LOVEBITES are the GODDESSES of heavy , power , thrash metal ! In 2018 , LOVEBITES won the prestigious Metal Hammer GOLDEN GODS Award for "Best New Band" (London,UK). The winners of the GOLDEN GODS Award in different years and in various categories were such famous bands and musicians,such as : Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Motörhead, Twisted Sister, Ozzy Osbourne, Lemmy Kilmister, Zakk Wylde, Nikki Sixx, Joe Perry, Judas Priest, Anthrax, Slayer, Saxon, Nightwish, Rammstein, Sabaton, Children of Bodom, Arch Enemy (and this is not a complete list). LOVEBITES is a Japanese female power metal band, formed in 2016 by former Japanese heavy metal band DESTROSE members Miho( bass,backing vocals) and Haruna(drums). The band has successfully performed at various major international rock-festivals many times .In the spring of 2018, LOVEBITES performed on the Japanese leg of the Warped Tour. In August 2018, they performed at Wacken Open Air (Germany), becoming the first Japanese female rock band to perform at the festival. Also in August 2018 they performed on the main stage of Bloodstock Open Air (UK). In 2019, LOVEBITES performed at the Download Festival in both Donington (UK) and Madrid (Spain). Their performance in Donington was named by the festival organizers and Metal Hammer magazine as one of the highlights of the festival! In the same year they performed at the Graspop Metal Meeting (Belgium) and the Summer Sonic Festival (Japan). Unfortunately, the Covid pandemic that began in 2020 prevents LOVEBITES from performing at festivals and forced a drastic reduction of concerts. LOVEBITES is a phenomenal band, all the ladies are talented musicians! For 5 years they have recorded about 50 songs and all the songs are very good! 🐺Miho - bass, backing vocals (in August 2021 she left the band). 🐺Haruna - drums. 🐺Midori - guitars, backing vocals. 🐺Miyako (Mi-Ya)- guitars, piano, keyboards, backing vocals. 🐺Asami - lead vocals, piano. All songs LOVEBITES are written in English. Unlike other metal bands, LOVEBITES are always on stage in white dresses . White dresses are their style. Many people, having seen them on stage, say that in white dresses they look like Greek Goddesses playing metal ! The Wolf is the mascot of LOVEBITES and is featured on all band's albums except the first EP "The Lovebites". The band's fans call themselves the 🐺Wolfpack🐺.
About Asami (vocalist), watch: "Edge of the World" (ballad) or "Set the World on fire" (thrash) or "Frozen serenade" (prog) or her cover of Halloween " Eagle fly free", or "Apocalypse" (2021) about the nuclear bombs on Japan or "Rising" or " Dancing with the devil" or what you want about the Lovebites!
To be fair, the band’s name, like their appearance, is deceptive. This band is head and shoulders above anyone else playing today, and when you get a few more songs by them under your belt, you’ll appreciate Asami’s voice a lot more. Personally I think she’s up there with Floor in terms of range, except that she doesn’t attempt anything operatic. Not only is she a fantastic singer she’s a fantastic front woman. They have a 50 song catalogue, no album fillers and are indistinguishable live from studio. Best band in my 62 years on this planet (which means I’m ranking them higher than those many consider legendary. It’s a compliment based on every facet of the band, not just the music. They do what even the greats never even attempted).
You were expecting something like Babymetal but you've never actually listened to Babymetal? I think you might possibly have some preconceptions here. When you slip out of your comfort zone I think you'll find that Japanese women are currently leading the world in hard rock and heavy metal. Babymetal and Lovebites are the tip of a very big iceberg.
That is 100% fair, I based a lot of that expectation on the name and haven't actually given them a chance. I try to be open-minded about music, but it is clear that I still need to improve.
@@MacyandAdamReact If you want to explore Japanese rock, Japan has had an active all-girl metal scene since at least 1981. This is a starter list of all-female (or in eight cases, mixed gender) metal, punk, hard-rock and post-rock bands, with founding dates where I know them. It's alphabetical, except for the first three, which are at the top of the list for historical reasons. They set the table for the explosion of Japanese female hard-rock, punk and metal bands. Note: I have tried to pick clips that are reactor-friendly because they are high quality and are representative of the band's style. You are likely to get suggestions mainly for Band-Maid, Babymetal, Lovebites, Nemophila, Unlucky Morpheus and Wagakki Band. You can’t go wrong with any of those, but I hope you will find time to check out more of the bands on this list. They are all worth the time and deserve the love, and many will really surprise you. My personal favorites include Asterism, Bridear, Doll$Boxx, existTtrace, Hagane, Hanabie, Mary’s Blood, Sokoninaru and Tricot.

LOVEBITES - Swan Song lyrics: If this was the last day you could live on this earth Would you still go on, accusing someone for today It’s better to fail than not do anything at all It is not the length, but depth of life that counts Oh brave soldier Oh gallant warrior Valor to those who died in battle to Valhalla Believe what’s in your soul For death will come to all You shall rest peacefully in God’s Heaven Floating lotus You are so graceful Saintly and glorious Till the end of time Floating lotus You are so beautiful Sing me your sweet song The legend of the swan If you’ve never hoped, you’ve never been though despair Ignorance is bliss, it’s easier to not care You might think it’s meaningless to sacrifice a life Sometimes the life of one can save so many more Oh brave soldier Oh gallant warrior Valor to those who died in battle to Valhalla Believe what’s in your soul For death will come to all You shall rest peacefully in God’s Heaven Floating lotus You are so graceful Saintly and glorious Till the end of time Floating lotus You are so beautiful Sing me your sweet song The legend of the swan Floating lotus You are so graceful Saintly and glorious Till the end of time Floating lotus You are so beautiful Sing me your sweet song The legend of the swan ----- lyrics: asami music: miyako arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami)
Asami for me is superior to any other female singer, there are no weak parts here. Please, continue with LOVEBITES and you will see why they are the best heavy metal band today. Asami ❤️👑 Long Live LOVEBITES! 🐺🤘 Miho💜 Thank you 💜
Asami is superior because such singers as Nightwish, Evanescence and Within Temptation have all the same problem, they are failed opera singers and their voices don't match at all with metal, I've always hated that sound from their mouth. Asami sings straight, like any regular singer, with a powerful voice.
If you want to compare Asami to Floor check out Lovebites Edge of the World ruclips.net/video/UZjxMjBop7w/видео.html you'll be amazed she holds one note at the beginning of this ballad and her original genre before she joined Lovebites was R&B music.
and Epilogue ruclips.net/video/JIAJYBuuKGM/видео.html. Asami is so soulful. She is just different from Floor even if Floor is a perfect singer for you. This band plays another type of music although Nightwish is a good band as well, not to be compared.
@@gatograto I was never into Floor. I LOVE Asami. I stopped listening to Nightwish when Tarja left. I liked Tarja in Nightwish. You already know my other favorite singer is Yuko Suzuhana! ☺

Stay safe. Stay Lovebites.
Funny thing about "anime-ish" is that they do almost one anime song opening, requested by the director of the anime series "Vlad-Love" calles "Winds of Transilvania" A really hard and fast metal theme.
With her eyes closed!!! Miyako plays piano with her eyes closed. She's a classical trained pianist since the of three. Miyako taught herself to play the guitar, no lessons. She also writes most of their music. Miyako also plays a pretty mean bass and a little drums. Watch "Burden of Time" live studio version. Miyako plays the keyboard and guitar at the same time. In this video she opens with Chopin. Watch "Empty Daydream" live 2019, where she opens with Rachmaninov and switches over to the guitar.
The common point between the group you mentioned and LOVEBITES. Like NIGHTWISH, the sound sources of LOVEBITES are mixed and mastered by Mikko Karmila and Mika Jussila from Finland respectively. At the offer of Herman Li, they are accompanying the "Dragon Force UK Tour 2019" as a support act and are deepening their friendship. And the common point with BABYMETAL is that they are the same Japanese women. BABYMETAL is a band created from the project of a TV program called "Fusion of Idol and Heavy Metal", and is a very different existence even in Japan.
Thanks for your reaction and welcome to the Wolfpack!! 🐺🤘🏻 Lovebites are the evolution of 80s/90s metal and they are all top notch in their game. Asami is originally an R&B singer, now she sings 10x faster than before. Floor is probably the best metal singer of the world, but even she would have hard time singing that fast. If you want experience Asami’s voice better, I suggest “Edge of the World” m.ruclips.net/video/UZjxMjBop7w/видео.html
I agree with you. If Adam likes NIGHTWISH, then it's hard for him to immediately appreciate and love Asami's voice. Singers Floor Jansen and Tarja Turunen have a different style of singing (symphonic metal) Asami - it's mostly thrash, power, speed metal. Different genres. I join your advice to make a reaction to the song “Edge of the World”
No need to pay with us, we do have a Patreon but it doesn't have any activity yet, Andy made his requests on our Nightwish reaction videos. We try to listen to anything that gets requested, it just takes us some time to get to them sometimes.
Great reaction guys! You don't know it yet but you just witnessed one of the best metal bands in present time. You just witnessed one of the best guitar players slay the guitar and also murder the piano which is ridiculous. It can't be understated enough how amazing this band is if you know you're music. These girls are at the top of their genre in my opinion and I welcome any challenge to that.
Next live songs, Set The World On Fire, Glory To The World, Break The Wall, When Destinies Align, Scream For Me, Raise Some Hell, intro songs with piano Edge Of The World, Empty Day Dream, All Japanese female Metal Bands, LOVEBITES, NEMOPHILA, BAND-MAID, HANABIE, TRIDENT-JAPAN, MARY'S BLOOD, SCANDAL, DOLL$BOX, ASTERISM(female guitarist) will make your jaw dropped, check them out guys...
There are 200+ Rock/Metal bands in Japan, over half all female!!! Miyako (piano, guitar) composed and arranged the music, lyrics were written by Asami (vocals). Miyako began piano at 3yo, picking up the guitar at 17/18. Self-taught, no lessons!! Talent is recognized early in Japan and there is the infrastructure of schools, talent agencies, etc. for vocals, dance, musical instrument education. Many beginning as young as 6 yo in vocals and dance. Example - Babymetal. Note Babymetal is the most popular and famous Japanese band in the world. Next Lovebites - "Set the World on Fire" tour de force for Asami. Other Bands - Nemophila - "Monsters" & "Dissension"; performed at the Whiskey a Go Go on 1 July and will be performing at the AfterShock Music festival, Sacramento in October. Band Maid - "Freedom" and "Domination" both live. Considered by many to be the best Rock in the world!! They will also be performing at AfterShock in October, then going on their US Tour, 13 cities with most sold-out. Note Band Maid has been touring the US since 2016. All are All Female bands!!!
Thank you Andy Helms for your persistence. And Macy and Adam, you have just discovered the best new metal band to come along in decades. In their five years of existence as a band, they set a standard that easily puts them on a par with the greatest bands of metal’s golden age. Other reviewers have described them as alien superheroes disguised as young women, angels sent to save us, princesses of metal, and angry bridesmaids. Whatever the description, I think one can say they have given metal a badly needed makeover and maybe a new lease on life. They have themselves said that part of their mission is to save heavy metal from darkness and obscurity. Some background: They were formed in 2016 from the remnants of a legendary all-girl Japanese metal band called Destrose (yes, all-girl metal has been a thing in Japan since at least 1981). Miho (bass, chief headbanger and soul of the band) had a vision of a new band in the style of the greatest European bands of the golden age of metal. She recruited her former bandmate Haruna (drums, 4'9" “pocket nuclear reactor”); they needed two world-class guitarists, and so they went and found Midori and Miyako, who were with other bands. The whole group then found Asami, the singer, who was doing soul and blues at the time (she also trained in ballet). Miyako has composed most of their music, with Miho composing a lot of their thrashier songs in collaboration with Mao, the lead composer of another band called Lightbringer. Midori has also been getting into the act, and they regularly perform a song written by Haruna as well. Asami writes most of the lyrics. As you are witnessing, Miyako is also a professional-level concert pianist. She was headed for a career in classical music, before picking up the guitar. She wrote “Swan Song” using elements from several classical pieces including Chopin's "Revolutionary Etude", which she also used in the intro. Lovebites studied all the great historical metal bands going back to Purple and Sabbath, through Maiden, Priest, Metallica, Helloween, Slayer etc. They toured with Dragonforce in 2019, and word from those in attendance is that next time around, it will be the ladies headlining. They have incorporated some of the best of each of those bands into their arsenal, and have created a sound that is fresh and cutting edge while paying tribute to the old masters. They do everything from soulful power ballads to heavy thrash. Almost every song includes face-melting solos by Miyako and Midori. The two guitarists are quite different in style and tone. Midori (blonde ponytail) is the extrovert and speed demon; Miyako is the introvert, with the more soulful feel (though she can also shred like a demon). Midori uses a cleaner tone, Miyako uses more distortion, pinch harmonics and pedal effects. The contrast makes their duets rich and dynamic. It doesn’t hurt that either one can smoke most of the shredders in the classic metal bands. As another reviewer said, "It seems criminal these two are allowed to be in the same band." Here are more clips you should check out: Their most recently posted live clips, “Set the World on Fire” ruclips.net/video/99zsH6iG_6c/видео.html and “Don’t Bite the Dust” ruclips.net/video/oHnKGEj1CMc/видео.html, which are both from their recently released concert DVD “Heavy Metal Never Dies”. "Edge of the World" and "We the United", back to back: ruclips.net/video/sl0-U-ykJCU/видео.html They form an incredible journey from darkness and despair to light and hope. Also, “Empty Daydream”, which starts as a ballad and becomes a real rocker: ruclips.net/video/lXh_uMM94jU/видео.html; “Holy War”: ruclips.net/video/bgAxpEpEcno/видео.html For a thrasher with heavy Slayer and Metallica vibes, “Break the Wall” ruclips.net/video/G021aP2ao6Y/видео.html includes two gorgeous and completely contrasting solos by M&M. For a heart-stopping ballad, “Epilogue” ruclips.net/video/1ynnXDfEnnY/видео.html (this includes a second song, your choice whether or not to react to both) Finally, while you will sometimes hear you should only react to live clips, actually their MV’s are epic and worth seeing. Here are four of the most spectacular: "Shadowmaker" ruclips.net/video/Brmoln5Gxus/видео.html This is the song that blew up and melted faces all over the world "When Destinies Align" ruclips.net/video/hLFelI93VkM/видео.html "Glory to the World" ruclips.net/video/-wJtD2XEXH4/видео.html "Winds of Transylvania" ruclips.net/video/HsE4Ub_Pjh8/видео.html. You'll get lots of suggestions, just one thing: don't bother with Bloodstock footage, the sound quality is poor. Best to take suggestions with actual links. Also, you can’t go wrong with any of their official clips. Welcome to the Wolf-Pack!
Doesn't get any better than Lovebites, best metal band period! You have much more to go, they are talented AF, next level. The drummer is 4' 9" to put it in perspective. They do thrash, power, progressive and ballads. You need to check out Holy War live ruclips.net/video/bgAxpEpEcno/видео.html. Lovebites toured with Dragonforce. 🐺
That was a good reaction. Now Japan is a homeland of the heavy metal. Japanese band has such classical metal sound. You should check out more songs. The vocalist Asami has a very powerful voice. You can check it by listening more to Lovebites. Of course you should listen to their songs "Holy war" and "Set the world on fire". You will be impressed. Thank you for your reaction.
Lovebites are truly special and seem to have been a hidden gem inside the Asian world. It’s great that they’re being discovered and appreciated by the western world. I would encourage you to listen to more Lovebites because you’ll discover how fast they grow on you. Since you focused on the lead singer, Asami, I think you might really enjoy seeing a fuller side of her broad talent. Following is a link to their performance of Empty Daydream where Asami gives a very short, sweet, and heartfelt introduction to their song. This lets you hear her natural voice prior to the coming song. I would really be interested in your analysis after you view this masterpiece ruclips.net/video/NTawLj-bEOM/видео.html
Thank you for your reaction! 👏I liked the reaction, just a small clarification😊 In the name of the reaction (under the video) you indicated only "Swan Song". "Etude" by F. Chopin is a separate piece of music. "Etude" & "Swan Song" would be more correct. This is not criticism, this is advice🤗. 1. "Etude Op.10, No.12" by the great Polish composer Frederic Chopin, which was written in 1831 and is dedicated to the Polish patriots who raised an uprising (1830-1831) against the Russian Empire, whose troops occupied Poland; 2. "Swan song" ( lyrics - Asami , music -Miyako) from the third album LOVEBITES "Electric Pentagram" (2020). "Etude" by F. Chopin and "Swan Song" are dedicated to the soldiers who died in battle. Therefore, at the concert, "Etude" and "Swan Song" are played together. For many centuries (starting from Ancient Greece) there is a legend, according to which swans, non-singing, "silent" birds, acquire a voice a few moments before death, and this dying singing of swans is amazingly beautiful. During the final part (piano Miyako), symbolizing the death of the swan, Asami (a former ballerina, studied classical ballet for about 16 years before becoming a singer) depicts a dying swan on stage as in P. Tchaikovsky's famous ballet "Swan Lake". Since the camera at the end of the song is focused on Miyako, Asami's "death of the swan" did not frame.
@@MacyandAdventures I was glad to share the information with you.😊 Pay more attention to LOVEBITES and they will surprise you even more. At the moment, LOVEBITES is, without exaggeration, one of the best metal bands in the world. Thanks for the reaction!
this is what you might call one of their more operatic metal ballads - kinda. they more often than not go very hard with power and thrash. to really get a full appreciation of vocalist asami's range you need to check out either 'holy war' or 'set the world on fire' live for which i will leave the link. they play everything under the sun to perfection. this song showcases the whole band but especially the 2 guitarists midori and miyako. ruclips.net/video/99zsH6iG_6c/видео.html
Welcomed to the mind-blowing world of Lovebites. These women are extremely talented, skillful and versatile exceptional musicians. They really shine in their live performances. Asami was a R&B, jazz, soul singer before she joined Lovebites. Those twin lead guitar solos by Midori and Miyako are already legendary, in just six years. Miyako is also a concert level pianist. I see no reason trying to compare Floor vs Asami; to me, Floor is perfect for Nightwish and Asami is perfect for Lovebites. If you want to appreciate Asami’s vocals, try “Empty daydream”, “Epilogue”, “Edge of the world” or “Dancing with the devil” (all live)
LOVEBITES - Swan Song lyrics (Filipino): Kung ito ang huling araw na maaari kang mabuhay sa mundong ito Mundo na nagpatuloy ka pa rin, na nag-aakusa ng isang tao para sa araw na ito Mas mahusay na mabibigo kaysa hindi gumawa ng anuman Hindi ang haba, ngunit ang lalim ng buhay ang mahalaga Oh matapang na sundalo Oh galanteng mandirigma Katapangan sa mga namatay sa labanan kay Valhalla Maniwala ka kung ano ang nasa kaluluwa mo Para sa kamatayan ay darating sa lahat Magpapahinga ka ng mapayapa sa Langit ng Diyos Lumulutang na lotus Napakabait mo Banal at maluwalhati Hanggang sa katapusan ng oras Lumulutang na lotus Napakaganda mo Kantahan mo ako ng sweet song mo Ang alamat ng sisne Kung hindi mo kailanman inaasahan, hindi ka pa nawawalan ng pag-asa Ang kamangmangan ay lubos na kaligayahan, mas madaling walang pakialam Maaari mong isipin na walang kahulugan ang pagsakripisyo ng isang buhay Minsan ang buhay ng isa ay maaaring makatipid ng marami pang iba Oh matapang na sundalo Oh galanteng mandirigma Katapangan sa mga namatay sa labanan kay Valhalla Maniwala ka kung ano ang nasa kaluluwa mo Para sa kamatayan ay darating sa lahat Magpapahinga ka ng mapayapa sa Langit ng Diyos Lumulutang na lotus Ikaw naman eh kaaya-aya Banal at maluwalhati Hanggang sa katapusan ng oras Lumulutang na lotus Napakaganda mo Kantahan mo ako ng sweet song mo Ang alamat ng sisne Lumulutang na lotus Napakabait mo Banal at maluwalhati Hanggang sa katapusan ng oras Lumulutang na lotus Napakaganda mo Kantahan mo ako ng sweet song mo Ang alamat ng sisne -----
Thanks for this reaction video. All 5 Lovebites women are masters. These Ladies write, compose and arrange their own songs. Almost 50 premium songs in 5 years and not a single weak song. Masters in live playing and geniuses in composing. LOVEBITES: Their gimmick is their ability! -🤘🐺🤘 This women play different styles, but always hard and fast. Thrash Metal + Power Metal + Speed Metal + Metal Ballads. We hope for more of you to Lovebites.

Lovebites surprises you because they are the only Japanese band with a Western sound and one of the few Japanese bands who sing in English. Comparing anyone to Floor is impossible because Floor is the best female singer of all time. You need to do more Lovebites because they will blow you away in each song. Now do Set the World on Fire next, the live version.
Sorry, disagree. Floor maybe the best Metal singer (but Asami comes really close) but there are much better singers in other genres. I am thinking about Beth Hart, Angelina Jordan and even Diana Ankudinova.
Floor is a good vocalist. But you don't even have to go far, Tarja is incomparably better. This does not mean Tarja of the Nightwish era, then she was a novice singer and was just learning vocals, but her solo career. Extensive discography (5 LPs and many EPs) and 6 live shows on blu-ray, 4 of them rock metal and 2 classical. And everyone is very good. By the way, Tarja's solo work is similar to Lovebites in terms of genre diversity and classical background, because she is a classically trained singer and composes and arranges her own music. As a vocalist, Floor is not even close to Tarja's level. This is very easy to see for yourself, just listen.
@@dymyavalor6135 I was at the concert of Tarja Turunen when she came to our city. At the end of the concert, I managed to squeeze closer to the stage, I saw Tarja at a distance of 5-6 meters. It seemed to me that she was also short (although she was wearing high heels). But her voice!!!! 💥All the same, she has a classical opera education, if I remember correctly. I like Nightwish with Tarja, I like Nightwish with Floor. I don't think they should be compared. Both are world class singers. P.S. I'm sorry, but I wouldn't call Tarja an aspiring singer when she was in Nightwish. Perhaps the first 2-3 years?! Although, Tarja came to Nightwish already having experience: as a child, she sang in the church choir, graduated from the music department of the gymnasium, and studied at the Music Academy. "Tarja's Era" lasted 9 years, she left Nightwish in 2005 with a lot of experience.
@@GrayFox14 In 2005, Tarja completed her studies at the Hochschule für Musik Karlsruhe, where she received her second higher musical education and left Nightwish. She announced that she was leaving back in 2002, but she was persuaded to stay. During her solo career, Tarja developed her own unique rock metal vocal technique, something in the style of Peter Gabriel (her idol) only with the strength and power of academic vocals. And in good quality, it sounds just great. There is no such thing in the world anymore. Musically, it's hard rock, heavy metal, progressive, ballads - all with a classic background. Not only outstanding vocals, but also very varied and interesting music performed with good professional musicians. I'm not interested in Nightwish at all, very weak musicians (except for vocals and a new drummer) and simple uninteresting music, something like symphonic pop metal.
Andy's the man, he has turned more reactors on too LoveBites, probably more than anyone else? ❤️🎙🎸🎹🥁😎👌P.S. The all Female Rock & Metal scene in Japan is most definitely.....A Thing, with a huge fan base !!!
Nice reaction ,but you have to listen to more japanise all female hard rock and metal band witch are all fantastic Nemophila, Band Maid,Hanabie,Hagane,Cross Vein and many more. Japan is at the moment the best place for that kind of music😁 These band are all top musicans many classic educatidet and have theire typical style. Much more interesteing then the always "same" things you hear in western Rock and Metal music.Hope you try some of theme 😀
Just here for the daily fix of Lovebites. A fair warning. Diving in to the Japanese hardrock/metal/punk scene is addictive. For Lovebites, and for most Japanese bands, choose their live videos. BUT. Music videos from Lovebites, When Destinies Align, Glory to teh world, Winds of Transylvania. Other bands from Japan? Babymetal / Headbanger, Band-Maid / Freedom (live), Aldious / We are, Doll$Boxx / Take my chance, Unlucky Morpheus / Black Pentagram, Passcode/ Taking You out, Hanabie /We love Sweets, Liv Moon / The last Savior, Yousei Tekoku / Astral Dogma, Galneryus / Angel of Salvation, Gyze/ Oriental Symphony, oh and there are som bands that started in the 80 that are still live and kicking, Show-Ya ( grandmothers of all all-female bands from Japan) / Eye to Eye, Ningen Isu / Heartless Scat and then we have the iconic "bubblegum pop punk without attitude" Shonen Knife / Like a cat. Here is just a few of all amazing bands from Japan with good startersongs for each of them.
Try Epilogue ( ruclips.net/video/JIAJYBuuKGM/видео.html ) for a different impression of Asami's voice. And the platforms? The dark haired guitarist/pianist at 5'2" is the giant of the band.
LOVEBITES are the GODDESSES of heavy , power , thrash metal ! In 2018 , LOVEBITES won the prestigious Metal Hammer GOLDEN GODS Award for "Best New Band" (London,UK). The winners of the GOLDEN GODS Award in different years and in various categories were such famous bands and musicians,such as : Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Motörhead, Twisted Sister, Ozzy Osbourne, Lemmy Kilmister, Zakk Wylde, Nikki Sixx, Joe Perry, Judas Priest, Anthrax, Slayer, Saxon, Nightwish, Rammstein, Sabaton, Children of Bodom, Arch Enemy (and this is not a complete list).
LOVEBITES is a Japanese female power metal band, formed in 2016 by former Japanese heavy metal band DESTROSE members Miho( bass,backing vocals) and Haruna(drums). The band has successfully performed at various major international rock-festivals many times .In the spring of 2018, LOVEBITES performed on the Japanese leg of the Warped Tour. In August 2018, they performed at Wacken Open Air (Germany), becoming the first Japanese female rock band to perform at the festival. Also in August 2018 they performed on the main stage of Bloodstock Open Air (UK). In 2019, LOVEBITES performed at the Download Festival in both Donington (UK) and Madrid (Spain). Their performance in Donington was named by the festival organizers and Metal Hammer magazine as one of the highlights of the festival! In the same year they performed at the Graspop Metal Meeting (Belgium) and the Summer Sonic Festival (Japan). Unfortunately, the Covid pandemic that began in 2020 prevents LOVEBITES from performing at festivals and forced a drastic reduction of concerts.
LOVEBITES is a phenomenal band, all the ladies are talented musicians! For 5 years they have recorded about 50 songs and all the songs are very good!
🐺Miho - bass, backing vocals (in August 2021 she left the band).
🐺Haruna - drums.
🐺Midori - guitars, backing vocals.
🐺Miyako (Mi-Ya)- guitars, piano, keyboards, backing vocals.
🐺Asami - lead vocals, piano.
All songs LOVEBITES are written in English. Unlike other metal bands, LOVEBITES are always on stage in white dresses . White dresses are their style. Many people, having seen them on stage, say that in white dresses they look like Greek Goddesses playing metal !
The Wolf is the mascot of LOVEBITES and is featured on all band's albums except the first EP "The Lovebites". The band's fans call themselves the 🐺Wolfpack🐺.
Damn...Lovebites ( Queens of Heavy Metal)...soo Good , " Swan Song =Masterpiece " 🔥🔥🔥
Next LoveBites: “Break The Wall” Live
My Lovebites 🏴 🐺 🤘....All Mine!
About Asami (vocalist), watch: "Edge of the World" (ballad) or "Set the World on fire" (thrash) or "Frozen serenade" (prog) or her cover of Halloween " Eagle fly free", or "Apocalypse" (2021) about the nuclear bombs on Japan or "Rising" or " Dancing with the devil" or what you want about the Lovebites!
To be fair, the band’s name, like their appearance, is deceptive. This band is head and shoulders above anyone else playing today, and when you get a few more songs by them under your belt, you’ll appreciate Asami’s voice a lot more. Personally I think she’s up there with Floor in terms of range, except that she doesn’t attempt anything operatic. Not only is she a fantastic singer she’s a fantastic front woman. They have a 50 song catalogue, no album fillers and are indistinguishable live from studio. Best band in my 62 years on this planet (which means I’m ranking them higher than those many consider legendary. It’s a compliment based on every facet of the band, not just the music. They do what even the greats never even attempted).
Loving this band comes easy 🐺
Here for my daily Lovebites fix 🐺
Bloody Lovebites 🐺 I love'em
No weaknesses in Lovebites..All are amazing artists!
Amazing, incredible...I just can't stop listening to Lovebites.
You were expecting something like Babymetal but you've never actually listened to Babymetal? I think you might possibly have some preconceptions here. When you slip out of your comfort zone I think you'll find that Japanese women are currently leading the world in hard rock and heavy metal. Babymetal and Lovebites are the tip of a very big iceberg.
That is 100% fair, I based a lot of that expectation on the name and haven't actually given them a chance. I try to be open-minded about music, but it is clear that I still need to improve.
Very well put Michaela. Adam mentioned "some Asian representation" 😆, oh little do they know!
@@MacyandAdamReact If you want to explore Japanese rock, Japan has had an active all-girl metal scene since at least 1981. This is a starter list of all-female (or in eight cases, mixed gender) metal, punk, hard-rock and post-rock bands, with founding dates where I know them. It's alphabetical, except for the first three, which are at the top of the list for historical reasons. They set the table for the explosion of Japanese female hard-rock, punk and metal bands. Note: I have tried to pick clips that are reactor-friendly because they are high quality and are representative of the band's style.
You are likely to get suggestions mainly for Band-Maid, Babymetal, Lovebites, Nemophila, Unlucky Morpheus and Wagakki Band. You can’t go wrong with any of those, but I hope you will find time to check out more of the bands on this list. They are all worth the time and deserve the love, and many will really surprise you. My personal favorites include Asterism, Bridear, Doll$Boxx, existTtrace, Hagane, Hanabie, Mary’s Blood, Sokoninaru and Tricot. Ok, the list:

There are many more (others that come to mind are BRATS, Drop’s, Stereopony, Scandal, Princess Princess, which all tend more in the pop direction, and the Bang-Dream projects, which are live groups based on Manga series. And of course, there are other female-fronted Kawaii-metal groups like Ladybaby and Ironbunny, to name the two best-known after Babymetal. If you find others you think belong on this list, please let me know. And if you find a dead link, also please let me know so I can fix the list. Thank you!
LOVEBITES - Swan Song lyrics:
If this was the last day you could live on this earth
Would you still go on, accusing someone for today
It’s better to fail than not do anything at all
It is not the length, but depth of life that counts
Oh brave soldier
Oh gallant warrior
Valor to those who died in battle to Valhalla
Believe what’s in your soul
For death will come to all
You shall rest peacefully in God’s Heaven
Floating lotus
You are so graceful
Saintly and glorious
Till the end of time
Floating lotus
You are so beautiful
Sing me your sweet song
The legend of the swan
If you’ve never hoped, you’ve never been though despair
Ignorance is bliss, it’s easier to not care
You might think it’s meaningless to sacrifice a life
Sometimes the life of one can save so many more
Oh brave soldier
Oh gallant warrior
Valor to those who died in battle to Valhalla
Believe what’s in your soul
For death will come to all
You shall rest peacefully in God’s Heaven
Floating lotus
You are so graceful
Saintly and glorious
Till the end of time
Floating lotus
You are so beautiful
Sing me your sweet song
The legend of the swan
Floating lotus
You are so graceful
Saintly and glorious
Till the end of time
Floating lotus
You are so beautiful
Sing me your sweet song
The legend of the swan

lyrics: asami
music: miyako
arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami)
Asami for me is superior to any other female singer, there are no weak parts here.
Please, continue with LOVEBITES and you will see why they are the best heavy metal band today.
Asami ❤️👑
Long Live LOVEBITES! 🐺🤘
Miho💜 Thank you 💜
Asami and Yuko Suzuhana are my two favorite female singers.
I always consider Asami in the Bruce Dickinson bracket of vocalists. I wouldn't try to compare Bruce with Floor.
Asami is superior because such singers as Nightwish, Evanescence and Within Temptation have all the same problem, they are failed opera singers and their voices don't match at all with metal, I've always hated that sound from their mouth. Asami sings straight, like any regular singer, with a powerful voice.
If you want to compare Asami to Floor check out Lovebites Edge of the World ruclips.net/video/UZjxMjBop7w/видео.html you'll be amazed she holds one note at the beginning of this ballad and her original genre before she joined Lovebites was R&B music.
and Epilogue ruclips.net/video/JIAJYBuuKGM/видео.html. Asami is so soulful. She is just different from Floor even if Floor is a perfect singer for you. This band plays another type of music although Nightwish is a good band as well, not to be compared.
@@gatograto I was never into Floor. I LOVE Asami. I stopped listening to Nightwish when Tarja left. I liked Tarja in Nightwish. You already know my other favorite singer is Yuko Suzuhana! ☺
@@TheCyberMantis Yes, Yuko is a great singer, a pianist, a dancer, a great performer in total. She is so talented and very pretty as well.
Also in their cover of Painkiller of Judas Priest, she holds the final note for 9 seconds more Rob!
@@13uomini Oh! Absolutely yes!! I was thinking of that too. She well matches Rob, and the last sustain in Eagle Fly Free Helloween cover.
Asami the vocalist is one of the best worldwide this band hasn"t any weakest parts. Ladies are complete.
🐺🤘 LOVEBITES 🤘🐺 the team of five thrashpower metal godesses.
"We're not here to be cute, we're here to be heavy"
Asami🎤 R&B, jazz, soul, metal, rock singer, lyrics, (only English all songs one is exeption in Japanesse language) she trained ballet.
Haruna 🥁⭐one of the best drummer worldwide, founder, (PEARL drums)
Miho🎸 ex_bass guitar player and boss of the band, lyrics, founder, back singer, (ESP_AMAZE guitar) now Ladies search new bassist
Midori🎸 lead, rythm guitar, spanish guitar, back singer, (ESP guitar)
Miyako🎸 lead, rythm guitar, spanish guitar, piano, keybord, back singer, main composer but all Ladies compose. (DEAN guitar, GIBSON guitar) classic influences, piano virtuoso

"WE ARE LOVEBITES AND WE PLAY HEAVYYYY METAAAAL!!!"
Stay safe. Stay Lovebites.
Funny thing about "anime-ish" is that they do almost one anime song opening, requested by the director of the anime series "Vlad-Love" calles "Winds of Transilvania"
A really hard and fast metal theme.
Baby Metal doesn't play the instruments they just sing
Yes Kami band are heroes of music at the background, Baby Metal are front women.
Welcome to the world of phenomena heavy metal band of Lovebites. More amazing songs of them to try out. Dig more 👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘
Asami is a wonderful singer,❤❤❤🤘🐺
welcome to the Wolfpack today you have been Lovebitten here is another great song Lovebites Holy War ruclips.net/video/bgAxpEpEcno/видео.html
With her eyes closed!!! Miyako plays piano with her eyes closed. She's a classical trained pianist since the of three. Miyako taught herself to play the guitar, no lessons. She also writes most of their music. Miyako also plays a pretty mean bass and a little drums. Watch "Burden of Time" live studio version. Miyako plays the keyboard and guitar at the same time. In this video she opens with Chopin. Watch "Empty Daydream" live 2019, where she opens with Rachmaninov and switches over to the guitar.
The common point between the group you mentioned and LOVEBITES.
Like NIGHTWISH, the sound sources of LOVEBITES are mixed and mastered by Mikko Karmila and Mika Jussila from Finland respectively.
At the offer of Herman Li, they are accompanying the "Dragon Force UK Tour 2019" as a support act and are deepening their friendship.
And the common point with BABYMETAL is that they are the same Japanese women.
BABYMETAL is a band created from the project of a TV program called "Fusion of Idol and Heavy Metal", and is a very different existence even in Japan.
Thanks for your reaction and welcome to the Wolfpack!! 🐺🤘🏻 Lovebites are the evolution of 80s/90s metal and they are all top notch in their game.
Asami is originally an R&B singer, now she sings 10x faster than before. Floor is probably the best metal singer of the world, but even she would have hard time singing that fast.
If you want experience Asami’s voice better, I suggest “Edge of the World” m.ruclips.net/video/UZjxMjBop7w/видео.html
I agree with you. If Adam likes NIGHTWISH, then it's hard for him to immediately appreciate and love Asami's voice. Singers Floor Jansen and Tarja Turunen have a different style of singing (symphonic metal) Asami - it's mostly thrash, power, speed metal. Different genres. I join your advice to make a reaction to the song “Edge of the World”
Thanks for the suggestion, we will definitely check this out and more of their other songs too!
🤘🐺🤘🎤👸 *Asami* 💖🔥🤘Five of a Kind📀128min🤩19songs🤘
LOL I knew it was Andy Helms before you said it
I thought so too.😊 Thanks to Andy Helms for advising Macy and Adam to react to LOVEBITES
Lol, so did I.
Andy Helms does a great job for LOVEBITES!😀👍
I know right, on patreon maybe? I try my darnest to get YTers to do Lovebites reacts but certainly can't afford to pay for it.
No need to pay with us, we do have a Patreon but it doesn't have any activity yet, Andy made his requests on our Nightwish reaction videos. We try to listen to anything that gets requested, it just takes us some time to get to them sometimes.
Great reaction guys! You don't know it yet but you just witnessed one of the best metal bands in present time. You just witnessed one of the best guitar players slay the guitar and also murder the piano which is ridiculous. It can't be understated enough how amazing this band is if you know you're music. These girls are at the top of their genre in my opinion and I welcome any challenge to that.
Next live songs, Set The World On Fire, Glory To The World, Break The Wall, When Destinies Align, Scream For Me, Raise Some Hell, intro songs with piano Edge Of The World, Empty Day Dream,
All Japanese female Metal Bands, LOVEBITES, NEMOPHILA, BAND-MAID, HANABIE, TRIDENT-JAPAN, MARY'S BLOOD, SCANDAL, DOLL$BOX, ASTERISM(female guitarist) will make your jaw dropped, check them out guys...
Thank you for reacting to Lovebites. Check out their song Frozen Serenade ruclips.net/video/Ae8pQVu-RN8/видео.html
WELCOME TO THE WOLFPACK your gonna be in a big surprise for what these ladies can perform...🤘🤘🤘🤘🐺🐺🐺🐺🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
They are the Alpha of the Wolfpack...
🤘🤘🐺🐺🤘🤘...
Welcome to the Wolfpack guys...
There are 200+ Rock/Metal bands in Japan, over half all female!!!
Miyako (piano, guitar) composed and arranged the music, lyrics were written by Asami (vocals). Miyako began piano at 3yo, picking up the guitar at 17/18. Self-taught, no lessons!!
Talent is recognized early in Japan and there is the infrastructure of schools, talent agencies, etc. for vocals, dance, musical instrument education. Many beginning as young as 6 yo in vocals and dance. Example - Babymetal.
Note Babymetal is the most popular and famous Japanese band in the world.
Next Lovebites - "Set the World on Fire" tour de force for Asami.
Other Bands - Nemophila - "Monsters" & "Dissension"; performed at the Whiskey a Go Go on 1 July and will be performing at the AfterShock Music festival, Sacramento in October.
Band Maid - "Freedom" and "Domination" both live. Considered by many to be the best Rock in the world!! They will also be performing at AfterShock in October, then going on their US Tour, 13 cities with most sold-out. Note Band Maid has been touring the US since 2016.
All are All Female bands!!!
Thank you Andy Helms for your persistence. And Macy and Adam, you have just discovered the best new metal band to come along in decades. In their five years of existence as a band, they set a standard that easily puts them on a par with the greatest bands of metal’s golden age. Other reviewers have described them as alien superheroes disguised as young women, angels sent to save us, princesses of metal, and angry bridesmaids. Whatever the description, I think one can say they have given metal a badly needed makeover and maybe a new lease on life. They have themselves said that part of their mission is to save heavy metal from darkness and obscurity. Some background:
They were formed in 2016 from the remnants of a legendary all-girl Japanese metal band called Destrose (yes, all-girl metal has been a thing in Japan since at least 1981). Miho (bass, chief headbanger and soul of the band) had a vision of a new band in the style of the greatest European bands of the golden age of metal. She recruited her former bandmate Haruna (drums, 4'9" “pocket nuclear reactor”); they needed two world-class guitarists, and so they went and found Midori and Miyako, who were with other bands. The whole group then found Asami, the singer, who was doing soul and blues at the time (she also trained in ballet). Miyako has composed most of their music, with Miho composing a lot of their thrashier songs in collaboration with Mao, the lead composer of another band called Lightbringer. Midori has also been getting into the act, and they regularly perform a song written by Haruna as well. Asami writes most of the lyrics.
As you are witnessing, Miyako is also a professional-level concert pianist. She was headed for a career in classical music, before picking up the guitar. She wrote “Swan Song” using elements from several classical pieces including Chopin's "Revolutionary Etude", which she also used in the intro.
Lovebites studied all the great historical metal bands going back to Purple and Sabbath, through Maiden, Priest, Metallica, Helloween, Slayer etc. They toured with Dragonforce in 2019, and word from those in attendance is that next time around, it will be the ladies headlining. They have incorporated some of the best of each of those bands into their arsenal, and have created a sound that is fresh and cutting edge while paying tribute to the old masters.
They do everything from soulful power ballads to heavy thrash. Almost every song includes face-melting solos by Miyako and Midori. The two guitarists are quite different in style and tone. Midori (blonde ponytail) is the extrovert and speed demon; Miyako is the introvert, with the more soulful feel (though she can also shred like a demon). Midori uses a cleaner tone, Miyako uses more distortion, pinch harmonics and pedal effects. The contrast makes their duets rich and dynamic. It doesn’t hurt that either one can smoke most of the shredders in the classic metal bands. As another reviewer said, "It seems criminal these two are allowed to be in the same band." Here are more clips you should check out:
Their most recently posted live clips, “Set the World on Fire” ruclips.net/video/99zsH6iG_6c/видео.html and “Don’t Bite the Dust” ruclips.net/video/oHnKGEj1CMc/видео.html, which are both from their recently released concert DVD “Heavy Metal Never Dies”.
"Edge of the World" and "We the United", back to back: ruclips.net/video/sl0-U-ykJCU/видео.html They form an incredible journey from darkness and despair to light and hope.
Also, “Empty Daydream”, which starts as a ballad and becomes a real rocker: ruclips.net/video/lXh_uMM94jU/видео.html;
“Holy War”: ruclips.net/video/bgAxpEpEcno/видео.html
For a thrasher with heavy Slayer and Metallica vibes, “Break the Wall” ruclips.net/video/G021aP2ao6Y/видео.html includes two gorgeous and completely contrasting solos by M&M.
For a heart-stopping ballad, “Epilogue” ruclips.net/video/1ynnXDfEnnY/видео.html (this includes a second song, your choice whether or not to react to both)
Finally, while you will sometimes hear you should only react to live clips, actually their MV’s are epic and worth seeing. Here are four of the most spectacular:
"Shadowmaker" ruclips.net/video/Brmoln5Gxus/видео.html This is the song that blew up and melted faces all over the world
"When Destinies Align" ruclips.net/video/hLFelI93VkM/видео.html
"Glory to the World" ruclips.net/video/-wJtD2XEXH4/видео.html
"Winds of Transylvania" ruclips.net/video/HsE4Ub_Pjh8/видео.html.
You'll get lots of suggestions, just one thing: don't bother with Bloodstock footage, the sound quality is poor. Best to take suggestions with actual links. Also, you can’t go wrong with any of their official clips. Welcome to the Wolf-Pack!
Doesn't get any better than Lovebites, best metal band period! You have much more to go, they are talented AF, next level. The drummer is 4' 9" to put it in perspective. They do thrash, power, progressive and ballads. You need to check out Holy War live ruclips.net/video/bgAxpEpEcno/видео.html. Lovebites toured with Dragonforce. 🐺
Best band hm nowadays!!!
welcome to the world of Lovebites the world of beautiful heavy, power, speed, thrash metal
That was a good reaction. Now Japan is a homeland of the heavy metal. Japanese band has such classical metal sound. You should check out more songs.
The vocalist Asami has a very powerful voice. You can check it by listening more to Lovebites.
Of course you should listen to their songs "Holy war" and "Set the world on fire". You will be impressed.
Thank you for your reaction.
Lovebites are truly special and seem to have been a hidden gem inside the Asian world. It’s great that they’re being discovered and appreciated by the western world. I would encourage you to listen to more Lovebites because you’ll discover how fast they grow on you. Since you focused on the lead singer, Asami, I think you might really enjoy seeing a fuller side of her broad talent. Following is a link to their performance of Empty Daydream where Asami gives a very short, sweet, and heartfelt introduction to their song. This lets you hear her natural voice prior to the coming song. I would really be interested in your analysis after you view this masterpiece ruclips.net/video/NTawLj-bEOM/видео.html
Thank you for your reaction! 👏I liked the reaction, just a small clarification😊 In the name of the reaction (under the video) you indicated only "Swan Song". "Etude" by F. Chopin is a separate piece of music. "Etude" & "Swan Song" would be more correct. This is not criticism, this is advice🤗.
1. "Etude Op.10, No.12" by the great Polish composer Frederic Chopin, which was written in 1831 and is dedicated to the Polish patriots who raised an uprising (1830-1831) against the Russian Empire, whose troops occupied Poland;
2. "Swan song" ( lyrics - Asami , music -Miyako) from the third album LOVEBITES "Electric Pentagram" (2020).
"Etude" by F. Chopin and "Swan Song" are dedicated to the soldiers who died in battle. Therefore, at the concert, "Etude" and "Swan Song" are played together.
For many centuries (starting from Ancient Greece) there is a legend, according to which swans, non-singing, "silent" birds, acquire a voice a few moments before death, and this dying singing of swans is amazingly beautiful.
During the final part (piano Miyako), symbolizing the death of the swan, Asami (a former ballerina, studied classical ballet for about 16 years before becoming a singer) depicts a dying swan on stage as in P. Tchaikovsky's famous ballet "Swan Lake". Since the camera at the end of the song is focused on Miyako, Asami's "death of the swan" did not frame.
Wow thank you for these info, we are learning so much. It's a really interesting band, glad someone suggested this to us! Thanks!
@@MacyandAdventures I was glad to share the information with you.😊 Pay more attention to LOVEBITES and they will surprise you even more. At the moment, LOVEBITES is, without exaggeration, one of the best metal bands in the world. Thanks for the reaction!
this is what you might call one of their more operatic metal ballads - kinda. they more often than not go very hard with power and thrash. to really get a full appreciation of vocalist asami's range you need to check out either 'holy war' or 'set the world on fire' live for which i will leave the link. they play everything under the sun to perfection. this song showcases the whole band but especially the 2 guitarists midori and miyako. ruclips.net/video/99zsH6iG_6c/видео.html
Welcomed to the mind-blowing world of Lovebites. These women are extremely talented, skillful and versatile exceptional musicians. They really shine in their live performances. Asami was a R&B, jazz, soul singer before she joined Lovebites. Those twin lead guitar solos by Midori and Miyako are already legendary, in just six years. Miyako is also a concert level pianist. I see no reason trying to compare Floor vs Asami; to me, Floor is perfect for Nightwish and Asami is perfect for Lovebites. If you want to appreciate Asami’s vocals, try “Empty daydream”, “Epilogue”, “Edge of the world” or “Dancing with the devil” (all live)
No band better IMO. 50 years of listening to metal, and Lovebites for me is on top.
Japanese or Western, female or a male, young or old, they are each some of the best musicians and vocalists out there right now..
LOVEBITES - Swan Song lyrics (Filipino):
Kung ito ang huling araw na maaari kang mabuhay sa mundong ito
Mundo na nagpatuloy ka pa rin, na nag-aakusa ng isang tao para sa araw na ito
Mas mahusay na mabibigo kaysa hindi gumawa ng anuman
Hindi ang haba, ngunit ang lalim ng buhay ang mahalaga
Oh matapang na sundalo
Oh galanteng mandirigma
Katapangan sa mga namatay sa labanan kay Valhalla
Maniwala ka kung ano ang nasa kaluluwa mo
Para sa kamatayan ay darating sa lahat
Magpapahinga ka ng mapayapa sa Langit ng Diyos
Lumulutang na lotus
Napakabait mo
Banal at maluwalhati
Hanggang sa katapusan ng oras
Lumulutang na lotus
Napakaganda mo
Kantahan mo ako ng sweet song mo
Ang alamat ng sisne
Kung hindi mo kailanman inaasahan, hindi ka pa nawawalan ng pag-asa
Ang kamangmangan ay lubos na kaligayahan, mas madaling walang pakialam
Maaari mong isipin na walang kahulugan ang pagsakripisyo ng isang buhay
Minsan ang buhay ng isa ay maaaring makatipid ng marami pang iba
Oh matapang na sundalo
Oh galanteng mandirigma
Katapangan sa mga namatay sa labanan kay Valhalla
Maniwala ka kung ano ang nasa kaluluwa mo
Para sa kamatayan ay darating sa lahat
Magpapahinga ka ng mapayapa sa Langit ng Diyos
Lumulutang na lotus
Ikaw naman eh kaaya-aya
Banal at maluwalhati
Hanggang sa katapusan ng oras
Lumulutang na lotus
Napakaganda mo
Kantahan mo ako ng sweet song mo
Ang alamat ng sisne
Lumulutang na lotus
Napakabait mo
Banal at maluwalhati
Hanggang sa katapusan ng oras
Lumulutang na lotus
Napakaganda mo
Kantahan mo ako ng sweet song mo
Ang alamat ng sisne

The white clothes: Lovebites women say: "We wear these clothes because we are women and because we don't want to look like 90% of metal bands in the last 35 years".
Lovebites surprises you because they are the only Japanese band with a Western sound and one of the few Japanese bands who sing in English. Comparing anyone to Floor is impossible because Floor is the best female singer of all time. You need to do more Lovebites because they will blow you away in each song. Now do Set the World on Fire next, the live version.
Sorry, disagree. Floor maybe the best Metal singer (but Asami comes really close) but there are much better singers in other genres. I am thinking about Beth Hart, Angelina Jordan and even Diana Ankudinova.
Floor is a good vocalist. But you don't even have to go far, Tarja is incomparably better. This does not mean Tarja of the Nightwish era, then she was a novice singer and was just learning vocals, but her solo career. Extensive discography (5 LPs and many EPs) and 6 live shows on blu-ray, 4 of them rock metal and 2 classical. And everyone is very good. By the way, Tarja's solo work is similar to Lovebites in terms of genre diversity and classical background, because she is a classically trained singer and composes and arranges her own music. As a vocalist, Floor is not even close to Tarja's level. This is very easy to see for yourself, just listen.
@@dymyavalor6135 Agree 100%
@@dymyavalor6135 I was at the concert of Tarja Turunen when she came to our city. At the end of the concert, I managed to squeeze closer to the stage, I saw Tarja at a distance of 5-6 meters. It seemed to me that she was also short (although she was wearing high heels). But her voice!!!! 💥All the same, she has a classical opera education, if I remember correctly. I like Nightwish with Tarja, I like Nightwish with Floor. I don't think they should be compared. Both are world class singers.
P.S. I'm sorry, but I wouldn't call Tarja an aspiring singer when she was in Nightwish. Perhaps the first 2-3 years?! Although, Tarja came to Nightwish already having experience: as a child, she sang in the church choir, graduated from the music department of the gymnasium, and studied at the Music Academy. "Tarja's Era" lasted 9 years, she left Nightwish in 2005 with a lot of experience.
@@GrayFox14 In 2005, Tarja completed her studies at the Hochschule für Musik Karlsruhe, where she received her second higher musical education and left Nightwish. She announced that she was leaving back in 2002, but she was persuaded to stay. During her solo career, Tarja developed her own unique rock metal vocal technique, something in the style of Peter Gabriel (her idol) only with the strength and power of academic vocals. And in good quality, it sounds just great. There is no such thing in the world anymore. Musically, it's hard rock, heavy metal, progressive, ballads - all with a classic background. Not only outstanding vocals, but also very varied and interesting music performed with good professional musicians. I'm not interested in Nightwish at all, very weak musicians (except for vocals and a new drummer) and simple uninteresting music, something like symphonic pop metal.
Andy's the man, he has turned more reactors on too LoveBites, probably more than anyone else? ❤️🎙🎸🎹🥁😎👌P.S. The all Female Rock & Metal scene in Japan is most definitely.....A Thing, with a huge fan base !!!
The fact that a lot of reactors have paid attention to LOVEBITES thanks to Andy Helms is 100%.😊
Hahaha, have you tried Japanese female rock/metal guitarists?
Baby metal isn't really a female metal band, the only girls are the singers basically
Nice reaction ,but you have to listen to more japanise all female hard rock and metal band witch are all fantastic Nemophila, Band Maid,Hanabie,Hagane,Cross Vein and many more. Japan is at the moment the best place for that kind of music😁 These band are all top musicans many classic educatidet and have theire typical style. Much more interesteing then the always "same" things you hear in western Rock and Metal music.Hope you try some of theme 😀
Thanks, we'll check them out!
Just here for the daily fix of Lovebites. A fair warning. Diving in to the Japanese hardrock/metal/punk scene is addictive. For Lovebites, and for most Japanese bands, choose their live videos. BUT. Music videos from Lovebites, When Destinies Align, Glory to teh world, Winds of Transylvania. Other bands from Japan? Babymetal / Headbanger, Band-Maid / Freedom (live), Aldious / We are, Doll$Boxx / Take my chance, Unlucky Morpheus / Black Pentagram, Passcode/ Taking You out, Hanabie /We love Sweets, Liv Moon / The last Savior, Yousei Tekoku / Astral Dogma, Galneryus / Angel of Salvation, Gyze/ Oriental Symphony, oh and there are som bands that started in the 80 that are still live and kicking, Show-Ya ( grandmothers of all all-female bands from Japan) / Eye to Eye, Ningen Isu / Heartless Scat and then we have the iconic "bubblegum pop punk without attitude" Shonen Knife / Like a cat. Here is just a few of all amazing bands from Japan with good startersongs for each of them.
💖💖💖💖💖🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
You've never heard BABYMETAL? Well, you have to :)
Have you seen 【 JUNNA 】Through The Fire And Flames / DragonForce - Drum Cover ruclips.net/video/UKr1H4Jv6is/видео.html
Asami is Great .., Saiki from BAND-MAID is also a killer ... Floor is the Valkyrie Queen of all SISTREN! 🥰
Try Epilogue ( ruclips.net/video/JIAJYBuuKGM/видео.html ) for a different impression of Asami's voice. And the platforms? The dark haired guitarist/pianist at 5'2" is the giant of the band.
