Why they did that "concert" in the studio was because it was to commemorate the third anniversary of their debut album. So they played the entire album in its entirety. They were already in the studio recording their EP, "Glory Glory to the World". They just wanted to release a "live" show because they missed playing live.
Eagle Fly Free was a bonus song exclusive to the DVD.
and main reason is it was during COVID madness. no live or any type of concert was allowed in Japan.
The good old 'Helloween' still exist. at this concert former members were present.
Here is the link to the original 'Eagle fly free' live in Wacken, Germany 2018:
th-cam.com/video/gAblv4C7P0w/w-d-xo.html
=>The ladies of lovebites were allowed to watch this performance on a balcony on the side of the stage.
I think a better song from that was How Many Tears. A real old song but a classic with all 3 singers doing parts of it. th-cam.com/video/XJwuqL0IJqw/w-d-xo.html
About the live/not live thing: It depends a bit on what you mean by "live" I guess. Yes it is played live. Yes, what you hear is what you see them playing (you can hear the slight imprecisions sometimes which match what you see their fingers do). No, the sound you hear is probably not the exact sound that was in the room when they played. That is because of course everything was micced and probably got some post-processing. Then again: even if a band uploads a clip from a live show out on stage with crowd and all, that will also get some post processing beforehand. sometimes even additional tracks recorded in the studio afterwards or whatever. except for that though, what you hear is still what was played live.
because if you say that isn't live, then nothing you can see on video is, except maybe if it's recorded by someone with a cellphone in the audience and uploaded without touching the files in any way.
Hey David. I'm sure you will get similar responses towards this video. During the pandemic, their 1st album "Awakening from Abyss" turned 3 years old since its release. Because they couldn't play live, the band decided to do this "live" in the studio (which was a live streaming). The band played the entire 1st album live in the studio. Hence, when they release it on DVD, they called "Awake Again: Live at Abyss". They added a bonus song on the video which is the Helloween cover you reacted too. Check out the original song, then listen to Lovebites version again and see which one you like. Cheers!
It was live in the fact that they recorded it "live" with people watching all in one take. A studio live recording.
This is from their livestream show , So this should be live👍
I downloaded the livestream, which is lucky for me because I missed out on buying the dvd version, which included this extra bonus track that they didn't play during the stream itself. I don't know that you're wrong about it not being live, but it does sound pretty much like the actual live stream sounded (which was live), so I kind of think you're wrong. This is the studio, the mics are fixtures, they might not have all been live, they may have just left them there because that's where they belong, know what I mean?
As for the song, it's pretty close to the original. Helloween's a band favourite. Miho has stated that they're the one band all the members are a fan of, and Haruna's cited them as her personal favourite. Helloween are probably Lovebites' biggest influence along with Iron Maiden, and pretty much the originators of the type of Power Metal Lovebites play. I wasn't really a big fan of them either, to be honest. I think they were a lot bigger in Europe than they were here (I'm Canadian) and in the U.S, except in real hardcore metal circles. I don't like Power Metal as a rule, so it's kind of weird that I like Lovebites as much as I do, but life is kind of weird.
I agree. I am not usually a big power / thrash metal guy but Lovebites are so good they are my favorite band for now.
Dave this was a livestream event durig COVID celebrating the 3rd anniversary of their debut album, there was a DVD released after. Pretty sure it was live except for the backing tracks. Either way I love this band. Peace.
"LIVE" Stream events are 99% not live they are recorded some hours earlier..... Nightwish did this Epica did this WT, Avatar did this and so one never 100% Live, they all record hours before.
First reasons is to prevent Lag and Stream Problems.
it is nice compliment to the band, that you think their own songs are actually better... and I have to agree :)
Haruna gets a mini drum solo in this, first time I've seen that ! Go girl. 🤘🐺🤘
Phenomenal Cover...out does the original, and I'm a Helloween nut. Best metal band to emerge in 30 years, all GLORY to LOVEBITES and all my brothers and sisters in The Wolf Pack everywhere. We are all for one and one for all forever more,...............
Michael Kiske is one of the most iconic metal singers of all time. No one can sing like him. So, any cover of a song sang by him it's gonna sound bad for me. I thought you were a metalhead. How can you not know about Helloween. Maybe you just don't know their work from "back in the day". David, seriously, you would love the 2 classic Helloween albuns from the 80's: "The Keeper of the Seven Keys - Part 1" and "The Keeper of the Seven Keys - Part 2" (this one includes this song). Such amazing solos and melodies! And the fantastic voice of Michael Kiske
I'm so glad you have made a great improvement on memorizing names. You did the perfect job this time. Congratulations !!
Im always the original guy, but this is an excellent cover.
When listening to the original recording, you always have to keep 2 things in mind:
1) The record is 33 years old
2) The guys were still pretty young and growing/finding process.
Lovebites is a pretty new band, but as far as I know, the members all are experienced and mature musicians. No matter which version you think it`s petter, in any case it`s refreshing to hear it with modern recording quality performed by musicians who dont have to cut edges!
Im not a huge Helloween fan, especially not of the famous "Kiske Helloween". For me, the vocals are...difficult. I learned to live with them!
But as a bass player, you should really look for more Helloween. I think they are one of the first and one of the best bands in utilizing the bass in its full potential. It plays a prominent role in every song and is far beyong the usual "support role".
Great score! I like this one better than the original, they did a tremendous job! 🤘🙂🐺 Thank you David!
What the hell it is? Let the show begin!! Wolfpack, here we are!🤘
Glad you back again to Lovebites and finally make reaction to this song..
Honestly, I'm never listening to this song before too, lol.
First time I listening is from Lovebites, and I love it!!
For me this is the best cover of this song. Because they make this song like they own song.
After listening this song, I also check out the original song from helloween. That's the pretty great song!
But for me.. I'm back again to Lovebites to listening this song. Because for me, Lovebites cover is more sound great from original. Once again, this is just for me.
Not say the original is bad, but it just about feel and taste.
And by the way, I also like helloween.
About this is recorded or live sound? I don't know sure..
But they playing this for live studio version.
However 8,6 is still great. I'm personal not problem with that's score.
So thank you very much!
You has been make a lot reaction from video Lovebites concert ..
Now the time you check out they Music Video..
The song is "Winds of Transylvania"
Or you can choose another they new MV called "Glory to the world"
Once again big thanks for you.
Stay safe and keep on lovebitten!🤘
And by the way, i'm not use translator to speak English. So i hope you still understand what I mean and what I'm saying.
@@hiufernando7340 Helloween was one of my bands as a teenager, and this was one of my favorite songs. To me, it's Asami's vocals that make this version better, Michael Kiske was sometimes too high pitched. Stay safe bro. 🤘🐺🤘
@@brandydynamite5877 me too. I like helloween when I still teenagers. And in my country Indonesia, helloween is famous power metal band. They view time come to Indonesia and make a big concert.
I hope someday Lovebites also can come to my country and make a lot concert in here.
Indonesia have big potential viewers or fans.
Stay safe too my bro
@@hiufernando7340 👍😁👍
In my opinion, Andri Deris vocal sounds better than Michael Kiske(my taste)
Here Andri Deris Version >> th-cam.com/video/wfSwrtvu-hE/w-d-xo.html
As far as I know, almost all music concerts that are released for commercial purposes go through post-production in order to offer a better listening experience. This live studio concert was released as a DVD with a limited edition. I remember two cases when a minor mistake was done and they were not fixed in post-production: one was by Midori, at the end of the last solo of “Epilogue” she unintentionally struck other string (Daughters of the dawn), and in the other case Miyako’s guitar had a string out of tune in the song “Break the wall” (Battle from the east)
Once more, thanks for reacting to amazing Lovebites.
Ah its definitely LIVE, you can hear it by the tiny defects in guitar solos and the Mihos bass solo. Also Assamis intonation was not perfect as would be in studio recording.
The mighty Haruna nailed it.. sweet mother of God this girl is a cruel beast.
BTW the song is not easy to perform. Ive heard Helloween play it live and what a mess.. The girls are far more accurate than the men.
From What i heard. Halloween Sounded the same. Specially The vocals
Great song and one that Miho and Haruna actually get some SHINE TIME, how about that, the back bone of the band gets a little spotlight. Song is close to the original EXCEPT it is better!!! I would love to have the ladies take a sample of the great hits from Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Slayer, Metallica, Purple even Sabbath and do an album of covers, that would be stunning. Helloween was a band I liked at the time but there is no comparison with this group of musicians. Honestly, everything they do is flawless BUT I still dig this band LIVE, they are stunning for 90+ minutes just blasting. I bet they leave you with no voice for hours, ringing ears for days and likely a memory that will last a lifetime. I so want to see them LIVE as much as I wanted to see Hendrix when I got back from Nam and was lucky enough to see him again. I only hope we can all return to NORMAL sooner so we can really start to appreciate what LIVE concert are and just how great they are for the band and the crowds. Not sure who misses LIVE show more the musicians or their fans!!!!
I'm just going to add a clarification as to what is going on with the keyboards in this song (and all of Lovebites live peformances). The reason you hear keyboards when noone is playing the keyboard that is standing there is because they always use a backing track for the "symphonic" keyboard sounds in their live peformances. This is because Miyako isn't the only keyboard player in the band. She plays piano (or piano on a keyboard). The "symphonic" keyboard sounds you hear in their songs are played by a guy called Mao (from the band Light Bringer). He is a studio only member of the band, and doesn't play with them live, so they use backing tracks for his parts.
I disagree with your assessment regarding the authenticity of this as a live performance. I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt because the monitoring of their microphones can easily be turned off so no bleed over occurs. Asami is using a Shure vocal mic so it will have to be held close as it is not prone to picking up much bleed over from the amplifier cabs. Also, not a single instance of delay in their performance of solos. Just my opine, but I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt.
I agree with The Saturday Morning Cowboys. This is probably genuine live performance. The reason is that the other tracks performed in the relevant live streaming sounded as clear as this eagle fly free track sounds. I think that such other tracks were genuine live performance (David should watch for example Burden of Time performed in the same streaming) and heard by many people at the very moment it was performed and broadcast .
I think their cover is better than the original! Love these ladies more than life itself...I guess. This song lets Miho shine! Love her bass line in this song. Now, I need some Preperation H for my hurt butt! lol.. just kidding, I have no idea how it was done so trust you are correct. It still does not take any enjoyment of the video away. THank you for reacting to this video.
Definitely not vocal Wise. Kishe is one of a kind as a singer. More Powerful, with great technique ofc. Instremental wise, it's amazing, lovebites is a very Skilled band for sure
You are right . And they themselves said so from the beginning. That is not a secret at all .
8.6 is a high score even though its just a cover.. Now I wonder what score you'll give to the original if you will ever gonna do reaction to Helloween.
Dave you should react EP glory glory to the world by LOVEBITES, 👌
Wow....the fathers of Power Metal are not in your radar.......just...WOW!! You need to hear them.... it's imperative for a rocker or Metal guy...
@@salsaucedo nop
I think that Helloween was not related with power metal. It was speed metal. In 80-s the term power metal was more associated with Manowar or Metal Church. And nowadays a lot of bands play speed metal, but for some reason it is called power metal, which I find inaccurate.
@@vinograd74 This is like who plays metal first...and infinite loop of opinions......the only important here is that he needs to listen Helloween right away....Cheers
they stayed true to form of the Original although many have stated they like Lovebites version better than the Original.
Pretty much sound like the original, just a few tweaks here and there.. even the bass n drums solo. Off coz the production is better. Original recorded in 1986, almost 35 years ago..
Great reaction as usual! I hope David should listen to the original version by Halloween. The ladies of Lovebites respect the band and must have got some inspiration when they make their original songs.
.Actually you should do a Helloween review now, I would be interested now. Whether the original gets more than 8.6..
They kept it pretty close to the original, with a few little additional touches. Honestly, they're cleaner and more technical than the original, and that's high praise because Helloween were dedicated to technical power metal. I never liked their vocalist so I give this round handily to Lovebites on the strength of Asami's vocals.
lol, studio recording, her voice is flat and dead
Saying she is a better vocalist than Michael Kiske is a little ignorant.
@@bullfiddeshe is definitely not. Still a great cover
Great review - never really thought about it before but your comments on the live vs pre-recorded made sense. Thought it was a very fair score, also you acknowledged something I've occasionally wondered - if increased familiarity with the ladies of Lovebites (and of J rock in general) makes the mind blowing scores more difficult to achieve (although the other day Rush scored a 9 so it's not impossible). It only makes sense, the more you expect greatness going in the less shocking it is when achieved.
I got a laugh the first time you started gushing about Miho thinking just wait until he gets to the solo - no comment on her outfit though, wearing a business suit over a Metallica T-shirt :)
Others have commented on the back story of the performance celebrating the anniversary of their debut album with a live stream, but I think this was also the official debut of Miyako's red flying V (although she had uploaded videos with it on her own channel already) - it's her own custom model from Dean and you can actually order one but I think only in Japan. *
Also, Nemophila has a cover of "I Want Out" up on their channel that they posted last Halloween.
* sorry if you have a half dozen copies of this comment sitting in a review folder, took me a while to figure out the link to Miyako's guitar on the Dean Japan site was why it kept disappearing
Enjoyed the reaction. I agree. Fine for the stage, but the last thing you'd do for vocals in the studio is have your singer holding an SM58....unless it's a scratch track.
Miho Miho Miho!
You should listen to the original version: less keyboards, harmonising vocals, choir at the end and a vocalist that defined power metal vocals... Always stick to the original! And by the way, check out Keeper of the Seven Keys and some live stuff as well.
Halloween have 3 guitars so the piano being played is for the third guitar actually. Halloween is actually Haruna's favorite band so that's why they performed a Halloween song during this concert. This would be from the DVD/BD so it would at least be remixed from the master if not like you said re-recorded instead of the raw of the stream.
Originally they only had 2 guitar players.
They only do that for the pumpkins united where Kai Hansen and Michael Kiske joins there old band.
and reunites all former members except Ingo who is no longer alive.
They're pretty much on point! Even the solos are copied from the original.
Recommend checking out the Pumpkins United concert from Wacken 2018(i believe?) where the old line-up has joined the new.
Though all of the guys are +55 they sound awesome! Michael Kiske was among the best vocalists... and he hadn't turned 20!! ...and was considered as a replacement for Bruce Dickinson when he took a break from Iron Maiden.
When he did this and I want out, who are both from "Keeper of the seven keys II"which by many are considered the breakthrough for Powermetal as genre.
From the concert i mentioned i recommend the title song from the "KOTSK II" album. It's like this rollercoaster ride and their "EPIC" so to speak.
I was a big Helloween fan back in the day and Haruna is a huge fan. You can hear lots of their influences on various songs and I hear just as much Helloween influence as Iron Maiden/Judas Priest in their stuff. I'll try to find it but somebody did a mash up of this with an old Helloween video. They are very true to the song as all have said. Their own stuff is better, I'm with you, but this is a great nod to their heros. All that bass stuff is straight from the Helloween version. Someone linked the Pumpkins United video. How many times has a old band had all 3 of the lead singers put their egos aside and do a shared performance for the fans. Found that mash up...
th-cam.com/video/pvAbQTj_i2w/w-d-xo.html
Yeah, pls react to the original and give some credit to Helloween. Its not fair to sum up a band just based on one song..somemore a radio friendly song..
Unfortunately, Miho the bassist and leader left Lovebites on August 17th. And Lovebites status is on hiatus. Please check on the official fanpage or twitter. I'll happy if you react their song called Frozen Serenade for Miho Tribute, no live but only compilation by fan.. still worth it
Just my two cents, I think this is live. This song sounds like the rest of the session, so whatever they did on this they did on the whole concert. I thought the overall sound from this session was OK, not great. The overall sound of the instruments and vocal sounds a bit thin and stale. The background sounds a bit boomy and slightly dirty, which has been covered up by plenty of reverb. If I had to venture a guess, I would say their using some major sound cancelation software on these live casts. A lot of those microphones placed around the periphery of the room may not be there to add room sound. They might be there to subtract room sound and crosstalk.
I think Nemophila has done the same sort of setup for their frequent live casts. In their case it appears they have set up their practice studio for the live casts. Unlucky Morpheus on the other hand has been shooting their web videos with dubbed audio. (and they make no claim they are playing live)
I would be curious to know what bands are using now for live cast work. It seems they can get a lot cleaner live in studio sound these days.
I was kinda “yeah, let’s thumb it up “ but then I thought, how can he value a cover without even knowing the original? So I reversed my thumb up
I think that you should put your eye (or ears?) to helloween band. Their bassist Martin Grosskompf was and still is a very original musician and you can clearly hear each of his bass lines in their songs. I heard Helloween in 80-s and after 30 years of listening to all types of heavy music I still cannot find any other band in power metal or speed metal who do the bass as Helloween did (and does). The only comparison is Steve Harris from Iron Maiden. But they play their own IronMaiden style. While Helloween is the godfather of what we know now as speed metal. It's very logical from Love bites to contribute to the band that had such a big impact on the music style they play. Listen to the 1st and 2nd Helloween albums, even though this particular song is taken from "Keeper of the 7 keys" dilogy where the band turned to a more commercially polished sound. And by the way, 'I want out" - the only song you heard on Head banger Ball is a very good song, but it represents the vocal range and ability of Michael Kiske who is also a legend and still sounds as good as in youth being 50+ years old now. But from the instrumentalist point of view first 2 Helloween albums were a breakthrough.
Helloween is Haruna’s favorite band! 🤘
Big Man a fair and honest review that I've come to expect from you 8.6 is ok But I want to give you a high 9.8 for remembering their names you only got 9.8 because it took you so long to get there Ha Ha
LOL That's fair I'll take it.
Big Man just to keep you in the loop your favourite bass player has left the band to-day
@@BigTam59 yeah I heard.
Maybe next time somebody requests a cover, wouldn't hurt if you have the time to check out the original. I can't stand hearing a cover w/o know the original first. That's just me.
Not a bad idea.
Today, 17 August 2021, their bassist, Miho-san, decided to left the band.
She doesn't tell what's the reason yet.
I can't say anything but the best for her!
*“Wherever you are, you are still a great bassist in our hearts!”*
- Wolfpacks 🤘🏻🐺
Great and honest reaction as always. It's weird, Helloween are one of my favorite metal bands of all time, especially as my favorite sub-genre in metal is power metal and yet I completely agree this is one of Lovebites weakest songs despite being a great cover. Not saying one band is greater than the other (i'm not into "console wars" anymore, too "old" for that, what is great is great, we can be fans of lots of bands and other things without degrading some to elevate others) but just thought I'd point that out. I think it's on the queue already but I have a feeling you'll love "Break the Wall"(Live from Zepp DiverCity, Tokyo)
Already in the que, added your name to the requesters.
Congratulations for remembering the names of the band members.
Question, and I'm genuinely curious, albeit clueless, about this. You said that this couldn't possibly be a live performance, due to how clean the sound was, and that makes perfect sense to me. But is it possible that the speakers weren't connected for this performance, and the ladies were only hearing each other through their in-ear monitors?
No what I meant was they were probably playing it live, so they could all play it together...and then later in post production they removed the audio from the live performance and overlayed the studio recording synced to the video. This is a very common thing to do for music videos, and it's actually really easy to do as long as the band is playing to a click and the time stamps line up.
@@THEDavidHeretic can you be a bit clearer for us non musicians. Are you saying that the recording of what we see them playing is synced later, or a DIFFERENT audio recording is synced later? Because to my eyes and ears, what I SEE being played (particularly by Haruna, for obvious reasons) is what I HEAR being played.
@@alekhidell What you're hearing is a studio recording that was probably recorded earlier, like what appeared on an album. Then they film themselves playing the song live to a click that is at the exact same speed as the studio recording. Later they remove the audio from the live video, and replace it with the studio recording. Since both were at the exact same speed, it synchs up perfectly. The only trick is lining up the audio with the video, but if you have the proper markers and timestamps it's really easy to do. Lot's of bands do it, it gives a live video a very clean and polished sound with no mic hiss or background feed interference.
I'm sure it was live, the drumming of Haruna did not deviate from the audio even it was very fast drumming. No one is perfect ..LOL
I can't believe you never heard the original. FAIL. ( But you got a KISS shirt on, so that says it all. )
You hating on KISS !! 🤣
@@brandydynamite5877 I am. I can't stand that band. All "show" and no "go". The music is too simple for me. And Gene has the biggest ego in the world. He's all about money, and women.
Miho leaves Lovebites!
Official since today August 17, 2021 ...
Hi David and thx for this reaction, awesome as always! But... ^^ Why reacting to a cover without hearing the original first ? You should for your next reaction to a cover ;-) Anyway, ok with everything you said, but at 19:08 you say you did not see Miho doing tapping before, but you did, on the Holy War reaction (one handed, do you remember ? ;-) ) Cheers from France ! :-)
Since you were gushing over Miho, I find it fitting to let you know that this morning, Miho officially announced that she is leaving LOVEBITES. In light of that, the band announced that they are taking a hiatus, effective immediately. While they say they will be back as a band, this is definitely not so great news for the LOVEBITES family. #sadday
Hurts worse than when Marco left Nightwish.
I imagine they're recording direct from the amps, not what's coming out of them.
Bandmaid just officially posted their online live video songs Manners + Black Hole.... :)
Now its time for David to react to some new stuff from The Wolfpack. Either Winds of Transylvania or Glory to the World would be nice-both are official videos so its all good. Lets go to 20 000 subs all together. ROCK ON!
Both songs are already in the que, you requested them.
🤘😼🤘
David, It's time you face down the monster that is Break the Wall. You have sat on one of their most brutal tracks. I would love for you to react to it.
Already in the que, added your name to the requesters.
Goodbye Miho See you on the next stage ( ノД`)シクシク…
😀 Not a bad cover, music is fairly accurate. Vocalist does a good job not trying to copy Kiske since that would have been a disaster
Good
I'm fast becoming a big fan of your channel. Please respond to this comment, I found you today, and I hope hope HOPE you're familiar with the origin of Lovebites and the song that gave their namesake. I would love for you to react to that song.
I think you're referring to the song "Love Bites (So Do I)" by Halestorm. It's already in the que, added your name to the requesters.
Just for you..
Helloween are the kings the creators the fathers of power metal...
80% off music off lovebites is the same sound...
I haven't heard them before. But great musicians.
But I kind of think it was real live sound. Especially the song sounded a bit muted, like going through a low-pass filter. Probably because of cancelation of room echos etc.
Anyway - if you liked the bass tapping, it's time to spend some quality time checking Charles Berthoud's YT channel.
Go to listen the original
The best band of power metal in the world...
Nearly the same about the live of Nemophila . That was postproduced
This was NOT postproduced. This was taken from a live stream they did a few months back to celebrate the release of their first album, and they played this song live. Just like you see it (and hear it) here. This recording is taken directly from the stream, no post production whatsoever.

I've tried and tried and tried to like Asami's vocals, but I just can't get into her. As talented as she obviously is, her voice is just very "blah" to my ears. They are a very talented band as a whole though.
She's from R&B and Jazz singer. When Lovebites was formed, Asami asked to Miho about changing her voice to make it more "metal". Then Miho said "no need", it gave a unique voice.
Btw she also sounds different when singing in Japanese.

Ok, let the rant begin. Such a shame you did not check out the original. I am confused as to why because with your musical ability and talent it would of made a better reaction and review video and not spoilt any impression of Lovebites and their version of the song. Here is the link to the Helloween version, please listen it when you can: th-cam.com/video/vUl6hPCYAvc/w-d-xo.html Out of preference, I prefer the Helloween version as it is a song written and performed by them and does not have the strings that Lovebites added. As soon as I heard the strings on my first watch of this 'live' performance, I knew what was going on. You have taken the time to explain it and unfortunately as you have expressed, there are too many people who do not understand this, even Lovebites fans.
Love this band, but i think vocals are annoying ad the weakest link. Change her and Lovebites will be huge.
あなたのライブ論は分かったけど、ちょっとしつこいかな?
You're crazy man !!! 😡 I think your ears are plugged😡 !!!!!
Decent but nowhere near on a Wagakki level ! Just saying.
Different genre, these ladies in the own league along with western/European power metal
When Yuko sing Bring Me To life it's not impressed me..
@@funnyrailroadcrossing2767 Wagakki gives you a journey through 2 and a half hour with maybe 10 different styles of music. Lovebites, Babymetal and those type of bands give you 1 style and when you know 1 song you know them all.
@@svenkreuzberg2274 because they have traditional instrument & culture, I sometimes listening to Wagaki too in my J-music playlist. Actually Lovebites not always power metal, but also thrash metal, hardrock, prog. Rock, acoustic ballad. Mostly new listeners don't know because they don't listen to the whole LB album.
Lovebites is not amateur musicians! They can play anything genre if they want. It just about what they like to playing. Heavy metal is not low level music! If you want compare traditional music, that's not work! Because clearly different! Traditional music must have a unique sound. Not just Japan, but almost country have they own traditional music.
@@hiufernando7340 i said the show and the songwriting is different. Nobody said they are bad musicians
