This video, and all of the reaction videos on this channel, transform the original material from entertainment into a commentary, educational and/or opinion expressing video. The original content that is âreactedâ to is analyzed by professional commentators and podcasters, who use the performance to highlight instrumental technique and further discuss song structure etc. In addition, musical theory and style choices are also often analyzed and discussed.
While the video does use the entire song (as things such as instrumental performance and song structure must also be considered), there are many pauses. In addition, often the parts of the original content are played multiple times to examine a particular element of the song being reacted to. During pauses, reactors go into detail on the emotions that are invoked by the song or content, and why or why not they are good, or if theyâre particularly difficult. The pauses often last a long time, so much so that this video cannot be considered a replacement for the original material. A link to the original video is always placed in the about section, and viewers are encouraged to watch it without pauses and commentary.

I cannot vote for either band because I love both of them. 2 of my favorite songs also. They are both equal in my eyes. I have not watched the video yet, but I'm interested to see what y'all think of these 2 songs.

Then what the hell are you doing here? Either figure it out or get out. Nobody cares that youâre working on two fronts. Although, personally, I donât understand why someoneâs having trouble making choices. People with musical hearing choose Nemo, those with manure instead of brains, and ears atrophied of course choose Lowbites.
Only Lovebites pinned?
@@DragonPhlyy Just jerks decided to celebrate in advance. They really think that lowbites have some chance to win.
I'm sure you realize by now that you have a toxic troll in your comments section that has been banned/blocked from 17 other reaction channels (and counting) ? It's pretty obvious who it is.
Like this comment to vote for Nemophila
There is no competing with the wolfpack fans of Lovebites but still why is only the Lovebites comment pinned?
agree@@DragonPhlyy
@@DragonPhlyyunfortunately you can only pin one.
@@SuperMetalBrosPodcast Ah, thanks for that answer, as I told you to pin the one, I wasn't voting for...
I have an Idea for you! Pin a comment line "VOTE HERE" and give it two subcomments (for LOVEBITES and for Nemophila) to vote on!
The only change would be, that replies to both "hubs" would be in the same thread, but who cares! The first two replies would always be the important ones!
@@rainerzufall42 Amazing Idea. We will definitely do that on future videos. Thank you for the suggestion.
This post is meant specifically for Lovebites fans because of a trolling problem we have. However, Nemo fans are welcome to read this summary because this is the SAME troll that used several of his trolling accounts to masquerade as Lovebites fans to attack a nemo premier recently. In this reaction, he pretends to be a nemo "fan" with this specific trolling account (I shall just highlight the first 2 characters "@in..."). Note again, ALL the accounts are from the SAME troll.
Lovebites fans, the SAME troll that we know of is now in this comments section. No prizes for guessing who it is. Here is a quick current summary of this troll who possesses multiple trolling YT accounts (for those who are already familiar with this summary post, my latest update is in point (7) below) :
(1) He has so far been banned/blocked from 17 other reaction channels and counting for persistent trolling.
(2) He went to the LIVE premiers of both "M.D.O." and "We the United" to post horrible and libelous comments in the LIVE chat about the band. For example, he accused Asami of being an alcoholic.
(3) He has created AT LEAST 10 fake Lovebites accounts and used those accounts to post terrible comments in other bands' reactions/LIVE premiers while masquerading as "genuine Lovebites fans". His perverted goal is to create tension between the different fan communities.
(4) This SAME vile troll has created another (AT LEAST) 5 new fake Lovebites accounts recently and used those accounts to attack a Nemophila MV release "in the name of Lovebites". Again, this is designed to sow discord amongst the fanbases.
(5) He has created AT LEAST 3 fake BabyMetal accounts (2 of them not new to us) and posting "nice/positive" comments in their reactions so that he can claim that these accounts are "genuine BabyMetal fans", and then eventually use them to attack Lovebites or other bands' reactions/LIVE premiers. Again, the purpose of this vile troll is to create conflict between the different fanbases.
(6) Also recently, he even went to a Blackpink reaction using AT LEAST 3 fake Lovebites accounts to post his despicable nonsense. Again, the purpose is to create conflict between the fanbases of different bands/groups.
(7) This despicable troll is also trying to infiltrate the Wolfpack with some "new" trolling accounts that were created between 2020-2023, and some even older than 2020. I believe these "new" trolling accounts are meant to sow discord WITHIN the Lovebites community. Here are some of the reasons why :
(a) So far, these accounts have only posted a few "positive" comments here and there, so we should just let them be. But please be alert for any attitude/behavioral changes.
(b) Also, I have noticed some of these "new" trolling accounts that have been posting "positive" comments so far, have started to attack the reactors themselves, making the Wolfpack look bad in the eyes of the reactors. So watch out for this trolling tactic as well.
(c) Some of these "new" trolling accounts will eventually play "good cop"/"bad cop" and they'll "converse" among themselves to attempt to create further deception and chaos. For example, some will pretend to be "pro-Lovebites" or "pro-reactor", and others will pretend to be "anti-Lovebites" or "anti-reactor". This vile troll has tried to do something similar before, so be alert for this.
(i) One trolling permutation which has happened quite a lot recently is - the anti-Lovebites trolling YT accounts ("bad cops") will attack the reactors if the reaction is favorable to Lovebites, and they will praise the reactors if the reaction is not favaroble to Lovebites. The reverse is true for the pro-Lovebites trolling YT accounts ("good cops"). So reactors, please be aware of this happening in the comments sections of your reactions. Again, no prizes for guessing who the "bad cop" is in this comments section.
(d) This malicious troll will also use these "new" accounts to cause confusion and chaos by attempting to incriminate genuine Lovebites fans as "trolls". He has already tried this before, so also be aware of this and be on your guard.
(8) Will update the communities and the reactors when there is new info available.
Everyone, please be alert, note point (7)(c) in my summary. This is happening right now in this comments section
This band-vs-band stuff smells like clickbait. Obviously it worked. Three of Nemophila's members saw Lovebites' recent tour finale. The two bands' members have crossed paths in the past. Saki's previous band Mary's Blood shared the bill at club gigs with Miyako's previous Drop of Joker, Midori's previous Gekijo Metalicche, and Haruna's previous Destrose (I saw some of those shows live). Tamu's previous Soramimi played some shows on the bill with Haruna's Destrose. Hazuki's previous Disqualia were on the same bill at Lovebites' first live show (under that name) Nov. 2016 and a couple times in 2017 too. There are more examples.
Spot on !
Just say that you will feel uncomfortable when Nemophila wins. Your cultists are bad at such comparisons for one reason only. Lowbites will always lose.
@@ingopek5485 Currently Lovebites is winning by nearly twice as many votes? Seems a little early to declare Nemo winning.
I found this common contact:
Once upon a time, Saki and mi-ya (now Myako) almost played in one band together (an encore band composed of members of several bands playing at that concert). Saki played there with Re:MAKER, mi-ya with GoDeath. At the end, a band was assembled from musicians from different bands and they played an encore. From GoDeath they took mi-ya, and from Re:MAKER they took bassist Finn (a fantastic bassist) and a supporting vocalist (or vocalists). Or maybe they met at another concert?
@@musicaconqueror5477 I think Re:MAKER and GoDeath played two or three shows on the same bill, but if you're talking about one of the "women's bands" shows in March 2012, I saw those shows. It was the procedure to do a jam session at the end of the participating bands' sets, and each band would contribute a member or two and, yes, Fin played for Re:MAKER and mi-ya for GoDeath, the other guitarist was Erika from Yuka Mizukoshi's backing band. Several days later Destrose, with Miho and Haruna, and GoDeath, with mi-ya, were on the same bill-which is an example of the Lovebites' members meeting in pre-history-though Miho, Haruna,, and mi-ya didn't play in the jam.
My vote is for Lovebites
My No. 1 is Lovebites but I also like Nemophila so much. Fortunately both have different styles of metal. Music preferences is a very subjective matter and it depends on personal likes and dislikes.
You can paint "I'm a cultist and Lovebites is number one" on your forehead. Who cares what you think.

â@@ingopek5485 trash is always trash
LOVEBITES os the best
Lovebites, but i like both.
Easy. Lovebites of course đ€
Nemophila sounds more modern because they play and sound like trending metalcore bands though they tend to dissociate themselves from that lately (they're still experimenting. Last album is all over the place if you ask me). Just listen to one of their most famous song Oiran. Rythmics and dynamics are pretty close to BMTH's song Shadow Moses.
Also the fact that almost each member has its own hm/hr background is what makes Nemophila unique : Vocal Mayu is a hard rock Foo Fighter fan, guitarist Hazuki is a melo death metal Arch Enemy addict, guitarist Saki is a glam rock Sekishima II devout, bassist Haraguchi-san is a nu metal Slipknot maggot and drummer Tamu is a prog metal Dream Theater zealot.
On the other side, we have Lovebites and they play heavy metal in the purest form, at least for the non power metal parts because yes, they also play powerish songs. Their main power metal influence comes from legendary band Helloween, father of the modern power metal scene and Angra with famous singer Lucas Turili (Rhapsody of Fire) but I highly suspect they were also heavily influenced by 2010s power metal bands like Powerwolf or Sabaton because they tend to have that freaking and similar Deus Vult vibe. Because yes, their most famous song, Holy War, is a Deus Vult song! For the non initiated, a Deus Vult song is like being a holy crusader going into war against infidels, demons or Hell itself with the mighty trumpets of Heaven glorifying your epic charge.
Power metal aside, Lovebites is also a weird broth with RnB diva turned vocal rockstar Asami, guitarist and self learner Midori who has Children of Bodom in her top 5, guitarist and classical music trained Miyako who worships both Kirk Hammett and Gary Moore then lastly drummer Haruna and metalhead bassist Miho who both come from visual kei background as they were in the same band.
Lovebites is mainly a love letter to both thrash and nwobhm metal scene before anything else as they are known for being speedy as fuck, also being a driving band with literally only one single ballad in all their discography (And no, Edge of the world and Frozen serenade are too much prog metal to be called ballads. Let's not even mention Swan song which is speed metal as fuck).
Imo, I think that Nemophila has a better roster as I consider Murata Tamu the current best japanese female metal drummer (she basically has Haruna's footwork lvl + Junna's dexterity and creativity) and Saki as the current best female japanese metal guitarist (i must admit Asterism's guitarist Hal-ca is scary though as the new hope and rising star). Add vocalist Mayu whose voice is a one of its kind and you have an explosive band.
Lovebites though, i must admit, has better songs and that alone makes Lovebites ouclassing Nemophila (Nemophila's songs are great but most of them are just too simplistic and that doesn't make their banmates' talent truly shine unfortunately. Aside from Adabana, Tamu's drumming skills are barely noticeable if you ask me). Indeed, Miyako is a monster at music composition and Miho's sole existence is what made Lovebites one of the current best thrash metal bands out there (Miho wrote all thrashy songs before leaving Lovebites. Hammer of wrath, Break the wall, Thunder vengeance, Set the world on fire... You name it, she did it). Let Asami sings with them and you just have the current best japanese female metal band because her voice. Her fucking voice. If Mayu has a great voice, Asami is a living muse, period (she basically has better vocal training, better stamina, better vocal technique and she's fucking belting when she sings).
You think that Nemophila have better musicians than Lovebites? I don't think I would agree with that, though there obviously is a lot of talent in Nemophila, don't get me wrong.
@@cepho8349 âbetter musicians than Lovebites?â
He makes no proper comparisons; no attempt to weigh in on how Miyakoâs ability to compose music herself (like Solider Stands Solitarily and Dystopia Symphony) goes along with her ability to play both piano and guitar well. He would also need to account for the combined force of Midori and Miyako together (as the guitarists, harmonizing). But hey, he praises Lovebites for once having Miho (funny), who contributed to songs like Thunder Vengeance, which Mao also helped compose BTW (Miho cannot do it on her own), while Miyako helped on Break the Wall. As for the arrangements? Mao and Miyako again. If he likes Miho so much, why not blame Mao for MDO? As he helped with that as well, and it is one of their worst songs. As for him crediting Miho for Set the World on Fire. Just huh?
Just sharing my thoughts on it. I know, I can be harsh. đ
Seriously, Nemophila live is CRUSHED by Lovebites. As much as I love Mayu in studio, she has always a very difficult time live, and Saki often gets lazy on the solos. Lovebites is a killing machine live, and that what prevails.
From an instrumental perspective, Lovebites wins in a live vs live. My only issue would be that Asamiâs voice doesnât fit the musical style as well by a direct comparison between the two singers. Thatâs my preference, and Iâm saying this as someone who likes Lovebites way more.
Asamiâs vocals are available to absolutely every woman on earth. Sometimes it is difficult to understand what words she utters. It seems that she was born mute and only recently learned to talk, so she doesnât understand how vocal cords work.
@@ingopek5485 Sigue derramando tu odio inĂștil estimado TROLL!!!
That was true a couple years ago when Nemo was new to live shows. They are much tighter now and Mayu has improved a lot. I'd say they're a wash with Lovebites now.
Wolfpack here!! My vote for Lovebites!!đ€
Iâm late to this, so I donât know if itâs sill going on. Let me be honest and open in my personal opinion. I found and followed Lovebites before Nemophila, which makes sense as they are older as a band. The musicians are of similar age and actually friends. Regardless of either band, once you reach this level of talent, there is no winner, or looser. I absolutely adore both bands. So how is it even possible for me to compare the two? Well it comes down to preference in musical genres and diversity. Based solely on that aspect, I would give a razors edge to Nemophila. However, Miyako is actually my favorite musician, so again difficult. Love both, bands, but itâs Nemophila for me.
It is insane you can pick up guitar mistakes with them playing that fast. I don't doubt you. I am in awe. Lol. But maybe that's why I can't play any instrument.
You missed some points for LOVEBITES - let me help you:
* Point for Miyako smiling
* Point for Midori's muscles
* Point for Haruna being so cute
* Point for Fami's slapping
* Point for Asami's jewelllery
I've never seen Miyako smile. Smiling means joy, but she can't do that. All she does is walk around the stage with an important look and look at the audience with disdain.
Asami's jewelry is cheap costume jewelry. Fake like her vocals.

"WE ARE BAAAAACK !!!" (Asami)
This was the first song of the first concert with audience after almost 2 years hiatus (due to Covid-19 and the departure of band leader and bassist Miho), and the first ever with new bassist Fami (selected with an audition with hundreds of competitors). The addition of Fami gave new energy and enthusiasm for this double concert last March...
When will you stop parasitizing on such messages. You can think that someone cares.
"WE ARE BAAAAACK !!!" This vile cry is well remembered by all. More like the cry of a wounded hyena than a human voice.
Nemophila is great but Lovebites is better!
Perhaps they are better at choosing shampoo, watering plants, washing dishes, but in music they are so far from Nemophila

Final song "Set the world on fire" from Lovebites!!!!
To the super metal bros, out side of ingopek, the troll, or otherwise ingo the pecker head, for what this video/contest is, the comment section has been very calm and respectful, outside of him, there has been little to no issues and i think that says a lot about these 2 fans bases, whether you are into both bands or only one, this went very well, i don't know if you are the type to ban him or not, i think you should, but it's up to you, it's your channel, either way everyone seemed to ignore the creep, and i reported every post..

đ€đ€đ€đžđșđ„đ„đ„
sorry, I don't like the screaming technique in metal songs so I chose lovebites!
I would enjoy Nemophila so much more without her screams.
Nemophila is a great band, but lovebites is on another level, it is almost metal perfection, and Asami doesn't need growl or scream, although on some occasions she makes small touches of them, many say that she is the female version of Bruce Dickinson. Mayu is a great vocalist and I think that if she is not the best at screaming, she must be among the best in the world.
I Love NEMOPILAđ«¶đđ
I like nemophila a lot, but itÂŽs undoubtely lovebites for me.
Only Lovebites!!!!!!Godeness metall!!!
Nemophila is my favorite band. I respect Lovebites, but power metal is one of my least favorite genres of music even though I love metal in general.
Power Metal is a great genre, but Lowbites have nothing to do with it. Lowbites - 'itâs meme-pop-crap metal
â@@ingopek5485 trash comment is always trash
LOVEBITESđșđșđș
of course I voted LOVEBITES because it is the best band on the planet đ but I feel sorry for Nemophila they are my second favorite band
LOVEBITES FOREVER
Not heard much Nymph before, but I enjoy their music here. Never been a fan of that screeching, though so Lovebites wins automatically just because of that. That and I have not ever heard a Lovebites song I never liked.
I prefer big growls rather than screeching scream.
I learn fry and growls, but screeching is my least fave technique.
I think it has not enough power to deliever the lyrics, especially the meaningful one.
I became acquainted with the work of LoveBites and Nemophila at about the same time, a few months ago.T My sympathies between these two bands are in the ratio of = 90% (LoveBites) : 10% (Nemophila). I believe that LoveBites is a phenomenon in the world of heavy music! The individual talent, technical skills and professionalism of all band members are at the highest level! These are all complemented by excellent lyrics and great melodies ( the songs) that LoveBites create! Brunette-guitarist Miyako, who wrote approximately 50% of all LoveBites' music, is one of the best composers of our time. Nowadays, it is not enough for musicians to have only excellent individual technique. In order for a band to create something outstanding, it is necessary that the excellent techniques, professional skills and abilities of each band member be harmoniously combined with each other and complement each other. Then what is called the âsynergy effectâ occurs. The individual qualities of each band member are combined together and are transformed into the collective result of the band. LoveBites was able to achieve some stunning results. The studio albums, EPs, MVs, Blue-rays of LoveBites' live shows are great. In fact, today we have a unique band that stands out from the many excellent Japanese metal bands with its sound, its music, and its professionalism! LoveBites is the best Japanese band in the genre of heavy music (hard & heavy) today. LoveBites is one of the best heavy bands in the world! This my opinion. And the world of heavy music (primarily Europe and America) in the next 2- 3 years will have to admit it! That's why I give my vote for LoveBites!
Donkey, you need to express your opinion briefly, not go into the details of your experience with bands. Brevity - the sister of talent. And donât go too far with the sycophantic, the more you praise Lowbites, the more obvious it becomes that youâre an undercover troll.
I'll clarify and compare it to Mary's Blood (MB was much closer to LB).
Miyako wrote more about 42%. Mao has been involved in composing their materials from the very beginning (he co-composed 45% and composed 13% solo). LB - 61 pieces, 25.5 Miyako, 8 Mao, 27.5 Mao + (usually Miho).
Mary's Blood: 77 pieces. Saki - 51% (39.5 pieces). The remaining 49% is the rest of the band (mostly Eye). And Mao? He showed up too! He played keyboards (he played brilliantly) in Black â Cat (first album). MB did not use external composers. I admire and like Miyako a lot (even more than Lovebites), but (along with Kanami) they are in second place. Saki is the empress.
If you omit the moment with your love for Miyako, in principle I agree with you. And the title for Saki you chose suitable for her status.
I completely agree with what you wrote.đ€đ I heard LOVEBITES for the first time 3.5 years ago and I think they are a phenomenal band. Miyako's talent as a composer can be compared to that of Wolfang Amadeus Mozart. Miyako is the Mozart of the 21st century!
How can such absurd thoughts even arise? With whom did you decide to compare this musically poor creature? Have you lost your mind? What's next? Will you say that Maria Callas is untalented compared to Asami?
I love both bands đđ€đ€đŻđ”
With all due respect to the ladies of NEMOPHILA, I vote for LOVEBITES.

@@tttrip Do you mean that many viewers like both bands? Maybe you're right. I like many Japanese bands. But I voted for LOVEBITES because this band is #1 on my list of favorite bands.đ€
@@GrayFox14ă
I'm into bands that write their own songs so I have to go with Lovebites on this one.
Writing their own songs? Are you talking about the main plagiarists in Japan? Lowbites are stealing all the ideas for their songs from more successful bands.
Kensuke Akiyama is similar to Mao for Lovebites. Sure there have been a few songs with other outside writers (odyssey) but Kensuke and/or the band members have written most of the songs
You mean stolen or plagiarized. Do not hesitate to tell the truth. The power of the true word does not tolerate the shackles of falsehood.
@jessecatron8225 Akiyama is credited for writing the music for 75% of this album and I have read that they have an outside songwriting team that the band works with. All this seems a little excessive for a so called "Supergroup" Don't you think?
I think you fell on your head too much as a kid, and thatâs why youâve become such a fool.
âšLOVEBITESâš is the BESTâŒïž đ«”đ
Lovebites more and more metal progress
Next LOVEBITES reaction should be to their song "A Frozen Serenade" - not as heavy, but the live performance is a must see with the additional visual elements they added to it. Fans consider it an epic masterpiece. You'll see. Here is the link to the correct video: czcams.com/video/Ae8pQVu-RN8/video.html
I agree. That song is a masterpiece.

Thatâs right. Itâs like choosing the woman you love the most. And youâre just trying to please the cultists of Lowbites, because you donât have the guts to say that Nemophila is a metal Colossus of Rhodes, and lowbites is Augean stables, where Heracles has not had time to clean.

đ€đœLovebites rulesđ€đœ
in my opinion Lovebites is much more interesting and varied. đ€ Lovebites !!!đđ
Lovebites is better, but definitely not a more varied band.
@@SomethingToDo360
the music of Lovebites is varied and includes hard rock, progressive, speed, neoclassical, power, thrash, symphonic metal. Lovebites often use piano parts in their songs. which is rare for metal. the piano blends harmoniously with the band's metal sound. and greatly enriches the music of Lovebites. just like the keyboards the band uses.
@@pilgrim000 âthe music of Lovebites is variedâ
Depends on the criteria youâre using, and whether you are implying that they are more varied than Nemophila, which would be a ridiculous comment to make. As for my perspective, I would say that Lovebites doesnât just have a perceived lack of deviation from the continuous uptempo drumming on the Judgement Day album, but also didnât have anything quite like A Frozen Serenade on that album. Although Soldier Stands Solitarily is my favorite Lovebites song, I do have issues with the Judgement Day album as a whole. I also think you would do better to say that Lovebites is varied enough for you, rather than saying itâs more varied than Nemophila. I mean Lovebites can likely win in many categories, but that is not one I would give.
â@@SomethingToDo360it is your opinion. i expressed my opinion and i am not alone in this. the more i listen to Nemophila and the more i listen to Lovebites, the more i am convinced that the music of Lovebites is much more diverse and richer than Nemophilaâs music. Nemophila is a good band, with very technical musicians, but their music is monotonous. Lovebites are on another level. and i explained why i think so. you can remain your own opinion. i respect your opinion. let each of us remain with his own opinion.
ââ@@pilgrim000 I heard first 2 popular music from Lovebites, but they sounds the same, even on this one.
Should I listen 5 more to able to tell they're varied?
That's sound the opposite of "very varied".
Nemophila live is better than the MV
This was a kind of fun format. And you obviously do not take the points all that seriously. And Nemophila won! Yeah, Adabana is a very good song. And that music video is top notch. Adabana is one of those songs that do grow on me. As your analysis shows, it is quite complex and has several very cool parts and transitions. It is definitely prog. So, I started with thinking it was kind of cute and nice and now, after listening to it some times, it is actually one of my favorites. One that you do not get tired of.
nemophila all day every day
In my personal collection, I have Lovebites first Nemo 2nd. I love both bands and have collected music/Merch from each band.
It's hard to compare the 2 in anyway since they really sound so different. Nemo made one hell of a song that really sounds good and i listened to it a lot when they released it. I probably listened to more Nemo during march 2022 - may 2022, but after that I shifted more and more to Lovebites as they became my main band and stayed there prominently since then. As hard as it is to vote against Nemophila, I had to pick #Lovebites.
I still don't really get the competitively comparing apples and oranges thing. There is no competition between these two excellent, very different bands.
Mayu from Nemophila and Miyako from Lovebites have been fishing together. Nemo members have been to Lovebites gigs. They've all posed for pics together. These Japanese, all-woman bands are supportive of each other, not rivals.
Are you kidding me? Only the lazy one didnât remember this fishing story. You think it's like a blood oath? Maybe after a fishing trip, people become closer than relatives?
@@ingopek5485 Shush. You're making noise again.
They are both great bands and I'm a fan of them both, but LOVEBITES slightly superior musicianship makes them my #1. I'll also add that LOVEBITES have about 60 original songs, some of which are legitimate masterpieces. I think two or three of their songs would not look out of place on a list of the best 100 metal songs ever written. Nemophila have far fewer original songs (they have been mostly a cover band), and even though they have some really good songs, in my opinion they don't have even a single song that could reasonably be called a masterpiece.
But let me repeat, they are both great bands and I'm a fan of the both.
Nemophila!!!
Lovebites! đșđșđșđșđșđȘđ€đ€đ€đ€
Both are my favorite bands, and both are top notch talented bands. Lovebitesâ style is more traditional power metal and thrash metal, while Nemophilaâs style is very varied. They always have 6, 7 different genres of music in one album. Anyway, I recommend ăOirană live (recent one) as the next one.
Donât try to kiss two asses at the same time! Youâre afraid that your words might seem offensive to someone? Donât care about any assholes. Nemophila at a completely different level of development, they are unique, they are universal, they are unique. Lowbites are also unique, but this is negative uniqueness.
5485 the number of the beast who hides under the bridge, but anyone who knows and appreciates real music will see through it. Nemophila are without a doubt top level musicians and Mayu's unique vocals are awesome, but #LOVEBITES are, imo, a level above another level, you should delve into their catalogue and you'll understand what makes them stand out, yes they project a heavy 80s style, but they do so much more, slow and melodic ballads, (check out the 'e' songs), and cover the whole genre of heavy metal right through to thrash, and excel in all with more masterpieces than any other band ever. My vote is đŻ lovebites đ„đ€đ€đčđ„đžđș
Look how clever you are. He seemed to praise Nemophila, but immediately made an adjustment that compared to the level of Lowbites their level is not worth a broken cent. You just veiled insulting Nemophila and their sad and miserable fan community. Itâs not pretty!
You are, he seems, that makes a lot of sense to nobody, are you talking to him or me or just to yourself? I think it's obvious, that because you portray such hatred for something that's obviously so good, you are really in love with them, you seem to pop up a lot, probably just to hear đ. As for me, I think nemophila are awesome, but my favourite are #LOVEBITES hope to hear from you soon đ€
Enjoyed the reaction. I'm glad I'm not judging. I love both bands equally, though "Adabana" is my favorite Nemophila song. Hammer of Wrath is great, but not quite my favorite Lovebites. Guitarist note: The Ibanez Nemophila's Hazuki is playing is a J.Custom RG8527. Just throwing it out there because I have the 6-string version of the same model (RG8520)
It would be more correct to call what is happening a competition of songs rather than bands. But comparing Lovebites with Nemophila in a broader aspect also makes sense. I pay tribute to the technical skills of the Nemophila participants, but I think Lovebites wins in all possible positions. Lovebites' music is refined neoclassical metal, it does not have the pop elements that are present in Nemophila's music. Just as Band-Maid is a pop rock band, so Nemophila is a pop metal band.
About diversity. In my opinion, Lovebites perform music as diverse as possible. They are one of those rare bands that you can listen to endlessly without feeling an urgent need to listen to anything else. If any band from Japan becomes a legendary world band, it will be Lovebites. Moreover, I think they have already become such a group. Widespread acceptance of this is just a matter of time.
Even the story of the creation of Lovebites is a classic story of the creation of a band from below, by the musicians themselves, who write music, lyrics and make arrangements themselves. Lovebites is a real metal band by all criteria. Their success is entirely due to these wonderful women.
There are so many things that could be said for why Lovebites is better than Nemophila, and I would likely agree with much of it, but diversity is definitely NOT it.
Lovebites is diverse, but Nemophila is more diverse. I still prefer Lovebites overall though.@@SomethingToDo360
I agree with you. The music of LOVEBITES is more diverse.
There is as much diversity in them as there is meaning in your words - Zero! You are simply singing along with your cultist friend. And when will you learn to pronounce the band name correctly? It's lowbites, not lovebites.
@@GrayFox14 Name a few things you like better about Nemophila. Hopefully, you will know why Iâm asking you this.
Came to listen to all these lovely, talented ladies, staying for the comments!đđ Comparing them is a wash to me, they are both excellent in there own ways. They are they only bands out of Japan that I listen to on a regular basis. If your going on which song, Adabana is just a brilliant piece of Music.
I'm curious if you've listen to Hanabie and if so, what do you think of them?
@@1970Phoenix Yes I seen them in concert with my son he is a big fan. They are very entertaining and energetic. They just don't appeal to me like LOVEBITES and NEMOPHILA. I like a Metal band to have dual lead guitarists and powerful singing front man or Woman. But I do believe that Hanabie has a good chance of being more popular overall. đ€đ€
LOVEBITESăHoly War '20ălive czcams.com/video/bgAxpEpEcno/video.html (#1 for reactions)
I love both these bands. I have heard both songs many times. I wish you didn't put me in the position to choose between them. But, I will choose Nemophila for two reasons. I've seen them live and they killed it, and "Adabana" is the best song I've heard in maybe 20 years.
Why does music have to be a contest.? It just creates idiotic comments. Can't we just like both?
Nemophila is best out of Japan đŻ
Nemophila rules!!!! Lowbites sucks. I know that many think the same, but are afraid to speak openly. But donât worry. Iâll say it for you.
I am a fan of both Lovebites and Nemophila. I have seen Nemophila live and they put on a fantastic show. I will be seeing Lovebites live in September at their US debut in Atlanta. I think Mayu of Nemophila is the better all around rock/metal vocalist because her natural raspy voice and her harsh vocals. Asami, however, is the perfect voice for the old school metal that Lovebites plays. I was in my 20s during the 1980's and my favorite all-time metal band is Iron Maiden (who I will also be seeing live later this year), so I really enjoy the Lovebites style of music. As far as musicianship, I think the drummers, Haruna and Tamu, are about even. I also think that Midori and Miyako of Lovebites are two of the best guitarists in the world and I am not sure any two guitarists in the world can touch them when it comes to harmonizing. Hazuki and Saki are great guitarists but not at that rarified level. Fami is a better bassist than Haraguchi, but Haraguchi is the best composer in Nemophila, so I consider the bassists to be even. My biggest disappointment with Nemophila is that they still do not compose most of their music. I am not sure how much creative control the members of Nemophila actually have. Lovebites, on the other hand, seem to have full creative control, especially Miyako who, with just a few exceptions, composes alone. She is also a generational talent, both in her musicianship (guitar and piano) and her songwriting. Lovebites is the best band in this "competition" and I wish they were meeting Nemophila in the final, because that is where they both belong.
About Mayu's voice. I've said this all along but you could really tell when Nemophila was covering the heavier bands (Pantera, Metallica etc.) That even though Mayu can scream and has rasp for days, she has no power in her voice, it's really thin sounding. I never expected her to sound like Phil or Het but I also didn't expect her to sound like a little kid trying to sing either.
Well said.
Those are good points.@@guitarzen5999
@@guitarzen5999 I totally disagree. I doubt there are many female vocalists that could get close to the grit of Phil Anselmo but Mayu did a helluva job because of her natural grit. Does she have the power of Asami? No, because Asami is a world-class belter but, at the same time, Asami does not have the voice to pull off a Pantera song like Walk. As far as Master of Puppets, Hetfield's vocals are the least impressive thing about that song. Mayu sounded like Mayu which means she sounded damn good. Mayu sounds like a woman with one of the best female rock rasps in the business. Claiming she sounds "like a little kid trying to sing" is just plain BS.
@@guitarzen5999 dude did you give those covers a listen, i have to tell you, of the 200 covers they have done, i doubt i have listened to 2 total minutes. to be honest i have ZERO interest in any of them. but i will say, when i was giving the 1st CD a chance, it took a few times for me to be ok with the harsh vocals, but then i played the cd a few months later and i did notice how bright Mayu's voice was, it almost sounded like Miku kabuto's, and i was not expecting that. it had a cute sound
Horrible idea this comparing đ Worst ever
Next song from Lovebites.. try they song "Set the world on fire"đ„đ€
I'm more with ChadTheDragonLord "A Frozen Serenade". Alternatively "Edge Of The World" or even "Swan Song" (2020)...
More Thrash from the ladies works for me.
@@guitarzen5999 LOL! Any song could do, I want them all!

Several songs Nemophila Less for me.. For Lovebites, I like all the songsâ€
I think if the suggested song was Set the world on fire LOVEBITES will get more point because that song have all of metal music elements
Don't get me wrong the hammer of wrath was a great suggestion but imo set the world on fire is a perfect suggestion for a metal head
I just had doubts, because HOW is a relatively short song, it just flies by, and there's no weighing factor yet. Everyone's showing their stuff, and then the song is over... From the STWOF direction, I'd also probably prefer "Break The Wall", but still... Hammer is probably okay...
đđThis is easy. I chose both!!đđ đâ€
Oh and the guitar riff that bent your brains works in some echoes of the Peter Gunn theme.
Nemo all day
Love both Nemo and LB. But no japan competition is complete without maximum the hormone. Those groups probably wouldnt exist without them
This whole debate is inane, may as well have people fight over âWho is better: Yngwie Malmsteen or Deftones?â
Why even compare Lovebites & Nemophila? Theyâre both all-female and all Japanese, and aside from being loosely related in the overarching Rock genre, thatâs pretty much all there is to it.
Anyway, I clicked and I commented, so I guess I still lost.
Then why did you write this pointless rant? For whom did you cast your vote? Speak immediately and do not try to hide the truth. Remember my judgment is harsh but fair.
@@ingopek5485 this comment reminds me of those dorks who spend hours online trying to get people to fight about Xbox and PlayStation. Weird stuff!
Why argue about such minor things. Everyone knows that the PC is the choice of monarchs.
Nonsense. Such confrontations mean nothing.
I votes for both bands because they are both good, but they are quite different. I like diversity and I'm not so keen about being forced to compare apples and oranges.
Nemophila the best
Live Nemophila!!!
Super Metal Bros. Podcast, could you please remove that Mega troll from the comment section? He always tries to sow toxic discussions in Japanese music comments!
For this task, he uses multiple schizophrenic Avatars and starts discussions with himself. Could only identify one instance of him until now, mostly it's 4 or more...

Nemophila will leave no chance for worthless lowbites.
I love nimophila
Studio vs. Live...boo! Though I don't think it would matter between these two fan bases anyways! Lol
Well, your point system is messed upđ . No way Nemophila > Lovebites. They are original, they are fast and technical, they are simply better to my ears. It's all a matter of personal taste though đ€.
So his point system is not messed up, you just said it's personal taste right? Lolđ
â@@AngelLWJYeah, pretty much đ€·ââïžđ .
Itâs all subjective and for fun. Thereâs no way to objectively say a band, song etc is better than another. We enjoy all these bands and we are having a great time discovering all the bands in the tournament for the first time.
@@SuperMetalBrosPodcast Actually, that is not entirely true, as you only need to set the criteria of the measure. For example: one could rate technical proficiency of the instrumentals based on one side being incapable of playing the same thing as the other side. If one cannot, it is clearly wrong to say that is merely a subjective evaluation. I think if you went into these comparisons and did live vs live with less subjectively, like by rating technical or singing proficiency, and you had the understanding to do so, it is clearly not the same thing as what you do here. For what you do here, is far more emotional by comparison. I do think Lovebites should focus more on catchy choruses, and trying to win people over in a more emotional way too, and perhaps they lack a bit in that area. At times they seem to sacrifice what could make for a better song, to make a more technical one.
You see a system in this? Well, lucky for you.
Y'all missed out not watching any number of Nemophila live videos. You think they're good in the music video, the live stuff is another level. I really enjoy Lovebites a lot but general preference if I have to pick I'm going to listen to Nemophila.
Why are you so hesitant about speaking up? and donât hold back! Insulting lowbites and wolfpack is the greatest of virtues. If you are a true fan of Nemo, you must trample into the mud Lowbites along with their admirers. Gain courage, shaking creature. Do not disgrace the fan community of Nemophila.
@@ingopek5485 It's not that serious my guy.
In a live vs live, the instrumental advantage will go to Lovebites. I mean even if you donât prefer them, they have the edge in the highly technical stuff when live. Itâs what they do. Having said that, I prefer the singer in Nemophila more than in Lovebites. Pros and cons I suppose.
Just so you know, Saki and Hazuki will demolish Midori and Miyako. Technical superiority on the side of Nemophila.
@@ingopek5485 I wish you werenât a troll, because I think honest criticism can be constructive. Your criticisms however, are beyond ridiculous. Although at times you make me laugh. I think it was about Midori forgetting her notes again, because of some expression on her face... đ
I love them both and they are friends so why stage a battle between them ? they are completely different styles and all of them are fantastic musicians . they deserve separate videos not this hey who is better shtick . fans of Nemophila will of course say Nemophila and the Wolfpack will just say LOVEBITES so no surprise what is the real point to this guys ? maybe I am missing something here.
100% agree !
I think so too
I think they just want to get more views
Well said
Iâm different. I actually wish more comparisons like this existed on CZcams, as it can be interesting to read the different opinions, but the fanbases are too sensitive for this stuff. To be honest, this is far more interesting to me than watching another fake reaction of someone pretending to like your preferred band, simply for more clicks and views. They make thumbnails with shocked faces, and just want to tell you whatever you want to hear. It gets old.
@@SomethingToDo360 if it was like a high school battle of the bands where the bands signed up for it then yes I would agree but this format depends entirely on which bands fan base sees this vid and votes in greater numbers not the actual merits of either band
A Nemo fan might know that she is a rather new mom AND some might even know that hair dye is a no no for pregnant women.
They all same for me..always on the top ladys band in japan...
