I was lucky enough to see CELAVI at Focus Wales in Wrexham last year, and they did not disappoint. Sarah's vocals were superb in a live setting and the guitars had a good amount of punch to them. Also, they're (Gwion and Sarah) absolutely lovely people to speak to, as I nervously and drunkenly tried speaking Welsh to Sarah! A true credit to Welsh music! Highly recommend their new EP "Anima", Eyeliner is probably my favourite song from the EP. Me Delecta, Nightmare and Cofia'r Enw are probably my favourite songs of theirs. About the pronunciation of their name: It's all down to personal preference, I sometimes say "keh-la-vee" or "c'est la vie", both are correct! 😊

🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺

You have to check out their live shows, they are amazing live!

Look for videos in which the members of HANABIE say their band’s name. Or paste their name into Google Translate and hear the machine say it: 花冷え

Great video! and such a awesome track 100% adding it to my spotify gaming play list while I play animal crossing

This game is so addictive 😂

You guys liked this and there are a lot of LOVEBITES songs/videos to have fun with. Good luck for your journey with LOVEBITES.

It is a strange video to start. This is more rock'n'roll that what they usually do, that's heavy metal. Also, they went with casual clothes instead of wearing their usual uniforms, that are more inspired in greek goddesses or brides vests. Hammer of Wrath or Holy War is usually what people use to get introduced to them, both great songs. This one too, don't take me wrong.

🤟🏻🔥Lovebites🐺Perfection🤘🏻🔥

🤘🇺🇦❤️ Hanabie

Lovebites deliver Power Metal, Thrash Metal, Sick Ballads and more, try to find a bad lovebites song & get ready for the live performances!!!!

Well you do jokes with the name but you are now at the Lovebite's realm entrance , I think you can try but probably you are not ready, good luck. The Wolfpack is here!! 🤘🏻🐺

Rock/Metal is not dead yet..It just lives in Japan nowadays..Tens of amazing All Female Bands..Band-Maid, Nemophila, Hagane, Bridear, Gacharic Spin, East Of Eden, Hades, Trident, Fate Gear for starters 🤘🔥❤️

Just so you're aware, @ingopek5485 is a well known LOVEBITES hater/troll who has been banned by dozens of reactor channels for childish / abusive / sometimes defamatory comments. If you're going to react to more LOVEBITES (which I hope you do), then I suggest you keep a close eye on his comments and decide if you want to follow the lead of those other several dozen reactor channels. He does have several ALT accounts, and even has conversations with himself between accounts. But its your channel, so I'll leave you to police the comments as you see fit.

Lovebites history : Lovebites has been around since 2016, and the women became more famous worldwide after performing at several major festivals, mainly in Europe, starting in 2018 - Wacken Open Air in Germany 2018 - Bloodstock Open Air in England 2019 - Graspop Metal Meeting Festival in Belgium 2019 - Download Festival in Spain. 2019 - Download Festival in UK. 2019 - Summer Sonic 2019 Festival in Japan In 2020, their career was abruptly interrupted by Corona. But they masterfully overcame the crisis, got married and had babies. In 2021 the founder Miho left the band for personal reasons and it went into a hiatus which lasted until the end of 2022. In the fall of 2022 they found a young fantastic bass player and in 2023 they released a new LP. The new LP reached the 5th place in the Japanese charts. Japan is the 2nd largest music market in the world and it is very rare that in these times a rock band comes so far forward. 2023 - Concert tour Japan 2024 - Concert tour Europe 2024 - Rock Imperium Festival in Spain 2024 - Hellfest in France 2024 - Resurrection Fest in Spain 2024 - Roskilde Festival in Denmark 2024 - Jeonju Ultimate Music Festival in South Korea 2024 - Concert tour USA Members : Haruna Ishikawa : Drums🥁 Midori Tatematsu : Lead Guitar, backing vocals 🎸 Miyako Watanabe : Lead Guitar, Keyboard , Piano, Keytar, backing vocals🎸🎹 FAMI : Bass🎸 Founder : Miho Rosana : Bass (2016-2021)🎸 INFO : Miyako + Midori are the best guitar duo in 3 decades ! All Lovebites women are masters. These Ladies write, compose and arrange their own songs. Over 60 premium songs in 7 years and not a single weak song. Masters in live playing and geniuses in composing. LOVEBITES: Their gimmick is their ability! - This women play different styles, but always hard and fast.

I think this song is more NWOBM than Thrash. Early 80's metal from the likes of Diamond Head, Iron Maiden and Motörhead...Lovebites are the saviors of Heavy Metal...and they do so much more than this!

Once you get to know Lovebites better, who everyone are and what they do, then this very video is fun to look at again. They are doing so much fun stuff in this video that is impossible to know if this is the first time listening to them. I shall not spoil it foryou and tell what. Just look at it again when you know the ladies better.

Nemophila is way closer to Hanabie , try Nemophila - "Rise" or "Zen"

Lovebites combine thrash, power, speed and heavy metal, with elements of the 80's and details of today. I cannot describe how awesome they are. Check them live. You will be blown away.

Formed in 2016 by drummer Haruna and original bassist Miho after their former band Destrose broke up. Named after the Grammy winning song "Love Bites (So Do I) by Halestorm, lead singer Asami has joined Lzzy and the boys , at Download 2019, to perform that song. Miyako and Midori (blond pony tail) are IMO 2 of the best guitarists today. New bassist Fami is seen here, Miho left in 2021, Fami won the auditions and joined in Oct 2022. Some songs lean towards thrash, and some towards power metal, plus some ballads. This song is the 2nd single from their 4th album, Judgement Day, released early 2023, first album recorded with Fami. The bass parts were written before she joined, but she brought her style and energy. This song, and the title track first single, start with a bass intro, a 'here's our new bassist, this is what she can do' kind of intros. 4 albums, and now 4 EP's to date. Their music videos are great, especially this one as you get to see them in regular clothes and just having fun. But their live videos awesome, they dress like princesses and melt your face at the same time. Any of the already suggested songs would be great to check out.

Nice one!! You've discovered the finest power/thrash band on the planet. The talent in this band is unparalleled. The Wolfpack will give you many suggestions. There are no bad songs. Maximum the Hormone just released a new video for Shimi. Will blow you away.Please react if you can.

ASAMI could sing what ever style she wants. And she is also a GREAT PERSON and LEADER.🥰😍😘

Nickname: Asami: vocal - "The One and Only Voice" Miyako: black air - guitar "The Golden Touch" Haruna: drums "Little Big Engine" Fami: bass "shining finger" Midori: blond air - guitar - "Crazy Shredder"

Part 2: Mardelas (2014) Another spin-off from Destrose; mixed male/female; leader Marina Hebiishi has one of the best voices in metal ruclips.net/video/Wd8P7wTnWJs/видео.html Mary's Blood (2008) The first major Destrose spin-out; Jedi-level lineup. Here, in their most famous video, Saki murders her guitar without breaking any nails: “Marionette” ruclips.net/video/MLM2unV0kwU/видео.html Maximum the Hormone (1998) Crazy, chaotic mashups of deathcore, nu-metal, pop and high-speed rapping. Co-founder Nao (drums) is the female member of the band. She has been a major influence on female drummers throughout Japan. This clip captures just a bit of the madness: 予襲復讐 (Yoshu Fukushu) ruclips.net/video/beN5ep5MrdY/видео.html MergingMoon (2010) Mix of prog and melodic death metal. Vocalist U is Japan’s terrifying answer to Tatiana of the Ukrainian metalcore/deathcore band Jinjer. ruclips.net/video/sIL-vgHNOu0/видео.html Muses (2020) Hard fusion with funk overtones; Supergroup assembled by the guitarist, Rie aka Suzaku, and including Juna Serita, the phenomenal bassist who was previously with Tokyo Groove Jyoshi and is now also with the Jazz Avengers. They absolutely rip. ruclips.net/video/exbIYCTQdpo/видео.html Mutant Monster (2008) Punk-pop, really good at it. Unfortunately, they have not been active in some time. ruclips.net/video/Fd6ymMR40NU/видео.html Narumi (solo) Prog-rock and fusion compositions-a change of pace from a master guitarist who was once the star lead for Destrose. She was later part of Lonesome Blue, but recently left. I’m sure she will turn up with another band. ruclips.net/video/cRyCaHjwIgk/видео.html Nemophila: (2019) Supergroup ex-Lipstick vocalist Mayu, ex-Disqualia guitarist Hazuki, ex-Hölderlins bassist Haraguchi-san, and ex-Soramimi drummer Muratatam. They were founded as a five-piece with dual leads, the other guitarist being former Mary’s Blood shred-master Saki. I’ve seen them live and they are just explosive. Saki left in early 2024. ruclips.net/video/lh-dVLKP314/видео.html 54 Nude Honeys (1992) Early Japanese punk-they toured the UK and Europe, and reports are that their crowds were as crazy as the crowds at Sex Pistols concerts. ruclips.net/video/jHnJSoGN5Mk/видео.html Otoboke Beaver (2009) In-your-face feminist thrash punk, way out there. They have toured Europe and the U.S.: ruclips.net/video/fkWfFXnLpYg/видео.html Paranoid Void (2013) Extremely technical prog and math rock, founded by three high-school classmates, maybe the most mind-bending band on this list.) “Ukiyo” ruclips.net/video/LIP0uf6Lpco/видео.html Rie aka Suzaku (38 y.o.) Instrumental guitar virtuoso. She is also the founder of Muses, a high-intensity fusion band (see above.) ruclips.net/video/2riBS7MvZvc/видео.html Sokoninaru (2011) Progressive metal, math rock, extremely technical; male/female cofounders) ruclips.net/video/MVxl0zXZBR4/видео.html Sonic Lover Reckless (2018) Special project of Miyako Watanabe, one of Lovebites’ two incomparable guitarists) ruclips.net/video/DXZ-qhxd1VI/видео.html Telecide (2016) Metalcore, aggressive and melodic at the same time. Disbanded; Natsumi, their drummer, is now the drummer for Bridear ruclips.net/video/keq-7ZCluFc/видео.html Tricot (2010) Post-progressive math-rock, highly technical with crazy time signatures and polyrhythms ruclips.net/video/P_B_GalsJrE/видео.html Trident (formerly Kakumei, renamed in 2020 with some personnel changes). Evolved from pop-punk to thrashier hard rock; several lineup changes but the bassist and lead singer have been constants) ruclips.net/video/9k9txMouU34/видео.html Unlucky Morpheus (2008) Female leads Fuki (vo) and Jill (violin). 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. ruclips.net/video/PTuWOWF_0r8/видео.html Wagakki Band (2012) Folk-Metal fusion band, all jedi-level musicians, half of them play traditional Japanese instruments and the other half play standard metal instruments. They announced in Jan. 2024 that they will go inactive at the end of the year. This song was originally written for a virtual (AI) singer, referred to as a Vocaloid: ruclips.net/video/Q2meWkWqc-I/видео.html Yōsei Teikoku (1997) Rock-Folk-Metal-Electronica fusion ensemble. Set in a fictional Fairy Empire, led by founder Yui, they have done a lot of anime themes and sound-tracks and also perform original songs live, in character. ruclips.net/video/_EeYxtAeaX4/видео.html There are many more. Others that come to mind are BRATS (cofounded by one of the members of Ladybaby), Drop’s, Stereopony, Scandal (still touring globally), and Princess Princess, which all tend more in the pop direction. On the metal side, there are the Bang-Dream projects, which are live groups based on Manga series (there are 9 bands so far in Bang-Dream). And of course, there are other female-fronted Kawaii-metal groups like Ladybaby and Ironbunny, to name the two best-known after Babymetal. I have found listings of over 600 such bands dating back to 1980. The ones listed above are my picks as the most interesting for reasons of quality, longevity or historical impact. If you find others you think belong on this list, please let me know. And if you find a dead link, also please let me know so I can fix the list. Thank you!

Nice reaction. Fantastic band. When they play live, they usually wear beautiful white dresses. If you want to see them in armour, check out the music video for When Destinies Align, and they wear black cloaks in the video for Judgement Day.

Part 1 (the list is too long to fit in one comment): Japan has had an active all-girl rock and metal scene since at least 1981. This is a starter list of all-female (or in eight cases, mixed gender) metal, punk, hard-rock and post-rock bands, with founding dates where I know them. It's 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. Note: I have tried to pick clips that are high quality and are representative of the band's style. If you put the question out there, you are likely to get suggestions mainly for Aldious, Band-Maid, Babymetal, Lovebites, Nemophila, Unlucky Morpheus and Wagakki Band. (If you area long-time listener or reviewer you have undoubtedly heard many of these). You can’t go wrong with any of them, but find time to check out more of the bands on this list. They are all worth the time and deserve the love, and many will really surprise you. My personal favorites include Asterism, Bridear, Doll$Boxx/Gacharic Spin, existTtrace, Hagane, Hanabie, Mary’s Blood, Sokoninaru and Tricot. Ok, the list: Show-Ya (1981) The original female J-metal band, founded before Metallica-this is from their 24th (!) anniversary concert-and they are still touring. They have a strong Deep Purple vibe, and in my view they belong in any rock or music hall of fame. “I am the Storm” ruclips.net/video/oJ_5Gv3vFjQ/видео.html Shonen Knife (1981) The world’s first bubblegum punk band. They have done several world tours, and opened for Nirvana, who were big fans. They also perform as a Ramones tribute band called Osaka Ramones. ruclips.net/video/w9LUlYzOiWs/видео.html Destrose (2005) This band was never stable, but has become almost mythic in metal history, because they spun off so many great bands, including Lovebites--you will recognize the drummer and bassist. Here are two clips-a lot of them get taken down so please let me know if either of these is dead: ruclips.net/video/JpyzVlPJC2g/видео.html ruclips.net/video/e-CH-FLS2kM/видео.html (This cuts off just after Narumi’s guitar solo-but they didn’t cut that, and it’s gorgeous.) Aldious (2008) Glamorous and kick-ass rockers. One of the first generation all-girl metal bands, along with Destrose. ruclips.net/video/sfkJT0rra-8/видео.html Asterism (2013) Power trio that will melt your face off. Guitarist Haruka Noma is off the charts talented and just turned 21. ruclips.net/video/IfxMi0Bx4x0/видео.html Babymetal (2010) The flagship “Kawaii metal” band and the most well-known Japanese metal act outside of Japan. Combining “Kawaii” (cute) Japanese pop tropes over thunderous heavy metal backing from Kami Band. ruclips.net/video/cK3NMZAUKGw/видео.html Band-Maid (2013) OK, there are 160+ great songs by them. Easily the best known band on this list other than Babymetal, they are more hard rock and prog than metal. Did a 14 city US tour in 2022 that sold out 48 hours after being listed, and a 2023 global 10th anniversary tour.

Welcome to Japan. They have loved Rock and Metal from the very beginning. Now you have about 50 years of material from Japan to mess with whenever you want to.

You’ve just discovered one of the most talented metal bands in the world that most people have never heard of. I saw them in London in July and they then went on to appear at Hellfest along with Metallica. Set The World On Fire and Holy War are established classics along with the very thrashy ‘Hammer of Wrath. ‘Edge of the World’ is beautiful.

Let me suggest some stuff .. i see u like hanabie ... Let's straight move on: Maze - Silent witness Passcode - Freely Shingeki - Inferno Broken by the Scream - Rising Sun Japan is awesome and hiding to many bands 🇯🇵🌸

Congratulations, you are well on your way to disappearing into the Japanese metal rabbit-hole. There are only 60+ more Lovebites songs to go, and dozens of other incredibly good bands.
