    Actually the Galneryus song "Angel of Salvation" is a 16 minutes track, the music video on youtube cuts it halfway which is why it had that abrupt fade out ending.

    "Live in Tokyo 2021" containing Glory to the World will be released on September 29th. At the time of live performance, they will be equipped with a turbocharger, so I was looking forward to receiving the DVD. However, on August 17th, leader Miho (bass) announced that he would leave LOVEBITES, and this DVD will probably be Miho's last appearance on LOVEBAITES.
    As one of the fans of LOVE BAITES, I am very sad.

    For me the real point is that both of these bands should be far better known in the West. The U.S., in particular, seems closed to artists from other parts of the world, which is our loss. Our rock scene is lacking in ambition and originality. American bands would not use words like "glory" unironically. Thanks for featuring both bands. Making it a contest seems a little besides the point, however. An analysis of the similarities and differences in their compositions, on the other hand, would be more interesting.

      Very well put. So many Asian and European bands that should actually be known world-wide. But we have to remember one thing, very often it is also a Label problem. Band-Maid and Lovebites for example for a very long time had no way to get their albums on the international markets. We had to buy from Japan at insane prices and wait times for shipping. And as far as I am aware, Asian labels are the only ones that still operate mostly domestic and refuse to work with international distributers.

    Both these bands are new to me, good discoveries to add to my playlist. I'm a sucker for big loud guitar solos, and compared on this point, both bands deliver some hot stuff. I read some of the other comments saying that Lovebites have other songs more heavy on the guitar, so which songs would you recommend where the two guitars really take it all out?

    • @hiawatha.g
      @hiawatha.g 2 года назад +6

      Essentially every Lovebites song features dual solos and/or duets.
      They are generally best live. You should next check out “Holy War”: ruclips.net/video/bgAxpEpEcno/видео.html
      Other live songs to check out are "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
      For a thrasher with heavy 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)
      Miyako is also a professional-level classical concert pianist, and was headed for a career in classical music, before picking up the guitar. If you want to see what she can do on the piano, watch “Swan Song” WITH the prelude, which is Chopin’s “Revolutionary Etude”. Miyako wrote “Swan Song” using elements from several classical pieces including the Etude. This link should work: ruclips.net/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/видео.html; It also features an ending shred harmony between guitar and piano. If it is taken down, you can watch two clips back to back: ruclips.net/video/hDBjiQI9cyc/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/uEsEWISc8Q0/видео.html
      Finally, while it’s generally true their live clips are best, their MV’s are epic and worth seeing:
      "When Destinies Align" ruclips.net/video/hLFelI93VkM/видео.html
      "Winds of Transylvania" ruclips.net/video/HsE4Ub_Pjh8/видео.html.

      If you search for solos from Galneryus I can just recommend you to look up their last 4 albums. Syu has a solo on every song, thought I might say that I love The Force of Courage and Raise my Sword if we talk about great solos. Also, Angel of Salvation is actually a 14 minutes songs + this video cuts a very big solo. These songs are in my Top 15 but not Top 5, thought they are the greatest solo songs I know.

  • @davidarcus5131
    @davidarcus5131 Год назад +4

    Some perspectives one year lat(er): either band comes out on top depending on whether you are considering the song's composition, the group's performance-delivery, or visceral effect on you as the listener. Individual technique and musicality show off better in Galneryus, whereas Lovebites demonstrates a composite technical and musical excellence. Not surprising that you don't see a single player in Lovebites, like either Miyako or Midori, outshine the other. Likewise, Miho and Haruna are (were, rather) so solid in their rhythmic drive, that you can't have one without the other. In Galneryus, at least in Angel of Salvation, Syu shines without any real competition from the others, so he emerges as the star of the song. Masatoshi's and Asami's vocals differ most, with the former blending into the instrumental parts and the latter providing a decisive layer to the overall texture. I took to Masatoshi Ono's voice right away. Asami's vocals had to grow on me for the first three LB songs I heard, but, wow, she really is a remarkable singer. Glory to the World is a better song composition-wise -- thematically tighter with sections that are better proportioned. Honestly, I'm moved equally by each piece, although Galneryus and Angel of Salvation were new to me today, which speaks to their giving me a strong first impression. I've been listening to Lovebites for a little over a year now, so I'm more familiar with their entire output, nearly all of which is outstanding.
    Really great that you found two power metal performances by two different bands, playing in a very similar musical style in the same visual setting! I'm more taken by the coincidences than trying to compare the two bands or their songs. With Angel dating back to 2012, I have to think that Midori et cie. perhaps were inspired by what Galneryus did; if so, Glory to the World is a nice tribute to them.
    For me, the vote goes to Lovebites.

    Think Galneryus sound in this track very much like Jupiter, which have 2 guitarists with symphonic metal sound. They also filmed in this spot. I prefer the vocal style of Asami Lovebites, l would of thought the Lovebites song Swan song with the Chopin intro would be a more better comparison, I prefer the contrasting styles of Lovebites guitarist, and Thier rhythem section drum and bass seem to have a greater role in the Lovebites track. Galneryus seem to have a great guitarist but not much else. In which case l prefer Hizaki from Jupiter

    Regarding the placement of the vocalists--This happens to be much more a showcase for Asami than most Lovebites songs, so maybe it was not the optimal choice.

    Galneryus are true legends, shame about the inconsistent sound in recent albums compared to their earlier work, but they are still miles ahead of most metal bands of recent years. I do think Galneryus have a more throughout song structure, where I can remember sections of their songs more than in Lovebites. Perhaps is their experience or maybe like guy host said is more of a composition where all members play an important role to create, whilst in Lovebites is more centered around the singing which is also a bit more poppy and everything else just follows.

    • @funnyrailroadcrossing2767
      @funnyrailroadcrossing2767 2 года назад +7

      On the other hand, Lovebites album always consistent with straight up power metal and thrash metal. They never downgrade/mix with pop, punk, etc. so far. I haven't followed Galneryus in a long time, however Galneryus is still one of my favorite Japanese bands along with Lovebites and X Japan.
      In my opinion choose Galneryus if you prefer more technical, faster guitar solos, more complex sounds.
      Choose Lovebites/X Japan if you want easy listening and a more memorable song/lyrics

    Apples and Oranges: There is little doubt that Galneryus are more technical and experienced, given their age, with both groups exhibiting the Japanese work ethic and pursuit of excellence. However, Lovebites is a transformative group with global signifance beyond "Japanse metal" or "metal", not just because they are female ... not just because the choose the daunting to sing in English (a very hard task for most Japanese, period) ... but examine the depth and significance of their lyrics. If you look at their live shows in Tokyo, you realize you're not just looking at musicians, but at artists telling a story: Four examples exhibit this: Swan Song (with Chopin intro), Break the Wall, Frozen Serenade, and Edge of the World. Kindly send me links that show how Galneryus matches the aforementioned.

    LOVEBITES - Glory to the World lyrics:
    Everything around us will fall into dark
    When you keep on looking into the sadness
    Nobody in this world may ever be free
    My hearts will shiver and I can't take deep breath
    But rains will end, and nights will pass, griefs will purify
    The dawn will come and bring the light in this world
    Grace to my heart, Hallelujah
    I know you really care for me
    So I leave everything in your hands
    You'd walk with me all the way
    Learning to love yourself
    It is the greatest love of all
    Time will come where we feel the love and the reason to be me
    Standing in nowhere and searching for meanings
    A sleepless night haunting us like a shadow
    A blur in the future, the fear of unknown
    There will come a time where we can leave everything behind
    Breeze are running through the land and endless to the sky
    Together we will make it through this deep night
    Grace to my heart, Hallelujah
    I know you really care for me
    So I leave everything in your hands
    You'd walk with me all the way
    Learning to love yourself
    It is the greatest love of all
    Time will come where we feel the love and the reason to be me
    And rains will end, and nights will pass, griefs will purify
    The dawn will come and bring the light and lead us to a new world
    Grace to my heart, Hallelujah
    I know you really care for me
    So I leave everything in your hands
    You'd walk with me all the way
    Learning to love yourself
    It is the greatest love of all
    Wherever you go, this world that we breathe together,
    Nothing more precious

    Lovebites are absolutely fantastic but from a technique point of view Galneryus is infinitely beyond them (although comparing technique is a little unfair, Galneryus are infinitely beyond most bands anywhere in the world technique wise, they're similar to Dream Theater and Symphony X in that regard). I also think Galneryus is more creative in their song-writing. That said I can find Galneryus can get a bit too twiddly diddly for a bit too long at times (not Angel of Salvation, that whole thing is pure fire). Guitar solos are cool but I always really want them to feel like they have a point and a few Galneryus tracks can verge into soloing for soloing's sake IMO. Pro's and con's to both bands, but they're both excellent.

      If it’s pure speed your interested in then Galneryus guitar player wins but Lovebites definitely has catchier hooks in both their melodies and leads. That’s probably why they have about twice as many RUclips followers as Galneryus who has been around many years longer. Don’t get me wrong, Galneryus has very good songs but I’ll stick to my original statement even after reviewing the evidence.

    Vocals, guitars, basses, drums, keyboards, all members have top-notch techniques. (Lovebites Miyako is a master of piano)
    And "both have an anime theme song, and there are members who have experience in classical music together."
    In addition, "Galneryus and Lovebites are highly evaluated for their perfection in live performances."
    The two bands are "West and East Yokozuna", so the levels are perfectly equal.
    この2つのバンドには色々な共通点が有ります。
    先ずは「どちらもメンバーの技術力がずば抜けて高い」事。
    ボーカルもギターもベースもドラムもキーボードも、全てのメンバーが超一流のテクニックを持っています。(ラブバイツのミヤコはピアノの名手)
    そして「どちらもアニメ主題歌を持っている事と、共にクラシック音楽に触れてきた経験の有るメンバーが居る」事。
    更に「ガルネリウスもラブバイツも、ライブ演奏での完成度の評価が非常に高い」事などが有ります。

Individually their solos aren't that far behind Syu's but together they create magic. Asami has an amazing voice in this song and you can't beat the message in the lyrics of the Lovebites song.
