What do Avenged Sevenfold Anthrax and Lovebites have in common? Answer: all 3 won the best new band award at the Metal Hammer Golden Gods awards Lovebites won in 2018
I've been listening to top metal bands for over fifty years, so I expect the girls to play on a top notch level. What impresses me most is their song writing. They just keep coming out with banger after banger. Not many bands I've listened to over the many years could do that.
LOVEBITES - Today Is The Day lyrics: What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger What doesn’t stop you makes you wiser What doesn’t hurt you only means you have fought the pain before No need to worry about anything No need to think about it again No need to fear the failure, never never nevermore Just cause you breathe, doesn’t mean you’re living Just cause you hope, doesn’t mean you’re trying Just cause you try, doesn’t mean you’re right those who live are those who fight May it be catastrophe Once you make your decision You must go on and never look back again Day by day The beginning of infinity We’ll rise up no matter what with our greatest glory Today is the day Live every second like your last Aiming for the stars above, and higher What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger What doesn’t stop you makes you wiser What doesn’t hurt you only means you have fought the pain before May it be catastrophe Once you make your decision You must go on and never look back again Day by day The beginning of infinity We’ll rise up no matter what with our greatest glory Today is the day Live every second like your last Aiming for the stars above, and higher ----- lyrics: asami music: miyako arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami)
No music, musicians, band have ever had the effect on me that LOVEBITES have. I have said it every day for three years, I’ll say it again and again. LOVEBITES are, for me, the best group of musicians and the most likeable group of people in music, with no time restrictions and no peers. The best.
Some people say that brutality has never been so gorgeous. I really love Asami’s smile while playing the piano. This is another excellent song by amazing Lovebites.
Let’s talk about Asami’s smile at the beginning. It resonates with your soul. As Midori’s one in the Shadownmaker video. This band just transcends Music 🤘🏻🐺
... and me "Iron Maiden" - when I discovered them in the 1980s. Without wanting to compare both bands. Both bands have different forte's, and different approaches, despite delivering excellent Metal. I just mean the innovative and demanding approach, when they appeared on the scene.
3:21 Their dresses are a _brilliant_ corporate identity (or marketing) decision, in my opinion. In first line, for me personally, the dresses make them "priestesses of Metal". And they actually play sort of "holy" music, because they present Metal pure, clean and demanding, without sinister lyrics or botchful music. Metal as it is best. And their dresses make them seem like "girls next door", whereas they actually are grown-up and mature *ladies* , who can easily overwhelm us with their music and arrangements.
Damn man, you nailed it. That's right, these women represent quality, elegance, beauty, even with a touch of innocence, without being sexualized at all, they are beautiful. It is the perfect counterpoint to what heavy music has become in the West, something dark, sad, dirty at times. Just seeing a gang of old men in shorts playing the guitar, like the current Iron Maiden, is even aesthetically unpleasant to me, in addition to the fact that they have been playing the same song, with small variations, for 30 years. Japan's female rock groups have revolutionized everything, thank goodness.
Welcome back... I don't think you will hear a bad one.. They are that good... Lovebites = Beauty, Class, Elegance and talent, Kickin a** and takin names.... With a Smile..
Of course, they are the true best metal band. Yes, no bad songs, multi talented. feminism white dress that brightens up the metal world with beautiful adrenalin music+melodic voice. Thanks bro👍🤘
So immensly talented, I'm a guitar solo simp. Always feel like Midori deserves a forearm bash after her solos and Miyako deserves a bow down salute after her's. We're not worthy, but so fortunate to get to experience this much talent in one band. I agree with you that you know what to expect from them, but it never ceases to amaze each time. Other than Nemophila I rarely listen to much else. Metallica, Slayer, Iron Maiden, etc. are currently collecting dust in my den. I have Tix to see them in Atlanta next year and hoping they add some more dates as well.
As with all the videos from this concert, just remember, Miako has a 3 or 4 month 'Baby bump' rocking out inside her behind that guitar.. So you will notice that for a 2 hour concert she is wearing flat shoes & not the normal high heels. Great reaction man. I've grown up with all the big bands right back from the early 70's. These women are my favorite now. They have the ability to make my eyes weep just from the sheer pride I have for them. It's the music itself that drags the emotions out of me.The writing & structure of the songs. And then the visuals &performances. Absolutely sublime.
One of Lovebites lesser known masterpieces, thanks for reacting to this. They are all playing at top tier level, and how about some kudos for Haruna? Her stick tricks while smiling at the camera gets me every time.
Have you already watched the drummer Hibiki Shiraishi, who is part of the Japanese session band "Chaos Control" (Metal, with Miho on the bass guitar)? Maybe you want to watch their mv "The legacy within". The drummer there does some tricks, too, but at a higher speed. 😁 I don't want to compare both bands, this is just a hint.
Welcome back to Lovebites and great reaction to one of my fav songs from the ladies ! Really love the catchy riff to this track. I went to your YT page and to my shock and horror you don't have a Lovebites playlist 😱😱 Just kidding... I was going to recommend a song but couldn't recall what you had already done.

Awesome genuine reaction as always! We, the Wolfpack, appreciate you 🙏. I really think it's time for you to do some LoveBites music videos. It will show different perspectives of these insanely talented ladies. I recommend Rising, Shadowmaker, When Destinies Align. Rock on 🤘 and peace ✌️ bro...
Wonderful women, fantastic band. Tremendous quality, elegance, class and beauty, all in one. Each song is a different world, without losing the essence of heavy metal, and in this case it is Asami's dazzling beauty, her perfect voice, which stands out above her wonderful companions.
I haven't watched this one for a while - thanks for reminding me how good it is. Mind you I say that about most of their songs if I haven't seen it for a few weeks. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
glad you chose this amazing song - very few reactions to it and the solos are some of their best. plus asami on the keys - you just can't lose with LOVEBITES. no flak from this corner - imo they are better than everybody. all put together !
That song / arrangement / vibe is sooo "Iron Maiden"-like in my opinion (in the best way, of course!), from beginning to the end. Maybe similar to the song "Stratego" (album "Senjutsu")? That is meant as a praise, for Iron Maiden, Lovebites and Nemophila are my personal favorite Metal bands.
Thanks for your reaction. On June 28, 2024, LOVEBITES will perform at 'Mainstage 01' of the 'Hellfest Open Air' festival (Clisson, France, June 27 - 30, 2024, six stages, planned 180 - 200 bands). MEGADETH, METALLICA, MACHINE HEAD, AVENGED SEVENFOLD (which you mentioned) will also perform at 'Mainstage 01'.
Love you're reactions, yes its a power move and they can rest the guitar on their legs their outfits are princess metal worrier outfits, their song Holy War. There very inspiring, every song is epic!
Great reaction, as always, to IMHO the greatest band of the world in our generation, or even since the Big Bang! Lovebites, Nemophila and The Warning are my all-time favorites. May I also recommend again to check out some Fate Gear (songs like "Unbreakbale Wings", "Headless Goddess", "Megabulltes", "Architecture Slave Dictator" (no MV afaik), "Lunatic-faced", and/or "Queen of the War")? Judging by the musical taste you've shown so far, I would think you might like them, too (all-female Japanese Steampunk-styled Metal band). Have a nice time and keep on rockin'!
@@jawosammadennhier7062 I can get on board with that 😉 Throw in some Hanabie, Wintersun, Unleash the Archers, Arch Enemy and Bloodywood there. Also as a recommendation for The real McCoy here 😄
Sadly this was the last year of their part founder member Bass player left the band. The ladies tried to bring her back now a news bass player and latest song is out now.
You are correct about Lovebites being better than A7X, at least Lovebites consistently makes great music. A7X's latest album is a totally unlistenable mess.

LOVEBITES - Today Is The Day lyrics:
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
What doesn’t stop you makes you wiser
What doesn’t hurt you only means you have fought the pain before
No need to worry about anything
No need to think about it again
No need to fear the failure, never never nevermore
Just cause you breathe, doesn’t mean you’re living
Just cause you hope, doesn’t mean you’re trying
Just cause you try, doesn’t mean you’re right
those who live are those who fight
May it be catastrophe
Once you make your decision
You must go on and never look back again
Day by day
The beginning of infinity
We’ll rise up no matter what with our greatest glory
Today is the day
Live every second like your last
Aiming for the stars above, and higher
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
What doesn’t stop you makes you wiser
What doesn’t hurt you only means you have fought the pain before
May it be catastrophe
Once you make your decision
You must go on and never look back again
Day by day
The beginning of infinity
We’ll rise up no matter what with our greatest glory
Today is the day
Live every second like your last
Aiming for the stars above, and higher

I share, it is their sound, style and compositions that are so special that they captivate, the best I have heard
Some people say that brutality has never been so gorgeous. I really love Asami’s smile while playing the piano. This is another excellent song by amazing Lovebites.
I’m moved by them、everytime I listen to LOVEBITES‼️．
the term "once in a lifetime band" for lovebites is correct for me.
Let’s talk about Asami’s smile at the beginning. It resonates with your soul. As Midori’s one in the Shadownmaker video. This band just transcends Music 🤘🏻🐺
Love,love the solos of M&M, and Asami’s smile, both are face melting 🐺🔥
"Once in a lifetime group" I completely agree. They remind me of how I felt when I first heard Cream.
... and me "Iron Maiden" - when I discovered them in the 1980s. Without wanting to compare both bands. Both bands have different forte's, and different approaches, despite delivering excellent Metal. I just mean the innovative and demanding approach, when they appeared on the scene.

I'm waiting for him to find videos of Lovebites dressed in black dresses 😂

Yes..that true...❤️❤️❤️💥💥💥 LOVEBITES it's a band great is this decade.band next future is are success fully.all them are talented...

Of course, they are the true best metal band. Yes, no bad songs, multi talented. feminism white dress that brightens up the metal world with beautiful adrenalin music+melodic voice. Thanks bro👍🤘
beautiful pregnant Miyako

I have Tix to see them in Atlanta next year and hoping they add some more dates as well.
See you in Atlanta. I’m 74 and can’t get enough of 12:57 these ladies. Found them 3 years ago and they renewed my love of music.
As with all the videos from this concert, just remember, Miako has a 3 or 4 month 'Baby bump' rocking out inside her behind that guitar.. So you will notice that for a 2 hour concert she is wearing flat shoes & not the normal high heels. Great reaction man.
I've grown up with all the big bands right back from the early 70's. These women are my favorite now. They have the ability to make my eyes weep just from the sheer pride I have for them.

Thanks for reacting to this song, it doesn't get the recognition it deserves, one of my favorites, and Asami's vocals are some of her best.
ドレスを着て美しくもエレガントに、ゴージャスにメタルを演奏する姿は、目にも耳にも優しいです。
🐺🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Love Lovebites.
Awesome genuine reaction as always! We, the Wolfpack, appreciate you 🙏. I really think it's time for you to do some LoveBites music videos. It will show different perspectives of these insanely talented ladies. I recommend Rising, Shadowmaker, When Destinies Align. Rock on 🤘 and peace ✌️ bro...
Lovebites are so magnetic. How much more can we say. They should be headlining every metal venue. Xxx
You can be sure, Avenged Sevenfold is no stranger to LOVEBITES. IIRC, Midori even named them in her top 5 guitarist list...
Wonderful women, fantastic band. Tremendous quality, elegance, class and beauty, all in one.
Each song is a different world, without losing the essence of heavy metal, and in this case it is Asami's dazzling beauty, her perfect voice, which stands out above her wonderful companions.
Yeah this one is going on my list. That riff is powerful, and of course with those signature guitar solos to go with it.
Just another day at the office for these Metal Queens 🤘
I haven't watched this one for a while - thanks for reminding me how good it is. Mind you I say that about most of their songs if I haven't seen it for a few weeks. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Superb, as usual! The second verse of the song really pokes you in the chest, but delivered with that smile that makes you say, Yes Asami, I can!!!
glad you chose this amazing song - very few reactions to it and the solos are some of their best. plus asami on the keys - you just can't lose with LOVEBITES. no flak from this corner - imo they are better than everybody. all put together !
How about the "Little Big Engine" on this. She's a runaway train. And she finds time to mess around with stick twirling at this speed. Total bad-ass!
🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺💪🤘🤘🤘🤘 WOW! Just noticed the 16" splash on Harunas left is perforated with a star shape...
That song / arrangement / vibe is sooo "Iron Maiden"-like in my opinion (in the best way, of course!), from beginning to the end. Maybe similar to the song "Stratego" (album "Senjutsu")? That is meant as a praise, for Iron Maiden, Lovebites and Nemophila are my personal favorite Metal bands.
🇯🇵日本から、ありがとう🤘🐺🤘
yep just like you said "a once in a lifetime band" ... nothing else to say !!!

Almost agreed. Lovebites, Nemophila, and Iron Maiden. (For me.) ;-)
@@jawosammadennhier7062 I can get on board with that 😉
Throw in some Hanabie, Wintersun, Unleash the Archers, Arch Enemy and Bloodywood there. Also as a recommendation for The real McCoy here 😄
One of my favorite LB song 🤘🏻🐺🤘🏻
I'd rather hear Lovebites live in hell than hear birds chirping in paradise. 🥰
My Favorite of all thier song .. Especially Miyako Solo and Asami voice and smile 🥰🥰
Love miyako so much shes so good
🤘🏽LOVEBITES RULES🤘🏽
Sadly this was the last year of their part founder member Bass player left the band. The ladies tried to bring her back now a news bass player and latest song is out now.
