➡️ HOLY MOLY! We're 2 for 2 with Japanese metal bands that come out SWINGING within seconds! I enjoyed listening to BAND-MAID and after so many requests, I'm glad I got to experience @LOVEBITES_jp for the first time. LOVEBITES bassist Fami replaced Miho in 2021, and seems to be pulling out all the stops with two-handed bass tapping, the double-thump technique, and staying in the pocket with drummer Haruna throughout the blistering speed of this epic power metal track. "Judgement Day" is their latest release in early 2023, and I cannot wait to hear more! These ladies have CHOPS!

Fami was pretty incredible to watch! WOW! What’s the next LOVEBITES song I should do?
"Stand and Deliver" is the only other music video with Fami in the band. All the other Lovebites videos are with their original bass player, Miho.
Definetly Soldier Stands Solitarily or Dystopia Symphony
Next LoveBites song: “Break The Wall” Live! 🤘
No music video but Soldier stands Solidary ! 🤘🔥🔥🔥🇿🇦🐺🤘
Swan Song with the Chopin intro really showcases their talent and is really a master class by Haruna who IMO is the bigger master of her instrument. This track Judgement Day probably has the loudest bass mix in their catalog. Midori and Miyako , M&M you may see the short hand version, are up there with any of the great dual guitar teams ever. If you want to see them show off Signs of Deliverance, or the audio only track off Judgement Day "Victim of Time". VoT the whole solo section is twin guitars and is nuts.
I know you are a bass guys so here are some of my recommendations. I hope you like them.
Sokoninaru - "Tenohira de Odoru (MV) >> ruclips.net/video/n7MyoBki9wk/видео.html (mind blowing, trio, female bassist)
Gacharic Spin - "MIndSet" (MV) >> ruclips.net/video/QmL0V667QzI/видео.html (all female, pop/rock/metal/fusion)
Aldious - "Dominator" (MV 2014) >> ruclips.net/video/6GwPzPFhgAU/видео.html (one of the original all female metal band formed in 2008)
Trident - "Ambivalent" (MV) >> ruclips.net/video/yGwWnOSvh5A/видео.html (all female trio rock band, funky bass)
Bridear - "Brave new world revisted" (MV) >> ruclips.net/video/_6-OXcyMkYI/видео.html (all female metal band. bass. this is an amazing prog song.)
Tokyo Groove Jiyoshi - "What is hip" (LIVE) >> ruclips.net/video/g46tXWxtsfY/видео.html (all female fusion jazz group - funky to the max)
Lonesome_Blue - "Face the Fear" (MV) >> ruclips.net/video/57My6iSPBl4/видео.html (all female rock band, formed in 2022, guitarist is an OG metal queen)
Astersim - "Church" Studio LIVE >> ruclips.net/video/pkiKSBX8JPA/видео.html (trio. the guitarist is a genius, she is only 20 yr) - you will be touched
Wow, thank you so much for these! I’ll check out as many as I can 🙏🏼💥
Welcome to LOVEBITES and the wolfpack 🐺
Wolfpack is the name of the worldwide fanbase of this incredible band. We love them ❤🤘🏼
Some of us will follow with suggestions for more LOVEBITES music …
this band has no peer. after founder and bassplayer miho left on friendly terms (august 2021 it was, I believe), they went into a hiatus and were looking for a new bassplayer in an open (for appliciants of all gender, nationalities, age or status -pro or amateur-) audition in three stages. fami was chosen at the end (I highly recommend her channel for some insane bass chops). I also would recommend like the dragonlord the "stand and deliver (shoot em down) official music video with fami and the others in casual wear having fun. all other recommendations are very good too, this band simply doesn´t know, how to write a bad, mediocre or stale song.
Musicians in Japan have taken music to another level. Whether it is rock, metal, metalcore, pop, or jazz, it is all a step (or two) above most other bands in the rest of the world.
I would suggest another great young Japanese bassist Juna Serita. She is an extremely talented funk/jazz bassist, and you can watch her journey in attempting to master new instruments on her YT page (drums, guitar, sax, piano). Take a listen to her live version of her original "Hunter" ruclips.net/video/MjV1ujJatcQ/видео.html with some members of the Japanese Jazz supergroup 'Jazz Avengers', which is full of top young female talent. Their leader, drummer Senri Kawaguchi, isn't in this performance, but she's another world class musician from Japan. Jazz Avengers', Juna Serita and Senri Kawaguchi are all worth a listen independently, but the main bass line to "Hunter" is one of the tastiest I've heard in a while.
Stand and Deliver could be a good choice . Its from the same Album
Congratulations, you just found the best new metal band to come along in decades. In their first five years of existence, they put themselves on par with the greatest bands of metal’s golden age. Other reviewers have described them as alien superheroes disguised as young women, angels, princesses of metal, and angry bridesmaids. They recently went on a year-and-a half hiatus while they searched for a new bassist. They announced the new bassist in October 2022 (see below) and dropped their first new song on December 22. Their new album, “Judgement Day”, was released two months later. 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 founder of the band) had a vision of a new band in the style of the great 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 groups. The four of them then found Asami, the singer, who was doing soul and blues at the time (she was also trained in ballet).
Miyako has composed a little more than half of their music, with Miho composing a lot of their thrashier songs in collaboration with Mao, the lead composer of another band called Lightbringer. Midori has also been getting into the act, and they regularly perform a song written by Haruna as well. Asami writes most of the lyrics and is also getting involved in composing.
In mid-2021, Miho left the band she had founded, for personal reasons. They went on hiatus while they searched for a new bassist, and during that time, two of them had babies, even as the band were writing and rehearsing their new album. They recently announced the new bassist, Fami, who is a young phenom and herself a composer and multi-instrumentalist. Their first song with Fami is “Judgement Day” ruclips.net/video/m3uGjp-P7DI/видео.html
The instrumentalists studied all the great historical metal bands going back to Purple and Sabbath, through Maiden, Priest, Metallica, Helloween, Slayer etc. They have incorporated some of the best of each of those bands into their arsenal, and have created a sound that is fresh and cutting edge while paying tribute to the old masters. They toured with Dragonforce in 2019, and word from those in attendance was that next time around, it will be the ladies headlining.
They do everything from soulful power ballads to heavy thrash. 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 (though she can also shred like crazy). Midori uses a cleaner tone, Miyako uses more distortion, pinch harmonics and pedal effects. The contrast makes their duets rich and dynamic. It doesn’t hurt that either one can smoke most of the shredders in the classic metal bands. As another reviewer said, "It seems criminal these two are allowed to be in the same band."
Here are more clips you should check out:
“Set the World on Fire” ruclips.net/video/99zsH6iG_6c/видео.html from their 2021 concert DVD “Heavy Metal Never Dies”.
“Don’t Bite the Dust” ruclips.net/video/oHnKGEj1CMc/видео.html, from the same concert;
"Edge of the World" and "We the United", back to back: ruclips.net/video/sl0-U-ykJCU/видео.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: ruclips.net/video/lXh_uMM94jU/видео.html;
Perhaps their greatest masterpiece, a showcase of multi-instrumental virtuosity and even classical dance “A Frozen Serenade” ruclips.net/video/Ae8pQVu-RN8/видео.html;
And their most reacted-to video, “Holy War”: ruclips.net/video/bgAxpEpEcno/видео.html
Miyako is also a virtuoso 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” (official name Étude Opus 10, No. 12 in C minor). Miyako wrote “Swan Song” using elements from several classical pieces including the Etude. This link should work: ruclips.net/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/видео.html.
For a thrasher with heavy Slayer and Metallica vibes, “Break the Wall” ruclips.net/video/5Pc0XK0lNmU/видео.html includes two gorgeous and completely contrasting solos by M&M.
For a heart-stopping ballad, “Epilogue” ruclips.net/video/1ynnXDfEnnY/видео.html (this includes a second song, your choice whether or not to react to both)
While you will sometimes hear you should only react to live clips, actually their MV’s are epic and worth seeing. Here are four of the most spectacular:
"Shadowmaker" ruclips.net/video/Brmoln5Gxus/видео.html
This is the song that blew up and melted faces all over the world
"When Destinies Align" ruclips.net/video/hLFelI93VkM/видео.html
"Glory to the World" ruclips.net/video/-wJtD2XEXH4/видео.html
"Winds of Transylvania" ruclips.net/video/HsE4Ub_Pjh8/видео.html.
Finally, the audio tracks of some of the new album are up on youtube, and worth checking out. The band clearly came out swinging and wanted to make a statement. Every song on the album is a showcase of their incredible talent and songwriting capabilities. “Stand and Deliver” is a thrasher with a fun video of them in the studio. “Soldier Stands Solitarily”, the final song on the album, is being touted by some as the best thing they’ve done so far-I encourage you to see and decide for yourself!
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!
Great read!! Thank you for the lengthy info. As I said, one of my favorite parts of doing these videos is how much I learn from the band’s fans, and how much insight it provides about the band. 💥🤘🏼
If you want to know the young bassist Fami, you should listen to her distribution video [alien alien Bass cover]. (I think you can find it quickly if you search)
I think she was 17 at the time (20 now). At that point, I think she knew she was a complete bass player.

check out SHADOWMAKER live version from 2021. great raection and welcome to the wolfpack. right now the best metal in the world!!!!!!!
"Shadowmaker" LIVE 2021: ruclips.net/video/AHceq4gZkhc/видео.html
Please react to Nemophilia they're pure 🔥 more aggressive metal , best out of Japan 🤘
Well try Break the Wall LIVE to experience how great Miho/bassist (founder who put this band together) is on the bass. The talent in Japan is nuts as Miho goes here comes 20 y o Fami and LB doesn't miss a beat. If you want to see what a real guitat battle LIVE sounds like I strongly recommend Scream for Me LIVE. Forget battle it is a complete war. The Guitar Rescue Society put Midori and Miyako on wanted posters for the total abuse inflicted upon their instruments. A Wolfpack welcome to one of the best bands on the planet.
Check out the all female Japanese metal band Nemophila!
Baccus Guitars: This is a brand of bass guitars located in Japan. This product is also famous in Japan. I think Fami uses some Bacchus products. (She won the Bacchus signature model at a young age.)
Fami just joined LOVEBITES about half a year ago, so the LOVEBITES songs she is performing are about 10 songs included in "Album: Judgment Day". There is a surprise no matter which song you choose.
Before Fami joined LOVEBITES, her predecessor Miho was active as a bassist. (Many people will explain the history of the band.)
If you are familiar with metal/rock, it may be certain to listen to the songs they cover in order to check the power of LOVEBITES. (There are two songs covered by LOVEBITES)
*Eagle Fly Free (Helloween cover)
* Painkiller (Judas Priest cover)

Thank you!!
Galneryus, the kings of japanese power metal. Recommend "Ultimate Sacrifice" live for an epic song.
Gacharic Spin. "Mindset" live. Thank me later. Another all-female band from Nippon.
Thank you! On my list!!
Great reaction video dude.
I've been a Metal-er since I first heard Metal in the mid-80's when I was in Junior High (the first two Metal songs I ever heard were Haunting The Chapel by Slayer and Ride The Lightning by Metallica). Back then there was no such thing as "power metal", but instead from the early 80's through the late 90's Heavy Metal had only 6 TRUE subcategories of Metal, which were:
1 - Heavy Metal;
2 - Punk Metal;
3 - Speed Metal;
4 - Thrash Metal;
5 - Death Metal;
6 - Black Metal.
That being said however, I'd also like to point out how Lovebites takes the influences of early Speed and Thrash Metal bands from that time such as Slayer and Metallica and Iron Maiden and Helloween and Testament and occasionally a hint of Bolt Thrower (as well as many other bands from back in the early decade of Heavy Metal), and while giving respect and homage to those bands and other musicians of other genres who helped influence/inspire them also added their own sound/style into the mix and produced their own unique style of music.
If you want to hear more Lovebites (and also hear the difference in the style of playing the Bass between Fami (their new Bassist) and Miho (their original Bassist and the Co-founder ot the band) I'd suggest the live version of Set The World on Fire.
But regardless of my opinion, again great reaction video dude.
Oh and by the way, you just got a new subscriber.
Well, thanks for reacting to these insanely talented ladies. 2 quick things: 1. they are not just “power” metal, ‘cause they have also thrash/speed/classic metal songs. 2. They are even better live (the Zepp Divercity concerts in Tokyo are the best)
This rabbit hole will be full of surprises 😉🐺🤘🏻
I wonder what you think about the bass intro of the LOVEBITES song "Stand And Deliver (Shoot 'em Down)" .
I'll add it to my list!! Thank you Albert!
🐺🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Unlimited talent
My holy trinity of japanese bands, Band-Maid, Lovebites and ASTERISM.
So yes, you have to listen to ASTERISM now 😉
"Church" or "Dawn" would be a good start. Thanks 🤘🏻 🙂
Thank you! Asterism is for sure on my list soon. Thank you for stopping by!
Watch Fami's cover of "Alien Alien" on her solo channel. Amazing!
Every song has at least one solo by each guitarist, almost all have a guitar-harmony-duet.
Some, guitars are unison/harmony throughout entire song. LIVE they are phenomenal.
Their most recent MV is a contrast to "Judgement Day" in music & video presentation,
as suggested, "Stand And Deliver" MV 2023: ruclips.net/video/4ImGA7cPyrs/видео.html
These both have [cc] lyrics if a message of self-empowerment & personal-responsibility interests you,
that is the basic theme of most LOVEBITES songs, woven through a wide variety of genre,
metal sub-genre, classic-metal, Classical, R&B/soul, Hard-rock, Progressive, Thrash & Ballads.
They are 'lone wolves' in Metal, hence, fans are Wolf-Pack. 🐺
Haruna "little BIG Engine" drums 🧡 (4'9"; 1.45m)
Asami "The One & Only Voice" vocals/piano ❤ (4'10"; 1.47m)
Midori "Crazy Shredder" guitar 💚 (4'11"; 1.5m)
Miyako "The Golden Touch" guitar/piano 💙 (5'2"; 1.58m)
Fami - bass (5'2"; 1.58m) From "Judgement Day" album forward.
all studio & LIVE performances through 12/2021:
Miho "Natural Born Head-Banger" bass 💜 (5'1"; 1.55m)
nicknames given by the band
🐺
Thank you for this!
Wolfpack UK 🐺 here, excellent review these ladies will blow your mind, they are arguably the best metal band on the planet right now,the Wolfpack will be able to guide you through the Forest of Lovebites music 🤘🎸🥁🎤🎹🎶🔥
Lovebites have taken the best of different "old school" metal styles from the eighties to the next level! I'd say you can't go wrong with any of their songs. BTW, there is a clip in which someone has extracted the bass and the drums of "Judgement Day": ruclips.net/video/r_KK0mfSSHQ/видео.html
For some really interesting and clearly audible bass-playing, I recommend the Progressive Thrash Metal band Watchtower. When their second album "Control and Resistance" was released in 1989, they were one of the most, if not the most technical Thrash Metal band around, which might also explain why some people refered to their music as Techno Thrash back then (has got nothing to do with Techno music!). If you are interested, try the song "Dangerous Toy": ruclips.net/video/1gLLX3thfZM/видео.html Already a year before (1988), the German band Sieges Even had released their debut "Life Cylce" also playing technical/Progressive Thrash Metal in a similar vein, though less jazz-y than Watchtower, which IMO is also highly recommendable, if you like interesting and prominent bass-playing.
welcome to LOVEBITES, these ladies are friggin awesome, write their own music and lyrics, all songs are good, the Wolf Pack will come to assist you in your journey with LOVEBITES, Holy War is excellent choice, Shadow Maker from 2021 also excellent, LOVEBITES best experienced with live versions......enjoy...I certainly do!!!!!!!
Welcome to Lovebites. Fami rhymes with Tommy. Fami is only 20 years old and loaded with talent. Since she was just hired in October and the album released 4 months later in February, she wasn't given much opportunity to really show off her skills in the songs, they were all written before she joined but they did give her a few places to add her touch to it. Another good song by Lovebites that features Fami is their other music video "Stand and Deliver (Shoot 'em Down)".
Fami doesn’t rhyme with Tommy unless you’re American.
Not to forget, she has her own album plus 650k to her youtube channel
Fami took the name from Family Dollar* convenience store
*oops
@@Chicken.Noodle190 Family Mart. Japanese don’t use dollars…🙂
@@alekhidell thanks
Here for my daily Lovebites fix
I hope you got the fix!!
In which guitarist Miyako simultaneously plays guitar and piano at 3:14. I know, it's ridiculous. But she is a classical concert pianist,too. ruclips.net/video/4OBf_Gn8efs/видео.html
Interesting to hear a bassist's pov for once. I would ask you to listen again and listen to the drummer, Haruna. Her accents are out of this world sometimes. and for a different sound of lovebites I would recommend Stand and Deliver. It's more of a Motörhead/thrash rocker. Very bass forward too.
Wolfpack is here.
🤩
Aside from her signature Bacchus headless bass, Fami also plays a Freedom Custom Guitar Research Rhino 5st bass in the video. F.C.G.R. is a small very high end maker from Japan. Fami uses the F.C.G.R. bass in the Stand and Deliver video.
One of the best musicians reacting to Lovebites!
Aun no hay un "live" de esta cancion, ya que es muy nuevo. Solo hay un Playback de un Tv Show, sigue reaccionando a Lovebites hay muchos temas interesantes del Cual el Bajo esta muy presente, como the Awakening The Hammer of Wrath "In Live"
Saludos y muy buen video, se nota que sacas muchas canciones de oido, eres muy bueno.
You might find gacharic spin and their song mindset is a masterpiece of madness, they will remind you of red hot chilly peppers but with more talent
I suggest too Koga to him.

Any of them.. all are good.
Fami is playing her signature Bachuss Woodline 5AC-HL
FAMI , and the other bass she’s playing in the video is a Freedom Research Guitar 5 string bass. 🤘
Welcome to lovebites and thank you for doing this reaction to lovebites, you will find out who's is lovebites LOVEBITES ROCK
Highly recommand to give Galneryus a try. They are pretty melodic neo classical& prog power metal band come from Japan
You really want to be blown away by these ladies?? Then "Holy War" live at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020... You won't be the same!!
I’ll look it up!! For the next LOVEBITES video, I’ll try to do a live show video ☺️
Lovebites are one of the most talented heavy metal bands on the planet.
Thank you for your great reaction and welcome to the world of LOVEBITES. If you could react to these 5 geniuses from Japan continuously it would be happy for me. My recommendation is ; "Set the world on Fire", "When Destinies Align" "Shadow Maker" and"Holy War". Honestly speaking they have only masterpieces and I'm sure you could enjoy them.
I appreciate the kind words! I'll do more LOVEBITES soon enough, and it'll probably be one of these songs. I have to sort of tally the requests now and see which gets recommended the most. Thank you!
The pronunciation of "ふぁみ"(Fami) cannot be strictly translated into English sounds, but it is quite close to the pronunciation of the /fʌ/ in "fun" and the /mi/ in "meet" combined.
Fami started learning the bass on her own at the age of 13. She wanted to join the illustration club in middle school, but a friend convinced her to join the band club because they needed a bass player. She started uploading videos to RUclips as "ふぁみ。" (Fami。) at the age of 16 (in 2018), and gradually gained popularity. At the age of 17, she had progressed enough to release a famous video of "エイリアンエイリアン"(Alien Alien) bass cover. Now there are many people who were influenced by her videos to start playing bass.
Bacchus is a Japanese handmade guitar brand, and they have a Fami signature model (introduced in a video titled "【Fami‖ × Bacchus】シグネイチャーモデルベース【MV】"). It seems that Fami started playing their current headless Bacchus guitar in 2020.
Lovebites is an all-female band that plays traditional heavy metal and power metal, but a notable feature of the band is that its members come from different backgrounds, including R&B, classical piano and RUclips, creating a unique blend of personalities. Although all members have outstanding talent, the band went on hiatus in 2021 partly due to the departure of bassist Miho, who was also the founding member. Auditions were held in 2022 and Fami was selected. The first release of the new lovebites was the album "Judgement Day" in February 2023. Therefore, most of the available Lovebites videos feature Miho as the bassist. Miho is also very talented, though.
Bacchus is a really good quality bass. MIJ instruments are on par with Fender MIA. I have two MIJ basses. Fami plays her signature Bacchus bass. For the bassists, you need to check out Gacharic Spin - F-Chopper will blow your mind. And Babymetal - Boh is one of the best, check out Rondo of Nightmare. Also check out Maximum the Hormone. Japanese rock/metal is very vibrant right now. Also check out Kiyoshi - she is a bassist/singer/composer, and the most impressive bassist in Japan to my mind. But she is a totally different vibe
Thank you for this reaction video. 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.
2018 - Wacken - Open Air in Germany
2018 - Bloodstock Open Air in England
2019 - Graspop Metal Meeting Festival in Belgium
2019 - Download Festival in Spain
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.
I've been a big LOVEbites fan for 3 years and fans never get enough of it so : S u g g e s t i o n s for next reaction V i d e o 's:

Nice! And you should check out the band“asterism”🤘🏻
This is a band now is my favorite, taking the place of once held Iron Maiden (Steve Harris plug here). I love bass heads, like yourself.
Check out Stand and Deliver next, you'll love the intro. There are so many great live performances with their former bassist Miho. They are known for trading guitar solos between Midori and Miyako and then doing combined guitar solos.
Check out live performances - Break The Wall - Live at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020, Holy War 2021 LIVE in Tokyo with lyrics, Shadowmaker [LIVE IN TOKYO 2021]
The Awakening/The Hammer Of Wrath Live at ZeppCity, Swan Song & Chopin Intro [LIVE IN TOKYO 2020], Epilogue & DON'T BITE THE DUST [LIVE IN TOKYO 2019] to start
Miho, the original bassist, is also fantastic, though she has a different style. One of the first things I noticed the first time I heard Lovebites, as a bassist myself, was that Miho was playing fingerstyle at these insane tempos that would have most metal bassists using a pick. Her playing fingerstyle makes sense, because her idol is Steve Harris of Iron Maiden, who also plays fingerstyle.
Nice! I should go back and check out some material from when she was in the band. Sounds like she was just as talented. Thanks for stopping by Rik!
Great reaction! Glad this channel exists. A couple more suggestions.
"Stand and Deliver (Shoot 'em down)" - Lovebites, dirty DIRTY bass
"Mindset" - Gacharic Spin, as others said. F. Chopper Koga is a bass Goddess
"Awakening" - Unleash the Archers, former bassist Niko Whitworth's finger style on a headless Kiesel is inspiring.
Thanks so much Zach! “Awakening” is recorded and goes up later this week! Gacharic Spin is also very soon too. Appreciate the suggestions and kind words 🙏🏼💥
Hi again. i know I shouldnt put in links: But search up this on YT when Fami plays some amazing bass by herself. :
現役JKが「エイリアンエイリアン 」スラップしてベース弾いてみた/ふぁみ。 [alien alien Bass cover]
Thank you Jonny!! I’ll check it out!
I have a weird one for you to check out from japan. It's power metalish and It's from a video game. Guilty gear - Roar of the spark (Ky kiske theme). Guilty gear series is a fighting game that's inspired by rock music and they write amazing music for it.
Sweet, I'll check it out as soon as I can!
Band Maid, LOVEBITES, Nemophila, they have a big fan base in Japanese matal band.
The largest fan base have BABYMETEL.
However, the band which I recommend is Gacharic Spin.
Please check out Gacharic Spin "Mind set" and "I wish I" .
Next step is another all female band from Japan: Gacharic Spin with famous bassist Koga.
On my list!!
These girls are off the chart good
You need more Lovebites 🤘😎
Fun fact the lead singer used to be a R&B singer before LOVEBITES
Really? I can maybe see that. Talented AF!
I only recently discovered Lovebites because Elizabeth over at The Charasmatic Voice did a reaction to them last week and I instantly fell in love. Asami is so tiny at 4'11" and yet has an incredbily powerful voice. It's, where does she hide all that power?
100% sounds like it's influenced by Iron Maiden's Aces High... especially the chorus
If you dig deeper in the rabbit hole you will appreciate how damn good of a drummer Haruna is. As a bass player if I could jam with any drummer, it would be Haruna. The M&M show as we call it of the 2 guitars can overshadow the rest but some feel Haruna is a greater master of her instrument than the rest. Cross Keith Moon with Neil Peart.
Fami playes an " Bacchus Woodline 5AC-HL"
Sugestions of more jp with other vibes:
Versailles - masquerade (live version). Like the job of the bassist masashi in this band. He is not the original member, but takes pretty well the ex jasmine you ( unfortunately deceased too soon 😢😢😢😢). The concept of this band i don't see much today. Too bad 😢
Sokoninaru - hummm...any music kkkk. a math prog band that got my atention recently. The mix of the 3 members is great and for me is fun to listen all the stops and chaos insert in ther songs kkk. The fun fact is the girl bassist misaki is original a guitarrist and to enter the band she have to adapt to bass because the leader of the group wanted a female bass player (a lineup equal to one of his biggest influences, the group ling tosite sigure). the result is a very peculiar and interesting bass kkkk
oh since you're going down the Japanese rock/metal rabbit hole, you should definitely check out Haraguchi from Nemophila
Thank you for the rec!
NOW YOU KNOW HOW FAMI GREATNESS😁😂 SHE IS MONSTER😁😂
You might want to check any song from Unlucky Morpheus, another Japanese metal band that's kinda prog. I think you'd like them too!
This whole album is just awesome 🤘
LOVEBITES 🐺 INCREDIBLE
Please check out "From now on" with Band Maid. Instrumental music video... More awsome bass playing from Misa..
Thank you for nice reaction.

Fami is playing her decdicated signature handmade bass guitar named "FAmi" from Bacchus...
Misa and Fami are on another level with the bass skills. Both are virtuoso on bass. I am glad you are able to check out 2 of my favorite musicians!
Love the band, haven't heard of them before so thank you for exposing me to it. Some of my favorite bassists from Japan are probably Haraguchi of Nemophila, and Akira from The Oral Cigarettes. Both have really great chops at least imo.
Lovebites is doing there first us gig in Atlanta Georgia next Sept . Progmetal festival.
Got my tickets Oct 21 this year
FAMI came into the band with 57million hits to her own bass clips and solo album, She is 20years old..... yeah. WTF ?
Insane!
Watch their live videos "Holy War" is a good starting spot. There are No bad tracks..
For fun check out Fami playing "Alien Alien" bass cover, It's impressive
Keep the lovebites coming, just wait until you see them live🤘🏻
I'll do more soon. Thanks Shaun! I'd love to see them someday.
Welcome to the LOVEBITES phenomena. If you dig deeper you may find ballet, classical piano and lots of metal.
There are two song that you have to hear: "Bravehearted" (first section - long version 2023) studio live for the FAMI presentation and "Stand and deliver", always studio live. Thank you for the technical comments! Ah, if you want to watch FAMI before Lovebites, 3 years ago: ALIEN, ALIEN from her home (17 y.o.).
"Bravehearted" Studio-LIVE 1st song with Fami official "5th Element":
ruclips.net/video/_66Ug5c3aJo/видео.html (with embedded lyrics)
This song, words & music by drummer Haruna.
You just discovered the most talented band on earth....
Staying in Japan, I'd like to recommend two of my favorite groups when I want to hear *_great_* bass playing. They're both instrumental trios, but they're quite different from one another.
The first group is Asterism. I'm going to recommend their song "Church."
ruclips.net/video/pkiKSBX8JPA/видео.html
The second group is Paranoid Void. Here's the link to their song "ukiyo."
ruclips.net/video/LIP0uf6Lpco/видео.html
I'll check them out and add to my list!
Either Hammer of Wrath or Stand and Deliver.
Fami a multitalented bassist and Lovebites become greater. 👍👍
It's very nice to have a reaction with a special focus on the bass playing. Usually, the bass is a bit underappreciated, you know, it's there, but the lead guitars (and vocals) distract from it. Only if you focus on the bass, you really see, what the bass delivers. Haruna (dr) and Miho (ex-bass) had a special relationship, I'm happy, that Fami (bass) and Haruna (dr) also work together so well on the rhythm. Fami has a different flavor, but that will only add to LOVEBITES' sound...
4 different bass drum patterns under the solo parts .
welcome to the world of Lovebites the world of beautiful ballads, heavy, power, speed, thrash metal.
You'll like Fami's solo record and videos ... the most ridiculous one is "Alien alien"
Great reaction. Fami played bass only in her room until she joined LOVEBITES. So this year was the first time for her to perform in front of an audience, including when she was an amateur musician. And this song is the first time for her to play metal music.
I am glad that I wanted to know her playing style characteristics with such a unique background.
If you want to know the actual pronunciation of "Fami", you can listen to it at the beginning of a recent video entitled "皆様に大切なお知らせがあります / Fami。". Many people may be surprised that the pronunciation is quite different from what they thought.
The Japanese "a" (あ) is said to be close to the English /ʌ/ sound (as in fun and hut) and particularly similar to the British English (Received Pronunciation) version. It is also relatively close to the English /a:/ sound, but the Japanese "a" (あ) does not require opening the mouth as wide or prolonging the sound.
Fami has her own U - Tube channel, where she posts covers as well as original music & she's only 20 yrs old !! 😏❤️🎙🎸🎹🥁😎🤘
Great, Lovebites, the queens of power metal - Haruna - drums, Miyako classical and electric guitar, Midori - electric guitar, piano and keyboards, Fami - bass, Asami - vocals.

The whole band is epic in their performance but the dueling guitars are top tier IMO.
For other Lovebites songs "Stand and Deliver" and "Holy War" (live) are both good ones, Miyako (stage right guitarist, dark hair) is also an excellent pianist which can be seen in "Swan Song (with Chopin intro)" or "Edge of the World."
Lovebites is also kind of related to another Japanese band that is gaining popularity outside of Japan, Nemophila, both bands contain ex-members of Destrose and are on good terms. Destrose was a pioneering all female Japanese Heavy Metal band that never had commercial success and suffered from high member turn over (~19 members), it has spawned about a dozen bands and a handful of solo acts. Nemophila can be hard to classify as they are very diverse, but they are probably closest to Metalcore. Their latest song is "Rise" but "Revive" and "Dissension" are also good, they also have a large selection of covers.
Awesome! I'll dig in soon and check it out!
Beauty, talent, grace, and God, yes it's all good and it's all there for those of us who are fortunate enough to see and hear. They will stand the test of time and they will receive a reward for eternity for by their own free will they have given their lives back to the one who gave them life first and this is an illustration of the power that is available when you are being real about what is reality. Thank you ladies, i am forever grateful that i am in the same time period as you. This band will go down in history and always live up to their own expectations to excel to the top of perfection in so many ways. I commend and love you all.
Try Winds of Transylvania live it will blow you away how easy they make it look
Band Maid thrash?
I thought so 😌
