Hey guys!

The moment Miyako starts her solo, is the moment my tears start to rolle. In memory of my dear, deceased wife, who loved this kind of guitar playing.

Great reaction ! If you go back and listen to the song again, BOTH Midori and Miyako were on acoustic guitars right at the beginning. They weren't harmonizing but layered off each other, which sounded really beautiful. Miyako's instrumental progression - acoustic guitar --> piano --> electric guitar --> piano --> electric guitar. How can you not love this amazing lady ? And yes, Asami wrote the lyrics for this track.

The funny thing is that the Miyako you see on stage and the Miyako you see offstage are two entirely different people. When you see her in videos from her KZread channel, she is sweet, funny, expressive and unpretentious - a very warm accessible person. I think she is so focused on stage because she's a perfectionist. Midori only uses 1 or 2 guitars during a concert, whereas Miyako uses 6 or 7. She has said that she buys a guitar based on how it looks; she said that she has a wood grain fetish. Then she works on the electronics. She changes pickups, capacitors, etc. until that guitar has the exact sound that she wants for that particular one. She then chooses the guitar that she thinks will sound the best for each song. She will also never release a song she has written until it exactly fits her vision for it. We know she wrote "Soldier Stands Solitarily" for the "Glory, Glory to the World" EP," but wasn't happy with it. So during lockdown, she worked to improve it. She made it much faster and in a much higher key (that's why she apologized to Asami and Haruna in the video). She was happy with the result, so it was put on the new album. I wonder how many other songs she has that haven't yet achieved her high standards. On stage, she can look bored or withdrawn, but she has stated in the past that she is the happiest when she's on stage. I think she's so focused because, in her perfectionist mind, it would simply be a mortal sin to make a mistake. There are times when she's playing, especially when she's in her Gary Moore mode, that you can see her absolutely lost in the music. I think she feels the music down to her very soul. I have nothing but the utmost respect for her - not only for her technical skills, but her unwavering high standards and professionalism. (Sorry for the long post) :)

The song started out with both Midori and Miyako on the acoustic guitars

0ne of the 3 epic "E" songs ( Empty Daydream and Edge of the World ). Midori really shows that she so much more than a shred machine and Miyoka isn't the only one to make their instruments weep. That said, when Miyako jumps off the acoustic guitar to the piano and into her Gary Moore solo it just grabs your heart strings. She is self-taught and Gary was one of her big influences. Asami got to show off that gorgeous bluesy vocals. You get into a slow funk only to have that shaken loose with the usual LB presentation. Live there is nothing that these musicians can not play. 2024 is looking like the world tour that Covid derailed them from in 2020. European summer festivals even a stop in the US and hopefully South America. Can't wait to see who goes crazier at their shiws Brazil or Argentina!!! Great reaction as always. High expections with this band and yet they NEVER disappoint.

Both Miyako and Midori are on the acoustic guitar then Miyako jumps on the piano

Thats why averyone (for first timer) should watch or listen till the end, coz we don't know what magic they 'throw-in' in each of their songs. Yes, really power ballads, masterpiece, guitar cry, melodic. My eues going wet 🥹. Thanks guys for great comments

Great reaction, you have now done 2/3 of the "E" trilogy (Epilogue and Edge of the world). Only 1 left is my favorite song from them: Empty Daydream, I will link the live performance from 2019 in a reply so that it doesn't get deleted by KZread

At that time, asami was like an angel cheering everyone up and I cried so much.

That solo by Miyako gets me every time ...

Such a beautiful song! Asami is amazing here (she is amazing every song, of course). The emotion she conveys, and the power and depth in her deeper tones are impressive. What a singer! Nothing new here, but worth calling out. Miyako's solo was amazing too, as was Midori's end. They're all amazing. My favorite band. A really good one I recommend, especially after this one, is Empty Daydream

LOVEBITES is confirmed to perform at three international rock Festivals in 2024 :

This song was written by Asami with the help of Mao, who had supported them since the formation of LOVEBITES. Other works by Asami + Mao include "Frozen Serenade.

This song brings me to tears every single time. 💔

Hi Asaf and Itai! Your reactions are always really good!

M&M on their classical Martin guitars! 🤘💪

Just another day in the Reaction office - WAIT - It's Lovebites! This band is always great, but sometimes they just decide to hit you with the unexpected, and then Kick you when you're down. Great Reaction. Asami writes almost all of their lyrics, and I think it gives her performances just a little bit

Masterpiece!

🙌🙏Great reaction! Appreciative, and sensitive.
