masterpiece🤘🏻🐺🤘🏻
Miyako is clasically trained on piano since age 3, taught herself guitar around age 19, Midori also was trained on piano, dropped out of university at age 20 and went to guitar academy.
Thanks for your information👍
Not only are they super talented, the songwriting is so strong. It's the whole package. Something that only comes along once in a generation, if we are lucky.
No other metal band has a pianist and a ballerina.
This is a worldview that only Love Bites can provide.
ピアニストとバレリーナが在籍しているメタルバンドなんて、他に有りません。
これはラブバイツだけにしか出せない世界観です。
LOVE this song 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺
the most beautiful song in the world😍
Music, art, beauty-LOVEBITES...
Miyako was born in a musicians family and they put her in a piano school since age three. Also I think it was her mom that liked old rock like Queen and Rainbow so that's what she grew listening to. So at 19 she took a guitar and started to play in some little band. She wanted to make a living with music so when Miho created Lovebites she already had seen her and called her for her new band. That's how it happens xD
And Miho, she said she learnt about Heavy Metal watching TH-cam and grew to love it so she learnt bass and got to play in a band called Destrose, that was a band from which a lot of other bands have been born later. Lovebites, Mary's Blood, Fate Gear, Lonesome Blue and more bands in the actual japanese scene come from there. Japan has a very good infrastructure for female metal bands to grow.
Yes her mom was a fan of Queen just like my wife, and Miyako confessed that she got inspired by Brian May when she was starting playing guitar.
Swan Song is their Bohemian Rhapsody, so Queen track from Mum makes sense. My mother heavily influenced me, her first vinyl club purchases being , Muddy Waters, Leadbellly to Indian sitar and Bach . Throw in Santana and Spanish flamenco, and i had quite a basket of goodies to start me off as a guitarist/bassist. It still is with me.
@@paulread4886 Hi, if you like Spanish music, how about Latin American. Cuban son, Kiki Valera th-cam.com/video/cfim-8cO8XE/w-d-xo.html. Peruvian musica criolla, Chabuca Granda th-cam.com/video/KisngEru6sQ/w-d-xo.html.
Bro thanks for your information...you uploded swan song in your channel....everynight i see swan song before i sleep...i believe swan song is the best song in the world and miyako is amazing mucisian that i have seen in my life...i born in 1966..i am mucisian from indonesian....until know i dont believe love bites is a humans...all song lovebites very amazing for me...all person lovebite like angels from the heaven...love lovebites forever.....
So Destrose is sort of the Japanese version of Helloween :D
they always surprise and never disappoint.
Its crazy to Know that Midori and Miyako grab the guitar only 10-12 years ago...
Time doesn't mean much to gifted people....I assure you that as being a dull guitarist for nearly 60 years myself. lol
Wow
In fact both were already performers about more than 5 years ago. Nowadays, guitarist rise up to the occasion fast because of their passion to excel and impress, facilitated by the advent of internet providing live exposures on a diversified scale. But their longevity and expiry is uncertain, unless they have similar intrinsic qualities which both Miyako and Midori possess. Both M's have been schooled and trained to develop strong fundamental knowledge and application of music theory, able to read, write and compose and arrange. And along these lines they have shown their sense of rhythm and adherence to time signature dynamics as impeccable, almost like they have an in built metronome in them. (including Miho and Haruna). These qualities are usually found in the fusion, prog and jazz world. But a rarity in the heavy metal rock world. Take any 2 guitarist who has played for life, and if these fundamentals and rhythm qualities are absent, they can kiss goodbye to any chance of doing similar M&M dual harmonization.The 2M's are testament to the fact that the acquisition of music theory knowledge will accelerate the learning abilities to meaningfully comprehend and master the instrument as well as develop composition skills. That is primarily the reason perhaps why Miyako need not necessarily enroll into a formal Guitar Institute. Besides that, its her passion for music, her humble and openness demeanor and life long learning journey in Music
Well, guitar legends and greats like Metheny, Dimeola, Vai, Satriani, Petrucci, Eric Johnson, Steve Lukather and the current young virtuoso Matteo Mancusso all went to Music School to learn.
Just sharing my 2 cents worth!
Thank god they did 🙏🙏👌
Japan embraces music education & encourages those with some proficiency too continue their studies, they have schools devoted too the study of music theory & individual instraments such as guitar, piano & drums as well as other instruments. All in all its a nurturing invironment for music nerds. The dark haired guitarist / piano player Miyako was in her 1st yr at a university studying classical piano when she picked up a guitar, taught herself how too play & fell in love with it. Midoori the blonde guitarist had a background in piano but was at a university studying business when she picked up a guitar, fell in love with it & dropped out of the school too study guitar. They all took a different road too the same place. ❤️🎙🎸🎹🥁😎👌
In Japan There are a dozen all female metal bands Band Maid,Lovebites,Nemophila,Aldious,Bridear,Mary's Blood,Fategear,Hanabe,Gacharic Spin
And then some.... that's just the tip of the iceberg!
I've found around 600, around 100 of which seem to be currently active....Of course, you named some of the best and most long lasting. Have to add Show-Ya, Hagane, Cyntia....Plus the mixed gender bands like Asterism, Unlucky Morpheus etc. It's insane.
@@michaelafrancis1361 yes Trident is another
@@hiawatha.g Asterism is really awesome
@@evilvolts Amazing, for sure.
I loved the reaction. More Lovebites! Awesome band! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you Marcos! :)
Very cool! Enjoyed your great reaction! I wanna play guitar 🎸 like that! 💕
Yes, everybody wants to. 🤘🐺🤘
This is what it sounds like when Doves AND Ravens cry... 😭
😄👏👏👏🫶
and here's an old bull crying too.
@@gatograto And you are not alone my friend...
@@gatograto 😂🤣😂
@@erikjohnson1960 🤘🐺🤘 nice to know I'm not alone 🤘🐺🤘
I believe in Japan is way more in their culture to foster an interest for music in an early age. With Lovebites specifically, they all started pretty young age mostly on piano, later on transitioning to their instruments.I think the exception might be the singer Asami who was in ballet as a child. Both guitarists actually picked up the guitar "late" at around 19/20 years old.
Incredible band!! 🤘🐺🤘
Thank you Jorge! Ya definitely seems like a cultural thing. 🤘👏😃🫶
Jorge, this is what I wanted to say but my English was too awkward. 🤘🐺🤘
@@StrateleStudios I want to add to what Jorge has said. I believe that Miyako began playing guitar at 18 and joined her first band a year later. When deciding to learn guitar, Miyako decided to start with a series of instructional books where each book taught a metal song step by step. Whether she chose metal by chance or choice, she was an amazingly fast self learner. When Midori decided to learn guitar at age 20, she inquired about what was the hardest genre of music for guitarists. When told by many that it was metal, that was the direction she went. She seems to thrive on challenges. Haruna has been playing drums since a young age and was the drummer in school rock bands since before high school. She has always been a fan of rock and metal. Her first real band was the all female metal band Destrose which she joined in early 2012 (probably right out of high school). She remained a member of Destrose until early 2015, which ended up being the final year of Destrose. I think Haruna left Destrose because of getting married. The bass player in Destrose was Miho who had joined shortly before Haruna. Miho, in my opinion, was the pure metalhead of the group. When Destrose ended, Miho decided she wanted to form a metal band with an old school heavy metal sound. She convinced Haruna to get back in the game and found both Midori and Miyako. Miho wanted a vocalist that could sing completely in English and had soaring vocals in the Bruce Dickinson style. Then entered Asami who had had lived in the US for awhile to learn dance and who had a background singing R&B and Soul in English. Asami was exactly what Miho was looking for in a vocalist.
@@gatograto. Texan accent does'nt work on YT 😜
@@kent-oveprestberg3578 🤘🐺🤘 Lol, but I got my Japanese accent like Asami does which I'm proud of, lol 🤘🐺🤘
Awesome as Always. Lovebites isnt an ordinary Metal band by any means. They are so much more. In Japan Music is a mandatory club in school. They reward you for excellence just like anywhere though. Music,Art and Performing arts is a Core Study from early child hood and why Japan is the Vast Expanse of Unique and BadAss Performances and Art.
I agree. 👍
Yes , these girls started on piano at 3 0 4 to 5 years old , and Haruna another instrument . Midori and Miyako only started learning guitar in college, Miho and Haruna ( played in Destose for 11 years and haruna for 1). So along with Asami's 16 years of classical ballet training and Miyako, classical concert experience on piano. This a powerful bag of talent and education we have here in Lovebites, something that no other band I am aware of has, and why they stand out with their amazing compositional understanding , writing and performance at a very high level. Some people have commented, " It should be illegal to have so much talent in just one band ". This is a 1 in a million combination of talent we will not see for probably another decade, if ever. This band is DESTINED to perform with a full orchestra, and slay the planet !... just my dream perhaps : )
Kickass GOOD. Agree the acoustic guitar and piano was eloquently included as a bridge is so pleasant! So busy of a song but so addictive.
Yup, this is a great one. Love the way this song is constructed and the theatrical presentation adds another nice layer. Fantastic stuff.
Hi there. I started follow your channel when you reacted to Dirty Loops and followed you since. I´m very happy you have find the best metal band i´ve ever listen to. I have listen to a few (ironie). I´m a very gray haired, old metal head (Self Sarkasm). You have a treasure chest of fantastic songs from this amazing band to discover. Love from Sweden.
You are an early adopter! Love it!!!
Genius masterpiece of Ladies. This is song of Asami with her very sentimental lyrics . Music was composed commonly with Mao who colaborates with Ladies. To the others Mega Masterpieces , Frozen Serenade and Epilogue. The rest about 50 songs are Masterpieces. Stay Lovebites.
🤘🐺🤘Asami, the graceful ballerina and her 4 Rock Grrrls
Surely one of the best bands out there!!! I just saw that they played Wacken too.
The whole package is top notch, the singer has a killer vibrato and they all shred with ease and taste...
Asami has a hell of a range too.
btw Miyako also plays the Keytar instrument on the song "Spellbound". I hope you also review it one day \m/
Good reaction
Theatrical beauty of the highest calibre 🐺
🤘🐺🤘🎼Ultra High Def. Metal🤘Blu-ray live 126min🤩
Welcome to lovebites,this is so awesome
If you like acoustic guitars and piano you should check out Lovebite's "Epilogue" and for more piano "Swan Song" (with the Chopin piano intro) and "Emtpy Daydream". You will not be disappointed. IMO Lovebites are one of, if not the most, talented, versatile and innovative bands out trhere, and not just in Japan.There is definitely something about heavy metal that young Japanese women like and start out playing metal rather than progressing to it. Before Lovebites the drummer and bassist played in an all female metal band and the two guitarists started out playing in metalcore bands. I remember hearing the bassist say that she spayed in a Pantera cover band when she was in high school. However they do not live the heavy metal rock and roll lifestyle of many British and American bands. They are just interested in palaying the music.There are many very proficient all female metal bands active in Japan today. You should definitrly check out Nemophila, Mary's Blood, Aldious, Hanabie, Hagane, Doll$Boxx, Lonesome Blue, Bridear, FateGear for starters and two instrumental mixed male/female bands are definitely with checking out Asterism and D_Drive. If you want any more names I can give you a dizen or more immediately.
Listening to "Epilogue" is a duty. It is at least mandatory for everyone seriously interested in this band. "Epilogue" belongs to The Crown Jewels of Lovebites' treasure chamber of songs. I.m.h.o. 🐺
Since you brought up their origins: 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 soul of the band) had a vision of a new band in the style of the greatest 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 bands. The whole group then found Asami, the singer, who was doing soul and blues at the time (she also trained in ballet). Miyako has composed most 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.
They studied all the great historical metal bands going back to Purple and Sabbath, through Maiden, Priest, Metallica, Helloween, Slayer etc. They toured with Dragonforce in 2019, and word from those in attendance is that next time around, it will be the ladies headlining. 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.
This is one of their usual first songs for reactors, and rightly so--you get a good sense of the band. 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 a demon). 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."
Yes, check out "Swan Song" with the Chopin Etude. It's another masterpiece.
What's going on in Japan? Music Education from Elementary to Junior High. Many kids play in school bands and orchestras from a young age - AND they are being taught music to go with it. In High School many Music Clubs are formed, and the ones who want to express themselves start getting electric guitars and drum kits - with the hope of playing in some of the MANY venues in Japan that have Live music. Fast forward 5 or 10 years and they've become 25-30 year old Professional Musicians >> the Cream rises to the top >> and you get Lovebites, Nemophila, Band Maid, Trident, Unlucky Morpheus . . . And they can make a living because the Japanese LOVE music (music education?) and go to their shows and buy their CDS & DVDs. JMHO
Bloody Lovebites jus doin what they always do....blowin my friggin mind.
In Japan, one in four children learn either piano or swimming from an early age.
That is why japanese female bands have piano experience.
Many of them played brass bands as a club activity in junior high or high school.
Another good reaction Jeff these ladies are truly amazing
Thanks Lyn! 😊
Great reaction, please keep on reacting more Lovebites
I definitely will! :)
Check out the ratio of girls vs boy musicians in Japanese schools. You’ll get your answer. 😊
Japans schools are different than ours they start music a lot earlier than ours and students are encourage to try different instruments to see which one they like.
LOVEBITES 🤘🐺🤘
Miyako started play piano at 3 years age , Asami was i former RnB singer , Haruna and the former basplayer Miho started Lovebites when they leave there former band
Awesome review. Chopin thing you are talking about is Swan Song with Revolutionary Etude th-cam.com/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/w-d-xo.html. The question about skill level of these girls, is a subject pops up once in a while. In Japan, music is taught from elementary school and that can be the bottom line. More over in female case, they learn some cultural activity from very young like from 2, 3 to 5 years old, while boys go some athletic activities. In the case of Lovebites, they all play piano, and the singer Asami learned ballet from her 2, I don't know much about Miho the bassist but I know her late dad was a metal head, Haruna learned piano and started drumming at her 14, 15, Miyako started playing piano at her 3 and going to be a piano teacher at Yamaha piano school but she met a guitar at her 18 and taught herself, Midori the blond guitarist also started piano at her 2 becoming pharmaceutical technician but dropped out at her 20 and went guitar school. They all got involved with not metal but somehow music very young. That must be the bottom line.
LOVEBITES RULES!!!
About the activities of female bands in Japan.
I think that the current Japanese culture is influenced by the high tolerance for conformity, traditions, customs, etc. (= In other words, a society with less restrictions due to stereotypes)
It is a society that accepts people even if they do things that are slightly different from others. Even if you wear unique clothes (cosplay) on the subway, or if a woman is crazy about rock music or plays a musical instrument, it seems that there is little rejection at school/home/public places. (Nowadays, the phrases "because I'm a woman..." and "because I'm a woman..." are becoming obsolete.)
That's why girls want to be in a band in the same way that they want to be idols, and they start doing it.
The birth of BABYMETAL in Japan is symbolic.
It can be said that BABYMETAL was born out of the “tolerance” of Japanese society.
If BABYMETAL tried to debut from a conservative city in America or Europe...would the locals have allowed it? ? ?
Even if a rock band wears white clothes, high heels, miniskirts, or maid outfits, I don't think there are many rock fans in Japan who think negatively about it, saying it's "unusual, weird, and doesn't follow rock tradition." .

*It is a sentence using Google translation. I hope I conveyed my intentions correctly.
After listening to all of their songs and watching almost every video of them, I finally know what Lovebites are *NOT* capable of:
To bore. 😁
Hahaha I agree!
You should try all female Hard Rock band BAND-MAID for another take on the Japanese music scene 😁 Yes Chopin etude + Swan Song is must!
To add what others have already said,the arts haven't been eliminated from the school curriculum in East Asian countries like they have largely been in the West, and you'll find that a lot of Japanese and Chinese women are very proficient pianists or violinists as those are the two instruments they lean toward as children, or that their parents steer them toward. When I was a kid, our school still had a music program, but we could only choose brass or woodwind instruments, so I got stuck with clarinet, which was my third choice. They didn't offer guitar or drums or any "cool" instruments, and if you wanted to study piano or violin, you had to do private lessons. But the music program at my old school, and most schools here, has been eliminated entirely now, while in Japan, they not only offer music classes, but also after-school music clubs. To the other part of your question, I think you're right about the electric guitar and "heavy metal" generally appealing to boys more than girls, but in Japan there's less of a tribal mentality around genres. Musicians often want to try playing in all different genres as part of being a good musician, and a lot of (especially classically trained) musicians discover heavy metal at a later age and delve into it because it's the most challenging style of popular music and the most similar to classical music. This happened with both Midori and Miyako, who both studied piano from age 2 or 3 and began learning the guitar as late teens. There's also a longstanding tradition of popular female hard rock and heavy metal artists in Japan, so it's not as much of a male dominated field as it is in the West where women in metal are still seen as a novelty, unfortunately.
What an incredibly informative and concise answer to my question! I’d like to award you with a 🏆 TOP COMMENTER REQUEST! Send me a link of a video you’d like me to react to and I’ll add it to my list. 👏👏👏
@@StrateleStudios Oh, cool, that's awesome. I'll send you a link to a song by one of the most popular and influential female artists in the history of Japan, and also perhaps the most eclectic and diverse "mainstream" artist in the world, and quite possibly a genius in the musical sense, Shiina Ringo (also stylized as Sheena Ringo). This song is called "Gips", which translates to "Orthopedic Cast". It's from 2000, made it to number 3 on the Oricon chart (like Japanese Billboard) and was certified 2x platinum. This is a live version from 2003, which I uploaded myself years ago and titled cryptically so nobody could find it. One of these days I should upload a proper 2022 quality HD version. Anyway, it's taken from her "Expo '03" live dvd. She's playing my dream guitar in this clip, a black and gold-plated checkerboard Duesenberg Starplayer TV SHIINA Ringo signature model, which is a thing of beauty. Here's the link, SHIIINA Ringo - Gips th-cam.com/video/pegFbqyTaTM/w-d-xo.html
Hey Jeff!! Welcome back to Lovebites.. Another great reaction to a phenominal song.. To answer one of your many questions.. These aren't the only 5 amazing female musicians in a metal band from Japan.. Here are a few more for you if you get the time.. Band maid (hard rock) Hagane, Aldious, Gacharic spin, and Marys blood . There are loads more.. Best wishes and thanks for coming back to Lovebites..
Oh ya I know about a few other bands I was speaking in general because there are many of these female metal bands coming out of Japan. They seem to be cultivating these bands way more than let say in the U.S. It fascinating to me to see the caliber of musicianship! 😃😃😃 I think of their parents giving them an Ibanez guitar as a little girl instead of a doll 😂🤘🫶
@@StrateleStudios Yes.. Watching these girls the guitar oiver the doll makes alot of sense..
The level of musicienship is staggering.. Take a look a a newish band called Hagane (steel in Japanese) watch the mv for the song Super villan.. You may not be ready for the almost 7 minutes of sheer in your face awesomeness.. Go on... I dare you. :) Thanks for the reply and rock on!!! Best wishes from France..
@@grantnealon5101 oh cool I’ll check them out! Thanks Grant! 👏🤘🫶
@@StrateleStudios You are very welcome.. Look forward to the reaction..
Breaking news: our She-Wolves have announced that their new album, Judgement Day, will drop on Feb 23rd, 2023! With Fami's talent on bass, this new chapter is going to be a ride!
LOVEBITES 🐺 INCREDIBLE
Japan's Music Academia is top notch. Probably the Best in the World. Love this band and everything about them, Just for reference, I'm an Old School Thrash Head. That 's what I grew up listening to as my preference. Started out in life wanting to be a Classical Guitarist. Puberty, Alcohol and Women got in the way. Top 3 Bands are Testament, Overkill and Exodus. I find so much of those influences in Lovebites Music. Almost as if they are bringing it back with a Boom. Enjoyed your reaction. will subscribe. Plenty more Japanese Bands out there that are almost as killer as these lady's..🤘✌
Thanks Fred!
Wow... This is my favorit song🔥
In Japan, the arts are important in their education system so 1 in 4 Japanese have learned to play at least one instrument while growing up. Those that continue on playing a musical instrument tend to be technically proficient. As you discovery new/other Japanese bands, you'll notice how very technical the musicians are. According to a recent discussion by former Megadeth guitarist Marty Friedman who has been residing in Japan for over 20 years, there are not that many guitarists in Japan that wows him because so many Japanese guitarists have technical abilities using different techniques. Japanese musicians are just that good, focused, talented, and gifted.
Great comment, thank you!
There may be two dozen masterpieces in the history of rock. “A Day in the Life” by the Beatles; “The End” by the Doors; “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen; “Kashmir” by Led Zeppelin; “Layla” by Derek and the Dominoes; “Starless” by King Crimson; “Ghost Love Score”, by Nightwish… and perhaps a dozen more. What most of them have in common is gorgeous writing, jedi-level musicianship, and excellent production. But other great songs have those things. What separates masterpieces from merely great songs, is they tell a story, taking you through a range of emotions until they overwhelm you. Few rock groups have ever produced a masterpiece-some of the greatest never managed it. Lovebites, in five short years, have given us several. For me this rivals “Swan Song” as their greatest.
My Lovebites 🏴 🐺 🤘 The Crying Song 😢
Hey Jeff,
Haven't seen a ton from these girls yet, but a couple I have seen that you will probably enjoy as well, are Holy Wars and Swan Song (with Chopin piano intro).
Another all female Japanese band I recommend is Nemophila . Dissension ,Reitei, Oiran, and Adabana should get you started.
Thanks Chris! 😊😊😊
LOVEBITES - A Frozen Serenade lyrics:
Crystal tears Falling from the skies
Veiling fears The emptiness inside
Time is just passing by
Killing me under the soft twilight
A frozen melody
Of doves and ravens dancing in melancholy
A distant memory
If only this snow could erase the pain
I'd wake up in a serenade
One life ends
And one life begins
Evanesce
To our origins
When I'm lost on my way
Lead my heart and guide me with your grace
A frozen melody
Of doves and ravens dancing in melancholy
A distant memory
If only this snow could erase the pain
I'd wake up in a serenade
Just like a dream, just like a bird
I'll keep on singing out
Even if my voice cannot reach you
Seasons may pass, but its beauty will never fade away
All living things are precious and irreplaceable
Just like a dream, just like a bird
I'll keep on singing out
Even if my voice cannot reach you
White butterflies are fluttering under the silver sky
If only I could wish to see you once more

You have 2 dive deeper into women rock in Japan. It's a wounderous thing❣
Yes, SWAN SONG [+ Chopin intro] is the one you want to listen to next. But also HOLY WARS.
NEMOPHILA are another all-female Japanese Heavy Metal quintet with twin lead guitar. Try OIRAN, MONSTERS, DISSENTION, ADABANA, and REVIVE. You will see that they command a variety of musical styles and their vocalist is extremely versatile.
I have wondered if they have something special in the water, it must be something, somewhere.
No jokes aside, they are very serious about the teaching music..
Like it was here in Sweden up to late seventies, but after that they failed...
Why are there so many women dominated bands in Japan? It’s an unintended cultural result. Due to the Japanese culture of valuing music education in their early childhood school system and the Japanese corporate culture being male dominated with women being expected to entertain men, it’s only natural that women would slip into these musical roles. Men dominate in the workplace while women dominate in entertainment. That’s why there are so many women dominated bands in Japan.
Great response! 👏👏👏🫶
this song qualifies to be said to be a masterpiece classification....anyways good reaction sir
Thank you Pedrus! 😊
@@StrateleStudios my pleasure :)
Thanks, Jeff. I like that piano section, but I can't figure out who played that string synth run at 4:58 . (4m27s on the original)
Backing track, probably recorded by Miyako.
Ya probably a backing track
More proficiency to be found in Band Maid, also Japanese, but nothing like Lovebites. Subscribed to your channel, despite seeing a lot of stuff that does not turn me on, but you like Floor,Nightwish,Lovebites, let's see where else you diversify into :) I am normally in the hard rock scene from the late 60's ,70's, as I am an old man now, but have taken on Lovebites, Band Maid, symphonic stuff like Nightwish, Epica, stuff like Wintersun and gone full nuts I think in appreciating in Lorna Shore to some extent lol, and other stuff, but Dimash etc, yeah, nah. See what ya come up with :)
