Everyone in LOVEBITES knows how to play the piano (keyboards). The piano is one of the basic instruments that many Japanese musicians start with. Miho (bass, backing vocals) started playing the piano at the age of 5. Later, already studying at school, she mastered the bass guitar. Midori (blonde, guitars ESP , backing vocals) started playing the piano at 2 years old. She started playing the guitar at the age of 20. Graduated from ESP / MI JAPAN in Osaka , GIT-DX department (superfast guitar department). ESP / MI JAPAN is an international Musicians Institute , headquartered in Hollywood, California, USA. Asami (lead vocals, piano) plays the piano, including in concerts. Starting from the age of 2, for 16 years, she also studied ballet. From what age she plays the piano, I, unfortunately, do not know yet. Haruna can also play the piano. She started playing drums when she was in school at the age of 13. Miyako (brunette, guitars Dean , piano, keyboards,backing vocals ) started playing the piano at the age of 3. She wanted to make a career as a classical pianist. At the age of 18, Miyako began to learn to play the guitar on her own, from a textbook. In Japan, ladies rarely indicate their age. I know for sure that Miyako is 32 years old (in 2022) . Asami, Miho, Midori are about 30-32 years old (I don't know for sure). The youngest of this is Haruna (drums). Now (in 2022) she is 27-28 years old. The concert video "Five of a Kind" was filmed in February 2020. Then they were about 3 years younger (in February 2020)
The drummer is Yosai Haruna, she was already a great drummer at age 13, she was the drummer in the legendary all female metal band Destrose together with ex-bassist from Lovebites Rosana Miho. Haruna started writing songs on a keyboard at age 14, together with Miho she is the founder of LOVEBITES. She joined Destrose in 2012 when she was still fresh from school. Haruna has a large fan base with one million subs on RUclips and over 10 million views.
The members of Lovebites are all in their early thirties, except for the new bass player Fami, she is 20. And yes, Miyako is a wunderkind, she plays piano from age 3 and learned herself to play guitar from age 18. Miyako also plays bass guitar, keytar, drums and violin and she also sings back up harmonies with Asami, she is a soprano!
well no asami is not a soprano. her back ground is R&B she used to sing in a church choir though. but no she didnt had any classical training. which Sopranos had.
@@metalvideos1961 Asami is a mezzo-soprano with a high range. Mezzo range tends to top out with an E5 or F5 note, and that is as high as Asami generally gets (highest note in Swan Song is an F5), however her go-to 'high' note is an A6, which is a Soprano range note (E5 is the note on the 12th fret of the 1st string of a guitar - A6 is the note at the 17th fret). O bud was referring to Miyako as a soprano though, and she IS a soprano, which is why she can sing 'high' harmonies over Asami's vocals. You don't need any training to be a 'soprano', it is just a description of a singing voice with the ability to hit notes of a certain pitch 'range' in the musical scale.
@@alekhidell Everything is simple. Ordinary mathematics. 😊The school year in Japanese schools usually starts in April. Ends in March. The full course of study in Japanese schools lasts 12 years. They usually leave school at the age of 17-18. When Haruna joined DESTROSE (January 2012) she was still in or finishing school. Therefore she was 17 or 18 years old (in January 2012). So in January 2022, Haruna should be 27-28 years old ( +10 years). Haruna's birthday is December 30th. Therefore, she is now 27 - 28 years old. Haruna will be 28 or 29 on December 30, 2022.Taking into account the fact that before DESTROSE Haruna had already played in another band, she was taken despite the fact that she was young. If I'm wrong in my calculations, please correct me.🤗

"Etude Op.10, No.12" ( or "Revolutionary Etude") by the great Polish composer Frederic Chopin, which was written in 1831 and is dedicated to the Polish patriots who raised an uprising (1830-1831) against the Russian Empire, whose troops occupied Poland. "Swan song" ( lyrics - Asami , music -Miyako) from the third album LOVEBITES "Electric Pentagram" (2020). For many centuries (starting from Ancient Greece) there is a legend, according to which swans, non-singing, "silent" birds, acquire a voice a few moments before death, and this dying singing of swans is amazingly beautiful. "Etude" by F. Chopin and "Swan Song" are dedicated to the warriors who died in battle. Therefore, at the concert, "Etude" and "Swan Song" are played together. In an interview given after the release of the "Electric Pentagram" album, Asami (a former ballerina, studied classical ballet for about 16 years before becoming a singer) said that when she wrote the lyrics of the song, she was thinking about the famous ballet P.I. Tchaikovsky "Swan Lake" . During the performance of the song, Asami imitates the Swan (hand movements). And in the final part (piano Miyako), symbolizing the death of the Swan, Asami depicts the dying Swan on stage. Because the camera at the end of the song is focused on Miyako playing the piano, Asami's "death of the Swan" was not captured on video.
Many bands write / play great songs, LOVEBITES is just on another level for me (just my opinion). This is one of those MASTERPIECES, 8mins of brilliance. They can play thrash metal that is Big 4 caliber, they can play power metal that's equally as good as Maiden / Helloween, they can do progressive metal as good as anyone, and they can even do hard rock ballads (Epilogue) like it's the 80s all over again. I have never seen a band like them and no other band has touched me the way Lovebites has, PERIOD. This song should be known by all hard rock / metal enthusiasts and there are no words that can describe their abilities. I have run out of ways to describe them, just know that I LOVE THEM!! Great react and you MUST follow this up with A Frozen Serenade live...to experience 2 MASTERPIECES in a row. Great react!! My one note about Haruna the drummer: She's 4' 9"...put that into perspective, considering the pace they play at for an entire show. Mind-boggling...
that's funny - i remember at 10 years old in the early 60's reading the peanuts comic strip and seeing schroeder playing beethoven on his little piano. i thought it was pronounced the way it looked - beeth -oven. my mom had to tell me it was bay - toven.
Asami(Vo) has been studying classical ballet since the age of 2. After graduating from high school, she moved to the U.S. to study jazz and hip-hop dance, where she was trained as a gifted musician. While studying in the U.S., she got hooked on singing when she sang the national anthem for a minor league baseball team, and after returning to Japan, she auditioned for various singing jobs. Originally, I was an R&B and soul singer. Originally, he had never listened to metal music at all, which he says was "music from another dimension. Asami can maintain a high e5 range. She also has a natural vibrato. Various vocal coaches have praised Asami's vocal characteristics. Asami (Vo) said in an interview that "The Crusade" is the most intense song on the album, so he, like Haruna (Dr), always gets into it before singing. RUclips Channel "Dino Mozardien" "Lovebites - The Crusade(Live in Tokyo 2021)" To get an idea of Asami's true singing ability in R&B and soul, see the Asami (Vo) & Miyako (Gt) acoustic version of LOVEBITES "Rising". RUclipsChannel "beautiful night" "LOVEBITES Asami&Miyako [Riging] Acoustic" The following content is a live video of another day of "Swan Song". On this stage, Asami dances a swan as a prelude, and when Miyako's piano starts the ending, Asami dances a "Dying Swan". In the video you have reacted to, Asami also dances the "Dying Swan" at the ending, but unfortunately there is no comment on Asami's "Dying Swan" dance in the reaction contents I have listened to so far. RUclips Channel "MusicMania" (musicmania8241) "Lovebites - Swan Song (Heavy Metal Never Dies - Tokyo Dome City Hall 2021) I like your reactions and I hope you will continue to work with LOVEBITES.
I agree, Haruna the drummer is super cute!! 😍Her playing is fantastic!! The whole band is so talented!! As far as i know she started very young with piano and started playing drums in high-school i believe. Thanks for another lovely reaction!! 🤘🐺🤘
As you can see, the black-haired Miyako is an excellent guitarist and pianist. In addition, we have to pay tribute to her for being an excellent composer. About half of LOVEBITES' repertoire is Miyako's work. Her talents for guitar, piano and composition work well together. Miyako was able to master the guitar on her own because she had a foundation as a pianist since her childhood. She must have a piano skill working with her excellent guitar tapping ability. Many of her songs incorporate elements of classical music. (I recommend her masterpiece "DYSTOPIA SYMPHONY") The piano that Miyako plays in the band is an "intro song" or an "insertion song", so the performance is inevitably flat (although it is still beautiful). For once, I would like to listen to her playing the piano in earnest. ---------- from Nippon *It is a sentence using Google translation. I hope I conveyed my intentions correctly.
Yes you're right, these super talented ladies play it as perfectly as they can. Haruna the drummer plays that fast for almost 2 hours in all their concerts. Imagine such energy she had. Their new album will come soon. React more to Lovebites and be amazed.👍👍🤘🤘
Of the five members, only Miyako (guitar/keyboard) has revealed her age, and about a month after this live (April 2020) was her 29th birthday. Other than Haruna (drums), I don't think they're that different in age. In addition, Asami (vocals) and Miyako experienced marriage and childbirth between last year and this year.
I saw a profile of Midori competing in Body Fitness in Kita-ku, Tokyo, and she was 34 years old, 150 cm and 43 kg. According to the information on the Internet, she was 30 years old, but according to the JBBF's profile of contestants, she was 34. The average height of Japanese women is said to be 158cm, so she is in the petite category. The organization Midori is in is JBBF, an anti-doping organization. The Kita-ku competition is for people who are competing for the first time, and although the level is low, he came in second place.
LOVEBITES - Swan Song lyrics: If this was the last day you could live on this earth Would you still go on, accusing someone for today It’s better to fail than not do anything at all It is not the length, but depth of life that counts Oh brave soldier Oh gallant warrior Valor to those who died in battle to Valhalla Believe what’s in your soul For death will come to all You shall rest peacefully in God’s Heaven Floating lotus You are so graceful Saintly and glorious Till the end of time Floating lotus You are so beautiful Sing me your sweet song The legend of the swan If you’ve never hoped, you’ve never been though despair Ignorance is bliss, it’s easier to not care You might think it’s meaningless to sacrifice a life Sometimes the life of one can save so many more Oh brave soldier Oh gallant warrior Valor to those who died in battle to Valhalla Believe what’s in your soul For death will come to all You shall rest peacefully in God’s Heaven Floating lotus You are so graceful Saintly and glorious Till the end of time Floating lotus You are so beautiful Sing me your sweet song The legend of the swan SOLO: miyako / both Floating lotus You are so graceful Saintly and glorious Till the end of time Floating lotus You are so beautiful Sing me your sweet song The legend of the swan SOLO: midori ----- lyrics: asami music: miyako arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) from Electric Pentagram 2020
Haruna(Dr) was inspired to learn to play the drums by a heavy metal concert she attended when she was 13 years old. 5+ minute fast two-bass and various effect cymbals are Haruna's specialty. Haruna wants people to think he is a man playing those drums. Haruna told the interviewer that "The Crusade" is the most intense song on the album, so he always gets into it before playing it to make sure he can keep the beat until the end. Haruna's favorite band is "Helloween". LOVEBITES covered "Eagle Fly Free" in a studio live performance during the period when they could not play live with an audience due to Covid19. RUclips channel "ManekiNeko1972" "LOVEBITES Eagle Fly Free Helloween cover Awake Again Live from Abyss 1080p" RUclips channel "Dino Mozardien" "Lovebites - The Crusade(Live in Tokyo 2021)"
You should add that the first Helloween album she purchased was Master of the Rings which was the first Helloween album on which Uli Kusch played drums. As a drummer, she immediately became a fan of Kusch and she says her playing style is based on his style.
@@fab1901 You are very welcome. I was able to find the article which this information came from. I read the article around a year ago so my memory wasn't perfect. For example she doesn't say she actually bought the album. Here is the quote - Halloween triggered me to get into metal music. The first album I listened to was “Master Of The Rings” and I was inspired by Ulrich Kusch’s drumming style. His style became my basic drumming style.
@@danw6048 Thank you for providing detailed information. The following is my guess. Haruna is a little older than Miyako (1990), so Haruna was 13 years old about 20 years ago. RUclips was founded on February 14, 2005. In 2002-2005, the Internet environment in Japan was slow, and PCs and connection fees were high, so listening to and downloading music was not yet a common practice. Considering these factors, Haruna would have purchased the CD "Master Of The Rings" (released in 1994). Helloween's label in Japan was "Victor Entertainment Corporation", the same as LOVEBITES.
@@fab1901 My belief is that Haruna is younger than Miyako. Haruna officially joined Destrose in January, 2012 but she was a support player prior to that. This means she was drumming for the band in 2011. My understanding is also the she started drumming for Destrose soon after graduating high school. If she graduated in the spring of 2011 at age 18, her date of birth would be December 30, 1992. This means she will be turning 30 at the end of the month. I put this in another comment but didn't want you to have to search for it. If she was older than Miyako, her date of birth would be 12/30/1989 and she would have been 21 when starting with Destrose, which I think is too old.
your microphone is crackling. maye you should look in to that. first time i see a reaction of you so not sure if it is normally the case. but just a head up. anyway nice reaction. its a great song
Only the birthdates of Miyako and Fami are easy to find, which are 4/5/1990 and 6/1/2002 respectively. The rest require some guesstimation. Regarding Haruna, my understanding is that she started working with the band Destrose as a support player in 2011 right after high school and later joined the band officially in January, 2012. It is known that her birthday is on 12/30. If she graduated at age 18 in the spring of 2011, her birthdate would be 12/30/1992. If I am correct with this, she will turning 30 at the end of the month.

@@369kevin4 Midori being 30 right now never made sense to me because it meant she was born in May 28, 1992. She joined her first band in early 2013 when she would have been 20. Of course, she didn't even pick up a guitar until she was 20 so that timeline was impossible. I guessed she was born in 1989, making her 33. I was only a year off.
Haruna - drums (2016-present) Midori - guitars, backing vocals (2016-present) (blonde ponytail) Miyako - guitars, keyboards, backing vocals, main composer (2016-present) (dark hair) Asami - lead vocals, piano; writes a lot of the lyrics (2016-present) Fami-bass (just joined the band in Sept. 2022, master of slap and shred bass) Former member: Miho - bass, backing vocals, founder and bandleader (2016-2021) wrote some of their thrashier songs, eg. Thunder Vengeance
Listen again. Firstly, Miyako obviously recorded the arpeggios, so the track adds weight. And secondly, there are no harmonies when Miyako plays piano. And unnoticed by most, as Miyako plays the ending on the keyboard, Asami the (30 plus) singer performs a perfect “Swan Lake” dying swan.
Totally agree my good friends - connections are all important and I for one am very grateful I found you - you have helped me immensely in the past! I suggested this song a while back and knew you'd love it 😀 I wanted to let you know how mind blowing Nightwish were at Wembley a week ago, Floor did herself proud as I knew she would! As always, God bless 🙏 and take good care of yourselves 😃
@@honorarythamesman5732 hey plz tell me how your sister in law is doing? And also the family you told me about awhile ago? Holidays are hard with grief.
@@SueSueandthewolfman I've only just returned from Colombia a couple of days ago as I spent Christmas there with my Wife and her Family, but I was fortunate enough to catch up with my Sister in Law last night - she appears to be coping ok , but you never know do you - we all know personally that things get easier with time, but that's not what you want to hear at the time, if you know what I'm trying to say! She has my Brother and her son and daughter in law who are a great comfort to her. As for the Daughter of our longstanding friend who sadly passedaway - I know she is suffering as it's the first Christmas without her Mum but told my Brother on Christmas Day that she was putting on a brave face for her husband and children. But that first Christmas with an empty seat around the table is a very powerful thing and evokes all kinds of emotions doesn't it!
Background for your viewers who are less familiar with Classical music: Chopin (pronounced Show-pan) was a Polish-born Romantic-era (1800’s) classical composer and piano virtuoso who lived most of his life in France. He is considered one of the greatest classical composers of all time. Miyako, who composes a lot of Lovebites’ music, is a professional-level concert pianist, and was originally going to make classical music her career. When she was 18, she picked up a guitar, and is now (quite obviously) an elite-level guitarist. She particularly likes the Romantic Era classical composers like Debussy, Dvořák, Chopin and Rachmaninoff. She composed “Swan Song” using elements of the New World Symphony (Dvořák) and Chopin’s Revolutionary Etude (official name Étude Opus 10, No. 12 in C minor). For this performance, she actually played the Etude as a prelude, but it’s not normally included in their shows.
The ladies can play😍. So cool with an all girl band in Rock🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻. I used to listen to ” The Runaways” in my youth with the amazing Joan Jett, had such a crush on her when I was 14-15 years old❤️. But I digress, sorry. Its not me its Joan Jetts fault for being so damn hot😢. I have never heard this band before and I loved it.

They lay those tracks ahead of time. Because they only have two hands. The only one who wasn't in her early thirty's was the drummer and she was 28 or 29 at the time.

"LOVEBITES Asami&Miyako [Riging] Acoustic"
The following content is a live video of another day of "Swan Song". On this stage, Asami dances a swan as a prelude, and when Miyako's piano starts the ending, Asami dances a "Dying Swan". In the video you have reacted to, Asami also dances the "Dying Swan" at the ending, but unfortunately there is no comment on Asami's "Dying Swan" dance in the reaction contents I have listened to so far.

I like your reactions and I hope you will continue to work with LOVEBITES.
I agree, Haruna the drummer is super cute!! 😍Her playing is fantastic!! The whole band is so talented!!
As far as i know she started very young with piano and started playing drums in high-school i believe. Thanks for another lovely reaction!! 🤘🐺🤘
Thanks 👍
As you can see, the black-haired Miyako is an excellent guitarist and pianist. In addition, we have to pay tribute to her for being an excellent composer.
About half of LOVEBITES' repertoire is Miyako's work. Her talents for guitar, piano and composition work well together. Miyako was able to master the guitar on her own because she had a foundation as a pianist since her childhood. She must have a piano skill working with her excellent guitar tapping ability.
Many of her songs incorporate elements of classical music. (I recommend her masterpiece "DYSTOPIA SYMPHONY")
The piano that Miyako plays in the band is an "intro song" or an "insertion song", so the performance is inevitably flat (although it is still beautiful). For once, I would like to listen to her playing the piano in earnest.

*It is a sentence using Google translation. I hope I conveyed my intentions correctly.
Yes you're right, these super talented ladies play it as perfectly as they can. Haruna the drummer plays that fast for almost 2 hours in all their concerts. Imagine such energy she had. Their new album will come soon. React more to Lovebites and be amazed.👍👍🤘🤘
The next level: LOVEBITES band with orchestra... 🌹🎶👑🎶🌹
Drummer, Haruna is a 4ft 9in powerhouse and as talented and cute as hell. 🤘🤘🤘🐺
Of the five members, only Miyako (guitar/keyboard) has revealed her age, and about a month after this live (April 2020) was her 29th birthday. Other than Haruna (drums), I don't think they're that different in age. In addition, Asami (vocals) and Miyako experienced marriage and childbirth between last year and this year.
I saw a profile of Midori competing in Body Fitness in Kita-ku, Tokyo, and she was 34 years old, 150 cm and 43 kg. According to the information on the Internet, she was 30 years old, but according to the JBBF's profile of contestants, she was 34. The average height of Japanese women is said to be 158cm, so she is in the petite category.
The organization Midori is in is JBBF, an anti-doping organization. The Kita-ku competition is for people who are competing for the first time, and although the level is low, he came in second place.
good review as usual, btw Frozen Serenade is a song that must be heard at least once in a lifetime
LOVEBITES - Swan Song lyrics:
If this was the last day you could live on this earth
Would you still go on, accusing someone for today
It’s better to fail than not do anything at all
It is not the length, but depth of life that counts
Oh brave soldier
Oh gallant warrior
Valor to those who died in battle to Valhalla
Believe what’s in your soul
For death will come to all
You shall rest peacefully in God’s Heaven
Floating lotus
You are so graceful
Saintly and glorious
Till the end of time
Floating lotus
You are so beautiful
Sing me your sweet song
The legend of the swan
If you’ve never hoped, you’ve never been though despair
Ignorance is bliss, it’s easier to not care
You might think it’s meaningless to sacrifice a life
Sometimes the life of one can save so many more
Oh brave soldier
Oh gallant warrior
Valor to those who died in battle to Valhalla
Believe what’s in your soul
For death will come to all
You shall rest peacefully in God’s Heaven
Floating lotus
You are so graceful
Saintly and glorious
Till the end of time
Floating lotus
You are so beautiful
Sing me your sweet song
The legend of the swan
SOLO: miyako / both
Floating lotus
You are so graceful
Saintly and glorious
Till the end of time
Floating lotus
You are so beautiful
Sing me your sweet song
The legend of the swan

Here for my daily Lovebites fix 🐺
Miyako Magic! Guitar hero/piano hero!
LOVEBITES 🐺 INCREDIBLE
Haruna(Dr) was inspired to learn to play the drums by a heavy metal concert she attended when she was 13 years old. 5+ minute fast two-bass and various effect cymbals are Haruna's specialty. Haruna wants people to think he is a man playing those drums. Haruna told the interviewer that "The Crusade" is the most intense song on the album, so he always gets into it before playing it to make sure he can keep the beat until the end.
Haruna's favorite band is "Helloween".
LOVEBITES covered "Eagle Fly Free" in a studio live performance during the period when they could not play live with an audience due to Covid19.

You should add that the first Helloween album she purchased was Master of the Rings which was the first Helloween album on which Uli Kusch played drums. As a drummer, she immediately became a fan of Kusch and she says her playing style is based on his style.

Thank you for sharing this valuable information that I did not know.
@@fab1901 You are very welcome. I was able to find the article which this information came from. I read the article around a year ago so my memory wasn't perfect. For example she doesn't say she actually bought the album. Here is the quote -
Halloween triggered me to get into metal music. The first album I listened to was “Master Of The Rings” and I was inspired by Ulrich Kusch’s drumming style. His style became my basic drumming style.
@@danw6048
Thank you for providing detailed information.
The following is my guess.
Haruna is a little older than Miyako (1990), so Haruna was 13 years old about 20 years ago.
RUclips was founded on February 14, 2005.
In 2002-2005, the Internet environment in Japan was slow, and PCs and connection fees were high, so listening to and downloading music was not yet a common practice.
Considering these factors, Haruna would have purchased the CD "Master Of The Rings" (released in 1994). Helloween's label in Japan was "Victor Entertainment Corporation", the same as LOVEBITES.
@@fab1901 My belief is that Haruna is younger than Miyako. Haruna officially joined Destrose in January, 2012 but she was a support player prior to that. This means she was drumming for the band in 2011. My understanding is also the she started drumming for Destrose soon after graduating high school. If she graduated in the spring of 2011 at age 18, her date of birth would be December 30, 1992. This means she will be turning 30 at the end of the month. I put this in another comment but didn't want you to have to search for it. If she was older than Miyako, her date of birth would be 12/30/1989 and she would have been 21 when starting with Destrose, which I think is too old.
🤘🐺💖👸🤘🎼🎹 *Miyako* 🎸🔥
your microphone is crackling. maye you should look in to that. first time i see a reaction of you so not sure if it is normally the case. but just a head up. anyway nice reaction. its a great song
Only the birthdates of Miyako and Fami are easy to find, which are 4/5/1990 and 6/1/2002 respectively. The rest require some guesstimation. Regarding Haruna, my understanding is that she started working with the band Destrose as a support player in 2011 right after high school and later joined the band officially in January, 2012. It is known that her birthday is on 12/30. If she graduated at age 18 in the spring of 2011, her birthdate would be 12/30/1992. If I am correct with this, she will turning 30 at the end of the month.
I saw a profile of Midori competing in Body Fitness in Kita-ku, Tokyo, and she was 34 years old, 150 cm and 43 kg. According to the information on the Internet, she was 30 years old, but according to the JBBF's profile of contestants, she was 34. The average height of Japanese women is said to be 158cm, so she is in the petite category.
The organization Midori is in is JBBF, an anti-doping organization. The Kita-ku competition is for people who are competing for the first time, and although the level is low, he came in second place.
@@369kevin4 Midori being 30 right now never made sense to me because it meant she was born in May 28, 1992. She joined her first band in early 2013 when she would have been 20. Of course, she didn't even pick up a guitar until she was 20 so that timeline was impossible. I guessed she was born in 1989, making her 33. I was only a year off.
Haruna - drums (2016-present)
Midori - guitars, backing vocals (2016-present) (blonde ponytail)
Miyako - guitars, keyboards, backing vocals, main composer (2016-present) (dark hair)
Asami - lead vocals, piano; writes a lot of the lyrics (2016-present)
Fami-bass (just joined the band in Sept. 2022, master of slap and shred bass)
Former member: Miho - bass, backing vocals, founder and bandleader (2016-2021) wrote some of their thrashier songs, eg. Thunder Vengeance
Listen again. Firstly, Miyako obviously recorded the arpeggios, so the track adds weight. And secondly, there are no harmonies when Miyako plays piano. And unnoticed by most, as Miyako plays the ending on the keyboard, Asami the (30 plus) singer performs a perfect “Swan Lake” dying swan.
Totally agree my good friends - connections are all important and I for one am very grateful I found you - you have helped me immensely in the past! I suggested this song a while back and knew you'd love it 😀 I wanted to let you know how mind blowing Nightwish were at Wembley a week ago, Floor did herself proud as I knew she would! As always, God bless 🙏 and take good care of yourselves 😃
Wish I had been there !
@@SueSueandthewolfman happy New Year friends. I wish you much joy , peace and hope for the coming year. God bless 🙏
@@honorarythamesman5732 hey plz tell me how your sister in law is doing? And also the family you told me about awhile ago? Holidays are hard with grief.
@@SueSueandthewolfman I've only just returned from Colombia a couple of days ago as I spent Christmas there with my Wife and her Family, but I was fortunate enough to catch up with my Sister in Law last night - she appears to be coping ok , but you never know do you - we all know personally that things get easier with time, but that's not what you want to hear at the time, if you know what I'm trying to say! She has my Brother and her son and daughter in law who are a great comfort to her. As for the Daughter of our longstanding friend who sadly passedaway - I know she is suffering as it's the first Christmas without her Mum but told my Brother on Christmas Day that she was putting on a brave face for her husband and children. But that first Christmas with an empty seat around the table is a very powerful thing and evokes all kinds of emotions doesn't it!
Background for your viewers who are less familiar with Classical music: Chopin (pronounced Show-pan) was a Polish-born Romantic-era (1800’s) classical composer and piano virtuoso who lived most of his life in France. He is considered one of the greatest classical composers of all time. Miyako, who composes a lot of Lovebites’ music, is a professional-level concert pianist, and was originally going to make classical music her career. When she was 18, she picked up a guitar, and is now (quite obviously) an elite-level guitarist. She particularly likes the Romantic Era classical composers like Debussy, Dvořák, Chopin and Rachmaninoff. She composed “Swan Song” using elements of the New World Symphony (Dvořák) and Chopin’s Revolutionary Etude (official name Étude Opus 10, No. 12 in C minor). For this performance, she actually played the Etude as a prelude, but it’s not normally included in their shows.
LOVEBITES🔥🤘🐺🤘🔥
The ladies can play😍. So cool with an all girl band in Rock🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻. I used to listen to ” The Runaways” in my youth with the amazing Joan Jett, had such a crush on her when I was 14-15 years old❤️. But I digress, sorry. Its not me its Joan Jetts fault for being so damn hot😢. I have never heard this band before and I loved it. Thanks for your reaction, I will check out this band again because of you guys😊.

Sing SueSue, sing! There seems to be a little static or crackling in the audio on some recent videos. It’s very minor and I think it’s just in your mic, I don’t hear it in the music.
They lay those tracks ahead of time. Because they only have two hands. The only one who wasn't in her early thirty's was the drummer and she was 28 or 29 at the time.
