All of us should be grateful to be living in the era of Lovebites. After listening to metal music for more than 20 years now, i have never seen or heard a band that has no weak link or a bad song. These girls are pure gold. And if they are so good like this now, imagine how good they will be in 10 years. That is terrifying. AND I LOVE IT!
Let's hope that the money making "music machinery" hasn't discovered them as a worthwhile profit source. . . LOVEBITES need a lot of leeway to be creative and extraordinary. So they may need sponsors, patrons, followers - to keep them independent in a certain manner . . .
That was Metal perfection! Those riffs! Those harmonies (on vocals and guitars)! That breakdown! So much class, supreme musicianship and mesmerising stage presence from every beautiful member of this always astounding band. Thanks for this great reaction to THE best Metal band on Earth!
Amazing Miho & Miyako vocals harmonize, Asami melodic ballad voice, Miho heavy echoed bass, Haruna special pumping drumming and of course M&M guitar solo and harmonized. The main riff reminds of Micheal Jackson. This performance was full of stunning matter. Lovebites were a rare kind of metal band. Beautiful reaction guys, thanks 👍🤘🔥
Miyako's beautiful and haunting piano intro is Rachmaninoff's "Moment Musicaux Op. 16 No. 4 in E Minor". The main riff you heard in this song is derived from Michael Jackson's "Beat It". Jennifer Batten was MJ's session guitarist who performed with MJ on all 3 of his world tours in the '90s. Batten is one of Miyako's guitar influences and Miyako composed & arranged this track that included a derivation of that main riff as an homage to Batten.
Thanks guys, I'm now looking forward to Wednesdays! They usually drop late night here Down Under, so you must release them early. Empty Daydream was the song that first hooked me on Lovebites, from Miyako's Rachmaninoff intro, to the signature M&M solos, and especially the harmonised vocals. There was no turning back. 🤗🤟

I started listening to them in 2018 right before their 2nd album came out ...they only had like 15 songs at the time but they all were amazing to me...they're my favorite band of all time and it's not even close ...they have some of the most beautiful and powerful music i ever heard in my life

Complete Miyako magic throughout even her composition, well your have done your second song of the Lovebites "E" songs only one left and that's Epilogue
One of my favorites! Miyako’s piano intro and then Asami! ❤ Miho’s voice is amazing when she comes in. I really miss her voice in the other backing vocal songs they do, as it’s very strong, but this song goes beyond that with those vocal harmonies. Very beautiful. Miyako can really hit those high parts too! The lyrics to this song are fantastic as well. Strikes me as a song right out of the 80s.
I've been in on this band since 2016. Miho was somewhat subtle yet so Very important of soul,chemistry and drive for this band in it's beginnings. She imo was the most underrated part of the band. Her playing and style is World Class and her persona is the definition of Rocker. It's no secret those big bangers from some of their albums is Miho and her insistence on Heavier is Better. I do so miss her in this band but Fami is a personality and bassist that on her own is Top Tier World class even before Lovebites. Miho Imo is quite happy today though and she seems like the variety Jam bands that are popular in Japans Metal/Rock club scene keeps her Paid, Busy at her own pace and she makes all her own decisions. Also I dont think Midori gets enough credit for how Really Killer of a Monster player she is and How well she compliments Miyako. Midori plays those Neo Classical scales with liquid smooth fluent sweep and double and triple picking and then seamlessly transitions into the rhythm parts with extraordinary Technique and precision. I havent seen a Guitar duo this Proficient since RacerX with Paul Gilbert and Bruce Bouillet trading insanity level shred.
Yay it’s Lovebites Wednesday! I discovered this band a year ago and I have been listening to them everyday since then! Keep up the good work! Love from Canada! 🎸🥁🐺🤩❤️
"LOVEBITES" simply means: musically transferred emotion. . . direct, pristine, clear, unaltered. In a varicolored manner of eclectic top notch heavy metal, the world has never experienced before . . .
This is another LOVEBITES masterpiece. Wolfpack believes it's part of the 3E trilogy. Edge of the World, Empty Daydream and Epilogue are the 3 songs. In the beginning Midori, Miho and Miyako were part of the 3Ms. My daydream is for Miho to return to LOVEBITES. She can also play piano and sing back up. Who knows? Maybe she can even play rhythm guitar. Helloween and Iron Maiden have 3 guitar players. Epilogue is another masterpiece. You guys are going to be blown away by Miyako and Midori instruments played. You left out Asami's soulful vocals performance. She even looks beautiful in simpler white dresses. I love seeing her wear knee high white boots. Peace and LOVEBITES! 🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺
Happy LOVEBITES Wednesday everyone!!!! Thank you both, great reaction as always :) A beautifully crafted song, like so many (maybe all?) of their compositions. I'm always in awe of the way they seamlessly transition between the sections of all their songs, wondeerful journeys every time. I usually leave the suggestions to fellow members of the Wolfpack, but I could just whisper "Epilogue" under my breath this time.... Thank you so much for the love and support you show the girls, I'm soooo glad you love them as much as we all do! Keep up the graet work guys 💜💜 love to you both 🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺
Synco!! .. appreciate your awesome comments always! You have also supported the channel on several occasions! .. we are actually going to do epilogue and give you a shout out for supporting the channel! Keep tuning into Lovebites Wednesday as you are going to see it real soon! Much love from both of us! 💘
@@TJandTheGringa Aww thanks TJ and TG :) That's so nice of you. Not expected but much appreciated! I promise you will not be disapointed by Epilogue....but it's LOVEBITES so how could you be!!!!!
Awesome! One of my favorite "balads" from them. Fast or slow these ladies always deliver fantastic song writing!! Love the background vocals!! 🔥 Since you mentioned their guitar techniques, Midori went to music school, and Miyako is self-taught!! Cheers! 🤘
And again (of course) a brilliant song and magnetic performance by these Empresses of Metal. If you want to add happy moments to your life, all you need is Lovebites.
Thanks Jens for requesting one of my favorite Lovebites songs with two of my favorite reactors. Love the harmonizing by Miyako. All Lovebites songs are great. Thanks for this reaction. ❤🤘🔥🐺
ARIGATO for your Good Good Choice !! This is My Favorite Song. At the introduction, MIYAKO Plays Moment Musical No.4 by Rachmaninoff. She Lessoned the Classic Piano from Three years old.(She played the guitar from eighteen years old).
Thank you for your reaction to ❤️LOVEBITES❤.🙏 That's a great impression.👍🤗 Thank you for your continued support of LOVEBITES.🙏 "Moments Musicaux Op. 16 No. 4" by Sergei Rachmaninoff (Rachmaninoff) is incorporated into the prelude. Miyako-san added this piece to the prelude to Live in 2019. Miyako-san has also composed several other classically inspired songs, some of which incorporate a fusion of metal and classical music. The song "Empty Daydream" has a similar vibe to Michael Jackson's "Beat It" in parts. Love Bites' "Empty Daydream," I believe it was influenced by Michael Jackson's "Beat It" performed by JENNIFER BATTEN.🤔 Miyako-san later said that one of her Top 5 guitar heroes is Jennifer Batten. In "LIVE IN 2019" I prefer the addition of piano to the prelude of this song. 😊 Also, Miho-san&Miyako-san's backing chorus was very good on this day.👍💘❤️😆 Everyone's response has been positive, so please keep the LOVEBITES coming.🤗
As you're are obviously aware of, and said, they just don't have any bad or even average songs, they are either really good, great or another masterpiece, and the thing is that you can listen and/or watch any one of them time after time and more often that not hear something that you may have missed. And I know there are many great bands out there past and present, but these ladies are something special, I don't think anyone else but Fami could have stepped into Miho's shoes but she has fitted in perfectly. When I think about it, I find it difficult to believe that they don't have any songs that are just average album fillers, it's f##kin crazy how much talent they have between them, and I feel honoured to be alive to witness them, and seeing them live just put the icing on the cake. Always good to see genuine people who seem to know what you're talking about as well so kudos to yourselves and see you soon. 🤘🎤🎹🥁🎸🐺🇬🇧
Fantastic reaction as usual, Next on the list is Epilogue Lovebites slowest song Miyako changing instruments as usual, Haruna has a couple of fan cam song Golden destination and Raise some hell, also there is s song written by Miho about the death of her father where Miho crys in Asami arms the song is called Journey to the other side, so sad Hassan uk England
You guys really need to react to Journey To The Other Side. It's a very personal very emotional story to the song. Miho wrote it for dedicated it to her dad who had passed away shortly before at the age of 49. They only performed it once. Miho gets very emotional during the performance.
Seriously love this song, when I first started to buy Lovebites albums, after listening to many of their biggest songs on UA-cam, This song really stuck in my mind with that vocal hook, They already had me in many ways, but this song was just so amazing with that fantastic vocal harmonies.
This comes from "Daughters of the Dawn," their second Blu-ray and first to be released on its own. If I was the type to rank things, I'd rank Daughters last in overall quality among their live releases. That said, it has a lot of great moments, and "Empty Daydream" is the top among those moments. Everyone is on top of their game, their energy fits the song, the equipment is cooperating, everything is perfect for this one. Lastly, rest in peace to the venue where this was recorded, Mynavi Blitz Akasaka/Akasaka Blitz. It was shut down due to Covid. It also hosted the Black Fox, Red Fox, and Gold Fox Festival shows performed by the great Babymetal.
Hooray for LOVEBITES Wednesday! Strewth! I didn't realise that you haven't done the E songs. Oh well, I think you'll need the tissues when you do Epilogue. ☺☺
This song is from Lovebites - Daughters Of The Dawn - Live In Tokyo 2019 at MyNavi BLITZ Akasaka held on January 27. The setlist is: 1 - Clockwork Immortality 2 - Addicted 3 - Bravehearted 4 - The Crusade 5 - Pledge Of The Saviour 6 - Rising 7 - Scream For Me 8 - Break The Wall 9 - Shadowmaker 10- Above The Black Sea 11- Empty Daydream 12- M.D.O 13- Journey To The Otherside 14- Edge Of The World 15- We The United Encore: 16- Epilogue 17- Don't Bite The Dust 18- Under The Red Sky 19- The Everlasting
Thank you guys for your invigorating reactions! Just a little note on the side (seeing as I'm sure you would like to pronounce your supporter correctly): Jens being a German name, the "J" is pronounced differently - as you would say "Yens" in English.
Miyako is harmonizing quite regularly with Asami though it is not very often shown in the videos. Always quite nicely even after the key change at the end of this song ❤🇫🇷🤘🏻
again another great reaction you guys, see you next wednesday same time, same place, maybe give "warningshot" a listen from the battle in the east concert, than you can see Miyako smiling after her solo like: "yeah, nailed it" its fun to see 🤘🤘🤘
Love this song because of Miyako's vocals with the call and respond and the harmonies with Asami just so beautiful!!!!! Glad you guys did this one. Now you need to do (Epilogue)!!!!! Thank you for what you do!!!!!
Damn friend, this presentation in 2019 will be unforgettable. Miho's father had passed away and she dedicated this song to him. In one passage of the song she breaks down due to the painful memory, but being the professional she is, she moved on. "You are excellent, Rosana Miho." You are always in the heart of the wolf pack. Every time I see her, tears come to my eyes. I leave you the link, just make sure you have a scarf within reach friend: ua-cam.com/video/QPMCj6PiJFc/v-deo.html
Wait till you see them live! I'm hoping they come back over next year. The Mexico show is on my radar. Once again, great show, and you guys do an incredible job. I gotta have my "Lovebites Wednesdays". 🔥 🔥 🔥
Thanks again amazing Tequila duo. I don't know any other band with all the songs, to be good in their discography. Excellent song, I love when the band shows any side of them, they are so versatile. Just let you know on the previous reaction to the Miyako project i left a comment if you have not seen it, please check. Much love from London. Greetings.🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Just checked it out and responded to it. I read all the comments and then I usually go back and try to respond to as many as I can. Appreciate you always chiming in with awesome info!! 💗💗💗
For me, this performance has an almost Operatic feel. The music alone tells a story that's perfectly in sync with the lyrics. Its a beautifully written piece of music with every note and percussive accent having a purpose, imo. Then what's even more amazing with the vocals is the ladies flawlessly overcoming the major difference in cadence between Japanese and English to make the vocals and harmonies sound so natural. You wouldn't even know English isn't their native language. On another note, you said something about just watching Haruna drum, well there are a few videos of her that are just a drum cam views. I know you've already reacted to "Raise Some Hell" so here's a link to a video of Haruna playing it that's just drum cam views. Its from the same performance you reacted to (I think it was a DVD bonus cut). "Raise Some Hell" isn't their most complex song, but even on it you can see the work Haruna puts in, now imagine that times how many songs on a set list with each having complex accents and tempos. Its crazy to me how she keeps that bass drum so steady while doing so many different things with her arms. The woman is a machine! Enjoy! ua-cam.com/video/9Rpb1WCayIs/v-deo.htmlsi=gV2BHI-6rKeXtsxm
It is quite unusual with bands that do not have a bad or uninteresting song. Lovebites and Beatles comes to my mind. I think it has with the skills to pre-visualize what is good or not, and never release anything sub par.
Lovebites Wednesday is brought to you by Another Killer Track! There’s really nothing much you can say about these ladies! They are who we thought they are! I’ve no doubt if they came out in the 80’s, these ladies would be ruling the world of metal with Metallica and Iron Maiden. And I dare claim that they would be even bigger because they have a more appealing sound to just about every genre of listeners. Thank you guys for another great reaction! Always looking forward to Lovebites Wednesday. I know it will end at some point but with their tremendous volume of great songs, Lovebites Wednesday will last for a long time! ❤🐺
I really love this song; it showcases Asami’s vocals and Miho and Miyako excellent backing vocals, especially Miyako’s. I always love when Miyako plays the piano.
This performance should be used in music schools to teach how great music is done. One of my favorite performances I have ever seen and also one of my favorite vocal performances from Asami. Everything about this is next level! 🎹🎤🎸🥁🐺🤘
The intro by Miyako is a Rachmaninov piece. The riff reminds me of a Michael Jackson song BAD I think. Now you must listen to the final E song Epilogue teaser it has acoustic guitars.
The song "Empty Daydream" has a similar vibe to Michael Jackson's "Beat It" in parts. I thought so too until I heard the following, which was pointed out in other reactionary content on LOVEBITES. Reo Speedwagon "Back On The Road Again" released in 1979 (UA-cam channel "JoseCotdino").😲 However, in the case of Love Bites' "Empty Daydream," I believe it was influenced by Michael Jackson's "Beat It" (released in 1982) performed by JENNIFER BATTEN. Miyako later said that one of her Top 5 guitar heroes is Jennifer Batten. Good things are passed down.🤗
I really love how the guitar parts were written. During the first part of each verse Midori plays a straight 8th note rhythm while Miyako is playing open chords. Then during the chorus is changes. The back and forth solos were refreshing instead of a long one by each of them before they hook up with each other. And yes, there’s Haruna, the machine……but such a cute one. Miho and Miyako on vocals really enhanced this song.
Thank you LOVEBITES for a great song: ‼️ The LOVEBITES have the ability to play songs like this one, and that's what I like about them👍. The last part of the song, which modulates from an irregular guitar solo, gives me goosebumps 🔥. Thanks again!
To answer your question, LOVEBITES don't have any bad songs. They don't even have any mediocre songs. They only have good songs, great songs and masterpieces.
Thank you for another quality reaction... well worth the wait. ❤ When I heard Miyako's high harmonies I asked myself what she cannot do musically in Lovebites? 5 years, 3 live concerts and 1 tatoo later the answer is very obvious to me: almost nothing!
Jens!.. She is Amazing.. And someone just told me your name is pronounced "Yens" recently.. I'm sorry for mispronouncing it lol.. I was reading it like an American LOLOL.. We really appreciate you man..this was an amazing track and watching Miyako harmonize with Asami during the choruses was Magic!.. Much Love to you!.. Stay tuned for next week!
@@TJandTheGringa Next week she will blow your mind even more. ☺ Please have no worries because I am used to it since I grew up with American soldiers and their families who were stationed near my home-town in Northern Germany. You got it right though... think YANKEES, drop the KEES and add an S. 🤣
If one is really paying attention, there is one member that is singing harmonies with Asami in many of the tracks, that would be Miyako. The other members do gang or back up vocals.
I'm pretty sure Jens was referring to Miyako's 'harmonies' at the end of each chorus. If you watch and listen closely during the chorus, Miho sings the first two lines of call and response with Miyako, *but* her voice drops out on the harmonies (you can see her turn away from the mic in the 2nd chorus). Lovebites has several songs with 'gang' vocals, but there are solo backing vocals (often too low in the mix) on many videos, with harmonies, always done by Miyako. One of the underappreciated facets of Miyako's musical talent is her ability sing _high harmonies_ over Asami's voice.
Much appreciated! Took me some time to realize, that it's Miyako's voice (not only in this song), but now I can hear it just from the sound. Together it sounds awesome with these harmonies!
I'm a Maidiac but do enjoy Lovebites (saw them in London this year) and your reactions. The world of Japanese rock/metal is amazing and this was great. The opening guitar riff was very Hallowed Be Thy Name- Iron Maiden.
If you want to see some fun clips of Lovebites go to Kari H channel. Dont know who he is but he seems to know the band well. Even clip of Haruna drumming for the Gringa.
Whats crazy is this just a regular ass lovebites song lol they blow away any other band ...if they faced another band in a song off or solo off they would destroy any other band ...there might be better guitarists or musicians in other bands but as a whole its literally like listening to an all star team thats been playing for 30 years ... i hope you react to addiction or liar soon!!
All of us should be grateful to be living in the era of Lovebites. After listening to metal music for more than 20 years now, i have never seen or heard a band that has no weak link or a bad song. These girls are pure gold. And if they are so good like this now, imagine how good they will be in 10 years. That is terrifying. AND I LOVE IT!
Let's hope that the money making "music machinery" hasn't discovered them as a worthwhile profit source. . . LOVEBITES need a lot of leeway to be creative and extraordinary. So they may need sponsors, patrons, followers - to keep them independent in a certain manner . . .
@@kgspollux6998I’ve told friends that if I win the big lottery I will sponsor a tour or an album, if they allowed me to.
Money well spent!
This song was composed by Miyako. It was included in their studio album, Clockwork Immortality - 2018.
That was Metal perfection! Those riffs! Those harmonies (on vocals and guitars)! That breakdown! So much class, supreme musicianship and mesmerising stage presence from every beautiful member of this always astounding band. Thanks for this great reaction to THE best Metal band on Earth!
Hell yes!! 🔥🔥
ミヤコの才能には毎回驚かされます。

The main riff reminds of Micheal Jackson. This performance was full of stunning matter. Lovebites were a rare kind of metal band. Beautiful reaction guys, thanks 👍🤘🔥
The main riff reminds of Micheal Jackson's Beat'.. because It is a tribute from Miyako to Michael's guitarist: Jennifer Batten
そう、16beat刻むハルナに上でハモるミヤコ。
いつのラブバイツも見どころ満載ですね。
Thank you for reacting and supporting Lovebites. These ladies are world class talents and they deserve worldwide recognition.
Miyako's beautiful and haunting piano intro is Rachmaninoff's "Moment Musicaux Op. 16 No. 4 in E Minor". The main riff you heard in this song is derived from Michael Jackson's "Beat It". Jennifer Batten was MJ's session guitarist who performed with MJ on all 3 of his world tours in the '90s. Batten is one of Miyako's guitar influences and Miyako composed & arranged this track that included a derivation of that main riff as an homage to Batten.
I can definitely hear that ...I play "Beat It" live all the time the solo is a blast!!
@@boyzyu guess what it’s actually an EVH riff and solo he composed for MJ on his mtv video
@@boyzyu it really doesn’t sound like it at all
The rhythm guitars on Beat It were played by Steve Lukather, it was only the solo that was played by EVH and he didn't get any royalties/pay for it.
Yes, that is correct. In "Beat It", EVH only contributed to the solo and not that main riff itself.
Great reaction by Tequila Jimmy The Gringa for LOVEBITES song....your are great .
Lady Gringa 😊
Thank you so much!! ♥️

LOVEBITES - Empty Daydream lyrics & credits:
Memories I can’t erase still haunting me
Silently you stare with cold, empty eyes
Falling down
Breaking heart
A growing addiction
Just let me go away
Just let me go my way
Just let me go, I won’t become a doll you control
I’m losing sight of me
I’m losing sight of you
I’m losing sanity and I don’t know how I will go on
Nothing new, pretending not to know the truth
Rendezvous, without emotion or heart
I won’t show how weak and sad I am inside
Even though I know it’s just silly pride
Empty room
Endless rain
The end of a daydream
You never call my name
You never feel the same
You never make me feel like I deserve any love
I’m waiting for the dawn
I’m waiting for the time
I’m waiting for my bleeding heart to heal,
so I can go on
SOLO: miyako / midori / miyako / both
Memories I can’t erase still haunting me
Silently you stare with cold, empty eyes
Falling down
Breaking heart
A growing addiction
Empty room
Endless rain
The end of a daydream
Just let me go away
Just let me go my way
Just let me go, I won’t become a doll you control
I’m losing sight of me
I’m losing sight of you
I’m losing sanity and I don’t know how I will…
You never call my name
You never feel the same
You never make me feel like I deserve any love
I’m waiting for the dawn
I’m waiting for the time
I’m waiting for my bleeding heart to heal,
so I can go on

今週も熱いリアクト、ありがとうございます‼️ 来週も楽しみです☆
♥️♥️♥️♥️
I've been in on this band since 2016. Miho was somewhat subtle yet so Very important of soul,chemistry and drive for this band in it's beginnings. She imo was the most underrated part of the band. Her playing and style is World Class and her persona is the definition of Rocker. It's no secret those big bangers from some of their albums is Miho and her insistence on Heavier is Better. I do so miss her in this band but Fami is a personality and bassist that on her own is Top Tier World class even before Lovebites.
Miho Imo is quite happy today though and she seems like the variety Jam bands that are popular in Japans Metal/Rock club scene keeps her Paid, Busy at her own pace and she makes all her own decisions. Also I dont think Midori gets enough credit for how Really Killer of a Monster player she is and How well she compliments Miyako. Midori plays those Neo Classical scales with liquid smooth fluent sweep and double and triple picking and then seamlessly transitions into the rhythm parts with extraordinary Technique and precision. I havent seen a Guitar duo this Proficient since RacerX with Paul Gilbert and Bruce Bouillet trading insanity level shred.
Miho is possibly my favourite bass player, not only her ability but her stage presence. She is sorely missed.
Oh trust me...I see what Midori is doing...she is amazing... both of them are true Guitar Heroes 🤘
Yay it’s Lovebites Wednesday! I discovered this band a year ago and I have been listening to them everyday since then! Keep up the good work! Love from Canada! 🎸🥁🐺🤩❤️

Asami!! The One and Only Voice shoots my heart everytime the Lovebites performs this song 🥰🥰
No bad songs, just not in their DNA........LUV these Ladies
I have often wondered what kind of mindset Haruna and Miho had when they left Destrose and created this band, wonderful reaction as always
It will be great to see the ladies perform live the songs on their newest EP and songs they haven't done live before when their DVD comes out.
This is another LOVEBITES masterpiece.
Wolfpack believes it's part of the 3E trilogy.
Edge of the World, Empty Daydream and Epilogue are the 3 songs.
In the beginning Midori, Miho and Miyako were part of the 3Ms.
My daydream is for Miho to return to LOVEBITES.
She can also play piano and sing back up. Who knows? Maybe she can even play rhythm guitar.
Helloween and Iron Maiden have 3 guitar players.
Epilogue is another masterpiece.
You guys are going to be blown away by Miyako and Midori instruments played.
You left out Asami's soulful vocals performance. She even looks beautiful in simpler white dresses.
I love seeing her wear knee high white boots.
Peace and LOVEBITES!
🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺
Happy LOVEBITES Wednesday everyone!!!!
Thank you both, great reaction as always :)
A beautifully crafted song, like so many (maybe all?) of their compositions. I'm always in awe of the way they seamlessly transition between the sections of all their songs, wondeerful journeys every time.
I usually leave the suggestions to fellow members of the Wolfpack, but I could just whisper "Epilogue" under my breath this time....
Thank you so much for the love and support you show the girls, I'm soooo glad you love them as much as we all do!
Keep up the graet work guys 💜💜 love to you both
🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺
Synco!! .. appreciate your awesome comments always! You have also supported the channel on several occasions! .. we are actually going to do epilogue and give you a shout out for supporting the channel! Keep tuning into Lovebites Wednesday as you are going to see it real soon! Much love from both of us! 💘
@@TJandTheGringa Aww thanks TJ and TG :) That's so nice of you. Not expected but much appreciated! I promise you will not be disapointed by Epilogue....but it's LOVEBITES so how could you be!!!!!
Awesome! One of my favorite "balads" from them. Fast or slow these ladies always deliver fantastic song writing!! Love the background vocals!! 🔥
Since you mentioned their guitar techniques, Midori went to music school, and Miyako is self-taught!! Cheers! 🤘
And again (of course) a brilliant song and magnetic performance by these Empresses of Metal. If you want to add happy moments to your life, all you need is Lovebites.
Thanks Jens for requesting one of my favorite Lovebites songs with two of my favorite reactors. Love the harmonizing by Miyako. All Lovebites songs are great. Thanks for this reaction. ❤🤘🔥🐺
I was my pleasure John! Hope you are doing well these days. ❤
@ Doing good. And you?
Midori is singing BG as well! Miho is in the focus here, Miyako is shown as well, but all three of them are giving us the background vocals...
Shes so amazing vocalist vocks really great band and song! parfect scampering!!🎶⚡💖☝🏻🤘🏻👌🏻👍🏻👏🏻✨🌠🌟
ARIGATO for your Good Good Choice !! This is My Favorite Song. At the introduction, MIYAKO Plays Moment Musical No.4 by Rachmaninoff. She Lessoned the Classic Piano from Three years old.(She played the guitar from eighteen years old).
This was the song that really made me fall in love with Lovebites. Still one of my favorites.
Thank you for your reaction to
❤️LOVEBITES❤.🙏
That's a great impression.👍🤗
Thank you for your continued support of LOVEBITES.🙏
"Moments Musicaux Op. 16 No. 4" by Sergei Rachmaninoff (Rachmaninoff) is incorporated into the prelude.
Miyako-san added this piece to the prelude to Live in 2019.
Miyako-san has also composed several other classically inspired songs, some of which incorporate a fusion of metal and classical music.
The song "Empty Daydream" has a similar vibe to Michael Jackson's "Beat It" in parts.
Love Bites' "Empty Daydream," I believe it was influenced by Michael Jackson's "Beat It" performed by JENNIFER BATTEN.🤔
Miyako-san later said that one of her Top 5 guitar heroes is Jennifer Batten.
In "LIVE IN 2019" I prefer the addition of piano to the prelude of this song. 😊
Also, Miho-san&Miyako-san's backing chorus was very good on this day.👍💘❤️😆
Everyone's response has been positive, so please keep the LOVEBITES coming.🤗
You beat me by 3 hours 🤗🤗
@@marks5451
I finally made it to the front!😆🏅
We will most definitely keep them coming!!
As you're are obviously aware of, and said, they just don't have any bad or even average songs, they are either really good, great or another masterpiece, and the thing is that you can listen and/or watch any one of them time after time and more often that not hear something that you may have missed. And I know there are many great bands out there past and present, but these ladies are something special, I don't think anyone else but Fami could have stepped into Miho's shoes but she has fitted in perfectly. When I think about it, I find it difficult to believe that they don't have any songs that are just average album fillers, it's f##kin crazy how much talent they have between them, and I feel honoured to be alive to witness them, and seeing them live just put the icing on the cake. Always good to see genuine people who seem to know what you're talking about as well so kudos to yourselves and see you soon. 🤘🎤🎹🥁🎸🐺🇬🇧
I concur, bad songs or performances are just not in their DNA.....LUV these Ladies
Thank you !! ♥️♥️💯‼️
Matsumoto Castle in the background !
♥️❤️
Fantastic reaction as usual, Next on the list is Epilogue Lovebites slowest song Miyako changing instruments as usual, Haruna has a couple of fan cam song Golden destination and Raise some hell, also there is s song written by Miho about the death of her father where Miho crys in Asami arms the song is called Journey to the other side, so sad
Hassan uk England
Stay Tuned!! Both Coming Soon!!
You guys really need to react to Journey To The Other Side. It's a very personal very emotional story to the song. Miho wrote it for dedicated it to her dad who had passed away shortly before at the age of 49. They only performed it once. Miho gets very emotional during the performance.
It is one of the most beautiful songs ever!
You will be seeing this one coming up sooner than later we are both super eager to listen to it!!
@@TJandTheGringa Thank you 🙏
@@TJandTheGringa Great. Prepare for a tear or two.
04:40 The main riff reminds you of Micheal Jackson's 'Beat'.. because It is a tribute from Miyako to Michael's guitarist: Jennifer Batten
Miyako sings beautiful backing vocal on this to
Seriously love this song, when I first started to buy Lovebites albums, after listening to many of their biggest songs on UA-cam, This song really stuck in my mind with that vocal hook, They already had me in many ways, but this song was just so amazing with that fantastic vocal harmonies.
Cool backdrop (Matsumoto castle)! 😃 How fitting! 👍
Thanks 😁
This comes from "Daughters of the Dawn," their second Blu-ray and first to be released on its own. If I was the type to rank things, I'd rank Daughters last in overall quality among their live releases. That said, it has a lot of great moments, and "Empty Daydream" is the top among those moments. Everyone is on top of their game, their energy fits the song, the equipment is cooperating, everything is perfect for this one.
Lastly, rest in peace to the venue where this was recorded, Mynavi Blitz Akasaka/Akasaka Blitz. It was shut down due to Covid. It also hosted the Black Fox, Red Fox, and Gold Fox Festival shows performed by the great Babymetal.
Another one of their amazing songs that I love👍💕🎶🎤
Hooray for LOVEBITES Wednesday! Strewth! I didn't realise that you haven't done the E songs. Oh well, I think you'll need the tissues when you do Epilogue. ☺☺

Thank you guys for your invigorating reactions! Just a little note on the side (seeing as I'm sure you would like to pronounce your supporter correctly): Jens being a German name, the "J" is pronounced differently - as you would say "Yens" in English.
Thank you so much for correcting us! Definitely want to get the pronunciation correct. Really appreciate you ❤️❤️
Miyako is harmonizing quite regularly with Asami though it is not very often shown in the videos. Always quite nicely even after the key change at the end of this song
❤🇫🇷🤘🏻
again another great reaction you guys, see you next wednesday same time, same place, maybe give "warningshot" a listen from the battle in the east concert, than you can see Miyako smiling after her solo like: "yeah, nailed it" its fun to see 🤘🤘🤘
"Warning Shot" LIVE 2018 [cc] lyrics: ua-cam.com/video/ENckMO4zvL8/v-deo.html
Podemos simplificar,pero cualquier cancion es digna de la musica que nos gusta o atrae,simplemente LB,seguimos en ruta,saludos
Perfection ❤
Love this song because of Miyako's vocals with the call and respond and the harmonies with Asami just so beautiful!!!!! Glad you guys did this one. Now you need to do (Epilogue)!!!!! Thank you for what you do!!!!!
Epilogue is coming soon Clint!! Stay Tuned Brother 🤘
@@TJandTheGringa I'll be here with bells on---- ok no bells but I'll be here!!!!! LOL!!!!!
Damn friend, this presentation in 2019 will be unforgettable. Miho's father had passed away and she dedicated this song to him. In one passage of the song she breaks down due to the painful memory, but being the professional she is, she moved on. "You are excellent, Rosana Miho." You are always in the heart of the wolf pack. Every time I see her, tears come to my eyes.
I leave you the link, just make sure you have a scarf within reach friend: ua-cam.com/video/QPMCj6PiJFc/v-deo.html
Wait till you see them live! I'm hoping they come back over next year. The Mexico show is on my radar. Once again, great show, and you guys do an incredible job. I gotta have my "Lovebites Wednesdays". 🔥 🔥 🔥
You Fkin Rock! We appreciate your kind words!! Mexico show is also on our Radar!! Much ❤️❤️
THIS SONG IS KILLER
Midori💚💚💚💚💚 Miho💜💜💜💜💜
Thanks again amazing Tequila duo. I don't know any other band with all the songs, to be good in their discography. Excellent song, I love when the band shows any side of them, they are so versatile. Just let you know on the previous reaction to the Miyako project i left a comment if you have not seen it, please check. Much love from London. Greetings.🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Just checked it out and responded to it. I read all the comments and then I usually go back and try to respond to as many as I can. Appreciate you always chiming in with awesome info!! 💗💗💗
For me, this performance has an almost Operatic feel. The music alone tells a story that's perfectly in sync with the lyrics. Its a beautifully written piece of music with every note and percussive accent having a purpose, imo. Then what's even more amazing with the vocals is the ladies flawlessly overcoming the major difference in cadence between Japanese and English to make the vocals and harmonies sound so natural. You wouldn't even know English isn't their native language. On another note, you said something about just watching Haruna drum, well there are a few videos of her that are just a drum cam views. I know you've already reacted to "Raise Some Hell" so here's a link to a video of Haruna playing it that's just drum cam views. Its from the same performance you reacted to (I think it was a DVD bonus cut). "Raise Some Hell" isn't their most complex song, but even on it you can see the work Haruna puts in, now imagine that times how many songs on a set list with each having complex accents and tempos. Its crazy to me how she keeps that bass drum so steady while doing so many different things with her arms. The woman is a machine! Enjoy! ua-cam.com/video/9Rpb1WCayIs/v-deo.htmlsi=gV2BHI-6rKeXtsxm
Thank you so Much for these!
Great song. I also love that short at 9:02 minutes. And the drumming on this is indeed fantastic.
It is quite unusual with bands that do not have a bad or uninteresting song. Lovebites and Beatles comes to my mind. I think it has with the skills to pre-visualize what is good or not, and never release anything sub par.
Clockwork Immortality is a fantastic album, just amazing!
The riff reminds "Back on the Road Again" from REO Speedwagon. This band is very popular in Japan.
Lovebites Wednesday is brought to you by Another Killer Track! There’s really nothing much you can say about these ladies! They are who we thought they are! I’ve no doubt if they came out in the 80’s, these ladies would be ruling the world of metal with Metallica and Iron Maiden. And I dare claim that they would be even bigger because they have a more appealing sound to just about every genre of listeners.
Thank you guys for another great reaction! Always looking forward to Lovebites Wednesday. I know it will end at some point but with their tremendous volume of great songs, Lovebites Wednesday will last for a long time! ❤🐺
I really love this song; it showcases Asami’s vocals and Miho and Miyako excellent backing vocals, especially Miyako’s. I always love when Miyako plays the piano.
This performance should be used in music schools to teach how great music is done. One of my favorite performances I have ever seen and also one of my favorite vocal performances from Asami. Everything about this is next level! 🎹🎤🎸🥁🐺🤘
Hey aquí estoy😎
Obvio Miércoles de LOVEBITES‼️🔥
🤟🏻🐺Un clásico, que temazo, saludos🤘🏻
Awesome ❤
Matsumoto castle!🏯
The intro by Miyako is a Rachmaninov piece. The riff reminds me of a Michael Jackson song BAD I think. Now you must listen to the final E song Epilogue teaser it has acoustic guitars.
It's the riff from "Beat It"
Very similar strumming pattern in it .. completely diff chords but I can definitely hear that 😁
Yes a Michael Jackson song, but not Bad, but another one. Think EVH. Surprised they didn't catch it.
@@ChristopherEvans-650You made it to easy, giving it away like that.🤣😂
The song "Empty Daydream" has a similar vibe to Michael Jackson's "Beat It" in parts.
I thought so too until I heard the following, which was pointed out in other reactionary content on LOVEBITES.
Reo Speedwagon "Back On The Road Again" released in 1979 (UA-cam channel "JoseCotdino").😲
However, in the case of Love Bites' "Empty Daydream," I believe it was influenced by Michael Jackson's "Beat It" (released in 1982) performed by JENNIFER BATTEN.
Miyako later said that one of her Top 5 guitar heroes is Jennifer Batten.
Good things are passed down.🤗
❤️LOVEBITESRULES❤
I really love how the guitar parts were written. During the first part of each verse Midori plays a straight 8th note rhythm while Miyako is playing open chords. Then during the chorus is changes.
The back and forth solos were refreshing instead of a long one by each of them before they hook up with each other.
And yes, there’s Haruna, the machine……but such a cute one.
Miho and Miyako on vocals really enhanced this song.
Thank you LOVEBITES for a great song: ‼️
The LOVEBITES have the ability to play songs like this one, and that's what I like about them👍.
The last part of the song, which modulates from an irregular guitar solo, gives me goosebumps 🔥.
Thanks again!
🐺🐺🐺🤘🤘🤘🍻
Greetings from Mexico I recommend you listen and analyze Epilogy has a great Miyako solo
It's on our list so it's coming soon!
To answer your question, LOVEBITES don't have any bad songs. They don't even have any mediocre songs. They only have good songs, great songs and masterpieces.
💯‼️
Some may argue, they don't even have good songs... 🤣
Thank you for another quality reaction... well worth the wait. ❤
When I heard Miyako's high harmonies I asked myself what she cannot do musically in Lovebites?
5 years, 3 live concerts and 1 tatoo later the answer is very obvious to me: almost nothing!
Jens!.. She is Amazing.. And someone just told me your name is pronounced "Yens" recently.. I'm sorry for mispronouncing it lol.. I was reading it like an American LOLOL.. We really appreciate you man..this was an amazing track and watching Miyako harmonize with Asami during the choruses was Magic!.. Much Love to you!.. Stay tuned for next week!
@@TJandTheGringa Next week she will blow your mind even more. ☺
Please have no worries because I am used to it since I grew up with American soldiers and their families who were stationed near my home-town in Northern Germany. You got it right though... think YANKEES, drop the KEES and add an S. 🤣
Aaah got it...Like Yans! Right?
@@TJandTheGringa Yes Sir or Mam. 🙂
Awesome!! thank you for letting us know we will definitely get it right in the next one 🤣🤣🤣
An old gem in a new live edition "The Final Collision" ua-cam.com/video/vmGYX5VgfeQ/v-deo.html
You should check out Under the Red Sky next. Super cool song with amazingly powerful lyrics. You will love it.
Nah every song is a god dang banger!!
If one is really paying attention, there is one member that is singing harmonies with Asami in many of the tracks, that would be Miyako. The other members do gang or back up vocals.
I'm pretty sure Jens was referring to Miyako's 'harmonies' at the end of each chorus. If you watch and listen closely during the chorus, Miho sings the first two lines of call and response with Miyako, *but* her voice drops out on the harmonies (you can see her turn away from the mic in the 2nd chorus). Lovebites has several songs with 'gang' vocals, but there are solo backing vocals (often too low in the mix) on many videos, with harmonies, always done by Miyako. One of the underappreciated facets of Miyako's musical talent is her ability sing _high harmonies_ over Asami's voice.
Much appreciated! Took me some time to realize, that it's Miyako's voice (not only in this song), but now I can hear it just from the sound. Together it sounds awesome with these harmonies!
I'm a Maidiac but do enjoy Lovebites (saw them in London this year) and your reactions. The world of Japanese rock/metal is amazing and this was great. The opening guitar riff was very Hallowed Be Thy Name- Iron Maiden.
Me too. Decades-long Maiden fan, _and_ I also enjoy LOVEBITES. And other all-female Metal bands from Japan. Just watch current Hágane, jaw-dropping.
🐺🤘🐺🔥🔥
Haruna-cam you say?
ua-cam.com/video/5qSivhIBciY/v-deo.html
🤘🏼🎸🥁🎤🐺❤️🔥🇯🇵🇮🇹
🤘🐺🤩
If you want to see some fun clips of Lovebites go to Kari H channel. Dont know who he is but he seems to know the band well. Even clip of Haruna drumming for the Gringa.
I like Fami....but i miss Miho
We miss you so much Rosana Miho. 🐺 ❤ 🐺
🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺 Miho!
❤️LOVENITESRULES❤️
I would love to see you do a review of Fami doing her rendition of K-on. Just so you know Fami can sing to.
Whats crazy is this just a regular ass lovebites song lol they blow away any other band ...if they faced another band in a song off or solo off they would destroy any other band ...there might be better guitarists or musicians in other bands but as a whole its literally like listening to an all star team thats been playing for 30 years ... i hope you react to addiction or liar soon!!
Fuck yes..I always say its like the all star team or the the avengers! 💯🍻
The Lovebites song with the Michael Jackson song riff in it. Your second of the "E" songs. One more "E" song to go.
