Thanks for the reaction! LOVEBITES are the GODDESSES of heavy , power , thrash metal ! In 2018 , LOVEBITES won the prestigious Metal Hammer GOLDEN GODS Award for "Best New Band" (London,UK). The winners of the GOLDEN GODS Award in different years and in various categories were such famous bands and musicians,such as : Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Motörhead, Twisted Sister, Ozzy Osbourne, Lemmy Kilmister, Zakk Wylde, Nikki Sixx, Joe Perry, Judas Priest, Anthrax, Slayer, Saxon, Nightwish, Rammstein, Sabaton, Children of Bodom, Arch Enemy (and this is not a complete list). LOVEBITES is a Japanese female power metal band, formed in 2016 by former Japanese heavy metal band DESTROSE members Miho( bass,backing vocals) and Haruna(drums). The band has successfully performed at various major international rock-festivals many times .In the spring of 2018, LOVEBITES performed on the Japanese leg of the Warped Tour. In August 2018, they performed at Wacken Open Air (Germany), becoming the first Japanese female rock band to perform at the festival. Also in August 2018 they performed on the main stage of Bloodstock Open Air (UK). In 2019, LOVEBITES performed at the Download Festival in both Donington (UK) and Madrid (Spain). Their performance in Donington was named by the festival organizers and Metal Hammer magazine as one of the highlights of the festival! In the same year they performed at the Graspop Metal Meeting (Belgium) and the Summer Sonic Festival (Japan). Unfortunately, the Covid pandemic that began in 2020 prevents LOVEBITES from performing at festivals and forced a drastic reduction of concerts. LOVEBITES is a phenomenal band, all the ladies are talented musicians! For 5 years they have recorded about 50 songs and all the songs are very good! 🐺Miho - bass, backing vocals (in August 2021 she left the band). 🐺Haruna - drums. 🐺Midori - guitars, backing vocals. 🐺Miyako (Mi-Ya)- guitars, piano, keyboards, backing vocals. 🐺Asami - lead vocals, piano. 🐺Miho started playing bass in high school. Great bass player! The fact that such a wonderful band appeared is, first of all, the merit of Miho. She came up with the idea of starting a band and what kind of music the band would play, a combination of power metal and "old school" heavy metal. Miho was able to find and unite all these talented ladies in LOVEBITES. 🐺Haruna has played drums since she was thirteen years old, and began writing songs on a keyboard at fourteen. Haruna is the smallest (4 '9 ") , but appearances are deceiving. When Haruna sits down at the drums, this is the "little BIG Engine." She is one of the best drummers in Japan. 🐺Midori (blond hair) has been playing the piano since she was two years old and the electric organ since she was eight. She started studying guitar at the age of 20. Super guitarist, "Crazy Shredder". She surpasses many male guitarists in speed and technique of playing the guitar. Graduated from ESP / MI JAPAN Osaka , GIT-DX department (superfast guitar department). ESP / MI JAPAN Osaka is an international music school , headquartered in Hollywood, California, USA. 🐺Miyako (black hair) has been playing the piano since the age of three, received a classical education (piano) and wanted to pursue a career as a pianist. She has been playing the guitar since the age of 18. Super guitarist! They call her "The Golden Touch" and she is a real musical genius. Miyako is the main composer of the band, she wrote over 50% of the music. * In terms of teamwork , synchronization and harmonization of guitars , Midori and Miyako today are perhaps the best pair of guitarists in the world playing metal. One music critic said that two guitarists of this level (Midori and Miyako) in the same band is a crime!😊 🐺Asami started with R&B and soul music . She studied classical ballet for about 16 years (this is noticeable in her movements on stage, especially the movements of her hands). Started ballet lessons at the age of two. After leaving school, Asami lived for some time in the US, where she came to study jazz and hip hop dance. Plays the piano. Asami wrote most of the lyrics of the band's songs. All songs LOVEBITES are written in English. Unlike other metal bands, LOVEBITES are always on stage in white dresses . White dresses are their style. The Wolf is the mascot of LOVEBITES and is featured on all band's albums except the first EP "The Lovebites". The band's fans call themselves the 🐺Wolfpack🐺
congratulations, you have just discovered the best band on the planet ! 😀 metal + grace + elegance + beauty + sympathy + great musicians + great songs = LOVEBITES !!!
this is the greatest band you've never heard of - all of them in the 30 - 32 year range. no wait. they just got a new bassist and she is 20. the bassist you see here is miho - she left the band in aug. of 2021. welcome aboard the LOVEBITES train. there are many stops along the way and they are all different. you will be getting many recommendations with links to go with them. every song they do is a masterpiece
Lovebites will continue to amaze, If you continue reacting to their music.. They're stellar musicians/artists even beyond the excellence you just witnessed..
Way back in the early 90's I listened to an album called "Rust in Peace" my musical world changed forever. The Metal Gods had bestowed a band upon me which I have followed/loved for decades. End of 2020 I Stumbled upon a song called "Rising" by a band named LOVEBITES...that same feeling of jubilation I felt as a young man listening to Rust in Peace occurred....it appears decades later the metal gods had sent me another gift 🐺
That's how I felt the day I clicked on the music video for "When Destinies Align". I couldn't believe my eyes and ears and knew I had stumbled upon something truly special. Not since Maiden, Metallica and Priest have I been drawn to a band like Lovebites.
Those with good taste knew immediately they heard them that they were special. They became my favourite band in 30 seconds and I am not just saying that. Talent on this level is immediately apparent and musically, my world up to that point (December 2020) was basically empty. Not any more.
Lovebites is a rare gift. Something like this doesn't come around very often. Once in a generation if we are lucky. Reminds me when I found Dream Theater "Images & Words" all those years ago. And also Symphony X "The Damnation Game". Now it's Lovebites. 🐺🤘🏻
Metal was born in the steel manufacturing areas of mid north England. Birmingham is where Sabbath and Priest were born. So l think you find that their influence comes from these bands, and Deep purple, rainbow later Iron Maiden etc. So glad you like them but not sure can claim the US had any huge influence on them.
Thanks for reaction to Lovebites, they coming back from hiatus over a year since their bassist who also founder and leader has left the band on August 17, 2021. Now they have new bassist, Fami. Lovebites also known as Wolfpack, if you do reaction to their song Thunder Vengeance (live 2020) you can see their logo before the song start.
!! Yes finally these talented ladies !! Swan song with (Chopin) piano intro (Wolfmen😉) you’ll surely enjoy. And off course live 🎸🤘🎸M&M = mouthdropping and soothing….
In 2015 after super band Destrose broke up their Bassist Miho along with Destrose co member Haruna the drummer formed Lovebites and recruited Guitarist Midori (Blonde Shredder) and Miyako on Guitar/Piano (The Golden Touch) then they came accross an R&B Singer Asami who impressed Miho after hearing her demo. so Asami learned to sing power metal I think she sounds like a female Bruce Dickinson. They were inspired by the 80-90's British Metal Bands Like Iron Maiden,Judas Priest,Helloween,Slayer and many others. Since 2017 they have 3 albums,4 EP's and 4 Live albums and a compilation of greatest songs. They can sound like Slayer one moment, Iron Maiden the next then throw in Classical Piano and have Classical with metal. In 2018 they won the Metal Hammer Golden God award for best new band in London an award previously won by bands like Anthrax and Avenged Sevenfold. another great piece to listen to is Swan Song with Chopin Intro where Miyako has incorporated Chopin's revolutionary etude as a prequel to Swan Song where she leaves the piano and gets on her Guitar Asami wrote the lyrics with the Chopin revolutionary etude in mind that failed november revolution in Poland and they honor those who died fighting. at the end as Midori is doing her solo Miyako sneakily makes her way back to the Piano and joins in with Midori's solo on Piano Midori soon abruptly stops followed by the band a moment later stopping and Miyako is left playing a piece of Dvorak new world symphony as an outtro. Swan Song with Chopin Piano Intro th-cam.com/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/w-d-xo.html
You’ve struck musical gold. As a Brit (in name only) I must point out that it was the U.K. that exported metal to everyone else, and in the case of Japan, it was Deep Purple that lit their particular flame a decade earlier. But the girls main influences are bands from Europe, namely (but not exclusively) Maiden, Priest, Helloween. Stage left guitarist is a classically trained pianist and uses her background in her writing. Until age 18 she was destined for a future career performing Chopin, Rachmaninov and Beethoven. Then she taught herself the guitar, hence her fluent tapping technique. But her mom was a fan of Purple and Rainbow and she was inculcated with the Lord God Ritchie Blackmore from an early age. This band is the most talented collective of musicians my 63 year stretch has ever seen and heard. Two years ago I had no idea they existed. Now, I have no idea anything else exists! Great reaction. You may now close your mouth…😂
Now that you have entered the world of LOVEBITES you will have a hard time getting out ! Everything you can listen to will, in my opinion, be above what you have just heard. And at 70 I've seen and heard hundreds of bands that I don't want to criticize or denigrate, but this is the best metal band I've ever seen and heard. And by far. These young women have turned my musical universe upside down and that's good. 5 geniuses !
🔥🔥🔥5 ladies in their early 30's . This is one of their mello songs for me : they get a lot harder . They stay like this for nearly 2 hours on stage in dresses and high heels not breaking a sweat and melting your face of - sure the Wolfpack will give you more info on each and probably going to be here soon . " We are Lovebites and We play heavy metal !"🔥🔥🔥🔥
Brilliant songbook, magnificent stage appearance, stupendous musicianship and graceful personalities - never heard and seen a band that complete. These ladies are a gift to the world of Metal.
They are all around age 30 at the time of this video. Lovebites is one of the top metal bands from Japan and IMO better than anything America has put out for years and years. Midori and Miyako are one of the greatest guitar duos I have ever seen, just phenomenal musicians. Please do more of them. Do "Set the World on Fire" live next: th-cam.com/video/99zsH6iG_6c/w-d-xo.html
You have been BITTEN. Welcome to the World of LOVEBITES. You have a treasure chest of songs to pick out off. They have just presented their new bass player. So get ready for some moore outstanding music. Love from Sweden.
thanks for reacting to this phenomenal band. the lovebites rabbithole is deep and rewarding. in their backcatalogue of around fifty songs you won´t find a single bad or mediocre one,
Thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 Lovebites is one of the best bands in our country. We say "Japan is the country obsessed by Rock Music". The history is very long and the obsession started in 1966 when Beatles visited Japan and held 5 concerts at Budokan. Speaking of hard rock / heavy metal music, a number of bands started to come to Japan since as early as 1970s : Led Zeppelin / Grand Funk Railroad (1971), Deep Purple (1972), Queen (1975), Kiss (1977), Cheap Trick / Van Halen / Scorpions (1978), Judas Priest (1978/79) and so on. Now, any type of rock can be enjoyed here, especially by many all-female or women-fronted bands. They are daughters of American / European rock, for sure. (Many are grand-daughters in terms of age.) Uh-oh, we also say "Japan is the country obsessed by Jazz". It had started earlier than rock meaning we imported it earlier from your country 😄 .
Welcome to the Wolfpack ]:) Today you have been Lovebitten next should be a more ballad style song that showcases the singer Asami's R&B Background her voice is amazing on this song, Miyako starts on Piano and then moves to her Guitar for a very moving Gary Moore style solo which leads back to Asami singing one line that leads to the song picking up and changing speed then Midori gets her guitar solo while Haruna pounds the drums as if they stole her boyfriend and she wants him back. Sadly the Bassist and Founder Miho in 2021 left the band she's solid on this song keeping the rhythm her replacement Fami will have big shoes to fill. here's Lovebites Edge of The World th-cam.com/video/UZjxMjBop7w/w-d-xo.html
Welcome too the new wave of bad ass Metal from Japan. Primarily steered by Women btw. Lovebites has been a band since 2016 and all the women in this Video are in their early 30's as of 2022. They have no flaws Musically nor Performance wise. Energy, Class, Beauty and Professor level Applied music theory. What sets them apart is the Contrast of what you see with what you hear. I liken them too a Roller Coaster ride. Thrilling from start too finish. Welcome too the Wolfpack.

Damn, the other comments have already said everything I was going to say. Anyway, I love this band and never get tired of listening to them. I have their entire discography and enjoy every song. Now that added their new bass guitarist, Fami, I'm excited for their future and would love to see them live. If you'd like to see another of their songs similar to this, "Glory to the World," "Shadowmaker," or "Addicted" are all great choices. If you'd like to see something a little different, "Swan Song," "Empty Daydream," and "Edge of the World" are all worth watching.
Musicvideos with this band. When Destinies Align, Glory to the world ( eng subs on those) Winds of Transylvania. The live versions are amazing but the MV taking up the songs a notch. Live.. Take any from the 2020 and 2021 concerts! Swan song with Chopin intro (2020), Frozen Serenade (2021) Set the world on fire (2021) and this song Holy War (2021) Asami, the singer has improved since this video!!
LOVEBITES - Holy War lyrics: Look at those black clouds, it’s going to rain blood People live in fear, covered in mud Singing oh Gloria to change the prophecy We are the metal warriors Fighting the darkness for sisters There is a thousand, a thousand of evils Hush, do not wake up Satan’s devils Singing Hallelujah to save our majesty We are the metal warriors Fighting the darkness for brothers Shining blade and burning heart Into the Gates of Hell we march Immortal soul, let there be light Into the Eye of Heaven Eagles at a holy war Fly higher than the sun We are one for all and all for one forevermore SOLO: midori Kingdom of Heaven, never shall we fall Reincarnation, wait for your call Singing oh, Gloria to change the prophecy We are the metal warriors Fighting the darkness for sisters Morning star and dying moon Into the Gates of Hell we march Mighty soul, let there be hope Into the Eye of Heaven Eagles at a holy war Fly higher than the sun Stand up in the name of the God of heavy metal What do we live for？What do we fight for, tonight？ But the world is beautiful, worth fighting for Only have one thing on our mind Facing the fate, holy war SOLO: miyako / midori / both Singing Hallelujah to save our majesty We are the metal warriors Fighting the darkness for brothers Shining blade and burning heart Into the Gates of Hell we march Immortal soul, let there be light Into the Eye of Heaven Eagles at a holy war Fly higher than the sun We are one for all and all for one forevermore What do we live for？What do we fight for, tonight？ But the world is beautiful, worth fighting for Only have one thing on our mind Facing the fate, holy war ----- lyrics: LOVEBITES music: Mao arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) from Electric Pentagram 2020
Yay! Think I've nagged you a couple times to do Lovebites, awesome reaction! Just scratching the surface with the Goddesses in white!! Best band in metal, for real!! 🦊🐺
Welcome to the best new metal band to come along in decades. In their five years of existence thus far, they have easily put themselves on par with the greatest bands of metal’s golden age. Other reviewers have described them as alien superheroes disguised as young women, angels, princesses of metal, and angry bridesmaids. Some background: They were formed in 2016 from the remnants of a legendary all-girl Japanese metal band called Destrose (yes, all-girl metal has been a thing in Japan since at least 1981). Miho (bass, chief headbanger and soul of the band) had a vision of a new band in the style of the great European bands of the golden age of metal. She recruited her former bandmate Haruna (drums, 4'9" “pocket nuclear reactor”); they needed two world-class guitarists, and so they went and found Midori and Miyako, who were with other bands. The whole group then found Asami, the singer, who was doing soul and blues at the time (she was also trained in ballet). Miyako has composed a little more than half of their music, with Miho composing a lot of their thrashier songs in collaboration with Mao, the lead composer of another band called Lightbringer. Midori has also been getting into the act, and they regularly perform a song written by Haruna as well. Asami writes most of the lyrics. They studied all the great historical metal bands going back to Purple and Sabbath, through Maiden, Priest, Metallica, Helloween, Slayer etc. They toured with Dragonforce in 2019, and word from those in attendance is that next time around, it will be the ladies headlining. They have incorporated some of the best of each of those bands into their arsenal, and have created a sound that is fresh and cutting edge while paying tribute to the old masters. This is one of their usual first songs for reactors, and rightly so--you get a good sense of the band. They do everything from soulful power ballads to heavy thrash. Almost every song includes face-melting solos by Miyako and Midori. The two guitarists are quite different in style and tone. Midori (blonde ponytail) is the extrovert and speed demon; Miyako is the introvert, with the more soulful feel (though she can also shred like crazy). Midori uses a cleaner tone, Miyako uses more distortion, pinch harmonics and pedal effects. The contrast makes their duets rich and dynamic. It doesn’t hurt that either one can smoke most of the shredders in the classic metal bands. As another reviewer said, "It seems criminal these two are allowed to be in the same band." Here are more clips you should check out: “Set the World on Fire” th-cam.com/video/99zsH6iG_6c/w-d-xo.html and “Don’t Bite the Dust” th-cam.com/video/oHnKGEj1CMc/w-d-xo.html, from their recently released concert DVD “Heavy Metal Never Dies”. "Edge of the World" and "We the United", back to back: th-cam.com/video/sl0-U-ykJCU/w-d-xo.html They form an incredible journey from darkness and despair to light and hope. Also, “Empty Daydream”, which starts as a ballad and becomes a real rocker: th-cam.com/video/lXh_uMM94jU/w-d-xo.html Miyako is also a virtuoso concert pianist, and was headed for a career in classical music, before picking up the guitar. If you want to see what she can do on the piano, watch “Swan Song” WITH the prelude, which is Chopin’s “Revolutionary Etude” (official name Étude Opus 10, No. 12 in C minor). Miyako wrote “Swan Song” using elements from several classical pieces including the Etude. This link should work: th-cam.com/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/w-d-xo.html. For a thrasher with heavy Slayer and Metallica vibes, “Break the Wall” th-cam.com/video/G021aP2ao6Y/w-d-xo.html includes two gorgeous and completely contrasting solos by M&M. For a heart-stopping ballad, “Epilogue” th-cam.com/video/1ynnXDfEnnY/w-d-xo.html (this includes a second song, your choice whether or not to react to both) Finally, while you will sometimes hear you should only react to live clips, actually their MV’s are epic and worth seeing. Here are four of the most spectacular: "Shadowmaker" th-cam.com/video/Brmoln5Gxus/w-d-xo.html This is the song that blew up and melted faces all over the world "When Destinies Align" th-cam.com/video/hLFelI93VkM/w-d-xo.html "Glory to the World" th-cam.com/video/-wJtD2XEXH4/w-d-xo.html "Winds of Transylvania" th-cam.com/video/HsE4Ub_Pjh8/w-d-xo.html. You'll get lots of suggestions, just one thing: don't bother with Bloodstock footage, the sound quality is poor. Best to take suggestions with actual links. Also, you can’t go wrong with any of their official clips. Welcome to the Wolf-Pack!
These ladies are truly one of the best if not the best metal band out there today. They never disappoint. I stumbled upon them 2 years ago and can't get enough of them, and to answer your question regarding age they are all in their early 30's except their new bassist (Fami) who is 20. The band are... Asami vocals... Haruna drums... Miho bassist in this video... Midori left guitarist and Miyako right guitarist. The band was formed by Haruna and Miho.
Whoa! Great reaction but one thing I have to pull you up on. What do these bands all have in common.... Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest? One they are all the pioneers of heavy metal, two they are all British! The US didn't export heavy metal to Japan... the UK did that. One of Lovebites's greatest influences is Iron Maiden, arguably the most famous metal band on the planet. Iron Maiden are English not American. Japan has had a metal movement ever since Deep Purple played there in 1972 so for an American to claim the cultural heritage of Japan's heavy metal scene is risible.

Yeah I was going to say it was the UK who exported their heavy metal to the rest of the world not the USA. Was Iron Maiden the first metal band to tour Japan?
@@marks5451 It all started with Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Uriah Heep. Concerts at the "Nippon Budokan" (Tokyo, capacity over 14,000): Led Zeppelin (1971,1972) , Deep Purple (1972) , Uriah Heep (1973), Rainbow (1976), Aerosmith (1977) , Kiss (1977 ), Michael Schenker Group (1981.1982) , Judas Priest (1986), Iron Maiden (1987), Skid Row (1992), Yngwie Malmsteen (1994), Ozzy Osbourne (2002), Dream Theater (2004)
@@marks5451 I like these bands too. 👍I have a DVD of Uriah Heep's concert (Budokan, March 1973). There is also a UH album with personal autographs by Lee Kerslake and Mick Box
Not to rain on your parade, but metal was originally British: Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden... Actually, Lovebites admire Britain for being the motherland of metal, as reflected in their song Golden Destination, honoring a tour in the UK. In this video, they are all in their late twenties or early thirties. They have another bass player now who is in fact 20, but they still don't look significantly older than her. Asian women do age more slowly, it seems. No, they're not sisters, although Stage Right (Midori) and Stage Left (Miyako) occasionally do refer to each other as "my shred sister". However, they are both from Osaka (Japan's most relaxed big city), or at least went to college there.
@@wildething7923 Right? If it had been one of their thrash songs, I wouldn't have said anything, since thrash is American in origin. But not metal per se.
I'm glad you liked this phenomenal band. Just one thing I have to say, it was certainly not America who exported Metal to the world, but first and foremost the UK and then other european countries like Germany, Sweden or Finland 🤘🏻
For some reason, Americans believe that all the best appeared in America. 😊You are a nice, interesting couple of reactors but, I'm sorry, heavy music originated in ....... the UK. 🤗Hard-rock first appeared (in the late 60s - early 70s), and then metal (in the late 70s and early 80s.) : Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Uriah Heep,Nazareth, Judas Priest, Saxon ,Iron Maiden, Motörhead, Def Leppard and etc. are all British bands. As for Japan, already in the 70-80s there were a lot of metal bands in Japan. In a sense, Japan is a "closed country" for Europeans and Americans (in terms of music). Most Europeans and Americans do not even suspect that if you take the average Japanese musician, then his technique and mastery of musical instruments is higher than that of the average European or American musician. What is considered unique in Europe or America is the norm in Japan. Music training for Japanese children often begins in kindergarten, and at school, children are already required to learn to play musical instruments. This is included in the school curriculum. The innate industriousness of the Japanese, the system of upbringing and education, as well as the early development of musical instruments by children (often from 2-3 years old), etc. allows you to reveal the talents of children so that they become highly professional musicians. It is very interesting and pleasant to watch your reaction.👏👍 I probably sat with the same face as you when I first saw Japanese metal.🤭
Hi, you have finally discovered these girls from LOVEBITES. Sue, I assure you, your jaw will drop more than once. And I'm not going to recommend any song to you, because all the songs they have are very good. Choose a leg the next reaction, whatever it is you will love it
The premeire this morning of Lovebites Judgement Day was amazing all 5 girls were in the pre video chat it was great I tagged all 5 and asked them to Please tour the USA ]:)
please react more from lovebites, once you get into this band became an obsession " LOVEBITES - Swan Song [+Chopin Intro] (Five of a Kind, 21/02/2020) ", next !
Not to contradict on the export of metal from the US most of Lovebites influences come from the UK and is akin to the 80s NWoBHM not AOR ( American orientated rock), bands like Iron Maiden, Dragon force, Judas Priest and the German band Helloween. However, Lovebites are the epitome of everything that has come out of the UK during that decade!
"What just happened?" That is an expected response when first discovering Japanese Female Metal bands. Girls not related but are The Daughters of the Dawn. They are late twenties to early thirties. Recently girl stage right gave birth and lead singer got married and also became a Mom. our right (sir name first) Our Left: Tatematsu Midori - Guitar (lead, rhythm, acoustic), backing vocals Miho - Bass, backing vocals (founder replaced when left band by Fami) Asami - Singer Haruna - Drummer (all 4'9" of her) Our right: Watanabe Miyako - Guitar (lead rhythm, acoustic), Keyboards, Keytar, Piano, backing vocals They write most of their music and lyrics.

Other people's recommended songs may differ from each other. However, the common point that everyone says is the fact that "everything is a masterpiece and there is not a single bad work!" Also, it doesn't matter if metal originated in America or England. i don't care. Because the bands they like are Metallica, Halloween, Underground, Maiden, Priest, Dragon Force, etc. They are not all from the same country. Many Japanese people think that metal originated in Finland. Japan is a country that "takes in various foreign cultures, mixes them, develops them independently, and remakes them into things that have never been seen before." 他の人たちが言っているお勧め曲は、皆それぞれ違うかもしれません。 しかし、皆が言っている共通点は「全てが傑作で、駄作は1つもない！」と言う事実です。 また、メタル発祥はアメリカでも英国でも、どこでも良いです。私は問題にしていません。 なぜなら、彼女たちが好きなバンドはメタリカ、ハロウィン、アングラ、メイデン、プリースト、ドラゴンフォース等々、全て同じ国とは限りません。 日本人から見れば、メタルはフィンランドが発祥だと思う人も多いです。 日本と言う国は「色々な外国の文化を取り入れ、混ざり合い、独自に発展させ、今まで見た事の無い物に作り替えるという事」が、他国から見れば面白いのだと思います。
They named the band after the Grammy winning Halestorm song Love Bites (So Do I). Lead singer, Asami, has been on stage with Lzzy and the bots performing that song. The piano on stage isn't just for decoration. Check out Swan Song with Chopin piano intro.🤘🤘 Formed in 2016 by former bassist Miho, and drummer Haruna. Midori and Miyako on guitar. New bassist( just recently announced) is Fami.
Awesome reaction guys as always. So glad you have finaly reacted to lovebites. Absolutley fantastic musicians. I think you should give the swansong with chopin intro a listen to. I know wolfman loves a bit of piano. Hope your both well x

This band has no peer.🤘🏾🤘🏾They aren't related. In their 30's except their new bass player is 20 years old. They've been around since 2016. Look at the years you missed. LOL They just get better if that were possible.
Im hearing now metal for around 45 years, but these girls are one the most talented bands i have ever seen. Together with Nightwish they are my favorite band now. I hope the will come to europe, i want to see them live!
I absolutely love the drummer for some reason she reminds me of the girl with the black hair in 'Breakfast Club'. Shy, silent, in the back of the class. And then she starts to drum...

It's just talent, musicianship and professionalism. The bassist, Miho, band founder, wrote this song with their producer Moa. Unfortunately Miho has left the band. The new bassist is Fami, hugely talented. These ladies are in their early 30's!! They all write songs with Miyako, black hair guitarist, has written about half of their songs with Asami, vocals, writing the lyrics. Midori, blond ponytail, left pharmacy school and began playing the guitar at 20yo. Haruna, drums, is a superb drummer one of the best in Japan and likely the world. They wear white because they petite ladies. Because metal stages are usually dark they choose White as it would reflect the lights making them stand out in the dark. Next - "Swan Song, with Chopin Etude" you'll love the piano.
Mao (keyboards) - musician from the heavy-metal band LIGHT BRINGER . He is not a producer of LOVEBITES. He assists in writing and arranging some of the LOVEBITES songs. The band is produced by Steve Jacobs.
Thanks for reacting to amazing Lovebites and spreading the word; they deserve more recognition. These women are extremely talented, skillful and versatile exceptional musicians. They really shine in their live performances and yes, their performances are just jaw-dropping. Their main influences are Iron Maiden, Metallica, Slayer, Helloween, Angra, Judas Priest, Dragonforce, and even Gary Moore, but they have been developing their unique style. Some people say that they’re redefining metal. Miyako is also a concert-level classical pianist. Asami used to sing R&B, soul and jazz before she joined Lovebites. Those twin lead guitar solos by Midori and Miyako are already legendary, in just six years. Unfortunately Miho (bass) left the band last year, but a few days ago the band announced the new bass player, Fami; so they’re ready to set the world on fire. In an interview, Miho (ex bassist) said that they wanted to play as heavy as men but keeping their femininity. My next suggestions are “Thunder vengeance”, “Break the wall”, “Set the world on fire”, “The Awakening/Hammer of wrath”, “Raise some hell”, “Scream for me”, “When destinies align”, “The crusade”, “Dancing with the devil”, “Above the Black Sea”, “Under the red sky”, “Addicted”, “Don’t bite the dust”, “Winds of Transylvania”; and for a different side of them: “Chopin Etude + Swan song”, “Empty daydream”, “Edge of the world”, “Epilogue”, “Glory to the world”, “Frozen serenade”, “Spellbound”, “Today is the day”, “Liar” (all live, but “When destinies align”, “Winds of Transylvania” and Glory to the world” have excellent MV). Lineup: Haruna - Drums Miho - Ex Bass, backing vocals Midori - Lead & rhythm guitar, backing vocals Miyako - Lead & rhythm guitar, keyboards, classical piano, backing vocals Asami - Lead vocals, some piano By the way, their fans are called “the wolfpack”.
I think I suggested Lovebites some time back amidst our conversations on Nightwish videos - I think the ladies are mostly in their early 30's except the new bass player who I believe is 20. You can hear how heavily influenced they are by English bands (Wolfman 😆 🤣) such as Iron Maiden and Judas Priest - sorry, I had to get that in there being a Brit!! I would almost beg you both to do 'Swan Song' with the Chopin piano intro - but there is a link that doesn't include the piano intro - it really is a must - I think your jaw will hit the floor Su Su!! 😆 As always take good care of yourselves 😃...David.
Thanks David!! We love new music and suggestions I’d love to hear the Chopin intro to Swan Song there’s got to be somewhere I can hear it We do love Lovebites so keep the suggestions coming brother
@@honorarythamesman5732 I am glad to help. 😊 I only wrote the title of the video posted on YT because when I leave a link, YT blocks this comment. Jonathan Parker , Hiawatha G. , gatograto provided the Video Link in their comments. You can use their links to "Etude Chopin" & "Swan Song".
@@GrayFox14 thanks for letting me know - I didn't realise comments were blocked if you included a TH-cam link. I sent a couple of links to Su and the Wolfman last week for Beyond the Black - possibly they didn't receive them then?!
Perfect reaction. Why? Just like you said - the shocking open mouth stare. We've all been there. I haven't even looked at the other 99 comments, but I'm guessing you have a ton of requests already. I've been a metal listener since 1971 (Zeppelin), and now Lovebites is my all time favorite band, and stage right guitar player in the black hair, Miyako, is my favorite musician and composer (she composes a lot of Lovebites songs). I'll give you a few requests - My favorite song(s) from this concert, The Awakening/The Hammer of Wrath: th-cam.com/video/otJZPUCwyOM/w-d-xo.html From this same amazing concert, their most Slayeresque song, Break the Wall: th-cam.com/video/5Pc0XK0lNmU/w-d-xo.html And again from this concert, Swan Song with Chopin intro. You will see the Miyako show (piano is her first instrument): th-cam.com/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/w-d-xo.html Winds of Transylvania music video (VLADLOVE version). It's the opening song of 6 of 12 episodes of an anime series. It's controlled chaos at its finest: th-cam.com/video/HsE4Ub_Pjh8/w-d-xo.html
They're not sisters and sadly, Miho, the bassist and founder has left the band. They're amazing. This song is good, but there are several more that I love a lot more than this one. When Destinies Align, Set The World on Fire and Glory to the World.
The British exported metal, to all the rest of us. New Wave of British Heavy Metal. Best regards from the Kingdom of Denmark, which "transferred" good genes to the British in the Viking Age.🤘
Guys, if you liked this you have to check on the best band from Japan, Nemophila. They are all female Metal Core band, they are the Fluffy Hell. You can begin with Disscension, Revive or Oiran.
well NO, LoveBites is a S tier Heavy Metal band, Nemophila is a C tier metal core band, and there not in the same genre anyway, notice the 2nd word, it's the origin of the music, heavy metal is metal, and metal core is core, that is hard core is punk rock... so maybe you should find other bands to compare nemo to, out side of heavy metal.
Great reaction. We Wolfpack usually suggest tons of their songs for your farther reaction but surprisingly none so far!! I recommend you to try their incredible performance Swan Song with Revolutionary Etude th-cam.com/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/w-d-xo.html, or a most beautiful progressive metal with surprises A Frozen Serenade th-cam.com/video/Ae8pQVu-RN8/w-d-xo.html. BTW, every one of them composes and they compose and arrange all their songs except for three cover songs.
Don't know who you have seen but if you like this Japanese band (Put Swansong live with Chopin into on your list) check out these Band Maid - Non Fiction Days (Hard Rock) Aldious - We Are (this band has no bad songs in their discography plus plays lots of styles all filled with great hooks) - I would also recommended their songs - Dominator live, Go Away, Piece of my Wish, Fragile, Sweet Temptation, Step, Die For You, Other World. - Note they have had 4 outstanding singers (Rami, Re:No, Rin and Maki Oyama) and 2 drummers (current Drummer, Marina Bozzio, is the daughter of legendary prog rocker, Terry Bozzio who was the drummer for Frank Zappa) Versailles - Aristocrats Symphony live Holy Grail Unlucky Morpheus - Cadaver / Revedac Bridear -Brave New World Revisited Lovendor - Coward Iron Bunny - 23 Twenty Three Wagakki Band - Homura live
None related. Miho the Bassist and Haruna the Drummer were previously in a Band called Destrose whose former members went on to form Mary's Blood, Nemophilia, Fare Gear, Disqualia and Lovebites. Asami the singer came to the US for 2 years trying to start an R & B singing career without success (she studied classical ballet since the age of 2) and never heard of heavy metal till she auditioned for this band and sang Halestorm's song Lovebites, they like the song and performance so much they named the band after it. - Note her Blus singing comes out in Epilogue and Edge of the World. Midori the blonde guitarist is a fitness model who placed 6th in a recent competition. Miyako is a concert pianist who picked up guitar in college. - If you do Swansong with Chopin intro you'll see her skills on the piano.
First contact reactions are my favorite. Welcome to the WOLFPACK. LOVEBITES taking metal to an entirely new level. 🤘🐺🤘
Thanks for the reaction! LOVEBITES are the GODDESSES of heavy , power , thrash metal ! In 2018 , LOVEBITES won the prestigious Metal Hammer GOLDEN GODS Award for "Best New Band" (London,UK). The winners of the GOLDEN GODS Award in different years and in various categories were such famous bands and musicians,such as : Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Motörhead, Twisted Sister, Ozzy Osbourne, Lemmy Kilmister, Zakk Wylde, Nikki Sixx, Joe Perry, Judas Priest, Anthrax, Slayer, Saxon, Nightwish, Rammstein, Sabaton, Children of Bodom, Arch Enemy (and this is not a complete list).
LOVEBITES is a Japanese female power metal band, formed in 2016 by former Japanese heavy metal band DESTROSE members Miho( bass,backing vocals) and Haruna(drums). The band has successfully performed at various major international rock-festivals many times .In the spring of 2018, LOVEBITES performed on the Japanese leg of the Warped Tour. In August 2018, they performed at Wacken Open Air (Germany), becoming the first Japanese female rock band to perform at the festival. Also in August 2018 they performed on the main stage of Bloodstock Open Air (UK). In 2019, LOVEBITES performed at the Download Festival in both Donington (UK) and Madrid (Spain). Their performance in Donington was named by the festival organizers and Metal Hammer magazine as one of the highlights of the festival! In the same year they performed at the Graspop Metal Meeting (Belgium) and the Summer Sonic Festival (Japan). Unfortunately, the Covid pandemic that began in 2020 prevents LOVEBITES from performing at festivals and forced a drastic reduction of concerts.
LOVEBITES is a phenomenal band, all the ladies are talented musicians! For 5 years they have recorded about 50 songs and all the songs are very good!
🐺Miho - bass, backing vocals (in August 2021 she left the band).
🐺Haruna - drums.
🐺Midori - guitars, backing vocals.
🐺Miyako (Mi-Ya)- guitars, piano, keyboards, backing vocals.
🐺Asami - lead vocals, piano.
🐺Miho started playing bass in high school. Great bass player! The fact that such a wonderful band appeared is, first of all, the merit of Miho. She came up with the idea of starting a band and what kind of music the band would play, a combination of power metal and "old school" heavy metal. Miho was able to find and unite all these talented ladies in LOVEBITES.
🐺Haruna has played drums since she was thirteen years old, and began writing songs on a keyboard at fourteen.
Haruna is the smallest (4 '9 ") , but appearances are deceiving. When Haruna sits down at the drums, this is the "little BIG Engine." She is one of the best drummers in Japan.
🐺Midori (blond hair) has been playing the piano since she was two years old and the electric organ since she was eight. She started studying guitar at the age of 20. Super guitarist, "Crazy Shredder". She surpasses many male guitarists in speed and technique of playing the guitar.
Graduated from ESP / MI JAPAN Osaka , GIT-DX department (superfast guitar department). ESP / MI JAPAN Osaka is an international music school , headquartered in Hollywood, California, USA.
🐺Miyako (black hair) has been playing the piano since the age of three, received a classical education (piano) and wanted to pursue a career as a pianist. She has been playing the guitar since the age of 18. Super guitarist! They call her "The Golden Touch" and she is a real musical genius. Miyako is the main composer of the band, she wrote over 50% of the music.
* In terms of teamwork , synchronization and harmonization of guitars , Midori and Miyako today are perhaps the best pair of guitarists in the world playing metal. One music critic said that two guitarists of this level (Midori and Miyako) in the same band is a crime!😊
🐺Asami started with R&B and soul music . She studied classical ballet for about 16 years (this is noticeable in her movements on stage, especially the movements of her hands). Started ballet lessons at the age of two. After leaving school, Asami lived for some time in the US, where she came to study jazz and hip hop dance. Plays the piano. Asami wrote most of the lyrics of the band's songs.
All songs LOVEBITES are written in English. Unlike other metal bands, LOVEBITES are always on stage in white dresses . White dresses are their style. The Wolf is the mascot of LOVEBITES and is featured on all band's albums except the first EP "The Lovebites". The band's fans call themselves the 🐺Wolfpack🐺
Thanks for your in-depth post on an amazing band.
@@HeavyMetalBluegrass I was happy to share the information.
LOVEBITES - Set the World on Fire. 🤘🤘🤘🐺
congratulations, you have just discovered the best band on the planet ! 😀
metal + grace + elegance + beauty + sympathy + great musicians + great songs = LOVEBITES !!!
this is the greatest band you've never heard of - all of them in the 30 - 32 year range. no wait. they just got a new bassist and she is 20. the bassist you see here is miho - she left the band in aug. of 2021. welcome aboard the LOVEBITES train. there are many stops along the way and they are all different. you will be getting many recommendations with links to go with them. every song they do is a masterpiece
Lovebites will continue to amaze, If you continue reacting to their music.. They're stellar musicians/artists even beyond the excellence you just witnessed..
Way back in the early 90's I listened to an album called "Rust in Peace" my musical world changed forever. The Metal Gods had bestowed a band upon me which I have followed/loved for decades. End of 2020 I Stumbled upon a song called "Rising" by a band named LOVEBITES...that same feeling of jubilation I felt as a young man listening to Rust in Peace occurred....it appears decades later the metal gods had sent me another gift 🐺
That's how I felt the day I clicked on the music video for "When Destinies Align". I couldn't believe my eyes and ears and knew I had stumbled upon something truly special. Not since Maiden, Metallica and Priest have I been drawn to a band like Lovebites.
@@ChadTheDragonLord The nourishment music brings to one's life truly is amazing. 👍🤘🐺
Those with good taste knew immediately they heard them that they were special. They became my favourite band in 30 seconds and I am not just saying that. Talent on this level is immediately apparent and musically, my world up to that point (December 2020) was basically empty. Not any more.
@@alekhidell👍🐺🤘...Unlimited talent, indeed.
Lovebites is a rare gift. Something like this doesn't come around very often. Once in a generation if we are lucky. Reminds me when I found Dream Theater "Images & Words" all those years ago. And also Symphony X "The Damnation Game". Now it's Lovebites. 🐺🤘🏻
Metal was born in the steel manufacturing areas of mid north England. Birmingham is where Sabbath and Priest were born. So l think you find that their influence comes from these bands, and Deep purple, rainbow later Iron Maiden etc. So glad you like them but not sure can claim the US had any huge influence on them.
Thanks for reaction to Lovebites, they coming back from hiatus over a year since their bassist who also founder and leader has left the band on August 17, 2021. Now they have new bassist, Fami. Lovebites also known as Wolfpack, if you do reaction to their song Thunder Vengeance (live 2020) you can see their logo before the song start.
!! Yes finally these talented ladies !! Swan song with (Chopin) piano intro (Wolfmen😉) you’ll surely enjoy. And off course live 🎸🤘🎸M&M = mouthdropping and soothing….
In 2015 after super band Destrose broke up their Bassist Miho along with Destrose co member Haruna the drummer formed Lovebites and recruited Guitarist Midori (Blonde Shredder) and Miyako on Guitar/Piano (The Golden Touch) then they came accross an R&B Singer Asami who impressed Miho after hearing her demo. so Asami learned to sing power metal I think she sounds like a female Bruce Dickinson. They were inspired by the 80-90's British Metal Bands Like Iron Maiden,Judas Priest,Helloween,Slayer and many others. Since 2017 they have 3 albums,4 EP's and 4 Live albums and a compilation of greatest songs. They can sound like Slayer one moment, Iron Maiden the next then throw in Classical Piano and have Classical with metal. In 2018 they won the Metal Hammer Golden God award for best new band in London an award previously won by bands like Anthrax and Avenged Sevenfold. another great piece to listen to is Swan Song with Chopin Intro where Miyako has incorporated Chopin's revolutionary etude as a prequel to Swan Song where she leaves the piano and gets on her Guitar Asami wrote the lyrics with the Chopin revolutionary etude in mind that failed november revolution in Poland and they honor those who died fighting. at the end as Midori is doing her solo Miyako sneakily makes her way back to the Piano and joins in with Midori's solo on Piano Midori soon abruptly stops followed by the band a moment later stopping and Miyako is left playing a piece of Dvorak new world symphony as an outtro. Swan Song with Chopin Piano Intro th-cam.com/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/w-d-xo.html
You’ve struck musical gold. As a Brit (in name only) I must point out that it was the U.K. that exported metal to everyone else, and in the case of Japan, it was Deep Purple that lit their particular flame a decade earlier. But the girls main influences are bands from Europe, namely (but not exclusively) Maiden, Priest, Helloween. Stage left guitarist is a classically trained pianist and uses her background in her writing. Until age 18 she was destined for a future career performing Chopin, Rachmaninov and Beethoven. Then she taught herself the guitar, hence her fluent tapping technique. But her mom was a fan of Purple and Rainbow and she was inculcated with the Lord God Ritchie Blackmore from an early age. This band is the most talented collective of musicians my 63 year stretch has ever seen and heard. Two years ago I had no idea they existed. Now, I have no idea anything else exists! Great reaction. You may now close your mouth…😂
Some fans would say the first "metal album" was the first Black Sabbath album, which was released in 1970.
@@TheCyberMantis Metal was around before the 70's....
@@lard1892 That depends on what you think metal is. Some people think Beethoven was metal.
Now that you have entered the world of LOVEBITES you will have a hard time getting out ! Everything you can listen to will, in my opinion, be above what you have just heard. And at 70 I've seen and heard hundreds of bands that I don't want to criticize or denigrate, but this is the best metal band I've ever seen and heard. And by far. These young women have turned my musical universe upside down and that's good. 5 geniuses !
🔥🔥🔥5 ladies in their early 30's . This is one of their mello songs for me : they get a lot harder . They stay like this for nearly 2 hours on stage in dresses and high heels not breaking a sweat and melting your face of - sure the Wolfpack will give you more info on each and probably going to be here soon . " We are Lovebites and We play heavy metal !"🔥🔥🔥🔥
Don't forget the fifth element just turn into 20 this year... the youngest sister in FAMIly.. 🤘🤘🐺🐺🤘🤘

They are all around age 30 at the time of this video. Lovebites is one of the top metal bands from Japan and IMO better than anything America has put out for years and years. Midori and Miyako are one of the greatest guitar duos I have ever seen, just phenomenal musicians. Please do more of them. Do "Set the World on Fire" live next: th-cam.com/video/99zsH6iG_6c/w-d-xo.html
You have been BITTEN. Welcome to the World of LOVEBITES. You have a treasure chest of songs to pick out off. They have just presented their new bass player. So get ready for some moore outstanding music. Love from Sweden.
thanks for reacting to this phenomenal band. the lovebites rabbithole is deep and rewarding. in their backcatalogue of around fifty songs you won´t find a single bad or mediocre one,
Thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 Lovebites is one of the best bands in our country. We say "Japan is the country obsessed by Rock Music". The history is very long and the obsession started in 1966 when Beatles visited Japan and held 5 concerts at Budokan. Speaking of hard rock / heavy metal music, a number of bands started to come to Japan since as early as 1970s : Led Zeppelin / Grand Funk Railroad (1971), Deep Purple (1972), Queen (1975), Kiss (1977), Cheap Trick / Van Halen / Scorpions (1978), Judas Priest (1978/79) and so on. Now, any type of rock can be enjoyed here, especially by many all-female or women-fronted bands. They are daughters of American / European rock, for sure. (Many are grand-daughters in terms of age.)
Uh-oh, we also say "Japan is the country obsessed by Jazz". It had started earlier than rock meaning we imported it earlier from your country 😄 .
Welcome to the Wolfpack ]:) Today you have been Lovebitten next should be a more ballad style song that showcases the singer Asami's R&B Background her voice is amazing on this song, Miyako starts on Piano and then moves to her Guitar for a very moving Gary Moore style solo which leads back to Asami singing one line that leads to the song picking up and changing speed then Midori gets her guitar solo while Haruna pounds the drums as if they stole her boyfriend and she wants him back. Sadly the Bassist and Founder Miho in 2021 left the band she's solid on this song keeping the rhythm her replacement Fami will have big shoes to fill. here's Lovebites Edge of The World th-cam.com/video/UZjxMjBop7w/w-d-xo.html

I loved this reaction! They are amazing! Long live Lovebites! 🎸🎸🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥
Welcome too the new wave of bad ass Metal from Japan. Primarily steered by Women btw. Lovebites has been a band since 2016 and all the women in this Video are in their early 30's as of 2022. They have no flaws Musically nor Performance wise. Energy, Class, Beauty and Professor level Applied music theory. What sets them apart is the Contrast of what you see with what you hear. I liken them too a Roller Coaster ride. Thrilling from start too finish. Welcome too the Wolfpack.
Yes, The guitarist are amazing, Midori and Miyako are one of the best guitar duos in Metal today, but the entire band is awesome!

Welcome to lovebites,this is queen of metal,hopefully you guys enjoy lovebites
Damn, the other comments have already said everything I was going to say. Anyway, I love this band and never get tired of listening to them. I have their entire discography and enjoy every song. Now that added their new bass guitarist, Fami, I'm excited for their future and would love to see them live. If you'd like to see another of their songs similar to this, "Glory to the World," "Shadowmaker," or "Addicted" are all great choices. If you'd like to see something a little different, "Swan Song," "Empty Daydream," and "Edge of the World" are all worth watching.
All songs are incredible,no bad song. You"ll be blown away with any song, these ladies are next level in music. Good reaction guys
My Lovebites 🏴 🐺 🤘
shocking awesome ya.. you've been bitten by Lovebites. they have 50 songs and all of it so damn good song. react more👍

LOVEBITES - Holy War lyrics:
Look at those black clouds, it’s going to rain blood
People live in fear, covered in mud
Singing oh Gloria to change the prophecy
We are the metal warriors
Fighting the darkness for sisters
There is a thousand, a thousand of evils
Hush, do not wake up Satan’s devils
Singing Hallelujah to save our majesty
We are the metal warriors
Fighting the darkness for brothers
Shining blade and burning heart
Into the Gates of Hell we march
Immortal soul, let there be light
Into the Eye of Heaven
Eagles at a holy war
Fly higher than the sun
We are one for all and all for one forevermore
SOLO: midori
Kingdom of Heaven, never shall we fall
Reincarnation, wait for your call
Singing oh, Gloria to change the prophecy
We are the metal warriors
Fighting the darkness for sisters
Morning star and dying moon
Into the Gates of Hell we march
Mighty soul, let there be hope
Into the Eye of Heaven
Eagles at a holy war
Fly higher than the sun
Stand up in the name of the God of heavy metal
What do we live for？What do we fight for, tonight？
But the world is beautiful, worth fighting for
Only have one thing on our mind
Facing the fate, holy war
SOLO: miyako / midori / both
Singing Hallelujah to save our majesty
We are the metal warriors
Fighting the darkness for brothers
Shining blade and burning heart
Into the Gates of Hell we march
Immortal soul, let there be light
Into the Eye of Heaven
Eagles at a holy war
Fly higher than the sun
We are one for all and all for one forevermore
What do we live for？What do we fight for, tonight？
But the world is beautiful, worth fighting for
Only have one thing on our mind
Facing the fate, holy war

Yay! Think I've nagged you a couple times to do Lovebites, awesome reaction! Just scratching the surface with the Goddesses in white!! Best band in metal, for real!! 🦊🐺
Welcome to the best new metal band to come along in decades. In their five years of existence thus far, they have easily put themselves on par with the greatest bands of metal’s golden age. Other reviewers have described them as alien superheroes disguised as young women, angels, princesses of metal, and angry bridesmaids. Some background:
They were formed in 2016 from the remnants of a legendary all-girl Japanese metal band called Destrose (yes, all-girl metal has been a thing in Japan since at least 1981). Miho (bass, chief headbanger and soul of the band) had a vision of a new band in the style of the great European bands of the golden age of metal. She recruited her former bandmate Haruna (drums, 4'9" “pocket nuclear reactor”); they needed two world-class guitarists, and so they went and found Midori and Miyako, who were with other bands. The whole group then found Asami, the singer, who was doing soul and blues at the time (she was also trained in ballet). Miyako has composed a little more than half of their music, with Miho composing a lot of their thrashier songs in collaboration with Mao, the lead composer of another band called Lightbringer. Midori has also been getting into the act, and they regularly perform a song written by Haruna as well. Asami writes most of the lyrics.
They studied all the great historical metal bands going back to Purple and Sabbath, through Maiden, Priest, Metallica, Helloween, Slayer etc. They toured with Dragonforce in 2019, and word from those in attendance is that next time around, it will be the ladies headlining. They have incorporated some of the best of each of those bands into their arsenal, and have created a sound that is fresh and cutting edge while paying tribute to the old masters.
This is one of their usual first songs for reactors, and rightly so--you get a good sense of the band. They do everything from soulful power ballads to heavy thrash. Almost every song includes face-melting solos by Miyako and Midori. The two guitarists are quite different in style and tone. Midori (blonde ponytail) is the extrovert and speed demon; Miyako is the introvert, with the more soulful feel (though she can also shred like crazy). Midori uses a cleaner tone, Miyako uses more distortion, pinch harmonics and pedal effects. The contrast makes their duets rich and dynamic. It doesn’t hurt that either one can smoke most of the shredders in the classic metal bands. As another reviewer said, "It seems criminal these two are allowed to be in the same band." Here are more clips you should check out:
“Set the World on Fire” th-cam.com/video/99zsH6iG_6c/w-d-xo.html and “Don’t Bite the Dust” th-cam.com/video/oHnKGEj1CMc/w-d-xo.html, from their recently released concert DVD “Heavy Metal Never Dies”.
"Edge of the World" and "We the United", back to back: th-cam.com/video/sl0-U-ykJCU/w-d-xo.html They form an incredible journey from darkness and despair to light and hope.
Also, “Empty Daydream”, which starts as a ballad and becomes a real rocker: th-cam.com/video/lXh_uMM94jU/w-d-xo.html
Miyako is also a virtuoso concert pianist, and was headed for a career in classical music, before picking up the guitar. If you want to see what she can do on the piano, watch “Swan Song” WITH the prelude, which is Chopin’s “Revolutionary Etude” (official name Étude Opus 10, No. 12 in C minor). Miyako wrote “Swan Song” using elements from several classical pieces including the Etude. This link should work: th-cam.com/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/w-d-xo.html.
For a thrasher with heavy Slayer and Metallica vibes, “Break the Wall” th-cam.com/video/G021aP2ao6Y/w-d-xo.html includes two gorgeous and completely contrasting solos by M&M.
For a heart-stopping ballad, “Epilogue” th-cam.com/video/1ynnXDfEnnY/w-d-xo.html (this includes a second song, your choice whether or not to react to both)
Finally, while you will sometimes hear you should only react to live clips, actually their MV’s are epic and worth seeing. Here are four of the most spectacular:
"Shadowmaker" th-cam.com/video/Brmoln5Gxus/w-d-xo.html
This is the song that blew up and melted faces all over the world
"When Destinies Align" th-cam.com/video/hLFelI93VkM/w-d-xo.html
"Glory to the World" th-cam.com/video/-wJtD2XEXH4/w-d-xo.html
"Winds of Transylvania" th-cam.com/video/HsE4Ub_Pjh8/w-d-xo.html.
You'll get lots of suggestions, just one thing: don't bother with Bloodstock footage, the sound quality is poor. Best to take suggestions with actual links. Also, you can’t go wrong with any of their official clips. Welcome to the Wolf-Pack!
These ladies are truly one of the best if not the best metal band out there today. They never disappoint. I stumbled upon them 2 years ago and can't get enough of them, and to answer your question regarding age they are all in their early 30's except their new bassist (Fami) who is 20. The band are... Asami vocals... Haruna drums... Miho bassist in this video... Midori left guitarist and Miyako right guitarist. The band was formed by Haruna and Miho.
A new rabbit hole!! 😀🤟🤘🤘
Bloody Lovebites 🐺 I love'em
They are not fooling around, they make it for real Heavy Metal..
welcome to the metal Goddess Lovebites. they don't have a single bad song.
from more progressive song please check "Frozen Serenade".
Best band on the planet.
Whoa! Great reaction but one thing I have to pull you up on. What do these bands all have in common.... Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest? One they are all the pioneers of heavy metal, two they are all British! The US didn't export heavy metal to Japan... the UK did that. One of Lovebites's greatest influences is Iron Maiden, arguably the most famous metal band on the planet. Iron Maiden are English not American. Japan has had a metal movement ever since Deep Purple played there in 1972 so for an American to claim the cultural heritage of Japan's heavy metal scene is risible.

Metal was born here in the UK 🇬🇧 🤘💜
They're all in their thirties. The new bassist Fami (not shown here) is 20.
Yeah I was going to say it was the UK who exported their heavy metal to the rest of the world not the USA. Was Iron Maiden the first metal band to tour Japan?
@@ChadTheDragonLord And don't forget "Made in Japan" Deep Purple's Live LP helped pave the way for Live albums.
@@marks5451 It all started with Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Uriah Heep. Concerts at the "Nippon Budokan" (Tokyo, capacity over 14,000):
Led Zeppelin (1971,1972) , Deep Purple (1972) , Uriah Heep (1973), Rainbow (1976), Aerosmith (1977) , Kiss (1977 ), Michael Schenker Group (1981.1982) , Judas Priest (1986), Iron Maiden (1987), Skid Row (1992), Yngwie Malmsteen (1994), Ozzy Osbourne (2002), Dream Theater (2004)
@@GrayFox14 Yep. Purple, Zeppelin, Uriah Heep Rainbow - the bands of my youth. 😄😄
@@marks5451 I like these bands too. 👍I have a DVD of Uriah Heep's concert (Budokan, March 1973). There is also a UH album with personal autographs by Lee Kerslake and Mick Box
The saviors of Heavy Metal since 2016 🤘🐺🤘
Not to rain on your parade, but metal was originally British: Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden... Actually, Lovebites admire Britain for being the motherland of metal, as reflected in their song Golden Destination, honoring a tour in the UK.
In this video, they are all in their late twenties or early thirties. They have another bass player now who is in fact 20, but they still don't look significantly older than her. Asian women do age more slowly, it seems.
No, they're not sisters, although Stage Right (Midori) and Stage Left (Miyako) occasionally do refer to each other as "my shred sister". However, they are both from Osaka (Japan's most relaxed big city), or at least went to college there.
I was also going to pull him up over the 'American Metal' quote.
@@wildething7923 Right? If it had been one of their thrash songs, I wouldn't have said anything, since thrash is American in origin. But not metal per se.
@@oliphant2848 It's like he's never heard of Led Zep, Deep Purple, Sabbath, Priest, Maiden, Motorhead, etc 🙂
I'm glad you liked this phenomenal band. Just one thing I have to say, it was certainly not America who exported Metal to the world, but first and foremost the UK and then other european countries like Germany, Sweden or Finland 🤘🏻
For some reason, Americans believe that all the best appeared in America. 😊You are a nice, interesting couple of reactors but, I'm sorry, heavy music originated in ....... the UK. 🤗Hard-rock first appeared (in the late 60s - early 70s), and then metal (in the late 70s and early 80s.) : Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Uriah Heep,Nazareth, Judas Priest, Saxon ,Iron Maiden, Motörhead, Def Leppard and etc. are all British bands.
As for Japan, already in the 70-80s there were a lot of metal bands in Japan. In a sense, Japan is a "closed country" for Europeans and Americans (in terms of music). Most Europeans and Americans do not even suspect that if you take the average Japanese musician, then his technique and mastery of musical instruments is higher than that of the average European or American musician. What is considered unique in Europe or America is the norm in Japan.
Music training for Japanese children often begins in kindergarten, and at school, children are already required to learn to play musical instruments. This is included in the school curriculum. The innate industriousness of the Japanese, the system of upbringing and education, as well as the early development of musical instruments by children (often from 2-3 years old), etc. allows you to reveal the talents of children so that they become highly professional musicians.
It is very interesting and pleasant to watch your reaction.👏👍 I probably sat with the same face as you when I first saw Japanese metal.🤭
Hi, you have finally discovered these girls from LOVEBITES. Sue, I assure you, your jaw will drop more than once. And I'm not going to recommend any song to you, because all the songs they have are very good. Choose a leg the next reaction, whatever it is you will love it
The premeire this morning of Lovebites Judgement Day was amazing all 5 girls were in the pre video chat it was great I tagged all 5 and asked them to Please tour the USA ]:)

please react more from lovebites, once you get into this band became an obsession " LOVEBITES - Swan Song [+Chopin Intro] (Five of a Kind, 21/02/2020) ", next !
METALHEAD: Metal is music played by older angry looking white guys dressed in black with beer bellies and tattos.
LOVEBITES: Hold our lipsticks.
Not to contradict on the export of metal from the US most of Lovebites influences come from the UK and is akin to the 80s NWoBHM not AOR ( American orientated rock), bands like Iron Maiden, Dragon force, Judas Priest and the German band Helloween. However, Lovebites are the epitome of everything that has come out of the UK during that decade!
Aor- Album oriented rock, although it is an American thing.
Wolfpack is coming !! Hold on!!
"What just happened?" That is an expected response when first discovering Japanese Female Metal bands.
Girls not related but are The Daughters of the Dawn. They are late twenties to early thirties. Recently girl stage right gave birth and lead singer got married and also became a Mom.
our right (sir name first)
Our Left:
Tatematsu Midori - Guitar (lead, rhythm, acoustic), backing vocals
Miho - Bass, backing vocals (founder replaced when left band by Fami)
Asami - Singer
Haruna - Drummer (all 4'9" of her)
Our right:
Watanabe Miyako - Guitar (lead rhythm, acoustic), Keyboards, Keytar, Piano, backing vocals
They write most of their music and lyrics.
Next song: Break the Wall, Raise some Hell, The Crusade, Rising, Set the World on Fire, ...
This is a fast song, I think The Wolfman would appreciate one of the more keyboard/piano oriented songs like: Swan Song
LOVEBITES - Shadowmaker - Live at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020, please.
The next one could be: Chopin etude + Swan song. Thanks.
If you want to see and hear the groans and howling of the guitar, feel free to react to WInds of Transylvania live th-cam.com/video/qd_qop5j1bs/w-d-xo.html
Other people's recommended songs may differ from each other.
However, the common point that everyone says is the fact that "everything is a masterpiece and there is not a single bad work!"
Also, it doesn't matter if metal originated in America or England. i don't care.
Because the bands they like are Metallica, Halloween, Underground, Maiden, Priest, Dragon Force, etc. They are not all from the same country.
Many Japanese people think that metal originated in Finland.
Japan is a country that "takes in various foreign cultures, mixes them, develops them independently, and remakes them into things that have never been seen before."
他の人たちが言っているお勧め曲は、皆それぞれ違うかもしれません。
しかし、皆が言っている共通点は「全てが傑作で、駄作は1つもない！」と言う事実です。
また、メタル発祥はアメリカでも英国でも、どこでも良いです。私は問題にしていません。
なぜなら、彼女たちが好きなバンドはメタリカ、ハロウィン、アングラ、メイデン、プリースト、ドラゴンフォース等々、全て同じ国とは限りません。
日本人から見れば、メタルはフィンランドが発祥だと思う人も多いです。
日本と言う国は「色々な外国の文化を取り入れ、混ざり合い、独自に発展させ、今まで見た事の無い物に作り替えるという事」が、他国から見れば面白いのだと思います。
LOVEBITES🔥🤘🐺🤘🔥
They named the band after the Grammy winning Halestorm song Love Bites (So Do I). Lead singer, Asami, has been on stage with Lzzy and the bots performing that song.
The piano on stage isn't just for decoration. Check out Swan Song with Chopin piano intro.🤘🤘
Formed in 2016 by former bassist Miho, and drummer Haruna. Midori and Miyako on guitar. New bassist( just recently announced) is Fami.
Awesome reaction guys as always. So glad you have finaly reacted to lovebites. Absolutley fantastic musicians. I think you should give the swansong with chopin intro a listen to. I know wolfman loves a bit of piano. Hope your both well x

Im hearing now metal for around 45 years, but these girls are one the most talented bands i have ever seen. Together with Nightwish they are my favorite band now. I hope the will come to europe, i want to see them live!
I absolutely love the drummer for some reason she reminds me of the girl with the black hair in 'Breakfast Club'. Shy, silent, in the back of the class. And then she starts to drum...
Suesue looks like a bus is rushing through her living room 😊

It's just talent, musicianship and professionalism. The bassist, Miho, band founder, wrote this song with their producer Moa. Unfortunately Miho has left the band. The new bassist is Fami, hugely talented.
These ladies are in their early 30's!! They all write songs with Miyako, black hair guitarist, has written about half of their songs with Asami, vocals, writing the lyrics. Midori, blond ponytail, left pharmacy school and began playing the guitar at 20yo. Haruna, drums, is a superb drummer one of the best in Japan and likely the world.
They wear white because they petite ladies. Because metal stages are usually dark they choose White as it would reflect the lights making them stand out in the dark.
Next - "Swan Song, with Chopin Etude" you'll love the piano.
Mao is not their producer. He's a fellow musician who they collaborate with occasionally.
Mao (keyboards) - musician from the heavy-metal band LIGHT BRINGER . He is not a producer of LOVEBITES. He assists in writing and arranging some of the LOVEBITES songs. The band is produced by Steve Jacobs.
Thanks for reacting to amazing Lovebites and spreading the word; they deserve more recognition. These women are extremely talented, skillful and versatile exceptional musicians. They really shine in their live performances and yes, their performances are just jaw-dropping. Their main influences are Iron Maiden, Metallica, Slayer, Helloween, Angra, Judas Priest, Dragonforce, and even Gary Moore, but they have been developing their unique style. Some people say that they’re redefining metal. Miyako is also a concert-level classical pianist. Asami used to sing R&B, soul and jazz before she joined Lovebites. Those twin lead guitar solos by Midori and Miyako are already legendary, in just six years.
Unfortunately Miho (bass) left the band last year, but a few days ago the band announced the new bass player, Fami; so they’re ready to set the world on fire. In an interview, Miho (ex bassist) said that they wanted to play as heavy as men but keeping their femininity. My next suggestions are “Thunder vengeance”, “Break the wall”, “Set the world on fire”, “The Awakening/Hammer of wrath”, “Raise some hell”, “Scream for me”, “When destinies align”, “The crusade”, “Dancing with the devil”, “Above the Black Sea”, “Under the red sky”, “Addicted”, “Don’t bite the dust”, “Winds of Transylvania”; and for a different side of them: “Chopin Etude + Swan song”, “Empty daydream”, “Edge of the world”, “Epilogue”, “Glory to the world”, “Frozen serenade”, “Spellbound”, “Today is the day”, “Liar” (all live, but “When destinies align”, “Winds of Transylvania” and Glory to the world” have excellent MV). Lineup:
Haruna - Drums
Miho - Ex Bass, backing vocals
Midori - Lead & rhythm guitar, backing vocals
Miyako - Lead & rhythm guitar, keyboards, classical piano, backing vocals
Asami - Lead vocals, some piano
By the way, their fans are called “the wolfpack”.
Great reaction from lovebites reaction mania
I think I suggested Lovebites some time back amidst our conversations on Nightwish videos - I think the ladies are mostly in their early 30's except the new bass player who I believe is 20. You can hear how heavily influenced they are by English bands (Wolfman 😆 🤣) such as Iron Maiden and Judas Priest - sorry, I had to get that in there being a Brit!! I would almost beg you both to do 'Swan Song' with the Chopin piano intro - but there is a link that doesn't include the piano intro - it really is a must - I think your jaw will hit the floor Su Su!! 😆 As always take good care of yourselves 😃...David.
Thanks David!! We love new music and suggestions
I’d love to hear the Chopin intro to Swan Song there’s got to be somewhere I can hear it
We do love Lovebites so keep the suggestions coming brother

Perfect reaction. Why? Just like you said - the shocking open mouth stare. We've all been there. I haven't even looked at the other 99 comments, but I'm guessing you have a ton of requests already. I've been a metal listener since 1971 (Zeppelin), and now Lovebites is my all time favorite band, and stage right guitar player in the black hair, Miyako, is my favorite musician and composer (she composes a lot of Lovebites songs). I'll give you a few requests -

DAMN
They're not sisters and sadly, Miho, the bassist and founder has left the band. They're amazing. This song is good, but there are several more that I love a lot more than this one. When Destinies Align, Set The World on Fire and Glory to the World.
We will check it out! Sad about miho
Damn...Lovebites...soo Good 🔥🔥🔥🤘😸🤘
The British exported metal, to all the rest of us. New Wave of British Heavy Metal. Best regards from the Kingdom of Denmark, which "transferred" good genes to the British in the Viking Age.🤘
Guys, if you liked this you have to check on the best band from Japan, Nemophila. They are all female Metal Core band, they are the Fluffy Hell. You can begin with Disscension, Revive or Oiran.
One of the best from Japan, not THE best. That's all a matter of taste.
well NO, LoveBites is a S tier Heavy Metal band, Nemophila is a C tier metal core band, and there not in the same genre anyway, notice the 2nd word, it's the origin of the music, heavy metal is metal, and metal core is core, that is hard core is punk rock... so maybe you should find other bands to compare nemo to, out side of heavy metal.
Very interesting .... May I know by what criteria do you determine which band is the best in Japan?
Great reaction. We Wolfpack usually suggest tons of their songs for your farther reaction but surprisingly none so far!! I recommend you to try their incredible performance Swan Song with Revolutionary Etude th-cam.com/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/w-d-xo.html, or a most beautiful progressive metal with surprises A Frozen Serenade th-cam.com/video/Ae8pQVu-RN8/w-d-xo.html.
BTW, every one of them composes and they compose and arrange all their songs except for three cover songs.
🙏Welcome 2 the Wolfpack 🤟🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺❣
Don't know who you have seen but if you like this Japanese band (Put Swansong live with Chopin into on your list)
check out these
Band Maid - Non Fiction Days (Hard Rock)
Aldious - We Are (this band has no bad songs in their discography plus plays lots of styles all filled with great hooks) - I would also recommended their songs - Dominator live, Go Away, Piece of my Wish, Fragile, Sweet Temptation, Step, Die For You, Other World. - Note they have had 4 outstanding singers (Rami, Re:No, Rin and Maki Oyama) and 2 drummers (current Drummer, Marina Bozzio, is the daughter of legendary prog rocker, Terry Bozzio who was the drummer for Frank Zappa)
Versailles - Aristocrats Symphony live Holy Grail
Unlucky Morpheus - Cadaver / Revedac
Bridear -Brave New World Revisited
Lovendor - Coward
Iron Bunny - 23 Twenty Three
Wagakki Band - Homura live
ありがとう😊
Nothing "creepy" about pointing out the obvious … not only are these ladies extremely talented, they are all smoking hot as well.
None related. Miho the Bassist and Haruna the Drummer were previously in a Band called Destrose whose former members went on to form Mary's Blood, Nemophilia, Fare Gear, Disqualia and Lovebites.
Asami the singer came to the US for 2 years trying to start an R & B singing career without success (she studied classical ballet since the age of 2) and never heard of heavy metal till she auditioned for this band and sang Halestorm's song Lovebites, they like the song and performance so much they named the band after it. - Note her Blus singing comes out in Epilogue and Edge of the World.
Midori the blonde guitarist is a fitness model who placed 6th in a recent competition.
Miyako is a concert pianist who picked up guitar in college. - If you do Swansong with Chopin intro you'll see her skills on the piano.
