One of best speed metal songs I've heard in 40 years. Being that this was raw and a last song of the set, Asami did a great job with the demands placed on her voice with this song at the end of an entire set. I urge you on your own to go back and listen to either the studio or band reaction studio version. Lovebites ARE the METAL QUEENS 🤘

This concert was the Tokyo leg of the "judgement Day" tour back in September last year, and it was LIVE streamed to an international audience. The video you just reacted to is a rip from that LIVE stream. Hence, what you heard was raw with no post production. "Soldier Stands Solitarily" was indeed the last song on the set before 3 encores.
On the bands reaction video to this song even Haruna complained that this one was fast. 😂. This was streamed live by the record company and yes the sound isn't as good as usual but still a joy to behold.

Oh no, the audio to that video is the worst decision in my eyes. You should have taken the video that Rainer recommended. But the song itself is a bombshell! Lovebites❤

There’s a reason the band states very clearly no recording or streaming of their live stream events - the band cares very much about their presentation and audio, which with a direct live feed is as raw as it comes. In the venue you have the PA and effects as programmed through the desk, but here it’s direct. The live stream was a paid event, but these rips are exactly that - ripoffs where the band gets no revenue at all. So, it’s a double negative - not only is the audio raw, but the band receives nothing. I wish you had at least done the other version you mentioned, which is also ripped from a live stream, but at least is full quality. 🤘🎸🐺
Personally, I much prefer this sound to the post-modified sound of the engineers. It better recreates the concert experience you get live. You don't go to concerts to hear everything perfectly, you go to see the band live. It's perfect and atmospheric. :)
They're talented musician, Haruna always be the engine, thank you reacting Lovebites, carry on, tons to go, please check We The Resurection or Dissonance, crazy god, Great reaction 👍👍
Great reaction Todd. It's nice to listen to your talk but your opening music is a little overly loud though. Yes, the albums Knockin' At The Heaven's Gate 1&2 are poor in the mixing. It is a bit frustrating.
This song is in my top ten all time metal songs. Lovebites is the best metal band to come along in 20 years.
Warp speed. They are incredible.

You could tell she was worn out before this song started. In the future they should perform this song earlier in the setlist.
This song has been nominated as one of the best songs for 2023 in Japan as has the album Judgement day! Results will be out next week
Where can be the poll found?
LOVEBITES - Soldier Stands Solitarily lyrics:
If tomorrow never comes
Was it ever even here? Nobody knows
Trying to find key to the door
It's me and no one else
All in my hand
Things aren't as easy as "right" and "wrong'
You only need one thing to be proud of
Solitary soldier
Fighting till the end
I'm not satisfied
Solitary fire
Even with the scars
I'm not satisfied
If I can take it all back
Daydreaming won't change a thing, so worthless
Life is always back and forth of hurting and getting hurt
Can't change this
I have been searching for something long
Not enough time to care what others think
Solitary soldier
Fighting till the end
I'm not satisfied
Solitary fire
Even with the scars
I'm not satisfied
SOLOS: miyako / midori / both
Things aren't as easy as "right" and "wrong'
You only need one thing to be proud of
Solitary soldier
Fighting till the end
I'm not satisfied
Solitary fire
Even with the scars
I'm not satisfied
Solitary soldier
Fighting till the end
I'm not satisfied
Solitary fire
Even with the scars
I'm not satisfied

Miyako apologized to Haruna and Asami for the pace. 🙂
@@One808 Yes, and they responded by making "ogre" faces at her 😂😂
It's a song that Asami and Haruna are about to fall down due to lack acid.
Love love Midori💚💚💚💚💚
