"Dude did you see that cymbal it's a star" after earlier in the video when the drums started it showed her spinning it to start. also she spins the stars in many videos as do Miho and Asami at times.
@@evilvolts yeah I saw her spin it
this is my favorite song by them. you should watch the live version from 2021 show!! have a great day!!
Thank you
The song that propelled these ladies to garner a lot more international attention
They still should have a bigger stage
@amiekinz4ever I 💯 percent CONCUR!!!!! Unfortunately, covid screwed things up. Lovebites was supposed to do their 1st US TOUR end of 2020, first part of 2021. Then there was the global shutdown, and then in August 2021, Miho, the original bassist and co-founder of Lovebites, left. So they are making their US debut in September of this year, and we are hoping that they will add more tour dates. Just waiting to hear.
Midori's sassy grin while she shreds is legendary now. This was actually the second MV they put up on YT but it's the one that really blew up.
@@Amiekinz4ever They _should_ have a bigger stage, absolutely, but I have to wonder about the ceiling for a group that primarily plays power and thrash metal no matter how well they play it. Metal is a niche genre in Japan and while LOVEBITES is wildly skilled for sure, there's an undeniable "been there, done that" aspect to their sound for a lot of people. Miho even said something to the effect of LOVEBITES is a tribute to the bands they grew up listening to.
I have a feeling that as they grow, they will expand musically as well
Shadowmaker live is even more badass. Asami has three screams and M & M got solos even better than here by standing next to each other. Such a great shred song-one of their first shred masterpieces
2:08 Haruna shows us how to use her star cymbals! Thank you, Haruna! ❤
I think it's more for looks than sound though
Your right. Haruna, and Asami too, love spinning those star cymbals!!! When Haruna hits them with her stick you hear a "ting" sound and then a whir. But yes primarily for show!!! As a drummer myself I am always amazed at Harunas talent level on the drums 🥁. Her drumming should be studied!!!!
She's a great great great drummer
And to think this video was made within the first 12 months of the band being formed - that's how good they are in such a short time.
I love it
Incredibly the live version is even more impressive. Insanely pleasurable to listen to and watch. Their solos tend to bring a tear they are so good.
Yeah, I may have teared up a time or two watching this band 😀
Yess
@@mr.neorizal8908 😊😊😊
Probably my favourite guitar solo from them. Midoris first part of the solo is just fenomenal.
She's a shredder
@@Amiekinz4ever Yeh, she is - but there is so much more than shredding in this solo. It´s timing, climbing and descending, changing pace, those little slides in the middle of the fast playing, It¨s one of my absolute favorite guitar solos.
This was the gateway song for me. I had to literally watch it 5 times in a row so that my mind could comprehend what I was seeing. I was Hooked from that moment on.
This is phenomenal
Great reaction as always... There is a coment somewhere on one of these video's that reads
"When Miyako is old and grey, her grandchildren will ask "Granny, what did you do when you were young?"
And she will answer: "I wrote Shadowmaker."
By far the very Best Lovebites coment on the net..
More Lovebites please. Signs of deliverance live would be cool, their double overhand tapping solo is next level. Watch it if you Dare?
Best wishes from France
I'll add that to my list
@@Amiekinz4ever look forward to your reaction..
@@grantnealon5101 😊😊😊
Anthem, as you said. I had already heard "Rising" before and I wasn't convinced. Then I watched Shadowmaker and instantly fell in love with Lovebites - forever.
They are amazing
You should also listen to a live versions of "Shadowmaker" from one of Lovebites live DVDs. The solos (sweeping in particular) are really impressive live, especially considering how dry the tones are, without a bunch if effects to mask mistakes. And then the drums; Haruna adds so many tasty accents and fills! I really don't get how she can play that way in a 90+ minute set, just remembering everything as the conductor, plus the stamina required. There's so many great things to pick up on when you concentrate on one specific instrument each repeat, even in the vocals.
They are a great band
Also watch the Live version! 🎸🔥🎸🔥🤘MIDORI !!! 🤘
Will do
Shadowmaker is one of my favorite songs from Lovebites. There’s also a live version and a studio live version, same music, but showing different aspects of the band.
😊😊😊
The best day of 2024? Without a trace of doubt: June 18. And why is that? On that day I will be seeing this stellar band live in Lindau/Germany. Till those magic moments: the wonderful thrill of anticipation. Yes - so far as Metal goes, my life couldn't be better
That's going to be a great show
The song that M&M love to play LIVE. This is also the original song from 2017 (the original had their tour dates in the middle of the video) and the one that hooked many of the early Wolfpack members. Just another example of the insane talent in the band. Now go check out the live version from 2021 while Miyako was 4/5 months pregnant.
Will do
I absolutely adore Miyako's compositions!!
🩷🐺🩷🐺🩷🐺🩷🐺🩷🐺🎸🎸🎸🎤🥁🎶🔥🔥🔥
She's brilliant
Oh, that tone Midori enters with, soooo fat and excellent...
Truth
and again, these solos still my most favorite. It just fit perfectly in my ears, brain, and nerves
LOVEBITES - Shadowmaker lyrics:
Caught in the noise, my thoughts are destroyed
Trapped in the silence, it's so hard to breathe
But still I go on, my hunger is strong
Hoping that someone will grab my hand
Stranded by moonlight I realize the cold of this world
Maybe it's too late？
No one can save me
From all of the darkness and solitude
Cry, like shadows of the night
I carry all the pain inside to justify why I'm alive
Despite going through this hell
Cause still my heart has hope
No matter if I'm torn apart, I'll play my part
Before I drown with secret thoughts of my heart
Reckless and fast, how long will I last？
Dancing like puppets, I'm empty inside
Fighting the fear, and grieving the dear
Hoping that someday I'll be repaid
Only my echoing heartbeats can prove that I'm here
Am I all alone？
Even a faint light is too bright for me, I can't see a thing
Hide, in shadows I reside
I tremble like a heartless soul, no place to go
In desolated land knowing no escape
But still I wish to live
Just waiting for a somebody to notice me
Before I fall down to depths of the abyss
SOLO: midori / mi-ya / both / miya
Caught in the noise, my thoughts are destroyed
Trapped in the silence, it's so hard to breathe
But still I go on, my hunger is strong
Hoping that someone will grab my hand
Stranded by moonlight I realize the cold of this world
Maybe it's too late？
No one can save me from solitude
Cry, like shadows of the night
I tremble like a heartless soul, no place to go
In desolated land knowing no escape
But still I wish to live
Just waiting for a somebody to notice me
Before I fall down to depths of the abyss
Like shadows of the night
I carry all the pain inside to justify why I'm alive
Despite going through this hell
Cause still my heart has hope
No matter if I'm torn apart, I'll play my part
Before I drown with secret thoughts of my heart

This are great lyrics
@@Amiekinz4ever 🐺
🤘😁🤘
Love Lovebites 🐺🤘🏴
🤘🤪🤘
Many bands can play fast, but Lovebites play fast and melodic.
They are great
Literally the song that brought me back from the hell of that goddamn pandemic.
The lyrics resonated with me. The instrumentals were otherworldly. This is an anthem, a hero's theme (and the hero is every one of us).
Things change for the better since then, but everytime I listen to Shadowmaker, I feel the need to wear a cape&cowl, and do good.
(It also made me a religious dude... I believe in the Church Of Lovebites now🤘🐺🤘)
It's definitely an anthem
This track is LIVE !!!!!!!!! Grand mother ...
😊😊😊
Thanks for all LOVEBITES reactions 👏👍🤗 Cheers from Poland 🤘🐺😎🎸😁
There's more to come
coraz więcej polaków tutaj :)
@@CrumblexEloi Oby jak najwięcej 😁 Może doczekamy się koncertów Lovebites w Polsce 🤘🐺😎🤘
Nie dajmy sie zwariować ,ten utwór jest live,a stara baba wrzeszcy jak cholera,ten zespół jest fantastyczny ! Jak pomyślę o rodzimej muzie to śmiech mnie ogarnia..ha,ha

Classic Lovebites these ladies never disappoint. "Lovebites Rules"
I've not been disappointed yet, that's for sure
🐺LOVEBITES RULES🐺
🤘🤪🤘
LOVEBITES🔥🤘最高！ナイスリアクション👍ありがとう！
Thank you
Always fun to see you react to lovebites keep it up girl!!
Thank you!! 😊
Thanks for checking this out. Still one of my favorites by them But then I have around 50 favorites....
Ha ha, I know what you mean
That song it's amazing masterpiece ..chech Miho at 12.34- from your reaction , she slap the bass..fantastic Miho.
Yeah she's amazing
an amazing reaction for an amazing band. Thank you so much.
Glad you enjoyed it
This is another Lovebites iconic song included in their first album. Yes, they were that great from the beginning. The live version of their successful performance at Wacken Open Air, Germany, 2018, is also excellent.
They will just get better
Welcome back to Lovebites 😃🐺
Did ya miss me? 😊😊😊
"I'm gonna put you in the kennel, sweetie. Lie down!" Is that a way to talk to a dog? 😄😄😄Great reaction! Your enthusiasm for Lovebites is very contagious.
Ha ha, my pup is such a great well behaved dog UNTIL I press record and want to react to a song ha ha ha
Midori and Miyako are simply the greatest duo going today.
They are pretty impressive
Haruna’s star cymbals are just for show. She used them in Destrose, the band her and Miho were both part of previous to LOVEBITES.
I once reached out to Midori and asked if she still had that white FRX, and she confirmed that she still does. That’s such a pretty guitar. I’ve see her with a seven-string version as well, but she was only posing with it. Not sure if that one is hers or not.
Great song, probably one of the first I heard from LB. “Addicted” is another song of theirs that’s similar, but there’s only maybe two or three live versions out there for it. The version from 2000’s “Five of a Kind” show is my favorite.
I'm glad she still has that guitar.
Definitely one of my favorites by the metal queens 🤘. I'm glad you did the music video, I actually like it a bit more than live, especially with the riff leading up to that awesome guitar solo.
That riff was 🔥
🤟🏻🔥GRANDIOSAS🐺ÚNICAS🔥🤘🏻
Gracias por la buena reacción Amie👍🏻
This particular song, for me, gets better with each live performance as they do something better each time to enhance it. Not sure exactly what they do, but from the stage performance of this song or the the concert is better each time, but this song continues to evolve and gets better with each concert.
That's awesome!
SHADOWMAKER (2017) is from LOVEBITES’s *first* album. Boy, did they set a high bar right out of the gate.
I know right?!!!?
This was my first contact with Lovebites almost 7 years ago, my favorite band.
They are phenomenal
Thx for your reaction. Another banger from Lovebites. 🤘
Lovebites, Band-Maid and The Warning are the new triumvirate of todays rock music! So much power, fun, energy, talent and grace in all three bands.
The women are taking over and i am absolutely loving it. :)
Women rule! 😊
@@Amiekinz4ever They do!
Band Maid's plan for world domination
unfolds. 😁
😊😊😊
do a massive amount of lovebites!! so one day they come to Canada. great reaction lovebites!!
I'm not in Canada though.
Now that you have watched the MV of Shadowmaker you should really check out the live performance of Shadowmaker from the Ride for Vengeance tour!!!! It will blow you away!!!!!
Oh I will.
Not only is this one of my favorite songs, but this song contains what may be my favorite guitar solos of all time. A brilliant masterpiece of metal music. 🤘🎸🎸🤘
They do shred, I'm here for it!
should have reacted to the live version...this song is epic live))) haven't you learned, yet - all these female metal goddesses from Japan are only worth seeing live)))
I love their live songs, but I also like to pay homage to their videos as that is their artistic side and they put so much effort into giving us these incredible pieces of art
I disagree. Of course the live versions are epic. But IMO it‘s disrespectful towards the band to keep people from also getting to know the bands studio work. It‘s also an important part of their art! And Shadowmaker MV is iconic for the Wolfpack …
Yeah, I am going to watch it all, both live and the MV's
@@stand.and.deliver.5 now I have to disagree with you - I don't care what you can do in the studio, in an isolated environment or in the singing booth!!! Put me in that warehouse, I am as good as Miyako))) The point of my comment is - can you perform what you write??? Miyako and Midory are Goddesses when it comes to live improvisation and no matter what anyone can say - they are much better live, they can record live albums with eyes closed and I was urging the good lady to take a different approach to the song....
I'll be reacting to both the live and the MV's. :)
I can not watch your reactions ............. once. I have to re-watch again and again. I simply love your reactions. Thanks for this amazing reaction. Rock on ✌✌✌
Next song: th-cam.com/video/dcMVtrvpJpk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=a_fZhQbWvdLEhfJ8 (Swan song + Chopin intro)
Awwwww, thank you SOOOO much!!!
I do enjoy your reactions - especially when you react to LOVEBITES, my all time favourite band.
I love reacting to them. They never cease to amaze me
The star cymbals are Haruna's trade mark and are always present on her drum kit. They are not "played" but she does spin them every so often, as can be seen at the beginning of this MV. I hope you do the live version of this as well. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thank you for that tidbit of info. Much love ❤️
Aren't your guitars supposed to come down before a Lovebites reaction? 🤣
This band is something else! 🤘
Ha ha, nah, I just can't play them the same day as a LOVEBITES reaction 😆

Thank you
These are probably the best solos in history of metal and not only.😎
This song/MV so 'haunting'. When it's started, the 'stop' button seem missing. One of my top favorite Lovebites songs. Thanks sis 🤘👍
It's in my top as well
The star cymbals are just for show. They are a trademark for Haruna. Haruna uses to turn them now and then, usually at the start.
And she did that very thing in this video. :)
"Her smile says it all" and your smile says it all too, haha! I already subscribed a few reviews ago but I just love how spontaneous your reviews are and the way you listen and you talk about their music; "now they're playing in thirds and fifths" and she goes with this melodic line just lalala while the rest of the band goes dzdzdzdz, haha, great! Just go on like this and hope you reach the 10000 subscribers soon! By the way; I think your doggie wants to see Lovebites too, that's why he wants to sit on your lap! Tip for you; their best MV with superb guitarwork is "When Destinies Align" and look for Burden of Time (live from Abyss) if you want to see Miyako play keys and guitar at the same time, very special! 👍👍
Thank you, I'll add those to my list. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts. 😊😊😊
The heroic phase of Lovebites with Miho, the great commander! 🤘🤘🤘🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🔥🔥🔥

You got to check out the band that kicked off this whole modern movement.
In the 1980s Show Ya was the first successful All Female J Metal band. Then norhing till Aldious in 2008.
Check out Aldious Spirit Black, the first hit by an All Female band in the modern era, opening the door to all who followed.
Haruna had the star cymbals when she played for Destrose, they disbanded in 2015 and she and Bassist Miho formed this band.
Awesome, thank you
Gracias por estas reacciones aun te faltan muchos grandes temas de lovebites sigue porfavor
I will
Just think this is off their 1st album, now check out the live version it's awesome.
I will eventually, I'm loving this journey
1st song i listened to multiple time. Then Rising,them Crusade set the hook.
Its a god damn crime they get no airplay in the states.
This is my favorite solo!
I can see why
Another Lovebites gem! Love this band!❤
They are soooo good
@@Amiekinz4ever we’re all anticipating the new album!
When is it coming out?
@@Amiekinz4ever Not sure. From Miyako’s social media posts, they’re getting close to finishing it.
@@03acerider that's exciting!
So much to enjoy in this video.
Yeah, it's the gift that keeps on giving
🤘🐺🤘🐺
🔥🔥🔥
This is the first song made me fallen in love with Lovebitse
I can see why
Love me some Lovebites.
Me too!
Please do it live 2021 it’s amazing
Will do. It's on my list
Ok so I have just subscribed to your channel as you genuinely seem to be a fan of these ladies. I see a lot of reactors do lovebites and say all the right things but never visit them again. Which leads me to believe that they have heard about the Wolfpack and simply do a song for likes and views. So now I hold off on the subscription until I know the reactor is genuine
I'm definitely genuine. They shred!!!! And I'm here for it!!!
Midori & miyako is the best 🤘🐺🔥
Yes they are
This song is about 15 times better live 😉
Oh I bet
最高
😊😊😊
I wish Midori use that white demon FRX-II on live.
Maybe one day she will

@@Amiekinz4ever I seriously forgot to subrscribe, good thing that you keep reminding people aboput it! This happens when you watch video after video and sometimes even forget to like what you like.
Great reaction. This is thier second MV that the world fell in love with. Did you notice that the blond guitarist has her natural black hair here and with much femininer curvy figure. You should try the latest MV this time if you haven't reacted Stand And Deliver (Shoot'em Down) yet. th-cam.com/video/4ImGA7cPyrs/w-d-xo.html It's got different rocky vibe of Lovebites. Enjoy!!
