A few years ago I wouldn't have dared to hope that one of the younger bands would come along again and play classic heavy metal with 2 absolutely top lead guitarists. And then came Lovebites.🤘🤘
Aaaaaaaaaa the queens are here! Absolute ADDICTED to Lovebites, can't wait til this tour hits South America. And seeing Midori mention Kiko Loureiro makes the Brazilian here smile with joy.
So happy you gave them a chance, and watched them in their right element. Though I like their studio material, I feel, just like Rush, it's on the stage they really shines. One of the fiercest double leads in the business in Miyako and Midori, very accurate harmonies that gives association to Tipton/Downing and Murray/Smith. Just with some more "flair". When the original bassist (Miho) left because of personal reasons, most fans feared she would be hard to replace. Fami stepped in, and many realised she was a known UA-camr and went in seamlessly though she is +10 years younger than the rest of the girls. Probably the happiest bassist I've seen in a while. Haruna... one of many extremely talented female drummers in Japan. Keeps pace with most males. Asami.. Great singer. And by some called a female Bruce Dickinson!
The main principles of the band presented by Miho, the founder and first bassist of LOVEBITES, are as follows. ①Heavy metal (basic policy) ②All English lyrics (strategy for global expansion) ③White costumes (Most metal bands wear black costumes, and if these short girls wore black costumes, they would be hidden, so they wear white costumes to contrast and stand out.) ④High heels (to compensate for short height) The white costumes can be dyed in various colors by colored lighting. They wear white outfits and are lit up with colored lights that reflect the themes and genres of their lyrics. The white outfits have an advantage because LOVEBITES' songs incorporate different metal genres and there are many different aspects to their lyrics and music. Miho also thought about the visual on stage. Asami will modify stage lighting effects etc. on-site. For white costumes, each person requests their preferences and ideas from the costume staff. Thank you for your continued support of LOVEBITES.
Point no. 2 is what holding back many World Class & Creative Japanese Bands from conquering the world. Lovebites is making a smart move. Loudness in the past did better because they have more English songs than for example, X Japan (and many other J bands) that I believe can be better or at least on par at the global stage. (Loudness is coming to my country in a few months time). Sad also that great & magnificent bands that I adore like Galneryus, Unlucky Morpheus etc., will have little exposure outside Japan. (touring, concert) Going off-topic a bit - One small aspect of the Japanese music (rock/metal) that I like in their songwriting is their appreciation for solo. Not just guitar solo, but any instrument solo! They have bass, keyboard, violin, piano & even shamisen solo (i.e. Wagakkiband). And many have twin or solo duel or harmonized solo! And Lovebites have a lot of these!!! 🤟🤟🤟
Thank you very much for that. It wouldn't matter to me if they dressed as homeless vagrants because their sound and skill is so next level but one of the things I love about Lovebites is the fact that they present as a class act. No tats, no 2,071 piercings, no skin-tight leather. Ladies. Kicking ass.😂😁🍻
I love all the exposure Lovebites is getting on this tour. This is exactly what they needed! Wolfpack is growing faster now. Lovebites are the queens of metal! 🤘🏼🐺🤘🏼
Lovebites is such an amazing band, every single one of the women in this group is a virtuoso at their art. So glad you finally got to see them live - I am looking forward to my chance in the US later this year! (I hope!)
I came across LOVEBITES via magazine article saying which bands to look out for, prior to the release of their second album, which said for fans of Iron Maiden, Helloween & Stratovarius. I thought I'd give them a try and searched for them on youtube and listened to a couple of songs and immediately fell on love with them, and was annoyed I didn't know they existed. They have been on my play list ever since.
i am totally excited that you finally found the best new metal band in the world!!! i know you are a metallica maiden and priest fan which i have seen between the three bands over 115 times. have a great day and hopefully you will continue you to follow and promote these ladies!!!
Thank you to LOVEBITES members Asami and Midori for the interview, their impressions of the festival, and the announcement of their new EP. From Japan.🐺🐺🎤🎸🙇♂
I was actually surprised how good it is. It seems her main struggle is that sometimes the right word doesn't come to mind because of not enough practice. I feel like after a few months in an English speaking environment she could be amazing.
@@pablomg9742 Midori's replies were spontaneous. I think most of the time when Asami speaks in English she is using rehearsed lines that she memorizes ahead of time. That's the impression I get from all the times I've heard Asami talk, but I could be wrong.
@@ChadTheDragonLord ua-cam.com/video/gXZVPW6AkZc/v-deo.html ...just a little example...Asami knows absolutely nothing about Metal but expresses himself freely in English.
Midori is Fire! She studied music/guitar at the ESP Musicians Institute in Japan and graduated a master performer and instructor. Her insane precise laser shredding comes from the curriculum of the teachers and instructors she studied under. Some are Well known in the Japanese Metal and Progressive scene like Syu,Ohmura,Fujikoa, Satoshi Oka,etc..... They really are a Unique and Great band. Their sound is familiar but completely their own. WolfPack!
I think those festival appearances are gonna gain them a lot of new fans - they look great on a big stage :) I caught the Milan gig this tour in a more intimate club.. and also gonna go see them on Tuesday night in Paris \m/
There is a clear guitar hero about such music, it is Richie Blackmore! His culture and spirit is present in Lovebites' music as well. (Check "Burn" by Deep Purple)
i knew that midori spoke some english but she actually is much better than i thought. i,ve been into japanese music for 9 years now and have learned many japanese words but putting sentences together is altogether different. i suck at it

I hope that one day ANY band can go to Ukraine and perform. We just need those pesky Russians to go home. But thanks for interviewing LOVEBITES, one of the most talented metal bands active today.
@@VeljkoNikolic-is5px Yep - you definitely want to be free from those nacists. The way they go around nacisting everything is just so annoying. They should just go an nacist themselves don't you think?
I rapidly check live footage and there awesome and really cute. (I love japanese😂) But at the question about the name of the tour if is it coïncidence about iron Maiden, she dont know what to Said. She just look embarrassed and look at her manager to know what to Said. Lovebites and Babymetal, are they real band in control of what they do or is it just a big enterprise like all japanese idol band or for america the equivalent of Back street boys and spice girl. I hope its clear, english not my first language😅

They were one of the bands who was heavily punished by the pandemic. Published a great album and was ready to hit the road, to establish themselves as a band. A 2020 tour could've made things slightly different, since I mostly consider them a live band, and not "studio".
Lovebites will never be famous worldwilde; it's impossible for a japanese band in a black and white world and in 50 years it will be the same. Don't be so naive people. I love them but with no exposure on tv, radio, press and whith almost no young people knowing them it's impossible to achieve the succes they deserved. The only things we can do it's to buy the cd's or dvd because for now for the vast majority it's only japanese people buying that. The other things it's to see them live to support them. i'm very disapointed for the european tourney (even if the girls have fun and smiles a lot), i was hoping bigger stages but it's like that it's impossible. Maybe the us tour will attract more people for sure but to be know massively worldwilde it's impossible. Sorry for my sadness and for my bad english. i'm from belgium and at school i was terrible with english langage.
I think you are wrong. I believe they will be known worldwide. They need to keep touring. This is how all the big-name bands achieved their success. It doesn't happen overnight.
If you as a Japanese female heavy metal band manage to sell out a concert club with almost 700 seats in Germany, 12000 km away, deliver a top performance and bring the audience to a boil, that's not bad at all. Rock and classic heavy metal are no longer the thing of the youth. If one day we manage to get our beloved band to play high-quality concerts in halls with 4000 to 7000 spectators in Europe, South and North America and Asia, then we will be satisfied. That's all we can do for the time being. There won't be any new Rolling Stones, Metallicas or Iron Maidens in the future.
Hanabie. and Crystal Lake performed on the main stage at Resurrection Festival yesterday, and Jiluka and Babymetal are gonna do the same. Hanabie. is gonna be on the main stage even at Lollapalooza. So it's already been proven for a Japanese band to be able to perform on the biggest stage at a big festival. But you're right. Lovebites' fans aren't young at all, and their genre doesn't get much attention anymore, meaning for Lovebites it might be really difficult.
maybe you should be listening to these garbage bands then, Hanabie, Crystal Lake and Jiluka boring ass metalcore, same riffs and break downs for the last 25 years.
Midori and Asami are so adorable! 🥰 It was cute how Midori was explaining the tour name: "thin line between love and hate". From what I have seen so far... no hate, only lots of LOVE for them! ☺ At the end, Asami said she wants to tour with Judas Priest and maybe sing "Painkiller" on stage with them! That would be AMAZING. 😍
There's a video somewhere from a few years ago which is pretty long and has Midori and Asami speaking English for the whole thing. I think it's something that doesn't get much of a mention so it does come as a surprise, but Midori's English is really quite good.
Thank you for highlighting LOVEBITES so well - saw them one week ago in Belgium and it was a dream come true - I've been listening to them for five years and never thought they would come back to Belgium again! As I was part of the venue staff, I've seen that they're totally genuine, unpretentious and adorable people too. They deserve all the praise and love from the metal world!
I'm very happy that Lovebites are getting more and more attention. They more than deserve it. They are opening a new era of heavy metal. Glory to the Wolfpack
1 week and and I will get to see them live, it's crazy to think that the ladies of #lovebites who play such powerful music on stage, are such beautiful souls, the contrast between them whilst working and chilling out and relaxing is staggering, and shows just how professional they are. ❤️🤘🎤🎸🥁🎹🐺🇬🇧
Fan since Shadowmaker and loyal Wolfpack member. So glad they finally get to tour outside of Japan and get to show the insane talent of the band to all those who have never experienced this group. This band is a BUCKET-LIST item and I only wish they could add more dates in the Americas. However, Miyako has some piano tour recitals in Japan and I know that limits their availability.Nonetheless, much like Wacken they will blow away the crowds who come to see them. Thank you for the added exposure this band deserves so much more!!!!!
When Asami said Judas Priest, I was so thrilled to hear that, my favorite bands are LOVEBITES and Judas Priest. Thanks for this interview with these awesome beautiful ladies! 🤘🐺
@@metallove1 well they got 2 songs written for British heavy-metal exclusively."golden destination" was written about old school British metal in general and "the crusade" was a homage to Iron Maiden.Miho was the huge maiden fan in the group and effectively she started it, so I'm not sure that the other girls are so inclined.The pilgrim was a bit cringe in this interview, just because he's a major Iron Maiden fan.He should of asked them why they called it "the thin line between love and hate", not asked a embarrassing leading question.They are of this generation, which means that most of their influences are going to be from 2000-2010, when they were teenagers growing up, not from the 80s
Been an "enthusiastic fan" of them for 4 years now and yes, they are that good. Incredibly strong musicians and song writers. And performers. Sadly the metal world is still full of gatekeepers and haters who won't even give such a great new band a chance. They're missing out on a lot. Saw them live 2 times last week and will see them again in London on monday 0701🤘🏻🙂
Beware the date. First they are in Paris on Tuesday, then Hellfest on Friday, Resurrection on Saturday, and the Monday after that is your date! Until Roskilde on Thursday. So Monday is correct, but check the week!
I have been a fan of Lovebites for several years. I realized a long time ago that when I reach for their music, in an overwhelming number of cases I open UA-cam and watch concert material. This is a great concert band that multiplies the power of its music when it plays live. That's what I felt while watching UA-cam. A few days ago I did something I promised myself - I took the chance and saw the girls on stage in real life. It was a small venue in Milan. The fact that the club was small was an advantage. The atmosphere was as if I was moved to the early 80s and watching Iron Maiden in some small club. There was so much freshness, sincere emotions, enthusiasm, joy in playing and receiving music. Priceless. Without a doubt one of the best concerts I have ever been to. The small club (Legend club) worked well, but these girls' place is on the biggest stages, stadiums and concert halls. They really deserve it.
@@ragemage4984 That "Ole Ole Ole Ole Lovebites, Lovebites" will go down in history as one of the band's greatest moments. I wouldn't be surprised if it finds its way into a future documentary or DVD from the band.
I've been in Lindau Germany a day before Milan also in a small club with Lovebites live! They are an absolutely amazing live band, it's a must see for every fan of classic heavy metal!
I saw them at the New Cross Inn London at the start of their tour. The venue was small and left much to be desired, but the ladies were simply incredible. It was an amazing experience to be so close to these talented and beautiful musicians. So happy that they are winning converts during the tour and looking forward to seeing them in London again for the penultimate concert of the tour.
In September of last year, I traveled from Budapest to Osaka to see them. I was also in Milan last week. I agree with you, I also think the concert was very, very good. There was much more energy on stage than in front of the Japanese audience, where there were chairs in the auditorium. I hope they come to my country one day. Greetings from Hungary.
It's been easily over a decade since I've been this obsessed over a band as much as I am about these young ladies. They're seriously monstrously good, and I have no doubts they'll only get better with time.
@@anthonypowell6234Oh! Asami-san’s body language. Asami-san’s cute actions don’t seem like heavy metal、but that gives them great personality. Same goes Fami-chan. Midori-san has a unique costume that takes advantage of her muscular beauty & expressive facial expressions "this is called "KAO-GEI" in japan ".
@@anthonypowell6234Thank you Anthony-san! "KAO-GEI" is one of the style of japanese comedians who make people laugh with exaggerated facial expressions. LOVEBITES love comedy、 as evidenced by live video of spellbound. Midori-san’s nickname is crazy shredder. Now she has strong personality. I think Midori-san’s character wasn’t clear until then 、but since 2020 Japan tour 、she began her live performance with an exaggerated expression as if she had suddenly woken up. She is a dignified character、but at the same time she is also a very cute person.

Love bites. Kawaii Metal... Sugoi ..... Midori... Asami was originally a jazz singer..JMetal rules. Asami will hold you to working with Priest . Metalheads for Ukraine. Slava Ukraini. ✌️🤘🏴🇦🇺
Asami was rnb singer before
It's not "kawaii metal".
I hope that one day ANY band can go to Ukraine and perform. We just need those pesky Russians to go home. But thanks for interviewing LOVEBITES, one of the most talented metal bands active today.
I hope they will play in Ukraine free from nacist, in reunited Russian.
@@VeljkoNikolic-is5px Yep - you definitely want to be free from those nacists. The way they go around nacisting everything is just so annoying. They should just go an nacist themselves don't you think?
@@1970Phoenix Of course they do. First EU, then USA, Germany and others. Russians are not Nazism. Maybe they were communist but not Nazism.
@@VeljkoNikolic-is5px You're not very good at English, are you?
@@1970Phoenix It is not important!!!!!!!!
I wish they could come to Hawaii
❤❤❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺
I rapidly check live footage and there awesome and really cute. (I love japanese😂) But at the question about the name of the tour if is it coïncidence about iron Maiden, she dont know what to Said. She just look embarrassed and look at her manager to know what to Said.
Lovebites and Babymetal, are they real band in control of what they do or is it just a big enterprise like all japanese idol band or for america the equivalent of Back street boys and spice girl.
I hope its clear, english not my first language😅

Referring to this interview ua-cam.com/video/MITpHg2AUZk/v-deo.html
Not a so young band. They could have made it years ago.
They were one of the bands who was heavily punished by the pandemic.
Published a great album and was ready to hit the road, to establish themselves as a band. A 2020 tour could've made things slightly different, since I mostly consider them a live band, and not "studio".
Lovebites will never be famous worldwilde; it's impossible for a japanese band in a black and white world and in 50 years it will be the same. Don't be so naive people. I love them but with no exposure on tv, radio, press and whith almost no young people knowing them it's impossible to achieve the succes they deserved. The only things we can do it's to buy the cd's or dvd because for now for the vast majority it's only japanese people buying that. The other things it's to see them live to support them. i'm very disapointed for the european tourney (even if the girls have fun and smiles a lot), i was hoping bigger stages but it's like that it's impossible. Maybe the us tour will attract more people for sure but to be know massively worldwilde it's impossible. Sorry for my sadness and for my bad english. i'm from belgium and at school i was terrible with english langage.
I think you are wrong. I believe they will be known worldwide. They need to keep touring. This is how all the big-name bands achieved their success. It doesn't happen overnight.
If you as a Japanese female heavy metal band manage to sell out a concert club with almost 700 seats in Germany, 12000 km away, deliver a top performance and bring the audience to a boil, that's not bad at all. Rock and classic heavy metal are no longer the thing of the youth. If one day we manage to get our beloved band to play high-quality concerts in halls with 4000 to 7000 spectators in Europe, South and North America and Asia, then we will be satisfied. That's all we can do for the time being. There won't be any new Rolling Stones, Metallicas or Iron Maidens in the future.
Hanabie. and Crystal Lake performed on the main stage at Resurrection Festival yesterday, and Jiluka and Babymetal are gonna do the same. Hanabie. is gonna be on the main stage even at Lollapalooza. So it's already been proven for a Japanese band to be able to perform on the biggest stage at a big festival. But you're right. Lovebites' fans aren't young at all, and their genre doesn't get much attention anymore, meaning for Lovebites it might be really difficult.
アサミはキャバ嬢になったらめっちゃ稼げると思う。
嬢メタルだから。
maybe you should be listening to these garbage bands then, Hanabie, Crystal Lake and Jiluka boring ass metalcore, same riffs and break downs for the last 25 years.
Zzzzzzz.sukiyaki
Garbage
Stop, self-deprecation is not healthy for you.
Self reflection is a good thing, congrats! 👍🏻

Are you the IQ detector what a model, Made in Japan.
Midori and Asami are so adorable! 🥰
It was cute how Midori was explaining the tour name: "thin line between love and hate".
From what I have seen so far... no hate, only lots of LOVE for them! ☺
At the end, Asami said she wants to tour with Judas Priest and maybe sing "Painkiller" on stage with them!
That would be AMAZING. 😍
Midori English speaking really surprised me
Asami does do, So does Miyako.
There's a video somewhere from a few years ago which is pretty long and has Midori and Asami speaking English for the whole thing. I think it's something that doesn't get much of a mention so it does come as a surprise, but Midori's English is really quite good.
Yap, first time for me as well. I've heard Asami and Miyako speak English many times, but somehow Midori's talent has had less exposure.
They are currently the best power metal band on the global scene.
that has to be a joke, Blind Guardian is still doing concerts
Welcome to the world of LOVEBITES!!! 💯👍👍👍
Thank you for highlighting LOVEBITES so well - saw them one week ago in Belgium and it was a dream come true - I've been listening to them for five years and never thought they would come back to Belgium again! As I was part of the venue staff, I've seen that they're totally genuine, unpretentious and adorable people too. They deserve all the praise and love from the metal world!
I'm very happy that Lovebites are getting more and more attention. They more than deserve it. They are opening a new era of heavy metal. Glory to the Wolfpack
Wolfpack here!!🤘🐺
australian puppy
Wow! I’m impress with both of their English skills. Hope they do more interviews like this. Rock on 🤘 LOVEBITES!
the greatest female band all of time
Band maid too!
1 week and and I will get to see them live, it's crazy to think that the ladies of #lovebites who play such powerful music on stage, are such beautiful souls, the contrast between them whilst working and chilling out and relaxing is staggering, and shows just how professional they are. ❤️🤘🎤🎸🥁🎹🐺🇬🇧
I fully understand that there are restrictions when touring live overseas, but I think it is quite sad that Miyako's keyboard performance is omitted.
And Haruna only has one star symbal instead of three, and only one bass drum.
Love Lovebites 🏴 🤘 🐺
Great video and interview. I am so glad you created this.
thank you so much for this feature - they deserve all the exposure they can get
❤ Bites! Great interview MP...
Hope they get to record or play with JP, would be the ultimate gig for them as artists. They are phenomenal.👏🤘
Got the chance to see them in italy, and they were fantastic!! The awesome music, and the ladies were super fun with the crowd all night!! 🤘😊
Their english is getting really good!
They are awesome. Glad they are on a big tour.
Next metal gods, yes. I confirm.
Fan since Shadowmaker and loyal Wolfpack member. So glad they finally get to tour outside of Japan and get to show the insane talent of the band to all those who have never experienced this group. This band is a BUCKET-LIST item and I only wish they could add more dates in the Americas. However, Miyako has some piano tour recitals in Japan and I know that limits their availability.Nonetheless, much like Wacken they will blow away the crowds who come to see them. Thank you for the added exposure this band deserves so much more!!!!!
Thanks and greetings to Asami and Midori for a charming interview!
When Asami said Judas Priest, I was so thrilled to hear that, my favorite bands are LOVEBITES and Judas Priest. Thanks for this interview with these awesome beautiful ladies! 🤘🐺
The same here plus Iron Maiden. Lovebites covered Painkiller perfectly. Check it out.
@@metallove1 well they got 2 songs written for British heavy-metal exclusively."golden destination" was written about old school British metal in general and "the crusade" was a homage to Iron Maiden.Miho was the huge maiden fan in the group and effectively she started it, so I'm not sure that the other girls are so inclined.The pilgrim was a bit cringe in this interview, just because he's a major Iron Maiden fan.He should of asked them why they called it "the thin line between love and hate", not asked a embarrassing leading question.They are of this generation, which means that most of their influences are going to be from 2000-2010, when they were teenagers growing up, not from the 80s
LOVEBITES POLSKA GIVE ME THE BEAT 🇵🇱🇯🇵🇺🇦🐺❤🎤⭐🥁🎸🎸🎸🤘
Been an "enthusiastic fan" of them for 4 years now and yes, they are that good. Incredibly strong musicians and song writers. And performers. Sadly the metal world is still full of gatekeepers and haters who won't even give such a great new band a chance. They're missing out on a lot.
Saw them live 2 times last week and will see them again in London on monday 0701🤘🏻🙂
Beware the date. First they are in Paris on Tuesday, then Hellfest on Friday, Resurrection on Saturday, and the Monday after that is your date! Until Roskilde on Thursday. So Monday is correct, but check the week!
👏👏👏
@@rainerzufall42 danke und keine Sorge, hab das richtige Datum schon im Kopf und bin nicht eine Woche zu früh nach London geflogen 🙂
@@UltraHD.7 Gut so. Du würdest was verpassen!
Wow! I’m impress with both of their English skills. Hope they do more interviews like this. Rock on 🤘 LOVEBITES!
I have been a fan of Lovebites for several years. I realized a long time ago that when I reach for their music, in an overwhelming number of cases I open UA-cam and watch concert material. This is a great concert band that multiplies the power of its music when it plays live. That's what I felt while watching UA-cam. A few days ago I did something I promised myself - I took the chance and saw the girls on stage in real life. It was a small venue in Milan. The fact that the club was small was an advantage. The atmosphere was as if I was moved to the early 80s and watching Iron Maiden in some small club. There was so much freshness, sincere emotions, enthusiasm, joy in playing and receiving music. Priceless. Without a doubt one of the best concerts I have ever been to. The small club (Legend club) worked well, but these girls' place is on the biggest stages, stadiums and concert halls. They really deserve it.
I was there too. OLEEEE OLE OLE OLEEEE LOVEBIIIIITES LOVEBIIIIITES
@@ragemage4984 That "Ole Ole Ole Ole Lovebites, Lovebites" will go down in history as one of the band's greatest moments. I wouldn't be surprised if it finds its way into a future documentary or DVD from the band.
I've been in Lindau Germany a day before Milan also in a small club with Lovebites live! They are an absolutely amazing live band, it's a must see for every fan of classic heavy metal!
I saw them at the New Cross Inn London at the start of their tour. The venue was small and left much to be desired, but the ladies were simply incredible. It was an amazing experience to be so close to these talented and beautiful musicians. So happy that they are winning converts during the tour and looking forward to seeing them in London again for the penultimate concert of the tour.
In September of last year, I traveled from Budapest to Osaka to see them. I was also in Milan last week. I agree with you, I also think the concert was very, very good. There was much more energy on stage than in front of the Japanese audience, where there were chairs in the auditorium. I hope they come to my country one day. Greetings from Hungary.
It's so cool! Thank you for uploading this valuable video.
めっちゃかっこいいっす！貴重な動画アップありがとう。
And I thought Asami's favorite vocal hero was Mariah Carey. 😄
Thanks for interviewing Lovebites!
They're awesome ! I saw them in Belgium ! ❤❤❤
Love this band so much. 5 great musicians and one amazing band
I never knew Midori could speak English that well.
if im not mistaken she studied music in america. Theres a video on fb where she and asami answers fan questions in english
She seems quite relaxed when she speaks English
Nuno also attended a LOVEBITES concert in Tokyo last year. He was playing at the same venue with Extreme 2 days before.
Yeah, that was really cool. Lovebites got their picture taken with him!
Thanks for your interview to these incredible musicians and for uploading the video!!! Great questions and interactions with them!!!
Can't wait to see them on the US leg of the tour!!
Same here. About 10 weeks until they hit town. I've only been waiting for what, 7 years?
LOVEBITES TE AMOOOO‼️
GRACIAS POR EXISTIR EN MIS TIEMPOS DE METALERO, SON LA MEJORES
🤟🏻🔥🐺🔥🤘🏻
Metal!!!
It's been easily over a decade since I've been this obsessed over a band as much as I am about these young ladies. They're seriously monstrously good, and I have no doubts they'll only get better with time.
These ladies are phenomenal best band since iron maiden
Imagine if they play Break The Wall, Raise Some Hell and SSS in front of old school metal bands 😅
Dear world rock fans ・・please discover this amazing band‼️
Asami-san the vocalist is so excited & cute on interview after their live performance.
Her body language is as if she is sitting next to a big ice cream cone! Honestly the same body language I would have sitting next to her though!
@@anthonypowell6234Oh! Asami-san’s body language. Asami-san’s cute actions don’t seem like heavy metal、but that gives them great personality. Same goes Fami-chan.
Midori-san has a unique costume that takes advantage of her muscular beauty & expressive facial
expressions "this is called "KAO-GEI" in japan ".
@@赤井臣也 Thanks! Is Kao-gei what Midori's type of dress and expression is called? Similar to gyaru in some ways perhaps?
@@anthonypowell6234Thank you Anthony-san!
"KAO-GEI" is one of the style of japanese comedians who make people laugh with exaggerated facial expressions.
LOVEBITES love comedy、 as evidenced by live video of spellbound.
Midori-san’s nickname is crazy shredder.
Now she has strong personality.
I think Midori-san’s character wasn’t clear until then 、but since 2020 Japan tour 、she began her live performance with an exaggerated expression as if she had suddenly woken up. She is a dignified character、but at the same time she is also a very cute person.
@@赤井臣也 Agreed, and thank you! I hope to spend time in Japan next spring too learn much more!
Wasn’t expecting Metal Pilgrim with Lovebites - Fave channel & fave band!🐺🇪🇸🇯🇵🇺🇦🤘
Finally!! 🐺🤘🏻
