Fami's audition tapes were done in a stripped down studio large room. We were able to see the members of Lovebites in a way never seen before. Fami came into the the audition with a humble but hopeful attitude and her competition was very good. I think the other bassists that tried out would have also been good bassists for lovebites but the right choice was definitely Fami. She played Hammer of Wrath, Shadow Maker & Golden Destination. I was very impressed with her bass sound and her understanding of how to play the songs. She brought an awareness of her predecessor's stage performance and adopted it to her own style. Nothing makes me happier than to see Fami absolutely nail Golden Destination on her trials and it was the moment that I knew for sure she was the best choice.
Drummer Haruna wrote this song in Japanese on their Lovebites EP Asami transferred it to English when they added all four songs from the EP to their 1st whole album Awakening from the Abyss.
with over 650.000 followers on TH-cam before Lovebites there never was a question about Fami being awesome here's a link to here covering Alien Alien on the bass in her studio Fami Alien Alien th-cam.com/video/Q_UqztwYAOU/w-d-xo.html
LOVEBITES - Bravehearted lyrics: Throw away all the masks that you wear You're not fooling nobody with cheap imitations Don't take it, your heart can see right through it all Turn and face all the fear that you're hiding from Take what you can and turn everything into your own strength Keep pushing forth, all the way Chained to the fear engraved deep inside Memories that will stay, still haunting Even if there is nobody else You must keep the promise of faith Don't you pity yourself for your weakness Without any sacrifice, you can forget all the prayers It's up to you to be your God Drowning into a sea of hopelessness Underneath all the weight and burden If you want to escape destiny Be prepared to burn through the blazing sun Glory to the brave, deserted you may stand But no matter how arduous, be the victorious Prove that your will's the strongest battle cry Go and raise your sword, the war has just begun There is always a way if you know that your heart is true Nothing can stop your soul from breaking free Don't turn your back, no don't make it pretend Fight through the pain until you've reached the end Though dark and bloody, have no worries There will be redemption Finally when the skies rise over you Triumph will be in your heart shining through Forever guiding the way into the light Silently listening to words of Hell and hate Shatters the armour to sway your fragile heart Still it's the only way, refuse to give it up Keep the focus, and you will notice Everything is almost in your grasp Drowning into a sea of hopelessness Underneath all the weight and burden If you want to escape destiny Be prepared to burn through the blazing sun Glory to the brave, deserted you may stand But no matter how arduous, be the victorious Prove that your will's the strongest battle cry Go and raise your sword, the war has just begun There is always a way if you know that your heart is true Nothing can stop your soul from breaking free Don't turn your back, no don't make it pretend Fight through the pain until you've reached the end Though dark and bloody, have no worries There will be redemption Finally when the skies rise over you Triumph will be in your heart shining through Forever guiding the way into the light If you swear to God, you must see it through The power is in your hands ----- lyrics: haruna (translated with asami) music: haruna arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) EP: The LOVEBITES EP 05/24/2017 (Japanese language lyrics) album: Awakening From Abyss 10/25/2017 (English lyrics)
If you haven't already checked into them, Fami has many videos of her bass play prior, and some more just recently performing.. Check out her cover (version) of Alien Alien to start, and you'll get a sample of her genius.
October 2022: Faaaaaaaaaami (like "far") was announced as "5th element of LOVEBITES" with this video from the studio (in black, first official session, if you don't count the jamming from the auditions).
I'm going to reply you here so as not to alert the troll. In the two old dudes reaction, those other 2 accounts with "metal" in the username are actually my accounts. A few of us in the Wolfpack have created extra accounts to combat the troll, ie. fight fire with fire. Acknowledge you have read this reply with a "like", etc... I will then delete this reply.
The bass is more prominent in the mix as usual. So the focus on Fami is more in the audio. And she stays in front of this stage setup and not on the „normal“ bassist position … There is also a short version of this video on LOVEBITE‘s TH-cam channel to welcome Fami and introduce her to the fans. I haven’t seen such a warm welcome to a new member before from other bands. This long version is from a limited edition of their album „Judgement Day“.
Thank you for your reaction. I also advise you to watch LOVEBITES perform this song at a concert. The atmosphere of a live concert and the reactions of the audience will give you additional emotions from the performance of this song.

JUDGEMENT DAY CD + Blu-ray Limited Edition 🤘🐺🤘 Bassist Audition Documentary (36min) Studio Sessions Live with Fami (24min) The Hammer Of Wrath - Golden Destination - Shadowmaker - *Bravehearted*
The documentary they made of the bassist audition process is really good. You can only get the full version with subtitles if you buy Judgement Day through JPU Records, though.
After listening for over 40 years of rock and metal, especially pointing out Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, Lovebites has the best dual guitarists in the genre of rock/metal. Though I do miss Miho, I think that Lovebites did a great job picking Fami as their new bassist. Check online for individual Fami videos she made before Lovebites and new ones. Her newest posted just a day ago named Creepy Nuts, Bling-Bang-Bang-Born (Bass Cover).
Fami rarely showed her face in her pre LOVEBITES videos so many didn't really know what she looked like. In this video she looks as if she is still hiding her full face with her hair. I wonder if that was "force of habit"? 😊
Hello everyone. Fami has surprised me in an incredible way. His technique is tremendous. I must say that we all love Miho, but I sincerely think that Fami is a better bass player, and he has also given the band the fresh air that it needed after the two-year break. Miho imbued the band with an air of melancholy that perhaps would negatively affect the group in the long term. Fami is youth and joy and eternal smile and enormous quality.

She was the perfect fit. She just has an incredible amount of effortless charisma.
When they first introduced Fami, it was with a shortened version of this video where the focus was on her.

LOVEBITES - Bravehearted lyrics:
Throw away all the masks that you wear
You're not fooling nobody with cheap imitations
Don't take it, your heart can see right through it all
Turn and face all the fear that you're hiding from
Take what you can and turn everything into your own strength
Keep pushing forth, all the way
Chained to the fear engraved deep inside
Memories that will stay, still haunting
Even if there is nobody else
You must keep the promise of faith
Don't you pity yourself for your weakness
Without any sacrifice, you can forget all the prayers
It's up to you to be your God
Drowning into a sea of hopelessness
Underneath all the weight and burden
If you want to escape destiny
Be prepared to burn through the blazing sun
Glory to the brave, deserted you may stand
But no matter how arduous, be the victorious
Prove that your will's the strongest battle cry
Go and raise your sword, the war has just begun
There is always a way if you know that your heart is true
Nothing can stop your soul from breaking free
Don't turn your back, no don't make it pretend
Fight through the pain until you've reached the end
Though dark and bloody, have no worries
There will be redemption
Finally when the skies rise over you
Triumph will be in your heart shining through
Forever guiding the way into the light
Silently listening to words of Hell and hate
Shatters the armour to sway your fragile heart
Still it's the only way, refuse to give it up
Keep the focus, and you will notice
Everything is almost in your grasp
Drowning into a sea of hopelessness
Underneath all the weight and burden
If you want to escape destiny
Be prepared to burn through the blazing sun
Glory to the brave, deserted you may stand
But no matter how arduous, be the victorious
Prove that your will's the strongest battle cry
Go and raise your sword, the war has just begun
There is always a way if you know that your heart is true
Nothing can stop your soul from breaking free
Don't turn your back, no don't make it pretend
Fight through the pain until you've reached the end
Though dark and bloody, have no worries
There will be redemption
Finally when the skies rise over you
Triumph will be in your heart shining through
Forever guiding the way into the light
If you swear to God, you must see it through
The power is in your hands

Haruna's song! 🥁⭐🤘 Fami fit into this band perfectly! 👍🎸
Believe it or not Fami was already very well known for doing her own music before auditioning to join Lovebites

I appreciate, that they didn't make this a ProofOfConcept for Fami, but for LOVEBITES 2.0. The message was "LOVEBITES is back!"

I like this song because it was written by Haruna
I guess this is the first official session that was recorded after the audition.
Heay, check out some of Famis video. Most people start with: Fami 現役JKが「エイリアンエイリアン 」スラップしてベース弾いてみた/ふぁみ。 [alien alien Bass cover]
🤘
🤟🏻🔥🔥🐺🔥🔥🤘🏻
Damn, Miyako has some insane pedal board, she is soo nerdy about her gear :)
Fami rarely showed her face in her pre LOVEBITES videos so many didn't really know what she looked like. In this video she looks as if she is still hiding her full face with her hair. I wonder if that was "force of habit"? 😊
Fami is pronounced like Mommy.

...that SG looks a bit precarious up there...
1966 SG, My father bought it for me when I was 9 years old and stays in tune, fabulous guitar with P90 pickup
@@AgnesIsMyDog i like those tailpieces...
