This song is a genuine masterpiece, and we all knew what was coming when you reacted to it. Fun fact - on the album, Miyako plays the acoustic solo, and Midori had to learn it for the live show so that Miyako could play the piano! Midori actually posted clips showing her learning it, which was cool. Now, if you want to see Miyako performing double duty during the solo section, here's the song you need: Lovebites - Burden of Time: th-cam.com/video/4OBf_Gn8efs/w-d-xo.html That's a"studio live" performance, or if you want to see them really raw in a 2018 live performance, there's this one: th-cam.com/video/JnNtYpGZKKY/w-d-xo.html.
I'm so glad you finally got round to one of my all-time fav Lovebites songs ! This track is an epic masterpiece and listening to it is just pure eargasm. "I'd like to see anybody step up to this" - precisely ! BTW, this is the song where Miyako played the keyboards and guitar at the same time - "Burden of Time" : th-cam.com/video/4OBf_Gn8efs/w-d-xo.html .
Has there ever been heavy metal music that moves your heart and moves you to tears? I don't think we could have created such a masterpiece unless we were a heavy metal band whose members include a classical pianist and a classical ballet dancer.
Yes, Asami is a ballerina she was training classical dance for many years. She is lately Miss Flamenco in her designed stylized "el vestido blanco con la rosa blanca en el pecho" in which she has been performing since June 2024. Yes, Lovebites is also a tearjerker and you are not the first person to experience it.
The ladies performed this at Tokyo Garden Theatre on Sept 1st and it was even more magical, with “real” snow falling across the stage. It was an amazing experience to be there and witness these incredible women performing their art so brilliantly!
Because the album Electric Pentagram came out in winter, Asami wanted a sad winter ballad. Miyako played the acoustic guitar on the studio recording, but Live, Midori has to play it, because Miyako is busy on the piano! 🤘
Great and fitting reaction. ❤ Before the start of Frozen Serenade on September 1st, Asami asked us (about 8,000) to turn on our cellphone-lights and mosr complied. What followed can only be described as magical and many in attendence (me included) were a crying mess out of pure joy.
AGREED, I was there with many audiences (includes you). It was not easy for wolfpack to come thru heavy rain right after the typhoon, but it was rewarded by incredible performance of the band. unforgettable night. 最高でした。
a band, that can perform songs like this one and "soldier stand solitarily" so perfect? these young ladies deserve so much more recognition !!! and thank you for this great reaction and appreciciaton of lovebites.
The greatest. Brings tears to my eyes. Seeing all 3 shows in the US next week. No band has inspired me to see them that many times and I’ll see them again any time I get the chance. Once in a lifetime band.
Finally: THIS is an indicator for real purpose of art ! To generate deep emotions ! Emotions are the highest expressions of everybody's soul. They are divine.
Every one a master of their craft with, in my view one of one of the best front ladies ever in Asami( Fairy, Angel, Ballerina). I'm 73 years old, and these ladies are some of the best I have ever heard. ❤️ ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Miyako is so incredibly talented, a virtuoso and maestro for real. That piano playing while wearing her guitar like a necklace! And choosing that Spanish acoustic against it was a fine choice. Nice to see Asami getting to use her skills as a ballerina too, which she used to do before letting us hear her wonderful voice. This band is beyond perfection. I bet you have a nice playlist of their songs in the car by now!
ASAMI studied ballet dancing from 5 yo. to high school (16 yo.), then she was told that she couldn't be a professional dancer because of her height (4'8"), so she began to study singing and went to US to study R&B, Jazz and Gospel...
Thank you for this information about Asami. I am curious about the source as it has differences from what I have read & heard in commentary by the band (JPU VOD). The differences: studied ballet for 16 years & went to USA after high school to study Jazz & Hip-hop dance where she discovered her singing ability & sang US National Anthem at a sports event to much praise, returning to Japan to pursue Cabaret R&B/Soul singing & backup to major music acts until auditioning for LOVEBITES, her first "metal" experience. In the JPU commentary they answer Fami's question of height. Asami at 4'10'' 🐺 dreg👁
The UNIVERSE is made of only 3 things : ENERGY, VIBRATION, FREQUENCY. LOVEBITES' songs are like the UNIVERSE. They are ENERGY VIBRATING at different MELODY HARMONICS of FREQUENCIES.
Yes !! But always keep in mind: when Jimmy/Gringa ever musically survive THIS, will they be able to really enjoy any other music in future . . .?? OK, let's give it a try. We recommend for your reaction: th-cam.com/video/dcMVtrvpJpk/w-d-xo.html&start_radio=1
Guys, it's always a true pleasure to watch your reactions. You are definitely my favourite reactors! The piece where Miyako plays keyboards and guitar at the same time is "Burden of time" (there are live and studio live versions). I suggest you also a song where M & M plays 14 guitar solos in an insane duel (14!): "Scream for me" (also for this there is live version and studio live version). Thanks and good time!
Great reaction guys. I'm glad you did this masterpiece song. The dancing by Asami with snow falling was perfect with Asami's many years of ballet dance training. The only thing I wish was different is that the guitar solo was longer before Asami comes back with lyrics. I agree Jimmy, M&M are the best guitar duo I ever seen in 40+ years of listening to rock and metal.
Asami trained in ballet for many years before becoming a singer. They played this, complete with snow, at last Sundays concert. It was so awesome. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thank you, thank you for reacting to this video. It is one of my top 3 favourite Lovebites songs, although calling it a song just doesn’t quite do it justice. I normally hesitate using this word because it gets overused but this is a masterpiece. Miyako has been studying piano since she was 3 and if you watch the older version of Swan Song it starts with her playing a Chopin etude. Can I say mind blowing? Asami studied ballet and it’s so apparent in this video. The first time I heard this and Midori came in with the acoustic guitar I had chills. I like to draw attention to what Haruna is doing in the last section when Asami comes back in. She’s playing sextuplets on the double kick while alternating triplets and straight eights on the cymbals and on top of that placing the snare precisely on the offbeats. Mind blown! Love you guys! 🤟🙏❤️🩹 And you’re right, the lyrics are amazing!
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 ----- lyrics: asami music: asami & Mao arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) & Mao album: Electric Pentagram 01/29/2020 -----
Good reaction. It's one of my favorite songs and i was at the concert in Tokyo on Septembre 1, 2024. When they played Frozen serenade i had tears in my eyes.
"Burden of time" is a must-see to see Miyako's talent. I especially recommend the live studio version of this song. LOVEBITES has a stable reputation for being the best live. However, it is worth watching a few of the live studio songs they released around 2020-2021. This series, performed in a small studio without an audience, gives you the opportunity to see their outstanding instrumental playing in close-up. I especially recommend "Burden of time" and "Eagle Fly Free (HELLOWEEN cover)". --------- from Nippon *This is a text using Google Translate. I hope I have conveyed my intention correctly.
The Abyss studio concert, I have watched that so many times, I am blown away by it every time and I love the cover for Eagle Fly Free, and Miho bass tapping, awesome! 🤘
Magnificent ! All is perfect in this song : the main riff, Asami's voice, transition, Midori's solo, tempo change at the end and the great ending ! The Tokyo Garden Theater version last week is awesome too with a beautiful snow effect and phone lights during all the song !
Si os ha gustado esta vesion del 2021 esperar a ver la que hicieron el dia 1 de septiembre del 2024 en tokio no se si estara algun dia dispnible por youtube pero fue realmente impresionante unas de las mejores actuaciones que he visto y he visto muchas creeme paso de la cincuentena de edad
Yes, these women are beyond belief. Some people say that they’re angels who came to planet Earth in order to save metal. This song is a true masterpiece that could’ve only been composed by Lovebites. Y mi estimada gringa no pudo contener un poco de lágrimas, y es totalmente comprensible. Yes, that middle section was absolutely mind-blowing. The feminine touch of Lovebites into metal is just out of this world. My next suggestions are “Empty daydream”, “Chopin etude + Swan song” (2020 version), “Epilogue”, “Spellbound”, “Dancing with the devil” (all live)
Frozen serenade is just spectacular. Asami did all of this with Mao (lyrics, music, arrangement). M & M add some of their magic as always. Miyako hit the spot with her classical elements... Unique and awsome on a whole new level. These girls are making metal beautiful again...Gotta love them-best band in the universe right now (along with Nightwish-with Floor lead of course)
There is nothing more majestic than this amazing masterpiece in it's entirety, between Edge of the World and A Frozen Serenade you can never go wrong just like the classics of yesteryear. Judas Priest "Beyond the Realms of Death" Black Sabbath "Lonely is the Word" Led Zeppelin "Stairway to Heaven" UFO "Love to Love" MSG "Tales of Mystery"
"You think you're excited, you should feel these nipples!" It's a rare opportunity that arises to quote BASEketball. One of the Lovebites songs that feels like I stands with the absolute Rock / Metal classics from the last 55 or so years.
Thanks for the reaction. If you want to see Miyako play guitar (left hand) and keyboard (right hand) at the same time, check it out: LOVEBITES - 'Burden of Time' (Live in 'Tsutaya O-East', Tokyo, June 28, 2018). 👍'Burden of Time' - great song with beautiful backing vocals LOVEBITES - 'Burden of Time' (LP 'Awakening from Abyss', October 25, 2017) LOVEBITES - 'Burden of Time'(DVD / Blu-ray 'Battle in the East', December 5, 2018)
That was amazing to listen to and hear and see your reactions.. thankyou both ..a truly Epic song in so many ways .. and it touches right in there 🙏👌beautiful
„LOVEBITES EP II“ is fire 🔥 „Where’s identity“, „The bell in the jail“ and „Someone’s dream“ are killer tracks. I like them even more than the two with a MV. They are definitely worth to be checked out. I highly recommend reacting to the audio versions!
ラブバイツは作曲能力や卓越した演奏力など純粋な音楽の力で聴き手を感動させる"ホンモノ"です。素晴らしいあなた達のチャンネルでラブバイツをエース格に扱って下さり、ありがとうございます。 They played this in Tokyo 2021. This is excellent live performance. But、they can play high quality performance everytime 、like this . I watched this song on live 、Osaka 2021. Of course their performance was perfect、too. And they played a frozen serenade、 Sep 1st 2024 . It was beautiful beautiful live performance. They are getting better & better everytime、the latest is the BEST everytime.
A mini- symphony in 3- parts - the song writing here is next level awesome! But Asami’s vocal performance is beautiful, only matched by her ballet. Midori’s solo is one of her absolute best here too. They are stunningly good - all of them. Note, Miyako has her Infinte Trad ST ‘Strat’ for this song. No matter what guitar, she sounds amazing here 🤘🎸🐺
Miyako playing guitar and keyboard at the same time. Pick your poison. Both are excellent. "Burden of Time" LIVE >>>> th-cam.com/video/JnNtYpGZKKY/w-d-xo.html (really exciting) "Burden of Time" Studio Live >>>> th-cam.com/video/4OBf_Gn8efs/w-d-xo.html (really polished and refined)
Amazing song, i've heard it now for a 100 times and i stil tear up every time, the are out of this world good, great reaction as always guys always a pleasure to check you out, keep it up, maybe you could give "warning shot" from the battle in the east concert a listen, it rocks like crazy and you see Miyako give a big smile after her solo🤘🤘🤘
Great reaction to this masterpiece! This is my favorite LOVEBITES performance, and Midori's guitar work is above awesome. Every member of this band takes this great song and puts on a live show that shows why there can be no band that can top them right now. 🎸🎹🎤❄🔥♥🤘🐺
This is a beautiful song. Definitely one of their best ones. Also make sure to watch their latest concert. It's still available up until September 8th. So, so good.
That’s my favorite balade from Lovebites and among my favorites in all their songs ❤ But hell! I have so many favorite songs from their repertoire!!❤🇫🇷🤘🏻
Well another great Asami lyrics example, she is always positive and usually has an uplifting message within it. There is NOTHING this band can't perform especially LIVE and to do it this well, there are likely few bands that can match this group. Lovebites usually makes epic or masterpiece songs and here you have both all rapped into one great presentation. Here Midori goes "Miyako " on the acoustic guitar before she returns to her shred Queen status!!!! BTW, Miyako does the acoustic on the studio version. Try Miyako's piano masterpiece either Swan Song th-cam.com/video/dcMVtrvpJpk/w-d-xo.html or you can really go nuts with her piano cover of Helloween's Eagle Fly Free th-cam.com/video/-h3BLRs0Xr4/w-d-xo.html . She was trained as a classical pianist from age 3 and only took up the guitar to self teach at 18 to keep that Savant brain busy!!!!
Good reaction. My favorite song by my favorite band. Fell in love with this song immediately when i heard the studio version. But this performance makes the song even better. They played it live again in their latest show in the weekend. But this version is better for me. Thanks for this reaction. ❤️🐺❤️🐺
OK, how talented are the Lovebites members? Miyako is not only an excellent guitarist, but also a world-class pianist and composer. Asami can not only sing beautifully, but can also dance as a ballerina. Apart from being a guitarist, Midori also participates in women's bodybuilding competitions. Haruna, the drummer, has a hobby of making miniature items. Miho, former Lovebites bassist, likes to ride long distances on her motorbike. And Lovebites' new bassist Fami can also play several other musical instruments apart from bass guitar. Correct me if I'm wrong. And please add more if it's still not enough.
7:407:51 Here in Germany we say "It should not cause problems when you show emotions. It *is* only a problem, if you do not _have_ any emotions any more." 🥲 I appreciate _any honest_ reaction, be it goosebumps or tears. Or Jimmy's "This shit is already disgusting!" after the first moments of some LOVEBITES song. 😁
Hey hey my Amiga/Amigo, great to see you both. I knew you would be blown away by this track, one of my favorites. We have to talk about 1 major part of it, the infamous and shocking "Nipple" attack on us. Jimmy you crazy bastard you, we love the honesty. La Gringa also noticed something about Asami dancing that she guessed but got right, Asami is a classically trained Ballerina. That is why she is so graceful all the time on stage. She came to the States and was told she was too short to make it as a pro, so she returned to singing R/B prior to joining Lovebites. When you get to my request I will send you the link for a special video with Asami and Miyako playing at her birthday and a few other ones. Amazing job both of you as always, look forward to seeing the new channel and the journey ahead. Always remember, the Coach loves ya!!
Hey buddy we got a little bit of bad news we actually recorded the reaction to the Lizzy Hale song and uploaded it and it's blocked worldwide meaning TH-cam will not allow the content on there even for reactions. We did the original music video and it was completely blocked. Wanted to let you know because we were planning on releasing that one tomorrow. That being said if you have anything else you want us to check out we'll definitely give it a shot unfortunately this one isn't going to fly it's blocked worldwide on TH-cam which has happened a few times with a few artists but it's few and far between. Sorry Brother! 😟
@@TJandTheGringa No worries, I have something fast and loud for you. th-cam.com/video/WJs-W-GOqzE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=1zcIvx6OIMyLdulP I think you will love it, free extra special Lovebites track be sure to look up the version of rising with just miyako and Asami at her birthday party.
#TequilaJimmy #TheGringa This song is a Master piece. I ❤it Melody by MIYAKO Lyrics by ASAMI. ARGEMENT LOVEBITES. on the album. Miyako play piano & flamenco guitare. But on stage Midori play this part because Miyako is busy of the piano at this moment of the song. 🇯🇵🎹🎸 For this show They're is 6 persons of stage. One is hide on Miyako belly. 😂
Tears? Every time. How many true masterpieces are there in the history of rock? A dozen? Maybe twenty, max? I’m not talking about merely great songs. There may be a few hundred of those (out of millions of songs). A masterpiece is much more. It combines beautiful composition with brilliant execution. It tells a story, taking you through a range of emotions until it overwhelms you. For classical music fans, the iconic example is Beethoven’s 9th Symphony. The best example of something shorter and more comparable to a rock song, might be Ravel’s “Bolero”. Among actual rock songs, I would name “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; “The Great Gig in the Sky” by Clare Torrey and Pink Floyd; “Starless” by King Crimson; “Ghost Love Score” by Nightwish, and perhaps a few more. Many of the greatest rock groups never produced a masterpiece. Lovebites, in their first five years (before the hiatus) gave us several, and we probably have many more to look forward to. I think this rivals “Swan Song” as their greatest, and this performance has to go down as a high point in rock history.
This song transcends all music. Should be on everyone's playlist period. So many things to make note of: 1. This is a heavy metal band - you think Metallica, Maiden, Slayer, Priest pull this off - not on your life 2. Midori with her ESP still on her, plays the acoustic 3. Miyako, nearly 5mos pregnant with her strat(?) on her baby bump playing the emotional keys 4. Asami dancing like a elegant ballerina in front of a fairly large crowd - can't be easy 5. M&M harmonizing like they could do it in their sleep 6. Haruna / Miho holding down the rhythm 7. It's F LIVE!! We'll never see another LOVEBITES...in a league of their own. Just my opinion. Great reaction. 🤘
Burden of Time where Miyako plays Keyboard and Guitar at same time from Awake Again from the Abyss their 1st studio album in studio live with a bonus video of Lovebites performing Helloween Eagle Fly Free (Miyako also on her solo EP plays Eagle Fly Free - Helloween)
This song is a genuine masterpiece, and we all knew what was coming when you reacted to it. Fun fact - on the album, Miyako plays the acoustic solo, and Midori had to learn it for the live show so that Miyako could play the piano! Midori actually posted clips showing her learning it, which was cool. Now, if you want to see Miyako performing double duty during the solo section, here's the song you need: Lovebites - Burden of Time: th-cam.com/video/4OBf_Gn8efs/w-d-xo.html That's a"studio live" performance, or if you want to see them really raw in a 2018 live performance, there's this one: th-cam.com/video/JnNtYpGZKKY/w-d-xo.html.
I personally like the 2018 live one better. It has more "kick" and it is good flashback to early days :)
I'm so glad you finally got round to one of my all-time fav Lovebites songs ! This track is an epic masterpiece and listening to it is just pure eargasm. "I'd like to see anybody step up to this" - precisely ! BTW, this is the song where Miyako played the keyboards and guitar at the same time - "Burden of Time" : th-cam.com/video/4OBf_Gn8efs/w-d-xo.html .
Has there ever been heavy metal music that moves your heart and moves you to tears? I don't think we could have created such a masterpiece unless we were a heavy metal band whose members include a classical pianist and a classical ballet dancer.
Burden of time - live from the Abyss ... Miyako multitasking
Yes, please watch this one. The backing vocals are great too.
Battle in the East ... The camera shows more and better of Miyako playing keyboards & guitar during Burden of Time
She is also doing it on the Battle in the East blu-ray from 2018
And Miyako actiually plays the piano whilst wearing the guitar = talent beyond belief!
Absolutely. *Full body control.* Imagine _one_ wrong tickling of some wrong muscle. Incredible. They amaze us time and again, and let it look easy.
while being pregnant...
Yes, Asami is a ballerina she was training classical dance for many years. She is lately Miss Flamenco in her designed stylized "el vestido blanco con la rosa blanca en el pecho" in which she has been performing since June 2024. Yes, Lovebites is also a tearjerker and you are not the first person to experience it.
The ladies performed this at Tokyo Garden Theatre on Sept 1st and it was even more magical, with “real” snow falling across the stage. It was an amazing experience to be there and witness these incredible women performing their art so brilliantly!
OMG!
The Sept 1 version from Tokyo Garden was surreal, as special as I have ever seen.
They were overwhelmed themselves by the beauty of the scenery
❄️⭐️❄️⭐️❄️⭐️❄️⭐️❄️
.. and Miyako had a 4-5 month babybump on this concert. These ladies are awesome in every aspect!
13:05 "Haruna = heavy artilleriy. You just stand no chance." What a great praise.
Facts‼️‼️
Because the album Electric Pentagram came out in winter, Asami wanted a sad winter ballad. Miyako played the acoustic guitar on the studio recording, but Live, Midori has to play it, because Miyako is busy on the piano! 🤘
Great and fitting reaction. ❤
Before the start of Frozen Serenade on September 1st, Asami asked us (about 8,000) to turn on our cellphone-lights and mosr complied.
What followed can only be described as magical and many in attendence (me included) were a crying mess out of pure joy.
AGREED, I was there with many audiences (includes you). It was not easy for wolfpack to come thru heavy rain right after the typhoon, but it was rewarded by incredible performance of the band. unforgettable night. 最高でした。

Thank you so much for watching!
The greatest. Brings tears to my eyes. Seeing all 3 shows in the US next week. No band has inspired me to see them that many times and I’ll see them again any time I get the chance. Once in a lifetime band.
Finally: THIS is an indicator for real purpose of art ! To generate deep emotions ! Emotions are the highest expressions of everybody's soul. They are divine.

Try listen to SWAN SONG live at Tokyo 2020. I'm sure you guys will blown away from MIYAKO piano playing.LOVEBITES ROCK ❤
Important: Chopin intro has to be included . . .
Miyako is so incredibly talented, a virtuoso and maestro for real. That piano playing while wearing her guitar like a necklace! And choosing that Spanish acoustic against it was a fine choice. Nice to see Asami getting to use her skills as a ballerina too, which she used to do before letting us hear her wonderful voice. This band is beyond perfection. I bet you have a nice playlist of their songs in the car by now!
Tbh its mostly all I listen to lately while out and about.
ASAMI studied ballet dancing from 5 yo. to high school (16 yo.), then she was told that she couldn't be a professional dancer because of her height (4'8"), so she began to study singing and went to US to study R&B, Jazz and Gospel...
Thank you for this information about Asami. I am curious about the source as it has differences from what I have read & heard in commentary by the band (JPU VOD).
The differences: studied ballet for 16 years & went to USA after high school to study Jazz & Hip-hop dance where she discovered her singing ability & sang US National Anthem at a sports event to much praise, returning to Japan to pursue Cabaret R&B/Soul singing & backup to major music acts until auditioning for LOVEBITES, her first "metal" experience.
In the JPU commentary they answer Fami's question of height. Asami at 4'10''

The UNIVERSE is made of only 3 things : ENERGY, VIBRATION, FREQUENCY. LOVEBITES' songs are like the UNIVERSE. They are ENERGY VIBRATING at different MELODY HARMONICS of FREQUENCIES.
あなたたちのリアクションをいつも楽しみにしています。素敵なLOVEBITESのリアクションをありがとう！from Japan
Now you need to check out Swan Song with Chopin intro
Yes !! But always keep in mind: when Jimmy/Gringa ever musically survive THIS, will they be able to really enjoy any other music in future . . .??
OK, let's give it a try. We recommend for your reaction: th-cam.com/video/dcMVtrvpJpk/w-d-xo.html&start_radio=1
My favorite amongst favorites.... Lovebites forever !
You guys need to react to Dystopian Symphony, Miyako’s most complex song she composed ever, with Beethoven piano intro! 🎹🔥🤘
Do I see emotion and a desire to cry? Now get a box of tissues ready Lovebites - Epilogue Cry, cry... th-cam.com/video/JIAJYBuuKGM/w-d-xo.html

And you’re right, the lyrics are amazing!
Haruna crafts her drumming the way a master chef crafts their signature dish. 🥁♥
like even before the reaction cause i know whats about to happen
Indeed. You know beforehand. But Gringa's tears nevertheless surprised me. Beautiful.
Great reaction. I too cry when I hear this song.
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

A Lovebites Masterclass. The Tokyo performance of this song last weekend (watched on livestream) was truly epic.
Miyako also does a piano cover of eagle fly free by helloween and it's incredible you must see it.
Beautifully executed. 🐺🤘🏴
My favorite song by Miyako that starts with piano is EMPTY DREAM.
The acoustic starts with the ballad EPILOGUE and the rock ADDICTED
Good reaction. It's one of my favorite songs and i was at the concert in Tokyo on Septembre 1, 2024. When they played Frozen serenade i had tears in my eyes.
That is a memory to treasure for a lifetime, I wish I could have been there!
So lucky you got to see that!!
Burden of Time is the song you’re looking for where Miyako plays both instruments at the same time.
"Burden of time" is a must-see to see Miyako's talent. I especially recommend the live studio version of this song. LOVEBITES has a stable reputation for being the best live. However, it is worth watching a few of the live studio songs they released around 2020-2021. This series, performed in a small studio without an audience, gives you the opportunity to see their outstanding instrumental playing in close-up. I especially recommend "Burden of time" and "Eagle Fly Free (HELLOWEEN cover)".

Magnificent ! All is perfect in this song : the main riff, Asami's voice, transition, Midori's solo, tempo change at the end and the great ending ! The Tokyo Garden Theater version last week is awesome too with a beautiful snow effect and phone lights during all the song !
Si os ha gustado esta vesion del 2021 esperar a ver la que hicieron el dia 1 de septiembre del 2024 en tokio no se si estara algun dia dispnible por youtube pero fue realmente impresionante unas de las mejores actuaciones que he visto y he visto muchas creeme paso de la cincuentena de edad
すばらしいリアクションありがとう！👍
LOVEBITESはまだまだ良い曲が沢山あるので聞いてみてね。
今週末はアメリカツアーなのでライブも見てほしいなぁ～最高だよ🤘🐺🔥
🍻🤘🤘
Yes, these women are beyond belief. Some people say that they’re angels who came to planet Earth in order to save metal. This song is a true masterpiece that could’ve only been composed by Lovebites. Y mi estimada gringa no pudo contener un poco de lágrimas, y es totalmente comprensible. Yes, that middle section was absolutely mind-blowing. The feminine touch of Lovebites into metal is just out of this world. My next suggestions are “Empty daydream”, “Chopin etude + Swan song” (2020 version), “Epilogue”, “Spellbound”, “Dancing with the devil” (all live)
Gracias por el GRAN comentario! 🍻
Frozen serenade is just spectacular. Asami did all of this with Mao (lyrics, music, arrangement). M & M add some of their magic as always. Miyako hit the spot with her classical elements... Unique and awsome on a whole new level. These girls are making metal beautiful again...Gotta love them-best band in the universe right now (along with Nightwish-with Floor lead of course)
There is nothing more majestic than this amazing masterpiece in it's entirety, between Edge of the World and A Frozen Serenade you can never go wrong just like the classics of yesteryear. Judas Priest "Beyond the Realms of Death" Black Sabbath "Lonely is the Word" Led Zeppelin "Stairway to Heaven" UFO "Love to Love" MSG "Tales of Mystery"
Lovebites' music sometimes sounds like a machine gun, and other times it sounds like a caress. It just blows my mind 🤯
Ihre Musik sind reine Kunstwerke,diese Musik spricht direkt Herz und Seele an👍👍🤟🎸🎸🎸🥁🎤 wunderbar
"You think you're excited, you should feel these nipples!" It's a rare opportunity that arises to quote BASEketball.
One of the Lovebites songs that feels like I stands with the absolute Rock / Metal classics from the last 55 or so years.
😂🍻
The first time I watched this MV, I had tears in my eyes when it came to the piano and classical guitar parts.🤘❤️😊🤘
Thanks for the reaction. If you want to see Miyako play guitar (left hand) and keyboard (right hand) at the same time, check it out:
LOVEBITES - 'Burden of Time' (Live in 'Tsutaya O-East', Tokyo, June 28, 2018).
👍'Burden of Time' - great song with beautiful backing vocals
LOVEBITES - 'Burden of Time' (LP 'Awakening from Abyss', October 25, 2017)
LOVEBITES - 'Burden of Time'(DVD / Blu-ray 'Battle in the East', December 5, 2018)
Absolutely an amazing performance 😮😮😮❤❤
Such a deeply-emotive song and performance! Those who are not touched by this beauty either have a heart of stone or no heart at all.
That was amazing to listen to and hear and see your reactions.. thankyou both ..a truly Epic song in so many ways .. and it touches right in there 🙏👌beautiful
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Gracias por la reacción a esta Obra de Arte, Amazing Lovebites, Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱.
„LOVEBITES EP II“ is fire 🔥
„Where’s identity“, „The bell in the jail“ and „Someone’s dream“ are killer tracks. I like them even more than the two with a MV.
They are definitely worth to be checked out. I highly recommend reacting to the audio versions!
Great reaction by Tequila Jimmy The Gringa❤❤.This is song masterpiece in the legend .
❤️🔥❤️
ラブバイツは作曲能力や卓越した演奏力など純粋な音楽の力で聴き手を感動させる"ホンモノ"です。素晴らしいあなた達のチャンネルでラブバイツをエース格に扱って下さり、ありがとうございます。
They played this in Tokyo 2021.
This is excellent live performance.
But、they can play high quality performance everytime 、like this .
I watched this song on live 、Osaka 2021.
Of course their performance was perfect、too.
And they played a frozen serenade、 Sep 1st 2024 .
It was beautiful beautiful live performance.
They are getting better & better everytime、the latest is the BEST everytime.
Doves and Ravens dancing in Melancholy
the masteepiece..
thank you. 😊
A mini- symphony in 3- parts - the song writing here is next level awesome! But Asami’s vocal performance is beautiful, only matched by her ballet. Midori’s solo is one of her absolute best here too. They are stunningly good - all of them. Note, Miyako has her Infinte Trad ST ‘Strat’ for this song. No matter what guitar, she sounds amazing here 🤘🎸🐺
You got to check out The Bell in the Jail & Where's Identity off the new EP. Old school metal greatness!
Miyako playing guitar and keyboard at the same time. Pick your poison. Both are excellent.
"Burden of Time" LIVE >>>> th-cam.com/video/JnNtYpGZKKY/w-d-xo.html (really exciting)
"Burden of Time" Studio Live >>>> th-cam.com/video/4OBf_Gn8efs/w-d-xo.html (really polished and refined)
Stay Tuned ‼️🍻🤘
Amazing song, i've heard it now for a 100 times and i stil tear up every time, the are out of this world good, great reaction as always guys always a pleasure to check you out, keep it up, maybe you could give "warning shot" from the battle in the east concert a listen, it rocks like crazy and you see Miyako give a big smile after her solo🤘🤘🤘
Great reaction to this masterpiece! This is my favorite LOVEBITES performance, and Midori's guitar work is above awesome. Every member of this band takes this great song and puts on a live show that shows why there can be no band that can top them right now. 🎸🎹🎤❄🔥♥🤘🐺
This is a beautiful song. Definitely one of their best ones.
Also make sure to watch their latest concert. It's still available up until September 8th. So, so good.
That’s my favorite balade from Lovebites and among my favorites in all their songs ❤
But hell! I have so many favorite songs from their repertoire!!❤🇫🇷🤘🏻
Well another great Asami lyrics example, she is always positive and usually has an uplifting message within it. There is NOTHING this band can't perform especially LIVE and to do it this well, there are likely few bands that can match this group. Lovebites usually makes epic or masterpiece songs and here you have both all rapped into one great presentation. Here Midori goes "Miyako " on the acoustic guitar before she returns to her shred Queen status!!!! BTW, Miyako does the acoustic on the studio version. Try Miyako's piano masterpiece either Swan Song th-cam.com/video/dcMVtrvpJpk/w-d-xo.html or you can really go nuts with her piano cover of Helloween's Eagle Fly Free th-cam.com/video/-h3BLRs0Xr4/w-d-xo.html . She was trained as a classical pianist from age 3 and only took up the guitar to self teach at 18 to keep that Savant brain busy!!!!
Edge Of The World live in 2023 !!!
It is their FREEBIRD 🦅🇺🇸
🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🤘😎
one word
MASTERPIECE
Hellz Yes!
you guys are the best.
You Rock!! and of course.. LOVEBITES RULES!! ;)
Thank you for reacting and supporting Lovebites. Please reacting to “THUNDER VENGEANCE” “THE CRUSADE” and “EPILOGUE” next.
❤️LOVEBITES RULES❤️
You've been told, if Lovebites, be ready for the unexpected. Great reactions guys 🤘👍
TySm !! 🤘🤘
Masterpiece 🤘
Good reaction. My favorite song by my favorite band. Fell in love with this song immediately when i heard the studio version. But this performance makes the song even better. They played it live again in their latest show in the weekend. But this version is better for me. Thanks for this reaction. ❤️🐺❤️🐺
OK, how talented are the Lovebites members?
Miyako is not only an excellent guitarist, but also a world-class pianist and composer.
Asami can not only sing beautifully, but can also dance as a ballerina.
Apart from being a guitarist, Midori also participates in women's bodybuilding competitions.
Haruna, the drummer, has a hobby of making miniature items.
Miho, former Lovebites bassist, likes to ride long distances on her motorbike.
And Lovebites' new bassist Fami can also play several other musical instruments apart from bass guitar.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
And please add more if it's still not enough.
Asami is also able to play piano/keyboard as you can see in "We the United". . ..
@@kgspollux6998 yes I know that.
It seems like all Lovebites members can play the piano.
Although not as great as Miyako.
Fami’s first instrument was violin 🎻🤘
Asami is the only "Disney" queen I Iove😁
Masterpiece.
Lovebites . . .🤘🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🤘
🤟🏻🔥Lovebites🐺Masterclass🔥🤘🏻
Little big engine Haruna simply lays the foundation on which musical worlds are created.
Midori💚💚💚💚💚 Miho💜💜💜💜💜 lovebites💖💖
🎸💪💚
Haruna like a Energizer Bunny..
💯‼️
Love this Song.❤❤❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺
Esto es una melodia digna de una escultura,obra maestra donde se aprecie,gracias y larga vida
7:40 7:51 Here in Germany we say "It should not cause problems when you show emotions. It *is* only a problem, if you do not _have_ any emotions any more." 🥲 I appreciate _any honest_ reaction, be it goosebumps or tears. Or Jimmy's "This shit is already disgusting!" after the first moments of some LOVEBITES song. 😁
Yes, it’s no shame. I still have tears when listening to „epilogue“ almost every time.
@@stand.and.deliver.5 So do I.
You are always Spot On! lol. Thank you so much for tuning in!!
Fantastic performance once again!! This time a slower start, more groovy and then is pure magic!! 🤘🤘🔥Cheers!
🍻
Just bring any modern bands to competes this performance..no Debates...NONE
This song is a masterpiece for me ❤ love you Lovebites and you too guys ❤
Love you right back ! ❤️
Hey hey my Amiga/Amigo, great to see you both.
I knew you would be blown away by this track, one of my favorites. We have to talk about 1 major part of it, the infamous and shocking "Nipple" attack on us. Jimmy you crazy bastard you, we love the honesty.
La Gringa also noticed something about Asami dancing that she guessed but got right, Asami is a classically trained Ballerina. That is why she is so graceful all the time on stage.
She came to the States and was told she was too short to make it as a pro, so she returned to singing R/B prior to joining Lovebites.
When you get to my request I will send you the link for a special video with Asami and Miyako playing at her birthday and a few other ones.
Amazing job both of you as always, look forward to seeing the new channel and the journey ahead. Always remember, the Coach loves ya!!
Hey buddy we got a little bit of bad news we actually recorded the reaction to the Lizzy Hale song and uploaded it and it's blocked worldwide meaning TH-cam will not allow the content on there even for reactions. We did the original music video and it was completely blocked. Wanted to let you know because we were planning on releasing that one tomorrow. That being said if you have anything else you want us to check out we'll definitely give it a shot unfortunately this one isn't going to fly it's blocked worldwide on TH-cam which has happened a few times with a few artists but it's few and far between. Sorry Brother! 😟
@@TJandTheGringa
No worries, I have something fast and loud for you. th-cam.com/video/WJs-W-GOqzE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=1zcIvx6OIMyLdulP
I think you will love it, free extra special Lovebites track be sure to look up the version of rising with just miyako and Asami at her birthday party.
Wait until you react to Edge of the world, just released 2 weeks ago❤
Can't wait!!

This song is a Master piece. I ❤it
Melody by MIYAKO
Lyrics by ASAMI.
ARGEMENT LOVEBITES.
on the album. Miyako play piano & flamenco guitare. But on stage Midori play this part because Miyako is busy of the piano at this moment of the song. 🇯🇵🎹🎸
For this show They're is 6 persons of stage. One is hide on Miyako belly. 😂
I know that just adds to the inhuman Factor. She's playing piano and guitar and carrying a child. Definitely not from this world!! 👊🍻

Tears? Every time. How many true masterpieces are there in the history of rock? A dozen? Maybe twenty, max? I’m not talking about merely great songs. There may be a few hundred of those (out of millions of songs). A masterpiece is much more. It combines beautiful composition with brilliant execution. It tells a story, taking you through a range of emotions until it overwhelms you. For classical music fans, the iconic example is Beethoven’s 9th Symphony. The best example of something shorter and more comparable to a rock song, might be Ravel’s “Bolero”. Among actual rock songs, I would name “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; “The Great Gig in the Sky” by Clare Torrey and Pink Floyd; “Starless” by King Crimson; “Ghost Love Score” by Nightwish, and perhaps a few more. Many of the greatest rock groups never produced a masterpiece. Lovebites, in their first five years (before the hiatus) gave us several, and we probably have many more to look forward to. I think this rivals “Swan Song” as their greatest, and this performance has to go down as a high point in rock history.
Well Stated!! 💯‼️
This song transcends all music. Should be on everyone's playlist period. So many things to make note of:
1. This is a heavy metal band - you think Metallica, Maiden, Slayer, Priest pull this off - not on your life
2. Midori with her ESP still on her, plays the acoustic
3. Miyako, nearly 5mos pregnant with her strat(?) on her baby bump playing the emotional keys
4. Asami dancing like a elegant ballerina in front of a fairly large crowd - can't be easy
5. M&M harmonizing like they could do it in their sleep
6. Haruna / Miho holding down the rhythm
7. It's F LIVE!!
We'll never see another LOVEBITES...in a league of their own. Just my opinion. Great reaction. 🤘
A masterpiece.
I don't think I've heard this one. Thank you, guys! It was a bit of a curveball. The nylon guitar from Midori was gorgeous! They are incredible.
Man they blew us away with this one !!
Next try , Lovebites song "Lost in The garden th-cam.com/video/HfPGDVx3d14/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Kgrvlg589mW6Xlq7 (Live)
You are the best reactors on TH-cam. Thanks
Wow ... That's an amazing compliment 😲 ..Thank you so much !! We are humbled 😊
