Friend, perhaps of the live versions of the video clips, this is the best. It's absolutely fantastic and crazy, the synths support it in a great way and, above all, Asami's final scream, which does not appear in the studio version, is one of her greatest vocal displays. In short, a total song. And of course, a round of applause for those in charge of the light and laser games, they create a wonderful atmosphere.
Well spotted Tim, the only time Midori uses this guitar is in this song, in the music video too. There's a story behind this guitar, it was crafted for her as a gift by students from ESP who make custom guitars. She was invited by ESP to "tour" their guitar schools around Japan, and each school built her a custom guitar for a total of 4 unique custom guitars. 🤘🔥
LOVEBITES - Winds Of Transylvania lyrics: Sneaking to that vein, ever devotion Taking in my hands, satisfaction Deep into the neck, only delusion Can't resist, insane tonight Shining like a vine, never enough Dripping off my hand, cause of desire Piece of tragedy, fading in moonlight Sink in red, I'm falling down Painting truth and lies, over and under Chasing round 'n' round, closer to thunder Pushing to the edge, never surrender Shades of cross inside of my head Flaming memories of the past Burn inside of the bloody red eyes Lying Borderline of a Castle Winds of Transylvania Innocent lullaby, chasing everywhere, Fleeting empty fate Break it down, like a game and I go fallin' now Make it all end A silent break of dawn, now the curtain rise Blood, Thirsty like a lost butterfly Reaching in now to get you, but then let you go again Veil searching us under the moonlight Let me in to a place by immortal fascination Now, show me the way of the parade tonight SOLO: miyako / midori / both Sneaking to that vein, ever devotion Taking in my hands, satisfaction Deep into the neck, only delusion Can't resist, insane tonight Flaming memories of the past Burn inside of the bloody red eyes Lying Borderline of a Castle Winds of Transylvania Innocent lullaby, chasing everywhere, Fleeting empty fate Break it down, like a game and I go fallin' now Make it all end A silent break of dawn, now the curtain rise Blood, Thirsty like a lost butterfly Reaching in now to get you, but then let you go again Veil searching us under the moonlight Let me in to a place by immortal fascination Now, show me the way of the parade tonight I wait and see Take me away to paradise LOVEBITES ! ----- lyrics: asami music: asami & Mao arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) & Mao album: Glory, Glory To The World 03/10/2021

Great review Tim. Yes, so is Haruna my favorite drummer. Her precision, power and stamina, highly technical and sophisticated drumming.....she is my queen. Miho, I just love her old school authentic style of bass. Regretfully, I think that her love to old school metal made her leave the band, but I love both old school Lovebites with Miho and modern Lovebites with Fami equally.
Absolutely amazing performance! An example of one of those rare times that even Midori, has to concentrate on her guitar work. Haruna, is living proof that Japanese people are from a different world.
I will always miss Miho but I think that Fami is an excellent bass player and somehow she’s reinvigorated the band and she also had a blast in their recent European tour.
I still am holding out hope they add more U.S. cities so I can go everywhere now is a couple states over Dallas Los Angeles and San Francisco as far as I know haven't sold out yet But I live closer to Seattle and Portland Oregon
Controlled chaos, is pretty much the definition thrash metal, and this is a thrash as it gets. If they were from California in the 80s they'd be right there with the likes of Megadeth, Metallica, Testament ect. Edit: lol right as I pressed send you said just that and even the same 3 bands.
By the way....the group should give Haruna, sometime, a small drum solo, even if it was 30 seconds, and prove once and for all that she is not a worse drummer, far from it, than Akane from Band Maid (wonderful drummer and wonderful band, of course). And I say the same about Fami.

Midori here is playing one of her 4 GCA guitars, built by her and students from ESP's Guitar Craft Academy. It is based on the ESP Arrow.

Ok, cool. I remember y'all telling me that story, but I forgot which guitar it was.
LOVEBITES - Winds Of Transylvania lyrics:
Sneaking to that vein, ever devotion
Taking in my hands, satisfaction
Deep into the neck, only delusion
Can't resist, insane tonight
Shining like a vine, never enough
Dripping off my hand, cause of desire
Piece of tragedy, fading in moonlight
Sink in red, I'm falling down
Painting truth and lies, over and under
Chasing round 'n' round, closer to thunder
Pushing to the edge, never surrender
Shades of cross inside of my head
Flaming memories of the past
Burn inside of the bloody red eyes
Lying Borderline of a Castle
Winds of Transylvania
Innocent lullaby, chasing everywhere,
Fleeting empty fate
Break it down, like a game and I go fallin' now
Make it all end
A silent break of dawn, now the curtain rise
Blood, Thirsty like a lost butterfly
Reaching in now to get you, but then let you go again
Veil searching us under the moonlight
Let me in to a place by immortal fascination
Now, show me the way of the parade tonight
SOLO: miyako / midori / both
Sneaking to that vein, ever devotion
Taking in my hands, satisfaction
Deep into the neck, only delusion
Can't resist, insane tonight
Flaming memories of the past
Burn inside of the bloody red eyes
Lying Borderline of a Castle
Winds of Transylvania
Innocent lullaby, chasing everywhere,
Fleeting empty fate
Break it down, like a game and I go fallin' now
Make it all end
A silent break of dawn, now the curtain rise
Blood, Thirsty like a lost butterfly
Reaching in now to get you, but then let you go again
Veil searching us under the moonlight
Let me in to a place by immortal fascination
Now, show me the way of the parade tonight
I wait and see
Take me away to paradise
LOVEBITES !

In Japan, the metal's color is "green"!!
Some people say that this song is controlled chaos.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤘🤘

I wish Midori would use that ‘V’ more! It sounds awesome 🤘🎸🐺
The V look sick on these ladies .. yes Midori should use that way more

You don't need a drum solo to prove anything. That's what I say.
They'll never be able to play that song live ... oh wait.
