Remember here in this vid Fami is only 20. Shes another master musician. Plays bass, guitar, keyboard sings and a composer. Theres a video on her YT channel where she plays every instrument and sings. There's an insane amount of talent and beauty in this band it's almost unreal. I honestly can't pick just one in this band as being my favorite. Every time I tried picking just one, another one of them does something to change my mind.

This song is a Midori showcase, and watching the live version will show you what I mean. She is pretty much playing solo lines all the way through. Plus, her stage persona during the live performance is scary in the best way!!!
Thank you for another awesome reaction, you guys are the best! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! 🐺🦃 I became a fan in early 2022, I watched all their previous works and had bought all their albums. At one point during the bass auditions, I was not following along very closely, and I was worried they would not be able to return at some point, Months had passed since their last update so when the showed up with their Fami reveal video, I became very excited to see what was coming, The Wolf Pack was all waiting for Lovebites to return to the scene. This song completely exceeded my expectations. This is when they became Lovebites 2.0. Fami joined the band just in time to add some of her bass licks to this song, which adds a whole new level because of how bold her bass runs are all over the song. To add to that, both Miyako & Midori improved their guitar sessions, especially Miyako. Haruna is adding such a powerful backbone with all those transitions and symbol work with her fills. Asami returned in such a powerful, amazing form. I am very thankful that Lovebites had the strength to return and plan out the Judgement day album while going through the recruitment process, most of all, I am thankful for Fami having the skills and tenacity to improve her Bass playing at such a young age, and having the initiative to apply herself to the Lovebites bass auditions. When determining if lovebites could make a return to the stage they asked themselves can they make a comeback and still be successful, so this song answered that question, and this is why they called it judgement day.⚔🛡🐺🐺
I never realized you had not reacted to this song before. My all-time favorite song by any band, done by my all-time favorite band. For me personally, this music video/studio version is perfection. Best solo run in a song I've ever heard, and Fami makes it a triple solo. Asami has contacts in this. Miyako & Midori, in my opinion from listening to metal for over 50 years, ARE the greatest dual leads ever. They are connected to each seamlessly. Happy Thanksgiving to you.
Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for the shout-out on the shirts!!!!! This is a fast song, and Midori is so shredded here!!!!! Actually, the first release of Fami is the song (Bravehearted) which is also a killer song, and I believe it was written by Haruna!!!!! La Gringa, if your Mother would like a shirt done, I'll do one for her!!!!! Thank you for what you do!!!!!
Happy Thanksgiving Clint! We loved the shirts! Really appreciate you taking the time to make them and you did an amazing job! Totally Stylin' ‼️ ..Much Love to you and we hope you had an amazing day!!
Those are well done tie dye, it takes effort to get them that cleanly done and centered. The day this music video was released was the same day I realized Lovebites was on top in the genre of power/thrash/speed and I'd have to set aside IM and JP on my all time list and move these women ahead.
Timeless masterpiece - but then: most of their songs are. This band is flawless by any measure. I want these ladies so badly to be global superstars. Alas, we aren't there yet. Let's call that one of life's little tragedies.
Being Japanese, Asami has both dark eyes and dark hair. She recently stopped wearing the blue contacts and personally I think she looks more natural for it. Like a lot of Japanese women she colours her hair. I asked a Japanese friend if it was possible that her hair would be brown or dark brown but he basically said that, genetically, if she’s Japanese, her natural hair colour, like Midori, Miyako, Miho, Fami and (presumably) Harupi, is black.
@ being in Japan, a week after from seeing the band live (again) and soon to see a Midori Kemper demo and Asami’s Xmas show, I’m *really* enjoying the holiday. Being (whisper it) from the U.K. Thanksgiving Day has little meaning and I imagine the Japanese celebrate it as “Labour Thanksgiving Day”, presumably as a result of post war US occupation.
I apologize, as a foreigner. I absolutely love the natural Japanese look. I’m way too old to care about appearances , but why change perfection? Just my opinion.
Fami's first official appearance as a member of Lovebites was in October 2022, 2 months before the release of the music video for Judgement Day. Lovebites performed the song Bravehearted in the studio
Happy Thanksgiving!!! GR8 reaction to LOVEBITES as always!!!! You could do LOVEBITES Christmas too. You know, LOVEBITES, the gift that keeps on giving!!!!
This dropped around Christmas 2022. It was the first thing they published in almost two years, and announced their comeback. The only crazier thing is that they play this live without a hitch.
Hi guys and Happy Thanksgiving! Thank you for sharing this banger. I really recommend checking the live version as well, because it's just so impressive to see the ladies play this just as perfectly on stage. When I first saw the MV I didn't think this could be done live, and then they just went and did...
Judgement Day was the first full song with Fami to be aired, but there's a short version of Bravehearted that was released at the same time her appointment as the new bassist was announced. th-cam.com/video/S3a-ecv5dWY/w-d-xo.html
The whole video used to be up with subtitles, but I think that whole channel that uploaded got deleted. Someone called DaRunningMan but I can't find his channel anymore.
Happy Thanksgiving! Sounds like La Gringa's Abuelo and I share a love of watching you two react every single day - and we give thanks to you for doing it as you're both always so positive and joyful and spread smiles every time. Judgement Day was the first MV (I'm pretty sure) that had Fami playing bass. The MV and live are both excellent - but it's Lovebites so obviously that's always going to be a thing. Great tie-dyes, maaaaan, and sweet mandala design. I was a big wearer of them back in the day and even tried making some a couple of times. They were, to say the least, nowhere near the quality of yours! PS Midori was fresh from placing really high in a Japanese national body-building contest when this MV was made. As for contact lenses, it's very common for music artists to wear different coloured contacts at various times. Band-Maid all have grey eyes in one of ther recent MV's!
Happy Thanksgiving Tony!! We know you're here with us everyday and always look forward to hearing from you!! Thanks for everything you've done for us and all the support and love you show us every day!! Wishing you the best always 🤘..Much 🧡
Miyako and Midori are like stillness and movement. Miyako gives off a cool vibe, while Midori exudes passion. I think this twin guitar pairing, which is the polar opposite, creates the perfect balance.
Great reaction gang! And Happy Thanksgiving to you guys Stateside. Unlike Halloween, this is not a festival we adopt in Australia, however I've had some great Thanksgiving meals with some American friends who are expats in S.E. Asia, including a memorable dinner in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam. The challenge was to find a local restaurant that could cater for a traditional turkey dinner with all the trimmings, and they delivered! btw, re Judgement Day, the ladies perform that track live, note perfect, including the amazing solos. As we've come to expect.
FINALLYYYYYYY i was wondering when you would get to this juggernaut - absolute perfection in my book and you both know that they kill this one live!?! Happy Thanksgiving -c ya next wednesday.....
Midori is shredded because she shreds 😅. She has competed in bodybuilding competitions. She is the truth. Check her out at NAMM shows. She bangs heads with the best of them.
When I come back and listen to this all I hear is Fami. The bass is so high in the mix. Maybe because its Fami's first official MV. And it is so delicious.
This is already a legendary MV, and it will stand the test of time as being among the best of the best. And wait till you see them slay this live! Great reaction, thank you! 🦃⚖🤘🐺🤘
Thanks for your reaction. All the girls have brown or dark eyes except Midori. Midori has gray-green eyes. In terms of teamwork, guitars synchronization/harmonization, Midori and Miyako (M&M) are perhaps the best pair of guitarists in metal today. In a review of LOVEBITES, a famous music critic wrote about Midori and Miyako: “It’s a crime to have two guitarists of such a high level in one band!”😊
She has an even more crazy and badass bass playing clip at her homepage. I don't mean the "Alien Alien" song but with an only japanese song title. The time lenght is 2minutes 9 seconds and she use her red/black checkered bass guitar. The playing is brutal, She play more technical than in the song Alien Alien.
Yes! I agree and know the video you're talking about: スラップタッピングで「チルノのパーフェクト算数教室」ベース弾いてみた Translates to 'Cirno's Perfect Math Class' As far as I know, no one has yet reacted.
I remember the first time I saw this video. Apart from a brief appearance on an old song this was Fami's first real piece with the band. I was very nervous. The band had been on hiatus for over a year following the departure of Miho and I, like many others, had feared that it was the end for this extraordinary ensemble. When they announced a new bassist there was an understandable nervousness that it just wasn't going to be the same. As a result I paid more attention to the bass lines than I normally would. Often the bass becomes subsumed beneath the virtuoso lead guitar licks but not in this instance. The brilliance of Fami's bass was evident right from the off and I remember sighing in relief. My favourite band was BACK and then some!
I was too busy being in disbelief on the departure of Miho but never got nervous or scared the ladies Asami and Midori often texted me back on Instagram reassuring me that they were coming back. The onslaught of many amazing bass players that went to audition was incredible, my last two picks was between Fami and Inchinose I loved them both and either one were going to be awesome. Hopefully on the next album Fami will compose a song or collaborate a composition.
Fami is a creative force by the way she attacks her bass. She wouldn’t be an integrated member of LB until she’s involved in the LB song writing. She’s only a part-timer due to her completing her schooling. Once she graduated, we will hear Fami in her full glory. Can’t wait.
Hi TJ & TG! Yes, I knew The Gringa would love seeing Midori 😍in this video, which is why I recommended the MV first over live. The way she’s shredded, it looks like she must have just finished a fitness competition the day before! And the live version is just as epic. It’s flawless, which is why I was giving both as an option. But I’m glad you decided on the MV first so in the future, you can see how perfect they perform it live. I hope TG doesn’t get scolded by Grandpa Gringa for her language, haha! Happy Thanksgiving and cheers to you both!🤘🐺🤘
Ken! Thanks so much for this one! That shit was nuts! Midori demolished that track and made dust out of it lol. Grandpa forgave the Gringa and all is good in the hood! Appreciate you man! Hope you had a marvelous day!! 💟💟
@@TJandTheGringa Haha, Glad to hear all is well in The Gringa family 😃. Like you, I’m also thankful for LOVEBITES. To me, they are the perfect band. Each and every one is phenomenally talented and together they form something that is way more than the sum of their individual parts. You said it best in one of your earlier LOVEBITES videos that they are like an all-star team of musicians. M&M are the best guitar duo I’ve ever witnessed. Haruna and Fami on rhythm are both so precise at keeping the beat, and the extra flourishes they add are always a nice surprise. And Asami, well what more can you say? She’s simply amazing. I’m also grateful to Miho to have the foresight to initially find and assemble all this talent together. Thanks again for a wonderful reaction! 🤘🐺🤘
All the ladies at the top of their game here and loving their new addition to the team....thanks for the great reaction! Every time I watch this I think that they should have a poster in their merch store of Asami, looking so indomitable with that sword at 16:58, in your video....I'd certainly buy one!! Happy Thanksgiving!
Lovebites had to have thought, it's our title track we need a four part guitar solo for this one. 😉. Midori showing off the shredded body she got working out during the pandemic. Shredding guitaring from a woman with a shredded body. I'm thankful for great Japanese bands like Lovebites and there's more Japanese bands you haven't seen yet. Happy Thanksgiving.
Hi from France: Miyako and Midori both started playing the piano around the age of 3 or 4. Miyako discovered the guitar around 18 and Midori around 20... And since they have a 2-year age gap, they discovered the guitar at the same time, you could say... But oddly enough, Midori seems to no longer be interested in the piano, while Miyako... the rest of the story is known. During an interview, Midori said she wanted to play as well as Kiko Loureiro... But she doesn't have many lessons to receive, she's THE Goddess of shred... What I appreciate when watching Midori is the delicacy, elegance, speed and precision of her left hand on the neck and the economy of gestures of her right hand which controls the pick. She is a perfect icon of how to hold and play a guitar... Enjoy Wolfpack!
In the live version it's easier to hear Midori's constant movement along the fret board. It disappears a bit in the mix here, but she doesn't rest for a second during this song. The MV is pretty great but they're always best live. I read in an interview somewhere that during their hiatus Miyako practiced her speed hard so now they are both shredders though Miyako still does the soulful stuff better than most contemporaries. In my not very humble opinion...😀 Enjoy your Thanksgiving, guys, and listen to great music while you eat and drink and feel merry (I know the 'merry' thing is for another holiday but still, never wrong to be merry, right)? Enjoy each other well! Thank you for all your fun reactions, looking forward to many more.
Happy Thanksgiving dear Tequila Amigo and la Gringa. Yeah Fami was the right choice for them she sparked them and now they look more energetic on the stage, even Miyako. There not much to say for Lovebites except the fact they deserve to be in a big four, next to the greatest bands all time. It's a shame band with such a phenomenal musicians to have around 150000 subscribers. I suggest to check the live version as well it's amazing. There is another underrated song called Today is the day, enjoy. Greetings from me and London. ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Asami is definitely wearing blue contacts. She always seems keen to do a bit of acting in their music videos when given a chance. (see Don't Bite The Dust and When Destinies Align). Thanks for Giving Thanks For LOVEBITES Day. We should make it a regular event 😊😊.
really nice shirts. and thank you for this reaction and appreciation of the ladies. they deserve so much recognition. their best MV imho is "when destinies align". killer song too. just saying.
I want to be her when I grow up.......LOL Midori is adored by most of the women in the Wolfpack, perhaps even more than the men. Forget her musical ability, you would have to spend hours daily in the gym to tone up to the stage this amateur bodybuilder has achieved. The M&M show is perfect but, the new bassist Fami (20 y,o.) fits right in. She isn't filling Miho's shoes, she brought her own ones with her along with her insane talent.
You mentioned Midori's heels - BUT did you notice ASAMI'S ! Every time I watch this video I think her shoes must be nailed to the floor - they are SO high ! ( and she never moves her feet throughout the whole video ) 🤷♂🤣
They recorded this song first and made first video too from new album which is also named Judgment day. Asami said that this video with dark parts presents your own fears. That is the greatest battle-If you can beat your fears than you can do anything. It makes sense to me... Its a great song really, fast, powerful, progressive power metal at highest level. Solos are crazy-Midori shreds during the whole song more or less. Gotta love it. And you can heat the bass all the time from behind with drumms like AK-47... Asami is amazing too-no weak point again, not even for a second....They are the metal band in the universe these days for sure-nobody can tell me otherwise
Hey, i was on a Grateful Dead concert in 1984 here in Bremen, Germany. And i have the feeling most of the people here have no plan who they are / were.
Midori Tatematsu before Lovebites in the band Gekijo Metalicche th-cam.com/video/YH9-VpZoo8g/w-d-xo.html&start_radio=1 also Midori began weight training in November 2021 during a hiatus in Lovebites' activities, and has since earned two silver medals in fitness competitions. Also she once said she is only 4ft 11in tall and born May 28, 1988)
If u listen careful, Midori is more or less soloing for the whole song (6 min), its deep in the mix but it,s there, Miyako does it in SSS, this is Midoris turn. And she is a fitnessmodell not a bodybuilder...Fantastic song, in my top 5, Harupi makes the flash jealous and Fami is Famitastic...
I remember when this came out I though, yep.....Fami belongs there. Everything you said and Midori and Miyako is spot on. There's a place on the video that I want either as a screen saver or poster and that is around 4:19-4:20. When you see it you'll know what I mean. It's hard to hear in this video but Midori plays an awesome part during the chorus. Happy US Thanksgiving to you both.
"Oh s**t!" - I think that was the general reaction across the world when this came out.. lol. Someone just flipped the switch on Little Big Engine and let her go. This and STAND AND DELIVER were the first tracks to be presented from the new album with their new bassist, and what an album it turned out to be - probably one of the heavier, more consolidated releases in their catalogue to date... Oh and Midori takes part in bodybuilding competitions and had just completed one during the band's hiatus, just prior to this project, so there's no denying that the world got to embrace a little extra treat with her making the part her own! I believe Asami wears contacts, yes.
Asami wear contacts. And Midori was preparing the Tokyo body fitness competition were she won silver medal. So here she is really she shredded shredder. Also i noticed that Asami looks more "breasty" in this MV. Maybe it's not long after she gave birth.
Well, what else can I say about these outstanding female musicians? I discovered Lovebites in early 2020 and I’m still in awe. Thanks for the reaction and I wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Hi TJ and TG, tx for the great Lovebites reactions! I saw them live in San Francisco, they were outstanding. Just a random suggestion, but if you're looking for some epic dual guitar, drumming and song-writing try Mastodon, The Last Baron.
A Lovebites reaction with Jimmy and the Gringa, the serene zen background, honey glazed ham, football soon! Dinner! Family! What is there not to be thankful about today?! Well, unless you are a Turkey 🦃 I know they hate and they been thinking about this day for the last 364 days… 😂😂😂😂 Thank you guys 🙏🏼 Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone!!! We are all blessed beyond words 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Miyako said, they throw away around 80% of what she comes up with - their lesser songs never see the day of light 😁 I know another person to run around a stage in high heels: Asami 🤩 Happy thanksgiving to you, also to your grandpa!
Yerah, I've seen that as well and Asami's are often more stiletto style! But if anyone should be able to do that, as a former ballerina, she should have an edge!
Happy turkey day and I am thankful for you guys and your channel, it's not an older one per se it was one before the new EP. Sorry Gringa but Lovebites doesn't affiliate themselves with anything evil or witchcraft of any kind, they said it in several interviews we are the total opposite of what metal is seen as. Asami does in fact wear eye contacts and blonde wigs. If you have never seen Judas Priest in the late 70s and early 80s Tipton and Downing were the monsters of shred the came along Murry and Smith of Iron Maiden, so the ladies fit very well in a very small group of masters.
If you want to see Miyako's extraordinary talent, I suggest you a lesser known song, "The Crusade" (The Live Version of 2021). This song, which is a sort of tribute to the Iron Maiden, is contained in the EP "Battle Against Damnation" of 2018, and also exists in Music Video. But in the Live version Miyako does exceptional things on the guitar, an infinite tapping and other incredible technical acrobatics. She will surprise you again!
thank you for your fantastic reactions to the best band on the face of the earth! yes there is no doubt Asami was born with blue eyes and blond hair 💗🤣
Hermoso verlos un jueves con Lovebites.... Reaccionen a Journey to the other side.... ( en vivo)... Tema q dedico Miho a su padre a poco de su fallecimiento... Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷
As you say, Midori and Miyako are fucking awesome. But i cannot stop listening to Haruna and Fami and i'm jaw dropped. And Asami voice is .....................This band is just a metal dream.
Another Banger frm Lovebites 🔥🔥 along with the best reaction couple 👌🙏 I’m waiting to see you 2 react to The Crusade Live version.. a song written to honor Iron Maiden .. M&M rip it up 😮👌🙏
I believe you still haven't seen Helloween. So if you want to see THREE great guitarists play Solo's like this I suggest How many tears live from Wacken!
Remember here in this vid Fami is only 20. Shes another master musician. Plays bass, guitar, keyboard sings and a composer. Theres a video on her YT channel where she plays every instrument and sings. There's an insane amount of talent and beauty in this band it's almost unreal. I honestly can't pick just one in this band as being my favorite. Every time I tried picking just one, another one of them does something to change my mind.
Love your channel. Have a happy turkey day, You definitely have to react to the live version of Judgement Day. Keep up the good work.
Happy Thanksgiving!! Thanks so much for watching us 🤗🤗
Thanks you , always ! Lovebites forever !
Thanks for watching!!
LOVEBITES - Judgement Day lyrics & credits:
Never lived Never died Never end No way to go
Every night Everywhere Everything Arriving of darkness
What is “right” What is “wrong” What is “sin” Who’s to decide?
Hide and seek Truth or dare Playing tag Chased by the evil
Another back and forth of gaining and losing
Running out of my time
Each tick of the clock’s taking down piece of my life again
Who’s ally Who’s against Who’s to pick All in your hand
Up and down, in and out, left or right, answers turn around
What do you see in this world full of insanity?
When the rain come to end, what’s waiting us Don’t look away
This is the truth
RISE! THIS IS JUDGEMENT DAY!
Life - Given the “foreverness”
RISE! THIS IS JUDGEMENT DAY!
Life - Leaving name in history
Tragedy in the past find salvation
Now with the great will, the path lay in front of me
Starting here, this is the day!
SOLO: midori / miyako /midori /miyako / both
Never lived Never died Never end No way to go
Every night Everywhere Everything Arriving of darkness
What do you see in this world full of insanity?
When do we come to ask what's awaiting us, don't look away!
This is the truth!
RISE! THIS IS JUDGEMENT DAY!
Life - Given the “foreverness”
RISE! THIS IS JUDGEMENT DAY!
Life - Leaving name in history
Tragedy in the past, find salvation
Now with the great will, the path lay in front of me
Starting here, this is the day!
Judgement day!
Judgement day!
Judgement day!

I became a fan in early 2022, I watched all their previous works and had bought all their albums.

Yes, Lovebites is just next level. Louder, harder and faster. Mind-blowing intense punch is unstoppable. Thanks guys, you both are great 👍🤘
Thank 🫵4️⃣⌚ing‼️‼️
Great reaction to the titular track from their latest full LP "Judgement Day" ! Now, watch them kill this song LIVE. Happy Thanksgiving guys !
Thanks so much Bo! Much ♥️ 2🫵‼️

Great tie-dyes, maaaaan, and sweet mandala design. I was a big wearer of them back in the day and even tried making some a couple of times. They were, to say the least, nowhere near the quality of yours! PS Midori was fresh from placing really high in a Japanese national body-building contest when this MV was made. As for contact lenses, it's very common for music artists to wear different coloured contacts at various times. Band-Maid all have grey eyes in one of ther recent MV's!
Happy Thanksgiving Tony!! We know you're here with us everyday and always look forward to hearing from you!! Thanks for everything you've done for us and all the support and love you show us every day!! Wishing you the best always 🤘..Much 🧡
I discover Lovebites with the eagle fly free cover, but the first original song from them was this one. The result ... Instant love.
Happy Thanksgiving to all. I'd say I hope everyone has a good one, but we're getting Lovebites again on here. So it already is!
Happy Thanksgiving Dude‼️‼️🤘
If I recall correctly this video was recorded fairly short after a bodybuilding competition Midori was competing in and ended in top 5.
Miyako and Midori are like stillness and movement. Miyako gives off a cool vibe, while Midori exudes passion. I think this twin guitar pairing, which is the polar opposite, creates the perfect balance.
This is SHRED FEST 🤩the best solos since 1990 of Painkiller time.
📣RIIIIIISEEEEEEE‼️
📣THIS IS JUDGEMENT DAAAYY‼️
🤟🏻🔥🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🔥🤘🏻
Un placer ver las reacciones a mi banda favorita, gracias👏🏻👏🏻
🤘🤘
Great reaction gang! And Happy Thanksgiving to you guys Stateside. Unlike Halloween, this is not a festival we adopt in Australia, however I've had some great Thanksgiving meals with some American friends who are expats in S.E. Asia, including a memorable dinner in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam. The challenge was to find a local restaurant that could cater for a traditional turkey dinner with all the trimmings, and they delivered!
btw, re Judgement Day, the ladies perform that track live, note perfect, including the amazing solos. As we've come to expect.
Thank you so much‼️😃
FINALLYYYYYYY i was wondering when you would get to this juggernaut - absolute perfection in my book and you both know that they kill this one live!?! Happy Thanksgiving -c ya next wednesday.....
They used to wear contacts at big venues recorded for DVD,BR, and MV's. Thank you 4 being you =)
Midori is shredded because she shreds 😅. She has competed in bodybuilding competitions. She is the truth. Check her out at NAMM shows. She bangs heads with the best of them.
Nameless warrior, the solo from midori is Divine
Yes, it is sublime!
dinnerを食べながら見てしまってexciteしました。
Liveも良いけどPVもいいよね。
本当にありがとうございます！私たちはあなたに感謝し、あなたがここにいてくれることを嬉しく思っています!!
Este fue el tema de entrada al mundo Lovebites. Saludos desde Chile. Happy Thanksgiving Day.
Gracias!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Midori looks like she could play an Amazon Warrior extra in Wonder Woman!💪
🤣💯‼️
They don't miss. Happy Thanksgiving
When I come back and listen to this all I hear is Fami. The bass is so high in the mix. Maybe because its Fami's first official MV. And it is so delicious.
This is already a legendary MV, and it will stand the test of time as being among the best of the best. And wait till you see them slay this live! Great reaction, thank you! 🦃⚖🤘🐺🤘
Thanks for your reaction. All the girls have brown or dark eyes except Midori. Midori has gray-green eyes.
In terms of teamwork, guitars synchronization/harmonization, Midori and Miyako (M&M) are perhaps the best pair of guitarists in metal today. In a review of LOVEBITES, a famous music critic wrote about Midori and Miyako: “It’s a crime to have two guitarists of such a high level in one band!”😊
Best guitar duo I've ever seen in a band period.
@@metalmark1214 I agree with you. 💚🎸💙
💯‼️‼️
Agree w you both !! They are on a whole other level.
She has an even more crazy and badass bass playing clip at her homepage. I don't mean the "Alien Alien" song but with an only japanese song title. The time lenght is 2minutes 9 seconds and she use her red/black checkered bass guitar. The playing is brutal, She play more technical than in the song Alien Alien.
Alien Alien deserves a reaction
Yes! I agree and know the video you're talking about: スラップタッピングで「チルノのパーフェクト算数教室」ベース弾いてみた Translates to 'Cirno's Perfect Math Class' As far as I know, no one has yet reacted.
Oh Damn! Gotta check that out !! 💗
@@RedShift76. Thanks for the info 🙂👍.
It's a shame that all commenters recommend the Alien Alien song to the Reactors and not the hardcore one 😐🤘.
Yup, do it! 🙂🤘. You wont believe your eyes and ears.
She put Billy Sheehan to shame on that one.
I remember the first time I saw this video. Apart from a brief appearance on an old song this was Fami's first real piece with the band. I was very nervous. The band had been on hiatus for over a year following the departure of Miho and I, like many others, had feared that it was the end for this extraordinary ensemble. When they announced a new bassist there was an understandable nervousness that it just wasn't going to be the same. As a result I paid more attention to the bass lines than I normally would. Often the bass becomes subsumed beneath the virtuoso lead guitar licks but not in this instance. The brilliance of Fami's bass was evident right from the off and I remember sighing in relief. My favourite band was BACK and then some!
I agree, Fami is a masterful phrase structure and dominates this song from behind the scenes.
I was too busy being in disbelief on the departure of Miho but never got nervous or scared the ladies Asami and Midori often texted me back on Instagram reassuring me that they were coming back. The onslaught of many amazing bass players that went to audition was incredible, my last two picks was between Fami and Inchinose I loved them both and either one were going to be awesome. Hopefully on the next album Fami will compose a song or collaborate a composition.
Fami is a creative force by the way she attacks her bass. She wouldn’t be an integrated member of LB until she’s involved in the LB song writing. She’s only a part-timer due to her completing her schooling. Once she graduated, we will hear Fami in her full glory. Can’t wait.
It's hard to top this song for me. It's too perfect.
Happy feasting to USA from Switzerland! PS: Don't forget the bass. Badass FAMI!
🧡
Hi TJ & TG! Yes, I knew The Gringa would love seeing Midori 😍in this video, which is why I recommended the MV first over live. The way she’s shredded, it looks like she must have just finished a fitness competition the day before! And the live version is just as epic. It’s flawless, which is why I was giving both as an option. But I’m glad you decided on the MV first so in the future, you can see how perfect they perform it live. I hope TG doesn’t get scolded by Grandpa Gringa for her language, haha! Happy Thanksgiving and cheers to you both!🤘🐺🤘
Ken! Thanks so much for this one! That shit was nuts! Midori demolished that track and made dust out of it lol. Grandpa forgave the Gringa and all is good in the hood! Appreciate you man! Hope you had a marvelous day!! 💟💟
@@TJandTheGringa Haha, Glad to hear all is well in The Gringa family 😃. Like you, I’m also thankful for LOVEBITES. To me, they are the perfect band. Each and every one is phenomenally talented and together they form something that is way more than the sum of their individual parts. You said it best in one of your earlier LOVEBITES videos that they are like an all-star team of musicians. M&M are the best guitar duo I’ve ever witnessed. Haruna and Fami on rhythm are both so precise at keeping the beat, and the extra flourishes they add are always a nice surprise. And Asami, well what more can you say? She’s simply amazing. I’m also grateful to Miho to have the foresight to initially find and assemble all this talent together. Thanks again for a wonderful reaction! 🤘🐺🤘
Happy Thanksgiving to every one~ 🦃🦃 I can not think of any other way to start of my favorite holiday than with you and Lovebites!
Happy Thanksgiving!! ♥️♥️
All the ladies at the top of their game here and loving their new addition to the team....thanks for the great reaction! Every time I watch this I think that they should have a poster in their merch store of Asami, looking so indomitable with that sword at 16:58, in your video....I'd certainly buy one!! Happy Thanksgiving!
Please talk about Haruna in this song , what she do on the drumms on this song is out of this world
We mentioned her and her drumming in the video 😊.. We are HUGE Harupi fanZ 👍
good job as always. this is a great song!!!!!!! happy thanksgiving to you guys.
Same to you!!..All the Best!!
Lovebites had to have thought, it's our title track we need a four part guitar solo for this one. 😉. Midori showing off the shredded body she got working out during the pandemic. Shredding guitaring from a woman with a shredded body.
I'm thankful for great Japanese bands like Lovebites and there's more Japanese bands you haven't seen yet. Happy Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving Mark!! Thanks for alway chiming in w some kick ass fun facts 😊. Much 🧡 2️⃣🫵‼️
Hi from France:
Miyako and Midori both started playing the piano around the age of 3 or 4. Miyako discovered the guitar around 18 and Midori around 20... And since they have a 2-year age gap, they discovered the guitar at the same time, you could say...
But oddly enough, Midori seems to no longer be interested in the piano, while Miyako... the rest of the story is known.
During an interview, Midori said she wanted to play as well as Kiko Loureiro... But she doesn't have many lessons to receive, she's THE Goddess of shred...
What I appreciate when watching Midori is the delicacy, elegance, speed and precision of her left hand on the neck and the economy of gestures of her right hand which controls the pick. She is a perfect icon of how to hold and play a guitar...
Enjoy Wolfpack!
Great reaction guys! Midori is my favorite! She’s such a badass! 🎸💪🤩 Happy Thanksgiving to you both! Greetings from Canada! 🎸🥁🐺❤️
Thank you !! Hope you have a marvelous day!! 💗💗💗
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TOO!!!!!
💗💗💗 Happy Thanksgiving 💗💗💗
Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving!
Great Band and awesome Songs.❤❤❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺
Midori, the shredded shredder.
💪🦵💪🦵💪🏋️
💚Midori💚
The shredded shredder! 🎸💪💚
In the live version it's easier to hear Midori's constant movement along the fret board. It disappears a bit in the mix here, but she doesn't rest for a second during this song. The MV is pretty great but they're always best live.
I read in an interview somewhere that during their hiatus Miyako practiced her speed hard so now they are both shredders though Miyako still does the soulful stuff better than most contemporaries. In my not very humble opinion...😀
Enjoy your Thanksgiving, guys, and listen to great music while you eat and drink and feel merry (I know the 'merry' thing is for another holiday but still, never wrong to be merry, right)? Enjoy each other well! Thank you for all your fun reactions, looking forward to many more.
Thanks so much for watching us!! ❤️❤️❤️
!!!GOODISM¡¡¡ LOVEBITES is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Greetings from Argentina
Yes!This is exactly great Fami introduction.
And just relisten the track and focus on Haruna:she beats unstoppable ✌
Happy Thanksgiving dear Tequila Amigo and la Gringa. Yeah Fami was the right choice for them she sparked them and now they look more energetic on the stage, even Miyako. There not much to say for Lovebites except the fact they deserve to be in a big four, next to the greatest bands all time. It's a shame band with such a phenomenal musicians to have around 150000 subscribers. I suggest to check the live version as well it's amazing. There is another underrated song called Today is the day, enjoy. Greetings from me and London. ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Happy Thanksgiving Amigo!! We love your comments everyday... hope you had a magnificent day today !! ❤️
Asami is definitely wearing blue contacts. She always seems keen to do a bit of acting in their music videos when given a chance. (see Don't Bite The Dust and When Destinies Align). Thanks for Giving Thanks For LOVEBITES Day. We should make it a regular event 😊😊.
Great Thanksgiving treat…thanks
The facial expressions of Midori is what gets me every time!
Happy Thanksgiving to the Wolf Pack.
🤘🐺🤩!
really nice shirts. and thank you for this reaction and appreciation of the ladies. they deserve so much recognition. their best MV imho is "when destinies align". killer song too. just saying.
I want to be her when I grow up.......LOL Midori is adored by most of the women in the Wolfpack, perhaps even more than the men. Forget her musical ability, you would have to spend hours daily in the gym to tone up to the stage this amateur bodybuilder has achieved. The M&M show is perfect but, the new bassist Fami (20 y,o.) fits right in. She isn't filling Miho's shoes, she brought her own ones with her along with her insane talent.
You mentioned Midori's heels - BUT did you notice ASAMI'S !
Every time I watch this video I think her shoes must be nailed to the floor - they are SO high ! ( and she never moves her feet throughout the whole video ) 🤷♂🤣
I will pay more attention to that!!
They recorded this song first and made first video too from new album which is also named Judgment day. Asami said that this video with dark parts presents your own fears. That is the greatest battle-If you can beat your fears than you can do anything. It makes sense to me...
Its a great song really, fast, powerful, progressive power metal at highest level. Solos are crazy-Midori shreds during the whole song more or less. Gotta love it. And you can heat the bass all the time from behind with drumms like AK-47... Asami is amazing too-no weak point again, not even for a second....They are the metal band in the universe these days for sure-nobody can tell me otherwise
Midory, Warrior Queen just back from the Body building circuit looking awesome ❤
You have to see the live version of this song, it's just breathtaking
Happy Thanksgiving to you both!
Happy Thanksgiving to you as well Vincent...Hope you had a great one!! 🤘
@@TJandTheGringa I did, thank you!
Cualquier dia es fenomenal para celebrarlo con estas damas,feliz dia y disfrutarlo a lo musical,excelente saludos
Hey, i was on a Grateful Dead concert in 1984 here in Bremen, Germany. And i have the feeling most of the people here have no plan who they are / were.
Midori Tatematsu before Lovebites in the band Gekijo Metalicche th-cam.com/video/YH9-VpZoo8g/w-d-xo.html&start_radio=1 also Midori began weight training in November 2021 during a hiatus in Lovebites' activities, and has since earned two silver medals in fitness competitions. Also she once said she is only 4ft 11in tall and born May 28, 1988)
If u listen careful, Midori is more or less soloing for the whole song (6 min), its deep in the mix but it,s there, Miyako does it in SSS, this is Midoris turn. And she is a fitnessmodell not a bodybuilder...Fantastic song, in my top 5, Harupi makes the flash jealous and Fami is Famitastic...
This is one of their best videos and songs for sure. I like their deliberately epic stuff, that’s what they do best.
I remember when this came out I though, yep.....Fami belongs there. Everything you said and Midori and Miyako is spot on. There's a place on the video that I want either as a screen saver or poster and that is around 4:19-4:20. When you see it you'll know what I mean. It's hard to hear in this video but Midori plays an awesome part during the chorus.
Happy US Thanksgiving to you both.
"Oh s**t!" - I think that was the general reaction across the world when this came out.. lol. Someone just flipped the switch on Little Big Engine and let her go. This and STAND AND DELIVER were the first tracks to be presented from the new album with their new bassist, and what an album it turned out to be - probably one of the heavier, more consolidated releases in their catalogue to date... Oh and Midori takes part in bodybuilding competitions and had just completed one during the band's hiatus, just prior to this project, so there's no denying that the world got to embrace a little extra treat with her making the part her own! I believe Asami wears contacts, yes.
Asami wear contacts. And Midori was preparing the Tokyo body fitness competition were she won silver medal. So here she is really she shredded shredder.
Also i noticed that Asami looks more "breasty" in this MV. Maybe it's not long after she gave birth.
Well, what else can I say about these outstanding female musicians? I discovered Lovebites in early 2020 and I’m still in awe. Thanks for the reaction and I wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Ate Shabu Shabu for Thanksgiving, then went bar hopping in Golden Gai.
Happy Thanksgiving to you!
Sounds like you did it right ‼️‼️🍻🍻
❤
Hi TJ and TG, tx for the great Lovebites reactions! I saw them live in San Francisco, they were outstanding. Just a random suggestion, but if you're looking for some epic dual guitar, drumming and song-writing try Mastodon, The Last Baron.
A Lovebites reaction with Jimmy and the Gringa, the serene zen background, honey glazed ham, football soon! Dinner! Family! What is there not to be thankful about today?! Well, unless you are a Turkey 🦃 I know they hate and they been thinking about this day for the last 364 days… 😂😂😂😂
Thank you guys 🙏🏼
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone!!! We are all blessed beyond words 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Miyako said, they throw away around 80% of what she comes up with - their lesser songs never see the day of light 😁
I know another person to run around a stage in high heels: Asami 🤩
Happy thanksgiving to you, also to your grandpa!
Yerah, I've seen that as well and Asami's are often more stiletto style! But if anyone should be able to do that, as a former ballerina, she should have an edge!
@@anthonypowell6234 Ballerina vs fitness model queen - both geared at body control 😄
Happy turkey day and I am thankful for you guys and your channel, it's not an older one per se it was one before the new EP. Sorry Gringa but Lovebites doesn't affiliate themselves with anything evil or witchcraft of any kind, they said it in several interviews we are the total opposite of what metal is seen as. Asami does in fact wear eye contacts and blonde wigs. If you have never seen Judas Priest in the late 70s and early 80s Tipton and Downing were the monsters of shred the came along Murry and Smith of Iron Maiden, so the ladies fit very well in a very small group of masters.
Thank you for all the info!! Happy Thanksgiving 🤘🤘
If you want to see Miyako's extraordinary talent, I suggest you a lesser known song, "The Crusade" (The Live Version of 2021). This song, which is a sort of tribute to the Iron Maiden, is contained in the EP "Battle Against Damnation" of 2018, and also exists in Music Video. But in the Live version Miyako does exceptional things on the guitar, an infinite tapping and other incredible technical acrobatics. She will surprise you again!
Noted!!
期待通り、最高のリアクトありがとうございます！m(__)m
どりみ姐さん(midoriの事です)は、海外の女性リアクターにとても人気があります☆

I knew it!! 😂🤣

As you say, Midori and Miyako are fucking awesome. But i cannot stop listening to Haruna and Fami and i'm jaw dropped. And Asami voice is .....................This band is just a metal dream.
