Kanami has said this song is her favorite composition, so good!

I must have watched this amazing performance about 30 times and I am still mesmerised. The power and huge guitar tone that Tina casually delivers is incredible. Yes, there are other talented metal players who can play this piece but Tina is a cut above. She started studying classical guitar at a very early age and it shows here. No mistakes allowed. Everything is geared towards 100% efficiency and perfection: from the way she is holding the guitar to her « hand and wrist » position, calmly shredding Beethoven …By the end, I feel dizzy watching her, as if I have been on insane unstoppable rollercoaster going faster and faster..

"Blooming" has wonderful qualities in the MV and two amazing and contrasting solos. Such good tone and taste.

It's always worth checking out studio versions, especially the later ones because Kanami's production skills are exceptional.

Mahogany, Out of Darkness ** and Double Platunm

Missed Flicks , The video was filmed in Taiwan in 2016 , I`ve heard this song live twice Saiki`s voice is Amazing live with this song .

For Non Unit recommendations I would say: Bokutachi wa Tatakawanai (the title song off of AKB48's 40th major single, the music video of which is available on their KZbin channel). Shoujo-tachi Yo (a song off of AKB48's 2011 album Koko ni Ita Koto, this is a fan favorite song for AKB48 concerts and you're probably better off watching a performance of it from one of their concerts than just finding the song and listening to it). First Rabbit (a song off of AKB48's 2012 album 1830m (M for Meters), another fan favorite song for AKB48 concerts it has not one, but two music videos currently posted to their KZbin channel).

When it comes to recommending more songs from AKB48/48 Family it can be a difficult thing to decide since they've got over 1000 songs across their discography collectively to choose from now, but I can try. Unit Songs (Songs with as little as one member and as high as eight): Mushi no Ballad (A solo song originally performed by AKB48's Akimoto Sayaka, while it has been performed by many members over the years I would still recommend the original performer's version over any of the rest). Itoshisa no Accel (A solo song originally performed by AKB48's Takahashi Minami, in this case I would not recommend listening to any performer's version of this that is not the original because thus far none of the other members who were given this song to perform did it any form of justice). Akai Pinheel to Professor (A solo song originally performed by SKE48's Matsui Jurina, this is another one where I think the original is the way to go if you decide to check it out). Temodemo no Namida (A duet originally performed by AKB48's Kashiwagi Yuki and Saeki Mika) The best performance of this is from AKB48's Request Hour Set-List Best 100 concerts in 2009 an event which involves fans voting for their favorite songs and the group(s) performing them over the course of a series of concerts in a countdown style. In the case of AKB48's 2009 version of this event Temodemo no Namida ranked 3rd and Saeki Mika who was suffering from an injury at the time was pending graduation from the group. As a result of the song ranking in the top 3 she chose to perform the song instead of have someone else perform in her place and did so while seated on a chair/bar stool. Even though she was stuck performing like that I can sincerely say there hasn't been a better performance of it. Both she and Kashiwagi Yuki gave it their all in this one and it is never going to stop feeling awkward to say that this is the peak performance of the song since Kashiwagi Yuki was around performing it regularly until April of current year (2024). Mika recovered well enough from her injury to make a return to AKB48, first making guest appearances over the course of 2011-2013, but then actually becoming an active member again from Late 2014 to Early 2015. Oshibe to Meshibe to Yoru no Chouchou (A duet originally performed by AKB48's Ohori Megumi and Kasai Tomomi. While I would definitely recommend the original I also think the music video that was released by AKB48's former overseas sister group based in Shanghai China, (SNH48) is worth a watch). MARIA (A trio song originally performed by AKB48's Umeda Ayaka, Masuda Yuka, and Kasai Tomomi. While I would argue it doesn't matter who is performing this one I know more than enough AKB48 fans who would insist that the original is the best version due in no small part to the fact Masuda Yuka who does the main vocals for the song is widely regarded as one of AKB48's best singers and the other two members involved in this version are pretty versatile and reliable singers and performers in their own right which really set the bar high with this track right out of the gate and has made it a tough one to follow for members who have been given it to perform from newer generations and within other 48 groups). Junai no Crescendo (A trio song originally performed by AKB48's Minegishi Minami, Takahashi Minami, and Kojima Haruna. These three actually went on to become an official sub group of AKB48 and have kept it alive even now that they've all graduated from AKB48. While it won't do any harm to check out whatever version of this you might stumble across there is a certain chemistry between the original performers that just doesn't exist in any of the combinations of members that have been given the opportunity to perform the song). Yuuwaku no Garter (An SDN48 song that exists in two forms, one as a trio and one as a full team song (which within the 48 groups is usually 16 or more members), the lineup doesn't matter much for this one (and I actually don't remember the original lineup) as its more about the spectacle of the performance for this one. I actually don't know if there are any videos of this one available on KZbin as I remember SDN48's stuff getting hit with copyright claims like crazy back in the day. Even if you can't react to it I think it would definitely be a good one to find and listen to/watch). End Roll (A quartet unit originally by AKB48's Matsubara Natsumi, Umeda Ayaka, Oshima Yuko, and Noro Kayo. While listening to this one can be pleasant on its own there is definitely something to be missed if it isn't being watched too, though I don't think of it as one that is quite on Yuuwaku no Garter levels of "reliant on the spectacle of the performance" for full effect). 1994-nen no Raimei (A quintet song originally performed by AKB48's Takahashi Minami, Itano Tomomi, Oshima Yuko, Shinoda Mariko, and Kojima Haruna. Those are all former front members of AKB48 (5 out of 7 of the group's "Kami 7/Godly 7" as they were labeled), they're members who aren't normally found within the same unit song so there is something rather special about them being the original lineup for it).

This music video is definitely one that was meant for existing fans rather than new ones. It has allusions/references to and recreations of scenes from many of the music videos for previous singles they'd released. The producer for the group Akimoto Yasushi had plenty of experience by the time this group was formed writing for large groups since he'd done it before in the mid 1980s for another large girl group called Onyanko Club. At present he not only produces the Japan based 48 Groups, but also the 46 Groups (Sakamichi Series Groups) a series of cousin/unofficial rival groups for the 48 Groups) among others.

Great reaction, MF, subbed! Please keep on listening and reacting to more Band-Maid! If you want to try one commonly reacted to, try the official live video for "Hate?" You can absolutely see their faces close up and personal, the recording of the concert is amazingly good. Or, if you want another MV, try "Warning" (not Show Them, with The Warning, but the video named "Warning"). Or... you might actually get more views with something a bit less reacted to, in which case, you could try an older one like Real Existence. Or another idea is the song that put them on the map, "Thrill' (now well over 20 million views).

liked your reaction, keep on exploring lovebites, you won't be dissapointed

🤘🤘🤘🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🔥🔥🔥 Metal fans, subscribe to Lovebites! They really deserve it! 🎸

Although this is more mellow, LOVEBITES' ballad is "Epilogue"... maybe "Empty Daydream"... This is their winter ballad!

Miyako's well versed in Blues guitar, being a fan of the late Gary Moore. He's her Sensei.

nice reaction! This is one of my favorite song. The day before yesterday, I went to a LOVEBITES concert. 

Midori💚💚💚💚💚

I saw 🥁⭐Harupi⭐🥁 live at their fan event 4 days ago. She was petite and delicate. Her calves were thin, so I think she probably has flexible muscles and has the stamina of a marathon runner. ⭐Harupi⭐ is Haruna's nickname.🤗

I love this song but I miss the piano intro by Miyako in this version.

🤘🏼🤘🏼❤🤘🏼🤘🏼

The dark haired guitarist you referred to is Miyako. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

The melodies in this song are sick. Yes, Miyako goes the blues route every now and then. As someone pointed out, Edge of the World live for more of that, and a much longer solo. Haruna (drummer), is just a beast every song, no other way to describe her. She packs a punch at 4' 9". Love the key change in this one! 🤘

Nah.. Haruna is really gentle to the drums in this song!

This song showcases just how musically diverse this band is. For me, it's a seamless and innovative blend of AOR/speed-power metal.

This is off the topic of Lovebites but you like bluesy guitar check out Blues Saraceno - Fridays Walk and Before The Storm.

If you like their bluesy guitar soli, Epilogue kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHqke4x4qtp-fa8, or Edge Of The World kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIKul2t6rsSWnqM. This is heavy thrash with a bluesy guitar solo Break The Wall kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4HGYYuBZdGBo7c.

LOVEBITES - Liar lyrics & credits: I always thought that you were my knight in shining armour Took away my sorrow to feel I was your queen Court jester Hey I still can't believe you did this to me Exiled from our castle as you crucified me An executioner of every oath and vow of love You played me A sorcerer's enchanted spell's the iron maiden And the ruler of my heart You're just a liar A slayer of the soul Regret the day I ever looked inside of your eyes, yeah You're just a liar There's so much that I didn't wanna know But then you let me go Cause you're just a liar I'm fallen Still wondering why you'd wanna do this to me Reminded though it's tormenting my sanity now A blasphemy Nothing but a facade, a fake reality spun I wish that I could put this pain into a spell of Blackest magic on your heart You're just a liar A slayer of the soul Still can't believe it took so long to see your disguise, yeah You're just a liar There's so much that I didn't wanna know But then you let me go Cause you're just a liar SOLO: miyako / both You're just a liar A slayer of the soul Regret the day I ever looked inside of your eyes, yeah You're just a liar There's so much that I didn't wanna know But then you let me go No more Just a lie You're just a liar A slayer of the soul Still can't believe that it took so long to see Through your disguise You're just a liar There's so much that I didn't wanna know but then You let me go Cause you're just a lie SOLO: midori / both ----- lyrics: Dr U music: miyako arrangement: miyako & LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) album: Awakening From Abyss 10/25/2017 ---

THANKS !!!!!!! Never tire of this fabulous stunning deep song and that face to face part is to die for ☮☮💘💘💥💥!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you! Left on Mars is a great song! I love it! I also love the fact that after so many years Tarja and Marko are singing and touring together. They fixed their relationship and now they seem closer than ever before. They continue to tour together next year aswell. Tarja also promised another duet with Marko for her upcoming album (but for that we'll have to wait quite a while). You asked what album you should buy just to get to know NW a bit better.... All of their albums are a worth to listen to. But I would recommend ONCE (it's from 2004). In my opinion that's their best one... in general it's also rated as one of their best ones if not the best one. I think that through that album you can get a good idea of what Nightwish was and what it became later on.

Thank you for the raction. I recommend listening to all the albums by Nightwish. I especially recommend the album Once, which is also their best-selling album to date. My second favorite album is their second studio album, Oceanborn, which I think is the most experimental. I love Nightwish's music from that time, but nowadays I mainly listen to Tarja's and Marko's solo work. Since Christmas is approaching, I really recommend something from Tarja's Dark Christmas album, which she released last year. For example, Jingle Bells or O Holy Night. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmGqYqCplLNgac0

Thank you for doing my suggestion!!! Since we will be coming into the holiday time soon, why not react to Tarja singing "All I want for Christmas". She does a very dark take on it and it is stunning to see and hear

Turn up the volume. We can always turn it down.

Marko and Tarja worked so well together in the early days of Nightwish. And, in the present day, that continues, though they are no longer with the band. They have both grown and matured musically and as much as I like their early work, I like this song even better. They have spent a good portion of this year touring together and that will continue next year. I'm not going to try to answer your question about which Nightwish album to buy. Nightwish is a band that has also grown and changed over the years. Some people like their earlier work, others think that their later work is better and some, like me, love it all. Listen to more songs, including some from their last three albums before you decide. Then buy which ever era appeals to you the most. You can't go wrong with whatever you choose. Nightwish doesn't have bad music.

Lovebites makes epic or masterpiece songs and then as here they have those that are both. The talent in this band is insane, they make real music with msny influences blended within the same song and perform them LIVE like few bands can. Some other great songs to consider are Swan Song with the Chopin piano intro by Miyako, Empty Daydream with gang and backing vocals, or Scream for Me to have a guitr war that will melt your brain!!

Great reaction 👍

The Warning is the real deal 💯% 🔥🔥🔥🧨🧨🧨&⚡⚡⚡

The Warning doesn’t get as much exposure here, even though I really like the song. It’s just a little too short. You’ll have to check them out on their own, they are amazingly brilliant.

🎀 🇯🇵 ⚡ 🇲🇽 ⚠️

You won’t be sorry with anything you check out by The Warning. The only suggestion I’d make is that if you check out one of their OMV’s, also check out a “live” performance of the same song. (Even if you don’t record a reaction) You won’t believe how good they are “live”! Subbed! ⚡️🤘

👋

👋🙏

The Warning are on average about 10 years younger than Band Maid, but have also been a band for over 10 years, since they were kids. They have released 2 EPs and 4 LPs. As good as their music videos are, they are a great live band and their live performance videos are the next best thing to seeing them live. Suggest their recent performance of Automatic Sun on the MTV EMAs, or check out Disciple, Dust to Dust/Dull Knives, or Z from their Pepsi Center CDMX show on their channel. 😎👍

LOVEBITES❤️‍🔥MASTERCLASS

A masterclass of sonic artistry that is out of this world as are all their songs. I echo the sentiments of @marks5451, if you want a true power ballad from LOVEBITES check out Epilogue, the best power ballad ever written, in my humble opinion. Thank you for your reaction. Link kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHqke4x4qtp-fa8

You are one of a small minority that notices a bond vibe. For an actual piece of Bond music, check out the band’s MV to “Glory to the World”. Listen closely enough to the “orchestral” intro and you hear a slow take of the classic bond theme, often used as instrumental music in the movies themselves.

"Shootin his shot huh? I would too... Tina Fey's hot!" Not only that... BUT SHE LITERALLY DOESN'T AGE!!! She looks the EXACT same in Mean Girls 2 as she does in Mean Girls, all those years later... She's basically the female version of Paul Rudd.
