When the trailer for this DVD was released. Every one of the WOLFPACK members went crazy knowing that "A frozen serenade" would be played live. See Miyako. Playing the piano while her beautiful guitar rests on her belly was a unique moment. That baby grew up among heavenly melodies.

We do INDEED need more songs like this. Lovebites touches the very core of our souls. At age 73, I grew up with rock based music, all genres, rock n roll, hard rock, blues, jazz, and later, classical music and metal. Lovebites is on another level. Keep in mind the band composes their own music, scores, arranges this, and also writes their poetic profound lyrics, translating from their native Japanese, into English. Lovebites to me, is like angels from heaven. There are no words I can write that express how deeply I admire, respect, and love these amazing, classy, elegant, virtuoso master musicians. Lovebites deserves world wide recognition. In my personal opinion, Lovebites has no equal. One master piece after another, after another, indeed. Your review is superb. Right on. Greetings from an old Texas farmer.

Right there with you. We'll said! I cannot fully express my insane love for this group. The ultimate in every category. Their songs go from angelic to the heaviest ballads of metal power Vognarian opera! We mortals could only dream of such talent...and here it is in front center as purely perfection can be! I simply love this band!

Great reaction, you're right when you say that every song from this fantastic Band is a masterpiece, these girls are passion and pure musical talent, it's a pleasure to listen to their music. I Love this Band, I Love Lovebites!🤘🏼🎸🥁🎤🐺❤️‍🔥🇯🇵🇮🇹

I am constantly awed by all 5 points of this petagram that we call Lovebites! Miho and Haruna are such a creative and consistent rhythm section , and Midori makes me enjoy having my face melted, but Asami and Miyako have the ability to touch my heart with beautifully performed lyrics and those blues inspired solos....just love these ladies! Methinks you will enjoy the other E songs just as much....cheers for the journey!🤘

Brother I can't stop listening to lovebites they possessed me . Really highly talented musicians with perfect taste and choices . And they have their own stamps wherever you will hear their music and songs direct you will recognise them , this is lovebites ,, thank you bro for reacting to by best band

Two of my favorite ballads from the band. They both display Asami's vocals, especially Edge of the World. And the combination of piano and acoustic guitar on Frozen Serenade is just magical. Thanks for rhe reaction!! 🤘🏼🐺🤘🏼

When "A Frozen Serenade" was first released on the Electric Pentagram album, there were people who said that it was a beautiful song, but that they would never be able to play it live. When it came time to do the 2021 concert, Lovebites gave their reply to those people, "Here, hold my saki!" The truth is that there is no band in the world that is like Lovebites. They take inspiration from the great bands of the past, but they put their own unique spin on it. The result is like you said - masterpieces. I am waiting with bated breath for Feb. 22nd when their new album comes out.

Every song is a masterpiece.

You are absolutely right, Cheezy, everything they compose is a masterpiece! These 2 beautifully written power ballads are no exception to that. I agree that we need more music with lyrics like this, thought provoking and uplifting lyrics. Both of these songs feel like multiple songs in one, and I love those dynamics. The interlude in Frozen Serenade with the piano and classical guitar shows that metal music can be beautiful music as well. I personally think speed and power metal are already beautiful music but this proves it to the naysayers.

Yesss I was waiting for these reactions, two songs that let you see all the colors of the band

LOVEBITES make me HAPPY 😊 and CRY 😢

THIS is why Lovebites is our favorite band. Because they can do it all. Melt your face, and make you cry. The songwriting is on another level. I haven't heard music this amazing since Symphony X. If you want more emotion... do "Epilogue" next.

Try the other two, " E " songs, " Empty Daydream & Epilogue. " Both beautiful & epic !!! ❤️🎙🎸🎹🥁😎🤘

Welcome back to lovebites again, this song is a masterpiece

One of the best guitar solo from Miyako, another one from the song Epilogue.🎸🎸

since you want more of the 1st half of the song you need to hear their one true ballad "Epilogue"

The piano and acoustic guitar solos always give me goosebumps 😁🤘 Metal + classical = epic 🤘

Two masterpieces of song writing , both musically and lyrics

The 'E' tracks from these women are all highly regarded. Epilogue, and Empty Daydream might be others you have not heard.

These two songs really do showcase the song writing ability as well as the musicianship of Lovebites. I can only assume that inadequate marketing has held them back from becoming much better known. They should be one of the top dozen or so most popular metal bands on earth, yet millions of hard music fans around the world have never even heard of Lovebites.

Some people say that Lovebites is a factory of masterpieces. Certainly these two songs are masterpieces. The talent and musicianship of this band is beyond belief. Next recommendations are “Shadowmaker”, “Epilogue”, “Empty daydream”, “Raise some hell” (all live)

LOVEBITES - A Frozen Serenade lyrics: Crystal tears Falling from the skies Veiling fears The emptiness inside Time is just passing by Killing me under the soft twilight A frozen melody Of doves and ravens dancing in melancholy A distant memory If only this snow could erase the pain I'd wake up in a serenade One life ends And one life begins Evanesce To our origins When I'm lost on my way Lead my heart and guide me with your grace A frozen melody Of doves and ravens dancing in melancholy A distant memory If only this snow could erase the pain I'd wake up in a serenade Just like a dream, just like a bird I'll keep on singing out Even if my voice cannot reach you Seasons may pass, but its beauty will never fade away All living things are precious and irreplaceable Just like a dream, just like a bird I'll keep on singing out Even if my voice cannot reach you White butterflies are fluttering under the silver sky If only I could wish to see you once more ----- lyrics: asami music: asami & Mao arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) & Mao

Next LoveBites Masterpiece: “Empty Daydream” Live! 🤘

Yes, seems everyone eventually runs out of words of praise for these amazing artists, so all that's left is repeating ourselves, and stunned admiration.. Lovebites photo should appear in the dictionary under Phenominal...

It's cool you made it around to these 2 awesome songs! 🤘 Lovebites is simply just a truly amazing band! I love em! We the United is the song they play after Edge of the World... I'm pretty sure... 😉👍

Edge of the world = genius masterpiece! It's their 'november rain' It's their 'stairway to heaven' Never seen metal band on these days creating ballad stuff like lovebites did.. These ladies are world class badass 🤘

There you have it buddy a very different side of Lovebites and we aren't done yet. Asami is the one who writes 90% of the lyrics and I have to say she is very poetic and quite inspirational, most of the Lovebites songs are encouraging and uplifting, this is one reason why I will defend these amazing ladies till my last dying breath. You have done one of the Lovebites "E" songs the other two are also masterpieces I will request them next time on Patreon. Trust me ALL of the songs in ALL of Lovebites discography are phenomenal, no fillers, no repeats all incredible in their own specific way. I am totally glad you finally got to these songs and more and more Lovebites.

Lovebites without Asami's voice and stage presence wouldn't be Lovebites, and I've seen some comments about her style but what I hear is a change of tone depending on the song they're doing and I think she is awesome, she does high notes low notes from one to the other easily and pitch perfect can hold even the high notes like f5 for long periods and even when you hear her accent, which I find endearing, you still hear the clear even and powerful tones. She is awesome it's that simple.

"A Frozen Serenade" -live- is their total song for me, showing all their skills in the most beautiful way. So glad to see someone who seems my twin when he reacts to these ladies. As I said in another posts, I've NEVER been a heavy/power metal enthusiast, liked some thing from here, some other thing from there... Of course, i like some Maiden/Priest/Helloween and stuff like that as almost everyone, but it's not my style at all. Grow up listening and playing guitar with Motley Crue, ACDC, Skid Row, The Cult, Megadeth, Testament, Metallica... As I said once in the past, i was happy in my hard rock world and one day these tiny killer women arrived and totally changed the game for me. Waiting for their new album so bad ♥️

LOVEBITES - Edge Of The World lyrics: Why do we learn to hate, deceive and lie, hurt each other？ Why does it never end？ The sorrow keeps on repeating Wailing, come downpours of the rain Will it end？ No one ever knows Wondering, what only time can tell What is at the end of life？ Why do we only see our own desires？ Greed is endless Why is there authority when there is no justice in their rulings Struggling like feeble, helpless fools Will it end？ No one ever knows Wandering, not knowing where to go Carrying the breath of life SOLO: miyako Standing at… The Edge of the World SOLO: midori / both / midori As long as you're still alive, remember - don't fear standing up, don't ever give it up Until the day you meet your end, it's not over - let your soul shine inside of your heart SOLO: midori As long as you're still alive, remember - keep your dignity, stay true to who you are Until the day you meet your end, it's not over - let your heart love and always be loved SOLO: midori How you live will always live on As your way of life, forever How you live will always live on As your way of life, forever How you live will always live on As your way of life, forever SOLO: both ----- lyrics: asami music: Mao arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) from Awakening From Abyss 2017

About crowd chanting: It got even better! In a more recent performance, she only had to lift her arm once to get the crowd chant like crazy! Our little stage general Asami!

If it wasn't for Love Bites, which has a ballerina and a classical pianist, I don't think such an artistic masterpiece of heavy metal could have been created. And the level of all members is too high! Lyric writing, composition, performance technique... A metal band with such talent is a miracle. バレリーナとクラシックピアニストが在籍するラブバイツでなければ、こんな芸術的なヘビーメタルの傑作は生まれなかったと思います。 そして、全てのメンバーのレベルが高すぎます！ 作詞、作曲、演奏技術…これ程の才能が集結したメタルバンドは奇跡です。

I get goosebumps every time.

2 masterpieces in 1 video, nice!🤘🏻🐺🤘🏻

Two killer tracks, with once again all girls shining, and fantastic moving lyrics in both of them. Would love to hear these tunes on American radio/online so younger people could appreciate melody and musicianship...guess I have to settle for youtube. If you havent already heard Epilogue....more Miyako channeling Gary Moore, with a great one from Midori to cap it. Great job once again enjoying these two.👍

And now the best bass player on the planet (Fami) has joined the best band in the world!! Shit man things can only get better! Rock on wolfpack! Rock on LOVEBITES!!

The following song (with a straight transition, no pause) was "We The United", that closed the Encore!

Check "Dancing with the Devil" and you'll discover a different side of Lovebites. "Addicted" is a great choice as well. Happy 2023 to all :)

Like I told you last time; They are the most talented band walking this earth. The last time I heard a band this talented was Dream Theater. Jinjer is up there also, but LOVEBITES are beyond great. I think with their new song they now have 49 songs and 2 cover songs. The more songs that you hear and the more times you listen to each song, you will agree with me. I also hear Queensryche during Frozen Serenade. People compare Miyako and Midori to Judas Priest, Iron Maiden etc. but I think they are more like Queensryche due to the harmonies. BTW - after Asami stops singing in Frozen Serenade I get big Dream Theater vibes.. Cool reaction like always.

amazing band and amazing song 👍

Double whammy, two masterpieces--I'd be exhausted doing first reactions to both of these in one go. Yes, they are a masterpiece factory, but FS is at it's own level, up there with the dozen greatest masterpieces in rock history.

Next lovebites epilogue and burden of time

Asami writes most of the lyrics, Miho did some of them, Miyako too. Midori writes her own solos and Miyako does most of the rest the music-thats why she is my favorite. Miya creates real magic in her own home studio, piano, guitar, she even plays bass a little (and drumms even)-pure genius. Haruna on drumms dude-pure destruction. Mao is the 6th memeber-that dude does arrangements, programming, helps with songwriting and keyboards too, recording in studio... Mikko Karmila - mixing and Mika Jussila - mastering are duo of masterminds (they are mixing for Nightwish too for example, they are one of the best people in business for sure for that work). New bassist Fami had released her own album last year (at the age of just 21) which she wrote, produced, played bass and sang-she is a monster on that bass. All of them play their instruments from the young age. What to do next-Swan Song with Chopin intro of course. Miyako showed real power here.

Yet another great review of two fantastic songs. The people that got to see these performances live are truly fortunate to see such awesome talent. Can't wait to get the new music in about 6 weeks.

The song they went into right after Edge was "We the *United", one of their biggest songs, with an almost two minute guitar duet. That's how they ended a two -hour concert.
