ANY song by LOVEBITES. don't stop now.
I think it's safe to say we're hooked. So good!
yeah
up up
@@ArsenicAndEspressoPodcast You need to stay hooked - you've just barely scratched the surface of a band that seriously CRUSHES everybody else out there.
Yes, more Lovebites. This is the first metal band in probably 35 yrs that I listen to virtually everyday. Live is better than studio. Try 'Thunder Vengeance' or 'Holy War' from "Five of a
Kind" DVD. Any song from this Feb 2020 concert is excellent. All songs are in English.
This is what your soul craves.
Check out their song holy wars live. Talk about impressed.
Every songs from their live concert called "Five Of A Kind" are not blocked and safe to react. They are better in live(but avoid bloodstock because bad audio)
Recommended songs: Holy War, Swan Song, Shadowmaker(from Five Of A Kind)
Old school thrash: Break The Wall, The Hammer Of Wrath, Thunder Vengeance
You will like it
Thaaaaank you! This is good info
Good call on bloodstock, avoid it pls bad audio mix
You guys are the real mvps
Like others have pointed out, all-female or mostly-female bands of various "rock" varieties are not a novelty in Japan, there have been hundreds of them over the years. Much of this , in the early days, was due to the Runaways touring Japan in the late 70's, which resulted in a sort of Beatlemania-type reaction. In their wake, many Japanese girls formed bands of their own, the first being "Girls", who were sort of a Japanese Runaways tribute band in a way, at least in their appearance and the fact that their first single was a cover of "Cherry Bomb" by the Runaways. Their other songs didn't sound like the Runaways, and they weren't really a great band or anything, but it was a starting point. Then punk happened in Japan just like it did in the West, and there were several all-female bands of the punk/new wave/post-punk/garage varieties. Shonen Knife are the most well known in the West, sort of a cute Ramones-inspired trio, but there were many others like the 5.6.7.8's, The Flamenco A-Go-Go, and Supersnazz. The first straight up all-female heavy metal band was Show-ya, whose guitar player Miki Igarashi aka "Sun-go" is considered the mother of female metal lead guitar players. They weren't always metal, but by the late 80s they pretty much were. Some of the bands who came along in the 90s/2000s were incredibly heavy and intense, as well as being technically gifted. Super Junky Monkey in particular caused a stir with their intricate genre mixing type of punk/metal/rap/funk/noise rock. They were often compared to Mr. Bungle and Rage Against The Machine. Bleach and Yellow Machinegun were both pretty brutal too. eX-Girl were wildy experimental and amazing. Late punk type bands were Gito Gito Hustler, Lolita No.18, lots more... there was (and still is) a record label called Benten founded by Audrey Kimura, that only features all-female bands on its label, and there are too many to list. I could go on and on naming great all-femal bands, but it would end up being a novel. Lovebites are the latest in what's described as a "boom", but it's not really a boom as it's been going on for almost 15 years ever since bands like Aldious and Destrose came along. In fact Lovebites and several other bands feature Destrose alumni. Most Japanese metal bands have a distinctly Japanese sound, but Lovebites are the exception as they make a point of playing 80s style European power metal and 80s style thrash, as well as singing exclusively in English, so they're quite unique among Japanese metal bands in that respect. Sorry for the long comment, I didn't plan it that way when my fingers started going.
FYI don't do this, you're guaranteed to be installing a virus ^^
In Japan most musicians come out of the music conservatory, you can sing any genre and that is reflected with the technique and quality of their work.
A Couple of things about LoveBites.
1. They sing in English. They only have one song (I think) that they sing in Japanese. But everything else is all in English.
2. They are heavily influenced by NWOBHM, Power Metal, and Thrash; with the bands being Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Dio, etc.
3. They focus on what you talked about before, which is breaking the stereotype that metal bands have to be hairy sweaty men, or dress like sleazy women. They want to prove that you can dress like beautiful women, love your Louis Vuitton purse, and still throw down as hard as Slayer. Case in point: They were all doing this, and do this live.. IN HEELS.
4. Speaking of live, when they play live, they will ALWAYS wear white. They do that on purpose: the tallest person in the band is Midori or Miyako (one of the guitarists), and they are around 5' 4" at the most! So imagine if they were in jeans or black, at a show, which you could barely see them. They wear white so they can stand out and be seen.
6. They were named best band y Metal Hammer. That's a big deal.
7. They are signed to Nuclear Blast Records, and are the only band from Japan signed to a western world label. Oh, and that label is the same one that Nightwish and Sabaton are on.
And all of that is just for starters. These ladies are the real deal. Thunder Vengeance from the Five of a Kind show should be your next video, followed by Holy War, then Hammer of Wrath. You won't be disappointed.
Everyone great is signed to nuclear blast! That's a big deal!
Don't forget the drummer is only 4'9"
About their heights. The tallest is guitarist Miyako, she is a little over 5' 2". Drummer Haruna is a little below 4' 9".
What a mind blowing reaction!! Finally you guys want reaction to Lovebites. Thank you so much.
Anyway i'm from Indonesia, but i'm falling in love and get bites from Lovebites.
They really the best heavy metal band right now.
They so pretty like princesses.
But the musicians is world class.
So genius and talented.
Hope you guys still want reaction again and again to Lovebites.
Next song, try from they live performance.
The song is "Holy war" from they live concert.
This is a link : th-cam.com/video/bgAxpEpEcno/w-d-xo.html
Hope you check out, and can enjoy it too. Big thanks🙏
And i'm sorry if my english language is bad. I'm still learning
They are incredible!!
Excellent reaction. I'm a huge fan of both Lovebites and Band Maid. One is power metal while the other is hard rock. But the songwriting abilities both exhibit are amazing. Band Maid never plays two verses exactly the same way. They change the phrasing to keep it more interesting. Fun fact: The drummers of the two bands are close friends. The list of all female Japanese metal/rock bands goes on and on, and you'll surely get many suggestions. But another one of my favorites is Aldious. They lean a little more to "thrash metal". Check them out if you get a chance. Loved the reaction! Subscribed and looking forward to more!
Ahhh that's a cool fun fact. And we definitely need some thrash metal.
I haven't heard all of the Band Maid songs yet. The heaviest song I've heard so far was the song Rinne.
Yes, "Rinne (Reincarnation)" is arguably the heaviest song they've released. Though for the benefit of reactors, Band Maid is really a live band and their live clips are much better, generally speaking. But "Rinne" is one case where the music video is better. The only live version of this song that exists on TH-cam was an abbreviated version for TV broadcast. Excellent suggestion for metal heads, Annette!
I did not know Haruna was friends with Akane. No wonder! But Lovebites are so much more than Power Metal. They Thrash harder than Metallica do these days.
@@ChrisPage68 You're absolutely right. The songs Miho writes are more thrash. I've read that she's a big Slayer fan, so that would explain it.They also do some hard rock, and even have some beautiful ballads. They just tend to be associated mostly with power metal, and they do it well. Asami: "WE ARE LOVEBITES... AND WE PLAY HEAVY METAL!!!" LOL
My legs hurt from listening to that drummer going non-stop lol
Lmao!
Haruna? She goes harder. And keep in mind that she's 4' 9"!
That is is little atomic drummer Haruna she is only 4'9"
@@ArsenicAndEspressoPodcast The Duracell Bunny is still in a psychiatric hospital, recovering from losing a drum battle with Haruna.
Asami is basically what would happen if Bruce Dickinson had hooked up with Lita Ford and produced a baby girl who likes cosplaying as Mariah Carey (with a better voice, obviously).
Midori (smiling guitarist) was a pharmacy student. She now dispenses face-melting riffs. Alongside Gary Moore-influenced Miyako, their harmonies bring to mind Glenn Tipton and KK Downing of Judas Priest in their heyday. Lastly, nailing the bottom end to the deck is Lovebites' boss-lady Miho - Iron Maiden's Steve Harris, but in a white dress. Do not challenge her to a beer-drinking contest. It will not end well for you! 😋
For ultra-heavy Lovebites (going all Slayer on your ass), go directly to "Thunder Vengeance live@ Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020". 🤘 🔥 ❤️
Lmao!
So much to say... but 1st of all, you were so right that there are tons of great Metal musicians, bands etc that we westerners didn't know about. My take is that western media and majors didn't even air them or distribute them outside of their country. Add to that a certain disdain for non-American or UK rock and metal bands, the exceptions always coming from white countries (Germany, Sweden, Norway etc), so we assume that Metal is just a white guys genre. It's not, and It never was.
IMHO Babymetal changed that narrative in 2014 when they played in the UK at the Sonisphere festival: they were totally unknown, unexpected, and the few who have heard of them mocked them as a joke. How could a japanese band, fronted by 3 teenage girls, ever be "Metal". But they killed it, and won a very hardcore, unforgiving British Metal audience (the "Iron Maiden fans" as described by Henri Rollins ;) - and the rest is history. Now western Metalheads are "discovering" all these asian bands who were just unavailable, and barely underrepresented on Internet until 2010-2012.
We can also blame their local management, who never believed that they could make it overseas. Thank Odin for the Internet!
🤘🏻🖤🤘🏻🖤 the internet is a wonderful thing!
@@ArsenicAndEspressoPodcast Indeed! Hey I just watched "The Crusade" MV by Lovebites after this video, and I forgot how incredibly good It was. Do yourself a favor, listen to this song, It's like rediscovering Maiden and Priest. As for other bands, you will be flooded by suggestions: Aldious, Brats, Bridear, Dollsbox etc etc the list is long and they're pretty good, but... Lovebites are the most talented as musicians, and authentically Metal, but (plot twist) MTH - or Maximum the Hormones - beat them all in terms of originality and just pure madness. Imagine young SOAD and RHCP going insane. It's not for everybody, tho...
@@KnightofGascogne love a Lovebites but cannot agree they stand above other bands from Japan. I would say they stand as equals but not superior. Example Saki is probably the best female guitarist from Japan and Fuki as the best singer. I am not dissing Lovebites, I love them and think they freaking rock.
@@tackle47 Saki is a truly Great Guitarist but she falls into the Western pattern of being sloppy at times, where other Japanese and Asian Guitarists are Methodical with their Precision (that's not to say without Feeling).
@@tackle47 Fuki doesn't regularly sing in English. Lovebites do because they want to pay homage to their heroes, and the birthplace of Metal. It also makes them more marketable.
I'm so glad you guys are doing this too. Ur channel ROCKS!!!!!!
😆🖤🤘🏻🖤🤘🏻 too kind!
Miho Miho Miho! one band that I haven't seen mentioned in the comment section (probably because it will not be quite to your tastes) is Wagakki band they tend to be more Rock than Metal but the thing is what makes them unique is they use Traditional (Japanese) as well as Modern Instruments. Worth at least a listen to you never know (They are a Mixed gender Band)
Some mixed gender bands, Taiwan metal band Chthonic with a female bassist, Babymetal opened for them way back when. Unlucky Morpheus, Japanese metal with an amazing female lead singer Fuki and Jill on violin (more metal bands need a violin). All female Japanese metal, Nemophila, check out their studio live Oiran, they have also done some great covers.
Chthonic lead singer not a female , don't getting wrong!
@@HeySlimeTH-cam You are right, Doris Yeh is the bassist and has been the band's spokesperson.
Thank you for posting it even though it was blocked in Japan. I have never heard this band and i just loved it. Keep on Rocking. 🤘😈🤘
Figured it was too good to post with out audio! Thank you for your imput!
Thunder Vengance Live Tokio you dont desspoiment promise
Japanese oldies listen to Beatles, rock and roll and jazz. their son and daughter were listening in the golden ages of pop punk rock metal experimental and their grand child now brings us the nowadays Japanese rock metal stuffs.
Check out "Thunder Vengeance Live". You will love it
Try a little Unleash the Archers a Canadian power metal Band, Britney Slays will blow you away. Start with "Awakening "
Lovebites rips out beats, harmonies, melodies and rhythms harder than 90% of bands that have ever existed. Plain and simple. They're so good and so heavy.
Nice reaction guys first you just sow the winners of the 2018 year in category for best new metal band. Lovebites are formed in Tokyo from ex Destrose band members Miho the bassist and composer and Haruna the drummer in 2016. The other members are Asami the vocalist and songwriter, Midori the lead guitarist and backing vocals (the first solo, the smile lady) and Miyako the second lead guitarist and pianist and composer. Lovebites are influenced by 80s metal, Miho the bassist she wants some day to become that good like a Stive Harris the Iron Maiden bassist. Their last album Electric pentagram is nominated for one of the best 20 metal albums for 2020 year. Also they always playing on high heels. Can you tell me how many bands you know to play on the stage on high heels. I can recommend some songs from their last concert Five of kind in Zepp Diversity Tokyo from this year like Thunder vengeance, Holly war, Rise some hell, Dancing with the devil, Swan song, even Shadowmaker have to see live again, Edge of the world, Break the wall, Hammer of wrath, We the United. And not in the last place the song Epilogue from their previous concert Daughters of the down from 2019. And guys next time when they start touring again and come near to your home don't miss them just take the tickets and go. I know by my self I sow them twice in UK and Wacken Germany in 2018 and 2019 year. They are the best all female power metal band in the world at the moment. And they are better on the stage. Enjoy it. Hope my information is helpful for you. Stay metal.
Fact is that western world were not very opened to eastern culture. It slowly changed with the introduction of animes during the 80' but even with that, they often changed the openings.
On the other side, eastern world were always very opened to western musics and metals bands made Japan tours.
The problem is that before internet, western medias imposed what they thought as good or commercial songs. Now, with internet, we can at last discover by ourselves many new, great or different, bands and artists from all the world. We can escape the influence of the western medias.
Sry for my english.
Great reaction!! (now subbed) Really enjoyed this reaction to my favorite band!! The smiles on both your faces when the main riff started was priceless!! Lovebites are bringing back the 80's metal scene but in there own unique way!! Is it a trap? Yes!! you've been bitten by Lovebites!!
Once you go down the rabbit hole of not just Lovebites but Japanese Metal/Hard Rock in general!! That's all you'll be listening to for months if not years!! The Lovebites community are awesome people too and will hook you up with some other great songs from Lovebites, Studio and Live versions! Just steer clear of the Bloodstock Live songs, Sound quality is poor on those ones.
Can't wait for your next reaction to Lovebites!! Lovebites Forever!!
Japan has so many good metal and rock bands, and so many different styles within those genres. Some really good bands are Dir En Grey, The Gazette, and Maximum The Hormone. Deviloof is also a brutal band.
Another great video!
Another great reaction to a great band. I will repost a list of bands, each of which are freaking great out of Japan
J-Metal and J-Rock is full and I mean FULL of great bands many of which are all female including:
Band Maid, hard rock see them live, Domination
Mary’s Blood, metal Marionette live, my favorite of the metal bands, incredible shredder
Nemophilia, Metal Oiran mv
Bridear Metal Light in the Dark mv
Lovebites Metal When Destines Align mv
Fates Gear, Metal Headless Goddess mv
Female fronted bands
Babymetal, Metal biggest of them all and really opened the door to Japanese metal for many, Megitsune mv or Road of Resistance live, a band that is great live
Unlucky Morpheus Metal, Black Pentagram mv
Iron Bunny Metal, 23 mv
Male fronted bands
Maximum the Hormone, genre who the fuck knows, Yoshu Fokushu mv
Crystal Lake, Metal AEON, mv
Dir En Grey, Metal Vinushka mv
Hell I feel bad leaving so many other bands off here.
Great reaction guys! You're gonna love checking out the rest of their stuff. I recommend any of their live performances from their "Five of a kind" tour at Depp Dive City Tokyo. PLEASE AVOID PERFORMANCES FROM BLOODSTOCK. The ladies performed great as they always do but the sound quality isn't good. Looking forward to seeing more!
Japan has had an active all-girl metal scene since at least 1981.
This is a starter list of all-female or (in two cases, mixed, female-led) metal, punk and hard-rock bands. It's mostly alphabetical, except for the first three, which are at the top of the list for historical reasons. They set the table for the explosion of Japanese female hard-rock, punk and metal bands.
Show-Ya (the original female J-metal band, founded in 1981, before Metallica. This is from their 30th (!) anniversary concert-and they are still touring): th-cam.com/video/oJ_5Gv3vFjQ/w-d-xo.html

Destrose (This band was never stable, but has become almost mythic in Japanese metal history, because so many great bands spun out of Destrose, including Lovebites--you will recognize the drummer and bassist): th-cam.com/video/7o7fktsBwQg/w-d-xo.html
Aldious (Glamorous and kick-ass rockers-one of the first generation all-girl metal bands, along with Destrose) th-cam.com/video/sfkJT0rra-8/w-d-xo.html
Asterism (not all female, but will melt your face off- the guitarist Haruka Noma is off the charts talented and still a teen-ager) th-cam.com/video/IfxMi0Bx4x0/w-d-xo.html
Band-Maid (you did them) OK, there are 90+ great songs by them. Here is a live clip: th-cam.com/video/FHpuEqMAcDg/w-d-xo.html
Bridear (Heavy, technical-and the tiny bassist also growls): th-cam.com/video/LQIDqudG_DQ/w-d-xo.html
Disqualia (Destrose spin-out, featuring Narumi, one of the best guitarists of this generation) th-cam.com/video/-M5zBKrTJRg/w-d-xo.html
Doll$Boxx (insane mix of metal, electropop, and god-knows what else; a collaboration between Fuki and Gacharic Spin ) th-cam.com/video/mu2z4Uf9Tgc/w-d-xo.html
existTtrace (one of the earliest, progressive, technical, some death-metal and goth touches) th-cam.com/video/Oz1Lv8XGBF0/w-d-xo.html
Fate Gear (super-group, one of the Destrose spinouts-this single video is one of the best in this list): th-cam.com/video/tLQbsoKQN-0/w-d-xo.html
Gacharic Spin (founded in 2009 by a group of high-school friends; very technical, cover a range from punk-pop to heavy metal and progressive) Here is their first video, with original singer Armmy (d. 2015):

Ganglion (Metal with a hint of electronica)
th-cam.com/video/q9j4t3Ms-Sg/w-d-xo.html
Lovebites (most recent track, even better than Shadowmaker IMO): th-cam.com/video/hLFelI93VkM/w-d-xo.html
Mary's Blood (The first major Destrose Spin-out: Saki murders her guitar without breaking any nails): th-cam.com/video/MLM2unV0kwU/w-d-xo.html

Rie aka Suzaku (instrumental guitar) th-cam.com/video/m6Z2GD5SqNs/w-d-xo.html
Tricot (Post-progressive math-rock, very technical, crazy time signatures and polyrhythms) th-cam.com/video/P_B_GalsJrE/w-d-xo.html
Sonic Lover Reckless (Special project of Miyako Watanabe, one of the two insane Lovebites guitarists): th-cam.com/video/DXZ-qhxd1VI/w-d-xo.html
Unlucky Morpheus (Female lead (Fuki) and violin (Jill). This band is a deep well unto itself, they cross many subgenres of metal; Fuki and Jill also do other projects and Fuki is lead for at least two other bands including Doll$Boxx, above): th-cam.com/video/V8i_QhOgsKw/w-d-xo.html
Wagakki Band (Folk-Metal fusion band, all jedi-level musicians, half of them play traditional Japanese instruments and the other half play standard metal instruments) This song was originally written for a virtual (AI) singer, referred to as a Vocaloid:

i'm with you. those women are awesome! looking forward to more lovebites. 'when destinies align' MV is a great followup. 🤘🐺🖤
Thank you!! Great reaction! You are honestly blown away and excited. 😊
Concerning Lovebites: Jaw-dropping. Musicianship. Joy. Excellence. I just discover them, and I am "speechless".
Continue relishing music! 😊
HEEEY GUYS, nice reaction as always, im glad that your are in in this amazing journey of heavy japanese music, from LOVEBITES, i would recommend: Thunder Vengeance (LIVE) and Swan Song (LIVE), also, another interesting japanese metal female band could be PASSCODE, specifically the song: "Taking you out", thank you guys!
Please react [Dancing With The Devil | Zepp DiverCity Tokyo
] ,[LIAR (Live Studio)] and [We the united (Live Party Stream/World Premiere/Five Of A Kind)].
Wow!!! Thank you for react Lovebites!
Fantastic Power/Trash Metal band!
Check them live in Tokyo 2020!!!
See you next!!!
i am from japan and watched the entire video
That is great to hear! So glad you could watch it!!
Pls react to When destinies align by Lovebites next🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Crossfaith a Japanese heavy metal band from Osaka that was formed in 2006. hey are characterized by performing a style of metalcore with dubstep and other forms of electronic music influences, and for their intense live performances. Crossfaith - 'Leviathan' (Live at BLARE FEST. 2020) th-cam.com/video/zK3tjL0Q_FI/w-d-xo.html Founded in 2012 by Serbian singer/pianist Jelena Dobric and lead guitarist Melik Melek Khelifa , and joined shortly thereafter by the guitarist Yosri Ouada, Persona quickly established themselves with the release of Elusive Reflections (2016) and Metamorphosis (2017). With an exotic and graceful atmosphere flowing through their modern metal sound, yet unafraid to flex some more extreme muscles when needed, Persona will not be held captive by the usual conventions of the female-fronted metal genre. Relocating to Germany in 2019 and solidifying a new line-up with Eike Nehen on the bass and Simon Schröder filling out the rhythm section, Persona have begun work on their third full-length, which will showcase the next step in the band’s impressive evolution. PERSONA - Alpha th-cam.com/video/U1G6q0-Apc0/w-d-xo.html
Yeah.....awe-mazing! So fast, so tight, so well structured and executed. Wow!
My most favorite part of this song is that high note. It just melts into that guitar line that its like, is that her???? Or a note???? Lol. When she does that, I get the goosebumps
Also dueling solos yus
@Aratha Sena it was a generalization of what she can do
Lovebites "burden of time" new live studio video. Miyako plays guitar and keyboard at the same time!
Please react to lovebites《swan song》live
Please check out "Marionette" by Mary's Blood. They're a 4-piece all-female Japanese band.
Yes ! Lovebites ! Keep doing more band shit reaction
Great reaction to a great band! If you want another recommendation try The Warning. They are an all female heavy rock trio of sisters from Mexico. They aren't as metal as Lovebites but are just as talented. Their album Queen of the Murder Scene might just suit your tastes. The themes of the album are unrequited love, obsession, psychosis and ultimately murder. Sounds dark I know, but its delivered with such passion and talent I think you might like it. The girls are aged 20, 18 and 15 and are showing how female rock can be inspiring just like Lovebites, Band Maid and Babymetal.
Welcome to the world of Lovebites. To me a total addiction for months and almost the only I thing I play. Fortunately there are plenty of songs to listen to...and nothing bad. My favourites are their thrash songs. Even Slayer should be proud of those girls
You have to see all of their live concert vids damn these ladies kick major ass
Fun fact of LOVEBITES is Miyako (the twin guitarist with the long black hair) is also a classic pianist and highly skilled. I seen some articles that she creates some of the materials we get to hear and witness. My greatest takeaway is the level of daring these girls are proving they are virtuoso to their craft where certain elements you can hear the symphony play the lyrics like an argument going into a small battle before we get the rifts solos and bridges etc these ladies produce. I'm a fan of LOVEBITES where my partner genuinely loves them the same as I do. I loved this reaction overall and looking forward to more of your guys reaction!
Great reaction!! These ladies are world class musicians. You should check them out Live, it so good. Some suggestions:
Break the Wall, Thunder Vengeance, Holy War, Scream for Me, Hammer of Wrath, all Live.
or Swan Song, Edge of the World, Empty Daydream, Epilogue (amazing ballads)
.
Hope you enjoy!
Here's a few good options for the next step in your Lovebites journey, although there are no bad steps.
Very 80s, Iron Maiden on steroids-The Crusade th-cam.com/video/ueKyQ4xI-mY/w-d-xo.html
They really bring the heavy in Thunder Vengance th-cam.com/video/yWE7PqCpGi4/w-d-xo.html
And my personal favorite Lovebites song. It's epic as Hell- Under the Red Sky th-cam.com/video/KChT0QfuhKE/w-d-xo.html
I think Lovebites are the best metal band right now. They are obviously great musicians but they are also great songwriters and lyricists. There are so many different levels to their sound. If you go down the rabbit hole and listen to more of their music, besides power metal, you will hear traditional 80s style metal as well as thrash. They all impress the hell out of me with their talent but the one who impresses me the most is Haruna, the drummer. She is a 4'9" giant behind the kit. The tempo she carries throughout most of their songs is mind-blowing. I have all their albums and I have yet to hear a song that I don't like. If you decide to react to any more of their songs, any song you pick is a winner. The one I recommend the most is Break The Wall (live). You will hear the thrash side of Lovebites.
Please react to their live videos, they sound better live, very talented band
You have to see them live!! Check out Thunder Vengeance, Holy War, Break the Wall from their live DVD Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020. These 3 songs are a must!!
So you’ve been Lovebitten, as expected.
Lovebites is (mostly) a power metal band but they have influences from Metallica, Iron Maiden, Helloween, Slayer, Dragon Force, Gary Moore, Whitesnake, etc., and they’re developing their own style. I recommend their live performances; they really shine live, especially their latest concert earlier this year “Zepp Divercity, Tokyo 2020”. Other recommended live performances are “Daughters of the dawn”, “Battle in the east”, “Wacken”. Avoid “Bloodstuck” (bad audio).
My song suggestions: “When destinies align”, “Hammer of wrath”, “Shadowmaker” (live), Holy war”, “Break the wall”, “Rising”, “Signs of deliverance”, “Swan song” (with classical piano), “Scream for me”, “Raise some hell”, “Under the red sky”, and a special mention to “Thunder vengeance” (mind blowing), “Dancing with the devil” (classic rock and bluesy vocals), “Empty daydream” (nice piano and vocals with catchy mid tempo), “Epilogue” (epic power ballad, great vocals, nice piano, scorching old school guitar solos) and “Edge of the world” (epic power ballad, nice vocals, nice guitar solos and song build up)
Some other Japanese all-female rock bands are: Aldious, Mary’s blood, Bridear, Scandal, Hagane, Nemophila, Fate Gear, Show Ya, etc.
Japanese bands with women in an important role: Asterism, D_Drive, Unlucky Morpheous, Iron bunny, Mardelas, etc.
Other good Japanese bands: Galneryus, Jupiter, Versailles, Maximum the hormone, Ningen Isu, X-Japan, etc.
Japanese band, most of the time overlooked,
Onmyouza - Rasetsu
These guys are around since 1998
Great reaction!!! Next recommend!!!

Lovebites just released "eagle fly free" a Helloween cover. You should really check it out!!!🤘🤘🤘
Lovebites are amazing. I saw them live in Osaka, Japan last year. One if the best live concerts I have ever been to. They were incredible.
Please check out Lovebites live in Tokyo doing "raise some hell"
Female-Fronted Japanese band:
DAZZLE VISION - Second - th-cam.com/video/cVG_bBJU94A/w-d-xo.html
Definitely try another great Japanese band called Aldious. Try their song "We Are"
You should see the entire concert live.. awesome.
Best metal band in the world right now!.......period! Male or female
Bit disappointed you watched a music dvd rather than watching them live, that will really blow you're minds!!
Please check out their live performance from Tokyo
1 Daughters of the Dawn
2 Holy War
3 Crusade
We need more Lovebites reaction of you both
I agree with everything said so far... most things live have good sound quality. If you like classic Iron Maiden...
"The Crusade" is Lovebites' homage to them and is awesome. Shred-tastic. Really happy that ya"ll like them.
They are amazing! You have to listen to their two most recent releases: Burden of Time and When Destinies Align
After hearing you describe the music mixed with beautiful ladies is exactly what makes Aldious so spectacularly rad! Please you have to do this for Aldious,the song ”We Are” they’ll blow your mind!
Best and most talented band on the planet right now (male/female or other) ............Period!!!
Helo this band is beautiful
27 years listen the best bands off Power metal of all the world starting with my favorite band and the fathers of power metal Helloween...
And then this band blows my mind...
So many songs for you to listen lovebites
Holy war
Glory to the world
Swan song
Braveharted
We the united
Ride under red sky
And so many others
Pic one and you see then quality of this band..
This is what i imagine the Vikings ear before going to battle from the Valkyrie singing.
That wasn't one guitar solo, that was two alternating. They have two lead guitarists.
Any song from their "Five of a kind" live 2020 really good. Sound quality is really good as well.
Nice reactions and awesome...Welcome to the DAUGHTERS OF THE DAWN...You should try their live videos from 2020 at ZEPP...
If you're enjoying the power metal vibe, I'd recommend checking out the live version of their song Holy War next. You won't be disappointed.
Work your way through their live performances labelled 'live at zepp divercity tokyo 2020'.
Best metal band out there.
Here's guitarist Midori explaining her hardware setup: th-cam.com/video/Xp9HAVSsJRs/w-d-xo.html
You must wacth the lovebites live
Haruna makatata! Oh Miyako so sexy on her guitar 💗 Next stop: Aldious - We are, and Bridear - Light in the Dark.
@Aratha Sena A man of culture as well :D
"When destinies align" is a must listen. Scorcher!
You HAVE to watch their live gig from Tokyo 2020, song "Holy War"... and have the lyrics ready... it's mind blowing :o
To start holy war live then thundervengance
also check out Unlucky Morpheus - Angreifer (live)
Like your honest positive reaction....
The girls...they are music goddesses.
Swan Song live ...Insane talent. Lovebites did Wacken festival too in europe killed it.
Check out Unlucky Morpheus-Black Pentagram (live). This ia another amazing japanese heavy metal band
Forgot to mention you should react to Swan Song. The piano ending will blow your mind!
Thank you for the lovebites reaction. Also check out Japanese Metalcore.

I'll get my mug some time between tomorrow and Monday
If I'm not mistaken in Japan the color used to represent death is white, instead of black. I'm not a specialist but maybe it has to do with why they are wearing white? Can anyone deny or confirm this?
www.color-meanings.com/color-meanings-japan/
"White on the other hand is a popular color in cars in Japan but it inherently denotes death and mourning too."
You are right,the white is a mourful colour in Japan.and because of that Japanese tourists are shocked seeing that in Europe wimen wears white in their wedding days
If you like the power metal vibe, might I suggest Babymetal's song Road of Resistance - Official Live In Japan. It is super power metal and was co-written by the two guitarists from Dragonforce. It's a great song to discover Babymetal. You can see just how EPIC their live shows are, which is what they are known for. Lovebites rocks like Gibraltar as well!
Just watched your Nightwish - Noise reaction and lyric breakdown, heard you're not the biggest fan of live videos. This is an exception, the audio is pristine and so is the video quality. You will not be disappointed, I promise :)
Herenis a nugget that may give you a different take on thr video. The outfits represent more than casual tea party reference. In japan, white is associated with death similar to the west's association of black to it.
AND..........they can replicate this live !!!
That was a first-class reaction video. Thank you very much. You both are as good as a reactor couple like Lovebites as a metal band. For that there is full score from Germany.
Here is a recommendation for a young metal band (with a female singer at its finest) from Germany:

Don't know how Josh stands on it, but I'm sure Alice will like it very much ...
🤘🏻🖤🤘🏻🖤
I love the way the guy says "good" and the girl says "mindblowing" For me, there is a vast difference between "good" and "mindblowing". I'm with "mindblowing"
Lovebites music influenced and inspired by 80' metal band Iron Maiden, Slayer, Helloween, Motley Crue. All their songs in English version. If you like screaming voice, you should check out to Nemophila.
Another super Japanese band Versailles Philharmonic quintet (they look like anime characters) song "Aristocrat's symphony live Nippon Budokan"
Nice reaction coffee lovers! I tried so hard with this band but I don't like the singing :/ The musicians are amazing, especially Miyako (the dark haired guitarist, who is also classical trained pianist!).
Some suggestions for you:
1/ Doll$boxx "Shout Down" or "Dragonet"
2/ Light Bringer "Resistance" or "Noah"
3/ Unlucky Morpheus "Black Pentagram" or "CADAVER/REVADAC" (these 3 bands have the same singer!!)
4/ Sokoninaru "Tenohira De Odoru" or "METALIN"
5/ Maximum The Hormone "Yoshu Fukushu"
6/ Mary's Blood "Marionette"
7/ Aldious "We Are" or "SWEET TEMPTATION"
8/ BAND-MAID ---> any song, they're all 👌🏻
Cheers
For another Japanese all female metal band, try MARY'S BLOOD. They're even heavier than LOVE BITES, and their vocalist is easier to understand. The Love Bites vocalist unfortunately suffers from a thick Japanese accent. You can tell it by how she uses her mouth to sing. It's too contracted. And the words come out less enunciated than they otherwise would be if she'd just open her mouth more.
Now then, for a non-Japanese all female metal band, check out the Swiss metal called BURNING WITCHES. They are like a modern day mesh of Mötley Crüe and Judas Priest. So yes, they're like a post-Painkiller Priest with a bit of early Mötley Crüe thrown in. Their best hit so far is "Hexenhammer." It's a 6:42 heavy rocker about burning Witches at the stake.
raise some hell🤘
Nice react💐
Please come back to Lovebites in the near future .They are one of the best heavy metal bands around. Please try Raise some hell, which is good live.
If you guys want to hear a extreme heavy japanese girls band you should try Broken by the Scream
Intrigued for sure
@@ArsenicAndEspressoPodcast they have cute girls doing guturals, its really unique
They are not a band
An idol group
You don't have to mention they are female, they are simply the best. Don't miss the bassist, she plays riff with those insanely quick guitars and sounds clean. She is super. Oh, and that pocket dynamo on drums. Try live next, they keep that energy for 2 hours from the beginning to the end, and amazingly they are better live than studio recording. Have a good one!
2 facts about Lovebites-
They didn’t invent Heavy Metal, they just perfected it🤘
Your mind won’t believe what your eyes are seeing 😯
A word about the Bloodstock show, the audio may not be the best, but you can tell by their energy that they were there to prove that they play better than anyone else !!!
Wolfpack Forever

My introduction song to Lovebites. When I heard the intro it was instant love, and that solo between Miyako and Midori is delicious. It's funny when you see someone who's introduced to Band Maid gets directed to Lovebites afterwards. Both bands are absolutely amazing and get better as time goes on and definitely worth keeping an eye on. If you love the sound of Lovebites keep with them. Their latest album Electric Pentagram was amazing. Japan is in no short supply of amazing artists especially female groups. If you like metal than I'd definately recommend Unlucky Morpheus. Their vocalist is absolutely amazing with her voice. All 3 bands are also amazing live if you can find live footage
Please please again, lovebites Holy War live diver city...
