All these bands don't stray too far from their successful formulas. Lovebites songs are diverse, so we never know what they will do next. This song is more commercially accessible to the masses. It's a smart song. It's a happy song. This song will grow on you the more you listen to it. At least that's how it was for me. 🤘🏼🐺🤘🏼
LOVEBITES is very intense and catchy, and there is a lot of passion and happiness❗️Fami's shining smile and the strongest speed gallop❗️Miyako's jump and steps are very precious🎸Haruna's focus scene and drum play🥁Asami's perfect vocals and intense dance🎤Midori's The costume also has a strong point on the shoulders❗️& perfect tanning 💪🏾•••There is nothing negative about these songs❗️I was waiting for a song like this‼️✨🤘😎✨
Don't worry, You mentioned When Destinies Align, my favourite, but this Banger actually grew on me so, its is now situated in the middle of my Lovebites list, top half tough, I did write that its grown on me. Anyways, keep on reacting to our Ladies.
I will always keep listening to these talented ladies 😀 thanks for taking time to comment, I kind of knew how people would react the second I said it wasn't 'great' but 'good'...who knows this song might grow on me
LOVEBITES - Unchained lyrics: Open your eyes and you can see place you’ve imagined for so long High above, it’s there, accelerating heartbeat Get ready, ready, set, go Somewhere in this unclear day, you & I we all know this for sure Reaching out to catching the ticket to this one way road journey Nothing is there without meaning No going back, it’s always one chance in your life Don’t beg for another chance! The grey-out world will start to colour Don’t think, feel!! Be Free Anywhere you want Anywhere you want Be Free Anywhere you want Anywhere you want The future we dreamed of is waiting far beyond Be Free Anywhere you want Anywhere you want This beat of my heart as a guidance, finding signal of blaze light Heading straight no matter how the track is steep and narrow, moving on Everything has its “meant to be” There’s no impossible for us as long as if you believe in me We will shine like nobody else Don’t think, feel!! Be Free Anywhere you want Anywhere you want Be Free Anywhere you want Anywhere you want The future we dreamed of is waiting far beyond Be Free Anywhere you want Anywhere you want
TWIN SOLO: midori & miyako Don’t think, feel!! Be Free Anywhere you want Anywhere you want Be Free Anywhere you want Anywhere you want The future we dreamed of is waiting far beyond Be Free Anywhere you want Anywhere you want Anywhere you want Anywhere you want Anywhere you want Anywhere you want The future we dreamed of is waiting far beyond Be Free Anywhere you want Anywhere you want ----- lyrics: asami music: miyako arrangement: LOVEBITES & miyako album: LOVEBITES EP II 08/28/2024 ------
I hope Lovebites fans caught the live broadcast of Memorial for the Warrior Souls concert today and their new song Soul Defender MV played after. Awesome.
First of all, I would like to apologize for the bad English of Google Translate. From Japan. I completely agree with your evaluation of this song. I love this band's thrashy and extremely powerful heavy metal sound that you wouldn't expect from their elegant appearance, but I think this song probably has a commercial strategy. From 2018 to 2019, they gained momentum to expand internationally by winning awards at Wacken, but the pandemic ruined their efforts. After that, it went on hiatus due to member withdrawal, but now that they have revived and finally started a world tour including the US as LOVEBITES 2.0, the record company is releasing short songs that can reach even people other than core metal fans with the aim of making a jump all at once. (Their famous songs so far have been too long for radio lol). I think it's different from the music they're really aiming for, but I hope that as many people as possible will listen to this song. "Don't forget! We are Lovebites, and We play Heavymetal!"
Thanks for taking time to comment. You're one of the few who have understood I liked the song but didn't love it 🙂 I can see more people getting into this amazing band with each release which is always a good thing for music.
@@bethrobinson94 Thanks for your comment, Beth. I love Lovebites a lot, but not all of the songs fit the feeling. I'm tired of reactors pretending to be impressed to get likes, but I love sites that support musicians with "real" reactions, including you. There are still many masterpieces on Lovebites, but this is my favorite of the latest official uploads: "We Are The Resurrection" ruclips.net/video/ptsB1hZktzI/видео.html Also, the ballads are great, so be sure to try "A Frozen Serenade" and "Edge Of The World." Take care of yourself😊
For me this is (slightly) more commercial than some of their other compositions, but it’s not in the same league as Holy War, Set the World On Fire, Hammer of Wrath, We The United, Epilogue, Swansong, A Frozen Serenade, Dancing With The Devil, Edge of the World, which are all epic.
The song didn’t hit me hard the first time I heard it. But as I have heard it more it has grown on me because it has so much going on. It needs more listens to uncover the layers. You have missed some very good live releases while waiting for this new track.
I think, there are two things about "Unchained". - First, it is a grower, a catchy one. So it's understandable, how you feel about it. Same with me, but I immediately listened to it again, and it gets better for me every take! - Second, I think, this song will explode in a live or better stadium setup, with the audience shouting "Anywhere you want!" all the time. Just a guess, but I think, it's correct! So no excuses, "Unchained" may grow on you as well. Who knows. Up to this point, I agree, it's a good song. After heavy rotation, it may grow to a great song or more...
At the Lovebites Premier today they also shared Soul Defender a new unreleased song that rocks not sure when it get released publically but I heard the live album Memorial for the Warrior Souls today ahead of my album I already ordered with Lovebites II (all new songs)
If you want to hear something really strong of the lovebites, you should listen to "dissonance" and "The soldier stands solitarily", Unfortunately these tracks are available only audio at the moment, but I hear them live in the streaming concert today on the YT channel of the band (memorial for the warrior souls), and the performance of these two songs it's been insane!!!

Welcome back to Lovebites ! This track has pretty much everything - a seamless and innovative blend of AOR/heavy rock, speed-power metal, and a bit of thrash thrown in at the breakdown before the solos. At the same time, it's got a catchy hook to make this an awesome LIVE song in the making. In a way, I agree with you. I don't really rank my Lovebites songs but if I have to, "Unchained" will probably not be in my top 10 because they've got so many more phenomenal tracks. Having said that, it's still an awesome song and if you understand the historical context of this track, you'll have a much better appreciation for it. BTW, from the same new EP "Lovebites EP II", the band just dropped another song/MV called "Soul Defender" today on August 12. I think this might be more your cup of tea.
@@ljupcotanushoski2154 A poor cultist probably missed the broadcast and is now dying of curiosity to find out what gift the "goddesses" prepared for him. Don't worry, it's an absolutely ordinary, unremarkable, forgettable, and uninteresting song in the style of Lowbuts. Bo Bo, will you share the link with your fellow cultist? And don't pretend, I know you recorded everything. P.S Still waiting for that IP address ban.
@@ljupcotanushoski2154 The MV of "Soul Defender" was premiered immediately at the end of the "Memorial for the Warrior Souls" LIVE stream. As far as I can tell, the MV is not uploaded on the Lovebites channel yet. Perhaps they have to 'separate' the MV from the LIVE stream video before putting it up ?
Unlucky Morpheus has something new coming up as I recall Hagane and Bridear have new music along with Fates Gear with Nana (Thanks to Jill Violinist who I follow) also Hagane have new members singer Nagi and drummer Junno who I think everyone knows
It's curious how reviewers who don't particularly like any given song by any band spend so much time apologizing and rationalizing and giving excuses for their opinions, and not just BethRobinson. I enjoyed her intelligent and honest reaction. I guess I'm more frightened than curious about WHY this is happening more and more.
Your recording volume is waaay low, Beth. I have to fundamentally disagree with you regarding the song. It's a companion to Don't Bite The Dust. There are even visual callbacks to the DBTD video.
I agree that this is a good song but not a highlight in their body of work so far, I really prefer it when they go full speed power metal mode. But they probably want to diversify their music with some mid-tempo songs as well. BTW I really like to hear your honest opinion and I hope you continue to say it.
Thanks for commenting and understanding where I'm coming from. 4 years ago when I first started reacting to Japanese bands I was terrified to be brutally honest, but now I'm like if I have something to say I'm going to say it and I can delete the negative comments 👍

And the troll thinks I don't know that he reads all of my comments 🤣😂 🤣😂 🤣😂 His IP ban ? Oh don't worry, working on it
maybe not the best lovebites song but it is alot greater than most western metal releases the last 20 years 😊
Hands down 100% agree about the west needing to take a lesson :)
I love the hook in the chorus.

if any LOVEBITES song only gets a "good" rate, then people should watch this song on live version, that will gonna change the score 😂🤘

I personally believe this song was made for radio airplay. It's much shorter than most of their songs and a much more radio friendly sound.
Agree, more commercial sounding and shorter for possible radio play. Though, Japanese bands are not that popular for radio play in the USA.

Yeah I noticed the volume issue when I uploaded, it sounded fine when I was editing but must have bumped the settings by mistake 🙂
