- This premiered today, but I missed it!
Anyway, here is my reaction to it! Honestly, I was made aware of it after I did my running around this morning. I thought I would get ahead of the livestream tonight and get it done!
Another great song and Fami's playing is just polishing the already brilliant sound of @LOVEBITES_jp

![Rock Musician Reacts to LOVEBITES / Soul Defender [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/6LM7m3hAWeQ/mqdefault.jpg)
Ryan, it's the SAME troll we have been discussing. He also impersonated Wave, Old Mr B and at least one other established reactor in the LIVE chat. Anyway, back to the song. This track is an innovative blend of speed-power/thrash metal. Really looking forward to the release of the new EP.
Is this trolling specific to Lovebites ? I follow many j-metal bands and I feel it is Lovebites specific.
@@stephaneg.7373 In addition to Lovebites, this individual toxic troll with many trolling accounts (including the impersonation of genuine fans, reactors and even band members) has gone into the LIVE premiers of Band-Maid, Nemophila, Rolling Quartz, Hagane, and several other bands to flood the LIVE chats and comments sections with vile comments. His sole purpose is to try to create friction and tension between the different fanbases.
You are so right about Fami. If you pay attention her base line is great through out the whole song
You've been giving great reviews not only to Lovebites but to all the good bands. We all know what you are. You are a great reviewer.
Thank you, I appreciate that :)
LOVEBITES - Soul Defender lyrics:
The horses running fast
Through the battlefields
It is much faster than light
The forces going fast
With the metal shields
Keep going, ride into the night
Never to be broken Justice
Justice
Overcome your greatest Crisis
Crisis
Don't be afraid to be someone who defends yourself
HERO!
Remember Defender
Fighting back for your soul inside
Remember Forever
You are the one
Remember Defender
Beating down enemies within
Remember Forever
Stand Up and Shout
Forging your sword and shield
Live as Soul Defender
Riding on the path
with a wounded soul
Keep going, ride into the night
Don't give in to a nasty master
Master
Defeat your cold-blooded monster
Monster
Be afraid to be someone else who deceives yourself
EVIL!
Surrender Deceiver
Living somewhere dark inside
Surrender Forever
You were the damned
Surrender Deceiver
Turning into a dust within
Surrender Forever
You're Purified
Forging your sword and shield
Live as Soul Defender
Twin Solo: midori & miyako
Never to be broken Justice
Justice
Overcome your greatest Crisis
Crisis
Don't be afraid to be someone who defends yourself
HERO!
Remember Defender
Fighting back for your soul inside
Remember Forever
You are the one
Remember Defender
Beating down enemies within
Remember Forever
Stand Up and Shout
Forging your sword and shield
Live as Soul Defender

Saw them in Europe and waiting again for them in LA.
good job ryan. wave had the same problem.
It's amazing remembering that base line is being played by the 21 year old new member. She really did just fit right in.
What a banger of a song!! Hoping they play this in 3 weeks up in LA. 🤘🤞
Thanks for reacting to new LOVEBITES! This song is a banger, crank it to 11 and rock out!🤘🐺🤘
Finally Fami's headless base!
Great reaction Ryan. Believe it or not I’m infamous enough to have been impersonated by the troll, so I no longer frequent live chat streams. This song has actually been described by some as “Lightweight and commercial”. Seriously?
Loved this.. when the lyrics can speak to my faith and the music and passion of their performance..what that connects.. wow. Thanks for sharing 🥰
ナイスリアクションありがとう！👍LOVEBITES最高！🔥🐺SSSのリアクションもやってほしい
The best metal band ever
Really enjoyed this one, love the pace and flawless transitions! Hell yeah! 🤘
Very solid song and solid reaction. Are you going to Dallas for their show?
Midori💚💚💚💚💚 welcome back ryan!!! I like this better than unchained
Thanks for checking it out Ryan. You are onto something. As spectacular and M&M are, I have long felt that Haruna is the band's secret weapon. She would elevate any band she played in, and just happens to be in a band with four other insanely gifted musicians.
This is a great song. I think I like it more than Unchained, even, though that one's a bit more complex.
Same here
⚔️🤟🏻🛡️🐺🛡️🤘🏻⚔️
TEMAZO‼️
so far the first two releases have only harmonizing guitar solos!! which is fine.
Ryan, always love your reviews. Here's mine on this one. I watched the video once, then just listened to the audio. My opinion, this song is more enjoyable without the video. Listen, don't watch, and I think you'll agree. Cheers!
I think I appreciated it a little more when just listening also👍
I'm glad you said that about Fami, Miho is a fantastic bassist but it seems like Fami has a lot more skills not saying that Miho couldn`t play that way. It seems like Fami put them on a higher level I`m seeing them in Dallas can`t wait Lovebites!!!! 🤩🤘🐺🔥🎤🎸🎸🎸🥁
🤘🏼🎸🥁🎤🐺❤️🔥🇯🇵🇮🇹
Something was bothering me about this song and I finally put my finger on it: it sounds much like East Of Eden! But with aggressive guitars instead of violin. The vocal melody could be sung by Akane (the EOE Akane of course 😉). So I looked at the credits and yes: it's a Mao/Asami song. Mao is presently composing for East Of Eden (yes, I know he has been Lovebites collaborator nearly since day one) and maybe his style isn't varied enough between both bands? Anyway, I like (not love) this song EDIT: after a few listen, I love it ...
Some of my favorite songs are Mao/Miho or Mao/Asami, he is fantastic. He was also on 8/10 of the Lonesome Blue "second to none" songs
@@RichZee777 yes, I often love Mao's work ( for Lovebites, for Lonesome_blue - where Asami helped too - and for EOE). But here, to my ears, it sounds a little as if it was a song written for EOE and finally arranged for Lovebites - melodically.
@@realdocloco After reading the new interview, It sounds like this song was more asami than it was Mao, she described coming up with the main riff and then changing it many times to make it work with the idea behind the song, describing the whole time she was working in the chorus to match the lyrics she wanted, which to her defines how she feels about herself, so the lyrics are about her, and she worked with Mao, who is often part of the production, but they don't really go into detail on how much he does, other than how they initially described it by stating that they listen to him and his suggestions, but they make the ultimate decision. I think Mao is a very important part of their creative process either way.
They go into great detail about many things in this new interview.
@@RichZee777 Yes, great interview, I love when bands goes into such creation and production details in interview 👍. To the Budokan!
Reporting the troll is important, but Ryan, you can just block him from your channel. Obviously many trolls have multiple accounts, but you can block them faster than he can make new ones.
I block them everytime, but there are dozens. NOW he is impersonating me (and others) on other channels....I can't stop that
@@RyanMear Yeah - he's a total dickhead that guy. The good news is that he doesn't seem to show up on channels who have been banning his accounts, so he's slowly starting to give up.
ARIGATO for your comment. There are the other japanese bands. Please eatch the next songs
{VENGEANCE} by ArkRoyal, {TENKA GOKEN} by HAGANE
My channel is LOADED with Japanese bands!
Soul defender is a little bit SABATON-ish style... Otherwise totaly awesome.
React to Hagane's Herotime (live version).
I would prefer Lovebites with Haruna former band mate Marina but Asami is good.
@exploringthemusicalumiverse. Each to their own when it comes to one's preference of vocalists. If you want to listen to Marina, be sure to check out her band Mardelas, and if you like what you hear, show them some love by hitting the 👍and subscribe button on their CZcams channel. Asami is just fine where she is in Lovebites.
Marina has her own band, so go listen to Mardelas, if you want to hear her. Strange comment.
@cepho8349 Strange comment? I don't think so. The guy either has or hasn't listened to Mardelas. Was merely a suggestion on my part.
Lovebites without Asami The One And Only Voice 😂😂😂.
This video just appeared at the tail end of Lovebites' recent livestream for those of us who were present to witness the premiere of the Memorial for the Warriors Souls performance in full Ryan, complete with trolls polluting the live chat with their brand of stink🦨💩
