    Wolfpack is here for LOVEBITES! This song reminds me of Europe "The Final Countdown", because of the keyboard/synth sound. Total 80's vibes! This is a great song, and a wonderful performance! It puts a smile on my face every time I see/hear it! They all look so happy playing this one, so that makes us happy too!

    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 ?

      ​@@polski21twelve70 Mao is a keyboardist/composer who has worked with Miho, Midori, and Asami, supporting their composing efforts and has provided some keyboard support on studio recordings. He is the only 'non-band-member' that has been so involved. Due to his not being 'in the band' I believe he gets 'writing credit' whenever he contributes, as opposed to Midori, for example, who writes her own solos, but is not credited for those contributions, If Mao made such a contribution, he would receive credit. He has provided the basic music for several songs, Holy War, Edge of the World & We The United, for example, but as a keyboardist, it is (in my opinion) the 'arrangements' by LOVEBITES members that make it all METAL, with the hyper-speed, tremolo-picked, palm-muted guitars and Haruna's drumming (!!!) in sync with Miho's bass work. Wonderful contributions by all. Mao writes no lyrics, as is also the case with Miyako, except Holy War which lyrics are credited to "LOVEBITES" so she is included. All 'to the best of my knowledge' ...

    Some time between Clockwork Immortality and Electric Pentagram they decided to go for a more regal presentation and playing their songs perfectly live. If you find a video from their Daughters of the Dawn DVD/BD they are way more animated but there are noticeable flaws. I have no idea how they'll change their presentation with the new bassist but I doubt they'll drop the achieving perfection part of it.

    • @jonasw3945

      Yes, they were a lot wilder at the beginning, like Wacken Open Air live and live Battle in the East. Recent Lovebites is more planed performing but I love both the wild natural Lovebites and Lovebites as well planed show like Swan Song, A Frozen Serenade, or Winds of Transylvania.....but Miho might not have liked it. Miho seemed enjoying free and loose workshop or jam session style performance.

This perfromance in particular is a restricted one they did in covid times, they can't be too much anymated, if you noticed even Asami never really did her crowd thing (raising her hand and fist or whatever).
      All performances are planned if you didn't know, they pratice and rehearse everything, Lovebites always played to a click track so nothing was improvised, they are still the same way they always been, they are just being more theatrical with it in this last performance

  • @Glynthepin
    @Glynthepin 2 роки тому +3

    You have to ask yourself if you were offered a chance to attend this concert with all the Covid restrictions including no shouting and cheering, would you go?
    To see Miyako move around and rock out, look at the earlier shows. Wacken gig and Bloodstock, both from 2018. The audio is poor for Bloodstock but you can still enjoy it and watch Miyako before the bizarre decision to make her the ice princess.
    As for the delay with the wireless, I reckon if there is any, it is all sorted in post production. Remember most of the videos you watch are 'lifted' from DVD's/Bluray's so have been post produced for balance, stereo mixing, reverb on the voice etc.

    • @michaelafrancis1361
      @michaelafrancis1361 2 роки тому +1

      Why would there be any delay with wireless transmission? Radio waves move at the speed of light so why would that be any slower than a signal running through a cable? There is no delay. I used radio microphones for performing for many years and never detected so much as a hint of a delay and the same is true of wireless guitar systems. I think most big bands use wireless systems these days. They just make more sense. They're a god send for avoiding all those blasted wires you used to have littering the stage with trip hazards and allow much freedom of movement around the stage. The only thing limiting Midori and Miyako's freedom are their pedal boards which they have to return to for various transitions such as effects and solos etc.

    Although I definitely like it, this isn't my favorite LBs song. However, it is fun to see the playful side of Miyako on stage. I've seen videos of her in her home studio, and there, she's funny and cute. I wish she'd let that side out on stage a little more. I am so impressed that she was able to do this two hour concert while being 4 months pregnant. She had to be absolutely exhausted afterwards. Her little dude or dudette is going to be the most bada** metal head ever. I just imagine, that if a sonogram was taken of her baby during the concert, that the baby was giving the horn sign with his/her little hand. :)

    Great review as always!! It's not "Above The Red Sky", It's either "Above The Black Sea" or "Under the Red Sky". Miyako composed these songs as love letters to Rachmaninov, that she said in an interview. Rachmaninov is her favorite composer. The motif of "Above" is Kamikaze pilots, and "Under" is about Atomic bombing. Both motifs are extremely tragic but softened by just symbolizing, and avoiding straight picturing.
    You can check the most animated, and wild, and sexy Miyako in a shiny black skin tight leather suite in this video. ua-cam.com/video/DXZ-qhxd1VI/v-deo.html
    It's not with Lovebites, she was doing parallel when they were starting up Lovebites in 2017. It's a unit with a female singer Aya Kamiki who is a model, an actress as well. They both are wild and beautiful. Miyako is playing a 7 string guitar in the clip.
