  • Night 3 brings us to Japan and Lovebites. I wanted to focus on the guitar work however then the vocals jump to the fore, then the drums etc. Loved the time we have spent listening to them so far so wanted to make sure they featured in the celebration. More coming soon as well I promise.

    The crowd in this wasn't able to go nuts, because there were the most strict Covid-19 restrictions on this concert. It was postponed from January to March 2021, and the audience, who was heavily reduced, wasn't allowed to do more than polite applause, especially no screaming and no dancing. So this is more a Covid culture than a Japanese culture thing...

    • @PopCultureProductions
      @PopCultureProductions  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +12

      I'd forgotten that crowd restrictions were in place during COVID. Some times it seems so far away.

  • @hiawatha.g

    The subdued audience reaction was largely due to the COVID restrictions--no screaming or shouting, and people seated in alternate seats. Japanese crowds can go plenty crazy if you give them a chance.

    • @PopCultureProductions
      @PopCultureProductions  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      Now you say that it reminds me of the restrictions that were in place. I totally forgot about them. My experience/knowledge of them only really come from watching New Japan Pro wrestling during the period. Thanks for the reminder though.

    Lovebites is so good that after their songs end you can't help but want more. They make it so hard to wait.

      I must admit I felt the same after this. If we didn't have other videos to record I think it would have been the rest of the evening listening to the whole gig.

    I'm going to follow along while you go thru the albums in order... I want to see at what point you both say " LOVEBITES is the most talented band on earth!" They have over 60 songs that range from hard rock to metal, across the spectrum of metal, they do it all. There are great bands that have five members that are highly talented, but not like this band. Their musical composition/writing is next level. There has never been a band that had two leads that play at this level that are so synchronized. Miyako (musical savant) and Midori play extended harmonized solos that are very hard to play without flaw, I've never seen twin guitars ever pull that off like these ladies do. This band live sounds better than any band I have ever heard. They could play all the songs from the great metal bands, but those same bands would crap themselves trying to master many of the LOVEBITES masterpieces. FYI: They have many awesome songs that are only audio, not video (yet).

    • @rainerzufall42
      @rainerzufall42 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      Because the concert was postponed, it was already 4th or 5th month. Miyako was still able to present a great show though...

    • @PopCultureProductions

    Thank you for the reaction to LOVEBITES.
    Live talk by Asami in their latest live video.
    I think this is true of many of their songs.
    「我々の楽曲はライブにて完成する!」
    「Wareware no gakkyoku wa raibu nite kansei suru!」
    Our music is complete when it's live!"
    P.S.
    At the time of this concert, I was also impressed with Haruna's performance, but on her latest album, her performance has evolved and is phenomenal.
    And her performance is even more evolved in the latest live video.

    LOVEBITES - Shadowmaker lyrics:
    Caught in the noise, my thoughts are destroyed
    Trapped in the silence, it's so hard to breathe
    But still I go on, my hunger is strong
    Hoping that someone will grab my hand
    Stranded by moonlight I realize the cold of this world
    Maybe it's too late?
    No one can save me
    From all of the darkness and solitude
    Cry, like shadows of the night
    I carry all the pain inside to justify why I'm alive
    Despite going through this hell
    Cause still my heart has hope
    No matter if I'm torn apart, I'll play my part
    Before I drown with secret thoughts of my heart
    Reckless and fast, how long will I last?
    Dancing like puppets, I'm empty inside
    Fighting the fear, and grieving the dear
    Hoping that someday I'll be repaid
    Only my echoing heartbeats can prove that I'm here
    Am I all alone?
    Even a faint light is too bright for me, I can't see a thing
    Hide, in shadows I reside
    I tremble like a heartless soul, no place to go
    In desolated land knowing no escape
    But still I wish to live
    Just waiting for a somebody to notice me
    Before I fall down to depths of the abyss
    SOLO: midori / mi-ya / both / miya
    Caught in the noise, my thoughts are destroyed
    Trapped in the silence, it's so hard to breathe
    But still I go on, my hunger is strong
    Hoping that someone will grab my hand
    Stranded by moonlight I realize the cold of this world
    Maybe it's too late?
    No one can save me from solitude
    Cry, like shadows of the night
    I tremble like a heartless soul, no place to go
    In desolated land knowing no escape
    But still I wish to live
    Just waiting for a somebody to notice me
    Before I fall down to depths of the abyss
    Like shadows of the night
    I carry all the pain inside to justify why I'm alive
    Despite going through this hell
    Cause still my heart has hope
    No matter if I'm torn apart, I'll play my part
    Before I drown with secret thoughts of my heart

      Makes sense now and I feel like an idiot for not twigging it during the reaction. It's not like COVID restrictions are so far in the rear view mirror that it is easily forgettable. That being said that is why all those that comment are really appreciated to clarify things like this.

      Yeah a few people pointed that out to us. Didn't even cross my mind when we were reacting to it. Should have twigged it as I even had the context of watching a load of Japanese wrestling during this period so I was aware of the restrictions.

    Put them against ANY band (not just metal) past, present, or future! Now with Fami, they're more EPIC than ever! What a sight to see, jaw-dropping every time and Asami's belts ridiculous. Haruna is the MVP and an absolute machine behind that kit! You have to check out their latest live videos released from Knocking At Heaven's Gate. Will be back for Clockwork Immortality (great album!) reactions! :-)

      I conclude, that you've had a pretty good insight to album versions, especially "Awakening From Abyss", but it's a good thing, that you've reacted to this live version. Usually they are stronger in live performances. The production of their live albums is excellent, as good as studio albums. There are still a lot of gems and masterpieces to explore, I'm a little jealous here! 🤪

    Absolutely unequalled and totally unique. We dont need reactors to tell us that.......right Wolfpack???!!!!
