Once you've seen enough of their live videos, you'll come to realize that their stage movements (even facial expressions) are based on the tone of the song.
What you have to remember is that Miyako is a concert level trained classical pianist who decided in her very late teens to TEACH HERSELF to play guitar . Midori too didn't start playing guitar until her late teens - which makes everything you hear from them even more awesome ( if that's possible ) BTW - as others have said you really should check out the 2020 live version of this with the Chopin intro - it's on another level ! ENJOY !
Yeah even more Awesome seems impossible, but the more I learn the more I realize their leve of awesomness. Also yes, I was looking for the 2020 version, but it was not on their YT channel, which is a bummer but I have seen it elsewhere and will check it out.
@@DaneBramageROCKScheck the 2020 out, for me it is the best version, I watched this concert streamed live in July 2020 and that particular song just blew me away! 😎🤟

Great reaction and welcome back to Lovebites ! Miyako played Chopin on the piano as an intro to this song, which is not included to this video. You may want to check out the 2020 version as well which has the Chopin intro.

To purchase Lovebites Blurays, I use CD Japan. They are user friendly to overseas buyers (far more so than Victor Entertainment's shop, as you may have discovered!) The freight charges are a bit steep, however DHL delivered Knockin at Heaven's Gate Part II to me in Australia just 2 days after the release date, and in time for Christmas, which was pretty cool. Nice reaction, cheers.

In 1831, some officers and citizens rose up against the Polish government, which was under the de facto control of the Russian Empire, in what was called the "November Revolution" but ended in failure due to the direct intervention of Russian troops. Chopin received this news during a performance tour. He never set foot on the soil of his homeland again. When the Russians invaded Warsaw, Chopin's agent presented "Etude OP10, No. 12" in Paris. Because of the agent's exaggerated publicity, people called this piece "Revolutionary Etude. Miyako composed "Swan Song" based on this "Revolutionary Etude" and Dvorak's "New World Symphony. Asami (vocalist), a former ballerina, wrote the lyrics based on the historical background of "Revolutionary Etude" and inspired by Norse mythology and the ballet suite "Swan Lake. "SwanSong" is a requiem dedicated to the warriors who fought to reclaim their homeland, a masterpiece that only LOVEBITES could complete.
This is awesome and exactly what I was looking for. I am a huge fan of historical reference music (I closely follow a band who does songs strictly based on war ; ) and I am here for it) Thanks so much for the information!
For me, the best version of this song is that of 2020 live show in Tokio, more epic. If you want to watch some more about Miyako piano: this year "Lost in the garden" (with Miyako's classic intro on piano: "La campanella" and then one surprise of Asami), their considered the masterpiece, from all people: "Frozen serenade" (always live 2021) and the only Miyako cover on piano: Eagle fly free (Helloween) Tank you!

excellent reaction, welcome back to the LOVEBITES, Miyako is a pianist who also plays guitar and even if she wants drums and bass, she is also a composer (the swan song is hers), she can play 2 instruments at the same time (see burden of time ) she has a son a husband and in her spare time she also goes fishing 😊💙
Thank you and Thank You!! Yeah that is on me, I totally forgot she was a pianist first, but then again. upon my initial discovery, it was a firehose to the face learning about them. I get little bits here and there and this I can manage, LOL.
Great reaction. On the DVD/BR just before Swan Song starts, Miyako plays a Chopin piano solo that sets up Swan Song brilliantly, which is how it was done at the 2020 show. One other thing to note - Asami trained for years in ballet and she brings a bit of "Swan Lake" into her movements during the performance. LOVEBITES have done a ballad Epilogue live 2019 (with subs) ua-cam.com/video/JIAJYBuuKGM/v-deo.html. I also suggest you check out the epic - Edge of the World ua-cam.com/video/UZjxMjBop7w/v-deo.html.
Thank you so much. This one was AWESOME! I heard about Chopin, got it saved to check out and I wish this one was on their channel, but that's ok. Thanks for the links, I'll jump on it! Cheers.
Thank you for your reaction and your support for Lovebites. Welcome to the world of Lovebites. It will be a very wonderful journey for you if you continue. You will not be disappointed with any of their songs you listen to next time. ;) Next time I would suggest We the United song (Unofficial Wolfpack anthem) -> ua-cam.com/video/pdXVx-0V0ew/v-deo.html
Each new Lovebites song becomes the most beloved. This is the law! This was a good reaction! You should definitely watch the version with Shopin intro. I think it's better mixed. The piano can be heard the entire time Miyako plays. In the latest video "M.D.O." all the ladies are having fun, and even the ice queen Miyako is incredibly energetic. But if you want to listen to real metal ballads, you should watch their live videos "Edge of the world" and "Epilogue". Thank you for your reaction. It was interesting. More Lovebites on the channel!

Many people will say that the 2020 version swan song is better. But I also like this 2023 version. This is the first live performance after the hiatus and with new member fami. The members are filled with joy and are exploding with emotion as they are able to perform in front of the audience again. Their playing ability has also improved. It's fun to see fami's cheerful characters as well. 2020 live was held just before founder miho left the band, and at a time when live performances were going to be difficult due to the epidemic. It is suitable for singing songs mourning death. asami's ballet performance is beautiful with suppressed emotion. And the mix balance is also great.
As I've been told. Miako is a piano virtuoso first and foremost. As she been playing since she was a very little girl. Someone said she begun play guitarr as she was like 18 years old. So her musicality is just out of bounds. Someone also said she plays a cuple more instruments too. And since Miho the old basist quited Miako writes most of the music too. Correct me if Im wrong Wolfpack... Then we have the former Ballerina on Lyrics and vocals. The bodybuilding fittness shredding lady Midori. Haruna one of the best female drummers in the world. And the exceptional multi skilled basist Fami ... Just... Watta amazing band... Theres just so incredibly much to like about them. Not to mention their all lovely personalities...
Asami floats over this song like an angel, while M&M are cranking out a thrash riff that would rip your face off normally, but they make it sound so melodic. This version with Fami on bass has a better bass tone than prior versions with Miho, but I've been thinking this for a while now on the recent releases. No disrespect intended, it's a style thing I guess. And the ever adorable Haruna is just a powerhouse. But, the mix on the piano isn't up to the standard from the Five Of A Kind version... BTW, I thought the same thing during the solo, when Miyako looks up at Asami! 🤣
Well stated. After learning the meaning behind the song, I now understand the mood and then tempo and have mad respect for it! Thanks for the comment and support!
I think japanese record labels are pretty strict on copyright and things. They don't see the value in people like you reacting and introducing new listeners to bands. Shortsighted in my opinion, but they rule I suppose... This song...I think I love it so much because it reminds me so much of the best of the 80s metal - the main riff, the solos, the tempo. It's like 80s Maiden or Priest. Brings me back to my early 20s.
IT is true, but, even though I do not get monetized it gives this channel some attention and subscribers. So in a way, I get some support but I am here for the artist I like and support what they are doing. Growing an audience always helps. With that being said, they (Japanese labels) are getting better at letting videos view.
Asami, Asami, sing me your sweet song, Asami!!!! You will not find many better live vocal performances than this. Asami did get a bit lost in the moment before the guitar solo, and you can see a near collision with Fami as a result. I can't blame her, though!
MIYAKO has released a solo album on the keys also plenty of MVs on youtube also... 🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺💪🤘🤘🤘🤘 On their webpage just right click anywhere and click translate page...
Why Lovebites, their mgmt. / engineers didn't include the Chopin intro and have the piano and guitar mix at proper levels is puzzling! (Maybe Miyako made a slight mistake as she did in the outro. Does anyone have footage of this concert with the Swan intro? - probably not being Japan rules). In any case, what an awesome song and performance with Fami! (I'm sure Fami is why they used this version). Here’s the better mixed version with the Chopin intro: ua-cam.com/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/v-deo.html Thx, Dane!
It is wise decision to exclude Chopin intro there are few mistakes in the second runs. The mix is fine it is possible that Miyako wanted it sounds like acoustic grand piano just like what happened in HMND 2021
@@dino.mozardien Interesting! However, the mix is low when she comes back to the piano near the outro, and with her guitar solo, imo. Maybe I'm too picky with this amazing band. I'm like that with Band-Maid, The Warning, and Jinjer, too! ;-)
They are all a bit subdued in this because it is a song about the tragedies of war. You can't expect them to all be laughing & jumping around. Not really a ballsd. If you want to see them do a real ballad have a look at them do 'Epilogue' live. the best power rock ballad I have ever seen in all my 65 years. As a contrast, when you react to M.D.O. which has just been released, you will see them all running around & laughing and reacting with each other. A totally different vibe.
Now you know why Miyako has the nickname 'The Golden Touch'. Even though she may look bored at times, I actually believe she just FEELS music totally different than most of us. I have a strong feeling you might like 'A Frozen Serenade' (VideoID "Ae8pQVu-RN8" with lyrics embedded) and 'Edge Of The World' (VideoID "UZjxMjBop7w", with lyrics as an option) as both songs also show a quite different side of LB. :) Both videos are not from their official channel, but believe me, it's worth it! _____________________ _"America invented rock. England improved it. And now, Japan has perfected it."_ 🔥🤘🏻 ※ Band-Maid ※ Gacharic Spin ※ Lovebites ※ Nemophila ※ East of Eden ※ Hanabie ※ Asterism ※ Trident ※ etc.
As much as I like this version, I think the previous live version is better (link below). Not only does it have the Chopin intro, it also lets you hear Miyako when she jumps back on the piano at the end of the track. For some weird reason, you can't hear Miyako's piano at the end until all other instruments stop playing. ua-cam.com/video/dcMVtrvpJpk/v-deo.html
It doesn't sound like a pop, of cause this is based on The New World of Dovolzark. You are right, this is a kind of failed version in postproduction mixing, you can hardly hear the piano. Like everybody says you should try the 2020 version. Here's the link to it ua-cam.com/video/dcMVtrvpJpk/v-deo.html. You don't have to react to it again but for your own sake you should watch this video. if you another phenomenal piano solo + an insane metal, try Campanella + Lost In The Garden ua-cam.com/video/ZCQmSutU3uU/v-deo.html.
Just so you don't have to search much I thought I'd give you the link to the 2020 live version with Chopin intro ua-cam.com/video/dcMVtrvpJpk/v-deo.html
This is awesome!! If I had a dollar for every time this version or song was shared, I would not care about not being monetized for this video, LOL! Thanks so much for sharing this!
I like this version but sadly the mix fucked up at the end with the piano .... only explanation ... there was no recording from the piano ... the mix was in early version much better at this part
@@DaneBramageROCKS The 2020 version has been up for two yrs & hundreds of reactors have reacted to that version.....I was all excited that Victor was uploading an official version, only to be let down. 😏♥️🎙🎸🎹🥁😎🤘

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 through despair
Ignorance is bliss, it’s easier to never 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

This is an overview of LOVEBITES 55 self-written songs and 3 covers (plus 6+1 covers by band members) with your reactions all marked with a star (*). All of them are good, no weak song, no fillers. Enjoy your ride!
Whoa!! This might take a while!! Good news is I have already done some of those * suggestions!! I try to pull form the LOVEBITES YT channel as it is, but I will keep this handy. Thank You. 🤘🐺Keep on Rockin' 🐺🤘
excellent reaction, welcome back to the LOVEBITES, Miyako is a pianist who also plays guitar and even if she wants drums and bass, she is also a composer (the swan song is hers), she can play 2 instruments at the same time (see burden of time ) she has a son a husband and in her spare time she also goes fishing 😊💙
Thank you and Thank You!! Yeah that is on me, I totally forgot she was a pianist first, but then again. upon my initial discovery, it was a firehose to the face learning about them. I get little bits here and there and this I can manage, LOL.
@@DaneBramageROCKS By the way, the Ingopek character you banned is back with a 5487 ending. Watch out - multiple troll accounts.
@@mmcpa oh my goodness. OK, Thank you. I'm on it.
Great reaction. On the DVD/BR just before Swan Song starts, Miyako plays a Chopin piano solo that sets up Swan Song brilliantly, which is how it was done at the 2020 show. One other thing to note - Asami trained for years in ballet and she brings a bit of "Swan Lake" into her movements during the performance. LOVEBITES have done a ballad Epilogue live 2019 (with subs) ua-cam.com/video/JIAJYBuuKGM/v-deo.html. I also suggest you check out the epic - Edge of the World ua-cam.com/video/UZjxMjBop7w/v-deo.html.
Thank you so much. This one was AWESOME! I heard about Chopin, got it saved to check out and I wish this one was on their channel, but that's ok. Thanks for the links, I'll jump on it! Cheers.
Thank you for your reaction and your support for Lovebites. Welcome to the world of Lovebites. It will be a very wonderful journey for you if you continue. You will not be disappointed with any of their songs you listen to next time. ;)
Next time I would suggest We the United song (Unofficial Wolfpack anthem) -> ua-cam.com/video/pdXVx-0V0ew/v-deo.html
Thank you so much and it is my pleasure! WHOA, and Unofficial anthem, I mean, I kind of have to eh?! On it, thank you.
Each new Lovebites song becomes the most beloved. This is the law! This was a good reaction!
You should definitely watch the version with Shopin intro. I think it's better mixed. The piano can be heard the entire time Miyako plays.
In the latest video "M.D.O." all the ladies are having fun, and even the ice queen Miyako is incredibly energetic.
But if you want to listen to real metal ballads, you should watch their live videos "Edge of the world" and "Epilogue".
Thank you for your reaction. It was interesting. More Lovebites on the channel!
Thank you so much! Yeah I had that link to Chopin sent to me a few times, LOL. All over it. Thanks so much for the support. 🤘🐺Keep on Rockin' 🐺🤘
You want to hear an excellent ballad by them find Epilogue from an earlier live show! So good!!
I'll check it out! Thank You!

Many people will say that the 2020 version swan song is better. But I also like this 2023 version.
This is the first live performance after the hiatus and with new member fami. The members are filled with joy and are exploding with emotion as they are able to perform in front of the audience again. Their playing ability has also improved. It's fun to see fami's cheerful characters as well.
2020 live was held just before founder miho left the band, and at a time when live performances were going to be difficult due to the epidemic. It is suitable for singing songs mourning death. asami's ballet performance is beautiful with suppressed emotion. And the mix balance is also great.
Yeah they each have their own special place for sure but, history always makes a great story. Especially for this group! 🤘🏻🐺 Keep on Rockin' 🐺🤘🏻
As I've been told. Miako is a piano virtuoso first and foremost. As she been playing since she was a very little girl. Someone said she begun play guitarr as she was like 18 years old.
So her musicality is just out of bounds.
Someone also said she plays a cuple more instruments too.
And since Miho the old basist quited Miako writes most of the music too.
Correct me if Im wrong Wolfpack...
Then we have the former Ballerina on Lyrics and vocals. The bodybuilding fittness shredding lady Midori. Haruna one of the best female drummers in the world.
And the exceptional multi skilled basist Fami ...
Just... Watta amazing band...
Theres just so incredibly much to like about them. Not to mention their all lovely personalities...
I have also heard this.
they just dropped M.D.O. from the same show - very animated and even myako moves , smiles and headbangs in that one
I saw that!! Talk about timing. I'll be getting to most of these for sure!
🤟🏻LOVEBITES🐺🎶MASTERCLASS🤘🏻

Wolfpack here.
Welcome to the channel 🤘🐺Keep on Rockin' 🐺🤘
Miyako it’s just amazing…
Asami floats over this song like an angel, while M&M are cranking out a thrash riff that would rip your face off normally, but they make it sound so melodic. This version with Fami on bass has a better bass tone than prior versions with Miho, but I've been thinking this for a while now on the recent releases. No disrespect intended, it's a style thing I guess. And the ever adorable Haruna is just a powerhouse. But, the mix on the piano isn't up to the standard from the Five Of A Kind version... BTW, I thought the same thing during the solo, when Miyako looks up at Asami! 🤣
Well stated. After learning the meaning behind the song, I now understand the mood and then tempo and have mad respect for it! Thanks for the comment and support!
I think japanese record labels are pretty strict on copyright and things. They don't see the value in people like you reacting and introducing new listeners to bands. Shortsighted in my opinion, but they rule I suppose...
This song...I think I love it so much because it reminds me so much of the best of the 80s metal - the main riff, the solos, the tempo. It's like 80s Maiden or Priest. Brings me back to my early 20s.
IT is true, but, even though I do not get monetized it gives this channel some attention and subscribers. So in a way, I get some support but I am here for the artist I like and support what they are doing. Growing an audience always helps. With that being said, they (Japanese labels) are getting better at letting videos view.
This is a masterpiece ❤❤❤❤
Truth!
Asami, Asami, sing me your sweet song, Asami!!!! You will not find many better live vocal performances than this. Asami did get a bit lost in the moment before the guitar solo, and you can see a near collision with Fami as a result. I can't blame her, though!
Yeah, not at all 🤘🐺Keep on Rockin' 🐺🤘

MIYAKO has released a solo album on the keys also plenty of MVs on youtube also... 🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺💪🤘🤘🤘🤘 On their webpage just right click anywhere and click translate page...
Nice. Yeah......I should have done that. LOL
A great song but the live version with Chopin intro I prefer. This one doesn't have as good of mix for the ending piano play by Miyako as well.
Yeah I have heard, I wish that version was on their channel but I have that video saved from someone elses.
Why Lovebites, their mgmt. / engineers didn't include the Chopin intro and have the piano and guitar mix at proper levels is puzzling! (Maybe Miyako made a slight mistake as she did in the outro. Does anyone have footage of this concert with the Swan intro? - probably not being Japan rules). In any case, what an awesome song and performance with Fami! (I'm sure Fami is why they used this version). Here’s the better mixed version with the Chopin intro: ua-cam.com/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/v-deo.html Thx, Dane!
Love it. People are sharing all the link. Gonna be a good evening! Thanks for the info and sharing, I am on it 🤘Keep on Rockin'🤘
@@DaneBramageROCKS 🙏
It is wise decision to exclude Chopin intro there are few mistakes in the second runs. The mix is fine it is possible that Miyako wanted it sounds like acoustic grand piano just like what happened in HMND 2021
@@dino.mozardien Interesting! However, the mix is low when she comes back to the piano near the outro, and with her guitar solo, imo. Maybe I'm too picky with this amazing band. I'm like that with Band-Maid, The Warning, and Jinjer, too! ;-)
They are all a bit subdued in this because it is a song about the tragedies of war. You can't expect them to all be laughing & jumping around. Not really a ballsd. If you want to see them do a real ballad have a look at them do 'Epilogue' live. the best power rock ballad I have ever seen in all my 65 years.
As a contrast, when you react to M.D.O. which has just been released, you will see them all running around & laughing and reacting with each other. A totally different vibe.
Yeah after learning about it, that makes total sense. Looking forward to M.D.O.
@@DaneBramageROCKS Cool. But be sure to take a look at 'Epilogue'. It will broaden your perceptual horizons about these women
@@785boats deal
@@DaneBramageROCKS Love it.
Now you know why Miyako has the nickname 'The Golden Touch'. Even though she may look bored at times, I actually believe she just FEELS music totally different than most of us.
I have a strong feeling you might like 'A Frozen Serenade' (VideoID "Ae8pQVu-RN8" with lyrics embedded) and 'Edge Of The World' (VideoID "UZjxMjBop7w", with lyrics as an option) as both songs also show a quite different side of LB. :) Both videos are not from their official channel, but believe me, it's worth it!

Check out MDO from the same Show. There you see Myako Headbanging 🙂
Yeah popped up on me yesterday, LOL. Right after I did this one. I'm on it!!
As much as I like this version, I think the previous live version is better (link below). Not only does it have the Chopin intro, it also lets you hear Miyako when she jumps back on the piano at the end of the track. For some weird reason, you can't hear Miyako's piano at the end until all other instruments stop playing. ua-cam.com/video/dcMVtrvpJpk/v-deo.html
yeah the Audio was not great on this one, but, I have seen the OG and agree!
Ha！Ha！Ha！
Why are you still up here？
I think so too！She is looks like a Queen of the Rock show more than anybody！I like her ！
😂 yeah that looks said it all. Incredible
2020 mix w/ Chopin intro is WAY better. I hope they remix their new stuff , so its as good 2020 stuff.
Yeah I have been shared that link a bunch! Passion is shared by all!
It doesn't sound like a pop, of cause this is based on The New World of Dovolzark. You are right, this is a kind of failed version in postproduction mixing, you can hardly hear the piano. Like everybody says you should try the 2020 version. Here's the link to it ua-cam.com/video/dcMVtrvpJpk/v-deo.html. You don't have to react to it again but for your own sake you should watch this video. if you another phenomenal piano solo + an insane metal, try Campanella + Lost In The Garden ua-cam.com/video/ZCQmSutU3uU/v-deo.html.
Yeah I am on it, thanks for sharing the links. Got my afternoon all planned out, LOL. I appreciate the support. 🤘Keep on Rockin'🤘
@@DaneBramageROCKS You'll have a perfect afternoon. Enjoy!!
Just so you don't have to search much I thought I'd give you the link to the 2020 live version with Chopin intro ua-cam.com/video/dcMVtrvpJpk/v-deo.html
This is awesome!! If I had a dollar for every time this version or song was shared, I would not care about not being monetized for this video, LOL! Thanks so much for sharing this!
I like this version but sadly the mix fucked up at the end with the piano .... only explanation ... there was no recording from the piano ... the mix was in early version much better at this part
It's true. And I agree!
I love this song, but not this version ! It aggravates me to no end.😢
The audio was not great, at least nothing compared to the 2020 version. But, support the band none the less
@@DaneBramageROCKS The 2020 version has been up for two yrs & hundreds of reactors have reacted to that version.....I was all excited that Victor was uploading an official version, only to be let down. 😏♥️🎙🎸🎹🥁😎🤘
