yup Asami did ballet. also the band was put together by the by the bass player Miho and the drummer Haruna who were in another all female band called Destrose. They recruited Midori and Miyako. Then all four of them chose Asami.
Actually Miyako is a very funny and outgoing she has her own yt channel miyakometalTV. And Miho the bassplayer is the most badass of them all a real metalhead. Your right they had there own personalities which make them great.
true about white on stage because of the visual. they have changed them a few times though. and also yes to vocalist asami having ballet experience. it's very apparent in a lot of songs
As a musician I have always believed that the emotion is in the playing not in the theatrics. Also stage and body movement is inversely proportional to the difficulty of what is being played and what this band plays is very technical and difficult. Oh, and Lovebites is the best metal band of this era...hands down.
Lovebites songs are always successful in transferring positive vibes, giving me a power and their lyrics are always spinning in my head. Their songs are also well composed, uplifting lyrical and made with full heart.
*Miho,* the bass player, assembled the band. *Haruna,* the drummer, had played with her already for some years in another little band that was called DestRose. Miho founded Lovebites with the idea of making a band that played classic metal, that singed in english and that had beautiful ladies on the front. She knew *Miyako* and *Midori* for playing in other little bands from the japanese metal scene, so she made them join. For the last, they were looking for a singer, so they listened to some rock demos and crossed paths with *Asami.* She studied ballet since she was a child. Later she had been a performing as a soul singer in live sessions around for a living. She was also a backup singer for some pop and rock groups. When she joined Lovebites she didn't even know what Heavy Metal was xD And yeah I do not know how anyone can say that of Miyako (black haired guitar). Awesome guitarists, great shredders, there are hundreds. All of them awesome. But the expression as an artist that Miyako can express with her music, I have seen very few people able to do that in metal. Her artistic expression is precisely her strongest point, imo. And that's to say something, this lady has a lot of strong points, you will see if you go deeper in this journey. I would recommend Edge of the World, for a song with more clear vocals.
Been a fan of LOVEBITES since 2017, Miho on bass n founder, Haruna on drums n co-founder, Asami on vocals, Midori(Blonde) guitar and Beautiful Miyako on guitar, this song is about COVID in the world in 2020. Song is by Midori and Asami did the words. Miyako is a Perfectionist when she playing. Yes they wear White to be seen on stage Live. The idea on wearing white is the bands deal. No manager or company, thank god, Miho want to show the Beautiful, or girly look of the Band. Big plus, they all write songs, all talented, Their is a RUclips interview video on why, they wear white. 🤘🥰❤LOVEBITES Beautiful Goddess ❤🥰🤘 Cheers
According to the ladies in Lovebites, the reason for the white outfits is to contrast them from other metal bands, because they bring a positive message and want to distance themselves from the traditional black that other metal bands wear. It has nothing to do with making it easier to see them because of their size. They're small, but they're not THAT small, lol! With the 6" heels they wear, they're pretty close to average height on stage. Also, I'm not sure who told you they never move around on stage, but whoever did apparently hasn't paid much attention to them! There are several songs where they move around a lot, although their movement is understandably limited by their clothing choice to wear high heels. Although Miyako (dark hair) has always been more reserved than Midori (blonde), the stoic and generally expressionless personality she displays onstage is a relatively recent development, and it was a deliberate decision made by both Midori and Miyako, to draw more of a yin-yang contrast between them. If you watch some of their older performances, from 2019 and older, Miyako was much more animated, much more engaging with the crowd, and smiled a lot more. It was in the lead-up to the Electric Pentagram CD and the tour in support of that album that they made the decision to play with their stage personas a bit more. The fun-loving Miyako does still show through on occasion, though.
They have actually said that it is all of the above--to contrast with the Metal image of black outfits, to signal the positivity of their lyrics and messaging vs the darkness of most Metal, and also to be more visible on stage. But good comment, especially the yin-yang contrast. It also shows in their playing styles--the contrast is a huge reason they sound so rich and dynamic.
Nice video, please add on the list: Swan Song, Edge Of The World, Epilogue. Miyako the black haired guitarist also play piano on songs I mentioned above.
@@progandmetalfan711 No, there is an article talking about how her mother would listen to classic rock when Miyako was growing up, that classic rock influenced her.
The next music video from Lovebites you got to check out is when destiny's align and wings of Transylvania and the next live performance is The Awakening / the hammer of wrath, addicted, edge of the world and we stand United
Wonderful reaction and comments! I really like it when a musician analyzes music and musicians! This makes fans more proud! Thank you! Lovebites forever!!! See you next!
The blonde haired guitar lady always be the female crush for most female reactor. I don't see why wouldn't she be. I mean they're all awesome but there's something about Midori that always catches your attention.
Who was the crazy guy who said they dont have emotions ? Miyako expresses her emotions with the sound of her guitar and remember she is the main composer of lovebites music, and a world class pianist ( you can see that in a few lovebites songs like " empty daydream " or "swan song" ( swan song with chopin's prelude" and as a pianist she is trained to hide emotions.and yes : Asami the lead singer did ballet in the U.S .
vous avez quoi dans les oreilles ? Miyako a assez foiré son intro au piano... nervosité, hésitations, dynamique douteuse... et piano electrique déguisé en piano à queue qu'elle ne connaissait pas...
Vous avez effacé votre commentaire me traitant d'âne... je maintiens ce que j'ai dit sur la prestation de Miyako dans l'intro Chopin... mais sur le reste, toutes les fois où elle avait à jouer des parties au clavier, c'était superbe ! notamment sur Rising (live 2020) et son retourné piano/guitare... Et... sur Swan song (live 2021) elle ne joue QUE la fin au piano... Sûrement à cause du mauvais souvenir de sa prestation (intro live 2020)... Non ? Monsieur aux oreilles bourrées d'excréments de l'âne se son oncle...
Thanks for react to Lovebites , my fav, metal band , other level of musicians , Miyako amazing pianist and guitarrist , check out , etude revolutionary of Chopin and Swan Song .
Loved your reaction, as usual. And you are so charming if I may. Only one thing that is missing : no words about Haruna the drummer, maybe because we usually don't see her enough in videos ... she is impressive and so smiling ...
Another great reaction! The band was formed "organically". Miho, the bassist and Haruna, the drummer played together in the band "Destrose" (since disbanded). After leaving Destrose, they decided to form their own band. They recruited Asami (vocal) and Midori (blonde ponytail). Miyako ("no emotion") came in initially as a "support musician", but soon became a permanent member. As you delve more into this band, you will discover that Miyako is also a highly skilled concert pianist. She gives off more that "classical musician" vibe. Midori is graduate of Guitar Institute of Technology, which has produced some of the most technically proficient heavy metal guitar "shredders" (Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Paul Gilbert). So she exhibits more of a "bad ass metal guitarist" vibe. As a heavy metal guitarist myself, I recognize there is a huge difference in the way Midori and Miyako approach guitar playing. But they complement each other flawlessly. I have heard from posts I've read that it was a conscious decision to showcase the different personalities on stage. Whether that comes from the girls themselves, their management, or a combination of both, I don't know. But I do have the very first live DVD they released, and Miyako is much more animated. In any case, yes, word has it Asami has had ballet training. Looking forward to the next one!
about "support musician" - it doesn't mean she was a lesser member at the start, it only means she was involved with another band at the same time so she couldn't be considered a definitive member.
What a wonderfully insightful reaction and analysis. You are very right about the contrasts of personality and the reflection of that in the performance. The dark haired "quiet" guitarist is called Miyako and she is arguably the most musically gifted of the band which is, considering that they are all phenomenal musicians, is a very high bar indeed. She has been a musical prodigy from the age of three. Guitar is her SECOND instrument. She is also a concert standard classical pianist and the main composer for the band. To see this virtuosity check out their song "Swan Song" which I think you might identify with having your own song called "Swan Lake" Try and find the version with the piano introduction when she plays Chopin's "Revolutionary Etude" before the beginning of the song (as well as incorporating elements of Dvorak's "New World Symphony" into the main body of the song. In the same live version you'll also see confirmation of another of you insights. Lead singer Asami is indeed a trained ballerina and at the end of "Swan Song" she performs elements of the dance "The Dying Swan" choroegraphed by Mikhail Fokine to Camille Saint-Saens' "The Swan" for legendary ballerina Anna Pavlova. The camera doesn't dwell on her sadly but you can get glimpses of it. "The Dying Swan" is also incorporated into modern interpretations of the ballet "Swan Lake" of course. The depth of talent and the profound thought that goes into this band's music and performance is quite frankly staggering.
Miyako, the black haired guitarist play the role as the cool character in the band, while the other member had their own characters.. But, believe me, she's a very cheerful girl outside of the band activities😅 She's sometime showing her dog, wampa on her interview.. Thank you for your honest reaction!👍🏻 I always love it! I'm waiting for your next reaction.. Hope you have a great day!✌🏻
whoever said myako has no emotions, apparently needs to watch more videos. i love how she's so laid back. she doesn't need to go out her way to impress, her ability to play is impressive enough, love her.
Miyako actually more expressive on stage in the past (Watch Battle in The East show 2018 or Daughters of the Dawn show 2019). The role she's playing on stage since 2020 IMO has something to do with her elegant dress. Love the reaction!
Oh, outstanding review again, and I agree with your every comment again. As you pointed out, every member keeps each personality is the power and their superiority. No one juts out, and 5 totally different characters interfuse and accord as one great and perfect sound. That makes Lovebites as the most unique and outstanding band. Although the drummer and the bassist are top notch players, they don't play solos with few exceptions. They aim to make one perfect sound of the band instead of each player shines individually, nevertheless each one of them is the top level musician. Asami the singer is the last one who joined the group. Since she was a R&B/Jazz singer and knew nothing about metal, she tried adapt her style to metal but the all other members advised her not to. Hence there is a unique metal singer Asami. They have achieved their uniqueness this way. The dark haired guitarist Miyako, she does not perform other than music. She just tries the best performance as a musician. As you pointed out, her sound is most emotional. She keeps her flaming passion under her cold skin as opposite to Midori the ponytailed guitarist who is an insane speed demon, wants to play in excitement and agitation. Somebody in the Wolfpack described two guitarists as Ice and Fire. This total difference of the two makes the sound so deep and vast and rich. And the other members keep each character, then five different elements harmonize as one perfect sound. This is their unique existence. Combined file of Chopin Revolutionary Etude + Swan Song is uploaded again. Please try it. ruclips.net/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/видео.html BTW, the guy in Glory to the World is not a prince. He is Jesus of the Resurrection. You may see the blood on his forehead and in his palms. This clip symbolizes the world overcoming the epidemic situation of China virus. Have a good one.
the founder and co founders of this band is Miho the bassist and Haruna the drummer who also played in the band Destrose together before forming Lovebites in 2016
Thats jesus spreading the light in the pandemic. It´s not a religiouis messege but a positive one. I´m not a religiuos man but i has been LOVE"BITTEN" by these fantastic women and their music. By the way the fact you are russian and passionate are perfect, love your reaction. Love from Sweden
The dark haired girl is Miyako and her personality is being one of the most talented musicians on the planet. Not only a world class guitarist she is an even better pianist. Oh yeah she can play both at the same time. She is a composer and writes most of Lovebites music. So, you might say her personality is being a world class BAD ASS!!!
This seems to be a popular myth that Miyako composes most of their music. It's not really true. To date, they have published exactly 50 songs (51 if you count both versions of "Bravehearted"). Miyako has composed 22 of those, Miho 17, Asami 4 and Midori and Haruna have each composed 2. They are all definitely badass. 🤘
@@Gideon_the_Seeker Of course they are all badass she was just talking about Miyako. Thanks for correcting me. If you want to get super technical about this Mao who plays some background piano and programming for the group has written with Miho on about 90% of the songs (give or take) you have credited her with writing. So Miho is co writer on those songs. Mao has also written with Midori and maybe some of the others.
LOVEBITES - Glory to the World lyrics: Everything around us will fall into dark When you keep on looking into the sadness Nobody in this world may ever be free My hearts will shiver and I can't take deep breath But rains will end, and nights will pass, griefs will purify The dawn will come and bring the light in this world Grace to my heart, Hallelujah I know you really care for me So I leave everything in your hands You'd walk with me all the way Learning to love yourself It is the greatest love of all Time will come where we feel the love and the reason to be me Standing in nowhere and searching for meanings A sleepless night haunting us like a shadow A blur in the future, the fear of unknown There will come a time where we can leave everything behind Breeze are running through the land and endless to the sky Together we will make it through this deep night Grace to my heart, Hallelujah I know you really care for me So I leave everything in your hands You'd walk with me all the way Learning to love yourself It is the greatest love of all Time will come where we feel the love and the reason to be me And rains will end, and nights will pass, griefs will purify The dawn will come and bring the light and lead us to a new world Grace to my heart, Hallelujah I know you really care for me So I leave everything in your hands You'd walk with me all the way Learning to love yourself It is the greatest love of all Wherever you go, this world that we breathe together, Nothing more precious ----- lyrics: asami music: midori & Mao arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami)
Thanks for reacting to amazing Lovebites. Miyako shows her emotions through her guitar and piano playing. For nice piano and vocals I recommend the songs “Empty daydream”, “Epilogue”, “Edge of the world” and “Swan song”. In the song “Dancing with the devil” Asami showcases her bluesy vocals. All songs live if possible. In an interview, Miho said that they want to play as heavy as men but keeping their femininity. Some people say that they’re redefining metal.
a great, expertly and entertaining rection/analysis. thank you. miyako expresses her emotions onstage through music. she doesn´t need theatrical. lovebites is something else. I would recommend edge of the world live next, which highlights asamis voice.
Great reaction. Thank goodness for a reactor who does not complain about Miyako's (black haired guitarist) stage precence and her seeming lack of emotion. Miyako shows her emotions in her playing and through her finger tips. Personally I think her stage precence is very cool and the contast between her and Midori's (blond guitarist) personality and style of playing are one of the best things about Lovebites. You should react to Lovebites 'Swan Song' with Miyako playing Chopin's Revolutionary Etude as the intro. The piano is really Miyako's primary instrument and the guitar her second but she is equally proficient on both instruments.
Ms Emotionless. hahaha. Miyako is the definition of passion and emotion, being the main composer of the band(although they all can write). She is a true musical savant.
Japanese culture must also be remembered when commenting on introverts and extraverts, one only needs to look to Misa from BANDMAID extremely talented bassist yet like Miyako she also keeps to herself and is known to be very shy,,
Miho (Bass) (defacto leader, red? curled hair) and Haruna (Drums)(Nickname: Energizer Bunny, she is actually the smallest of the group) are co-founders; Midori (Guitar 2, with blond ponytail, very expressive); Miyako (Guitar 1 & Keyboards, dark hair, "ice queen"... shows her passion in her performance, off stage she has a great sense of humor, she was a child prodigy with music and has amazing talent, she also writes most if not all of the arrangements for their music. ); Which brings us to the vocalist, Asami. Beautiful lady, very tiny, but still taller than Haruna. Asami studied Ballet in the US, I have no idea how long she was here, but she speaks English quite well, if not fluent. I believe she was instrumental in deciding to sing all their songs in English.) Overall, I love this group. I can only pray they will tour the USA once this pandemic is over with. I can only hope they would do a performance in Knoxville, TN the nearest city to me... Anastasia, than you for doing what you do. Spasiba basho.
The emotion issue is ridiculous. Every note, Every refrain,Every bridge, etc... is drenched with emotional as well as professor level technical abilities. They are like a Master Class in how too be a world Revered Metal band. If you hadnt noticed their fan base is quite inclusive as well as every demographic from every place on the planet you can think of. Their Official FB Fan page is a testament too how far these 5 Powerful Women are reaching. Thank you Anastasia for bringing an accomplished Vocalists input into these reactions.
I believe she plays that way because of her many years training as a professional pianist. If you notice, most world class classical musicians have that same expression on their recitals.
I realy realy like your react and i do agree with your opinion about Miyako that everybody have their own personality and their own style to expression their emotion.
3 года назад+32
Miyako started as a classical pianist. They teach them to be still and composed.. all focused and not to break the correct playing posture. It must affect her stage presence.
That's true, still she had more of a "classic rocker" behaviour in her former bands - I think that with Lovebites she's extremely perfectionnist and focus a lot on the quality of the performance
when the other girls back her up they also sound great there are a few songs where miyako and miho back her and midori also on a few songs they all have great vocals
Greetings and thanks for more LOVEBITES! I really enjoyed your comments on the individual band members, bassist/founder/leader/composer/lyricist/b-up vocals, Miho; drummer/founder/composer/lyricist, Haruna; guitarist/composer/lyricist/b-up vocals, Midori; guitarist/pianist/composer/b-up vocals, Miyako; Front/vocals/composer/lyricist, Asami Five uniquely sophisticated women writing and performing Heavy Metal of diverse varieties. Their 2020 Concert release, "Five of a Kind" depicts five Wolves joining together, making your comments at 13:35 quite interesting, "wolf tones" and that their fan-base are known as "Wolf Pack" Your recognition of each one is greatly appreciated and rightfully deserved.
Miho said she always wanted to play a combination of power metal and "a little bit of old school [heavy metal]." She also noted that their decision to wear all-white clothing, as opposed to the genre's stereotypical black, was made to contrast with their old school sound and have them stand out.
I love you I love your coments... This band is beautiful Pure power metal by Helloween... You need to listen much more musics from this band Swan song We the united Epilogue Edge of the world When desteny alines Under the red sky..
YOU SAY YOU DONT KNOW HOW THEY DO THIS IN HEELS, AS MUCH AS I LOVE THIS ASPECT, I HAVE TO LOOK AT THE GUITARS, I LOVER DRUMMERS AND HARUNA, AND AKANE FROM BANDMAID KEEP ME WONDERING HOW THEY KEEP UP THE PACE. THE GIRL WITH DARK HAIR, MYAKO KEEPS ME AT A LOSS FOR WORDS, HER ABILITIES ARE STUNNING, AND THERES SOMETHING ABOUT HER , THAT PULLS ME TOWARDS HER. MIDORI IS JUST AS GOOD BUT I LOVE WHEN THEY PLAY TOGETHER, THAT IS PURE MAGIC
Miho (bassist) founded the band with Haruna (drummer). They subsequently recruited Midori & Miyako (the guitarists) and then Asami (the vocalist). No producer 'put them together'.
I'm glad that you understood Miyako (the dark haired guitarist). I've heard many people criticize her for her lack of expression on stage. She started learning classical piano when she was 3 years old and continues to play it. In their concert at the beginning of last year, she actually played Chopin's "Revolutionary Etude." Classical pianists are not known for showing a lot of emotion on stage, with the possible exception of Yuja Wang. She started teaching herself guitar when she was 18, and is completely self taught. She also composes and arranges the majority of their songs. She even taught herself to play bass guitar so can wrote those parts as well. Midori ( the blond guitarist) was formally taught guitar and plays with a traditional metal style, while Miyako is always experimenting with her style. When she buys a new guitar, she always changes all of the electronics to get the exact sound she's looking for. As is typical for classical musicians, she lets her emotions out in her music. She has played some soulful solos that will rip your heart out. If you want to really see who Miyako is, I recommend you watch "Swan Song" - the version that starts with her playing Chopin's Etude.
LOVEBITES - Glory to the World lyrics (Russian): Все вокруг нас погрузится во тьму Когда ты продолжаешь смотреть в грусть Никто в этом мире никогда не может быть свободным Мои сердца будут дрожать, и я не могу глубоко вздохнуть Но дожди закончатся, и ночи пройдут, скорби очистят Придет рассвет и принесет свет в этот мир Милость моему сердцу, аллилуйя Я знаю, ты действительно заботишься обо мне Поэтому я оставляю все в твоих руках Ты бы шел со мной всю дорогу Научиться любить себя Это величайшая любовь из всех Придет время, когда мы почувствуем любовь и причину быть мной. Стоять в никуда и искать смыслы Бессонная ночь преследует нас, как тень Размытие в будущем, страх неизвестного Придет время, когда мы сможем оставить все позади Ветер летит по земле и бесконечно летит в небо Вместе мы пройдем через эту глубокую ночь Милость моему сердцу, аллилуйя Я знаю, ты действительно заботишься обо мне Поэтому я оставляю все в твоих руках Ты бы шел со мной всю дорогу Научиться любить себя Это самая большая любовь всего Придет время, когда мы почувствуем любовь и причину быть мной. И дожди закончатся, и ночи пройдут, скорби очистят Придет рассвет и принесет свет и приведет нас в новый мир Милость моему сердцу, аллилуйя Я знаю, ты действительно заботишься обо мне Поэтому я оставляю все в твоих руках Ты бы шел со мной всю дорогу Научиться любить себя Это величайшая любовь из всех Куда бы вы ни пошли, этот мир, которым мы дышим вместе, Ничего дороже
They have said in interviews that the two guitar players intentionally exaggerate the contrast in their personalities while on stage. You're definitely correct that Miyako isn't emotionless, it's just displayed in a way more typical of classical musicians than rock musicians. Also, as far as I can tell it's not unusual from Japanese music videos to have the lyrics shown, often as subtitles but sometimes in a more flashy graphical way (Unlucky Morpheus "Top Of The M" for example). Lovebites lyrics are all in English, but Asami definitely has an accent, and the cadence is often different from how a native speaker would normally sing those words.
They put themselves together. Miho, the bass guitarist, and Haruna, the drummer, were in a band called Destrose. Miyako and Midori, the guitarists, were each in different bands, and those four knew each other to various degrees through the music festival scene in Japan. When Destrose finally split after having having nearly every woman in Japan in their lineup, Miho wanted to put together a band that reflected the music she loved when she was growing up. The four of them needed a vocalist, and Asami was available, wanted to do something different, and had put out a rock demo. Miho heard it and liked the power in Asami's voice, so they invited her to join. As for the video, the church, at least the interior, is a real building. Another Japanese power metal band, Galneryus, filmed the video for "Angel of Salvation" there, and I've heard of another group or two shooting there. The guy in the video is supposed to be a representation of Jesus reincarnated in modern times; that's why he's got blood on his hands and forehead. I feel like he's supposed to be a bit amnesiac, too, and that LOVEBITES playing in the church are a guiding light, but that's just me theorizing.
There are documentaries here on RUclips that absolutely back up your statement - you see Miyako (dark hair) laughing and chatting happily with the others and a bit later, just before Lovebite's performance in Tokyo (2020 or 2021 - don't remember exactly), how this exceptional artist gets nervous and more and more quiet, but then shines on stage with such world-class ability - just more reserved than her congenial counterpart Midori, also a stunningly brilliant - for me - world-class guitarist. I also think that Midori's experiences at bodybuilding events, this radiant appearance in public supports her more personal, more expressive nature - the moto: no matter how you are doing, you shine brightly for the world with your wonderful smile. This is Midori for me.
Thank you for understanding Miyako's appearance of cool. She is a classically trained musician, and doesn't need to thrash around to show her feelings--it is all there in her playing. Yes, Asami studied ballet, you have a good eye. Miho, the bassist, is the soul of the band, and is the most devoted to heavy metal. You can see her passion for the music. Great reaction and analysis.
Lovebites just do Lovebites thing. Miho the bass player ( i think it was her dream to have a band in white as stageoutfit ) and 145 cm Haruna the pocket nuke behind the drums started this band. They found the ponytail Midori and Miyako for guitarists. The from the beginning R a B singer Asami was last in and never have sang metal. So the band grow kind of organic. They have a "6" member, Mao is contributing with arr and some composing. He played synth in the band Light Bringer. There they have the singer Fuki that now sings in another amazing band. Unlucky Morpheus. Lovebites songmixing is done so far from the same ppl that soundmix Nightwish in Finland.
So glad you are getting into Lovebites. I think you will find this MV interesting because Asami uses all her power to belt out the chorus… which surprises many given how tiny she is. Also Midori (your girl crush) doesn’t have blonde hair OR a ponytail in this video (and personally I think it suits her better). Great reaction, you make it very interesting and watchable. Oh, and yes, Asami did first train as a ballet dancer before taking up singing… jazz and RnB. ruclips.net/video/ueKyQ4xI-mY/видео.html
Yeah Miyako the dark hair she reminds a lot of her inspiration guitarist one of the best all time guitar players Richie Blackmore from Deep Purple and Rainbow. And the other guitarist Midori her style its like Yngwe Malmsteen that she learned to play faster. About Asami the vocalist she start learning ballet at age of three. So her movements are so graceful. Now you got another song on RUclips please don't miss it try soon as possible until is not taken down. The song is called We the United live from Five of a kind in Zepp Diversity Tokyo. Enjoy it.
Yes you´re right.How could them have no emotions creating this music? This one and many others are Miyako compositions.The lady who shreds the solo guitar(and who also plays classic piano).No emotions? Lovebites are fire and HOPE in this dark world
Japanese bands, with boys or girls (or both) have some twists in them, because japanese culture have some aspects who are really different from the western ones. A lot of bands in Japan have "uniforms", some kind of clothes who "defines" them. They have they "cute dresses", Band Maid have the maid costumes, from years another band: Scandal uses uniforms who looks like schoolar ones (they start playing in High School), etc. Also a lot of bands have a "role playing" on they public relations. One is the wild, another the shy, etc... this can be related with their personality but is also a role to play in public for the audience. In Japan the separation between public and private life if really strict. People don´t harasses public figures and the details of her private life are... private. Asking about intimate details are considered very rude. Some girls in bands are married and even have children, but they only publish a little thing about this and nothing else. People don´t go asking for irrelevant details. One person is the "public one" and they also have a private life and no one ask details about this. Also they think the followers, the fans are customers. They deserve a good show. They pay for it, so in live performances they smile or act like the "public persona". Does not matter if they have a bad day, a headache... they are professionals and you pay for a performance. At least they think in this way. There´s really a lot of great bands in Japan. Girls, boys or both. A really great number of them, but the language barrier and also the little interest from the japanese record labels to reach the western market is the reason because a lot are unknow here. Also, music is an compulsory subject in a lot of schools in Japan. They also have to learn to play an instrument, any instrument in High School, so every year you have thousands of new players. Some of them really good, so the level of professional bands is really high.
Miyako en los conciertos del en vivo "Daughters of the Dawn" esta mas emocional o en su canal con sus mascotas, o en backstages videos, ella es seria y reservada.
they do always wear white, at their live shows and music videos. they weren’t always so princessy tho lol they have gotten more fancy as time passed. they used to look kinda piratey at one point IMO i liked those outfits too tho~~
What I get from Miyako (the dark haired one) is she is on the introverted side and can get a bit nervous about being in front of people at times. When discussing about their show after lockdowns the other members cried at being happy to perform again however Miyako said she was more preoccupied with not messing up she didn't. It's my speculation but I think the cool persona may also help her play on stage so she doesn't split her concentration on playing and being showy. However she will open up when discussing her passion in music or when excited like when they show off their Metal Hammer award or in a lightened mood like when Dragonforce had invited them on stage for My Heart Will Go On where Herman comes out in a white dress and "Farming Simulator" where they throw in some guitar work while Sam does a silly banjo solo.
”winter”聞きました メタルボーカリストなのですね とても感動しました。 "swanlake"も聞きたいものです。 チャンネル登録させて頂きました。 これからも頑張って下さい LOVEBITESの応援もお願い致します ちなみに、LOVEBITESにも"swansong"という曲があります。 ～from japan～ I heard "winter". You're a metal vocalist, right? I was very impressed. I also want to hear "Swan Lake". I subscribed to the channel. We support you in the future. Please support LOVEBITES as well. By the way, LOVEBITES also has a song called "Swan Song".
I agree, Miyako is not bored, she she is stoic, but exudes a lot of emotions when she plays. and if you doubt that, I recommend you hear her play alone, in plain clothes on a stage that focuses on the amps behind her playing Gary Moore's ¨Parisienne Walkways¨ (ruclips.net/video/bMmkDttnR7k/видео.html). which is also my recommendation for a reaction video... its just that good.
I have heard gripes about Lovebites doesn't show a lot of emotion. For me, it doesn't matter if a band is all over the stage or stuck in one spot the whole show, if the music moves you, that is all the emotion I need from a band. There is a song called Edge Of The World by Lovebites. They don't move much during the song but it is so good and intense, it's all the emotion I need. The song hits me in all the right spots.

Miyako the guitarist dark hair have emotions. Her emotions is cool, and flawless.
Grace to my heart... HARUNA !!! 🤘🐺🤘
yup Asami did ballet. also the band was put together by the by the bass player Miho and the drummer Haruna who were in another all female band called Destrose. They recruited Midori and Miyako. Then all four of them chose Asami.
Actually Miyako is a very funny and outgoing she has her own yt channel miyakometalTV. And Miho the bassplayer is the most badass of them all a real metalhead. Your right they had there own personalities which make them great.
27 years listen the best power metal bands in the world and this band blows me away with her quality/ your ages...
true about white on stage because of the visual. they have changed them a few times though. and also yes to vocalist asami having ballet experience. it's very apparent in a lot of songs
As a musician I have always believed that the emotion is in the playing not in the theatrics. Also stage and body movement is inversely proportional to the difficulty of what is being played and what this band plays is very technical and difficult. Oh, and Lovebites is the best metal band of this era...hands down.
Lovebites songs are always successful in transferring positive vibes, giving me a power and their lyrics are always spinning in my head.
Their songs are also well composed, uplifting lyrical and made with full heart.
I was so impressed with your reaction, especially about Miyako.
Thank you.
*Miho,* the bass player, assembled the band. *Haruna,* the drummer, had played with her already for some years in another little band that was called DestRose. Miho founded Lovebites with the idea of making a band that played classic metal, that singed in english and that had beautiful ladies on the front. She knew *Miyako* and *Midori* for playing in other little bands from the japanese metal scene, so she made them join. For the last, they were looking for a singer, so they listened to some rock demos and crossed paths with *Asami.* She studied ballet since she was a child. Later she had been a performing as a soul singer in live sessions around for a living. She was also a backup singer for some pop and rock groups. When she joined Lovebites she didn't even know what Heavy Metal was xD
And yeah I do not know how anyone can say that of Miyako (black haired guitar). Awesome guitarists, great shredders, there are hundreds. All of them awesome. But the expression as an artist that Miyako can express with her music, I have seen very few people able to do that in metal. Her artistic expression is precisely her strongest point, imo. And that's to say something, this lady has a lot of strong points, you will see if you go deeper in this journey.
I would recommend Edge of the World, for a song with more clear vocals.
Miho (Bass) and Haruna (Drums) put the band together. They aren't a manufactured band.
Don't worry ......I have been obsessed with Midori (the blonde one) for ages now 😂😂😂
Been a fan of LOVEBITES since 2017, Miho on bass n founder, Haruna on drums n co-founder, Asami on vocals, Midori(Blonde) guitar and Beautiful Miyako on guitar, this song is about COVID in the world in 2020. Song is by Midori and Asami did the words. Miyako is a Perfectionist when she playing. Yes they wear White to be seen on stage Live. The idea on wearing white is the bands deal. No manager or company, thank god, Miho want to show the Beautiful, or girly look of the Band. Big plus, they all write songs, all talented, Their is a RUclips interview video on why, they wear white. 🤘🥰❤LOVEBITES Beautiful Goddess ❤🥰🤘 Cheers
According to the ladies in Lovebites, the reason for the white outfits is to contrast them from other metal bands, because they bring a positive message and want to distance themselves from the traditional black that other metal bands wear. It has nothing to do with making it easier to see them because of their size. They're small, but they're not THAT small, lol! With the 6" heels they wear, they're pretty close to average height on stage.
Also, I'm not sure who told you they never move around on stage, but whoever did apparently hasn't paid much attention to them! There are several songs where they move around a lot, although their movement is understandably limited by their clothing choice to wear high heels. Although Miyako (dark hair) has always been more reserved than Midori (blonde), the stoic and generally expressionless personality she displays onstage is a relatively recent development, and it was a deliberate decision made by both Midori and Miyako, to draw more of a yin-yang contrast between them. If you watch some of their older performances, from 2019 and older, Miyako was much more animated, much more engaging with the crowd, and smiled a lot more. It was in the lead-up to the Electric Pentagram CD and the tour in support of that album that they made the decision to play with their stage personas a bit more. The fun-loving Miyako does still show through on occasion, though.
They have actually said that it is all of the above--to contrast with the Metal image of black outfits, to signal the positivity of their lyrics and messaging vs the darkness of most Metal, and also to be more visible on stage. But good comment, especially the yin-yang contrast. It also shows in their playing styles--the contrast is a huge reason they sound so rich and dynamic.
Second!! Hiu wolfpack fans here😁🤘
Wooolfpaaack !! 👍😁👍
MIYAKO has classical training in PIANO that is why she looks less emotional when performing on stage.
Nice video, please add on the list: Swan Song, Edge Of The World, Epilogue.
Miyako the black haired guitarist also play piano on songs I mentioned above.
Miyako is very stoic and poised on stage. Like a beautiful statue.
Miyako concentrates on her play. Yes, she looks cool. But no problem. She can make her guitar tell her emotions, like Ritchie Blackmore does.
And her parents played her lots of Ritchie, growing up!!
@@alekhidell Is that your own story ? lol
@@progandmetalfan711 No, there is an article talking about how her mother would listen to classic rock when Miyako was growing up, that classic rock influenced her.
@@christopherlidster3918 I see. 👍
Perfect comparison !!!!
The WISER reaction to this band I ever watched. Sooooo accurate!! BRAVO!!
Thank you for the love you give to LOVEBITES
The next music video from Lovebites you got to check out is when destiny's align and wings of Transylvania and the next live performance is The Awakening / the hammer of wrath, addicted, edge of the world and we stand United
Wonderful reaction and comments!
I really like it when a musician analyzes music and musicians! This makes fans more proud! Thank you! Lovebites forever!!!
See you next!
The blonde haired guitar lady always be the female crush for most female reactor. I don't see why wouldn't she be. I mean they're all awesome but there's something about Midori that always catches your attention.
Midori... uniquely exquisite from every perspective.
Princess Midori is stunning, no doubt. Those legs. That hair. Those eyes. That smile. Those fingers! I could go on and on...
@@TheCyberMantis there are a lot of Japanese women that look like her ....I mean her overall look.....in Osaka. She is very Osaka looking.
@@Sabundy I'm moving to Osaka!
Who was the crazy guy who said they dont have emotions ? Miyako expresses her emotions with the sound of her guitar and remember she is the main composer of lovebites music, and a world class pianist ( you can see that in a few lovebites songs like " empty daydream " or "swan song" ( swan song with chopin's prelude" and as a pianist she is trained to hide emotions.and yes : Asami the lead singer did ballet in the U.S .
vous avez quoi dans les oreilles ? Miyako a assez foiré son intro au piano... nervosité, hésitations, dynamique douteuse... et piano electrique déguisé en piano à queue qu'elle ne connaissait pas...
Vous avez effacé votre commentaire me traitant d'âne... je maintiens ce que j'ai dit sur la prestation de Miyako dans l'intro Chopin... mais sur le reste, toutes les fois où elle avait à jouer des parties au clavier, c'était superbe ! notamment sur Rising (live 2020) et son retourné piano/guitare...
Et... sur Swan song (live 2021) elle ne joue QUE la fin au piano... Sûrement à cause du mauvais souvenir de sa prestation (intro live 2020)... Non ? Monsieur aux oreilles bourrées d'excréments de l'âne se son oncle...
Thanks for react to Lovebites , my fav, metal band , other level of musicians , Miyako amazing pianist and guitarrist , check out , etude revolutionary of Chopin and Swan Song .
Miho Miho Miho!
Loved your reaction, as usual. And you are so charming if I may. Only one thing that is missing : no words about Haruna the drummer, maybe because we usually don't see her enough in videos ... she is impressive and so smiling ...
Another great reaction! The band was formed "organically". Miho, the bassist and Haruna, the drummer played together in the band "Destrose" (since disbanded). After leaving Destrose, they decided to form their own band. They recruited Asami (vocal) and Midori (blonde ponytail). Miyako ("no emotion") came in initially as a "support musician", but soon became a permanent member. As you delve more into this band, you will discover that Miyako is also a highly skilled concert pianist. She gives off more that "classical musician" vibe. Midori is graduate of Guitar Institute of Technology, which has produced some of the most technically proficient heavy metal guitar "shredders" (Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Paul Gilbert). So she exhibits more of a "bad ass metal guitarist" vibe. As a heavy metal guitarist myself, I recognize there is a huge difference in the way Midori and Miyako approach guitar playing. But they complement each other flawlessly. I have heard from posts I've read that it was a conscious decision to showcase the different personalities on stage. Whether that comes from the girls themselves, their management, or a combination of both, I don't know. But I do have the very first live DVD they released, and Miyako is much more animated. In any case, yes, word has it Asami has had ballet training. Looking forward to the next one!
about "support musician" - it doesn't mean she was a lesser member at the start, it only means she was involved with another band at the same time so she couldn't be considered a definitive member.
yes Asami took Ballet
What a wonderfully insightful reaction and analysis. You are very right about the contrasts of personality and the reflection of that in the performance. The dark haired "quiet" guitarist is called Miyako and she is arguably the most musically gifted of the band which is, considering that they are all phenomenal musicians, is a very high bar indeed. She has been a musical prodigy from the age of three. Guitar is her SECOND instrument. She is also a concert standard classical pianist and the main composer for the band. To see this virtuosity check out their song "Swan Song" which I think you might identify with having your own song called "Swan Lake" Try and find the version with the piano introduction when she plays Chopin's "Revolutionary Etude" before the beginning of the song (as well as incorporating elements of Dvorak's "New World Symphony" into the main body of the song. In the same live version you'll also see confirmation of another of you insights. Lead singer Asami is indeed a trained ballerina and at the end of "Swan Song" she performs elements of the dance "The Dying Swan" choroegraphed by Mikhail Fokine to Camille Saint-Saens' "The Swan" for legendary ballerina Anna Pavlova. The camera doesn't dwell on her sadly but you can get glimpses of it. "The Dying Swan" is also incorporated into modern interpretations of the ballet "Swan Lake" of course. The depth of talent and the profound thought that goes into this band's music and performance is quite frankly staggering.
Wolfpack is back.
🤘🤩🤘
Music is about emotions.
Music can't exist without emotions
Miyako, the black haired guitarist play the role as the cool character in the band, while the other member had their own characters..
But, believe me, she's a very cheerful girl outside of the band activities😅
She's sometime showing her dog, wampa on her interview..
Thank you for your honest reaction!👍🏻
I always love it!
I'm waiting for your next reaction..
Hope you have a great day!✌🏻
Good reaction. Great song of my favorite band. They are amazing. Love them. Thank you for this reaction.
whoever said myako has no emotions, apparently needs to watch more videos. i love how she's so laid back. she doesn't need to go out her way to impress, her ability to play is impressive enough, love her.
Miyako actually more expressive on stage in the past (Watch Battle in The East show 2018 or Daughters of the Dawn show 2019). The role she's playing on stage since 2020 IMO has something to do with her elegant dress. Love the reaction!
Oh, outstanding review again, and I agree with your every comment again. As you pointed out, every member keeps each personality is the power and their superiority. No one juts out, and 5 totally different characters interfuse and accord as one great and perfect sound. That makes Lovebites as the most unique and outstanding band. Although the drummer and the bassist are top notch players, they don't play solos with few exceptions. They aim to make one perfect sound of the band instead of each player shines individually, nevertheless each one of them is the top level musician. Asami the singer is the last one who joined the group. Since she was a R&B/Jazz singer and knew nothing about metal, she tried adapt her style to metal but the all other members advised her not to. Hence there is a unique metal singer Asami. They have achieved their uniqueness this way.
The dark haired guitarist Miyako, she does not perform other than music. She just tries the best performance as a musician. As you pointed out, her sound is most emotional. She keeps her flaming passion under her cold skin as opposite to Midori the ponytailed guitarist who is an insane speed demon, wants to play in excitement and agitation. Somebody in the Wolfpack described two guitarists as Ice and Fire. This total difference of the two makes the sound so deep and vast and rich. And the other members keep each character, then five different elements harmonize as one perfect sound. This is their unique existence.
Combined file of Chopin Revolutionary Etude + Swan Song is uploaded again. Please try it.

the founder and co founders of this band is Miho the bassist and Haruna the drummer who also played in the band Destrose together before forming Lovebites in 2016
Thats jesus spreading the light in the pandemic. It´s not a religiouis messege but a positive one. I´m not a religiuos man but i has been LOVE"BITTEN" by these fantastic women and their music. By the way the fact you are russian and passionate are perfect, love your reaction.
Love from Sweden
You must see their live video..swan song... it's more different when Miyako play keyboard ... it's so amazing 👍🌹
Miako is also a top word pianist...
Midori (your blond hair guitarist) is shining in gold most beautifully in " Eagle Fly Free( Helloween Cover ).
Check it out if you love her so much ))
Woohoo more of my favorite band besides Jinjer !
You are great 👍
The dark haired girl is Miyako and her personality is being one of the most talented musicians on the planet. Not only a world class guitarist she is an even better pianist. Oh yeah she can play both at the same time. She is a composer and writes most of Lovebites music. So, you might say her personality is being a world class BAD ASS!!!
And when Rick says she can play both at the same time, he means At. The. Same. Time! Check out the Burden of Time video, you'll see what we mean!
Away from the stage, she's sweet and geeky.
@@ChrisPage68 exactly - and this duality adds to her already complex personality. Not to mention she has a tiny zoo at home.
This seems to be a popular myth that Miyako composes most of their music. It's not really true. To date, they have published exactly 50 songs (51 if you count both versions of "Bravehearted"). Miyako has composed 22 of those, Miho 17, Asami 4 and Midori and Haruna have each composed 2.
They are all definitely badass. 🤘
@@Gideon_the_Seeker Of course they are all badass she was just talking about Miyako. Thanks for correcting me. If you want to get super technical about this Mao who plays some background piano and programming for the group has written with Miho on about 90% of the songs (give or take) you have credited her with writing. So Miho is co writer on those songs. Mao has also written with Midori and maybe some of the others.
I Love Haruna, Miho, Miyako, Midori and Asami!!!!! I Love Lovebites!!!!
Lovebites Rules!!!!! Love Japan!!!

LOVEBITES - Glory to the World lyrics:
Everything around us will fall into dark
When you keep on looking into the sadness
Nobody in this world may ever be free
My hearts will shiver and I can't take deep breath
But rains will end, and nights will pass, griefs will purify
The dawn will come and bring the light in this world
Grace to my heart, Hallelujah
I know you really care for me
So I leave everything in your hands
You'd walk with me all the way
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all
Time will come where we feel the love and the reason to be me
Standing in nowhere and searching for meanings
A sleepless night haunting us like a shadow
A blur in the future, the fear of unknown
There will come a time where we can leave everything behind
Breeze are running through the land and endless to the sky
Together we will make it through this deep night
Grace to my heart, Hallelujah
I know you really care for me
So I leave everything in your hands
You'd walk with me all the way
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all
Time will come where we feel the love and the reason to be me
And rains will end, and nights will pass, griefs will purify
The dawn will come and bring the light and lead us to a new world
Grace to my heart, Hallelujah
I know you really care for me
So I leave everything in your hands
You'd walk with me all the way
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all
Wherever you go, this world that we breathe together,
Nothing more precious

lyrics: asami
music: midori & Mao
arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami)
Thanks for reacting to amazing Lovebites. Miyako shows her emotions through her guitar and piano playing. For nice piano and vocals I recommend the songs “Empty daydream”, “Epilogue”, “Edge of the world” and “Swan song”. In the song “Dancing with the devil” Asami showcases her bluesy vocals. All songs live if possible. In an interview, Miho said that they want to play as heavy as men but keeping their femininity. Some people say that they’re redefining metal.
Great great great reaction of a great band! I agree with everything you said, I just want to point out the lyrics....beautiful!!! Great job!
This song was composed by blonde ponytail guitarist Midori.
a great, expertly and entertaining rection/analysis. thank you. miyako expresses her emotions onstage through music. she doesn´t need theatrical. lovebites is something else. I would recommend edge of the world live next, which highlights asamis voice.
Great reaction. Thank goodness for a reactor who does not complain about Miyako's (black haired guitarist) stage precence and her seeming lack of emotion. Miyako shows her emotions in her playing and through her finger tips. Personally I think her stage precence is very cool and the contast between her and Midori's (blond guitarist) personality and style of playing are one of the best things about Lovebites. You should react to Lovebites 'Swan Song' with Miyako playing Chopin's Revolutionary Etude as the intro. The piano is really Miyako's primary instrument and the guitar her second but she is equally proficient on both instruments.
Dude, her guitar is freakin' HEAVVY as well !!
Ms Emotionless. hahaha. Miyako is the definition of passion and emotion, being the main composer of the band(although they all can write). She is a true musical savant.
Japanese culture must also be remembered when commenting on introverts and extraverts, one only needs to look to Misa from BANDMAID extremely talented bassist yet like Miyako she also keeps to herself and is known to be very shy,,
misa?
@@bonered9210 Yes, the bassist in Band-Maid.
Nice comparison , but they are both silent killers.
Miho (Bass) (defacto leader, red? curled hair) and Haruna (Drums)(Nickname: Energizer Bunny, she is actually the smallest of the group) are co-founders; Midori (Guitar 2, with blond ponytail, very expressive); Miyako (Guitar 1 & Keyboards, dark hair, "ice queen"... shows her passion in her performance, off stage she has a great sense of humor, she was a child prodigy with music and has amazing talent, she also writes most if not all of the arrangements for their music. ); Which brings us to the vocalist, Asami. Beautiful lady, very tiny, but still taller than Haruna. Asami studied Ballet in the US, I have no idea how long she was here, but she speaks English quite well, if not fluent. I believe she was instrumental in deciding to sing all their songs in English.) Overall, I love this group. I can only pray they will tour the USA once this pandemic is over with. I can only hope they would do a performance in Knoxville, TN the nearest city to me... Anastasia, than you for doing what you do. Spasiba basho.
Wolfpack is HERE for LOVEBITES! Asami - vocals, Midori - guitar, Miyako - guitar/piano, Miho - bass, Haruna - drums.

The emotion issue is ridiculous. Every note, Every refrain,Every bridge, etc... is drenched with emotional as well as professor level technical abilities. They are like a Master Class in how too be a world Revered Metal band. If you hadnt noticed their fan base is quite inclusive as well as every demographic from every place on the planet you can think of. Their Official FB Fan page is a testament too how far these 5 Powerful Women are reaching. Thank you Anastasia for bringing an accomplished Vocalists input into these reactions.
I believe she plays that way because of her many years training as a professional pianist. If you notice, most world class classical musicians have that same expression on their recitals.
the best guitar DUO!!!!
I realy realy like your react and i do agree with your opinion about Miyako that everybody have their own personality and their own style to expression their emotion.
Miyako started as a classical pianist. They teach them to be still and composed.. all focused and not to break the correct playing posture. It must affect her stage presence.
That's true, still she had more of a "classic rocker" behaviour in her former bands - I think that with Lovebites she's extremely perfectionnist and focus a lot on the quality of the performance
Me Yuck! CO 😂🤣😂🤣😅

Your recognition of each one is greatly appreciated and rightfully deserved.
Yes she did ballet, and also RnB background in singing. graceful yet powerhouse .
Miho said she always wanted to play a combination of power metal and "a little bit of old school [heavy metal]." She also noted that their decision to wear all-white clothing, as opposed to the genre's stereotypical black, was made to contrast with their old school sound and have them stand out.
I love you I love your coments...

YOU SAY YOU DONT KNOW HOW THEY DO THIS IN HEELS, AS MUCH AS I LOVE THIS ASPECT, I HAVE TO LOOK AT THE GUITARS, I LOVER DRUMMERS AND HARUNA, AND AKANE FROM BANDMAID KEEP ME WONDERING HOW THEY KEEP UP THE PACE. THE GIRL WITH DARK HAIR, MYAKO KEEPS ME AT A LOSS FOR WORDS, HER ABILITIES ARE STUNNING, AND THERES SOMETHING ABOUT HER , THAT PULLS ME TOWARDS HER. MIDORI IS JUST AS GOOD BUT I LOVE WHEN THEY PLAY TOGETHER, THAT IS PURE MAGIC
Miho (bassist) founded the band with Haruna (drummer). They subsequently recruited Midori & Miyako (the guitarists) and then Asami (the vocalist). No producer 'put them together'.
I'm glad that you understood Miyako (the dark haired guitarist). I've heard many people criticize her for her lack of expression on stage. She started learning classical piano when she was 3 years old and continues to play it. In their concert at the beginning of last year, she actually played Chopin's "Revolutionary Etude." Classical pianists are not known for showing a lot of emotion on stage, with the possible exception of Yuja Wang. She started teaching herself guitar when she was 18, and is completely self taught. She also composes and arranges the majority of their songs. She even taught herself to play bass guitar so can wrote those parts as well. Midori ( the blond guitarist) was formally taught guitar and plays with a traditional metal style, while Miyako is always experimenting with her style. When she buys a new guitar, she always changes all of the electronics to get the exact sound she's looking for. As is typical for classical musicians, she lets her emotions out in her music. She has played some soulful solos that will rip your heart out. If you want to really see who Miyako is, I recommend you watch "Swan Song" - the version that starts with her playing Chopin's Etude.
LOVEBITES - Glory to the World lyrics (Russian):
Все вокруг нас погрузится во тьму
Когда ты продолжаешь смотреть в грусть
Никто в этом мире никогда не может быть свободным
Мои сердца будут дрожать, и я не могу глубоко вздохнуть
Но дожди закончатся, и ночи пройдут, скорби очистят
Придет рассвет и принесет свет в этот мир
Милость моему сердцу, аллилуйя
Я знаю, ты действительно заботишься обо мне
Поэтому я оставляю все в твоих руках
Ты бы шел со мной всю дорогу
Научиться любить себя
Это величайшая любовь из всех
Придет время, когда мы почувствуем любовь и причину быть мной.
Стоять в никуда и искать смыслы
Бессонная ночь преследует нас, как тень
Размытие в будущем, страх неизвестного
Придет время, когда мы сможем оставить все позади
Ветер летит по земле и бесконечно летит в небо
Вместе мы пройдем через эту глубокую ночь
Милость моему сердцу, аллилуйя
Я знаю, ты действительно заботишься обо мне
Поэтому я оставляю все в твоих руках
Ты бы шел со мной всю дорогу
Научиться любить себя
Это самая большая любовь всего
Придет время, когда мы почувствуем любовь и причину быть мной.
И дожди закончатся, и ночи пройдут, скорби очистят
Придет рассвет и принесет свет и приведет нас в новый мир
Милость моему сердцу, аллилуйя
Я знаю, ты действительно заботишься обо мне
Поэтому я оставляю все в твоих руках
Ты бы шел со мной всю дорогу
Научиться любить себя
Это величайшая любовь из всех
Куда бы вы ни пошли, этот мир, которым мы дышим вместе,
Ничего дороже
You got a song called "Swan Lake"? Lovebites got a song called "Swan Song".. 😆
You could watch Raise some Hell live, the hole band are really having fun on the stage, even Miyako "no emotions" lol
think it goes back to both the guitarist learning piano from a early age
They have said in interviews that the two guitar players intentionally exaggerate the contrast in their personalities while on stage. You're definitely correct that Miyako isn't emotionless, it's just displayed in a way more typical of classical musicians than rock musicians.
Also, as far as I can tell it's not unusual from Japanese music videos to have the lyrics shown, often as subtitles but sometimes in a more flashy graphical way (Unlucky Morpheus "Top Of The M" for example). Lovebites lyrics are all in English, but Asami definitely has an accent, and the cadence is often different from how a native speaker would normally sing those words.
They put themselves together. Miho, the bass guitarist, and Haruna, the drummer, were in a band called Destrose. Miyako and Midori, the guitarists, were each in different bands, and those four knew each other to various degrees through the music festival scene in Japan. When Destrose finally split after having having nearly every woman in Japan in their lineup, Miho wanted to put together a band that reflected the music she loved when she was growing up. The four of them needed a vocalist, and Asami was available, wanted to do something different, and had put out a rock demo. Miho heard it and liked the power in Asami's voice, so they invited her to join.
As for the video, the church, at least the interior, is a real building. Another Japanese power metal band, Galneryus, filmed the video for "Angel of Salvation" there, and I've heard of another group or two shooting there. The guy in the video is supposed to be a representation of Jesus reincarnated in modern times; that's why he's got blood on his hands and forehead. I feel like he's supposed to be a bit amnesiac, too, and that LOVEBITES playing in the church are a guiding light, but that's just me theorizing.
That chorus reminds me of an Angra song and it is awesome. Can't recall the name. Amazing song
Watch Band Maid DOMINATION live. This is power metal, Band Maid is rock. Apples and oranges but the best respectively.
There are documentaries here on RUclips that absolutely back up your statement - you see Miyako (dark hair) laughing and chatting happily with the others and a bit later, just before Lovebite's performance in Tokyo (2020 or 2021 - don't remember exactly), how this exceptional artist gets nervous and more and more quiet, but then shines on stage with such world-class ability - just more reserved than her congenial counterpart Midori, also a stunningly brilliant - for me - world-class guitarist.
I also think that Midori's experiences at bodybuilding events, this radiant appearance in public supports her more personal, more expressive nature - the moto: no matter how you are doing, you shine brightly for the world with your wonderful smile. This is Midori for me.
Thank you for understanding Miyako's appearance of cool. She is a classically trained musician, and doesn't need to thrash around to show her feelings--it is all there in her playing. Yes, Asami studied ballet, you have a good eye. Miho, the bassist, is the soul of the band, and is the most devoted to heavy metal. You can see her passion for the music. Great reaction and analysis.
Lovebites just do Lovebites thing. Miho the bass player ( i think it was her dream to have a band in white as stageoutfit ) and 145 cm Haruna the pocket nuke behind the drums started this band. They found the ponytail Midori and Miyako for guitarists. The from the beginning R a B singer Asami was last in and never have sang metal. So the band grow kind of organic. They have a "6" member, Mao is contributing with arr and some composing. He played synth in the band Light Bringer. There they have the singer Fuki that now sings in another amazing band. Unlucky Morpheus. Lovebites songmixing is done so far from the same ppl that soundmix Nightwish in Finland.
So glad you are getting into Lovebites. I think you will find this MV interesting because Asami uses all her power to belt out the chorus… which surprises many given how tiny she is. Also Midori (your girl crush) doesn’t have blonde hair OR a ponytail in this video (and personally I think it suits her better). Great reaction, you make it very interesting and watchable. Oh, and yes, Asami did first train as a ballet dancer before taking up singing… jazz and RnB.

Yeah Miyako the dark hair she reminds a lot of her inspiration guitarist one of the best all time guitar players Richie Blackmore from Deep Purple and Rainbow. And the other guitarist Midori her style its like Yngwe Malmsteen that she learned to play faster. About Asami the vocalist she start learning ballet at age of three. So her movements are so graceful. Now you got another song on RUclips please don't miss it try soon as possible until is not taken down. The song is called We the United live from Five of a kind in Zepp Diversity Tokyo. Enjoy it.
Love you, greets from Lisbon :)
Yes you´re right.How could them have no emotions creating this music? This one and many others are Miyako compositions.The lady who shreds the solo guitar(and who also plays classic piano).No emotions? Lovebites are fire and HOPE in this dark world
This is a Midori/Mao/Asami composition, Miyako doesn't write everything. Check your liner notes.

Japanese bands, with boys or girls (or both) have some twists in them, because japanese culture have some aspects who are really different from the western ones.
A lot of bands in Japan have "uniforms", some kind of clothes who "defines" them. They have they "cute dresses", Band Maid have the maid costumes, from years another band: Scandal uses uniforms who looks like schoolar ones (they start playing in High School), etc.
Also a lot of bands have a "role playing" on they public relations. One is the wild, another the shy, etc... this can be related with their personality but is also a role to play in public for the audience. In Japan the separation between public and private life if really strict. People don´t harasses public figures and the details of her private life are... private. Asking about intimate details are considered very rude. Some girls in bands are married and even have children, but they only publish a little thing about this and nothing else. People don´t go asking for irrelevant details. One person is the "public one" and they also have a private life and no one ask details about this.
Also they think the followers, the fans are customers. They deserve a good show. They pay for it, so in live performances they smile or act like the "public persona". Does not matter if they have a bad day, a headache... they are professionals and you pay for a performance. At least they think in this way.
There´s really a lot of great bands in Japan. Girls, boys or both. A really great number of them, but the language barrier and also the little interest from the japanese record labels to reach the western market is the reason because a lot are unknow here.
Also, music is an compulsory subject in a lot of schools in Japan. They also have to learn to play an instrument, any instrument in High School, so every year you have thousands of new players. Some of them really good, so the level of professional bands is really high.
I generally agree. Though I wouldn't say that there is no harassment in Japan. That sadly happens all around the world.
Miyako en los conciertos del en vivo "Daughters of the Dawn" esta mas emocional o en su canal con sus mascotas, o en backstages videos, ella es seria y reservada.
Good Reaction❤️Next songs Raise Some Hell, Hammer Of Wrath, Break The Wall, Scream For Me, watch their crazy solos'♪♪...
Haruna ftw the win! Those drums are always so solid
LOVEBITES "HEAVY METAL NEVER DIES - LIVE IN TOKYO 2021" Trailer
Just a little note on the other subject, Night wish rescheduled for May 2022 in NY.
they do always wear white, at their live shows and music videos. they weren’t always so princessy tho lol they have gotten more fancy as time passed. they used to look kinda piratey at one point IMO i liked those outfits too tho~~
What I get from Miyako (the dark haired one) is she is on the introverted side and can get a bit nervous about being in front of people at times. When discussing about their show after lockdowns the other members cried at being happy to perform again however Miyako said she was more preoccupied with not messing up she didn't. It's my speculation but I think the cool persona may also help her play on stage so she doesn't split her concentration on playing and being showy. However she will open up when discussing her passion in music or when excited like when they show off their Metal Hammer award or in a lightened mood like when Dragonforce had invited them on stage for My Heart Will Go On where Herman comes out in a white dress and "Farming Simulator" where they throw in some guitar work while Sam does a silly banjo solo.
If You want to see the real emotions from Mihako (black air) react to : Chopin etude + Swan song!
LOVEBITES / When Destinies Align

チャンネル登録させて頂きました。
これからも頑張って下さい
LOVEBITESの応援もお願い致します
ちなみに、LOVEBITESにも"swansong"という曲があります。
～from japan～
I heard "winter".
You're a metal vocalist, right? I was very impressed.
I also want to hear "Swan Lake".
I subscribed to the channel.
We support you in the future.
Please support LOVEBITES as well.
By the way, LOVEBITES also has a song called "Swan Song".
If you really want to fangirl over Midori (the blonde one) then you really should watch and react to their live performance of "break the wall"
I agree, Miyako is not bored, she she is stoic, but exudes a lot of emotions when she plays. and if you doubt that, I recommend you hear her play alone, in plain clothes on a stage that focuses on the amps behind her playing Gary Moore's ¨Parisienne Walkways¨ (ruclips.net/video/bMmkDttnR7k/видео.html). which is also my recommendation for a reaction video... its just that good.
The man in MV isn't a prince, but an image of Christ.
I have heard gripes about Lovebites doesn't show a lot of emotion. For me, it doesn't matter if a band is all over the stage or stuck in one spot the whole show, if the music moves you, that is all the emotion I need from a band. There is a song called Edge Of The World by Lovebites. They don't move much during the song but it is so good and intense, it's all the emotion I need. The song hits me in all the right spots.
