I prefer Lovebites over any all male band in the world now. I won't say they put them to shame, I will just say that too much growling gets boring to me.
@@maxmaidiac2237 Actually metalcore and death metal boring, I prefer more death metal classics bands, I don't like the moderns bands only Lovebites, because is a classical band, people only listen this Arch Enemy and Epica, Nightwish these days🙄
The sad thing is that Lovebites only has 39,000 subscribers. How can that be? One of the best speed metal bands. Women who blow dry their hair get more attention. I don't get it.
Its to advanced for many folks sadly. They are almost to Perfect. I wish the mainstream Industry would catch up with these uncanny Japanese acts already. But nope its same ole same ole.
@@hiufernando7340 Japanese labels and their management teams seem to be very slow and or incapable of really capitalizing on their artists' growing followings in general - especially internationally. In this day and age of "female empowerment" and supremely talented all-girl bands like this are only managing commercial footnotes? No excuse for that really. BABYMETAL may be the biggest name, but even their management has stumbled and fumbled their handling of that band several times over. It's been well over half a decade of this J-Rock/Metal movement of great talent and great songs, where not only the musicianship and vocal talent is there, but the songs are also as pleasing to even the most casual ear as they are inspired and the whole thing is still playing a distant 2nd to K-Pop internationally. Nothing against people that like K-Pop or anything, but IMO it's nowhere near as mind-blowing as what's been coming out of Japan for a good long while now.
Really cute animal videos get millions of views ha ha. That is okay by me. People can support Lovebites by buying their CDs and Merch. When concerts resume tickets will sell out super fast. It will be a great new experience to be at a concert and be surrounded by all of the RUclips chat people.
As you know, Miyako and Miho have written most of their music to date, but the others are stepping up. This is one of Midori's compositions, and she nailed it.
Is Midori the one doing the epic guitar squeals? They really are awesome and complete the song for me. Tremendous musical character. Just the squeal will replay in my head sometimes and that is enough to make me happy.
@@johnafirth But Miyako also loves to play with distortion and other effects. She often has the dirtier tone, even when playing melodic lines. They can both do pretty much whatever they want, that's the bottom line!
Like you, I don't take the videos too seriously, but in this case it sort of aligns with the story-line that Lovebites are like angels (or superheroes) sent to redeem us with music. They have in fact said in interviews that one of their missions is to save metal from darkness and obscurity. If anyone is qualified for the job, they are!
Yes, i'm still remember you are the one Lovebitten. When I'm search reaction to Lovebites. I find you reaction video Lovebites. And on that's reaction you get bites from Lovebites. So I'm glad now you back again get bites from Lovebites😁 I'm so enjoyed with your reaction to Lovebites. Thank you so much.
@@ricdale7813 Not the same as having a physical copy. I like to own music. I like to read who produced it and dod the artwork. It is a manot part of the experience for me.
Wow, that intro got me all "Ohh, Zelda!"! It's such a weird contrast with the musicians, the music and then the unmistakable Japanese twist on all of it. Japan is such a great country to explore musically and attending a show in Japan with one of these bands is a bucket list item, for sure!
LOVEBITES is NOT an "opening act" for ANYONE! They are a world-class HEADLINER! Lots of people are talking about Helloween's upcoming tour, and how they should take Lovebites with them. I disagree! Unless Helloween wants to OPEN for LOVEBITES!
This song was written by Midori and Mao ( the former keyboard player of Light Bringer, they collaborate with him frequently) and lyrics written by Asami. It’s the most straightforward song of the EP. they have their most thrash song written by Asami (!) named Paranoia, their most prog song to date written by Miyako named Dystopia Symphony, a great last minute song named No Time to Hesitate and of course the song they have written for the Vlad Love anime Winds of Transylvania. You will love it. Thank you for reacting to this incredible band!
Dystopia Symphony is EPIC. Love it! The solo section is just wicked nasty! Reminds me of something Symphony-X would do, and Haruna's drumming on that part reminds me of Gene Hoglan! LOVEBITES is on another level. They have unlocked the secrets of greatness... and they are ready to take over the world!
That was a really great analysis, or reaction, or whatever you want to call it. Yeah, they're astonishingly good, and this song in particular really does leave you a bit shellshocked. You're right, it just builds and builds and builds and you get lost in the rush and the epicness of it all. I would've pegged it as a Miyako composition because she's the one who composes music from a classical perspective and comes up with these sorts of tracks all the time, so it was a bit surprising when I found out Midori's actually the musical mastermind in this case. If this is indicative of the quality of her songwriting, I really hope she makes it a habit because this is brilliant.
They pull influences from everywhere. Which is great, because what worked years ago... still works today! But they manage to put their own unique touch on it, which always makes it so special.
The whole EP is excellent! They actually played 2 live shows last week (their first shows in a year since Covid started) and are about to play 2 more in the coming weeks, they are all sold out since last year. This is a phenomenal band that needs more recognition, i strongly suggest you react to the other tracks in the EP, amazing stuff all around! Thank you for checking them out and spreading the word out there! stay safe.
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
On the European sound, their albums at least used to be mixed and mastered in Finland. It's great that their new material is so good, I thought the second album was a bit of a let down and worried they would be an one album wonder, but their third album and this EP in my opinion surpass their first album.
I understand your point, but I actually really enjoyed their second album, it has some absolute bangers in it. I was never worried about them being a one album wonder, the sheer talent they all have is so obvious that was never in question. Their latest album, Electric Pentagram is their absolute best yet, in my opinion, but the other 2 albums are incredible, even if their second is my least favourite, it´s still better than 90% of what´s out there. It took a second listen to really get into it, while the other two have a higher impact right off the bat. Just my opinion offcourse. Cheers.
Like you say, you know is fantastic before you even hear it! I have ordered two different releases of this EP. One with CD and one with DVD of Winds of Transylvania. I hope you heard it...? It is out. Maybe the May release is about JPU? From what I know, this is about bringing hope, during this crappy times we go through. To see the light...maybe that is what the guy walk towards. Funny to see you smile all the way. Its truly 100% feel good music...something Japan is good at. Band-Maid is another example and it seems its often the same fans. Fantastic bands, that unfortunately are from Japan....that only care about own market...
I've noticed in the past that you've reacted to Shadowmaker, Rising, When Destinies Align and now Glory to the World.... all music videos. I don't recall, however, your ever reacting to one of their live performances, which is where Lovebites shine, or even one of their more diverse tracks other than just pure power metal. Perhaps you should look at some of their live stuff from the DiverCity concerts and see how the ladies take it to a live performance. The Five of a Kind concert is professionally produced with superb sound quality which I'm sure you'll enjoy.
Love your reactions to Lovebites. My favorite band ever. IMO they ate not just power. They are also speed and thrash. If you get a chance, add to your list: The Awakening/ The Hammer of Wrath (live Zepp DiverCity); Break the Wall from the same concert; Winds of Transylvania music video. The Awakening/ The Hammer of Wrath is only the third song in 50 years I've called my favorite. First it was Kashmir by Zeppelin, then Ghost if Perdition by Opeth, and now this song.
I really think that Japan has the most virtuous heavy metal scene right now by far. Dude Lovebites, they are so good. You should also check Dystopia Symphony from this EP.
Hello Friend , yes , Lovebites is more and more and more Epic , Amazing Japanese Power metal band , other level of musicians , greetings from Chile , God bless you .
As I understand it, the guy represents humanity, challenged by the pandemic, "Everything around us will fall into dark, When you keep on looking into the sadness, Nobody in this world may ever be free" then overcoming this by "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" I found it a bit confusing at first also, as many have, but this explanation from band members has clarified and makes sense to me. Also, LOVEBITES is the 'light' in the chapel (not a church) bringing US out of that darkness. I can support that!
Both (blonde shredder) Midori and (lyricist/singer) Asami wrote this with Gospel music in mind, to lead people out of the darkness of a year of fear/isolation (leading the stigmatized guy to the sound & the light). They are truly worldwide now. Victor records did this vid, respresents them in Japan(Asia?). JPU records has long represented them in the UK (US? Europe?), since that was the original target, to be more European influenced Universal classic/thrash/power/symphonic metal, not just for Japanese; and JPU is releasing the CD in May, along with exclusive vinyl versions. And Nuclear Blast takes care of them everywhere else, they've now taken up old-timer classic metallers Anthem as well. Definitely my most played band of the year ;)
nice to see you get really enjoy this song...and totally agree with you, sir...all lovebites' masterpiece are amazing stuff...and, in their latest EP, it shows that these ladies are getting better and better...ya, really top quality music...blistering !!! (i like that word)
It's impossible to not call this epic. This is pretty much the definition of epic. I can't quite figure out why I typically don't like western power metal but love this. That church. Real church? A set? CGI?
That was so good! There's another amazingly good power metal (and folk and progressive) band called "Wuthering Heights" which leaves me gasping afterwards at the experience. Their song "Apathy Divine part 1" is a good one to check, wonder if you could do a reaction to that.
You are indeed correct, it's not gonna appeal to everyone. It is very good & I can appreciate the absolute talent in there, but not my cup of tea at all. I keep trying to like some power metal, but with some of it it's almost like my ears just shut off. Meanwhile. Trollfest. Happy Heroes or indeed their cover of Happy. Something else fun to put a massive grin on your face
Hi! I'm still a bit indecisive regarding this song, to be honest. Yes, it unites all the elements which make Lovebites' sound quite outstanding, but ... it's a bit over-elaborate, too, isn't it? Maybe Lovebites' members wanted to go on on the path they pursued with the anime song (Winds of Transsylvania)? Anyway, the song isn't bad, but a bit too much for my simple taste! If I may give you an advice: please go back to a band you reviewed yet once while wondering about the proposal you had received - that wasn't aiming at the latest release of this band. Being aware of that, you promised to return to the latter and review it, too. Well, not literally, maybe, but something of the kind ... The song I'm talking of is very epic, as Glory to the World by Lovebites is, too, and the band, that plays it, is an all-female band from Japan, a striking similarity to Lovebites, again. In every other respect, however, that song constitutes the direct opposite of Glory to the World. The song of course is 'The Sky Pirates' by Fate Gear, a rather simply structured piece of music, a bit old fashioned as well, sincere and plain, with an unmistakeable shanty attitude. It took quite a long time until I recognized and appreciated what a fine tune it is, with it's beautifully composed melodies, the powerful arrangement, its intentional simplicity. So the sound is sructured very well around the strong vocalist, Nana, and their guest musician Jill with her violin (from Unlucky Morpheus of course). And the fact that this song meanwhile garnered more than a million views in less than half a year offers an excellent occasion for a critique, doesn't it? (Be sure that this is very much for any non-Visual Kei japanese metal band, all-female or not). It should be mentioned, too, that Fate Gear works as a truly independent band, without being backed (and strangled) by a powerful player in the music business. This attitude alone is an irrefutable reason to hold Fate Gear in high esteem and to make them very likeable (They even use crowd funding to finance their international tours). [FATE GEAR - The Sky Pirates - ruclips.net/video/lOznerNYkyo/видео.html] (Please don't mind my slightly ironic tone - if it is discernible at all? Maybe I should rather apologise for all the mistakes I made - I'm aware that I can't hide the fact that English isn't my mother tongue, haha ...) By the way, and quite a bit off topic, did I mention yet that N e m o p h i l a has done some very precious covers of bands like Iron Maiden (The Trooper), AC/DC (Whole Lotta Rosie), Helloween (I want out) and more of the kind. All for sure worth to be listened to! [Nemophila's YT-Channel/videos - ruclips.net/channel/UCvoAeGZoC8giXP59NOZABIAvideos]
It took a few watches but I finally caught on that the guy in the video is portraying Jesus. Note the holes in his forhead from the thorn crown and the nail holes appear in the palm of his hand. Reading the lyrics I get that the song is about having Jesus by your side as you go through life and finding comfort in it. That is just what I got out of it and could be totally wrong. Great song and just awe inspiring as usual. Love these ladies! Thank for reacting to the video.
Interpretation of your lyrics is also one of the correct answers. asami said in an interview with Japanese rock magazine PERPETUAL: The lyrics of this song were written in such a way that it applies to many things, such as to God and to people. I wrote the lyrics with the hope that it would help the listeners, even if only a little.
All the tracks on the new EP are great but there's one called "Paranoia" that is so epically heavy, I nearly started a mosh pit in the middle of Tescos.
Glory Glory to LOVEBITES and all my brothers and sisters of The Wolf Pack everywhere, we are one under their command and shall rule the ruins in their honor and for their glory!!! "Mr Stigmata" was the lost soul they were CALLING TO THEIR healing LIGHT if you had not cut off the damn ending....people always cut off the ending where the guy finally finds them and basks in their GLORY I wish they'd stop doing that...js

Bro, plz check out TRiDENT-Japan all girls trio rock band songs Voltage, No Regret, Utopia, the drummer was Junna crazy kicks drummer before she left the band... :)
Good reaction. For your next Lovebites reaction, please do "Winds of Transylvania" which is a music video of the theme song they created for the Vladlove anime series. ruclips.net/video/HsE4Ub_Pjh8/видео.html
I think the chorus is a bit too cheesy, even for power metal standards. And I also don't like the Jesus bit. Like King of the Hill said: "You're not making Christianity better, you're making Rock'n'Roll worse". But the instrumental parts are still awesome, no doubt. I just hope that this is just a bit of fantasy roleplay for them, since they're Japanese and Japan is usually quite non religious.
Those ladies performance can knock the hell outta ya! They can put most male bands to shame. 🤭
I prefer Lovebites over any all male band in the world now. I won't say they put them to shame, I will just say that too much growling gets boring to me.
@@maxmaidiac2237 Actually metalcore and death metal boring, I prefer more death metal classics bands, I don't like the moderns bands only Lovebites, because is a classical band, people only listen this Arch Enemy and Epica, Nightwish these days🙄
@@abby3734 I really like female bands. Mostly male bands for decades so this new era is a breath of fresh air.
@@maxmaidiac2237 Me too, really love classic metal (Helloween, Iron Maiden, Slayer) but love too more females bands (Lovebites).

They performed live show in my town last week
Sorry to say show was sold out ,
the venue was too small capacity was only 1000
28th May is the date of the UK physical release by JPU records. It's out in Japan now, and the digital version is available everywhere now.
Spotify is free and has All the LoveBites songs even some live ones.
Excellent! Been wondering where I csn get a copy without forking out for a delivery from Japan.

100mph is half-speed for Haruna. When they come back to the UK, DragonForce should support *them*
LOVEBITES is NOT an "opening act" for ANYONE! They are a world-class HEADLINER! Lots of people are talking about Helloween's upcoming tour, and how they should take Lovebites with them. I disagree! Unless Helloween wants to OPEN for LOVEBITES!
One of the best power metal ever. Ladies rule.
This song was written by Midori and Mao ( the former keyboard player of Light Bringer, they collaborate with him frequently) and lyrics written by Asami. It’s the most straightforward song of the EP. they have their most thrash song written by Asami (!) named Paranoia, their most prog song to date written by Miyako named Dystopia Symphony, a great last minute song named No Time to Hesitate and of course the song they have written for the Vlad Love anime Winds of Transylvania.

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
Appreciate so much your reaction to amazing Lovebites.
It seems that man is in a quest to find his destiny.
On the European sound, their albums at least used to be mixed and mastered in Finland.
It's great that their new material is so good, I thought the second album was a bit of a let down and worried they would be an one album wonder, but their third album and this EP in my opinion surpass their first album.

AFAIK, they still use the Nightwish/Finnish mastering team, oft mentioned among the best metal masterers...
Miyako and Midori magic as always, but also...Asami is doing one of her best works in this song!
Not forgetting the backbone of the operation - Haruna and Miho. 💜🐺

@@timgove5337 good to hear from you buddy. looks like we can't measure the limit anymore. Long post got deleted in instant. Be safe my friend
nice to see you get really enjoy this song...and totally agree with you, sir...all lovebites' masterpiece are amazing stuff...and, in their latest EP, it shows that these ladies are getting better and better...ya, really top quality music...blistering !!! (i like that word)
ARIGATO for the nice reaction!! This song was composed by MIDORI(guitar blonde hair).
Good good job MIDORI !!
It's impossible to not call this epic. This is pretty much the definition of epic. I can't quite figure out why I typically don't like western power metal but love this.
That church. Real church? A set? CGI?
A wedding chapel in Japan. Not a church.
@@dregeye Oh, nice!
That church is rapidly becoming the church of metal in Japan since at least two other metal bands have filmed music videos in it!
Miho Miho Miho!
😁 Have nice weekend. Cheers🍺
That was so good!
There's another amazingly good power metal (and folk and progressive) band called "Wuthering Heights" which leaves me gasping afterwards at the experience. Their song "Apathy Divine part 1" is a good one to check, wonder if you could do a reaction to that.
You are indeed correct, it's not gonna appeal to everyone. It is very good & I can appreciate the absolute talent in there, but not my cup of tea at all. I keep trying to like some power metal, but with some of it it's almost like my ears just shut off.
Meanwhile. Trollfest. Happy Heroes or indeed their cover of Happy. Something else fun to put a massive grin on your face
Hi! I'm still a bit indecisive regarding this song, to be honest. Yes, it unites all the elements which make Lovebites' sound quite outstanding, but ... it's a bit over-elaborate, too, isn't it? Maybe Lovebites' members wanted to go on on the path they pursued with the anime song (Winds of Transsylvania)? Anyway, the song isn't bad, but a bit too much for my simple taste!
If I may give you an advice: please go back to a band you reviewed yet once while wondering about the proposal you had received - that wasn't aiming at the latest release of this band. Being aware of that, you promised to return to the latter and review it, too. Well, not literally, maybe, but something of the kind ...
The song I'm talking of is very epic, as Glory to the World by Lovebites is, too, and the band, that plays it, is an all-female band from Japan, a striking similarity to Lovebites, again.
In every other respect, however, that song constitutes the direct opposite of Glory to the World. The song of course is 'The Sky Pirates' by Fate Gear, a rather simply structured piece of music, a bit old fashioned as well, sincere and plain, with an unmistakeable shanty attitude. It took quite a long time until I recognized and appreciated what a fine tune it is, with it's beautifully composed melodies, the powerful arrangement, its intentional simplicity. So the sound is sructured very well around the strong vocalist, Nana, and their guest musician Jill with her violin (from Unlucky Morpheus of course).
And the fact that this song meanwhile garnered more than a million views in less than half a year offers an excellent occasion for a critique, doesn't it? (Be sure that this is very much for any non-Visual Kei japanese metal band, all-female or not).
It should be mentioned, too, that Fate Gear works as a truly independent band, without being backed (and strangled) by a powerful player in the music business. This attitude alone is an irrefutable reason to hold Fate Gear in high esteem and to make them very likeable (They even use crowd funding to finance their international tours).

(Please don't mind my slightly ironic tone - if it is discernible at all? Maybe I should rather apologise for all the mistakes I made - I'm aware that I can't hide the fact that English isn't my mother tongue, haha ...)
By the way, and quite a bit off topic, did I mention yet that N e m o p h i l a has done some very precious covers of bands like Iron Maiden (The Trooper), AC/DC (Whole Lotta Rosie), Helloween (I want out) and more of the kind. All for sure worth to be listened to!

It took a few watches but I finally caught on that the guy in the video is portraying Jesus. Note the holes in his forhead from the thorn crown and the nail holes appear in the palm of his hand. Reading the lyrics I get that the song is about having Jesus by your side as you go through life and finding comfort in it. That is just what I got out of it and could be totally wrong. Great song and just awe inspiring as usual. Love these ladies! Thank for reacting to the video.
Interpretation of your lyrics is also one of the correct answers. asami said in an interview with Japanese rock magazine PERPETUAL: The lyrics of this song were written in such a way that it applies to many things, such as to God and to people. I wrote the lyrics with the hope that it would help the listeners, even if only a little.
Nah... It's not Jesus.... just some dude who took guitar lessons from Midori and Miyako which is why his hands and face are bleeding.
Masterclass for sure. But it is them who are the teachers!
All the tracks on the new EP are great but there's one called "Paranoia" that is so epically heavy, I nearly started a mosh pit in the middle of Tescos.
It helps pass the time when you're in the checkout line. 😁
Good on you, Brother. I agree with your assessment.
Glory Glory to LOVEBITES and all my brothers and sisters of The Wolf Pack everywhere, we are one under their command and shall rule the ruins in their honor and for their glory!!! "Mr Stigmata" was the lost soul they were CALLING TO THEIR healing LIGHT if you had not cut off the damn ending....people always cut off the ending where the guy finally finds them and basks in their GLORY I wish they'd stop doing that...js
A bit nerdy but here is Asami talking about the new EP with English subtitles: ruclips.net/video/lp0exjhO0F8/видео.html

Good reaction. For your next Lovebites reaction, please do "Winds of Transylvania" which is a music video of the theme song they created for the Vladlove anime series. ruclips.net/video/HsE4Ub_Pjh8/видео.html
So this was Orlando Bloom's final act? 😁😁😂
I think the chorus is a bit too cheesy, even for power metal standards. And I also don't like the Jesus bit. Like King of the Hill said: "You're not making Christianity better, you're making Rock'n'Roll worse". But the instrumental parts are still awesome, no doubt. I just hope that this is just a bit of fantasy roleplay for them, since they're Japanese and Japan is usually quite non religious.
