    Miyako is first of all a great musician, she writes, composes and arranges, she perfectly plays piano and keyboards, guitar, bass and even a bit of drum's, in this concert she was 4 months pregnant, Miyako is incredible, great song and great reaction!🤘🏼🎸🥁🎤🐺💖🇯🇵🇮🇹

      @@andretogol I have no doubt the new bassist will be the equal of Miho as a musician. The real loss is Miho's leadership, songwriting and stage presence. I trust Miyako to take up the songwriting slack. We will have to wait and see about stage presence. Impossible to replace Miho's leadership.

    You picked up on some of the things that endeared me to this performance, from Haruna's smiling "I've got this" countenance, to the fabulous synched solo with guitar and keytar. The ladies obviously had a lot of fun playing this song. Note Asami pointing and laughing at Miyako (in sympathy?) as she resumes the vocal phrase. With Miho rocking out as well , it's the most relaxed I've ever seen them. And Miyako was pregnant, her stamina throughout this 2 hour concert is incredible. I suggest buying the Heavy Metal Never Dies blu ray if you don't have it, one of the best live concert productions you'll ever see.

    LOVEBITES - Spellbound lyrics:
    Once upon a time, there was a girl with beautiful hair
    It was a breathtaking beauty, yes even for God
    Unforgiving love will make you blind to see calamity
    Approaching and already at your feet
    Until you're put under a curse
    No one comes closer
    No one is looking anymore
    Even plants, even birds, butterflies, trees and flowers
    No longer attractive
    Nobody know what was lost
    Even stars, even clouds, the sky and the sun and the moonlight
    People don't realize how badly their sins can hurt someone
    Should they be forgiven ?
    Or have they sinned for eternity ?
    Which one has hers ?
    One day her beautiful hair turned into demons
    Feared by everyone, she's left alone and avoided
    Unforgiving sins will bring you closer to your judgement day
    Leaving you with nothing left to say
    Until you are out of time
    No one comes closer
    No one is looking anymore
    Even plants, even birds, butterflies, trees and flowers
    No longer attractive
    Nobody know what was lost
    Even stars, even clouds, the sky and the sun and the moonlight
    People don't realize how badly their sins can hurt someone
    Should they be forgiven ?
    Or have they sinned for eternity ?
    Which one has hers ?
    No one comes closer
    No one is looking anymore
    Even plants, even birds, butterflies, trees and flowers
    No longer attractive
    Nobody know what was lost
    Even stars, even clouds, the sky and the sun and the moonlight
    No one comes closer
    No one is looking anymore
    Even plants, even birds, butterflies, trees and flowers
    No longer attractive
    Nobody know what was lost
    Even stars, even clouds, the sky and the sun and the moonlight
    In her last moment the blood from her nect came alive
    Asking for love and forgiveness
    Why have you come, Holy Pegasus ?
    God, is she free now ?

    This is a hidden gem that you can only find on the unreleased EP Golden Destination, and it is a very rare CD it may not be available any longer. The other hidden gem on the EP is Puppet on a String which is also a phenomenal song, I too agree with the sound mixing on this live show on the Audio track it is completely different and you can hear Midori very well. The other two songs on the EP is Golden Destination and Thunder Vengeance with an Orchestra sound behind it.

    Well you covered everything about this performance that resonate with me too. Except for one thing. That massive smile of Midori's at the end as she triumphantly punches the air. She was so happy with what just went down. All the 'White Wolves' had a blast with this one.
    As to your comments about Haruna. In every Lovebites video I re-watch (many times) I concentrate on Haruna in the background in every shot, past the rest of the band members. We see so many fun things with her, through the whole performance. Smiles, head shakes, stick flicks, looks of satisfaction, relief, and of course, at times, absolute concentration. A true little Princess.

    I've seen Miyako play some nice slap bass and goof around with the drums doing a boom chick boom boom chick rhythm along with the hi hat, then a slow tom roll. Bth are on her Instagram and on my channel. The drums thing at the end of the Haruna clip compilation and the bass is in one of the badly-edited Miyako compilations (don't subscribe to me). She knows what she's doing on the bass, but I don't think Haruna has anything to worry about.

    • @PaleHorseShabuShabu
      @PaleHorseShabuShabu 2 роки тому +1

      Regarding the keytar, that is a Roland AX-Edge. The black pad is a modulation bar, and Miyako can program it to modulate in various ways. It's pressure sensitive, too. I don't have any experience with one of these, but if I wanted a synthy sound, I'd want one of these units.

    And on top of playing the keytar standing up, she’s resting it on Miyako Jr. I watched her livestream on Instagram today (she said hi and waved in response to a hi from me ….I’m like a kid! I don’t care!) and of course several people had to keep asking her about the bassist. She paused a second, smiled, searched for the English word (because she was speaking 90% Japanese) and said “please wait”, still smiling. As if she was ever going to tell them on a livestream. Tantalisingly close, but it’s coming. And I’m dreading the comparisons from those who can’t get their heads around Miho leaving, despite it being 13 months ago and her choice..

    You're right about the strong 80s vibe in this song, but aside from that, it reminds me of Cyntia, who were the biggest and best band of the "girls metal boom" for a few years in the early 2010s, although for some reason they rarely ever get mentioned. Cyntia were the first of those bands to get signed to a major label, which some people think was the beginning of their downfall, but that's another story...but they charted several times, as high as number 9 on the Japanese Oricon chart (only Aldious charted higher at 7) and their first three albums are absolute classics. They're one of the big 4 along with Destrose, Aldious, and Mary's Blood, who newer fans of Lovebites, Band-Maid, Nemophila etc. have all discovered while remaining largely oblivious to Cyntia, which is weird...anyway, I keep straying from my point, which is that Ayano occasionally whipped out her keytar and did duel leads with Yui the guitarist, and this song always reminds me of them, especially songs like Night Flight for example (ua-cam.com/video/318sXtmbSj4/v-deo.html).
    I'm enjoying your channel, I like your demeanor and insights. I don't care for a lot of "reactors" who seem phony and seem more about themselves than the band they're "reacting" to. Some are loudmouths, some are clearly over- reacting and just come across as fake, but I don't know, maybe it's just me.

    This song kind of reminded me of Petra; there's some dating material for you. Towards the end, they used a keytar a lot. And Haruna was probably enjoying the break; this song is slower than what she usually does. And if you look close at Miyako, especially when her stomach is exposed, you will see a baby bump. She was 4 and a half months pregnant. Eddie was good, but he never tried that one.... The new bassist was supposed to be announced in August, but Asami said they need a little more time. I guess they found several good bassists and are having trouble choosing just one

    One of my least favorites from them but I still dig it. Sounds like Dream Evil Era Dio as Well as VH. But it still has that insane speed underneath. This song is one of the few that Midori's parts are a bit low in the mix. I took plenty of heat for pointing this out as well. Like our Reactor I am a Guitarist first so I prefer the guitar in front even when playing along with keytar.

    Nah as someone who absolutely loves synthesizers the synth is too loud in this mix. It should be like 30% quieter. It's such a fat bright sound, it's competing with both Midori and Asami's vocals. It's not so dominant in the studio track. Regardless this song is so much fun, it's hard for me to complain about and it's not their fault anyways, it's whoever mixed it.

    I've nerver talked a lot about Miho's leaving the band since last summer 2021, but IMO (and only mine) there's a problem with Miyako and Asami trying to take full control of the band. Those two are very very close, especially now they both are mothers, and I think issues began long ago, which lead to Miho leaving. I wouldn't have been suprised Haruna and Midori quitting too, to join Miho in a new project. I guess we'll get the answer when we hear the direction the new "heaviness" of the songs without Miho's natural "heavy metal feeling" touch.

      I enjoy this song but it would be somewhere at the bottom of my Lovebites song ranking. This is one of the handful of Mao songs. They probably play it in concert because it gives them a break from the fast-pace of most of their other songs, especially for Haruna. In this performance it was fun to see Miyako get out of her comfort zone a bit with the acting

    Watch her doing their early stuff. Before they got these made up personas.
