Mi-Ya was Miyako's stage name just before she became a permanent member of Lovebites at which she reverted back to just Miyako. This song exemplifies just how musically diverse this band is. To me, it has a seamless blend of AOR/speed-power metal. BTW, you should check out the ladies killing this song LIVE.
Mi-Ya is Miyako before she became a permanent member of Lovebites.
You should’ve done the live version. Miya is Miyako.
LOVEBITES - Liar lyrics:
I always thought that you were my knight in shining armour
Took away my sorrow to feel I was your queen
Court jester
Hey I still can't believe you did this to me
Exiled from our castle as you crucified me
An executioner of every oath and vow of love
You played me
A sorcerer's enchanted spell's the iron maiden
And the ruler of my heart
You're just a liar
A slayer of the soul
Regret the day I ever looked inside of your eyes, yeah
You're just a liar
There's so much that I didn't wanna know
But then you let me go
Cause you're just a liar
I'm fallen
Still wondering why you'd wanna do this to me
Reminded though it's tormenting my sanity now
A blasphemy
Nothing but a facade, a fake reality spun
I wish that I could put this pain into a spell of
Blackest magic on your heart
You're just a liar
A slayer of the soul
Still can't believe it took so long to see your disguise, yeah
You're just a liar
There's so much that I didn't wanna know
But then you let me go
Cause you're just a liar
SOLO: miyako / both
You're just a liar
A slayer of the soul
Regret the day I ever looked inside of your eyes, yeah
You're just a liar
There's so much that I didn't wanna know
But then you let me go
No more
Just a lie
You're just a liar
A slayer of the soul
Still can't believe that it took so long to see
Through your disguise
You're just a liar
There's so much that I didn't wanna know but then
You let me go
Cause you're just a lie
SOLO: midori / both

lyrics: Dr U
music: miyako
arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami)
album: Awakening From Abyss 10/25/2017
Mi Ya is Miyako's old name
Thank you! That actually explains a lot 😂!!! I believe I said about the classical and piano influences at some point, as well as the Miyako feel, so I am really glad this appears to play out. It furthers my respect of her writing ability as well. It is interesting she is listed externally from Lovebites.... Aha, just Google'd and she was only support in 2016 until 2017, so I am guessing when this got produced therefore 😊
and the reason she is listed separately from the band in the writing credits is because she hadn't joined as a permanent member at this point.
@@BakaBroadcast Thanks for this "oldie" 😉 Rather than immediately suggesting a different song, I recommend the most recent rendition of "Liar" LIVE 2023: th-cam.com/video/YWHPfnJz2qk/w-d-xo.html in hopes that this link is available in Japan (Official Channel but here in USA). They thankfully released 4 LIVE songs each from Knockin' At Heaven's Gate I & II on Official Channel. It interests me that they chose this 'early' song from their extensive catalogue to be performed at their "Resurrection" event with Fami. Distinctly different intro, awesome LIVE energy throughout. Reaction-vid not necessary, although I expect your reaction in comparison, with band visuals included, could be of interest to your viewers. I resisted 'liking' this song due to the subject but now in my 4th year of "LoveBitten" I cannot but say it is another 'favorite'. The structure/arrangement & solos, twin-solo, Haruna's dynamic-drumming and Asami's stellar vocals keeps my interest start to finish.
Victor seems more tolerant of 'fan uploads' since the bassist auditions so I will offer some in future, but being unaware of what you have and have not heard it's a bit of a challenge of what to choose.

One of my favourites from the album. I thought you'd like it because it's melody-driven. I mean, most of their music is melody-driven to some extent, but this one particularly so. I'd probably put Scream for Me (also very melodic but heavier) top, and Hammer of Wrath (very thrashy) joint second with this. As already mentioned, the music was written by Miyako before she was a full member of the band.
Miyako wrote “Just a Liar” when she was still in her former band A Drop Of Joker! “Liar is a rearrangement of “Just a Liar”
Lyrics by Dr. U who is an American male friend of Miyako who lives in Japan.
Also watch the Live version, it’s even better!
Miyako brought this song from something she had with her previous band, A drop of joker. The song then was called Just a Liar.

ドロジョの頃のライヤーも良いですね。🎉ピアノが泣かせる。最近、大阪で同窓会してるし、個人活動に寛容なバンドなんで、スポットで再結成もあるかもしれません。
This is my favorite Lovebites song. They have another version called live from the Abyss. Very cool version as well. Great reaction!
A great track - you should check out their recent live performance of it. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
They also have a version with Fami Live at Knocking on Heavens Gate also Fami covers Hammer of Wrath without the Awakening instrumental at Knocking on Heaven's Gate.(1st song live since 2021 when Miho left they took a year Hiatus before returning and auditioning to get Fami, also 1st time live with Fami and Asami addresses the audience saying "We Are Back!!!" as the song starts)
FYI, there’s also a live version with Miho on bass. Live from the Abyss
@@BryanPedersen-vd6gy I know that I have suggested to many reactors they may want to react to both to compare the bass and see how great Miho was and why Fami has big shoes to fill. ]:)

This is one of my favorites from their first album. I don’t listen to LOVEBITES so much but I was first in the queue to get VIP tickets for San Francisco!
I also think the only better vocalist in the genre was R!N but she left, so… 🤷🏻♂️ I prefer Asaka’s style and her emotional range, but Asami is top tier whichever way you look at it. The detractors I hear don’t like her accent, which is a bit of an odd reaction to English in an operatic metal style. What do they expect, Freddie Mercury? Objectively, Asami is better… 😬
Fami was perhaps a catalyst for some new life. She is excellent herself but everyone lifted a level when she joined.
🤘🐺
Although I’ve been critical of certain Lovebites songs, Liar was never one of them. I feel the same way about Edge of the World, Scream for Me, and Burden of Time, all from the same album. None of which are my favorites, but all of which are good. By contrast, I think have more issue with the Judgement Day album, which can sort of feel more repetitive to some of the older albums. Having said that, songs like Soldier Stands Solitarily and Dissonance are some of the better songs overall.
Although I like Hammer of Wrath from the same Awakening album, I don’t prefer the vocals on that one (doesn’t play well to Asami’s vocal abilities, yet overall doesn’t come off as bad as Break the Wall and Thunder Vengeance), especially in contrast to the better vocals of Edge of the World (which fits Asami better) from the same album. Still a good song though, and one I recommend.
To me the best Lovebites songs are: A Frozen Serenade (especially the live version), Paranoia, Dystopia Symphony, Soldier Stands Solitarily, Dissonance, Judgement Day. Although three are from the Judgement Day album, I still have issues with the album as a whole regardless (like how the continuous uptempo drumming prevents some much needed deviation for that album).
