Just so you know, it was exactly one of your reactions that introduced me to Lovebites, they are now my favorite band of all time, so im eternally grateful. Glad to see you reacting to this amazing band again.
Chase, thanks for your insightful thoughts and analysis as a musician. I was never a fan of metal, but was first introduced to Metallica by Kirk Hammet's sister. What I discovered these past 4-5 months in my Lovebites journey has become a source of inspiration because of their relentless pursuit of excellence. They are nothing short of a transcendent band of committed musicians whose destines were aligned to inspire us beyond narrow tribal genres and categorizations. All I can say is THANK YOU LOVEBITES for being faithful to the calling ... and for sharing with us your musical gifts, your skills, and your dedication to perfecting your craft! May 2023 become The Year of the Lovebites Pandemic ... one that should to help heal our world musically and otherwise!
Having played guitar in my younger days, I could never get anywhere close to the technical mastery that Midori and Miyako posess. Absolute Phenoms. Fami accentuates everyone in the group perfectly, and I suspect this will be a pivotal album for Lovebites and hopefully will see massive growth. Props to the shout-out for Bobby (Just Another Reactor). He's a really great guy, and really deserves more love from the community.
Lovebites attracts greatness. Whether it be fans, musicians or reviewers. Thank you for your inciteful , intelligent reviews and honest reactions Chase.
I know you did very few lives of Lovebites when you checked them out but when you do, live is often preferred to studio. And they are as consistent live as on the album. And as synchronized, so you're in for a treat. Sometimes it's easy to overlook some things in view of the sheer mastery of the guitarists, but listen to the drums. Her accents, the use of the bell...while still keeping this furious beat. This is not a band with two amazing guitarists and a band, it's a group of musicians on top of their game. And the bassists is only 20! Imagine her in 10 years...
I greatly enjoyed your reaction. Watching your eyes widen and the eyebrows getting higher and higher is a good indicator of what your thinking. And I always love it when reactors slump back in their chairs. Its as if they've succumbed to the brilliance of what they are seeing and hearing. I've seen it quite a lot amongst LOVEBITES reactions.
It's the look of sheer joy on your face that makes this reaction. I don't know how anyone could fail to be impressed with this song, at least among metal fans. It seems to have it all, including having a catchy as hell chorus. Let's hope they can manage a world tour with this upcoming album and really take off globally.
When I heard this song the first time I was absolutely stunned. I could not have described what's going on in this song, at least you found words for it and I've enjoyed every single moment of your video. Awesome reaction!
HOLY CRAP!!! I was sitting here picking random reaction videos to watch and I noticed one of my favorite reactors reacting to Judgement Day by Lovebites, so I click. Awesome reaction as always but then you gave my channel a shoutout at the end. I about fell out of my damn chair. 😄 I very much appreciate that Chase. I’ve been watching your reactions for a few years. By the way, not too long ago I watched your reaction to Maximum The Hormone’s A.L.I.E.N. and really enjoyed it. I would highly recommend more MTH. I’d like to suggest “Let’s Talk About Menkata Cottelee”. A song that is all over the place but in an awesome way. Thanks again for the shoutout.
Aaaah dude that’s very kind of you. Happy to be able to connect and hopefully send some people and good vibes your way. Thank you for the kind words and hope all is well your side.
Hi Chase, on the offchance that you pick up this late comment, just thought I'd mention that Lovebites have a new live track called Hammer of Wrath on their official channel, recorded live in March this year. It's from the concert blu ray which will be released on 23rd August, and promises to be another Lovebites Masterclass.The song is an older one, and a favourite concert opener for its sheer exuberance and energy. What makes it extra special is this was new bassist Fami's first concert before a large audience. You'd forgive her for being a bit nervous, but she smashes it and never stops smiling, it's a great treat. Hope to see you catch up with these wonderful ladies again soon, your reactions to them are always eagerly awaited. Cheers from a sunny and warm Sydney (its supposed to be winter!)
Did you notice Fami's slap bass really come through in the second half of that long solo section? That is my favorite part in this great song. Just because it shows me she was the right pick for a replacement. Sounds so incredibly good to hear slap bass in metal. It is way too rare for my likings.
Chase, bro 😄 Happy and prosperous 2023 and welcome back to Lovebites! We, the wolfpack have been piling skeletons awaiting your "comeback" to Lovebites. Glad you chose Lovebites 2.0 on steroids! Even though Miyako (V custom Dean) and Asami (Singer) got married and had children, they practices to be even better. Midori on the other hand became real shredded shredder doing some Fitness/Body building competitions. Haruna (drums), well her cymbal work is always exquisite. But what the biggest difference is - Fami on bass. I think her versatility and crazy mindbogglingly techniques (check her channel, has more subs than the band she's in) of finger picking, tapping and slapping brings this band to an even higher level. Like we thought they could go higher, but hey, it's Lovebites. Anything is possible. Thanks and cheers!
The guitars are just Lovebites being Lovebites, amazing as always. What I loved the most about this song is Fami, the new bassist. I was afraid that she'd just be the replacement, swap one bassist for another and move on, like so many bands did and are doing. But, thankfully, I was wrong. Fami here is being Fami, doing her own thing in her own style, but as part of a band that already had an established sound but did not hesitate (pun intended, for those who know) to adapt their style to incorporate a new musician that is nothing like they've ever worked with. This is beyond impressive, this is a talented group of musicians showing just how talented they are, and I'm all for it!
The excitement in your eyes when the glass breaks after the intro got me there, brings me back when i first listened and discovered Megadeth holywars, the ferocity and the speed pushes you and holds you and your excitement until you release it with a positive expression.
thanks chase, your understanding of what it takes to play like this is why i watch you over some others "they make it look easy" but alot of work is invovled
I was bugging you to do more Lovebites back when you had your Discord with Tank. Glad to see you're finally getting back to them. As a bonus, this one is a little darker than most of their stuff, so it should be right up your alley!
Great reaction. The songs you've heard from them were from 2017 and 2018. Lovebites were great then, but they have improved drastically since. The sky is the limit for this band.
This track is a masterpiece and Chase's reaction is also a masterpiece!!! The only youtube reactor able to make a 24 minutes reaction video for a song just 6 minutes long!!! Chase: you're the best!!!
Thanks Chase. Another great reaction. I don't play any instruments, yet I am in awe of Midori and Miyako. Phenomenal musicians. And as I've said on other reactions, Fami brings more flexibility to their sound. This song is epic. Looking forward to more.

This is an overview of LOVEBITES 55 self-written songs and 3 covers (plus 6+1 covers by band members) with all of your reactions marked with a star (*). All these songs are great, they have no bad, weak or meh songs, and no fillers at all. Every song is special, you could randomly select a song, best life, of course, and LOVEBITES won't disappoint you. They play many different Heavy Metal styles with a certain LOVEBITES sound, they revive the masters of the 80's (and 90's) in a fresh and modern way. LOVEBITES may have the most talented musicians around, all of them S tier. Drummer Haruna is relentless like a metronome, both Miho and Fami master their bass (for Fami's capabilities, you should visit "Alien Alien" from my list, it's in her TH-cam channel will almost 700K subscribers), the dual guitars M&M (for Midori and Miyako) is most certainly the best duo for trading guitar solos and harmonizing, and Asami's voice is stellar with big range, powerful belt and good vibrato. She is also a trained ballerina with exceptional stage presence. One reactor caller her "Stage General", which is perfectly put. Hard, tight, fast, relentless, effortless and clean, that's LOVEBITES. Fasten your seat belt and enjoy your ride!
As a pianist with 10 years of experience, I really appreciate that you don't only emphasize the talent of the group, as many others do in reactions. without talent, this level of ability cannot be achieved. it's nice that you've mentioned the countless hours of practice, practice and practice that have led this ladys to get this perfection. Thank you very much for that. 🤘🤘
I just love these ladies, and it's really good to see you get back to some of their music....off the scale talent and dedication to craft, and there is so much more to explore! Cheers for a happy, healthy, and productive 2023!🤘
Waiting for Chase for 2 years to react to more Lovebites-too long dude. But, lets hope for more soon, especially live. Their live performances is where the real magic happens. Most songs they can do live as good as in recording, some of them even better. Thats why these girls are so special. ROCK ON!
Great reaction. LoveBites, my favorite band. This song became fast my favorite song by them. All their songs are great and some of them even amazing. Love that they show the new bass player, Fami, in this first song so clearly. For me Asami’s voice makes this band so unique. Without Asami it would not be LoveBites. Amazing guitar solos and as always amazing drumming. Got 3 of their concerts on Blu-ray and Haruna is a beast on drums. They all are great live. Love this band ❤. Thank you for this reaction.
Nice to see you again my friend, i always love to see your happy smiles when you enjoy good music. Love this band and i really love to see you (my most beloved reaction person on the planet) enjoying them too. Stay safe. Lots of love from the Czech republic ❤😊
@@ChrisPage68 Their live collaborations on "Farming Simulator" and "My Heart Will Go On" are highly enjoyable! (And also prove all those people wrong who sort of complain that Miyako never smiles.)
@@ChrisPage68 I know they were in the UK with Dragonforce (and I like the footage from that tour in the Golden Destination MV). Unfortunately, I only got into Lovebites at the start of 2021, so I kind of need them to come back...
Japan is the second largest music market in the world ($7 billion) vs USA ($8 billion). But when we take into account the population of Japan (126M) vs USA (332M), then Japan climbs to 1st place, with more than double the US music market.
was dying too see your reaction to this one :). Glad you did it. Your're an awesome reactor and I LOVE your videos. Thanks for all the work u put in to your videos. I hope you feel better and that you have an awesome 2023 brother!
Yes its a recording. But they already have proven, they can do it live too. For me it seems they are going a bit more agressive with the new bassist Fami (not a bad thing). Im glad they are back! Thanks Chase!
One of the first reaction videos I ever saw (or was it even the first one?) was a reaction to Lovebites (whom I already had been a fan of for 1 1/2 years by then) on your channel somewhere in spring 2020, so I'm happy to see you eventually got back to them and obviously didn't regret doing so! :) Based on this song, I expect the new album to become my favourite Lovebites album thus far, especially in the bass department. (No disrespect to Miho, without whom Lovebites would not exist!) Considering you've only reacted to one of their live performances so far, which wasn't even the best performance of "Break the Wall", I'm curious to see your reaction to any of the live clips which have already been recommended to you, especially since the live versions of their songs are usually better than the album versions. Since Lovebites have already announced two concerts in Tokyo in March, I expect at least one of them to be recorded and released on DVD/Blu-ray, thus everyone will get a chance to experience live versions of the new songs (and hopefully also "Dystopia Symphony" from last year's EP) as well.
Yeah......best Metal band today! And whats more impressive is watching LIVE videos. They do perform the studio recordings like it was nothing! NO........theyre even better live! See for yourself. Great review, Chase!
Hi, I'm new here👋 Got here dur to Just another reactor👍 I enjoy the way you dig to the music and break down the reaction. Lovebites allways grabs me and takes me on an amazing journey....🙏🙏🙏
Yay, that was so worth getting up early for (6am in Aust)! Thank you Chase, loved your detailed breakdown as always. Re Disney metal, I had to smile at that reference, check out Tommy Johansson's (Sabaton guitarist) solo project on YT, he's reinvented some existing well known metal songs by mashing them with Disney classics, with amazing results! btw, Lovebites *will* play this track live, and will knock it out of the park, as they have done for all of their "unplayable" MVs. Practice makes perfect. When you next get back to them, please check out a live performance from the 2020 or 2021 concerts, as per suggestions from your Community post. HADGD!
You're right about how an exceptional performance can both encourage and crush. I certainly recommend watching more Lovebites, I've enjoyed your breakdowns on them so far. PS Well done for picking up 'Just Another Reactor'. He's pretty a pretty cool guy.
At 15:20ish what I think is the soul of this genre is the thing you said. The mundaneness of life in factory work and a youth that had that to look forward too, are the simple need to unburden the mind, an outlet for the pain of mendacity. That is exactly why Japanese society embraces heavy metal.
"You know when you see something so good it equal parts motivates and crushes you" Yeah, that's how I felt when I first saw my wife. She instantly motivated me to be the best version of myself and it would have crushed me had she said no to me first asking her out on a date.
wow, not seen you for a long time and now back with maybe my fav band of the last years :) for your personal listening: Lovebites - Dystopia Symphony, are not very often reacted to Masterpiece with no video
thank you, chase. another great reaction/analysis. these ladies are so serious and unrelenting on their quest for pure oerfection. the new bassplayer fami already has enhanced their sound (five string and slapping intricaties. this is a asami compostion and totally awesome. I´m so looking forward to the new albums and miyakos contributions.
Chase! We are waiting! I keep checking your channel! I simply cant wait to see your reaction to The Summoning by Sleep Token! I mean, do Chokehold too, but i am dying to see what you think of The Summoning. 🤯
I remember back in I think late 2019 when you had something around 300 subs or so... I recommended Lovebites for you to listen. They didn't even have famous 2020 Zepp Divercity Concert out back then. You reacted to some songs from Daughters of the Dawn. It is about time to come back to my favorite band ;)
Chase, your Aladdin and Lovebites comparison is spot on, my man. If we were to take this back to the 80’s. Who in their right mind who have compared these 5 powerhouses very very talented tiny Japanese women dressed in white to Metallica and Megadeth. It wouldn’t make any sense, yet it makes all the sense in the world. I’m not sure why Lovebites isn’t the biggest band in the world, perhaps their time will come. I hope it comes very soon for them, as they are very deserving of it.
That’s what I was thinking. Yeah they’re amazing. There’s so much out there it’s becoming even harder to be seen, no matter how good you are. Market is very cluttered.
I've said it before, but isn't it almost like cheating somehow when a band has two guitarists as good as Miyako and Midori? LOVEBITES is top shelf all the way, though. Do I miss Miho? Yeah, but I've also been watching Fami on her channel for a few years now and I couldn't be happier to see her succeed here. I'm really hyped for their next album! Great reaction as always, Chase!
I just realized you have never heard of Lovebites songs especially with piano and acoustic guitar elements. Please add to the list: Frozen Serenade, Edge Of The World, Epilogue. Miyako also plays the piano, not only the guitar Anyway, it's a good reaction \m/
"just another reactor" is a nice and knowledgeable guy. A bit quiet and shy and do not make so much fuzz during the song. But, nevertheless, he is actually quite good. And I like him.
What's infuriating to me: 1) Lovebites is not better known globally and 2) ppl with limited minds comment such as "nothing special" when they see a Lovebites video. I'm no musician, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out these ladies are something special and there is no measuring stick for their talent; off the F charts. I love how they have brought back the various flavors of 80s metal, but the comparison to those bands have / should stop as they have surpassed them in every aspect...for me anyways. Great reaction. I'm glad you came back to the Goddesses in white. Love your analytics.🤘🐺

Stay safe. Stay Lovebites
so that "Disney Aladdin" you're hearing is the 90's rnb ballad influence from Asami. She comes from an rnb back ground and loves the classic divas like Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys and of course Whitney Houston. She even references a Whitney line in "Glory to the World". "Learning to love yourself, is the greatest love of all". But yeah their song "Under the Red Sky" also gives me those vibes too.
Why should one be offended at the comparison with Disney? It's not as if Disney soundtracks are not good music, written and arranged and played by the most professional musicians. Both power metal and Disney are fantasy-oriented, so it is natural that some melodic ideas overlap.
@@ChaseCarneson glad to see ya geeking out like that. Hopefully it'll draw you back to them a little more frequently. Great reaction as always man! Asami's vocals remind me of a female Bruce Dickinson, which I freaking LOVE. I'd say Lovebites is the first Metal Band since Nightwish that I full on was blown away by. The pandemic had one good effect. It brought Lovebites, Band-Maid and the Warning to my attention.
Happy New Year Chase! Have an incredible 2023! Lovebites have returned with a vengeance, for want of a better word. All of them are performing at a heightened level here, especially the new bass player Fami, who has laid down her marker here. This is just a taste of what is to come. 🙂
Hi Chase! Sleep token just put out two songs, so just short note do not listen the summoning It is extremely reaction worth and a lot of surprises along the way!
Since you mentioned "Its metal, its not Disney" .. this for sure is BOTH (and i love it) : Evolution of the Disney Princess - but she's METAL (by Scardust) th-cam.com/video/i7lS9VQ7840/w-d-xo.html
Though I have played many genres of music, you name it and I have probably covered it. That being said never have played in a metal band. Not really a fan. Not my jam! lol Which brings me to Lovebites which I consider one of the greatest bands in modern music history! Perhaps it is their classical backgrounds transitioning to rock , superb guitar work, arrangements that hold ones attention for 6 minutes or more, outstanding lyrics, great vocalist, etc etc. New bassist seems to open up for even more variety, Symphonic metal? They are a marketers dream! Any ideas why I am such a huge fan of a type of music that I never got into?
This is the song that simultaneously got me listening to metal and made it hard for me to listen to other metal bands, because it set the bar so high. Here's another reference to Aladdin: Siyeon of Dreamcatcher did a profoundly moving rendition of Speechless. The "simple" arrangement was better than the original.
CHASE!! There are new Sleep Token songs out which i'm sure you've seen pop up, if you haven't already heard them PLEASE check them out, especially The Summoning, i think it'll blow you away!
Just so you know, it was exactly one of your reactions that introduced me to Lovebites, they are now my favorite band of all time, so im eternally grateful.
Glad to see you reacting to this amazing band again.
Aaaah you love to hear it. This makes me really happy. Hope you enjoy this one!
Wow, that's so cool.
Chase, thanks for your insightful thoughts and analysis as a musician. I was never a fan of metal, but was first introduced to Metallica by Kirk Hammet's sister. What I discovered these past 4-5 months in my Lovebites journey has become a source of inspiration because of their relentless pursuit of excellence. They are nothing short of a transcendent band of committed musicians whose destines were aligned to inspire us beyond narrow tribal genres and categorizations. All I can say is THANK YOU LOVEBITES for being faithful to the calling ... and for sharing with us your musical gifts, your skills, and your dedication to perfecting your craft! May 2023 become The Year of the Lovebites Pandemic ... one that should to help heal our world musically and otherwise!
Two babies and a new bassist later...Lovebites are still beastly.
Having played guitar in my younger days, I could never get anywhere close to the technical mastery that Midori and Miyako posess. Absolute Phenoms.
Fami accentuates everyone in the group perfectly, and I suspect this will be a pivotal album for Lovebites and hopefully will see massive growth.
Props to the shout-out for Bobby (Just Another Reactor). He's a really great guy, and really deserves more love from the community.
Midori and miyako starts guitar at only near 20..and ofcoz with only piano backgrounds .incredible😁🔥🔥

Lovebites attracts greatness. Whether it be fans, musicians or reviewers. Thank you for your inciteful , intelligent reviews and honest reactions Chase.
I know you did very few lives of Lovebites when you checked them out but when you do, live is often preferred to studio. And they are as consistent live as on the album. And as synchronized, so you're in for a treat.
Sometimes it's easy to overlook some things in view of the sheer mastery of the guitarists, but listen to the drums. Her accents, the use of the bell...while still keeping this furious beat. This is not a band with two amazing guitarists and a band, it's a group of musicians on top of their game. And the bassists is only 20! Imagine her in 10 years...
I greatly enjoyed your reaction. Watching your eyes widen and the eyebrows getting higher and higher is a good indicator of what your thinking. And I always love it when reactors slump back in their chairs. Its as if they've succumbed to the brilliance of what they are seeing and hearing. I've seen it quite a lot amongst LOVEBITES reactions.
Oh I’m sure, they’re incredibly talented and it’s incredible to see. Really enjoyed this one and glad you did too
It's the look of sheer joy on your face that makes this reaction. I don't know how anyone could fail to be impressed with this song, at least among metal fans. It seems to have it all, including having a catchy as hell chorus. Let's hope they can manage a world tour with this upcoming album and really take off globally.
Need a world tour, without a doubt and big shop of merch. This is the best metal band ever now.
When I heard this song the first time I was absolutely stunned. I could not have described what's going on in this song, at least you found words for it and I've enjoyed every single moment of your video. Awesome reaction!
and then they played it LIVE ....
the new album will be a bang for sure, and live will be a killer
HOLY CRAP!!! I was sitting here picking random reaction videos to watch and I noticed one of my favorite reactors reacting to Judgement Day by Lovebites, so I click. Awesome reaction as always but then you gave my channel a shoutout at the end. I about fell out of my damn chair. 😄 I very much appreciate that Chase. I’ve been watching your reactions for a few years.
By the way, not too long ago I watched your reaction to Maximum The Hormone’s A.L.I.E.N. and really enjoyed it. I would highly recommend more MTH. I’d like to suggest “Let’s Talk About Menkata Cottelee”. A song that is all over the place but in an awesome way. Thanks again for the shoutout.
Aaaah dude that’s very kind of you. Happy to be able to connect and hopefully send some people and good vibes your way. Thank you for the kind words and hope all is well your side.
Hi Chase, on the offchance that you pick up this late comment, just thought I'd mention that Lovebites have a new live track called Hammer of Wrath on their official channel, recorded live in March this year. It's from the concert blu ray which will be released on 23rd August, and promises to be another Lovebites Masterclass.The song is an older one, and a favourite concert opener for its sheer exuberance and energy. What makes it extra special is this was new bassist Fami's first concert before a large audience. You'd forgive her for being a bit nervous, but she smashes it and never stops smiling, it's a great treat. Hope to see you catch up with these wonderful ladies again soon, your reactions to them are always eagerly awaited. Cheers from a sunny and warm Sydney (its supposed to be winter!)
Did you notice Fami's slap bass really come through in the second half of that long solo section? That is my favorite part in this great song. Just because it shows me she was the right pick for a replacement. Sounds so incredibly good to hear slap bass in metal. It is way too rare for my likings.
not sure who else noticed ... but that guitarist is ripped!
Chase, bro 😄 Happy and prosperous 2023 and welcome back to Lovebites! We, the wolfpack have been piling skeletons awaiting your "comeback" to Lovebites.
Glad you chose Lovebites 2.0 on steroids! Even though Miyako (V custom Dean) and Asami (Singer) got married and had children, they practices to be even better. Midori on the other hand became real shredded shredder doing some Fitness/Body building competitions. Haruna (drums), well her cymbal work is always exquisite. But what the biggest difference is - Fami on bass. I think her versatility and crazy mindbogglingly techniques (check her channel, has more subs than the band she's in) of finger picking, tapping and slapping brings this band to an even higher level. Like we thought they could go higher, but hey, it's Lovebites. Anything is possible. Thanks and cheers!
The guitars are just Lovebites being Lovebites, amazing as always. What I loved the most about this song is Fami, the new bassist. I was afraid that she'd just be the replacement, swap one bassist for another and move on, like so many bands did and are doing. But, thankfully, I was wrong. Fami here is being Fami, doing her own thing in her own style, but as part of a band that already had an established sound but did not hesitate (pun intended, for those who know) to adapt their style to incorporate a new musician that is nothing like they've ever worked with. This is beyond impressive, this is a talented group of musicians showing just how talented they are, and I'm all for it!
If you are not taken back in amazement by this song, there is no hope for you in the metal world. 😂
Haha I like that
The excitement in your eyes when the glass breaks after the intro got me there, brings me back when i first listened and discovered Megadeth holywars, the ferocity and the speed pushes you and holds you and your excitement until you release it with a positive expression.
thanks chase, your understanding of what it takes to play like this is why i watch you over some others "they make it look easy" but alot of work is invovled
thanks for being considered, just keep up being honest in your reactions
I was bugging you to do more Lovebites back when you had your Discord with Tank. Glad to see you're finally getting back to them. As a bonus, this one is a little darker than most of their stuff, so it should be right up your alley!
Great reaction. The songs you've heard from them were from 2017 and 2018. Lovebites were great then, but they have improved drastically since. The sky is the limit for this band.
This track is a masterpiece and Chase's reaction is also a masterpiece!!! The only youtube reactor able to make a 24 minutes reaction video for a song just 6 minutes long!!! Chase: you're the best!!!
Thanks Chase. Another great reaction. I don't play any instruments, yet I am in awe of Midori and Miyako. Phenomenal musicians. And as I've said on other reactions, Fami brings more flexibility to their sound. This song is epic. Looking forward to more.

This is an overview of LOVEBITES 55 self-written songs and 3 covers (plus 6+1 covers by band members) with all of your reactions marked with a star (*).
All these songs are great, they have no bad, weak or meh songs, and no fillers at all. Every song is special, you could randomly select a song, best life, of course, and LOVEBITES won't disappoint you. They play many different Heavy Metal styles with a certain LOVEBITES sound, they revive the masters of the 80's (and 90's) in a fresh and modern way. LOVEBITES may have the most talented musicians around, all of them S tier. Drummer Haruna is relentless like a metronome, both Miho and Fami master their bass (for Fami's capabilities, you should visit "Alien Alien" from my list, it's in her TH-cam channel will almost 700K subscribers), the dual guitars M&M (for Midori and Miyako) is most certainly the best duo for trading guitar solos and harmonizing, and Asami's voice is stellar with big range, powerful belt and good vibrato. She is also a trained ballerina with exceptional stage presence. One reactor caller her "Stage General", which is perfectly put. Hard, tight, fast, relentless, effortless and clean, that's LOVEBITES. Fasten your seat belt and enjoy your ride!
As a pianist with 10 years of experience, I really appreciate that you don't only emphasize the talent of the group, as many others do in reactions. without talent, this level of ability cannot be achieved. it's nice that you've mentioned the countless hours of practice, practice and practice that have led this ladys to get this perfection. Thank you very much for that. 🤘🤘
lolololol! That "metal bro" impersonation is too real.
Great reaction/review. I expected nothing less. high🫸🫷five
FAMI !!!! What a way to kick off a new gig (well and Stand and Deliver !) !!!!!
I just love these ladies, and it's really good to see you get back to some of their music....off the scale talent and dedication to craft, and there is so much more to explore! Cheers for a happy, healthy, and productive 2023!🤘
Waiting for Chase for 2 years to react to more Lovebites-too long dude. But, lets hope for more soon, especially live. Their live performances is where the real magic happens. Most songs they can do live as good as in recording, some of them even better. Thats why these girls are so special. ROCK ON!
Thanks for your wonderful insights!! It’s four in the morning but this has been a treat for an insomniac.
Great reaction. LoveBites, my favorite band. This song became fast my favorite song by them. All their songs are great and some of them even amazing. Love that they show the new bass player, Fami, in this first song so clearly. For me Asami’s voice makes this band so unique. Without Asami it would not be LoveBites. Amazing guitar solos and as always amazing drumming. Got 3 of their concerts on Blu-ray and Haruna is a beast on drums. They all are great live. Love this band ❤. Thank you for this reaction.
Nice to see you again my friend, i always love to see your happy smiles when you enjoy good music. Love this band and i really love to see you (my most beloved reaction person on the planet) enjoying them too. Stay safe. Lots of love from the Czech republic ❤😊
More new Lovebites out there from the upcoming album chase 2023 is already shaping up to be a classic enjoy the year 🎸🥁🎤🎹🔥🐺🎸🎹🎶🤘
Angels of Metal is a good description. I live in hope that one day they shine their light upon the UK and I can see them live.
They toured in 2019 with DragonForce.
@@ChrisPage68 Their live collaborations on "Farming Simulator" and "My Heart Will Go On" are highly enjoyable! (And also prove all those people wrong who sort of complain that Miyako never smiles.)
@@ChrisPage68 I know they were in the UK with Dragonforce (and I like the footage from that tour in the Golden Destination MV). Unfortunately, I only got into Lovebites at the start of 2021, so I kind of need them to come back...
Japan is the second largest music market in the world ($7 billion) vs USA ($8 billion).
But when we take into account the population of Japan (126M) vs USA (332M), then Japan climbs to 1st place, with more than double the US music market.
was dying too see your reaction to this one :). Glad you did it. Your're an awesome reactor and I LOVE your videos. Thanks for all the work u put in to your videos. I hope you feel better and that you have an awesome 2023 brother!
Yes its a recording. But they already have proven, they can do it live too. For me it seems they are going a bit more agressive with the new bassist Fami (not a bad thing). Im glad they are back! Thanks Chase!
One of the first reaction videos I ever saw (or was it even the first one?) was a reaction to Lovebites (whom I already had been a fan of for 1 1/2 years by then) on your channel somewhere in spring 2020, so I'm happy to see you eventually got back to them and obviously didn't regret doing so! :) Based on this song, I expect the new album to become my favourite Lovebites album thus far, especially in the bass department. (No disrespect to Miho, without whom Lovebites would not exist!) Considering you've only reacted to one of their live performances so far, which wasn't even the best performance of "Break the Wall", I'm curious to see your reaction to any of the live clips which have already been recommended to you, especially since the live versions of their songs are usually better than the album versions. Since Lovebites have already announced two concerts in Tokyo in March, I expect at least one of them to be recorded and released on DVD/Blu-ray, thus everyone will get a chance to experience live versions of the new songs (and hopefully also "Dystopia Symphony" from last year's EP) as well.
Yeah......best Metal band today! And whats more impressive is watching LIVE videos. They do perform the studio recordings like it was nothing! NO........theyre even better live! See for yourself. Great review, Chase!
Thank you very much!
Hi, I'm new here👋 Got here dur to Just another reactor👍 I enjoy the way you dig to the music and break down the reaction. Lovebites allways grabs me and takes me on an amazing journey....🙏🙏🙏
Enjoyed your reaction immensely.
Yay, that was so worth getting up early for (6am in Aust)! Thank you Chase, loved your detailed breakdown as always. Re Disney metal, I had to smile at that reference, check out Tommy Johansson's (Sabaton guitarist) solo project on YT, he's reinvented some existing well known metal songs by mashing them with Disney classics, with amazing results!
btw, Lovebites *will* play this track live, and will knock it out of the park, as they have done for all of their "unplayable" MVs. Practice makes perfect.
When you next get back to them, please check out a live performance from the 2020 or 2021 concerts, as per suggestions from your Community post.
HADGD!
You're right about how an exceptional performance can both encourage and crush. I certainly recommend watching more Lovebites, I've enjoyed your breakdowns on them so far.
PS Well done for picking up 'Just Another Reactor'. He's pretty a pretty cool guy.
12:20 *There is so much happening* !! 😂 And all of it is just so excellent! 😁 🤘
19:20 Exactly right, yes. 😁 🐺
At 15:20ish what I think is the soul of this genre is the thing you said. The mundaneness of life in factory work and a youth that had that to look forward too, are the simple need to unburden the mind, an outlet for the pain of mendacity. That is exactly why Japanese society embraces heavy metal.
"You know when you see something so good it equal parts motivates and crushes you"
Yeah, that's how I felt when I first saw my wife. She instantly motivated me to be the best version of myself and it would have crushed me had she said no to me first asking her out on a date.
Glad to see you coming back to Lovebites, they're one of my favorite bands at the moment and it's always great to see them getting appreciation!
Chase! New Sleep Token released! Let's gooo! Love you buddy!
Thanks for giving me something new to check out Chase^^
Totally agree with your reaction!
Get well soon. Someone mentioned, feel free to watch the bassist Fami, on your free time. She’s a new addition and a welcome one ❤
Great job Chase!. A very insightful analysis. Thank you!
It's been a while chase..welcome back to lovebites..🔥🤘🐺
wow, not seen you for a long time and now back with maybe my fav band of the last years :)
for your personal listening:
Lovebites - Dystopia Symphony, are not very often reacted to Masterpiece with no video
thank you, chase. another great reaction/analysis. these ladies are so serious and unrelenting on their quest for pure oerfection. the new bassplayer fami already has enhanced their sound (five string and slapping intricaties. this is a asami compostion and totally awesome. I´m so looking forward to the new albums and miyakos contributions.
I’m taking Sleep Tokens first release of the year as positive motivation to keep my own spirits up.
Let's goooo!
They are very very good!!! Get well soon:9
Chase! We are waiting! I keep checking your channel! I simply cant wait to see your reaction to The Summoning by Sleep Token! I mean, do Chokehold too, but i am dying to see what you think of The Summoning. 🤯
Thank you for the kindness. ST coming soon
Have a damn good year!
The torch has been passed. Long Live Heavy Metal 🤘🐺🤘
I remember back in I think late 2019 when you had something around 300 subs or so... I recommended Lovebites for you to listen. They didn't even have famous 2020 Zepp Divercity Concert out back then. You reacted to some songs from Daughters of the Dawn. It is about time to come back to my favorite band ;)
Great description: “ Equally motivates as destroys it “. They are phenomenal
Haruna the pint sized power house always keeps up such an insane pace.
Chase, your Aladdin and Lovebites comparison is spot on, my man. If we were to take this back to the 80’s. Who in their right mind who have compared these 5 powerhouses very very talented tiny Japanese women dressed in white to Metallica and Megadeth. It wouldn’t make any sense, yet it makes all the sense in the world.
I’m not sure why Lovebites isn’t the biggest band in the world, perhaps their time will come. I hope it comes very soon for them, as they are very deserving of it.
That’s what I was thinking. Yeah they’re amazing. There’s so much out there it’s becoming even harder to be seen, no matter how good you are. Market is very cluttered.
What do Lexus and Lovebites have in common?
A: The relentless pursuit of perfection.
That's a promising thumbnail! 😁😂
I've said it before, but isn't it almost like cheating somehow when a band has two guitarists as good as Miyako and Midori? LOVEBITES is top shelf all the way, though. Do I miss Miho? Yeah, but I've also been watching Fami on her channel for a few years now and I couldn't be happier to see her succeed here. I'm really hyped for their next album! Great reaction as always, Chase!
I just realized you have never heard of Lovebites songs especially with piano and acoustic guitar elements. Please add to the list: Frozen Serenade, Edge Of The World, Epilogue.
Miyako also plays the piano, not only the guitar
Anyway, it's a good reaction \m/
Hey Chase, Happy New Year.....love your insights & analysis, Rock On !! ❤️🎙🎸🎹🥁😎🤘
"just another reactor" is a nice and knowledgeable guy. A bit quiet and shy and do not make so much fuzz during the song. But, nevertheless, he is actually quite good. And I like him.
I hope Chase will dig it 🤘
Phenomenal piece of music.
What's infuriating to me: 1) Lovebites is not better known globally and 2) ppl with limited minds comment such as "nothing special" when they see a Lovebites video. I'm no musician, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out these ladies are something special and there is no measuring stick for their talent; off the F charts. I love how they have brought back the various flavors of 80s metal, but the comparison to those bands have / should stop as they have surpassed them in every aspect...for me anyways. Great reaction. I'm glad you came back to the Goddesses in white. Love your analytics.🤘🐺
This is epic resurection of Ladies with new bassist.

"WE ARE LOVEBITES AND WE PLAY HEAVYYYY METAAAAL!!!"
Stay safe. Stay Lovebites
so that "Disney Aladdin" you're hearing is the 90's rnb ballad influence from Asami. She comes from an rnb back ground and loves the classic divas like Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys and of course Whitney Houston. She even references a Whitney line in "Glory to the World". "Learning to love yourself, is the greatest love of all". But yeah their song "Under the Red Sky" also gives me those vibes too.
i can confirm that the album is a real banger and fast as a Shinkansen, a must buy for sure :D
Why should one be offended at the comparison with Disney? It's not as if Disney soundtracks are not good music, written and arranged and played by the most professional musicians. Both power metal and Disney are fantasy-oriented, so it is natural that some melodic ideas overlap.
Believe me there would be people offended if he likened them to Mozart.
@@alekhidell Such is the internet.
Already saw a comment of somewhat very dissatisfied with the disney comparison
@@nanoscorner6976 As was to be expected. They always come, like a reflex and without a moment's thought.
Hope you feel better soon, and have a damn good year! 💜
4 AM in the morning...
Damn, sorry about that. It'll be here when you're awake and ready. Get some sleep.
@@ChaseCarneson It's fine, cuz the usual poltergeist phenomenon starts from 2 AM till 3 AM so I can't sleep😎
YAY!!!!!
You’ve been more than patient enough my friend haha.
@@ChaseCarneson glad to see ya geeking out like that. Hopefully it'll draw you back to them a little more frequently. Great reaction as always man!
Asami's vocals remind me of a female Bruce Dickinson, which I freaking LOVE. I'd say Lovebites is the first Metal Band since Nightwish that I full on was blown away by.
The pandemic had one good effect. It brought Lovebites, Band-Maid and the Warning to my attention.
First time I heard this song I got some fantastic Nightwish vibes
Your expression through the reaction was proceless!
Want to react to a "special" song? : YOUSEI TEKOKU - Patriot Anthem
They are a Japanese Steampunk/Gothic Industrial Metal band, and they ROCK!
Not vibing with Asami's vocals? These people must be watched...constantly....
The new bass player is badass
Volcanic metal
Wow
Five beautiful ladies
"Metal Angels" I liked! 🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺
Happy New Year Chase! Have an incredible 2023! Lovebites have returned with a vengeance, for want of a better word. All of them are performing at a heightened level here, especially the new bass player Fami, who has laid down her marker here. This is just a taste of what is to come. 🙂
Uh this is gonna be good.
Hi Chase! Sleep token just put out two songs, so just short note do not listen the summoning It is extremely reaction worth and a lot of surprises along the way!
I think most Japanese musicians practice the "Suzuki method" 🤘LOVEbites🤘
Hard to believe that they got better
Excellent reaction and analysis. I've been sick for a week not. Sucks.
Since you mentioned "Its metal, its not Disney" .. this for sure is BOTH (and i love it) :
Evolution of the Disney Princess - but she's METAL (by Scardust)
th-cam.com/video/i7lS9VQ7840/w-d-xo.html
Though I have played many genres of music, you name it and I have probably covered it.
That being said never have played in a metal band. Not really a fan. Not my jam! lol
Which brings me to Lovebites which I consider one of the greatest bands in modern music history! Perhaps it is their classical backgrounds transitioning to rock , superb guitar work,
arrangements that hold ones attention for 6 minutes or more, outstanding lyrics, great vocalist, etc etc. New bassist seems to open up for even more variety, Symphonic metal?
They are a marketers dream! Any ideas why I am such a huge fan of a type of music that I never got into?
This is the song that simultaneously got me listening to metal and made it hard for me to listen to other metal bands, because it set the bar so high.
Here's another reference to Aladdin: Siyeon of Dreamcatcher did a profoundly moving rendition of Speechless. The "simple" arrangement was better than the original.
My 2nd fav band. Nemophila is 3rd.
Any guesses as to what point in the song elicited this face? I'll go with "that" note...
I reckon that's early on in the song, to be honest. We'll soon see, though!
I think the similarity to Ji In Cho's singing sound is interesting.
CHASE!! There are new Sleep Token songs out which i'm sure you've seen pop up, if you haven't already heard them PLEASE check them out, especially The Summoning, i think it'll blow you away!
