Totally right on! At age 74, Lovebites is the most talented, exciting rock band (not just metal) I've ever heard.

[@bobcieslinski]

I think you are right. They are incredible. World class musicians.

[@hiawatha.g]

Yes, Miyako plays drums decently, played brass and wind instruments as a kid, and laid down the bass tracks on the demos for the new album (before Fami formally joined). On "Phoenix", as part of her short-lived stint as one half of Sonic Lover Reckless", she recorded all three guitar lines as well as the bass line.

hi - new subscriber here - I found you as I was surfing through Nightwish reaction videos, and via you I've discovered Lovebites - and Wow, thank you - what a band! My all-time dream gig (Rammstein and Nightwish!) would now include Lovebites - like those other legends, this band is absolutely tight and together, in tune with each other in every sense, full of talent and low on pomposity, obviously loving what they're doing and therefore doing it absolutely right. Thank you thank you thank you!

Now you know why Lovebites grabbed Fami. She has the technical abilities and the speed needed to keep up with M & M. And to think she nearly quit playing music! The audition for Lovebites re-ignited her interest. Great reaction as always Bob.

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks Mr. Ed! I can’t believe she was thinking of quitting. I guess she got burned out. She is fantastic and an amazing addition to thei already stellar group.

[@joelb4530]

I always enjoy watching informed reactions from somebody who knows their stuff. That's the thing that really impresses me the most about this group of ladies.. the work ethic and and the constant quest for improvement, growing both individually and as a band. They spent the hiatus productively, have rediscovered their love for what they do, and it is paying off, and then some.

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks Joel for the kind words and yes I am really enjoying what these ladies can do and the fact that they are always working on their craft. I'm not a fan of just sitting back and coasting. You have to continue to improve.

[@nandonj3662]

Great reaction Bob!!! Yes, you're right, Lovebites never disappoints, this band plays at another level. Miyako? She plays multiple instruments, and composes most of the music: she is a unicorn!!

[@bobcieslinski]

That’s a good one she is a unicorn. Thanks!

[@mmcpa]

Lovebites is my favorite band (ever) for a multitude of reasons. Bottom line is there are 5 members who are elite level at what they do, and like you questioned, as far as I'm concerned I have NEVER witnessed a band in over 50 years of listening to metal that is chock full of such talent. And not even a Super Group can measure up to them. Their compositions are complex and layered.

[@bobcieslinski]

I totally agree with you Jonathan on all of your points. Just a special group of ladies in a special band.

[@1970Phoenix]

I confidently assert that there wouldn't be another metal band on the planet that could play the Lovebites catalogue. If any metal band wants to try, I'd ask them to start "Swan Song with Chopin Intro".

[@hiufernando7340]

Thats why we called Miyako is "The golden touch" Because she can play many instrument music.

[@bobcieslinski]

She is an another planet with her abilities. Wow!

thats very great best masterpiece lovebites judgement day classic album legendary of the world. I love great best band favorite lovebites. thank you lovebites the true heavy power metal forever 🤘🎸

[@RobinC63]

Another great reaction Bob. I appreciate how you pick up on the nuances and technical aspects of the music. Haruna does so many “little” things and you mentioned only a couple. I put “little” because they aren’t lol! Also, this is the first time Haruna has had a mic and joins in the shout parts. You can often see her mouthing the song but not with her own dedicated mic, at least I’ve never seen one in any of the live performances. I also really like the harmonies in the chorus from Midori, Fami and Miyako. Asami has put a bit more edge and grit in her vocals for this song. I can see in your background that you are a multi-instrumentalist like I am and can really appreciate what all the ladies are doing.

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks so much Robin! Yep I’ve got a few instruments and off camera is a full Pearl Drunset and a marimba. I play all of thr band instruments at school with my beginning band students too. Clarinet flutes trumpets etc. I have fun all day at work.

[@sabotto9]

I like your respectful analysis of the musicians. The Lovebites are all talented members. It is often commented with a laugh that for amateurs, the Lovebites are the hardest band to imitate. In a previous interview, Miyako said that metal and classical music are very close to each other. I like Miyako's compositions and arrangements because there is always a classical element somewhere.

[@bobcieslinski]

Yes she does out this classical elements in her songs. Thanks for the kind words!

Awesome!! You know, i have seen a couple videos of Miyako on Haruna's drums and she def has the basics down, it was older videos too, so she's probably even better now!! 😁 They did a livestream listening party on release day of the album, here is a clip for Soldier Stands Solitarily - kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5bGZpaHaNmoatU 🤘🐺🤘 It has translations of what they are writing on the boards. Miyako makes a joke about writing the song so difficult for Asami and Haruna, so funny!!

Playing their best songs in turn. But since I'm 65 years old, I doubt that will ever happen. I would be especially touched if I could get autographed photos with each of them. Keep bringing us amazing music. Oh, and yes, Miyako CAN play drums... as she writes a good bit of their music/arrangements. Also, I am pretty sure that Haruna could out stomp a kangaroo.

[@chrish9840]

Hi from the UK Bob. Have watched three of your reactions and analysis to the awesome Lovebites. This group of ladies are masters of their craft. They are described as one of the best female rock groups. I would say they are one of the best rock groups, male or female! You pick out some intricate elements of their playing, which I love. They deserve a bigger following. Trouble is, traditionally, air play normally has a time range of between two and a half to three minutes so folks don't get to appreciate longer songs. They are all beasts. Haruna, well, she is my "pocket rocket" and you are correct in saying they are all virtuoso's. I'm in! Best wishes.

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks so much Chris! These ladies are soooo good. All works class and playing in the same group. No wonder they are so good. Glad to have you in the community! Hope to hear from you again.

[@gatograto]

Yes, agreed. Midori's finger movement is so little and faint that makes her as a supersonic shredder IMO. Yes, Miyako plays drums and bass, and as you know she sigs as the second voice of the band. She is a one woman band and so is Fami. She sings, play guitar and keyboard, and write songs as well. Not as good as Miyako does though.

[@bobcieslinski]

Man these ladies are incredible. Miyako can do it all. Wow!

[@topographic1973ify]

I'm not an expert but I believe I read Midori can play keyboards too. She didn't start playing guitar until she was in her twenties.

[@salsaucedo]

I have been saying this since 2017 when I first found Lovebites with their debut song Don't bite the Dust, that the complexity and prolific compositions are incomparable to many bands of today as well as many bands of the past. The engineering and technical abilities that they have created from incorporating and infusing so many styles and genres in the variations of songs as well as in one song. Me and a friend began to call this "The Queens of Resurrection metal" Lovebites has literally resurrected the driving force of rock/metal from the mid-70s to the 80s

[@bobcieslinski]

It’s interesting that you think Miyako is the more technical guitarist. There’s an older interview with the ladies where Midori says she’s the more technical of the two. Of course, that was then, and they’ve both said that after the first album, they try to just play whatever rather than one being the technical guitarist and the other being the “feel” guitarist. And yes, Miyako can play drums. Fami can play guitar as well (check out her cover of “Don’t Say Lazy” on her channel), but I don’t think Haruna plays bass nor does Asami play guitar. I have no clue if Midori can sing, but I wouldn’t be surprised.

Hey Pale Horse, nice to hear from you again! I bet all of these ladies can do everything just at different levels. I think both Midori and Miyako are outstanding technical and melodic players. I have so much respect for them both.

Howdy. It's been a while bob. Did you know that Miyako the dark haired guitarist had released her personal album on June 22nd. It is just an amazing work. It consists of six metal covers on piano but those are more than cover. You know how Miyako plays piano damn well. Try an album Miyako, Etude Opus 23. This is one of those covers Eagle Fly Free kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5mWc3-IqJWLqJY. She also covers Far Beyond the Sun by Yngwie Malmsteen and it sounds as if it was composed as a classic piece and Malmsteen covered with guitar. BTW, the full band Lovebites also covers Eagle Fly Free kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqCVYnt_gb-pj6c. Yes, it is a great cover as well.

[@gatograto]

@@bobcieslinski Oh, great, I definitely will. Looking forward to it.

[@sadaka201]

Good song and good reaction, but not the best song. Check out "Soldier Stands Solitarily", "The Spirit Lives On" or "My Orion".

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks I’ll check them out!

I can't help wondering what Stevie ray Vaughn or Jimmi Hendrix would have thought of these ladies.

[@bobcieslinski]

That’s an interesting point Steven. Both of those guys were gods on the guitar. I can’t speak for them but I think they would be happy to hear them.

Lovebites is Japan's Metallica. They are just changing how we listen to and judge music.

[@racebiketuner]

Not the same without heels and wedding dresses...

[@bobcieslinski]

Lol

[@fredalbrecht986]

Miyako Only plays real instruments On demo's. She doesn't feel it's right to play Computerized Programs On demo's. 'Doesn't feel it sounds real. She likes to keep it as realistic as possible..

[@bobcieslinski]

That’s pretty cool Fred!

[@ivarsandersons882]

my name is Fami not femi

[@bobcieslinski]

Yes Fami

[@garykeeling2275]

Miyako can play drums, but unlike the guitar and piano, her drum skills are very basic and rudimentary. There are vids of her playing drums, and she's by no means a virtuoso on them, lol! Average, at best, I would say. Not terrible, but nobody would sign her as a drummer. That's okay, though. She can't be god-level on every instrument she touches!

[@bobcieslinski]

Lol give it time and I bet she becomes god like on drums too.

[@jay_g1984]

Well, this is definitely not Adam Ant. 😆

[@borisketou3177]

I'm tired of Miyako worshippers. As far as talented she is, she's nothing without the rest of the band, this is the alchemy that makes Lovebites so great and unusual. Those constant remarks about Miyako playing this and playing that are so disrespectful for the rest of the band.

[@jamesgreen5431]

Did you not watch Bob's analysis? He praises all of them and especially Haruna whom most gets overlooked. To be fair this is a Miyako composition so some worship is justified here.

[@bobcieslinski]

Hi Boris, Oh man these ladies are all so talented. It's not just 1 player here who is the stud player. All 5 of these ladies are superstars and that is why this band is one of the best all around groups I have heard. period. Anyone who thinks this is a 1 woman show is not listening or watching.

[@bobcieslinski]

Hi James and thanks! yeah Haruna is a beast back there and the things she does really lays a nice groove down for the rest of the band. But wow man all of these ladies are superstars.

[@boyzyu]

I understand where you are coming from. When Miho left, Fami replaced her and the band is now at another level. However, I would argue that Miyako is irreplaceable. If she leaves, Lovebites will never be the same again, and they'll be significantly worse for it

[@bobcieslinski]

@@boyzyu it would be hard to replace her talent for sure.
