On this show we revisit Lovebites . This is the live version of Swan Song . Sit back and enjoy our reaction to this version . Thanks for watching . As always stay safe stay strong .
Miyako is a real classically trained concert pianist since age of 3. Her primary instrument is piano. Guitar is her 2nd instrument. Also, this song is not a happy song. Context is important. You missed Miyako playing Chopin's "Revolutionary Etude" Etude Op 10 No. 12 right before this song which bookends the song with the outro piano piece composed by Miyako. The song sings about gallant soldiers, brave warriors, lotus flower (symbolizing pureness), battle in Valhalla and death - death of swan. Chopin's Etude came out at the time of the failed uprising in 1831 Warsaw Poland against the occupying Russia. Poland is Chopin's beloved homeland. He would never sat foot in his motherland again. So, this song composed by Miyako who loves Chopin, when you take the whole context is not a happy song. In fact, it's an ode calling for the fallen fighters.
I don't know why so many people talk about how static they look on stage, I don't see what's wrong with that. They don't pretend to be something they are not. After all, I want to see them playing live, not jumping all over the place lol. Choose without fear any song from "Five of a kind Tokyo 2020" you will not be disappointed. Thanks for another lovebites song \m/ And Remember The Ramones, they were always in the same place on stage without moving for more than 1 hour in every live show they had... they did it for 22 years
Bear in mind that the guitarists daren''t move about too much during a particularly technical piece like this. Not only does the playing require extreme concentration but they are wedded to their banks of pedals. If you watch cardefully you'll see that they are continuously putting a foot to a pedal throughout the song.
@@michaelafrancis1361 Yes I know, not many pay attention to that. They know what they're doing, and that's what matters, that's why they sound so good live
That was a very technical song, if you watch the whole concert that was about the calmest they act. Trust me, they are all over the place on most of the rest of the songs. check out Holy War and Thunder Vengeance and you'll see. It's from their new DVD /Album called Five Of A Kind. which is their 2nd Live album, the other was 2019.
Great reaction I have the dvd of this concert and they definatley are more involved in other songs the concert was held in February 2020 the dvd is called 5 of a kind live at Zep diver city Tokyo. Some other titles from that show are the opening song with the intro called Thunder Vengance. Holy War , Raise some Hell , Dancing with the Devil , Signs of Deliverence has some insane guitar work in it also We the United, .there is not one bad song , another Dvd they have is called Daughters of the Dawn also with great live music from this band.
It has remained up in my country which normally is one of the first, for videos to be blocked. You have to remember the complexity of this song and synchronising the backing is as good as a BabyMetal live show for all the technicians and for the ladies to keep in sync. So it is little wonder in this case, they are not overly animated. I get overwhelmed by Lovebites. How can five ladies play so well and make a wall of sound? Add to which, writing songs in English, not their native tongue and Asami, singing in English plus the way the songs are structured, just outclass any similar well established power metal band or heavy metal band.
Miyako IS the Japanese Eddie Van Halen - she can play guitar and keyboard simultaneously. 🤘 You want to see them go at it? The Crusade Thunder Vengeance Hammer Of Wrath Break The Walls I guarantee you would not be bored if you saw them live. They even played the music to the video game Farming Simulator with DragonForce when they were on tour together here in 🇬🇧 last Winter.
The name of the show is called 5 of a kind live in Tokyo 2020 at zepp diver city also on DVD and bluray as well as CD and ther is songs that are at the show where they are mor energetic but with these women I find they don’t need to run around on stage and show off like other bands because they know they are the real deal and it shows
Yeah, I don't quite understand the whole "why aren't they running around" thing either... you'd never see Dream Theater being particularly athletic during a show, but then I guess a lot of people don't like watching them. Anyway, as others have said, they do use the stage more in other songs, so do check out more from this show. They're all awesome.
Greetings from Japan. Thanks a lot for reacting Swansong! Good reactions, too! This show was held 7 days after Band maid February show. I hope you guys do not compare between Band maid and Lovebites. I love and admire both band which are one for hard rock and one for metal. I listen them almost everyday according to my mood. lol
Absolutely agree both Masters in their field and I listen to both Daily whatever my mood, usually peed off at work they calm me down like a soothing balm for the mind.
Five of a kind is the name of their concert they had in Tokyo this year. You gotta check out the entire concert. The best mv is with Miyako on the piano intro and outro. Come on guys the babes are in high heels I’d like to see anyone run around like idiots in high heels. Go back to as far as many classic bands who also just stood there blowing peoples Brian’s out there is no difference
The next songs I recommend are: “Dancing with the devil” (classic rock and Asami vocals sound more bluesy), “Break the wall” (thrashy), Epilogue” (slower tempo with old school solos and excellent Asami’s vocals), “Empty daydream” (catchy beat and Asami’s vocals) and “Edge of the world”. All of them live from concerts “Battle of the east”, “Wacken”, “Daughters of the dawn”, “Tokyo 2020”; avoid “Bloodstuck” (bad audio)
Nah, they move pretty well in a concert, I even see a clear increase compared to the older shows (which were also good), you have to watch a complete show, how much energy goes into it, they give a lot, it is sometimes very technical and they just want to play extremely precisely, the bouncing around has to be very well organized, for a band that is just getting really big, I think that's really great 😃
For more “lively” performance from them.. def chk out from the same concert as said mentioned b4.. holy war, opening act thunder vengeance, my fav Signs of deliverance & hammer of wrath(trashiest you’ll ever witness from a Metal band), raise some hell, Bravehearted, break the wall, we the united & scream for me.
Hops Metal Show awesome! Def highly recommend Hammer of Wrath at the same event. Imo, thee most trashiest song you’ll hear :) & Sign of deliverance as the best duel guitar you’ll see and the talent shine as well 🤟
there are so many good tracks to choose from Signs Of Deliverance, Edge Of The World, We The United, Under a Red Sky ..etc the list is endless as they say. they are also capable of doing quieter tracks as well like Epilogue but that song is on The Daughters Of The Dawn DVD from Tokyo January 2019. they have released three pro-shot DVDs all from Tokyo shows at the beginning of the Year. Battle in The East (2018) Daughters Of The Dawn (2019) and Five Of A Kind (2020) Five Of A Kind was filmed in February 2020 about a Week after Band Maid recorded Their latest Concert DVD. I imagine the plan was for both bands to start Japanese Tours in March and then head for Europe and The US by the Summer. Unfortunately, as we all know now Covid-19 totally put an end to that. I hope you can find more material before CZcams takes it down. there is a lot of videos posted by other reaction channels.
2 Things: First... running around at stage is not as easy as you think, when they wear HIGH HEELS... Also... if you want to see more crowd getting involved and emotion, I recommend We the United from the same show: czcams.com/video/i9OEaVapKcE/video.html
Miyako started classical piano training when she was 3 years old, so she's definitely mastered that instrument. This performance is from their Five of a Kind dvd/blu-ray filmed in Zepp DiverCity indeed. Holy War next!
I was wondering if the video was up, 'cause there wasn't a thumbnail.. But I agree. I think Lovebites is awesome, maybe I'm spoiled by Band-Maid. They seem much more animated on stage. Still love the song, rather see someone running around during the show rather than just standing there. There's a new DVD called Five of a Kind.
Nice guys but this is not the full version of the video. The song start with Miyako piano intro. Also if you need to see how they move on the stage check the songs Rise some hel,l Signs of deliverance ,ofcourse if you find the videos, they are from the same concert Five of kind in Zepp Diversity Tokyo. And how i said in the beginning try to find the full version of this video with Miyako's intro then you gonna understand better the song, without that intro the song is different. Also if you find check the open show song Thunder vengeance and also Holly war. Stay safe and stay metal
Definitely liking Lovebites and Band-Maid, Also you should check out the group Nemophila with their new song RAITEI. czcams.com/video/lh-dVLKP314/video.html Another 5 great Musician band, who all have been or are still in other bands but they came together and it seems organic and real. They did a Live Online recently and was good. Even did PINK and Babymetal Covers during the show. Both guitar players use 7 string guitars. Have vids out doing a cover of Iron Maiden's Trooper and have another song called Oiran (another Geisha song but Skilled ones.) Members are: Vocals: Mayu (former lead singer of LIPSTICK) Guitar: SAKI (from Mary's Blood and the one who I think put this all together, very popular in Japan.) Guitar: HAZUKI (from Disqualia before it disbanded, also with LISA X) Bass: HARAGUCHI (Happy Cute Bassist formerly of the Holderns) Drums: Tamu Murata (Awesome Drummer, CZcams channel, does many colabs, oh and just had a baby earlier in the year) They just been together over a year but with the Corona Apocalypse and Tamu having her baby slowed their launch a bit. But going strong now.
Their only link to Lovebites might be being Japanese and female, but one band I'd suggest taking a look at are The Let's Go's. They are a punky trio from Tokyo, who play fun and energetic old style classic punk, with hints of The Ramones, yet still sound fresh. Try "Feel Like It" which is actually an updated version of one of their old songs czcams.com/video/Za98RjpKnK8/video.html. They aren't that well known, yet, but with their new line-up, they seem to really be kicking on. Enjoy!
There is Lovebites and there is Band-maid and then there is also Fate Gear, one more Japanese all female metal band, have you ever reacted to them? If not try "Headless Goddess" it´s fully on the same level !
I am trying to understand why everyone bypasses the Intro to this song. Miyako plays Chopin on the grand piano, it's the opening piece to the part the song finishes with. What a waste.
Did you say "boring to watch" ? Are you dead? How the hell is that "boring to watch"? They aren't a circus show, this isn't suppose to "entertain" you and they bloody well won't jump through a hoop for sure. That's lightning speed metal. Thrashing, shredding and topped with a wonderful melody. Maybe you should check your pulse!
Here’s a more classic metal oldschool style song from that flawless 2020 5oaK live dvd. Singer clearly getting her Mariah Carey on & loving it, song like Whitesnake meets Judas Priest with a smidge of zakk wylde, and showing off two fully custom guitars (tele built by her tech, but I want the burgundy & gold one ofa kind that ESP built to her specs). I’m pretty sure she’s the devil in the song, “do you really think you’re free, running around with your collar on?!” Dancing with the Devil czcams.com/video/2T-Yx-tKscE/video.html
No they'll more influence by DragonForce and other European power metal bands but mostly DragonForce recommend you watch this video of DragonForce fury of the storm. You can't really compare 80's bands to today's bands metal has evolved a lot there are a lot of sub genres of metal.
Miyako is a real classically trained concert pianist since age of 3. Her primary instrument is piano. Guitar is her 2nd instrument. Also, this song is not a happy song. Context is important.

Exactly. You want to see people running and jumping, go and watch the Olympics.

That's one particular song that they need concentrate to, but if you watch the whole concert. they are everywhere on the stage
The next songs I recommend are: “Dancing with the devil” (classic rock and Asami vocals sound more bluesy), “Break the wall” (thrashy), Epilogue” (slower tempo with old school solos and excellent Asami’s vocals), “Empty daydream” (catchy beat and Asami’s vocals) and “Edge of the world”.

you guys should have reacted to the video with Miyako playing the Piano prior to this part of the song.
This piece contains elements of Chopin's scale.
You should have listened through from Chopin Revolutionary Etude(Miyako plays piano solo).
For more “lively” performance from them.. def chk out from the same concert as said mentioned b4.. holy war, opening act thunder vengeance, my fav Signs of deliverance & hammer of wrath(trashiest you’ll ever witness from a Metal band), raise some hell, Bravehearted, break the wall, we the united & scream for me.
Holy War is on request list we will be doing that one eventually
Hops Metal Show awesome! Def highly recommend Hammer of Wrath at the same event. Imo, thee most trashiest song you’ll hear :) & Sign of deliverance as the best duel guitar you’ll see and the talent shine as well 🤟
there are so many good tracks to choose from Signs Of Deliverance, Edge Of The World, We The United, Under a Red Sky ..etc the list is endless as they say. they are also capable of doing quieter tracks as well like Epilogue but that song is on The Daughters Of The Dawn DVD from Tokyo January 2019. they have released three pro-shot DVDs all from Tokyo shows at the beginning of the Year.

You guys missed the miyako piano intro😂
Bro let's see you play like that in a long dress and high heels while running around, I really want to see that 😂😂😂
Right on! And carrying 10 pound guitar on your shoulder for a couple of hours! to think of the size of their bodies.
Five of a kind is the tour/concert.
This one song is way better than Led Zeppelin's
Miyako started classical piano training when she was 3 years old, so she's definitely mastered that instrument. This performance is from their Five of a Kind dvd/blu-ray filmed in Zepp DiverCity indeed. Holy War next!
its been added to the list

Do "dancing with the devil" or "raise some hell" if you want to see them move around

They shred harder than many all-male bands.
what do you expect them to do. it’s sort of a mellow song. it’s not a song that you would go crazy on stage.
Never heard of them saying Van Helen, not once.
It's about Maiden, Helloween, Yngwie, Anthrax, Angra, Finn Metal and Master of Puppets.
Also for Miyako, Gary Moore is a big influence on her as a guitar player.
what do you expect. it was a mellow song . you want them to run around …lol .

They hired the producer that have worked with bands like Blind Guardian , Nightwish they wanted to sound more like European metal
he likes clowns
Great song, but what a lame reaction. I'd rather just watch the vid and headbang myself.
Japanese language just does not sound good. So im not a fan at all. :-/
Then why bother watch and comment? And it doesn't matter at all whether you are a fan or not.
Nah, Japanese sounds really nice. Also they aren't even singing in Japanese, so what's your point?
