Today, it's already 2 months ago, that I experienced them playing this live on their European tour. I don't know, where in Japan you are, but they have their main event (and only full set performance) in Tokyo Garden Theater on September 1st, 2024, with up to 8000 seats. If I understand them correctly, there are still tickets to purchase. As it is their main event 2024, they will probably make it the best show, including recording the whole stuff. In two weeks (August 28th, 2024), they release their last year's concert (Sep 24th, 2023) as "Memorial For The Warrior Souls", with 2 official live videos already on their channel. On the same day, they release a new EP with 5 new songs ("Unchained" has a OMV, "Soul Defender"s OMV was only shown once on Monday, we have to wait). After Tokyo, they have 4 dates in the US. Last weekend, they were in Korea. Busy people!

🌏🤟🏻🔥🔥🐺🔥🔥🤘🏻🌎

🤘🐺🔥

There is an error in this bio. Their first overseas show was not the show in Mexico mentioned in the video. The first international show was as a feature guest performer at Sakura Con in Seattle in March 2016. Their first show in Mexico was in October 2016. Edit: The Sakura Con show in it's entirety is available in a couple of different videos on KZbin from fan cams.

Lovebites . . . 🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺

Lovebites is the thrill of the 80s in the 21st century. 🤘🤘🤘🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🔥🔥🔥

johnny sensei こんにちは😃 いつも楽しく視聴させて頂いています。music depends on language. therefore, if they wanted to purpose pure metal music ,.they chose to sing in English. however,.Japanese and English have completely different pronunciation systems. 50 years ago, should rock music be sung in English or Japanese? there was a discussion about this, but it remains unresolved. well, i want the world to recognize that English with a Japanese acce accent is cool. otherwise , we Japanese people will not be able to escape from the dislike of speaking English. anyway,.band maid and lovebites , these two bands are friends.

In the opening, ASAMI says, "Bang your head!" BREAK THE WALL combines the sound of SLAYER with a Gary Moore tribute by MIYAKO - kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4HGYYuBZdGBo7c

New vs Old. I think about discovering Lovebites is how it felt as a kid in the Eighties hearing Iron Maiden or Metallica for the very first time. English Lyrics: Sometimes I wish Lovebites did sing in Japanese because some of their English lyrics are kind of “macho bullshit”. Some of them feel like they took the most typical metal lyrics, put them in a blender and made a new song. (It doesn’t matter since the music is worth listening to no matter what the lyrics say) Metal Stance: Miyako is almost completely immune from the effects of metal music on her legs and spine. She just stands tall and thrashes.

edge of the world is probably more my jam.

The disparity between the heavy sound and the pretty outfits is commonly called a gap.

Amazing, truly amazing.

Hello from Canada May I point out that in several interviews with LOVEBITES original founding member Miho (former bassist) she has said that the reason for LOVEBITES singing in English was 1) she wanted a band that played traditional metal music based on the genres origin (Britain) and also because she herself couldn’t understand Japanese singers singing metal so she decided that LOVEBITES would just sing in English instead. And I must admit while it does take some time to get used to Asami’s vocal pronunciations in her accent it does get easier to understand her plus she has improved the last few years since the two videos you reacted to.

Simply stunning, mindblowing musicianships. Lovebites rules 👍🤘. Thanks bro 👍

Asami's English pronouncing is quite good... her lyrics are straightforward and elegant for a reason. Metal vocals need to have passion, and she has ridiculous amounts of it. People complaining over her English should see the other side. If a foreign band go through the difficulties to sing in English or any other non-native language, it's an honor and a privilege. The opposite is, try to sing in Japanese and see how Japanese people react. To be fair, when Daisuke-han from Maximum The Hormone sings, not even Japanese people can understand his *Japanese* let alone what he's singing about 🤣🤘

They are the best.

My favorite band for the last almost 7 years.

「SWAN SONG」please！ Definitely with a chopin intro!

Funny thing with the power stance being a metal thing, Status Quo did that back in the early seventies when the 3 guitarists would line up in the stance with their long hair hanging down over the guitars, the cover of Piledriver is a prime example, and that was playing boogie. Thin Lizzy done the same thing, things have to start somewhere I guess.

I'm one of the Wolfpack (Lovebites fans) from Indonesia 🇲🇨 who never has a problem with the lyrics of their songs being in English Even though I don't understand Japanese and am not good at English, I was still bitten hard by Lovebites!!

Don't over think about the accent thing. Beatles conquered the world where most of their international audience didn't understand English. And the Beatles were credited to raise the popularity level of Western Rock music in Japan that influenced and propelled Japan to evolve into the metal/rock powerhouse they are today. That said, as a English second language speaker from the US, I do wish at times that Asami to improve her English ainging by working with a vocal coach to sharpen her accent in singing. Asami's conversational English is actually very good as I've heard her live in London last month. However, she seems to put some strange emphasis on singing in English words and phrases that seems strained and jarring, by working too hard. Most loyal LB fans have gotten used to and even adored to her annunciation mostly because of uniquely powerful and widely ranged voice, including myself. But I have quite a few friends who simply couldn't get into their music because of her annunciation and phrasing in English. I think Asami's English is pretty good, but with a little bit finetuning with a vocal/language coach it will broaden LB's appeal to the Western, mostly American/English speaking audience which represents a large share of the market. That said, I still love Lovebites, enough to fly to London to watch their concert. I hope one day to watch a full show in Japan like the one they played in their latest LP released this morning.

Song has ended, you can close the mouth now ;) Also about an accent... I have Vietnamese wife, and when she talks in english, her accent is so cute... Sometimes she makes clear mistakes when talking english, and she is often upset with me(not really), because I don't want to correct her mistakes, because her mistakes are so cute and funny... I want to keep them. We often have a good laugh, when she makes them ;)

👍LOVEBITESRULES👍

Johnny...a lot of it has to do with Asami's vocals. The musicianship is TOP LEVEL, that's obvious, but Asami is REALLY DIFFERENT! The big difference with Living Colour(a great, but underrated band) was Corey Glover. His vocal style was completely different than any other Hard Rock singer. Same with Joyce Kennedy of MOTHER'S FINEST. She's a great singer with a different style for Hard Rock. Asami is the same style...R&B/Soul...but the band plays variations of Metal. When I hear people do the Iron Maiden comparison, I scoff at it. Bruce Dickinson is a great vocalist, but he doesn't sing like Asami. And I am a big Maiden fan. Lovebites are simply a very unique band. Love em!

Glad you returned to the Metal Queens. You are right that they sound modern but at the same time the roots of their music are very much in 80's metal. It is probably why so many GenXer's like the band so much. They are very diverse in their catalog. If you want to see a different side of them I would recommend you listen to Swan Song with Chopin Intro. Be sure that the description says Chopin intro. It will say "LOVEBITES Swan Song Chopin Intro live with lyrics"

I love this band! They are my favorite band. Love when they thrash like this.

My kind of metal! Nice reaction. This was the third performance I had ever seen by LOVEBITES, and by this time I was completely hooked, I knew I had found the modern day band I had been looking for. Not long after that they became my favorite band ever. These five ladies (and a baby) rocked my socks off with this great thrash metal masterpiece! 🤘🐺🤘 🔥

Great reaction Johnny! LOVEBITES is the band that rekindled my interest in metal. The first MV I watched of theirs, "When Destinies Align," was mesmerizing, and I replayed it many times over. I was not dissapointed when I watched their live performances either. Their music catalog is quite extensive, and very diverse. One of their best on the opposite end of the spectrum is "A Frozen Serenade." It showcases their song writing and virtuosity perfectly. Just subscridbed 🙏🕊&❤

Thank you for reacting to Lovebites, the most talented ladies in metal.

Nostalgic vibes are everywhere with them. If you look at the fanbase there is alot of 50-70 yeat olds (My demo) who have been starved of great metal for decades. You get some Maiden, Priest, Slayer, Metallica, even some Motorhead at times. Sometines it's just a brief riff, maybe Asami's vocals, sometimes it's Midori's & Miyako's solos, but it's their own sound. They are phenomenal. I now consider them my favorite band...of all-time.

Hello Johnny, Thank you for your wonderful reactions and nice comments to Amazing LOVEBITES😊❤ ありがとう😊

I think Asami's vocals fit this band perfectly and I always find it odd when the occasional comment will say her voice doesn't fit the music. To my ear the music somehow "sounds Japanese", (not sure how that works) but for me, this group would lose appeal if they had some brit or american girl singing for them.

Are you going to their concert in Tokyo on September 1st? Tickets are on sale now.

One of the reasons they insist on English lyrics is that they themselves feel that rock/metal music and soft, impressionistic Japanese are incompatible. In fact, many Japanese musicians often use one-point English lyrics for the parts they want to emphasise.

Asami said "Bang your head" not Bloody Hell.

ドラえもんが覗いてる😆

In the slower songs, Asami’s English is very clear and perfect. In the fast songs, the Japanese accent takes over, but you can just pull the lyrics up if you wish so.

LOVEBITES livestream is now on the LOVEBITES KZbin channel!

Miho Miho Miho!
