Behold the power of Miyako! ❤ Lovebites entire performance is polished professionalism. Their positions on stage are choreographed to highlight and underscore elements of each musical movement in their song. As for the crowd placement, you should know that this concert took place in Japan. The people’s entire culture is one of precision and overall good behavior and good manners. I cringe to go to concerts in America where immature rowdy behavior is tolerated and spoils the musical experience for everyone else who came to see the performance. It’s as if the crowd mindset is one of “look at me and how much I can disturb your enjoyment of the show.”
When I watched the DVD for the first time, I had to rewind the part with Haruna doing the conducting with her sticks....did I just see what I think I saw? That was epic!!!!
LOVEBITES - Rising lyrics & credits & credits: Failure or pride? The fear deep inside Success doesn't come with a few empty tries Fortune and fame, seem easy to claim But those who've succeeded defeated the pain Why give up on a life that you love? Play the game with no shame till the very end RISE AGAIN - though you're broken and scarred... You can choose, not to lose, you can build it again! DON'T LET GO - of what's deep in your heart You are free to fly, go and change your destiny! Too late to change? The past will remain But it's up to you to decide on a name Glory is not what miracles brought The path you have taken will lead you the way Why give up on a life that you love? Play the game with no shame till the very end LIVE AGAIN - with the vows in your heart Even if you get lost in the darkest of nights DON'T FORGET - that you've made it this far Show your scars with pride and believe your history... Sometimes we can't see the light anywhere Sometimes we don't have our luck in the air Almost like we've been left by ourselves I'm alone, you're alone, somewhere in the world But open your arms, look up and you will see an endless blue sky l believe, you believe, we will live out today So it leads to tomorrow! SOLO: midori / miyako / midori / miyako / both RISE AGAIN - though you're broken and scarred You can choose, not to lose, you can build it again DON'T LET GO - of what's deep in your heart You are free to fly, rise above your fate! LIVE AGAIN - with the vows in your heart Even if you get lost in the darkest of nights DON'T FORGET - that you've made it this far You are free to fly, go and change your destiny! ----- lyrics: asami music: miyako arrangement: miyako & LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) album: Clockwork Immortality 12/05/2018 -----
Right exactly, our brains don't work like that. 16 beat to walz back to 16 beat again without missing a single beat, as if she is playing the same rhythm with the same instrument.
This is that "shameless" uplifting sing-along Power metal song from LOVEBITES that would make RHAPSODY (OF FIRE) jealous. 😉 Of course, when I say "sing-along", I mean there are enough spots for the crowd to go "Ooooh-oh", since Asami hardly ever makes it easy on herself by writing simplistic lyrics! 😄 Can't fault the perfect rhythm and enthusiasm this track generates, even if, when forced to choose, I love some others better. I believe the ladies DO rehearse their positioning, or "choreography" if you will, for their Live shows, but here it was just simple moment of working the crowd, going up there together, leg on a stand for one of the mentioned sing-along sections. Then, they have to get back to their pedal boards for the solos. For more precise "choreography", you gotta have a look at songs like "A Frozen Serenade", "Today Is the Day" or "Nameless Warrior" Live, to witness quite a lot going on. This brought to my mind another point... Each of them has to show good reflexes when getting from instrument to instrument as the song demands it - but Miyako IS incredibly quick. On the mentioned "A Frozen Serenade", I swear the last piano chord has not yet rung out when her riff starts. It is like 1 second. 😎 How she flips that switch in her mind technically from piano to guitar, only she knows; must be in the way she learned the guitar transposing chords from piano - but I am just making an assumption... And, of course, you can always tell when Haruna loves a song! She makes no secret about it! 🤩 I used to think some of those songs are just too easy for her, but she also sings and is obviously having a blast with "Soldier Stands Solitarily", which is no one's idea of an uncomplicated song!
Songs where the ladies use the mic's with Asami: Stand and Deliver M.D.O. Hammer of Wrath Raise Some Hell Empty Daydream Thunder Vengeance There are some others, but these are what come to mind right now.
On some songs the other band members DO sing back up. Miyako and founder/former bassist Miho both have beautiful singing voices. Miyako in particular has a very clear soprano. If you look carefully, you will see that both guitarists and the bassist have their pedal boards by their microphone stands. Miyako especially has a very large set up. Unlike Midori who uses Kemper profilers, Miyako is old school analogue, and her set up is very complex, at least it looks so to none musician me. When I saw them in London Miyako was using a much simpler set up, it looked like a digital sequencer of some description to me, others who saw them in the UK/Europe last summer may have a better idea. Most of their equipment for that tour was hired, they only had their personal instruments with them as far as I could see, (and Haruna had a couple of her 'Star Cymbals') To hear Miho and Miyako singing back up to Asami give this from 2019 a listen ruclips.net/video/lXh_uMM94jU/видео.html
Their pedals are by the mics. They certainly do sing backing vocals during the show and i guess the walking forward and back is just to create a bit of movement on stage - whether they need access to their pedals or not.
True.. I’ve seen them sing vocals plenty of time, the movement back and forth was very structured & wondered why.. the pedals are back there, good call
As already mentioned by others, this song has a video with Asami's singing and Miyako's piano accompaniment. The video is not a metal Rising, but a full R&B, and shows Asami's true talent. The video is like a private video, so the image and sound quality are not the best, but I think it's worth listening to. (You don't have to broadcast your reactions, but please enjoy it in your own time.) * LOVEBITES Asami & Miyako [Rising] Acoustic ---------- from Nippon *This text was translated from Japanese to English using Google Translate. I hope the meaning is conveyed correctly.
I love this song. The lyrics, that piano section in the middle, the overall melody. Also how Asami usually starts it with “Sing with me!” And how could you not? I like the 2020 version of this a bit more, but really like too that it’s a reaction from their official site. Whenever we can support their official videos it’s a plus. Shout out to Haruna too. She’s amazing back there.
Miyako herself says that the piano is her main instrument, guitar only second. I find it hard to agree with that cause there are lots of incredible classical pianists (Yuja Wang !!!) but i can only name a few better guitarists in the world right now....
A great and uplifting song by the Metal Queens 👑. The music video of this song has stunningly beautiful scenery and there is also a version of the song with just Miyako on the piano and Asami singing.
The acoustic one would be a priority to look into and compare, since it uncovers new and more emotional sides of the song (just like, e. g., "How's the Heart?" by NIGHTWISH, another piece where both versions bring new insights).
Hey Dave.. There is a mv of rising and a 2021 concert version. You should do yourself a favour and watch them.. They are fantastic.. Best wishes glad you are feeling better
Love all ur Lovebites reactions . Yeah...we know u like Miyako so much.. the other members u only refer as the drummer , the singer .... hahaha. Looking forward for next one. #miyakorules
Check out official video too for this song bro-when you find some time. Its very nice. Lovebites is the reason why i love metal again after few years i didnt listened to any harder sound music. So melodic, classical influenced, talented and amazing live. These girls are the future of metal music
Is there something Miyako can't do? I feel like playing the piano or the guitar at that level has to be quite something but both? And the drummer is just all sorts of adorable while being epic, kind of wished I could watch a whole song just focused on her to get a better feel of just how much she has to do and how much talent it requires.
Maybe it's just me, and I don't mean to sound like a nag, but Fami is the name of the bassist. It seems you either don't know this or just forget because she is the new edition to the band. Anyway, I did enjoy you reaction immensely. Cheers.
2 other songs miyako goes over to play piano on are Swan Song with Chopin Intro/A Frozen Serenade They sing backups in An Empty Daydrean/Burden of time/Break The Wall/Hammer of Wrath quite a few songs

Very true! American concerts are so much diff!
Haruna is the happiest, funniest and sing-a-long, stick twirling, conducting epic drummer. She is amazing our little big engine ❤❤❤❤
She really is!
First place with Akane from Band-Maid :)
When I watched the DVD for the first time, I had to rewind the part with Haruna doing the conducting with her sticks....did I just see what I think I saw? That was epic!!!!
LOVEBITES - Rising lyrics & credits & credits:
Failure or pride? The fear deep inside
Success doesn't come with a few empty tries
Fortune and fame, seem easy to claim
But those who've succeeded defeated the pain
Why give up on a life that you love?
Play the game with no shame till the very end
RISE AGAIN - though you're broken and scarred...
You can choose, not to lose, you can build it again!
DON'T LET GO - of what's deep in your heart
You are free to fly, go and change your destiny!
Too late to change? The past will remain
But it's up to you to decide on a name
Glory is not what miracles brought
The path you have taken will lead you the way
Why give up on a life that you love?
Play the game with no shame till the very end
LIVE AGAIN - with the vows in your heart
Even if you get lost in the darkest of nights
DON'T FORGET - that you've made it this far
Show your scars with pride and believe your history...
Sometimes we can't see the light anywhere
Sometimes we don't have our luck in the air
Almost like we've been left by ourselves
I'm alone, you're alone, somewhere in the world
But open your arms, look up and you will see an endless blue sky
l believe, you believe, we will live out today
So it leads to tomorrow!
SOLO: midori / miyako / midori / miyako / both
RISE AGAIN - though you're broken and scarred
You can choose, not to lose, you can build it again
DON'T LET GO - of what's deep in your heart
You are free to fly, rise above your fate!
LIVE AGAIN - with the vows in your heart
Even if you get lost in the darkest of nights
DON'T FORGET - that you've made it this far
You are free to fly, go and change your destiny!

For me I solve the puzzle with a LOVEBITES song title "We The United" 😉
I’ll check it out! Thanks

Yeah it’s completely astonishing to watch
Miyako jumping to the piano with her guitar strapped over her chest and jumping back up to shred is musically badass. She's a rare talent.
SUPPPPPERRRRR RARE!!!

I’ve heard them sing back up, I was wondering about the motion of moving from the mics back to the mics without singing
Their pedals are by the mics. They certainly do sing backing vocals during the show and i guess the walking forward and back is just to create a bit of movement on stage - whether they need access to their pedals or not.
True.. I’ve seen them sing vocals plenty of time, the movement back and forth was very structured & wondered why.. the pedals are back there, good call
You can see them use the mics for backing vocals in Empty Daydream. 😊😊🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

I enjoyed it.. and she’s a drumming machine!!
Great song! Definitely, top 3 for me! You just can’t go wrong with Lovebites!
You really can’t!
Miyako herself says that the piano is her main instrument, guitar only second. I find it hard to agree with that cause there are lots of incredible classical pianists (Yuja Wang !!!) but i can only name a few better guitarists in the world right now....
It’s hard for me to tell which is her fav or which she is best at..
❤️🔥🤘🏼🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🤘🏼❤️🔥
🤘🏼THATS ENTERTAINMENT🤘🏼
I love the part the crowd gets in on the chant, I am pumping my fist along with them. Nice reaction! 🤘🐺🤘
Thanks bro! 🤘
A great and uplifting song by the Metal Queens 👑. The music video of this song has stunningly beautiful scenery and there is also a version of the song with just Miyako on the piano and Asami singing.
Def have to check those out!
The acoustic one would be a priority to look into and compare, since it uncovers new and more emotional sides of the song (just like, e. g., "How's the Heart?" by NIGHTWISH, another piece where both versions bring new insights).
All five of these young women could step into any band in the world and add something special.
Facts!
There's an acoustic version of this song performed by Miyako and Asami which you can also check out : ruclips.net/video/-ZLUdCgJmjw/видео.html
Awesome thanks!
Hey Dave..
There is a mv of rising and a 2021 concert version. You should do yourself a favour and watch them.. They are fantastic..
Best wishes glad you are feeling better
Thanks man!! Who’s Dave?? 😂
And there's the "acoustic version" from Asami's 2020 birthday party (unplugged, but awesome!)...
@rainerzufall42 And it has such a different energy that it's almost a completely different song. So awesome. 😊
@@RynnoReactsHa ha my bad . Sorry about that.. Getin old man sorry
LOVEBITES❤️🔥ES ARTE🤘🏻
Agreed!
Love all ur Lovebites reactions . Yeah...we know u like Miyako so much.. the other members u only refer as the drummer , the singer .... hahaha. Looking forward for next one. #miyakorules
😂 that’s unintentional but I’m reacting to so many bands, I truly suck with names!
Check out official video too for this song bro-when you find some time. Its very nice. Lovebites is the reason why i love metal again after few years i didnt listened to any harder sound music. So melodic, classical influenced, talented and amazing live. These girls are the future of metal music
Added!
Yeah, you aren't going to get this level of skills, variety and musicality anywhere else in metal that I know of.
Simply never miss!
ASAMI and MIYAKO can't miss anything, they are the best. Especially duet version.
They kill it together!!
Midori y Miyako son las 2 mejores guitarristas del mundo en sus sólo cómo dúo ❤❤❤❤❤
You are looking at the Japanese, one of the most respectful and disciplined culture.
That they are!
🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺
🤘
Is there something Miyako can't do? I feel like playing the piano or the guitar at that level has to be quite something but both? And the drummer is just all sorts of adorable while being epic, kind of wished I could watch a whole song just focused on her to get a better feel of just how much she has to do and how much talent it requires.
Well said!
Maybe it's just me, and I don't mean to sound like a nag, but Fami is the name of the bassist. It seems you either don't know this or just forget because she is the new edition to the band. Anyway, I did enjoy you reaction immensely. Cheers.
Thanks for watching
What about doing both
🤘
😀 🤘
2 other songs miyako goes over to play piano on are Swan Song with Chopin Intro/A Frozen Serenade
They sing backups in An Empty Daydrean/Burden of time/Break The Wall/Hammer of Wrath quite a few songs
I think I’ve done both of those??? Swan song I know I have!
