"this definitely needs to be played live" applies to every song they have and you know they can do them all live the live version of winds of Transylvania proves that lol
Asami wrote the music and said she went for pure impact on this song. She said she worked out the guitar riffs on a keyboard. (Easier to work with their arranger Mao, who's a keyboardist, that way too.) When asked about that, Midori said she sometimes figured out her guitar solos on a keyboard, particularly when she wanted more melodic phrases. Miyako isn't the only LB member who knows her way around a keyboard.
I'd be more surprised if a singer doesn't know something about how to paly piano/keyboard. My wife took classical vocal lessons for seven years and has never taken piano lessons, yet she can sit at our keyboard and play just because there are a lot of music concepts that translate easily.
@@PaleHorseShabuShabu I very vaguely remember Asami saying somewhere that she can do more on piano than play "Chopsticks" and "I Stepped on the Cat" ("Flea Waltz"). Music education is comparatively advanced in Japanese secondary schools with many music clubs (though under threat of budget cuts and re-prioritizations of curriculums), there's a huge number of music schools, and as far as I'm aware just about all the members of the Japanese bands I follow have had some degree of formal training in theory and/or performance.
@@hiawatha.g Interview with Miho at a new channel called The Heavier Japan. As was predictable, the Gaijin Guys picked up the scent and descended on the comments section, one of them asking for a collab. Dang the GGs are scary. Heavier Japan should be very careful.
The way Haruna plays with the guitars during the solos!! What a beast!! I always love her choices!! 🤘🐺🥁🔥✨ This song needs to be played Live!!! Also that bridge after the solos is freaking fantastic!! Livestream concert sounds awesome!! 🤘🐺🤘
Definitely top 5 Lovebites song for me. It's fast, it's brutal, but yet so melodic in the chorus. My favorite from the EP. And yes, I really do wish they'd play it live some day.
I’m awestruck that each member has so much musical knowledge. They can all write tracks that many bands would never create in a lifetime. They’re going to blow everyone away with the new material. I don’t think this band has a peak.
Honestly, I think that all this awesomeness comes from the ability to surprise the listener. Lovebites are all really solid musicians and I’m sure they are choosing not only a world class bass player to replace Miho, but a composer too. Thanks for your reaction! 🐺🤘🏻
This song is amazing. Cant wait to see them play this song live. mid August is when Lovebites is doing the final audition and they should have the new bass player chosen. Still not sure when the announcement will be made though
hey i meant to ask you - as you have all the answers - was it invitation to the theater where they played mastermind 01 the only time i heard it in a live? thought i saw it one time on youtube

LOVEBITES - Paranoia lyrics: 'Your mind is all poisoned' they said They tie up my hands and feet 'There's nothing to be scare' they said I cannot speak 'cause of the side effect 'Relax and go to sleep' The white coats are peeking down 'Let's perform the exorcism' 'I know who I am, yes' I said But I have been thrown away 'Get me out of here now' I said But they won't listen to what I'm saying 'What do you want from me' I said They have such a creepy smile Flourescent lights go on and off Lights penetrate straight to my eyes Sharp needle pointing to me Getting so sick of all the mess, no salvation Here we come, beautiful world Dancing in the night and day, lit under the moonlight And here we come, crazy numb world Slowly I'm sinking down and falling to heaven Angel or a demon Good or bloody evil Pleasure or a pain Responsive impulses Breakdown or a cure A hatred or a love A chaos or silent peace Confusion-disorder 'Your mind is all poisoned' they said They tie up my hands and feet 'There's nothing to be scared' they said I cannot speak 'cause of the side effect 'Relax and go to sleep' they said The white coats are peeking down 'Let's perform the exorcism' Light penetrate straight to my eyes Sharp needle pointing to me Getting so sick of all the mess, no salvation Here we come, beautiful world Dancing in night and day, lit under the moonlight And here we come, crazy numb world Slowly I'm sinking down and falling to heaven ----- lyrics: asami music: asami & Mao arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami)
Yeah, LB has only played four shows since this EP was released. The third of those was released as "Heavy Metal Never Dies." Nothing has been announced yet, but they did post a new single wolf logo on Facebook. I'm trying not to read anything into it as it could just be an additional logo for new merch, but we'll see. Speaking of live shows, BAND-MAID just played their first show with a live audience in two and a half years when they opened Download Japan. Even though they were on opposite ends of the card, it would still be wild to see B-M and Dream Theater at the same show.
this one is in the top 3 of my favorite songs with "set the world on fire" and "winds of transylvania". The intro is a masterpiece the heaviness of the sound and the speed combined makes this track an exception in their discography.
Thanks for more LOVEBITES! This song in particular! 2:05 This IS a "soundtrack" to Asami's story, with visuals 'created' by her words. Frank Zappa might call it a "movie for your ears". To my ears, the darkest yet most timely & appropriate 'story' of all... addressing worldwide challenges in 'real-time'. Less 'cryptic' than most of their dark themes, clearly describing distressing circumstances. Musically, the gradual development, increasing intensity, building until we are thrust into a 'scene' of 'one' resisting involuntary-intimacy. I truly appreciate your obvious recognition of their unrelenting virtuosity in conveying such emotion even before any words are spoken to clarify the 'scene' we are encouraged to 'visualize'. 4:21 A fellow drummer (you) states "I still don't understand how her little legs can go that fast ..." (I'm still working on that myself! practice!, Practice!!, PRACTICE!!!) 4:40 "This is ... This is Metal (!)" music by Asami & Mao!! Who also wrote "Winds Of Transylvania" ! 5:25 A 'trademark' aspect of LOVEBITES... take us to 'hell' ... then find some positivity, transitioning to major-chords & LIFTING us out of the distress into "Here we come, beautiful world, dancing in night & day, lit under the moonlight..." This is what keeps me embracing LOVEBITES minute-by-minute, hour-after-hour, day-after-day, FEEDING the empowerment I NEED to remain "ME" in this "crazy numb world". How they can 'understand' and convey such 'meaning' in a 'foreign' language is difficult to comprehend, though I am eternally grateful... 6:22 the individual solos depicting the melodic-chaos, yet transitioning to the positivity of major-chords for the unity of harmony-duet to 'prep' us for the extreme polarity of human experience, "Angel or a demon ... chaos or silent peace ..." Continuing, this 'story' must be repeated to be absorbed adequately, in the mind, in the body, in the heart & soul of humanity. "... sinking down and falling to heaven" !! and from "Holy War" : "the world is beautiful, worth fighting for" *I do appreciate your 'repeat-solos' format, though I hope you and all others explore their music ASAP in the 'form' LOVEBITES presents them, be it a CD uninterrupted from start-to-finish, or a full Concert experience, dedicating 2 continuous hours to fully & properly ABSORB the phenomenal combination of unsurpassed compositions musically & lyrically, including all solos & duets, their relentless virtuosity in performance accompanied by such appropriate-to-song/subject-matter stage presence & interaction with each other and audience, their STAMINA in physicality & Asami's vocalizing throughout with the latter songs being at least equally demanding as the beginning! Never an indication of fatigue or faltering in ability right through their JOYOUS finále of affection for each other and the audience. (I suppose a brief pause between Main Set & Encore could be considered acceptable &:-) 13:14 So glad to know you and your viewers will be enjoying a full concert (twitch) in the near future. This is what truly reveals the awesome power and depth-of-meaning that LOVEBITES brings. All 'in my opinion' of course ...
Thanks for all of that insight and information. As for taking it all in without interruption...Make sure you are following me on Twitch! Lovebites Full Concert coming up!
Can you even imagine Lovebites doing a really slow ballad? I know they are deemed power metal, but they are speed metal personified also. The beginning was epic for sure!! This song is freaking amazing. I'll let you know when I don't hear an amazing song from them (birds chirping). This would be awesome live. Another band I love is Opeth, and they have a song Funeral Portrait which I think they only once played live. This song is that equivalent, and this needs to be played live at least once and recorded. Please, name me a better guitar duo that you have ever heard, and I mean ever. I can't come up with one, nor can I even come up with a tie. They are technical perfectionists, and their contrasting styles become one when harmonizing. And never loose sight of the sound engineers.

Hell Yeah!
Hell yes...... THIS IS THE GREAT LOVEBITES. Love them. This song is amazing!!!!!!
Hell yes indeed!
HARUNA man, so unassuming and then completely blows my mind every time. 🤘🐺🤘
Amen to that brother!

I've heard of other musicians who do similar things. Sounds like a great plan!

Oh yeah, for sure!
The way Haruna plays with the guitars during the solos!! What a beast!! I always love her choices!! 🤘🐺🥁🔥✨
This song needs to be played Live!!! Also that bridge after the solos is freaking fantastic!! Livestream concert sounds awesome!! 🤘🐺🤘
Definitely needs to be played live. Awesome!
Ho! Haruna's gone insane again. I don't think she is made of flesh but of iron.....real iron maiden.
LOL Nice!
HARUNA...... killing those drums. Hell yeah
Hell yeah!
Getting faster & faster. Absolute speed metal..🤘🤘😆👍
Go fast!
often we talk about the genius of the composer Miyako but on this piece Asami did a great job.
agree 100% 🐺Peace frederic 🐺
I agree! Thanks!
Definitely top 5 Lovebites song for me. It's fast, it's brutal, but yet so melodic in the chorus. My favorite from the EP.
And yes, I really do wish they'd play it live some day.
Someday!
This is from the best EP i ever heard, amazing.
Hell yeah!
Yes! 🐺Peace Carlos 🐺
Another guitar duet challenging our notions of what is possible.
It's crazy, right?
I’m awestruck that each member has so much musical knowledge. They can all write tracks that many bands would never create in a lifetime. They’re going to blow everyone away with the new material. I don’t think this band has a peak.
agree 100%. 🐺Peace Alek 🐺
I also agree! Thanks!
Honestly, I think that all this awesomeness comes from the ability to surprise the listener. Lovebites are all really solid musicians and I’m sure they are choosing not only a world class bass player to replace Miho, but a composer too. Thanks for your reaction! 🐺🤘🏻
Thanks! I agree with ya!
This song is amazing. Cant wait to see them play this song live. mid August is when Lovebites is doing the final audition and they should have the new bass player chosen. Still not sure when the announcement will be made though
Awesome!
hope it's soon - damn - 3 more days and it's the one year anniversary of miho's leaving

another thing i love about m+m - they switch up who starts the solos. - in this song it's miyako first then midori before the harmonizing begins
Awesome! This one was a bit harder to figure out, so thanks!

LOVEBITES - Paranoia lyrics:
'Your mind is all poisoned' they said
They tie up my hands and feet
'There's nothing to be scare' they said
I cannot speak 'cause of the side effect
'Relax and go to sleep'
The white coats are peeking down
'Let's perform the exorcism'
'I know who I am, yes' I said
But I have been thrown away
'Get me out of here now' I said
But they won't listen to what I'm saying
'What do you want from me' I said
They have such a creepy smile
Flourescent lights go on and off
Lights penetrate straight to my eyes
Sharp needle pointing to me
Getting so sick of all the mess, no salvation
Here we come, beautiful world
Dancing in the night and day, lit under the moonlight
And here we come, crazy numb world
Slowly I'm sinking down and falling to heaven
Angel or a demon
Good or bloody evil
Pleasure or a pain
Responsive impulses
Breakdown or a cure
A hatred or a love
A chaos or silent peace
Confusion-disorder
'Your mind is all poisoned' they said
They tie up my hands and feet
'There's nothing to be scared' they said
I cannot speak 'cause of the side effect
'Relax and go to sleep' they said
The white coats are peeking down
'Let's perform the exorcism'
Light penetrate straight to my eyes
Sharp needle pointing to me
Getting so sick of all the mess, no salvation
Here we come, beautiful world
Dancing in night and day, lit under the moonlight
And here we come, crazy numb world
Slowly I'm sinking down and falling to heaven
