This was the band I was happiest i found out about in 2022. Just so much talent. And this new song is amazing. I can't wait for the new album in January
Jeff I feel the same I found out about Japanese music through doing youtube and it's been incredible. I'll even go further and say I didn't particularly care for power metal but the way lovebites plays being so thrashy and technical it's shed a new light on the genre for me.
Amazing Lovebites, Fami shows her very high level, along with Haruna, remarkable Asami, M&M, another level, great theme and the most important thing is that Judgment day is coming, God Bless you.
You're right in that I did and still do love Miho. I think the world of her writing, playing, and performing abilities, and I'll continue to follow and support her with whatever she does. That said, I'm excited about Fami. She has a different style of play and a different energy, and if this song is any indication, it's like LOVEBITES has gone through a revitalization that we didn't know that they needed. Judging by their social media, the ladies are going out of their way to make Fami feel welcome. 2023 is here and I can't wait for the new albums from Babymetal and LOVEBITES.
This song feels like I'm on the highway, pedal to the metal without slowing down for 7 minutes. Fami can play anything with such power, she's unbelievable, I follow her channel, she mostly covers fast anime songs, she's the queen of slapping and tapping, and listen to the song, there's a lot of these going on in it! As always, loved your reaction, have a happy new-year man, hope your 2023 gonna be awesome, with lots of other cool and genuine reactions from you, can't wait!! PEACE and METAL!! ✌& 🤘

You hit it on the head of the nail regarding Fami. I've listened to thIS song so many times and cannot get enough of her bass playing and of course the song itself. Miho is an amazing bass player but Fami is in a different league. As unbelievable as Lovebites has been, I think with Fami now in the band, it will bring them to a whole new level.
Hey!! Awesome track by Lovebites, such a cool song for the comeback!! The fans had many expectations about Fami and she nailed it, throwing few slaps here and there, some cool runs, especially the chorus. She did awesome!! The other ladies we already know how amazing they are no surprises here, fast song, catchy, great use of symphonic elements, has this sense of tension, really strong song!! 🤘🐺🤘 By the way, the song has been #1 on the Japan itunes heavy metal chart since it came out!!
@@Killermcknight ya if you are using a good quality head phones you can clearly hear it even Haruna hitting on that bell what to call that bell can be heard clearly also.
Yes, Fami was superb and got fronted. Lovebites blends her play magnificently well. All of them hitting their musicianships ability. Oh my, did they have any limits? Mindblowing, great reaction, thanks bro🤘🤘👍👍
During the intro and the outro you can hear the guitar's sound going from the left to the right of your headphones soooo smoothly, travelling through your head. It makes my brain shiver.
Judgement Day Lyrics Never live, never die, never end, no way to go. Every night, everywhere, everything arriving in darkness. What is right, what is wrong, what is sin, who's to decide. Hide and seek, truth or dare, playing tag, chased by the Evil. Another back and forth of gaining and losing Running out of my time, each tick of the clock's taking down Piece of my life again. Who's allied, who's against, who's to pay, I'II wait it out. Up and down, in and out, left or right, answers are nowhere What do you see in this world full of insanity? When do we come to ask what's awaiting us, don't look away! This is the Truth. Rise, this is Judgement Day. Life, given the foreverness. Rise, this is Judgement Day. Life, living every history. Travelling in the past find salvation Now with the great will the path lay in front of me Starting here this is the day. Never live, never die, never end, no way to go Every night, everywhere, everything arriving in darkness What do you see in this world full of insanity?

Travelling in the past find salvation Now with the great will, the path lay in front of me Starting here, this is the day Judgement Day, Judgement Day, Judgement Day, Judgement Day!
This is exactly how I always imagined bass should be mixed in metal. Many bands have quite interesting bass, yet it's often so hard to hear, that it's such a shame. Makes me wonder how much I (and anyone else who doesn't hear it as well) missed until now.
To get an idea how busy Miho really was (and we missed in the mixes), here's Carlos Allef, a guy who did a complete playthrough of the bass part from the Glory To The World EP. He did submit an audition track for the bassist role, but obviously he wasn't going to stand a chance. ruclips.net/video/K5rhX1qvU24/видео.html
@@CrYou575 WOW!!! That's crazy! I never heard any of that from Miho in the mix. I have, as well as many others, always said that Miho was a huge part of the band through her song writing and playing. It's too bad we didn't hear just how much.
If you are ever stuck for words to describe a Lovebites song, remember 'relentless'. Until we hear the new album we don't know if Fami's bass will always be high in the mix. Lets hope so. She stole my heart right from the introduction video. 😍 However, Miho can never be replaced in my view.
Her name is pronounced Fah-Mee if that helps. You asked a question that was a half-thought. Had you asked the whole question I might have been able to help. The members are Haruna on Drums and the only original founder left, Miho was the other and the bassist that just left, replaced by Fami. Asami is the lead vocalist, although all but Haruna sing as far as I know. Midori is a competitive bodybuilder and I don't know her position within the lineup but She and Miyako trade off lead frequently. Miyako is a concert pianist (keyboards) and Asami plays piano as well. Asami trained in the USA for Ballet, and why she didn't pursue that I don't know but we have all been blessed by that change in her direction. The ladies all agreed to do their songs in English, I'm guessing to hit the wider audience. Each of them is a master of their instruments. And Asami is one of the most graceful ladies I have ever seen, although she doesn't float around the stage in this production. Another note about Fami: in this production, she plays 2 basses. The one in the studio has no headstock, while the one in the video has a five-string headstock. Either way, she is definitely a plus for the band.
"Far me", that's a great idea for English speakers. For me as a German speaker it's much easier to say. As much as I know the Japanese language, "Fami" like in "family" is not a real thing, those syllables don't even exist...
👍It can be added that this was the first competition in which Midori participated. The "Muscle Festa Yokohama" (Japan) competitions was held in July 2022. Midori was among the finalists, taking 6th place (the first 6 places are finalists) in the category "Bikini Fitness Under 40"
Alex thanks for sharing that with me and others who might not have seen this! That was crazy to see! SHE"S A BEAST! and reading the comments people were saying that was her first time competing!
I do miss Miho as well, and I hope she will share whatever it is that she is doing now with us soon. But I also had the impression that for whatever reason, she was not very happy in Lovebites. Hopefully, she is now in a better place for her. As for Fami... I think she is a perfect fit for the band. I can't wait to see what comes next.
@@55tallanh You are absolutely right about Fami, which was why I was so emphatic about making sure that no one confused my sadness for the loss of Miho with any disrespect for Fami. As to the several postulated rationales put forth for Miho's leaving Lovebites, I put the greatest credence in the idea that she found it unsettling that the band seems to be moving in the direction of melodic power metal and quasi-symphonic metal. (I'm talking about a modest trend -- I'm not saying that all [or even most] of their newer product has fewer "sharp teeth" in it than was true of their older material [they can still splinter the floor boards any time that they want to]). If there were interpersonal issues in the band, I heard nothing about them. (Of course, the Japanese do a much better job of smoothing over such issues publicly [e.g. if such problems existed, we'd hear something like "They wanted to experiment with new musical directions" or "There have been health issues"; in the West, we might instead get something like: "If I ever see that mot........ng as....e again, I'm gonna tear their face off!"). Happy New Year! Now, if someone can clarify for me what the heck is going on with Aldious....
@@bruceveary1758 Everything is much more complicated. Few facts: - Miho's father died in August, 2018. In December 2018, the 2nd studio album of LOVEBITES "Clockwork Immortality" was released. This album contains the song "Journey to the Otherside" (lyrics - Miho / music - Miho, Mao). Miho dedicated this song to her father. Miho starts crying during the song "Journey to the Otherside" (DVD/Blue-ray "Daughters of the Dawn-Live in Tokyo 2019") . "The Final Collision" (lyrics - Miho / music - Miho, Mao), another song from this album . This song is also related to Miho's personal suffering. - On August 15, 2021, Miho tweeted that : "Now playing Journey To The Otherside (LOVEBITES - Clockwork Immortality). Today is the anniversary of the death of my father, who was a paramedic. Three years later, I still feel lonely. I wondered if he lived in good health, he would have done everything possible to save lives during this Сorona crisis. Thanks to all the medical workers who are now fighting on the front lines." - Two days later, August 17, 2021 Miho tweets: "Thank you so much for your support so far." And retweets the band's official statements : "Notice of Miho's exit and band suspension." Around the same time, the band releases an official statement: "Important announcement of Miho's departure and band hiatus : To our dear fans, firstly thank you all for always supporting LOVEBITES. Today we have to let you know that our bassist, Miho, is leaving LOVEBITES. We're so sorry to be bringing such sad news to our fans and everyone who has supported us so far. After Miho told us she was thinking of leaving, the band and our staff held countless meetings , to find a way for her to stay. But in the end, we decided to respect Miho's wish." ( * This is a translation from Japanese ) Miho was very attached to her father and this pain caused by his death accompanied her for the last three years of being in LOVEBITES. According to the tweet, Miho's father died on August 15, 2018. LOVEBITES in August 2018 was in Europe. They have performed at: "Wacken Open Air" (Germany) - August 4, 2018 "Bloodstock Open Air " ( Great Britain ) - August 10, 2018 I will not continue further. Smart people will understand how Miho felt when she returned from Europe to Japan. I know that it is often very difficult for people after personal tragedies in their lives and often they try to change their lives: to change their environment, change jobs, place of residence, etc. etc. In order to be distracted . So that what surrounds them is less reminiscent of their personal tragedy. I've been through this myself. Therefore, it is very likely that the reason (or one of the reasons) for Miho's departure from the band was the death of her father. Why did I write all this? Over the past 16 months since Miho's departure from the band, I have repeatedly seen some fans reproach Miho for setting everyone up by "unexpectedly" leaving LOVEBITES. So I've tried to summarize what I've learned . So that people at least understand something .
@@GrayFox14 This was a worthy response -- just the thing that I needed to change my thinking, and to give me a sound reason for doing so. Sincerely, thank you. Truth is more important then any foolish insistence on being the one who's right.
Fami was exactly what Lovebites needed. I love the bass playing of Miho, but from this song I feel the band is 100% made up of virtuosos. Fami does a lot of amazing stuff all over the bass, witout losing any of the being the backbone of the band. Looking forward to the new album!
Yeah, in the end we mostly just get bass solos in jazz or jazz-rock, like for example this : Jeff Beck, Tal Wilkenfeld - Cause We've Ended As Lovers ruclips.net/video/25q8nWZQGaQ/видео.html really love that one, also how excited Jeff is 👍👍
As a Fami fan and not really a LB'S fan I was hoping that it would become the Fami show. I guess she has to show respect for her elders. I'm really liking this song. It would be my 2nd favorite without Fami but with her it's my 1rst. The things I often dislike about LB'S are not an issue here. I don't usually like the singing style but it works here. Especially with the violin. They guitar's didn't play too many notes for my ears. And the treble didn't hurt them. The guitar solos fit into the song. My only wish would be for some more change-up's in the drumming. Especially tempo. If this is all Fami's doing, she's well worth the bigger share that I hope she's getting. Just kidding. I know she's not more talented then the rest. Her celebrity is larger. 2 more like this (in a row) and I will subscribe to LB and order the new CD.
I think there is a lot to like here with this song and I believe like I said in the video if you weren't a fan before I think this version will make you into one! I'm excited for them and can't wait to see what they come up with next! LB's really got me into power metal which is a genre that I wasn't really exposed to.
I recommend you listen to the first and second albums. If you only stick to their official RUclips, most of them only uploaded power metal like songs. There are lots of "hidden gem" songs that new people might not know about. Compared to other bands, Lovebites has little content and poor promotion/marketing
@@ChadTheDragonLord I listened to the studio "Liar" and liked it a little then watcher the " Live From The Abyss " and liked it a lot. You guys should recommend that one to reactors that are just discovering Band-Maid. I like the way they let the song develop and play out rather then just hitting you with a wall of sound. And the guitar solos were great. I'll check out the others later.
Maybe i make myself some enemies now but my thoughts are: Lovebites did a big upgrade. Miho is a great Bass Player but she was always the weakest part of the Band and she knows it. Look at older Videos how much fun she got and in the newer Videos, she was quiet and only doing her job. Fami now brings the whole Band to show there real Abilitys. She was the missing Puzzle Part. Dont get me Wrong i like Miho and she has done a lot for Lovebites. Whithout here we couldnt listen to Lovebites. Sorry my English isnt that good as it should
I mean, we don't quite know what Miho was truly capable of because they just never challenged her that much. Which is not to say that she did poorly, of course, and she was still given moments to stand out. But she has stated herself that she prefers a flashier playing style to a more technical one. And that's fine. Some of the reactions sound a bit revisionist to me though. I also recommend the Daughters of the Dawn concert to everyone more interesting in her playing, because I feel like that mix is highlighting her quite well.
"A Great Bass Player" can't be the weak part of the band. Miho has never been the weakest of LOVEBITES. All members of the band, staff, management had many meetings with Miho, persuaded her not to leave the band. As professionals, they understood that it was Miho's bass that they needed !
@@cepho8349 I don't need to be optimistic.🤗 I am not a pessimist, I am not an optimist. I'm more of a realist. After the departure of Miho, I knew that LOVEBITES would continue and delight us with new songs.I was one of the first to say that Fami was a great choice for LOVEBITES and tried to explain to others that Fami could play metal. From the first days after Fami was announced as the band's bassist, I have supported Fami and will continue to support her in the future. I like her! But I think Miho is better for LOVEBITES than Fami.
@@GrayFox14 Sadly that bird has flown. I agree it's a shame she's gone (but I'm a sucker for nostalgia), and Fami is doing fine so far (Asami was totally new to metal as well). But Miho's getting her act together now and is upbeat for 2023.
SO happy to see Lovebites back on top of J-Rock once again. Just dissapointed that Fami didn't have more of a showing visually in this first release with her......not only is she a superb musician...but she is So beautiful too. Asami appears to be working hard on her English and that can only make them even more popular worldwide.
Yeah I agree I've literally been up all night listening to this song it's ridiculous. It's 7am where I am and I should be sleeping but I've watched like 5 other reactions to this song.
Brutal Track 👸⚖🧛♀ I cannot wait for this album now. 🤘🐺🤘
Fami is such awesome bass player. Very high skill. Perfect for this band.
This band has no Peer! Fami is the 5th Element. LOVEBITES is now complete. They are free to go wherever they want to. They have no restrictions.

Stay safe. Stay Lovebites
They went all in on this song, even Miyako going full shred over her normally melodic leads. Couldn't have asked for a better comeback!
Awesome song. Fami and Asami really crushed the chorus. Fami is such a wonderful addition to the band.
They're back with full power!
And this time, everyone in the band has upped their level!
Happy New Year dude🥳

Judgement Day Lyrics
Never live, never die, never end, no way to go.
Every night, everywhere, everything arriving in darkness.
What is right, what is wrong, what is sin, who's to decide.
Hide and seek, truth or dare, playing tag, chased by the Evil.
Another back and forth of gaining and losing
Running out of my time, each tick of the clock's taking down
Piece of my life again.
Who's allied, who's against, who's to pay, I'II wait it out.
Up and down, in and out, left or right, answers are nowhere
What do you see in this world full of insanity?
When do we come to ask what's awaiting us, don't look away!
This is the Truth.
Rise, this is Judgement Day. Life, given the foreverness.
Rise, this is Judgement Day. Life, living every history.
Travelling in the past find salvation
Now with the great will the path lay in front of me
Starting here this is the day.
Never live, never die, never end, no way to go Every night, everywhere, everything arriving in darkness
What do you see in this world full of insanity?
When do we come to ask what's awaiting us, don't look away!
This is the Truth.
Rise, this is Judgement Day. Life, given the foreverness.
Rise, this is Judgement Day. Life, living every history.
Travelling in the past find salvation
Now with the great will, the path lay in front of me
Starting here, this is the day
Judgement Day, Judgement Day, Judgement Day, Judgement Day!

To get an idea how busy Miho really was (and we missed in the mixes), here's Carlos Allef, a guy who did a complete playthrough of the bass part from the Glory To The World EP. He did submit an audition track for the bassist role, but obviously he wasn't going to stand a chance.

@@CrYou575 WOW!!! That's crazy! I never heard any of that from Miho in the mix. I have, as well as many others, always said that Miho was a huge part of the band through her song writing and playing. It's too bad we didn't hear just how much.
If you are ever stuck for words to describe a Lovebites song, remember 'relentless'.
Until we hear the new album we don't know if Fami's bass will always be high in the mix. Lets hope so. She stole my heart right from the introduction video. 😍 However, Miho can never be replaced in my view.
Well said!
Listen again and listen to the different base lines Fami plays during the M&M guitar solos!
4 different bassline, that was sick!
Ganbatte kudasai lovebites, pakde 😀🙏

Thanks for checking this out--it was worth the wait, wasn't it? The whole band were clearly on a mission.
100% worth the wait!
Her name is pronounced Fah-Mee if that helps. You asked a question that was a half-thought. Had you asked the whole question I might have been able to help. The members are Haruna on Drums and the only original founder left, Miho was the other and the bassist that just left, replaced by Fami. Asami is the lead vocalist, although all but Haruna sing as far as I know. Midori is a competitive bodybuilder and I don't know her position within the lineup but She and Miyako trade off lead frequently. Miyako is a concert pianist (keyboards) and Asami plays piano as well. Asami trained in the USA for Ballet, and why she didn't pursue that I don't know but we have all been blessed by that change in her direction. The ladies all agreed to do their songs in English, I'm guessing to hit the wider audience. Each of them is a master of their instruments. And Asami is one of the most graceful ladies I have ever seen, although she doesn't float around the stage in this production.
Another note about Fami: in this production, she plays 2 basses. The one in the studio has no headstock, while the one in the video has a five-string headstock. Either way, she is definitely a plus for the band.
Far Me is B A D A S S ! ! ! ! !.......... Cute puppy btw.
Thank you! He's an old boy
"Far me", that's a great idea for English speakers. For me as a German speaker it's much easier to say. As much as I know the Japanese language, "Fami" like in "family" is not a real thing, those syllables don't even exist...
Here is Midori in the bikini fitness competition. Fast forward to 7:00 minutes ruclips.net/video/GwaD69KDTgQ/видео.html
She is really in shape🤯💪🏽
👍It can be added that this was the first competition in which Midori participated. The "Muscle Festa Yokohama" (Japan) competitions was held in July 2022. Midori was among the finalists, taking 6th place (the first 6 places are finalists) in the category "Bikini Fitness Under 40"
Alex thanks for sharing that with me and others who might not have seen this! That was crazy to see! SHE"S A BEAST! and reading the comments people were saying that was her first time competing!
@@Killermcknight In October 2022, Midori participated in other competitions in the "Body Fitness" category and already took 2nd place !🤘
@@Killermcknight She is Beauty and the Beast!
Fami 20yr/o girl new bassist, check Fami channel and watch her play bass and do bass covers....
"Fami is Amazing!". It is hard not to endorse that. However, with all of the respect in the world to Fami (and Lovebites), I still miss Miho.
I do miss Miho as well, and I hope she will share whatever it is that she is doing now with us soon. But I also had the impression that for whatever reason, she was not very happy in Lovebites. Hopefully, she is now in a better place for her. As for Fami... I think she is a perfect fit for the band. I can't wait to see what comes next.
@@55tallanh She seems to be doing fine now. She's upbeat for the new year. She will be playing bass on the solo album from Mari of Mary's Blood.
@@55tallanh You are absolutely right about Fami, which was why I was so emphatic about making sure that no one confused my sadness for the loss of Miho with any disrespect for Fami. As to the several postulated rationales put forth for Miho's leaving Lovebites, I put the greatest credence in the idea that she found it unsettling that the band seems to be moving in the direction of melodic power metal and quasi-symphonic metal. (I'm talking about a modest trend -- I'm not saying that all [or even most] of their newer product has fewer "sharp teeth" in it than was true of their older material [they can still splinter the floor boards any time that they want to]). If there were interpersonal issues in the band, I heard nothing about them. (Of course, the Japanese do a much better job of smoothing over such issues publicly [e.g. if such problems existed, we'd hear something like "They wanted to experiment with new musical directions" or "There have been health issues"; in the West, we might instead get something like: "If I ever see that mot........ng as....e again, I'm gonna tear their face off!"). Happy New Year!
Now, if someone can clarify for me what the heck is going on with Aldious....
@@bruceveary1758 Everything is much more complicated.
Few facts:
- Miho's father died in August, 2018. In December 2018, the 2nd studio album of LOVEBITES "Clockwork Immortality" was released. This album contains the song "Journey to the Otherside" (lyrics - Miho / music - Miho, Mao).
Miho dedicated this song to her father. Miho starts crying during the song "Journey to the Otherside" (DVD/Blue-ray "Daughters of the Dawn-Live in Tokyo 2019") .
"The Final Collision" (lyrics - Miho / music - Miho, Mao), another song from this album . This song is also related to Miho's personal suffering.
- On August 15, 2021, Miho tweeted that :
"Now playing Journey To The Otherside (LOVEBITES - Clockwork Immortality).
Today is the anniversary of the death of my father, who was a paramedic. Three years later, I still feel lonely.
I wondered if he lived in good health, he would have done everything possible to save lives during this Сorona crisis.
Thanks to all the medical workers who are now fighting on the front lines."
- Two days later, August 17, 2021 Miho tweets: "Thank you so much for your support so far." And retweets the band's official statements : "Notice of Miho's exit and band suspension."
Around the same time, the band releases an official statement:
"Important announcement of Miho's departure and band hiatus :
To our dear fans, firstly thank you all for always supporting LOVEBITES.
Today we have to let you know that our bassist, Miho, is leaving LOVEBITES. We're so sorry to be bringing such sad news to our fans and everyone who has supported us so far.
After Miho told us she was thinking of leaving, the band and our staff held countless meetings , to find a way for her to stay. But in the end, we decided to respect Miho's wish." ( * This is a translation from Japanese )
Miho was very attached to her father and this pain caused by his death accompanied her for the last three years of being in LOVEBITES. According to the tweet, Miho's father died on August 15, 2018.
LOVEBITES in August 2018 was in Europe. They have performed at:
"Wacken Open Air" (Germany) - August 4, 2018
"Bloodstock Open Air " ( Great Britain ) - August 10, 2018
I will not continue further. Smart people will understand how Miho felt when she returned from Europe to Japan.
I know that it is often very difficult for people after personal tragedies in their lives and often they try to change their lives: to change their environment, change jobs, place of residence, etc. etc.
In order to be distracted . So that what surrounds them is less reminiscent of their personal tragedy. I've been through this myself. Therefore, it is very likely that the reason (or one of the reasons) for Miho's departure from the band was the death of her father.
Why did I write all this? Over the past 16 months since Miho's departure from the band, I have repeatedly seen some fans reproach Miho for setting everyone up by "unexpectedly" leaving LOVEBITES. So I've tried to summarize what I've learned . So that people at least understand something .
@@GrayFox14 This was a worthy response -- just the thing that I needed to change my thinking, and to give me a sound reason for doing so. Sincerely, thank you. Truth is more important then any foolish insistence on being the one who's right.
Fami was exactly what Lovebites needed. I love the bass playing of Miho, but from this song I feel the band is 100% made up of virtuosos. Fami does a lot of amazing stuff all over the bass, witout losing any of the being the backbone of the band. Looking forward to the new album!
Yeah, in the end we mostly just get bass solos in jazz or jazz-rock, like for example this :
Jeff Beck, Tal Wilkenfeld - Cause We've Ended As Lovers
ruclips.net/video/25q8nWZQGaQ/видео.html
really love that one, also how excited Jeff is 👍👍
i love the "we got the little bit of english here".
As a Fami fan and not really a LB'S fan I was hoping that it would become the Fami show. I guess she has to show respect for her elders. I'm really liking this song. It would be my 2nd favorite without Fami but with her it's my 1rst. The things I often dislike about LB'S are not an issue here. I don't usually like the singing style but it works here. Especially with the violin. They guitar's didn't play too many notes for my ears. And the treble didn't hurt them. The guitar solos fit into the song. My only wish would be for some more change-up's in the drumming. Especially tempo.
If this is all Fami's doing, she's well worth the bigger share that I hope she's getting. Just kidding. I know she's not more talented then the rest. Her celebrity is larger.
2 more like this (in a row) and I will subscribe to LB and order the new CD.
I think there is a lot to like here with this song and I believe like I said in the video if you weren't a fan before I think this version will make you into one! I'm excited for them and can't wait to see what they come up with next! LB's really got me into power metal which is a genre that I wasn't really exposed to.
I recommend you listen to the first and second albums. If you only stick to their official RUclips, most of them only uploaded power metal like songs.
There are lots of "hidden gem" songs that new people might not know about.
Compared to other bands, Lovebites has little content and poor promotion/marketing
@@funnyrailroadcrossing2767 thanks. I will.
Check out "Liar", "Edge of the World", "A Frozen Serenade" and "Epilogue" You may find those more to your liking.
@@ChadTheDragonLord I listened to the studio "Liar" and liked it a little then watcher the " Live From The Abyss " and liked it a lot. You guys should recommend that one to reactors that are just discovering Band-Maid. I like the way they let the song develop and play out rather then just hitting you with a wall of sound. And the guitar solos were great. I'll check out the others later.
❤️❤️❤️
😁
all lovebites songs are fully english
Yeah I'm still not that familiar with the band only having covered a couple of their songs so didn't know that about them!
🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺
" Adding a little bit of English there " ? It's ALL in English 😉
Maybe i make myself some enemies now but my thoughts are: Lovebites did a big upgrade. Miho is a great Bass Player but she was always the weakest part of the Band and she knows it. Look at older Videos how much fun she got and in the newer Videos, she was quiet and only doing her job. Fami now brings the whole Band to show there real Abilitys. She was the missing Puzzle Part. Dont get me Wrong i like Miho and she has done a lot for Lovebites. Whithout here we couldnt listen to Lovebites.
Sorry my English isnt that good as it should
I mean, we don't quite know what Miho was truly capable of because they just never challenged her that much. Which is not to say that she did poorly, of course, and she was still given moments to stand out. But she has stated herself that she prefers a flashier playing style to a more technical one. And that's fine. Some of the reactions sound a bit revisionist to me though.
I also recommend the Daughters of the Dawn concert to everyone more interesting in her playing, because I feel like that mix is highlighting her quite well.
"A Great Bass Player" can't be the weak part of the band. Miho has never been the weakest of LOVEBITES. All members of the band, staff, management had many meetings with Miho, persuaded her not to leave the band. As professionals, they understood that it was Miho's bass that they needed !
@@GrayFox14 Plus Miho had written some of their best songs. But Judgement Day should have us feel optimistic about their future.
@@cepho8349 I don't need to be optimistic.🤗 I am not a pessimist, I am not an optimist. I'm more of a realist. After the departure of Miho, I knew that LOVEBITES would continue and delight us with new songs.I was one of the first to say that Fami was a great choice for LOVEBITES and tried to explain to others that Fami could play metal. From the first days after Fami was announced as the band's bassist, I have supported Fami and will continue to support her in the future. I like her! But I think Miho is better for LOVEBITES than Fami.
@@GrayFox14 Sadly that bird has flown. I agree it's a shame she's gone (but I'm a sucker for nostalgia), and Fami is doing fine so far (Asami was totally new to metal as well). But Miho's getting her act together now and is upbeat for 2023.
All their songs are in English.
Obviously Lars Ulrich was not involved in the mixing of this song!
SO happy to see Lovebites back on top of J-Rock once again. Just dissapointed that Fami didn't have more of a showing visually in this first release with her......not only is she a superb musician...but she is So beautiful too. Asami appears to be working hard on her English and that can only make them even more popular worldwide.
The solos weren't done yet when you stopped [:(
😔 I still heard it lol
@@Killermcknight It's much better all together
Yeah I agree I've literally been up all night listening to this song it's ridiculous. It's 7am where I am and I should be sleeping but I've watched like 5 other reactions to this song.
Tell me I didn't hear you say "Adding a little bit of English in there"... 🤦♂
😂😂🙈
@@Killermcknight All Lovebites songs are 100% English.
