Welcome to the band that has saved metal. Old school, no compromise, flat out..metal. Everything about this band is different. Different look, different outlook, different approach and all from some of the most fan friendly people I’ve ever encountered in 50 years of listening to metal. 5 virtuosos who play to their limits. They have an exhilarating approach to song composition. They aim to make each album to a higher technical standard than the previous one. With that in mind they compose music that they know will be difficult for them at the level of their abilities at that point in time. Then, having written the piece, each member practices and practices until it is no longer a challenge. Then, having recorded the piece, when the time comes, even though some question whether they can pull it off, they incude it in the live set…making it look effortless. Yet with all this technical improvement they still maintain fantastic melodies, harmonies, bass lines, drum fills and vocals that manage to surpass what everyone previously thought was their apex. Best band ever. No viable competition..and the best thing to happen to music this century.
Thank you for reacting to LOVEBITES. LOVEBITES has about 60 songs. Please keep up the good work LOVEBITES. LOVEBITES was formed in 2016 by Miho(Ba) and Haruna(Dr), members of the band "DESTROSE", which went on hiatus in 2015. The girls made their major label debut in 2017 (March 24) with "THE LOVEBITES EP".

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 ----- lyrics: asami music: miyako arrangement: LOVEBITES [miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami] album: Electric Pentagram 01/29/2020
Lovebites are playing mainly power metal, but they touch on several other styles. Their live performances are incredible! You can try next Swan Song with Chopin intro (power), Break the Wall (thrash), Raise Some Hell (fun party song), A Frozen Serenade (prog ballad). The twin leads Midori & Miyako are one of a kind. Their solos and dual harmonies are always well structured and unique. There are a lot of examples for those: Shadowmaker, When Destinies Align, Signs of Deliverance, Scream for Me, and the list could go on. Enjoy the ride!

Welcome, Lovebites never disappointed, lets go to the next song The Hammer of Wrath, live, Tokyo 2021, the presence of every member amazing, thank you reacting Lovebites, nice n sharp reaction 👍👍
The deeper you dive into Lovebites music, the more you will find a mixed bag of metal styles. They have so many different levels to their sound and all of it is epic. They are, in my humble opinion, the gold standard of metal music today.
Dear Just Dunk: every time that I watch this "video" (which is rather frequently) I think of what a damn good job you did with it. Your closing tribute to Miho -- and your greeting to Fami -- are will-stated and, in the former's case, rather touching. Thank you for your work!
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 SOLO: midori / miyako / both 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 ----- lyrics: asami music: midori & Mao arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) album: Glory, Glory To The World 03/10/2021
true - english is not asami's first language. but she does speak it very well although when you have the lyrics then you get it a lot more. but i would say with most metal bands you might understand half of the lyrics anyway. or less. bestest most badass band of beautiful babes to ever exist.
That was fun. You will find surprises in every song and there are 60 of them! Their CDs are all excellent while their LIVE performances really 'flesh out' the songs even more fully, imo. Here is the setlist from the 2-hour 18-song LIVE show "Set the World on Fire" is from: 01. When Destinies Align 02. The Crusade (homage to Maiden's "Aces High") 03. Golden Destination 04. Set The World On Fire < 05. Shadowmaker 06. Today Is The Day 07. Winds Of Transylvania 08. Spellbound 09. The Unbroken 10. A Frozen Serenade 11. Swan Song 12. Glory To The World < LIVE this defines "EPIC!" 13. The Apocalypse 14. M.D.O. 15. Don't Bite The Dust 16. Holy War encore: 17. Thunder Vengeance 18. Under The Red Sky With "little BIG Engine" Haruna pushing-the-envelope right thru the encore. From your 'reaction', I don't think you will be disappointed with any song, but their setlists are deliberate to convey a cohesive message for 'the times' today.

Best metal band in the world. My favorite all-time band. They're amazing. The more you hear, the more astonished you'll become. The talent level is unreal. In addition to Midori and Miyako on guitars, you have Haruna on drums, Miho (or now Fami) on bass, and Asami on vocals. All of them are unbelievable. They're not just power metal, but also thrash, speed, progressive. Love them. I hope you check out some more performances from them. Stand and Deliver is my favorite off of the new album. Where to even begin with their live performances? I suppose I'd suggest Break the Wall live from 2020.
Hallelujah! You have found another brilliant gem 💎 ✨🥰🤘 Btw Haruna the drummer (aka 'Princess Haruna' or simply 'Harupi' ) is NOT a machine. She's a remarkably talented and charming young woman. 🥁💕🤘

LOVEBITES new MV songs Judgement Day, Stand And Deliver(Shoot 'em Down), live songs Break The Wall, The Hammer Of Wrath, Raise Some Hell, Thunder Vengeance, Holy War, When Destinies Align(MV/LIVE) Shadow Maker(MV/LIVE) cover song Pain Killer(Judas Priest) and their live show at Wacken Germany and Bloodstock UK... ASTERISM songs Dawn, Rising Moon, Church, Blaze, Gunfire, watch 16yr/o girl guitar solo's and 7string bass solo's....
Just to clarify something MinstrelBlood said in the live chat, in order to see Destrose videos that include both members of Lovebites (drummer Haruna and bassist Miho) AND the member of Nemophila (guitarist Saki), you will have to watch at least two different videos (which you usually do anyway), as Saki's time in Destrose did not overlap with the time period that Huruna and Miho were there. I'm not schooled enough on Destrose to know which songs came from which lineup, but hopefully some others can make suggestions that cover both eras.
Unfortunately there are no recordings of Destroze with Saki now (they have been removed). Saki played briefly in Destrose (2009/10). I would definitely recommend Skykiller. There you can see how much Saki was ahead of other guitarists and only HAL-CA caught up with her in playing speed.
Congratulations, you just found the best new metal band to come along in decades. In their first five years of existence, they put themselves on par with the greatest bands of metal’s golden age. Other reviewers have described them as alien superheroes disguised as young women, angels, princesses of metal, and angry bridesmaids. They recently went on a year-and-a half hiatus while they searched for a new bassist. They announced the new bassist in October 2022 (see below) and dropped their first new song on December 22. Their new album, “Judgement Day”, was released two months later. 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 founder of the band) had a vision of a new band in the style of the great 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 groups. The four of them then found Asami, the singer, who was doing soul and blues at the time (she was also trained in ballet). Miyako has composed a little more than half 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 and is also getting involved in composing. In mid-2021, Miho left the band she had founded, for personal reasons. They went on hiatus while they searched for a new bassist, and during that time, two of them had babies, even as the band were writing and rehearsing their new album. They recently announced the new bassist, Fami, who is a young phenom and herself a composer and multi-instrumentalist. Their first song with Fami is “Judgement Day” ruclips.net/video/m3uGjp-P7DI/видео.html The instrumentalists studied all the great historical metal bands going back to Purple and Sabbath, through Maiden, Priest, Metallica, Helloween, Slayer etc. 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. They toured with Dragonforce in 2019, and word from those in attendance was that next time around, it will be the ladies headlining. 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 crazy). 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, from the same concert as “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; Perhaps their greatest masterpiece, a showcase of multi-instrumental virtuosity and even classical dance “A Frozen Serenade” ruclips.net/video/Ae8pQVu-RN8/видео.html; And their most reacted-to video, “Holy War”: ruclips.net/video/bgAxpEpEcno/видео.html Miyako is also a virtuoso 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” (official name Étude Opus 10, No. 12 in C minor). 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 Slayer and Metallica vibes, “Break the Wall” ruclips.net/video/5Pc0XK0lNmU/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) While you will sometimes hear you should only react to live clips, as you just saw, their MV’s are epic and worth seeing. Here are three 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 "Winds of Transylvania" ruclips.net/video/HsE4Ub_Pjh8/видео.html. Finally, the audio tracks of some of the new album are up on youtube, and worth checking out. The band clearly came out swinging and wanted to make a statement. Every song on the album is a showcase of their incredible talent and songwriting capabilities. “Stand and Deliver” is a thrasher with a fun video of them in the studio. “Soldier Stands Solitarily”, the final song on the album, is being touted by some as the best thing they’ve done so far-I encourage you to see and decide for yourself! 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!
You've just experienced arguably the best and most talented metal band in the world today. The first track you checked out is speed-power metal and the second is straight thrash (and this was played LIVE). Essentially, the ladies play a seamless blend of speed-power/thrash/prog/neoclassical metal/power ballads. For a bit of neoclassical metal and to witness how truly talented these ladies are, I recommend "Swan Song with Chopin intro" LIVE : ruclips.net/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/видео.html
Lovebites is my fav band, even at the age of 61. May I suggest Ningen Isu, three piece older gentlemen fromn Japan too. ruclips.net/video/CbI79e5iZKs/видео.html
As a hard rock/heavy metal guy myself I would say Lovebites is the one true metal band from Japan that's all talent and killer riffs and no annoying vocals or over the top crap I've noticed with pretty well all the other ones. Except Band-Maid, they kick ass too. Lovebites is #1 in my books.
That is not a Dimebag Dean. Miyako has her own signature guitar with Dean Guitars. And if you look closely, you will see Miyako is around the end of her second trimester of her pregnancy in this concert. I’m in awe of this musician.
With respect, as a father of 5 & grandfather & great-grandfather, I would say closer to start of second trimester than end, but I appreciate and thumbs-up'd your comment &:-) Miyako is certainly unique among all musicians I have been aware of in many decades of life as a musician & music enthusiast. She is phenomenal in every way. Though not Darrell's 'Dimebag signature' model, it is the model he chose to play that later became his 'signature' model, right?
@@dregeye I'm not sure if i missunderstood your question about Dimebag's guitar, but I know for sure that Miyako has her own signature guitar though Dean. As for the time line in Miyako's trimester... I will have to double check when she gave birth. She posted on her social media when the baby was born. She never did get very big during the pregnancy.
She has her own signature guitar from Dean, yes, but apparently there is a lawsuit flying around about it as well as another model she plays that Dean makes. Dean was apparently sued by Gibson for making the Flying V model that is the body for Miyako’s signature guitar, along with them making a model that she plays (not her signature line), based off of the body used in the Gibson Explorer. So her Flying V signature model may be the only one in existence.
@@dregeye Let's not forget that when Darrell was murdered, he was playing Washburn guitars and had a signature model or two through them. Neither company, Dean or Washburn, sells Darrell's signature models anymore. I don't think they have for a long time now.
@@PaleHorseShabuShabu Dean is not producing any Dimebag models because they are being sued by Dimebag's family for not paying the royalties on the sale of the signature guitars. Dean is in a world of hurt these days.
It's not the water or any thing ingested. It's the culture!! The arts are still taught in the school, talent is recognized early and encouraged. Piano lessons can start as early as 3 yo!!! Miyako, black hair, on guitar started at 3 on the piano. When she was 18 she choose to go into Rock/Music and play the guitar. She is self taught, NO Lessons, and the first riffs she learned and played were from Metallica!! Midori, blond hair, began guitar lessons at 20yo. She also attended a vocational school to learn how to build guitars. One she built is for sale in a Tokyo guitar shop, NOT Cheap. There is a neighborhood that is just music stores and Miyako made a tour video of the shops. Did some guitar playing, TOO. Miyako has her own YT channel and there are a number of episodes of her explaining how she has customized them.
maybe you want to see another song on the judgment day album SOLDIER STANDS SOLITARILY - SPIRIT LIVES ON - WE ARE THE RESURRECTION... thanks dude.. 🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥
Midori and Miyako are one of the greatest metal guitarists out there today, but there are some more from Japan...Takayoshi Ohmori (BABYMETAL and more), late (RIP) Mikio Fujioka (BABYMETAL and more), Syo (Galneryus), Shiren (Unlucky Morpheus), Jinya (Unlucky Morpheus), SAKI (Mary's Blood)...and there are more! 😉
I think you need to update your copy and paste. Mary's Blood hasn't been a thing for what, a year or two now? Plus, Galneryus' guitarist is named Syu and the guitarist from the Kami Band is Takayoshi Ohmura.
Little known fact; Haruna the drummer is actually nuclear powered!! Well, maybe not a ‘fact’, but it’s the only reasonable explanation. She’s also 4 foot 11. Small but POWERFUL
When it comes to Lovebites or Band Maid, always watch the live version. Also, that Dean guitar is a signature model for Miyako (that guitarist, who is main songwriter).
Awesome, you reacted to them. Haruna, the drummer is 4' 9". I rest my case. Her double kick, fills, and cymbal work are always on point... the driving force behind the band. M&M talent speaks for itself, Asami's soaring voice always just above the music where it should be, and new bassist Fami is freaking phenomenal. To me, they are the Big 4, Testament, Maiden, Priest, Helloween, and a sprinkle of Motorhead all in one, yet modernized and play at Lovebites speed. It doesn't get any better than this for me. Looking forward to your next Lovebites reaction! 🤘
As you are discovering Japan, is from a different planet. A lot has to do with their education system. Compared to the west it may seem terribly draconian but when it comes to music lessons they appear to treat this subject as important as maths and english in the west.
Lovebites !!! Awesome reaction. I hope you do more of this phenomenal band! Wait until you see the black haired guitarist shred the piano too! To see yet another side of them see "Edge of the World" live. ruclips.net/video/Zr99B4RvaMc/видео.html
That was a compliment. Also I don't exactly think 'I bet they don't use steroids' when I hear bodybuilder. Japan definitely has steroids. If you've ever seen Pride.
@@Dragon-Believer Midori competes in "body fitness" and "bikini fitness" Not "body building" which is classed by weight, vs height for "fitness" development. Often the 'uninitiated' (like myself) lump them all together though they are quite different (as I am learning). Midori is all about fitness, and applies it in LOVEBITES 'demanding' 2-hour performances in platform-heels.
Thanks for doing lovebites. Miyako the guitarist with black hair was 4-5 months pregnant doing this show. And her sponsor is Dean guitars. The first video you did she was using her flying V which was custom built for her. As you saw she uses a Peavy amp and an Orange speaker cabinet. Here she showing off her V: ruclips.net/video/18PdNPwyCiQ/видео.html
Lovebites-here to melt you face and brain. Heavy metal, power metal, thrash, progressive, ballads-you name it, they can do it even live on a very high level-like Dream Theater high level. You aint see nothing yet bro but its a good start. Best metal band in the world right now. Welcome to THE WOLFPACK!

Thrash metal + power metal + speed metal + metal ballads. 🤘LOVEbites🤘
@JustDunk, I just watched part of your "Drum Sessions" LIVE from 4 days ago, starting at about 11min. Very nice drumming! I now imagine that you will continually be fascinated by Haruna's transition work, fills, cymbal accents, etc. As much as I appreciate the guitarists (I play guitar and drums, mostly) it was Haruna's unique (to me) style, her use of precision dbl-kicks as 'fills' while using her extensive array of quick-decay china/splash/crash/bell in melodic ways that got me watching songs repeatedly, over and over. I am 'working on it' on electronic kit (bedroom) and acoustic kit (front room) daily (interspersed with trying to change my picking technique toward 'palm-muting'. (it's been a challenge!) 'Transitions' which LOVEBITES perform masterfully, I predict will draw your attention consistently. sub'd for more LOVEBITES (and maybe some others &:-) 🐺-Pack dreg👁 Your interaction with comments will be very popular (!)
Thanks a lot dreg im super glad you enjoyed me playing drums and yes im absolutely taken back by Haruna’s skills!! I’ve become incredibly and increasingly more inspired to get better at my instruments as well!!
No, Japan is not fuckin' around. You are just scratching the surface. There are dozens of female-led metal and hard rock bands worth checking out. Lovebites and Band-Maid are at the top of the heap, but a lot of others are right on their heels.
if you like guitar solos you should do scream for me daughters of the dawn live tokyo 2019 it has 14 guitar solos in it please let me know what you think

That Glory To The World music video is one of the worst things you will ever experience from Lovebites. Extremely bad English, the "Twilight"-Guy and no live experience. Don't understand why it gets recommended so often.
Midori and Miyako are one of the best metal guitar duo’s today! 🎸🔥🎸🔥🤘
Definitely the best currently
Welcome to the band that has saved metal. Old school, no compromise, flat out..metal. Everything about this band is different. Different look, different outlook, different approach and all from some of the most fan friendly people I’ve ever encountered in 50 years of listening to metal.
5 virtuosos who play to their limits. They have an exhilarating approach to song composition. They aim to make each album to a higher technical standard than the previous one. With that in mind they compose music that they know will be difficult for them at the level of their abilities at that point in time. Then, having written the piece, each member practices and practices until it is no longer a challenge. Then, having recorded the piece, when the time comes, even though some question whether they can pull it off, they incude it in the live set…making it look effortless. Yet with all this technical improvement they still maintain fantastic melodies, harmonies, bass lines, drum fills and vocals that manage to surpass what everyone previously thought was their apex.
Best band ever. No viable competition..and the best thing to happen to music this century.
Real metal, real talents

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

Lovebites are playing mainly power metal, but they touch on several other styles. Their live performances are incredible! You can try next Swan Song with Chopin intro (power), Break the Wall (thrash), Raise Some Hell (fun party song), A Frozen Serenade (prog ballad). The twin leads Midori & Miyako are one of a kind. Their solos and dual harmonies are always well structured and unique. There are a lot of examples for those: Shadowmaker, When Destinies Align, Signs of Deliverance, Scream for Me, and the list could go on. Enjoy the ride!
Power Metal? To me it sounds more like Speed Metal🤷🏼♂️

Welcome, Lovebites never disappointed, lets go to the next song The Hammer of Wrath, live, Tokyo 2021, the presence of every member amazing, thank you reacting Lovebites, nice n sharp reaction 👍👍
The deeper you dive into Lovebites music, the more you will find a mixed bag of metal styles. They have so many different levels to their sound and all of it is epic. They are, in my humble opinion, the gold standard of metal music today.
thank you for your fine reaction. as a musician you can even better appreciate their performances. stick with them, it´s very rewarding.
GODDESSES OF METAL...❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
They're always as awesomely epic as this. Live or MV, they are the best Metal.
Dear Just Dunk: every time that I watch this "video" (which is rather frequently) I think of what a damn good job you did with it. Your closing tribute to Miho -- and your greeting to Fami -- are will-stated and, in the former's case, rather touching. Thank you for your work!
Midori and Miyako always stand out, but I loved the attention you gave to Haruna on drums - she's a beast !!
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
SOLO: midori / miyako / both
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

true - english is not asami's first language. but she does speak it very well although when you have the lyrics then you get it a lot more. but i would say with most metal bands you might understand half of the lyrics anyway. or less. bestest most badass band of beautiful babes to ever exist.
I think we need some new words to describe how fantastic these ladies are. All the words I know dont say enough.
you want to get mind blown? the song Raise some hell, midori runs across the stage in heels.
That was fun. You will find surprises in every song and there are 60 of them! Their CDs are all excellent while their LIVE performances really 'flesh out' the songs even more fully, imo.
Here is the setlist from the 2-hour 18-song LIVE show "Set the World on Fire" is from:
01. When Destinies Align
02. The Crusade (homage to Maiden's "Aces High")
03. Golden Destination
04. Set The World On Fire <
05. Shadowmaker
06. Today Is The Day
07. Winds Of Transylvania
08. Spellbound
09. The Unbroken
10. A Frozen Serenade
11. Swan Song
12. Glory To The World < LIVE this defines "EPIC!"
13. The Apocalypse
14. M.D.O.
15. Don't Bite The Dust
16. Holy War
encore:
17. Thunder Vengeance
18. Under The Red Sky
With "little BIG Engine" Haruna pushing-the-envelope right thru the encore.
From your 'reaction', I don't think you will be disappointed with any song, but their setlists are deliberate to convey a cohesive message for 'the times' today.

Best metal band in the world. My favorite all-time band. They're amazing. The more you hear, the more astonished you'll become. The talent level is unreal. In addition to Midori and Miyako on guitars, you have Haruna on drums, Miho (or now Fami) on bass, and Asami on vocals. All of them are unbelievable. They're not just power metal, but also thrash, speed, progressive. Love them. I hope you check out some more performances from them. Stand and Deliver is my favorite off of the new album. Where to even begin with their live performances? I suppose I'd suggest Break the Wall live from 2020.

🔥LOVEBITES🐺PERFECTION🔥 FOREVER MASTERCLASS 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Just to clarify something MinstrelBlood said in the live chat, in order to see Destrose videos that include both members of Lovebites (drummer Haruna and bassist Miho) AND the member of Nemophila (guitarist Saki), you will have to watch at least two different videos (which you usually do anyway), as Saki's time in Destrose did not overlap with the time period that Huruna and Miho were there. I'm not schooled enough on Destrose to know which songs came from which lineup, but hopefully some others can make suggestions that cover both eras.
Unfortunately there are no recordings of Destroze with Saki now (they have been removed). Saki played briefly in Destrose (2009/10). I would definitely recommend Skykiller. There you can see how much Saki was ahead of other guitarists and only HAL-CA caught up with her in playing speed.
Lovebites is 🔥 Greetings from Argentina P.D. Spanish translation is missing
Congratulations, you just found the best new metal band to come along in decades. In their first five years of existence, they put themselves on par with the greatest bands of metal’s golden age. Other reviewers have described them as alien superheroes disguised as young women, angels, princesses of metal, and angry bridesmaids. They recently went on a year-and-a half hiatus while they searched for a new bassist. They announced the new bassist in October 2022 (see below) and dropped their first new song on December 22. Their new album, “Judgement Day”, was released two months later. 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 founder of the band) had a vision of a new band in the style of the great 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 groups. The four of them then found Asami, the singer, who was doing soul and blues at the time (she was also trained in ballet).
Miyako has composed a little more than half 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 and is also getting involved in composing.
In mid-2021, Miho left the band she had founded, for personal reasons. They went on hiatus while they searched for a new bassist, and during that time, two of them had babies, even as the band were writing and rehearsing their new album. They recently announced the new bassist, Fami, who is a young phenom and herself a composer and multi-instrumentalist. Their first song with Fami is “Judgement Day” ruclips.net/video/m3uGjp-P7DI/видео.html
The instrumentalists studied all the great historical metal bands going back to Purple and Sabbath, through Maiden, Priest, Metallica, Helloween, Slayer etc. 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. They toured with Dragonforce in 2019, and word from those in attendance was that next time around, it will be the ladies headlining.
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 crazy). 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, from the same concert as “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;
Perhaps their greatest masterpiece, a showcase of multi-instrumental virtuosity and even classical dance “A Frozen Serenade” ruclips.net/video/Ae8pQVu-RN8/видео.html;
And their most reacted-to video, “Holy War”: ruclips.net/video/bgAxpEpEcno/видео.html
Miyako is also a virtuoso 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” (official name Étude Opus 10, No. 12 in C minor). 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 Slayer and Metallica vibes, “Break the Wall” ruclips.net/video/5Pc0XK0lNmU/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)
While you will sometimes hear you should only react to live clips, as you just saw, their MV’s are epic and worth seeing. Here are three 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
"Winds of Transylvania" ruclips.net/video/HsE4Ub_Pjh8/видео.html.
Finally, the audio tracks of some of the new album are up on youtube, and worth checking out. The band clearly came out swinging and wanted to make a statement. Every song on the album is a showcase of their incredible talent and songwriting capabilities. “Stand and Deliver” is a thrasher with a fun video of them in the studio. “Soldier Stands Solitarily”, the final song on the album, is being touted by some as the best thing they’ve done so far-I encourage you to see and decide for yourself!
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!
You've just experienced arguably the best and most talented metal band in the world today. The first track you checked out is speed-power metal and the second is straight thrash (and this was played LIVE). Essentially, the ladies play a seamless blend of speed-power/thrash/prog/neoclassical metal/power ballads. For a bit of neoclassical metal and to witness how truly talented these ladies are, I recommend "Swan Song with Chopin intro" LIVE : ruclips.net/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/видео.html
It’s the drummer who gets the work out at their shows. She has to play the whole concert like this song.
Lovebites is my fav band, even at the age of 61. May I suggest Ningen Isu, three piece older gentlemen fromn Japan too. ruclips.net/video/CbI79e5iZKs/видео.html
As a hard rock/heavy metal guy myself I would say Lovebites is the one true metal band from Japan that's all talent and killer riffs and no annoying vocals or over the top crap I've noticed with pretty well all the other ones. Except Band-Maid, they kick ass too. Lovebites is #1 in my books.
Swan Song with Chopin intro
Next LoveBites song: “Break The Wall” Live! 🎸🔥🤘
That is not a Dimebag Dean. Miyako has her own signature guitar with Dean Guitars. And if you look closely, you will see Miyako is around the end of her second trimester of her pregnancy in this concert. I’m in awe of this musician.
With respect, as a father of 5 & grandfather & great-grandfather, I would say closer to start of second trimester than end, but I appreciate and thumbs-up'd your comment &:-)
Miyako is certainly unique among all musicians I have been aware of in many decades of life as a musician & music enthusiast. She is phenomenal in every way.
Though not Darrell's 'Dimebag signature' model, it is the model he chose to play that later became his 'signature' model, right?
@@dregeye I'm not sure if i missunderstood your question about Dimebag's guitar, but I know for sure that Miyako has her own signature guitar though Dean. As for the time line in Miyako's trimester... I will have to double check when she gave birth. She posted on her social media when the baby was born. She never did get very big during the pregnancy.
She has her own signature guitar from Dean, yes, but apparently there is a lawsuit flying around about it as well as another model she plays that Dean makes. Dean was apparently sued by Gibson for making the Flying V model that is the body for Miyako’s signature guitar, along with them making a model that she plays (not her signature line), based off of the body used in the Gibson Explorer. So her Flying V signature model may be the only one in existence.
@@dregeye Let's not forget that when Darrell was murdered, he was playing Washburn guitars and had a signature model or two through them. Neither company, Dean or Washburn, sells Darrell's signature models anymore. I don't think they have for a long time now.
@@PaleHorseShabuShabu Dean is not producing any Dimebag models because they are being sued by Dimebag's family for not paying the royalties on the sale of the signature guitars. Dean is in a world of hurt these days.
The "WOW" band. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Asami asked Lizzy Hail if they could name their band after their song Love Bites.
It's not the water or any thing ingested. It's the culture!! The arts are still taught in the school, talent is recognized early and encouraged. Piano lessons can start as early as 3 yo!!! Miyako, black hair, on guitar started at 3 on the piano. When she was 18 she choose to go into Rock/Music and play the guitar. She is self taught, NO Lessons, and the first riffs she learned and played were from Metallica!! Midori, blond hair, began guitar lessons at 20yo. She also attended a vocational school to learn how to build guitars. One she built is for sale in a Tokyo guitar shop, NOT Cheap.
There is a neighborhood that is just music stores and Miyako made a tour video of the shops. Did some guitar playing, TOO.
Miyako has her own YT channel and there are a number of episodes of her explaining how she has customized them.
maybe you want to see another song on the judgment day album SOLDIER STANDS SOLITARILY - SPIRIT LIVES ON - WE ARE THE RESURRECTION... thanks dude.. 🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥
Welcome the Wolfpack 🤘🐺
Midori and Miyako are one of the greatest metal guitarists out there today, but there are some more from Japan...Takayoshi Ohmori (BABYMETAL and more), late (RIP) Mikio Fujioka (BABYMETAL and more), Syo (Galneryus), Shiren (Unlucky Morpheus), Jinya (Unlucky Morpheus), SAKI (Mary's Blood)...and there are more! 😉
I think you need to update your copy and paste. Mary's Blood hasn't been a thing for what, a year or two now? Plus, Galneryus' guitarist is named Syu and the guitarist from the Kami Band is Takayoshi Ohmura.
@@PaleHorseShabuShabu Idiot, what do you know? Perhaps I'm dyslectic. And SAKI is best known from her works with Mary's Blood. But I guess you're 14
Subtitles would be nice.
Thanks for reacting LOVEBITES!
There are no subs on Set the World on Fire. Tell Lovebites.
Little known fact; Haruna the drummer is actually nuclear powered!!
Well, maybe not a ‘fact’, but it’s the only reasonable explanation. She’s also 4 foot 11. Small but POWERFUL
They are just awesome
One of the most musically talented metal bands on the planet. Possibly THE most talented when you consider Miyako's piano skills.
Break the Wall,live, 2020🔥🐺🤘
Yess!!
Yes. Hammer of Wrath, Shadowmaker, When Destiny Align and many more. 👍👍🤘🤘M'sia here too
When it comes to Lovebites or Band Maid, always watch the live version. Also, that Dean guitar is a signature model for Miyako (that guitarist, who is main songwriter).
Welcome to new territory... welcome to Lovebites!
This is 161 bpm, but they are very comfortable at 226 bpm in other stuff😮
Best band on the planet IMO. Elite all-around. Best dual guitarists in 50 yrs of listening to metal.
Awesome, you reacted to them. Haruna, the drummer is 4' 9". I rest my case. Her double kick, fills, and cymbal work are always on point... the driving force behind the band. M&M talent speaks for itself, Asami's soaring voice always just above the music where it should be, and new bassist Fami is freaking phenomenal. To me, they are the Big 4, Testament, Maiden, Priest, Helloween, and a sprinkle of Motorhead all in one, yet modernized and play at Lovebites speed. It doesn't get any better than this for me. Looking forward to your next Lovebites reaction! 🤘
As you are discovering Japan, is from a different planet.
A lot has to do with their education system. Compared to the west it may seem terribly draconian but when it comes to music lessons they appear to treat this subject as important as maths and english in the west.
Miho Miho Miho! Miho Miho Miho!
Here for my daily Lovebites fix 🐺
Lovebites !!! Awesome reaction. I hope you do more of this phenomenal band! Wait until you see the black haired guitarist shred the piano too! To see yet another side of them see "Edge of the World" live. ruclips.net/video/Zr99B4RvaMc/видео.html
Best metal band and twin guitars ever
🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺
Not performance enhancing drugs the guitarist Midori just recently won 2nd place in a body building competition
That was a compliment. Also I don't exactly think 'I bet they don't use steroids' when I hear bodybuilder. Japan definitely has steroids. If you've ever seen Pride.
@@Dragon-Believer Midori competes in "body fitness" and "bikini fitness"
Not "body building" which is classed by weight, vs height for "fitness" development.
Often the 'uninitiated' (like myself) lump them all together though they are quite different (as I am learning).
Midori is all about fitness, and applies it in LOVEBITES 'demanding' 2-hour performances in platform-heels.
Thanks for doing lovebites. Miyako the guitarist with black hair was 4-5 months pregnant doing this show. And her sponsor is Dean guitars. The first video you did she was using her flying V which was custom built for her. As you saw she uses a Peavy amp and an Orange speaker cabinet. Here she showing off her V: ruclips.net/video/18PdNPwyCiQ/видео.html
Ha ha ha,nothing to say yeah
Lovebites-here to melt you face and brain. Heavy metal, power metal, thrash, progressive, ballads-you name it, they can do it even live on a very high level-like Dream Theater high level. You aint see nothing yet bro but its a good start. Best metal band in the world right now. Welcome to THE WOLFPACK!
Holy war is the best.
It would be nice to see more LOVEBITES reactions videos from you.
I came from bands like Metallica, Iron Maiden, Pantera, Queensryche, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple etc to the Japanese women HM bands.

Bloody Lovebites 🐺 I love'em
@JustDunk, I just watched part of your "Drum Sessions" LIVE from 4 days ago, starting at about 11min.
Very nice drumming!
I now imagine that you will continually be fascinated by Haruna's transition work, fills, cymbal accents, etc.
As much as I appreciate the guitarists (I play guitar and drums, mostly) it was Haruna's unique (to me) style, her use of precision dbl-kicks as 'fills' while using her extensive array of quick-decay china/splash/crash/bell in melodic ways that got me watching songs repeatedly, over and over.
I am 'working on it' on electronic kit (bedroom) and acoustic kit (front room) daily (interspersed with trying to change my picking technique toward 'palm-muting'. (it's been a challenge!)
'Transitions' which LOVEBITES perform masterfully, I predict will draw your attention consistently.
sub'd for more LOVEBITES (and maybe some others &:-)
🐺-Pack dreg👁
Your interaction with comments will be very popular (!)
Thanks a lot dreg im super glad you enjoyed me playing drums and yes im absolutely taken back by Haruna’s skills!! I’ve become incredibly and increasingly more inspired to get better at my instruments as well!!
LoveBites "Holy War" live at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020 will melt your face😉
No, Japan is not fuckin' around. You are just scratching the surface. There are dozens of female-led metal and hard rock bands worth checking out. Lovebites and Band-Maid are at the top of the heap, but a lot of others are right on their heels.
if you like guitar solos you should do scream for me daughters of the dawn live tokyo 2019 it has 14 guitar solos in it please let me know what you think
Lovebites 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥
They're definitely putting something in the sake over in the land of the rising sun and I'm here for it
Why there's a kpop hashtag? Lol.
Lol sorry about that I’m a K-pop fan and I guess I forgot it was in my description…ooops :)
It's ok, I just thought it was funny.
But they're all female. Its crazy

Metal is not dead yet, it's just moving to Japan
That Glory To The World music video is one of the worst things you will ever experience from Lovebites. Extremely bad English, the "Twilight"-Guy and no live experience. Don't understand why it gets recommended so often.
What do you recommend for the next one?
Almost everything else. Live whenever possible.
Lovebites not a good image for kids at least they fade unlike tattoos and gender changes
Midori is the ripped guitarist. She also competes in body building contests.
body-fitness & bikini-fitness. Apparently quite different from "body building" I am learning.
