This show was from the Tokyo leg of Lovebites' recently concluded "Judgement Day" tour in Japan. The entire concert was LIVE streamed (paid) to an international audience and this video was a fan's rip from that stream. As such, what you heard was raw with no post-production, and the band still sounded absolutely amazing ! SSS was the last song on the set (14th track, excluding 1 piano solo by Miyako and 1 drum solo by Haruna) before 3 further encores, which equated to a total of 17 actual songs in a nearly 2-hour concert.
I decided not to buy into it! The first concert on DVD/bluray was enough! I have seen enough and I hope they kick butt next year but I will not be attending any live concert. I have seen them twice and that is enough for me. At 62, I have a Bloodstock festival to go to and Sepultura with Jinjer also to attend! After which I will retire from concerts! 44 years in attendance I think I have seen enough 😎🤟
Probably their quickest and most "lunatic" song. 😂 All of them on the pinnacle of their perfomance. "All engines up and running at top speed", as to say. 😁 "Clockwork Lovebites" delivering again. 😁 Simply imagine, that I was no fan of Speed Metal at all, for 35 years of being a Metalhead. Then I got to know Lovebites. And I _love_ their high-paced songs (like this) as much as most of their others. 😊 As a confessing personal fan of Haruna (the drummer), I have to praise her for her outstanding performance once more, which is keeping this song together. Her relentless drumming even at insane speed is obvious. She keeps any pace, once given, for any song , at any length of any live show. If an eartquake should happen: "F*** the earthquake!" 😂 She won't change for anybody or anything. 😁 That fills me with awe. 🐺
So, I've seen this before, and made this comment before. This song explores the edge of Lovebites' musical abilities. Every single musician in the band is maxed out! If you watched their album reveal, you will remember the signs they kept raising, Haruna-san's kept saying"Fast", Asami-san's said "High", Miyako-san, the composer's said, "I'm sorry"! But here's the thing, the simple fact that these ladies pulled this particular song off live, is nothing short of amazing!!! Not only did they pull it off, but they did it "WELL"! If these ladies aren't the true speed queens in this crazy world of hours, I have no idea who else it could be! The performance of this song takes something, I sincerely hope they don't have, in reality, but figuratively speaking, they have in spades, "BALLS"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Excellent job ladies. Much, much,much Respect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wolfpack forever!!!
Unfortunately the video quality is low. The video does not convey all the beauty of this song and the magnificent playing of the musicians. The recording was made from a live broadcast of the LOVEBITES concert on YT . During recording from YT, the quality decreases. When the captured video is subsequently posted on YT, “compression” occurs. YT can do this to “save” space 🤬 When “compressed”, the quality of the picture and sound decreases compared to the source material. Plus, the loss of image and sound quality occurs when Reactors publish a reaction on their channel. Result: Asami's voice stands out noticeably against the general background and in some places seems to be separated from the music. Guitars can be heard, but not clearly. Haruna's drums don't stand out well, unfortunately, they blend into the general background. Many nuances of Haruna’s magnificent playing “do not emerge.” The same can be said about Fami’s bass. It would be good if Reactors checked the original song (audio) from the Album immediately after this video. I think they would be much more impressed by Haruna's playing, Fami's bass, Midori and Miyako's guitars. As well as the song as a whole.
@@ChadTheDragonLord The reduction in recording quality due to compression also affected the audio of Asami's voice. But at least Asami was more or less audible, unlike, for example, Haruna’s drums and cymbals, the fullness of sounds of which was often lost against the general background. Including at the very beginning of the song. Haruna's work (drums and cymbals) on the original (Album) is superb.
Perhaps my favourite on Judgement Day. Normally I'm an "even better live" person, but I recommend you listen to the studio version on your own time. Like you said, it's so melodic despite being relentless.
15th & last song of the main-set, SSS begins after 80minutes of playing including Haruna's drum solo. 3minutes from end of SSS to begin 3-song, 19minute encore & 4minutes of unity-with and gratitude-for their audience. Phenomenal band, phenomenal performance. 🐺 dreg👁

It must really be a long time since you last reacted to LOVEBITES that you said "Akane" instead of "Asami" by the end of your analysis lol. Thanks for the reaction, btw. Their musicality are indeed off the chart 🤘🏼🔥🐺🔥🤘🏼
LOVEBITES' world tour 2024 was just announced! Many more dates to come! THE THIN LINE BETWEEN LOVE AND HATE - WORLD TOUR 2024 June 22th, 2024: Cartagena, Spain (Rock Imperium Festival) June 26th-29th, 2024: Vivero, Lugo, Spain (Resurrection Fest XIX) June 28th, 2024: Clisson, France (Hellfest 2024) September 1st, 2024: Tokyo, Japan (Tokyo Garden Theater) September 6th, 2024: Atlanta, Georgia, USA (ProgPower USA XXIII)
Leave it to LOVEBITES to play their most challenging song as the very last song of the set before the encore. This is probably their fastest song in terms of speed, with Haruna needing to constantly do a double kick for its entire length. Asami has to hit her highest register of notes repeatedly, not just once or twice, but with every verse and every chorus, and Midori and Miyako have one of their fastest and most extensive guitar solos and harmonies while on complete opposite sides of the stage, making it even harder to be in sync because they can't see each other. And Fami gets a bass solo too. Poor Asami must have been worn out at this point. To hear this song's perfection I do recommend the studio version.
Prove that they are super band. I'm proud of them. Now they prepare for world tour and i'm still hope they introduce 1 new song in the middle of that. Thanks guys 👍🤘
I believe Miyako tried to take it a bit down on speed and melody to make it more "comfortable" for Asami and Haruna. But it didn't work, since it lost some of it's energy. So they went with it... Still during the live-premiere-stream of the album, Miyako apologised to them. But love the rest too... the neo-classical guitarwork is sublime, and gives resemblance to Malmsteen etc..
ASAMI Great・Excellent・Amazing high tone voice🔥🤘 MIDORI Sonic Shredder🔥🤘 MIYAKO Sound Magician🔥🤘 HARUNA mowing down the audience with the Vulcan cannon🔥🤘 Fami I can play the bass like a guitar Ahhh of course I can play the guitar too🔥🤘 Elegant,・Ⅼuxurious・Gorgeous Awoooooooo🐺🔥🤘
It was unbelievable thru this quality of video and audio that we clearly can appreciate their amazing technique and tightness of this very demanding song. Thank you for doing this and your professional analysis. I loved it!
Thank you so much for this reaction video! Great reaction video! For me, this song is the best song from Lovebites! True masterpiece "par excellance"! Lovebites is one of my favorite bands from Japan! Another great all-female band from Japan is Nemophila! Have a nice day!
oh man, I was at that concert and it was mind-blowing. "just one of their songs" .. you are right, this was like song #16 in a row with hardly a break yet they play it as fresh as if it was the set opener!
Guys you got my vote after talking about "Girlschool " and Motorhead! I remember both very well in the early 80s and seen both live! Girlschool for me were the first all female metal band!

Good reaction guys. In the video you mentioned some of the early girl bands but I think you left out the best 1 that is Fanny from the seventies check them out and they are still going today.
The fact that fans keep claiming that there was a bad crowd here is very unfair. You have to consider that the hall was generously seated and there was no beer to buy on site. All bad conditions for the audience to get into the mood. Actually, you have to say that the people were still quite lively and in a good mood for these conditions. The new LP contains 4 such absolute high speed songs and at this concert the women played all four of them: We Are The Resurrection Judgement Day Dissonance Soldier Stands Solitarily 95% of the fans had bet that this phenomenal live concert would be released on DVD for Christmas. Only the devil knows why they didn't do it ... It would have made this year the perfect year for Lovebites, the most perfect come back I've ever seen. But it has to be said that 2023 was a great year for Lovebites.
The CD/DVD/Blu-ray of 'Knockin at Heaven's Gate - Part II' , which was recorded on March 12, 2023, was released for Christmas (December 20, 2023). There is no point in releasing two different concerts at the same time. Everything has its time. This concert will most likely be released in 2024. Possibly as a limited edition with the new LOVEBITES Album.🤗
@@GrayFox14 Yes, I know that. I've ordered both the DVD and the CD of it. For us long-time fans, that's not an issue, especially if we come from wealthy countries. But many fans from poorer countries or younger fans who are not yet earning so well couldn't order this time. Many of the songs on the DVD have already been sold 5 or 6 times over the years. If you don't have the money, you'll think twice about buying it ... The Lovebites women don't seem to be satisfied either. If you have produced a lot of DVDs, you not only lose the profit from the unsold copies but also block existing capital for the items that have to be stored ...
@@ChadTheDragonLord Music is a pleasure. Eating and drinking are also pleasures. It's not about trying alcohol. If you want to entertain thousands of people, that's all part of it. It is also a fact that a certain number of people get into a better mood with a little alcohol, and actively participate during the concert. Whether this is sad or not is irrelevant.
Great review. Yes Haruna doesn't make unnecessary move because naturally she has to push the freight train for a couple of hours, but that makes some UTube reactors misunderstand. Some reactors described her boring. I guess it is because she doesn't swing and banging around her head like crazy and gets her sweat and hair all over. Some people want just visual show and don't care about the sound. Those people complain about Lovebites' less animated performances and Miyako's cool expression. They want a show like Cirque du Soleil instead of a concert.
HARUNA has been my favorite drummer for the past few years and the work she does is by far better than any one today. Her parts in swan song is amazing. 4' 9" power house.
Such a hard song to sing especially at the end of a show i think. The vocal jumps are so difficult. You could tell it wasnt official audio but still amazing.
your more then likely gonna get crap from the wolfpack about this vid i am pretty sure it was a pay to stream event i think it helps them , they already made what ever they were gonna from the show this gives more exposure to the band and it has been up for months already without being taken down........
A lot of Lovebites live footage you see here on UA-cam was uploaded illegally, either from DVD/BR or pay-per-view live stream. The band has released only a handful of videos of live material, so watch out for that!
Great reaction guys. Great song but I wish they'd titled it "Solitary Soldier" rather than the tongue twisting SSS 😊😊. Even Haruna has referred to this one being 'fast'.
I believe there's a good reason why they didn't call it "Solitary Soldier". Abbreviate this and it's just "SS". Then you have "SS" and "Soldier" in the same breath. Unfortunately, we have a lot of conspiracy theorists floating around and this may become unnecessarily controversial for the band. Just speculating...
Greetings friend. A video with poor production, but anyway, the point is to see these wonderful girls in action. This song is a challenge, a challenge. Very difficult for Asami to sing, she has a hard time getting there, but she sings it with dignity (and always pretty). And Haruna also has to work hard, the guitars too... These girls are tremendous, but I prefer songs where they really enjoy themselves, they don't need to prove anything. There are songs in the studio that are impossible to reproduce live, but these ladies do it. Not like other groups (Judas Priest playing Painkiller, for that matter).
🐺❤❤❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 frak that guy that said that crap about females playing heavy metal he needs to explain himself to all the woman in his life.... no wait he probably doesn't have any lol
My favorite song on the new album. Sadly this was not good quality in sound or picture. And this is not Asami s best performance either. But as usual great reaction from you guys. Hope u listen to the album or a better live recording than this. Cause this is a masterpiece.
Asami performed well. This is a “pirated” recording from a broadcast of a paid concert on YT. YT "compresses" the video when posting. YT “compressed” the video when the person posted this recording on his channel. Then he “compressed” the recording again when Reactors published their reaction. Accordingly, the quality of the picture and sound has greatly decreased compared to the original. 🤗
I thought her voice sounded severely strained at this point. She did an admiral job reaching the high notes but couldn't sustain them and maintain the quality of the notes. She will wear out her vocal chords I think.@@GrayFox14
You can tell how intense this is by the fact that Haruna's hair actually got mussed up. Almost never happens. You are so right--she is one of the most economical drummers I've ever seen. Only Senri Kawaguchi may be better in that regard. Miyako wrote this. Another case of daring themselves to pull it off live.
They yet have to release a decently mixed live version of this song where you can actually hear bass & drums. This version sounds like it was miked from (bad) headphones. The album version is absolutely incredible, maybe the pinnacle of their work so far. Compared to it this ripped version is very underwhelming, unfortunately.
I'm not a fan of this live video at all. They can do better and I hope they release a better version in the future. This was an illegally recorded upload.
@@ChadTheDragonLord Pourquoi "cracher dans la soupe"... si vous n'êtes pas content... essayez de sortir votre propre extrait SSS de ce concert... Moi, j'ai payé 27 euros pour le voir en direct, je n'ai pas téléchargé ce concert et je suis bien content que quelqu'un l'ai mis en ligne malgré sa qualité médiocre... médiocre comme votre commentaire.
Nice reaction. Next you should try « burden of time » live. The song is of course as usual perfect, but this has something special and maybe your have never see something like that…
Yo no haría esa comparación entre Babymetal y Lovebites. Es decir, hablamos que LB son excelentes músicos, diferente el caso de Babymetal que son chicas que hacen coreografias pero no tocan instrumentos. Si a BM les quitamos los músicos queda solamente un grupo Kpop.
@rubenrada3493 So, would you apply those same standards to any other solo artists who use hired guns to go on tour and do session work? Taylor Swift, Alice Cooper, Ozzy Osborne, Dwight Yoakum, the list goes on and on. Madonna and Michael Jackson hired studio musicians to record their music and tour with them. All of those people earned their status the same way Babymetal did.
@@MegaHogzilla Taylor no se hace llamar "Cantante o grupo de Metal", pero BM si lo hace, pese a quedar en evidencia que las chicas solo hacen coreografias.
@@ChadTheDragonLord Asami did a great job in her role. No worse than at all other LOVEBITES concerts. I think that 'laughingbuddha2948' will say about the same about any other LOVEBITES concert.Most likely, he was accustomed to a different style of vocalists singing and behavior on stage. Stereotypes.
@@JasonandNance15You're right. They don't need to be bouncing all across the stage to be great. Look at Slayer. Anyone gonna say they suck because they aren't bouncing around like Poison?
This show was from the Tokyo leg of Lovebites' recently concluded "Judgement Day" tour in Japan. The entire concert was LIVE streamed (paid) to an international audience and this video was a fan's rip from that stream.

Great summary, I was going to give some background on this clip and you took care of it!
FG-Bo! Your almost 100%! Except that one you missed - you must be just twitching! Want me to tell you which one it is??? It’ll cost yah!
...one of the best heavy metal song of All Time. Period. Looking Haruna smiling while she is destroying her drums set? …humanly insane!!!!
Haruna is an amazing drummer!!! The way she has her kit setup is super efficient and allows for a lot of speed!!!!
SSS is Lovebites most impressive song. Miyako outdid herself. Another absolute masterpiece executed amazingly well.
LOVEBITES = 5 masters of musician at the same band.
That was raw with no post Greatest metal band in the world. That's an amazing metal song. One of the best I have ever heard, honestly.

LOVEBITES - Soldier Stands Solitarily lyrics:
If tomorrow never comes
Was it ever even here? Nobody knows
Trying to find key to the door
It's me and no one else
All in my hand
Things aren't as easy as "right" and "wrong'
You only need one thing to be proud of
Solitary soldier
Fighting till the end
I'm not satisfied
Solitary fire
Even with the scars
I'm not satisfied
If I can take it all back
Daydreaming won't change a thing, so worthless
Life is always back and forth of hurting and getting hurt
Can't change this
I have been searching for something long
Not enough time to care what others think
Solitary soldier
Fighting till the end
I'm not satisfied
Solitary fire
Even with the scars
I'm not satisfied
SOLOS: miyako / midori / both
Things aren't as easy as "right" and "wrong'
You only need one thing to be proud of
Solitary soldier
Fighting till the end
I'm not satisfied
Solitary fire
Even with the scars
I'm not satisfied
Solitary soldier
Fighting till the end
I'm not satisfied
Solitary fire
Even with the scars
I'm not satisfied

Each of your reactions is marked with a star (*).
Good reaction guys. In the video you mentioned some of the early girl bands but I think you left out the best 1 that is Fanny from the seventies check them out and they are still going today.
The fact that fans keep claiming that there was a bad crowd here is very unfair. You have to consider that the hall was generously seated and there was no beer to buy on site. All bad conditions for the audience to get into the mood. Actually, you have to say that the people were still quite lively and in a good mood for these conditions.
The new LP contains 4 such absolute high speed songs and at this concert the women played all four of them:
We Are The Resurrection
Judgement Day
Dissonance
Soldier Stands Solitarily
95% of the fans had bet that this phenomenal live concert would be released on DVD for Christmas.
Only the devil knows why they didn't do it ...
It would have made this year the perfect year for Lovebites, the most perfect come back I've ever seen. But it has to be said that 2023 was a great year for Lovebites.
The CD/DVD/Blu-ray of 'Knockin at Heaven's Gate - Part II' , which was recorded on March 12, 2023, was released for Christmas (December 20, 2023). There is no point in releasing two different concerts at the same time. Everything has its time. This concert will most likely be released in 2024. Possibly as a limited edition with the new LOVEBITES Album.🤗
If it takes alcohol to get into a good mood that is sad. I don't think the lack of beer had anything to do with it.
@@ChadTheDragonLord I agree. If in order to enjoy the concert of your favorite band, you definitely need beer, etc. this is bad
@@GrayFox14 Yes, I know that. I've ordered both the DVD and the CD of it. For us long-time fans, that's not an issue, especially if we come from wealthy countries.
But many fans from poorer countries or younger fans who are not yet earning so well couldn't order this time. Many of the songs on the DVD have already been sold 5 or 6 times over the years. If you don't have the money, you'll think twice about buying it ... The Lovebites women don't seem to be satisfied either.
If you have produced a lot of DVDs, you not only lose the profit from the unsold copies but also block existing capital for the items that have to be stored ...
@@ChadTheDragonLord Music is a pleasure. Eating and drinking are also pleasures. It's not about trying alcohol. If you want to entertain thousands of people, that's all part of it. It is also a fact that a certain number of people get into a better mood with a little alcohol, and actively participate during the concert. Whether this is sad or not is irrelevant.
🤘🏼 Up to THE MAIDENS QUEENS OF HEAVY METAL 🤘🏼🐺
Great review. Yes Haruna doesn't make unnecessary move because naturally she has to push the freight train for a couple of hours, but that makes some UTube reactors misunderstand. Some reactors described her boring. I guess it is because she doesn't swing and banging around her head like crazy and gets her sweat and hair all over. Some people want just visual show and don't care about the sound. Those people complain about Lovebites' less animated performances and Miyako's cool expression. They want a show like Cirque du Soleil instead of a concert.
So True Bro.
HARUNA has been my favorite drummer for the past few years and the work she does is by far better than any one today. Her parts in swan song is amazing. 4' 9" power house.
Beautiful full talented
5 meteors
thank you lovebites
It’s rare to see haruna play so desperately!.
Asami sang this after doing a setlist that anyone else would have run away.
after singin' Asami sighed.
Exactly!!! Not a song you would want to sing at the last part of a show.
Miyako apologizing to Asami and Haruna for pushing them to the limit, what a crazy song.
Another MIYAKO masterpiece!
Lovebites ✨💯🎸🔥
Did she just say, everybody scream me ?
🤘🏽LOVEBITES RULES🤘🏽
The glorious Lovebites. Love this band so much.🐺💪🤘
How fast is Haruna going?
Such a hard song to sing especially at the end of a show i think. The vocal jumps are so difficult. You could tell it wasnt official audio but still amazing.
your more then likely gonna get crap from the wolfpack about this vid i am pretty sure it was a pay to stream event i think it helps them , they already made what ever they were gonna from the show this gives more exposure to the band and it has been up for months already without being taken down........
today they released an official live video of this song with muuuuch better sound. just saying.
Super Sonic 🔥🤘
In fact, during the show
Nuno Bettencourt was in the audience
The girls might have been a little nervous
A lot of Lovebites live footage you see here on UA-cam was uploaded illegally, either from DVD/BR or pay-per-view live stream. The band has released only a handful of videos of live material, so watch out for that!
Great reaction guys. Great song but I wish they'd titled it "Solitary Soldier" rather than the tongue twisting SSS 😊😊. Even Haruna has referred to this one being 'fast'.
I believe there's a good reason why they didn't call it "Solitary Soldier". Abbreviate this and it's just "SS". Then you have "SS" and "Soldier" in the same breath. Unfortunately, we have a lot of conspiracy theorists floating around and this may become unnecessarily controversial for the band. Just speculating...
Greetings friend.
A video with poor production, but anyway, the point is to see these wonderful girls in action.
This song is a challenge, a challenge. Very difficult for Asami to sing, she has a hard time getting there, but she sings it with dignity (and always pretty). And Haruna also has to work hard, the guitars too...
These girls are tremendous, but I prefer songs where they really enjoy themselves, they don't need to prove anything.
There are songs in the studio that are impossible to reproduce live, but these ladies do it.
Not like other groups (Judas Priest playing Painkiller, for that matter).
🐺❤❤❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 frak that guy that said that crap about females playing heavy metal he needs to explain himself to all the woman in his life.... no wait he probably doesn't have any lol
My favorite song on the new album. Sadly this was not good quality in sound or picture. And this is not Asami s best performance either.
But as usual great reaction from you guys.
Hope u listen to the album or a better live recording than this.
Cause this is a masterpiece.
Asami performed well. This is a “pirated” recording from a broadcast of a paid concert on YT. YT "compresses" the video when posting. YT “compressed” the video when the person posted this recording on his channel. Then he “compressed” the recording again when Reactors published their reaction. Accordingly, the quality of the picture and sound has greatly decreased compared to the original. 🤗
I thought her voice sounded severely strained at this point. She did an admiral job reaching the high notes but couldn't sustain them and maintain the quality of the notes. She will wear out her vocal chords I think.@@GrayFox14
Wolfpack here visiting your channel.
🤘🤘🤘🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🔥🔥🔥
Love bites is never done until Asami says the catchphrase. We are love bites and we play heavy metal.
What the hell, is this garage sound and video quality???
You can tell how intense this is by the fact that Haruna's hair actually got mussed up. Almost never happens. You are so right--she is one of the most economical drummers I've ever seen. Only Senri Kawaguchi may be better in that regard. Miyako wrote this. Another case of daring themselves to pull it off live.
They yet have to release a decently mixed live version of this song where you can actually hear bass & drums. This version sounds like it was miked from (bad) headphones. The album version is absolutely incredible, maybe the pinnacle of their work so far. Compared to it this ripped version is very underwhelming, unfortunately.
I'm not a fan of this live video at all. They can do better and I hope they release a better version in the future. This was an illegally recorded upload.
@@ChadTheDragonLord Pourquoi "cracher dans la soupe"... si vous n'êtes pas content... essayez de sortir votre propre extrait SSS de ce concert... Moi, j'ai payé 27 euros pour le voir en direct, je n'ai pas téléchargé ce concert et je suis bien content que quelqu'un l'ai mis en ligne malgré sa qualité médiocre... médiocre comme votre commentaire.
The band and their label specifically asked us not to record and upload videos from the live stream. It is illegal. @@katafalkk
Haruna 😮 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Nice reaction. Next you should try « burden of time » live. The song is of course as usual perfect, but this has something special and maybe your have never see something like that…
have you seen Fami do a cover for alien alien? its the reason i know who lovebites is lol
"These girls rock harder than you" is also what Rob Zombie said about Babymetal when naysayers gave them some grief.
Yo no haría esa comparación entre Babymetal y Lovebites. Es decir, hablamos que LB son excelentes músicos, diferente el caso de Babymetal que son chicas que hacen coreografias pero no tocan instrumentos. Si a BM les quitamos los músicos queda solamente un grupo Kpop.
@rubenrada3493 So, would you apply those same standards to any other solo artists who use hired guns to go on tour and do session work? Taylor Swift, Alice Cooper, Ozzy Osborne, Dwight Yoakum, the list goes on and on. Madonna and Michael Jackson hired studio musicians to record their music and tour with them. All of those people earned their status the same way Babymetal did.
@@MegaHogzilla Taylor no se hace llamar "Cantante o grupo de Metal", pero BM si lo hace, pese a quedar en evidencia que las chicas solo hacen coreografias.
Haruna Haruna Haruna! Love this song.
Such horrible quality video oof. Probably not the best way to hear this beast of a song.
Economy of motion. Haruna can't show off, or she would be dead by the end of the first half. 15 seconds later... HARUNA SOLO BREAK! SURPRISE SUCKA!
Fix your audio
Couldn't wait for another rminute til the end before blabbering?
Sorry, but there's something boring about the lead singer.
This wasn't her best performance. She has much better performances in their other videos.
@@ChadTheDragonLord Asami did a great job in her role. No worse than at all other LOVEBITES concerts. I think that 'laughingbuddha2948' will say about the same about any other LOVEBITES concert.Most likely, he was accustomed to a different style of vocalists singing and behavior on stage. Stereotypes.
There´s something way more boring about YOU! 😂
@@JasonandNance15 I understood you .😊
@@JasonandNance15You're right. They don't need to be bouncing all across the stage to be great. Look at Slayer. Anyone gonna say they suck because they aren't bouncing around like Poison?
Powder puff metal
🤘
