Miyako is first of all a great musician, she writes, composes and arranges, she perfectly plays piano and keyboards, guitar, bass and even a bit of drum's, in this concert she was 4 months pregnant, Miyako is incredible, great song and great reaction!🤘🏼🎸🥁🎤🐺💖🇯🇵🇮🇹
@@gatograto True, many people see Miyako as a statue but she is perhaps the most important member of the band, I love all the girls but she is my favourite, Lovebites the Best Female band for Me🤘🏼😉
@@andretogol I have no doubt the new bassist will be the equal of Miho as a musician. The real loss is Miho's leadership, songwriting and stage presence. I trust Miyako to take up the songwriting slack. We will have to wait and see about stage presence. Impossible to replace Miho's leadership.
Thank you, that was a great reaction to this track, nice to watch your enjoyment of it. 🤗 You picked up on some of the things that endeared me to this performance, from Haruna's smiling "I've got this" countenance, to the fabulous synched solo with guitar and keytar. The ladies obviously had a lot of fun playing this song. Note Asami pointing and laughing at Miyako (in sympathy?) as she resumes the vocal phrase. With Miho rocking out as well , it's the most relaxed I've ever seen them. And Miyako was pregnant, her stamina throughout this 2 hour concert is incredible. I suggest buying the Heavy Metal Never Dies blu ray if you don't have it, one of the best live concert productions you'll ever see.
This is a hidden gem that you can only find on the unreleased EP Golden Destination, and it is a very rare CD it may not be available any longer. The other hidden gem on the EP is Puppet on a String which is also a phenomenal song, I too agree with the sound mixing on this live show on the Audio track it is completely different and you can hear Midori very well. The other two songs on the EP is Golden Destination and Thunder Vengeance with an Orchestra sound behind it.
Well you covered everything about this performance that resonate with me too. Except for one thing. That massive smile of Midori's at the end as she triumphantly punches the air. She was so happy with what just went down. All the 'White Wolves' had a blast with this one. As to your comments about Haruna. In every Lovebites video I re-watch (many times) I concentrate on Haruna in the background in every shot, past the rest of the band members. We see so many fun things with her, through the whole performance. Smiles, head shakes, stick flicks, looks of satisfaction, relief, and of course, at times, absolute concentration. A true little Princess.
LOVEBITES - Spellbound lyrics: Once upon a time, there was a girl with beautiful hair It was a breathtaking beauty, yes even for God Unforgiving love will make you blind to see calamity Approaching and already at your feet Until you're put under a curse No one comes closer No one is looking anymore Even plants, even birds, butterflies, trees and flowers No longer attractive Nobody know what was lost Even stars, even clouds, the sky and the sun and the moonlight People don't realize how badly their sins can hurt someone Should they be forgiven ? Or have they sinned for eternity ? Which one has hers ? One day her beautiful hair turned into demons Feared by everyone, she's left alone and avoided Unforgiving sins will bring you closer to your judgement day Leaving you with nothing left to say Until you are out of time No one comes closer No one is looking anymore Even plants, even birds, butterflies, trees and flowers No longer attractive Nobody know what was lost Even stars, even clouds, the sky and the sun and the moonlight People don't realize how badly their sins can hurt someone Should they be forgiven ? Or have they sinned for eternity ? Which one has hers ? No one comes closer No one is looking anymore Even plants, even birds, butterflies, trees and flowers No longer attractive Nobody know what was lost Even stars, even clouds, the sky and the sun and the moonlight No one comes closer No one is looking anymore Even plants, even birds, butterflies, trees and flowers No longer attractive Nobody know what was lost Even stars, even clouds, the sky and the sun and the moonlight In her last moment the blood from her nect came alive Asking for love and forgiveness Why have you come, Holy Pegasus ? God, is she free now ? ----- lyrics: asami music: Mao arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami)
Another great reaction from you and next maybe A Frozen Serenade would be nice because there is acoustic guitar and piano in the middle of the song and Asami doing a little bit of ballet dancing.
Miho's departure hit me hard too. But that's over a year ago now and the remaining 4 have got under my skin in such a way that I'll be absolutely devastated if anyone else was to leave. But lets not dwell on that. Another aced reaction to a wonderfully fun performance. Worth checking out Dancing With The Devil 2020 (with subs) for another style from LOVEBITES th-cam.com/video/mJGgLFTPME8/w-d-xo.html 🤘🤘🤘🤘🐺🐺
Yeah lets not dwell on anyone else leaving ...... can't get over Mihos departure . Anyone else at this juncture would be devastating. Let's be positive and believe in them....I am sure soon they will be out with a bang. Looking forward to it 🐺🤘
The left hand thing she was doing on the keytar is a pitch bend or pitch wheel, it allows her to pitch up or down each note she plays like how in a guitar you would bend the strings or do vibratos.
Hammer of Wrath next, with intro of course. It will blow your mind dude. You still have a lot to check from Lovebites. These girls are something special for sure. ROCK ON!

One more time, that was a good reaction :) "Spellbound" always makes me smile. This is so fun song! There is no Lovebites' song that you will not like :) For me their live performances sound better than music videos. But their music videos are cool too. You should try them. My favorite is "When Destinies Align". Also, you can check out "Glory To The World". Thank you for your video. I am waiting for new reaction to Lovebites. "When Destinies Align" - th-cam.com/video/hLFelI93VkM/w-d-xo.html "Glory To The World" - th-cam.com/video/-wJtD2XEXH4/w-d-xo.html
Regardless of anyone's opinion of the mix, it's great to hear Miho sama's runs throughout the entire song. DDS will mend my broken heart. I can't contain myself.
This is one of my faves from them actually. It’s just different and that guitar/synth combo at the end just always hits. Awesome to go through another journey with a person to my fave bands, and gives me an excuse to listen again 😂
You never know what you're going to get with Lovebites, you just know its always fantastic stuff! The whole bit with Miyako refusing the keytar is so fun, love to see it!! I agree the mix, i wish Midori's guitar was more present. Got a couple links from Matt Heafy's channel for you about those covers - Above the Black Sea th-cam.com/video/gqYOYzlWvxE/w-d-xo.html and Epilogue th-cam.com/video/zPabbnAiVj4/w-d-xo.html Maybe you could do it with the original by Lovebites and Matt's cover!! just an idea!! 🤘🐺🤘
Yes, I just love this tune. These women are extraordinary musicians. Some people say that they’re angels that came to planet earth in order to save metal. Somebody suggested “Dancing with the devil” live, and I agree.
Miyako has her own in home studio where she has her own drum kit, bass guitars, multiple electric guitars, keyboards, piano, and keytar. I suspect she ply’s many other instruments as well.
For yet another side of the Lovebites... You should check "The Frozen Serenade", and will you see Asami demonstrate some ballet skills. Link here for 2021 live (embedded lyrics): th-cam.com/video/22ZGPMiUie0/w-d-xo.html
Nah as someone who absolutely loves synthesizers the synth is too loud in this mix. It should be like 30% quieter. It's such a fat bright sound, it's competing with both Midori and Asami's vocals. It's not so dominant in the studio track. Regardless this song is so much fun, it's hard for me to complain about and it's not their fault anyways, it's whoever mixed it.
Miyako is in my mind the "Evil Genius" per say. Very Talented. The other band member's are talented also but Miyako. Difficult to grasp how so many talented Musician's ended up finding each other and forming such a great Band.
I've seen Miyako play some nice slap bass and goof around with the drums doing a boom chick boom boom chick rhythm along with the hi hat, then a slow tom roll. Bth are on her Instagram and on my channel. The drums thing at the end of the Haruna clip compilation and the bass is in one of the badly-edited Miyako compilations (don't subscribe to me). She knows what she's doing on the bass, but I don't think Haruna has anything to worry about.
Regarding the keytar, that is a Roland AX-Edge. The black pad is a modulation bar, and Miyako can program it to modulate in various ways. It's pressure sensitive, too. I don't have any experience with one of these, but if I wanted a synthy sound, I'd want one of these units.
And on top of playing the keytar standing up, she’s resting it on Miyako Jr. I watched her livestream on Instagram today (she said hi and waved in response to a hi from me ….I’m like a kid! I don’t care!) and of course several people had to keep asking her about the bassist. She paused a second, smiled, searched for the English word (because she was speaking 90% Japanese) and said “please wait”, still smiling. As if she was ever going to tell them on a livestream. Tantalisingly close, but it’s coming. And I’m dreading the comparisons from those who can’t get their heads around Miho leaving, despite it being 13 months ago and her choice..
I love this fun song, especially the moment, when midori starts tapping. goosebumps everytime. I appreciate, that you are reacting to this one. great enjoyable reaction. I suggest the songs "a frozen serenade" live tokyo 2021 and "dancing with the devil" live tokyo 2020, if you want to discover new beautiful different sides of them. "dancing ..." features a pretty sassy asami, close captions are recommended.
Miho is the most interesting person out of all Japanese heavy metal girls/women. Miho is an uncompromising metalhead, she drinks regularly and sometimes goes booze with friends. She is an enfant terrible. She was our best piece, we love her and we hope she might return to LOVEBITES in a few years.🤘🐺🤘
One of my least favorites from them but I still dig it. Sounds like Dream Evil Era Dio as Well as VH. But it still has that insane speed underneath. This song is one of the few that Midori's parts are a bit low in the mix. I took plenty of heat for pointing this out as well. Like our Reactor I am a Guitarist first so I prefer the guitar in front even when playing along with keytar.
You're right about the strong 80s vibe in this song, but aside from that, it reminds me of Cyntia, who were the biggest and best band of the "girls metal boom" for a few years in the early 2010s, although for some reason they rarely ever get mentioned. Cyntia were the first of those bands to get signed to a major label, which some people think was the beginning of their downfall, but that's another story...but they charted several times, as high as number 9 on the Japanese Oricon chart (only Aldious charted higher at 7) and their first three albums are absolute classics. They're one of the big 4 along with Destrose, Aldious, and Mary's Blood, who newer fans of Lovebites, Band-Maid, Nemophila etc. have all discovered while remaining largely oblivious to Cyntia, which is weird...anyway, I keep straying from my point, which is that Ayano occasionally whipped out her keytar and did duel leads with Yui the guitarist, and this song always reminds me of them, especially songs like Night Flight for example (th-cam.com/video/318sXtmbSj4/w-d-xo.html). I'm enjoying your channel, I like your demeanor and insights. I don't care for a lot of "reactors" who seem phony and seem more about themselves than the band they're "reacting" to. Some are loudmouths, some are clearly over- reacting and just come across as fake, but I don't know, maybe it's just me.
This song kind of reminded me of Petra; there's some dating material for you. Towards the end, they used a keytar a lot. And Haruna was probably enjoying the break; this song is slower than what she usually does. And if you look close at Miyako, especially when her stomach is exposed, you will see a baby bump. She was 4 and a half months pregnant. Eddie was good, but he never tried that one.... The new bassist was supposed to be announced in August, but Asami said they need a little more time. I guess they found several good bassists and are having trouble choosing just one
I've nerver talked a lot about Miho's leaving the band since last summer 2021, but IMO (and only mine) there's a problem with Miyako and Asami trying to take full control of the band. Those two are very very close, especially now they both are mothers, and I think issues began long ago, which lead to Miho leaving. I wouldn't have been suprised Haruna and Midori quitting too, to join Miho in a new project. I guess we'll get the answer when we hear the direction the new "heaviness" of the songs without Miho's natural "heavy metal feeling" touch.
I would say that 95% of Lovebites songs are outstanding. Sadly this is one of the 5% that I don't care for. To me this sounds like music from a 80:s tv-series. 😥
I enjoy this song but it would be somewhere at the bottom of my Lovebites song ranking. This is one of the handful of Mao songs. They probably play it in concert because it gives them a break from the fast-pace of most of their other songs, especially for Haruna. In this performance it was fun to see Miyako get out of her comfort zone a bit with the acting
Miyako is first of all a great musician, she writes, composes and arranges, she perfectly plays piano and keyboards, guitar, bass and even a bit of drum's, in this concert she was 4 months pregnant, Miyako is incredible, great song and great reaction!🤘🏼🎸🥁🎤🐺💖🇯🇵🇮🇹
She also sings. She harmonizes with Asami pretty much but suppressed in the mixing and hardly audible.
@@gatograto True, many people see Miyako as a statue but she is perhaps the most important member of the band, I love all the girls but she is my favourite, Lovebites the Best Female band for Me🤘🏼😉
@@andretogol With Miho gone, there is no doubt that she is the most important member of the band
@@danw6048 Miho's loss was hard, let's hope the new bass player is top
@@andretogol I have no doubt the new bassist will be the equal of Miho as a musician. The real loss is Miho's leadership, songwriting and stage presence. I trust Miyako to take up the songwriting slack. We will have to wait and see about stage presence. Impossible to replace Miho's leadership.
…..And she also has a fantastic voice and could even sing !
Thank you, that was a great reaction to this track, nice to watch your enjoyment of it. 🤗

Haruna and Nemophila's drummer, Tamu, are always constantly all smiles... It's a joy to watch them.
Akane from BAND-MAID, too
Mari from Mary's Blood too. In fact it seems to be the default for Japanese female drummers.
I've never seen this clip before. Thanks for reacting to it and thanks to whoever let you know it exists so I could enjoy it too.
I told you. Lovebites can do it all. ( The beginning of this song reminds me of: Europe "The Final Countdown". )
With a smidgen of. VH
a Lovebites show takes you to a journey into the all the classic metal styles, is very nostalgic and at same time refreshing.
1:21 and that girl is...👸MIDORI 💚💪🎸🔥 WOLFPACK 🤘🐺🤘
How could MIYAKO not be jak't. She's on stage with her 3 LOVES simultaneously.. KEYS-GUITAR- and most precious being with child

LOVEBITES - Spellbound lyrics:
Once upon a time, there was a girl with beautiful hair
It was a breathtaking beauty, yes even for God
Unforgiving love will make you blind to see calamity
Approaching and already at your feet
Until you're put under a curse
No one comes closer
No one is looking anymore
Even plants, even birds, butterflies, trees and flowers
No longer attractive
Nobody know what was lost
Even stars, even clouds, the sky and the sun and the moonlight
People don't realize how badly their sins can hurt someone
Should they be forgiven ?
Or have they sinned for eternity ?
Which one has hers ?
One day her beautiful hair turned into demons
Feared by everyone, she's left alone and avoided
Unforgiving sins will bring you closer to your judgement day
Leaving you with nothing left to say
Until you are out of time
No one comes closer
No one is looking anymore
Even plants, even birds, butterflies, trees and flowers
No longer attractive
Nobody know what was lost
Even stars, even clouds, the sky and the sun and the moonlight
People don't realize how badly their sins can hurt someone
Should they be forgiven ?
Or have they sinned for eternity ?
Which one has hers ?
No one comes closer
No one is looking anymore
Even plants, even birds, butterflies, trees and flowers
No longer attractive
Nobody know what was lost
Even stars, even clouds, the sky and the sun and the moonlight
No one comes closer
No one is looking anymore
Even plants, even birds, butterflies, trees and flowers
No longer attractive
Nobody know what was lost
Even stars, even clouds, the sky and the sun and the moonlight
In her last moment the blood from her nect came alive
Asking for love and forgiveness
Why have you come, Holy Pegasus ?
God, is she free now ?

Amazing, talents and deferent capabilities with love bite band .. I fall in love with these princess 🎸🎤💥💓
Haruna breaths, sleeps, eats ramen, but drumming is the time she may be most relaxing.
Agreed. If the syth sound is a bit lower it would be perfect. Nevertheless, this is one of my favorite
Ya i agreed the syth sound over power Midori guitar sound.
Did you see them on Rock Fujiyama? Miya is more extroverted there. It's her stage persona that's "cold"
Miyako has her own in home studio where she has her own drum kit, bass guitars, multiple electric guitars, keyboards, piano, and keytar. I suspect she ply’s many other instruments as well.
MASTERCLASS🤘🏻🔥🐺
Piano, guitar, bass, drums, cowbell, comb-and-paper, kazoo, didgeridoo... 🤣
And Triangle.

I've nerver talked a lot about Miho's leaving the band since last summer 2021, but IMO (and only mine) there's a problem with Miyako and Asami trying to take full control of the band. Those two are very very close, especially now they both are mothers, and I think issues began long ago, which lead to Miho leaving. I wouldn't have been suprised Haruna and Midori quitting too, to join Miho in a new project. I guess we'll get the answer when we hear the direction the new "heaviness" of the songs without Miho's natural "heavy metal feeling" touch.
It's not only your opinion, Boris 👍
I would say that 95% of Lovebites songs are outstanding. Sadly this is one of the 5% that I don't care for. To me this sounds like music from a 80:s tv-series. 😥
I enjoy this song but it would be somewhere at the bottom of my Lovebites song ranking. This is one of the handful of Mao songs. They probably play it in concert because it gives them a break from the fast-pace of most of their other songs, especially for Haruna. In this performance it was fun to see Miyako get out of her comfort zone a bit with the acting
Watch her doing their early stuff. Before they got these made up personas.
