On 1st July this year I was at a gig where I heard Lovbites play this song at a small venue (capacity 600) in London. However many times you have seen them on RUclips or listened to their CDs, it does not prepare you for the reality of a live Lovebites concert. I have been going to see live music for nearly 60 years, including bands such as Rush and singers such as Ronnie James Dio, and I honestly believe these ladies are up there with the best. Stand out from the concert for me ? Haruna on the drums. Such a tiny petite lady, but the speed and power of her playing filled me with awe. I don't think the full force of it is carried over on recordings. She really does 'Bring The Thunder'. 🐺
Agreed, I saw them in San Francisco. Most of my attention was on Haruna. That double bass was thundering, especially on the last song of the evening "Holy War".
I was there also at the Garage on the 1st July, and I concur, Haruna is unstoppable and as far as I'm concerned, she is the best drummer out there. So fast, and the technical accuracy is inconceivable, and always has a smile when playing, ❤her to bits. Hope to see them again one day. 🤘🎤🎹🥁🎸🐺🇬🇧
I'll second this! I saw them at a venue of about the same size in the US. I was front row (well, second row, right behind someone not too tall, and I could literally touch the stage). Haruna's drum kit was maybe 10 feet away? They came out with The Awakening, and Haruna is sitting right there. There's then that moment she comes in slightly, and it was amazing - but then she comes in full force. Nothing could have prepared me for the wall of sound that came out of that kit and hit me full on. The percussion wave flapped my shirt and pants the entire concert. Watching her was indeed awe inspiring.
Thanks ERIC! It has to be so difficult to be the vocalist for a band like this. Keeping up with the speed, the intensity, finding a way to be heard over the level of noise that they put out, yet Asami does it perfectly! When people say, "This makes me want to practice my guitar." I almost want to say, "Dude, you can practice the rest of your life and you will never be this good." Not to put them down, it's just that these girls are really at a level that is simply unattainable for 99.5% of all guitarists. Same goes for all the other band members. Googled BPM = 195. Like I probably said before here, Haruna's feet are like the pistons in a Formula 1 engine.
@@DrumAttic 😀 Funny comment YOYOKA made on the ELLEN show when Ellen said "You must have practiced a lot to get this good." YOYOKA comes back with "Not really, I'm lazy." ....lol My response to YOYOKA woould be "You think you're lazy, you should see me!." Obviously she practices but not as much as people think. It just comes so natural for her. For her, she just wants to play, and that she does a lot, with LOTS of different musicians.
🤘People who listen to her will think that even this one song is amazing.😵 What's amazing about❤Haruna❤ is that this was the 17th song of the live, and she performed three encore songs after this. 😮She didn't make a single mistake the whole time🥁. She's a 💪monster 💪in a good way.😱

I think it's important, especially as a drummer yourself, to backup & play from just before 4;20 in the original video. You had just started to 'time' the tempo when Haruna has a short solo 'feature'! At the premier stream they had chalk boards to comment as we all listened together, them each at home & in different screens. Haruna made it a point to alert us to "Focus On Drums !!" Earlier in the song Miyako, who wrote the song, says "Asami & Haruna, Sorry" as Haruna had been holding up her board saying "FAST" repeatedly and Asami commenting on how HIGH the vocal part is.

@@DrumAttic Yes, it seem we all want MORE HARUNA CAM!

Very 'busy' but never a distraction, always an enhancement. 🐺 dreg👁
A classic already - created for eternity. And oh my God .... Haruna! What an BRILLIANT drummer she is. But that's not all. She is such an inspirational human being - watch her smiling and singing along with the tune. To all those who are in need of some positive energy - just ask Haruna.
I've noticed that on the slower tempo songs she starts twirling her sticks and doing tricks with them. She must start getting bored if the rpm drops below about 170!
I saw this one performed at their first ever US concert in Atlanta a few weeks ago and they brought the heat just as they do here in this video. Haruna and Asami blew me away with their efforts on this song when I heard it live!

LOVEBITES - Soldier Stands Solitarily lyrics & credits:
If tomorrow never comes
Was it ever even here? Nobody knows
Trying to find key to the door
It's me and no one else
All in my hand
Things aren't as easy as "right" and "wrong'
You only need one thing to be proud of
Solitary soldier
Fighting till the end
I'm not satisfied
Solitary fire
Even with the scars
I'm not satisfied
If I can take it all back
Daydreaming won't change a thing, so worthless
Life is always back and forth of hurting and getting hurt
Can't change this
I have been searching for something long
Not enough time to care what others think
Solitary soldier
Fighting till the end
I'm not satisfied
Solitary fire
Even with the scars
I'm not satisfied
SOLOS: miyako / midori / both
Things aren't as easy as "right" and "wrong'
You only need one thing to be proud of
Solitary soldier
Fighting till the end
I'm not satisfied
Solitary fire
Even with the scars
I'm not satisfied
Solitary soldier
Fighting till the end
I'm not satisfied
Solitary fire
Even with the scars
I'm not satisfied

Power, intensity, class, grace and superlative talent equals Lovebites. So good that I saw them play live twice in London this year.
That's so cool that you've had the chance to see the live twice! Awesome!

She is a delight to watch as she plays!
HARUNA is monster drummer
Yes!!!
Good sharing video🙏👌
Thanks!
Yes, outstanding. Lovebites rules 🤘👍🔥
They do! Thanks for watching!
monster druming with beautiful smile!
Yes!
195 bpm according to SongBPM and Tunebat.
Awesome!
Midori💚💚💚💚💚
Yes!
thank you for your great reaction and appreciation of these phenomenal young ladies.
My pleasure! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
195 bpm of pure awesomeness !
No doubt!
195 bpm of metal goodness.
For sure!
They are five GENIUS: ASAMI, MIYAKO, HARUNA, MIDORI and YOUNG BEAUTIFUL BASSIST FAMI as a new member🥰😍😘
Geniuses indeed!
I swear the faster Haruna plays, the happier she gets.
I think you're right, man!
I've noticed that on the slower tempo songs she starts twirling her sticks and doing tricks with them. She must start getting bored if the rpm drops below about 170!
It's been a while, I'm glad you are back dude.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate that!
Harupi seems to enjoy taking it out on the drums whilst tickling the cymbals. 😊
LOL for sure!
195 bpm! 🤘
BOOM! She's amazing! Well, they're all amazing!
@ All virtuoso level players! 🤘
Ah, sweet mayhem! Controlled mayhem at that! With this song, LOVEBITES outdid even themselves. \m/
Great description!
Blistering song, Love it, Haruna going hard!! 🤘🔥
She's amazing!

ハルナのドラムソロ見逃しました？
見逃しませんでした。でも、メトロノームに気を取られて、それについてはコメントしませんでした。ごめん。ご覧いただきありがとうございます!
Song is great example of BAROQUE (1600-1750) music sound (composition) in Modern Times with modern instruments. Good doggy!
Excellent!
🐺🐺🐺🤘🤘🤘
wolfpack! Yes!
Dude, you missed the drum solo because you were looking down at your metronome.
That sounds about right LOL

Thanks for watching!

If you focus on drumming, this is a great song. Yes, Haruna is the "little big engine". And on top, she's even able to smile.
She's amazing!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for watching!
The onneeee time I thought he would pause and comment for sure ...he didn't 😂😂🤷♂️🤦♂️
LOL Which moment did you think I would have paused?
@@DrumAttic8:27 being a drummer. But during that fantastic moment, all you cared about was the "tempo". Anyway 😂 all good 🤘
🤘🏽MIYAKORULES🤘🏽
No arguments here :)
Co co cool
Thanks for watching!
Your viewers seems to not like LOVEBITES as you does.
I'm sure the viewers love them more because they've loved them longer :) Still a relatively new band to me, but I'm loving them.
