But as I've gotten older I've realized there's alot of great music out there, and I want to find it! Thank You for bearing with me on the beginning stages of this channel. Feel free to request any song.

• LOVEBITES - Swan Song ...
![LOVEBITES / Nameless Warrior [Official Live Video] (Reaction)](/img/1.gif)
Miyako is unreal. The end of this song is very moving no matter how often I’ve heard it. Swan Song is a masterpiece.
I was so surprised! Loved it
These ladies need to tour North America. I really want to see them live.
You just watched a masterpiece. This is The Miyako Show.
Truly magical 🎸🤘
MIYAKO MAGIC ❤️🐺🤘!
loved it
@jonathan - I think this is the Miyako, Haruna and Asami show. The drums are insane, almost unreal! Asami really shines! But, of course, Miyaki wrote it and just killed it on piano and on guitar and being so beautiful.
Yeah, this song is the one to see really what Miyako is capable of 😄😄🤘🏼🤘🏼
simply amazing
The Chopin piece Miyako (guitar/keyboards) is playing in the intro is "Etude OP10, No. 12" known as the "Revolutionary Etude."
In 1831, some officers and citizens rose up against the Polish government, which was under the de facto control of the Russian Empire, in what was called the "November Revolution" but ended in failure due to the direct intervention of Russian troops. Chopin received this news during a performance tour. He never set foot on the soil of his homeland again. When the Russians invaded Warsaw, Chopin's agent presented "Etude OP10, No. 12" in Paris. Because of the agent's exaggerated publicity, people called this piece "Revolutionary Etude.
Miyasako composed "Swan Song" based on this "Revolutionary Etude" and Dvorak's "New World Symphony.
Asami (vocalist), a former ballerina, wrote the lyrics based on the historical background of "Revolutionary Etude" and inspired by Norse mythology and the ballet suite "Swan Lake.
There are 3 moments in this song when all the hairs on my arm just stand on end - when Asami comes in at the beginning, when Miyako’s solo comes in and when Miyako is back on the piano. Magical🤘
soooo good
@GY - so true. But there is a fourth thing in this song I want to add. That is the times when the focus is on Haruna. She is so into this song. The drum sticks and her feet just flows.
I’ll add a fifth…the half second of total silence followed by pinpoint synchronicity.
You win the prize for the most prolonged jaw drop in Lovebites reaction history. Now you truly understand why I spend every evening watching every new reaction, and so do so many of the names both before and after my own comment. It’s because we’re not fans of this band because they’re great musicians, or because they’re beautiful, or because they produce such amazing melodies.
It’s because we love them…in the very best sense that that expression can be used. I love this band. How about that for honest emotion?
Great reaction Wolfpack brother.
@@alekhidell - The total synchronicity after the silence is due to them playing to a click track. I think they always do that. This is also why M&M can keep total synchronicity even though they are at opposite parts of the stage. But, you are totally right. It gets me every time. Often reactors chose to pause there and then they miss it. And then I sigh. Pity!
Lovebites is on a whole different level than any other Metal band. They are Epic in every regard and that translates for many as Emotional in the listening experience. You feel the messages their sound and techniques are delivering. The lyrics are of Strength, Virtue and Beauty and their Music spans a broad spectrum of many familiar and classical Greats of years past. Not many guitarists can play a Pro Recital Chopin Piece and then in a 6 count grab the guitar and finger tap across the board like EVH was her teacher. Miyako and the Whole band is just In Fricking Credible. Every song is a literal Epic Journey be it in Thrash,Power or Traditional Heavy Metal. They absolutely own.
Dude, such a great song
You can thank the dark-haired guitarist / piano player Miyako for the idea & arrangement of the music and the vocalist Asami for the lyrics. These are a classy elegant group of women that steal hearts & melt faces ! 😏❤️🎙🎸🎹🥁😎🤘 P.S. try " A Frozen Serenade, " live.
There's no denying it - Lovebites dominate the landscape of metal music in every respect. They have revitalized and then further developed the genre in breath-taking ways. These ladies are a godsend.
This song is a combination of many things. Metal and Classic, Swan and Valhalla Warrior, East and West. The lotus is a symbol of Buddhism and is the flower of Buddha, and all Buddha statues are made to exist on lotus flowers. The theme of this song is a reflection on life and death.
Frédéric Chopin (pronounced "show-pan") is a Polish composer from the Romantic era and the piano intro at the beginning is derived from one of his works called "Étude Op. 10, No. 12 in C minor", also known as the "Revolutionary Étude". It is one of the more difficult piano pieces to recite because of the relentless use of the left hand, and virtuoso lead guitarist and pianist Miyako performed it with ease. She's also the composer and arranger of "Swan Song"
Want another Masterpiece by Lovebites?? Try “Frozen Serenade”, it’s a bit harder as well.

Agree - it is a masterpiece
Epic classic by Lovebites. A masterpiece.
sooo good
I just typed an essay and RUclips sent it into a memory hole. Summary
Longest jaw drop in Lovebites reaction history.
Why the comments section has familiar names.
Because we love this band. Not schmaltzy, not sickly. We love them. Or at least, I love them. Because they are special.
Miho Miho Miho!
Chopin (pronounced Show-pan) was a Polish-born Romantic-era (1800’s) classical composer and piano virtuoso who lived most of his life in France. He is considered one of the great classical composers, specializing in highly technical works for piano. Miyako, who composes a lot of Lovebites’ music, is a professional-level concert pianist, and was originally going to make classical music her career. When she was 18, she picked up a guitar, and is now (quite obviously) an elite-level guitarist. She particularly likes the Romantic Era classical composers like Debussy, Dvořák and Chopin, as well as her stated favorite, Russian romantic composer Rachmaninoff. She composed “Swan Song” using elements of the New World Symphony (Dvořák) and Chopin’s Revolutionary Etude (official name Étude Opus 10, No. 12 in C minor), with a passage from Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto #2 as the outro. For this performance, she actually played the Etude as a prelude, but it’s not normally included in their shows.
while it is true that Chopin gained appreciation for his genius in France, and embraced the French pronunciation of his name, it is inappropriate to correct someone who uses the Polish pronunciation of his name. as you correctly point out, he was born in Poland. he did not move to France until finishing his music education in late 1830, a few months before his 21st birthday. he fell in love with the French people, and their culture, but although more people have learned and spoken the French pronunciation of his name, and in 1835 he earned French citizenship, he always considered himself to be Polish, and both pronunciations of Chopin are equally correct and accurate. he spent almost 19 years in France, and sadly was taken from us by tuberculosis in 1849, at the age of only 39.
There's nothing wrong with crying tears of joy with something beautiful moves you.
For“Swan Song” Miyako used elements of two of her favorite classics: Chopin’s “Revolutionary Etude” and Dvorak’ “ New World Symphony” 🎹🔥🤘
Welcome back and thank you for doing this reaction to lovebites again, this is my favourite song from lovebites,OMG Miyako really a world class musician, LOVEBITES ROCK
much love. Its such a good song
OMG !!! For me, the best reaction to „Swan Song” ever 👍👏 Thanks and cheers from Poland 🍺🍺🍺LOVEBITES RULES 🤘🤘🤘 WOLFPACK 🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺
Much love!!! This song blew me away
This band bring new era in heavy metal, nice comment and reaction on Lovebites thank you, lets go for the next Lovebites song The Crusade, live Tokyo 2021, how this musician amaze us, they all talented 👍👍
Epilogue is another amazing song it's their one true ballad
yessss. I have my place for HELLFEST in france 28th of June. LOVEBITES will be there
Actually was friends with a Polish Fighter pilot from WWII,(RIP Zygmunt-1998). And after listening to him tell me the stories of how Poland pilots out performed all others in the Battle of Britain, the Winged Hussars saving Vienna in 1683 and defeating Russia for independence in 1918 to form Poland, this song hits hard with that Chopin(Chopin was Polish, pronounced Showpan,) intro and Miyako closing it out. Love the lyrics and the feel.
The end of that piano was related to Poland's failed uprising resulting so many Polish death. Poland went on to gain independance finally.
@lanuiiohu actually it's the opening part(Chopin part, 'Revolutionary' etude) that relates to that failed attempt to oust the Russian controlled govt in 1831. The closing is Miyako's blended influence for a fitting ending to the piece.
This song right here is my favorite that they've done and it brings tears to my eyes every time I
The end of that piano was related to Poland's failed uprising resulting so many Polish death. Poland went on to gain independance finally.
I'm wondering how many people on the planet could do what Miyako does in this song. Maybe a dozen? Probably less.
Sorry, I’m very late to the game responding to this reaction!
I chanced upon this band just before Christmas, they are absolutely stunning.
This song is breathtaking, and your reaction was exactly the same as mine when I first saw this performance. I have run out of words to describe how I feel about this band.
The pure talent these ladies have!
They’re a truly remarkable band.
Indeed, I love em.
I know what you feel sir,gret reaction
Lovebites are my favorite band since i know them. But as you asked for some other bands to check out my recommendations are here:
Nightwish from Finland (Symphonic Metal, Folk Metal)
The Warning from Mexico (Mostly straight Hard Rock with some Grunge/Punk influences)
Jinjer from Ukraine (Metalcore, very groovy, sometimes a bit jazzy or even Reggae sounding)
Band-Maid from Japan (Hard Rock, they go in many different directions in a proggy way, everything between Metal, Punk, Blues, Jazz, Pop Rock, beautiful Ballads)
Voice of Baceprot from Indonesia (Groovy Metal, inspired by Rage against the machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers and others)
All of them are at least female fronted or all female bands.
And of course continue with LOVEBITES and Nemophila…
LOVEBITES - Swan Song lyrics:
If this was the last day you could live on this earth
Would you still go on, accusing someone for today
It’s better to fail than not do anything at all
It is not the length, but depth of life that counts
Oh brave soldier
Oh gallant warrior
Valor to those who died in battle to Valhalla
Believe what’s in your soul
For death will come to all
You shall rest peacefully in God’s Heaven
Floating lotus
You are so graceful
Saintly and glorious
Till the end of time
Floating lotus
You are so beautiful
Sing me your sweet song
The legend of the swan
If you’ve never hoped, you’ve never been though despair
Ignorance is bliss, it’s easier to not care
You might think it’s meaningless to sacrifice a life
Sometimes the life of one can save so many more
Oh brave soldier
Oh gallant warrior
Valor to those who died in battle to Valhalla
Believe what’s in your soul
For death will come to all
You shall rest peacefully in God’s Heaven
Floating lotus
You are so graceful
Saintly and glorious
Till the end of time
Floating lotus
You are so beautiful
Sing me your sweet song
The legend of the swan
SOLO: miyako / both
Floating lotus
You are so graceful
Saintly and glorious
Till the end of time
Floating lotus
You are so beautiful
Sing me your sweet song
The legend of the swan

I believe that you are a person of rich sensibilities who understands the beauty of their music, and I think you will like the following two songs as well.

I was also impressed with your honest comment, saying you were thinking about your life by listening this song. Yah, it happens rarely in metal music. Maybe this would be the beauty of Love bites. Ps That lotus flower is a symbol of the strength and the grace since lotus grows in the mud and blooms beautifully beyond it. Even in the harshness , our life could be like that. Yes, Asami is a great poet!
Much love dude. I'm a fairly transparent person, and love to be straight up about things. Thank you for the kind words fam.
awesome reaction/analysis, bro. thank you.
You are super kind. Im very feely with explaining things so I tend to be simple
And just to think She was a piano player originally then started to practice guitar playing and within couple of years she became quite the master on both instruments.

LOVEBITES FOREVER 🔥🐺🔥

If you listen to very much classical music you’ll find that a lot of metal is pretty heavily influenced by it, then you get virtuosos like Lovebites incorporating it directly.
Glad you enjoyed it. At their core they seem to wield power metal across a variety of peers from Metallica and Judas Priest, through Queen, Sabbath and Helloween, landing at times in Slayer and Testament territory, yet they do all this with their own sense of composition and flavour.. amidst the japanese metal scene I tend to feel they're quite something. On the musical side of matters it was Queen who first drew me towards Japanese culture with the song "Teo Torriatte" from 1976's "Day the the Races" album (a fine track to look at too if I'm honest - a bit off the usual Queen path which people tread!). I feel that it they hadn't explored that way I may have never found these ladies, or indeed any of them previously mentioned.
9:21 "Welcome to Lovebites"! 😂
May I humbly introduce: The best of the best, giving their best. 😁And letting it look easy. 😄
Chopin is pronounced Show pan. Love your reactions to Lovebites. They are new to me but they certainly kick ass.
Hey, dude! You MUST react to Lovebites - Dissonance from their new album! MUST! For a great headbang! Thanks for reaction! Best wishes from Bulgaria - Europe! Cheers!🥃
YO hell yea!
I think you are someone that would appreciate their song Edge Of The World (Five of a kind live). Watch with the lyrics.. It’s personally my favorite song from Lovebites!
Man, if this blew your mind I feel for your health when it will be the time to listen "A Frozen Serenade".
I've had a few recommend this song lol I'm ready!
@@TheWolffAndTheMelody Can't wait for it!
This is my favourite band, so stoked you're on a journey with them! Babymetal was my first intro into the J-metal scene, and then Lovebites came up through YT recommendations and I've been gettting steadily more hooked ever since. Another group i got into thanks to Babymetal recommendations was Dreamcatcher. Technically Kpop, but with metal and rock infusions. Never been interested in kpop, but i listen to them a lot. If you're interested, you should check out Vision, Odd Eye, Piri, or Endless Night.
Appreciate the recommendations dude! I added em to the list!
It's a masterpiece 🤘
I love this one in particuliar. Il ove it so that my pupils and I made a danse on it for our end of the year schoolshow ^^ They all are somehow Lovebitesfans yet ^^
That is awesome!!! We live in such an amazing time for great music
🤘🏽LOVEBITES RULES🤘🏽
chopin - pronounced show - pan. frederic chopin was an 1800's composer and virtuoso pianist. very hard to play his compositions so it shows you what 30 years of piano has done for miyako. she started at 3 years old - now she is 33 and on another level. and to think she never touched a guitar until she was 18
Soooo amazing
This is a beautiful piece of work.
Dude, Lovebites is killing it!
Reminds me of old A7X and Dragonforce...both bands I could only listen to in limited amounts, this feels the same.
It's Chopin (pronounced showpan, not chopin!)
Nice review !!!
ok cool, thanks😅❤
Chopin is pronounced "Show-Pan". This guy: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fr%C3%A9d%C3%A9ric_Chopin
Nasty intro dude :D Is that you?
I really like Jacob Lizotte on here. He does Royalty Free and Copyright Free Metal. So I purchase some songs and use em for streaming, etc
i’ll like to introduce you to Sohyang. idk if you ever heard of her but she’s a awesome singer and covers some of the hardest such as whitney’s i have nothing and i’ll always love you, she also covered bridge under troubled waters and never enough. imo she’s probably one of the best female singers out there rn.
ohhh I will have to check her out
Lovebites is an unrelenting musical assault. I'd never heard of them until your reaction of Thunder Vengeance poped up on my feed. Down the rabbit hole I go...🤣🤣🤣
ohhh dude, check out my playlist! INSANE
🤘
Its pronounced showpan its spelled Cohpin he`s a classical pianist like Bach, Travoski
🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺
MIYAKO IS GOD !!!!
Chopin is pronounced show pan.
"chopp-in" lol it's pronounced "show-pen" he was a Polish composer
The BEST Heavy Metal Band in the World is LOVEBITES....
The BEST Hard Rock Band in the World is BAND-MAID...
The BEST Rock Metal&Cover Band in the World is NEMOPHILA...
The BEST three piece Metal Band in the World is ASTERISM....
I have a request: MergingMoon - Greyen (live clip official)
another Japanese band, vocal insanity
Can I see your Metal Elitist Card please ?
Lol Like who I mainly listened too?
@@TheWolffAndTheMelody name 3 songs of metallica will be enough 😌
@@SuperJohnWho My absolute fav song from them is "The Thing That Should Not Be", "Ride the Lightning", "Harvester of Sorrow" are tops for me
This performance always makes me cry. It's always the piano at the end that sets me off. Shadowmaker by them hits me as well right at the dual guitar part in the solo. It's just a certain something in certain songs that opens the tap.
The end of that piano was related to Poland's failed uprising resulting so many Polish death. Poland went on to gain independance finally.
