Haruna "little BIG Engine" drums (4'9"; 1.45m) Asami "The One & Only Voice" vocals (4'10"; 1.47m) Midori "Crazy Shredder" guitar (4'11"; 1.5m) Miyako "The Golden Touch" guitar/piano (5'2"; 1.58m) Miho "Natural Born Head-Banger" bass (5'1"; 1.55m) nicknames given by the band "Bravehearted": ruclips.net/video/MaKtRMiSfMI/видео.html written by "little BIG Engine" !
Midori (EII Horizon guitar) also started on piano, When she was 20 she dropped out of university and went to guitar academy. Midori is endorsed by ESP and Kemper.
I think you'll be coming back to these fine young ladies. They're never less than excellent. McKinzie is going to immediately fall in love with Asami - and her voice! 😍🤘🔥💜🐺
The lead vocalist Asami is a mezzo-soprano with a background in R&B, she is a stage General. Miyako (Dean guitar) is also the keyboardist and main composer of the band. She is a classical trained pianist with a BA degree in music. She’s master on grand piano.
lovebites is the real deal. You just opened a whole new world and tear in the metal genre. I love how lovebites always gets skipped.then when they finally react the have a certain expectation after watching others get totally blown away. Great reaction
The band is named after the Grammy winning Halestorm song Love Bites (So Do I). Lead singer Asami has joined Lzzy and the boys on stage to sing that song.
I'll take your word for it about the gear and the vocals. 😄 This is one of my favorite Lovebites songs. Especially the ominous sounding part before the solos, the solos themselves, and Miyako's 2nd solo toward the end.
Nice to finally see reactors that actually know something about the gear! You should see their pedal boards. Haruna is an amazing drummer. You need to hear her drumming on "Dystopia Symphony".
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 The blue moon colors blaze Stabbing myself with the thunder The predetermined imitation An emotionless and 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 ----- lyrics: asami music: miyako arrangement: LOVEBITES [miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami]
About F time gents! I've been requesting them for awhile now, so thank you! 🙂 These ladies shred like no one's business and are flawless live! The drummer (Haruna) is 4'9" and the dark-haired guitarist (Miyako) playing the dean was 5mos pregnant during this show. May I recommend Break The Wall or Thunder Vengeance, both live. Break The Wall ruclips.net/video/5Pc0XK0lNmU/видео.html - Slayer Reign in Blood vibes Thunder Vengeance ruclips.net/video/yWE7PqCpGi4/видео.html - Old Metallica vibes, show opener, absolute banger / face melter!
Congratulations on finally drawing the best new metal band to come along in decades. In their five years of existence as a band, they set a standard that easily puts them on a par with the greatest bands of metal’s golden age. Other reviewers have described them as alien superheroes disguised as young women, angels sent to save us, princesses of metal, and angry bridesmaids. Whatever the description, I think one can say they have given metal a badly needed makeover and maybe a new lease on life. They have themselves said that part of their mission is to save heavy metal from darkness and obscurity. Some background: They were formed in 2016 from the remnants of a legendary all-girl Japanese metal band called Destrose (yes, all-girl metal has been a thing in Japan since at least 1981). Miho (bass, chief headbanger and soul of the band) had a vision of a new band in the style of the greatest European bands of the golden age of metal. She recruited her former bandmate Haruna (drums, 4'9" “pocket nuclear reactor”); they needed two world-class guitarists, and so they went and found Midori and Miyako, who were with other bands. The whole group then found Asami, the singer, who was doing soul and blues at the time (she also trained in ballet). Miyako has composed most of their music, with Miho composing a lot of their thrashier songs in collaboration with Mao, the lead composer of another band called Lightbringer. Midori has also been getting into the act, and they regularly perform a song written by Haruna as well. Asami writes most of the lyrics. They studied all the great historical metal bands going back to Purple and Sabbath, through Maiden, Priest, Metallica, Helloween, Slayer etc. They toured with Dragonforce in 2019, and word from those in attendance is that next time around, it will be the ladies headlining. They have incorporated some of the best of each of those bands into their arsenal, and have created a sound that is fresh and cutting edge while paying tribute to the old masters. You jumped in the deep end with this as your first reaction. They do everything from soulful power ballads to heavy thrash. Almost every song includes face-melting solos by Miyako and Midori. The two guitarists are quite different in style and tone. Midori (blonde ponytail) is the extrovert and speed demon; Miyako is the introvert, with the more soulful feel (though she can also shred like a demon). Midori uses a cleaner tone, Miyako uses more distortion, pinch harmonics and pedal effects. The contrast makes their duets rich and dynamic. It doesn’t hurt that either one can smoke most of the shredders in the classic metal bands. As another reviewer said, "It seems criminal these two are allowed to be in the same band." Here are more clips you should check out: “Don’t Bite the Dust” ruclips.net/video/oHnKGEj1CMc/видео.html, which, along with "Set the World on Fire, is from their recently released concert DVD “Heavy Metal Never Dies”. "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; “Holy War”: ruclips.net/video/bgAxpEpEcno/видео.html 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. 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) Finally, while you will sometimes hear you should only react to live clips, actually their MV’s are epic and worth seeing. Here are four of the most spectacular: "Shadowmaker" ruclips.net/video/Brmoln5Gxus/видео.html This is the song that blew up and melted faces all over the world "When Destinies Align" ruclips.net/video/hLFelI93VkM/видео.html "Glory to the World" ruclips.net/video/-wJtD2XEXH4/видео.html "Winds of Transylvania" ruclips.net/video/HsE4Ub_Pjh8/видео.html. You'll get lots of suggestions, just one thing: don't bother with Bloodstock footage, the sound quality is poor. Best to take suggestions with actual links. Also, you can’t go wrong with any of their official clips. Welcome to the Wolf-Pack!
GREAT reaction video dudes. What I really like about Lovebites is that they take the sound/spirit of 80's to mid-90's Speed and Thrash Metal, as well as several of the top bands from that era (such as Metallica and Iron Maiden and Megadeth, as well as slightly a bit of Overkill and Slayer and Anthrax and Testament and even a hint of Bolt Thrower), incorporate their own style into that mix and then make it their own unique style. I've also noticed that the two guitarists (Miyako and Midori) use their different styles of playing to kind of push each other to even greater heights. In my opinion in contrast to many of the recent 'so-called' Metal bands that have come around in the last decade or so Lovebites has not only set the bar on what Heavy Metal should sound like, they ARE the bar. Just my own personal opinion anyway. Again, great reaction video. Oh, and by the way, you have a new subscriber.
Wolfpack is here for LOVEBITES! You have seen. And you have heard. And now you know! Wait until you see/hear what else they can do! Check out: "Under The Red Sky" and "Break The Wall" next! ALSO: "Swan Song" with piano etude intro!
Glad you found these ladies.....my favorite new find in the last couple years!! Always appreciate your perspectives and insight to the music we love! Cheers, guys!!
Kemper user here (for a good few years now), and it's definitely a good idea to run directly to front-of-house with them. The cab models are really good, and you can match a lot of different cabs to whatever amp profile you're using. I just run a 1x12 powered cab on an angle-back stand for stage monitoring (unless I really trust the venue engineer to make my guitar audible in my stage monitor). Excellent reaction. Lovebites are the real deal. As are so many Japanese metal bands, a scene in which a lot of female bands/players really stand out. Some all-female J-metal bands y'all might enjoy if you haven't heard them already: Nemophila, Hagane, Hanabie, Bridear, Little Lilith, Doll$Boxx, Mary's Blood, Aldious, Full Moon, Madaseka. From more on the hard rock end, everyone of course calls out Band-Maid, but also Whiskey Dust (old-school LA style sleaze rock ftw!), Trident (the new track, "Spoopy," is really proggy), Gacharic Spin (heavy funk influence, 'specially in the rhythm section), and more. Female players in coed bands that stand out are Fuki and Jill (vocals and violin in symphonic metal standouts Unlucky Morpheus), HAL-CA (guitar shredder in instrumental trio Asterism), Wata (guitar sorceress in long-running doom band Boris). Seriously, the Japanese scene for heavy music is doing great things.
I hope we get more Lovebites, they are great power metal and thrash metal. If you like thrash metal, check out: Break The Wall and Thunder Vengeance Prog. metal for vocal showcase: Frozen Serenade, Edge Of The World Thanks
so, now you´ve got so much information about lovebites. I hope you are not put off by the enthusiasm of the followers (called the wolfpack). and if I might add just a little bit: for aaron: (dean guitarist) miyako is not only a top class classical pianist, but also a guitar and sound nerd too. her main guitar is a beautiful dean icon. she (with the help of a guitar tech) has changed the PUs on her main guitars to fishman fluences. she also changed the electronic to better capacitators from ovaltone. she combines hear peavey top with an orange cabinet (because of the stable build and different sound emitting radius). very nerdy. she said, she´d rather wants to create her sound with the amp, not with a modeller. but she admitted, that she sometimes on tour, when they have to use rented worn out marshalls, she envies blonde guitarist midori for her kempers, cause she always can get the same sound. for anthony: they´ve got so many very good female drummers there in japan. lovebites haruna is one of them. and my favourite drummer is tamu murata (nemophilas drummer). I´ve never heard someone doing the kickdrum like she can. no wonder, she likes dream theatre, opeth and aric improta (night nerves). she has her own yt channel, which is like a goldmine for drummers. here is the link ruclips.net/channel/UCfkjy4YQ-kSURgcXpthq7mg if you´ve read until here, thank you. keep up with making good music and reacting/analysing like this, guys.
It's a great pleasure that you young metal fans also like this cool 80s heavy metal style. Great. All 5 Lovebites women are masters. These Ladies write, compose and arrange their own songs. Almost 50 premium songs in 5 years and not a single weak song. Masters in live playing and geniuses in composing. LOVEBITES: Their gimmick is their ability! - This women play different styles, but always hard and fast. Thrash Metal + Power Metal + Speed Metal + Metal Ballads. We hope for more of you to Lovebites. S u g g e s t i o n s for next reaction V i d e o : Get to know the brutal thrash metal side of Lovebites with one of these songs : ALL LIVE !!! The Hammer Of Wrath - Zepp Diver City live 2020 Thunder Vengeance - Zepp Diver City live 2020 Break the Wall - Zepp Diver City live 2020 Set The World On Fire - live from "Ride For Vengeance Tour 2021 - Tokyo Dome City Hall T h e L o v e b i t e s m o t t o is : "We're not here to be cute, we're here to be heavy" The white clothes: Lovebites women say: "We wear these clothes because we are women and because we don't want to look like 90% of metal bands in the last 35 years".
Lovebites is back with a new album that is killer. Shot to #1 in 8 countries when it came out. Judgement Day is the title track and they have a really cool music video for it.
If your reaction channel is still active I recommend checking out Lovebites' new video entitled Judgement Day. Epic solos from both guitarists. ruclips.net/video/m3uGjp-P7DI/видео.html
If you'd like a little more thrash edge check out their song Break The Wall live from Zepp Diver City. It was written after the guitar player saw Slayer at a festival.
If You ever is going to react to some of their Musicvideos it is When Destinies Align ( oh that solo!!), Winds of Transylvania ( themesong for the anime Vladlove ). Glory to the world for Your singer to react to... Rest of the song, do the live version, from 2019, 2020 and 2021. Do not check the Bloodstock videos, if must you check out how they play with lousy live mixer...
Thanks for your reaction , Lovebites my favorite metal band , please react to When destinies Align , Break the Wall , Shadow Maker , A Frozen Serenade. .......greetings from Chile .
Thanks, great reaction and analysis. The best heavy metal band on the planet, they are the queens of thrash, speed and power metal and even metal ballads too! For more thrash songs try: Break the wall ruclips.net/video/5Pc0XK0lNmU/видео.html The Awakening / The Hammer of Wrath ruclips.net/video/otJZPUCwyOM/видео.html Thunder Vengeance ruclips.net/video/yWE7PqCpGi4/видео.html Asami❤👑 The one and only voice!
welcome to the wolfpack next try out songs SHADOWMAKER WHEN DESTINES ALIGN HAMMER OF WRATH DO LIVE IF POSSIBLE THANKS HAVE A GREAT DAY NICE REACTION GUYS!!!!!!!!
Still time to do Break The Wall! 🙂 Been a hot minute since your 1st reaction and by the feedback, well received. Hoping you'll do another. Recommend Break The Wall live ruclips.net/video/5Pc0XK0lNmU/видео.html. Such contrasting solos, definitely worth seeing, and Haruna's drum rolls are F sweet! Happy 4th!
Apparently I'd missed this song, so this was new for me despite being a band I love If/when you come back to them (and you definitely should) I think you should go for Swan Song, with the Chopin intro. Really fun to listen to and I think it shows a lot of their skill ruclips.net/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/видео.html
I recommend a magnificent epic that is said to be their masterpiece. Pls react to this song next time. You'll be more surprised.🤘🐺🐺🤘 LOVEBITES - Swan Song [+Chopin Intro] (Five of a Kind, 21/02/2020) - 🤘Eng lyrics can be seen in the video.
asami can sing without any im not going to spell itbecause i wont come close but i believe it starts with a V when you were comparing to her to bruce dickensons from iron maiden which if you didnt know Miho the bassist who is the founder and leader is a huge iron maiden fan and molded their sound after them but asami can also sing many different ways
I recently discovered this band and can honestly say they are the most talented metal band that’s ever existed. No American guitar player can come to either one of these ladies
New release！！「Save Yourself」by ONE OK ROCK .Please wacth! The English music video for this song is on the "Fueled By Ramen" official channel, not the official channel of ONE OK ROCK
Welcome to the Wolfpack you have been Lovebitten ]:) Next I would suggest either Holy War ruclips.net/video/bgAxpEpEcno/видео.html , Hammer of Wrath ruclips.net/video/otJZPUCwyOM/видео.html or Break The Wall ruclips.net/video/5Pc0XK0lNmU/видео.html
Miyako switched toEVH 5150's. They're a knockoff of Soldano SLO's,. EVH bought 3 SLO's un 1 week and aent one to Peavy. End of atory. The Soldano SLO's are badass. Wish I was gigging one. Miyako is a virtuoso. She gas a new overdrive pedal as well. It's difficult to keep up with pedals. I have an assortment of boosters-l love the Klon tone. Add a couple of overdrives,. it's nice to have different dirt. I miss the old days; 100 watt Marshalls and a Rat and a Boss. Simple Arkane has an ample oedal board. She running-or was running an Ep booster, awesome. some..light crunch.
f you didnt know Miyako the black hair guitarist is said by many people to be the greatest guitarist to ever come out of japan and if you like Lovebites react to Holy War, Thunder Vengeance, Rising, Raise Some Hell, Edge of the World, Glory to the World, Swan Song with Chopin intro, Epilogue, Empty Daydream Shadowmake, When Destines Align and Eagles Fly Free please react to all of these and please let me know what you think

The drummer, Haruna, goes at that pace the entire concert! Rumor is she is nuclear powered. Midori (Blond ponytail) picked the guitar when she was 20yo and Miyako (black hair) picked up the guitar at 17/18yo, no lessons, got a guitar and a "how to" book. Miho (bass) founder of the band with Haruna has left the band. So they put out a worldwide search, now at the review of audition recording with final decision in August. Did you get your Band Maid tickets for their US tour?
You reactors always make me laugh, I love in Australia, lovebites comes from Japan , yet never heard of your band , why would that be you think, have one idea , lovebites is better than you, with all your talk of their amps and drums and stuff like that, you sure that it's that stuff that makes them good, don't think so , it's lovebites as a whole , they are just great,
Best band on the planet.
🤘😝🤘
welcome to the world of Lovebites the world of beautiful heavy, power, speed, thrash metal.
The drummer, Haruna, uses a custom rack because she is only 4'9" and the kit has to be specially configured to allow her to reach everything.
She is incredible. My bias and I adore her beyond words. Hardest working dummer in the business
Audio Dudes are the same as Nightwish, Finnish engineers Mikko Karmila and Mika Jussila - Finnvox Studios
That was what I had heard before.
Welcome to the world of Lovebites the best heavy metal band existing on planet earth 🌏....NOW.

Midori she's a natural, body builder, shredder.I'm in love with her hahaha
lovebites is the real deal. You just opened a whole new world and tear in the metal genre. I love how lovebites always gets skipped.then when they finally react the have a certain expectation after watching others get totally blown away. Great reaction
Metal Goddesses...🔥🔥🔥🤘🐺
Lovebites is worth focusing all your attention on because every song is killer. Please do more.
The band is named after the Grammy winning Halestorm song Love Bites (So Do I). Lead singer Asami has joined Lzzy and the boys on stage to sing that song.
Lovebites is also another name for hickies 😊
All glory to LOVEBITES and all my brothers and sisters of The Wolf Pack everywhere! Best metal band to come along in 20 years.
Lovebites are amazing beyond words
I'll take your word for it about the gear and the vocals. 😄 This is one of my favorite Lovebites songs. Especially the ominous sounding part before the solos, the solos themselves, and Miyako's 2nd solo toward the end.
Yeah, LOVEBITES is the Real Deal🔥
Awesome band...we need more Lovebites 🤘🏽🔥
Nice to finally see reactors that actually know something about the gear! You should see their pedal boards.
Haruna is an amazing drummer. You need to hear her drumming on "Dystopia Symphony".
Was hoping you would check out Lovebites for a while now, so that's cool. Awesome band.
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
The blue moon colors blaze
Stabbing myself with the thunder
The predetermined imitation
An emotionless and 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

Miyako, the black haired guitarist playing the Dean USA Icon, was 4 to 5 months pregnant when this video was recorded.
She was playing a Dean ML. The ML she uses for the down tuned songs and the Icon for standard tuning.
About F time gents! I've been requesting them for awhile now, so thank you! 🙂 These ladies shred like no one's business and are flawless live! The drummer (Haruna) is 4'9" and the dark-haired guitarist (Miyako) playing the dean was 5mos pregnant during this show.
May I recommend Break The Wall or Thunder Vengeance, both live.
Break The Wall ruclips.net/video/5Pc0XK0lNmU/видео.html - Slayer Reign in Blood vibes
Thunder Vengeance ruclips.net/video/yWE7PqCpGi4/видео.html - Old Metallica vibes, show opener, absolute banger / face melter!
As for Break the Wall, I'd rather go with Testament-Over the Wall-vibes! ;) Anyway, it's Thrash Metal heaven!
@@MissLoonasSpeech I dig Testament (Shd be included in big 4 of thrash) and I can hear their influence in LB!
My Lovebites 🏴 🐺🤘...Beautiful Goddesses with unlimited talent.
Something else, aren't they? Best metal band out there IMO. They threw the book right out the window and wrote their own. 🤘🐺🤘
🤘❤️☠️🔥SGBC!!!! 🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺WOLFPACK!!!!!

Congratulations on finally drawing the best new metal band to come along in decades. In their five years of existence as a band, they set a standard that easily puts them on a par with the greatest bands of metal’s golden age. Other reviewers have described them as alien superheroes disguised as young women, angels sent to save us, princesses of metal, and angry bridesmaids. Whatever the description, I think one can say they have given metal a badly needed makeover and maybe a new lease on life. They have themselves said that part of their mission is to save heavy metal from darkness and obscurity. Some background:
They were formed in 2016 from the remnants of a legendary all-girl Japanese metal band called Destrose (yes, all-girl metal has been a thing in Japan since at least 1981). Miho (bass, chief headbanger and soul of the band) had a vision of a new band in the style of the greatest European bands of the golden age of metal. She recruited her former bandmate Haruna (drums, 4'9" “pocket nuclear reactor”); they needed two world-class guitarists, and so they went and found Midori and Miyako, who were with other bands. The whole group then found Asami, the singer, who was doing soul and blues at the time (she also trained in ballet).

Midori has also been getting into the act, and they regularly perform a song written by Haruna as well. Asami writes most of the lyrics.

"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.

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)
Finally, while you will sometimes hear you should only react to live clips, actually their MV’s are epic and worth seeing. Here are four of the most spectacular:
"Shadowmaker" ruclips.net/video/Brmoln5Gxus/видео.html This is the song that blew up and melted faces all over the world

LOVEBITES is a wonderful band that Japan is proud of.
I am happy that these girls are recognized by foreigners as a Japanese person.
Lovebites - When Destinies Align, Shadowmaker, Rising, The Crusade, Break the Wall, ....
GREAT reaction video dudes.
What I really like about Lovebites is that they take the sound/spirit of 80's to mid-90's Speed and Thrash Metal, as well as several of the top bands from that era (such as Metallica and Iron Maiden and Megadeth, as well as slightly a bit of Overkill and Slayer and Anthrax and Testament and even a hint of Bolt Thrower), incorporate their own style into that mix and then make it their own unique style.
I've also noticed that the two guitarists (Miyako and Midori) use their different styles of playing to kind of push each other to even greater heights.
In my opinion in contrast to many of the recent 'so-called' Metal bands that have come around in the last decade or so Lovebites has not only set the bar on what Heavy Metal should sound like, they ARE the bar.
Just my own personal opinion anyway.
Again, great reaction video.
Oh, and by the way, you have a new subscriber.
Wolfpack is here for LOVEBITES! You have seen. And you have heard. And now you know!
Wait until you see/hear what else they can do! Check out: "Under The Red Sky" and "Break The Wall" next!
ALSO: "Swan Song" with piano etude intro!
If you want to hear antoher solo from two guitarist, you can check mv lovebites winds of transylvania
You have to do more of this phenomenal band - this was awesome!!!
I'M IN LOVE WITH MIHO'S SET.
Glad you found these ladies.....my favorite new find in the last couple years!! Always appreciate your perspectives and insight to the music we love! Cheers, guys!!
Kemper user here (for a good few years now), and it's definitely a good idea to run directly to front-of-house with them. The cab models are really good, and you can match a lot of different cabs to whatever amp profile you're using. I just run a 1x12 powered cab on an angle-back stand for stage monitoring (unless I really trust the venue engineer to make my guitar audible in my stage monitor).
Excellent reaction. Lovebites are the real deal. As are so many Japanese metal bands, a scene in which a lot of female bands/players really stand out. Some all-female J-metal bands y'all might enjoy if you haven't heard them already: Nemophila, Hagane, Hanabie, Bridear, Little Lilith, Doll$Boxx, Mary's Blood, Aldious, Full Moon, Madaseka. From more on the hard rock end, everyone of course calls out Band-Maid, but also Whiskey Dust (old-school LA style sleaze rock ftw!), Trident (the new track, "Spoopy," is really proggy), Gacharic Spin (heavy funk influence, 'specially in the rhythm section), and more. Female players in coed bands that stand out are Fuki and Jill (vocals and violin in symphonic metal standouts Unlucky Morpheus), HAL-CA (guitar shredder in instrumental trio Asterism), Wata (guitar sorceress in long-running doom band Boris). Seriously, the Japanese scene for heavy music is doing great things.
Hi guys. Lovebites is something
special. Talented, pro's musicians, gorgeous but nasty. A lot of friend comment down here. Great reaction guys
I hope we get more Lovebites, they are great power metal and thrash metal.
If you like thrash metal, check out: Break The Wall and Thunder Vengeance
Prog. metal for vocal showcase: Frozen Serenade, Edge Of The World
Thanks
Nice review, I learned a lot
YES...........would love too see you do more of the Metal Goddesses, try, " A Frozen Serenade," live.❤🎙🎸🎹🥁😎👌
This band has no peer.
Drummer Haruna is 4’9” so she has a custom set so she can reach everything. She is a goddess. Always in awe hearing her beat those drums to death!
These ladies pick up the classic metal torch and run hard with it.
"We are LOVEBITES and we play Heavy Metal"

(Congratulations to Asami and her newborn girl ❤)
guys, good to see you reacting again. you just discovered something very good.
so, now you´ve got so much information about lovebites. I hope you are not put off by the enthusiasm of the followers (called the wolfpack). and if I might add just a little bit:
for aaron: (dean guitarist) miyako is not only a top class classical pianist, but also a guitar and sound nerd too. her main guitar is a beautiful dean icon. she (with the help of a guitar tech) has changed the PUs on her main guitars to fishman fluences. she also changed the electronic to better capacitators from ovaltone. she combines hear peavey top with an orange cabinet (because of the stable build and different sound emitting radius). very nerdy. she said, she´d rather wants to create her sound with the amp, not with a modeller. but she admitted, that she sometimes on tour, when they have to use rented worn out marshalls, she envies blonde guitarist midori for her kempers, cause she always can get the same sound.
for anthony: they´ve got so many very good female drummers there in japan. lovebites haruna is one of them. and my favourite drummer is tamu murata (nemophilas drummer). I´ve never heard someone doing the kickdrum like she can. no wonder, she likes dream theatre, opeth and aric improta (night nerves). she has her own yt channel, which is like a goldmine for drummers. here is the link ruclips.net/channel/UCfkjy4YQ-kSURgcXpthq7mg
if you´ve read until here, thank you.
keep up with making good music and reacting/analysing like this, guys.
It's a great pleasure that you young metal fans also like this cool 80s heavy metal style. Great.
All 5 Lovebites women are masters. These Ladies write, compose and arrange their own songs. Almost 50 premium songs in 5 years and not a single weak song. Masters in live playing and geniuses in composing.
LOVEBITES: Their gimmick is their ability! -
This women play different styles, but always hard and fast. Thrash Metal + Power Metal + Speed Metal + Metal Ballads.
We hope for more of you to Lovebites. S u g g e s t i o n s for next reaction V i d e o : Get to know the brutal thrash metal side of Lovebites with one of these songs : ALL LIVE !!!

The white clothes: Lovebites women say: "We wear these clothes because we are women and because we don't want to look like 90% of metal bands in the last 35 years".
These girls are awesome
Great review, guys! I've never given them a chance, but now I'm considering checking out a full performance on YT
Two words: Thunder Vengeance ruclips.net/video/yWE7PqCpGi4/видео.html; opening song from 2020 show. THAT is how you open a metal concert.
Lovebites is back with a new album that is killer. Shot to #1 in 8 countries when it came out. Judgement Day is the title track and they have a really cool music video for it.
These Ladies are on the their own peak and watch down the earth from Olimpus. Stay safe. Stay Lovebites.
If your reaction channel is still active I recommend checking out Lovebites' new video entitled Judgement Day. Epic solos from both guitarists. ruclips.net/video/m3uGjp-P7DI/видео.html
LOVEBITES🔥🤘🐺🤘🔥
They are amazing, lets go for next song, the hammer of wrath, live Tokyo 2021, thank you reacting Lovebites, carry on, tons to go 👍👍👍
If you'd like a little more thrash edge check out their song Break The Wall live from Zepp Diver City. It was written after the guitar player saw Slayer at a festival.
If You ever is going to react to some of their Musicvideos it is When Destinies Align ( oh that solo!!), Winds of Transylvania ( themesong for the anime Vladlove ). Glory to the world for Your singer to react to... Rest of the song, do the live version, from 2019, 2020 and 2021. Do not check the Bloodstock videos, if must you check out how they play with lousy live mixer...

Damn...Lovebites...soo Good 🔥🔥🔥🤘😼🤘
These women are incredibly talented group. Fairy dress indeed. i don't understand a word of Japanese , but I think Metal Mothra is on its way.
That's OK if you don't know Japanese - Lovebites sings in English.
Still time to do Break The Wall! 🙂
Been a hot minute since your 1st reaction and by the feedback, well received. Hoping you'll do another.
Recommend Break The Wall live ruclips.net/video/5Pc0XK0lNmU/видео.html. Such contrasting solos, definitely worth seeing, and Haruna's drum rolls are F sweet! Happy 4th!
Need to check out swan song with the intro next
Apparently I'd missed this song, so this was new for me despite being a band I love
If/when you come back to them (and you definitely should) I think you should go for Swan Song, with the Chopin intro. Really fun to listen to and I think it shows a lot of their skill
ruclips.net/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/видео.html
I recommend a magnificent epic that is said to be their masterpiece. Pls react to this song next time. You'll be more surprised.🤘🐺🐺🤘 LOVEBITES - Swan Song [+Chopin Intro] (Five of a Kind, 21/02/2020) - 🤘Eng lyrics can be seen in the video.
asami can sing without any im not going to spell itbecause i wont come close but i believe it starts with a V when you were comparing to her to bruce dickensons from iron maiden which if you didnt know Miho the bassist who is the founder and leader is a huge iron maiden fan and molded their sound after them but asami can also sing many different ways
I recently discovered this band and can honestly say they are the most talented metal band that’s ever existed. No American guitar player can come to either one of these ladies
More...
Th algorithm gave me this video just now; would like to like but apparently I already did way back when.
Great reaction boyz
This is the best female heavy Metal Band i ever heard
Iron Maiden influenc
Great reaction and analysis. Want even heavier do Break the Wall live at Zepp DiverCity.
New release！！「Save Yourself」by ONE OK ROCK .Please wacth!
The English music video for this song is on the "Fueled By Ramen" official channel, not the official channel of ONE OK ROCK
🤘🐺🥁Harupi🔥
Welcome to the Wolfpack you have been Lovebitten ]:) Next I would suggest either Holy War ruclips.net/video/bgAxpEpEcno/видео.html , Hammer of Wrath ruclips.net/video/otJZPUCwyOM/видео.html or Break The Wall ruclips.net/video/5Pc0XK0lNmU/видео.html
Miyako switched toEVH 5150's. They're a knockoff of Soldano SLO's,. EVH bought 3 SLO's un 1 week and aent one to Peavy. End of atory.
The Soldano SLO's are badass. Wish I was gigging one. Miyako is a virtuoso. She gas a new overdrive pedal as well. It's difficult to keep up with pedals. I have an assortment of boosters-l love the Klon tone. Add a couple of overdrives,. it's nice to have different dirt.
I miss the old days; 100 watt Marshalls and a Rat and a Boss. Simple Arkane has an ample oedal board. She running-or was running an Ep
booster, awesome. some..light crunch.
f you didnt know Miyako the black hair guitarist is said by many people to be the greatest guitarist to ever come out of japan and if you like Lovebites react to Holy War, Thunder Vengeance, Rising, Raise Some Hell, Edge of the World, Glory to the World, Swan Song with Chopin intro, Epilogue, Empty Daydream Shadowmake, When Destines Align and Eagles Fly Free please react to all of these and please let me know what you think

Let's just see where this goes?
The drummer, Haruna, goes at that pace the entire concert! Rumor is she is nuclear powered. Midori (Blond ponytail) picked the guitar when she was 20yo and Miyako (black hair) picked up the guitar at 17/18yo, no lessons, got a guitar and a "how to" book.
Miho (bass) founder of the band with Haruna has left the band. So they put out a worldwide search, now at the review of audition recording with final decision in August.
Did you get your Band Maid tickets for their US tour?
🤘🐺🤘
Well explained.... BUT... What the hell did you think about the song??
Much Love to you and Ukraine 🌻🌻🌻💙💛💙
Ok but did you like it?
Wolfpack JP🇯🇵
Great reaction guys,pls do HOLYWARS live
I see Metallica T-shirt, I wish Thunder Vengeance the next reaction :D

Yes!!! LOVEBITES - a unique, powerful group! 🤘Ladies (🐺Miho 🐺Midori 🐺 Haruna 🐺 Asami 🐺Miyako) are extremely talented! Great song, 🔥 great concert 🔥!
You reactors always make me laugh, I love in Australia, lovebites comes from Japan , yet never heard of your band , why would that be you think, have one idea , lovebites is better than you, with all your talk of their amps and drums and stuff like that, you sure that it's that stuff that makes them good, don't think so , it's lovebites as a whole , they are just great,
Hope you guys check out some of the new Nemophila stuff as well, thanks for the reaction!
