    Did you notice that Asami jumped off the platform with her skinny heels without breaking her ankles at the end of two hour show.

    I have been following this band since their debut album and honestly...I am 50 years old. I have been a metalhead for 40 years. I have listened to A LOT of bands. But Lovebites ,they are fucking special.I mean,SPECIAL!!!

      Same with me.
      I am a die-hard Iron Maiden fan since the 1980s, and _for my personal taste_ , Iron Maiden were the pinnacle of storytelling and melodic Metal. A few months ago, I added Lovebites and Nemophila. Both all-female Japanese Metal bands make my personal Metal "heaven" larger - and my playlist longer. 😁

    agreed - i'm a guitarist [bass] since '67 and m+m are imo the best duo in at least the last 20 years - maybe even 30. they strive for perfection and attain it

    When Asami (vocalist) once spoke with the director of the anime "VLAD LOVE," she said that she considers her singing voice to be part of the instrumentation, and that her priority is to get people to like the song itself before the message is conveyed. She also said that she can look up the lyrics later if she becomes more interested in the song.
    In fact, there are many words and expressions in Japanese that do not exist in other languages, and it is very difficult to convey delicate nuances. Still, since they grew up listening to foreign metal bands, they seem to feel uncomfortable with Japanese lyrics, so they insist on English lyrics.

    LOVEBITES - Holy War lyrics:
    Look at those black clouds, it’s going to rain blood
    People live in fear, covered in mud
    Singing oh Gloria to change the prophecy
    We are the metal warriors
    Fighting the darkness for sisters
    There is a thousand, a thousand of evils
    Hush, do not wake up Satan’s devils
    Singing Hallelujah to save our majesty
    We are the metal warriors
    Fighting the darkness for brothers
    Shining blade and burning heart
    Into the Gates of Hell we march
    Immortal soul, let there be light
    Into the Eye of Heaven
    Eagles at a holy war
    Fly higher than the sun
    We are one for all and all for one forevermore
    SOLO: midori
    Kingdom of Heaven, never shall we fall
    Reincarnation, wait for your call
    Singing oh, Gloria to change the prophecy
    We are the metal warriors
    Fighting the darkness for sisters
    Morning star and dying moon
    Into the Gates of Hell we march
    Mighty soul, let there be hope
    Into the Eye of Heaven
    Eagles at a holy war
    Fly higher than the sun
    Stand up in the name of the God of heavy metal
    What do we live for?What do we fight for, tonight?
    But the world is beautiful, worth fighting for
    Only have one thing on our mind
    Facing the fate, holy war
    SOLO: miyako / midori / both
    Singing Hallelujah to save our majesty
    We are the metal warriors
    Fighting the darkness for brothers
    Shining blade and burning heart
    Into the Gates of Hell we march
    Immortal soul, let there be light
    Into the Eye of Heaven
    Eagles at a holy war
    Fly higher than the sun
    We are one for all and all for one forevermore
    What do we live for?What do we fight for, tonight?

    Asami once said, that she doesn't bother not being understood at first glance (so she agrees with you), but "the lyrics can be later looked up", implying, that this is the second pleasure of the song. BTW: LOVEBITES lyrics (even if sometimes a bit flowery or fantasy like) are pretty good, mostly positive, and add somthing to it. But maybe not at first listening...

    It's always a joy to watch musicians React to Lovebites. M&M are great guitarists, but what really shines are their individual creative solo compositions. So radically different in style, but they give Lovebites a kind of 'balance' that few other bands have. In fact, their band 'nicknames' are 'Crazy Shredder' Midori, and Miyako is 'The Golden Touch'. I think it's time for one of their other sides. You might want to check out *_Swan Song [+Chopin Intro]_* th-cam.com/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/w-d-xo.html - and watch *Miyako* Shred some Chopin on a grand piano . . and then Shred the 1st lead solo - with a surprise at the end. As a musician you will be shocked/excited by _something_ every Lovebites song.

    Just case no-one told you. Lovebites toured with Dragon Force in England. There are videos, of some "skits" with both on stage. Herman Li wore a White mini-dress!!!
    Asami studied ballet in Los Angeles and is fluent in English able to write in English. She is the primary lyricist. She is only 4' 10", so ballet became a dead end. So she became a Jazz/R&B singer. Miho recruited Asami for Lovebites not just for her voice but her English fluency.
    Miyako has a YT channel, one episode is on her home studio. The studio is where Midori and her rehearse/practice their dual guitar harmonies.
    Midori went to school to learn how build guitars and one she built is in a Tokyo guitar shop - Not For Sale!!!

    I've always been the guy that never cares about lyrics, it has always been about the music and vocal sound. The lyrics I have seen so far in many of Lovebites songs are actually pretty cool once I read them and many are very uplifting, some of the very few times that I can say I like the lyrics. This band is just amazing at every aspect of their craft.

    She can belt.....duh you think LOL. At 4' 10" and in heels, she dances gracefully over the stage but make no mistake she is the Napoleon stage general who controls the crowd, the band, and the stage. M & M as always puts on the show, but here Miho and Haruna drive this presentation as usual despite little to no shine time. This is the intro song for most reactors.

    Excellent analysis. Everything I like about 2 guitars is fulfilled by LB. I have never been much of a heavy metal fan (Too gloomy, dark, and angry).LB is different in their presentation and on stage delivery. Props to old bassist Miho for the creation and formation of the group with Haruna. They set the table. That being said I believe new bassist Fami will bring LB to another level of world wide popularity. IMO they will become the best live performing heavy metal/ hard rock group in the world.

    Dude, my favorite group of all time is Led Zeppelin. I have been listening to them religiously since around 1975. I still don't know what Plant is singing in some of the songs. The cadence or "feel" and rhythm of what they are singing are generally way more important in this style of music. Yeah, Bruce Springsteen, the lyrics are super important. Metal music, not so much.

    • @jawosammadennhier7062
      @jawosammadennhier7062 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I am no Led Zeppelin fan, but I am a Metalhead nevertheless 😉, and (with a literature education in my background) I have the opinion, that in the core of Metal, it is about the _feelings_ , the _emotions_ the musicians want to express and to get across, and only in _second_ place it is about the lyrics - if at all.
      A perfect example for me is "Thunderstruck" (AC/DC), that totally pierces my emotions, and I am "in it" as soon as I hear it. I play air instruments, and I am besides me. But I also read the lyrics, and they are "not for me". 😁😉
      Or take "Empire of the clouds" (Iron Maiden), which has an amazing text full of meaning and depth, but Bruce (composer) and the band had a hard time to arrange the _music_ - which is not for everyone.

      @@jawosammadennhier7062 "I am no Led Zeppelin fan'" Sacrilege! LOL. Weird, I never got into metal music back in the day. Not exactly sure why either. The closets I got was Dio and even with him I only dabbled some. I was already into Van Halen and ACDC by the time Zeppelin broke up, but I was more a Bon Scott fan than Brian Johnson. And Van Halen lost me when Eddie decided he would rather play "below average" key boards over best in the world guitar. So after the the "For those about to rock album, and the coming of Sammy Hagar, I drifted away from them towards more main stream rock. Like Def Leopard. the 80's pretty much sucked for music for me.
      Only when I heard Metalica's Black album then Megadeath' Symphony of Destruction not long after that, did I start listening to heavier stuff.

    You know they have been around since 2016 and never been here (USA)…Why? I think one reason is their songs are to long for air play and finding a band that would want to go on after they open, (they are a hard act to follow) I guess Dragonforce is the only one.I think they are the best band that nobody has heard of. It’s a shame they have the whole package…lights,sound, drums, guitar, let there be Heavy Metal!!!!!!
