this no us metal band this is PROGRESSIVE METAL
um I think the days of labelling what kind of metal a band is are kind of over honestly with youtube showcasing so many things now... maybe we should call Sabaton... cause nobody does what they do... same for Asterism and yes even Lovebites is unique..... ITS A GREAT TIME TO BE A METAL FAN RIGHT?!?
@@OldSkuleNerd Absolutely!
@@OldSkuleNerd Too true.
@@OldSkuleNerd Your words after reacting were amazing man, respect.
I used to call this, “Thrash metal.”
I've said it before, Miyako is a genius!
This song is fucking amazing
Guitar is "only" her second instrument, she started piano at the age of 3, is a classical trained concert pianist and just started guitar with 18 😉
She can also play the bass and drums. Not as well as her band mates but she can and does work on them to improve.
Thank you from Japan .
I am a dad of an amazing daughter and we are in the same place.
Miyako ia freaking Mozart of METAL ,hell yeah🤘🔥🔥🔥
Lol....but....YES!!!
Ha yes,Lovebites great talent.
Read an article a couple years back that metal fans also prefer classical music.
You want another masterpice try "Epilogue".
This band Lovebites has in his repetoire only masterpieces and super masterpieces. This song is an example of that.
They are absolutely amazing, and their musical chops on their instruments is indeed phenomenal. The only thing that's sad is that probably none of these incredible guitarists will get much mainstream attention and recognition.
Holy Haruna, Batman. She owns that kit. Dare I say she reminds me a lot of Ingo Schwichtenberg (RIP), the original drummer for Helloween. The tempo/energy in her playing is totally amazing.
She is a fan of Helloween so I would assume Ingo Schwichtenberg was a big influence on her.
Congratulations on being another "older" dude who refuses to remain stuck in the music of your youth! I'm coming up on 55 myself. Several years ago I realized I was in a musical rut, and that I needed to change that. So I mostly put down my own guitars for a while, and just spent a few years just exploring and *listening* to new music, trying to discover what was out there. And it's been a hell of a journey as I've discovered so many newer, phenomenal bands that I had never heard of. Discovering Lovebites about three weeks ago has been one of the best rewards for my searching. They are absolutely phenomenal.
I relate so much my kids be saying I listen to DAD ROCK ugh! I am 61 and this is definately my favorite metal band 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 I may also mention AD INFINITUM KICKS ASS TOO!
thanks for this reaction video and the praise of all the young female musical talents in rock/metal. but I missed the special praise for miyako for playing piano masterful and so emotional and then shreds masterly and then plays piano at toplevel again in one live (!) song. this is so incredible, who else in the whole world can do that (quick edit: in whole history of rock/metal) ? miyako is musical genius and that´s why they stand out.
"Chrissy Tiegen with talent." I literally laughed out loud in my office just now XD
Oh, also, you really need to check out the band Onmyouza. Not all-female, but another awesome Japanese metal band with a duo of male & female on vocals, and they rule. My favorite band.
Christie Tiegen with talent always gets me.
Hey, when you have this much raw talent and mix it up with a solid work ethic you get bands like Lovebites, Band Maid, Nightwish and many more. Miyako, Kanami and Tuomas all have this musical genius thing going on, when you write so many songs and they're all so good there's no denying they have a gift for sure, but they also work hard and that is why they are among the best.
And let's not forget even tough these bands have a main composer, im sure its the case all the other members chip in with their ideas and arrangements.
Thanks for checking out these gorgeous girls, they melt my face every time and they are releasing a new EP in March!
Speaking of releases, Band Maid is releasing a new MV for their song "Warning" today, in about an hour.
Stay safe!
Man, this is beyond belief how good they all are! The drummer is kicking ass, too, and goes pretty much unnoticed because of the rest. WOW!! Totally agree with your closing comments!!
Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Not just the song (I know it inside out), but for the beautiful reaction. Well said.
Miyako plays the guitar and the keyboard at the same time in " Burden of Time " .
Saki of Mary's Blood, Sakura of Hagane , Lisa-X , and ,of course , Hal-ca of Asterism ,,,,there are so many extremely talented female guitarists in Japan .
Kanami from Band-Maid too
Yes, Chopin's "Revolutionary Etude" Op. 10 No. 12 and her composed outro piece at the end. The lyrics to the song talks about gallant warriors, brave soldiers, battle in Valhalla, valor, life of one saving many others, legend of swan - Chopin's Etude came out at the time of the failed uprising in Warsaw, Poland in 1831 against the occupying Russia. Poland is Chopin's beloved motherland. He would never sat foot in his homeland again. So, the song composed by Miyako who loves Chopin is an ode to the brave fallen fighters of the history. Not a happy song despite the fast beat. It's a beautiful epic metal song. Although, Etude is not on the album (I have the album), but this performance is very fitting as the song and the Etude make a perfect combination. And their unspoken meaning is clear. Yes, Miyako is a genius, just like Kanami.
I sent my mom the link to the shorter clip of Miyaki playing the Chopin piece, because it's one she used to play herself. She was very impressed! (I didn't bother sending her the full performance - she's 76 years old, and just isn't going to enjoy metal no matter how skillful the players.)
@@rikosborne1212 Hey! I'm about your mom's age and still hanging around here. Your mom will love metal.
Yes, this is my first time I love so much with all female band.
I have been listening to many many great male band.
But Lovebites make me get bites so hard.
Not just because they beautiful woman, but they really really world class musicians.
Thank you sir, for great reaction to Lovebites. Specially when you so proud with all female musicians and band.
Next song from them, try some power ballads. "Edge of the world" or "Epilogue"
it goes waaaayyy beyond music!!
Miyako said "Metal and Classical are so closely alligned it helped ease me into learning the guitar." When asked who she would love to play with "Metallica, they are the godfathers of metal"
《under the red sky》live please!🤘🏻
Midori needs more reputation!! She's also as great as Miyako!!!! Midori is my LIFE.
They are like ying yang they compliment each other lovebites is amazing.
@galaxy heavymetal, I am with you!
Agree!! Midori is my girl. She definitely needs more recognition. She’s on my list of top 5 best guitar players ever!
@@debrakurenai588 agreed.
I 100% love Midori!
LOVEBITES - Swan Song lyrics:
If this was the last day you could live on this earth
World 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
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
Thank you for posting this. These lyrics mean so much, especially in the times we live.
you maynot see this, but for me the biggest fantasy would be m&m on stage with metallica
Remember The Runaways? The first female hard rock group that I heard.
The best rock groups are Band-Maid
Asterism Lovebites.
11 women out of 13 band members.
That says something.....
Girlschool was my first.
The Runaways went to Japan in 1977 and were welcomed as superstars when America was treating them like a joke.. They inspired countless Japanese girls to take up instruments and the results of that can be seen in hundreds of Japanese all female, mostly female, and female-fronted bands that have been melting faces for the last 40 years.
Love Asterism!!! Hal-Ca is a force
Lita Ford, who OSN names-checks, was lead guitar in The Runaways.
Yes, I caught the name check. I was replying to a comment that insulted the Runaways, but it looks like it was removed.
Another great reaction!, these girls are phenomenal. You can try reacting to the band where Haruna - Drums and Miho - Bass came from, Destrose.
my old metal dreams come true with this wonderful band
Wow, awesome song. I actually paused your reaction so I could watch the original video , then finished up what OSN had to say.
BTW, BAIND-MAID is releasing a new Video today this morning as well. OSN and BM with my coffee is a perfect start to my day
Wait until you watch Burden of Time when Miyako plays guitar with one hand and keyboard with one :-D
i would love to see them live and hear their music today for the first time
Listen to the downward scale in the Chopin piece from 04:10, and then listen to Miyako's guitar solo at 10:32.
She literally put Chopin in her solo :-)
Yes! Unlike mainstream rock musicians, metal musicians typically have classical training. It would be almost impossible to play at that level without such training. Where Miyako, Kanami, John Petrucci, Tuomas Holopainen and a handful of others stand out is in their ability to take those influences and weave them into new compositions. Good ear!
Lovebites is simply one of the best bands in the world.
Beautiful reaction :-) thank you much :-)
Great great reaction...react to EPILOGUE LIVE...this song is incredible........
LOVEBITES IS METAL BAND......BAND MAID IS HARD ROCK BAND.....BAY METAL IS POP METAL BAND number one in the world....
That main melody, they introduce at the beginning with the dual guitars, quotes Antone Dvorak. (I believe it is New World Symphony) They expand on it a bit during the solos. There is a bit of Tchaikovsky in there toward the end too. The dual guitar work in this sounds like a cross between Iron Maiden and Allman Brothers playing Dvorak.
HOLY HELL! Am more then Impressed! Wonderful Guitar player and song is freaking amazing!
You can say that Lovebites look like many bands, they incorporate the best of all of them and just make it more gracious, elegant and insanely technical.
In Burden of Time Miyako plays both keyboard and guitar simultaneously. Epilogue she nails both piano and guitar.
You are so correct about the changes and acceptance. Completely agree with you.
Hal-Ca from Asterism would be an oddity in my days. But Miyako is definitely better, but in next few years, Hal-Ca might be taking over, still Miyako playing 5-6 instruments and classically trained pianist an a backing vocalist is a hard thing to beat, by anyone.
More all female bands? Scandal, Band-Maid, Nemophila, Aldious, Mary's Blood, Ghacaric Spin, Doll$box, Show Ya, Trident, Stereopony, Accént, Bridear, Destrose, Cyntia, RivinI, Silent Siren, BiSH, and the list goes on and on ... then you add mixed bands like Asterism, BabyMetal, Unlucky Morpheus, Wagakki Band for example, then all male like One OK Rock, X Japan for example, then add Visual Kei ... I'd say over 300 active rock/metal bands from Japan alone with at least 150-200 all female if not more than that.
Then you can add all female bands from Sweden, South America, Mexico, Eastern Europe and I think you could have about 500-600 all female bands compared to another 1000 of mixed or all male together. Ladies are taking over and I'm loving it!
The North America and UK are the ones that dictate what is listened, so there are rarely any of these bands on their charts, radio stations, media or anything, they all promote same-old commercialized bands or hip-hop/rap. Even country music in US has hard time getting through, which is still popular. And the rest of the world tries to follow their trend, but nowadays it is slowly changing in the rest of the world, thanks to K-Pop.
I've been listening to K-Pop, J-Pop and J-Rock since 2016, and I think I got in late :)
I Hope you will check their ballad song called Epilogue..
great reaction btw
Lovebites, Band Maid, Nemophila, Mary’s Blood are just favorite bands now. I grew up on classic rock. But these ladies just write incredible music like Nightwish. Love this. Yes Miyako is a concert pianist, along with virtuoso guitarist. She does all piano backing tracks. Asami was a ballerina, so she uses that grace in the shows.
Another all Girl Japanese Band that has some excellent tracks is "Aldious"... Might be worth checking out.
I told you bro🤣
Aldious has female guitarists, Bridear has them too
Trust me Miyako can be flashy when she wants.
The Hammer of Wrath, comrade. Only The Hammer of Wrath .A storm of delight, a fountain of snot and admiration for young ladies are guaranteed to you.
Unfortunately, The Hammer of Wrath from Five of a Kind was removed from CZcams today.
@@dregeye Yes indeed. It is not clear why this particular video was removed, while all the others are in place. Very sorry. This is the most down-to-earth and perfect composition in its style.
Frickin awesome I suggested this right after you called her the evil genius that scares the sh%t out if you. There was a 2 minute Chopin intro to this that got taken down but this is the next best thing🤘😃🤘
Yessss! Thank you for getting to this, as you can see it was worth it. I completely support your comments about my heroes Joan Jett, Lita Forde, Pat Benatar (whom I saw live, OMG), women in metal and also the stifling effect of the American music industry--in fact, I've said the same things in my blog and other written commentary. I encourage you to do some Lovebites reactions with your girls--they radiate girl power and sing empowering, inspiring songs.
All members of Lovebites are not only exceptionally talented on their main instrument but most of them are also multi-instrumentalists. Miyako (guitar & piano) also plays a pretty mean bass finger style and some drums, Miho (bass) also plays guitar and drums, Midori (blond guitarist) started learning to play classical piano at the age of two and Asami (vocalist) plays some piano, had voice training in the US and her graceful stage movements come from studying classical ballet when she was younger. I don't know anything about Haruna's (drums).musicla background. I would put Lovebites live up against any other male or female metal band and think they would probably slay the opposition. Thank goodness we can now accept female guitarists as equal to , and in some cases better than males, without being condescending like Lemmy of Motorhead who once said of a female guitartist 'not bad for a girl'. Miyako and Midori are the equal of any male metal guitarists in skill level, tecnhique, speed etc. They are all so modest and unassuming and make their performances seem so effortless.with no gimmicks or gurning. As a 75 year old who has grown up with rock and roll in all its varieties since Bill Haley, I am glad that I have lived long enough to witness the Japanese rock, hand rock and metal revival in the C21st.
Me too. They keep me alive.
So far, I prefer Band-Maid--but it's just that, MY personal preference, NOT an "objective" comparison. These women are pretty great, too.
Great lyrics either way. Everyone talks so much about the fantastic musicianship and I agree. I wish more people would send them more love for their uplifting beautiful lyrics too.
From France. Thank you for these details concerning the other talents of each of them. I am just a little younger than you and I too have seen groups and musicians since the end of the fifties, sometimes formidable, often extraordinary. And I find the Lovebites, not only prodigiously talented, but they bring an unparalleled freshness to rock music of all tendencies. It had been a long time since I had been so excited about a new rock band.
PS: there is another group that enchants me, Japanese too: Wagakki Band. They achieve an excellent fusion of rock metal / traditional Japanese music.
I think asami could play instrument too, her sibling/old sister is one of popular violinist in their city (idk if in Japan) but Asami went to her performance/concert
Awesome you found it!!!
Just in time! Taken down again today...
Miho Miho Miho!
Hello Friend , Amazing Lovebites , the difference wit other female metal band is Miyako , she is Amazing , greetings from Chile 🇨🇱 , God bless you .
I would say the difference is Miho, Haruna, Midori, Asami AND Miyako, (and not to ignore Mao's music contributions). Not one of these women could be 'replaced' and retain the LOVEBITES experience. Asami and Miho write almost all lyrics and some music. Haruna and Midori have written lyrics and music. Miyako's 'band' would be instrumental only. Don't get me wrong. I love Miyako, recognize her significant contributions, none of which diminish the importance of the others' contributions. Unlikely that LOVEBITES would have any Thrash without Miho's songs.
@@dregeye that's thue
人間、神の臨在を感じさせるような超越を目の当たりにした時、人生や哲学を語り、感謝に身を委ねる。
Japanese women playing metal/hard rock? Yes!!!
I saw your reaction of Asterism's Dawn. Haruka is more than talented, she's gifted imho.
Here we have Lovebites, five women with talents and skills that fit perfectly together (they're really five of a kind).
Another female guitarist is Yuki. The name of her band is D_Drive, they play instrumental hard rock. Yuki and Seiji on guitars, Toshi on bass and Chiiko on drums.Try "D_Drive Unkind Rain, Studio MV".
Thanks for your support via your reactions.
excellent list you have there I especially like Yuki Unkind Rain I'm a sucker for an exceptionally well done blues tune
Four great musicians and a genius
Nemofila “Dessension” is a must. 2 fantastic guitar players. Great drums and bass. Outstanding vocalist. All girl band (super group) from Japan.
With her eyes closed!!
Those drums!
Thank you for your wonderful comments and reactions. I am very happy as a Japanese.
The vocalist ASAMI rehearsed MIYAKO's piano solo and Swan Song many times, saying that they were the best showcase of this live performance.😊
A great comment and an equally great video reaction and so I would also recommend to take a look at two other great all female japanese rock bands, Aldious and Mary's Blood, from Mary's Blood I recommend "Marionette" which is their workhorse, thanks .
Kelly Johnston of "Girls school" circa 1980 for me was the best female guitarist of that era but that is my opinion 😎!
They will be seen as an important part of music developement & history.
I would put Miyako against against any guitarist in the world today. She is easiest the best female guitarist in Japan today.
Midori was at NAMM in Anaheim janurary 2020 in the Kemper Amplification area playing, shredding. She is so very down to earth, humble , unassuming. She's just the more ouward, energetic of the guitarists. She is just so amazing. Playing there, with backing track of Miyakos guitar, bass and drums.
I think it’s safe to say that the women’s evaluation in music is growing like crazy and in a way is proof that as a father of girls there is nothing that they can’t do when they grow up and like LOVEBITES/BAND-MAID/ALDIOUS/MARY’S BLOOD/NEMOPHILA etc etc the future is theirs for the taking ps as a Canadian I’m very proud of UNLEASH THE ARCHERS (cuz they are 🇨🇦) I like the comparison you gave with LOVEBITES and the crissy teagan with talent 🤣🤣that is never gonna get old 🤟
surely LOVEBITES is the best female metal band in the world today...😍
without a doubt.
Great reaction dude, you point it right! Totally agreed with you! They are genuinely talented, playing with their souls!
You pointed out a great thing about the age that we live in. I'm in the 50's and used to listen to the female musicians in the 80's that you mentioned, so I totally understand what you're talking about. Thanks for providing a new perspective. Now I can appreciate the age we live in even more... THIS IS WHAT I LIKE ABOUT YOU! Your views are so unique. Thanks for being there! I'm enjoying new music I would have never encountered too!
The last piano solo always makes me cry
WOW!!!
Great reaction sir
Miyako is a genius at whatever instrument she touches.
Miyako is the masterpiece!!!🤘❤️🤘
What attracted me to Lovebites was how Midori and Miyako do their dueling solos in most of their songs because that was so different from the rhythm + lead configuration of most dual guitar bands. I felt like these girls were saying- “Hey, we don’t need an Alpha, we’re going to show you how awesome it is when equal talents work together!” . All of you who pick a favorite, don’t ruin that, these girls all have awesome talent- Miho, Haruna, Asami, Midori, Miyako together are much greater than they would be alone- this is the future, and yes- LOVE IT!!
14:58 And there is more to find!
I recommend another all female band (this time from Mexico)
Please check out Ruido Rosa. There song "MIEDO A CAER" may be a good start.
I think they act and sing and perform like LOVEBITES and don't sound like any other band.
I'd also say remember Vixen also Jan Kuehnemund was a goddess on guitar (R.I.P)
Excellent prologue my good man. I remember those earlier days of rock and totally agree with what you said. You're just scrathing the surface right now but when you learn of the myriad female musicians out there you will realize how those women you mentioned were a driving force for all the ones we enjoy listening to today.
Nemophlia, another all female band has 2 amazing guitarists. Props to Harana’s for being a pure beast of a drummer.
WORD! Totatally agree
There is one more J-rock group that deserves attention -Nemophila.
He definitely needs to see Saki - another ex-Destrose member.
Mary's blood way better tho Nemophila is just a project
@@Ratovx They're a band.
@@ChrisPage68 It's a super band. All members have another main band.
Japan has ALWAYS had great musicians. Not only Band Maid and Lovebites who are exceptional, but girl bands like Tangent, Scandal, Silent Siren, Cyntia and so many more. You don’t hear about these ladies because a lot of the focus is on gimmicky KPop which can’t touch the talent of the Japanese musicians and is based on plastic surgery and appropriation of Black American’s music(although they never acknowledge that).
Japan has a long history with great musicians male and female. The best selling band in Asia of all time is a Japanese boy band named Arashi, which means Storm. The Japanese mindset is: either give it 110% or don’t do it at all!
As we all know, Miyako isn't flashy on the outside, because she puts her flash and feel into the music that she's playing. This song says it all..
And anyone notice that she's playing Chopin, EYES CLOSED? As if she's just totally in that zone in the music? There are people out there who play Happy Birthday, let alone Smells Like Teen Spirit, eyes open, and she's throwing down Chopin like it's nothing, eyes closed.
I wanted to share the original video with some friends, but sadly the original video is no longer available "due to a copyright claim." :(
Yes, unfortunately, several other songs were taken down also:
"Rising" live Five of a Kind
"Dancing with the Devil" live Five of a Kind
"The Hammer of Wrath" live Five of a Kind
"Above the Black Sea" live
"Eagle Fly Free" studio live Awake Again
This song reminds me so much on Rainbow with Joe Lynn Turner.
I really liked your ending to this video. I agree that it is great to see these extremely talented women getting the respect they deserve and I agree that being awesome musicians is what's important not gender or nationality. Many people in the world agree. Unfortunately there are still some who don't get it.
Also remember that The Runaways (with Joan Jett and Lita Ford) blazed the trail for girls playing hard rock/metal music in the mid 70s and Fanny, an all female rock band in the early 70s.
I, too am glad that You Tube allows us to see great bands from anywhere in the world. I just recently discovered Band Maid and Love Bites too. I'm glad there is still kick ass rock'n'roll/metal to discover!
Miyako 💘
You are still missing out on Dollsboxxx, Aldious, Mary's Blood,Nemophila,Scandal etc. they are all Japanese girl group.
This is 'Lovebites'
They are real👍
Let's not forget miyako can also play the bass and play the drums.
Look no further than Nemophila for a all girl heavy, super heavy new band with twin guitarist that rivel love bites ,from japan all star cast , there not big like love bites yet they have a few songs out and some covers as well but you will be blown away just do it !. Start with Oiran in there practice room live before there music video Raitei then sorai live .
That was one big oyster why I was thinking muscle instead
Nice vid as always. The Crusade is pretty good too.
ショパン革命のエチュードどで始まってるのですね、知りませんでした。
And what do you think of the asterism guitarist, she is a true teacher in her few years.
It hurts that they are not seen much.
But wait...there are more Japanese all female metal bands.
Check out Mary"s Blood, Bridear, Nemophila, as well as bands with female lead vocalists, such as the great Unlucky Morpheus, Broken By The Scream...and more!
All female Japanese band Mary's Blood - Marionette. It will melt you into a puddle!
