My First LOVEBITES Analysis! "Holy War" finally gracing my ears!
Ойындар
I have heard so much about Lovebites and how they've shaken the Japanese metal world over the last few years. Now, looking at "Holy War" I immediately thought this was a cover of Megadeth's song from the 80s, but now that I know it's an original I was instantly convinced. . . and I'm so glad I took this chance!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Lovebites for the first time, performing "Holy War”.

Ah so sad…you can not come back to the original point….I am one of them, and have never regret it, lol Love LOVEBITES!
These female Japanese metal/rock bands are really knocking it out of the park! Love Bites, Band Maid, Nemophila, Hanabe and Baby Metal are just absolutely killing it. I'm sure I'm missing several bands here but you get the point.
Asami studied Ballet in her youth, including time in Los Angeles where she improved her English. Due to ballet not having a need for many 4'10" ballerinas she became a singer. She was mainly a R&B, Jazz singer before Lovebites. She actually knew nothing about metal music, but Miho, bass & band founder, recruited her. Being English fluent was important as all of their songs, the lyrics are in English. She is an excellent, powerful singer with full vocal missing in so much metal songs. Asami is the primary lyricist for the band.
"Shining blade and burning heart Into the Gates of Hell we march" Always gets me, the best battle cry ever.

Their new bassist, Fami, reminds me a lot of Tomo-zo from Gacharic Spin, with her enthusiasm and her constant smile. She's having WAY too much fun . 😛
I am sure you will find out that there is a classical element attached to this group! Miyako is a classical trained pianist complete with degree, writes a lot of their music! Her Chopin Revolutionary etude in this concert is breathtaking as is the accompanied song Swan song!! A footnote: Asami started out as a R&B singer, backing vocals for a couple of well known groups! There is however at least 4 videos on YT of Asami singing at a club about 10 years ago if you would like to peruse! I absolutely love them!! Great reaction 🤟😎

From what I've read, Midori also played piano and organ from a very early age, but dropped keyboards when she started on guitar.
They are mind-blowing. Every single one of them is a master of their instrument.
Named after the Grammy winning song Love Bites (So Do I) by Halestorm. Asami joined Lzzy at 2019 Download to perform that song. Some songs , like this one, lean towards power metal. Others, like Break the Wall and Thunder Vengeance ,lean towards thrash metal. Miho is on bass here, she left in 2021. Fami joined as the new bassist last October. Miyako and Midori on guitar, and Haruna on drums. All are between 4' 9" and 5' 2". Yes, check out Miyako's Chopin piano intro on Swan Song. Also Hammer of Wrath from the upcoming DVD Knocking on Heaven's Gate, to see Fami.

First of many 😁😁
A bit of history. There was this promising band called DestRose that around 2011-12 got a new roster with very young girls 19-20 years old. Among them there was a tiny cute drummer called _haruna_ and a wild metalhead bassist called _miho._ Shortly after _haruna_ got some personal stuff going on and left music to focus on real life. Not much time later _miho_ also left with the idea to make a new band, one that did sound like those groups from the 80s she loved. She didn't know a better drummer than _haruna,_ so in 2016 she convinced this awesome drummer she knew from her old band to come back to music, and also added to the project two guitar players that had been around the metal scene in Tokyo but never in big bands, _miyako_ and _midori._ But they missed a singer. The story of asami is somewhere else. She studied classical music and ballet since she was 8, spent two years in New York doing ballet, and for some time she was singing RnB and soul in some underground jazz-bars in Tokyo. Later she entered into contact with some pop groups doing backing vocals in studio, and then a couple big j-rock bands contacted her to do support vocals in some sections of their songs. A bit lost on her career, that made her think she might try luck in rock instead, and sent a demo tape to several labels. In 2016. At the same time the other 4 girls were looking for a singer. Once _miho_ crossed her tape she thought her voice could sound like Bruce's or Dio's if done properly, so they contacted her and interviewed her. They say it was something like "we do heavy metal". "What?". "That music like Metallica". "Who?". But there you have her now, leading the metal stages with enormous presence and femenine power and you can be sure she studied hard what Bruce, Dio, Rob Halford or other giants from that time were doing.
Woohoo! LoveBites at long last.. and it's the song that I heard first, and made me instantly fall in love with them! I know you'll also need to hear 'Swan Song' with the wonderful classical piano playing from Miyaki.

Also, that's sorta true for every part of the world, but imho Japan never got the international attention like it did in the past ten years or so. Summer festivals were dominated by US trash metal bands, it was very rare to see a band from Asia on the program. Now they're often the big names on the posters. And to be honest, the old visual kei bands were getting a bit stale imho, these women bring some fresh and exciting sounds.
Lovebites are The Metal Warriors, saving heavy metal from darkness & obscurity!🐺🤘
Happened to catch theae at Bloodstock 2018, never heard of them before then and have been hooked ever since. Great band, they deserve way more exposure than they get. They need to come to the UK again.

Been waiting for this day ❤️ Lovebites is truly a uniquely amazing band. They’re the whole package. An actual show. An experience. Thank you for listening 🙏 Edit: “the crusade” next… or…. “Stand and deliver” (which has a really cute video clip)
Lovebites' stroke of genius was to look for a singer who had NEVER sang metal before - Asami was a jazz/gospel/R'n B singer before, and usually a backup singer! Being excellent musicians, they heard Asami's warmth, power and incredible range and knew she was the one. An important thing was that she had been a ballerina, so discipline and stamina was no problem.
Dear Elizabeth, finally!! Your reaction to Lovebites was long overdue!!! This is an incredible metal band, with talented musicians and with Asami: she is a power-house, with a lot of vocal stamina and one of the best lead-singer & front-women in the Metal scene these days!!
That first guitar shred blew mind! Great classic metal attack performed to perfection. Followed by fun guitars! Love this.....

She holds that note twice as long in the live version in 2021 at ride for vengeance concert also if you listen Asami sounds like a female Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden
The most spectacular band in the metal domain (and beyond it). These awesome ladies have invigorated and further developed the genre in inconceivable ways. How can a band be that brilliant?
I am so glad, that you finally found them and that you like them. thank you so much for your great reaction/analysis and especially for putting the focus on asamis great performance. stick with them, the lovebites rabbit hole is very rewarding. in their backcatalogue of now around 70 songs you won´t find a single weak, stale or mediocre one. I love how they can blend classical motives (guitarist miyako is a pro level classical piano player, also their main composer) and metal. "swan song" with the chopin intro shows that.
So happy you are doing Lovebites, my favorite band! Asami was previously an R&B singer before metal. This is the most popular of their songs on KZread. Elizabeth, I think you would enjoy their song Swan Song which has a piano Chopin intro played by Miyako who has played piano since age 3. The Wolfpack (Lovebite fans) are pleased

So glad Elizabeth is finally getting to this band. They really do merit it. Each of the members is so strong and they really bring a powerful sound, with a hopeful, fun atmosphere. One fun thing that is a little hard to catch when they are on stage is that all the members (at this point) are around 5 feet tall. You'd never guess it, because on stage, they play like giants. Watch their drummer Haruna for evidence of that, she's a real powerhouse.

As you know a lot of us have been hoping you would get to Lovebites. Thank you for checking them out. Regarding endurance: They do this for two hours in their concerts, at this intensity, and in fact in their last recorded concert ("Heavy Metal Never Dies") they actually ended the set with Holy War. Asami held the last note in that one for some 13 seconds by my count. And then they did an encore.
Thanks for sharing with us your expert insights into Asami's vocals and LOVEBITES' excellence ... plus showering them with some much-deserved love! They are truly an inspiring and transcendent band.
All of a sudden I don't know which one is more fun to watch... Their amazing performance, or your enthusiastic reaction! Gotta love the detailed analysis! Simply great...
Just announced over the weekend that they are going to make their US debut at ProgPower USA in September 2024 in Atlanta. I'm definitely going to be there.
I feel validated. My all time favorite metal band got the Liz seal of approval. That open mouthed grin, with flashes of tongue, says it all. Kidding aside, these women, along with BandMaid, are great ambassadors for how metal and any rock should be portrayed. That is, with expertise and joy. The prom dresses don't hurt, lol.

It's arguably a better showcase of Asami's vocals and it's just an absolutely masterclass of talent from them all, especially Miyako. Also, I'm sure this will have been mentioned already below, but before Lovebites Asami was an R&B singer. *edit* Reaction had me in tears. There is something so close to my heart about Lovebites. They're just such an incredibly talented band and I absolutely love watching people discover them for the first time.

At last, LOVEBITES! 🤘🏻🤘🏻 Thank you Elisabeth for the wonderful reaction to them! I was one of the first people that suggested them to you some time ago and I can’t express enough my joy watching this! This band encapsulates flawless perfection. Other brothers and sisters will suggest other songs of their catalogue, so I won’t waste more of your time here, it’s worth noting though that basically the entirety of their catalogue is full of masterpieces. I can’t wait for your next stop at your Lovebites journey! Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷 🐺
I’m so glad you got to experience what the queens of heavy metal have to offer! If you’d like to check out more from them here’s a few more songs that show off Asami and the rest of the band: - Frozen Serenade (Live from Tokyo with lyrics) - A change of pace from Holy War and a great performance from Asami! - Swan Song (With Chopin intro from “Five of a Kind” 2020) - This one also includes their guitarist Miyako performing the Chopin Etude that inspired the song. She’s truly a multi-virtuoso! - Edge of the World (Live from “Five of a Kind”) - One of Asami’s best performances! - Glory To the World (Official Music Video) - Wickedly Fast, super technical, and with an inspiring message of mental health! - Judgement Day (Official Music Video) - A song from their latest album and first song released with their new bassist Fami. Of course, no pressure to do all of these! But if you enjoyed Holy War enough to at least check some of them out, you truly can’t go wrong with any of them! As always, thanks for the fantastic content. I love watching you break down musical performances and I always feel like I learn something, even if it’s a song I know well. Hope you have a lovely day!

Following the chat during the premiere, it seems there's hope for a reaction to "Swan Song" with the Chopin intro. :)

I mean the Queens are clearly the ones selling out Arenas in Osaka and Tokyo yearly and that would be Baby Metal but sure if you think Queen means barely selling half capacity at Halls makes them better to each there own.

@@bertoneill2488 They must like that gimmick in the East of Babymetal, or cutie metal as I call it Want some chocolate little girl. 😆
You have alot of good music to listen to with Lovebites
I love that Asami never flails, but floats like an angel in the organized chaos.
Love it! First time hearing them. Will find more. Makes me think of Kobra and the Lotus🤘 Would love to see an analysis of them
Unleash the Archers and LOVEBITES! ... You're really getting my hopes up for an amazing show I'd probably travel to see multiple times!!! :-)
Asami has said this is a really difficult song for her. Her background is actually R & B. I always felt that she is the band's secret weapon.

She's really good at projecting power without sounding like she's forced or screaming, which is not something a lot of metal singers can manage.
LOVEBITES - Swan Song [+Chopin Intro] (Five of a Kind, 21/02/2020) Miyako is very talented pianist also.
Swan Song - live. In which Miyako plays a Chopin prelude as the intro and outro
Wow What an unbelievably badass band I have never heard of until just know.

I'm actually jealous when I hear of a person discovering LOVEBITES for the first time, as I know what an amazing journey they have in front of them.

I enjoyed your great analysis and pure expression of joy to this amazing song and plays. Though we have just come to this breathtaking point. Several more things. The lead vocal Asami writes lyrics and also composes for this band. The black hair guitarist Miyako is a classic pianist and plays full scale Chopin as an intro of their metal. She has composed a lot of Lovebites songs. Ah both of them are mothers of cute girls. So definitely super moms!
Yyyyyyyyeeeeeeeessssss!!!!!! I cannot convey how happy I am right now 😁👍🤘👏!
Do Lovebites Swansong live with Chopin Intro. Guaranteed to blow you away.
Welcome to Lovebites world, they are amazing and talented girls! Please react to other songs, all masterpieces!! I love them (and you ;)). Thank you
I'm so glad to see you've started reacting to Lovebites! I discovered them only a couple of months ago, and loved them immediately - they've joined Nightwish and Rammstein in my short list of absolute favourites. They have something in common, like those other bands, each member is brilliantly good, yet plays to serve the band and the song, not their own ego. I also love the tracks where Asami dances - she's pretty damn good at that too! And as someone else said - that piano isn't just a prop . . . bring on more !
I really suggest you their ballad side to see how beautiful Asami's voice : Epilogue (strongly recomended) Empty Daydream Edge Of The World A Frozen Serenade
I see the correlation between Love Bites and Unleash The Archers. Musically, power and great technique combined. Both bands have incredible vocalists. I would go if they toured together.
Classical is right! Miyako the dark haired guitarist 🎸 is a classically trained pianist from age 3!!! She composes and arranges the majority of Lovebites music!!!!
Welcome to the world of Lovebites, who are, in my opinion, the gold standard of metal music today. Be forewarned that once you go down this rabbit hole, you will not come out. The deeper you go into their music, the more you will hear different styles of metal. I can go on all day about how great they are. Asami's background in singing is R&B. There are a few songs where she displays this style of singing a bit. I highly recommend Dancing With The Devil (live version). She is absolutely amazing and a true stage general. Enjoy the ride!!
Awesome analysis of this amazing band!! Asami is fantastic and i really like her stage presence too, love how she has the crowd in the palm of her hand!! 🤘😊Thank you Elizabeth!
WolfPack, Pedal Heads and Maidiacs!!! Japan is where its at for Rock and Metal. Glad you reacted to Lovebites.
