    LOVEBITES - Shadowmaker lyrics:
    Caught in the noise, my thoughts are destroyed
    Trapped in the silence, it's so hard to breathe
    But still I go on, my hunger is strong
    Hoping that someone will grab my hand
    Stranded by moonlight I realize the cold of this world
    Maybe it's too late?
    No one can save me
    From all of the darkness and solitude
    Cry, like shadows of the night
    I carry all the pain inside to justify why I'm alive
    Despite going through this hell
    Cause still my heart has hope
    No matter if I'm torn apart, I'll play my part
    Before I drown with secret thoughts of my heart
    Reckless and fast, how long will I last?
    Dancing like puppets, I'm empty inside
    Fighting the fear, and grieving the dear
    Hoping that someday I'll be repaid
    Only my echoing heartbeats can prove that I'm here
    Am I all alone?
    Even a faint light is too bright for me, I can't see a thing
    Hide, in shadows I reside
    I tremble like a heartless soul, no place to go
    In desolated land knowing no escape
    But still I wish to live
    Just waiting for a somebody to notice me
    Before I fall down to depths of the abyss
    SOLO: midori / mi-ya / both / miya
    Caught in the noise, my thoughts are destroyed
    Trapped in the silence, it's so hard to breathe
    But still I go on, my hunger is strong
    Hoping that someone will grab my hand
    Stranded by moonlight I realize the cold of this world
    Maybe it's too late?
    No one can save me from solitude
    Cry, like shadows of the night
    I tremble like a heartless soul, no place to go
    In desolated land knowing no escape
    But still I wish to live
    Just waiting for a somebody to notice me
    Before I fall down to depths of the abyss
    Like shadows of the night
    I carry all the pain inside to justify why I'm alive
    Despite going through this hell
    Cause still my heart has hope
    No matter if I'm torn apart, I'll play my part
    Before I drown with secret thoughts of my heart

    On 17 August 2021, LOVEBITES took an extended break after the departure of their leader, bassist Miho.
    The remaining girls organised an audition for a new bassist from around the world and recruited a new bassist called Fami(Ba).
    Fami is a five-string bassist who can dance, sing and play and has 695,000 RUclips subscribers.
    You will be amazed by new bassist Fami's slapping and fast finger picking. If you watch "Alien Alien" on her RUclips channel, which was uploaded 4 years ago with 11,240,000 listens on her content, you will be amazed at her world-class slapping skills.

    Hi, one of the lucky 350 here, going to be at the New Cross on the 14th next month. Lovebites are the first band I've been going to London for in very many years. I had rather lost interest in the rock/metal scene. What I was hearing from newer bands just wasn't what I liked. If I did go to see a band, it most likely would be an old favourite, such as Hawkwind, playing local to me. I have seen a few anti comments about Lovebites because their music is solidly rooted in the 70's and 80's British and European bands, but I am not ashamed to say that this is why I like them. They remind me of seeing the likes of Iron Maiden, Saxon, Judas Priest etc (although much better looking lol)They have given this 74 year old a new lease of life and sent me into the world of Japanese rock and metal, not forgetting Mexico as well, in the shape of The Warning. Thanks ladies, I'm in your debt. 😃🤘🐺

      I agree!!! Don't get me wrong, The New Cross Inn, in London is a great little venue and the sound is usually excellent in there. But Lovebites will collapse the ceilings when they play there! 100% they could have played a larger venue. I know quite a lot of people who wanted tix but couldn't because it sold out so quickly. Common sense would have said to the agent/manager "Maybe we should upgrade the venue?"

      But in full honesty (and nothing to do with my previous statement), I do feel like Japanese bands overall (not specifically metal ones) are very "industrialized" and totally unnatural.
      Not that many of the US or European bands aren't (i.e. all of the pop music), but everything is much more precise, engineered and tailored when it comes to Japanese music industry. As if the Japanese are much more serious and take it to the next level. Almost AI scripted in a way.
