Lovebites has one speed, Lovebites speed. And just when you get used to that Miyako, the guitarist on the right drops some Chopin classical piano on you followed by a Gary Moore-esque guitar solo and then Midori, the guitarist on the left hits you with a technical solo worthy of Dream Theater. And all of that supported by the ass kicking one-two punch of Miho (bass) and Haruna (drums) and the amazing vocals of Asami over top of it all. SO much talent in one band!

HARUNA !!! HARUNA !!! HARUNA !!!

Asami, Haruna, Miho, Midori n Princess Miyako...🔥🔥🔥🎸🎸🎸🤘🤘🤘

Japan is a female rock band superpower these days. P.S. Lovebites sound more Iron Maiden like Iron Maiden. P.P.S. A Lovebites live gig is definitely on my post-COVID bucket list.

LOVEBITES - Holy War lyrics: Look at those black clouds, it’s going to rain blood People live in fear, covered in mud Singing oh Gloria to change the prophecy We are the metal warriors Fighting the darkness for sisters There is a thousand, a thousand of evils Hush, do not wake up Satan’s devils Singing Hallelujah to save our majesty We are the metal warriors Fighting the darkness for brothers Shining blade and burning heart Into the Gates of Hell we march Immortal soul, let there be light Into the Eye of Heaven Eagles at a holy war Fly higher than the sun We are one for all and all for one forevermore Kingdom of Heaven, never shall we fall Reincarnation, wait for your call Singing oh, Gloria to change the prophecy We are the metal warriors Fighting the darkness for sisters Morning star and dying moon Into the Gates of Hell we march Mighty soul, let there be hope Into the Eye of Heaven Eagles at a holy war Fly higher than the sun Stand up in the name of the God of heavy metal What do we live for？What do we fight for, tonight？ But the world is beautiful, worth fighting for Only have one thing on our mind Facing the fate, holy war Singing Hallelujah to save our majesty We are the metal warriors Fighting the darkness for brothers Shining blade and burning heart Into the Gates of Hell we march Immortal soul, let there be light Into the Eye of Heaven Eagles at a holy war Fly higher than the sun We are one for all and for one forevermore What do we live for？What do we fight for, tonight？ But the world is beautiful, worth fighting for Only have one thing on our mind Facing the fate, holy war ----- lyrics: LOVEBITES music: Mao arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami)

Yeah nice surprise for you. You just sow the winners of Metal Hammer Golden gods awards for 2018 year in category best new metal band. Their last album Electric pentagram was nominated for one of the best 20 metal albums for 2020 year. Please check the song Glory to the world from their last EP Glory Glory to the world. Enjoy it. PS- you just open the pandora box. It's my opinion Lovebites are the best power metal band in last 20 years maybe more which I've heard. They have around 50 songs till now and none of them is bad. Amazing.

Finally you check out Lovebites. Welcome to the world of Lovebites. The best one metal band right now in the earth. All the musicians on this band is insane and world class talent. Not a gimmick or fake. They effortless. Great reaction! Like your mind blowing to Lovebites. Next song, try react some power thrash or heavy song from them.. The song is "Winds of Transylvania" or "Break the wall" Once again thank for your great reaction to Lovebites.

I can't think of a band past, present, or future who could ever be compared or even come close to how tight and talented these ladies are.

so glad you like them. they are obviously something else. I hope, we´ll see more reactions to these five amazing young ladies. I suggest "swan song" incl. piano prelude from the same concert. that one shows, that they much more, than "just" the best powermetalband around. I would suggest the version "okku" uploaded and subtitles on. have a good one. greetings from germany.

Nearly all of their songs having dueling solos and unison solos, their songs above the Black Sea, swan song, break the wall, thunder vengeance, hammer of wrath, all amazing, and it’s just the top of the ice burg, some of their songs that don’t have MV’s or live recordings are super nasty too, like Mastermind 01, the solo in this is soooooo nasty

Midori and Miyako's guitar solos are the highlights of every Lovebites song, check out Scream For Me, it will blow your mind

" ... and in the midst of the four mystic direwolves there stood the mighty white fox miyako ..."

Keep going with Lovebites brother. The more you react to now, the more your Lovebites playlist will grow. ;-)

Good reaction my friend... Clearly you have been bitten by the alpha of the wolf pack... Welcome to the wolf pack!! For your next stop of your journey on Lovebites.. check out Thunder Vengeance... you will see how they open their show... As they always said... we are Lovebites and we play heavy metal!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘.. Untill then... stay safe and stay Lovebites...

Rocking it in High Heels

Hi Tom. Very happy to sub - try 'Swansong' live from the same concert One of the guitarists is a trained concert pianist (which I'm sure will come as no shock to you! 😆) The intro is played by her - you might have wondered who plays the piano stage right?! Keep em coming - mad Nightwish fan here, only got into them during lockdown - I now have tickets to see them both in Birmingham and London - I know, I've got it bad!! If you want to go further into the Japanese metal music culture, I highly recommend 'Babymetal' , - some narrow minded people tend to watch one video and think "what the hell is this" , but believe me, it is well worth another wonderful rabbit hole to delve into. They are wonderful performers - and the band is smoking 🔥. Keep em coming - your enthusiasm is much appreciated and infectious!

Lovebites are incredible, incredible musicians. Try songs: Winds of Transylvannia, Swan song, Edge of the world, Burden of time, Scream for me.

Great song, but there are even better ones: Break the Wall or Raise some Hell. You'll be blown away by the power, by the talent, by the beauty, by everthing is ladies do!

Nice reaction..They nasty!!!.. winds of Transylvania next...🔥🔥🔥🎸🎸🎸🤘🤘🤘

Dr, we have another bite victim.... quick, show him the live stuff!

Welcome to the Wolfpack. Thanks for checking these ladies out. If you want to see the best female shredder I've ever seen and one of the best of either sex, check out Saki, the lead guitarist in Mary's Blood. Watch their music video for "Marionette" as it has two good solos from her, one in the middle and one at the end. She also plays in the band Nemophila which she founded last year. They don't call her the Queen of Shred without reason. However, Midori and Miyako are awesome in this band. I told my wife the other day that playing to their level is my goal with my guitars, although, I realize that I won't get there. Keep them coming, you have so many more awesome Japanese bands to check out, however with BAND-MAID and Lovebites, you are near the pinnacle of talent.

Another stunning Hendrix vibe performer is Hal-Ca from Asterism, Dawn LIVE (kzread.info/dash/bejne/lKmFstiCfq3JcZM.html). She is 16 y.o. in this video playing since she was 10, Miyu 17 y. o. on the 7 string bass is just as wicked good but the string work and Hal-Ca fingers are a sight to behold. I love Saki and her fingers of Steel but man this girl is stunning after 6 years of playing, where will she be in another 5 years is anyone's guess.

NAMM Show 2020 MIYAKO ( LOVEBITES ) MIYAKO on the guitar has a good demonstration.

"Do they ever slow down".....NO!!!!! Welcome to the lair of the Metal Goddesses and the Wolf-Pack that follows them with total devotion. Formed in 2016 to bring more European sounds to J/Metal this band of insanely talented women are FLAWLESS PERFECTION in what ever they do. Power, Speed, Thrash, Rock, Ballads and even classical piano are their weapons of choice. Whether LIVE, Music Video, Studio or even Anime Theme these women can't be anything but awesome. All petite models (between 4' 9" and 5' 2") they wear high heels and white dresses to seen on stage but once they start playing the Metal Goddesses just blow you away with total exhilaration. Miho/bass (founder) and little Haruna/drums are the backbone that drives this Lamborghini of a metal band all the time. The Shine Time goes to Midori/Blond/ESP and Miyako/Black/Dean a/k/a the M & M show who put on a guitar clinic in every song this band does but especially LIVE. Finally, the 5' dynamo ex-ballerina student, Asami who came from a R & B/Jazz/Soul background and never sang metal till she joined this band belts out over the stunning music and command the crowd and the stage LIVE like few others. 1st all Japanese female band to play Wacken Open Air and Bloodstock festivals in Europe (2018)and when you realize how many great female bands there are in Japan that speaks volumes. Great reaction BTW and Band-Maid is great but are more Rock with some Metal and Punk influences, Lovebites is 80's metal mixed with old masters and their own sound to produce a sound that is stunning. Haruna(Lovebites) and Akane (Band-Maid) are drummers who are good friends. Female bands dominate a lot of the J/Metal and J/Rock seen so welcome to the rabbit-hole with no bottom!!!!

Wow-Wee is right 🙌 Has the shock wore off yet? 😂 These ladies are special. I first heard them a couple months ago and that's all I've been listening to since...I cant get enough! I hope I get to see them live 🤩 Great reaction 😁

I challenge you to find me a single reaction to Lovebites where the reactor just sits there; no smile, no headbanging, nothing. Just a straight dull face. Can ya ?!

They kinda Melt Your Face Off, huh? Miyako (long skirt) is the primary composer and Asami (vocal) is the primary lyricist with the entire band taking part to create the final version. There are a 100+ all female Rock/Metal bands in Japan, So you need to pick up the pace. Here's a few Babymetal, Nemophila, Mary's Blood, and Aldonius.

sounds alot like Yngwie Malmsteen's brand of 80's metal. 2 bonafied shredder lead guitarists is awesome

Next japanese all female metal band: NEMOPHILA and their song "Raitei", please.

No, this is Lovebites. Scandal is a completely different band.

If you want to see a female shred - check out Tina S doing Steve Vai's "For the Love of God". She was (I think) 15 at the time. One of the first people to react to her cover of it, and who highly recommended looking at it was none other than Steve Vai. She was (she's taken a break for the last few years to go to University) next-level shred.

"These ladies are NUTS!" Yes, one way to put it. Some background: Other reviewers have described them as alien superheroes disguised as young women, angels sent to save us, princesses of metal, and angry bridesmaids. They have themselves said in interviews that part of their mission is to save heavy metal from darkness and obscurity. 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 since at least 1981). Miho (bass, chief metalhead and soul of the band) recruited her former bandmate Haruna (drums, 4'9" pocket nuke), and they went and found the two guitarists, Midori and Miyako, who were with other bands, and the whole group found Asami, the singer, who was doing soul and blues at the time. Miho and Miyako compose most of their music, but Midori has also been getting into the act, and Asami writes a lot of the lyrics. They have only been around for a little over 4 years. They studied all the great historical metal bands going back to Purple and Sabbath, through Maiden, Priest, Metallica, Slayer etc. and they pretty much aced it all. They toured with Dragonforce in 2019, and word from those in attendance is that next time around, it will be the ladies headlining. They have incorporated some of the best of each of those bands into their arsenal, and it seems clear they’re taking it to another level. This is one of their "starter" songs for reactors, and rightly so--you get a good sense of the band. They do everything from soulful power ballads to white-hot insane thrash, and almost every song includes face-melting solos by Miyako and Midori. The two shredders are very different in style and tone. Midori (blonde ponytail) is the extrovert and speed demon; Miyako is the introvert, with the more soulful feel. Midori uses a cleaner tone, Miyako uses more distortion, pinch harmonics and pedal effects. The interplay makes their duets rich and dynamic. It doesn’t hurt that either one can smoke most of the shredders in the classic metal bands. (As another reactor said, "It seems criminal these two are allowed to be in the same band.") Miyako is also a concert-level classical pianist-she only picked up guitar when she was 18. If you want to see what they do with the piano, watch “Swan Song” WITH the prelude, which is Chopin’s “Revolutionary Etude” kzread.info/dash/bejne/oGV2y9erg8vXcrA.html Miyako wrote “Swan Song” using elements from several classical pieces including the Etude. You'll get lots of suggestions, just one thing: don't bother with Bloodstock footage, the quality is poor. Best to take suggestions with actual links. Welcome to the Wolf-Pack!

US music scene: autotuned trap & vulgar WAP. Japanese music scene: 5 cute girls, dressed up like anime princesses, playing some of the most balls-to-the-wall Speed/Power-Metal you will hear, on a technical skill and energy level, that makes most male metal bands look like amateurs, while also giving positive vibes & staying classy. No wonder Marty Friedman moved to Japan 20 years ago.

I saw the writing on your shirt. To watch a LOVEBITES video is surely no mistake. Have fun with your next LOVEBITES experience.

You've been looking in the WRONG place for female guitarists; there are a ton of them in Japan. I liked Show-Ya when they came out in the late 80s, but I think due to the American music industry's attempt to hush female rock bands at the time - yes, there were a few, but they went through hell to get out there - I thought Show-Ya was pretty much a one-off and didn't think about it again. And then, I was DJing a club in a virtual world called Second Life. One of my fans, who in RL is from Tokyo, demanded I play a track called "Thrill" from a band called Band-Maid, which had just hit youtube.... I drove into the rabbit hole in a '73 Dodge Challenger with all barrels firing. Since that day, doing youtube searches for Japanese Rock, I have discovered so many incredible bands that I have to remind myself to listen to my normal stuff. ANY type of rock, they have it in spades. I don't know if they put something in the water over there, or if it's just the fact that the Japanese people are programmed from birth to study hard and work hard, but they are ruling the airwaves. And most of the all-girl bands I have found snow under the male bands. Freefall into the rabbit hole with the rest of us; you'll be glad you did! Meanwhile, it sounds like you have joined THE BITTEN. Lovebites rules!

Loved your reaction, loved that you actually saw them for the first time :D

So you’ve been lovebitten, too. Welcomed to the mind-blowing world of Lovebites. As you have already seen, they really shine in their live performances. They play (mostly) power metal but they are so versatile. Their main influences are Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Metallica, Slayer, Angra, Dragonforce, Whitesnake, Gary Moore, etc., but they are developing their own style. Lineup: Haruna - Drums Miho - Bass Midori - Lead & rhythm guitar, backing vocals Miyako - Lead & rhythm guitar, keyboards, classical piano, backing vocals Asami - Lead vocals

Amazing band ! My favorite famale heavy band !

Good reaction. Check out their latest video "Glory to the World". Great up lifting song. And you really should react to Nemophila. Another good all female metal band from Japan. The song is "dissension".
