Lovebites + talent + creative + masterpiece + enjoyment 🤘👍😍
For me the contrast in styles between M&M is a big part of their magic. The fact that they can collaborate this way and play off each other just puts them on another level.
These women are both amazing guitarist and when you put them together it's magic. Don't pit them against each other just enjoy the music they give us.
Great reaction ! Both Midori and Miyako have different styles and they complement each other perfectly to become one of the best guitar duos ever. Not too sure if there's really a "war" among the fanbase as to who is the best...
🐺🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Love Lovebites
Another great reaction... Two down So many more to go.. Enjoy the ride.. Best wishes from France..
The M&M show (Midori & Miyako) is the very definition of a Vulcan mind meld when they harmonize. Midori dropped out of dental college at 20 to enter a prestigious music school to learn guitar. Miyako is a classical trained pianist (check out Swan Song with the Chopin piano intro to see how great) who self-taught at 18. They are polar opposites who blend together perfectly. They practice away from the band so that they are perfect Live, yet maintained their personalities. Fami is only 20, yet a real master ( Miho the founder and former bassist) was a hugh Steve Harris fan and never used a pic. ASAMI on vocals is an ex ballerina who sang backup R&B, Soul, and Jazz before joining LB. Haruka on drums at 4' 9" is a demon who never seems to sweat no matter how much she drives the pace for this band. They have many influences, but what makes them unique is how they blend them, often in the same song effortlessly. Welcome to the Wolfpack. BTW, many of the Japanese bassist don't use a Pic and sound really awesome because of it.
not like the others...these ladies are BLAST 🔥
HAIL LOVEBITES 🤘
we love both M+M equally. they need each other almost as much as we need them ! can't even imagine the band with only one of them. the metal gods are smiling
M & M have different playing styles, and we all may have our personal favorites. But as I understand it, there's no "internal war" or even battle between wolves. What you quickly understand, is, that M & M support each other and make them better than the sum of their single talent. Same for the rest of the group, no-one is dispensable. They for a perfect pentagram, if you will. They complement each other. That's why it was so difficult to find a successor for bassist Miho, but luckily, prodigy bassist Fami fits in so perfectly!
I am starting to understand that already 😊 They all work together incredibly well as one unit, like any good band should! I am really enjoying their stuff so far! Thank you for watching! 🤘
This video was from Fami‘s very first concert with LOVEBITES. And it was als her very first concert in front of a big crowd ever …
I bet it felt great for her! Nerve racking but great
@@BraindeadBreakdown She smiled almost the complete show. I‘ve the Blu-ray of this concert. But I’m curious about her thoughts when they told her that they will make a live album from this her fist appearance with the band 😳
“Break The Wall” shows the ultimate contrast between the two guitar players styles, and is an awesome song!🤘
Miyako and Midori are like Yin and Yang. So simple is that.
Wow, great reaction, nice to hear someone who seems to know his stuff. Can,t wait to u reaction to "Hammer Of Wrath" from the same show. Its the opening off the show and Haruna (drums) have full charged batteri..she,s simple amazing in that one.
Miyako will always be my fav. They call her "The golden touch" for me she,s always will be "The genius goddess "
Me, Myself, and I got together and had a discussion on Lovebites. The three of us have decided to refer to Lovebites as the 8th Wonder of the World!!!!
While on tour, Midori and Miyako hang out and work on their harmonizing and future solos for new songs. While on hiatus, Miyako went to Midori to learn how to play faster and I think it shows in the new Album. During that time, it was said that Asami worked on her English. If so, you can tell her English is also better in the new album.
It is fun learning new things about these ladies and the journey never disappoints.
Thank you for continuing your honest and high quality reactions! 👍
Miyako recently bought a Korina V. A '58 remake by the Gibson custom shop (super expensive $10k). She posted a video of her purchase. I can't wait to hear it live in a concert. While the band is taking a break, she has scheduled a piano recital on November 19th in Tokyo.
I saw the video of this purchase. What struck me was that she, a talented and recognized guitarist, had to pass a credit check to purchase this guitar and return the next day to take possession of it. 😳
I had the same reaction. You would think Gibson would give her a guitar.
@@tubeit2908 Being a musician is hard living, only a few bands get rich doing it. 10k is a lot, so she had to get a loan to buy it. I think that is the reason why you see artists in Japan are doing several project at the same time, or doing live shows with other, just to earn enough to make a living. Japanese bands are lucky in the sense that physical media is not dead, as they still sell CDs and DVD/Blu-rays. So even with a low Spotify number they still make ok money.
You should know that Miyako plays keyboards, piano, bass, she does quite well on drums and of course she composes songs! I can't advise you enough to react to her cover of "Eagle fly free" from Helloween alone on the piano. You will not be disappointed !
The best way to describe Midori & Myako is " FIRE & ICE " - both brilliant but both VERY different !
Agreed! That is what you want! You don't want guitarists to trade solos and sound exactly the same, what would be the point of 2 guitars at that point? 😂
Miyako has Gary Moore covers on her channel. She did a piano cover of „The Loner“ on her solo EP. And she also plays some solos inspired by his playing in LOVEBITES songs.
I can hear the Gary in her playing, it will probably make me like her more as I listen to more music.
Simply put my Metal Queens. For me M&M are the best harmonizing guitar duo out there right now. Each have their own style, but both are phenomenal guitarists.
Plenty more Lovebites to discover. Just use the recommendations people left in last comments.
I copied and pasted it into my list 😂 I will definitely be going back down this rabbit hole!
Troll alert everyone. For those who don't know, this guy ingopek or whatever has been going around several Lovebites reactions to spew his nonsense and hate. In fact, he has just been banned from another reaction channel for being a troll. I recommend 2 approaches - (1) just ignore, since sad common trolls like this one deserves zero attention, which is the best approach. (2) continue to engage if you have the time because lengthy comments and replies will help the reactor with the YT algorithms which in turn will also help people find Lovebites reactions like this one. This troll is intentionally trying to undermine Lovebites, so let's use post (if the OP doesn't mind) to promote Lovebites instead
Miyako has Gary Moore and Ritchie Blackmore influences whereas Midori has influences of Yngwie Malmsteen and Nuno Bettencourt
As far as I'm concerned, Those Goddesses are equal. As you said, they are the best of friends, and help each other shine. Same language. Different accents. In some songs/performances, I prefer what Miyako lays down. In others it is Midori. There's no competition between them. And Metal is the only beneficiary, no matter what people think.
If you really want to see them in "Conversation Mode", please react to 'Scream For Me' (live). Fourteen solo's in one song. Two each during the main part of the song. And ten of them in handoff mode at the end. As a guitarist, you will really appreciate it. But pay attention to the rolling bass & drum lines underneath all those solo's. Absolutely sublime.
They play difficult songs、look easy．Asami is little lady．
But、her majestic appearance is like Ronnie James Dio．
She is a little giant．
Already、they have wonderful fan base．
But a lot of world metalheads shoud check this beautiful band、much much more、in my opinion‼️．
You're right about the M&M dichotomy. They're both amazing but they're styles are different. I love em both!
I agree with you completely!
I think that nobody in the WolfPack fight because of Love to Midori or Miyako. We love both of them and don't like it when anyone compares them. :)
Thank you for your reaction. More Lovebites on the channel!
There will be more Lovebites soon!
I am over 50.And I have been listening to metal since I was 7 years old. Lovebites have been among my 10 favorite metal bands since I saw them live at Wacken in 2018.
Thanks for reacting to amazing Lovebites and spreading the word because they deserve more recognition. These women are extremely talented, skillful and exceptional versatile musicians. Their live performances are just outstanding. Those twin lead guitar solos by Midori and Miyako are already legendary, in just six years. To me, it’s nonsense trying to compare Midori vs Miyako; they complement each other. Miyako is also a concert level classical pianist. Some people say that they’re breaking the stereotypes in the metal scene. They have influences from Metallica, Judas Priest, Slayer, Megadeth, Dragonforce, Deep Purple, Helloween, Angra, and even Gary Moore, but they have been developing their unique style. They toured Europe and Asia in 2018 and 2019. They toured the UK in 2019 opening for Dragonforce (they’re good friends, by the way). My next recommendation is “Hammer of wrath” (live, 2023 version, same concert).
Matt from Trivium has two acoustic covers of LOVEBITES songs on his channel. He actually seems to like them …
I will have to check them out, I love Matt! I may have even heard them before 😊
Wolfpack here.
Great reaction. They both are incredible. You described Midori & Miyako perfectly. I love them both, but prefer Miyako's style just a bit more. Her stoic demeanor just adds to her my enjoyment of watching her.. I doubt I'm that stoic when making coffee. IMO the best duo today, they play off each other seamlessly.
Thank you for watching, I am glad you enjoyed the video!
Midori＋Miyako−ego=great harmony and unison

LOVEBITES - Judgement Day lyrics:
Never lived Never died Never end No way to go
Every night Everywhere Everything Arriving of darkness
What is “right” What is “wrong” What is “sin” Who’s to decide?
Hide and seek Truth or dare Playing tag Chased by the evil
Another back and forth of gaining and losing
Running out of my time
Each tick of the clock’s taking down piece of my life again
Who’s ally Who’s against Who’s to pick All in your hand
Up and down, in and out, left or right, answers turn around
What do you see in this world full of insanity?
When the rain come to end, what’s waiting us Don’t look away
This is the truth
RISE! THIS IS JUDGEMENT DAY!
Life - Given the “foreverness”
RISE! THIS IS JUDGEMENT DAY!
Life - Leaving name in history
Tragedy in the past find salvation
Now with the great will, the path lay in front of me
Starting here, this is the day!
SOLO: midori / miyako /midori /miyako / both
Never lived Never died Never end No way to go
Every night Everywhere Everything Arriving of darkness
What do you see in this world full of insanity?
When do we come to ask what's awaiting us, don't look away!
This is the truth!
RISE! THIS IS JUDGEMENT DAY!
Life - Given the “foreverness”
RISE! THIS IS JUDGEMENT DAY!
Life - Leaving name in history
Tragedy in the past, find salvation
Now with the great will, the path lay in front of me
Starting here, this is the day!
Judgement day!
Judgement day!
Judgement day!
JUDGEMENT DAY!

🤘🏽LOVEBITES RULES🤘🏽
I'm sure avid fans of LOVEBITES enjoy debating "Which one do you like better, Midori or Miyako?" However, I don't think they will debate "Which skill is better, Midori or Miyako?" Also, I don't think Midori and Miyako themselves have a sense of which one of them is better. The person they are fighting against is probably the song itself. They seem to be focused on one thing: ``How can I play the perfect melody?''
I also feel that one of the great virtues that Japanese female bands have in common is that they recognize and fully respect each other's talents that are superior to their own.

*This is a text using Google Translate. I hope I conveyed my intentions correctly.
You and Miyako would get along like a house on fire because she's a complete guitar nerd too! She will typically get through about five different guitars in the space of one concert. There is her Dean Icon, her Dean Custom run ML Switchblade and, yes, her Dean Signature Model V that she is using in this video. Miyako is the only female signature artist on the Dean books. She also sometimes cracks out a homemade strat and her Gibson Les Paul for her more bluesy moments. In addition to this she'll also play an acoustic guitar, keyboards, grand piano and, on one memorable occasion, even a keytar! Probably her most unusual (and most expensive) guitar however is her recently acquired Gibson Korina Flying V. There's a lovely video of her buying this addition to her armory and I'll put the link to it here for your entertainment;
ruclips.net/video/WUhnRPgFgtU/видео.html
To really see the depth of this extraordinary lady's musical genius you have to see her on the piano. She was a concert standard pianist long before she ever picked up a guitar. I'm sure other people have recommended this song but I'll add my endorsement to it. It's called "Swan Song" but Miyako bookends the song with two classical pieces on the piano. It's one of Lovebites' masterpieces and I'll include the link here.
ruclips.net/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/видео.html
I am sure we would, I usually get along very well with most guitarists! We usually have a lot to talk about 😂 will check that stuff out thank you!
Arguing about “better” sounds more like something non-musicians and dumbass fanboys would debate. I appreciate Midori and Miyako for their own considerable talents, and I don’t compare them to each other or any other guitarist(s).
BEST BEST BEST🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
LOVEBITES THE BEST
THANKS🤘🏻🐺
My all-time favorite song by my all-time favorite band, with 50+ years of being a metalhead behind me (I'm 63). For me personally, I think the studio version is a tad better just because the production really makes this song more epic. The fact they can pull this song off live is amazing. Another reactor brought up Trivium with this song too - they said if they threw Trivium, Iron Maiden, Lady Gaga, and Dream Theater in a blender, you get this song/Lovebites. Obviously Lady Gaga is a reference to Asami's voice. Miyako is an amazing musician (my favorite) who plays two instruments at elite level, and is an amazing composer. Midori is such a shredder. Fami is a dream on bass, and although Miho was great in the band, I feel Fami's style fits better with M&M. And Haruna is a beast on her kit. Enjoy this reaction.
I can see why you feel that way, it is a great song! They all take their individual parts and knock them out of the park. I will have to check out the album version to see what you mean with that though. Thanks for watching 😊
@@BraindeadBreakdown Watch the music video, it's excellent.

Even though Miyako and Midori have different styles, they are both So Highly Masterful in their playing and in the way they express their emotions thru the way that they play. I feel that they Compliment One Another Beautifully, just like All Five of them do ...

Nice review !
The Flying V here is Miyako's Signature Dean V.. Miyako also has a New Gibson Korina Flying V, that she purchased a few months back (it's a beautiful guitar that Miyako played during the Encore of the Tokyo concert stream last month!) She has several beautiful guitars, that she plays beautifully !!
I agree, they are both absolutely amazing in their own way! Thank you very much for watching 🙂
I think Midori can also play sensually. Watch the Epilogue c Daughters of Dawn 2019. She just prefers a different style. I really like her chaotic and dissonant solo parts. The highest class of composing skills.
You're right. + Midori's acoustic guitar in 'A Frozen Serenade'
excellent reaction , thank you
but there is no war among fans for who prefers Midori or Miyako ,they are different and everyone loves them equally 🙂 , I recommend break the wall , where they do 2 very different solos
Some Lovebites fans and some Band-Maid fans are a little too into them so take criticism way too seriously, but for the most part it's a great community. This band is insanely talented.
Lovebites Fami base player before Lovebites [alien alien Bass cover]
Thanks for more LOVEBITES, and your sensitivity to the fan's enthusiasm!
We each have our views & preferences, Midori and/or Miyako.
I am continually impressed by both, their solo-compositions (each writes their own), their collaboration on "twin-solos" (as Miyako calls their duets) and their technical abilities and HOW they use them, moving through various techniques while retaining a melodic flow.
I find Miyako's solos to be more 'traditional' sounding, familiar yet original. Always excellent.
Miyako is 'self-taught' from age 18, learning others' Metal songs/riffs and using an instruction book called "Mechanical Training Phrases From Hell".
Midori decided at age 20 to switch her 'schooling' from Pharmacist to Metal Guitarist.
She excelled at Musicians Institute in techniques & speed and now composes & performs solos from her own unique melodic-sense, transcending the 'familiar' and venturing into 'sound-effects' territory in ways that are unconventionally emotionally-expressive.
"Break The Wall" is an excellent example of these two putting what I have described on full display, imo. ruclips.net/video/5Pc0XK0lNmU/видео.html
Midori will destroy the wall, climaxing with dive-bomb, then step forward to revel in her victory, then transition the entire mood of the song, joined by Miho's bass 'feature' creating 'space' for Miyako's "Gary Moore-esque" classic-soulful solo.
For me, the "emotion" is equal, though drastically different.
Possibly 'most intense' to 'most serene' of all LOVEBITES' songs, in the same song!
One (of many) of LOVEBITES music aspects that consistently enthralls me is their transitions featuring the 'tight' rhythm-section, be it Miho/Haruna or Fami/Haruna.
Haruna is unsurpassed in precision dbl-kick & cymbal-accents that support vocal & chordal melody. I am a drummer/guitarist and had never heard such use of cymbals previously.
🐺 dreg👁 (sub'd for more LOVEBITES!)
Good ear with the slap. The original bassist and co-founder Miho left the band about 2 years ago and they held an open audition for a new bassist. The winner, Fami, is a prodigy who already had a huge following on her personal YT channel where she arranged bass covers and had some original content. As far as style goes, Fami has, at least to me, a unique way of playing where she chords a lot with the left hand and thumps and plucks with he right hand with a sort of flamenco like strum, if that makes any sense. At first watch, it almost feels fake, because your eyes don't match what you're hearing. In fact, her most popular cover is an anime vocaloid cover called "Alien Alien" she did at 16, where she's doing crazy tapping, effortlessly hitting harmonics and thump slap flamenco strums in such a crazy way that a lot of people thought it was fake, until she released a video playing it live at a show. I think that's what your brilliantly picking up, that hybrid style. As far as the original bassist Miho, she's more traditional, finger picking and in a way that reminds me a lot of the Suicidal Tendencies Robert Trujillo and a little Cliff Burton. She also has a unique way of playing with her feet hand with a technique that is almost like a rolling motion, but not quite to the point of a hammer on it slide. It looks real fluid and chaotic at the same time, allowing her to fly lightning fast up and down the fret board. In any case, Miho was a great songwriter and had that special bassist/drummer connection with the other founding member, Haruna, when they were in the same band before Lovebites. It's going to be interesting to see how much of Fami's personal style with bass get woven into Lovebites as they move forward (Miyako, the Dean guitarist, also played bass on the latest album). I personally think "Judgement Day" is about the limit you'd want to go, as far as slap, in order to keep the feel of Lovebites. You have a great ear, you'll notice what I mean as you delve into the original lineup's music. They have a great catalogue, and it ranges from thrash, symphonic metal, power metal and then adds elements of rock, blues and even 80s synth rock in some songs. It's going to be well worth the journey. Great reaction! Enjoy!
Midori typically has faster solos and Miyako typically more melodic. I think that just comes down to their playing preferences, and the roles they like to fill in songs to give it that contrast. Miyako has said that she can play fast, it's more that she doesn't have to. It's definitely not a war for me. They're both absolutely amazing. "Crazy Shredder" (Midori) and "Golden Touch" (Miyako) are their nicknames. Miyako has really strong classical influences, due to being trained as a classical pianist since the age of 3, and she is at least as good if not better on piano (which is amazing). You could check out some tracks where you see that side of her as well. She also writes at least half their material. If pressed, I'll say Miyako is my favorite. Check out "Break the Wall" live from 2020 to see quite the contrast in their styles (by design in this song): ruclips.net/video/5Pc0XK0lNmU/видео.html
You want soulful guitar solo ? Go for break the wall by them
Welcome to the WOLFPACK 🐺. I'm smelling what your stepp'n in. OMO. MIDORI is a TECHNICAL TITAN.. MYAKO IS A MELODIC MONSTER. MYAKO has a L P just like the one behind you. In BREAK THE WALL " MYAKO solo is polar opposites from MIDORI. She takes that LP and gets her ERIC CLAPHAN on .. one of my favourite solos. I don't need to teach you everything about them as I am sure you've been well educated. They are THEE TIGHTEST CLEANEST GROUP OF MUSICIANS. You can pick any one of them, drop them in a band and it's gate $. That said.. DGG'N YER JAM.. walcome to the WOLFPACK 🐺
"BREAK-IN THE WALL" THE W
I've recently rediscovered this side of Japanese metal (I had listened to them in the past but kind of forgotten them). Miyako has a sort of nonchalance that I prefer over the badassery of Modori they're both superb musicians. There's also the start of a joke in their backgrounds: A ballerina, a fitness model and a classical pianst walk up on a stage...
Another band in this neck of the woods that might be worth checking out is Unlucky Morpheus. They're a bit more to the neoclassical side than Lovebites, but the same tempo and energy. They're also top of the line musicians and are all massive (music) nerds that started out as an anime-song cover band and have since done mostly original work. A song that shows off everyone's abilities really well is the live version of Black Pentagram ruclips.net/video/RUiRlUGMTwY/видео.html
(Just as a sidenote: they're not an all female band, only the singer and violin player are.)
I would be interested in hearing the completed joke! 😂I already have Unlucky Morpheus on my list so I will get there eventually!
Hey, Dude! You MUST react to Lovebites - Dissonance from their new album! MUST! Thanks for reaction! Best wishes from Bulgaria - Europe! Cheers!🥃
I have got that one my list so I will be getting to it soon! Thanks for watching! 🤘
The V that myako is playing is her signature series dean
Midori has the Kemper. I think she is also a Kemper artist. Kemper has posted her on IG some times. Also Midori tags Kemper in her posts
Kemper make great modelers! They were what made me start paying attention to digital amps.
@@BraindeadBreakdown Apparently Midori recently 'modeled' Miyako's Peavey 6505plus for availability in her Kemper.
Midori has used a Kemper for many years.
I will be suggesting some multi-song LIVE segments as I am convinced that one-song-at-a-time will never convey the continuity, power & eclecticism of LOVEBITES LIVE.
I am seriously impressed by their transitions (Haruna!!)
@@BraindeadBreakdown As someone who writes software for living I never understood why people use analog pedals when we have Digital Signal Processing and you can do whatever you like with the sound. Things like touch sensitivity are cakewalk for Digital processes .

Thanks for your reaction. You said you liked Matt Heafy and TRIVIUM. Back in 2018 and 2019, Matt recorded acoustic covers of two LOVEBITES songs: 'Above The Black Sea' and 'Epilogue' . And posted them on my YT channel.
Among the fans of LOVEBITES, there are those who prefer Miyako (brunette), and those who prefer Midori (blonde). But I didn’t notice any "war" among the fans about this. Miyako fans and Midori fans respect both ladies.
I like Midori better (as a guitarist). In general, Midori is my favorite member of the band. But this does not mean that Miyako is weaker as a guitarist. I put Midori and Miyako on the same level in guitar playing skills. Each of them just has their own style.
Besides, Miyako is a true musical genius. She wrote about 50% of the band's music. In the melodies she writes you can often catch the influence of classical music, which Miyako adores as a pianist! For me, Miyako is the Mozart of the XXI st century. No wonder she was nicknamed the 'The Golden Touch'.
“I put Midori and Miyako on the same level in guitar playing skills. Each of them just has their own style.”
Although Miyako is very good at guitar, she is not as good as Midori at it. I have no issue pointing out these sort of differences. Having said that, Miyako does more than just guitar though, which makes her special. If Miyako could play just as good as Midori while still making music and play piano well, she would have too many advantages over Midori.
And I would say there is a huge part who say that the best of both is them playing together …
As a complete musician Miyako is my favorite. As guitarists i like both equally. For example in „Break the wall“ or „Liar“ i absolutely love both solos. In „Judgement Day“ i like Midori’s Parts better. In „Shadowmaker“ i prefer Miyako’s solo section …
@@SomethingToDo360 This is your opinion and I respect it. You have already read my opinion in my comment. This is despite the fact that my favorite guitarist is Midori.🤗
Midori has keyboards at home. Before starting to play guitar, Midori played piano/keyboards for almost 16 years (from age 2 to age 18), so Midori has a decent amount of experience playing these instruments. Maybe someday we'll see her play the piano/keyboards
@@stand.and.deliver.5 I agree with you. The duo Midori & Miyako is a unique combination of two talented guitarists, which gives LOVEBITES originality. When it comes to teamwork, synchronization and guitar harmonization, for me Midori & Miyako are the #1 guitar duo.
@@GrayFox14 If we see Midori play piano, a likely outcome would be me saying Miyako is better at piano. 😃
But is there a war between the fans of the two guitarists? I like Miyako better myself for the same reasons you said. And also because at first glance Midori is the obvious one to like better. And I tend to not go for the obvious thinking the less obvious is more deep. But I think Midori is equally as good. But when you have that much talent, it's not a case of who's better. Also, Miyako, though more subdued on stage, seems to be the more active in social media. By the way, Miyako also plays classical piano on some of their songs. "Swan Song" being the obvious one.
It came across that way previously, but I could be wrong. I think going forward I will probably prefer Miyakos playing because I like soulful guitar. Not that the flashy playing doesn't sound awesome too 😊
Fami Fami Fami!
So, this was their first song after a one or two year break. When they picked up a new bassist, Fami, this was their flex moment.
They came back with a vengeance!
Indeed they did! 🤘
Troll alert everyone. For those who don't know, this guy ingopek or whatever has been going around several Lovebites reactions to spew his nonsense and hate. In fact, he has just been banned from another reaction channel for being a troll. I recommend 2 approaches - (1) just ignore, since sad common trolls like this one deserves zero attention, which is the best approach. (2) continue to engage if you have the time because lengthy comments and replies will help the reactor with the YT algorithms which in turn will also help people find Lovebites reactions like this one. This troll is intentionally trying to undermine Lovebites, so let's use post (if the OP doesn't mind) to promote Lovebites instead
@@ingopek5485 Haha... A common troll talking about spam, I won't even demean myself further from talking about it with the likes of you.
@@ingopek5485 Firstly, I don't have any personal beef with you, I'm just alerting everyone here that you're a troll. If you want to have "peace", just move on and support whatever band you like and stop spamming Lovebites reactions. Deal ?
Atention: Troll alert! This dude ist constantly telling bullshit!
Moore is one of the all time Monsters. Miyako is really a killer...but I'm still in love with Midori and Haruna.😂
Wait until you see myako on piano
Not Miyoky- she is Miyako
Not only was it Fami's first album - this was her first live show as a member. I didn't think you were "negative" in you previous reaction and I totally understand what you were saying about the 2 guitarists. BTW did you introduce them to your mum? 😊😊 Miyako is a bit of a guitar nerd and has 3 Deans and at least 2 Gibsons plus 3 or 4 others. You should see her on the piano though.
I did see that and she came out with a vengeance! I have not showed them to mum yet but I will soon 😊 I am glad you didn't take what I was saying negatively as well, it is just how I look at guitar. I will check her out on Piano eventually, I am sure she is a virtuoso! Pianists always amaze me but I have less knowledge on the subject compared to guitar.
Miyako has a least 4 Dean’s: Icon, ML, 2 Flying V MYK. From Gibson She has also 3 Les Paul’s, a Futura, Explorer and Korina Flying V. She also has a few Fender Strats, and the self built Telecaster and the Infinity Strat and a Warwick customshop bass.

@boyzyu I appreciate what you are trying to do, but if you continue to repost the exact same comment over and over there is a good chance you might get in trouble with a youtube bot for spam. I am not going to mark it that way but I thought I would say this just in case 😊
@@BraindeadBreakdown Honestly, just ban the bot/person/whatever.
well lovebitten to the wolfpack !!

I think you have misunderstood something. Fans generally love all members of Lovebites and 100% love when Midori and Miyako play together. Among fans I have not really heard so much about any discussions who is best. It is quite common among reactors though. And, some years ago it was a kind of annoying standard comment among reactors that Midori is so outgoing and is so good with her audience interaction while Miyako only stands there like a zombie. That was not fun. We all know the different personalities of Midory and Miyako, they are very different. But both are fantastic musicians and very nice persons, and totally best friends doing lots of fun stuff together. And actually, when Miyako seems far away she is concentrating and feeling the music. And, as far as I understand, Miyako is more comfortable in small situations. Like actually, most people are. Please go up on that stage and feel like it is your natural habitat. Not many do. Another such artificial thing is the talk about Miho vs Fami. I do not think I ever have heard a fan that do not love both. Miho had her reasons to leave, and she was one of the two founders after all, Haruna being the other. And Fami was a very nice find. Miho had her heavy and stable rock finger bass and Fami is more technical and do slapping and diverse fancy stuff, now learning rock and metal. All is good.
I think you shall take a look at the video "Stand and deliver" which is the second one with Fami. Then you get some insight regarding the good friends in Lovebites, and how much fun they have. I love that video. Its good music also, you get that as a bonus.
In the next video you could React to "Break the Wall" please, in that song there are many solos by Midori and Miyako to enjoy, Plus the song has a bit of Trash/Power Metal, in itself it is one of my Favorite songs because it is very Dynamic. Greetings Amigo!
It will be one of the next LB song I record a video for. The next video that goes up for them will be Nameless Warrior though as I have already recorded the video, I just need to edit it 🤘

Out of curiosity, why do people recommend Break the Wall so much? Although the instrumentals are very good, the vocals on that song don’t quite work IMO. I think with being Lovebites fans, most people probably can’t tell the difference (assuming everything is always perfect), and not understand that it doesn’t always play over well for picking early impressions. You can disagree obviously, but that’s my opinion on it. I know my post will likely upset someone, but just sharing my impression anyway.
@@SomethingToDo360 Asami's and powerful mezzo-soprano vocals is best expressed with the melodic speed-power tracks and power ballads, slightly less with some of the thrash songs.
@@ingopek5485 So expert welder, where's your credentials and explanation of how Lovebites isn't good? I really want to hear your expert musical knowledge to explain it in detail.
😄😄🤘🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🤘😄😄🙏❣ 🤘Happy Metal🤘
🤘🤘
If you like Gary Moore check out their song Break the Wall
I think what happened with your last reaction is that sometimes critique from reactors who consider themselves musicians (albeit failed ones), or vocal coaches (failed singers), is that it looks petty and in some ways the reactor has the attitude that they could do it better. It happens alot. It could just be a perception thing in the way it comes across. It's like the food critic that can't cook. And yet... Great reaction.
I am not trying to come across better than them at all. It isn't a competition to me and hasn't been since I was a teenager. I just love music and want to share my love of it with others.
@@BraindeadBreakdown I didn't mean you in particular. I just meant that sometimes people perceive it that way with certain reactors. This wasn't directed ay uou personally. Really good reaction.
@@randypeters366 Don't worry, I didn't take offense to it. I just wanted to put that out there for any one else who may have thought I am claiming superiority 😂 Thanks for watching!
Great reaction and I'm in the same boat as you and I prefer feeling above technicality but both of them are outstanding and complement each other very well. The next best song for you is Break the wall live because one part is very trashy with a solo of Midori and one part is slower where Miyako shines with a very fine bluesy solo with lots of expression. It's not that Midori can't play with a lot of feeling but she's more extravert en likes fast, flashy solo's.
I have got that one my list so I will get there eventfully. The next Lovebites video going up is on Nameless Warrior 😊
Stumbled upon? You started the war! 😆
It's all good though. Just a healthy competition.
😂😂 it was an accident! Healthy competition is good!
Among the stellar performances from all 5 ladies, I'd like to single out Midori on this track. I'd really like to hear her part in isolation. She's got so much going on! However, concerning myself with who is the better guitarist is nowhere in my mind. It's a pointless pursuit that really offers no benefit to the band or the fans.
Her name Is Miyako, not "Meyoke" !!!
Thank you, I obviously needed correcting on that seeing as 1. It is in the title of my video and 2. I correct myself towards the end 😂
Looking forward to your reviews !🙂
i don't know nothing about guitar but i think Miyako have the same Gibson like on your wall but darker colour, but i coukd be wrong, btw are u already tell your mom? :)
She probably does but it is most likely the better version! Mine is the cheaper Epiphone 😂 I told my mum about them but I haven't showed her yet 😊
Great show🔥
Man, can you also check out ANGRA's new song "Ride into the Storm" please?
The music video is dedicated to their first vocalist "Andre Matos".
Thank you and have a great day👍🏻
I will add it to my list, I will get there eventually 😊
Personal tastes in guitarist playstyle differs.
Don't worry about it.
Also, this track is the worst mixed in this particular set, unfortunately.
You have a very long ways to go, and like many of us, you'll end up loving them all as a band.
who is miyoki??
I think-Miyako is the hiden lider in Love Bites
She is the musical leader and Asami is the bands „mother“
Today the leader of the band can be called Asami. Both on stage and off stage. Miyako is the main composer.
Rhythm leader is Haruna, emotional leader is Midori, Smiling leader is Fami. Can go on! They have a quite interesting team structure! Everything fits in...
Wolfpack don't argue over "which guitarist is better". We all know they are so different from each other in style. Only UTube reactors bring up that issue, it's not our concern. So, you should drop it already. BTW, I don't agree with your opinion that Midori is more technical than Miyako. It's just Midori plays faster. Miyako mixes all the techniques for musicality, her middle name is "Golden Touch". Touch is very high musical skill. It is not an emotion, it's a skill. It's like an ultimate sport car vs. a gorgeous highway cruiser. You need both if you can have them both, and you can with Lovebites.
You don't have to agree. They are all subjective opinions. I don't recall saying Midori is more technical anyway, just more flashy. I prefer the more soulful style.
@@BraindeadBreakdown You didn't?
@@gatograto There is also the chance I misspoke what I was thinking too, I am new at this 😂 Either way, no offence to either of them was intended, they are both amazing!
@@BraindeadBreakdown I think I understood what you are trying to say. Let's look forward to your next reaction.
I found this band back in 2017 and it was instant love, and in the beginning, there was a lot of hate for Lovebites in this racist country (America). The English and European were more receptive with Lovebites being an all-female metal band. There were 4 of us who fought long and hard to get more exposure for Lovebites but the hatred was relentless these Americans love gimmick bands and prefer dance routine over talented musicians. Three years down the road some began to cave and accept Lovebites because more reactors began to showcase them on their channel. Now many are wondering why Lovebites hasn't come to America I can tell why they have waited, there is still not enough acceptance and perhaps still too much hatred and I don't blame Lovebites for it.
I don't care about their race, gender or any of that. If they make good music, I will listen! The way it should be 😂
Ha ha ha, that is such BS.
@@PaleHorseShabuShabu Lol off he goes again...
I guess so if you apply race in every single aspect of your life.
@@BraindeadBreakdown I never mentioned anything with race
k, this is actually the first time i've actually sat down and paid attention to this band ; and my initial instinctual reaction is: "Priest, but with b00bies and way better bass lines, but lacking in vocal 'aggression'".
take that for what it's worth 🤷♂
i'll need more time with this band to figure out if i like them or not. it'll come down to whether or not i can warm up to the vocalist (there's a lack of diction, and don't know if i like this particular tone with this style of music) ; but the dueling guitars and dynamic bass are certainly making a powerful argument. we'll have to see.
btw, i also remember a very similar debate about "which is the better guitarist" amongst Slipknot fans back when they first hit the scene. and let's not get started on the Murray/Smith/Gers debate (a la Iron Maiden) 😂
The guitar and bass have fully sold me. I can understand where you are coming from with the critique, but I haven't heard any new music in this style for a while. So it tickles the right part of my brain 😂
@@BraindeadBreakdown oh, enjoy away - there's lots there to enjoy.
i'm just a grouchy finicky bastard 😂
(also note that Dream Theater has been my all-time favorite band for 30 years DESPITE the fact that i've never really liked Labrie's vocals 😂)
@@Double_J_48629 Although the vocals aren’t what I would call perfect (especially in Break the Wall and Thunder Vengeance), the band has amazing instrumentals and will have an easy time standing out from other bands because of it. In terms of me picking a favorite, it’s more about Lovebites winning vs other bands when looking at an overall picture, rather than me just picking what I consider the best vocalist to then be my favorite band. For songs, I recommend checking out Solider Stands Solitarily and A Frozen Serenade (for Frozen, check the live version).
@@SomethingToDo360 just note that my initial reference point was none other than Judas Priest -- y'know, just one of the most iconic guitar duos in metal history (you'd be hard pressed to find much better praise) .... just sayin' 🤷♂😉
and thanks for the heads up on the other songs 👍
A bit difficult to sing in a language that's foreign to you, I'd think. Hell, I still can't understand a lot from my favorite Robert Plant after 40 years! That's why I give Asami even higher marks than normal, aside from her amazing range, tone, and breath control. Few in the world could do what she is doing.
Midori the best💚💚💚💚💚
