By the way, miyako said why she choose music metal, because the hardest music in the world is classical and metal.

Miyako the stone cold fox!!! Standing in the middle of the Wolfpack!!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍

I'm an old dude who grew up with motown and then classic rock. After that, it all seemed to go downhill. I had pretty much given up on popular music and started focusing on classical music. Did that for many years. Then I saw Bandmaid, and thought, "Wow! This is fresh and new and brilliant." That led me to discover Lovebites and the genius of Miyako. I have both of their live concert DVDs. If I need a smile, I put one of the DVDs in, and smile like a damn fool the whole time I'm watching it. They make me happy, and isn't that what music is supposed to do? In all of my years of of watching music (over 60 years), I've never seen someone like Miyako. The last person I can think of who was that amazing on 2 instruments was Rachmaninoff, who played both violin and piano at concert level. I hope everyone understands that a musician like Miyako comes along only once in a lifetime!

They call her “Pocket Nuke” for good reason.

Guitarists Miyako and Midori are both from the city of Osaka, both took piano lessons for years (Midori also learned organ), and both took up the guitar relatively late. Midori went to music school - Musicians Institute Osaka branch, where one of her instructors was the late Mikio Fujioka, lead guitarist of Babymetal's Kami Band - and Miyako is basically self-taught. Miyako made use of a well-known instructional book series, whose title literally translated into English is "Mechanical Training Phrases from Hell", working her way through the entire guitar series. There are versions of these instructional books for bass and drums too, and there's hardly a Japanese musician on those instruments who hasn't studied them.

Miyako (the brilliant composer of this piece and world-class guitarist AND pianist) is so humble and soft-spoken if you find the other videos of her online. She even mentions once that she feels fortunate to make a living as a musician! Also a bit of a nerd, she modified her passive Dean into an active one with batteries and capacitors to give it a unique tonal quality. Such an amazing human. Indeed we are so lucky to witness this genius.

surely, LOVEBITES is the best female metal band in the world...💗

The first time I saw her do this, I knew right away she was for real - (had piano lessons) - her posture and the way her arms are resting on the keys is text book. ** Totally agree with you on classical and metal. I wholeheartedly agree. ***

Thank you champ! Finally someone else saying what I’ve been saying about metal and classical music for as long as I can remember. If Mozart was alive today he would be writing metal

My favorite Lovebites song is whichever one I’m listening to at the time. That said , I think Swan Song is a work of art. Never get tired of listening to it. A true masterpiece. Five incredible ladies !

Great reaction. Love you pause warning. Pausing video is a part of the reactions. I agree that Miyako is an extraordinary talent. She composes the music to about half of the bands songs. Miho, the bassist and founder, writes about the other half usually partnered with Mao, the former keyboardist for Light Bringer. He seems to be manager as well.Asami writes most of the lyrics, although Miho writes lyrics, too. I would love to see a Haruna-cam of her drumming through the entire concert. What a beautiful beast behind her kit. Midori, the co-guitarist is also an extraordinary talent and she compliments Miyako. The part of the song with the full stop is impressive. They must be one of the most practiced bands to be this tight as a unit. On the album Electric Pentagram, Swan Song did not include Revolutionary Étude (Étude Op. 10, No. 12). It only included the end piano piece written by Miyako. There are a couple other songs they have played live where they added to the beginning of a song.

Lovebites exists because a bassist had a dream of being part of a classic 80s British metal band. Luckily for her 3 and a soon to be a 4th of the most technically skilled and talented musicians were available and willing to join in her dream.

Excellent review as always, almost touching. Yes, Miyako is a professional pianist. As a matter of fact, piano is her primary instrument, guitar is her secondary instrument, a guitarist is a side business for her. She started piano at her 3, and she started teaching herself guitar with instruction books at her 18. BTW, Midori started guitar at her 20 at a music school and started piano at her 2. Miyako is a main composer of the band and have composed almost half of their songs. The arrangement is done by collaboration of all of the members. Don't hesitate pausing the clips. Your pausing always have meanings, and I like that. Here's the secret of Miyako's Dean guitar. kzread.info/dash/bejne/a6SNucObqJa1iNI.html

Good job finding the right two clips to combine. Miyako, who composes a lot of their music, is a professional concert-level classical pianist, and was originally on track to make classical music her career. When she was 18, she picked up a guitar, and we now see the result. She particularly likes the Romantic Era classical composers like Debussy, Dvořák, Chopin and Rachmaninoff. She composed “Swan Song” using elements of the New World Symphony (Dvořák) and Chopin’s Revolutionary Etude. All five members of the band are Jedi-level musicians, but I think Miyako is a once-in-a generation talent, a true savant.

Finally this one🔥👌

That ending piano part gets me every time. I well up so damned easily listening to them. They're just so painfully good, both in terms of writing and technical excellence. About time Miho got some credit on bass though. She's an absolute machine.

Thanks for the pause warning. It helped me to not get annoyed with your Miyako worship. She is stunning in several ways. Keep the Lovebites love coming.

Great reaction as always!

Swan Song have been my favourite for quite some time.. The studio version is awesome as it is but this live version so fuxkin special..

If I had to define the two lead guitarists of Lovebites I would say the following: one Midori plays a style that takes you to a paradise of madness that mentally chops your brain, then comes Miyako the second blade (like the razors) who plays a style that takes you to a paradise of beautiful and emotional sounds that finish crushing your brain. In my life I have never heard anything like this. Even the most recognized bands that make very good music in the metal sphere have never produced anything like this.

About the absence of a rythm guitar part on stage when they're playing dual leads: it certainly help that Miho is such a solid bass player! I'd REALLY like to listen to her isolated playing.

Miyako is playing a Dean USA Icon. The color is "faded denim." I doubt you'll ever see her playing a guitar that doesn't have prominent wood grain. Midori is playing her usual ESP E-II Horizon FR, only instead of the "reindeer blue" color, this one is obviously a solid black. The black color has been discontinued. She uses that guitar when she needs an alternate tuning, though I don't know what that tuning is (probably dropped D). Miho is playing an ESP Amaze, and I _think_ the color is "Lake Placid Blue."

Miyako played Chopin (learned piano since age 3 so she is a "PRO", BTW Midori also was a pianist but gave it up at age 20 when she dropped out of Pharmacy school to learn guitar) Miyako then incorporated classical arrangements in this song that she wrote and composed. BTW she learned to play guitar at 18 by picking up a Dean and teaching herself how to play while still keeping up with the piano. All these women are multiple instrumentalist even Haruna played piano before switching to the drums (probably couldn't afford to keep breaking all those keys if she played piano the way she plays drums (LOL)). Empty Daydream is another great transition song as is Edge of the World. (kzread.info/dash/bejne/lIGhzaatpNG4Z84.html) if you want Gary Moore's Parisienne Walkways done by his clone, Miyako, it is stunning!!! Here is another guitar Goddess, Hal-Ca of Asterism at 16 playing with Miyu at 17 on the 7 string bass doing Metal/Rock/Jazz fusion like you won't believe; Dawn LIVE (small club due to their ages and lack of exposure) (kzread.info/dash/bejne/lKmFstiCfq3JcZM.html), you want to see a guitar master at work sit back and enjoy!!!!!!

It's awesome to see a reactor that notices and understands all of the technical aspects of these songs and takes the time to break them down. Nice job.

Lovebites just released today a video previewing their new concert DVD that's being released in Sept. It's for a concert that they did this year (in March, I believe) in Tokyo. It has 5 or 6 tracks that they've never done live before, like Glory to the World, and is over 2 hours long. At least for one song, Miyako is playing a Keytar (Roland, I think), and is also shows her playing a grand acoustic piano instead of the white Roland digital piano you've seen her play. For Holy War, Asami holds the last note for at least 15-20 seconds. Seriously impressive! I think they sound better than they ever have before. The DVD and CD is called "Heavy Metal Never Dies," and I will definitely be buying it when it comes out.

This one broke you LMFAO

MIYAKO = Vocals (yep..she sings) Guitar, Bass, Piano, Drums, Cello and Violin --- MIDORI = Guitar, Bass and piano --- MIHO = Bass, Guitar, Piano, Drums and Profesional DJ (Yep, She is) --- ASAMI = Vocals (of course), Piano and Professional Selfie Photographer (XD) --- HARUNA = Drums, Piano and the only atomic nuclear pocket cutie in the world.

Miyako is a Child Prodigy and has played with a symphony orchestra in the past. And I suspect was one of the reasons, aside from her shredding talent, for her to be asked to be a part of the band. I am a huge fan of this band. Haruna (drummer) picked up the nickname "Energizer Bunny", from somewhere but DANG if is doesn't fit! She and Miho (Bass) are the founders of the band...

Miyako is a pianist who also plays the guitar rather a guitarist who plays some piano. Miyako has played the guitar for around twelve years and the piano for twenty-eight. How good will she be on the guitar when she has played it as long as the piano ? In an interview Miyako said that the piano has made her what she is today, You should check out X-Japan, their drummer Yoshiki often switched from playing drums to playing a classical piece on a grand piano in the middle of concerts.

Reaction to X Japan Endless rain is in this channel and few other songs are in his request list.

Please react to Burden Time and We the United

Miyako is the introverted, quiet, mad genius of LOVEBITES. They lucked out when they signed her on. Classically trained on piano since age 3, Miyako composes much of their music.

In terms of just the guitar, I place Miyako and Midori almost equal to each other, with each one being superior in the particular style they play. Midori is the more technically-skilled player, she's faster, tighter and more precise, and her training as a classical guitarist really shines through when she has the spotlight (this song spotlights Miyako more, but Midori has her songs, too). Miyako, on the other hand, despite being a classically-trained pianist, is a blues-trained guitarist, so what she lacks in Midori's precision and technical prowess, she more than makes up for in ingenuity, soulfulness, and creativity, and her technical skills aren't really very far behind Midori's. As an all-around musician, I would have to give the edge to Miyako, though, due to her world-class level on piano, as well as her respectable ability with bass, drums, and voice. But on the guitar alone, I would give the edge to Midori, if only by a hair. And Miyako is still getting better on the guitar! Something I would like to see is Asami on the piano more often (she tickles the ivories a little in "We the United")! She's not in Miyako's league, but she's still pretty good, and it would be fun to see just what she can do!

It wasn't annoying AF at all man.. Respect given where respect is due and these ladies are something quite special. As you say, nothing taken away form Midori, Miho, Asami or Haruna, and Miyako is as worthy of the title goddess when it comes to her investment in and ability with her craft. Brings a lump to the throat and a tear to the eye doesn't it!? Japan has been throwing some serious talent out into the world in the field of rock. Incidentally the two videos do dovetail into one another like that in concert.

Princess Miyako is not just a Goddess sent to earth for us to admire but her musicality and her music arrangements is a gift to the world to enjoy and appreciate. Gotta check out Epilogue, Burden of time & Empty Daydream which is another amazing showcase from her. Also, Lovebites can even get trashy & hardcore metal with Thunder Vengeance & Break the Wall. If you want to witness an amazing duel guitar battle from Miyako & Midori… chk out Scream for me as well.

You may witness the wild side of our Princess in Battle in the East live show.

did you have the castle in their Winds of Transylvania song on your mind?

Shes playing Chopins Revolutionary etude, into her composition. Miyalko a classical pianist. She plays organ, keys piano, backing tracks. Burden of time, live studio, a song you might love. Miyako plays piano and guitar same time, yeah. Scream for me studio live. Back and forth Midori, Miyako solos incredible. Both some of my favorite Lovebites.

The fact that power metal isn't really my thing, but I love this band in general and Miyako in particular tells you all you need to know about this talented group of ladies.🙂

Your expression is looks like a fell in the hall, name of Miyako. 😊

I'm not reading through 71 comments to see if it's already been mentioned. I can't remember which song it is (someone help me out?), but in a livestream they did, she plays the keyboard with one hand while playing guitar with the other. Edit: Credit to Jay_G, I saw he commented earlier that the song is "Burden of Time." Thanks.

Yes, miyako can playing guitar and piano at the same time. Another guitarist can do it like that is guitarists call "gabriel guardian"

Yes, she is a world-class pianist, and a world-class guitarist, and she is hot. Life is unfair. Deal with it.

Clearly and succinctly put my good man.

Miyako is one of a kind. Great reaction sir

She also builds and modifies her guitars, plus she a Star Wars fan. She has a video of her explaining the modifications to the guitar she is playing in this video!!

She is incredible!

She was a world class pianist, then learned guitar in her late teens......

miyako is my guitarist of all time

This band makes you go through fully 5 stages of grief

Great reaction. Miyako writes half of their songs. This one is one of herself. The other half of the songs is written by Mao and some of them by the other bandmembers. Miyako refers to Mao as the sixth bandmember. He also plays keyboard for the songs. Miyako is a real genius. The whole band is amazing. On Miyako’s KZread channel you can see her guitars better. Thank you for this reaction.

Well said. Miyako is on another level with everything! It's a toss up for me on my favorite guitar players. Miyako and Hal-ca from Asterism. After Micheal Romeo, that is. If you haven't heard Hal- ca.,...you must. The guitar playing by both are Emotional, to say the least. Checkout Asterism/Dawn if you haven't yet. Good review. I'm blown away as you are. Lovebites are absolutely unbelievable! Cheers!

Great reaction videos, particularly for Lovebites. I've watched quite a few of other people's reaction vids for them, but most are amateurish and I wouldn't subscribe or even bother to comment, but you seem to know your stuff & I particularly liked the 'Deep Dive' - sad they pulled the plug on you... I only discovered Lovebites this year, through another reaction channel (dare I mention her name, oh, I will, as she's a professional singer and seems to be a nice person; 'The Charismatic Voice'), but she's only reacted to Holy War. You've done loads, so hopefully that has helped to spread the message. Words alone can't do justice to these ladies incredible talents, it still makes my eyes tear-up when I watch some of their live performances. Apparently they are playing at a major heavy metal festival in the States in 2024, so some of you lucky people might get to see them! Hopefully they can pop across 'the pond' to the UK. Following on from Lovebites, I also discovered Rolling Quarts(lighter style of rock, but with some heavy metal interludes, but they are all so incredibly cute - did I actually write that?) and their latest single has just hit 2 million views. Time for another review of RQ?. PS. I live in the UK and grew up listening to Led Zep, Deep Purple, The Doors, Wishbone Ash, Heart, etc. but Lovebites' live performances gets to me every time. Thanks.

Nothing is more metal than Bach.

please react to lovebites-the crusade next.it was many fans introduction to the band.great editing showing creating,rehearsing and performing of the song

Thank you for your reaction! 😊 Nothing these ladies play is easy. Nothing. No-one just gets on stage and just plays all this. Nobody. Lovebites just let it *look* easy - which is art itself. Let's be open and honest: Miyako's music skills are not just f~~~ing awesome, they are simply *outrageous* . I find her skills extremely unfair towards any other (Metal) band even _trying_ to "compete". 😂 They are "so fast"? Absolutely true. If I tried to play a double kick bass drums in Haruna's speed, my feet would just fall off after 5 seconds. 😂And Haruna commands her complete drumset for the duration of any song, pace and live show. Often I think, that she plays double kick generally, but that we just hardly ever realize it. 😂 Haruna, my personal heroine! 🤩 🐺

Some people can play piano and guitar but, to get up on stage, in a live metal concert environment, bust out some concert-level Chopin (of all things) on the piano, then, non-chalantly get up, grab a pick off the piano, grab a guitar and just go into multi-finger tapping in the space of a few seconds... that takes a Miyako.

Fun fact : The Roland piano is a digital one dressed up to look like an acoustic piano. Apparently the feel is different to a traditional piano.

She’s playing a Dean Hardtail in faded denim on this clip They stopped making them during Elliott Rubinson’s reign as CEO prior to his passing

Dean Icon, faded denim flametop. It is gorgeous, not as gorgeous as she is though. She has switched it to active instead of passive, to get the more metal sound she says. She did a video on it on her own YT channel.
