Yes Miyako does do a good job on the piano which is hardly surprising since she is a concert standard classical pianist. That intro is a variation on a Rachmaninoff piece. Lovebite's music is riddled with little classical allusions compliments of Miyako. Many people cite such artists as Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Helloween and Gary Moore among the inspirations for their music but their influences go much further back than that.
As Asami says, they are Lovebites and they play heavy metal. They're not confined to a genre, they can play power metal, thrash metal, 80s-style metal, rock ballads... they're versatile within the entire genre of heavy metal, so it's not really fair to pigeonhole them. They're simply a great band, no matter what style the song they're playing.
They probably got from Motorhead....every show since the late 80's Lemmy would come out and say "We Are Motorhead.....and We Play Rock N Roll!!!" sometimes he would change the second part. "....And We're Here To Kick Your A**", or "....And we're Gonna Clean Your Clock"
Miyako loves to use classical music in their songs. That intro is Rachmaninoff Moment Musicaux Op. 16 No. 4 in e Minor, with hers own little twist to fit it with that ballad part of the song.
It's almost unfortunate that Lovebites have powermetal stamp. They are a lot more than just powermetal. They do Rock&Roll, Thrash Metal, Ballads... it's just that most played songs in youtube are powermetal songs and they catch everyone's attention, being so heavy. If you ask me. The ballads are their best songs. Specially "Edge of the world", which is real hybrid song, a masterpiece. Their equivalent to Metallica's "One".
Her voice blows me away EVERY song! Watching her and seeing her hit the notes she does... Melts my face!
Ahhhh Mikko!!! She is so small with such a powerful voice!!! That I have a thing for Asian women does NOT help with the fact! lol
Mine too. I could literally cry listening to Asami
@@alekhidell I could listen to hear all day and never tire of it
Great reaction to Lovebites again 👍!!! I really enjoy It again 🤘 "Empty Daydream " is on my Personal Top 10 Lovebites Playlist 🔥👍Thank's and stay save
Just adore this band. Every song is good Loved your analysis and reaction. You make me notice stuff I never heard before. And I constantly listen to Lovebites
Thanks for your wonderful commentary🎵I like to hear your musical analysis of LOVEBITES songs🎵
FEELIN' YOU Modern!!!
Lovebites has taken the glory of 80's metal and elevated it to a whole new level but thanks to Miyako they have also taken some of the classics and incorporated them into their songs. Rachmaninoff played as an intro by the classical trained Miyako (with her own little twists) and then the bluesy vocals of Asami before they kick into gear. As you heard they can harmonize vocally as well as musically. Great ballad and again with that Lovebites touch. They play outside their "LANE" all the time from Power, Speed, Thrash, Ballads and as you heard classical piano. Miyako was trained as a classical pianist from age 3 and the guitar started at 18, however while she gave up the classical piano career she never gave up the master's gifts and uses them all the time in her song writing. This song really show what fans love about this group as you see all the little things that they do inside the song to make it great. Attention to detail, perfection in the rendition and flawless execution on stage is the reason we truly love this band. Good one David, and while I might grade it higher, no matter you truly appreciated all this song had to offer and noticed all those subtle items added in to make this one of my favorite songs by them. Scream for Me (th-cam.com/video/9Og4gvSUmCo/w-d-xo.html) from the same concert is the "METAL" song with that M & M showcase, but this really shows just how gifted this group is. Miyako has a music degree and would of become a music teacher in between classical piano performances had it not been for Lovebites, loss for the classroom and concert hall but a big gain for us metal-head devotees.
Scream For Me is already in the pipeline for filming and editing....should be coming out soon.
This why I always request Lovebites on this chanel. Because you have great analysis. Great review. You know detail about music. Specially metal.
Still many song from Lovebites can blow your mind.
This song is "softly" song for Lovebites fans. Is a very good song, but not so highly song from Lovebites.
Waiting again for your reaction to Lovebites. Highly recommend song "Edge of the world" and they new song "Winds of Transylvania"
Big thanks again for you.
....keeeeeeeep watching.....all I can say....no spoilers....
There's a "Beat It" influence on the guitar in this song.
OMG!!!! I didn't wanna say it but I heard it too.
One of my favorite songs, So beautiful and glorious. Like everything they've ever done.
I am sure someone must have menyioned this before. Miyako is a classically trained pianist and has studied the piano for twenty-seven of her thirty years to concert level standard and the piano should be regarded as her main instrument. She only began to teach heerself to play the guitar at eighteen and did not take it seriously until she left university and is really her second instrument. One wonders how good she will be on the guitar when she has played it as long as she has played the piano. She also has a sweet voice.
great technical reaction, blown away
Totally agree with your little lecture about going outside your lane, but it's a little funny because Lovebites have several lanes, and I've never heard them do something they shouldn't have.
Even putting aside Miyako's brilliant playing, for me this shows how electronic keyboards have improved. I remember Keith Emerson and Rick Wakeman, pioneering keyboard development and the banks of keyboards they would require for a concert. Analogue synths and not touch sensitive, weighted keys in those days. The subtlety of touch and the sound from the keyboard Miyako is playing is testimony to the development of electric pianos and synthesisers.
To hear some of the best dual guitar work, please give Scream For Me (live - Daughters of the Dawn) a listen. Miyako and Midori put on a clinic.
Scream For Me is already in the pipeline for filming and editing...should be coming out soon.
YES MORE LOVEBITES! I have 8 songs on my UBS stick since you first featured them and THIS is one of them! I LOVE this band!
My 8yr old Ira even knows some of their songs now coming on and points it out! lol. My 11yr old needs to get exposed to them more than 3 songs she has heard.
It must be painful now owing their discography and having to hold back not listening to it! I bought their albums days after you featured them and spent a full week digging them hardcore!
Pls react to Lovebites new song “ Winds Of Transylvania “ next, it’s speed power metal🎉🔥🎸💃
Already in the que, added your name to the requesters
another masterpiece. nuff said
Lovebites women are so talented and their musicianship is awesome; so they cannot be stuck in just one genre. Not everything is shredding. I recommend the live songs “Edge of the world” and “Epilogue”. For more power, thrash metal I suggest “The hammer of wrath”, “Break the wall”, “Thunder vengeance”, “Raise some hell”, “Scream for me”, “When destinies align”, “Eagle fly free (Helloween cover), ad if possible “Dancing with the devil” (so bluesy metal), etc.; all live. Again, avoid “Bloodstuck”.
I subscribed because your analysis and thoughts about the band were interesting and insightful. This band is perfection.
Awesome, welcome to The Fanbase, glad to have you among us.
You know what this song brings me back to more than anything? Classic Visual Lies/Master of Disguise-era Lizzy Borden, especially with the harmonic guitars during the second and third verses!
Yes they are versatile since classical music up to thrash. Therefore they aren't boring and they have incredible talent to compose. Great.
LOVEBITES is called " wolves in white dresses" in Japan. so they always wear white dress on stage. since 2017 they have released 3 albums, 2 BRDs, 2 live albums, 2 EPs,1 DVD and 1 single in japan. the best all female band in Japanese music history is LOVEBITES. therefore, other all female bands can't even see the back of LOVEBITES.
@ bone red - Is this really going on in Japan? Calling Lovebites "wolves in white dresses"? I think it's cool!
@@alfredtorres2188 that's true. wolf is always drawn on their CD, BRD, EP, single and DVD jacket. but [white] wolf is only the first album. in Japanese「白いドレスを着た狼」。
You can really hear the R&B/soul/jazz roots of Asami in this one. Especially at the start. Just love it.
Check out " Raise Some Hell ", for showmanship, and another stellar performance!!
Raise Some Hell is actually already in the pipeline for filming and editing....should be coming out soon.
LOVEBITES - Empty Daydream lyrics:
Memories I can’t erase still haunting me
Silently you stare with cold, empty eyes
Falling down
Breaking heart
A growing addiction
Just let me go away
Just let me go my way
Just let me go, I won’t become a doll you control
I’m losing sight of me
I’m losing sight of you
I’m losing sanity and I don’t know how I will go on
Nothing new, pretending not to know the truth
Rendezvous, without emotion or heart
I won’t show how weak and sad I am inside
Even though I know it’s just silly pride
Empty room
Endless rain
The end of a daydream
You never call my name
You never feel the same
You never make me feel like I deserve any love
I’m waiting for the dawn
I’m waiting for the time
I’m waiting for my bleeding heart to heal, so I can go on
Memories I can’t erase still haunting me
Silently you stare with cold, empty eyes
Falling down
Breaking heart
A growing addiction
Empty room
Endless rain
The end of a daydream
Just let me go away
Just let me go my way
Just let me go, I won’t become a doll you control
I’m losing sight of me
I’m losing sight of you
I’m losing sanity and I don’t know how I will…
You never call my name
You never feel the same
You never make me feel like I deserve any love
I’m waiting for the dawn
I’m waiting for the time
I’m waiting for my bleeding heart to heal,
so I can go on
I love your Lovebites reactions, man :)
FEELIN' YOU Tim!!!
Lovebites.Now your talking.Just asterism to go.Good reaction.
.....keeeeeeeeeeep watching......all I can say.....no spoilers....
@@THEDavidHeretic Man I hope you do Dawn (LIVE ) (th-cam.com/video/buQPvINJcA0/w-d-xo.html) where you can see and hear the string work of 17 y.o Hal-Ca and 18 y.o. Miyu on his 7 string bass. A great trio and as an instrumental I know you will appreciate the music being the "VOCALS" and evaluate it that way.
@@jmetallover Already in the que, added your name to the requesters
Lovebites has no badsong. Do more lovebites its a fun journey. Your the only reactor that breakdown the keys which is great. But you didnt notice that iron maideny riff.
Great reaction! You really know your stuff! Stay safe.
FEELIN' YOU 104!!!
P.S. haven’t finished the whole video yet, but i love hearing people who like, actually know stuff about music- talk about music. its GREAT
FEELIN' YOU Polly!!!
Great reaction!! Next song please!
"Edge of The World"or "piano solo 〜Swan Song"Live in zepp diver city Tokyo 2020.
There's great songs! and great performance!
Edge Of The World is actually in the pipeline for filming and editing...should be coming out soon. Swan Song is already in the que, added your name to the requesters
They are all Jedi-level musicians, but Miyako is a savant. She is a concert-level classical pianist, and started learning guitar at the age of 18. She composes most of Lovebites’ music. It is too bad most musicians today are not exposed to classical music. Classical training takes you to a level far beyond what most rock/pop musicians will ever touch. It comes in handy when you want to do Metal!
Watching your reaction got me emotional. Your analysis was spot on, too... so I subscribed so I could learn more.
Awesome, welcome to The Fanbase. Glad to have you among us.
Thank you. It’s nice to watch thoughtful analysis. Of course you liking the song helps! But I knew you would. I imagine you have been asked to play the whole live catalog... so I won’t push my luck for a follow up request...
You can still request, if it's already in the que I'll just add your name to the requesters
I CRACK UP every time when you go back and the pig sounds start and you argue with it lol.
Reviewing a recent concert, someone criticized the group's rendition of Liar (playing it live for the first time with their new member) saying that they weren't animated and Fami, who normally is all smiles onstage, didn’t seem energized. A response pointed out that the lyrics of the song were about a painful betrayal in a relationship, and smiles would have been inappropriate and jarring. (I'm paraphrasing.)
There's a lot of intentionality in the Livebites compositions, not just in the way the instruments blend, but in the structure, sometimes literally with sevaral separate movements. That includes the integration of the lyrics with the changing mood of any particular song. Imo that is a big factor in the power of their compositions.
Miho and Miyako sound so good on backing vocals I'm surprised they don't use them more. The CD doesn't sounds as good for backing vocals.
in my opinion, LOVEBITES are very versatile: they can play various musical genres. This one is heavy metal, as you said, Thunder vengeance, holy war and others are power metal, and other songs are very trash metal, reminding Slayer. That's why they are absolutely my favourite band.
The slightly progressive metal track “Empty Daydream” was originally made for the EP “Battle Against Damnation” , but did not past the final song selection and was instead kept for the album Clockwork Immortality
Lyrics: Asami
Music: Miyako

I thought you had already done "Lovebites - Scream for me" with its guitar duals. I don't see it in the uploads. Looks like two more ballads you haven't gotten to, Epilogue and Edge of the World. Unless of course you have done some of these and they have since been taken down.
Scream for Me and Edge Of The World are both in the pipeline for filming and editing....should be coming out soon. Epilogue is already in the que, added your name to the requesters.
8.9 is a very good score! Yet another beautiful performance by the girls. A little more on their soft side which is always good to see, we Lovebites fans already get plenty of heavy and fast shredd type of songs, so this is a welcomed change of pace.
Love the section when they as you said, kick it into overdrive, again Haruna finding the perfect time to make use of her ice bell adding a flavor of tension, such a good drummer.
Also what a beautiful vocal performance, Asami fit's in so well in their songs, she is so good. And this one in particular we also get to hear also Miho and Miyako singing.
Thanks for another awesome video David, i really appreciate your detailed analysis of this band's fantastic skills and excellent compositions!
Can't wait for the next one! Stay safe.
What was his best score?
@@kelesi for Lovebites? 9.3 i think.
@@JFrancoDrums no in general. For which song and band did he gives his best score?
@@kelesi Ah sorry, that i dont know but he doesn't give 10's, no one is perfect!
Almost all Lovebites songs except one i think was above 9.
David doesn't just evaluate the songs, he evaluates the performance as a whole including production, stage presence, interaction etc.
@@kelesi 9.3 Holy War. Can't wait David's reaction to Epilogue, for me a Masterpiece. Hope the full video is still on.
YOU DID the TURBO comment! YES! You SAID you were eventually bringing that up.... You DID AND SPOT ON!!!! Hell I am DIE HARD U2 and they HAVE done TWO Turbo's and DIDN'T learn the first time! I CAN admit as a U2 fan the band I LOVE has TWO SHIT albums! Yes you U2 haters ALL their albums are crap to you, we have heard it a BILLION times! lol
I've just hit the subscribe button. I am going through all of your Lovebites reactions and loving each one. This time last week I had never heard of Lovebites or Band-Maid, nor had I heard of Aldious who are another gem of a Japanese metal band. Keep up the great work here, I love your insight into the live performances. You're reactions are educational and entertaining. Oh and please do a reaction to Lovebites 'Thunder Vengeance' live. You'll see the Slayer side of them come out in that performance. th-cam.com/video/yWE7PqCpGi4/w-d-xo.html
Funny story.....it's already in the pipeline for filming and editing....should be coming out soon.
You pick on the guitarist on the left cause she doesn't smile or move around much. from what I hear she write most if not all the songs. She also plays the piano really well and the guitar and she sings. Did you notice the one on the right was not singing. Just had to bust you on that, lol
Dude you ain't seen nothing yet you have a big hole to dive into
i think chopin again (overture)
Please react also to RAISE SOME HELL. I'm sure these girls will surprise one more time, there :) (no spoiler)...
It's actually already in the pipeline for filming and editing....should be coming out soon
@@THEDavidHeretic YAY! Can't wait . I have full respect of your opinions because you know about music, paying attention of details that i didn't notice, and that's cool because i learn more about my favourite band.
@@alexthomas3745 FEELIN' YOU Alex!!! Glad to hear you are enjoying the show, more great stuff to come.
