Another masterpiece. The lady who shuffled from the piano to shred the guitar and then back to the piano is Miyako. She's a concert-level pianist who has been trained on the keyboard since she was 3 years old. Miyako is a generational talent who is also an established music composer and arranger. Recently, she released her debut piano EP called "Étude Op.23" where she reimagined and interpreted 6 famous rock/metal songs into piano pieces. You should check those out too, they're amazing !
And yes, Miyako is a multi-instrumentalists, she plays piano/keyboards/keytar, drums, bass guitar, violin, cello and in her youth brass instruments. All other members can play the piano to, you can see singer Asami play the piano in the songs “Today Is The Day” and “We The United”
Miyako is unreal. The piano outro never fails to move me no matter how often I’ve heard it. Asami is a phenomenal singer and lyricist. This band is the complete package.
Miyako is basically a classic pianist who also plays guitar. Piano is her primary instrument. Miyako is an exceptional case. She is high level professional as both a pianist and a guitarist. She also sings professional second singer level, she harmonizes. She also plays drums and bass at level of high amateur or average professional. Midori plays key boards but never plays in concerts. Asami plays piano too but kind of hobby level, she occasionally plays piano on stage though. Fami plays keyboards and guitar of high amateur level as well, and I'm pretty sure she might play drums. Fami also sings. Haruna plays keyboards too.
Dude you've just discovered a transcendent band on a global mission. LOVEBITES is more than an excellent group of superbly talented musicians. That they made such great effort to sing such deep and meaningful lyrics ... in their in a language that's not their own ... are among the reasons why LOVEBITES is such an inspiration to me and so many fans.
For “Swan Song”, Miyako combined parts of two of her favorite classics: Chopin’s “Revolutionary Etude” and Dvorak’s “New World Symphony” Lyrics: Asami Music: Miyako Arrangement: Miyako/LOVEBITES
Haruna (Drummer) (Little Big Engine) 4'9" Asami (Vocals) (The One and Only Voice) 4'10" Midori (Blonde Guitarist) (The Crazy Shredder) 4'11" Miho (Bass) (Natural Born Headbanger) 5'1" Miyako (Dark Haired Guitarist) (The Golden Touch) 5'2" Fami (New Bassist) (Shinning Fingers) 5'2 1/2" Keep up the good work!!!!!
You expressed and demonstrated what many people feel, when they first witness this live video. It does not seem possible that a collection of talented ladies could 'gel' so well together. No ego's or prima donna complex from any member of Lovebites.
Miyako is a machine. I can’t get enough of watching her perform. She’s recently done solo piano recitals as well as all the rest. Just an amazing woman. ❤
Miyako also plays bass and can do pretty good on the drums. Asami also plays the piano and has on video. Midori can build guitars, she attended a vocational school. In Tokyo's music district there is shop that has a guitar on display that Midori built, Not for sale. Not sure about Haruna, she began playing drums in high school. Also not sure about Miho, though most bassists can play the guitar. Miyako is the primary composer, though all have written songs. Asami is the prime lyricist, she is fluent in English. Lived in LA for a while. Their new bassist, Fami, plays keyboards, guitar, sings and writes music.
My friend you haven't seen Lovebites with their new bass player yet. Miho, the original bassist and founder of the band (who has been in every video you've seen so far) decided to leave the band in August 2021 for personal reasons. Lovebites went on hiatus to take time recovering from the loss, while Asami and Miyako both got married and gave birth. Then in March/April 2022 they began holding bass auditions over the next several months and chose/hired Fami in October 2022. Fami was only 20 years old at the time, and is a phenom on bass. She has her own TH-cam channel with over 650K subscribers where she performs various bass covers. She joined Lovebites just as they were about to release their new comeback album, so she was only featured on a couple off their new songs. You can see her with the band in their four newest videos on the Lovebites channel. Start with "Judgement Day" live and be prepared to be blown away again!
their words are no empty words: at the end 2020 they were already ready to take the world. then corona came! they were able to do one restricted show in march 2021. then all cultural stuff including musical events were shut down for an unknown period of time, japanese prime minister stated that "music is not necessary". miyako became mother in the summer 0f 2021, asami and miyako both married their partners, I believe, and in august 2021 founder, backbone and bassplayer miho decided to leave the band. and on top all the daily stuff with family and household, I relally thought, they were done. but I underestimated their resilience and determination: they kept true to their words and after a hiatus of about two yearsm they were back with a new fantastic bassplayen a fantastic new album and better then ever. wath "the hammer of wrath live 2023 from their first show (knocking at heaven´s gate) after hiatus and with new basser fami and how asami screams "weeeee aaaaare baaaack!!!! this band has no peer.
when I first heard and saw them on TH-cam I was very stunned, I thought Heavy Metal was dead and apparently it just fell asleep and woke up with a vengeance, to become more perfect, more beautiful and more interesting, even the lyrics were very positive
For a beginner in the world of reaction and reactors, I've seen more than a thousand on the Lovebites group, and I must say you're doing very well. Sincerity shines through on screen, and that's what we expect as viewers.
You know what's even more amazing than Miyako's talent on both the guitar and the piano (and more instruments)? She's a lovely Star Wars geek. Also, despite her "stoïc" nature on stage, she's actually a very smiling and friendly lady when she's not performing (her own channel is very interesting, you can see her rehearse on piano, talking about guitars, trying to make a strap, replacing condensers or pickups, visiting music shops an trying gear and so on). And she's a mum too.
"Swan Song" is one of my absolute favorites. Goes directly to my soul. I concur doing "A Frozen Serenade" next, same caliber with even better visuals...
i like watching you how far you can hold your heart beat 😁 with this goddesses of metal LOVEBITES, common react another LOVEBITES videos 😃 is more shocking and almost unbelieveble songs of them
How often does it happen that 5 highly talented musicians form a band? This live perfection puts everything in the shade, doesn't it? I've never seen anything like that. How much practice, dedication and passion does it take to achieve this level?
This song is so beautiful, and probably my favorite from them, but then come the "E" songs and Frozen Serenade. And then sometimes I just want to thrash out with Break the Wall, Thunder Vengeance and Hammer of Wrath. What a band. My favorite of all time. They're so, so amazing.
Always remember what my Japanese professor used to say before finals: Anything you do in life, you're going to fail, but if you put in an honest effort, that will get you points. Leave the answer blank = no effort = no points. Fill in the answer, even if it's wrong = effort = points. Ganbatte (do your best). That's my mindset now. Speaking of mindset...here's one to add to your list, "Mindset" by Gacharic Spin. Not metal, but no less talentedly mind blowing ladies.
@@kent-oveprestberg3578 it's like every Japanese kids were raised to be a talented musician when they all grow up. my only regret in life is when I don't listen to what my late father told me. he want me to learning music instrument like piano or guitar, when I'm still in elementary school. and one day, my father passed away 2 week after my 25th birthday. that's when I start interested on musical instrument. but I think that's too late at my age to master something.

LOVEBITES - Swan Song lyrics: If this was the last day you could live on this earth Would you still go on, accusing someone for today It’s better to fail than not do anything at all It is not the length, but depth of life that counts Oh brave soldier Oh gallant warrior Valor to those who died in battle to Valhalla Believe what’s in your soul For death will come to all You shall rest peacefully in God’s Heaven Floating lotus You are so graceful Saintly and glorious Till the end of time Floating lotus You are so beautiful Sing me your sweet song The legend of the swan If you’ve never hoped, you’ve never been though despair Ignorance is bliss, it’s easier to not care You might think it’s meaningless to sacrifice a life Sometimes the life of one can save so many more Oh brave soldier Oh gallant warrior Valor to those who died in battle to Valhalla Believe what’s in your soul For death will come to all You shall rest peacefully in God’s Heaven Floating lotus You are so graceful Saintly and glorious Till the end of time Floating lotus You are so beautiful Sing me your sweet song The legend of the swan SOLO: miyako / both Floating lotus You are so graceful Saintly and glorious Till the end of time Floating lotus You are so beautiful Sing me your sweet song The legend of the swan SOLO: midori ----- lyrics: asami music: miyako arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) album: Electric Pentagram 01/29/2020
We call that " Miyako Magic, " not just her playing, but her songwriting & arrangement skills are off the chain !! On November 17th, she is performing a piano recital ( An Evening With Miyako ) which is sold out. I can't express how much I admire this woman & all she does !! 😏❤️🎙🎸🎹🥁😎🤘
ปีที่แล้ว +5
listening to lovebites feels like getting beaten up.. and enjoying it
This is a band that plays all genres of metal. That's excellent! I also recommend Raise Some Hell, live, Stand and Deliver (Shoot 'Em Down!) video (heavy, straight-up hard rock'n'roll vibe), Empty Daydream live (hard pop, catchy medium tempo) And Under the Red Sky, and The Apocalypse live" (a war,atomic bomb theme),Signs of Deliverance(awsome duo guitar solo) etc…endless journey!
The Chopin piece Miyako (guitar/keyboards) is playing in the intro is "Etude OP10, No. 12" known as the "Revolutionary Etude." In 1831, some officers and citizens rose up against the Polish government, which was under the de facto control of the Russian Empire, in what was called the "November Revolution" but ended in failure due to the direct intervention of Russian troops. Chopin received this news during a performance tour. He never set foot on the soil of his homeland again. When the Russians invaded Warsaw, Chopin's agent presented "Etude OP10, No. 12" in Paris. Because of the agent's exaggerated publicity, people called this piece "Revolutionary Etude. Miyako composed "Swan Song" based on this "Revolutionary Etude" and Dvorak's "New World Symphony. Asami (vocalist), a former ballerina, wrote the lyrics based on the historical background of "Revolutionary Etude" and inspired by Norse mythology and the ballet suite "Swan Lake. "SwanSong" is a requiem dedicated to the warriors who fought to reclaim their homeland, a masterpiece that only LOVEBITES could complete.
Ah sir, these ladies not only have great talent they also bring great joy to many people's lives and I truly admire them as a proper heavy metal band. Great review. Regards Wolfpack UK 🐺🤘🤯🔥🎸🥁🎤🎹🎶
There is nobody I have ever known like Miyako, for me personally, the greatest overall musician/artist/composer I have ever heard. She is the evil genius of this band, period. Guitar, piano, composer. That genius shows a lot with her stage presence, as in general she is the most stoic on stage with her concentration and playing for perfection. This particular song is The Miyako Show, period. Lovebites for me is the best collection of talent I have ever heard in one band, and they play with precision at elite/virtuoso levels. Without hesitation, with 50+ years of listening to metal behind me, to me this is the greatest metal band ever. I know greatest may allude to something different than favorite - I use both words interchangeably.
Miyako learned piano from age 3 and self-taught the guitar at 18. Midori, at age 20, entered a music academy for guitar. It's never too late when you have talent that is insane. My friend says this much talent in one band is illegal and a monopoly violation!!! LIVE, they will never disappoint that is a promise from the Wolfpack. Now try Frozen Serenade LIVE of course.
Power, Heavy, Trash, Ballad, Melodic, Classic, etc = LOVEBITES formado por talentosas mujeres hermosas creando grandiosas composiciones en música y letra, las diosas del Metal🤘🏻🐺
Good reaction! I recommend next is Frozen Serenade live. They play speed metal,thrash,power,symphony,80's,motorhead vibe etc…but this is the most beautiful metal ballad! masterpiece!
General suggestions for LOVEBITES... * Holy War * Edge Of The World - A Frozen Serenade * Swan Song (with Chopin intro) - When Destinies Align - Set The World On Fire * Break The Wall - Shadowmaker - Raise Some Hell - Epilogue (another "E" song, next to "Edge Of The World" and "Empty Daydream") - Glory To The World - Rising - Winds Of Transylvania (VLADLOVE version) - Thunder Vengeance - Don't Bite The Dust - Dancing With The Devil - The Awakening / The Hammer Of Wrath - Nameless Warrior [OMV] - Liar - We The United Live album 2CD/DVD/Blu-ray from August 23rd, 2023, of March 11th live concert - The Hammer Of Wrath (live 2023) (first promotional video) - Nameless Warrior (live 2023) (second snippet) - Judgement Day (live 2023) (third snippet) - Liar (live 2023) (forth snippet) New stuff (LOVEBITES 2.0, with new bassist Fami) - Judgement Day [OMV] - Stand And Deliver (Shoot 'Em Down) [OMV] Covers - Eagle Fly Free (Helloween) - Painkiller (Judas Priest) - Love Bites (So Do I) (Halestorm) Miyako piano covers (Etude Op.23) - Eagle Fly Free (Helloween) - Burn (Deep Purple) - Battery (Metallica) - The Loner (Gary Moore) - Far Beyond The Sun (Yngwie Malmsteen) - Addicted (LOVEBITES)
I appreciate your support to amazing Lovebites. Yes, this song is another masterpiece with uplifting lyrics; this is one of the things that sets them apart.
Yes, they are all muti talented. Miyako as you saw is superb on Piano and guitar. She also plays, bass and drums, is an excellent singer, and she's their main composer. Asami Vocal also plays piano some, and is a trained dancer, not exactly what style, I think it's ballet. Haruna Drums also plays piano, Midori, the blonde guitarist, not sure what else she plays, but she is also an award-winning body builder. And Fami their new bassist also plays guitar, piano, composes and is an excellent singer in her own right.
Another great reaction bro. You just earned a sub from a Lovebites fan. These ladies are not only world class talents. They are not afraid to show their faith in their messages. Their lyrics are so positive, uplifting and inspiring. They proved that metal doesn’t have to be in black, leather and chains. They can shred hard and still be feminine. Please continue reacting and supporting Lovebites. You will not find a bad song from them.
You did my request again. Thank you bro. And how you related the lyric to your own TH-cam journey are so down to earth true reaction. Now, it's time to check out some music videos. I suggest "Rising", " Shadowmaker" and "When Destinies Align". Rock on 🤘 and peace ✌️
Thanks for sharing your LOVEBITES "Awakening From Abyss" ... Debut CD 2017, album's title and our resulting experience. Follow-up on CD is "Bravehearted", LOVEBITES only song ever recorded with Japanese lyrics, re-recorded for first full album with English translation.

All four? Each is very different setting & presentation. Haruna's 'message' is worth repeating, imo. 🐺
Hi mate, loving your reactions of this insane band, a year and a half ago I was blown away just as bad as you are now. This women are something else, and when you have listened to a big part of their great catalog, you should watch this entire show just for fun, like a gift to yourself. "Five of a kind" in Tokyo 2020 is an absolute treasure and you have it here in TH-cam. Believe me, you will enjoy every second of it. Greetings from Spain and all the best for you and your channel 🤘🏼
Great reaction! Your excitement makes these fun to watch. Up until Fami joined the band, I never really knew anything about LOVEBITES. It has been a fun ride/discovery though! This song especially hits me in the feels a bit. Especially with the piano outro. Every single time! I look forward to more!
Yes, it's a powerful song. Most Lovebites songs are meaningful, powerful, uplifting, motivating, good advice. Asami (the vocalist) is the main lyricist. She's a smart and wise lady. Miyako (black haired guitarist) named The Golden Touch.. a genius musicianship. There's the best musicians is in this band👍🥰. Thanks bro👍🤘
Yes all multi-talented. Miyako Guitar/Piano/Song Composer/lyricist. Asami. Singer/lyricist/Piano/Dancer. Rest as above all. All write/compose and think 4 out of original 5 played piano not miyakos level but high. But all DO PLAY VARIOUS INSTRUMENTS. OH Miyako also played all the bass parts when recording the album which WAS ready before new member joined. If anyone remembers the videos miyako said it and Fami said it BELIEVE Fami did it on her channel 1st appearence in video showing face no mask saying she got Lovebites Bass. Miyako either said in interview or her own channel as well. Please let me know if see it.
LOVEBITES song Burden Of Time, watch Miyako play one hand on the piano and another hand on the guitar.... Bro, react another BAND-MAID songs BAND-MAID, live at LOLLAPALOOZA 2023 songs Dice, Hate..... ASTERISM(3piece Metal Band) songs Dawn, Rising Moon, Lights In The Darkness, Church, Blaze, Gunfire, watch this 16 yr/o girl that have the fingers of all the world best soloist guitarist will make your jaw drooped, and also the 7string bass solos...... 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 All Japanese musicians they can play all the music instruments..... The BEST Japanese female drummer HARUNA(LOVEBITES), AKANE(BAND-MAID), MURATA TAMU(NEMOPHILA), SAE/CHIKA(HANABIE), HANA/YURI(GACHARIC SPIN), JUNNA/NAGISA(TRIDENT JAPAN) watch JUNNA drum cover Lux Aeterna(Metallica), Pain Killer(Judas Priest)
If you want your mind blown again, react to their video "Burden of Time". She does a solo playing keyboard with one hand and guitar with the other hand at the same time.
We like your stuff, you are genuine, and that's what really counts. Keep it it man, you are doin great. try Frozen Serenade live by the girls another masterpiece with surprises for you. This is the most talented band on the planet in the genre, and change it up a lot too. Like Raise Some Hell, a fun rocker,. to be sure. live of coarse
i love watching reactors come to the realization of just what the caliber of musicians is in Japan and why the frak we never get to hear these amazing groups over here what do we get stale commercialized rap and pop nonsense, country fraking pop and screaming growling wanna be metal groups who hide the fact they cannot play guitar by down tuning it to sub frequency hell ! there is a vey long list of groups From Japan that are just as good as these five musical angels hang in there and keep finding them
I think I watched this out of sync…I’ll find out in a minute, but this was the “oldest” of your three reactions on my timeline. I suspect Edge of the World was before this because of some of the references you made. Miyako-san often does a quick left hand drop during a song and I’d be willing to bet it’s to relax her fingers (especially if you consider what those fingers had done up to that point). Best band you will ever react to.
Great reaction. Subbed 1. Thing when it comes to Japanese METAL BANDS ESPECIALLY LOVEBITES. NEMOPHILA. BABYMETAL. Band Maid. (JAPANESE FEMALE BANDS ARE The Best) LIVE IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO No lipsync. And show their greatness. MAXIMUM THE HORMONE (NAO another female drummer who inspired a lot of others) X-Japan who basically Started J.Metal.
Asami lead singer can play piano, Miho bassist can play bass and piano, Fami new bassist can play bass, guitar and piano, Haruna drums can play drums,bass and piano, midori blond haired guitarist plays guitar and piano and Miyako black haired guitarist can play guitar, bass, drums and piano please let me know what you think
LOVEBITESに名曲は多いが、この曲は「門」の構造に成っている。まずMiyakoの「革命のエチュード」ピアノ独奏があり、全員演奏のバックでピアノが寄り添うように鳴り響き、次にMidoriとデュオを奏で、最後にMiyakoの独奏で締める。クラシックもメタルも両方好きな私には垂涎の作品である。
Glory to the world live
I'm seeing them in Atlanta at progmetal festival 24 in Sept of 24. There first us performance
Another masterpiece. The lady who shuffled from the piano to shred the guitar and then back to the piano is Miyako. She's a concert-level pianist who has been trained on the keyboard since she was 3 years old. Miyako is a generational talent who is also an established music composer and arranger.

She is not a concerto level (because a concerto pianist live and thrives in classical music with contant playing) but is a very elite player.
Miyako "the Golden Touch". Wolfpack united for LOVEBITES! 🤘🏼🐺🤘🏼
And yes, Miyako is a multi-instrumentalists, she plays piano/keyboards/keytar, drums, bass guitar, violin, cello and in her youth brass instruments. All other members can play the piano to, you can see singer Asami play the piano in the songs “Today Is The Day” and “We The United”
Miyako is unreal. The piano outro never fails to move me no matter how often I’ve heard it. Asami is a phenomenal singer and lyricist. This band is the complete package.
This song brings me to tears
Midori’s outro solo is one of her best as well in my opinion.
This song brings me to tears every time I hear it

Nobody better on this planet.. Lovebites on a level all their own..
How many musicians on the planet could do what we just witnessed Miyako do. I suspect it might only be a dozen, and probably less.
Lovebites doesn't have a BAD SONG, Enjoy!!!!!, also all the lyrics are GREAT!!!

I wish he know that I can play guitar and piano.
Behold, the power of Miyako!😊❤
LOVEBITES - Swan Song lyrics:
If this was the last day you could live on this earth
Would you still go on, accusing someone for today
It’s better to fail than not do anything at all
It is not the length, but depth of life that counts
Oh brave soldier
Oh gallant warrior
Valor to those who died in battle to Valhalla
Believe what’s in your soul
For death will come to all
You shall rest peacefully in God’s Heaven
Floating lotus
You are so graceful
Saintly and glorious
Till the end of time
Floating lotus
You are so beautiful
Sing me your sweet song
The legend of the swan
If you’ve never hoped, you’ve never been though despair
Ignorance is bliss, it’s easier to not care
You might think it’s meaningless to sacrifice a life
Sometimes the life of one can save so many more
Oh brave soldier
Oh gallant warrior
Valor to those who died in battle to Valhalla
Believe what’s in your soul
For death will come to all
You shall rest peacefully in God’s Heaven
Floating lotus
You are so graceful
Saintly and glorious
Till the end of time
Floating lotus
You are so beautiful
Sing me your sweet song
The legend of the swan
SOLO: miyako / both
Floating lotus
You are so graceful
Saintly and glorious
Till the end of time
Floating lotus
You are so beautiful
Sing me your sweet song
The legend of the swan

We call that " Miyako Magic, " not just her playing, but her songwriting & arrangement skills are off the chain !! On November 17th, she is performing a piano recital ( An Evening With Miyako ) which is sold out. I can't express how much I admire this woman & all she does !! 😏❤️🎙🎸🎹🥁😎🤘
listening to lovebites feels like getting beaten up.. and enjoying it
Hahaha. Facts! 💯
For your next reactions I suggest the 4 videos from their 2023 concert „Knocking at Heavens Gate“ which you can find on LOVEBITES official channel.
This is a band that plays all genres of metal.
That's excellent!
I also recommend Raise Some Hell, live, Stand and Deliver (Shoot 'Em Down!) video (heavy, straight-up hard rock'n'roll vibe), Empty Daydream live (hard pop, catchy medium tempo)
And Under the Red Sky, and The Apocalypse live" (a war,atomic bomb theme),Signs of Deliverance(awsome duo guitar solo) etc…endless journey!
🤘🐺💙Miyako The Golden Touch!!💙🎹🎸🎹💯🤘
The Chopin piece Miyako (guitar/keyboards) is playing in the intro is "Etude OP10, No. 12" known as the "Revolutionary Etude."
In 1831, some officers and citizens rose up against the Polish government, which was under the de facto control of the Russian Empire, in what was called the "November Revolution" but ended in failure due to the direct intervention of Russian troops. Chopin received this news during a performance tour. He never set foot on the soil of his homeland again. When the Russians invaded Warsaw, Chopin's agent presented "Etude OP10, No. 12" in Paris. Because of the agent's exaggerated publicity, people called this piece "Revolutionary Etude.
Miyako composed "Swan Song" based on this "Revolutionary Etude" and Dvorak's "New World Symphony.
Asami (vocalist), a former ballerina, wrote the lyrics based on the historical background of "Revolutionary Etude" and inspired by Norse mythology and the ballet suite "Swan Lake.
"SwanSong" is a requiem dedicated to the warriors who fought to reclaim their homeland, a masterpiece that only LOVEBITES could complete.
Ah sir, these ladies not only have great talent they also bring great joy to many people's lives and I truly admire them as a proper heavy metal band. Great review.
Regards Wolfpack UK 🐺🤘🤯🔥🎸🥁🎤🎹🎶
I truly appreciate that! Thank you so much for watching! 🤘🫡🔥🐺
There is nobody I have ever known like Miyako, for me personally, the greatest overall musician/artist/composer I have ever heard. She is the evil genius of this band, period. Guitar, piano, composer. That genius shows a lot with her stage presence, as in general she is the most stoic on stage with her concentration and playing for perfection. This particular song is The Miyako Show, period. Lovebites for me is the best collection of talent I have ever heard in one band, and they play with precision at elite/virtuoso levels. Without hesitation, with 50+ years of listening to metal behind me, to me this is the greatest metal band ever. I know greatest may allude to something different than favorite - I use both words interchangeably.
The structure of the song is incredibly beautiful.
You have to see "Burden of Time-Studio Live" Miyako is Playing Keyboard and Guitar at the same Time,its Insane!! 😉
th-cam.com/video/4OBf_Gn8efs/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=s-cream-s&t=194s
Miyako learned piano from age 3 and self-taught the guitar at 18. Midori, at age 20, entered a music academy for guitar. It's never too late when you have talent that is insane. My friend says this much talent in one band is illegal and a monopoly violation!!! LIVE, they will never disappoint that is a promise from the Wolfpack. Now try Frozen Serenade LIVE of course.
If you want to see something really amazing, check out Burden of Time live at the abyss. The talent of Miyako knows no bounds.
Wait till you hear some of their newer stuff. It will blow you away for sure. No shortage of talent for sure!
A song like this makes you want to go out and defend the castle against the goblin horde!
Hahahaha. Facts! 💯
Led by the Sword Lord?
You will love frozen serenade.
I did. I'm processing that video now. Talk about your soul being kicked out of your body! 😄 Amazing song! 🤘🔥
@@TRMReacts62812 A master piece.

Power, Heavy, Trash, Ballad, Melodic, Classic, etc = LOVEBITES formado por talentosas mujeres hermosas creando grandiosas composiciones en música y letra, las diosas del Metal🤘🏻🐺
Good reaction!
I recommend next is Frozen Serenade live.
They play speed metal,thrash,power,symphony,80's,motorhead vibe etc…but this is the most beautiful metal ballad! masterpiece!

I appreciate your support to amazing Lovebites. Yes, this song is another masterpiece with uplifting lyrics; this is one of the things that sets them apart.
I appreciate you watching! 🫡
Yes, they are all muti talented. Miyako as you saw is superb on Piano and guitar. She also plays, bass and drums, is an excellent singer, and she's their main composer. Asami Vocal also plays piano some, and is a trained dancer, not exactly what style, I think it's ballet. Haruna Drums also plays piano, Midori, the blonde guitarist, not sure what else she plays, but she is also an award-winning body builder. And Fami their new bassist also plays guitar, piano, composes and is an excellent singer in her own right.
Another great reaction bro. You just earned a sub from a Lovebites fan. These ladies are not only world class talents. They are not afraid to show their faith in their messages. Their lyrics are so positive, uplifting and inspiring. They proved that metal doesn’t have to be in black, leather and chains. They can shred hard and still be feminine. Please continue reacting and supporting Lovebites. You will not find a bad song from them.
Thank you! I appreciate you and your support! Much more to come! 🤘🔥🎸🫡
You did my request again. Thank you bro. And how you related the lyric to your own TH-cam journey are so down to earth true reaction. Now, it's time to check out some music videos. I suggest "Rising", " Shadowmaker" and "When Destinies Align". Rock on 🤘 and peace ✌️
You got it! These ladies are incredible! I appreciate you and your support! 🤘🫡🔥

Hi mate, loving your reactions of this insane band, a year and a half ago I was blown away just as bad as you are now. This women are something else, and when you have listened to a big part of their great catalog, you should watch this entire show just for fun, like a gift to yourself. "Five of a kind" in Tokyo 2020 is an absolute treasure and you have it here in TH-cam. Believe me, you will enjoy every second of it.
Greetings from Spain and all the best for you and your channel 🤘🏼
I appreciate that. And thank you for watching and the support! 🤘🫡
@@TRMReacts62812 I've watched the whole FOAK (Five Of A Kind) last week. It's so good, but it's also so heavy, that I was exhausted!
Great reaction! Your excitement makes these fun to watch. Up until Fami joined the band, I never really knew anything about LOVEBITES. It has been a fun ride/discovery though! This song especially hits me in the feels a bit. Especially with the piano outro. Every single time! I look forward to more!
Yes, it's a powerful song. Most Lovebites songs are meaningful, powerful, uplifting, motivating, good advice. Asami (the vocalist) is the main lyricist. She's a smart and wise lady. Miyako (black haired guitarist) named The Golden Touch.. a genius musicianship. There's the best musicians is in this band👍🥰. Thanks bro👍🤘
Spelbound please
Bravo for coming back right away to Lovebites. Maybe we'll send an ambulance, just in case.
You were just saying about multi-instrumentalist in the last reaction.. I love them all but Miyako is a gem to the world of music.
yessss. I have my place for HELLFEST in france 28th of June. LOVEBITES will be there
Yes all multi-talented. Miyako Guitar/Piano/Song Composer/lyricist.
Asami. Singer/lyricist/Piano/Dancer.
Rest as above all. All write/compose and think 4 out of original 5 played piano not miyakos level but high. But all DO PLAY VARIOUS INSTRUMENTS.
OH Miyako also played all the bass parts when recording the album which WAS ready before new member joined. If anyone remembers the videos miyako said it and Fami said it BELIEVE Fami did it on her channel 1st appearence in video showing face no mask saying she got Lovebites Bass.
Miyako either said in interview or her own channel as well. Please let me know if see it.
LOVEBITES song Burden Of Time, watch Miyako play one hand on the piano and another hand on the guitar....
Bro, react another BAND-MAID songs
BAND-MAID, live at LOLLAPALOOZA 2023 songs Dice, Hate.....
ASTERISM(3piece Metal Band) songs Dawn, Rising Moon, Lights In The Darkness, Church, Blaze, Gunfire, watch this 16 yr/o girl that have the fingers of all the world best soloist guitarist will make your jaw drooped, and also the 7string bass solos...... 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
All Japanese musicians they can play all the music instruments.....
The BEST Japanese female drummer HARUNA(LOVEBITES), AKANE(BAND-MAID), MURATA TAMU(NEMOPHILA), SAE/CHIKA(HANABIE), HANA/YURI(GACHARIC SPIN), JUNNA/NAGISA(TRIDENT JAPAN) watch JUNNA drum cover Lux Aeterna(Metallica), Pain Killer(Judas Priest)
🐺🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Love Lovebites
Amazing
I truly love Miyako but every time I watch her perfoming she makes me feel like I've been wasting all my life 😅
Hahaha. You and I both! 😄
🤘🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🤘
The end of that piano was related to Poland's failed uprising resulting so many Polish death. Poland went on to gain independance finally.
If you want your mind blown again, react to their video "Burden of Time". She does a solo playing keyboard with one hand and guitar with the other hand at the same time.
You know I hear some refer to them as death metal, I like to think of them as Life metal
Letting one hand go from the guitar neck is to loosen tensions, resting the hand, not to showcase.
We like your stuff, you are genuine, and that's what really counts. Keep it it man, you are doin great. try Frozen Serenade live by the girls another masterpiece with surprises for you. This is the most talented band on the planet in the genre, and change it up a lot too. Like Raise Some Hell, a fun rocker,. to be sure. live of coarse
I appreciate the kind words. Thank you so much for watching and your support! 🫡🤘🔥🎸
i love watching reactors come to the realization of just what the caliber of musicians is in Japan and why the frak we never get to hear these amazing groups over here what do we get stale commercialized rap and pop nonsense, country fraking pop and screaming growling wanna be metal groups who hide the fact they cannot play guitar by down tuning it to sub frequency hell ! there is a vey long list of groups From Japan that are just as good as these five musical angels hang in there and keep finding them
I think I watched this out of sync…I’ll find out in a minute, but this was the “oldest” of your three reactions on my timeline. I suspect Edge of the World was before this because of some of the references you made. Miyako-san often does a quick left hand drop during a song and I’d be willing to bet it’s to relax her fingers (especially if you consider what those fingers had done up to that point). Best band you will ever react to.
I can't blame her taking a quick break. She is always cooking that guitar 🎸 🤘🔥
👍😀
Great reaction. Subbed 1. Thing when it comes to Japanese METAL BANDS ESPECIALLY LOVEBITES. NEMOPHILA. BABYMETAL. Band Maid. (JAPANESE FEMALE BANDS ARE The Best) LIVE IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO No lipsync. And show their greatness. MAXIMUM THE HORMONE (NAO another female drummer who inspired a lot of others) X-Japan who basically Started J.Metal.
Asami lead singer can play piano, Miho bassist can play bass and piano, Fami new bassist can play bass, guitar and piano, Haruna drums can play drums,bass and piano, midori blond haired guitarist plays guitar and piano and Miyako black haired guitarist can play guitar, bass, drums and piano please let me know what you think
Man, I suggest take a Xanax before you will listen "We the united", there will be an almost 2 minutes long twin guitar solo. 😂
Dude,xheck-Burden of time.
Than you will see the real power of Miyako.
