It's a real Gem of a song, It does not get played very often, but I always love hearing it. Asami's voice is so incredible, This concert was their first full length concert on Blu-ray. They played their full 1st album (Awakening from Abyss - 12 songs) and their new EP (Battle against Damnation - 4 songs). This was also before Miyako & Midori switched positions. In all their future Blu-rays from 2019 on, Midori & Miyako is on the opposite side of the stage.
When you have a vocalist with the voice of an angel and the awe-inspiring stage presence of Asami, and a band of virtuoso musicians throughout, with a catalogue of masterpieces, that's when you know your in the presence of #lovebites . They are a once in a lifetime band and I am so grateful to be alive to witness them. They are crazy good even when it's on screen, but once you see them live, it's a whole new experience. Simply put they are just awesome. 🤘🎸🎤🎹🥁🐺
Thank you for this wonderful song to start the day! This is from their first ever LIVE disc recorded June 28, 2018 at Shibuya Tsutaya O-East following release of EP "Battle Against Damnation" & being awarded "Best New Band" trophy by Metal Hammer Magazine in London and preceding August appearances at Wacken Open Air in Germany & Bloodstock Mainstage in the UK. In this fantastic show (that I just happened to have watched again, fully, non-stop last night!) they perform all 16 songs from both "Awakening From Abyss" CD & "Battle Against Damnation" EP. I have called "Inspire" Prog/Pop/Metal. A unique blend of genre, with Haruna ... how does one describe her drum arrangements?! A song Asami brought with her & has said it's manifestation by the band was significant in her decision to commit to LOVEBITES. Chosen to close their first ever performance as "LOVEBITES", leaving their audience with this empowering message throughout and the repeating, "Just Believe In Yourself" 8 times! This is the 'statement' (in so many of their songs) that captivated me and continues to hold my attention to this day. Relatively few 'fans' have heard these recordings because the Blu-ray/DVD was only available as "Limited Edition" with "Clockwork Immortality" CD and were hard-blocked on u2b until 'out-of-print' from Victor in summer of 2023. ua-cam.com/video/Jh5WS5IWAYc/v-deo.html (thanks to @MrUndeadNinja) Somehow, 'till now they have brought us 60 songs, each unique, each possessing surprising qualities musically, and even when lyrically confronting us with life's harshest-truths ("The Apocalypse" & "Under The Red Sky" address the catastrophic experience of being atomic-bombed), they encourage honesty, perseverance, empathy & integrity: LOVEBITES For me, so much more than 'a metal band' while also unsurpassed as 'a metal band'. 🐺 dreg👁

They aren't your average metal band. They will prove it over and over, they can do anything they want and pull it off. As soon as you think, yeah, they are a thrash band, or they are a speed metal band, they throw out something different.
As far as I know, that was the decisive Asami audition song back then. This song impressively shows her abilities, over the years she has obviously developed a lot, the last major boost was after the forced hiatus break and the birth of her child, she is a real force of nature, I'm always struggling to decide who is number 1 for me, Asami, Fuki or Mayu, at the moment it's more Asami, her performance is simply unbelievable at the moment. I don't have the slightest criticism of her. The band simply outshines everything, everyone has done better. The M&M team is number 1 on the planet at the moment, the guys can all look grim, they have to take a back seat, even though the girls are only a quarter of the way through their careers.
Haruna no doubt with Lovebites plays heavy metal, but due to her formal music training, this provides her the ability to read and write music with high precision execution of time signature dynamics. Thus, not surprisingly in her musical predisposition is that embedded deep seated jazz rock fusion feel in her heart. Due to this quality, she drives on an intellectual adventure while executing her musical prowess with Lovebites. The potential musical capacity of Lovebites seems unbounded, and if Mao, composer extraordinaire Miyako, and the rest decide that Lovebites will advance to an unprecedented level, the rhythm section need only smile with open welcoming hands.
A hidden gem from their first LP. To experience another side of the band, check out "Dancing with the Devil" LIVE : ua-cam.com/video/mJGgLFTPME8/v-deo.html
Has that Broadway feel, love it! Then switches to Megadeth basslines / solos...incredible. Believe this is from Battle in the East 2018 which sounds great. Regardless, a great mix! Next: A Frozen Serenade live 2021. The amazingness continues. 🤘

Awesome guitar player, I dont use to like women metal rock players I think they overreact. But this was very good. Thanks for sharing, pease metal brother🤘🏼💪🏻😊❤
Good song. This was the beginning of Lovebites - the first song that Asami sang with the band if I am not mistaken. She said so during one of their first overseas concerts in the UK. After saying that, this is my least favorite Lovebites song. Out of almost 60 songs, I ranked them all and one song had to fall at the bottom, and this one is it. Still a good song with great guitar solos though.

From their first DVD Battle in the East years ago! Awesome fun track, like you said just positive vibes, love that solo section too!! 🤘🔥
Always a great thing by Lovebites. Is it jazz metal?😂. They just can kill it. Great reaction friend. 👍

For me, so much more than 'a metal band' while also unsurpassed as 'a metal band'.
🐺 dreg👁
100% addicted to the ladies of #lovebites . The vocals of Asami, the musicianship of band, and the stage presence are, IMO, second to none. 🤘🎤🎸🎹🥁🐺
Thanks for watching and the link.
Wow! I have never seen this particular performance before, and it blew me away! Thanks for the reaction, these ladies always deliver their best! 🤘🐺🤘
Thanks for watching
A beautiful song.
Agree
LOVEBITES - Inspire lyrics:
Show me your heart and I'll make you believe
It won't be easy but that's what you pay
I will light the way - inspire
Shuddering choices
Pressuring voices
How do I know what 'right 'or 'wrong' is？
Turning a blind eye
Is easy to live by
But is that really how I want to be？
I can't pretend to myself any longer
Deep in the emptiness, envious of tomorrow
Show me your heart and I'll make you believe
It won't be easy but that's what you pay
Don't see no wall cause I'd break it down
Now is the time to begin, go ahead
I will light the way - inspire
Breathing deception
Screaming with caution
Lost in the greed for satisfaction
Still you're not hopeless
If you just notice
The answer is always deep inside your heart
Let's set it straight
You have no place to run away
Be the salvation, temptation ain't bringing me down
Don't need a reason, just follow your heart
All of the pain will be worth what you gain
Anything's possible if you dare
Won't be the one to give in to despair
I will lead the way - inspire
Blinded by weak emotions
They try to get in my way
Hot blooded foolishness ends in vain
Just change pain to power
Show me your heart and I'll make you believe
It won't be easy but that's what you pay
Don't see no wall cause I'd break it down
Now is the time to begin, go ahead
I will lead the way
Just believe yourself
I will light the way - inspire
Just believe in yourself
Just believe in yourself
Just believe in yourself
Just believe in yourself
Just believe in yourself
Just believe in yourself
Just believe in yourself
Just believe in yourself

Great lyrics. Thanks again.

This is the only time I have seen them perform this song. It was written by ARAKEN.
Great solo section, and I love Asami's vocals. 🤘🏼🐺🤘🏼
Asami showing off her R&B background with the killer vocals.
I love it when she goes there.
this song needs to be reacts!
anyway, thank you for stay tunes in
lovebites. 😊
This one Asami vocal is awesome next one do No Time To Hesitate any way great reaction always 🤘
Thanks for watching.
Whatever the song, Asami, and the rest of the ladies as well, never give less than 100%
I want to hear how Fami does this piece. They do the last gang vocal really good in the Studio Live version.
This is a R&B Metal!
Lovebites bringing the Thunder since 2016 !!
They aren't your average metal band. They will prove it over and over, they can do anything they want and pull it off. As soon as you think, yeah, they are a thrash band, or they are a speed metal band, they throw out something different.
it´s one of asamis credos: " if you have the ability to inspire other people, you´ve got to use this ability1"
Yep
As far as I know, that was the decisive Asami audition song back then.

From “Battle in the East” 🤘
When Miyako was blond -ish and Midori brunette. Love it.

I get the impression that Asami really likes to do these vocalisations. It's probably due to her R&B background.
