Another thing to know about Miyako is that she was 4 to 5 months pregnant during this live show and the played 18 songs for about 2 hours of pure awesomeness
Easily the most emotional performance of a metal song I've ever heard. The first time I heard it, I knew immediately that these women were not just special, but transcendental talents that immediately became my favorite band. Even Midori, who provided the acoustic support during Miyako's piano and Asami's dance, showed more deep emotion than I've ever seen from her. After Asami sang the last line "If only I could wish to see you once more", the look on her face afterwards as she looked to the audience quite simply, and totally, crushed my heart. And the invisible 6th member trying to hide in Miyako's belly...damn...what can't they do?!? And keep your eyes on Haruna behind that drum kit. She continues to get better and better, as if that were even possible. Probably the band member I'd most like to get to know, as I find her to be such an enigma; but a total delight to watch. And Fami joining the band 2 years ago (replacing co-founder Miho on bass) is joy personified, providing a real shot of adrenaline to the band with her drive and personality. Hold on tight, Bro, and enjoy the ride!
I'm still in shock about this band.. Thank you for expressing your feelings towards this band. They are simply incredible! That acoustic support Midori did just took me to another place
LOVEBITES - A Frozen Serenade lyrics & credits: Crystal tears Falling from the skies Veiling fears The emptiness inside Time is just passing by Killing me under the soft twilight A frozen melody Of doves and ravens dancing in melancholy A distant memory If only this snow could erase the pain I'd wake up in a serenade One life ends And one life begins Evanesce To our origins When I'm lost on my way Lead my heart and guide me with your grace A frozen melody Of doves and ravens dancing in melancholy A distant memory If only this snow could erase the pain I'd wake up in a serenade Just like a dream, just like a bird I'll keep on singing out Even if my voice cannot reach you Seasons may pass, but its beauty will never fade away All living things are precious and irreplaceable Just like a dream, just like a bird I'll keep on singing out Even if my voice cannot reach you White butterflies are fluttering under the silver sky If only I could wish to see you once more ----- lyrics: asami music: asami & Mao arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) & Mao album: Electric Pentagram 01/29/2020 -----
Lovebites always dresses in white when on stage. It is their signature costume to be opposite of all the other metal bands who only wear black. When they first started back in 2017 they all wore high heels, but after the first two years only Midori and Asami still wore the high heels. Although that recently changed too, because during their most recent world tour Midori switched to high top sneakers. Now only Asami wears high heels when performing on stage. They wear heels during the photo shoots.
A masterpiece in musicianship and performance art, captivating and unique both audio wise and visual. So much talent between them it's crazy to think about. I love these ladies sooo much, they never ever disappoint.🤘🎤🎸🎹🥁🐺
do you know miyako Guitarist on the right? she was 4 or 5 months pregnant and performed with perfect skill standing for 2 hours and only occasionally sitting on the piano bench in consert. she is the coolest female musician beyond anything I ever imagined.
The white dress is LOVEBITES' trademark. As a rule, they redesign their dresses every year. So if we watch their live videos carefully, we can tell what year the performance was performed. ---------- from Nippon *This text was translated using Google Translate. I hope I have conveyed the correct meaning.
Fun fact: I think this is the show where Miyako was second or third term pregnant. Just Wow! That's why she is wearing the long dress and not moving around too much. But that didn't stop her from being absolutely amazing! Love this band!
Lovebites the musicians who wear their femininity proudly yet turn into Metal Goddesses on stage. Miyako was even 4/5 months pregnant here and yet went full tilt with the rest of the band. Always a surprise but never a disappoint especially LIVE. Midori goes "Miyako" on the acoustic before reverting to the Shred Queen she is. Asami really belts out a great bluesy song over the music behind her.
Many of LOVEBITES' songs are played at super high speeds. That is the band's characteristic and a high point of appreciation. However, LOVEBITES' repertoire also includes many relatively slow ballad-like songs (for LOVEBITES), such as this song. For example, Edge Of The World, EPILOGUE, EMPTY DAYDREAM (commonly known as the three E's), etc. Interestingly, I notice that many of these "slow songs" are considered LOVEBITES masterpieces. This seems to be proof that the real value of this band is not in their ability to play at high speeds, but in their ability to create great melodies. --------- from Nippon *This is a text translated using Google Translate. I hope I have conveyed my intention correctly.
Fun fact: Miyako (the black hair guitarrist) on this show has 5 months of pregnancy 🤯 that's why she is not using hills here Ps. Haruna (the Drumer) on the last ride cymbal part, she is doing full triplets, that's why souds "off tempo"
This is also a song I keep returning to as well. Composition & arrangement are just so good. If you have a chance, though, find the studio version and listen through that. There is one part that I liked in the studio recording better than this live version is in the last 8 measures with Midori, then Miyako joins in in playing those arpeggios. The studio recording had the guitar volumes more even between the two guitars, and you hear the arpeggios swimming just underneath the surface. In this live version, Miyako's guitar is much louder, and you really can't hear Midori's part too well. But overall, this is just a master Jedi level performance.
Lots of good bands in Japan, male and female, unfortunately, depending on musical choice it can only go downhill after Lovebites, they are imho, the top of the tree, they have taken what is great about rock music, added the secret sauce and created magic.
This song is from "Heavy metal never dies - Live in Tokyo 2021", concert held on March 26 at Tokyo Dome City. Available in digital, cd, dvd and blu ray format. They did this concert under severe restrictions because of the covid. So the crowd can only clap and the capacity was only 50%. Please subscribe to their channel The setlist is: 01. Ride For Vengeance (Intro) 02. When Destinies Align 03. The Crusade 04. Golden Destination 05. Set The World On Fire (*) 06. Shadowmaker 07. Today Is The Day (*) 08. Winds Of Transylvania (*) 09.

Under The Red Sky ( * Live first performance)
I am still in awe of this performance, it is my favorite from LOVEBITES, and you will enjoy this many many more times. 🤘🐺🤘 For other Japanese bands to try out, I suggest Aldious, Hagane, Mary's Blood, ArkRoyal, Lonesome Blue, Trident, and Mellows just as a few samples, there is so much more. For something really out there, try out OTYKEN, from Siberia. For a good band out of Italy, try out Frozen Crown.
Who said you couldn't put classical piano and guitar with metal and throw in a bit of ballet. And yes they're in heels except the drummer and Miyako this time as she was 4 and a half months pregnant. Great reaction BTW. 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I suggest you some less known but amazing songs of Lovebites: "Today is the day", "Signs of deliverance" and "Empty daydream". In these songs you can listen to the most wild and insane guitar solo by Miyako and Midori and a phenomenal drums work by Haruna......
Great reaction, thanks. You haven't react to E songs (3 songs title beginning with "E"). I recommend "Epilogue" next, where both Miyako and Midori plays acoustic guitars + piano by Midori.
How metal is a pregnant woman in her second trimester playing piano and wearing a guitar around her shoulder? Pretty Effing Metal if you ask me. I checked and you haven't checked out Aldious, 1 of the 2 bands that were the start of the surge of the all female band scene in Japan, other band is Destrose Aldious Dominator live and Destrose Maze live would be my 2 recommendations for now There are so many bands in Japan, over 100 all female ones just for Metal plus just as many men only and there are some with men and women like Unlucky Morpheus. With 1 new band per week, I expect you will catch up to the ones I know around 2040 but I keep finding new ones LOL
I was seriously shocked that she was pregnant at that time. Insanely metal lol and as long as i get to keep reacting to more awesome bands, I'm down!! haha
Yes Haruna , Queen Of Cymbals ! Why not see the fun side of Lovebites. "Raise Some Hell " live , suggest subtitles , tongue in cheek lyrics available too.
LOVEBITES is by far my favorite of all the japanese female bands. but there are many more that are so good that need to be recognized and one of them is HAGANE. they recently reformed with 2 new members after a very short hiatus and are poised for greatness. here is a link for their mv 'tenka goken '. - in english 'the 5 swords of japan. : th-cam.com/video/GhMamN_DBO4/w-d-xo.html
A suggestion for another band. I recommend you listen to the band Epica from the Netherlands. They're a symphonic metal band with death metal and prog influences. A similar song to this would be Once Upon a Nightmare from the Omega Alive show. It's worth listening to .
If you want other Japanese bands and you're serious about checking them out, I recommend the following: Hagane - Tenka Goken East of Eden - Evolve Extended Version Unlucky Morpheus - Black Pentagram Aldious - Luft Music Video *Re-Upload Bridear - Ignite Music Video Mary's Blood - Starlight English Lyrics
@@inalectexperiences I do not recommend any except LOVEBITES, but you can choose any band that you want. Maybe Aldious but I think they are not active now.
This band is really unfair, because it has 2 equally great guitarists of course with classic piano skills who can't be doubted, a crazy drummer who makes playing seem easy, a talented young bassist and angelic vocals. It would be difficult to cover their songs equally well. Honestly, this is very intimidating for me as a man who has been involved in bands as an amateur. 😅 I have known Lovebites since 3 or 4 years ago, it revived my taste in music which had previously stopped.
Yea i get that, I'm just grateful that my reactions are getting some views and even some likes. I always try to look at the positive side of things, but I understand. Thank you!
Another thing to know about Miyako is that she was 4 to 5 months pregnant during this live show and the played 18 songs for about 2 hours of pure awesomeness
🤯you're kidding?! That is DEDICATION! 🤘
Great reaction ! This song is an epic masterpiece and it truly showcases just how talented this whole band is.
Yes agreed! Thank you! 🤘

LOVEBITES - A Frozen Serenade lyrics & credits:
Crystal tears Falling from the skies
Veiling fears The emptiness inside
Time is just passing by
Killing me under the soft twilight
A frozen melody
Of doves and ravens dancing in melancholy
A distant memory
If only this snow could erase the pain
I'd wake up in a serenade
One life ends
And one life begins
Evanesce
To our origins
When I'm lost on my way
Lead my heart and guide me with your grace
A frozen melody
Of doves and ravens dancing in melancholy
A distant memory
If only this snow could erase the pain
I'd wake up in a serenade
Just like a dream, just like a bird
I'll keep on singing out
Even if my voice cannot reach you
Seasons may pass, but its beauty will never fade away
All living things are precious and irreplaceable
Just like a dream, just like a bird
I'll keep on singing out
Even if my voice cannot reach you
White butterflies are fluttering under the silver sky
If only I could wish to see you once more

Yes! Completely agree. Although I do really enjoy the fast pace, my guilty pleasure is the slow balled like songs lol
This is one of their best masterpieces. Don't worry they have more masterpieces. 😅
👍👍Awesome performance. LOVEBITES 🔥🔥🔥🔥. 🖖❤
Epic Masterpiece - absolutely one of their best.
Midori💚💚💚💚💚 Miho💜💜💜💜💜

Ps. Haruna (the Drumer) on the last ride cymbal part, she is doing full triplets, that's why souds "off tempo"
Yea Miyako is simply amazing! Haruna's ride cymbal part was so satisfying for me since It was odd hearing it the first time but i loved it.
