This video, and all of the reaction videos on this channel, transform the original material from entertainment into a commentary, educational and/or opinion expressing video. The original content that is “reacted” to is analyzed by professional commentators and podcasters, who use the performance to highlight instrumental technique and further discuss song structure etc. In addition, musical theory and style choices are also often analyzed and discussed.
While the video does use the entire song (as things such as instrumental performance and song structure must also be considered), there are many pauses. In addition, often the parts of the original content are played multiple times to examine a particular element of the song being reacted to. During pauses, reactors go into detail on the emotions that are invoked by the song or content, and why or why not they are good, or if they’re particularly difficult. The pauses often last a long time, so much so that this video cannot be considered a replacement for the original material. A link to the original video is always placed in the about section, and viewers are encouraged to watch it without pauses and commentary.
Thank you all for being on this journey with us in discovering what the Japan metal scene has to offer! We have found some incredibly talented bands, and were blown away by how passionate their fanbases are!
LOVEBITES 💯!
👍 LOVEBITES a very strong technical group. A worthy victory!
LOVEBITES Always 🐺 🏴 🤘
LoveBites is a Champion!
To put it bluntly, it is not DragonForce, Iron Maiden, Slayer, Megadeath, Helloween, Metalica, Motorhead, Van Halen, Motley Crue, Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Tchaykovski, List, Dvorak, Bethoven or Mozart etc. only LOVEBITES. ❤ 🎤🥁⭐🎸🎸🎸 🐺😎
They are listened not only by metalheads. Ladies came out of their metal genre and have wider spectrum of fans.
They play Eclectic Metal. It means they blend as the first band in history all kind of metal mainly power and thrash with NWOBHM,
heavy metal, symphonic metal, speed metal,hair metal, hard rock, rock, rock'n'roll, jazz, progressive pieces, funk and even punk. They mix all with classical music using operatic, R&B, soul and gospel skills of vocalist and grand piano and Spanish guitar skills playing. Sometimes they use typical Japanese melodic lines which are included in ENKAs_ melancholy ballads singing by Japanese women. Only their can do it. Obviously they draw a lot from British, German and American metal. All this makes their style unique.
If it comes to DEXCORE the best competitor would be another Japanese band, goddesses of metalcore HANABIE. LOVEBITES plays in another league their own one.
You have barely scratched the surface in terms of what Lovebites can do when it comes to superior composition and musical diversity. Go and listen to the LIVE performances of "A Frozen Serenade", "Edge of the World" and "Swan Song with Chopin intro" (tell me honestly how many bands have Chopin in their LIVE performances ?). After watching these, then you can form a bona fide opinion of this band.
See this is why you should have taken my recommendation and chosen A Frozen Serenade as the last song to react to. It had all kinds of different stuff in it that you haven't seen or heard yet from Lovebites. You probably chose this song because it is the music video with the most views on their channel. All the true Lovebites fans will tell you that Glory to the World is a middle of the road song by Lovebites. A Frozen serenade had a LOT of composition, even though it is more mellow by Lovebites standards. It has piano, acoustic guitar, ballet, progressive changes, etc. You would have enjoyed it much more. Fans consider A Frozen Serenade an epic masterpiece.
DEXCORE is awesome! I love DEXCORE 🤘
LOVEBITES deservedly won. To better understand 'Glory to the World' and why the filming of MV took place in the Christian chapel ('Casa d'Angela' in the Japanese city of Yokohama), ou need to know what this song is dedicated to. And when the song was written (at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic).
Your guest and you (judging by your previous rounds) do not like those metal genres to which the work of LOVEBITES is related. This is not criticism of you or a desire to offend you in any way. This is my opinion after observing your previous reactions. Each person evaluates music based on their musical preferences. LOVEBITES are not your 'cup of tea'. This is a normal situation. That's why the music of LOVEBITES seems boring and monotonous to you. I respect your opinion. And I understand you.
In the same way, I, for example, cannot listen to most of the bands that your guest promotes on his channel. Even though you call them 'real metal'. I've watched the video on SLAM WORLDWIDE several times. In my opinion, most of these bands aim to reproduce a set of heavy sounds that do not fit together. And I can’t listen to this for a long time. There is too much chaos and lack of harmony. But this is my subjective opinion. Sorry for being so frank.🤗
Despite everything, LOVEBITES won the competition that you organized on your channel. 🤘Thank you for expressing your honest opinion.😊
You are of course 100% correct that subjective perference is how people evaluate music. But there is also value in stepping back and evaluating the quality of the musicianship on display irrespective of the particular sub-genre. For me, LOVEBITES constantly display an elite level of musicianship that very few bands could match. I think they are in the top 3 metal bands (in terms of musicianship), alongside Dream Theater and Symphony-X.
@@1970Phoenix Yes! I agree with you!👍 In addition to the high technical level of the members of LOVEBITES, they also demonstrate amazing musicianship and magnificent arrangements of their songs. That is why for 3.5 years LOVEBITES has been #1 on my personal list of favorite bands.
Thanks for the reaction and your defense of your all's version of metal lol., like my son always said to me that I listen to DAD ROCK...(not the bubble gum pop/rapp crap) and metalcore or as I call it VIDEO GAME METAL you kids grew up with should not be compared to as a who's better but as for how metal has become over the years since the 70s and yes its all awesome so I will then say LOVEBITES to me then is DAD ROCK 2.0! So all metal should be appreciated in a world full of taylor swift and fake pop fans! 🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺💪🤘🤘🤘🤘
LOVEBITES are in their own league ! 🤘
If you really are interested in LOVEBITES‘ composing skill level, take your time and listen to this one. It‘s a piano arrangement of the original LOVEBITES song „Addicted“. Both the original and the piano version are written and arranged by Miyako, the dark hair guitarist:
th-cam.com/video/Mq3R3yQpkrU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=dmbUxBlC-Rwpx0mJ
And let me know what your references in music composition are. Where did you get your degree?
Championship? These are work of art, not a boxing match. This is total nonsense. This is not a way to enjoy and treat serious music.
👍
Looks like everyone had their minds made up before the competition started… but Lovebites still won!! They’re THAT good!!
LOVEBITES RULES Japanese metal scene, soon the world's metal scene. Best wishes from Bulgaria, Europe! Cheers, guys!🍻
The correct band won. They earned it fair and square.
Thanks for watching! We appreciate it.
Next try react "Break the wall" or "No time to hesitate" from Lovebites.
See ... even Jesus likes LOVEBITES.
Or start a new religion? LOVEBITE-ism. And the believers called the Wolfpack! 😊
@@davidornberg Lovebites fans more crazy and mental illness than BTS Fans, i admit it. I sometimes scared to argue with them, it just like asking for trouble from Lovebites Fans.
I rarely listen to Polyphia.What they are doing, in my opinion, is more like guitar exercises, or dangerously close to it. But Animals as Leaders is another matter, i have they are in constant rotation. But at the same time, they are still not even close to the Lovebites, who have become a significant part of my musical life along with Dream Theater and Porcupine Tree, and such old bands as King Crimson and Gong, Mahavishnu Orchestra and Return to Forever.
As for the songs presented. It occurred to me that the monotony of Glory To The World, which seems to two reactors, is a typical case of clip thinking, when the human brain is focused on perceiving small fragments of information in time and is not able to cover something longer entirely. In the process of perception, he is forced to break the whole into fragments. At the same time, the next fragment appears to him exactly the same as the previous one. This causes a loss of interest, everything seems boring and ceases to be perceived. In a more pronounced form, this is characteristic of animal thinking. Their perception reaction is very short-lived (only here and now).
The reactors failed to perceive Glory To The World as a whole, for them it is a series of identical fragments. For me, this song represents a single whole: the beginning, the dynamic development - the build-up, the culmination. A magnificent example of composing, arranging and performing.
Dexcore song seems to me typical of the Japanese music scene. For my taste, it would be better without these pop-rock inserts with clean vocals.
I do like "Glory to the World", but for me its about their 37th best song. I'm not sure why you chose this song when they have so many better ones. Perhaps you need to try one of their thrash songs. "Break the Wall" is (in my opinion) one of the best thrash songs ever written th-cam.com/video/5Pc0XK0lNmU/w-d-xo.html. It's as good (and probably better) than anything from Slayer, Anthrax or Testament.
Or how about concert level classical piano (Chopin)? Can you name another metal band on the planet that could play the song in the following link >>> th-cam.com/video/dcMVtrvpJpk/w-d-xo.html
Nightwish, Epica, Deep Purple, Dream Theater,... and especially X Japan.
@@musicaconqueror5477 I would definitely remove Nightwish from this list. They don't have a single musician even remotely close in level. And Epica, too, even though the musicians there are much better than in Nightwish.
And if think about it a little more, none of the listed bands could have played this song. There is only one guitarist in Deep Purple, and he is weaker than any of Lovebites. In Dream Theater, the musicians are better than Lovebites musicians, but there is only one guitarist, and the vocalist does not have enough breath to sing it. X Japan (I've never listened to it) seems to have a classical pianist, but clearly there aren't two guitars of this level.
@@dymyavalor6135 Dream Theater could play it if they are allowed to record guitar onto a track to accompany them live. This would be fair enough because Miyako's piano is on a track while she is on the guitar. (I'm going to ignore vocalists here and focus only on the music). If we are allowing recording onto a track, then I'd also add Symphony-X to the list of metal bands that could probably manage this song.
@@1970Phoenix Well, it would probably look pretty weird.) The soundtrack of the lead guitar throughout the song. I've never seen anything like it.
Thats hard to compare 🥲
Powermetal vs Metalcore
Angel vs devil 🤣
I love them both 💪💪
Yeah these two bands are completely different genres. Which to me means that the results solidifies Lovebites as the champion if fans of the opposite genre chose them over the other.
@@ChadTheDragonLord yea that's what I mean:)
Lovebites all the way. Would have been much better to do a liver performance from them though. That's where they truly shine, and where some bands don't.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but implying that only people with limited taste in metal would listen to Lovebites is complete nonsense. I personally listen to most styles of metal (death, power, heavy, doom, black etc.) and I like Lovebites just as much as I like Archspire or Death. And I'm most definitely not unique in that aspect. I also like Dexcore quite a bit for that matter. But I agree that both Lovebites and Dexcore have better songs than the ones showcased here. Lovebites songs such as A Frozen Serenade or Puppet on Strings are also quite emotional.
i adore DEXCORE, but that definitely not their strongest. agree on the snare bomb overuse. theyre so different in style but LOVEBITES was super consistent^^
Purely on the fact that Asami does sound like she's trying to tear her throat apart makes. Lovebites far superior
Suggest trying Brainwashing from Dexcore instead, and also checkout the lyrics, as most of their songs, are mostly in English.
you were talking about Dragonforce and guitar hero. just check Miyako from Lovebites playing dragonforce ^^
To the LoveBites fans, let's face it, these guys really didn't care for them, so what, you like what you like, and even with that, Bites won anyway, it's time for us to let it go, and stop with the sniping.
...for those still making suggestions, that's fine, but if you continue to snipe, why would they try, any more of there songs, they may not become diehards, but casual fans, all these J metal bands need those fans to.
I'll guarantee you won't see another Lovebites song on this channel, just like they won't see a Lovebites fan subbing to this channel.
@@guitarzen5999 I know, it was worth a shot.
@@guitarzen5999 Reactors usually don’t criticize bands, as that could lead to trouble for their channels, and many of them don’t want to receive any hate. However, because very few reactors criticize bands, it could also mean there is some demand for it as well. Many of their highest viewed videos are Japanese bands, including Lovebites, so I assume they will likely continue with it. Why watch? Well maybe you shouldn’t, especially if they don’t seem to be fair, but seeing some reactor woman saying she gets goosebumps watching Lovebites, then seeing that she gets them from almost every other band as well, starts to become meaningless, while this can seem okay to some by comparison. 🤷♂️
@@SomethingToDo360 that is true, a lot of reactors go GAGA for all the bands, so for views, likes and Subs, so a good percentage are not real, but there is much needed exposure, for the bands, so there is that. will i return the there channel, if they react to another Bites song i will check it out, but probably not, that is because they travel in a much different style of metal then i do, it's nothing personal...i also think this is a issue with, this music scene, it can be thin skinned, and i will admit, sometimes it does piss me off, but, it would be good if we dial it back just a tiny bit....i think to many of us, want an all or nothing fan, all in or out, there are no bands in any genre that will grow that way, need the casual fan. and i hope, some of the greatest band of all-time stuff, is not chasing people off, i don't want us seen like the band maid fan base, sycophants and delusional.
@@SomethingToDo360 on a side note, i also don't want the passion for LoveBites to be diminished either.
I can't get into a song that has non-stop profanity.
i have a challenge for the wolfpack’s and all fans of Japanese metal. don’t support or follows these two subjective losers
This is exactly the comment I expect from a 49ers fan
Personally, I would rather watch this, than another fake reaction.
Oracle Yapper 😂😂

I have to give credit to DEXCORE, other than FaLiLV, this sounded like music. That Nemophila song was really good, in my book, it had deserved to be number two, but this is a competition, and the community has decided. A minus for DEXCORE was for me this repetitive riff through most of the song, that would never happen with LOVEBITES. Even their solos (yes, I wait for these solos, and it's okay!) are quite varied and interesting, Not always the same stuff. (in one song, they have 14+ different solos.) it's not fair to say "there's no composition". The composition skills of these ladies (and helper Mao) are excellent. If this wasn't DEXCORE's best song, it wasn't LOVEBITES' best song either, it was written during the Covid-19 pandemic and had the purpose to give something uplifting to the fans. I like it, but there are better songs... You may have noticed, that LOVEBITES drew most views, well that may have had reasons like the platform, but it was a remarkable factor (up to a tenfold). This was a nice project, and it had the correct winner at the end. Thanks, guys!
No need bring falilv,Falilv have constant genre shift, varied riff, godly synthesizer, and they have all of that in their 4 minutes less song, or even on their least good song, but I guess you just have hatred with autotune vocal.
Glory to the world is very repetitive, especially the drumming part and dragging pre-chrous,and all of that in 7 minutes?nah, put that sh*t off
@@Kramer8 Shit? It is your opinion. Because you don't like the metal genres that LOVEBITES specialize in. The opinion you expressed speaks only about your musical tastes and preferences. You may be angry about the success of LOVEBITES. But that's your problem.
it looks like Kramer is a troll. he just wrote a negative comment under reaction of Nemophila ("adabana") vs Lovebites ( "the hammer of the wrath" song) on this channel.
@@GrayFox14 I'm not talking about their genre, I'm talking how Lovebites fans constantly lying and highly praise them about how 'diverse' or 'unique' they are compared to ANY metal band,in japan or west.
Babymetal sweep them completely.
Oh, How big Lovebites in japan with that viewcount?
@@Kramer8 are you already here? no one cares about your opinion.
Dexcore got a little hosed here IMO, Skindeep was a little meh from them but had they chosen The Light, Brainwashing, or Red Eye I feel like Dexcore takes it.
thumbs down all the way.
👍
You guys should make a video of you playing the Lovebites guitar solos, oh wait, there is no way that you could. Never mind.
OH YEAH!? Well where's your video "LongStroke26"?...actually, forget I asked.
@@SuperMetalBrosPodcast let's see your skills guys... Make a video shredding like the girls..
@@SuperMetalBrosPodcast Since Lovebites don't know how to compose and are boring, show us how you do it... Come on guys it's your channel, show us your chops....
@@LongStroke01 You can judge a competition between bands, without being in the competition yourself. They don’t seem to prefer Lovebites, so the fact that they still won anyway, is good enough. You’re asking for too much.
LMFAO from these losers. like they can do any better.
Agreed, they are like people who talk to themselves in TH-cam comments … pathetic.
Oracle Spectre literally makes music by himself
Break the Wall, Edge of the World, A Frozen Serenade, Swan Song (w/Chopin intro), Rising, I could go on, but Lovebites' discography is far more varied than what you have sampled. I must admit though, I really expected you'd find a way to give Dexcore the win, primarily because you make it clear you prefer that style over Lovebites' evolution of NWOBHM.
I concur, the songs you've mentioned could be interesting for these guys, my first thought was "Edge Of The World", but I'm fine with your list (I'd omit "Rising", they'd find that boring - not me!)...
@@rainerzufall42 Rising is one proof that there is diversity in the LoveBites discography. Reactors believe that LoveBites has few compositions and lacks variety.
I can't agree more about Master of puppets.
As a bassist, I love the breaks, the bridges, the time changes. I love playing Master of puppets because of that fact.
I said out loud Master of Puppets, before he said it.
Thus is what's wrong with metal today.
What a waste of f****** time.
👍
