I suggest Lovebites "Epilogue" ballad live Tokyo 2019 and "Edge Of The World" live Tokyo 2020 together with Swan Song and Frozen Serenade they comprise 4th mega masterpieces of Ladies. Great reaction.
That song is a monster to intro themj. they are so diverse LOVEBITES are their pwn genre. If you want to go 180-degrees.. my request is "RISING" acoustic version.. Only ASAMI and MIYAKO.. IT PUTS ME IN TEARS EVERYTIME..
What a beautiful reaction!!! Thank you! I think that Gary Moore should be proud listening Miyako solo…same guitar, same feelings, same shivers…LOVEBITES are awesome!
When I saw this pop up, I knew we were in for an interesting analysis, not just a "reaction". This is the best pair of contrasting solos I've ever heard on one song (and I go back to Allman/Clapton etc.) Thanks for coming back to Lovebites. Subscribed.
A near century experience of especially western music being listened and watched from simple Orchestras to famous instrumental group's to Heavy Metal Band's and pop music groups.That's the results how these ladies had reached to monstrous abilities playing music now.

Oh, believe me, we love & appreciate, " The Crazy Shredder ! " It's the contrast in styles & the ability to then blend & harmonize that makes a Great guitar duo !!! ❤️🎙🎸🎹🥁😎🤘
I just love these ladies, and this is one of their best thrash metal songs (IMHO)! Midori always amazes me with her technical ability but Miyako touches my heartstrings with her blues influenced solos!! All 5 ladies really shine on this one and I'm really pleased that you recognize how special they all are! If/when you listen to this again, take note of what sounds like 'old school' Hammond organ in the background, right after Miyko's solo.... a really creative addition! Cheers for an awesome 2023, Bob!
Just a little nugget, to toast your noodle.if you haven't been told. Both Guitar self taught. MIDORI picked up guitar At 20. MIYAKO is a world class concert pianist, picked up guitar @ 17 . Turn guitar neck horizontal and Viola piano keys. all things relative, in guitar years both are still pre middle school. MUCH 💓 from WOLFPACK 🐺🇵🇱 POLAND.
MIDORI makes you want to go crazy when she shreds, and MIYAKO makes you want to cry when she channels GARY MOORE. Try the live versions of SWAN SONG (with Chopin intro), SET THE WORLD ON FIRE, and RAISE SOME HELL, and the first MV for their new album, JUDGEMENT DAY.
The singer is Asami, who also the primary lyricist. Studied Ballet most of her life, but there isn't much call for 4'10" ballerinas. So she became atop flight singer.
Break the Wall....at the top right on and still at the top for me.🤘 Miho....Bassist and the leader of the pack Midori....Blonde guitarist Miyako...Dark haired guitarist Haruna ....Drummer and what a drummer she is Asami...Vocalist Break the Wall... Lyrics .................MIHO Composition.....MIHO/ MIYAKO Glory to Lovebites 🤘 🐺🔥🔥🔥🔥👍
Another great reaction, thanks Bob. Lovebites are the real deal, and their fan base are delighted that they are now back from hiatus with new material, and a new bassist, as others have mentioned. You might notice that Japan is leading the revival of rock and metal music of late , and the ladies are to the forefront. Checking your channel listings, I don't think you've covered Band-Maid as yet? Another group of amazingly talented musicians, and a further rabbit hole to explore! Start with Dice (music video or live equally good) and you'll get plenty more suggestions from there on. Cheers, and Happy New Year. (Edit , link to Band-Maid, Dice , live, with bonus track. th-cam.com/video/h_RZwRbI1QI/w-d-xo.html
Hi Hoges! Happy New Year! Thanks for the kind words! I've done a Band-Maid video recently. I hope you had a chance to check it out. I'll add Dice to the list too. Thanks!
I've said it before, I'll say it again and I will probably say it a million times more....Lovebtes, in my humble option, are the gold standard in metal music nowadays. And now with their new bass player, Fami, and listening to their new song, Judgement Day, they may have upped their game.
Thanks for reacting to amazing Lovebites. This is an iconic song by them with two excellent but different styles of guitar playing. Some people say that they’re breaking the walls of stereotypes in the metal scene. My next recommendations are “Shadowmaker”, “The Awakening/Hammer of wrath”, “Raise some hell”, “Don’t bite the dust”, “Scream for me”. All live.
Happy New Year! I wish you a good year. You have done an excellent analysis, as you declared at the end of last year. Thank you very much. I hope that you will continue to do a lot of analysis for LOVEBITES this year.

Break The Wall is easily in my top 10 Lovebites songs but it is now bittersweet listening to it. This was the only song in which Miho and Miyako worked together in the composition. Miho had always composed with Mao (as have Asami and Midori), the "6th member" of the band. Mao is a keyboardist/composer who is one of the two producers of Lovebites and was part of a really good power metal band called Light Bringer. Miyako has never worked with Mao and has always composed alone except for Break The Wall. My understanding is that Miho had the foundation of the song completed but she knew it needed more. She decided to hand the song over to Miyako to finish. The slower section is pure Miyako while the thrash that comprises most of the song is pure Miho. I would imagine Miyako also sprinkled some things throughout such as her guitar that matched Asami's vocals that you mentioned. I am very happy that we have this one collaboration between these two great artists but I do wish we had gotten more. As others have mentioned, you need to hear the new song, Judgment Day, as soon as possible. It is the 5th collaboration between Asami and Mao and although the musicianship is superb, in my opinion, the song belongs to Asami. Her vocals are very strong throughout and absolutely breathtaking at the end.
@@bobcieslinski Fami has her own channel with 600k and more subscribers. There she is uploading bass covers. She start the channel when she was 16. Now she is 20. She is one of the most promising bass playing talents of her age.
Great selection Bob, can't go wrong with Break the Wall, terrific thrash metal song that sounds wonderful! Two brilliant, yet contrasting solos with a great bass transition to connect them. Believe this is your 3rd Lovebites reaction so only another 50 or so to go! 🙂 So many great songs to choose from but I'd be remiss if I didn't mention their newest MV release, Judgement Day th-cam.com/video/m3uGjp-P7DI/w-d-xo.html, which premiered 12/24. Title track to their new album that launches Feb 22nd, featuring new bassist, FAMI! Lovebites lineup: Asami (vo) Fami (bs) - was announced in Oct Haruna (dr) Midori (gt) Miyako (gt) Happy New Year! 🤘🐺 Dave
Great reaction Bob. Happy New Year. I like how you key in on certain elements and explain them for the lay person (not me lol). A couple of thoughts I have with this song. One is Haruna’s playing. I am really hooked on her abilities, her speed and precision at fast tempos. Have you checked out their most recent release, just last week, “Judgement Day?” It is with their new bassist Fami. Fami brings a whole new element to Lovebites with her unique style. It also has Haruna upping her level (if that’s at all possible) because, as you know, the drums and bass really need to lock in and be on the same page to make a band this successful. With Midori’s solo one part that always blows me away is the palm muting she does in the middle of. The speed is crazy. Also when she’s climbing higher and higher with double notes it reminds me of the guitar battle in the movie Crossroads. Check that out, the excerpt is on TH-cam. Anyway, Happy New Year and look forward to a reaction to Judgement Day! Just hinting lol! Btw I have the same headphones as you. 😊
Hey thanks so much for the kind words. Great points and that’s awesome you have those headphones too. They are awesome I love them. I’ll check out the new song. Thanks Enigmaticmisfit!
Awesome, your reactions are always a pleasure to watch. I really appreciate you talk about the musicianship going on in their songs!! 🤘🐺🤘 I dont know much about music theory so your comments are very helpful!! After leader, founder and bassist Miho left the band in 2021 mid-pandemic, Lovebites went into a hiatus of 1 year and have finally announced a new album for Feb and released a brand new song with the new bassist FAMI. Song is Judgement Day and it was worth the wait, the ladies are back in FULL POWER!! Judgement Day brand new song - th-cam.com/video/m3uGjp-P7DI/w-d-xo.html 🤘🐺🤘Thank you!
Former bassist Miho wrote the foundation for my favourite Lovebites Thrash song, "Break The Wall", while Miyako then "added color" to the composition. Miyako wrote the solo in the middle with Gary Moore in mind. From the EP "Battle Against Damnation" Lyrics: Miho Music: Miho and Miyako Arrangement: Miyako/Lovebites
@@bobcieslinski Bob, if for some strange reason you don't know who Gary Moore is, I highly suggest you look him up....maybe a reaction to one of his legendary songs, like Still Got The Blues (for you)! Cheers!
What an excellent breakdown of what this song has to offer. Thanks for returning to LOVEBITES! I see everyone has recommended their new song, and I agree with that recommendation, but I'd like to recommend another great Japanese band. They're called the Wagakki Band, and there's truly no one out there like them. The video I'm going to recommend is for "Homura + Akatsuki no Ito" from their first Japanese tour in 2015. This live video has been uploaded to a fan channel for around 2 years now and has over thirteen million views. I'd love to hear your take on Wagakki Band! th-cam.com/video/ponTbDDMYjw/w-d-xo.html
Hi Bob, Here are some new links for some groups you should listen to..."beautiful harmonizations": 1) Super Vocal Boys & Dimash doing a Queen medley (The video has a Dimash filter on it, but you can still see them) th-cam.com/video/f3nklZEstm0/w-d-xo.html 2) Forestella doing a Queen medley, the video is a bit long, but worth every minute th-cam.com/video/k5Aw88-sVZA/w-d-xo.html 3) Super Vocal Boys singing Sound of Silence th-cam.com/video/x6-2ER1IVzo/w-d-xo.html 4) A solo performance from one of the guys from Forestella singing Phantom of the Opera ( he does both the male & female part) th-cam.com/video/RUoe1e1nsnQ/w-d-xo.html
@@bobcieslinski Loved your band pic you posted. Good teacher!!!! 😊 My 20 year old died on 12/10/23. I feel very sad. Miss him terribly. I would love for you to react to any request I sent you. That would help cheer me up greatly.
@@mayrarisch8893 oh my goodness Mayra. That is terrible news. I am so sorry to hear this. As a parent myself with a 23 year old and 20 year old, it brings a tear to my eye to hear this news. Pick your favorite request and I'll bump that one to the top. Just reply cause I'll be looking for it!
@@bobcieslinski Oh my god! Forgive me Bob! I just noticed I left the word "dog" out. 20 year old dog died. But in honestly, he was my baby. Sorry, I did not mean to mislead you. As you can see, my mind is somewhere else. But if you are still wanting to cheer me up, please react to Dimash Across Endless Dimensions or Diana Wicked Game. I'm sorry again for the typo. Music can always cheer me up.
Gotta admit I've never been much of a metal fan (the drumming usually gives me a headache :D ) but every Lovebites song I've heard has been, just... WOW. :D Why does Japan get all the good musicians these days? :D
Can't hear as well in this version but note how Haruna, during the verse, plays flurries of the bass drum. She is IMHO the more master of her instrument than the others. You have already done Swan Song which is a tour de force of hers, but check out Judgement Day
The most common degree of pitch bending on a guitar is a full tone. Many notes are pre-bent, or aren't picked until the bend is complete, so it just sounds like there is an up-scoop at the beginning of the note. The fretboards of different guitar makes have different lengths which determines the string tension. When he was with Cream in 1968 Eric Clapton would often stretch 2 full tones but when he switched from a Gibson guitar to a Fender, which has a longer string length, and higher tension, you didn't hear him do that anymore.
Thank you for reacting to LOVEBITES! I love your reaction. Please keep reaction to LOVEBITES. I recommend "epilogue" and "Edge of The World" if you like ballads. from Japan🇯🇵
You are behind the curve, Lovebites just dropped they new MV "Judgement Day" with their new bassist, Fami!!! I suggest a Fami video first as an introduction. "Don't say Lazy" shows how talented she is, or "Alien Alien" live - makes it obvious why she was chosen as their bassist.
Bob, great and excellent analysis and explanation again. Did you try their new song with the new bassist dropped for Christmas? Judgement Day th-cam.com/video/m3uGjp-P7DI/w-d-xo.html is another level, just an amazing performance. Their new bassist is even younger, 20 years old. This clip is a little work from three years ago when she was a high school girl. You can tell how talented she is and why they chose her for their bassist. th-cam.com/video/Q_UqztwYAOU/w-d-xo.html
Hey Bob.. Welcome back, it's been too long.. They have released the first song off their new album with the new bass player Fami.. 16 month break after Miho left :( but it would appear Fami will be a great fit.. Check out her cover of Alien alien, I don't think you have seen a 17 year old abuse a bass guitar like this.. Lol, she is off the chain. th-cam.com/video/Q_UqztwYAOU/w-d-xo.html With her style she should bring a whole new side to Lovebites already awesome style and class.. There is so much going on in Japan at the moment.. Nemophila have just released a new album called Seize the fate and it is crazy good Check out Raitei th-cam.com/video/lh-dVLKP314/w-d-xo.html They to have very good twin leads, great Bass and rythm (known as Laughing thunder) and a very versitile charismatic singer.. I think you are going to really enjoy them.. Looking forward to your next reaction.. Best wishes from France..
Hi Grant! Thanks so much for giving me the suggestions! Sorry it took so long but I needed to get to a point where I could copy this to have for future reference. It's great hearing from you again!

That song is a monster to intro themj. they are so diverse LOVEBITES are their pwn genre. If you want to go 180-degrees.. my request is "RISING" acoustic version.. Only ASAMI and MIYAKO.. IT PUTS ME IN TEARS EVERYTIME..

Its so cool to have a reactor who knows what he is talking about,fantastic job for a fantastic band.

What a beautiful reaction!!! Thank you! I think that Gary Moore should be proud listening Miyako solo…same guitar, same feelings, same shivers…LOVEBITES are awesome!
Thanks Gabry! These ladies are amazing!
My favorite thrash song.
When I saw this pop up, I knew we were in for an interesting analysis, not just a "reaction". This is the best pair of contrasting solos I've ever heard on one song (and I go back to Allman/Clapton etc.) Thanks for coming back to Lovebites. Subscribed.
Thanks for the kind words Hiawatha! I’ll be back for more for sure. These ladies a special.
During Miyako's solo watch how fast her left hand moves up and down the fret board, Light speed. The singers name is Asami
Thanks Mr.Ed for the info and points.
I want Bob to react to all Lovebites live songs now. This dude knows music. Keep them coming bro. This was amazing-great reaction

LOVEBITES - Break The Wall lyrics:
(DIE) No sign of my time
Cause I wish to live another life
(BY) Who will save my poor soul?
Crying alone in a dim hole
(MY) Can't believe it's real
Cause in the end, everything is gone
(SIDE) How should I live from now?
Find myself staring at the walls
Tonight, I'll break the wall
It's now or never
Now, I'm on my own
I've gotta get free
Bite, I'll break the chain
Run to my shelter
Make it out alive
I have to break through the wall
(DIE)
No sign of my crime
Got my scars during wartime
(BY)
Who's the one that did it
Deadly venom eating me inside
(MY)
Spent my life in vain
I can't forget everything I've done
(SIDE)
I swear to my hatred
Find myself staring at the walls
Tonight, I'll break the wall
It's now or never
Now, I'm on my own
I've gotta get free
Bite, I'll break the chain
Run to my shelter
Make it out alive
I have to break through the wall
SOLO: midori / miyako
(DIE)
No sign of my time
Cause I wish to live another life

How should I live from now?
Find myself staring at the walls
Tonight, I'll break the wall

Thanks Milos!
This song is Midori all day.
Great reaction Bob. Happy New Year. I like how you key in on certain elements and explain them for the lay person (not me lol).
A couple of thoughts I have with this song. One is Haruna’s playing. I am really hooked on her abilities, her speed and precision at fast tempos. Have you checked out their most recent release, just last week, “Judgement Day?” It is with their new bassist Fami. Fami brings a whole new element to Lovebites with her unique style. It also has Haruna upping her level (if that’s at all possible) because, as you know, the drums and bass really need to lock in and be on the same page to make a band this successful.
With Midori’s solo one part that always blows me away is the palm muting she does in the middle of. The speed is crazy. Also when she’s climbing higher and higher with double notes it reminds me of the guitar battle in the movie Crossroads. Check that out, the excerpt is on TH-cam.
Anyway, Happy New Year and look forward to a reaction to Judgement Day! Just hinting lol!
Btw I have the same headphones as you. 😊
Hey thanks so much for the kind words. Great points and that’s awesome you have those headphones too. They are awesome I love them. I’ll check out the new song. Thanks Enigmaticmisfit!
Awesome, your reactions are always a pleasure to watch. I really appreciate you talk about the musicianship going on in their songs!! 🤘🐺🤘
I dont know much about music theory so your comments are very helpful!! After leader, founder and bassist Miho left the band in 2021 mid-pandemic, Lovebites went into a hiatus of 1 year and have finally announced a new album for Feb and released a brand new song with the new bassist FAMI. Song is Judgement Day and it was worth the wait, the ladies are back in FULL POWER!!
Judgement Day brand new song - th-cam.com/video/m3uGjp-P7DI/w-d-xo.html 🤘🐺🤘Thank you!
Thanks so much Jorge for the kind words. I really appreciate them! I’ll add that to the list. Thanks!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Former bassist Miho wrote the foundation for my favourite Lovebites Thrash song, "Break The Wall", while Miyako then "added color" to the composition. Miyako wrote the solo in the middle with Gary Moore in mind.
From the EP "Battle Against Damnation"
Lyrics: Miho
Music: Miho and Miyako
Arrangement: Miyako/Lovebites
Thanks for thr awesome info!
@@bobcieslinski Bob, if for some strange reason you don't know who Gary Moore is, I highly suggest you look him up....maybe a reaction to one of his legendary songs, like Still Got The Blues (for you)! Cheers!
What an excellent breakdown of what this song has to offer. Thanks for returning to LOVEBITES! I see everyone has recommended their new song, and I agree with that recommendation, but I'd like to recommend another great Japanese band. They're called the Wagakki Band, and there's truly no one out there like them. The video I'm going to recommend is for "Homura + Akatsuki no Ito" from their first Japanese tour in 2015. This live video has been uploaded to a fan channel for around 2 years now and has over thirteen million views. I'd love to hear your take on Wagakki Band!

Thanks Pale Horse for the suggestion! Sorry it took so long to get back to you.
Me before first time hearing Lovebites: OK, another japan band making manga songs....
Me after first time hearing Lovebites: 😱😱😱😈😈😈😍😍😍....
🤘🐺💖👸🤘🔆 *LOVEBITES* 🔆
Miho,s bass sound reminds me of old Voi Vod or Sodom , KILLER !!!!!
Hi Bob, Here are some new links for some groups you should listen to..."beautiful harmonizations":
1) Super Vocal Boys & Dimash doing a Queen medley (The video has a Dimash filter on it, but you can still see them)
th-cam.com/video/f3nklZEstm0/w-d-xo.html
2) Forestella doing a Queen medley, the video is a bit long, but worth every minute

3) Super Vocal Boys singing Sound of Silence

Thanks for the list Mayra! I'll check them out thanks! Good to hear from you again!
@@bobcieslinski Loved your band pic you posted. Good teacher!!!! 😊 My 20 year old died on 12/10/23. I feel very sad. Miss him terribly. I would love for you to react to any request I sent you. That would help cheer me up greatly.
@@mayrarisch8893 oh my goodness Mayra. That is terrible news. I am so sorry to hear this. As a parent myself with a 23 year old and 20 year old, it brings a tear to my eye to hear this news. Pick your favorite request and I'll bump that one to the top. Just reply cause I'll be looking for it!
@@bobcieslinski Oh my god! Forgive me Bob! I just noticed I left the word "dog" out. 20 year old dog died. But in honestly, he was my baby. Sorry, I did not mean to mislead you. As you can see, my mind is somewhere else. But if you are still wanting to cheer me up, please react to Dimash Across Endless Dimensions or Diana Wicked Game. I'm sorry again for the typo. Music can always cheer me up.
@@mayrarisch8893 no problem. Both can be a horrible loss. I’ve lost 2 dogs myself.
Gotta admit I've never been much of a metal fan (the drumming usually gives me a headache :D ) but every Lovebites song I've heard has been, just... WOW. :D Why does Japan get all the good musicians these days? :D
I’m with you on this one.
This is one of my top 50+ LOVEBITES playlist.
Can't hear as well in this version but note how Haruna, during the verse, plays flurries of the bass drum. She is IMHO the more master of her instrument than the others. You have already done Swan Song which is a tour de force of hers, but check out Judgement Day
The most common degree of pitch bending on a guitar is a full tone. Many notes are pre-bent, or aren't picked until the bend is complete, so it just sounds like there is an up-scoop at the beginning of the note. The fretboards of different guitar makes have different lengths which determines the string tension. When he was with Cream in 1968 Eric Clapton would often stretch 2 full tones but when he switched from a Gibson guitar to a Fender, which has a longer string length, and higher tension, you didn't hear him do that anymore.
Thank you for reacting to LOVEBITES! I love your reaction. Please keep reaction to LOVEBITES. I recommend "epilogue" and "Edge of The World" if you like ballads.
from Japan🇯🇵
Thanks for the kind words and suggestions Marino!
😁
🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺
You are behind the curve, Lovebites just dropped they new MV "Judgement Day" with their new bassist, Fami!!! I suggest a Fami video first as an introduction. "Don't say Lazy" shows how talented she is, or "Alien Alien" live - makes it obvious why she was chosen as their bassist.
Sounds good thanks!
Great reaction,thx ! Listen new song Judgement day also amazing !
Thanks !
I would like to see this group attract a younger fan base
I have a feeling a lot of the fan base are old metal connoisseurs like myself
You might be right but their audiences seem young too.
Asami is the vocalist...
Thanks Rex!
Bro, their new Album song Judgement Day MV with new 20yr/o girl bassist Fami, check Fami channel and watch her play bass and do bass cover....
Wait till you hear Judgment Day
Can’t wait it’s in thr list.
React a 2022 em uma musica by lucas inutilismo
gotta follow ,next up judgement day
Thanks Stephen!
Sadly their bassist left the band.
Yep but this new lady Fami is pretty awesome.
@Bob Cieslinski yes. She seems very good. Just sad when original members leave. Even if the new person is better its still not the same.
@@porsche9302 I totally get it. It was the same with me and Van Halen.
Bob, great and excellent analysis and explanation again. Did you try their new song with the new bassist dropped for Christmas? Judgement Day th-cam.com/video/m3uGjp-P7DI/w-d-xo.html is another level, just an amazing performance. Their new bassist is even younger, 20 years old. This clip is a little work from three years ago when she was a high school girl. You can tell how talented she is and why they chose her for their bassist. th-cam.com/video/Q_UqztwYAOU/w-d-xo.html
Thanks gatograto for thr kind words and suggestions!
Hey Bob.. Welcome back, it's been too long.. They have released the first song off their new album with the new bass player Fami.. 16 month break after Miho left :( but it would appear Fami will be a great fit.. Check out her cover of Alien alien, I don't think you have seen a 17 year old abuse a bass guitar like this.. Lol, she is off the chain. th-cam.com/video/Q_UqztwYAOU/w-d-xo.html
With her style she should bring a whole new side to Lovebites already awesome style and class..
There is so much going on in Japan at the moment..
Nemophila have just released a new album called Seize the fate and it is crazy good Check out Raitei th-cam.com/video/lh-dVLKP314/w-d-xo.html They to have very good twin leads, great Bass and rythm (known as Laughing thunder) and a very versitile charismatic singer.. I think you are going to really enjoy them..
Looking forward to your next reaction.. Best wishes from France..
Hi Grant! Thanks so much for giving me the suggestions! Sorry it took so long but I needed to get to a point where I could copy this to have for future reference. It's great hearing from you again!
@@bobcieslinski Thanks Bob.. Pick anything from Lovebites, it's all good.. Rising, the live version is awesome, musically and the message is very uplifting put on the closed captions..
Listen to Holy War
It’s okay but not humming type of music!😮
No not really Dixie.
