AMAZING RENDITION! - LOVEBITES MIYAKO - EAGLE FLY FREE (PIANO COVER) - REACTION

[@alekhidell]

In 2023 she played her first Piano recitals. The matinee (300 seats) sold out (but not quickly). The soirée was still not sold out with only a month left before the event, and this after the tickets were being on sale directly to LOVEBITES fans at “The Last Judgement” in Yokohama…. 300 seats remember. I was absolutely shocked and told a friend online “if I could afford to come back (I was in Yokohama) I would. I need the law of attraction to come into play. Literally as I typed that to him, my phone received a message. A friend had (after months) sold my electric pushbike. Within minutes I had a ticket and a flight. I loved the performance so much I booked the matinee and soirée last month and I can tell you that, if it’s possible, she is a better player than last year. I’ve met her to speak to about 10 times and by now she is very talkative and friendly. She hasn’t a scintilla of ego and is absolutely charming and gracious. Add those to the list of her incredible qualities. She’s remarkable.

[@PaleHorseShabuShabu]

And I'm off to find out what an electric pushbike is.

[@1970Phoenix]

How's her English?

[@Meshuggah726]

As my favourite reactor (hehe) once said "We should all be greatuful that we live in the time of Miyako"....😇

He is a wise man! 😀😀

[@kent-oveprestberg3578]

Imho Miyako and Kanami are the best musicians and composers of todays hard rock/metal.

[@4thArmoredVet]

I agree 100%! We're blessed to be here on Earth during the time of Miyako, 🙏 TJ&G 🕊&❤

[@jawosammadennhier7062]

I heard piano concerts so often in my decades-long life. But it wasn't until Miyako appeared on the scene, that I am _drawn_ to watch the artist play , and that I am moved to tears during the performance. I cannot explain it, I just enjoy it. Miyako's way of making music is one of the wonders of this world, to me.

[@randystewardson8087]

I couldn't agree with everything you say more!!! I'm 65 and have heard and or seen just about everybody. I can honestly say I've never seen anything like her. Everything she does brings either chills or tears or both. Believe me I share your admiration wholeheartedly!!! The whole band is other worldly!!! Haven't been this impressed with anyone in a long, long time maybe ever!! They hit on all cylinders for me amazingly and then some!! Everything is perfect right down to or starting with their tone and overall sound. And they are NEW!!!!! Unbelievable!! Love everything they"ve done and everything the do!! So glad and lucky I found them. I'll be worshiping them till the end!! And thank you guys for your spot on reactions. Look forward to it every week! Rock on!!

[@PaleHorseShabuShabu]

I showed Miyako to my sister-in-law's sister, a piano and music theory teacher. She praised Miyako's hand and finger independence, the consistent height of her hands when she pulls away from the keys, how relaxed she is, etc.

[@ralphboyer2538]

She was actually teaching guitar online for a while, but I don't think she's doing it anymore. In one the videos on her channel, she said that she wants to make music her career for the rest of her life. She said that it could possibly be teaching, composing for other artists, and doing other projects. She said she would never do a solo metal album as long as she was associated with Lovebites. Personally. I would love to see a blues album from her. One of her top inspirations is the late Gary Moore, and you hear that in some of her solos. If she did a blues album in the style of Gary Moore, it would be killer. Take care!

[@bryandevito5120]

“Thank you God for letting me be here. “. Agree.

[@brandoncook6687]

And yes!!!! Miyako can play drums 🥁 and bass and woodwinds and cello. A better question would be "Miyako, what instrument don't you play?" GR8 reaction to Miyako, The Golden Touch!!!! That's her nickname given by the other members of LOVEBITES.

[@theohof2204]

Brilliant rendition! Can't get enough of it. This is elegance and excellence in perfect concord. We are blessed to have her/lovebites in our lives.

[@Kissanpieru]

You finally took this under-the-skin masterpiece to review. This is a unique show. Miyako is a gift to all of us who understand music. Thank you for this review 👍

[@kaieasthammer8243]

Miyako is class with a capital C. While in Paris with Lovebites, apparently she walked into one of those night jazz bars with her guitar and ask the musicians if she could play along with them. Then on a free day she went to the Louvre, she lives and breathes the arts and has hunger for it all. ❤

[@dregeye]

I'm quite sure she did not have a guitar with her & played a Les Paul offered by the musicians there. A guitar that is by no means an easy guitar to play, imo.

[@PaleHorseShabuShabu]

@@dregeye Eh, she has experience with Les Pauls. While those for sure aren't the easiest to play, it's not a huge deal to randomly pick up and start playing one. I do it nearly every time I walk into a guitar shop.

[@dregeye]

@@PaleHorseShabuShabu I do think it added to the impression she made on those 'jamming' musicians. I find Les Pauls to be quite uncomfortable compared to 'strat style'. I even have an Epiphone Les Paul Jr. that I am still not comfortable with, unlike a Strat, Yamaha or ESP. Totally different 'feel' for me. If there had been a piano there she may have really blown-their-minds, eh?

[@donbrashsux]

I think the jazz bar was in Spain wasn’t it ..and she played a guitar handed to her 🙏

[@kevinbowland4686]

You two make me get up 60 mins earlier on Wednesdays.....thank you. Miyako is a mesmerizing person. It is very subtle to start and then you're hooked. I would watch her make a cup of coffee.

[@metalmark1214]

Miyako has stated she is pianist first. Miyako's piano EP came out last year. Here's the track listing of the EP 1. Battery (Original by Metallica) 2. Far Beyond The Sun (Original by Yngwie Malmsteen) 3. Eagle Fly Free (Original by Helloween) 4. The Loner (Original by Gary Moore) 5. Burn (Original by Deep Purple) 6. Addicted (Original by Lovebites) I've even seen a video of the making of this video as well as heard all of the tracks on the EP. Miyako has played a piano concerts in Japan.

[@marting.h.9417]

Miyako’s rendition of this song is just sublime.

[@javadan]

Wow! All from memory - no sheet music. I'm now convinced she is an android.

[@mr.neorizal8908]

totally gifted!!

[@jamie_lb_]

One of my favorite Helloween songs, in piano version... Only Miyako could do it. And I like it 🎹🔥😀

[@leekebot1802]

A beautiful showcasing of Miyako's less featured talent. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised no matter what other talent she brought out. Oh? She can juggle flaming swords? Not shocking. Yodels? Weird flex, but OK. And I know it's the wrong day for it, but it came out yesterday, so not my fault. Kanami got her signature PRS guitar. And they featured a promotional video for it on their official channel. She is a humble genius, and it was so wonderful hearing her talk about it. The guitar is a beauty. 200 lucky people are gonna be very happy with that thing.

[@tonygriffin_]

She can probably yodel while juggling flaming swords!

[@TJandTheGringa]

Fuck yes! Thanks for that...Needed that this morning...Im not surprised in the least tho‼️🍻. Appreciate it 🤘

[@tonygriffin_]

Sweeeeeeet choice for Lovebites Wednesdays! This is from the incredible 6 song EP that Miyako released last year 'Etude Op. 23', which has her piano adaptations to songs by Metallica, Gary Moore, Yngwie, Deep Purple, Helloween and Lovebites. She is truly outstanding, amazing, mesmerising and every other adjective that describes her utter brilliance.

[@CaffeineNightOwl]

the miyako magic

[@Patrick_H.]

Another great reaction guys. TJ: Yes, Miyako plays drums, and also bass (slaps too), electric (6, 7, & 8string) and acoustic guitar, piano, synth, keytar, trombone, and violin. She has a degree in Music Education and Composition. She writes music for the Japanese Death Metal band *_Crystal Lake_* (great band - worth a Reaction) and probably some others. There is also a video where she took a walk when they played in Spain this year, and heard music and went in to check out the band. But it was just a jam session. They invited her to stay and asked her if she played. Answer: _"I play a little guitar'_ . There is a clip of her jamming with them, but not showing off her talent . . she is a beautiful person.

[@G-man_810]

You have witnessed a lady who has mastered her craft! 🤘🐺🤩

[@TJandTheGringa]

💯‼️‼️‼️❣️❣️❣️

[@jawosammadennhier7062]

This cover moves me to tears every f~~~ing time I watch it. I never knew that I had a crush on piano sound, until Miayko started to play. Miyako's music is *art* in the making. She simply is a _genius_ . And she is so _modest_ at the same time! Outstanding.

[@AFLOVEable]

And if you follow her play here, and have some knowledge of classical music styles, you'll see, that she takes you on a walk through, at least 4 centuries of musical history from Bach's Barock, through Beethoven's Classics up to Schumann's Romantic eras of classical music. You can find pieces of every genre in Miyako's arrangement.

[@modelsfan]

I have said this before Miyako is not human she is an alien disguised as a human because no human can have that much talent

[@raduadi]

Miyako....she is one of a kind . my fave Lovebites member .lovebites forever

[@CrumblexEloi]

But seriously, check out the moment when they switch instruments in Stand and Deliver, where Miyako plays the drums

[@hassanhussein3793]

Great reaction Miyako is my favourite member from Lovebites she is genius, but i love them all, your next Lovebites song should be Epilogue, there slowest song you will be amazed M&M start of on acoustic guitars, then moves to piano then electric guitar then back to piano then electric guitar again Asami sings from the soul, Miyako & Midori heart welming solos second half of the song the guitaring sounds like Eagles Hotel California and at the end Midori does a Jimmy Hendrix

[@luisfernandomunoz6315]

Miyako has been practicing piano since she was three years old. Last year she released a six song EP with five classic metal songs and a LOVEBITES piano cover of the song Addicted. There's also a video of the song on the EP/Video album. She recently played two solo piano shows on the same day. I hope she releases the combined shows on videos so we can watch her play Eagle Fly Free again as well as other classical and metal covers. I suggest you watch both the LOVEBITES and Miyako versions of Addicted. Peace and LOVEBITES! 🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺

[@zeplica2004]

she sets the bar

[@boyzyu]

Helloween's "Eagle Fly Free" is just one piece from Miyako's debut piano EP "Étude Op.23" which contains her reimaginations and translations of 6 famous metal/rock songs. Miyako mentioned that she wanted her EP to showcase just how closely related metal is to classical music. BTW, this maestro can play almost anything she wants to. At your own time, watch her play the bass : kzbin.info/www/bejne/oojSkmiOapKnpsU

[@785boats]

Again, I urge you to watch her 3 videos of how she writes composes arranges & records their songs.They are all on her own private channel "Miyako Metal TV". Then you will see how that beautiful musical mind works. Bear on mind that first & foremost, she is a classically trained concert level pianist. She just happens to play a bit of guitar on the side. And drums, & bass, & sings😄

[@arminbach3722]

So Beautyful. ❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘

[@jjmailman]

I can’t find the link, but it has been said that Miyako has said that she is a piano player first, who happens to play guitar. (and 235 other instruments!)

[@L.A55]

Elegance in the dictionary should just feature a photo of Miyako sitting at the piano..

[@clintashcraft579]

All of her piano metal compositions are done by Miyako!!!!! She was a teacher at one time, but her license has expired!!!!! At one time she almost went to a Science University because she thought about becoming a Surgeon, but she couldn't give up her music!!!!! She is definitely a force to be reckoned with!!!!! There is a channel (KARI H) that has a video, (Miyako Plays Bass) and also a video, (Harupi (Haruna) and Miyako 2017) on drums!!!!! Thank you once again for what you do!!!!!

[@HellR4W]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/oojSkmiOapKnpsU BASS 4 FUN, she play the bass parts of the album judgment day, then fami recorded and rewrited that parts to get de album done. Miyako doing Miyako things.

[@fyreflygames406]

As for the original by Helloween: I highly recommend the latest version from their 2023 concert at the Budokan in Tokyo - it's by far the coolest recording of that song that I've seen so far. And how fitting to think it was recorded in Japan...

[@derekbrindley9315]

Musical godess. Asami said every band should have a Miyako but we have got her. She is incredible.

[@jenspfennig9226]

Thank you for a lovely reaction.

[@hoges412]

Guys, if you go back a few weeks to your reaction to Stand and Deliver (the music video), you've actually seen Miyako playing drums, in her white beanie! Go to about 6'30", where they swap instruments. As you would expect of a musical savant, Miyako appears quite at home behind the kit. Shamelessly stealing someone else's comment, (because it was brilliant) she could probably play an entire symphony on a cowbell! 😅

[@TJandTheGringa]

Haha... Yes ! clearly remember that but obviously that was Haruna's recording and she was mock drumming to it ( which btw looked accurate and precise) ... I would love to see her actually play the drums which I'm sure she does well!!

[@ths_mk]

@@TJandTheGringa Hi! I would bet it was accurate and precise 😄 In "The Book of Lovebites" there are 4 (photo) pages for each member for what they do on days off. For Miyako it shows her with Wampa (her doggy), more animals, practicing piano, and working in her studio at home. There you go: day off = more work 😯 For Midori, of course, it's fitness, fitness, fitness (and some reading, and, lo and behold, playing guitar)...

[@PaulEMoz]

@@TJandTheGringa She does play drums to a certain level, but all my posts here mentioning it are getting deleted! If you search a certain x-blue bird website for "Lovebites Miyako drums" and scroll down a bit, you'll see a short clip she posted in 2017. She'll never be another Haruna, but she can certainly hold a beat.

[@vojtechpsenka]

Miyako is a multi-talented goddess, but finally let's see where she gets her inspiration from: HELLOWEEN - Eagle Fly Free [Live At Budokan] (Official Music Video)

There's a video done during the pandemic where she's playing synthesizer and guitar at the same time. I'm sorry but I can't remember the name of the song so if anybody else does please feel free to speak up.

[@Jean-pierreDenis-df7df]

Simply beautiful ❤

[@syncoyava8950]

Wonderful, wonderful playing! Miyako is soooooo talented, as are the rest of the band, but she just takes amazing to another level. The rest of the songs on her album are all beautiful, and yes she transcribes them all to the piano herself. No doubt it's nothing to her and probably does it watching TV. Absolute genius!! Makes me so depressed as I can hardly play the Kazoo :( Just for balance and contrast. Not sure if you're aware of how Midori spends some of her her spare time so here's a little link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3mQeamcr56Aqs0si=sP54IhRfc-XV9PCb , I think she came fourth but maybe another Wolfpacker can confirm. Can you imagine Ozzy.....errr...maybe not! Man, these girls!! I'm so not worthy!!!!!!!!!!!! As always, thank you guys for your lovely reaction 💖 🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺 Edit: meant to say props to the OP for the Midori clip, they are really worth following for those who don't already know. Some fantastic off duty footage of the girls and fan made stuff. So cool.

Thank you Tequila+Amigo+la Gringa= amazing reaction. Yeah you keep surprise me every time with those reactions. That i love to watch. Yeah it's true Miyako san can play piano, guitar, drums and bass. I'm not be surprised if some day she stands up front of the instruments, look them and the instruments start playing them selves 😂. So I'll give you something if you going to her channel there she shows in three parts how to make heavy metal song. You can see how she creates a song ( by the way that song is one of my favourite melody songs make by her she said the song is making for KZbin only, i wish to be put in some of the albums). Any way please check out you can see the way how she creates the music for Lovebites. Enough bla bla bla from me, greetings from London and your humble subscriber. Much love and hugs ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@susanfitzsimons2384]

This 6 metal song LP done as classical piano pieces is an epic masterpiece!!! I still maintain she is better on piano than guitar but you know what, it is moot, she is exceptional PERIOD.She knows music theory, construction, arrangement and composition and how to blend all the group's influences into their songs (often several influences are within the same piece she has written). The woman is a musical Savant yet for all that genius she needs her bandmates insane talents to bring them to life LIVE, but here it is all HER and that emotional flow of music (Ice Queen my a$$, she plays with more emotion than all those jumping and running musicians). That brain sees Classical and Metal as related cousins that make magic together and you know what she is RIGHT!!!!

[@michaelafrancis1361]

I'm waiting for you to watch "Epilogue" by Lovebites. It's their big, epic power ballad and in that one Miyako not only plays piano and throws in a Gary Moore standard bluesy guitar solo but even plays a duet with Midori on acoustic guitars! Asami gives us a masterclass in singing and Midori goes all Jimi Hendrix on us at the end. It's an absolute blast and I'd love you to react to it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHqke4x4qtp-fa8

[@GrayFox14]

Thank you for your reaction. I would advise you to watch the creative process on MIYAKO OFFICIAL CHANNEL. How Miyako works on composing music in her home Studio. On May 18, May 29 and June 12, 2024, Miyako posted three videos (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3) of the process of working with a demo recording. These are very educational videos. Videos are 18, 20 and 14 minutes long. The melody is very interesting and if the other ladies write lyrics for this melody (Miyako, unfortunately, does not write lyrics) and make an arrangement, then this song can become another HIT of LOVEBITES.
