Haruna doesn't hit the dome of the ride. She has a bell on the ride she hits. Freeze at 12:09 and look on her right you will see it. It is a signature thing she has used forever.
@@jamesgreen5431 I understand what you write, and I can see it, but that's not what he hits, believe me, I'm a drummer too. Watch the video of the FOAK concert, you can clearly see him hitting the ice bell from 3.50 on. ruclips.net/video/Zr99B4RvaMc/видео.htmlsi=UjTY05lRVEbmxsyL&t=230 :)
@@bobcieslinski Absolutely true! If Miyako would only write *Metal* songs, she could already finance her life with that. *But* she also masters Classical music, and finds amazing ways to combine those genres. We all knew somehow, that that should be possible, but Miyako _proves_ it with her incredible songwriting. *And* she is personally modest enough to stay with LOVEBITES, instead of going seperate ways to shine on her own. What an outstanding, phenomenal lady. Songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, mentally free, and "team player". Like Asami once went, "Every band ought to have a Miyako." 🤷♂
The "E" songs are their ballads, or in this case , partial ballad. The other 2, "Empty Daydream" and "Epilogue" are both on the 2nd album, both played live in Tokyo 2019. Love songs that use a slow build, especially when they finish strong like this. Another reactor I watch was at their show in Dallas last night, he said they are just as good in person as their live videos make them look.
In a period of about 18 months the fledgling LOVEBITES wrote and recorded the revered “E Songs” - Edge of the World on their debut album “Awakening from Abyss” and Epilogue and Empty Daydream from “Clockwork Immortality”. Each one a masterpiece and all three performed live on their debut DVD “Daughters of the Dawn”.
A masterstroke (again). There's so much beauty in this - it always touches the deepest layers of my soul. These brilliant ladies add a lot of (real) value to my life.
Good reaction. This song is from the album “Awakening from Abbys” from 2017. There are several live versions on RUclips. For me the best live version is from their concert “Five of a Kind” from 2020. Great song written by Mao, who wrote several songs for Lovebites. Lyrics by Asami. Thanks for this reaction.
Each and every of those ladies is _exceptional_ , individually. Miyako and Fami are surely musical _prodigies_ . Together, as LOVEBITES, they are writing (Metal) music history already. What a privilege to experience that.
Great reaction Bob. Hope you are well. Miyako’s guitar solo in the early section is one of my favourites. There’s so much soul in it. I’m always happy when you point out Haruna. She is a gem of a player.
I've been a blues fan as long as I can remember. This is one of the greatest blues solos I've ever heard, and they plunked it down in the middle of a progressive rock masterpiece. Freakin' genius.
Thanks for doing the reaction of this song. Many people are doing reactions of Lovebites but in my opinion, you are the best of breaking down their musics.
Miyako on piano with Asami's vocals and Midori's weeping guitar how does it get any better? Easy Miyako doing her great Gary Moore (one of her favorite influences) rendition on guitar. Ice Queen......LMAO, there was more emotion and feeling during that solo than someone jumping around all over a stage playing guitar. Lovebites, and only them, can transition from one type of music into another without any effort and do it flawlessly. One of the "3" great "E" songs by the group (Empty Daydream and Epilogue are the other two). This band always surprises but NEVER EVER disappoints. Many of my musical friends swear that this much talent in one band is simply unfair and should be illegal...LOL. Great reaction and review as always. This is one group that always seems to really bring out your best responses!!!!
Speaking Gary Moore as an influence ... there needs to be a meeting of Miyako and Tommy Johansson (look him up on RUclips if you're not familiar). Tommy's another great composer/arranger.
One of my many favorites from Lovebites!! I have very few friends that love metal the way I do and this is an awesome song to use as 'gateway' to introduce someone new into the genre and band! Thanks for your consistent support of Lovebites, Bob!!🤘
The major reason we blessed with Mi-Ya as a Metal composer and superb musician, is she was only eighth for her college piano audition. She decided on a different path.
The guitar work is so memorable in this song, both from Midori and that amazing solo from Miyako. Haruna's drumming great as always and that note from Asami...wow! 🎹🎸🎤🐺🤘
Actually, this is an old song of theirs. It's from their first studio album. Proof that they were writing and performing masterpieces right from the start. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
When I was a child, I took piano lessons for a little while, and I also briefly learned singing and choir. But I enjoyed playing outside and doing crafts more, so by the time I was ten, I quit both piano and choir. Now, I absolutely love listening to your professional music analysis. I think it’s because I had some basic music education that I can really understand your explanations. I’m grateful to my parents for exposing me to music at a young age, and I sometimes wonder what things would be like if I had continued with piano. Please keep up your amazing song analyses. Thank you! ❤
Herb you made my day buddy. Thank you so much for the kind words. It was great that your parents got you involved. If you ever feel like getting back into anything there are always local community groups for you to get involved with musically.
👏Amazing reaction, highly appreciated Bob, thank you so much! 🙏😊 This is an amazing motivational song. It starts with "having the Blues" and asking fundamental questions on life, changes to an amazing "wake-up mood" with quicker and more "rocking" beats, and ends up bursting into driving Metal beats and utmost uplifting messages: "Never ever be afraid of standing up", "Never give it up", "Until the day you meet your end, it 's not over", "How you live will always live on, as your way of life, forever", and so on. One of the most anti-depressive songs I ever heard. I never ever got to know so many uplifting songs from Metal bands like I found from Nemophila, LOVEBITES, Hanabie and HÁGANE. Japan is contributing big to a better world. BTW: *The ticking at the end of this song* is an acoustic symbol for the album title/motto "Clockwork Immortality". The clock of lifetime is ticking for all of us. What do we do with our lifetime? What is important to us, what do we want to do and achieve, what do we want to leave behind? The way we live (and die!) *will* send out a message. DE/GER
si quieres emociones y escuchar a las guitarras llorar deberias escuchar el tema llamado epilogue sin duda bajo mi opinion el tema mas emotivo de loveites
You saw in this video why these ladies have the nic names they have. Miyako The Golden Touch, Asami One and Only Voice, Haruna Little Big Engine, Midori Crazy Shredder, Fami Shinning Fingers.
Haruna’s drumming is nuanced and elegant. There’s no wasted motion. Her fills are exciting, not excessive, and she brings the perfect thunder from the double kicks.

New video of one of their many masterpieces. Miyako is a 💯 verified virtuoso pianist, and I agree a virtuoso guitarist too, I also think that Midori is a genuine virtuoso guitarist, to be honest, everyone in this band is at the highest level in what they do, Miyako is a bit special though, but I think Fami is following the same path which is a good thing 🤘🎤🎸🎹🥁🐺
A Lovebites classic (sound-wise I prefer the 2020 live recording though). Every time I listen to this masterpiece, I say to myself "I only want to hear Miyako's beautiful solo", but of course then I must listen to the whole song, because it's a masterpiece. Rock anthems like this one have been written and performed in the eighties, but not ever after. Which is just another proof to my theory that Lovebites has come to us to save music from getting boring.
Great review and analysis as usual Bob ! This song is an epic masterpiece and it's melodic storytelling at its finest. The ticking sound at the end is the intro leading to the next song on the set which you should check out too - "Soldier Stands Solitarily" : ruclips.net/video/30yWisiRBuM/видео.html
Bob is a real bro. He didnt forget Lovebites. Very nice. They are after all the greatest metal band in the world right now. And they just keep evolving. Imagine how badass they will be in 10 years if they are this good right now. That is terrifying. Gotta love it
This is one of the four "E" songs (songs that started with an E). While a bit more rocking than Epilogue, it still demonstrates the ballad ability of the group, and certainly is different from their usual heavy metal approach. However, as you said, the song is carefully put together and leads from the soft and beautiful approach to a much heavier conclusion. Glad you reacted to it!
@@bobcieslinski If you ever do Epilogue, there is two song version the basically runs together and is the recommended version. This link goes to that plus includes subtitles because the lyrics, especially in the beginning, are quite meaningful. ruclips.net/video/1ynnXDfEnnY/видео.html
@@bobcieslinski Sometimes it seems my replies vanish, so hopefully this is a repeat. Epilogue is generally played as a two song video, backed with Don't Bite the Dust, and viewing the two together is the best way to watch the music video. I believe it even further showcases their talents. Recommended link is as follows since it includes both songs (pretty much as one but you'll understand when you hear it) and also has subtitles as the lyrics by Asami, especially in the beginning, are quite meaningful. BTW, I personally think this is Miyako's best emotional solo. Link is: ruclips.net/video/1ynnXDfEnnY/видео.html
I thought the clock sound was from a timekeeper that musicians use (I don't recall the name of it, I'm not a musician just a music lover and I love this band)!!!!! (Epilog) is a very emotional ballad that you really owe it to yourself to react to!!!!! Thank you for what you do!!!!!
When I finally received Awakening for Abyss in June of 2018 and heard that song for the first time I already knew that it was going to become such a masterpiece and classic and is going to endure the sands of time. It's not a new song per se but a new recording of an older song which appeared back in 2017 album Awakening from Abyss. My guess they put the clock sound to give a slight hint of the up coming album after Awakening to Clockwork Immortality on this album they utilized the clock sound quite a bit. I am sure that many have mention the Lovebites "E" songs and you've just heard the first one now jump to Empty Daydream and Epilogue. Empty Daydream ruclips.net/video/lXh_uMM94jU/видео.html another Miyako piano intro Epilogue ruclips.net/video/JIAJYBuuKGM/видео.html the only true power ballad with acoustic guitar intro by both ladies and Miyako jumps on the piano
Another interesting and informative reaction. I don't think I've seen a reaction to Soldier Stands solitarily. I can only advise you to hold on to your headphones when you do that one! Gotta love Haruna. What a woman!!
My personal nominee for "Top 10 greatest Metal songs of all time". Musically, as well as in terms of its *lyrics* . Urgently needed, timeless. Like Iron Maiden's "Paschendale". DE/GER

ASAMI is GREAT WOMAN, PERSON! And mother of a child.
Clock ticking is for all of us, and for HUMANITY if it exist (my saying).
They are phenomenal. Love the very similar Deep Purple breakdown (Child In Time) starting at 8:16. Miyako was a Deep Purple fan growing up.
Great group!
the passage after miyakos bluesy solo in "break the wall " with that organ is definitly a respectful tribute to jon lord.
Totally agree!!! DEEP PURPLE song CHILD IN TIME from the beginning of 70's. Two best bands in one GREAT song.
LOVEBITES - Edge Of The World lyrics:
Why do we learn to hate, deceive and lie, hurt each other？
Why does it never end？ The sorrow keeps on repeating
Wailing, come downpours of the rain
Will it end？ No one ever knows
Wondering, what only time can tell
What is at the end of life？
Why do we only see our own desires？ Greed is endless
Why is there authority when there is no justice in their rulings
Struggling like feeble, helpless fools
Will it end？ No one ever knows
Wandering, not knowing where to go
Carrying the breath of life
SOLO: miyako
Standing at… The Edge of the World
SOLO: midori / both / midori
As long as you're still alive, remember
- don't fear standing up, don't ever give it up
Until the day you meet your end, it's not over
- let your soul shine inside of your heart
SOLO: midori
As long as you're still alive, remember
- keep your dignity, stay true to who you are
Until the day you meet your end, it's not over
- let your heart love and always be loved
SOLO: midori
How you live will always live on
As your way of life, forever
How you live will always live on
As your way of life, forever
How you live will always live on
As your way of life, forever
SOLO: both

There was nothing left in those petit little lungs of Asami after that note. Such breath control. Makes my eyes leak every time I see it.
Mind blowing notes. They were full and rich and beautiful.
Haruna doesn't hit the dome of the ride. She has a bell on the ride she hits. Freeze at 12:09 and look on her right you will see it. It is a signature thing she has used forever.

I can't imagine ever hearing a better intro to a Rock ballad. Or a better Rock ballad. Or a better band. So emotional, so skilled, so perfect.
You said it Tony.
I can't imagine a better comment.
SYMPHONY X "A Winters Dream", or "Candlelight Fantasia", or "Communion and the Oracle".

I have never noticed the ticking clock at the end before but it is so in keeping with the song's theme. So clever!
It is the introduction of the next song "soldier stands solitarily"

Recommended link is as follows since it includes both songs (pretty much as one but you'll understand when you hear it) and also has subtitles as the lyrics by Asami, especially in the beginning, are quite meaningful. BTW, I personally think this is Miyako's best emotional solo. Link is: ruclips.net/video/1ynnXDfEnnY/видео.html
Got it. Thank I’ll check it out.
I thought the clock sound was from a timekeeper that musicians use (I don't recall the name of it, I'm not a musician just a music lover and I love this band)!!!!! (Epilog) is a very emotional ballad that you really owe it to yourself to react to!!!!! Thank you for what you do!!!!!
Thanks Clint! You are thinking of a metronome. The clock sound was cool.
When I finally received Awakening for Abyss in June of 2018 and heard that song for the first time I already knew that it was going to become such a masterpiece and classic and is going to endure the sands of time. It's not a new song per se but a new recording of an older song which appeared back in 2017 album Awakening from Abyss. My guess they put the clock sound to give a slight hint of the up coming album after Awakening to Clockwork Immortality on this album they utilized the clock sound quite a bit. I am sure that many have mention the Lovebites "E" songs and you've just heard the first one now jump to Empty Daydream and Epilogue.
Empty Daydream ruclips.net/video/lXh_uMM94jU/видео.html another Miyako piano intro
Epilogue ruclips.net/video/JIAJYBuuKGM/видео.html the only true power ballad with acoustic guitar intro by both ladies and Miyako jumps on the piano
Thanks Sal! I appreciate the info and links!
Another interesting and informative reaction. I don't think I've seen a reaction to Soldier Stands solitarily. I can only advise you to hold on to your headphones when you do that one! Gotta love Haruna. What a woman!!

My personal nominee for "Top 10 greatest Metal songs of all time". Musically, as well as in terms of its *lyrics* . Urgently needed, timeless. Like Iron Maiden's "Paschendale". DE/GER
