I've been listening to metal for 5 decades - Slayer, Priest, Maiden, Metallica, Testament, Anthrax, etc. and all are awesome, but sometimes they miss with a track or even an album. I have some favorites with Lovebites, but they just don't miss overall - they don't have any songs I would not listen to over & over. They are just incredible. If they played in the 80's/90's they would likley be considered 1 of the top 3-4 metal bands of all time (I believe they are the best). Lovebites could cover anything those bands put out, but I would love to see them try to cover a Lovebites track. SMH. Dive deeper, they just get more impressive.
You have the expression we all had when we saw them for the first time.........and I'm glad to see metalheads react on what they saw.....your opinion means more to me......keep on with Lovebites and you won't miss......
Congratulations. Nobody expects what they hear when they first see LOVEBITES. Filmed during Covid (hence clapping…no cheering, go figure). The Dimebag guitarist was 4/5 months pregnant (after the original dates were delayed). You won’t hear a single weak song from LOVEBITES, everything they write they can reproduce live (or they don’t record it). I’m 64 and this is the best band I have ever seen and heard.
Wow!!! Crazy !!!! We were not expecting them to sound like this at all!!! Truly talented band!!!! We were blown away!!! Thank you for the info you shared with us!!! We definitely will check out more songs by them !!!
Welcome to the 8th Wonder of the World: Lovebites!!! Just some info: Any videos or music from 2021 or earlier is with Miho as the bass player and co-founder. This concert, which is great, lacks a bit of energy due to COVID restrictions (In my opinion). Their stage set up is awesome, but the crowd is held back. Also, Miyako on screen right is playing 4 months pregnant. The previous show, Five of a kind from 2020, is a Awesome concert. They show no stopping from beginning to end and with the crowd, the show is even better. After Miho left in 2021, the band took some time off and Fami became the new bass player and they dropped a new album, Judgement Day in December of 2022. They came out with a two day show called Knocken at Heavens Gate to show off Fami and the excitement from the band being on stage to the crowd was electric. They released 8 songs from it and they show various styles of play. Hammer of Wrath was the opening song. Songs from the new album are Judgement Day and Stand and Deliver (Shoot em Down). These gals are awesome in every way. Enjoy your journey with them!!!!
LOVEBITES. They are listened not only by metalheads. Ladies came out of their metal genre and have wider spectrum of fans. They play Eclectic Metal. It means they blend as the first band in history all kind of metal mainly power and thrash with NWOBHM, heavy metal, symphonic metal, speed metal,hair metal, hard rock, rock, rock'n'roll, jazz, progressive pieces, funk and even punk. They mix all with classical music using operatic, R&B, soul and gospel skills of vocalist and grand piano and Spanish guitar skills playing. Sometimes they use typical Japanese melodic lines which are included in ENKAs_ melancholy ballads singing by Japanese women. Only their can do it. Obviously they draw a lot from British, German and American metal. All this makes their style unique. 🐺🤘LOVEBITES 🤘🐺 the team of five thrashpower metal goddesses from Japan_Tokyo.

LOVEBITES is a five-piece all-female, Japanese heavy metal band with deep musicianship (plus classical music/piano background). They transcend gender, genre, and geography, with some 60 songs in their discography. They won Metal Hammer Golden Gods Award for Best New Band (2018), toured with Dragonforce (2019), first female Japanese band to perform at Wacken Open Air (Germany) and others in Europe, and are unusual among Japanese bands in choosing to sing in English plus good lyrics (a daunting task for native Japanese speakers). They play a variety of heavy metal styles and are heavily influenced by NWBHM, especially Iron Maiden and the "big four" thrash metal bands. Their live performances are best: Their 4th STUDIO ALBUM, 2023 (Judgement Day; highly acclaimed (wiki), Guitar Solos galore): Judgement Day (music video) from their latest album, 2023 (power-thrash-symphonic metal): ruclips.net/video/m3uGjp-P7DI/видео.html ; Stand and Deliver (music video) ruclips.net/video/4ImGA7cPyrs/видео.html SHOW OPENERS: Thunder Vengeance (thrash - show opener): ruclips.net/video/yWE7PqCpGi4/видео.html ; The Hammer of Wrath: ruclips.net/video/pHrWRT0Jeac/видео.html. However, this This is their first song from their very first album, 2017, but also the first with their new bassist. The previous live version of this song Awakening/The Hammer of Wrath is equally superb. RANGE OF METAL GENRES: When Destinies Align (power metal with insane solos), this is live ruclips.net/video/e48OwGcT3Bo/видео.html, the music video is also worth watching. Shadowmaker (thrash/symphonic with insane solos): ruclips.net/video/wmAKRiG89Qc/видео.html Break the Wall (thrash): ruclips.net/video/5Pc0XK0lNmU/видео.html Set The World on Fire (thrash metal): ruclips.net/video/99zsH6iG_6c/видео.html ; Edge of the World (ballad with Gary Moore inspired solo): ruclips.net/video/UZjxMjBop7w/видео.html Epilogue (ending with flashes of Hotel California/Jimi Hendricks): ruclips.net/video/1ynnXDfEnnY/видео.html TWO UNIQUE MASTERPIECE PERFORMANCES: The two songs below represent two exceptional performances that perhaps no other band can perform live: Swan Song (with Chopin classical piano intro) ruclips.net/video/dcMVtrvpJpk/видео.html ; Frozen Serenade: ruclips.net/video/Ae8pQVu-RN8/видео.html CLASSICAL PIANO EP covers/arrangements of Heavy Metal Songs: Interestingly, one of their lead guitarist (Miyako) just released a classical piano EP that covers Metallica (Battery), Gary Moore (The Loner), Yngwie Malmsteen (Far Beyond The Sun), Helloween (Eagle Fly Free), and Deep Purple (Burn)
Welcome to the realm of the Wolfpack (Lovebites fans from around the world) ! These amazing ladies play a seamless and innovative blend of speed-power/thrash/prog/neoclassical metal/heavy rock/power ballads which makes their sound unique and contemporary. Note that this specific concert back in 2021 was COVID restricted and the audience was only allowed to clap. As you have just experienced, this band is phenomenal LIVE ! For something not as thrashy, check out "Judgement Day" LIVE on their official YT channel. Enjoy your Lovebites journey !

You just discovered the Metal Queens. A great discography of theirs to discover. Japan is filled with great rock/metal bands yet to discover as well, many all female.
Welcome to Lovebites' Kingdom. And now: Break the wall, Hammer of wrath, Judgment day, Raise some hell, Stand and deliver, When destinies allign, Winds of Transylvania, Thunder vengeance, Holy war, and so on...
@@metalislyfe You seemed worried at first, like you thought it might turn out bad. Here are two more Lovebites songs to check out: Judgement Day and A Frozen Serenade.
I think a reasonable case can be made that they are in the top three most musically talented metal bands on earth, alongside Dream Theater and Symphony-X.
welcome to the world of Lovebites the world of beautiful ballads, heavy, power, speed, thrash metal. I recommend you check out their entire discography, including live videos, music videos and audio tracks. You'll be blown away! With around 60 tracks to discover, I'm willing to bet you'll be a fan of this band. I myself have come to the conclusion that nothing has ever been better.
excellent reaction , thank you , congratulations on the first listen you realized how incredible these women are, metal + grace + elegance + beauty + sympathy + great musicians + great songs = LOVEBITES !!!
That's the best metal band in the world right there! No one I know of can match what they can do. They're amazing. You have no idea! I recommend anything live by them. You'll probably see a few things in comments. Some is on their official channel, but many others are on other channels. Welcome to the Wolfpack! I subscribed, in the hopes that you check out some more.
This song was composed by Miyako, the dark-haired guitarist. She has written over 40 of their songs. She is a classically trained pianist and taught herself to play guitar when she was 18.
The Wolfpack Salute you¡¡ Lovebites are: Asami: vocals (she is also a dancer) Rossana Miho: Bass (in this video, now they have a new bassist: Fami) Midori: Lead guitar (also a body builder competitor in Japan) ESP guitar. Miyako: Lead guitar, composer and pianist (The golden touch) Dean guitar. Haruna: Drums (the little power engine) Very high quality band of Heavy metal right now¡¡ Recommendations: Stand and deliver, When destinies Allign, The Hammer of Wrath, M:D.O, Burden of time, Frozen Serenade...for start..
First reactions are the best when it comes to LOVEBITES because it is totally unexpected and they blow you away. My favorite band. Now do their song Judgement Day!!.
Not bad for 5mos pregnant right...dark-haired guitarist, Miyako, she is metal AF. The drummer, Haruna is 4' 9", Asami, vocalist 4' 10" and can belt with the best of them and I love clean vocals! It only gets better and wait till you see their OTHER side. They can do it all and it's all ELITE / PRECISION musicianship! Welcome to the Queens of Metal, F yeah!!
The first time you see Lovebites, it is a bit of a shock. It takes time for your brain to process what is happening. Fun to see. It happened to all of us, when we discovered this band. This is just a taste of what Lovebites can do. Keep going with more Lovebites. Wolfpack will invade your comments! 😆
My introduction to Lovebites was 'The Winds of Transylvania' which was written by them for an Anime series, Vlad Love. There are two versions on YT, one live and the music video anime version. It was the latter that I saw, I felt I had been hit by a runaway train, three years later I'm still not sure I've recovered 😅 I have been listening to heavy rock and metal for over 50 years, and I feel Lovebites are one of the best bands I've ever heard. I'm going to see them play a gig in London next June 😃
Thrash Metal heaven! With Thrash Metal being my favourite metal subgenre, this is one of my five favourite songs by Lovebites, the other four being "Break the Wall" (live version from 2020), "The Hammer of Wrath", "Dissonance" and "Soldier Stands Solitarily" (the latter is Power Metal, though), but there are at least another 10 Lovebites-songs I like about as much and so far none I don't like. I don't see any other band doing the same range of different "old school" metal genres (still waiting for their first Doom Metal song, though) and playing on the same level as they do. Looking forward to finally seeing them live in Belgium and Germany in June!
Welcome to LOVEBITES 🤘🏼🐺🔥 Here some information about them: The band was formed in 2016 by original bassist Miho and drummer Haruna. Their first EP and album came out in 2017. So far LOVEBITES have released 4 albums, some Singles/EPs and also a bunch of DVD/Blu-ray live recordings. Back in 2018/2019 LOVEBITES have already toured in Europe, including appearances at the major metal festivals as Wacken, Download, Bloodstock, Graspop. In 2018 they also won the Metal Hammer UK Golden Gods Award for best new band. Then came covid, their original bass player and founder Miho quit the band for personal reasons and two babies were born. After a break LOVEBITES came back with new bassist Fami and new song „Judgement Day“ in late 2022. A new album with the same title came out in February 2023. This year in June LOVEBITES‘ first world tour starts in Europe. In September they will play their biggest headline show ever in Tokyo. After that LOVEBITES will have their US debut … The band members of LOVEBITES are (including their official nicknames) Asami on vocals (the one and only voice): She has an amazing vocal range and vibrato, writes most of the lyrics, also did parts of the song writing for their latest 2 albums, she is a former ballerina and RnB/soul singer Miyako on guitars, piano, keyboards (the golden touch): She is the musical brain of the band, main composer and arranger, a soulful but also shreddy guitar player and concert level pianist, furthermore she is a gear nerd Midori on guitars (crazy shredder): Incredibly fast and technical guitar player, has contributed to songwriting for a few of their songs, also she is a body fitness athlete Haruna on drums (little big engine): Plays very fast pace over long distances, she is very efficient and her stamina is admirable, the cymbal work is outstanding, she also wrote one of their songs including lyrics, creates handmade miniature fake food Fami on bass since 2022 (shining fingers): Absolute bass prodigy with outstanding technique, she speaks faster than sonic speed as she plays and smiles non-stop Miho on bass until 2021 (natural born headbanger): We will never forget her, she is a great bass player, she wrote several of the songs for the band’s albums 1-3
You have just witnessed the greatness of Lovebites. Enjoy over 50 more songs you will want to add to your playlist, they have nothing but great songs. 🤘🐺🤘
I've interrupted your reaction video just before you hit the play button. I love these first time reactions to Lovebites! And with the song "Set the World on Fire" I can't imagine you not being impressed by these ladies. Can't wait to see your faces lol. So, let's enjoy!
OMG...WTF......LOL Yeah another 1st time Lovebites reaction!!! Petite musicians who wear their femininity proudly but turn into metal goddesses on stage in gowns and heels. Asami/vocals at 4' 10" is a stage Napoleon general who writes the band's lyrics. Haruna/drums at 4' 9" is a dynamo beast on all out mode from start to finish. Midori/blond guitar and Miyako/dark hair guitar a/k/a M&M is the best duo playing LIVE today. Their world tour kicks off this year and Hiu is an early member of the Wolfpack (fanbase) and all his recommendations will be excellent as Lovebites never disappoints especially LIVE, but they will surprise as you just experienced. BTW, Japanese all female bands are exceptional
Welcome! Thank you for your reaction to LOVEBITES. Very nice analysis and feedback. LOVEBITES has about 60 songs. Thank you for your continued support of LOVEBITES.

I saw Metallica on the master of puppets tour in the UK and thought, wow, what a great band! Lovebites for me exceed Metallica and most bands for that matter! Their new album, which came out last year, knocked Metallica off the No.1 Album chart in Japan!
Metal = Japan nowadays. Thanks for checking Lovebites out. They have more than 60 power/thrash/progressive/symphonic/straight metal songs. If you like Slayer, try with “Break the Wall” next ruclips.net/video/5Pc0XK0lNmU/видео.html Others all female metal bands to check out (to name a few, the list should be very long): Hanabie, Nemophila, Broken by the Scream, Lonesome Blue, … Welcome to the Wolfpack 🐺🤘🏻
Lovebites is going to rule the world!!! There is a lot more... many, many songs...! Most of them will take you aback. Welcome to Wolfpacks' Kingdom. Greetings from Brasil! ❤
This one will draw in the Wolfpack to your channel. World class musicians playing thrash and power metal. 60+ amazing songs. Other songs to start with. The Hammer of Wrath, Holy War, Winds of Transylvania and Judgement Day. Welcome! BTW, the audience was only applauding because this was at the end of the Pandemic and they weren't allowed to yell and scream and stand up.
Good reaction. I advise you to pay close attention to LoveBites. These ladies have something to surprise metal fans all over the world. In terms of the technique of mastering musical instruments and the ability to compose music, LoveBites are among the best metal bands in the world today. Check out any LoveBites song and I think you won't be disappointed. For example (Live): Thunder Vengeance (2020 or 2021), The Awakening&The Hammer of Wrath (2020), Bravehearted (2019), Break the Wall( 2020), Winds of Transylvania (2021), Shadowmaker (2021), Addicted (2020), When Destinies Align (2021) Warning Shot (2018), M.D.O. (2019 or 2021 or 2023), Rising ( 2019 or 2020), Pledge of the Saviour (2019), Liar ( 2023), Raise Some Hell (2020), The Crusade (2018 or 2019 or 2021), Stand and Deliver(Shoot 'em Down) (2023), Spellbound (2021), Judgement Day (2023).
Over 2,000 views already. That might be just as surprising to y'all as the performance of Lovebites. As you can see, Lovebites has a very passionate fanbase of which I am a member. In about 6 months, I will be driving over 1000 miles from Texas to Atlanta to witness the US debut of Lovebites at ProgPower. There are probably several commenters that will also be there. Also like several of the commenters, I have listening to rock/metal for over 5 decades. I was in my 20s during the 1980s. My favorite metal band is Iron Maiden. I am also a huge fan of that great Texas thrash band Pantera. Lovebites took me back to me youth unlike any other band in recent memory. Their musicianship is up there with the legendary 70s/80s metal bands. I would also put their first four albums up against any other band's first four albums (with the possible exception of Megadeth). Not sure that anyone has mentioned it, but Set The World On Fire was composed by the dark haired guitarist Miyako, with lyrics by the vocalist Asami. Miyako is the only female signature artist for Dean Guitars and the only one from Japan. She wasn't playing her signature guitar in this video. Her signature guitar is a beautiful red and black and very similar in shape to her guitar in this video.
Crazy you mention how you would put them up against the big 4!! I mentioned in the video that I believe they are better than some bands from the 80’s lol. They are truly gifted and we can tell they have an amazing fan base!!! Hope you have a blast at your show!!!
@@metalislyfe What you will find with Lovebites is that they are not just a thrash band. In my opinion, they are best described as a power/thrash heavy metal band. You can also hear a bit of symphonic and prog at times. ProgPower is a 4 day festival in one indoor venue that holds about 1000, with 700 being auditorium seating. The first day features 5 bands, and the other three days feature 6 bands each day. I will be attending the 2nd, 3rd and 4th day. Lovebites is the 5th band on day 3, between Soen and Amorphis (also great bands). They will get a full 90 minute set which makes me very happy.
LOVEBITES ! since early 2017 they have been pouring out hit after hit. try as you may you will find nothing but greatness in every one of their 60+ songs. all self written - this kind of talent comes along once in a lifetime. soak it up - you have much awesomeness ahead !
Just to let you know, this is just the beginning. Lovebites is easily the best all female metal band out of Japan, & also the best in the world, but they are the tip of the spear when it comes to ladies in rock & metal from Japan. There's Nemophila, Band-Maid, Hanabie, East Of Eden, Gacharic Spin, Doll$boxx, Mary's Blood, etc. A few other Japanese bands to check out are Galneryus, Unlucky Morpheus, Wagakki Band, Yousei Teikoku, Maximum The Hormone, X-Japan (the OGs of Japanese metal)... And many others I've forgotten to list.
Blown away, speechless, stunned, my cheeks hurt, I almost cry; well, it seems you’ve just watched Lovebites for the very first time. Yes, these Japanese girls are extremely talented, skillful and versatile proficient musicians. Some people say that they’re breaking the walls of stereotypes in the metal scene or that they’re out of this world. You’re right, their main influences are Metallica, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Slayer, Helloween, Dragonforce, Yngwie Malmsteen, Pantera, Megadeth, Deep Purple, Angra, Gary Moore, etc., but they have been developing their own and unique style. In an interview, Miho (ex bassist and founder of the band) said that they wanted to play as heavy as men but keeping their femininity. Asami used to sing R&B, soul and jazz before she joined Lovebites. Miyako (black hair guitarist) is also a concert level classical pianist. Their live performances are just outstanding. My next recommendations are “The hammer of wrath”, “Judgement day”, “Break the wall”, “Shadowmaker”, “When destinies align”, “Winds of Transylvania”, “Above the Black Sea”, “Don’t bite the dust”, “Raise some hell”. And for a different side of them: “Edge of the world”, “Empty daydream”, “Epilogue”, “Chopin etude + Swan song”, “Liar”, “Glory to the world”, “Dancing with the devil”, “A frozen serenade”, “Spellbound”. All live, but “Shadowmaker”, “Winds…”, “When…” and “Glory…” have excellent MVs.
Great reaction. I'm an old 80's thrasher & I fell in love with these amazing ladies when I stumbled across Break the Wall a few years ago. Try that one next. Since you seem to like the throwback thrash sound, I think you'll love it. 🤘🤘
Thank you for reacting to LOVEBITES. They are one of the most musically talented metal bands on the planet. You are definitely correct that they have an "80's sound", although its a modernised version of the 80's sound. They are influenced by the legendary metal bands of the 80's and 90's - Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, Testament, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest etc. Since stumbling across LOVEBITES a few years ago, I quickly fell in love with them. I literally listen to them every day.
They are one of the best live performing heavy metal band, love lovebites!!! Love midori 💚💚💚💚💚 miho💜💜💜💜💜 you still have 60+ songs to react to, and all are very good songs

Great reaction. Yes, they inherited authentic geuine metal from 80s playing in 21 century style. They are as you pointed out influenced by Iron Maiden, Mtallica, Judas Priest, and some Slyer and Dragonforce. This live is played with the former bassist/band founder Miho who left the band in Aug. 2021. I'd suggest most recent another serious headbanger live with the new bassist Fami, Lost In The Garden + La Campanella for your next reaction to Lovebites. ruclips.net/video/HfPGDVx3d14/видео.html It's got amazing guitar soli of the guitar duo and some surpise.
When I saw you I thought, oh young heavy metal fans. I wonder if they will love this eighties heavy metal style? I'm pleasantly surprised, very cool reaction. You started right away with the best Japanese female heavy metal band. We hope to see more great reaction videos from you with Lovebites songs. But I also recommend you to check out other Japanese female heavy metal bands: Nemophila, Band Maid, Bridear, Aldious, Fate Gear, Hanabie, Marys Blood, Destrose, ArkRoyal, Little Lilith, Hades, Gacharic Spin, Dollboxx, Mardelas, Hagane, Asterism. Every single one of these bands is a pearl of rock and metal! Lovebites history : Lovebites has been around since 2016, and the women became more famous worldwide after performing at several major festivals, mainly in Europe, starting in 2018 - Wacken - Open Air in Germany 2018 - Bloodstock Open Air in England 2019 - Graspop Metal Meeting Festival in Belgium 2019 - Download Festival in Spain. In 2020, their career was abruptly interrupted by Corona. But they masterfully overcame the crisis, got married and had babies. In 2021 the founder Miho left the band for personal reasons and it went into a hiatus which lasted until the end of 2022. In the fall of 2022 they found a young fantastic bass player and in 2023 they released a new LP. The new LP reached the 5th place in the Japanese charts. Japan is the 2nd largest music market in the world and it is very rare that in these times a rock band comes so far forward. Members : Asami : Vocals, Piano🎤 Haruna Ishikawa : Drums🥁 Midori Tatematsu : Lead Guitar, backing vocals 🎸 Miyako Watanabe : Lead Guitar, Keyboard , Piano, Keytar, backing vocals🎸🎹 FAMI : Bass🎸 Founder : Miho Rosana : Bass (2016-2021)🎸 INFO : Miyako + Midori are the best guitar duo in 3 decades !

Better late than never. 57 yo metalhead musician....these ladies are my favorite band now for the last three years. This song was my introduction to them when it was first released. I've been bitten and I'm in love with LOVEBITES.
Congrats, you've been introduced to the best metal band in 3 decades. They play various genres of metal music's. Crazy talented, skilled musicians and singer. Produced 60 tracks so far and all were damn good. Trust me. Amazing in cd, mv, studio, live even better. Dig more guys and be prepare for awesomeness.. 👍
Welcome & thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 Lovebites is one of the best bands in our country. We say "Japan is the country obsessed by Rock Music". The history is very long and the obsession started in 1966 when Beatles visited Japan and held 5 concerts at Budokan. Speaking of hard rock / heavy metal music, a number of bands started to come to Japan since as early as 1970s : Led Zeppelin / Grand Funk Railroad (1971), Deep Purple (1972), Queen (1975), Kiss (1977), Cheap Trick / Van Halen / Scorpions (1978), Judas Priest (1978/79) and so on. Now, any type of rock can be enjoyed here, especially by many all-female or women-fronted bands. They are daughters of American / European rock, for sure. (Many are grand-daughters in terms of age.) Uh-oh, we also say "Japan is the country obsessed by Jazz". It had started earlier than rock 😄
Lovebites, Band-Maid, and Trident are my triumvirate of female hard-rock and metal bands. After this, I know you will be checking them out as well lol. There's also Nemophila, BRATS, Scandal, Hanabie, and many many more.

@@metalislyfe Absolutely. I am impressed, too. The fanbase "Wolfpack" is _global_ , and full of gratitude and love for this band which leads Metal to new heights. 😀And Lovebites return that gratitude and love in their live shows: Amazing vibe, and endless _smiles_ . 😀I have never experienced such an expression of togetherness with any other Metal band before. 🙂🐺GER
Great react and welcome to Japan! The metal/rock scene there is truly groundbreaking and is majorly female lead. Lovebites are part of what I like to call the big four along with Babymetal, Band-Maid, & Nemophila. Great starters for them: Babymetal-Metali (feat. Tom Morello)(live) Band-Maid-Hate?(Live from Yokohama arena) Nemophila-Revive(live from the house of blues) Other bands like Hanabie and Gacharic Spin are also great and for these Japanese bands it's always best to do the live versions. Can't wait to see you do more Lovebites and hopefully explore more bands.
And you ain't seen NOTHING yet ! This is just the tip of a very large iceberg - both Lovebites and Japanese Metal and Rock in general . Some other Japanese all girl bands you can check out - Band Maid Nemophila East of Eden Hanabie Gacharic Spin + Babymetal Maximum the Hormone Aldeous to name but a few - and they'll ALL blow your socks off ! Enjoy
![OH MY GOD YAAASSSSSS | LOVEBITES / Set The World On Fire [Live from "Ride For Vengeance Tour 2021"]](/img/1.gif)
I've been listening to metal for 5 decades - Slayer, Priest, Maiden, Metallica, Testament, Anthrax, etc. and all are awesome, but sometimes they miss with a track or even an album. I have some favorites with Lovebites, but they just don't miss overall - they don't have any songs I would not listen to over & over. They are just incredible. If they played in the 80's/90's they would likley be considered 1 of the top 3-4 metal bands of all time (I believe they are the best). Lovebites could cover anything those bands put out, but I would love to see them try to cover a Lovebites track. SMH. Dive deeper, they just get more impressive.
Tip of the iceberg. Wait until you see more. Elite musicians.
You have the expression we all had when we saw them for the first time.........and I'm glad to see metalheads react on what they saw.....your opinion means more to me......keep on with Lovebites and you won't miss......
We love Lovebites!
We do to!!! Truly impressed !!!
audience was covid restricted. next one : "the hammer of wrath" 2023 live tokyo. a super thrasher too, but with proper audience response.
Congratulations. Nobody expects what they hear when they first see LOVEBITES. Filmed during Covid (hence clapping…no cheering, go figure). The Dimebag guitarist was 4/5 months pregnant (after the original dates were delayed). You won’t hear a single weak song from LOVEBITES, everything they write they can reproduce live (or they don’t record it). I’m 64 and this is the best band I have ever seen and heard.
Wow!!! Crazy !!!! We were not expecting them to sound like this at all!!! Truly talented band!!!! We were blown away!!! Thank you for the info you shared with us!!! We definitely will check out more songs by them !!!
Welcome to the 8th Wonder of the World: Lovebites!!!
Just some info: Any videos or music from 2021 or earlier is with Miho as the bass player and co-founder.
This concert, which is great, lacks a bit of energy due to COVID restrictions (In my opinion). Their stage set up is awesome, but the crowd is held back. Also, Miyako on screen right is playing 4 months pregnant.
The previous show, Five of a kind from 2020, is a Awesome concert. They show no stopping from beginning to end and with the crowd, the show is even better.
After Miho left in 2021, the band took some time off and Fami became the new bass player and they dropped a new album, Judgement Day in December of 2022.
They came out with a two day show called Knocken at Heavens Gate to show off Fami and the excitement from the band being on stage to the crowd was electric.
They released 8 songs from it and they show various styles of play.
Hammer of Wrath was the opening song.
Songs from the new album are Judgement Day and Stand and Deliver (Shoot em Down).
These gals are awesome in every way.
Enjoy your journey with them!!!!
LOVEBITES. They are listened not only by metalheads. Ladies came out of their metal genre and have wider spectrum of fans.
They play Eclectic Metal. It means they blend as the first band in history all kind of metal mainly power and thrash with NWOBHM,
heavy metal, symphonic metal, speed metal,hair metal, hard rock, rock, rock'n'roll, jazz, progressive pieces, funk and even punk. They mix all with classical music using operatic, R&B, soul and gospel skills of vocalist and grand piano and Spanish guitar skills playing. Sometimes they use typical Japanese melodic lines which are included in ENKAs_ melancholy ballads singing by Japanese women. Only their can do it. Obviously they draw a lot from British, German and American metal. All this makes their style unique.

"WE ARE LOVEBITES AND WE PLAY HEAVYYYY METAAAAL!!!"
Stay safe. Stay Lovebites.
Midori and Miyako are one of the best guitar duo's in metal music today! 🤘
They were sick!!! So shocked!!!!
LOVEBITES is a five-piece all-female, Japanese heavy metal band with deep musicianship (plus classical music/piano background). They transcend gender, genre, and geography, with some 60 songs in their discography. They won Metal Hammer Golden Gods Award for Best New Band (2018), toured with Dragonforce (2019), first female Japanese band to perform at Wacken Open Air (Germany) and others in Europe, and are unusual among Japanese bands in choosing to sing in English plus good lyrics (a daunting task for native Japanese speakers).
They play a variety of heavy metal styles and are heavily influenced by NWBHM, especially Iron Maiden and the "big four" thrash metal bands. Their live performances are best:
Their 4th STUDIO ALBUM, 2023 (Judgement Day; highly acclaimed (wiki), Guitar Solos galore):
Judgement Day (music video) from their latest album, 2023 (power-thrash-symphonic metal): ruclips.net/video/m3uGjp-P7DI/видео.html ;
Stand and Deliver (music video) ruclips.net/video/4ImGA7cPyrs/видео.html
SHOW OPENERS:
Thunder Vengeance (thrash - show opener): ruclips.net/video/yWE7PqCpGi4/видео.html ;
The Hammer of Wrath: ruclips.net/video/pHrWRT0Jeac/видео.html. However, this This is their first song from their very first album, 2017, but also the first with their new bassist. The previous live version of this song Awakening/The Hammer of Wrath is equally superb.
RANGE OF METAL GENRES:
When Destinies Align (power metal with insane solos), this is live ruclips.net/video/e48OwGcT3Bo/видео.html, the music video is also worth watching.
Shadowmaker (thrash/symphonic with insane solos): ruclips.net/video/wmAKRiG89Qc/видео.html
Break the Wall (thrash): ruclips.net/video/5Pc0XK0lNmU/видео.html
Set The World on Fire (thrash metal): ruclips.net/video/99zsH6iG_6c/видео.html ;
Edge of the World (ballad with Gary Moore inspired solo): ruclips.net/video/UZjxMjBop7w/видео.html
Epilogue (ending with flashes of Hotel California/Jimi Hendricks): ruclips.net/video/1ynnXDfEnnY/видео.html
TWO UNIQUE MASTERPIECE PERFORMANCES:
The two songs below represent two exceptional performances that perhaps no other band can perform live:
Swan Song (with Chopin classical piano intro) ruclips.net/video/dcMVtrvpJpk/видео.html ;
Frozen Serenade: ruclips.net/video/Ae8pQVu-RN8/видео.html
CLASSICAL PIANO EP covers/arrangements of Heavy Metal Songs:
Interestingly, one of their lead guitarist (Miyako) just released a classical piano EP that covers Metallica (Battery), Gary Moore (The Loner), Yngwie Malmsteen (Far Beyond The Sun), Helloween (Eagle Fly Free), and Deep Purple (Burn)
Welcome to the realm of the Wolfpack (Lovebites fans from around the world) ! These amazing ladies play a seamless and innovative blend of speed-power/thrash/prog/neoclassical metal/heavy rock/power ballads which makes their sound unique and contemporary. Note that this specific concert back in 2021 was COVID restricted and the audience was only allowed to clap. As you have just experienced, this band is phenomenal LIVE ! For something not as thrashy, check out "Judgement Day" LIVE on their official YT channel. Enjoy your Lovebites journey !
LOVEBITES - Set The World On Fire lyrics:
The blue moon colors the blaze
Stabbing myself with the thunder
The predetermined imitation
An emotionless and a fearless smile
Flowing blood and crimson blade
Devastated resolution
Heat haze is waving far away
Who’s going to be sacrificed？
ON FIRE
Just like a falling flower
ON FIRE
Until this body rots away
Burning down to the Gates of Hell
Distorted madness is sneering
Incompetent, cowardly fools
A pitiful and painful punishment
It’s you who will be sacrificed
ON FIRE
Dressed in an armor of steel
ON FIRE
If I’m burned again and again
I’ll rise up from the Gates of Hell
SOLO: midori / miyako / both
The blue moon colors blaze
Stabbing myself with the thunder
The predetermined imitation
An emotionless and fearless smile
SOLO: miyako
Flowing blood and crimson blade
Devastated resolution
Heat haze is waving far away
Who’s going to be sacrificed？
ON FIRE
Just like a falling flower
ON FIRE
Until this body rots away
Burning down to the Gates of Hell

Welcome to Lovebites' Kingdom. And now: Break the wall, Hammer of wrath, Judgment day, Raise some hell, Stand and deliver, When destinies allign, Winds of Transylvania, Thunder vengeance, Holy war, and so on...
You just discovered the most talented band on earth..
Fuck yea!!! So excited we got the opportunity tooo!!! They are amazing as fuck !!!
@@metalislyfe You seemed worried at first, like you thought it might turn out bad. Here are two more Lovebites songs to check out: Judgement Day and A Frozen Serenade.
Most talented metal band
I think a reasonable case can be made that they are in the top three most musically talented metal bands on earth, alongside Dream Theater and Symphony-X.
@@metalislyfe Welcome to The Wolfpack - you have been Bitten. 🤘🐺🔥
welcome to the world of Lovebites the world of beautiful ballads, heavy, power, speed, thrash metal. I recommend you check out their entire discography, including live videos, music videos and audio tracks. You'll be blown away! With around 60 tracks to discover, I'm willing to bet you'll be a fan of this band. I myself have come to the conclusion that nothing has ever been better.
excellent reaction , thank you , congratulations on the first listen you realized how incredible these women are,
metal + grace + elegance + beauty + sympathy + great musicians + great songs = LOVEBITES !!!
That's the best metal band in the world right there! No one I know of can match what they can do. They're amazing. You have no idea! I recommend anything live by them. You'll probably see a few things in comments. Some is on their official channel, but many others are on other channels. Welcome to the Wolfpack! I subscribed, in the hopes that you check out some more.
Yes!!! We are going to!! We do reactions on Saturdays!! So we will add another one this weekend!!! Thanks for reaching out and for the support!!! 🤘🏼
This song was composed by Miyako, the dark-haired guitarist. She has written over 40 of their songs. She is a classically trained pianist and taught herself to play guitar when she was 18.
and there is soooo much more awesomeness where that came from....keep exploring the best metal band out there!!!!
Predictable comment: I love this band 🤘🏴🐺
The Wolfpack Salute you¡¡ Lovebites are:
Asami: vocals (she is also a dancer)
Rossana Miho: Bass (in this video, now they have a new bassist: Fami)
Midori: Lead guitar (also a body builder competitor in Japan) ESP guitar.
Miyako: Lead guitar, composer and pianist (The golden touch) Dean guitar.
Haruna: Drums (the little power engine)
Very high quality band of Heavy metal right now¡¡
Recommendations: Stand and deliver, When destinies Allign, The Hammer of Wrath, M:D.O, Burden of time, Frozen Serenade...for start..
Wow crazy how much talent is in this band!!! Thanks for the salute 🫡 and thanks for the info!! You rock !!!
First reactions are the best when it comes to LOVEBITES because it is totally unexpected and they blow you away. My favorite band. Now do their song Judgement Day!!.
And Miyako (black hair guitarist) was 4/5 months pregnant!
Not bad for 5mos pregnant right...dark-haired guitarist, Miyako, she is metal AF. The drummer, Haruna is 4' 9", Asami, vocalist 4' 10" and can belt with the best of them and I love clean vocals! It only gets better and wait till you see their OTHER side. They can do it all and it's all ELITE / PRECISION musicianship! Welcome to the Queens of Metal, F yeah!!
Quality Thrash metal with clean vocals, and I'm in music heaven.
The first time you see Lovebites, it is a bit of a shock. It takes time for your brain to process what is happening.
Fun to see. It happened to all of us, when we discovered this band. This is just a taste of what Lovebites can do.
Keep going with more Lovebites. Wolfpack will invade your comments! 😆
My introduction to Lovebites was 'The Winds of Transylvania' which was written by them for an Anime series, Vlad Love. There are two versions on YT, one live and the music video anime version. It was the latter that I saw, I felt I had been hit by a runaway train, three years later I'm still not sure I've recovered 😅 I have been listening to heavy rock and metal for over 50 years, and I feel Lovebites are one of the best bands I've ever heard. I'm going to see them play a gig in London next June 😃
Thrash Metal heaven! With Thrash Metal being my favourite metal subgenre, this is one of my five favourite songs by Lovebites, the other four being "Break the Wall" (live version from 2020), "The Hammer of Wrath", "Dissonance" and "Soldier Stands Solitarily" (the latter is Power Metal, though), but there are at least another 10 Lovebites-songs I like about as much and so far none I don't like. I don't see any other band doing the same range of different "old school" metal genres (still waiting for their first Doom Metal song, though) and playing on the same level as they do. Looking forward to finally seeing them live in Belgium and Germany in June!
Welcome to LOVEBITES 🤘🏼🐺🔥
Here some information about them:
The band was formed in 2016 by original bassist Miho and drummer Haruna. Their first EP and album came out in 2017. So far LOVEBITES have released 4 albums, some Singles/EPs and also a bunch of DVD/Blu-ray live recordings.
Back in 2018/2019 LOVEBITES have already toured in Europe, including appearances at the major metal festivals as Wacken, Download, Bloodstock, Graspop. In 2018 they also won the Metal Hammer UK Golden Gods Award for best new band.
Then came covid, their original bass player and founder Miho quit the band for personal reasons and two babies were born. After a break LOVEBITES came back with new bassist Fami and new song „Judgement Day“ in late 2022. A new album with the same title came out in February 2023.
This year in June LOVEBITES‘ first world tour starts in Europe. In September they will play their biggest headline show ever in Tokyo. After that LOVEBITES will have their US debut …
The band members of LOVEBITES are (including their official nicknames)
Asami on vocals (the one and only voice):
She has an amazing vocal range and vibrato, writes most of the lyrics, also did parts of the song writing for their latest 2 albums, she is a former ballerina and RnB/soul singer
Miyako on guitars, piano, keyboards (the golden touch):
She is the musical brain of the band, main composer and arranger, a soulful but also shreddy guitar player and concert level pianist, furthermore she is a gear nerd
Midori on guitars (crazy shredder):
Incredibly fast and technical guitar player, has contributed to songwriting for a few of their songs, also she is a body fitness athlete
Haruna on drums (little big engine):
Plays very fast pace over long distances, she is very efficient and her stamina is admirable, the cymbal work is outstanding, she also wrote one of their songs including lyrics, creates handmade miniature fake food
Fami on bass since 2022 (shining fingers):
Absolute bass prodigy with outstanding technique, she speaks faster than sonic speed as she plays and smiles non-stop
Miho on bass until 2021 (natural born headbanger):
We will never forget her, she is a great bass player, she wrote several of the songs for the band’s albums 1-3
Hellooo. Keep reacting to these girls, because they are going to move you how good they are. A big hug
I love it, we can see the emotion growing on your faces as the song progresses.
You have just witnessed the greatness of Lovebites. Enjoy over 50 more songs you will want to add to your playlist, they have nothing but great songs. 🤘🐺🤘
"What's happening?" Well... you just fell into the Lovebites rabbit hole. Welcome and enjoy the trip. 🤘🐺
I've interrupted your reaction video just before you hit the play button. I love these first time reactions to Lovebites! And with the song "Set the World on Fire" I can't imagine you not being impressed by these ladies. Can't wait to see your faces lol. So, let's enjoy!
OMG...WTF......LOL Yeah another 1st time Lovebites reaction!!! Petite musicians who wear their femininity proudly but turn into metal goddesses on stage in gowns and heels. Asami/vocals at 4' 10" is a stage Napoleon general who writes the band's lyrics. Haruna/drums at 4' 9" is a dynamo beast on all out mode from start to finish. Midori/blond guitar and Miyako/dark hair guitar a/k/a M&M is the best duo playing LIVE today. Their world tour kicks off this year and Hiu is an early member of the Wolfpack (fanbase) and all his recommendations will be excellent as Lovebites never disappoints especially LIVE, but they will surprise as you just experienced. BTW, Japanese all female bands are exceptional
Lovebites are great. You are only scratching the surface.
Welcome!
Thank you for your reaction to LOVEBITES.
Very nice analysis and feedback.
LOVEBITES has about 60 songs.

I saw Metallica on the master of puppets tour in the UK and thought, wow, what a great band! Lovebites for me exceed Metallica and most bands for that matter! Their new album, which came out last year, knocked Metallica off the No.1 Album chart in Japan!
LOVEBITES "Judgement Day" album also reached #1 in Australia. They have fans all over the world.
@@1970Phoenix also the Germany.. and US.. and UK.. and many countries.. except France, they're #2 🤦
Nothing to add to the others, other than to say I love this reaction!
Thank you sooo much!!!! We appreciate the love 🫶🏼
Rock and Metal are alive and well and living in Japan
Metal = Japan nowadays. Thanks for checking Lovebites out. They have more than 60 power/thrash/progressive/symphonic/straight metal songs. If you like Slayer, try with “Break the Wall” next ruclips.net/video/5Pc0XK0lNmU/видео.html
Others all female metal bands to check out (to name a few, the list should be very long): Hanabie, Nemophila, Broken by the Scream, Lonesome Blue, …
Welcome to the Wolfpack 🐺🤘🏻
Saki just left Nemophila.
@@marting.h.9417 I know. I hope they manage to go through this and come out stronger than before 🎸
you have the greeting of a member of wolfpack (the worldwide Lovebites fan club) who lives in Paris.
Lovebites is going to rule the world!!! There is a lot more... many, many songs...! Most of them will take you aback. Welcome to Wolfpacks' Kingdom. Greetings from Brasil! ❤
This one will draw in the Wolfpack to your channel. World class musicians playing thrash and power metal. 60+ amazing songs. Other songs to start with. The Hammer of Wrath, Holy War, Winds of Transylvania and Judgement Day. Welcome! BTW, the audience was only applauding because this was at the end of the Pandemic and they weren't allowed to yell and scream and stand up.
Welcome to the greatest band in metal.
Next reaction Judgement Day, A Frozen Serenade, Lovebites Amazing Musicians.
Good reaction. I advise you to pay close attention to LoveBites. These ladies have something to surprise metal fans all over the world. In terms of the technique of mastering musical instruments and the ability to compose music, LoveBites are among the best metal bands in the world today.
Check out any LoveBites song and I think you won't be disappointed. For example (Live):
Thunder Vengeance (2020 or 2021), The Awakening&The Hammer of Wrath (2020), Bravehearted (2019), Break the Wall( 2020), Winds of Transylvania (2021), Shadowmaker (2021), Addicted (2020), When Destinies Align (2021) Warning Shot (2018), M.D.O. (2019 or 2021 or 2023), Rising ( 2019 or 2020), Pledge of the Saviour (2019), Liar ( 2023), Raise Some Hell (2020), The Crusade (2018 or 2019 or 2021), Stand and Deliver(Shoot 'em Down) (2023), Spellbound (2021), Judgement Day (2023).
Wait till you react to 'Scream For Me', (live) Fourteen guitar solo's that will totally disarm you. Ten of them in "conversation mode".
They’re the queens of metal
Over 2,000 views already. That might be just as surprising to y'all as the performance of Lovebites. As you can see, Lovebites has a very passionate fanbase of which I am a member. In about 6 months, I will be driving over 1000 miles from Texas to Atlanta to witness the US debut of Lovebites at ProgPower. There are probably several commenters that will also be there. Also like several of the commenters, I have listening to rock/metal for over 5 decades. I was in my 20s during the 1980s. My favorite metal band is Iron Maiden. I am also a huge fan of that great Texas thrash band Pantera. Lovebites took me back to me youth unlike any other band in recent memory. Their musicianship is up there with the legendary 70s/80s metal bands. I would also put their first four albums up against any other band's first four albums (with the possible exception of Megadeth).
Not sure that anyone has mentioned it, but Set The World On Fire was composed by the dark haired guitarist Miyako, with lyrics by the vocalist Asami. Miyako is the only female signature artist for Dean Guitars and the only one from Japan. She wasn't playing her signature guitar in this video. Her signature guitar is a beautiful red and black and very similar in shape to her guitar in this video.
Crazy you mention how you would put them up against the big 4!! I mentioned in the video that I believe they are better than some bands from the 80’s lol. They are truly gifted and we can tell they have an amazing fan base!!! Hope you have a blast at your show!!!
@@metalislyfe What you will find with Lovebites is that they are not just a thrash band. In my opinion, they are best described as a power/thrash heavy metal band. You can also hear a bit of symphonic and prog at times.
ProgPower is a 4 day festival in one indoor venue that holds about 1000, with 700 being auditorium seating. The first day features 5 bands, and the other three days feature 6 bands each day. I will be attending the 2nd, 3rd and 4th day. Lovebites is the 5th band on day 3, between Soen and Amorphis (also great bands). They will get a full 90 minute set which makes me very happy.
"Holy War " live at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo.... Will melt your ears!!!!
We will add them to our list !!!! Thank you!!!
Break The Wall from the same concert is one of their best thrash songs if you're interested in another song.
I agree.
Just love people discovering Lovebites………sick sick sick band
I enjoyed yr reaction... this is only the beginning. They have no bad or filler tracks
🐺LOVEBITES RULES🐺
Not every song is this thrashy but holy crap they do old time metal justice in modern way 100%.
Yes a hundred percent.. that's what we call justice.. old school metal at it's finest.. !
Behold, the power of Lovebites! If you’re going down their rabbit hole, buckle up because they have deep and excellent catalog.😊
We are excited to check them out !!!
My favorite metal band.
Your channel name is so truth.
Your epic list is about to have a bunch of Lovebites tunes! Hahaha
LOVEBITES ! since early 2017 they have been pouring out hit after hit. try as you may you will find nothing but greatness in every one of their 60+ songs. all self written - this kind of talent comes along once in a lifetime. soak it up - you have much awesomeness ahead !
You gotta hear Lovebites play "Painkiller"
Just to let you know, this is just the beginning. Lovebites is easily the best all female metal band out of Japan, & also the best in the world, but they are the tip of the spear when it comes to ladies in rock & metal from Japan. There's Nemophila, Band-Maid, Hanabie, East Of Eden, Gacharic Spin, Doll$boxx, Mary's Blood, etc. A few other Japanese bands to check out are Galneryus, Unlucky Morpheus, Wagakki Band, Yousei Teikoku, Maximum The Hormone, X-Japan (the OGs of Japanese metal)... And many others I've forgotten to list.
Blown away, speechless, stunned, my cheeks hurt, I almost cry; well, it seems you’ve just watched Lovebites for the very first time. Yes, these Japanese girls are extremely talented, skillful and versatile proficient musicians. Some people say that they’re breaking the walls of stereotypes in the metal scene or that they’re out of this world. You’re right, their main influences are Metallica, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Slayer, Helloween, Dragonforce, Yngwie Malmsteen, Pantera, Megadeth, Deep Purple, Angra, Gary Moore, etc., but they have been developing their own and unique style. In an interview, Miho (ex bassist and founder of the band) said that they wanted to play as heavy as men but keeping their femininity. Asami used to sing R&B, soul and jazz before she joined Lovebites. Miyako (black hair guitarist) is also a concert level classical pianist. Their live performances are just outstanding. My next recommendations are “The hammer of wrath”, “Judgement day”, “Break the wall”, “Shadowmaker”, “When destinies align”, “Winds of Transylvania”, “Above the Black Sea”, “Don’t bite the dust”, “Raise some hell”. And for a different side of them: “Edge of the world”, “Empty daydream”, “Epilogue”, “Chopin etude + Swan song”, “Liar”, “Glory to the world”, “Dancing with the devil”, “A frozen serenade”, “Spellbound”. All live, but “Shadowmaker”, “Winds…”, “When…” and “Glory…” have excellent MVs.
Great reaction. I'm an old 80's thrasher & I fell in love with these amazing ladies when I stumbled across Break the Wall a few years ago. Try that one next. Since you seem to like the throwback thrash sound, I think you'll love it. 🤘🤘
I agree. I think "Break the Wall" is one of best thrash songs ever written.
The virus has already entered your blood, it's too late 🤘🏽🤘🏽⚡⚡⚡⚡ LOVEBITES ⚡⚡⚡⚡🤘🏽🤘🏽
Thank you for reacting to LOVEBITES. They are one of the most musically talented metal bands on the planet. You are definitely correct that they have an "80's sound", although its a modernised version of the 80's sound. They are influenced by the legendary metal bands of the 80's and 90's - Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, Testament, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest etc. Since stumbling across LOVEBITES a few years ago, I quickly fell in love with them. I literally listen to them every day.
They are one of the best live performing heavy metal band, love lovebites!!! Love midori 💚💚💚💚💚 miho💜💜💜💜💜 you still have 60+ songs to react to, and all are very good songs
Miho Miho Miho!

Welcome tothe Wolfpack (Lovebites fans all over the world). You haven't seen anything yet. The amazement never ends...
you're both cute and I'll be following all your reactions on Lovebites for sure.
Thank you for showing me lovebites I really enjoyed listening this band for the first time with yall
🤘🤘
Great reaction! I am looking forward to seeing more of your Lovebites videos. They are something special and all of their songs are amazing!
Welcome to the WOLFPACK FAMILY,The WHITE NINJA's ROCK!!!!🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Dudes. Judgment Day live.
Great reaction. Yes, they inherited authentic geuine metal from 80s playing in 21 century style. They are as you pointed out influenced by Iron Maiden, Mtallica, Judas Priest, and some Slyer and Dragonforce. This live is played with the former bassist/band founder Miho who left the band in Aug. 2021. I'd suggest most recent another serious headbanger live with the new bassist Fami, Lost In The Garden + La Campanella for your next reaction to Lovebites. ruclips.net/video/HfPGDVx3d14/видео.html It's got amazing guitar soli of the guitar duo and some surpise.
Lovebites is right now the best metalband in thé world
When I saw you I thought, oh young heavy metal fans. I wonder if they will love this eighties heavy metal style? I'm pleasantly surprised, very cool reaction. You started right away with the best Japanese female heavy metal band. We hope to see more great reaction videos from you with Lovebites songs. But I also recommend you to check out other Japanese female heavy metal bands: Nemophila, Band Maid, Bridear, Aldious, Fate Gear, Hanabie, Marys Blood, Destrose, ArkRoyal, Little Lilith, Hades, Gacharic Spin, Dollboxx, Mardelas, Hagane, Asterism.
Every single one of these bands is a pearl of rock and metal!
Lovebites history :
Lovebites has been around since 2016, and the women became more famous worldwide after performing at several major festivals, mainly in Europe, starting in
2018 - Wacken - Open Air in Germany
2018 - Bloodstock Open Air in England
2019 - Graspop Metal Meeting Festival in Belgium
2019 - Download Festival in Spain.
In 2020, their career was abruptly interrupted by Corona. But they masterfully overcame the crisis, got married and had babies. In 2021 the founder Miho left the band for personal reasons and it went into a hiatus which lasted until the end of 2022. In the fall of 2022 they found a young fantastic bass player and in 2023 they released a new LP. The new LP reached the 5th place in the Japanese charts. Japan is the 2nd largest music market in the world and it is very rare that in these times a rock band comes so far forward.

Better late than never. 57 yo metalhead musician....these ladies are my favorite band now for the last three years. This song was my introduction to them when it was first released. I've been bitten and I'm in love with LOVEBITES.
Congrats, you've been introduced to the best metal band in 3 decades. They play various genres of metal music's. Crazy talented, skilled musicians and singer. Produced 60 tracks so far and all were damn good. Trust me. Amazing in cd, mv, studio, live even better. Dig more guys and be prepare for awesomeness.. 👍
Welcome & thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 Lovebites is one of the best bands in our country. We say "Japan is the country obsessed by Rock Music". The history is very long and the obsession started in 1966 when Beatles visited Japan and held 5 concerts at Budokan. Speaking of hard rock / heavy metal music, a number of bands started to come to Japan since as early as 1970s : Led Zeppelin / Grand Funk Railroad (1971), Deep Purple (1972), Queen (1975), Kiss (1977), Cheap Trick / Van Halen / Scorpions (1978), Judas Priest (1978/79) and so on. Now, any type of rock can be enjoyed here, especially by many all-female or women-fronted bands. They are daughters of American / European rock, for sure. (Many are grand-daughters in terms of age.)
Uh-oh, we also say "Japan is the country obsessed by Jazz". It had started earlier than rock 😄
Lovebites, Band-Maid, and Trident are my triumvirate of female hard-rock and metal bands. After this, I know you will be checking them out as well lol. There's also Nemophila, BRATS, Scandal, Hanabie, and many many more.

Welcome to the Wolf Pack
Thank you so much!!!! Intense the support this band has!!! I love it
@@metalislyfe Absolutely. I am impressed, too. The fanbase "Wolfpack" is _global_ , and full of gratitude and love for this band which leads Metal to new heights. 😀And Lovebites return that gratitude and love in their live shows: Amazing vibe, and endless _smiles_ . 😀I have never experienced such an expression of togetherness with any other Metal band before. 🙂🐺GER
Thank you for your reaction to my favorite heavy metal band!🤘🏼. You’ve only scratched the surface with these incredibly talented ladies!
No words needed. Her expression says it all.
WELCOME to THE WOLFPACK 🐺🤘🏼
MAIDENS QUEENS OF HEAVY METAL 🐺🤘🏼
Next : ZEN- NEMOPHILA
They literally don't have a bad song. Only songs that you like better than others.
620 views in 1 hour expect at least 2000 views in 1 day
I guess more like 10,000
Great react and welcome to Japan! The metal/rock scene there is truly groundbreaking and is majorly female lead. Lovebites are part of what I like to call the big four along with Babymetal, Band-Maid, & Nemophila. Great starters for them:
Babymetal-Metali (feat. Tom Morello)(live)
Band-Maid-Hate?(Live from Yokohama arena)
Nemophila-Revive(live from the house of blues)
Other bands like Hanabie and Gacharic Spin are also great and for these Japanese bands it's always best to do the live versions. Can't wait to see you do more Lovebites and hopefully explore more bands.
Welcome to Wolfpack 🐺🤘
You have witnessed the best female heavy metal band of all time, as you get to know their songs you will be more and more surprised.
We are excited to listen to more of their songs!!!!
@@metalislyfe You will not regret it. With Lovebites, it is only a matter of personal taste, never of quality. 🙂
And you ain't seen NOTHING yet ! This is just the tip of a very large iceberg - both Lovebites and Japanese Metal and Rock in general .
Some other Japanese all girl bands you can check out -
