      @Byrvurra Год назад +1

      That's the sort of self deprecating thing I would expect a Japanese person to say about themselves. Anyways, a flashy bassist counts for something in metal. In a band like Lovebites, there's really no room for weak links and she could keep up with the rest of them just fine. Anyways we have her to thank for Lovebites, so thank you Miho.

    Thanks for your reaction. 'Awake Again Live from Abyss' is a concert that took place on October 25, 2020. This concert was dedicated to the 3rd anniversary of the release of the first Studio Album LOVEBITES 'Awakening from Abyss' (October 25, 2017). During the concert, LOVEBITES performed all the songs from the Album 'Awakening from Abyss' (in the same order) + the song of the band HELLOWEEN 'Eagle Fly Free' (1988) .
    Due to the ban on public events in Japan (Covid-19 pandemic), LOVEBITES were unable to perform in concert halls. Therefore, the band gave a concert in the studio, which was broadcast live on the Internet. The concert was released on DVD and Blu-ray 'Awake Again - Live from Abyss' (December 25, 2020)

    Thanks for reacting to this one guys, this cover has become one of my favourite Lovebites tracks on its own merits, even before I eventually checked out the Helloween original!
    I urge you to follow this up (while the song is fresh in your minds) with Miyako's astonishing piano cover. She reinterprets all of those solos, including the bass tapping line, on the keyboard, and turns it into a classical masterpiece in the process. Miyako is holding a piano recital in Tokyo this month, which has long since sold out. The EP this is from, Etude Op.23, includes piano covers of Metallica (Battery), Deep Purple (Burn), Gary Moore and Yngwie Malmsteen. She is truly a musical prodigy. I'll add the link to Eagle Fly Free. Cheers.

    Helloween is Haruna‘s favorite metal band and Ingo the original drummer is maybe her main influence.
    Both bands know each other since they both played at Wacken 2018. Haruna and Miyako went to see Helloween’s concert in Osaka just 2 months ago. They‘ve met with all band members backstage. Miyako also was out for a drink with Helloween’s bassist Markus the night before.

      @rainerzufall42 Год назад +6

      Actually, in 1996, Ingo was already dead, so it was Uli Kusch, who's drum playing Haruna admired, and what made her starting her own drumming career. I was in this confusion as well, but both drummers were epic!

    This cover meets the original. I find Miho's work on the bass guitar amazing. You can constantly hear her beside the other guitars, contributing to the main melodies, like in Helloween's original.
    This cover shows, that _Helloween_ belongs to the timeless giants of Metal. And it shows, that Lovebites _honor_ them (and that is just right), and that they are even with Helloween, technically. Hats off!
    *Nemophila* did an awesome Helloween cover, too. 😁

    @GrayFox14 Год назад +16

    Thank you for paying attention to Miho and Haruna.👍👍Usually the main focus is on the guitarists and vocalists. In the case of LOVEBITES, it's well deserved. Without a doubt, Midori (my favorite band member #1), Miyako and Asami (my favorite band member #2) are great. But as for this video, I want to say, first of all, about Miho and Haruna. Miho and Haruna were able to show off their skills in this song with their bass and drum solos. It's a shame that LOVEBITES has very few songs that feature Miho and Haruna solos.
    Miho and Haruna are a great rhythm section. They are a powerful, reliable foundation on which the tall edifice of LOVEBITES was built. Largely thanks to the excellent rhythm section (Miho and Haruna), the other members of the band were able to realize themselves as musicians, show their skills, and shine on stage.
    Unfortunately, many fans do not understand what a huge contribution Miho made to the success and international recognition of LOVEBITES ( as a musician, as a songwriter, as the leader and "brains" of the band). Miho is a reliable, great metal bassist, but not all fans admit it. Sometimes I think: "Maybe these fans have hearing problems?"🤔

    Another great reaction. I miss Miho, but she had to step away for some reason we'll never know. Fami's incredible talent makes her a worthy successor to the 'Natural Born Headbanger'. You got a great recommendation in the comments above. While it's fresh in your head, you should check out *Miyako's Piano cover* . She has beautifully re-imagined this Helloween song as a Classical Piano piece. When they met backstage after Helloween's Japan concert, there are pictures of Miyako and Michael Weiketh (composer) sitting together in discussion - where *_I'm sure_* there was a conversation about Eagle Fly Free.

    Miho is a phenomenal bassist, there's a lot of Cliff Burton in her playing, imo. Her range from frenzy bass in songs like this and "Hammer Of Wrath" to a slow, almost bluesy, syeady foundation on "Frozen Serenade" is incredible. You could always sense the connection she had with Haruna, having played together in Destrose before co-founding Lovebites. The band was actually lucky to find a prodigy like Fami who could seemlessly fit when Miho left.

    I expected Miho Rosana to form a new band after leaving LOVEBITES and then give concerts with these ladies, playing her own songs that she created during her time with LOVEBITES . She knows all the best female guitarists and drummers in Japan personally. Plus 2 or 3 new songs and a few covers. That quickly adds up to 16 or 17 top songs, perfect for a first-class heavy metal concert. It wouldn't have to be a permanent band, but 4 or 5 concerts a year, I think you could organize that financially successfully. Unfortunately this did not happen. Miho played a few concerts a year ago in a cover band with her buddies Yoshi (Aldious), Saki (Nemophila), Hina (TSP) and Maki Oyama. At these concerts they even played Nemophila songs, but none of Miho's LOVEBITES songs. This means she is not "allowed" to because of contracts that were made when she left LOVEBITES . LOVEBITES was probably afraid of competition during the hiatus, which is understandable. However, I sincerely hope that a musician's rights to play her own songs live have not been taken away for life. Many are afraid of competition, but the truth is competition at a high level stimulates business.

      It was a live concert that was broadcast live over the Internet. At the same time, recording was taking place for the subsequent release of the concert on DVD/Blu-ray. The studio space is small compared to the concert hall. The screen for the drummer allows you to get a cleaner and better sound. The screen prevents unnecessary noise and interference from entering the recording, which improves the overall level of sound recording. This is especially important when recording live sound.
