![FIRST TIME Hearing "Swan Song [+Chopin Intro]": LOVEBITES REACTION!!](/img/n.gif)
Now for something heavy like "Awakening/Hammer of wrath" live, "Set the world on fire" live or " Break the walls" live for something old school thrashy!! These girls are awesome and flawless!!
Looking into it.
Fantastic choices..Please don't use Bloodstock footage.
When Miyako goes back to the piano at the end of this piece, Midori is harmonizing to a backing track.
Good eye! (Ear)
Lovebites has an unofficial 6th member, Mao, who is the former keyboardist for the band Light Bringer (no longer a band). He assists in composing and arranging some of their songs. Speaking of Light Bringer, their former singer, Fuki, is the vocalist for the metal band Unlucky Morpheus. They consider themselves to be melodic speed metal. They are currently active and if you want to check them out try their song Dignity of Spirit 🤘😊🤘
Dignity of Spirit is probably my favorite UM song!! The Live version is gorgeous!! 🤘🙂🎸SGBC!
Wow, yeah, Mao is an incredibly talented songwriter!!!
Mao is also part of Fuki's solo band
Cool info! Thanks for that!
Only Unlucky Morpheus can touch LOVEBITES among Japanese bands.
Unfortunately, there are many fans and some reactors who do not realise there is backing at all. Please don't apologise for pointing out the obvious, it has to be done. Well done on appreciating that Asami, sings in a second language. Again to emphasise the ignorance of some reactors, they complain she is not singing in English or moan about her English diction. Thank you for your comments and observations. Lovebites can play various forms of metal and weave in their own style.
Appreciate that. Thank you!
Some people think they sound like Metallica hahaha I know Metallica doesn't sound like them so I don't know how that works out haha I don't think Metallica could play this music that LOVEBITES plays and I know they wouldn't look good in these dresses hahaha hey metal band with no tattoos
Chopin wrote many studies to elevate playing. This one is for the left hand and yes very difficult.
It certainly seems like it.
Beautiful beyond words 🐺
Great reaction and observations. Backing tracks, loops and off stage music happen. Part of this is the creative use of overdubs such as Randy Rhoads did. There are other musicians who may play multiple instruments. They can do this in studio but one can only play one instrument at a time (except Miyako). Steve Harris of Iron Maiden is the bass player as we know. He is also the keyboard player in studio. I believe during concerts Iron Maiden has Michael Kenney play keyboard parts.
There are more ways than one to be fluent in a language when not a native language. One can speak fluently, read fluently. or write fluently. One could do all three for a second language.
I agree that Asami who wrote the lyrics for this song and Miho both write lyrics better than many people who are native English speakers. I think that Asami and Miho can both read and write English fluently. Asami does speak and sing in English with the cutest accent.
There are several things I like about the lyrics of Lovebites. One is they tell a story. Another is they don't have a lot of one or two line repetitive choruses. Many of the choruses are full verses. They also use pre-chorus in some of their songs.
Miyako wrote the music and did the main arrangement. Each member arranged their own part.
When I said no one can play two instruments at the same, I didn't count one man bands who use special rigs. I am really talking about two separate instruments that must be played simultaneously using your hands. Miyako can do this. Check out Burden Of Time th-cam.com/video/4OBf_Gn8efs/w-d-xo.html
For a song that shows off Asami's blues vocals I recommend Dancing With The Devil th-cam.com/video/mJGgLFTPME8/w-d-xo.html Love her riffing at the end.
A song I gained a new appreciation for when I saw their most recent live performance Heavy Metal Will Never Die from Ride for Vengeance Tour is Frozen Serenade. th-cam.com/video/Ae8pQVu-RN8/w-d-xo.html
Oh yeah! I can't believe I didn't pick up on the whole "chorus' being written verse style" thing! Thanks for all the great info and the links! Excellent.
Edge of the World and Frozen Serenade
There's one song, I forget which one, where Miyako is playing the piano with her guitar strapped to her back. I have to assume she might be the only classical piano player in the world you will ever see doing that. She has several pets, two of which are an Owl and a Python. Not what you would generally expect from a demure girl. A world class guitarist I know, met her and said she was kind of quiet and demure, much like she is on stage (in regards to her facial expressions). I don't know if you've noticed Asami's arm movements, and how smoothly all her moves are, in general, but this comes from her ballet training. She really showcases her arm movements in this one, moving much like a swan might move. Another thing I love about Asami, is that in certain songs you will see her center stage during the dueling guitar solos with her arms stretched out kind of pointing to Miyaki and Midori, as if to say "Watch my two bad ass guitarists rip your face off! Japanese females bands in general , more than most I've seen, quite frequently show a lot of mutual admiration and respect for all the other members in the band, and as you've seen, part of this is the quite frequent features and solos of each member in most every song.
Nice reaction. I'm looking forward to the next one.
We are Lovebites! and We play heavy metal!!! 🤘🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🤘
The one band member’s name that will come to prominence is Miyako, the pianist. She started playing piano at age 3 and as it’s her primary instrument, she is a world class concert pianist. She also composes much of Lovebites’ music. She really is a rare musical genius. All of the members are highly skilled professionals. Miho the bassist and Haruna the drummer are the original founding members of Lovebites having come from the band Destrose. Lovebites are phenomenal!
Another informative and entertaining review (loved your self deprecating piano demo!). A sense of humour is sometimes lacking on reaction channels.
I had to smile when you said no-one can play guitar and keyboards at the same time. You walked right into that one, just watch Miyako! (Someone has linked it below). She is truly a musical prodigy, a once in a generation talent.
I just acquired my third Lovebites blu ray from Tokyo (the 2019 Daughters of the Dawn concert), so I guess I'm well and truly hooked. 😅
Aww man... Am I gonna watch that video and have my ego stomped on again?! 😭😂
I'm gonna save it for a reaction.
Thanks for the compliment. All you guys are too nice!
I will suggest two fun songs: "Scream for me" and" Raise some hell", in these two songs you will see they having some fun in the stage and with the crowd.
Thanks Jean!
Great reaction. People like you makes TH-cam a better place, not like some "reaction channels" that think a "good song, bye" is enought
I appreciate that Leonardo. Thank you!
Agree. Liked your reaction, attention to musical phrases and elaboration. Subscribed
That reaction ranks near the top of all the Lovebites reactions I have ever seen. You went into great detail about the music and pointed out things that others missed. Great job. I am glad you are Lovebitten and will do more of them. Time for some heavy thrash from Lovebites - do one of these two songs:
Set the World on Fire: th-cam.com/video/99zsH6iG_6c/w-d-xo.html
Break the Wall: th-cam.com/video/5Pc0XK0lNmU/w-d-xo.html
I am ready! And thank you for such an amazing compliment! Not sure I deserve it, but I'll take it! 🐺🤘
Once you discover Lovebites, your life changes forever. Wolfpack keeps growing. Miyako is known as: "the golden touch". That is certainly true! The drummer Haruna is known as: "little BIG engine". Midori is: "crazy shredder". Asami is: "the one and only voice". Miho, the bass player, is no longer in the band... but she was known as: "natural born headbanger". Keep exploring Lovebites. The more songs and videos you see and hear... the more you will understand the sheer scope and magnitude of talent this band has.
Those Nick names are adorable.
One of the best bands out there today! Haruna, the drummer, Haruna... that little dynamo can out last the Energizer Bunny! She is rock solid and just amazingly talented. Love this song! Thank you for reacting to this video.
Asami spent time going to school in the States. She typically writes their vocals. Check out When Destinies Align and Scream for Me.
The band leader of LOVEBITES left the group on August 17, 2021, and the group went on hiatus, but in March 2023, along with a new bassist, they performed a revived live show.
The opening song is available on their official website.
"LOVEBITES / The Hammer Of Wrath [Official Live Video taken from "Knockin' At Heaven's Gate"]"
Lovebites are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you going to get!
Amazing talent in this band, and not just the instruments but also the song writing. Midori (blonde guitar) is the big Angra fan!
One of their ballads and a bit of a fan favorite, A Frozen Serenade - th-cam.com/video/Ae8pQVu-RN8/w-d-xo.html
One of their heaviest songs, Set the World on Fire - th-cam.com/video/99zsH6iG_6c/w-d-xo.html
Really enjoyed the reaction!! You actually say something meaningful and not just "omg they can shred" like most reactions.🤘🙂🎸thanks!
I'll be doing more! Stay tuned
Lovebites is like a Bubbagump shrimp company
Loved your reaction, it was inciteful, thoughtful & honest.....there are reactors who need to take a class from you !!😎👌
Wow! That's an amazing compliment! Thank you.
There Gorgeous and they're producing the best music in the world
I'm not surprised u got bitten...these beautiful ladies have it all. 🏴🐺🤘
In the background you can hear another Chopin etude on piano by Miyako (black hair) called: Ocean!
Ahh I figured there was something going on there.
Yes, Lovebites can bites you so hard😁 great reaction, and great analysis again. Thank you. Next song from them "Set the world on fire" or "Sign of deliverance"
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
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

lyrics: asami
music: miyako
arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami)
The good thing about Lovebites is they are not just one set style genre as all of the rest of the bands, these amazing ladies are in a league of their own. 4 EP's and three albums 5 live CD/DVD recordings they have 50+ songs ranging from several different genres of rock/metal. If you wish to hear similar songs of this caliber I strongly suggest the "E" songs and Frozen Serenade, all masterpieces.
Edge of the World th-cam.com/video/UZjxMjBop7w/w-d-xo.html
Empty Daydreams th-cam.com/video/lXh_uMM94jU/w-d-xo.html
Epilogue th-cam.com/video/JIAJYBuuKGM/w-d-xo.html
Frozen Serenade th-cam.com/video/Ae8pQVu-RN8/w-d-xo.html
I personally love bands that use the backing track as it enhances the song on a live venue
My vote for Epilogue and I totally agreed with you about back track.
Edge of the World and A Frozen Serenade are my favorite songs of theirs and Miyako's emotional soulful guitar solos on Epilogue are incredible.
One of the breakdown/reviews I have seen. So thanks for that. Try Edge If The World and Raise Some Hell, and Break The Wall , to see their parameters. Best diversifying metal act around IMO. They won best New Metal Act from UK mag. Metal Hammer a few years back after Euro festival appearances.
Thanks Paul!
Holy War is the second track on the same album that this song finishes off :) I love everything that goes into making this band who they are.
Can't wait to hear the whole album in context
It's the little girl playing the drums, you know it, we love you HARUNA!
Lovebites varies on styles, you have just watched two of the most Power Metal songs they have on their catalogue. But they can go harder, to thrashy stuff, like in *Break the Wall* or *Set the World on Fire,* or they can go to a more power ballad R&B inspired music, like in *Edge of the World* or *Epilogue,* among other things they do. Even hard rock *(Don't bite the Dust),* Symphonic Metal *(Under the Red Sky)* or progressive symphonic like in *Dystopia Symphony.* Check some of their other stuff.
I'm keen to hear more!
Frozen Serenade, Edge Of The World, Epilogue are different side of Lovebites songs. I hope you review it one day
Edge of the world seems popular. May have to be next.
Live for vengeance tour they don’t use the backing track best band around coming from someone old
Thank u 🐺🤘🤘 Lovebites No1
No problem.
Behold, the most beautiful metal song ever made, "Swan Song" by LOVEBITES.. ❤️❤️🤘🏼🤘🏼
It's pretty great!
I think that the crown is for "Epilogue", but is just a matter of tastes...
@@Actkqk3 Swan Song, Edge of the World and Epilogue are pretty equal for me. They are masterpiece.
i seen many LB Vids reactions, sadly i dont get them really(edit: the Band), but this Song, like you mention partly, got no overtechnical highlights(set aside the pianoplaying), but on the other Hand, i really get that one because it gives me the Starblazers, Gundam One, Mazinger, Harlock Íntro Song Feeling, for me personally this is priceless and an Treasure.
And something i always does get me upset....would anyone plz give the Drumlady the Cudos she really deserves, sitting there in her Weddingsetup, double Bassing and going nuts with the Precision of an Metronom, yeah, she might have an little bit Bumblebee Charme, but she is so into it, and an Anker of Timing for all of them, HUG HER NOW! Plz:D.
Talking backing Track, you said it, who blames an Band for using that got no real Knowledge of modern Showstaging or is fanboyblinded by any means.
NW Army out.
Thanks Alexander!
Finally subbed to your channel. If you want more thrashy from Lovebites many will suggest the live performance of Set the World on Fire, Raise Some Hell or Thunder Vengeance. You can't go wrong with any of thise songs even though I personally perfer Set the World on Fire 🤘😊🤘
More songs coming. In the mean time I have a Nemophilia song going live later this week. (Not sure if you're a fan) but they're pretty cool too!
Miho Miho Miho!
Please try "Break the Wall" live next...its Thrash metal ecstasy
I'll take a look.
yes. they are that good. starting with "revolutionary etude" and closing with the "ocean etude". thank you for your fine reaction and breakdown.
Thank you! I appreciate you watching!
Yes, these Metal Goddesses are phenomenal, talented, beautiful, musical geniuses, but MIYAKO is special!! Continue your journey, they do thrash, power , speed metal, also beautiful metal ballads with powerful messaging that I think you’ll enjoy, being a professional, you can relate and appreciate them!! There’s no gimmick 🐺🔥
There the real deal!
I’m with you on, when I finally discovered that I loved extreme vocals, I didn’t really dig music like this. But, I’m kind of rounding the corner on Lovebites and this style.
That said, I’ve discovered a band just this week that I think will be on a Jinjer like trajectory soon, if not already.
You won’t be sorry if you react to, both official videos on their channel. They are unsigned and I’ve heard are actively reaching out to reactors.
Bloodywood- Gaddaar
Bloodywood - Machi Bhasad
They’re an band brim India. That’s all you need to know. Keep up the great videos❤️
Yeah these guys have come up. I'll take a look in the coming weeks!
🤘🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🤘
Lovebites brought me to your channel.
Thanks for your interesting reaction again. Now how about ' Break The Wall' for your next reaction.
Glory to Lovebites! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺
MIHO! MIHO! MIHO! 🤘🐺🔥
My pleasure!
Great Reaction Friend , Go for A frozen Serenade live performance , Masterpiece Lovebites song's , greetings from 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
Babymetal "we are here because we are cute"
lovebites "We're not here to be cute, we're here to be heavy"🤘
🤘🐺🤘🎹Miyako🎸❤🔥🤘
If you want to continue your harsh vocal journey, another all female Japanese band with 2 talented guitarist (every member is extremely talented) is Nemophila. Their song Dissension is a great start 🤘😁🤘
Done. Will upload later this week.
I often wonder if bands who have English as their second language write such good or interesting lyrics because they're culturally different to native English speakers and so don't get drawn into using cliches. Whether there's anything to that or not, Lovebites write some tremendously uplifting lyrics at times, and they're always interesting from a lyrical point of view. Another great reaction... I won't drop any recommendations because I think I gave you eight in your last Lovebites video, and I know there are going to be plenty more already here!
I think you may have nailed it. Less cliches. Could also be that in order for foreign bands to become known in the west, they already need to be exceptional. There are less weak links in the upper echelon of a genre.
Thank you for featuring Lovebites, the best new metal band to come along in decades. Some background on "Swan Song" for your viewers: Chopin (pronounced Show-pan) was a Polish-born Romantic-era (1800’s) classical composer and piano virtuoso who lived most of his life in France. He is considered one of the greatest classical composers of all time. Miyako, who composes a lot of Lovebites’ music, is a professional-level concert pianist, and was originally going to make classical music her career. When she was 18, she picked up a guitar, and is now one of the best metal guitarists in the world. She particularly likes the Romantic Era classical composers like Debussy, Dvořák, Chopin and Rachmaninoff. She composed “Swan Song” using elements of the New World Symphony (Dvořák) and Chopin’s Revolutionary Etude (official name Étude Opus 10, No. 12 in C minor). All five members of the band are Jedi-level musicians, but I think Miyako is a once-in-a generation talent, a true savant.
And yes, she actually can play the keys and the guitar at the same time.
Thanks for the info! Like I said, I don't know much about Chopin, just that his music is incredibly technical.
🤘🏻🐺🤘🏻
I think every reactor that actually knows music pointed out the backing track. It's okay. They're still actually playing their instruments. They just have tracks for stuff like the piano while Miyako is on guitar.
Yeah. It's 100% normal. In fact it's basically the standard.
If you want to go on a real journey, you should check out their songs Edge of the World and A Frozen Serenade. Both are among their most diverse progressive songs and are masterpieces.
The Japanese metal world is a deep well unto itself, and would be highly rewarding for someone with your knowledge and perceptiveness. Subscribing in hopes of seeing you dive in.
I have a Nemophilia song I'll upload later in the week. Great song!
Lovebites is an awesome band. So many great songs. You can stay with them for a long time. Miyako is a genius.
If you want growling female vocal in a all female metal/pop/rock band, try Gacharic Spin. Their songs are absolutely mad with constant genre hopping.
Gacharic Spin >>> "I WIsh I" MV >>> th-cam.com/video/-R6Nrr_omjE/w-d-xo.html (intro will throw you off, stay with it - it has Pop/Rock/Jazz/Rave/Funk/Death Metal all wrapped in one)
I'll take a look!
Added to watch later. 🤘
Thank you...awesome reaction 🤘🏽🔥
there seems to be a lot Australian VJs and reviewers/reactors getting into band Maid and Lovebites. Has someone got a channel or platform dedicated to these 2 bands we can communicate and lobby promoters to get these bands out to Oz. Babymetal was out here for 1 festival . but nothing filmed .Shame . Also Lisa X band is a new packet of genius girls to check out too. cheers.
I wish I had that kind of pull.
If you're not familiar with them, you should check out dimlim. Metal band with clean math guitar runs and crazy vocals. Vanitas is a good jump off.
Tho if you're more into the power metal check out unlucky morpheus.
Cool! I am not familiar with either acts. I'll take a look.
@@PrymalChaos righteous. Unlucky morpheus will undoubtedly get more attention (tho niche in their own right) but dimlim is crazy good. Hope you like em
😁
For something very different and unique, I would recommend you check out: WAGAKKI BAND.
They are AMAZING. They are an 8-piece band that mixes traditional Japanese instruments with modern instruments. The singer, Yuko Suzuhana, is a goddess. Prepare to have your mind blown.
Here you go: th-cam.com/video/eCbcrUxNol0/w-d-xo.html
Sounds super interesting? I'll take a look.
@@PrymalChaos The singer also is trained in traditional dance and folk singing which she displays in all their songs. Don't miss this detail out when you check them out.
@@enol8603 wow.. ok! I'll keep an eye out 👍👍
Just wanted to add another band for you since you will get more LB songs from others. Try >>> Unlucky Morpheus, a Japanese co-ed speed power metal with female vocalist.
Unlucky Morpheus "Angreifer" Official LIVE - official channel (they have a real violinist) >>> th-cam.com/video/gGKWgM4IOgc/w-d-xo.html
Here, the lead guitarist is opting to growl for the whole song. They are all mad talented musicians.
Thanks for the tips!
Thank you for the awesome reaction and review of this masterpiece.
My suggestion for you is "Break The Wall" from the same concert at Zepp Divercity Tokyo.
See you next
Thanks Yamada!
Check out epilogue daughters of the Dawn live in Tokyo don't start crying
Kinda takes your breath away, Huh! Could you tell the Miyako started piano at 3 yo? At 17/18 she decided she wanted to play guitar. Got a guitar and "how to play" book (no Lessons) and here she is!! Miyako wrote the music and does her own arrangements. Asami (vocals) wrote the lyrics. Miyako has her own home studio and Midori will come to practice so they stay in sync. Their are songs sent to Finland for final production. Miho (bass, band founder) wanted a European sound.
Yeah I heard they use Nightwish's mixing engineer. Definitely a good choice.
Part of the reason I listen to a lot of female bands is that I can't stand demon growl-style lyrics (aka "extreme lyrics") and a lot of female bands have vocalists who don't do this. I don't feel I'm missing anything.
It's not for everyone and honestly I was in the same boat up till about two months ago, when I decided I should look into it. I have discovered so many bands I was missing out on. For me it was really worth the effort to look past the vocal style. Now I'm actually quite interested in the techniques.
The thing is, I don't like this sound, or anything that smacks of Iron Maiden or Dragonforce or any of that crap. The drummer just plays fast but is boring and the guitarists just stand there looking bored and don't really look engaged enough in the event of it all. Band maid play better and are really having so much fun and express a level of joy in performance that many western bands should learn from. Lovebites just look bored and boring to me, as if the flouncy dresses were actually what is important.
here is a question, why are you here, if you don't like the band, don't watch the video, this is what normal people do, but you band maid, fan boys don't seam to get that, as far as your opinion, nobody here cares, and with that said i will give you my thoughts on your band....the Jrock version of nickelback, if they beatle up there sound, they can do power pop, emphasize the pop part, since that is what they do best, yes it's pop garbage, they suck, band nickelback maid.
Akane and Haruna are very good friends and respect each other, so I think your comment will make Akane very angry. 😂
@@melocitysolo9574this reaction video has nothing to do with band nickelback, but your boy, came in here to start crap, if you think someone won't answer it, you are out of your freaking mind.
The thing is, no one cares about what you like. Why do you Band-Maid fanboys keep polluting the comment sections of other bands? Are you guys this insecure? Even funnier given that they are many, many bands better than Band-Maid out there. Even if you exclude Lovebites.
@@cepho8349 their shit gets old after awhile, personally i don't give a fuck about band maid, i don't watch any videos that have to do with them, if they don't like Lovebites don't watch, simple as that.
LOVEBITES is the evolution of all their musical influences through their remarkable synergy amongst all the members into music that is neither defined nor confined by genre, gender or nationality.
Agreed!
