I believe they are the best band out there these days. The level of musicianship is off the charts. But what makes them so amazing is the creativity of their songs. They come at you on so many different levels, that one song sounds like 4 or 5 different songs but they make it blend perfectly. Their songwriting skills are amazing.
The songwriting, arranging, performance and skill are far greater than just about any other live band. When I hear a new song, I often ask myself if it will be remembered in the future, and especially by music fans who haven't been born yet. I think Lovebites has a chance to be one of those very very few bands, but unless they can get a toe-hold outside Japan, those fans will only be Japanese.
@@taknothing4896 They supported DragonForce here in the UK last year. They sing in Wnglish because they wanted to bring Metal back to The place it was born.
Yeah Rocky Miyako is classic training pianist, she started to play piano at age of 3. She is influenced by Russian composer Rachmaninoff. She is 18 years old when she picked up the guitar for very first time. That time she heard about Yngwe Malmsteen and Paul Gilbert. When she plays slow solos that is coming from another guitarist which she admires a lot Richie Blackmore from Deep Purple. Watanabe Miyako is born on 5th of April 1990 year. She is amazing pianist and composer. And you can see to play guitar like that just for 12 years practice that shows how big talent is she. Actually like the other members. So much talent. Out of this world. Thank you for your reaction, and now if you got chance to find more videos my suggestion is Signs of deliverance, Rise some hell, Scream for me (here they've got something special for you guitar dwelling),. And in the end from last year concert Daughters of the down the song Epilogue. I'm already waiting for your reaction and comment. Stay safe and stay metal.
Yes, Miyako is a classically trained pianist. I suggest you take a look at the songs Edge Of The World, Empty Daydream and Signs Of Deliverance. That should be the next phase of your Lovebites journey. They are all indeed, very talented. Asami the vocalist has a little dable on Piano in the song We The United. I do believe that Haruna the drummer also plays the Piano. The sophisticated Ladies of Rock. When I hear Lovebites it echos discipline, organisation and class.
I was deeply moved when I learned that Miyako's piano solo at the end expressed the way the swan was dying. I've never heard of metal rock like this opera.
What - the - Fuck ! It;s the 3rd time I have watched this and was still more mind blown than the last. I can see these girls doing a concert with full orchestra ( as Deep Purple did in the 70's) but it wouldn't be embarrassing, as these girls have the technical ability and swagger to pull it off. THIS would break them globally, and the Japanese have the technology and expertise to make it perfect. The sky isn't even the limit for there wondrous talented ladies. I hope their management realises that.?
Every member of this band is incredible, but this song and performance is a real Miyako showcase and if people aren't even a little bit in love with her after this then they have no soul. Subscribed to you purely off your love of Lovebites... this is, for me, the best new band in at least the last 20 years and this show is real lightning in a bottle stuff. I feel privileged to be around to enjoy them in their time, but as you say, they need to be heard by a much wider audience. Amazing. A-ma-zing.
Agree with everything except for the "last 20 years" statement. For me, i haven't been this into a band since 80s Metallica. I literally can't think of another band on the planet that these ladies should open up for. Lovebites is the headliner!!!!
At 71, I've heard most every famous band since the mid 1960s. To me, Love Bites is the most exciting band I have ever heard in over 50 years. Their creativity, composition of music, lyrics, as well as virtuoso musical skill, totally blow me away. They have NO limits, musically, NONE! AMAZING BAND!
It's great to see someone else who "gets" how special they are. Imagine gathering the world's best comic-book artists to design a team of superheroes, sent from another planet to save us from evil and chaos. They will be disguised as beautiful young women dressed in white. Forbidden to use force or violence, they battle the darkness using only music. Crazy concept? They exist, and nothing the artists imagined could prepare you for the real thing.

Here is the context. Miyako (bona fide trained concert pianist - her primary instrument is actually piano; guitar is her 2nd instrument) plays Chopin's "Revolutionary Etude" Etude Op 10 No. 12. Chopin's piece came at around the time of failed November uprising in 1831 in Warsaw against Russia which was occupying Poland, his beloved homeland. Chopin would never sat foot in Poland again. The Etude brackets "Swan Song" with the ending outro piano piece composed by Miyako. And, you should read the lyrics to the song. It sings about the brave warriors and their death. Battle at Valhalla. It's a song for the brave who died for the great cause. This group is outrageously talented, just like the lovely girls of Band-Maid and the members of Unlucky Morpheus.
What a wonderful song ... if for me perfection in music exists, this might come very close ... Right now "Electric Pentagram" is the current CD in my car. I never skip over any song of the album, they are all too much joy to listen to. But sometimes I cannot resist to replay a song several times ... Swan Song is one of them (as it was the case earlier this evening on my way back from work). The thing is, that I had to wait since the mid 80s, when I as a teenager discovered Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Ronnie James Dio, Saxon, Metallica, began to love Metal music and never stopped, until I feel that obsession again with such an overwhelming piece of awesomeness ... I'm utterly Lovebitten now ... ;-) And I completely agree with your reaction ... Lovebites seem to be not from this world, they are just too good. They deserve much more attention. So I'm looking forward to another Lovebites reaction video!
yes Rocky, Amazing, I am a touring musican, and this is the most incredible performance i have ever seen. These girls are truly from another universe and time.. And Miyako composing this song and doing piano on stage as well ? Astounding ! No competition for these girls exists on this planet !
I recommend LOVEBITES EPILOGUE live from their daughters of the Dawn concert 2019 between Asami’s vocals and our ladies solos...it will melt your heart I kid you not!
Some other folks gave you the details on the opening piece, so I won't repeat. Miyako-chan started piano as a child, and was destined for a career in classical music--then at 18 she picked up a guitar, found a book of heavy metal guitar riffs, and started learning to shred. She plays several other instruments and composes most of Lovebites' music. A Goddess among goddesses, for sure.
Oh yeah I totally agree with everything you just said in fact when I first found the first mv I was blown away and started to get every reactor to check them out. At first there was to much skepticism and I was saying no problem it’s their loss. Now days there are many reactors being blown away by these gorgeous ladies
Most Japanese people don't know them too. They can't fill a venue for 10,000 people yet. So unfortunately, I believe more than 99.9% of Japanese don't know LOVEBITES. I sympathize with your grief! But I'm glad there is a big fan like you outside Japan! Keep checking out their songs and performances!
Great reaction and if you love them, subscribe to their channel, buy their albums/DVD's and support them. These bands from Japan (Lovebites, Band-Maid, etc.) deserve our support and help with spreading the word on how talented they all are and hopefully help them survive this year of no concerts. The only venue available now is YT and the more people that see these reactions the better. Everyone that watches a reaction for these bands needs to click the Like to get the songs moved to a higher rating so more people see them.
our beautiful miyako was a classically trained pianist long before she ever picked up a guitar at 18 years of age. as you can tell! it just ain't fair i tell ya.i would say that haruna really is the engine that keeps this band running [which she is] but take away any one member and it just would not be the same. more talent than i've seen in one group maybe ever.
Like Band Maid, although different area of music, are a one in a million occurance on this plant. Both these band must be paid attentionn to and treasured forwhat they can do live.
@@paulread4886 i just dream of a band maid and lovebites combined tour. there would be no conflict as they are 2 different genres - just the best of each world
Imagine if she started with guitar right away-at the age of 3. She would be Jimmy Hendrix now. Pure beast of a talent inside female beauty. Love this girl so much
@@zoranbl1990 I'd venture to say that her piano skills have greatly enhanced her guitar skills, she's already at a skill level on guitar that's is astonishingly good and from a technical perspective maybe better than Jimmy , maybe not quite as good as Tina S or Li-sa--x who both started at 4 or 5 on guitar.
As amazing as the entire band is, this performance shows that Miyako is the Alpha badass. Also, I have to say I'm proud of all the Lovebites fans. I have yet to see a single video that has devolved into name calling and trolling. The girls always receive the respect usually reserved for bands like Savatage. 🤘
I had just listened to the video and shared the link on Facebook. Found this, and - yeah. Everything you just said. Hands down my favorite Lovebite so far.
they are talented in writing lyrics, their lyrics are positive, tell you about great story and sometimes poetic. If you read the lyrics of some lovebites songs you will understand. Yes, you don't need to translate in English like other Japanese bands.
Higher level suggestions hmm, you still need to check under the red sky or above the black sea by lovebites. You need to buy the bluray, i think they have 3 so far
all I can say is that we are so lucky to be alive in times that Miyako exists and brings tears to the eyes with her talent and versatility...bow down to the true Goddess in music today🤘🤘🤘 I can't see even a single band now that is better than Lovebites or Band-Maid in their respective genres!!! I am looking, and I am really trying to find a guitarist(s) that are better than Miyako or Midori, or Kanami, or Hal-Ca! The powers of metal shifted and they don't belong to the American or to the Scandinavian bands...they belong to - JAPAN!!!
Long time I ignored them because i not really like other JMetal/Rock bands...but then I heard one song... now this is my fav band i discovered the last years! I frakking love them, even bought stuff from them what i normal not do with bands :) These Ladys have so extremely high Skill it's unreal.
Back in the 80's, there was a pop hit called "i like Chopin" by Gazebo. But now in 2020, i love Miyako playing Chopin. I'm glad to know LOVEBITES, they're a great live band. So this video is a good choice, i like your reaction.
Gary moore reincarnated in a japanese goddess. I was a fan of his in my youth. Some of the most inspirational guitar work by this woman i have heard in a long time. Epilogue is out of this world. Love your reaction and you are telling the truth. The best music out there right now is japanese ladies and they are ladies too. Marysblood, bandmaid aldious, nephalis, asterism and of course lovebites. The number of views your getting from these ladies are your highest too.
Yes, my friend, I am also sad, but unfortunately the barriers are very hard to break, we were inundated by Western culture, I am not saying that it is bad, but an almost insurmountable musical elite has been created, so we have to thank you for the social networks that exist, only then do we know these gems.
She practiced piano from like toddler till she was 18 years old, she found guitar and rest is history... so she's almost concert pianist level with that thing... it's crazy.
I'd recommend you to watch Under the Red Sky, Epilogue (ballad by Asami) and Signs of Deliverance Live at Zepp (at 3 minute mark of the Zepp version you'll flip out), those are also higher level. Forgot one song ... Empty Dreams Asami vocals and you get to hear Miyako sing. Yes, she plays guitar, piano, bass and sings. Miho plays bass and drums and Haruna plays drums and guitars. I'm not sure if Midori plays anything else or Asami, but to be honest, it wouldn't surprise me. They all have at least a song they composed, with Miyako having 80% of their songs. That is why Miyako is the best guitarist. She also said that she chose Metal in general because it resembles classical music. So, doubt we'll see her in hard rock or progressive bands but who knows. Not sure if you put any of these facts into the videos, kudos for that, great way to appreciate bands!
What would you say if i told you that japanese band made a cover of The Trooper by Iron Maiden and that cover actually sounds better than the original? I mean it's brighter, cleaner, with amazing female vocal, i just like it better than original IM and i know many poeple wanna kick my butt right now but i'm confident about what i just said :) The band is called Nemophila
There is a song Burden of Time where Miyako plays a duel solo on keyboard with Midori whilst hammering rhythm chords on guitar. There is a TH-cam fan cam shot of this but the audio quality isn't great. I did see a better version as part of a guitar battle compilation of leads from Bandmaid, Mary's Blood, Aldious and Lovebites.
Lovebites, in a way is a throw back (not in musical genre) to the progressive rock bands of the 1970's. Very talented musicians combining classical elements into rock music. For about the last ten years or so, rock bands, in the west have diminished due to 'easy money' groups and artists rising from talent shows. To be blunt aspiring artists and bands are judged on their market appeal and make it through to the next 'round ' based on that. When a group of musicians come along who can play and write their own music, who is interested? Certainly not the PR and marketing departments of studios, talent shows etc. Far too much investment required, better find a good looking person/ group who can be controlled and do not have any issues with 'selling out'. This is why you and others are so over whelmed by Lovebites, Band Maid, etc. An actual band who can write, perform and play to a classical trained level (in some cases) have stage presence and can entertain is a complete shock to many who only know boy/girl groups or bands who have been carefully selected and music supplied to be commercially friendly to radio stations and marketing folk.
I'm usually not a big fan of power metal kind of bands, but these ladies are something else and Miyako is just an exceptional musicians, no questions. She is phenomenal and I would like to see her in a bit more progressive band. But all fine. All respect to the ladies.
Well, this is more of a Neoclassical metal than Powermetal. They have this powermetal image a lot because of the technical quality, although they have powermetal songs, they vary a lot in the albums. They have more heavy metal songs, this one, more neoclassical, they have at least 5 more trash songs, others more progressive. Miyako has a lot of creative freedom in the band and apparently the band members like her songwriting.
AniManga House yes, I know. I know them very well since their beginning (I also loved Destrose, the nucleolus of many bands), I have all their albums and saw them 4 times live already (incl. Bloodstock). I love them most when they go towards trash. As I say exceptional musicians, they have all my respect and I absolutely adore Myako and Haruna, but to be honest, it’s impressive, but not so touching for me and unfortunately I don’t like the singing of Asami very much. But no problem, still a fantastic band with a lot of deserved fans. But I really like Myako and I would like to see her potential in a more innovative Band (Sonic Lover Reckless wasn’t it). Maybe she should join Neophilia too 😇
It is not surprising if I die in this decade. I'm that old. I'm in the middle of my seventies. And I'd love to be sent with this Shopin Piano Etude + Swan Song. I'll be sent to Valhalla as a nameless soldier.
Can you put up the link, it has dissapeared along with any reactions too. Why???? maybe Chopin piece copyrite probs, shame as it is brilliant combo of styles.Lovebite are genius ladies from another planet !
Hey brother, no disrespect to this artist but I don't have any other social media. I wanted to put a request into you to do Ozzy Osbourne's new song and video I was so impressed when you did under the graveyard hopefully you can get around to it. Hopefully everybody's happy and healthy in your family love your videos
Hi R.H, you should check this one too: Mardelas - Eclipse ( th-cam.com/video/vvx7F-Y4R88/w-d-xo.html ) the singer is former Destrose, the same band where Miho, Haruna (Lovebites) and Eye, Saki (Mary's Blood) were members too..
I have said it once I will say it again. When you first see these ladies you wouldn't think you would get the sound you do from them. You think they are some pop band but then they slap you in the face.
they could use a keyboard player instead of using backing tracks for those parts... but the standard that keyboardist would have to be is way, way high.... keyboard players are rare as hens teeth (because everyone wants to be guitar hero), but even more rare those who would agree to play in heavy metal band :D I know, I'm a keyboard player...
Gods, I really don't get how people can just pause music like this repeatedly. Messes the whole flow. Hurts my feelings, man! Or maybe chopping it up like this is the only reason you survived. I know I had to go to the hospital after this one.
Not feeling or soul.....just another speed metal band. Band Maid has talent and is different. Much better live. This girls are boring....next level not.....
Are you jelous about band maid thay are queen of rock and lovebites queen of metal that is not speed metal band more pieces to hear I propose for example supersonic speed Epilogue ballade
@@marcinpopawski8199 Lovebites.....is like Dream Theater amazing talent but no emotion what so ever. They know there instruments but don't talk to their instruments they just play them. I get one is a classical trained pianist but that doesn't not mean anything. You can play an instrument all day long perfectly but if the emotion is not there your audience won't feel it. .I've heard a thousand bands like Lovebites nothing new. Break down the parts in a Band Maid song......brilliant writing and very different. They don't have one bad song. Those girls run the stage love what they do. Lovebites stands there no stage presence and boring. I've listened to about 8 Lovebites songs and none of them had me I want to listen to that again. A few I stopped watching cause it was boring. Its like Aerosmith great studio albums absolutely one of the worst bands I've ever seen live. Bands I've seen live as in Led Zeppelin, Journey, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Boston, Early Kiss pre 80's, Foghat, ELO, The Cars, Queensryche in a club before signed, Motley Crue in clubs, Ratt before it was Ratt, Van Halen.....Bee Gees are better live than Lovebites. I'll give them time.....but I'm not betting on a long term success there. Band Maid will be changing a few things in the buisness....they play, Wright and on stage you feel their enjoyment and when the band is having fun the audience does.... Been around to long and seen to many bands and finding original bands today is impossible. Every one ones to sound like the popular band out at that time....Lovebites plays well.....same as hundreds of Nightwish copy cats or Evanescence copy cats or your viking metal......I heard that Lovebites is not even that popular like Baby Metal and Band Maid in their home country.
@@richbranch9013 No that very rich music very riche structure like in Under the Red Sky th-cam.com/video/KChT0QfuhKE/w-d-xo.html, very emotional like that reaction of Epilogue of two young DICODEC reactors from US th-cam.com/video/zBHThww7tFE/w-d-xo.html very emocional like that personal feelings of the band about passing Miho's father who supported Miho to creat that band (Miho bass player, boss and founder) 3:95 Journey to the Other Side－Edge of the World）DAUCHTERS OF THE DAWN－Live in Tokyo 2019 th-cam.com/video/oy7rcYokZyQ/w-d-xo.html. And at the end I heared the same commentaires about Band Maid fifth years ago when I watched them first Real Existance next was Trill, Dice, Onset and my favorit Order th-cam.com/video/IG71H1ZaOMY/w-d-xo.html that is old piece Misa is playing yet four string guitar. All changed after that tour east coast USA th-cam.com/video/7954Kcs1bUI/w-d-xo.html. There are three crown in Japaness music Babymetal, Band Maid and Lovebites. Regards
It's so easy. Please listen to "epilogue" by lovebites. It is so emotional. I'm a progressive rock fan, I also know lots of rock bands. But these ladies are special.
heavy metal + classic + dress in white and gold + high heel + balerina = LOVEBITES

our beautiful miyako was a classically trained pianist long before she ever picked up a guitar at 18 years of age. as you can tell! it just ain't fair i tell ya.i would say that haruna really is the engine that keeps this band running [which she is] but take away any one member and it just would not be the same. more talent than i've seen in one group maybe ever.
Like Band Maid, although different area of music, are a one in a million occurance on this plant. Both these band must be paid attentionn to and treasured forwhat they can do live.
@@paulread4886 i just dream of a band maid and lovebites combined tour. there would be no conflict as they are 2 different genres - just the best of each world
I second that first comment. Homerun ladies
Miyako started playing piano at 3 years old and didn't play guitar until she was 18.
Imagine if she started with guitar right away-at the age of 3. She would be Jimmy Hendrix now. Pure beast of a talent inside female beauty. Love this girl so much
@@zoranbl1990 I'd venture to say that her piano skills have greatly enhanced her guitar skills, she's already at a skill level on guitar that's is astonishingly good and from a technical perspective maybe better than Jimmy , maybe not quite as good as Tina S or Li-sa--x who both started at 4 or 5 on guitar.
Breathtaking and Brilliant! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Thank you for this educated reaction 🙏
You seriously need to do Lovebites Under the Red Sky in Tokyo 2019.
Yes! He must! It will change his life as it did mine.
As amazing as the entire band is, this performance shows that Miyako is the Alpha badass.
Also, I have to say I'm proud of all the Lovebites fans. I have yet to see a single video that has devolved into name calling and trolling. The girls always receive the respect usually reserved for bands like Savatage. 🤘
I had just listened to the video and shared the link on Facebook. Found this, and - yeah. Everything you just said. Hands down my favorite Lovebite so far.
they are talented in writing lyrics, their lyrics are positive, tell you about great story and sometimes poetic. If you read the lyrics of some lovebites songs you will understand. Yes, you don't need to translate in English like other Japanese bands.
Higher level suggestions hmm, you still need to check under the red sky or above the black sea by lovebites.
You need to buy the bluray, i think they have 3 so far
That piano solo is Chopin's "Revolutionary Étude" Étude Op. 10, No. 12
This is LOVEBITES only "cover" tune (not original)
they chose well.
Great reaction ! ! !
Next song, please try "epilogue"
It's also amazing 👍
Hello R D , amazing reaction , Miyako make the difference with others band metal , greetings from Chile 🇨🇱 God bless you .
all I can say is that we are so lucky to be alive in times that Miyako exists and brings tears to the eyes with her talent and versatility...bow down to the true Goddess in music today🤘🤘🤘 I can't see even a single band now that is better than Lovebites or Band-Maid in their respective genres!!! I am looking, and I am really trying to find a guitarist(s) that are better than Miyako or Midori, or Kanami, or Hal-Ca! The powers of metal shifted and they don't belong to the American or to the Scandinavian bands...they belong to - JAPAN!!!
jan 31 i found them ill never be the same i feel her playing brings back freddie no less im so moved i cried
Man, I know what you mean, 80s and then this...
Long time I ignored them because i not really like other JMetal/Rock bands...but then I heard one song... now this is my fav band i discovered the last years! I frakking love them, even bought stuff from them what i normal not do with bands :) These Ladys have so extremely high Skill it's unreal.
I saw another of their videos where the singer was plunking on the piano a bit too.
Asami can play Piano
It's on the song "We the United" which they end their set with.
Back in the 80's, there was a pop hit called "i like Chopin" by Gazebo. But now in 2020, i love Miyako playing Chopin. I'm glad to know LOVEBITES, they're a great live band. So this video is a good choice, i like your reaction.
From an interview with Lovebites in London in 2017 before they played at Hyper Japan, their first gig outside Japan.
Yeah 🤘🤘The killer band!!!
Gary moore reincarnated in a japanese goddess. I was a fan of his in my youth. Some of the most inspirational guitar work by this woman i have heard in a long time. Epilogue is out of this world. Love your reaction and you are telling the truth. The best music out there right now is japanese ladies and they are ladies too. Marysblood, bandmaid aldious, nephalis, asterism and of course lovebites. The number of views your getting from these ladies are your highest too.
Miho Miho Miho!

Yes, my friend, I am also sad, but unfortunately the barriers are very hard to break, we were inundated by Western culture, I am not saying that it is bad, but an almost insurmountable musical elite has been created, so we have to thank you for the social networks that exist, only then do we know these gems.
Yeah, Miyako has over 25 years of piano - really classically trained. She has a university degree in Music Education on piano.
Amazing
Scream at me live....shredding
She practiced piano from like toddler till she was 18 years old, she found guitar and rest is history... so she's almost concert pianist level with that thing... it's crazy.
Dude, great reaction man....
Well.. the band..nothing short of greatness.....
I'd recommend you to watch Under the Red Sky, Epilogue (ballad by Asami) and Signs of Deliverance Live at Zepp (at 3 minute mark of the Zepp version you'll flip out), those are also higher level.
Forgot one song ... Empty Dreams Asami vocals and you get to hear Miyako sing. Yes, she plays guitar, piano, bass and sings. Miho plays bass and drums and Haruna plays drums and guitars. I'm not sure if Midori plays anything else or Asami, but to be honest, it wouldn't surprise me.
They all have at least a song they composed, with Miyako having 80% of their songs. That is why Miyako is the best guitarist. She also said that she chose Metal in general because it resembles classical music. So, doubt we'll see her in hard rock or progressive bands but who knows.
Not sure if you put any of these facts into the videos, kudos for that, great way to appreciate bands!
Asami plays Piano
@@DavidMISAMISAMISACook Thanks! And Miho Miho Miho! :)
Midori seems to live in a guitar shop! I have never seen so many guitars in one house. 😜
@@ChrisPage68 are they all ESP ??
@@siscob &:-) instagram.com/p/CFhTl7jpAWp/
Midori also started piano at age three.
And Haruna plays keyboards, using them to write (Bravehearted).
great comments bro. you’re one of the best reactionist. if that’s a word. lol
What would you say if i told you that japanese band made a cover of The Trooper by Iron Maiden and that cover actually sounds better than the original? I mean it's brighter, cleaner, with amazing female vocal, i just like it better than original IM and i know many poeple wanna kick my butt right now but i'm confident about what i just said :) The band is called Nemophila
I have the same feelings the cover is better than original IM
It's good - what else would it be with Saki on guitar - but Maiden have Bruce.
Now react to Edge Of The World. You think this one hit you different? Asami will hit you hard with the beauty of her vocal range.
There is a song Burden of Time where Miyako plays a duel solo on keyboard with Midori whilst hammering rhythm chords on guitar. There is a TH-cam fan cam shot of this but the audio quality isn't great. I did see a better version as part of a guitar battle compilation of leads from Bandmaid, Mary's Blood, Aldious and Lovebites.
Lovebites, in a way is a throw back (not in musical genre) to the progressive rock bands of the 1970's. Very talented musicians combining classical elements into rock music. For about the last ten years or so, rock bands, in the west have diminished due to 'easy money' groups and artists rising from talent shows. To be blunt aspiring artists and bands are judged on their market appeal and make it through to the next 'round ' based on that. When a group of musicians come along who can play and write their own music, who is interested? Certainly not the PR and marketing departments of studios, talent shows etc. Far too much investment required, better find a good looking person/ group who can be controlled and do not have any issues with 'selling out'. This is why you and others are so over whelmed by Lovebites, Band Maid, etc. An actual band who can write, perform and play to a classical trained level (in some cases) have stage presence and can entertain is a complete shock to many who only know boy/girl groups or bands who have been carefully selected and music supplied to be commercially friendly to radio stations and marketing folk.
Sad but true!
@@RockyHarder They could play that too! 🤘
I'm usually not a big fan of power metal kind of bands, but these ladies are something else and Miyako is just an exceptional musicians, no questions. She is phenomenal and I would like to see her in a bit more progressive band. But all fine. All respect to the ladies.
Well, this is more of a Neoclassical metal than Powermetal.
They have this powermetal image a lot because of the technical quality, although they have powermetal songs, they vary a lot in the albums. They have more heavy metal songs, this one, more neoclassical, they have at least 5 more trash songs, others more progressive. Miyako has a lot of creative freedom in the band and apparently the band members like her songwriting.
AniManga House yes, I know. I know them very well since their beginning (I also loved Destrose, the nucleolus of many bands), I have all their albums and saw them 4 times live already (incl. Bloodstock). I love them most when they go towards trash. As I say exceptional musicians, they have all my respect and I absolutely adore Myako and Haruna, but to be honest, it’s impressive, but not so touching for me and unfortunately I don’t like the singing of Asami very much. But no problem, still a fantastic band with a lot of deserved fans. But I really like Myako and I would like to see her potential in a more innovative Band (Sonic Lover Reckless wasn’t it). Maybe she should join Neophilia too 😇
You should def do Hammer of Wrath from them. This song may redefined the word “Trashy”in the Heavy Metal Universe!! So Good and UNREAL!
HARUNA!!! HARUNA!!! HARUNA!!!

romantic song in power metal... made me tearing up... \m/
LOVEBITES RULE!!!
It is not surprising if I die in this decade. I'm that old. I'm in the middle of my seventies. And I'd love to be sent with this Shopin Piano Etude + Swan Song. I'll be sent to Valhalla as a nameless soldier.
See you on the spaceship.
IMHO, Swan Song was inspired by Bohemian Rhapsody🎵
Miyako loves Queen💕
anyway the wind blows…Beautiful Swan Asami☺
No, it was inspired by Dvorak's "New World Symphony" and Chopin.
Next song Empty daydream 🤘🤘
Great analysis
Miyako is so amazing and so talented it's crazy. Well, they all are...
What about "Raise some hell"?
My beautiful wife has a big crush on MIYAKO. great reaction sir
Actually, Miyako is a classical pianist
The big 5 naa the big 1
Nice reaction. Have you listened to them lately?
YOU reaction like!
Can you put up the link, it has dissapeared along with any reactions too. Why???? maybe Chopin piece copyrite probs, shame as it is brilliant combo of styles.Lovebite are genius ladies from another planet !
Hey brother, no disrespect to this artist but I don't have any other social media. I wanted to put a request into you to do Ozzy Osbourne's new song and video I was so impressed when you did under the graveyard hopefully you can get around to it. Hopefully everybody's happy and healthy in your family love your videos
Prepare some kleenex for Epilogue, because you will cry for sure...
Hi R.H, you should check this one too: Mardelas - Eclipse ( th-cam.com/video/vvx7F-Y4R88/w-d-xo.html )
the singer is former Destrose, the same band where Miho, Haruna (Lovebites) and Eye, Saki (Mary's Blood) were members too..
React to NEMOPHILA / 雷霆 -RAITEI- please!
🤘🤘🤘🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🔥🔥🔥
I have said it once I will say it again. When you first see these ladies you wouldn't think you would get the sound you do from them. You think they are some pop band but then they slap you in the face.
they could use a keyboard player instead of using backing tracks for those parts... but the standard that keyboardist would have to be is way, way high.... keyboard players are rare as hens teeth (because everyone wants to be guitar hero), but even more rare those who would agree to play in heavy metal band :D
I know, I'm a keyboard player...
Gods, I really don't get how people can just pause music like this repeatedly. Messes the whole flow. Hurts my feelings, man!
Or maybe chopping it up like this is the only reason you survived. I know I had to go to the hospital after this one.
It gets blocked otherwise.
Asians..........
Not feeling or soul.....just another speed metal band. Band Maid has talent and is different. Much better live. This girls are boring....next level not.....
Are you jelous about band maid thay are queen of rock and lovebites queen of metal that is not speed metal band more pieces to hear I propose for example supersonic speed Epilogue ballade
@@marcinpopawski8199
Lovebites.....is like Dream Theater amazing talent but no emotion what so ever. They know there instruments but don't talk to their instruments they just play them. I get one is a classical trained pianist but that doesn't not mean anything. You can play an instrument all day long perfectly but if the emotion is not there your audience won't feel it. .I've heard a thousand bands like Lovebites nothing new. Break down the parts in a Band Maid song......brilliant writing and very different. They don't have one bad song. Those girls run the stage love what they do. Lovebites stands there no stage presence and boring. I've listened to about 8 Lovebites songs and none of them had me I want to listen to that again. A few I stopped watching cause it was boring.
Its like Aerosmith great studio albums absolutely one of the worst bands I've ever seen live. Bands I've seen live as in Led Zeppelin, Journey, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Boston,
Early Kiss pre 80's, Foghat, ELO, The Cars, Queensryche in a club before signed, Motley Crue in clubs, Ratt before it was Ratt, Van Halen.....Bee Gees are better live than Lovebites.
I'll give them time.....but I'm not betting on a long term success there. Band Maid will be changing a few things in the buisness....they play, Wright and on stage you feel their enjoyment and when the band is having fun the audience does....
Been around to long and seen to many bands and finding original bands today is impossible. Every one ones to sound like the popular band out at that time....Lovebites plays well.....same as hundreds of Nightwish copy cats or Evanescence copy cats or your viking metal......I heard that Lovebites is not even that popular like Baby Metal and Band Maid in their home country.
Watched another Lovebites video.....their music is easy to play. Its simple.....Faster it is the easier it is....thats the truth there....lol
@@richbranch9013 No that very rich music very riche structure like in Under the Red Sky th-cam.com/video/KChT0QfuhKE/w-d-xo.html, very emotional like that reaction of Epilogue of two young DICODEC reactors from US th-cam.com/video/zBHThww7tFE/w-d-xo.html very emocional like that personal feelings of the band about passing Miho's father who supported Miho to creat that band (Miho bass player, boss and founder) 3:95 Journey to the Other Side－Edge of the World）DAUCHTERS OF THE DAWN－Live in Tokyo 2019 th-cam.com/video/oy7rcYokZyQ/w-d-xo.html. And at the end I heared the same commentaires about Band Maid fifth years ago when I watched them first Real Existance next was Trill, Dice, Onset and my favorit Order th-cam.com/video/IG71H1ZaOMY/w-d-xo.html that is old piece Misa is playing yet four string guitar. All changed after that tour east coast USA th-cam.com/video/7954Kcs1bUI/w-d-xo.html. There are three crown in Japaness music Babymetal, Band Maid and Lovebites. Regards
It's so easy. Please listen to "epilogue" by lovebites. It is so emotional. I'm a progressive rock fan, I also know lots of rock bands. But these ladies are special.
Love your reaction - once again - but your headset seems to make a clicking noise when you move it...
