This one is up there with Dystopia Symphony!! Haruna pushing harder then ever im pretty sure!! The Miyako songs always so well crafted!! 🤘 Funny to see them in the video, and Miyako saying sorry to Asami and Haruna because she wrote such a hard song for them 😁
Thanks Wave. Great reaction. Love the breakdown. You really need to pick up this album. It is a masterclass in intrumentation, and Asami's voice is insane! Her grasp of the scales is phenomenal! I've lstened to this album so many times now I've lost track. The underlying symphonic rhythm in this song is gorgeous. So powerful and melodic. And yes, Asami is gorgeous! lol.
This is my favorite track on the album. So wicked fast. I love all parts of the song, the vocals, the guitars, the bass and killer drums. Stellar performance!
Great reaction. This is an incredible, very dense song. So much happening at once, it really deserves multiple listens to take it all in. The same can be said about Judgement Day as a whole, really. It's a very impressive record. Haruna's drumming is astonishing throughout, Miyako and Midori are incredible as usual, Fami gets some great moments to shine, but Asami might have impressed me the most. She is so good on the whole album. Lovebites really seem to have returned stronger than ever. As for Miho I would recommend Golden Destination. Not only is it a fantastic song, it also features an extensive bass section where Miho got to shine a bit. It really sounds like a lost Iron Maiden song. Just make sure to check out a live version as the music video tends to get blocked, plus you'd actually get to see Miho going off.
Awesome album, this is my favourite song, pure adrenaline, the Girls play at curvature speed. We waited for their return and they didn't disappoint us, Great Reaction🤘🏼🎸🥁🎤🐺❤️🔥🇯🇵🇮🇹
My fav song on the album. Maestro Miyako's composition and arrangement prowess on full display here. This track proves what a sad myth it is to label Lovebites just a power metal band. THEY ARE NOT ! As in a lot of other songs, there are power/speed, thrash and prog elements and layers. On the side of prog, listen to how Miyako seamlessly integrates classical music influences into the track to provide the subtle key & time signature changes at the right places which make a super-fast bpm song melodic at the same time.
Yeah, Lovebites play some very challenging music and it is only getting more and more complex with each subsequent release. They truly are incredible musicians.
That drum fill, for me, is the icing of the cake of an already amazing song. Stellar composition and stellar performance throughout by all five musicians.
nice reaction Wave. really cool video too, I missed the live stream, so it's awesome to see this. I love them more every time I get to know more about their off-stage personas. amazing group of talented musicians and loveable people too.
My favorite band, im here for my daily fix! ✌ Kickass tune from beginning to end, everyone shines in this song 🐺 Asami was impeccable on J-Melo...that high note bruh 😍 The best reactor from gaijin, insightful as always, keep rocking 🤘
Another great reaction to Lovebites, Wave! I think the word you wanted to use other than "regal" and "dominating" when watching them perform live in that video would be BADASS 🤣 This is what they are when they perform on stage.
This is one of my two favorite songs from the latest album. The other being Wicked Witch. Soldier Stands Solitarily's harmonized dual guitar intro reminds me so much of Avenged Sevenfold's solo guitar opening to Hail to the King. This song gets me ridiculously amped. Haruna's drums are absolute fire the entire time. By the way, the second best attribute of Asami (next to her amazingly perfect and powerful voice) is her graciousness towards her other band mates. She always steps back during the live performances to allow the other members to shine and loves to wave her arms towards the other members as if directing the attention and applause from the audience. It's really cool to see such selflessness from a lead singer in a band.
great reaction, wave. thank you. and what you said about asami is absolutely true. saw the tv show on nhk world too. by the way: any band, who can play this one equally good or better is invited to do a cover.
It's not possible for the love & respect for these women to keep growing. And yet, it does. Brilliant insight into their characters. I know it will never happen, but it would be so nice to see some candid shots of the mothers, together with their children & husbands.
I can't remember off hand which song it was, but during one of the earlier songs there was a hilarious moment. 4 of the 5 ladies had picked up plushies and were having them dance along and headbang to the music. Midori, the only one left out, didn't seem to have one handy so she grabbed a florescent dumbbell and started using that. Given her recent journey into fitness and body building I thought it was fitting. 😂
Miho did have a couple songs where she had moments to shine. Not many and not as many as FAMI has even with just Judgement Day. Miyako and Asami wrote specifically to showcase FAMI and Miho is a very orthodox heavy metal bassist so she didn't mind Miyako and Midori having the entire spotlight instrumentally.
Nice reaction Wave, I'm glad you picked the livestream version, although it does cause information overload! I love Miyako's intricate melodies, you can almost hear her channelling some of her favourite classical composers, just sped up a tad. 🤗 btw, there is a similar format video of Wicked Witch from the same channel, well worth a look.
Really, really enjoyed your reaction and some analysis. I kinda had the same reaction to this song, even though I've been listening to them for about 3 years now. Old 80s metalhead bass player who is fixated by Midori and Haruna.
This is a live video of the signing event for fans who purchased a limited number of copies of LOVEBITES' new album. Thank you for following LOVEBITES at all times. Please keep up the good work LOVEBITES. 【The following is from an interview with LOVEBITES for a magazine project】 [Miyako] As for "Soldier Stands Solitarily", I had a demo of it when I was working on the "Glory, Glory, to the World" EP (2021). It had a completely different shape than this one, except for the chorus. The chorus was punchy and had a good melody, so I wasn't satisfied with it as it was. This time, I restructured it and reincarnated it. In Miyako's mind, she thought the BPM was too fast, so Miyako said in her mind to Haruna, "I'm sorry," "If you lower this BPM, it will feel different!" He said. So in Miyako's mind, Miyako said, "Haruna can play at this BPM," and"If you don't play like this, it won't sound cool!" With that in mind, Miyako entered the bass line into the software.
Hi FAB1. This is the "release of the album party" with them in their own homes. The signing event was a few days before when they were together in the same room at Victor Records I assume. 😊
@@marks5451 Hello. That is correct. I was mistaken. Thank you for correcting me. In a way I enjoy having conversations like this with you. Thank you for your continued support. And let's continue to support LOVEBITES.
They are all monsters on their instruments + Asami singing skill 😆👍. Miyako golden touch, mindblowing. Really push to the limits (if there are any🤭) Haruna & Asami got bullied by Miyako for that fast beat and high note vocal 🤭🤭. Fami will get her longer solo soon.👍👍
nice reaction don't be fooled by the white dress Too many ads... Let me just say that ☺︎. I like Miyasako's compositions and arrangements because of the classical elements. And she even has two talents as a guitarist and pianist, even the background chorus is good.
The second you take your eyes off of MIYAKO for one minute .. you get this.. a MIYAKO composition. It's relentless on steroids. Then , they hit the nitrous button, face melting solos ensue. She composed 3 others. Dgg'n yer jam
holy sh......that was amazing.... the guitars Mihaco and Midori are MADDDDDD... the bass Fami it's going craaaazy she is soooo gooood, Haruna it's FANTASTIC crazy drummer AMAZING speed she had . Asami voice sound much better too. I've loved your reaction that was great . Lovebites..are my preferite heavy metal band i'm getting addicted to that sound
This song is like Avenged Sevenfold on crack! My favorite song on the album and probably my favorite Lovebites song besides Shadowmaker and Dystopia Symphony
Strong Dragonforce vibe with one. Much is being said about Haruna's speed and endurance, and rightfully so, but I must mention Asami is at the top of her vocal range for almost all of the chorus. She's at treble f and g A LOT on this album, which suggests good coaching. She will need to make good use of her vocal conditioning, because a 1.5 - to - 2-hour set will tax her voice. When/if they do SSS live in concert, only a ballad or a break should follow it.
Brother, I still think Haruna could out stomp an Ostrich! Wave, have you ever seen anything that Miho wrote and published on her own, as Fami has? I can't think of anything off-hand. And that may be a huge part of the difference in how the band perceived her in the auditions. Fami is for real, a Bass Beast!
Great reaction but you needed to do this twice as like you said there's so much going on. Once commenting on them in the video and the 2nd commenting on the song.
First it was Kanami and now it's Asami. Rosie needs to keep a leash on you! For me it's Midori in Warrior Princess garb and sexy Power Stance! Have you seen her arms lately? I have to be careful or she'll shred me like her guitar! Genius composition...hmmm, where have I seen that before, maybe BandMaid. Someday LoveBites, Bandmaid, Nemophila, YOYOKA, and many others all on stage at once at NAONのYAON!
@@boyzyu We could all die happy if that happened! Somehow I see the possibility of a lot of different collaborations among the Japanese Female music community. They are in it more for fun, and to please the fans, than us Americans. They all share the same fan base for the most part.
@Eyeosphere00 ofc their are im also a Fan of Band Maid just not as much as of Lovebites, but thats not the point, the point is that Alain dont likes Lovebites that much and if you would have known most of his "Shows" you will notice that he shittalk and underrate them quite often. Its personal taste and im okay with it but he in the past was really unfair to Lovebites.
@@Hamish_Whitehaven I agree with you. It's nothing to do with Alan not liking Lovebites, everyone is entitled to his or her music tastes and preferences. Where I draw the line is when someone like Alan starts disrespecting the band. As a reactor, he has a responsibility to just say something like "this music is not to my taste" and then move on. We can all respect that. However, he makes snide remarks and KEEPS REPEATING THEM in many of the Dicodec and GG reactions/streams. He keeps saying "once you've heard two or three songs from Lovebites, you've pretty much heard them all". He is not just stating his musical taste or preference, he's lietarally sh*tting on the band ! I have zero respect for that guy.
OK Wave. When you think you've seen the weirdest of weird from the Japanese, you see this (popped up when I was searching to see how to spell " NAONのYAON" . You need to share this with Rosie. theculturetrip.com/asia/japan/articles/how-to-celebrate-kanamara-matsuri-tokyos-penis-festival/

And yes, please, you really should learn more about Lovebites in general. All of you 🙂
Even "My Orion" the most simple song from LB, but still sound amazing and catchy
My #1 favorite performance by HARUNA and IMO the best track on this album. 🥁⭐️🏆
Absolutely, Haruna once again awesome!! 🤘🥁⭐
Agreed, It's the best with 9 tracks coming in at a close 2nd.
That drum fill, for me, is the icing of the cake of an already amazing song. Stellar composition and stellar performance throughout by all five musicians.
Another track from the live stream where their reaction was really fun to watch was My Orion. Fami kept joking around with her writing board.
First solo - Miyako - is glorious, but next solo - Midori - is just beyond words. My favourite song from the album.
nice reaction Wave. really cool video too, I missed the live stream, so it's awesome to see this. I love them more every time I get to know more about their off-stage personas. amazing group of talented musicians and loveable people too.
My favorite band, im here for my daily fix! ✌
Kickass tune from beginning to end, everyone shines in this song 🐺
Asami was impeccable on J-Melo...that high note bruh 😍
The best reactor from gaijin, insightful as always, keep rocking 🤘
Welcome back and thank you for doing this reaction to lovebites again, this is my favourite song from this album, it's so good, LOVEBITES ROCK
Wow 😳 this song is Fast 🤗 specially for the Drummer HARUNA 🥰
Actually, Wave, they may indeed be superheroes, and this is just their Clark Kent mode 🤓🤓
Miyako's masterpiece of the album! No. 1🔥
Thanks Wave for checking Lovebites out! They really deserve all the fame they can get 🤘🏻🐺
pay attention to the madness that happens behind the guitar solos....Haruna Unleashed....
now wave go back and listen to the song all the way thru without stopping it. you will appreciate much more great reaction. have a great day!!!!
Yeah, the live stream album premier was so much fun. Wolfpack was freaking out. Chat was flying.
History in the making right here.
The guitars & drums are doing so many cool pieces on this track it's fun to just listen over & over.

Miho also has a song where she has a small solo
Lovebites - The Awakening The Hammer Of Wrath th-cam.com/video/otJZPUCwyOM/w-d-xo.html
I really think that Midori's hair looks better down like she has it here. I know .... nothing to do with the song.... which is mind blowing!
nice reaction
don't be fooled by the white dress
Too many ads... Let me just say that ☺︎.
I like Miyasako's compositions and arrangements because of the classical elements.
And she even has two talents as a guitarist and pianist, even the background chorus is good.
Imagine myself 5 mins try to do the riffs and i'll get my right hand cramping for the rest of my life.

Fami is so darn cute! I just imagine them all pinching her cheeks and giving her anime style head pats backstage after a good show. 😊
Q: What do you get when 5 prodigies are in the same metal band?
A: LOVEBITES!

Great taste. All three are fantastic songs.
I got intro solo sound like the stage by a7x
Insane!
They are actually tapping together in intro
Is this the best song on the album? Can't really decide, but for now, I think, it is...
