Excellent work Nina! Seen many of your videos and sure I asked a few times for you to check out Lovebites. SO GLAD YOU DID, that was a great breakdown! Hopefully more on the horizon!
I like your analisis of this song and have to compliment you about your musicality and very good ears, really impressive how quick you break down all the parts in this song. If I may have a little point of citisism; a lot of people like to hear the solo's unbroken and it would be nice if you first listen a certain part of the song and then go back to break it down into the parts you want to analyze. That would be a bit nicer for the listeners.
I like when real musicians react to Lovebites because you really appreciate their music proficiency. Thanks for spreading the word because these women deserve more recognition.
Wow.. impressive detail analysis. That was what Lovebites kept fighting for. The quality of songs and musicianship. Seriously written. That makes me more proud of Lovebites (members and crews). Thanks sis 👍👍❤️🤘
Your detailed analysis was very interesting. LOVEBITES has other songs that are worth analyzing, and I look forward to more in the future! From a LOVEBITES fan in Japan.
Awesome breakdown and analysis of a masterpiece from Lovebites ! This track showcases just how versatile and talented these ladies are. Personally, the lyrics are open to interpretation. There are 2 main schools of thought - (1) Asami wanted a sad winter ballad for their third album, "Electric Pentagram", or (2) the song is about a nuclear winter. Either way, Asami co-composed and wrote the lyrics for this song.
@@PaleHorseShabuShabu It was mentioned in an article that was written by a music reviewer from a UK magazine called the midlands rock. He was reviewing "Electric Pentagram" back in 2020.
@@PaleHorseShabuShabu I know the sad winter ballad theory was attributed to Asami, but I can't find an actual quote from her in any article. Do you know of one where she was directly quoted ? If so, that would certainly answer the question definitively.
This song is about how the destructive consonances of Lowbuts drove most of the world's population insane and made them cultists, thus pushing the world towards catastrophe. It also says that after the collapse, the disgusting vocals of the Queen of Fake Notes were spread all over the planet. Not a song, but a cultist's dream!!!
Thank you for reacting to LOVEBITES. I really enjoyed your very thorough and interesting dissection and analysis of this song. LOVEBITES are one of the most musically talented metal bands on planet, and this song is one of several masterpieces they have in their catalogue.
LOVEBITES - A Frozen Serenade lyrics: Crystal tears Falling from the skies Veiling fears The emptiness inside Time is just passing by Killing me under the soft twilight A frozen melody Of doves and ravens dancing in melancholy A distant memory If only this snow could erase the pain I'd wake up in a serenade One life ends And one life begins Evanesce To our origins When I'm lost on my way Lead my heart and guide me with your grace A frozen melody Of doves and ravens dancing in melancholy A distant memory If only this snow could erase the pain I'd wake up in a serenade Just like a dream, just like a bird I'll keep on singing out Even if my voice cannot reach you Seasons may pass, but its beauty will never fade away All living things are precious and irreplaceable Just like a dream, just like a bird I'll keep on singing out Even if my voice cannot reach you White butterflies are fluttering under the silver sky If only I could wish to see you once more ----- lyrics: asami music: asami & Mao arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) & Mao album: Electric Pentagram 01/29/2020
Lovebites I have been following for a few years. They are great ambassadors to Japanese Power Metal. They love to wear white dresses and presenting such a positive vibe. Thank you for reacting to these talented ladies.
Wow, fantastic analysis. This is one of their best songs in every regard. You should also listen to Dystopia Symphony and Soldier Stands Solitarily, two more ridiculously technical and complex Lovebites songs. These ladies are constantly raising the bar.
@@evilvolts So what? It's still a great song worth analyzing. And I would also recommend the studio version of Soldier Stands Solitarily for that matter.
Lovebites can do everything. A Frozen Serenade is maybe the most beautiful live video i've ever seen. You may try Epilogue, a beautiful ballad (the 2019 live version is awesome) or Edge of the World 🤘🐺❤
What a great reaction. Lovebites does so many things in a song and to see someone who really knows music to analyze it all is just great. Cant wait to see more, maybe Edge of the World live next-that one has many transitions and it can be very interesting to see what Nina thinks about it...
I am amazed with the way you not just analyze, but understand the music, the structure and intention of the song. Thank you for this great reaction/analysis of this song that I love. Best regards!!
Awesome! It's not everyday we get such a wonderful and informative reaction, i really appreciate how much analysis you put into it!! This is one of my favorite songs from them and your knowledge really touches on all the key points that stand out in this song! I am a bit biased as im a big fan of Lovebites, but i do believe they are fantastic both in performing and writing their music! Thank you for checking them out, great reaction!! 👍
Great reaction - one of my top five Lovebites songs - always my favorite every time I hear it again! This is a mini-symphony in three parts. Amazing track, from an amazing band! More please! 🤘🎸🐺
I really enjoyed your analysis. Very deep and rich. There is a song that is imo very very musicaly incredible. It is Dystopia Symphony. References to beethoven sonatas. And the whole song is a tribute to beethoven, his anger and sorrow when he realised he was becoming deaf. I'm sure you'll have a hard work on this one to analyse it. But it really worth the effort.

This mega masterpiece it is my favorite song of LADIES. 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. 🐺🤘LOVEBITES 🤘🐺 the team of five thrashpower metal goddesses from Japan_Tokyo.

@@PaleHorseShabuShabu Eclecticism def._In art, literature, philosophy or scientific research: combining into one whole heterogeneous elements originating from different styles or doctrines» Queen_band Queen is also a combination of various musical genres. The band, which was formed in 1970 on the initiative of Freddie Mercury, Brian May and Roger Taylor, combined rock, funk and pop. Their sound is very diverse, making it difficult to describe it in one word. The musicians created multi-layered arrangements combined with vocal harmonies. In 2001, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and in 2007 they were recognized as the best British band of all time according to BBC Radio 2. Their most interesting song is definitely "Bohemian Rhapsody"= Lovebites "Edge Of The World", "Frozen Serenade", or "Swan Song". The same makes Lovebites but they go deeper, they in the manner uncompromising and even shameless combine metal with classical music not only rock. Especialy that is visible in suche songs like Swan Song, Frozen Serenade, Edge Of The World, Lost In Garden, Today Is The Day, Dystophia Symphony or even anthem of Lovebites and Wolfpack_We The United. There song with elements of heavy thrash, power meta. Raise Some Hell it is simply Rock n Roll and Inspire and Dancing With The Devil heavy metal, hard rock and A&B. One can write about it endless. Stay Safe. Stay Lovebites. The next song I suggest Epilogue _ballad Tokyo Live 2019.
@@PaleHorseShabuShabu Yes, but the scale of what these ladies do is beyond the capabilities of others. Each of them plays the piano, a requirement for respected musicians in Japan, and can compose and sing. They make everything effortless. See "We United". In their case, this is what makes this band unique.
I love when you do deeper dives into the music, and vocals. Incredible job Nina. This is only the second time I have heard Lovebites, they really are incredibly talented. I would love to hear you front a hard rock/metal band one time. Your voice is divine! Your gorgeous smile brightens even the darkest days. Thank you.
Thank you for your reaction to LOVEBITES.😀 That's a great analysis and impression.👍👍👍👍👍 LOVEBITES has about 60 songs. Their song list has a lot of songs that are very rewarding to analyze. Thank you for your continued support of LOVEBITES.🙏 P.S. Asami(Vo) has been studying classical ballet since the age of 2. After graduating from high school, she moved to the U.S. to study jazz and hip-hop dance. While studying in the U.S., she got hooked on singing when she sang the national anthem for a minor league baseball team, and after returning to Japan, she auditioned for various singing jobs. Originally, I was an R&B and soul singer. Miyako(G - Key ‐ Piano Black hair) started taking piano lessons at the age of 3. At the age of 18, she discovered the electric guitar.

Greetings Nina & thank you for attention to LOVEBITES. I have read most if not all comments, many complimentary, some not-so-much ... As one who is quite familiar with LOVEBITES' music and as drummer/guitarist, singer/songwriter, it is their compositions & arrangements that stand with their exceptional musicianship/performances that keeps me interested. In that context it is their myriad of 'transitions' throughout songs that fascinate & impress me. The detail/precision & drummer Haruna's unique (in my experience) use of quick-decay-cymbals mimicking/supporting the chords & vocal melody was being totally 'lost' in your method of tiny-segments "breakdown" of this complex musical piece. I support the idea suggested by another of listening in extended segments and backup after pause to retain the continuity/transitions, or to go back fully for that segment & "breakdown" on second pass. I admit I only made it to about 5 minutes in your video due to your method, focusing strongly on notes & chords, but that obscured, if not obliterated, those 'transitions' I find so important. It takes so much work to perfect such arrangements and is so demanding in precision-execution in LIVE-performance, I was disappointed. Although I am familiar with this song, I cannot imagine that anyone who is not familiar with it (including you) will get a grasp of what LOVEBITES intends to convey as a listening/viewing experience of this song's composition, arrangement & performance for their audience. I have seen others who watch/listen throughout, make notes & on second listen do all the stops, backups & analysis after hearing what was heard & seen in "real-time" of the performance. Just my experience of your approach to reaction & "In Depth Analysis". I do expect that, with 230,000+ subscribers, and that after 14 hours you have not responded to any comments, this comment/critique will go unnoticed/overlooked... I wish you well. 🐺 dreg👁
Thank you for trying to convey this information to Nina. I wouldn't have the patience for that. I also couldn’t watch this reaction in full. Maximum 7-8 minutes. In addition, I got the impression (I could be wrong) that Nina has only commercial purposes. It is possible that she is not interested in comments from viewers (the paradox is the lack of feedback from the viewers, which is very necessary for commercial success)...Therefore there are no answers. The large number of subscribers on this channel does not result in a large number of views on it (proportional to 236,000 subscribers). Based on my personal experience, I think that Nina will not delve too deeply into the discography of LOVEBITES. Perhaps she will still respond to one or more songs if they are ordered on "Pat.." I got the impression that for Nina LOVEBITES is one of the many bands and artists with which she wants to increase the number of subscribers. I don't blame her for this. This is just my opinion.
Since Asami writes the lyrics herself, I can see what she has inside her. She had a lot of love and confidence and always thought positively. That's wonderful, I think. The whole band is unique, in my opinion. Fantastic.
Thanks for your great analysis. It's always nice to see someone who has something really interesting to say about subject with such attention to detail.
Great analysis of an insanely talented band. Miyako and her classical piano training really influences all of their compositions. Asami writes most of the lyrics and Miyako does most of the composition and arrangements. She is a real savant with theory and messing influences into their songs. She decided at 18 to self teach guitar and go into metal that she feels is a true cousin of classic music. BTW if you want her piano skills on full display her piano LP with reworked metal songs is just sensational. I recommend Eagle Fly Free by Helloween th-cam.com/video/-h3BLRs0Xr4/w-d-xo.html she takes real metal classics and makes them classic piano pieces, just amazing. Her genius brain may come up with these great compositions but she needs her insanely talented band-mates to be able to play them especially LIVE!!!!
@susan, I always appreciate your enthusiasm for LOVEBITES & appropriate comments. I do want to bring your attention to "A Frozen Serenade" being written by Asami (lyrics) & Asami/Mao (music) who have written a significant % of LOVEBITES songs. Miyako is awesome, however, she writes music (no lyrics) for about half of their songs. Until her withdrawal, Miho wrote one-third of songs, all lyrics for those & music with Mao. I just want to see these wonderful songs 'credited' appropriately. The lyrics posts by whirled_peace have the lyric/music credits at the bottom & I have found them to be accurate. No offense intended. 🐺 dreg👁
@@dregeye Thanks for the heads up. My husband who got me into LB, he goes back to Show-Ya, already corrected me after my last post. BTW per him women are supposed to be more into Midori and not Miyako thus the reason for my misplaced fascination...LOL.
Appreciate your detailed and precise analysis. Yes, this is a good and complicated song that has lots of well written pieces. I think it is the guitarist Miyako that has written this one. Probably the singer Asami that has written the lyrics. Anyhow, it is a masterpiece. I hope it will survive the tooth of time and become a classic.
Wow Nina! What do I have to do to convince you to do a deep dive like that into a few more Lovebites songs? Name it! That would be amazing! That you for that! I found Lovebites not long after discovering Nightwish (a favorite to be sure), and Lovebites quickly became my favorite band. That was a wonderful reaction and analysis and I would love to see that for a few more. Your ability to translate anything to piano on the fly, or replicate something in voice, and hear pretty much everything going on is a real treasure. I appreciate it being applied here. They can go really heavy too, but I think for what you like I would suggest the three "E" songs, masterpieces all (Edge of the World, Empty Daydream, Epilogue), from their 2019 and 2020 performances. All with piano and multiple parts. I love Empty Daydream, but that's more of a standard song with backing vocals (which are great). All three have standout parts. I'm glad you found Lovebites and look forward to more!
In their metal genre powermetal/ Trash metal they are among Unleash the archers and BattleBeast. One of the current best ones in the world. Period.. Technicallity and songwriting crazy good. Hope you will analyze more songs from them.
When you look at this band from a Music Theory approach they are So Very Interesting. Many Classical uses of progressions and interludes,bars,etc... but they do it in a very uniquely modern way. Lovebites is Incredible.
Great analysis. I always knew that LOVEBITES put a lot of thought into their songs and arrangements. Good to see someone appreciate their efforts. So good to see Asami in her element and express her ballet training. 👏👏👏
Thank you for checking out and reviewing this. It is interesting, you started your Lovebites journey off with two of the songs most frequently referred to as masterpieces. How many true masterpieces are there in the history of rock? A dozen? Maybe twenty, max? I’m not talking about merely great songs. There may be a few hundred of those (out of millions of songs). A masterpiece is much more. It combines beautiful composition with brilliant execution. It tells a story, taking you through a range of emotions until it overwhelms you. For classical music fans, the iconic example is Beethoven’s 9th Symphony. The best example of something shorter and more comparable to a rock song, might be Ravel’s “Bolero”. Among actual rock songs, I would name “A Day in the Life” by the Beatles; “The End” by the Doors; “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen; “Kashmir” by Led Zeppelin; “Layla” by Derek and the Dominoes; “The Great Gig in the Sky” by Clare Torrey and Pink Floyd; “Starless” by King Crimson; and “Ghost Love Score” by Nightwish. Importantly. Many of the greatest rock groups never produced a masterpiece. Lovebites, in five short years, have given us several, and I think this rivals “Swan Song” as their greatest. Thank you again for featuring it.
The primary composer for the band is Miyako The guitarist on the right of the screen. She has a classical background and has Been a pianist most of her life from early childhood so she has a very strong grasp on music theory.
Great reaction. Many good observations and love how you break down the song musically. The lyrics are some of the best written. More like Joan Baez. This was from Electric Pentagram which was a winter release. Asami wanted a sad winter song with some acoustic guitar in it. She wrote a classis. Mao Yamamoto (Lightbringer) helps Asami compose songs. The song is definitely about having lost a loved one and missing them. About always speaking to them as a way to handle the grief. I think you were spot on.
Excellent analysis of this piece, which is a fully fledged production that only LOVEBITES could pull off this well. It was first penned in a comment 18 months ago, but this song is only missing one thing…the Bond movie to go with it.
This is my first time coming across your channel, and I love the reaction and the way you break everything down. So many people do reactions, but it is so rare to have an actual musician, somebody who gets the music, talking about the movements and the feelings, the chromatic shifts and everything. as a amateur vocalist, I really do appreciate that level of technical review that I just don’t get in a lot of places. I’m so glad you found Lovebites, and I am a new subscriber and look forward to more :-)
Wow, extremely cool hearing such an in-depth analysis.. absolutely going to be searching out more of your takes on Lovebites songs, they have an amazing catalogue
If you want to understand the SECRET of the UNIVERSE, LOVEBITES is the CLUE. The Universe is made of only 3 things : ENERGY, VIBRATION, FREQUENCY. Lovebites music compositions are made same as the Universe - they are ENERGY VIBRATING at different MELODY HARMONICS of FREQUENCIES....
It feels like you decided to test LOVEBITES for your ability to write and perform your own songs ... Maybe you needed to relax, forget about who you are ... and just get the ordinary human pleasure of listening to (watching) a great song?
@@boyzyu Hello Boyzyu! 🙏I'm glad to see you! 😊I respect you and therefore I will explain my point of view to you. I understand that every Reactor can do what he wants and how he wants on his channel. Over the course of 3.5 years, I saw many musicians, vocal teachers, opera singers, producers, etc. analyze LOVEBITES songs. As a rule, they carried out the analysis after checking the song. Or they took a few pauses (not many) while checking the song. A song is a whole piece of music. A song is not separate fragments that are torn from each other. I couldn't watch this reaction to the end. And I think I'm not alone. Please note that this Reactor, with 236,000 subscribers, has catastrophically few views under reactions (for such a huge number of subscribers). This says a lot. Although this is no longer my business. I wish good luck to this Reactor and this channel. We will meet with you under other reactions to LOVEBITES.🤝🤘🐺
As Lovebites fan, to me the bigger question one should as oneself is this: Is my comment a turn-off to reactors/reviewers to further engage with this band? This has been an issue for many reactors who I've reached out to, who shy away from Lovebites because of being scolded or lectured to. Do you think the Lovebites members would complain? This band needs and deserves all the exposure it can get. So for me, it is not about what I like or prefer. It's more like: what will benefit this exceptional band? My answer is that such analysis by such an experienced musician - with so many subscribers - can only benefit Lovebites.
Great analysis!. You are reacting with a lot of great singers. Asami the singer is also fantastic. She has beautiful voice. She is ballet dancer. She is great lyricist & storyteller. I think her strongest point is heart-warming humanity. Her message is always positive & uplifting. Your review also covers the lyrics、which is interesting. Asami-san is so loved by wolfpack. Lately、she has been trying out songs that are particularly physically difficult to sing. Is the burden on her throat OK? She is treasure of heavy metal scene.
Would love to see you react to more metal! Some bands I would recommend that I think you would enjoy are Kamelot, Galneryus, Seventh Wonder, Symphony X, Cross Vein, and Light Bringer.
This was a great breakdown of an even better song. I love the detail you brought to your analysis. You can tell when someone who understands music reacts to something like this.
Hello, nice to greet you and to be part of your channel. Greetings from a Spanish admirer, an old wolf of heavy metal. I loved your perfect, detailed analysis, from a technical and emotional point of view. It's been incredible. My analysis basically coincides with yours. Time seems frozen, because the melancholy of yesterday will be covered by the snowflakes of tomorrow, always within that mystical and ethereal snowy sphere, where Asami lives between sadness and hope. This band is magnificent and Asami, in addition to having wonderful beauty and talent, is a genius, for having composed something so profound and beautiful.
Im all for analysis, but not having the song run for more than 4 seconds at a time is not a song analysis, its basically just analysing single indepent notes. You can take the same amount of time in total to talk about things if you let it run for a bit to the next natural stopping point instead of stopping mid word or note.
The song is actually about the end of the world in a nuclear winter. All the hopeful-sounding lyrics are actually mourning the loss of everything. The lover who is gone is the world itself.
Where did you get that info? The only thing I’ve ever heard/read them say about this song is that they wanted a sad winter song because Electric Pentagram was releasing in the winter.
@@PaleHorseShabuShabu I heard it from a translation of an interview with Asami, but have not been able to find the original interview. The"sad winter song" is the most commonly quoted explanation, and perhaps both are true.
@@hiawatha.g I quoted the "sad winter song" explanation in an earlier comment, and it's what I'm going to go with. It's from Geki Rock's website where all five of the band members are interviewed about Electric Pentagram and they go through the album song by song. The sad winter song thing is said by Asami. She would know.
Why would she do that? Then all the attention will be on the terrible solo, not on her terrible thinking and attempts to pass herself off as someone with the right set of knowledge and specialized terminology.
Hi Nina, this reaction video has stirred up the attention of a malicious troll, and I feel it's imperative for you to be informed of the intricate details surrounding this issue. Firstly, the individual in question, a SINGLE troll, possesses a disconcerting history, having faced bans/blocks from 24 other reaction channels due to his disruptive behavior. His modus operandi involves the creation of numerous trolling YT accounts, meticulously crafted with the singular purpose of sowing chaos and confusion within online communities. This troll's focus isn't restricted merely to your channel; it extends to the Lovebites fanbase, encompassing the band itself, its devoted fans, and fellow reactors on TH-cam. His malicious actions serve to disrupt the harmony of discussions and foster discord among the community. Within the pinned comment section of your video, there exists four active trolling accounts. I know the user names of these four trolls. It's actually pretty obvious what they are. If you want me to give you a hint of who they are, let me know. Note that 3 of those accounts are "against" you as a reactor, and one of them pretends to "support" you. The disconcerting aspect lies in the deceptive interactions among these accounts within your pinned comment. Engaging in fabricated conversations and launching attacks against each other, their objective is to instigate confusion and chaos within the Lovebites fanbase. Furthermore, two additional trolling accounts have popped up in here that are recognized by the Lovebites community for their consistent efforts to terrorize reactions related to the band and they're "against" you. These accounts have appeared in the main body of your comments section as well as other comment threads. If you peruse through your entire comments section, it's also pretty obvious who they are. Recently, a new trolling account has also emerged. In a similar vein to previous instances, this account (who pretends to "support" you) participates in deceptive conversations and attacks, exacerbating the prevailing confusion and chaos. Again, let me know if you want a hint as to the identities of the last three trolling accounts (altogether seven trolling accounts so far). Therefore, I want to stress that you shouldn't worry about some of the negative posts, especially those in your pinned comment, because they're the work of a SINGLE vile troll with multiple trolling accounts. The decision regarding how to address this infiltration rests with you.
I think most of the hardcore Lowbuts fans are right, Nina is only interested in views and subscriptions and doesn't care about the rest. I'll go through every comment in detail again, analyze it, and let you know if I notice anything suspicious. There's probably more trolls than we realize. We need to bring the Word Bearer into our raid. As they say, "Three heads are better than one." 👍👍👍
@@boyzyu And where the hell is Nina? We have a difficult situation, trolls masquerading and disrupting the HARMONY OF DISCUSSION!!!! And this flighty girl is still nowhere to be seen. Women, what can you take from them.
The most annoying site on youtube! Let the track play out, then react! Dont need to hear the waffle in between the whole song, especially In the middle of solos. Please leave Lovebites off you're reaction list unless you can respect the ladies talent first, then you can react.....afterwards!
Give praise to your protector, my servants. I just banished a demonic entity with the power of the True Word!!!! Truly, the "goddesses" have summoned a succubus from the darkest depths of the underworld with their demonic consonances!!!!!
Her entire video consists of pauses accompanied by her amateurish and incompetent comments. How is she engaged in teaching if she has no hearing? She should have wiped the "goddesses" out, thanks to Asami, the Queen of Fake Notes. I'm not even taking into account the long-suffering duo of Midori and Miyako, which is a separate kind of masochism over the nervous system.
I have serious doubts ! Can such a superficial analysis fathom the multiple interpretation levels of such a masterpiece of metal music - which is able to generate deep emotions for anyone to enjoy ? What's the hidden secret beyond the view of each intellectual analysis ? Maybe the presentation of five interacting souls, expressing their feelings by voice modulation, micro-mimic expression, ballet movements, illumination reinforcements and so on, which is unexpectedly surprising and capturing . . . Switch off the neo-cortex.. . . . let your soul enjoy . . . .
@@evilvolts Same, I’m happy she’s taking a listen to this song, but this meandering nonsense from the op is obnoxious, and I can’t imagine it makes reactors want to return to the band when other fandoms are grateful for the exposure and analysis. Plus, would LOVEBITES want us griping at these reactors? I don’t pretend to know the band members, but I highly doubt it.
@@PaleHorseShabuShabu You are so delighted with this reaction that you do not want to see the objective shortcomings in this version of the analysis. When only short parts are considered separately, then perhaps such an analysis is good.For example, in order to learn the parts (chords, notes) and make your own cover of this song. But if you just check a live performance (video) of a song unfamiliar to you, then this option is not the best. Before breaking a song into a large number of parts, it would be good to listen to it in its entirety. At least once. And it is advisable to pay no less attention to what is happening on stage at this time (video). With the type of analysis that Nina used, the integrity of the musical pattern was almost completely lost. Much of the song's emotional content was also lost. Haven't you noticed this? Due to the fact that Nina tore A Frozen Serenade into a huge number of small parts ("broke" the song), for example, many nuances of Haruna's magnificent playing remained "unnoticed". @dregeye, wrote about this very well and professionally in his comment. Because of the pauses, the effect from Miyako's piano & Midori's acoustic guitar is almost completely neutralized. Haven't you noticed this? Miyako's piano & Midori's acoustic guitar & Asami's dance is one of the most key in this song, the cherry on the cake! Due to the large number of pauses, the visual effects that are noticeable when you watch the entire video without pauses are almost completely lost. Haven't you noticed that too? You attack those who have expressed doubt that this form of reaction is ideal to fully appreciate A Frozen Serenade (as a masterpiece!) and do not pay attention to the fact that many nuances have escaped the attention of the reactor. I watched this reaction carefully 2 times. During the second viewing, out of curiosity, I decided to count the number of pauses, as well as interruptions of the song and rollback a few seconds back. This happened 35 times. The duration of the song is 6 minutes 47 seconds. It turns out that on average the song was interrupted every 11-12 seconds.
@@mamoru1412 I’m not reading all of that. But yeah, I liked the analysis because I’m a musician and I like seeing other musicians doing musical things. This reaction qualifies.

Have you reacted to “The Warning “..rock band ???..
Crimson Glory "In Dark Places"
Excellent work Nina! Seen many of your videos and sure I asked a few times for you to check out Lovebites. SO GLAD YOU DID, that was a great breakdown! Hopefully more on the horizon!
Your acting didn't impress. I don't see sincerity, it's a shame that few reactors can actually get into the divine music of Lovebites.
I like your analisis of this song and have to compliment you about your musicality and very good ears, really impressive how quick you break down all the parts in this song. If I may have a little point of citisism; a lot of people like to hear the solo's unbroken and it would be nice if you first listen a certain part of the song and then go back to break it down into the parts you want to analyze. That would be a bit nicer for the listeners.
I like when real musicians react to Lovebites because you really appreciate their music proficiency. Thanks for spreading the word because these women deserve more recognition.
Wow.. impressive detail analysis. That was what Lovebites kept fighting for. The quality of songs and musicianship. Seriously written. That makes me more proud of Lovebites (members and crews). Thanks sis 👍👍❤️🤘
for me, Asami is the living poetry❤
long live LOVEBITES🔥🤘
thank you for your deep analysis 🙏
Your detailed analysis was very interesting.
LOVEBITES has other songs that are worth analyzing, and I look forward to more in the future!
From a LOVEBITES fan in Japan.
A masterpiece from the ladies! My favorite band!❤. Thank you for your reaction!
Awesome breakdown and analysis of a masterpiece from Lovebites ! This track showcases just how versatile and talented these ladies are. Personally, the lyrics are open to interpretation. There are 2 main schools of thought - (1) Asami wanted a sad winter ballad for their third album, "Electric Pentagram", or (2) the song is about a nuclear winter. Either way, Asami co-composed and wrote the lyrics for this song.
Any clue where the nuclear winter theory comes from?
@@PaleHorseShabuShabu It was mentioned in an article that was written by a music reviewer from a UK magazine called the midlands rock. He was reviewing "Electric Pentagram" back in 2020.
@@boyzyu Interesting. I’ve never heard that before clicking on this video. I’ve always gone with what I read from Asami herself.
@@PaleHorseShabuShabu I know the sad winter ballad theory was attributed to Asami, but I can't find an actual quote from her in any article. Do you know of one where she was directly quoted ? If so, that would certainly answer the question definitively.
This song is about how the destructive consonances of Lowbuts drove most of the world's population insane and made them cultists, thus pushing the world towards catastrophe. It also says that after the collapse, the disgusting vocals of the Queen of Fake Notes were spread all over the planet. Not a song, but a cultist's dream!!!
Thank you for reacting to LOVEBITES. I really enjoyed your very thorough and interesting dissection and analysis of this song. LOVEBITES are one of the most musically talented metal bands on planet, and this song is one of several masterpieces they have in their catalogue.
LOVEBITES - A Frozen Serenade lyrics:
Crystal tears Falling from the skies
Veiling fears The emptiness inside
Time is just passing by
Killing me under the soft twilight
A frozen melody
Of doves and ravens dancing in melancholy
A distant memory
If only this snow could erase the pain
I'd wake up in a serenade
One life ends
And one life begins
Evanesce
To our origins
When I'm lost on my way
Lead my heart and guide me with your grace
A frozen melody
Of doves and ravens dancing in melancholy
A distant memory
If only this snow could erase the pain
I'd wake up in a serenade
Just like a dream, just like a bird
I'll keep on singing out
Even if my voice cannot reach you
Seasons may pass, but its beauty will never fade away
All living things are precious and irreplaceable
Just like a dream, just like a bird
I'll keep on singing out
Even if my voice cannot reach you
White butterflies are fluttering under the silver sky
If only I could wish to see you once more

Lovebites I have been following for a few years. They are great ambassadors to Japanese Power Metal. They love to wear white dresses and presenting such a positive vibe. Thank you for reacting to these talented ladies.
Wow, fantastic analysis. This is one of their best songs in every regard. You should also listen to Dystopia Symphony and Soldier Stands Solitarily, two more ridiculously technical and complex Lovebites songs. These ladies are constantly raising the bar.
they only have Dystopia Symphony in Audio no video or live of it.
@@evilvolts So what? It's still a great song worth analyzing. And I would also recommend the studio version of Soldier Stands Solitarily for that matter.
Love Lovebites 🐺🤘🏴
my favourite one of them. pausing was necessary for a proper breakdown/analysis of this real masterpiece, because so much is happening. thank you.
Lovebites can do everything. A Frozen Serenade is maybe the most beautiful live video i've ever seen. You may try Epilogue, a beautiful ballad (the 2019 live version is awesome) or Edge of the World 🤘🐺❤
What a great reaction. Lovebites does so many things in a song and to see someone who really knows music to analyze it all is just great. Cant wait to see more, maybe Edge of the World live next-that one has many transitions and it can be very interesting to see what Nina thinks about it...
This is the very best breakdown and analysis of a Lovebites performance that I've seen. Outstanding work! Instant subscription. Thank you! ❤
Lovebites are so talented, their masterpieces are very impressive, in June this year they will tour Europe.. you can check out their songs and react

very interesting and knowledgeable in-depth breakdown analysis of the song and instrumentals, Coach Nina. keep up the good work.
Awesome! It's not everyday we get such a wonderful and informative reaction, i really appreciate how much analysis you put into it!!
This is one of my favorite songs from them and your knowledge really touches on all the key points that stand out in this song!
I am a bit biased as im a big fan of Lovebites, but i do believe they are fantastic both in performing and writing their music!
Thank you for checking them out, great reaction!! 👍
Great reaction - one of my top five Lovebites songs - always my favorite every time I hear it again! This is a mini-symphony in three parts. Amazing track, from an amazing band! More please! 🤘🎸🐺
I really enjoyed your analysis. Very deep and rich.
There is a song that is imo very very musicaly incredible. It is Dystopia Symphony.
References to beethoven sonatas. And the whole song is a tribute to beethoven, his anger and sorrow when he realised he was becoming deaf. I'm sure you'll have a hard work on this one to analyse it. But it really worth the effort.
I agree even as just an Audio it's incredible and would love to see them one day complete it live to see.

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.

"WE ARE LOVEBITES AND WE PLAY HEAVYYYY METAAAAL!!!"
Stay safe. Stay Lovebites.
“They play eclectic metal.”
That line is hilarious.
@@PaleHorseShabuShabu
Eclecticism def._In art, literature, philosophy or scientific research: combining into one whole heterogeneous elements originating from different styles or doctrines»
Queen_band
Queen is also a combination of various musical genres. The band, which was formed in 1970 on the initiative of Freddie Mercury, Brian May and Roger Taylor, combined rock, funk and pop. Their sound is very diverse, making it difficult to describe it in one word. The musicians created multi-layered arrangements combined with vocal harmonies. In 2001, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and in 2007 they were recognized as the best British band of all time according to BBC Radio 2. Their most interesting song is definitely "Bohemian Rhapsody"= Lovebites "Edge Of The World", "Frozen Serenade", or "Swan Song".
The same makes Lovebites but they go deeper, they in the manner uncompromising and even shameless combine metal with classical music not only rock. Especialy that is visible in suche songs like Swan Song, Frozen Serenade, Edge Of The World, Lost In Garden, Today Is The Day, Dystophia Symphony or even anthem of Lovebites and Wolfpack_We The United. There song with elements of heavy thrash, power meta. Raise Some Hell it is simply Rock n Roll and Inspire and Dancing With The Devil heavy metal, hard rock and A&B. One can write about it endless. Stay Safe. Stay Lovebites. The next song I suggest Epilogue _ballad Tokyo Live 2019.
@@marcinpopawski8199 So . . . damn near any modern band.
@@PaleHorseShabuShabu Yes, but the scale of what these ladies do is beyond the capabilities of others. Each of them plays the piano, a requirement for respected musicians in Japan, and can compose and sing. They make everything effortless. See "We United". In their case, this is what makes this band unique.
@@marcinpopawski8199 Beyond the capabilities of others? Um, you’re not a musician, are you?
I love when you do deeper dives into the music, and vocals. Incredible job Nina. This is only the second time I have heard Lovebites, they really are incredibly talented.
I would love to hear you front a hard rock/metal band one time. Your voice is divine!
Your gorgeous smile brightens even the darkest days. Thank you.
Thank you for your reaction to LOVEBITES.😀
That's a great analysis and impression.👍👍👍👍👍
LOVEBITES has about 60 songs.
Their song list has a lot of songs that are very rewarding to analyze.
Thank you for your continued support of LOVEBITES.🙏
P.S.
Asami(Vo) has been studying classical ballet since the age of 2.
After graduating from high school, she moved to the U.S. to study jazz and hip-hop dance.
While studying in the U.S., she got hooked on singing when she sang the national anthem for a minor league baseball team, and after returning to Japan, she auditioned for various singing jobs.
Originally, I was an R&B and soul singer.
Miyako(G - Key ‐ Piano Black hair) started taking piano lessons at the age of 3.
At the age of 18, she discovered the electric guitar.

Thank you Nina for the LoveBites reaction, the musical break downs were excellent, looking forward to the next reaction.
Great to see a more in-depth analysis of a Lovebites song.
Greetings Nina & thank you for attention to LOVEBITES. I have read most if not all comments, many complimentary, some not-so-much ... As one who is quite familiar with LOVEBITES' music and as drummer/guitarist, singer/songwriter, it is their compositions & arrangements that stand with their exceptional musicianship/performances that keeps me interested.
In that context it is their myriad of 'transitions' throughout songs that fascinate & impress me. The detail/precision & drummer Haruna's unique (in my experience) use of quick-decay-cymbals mimicking/supporting the chords & vocal melody was being totally 'lost' in your method of tiny-segments "breakdown" of this complex musical piece.
I support the idea suggested by another of listening in extended segments and backup after pause to retain the continuity/transitions, or to go back fully for that segment & "breakdown" on second pass. I admit I only made it to about 5 minutes in your video due to your method, focusing strongly on notes & chords, but that obscured, if not obliterated, those 'transitions' I find so important. It takes so much work to perfect such arrangements and is so demanding in precision-execution in LIVE-performance, I was disappointed.
Although I am familiar with this song, I cannot imagine that anyone who is not familiar with it (including you) will get a grasp of what LOVEBITES intends to convey as a listening/viewing experience of this song's composition, arrangement & performance for their audience.
I have seen others who watch/listen throughout, make notes & on second listen do all the stops, backups & analysis after hearing what was heard & seen in "real-time" of the performance.
Just my experience of your approach to reaction & "In Depth Analysis".
I do expect that, with 230,000+ subscribers, and that after 14 hours you have not responded to any comments, this comment/critique will go unnoticed/overlooked...
I wish you well.
🐺 dreg👁
Thank you for trying to convey this information to Nina. I wouldn't have the patience for that. I also couldn’t watch this reaction in full. Maximum 7-8 minutes.
In addition, I got the impression (I could be wrong) that Nina has only commercial purposes.
It is possible that she is not interested in comments from viewers (the paradox is the lack of feedback from the viewers, which is very necessary for commercial success)...Therefore there are no answers.
The large number of subscribers on this channel does not result in a large number of views on it (proportional to 236,000 subscribers). Based on my personal experience, I think that Nina will not delve too deeply into the discography of LOVEBITES. Perhaps she will still respond to one or more songs if they are ordered on "Pat.."
I got the impression that for Nina LOVEBITES is one of the many bands and artists with which she wants to increase the number of subscribers. I don't blame her for this. This is just my opinion.
Since Asami writes the lyrics herself, I can see what she has inside her. She had a lot of love and confidence and always thought positively. That's wonderful, I think. The whole band is unique, in my opinion. Fantastic.
Thanks for your great analysis. It's always nice to see someone who has something really interesting to say about subject with such attention to detail.
Great analysis of an insanely talented band. Miyako and her classical piano training really influences all of their compositions. Asami writes most of the lyrics and Miyako does most of the composition and arrangements. She is a real savant with theory and messing influences into their songs. She decided at 18 to self teach guitar and go into metal that she feels is a true cousin of classic music. BTW if you want her piano skills on full display her piano LP with reworked metal songs is just sensational. I recommend Eagle Fly Free by Helloween th-cam.com/video/-h3BLRs0Xr4/w-d-xo.html she takes real metal classics and makes them classic piano pieces, just amazing. Her genius brain may come up with these great compositions but she needs her insanely talented band-mates to be able to play them especially LIVE!!!!
@susan, I always appreciate your enthusiasm for LOVEBITES & appropriate comments.
I do want to bring your attention to "A Frozen Serenade" being written by Asami (lyrics) & Asami/Mao (music) who have written a significant % of LOVEBITES songs. Miyako is awesome, however, she writes music (no lyrics) for about half of their songs. Until her withdrawal, Miho wrote one-third of songs, all lyrics for those & music with Mao.
I just want to see these wonderful songs 'credited' appropriately. The lyrics posts by whirled_peace have the lyric/music credits at the bottom & I have found them to be accurate. No offense intended.
🐺 dreg👁
@@dregeye Thanks for the heads up. My husband who got me into LB, he goes back to Show-Ya, already corrected me after my last post. BTW per him women are supposed to be more into Midori and not Miyako thus the reason for my misplaced fascination...LOL.
Appreciate your detailed and precise analysis. Yes, this is a good and complicated song that has lots of well written pieces. I think it is the guitarist Miyako that has written this one. Probably the singer Asami that has written the lyrics. Anyhow, it is a masterpiece. I hope it will survive the tooth of time and become a classic.
Wow Nina! What do I have to do to convince you to do a deep dive like that into a few more Lovebites songs? Name it! That would be amazing! That you for that! I found Lovebites not long after discovering Nightwish (a favorite to be sure), and Lovebites quickly became my favorite band. That was a wonderful reaction and analysis and I would love to see that for a few more. Your ability to translate anything to piano on the fly, or replicate something in voice, and hear pretty much everything going on is a real treasure. I appreciate it being applied here. They can go really heavy too, but I think for what you like I would suggest the three "E" songs, masterpieces all (Edge of the World, Empty Daydream, Epilogue), from their 2019 and 2020 performances. All with piano and multiple parts. I love Empty Daydream, but that's more of a standard song with backing vocals (which are great). All three have standout parts. I'm glad you found Lovebites and look forward to more!
In their metal genre powermetal/ Trash metal they are among Unleash the archers and BattleBeast. One of the current best ones in the world.
Period..
Technicallity and songwriting crazy good.
Hope you will analyze more songs from them.
Asami the vocalist is a trained ballet dancer!
She's actually serenading on the last parts of the lyrics😀
When you look at this band from a Music Theory approach they are So Very Interesting. Many Classical uses of progressions and interludes,bars,etc... but they do it in a very uniquely modern way. Lovebites is Incredible.
Great Musicans and great reaction. ❤❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘🤘
Great analysis. I always knew that LOVEBITES put a lot of thought into their songs and arrangements. Good to see someone appreciate their efforts. So good to see Asami in her element and express her ballet training. 👏👏👏
Thank you for checking out and reviewing this. It is interesting, you started your Lovebites journey off with two of the songs most frequently referred to as masterpieces. How many true masterpieces are there in the history of rock? A dozen? Maybe twenty, max? I’m not talking about merely great songs. There may be a few hundred of those (out of millions of songs). A masterpiece is much more. It combines beautiful composition with brilliant execution. It tells a story, taking you through a range of emotions until it overwhelms you. For classical music fans, the iconic example is Beethoven’s 9th Symphony. The best example of something shorter and more comparable to a rock song, might be Ravel’s “Bolero”. Among actual rock songs, I would name “A Day in the Life” by the Beatles; “The End” by the Doors; “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen; “Kashmir” by Led Zeppelin; “Layla” by Derek and the Dominoes; “The Great Gig in the Sky” by Clare Torrey and Pink Floyd; “Starless” by King Crimson; and “Ghost Love Score” by Nightwish. Importantly. Many of the greatest rock groups never produced a masterpiece. Lovebites, in five short years, have given us several, and I think this rivals “Swan Song” as their greatest. Thank you again for featuring it.
I would add Epica Kingdom of Heaven Part 3 live from Omega
The primary composer for the band is Miyako The guitarist on the right of the screen. She has a classical background and has Been a pianist most of her life from early childhood so she has a very strong grasp on music theory.
please don't pause when time to guitar solo. Cause the best part all of LOVEBITES song is the part guitar solo
Great great reaction and analysis👏🏻👏🏻
Gracias por apreciar este gran tema de mi banda favorita
🤟🏻🔥Wolfpack🐺Forever🔥🤘🏻
Great reaction. Many good observations and love how you break down the song musically. The lyrics are some of the best written. More like Joan Baez. This was from Electric Pentagram which was a winter release. Asami wanted a sad winter song with some acoustic guitar in it. She wrote a classis. Mao Yamamoto (Lightbringer) helps Asami compose songs.
The song is definitely about having lost a loved one and missing them. About always speaking to them as a way to handle the grief. I think you were spot on.
LOVEBITES🐺🔥最高🤘ナイスリアクション👍ありがとう！
Excellent analysis of this piece, which is a fully fledged production that only LOVEBITES could pull off this well. It was first penned in a comment 18 months ago, but this song is only missing one thing…the Bond movie to go with it.
And I’m guessing all those 18 months you’ve been working on your most idiotic comment.
James Bond from the Ali Express, with a gift from the salesman.
@Nina_Schofield Get out you inhuman creature!!! I have nothing to discuss with you, I don't care about your temptations and promises!!!!
@@ingopek5485 why hello again mr. ingopek, i see you are making noise again, bless your heart.
Thanks for taking a listen to my favorite LB song, Nina. Love to hear you play back the song, too.
This is my first time coming across your channel, and I love the reaction and the way you break everything down. So many people do reactions, but it is so rare to have an actual musician, somebody who gets the music, talking about the movements and the feelings, the chromatic shifts and everything. as a amateur vocalist, I really do appreciate that level of technical review that I just don’t get in a lot of places. I’m so glad you found Lovebites, and I am a new subscriber and look forward to more :-)
Thanks! Sometimes some reactions creates more substance and value than others, this is such a time so, Thanks again and keep on reacting.
Interesting to see a detailed breakdown of this amazing performance. Thanks for your analysis, hope you do more for Lovebites. 🐺🎶
More Lovebites pls 🙏🎸🎤🤍❤️🔥
Morning Nina
Wow, extremely cool hearing such an in-depth analysis.. absolutely going to be searching out more of your takes on Lovebites songs, they have an amazing catalogue
👌😀🤘🐺🤘🐺🤘🐺🤘🐺🤘🐺🤘❣
If you want to understand the SECRET of the UNIVERSE, LOVEBITES is the CLUE. The Universe is made of only 3 things : ENERGY, VIBRATION, FREQUENCY. Lovebites music compositions are made same as the Universe - they are ENERGY VIBRATING at different MELODY HARMONICS of FREQUENCIES....
Miho Miho Miho!
It feels like you decided to test LOVEBITES for your ability to write and perform your own songs ... Maybe you needed to relax, forget about who you are ... and just get the ordinary human pleasure of listening to (watching) a great song?
I believe she's not just a reactor, and as a musician, she dissects and analyzes songs on her channel.
@@boyzyu Hello Boyzyu! 🙏I'm glad to see you! 😊I respect you and therefore I will explain my point of view to you.
I understand that every Reactor can do what he wants and how he wants on his channel. Over the course of 3.5 years, I saw many musicians, vocal teachers, opera singers, producers, etc. analyze LOVEBITES songs. As a rule, they carried out the analysis after checking the song. Or they took a few pauses (not many) while checking the song. A song is a whole piece of music. A song is not separate fragments that are torn from each other.
I couldn't watch this reaction to the end. And I think I'm not alone. Please note that this Reactor, with 236,000 subscribers, has catastrophically few views under reactions (for such a huge number of subscribers). This says a lot. Although this is no longer my business. I wish good luck to this Reactor and this channel.
We will meet with you under other reactions to LOVEBITES.🤝🤘🐺
@@GrayFox14 See you at the next reaction !
@@GrayFox14 See you at the next reaction !
As Lovebites fan, to me the bigger question one should as oneself is this: Is my comment a turn-off to reactors/reviewers to further engage with this band? This has been an issue for many reactors who I've reached out to, who shy away from Lovebites because of being scolded or lectured to. Do you think the Lovebites members would complain? This band needs and deserves all the exposure it can get. So for me, it is not about what I like or prefer. It's more like: what will benefit this exceptional band? My answer is that such analysis by such an experienced musician - with so many subscribers - can only benefit Lovebites.
Great analysis!.
You are reacting with a lot of great singers.
Asami the singer is also fantastic.
She has beautiful voice.
She is ballet dancer.
She is great lyricist & storyteller.
I think her strongest point is heart-warming humanity.
Her message is always positive & uplifting.
Your review also covers the lyrics、which is interesting.
Asami-san is so loved by wolfpack.
Lately、she has been trying out songs that are particularly physically difficult to sing.
Is the burden on her throat OK?
She is treasure of heavy metal scene.
Would love to see you react to more metal! Some bands I would recommend that I think you would enjoy are Kamelot, Galneryus, Seventh Wonder, Symphony X, Cross Vein, and Light Bringer.
This was a great breakdown of an even better song. I love the detail you brought to your analysis. You can tell when someone who understands music reacts to something like this.
Hello, nice to greet you and to be part of your channel. Greetings from a Spanish admirer, an old wolf of heavy metal.
I loved your perfect, detailed analysis, from a technical and emotional point of view. It's been incredible.
My analysis basically coincides with yours. Time seems frozen, because the melancholy of yesterday will be covered by the snowflakes of tomorrow, always within that mystical and ethereal snowy sphere, where Asami lives between sadness and hope.
This band is magnificent and Asami, in addition to having wonderful beauty and talent, is a genius, for having composed something so profound and beautiful.
I appreciate a real musician's analysis. Heard just a brief taste of your own vocals as well. Loved that and your deep dive into Love Bites.
I'm thinking of someone who hadn't heard them going to the concert and seeing (and hearing) this.....
I pray someone puts a full orchestra behind this track one day.
That’s the magic of Miyako’s composition…
❤❤❤
@Nina_Schofield 😍
You should ask beautiful Asami (one & only voice), the song writer!!!😀😃
Wau, this must of had most pauses i ever witnessed from Nina. Lool
you're overdoing it with the pause, just enjoy it 🤘.
🤍💙
Im all for analysis, but not having the song run for more than 4 seconds at a time is not a song analysis, its basically just analysing single indepent notes. You can take the same amount of time in total to talk about things if you let it run for a bit to the next natural stopping point instead of stopping mid word or note.
The song is actually about the end of the world in a nuclear winter. All the hopeful-sounding lyrics are actually mourning the loss of everything. The lover who is gone is the world itself.
Where did you get that info? The only thing I’ve ever heard/read them say about this song is that they wanted a sad winter song because Electric Pentagram was releasing in the winter.
Actually, the song is about drunken figure skaters who freeze to death while skating. It was written in the same state of mind.
@@ingopek5485 just more noise
@@PaleHorseShabuShabu I heard it from a translation of an interview with Asami, but have not been able to find the original interview. The"sad winter song" is the most commonly quoted explanation, and perhaps both are true.
@@hiawatha.g I quoted the "sad winter song" explanation in an earlier comment, and it's what I'm going to go with. It's from Geki Rock's website where all five of the band members are interviewed about Electric Pentagram and they go through the album song by song. The sad winter song thing is said by Asami. She would know.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘
🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺
🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺❤❤❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘❄☃
すごく綺麗な方ですね(*'▽')
you destroyed the whole song
🐺LOVEBITES RULES🐺
There is no way you can fully enjoy and comprehend the quality of their music with earbuds...........
Too much talking, interrupting......I'm out
King of pause
日本の歌手ならAdoを聴いて欲しい。
今までやっていないのが不思議。
OMG do you ever let someone play a complete solo?
Why would she do that? Then all the attention will be on the terrible solo, not on her terrible thinking and attempts to pass herself off as someone with the right set of knowledge and specialized terminology.
Hi Nina, this reaction video has stirred up the attention of a malicious troll, and I feel it's imperative for you to be informed of the intricate details surrounding this issue.
Firstly, the individual in question, a SINGLE troll, possesses a disconcerting history, having faced bans/blocks from 24 other reaction channels due to his disruptive behavior. His modus operandi involves the creation of numerous trolling YT accounts, meticulously crafted with the singular purpose of sowing chaos and confusion within online communities.
This troll's focus isn't restricted merely to your channel; it extends to the Lovebites fanbase, encompassing the band itself, its devoted fans, and fellow reactors on TH-cam. His malicious actions serve to disrupt the harmony of discussions and foster discord among the community.
Within the pinned comment section of your video, there exists four active trolling accounts. I know the user names of these four trolls. It's actually pretty obvious what they are. If you want me to give you a hint of who they are, let me know. Note that 3 of those accounts are "against" you as a reactor, and one of them pretends to "support" you.
The disconcerting aspect lies in the deceptive interactions among these accounts within your pinned comment. Engaging in fabricated conversations and launching attacks against each other, their objective is to instigate confusion and chaos within the Lovebites fanbase.
Furthermore, two additional trolling accounts have popped up in here that are recognized by the Lovebites community for their consistent efforts to terrorize reactions related to the band and they're "against" you. These accounts have appeared in the main body of your comments section as well as other comment threads. If you peruse through your entire comments section, it's also pretty obvious who they are.
Recently, a new trolling account has also emerged. In a similar vein to previous instances, this account (who pretends to "support" you) participates in deceptive conversations and attacks, exacerbating the prevailing confusion and chaos.
Again, let me know if you want a hint as to the identities of the last three trolling accounts (altogether seven trolling accounts so far).
Therefore, I want to stress that you shouldn't worry about some of the negative posts, especially those in your pinned comment, because they're the work of a SINGLE vile troll with multiple trolling accounts. The decision regarding how to address this infiltration rests with you.
I think most of the hardcore Lowbuts fans are right, Nina is only interested in views and subscriptions and doesn't care about the rest. I'll go through every comment in detail again, analyze it, and let you know if I notice anything suspicious. There's probably more trolls than we realize. We need to bring the Word Bearer into our raid. As they say, "Three heads are better than one." 👍👍👍
Oh, the troll has shown up ! One of the accounts anyway 🤣😂 🤣😂 🤣😂
@@boyzyu Where? I haven't found anyone yet. Just the cultists and the noble Word Bearer with his sermon.
@@boyzyu And where the hell is Nina? We have a difficult situation, trolls masquerading and disrupting the HARMONY OF DISCUSSION!!!! And this flighty girl is still nowhere to be seen. Women, what can you take from them.
Yawnnnn.........
way to much analysis
Please, in future analyses let the song play for more than 10 seconds at a time .
The most annoying site on youtube! Let the track play out, then react! Dont need to hear the waffle in between the whole song, especially In the middle of solos. Please leave Lovebites off you're reaction list unless you can respect the ladies talent first, then you can react.....afterwards!
Give praise to your protector, my servants. I just banished a demonic entity with the power of the True Word!!!! Truly, the "goddesses" have summoned a succubus from the darkest depths of the underworld with their demonic consonances!!!!!
why hello again mr. ingopek, i see you are making noise again, so obtuse
Please please can you do Perrie new 1st single from little mix it’s called forget about us ❤❤🔥🔥👌🏻👌🏻🎉🎉
@-Nina_Schofield please do perrie new single u will love it
You can stop more often. It would be better
Her entire video consists of pauses accompanied by her amateurish and incompetent comments. How is she engaged in teaching if she has no hearing? She should have wiped the "goddesses" out, thanks to Asami, the Queen of Fake Notes. I'm not even taking into account the long-suffering duo of Midori and Miyako, which is a separate kind of masochism over the nervous system.
I have serious doubts ! Can such a superficial analysis fathom the multiple interpretation levels of such a masterpiece of metal music - which is able to generate deep emotions for anyone to enjoy ?
What's the hidden secret beyond the view of each intellectual analysis ?
Maybe the presentation of five interacting souls, expressing their feelings by voice modulation, micro-mimic expression, ballet movements, illumination reinforcements and so on, which is unexpectedly surprising and capturing . . .
Switch off the neo-cortex.. . . . let your soul enjoy . . . .
Or maybe let her react however she wants to react? I swear LOVEBITES fans are the worst.
@@PaleHorseShabuShabu I'm not complaining I'm happy she revisited Lovebites
@@evilvolts Same, I’m happy she’s taking a listen to this song, but this meandering nonsense from the op is obnoxious, and I can’t imagine it makes reactors want to return to the band when other fandoms are grateful for the exposure and analysis. Plus, would LOVEBITES want us griping at these reactors? I don’t pretend to know the band members, but I highly doubt it.
@@PaleHorseShabuShabu You are so delighted with this reaction that you do not want to see the objective shortcomings in this version of the analysis. When only short parts are considered separately, then perhaps such an analysis is good.For example, in order to learn the parts (chords, notes) and make your own cover of this song.
But if you just check a live performance (video) of a song unfamiliar to you, then this option is not the best.
Before breaking a song into a large number of parts, it would be good to listen to it in its entirety. At least once. And it is advisable to pay no less attention to what is happening on stage at this time (video). With the type of analysis that Nina used, the integrity of the musical pattern was almost completely lost. Much of the song's emotional content was also lost. Haven't you noticed this? Due to the fact that Nina tore A Frozen Serenade into a huge number of small parts ("broke" the song), for example, many nuances of Haruna's magnificent playing remained "unnoticed".
@dregeye, wrote about this very well and professionally in his comment.
Because of the pauses, the effect from Miyako's piano & Midori's acoustic guitar is almost completely neutralized. Haven't you noticed this? Miyako's piano & Midori's acoustic guitar & Asami's dance is one of the most key in this song, the cherry on the cake!
Due to the large number of pauses, the visual effects that are noticeable when you watch the entire video without pauses are almost completely lost. Haven't you noticed that too?
You attack those who have expressed doubt that this form of reaction is ideal to fully appreciate A Frozen Serenade (as a masterpiece!) and do not pay attention to the fact that many nuances have escaped the attention of the reactor.
I watched this reaction carefully 2 times. During the second viewing, out of curiosity, I decided to count the number of pauses, as well as interruptions of the song and rollback a few seconds back. This happened 35 times. The duration of the song is 6 minutes 47 seconds. It turns out that on average the song was interrupted every 11-12 seconds.
@@mamoru1412 I’m not reading all of that. But yeah, I liked the analysis because I’m a musician and I like seeing other musicians doing musical things. This reaction qualifies.
