall rest peacefully in God’s Heaven
Floating lotus
You are so graceful
Saintly and glorious
Till the end of time
Floating lotus
You are so beautiful
Sing me your sweet song
The legend of the swan
SOLO: miyako / both
Floating lotus
You are so graceful
Saintly and glorious
Till the end of time
Floating lotus
You are so beautiful
Sing me your sweet song
The legend of the swan
SOLO: midori

Greatest metal band on the planet right now, in my opinion. So amazing. I very highly suggest Thunder Vengeance (live from Zepp), Break the Wall (live from Zepp) and Set the World on Fire (live from 2021). If you want something more like this one, with the piano, try Frozen Serenade. If you want a pretty amazing 80s sort of rock style, try Empty Daydream. Great vocal harmonies there. I love this band.
🐺🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Behold, the power of Miyako! ❤
Great reactions...thank you, and you did not interupt the song once, like too many do. But this band are beyond mere words and this song is an absolute masterpiece of writing and playing, and I think it was written by Miyako. Her piano playing is just incredible, and her finger tapping guitar solo, well, no other words needed. And when the others join in just listen to Haruna's drumming, her double kicking is stupendous, and she only has 2 feet. But the other members, Midori on lead guitar, Asami's vocals and Miho bring everything together to make a glorious unmatched song.
Miyako Magic! 🤘🐺🤘
LOVEBITES⚡️🤘🐺🤘⚡️
I luv it when Southerners react to Japanese all girl metal bands.
0:27 That is how some other countries write the dates - day, month, year. They put them in the correct order. It is the USA that gets the order incorrect by writing them out month, day, year.
Miyako, is one of the best musicians out there. Everyone in Lovebites is an incredibly good musician. They are so talented.
Hey y’all, up late
The last update I got was February 14 at 12:40 which said that the package has been checked and approved by customs. Should be with you any day now. I sent you an email with all the info I have got.
Yes we read it, but it hasn't arrived yet. Can't wait to try it. We all love cheese. We saved a pack of crackers just for that.
@@2ndhandsoulsmusic
Hope it arrives before the livestream so you all can enjoy it.
Finally you got to it, but where your drummer????
Music by Miyako, piano, guitar; Lyrics by Asami, vocals. Miyako also does her arrangements. FYI, Miyako does not like the that Roland, it's electronic and has plastic keys. She has a Yamaha Grand at home in her studio.
The ladies have already performed with Dragon Force while on tour with them. There are even videos on YT.
They now have a new bassist, Fami, that you can preview by checking out her MV "Alien Alien". Then the new Lovebites MV "Judgement Day".
It is said that "Rock was invented in America, raised in England, and perfected in Japan." Rock is dead! It is said that rock is alive in Japan.There are many great rock bands in Japan.
Also, welcome back to Lovebites… next song for you guys is Break the Wall live
... and to think you haven’t hear the new basist yet. She’s on another level. Marcian level.
Thank you for more LOVEBITES! I believe your appreciation will increase if you listen with headphones (on your own if not during 'reaction') to grasp all that is happening within any given song. The complexity & precision in their arrangements & performances is difficult to fully understand upon 'first pass' especially listening with speakers.

You have to keep reacting to these girls, you will see how talented they are. You like ballads, Gary Moore style, then react to the song "Epilogue", you like the most powerful heavy, then I suggest the songs "Awakening The hammer of wrath" and "Raise some hell" you like heavy songs, mixed with fairy tales "Frozen Serenade" and "Edge of the world" and for you to see how versatile these girls are the songs "Dancing wirh the devil" and "Rising" a spectacular video clip.
Brother behind you, I know how you feel
they did go out and perform with Dragonforce
please go for A Frozen Serenade . Lovebites other level of musicians .
Here small link to Herman in a dress joining 😂😂 ua-cam.com/video/mWVwdGi9ixI/v-deo.html and yes J Smoor wants more !! (That rhymes)
Lovebites and Dragonforce HAVE actually appeared together in the UK - this was a bit of fun - " Farming Simulator " - ua-cam.com/video/KnGPZxfOAmg/v-deo.html
Please continue with your journey 🐺! Break the Wall, live, 2020, or Set the World on Fire, live , 2021, 🤘🐺🤘🔥
They supported Dragonforce on their tour a few years back. Sadly, I missed it. I consider myself to be very lucky living in London as I was able to see my favourite 'Nightwish' at Wembley in November - I've just bought tickets for Sabaton/Babymetal in April at Wembley again. I'm seeing 'Beast in Black' next Monday (who supported Nightwish - Yannis the lead singer has done wonderful Nightwish covers of GLS and Sahara, definitely worth checking out!) I'm not sure if you take recommendations here , but I'd like to point you in the direction of a Symphonic Metal band from Germany called 'Beyond the Black' , Jennifer Haben, the lead singer has had the seal of approval from none other than Floor so I would hope you give them some love. I recommend a song called 'Hallelujah' - the best audio quality is at a live festival in Japan. 'Winter is coming' is a great video. 'Songs of Love and Death' , 'A million light years', 'Is there anybody out there' and 'In the shadows' are some of the highlights! Well, as always, take good care of yourselves 😃
Another Japanese female band you might want to check out is Nemophila. These girls can sing and play. The tune "Monsters" recorded live is very impressive î. Also Band Maid's live performance of "Freedom". They're perhaps the most popular J Rock band. Also Jimmy Page's favorite band
They're a famous low-end band.
Now do Lovebites - Dissonance. Super heavy and thrashy.
Nice reaction guys… you guys must react to a group called Asterism… a three piece Japanese band with an incredible talent… recommend a song called Dawn live 2019
Wolfpack 🤘
Tina Setkic is an amazing young guitarist, but Midori and Miyako are on a completely different level! They are on the level of Downing and Tipton from Judas Priest and Murray and Smith from Iron Maiden! M&M are one of the best metal guitar duo’s today. 🤟🎸🔥🎸🔥
Tina S. is a great guitarist but she needs a lot more experience not only playing in a band but also playing a lot of gigs. There's a big difference playing along with a recording to playing a gig with a band.
Maybe this song should not be the first song to react, I think, but they love it and mind blowing 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Guys, their new songs Judgement Day, Dissonance, other live songs head banger,
Set The World On Fire, Break The Wall, The Hammer Of Wrath, Holy War, When Destinies Align(MV/LIVE), Shadow Maker(MV/LIVE), song cover Pain Killer(Judas Priest), Eagle Fly Free(Halloween)
Next TOP Bands
NEMOPHILA - Seize The Fate, Revive, Dissension, Raitei..
HANABIE(Japanese JINJER) - songs We Love Sweets, NEET GAME, Pardon Me...
ASTERISM - songs Dawn, Rising Moon, Church, Blaze..
TRIDENT-JAPAN - songs Voltage, No Regret...
They've already done Holy War, but it's quite a while ago.
Thanks a lot for reacting to LOVEBITES which is my most favorite band. Actually two guitarist are literally genius. Please check this cover of Dragon Force by one of these guitarist MIYAKO. ua-cam.com/video/oJsH3zX05_c/v-deo.html
If you haven't already then you should react to Frozen Serenade (with subs)
ua-cam.com/video/sEjN7dAh4ok/v-deo.html
try "when destinies align" by lovebites also
This kind of Metal isnt everyones favorite but you gotta hand it to Lovebites. They do what they do and have No Real Peers that I am aware of. Power/Speed/Thrash/Symphonic/etc...Combined Yikes!
That Roland is $10k ! and Miyako doesn't like it at all.
