That solo in When Destinies Align must be one of the tastiest gutar solos in metal history!!! I do like the MV of that song ' couse it is more intense! The MV for Winds of Transylvania ( Vladlove version ) is sick and fun at the same time!
LOVEBITES - Winds Of Transylvania lyrics: Sneaking to that vein, ever devotion Taking in my hands, satisfaction Deep into the neck, only delusion Can't resist, insane tonight Shining like a vine, never enough Dripping off my hand, cause of desire Piece of tragedy, fading in moonlight Sink in red, I'm falling down Painting truth and lies, over and under Chasing round 'n' round, closer to thunder Pushing to the edge, never surrender Shades of cross inside of my head Flaming memories of the past Burn inside of the bloody red eyes Lying Borderline of a Castle Winds of Transylvania Innocent lullaby, chasing everywhere, Fleeting empty fate Break it down, like a game and I go fallin' now Make it all end A silent break of dawn, now the curtain rise Blood, Thirsty like a lost butterfly Reaching in now to get you, but then let you go again Veil searching us under the moonlight Let me in to a place by immortal fascination Now, show me the way of the parade tonight SOLO: miyako / midori / both Sneaking to that vein, ever devotion Taking in my hands, satisfaction Deep into the neck, only delusion Can't resist, insane tonight Flaming memories of the past Burn inside of the bloody red eyes Lying Borderline of a Castle Winds of Transylvania Innocent lullaby, chasing everywhere, Fleeting empty fate Break it down, like a game and I go fallin' now Make it all end A silent break of dawn, now the curtain rise Blood, Thirsty like a lost butterfly Reaching in now to get you, but then let you go again Veil searching us under the moonlight Let me in to a place by immortal fascination Now, show me the way of the parade tonight I wait and see Take me away to paradise LOVEBITES ! ----- lyrics: asami music: asami & Mao arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) & Mao album: Glory, Glory To The World 03/10/2021
Lovebites are the best that could have happened to metal music. The elegance and incredible ease with which they cover the full spectrum of the genre and then further develop it is unprecedented in my opinion. Other bands can give me good times, but Lovebites go beyond that - they make me happy.
I am with you, I love these Ladies, they are friggin AWESOME, great music, great lyrics, there are no bad songs, and of course their performances are awesome, new CD is awesome too, thx for doing multiples, just can't get enough of these Ladies
They're amazing. Thunder Vengeance has the best curtain drop, but you've done that one. I suggest Awakening - Hammer of Wrath ruclips.net/video/otJZPUCwyOM/видео.html Break the Wall ruclips.net/video/5Pc0XK0lNmU/видео.html and then maybe Stand and Deliver from the new album ruclips.net/video/4ImGA7cPyrs/видео.html That would be a great triple-header!
Given that you like to do 3 together I'd like to suggest you do the entire encore from their 2020 Five of a Kind show at Zepp DiverCity. It starts with the enthusiastic crowd and The Awakening which is an instrumental intro followed by Hammer of Wrath, Edge of the World and We the United and then a well deserved bow. Brilliant!!!!!!
GREAT reaction by the way. TRIPLE !!! i,ve seen a double now and then but man you are breaking the bank with 3 songs. the only downside is that you can't save one for later. the upside is that there is still much to see and hear. you can never get too much LOVEBITES. i'm loving that you get miyako right from the start. her calm and stoic demeanor as opposed to midori's crowd pumping moves are special to me. she has this soulful expression a lot of the time that tells you she is really into her playing. i've heard more than one reactor complain about her not moving around too much but they aren't paying attention.
there are a lot of LOVEBITES tshirts out there for purchase and i have 3. the only thing that disappoints me is that i have not been able to find one with their photo on it. i am asked often what LOVEBITES is and i go into a rundown on who they are and give some details. if i had a picture on a shirt i would simply point to them and say " they are just the best band of badass ladies you've ever heard" !
Wow another 3 reactions, awesome comment, thank you, carry on, they never disappointed, many crazy not producing, Haruna always be a little big engine, so crunchy 👍👍👍
As I've commented on other reactors' channels...bands write songs, Lovebites composes masterpieces. The bands today just don't write music like Lovebites, imho. A Frozen Serenade being the perfect example. They do face melting thrash then drop that on you...unreal. What other metal band does that, none I can think of. I love metal, grew up on 80s metal - they are my favorite band period...without a second thought. They are all 11s out of 10s skill-wise, however, Haruna is the MVP for me. She's on-time every time and the driving force 99% of the time. She may be 4' 9" but plays like an absolute giant. Pound for pound, her pace is unmatched...to think she does that for 90-120mins is insane. Love your double / triple play reactions! Recommend you do The Apocalypse / Under the Red Sky / Above the Black Sea all live. First 2 are about Hiroshima bombings and last one believe they envisioned having to do with Kamikaze pilots. All are bangers. Keep it going! 🤘
Asami wanted a sad winter ballad "A Frozen Serenade", because Electric Pentagram came out in winter, Asami wanted acoustic guitar, Miyako recorded the acoustic guitar, but Live Midori has to play it because Miyako is busy on piano! Lyrics: Asami Music: Asami/Mao
Non ! Paroles Asami, musique Asami/Mao, arrangements Lovebites... Je sais qu'on adore Miyako mais il faut rendre à César ce qui est à César ! No! lyrics by Asami, music by Asami/Mao, arrangements by Lovebites... I know we love Miyako, but we must give credit where credit is due!
As far as I remember from a Twitter post, Midori Tatematsu built this ESP Flying V guitar herself. Midori is employed by ESP. This woman does bodybuilding, builds guitars and plays them like hell. What a woman.🤘🤘
Yes. You're right. Midori participated in the manufacture of this guitar together with the specialists of the ESP Guitar Craft Academy (Sendai city) in 2019. Which is confirmed by the inscription on the headstock GCA Sendai
For me, Lovebites are the best band ever. I mean it. The very best. Asami is almost literally a princess. Her walk down the stairs and the way she is so serene are a joy to watch.
LOVEBITES - A Frozen Serenade lyrics: Crystal tears Falling from the skies Veiling fears The emptiness inside Time is just passing by Killing me under the soft twilight A frozen melody Of doves and ravens dancing in melancholy A distant memory If only this snow could erase the pain I'd wake up in a serenade One life ends And one life begins Evanesce To our origins When I'm lost on my way Lead my heart and guide me with your grace A frozen melody Of doves and ravens dancing in melancholy A distant memory If only this snow could erase the pain I'd wake up in a serenade Just like a dream, just like a bird I'll keep on singing out Even if my voice cannot reach you Seasons may pass, but its beauty will never fade away All living things are precious and irreplaceable Just like a dream, just like a bird I'll keep on singing out Even if my voice cannot reach you White butterflies are fluttering under the silver sky If only I could wish to see you once more ----- lyrics: asami music: asami & Mao arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) & Mao album: Electric Pentagram 01/29/2020
Thunder Vengeance was the 2nd song I ever saw by them, and it sealed the deal for me. When I first saw Frozen Serenade....wow. Even further up love and admiration for them(which I didn't think was possible).😍
I cannot wait for the new Live DVD coming next month, it's the first show after their long hiatus and also their first show with Fami and Fami's first show in front of an audience!! It's been too long since we had a new Live show from this awesome band!! 🤘😊
"When Destinies Align" was intended as an anthem for the group. When Miyako was writing it the working title was "Lovebites". She has said she was nervous that it wasn't good enough. It was also a challenge to themselves, something so technical that any reasonable person would say it would be unplayable live. Of course they nailed it.
Fami is the short form of Family. This is her stage name because she likes to shop in a general store called FamilyMart. The exact reason why Miho left the band is not publicly known. The fact is that she lost her father tragically and had big problems to get over it. There is even a song about it by Lovebites. She still makes music but in a small band. She got her motorcycle license, bought a motorcycle and rides it all over Japan.
I can confirm the "FamilyMart" story. But I think, that doesn't mean, that it's spoken in the English way, rather with Japanese syllables. Thus it's not spoken "fa - mi", but "far - me"...
Thanks for the reaction. All three songs from the concert which took place on March 26, 2021.This is one of the concerts of the national "Ride for Vengeance Tour 2021" LOVEBITES in the cities of Japan (March - April 2021) . At the beginning of 2021, a new wave of Covid-19 began in Japan. A very tense situation was created, many people got sick, people were dying. The Japanese government declared a state of emergency. "Ride for Vengeance Tour 2021" was rescheduled from January 2021 to March - April 2021 and took place with mandatory anti-COVID safety measures: the hall was not completely filled (the number of viewers is limited, many people who wanted to get to the concerts could not buy tickets) maintaining social distance between people, viewers must stay where they are, everyone is wearing masks, temperature control (in humans), hand disinfection, are not allowed to express their emotions loudly (shouting, sing ), only applause is allowed, etc. During "Ride for Vengeance Tour" Miyako was 4-5 months pregnant. For Miyako it is: - already the third concert of the LOVEBITES Tour, - 2 hours , 18 songs, - playing technically complex music (guitar, piano, keyboards), - performing backing vocals , - during the Covid-19 pandemic, when you can get infected and infect an unborn child. LOVEBITES risked their health during the "Ride for Vengeance Tour 2021" concerts. Unlike the spectators, they were not wearing masks. In addition, before the concert, a few more hours are spent preparing for the concert (setting up instruments and equipment on stage, rehearsing, etc.) These are also risks for Miyako and the rest of the ladies, because you have to contact with a large number of people at this time on stage.
To really see a different side of The White Wolves, I would like to see you react to 'Epilogue'' A true ballad. In all my 65 years, it is the most beautiful ballad I have ever heard. ruclips.net/video/JIAJYBuuKGM/видео.html
LOVEBITES - When Destinies Align lyrics: It is not just some coincidence It is nothing like reality It is something very precious that not everyone can get It is like a dream, a turn of fate It is what the each of us can bring It’s a chemical reaction, only possible by these pieces Why must someone get in our way？We won’t let them We can go cause we believe Why must someone put out the light deep inside our hearts Can you see？We can create a miracle Open your eyes, we’ll make a new future All of our hopes are in these hands Like a bird flying into a world we don’t know We will always be together Carry on, carry on This is us, carry on It is failure that has brought us here It is made of our blood and tears It is something very strong that keeps us moving on and on It is love, ambition, destiny It is why we’ve been through everything It is what becomes the reason, shining bright into tomorrow Why must someone get in our way？We won’t let them We can go cause we believe Why must someone put out the light deep inside our hearts Can you see？We can create a miracle Open your eyes, we’ll make a new future All of our hopes are in these hands Like a bird flying into a world we don’t know We will always be together Carry on, carry on This is us, carry on Open your eyes, we’ll make a new future All of our hopes are in these hands Like a bird flying into a world we don’t know We will always be together Open your eyes, we’ll make a new future All of our hopes are in these hands Like a bird flying into a world we don’t know We will always be together Carry on, carry on This is us, carry on ----- lyrics: asami music: miyako arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) album: Electric Pentagram 01/29/2020
I would like to suggest that you check out the M/V for (When Destinies Align). I feel that the solos are longer and more intense!!!!!! Asami studied ballet for about 16 yrs. which is very evident in (A Frozen Serenade). Thanks for the reactions!!!!!!!
This clearly demonstrates that Lovebites being just a power metal band is a myth. The ladies play a pretty diverse and innovative blend of speed-power/thrash/prog/neoclassical metal/power ballads which makes their sound unique. With their virtuoso abilities, they can compose and play almost anything they want and make it sound phenomenal.
Nice triple reaction. The 3 songs are from the Heavy Metal Never Dies concert video. Miyako was pregnant at this time and still she performed a 2 hour show. Midori and Miyako played different guitars on these 3 songs. I suggest Edge of the World, Empty Daydream and Epilogue for your next triple reaction just because they're songs with the letter E and considered by many fans including me as masterpieces. Peace and LOVEBITES! 🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺
To learn more about their personalities, watch them present the tracks from the new album from their individual home cam feeds. Loveable, goofy, nerdy brilliance!
Info tidbit "When Destinies Align" is about them. Miyako composed the music and Asami wrote the lyrics. Miyako's working for the song was "Lovebites" Thought you might find that informative.
"Asami is commanding the entire room" reminds me of what another reactor repeatedly stated in his reactions: "She is a stage general." :) Even though Miho is no longer in the band, her decision to found Lovebites was (I assume not only for me) one of the best in the history of Heavy Metal, and that is something no-one can take away from her! "Frozen Serenade" is actually not an entirely unusual song for them, because they already had a song with a somewhat simliar structure titled "Edge of the World" on their debut album "Awakening From Abyss" which IMO offers the most musical diversity together with their third album "Electric Pentagram" (which both "When Destinies Align" and "A Frozen Serenade" stem from), though their so far softest song and only pure ballad "Epilogue" is to be found on "Clockwork Immortality".
Exactly!👍 I join your words. Not everyone knows or cannot understand that if it were not for Miho, this phenomenal band would not have appeared. In which each musician is so individual as a person and so unique as a professional that it has allowed LOVEBITES to become the brightest phenomenon in the world of metal for the last 20 years! Miho was the leader of the band behind the scenes. Asami was and is the leader on the stage. Asami has a unique charisma as a lady, as a person, as a singer! One of the best frontmen (it would be more correct, frontwoman😊) who were and are in the world of rock music. Thank you!
That last one was from the concert in 2021, when Miyako was 4 or 5 months into pregnancy. Edit: All three songs are on my 2CD version of "Heavy Metal Never Dies", where the last song is from. This took place on March 26th, 2021, in Tokyo Dome City Hall. Song A02, B01, and A08. Edit 2: Серый Лис confirms it below in a comment. Usually, what he writes, is bloody correct!
Yes, Miyako was 4+ months pregnant. WOT is just a throw-down. No other band playing today could pull this off. It was originally commissioned for an anime series.
I really appreciate your support to amazing Lovebites. These women are beyond belief. Their live performances are outstanding. They’re versatile, creative and proficient musicians. “Frozen serenade” is a masterpiece.
it is so cool to see Miyako off stage without her ice queen stage persona , in interviews and her channel blogs she laughs and smiles a lot she is actually quite the nerd loves Star Wars and she has a large collection of exotic pets including a very cool owl
There are also moments in which she is smiling on stage during Lovebites' concerts, and when she and Midori played "Farming Simulator" with Dragonforce, she had an absolute blast (smiling, jumping around and clapping her hands), as well as when all of Lovebites joined Dragonforce doing a cover of "My Heart Will Go On"!
@@MissLoonasSpeech yes most of the time though she is in deep concentration that most mistake as a lack of emotion it is her classical training she pours her emotion into the instrument she is playing she does have her moments when she is playful though best example is the Keytar segment during Spellbound
@@ericdarlington2332 Agreed on all points. I'd also mention the fist-bump with Midori at the end of the harmonizing part in "We the United". Judging by the preview-clip of their upcoming live-DVD/Bluray, it seems we can expect more smiling from her on this new release.
@@MissLoonasSpeech the whole band has been reinvigorated since Fami joined i think her smiling all the time has infected the others lol Miho was fantastic but you could feel the tension on stage the last few shows they did together
@@JustDunk all my comments on this auto-deleted. Is that 'cause I won't go to discord? Interesting, your lengthy 'review' that began at 12;47 (your video), the whole time I know what transitions are to come when you resume the video. This song & performance is quite eclectic, dynamic & challenging, & the anticipation is slightly 'tempered' by your lack-of-mention of the bassist Miho, on screen throughout your 'review', without whom LOVEBITES would not exist. Thus I suggest "Trio of Miho", a later segment of this LIVE, all 3 songs words & music by originator, founder, leader, bassist, composer, lyricist, arranger, "Natural Born HeadBanger" Miho. These 3 songs performed consecutively, segued. Please watch & listen as-if you are at this show. No pausing (voice-over commentary fine) to grasp their stamina & seamless continuity. Now includes [cc] lyrics for all 3 songs, ruclips.net/video/ttBL0Q744xA/видео.html
I can assure you I don’t delete any comments, your choice to join our discord is entirely up to you. I appreciate you and taking time to watch my videos!! Even you don’t join our discord I still really appreciate you!
Re. Frozen Serenade: How many true masterpieces are there in the history of rock? A dozen? I would name “A Day in the Life” by the Beatles; “The End” by the Doors; “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen; “Kashmir” by Led Zeppelin; “Layla” by Derek and the Dominoes; “The Great Gig in the Sky” by Pink Floyd; “Starless” by King Crimson; “Ghost Love Score” by Nightwish… maybe a few more. Some of the greatest never managed it. Lovebites have given us several, and I would put this performance at the top of the list.
nothing lovebites does reminds me of dragonsforce they are much better than them in my honest opinion they were inspired by bands like Iron maiden (Way better than Dragonsforce)
@evilvolts It's the speed and guitar prowess of Miyako and Midori that remind people of DragonForce. Say what you will about the band but they have two excellent guitarists that Miyako and Midori picked up more than a few tricks from when they toured together.
ASTERISM now live in USA... fans uploaded their live in YT... You compare their MV(studios) When Destinies Align and Winds Of Transylvania with live, find is there any different...
That solo in When Destinies Align must be one of the tastiest gutar solos in metal history!!! I do like the MV of that song ' couse it is more intense! The MV for Winds of Transylvania ( Vladlove version ) is sick and fun at the same time!
Well said, mate 👍 They sure are Effin Amazing
that’s okay Bro. speechless is how people react to LOVEBITES
LOVEBITES - Winds Of Transylvania lyrics:
Sneaking to that vein, ever devotion
Taking in my hands, satisfaction
Deep into the neck, only delusion
Can't resist, insane tonight
Shining like a vine, never enough
Dripping off my hand, cause of desire
Piece of tragedy, fading in moonlight
Sink in red, I'm falling down
Painting truth and lies, over and under
Chasing round 'n' round, closer to thunder
Pushing to the edge, never surrender
Shades of cross inside of my head
Flaming memories of the past
Burn inside of the bloody red eyes
Lying Borderline of a Castle
Winds of Transylvania
Innocent lullaby, chasing everywhere,
Fleeting empty fate
Break it down, like a game and I go fallin' now
Make it all end
A silent break of dawn, now the curtain rise
Blood, Thirsty like a lost butterfly
Reaching in now to get you, but then let you go again
Veil searching us under the moonlight
Let me in to a place by immortal fascination
Now, show me the way of the parade tonight
SOLO: miyako / midori / both
Sneaking to that vein, ever devotion
Taking in my hands, satisfaction
Deep into the neck, only delusion
Can't resist, insane tonight
Flaming memories of the past
Burn inside of the bloody red eyes
Lying Borderline of a Castle
Winds of Transylvania
Innocent lullaby, chasing everywhere,
Fleeting empty fate
Break it down, like a game and I go fallin' now
Make it all end
A silent break of dawn, now the curtain rise
Blood, Thirsty like a lost butterfly
Reaching in now to get you, but then let you go again
Veil searching us under the moonlight
Let me in to a place by immortal fascination
Now, show me the way of the parade tonight
I wait and see
Take me away to paradise
LOVEBITES !

Lovebites are the best that could have happened to metal music. The elegance and incredible ease with which they cover the full spectrum of the genre and then further develop it is unprecedented in my opinion. Other bands can give me good times, but Lovebites go beyond that - they make me happy.
🤘🏼👑 THE MAIDENS QUEENS OF HEAVY METAL LOVEBITES! 🐺🤘🏼
NO MORE WORDS TO SAY ABOUT THAT LADIES...
QUEENS... GODDESSES....
Certainly one of the best bands that has ever existed.
I would dispute that!!
Yes Asami started ballet at a young age then studied dance Hip Hop and other dance styles in New York for several for several years. 🙂🤘🐺
Great analysis bro, please keep on reacting to Lovebites. These ladies are world class talents and they deserve worldwide recognition.
I am with you, I love these Ladies, they are friggin AWESOME, great music, great lyrics, there are no bad songs, and of course their performances are awesome, new CD is awesome too, thx for doing multiples, just can't get enough of these Ladies
They're amazing. Thunder Vengeance has the best curtain drop, but you've done that one. I suggest Awakening - Hammer of Wrath ruclips.net/video/otJZPUCwyOM/видео.html Break the Wall ruclips.net/video/5Pc0XK0lNmU/видео.html and then maybe Stand and Deliver from the new album ruclips.net/video/4ImGA7cPyrs/видео.html That would be a great triple-header!
miss the outtro on the main video they leave it out on the live version but Miyako also has a piano outtro on official video to this
Given that you like to do 3 together I'd like to suggest you do the entire encore from their 2020 Five of a Kind show at Zepp DiverCity. It starts with the enthusiastic crowd and The Awakening which is an instrumental intro followed by Hammer of Wrath, Edge of the World and We the United and then a well deserved bow. Brilliant!!!!!!
It's fun to watch someone react and actually understand the level of musicianship that Lovebites has. They are an amazing band. My favorite!❤

LOVEBITES - A Frozen Serenade lyrics:
Crystal tears Falling from the skies
Veiling fears The emptiness inside
Time is just passing by
Killing me under the soft twilight
A frozen melody
Of doves and ravens dancing in melancholy
A distant memory
If only this snow could erase the pain
I'd wake up in a serenade
One life ends
And one life begins
Evanesce
To our origins
When I'm lost on my way
Lead my heart and guide me with your grace
A frozen melody
Of doves and ravens dancing in melancholy
A distant memory
If only this snow could erase the pain
I'd wake up in a serenade
Just like a dream, just like a bird
I'll keep on singing out
Even if my voice cannot reach you
Seasons may pass, but its beauty will never fade away
All living things are precious and irreplaceable
Just like a dream, just like a bird
I'll keep on singing out
Even if my voice cannot reach you
White butterflies are fluttering under the silver sky
If only I could wish to see you once more

Thunder Vengeance was the 2nd song I ever saw by them, and it sealed the deal for me. When I first saw Frozen Serenade....wow. Even further up love and admiration for them(which I didn't think was possible).😍
They are spectacular
I cannot wait for the new Live DVD coming next month, it's the first show after their long hiatus and also their first show with Fami and Fami's first show in front of an audience!!
It's been too long since we had a new Live show from this awesome band!! 🤘😊
"When Destinies Align" was intended as an anthem for the group. When Miyako was writing it the working title was "Lovebites". She has said she was nervous that it wasn't good enough. It was also a challenge to themselves, something so technical that any reasonable person would say it would be unplayable live. Of course they nailed it.
Great Reaction👍
Lovebites is my all-time favorite band, and Miyako is my all-time favorite musician.
A Frozen Serenade is a true masterpiece!
Cool, you did three songs peeps usually dont react to.
Fami is the short form of Family. This is her stage name because she likes to shop in a general store called FamilyMart.
The exact reason why Miho left the band is not publicly known. The fact is that she lost her father tragically and had big problems to get over it. There is even a song about it by Lovebites.
She still makes music but in a small band. She got her motorcycle license, bought a motorcycle and rides it all over Japan.
I can confirm the "FamilyMart" story. But I think, that doesn't mean, that it's spoken in the English way, rather with Japanese syllables. Thus it's not spoken "fa - mi", but "far - me"...
Thanks for the reaction. All three songs from the concert which took place on March 26, 2021.This is one of the concerts of the national "Ride for Vengeance Tour 2021" LOVEBITES in the cities of Japan (March - April 2021) . At the beginning of 2021, a new wave of Covid-19 began in Japan. A very tense situation was created, many people got sick, people were dying. The Japanese government declared a state of emergency.

During "Ride for Vengeance Tour" Miyako was 4-5 months pregnant. For Miyako it is:
- already the third concert of the LOVEBITES Tour,
- 2 hours , 18 songs,
- playing technically complex music (guitar, piano, keyboards),
- performing backing vocals ,
- during the Covid-19 pandemic, when you can get infected and infect an unborn child.
LOVEBITES risked their health during the "Ride for Vengeance Tour 2021" concerts. Unlike the spectators, they were not wearing masks. In addition, before the concert, a few more hours are spent preparing for the concert (setting up instruments and equipment on stage, rehearsing, etc.) These are also risks for Miyako and the rest of the ladies, because you have to contact with a large number of people at this time on stage.
The word "Masterpiece" gets thrown around a lot, but I think A Frozen Serenade qualifies.
Thanx for the great reaction and support to our favorite bands!!! Lovin' all your respect to all the bands. Thank you again from Tokyo.🙏🏽
Thank you too!
To really see a different side of The White Wolves, I would like to see you react to 'Epilogue'' A true ballad. In all my 65 years, it is the most beautiful ballad I have ever heard.

LOVEBITES - When Destinies Align lyrics:
It is not just some coincidence
It is nothing like reality
It is something very precious that not everyone can get
It is like a dream, a turn of fate
It is what the each of us can bring
It’s a chemical reaction, only possible by these pieces
Why must someone get in our way？We won’t let them
We can go cause we believe
Why must someone put out the light deep inside our hearts
Can you see？We can create a miracle
Open your eyes, we’ll make a new future
All of our hopes are in these hands
Like a bird flying into a world we don’t know
We will always be together
Carry on, carry on
This is us, carry on
It is failure that has brought us here
It is made of our blood and tears
It is something very strong that keeps us moving on and on
It is love, ambition, destiny
It is why we’ve been through everything
It is what becomes the reason, shining bright into tomorrow
Why must someone get in our way？We won’t let them
We can go cause we believe
Why must someone put out the light deep inside our hearts
Can you see？We can create a miracle
Open your eyes, we’ll make a new future
All of our hopes are in these hands
Like a bird flying into a world we don’t know
We will always be together
Carry on, carry on
This is us, carry on
Open your eyes, we’ll make a new future
All of our hopes are in these hands
Like a bird flying into a world we don’t know
We will always be together
Open your eyes, we’ll make a new future
All of our hopes are in these hands
Like a bird flying into a world we don’t know
We will always be together
Carry on, carry on
This is us, carry on

lyrics: asami
music: miyako
arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami)
album: Electric Pentagram 01/29/2020
I would like to suggest that you check out the M/V for (When Destinies Align). I feel that the solos are longer and more intense!!!!!! Asami studied ballet for about 16 yrs. which is very evident in (A Frozen Serenade). Thanks for the reactions!!!!!!!
This clearly demonstrates that Lovebites being just a power metal band is a myth. The ladies play a pretty diverse and innovative blend of speed-power/thrash/prog/neoclassical metal/power ballads which makes their sound unique. With their virtuoso abilities, they can compose and play almost anything they want and make it sound phenomenal.
100%. Moreover, approximately 15-18% of LOVE BITES songs can be attributed to thrash metal
Once you ve been Love Bitten there is no turning back. This band is everything i love about metal-and more. They are just above all others-its a fact
Nice triple reaction. The 3 songs are from the Heavy Metal Never Dies concert video. Miyako was pregnant at this time and still she performed a 2 hour show. Midori and Miyako played different guitars on these 3 songs. I suggest Edge of the World, Empty Daydream and Epilogue for your next triple reaction just because they're songs with the letter E and considered by many fans including me as masterpieces. Peace and LOVEBITES! 🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺
Midori is a natural-born rock star.
She is also big-build rock star.
great reaction .
Thank you 😁
To learn more about their personalities, watch them present the tracks from the new album from their individual home cam feeds. Loveable, goofy, nerdy brilliance!
By the way, in this concert, Miyako hardly move around on stage because she was about 4 months pregnant.
Info tidbit "When Destinies Align" is about them. Miyako composed the music and Asami wrote the lyrics. Miyako's working for the song was "Lovebites" Thought you might find that informative.
"Asami is commanding the entire room" reminds me of what another reactor repeatedly stated in his reactions: "She is a stage general." :) Even though Miho is no longer in the band, her decision to found Lovebites was (I assume not only for me) one of the best in the history of Heavy Metal, and that is something no-one can take away from her! "Frozen Serenade" is actually not an entirely unusual song for them, because they already had a song with a somewhat simliar structure titled "Edge of the World" on their debut album "Awakening From Abyss" which IMO offers the most musical diversity together with their third album "Electric Pentagram" (which both "When Destinies Align" and "A Frozen Serenade" stem from), though their so far softest song and only pure ballad "Epilogue" is to be found on "Clockwork Immortality".
Exactly!👍 I join your words. Not everyone knows or cannot understand that if it were not for Miho, this phenomenal band would not have appeared. In which each musician is so individual as a person and so unique as a professional that it has allowed LOVEBITES to become the brightest phenomenon in the world of metal for the last 20 years!
Miho was the leader of the band behind the scenes. Asami was and is the leader on the stage. Asami has a unique charisma as a lady, as a person, as a singer! One of the best frontmen (it would be more correct, frontwoman😊) who were and are in the world of rock music. Thank you!
Epilogue is the one song that makes me tear up every time. Journey to the Otherside is hard to hold it together when Miho gets upset
They are sick
Great to see both M&M playing Vs. M
That last one was from the concert in 2021, when Miyako was 4 or 5 months into pregnancy.
Edit: All three songs are on my 2CD version of "Heavy Metal Never Dies", where the last song is from.
This took place on March 26th, 2021, in Tokyo Dome City Hall. Song A02, B01, and A08.
Edit 2: Серый Лис confirms it below in a comment. Usually, what he writes, is bloody correct!
🤘🏽LOVEBITES RULES🤘🏽
🔥LOVEBITES🐺PERFECTION🤘🏻FOREVER‼️
next shadow maker mv
fromjapan✋
Miho Miho Miho! Miho Miho Miho! Miho Miho Miho!
Yes, Miyako was 4+ months pregnant. WOT is just a throw-down. No other band playing today could pull this off. It was originally commissioned for an anime series.
I love them very. Be happy to hold their new Live DVD in my hands at my birthday in september
I really appreciate your support to amazing Lovebites. These women are beyond belief. Their live performances are outstanding. They’re versatile, creative and proficient musicians. “Frozen serenade” is a masterpiece.
Nice triple reaction!!!
it is so cool to see Miyako off stage without her ice queen stage persona , in interviews and her channel blogs she laughs and smiles a lot she is actually quite the nerd loves Star Wars and she has a large collection of exotic pets including a very cool owl
There are also moments in which she is smiling on stage during Lovebites' concerts, and when she and Midori played "Farming Simulator" with Dragonforce, she had an absolute blast (smiling, jumping around and clapping her hands), as well as when all of Lovebites joined Dragonforce doing a cover of "My Heart Will Go On"!
@@MissLoonasSpeech yes most of the time though she is in deep concentration that most mistake as a lack of emotion it is her classical training she pours her emotion into the instrument she is playing she does have her moments when she is playful though best example is the Keytar segment during Spellbound
@@ericdarlington2332 Agreed on all points. I'd also mention the fist-bump with Midori at the end of the harmonizing part in "We the United". Judging by the preview-clip of their upcoming live-DVD/Bluray, it seems we can expect more smiling from her on this new release.
@@MissLoonasSpeech the whole band has been reinvigorated since Fami joined i think her smiling all the time has infected the others lol Miho was fantastic but you could feel the tension on stage the last few shows they did together
I wonder how the owl and the python get along...
Great reaction as always.
You're the best!
@@JustDunk all my comments on this auto-deleted. Is that 'cause I won't go to discord?
Interesting, your lengthy 'review' that began at 12;47 (your video), the whole time I know what transitions are to come when you resume the video. This song & performance is quite eclectic, dynamic & challenging, & the anticipation is slightly 'tempered' by your lack-of-mention of the bassist Miho, on screen throughout your 'review', without whom LOVEBITES would not exist. Thus I suggest "Trio of Miho", a later segment of this LIVE, all 3 songs words & music by originator, founder, leader, bassist, composer, lyricist, arranger, "Natural Born HeadBanger" Miho. These 3 songs performed consecutively, segued. Please watch & listen as-if you are at this show. No pausing (voice-over commentary fine) to grasp their stamina & seamless continuity.
Now includes [cc] lyrics for all 3 songs, ruclips.net/video/ttBL0Q744xA/видео.html
I can assure you I don’t delete any comments, your choice to join our discord is entirely up to you. I appreciate you and taking time to watch my videos!! Even you don’t join our discord I still really appreciate you!
@@JustDunk Thanks
Next The crussade 🤘🐺
How can one not love Lovebites.
Interestingly, they have not tour US yet.... only Europe and Singapore.
Midori said in a recent interview that overseas touring will happen in 2024.
LOVEBITES also performed in China in March 2019. Opening for ARCH ENEMY, in Beijing and Shanghai.
the best
🐺🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Re. Frozen Serenade: How many true masterpieces are there in the history of rock? A dozen? I would name “A Day in the Life” by the Beatles; “The End” by the Doors; “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen; “Kashmir” by Led Zeppelin; “Layla” by Derek and the Dominoes; “The Great Gig in the Sky” by Pink Floyd; “Starless” by King Crimson; “Ghost Love Score” by Nightwish… maybe a few more. Some of the greatest never managed it. Lovebites have given us several, and I would put this performance at the top of the list.
🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺💪🤘🤘🤘🤘
🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🔥
miyako hyper focus type
Hard to go on tour overseas when you got young kids at home..........
Reminds me of through the fire and flames
nothing lovebites does reminds me of dragonsforce they are much better than them in my honest opinion they were inspired by bands like Iron maiden (Way better than Dragonsforce)
@evilvolts It's the speed and guitar prowess of Miyako and Midori that remind people of DragonForce. Say what you will about the band but they have two excellent guitarists that Miyako and Midori picked up more than a few tricks from when they toured together.
Dope
🤘
More!
Something i like to Lovebites.........you listened to 3 random songs........did they sound like each other?Τhey are all different........
Midori's Guitar is an ESP not a Jackson
ASTERISM now live in USA... fans uploaded their live in YT...
You compare their MV(studios) When Destinies Align and Winds Of Transylvania with live, find is there any different...
Wow
😁
Damn!
I tearfully appreciate Miho's professionalism.

OMG I want to see them live soooooooooooo badly.
If you look closely, I believe this was shot while Miyako was a few months pregnant.
I have left a message (again) on Facebook for you.
