The MV of this song was the one that broke them to the wider world. There was some initial disbelief that they could really play this, let alone live. Joke was on the doubters!
Guys, amazing reaction, thanks. Lovebites is more than a band, they are an intirely new fenomenon in heavy metal, a new path from and for the newest generations, as they are re-reading many heavy metal tendencies from classical bands and also from classic music and buiding, writing, all these masterpieces. It's a pleasure to listen to their songs so many times and never getting tired of them. It's surprising and amazing!
One thing that is clever with Miyako and Midori is they have the tone settings on their guitar rigs set differently - Midori has a more mid-scooped and bass+treble boosted sound, while Miyako has her rig set-up with the mid-boosted, which is another reason it is easy to tell them apart. No matter the left-pan for Midori and right-pan for Miyako, even with a mono sound system, it is always easy to tell who is playing. This also fills the guitar sound for the rhythm parts. 🤘
One of my favourite Lovebites performances - it's like getting hit by a runaway train ! The guitars , bass and vocals are all excellent but for me the absolute star of this song is Haruna - 6 minutes at 155 bpm without missing a beat and still having time to do a stick twirl or two !
I won’t attempt to guess your ages, but I’m a massive Ritchie Blackmore fan…as well as believing Ronnie James Dio to be the best male rock vocalist ever. On the 1978 Rainbow album “Long Live Rock and Roll” is the song “Gates of Babylon”. I recently learned that the Middle Eastern vibes it gives off are because of a type of phrasing called “Phrygian Dominant”. So the very first time I heard Shadowmaker, I recognised it immediately. The opening and closing “fast” riff section is, to my ears, the riff used in Gates of Babylon (with a slight variation of course) only much faster. Miyako recently confirmed what I previously thought to be hearsay, which is that that she is an admirer of Ritchie, and that is why the Deep Purple classic “Burn” was one of six metal tracks she chose to cover…on the piano, on her recently released EP, “Etude Op 23”.
Watching your smiles watching the solo section is pretty much all you needed with this reaction. You've watched them enough, yet, each time you listen to a new song, you're surprised all over again.
The stage performance of his song has gotten better from the 2017 performance in Europe to the 2021 performance. This song took some time for me to warm up to (don't know why), but once I saw the first live performance, I began liking this song more and more. Now it is one of my favorites. This version, to me, seems like they purposely put more into performing this song and it turned out great.
Hi Asaf and Itai... Yes Yes and Yes... One of my favorite songs and performances by Lovebites.. If you watch the MV the opening riff and drums sound like an inbound huey (Not so much in the mix of this live performance?).. Awesome.. So glad you are reactiong to all these Japanese female bands, the more exposure they get the better!! Best wishes to you both as always from France..
M&M standing close together, shredding is a worth the admission fee that's for sure. These ladies are absolutely magical and just different than any other band I've experienced in 35yrs+ of listening to metal. They are #1 on my bucket list as well...fingers crossed for a US Tour in '24! The harmonization in this song is terrific, but you want to see M&M really locked in together...Signs of Deliverance live ruclips.net/video/ZFNrk19fKgg/видео.html. The thumbnail says it all. 🙂 Great reaction guys! 🤘 Your next reaction: Based on your teaser, I'm going with Nightwish...you mentioned "safe with the singers they've had". NW is one of the more popular YT reaction bands I can think of who've had multiple front woman. Just my guess. 🤔
LOVEBITES - Shadowmaker lyrics: Caught in the noise, my thoughts are destroyed Trapped in the silence, it's so hard to breathe But still I go on, my hunger is strong Hoping that someone will grab my hand Stranded by moonlight I realize the cold of this world Maybe it's too late? No one can save me From all of the darkness and solitude Cry, like shadows of the night I carry all the pain inside to justify why I'm alive Despite going through this hell Cause still my heart has hope No matter if I'm torn apart, I'll play my part Before I drown with secret thoughts of my heart Reckless and fast, how long will I last? Dancing like puppets, I'm empty inside Fighting the fear, and grieving the dear Hoping that someday I'll be repaid Only my echoing heartbeats can prove that I'm here Am I all alone? Even a faint light is too bright for me, I can't see a thing Hide, in shadows I reside I tremble like a heartless soul, no place to go In desolated land knowing no escape But still I wish to live Just waiting for a somebody to notice me Before I fall down to depths of the abyss SOLO: midori / mi-ya / both / miya Caught in the noise, my thoughts are destroyed Trapped in the silence, it's so hard to breathe But still I go on, my hunger is strong Hoping that someone will grab my hand Stranded by moonlight I realize the cold of this world Maybe it's too late? No one can save me from solitude Cry, like shadows of the night I tremble like a heartless soul, no place to go In desolated land knowing no escape But still I wish to live Just waiting for a somebody to notice me Before I fall down to depths of the abyss Like shadows of the night I carry all the pain inside to justify why I'm alive Despite going through this hell Cause still my heart has hope No matter if I'm torn apart, I'll play my part Before I drown with secret thoughts of my heart ----- lyrics: asami music: miyako arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) album: Awakening From Abyss 10/25/2017
in my opinion a top 3 song by them and my favorite personaly . great reaction guys and have a great day. by the way miyako is almost 5 months pregnant during this show!!!!
A beautiful women with beautiful voice sings a beautiful song with beautiful band. ... It's a hi pleasure, guys! The life is beautiful! Do EPICA-"Kingdom of Heaven Part 3." Great, great, great!
Thanks for the reaction. And thanks for your words about Midori and Miyako that they are really the best pair of guitarists in the same band. You confirmed what I write in the comments and tell people for 2.5 years now: today, in terms of teamwork, harmonization / synchronization of guitars, Midori and Miyako are the best pair of guitarists in the World of Metal. And what is very important, what can be added to their phenomenal professionalism and technique, Midori and Miyako have great respect for each other, mutual support and there are no attempts to "pull the blanket over themselves."
In my opinion, Miyako has composed 4 masterpieces, and Shadowmaker is the first of them. The other three are Swan Song, Distopia Symphony, and Soldier Stands Solitarily. To me, her only competition as a composer is Kanami of Band-Maid. I have gotten to see Band-Maid live (as well as Nemophila and Asterism), so now Lovebites needs to play overseas, hopefully somewhere in Texas. Early 2024????
4:05 to 6:20 Belongs to the "TOP 10 Iconic Metal Solos ever", and to the "TOP 10 Iconic Reaction Scenes Ever". Just watch your faces in disbelieve and admiration. The rehearsal footage "Stand and deliver" shows how close Lovebites stand together as friends, and as world class musicians. Heartwarming.
Hello gentlemen! Thanks for the reaction! This is one of their oldest songs, but still one of their best. Love it. Itai, you once said that you're a Gary Moore fan (as am I). So here's something you might be interested in hearing. As you know, Miyako is a classically trained pianist. She released a solo EP last month entitled "Etude Op. 23." On it, she arranged some well known metal songs into the classical style of piano. My favorite on the EP is "The Loner" by Gary Moore. I didn't think it would be possible to capture the essence of such a bluesy song by making it a classical piano piece. However, she was able to do it. Her version of the song is just breathtaking. I've listened to it many, many times already and like it better every time I hear it. The is no music video of it, but you might be able to find it on RUclips. I've also heard that it's on Spotify. I bought my copy of the album on iTunes for like $4.99. Best 5 dollars I've ever spent. I hope you'll check it out. I'm pretty certain that you won't be disappointed. Take care and be safe!
Thank you for following LOVEBITES at all time. Please continue the LOVEBITES from now on. Miyako(G - black hair) chose to use a peavey6505Plus with orange cab〔 Orange PPC212 OB(Open Back Vintage 30) 〕and head to tighten the low frequencies and create a tight spread of sound in the midrange. Midori(G) profiled the peavey6505Plus with a Kemper and chose to use a Marshall cab to give the sound more breadth. Miyako and Midori created a band ensemble. The above is from an interview with Miyako, a content of "Kazuya Yamaguchi" on the RUclips channel. Midori said that since Miyako and I have the same head, there is a synergistic effect when we synchronize. (From the equipment introduction video) In the video unveiling of the new bassist Fami The orange amps in Miyako had already been changed from orange to white for the tolex and from beige to black for the front speaker nets. Apart from the amp used by Miyako, Miyako's signature guitar amp was released to the public by Orangeampsjapan on November 5, 2022.

Hi Guys! Don't know if you're aware of it, but they have released a new live concert video - "The Hammer of Wrath." It's from their upcoming DVD "Knocking at Heaven's Gate" that will be released in August. It is DVD of their first live concert in two years. It's also the first time that we get to see Sami in a live concert. And she featured very prominently. The lighting, sound and photography for the video is top quality. There is an energy and an excitement that I haven't seen from them in a long time. I hope you'll react to it as soon as you're able. I know you'll love it. Peace!
Your Bucket List wish may come true, they are playing in Georgia on September 6th 2024🤘😎😊 Unfortunately the tickets are sold out😢😢😢😢😢 If you know of another way to see/meet them PLEASE let me know! Also, is their EP the greatest ever?🤔
We are from Israel and Australia, so we'll keep waiting to see if they ever hit our necks of the woods... Thank you for taking the time to view and engage. Much appreciated! 🙏
The BEST Heavy Metal Band in the World is LOVEBITES... The BEST Hard Rock Band in the World is BAND-MAID... The BEST Rock Metal & Cover Band in the World is NEMOPHILA... The BEST 3piece Metal Band in the World is ASTERISM....

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

I say it again...

Haruna somehow finds the time to stick twirl while playing at eleventy-billion bpm.
