No one harmonizes LIVE like M&M, no one!!!! This was the best example of a Vulcan mind meld, even Mr. Spock would be stunned. Have to love Miho with her Steve Harris imitations.

This is just M&M showing off 😅 Miyako mentioned that she composed this song specifically for her and Midori to harmonize on the big stage. I can't think of another band who did what they did LIVE - overhand tapping in perfect synchronicity.
LOVEBITES - Signs of Deliverance lyrics: Locked inside of the dark You can't see me with your eyes A prisoner of your past You're so far away from me Hiding will not save you You're just drowning in your dreams Close your eyes and feel your heart Cause our time is limited A trivial fatalist Rusty activist All you do is breathe out poison Like a ghost with no place to go Can you hear? This is my word Brave until the end In this moment, we're alive Even though the sadness will never fade Brave until the end I won't cry for yesterday I am here, and I will go on living day to day We are all in solitude Even with a fragile heart Your true face under a mask No one knows who you really are A trivial fatalist Rusty activist All you do is breathe out poison Like a ghost with no place to go Can you hear? This is my word Brave until the end In this moment, we're alive Even though the sadness will never fade Brave until the end I won’t cry for yesterday I am here, and I will go on living day to day SOLO: both Brave until the end In this moment we're alive Even though the sadness will never fade Brave until the end I won't cry for yesterday I am here, and I WILL go on Brave until the end In this moment, we're alive I am here, and I will go on living day to day ----- lyrics: asami music: miyako arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) album: Electric Pentagram 01/29/2020
I heard this from someone in the classical music world some time ago. ``Even if a band is formed by a group of excellent soloists, it does not necessarily mean that an excellent band will be formed.'' I see. It is thought that excellent soloists are often people with strong self-assertion. In a band made up of such people, it is possible that the great talents of the individuals could have a negative effect, crushing each other's talents. If so, I think LOVEBITES is a special band. It feels like five extremely talented musicians have come together to produce a result like ``1+1+1+1+1=10''. This may be a common tendency among Japanese bands (especially female bands). It seems like he/she uses 50% of her talent to assert herself, and 50% of her talent to follow and respect other members. ---------- from Nippon *This is a text using Google Translate. I hope I conveyed my intentions correctly.
You did indeed! A very astute observation on your part. Every member of the band is evident in the process of each song. This really points to humility and focus on each member's part, Thank you!
When virtually every song becomes a favourite until the next one, and every time you hear a song again you find something else that surprises you, you know you're listening to lovebites, they're on a level above another level imo, they play like goddesses and look like goddesses. When 5 become 1, legends in the making. 🤘🎤🎸🎹🥁🐺
To appear easy, you (most of the time) have to work hard for it! In 2018 I saw Lovebites for the first time and then also live - what a path these women have been on for more than 5 years now, from an incredibly well-playing band, yes, a memorably well-playing combo, to the band that Lovebites will be at the end of 2023 is and represents, this is a path of will, of work and the desire to be better than the day before, which most musicians and bands in this world will never go, will never be able to go - even bands that are already 20, 30 years in business!
As always it is very interesting to watch with you Lovebites videos. I think most Japanese bands are very disciplined. Band members remember what they need to do during each song at a concert. There are even crosses drawn on the floor of the stage where they should stand so that the cameras and lights hit them perfectly. Thank you for the video. More Lovebites on the channel! Have you watched live video "Spellbound" yet?
The Demo of “Signs of Deliverance” dates to January or February 2018, and LOVEBITES have been playing it live since July 2019, when it was still untitled. Miyako said that she wanted a song where she and Midori would be tapping together in the center of the stage. From the album Electric Pentagram Lyrics: Asami Music: Miyako Arrangement: Miyako/Lovebites
thanx for getting this one in there - i knew you'd love it. 'we the united' from the zepp show in 2020 posted by karina serrano is the best version imo. the m+m fistbump at the end of their epic solo is great. the complete ending with the bows to the crowd is cut short but not the song. there is another one by the poster named fil that is the same - no complete ending
Thanks again for another gem of a review - coming from a musician - your deep but concise reflection of what it takes to deliver next-level excellence: commitment, dedication, and practice +++. Read their wiki, the year following their debut, they won the Metal Hammer Golden Gods award for Best New Band (2018) - a first for any Japanese band. They were also the first Japanese female band to perform at Wacken Open Air (2018) in Germany - the leading metal concert in Europe. The following year, they toured the UK ... not Japan - with DragonForce - one of the "big four" power metal bands. So they knew early on what their calling was about ... to consistently perform at the highest level, creating history, and everything that this requires and demands. The year 2024 promises the be a watershed year for LOVEBITES after ther long hiatus, when the they will start to become a mainstage and headliner band in the heavy metal universe.
Thanks for watching! They could more than hold their own on a tour with Dragonforce. The only question would be....who closes? lol In my mind it would be Lovebites!

Mainstage at Hellfest will be their biggest crowd ever. It‘s a really massive stage! Bloodstock is nothing compared to that. 60 k people attend this festival in France.
I have about 30 years of metal behind me and I can say, with complete objectivity, that I have NEVER heard solo guitarist duos as incredible in perfection and creativity as those played by M§M. This is perfection and synchronization at its highest level. More generally, these young women form the best group in the history of metal. With all due respect to everyone else.
@@RockCandy-ix3nn It's been 60 years since I started playing guitar (at 11 years old) and I'm not bad but unpretentious. But if I were in the presence of these two geniuses (M§M) I would be so petrified with admiration that I would be incapable of playing the slightest note!!!
Folks! This is talent! But make no mistake about it, it didn’t come without hard work and dedication. I can’t even fathom the amount of hours and hours of practicing! They will live on forever, deservingly so! You are absolutely right, we are witnessing something special and new. I hope these ladies become the biggest band in the world! They deserve it! 🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
i think out of all the videos this is my favorite miyako moment. at 1:53 asami comes over to her and miyako puts that gorgeous leg up on the riser and gives asami a smokin' smile and mouths the words. oh my !
To pull off a double overhanded tapping solo like that LIVE is just sheer genius.. No one out there quite like these ladies.. Thanks for another very cool reaction, Do both of the videos, can never get enough Lovebites... When the World looks back on Lovebites it will say, How and Why did we take so long to recognise these Ladies for what they are? Best wishes from France
Yes. They are an important band in this time. Future historians & audiophiles will recognise that. When they formed they considered themselves as the lone protectors of Heavy Metal. Hence the Lone Wolf symbolism in all their artwork. they have their place in music history.

Welcome back, RC. Regarding which "We The United" to watch: I think their "Five of a Kind Tour", Live at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020 is the best choice. It's a much more emotional performance and it includes a much better finale with a great group stage bow. The only version of it that I can find (currently) on RUclips that includes the full finale is the one that also has "Edge of the World" before it (which you've already reacted to). I think it is well worth it to check out that version, with both songs, to get the full emotional impact of not just "We the United", but also the big finale of a legendary show. Here is the version I found: ruclips.net/video/v0azmPD_KE0/видео.htmlsi=tNzTJtJiqSLYjpfy 🤘🐺🤘
if one day someone tells you that a metal band is better than Lovebites, to prove it, that band would have to do a better harmonized solo than this performance. For me, this video is the yardstick by which to judge and compare.
These LADIES are next LEVEL 🔥🐺M&M ❤️!!!!!
No one harmonizes LIVE like M&M, no one!!!! This was the best example of a Vulcan mind meld, even Mr. Spock would be stunned. Have to love Miho with her Steve Harris imitations.

Best duo in the world. They make it look like child's play. Such an incredibly talented band. Love them! Great reaction!🤘
hehehe M&M make me smile , not much else does but they do every time ! 🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺
Yeah, I always feel like I look Like I have a banana in my mouth sideways whenever M&M start up.
@@RockCandy-ix3nn lol hope you see the link i sent below Asami is also my hero in a different way then Miyako
I won't argue with you on this, you're just right!

Those twin lead guitar solos by Midori and Miyako are already legendary.
LOVEBITES - Signs of Deliverance lyrics:
Locked inside of the dark
You can't see me with your eyes
A prisoner of your past
You're so far away from me
Hiding will not save you
You're just drowning in your dreams
Close your eyes and feel your heart
Cause our time is limited
A trivial fatalist
Rusty activist
All you do is breathe out poison
Like a ghost with no place to go
Can you hear? This is my word
Brave until the end
In this moment, we're alive
Even though the sadness will never fade
Brave until the end
I won't cry for yesterday
I am here, and I will go on living day to day
We are all in solitude
Even with a fragile heart
Your true face under a mask
No one knows who you really are
A trivial fatalist
Rusty activist
All you do is breathe out poison
Like a ghost with no place to go
Can you hear? This is my word
Brave until the end
In this moment, we're alive
Even though the sadness will never fade
Brave until the end
I won’t cry for yesterday
I am here, and I will go on living day to day
SOLO: both
Brave until the end
In this moment we're alive
Even though the sadness will never fade
Brave until the end
I won't cry for yesterday
I am here, and I WILL go on
Brave until the end
In this moment, we're alive
I am here, and I will go on living day to day

Welcome back, RC.
Regarding which "We The United" to watch: I think their "Five of a Kind Tour", Live at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020 is the best choice. It's a much more emotional performance and it includes a much better finale with a great group stage bow. The only version of it that I can find (currently) on RUclips that includes the full finale is the one that also has "Edge of the World" before it (which you've already reacted to). I think it is well worth it to check out that version, with both songs, to get the full emotional impact of not just "We the United", but also the big finale of a legendary show.
