Grace to my heart, HARUNA !!!

They are LOVEBITES. And they play..... HEAVY METAL! ( We are the wolfpack. And we are united for our metal princesses! )

The guy in the video represents humanity struggling with the recent troubles and the song is intended to encourage us to lift ourselves through "learning to love yourself, it is the greatest love of all" to bring us all to a healthier place on Earth. Miyako, Dean "V" guitarist, is also the keyboardist. Blond guitarist Midori wrote this music with friend-of-LOVEBITES Mao. Asami wrote the lyrics to suit Midori's message. Part of the chorus lyrics are same as "The Greatest Love Of All" written in 1977 by Linda Creed while struggling with cancer, recorded by George Benson, later 'covered' by Whitney Houston in 1985, a year before Linda Creed's death at age 37. LOVEBITES consistent theme is to face life's challenges through self-empowerment, perseverance, integrity, dignity and unity in love.

Asami was recruited because her demo tape as an R&B singer.

" I could care less about this guy"" too funny. I could go on about their talent and beauty but we all know this! Thank you for reacting to this video!

Miho Miho Miho!

Have to go to northern Europe to find equivalent musicianship. You know who I mean.

Japanese metal bands deserve more recognition 👏

The guy is a reincarnated Jesus, the stigmata give it away. He really doesn't seem to have much to do with the song. The song was inspired by gospel, which the blonde guitarist, Midori, has an interest in. Midori and Mao wrote the song. Mao was the keyboardist of Lightbringer, a symphonic metal band, that Fuki (Unlucky Morpheus) was the lead vocalist for. They have several songs co-written with Mao. They were looking to make an uplifting song like those sung in black churches. The venue has been used by other Japanese bands for MVs.

Welcome back to the best metal band today. 🤘🤩🤘 Wolfpack want MOOOOOOOORREEEEEEE. Winds of transylvania from the same EP.

To answer your question No Holy War is not a Megadeth Cover it's an Original as far as I know the only cover I have heard Lovebites do is Helloween's Eagle Fly Free.

There is one other Metal 'cover' LOVEBITES has released, audio only, live. Electric Pentagram option of 2 CD set "Limited Edition B CD: Invitation to the Theater - Live in Tokyo 2019 Disc 2" includes a 'cover' of their namesake, the Halestorm song "Love Bites (So Do I!)" and live recordings of "Mastermind 01" and "The Final Collision". These disks are still available through Booth/Buyee internationally from Japan, as also is "Limited Edition A DVD: Crusaders Standing at Wacken - Live in Germany 2018". I had already acquired Electric Pentagram CD when becoming aware of these resulting (soon) in now having 3 copies of Electric Pentagram! (these Limited Editions are in the mail now). The "Invitation..." also lists "Keyboard solo" on disk 1 which could be Miyako's 'cover' of Chopin or some other piece, possibly written by her, possibly another classical composer. I won't know until they get here, but Chopin's Revolutionary Etude is technically a 'cover' so I specify "Metal cover" for Eagle Fly Free and Love Bites (So Do I!). &:-)

Miyako the one on the dean also plays Piano. she was a child prodigy learning Piano at age 3 she didn't pick up a Guitar till she was 19 she's about 29 now. So guitar isn't even her 1st Instrument.

Miyako is the only one who has openly disclosed her age. She turned 31 on April 5th (born 1990). Also of interest, Midori began piano at 2, organ about 8, and didn't begin guitar until 20, had studied to be a pharmacist before guitar took her to Metal! Haruna writes music using a keyboard and we have seen Asami play piano too (We The United in "Five of a Kind"). I do not know about Miho, if she plays piano, but she does play guitar and has a drum-kit in her home. As a primary composer of songs, she may be a pianist also.

Yeah, you should hear Miyako (the really hot guitar) play piano. She even plays keyboard and guitar at the same time in "burden of time" live studio version. You are the best reactor in breaking song down. I subscribed, if you doing more LoveBites.

Any song by Lovebites is gonna be good. They are ridiculously underrated. The quality of their music is up there with the best. They are also great live. Their live performances of Raise Some Hell and Break The Wall are my favorites. But they have so many good songs that you can’t go wrong with any recommendation. And yes their hotness doesn’t hurt. I have two biases in the band that I can’t decide on…Miyako the hot guitarist with dark hair and Miho the bass player.

Yes. Welcome back get bites from Lovebites. This song is new one song from Lovebites. But they have another new song called "Winds of Transylvania" Hope you check out that's song too.

Thank you for your awesome insights, man! Only a few reactors like you can really point out the details and nuances that make this band so spectacular and why they operate on another level above the rest.

I really love that, when it's time for her to "answer" to Midori's frantic solo, Miyako doesn't rush but start with a slow and atmospheric phrase, before her trademark and beautifull ascendant tapping (it reminds me a bit of Kanami "Blooming" solo btw). Thx to that it's even more memorable.

Also reminds me a bit of Kanami's Order solo too! 😀

they are the best all around metal currently. they have the potential of being one of the best metal band of all time.

Great reaction.. as others have said, you should see the live songs for a better experience. Recommended Songs: Holy War, Empty Daydream, Edge Of The World, Break The Wall. Miyako the black haired guitarist also plays piano on ballad songs such as: Edge of the World, Epilogue, Empty Daydream.

Great review. When you feel that the song sounds like some other song, remember the main composer Miyako the dirk haired guitarist has classic background, and the vocalist Asami who is also a composer used to sing gospel. Therefor some other band's may got the same influence from similar source. "Some other band" is not the mother but a sister could be. Have a good one.

Insane guitar work, so much going on here. Stellar drumming from Haruna, always a powerhouse behind the kit! Looking forward to Holy War Live, this band is phenomenal Live. 😀

Give Lovebites' Winds of Transylvania a try. It was written as a theme song for a new Japanese anime, and there's a lot of anime in the video; however, it has some of the nastiest guitar shredding that I've ever heard.

Great reaction dude, thanks! Note: Please MORE Lovebites. MUCH MORE Lovebites! For a change of pace take a look at 'Swan Song', 'Epilogue' and especially my favorites 'Empty Daydream' and 'A Frozen Serenade'. Especially the latter two are super beautiful yet somehow underrated. Also make sure to check out Nemophila. Start with 'Sorai' which is the favorite of the majority of the band members.

Break the Wall next, you have so much to catch up on lol

And she is sporting her new signature dean

Winds of Transylvannia, great song, an anime intro. Midoris use of Floyd rose tremolo bar, with squeals, bombs is incredible. Scream for me, epic guitar solos. Swan song, Miyako starts on piano, playing Chopin, into her own composition, then too incredible guitar work. Edge of the world, epic song. Holy war. Miyako does piano, keyboard backing tracks. Lovebites, Band Maid and Nemophila just incredible. Don't know if you reacted to Nemophila yet, try song Raitei.

I never get tired of your inevitable fall into the abyss when dual solos appear.. another great reaction man. "Winds of Transylvania" is another to add to the bucket list..

You will also like Nemophila. Try the song "Oiran" first, please.

Nice reaction. Try their songs: Winds of Transylvania & Golden Destination (which should have way more views than it does in my opinion, the video was filmed during a tour with Dragonforce in the UK). Some live tracks that are well worth watching: Break the Wall, Holy War & Thunder Vengeance. Also as mentioned by others here I'd love to see what you think of NEMOPHILA. The tracks Raitei, LIFE, Sorai & Dissension(Might be good to build up to this one, be prepared is all I'll say).

Great reaction brother. Now if you want to get your mind really blown, check out the theme they did for the anime "Vladlove." It's called "Winds of Transylvania." It's absolutely nuts.

"This one entente of hot awesomeness." Lovebites, summed up in six words. Unfortunately in the music business in general, talent has nothing to do with success. Due to Covid, there are various bands who were on the edge of international success with promotional tours booked or planned who had to cancel. Lovebites being a prime example. They have won awards, toured with Dragonforce and had live shows released on DVD/Blu-ray. Just when they could of toured as a headline act in many countries it all goes down the drain.

Finally back to Lovebites...good commentary, catching some nice details. Looking forward to "Holy War" because, well, it's long overdue: kzread.info/dash/bejne/lJt12tJ-oKjJntI.html

LOVEBITES - Glory to the World lyrics: Everything around us will fall into dark When you keep on looking into the sadness Nobody in this world may ever be free My hearts will shiver and I can't take deep breath But rains will end, and nights will pass, griefs will purify The dawn will come and bring the light in this world Grace to my heart, Hallelujah I know you really care for me So I leave everything in your hands You'd walk with me all the way Learning to love yourself It is the greatest love of all Time will come where we feel the love and the reason to be me Standing in nowhere and searching for meanings A sleepless night haunting us like a shadow A blur in the future, the fear of unknown There will come a time where we can leave everything behind Breeze are running through the land and endless to the sky Together we will make it through this deep night Grace to my heart, Hallelujah I know you really care for me So I leave everything in your hands You'd walk with me all the way Learning to love yourself It is the greatest love of all Time will come where we feel the love and the reason to be me And rains will end, and nights will pass, griefs will purify The dawn will come and bring the light and lead us to a new world Grace to my heart, Hallelujah I know you really care for me So I leave everything in your hands You'd walk with me all the way Learning to love yourself It is the greatest love of all Wherever you go, this world that we breathe together, Nothing more precious ----- lyrics: asami music: midori & Mao arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami)

I agree with you on those fast guitar riffs in transitions, verses and choruses. Those are my favorite parts, give me chills!

Don't ever apologize for pausing! Those of us who are here, are wanting your take on the music. Anyone who wants to watch the video uninterrupted can go and watch it first and then come back. I've listened to this songs hundreds of times already and you still pointed out things I didn't notice. 🤘😝🤘

the best is to see live version from them, and specially the tokyo's concerts. You will find a lot of choice in YT. This band is amazing.

I love that you love Band-Maid and am all for you getting more into different J-Rock stuff. As many have said, Nemophila is a must for further exploring J-Rock. I think I saw that Galneryus' MV for Angel of Salvation was also shot in this church and is another song totally worth checking out and another guitarist that will blow your mind.

Give it time, Champ is going to learn all their names. Just like how we all learned the names of the Band-Maid members. I finally got the Glory, Glory, To the World EP and it's a good listen. "No Time To Hesitate" is one of my favorite track from the ep. It's super upbeat.

Thursday I wore the "Awakening From Abyss" shirt doing payday errands. Numerous people asked about my shirt. I described the seeming-contradictions of women-in-white playing heavy-metal, Japanese but singing in English, Metal music with uplifting encouraging lyrics. The intrigue increased with each seemingly incongruous juxtaposition resulting in several pulling out their phones and finding LOVEBITES on KZread right away and others even writing down 'LOVEBITES' to find when home. Friday I wore "Glory, Glory to the World" shirt with same results in a different town with lots of tourists, leading to many conversations and people finding them on their phones for later watch/listen. I live in a small (1000 population) coastal town and by the time touring starts again I predict we could host a LOVEBITES concert with people coming from far and wide, but may sell-out tickets to locals! The universal consensus is that humanity NEEDS uplifting and encouraging music, now more than ever. Women like the idea of other women playing powerful music typically associated with men, especially honorable sophisticated women who are elegantly dressed. LOVEBITES' women are role-models for all, especially young girls who need an example of realization of mastery-of-their-craft and success. I admit that I am not shy about talking to 'strangers' and comfortable asking, "Have you been listening to LOVEBITES?" While pointing at my shirt. The shirts really break-the-ice. An opportunity to tell their story, just loud enough to be heard by everyone nearby (!) I love it when someone overhears and then approaches me to ask more and clarify the name and spelling, "LOVEBITES, one word, the band, and watch out for all the other off-topic stuff that will come up too..." To which they usually raise eyebrows momentarily, then laugh...
