Congratulations on finding the best new metal band to come along in decades. In their five years of existence as a band, they set a standard that easily puts them on a par with the greatest bands of metal’s golden age. Their founder and bassist announced her departure on Aug 17, 2021, so we can only hope they find a way forward. Meanwhile, we console ourselves with their astonishing catalogue of work. Other reviewers have described them as alien superheroes disguised as young women, angels sent to save us, princesses of metal, and angry bridesmaids. Whatever the description, I think one can say they have given metal a badly needed makeover and maybe a new lease on life. They have themselves said that part of their mission is to save heavy metal from darkness and obscurity. Some background: They were formed in 2016 from the remnants of a legendary all-girl Japanese metal band called Destrose (yes, all-girl metal has been a thing in Japan since at least 1981). Miho (bass, chief headbanger and soul of the band) had a vision of a new band in the style of the greatest European bands of the golden age of metal. She recruited her former bandmate Haruna (drums, 4'9" “pocket nuclear reactor”); they needed two world-class guitarists, and so they went and found Midori and Miyako, who were with other bands. The whole group then found Asami, the singer, who was doing soul and blues at the time (she also trained in ballet). Miho and Miyako have composed most of their music, in collaboration with Mao, the lead composer of another band called Lightbringer, but Midori has also been getting into the act. Asami writes a lot of the lyrics. They studied all the great historical metal bands going back to Purple and Sabbath, through Maiden, Priest, Metallica, Helloween, Slayer etc. and aced it all. They toured with Dragonforce in 2019, and word from those in attendance is that next time around, it will be the ladies headlining. They have incorporated some of the best of each of those bands into their arsenal, and at this point they’ve taken it to another level. This is one of their usual first songs for reactors, and rightly so--you get a good sense of the band. They do everything from soulful power ballads to heavy thrash, and almost every song includes face-melting solos by Miyako and Midori. The two guitarists are quite different in style and tone. Midori (blonde ponytail) is the extrovert and speed demon; Miyako is the introvert, with the more soulful feel. Midori uses a cleaner tone, Miyako uses more distortion, pinch harmonics and pedal effects. The contrast makes their duets rich and dynamic. As another reviewer said, "It seems criminal these two are allowed to be in the same band." Either one can smoke most of the shredders in the classic metal bands. Miyako is also a professional-level classical concert pianist, and was headed for a career in classical music, before picking up the guitar. If you want to see what she can do on the piano, watch “Swan Song” WITH the prelude, which is Chopin’s “Revolutionary Etude”. Miyako wrote “Swan Song” using elements from several classical pieces including the Etude. This link should work: th-cam.com/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/w-d-xo.html; but if it is taken down, you can watch two clips back to back: th-cam.com/video/hDBjiQI9cyc/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/uEsEWISc8Q0/w-d-xo.html I promise, it’s worth it. They are generally best live. You should next check out their most recently posted live clip, “Set the World on Fire” th-cam.com/video/99zsH6iG_6c/w-d-xo.html. Other live songs to check out are "Edge of the World" and "We the United", back to back: th-cam.com/video/sl0-U-ykJCU/w-d-xo.html They form an incredible journey from darkness and despair to light and hope. Also, “Empty Daydream”, which starts as a ballad and becomes a real rocker: th-cam.com/video/lXh_uMM94jU/w-d-xo.html. For a thrasher with heavy Metallica vibes, “Break the Wall” th-cam.com/video/G021aP2ao6Y/w-d-xo.html includes two gorgeous and completely contrasting solos by M&M. For a heart-stopping ballad, “Epilogue” th-cam.com/video/1ynnXDfEnnY/w-d-xo.html (this includes a second song, your choice whether or not to react to both) Finally, while it’s generally true their live clips are best, their MV’s are epic and worth seeing: "When Destinies Align" th-cam.com/video/hLFelI93VkM/w-d-xo.html "Glory to the World" th-cam.com/video/-wJtD2XEXH4/w-d-xo.html "Winds of Transylvania" th-cam.com/video/HsE4Ub_Pjh8/w-d-xo.html. You'll get lots of suggestions, just one thing: don't bother with Bloodstock footage, the sound quality is poor. Best to take suggestions with actual links. Also, you can’t go wrong with any of their official clips. Welcome to the Wolf-Pack!
Give your brain time to process what you've just heard. You just witnessed a phenomena. Their songs are "Information Overload" so it will take time to realize what you just heard. Listening one time is not enough. Incredible!
They also play nice ballads. A beautiful ballad Epilogue live Daughters of Dawn 2019, ballad/rock with a magnificent piano intro Empty Daydream live Daughters of Dawn 2019, and Edge of the World live at Zepp Diver City 2020. Enjoy!!
As a guitarist it is interesting to note that both guitarists started to learn to play relatively late. Midori (blond playing the ESP) dropped out of university at the age of twenty where she was studying pharmacy to attendone of the premier music colleges in Osaka where she studied guitar. Miyako (black hair playing the Dean) is primarily a concert level classical pianist who picked up a guitar at eighteen and taught herself to play. Both of them played in metal core bands before joining Lovebites. They are both insanely talented muscians at the top of their game. I suggest you react to Lovebites 'Epilogue', 'Edge of the World' and 'Empty Daydream' to hear another side of the band.
Seen them live in Edinburgh and Newcastle when they done a UK tour with Dragon Force it was great infact i am still on medication also i believe the drums and guitars have to be sent for therapy after each gig.
Welcome to the best band in metal. This is not even a top ten choice for many fans of the band, but is great at giving a reactor maximum impact. There is an ENORMOUS range of tracks available to watch and listen to. You may well be surprised. Great reaction.
Are you sure? Why is there a microphone on the both of them if one is a dummy? Haruna has used double kick pedals on only one in the past, but that does not seem to be the case here.
@@JohnPMatias16 Just a guess, but one may be a dead mic just there for appearances, since they were filming this show for the DVD. She has talked before about preferring to use the double kicks because it is nearly impossible to get double bass drums to achieve the same sound consistently, especially for an entire show if one drum should come out of tune slightly.
@@JohnPMatias16 I just watched the video again on a larger screen, where it is easier to see. If you look very closely at the 3:07 mark in this reaction video, you can see the double kicks, although it goes by really quick. If you watch it from the original video, I'm not sure what the time stamp would be, but it is during the third pre-chorus (the last one before the solos), when she is singing, "fighting the darkness for sisters," the camera flashes on Haruna's right side from the back, so you can see the double kicks right as Asami is singing the word "darkness."
LOVEBITES LOVEBITES LOVEBITES......the most awesome band I have ever come across. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 MIHO MIHO MIHO.......the one responsible for putting up such an awesome band .🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
To see Asami really hit a big sustained belt, watch 'Edge Of The World' She had nothing left in those tiny lungs of hers. You can really hear push through the last second. This power ballad will be more your speed by what you have said. th-cam.com/video/FGRxXCDtRFA/w-d-xo.html
Some Japanese bands. Take your pick: BAND-MAID [All their songs... really!], LOVEBITES [Break the Wall, Raise some Hell, and all the other songs], MAXIMUM THE HORMONE [Yoshu Fukushu], DEXCORE [Red Eye], CROSSFAITH [Catastrophe], SiM [Killing Me], NINGEN ISU [Heartless Scat], UNLUCKY MORPHEUS [Black Pentagram], YOUSEI TEIKOKU [Astral Dogma], COLDRAIN [Die Tomorrow], CRYSTAL LAKE [The Circle], GIVEN BY THE FLAMES [Ronove], ANGRY FROG REBIRTH [2Step Syndrome], SILENTLY SHOOTING TRAITORS [Manipulate], ALDIOUS [Dominator], BRIDEAR [Light in the Dark], CINQ ELEMENT [Destiny], MARY'S BLOOD [Marionette], GRAUPEL [Bereavement], DOLL$BOXX [Take my Chance], SOKONINARU [Tenohira De Odoru], HELLO SLEEPWALKERS [Flying Saucer], TELECiDE [Tied up Memories], NEKO [Ghost on a Record], ROTTENGRAFFTY [Hallelujah], LYNCH [Devil], DIR EN GREY [Ningen wo Kaburu], X JAPAN [Kurenai], DAZZLE VISION [Second], JUPITER [My Enemy], GALNERYUS [Angel of Salvation], BLOOD STAIN CHILD [Del-Sol], NEMOPHILA [Dissension], DADAROMA [Lucid Dream], JILUKA [Lluvia], HANABIE [We Love Sweets], and many many more...
Try songs : Set the world on fire, Edge of the world, Break the wall, Thunder Vengeance, Swan song, Burden of time- live studio. Lovebites and the female japanese band Nemophila, are both incredible, both have two Lead guitarists, virtuosos.
I would recommend Edge Of The World. It is not thrash metal. It starts off slowly, becomes a ballad, then a rocker, then metal, with piano and tasty soloes. I think you would enjoy it.
Great reaction Steve. Do you prefer heavier stuff, very tight 16th notes riffs, or more lighter songs? These ladies have wide range of styles. I hope you continue the journey, even better try the newest live video "Set the World on Fire". Nice introduction of @LOVEBITES
And to answer your question: I prefer heavier slower paced stuff generally. Something with a bit of groove in it. But I like all kinds of musical styles when they’re done well.
@@SteveOGRock You should give "Break The Wall" a try - it's one of their heavier songs, with an incredibly beautifull slow part in the middle th-cam.com/video/G021aP2ao6Y/w-d-xo.html
@@SteveOGRock As many Wolfpacks probably suggested to try "Break the Wall", "Empty Daydream", or "The Hammer of Wrath", I would suggest an interesting mix of styles outside their comfort zone, "Dancing with the Devil" th-cam.com/video/NPv8PUFcWec/w-d-xo.html
It is worth you looking at other Lovebites songs even though the speed/power metal sound may not be your thing. Hear is a good example of a song that incorporates a wide range of styles. Edge Of The World: th-cam.com/video/FGRxXCDtRFA/w-d-xo.html Thank you for your thoughts and comments.
there is a song where Miyako plays Chopin on the piano before going into her composition made to go with it called Swan Song. very classical sound to it
They just posted their new video live song Set The World On Fire, and other songs live Raise Some Hell, The Hammer Of Wrath, Scream For Me, Break The Wall and 2021 MV Glory To The World, Winds Of Transylvania, its time to look for J-METAL/ROCK all Japanese female Band NEMOPHILA - songs Dissension, Raitei(Thunder) HANABIE - song We Love Sweets BANDMAID - songs live 2021 No God, Thrill, Warning, After Life, Manners TRIDENT-JAPAN - songs Voltage, No Regret, Utopia ASTERISM - songs Stars, Dawn, Rising Moon...
People who don't know power metal music always said " it's sort of dragonforce thing.." well maybe you want to hear about Helloween,Stratovarius,Sonata Arctica, or even Heavenly,,that's what Lovebites become incredible
Lovebites is an amazing band. In fact japanese hardrock and Metal scene is coming strong now. But Powermetal is the most common. Read in the comment that You like harder with more groove. I suggest You to check out Ningen Isu / Heartless Scat, Asterism ( an instrumental group) / Rising Moon, Band-Maid / Freedom (live) ohh and Galneyus / Angel of Salvation (live) , Versailles /Faith and Decision (live) Both of this 2 song are 16 minutes of awesomeness.
@@SteveOGRock I forgot the amazing indie bands Unlucky Morpheus. Start with Black Pentagram. 4 of their members have a side project called Quadratum and they make instrumental covers. Can I tckle you a little. EVH Eruption on violin, or Yngvie Malmsteen's Far beyond the sun (lead on violin) or Dream Theater - The Dance of Eternity (Violin Cover).
I've never been into Power Metal, and the only real NWOBHM bands I liked were Motorhead and Girlschool. Even Thrash wasn't really my thing, although I did like some of it in small doses. That's the stuff Lovebites are most influenced by, and when I discovered them (the song was Shadowmaker), I thought they were really good, but never thought they'd become my favourite band or anything just because I'm not really a metal guy, I'm more into hard rock and punk-ish sort of stuff, and lo and behold Lovebites became my favourite band. Go figure.
LOVEBITES: Their gimmick is their ability! - A very good Reaction video of a musician reactor. People who are musicians themselves can often better recognize and appreciate the masterful performance of the Lovebites ladies. The Lovebites motto is: "We're not here to be cute, we're here to be heavy" The white clothes: Lovebites women say: "We wear these clothes because we are women and because we don't want to look like 90% of metal bands in the last 35 years". We hope for more of you to Lovebites : They play different styles, but always hard and fast. Thrash Metal + Power Metal + Speed Metal + Metal Ballads S u g g e s t i o n s for next reaction V i d e o : ALL LIVE !!! The Hammer Of Wrath - Zepp Diver City live 2020 Thunder Vengeance - Zepp Diver City live 2020 Break the Wall - Zepp Diver City live 2020 Above the Black Sea - Live at WACKEN Open air 2018 Shadowmaker - Awake Again live Studio 2020 Epilogue - Daughters of the Dawn live 2019 Scream for me - Daughters of the Dawn live 2019 Eagle fly free cover - Awake Again live Studio 2020 Bravehearted - Daughters of the Dawn live 2019
The other reason they wear white is so they can be seen. With Haruna being the shortest at 4ft. 9in, if they all wore black or what other metal bands wore, they would get swallowed by the stage. So they wear white so they stand out and can be seen.
This saturday World premiere e-viewing event "LIVE AT HOME 2" (Live Blu-ray/DVD "HEAVY METAL NEVER DIES") th-cam.com/video/A9X4XCDE_-c/w-d-xo.html Lovebites the team of five thrashpower metal godesses. "We're not here to be cute, we're here to be heavy" Stay safe. Stay Lovebites.
A couple other suggestions from the VERY deep world of Japanese female metal: Nemophila ("supergroup" with a great range of styles within the broader metal genre); "Raitei," "Life," or "Dissension" would be good starting points with this band, who are on a rapid upward trajectory. And Hanabie ("harajukucore"), with "We Love Sweets" being the best way to start; I guarantee your jaw will hit the floor about 8 seconds in. ;) Coincidentally, both bands have flower-related names: "nemophila" is a five-petaled (it's a 5-piece band) flower, and "hanabie" (花冷え) means "flower cold" or "flower chill," probably best rendered in English as "coldflower." There are literally dozens of amazing bands in this scene. Personally, high-velocity powermetal is one of my favorite metal subgenres (not much of a death/black metal guy), so a lot of Lovebites' material really works for me. While they do change the pace, a lot of Lovebites' stuff is similarly energetic. Astonishingly, the Drummer Haruna can maintain that energy level for entire 2-hour concerts - it's not for nothing she's earned the nickname "the pocket nuclear reactor" ("pocket" because she's all of 4'9" tall!). I love this guitar duo.(pro player here, fwiw...). They have different styles which are nevertheless perfectly complimentary. Miyako (the dark-haired one) has said "Midori is faster and more technical than I am," but that's like saying a Koenigsegg is faster and more technical than a Ferrari. They both have mad chops and great feel. Miyako now has her own Dean signature model.
I suggest you do their song that showcases their guitarist's piano skills. Do "Etude/Swan Song" with Miyako's piano solo intro. Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/w-d-xo.html
Please don't compare with Dragon Force or any other group ! They are the LOVEBITES. And they are vastly better than anything I have heard ! And I am 70 years old !
Good musical analysis. As you said it's not the style of music you usually listen to and vibrate to. I guess what makes you vibrate is the death metal style. For me Lovebites represents the pinnacle of what I like in music, and unlike you I don't get the death vibe at all. All tastes are in nature.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Frederic. It's awesome that there so many kinds of music out there to enjoy and all are welcome to enjoy whatever styles they like! Have a great day my friend.
LMAO....they are so much better than I will ever be...fret not there are few anywhere than can match the M & M show especially LIVE and at these speeds. If you thought this was dope...out of their 50+ songs since 2017 this doesn't sniff the top 10, so get ready for a ride. Power, Speed, Thrash, Rock, Prog, Ballads and classical piano are all in their catalog (forget genre labels these women are so insanely talented they can play anything they want). They chase flawless perfection in everything they do and especially LIVE where one missed note in a 2 hour set eats at them. To get a feel try this range of songs: Scream for Me (th-cam.com/video/acwkphgzNg8/w-d-xo.html) Fun song for the band and a guitar clinic at the same time. Swan Song with piano intro (th-cam.com/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/w-d-xo.html) Classical piano and metal done to perfection by this band LIVE. Set the World on Fire (th-cam.com/video/99zsH6iG_6c/w-d-xo.html) Thrash played the way only Lovebites can LIVE this band is an experience, world class musicians at every position but they are tight and always in sync despite limited touring. Best new metal band per Hammer 2018 and 1st all female Japanese metal band to appear at Wacken Open Air (Mecca of Metal-over 100+ metal bands from around the world play over 3/4 days).
Miho (the bassist) doesn't actually do the finger tapping. If you look closely, Midori (far left) puts her pick in her mouth (1:53) and does the tapping. It's looks like the bassist is actually doing it, unless you are paying close attention. Midori then takes the pick out of her mouth after performing the tapping (1:56). Midori does the same thing later in the song, when she does the tapping.
@@SteveOGRock Most people start with the live performance of Domination or FREEDOM if u want something more up beat. Theres also real existence, imo all their lives are amazing
@@SteveOGRock may not quite be you cup of Tea as they tend to have lighter (Vocally) Melodic Choruses (some call it poppy(not me))but still well worth the exploration try Rinne (MV) or Manners & Black Hole (Live) for a bit of Variety.

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

Miho and Miyako have composed most of their music, in collaboration with Mao, the lead composer of another band called Lightbringer, but Midori has also been getting into the act. Asami writes a lot of the lyrics.
They studied all the great historical metal bands going back to Purple and Sabbath, through Maiden, Priest, Metallica, Helloween, Slayer etc. and aced it all. They toured with Dragonforce in 2019, and word from those in attendance is that next time around, it will be the ladies headlining.

For a heart-stopping ballad, “Epilogue” th-cam.com/video/1ynnXDfEnnY/w-d-xo.html (this includes a second song, your choice whether or not to react to both)
Finally, while it’s generally true their live clips are best, their MV’s are epic and worth seeing:

Yes, they are actually best live.

Some people say they can't fly, but I don't believe that, they just don't do it in public ! 🤣
There are two bass drums on the stage, but one is a dummy. Haruna uses double kick pedals on one of them, but the other is just for show.

If you look very closely at the 3:07 mark in this reaction video, you can see the double kicks, although it goes by really quick. If you watch it from the original video, I'm not sure what the time stamp would be, but it is during the third pre-chorus (the last one before the solos), when she is singing, "fighting the darkness for sisters," the camera flashes on Haruna's right side from the back, so you can see the double kicks right as Asami is singing the word "darkness."
LOVEBITES LOVEBITES LOVEBITES......the most awesome band I have ever come across. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
MIHO MIHO MIHO.......the one responsible for putting up such an awesome band .🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
To see Asami really hit a big sustained belt, watch 'Edge Of The World' She had nothing left in those tiny lungs of hers. You can really hear push through the last second.
This power ballad will be more your speed by what you have said. th-cam.com/video/FGRxXCDtRFA/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the recommendation!
The Metal Goddesses are Awesome 👌 If the speed is not your thing, check out, " Epilogue ", " Empty Daydream "or " Revolutionary Etude + Swan Song ".😎🤘
Some Japanese bands. Take your pick: BAND-MAID [All their songs... really!], LOVEBITES [Break the Wall, Raise some Hell, and all the other songs], MAXIMUM THE HORMONE [Yoshu Fukushu], DEXCORE [Red Eye], CROSSFAITH [Catastrophe], SiM [Killing Me], NINGEN ISU [Heartless Scat], UNLUCKY MORPHEUS [Black Pentagram], YOUSEI TEIKOKU [Astral Dogma], COLDRAIN [Die Tomorrow], CRYSTAL LAKE [The Circle], GIVEN BY THE FLAMES [Ronove], ANGRY FROG REBIRTH [2Step Syndrome], SILENTLY SHOOTING TRAITORS [Manipulate], ALDIOUS [Dominator], BRIDEAR [Light in the Dark], CINQ ELEMENT [Destiny], MARY'S BLOOD [Marionette], GRAUPEL [Bereavement], DOLL$BOXX [Take my Chance], SOKONINARU [Tenohira De Odoru], HELLO SLEEPWALKERS [Flying Saucer], TELECiDE [Tied up Memories], NEKO [Ghost on a Record], ROTTENGRAFFTY [Hallelujah], LYNCH [Devil], DIR EN GREY [Ningen wo Kaburu], X JAPAN [Kurenai], DAZZLE VISION [Second], JUPITER [My Enemy], GALNERYUS [Angel of Salvation], BLOOD STAIN CHILD [Del-Sol], NEMOPHILA [Dissension], DADAROMA [Lucid Dream], JILUKA [Lluvia], HANABIE [We Love Sweets], and many many more...
Try songs : Set the world on fire, Edge of the world, Break the wall, Thunder Vengeance, Swan song, Burden of time- live studio. Lovebites and the female japanese band Nemophila, are both incredible, both have two Lead guitarists, virtuosos.
I would recommend Edge Of The World. It is not thrash metal. It starts off slowly, becomes a ballad, then a rocker, then metal, with piano and tasty soloes. I think you would enjoy it.
Ooh, that does sound intriguing. Thanks Carl!
4:50 well I feel u Steve 🥲😓. .
Miho Miho Miho!
\m/
Great reaction Steve. Do you prefer heavier stuff, very tight 16th notes riffs, or more lighter songs? These ladies have wide range of styles. I hope you continue the journey, even better try the newest live video "Set the World on Fire". Nice introduction of @LOVEBITES
Thanks Dino! I’ll make a note of that new track to check out some time.
And to answer your question: I prefer heavier slower paced stuff generally. Something with a bit of groove in it. But I like all kinds of musical styles when they’re done well.
@@SteveOGRock You should give "Break The Wall" a try - it's one of their heavier songs, with an incredibly beautifull slow part in the middle th-cam.com/video/G021aP2ao6Y/w-d-xo.html
@@SteveOGRock As many Wolfpacks probably suggested to try "Break the Wall", "Empty Daydream", or "The Hammer of Wrath", I would suggest an interesting mix of styles outside their comfort zone, "Dancing with the Devil" th-cam.com/video/NPv8PUFcWec/w-d-xo.html
@@SteveOGRock I think this qualies. Japanese, all female. But not metal. th-cam.com/video/gGeotFVkxGk/w-d-xo.html
It is worth you looking at other Lovebites songs even though the speed/power metal sound may not be your thing. Hear is a good example of a song that incorporates a wide range of styles. Edge Of The World: th-cam.com/video/FGRxXCDtRFA/w-d-xo.html Thank you for your thoughts and comments.
there is a song where Miyako plays Chopin on the piano before going into her composition made to go with it called Swan Song. very classical sound to it
Yeah, they shit all over most bands today.
They just posted their new video live song Set The World On Fire, and other songs live Raise Some Hell, The Hammer Of Wrath, Scream For Me, Break The Wall and 2021 MV Glory To The World, Winds Of Transylvania,
its time to look for J-METAL/ROCK all Japanese female Band
NEMOPHILA - songs Dissension, Raitei(Thunder)
HANABIE - song We Love Sweets
BANDMAID - songs live 2021 No God, Thrill, Warning, After Life, Manners
TRIDENT-JAPAN - songs Voltage, No Regret, Utopia
ASTERISM - songs Stars, Dawn, Rising Moon...
People who don't know power metal music always said " it's sort of dragonforce thing.." well maybe you want to hear about Helloween,Stratovarius,Sonata Arctica, or even Heavenly,,that's what Lovebites become incredible
Lovebites is an amazing band. In fact japanese hardrock and Metal scene is coming strong now. But Powermetal is the most common. Read in the comment that You like harder with more groove. I suggest You to check out Ningen Isu / Heartless Scat, Asterism ( an instrumental group) / Rising Moon, Band-Maid / Freedom (live) ohh and Galneyus / Angel of Salvation (live) , Versailles /Faith and Decision (live) Both of this 2 song are 16 minutes of awesomeness.
David! Thanks for the comment and the thorough recommendations. I’ll add those to my list!
@@SteveOGRock I forgot the amazing indie bands Unlucky Morpheus. Start with Black Pentagram. 4 of their members have a side project called Quadratum and they make instrumental covers. Can I tckle you a little. EVH Eruption on violin, or Yngvie Malmsteen's Far beyond the sun (lead on violin) or Dream Theater - The Dance of Eternity (Violin Cover).
I've never been into Power Metal, and the only real NWOBHM bands I liked were Motorhead and Girlschool. Even Thrash wasn't really my thing, although I did like some of it in small doses. That's the stuff Lovebites are most influenced by, and when I discovered them (the song was Shadowmaker), I thought they were really good, but never thought they'd become my favourite band or anything just because I'm not really a metal guy, I'm more into hard rock and punk-ish sort of stuff, and lo and behold Lovebites became my favourite band. Go figure.
Haha! Great story. Yeah, good music is good music. The talent of the musicians really helps make the difference.
LOVEBITES: Their gimmick is their ability! - A very good Reaction video of a musician reactor. People who are musicians themselves can often better recognize and appreciate the masterful performance of the Lovebites ladies. The Lovebites motto is: "We're not here to be cute, we're here to be heavy"
The white clothes: Lovebites women say: "We wear these clothes because we are women and because we don't want to look like 90% of metal bands in the last 35 years".
We hope for more of you to Lovebites : They play different styles, but always hard and fast. Thrash Metal + Power Metal + Speed Metal + Metal Ballads

The other reason they wear white is so they can be seen. With Haruna being the shortest at 4ft. 9in, if they all wore black or what other metal bands wore, they would get swallowed by the stage. So they wear white so they stand out and can be seen.
This saturday
World premiere e-viewing event "LIVE AT HOME 2" (Live Blu-ray/DVD "HEAVY METAL NEVER DIES") th-cam.com/video/A9X4XCDE_-c/w-d-xo.html
Lovebites the team of five thrashpower metal godesses.
"We're not here to be cute, we're here to be heavy"
Stay safe. Stay Lovebites.
by the way new sub here , try emty daydream by lovebites its a power ballad
A couple other suggestions from the VERY deep world of Japanese female metal: Nemophila ("supergroup" with a great range of styles within the broader metal genre); "Raitei," "Life," or "Dissension" would be good starting points with this band, who are on a rapid upward trajectory. And Hanabie ("harajukucore"), with "We Love Sweets" being the best way to start; I guarantee your jaw will hit the floor about 8 seconds in. ;) Coincidentally, both bands have flower-related names: "nemophila" is a five-petaled (it's a 5-piece band) flower, and "hanabie" (花冷え) means "flower cold" or "flower chill," probably best rendered in English as "coldflower." There are literally dozens of amazing bands in this scene.
Personally, high-velocity powermetal is one of my favorite metal subgenres (not much of a death/black metal guy), so a lot of Lovebites' material really works for me. While they do change the pace, a lot of Lovebites' stuff is similarly energetic. Astonishingly, the Drummer Haruna can maintain that energy level for entire 2-hour concerts - it's not for nothing she's earned the nickname "the pocket nuclear reactor" ("pocket" because she's all of 4'9" tall!).
I love this guitar duo.(pro player here, fwiw...). They have different styles which are nevertheless perfectly complimentary. Miyako (the dark-haired one) has said "Midori is faster and more technical than I am," but that's like saying a Koenigsegg is faster and more technical than a Ferrari. They both have mad chops and great feel. Miyako now has her own Dean signature model.
David, thanks for the insightful comment! You clearly know your stuff!
Great reaction, if you like amazingly talented female Japanese rock, as opposed to Metal, check out Band Maid, you won`t be disappointed !!
I definitely need to check them out. So many recommendations for them. Got a particular song I should hear?
@@SteveOGRock literally any song of theirs on youtube and you can`t go wrong. Really, they are that good, maybe start with Dice
Great reaction man! If you like hard rock check all female band from japan also. BAND-MAID.
I suggest you do their song that showcases their guitarist's piano skills. Do "Etude/Swan Song" with Miyako's piano solo intro. Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/w-d-xo.html
Welcome to the wolf 🐺 pack!!!
Please don't compare with Dragon Force or any other group ! They are the LOVEBITES. And they are vastly better than anything I have heard ! And I am 70 years old !
Good musical analysis. As you said it's not the style of music you usually listen to and vibrate to. I guess what makes you vibrate is the death metal style. For me Lovebites represents the pinnacle of what I like in music, and unlike you I don't get the death vibe at all. All tastes are in nature.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Frederic. It's awesome that there so many kinds of music out there to enjoy and all are welcome to enjoy whatever styles they like! Have a great day my friend.
A little bit of Japanese Math Metal? --> *SOKONINARU* - _Tenohira De Odoru_
LMAO....they are so much better than I will ever be...fret not there are few anywhere than can match the M & M show especially LIVE and at these speeds. If you thought this was dope...out of their 50+ songs since 2017 this doesn't sniff the top 10, so get ready for a ride. Power, Speed, Thrash, Rock, Prog, Ballads and classical piano are all in their catalog (forget genre labels these women are so insanely talented they can play anything they want). They chase flawless perfection in everything they do and especially LIVE where one missed note in a 2 hour set eats at them. To get a feel try this range of songs:
Scream for Me (th-cam.com/video/acwkphgzNg8/w-d-xo.html) Fun song for the band and a guitar clinic at the same time.
Swan Song with piano intro (th-cam.com/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/w-d-xo.html) Classical piano and metal done to perfection by this band LIVE.
Set the World on Fire (th-cam.com/video/99zsH6iG_6c/w-d-xo.html) Thrash played the way only Lovebites can
LIVE this band is an experience, world class musicians at every position but they are tight and always in sync despite limited touring. Best new metal band per Hammer 2018 and 1st all female Japanese metal band to appear at Wacken Open Air (Mecca of Metal-over 100+ metal bands from around the world play over 3/4 days).
Miho (the bassist) doesn't actually do the finger tapping. If you look closely, Midori (far left) puts her pick in her mouth (1:53) and does the tapping. It's looks like the bassist is actually doing it, unless you are paying close attention. Midori then takes the pick out of her mouth after performing the tapping (1:56). Midori does the same thing later in the song, when she does the tapping.
you need to go down the rabbit hole of BAND-MAID no if or buts :D
Cheers for the tip! I’ve had another person suggest that. Never heard of them. Will need to check it out! Got a song recommendation?
@@SteveOGRock Most people start with the live performance of Domination or FREEDOM if u want something more up beat. Theres also real existence, imo all their lives are amazing
@@SteveOGRock may not quite be you cup of Tea as they tend to have lighter (Vocally) Melodic Choruses (some call it poppy(not me))but still well worth the exploration try Rinne (MV) or Manners & Black Hole (Live) for a bit of Variety.
BAND-MAID IS OF EQUAL QUALITY BUT MORE ROCK AND HARD ROCK. YOU WILL ESPECIALLY LIKE THEIR SLOWER SONGS LIKE MANNERS AND DAYDREAMING.
next time watch Unlucky Morpheus - Angreifer live, hope you'll like it
Thanks for the recommendation!
nxt stop bro band maid all 5 female japanese hard rock band try domination live
I recommend to you
Japanese female band " Gacharic Spin "
The song is " MindSet " soooooooo good
