They are similar to those bands in that they are female from Japan. Lovebites is unique in that they sing all their songs in English and they have elite talent across the board with every band member. Lovebites won the 2018 Metal Hammer Golden Gods award for best new band.
You are sinking into the endless rabbit hole of J/Rock and J/Metal. Japanese women dominate the music scene in Japan. They are battle tested in their teens often and if you are not exceptional you won't make. LB are insanely talented and play a blend of old metal and classical music elevated to a whole new level. They wear their femininity proudly while writing, arranging and performing like the world class musicians they are. They are exceptional so anything especially LIVE will be amazing. Welcome from the Wolfpack (fan base) who promise these ladies will never disappoint you.
Glad to see you found Lovebites Becky. I'm an old metal head and Lovebites incorporate many of the elements of my favorite 80's metal - Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Helloween, Slayer, etc. They have many great live performances on TH-cam. Check out Holy War Live in Tokyo 2021 with lyrics, Swan Song +Chopin Intro (Five of a Kind) 2020, Break the Wall Live at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020, The Awaking The Hammer of Wrath Live.
This phenomenal band has invigorated and further developed Metal in many ways. Flawless songbook, brilliant live shows and unparalleled musicianship - they have set themselves the highest standards and never fail to (stand and) deliver. We - the Wolf Pack - should be grateful to have this band in our lives.
Japanese girl rock band 30 years ago, pop rock band princess princess hard rock band It started with SHOW-YA. And now as a professional About 30 to 50 groups of Japanese girl rock bands are major, There are about 20 professional women's hard rock bands.

From Japan, they named the band after the Grammy winning Halestorm song, Love Bites (So Do I). Lead singer , Asami, has joined Lzzy and the boys onstage to perform that song. At 2019 Download. Miyako and Midori(blonde pony tail) on guitar. Haruna on drums. And new bassist Fami seen here, she joined in Oct 2022. Original bassist, and band co-founder, Miho left in 2021. Some songs lean towards power metal, some towards thrash, and some ballads. Awesome live videos too. Try Holy War, Thunder Vengeance, or Swan Song(with Chopin piano intro), all live at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020.
Thank you for this reaction video. Lovebites has been around since 2016, and the women became more famous worldwide after performing at several major festivals, mainly in Europe, starting in 2018. 2018 - Wacken - Open Air in Germany 2018 - Bloodstock Open Air in England 2019 - Graspop Metal Meeting Festival in Belgium 2019 - Download Festival in Spain In 2020, their career was abruptly interrupted by Corona. But they masterfully overcame the crisis, got married and had babies. In 2021 the founder Miho left the band for personal reasons and it went into a hiatus which lasted until the end of 2022. In the fall of 2022 they found a young fantastic bass player and in 2023 they released a new LP. The new LP reached the 5th place in the Japanese charts. Japan is the 2nd largest music market in the world and it is very rare that in these times a rock band comes so far forward.

How good are Lovebites? I’m 63. I live on a narrowboat on a canal in the U.K. I heard Lovebites for 30 seconds two years ago and bang…favourite band. Their virtuosity is patently obvious in every song they have ever written…and that’s now approximately 60. So in 2023 I’ve already flown to Japan for the first time in my life, and I’m flying back again in September. 1 gig under my belt in Tokyo already, 1 in Sapporo and 1 in Osaka to look forward to in September. I’m far from wealthy, but if you love something enough, you concentrate your resources on it. For me that’s Lovebites. Best band in rock history. No arguments. I will continue to travel to any country on earth where they play, provided I can get a ticket and until I’m eating out of dustbins…..
This ain't no rabbit hole but a gold mine filled with nuggets and also lots of rare gems hidden away but if you look hard you will find them, welcome, enjoy the ride, Japanese music is just so varied, lovebites is my vice I just need to hear at least 1 of their songs a day to get through, luv from New Zealand
Ah .... this is the second music video with their new bass player Fami. They have had a year or so down since their previous bass player Miho left. The first one, with this set up, is Judgement day. Also good. With the previous set up I think they have 50 original songs or so, most of them very good. But here is a list of songs I really like, all are live * Break the Wall * Holy War * Raise some hell * Set the world on fire * Swan song (with Chopin intro) * The awakening - hammer of wrath * Thunder Vengenance I mean - there are more - they have been very productive. It is the dark haired guitar player that writes all the songs.
Babymetal, Band-Maid, Lovebites - it's a great intro to the wonderful world of all-female or female-led Japanese Rock and Metal and hopefully you'll be exploring more of all those bands' work. They are making all the best 21st century music. Have to recommend a few more, starting with Nemophila...and Asterism...and Aldious...Hanabie...Atarashii Gakko...Wagakki Band...and the list goes on!

A lot of people in the comments will throw around “best this” and “best that” about this band, but that’s just a fanboyish non-musician way of saying LOVEBITES is their favorite. There’s a lot of rock and metal groups from Japan that have a high level of skill and LOVEBITES is definitely one of them. They deserve a lot of praise and attention and should have a lot more subscribers. I’m glad you liked them and liked the video, and I hope you’ll do more. The video for “Judgement Day” is their second most recent video and is a killer song, and “Holy War” and “Swan Song” are common next steps for reactors.
You are correct that many people use the word "best" as a euphemism for "favourite". But what I can say is objectively true, is that LOVEBITES has more collective musical talent than almost any other metal (or rock) band in the world. In fact, the only metal band I'm aware of that could play the entire LOVEBITES catalogue is Dream Theater. It is possible there are others, but I don't know of them. Feel free to educate me if you are aware of any other band that could play the entire LOVEBITES catalogue.
@@1970Phoenix This is what I'm talking about. Despite what others might think, given enough time to learn the parts, musicians can cover other musicians. I know because I've covered Van Halen, Jimi Hendrix, and Joe Satriani on guitar, Yes and Iron Maiden on bass, and Rush, Pink Floyd, and Dream Theater on both instruments and done it live. Hell, since you're aware of Dream Theater, I played "Pull Me Under" and "Metropolis" on bass in my high school talent show after playing for a little under three years. Does that somehow mean I'm as skilled as those respective musicians? No, of course not. That would be stupid. All it means is that I put in the time and effort to learn the techniques that they use and I know what order to put them in. Music isn't a competition. "Better" and "best" are bullshit terms that, as I said, just mean "favorite" when it comes to comments about musicians. The sooner you understand that the better; you also need to work on your understanding of "objectively."
@@PaleHorseShabuShabu Respectfully I disagree. It's not only about learning the parts, its also about first developing a certain level of technical mastery, which comes after thousands of hours of disciplined practice. If you don't have the technical skill to play a piece of music on an instrument, then learning how to play it won't be possible. Music isn't a competition if you are playing or listening for pleasure. But it absolutely is (or at least can be) a competition in certain contexts. Otherwise, on what basis could any music college grade their students? It is objectively true that some musicians are more skilled than other musicians. Then logically, bands with more technically skilled musicians have (by definition) more technical skill within that band. LOVEBITES have songs in their catalogue that very, very few other bands could play, even with 12 months of practice. The best example is Swan Song with the Chopin Introduction. My understanding of the word "objectively" is correct. The technical mastery of an instrument, just like any physical skill, can be assessed and measured. It is independent on anyone's personal opinion.
@@1970Phoenix You act like playing an instrument is some mysterious, labyrinthine thing that's only attainable to a select few. While it's true that the four instrumentalists in LOVEBITES are highly-skilled musicians, acting like they're some pinnacle of their instruments is where we part ways. Ever watch the channel Dicodec? They've said several times that you can practice guitar for fifteen minutes a day and get good if you practice the right way. LOVEBITES are not on a peak, they're on a plateau, and they're not alone. You asked what bands could play LOVEBITES songs? Sticking with just the rock and metal scene in Japan, I have zero doubt that the appropriate instrumentalists from Galneryus, Wagakki Band (including Yuko on piano), BAND-MAID, Unlucky Morpheus, Babymetal's Kami Band(s), Asterism, Paranoid Void, D_Drive, Nemophila, and Gacharic Spin could play LOVEBITES' songs and that LOVEBITES could play their songs. Since I just listened to them, I'll throw in Canada's Unleash the Archers, too. And yeah, you do need to work on your understanding of the word "objectively." Cambridge defines it as "in a way that is based on facts and not influenced by personal beliefs or feelings." Everything you've said is based on personal feelings and is devoid of facts. Remember when I asked you what metric you were using to declare LOVEBITES as the greatest musicians that have ever lived? You didn't reply with any substance then, and you're not doing it now.
Plenty more to dig into with all the Japanese bands you’ve discovered…for Lovebites try Swan Song with Chopin intro (live), Judgement Day, Empty Daydream (live), Rising (live), Frozen Serenade (live) and really pretty much anything else :)
Lovebites is power metal of the finest style from Tokyo/Japan - absolutely stunning artists on their instruments! Asami is the vocalist, Haruna on drums, Fami (new) on bass and the gorgeous M&M pack, Midori (all kinds of guitars - mostly blonde) and Miyako (guitar and piano/keyboards - mostly black hair)!
I knew you would love these Ladies!!!! One of my favs is their M/V (When Destinies Align), quite fast and great guitar solos. Any of their songs will not disappoint you!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulation on your finding this treasure band in Japan and thank you for your great reaction. I really enjoyed it. If you would dive into this band more deeply I'm sure your completely attracted with them. Actually they have only masterpieces and no bad song. Especially their live performance is incredible. Please check also "Glory to the world"(MV), "Holy War"(LIVE), "Scream for me"(Studio Live", "Set the world on Fire"(LIVE), "Break the Wall"(LIVE), "Judgement day"(MV) ...so many recommendations.
"That was the most epic guitar solo ever" You will repeat that sentence very often if you listen to more Lovebites 😂 (you barely scratched the surface 😉) For Lovebites at "full throttle" I recommend the live version of "Set the World on Fire" or the title track of their new album "Judgement Day" . Welcome to the Wolfpack! 🐺 Enjoy the ride! 🤘
Loved your reaction. I think you'll love this band if you like high energy and guitar solos galore. I so hope that they come back to tour in the UK soon. 🤘🤘
You said that you love guitar solos. So, now you have the right address - every Lovebites' song has amazing solos and almost always it is duoling solos. You discovered an amazing band. They are really talented. All their songs are really different, but all of them are perfect. You can pick any song and it will be awesome. Try their live performances. I recommend you the songs "Holy war" and "Set the world on fire" on their official TH-cam channel. You will be impressed. Thank you for your reaction. It was cool. More Lovebites on the channel!
Many rock/metal bands coming out of Japan and many are really good but lovebites are on a different level. Listen to recommendations from the wolfpack and won't go wrong. Once bitten forever smitten. 🤘🎸🥁🎹🎤🐺🇬🇧
And that was the RIGHT reaction ! Although this is a good " introduction " to Lovebites they are a MUCH better band live ( unlike some who can only produce it in the studio ) They are without doubt currently the best metal band on the planet and hopefully when you start to check out some of their other songs you'll agree . Their back catalogue is both extensive and superb and if you love guitar solos then this was but a gentle introduction to what they are really capable of ( and not too shabby for two guitarists who didn't start playing until their very late teens ! ) Enjoy - look forward to you doing more Lovebites reactions in the future
Lovebites and Band-Maid are my top bands at the moment. These beautiful women are just such good musicians and I love the musically complex songs. The show of their talent and skill every single time. There's something about the female singers I really like too. There's a few males but not many right now. If you want to go further down the Japanese path of music I’d also recommend (my favorites) BRATS (Doudatte yokatta), Ado (Gira Gira), Polkadot Stingray (Kamikaze Douga "Keshin"), Glim Spanky (愚か者たち).
Ok you have done Babymetal, Band Maid and Lovebites. You need to hit the other quick rising and hard hitting J-Metal female band, Nemophila. Great thing about all these bands are they are all superb but all different. Lovebites duo of Midori and Miyako on guitar are simply amazing. Nemophila also has incredible dual shredders in Saki and Hazuki as well. Funny thing is the fan bases overlap. Nothing but respect for all these ladies. Hell Saki and Miyako are even close friends. Hit up the song Adabana here: th-cam.com/video/AxYiOwsu6wU/w-d-xo.html
The Rolls Royce of Japanese female Rock and Metal bands.. There are so many brilliant all female bands from Japan, but Lovebites is just up there.. Do some more they are great value.. Best wishes from France.
Bad Ass is a fitting description. These Women Are Completely Bad Ass. The sum of their Total is Amazing. Virtuoso musicians working together like a single minded Team and doing so better than most whom have come before them. Then factor in their Uplifting Performance and Fast paced writing and Wham!. Wolfpack.
If you love guitar solos, then you‘ve found your new favorite band 🎸 Only 60 songs more to go with mostly even more epic solos than in this song. Wait until you‘ve seen them harmonizing with each other. Or Miyako, the dark haired guitarist, throws in her piano skills 🎹
So many great live videos for you to see my dear. They will all blow you away. The talent of these women is unbelievable. Please try 'Scream For Me' or 'Holy War', or for a ballad 'Epilogue'. All the live versions of course.
Thanks for responding to LOVEBITES. Please continue to support LOVEBITES. The mic stand setting that Miyako(G-Piano-Black hair) used was too high for Asami(Vo). Haruna(Dr) imitated the guitar work of Miyako & Midori's solo performance of "Signs of Deliverence" at the live concert. Haruna may have been watching from the drum position and thought it was cool. Asami & Haruna is cute.
Ah. Dimash and now Lovebites. As a Dear and a Wolfpack member, I'll have to subscribe now. I wouldn't have discovered either without somebody nudging me to look at reactions during the lockdown in 2020 . You've barely scratched the surface of what you've been missing. Lovebites shine even more brightly live.
So Becky, now watch them in a proper live performance, ‘Holy War’ or ‘Swan Song’ to get the full experience. Their songs are in English although Asami the lead singer has a rather thick accent. Her english is way better than my Japanese though so thats no criticism. IMHO the best metal band of the last few years and if you love a good guitar solo then this is definitely the band for you.
You want a epic guitarsolo from Lovebites. The song When Destinies Align. Live version is awesome but I recommend the MV version that in my taste is better!
Might I suggest a band called Show Ya. Japanese female metal-first formed in 1981, stopped in 1998 and reformed in 2005 for a 25th anniversary tour with original line up and are STILL working. They host annual festival for the newer woman fronted bands every April that includes short sets from each band and then all star showcases of the member of all the bands. So if you wonder what your nan or mom would have looked like in an 80;s metal band then and now... MIght I suggest the 2022 live version of Fairy in the pouring rain?
Congratulations for your discovery, these ladies are a total badasses.. I seriously think they can outplay any band from the past, present and future, men or women.. Go check out their live performances.. They're even more badass live..
Congratulations, your Japanese metal journey has brought you to the best new metal band to come along in decades. You have now seen two of the three "holy trinity" of current Japanese rock/metal bands: Band-maid and Lovebites (Nemophila is the third). In their first five years of existence, Lovebites put themselves on par with the greatest bands of metal’s golden age. Other reviewers have described them as alien superheroes disguised as young women, angels, princesses of metal, and angry bridesmaids. They recently went on a year-and-a half hiatus while they searched for a new bassist. They announced the new bassist in October 2022 (see below) and dropped their first new song on December 22. Their new album, “Judgement Day”, was released two months later. You just watched the second video from that album, Some background: They were formed in 2016 from the remnants of a legendary all-girl Japanese metal band called Destrose (yes, all-girl metal has been a thing in Japan since at least 1981). Miho (bass, chief headbanger and founder of the band) had a vision of a new band in the style of the great European bands of the golden age of metal. She recruited her former bandmate Haruna (drums, 4'9" “pocket nuclear reactor”); they needed two world-class guitarists, and so they went and found Midori and Miyako, who were with other groups. The four of them then found Asami, the singer, who was doing soul and blues at the time (she was also trained in ballet). Miyako has composed a little more than half of their music, with Miho composing a lot of their thrashier songs in collaboration with Mao, the lead composer of another band called Lightbringer. Midori has also been getting into the act, and they regularly perform a song written by Haruna as well. Asami writes most of the lyrics and is also getting involved in composing. In mid-2021, Miho left the band she had founded, for personal reasons. They went on hiatus while they searched for a new bassist, and during that time, two of them had babies, even as the band were writing and rehearsing their new album. They recently announced the new bassist, Fami, who is a young phenom and herself a composer and multi-instrumentalist. Their first song with Fami is “Judgement Day” th-cam.com/video/m3uGjp-P7DI/w-d-xo.html The instrumentalists studied all the great historical metal bands going back to Purple and Sabbath, through Maiden, Priest, Metallica, Helloween, Slayer etc. They have incorporated some of the best of each of those bands into their arsenal, and have created a sound that is fresh and cutting edge while paying tribute to the old masters. They toured with Dragonforce in 2019, and word from those in attendance was that next time around, it will be the ladies headlining. They do everything from soulful power ballads to heavy thrash. Almost every song includes face-melting solos by Miyako and Midori. The two guitarists are quite different in style and tone. Midori (blonde ponytail) is the extrovert and speed demon; Miyako is the introvert, with the more soulful feel (though she can also shred like crazy). Midori uses a cleaner tone, Miyako uses more distortion, pinch harmonics and pedal effects. The contrast makes their duets rich and dynamic. It doesn’t hurt that either one can smoke most of the shredders in the classic metal bands. As another reviewer said, "It seems criminal these two are allowed to be in the same band." Here are more clips you should check out: “Set the World on Fire” th-cam.com/video/99zsH6iG_6c/w-d-xo.html from their 2021 concert DVD “Heavy Metal Never Dies”. “Don’t Bite the Dust” th-cam.com/video/oHnKGEj1CMc/w-d-xo.html, from the same concert; "Edge of the World" and "We the United", back to back: th-cam.com/video/sl0-U-ykJCU/w-d-xo.html They form an incredible journey from darkness and despair to light and hope. Also, “Empty Daydream”, which starts as a ballad and becomes a real rocker: th-cam.com/video/lXh_uMM94jU/w-d-xo.html; Perhaps their greatest masterpiece, a showcase of multi-instrumental virtuosity and even classical dance “A Frozen Serenade” th-cam.com/video/Ae8pQVu-RN8/w-d-xo.html; And their most reacted-to video, “Holy War”: th-cam.com/video/bgAxpEpEcno/w-d-xo.html Miyako is also a virtuoso concert pianist, and was headed for a career in classical music, before picking up the guitar. If you want to see what she can do on the piano, watch “Swan Song” WITH the prelude, which is Chopin’s “Revolutionary Etude” (official name Étude Opus 10, No. 12 in C minor). Miyako wrote “Swan Song” using elements from several classical pieces including the Etude. This link should work: th-cam.com/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/w-d-xo.html. For a thrasher with heavy Slayer and Metallica vibes, “Break the Wall” th-cam.com/video/5Pc0XK0lNmU/w-d-xo.html includes two gorgeous and completely contrasting solos by M&M. For a heart-stopping ballad, “Epilogue” th-cam.com/video/1ynnXDfEnnY/w-d-xo.html (this includes a second song, your choice whether or not to react to both) While you will sometimes hear you should only react to live clips, actually their MV’s are epic and worth seeing. Here are four of the most spectacular: "Shadowmaker" th-cam.com/video/Brmoln5Gxus/w-d-xo.html This is the song that blew up and melted faces all over the world "When Destinies Align" th-cam.com/video/hLFelI93VkM/w-d-xo.html "Glory to the World" th-cam.com/video/-wJtD2XEXH4/w-d-xo.html "Winds of Transylvania" th-cam.com/video/HsE4Ub_Pjh8/w-d-xo.html. Finally, the audio tracks of some of the new album are up on youtube, and worth checking out. The band clearly came out swinging and wanted to make a statement. Every song on the album is a showcase of their incredible talent and songwriting capabilities. “Stand and Deliver” is a thrasher with a fun video of them in the studio. “Soldier Stands Solitarily”, the final song on the album, is being touted by some as the best thing they’ve done so far-I encourage you to see and decide for yourself! You'll get lots of suggestions, just one thing: don't bother with Bloodstock footage, the sound quality is poor. Best to take suggestions with actual links. Also, you can’t go wrong with any of their official clips. Welcome to the Wolf-Pack!
I never really got in to Lovebites, until they released this song and then I was hooked! No doubt someone has already suggested them, but to continue your journey in to the incredible world of Japanese metal you need to check out Nemophila - might be worth doing a poll as there are so many great songs, but I can't help but suggest the Minions cover... :)
This song also gets me moving, Becky, and I'm 70 years old (but a teenager at heart!). 😎 Lovebites have some fantastic live performances, but if you like an epic guitar solo may I suggest you listen to "When Destinies Align". Keep up the great reactions. 🙂

This is an overview of LOVEBITES 55 self-written songs and 3 covers (plus 6+1 covers by band members) with your reaction marked with a star (*). All these songs are great, they have no bad, weak or meh songs, and no fillers at all. Every song is special, you could randomly select a song, best life, of course, and LOVEBITES won't disappoint you. They play many different Heavy Metal styles with a certain LOVEBITES sound, they revive the masters of the 80's (and 90's) in a fresh and modern way. LOVEBITES may have the most talented musicians around, all of them S tier. Drummer Haruna is relentless like a metronome, both Miho and Fami master their bass (for Fami's capabilities, you should visit "Alien Alien" from my list, it's in her TH-cam channel will almost 700K subscribers), the dual guitars M&M (for Midori and Miyako) is most certainly the best duo for trading guitar solos and harmonizing, and Asami's voice is stellar with big range, powerful belt and good vibrato. She is also a trained ballerina with exceptional stage presence. One reactor caller her "Stage General", which is perfectly put. Hard, tight, fast, relentless, effortless and clean, that's LOVEBITES. Fasten your seat belt and enjoy your ride!
Every song has at least one solo by each guitarist, almost all have a guitar-harmony-duet. Some, guitars are unison/harmony throughout entire song. LIVE they are phenomenal. Their most recent MV is a contrast to "Stand And Deliver" in music & video presentation, as suggested, "Judgement Day" MV 2023: th-cam.com/video/m3uGjp-P7DI/w-d-xo.html These both have [cc] lyrics if a message of self-empowerment & personal-responsibility interests you, that is the basic theme of most LOVEBITES songs, woven through a wide variety of genre, metal sub-genre, classic-metal, Classical, R&B/soul, Hard-rock, Progressive, Thrash & Ballads.They are 'lone wolves' in Metal, hence, fans are Wolf-Pack. 🐺 Haruna "little BIG Engine" drums 🧡 (4'9"; 1.45m) Asami "The One & Only Voice" vocals/piano ❤ (4'10"; 1.47m) Midori "Crazy Shredder" guitar 💚 (4'11"; 1.5m) Miyako "The Golden Touch" guitar/piano 💙 (5'2"; 1.58m) Fami - bass (5'2"; 1.58m) From "Judgement Day" album forward. all studio & LIVE performances through 12/2021: Miho "Natural Born Head-Banger" bass 💜 (5'1"; 1.55m) nicknames given by the band 🐺

Love this MV they all look like they are having a great time Glad your enjoying your Band maid , Babymetal, The Warning journey Some other amazing Japanese bands to check would be Nemophila, Hanabie ( all female) and One Ok Rock ( guys ) and Wagakki Band who blend traditional Japanese instruments with modern rock ( its amazing) Loving your reactions and look forward to more Cheers from Western Australia 🇦🇺
The Japanese female metal and hard rock rabbit hole is a deep one, and well worth falling into. Lovebites are a favorite (although not my very favorite: that would be Nemophila). So many skilled players in this little niche: guitarists, bassists, drummers, keyboardists, vocalists...and in a couple cases, violinists (Jill from Unlucky Morpheus is a concert-quality classical violinist in a symphonic metal band...how great is that?). Enjoy!
This video is a little atypical, being slightly off from their usual sound, and being shot with the band in their street clothes. They normally wear elegant white dresses both live and in their videos. Almost prom dresses, as another British reactor called them. Askami's voice has incredible range and belting power, and Myoshi and Midori always give killer dual guitar solos. The talent level of everyone in the band is world class.
Asami - The One and Only Voice 🎤 Miyako - The Golden Touch 🎸🎹 Madori - The Crazy Shredder 🎸 Haruna - The Little Big Engine 🥁 Fami - The Ace on the Bass 🎸 🤘🐺
#1 - Yes, they won. Unlucky Morpheus and Hanabie come in second and third. For Lovebites I prefer many of their older songs over the new album, but this one is great.
You should also check out Gacharic Spin -- Kachi Kachi Yama, they turn up the good vibes to 11 lol also they are very reactor friendly and are even doing a contest.
I'd also suggest Nemophila's song 'Rise' and 'Dissention' and also "Forever", which is a cover of the band "In this moment". Memorable moments, and Nemophila has just came up!
NEMOPHILA NEXT PLEASE. DISSENSION HAS SERIOUS GROWLING FRY FROM THE SINGER MAYU. SAKI AND HAZUKI ARE EXCELLENT GUITARISTS. MAYU IS A LEGEND OF A DRUMMER. HARAGUCHI IS A GREAT BASSIST THAT IS A BIT SHY BUT STILL EXCELLENT. FOR A SOFTER SONG TO START WITH MAYBE, ADABANA?
Welcome to the Wolfpack! (the name for the Lovebites fans :D) - Glad to see you fully enjoying the best metal band on the planet. It's great to see more people discovering our ladies! I encourage you to check out some of their live performances too - in my decades of metal fandom, I've never heard cleaner sound out of a band live. Also, they have white gowns that are their usual "Battle Uniforms", one of their newest songs "Stand and Deliver" is one of the few MVs they have done in casual clothes. Some data on the band: The lead singer (Asami) is the group goofball, and is known as "The One and Only Voice" - and metal is a new genre for her vocally. She does a lot of writing, also. Haruna is the drummer - called "The Little Engine" - because she just crushes the drum parts and rhythm section on every song, and she is completely indefatiguable! Miyako is our dark haired guitarist who also does all the background synth and piano work. In addition, she also writes and does everything with that calm, cool professionalism. :) She is called "The Golden Touch" for a reason - everything she touches turns gold. Midori is the blonde guitarist with the amazing hair, and she is called "The Crazy Shredder" - because, well, it is what it says. She's insanely good and aggressive shredder. She also performs in bodybuilding competitions. :) On bass you have the amazingly talented Fami - who doesn't have a nickname yet - but she really has injected even more energy and passion into the group. Fun fact: Fami is the tallest member of the band, at 5'2" tall. :)
Slight error with Asami's nick name, she's known as "The one and only voice", as far as Fami is concerned I have my own nick name for her "The ace on the bass" I think it only fair until she is given one by the band. 🤘🎸🥁🎹🎤🐺
In my opinion, and those of the wolfpack, Midori and Miyako are one of the greatest heavy metal guitar duos of all time.
Hard agree
More lovebites...you won't dissapoint...
They are similar to those bands in that they are female from Japan. Lovebites is unique in that they sing all their songs in English and they have elite talent across the board with every band member. Lovebites won the 2018 Metal Hammer Golden Gods award for best new band.
You are sinking into the endless rabbit hole of J/Rock and J/Metal. Japanese women dominate the music scene in Japan. They are battle tested in their teens often and if you are not exceptional you won't make. LB are insanely talented and play a blend of old metal and classical music elevated to a whole new level. They wear their femininity proudly while writing, arranging and performing like the world class musicians they are. They are exceptional so anything especially LIVE will be amazing. Welcome from the Wolfpack (fan base) who promise these ladies will never disappoint you.
Well stated, and all on point, as always.
Glad to see you found Lovebites Becky. I'm an old metal head and Lovebites incorporate many of the elements of my favorite 80's metal - Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Helloween, Slayer, etc. They have many great live performances on TH-cam. Check out Holy War Live in Tokyo 2021 with lyrics, Swan Song +Chopin Intro (Five of a Kind) 2020, Break the Wall Live at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020, The Awaking The Hammer of Wrath Live.
This phenomenal band has invigorated and further developed Metal in many ways. Flawless songbook, brilliant live shows and unparalleled musicianship - they have set themselves the highest standards and never fail to (stand and) deliver. We - the Wolf Pack - should be grateful to have this band in our lives.

from Judgement Day 02/22/2023
Welcome to LOVEBITES! Enjoy your journey....🤘🤯
First saw them in Cardiff supporting Dragonforce in 2019, just before the Pandemic. They were so tiny but played outstanding even then.
From Japan, they named the band after the Grammy winning Halestorm song, Love Bites (So Do I). Lead singer , Asami, has joined Lzzy and the boys onstage to perform that song. At 2019 Download. Miyako and Midori(blonde pony tail) on guitar. Haruna on drums. And new bassist Fami seen here, she joined in Oct 2022. Original bassist, and band co-founder, Miho left in 2021. Some songs lean towards power metal, some towards thrash, and some ballads.
Awesome live videos too. Try Holy War, Thunder Vengeance, or Swan Song(with Chopin piano intro), all live at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020.
Thank you for this reaction video. Lovebites has been around since 2016, and the women became more famous worldwide after performing at several major festivals, mainly in Europe, starting in 2018.
2018 - Wacken - Open Air in Germany
2018 - Bloodstock Open Air in England
2019 - Graspop Metal Meeting Festival in Belgium
2019 - Download Festival in Spain
In 2020, their career was abruptly interrupted by Corona. But they masterfully overcame the crisis, got married and had babies. In 2021 the founder Miho left the band for personal reasons and it went into a hiatus which lasted until the end of 2022. In the fall of 2022 they found a young fantastic bass player and in 2023 they released a new LP. The new LP reached the 5th place in the Japanese charts. Japan is the 2nd largest music market in the world and it is very rare that in these times a rock band comes so far forward.
I've been a big LOVEbites fan for 3 years and fans never get enough of it so : S u g g e s t i o n s for next reaction V i d e o 's:

Thank you 😊
How good are Lovebites? I’m 63. I live on a narrowboat on a canal in the U.K. I heard Lovebites for 30 seconds two years ago and bang…favourite band. Their virtuosity is patently obvious in every song they have ever written…and that’s now approximately 60. So in 2023 I’ve already flown to Japan for the first time in my life, and I’m flying back again in September. 1 gig under my belt in Tokyo already, 1 in Sapporo and 1 in Osaka to look forward to in September. I’m far from wealthy, but if you love something enough, you concentrate your resources on it. For me that’s Lovebites. Best band in rock history. No arguments. I will continue to travel to any country on earth where they play, provided I can get a ticket and until I’m eating out of dustbins…..
Hardcore superfan.
A true fan. Right on dude.
H.A.R.D.C.O.R.E.
Love this and the fact you live on a narrowboat 😊
This ain't no rabbit hole but a gold mine filled with nuggets and also lots of rare gems hidden away but if you look hard you will find them, welcome, enjoy the ride, Japanese music is just so varied, lovebites is my vice I just need to hear at least 1 of their songs a day to get through, luv from New Zealand
Thank you 😊
My Lovebites 🏴 🐺 🤘 All Mine! I don't want to share
🔥LOVEBITES🐺PERFECTION🔥
Midori and Miyako are one of the best guitar duo’s in Metal music today! 🤘
Ah .... this is the second music video with their new bass player Fami. They have had a year or so down since their previous bass player Miho left. The first one, with this set up, is Judgement day. Also good.
With the previous set up I think they have 50 original songs or so, most of them very good. But here is a list of songs I really like, all are live
* Break the Wall
* Holy War
* Raise some hell
* Set the world on fire
* Swan song (with Chopin intro)
* The awakening - hammer of wrath
* Thunder Vengenance
I mean - there are more - they have been very productive. It is the dark haired guitar player that writes all the songs.
Welcome to lovebites, for me this is the best metal band out,so good so talented, LOVEBITES ROCK
Babymetal, Band-Maid, Lovebites - it's a great intro to the wonderful world of all-female or female-led Japanese Rock and Metal and hopefully you'll be exploring more of all those bands' work. They are making all the best 21st century music. Have to recommend a few more, starting with Nemophila...and Asterism...and Aldious...Hanabie...Atarashii Gakko...Wagakki Band...and the list goes on!

"WE ARE LOVEBITES AND WE PLAY HEAVYYYY METAAAAL!!!"
Stay safe. Stay Lovebites.
A lot of people in the comments will throw around “best this” and “best that” about this band, but that’s just a fanboyish non-musician way of saying LOVEBITES is their favorite.
There’s a lot of rock and metal groups from Japan that have a high level of skill and LOVEBITES is definitely one of them. They deserve a lot of praise and attention and should have a lot more subscribers. I’m glad you liked them and liked the video, and I hope you’ll do more. The video for “Judgement Day” is their second most recent video and is a killer song, and “Holy War” and “Swan Song” are common next steps for reactors.
You are correct that many people use the word "best" as a euphemism for "favourite".
But what I can say is objectively true, is that LOVEBITES has more collective musical talent than almost any other metal (or rock) band in the world. In fact, the only metal band I'm aware of that could play the entire LOVEBITES catalogue is Dream Theater. It is possible there are others, but I don't know of them. Feel free to educate me if you are aware of any other band that could play the entire LOVEBITES catalogue.
@@1970Phoenix This is what I'm talking about. Despite what others might think, given enough time to learn the parts, musicians can cover other musicians. I know because I've covered Van Halen, Jimi Hendrix, and Joe Satriani on guitar, Yes and Iron Maiden on bass, and Rush, Pink Floyd, and Dream Theater on both instruments and done it live. Hell, since you're aware of Dream Theater, I played "Pull Me Under" and "Metropolis" on bass in my high school talent show after playing for a little under three years. Does that somehow mean I'm as skilled as those respective musicians? No, of course not. That would be stupid. All it means is that I put in the time and effort to learn the techniques that they use and I know what order to put them in.
Music isn't a competition. "Better" and "best" are bullshit terms that, as I said, just mean "favorite" when it comes to comments about musicians. The sooner you understand that the better; you also need to work on your understanding of "objectively."
@@PaleHorseShabuShabu Respectfully I disagree. It's not only about learning the parts, its also about first developing a certain level of technical mastery, which comes after thousands of hours of disciplined practice. If you don't have the technical skill to play a piece of music on an instrument, then learning how to play it won't be possible.
Music isn't a competition if you are playing or listening for pleasure. But it absolutely is (or at least can be) a competition in certain contexts. Otherwise, on what basis could any music college grade their students? It is objectively true that some musicians are more skilled than other musicians. Then logically, bands with more technically skilled musicians have (by definition) more technical skill within that band.
LOVEBITES have songs in their catalogue that very, very few other bands could play, even with 12 months of practice. The best example is Swan Song with the Chopin Introduction.
My understanding of the word "objectively" is correct. The technical mastery of an instrument, just like any physical skill, can be assessed and measured. It is independent on anyone's personal opinion.
@@1970Phoenix You act like playing an instrument is some mysterious, labyrinthine thing that's only attainable to a select few. While it's true that the four instrumentalists in LOVEBITES are highly-skilled musicians, acting like they're some pinnacle of their instruments is where we part ways. Ever watch the channel Dicodec? They've said several times that you can practice guitar for fifteen minutes a day and get good if you practice the right way. LOVEBITES are not on a peak, they're on a plateau, and they're not alone.
You asked what bands could play LOVEBITES songs? Sticking with just the rock and metal scene in Japan, I have zero doubt that the appropriate instrumentalists from Galneryus, Wagakki Band (including Yuko on piano), BAND-MAID, Unlucky Morpheus, Babymetal's Kami Band(s), Asterism, Paranoid Void, D_Drive, Nemophila, and Gacharic Spin could play LOVEBITES' songs and that LOVEBITES could play their songs. Since I just listened to them, I'll throw in Canada's Unleash the Archers, too.
And yeah, you do need to work on your understanding of the word "objectively." Cambridge defines it as "in a way that is based on facts and not influenced by personal beliefs or feelings." Everything you've said is based on personal feelings and is devoid of facts. Remember when I asked you what metric you were using to declare LOVEBITES as the greatest musicians that have ever lived? You didn't reply with any substance then, and you're not doing it now.
Thank you 😊
LOVEBITES fucking destroy. They are the future of metal as far as I'm concerned. Please react to Running Wild Bad To The Bone next.
welcome to the world of Lovebites the world of beautiful ballads, heavy, power, speed, thrash metal.
Plenty more to dig into with all the Japanese bands you’ve discovered…for Lovebites try Swan Song with Chopin intro (live), Judgement Day, Empty Daydream (live), Rising (live), Frozen Serenade (live) and really pretty much anything else :)
May the days pass soon!! They are absolutely greats!! 🤟🏻🦊🇯🇵🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lovebites is power metal of the finest style from Tokyo/Japan - absolutely stunning artists on their instruments! Asami is the vocalist, Haruna on drums, Fami (new) on bass and the gorgeous M&M pack, Midori (all kinds of guitars - mostly blonde) and Miyako (guitar and piano/keyboards - mostly black hair)!
I knew you would love these Ladies!!!! One of my favs is their M/V (When Destinies Align), quite fast and great guitar solos. Any of their songs will not disappoint you!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulation on your finding this treasure band in Japan and thank you for your great reaction. I really enjoyed it. If you would dive into this band more deeply I'm sure your completely attracted with them. Actually they have only masterpieces and no bad song.
Especially their live performance is incredible. Please check also "Glory to the world"(MV), "Holy War"(LIVE), "Scream for me"(Studio Live", "Set the world on Fire"(LIVE), "Break the Wall"(LIVE), "Judgement day"(MV) ...so many recommendations.
Thank you 😊
"That was the most epic guitar solo ever" You will repeat that sentence very often if you listen to more Lovebites 😂 (you barely scratched the surface 😉) For Lovebites at "full throttle" I recommend the live version of "Set the World on Fire" or the title track of their new album "Judgement Day" . Welcome to the Wolfpack! 🐺 Enjoy the ride! 🤘
Ya wait till she sees the Judgment Days solo(s)
@@kyles5513 I quoted Becky. Otherwise I agree. Dunno how she will describe that instrumental section if she listens to that song 😁😁😁
We’ll have to see hehe 😉
Loved your reaction. I think you'll love this band if you like high energy and guitar solos galore. I so hope that they come back to tour in the UK soon. 🤘🤘
Thank you 😊
Try some live Lovebites for a real treat. Amazing band live. Pick any song.
You said that you love guitar solos. So, now you have the right address - every Lovebites' song has amazing solos and almost always it is duoling solos.
You discovered an amazing band. They are really talented. All their songs are really different, but all of them are perfect. You can pick any song and it will be awesome.
Try their live performances. I recommend you the songs "Holy war" and "Set the world on fire" on their official TH-cam channel. You will be impressed.
Thank you for your reaction. It was cool. More Lovebites on the channel!
Thank you 😊
Many rock/metal bands coming out of Japan and many are really good but lovebites are on a different level. Listen to recommendations from the wolfpack and won't go wrong. Once bitten forever smitten.
🤘🎸🥁🎹🎤🐺🇬🇧
I think Lovebites is the best band on the planet, currently. Their songs are just perfect.
リアクションありがとうございます🤘🐺🤘
Thank you 🥹🥰
And that was the RIGHT reaction !
Although this is a good " introduction " to Lovebites they are a MUCH better band live ( unlike some who can only produce it in the studio )
They are without doubt currently the best metal band on the planet and hopefully when you start to check out some of their other songs you'll agree .
Their back catalogue is both extensive and superb and if you love guitar solos then this was but a gentle introduction to what they are really capable of ( and not too shabby for two guitarists who didn't start playing until their very late teens ! )
Enjoy - look forward to you doing more Lovebites reactions in the future
Lovebites best heavy metal band and Band-Maid best hard rock band
Lovebites and Band-Maid are my top bands at the moment. These beautiful women are just such good musicians and I love the musically complex songs. The show of their talent and skill every single time. There's something about the female singers I really like too. There's a few males but not many right now. If you want to go further down the Japanese path of music I’d also recommend (my favorites) BRATS (Doudatte yokatta), Ado (Gira Gira), Polkadot Stingray (Kamikaze Douga "Keshin"), Glim Spanky (愚か者たち).
To get the the best idea of these fantastic ladies live, listen to "Holy War" live at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020 👍
Ok you have done Babymetal, Band Maid and Lovebites. You need to hit the other quick rising and hard hitting J-Metal female band, Nemophila. Great thing about all these bands are they are all superb but all different. Lovebites duo of Midori and Miyako on guitar are simply amazing. Nemophila also has incredible dual shredders in Saki and Hazuki as well. Funny thing is the fan bases overlap. Nothing but respect for all these ladies. Hell Saki and Miyako are even close friends. Hit up the song Adabana here: th-cam.com/video/AxYiOwsu6wU/w-d-xo.html
Thank you, I’m getting through all of them slowly 😅
my favorite part of this son is the secon guitar solo of Miyako with the waah pedal.
The Rolls Royce of Japanese female Rock and Metal bands.. There are so many brilliant all female bands from Japan, but Lovebites is just up there.. Do some more they are great value..
Best wishes from France.
Welcome to Lovebites. Youve been bitten..wolfpack will now decend..Thank You for a great reaction Lovebites are the Queens of Metal !
Bad Ass is a fitting description. These Women Are Completely Bad Ass. The sum of their Total is Amazing. Virtuoso musicians working together like a single minded Team and doing so better than most whom have come before them. Then factor in their Uplifting Performance and Fast paced writing and Wham!. Wolfpack.
Yes, Lovebites is... "badass". 😄
( Lovebites isn't "winning". They already won! ) GAME OVER. 😉
Haha, this is one of the best comments 🥰🥰
lovebites are something else. great enjoyable reaction.
If you love guitar solos, then you‘ve found your new favorite band 🎸
Only 60 songs more to go with mostly even more epic solos than in this song. Wait until you‘ve seen them harmonizing with each other. Or Miyako, the dark haired guitarist, throws in her piano skills 🎹
So many great live videos for you to see my dear. They will all blow you away. The talent of these women is unbelievable.
Please try 'Scream For Me' or 'Holy War', or for a ballad 'Epilogue'. All the live versions of course.
In most lovebites videos and lives they will be dressesd in white dresses this was more relaxed
Lovebites sings in English , also they are the top tier most talented band in the world . Must watch their live performances
Thanks for responding to LOVEBITES.
Please continue to support LOVEBITES.
The mic stand setting that Miyako(G-Piano-Black hair) used was too high for Asami(Vo).
Haruna(Dr) imitated the guitar work of Miyako & Midori's solo performance of "Signs of Deliverence" at the live concert.
Haruna may have been watching from the drum position and thought it was cool.
Asami & Haruna is cute.
Be warned you're entering a breathtaking rabbit hole if you go the route that these ladies offer..
Ah. Dimash and now Lovebites. As a Dear and a Wolfpack member, I'll have to subscribe now. I wouldn't have discovered either without somebody nudging me to look at reactions during the lockdown in 2020 .
You've barely scratched the surface of what you've been missing. Lovebites shine even more brightly live.
Aww thank you 😊
So Becky, now watch them in a proper live performance, ‘Holy War’ or ‘Swan Song’ to get the full experience. Their songs are in English although Asami the lead singer has a rather thick accent. Her english is way better than my Japanese though so thats no criticism. IMHO the best metal band of the last few years and if you love a good guitar solo then this is definitely the band for you.
Thank you 😊
Great reaction welcome to the world of lovebites,once bitten you become part of the wolf pack.
Love this! 🥰
I just now purchased this album. I was preoccupied the first half of this year and spaced on the new album with Fami.
LOVEBITES 🐺 INCREDIBLE
You want a epic guitarsolo from Lovebites. The song When Destinies Align. Live version is awesome but I recommend the MV version that in my taste is better!
LOVEBITES-JUDGEMENT DAY official vid 🤟🙏
That song simply raises the global bar for powermetal.
Might I suggest a band called Show Ya. Japanese female metal-first formed in 1981, stopped in 1998 and reformed in 2005 for a 25th anniversary tour with original line up and are STILL working. They host annual festival for the newer woman fronted bands every April that includes short sets from each band and then all star showcases of the member of all the bands. So if you wonder what your nan or mom would have looked like in an 80;s metal band then and now... MIght I suggest the 2022 live version of Fairy in the pouring rain?
worth the wait 💯💯, you wana try Shadowmaker Music video, just to feel how relentless their early days are.. and still relentless today
Thank you 😊
格好いいですよね。俺もお気に入りの曲です。
コーラス部分を全員で歌うなんて、このバンドでは珍しいです。
これだけ笑顔が見られるのも珍しいです。
Congratulations for your discovery, these ladies are a total badasses.. I seriously think they can outplay any band from the past, present and future, men or women.. Go check out their live performances.. They're even more badass live..
🤘🐺💖👸🤘🔥🔆 *LOVEBITES* 🔆
Congratulations, your Japanese metal journey has brought you to the best new metal band to come along in decades. You have now seen two of the three "holy trinity" of current Japanese rock/metal bands: Band-maid and Lovebites (Nemophila is the third). In their first five years of existence, Lovebites put themselves on par with the greatest bands of metal’s golden age. Other reviewers have described them as alien superheroes disguised as young women, angels, princesses of metal, and angry bridesmaids. They recently went on a year-and-a half hiatus while they searched for a new bassist. They announced the new bassist in October 2022 (see below) and dropped their first new song on December 22. Their new album, “Judgement Day”, was released two months later. You just watched the second video from that album, Some background:
They were formed in 2016 from the remnants of a legendary all-girl Japanese metal band called Destrose (yes, all-girl metal has been a thing in Japan since at least 1981). Miho (bass, chief headbanger and founder of the band) had a vision of a new band in the style of the great European bands of the golden age of metal. She recruited her former bandmate Haruna (drums, 4'9" “pocket nuclear reactor”); they needed two world-class guitarists, and so they went and found Midori and Miyako, who were with other groups. The four of them then found Asami, the singer, who was doing soul and blues at the time (she was also trained in ballet).
Miyako has composed a little more than half of their music, with Miho composing a lot of their thrashier songs in collaboration with Mao, the lead composer of another band called Lightbringer. Midori has also been getting into the act, and they regularly perform a song written by Haruna as well. Asami writes most of the lyrics and is also getting involved in composing.
In mid-2021, Miho left the band she had founded, for personal reasons. They went on hiatus while they searched for a new bassist, and during that time, two of them had babies, even as the band were writing and rehearsing their new album. They recently announced the new bassist, Fami, who is a young phenom and herself a composer and multi-instrumentalist. Their first song with Fami is “Judgement Day” th-cam.com/video/m3uGjp-P7DI/w-d-xo.html
The instrumentalists studied all the great historical metal bands going back to Purple and Sabbath, through Maiden, Priest, Metallica, Helloween, Slayer etc. They have incorporated some of the best of each of those bands into their arsenal, and have created a sound that is fresh and cutting edge while paying tribute to the old masters. They toured with Dragonforce in 2019, and word from those in attendance was that next time around, it will be the ladies headlining.
They do everything from soulful power ballads to heavy thrash. Almost every song includes face-melting solos by Miyako and Midori. The two guitarists are quite different in style and tone. Midori (blonde ponytail) is the extrovert and speed demon; Miyako is the introvert, with the more soulful feel (though she can also shred like crazy). Midori uses a cleaner tone, Miyako uses more distortion, pinch harmonics and pedal effects. The contrast makes their duets rich and dynamic. It doesn’t hurt that either one can smoke most of the shredders in the classic metal bands. As another reviewer said, "It seems criminal these two are allowed to be in the same band."
Here are more clips you should check out:
“Set the World on Fire” th-cam.com/video/99zsH6iG_6c/w-d-xo.html from their 2021 concert DVD “Heavy Metal Never Dies”.
“Don’t Bite the Dust” th-cam.com/video/oHnKGEj1CMc/w-d-xo.html, from the same concert;
"Edge of the World" and "We the United", back to back: th-cam.com/video/sl0-U-ykJCU/w-d-xo.html They form an incredible journey from darkness and despair to light and hope.
Also, “Empty Daydream”, which starts as a ballad and becomes a real rocker: th-cam.com/video/lXh_uMM94jU/w-d-xo.html;
Perhaps their greatest masterpiece, a showcase of multi-instrumental virtuosity and even classical dance “A Frozen Serenade” th-cam.com/video/Ae8pQVu-RN8/w-d-xo.html;
And their most reacted-to video, “Holy War”: th-cam.com/video/bgAxpEpEcno/w-d-xo.html
Miyako is also a virtuoso concert pianist, and was headed for a career in classical music, before picking up the guitar. If you want to see what she can do on the piano, watch “Swan Song” WITH the prelude, which is Chopin’s “Revolutionary Etude” (official name Étude Opus 10, No. 12 in C minor). Miyako wrote “Swan Song” using elements from several classical pieces including the Etude. This link should work: th-cam.com/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/w-d-xo.html.
For a thrasher with heavy Slayer and Metallica vibes, “Break the Wall” th-cam.com/video/5Pc0XK0lNmU/w-d-xo.html includes two gorgeous and completely contrasting solos by M&M.
For a heart-stopping ballad, “Epilogue” th-cam.com/video/1ynnXDfEnnY/w-d-xo.html (this includes a second song, your choice whether or not to react to both)
While you will sometimes hear you should only react to live clips, actually their MV’s are epic and worth seeing. Here are four of the most spectacular:
"Shadowmaker" th-cam.com/video/Brmoln5Gxus/w-d-xo.html
This is the song that blew up and melted faces all over the world
"When Destinies Align" th-cam.com/video/hLFelI93VkM/w-d-xo.html
"Glory to the World" th-cam.com/video/-wJtD2XEXH4/w-d-xo.html
"Winds of Transylvania" th-cam.com/video/HsE4Ub_Pjh8/w-d-xo.html.
Finally, the audio tracks of some of the new album are up on youtube, and worth checking out. The band clearly came out swinging and wanted to make a statement. Every song on the album is a showcase of their incredible talent and songwriting capabilities. “Stand and Deliver” is a thrasher with a fun video of them in the studio. “Soldier Stands Solitarily”, the final song on the album, is being touted by some as the best thing they’ve done so far-I encourage you to see and decide for yourself!
You'll get lots of suggestions, just one thing: don't bother with Bloodstock footage, the sound quality is poor. Best to take suggestions with actual links. Also, you can’t go wrong with any of their official clips. Welcome to the Wolf-Pack!
Thank you so much 🥰🥰
On your tour through great Japanese bands the next stop should be Gacharic Spin. 🗾🎸♥️ Try "MindSet", "I Wish I" or "Tamashii".
I never really got in to Lovebites, until they released this song and then I was hooked! No doubt someone has already suggested them, but to continue your journey in to the incredible world of Japanese metal you need to check out Nemophila - might be worth doing a poll as there are so many great songs, but I can't help but suggest the Minions cover... :)
Fami Fami Fami!
This song also gets me moving, Becky, and I'm 70 years old (but a teenager at heart!). 😎 Lovebites have some fantastic live performances, but if you like an epic guitar solo may I suggest you listen to "When Destinies Align". Keep up the great reactions. 🙂
Awww! Love this! Chris, you’re only as old as you feel! Defo keep moving! You legend🥰🥰

This is an overview of LOVEBITES 55 self-written songs and 3 covers (plus 6+1 covers by band members) with your reaction marked with a star (*).
All these songs are great, they have no bad, weak or meh songs, and no fillers at all. Every song is special, you could randomly select a song, best life, of course, and LOVEBITES won't disappoint you. They play many different Heavy Metal styles with a certain LOVEBITES sound, they revive the masters of the 80's (and 90's) in a fresh and modern way. LOVEBITES may have the most talented musicians around, all of them S tier. Drummer Haruna is relentless like a metronome, both Miho and Fami master their bass (for Fami's capabilities, you should visit "Alien Alien" from my list, it's in her TH-cam channel will almost 700K subscribers), the dual guitars M&M (for Midori and Miyako) is most certainly the best duo for trading guitar solos and harmonizing, and Asami's voice is stellar with big range, powerful belt and good vibrato. She is also a trained ballerina with exceptional stage presence. One reactor caller her "Stage General", which is perfectly put. Hard, tight, fast, relentless, effortless and clean, that's LOVEBITES. Fasten your seat belt and enjoy your ride!
Every song has at least one solo by each guitarist, almost all have a guitar-harmony-duet. Some, guitars are unison/harmony throughout entire song. LIVE they are phenomenal.
Their most recent MV is a contrast to "Stand And Deliver" in music & video presentation,
as suggested, "Judgement Day" MV 2023: th-cam.com/video/m3uGjp-P7DI/w-d-xo.html
These both have [cc] lyrics if a message of self-empowerment & personal-responsibility interests you, that is the basic theme of most LOVEBITES songs, woven through a wide variety of genre, metal sub-genre, classic-metal, Classical, R&B/soul, Hard-rock, Progressive, Thrash & Ballads.They are 'lone wolves' in Metal, hence, fans are Wolf-Pack. 🐺
Haruna "little BIG Engine" drums 🧡 (4'9"; 1.45m)
Asami "The One & Only Voice" vocals/piano ❤ (4'10"; 1.47m)

Glad your enjoying your Band maid , Babymetal, The Warning journey
Some other amazing Japanese bands to check would be Nemophila, Hanabie ( all female) and One Ok Rock ( guys ) and Wagakki Band who blend traditional Japanese instruments with modern rock ( its amazing)
Loving your reactions and look forward to more
Cheers from Western Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you so much 🥰
Welcome 2 Lovebites 🤘🐺L🐺O🐺V🐺E🐺🤘 & the Wolfpack ❣🙏
4:46 is that not beautiful? 😊
7:21 here I start to headbang at the latest. 😂
8:08 that is beautiful, too 😊 And it is typical Lovebites. 😁
🐺
The Japanese female metal and hard rock rabbit hole is a deep one, and well worth falling into. Lovebites are a favorite (although not my very favorite: that would be Nemophila). So many skilled players in this little niche: guitarists, bassists, drummers, keyboardists, vocalists...and in a couple cases, violinists (Jill from Unlucky Morpheus is a concert-quality classical violinist in a symphonic metal band...how great is that?). Enjoy!
Nemophila has crept to the top of my favorites too.
try to set the world on fire live song ...you will not be disappointed \m/
Ooh another one for the wolfpack, welcome to the world of J-metal👌
This video is a little atypical, being slightly off from their usual sound, and being shot with the band in their street clothes. They normally wear elegant white dresses both live and in their videos. Almost prom dresses, as another British reactor called them.
Askami's voice has incredible range and belting power, and Myoshi and Midori always give killer dual guitar solos. The talent level of everyone in the band is world class.
Asami - The One and Only Voice 🎤
Miyako - The Golden Touch 🎸🎹
Madori - The Crazy Shredder 🎸
Haruna - The Little Big Engine 🥁
Fami - The Ace on the Bass 🎸
🤘🐺
#1 - Yes, they won. Unlucky Morpheus and Hanabie come in second and third. For Lovebites I prefer many of their older songs over the new album, but this one is great.
You should also check out Gacharic Spin -- Kachi Kachi Yama, they turn up the good vibes to 11 lol also they are very reactor friendly and are even doing a contest.
❤bites😃
Hello there, how are you doing ? thank you for your reaction on LB...if you do love epic guitar solo, then you can pick-up any Lovebites songs...
Next up try Nemophila. You won’t be disappointed.
Nemophila is a great band & I suggest their song " Adabana " as a first listen. 😏❤️🎙🎸🥁😎🤘
I'd also suggest Nemophila's song 'Rise' and 'Dissention' and also "Forever", which is a cover of the band "In this moment". Memorable moments, and Nemophila has just came up!
🐺🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
NEMOPHILA NEXT PLEASE. DISSENSION HAS SERIOUS GROWLING FRY FROM THE SINGER MAYU. SAKI AND HAZUKI ARE EXCELLENT GUITARISTS. MAYU IS A LEGEND OF A DRUMMER. HARAGUCHI IS A GREAT BASSIST THAT IS A BIT SHY BUT STILL EXCELLENT. FOR A SOFTER SONG TO START WITH MAYBE, ADABANA?

Welcome to the Wolfpack! (the name for the Lovebites fans :D) - Glad to see you fully enjoying the best metal band on the planet. It's great to see more people discovering our ladies! I encourage you to check out some of their live performances too - in my decades of metal fandom, I've never heard cleaner sound out of a band live. Also, they have white gowns that are their usual "Battle Uniforms", one of their newest songs "Stand and Deliver" is one of the few MVs they have done in casual clothes.
Some data on the band:
The lead singer (Asami) is the group goofball, and is known as "The One and Only Voice" - and metal is a new genre for her vocally. She does a lot of writing, also.
Haruna is the drummer - called "The Little Engine" - because she just crushes the drum parts and rhythm section on every song, and she is completely indefatiguable!
Miyako is our dark haired guitarist who also does all the background synth and piano work. In addition, she also writes and does everything with that calm, cool professionalism. :) She is called "The Golden Touch" for a reason - everything she touches turns gold.
Midori is the blonde guitarist with the amazing hair, and she is called "The Crazy Shredder" - because, well, it is what it says. She's insanely good and aggressive shredder. She also performs in bodybuilding competitions. :)
On bass you have the amazingly talented Fami - who doesn't have a nickname yet - but she really has injected even more energy and passion into the group.
Fun fact: Fami is the tallest member of the band, at 5'2" tall. :)
Slight error with Asami's nick name, she's known as "The one and only voice", as far as Fami is concerned I have my own nick name for her "The ace on the bass" I think it only fair until she is given one by the band.
🤘🎸🥁🎹🎤🐺
@@gordonnottsfinest180 I stand corrected! Thank you!
@@AniMeiGrrl No problem 😊
Thank you! Also the tallest in only 5”2! Ha love this! I’m 5”2 🥰
try out hanabie we love sweets
🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺
Time for a reaction to the metallest of metal, ‘painkiller’ by Judas Priest !
But pls the Cover from Lovebites
All 3 bands are Japanese.
Thank you
As good as this song is, in my opinion, its about their 23rd best song in their catalogue.
Ah cool! 😊
But pls the Cover from Lovebites
