Is cereal soup?
Happy international women’s day!
If you put gravy in it.
🤟
Depends on the cereal to milk ratio ... very technical :p .
As far as I'm concerned, when it comes to rock, every day is International Women's Day!

I've seen people laugh, cry, stare open-mouthed... and now I've seen someone drool. Made my morning.

The dark-haired guitarist is a classically trained piano player. Miyako started playing at the age of 3 and didn't pick up the guitar until she was 18. She brings that classical influence to the music she writes for the band. So try " Chopin Intro + Swan Song, " live from Zepp DiverCity Toyko, 2020.
😏♥️🎙🎸🎹🥁😎🤘
Asami "the one and only voice"- lead singer
Miyako "Golden Touch"- dark haired guitarist
Midori "Crazy Shredder"- blonde guitarist
Harunna "Little Big Engine" (pocket nuke)- drummer
Miho "Natural Born Headbanger" original bassist
Fami "Shining Fingers" current bassist
Nicknames given by bandmembers
Ive never heard pocket nuke before 😂
A nickname for Haruna is ‘Harupi.’ No idea what it means.
miho left before fami .. actually miho is the pioneer this band
by the way miyako also pianist
Have those nicknames been used by the band recently?
@@PaleHorseShabuShabu yes at the end of the last show Asumi said it out loud while present the members and herself.
Welcome to LOVEBITES 🤘🏼🐺🔥
Here some information about the band:
LOVEBITES are around since 2016 and their first EP and album came out in 2017. At this point they have already released 4 albums, some Singles/EPs and also a bunch of live DVD/Blu-ray releases.
Back in 2018/2019 LOVEBITES have already toured in Europe, including appearances at the major metal festivals as Wacken, Download, Bloodstock, Graspop. In 2018 they also won the Metal Hammer UK Golden Gods Award for best new band.
Then came covid, their original bass player and founder Miho quit the band for personal reasons and two babies were born. After a break LOVEBITES came back with new bassist Fami and new song „Judgement Day“ in late 2022. A new album with the same title came out in February 2023.
The band members of LOVEBITES are (including their official nicknames)
Asami on vocals (the one and only voice):
Has an amazing vocal range and vibrato, writes most of the lyrics, also did parts of the song writing for their latest 2 albums, she is a former ballerina and RnB/soul singer
Miyako on guitars, piano, keyboards (the golden touch):
She is the musical brain of the band, main composer and arranger, also she is a soulful but also shreddy guitar player and concert level pianist, she loves her pets and Star Wars
Midori on guitars (crazy shredder):
Incredibly fast and technical guitar player, does songwriting for a few songs, also she is a body fitness athlete
Haruna on drums (little big engine):
Best drummer in the universe (IMO), wrote one of their songs including lyrics, creates handmade miniature fake food
Fami on bass since 2022 (shining fingers):
Absolute bass prodigy with outstanding technique, she speaks faster than sonic speed as she plays and smiles non-stop
Miho on bass until 2021 (natural born headbanger):
she is a great bass player, she wrote several of the songs for the band’s albums 1-3, also the band was Miho‘s idea, she and Haruna were the founding members!
Thanks for your reaction. Asami (lead vocals) is indeed classically trained.....she's a ballerina! 🤗 I'm not kidding. Asami studied classical ballet for about 16 years (starting at the age of two). If you decide to continue your journey into the World of LOVEBITES (this is one of the best metal bands in the world today!), then pay attention to how Asami moves around the stage and, especially, to the movements of her hands. Asami does not have a classical training in vocals. Asami started out with R&B and Soul. She also sang a little Jazz. LOVEBITES is her first metal band.
Yes, actually, there was some time between being a ballerina (until the age of 18), studying dance, etc. and LOVEBITES, she was even singing at Budokan more than 12 years ago (with 360° setup) with UVERworld...
@@rainerzufall42 You're right. Asami has extensive vocal experience. Before forming LOVEBITES, Asami collaborated as a guest backing vocalist with Korean and Japanese popular singers and bands :
SE7EN, Rola, AI, Sayaka Yamamoto, Maki Ohguro, Ayumi Nakamura, Koji Tamaki, Izumi Nakasone, Oikawa Mitsuhiro, AKB48, VAMPS, SEKAI NO OWARI, UVERWORLD, AK-69, KAT-TUN.
These are just the singers and bands I know about. She still collaborates with some of them. For example, Asami participated in the Sayaka Yamamoto concerts in the summer of 2023.
@@GrayFox14 Well, you obviously know some more than me! I know maybe half of these. Most impact probably has her background singing for Sayuka Yamamoto! It's an ongoing project, all the way of the career of LOVEBITES! She was support on almost all live events during that time! Impressive!
Very impressive power from that small frame. I have a dog that weighs more than she does.
@@rainerzufall42The Uverworld show at Budokan is the oldest video of Asami that I know of.
I love this reaction. You really know what you're talking about. You are smart listener and observer.
After some notes she was able to sing along and hum the fundamental note of the harmony.
The Japanese metal/rock scene is incredible. Band-Maid, Lovebites, Nemophila and Hanabie are must listening/viewing. Lovebites is the best metal band I've heard in decades. Truly elite musicians. The 2 guitarists (Midori - blonde & Miyako-brunette) are among the best dual guitarists I've ever heard. Dive deeper, they only get more impreesive. FYI: Put Nemophila & Hanabie on your reaction list. Your reactions are always awesome as well.
I would add East of Eden (a violin among usual rock instruments) and Gacharic Spin (an energetic 6-member group - try a live version of for instance
@@wanderleyjesus6772 Know them all. Add them if you wish, but recommend to the reactor.
Not only do I love lovebites, but I'm also lucky enough to be going to see them live in Paris on 25 June. I can't wait!
I'm jealous.
Miyako, the guitarist on the right, is a classically trained pianist. The song, ‘Swan Song, with a Chopin intro,’ can’t be described in words. Miyako plays the Chopin intro, proceeds to shred on guitar, then plays the outro on piano which matches the melody of the song. BTW, most of the songs originate with her. Surprise, surprise.
She can also play 2 instruments at once, she's such a show off
Best and most talented band on the planet right now (any genre)......period!!!
Asami the singer has a background in R&B she was also a ballerina.. some of my favorite Lovebites songs - A Frozen Serenade, Epilogue, Empty Daydream, Edge Of The World, Liar, Stand and Deliver, Swan Song with Chopin Intro, Judgement Day, Dancing with the Devil
1:03 "I drooled." - NittPicc
That's Asami. That's a natural response.
LOVEBITES. They are listened not only by metalheads. Ladies came out of their metal genre and have wider spectrum of fans.
They play Eclectic Metal. It means they blend as the first band in history all kind of metal mainly power and thrash with NWOBHM,
heavy metal, symphonic metal, speed metal,hair metal, hard rock, rock, rock'n'roll, jazz, progressive pieces and even punk. They mix all with classical music using operatic, R&B, soul and gospel skills of vocalist and grand piano and Spanish guitar skills playing. Sometimes they use typical Japanese melodic lines which are included in ENKAs_ melancholy ballads singing by Japanese women. Only their can do it. Obviously they draw a lot from British, German and American metal. All this makes their style unique.

"WE ARE LOVEBITES AND WE PLAY HEAVYYYY METAAAAL!!!"
Stay safe. Stay Lovebites.
welcome to the world of Lovebites the world of beautiful ballads, heavy, power, speed, thrash metal.
The musical talent in this band is second to none. One of the best bands I've had the privilege to hear in my 74 years. Do check out more of their songs, the quality is as good or better than this.
Welcome to the Wolfpack 😄🐺
Band-Maid = Best Hard Rock, Lovebites = Best Metal, Japanese women musicians = Best music. Happy International Women's Day!
Agreed
Not a truer statement !
Lovebites, Nemophila and Asterism also play hard rock, better than Band Maid... Sorry, not trying to start a war, but it is true.
@@LongStroke01Not true, you are trying to start a war... But it is all personal opinion, so nothing is true or wrong, try to get out of your bubble and consider your taste as fitting for everyone, that is very narrow-minded.
@@Slippy6582 Exactely! 'Best' is completely subjective in all art forms, it's just what you personally like the most.
Wolfpack will invade your channel.
Lovebites has a devoted following that keeps growing every day.
You are late to the party, but here you are!
Your commentary is pretty much spot-on. The moment of discovery is always fun to see.
I think you just found your new favorite band. Try not to pass-out when you see what else they can do!
This is just a taste of what they can do. Wolfpack united! Lovebites forever! 🤘🏼🐺🤘🏼
Welcome to The WOLFPACK
🤘🏼🐺HANDS UP FOR THE MAIDENS QUEENS OF HEAVY METAL 🤘🏼
Thank you for reacting to Lovebites!! My favorite reactors are ones from whom I can learn something about the technical aspects of the music. You are fast becoming one of my favorites. I don't know if you noticed the piano on stage, but Miyako , the "intimidating" guitarist is a classically trained piano virtuoso. I would love to see you react to Swan Song with Chopin intro. If you prefer a more ass kicking guitar showcase then Scream For Me from Daughters Of The Dawn is a good one.
My first love bite was Shadowmaker! One of the best songs of this band! True masterpiece! Some of the songs from this band are the best songs in my beloved genre! Holy War is one of them! I am one of lovers of this band! Almost 4 years! You did a great job for our beloved band! Thank you very much for that! Nemophila, Hagane (not-active from 2023), Aldious, Destrose (not-active from 2015), Maki Oyama, Band Maid are some of the best bands from Japan in my beloved genre! Keep up the great work! Have a beautiful Sunday!
While Asami is very operatic , and she has definite vocal training, she actually came from the world of jazz/soul/R&B before joining Lovebites. They call her The One & Only Voice. Lovehites are amazing and also have the best nicknames:
Miyako(intimidating guitarist)-The Golden Touch
Midori(guitarist)- The Crazy Shredder
Haruna(drums)-Little Big Engine (she's only 4'8")
Miho(old bassist)-The Natural Born Headbanger
Family(new bassist)-Shining Fingers
Interesting notes they are all very small lol between 4'8" - 5'3". Also Midori is a competitive bodybuilder, and Miyako was actually a classical pianist and still is an amazing piano player. She incorporates classical pieces into their concerts and also has an EP of just piano covers of heavy metal songs. She is their composer and you can see classical influence all over Lovebites.
There is a video where Asumi sings with a male ocidental vocalist and the difference is heigh is astonish.
Fami = "Shining fingers" got it!
welcome to LOVEBITES, they play heavy metal and they play it damn good, these Ladies are friggin amazing, pick a song, any song, it doesn't matter as there are NO bad songs, great music, great lyrics, great videos, LIVE is even better, so come on down the rabbit hole that is LOVEBITES, I believe you will really enjoy these Ladies, I know I do......great reaction
Nice :)
As I understand it, Asami, the singer, was previously an RnB backup singer and had never heard of metal until Lovebites recruited her. I don't know what kind of training she has had though.
If you like the overlap with classical, a good next Lovebites reaction would be the song "Swan Song", specifically the version with the Chopin intro.
Miyako, the cool collected lead guitarist, is known at least when playing within Lovebites for having quite a calm sometimes bordering on disinterested vibe. It seems she plays up to it a bit as she isn't like that in all performances and was different in performances with some other bands previously. She it might be a bit of a stage persona possibly. She is also the primary composer for many of Lovebites songs, though I believe they all give input.
Then Midori, the other lead guitarist, counter balances Miyako's style of stage presence with the far more expressive and energetic facial expressions and movements.
Actually, they are all 3 tapping in unison, they just highlight a different one each time. Asami, the lead singer comes from an R&B and Soul background, as well as ballet. Others will give you plenty more info on the group. They actually have classical (and classical inspired) piano intro's to some songs. And yes, they are the Queens of Metal (regal).
I notice this in the version with Fami, and I thought it was just to help her (as if she needed) in this feature.
You can actually see all 3 in the 2021 version.@@wanderleyjesus6772
Well, it’s always interesting when people react to Lovebites for the first time and seeing their faces in awe and stunned. People who are music knowledgeable, like you, are the best reactors to Lovebites because they really appreciate the talent and musicianship of this amazing band. Yes, these women are extremely talented, skillful and versatile proficient musicians. Those twin lead guitar solos by Miyako and Midori are already legendary, in just seven years. They are five of a kind. Their live performances are just outstanding. Some people say that they’re redefining metal or that they’re breaking the walls of stereotypes in the metal scene. Asami used to sing R&B, soul and jazz before she joined the band. Miyako (black hair guitarist) is also a concert level classical pianist. My next recommendations are “The Hammer of wrath”, “Judgement day”, “Set the world on fire”, “Break the wall”, “Shadowmaker”, “Thunder vengeance”. For something softer “Chopin etude + Swan song”, “Liar”, “Edge of the world”, “Empty daydream”, “Epilogue”, “A frozen serenade”. All live
Welcome to Lovebites! This IS indeed what it is like ALL the time with them. They're flat out amazing. Such talent and stage presence. They're the greatest metal band in the world, and very quickly have become my favorite band ever. They're just so spellbinding to watch and listen to live. I really enjoyed your reaction and agree with all that you said. Not only did you enjoy it, you picked up on some things I haven't seen other reactors talked about and went back. I subscribed, in case you react to more of them. Hope you do! It's really easy to fall in love with them. They all have their personalities and it makes for such a great stage presence.
They do a few different genre within metal. Most would call them a power metal band, but they lean into thrash, power, speed, and can get a little progressive and a little more on the rock side on occasion. There's some great ballads and epic performances. Asami has an R&B background (and ballet). You can hear that in some of their tracks. I don't think she has done any opera. Miyako (the scary one lol) is a concert level pianist who trained on piano since 3. She's here because one day she decided to teach herself guitar and we are lucky for it! You can hear her on the piano in a few tracks, including a piece from Chopin.
I truly don't know what to recommend. It's all amazing.
If you want thrash, maybe this one: Break the Wall ruclips.net/video/5Pc0XK0lNmU/видео.html
If you want to hear Miyako on piano, try: Swan Song (with the Chopin intro) ruclips.net/video/dcMVtrvpJpk/видео.html
If you want Asami starting with a bit more R&B: Empty Daydream ruclips.net/video/BkPxcnsRjlk/видео.html&start_radio=1
If you want a surprise: Frozen Serenade ruclips.net/video/Ae8pQVu-RN8/видео.html
Congrats, you've found the best metal band in 3 decades, Lovebites. All members were so talented, skilled, motivated and humble musicians + singer. About 60s song in their tracks and all was good songs. No jokes, there's no bad songs. All their live performances were so epic and masterpiece. Dig more to witness it. Love your educational reaction 👍🤘
Asami is classucally trained, She was an R&B/soul singer prior to Lovebites. She's also trained in ballet. Miyako (Brunette guitarist) is a classically trained pianist as well.
I believe Midori (blonde guitarist) also played classic guitar.
She does body building on the side now too, so she lifts heavy AND plays heavy.
@@TheVleckChannel Both play acoustic guitar (Martin model), if you mean that! Both play piano (as do all of them), but Miyako is the concert level pianist...
@@rainerzufall42 I meant specifically classical guitar, the one with the flat fretboard and nylon strings. The Martin style is the one that isn't horrendous to play. Miyako still does piano recitals and has her own solo EP out of piano covers of metal songs, including The Loner by Gary Moore - a cultured choice.
@@TheVleckChannel Sure.
Classical education is when a person studies and graduates from a conservatory, a music institute, or at least a music school (college) in vocal class and receives the appropriate documents. 🤗
Excellent reaction from someone who obviously understands music. Kudos !!
I have no words left to describe how wonderful this band is. I love Band Maid, Nemophila, Hanabie, Babymetal.. they are all fabulous from root to tip, and this band is a constant reminder to me that metal is safe. AS you go through their works you'll find that not only is Lovebites assembled with supremely talented musicians, but their craft brings a delightful mix of flavours into their songwriting. Wonderful! In this incarnation you have their original form - left to right, Midori (gguitar), Miho (bass), Haruna (drums), Asami (vocals) and Miyako (guitar). More recently we have new bassist Fami, and you will get to her brilliance soon I'm sure. A lot of Asami's vocal comes through soul as much as any classical inspirations.. in the crowd chant I believe Asami is shouting "wa!" which implies "together" or "harmony".
The lead singer. She is a former ballerina dancer.
The lady playing the first guitar solo is an former concert pianist virtuoso. (Miako)
And she started play piano at the age of 3 and started play guitar at the age of 18.
The other guitarist is competing in Japanese bodybuilding "fitness" on high level. And is also an remarkable good acustic guitar player... (Midori)
Very few live bands that I can think of is capable of sound so great live sound and technicaly skilled so its sounds so good as they do.
Epica and Nighwish comes to mind, but on the same skill level not many more....
They are all very short.
The drummer Haruna is 4.9" and her nick name is "little big engine"
Since this concert was made and on their latest album they have a new basist .
Fami "Shining Fingers"...
The guitarist/pianist Miako with the more (introverted stoneface) is called "The silent assassin" The other Guitarist Midori is called "The shredder" And Asami the singer is called "The voice"...
The two guitarists are both lead guitarists. Inspite of one being lead and one backing as often usual.
And they are the the perfect example of one being more introverted and one being more extrovert on the stage.
Which shows more of them as persons than that sometimes can be seen as one being more cold.
Cause outside the stage they are very warm and open people all of them.
They do sing in English but its often good to in my opinion use captions when able. Cause its offcourse not their native language. So sometimes it can be hard to hear the often very good positive uplifting lyrics...
Or otherwise google lyrics in beforehand. Cause its often very good and uplifting lyrics.
The technical skill in this group is beyond amazing.
They also do different styles in different songs.
Like hardrock, trash metal, powermetal, and plain metal. Sometimes with symphonic metal influences.
They said in an interview that the starting rolemodels for them was the old english and European metal bands.
Nowadays they have done their own mixture of everything .
And their latest 2023 album is ranked as one of the best metal albums of all metal genres the year.
I have never heard a band like them who never done a bad song. You can likely choose any song to react to and its good. Old or new...
This is the "rabbit hole of rabbit holes" for you. So much wonderful to investigate.
Everyone of them has their own RUclips chanel.
I think their new basist Fami has the biggest one. She was big before beginning in Lovebites.
Just some trivia I know about them...
One of the absolute best bands in the world along Battle Beast and Unleash the Archers in their genre.
Much love from Stockholm Sweden/ J
Miyako still performs as a solo concert pianist, though she mostly performs piano adaptations of metal songs as far as I know.
Second super good reaction video, of a new reactor, of today. Lovebites and all the other great Japanese female heavy metal bands need new and more fans all over the world.
So it's fun to be part of this cause.
Lovebites History :
Lovebites has been around since 2016, and the women became more famous worldwide after performing at several major festivals, mainly in Europe, starting in
2018 - Wacken - Open Air in Germany
2018 - Bloodstock Open Air in England
2019 - Graspop Metal Meeting Festival in Belgium
2019 - Download Festival in Spain.
In 2020, their career was abruptly interrupted by Corona. But they masterfully overcame the crisis, got married and had babies. In 2021 the founder Miho left the band for personal reasons and it went into a hiatus which lasted until the end of 2022. In the fall of 2022 they found a young fantastic bass player and in 2023 they released a new LP. The new LP reached the 5th place in the Japanese charts. Japan is the 2nd largest music market in the world and it is very rare that in these times a rock band comes so far forward.

Thank you, thank you for finally listening to Lovebites! Over the past two years I have become a huge fan and for me, they have eclipsed literally every other band in my library. Not only are all of them supremely multi-talented musicians, they all seem to be genuinely nice human beings who show so very much *joy* in their music. (Also, most of their music is like that - awe-inspiring, whether it is thrashy, synth, or even ballad-ish.)
I'd love to see you do some of their newer stuff - they have a lot of variation of stuff - Spellbound is 80's synth-rock, We The United is a huge anthem that they use as a finisher... Swan Song with Piano Etude showcases Chopin from Miyako (the dark haired guitarist who is also a concert pianist), and Epilogue.
All of their music is incredible. The bassist in this video is Miho - one of the founders of the band. The other band founder, Haruna, is called the "Little Big Engine" because at 4'9", she is the shortest of the band, and yet she can play a 2 hour show like she just did this video... all with a happy smile. :)
Their new bassist, Fami, is also freaking incredible - having joined the band at the end of 2022.
Singer, Asami, is a huge goofball on social media, and yes, is classically trained. She started off singing blues, and was trained as a ballerina as well!
Finally, on the left, our blonde goddess amazon is Midair. She is the "Crazy Shredder" - and while you can't see it here, during the pandemic she got into bodybuilding and is now competing Japan-wide. You'll see it in their latest videos!
Can't wait for me. I love your reactions - and you continue to never disappoint, and you now have my favorite band in front of you. Thank you, thank you! Welcome to the Wolfpack! (the legion of Lovebites fans). You should be visited by many of them this day :)
I always enjoy watching the Metal Queens being discovered for the very first time. Your break down of this song was one of the best I've ever seen Great job
Lovebites have much variety in their discography. Recommend next - A Frozen Serenade 2021 LIVE in Tokyo with lyrics
Great, informative reaction. You have barely scratched the surface of the surface with LOVEBITES. 56 self penned tracks, ranging across the entire metal spectrum, all unique, and, dare I say it, all candidates for best song on any other band’s albums. I am unsure exactly when Asami began singing , but I do know that she was hoping to be a ballerina before being judged too small, then went to the US to study hip-hop (I think). But her actual singing background is RnB and her biggest influence is Mariah Carey. I have no idea what training she’s had but her breath control and vocal stamina is simply ridiculous for such a diminutive (147 cm) woman.
Stick with LOVEBITES and give them as much attention as you can because they are a once in a century phenomenon.
I am not sure I have ever seen a reactor drool :p . Symphonic Metal/Power Metal. Midori, the guitarist, is also a competing body builder. You have now reached the limit of my Lovebites knowledge.
BODY BUILDER! I have even more of a reason to adore her then. I’m a gym nut! 😭😭😭
@@NittPicc She became serious about it in 2022 I understand, as the band took some time off to find a new bassist. She competes in the Japan Bodybuilding & Fitness Federation (JBBF) .
Meshing of classical and metal, you say? Check out their live version of Swan Song w/ Chopin intro.
Asami the singer comes from a Soul and R&B background but she was a Ballet dancer first. She is fluent in English and spent time in the US learning Hip-Hop dance. She writes most of the lyrics. She can also play the piano.
Miyako the intimidating guitarist is a classically trained pianist starting at 3, you might have seen the Roland piano behind her on stage that is not for show, she is very, very good. She has a BA in music composition and writes about half of the Lovebites songs. She can also play bass and drums (but not at the same skill level).
Midori the guitarist with the good stage presence is also a bodybuilder (she is ripped in the Judgement Day video). She is also fluent in English and also has spent time in the US. She can also play piano and electric organ, but she has given up those instruments in favour of guitar. She is a graduate of Musicians Institute Japan in Osaka.
Haruna the drummer is also a clay artist sculpting miniature fake food. She can play the piano (are you sensing a theme here).
Miho the bassist in this video is no longer in the band.
Fami the new bassist (joined 2022) is about a decade younger than the other members and is currently in university. She is very good. Why yes she can play the piano and also the violin, and guitar and she can sing.
To see the piano in action your choice of

News: LOVEBITES drummer Haruna took 4th place in the ranking of Japanese drummers (according to BURRN!)
Did Fami get 3rd in the bass category?
@@guitarzen5999 Yes, Fami 3rd🥉 place in the bass category 🎉!!! You wrote about this before me ! I found out about Fami about 20 minutes ago! 😊You're ahead of me!👍👏🤝😊
My prediction: if everything goes as it is now, then in the next 2-3 years LOVEBITES will conquer Europe! And then it will be the turn of the arrogant Americans.
@@guitarzen5999 Yes, Fami 3rd place in the bass category! You wrote about this before me! I found out about Fami about 20 minutes ago! You're ahead of me!
A lot of Lovebites songs have interesting chord changes and modulations reminiscent of classical music. Some have quotations from classical works. Winds of Transylvania, When Destinies Align, Nameless Warrior, Swan Song.

This is an overview of LOVEBITES 55 self-written songs and 3 covers (plus 6+1 covers by band members) with your reaction marked with a star (*).
All these songs are great, they have no bad, weak or meh songs, and no fillers at all. Every song is special, you could randomly select a song, best life, of course, and LOVEBITES won't disappoint you. They play many different Heavy Metal styles with a certain LOVEBITES sound, they revive the masters of the 80's (and 90's) in a fresh and modern way. LOVEBITES may have the most talented musicians around, all of them S tier. Drummer Haruna is relentless like a metronome, both Miho and Fami master their bass (for Fami's capabilities, you should visit "Alien Alien" from my list, it's in her RUclips channel will almost 700K subscribers), the dual guitars M&M (for Midori and Miyako) is most certainly the best duo for trading guitar solos and harmonizing, and Asami's voice is stellar with big range, powerful belt and good vibrato. She is also a trained ballerina with exceptional stage presence. One reactor caller her "Stage General", which is perfectly put. Hard, tight, fast, relentless, effortless and clean, that's LOVEBITES. Fasten your seat belt and enjoy your ride!
Thank you for your excellent technical review of Lovebites, they are now my favourite band of all time. Their talents are simply off the scale and I’m looking forward to seeing them play live in London as part of their world tour this summer.😊
Just brilliant analysis and explanations of yours. You have comprehended every detail of the performance. Great reaction as well. The singer has a R&B and jazz and ballet background but I'm more than sure that she has been taking proper vocal training as well. That shy brunette guitarist has a classic background and she is a classic artist and that because she is so calm while her performance. Since you know so well about music, I'd suggest following pieces for your next Lovebites. Swan Song with Revolutionary Etude ruclips.net/video/dcMVtrvpJpk/видео.html. It is an amazing performance inspired by Chopin and Dovolzark, and you'll see her classic side of the brunette guitarist Miyako. A Frozen serenade ruclips.net/video/Ae8pQVu-RN8/видео.html is a most beautiful song and performance with surprises, and it's got a beautiful bass line too. Enjoy!!

Although she is Sweet as can be, *Miyako* (black hair guitar) is indeed 'Intimidating' as a musician. She trained classical piano from age 3 and only picked up a guitar when she was 18 - and learned out of a book. For Lovebites she does: Guitar, Piano, Keyboards, Keytar, Backing vocals, (Main) Composer, Arrangements, Demos, Sound Engineer . . . She also plays bass and enough drums to keep rhythm and lay down demo tracks for the band. She also writes music for other bands (most notably Crystal Lake). Check out her composition *Swan Song [+Chopin Intro (Revolutionary Etude) ] * where she starts on piano and then switches to guitar (w/ a Surprise at the end) ruclips.net/video/dcMVtrvpJpk/видео.html (w/CC) 🤘🏻🐺🐺🐺🤘🏻
Asami(Vo) has been studying classical ballet from the age of 2 to 18.
Asami (Vo) was originally an R&B and soul singer.
She had never listened to metal music at all, which she says was "music from another dimension.
Discover another of Asami's talents, having moved on from R&B and soul.
She has a wide range of belts from low to high(e5), and is able to perform them with certainty.
I have always felt that Asami is both a vocalist and an actress.
Asami can sing in a variety of ways depending on the song.
To discover Asami's true vocal talents in R&B and soul, check out the songs below.
You can then check Asami's wide-range belt from low to high frequencies.

And "Rising"(MV)
You can listen to a wide range of metal genres on LOVEBITES.
You can see not only Asami's singing ability, but also the breadth of her composition, lyrics, and arrangement.
At LOVEBITES' live shows, there are several songs in which Miyako plays the intro on the piano, and the intro contains a fusion of metal and classical music, as well as inspiration from classical music.
Haruna the drummer ran a marathon in this track... That tasty bass line can't be heard on the CD, It's so good in this video.
Haruna "little BIG Engine" drums 🧡 (4'9"; 1.45m)

Welcome to the realm of the Wolfpack (Lovebites fans from around the world) ! Great analysis and review ! These amazing ladies play a seamless and innovative blend of speed-power/thrash/prog/neoclassical metal/heavy rock/power ballads which makes their sound unique and contemporary. The lead vocalist (Asami) has a powerful and broad mezzo-soprano range that allows her to soar above Lovebites' very heavy riffs/licks with ease to deliver the melodic contrast. You have barely scratched the surface as this band has a current catalogue of about 60 original songs which none of them is bad. If you like the collision of classical music and metal (neoclassical metal), check out "Swan Song with Chopin intro" LIVE : ruclips.net/video/dcMVtrvpJpk/видео.html (there're a few LIVE versions of this song on YT, use this link for the one with the Chopin piano intro). Enjoy your journey down the rabbit hole that's Lovebites !
Lovebites, Heavy Metal Godesses!
Look for their son SWAN SONG, but the one with the Chopin intro. Marvelous!
The purity of Asami’s vocal tone, her excitement and grace in performance, and her subtle ability as a lyricist and music composer are what make her a truly special artist.
🤘🐺🤘Vocal Range: D3 - B♭5 .
Mezzo soprano Marianne Crebassa also has a very beautiful voice....
Hey NittPicc.. At last.. Over 60 songs to go if you dare.. They don't have a bad song, so choose anything...
Best wishes from France
enjoyed your reaction very much. as you seem to appreciate musical talent,i would recommend swan song with chopin intro and a frozen serenade to see all sides of the talents and musical prowess of this amazing band!
best metal band in the world bar none great reaction have a great day!!!!
I love Band-Maid, I love Lovebites (very much looking forward to seeing them live for the first time in June, got tickets for three of their concerts), I love Nemophila, I love Asterism. And I enjoy you reacting to them! I agree, that bassline from Miho during the guitar solos is extremely tasteful and adds a very nice touch to the song. These ladies are just killer!
Just a little tidbit Akane and Lovebites drummer Haruna are good friends.
Do you think Love Bites and Band Maid should try a " Other side of the planet tour" 🇺🇸, 🇨🇦🇧🇷🇬🇳, ?
I think you need to check out Wagakki Band to see what stage presence a flutist can have. 😉
Daisuke is awesome. I second your recommendation.
LOVEBITES - Holy War lyrics:
Look at those black clouds, it’s going to rain blood
People live in fear, covered in mud
Singing oh Gloria to change the prophecy
We are the metal warriors
Fighting the darkness for sisters
There is a thousand, a thousand of evils
Hush, do not wake up Satan’s devils
Singing Hallelujah to save our majesty
We are the metal warriors
Fighting the darkness for brothers
Shining blade and burning heart
Into the Gates of Hell we march
Immortal soul, let there be light
Into the Eye of Heaven
Eagles at a holy war
Fly higher than the sun
We are one for all and all for one forevermore
SOLO: midori
Kingdom of Heaven, never shall we fall
Reincarnation, wait for your call
Singing oh, Gloria to change the prophecy
We are the metal warriors
Fighting the darkness for sisters
Morning star and dying moon
Into the Gates of Hell we march
Mighty soul, let there be hope
Into the Eye of Heaven
Eagles at a holy war
Fly higher than the sun
Stand up in the name of the God of heavy metal
What do we live for?What do we fight for, tonight?
But the world is beautiful, worth fighting for
Only have one thing on our mind
Facing the fate, holy war
SOLO: miyako / midori / both
Singing Hallelujah to save our majesty
We are the metal warriors
Fighting the darkness for brothers
Shining blade and burning heart
Into the Gates of Hell we march
Immortal soul, let there be light
Into the Eye of Heaven
Eagles at a holy war
Fly higher than the sun
We are one for all and all for one forevermore
What do we live for?What do we fight for, tonight?
But the world is beautiful, worth fighting for
Only have one thing on our mind
Facing the fate, holy war

LOVEBITES are the GODDESSES of heavy metal ! In 2018, LOVEBITES won the prestigious Metal Hammer GOLDEN GODS Award for 'Best New Band' (London,UK). The winners of the GOLDEN GODS Award in different years and in various categories were such famous bands and musicians,such as: BLACK SABBATH, IRON MAIDEN, MOTöRHEAD, JUDAS PRIEST, TWISTED SISTER, OZZY OSBOURNE, LEMMY KILMISTER, ZAKK WYLDE, NIKKI SIXX, JOE PERRY, BRIAN MAY, ANTHRAX, SLAYER, TESTAMENT, SAXON, NIGHTWISH, TRIVIUM, RAMMSTEIN, SABATON, CHILDREN OF BODOM, ARCH ENEMY, MACHINE HEAD (and this is not a complete list).
LOVEBITES play speed, progressive, power, thrash, neoclassical metal. Some songs have elements of symphonic metal and hard rock. LOVEBITES also plays classical music (piano).
LOVEBITES is a Japanese all-female heavy metal band, formed in 2016 by former Japanese heavy metal band DESTROSE members Miho( bass,backing vocals) and Haruna(drums). The band has successfully performed at various major international rock-festivals many times .In the spring of 2018, LOVEBITES performed on the Japanese leg of the Warped Tour. In August 2018, they performed at Wacken Open Air (Germany), becoming the first Japanese all-female rock band to perform at the festival (over the entire history of this festival, since 1990). Also in August 2018 they performed on the main stage of Bloodstock Open Air (UK). In 2019, LOVEBITES performed at the Download Festival in Donington (UK) and Download Festival in Madrid (Spain). Their performance in Donington was named by the festival organizers and Metal Hammer magazine as one of the highlights of the festival! In the same year they performed at the Graspop Metal Meeting (Belgium) and the Summer Sonic Festival (Japan). Unfortunately, the Covid pandemic that began in 2020 prevents LOVEBITES from performing at festivals and forced a drastic reduction of concerts.
LOVEBITES is a phenomenal band, all the ladies are talented musicians! They have recorded about 60 original songs and musical compositions for 2017-2023.
🐺Miho - bass, backing vocals (in August 2021 she left the band).
🐺Haruna - drums.
🐺Midori - guitars, backing vocals.
🐺Miyako (Mi-Ya)- guitars, piano, keyboards, backing vocals.
🐺Asami - lead vocals, piano.
🐺Fami - bass, backing vocals(since October 2022).
🐺Miho has been playing the piano since the age of 5. Later, when she was in school, Miho started playing the bass guitar. Great bassist! The fact that such a wonderful band appeared is, first of all, the merit of Miho. She came up with the idea to create a band and what kind of music she would play. It is a combination of "old school" heavy metal (New Wave of British Heavy Metal) with other genres. Miho invited Haruna to join her and together they found the rest of the members .
🐺Haruna started playing drums when she was in school. She also plays piano/keyboards. Haruna is the smallest (4 '9 "), but appearances are deceiving. When Haruna sits down at the drums, this is the 'little BIG Engine'. She is one of the best drummers in Japan.
🐺Midori (blond hair) has been playing the piano since she was two years old and the electric organ since she was eight. She started studying guitar at the age of 20. Super guitarist, 'Crazy Shredder'. She surpasses many male guitarists in speed and technique of playing the guitar.
Graduated from ESP/MI JAPAN ( Osaka), GIT-DX department (superfast guitar department). ESP/MI JAPAN is an International Music Institute , headquartered in Hollywood, California, USA.
🐺Miyako (black hair) has been playing the piano since the age of three, received a classical education (piano) and wanted to pursue a career as a pianist. She has been playing the guitar since the age of 18. Super guitarist! They call her 'The Golden Touch' and she is a real musical genius. Miyako is the main composer of the band, she wrote about 50% of the music.
* In terms of teamwork and guitar synchronization/harmonization, Midori and Miyako (M&M) are perhaps the best guitar duo in metal today. In a review of LOVEBITES, a famous music critic wrote about Midori and Miyako: “It’s a crime to have two guitarists of such a high level in one band!”😊
🐺Asami started with R&B and Soul music . She studied classical ballet for about 16 years (this is noticeable in her movements on stage, especially the movements of her hands). Started studying ballet at the age of two. After leaving school, Asami lived for some time in the US, where she came to study dance. Plays the piano. Asami wrote most of the lyrics of the band's songs.
🐺Fami plays bass, keyboards, guitar, writes songs, sings. She has released solo Album, which she dedicated to graduating from school.
All songs LOVEBITES are written in English. Unlike other metal bands, LOVEBITES perform on stage in white dresses. White dresses are their style. The Wolf is the mascot of LOVEBITES and is featured on all band's Albums except the first 'The Lovebites EP'. The band's fans call themselves the 🐺Wolfpack🐺
Thank you for reacting to Lovebites, the most talented ladies in metal. Please continue down the rabbit hole of Lovebites music. You won’t find a bad song from them. These ladies are world class musicians and they are taking heavy metal to another level. They are also the best live band; flawless and effortless.
It was inevitable, that you would get to Lovebites. They are so talented, my metal fix. I would recommend both Judgement Day live and Hammer of Wrath live featuring their new bassist Fami. Also all the Lovebites band members went to see Band Maid's 10th anniversary finale at Yokohama Arena and Haruna and Akane are good friends. It seems a close knit community within the Japanese rock and metal scene which I also love about it. Looking forward to more reactions !
And Miyako is good friends with SAKI of Nemophila. They annually exchange birthday presents.
About the outfits. When Lovebites was touring Europe as the opening act for Dragonforce a French metal magazine interviewed Asami (singer) about their outfits. Her response, "We're girls, we don't want to dress like boys. Also, we are all small and the white and gold makes it easier to see us on stage." And they ARE small. The drummer Haruna is only 4' 9". The tallest member, Miyako (dark haired guitarist) is 5' 2" (as is the new bassist not in this vid)
As far as I'm aware, Asami does not have formal classical vocal training (she may have, and I'm just not aware of it), but her background is in R&B, Soul and Gospel, and those styles employ some of the same techniques as classical singing.
You are correct, as far as I know she is not classically trained.
Asami(vo) is indeed classically trained vocalist, but I don't think she's an opera singer.
She can do a little bit of opera singing, but she's not an opera singer.
It's just Lovebites management is the one who want Asami to sing with this style.
Also, Asami and Miyako(black haired guitarist) is a mom.
They are a great mom with a lot of schedules.
Thank you for the reaction.
I'm waiting for more🙂
Great start to the glorious journey that is lovebites. Be prepared every performance has a moment . Doesn't matter what song you choose .They're all really great in their own way.
Band Maid is my favorite, but if you want to hear pure madness from Lovebites, Judgement Day is where it's at. Prepare your mind to be blown with that bad boy.
“Her unbothered nature … “ enjoying your enthusiasm, insight and sheer joy ❤ Liked and subscribed, best wishes from Scotland
The "intimidating" Miyako is actually the most sweet and smiling lady ... out of the stage. She's a classically trained pianist (you see that white piano besides her - it's not a decorative feature 😉) and it may explain her "sphinx" attitude on stage.
One of the best analysis by a first time listener I have seen for LB"S. As a musician myself Kudo's to you! I had a similar reaction my first listen as well.
HAPPY WOMEN'S DAY ❤❤Awesome reaction 🤘. You are the reason why I watch reaction videos.
Especially first time reactions.. and especially especially LOVEBITES 🐺 you have no clue as to what you got yourself into..
It's been a little over an hour, so I'm guessing you have all history, background of each musician, and most importantly, you have multiple playlists. They do EVERYTHING. I would personally welcome a new princess to the 🐺WOLFPACK 🐺 den ..We love being part of your journey 🐺
🐺 WOLFPACK 4 LIFE 🐺
GOD BLESS
Without the internet, I wouldn't know anything about this outstanding band. This band is phenomenal. You rarely see such live perfection. A whole new level for me.
The song "Epilogue" live.One the most beautifuls metal ballads in the history.
Congratulations, you were Lovebitten!
Great reaction, great analysis. Thank you for reacting to Lovebites, the most talented ladies of metal.
the "intimidating" one is Miyako, she is a real musical prodigy. She is "Miku" of Lovebites. And, once you dive in, you will know what I mean. Miyako Watanabe, I am sure you will remember that name forever. Thank you for your awesome reaction
Gorgeous and memorable! This is one of your best reaction/analysis! Your gifts lend themselves to this activity. Very evident that you are an educator! Well done!
I would recommend the song Swan Song (with Chopin intro) Live from Zepp Divercity Tokyo 2020. Can't go wrong.
Welcome to the Wolfpack.🐺. Formed in 2016 by former Destrose members, bassist Miho and drummer Haruna. They named the band after the Grammy winning song Love Bites (So DO I) by Halestorm. Lead singer , Asami, has joined Lzzy and the boys , at 2019 Download, to perform that song. Miyako and Midori (blond pony tail) shredding, are IMO 2 of the best today. Miho left in 2021, replaced in Oct 2022 by Fami. 60+ songs, some lean power metal, some lean thrash. Miyako is a classically trained pianist ( concert pianist level ability), check out Swan Song with Chopin piano into, also Thunder Vengeance and Break the Wall , all from this same show. To meet Fami, try Hammer of Wrath, Judgement Day, or Stand and Deliver(Shoot 'em Down), live from Knockin' At Heaven's Gate 2023.
I enjoy your videos and am very happy that you've finally discovered Lovebites! This is a very deep and wide rabbit hole that you will love immersing yourself in, I am sure! The Wolfepack has given you much good info already so I'll not be redundant but I'm very much looking forward to more of your reactions to their music! Enjoy the journey!!🤘

Lovebites and band maid this two bands masterclass of musik greetings from Germany
If you think Miyako is good on guitar. Dark haired guitarist. You need to hear her play piano. Swan Song is a perfect example live with the Chopin intro.
Guitar is just a hobby of hers, she started playing, when she was 18, and teached herself. Okay, now she has 15+ years of practice, but 30+ years on piano...
what the guitarists and bassists are doing in that short little bit is called tapping hammer on is a different thing completely (sorry guitarist here couldn't help myself ) I am attempting to learn the flute though (bamboo flute ) so I have much to lean about that instrument still . great reaction ! Cheers !

Did you noticed the piano on the stage ? ;)
I did not! 🫢
Now you got to do the swan song with Chopin intro😁. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Romania 🇷🇴
@@NittPicc Miyako, lead guitarist, is piano player. She learned guitar later in her music career. And in this concert showed her skill on both instruments.
@@NittPicc And for Swang song there are versions with Chopin intro and without. If i remember corectly, "full" version is not on official channel.
I absolutely loved your reaction/analysis to this! Please please please do more Lovebites songs! 😍😍😍
Hi - I can tell you why she has gloves. She has told that it is to not drop the sticks. She is very smal (4'9 or 145 cm) so she are holding the sticks at the ends for reach. You can also see that she has some black rubber stuff on the handles of the sticks for the same reason.

Excellent reaction, really cool hearing so many insights from someone who knows their stuff.. welcome to Lovebites! Some recommendations, Frozen Serenade, Break the Wall, Swan Song (w/ Chopin intro)
If you want to know what kind of musician Miyako is (the intimidating guitarist), watch „Swan Song“ with the Chopin Intro from 2020! In Rock and Metal, there is no musician (male or female) who has such talent and abilities she has…in my opinion!

Great, great reaction and review of a great, great metal band! That intimidating scary guitarist is Miyako. She’s a musical genius, composing many of Lovebites songs, multi instrumentalist, and world class classical pianist. Watch her shine in Lovebites’ performance of “Swan Song with Chopin Intro”, it will blow your socks off to see Chopin’s most difficult piano piece interwoven into the speed metal performance of “Swan Song with Chopin Intro.” Be sure to pick the one that specifically says Chopin Intro because there are a couple out there that lack it and it’s central to the song.😊❤
Note to reactor, I am posting this here because a vile troll who has been attacking the band, its fans and reactors with horrible and libelous comments, has appeared here in this comments section, look out for "@in..." , "@Be...", "@As..." , "@Ne..." , "@Ne..." , "@ba..." , "@Lov..." (these 7 trolling accounts are from the SAME troll, there may be more later). Note, this is just ONE troll with multiple trolling accounts. As part of his malicious trolling toolbox, he typically exploits "emotional" discussions in the comments sections of reactions which is what he's attempting to do here. I will explain further below.
Lovebites fans, the SAME troll that we know of is now in this comments section. No prizes for guessing who it is. Here is a quick current summary of this troll who possesses multiple trolling YT accounts (for those who are already familiar with this summary post, my latest update is in point (7) below) :
(1) He has so far been banned/blocked from 17 other reaction channels and counting for persistent trolling.
(2) He went to the LIVE premiers of both "M.D.O." and "We the United" to post horrible and libelous comments in the LIVE chat about the band. For example, he accused Asami of being an alcoholic.
(3) He has created AT LEAST 10 fake Lovebites accounts and used those accounts to post terrible comments in other bands' reactions/LIVE premiers while masquerading as "genuine Lovebites fans". His perverted goal is to create tension between the different fan communities.
(4) This SAME vile troll has created another (AT LEAST) 5 new fake Lovebites accounts recently and used those accounts to attack a Nemophila MV release "in the name of Lovebites". Again, this is designed to sow discord amongst the fanbases.
(5) He has created AT LEAST 3 fake BabyMetal accounts (2 of them not new to us) and posting "nice/positive" comments in their reactions so that he can claim that these accounts are "genuine BabyMetal fans", and then eventually use them to attack Lovebites or other bands' reactions/LIVE premiers. Again, the purpose of this vile troll is to create conflict between the different fanbases.
(6) Also recently, he even went to a Blackpink reaction using AT LEAST 3 fake Lovebites accounts to post his despicable nonsense. Again, the purpose is to create conflict between the fanbases of different bands/groups.
(7) This despicable troll is also trying to infiltrate the Wolfpack with some "new" trolling accounts that were created between 2019-2023, and some even older than 2019. I believe these "new" trolling accounts are meant to sow discord WITHIN the Lovebites community. Here are some of the reasons why :
(a) So far, these accounts have only posted a few "positive" comments here and there, so we should just let them be. But please be alert for any attitude/behavioral changes.
(b) Also, I have noticed some of these "new" trolling accounts that have been posting "positive" comments so far, have started to attack the reactors themselves, making the Wolfpack look bad in the eyes of the reactors. So watch out for this trolling tactic as well.
(c) Some of these "new" trolling accounts will eventually play "good cop"/"bad cop" and they'll "converse" among themselves to attempt to create further deception and chaos. For example, some will pretend to be "pro-Lovebites" or "pro-reactor", and others will pretend to be "anti-Lovebites" or "anti-reactor". This vile troll has tried to do something similar before, so be alert for this.
(d) Continued from point (c) above - one trolling permutation which has happened quite a lot recently is - the anti-Lovebites trolling YT accounts ("bad cops") will attack the reactors if the reaction is favorable to Lovebites, and they will "praise" the reactors if the reaction is not favorable to Lovebites. The reverse is true for the pro-Lovebites trolling YT accounts ("good cops"). So reactors, please be aware of this happening in the comments sections of your reactions. Again, no prizes for guessing who the "bad cop" is in this comments section.
(e) Recently, I also noticed that some of these so-called "pro-Lovebites" or "good cops" trolling accounts have also "attacked" the "anti-Lovebites" or "bad cops" in the comments sections just to gain "credibility" with the Wolfpack. Like I mentioned in point (a) above, if the "good cops" continue to post so-called "positive" comments, we should just let them be, but do be alert for any future change in attitude/behavior.
(f) This malicious troll will also use these "new" accounts to cause confusion and chaos by attempting to incriminate genuine Lovebites fans as "trolls". He has already tried this before, so also be aware of this and be on your guard.
(8) Will update the communities and the reactors when there is new info available.
Everyone, please be on alert, point 7(c) in my "troll summary" is happening right now in the @tonygriffin_ comment thread. Note that @tonygriffin_ is NOT the troll, the malicious troll is just using his comment thread to exploit the "emotional" discussions there. Remember, this troll is attempting to sow discord among the different fanbases.
Everyone, stay alert, note point 7(c) in my summary above. This is happening right now in the @tonygriffin_ thread. Note that @tonygriffin_ is NOT the troll, the vile troll is just exploiting the @tonygriffin_ comment thread to do the "good cops" vs "bad cops" thing.
Lovebites fans, stay on your toes ! Points 7(c) , 7(e) and 7(f) from my summary above are playing out right now in the "Tony Griffin" comment thread. Note that Tony is NOT the troll, the despicable troll has hijacked and is just exploiting his comment thread to play "good cops" vs "bad cops" to sow discord among the different fanbases. Band-Maid fans, if you go to the "Tony Griffin" comment thread, I would like to give you a heads up that those so-called "pro-Lovebites" or "anti-Band-Maid" or "anti-other bands" trolling accounts can be used to attack a Band-Maid reaction or LIVE premier in the future. Note that this vile troll has done this before at Nemophila's reactions/LIVE premiers.
