Reacting to the hottest Rock from the Far East and around the World - Welcome to Rock Candy! I am an average guitarist and vocalist. I've played in various bands, genres and venues most of my life from solo to ensemble, Country to Metal and live and studio. I have loved music of all kinds since before the Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show. But I was getting in a rut listening to classic rock and rarely picking up my guitar. Then I saw Babymetal. They re-fired my joy and excitement in music and opened a whole new world of rock that has made me feel like a teenager again in my old age. Join me as we explore this great world of music together - whether it's Rock, Metal or Pop, good music is good music. Rock on!

If Disney has a female rock character someday, Dany would be that voice!!! ⚡️THE WARNING⚡️
As you pointed out, It takes bravery for a singer to expose herself in this way. In my opinion, these performances have paved the way for her performances in HYCAD and AS.
🤘🐺🤘
Thank you for reacting and supporting Lovebites, Rock. These ladies are world class musicians and they deserve recognition.
It’s always great to hear your analysis, it brings added dimension to the song.
Dang! That double kick never stops!! Haruna must have thighs of titanium!
Haruna is Lovebites' secret weapon. She would immediately elevate any group she joined, and she happens to be in a band with four other world-class musicians.
A new EP and also a Blu-ray will be released on August 28. „LOVEBITES EP II“ will also contain a re-recording of the debut „LOVEBITES EP“ in a limited edition „Memorial of the Warrior Souls“ is the recording of last years paid livestream which features 7 live versions from „Judgement Day“ album including „Soldier stands solitarily“
I think the upcoming bluray is from this concert.
@@kent-oveprestberg3578 You’re right. Then we can listen to it in better sound quality. Looking forward to this song, Lost in the garden and SSS 🔥
I attended Hellfest in Clisson near Paris in France and saw them live on June 28th. The audience was won over and gave them a standing ovation with each song. At 72 years old I attended, with these young women, the concert of my life and it will remain engraved in me until the end. What happiness because even Metallica and Foo Fighters did not give me the same pleasure the following days with all due respect.
Always appreciate and learn something from your breakdowns, RC, thanks! Stay healthy, and enjoy that concert in Dallas!!🤘
asami! haruna! m&m! fami! all on top of their game. what a performance! what a great band! thanks for your fine reaction and analysis.
Excellent breakdown of this song! Haruna is the heart of this band and every bit as talented as the others. 🤘🥁🐺
Once in a generation band. You are very fortunate to get to see them live. We are too far away in Michigan.
Saw them at Resurrection Fest, first time I've seen them outside Japan-Fami especially has been impressive this tour. As for Haruna, she can move her hands and feet faster than the speed of light, but she prefers not to, out of respect for Albert Einstein and his theory of relativity. Actually, she regularly approaches the speed of light when she plays, which means that time slows down for her, which is why she's so small.
It doesn’t matter if she’s singing along with Saiki, behind Saiki, or by herself, Miku’s voice in All of their music is like icing on a cake!
R.C. , we want you to pick apart the song as much as possible because that’s why we love your reactions to Band-Maid!
I saw them a few days ago in London, and I can tell you to be prepared for a shock at just how good they really are, everything you see on screen is enhanced 💯 in reality, I didn't think I could like and appreciate them any more than I did but I was wrong. Enjoy your experience because I certainly did 🤘🥁🎸🎹🎤🐺
❤❤❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🐺 ok this time....Haruna !!!❤
Thank you for fulfilling the intent of creating these mixes! Very observant, informative & enjoyable. Great music too!! Haruna? a drummer myself... never more impressed, having seen Ginger Baker, John Bonham, Carmine Appice, Clive Bunker, Danny Seraphine, Greg Elmore, Ron Bushy, Bill Kreutzmann, Mickey Hart, Mitch Mitchell, Spencer Dryden, Ian Paice, Ed Cassidy, "Fito" de la Parra, Neal Smith, Paul Whaley, all LIVE, all before 1970. Your observations and explanations... her support to the melodies with cymbals & drums yet somehow inconspicuously, fascinating & precise. imaginative dbl-kick fills/space. Do more? 5 new songs coming end of August (!) Harupi!! 360°DRUMMING!! setlist LOVEBITES Haruna (2 drum-cam, 15 LIVE songs) czcams.com/play/PLDrelmq7IszKuEUqRuDCXMtVuvQC0u-Ye.html (all 'copyright claimed'/"owner allows the content to be used on CZcams" if curious) Nothing monetized.

Thank you for the link!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I know what you are talking about fan cams and a live show, but try some. Lovebites is stell doing great show even in a fan cam.
I do look through them from time to time but rarely do I find anything I would put on the platform - and even then there is usually an official version somewhere to be found. But I'll keep browsing! Thanks!
Great review. What I feel from this is precision. Haruna and the whole band is so precise yet powerful as a hurricane.
Great review and analysis as usual ! Lovebites have recently announced they'll release a new EP with 5 new tracks called "Lovebites EP II". There'll probably be at least 1 new MV that'll come with that. They will also release a new LIVE LP (from the same concert in Tokyo as this "Dissonance" video) called "Memorial for the Warrior Souls". Both the new EP and LIVE LP will be released next month on August 28. Enjoy the show at Dallas !
One thing that has puzzled me is that if you listen to several reactors do the same song, the sound will sometimes vary (within limits), the same song posted by one reactor will have a more prominent bass, another will have clearer guitar sound, vocals, whatever .... does this have to do with the particular sound card or sound profile in the computer of the reactor? Doesn't happen on every track, but sometimes an instrument (for instance) will just leap out differently. Oh -- and another thing about Haruna's playing -- she'll often change up her patterns behind each of the guitar solos, feeling the style change when Midori stops & Miyako starts, and vice versa. Very cool.
I am not sure what happens there. I suppose it could be several factors such as recording software, rendering process or reactor doing some personal mixing in addition to the original Video audio. In the case of this video the drums were enhanced on purpose but not by me.
@@RockCandy-ix3nn Yep, I got that about the drums -- I think that must have been what reminded me to bring up my old perplexity. I actually like it, almost like an accidental remix.
They are crazy good musicians and artist. Dedication and love/happy with what they are doing were top notch.
Just before they went on tour Miyako released a 3 part series on how she makes a demo, pretty cool stuff! There is a video with decent sound! of their song Soldier Stands Solitarily, one of their hardest songs and they nailed it - czcams.com/video/rys1Frh92AI/video.htmlsi=7TESbk-4kS5ZiUcb 🤘🔥 This was at HellFest in France and it was the biggest stage/crowd they have played so far, thanks RC!
THRASH METAL🔥🐺🤘
Reaxctor is an amateur trying to seem knowledgable
She has better drumming songs than this one I would have done it with Swan Song instead
Physically speaking Haruna def gets it the worst! But she is very good with her health, she is always taking supplements etc. I believe she does some light gym work. Also not that it matter but she did loose a bit of weight this year. I just saw them Live twice in the space of 2 weeks and in both shows she was killing it non stop. The whole band was on fire and having a ton of fun with us, the crowd. It was awesome!! Thanks RC! 🤘😊

Haruna is a monster little big engine wow
I can't wait to see these very talented and beautiful young ladies in September 🤘
likewise
you should definitely check out Tina S doing a guitar cover of this same song. Both Tina S and Junna are easily among the top guitarists and drummers, respectfully, of our generation.
Great band. Love Maria's voice.
Your always gonna get like when you do a bad-ass Band-Maid song.
This is the "Pigeon Hole"! Here's a guide to everything BAND-MAID: www.youtube.com/@Ohrenje, Enjoy!
I still can't believe they are a three piece. Solid.
Thanks for the reaction and comments. As always, your comments are spot on. These ladies never fail to impress. Influencer is another compositional masterpiece. All 5 ladies shine from start to finish. Cheers!
Influencer video location on Google Earth. 石切山脈 36°22'34.55" N 140°12'13.17"E
Hi nice Influencer reaction ole boy, the Maids played this at every concert I have seen them in live -see you in Dallas for Lovebites, and it's been moved to the Echo off I-35 North Simmons Freeway
Yes, Thanks, I do mention the move in the up coming Lovebites video. Sure happened quick too. I had no more than bought the tickets and then got the Email!
A good song to react live is let the flames begin and part ii live or from their latest tour, the song crave is really emotional and live the band and the emotion is just so good.
Also they have 6 albums. That 7 album is a re recorded album which was this is why their latest album and have reimagined and remixed version of the album plus an original song that was written in 2016 for their album after laughter. They have 2 eps released in 2006 and 2011 and two live albums one from 2008 and the other from 2014 which those live songs were added in the deluxe edition of their album selftitled wasn't a full live album. I just wanted to correct information because the data wasnt 100 correct.
Paramore members are hayley, zac and taylor. Parafour is their band and are Joe mullen, Joey Howard, Brian Robert Jones and Logan MacKenzie. Taylor has been a member since before hayley. Zac and Taylor met at 11 and then at 12 they met hayley and started writing music and formed paramore in 2003. When they signed to the label and started writing their first album, taylor couldn't join them to finish school but he has been there since always and has written songs with them since they wrote their first song. He joined the band officially in 2009 after touring with them since 2007, but taylor is an og member like hayley and zac and founding member of paramore. So that's a fact and a piece of information that is wrong online and you mentioned.
Ale at 2:20 seriously getting into it😂
The Warning always swings for the fence and always hits way over it. Their entire team is super creative, music, instrumental, lyrics, vocals & background harmonies, and videos. Yes, I think this is them burying the negative thoughts and words from their haters and people who told them they were wasting their time and couldn't make it as a band. They are in a place now where they can bury all of those doubts put in their heads by the naysayers. This feels like a middle finger to all the people who tried to drag them down. This whole album is fire, there are some songs I like better than others, but all of them are good. A strong contender for Rock Album of the Year.
After five and a half years, I still love them more every day. God that's drippy but I'm allowed to gush once in a while. Oh, and Kanami and Miku are the best songwriters since Paul McCartney and John Lennon.
This is one of those magical songs
I recently saw Junna on her Instagram and had to check the screen name to figure out who it was because she had her hair down. She looked so different! In addition to playing for the band that would become Trident and now playing with Hagane, Junna was the drummer for Marty Friedman during one of his solo tours. He knows how to pick damn good musicians.
This one hits like a roller coaster. Disorienting rhythms, disorienting images, relentless pace, snarky lyrics with ever-shifting vocal lines, edge of reason guitar tones. Pulls G's at every turn. I lost my hat the first few times I heard it.
