When I was fumbling around thinking about influences, the one that was escaping me was early Symphony X specifically Evolution (the grand design) from The new Mythology Suite. Something in Holy Way just reminds me of this era of Symphony X. Maybe it's the riffs. Not sure.
Yeah, you really know your music. You touched on a lot of great points. And you are correct. When you learn about these girls influences.... it will all make sense to you. When you learn about their backgrounds, it will make even more sense to you. I was completely shocked when I first found them. Ironically, it was for THIS exact song, but from the 2020 concert at Zepp DiverCity. I immediately heard early Helloween influences. My whole life is power-metal. Lovebites is perfection for me. They have it all, and they can do it all. Over the years, I heard it all... so when a supergroup like Lovebites comes along, it's GAME OVER!
Don't care about comparing this band or any other band to other bands or influences...alot of reaction videos seem to like to do this....Don't care. And everybody knows Baby Metal is manufactured
@@lard1892 SORRY BUT I DISAGREE WITH USING THE WORD MANUFACTURED. ALSO SORRY ABOUT ALL CAPS, I AM HANDICAPPED HA HA. I DON'T CLAIM TO KNOW BUT I HAVE FAITH THAT THE FOX GOD CHOSE SU-METAL, MOA-METAL AND YUI-METAL. THE KAMI BAND ALSO IS CHOSEN BY THE FOX GOD. I DO AGREE WITHN YOU THAT THERE IS TOO MUCH TALK OF INFLUENCES. I REALLY DON'T LIKE REACTORS THAT ALLUDE TO COPYCATING. LOVEBITES OPENLY STATES LOVE OF ANGRA, CHOPIN, GARY MOORE, MAXIMUM THE HORMONE, AND MANY OTHERS!
This is the first time I've ever seen this video... They have another one... that is the usual goto for reactors. This is a completely different concert.
(The other one has a slighty more performance theatric feel)
The Allure of Lovebites is too strong...I'm officially addicted to them

welcome to teh world of Lovebites the world of the most beautiful metal music
You won me by being the first reactor to select the 2021 Ride for Vengeance tour version of Holy War, when everyone else has done the 2020 Diver City performance to death! (I prefer this one) Subscribed.
These ladies are the real deal. Check out Miyako's piano playing, she trained to concert level. Swan Song with the Chopin Etude intro is a good start, but also the live version of Rising, where she does the fastest transition from piano to guitar I've ever seen. For a change of pace, try Edge of the World, Empty Daydream or Epilogue (the so called "e" songs), or work your way through all 3! They have an impressive back catalogue and I've yet to find a bad song. Great reaction, thanks.
It's Diver City not rider city
It probably wasn't his choice but the choice of the person who suggested Lovebites to him and provided the link.
Actually I think I just typed it into CZcams and this one looked like a more interesting thumbnail! 😂😂
Some variety is nice, yea. But to be fair, the reason why DIverCity is usually reccommended and as a result reacted to is that it is mixed and filmed orders of magnitudes better than this version.
Welcome to the world of wolfpack.
Lovebites is the best one metal band right now on the earth.
All the musicians on this band is insane and world class talent.
Not a gimmick or fake. They effortless. Like the Goddesses.
What great reaction and great analysis by the way. Especially you are musician, so you know how good the musicians on this band.
Thank you very much.
Next song from them, try they song "Set the world on fire" or "Break the wall"
Once again thank for your great reaction to Lovebites.
I appreciate your comment! Thank you. Lovebites is awesome. I really wanna hear more!
First time i saw this version of Holy War. I always like when Miyako and Midori stand more close together when doing there solos, so this was quite nice to see here, just like in "We the united" or the "When destinies align" video.
Beautiful ladies creating beautiful music 🐺🏴
Lovebites is the second/third/fourth project for the members so it's not like they met in high school or college and formed a band that way. They were brought together at the behest of Miho, the bassist, when her first band imploded so it wasn't a record label or a music management team that brought the band together.
Oh cool. They all had different origins.
Stand by....Wolfpack incoming 🐺!!! If you want something more thrashy try the song Set the World on Fire. If you want more power metal try Swan Song with the Chopin Intro. Keep rocking 🤘😊🤘
I'm in!
@@PrymalChaos and if you wanna be mindblown try 'burden of time' studio live.
@@PrymalChaos Here is the link to "Swan Song with the Chopin intro" it showcases another side of the band - the piano. czcams.com/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/video.html Enable CC for the lyrics.
yes they do write all of their own music - 50 or so recorded songs in 5 years. close to half written by right guitarist miyako with the dark hair. and the rest co - written by the rest of the band along with behind the scenes keyboard player and songwriter mao. best all female band to ever exist imo. you are in for a helluva ride. and also you are one of the first to react to this later version of holy war as most do the zepp diver city version from 2020. we are waiting for them to come off of hiatus as of last aug. they will be back like the terminators that they are. in the meantime enjoy everything they have to offer and get your mind blown time after time
Awesome effort! They're so talented.
Congratulations my friend, you've just opened Pandora's box of Lovebites, you will not be disappointed in any way. This band of metal goddesses are going to take you on a rollercoaster journey you'll never forget. Personally I'm addicted to them, my wife likes them too, and she hates metal. I suggest rising or when destinies align which was the show opener here. I'm extremely looking forward to ride this journey with you. BYWAY they write everything as a unit. Love ❤ 😍 these girls..🤟🤟🐺🐺👍
I know how your wife feels. I love Enrico Caruso, Jim Hall, Freddie King, and Lovebites. She just love music.
I am excited to be here!
Maybe "Swan Song" inc. Chopin intro should be next - perfect symbiosis classic/metal.
I was introduced to the best band I’ve heard in decades just over a year ago. These ladies are the gold standard and of almost 50 tracks I promise you there is a very wide range of styles and absolutely NO album fillers. Suggest you try “Swansong” (with Chopin etude intro played by the stage left guitarist Miyako.) Until age 18 she was on course to be a concert pianist, then decided to teach herself guitar… from a book.
They're so good.
Great first reaction! They have a wide range of styles from faster n heavy metal to proper ballads and everything in between. This "Holy War" is song #16 from the set IIRC. I would recommend "Set the World on Fire" or 'Winds of Transylvania" from the same show. 🤘🎸🔥
I love Winds of Transylvania live version too but seems like they have taken it down from UTube.
@@gatograto Yes, most of them. I made it unlisted to avoid that. I posted the link in @THISSTHEDRUMMER comment section
Looks like it was an awesome show!
@@PrymalChaos sound-wise not too polished like 2020 show. Great performance, great energy.
Another Love Bitten bro-very nice. The Wolfpack welcomes you dude. These girls are showing all other metal bands how its done. Heavy, power, thrash, ballads, hard rock, progressive-you name it, they did it and did it like nobody else. Power of The Wolfpack cannot be denied. Follow the suggestions and you will be blown away by many of their performances, especially live. Take care
I'm certainly hooked!
"Swan Song" with Chopin etude intro shows off alternate skills, and "Raise some hell" channels a bit of Lemmy and Motorhead
Yeah I'll take a look at that for sure!
i LOVE them-!! i always try to sing along to their songs but it IS difficult~~
if i recommended any song by them it would be “edge of the world” (more ballady i guess) or “hammer of wrath” (a bit more heavy also MY JAM)
I'll check them out!
This band is not a fabrication by some record label, this band is the real deal. I've been into metal since the early 80's and I can honestly say that this is one of the most impressive bands ever.
That's awesome!
Swan song with the Chopin intro. The girl on the right (miyako) is better on piano than guitar. Then set the world on fire Some range. Epilogue Hammer of wrath. Empty daydream. And their finale is edge of the world / we the united (must be together). They are fantastic musicians. The drummer is a maniac, her stamina is something else.
"La fille de droite (miyako) est meilleure au piano qu'à la guitare"... N'IMPORTE QUOI !!! Franchement, si vous voulez parler de Swansong, Miyako à plus que foiré l'intro... vous devez avoir de la merde dans les oreilles... Elle joue merveilleusement du piano (chez elle) mais cela reste juste bon en concert. Elle joue bien mieux de la guitare sur scène. Ses rythmiques, remplissages et jeu en harmonies avec Midori sont époustouflants. Essayez d'être juste dans vos propos...
Yeah I don't think I praised the drummer enough. Rock solid.
Great reaction. Yes, they do write their own songs. And as cool as Holy War is, you should check out something like Edge of the World or Swan Song next. Very different lyrics and more complex songwriting.
As for influences Metallica, Judas Priest, Helloween, Iron Maiden and yes, also Angra, are some bands the members have brought up over the years. I see a lot of X Japan in them as well.
Awesome!
LOVEBITES - Holy War lyrics:
Look at those black clouds, it’s going to rain blood
People live in fear, covered in mud
Singing oh Gloria to change the prophecy
We are the metal warriors
Fighting the darkness for sisters
There is a thousand, a thousand of evils
Hush, do not wake up Satan’s devils
Singing Hallelujah to save our majesty
We are the metal warriors
Fighting the darkness for brothers
Shining blade and burning heart
Into the Gates of Hell we march
Immortal soul, let there be light
Into the Eye of Heaven
Eagles at a holy war
Fly higher than the sun
We are one for all and all for one forevermore
Kingdom of Heaven, never shall we fall
Reincarnation, wait for your call
Singing oh, Gloria to change the prophecy
We are the metal warriors
Fighting the darkness for sisters
Morning star and dying moon
Into the Gates of Hell we march
Mighty soul, let there be hope
Into the Eye of Heaven
Eagles at a holy war
Fly higher than the sun
Stand up in the name of the God of heavy metal
What do we live for？What do we fight for, tonight？
But the world is beautiful, worth fighting for
Only have one thing on our mind
Facing the fate, holy war
Singing Hallelujah to save our majesty
We are the metal warriors
Fighting the darkness for brothers
Shining blade and burning heart
Into the Gates of Hell we march
Immortal soul, let there be light
Into the Eye of Heaven
Eagles at a holy war
Fly higher than the sun
We are one for all and all for one forevermore
What do we live for？What do we fight for, tonight？
But the world is beautiful, worth fighting for
Only have one thing on our mind
Facing the fate, holy war

Finally someone who recognize Angra listening to this song. Holy War is 90% Angra, much more than Iron Maiden or DragonForce that everybody always discovered. By the way, in my opinion Zepp Diver City 2020 still the best version of this Masterpiece. Listen to that Version my friend, i'm corious about your taste. And of course keep on listen to ALL of their songs, wich are TONS of Amazing Gems.
It's ANGRA mixed with "Keeper era" HELLOWEEN. First time I seen Haruna on the drums, I said to myself: "Holy $hit! She is drumming like Ingo Schwichtenberg!!! Who is this chick !??!" Hehehe!
Haven't listened to Angra since about 2006. Something just twigged in my brain!
Excellent start!!! Lovebites is my favorite metal band right now! These ladies are fantastic musicians and always impress everyone. Please check out other songs, my suggestion is "Swan Song" live with Chopin intro.
Thanks for the great video reaction, see you next.
Will do!
Asami is a mezzo-soprano, she comes from a R&B and soul music background
Ahh cool! I heard she likes Halestorm too, which kinda makes sense.
She has a great voice!!
Lovebites.. bad ass kick ass amazing fantastic metal band🤘🤘🤘
The important thing here is that the record company signed the deal without listening to any of their songs.
Interesting.
They are inspired by 80's metal like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. they even do a cover of Judas Priest Painkiller and a cover of Helloween Eagle Fly Free.
I love that those bands still have an audience among young people in certain places like Germany and Japan.
Lovebites have become a necessity for me
They're so good!
Bravo ladies!! So glad Japan is taking up the Rock/Metal/Thrash banner these days, they are crushing it!! They seem like there having so much fun as opposed to the dark, bummed out, posing American rock these days. That is my opinion of American rock these days, I do not claim to be an expert, it is just my perception as a fan of rock, that's all. Before other commenters start in on me.
How good are they?! They're the real deal!
Lovebites were formed back in 2016 by an ex-member of Destrose Miho (Bass) with the help of her friend and ex-member as well of destrose Haruna (Drums), who had asked Midori (guitar) to join. Then they had as a backup Miyako (guitar) who following year joined the band and all 4 women chose the vocalist Asami that fitted so well. Asami who never sang any rock or metal has the RnB and blues background as well as training as a ballerina, all five women are masters and classically trained pianists. All five have contributed to writing songs but the main composer is Miyako with Asami the main lyricists, so yes they write, compose, arrange and produce their own music with help from a long-time friend Mao. They released their debut Ep in 2017 (The Lovebites EP) and the same year released their first album Awakening from Abyss, 2018 they released a new EP Battle against Damnation, and the second album Clockwork Immortality, 2019 released their first Live DVD/CD Daughters of the Dawn. At the end of 2019 they released another EP Golden Destination and in 2020 Electric Pentagram was released, that same year they released several live shows FOAK and Live from the Abyss, in 2021 they released a new EP Glory, glory to the World, in 2022 they released the new live Ride for Vengeance. In 2018 they won the Metal Hammer Golden gods award, they have been to Europe and did Bloodstock and Waken music festivals 2018. In 2021 the founder of Lovebites has since left the band and Lovebites is now on a temporary hiatus. IMO you speak of baby metal as a wonderful this yet to me they suck to poppy, gimmicky, and mainstream crap, the same thing with band maid, Lovebites is the real deal plus there are so much better bands than baby metal and band maid in the Japanese scene. I like to always refer everyone to the "E" songs of Lovenbites masterpieces and classic songs I know you will enjoy.

Nice job Sal......😎👌
Thanks for the heads up Sal. As you probably guessed I'm new to this scene. And honestly I'm super excited to experience more of these guys!
Wolfpack is here for LOVEBITES! You..... just went down a big rabbit-hole! Hehehe! You got a taste of what the princesses can do. Wait until you see what else they can do! I would suggest these songs next: "Frozen Serenade", "Swan Song with Chopin piano intro", "Epilogue", and "Empty Daydream". It's fun to pick-out all the musical influences with Lovebites. You will hear literally EVERYTHING. They take everything, and put it into their songs. It's as if a team of older composers are writing their songs. Is it mostly Miyako and Mao? I'm not so sure. All things will be revealed over time, and I am a patient man. Their songwriting is almost too perfect. They know EXACTLY where to go, and what to do with the music. You noticed it. Wait until you check out their other songs. You will see a pattern. As amazing as these musicians are, the songwriting is equally amazing. Lovebites is a world-class supergroup. They are the future. Sadly, the bass player left the band in the middle of last year. Asami got married, and Miyako had a baby... so the band went on a hiatus for awhile. After the holidays, they are back working again, but still no word yet on a new bass player. Hopefully they will make an announcement soon. Once the world returns to normal... all Lovebites needs to do is tour the world. They will be the next Iron Maiden. They will be mega-stars. They are the future of metal.
The are the real deal man! Awesome!
I am so stuck with Lovebites, most other music lost its meaning...beware, highly addictive band!
The MOST addictive band! From the first hit.... you are TOAST!
I'm in! I'll take the risk. 😁🤘
Me too I'm in
I have been in since 2018 and not even looking for the exit yet don't think I'll even try.
Songwriter of Holy War: Mao Lyrics: Lovebites. From the album Electric Pentagram
Essayez d'être précis !... Paroles/Lovebites, musique/Mao, arrangements/Lovebites...
My third favorite band in Japan! Simply Amazing! The best way to star my day! Great react again man! See you in the next, Kitsune 🤟🏻🦊🇯🇵🔥🔥🔥
10:20 Because Midori and Miyako knew the tragedy which occurs to '' Lovebites'' in near future、they embraced each other
Great reaction to Lovebites! Prior to the pandemic, the only Japanese band I had ever heard of was Maximum the Hormone. Then in 2020 I stumbled upon a video from a band called Band-Maid. I enjoyed their music so much that I started listening to many more Japanese bands. Only two others have clicked with me like Band-Maid. Those two bands are Lovebites and Nemophila. It has very little to do with all three being all-female bands. It is all about the music, musicianship and on stage charisma. There are only two other all-female bands in the world that I would put on their level. Band-Maid is the oldest of the groups and were very dependent on their label for supplying their songs. However, on their last two albums (maybe last three) all the music has been written by their lead guitarist, Kanami Tono. Band-Maid is now a legit hard rock band with some punk thrown in. For Band-Maid I would start with their music video for the song Warning., found on their CZcams channel. Nemophila is the newest of the three bands, having formed in 2019 as a short term project for the vocalist, mayu. The five of them clicked so well that they decided to become a permanent band. Their CZcams channel is full of covers they have done just for fun, and their original stuff. I would start with their music video for the song Revive, unless you are a big Iron Maiden fan like me, in which case start with their cover of Aces High. Nemophila is very much a metal band but they are not afraid to branch out.
Another band you might like is Hanabie, a very young band that started in high school as a Maximum the Hormone tribute band. They have a music video for a song called We Love Sweets. Despite the song's title, you need to take the plunge. It is quite an experience.
Thanks for the tips.. Band Maid is probably my next port of call. Too many requests to ignore. I'm super curious.
@@PrymalChaos BAND-MAID are f..king AWESOME :)
Mostly all of the music is written by the ladies themselves. Miyako (dark-haired guitarist) does the majority of the song-writing and composing, and Asami (vocalist) writes the majority of the lyrics. Miho (bass), who recently departed the band, also wrote and composed several songs and lyrics. Midori (blonde guitarist) and Haruna (drummer) have written and composed one song each (Haruna also wrote the lyrics on hers, though Asami wrote the lyrics for Midori's). There are a couple close friends of the band - Mao and Nana Hatori - who frequently collaborate. Mao assists with some of the composing and extra keyboards (Miyako herself is a world-class concert classical pianist, and she handles the majority of the keys). Nana is a fluent English speaker, and she helps with some of the translating (Asami, Midori, and Miho all speak English, but are not fluent), since all but one of Lovebites songs are in English. But overall, yes, they write their own stuff, and are definitely not a "corporate" band.
Miyako has written almost half of all the Lovebites songs and she is the only band member that has never collaborated with Mao in writing a song. Her only collaboration was with Miho in writing Break the Wall. I don't think any other band member has written a song without Mao's involvement. As a multi-instrumentalist and with her immense classical background, Miyako is the most "musical" member of Lovebites.
That's freakin awesome!
Watch Burden Of Time studio live. Miyako (dark hair) plays both keys and guitar at same time. I mean same time, one hand guitar one hand keys. It's pretty amazing.
That's cool!
Metal's finest band
Your right with the angra reference Midori(blonde guitar player) is an Angra fan. They play other style too. Prog and thrash and some symphonic element cause miyako(the other guitarist is a virtuoso pianist too)
The reason I was struggling to mention it was because last time I listened to Angra was probably 2006! They must be memorable.
Angra is a Midori ( the purple guitarist ) favourite band...
Halestorm is a Asami ( vocalist ) favourite band...
Helloween is a Haruna ( drummer ) favourite band...
Metallica is a Miyako ( black hair guitarist ) favourite band...
And Iron Maiden is a Miho ( bassist ) favourite band...
LOVEBITES is not a project band...
They won a Best New Band by Golden Gods Award ( UK ) in 2018..
Perform at Wacken Open Air..
Bloodstock Open Air ( UK ).
Download Festival ( both UK and Spain )..
Touring with Dragonforce in UK Tour..
Opening band in Arch Anemy concert in China...
By the way... Asami background is a RNB.. Soul and Jazz singer.. she also a ballerina.. she have no idea or clue about heavy metal... but now.. she is a successfull frontwomen of a heavy metal band and had cover Painkiller by Judas Priest with the band...
Untill then... good reaction my friend..
LOVEBITES - Alpha...
Fan - Wolfpack...
Stay safe and stay LOVEBITES...
Here's the link for Painkiller. czcams.com/video/ivJXmOVsFaA/video.html and this is for Eagle Fly Free Helloween cover. czcams.com/video/To21HILZvYE/video.html
.Miyako said in an interview Pantera is her favorite band
Thanks for the tips! I can't believe I spotted Angra. I just replied to a different comment and realised I haven't heard them since about 2006 😂
Excellent reaction 👍
Welcome to the world of Lovebites.... the best heavy metal band existing on planet earth 🌏
Phenomenal musicians and each one of them having an aura of their own.
I suggest Break the Wall, Thunder Vengeance, Hammer of Wrath, Swan Song (with Chopin intro ) for your next reaction.
Glory to Lovebites! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺
MIHO! MIHO! MIHO! 🤘🐺 🔥
Thanks for the tips!
Metals No1 band 🐺🤘
Lets try Winds of Transylvania the NON VLAD version by Lovebites.
It's crazy goodie good!🙂👍🏻🤘
Here's another style this band does Miyako was classically trained Piano from age 3 and here's a song she composed starting it with her on a piano solo doing Chopin. Swan Song with Chopin Intro czcams.com/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/video.html
Yeah. That's already been requested too much for me to not do it! Stay tuned. 😆🤘
Thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 We say "Japan is a country obsessed by Rock Music". I believe the obsession started in 1966 when Beatles visited Japan and held 5 concerts at Budokan. Talking about hard rock / heavy metal music, a number of bands started to come to Japan thereafter : Led Zeppelin / Grand Funk Railroad (1971), Deep Purple (1972), Kiss (1977), Iron Maiden (1981) and so on. Now, any type of rock can be enjoyed here and we can see a number of good male bands, too. In a popular TV program, Keiko, a lead singer of Show-Ya (a pioneer of Japanese all-female bands) and Saki (Nemophila) emphasized one thing saying "BABYMETAL is not a ALL-female band, but thanks to their international success many music fans in foreign countries became aware of female bands in Japan disregarding language barrier. They opened doors for us". Uh oh, we also say "Japan is a country obsessed by Jazz". It had started earlier than rock 😄
I am glad you mentioned Keiko Terada of Show-Ya. She is definitely a pioneer and probably the primary reason that there are so many talented Japanese women in rock/metal today.
Oddly enough I recently found an old vinyl copy of the Deep Purple double LP "Made in Japan" which was an assemblage of live recordings from their 1972 Japanese tour. I think it was more the Led Zeppelin and particularly the Deep Purple tours that kick started Japan's obsession with hard rock and proto-metal as well as their love for big, over the top live productions. Many of the hugely talented pool of Japanese metal and rock artists today grew up on a diet of those rock and metal giants of the 70s and early 80s and have been massively influenced by them. For some three decades since then the Japanese rock and metal scene has simmered away and fermented behind closed doors, unnoticed by the rest of the world, until Babymetal kicked the doors open to the world and allowed the extraordinary wealth of Japanese music to explode into the open. It was worth waiting for!
@@michaelafrancis1361 Thanks for your comment. As you suggested, many Japanese musicians are like children of American / European rock music. For example, there are large number of good live records, CDs and DVDs especially recorded at Budokan by H/R & H/M bands other than 1972 Deep Purple : Kiss (1977), Cheap Trick (1978), Eric Clapton (1979), Scorpions (1979), The Michael Schenker Group (1981), Rainbow (1984), Guns N' Roses (1988), Yngwie Malmsteen (1994), Metallica (1998), Ozzy Osbourne (2002), Dream Theater (2004 / 2017), Judas Priest (2005), Iron Maiden (2006), RHCP (2013) and etc.
From my favorite funk rock genre : Chase (1972), Earth, Wind and Fire (1979), Chicago (1996) and so on ... Just so you know, I did not listen to them all. There is a magazine enumerating those discs 😄 .
Of course other there are myriad of music discs recorded at other big halls, arenas, domes and open-air festivals. Phew !!
I had heard for years that bands (particularly shreddy kind of bands like Van Halen and Mr Big) always crushed over in Japan.
I guess it makes sense that metal is woven deep within the culture.
@@PrymalChaos Thanks for your response. According to the information I gathered, Van Halen is one of the rock bands performed at Budokan, a legendary arena in Tokyo. (see the following list of analogue records, CDs and DVDs recorded at the venue.) BABYMETAL performed live there in 2014 (2 nights) and last year 2021 (10 concerts 😲Ｉ witnessed 9 of them 😄 ).
Deep Purple (1972), Led Zeppelin (1972), Chase (1972), Kiss (1977), Cheap Trick (1978), Eric Clapton (1979), Queen (1976 / 1979), Earth, Wind and Fire (1979), Scorpions (1979), The Michael Schenker Group (1981), Rainbow (1984), Iron Maiden (1987 / 2006), Guns N' Roses (1988), Yngwie Malmsteen (1994), Van Halen (1995), Chicago (1996), Metallica (1998), Ozzy Osbourne (2002), Dream Theater (2004 / 2017), Judas Priest (2005), RHCP (2013) and many more.
Relax man, you finally found something that's real. They are the real deal. They have no peer. You'll see.🤘🏾

Awesome reaction. If you want to go heavier a good one to start with is "Set The World On Fire"

No Lovebites is not manufactured. They are the real deal. Lovebites won the Metal Hammer Golden God Award for best new band in 2018. They range from just metal all the way to thrash metal. Everything they do is in English to branch out there music to countries other then japan. They formed after the band Destrose disbanded and bassist Miho and Drummer Haruna wanted to form a band that played a more European style metal.
Currently the band is on hiatus as Miho has left and they said they will return and there social media posts suggest that they are currently working ok upcoming music
Yeah. That one seems to be recommended a lot!
OMG I was about to ask if you heard of Angra when you said it. 🤯🤯
This song reminds me so much of Angra
I can't believe I picked it.. I haven't heard Angra since about 2006, usually my memory is trash! 😂

Wow! Can't wait to dig into all this stuff!
I've been a drummer in rock, metal, funk and r&b, and never experienced a band this talented in my life. Im so proud of them that when I watch and listen they bring my emotions to an all-time high, I can almost feel the joy they feel while playing. only one other band gets me going emotionally right now and that's Nightwish. BUT!! these women are great players and have fantastic drive. They will be world known in no time. :-)
There is nothing manufacturer or artificially assembled here. This is customary in pop music, because there they earn a lot of money. In Rock and Metal, this is hardly any one, certainly not in the conservative Japan. All Lovebites women played in several bands before summarizing Lovebites. The ladies had all heavy years behind them.
Thanks for this reaction video. All 5 Lovebites women are masters. These Ladies write, compose and arrange their own songs. Almost 50 premium songs in 5 years and not a single weak song. Masters in live playing and geniuses in composing.
LOVEBITES: Their gimmick is their ability! -
This women play different styles, but always hard and fast. Thrash Metal + Power Metal + Speed Metal + Metal Ballads.
We hope for more of you to Lovebites. S u g g e s t i o n s for next reaction V i d e o : Get to know the brutal thrash metal side of Lovebites with one of these songs : ALL LIVE !!!
The Hammer Of Wrath - Zepp Diver City live 2020
Thunder Vengeance - Zepp Diver City live 2020
Break the Wall - Zepp Diver City live 2020
Set The World On Fire - live from "Ride For Vengeance Tour 2021 - Tokyo Dome City Hall
T h e L o v e b i t e s m o t t o is : "We're not here to be cute, we're here to be heavy"
The white clothes: Lovebites women say: "We wear these clothes because we are women and because we don't want to look like 90% of metal bands in the last 35 years".🤘🏿🐺
Yeah. You're absolutely right. I was drawing from my basic understanding of the JPop and KPop scenes. I figured it's just how the entertainment industry worked in many Asian countries. But now I have a better understanding.
These ladies are the real deal!
Please react to the all female band called Lovebites with their music video "Judgement Day". The heavy metal band from Japan who sing in English. They have two phenomenal guitarists. Lovebites won the 2018 Metal Hammer Golden Gods award for best new band.
I think I've done a couple of Lovebites songs. They're amazing!
This song was written by Miho (bass & band founder). They all write with Miyako (Black hair guitarist) having written about half of the songs. She has her own home studio. Final production of their songs is done in Finland. They wanted a European sound rather Japanese.
They have played 2 festivals in European plus touring the UK with Dragon Force.
Oh shit! That's commitment! There's probably no better place to go than Finland for that kind of thing. Nightwish are so popular there that Marco starred in 'The Masked Singer' on TV.
@@PrymalChaos They use the same mixing engineers as Nightwish.
@@michaelafrancis1361 oh! No way! Haha.
@@PrymalChaos Absolutely. Their CDs and even their live post production audio is mixed and mastered by Miko Karmila and Miko Jussila, the same guys who mix Nightwish at Finnox Studios in Helsinki.
Great reaction from a musician & engineering point of view.
My suggestions? 'Scream for me' and 'Edge Of The World'. Shows a different style & range.
Edge of the world is coming up a lot. May have to be up next.
Oh, man, you’ve just scratched the tip of the iceberg. These women are extremely talented, skillful and versatile exceptional musicians. They really shine in their live performances. Yes, their main influences are Iron Maiden, Metallica, Angra, Helloween, Slayer, Megadeth, Deep Purple, Judas Priest, Dragonforce, and even Gary Moore, but they have been developing their unique style. They performed at Wacken Open Air, Germany, in 2018, with great success, and toured the UK in 2019 with Dragonforce (by the way, they are good friends). Some people say that they are redefining metal or that they are breaking the walls of stereotypes in the metal scene. Those twin lead guitar solos are already legendary, in just 5 years. My next recommendations are “Thunder vengeance”, “Set the world on fire”, Hammer of wrath”, “Break the wall”, “Shadowmaker” or, for a different side: “Empty daydream”, “Epilogue”, “Edge of the world”, “Spellbound”, “Frozen serenade” (all live if possible). Lineup:
Haruna - Drums
Miho - Bass, backing vocals
Midori - Lead & rhythm guitar, backing vocals
Miyako - Lead & rhythm guitar, keyboards, classical piano, backing vocals
Asami - Lead vocals, some piano
Honestly these seem like the real deal. As in classic roots stuff.
they are not manufactured.they compose their own music.they have 6th non official member name mao just helping composed their music.
Dragonfoce and Lovebites,... connection too easy ?
Lovebites were the support Act for the Dragonfoce Tour 2019. There is also a video with Lovebites and Herman Li. 😁( Herman Li missing member of Lovebites)
Hahah. It just seemed too obvious of a comparison. I was trying to think of older bands that seemed to match. Maybe early Rhapsody as well. 🤘
welcome to LOVEBITES, and we play heavy metal.....and these ladies play it damn well, all are multitalented, lyrics are great(and they write their own), there are no bad songs(stay away from Bloodstock concert, sound was messed up, not bands fault), these ladies are friggin awesome, come down the rabbit hole and enjoy the journey
Thanks for the tip.
@@PrymalChaos YW, saw a couple reactors do that concert and it wasn't very good. Apparently the band was suppose to be on one stage and at the last minute had to relocate, so sound setup was poor, nothing the band could do but perform and do their best as always. Their DVD for their Ride for Vengeance tour is pretty awesome, enjoy these ladies, hope we will see more of them
You're right on the 2 guitarists different styles. The first one ( Miyako ) is a prodigy pianist who taught herself to play the guitar. She's more on the feels and you can see her movements are more flowy, especially the way she strums. Other guitarist ( Midori ) is proper music school trained and tends to play more technical and speed.
Vocalist ( Asami ) is from RnB background hence she doesn't fit into the normal singing style of a traditional power metal vocalist.
Leader of the band is Miho, the bassist, and she writes a lot of the songs. But she just left the band and now we don't know what's going to happen to Bandmaid. Band is on hiatus. Miyako also just had a baby.
Haruna the drummer is crazy. She can double kick for a 2 hour concert whilst smiling and bobbing like a little girl.
Haruna is a machine!
More pulled back and emotional? Try Edge of the World (although it will still surprise you): czcams.com/video/UZjxMjBop7w/video.html or Empty Daydream: czcams.com/video/lXh_uMM94jU/video.html
A little bit funky? Try The Unbroken: czcams.com/video/wZcwuIcnwHo/video.html
Maybe something a bit more thrashy or Metallica-esque? Try Break the Wall: czcams.com/video/5Pc0XK0lNmU/video.html or The Hammer of Wrath (with intro): czcams.com/video/otJZPUCwyOM/video.html
How about some good old classic rock? Here's Raise Some Hell: czcams.com/video/zamSQD0JUFk/video.html or Dancing With The Devil: czcams.com/video/mJGgLFTPME8/video.html
Maybe some neoclassical power metal? Go for Swan Song (with Chopin piano intro): czcams.com/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/video.html
That'll get you on the right track, but you can't go wrong. Good ears, by the way... yes, their influences include Iron Maiden, Metallica, Judas Priest and Helloween among others, but Midori (blonde guitarist) is a big Angra fan. Miyako, the other guitarist, is a big Gary Moore fan. Who'd have thought those two styles would go perfectly together?
I am so I to this rabbit hole.
@@PrymalChaos You can't escape this one. 😁
They also play other styles. How about some soul metal?
Burden of time: czcams.com/video/4OBf_Gn8efs/video.html
Lovebites were not manufactured, unless some other Japanese bands. Haruna (drummer) and former bassist Miho played together in an all-female band called Destrose, which has spawned a lot of other female metal bands but was not very successful in itself. They wanted to form a new band and contacted the guitarists Miyako (Dean) and Midori (ESP), which they knew through the Tokyo scene. Together they casted the singer Asami from a demo tape that she had sent to the label (JVC/Kenwood/Victor Entertainment). Asami was an R'n'B/soul singer and rock music backup singer and according to some accounts hadn't even heard of metal before, but she has been converted apparently and even composes thrash metal songs for Lovebites now. I guess others here will tell the full story, or just go on Wikipedia. But in fact there are quite a lot of independent metal bands in Japan who may be signed to a major label (Lovebites are) or not, but are not a corporate product. They are a bit of a "supergroup", though, they all have fairly long experience in other bands. Professional musicians, in a nutshell, with a liking for heavy music and a good concept, but the concept is their own.
They write and arrange their songs themselves, with contributions from "a sixth band member", Mao, keyboardist of Lightbringer.
I can see now that most of these Japanese bands (Band-Maid, Lovebites, Gacharis Spin etc) are as organic as any other rock band. I can also see the the breadth of their talent seems limitless.
Miho Miho Miho!
For some context, Miyako, the guitarist on the right of the stage w/ black hair, was pregnant at the time.
So what you're saying is that they were a 6 piece band at the time..
" M & M " Midori ( the blonde ) & Miyako, my favorite guitar duo ♥ Midori is, " The Crazy Shredder " & Miyako, is more melodic. Miyako is also a world class pianist who composes & arranges over half their music. I recommend for your next listen, " Chopin Intro + Swan Song. "🎙🎹🎸🥁😎👌
Oh cool! That's good to know. What an interesting band!
Great team. They seem to compliment each other well.
@@PrymalChaos the lead singer Asami, writes most of the lyrics & describes Miyako like this, " every band should have a Miyako in it ! "
If it weren’t for that damn COVID that crowd would’ve been much livelier. But still the ladies went all out. Sorry if it was already mentioned, but the guitarist to the right, Miyako was already 4 mo. Pregnant. If that ain’t bad ass I don’t know what is.
Yeah, the crowd response sucks with Japan mandating no loud cheering & yelling at live events, only applause allowed. The pre-lockdown crowds were so much better in Japan
@@TheNightOwl11683 Wait until Lovebites does "Rock in Rio". All those Iron Maiden fans down there will go ballistic.
That's wild! To be honest I hadn't even noticed the crowd reaction. I was too fixated on their talent!
No not a project. The bassist Miho formed , along with her drummer ,Haruna, from scratch , after Destrose disbanded. Asami the singer came from Rn B background and 12 years of ballet. Miyako was a concert level classical pianist who only took up gtr at 18yo when she started Uni, 4 of the 5 girls studied piano from a very early age. So their arrangements are immaculate as are their performance skills. The were invited to play festivals in Europe and won an award from Metal Hammer mag as Best New Metal Act . following those shows. Astounding and diverse for metal act as you will see as you explore their rep.
Thanks for the back story! I was genuinely curious. Sometimes the right people just find each other.
First I would personally like to extend my claws and welcome you to the Wolfpack🐺 . These girls are the tightest, most technically sic'nlegit musicians. Pick any of them out of a hat; drop them in a band and their $gate
Asami enchanting siren with; "ALMOST" stage presence of Freddy Mercury.. I mean he's Freddy fn' Mercury🤘
Haruna; writer drums and co-founder. A Relentless machine.
Miho; writer Bass old school finger strumming, hand Slap'n Tap'n Savage.
Midori the guitarist on the left; writer and absolute monster.
Miyoko; writer Composer Arrangements world-class concert pianist. Since Picked up guitar late in life at 17. All things relative; she's still a baby in guitar yrs.. Just your average godFn'Zilla. You'll hear influences from as far back as Deep Purple(I saw a child in Time live in 71) They play almost every genre power thrash Hard Rock power balance soft ballads. They recently covered painkiller. It was the Doo Doo They start their concerts with the tanker truck of nitrous and hit the button.💣🔥 hold on the ride just started. Again welcome to the Wolfpack 🐺🤘
Thank you. I'm glad to be here!
Miyako(guitarist to your right) was 6 months along at this time..
Oh cool!
I've heard 3 months, then 4 months and now 6 months. Does anyone know the correct answer?
@@LovebitesFanForLife Everything is very simple. 🤗Miyako gave birth in August 2021. This is a video from a concert that took place on March 26, 2021. Therefore, the gestation period is from 4 to 5 months.
@@GrayFox14 That's cool Math 😎. I used to wonder too.🤘
@@Phoenix-ci7ix Thank you .😀
Lovebites: Break the Wall, The Crusade, Raise some Hell, The Hammer of Wrath, Rising, Set the World on Fire, ...
Note: Don't use songs from Bloodstock 2018. Bad audio!
Thanks for the tip!
okay since a lot of people recommended their progressive song "Edge Of The World."
I would also recommend it too
czcams.com/video/UZjxMjBop7w/video.html
*btw Lovebites not only play power metal like this one, but also thrash metal, power ballads and a bit of hardrock
Thanks for the link! I can't wait to hear more.
😁
Great analysis and review. Yes, they are influenced by Maiden and all other great bands from 80s to 90s, and a little older musicians of romantic era classic such as Rachmaninov, Chopin, Beethoven, Dovolzark, and Tchaikovsky. They even composed a homage of Aces High of Iron Maden which titled The Crusade czcams.com/video/z0x1QV3wMIg/video.html. They compose all their songs except for a couple of cover songs.
They play mainly power/thrash metal but various other genres including hard rock.
As you are a guitarist, I strongly recommend you to try their slower and most soulful piece. Epilogue czcams.com/video/JIAJYBuuKGM/video.html
Thanks for the tips and the links! I'm sure I'll be reacting to all of this stuff.
Love the channel going to check you out a bit
Thank you I appreciate that!
iron maiden is bassplayers miho favourite band, angra the one of blonde guitarist midori. they are insnaely good. audience was covid restricted. founded 2016 (singer asami had no clue of metal, she came from R&B, first album 2017 im 2018 they won metal hammers golden god award for best newcomer and played wacken as first all female metalband ever.
next: nemophila - raitei czcams.com/video/lh-dVLKP314/video.html supergroup with tons of joy playing
Yeah I've heard a lot about Nemophilia. May be up shortly!
Also can't believe I nailed that Angra reference. I haven't heard them since about 2006! Hahaha
🤘😁🤘
I ran into a group called 'a crowd of rebellion' a while ago. They have a song called 'M1917' which is a jpop hardcore fusion in that special type of crazy only Japan can make. All of their stuff is deep-fried Aztec gold, brother. Get on it.
Also, Broken By The Scream - 感情クロスカウンター - has Tatiana level female vocal chops
Good call! I'll take a look man!
Check out Lovebites cover of Painkiller
You should try Band Maid Domination live
They're on the list.
if you want speed metal, check Unlucky Morpheus - Black pentagram
Don't fast forward the video
Did I? I usually backtrack a little. Wasn't aware that I skipped ahead.
they are organic bass player and drummer formed band
Very cool!
🇯🇵🎌🇯🇵
They write their own stuff and lyrics. Asami the vocalist has a very thick accent, but she attended college in the US and learned English. There's still some errors here and there, but many European bands do far worse.
The music is mostly written by Miyako the dark haired guitar, and Miho the bass player. There is also a guy named Mao who does some writing with them.
They make a great team.
Oh, I remember one more thing. Just try to stay away from Bloodstock Open Air. The sound quality is insulting level to musicians. If you react to it, Wolfpack will jump on you.
Ok. Thanks for the heads up!
@@PrymalChaos I agree, avoid Bloodstock footage until you've seen at least a half dozen Lovebites songs. Always use the links the wolfpack provides you. Any concert from Japan or Wacken is fine.
Nice1 mate....Bloodstock is shite, not the ladies fault due to last minute changes. 🐺
Name a better guitar duos currently all over the world...NONE
Fantasy metal ??? This is powermetal. And in other songs by them its quit some Trash influences. But Fantasy metal..😅???
The idiotic Western music attitude can be wrapped up in the Bowling for Soup song “Punk Rock 101.” The chorus states “It’s stupid, contagious To be broke and famous. Could someone please save us from punk rock 101.” This is a direct shot at music fans that bring the hate when a band has success, and “sold out.” Only music fans seem to want the bands they like to fail. It is an absolutely moronic attitude to expect musicians, who have spent most of their life struggling to make a dime, to continue to be poor, so some fans will think they are cool. Great, talented musicians deserve to do well financially.
Well said! Also, just let people like stuff! If it's not for you.. cool, move on quietly and find your own passion. Possibly the worst part of music is usually the fanbase.
Although I will say this.. since I started this channel I have replied to thousands of music fans and have experienced, almost exclusively, nothing but kind, generous, positive and supportive attitudes.
I'm glad to be doing this for that reason. 🤘🤘
Another wannabe who just can't help showing his guitar, during Lovebites... My poor man.
Hi Boris. Part of what I do is add value to my reactions by discussing basic performance, songwriting and productions techniques that stand out. I also try to imagine that most of my viewers may not be musicians so I take the time to explain basic techniques like guitar tapping, or vocal layering etc.
It may not be for everybody, but people seem to like it. Especially since out of the literal thousands of comments I've responded to only about 6 have been critical. Most are overwhelmingly grateful.
Thanks for checking in.
For a real contrast in style, I'd suggest Epilogue (or either of their other 2 'E' songs, Empty Daydream or Edge of the World). Other than Bloodstock or fan footage, you can't go wrong with any song of theirs ... all meat, no fillers. While they call themselves a Metal Band, the breadth of their influences and talent, leave them neither defined nor confined by genre, gender or nationality.
Now I'm gonna have to watch the bloodstock videos just to see how bad the sound was!
Yes. The sound is REALLY bad. Having said that, I've still watched that full set 50 times
