Yes, Miyako plays drums decently, played brass and wind instruments as a kid, and laid down the bass tracks on the demos for the new album (before Fami formally joined). On "Phoenix", as part of her short-lived stint as one half of Sonic Lover Reckless", she recorded all three guitar lines as well as the bass line.

Lovebites is my favorite band (ever) for a multitude of reasons. Bottom line is there are 5 members who are elite level at what they do, and like you questioned, as far as I'm concerned I have NEVER witnessed a band in over 50 years of listening to metal that is chock full of such talent.

I put “little” because they aren’t lol! Also, this is the first time Haruna has had a mic and joins in the shout parts. You can often see her mouthing the song but not with her own dedicated mic, at least I’ve never seen one in any of the live performances. I also really like the harmonies in the chorus from Midori, Fami and Miyako. Asami has put a bit more edge and grit in her vocals for this song.

I have been saying this since 2017 when I first found Lovebites with their debut song Don't bite the Dust, that the complexity and prolific compositions are incomparable to many bands of today as well as many bands of the past. The engineering and technical abilities that they have created from incorporating and infusing so many styles and genres in the variations of songs as well as in one song.

It’s interesting that you think Miyako is the more technical guitarist. There’s an older interview with the ladies where Midori says she’s the more technical of the two. Of course, that was then, and they’ve both said that after the first album, they try to just play whatever rather than one being the technical guitarist and the other being the “feel” guitarist. And yes, Miyako can play drums. Fami can play guitar as well (check out her cover of “Don’t Say Lazy” on her channel), but I don’t think Haruna plays bass nor does Asami play guitar.

Lovebites is Japan's Metallica. They are just changing how we listen to and judge music.

Not the same without heels and wedding dresses...

Miyako Only plays real instruments On demo's. She doesn't feel it's right to play Computerized Programs On demo's. 'Doesn't feel it sounds real. She likes to keep it as realistic as possible..

Yes Fami

Miyako can play drums, but unlike the guitar and piano, her drum skills are very basic and rudimentary. There are vids of her playing drums, and she's by no means a virtuoso on them, lol! Average, at best, I would say. Not terrible, but nobody would sign her as a drummer. That's okay, though. She can't be god-level on every instrument she touches!

Lol give it time and I bet she becomes god like on drums too.

Well, this is definitely not Adam Ant. 😆

I'm tired of Miyako worshippers. As far as talented she is, she's nothing without the rest of the band, this is the alchemy that makes Lovebites so great and unusual. Those constant remarks about Miyako playing this and playing that are so disrespectful for the rest of the band.

Did you not watch Bob's analysis? He praises all of them and especially Haruna whom most gets overlooked. To be fair this is a Miyako composition so some worship is justified here.

Hi Boris, Oh man these ladies are all so talented. It's not just 1 player here who is the stud player. All 5 of these ladies are superstars and that is why this band is one of the best all around groups I have heard. period. Anyone who thinks this is a 1 woman show is not listening or watching.

Hi James and thanks! yeah Haruna is a beast back there and the things she does really lays a nice groove down for the rest of the band. But wow man all of these ladies are superstars.

I understand where you are coming from. When Miho left, Fami replaced her and the band is now at another level. However, I would argue that Miyako is irreplaceable. If she leaves, Lovebites will never be the same again, and they'll be significantly worse for it
