![Musicians react to hearing LOVEBITES Epilogue Daughters of the Dawn - Live in Tokyo 2019] (w lyrics)](/img/1.gif)
Because Electric Pentagram came out in winter, Asami wanted a sad winter ballad, the acoustic electric guitar was played and recorded by Miyako, but Live Midori has to play it because Miyako is busy on the piano! 🤘
This is why I rate Lovebites as the best band ever. They can do anything male or mixed bands can do, only better, but they can do this. This isn’t just a song, or a performance, it’s a production. And it’s a production that’s beautiful both to listen to and to watch. No male band could replicate what you just watched. Great reaction, but please, a little more love for vocalist Asami. She wrote and composed this along with band collaborator Mao Yamamoto. Did you not see her short balletic interlude? Not having a go at you, it’s just that as self proclaimed world’s greatest Asami fan I’m always in her corner! 🙂
Miyako sitting at piano with guitar on her lap about 4-5 months pregnant. Midori on the acoustic leaves me speechless. Asami gets to show off her ballet skills.
The the small upside down cymbal you didn't identify is Haruna's Ice Bell. She can use it to great effect. At the end of this song with the keyboards playing from backing track Haruna reminds me of the late great John Panozzo.
Midori's guitar solo is 1970's classic rock guitar hero level.
A lot of band doing ballads seem to do the same country/southern rock riff so they all sound alike. Lovebites knows how to do a ballad. There isn't a ballad of theirs that I don't love. Edge of the World, Empty Daydream and Epilogue are all exceptional ballads. Frozen Serenade is special.
Asami's lyrics are very poetic.
A frozen melody
Of doves and ravens dancing in melancholy
A distant memory
If only this snow could erase the pain
I'd wake up in a serenade
That's Joan Baez level lyrics.
It IS a masterpiece. How many bands would kill to have ONE song on this level?
Another Banger reaction. As O'bud said, Miyako is playing an Infinite guitar. They are specifically designed for 'infinite' sustain. A little sad you didn't seem to notice Asami's bit of ballet theater on that catwalk, and how Perfectly she matched her last movement with the end of that bridge. Asami took ballet for 16 years, and then went to the US to study modern dance and hip hop. But when she went back to Japan she discovered that @ 4'10" she was considered 'too short' for a ballerina. So she started singing R&B, and was actually with a group that played the Budokan. Then she auditioned for Lovebites, discovered she had a Talent for 'belting', and the rest is Metal History.
"A Frozen Serenade" is just a must-see! It's so beautiful and versatile showing big winter mood and much dynamic. Not to forget that epic baseline! One of LOVEBITES' biggest master pieces (Asami's Winter Ballad)...
Simply masterpiece and epic. Theatrical luxury scenery.. one of my favs. 👍🤘
Welcome back guys… this song is a true masterpiece from Lovebites… I would like to recommend a band called Destrose… a lot of today’s Japanese female metal band… their members came from Destrose… like Lovebites…Nemophila…Mary’s Blood… and many more… if you guys are interested, I would like to recommend a song called “Maze”… here’s the link ruclips.net/video/vgWwXA8WmOQ/видео.html
Miyako’s guitar is not a Strat, it’s a Infinite ST, Japanese boutique brand. Very expensive
It's not a Fender, but definitly very Strat-inspired.
@@realdocloco But Miyako does have a custom Fender Stratocaster!
As far as I know, it’s Miyako’s only guitar without her beloved wood grain.
@@PaleHorseShabuShabu now that you say it, I think you're 👍
@@PaleHorseShabuShabu Also her original Fender's have no wood grain!
A classic already - such a touching song and what an enchanting performance! This band has lifted the metal genre - and that in every respect - to inconceivable heights. Right now, these ladies are without equals.
If I remember correctly, Haruna's current setup has 14 cymbals, not counting the three star-cymbals which are only for show.
Judging by her Twitter feed, it’s almost constantly updating.
I think she may be up to 15 now. I noticed a tiny new cymbal to the left of her high hat. There as also a new cymbal under her crash, but I think that one is a replacement. Also, gotta remember that the star in front of her kit 'spins'.
Stand by my comment: song should be on every playlist ever! Now do you know what I meant by no one's doing this at shows...when was the last time you saw a heavy metal band pull out piano, acoustic, and a ballerina in the middle of the show??!! 🙂 Great reaction and geek out analysis of the instruments, love it! I'll defend Shadowmaker MV is a must react; obsessed with that video! I probably recommended it. 😂 🤘
Nothing like specialized praise that only applies to one band!
@@PaleHorseShabuShabu 💯!!
Also agree with shadowmaker mv. For myself and many others, that original version with the ad after the first chorus was our intro to the band. While I prefer every other song live, I will always choose the shadowmaker mv because that was my first experience with lovebites.
@@shazariahl mine too! Love that MV!
@@shazariahl I think that was my first official video from the band as well, though I think I saw “Rising” and the live version of “Holy War” on the same night.
One of the greatest songs ever written, of any genre.
That acoustic works so well with the piano here. And ,yes, that bassline is killer.
Sam, you're not alone in not being able to drive in snow, here in Buffalo there are a lot of people that can't do it either. 🤣
Next for LOVEBITES? I recommend Break The Wall, live.(Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020 is a good version)
haven't closely checked this song out in a while but speaking as a bassist: damn, Miho's bass-lines in this are a fucking workout! So great!
This is one of Miho’s top basslines for sure. It’s a fun one to play.
@@PaleHorseShabuShabu I'd just be unable to play those damn quick runs 😂
@@NewAeonWarlord You should try the outro for “Glory to the World.” Miho is doing work! Sometimes I wonder just how good she actually is.
I agree with you guys! Without Princess Asami, this song simply would not exist. This was her idea, and she co-composed the song with their collaborator Mao. Her expressive and sublimely delivered performance, both in body and voice, are what take this song to the top! Thanks for continuing to discover these ladies!
MIyako was 6 months pregnancy in this concert. Mama metal 🤘
I'm surprised you haven't already done this one, its a fan favourite. It's not every day you take a metal band, throw in some acoustic guitar and piano, mixed with a vocalist who is ballet trained, and put the whole lot in a snow globe! Pure magic. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Next Lovebites song: "Spellbound" Live! You will see the funny side of Miyako!
Asami was a ballerina for a decade
Beautiful beyond words 🐺
Masterpiece.
This is in my top 5 Lovebites songs, it's just amazing!
Love their ballads. Love the emotion they can show their instruments and Asami's vocals.
My favorite song from LOVEBITES performed beautifully. Midori’s solo is my favorite part, but Haruna is always such a damn good drummer, Asami does a wonderful job emoting and performing, Miho is playing one of her better basslines, and Miyako brings her usual ease and greatness. What a song.
How many true masterpieces are there in the history of rock? A dozen? I would name “A Day in the Life” by the Beatles; “The End” by the Doors; “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen; “Kashmir” by Led Zeppelin; “Layla” by Derek and the Dominoes; “The Great Gig in the Sky” by Pink Floyd; “Starless” by King Crimson; “Ghost Love Score” by Nightwish… maybe a few more. Few rock groups have ever produced a masterpiece, and some of the greatest never managed it. Lovebites have given us several, and I would put this performance at the top of the list. Thank you for checking this out.
I'm a freak for this band. So far I have watch 38 live videos. I have also watched their Waken live appearance, and their Bloodstock appearance
Co co cool
One of LOVEBITES "WONDERFUL" song.....
Great job doing this reaction. I appreciate the discussion about instruments and stuff! Thank you very much!
ミヤコがストラトタイプを弾いてることに言及してることが素晴らしい。
As expected, Miho fits well and is cool.
🤘🏽LOVEBITES RULES🤘🏽
Okay guys, you got me into a Ballad type of feeling.
Here is another Ballad from Lovebites: Epilogue from 2019 Daughters of the Dawn concert.
ruclips.net/video/JIAJYBuuKGM/видео.html
But it is time to have some fun with awesome crowd interaction with Raise Some Hell from the five of a Kind concert in 2020.
ruclips.net/video/zamSQD0JUFk/видео.html
Then it is time to get caught up and see Fami in her first concert and the Bands first show since 2021 with Hammer of Wrath from Knocking at Heavens Gate in 2023.

Thanks for this one guys, its nice to see how much you appreciated the piano and acoustic breakdown, that to me transforns this song from an already excellent ballad to Masterpiece status. Another aspect that I love is Haruna's machine gun precision drumming in the final section.
Next suggestion, Today is the Day, from the same 2021 concert. (Link below) Features more piano, and not from Miyako! I'll leave you to ponder that. 😊 Cheers.

🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺💪🤘🤘🤘🤘AMAZING CLASSIC FORSURE! The arrangement reminds me back in the 70s stlye combination of MOLLY HATCHET, THE OUTLAWS AND SKYNYRD days with of course with a LOVEBITES SPIRIT!
🔥LOVEBITES🐺MASTERCLASS🔥
THE BEST👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
masterpiece song, for me Lovebites is more than power metal band \m/
Miyako's blue strat is made by a company called "Infinite" and is called the "Trad Fullsize ST" (custom) with a set of Bareknuckle Apache single coils. I'm pretty sure she picked this guitar for this song since it's one of very few she owns that would be comfortable when sat at a piano, notwithstanding the outstanding tone it has for this track. I'm fairly sure this is the only song she uses this guitar. So much to absorb with this track, but you completely missed Asami through the middle section - her ballet background is totally on display. Liked the analysis here.
I don't think you have done their latest video - "The Hammer Of Wrath" from 2023 with Fami's debut live performance!
ruclips.net/video/pHrWRT0Jeac/видео.html
I heard mustaine and randy rhoads at the same times
Sounds like it could be the opening to a James Bond movie
I was watching your critique of on fire by love bites and the previous one I think you did Holy Wars also. All of those that you have critiqued so far except for the studio video, we're all Miho the original bassplayer. Fami, is the new bass player and she was the one playing The Headless Bass when you commented on that video
Like the Lovebites reactions guys!!! Keep it up!!
beautiful song, but .. constantly pops up in my head Space - Souvenir from Rio
🎶👸🌹... Best Song... ❤
Anything 2021 and before is Miho guys.
In the music store video, that black 59 Gibson Les Paul was 9.6 million Yen or roughly 72, 000 dollars 😮
this could had been a great title song for a James Bond movie
Do they know James Bond from Sean Connery's days?
It's an intriguing question.
@@user-vg2mm8jv2j dont know but do you not think they been on national tv stations as in most of the world
this one reminds me of a Bond song
I get Bond vibes too, for the first section.

"live in tokyo" was held on march 26, 2021. originally scheduled for 2020, the date has been changed twice following the japanese government's declaration of a state of emergency over covid-19. in addition, based on the government's guidelines for preventing the spread of covid-19 infections, the number of spectators was set to less than half of the venue's capacity, and all the spectators could do was applaud. tickets were sold out, but not full. the topic of forming a super band in 2016 spilled out. after that, the band name was initially "metalslaves" and later "lovebites" derived from the representative song of hailstorm. a band name didn't seem like a good choice. and above all, it is impossible to sing in english. there may be some japanese people who can pronounce native english, but native pronunciation is basically impossible, and above all, japanese people cannot understand at all. it was speculated that "wolves in white dresses"might not have been a good choice either. the long-awaited 1st album ranked 29th on japanese general chart, and 2nd album19th. If it had been sung in japanese, it is presumed that it would have been about 10th higher. their 3rd album was 9 and 4th album was 5, but judging from their talent, it would have been higher. however, B-Rs and DVDs have sold well over the long term. if possible, it might be time for victor entertainment to consider releasing two versions, one in japanese and one in english.
One correction. Initial name of band was Iron Maiden influenced "Powerslaves" After Maiden's title track on their 5th album. Miho was heavily influenced by One Stephen Percy Harris. Maiden had influence on the rest of the member of Lovebites to a degree.
When Fami auditioned she had never done galloping triplets on bass they Steve Harris and Miho both do. She learned how to do it and there you go. She's our new bass player.
lovebites-speelbond- please
I believe Miyako is pregnant in this video.
Had a look at your playlist so I have a long list of what you haven't done. For starters LOVEBITES released a new live performance of The Hammer of Wrath featuring new bassist Fami. But how about this one from 2020 - Signs of Deliverance ruclips.net/video/ZFNrk19fKgg/видео.html .
And then there's Empty Daydream ruclips.net/video/lXh_uMM94jU/видео.html . More to follow if you want.
Let's see if you two are up for something new again. This is one of the best metal ballad performances I've ever heard. It is in German, though there are English sub titles. That said, it won't matter, the pure emotional delivery in this song transcends language.
The vocalist is Elli Berlin and she is a beast.

I love Lovebites but one thing that bothers me is the special treatment they get because they're women. If they were men no one would call them virtuosos. And for some reason everyone get this OCD need to state their age in the comment sections of their songs. What's up with that?
The fact that they are women is very important because metal bands are forced into the conventions that have become male metal bands.
