Every time I listen to Empty Daydream and Epilogue, every cell in my body is filled with beautiful vibrations, NICE. 💕

[@hiawatha.g]

Welcome back to Lovebites. Two more showcases for all of them but especially Miyako. For those who think they are just about relentless speed, here is proof they can reach right into your soul. Thanks for checking these out.

[@davidhersrud5139]

2 tear jerkers for sure 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺

[@jmetallover]

2 of my favorite songs that really show off the talent in this band. Love Miyako's "Gary Moore" playing as he was an influencer while she self taught herself to play guitar at 18. If you want to see them together and really appreciate the M & M show try Signs of Deliverance LIVE or We the United LIVE. Watch how they harmonize at insane speeds while picking and sweeping, perfect like a Vulcan mind meld !! Great reaction and glad you are feeling better.

[@KyleM636]

I ❤️ Lovebites soooo much dammit 🤘😍🤘 Every song.... EVERY SONG.... is just pure gold to me. They are all so talented!

[@jay_g1984]

First you heard Miyako play Chopin, now Rachmaninoff. She's just an incredible musician. There is no mistaking Miyako's Dean guitar tone.

You make a Lovebites video, I click watch.

[@ericsaari2901]

I love them so much! The talent. Every song is so amazing, but like you said, to be at a show and have something like this come out of nowhere after fullforcinnit would be quite the thing. The chorus in Empty Daydream with the vocal harmonies is beautiful, as was that beginning. That guitar harmony in Epilogue is unreal. The tone like you said, but then Midori comes in a bit lower and it is perfect.

[@ChrisPage68]

Empty Daydream is a gut-punch EVERY TIME. 😭

[@stewartmurdoch4394]

miyako is the one with the high harmony vocals. another of her many talents. a truly gifted musician. love the channel

[@kielanuar213]

Lovebites, what else they can't do.😆(joking). always amazing.. yet, another favorite, isn' it? hahaha. Epiloque..it's a beautifull ballad rock song, thanks 👍👍🤘🤘

[@jprules2578]

With Epilogue, I cannot hear Miyako without absolutely hearing Gary Moore, that tone and vibe is SO much like Gary.

It's worth taking the time to watch your reaction.🤘😊

[@noelle3551]

Every time I hear this opening piano piece it reminds me of Brahms!! I am sure there is a classical influence in this but man it sounds so beautiful and transports me away on the aether!!

[@evilvolts]

they also do the back up voices on Burden of Time as well as Miyako's playing keyboard and guitar at the same time during solo.

[@markoviitanen2671]

They actually do it a lot, that they come together in the center, and play together. You just have listened mostly the ones they don't do that. You'll see later ;)

[@marting.h.9417]

Thanks for all of your reactions to amazing Lovebites. Music is a very subjective matter. In my opinion, these two songs showcase Asami’s vocals, her R&B, soul, jazz background. It also showcases their musicianship and versatility. My next suggestions are “Scream for me”, “Don’t bite the dust”, “Shadowmaker”, “Raise some hell”, Above the Black Sea”, “Under the red sky”. All live.

[@polski21twelve70]

Naww Bra, welcome back to you. Every song feels like the "first time" just in a different position... If i could only do one thing this year; it's to attend Fami's live com'n out party. This is as close to 🐺WOLFPACK🐺 envy as it get's. I know I don't have to ask, to anyone that goes, PLEEEZE vid and post as much as possible.. MUCH ✌❤🙏🐺WOLFPACK🐺 POLAND

I tried. I tried SO hard. Those tickets are all within a Japanese-only signup lottery system. I had some help from someone in Japan, but I still couldn't get a ticket out of any of the lotteries I got into. It would then have been a matter of actually getting there, and I'd have to cross that hurdle haha, but I figured first, let's see if I could even get a ticket. Heartbreaking! I want to go so badly! Love this band so much!

[@MissLoonasSpeech]

I think it is safe to assume that at least one of the two shows in March will be recorded and released on DVD/Bluray later on this year. They did it in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021, so why shouldn't they do it this year? It's the perfect occasion to present the new album and the new bassist live!

[@polski21twelve70]

[@HorrorMetalMaestroRedrusty66]

Sigh, well, I failed again. First time I heard Epilogue I cried like a baby, I've tried listening to it when I'm happy, sad, angry, distracted, bored, half asleep, hungry, too full to move, interrupted by reactors and even in physical pain. I still start crying. And this time was no different.

Good to see you doing lovebites reaction video again thanks, this 2 songs really give me emotional with the lirik,and the melody are so good

[@wildething7923]

As almost everything has already been said I will add, I have 2 bands, at the moment, that are on my bucket list, Lovebites and The Warning. I have to see those 2 bands. I hope they come to the UK soon.

[@markmathewssgbcpenaltyboxs6389]

Epilogue is my favorite E song. Love the acoustic then Miyako going to piano then Miyako makes her Dean cry oh so beautifully. I disagree with you on Asami's voice, I love it in this song, I feel she conveys a lot of emotion with it.

[@RobinC63]

Great reaction again. They didn’t switch up the timing, it stays in 4 the entire time. The whole feel changed due to something quite simple. For the first part Haruna hits the snare drum on 2 and 4. In the section you mention she simply takes away the hit on 2 and only does 4. Such a simple but highly effective change. I really love the lyrics to Epilogue. The opening with acoustic guitars and then piano is great. That little bluesy run that Miyako does was unexpected but greatly appreciated. She’s amazing she switches from instrument to instrument so easily. There will probably be people who jump on me for this, but I really don’t like the ending. I know what they were going for but it’s just too abrupt, especially for a song that is so heartfelt. “Fullforceinit!” Times new word of the year lol!

[@rainerzufall42]

"Love the song you sing, sing the song you love!"

[@zeplica2004]

miyako is just the most talented musician out there now

[@alfredtorres2188]

so is Midori

[@TheCyberMantis]

As much as we all love princess Miyako, it's kinda hard to make that claim. Gotta respect the old wizards: Jordan Rudess, and Michael Romeo. If you combine talent and beauty, then certainly Miyako wins.

[@danw6048]

@@TheCyberMantis I agree. She is still young. Jordan Rudess started before she was born and Symphony X released their first album when she was 4. However, If you compare her now with where they were at 32 years old, she might be right there with them.

[@TheCyberMantis]

@@danw6048 That was my point, yes. I have said many times, I see Miyako following in the footsteps of Romeo. Both in terms of songwriting ability, and skills on her instruments. The wizards are legends. Lovebites will be the next legends. The goddesses will join the wizards, and the circle will be complete.

[@Gurra88]

She's very good but there are guitarists that can sweep the floor with her. Jeff Loomis and Marty Friedman come to mind. I love Lovebites but I would never say they're the best in the world like some fans do. That just screams simp. Her composition skills are impeccable but her lead tone is sort of weird to me.

[@evilvolts]

they stand next to each other on Signs of Deliverance,We The United, Spellbound to name a few

[@davidmiera8858]

Agree on the ending. The rest is amazing imo. 🤘🏼

[@marks5451]

On the album Epilogue ends with the guitars just fading out. Midori's solo at the end was an arrangement for live performances. I hate fade outs so I welcome this version.

[@salsaucedo]

They do have a couple of songs where Miyako and Midori go up front and center and blow everyone's brain and melt their faces with some amazing work. I will add them next month on Patreon buddy

[@renclaude8331]

Try not to cry while listening to Epiloque......... Cries anyway.....

[@allenhuling598]

Awesome that you finally got around to these two awesome songs.....and I don't know about you, but for me it sure gets hard to rank that word, 'favorite,' the deeper one goes into the rabbit hole! I love it all, but that middle section on Empty Daydream really draws me in every time, and yes, Miyako's switching between instruments so flawlessly on Epilogue is just pure class! Think maybe that the ending of Epilogue could be a small homage to Jimmy Hendrix? Get well soon...cheers!

@@endosuleiman2335 This clip of "We the United" features video-footage from at least three different concerts (though most taken from the 2020-performance) which makes it a bit confusing to watch.

[@polski21twelve70]

3 things, 1) Freddy Mercury is thee stage presence GOAT.. If he held court , ASAMI has a seat at the table.. 2) I think the key to their guitar harmonies is their bends. HOLEE MOTHER OF PICKLES.. that takes wayy more than practice. This band is special. Very few people get to experience future absolute monster legends. a part the small fraturnity. Beatles, Elvis, Sinatra, few others. WE- WOLFPACK are very fortunate to experience this from jump street ; in real time.. I would never think; in a generation or 2 , we get to say: "I WAS THERE MAN!!!""

[@TheCyberMantis]

I agree. Not sure about Freddy tho. Hard to say who is the GOAT. Many legends out there.

The guitar part(s) of Empty Daydream where they get into the verses always make me think of Dream theatre.

[@andrewlaird9496]

Man she is not even singing in her 1st language, love to see you composing and singing in Japanese (dont think so!) Asami is incredible in the way she phonetically is able to sing in English (on all their tracks) she is phenomenal!

[@Cheezyxyz]

100%

[@Mrlovebitten]

Epilogue is a ballad song it’s not power metal or thrash so the vocals are perfect for the song. Asami wrote both the music and lyrics and the lyrics perfectly fit her R&B background as it’s an (E)-motional song so that is my one critique

[@Greg-om2hb]

MIYAKO is more animated and has more interaction with MIDORI in this 2017 video from London, of their first full overseas concert. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gn-8fZJjobp_rtE

[@CaffeineNightOwl]

tastes are different. I always love asamis beautiful, pure, powerful and yet vulnerable voice soaring above this glorious music, also and especially in "epilogue". now you got four big lovebites songs in a row. how about a reaction to the new songs "judgement day" and "the spirit lives on", to see how they even have improved?

[@the_eaglefan]

Nice reaction. Do you do voice work? You seem to have one of the most calming voices I have heard on youtube.

[@Cheezyxyz]

Thank you!

[@Captain_Kirk116]

Great to have you back, Cheezy! The ending to Epilogue in this performance is different than the studio version cuz that version just fades out at the end. I feel like these 2 songs showcase Asami's vocals well cuz she is in her comfort zone. Both of these songs are from my favorite album of theirs, Clockwork Immortality.

[@alekhidell]

First reaction of yours where I think you missed something vital, and with which I have to totally disagree. Having said that you weren’t keen on the softer, slower vocal section, you then sat through Asami pouring her whole being into the section that begins “just the way you are”. It’s nothing like the first section and positively oozes emotion. Asami has said that she sings every song as if it’s the last time she will ever sing, and if you watch every single song of every single live performance, she does exactly that. Nowhere is that more apparent than in Epilogue. If you notice she’s not on stage when the song ends. Granted, when she comes back for the second of the three encores (Epilogue being the first) she has shed her jacket and is as lively as ever, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised if she had to compose herself first. So, although you aren’t criticising her, or her singing, I get the impression that you switched off from her vocals after the first guitar solos. Weird ending? Simple…it fades out the whole Clockwork Immortality album with a reprise of a melody that is played acoustically on “Addicted” to open the album. Miyako at her fiendish best.

[@TheCyberMantis]

You get it. I get it. Not everybody gets it. ( This dude obviously missed it. )

[@thedocofrock1890]

2 songs in particular are some of the best midori and miyako side by side guitar solos. ' signs of deliverance' and 'we the united'. don't see either in you video bank : signs : kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWfSh5l5r9eofrM we the united : kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6PEfqmJlpuEipY

They are not singing all the same, call and response in Empty Daydream is done by Miho and Miyako, and harmonizing vocals with Asami is only done by Miyako, she has mezzo-soprano range!

[@Cheezyxyz]

Yeah, I love it! 🤘🤘

[@RobinC63]

I went back to what he said and he said “they’re NOT saying the same thing!”

[@rikosborne1212]

Something I've gleaned from "Empty Daydream", something I've never seen anybody else comment on, is the emotional picture the song presents, lyrics vs. music. The lyrics are somebody calmly and rationally ending a relationship, laying out her reasons in a clear, reasonable manner. But then the guitar solos are chaotic and angry - showing us what is really going on inside: severe emotional turmoil. I could easily see this as a song about trying to leave an emotionally abusive relationship.

[@lianshadowmaker7834]

I "hate" this Epilogue song, always makes me cry😭

[@rainerzufall42]

The slowest songs in a double pack. I personally prefer "Epilogue" over "Empty Daydream", but that's probably a question of taste...

[@douglydooright4580]

Warning... Now I see why Dany likes to listen to Japanese metal. I think some of it has rubbed off on her already.

[@mythsteps1]

The ending of Epilogue is a bit of a segue into Don't Bite the Dust which immediately follows. There is a vid with both songs (don't have the link off the top of my head) and hearing both makes the ending less jarring.

[@Cheezyxyz]

Thanks for the info

[@dregeye]

@@Cheezyxyz literally 3 seconds after Haruna hits her snare to end "Epilogue" she is across her 'toms' pounding the band into a classic gallop, the song they have played at every performance (afaik), "Don't Bite The Dust". A fantastic, upbeat musically & lyrically, Miho song, before taking us to Hiroshima 1945 with "Under The Red Sky" to end the show. imo, these concert performances tell a story, song to song to song. It is unfortunate that 'reactors' like yourself limit viewing to one or two, usually not in setlist order. Whole shows are exceptional on another level from individual songs, in many ways. An athletic event with 5 artists performing in collective virtuoso-synchronicity while changing performance style to suits each song individually, adding to a 'story' of near 2 hours in length. Plucking a single song out of that will never 'tell the story' being told. It is but a 'chapter' without context. Aren't we lucky that those 'chapters' are 'worthy' on their own? Daughters of the Dawn includes both these songs.
