these young ladies are the real deal; great technique and dynamics...I could actually see them going in a prog metal direction like Dream Theater or Haken or Opeth
Lovebites is a 2 year old band and doing very well in Asia and Europe! I'm hoping for a US tour someday soon! You pronounced my name correctly! Great reaction guys! Lots of great asian meta bands out there. Good hunting!
In Japan how a bands look vs how they sound is called the Gap and it's a big thing there, think Band-Maid. I read that the reason for wearing white is that they are small and they usually play with a black background wearing white make them stand out.
Thanks for reviewing this Lovebites video, great band . They are a relatively new band so there's not tons of quality live stuff out there , as say for instance Band-Maid. This band is only a couple of years old. There is their appearance at Bloodstock 2018 and Wacken 2018. A good fancam video is from O2 in London with the song Break the Wall. Link: th-cam.com/video/gdRJuT7DMe0/w-d-xo.html .
The video promo section is something to do with the record company insisting the video was used to advertise their tour, from my understanding. Thanks for your reaction. Good to see ladies in rock who can actually play and not just token women for sex appeal, in a music video.
"The Crusade" th-cam.com/video/ueKyQ4xI-mY/w-d-xo.html should be your next one, it's their tribute to Iron Maiden's Aces High. Midori and Miyako are the two dual lead guitarists, easily the best shredders i've witnessed in 20 years. They already won awards, Best new Metal band of 2018 at the Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards. They've already released 4 albums since 2017...1 Live, 1 EP and 2 full studio albums, they are Prolific. And they'll be opening for super power metal group Dragonforce on their tour this fall.
Don’t think it applies to bridesmaid skirts, but does to costumes like Kami band. In Japan black is formal but not scary. White is the color of the shroud used on corpses, which are kept in the living room for days for viewing services. So white there is not anti-darkness like here, & not just ghostlike, but scary as in color of death
I did read they choose white as it makes them stand out on a black stage especially with their height and the distance. I saw them live at Hyper Japan 2017. They were amazing. The leader has an stunning voice. Another band, better live.
I’ve seen about 5 interviews, (all together tons of great fan info, but wish it was all in one, but I found this answer easily), here they answer about the white. I think it’s also to associate just a tiny bit with Aldious-type gowns and girl/kawaii metal, or same reasoning at least, distinguished... wwe.th-cam.com/video/s48Jrd21qFE/w-d-xo.html
Also there is the "Yuki Onna" - "Snow Woman" trope. Their all-white nude woman who blends into the snow, until she's on you and it's too late, when all you can see are her hair, eyes, and bush. The trope is sometimes cited as an influence on certain women that appear in anime with white hair and clothes, and seemingly no emotion.

Have you seen Aldious? They're often credited with pioneering the all female metal band trend in Japan. You might want to check them out when you get a chance. "Utopia" is one of my favorites of theirs. But "We Are" is their big "hit". Somewhat more commercial sounding to me though.

Its not possible to say "I don't like the dual solo." Those ladies are shredding it so hard. Edit: great commentary. The states is really lacking some good ol fashion rock/metal as of late. This is straight up Iron Maiden's alley.
You should see the official vids for Crusade and Don’t Bite The Dust first.

Interview from June with Miho-bass/founder & Midori-shredder#1(and English speaker) th-cam.com/video/THx68rLO-fI/w-d-xo.html
Midori and Mi-ya could easily be compared to the best of Tipton and Downing from Judas Priest or Adrian Smith and Dave Murray from Iron Maiden. I daresay they could compete with Hetfield and Hammett too.
I know you guys have already reacted to a couple of videos by Lovebites, enjoyed your comments. You really have to see them live. I've posted a link of a live performance of a song called "Thunder Vengeance" (from Five of a Kind DVD live in Japan). This is more a thrash song then a power metal tune. Hope you guys can react to this. th-cam.com/video/yWE7PqCpGi4/w-d-xo.html
Sorry they are ABOVE Baby Metal. THEY play all their own instruments and don't jump around like a bunch of little girls on too much sugar. LOVEBITES rules.
@@ChrisPage68Against the band yes. AND it is time for the band to stop dressing like idiots in white and looking like bad Halloween ghosts. Put on some heavy metal gear or at least something rock on stage. Personally though, I do NOT get the attraction of those three little girls jumping around singing in the style of a 5 year old.
@@Buzzramjet They are dressed in a traditional Japanese style. Try a little cultural sensitivity, pal. Metal has no uniform. The music is the important part.
Thanks for the review. There are a bunch of things I don't like about this song like the levels, the "clickie" sounding drums that sound like a fan hitting the radiator, the whole thing sounds too blended together making it hard to pick out instruments and the vocals just bug me a bit. It has some good performances, but it just doesn't sound right and crisp. Not a fan of Lovebites yet.

I love the fact that these ladies DON'T wear leather ,have tons of piercings ,or excessive tattoos! Their music does ALL the talking!!!
Totally agree. One of the things about Band Maid as well, is they have not downgraded their clothes to go totally for a sexualised look.
Great reaction, speed metal in Heels. It's the water or that Marty Friedman moved to Japan on 2003.
they’re very technical. best duo guitarist currently.

Watch and react to their new When Destiny Align video. You'll be blown away. And they are also that good LIVE. Amazing girls. Total madness.

Band maid/babymetal/lovebites/aldious/bridear/brats you can not go wrong.Damm pure talent .
Love the intensity of this
Love the "strings" in the background; clearly been listening to some Oriental Metal like maybe Myrath. Excellent.
@@hopsmetalshow3413 Really, really good. Serious about the synth strings; I love that sound.

The girls who married each other at Disney Tokyo wore traditional Western white
dresses, though one was asked to wear a tux.

@@Buzzramjet They could play against Babymetal's Kami Band and hold their own.
