You guys really nailed it, this was a good sample out of their skillsets/musicianship/ I am not a man of big words but this band has changed my life as a metal head they are FANTASTIC. I have on my daily schedule at least 2 LOVEBITES songs just to get the blood pumping. THANKS for an enjoyable reaction. Holliday greatings and Love from Sweden.

[@TouchyReactions]

Thank You

[@13uomini]

Now you are ready for ballads: Edge of the World, Epilogue and Empty daydream with again Miyako piano and the R&B performance of Asami (lead vocal). Thanks.

[@TheCyberMantis]

I agree. The ballads are magical.

[@ahodori2233]

All LOVEBITES songs have English lyrics except one. It was a big dream for Miho (base), the founder and leader. It was something that no Japanese band had ever achieved, "playing at WACKEN OPEN AIR". In order to achieve that goal, we had to work outside Japan, so Asami who can sing in English was selected as the vocalist. Miho's dream came true in just one year after forming the band.

[@LovebitesFanForLife]

Um, the band was formed in 2016 and they played at Wacken in 2018. Just saying.

[@snakewhisperer1]

Your first reaction didn't get a down vote from me. It was your honest opinion based on what you saw. Those are the reactors I subscribe to. I'm really glad you gave them a second shot with not just one, but three songs! Looking forward to the next one!

[@TouchyReactions]

Thanks

LOVEBITES - Raise Some Hell lyrics: Who is playing？Who’s that chick？Shredding on guitar Who is playing？Who’s that chick？Heavy noise on bass Who is playing？Who’s that chick？Pounding on the drums Who am I？I’ve got a voice, it’s gonna knock you out Blowing up a storm Pick up microphone Ready to depart for the battlefield Ringing in my head Burning in my soul Crazy rock and roll, we’re ready to go Let there be sound, be rock, come on now all together It’s like a party everybody shout tonight Let there be sound, be rock, come on now we are gonna stay free This is time to rock yeah Make some noise！Raise some hell！ Who will win？Who will lose？Claim the victory Who will scream？Who will cry？We can all survive Who will come？Who will go？Show me what you’ve got Who will die？Who’s alive？OK, bring it on Blowing up a storm Pick up microphone Ready to depart for the battlefield Ringing tin my head Burning in my soul Crazy rock and roll, we’re ready to go Let there be sound, be rock, come on now all together It’s like a party everybody shout tonight Let there be sound, be rock, come on now we are gonna stay free This is time to rock yeah Make some noise！Raise some hell！ Who is playing？Who’s that chick？Shredding on guitar Who is playing？Who’s that chick？Heavy noise on bass Who is playing？Who’s that chick？Pounding on the drums Who am I？I’ve got a voice, it’s gonna knock you out Blowing up a storm Pick up microphone Ready to depart for the battlefield Ringing in my head Burning in my soul Crazy rock and roll, we’re ready to go Let there be sound, be rock, come on now all together It’s like a party everybody shout tonight Let there be sound, be rock, come on now we are gonna stay free This is time to rock Let there be sound, be rock, come on now all together It’s like a party everybody shout tonight Let there be sound, be rock, come on now we are gonna stay free This is time to rock yeah Make some noise！Raise some hell！ ----- lyrics: asami music: miyako arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami)

The Drummer has to wear gloves because the sticks are made out of wood. If they touch her bare hands, the sticks will catch fire. I believe that's the reason.🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@TouchyReactions]

Love it. I'll be using this in a reaction video. Thanks

[@LovebitesFanForLife]

That was awesome! Made me laugh.

[@melocitysolo9574]

Two guitarists, Midori and Miyako, are like the sun and moon. Together they make this world great. It is a miracle that these two completely different types of female guitarists exist in the same group. I would like to recommend the next song from this concert. "Thunder vengeance"←OP "Holy War" "Edge Of The World"

[@kellerfrederic1]

wolfpack is always here. I wasn't harsh with you the first time because I've seen worse as a reactor, and you generally liked the music. I admit that sometimes I am quite scathing but you seemed very honest and sincere. Not everyone in the pack reacts the same way depending on how they feel about the video. You're not the first to be lectured and you won't be the last. In any case very good reaction on 4 titles I take my hat off to you for that rare those who made 4 titles on a reaction. There are certain titles of Lovebites which are more technical than others, therefore that requires on behalf of the members of the group a great concentration. That's why their stage presence differs from song to song. There are some bands that don't need a lot of staging, only the musical magic they give off is enough to appreciate their performance. This is the case for example of Joe Satriani who does nothing more than play, and Lovebites is rather in that style. No need to roll on the floor like Angus Young to make the show, just the power and the musical quality do the rest.

[@TouchyReactions]

Thank You

[@heavymetalisthelaw1227]

amazing songs. midori is the guitarist with the blonde pony tail. miyako is the guitarist that plays piano. miho is bass. haruna is drums. asami is vocals. all there songs are in english with the exception of the song bravehearted off the lovebites ep. the song was later rerecorded in english for there first album and is sung in english when performed live. lovebites won the metal hammer golden god award for best new band in 2018. If i had a song to recommend would be We The United. It is there anthem and the song that introduced them to me and is a truly amazing song kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6PEfqmJlpuEipY

Thank You. It's been added to the list.

[@grantnealon5101]

Great reaction guys... I think you can now see just who these ladies are.. You need to do "Holy war" live in Tokyo next.. It's smokin hot!!! And now you have tasted Some Japan.. Try Band maid.. Real "existence" live is a good start.. Then do Gacharic spin their music video of the song "Mindset" is awesome.. New sub, so will be along for the ride.. The wolf pac is here, get ready for the Maidiac's they too will invade your channel.. Best wishes from France..

[@TouchyReactions]

Thanks. I will update the list.

[@EM-vh6nj]

@@TouchyReactions What Lovebites is to metal, Bandmaid is to hard rock. You show the love to Lovebites and the Wolfpack will reward you. Similarly, the Maidiacs will invade your channel if you give them a chance. Both bands feature great singers and musicians who are dedicated to their craft. A suggestion for your first Bandmaid reaction - their live performances are the best place to start. From the World Domination Tour 2020, try Freedom, Domination or Play. From 2018, Onset (an instrumental) and Grant Nealon's suggestion of Real Existence live from 2018 is good as well

[@LovebitesFanForLife]

Kudos to you Sir for taking the heat from the wolfpack and being such a good sport with it. I have seen several reactors on KZbin get criticized by the wolfpack for negative comments they made and almost every other reactor got angry and lashed out in retaliation which escalated the situation and made it even worse. But you, Sir, are a GREAT reactor, because you took the punches, gave Lovebites another shot, and were man enough to admit your mistake. You even posted the negative comments. Most reactors would have taken offense to the Funeral Director remark, but you took it in stride and were able to laugh at it. That is commendable. I subscribed to your channel now. You are welcome to join the wolfpack if you like, and spread the word to everyone you know, LOVEBITES is a GREAT band, one of the best in the world.

[@TouchyReactions]

Thanks

[@skoob64]

Miyako (black haired guitarist) has studied classical piano for twenty-eight of her thirty-one years to concert performance standard and is her primary instrument. She taught herself to play guitar at university at eighteen or nineteen and has only play it for just over ten years. One wonders how good she will be when she pays layed for another ten years or so She played her last two hour concert four/five months pregnant.

[@pattymeals2395]

And Midori started to play guitar at 21.

I scrolled through some comments on this reaction and I didn’t see those who gave negativity to you apologize so I will do that on their behalf, first reactions are tricky for those being exposed to LOVEBITES for the first time and not knowing what they are getting in to lol but I give you credit for taking the negativity in stride. Good luck with your journey

[@Greish-esquire]

Thank you Sir. :) Grew up with Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Zep ,Yes - et 'al in the 60's. So finding a new generation after all these decades was an eye opener for me. I'd gone back to Classical and Folk. ~ 4 years ago I bumped into BAND-MAID and what? Now virtually all I listen to is to J-Something. Remember Classical music is just Rock/Metal before electricity! :)

[@TouchyReactions]

Rock on!

[@davidmiera8858]

"Classical music is just Rock/Metal before electricity!" Haha! 👏👏Love it!

[@hoges412]

From an Aussie - nice reaction mate, and good on you for giving them another go and responding so gracefully to your critics. I actually think the Wolfpack, and the Nightwish Army for that matter are generally fairly sociable and willing to help reactors to appreciate their idols, although there'll always be a few idiots who go over the top. Now, if only we can persuade your fellow countryman Tank the Tech to give Lovebites another try, as he also dismissed them on the basis of just one track (wasn't too keen on Asami's vocals apparently) . The lesson is to do what you've done and delve a bit deeper. ps, subscribed, looking forward to the next one.

[@TouchyReactions]

Thank You

[@L.A55]

@Hoges412 Tank the tech likes all types of music, but gets narrow minded with metal, liking only the deep growling scream and or death metal in his overall attitude towards the genre it seems..So he'd never accept Lovebites, although he enjoyed their musicianship. Such a shame, because he's missing out on some great music and singing from an Amazing band.. Even another great band, Nemophila would rub him the wrong way I'll bet, because of Mayu higher register banshee wailing(which I Love btw)..

[@zoranbl1990]

You two were blind, but now you can see. Lovebites is a band thats making metal beautiful again. Best metal band in the world right now. You still have a lot to see, especially live cause they destroy live

[@lonniekramlich6241]

I'm so glad you came back to this band ! They are not always flashy but they can play the lights out !! ❤🎙🎸🥁🎹😎👌 P.S. I read a comment that said your critics should apologize, I will never apologize for being passionate about the bands & music I love & will call out unjustified criticism & my comment was neither rude or disrespectful.

LOVEBITES - The Hammer Of Wrath lyrics: What's the worst way to die？ Burning to death, or drowning？ Everyone laughs in derision There's no hope at all Why is the world rotting away Howling in pain, they slowly die All of the sorrow is murderous The insanity (Burn up) They're calling me (Burn up) It's do or die (Burn up) Get ready for hell (Bring down justice to the wicked) Don't look away from the mistakes Open your eyes, and see the truth When lightning cracks the blackened sky Listen to the screams of distress It's like a bad dream but it's not No way to get out, a living nightmare Bring down the Hammer of Wrath Who will be the next to burn？ God only knows the victim Everyone knows they are innocent All the hope is gone In despair they pass away There was no hope to begin with Even the angels are giving up Looking down on us Will this night ever break dawn (Bring down justice to the wicked) What's the worst way to die？ Burning to death, or drowning？ Everyone laughs in derision There's no hope at all Why is the world rotting away Howling in pain, they slowly die All of the sorrow is murderous The insanity (Burn up) They're calling me (Burn up) It's do or die (Burn up) Get ready for hell (Bring down justice to the wicked) Don't look away from the mistakes Open your eyes, and see the truth When lightning cracks the blackened sky Listen to the screams of distress It's like a bad dream but it's not No way to get out, a living nightmare Bring down the Hammer of Wrath Bring down the Hammer of Wrath ----- lyrics: miho music: miho & Mao arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami)

[@WaterSeesWater]

ああ、なるほど。Miyakoが結婚して出産したのね。今年のライブのときは妊娠していたと。 それで、なぜ、あのライブのMiyakoがやたらと色っぽかったのか、謎が解けたよ。体全体がまろやかになって、緩やかに揺れていた。これで、AsamiとMiyakoの二人が結婚し、Mihoが去り、残るは、HarunaとMidori。全員、結婚して子供を産んで、バンドを続けたら、どんなサウンドになっていくのか楽しみだ。

Big love 👏 to Touchy Reactions for coming back and giving my favourite band another go. Lovebites No1🤘🐺

[@TouchyReactions]

Thank You

[@hiawatha.g]

Thank you for coming back to them--and doing a triple play. You chose well, capturing three very different aspects of the band. So, to help you with names: Haruna - drums (2016-present) Midori - guitars, backing vocals (2016-present) (blonde ponytail) Miyako - guitars, keyboards, backing vocals, main composer (2016-present) (dark hair) Asami - lead vocals, writes a lot of the lyrics (2016-present) Miho - bass, backing vocals, founder and bandleader (2016-2021) wrote some of their thrashier songs, eg. Thunder Vengeance "Raise some Hell" is just a straight-up rocker, and one of their least technical songs. They can just go nuts with it because they can probably play it in their sleep. But yes, it's a very good first reaction song. Re. "Swan Song": Chopin (pronounced Show-pan) was a Polish-born Romantic-era (1800’s) classical composer and piano virtuoso who lived most of his life in France. He is considered one of the greatest classical composers of all time. Miyako, who composes a lot of Lovebites’ music, is a professional-level concert pianist, and was originally going to make classical music her career. When she was 18, she picked up a guitar, and is now one of the best metal guitarists in the world. She particularly likes the Romantic Era classical composers like Debussy, Dvořák, Chopin and Rachmaninoff. She composed “Swan Song” using elements of the New World Symphony (Dvořák) and Chopin’s Revolutionary Etude (official name Étude Opus 10, No. 12 in C minor). All five members of the band are Jedi-level musicians, but I think Miyako is a once-in-a generation talent, a true savant. Re. "Hammer of Wrath": The opening passage is actually a pre-recorded instrumental ("the Awakening") that introduces their encore; "Hammer" is the first of three live songs in the encore. Keep in mind they are coming back after 90 minutes of relentless Lovebites-pace thrashing, and they look like they could go another 90. One final note--the first video you watched was from their 2021 concert. These three are from 2020.

[@Woody_Hart]

Thanks for the honorable mention at the end here. I think all of us "butt hurt" fans of Lovebites are more than pleased with the way you handled your re-consideration of this wonderful group. Nice job, both of you. 🤘

[@thesaturdaymorningcowboy4198]

I’m a fairly good judge of character and I thought you might come back for a more objective viewing of LOVEBITES and you did not disappoint. In fact, you came back in spades and I doing so you have just earned my subscription. I commented on your first Lovebites video and recommended Swan Song so you might see a different look from them. You certainly came back with a vengeance with three excellent songs and great audio and video quality. Keep doing what you’re doing and the Cowboy will be looking for more of your reactions. Now, just in case you haven’t yet reacted to The Warning, I think you might add them to your rotation. They are another all female band of 3 young sisters from Mexico who play a new generation of hard rock and will be taking the US by storm starting in January for their American tour. They caught Metallica’s attention and are featured as the lead off song on Metallica’s newest album, The Blacklist! Head over to their KZbin channel and you can pick something from there. Their video Disciple or Enter Sandman are two great choices to react to. Happy trails to you!

[@TouchyReactions]

Thank You. I've added them to the list.

Japanese musicians are made to play live. In Japan, if you don't deliver on live shows, in any style of music, you're nothing. There are a lot of other bands, but we can start with these. Japan now has awsome new rock bands that are ten years old or less. Sadly, western rock are stucked in the mud for at least, 20 years. All of the great headliners are grandfathers (or grand grandfathers). :-)

[@LovebitesFanForLife]

Lovebites released one song in Japanese "Bravehearted" on their very first EP. That song had been written by the drummer when she was in a previous band which is why it was in Japanese. They later released an English version of the song. Other than that ALL of their 50 songs are 100% English. They made that choice because their target audience is the whole world, not just Japan.

[@garykeeling2275]

The three songs in this reaction are all from the same concert, which was the Five of a Kind tour (Zepp DiverCity, Tokyo) in 2020, but it is not the same concert as the first video you reacted to a few days ago, although they are wearing the same outfits. The first reaction Set the World on Fire was from the Ride for Vengeance Tour, which was in March 2021. You also correctly surmised that The Awakening/Hammer of Wrath was an encore. It was the first of a three-song encore that also included Edge of the World and their real show-stopper We the United.

The pianist Miyako graduated from the Chopin academy before starting to rock, she was at first a support musician before joining the group. When the bassist Miho and drummer Haruna formed lovebites, they organized auditions for a singer and cjose Asami on the ground that she had a strong voice and could sing in English. Singing in Japanese would have restricted their success abroad.

[@TouchyReactions]

They are all very talented

[@fastskipper777]

All their songs are in English. Only one in Japanese was "Bravehearted" which was on their first EP album. They did re-record it in English as well. They usually perform it Live in English.

[@jmetallover]

First and foremost THANK YOU, for giving this insane band a second chance. Many a reactor would of given up especially with all the negative reactions you had to endure, so BRAVO to you!!! A great selection for this band and if you don't like them after this then we are not your cup of tea!! The talent in this band is insane and when you realize the size of these petite women (look like runway models) Haruna/drums 4' 9", Asami/vocals 4' 10", Midori/Blond guitar and Miho/bass 5' and the giant Miyako/Black guitar/piano 5' 2" it is even more mind blowing. These women got at it like this for 2 hours and with no apparent effort and no sweat in gowns/dresses and HIGH HEELS, while all the while singing uplifting lyrics and melting your face off. Japanese women are some of the most gifted musicians you will ever experience. Think Midori and Miyako are insane, wait, say they are the best and you will get reactions like you won't believe from the fans of Hal-Ca(Asterism), Tomo-zo (Doll$Boxx), Yuki (D_Drive), Saki (Mary's Blood/Nemophila), Kanami (Band Maid) etc..! Show-Ya stormed the Boy's Club in the 1980's and all these great female bands have followed them in (Show-Ya is still active BTW). This band incorporates the piano into metal better than any other band period!! While Miyako is a musical savant and writes incredible compositions they are nothing without these incredibly talented band-mates of hers who can play them and do so in total sync LIVE. This band is the very definition of FLAWLESS PERFECTION and that is because they are relentless in their practice habits pursuing perfection!! Well done subbed!!!!

Thanks!

I suggest for a next trilogy the songs "Rising" a spectacular video clip, "Liar" studio live, "Empty daydream" entrance with piano. Greetings. The girls are called HARUNA, drums, MIHO, bass, ASAMI, voice, MIDORI, guitar, MIYAKO, guitar and piano

[@TouchyReactions]

I'll check them out! Thanks

[@martins767]

Ok... I loved THIS reaction... and you are - no doubt - the BEST reactors on KZbin. LoL ! Please don't mind my (late) comment on the first video. You just won my heart here. Bless you!

[@hiufernando7340]

Yes. Lovebites have a lot die hard fans called Wolfpack. And wolfpack sometimes can be so aggressive 😁 For me, I'm don't have a problem when your reaction to Lovebites at the first time. "Set the world on fire" is song with more dark and brutal. Some reactor and some people love watch "set the world on fire" on they first reaction to Lovebites. Glad you both back again reaction to Lovebites. And this time you make reaction 3 song of Lovebites. Like it!! Thank you for great reaction to Lovebites. And sorry if my English Language is still bad. Because I'm just use speak English when I comments about Lovebites. I'm from Indonesia 🇮🇩 by the way.

[@TouchyReactions]

Your English is very good. I understood all of it. Thank you.

[@ericsaari2901]

Best metal band in the world imho! Just amazing. My favorite band of all time. I look forward to some more reactions from them. I don't mind honest opinions, by the way. I was content to wait and confident you'd be bitten lol.

[@rudi.hendrawan5852]

Welcome to wolfpack 😎 i subscribe for your lovebites reaction. Sorry my english is not good. Hi im from indonesia. Try to watch lovebites - We The United 😎. And my favorite lovebites song is EDGE OF THE WORLD 😇

[@TouchyReactions]

Thanks, they are on the list. Your English is pretty good.

[@funnyrailroadcrossing2767]

Wow, triple reaction video. Lovebites don't have bad song IMO. I will recomended some slower song from Lovebites, check out: Burden Of Time, Empty Daydream, Epilogue Thanks

[@TouchyReactions]

I'll check them out! Thanks

[@terrancejordan7484]

I gave you a thumbs down for the last video and almost left you a negative comment but now I gave a thumbs up and subscribed! The only thing that sucks about Lovebites is that Miho, bassist and founder left, not sure why.

[@TouchyReactions]

Thanks, I hope they still stay together.

[@terrancejordan7484]

@@TouchyReactions They aren't breaking up and there's so much talent in Japan that I'm sure they will find an awesome bassist to take Miho's spot.

[@pattymeals2395]

Most drummers ive seen wearing gloves mostly played on thrash metal and extreme metal bands.

[@evilvolts]

Haruna wrote a song called Bravehearted that was on their 1st EP it was in Japanese they added Bravehearted in English to the 1st whole album following that everything has been in english since

[@reel_mixer]

Slash never knew, that you can squeeze that much from the Gibson.

[@edstpierre3428]

It takes a big man to admit that perhaps he was in error and you sir are a big man! I'm old enough to have witnessed the birth of rock & roll in the 50's and have been a die hard metal fan since the beginning in the 70's. I never thought that I would ever witness another great band then Lovebites happened. There is hope for the future! Enjoy the rabbit hole you have just entered.

[@TouchyReactions]

This Big Man thanks you...lol

[@Study30buddy]

If you want to hear the different side of Lovebites, check "Dancing with the devil". great underrated song from them.

[@Study30buddy]

i found it kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3uqmH98ibWAe5o

[@LovebitesFanForLife]

There are two more sides to Lovebites that you need to see. The first is a really soft, slow, and emotional ballad, titled "Epilogue" kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHqke4x4qtp-fa8 It has brought some reactors to tears. The second is the complete opposite of that, their wildest and craziest roller coaster ride of a song, titled "Winds of Transylvania" which was created to be the opening theme song to an anime. In it they create some of the most interesting guitar squeals you have ever heard kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqSoZYiYlLWdnpo

[@TouchyReactions]

I'll add them to the list. Thanks

Hello again. good that you gave Lovebites a second try. was that for all the wolfpack comments? they are not indifferent to any college band. I've never been into power metal that much, prog is more my thing, Opeth:) but these girls are awesome. have a good day.

[@alearr]

That was a great reaction. Much more “real” than many others. The first one was real too, and for that reason appreciated. It’s called “reaction” for a reason, you are not supposed to have time to analyse things. For example I’m also a great Iron Maiden fan, but it takes me at least 2 listenings to really appreciate their albums. Keep on reacting, you are great! 💪🏻

[@TouchyReactions]

I appreciate that. Glad you enjoyed it.

WOLFPACK here...HOWLING...Thank you for coming back...Welcome to LOVEBITES...You have earned it...

[@gordonnottsfinest180]

All songs are sung in English but they have done one with a Japanese version called Bravehearted, it was written by Haruna (drummer) and I'd recommend you listen to both versions which in my opinion are both awesome.🤘🥁🎤🎹🎸🐺

[@rolandkarlsson7072]

Raise som Hell is a fun song. A good song to start with. Usually the recommendation is Holy War, which is a bit more demanding and makes your jaw drop lower. It is not as engaged between the band members though. Also Swan Song is often recommended. It is a kind of interesting experience. I am a bit amazed by that metal fans seems to love the piano part. Set the world on fire, which was the one you started with is (IMHO) a very good song. It is different. They had the pandemic rules for the audience though and the audience contact was zero. I think it is well worth listening to again. Maybe it will grow on you. It has some very interesting changes in the song and a very interesting (IMHO again) singing.

[@whirled_peace]

LOVEBITES - Swan Song lyrics: If this was the last day you could live on this earth Would you still go on, accusing someone for today It’s better to fail than not do anything at all It is not the length, but depth of life that counts Oh brave soldier Oh gallant warrior Valor to those who died in battle to Valhalla Believe what’s in your soul For death will come to all You shall rest peacefully in God’s Heaven Floating lotus You are so graceful Saintly and glorious Till the end of time Floating lotus You are so beautiful Sing me your sweet song The legend of the swan If you’ve never hoped, you’ve never been though despair Ignorance is bliss, it’s easier to not care You might think it’s meaningless to sacrifice a life Sometimes the life of one can save so many more Oh brave soldier Oh gallant warrior Valor to those who died in battle to Valhalla Believe what’s in your soul For death will come to all You shall rest peacefully in God’s Heaven Floating lotus You are so graceful Saintly and glorious Till the end of time Floating lotus You are so beautiful Sing me your sweet song The legend of the swan Floating lotus You are so graceful Saintly and glorious Till the end of time Floating lotus You are so beautiful Sing me your sweet song The legend of the swan ----- lyrics: asami music: miyako arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami)

[@paulread4886]

yes Wolf Pack doesn't just think Lovebites are the best metal band on the planet, they KNOW they are. lol And i totally agree with them.

[@andrewvidmar3488]

Miyako the black hair guitarist people always say is the greatest guitarist ever to come out of japan Midori is the chrissy tegan lookalike you guys should react to Asterism Dawn it is a 3 piece instrumental japanese metal band and they said the girl guitarist in asterism is either 1st or 2nd best in japan please let me know what you think

[@aquarius173]

no tattoos.. no fancy costumes.. no fancy hairs... those heels!!! :)

[@MrEd-qg8td]

Not sure what was going on but when the video was stopped at time index 18:35 Miyako isn't happy about something her left arm is at her side and not on the guitar neck she is staring at the singer. At least it looks that way.

[@paologio2976]

Just three words to say......" the're amazing."

[@georges9326]

A thumb up this time! Well done for hearing more than a highschoold band :) OK, the most amazing thing with this band is them playing heavy metal MUSIC, not just making heavy metal noise like most other metal bands. There is a serious content in their songs, Id say most bands can produce a whole album out of a single Lovebites song. The other amazing thing is how perfect they play live. Ive heard most of the world greatest bands and most are unable to play LIVE what they played in the studio. Even Maiden, Judas and Metallica have messy moments live.. I can only name ACDC and Lovebites always always always perfect on stage. Nightwish too. Its unbelievable how they play every single note, every single beat, nobody cheating with playing few notes less, Asami sing like a whole opera and everything goes in wild tempo. Next song for reaction - you can not really go wrong, but I think Winds of Transylvania or Today is the day. Just pick one LIVE. Cheers! :)

[@TouchyReactions]

Thanks for the great feedback.

[@PaleHorseShabuShabu]

Thanks for giving LOVEBITES another chance. Since there are so many worthy recommendations for LOVEBITES songs, I'm going to recommend the band was the first band that I discovered on my quest to find new music, the band that led me directly to LOVEBITES. They're called BAND-MAID, and they can be your second all-female band on the channel. They are as special to me as LOVEBITES is. They're more hard rock than heavy metal, but they have incredible energy and skill. Here's a link to the first song I heard from them, "Play," live from the Line Cube Shibuya (shee - boo - ya) in Shibuya, Tokyo. Here's the link. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aX3biZKqaduabbc

[@TouchyReactions]

I'll add it to the list.

[@CaffeineNightOwl]

the thumbs up for your previous lovebitesreaction were for your lady. 😁

[@TouchyReactions]

LOL

[@FamousGirlfriend]

Every fandom's got it's mean fans, I wouldn't bother too much, most fans are probably normal, reasonable people. Maybe THEY haven't looked at YOUR other reactions, if they had, they would have known two things: 1) You give your honest opinion of a performance, and 2) You're always ready to give a band a second chance, or even a third chance. My favourite was the first song. What I appreciate the most overall was the lead singer's lower register. I'm very tired of metal band screaming at me all the time. To each their own, but a lower register always make me happy. Yeah, yeah, high notes are cool, but singing in a lower register is actually very hard. (And to those who defended the band with stuff like "it's so hard to jump around in heels" or "classical musicians don't do that" and other bollocks: obviously you can jump around in heels. Especially the last performance is a testament to that. I even find some people low key misogynist and oblivious to what classical and modern performance artists can do. Lots of classical dancers jump around in heels; it's not like it's impossible and bands like Apocalyptica rock hard, so what, are you trying to say that just because Love Bites are women we shouldn't expect as much in that department?)

[@TouchyReactions]

Thank You Anechka

Yep.. Other song recommendations that might flex their muscles a little across the board are WINDS OF TRANSYLVANIA, EDGE OF THE WORLD, SHADOWMAKER, WHEN DESTINIES ALIGN, THE CRUSADE, MDO, THE APOCALYPSE.. Blinding stuff. Love their DVD/Bluray concerts.

[@danw6048]

I am not totally buying what is being sold in this video. The problem was not that the wrong first song was suggested - Set the World on Fire is a great song. However, I am pleased that you have recognized the err of your ways. If you are going to continue with Lovebites, I suggest Thunder Vengeance (written by the recently departed Miho) and their cover of Helloween's song Eagle Fly Free. Thunder Vengeance is on their KZbin channel and Eagle Fly Free can be found here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqCVYnt_gb-pj6c

[@TouchyReactions]

I support your skeptical view.

[@adidideen]

What you see at first video and the rest of others will be memory for Lovebites's fan because Miho (bass) left the band on August 17,2021. Miho and Haruna (drummer) form this band in 2016. For right now the band temporary hiatus. Thanks for understanding situation for this band.
