You have been Bitten! "Lovebites - Thunder Vengeance live@ Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020" You said you wanted "Shred".. 😉

Hey Bryan can you believe tiny Haruna is only 4'9"? But behind the kit she's kind of a titan, their shows are usually around 2 hours and she never stops! Im a huge fan of her accents and fills and like you noted she plays those drums so relaxed, i wish i was like that! There is a crossover between Band Maid and Lovebites fans, but as you pointed out, while Band Maid sits firmly in the Hard Rock camp, Lovebites are a Metal band, they are different for sure! Lovebites are mostly known for their power metal, some of their biggest influences include Maiden, Slayer, Metallica, Judas Priest so naturally they also do Thrash metal, Heavy Rock and some sweet Ballads also. Because you reacted to a fast song i'm gonna recommend you do a different side of theirs, try Lovebites - Edge of the World Live at Zepp in Tokyo 2020. Other songs, Holy War, Break the Wall, Thunder Vengeance, Swan Song, Scream for Me, all LIVE (just like Band Maid, this band really shines Live). Whatever you choose just make sure to stay away from Bloodstock videos, bad audio mix in that show. Thanks for checking out both bands and stay safe!

Band maid is hard rock. Lovebites is power metal.

The saviours of Heavy Metal! :)

This is just one side of them. You should check their live video. Thunder veageance live in Tokio.

Live they are more than the best. The team of power metal godesses. Asami R&B, jazz, soul, metal, rock singer, lirycs, Haruna one of the best drummer worldwide, founder, (the beast on drums) without high heels:) Miho bass guitar boss of the band, lirycs, founder, back singer, Midori lead, rythm guitar, spanish guitar, back singer, Miyako lead, rythm guitar, spanish guitar, piano, keybord, back singer, main composer but all Ladies compose. Welcome to the magic world of Lovebites. Thanks for great reaction

You've done Band-Maid and now Lovebites. Now time to check out Unlucky Morpheus and Doll$Boxx. Both bands are fronted by the same singer, Fuki. For Unlucky Morpheus I recommend Knight of the Sword or Dignity of Spirit (live version). For Doll$Boxx is recommended Shout Down, Sekaiwa Kitto Aiwo Shitterunda or Dragonet (live version w/ drum solo). Both bands have awesome drummers 🤘😁🤘

yup go with a live. jawdropping guitars in every song. and as you noted - the drummer haruna is more than a bit of all right

Avoid the Bloodstock lives. They audio checked in a different stage and the last minute (because one of the bands failed to appear) they had to perform in a different stage. The sound is horrible.

Well you just got your 1st ride in the Lamborghini of power metal with these insanely talented women. They took the glory of 80's metal (Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, etc...) and elevated to new heights with their talents and Asami's bluesy vocals in English. They do ballads, thrash, heavy, power and hard rock. If you love Band Maid and who doesn't then you'll love these women and their wicked metal sound. Always try and do them LIVE as you get to truly appreciate their talents on stage. Haruna the beast at 4' 9" on the drums drives this band from start to finish and always with a smile on her face!!! Try: Scream for Me LIVE (kzread.info/dash/bejne/a4Oblsmvg7jTc9I.html) for a taste of those guitars and Midori/Miyako riffs and harmonizing. Empty Daydream LIVE (kzread.info/dash/bejne/noycwdeGfZyamrg.html) Miyako's piano intro starts with Asami's great vocals before this ballad takes off Raise Some Hell LIVE (kzread.info/dash/bejne/g6Fhldyhc6nNmMo.html) the band's theme song and one they love to play for the crowd.

anything from Live Zepp Tokyo is good for you. The people who remastering / mixing the Lovebites audio are the same people who working on the Nightwish and Stratovarius

This is for me the best female metalband on earth. Try the video When Destiny Align (no break in this one). Or their live songs "Holy War" or "Thunder Vengeance" from Live at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020. Or Raise Some Hell of Live - Five of a kind !

She has to wear the heels otherwise some may think a child walked on stage by accident.

Same as a lot of people I would suggest Thunder Vengeance live by them. The break for an advertisement for the album and tour in the middle of their video is because sometimes in Japan they have promotional video (PV) as well as music video (MV). Another band you might like to look at would be Aldious try Dominator live on their channel. By the way Terry Bozzio’s step-daughter Marina plays drums for them.

Okay ... "a bunch of girls who rock"... You absolutely need to do The Warning! They have a singing drummer, you might wanna check that out! Good songs are Dust to Dust or Narcisista! :) Also, this was the first I heard of Lovebites as well. They sound great! The first j-metal band I instantly liked! :D

Shadowmaker and When Destinies Align are great "intro", then you go further on and masterpiece after masterpiece. Lovebites are ahead of everyone. Like you said Asami uses a lot of vibrato and to actually hear her you need several songs, like Epilogue (one of the best ballads made), Edge of the World, Swan Song, Thunder Vengeance, , Empty Daydream, Burden of time (keyboard + gutar at same time), Signs of Deliverence (dual guitar on catwalk with overhand tapping in perfect sync) ... yup to me they are the best band right now, with Band-Maid, Nemophila and Scandal following closely. All Japanese all-female bands. Then you realize there are another two, three dozen of exceptional all female bands, then mixed bands, then male bands, then Visual Kei and you can easily be lost in J-Rock.

Bro, check out their live performance at Zepp Tokyo...

Lovebites is a power metal band.

Hi Bryan Nice to see you wearing headphones of the same brand that i use. I have a DT 880 Edition 32 Ohms, ideal for Smartphones and Tablets. You liked the song, so i'm sure that you'll react to ofher LOVEBITES videos. Rising or Edge of the world, both live in Tokyo 2020 (Five of a kind) are also great songs, and LOVEBITES is a superb live band.

Side note, the drummer is only about 4'10". The tallest member may be about 5'4" 🤘😊🤘

From BAND-MAID to Lovebites, now you really have to listen to Nemophila. For some fun, watch LoveBites and Dragonforce playing together. kzread.info/dash/bejne/faJ7sryxlrKnnco.html

Haruna, the Pocket Nuke, unstoppable. They were formed from the remnants of a legendary all-girl Japanese metal band called Destrose (yes, all-girl metal has been a thing in Japan for awhile). Miho (bass) recruited her former bandmate Haruna (Drums), and they went and found the two guitarists, Midori and Miyako, and the whole group found Asami, the singer, who was doing soul and blues at the time. They have only been around for about 4 years but have already made a big impact. Great live to do next is "Holy War" kzread.info/dash/bejne/lJt12tJ-oKjJntI.html

Great you've reacted to them 😊 Haruna is a beast on the drums and Miyako a genius. Miho is power metal stance central on the bass and Midori is the perfect foil to Miyako on the duelling guitar. I can't believe such a powerful voice comes out of the tiny Asami. Thunder Vengeance Live and Holy War Live both absolutely rip too, both in production and just pure technical ability. You need to check these both out, although as others, have said about the Bloodstock edits as the sound quality is poor here. 😊

Band-Maid: Hard Rock Lovebites: Power Metal

Finally you've got reaction to Lovebites. Thank you, thank you so much. Great reaction. I'm enjoy it. Lovebites is the best one heavy metal band right now in the world. The all musician on this band is insane and world class talent. If you like drum, haruna the drummer is beast. But very very cute and adorable. And yes, you must get reaction from they live concert. Specially from zepp dive city Tokyo. Cause I thing all video from that's concert not get blocked. Next song try "Holy war" or "Swan song" Hope you check out and can enjoy it again. Once again big thanks.

if you like lovebites and band maid... others will start suggesting other japanese all-female bands like aldious and cyntia. aldious is probably the most varied of the bands, they have quite a few really good ballads like "fragile" and "piece of my wish" but also some heavier songs like "sweet temptation" and "go away"

Some Japanese bands. Take your pick: BAND-MAID [All their songs... really!], LOVEBITES [Raise some Hell, and all the other songs], MAXIMUM THE HORMONE [Yoshu Fukushu], CROSSFAITH [Catastrophe], SiM [Killing Me], NINGEN ISU [Heartless Scat], UNLUCKY MORPHEUS [Black Pentagram], YOUSEI TEIKOKU [Astral Dogma], COLDRAIN [Die tomorrow], CRYSTAL LAKE [The Circle], GIVEN BY THE FLAMES [Ronove], ANGRY FROG REBIRTH [2Step Syndrome], SILENTLY SHOOTING TRAITORS [Manipulate], ALDIOUS [Dominator], BRIDEAR [Light in the Dark], CINQ ELEMENT [Destiny], MARY'S BLOOD [Marionette], DOLL$BOXX [Take my Chance] , SOKONINAR [Tenohira De Odoru], HELLO SLEEPWALKERS [Flying Saucer], TELECiDE [Tied up Memories], SPIRITBOX [Belcarra], NEKO [Ghost on a Record], ROTTENGRAFFTY [Hallelujah], DIR EN GREY [Ningen wo Kaburu], X JAPAN [Kurenai], DAZZLE VISION [Second], GALNERYUS [Angel of Salvation], and many more...

Nemophila, is another great girl band. Drummer Tamu, like Akane has a great smile, that just makes you feel great. Both such talented drummers. They are each from different bands, and freinds that formed last year. Try their song Raikei.

The power of Lovebites is coming from the Drummer. She's killer make the other complete with guitar shredded. 🔥🔥

Hi Bryan If you are going down this rabbithole, i suggest you have a look at the band NEMOPHILA, a newly formed group of five female musicians. Here is how JRockNews present them. "NEMOPHILA, formed on September 5 in 2019, is a supergroup consisting of some familiar names from the girls’ rock scene. They are lead by guitarist SAKI from Mary’s Blood, who recruited former LIPSTICK vocalists mayu, guitarist Hazuki from Disqualia, bassist Haraguchi-san from HöLDERLINS, and drummer Muratatamu from SORAMIMI. Together, they released the headbanger, OIRAN, digitally through Spotify and Apple Music on February 29." I think you will find another favorite in drummer Tamu (alongside Akane of course). Ther is some drumcams of her in previous projects, ask me if you want the links. See you in the premiere. (btw forgive my ev misspelling, as english is not my mothertongue)

nice ! you should check their full live at zepp, tokyo...haruna (that drummer) kicks her double bass almost 2 hours...almost the whole their live show...freakin' beast ! she's only 4'9", man ! God....

Lovebites - Holy War enough said! :) Mi..ya...ko!

Lovebites are awesome. So are Band-Maid, but Lovebites have moved ahead of them in my "favourite bands" list. It's kind of funny that people always recommend Band-Maid in Babymetal reactions, and recommend Lovebites in Band-Maid reactions, because they're not similar in many respects aside from being from the same country and women. It's kind of like, "oh, you like Nickelback, then you need to react to Rush!"...like being male and Canadian makes them somehow "similar"....but, whatever, I get it...the all-female Japanese rabbit hole is deep and a lot of fun. I forgot what I actually came here to write.

Great reaction !! More Lovebites ( live 2020 ) please !! THANK´S

finaly you reacted to the girls

love your reaction, but try to see that song live, from Zepp Tokyo, I think is the 2020 gig too. the harmonies, oh my world...!!! Just like Band-Maid, those girls are only worth seeing live, scrap the MVs - go live))) Thunder Vengence, Shadowmaker, Holy War, Empty Daydream...just pick any song, you can't go wrong))) Burden Of Time - it is a live studio session and you will be gobsmacked. When you react to "Raise Some Hell", live from Zepp...make sure you strap up to the chair lest you take a tumble...))) All of these girls are classically trained and none is a musician by sheer happenstance, none!!! Miyako will take your heart away, just like Misa, Misa, Misa))) Miyako is a piano player that never had a string instrument before she was 18...all these ladies...they are out of this world!!! Whether is a power-metal or progressive hard-rock...the home of music now is...JAPAN)))

Holy wars live ..... and be mind blown

All I am going to say is they are (like Band Maid) better live and there is plenty to react to as others will suggest I second all of them 🤘just stay away from the live performances at bloodstock the audio is crap.

A bit of background: raijinrock.com/lovebites-the-devil-is-in-the-details BTW, their upcoming tour in 2021 has already sold out: i.redd.it/1cfk8mnefi561.jpg Recommended: all videos labelled 'live at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020' (DVD quality)

Yeah you just sow the winners of 2018 in category for best new metal band. Lovebites are formed 2016 in Tokyo from ex Destrose band members Miho the bassist and composer and Haruna the drummer ( Haruna is the best power metal female drummer in the world at the moment). The other members are Asami the vocalist and songwriter, Midori the lead guitarist and backing vocals with the blonde hair and Miyako the other lead guitarist, pianist and composer( she is the main composer). Their last album Electric pentagram is nominated for one of the best 20 metal albums for 2020 year. It's unbelievable how they played for that short time together. Huge talent. Amazing. Check the songs Thunder vengeance and Holly war from their last concert Five of a kind in Zepp Diversity Tokyo from this year.

elegant and brutal. you just discovered my favourite japanese band. these five ladies are awesome. thank you for your reaction. "holy war" or "thunder venegeance" tokyo 2020 I would suggest. greetings from germany.

Check out chris turners 40 roll instrumental, the guy is a machine!

You should check out Thunder vengeance by them live it's a good one

Lovebites live perfornances are better than their studio recordings, heavier and louder. Choose nything from their Live at Zepp Diver City concert in early 2020 and you cannot go wrong. All members of Lovebites have had formal musical training since a very early age. Miyako. the guitarist playing the Dean Icon has playd classical piano since the age of three. Midori the guitarist with the white ESP started learning the piano at the age of two. Bith guitarists started learning the guitar at a relatively late age, Miyako at eighteen and Midori at twenty. They are both around thirty years old.

Crazy it may be.. They even sound better and more epic When playing LIVE on stage. Chk out Thunder vengeance, holy war, raise some hell, hammer of wrath. And not to discredit your statement with the Bandmaid comparison but both are completely different style/genre of music. It just won’t work. I would love to see both perform on the same stage but one does Power Metal the other is Alternative w/a little heavy rock. Lovebites had that 80’s/90’s metal vibe while the other is more modern progressive rock in today’s music. Not to start any fan wars but Lovebites is just in a whole another level compare to modern metal music these days. They can do any metal genre and rock as well. Bandmaid may be more popular with the general audience but way too mainstream for my liking. Very talented and great musicianship. Just not Lovebites level.

U should check out their live version. Zepp Divercity 2020

A music you could react to is : Incense and Iron, fromm Powerwolf. It is amazing !

And guess what? They can do it everything live also, maybe even better. You MUST watch their live videos dude to witness diversity and metal perfection which you ve never seen before. Total madness. Thats all I am gonna write. Keep it it.

Wow, great reaction video. Next time please react to their live at Zepp Tokyo with better songs and better vocal. Recommended songs: Holy War, Thunder Vengeance, Swan Song Ballad songs with beautiful vocal : Edge Of The World, Epilogue

Great reaction Bryan. Lovebites are also great live and much heavier. This band is very versatile. You should check out this killer live song called "Thunder Vengeance". Here is the link: kzread.info/dash/bejne/q4t5mbKqc9OtmZc.html

Thanks for the reaction and as most have already posted, the all female Japanese groups span a wide range of genres and a lot of the groups have the same fans, because we love talent. As you drummer, you will discover that in Japan there are some awesome drummers. in the next generation, an upcoming drummer is Yoyoko, an 11 year old that's been playing since she was 2.

Check "Holy War" from their Tokyo concert... avoid every other live recording than the Tokyo one like a plague... they're not very good.

And they sing all their songs in English... singer does have quite thick accent, but you might enjoy the songs more if you know the lyrics :)

you should react to Nemophila another all girl japanese band just as good as lovebites they are death metal not heavy metal or power metal like lovebites Nemophila is a supergroup each 5 members came from 5 different bands, in my opinion Midori and Miyako from lovebites are 2 of the 3 best guitarists in japan and Saki from Nemophila is the other and Haruna from lovebites and Tamu from Nemophila are the best drummers in japan in my opinion Nemophilas best songs are Adabana, Raitei, Dissention, Revive, Style Audio only for now its the newest song, A Ray of Light and their 3 best covers are Linkin Park Given Up, AC DC Whole Lotta Rosie and Babymetal Megitsune please react to all these and please let me know what you think

Please also react to Judgement day from the same band...With their new basist Fami...Thankyou in advance/ J

I love Shadowmaker, but that ad break in the middle makes it hard for me to recommend to people. All the videos afterwards don't do the ad break in the middle (though they had one other video that did, with a much more jarring ad break that included the opening riff from a different song).

I have to say but first Band-Maid is a great band. But to compare them to Lovebites is like comparing Metallica to the Beatles

I would NEVER recommend anything but live from them. Its a great song, but I find the MVs so boring to watch, compared to the live clips. Haruna always looks cool, often smiling behind the skins. No matter how hard she hits! =D All the girls playing looks totally effordless. People use to say comment that. And many also comment Asamis voice, as a problem. You will love it in no time...if you are like most others!! ;) Even I, as a super fan, wasnt sure at first! A crazy good band, with many faces!

And compare this to their latest musicvideo When Destinies Align. and the go to their live from Zepp Tokyo.. Do Not react to any from the Bloodstock festival.. really shitty sound!
