Episode 0: Interview with Rosana:miho Part 1 | THE HEAVIER JAPAN

[@WavePotter]

Great way to kick off! Very interesting interview. Keep up the good work!

[@TheHeavierJapan]

Thank you for your kind words!!

[@billozzy5760]

She may be gone but she will always be in my heart as a member of Lovebites....and I'm always glad to see her and that she's well and have good time...

[@killerpeaches7]

So happy to see Miho out and about, looking happy. Will forever miss her with Lovebites, but look forward to whatever she ultimately does do next. So much Metal attitude and love for the genre. And a killer tee shirt collection!

[@TheCyberMantis]

So nice to see Miho again! This was a great interview! Miho is looking beautiful as always! 🥰🥴 I am glad she is staying busy with her music projects. We want her to be happy doing what she loves to do. I look forward to Part 2 of this interview! Thank you Miho! ☺

[@vectorifix3218]

Superb interview! So nice to see Miho again. Was very sad to see her leaving Lovebites. Big thanks for translations. I'm huge fan of Lovebites, PassCode, Nemophila, Raise A Suilen, Wagamama Rakia etc etc. For female driven rock & metal lovers like me, Japan is a heaven! Great bands. As a guitar player I've wondered what they have in their drinking water - the amount of skilled female rockers they have there is tremendous. For example Lovebites, full of superbly talented musicians whose live playing is flawless, absolutely flawless. Keep them female rockers coming and thanks again for this interview!

[@TheHeavierJapan]

Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment!! Glad you enjoyed the interview. We're not necessarily specializing in female rockers, and we do plan to feature male musicians and bands too. But we'll definitely feature more female rockers in the future too, so hope you'll stick with us til then!!

[@1105yamato]

確かに…。日本はどんな小さな楽器屋さんの貸スタジオでも、ちゃんとしたドラマセットも機材も揃ってますからね。楽器屋さんとしては宣伝になりますし、初心者としても良いアンプやドラムを使って練習出来るのは有り難いですからね。重い機材をわざわざ持ち運ぶ必要が無い。この辺が近年、日本で女性だけのバンドが急激に増えた理由の一つかも知れませんね。MIHOさんの仰る通りだと思います。

Awesome to see MIHO happy and getting back into metal. If she finds her motivation to start a new band, it would be an instant success. 🤘😁🤘

[@TheCyberMantis]

From our perspective, no need to "start a new band" when you are already in the best band. But something wasn't right, and she had to leave. We certainly hope she finds what she is looking for. We wish her all the love, success, and happiness.

Will always admire, respect, adore, precious Miho. I was stunned, disappointed, when she left Lovebites, but wish her every happiness, success. Lovebites is my favorite band, all time, all genres. Miho created Lovebites, so will be ever grateful to her. Have to say, I also admire, adore, Fami, the precious young lady who replaced Miho with Lovebites. I hope Miho keeps in touch with her former band mates in Lovebites. I think they really love her, did not want her to leave.

[@Hadesillo]

I am glad to know that the fires of metal are burning stronger in her heart, I would love to see her having fun on a stage and see how her taste as a musician is developing. I'll continue keeping attention to Rosana's career. Knowing that she loves games too I wonder if she enjoyed the Guilty Gear soundtrack when she was young. During those early stages of the internet here in Barcelona the only japanese content that we got were games and some animes, so this music was certainly my first contact with japanese metal music when I was a teenager, around the time they were doing Guilty Gear X and XX. I say this because of the Dreamcast Miho's story, that's where I found the music. Still an excellent music still to this day.

[@exDemonius]

That was very interesting. Now I'm waiting for the second part of this interview. Miho is so cool musician! Her bass playing is amazing. I like her headbanging during performances. She is so alive. Thank you for this interview. I hope you will make more interesting stuff on the channel.

[@funnyrailroadcrossing2767]

interesting interview, nice to see Miho again

[@paulb2092]

When Miho speaks of stage presence, we're hearing it from an icon of stage presence. Miho standing there with her instrument, leaning forward, was one of the most powerful and also one of the sexiest symbols ever seen. I think a lot of her fans, including me, wondered just what went on in the background of her leaving Lovebites, so to see her so positive, so involved, and looking into the future was a real relief.

I found Miho's thought interesting that the big wave of Japanese All Female Metal Acts was - at least partly - because of the clubs being equipped with basic gear unlike in Europe and the US. I remember Miyako saying something similar about the most striking difference performing in Japan vs. Europe/US.

[@coldburrito5818]

@@indra-qw1bz that's a good comment 👍

[@andreaspedersen3952]

I have a hard time seeing her returning to Lovebites again. The girls have commited to getting a replacement, and it would very possibly be a permanent solution. Especially since they have invested so much into getting a good replacement. The only thing is that if it wouldn't work after a few years, and the bassist deicides to leave the band... ...and Miho wants to join them again.

[@coldburrito5818]

@@andreaspedersen3952 yes, I agree with you but there have been many cases of bands reuniting in the original formula after years and years of being separated. Let's not forget that when it comes to Miho we're not talking only about her skills in bass playing, it is more about her exceptional talent in song writing. That's hard to replace and that's what I'm gonna miss the most.

[@Chris2323518]

@@coldburrito5818 To me it sounds like she wasn't happy with Lovebites anymore, when you hear her talking about Japan Metal being all about flashy use of instruments and she wished for more stage personality, then I think she don't want to criticize Lovebites in general but it shows that Lovebites evolved in a way where she wasn't feeling entirely home anymore. I really worship Lovebites and all they do but it seems Miho's ideas what a band should be about changed over the course of the years and are now different then those of the other members of the band. I am looking forward to anything new from her and I am sure I will love it, but I am also sure it will be vastly different then Destrose or Lovebites.

Great interview so far! Love Miho gets really deep into her past about what got her into music. One might have suspected it was anime that got her started. 😆 Especially knowing her love of anime stylized video games. Looking forward to part 2, but also Miho's DDS involvement, and potential new band in the future... 😊

[@junkgroovejunk]

1:38 Oyama maki-san, Yoshi-san, Saki-chan, hina-san SAKI and Miho get along so well that Miho calls SAKI-chan. Yoshi is a kind person, so I think Yoshi wants to let Miho know that friends are close to her. And I would be happy if they played Carmen Maki & Oz-崩壊の前日）"The day before the collapse of order".

[@gitterich]

Miho and Saki are not only great musicians, but also have a very pleasant good character. And like most smart people, a very good sense of humor. Miho, Captain Mina, Joshi, Eye, Mari and Saki are still young women. Despite this, they are already the legends of the Japanese female heavy metal scene. Great people and great role models for the young musicians to follow, I admire them all.

[@andretogol]

🤘🏼🎸Good Job for the future Miho🤘🏼

[@gitterich]

I love Miho and Lovebites more than any other band in 25 years, but a few serious words must also be possible from time to time between friends : All of the great rock bands of history have enjoyed enduring success and later fame because of their exceptional musical characters. The different types and characters and the friction they create in their work within the band resulted in the extraordinary and ingenious song material. If you are a mature person, you have to realize this over time. The result is then that you realize that you can never avoid arguments in the long run, but also the realization that you always have to make peace afterwards in order to continue successfully. This not only applies to music, but also when doing business or politics. I think that all 5 women still don't understand why Lovebites is such an extraordinary band and why the fans like them and their music so much. But least of all, Miho understood that. Miho still hasn't understood what a capable and great bass player she is. She let the techies talk her down (fans and professionals) and probably blames Miyako. --- Miho and Miyako you are the congenial duo of Lovebites whether you like it or not ! ! ! A new bass player is just around the corner, there's no turning back. Still, I would recommend Lovebites to get Miho back on board somehow. It would pay off. But making that decision takes self-confidence, cleverness, imagination, determination and great courage. To Miho: 5 cans of beer a day, being offended and a huge ego don't help and will also have a harmful effect in the future. To all LB women: If you don't understand what I mean now, promise us to think about it again in 3/4 years. Maybe then the penny will drop... To Lovebites Management : Don't blame Miho for this interview and the resulting discussions! It's good for us fans, for future Lovebites projects it's all positive. I know you Japanese concrete heads don't get it, just trust me...

[@metaku397savionburnette6]

Looking back at it I saw a comment on Miho IG post when she was in Lovebites saying you would give yourself the boot . “That comment predicted her leaving the band as a band leader which Back then I thought that wouldnt happen but now crazy one comment was predicted event

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

Great interview!!! So glad you chose Miho as the first guest. Maybe it is in part two, but the biggest question everyone wants to know is "Why did Miho leave Lovebites?" I hope you asked her that question.

[@metaku397savionburnette6]

Well I doubt they going to ask that question because It be a sort of touchy and personal question to answer her for me I don’t really care for finding out the reason why she left.I would assume she wanted a break from music as full time business and do it like a paid hobby.

[@PaleHorseShabuShabu]

I'd bet $20 on them not asking that question.

[@dino.mozardien]

She gives hints that she loves more groovy and heavy metals just like the songs that she wrote for Lovebites🤘 What do you think when she's talking about more technical and flashy songs?

[@kellerfrederic1]

If I'm not mistaken she said during her farewell that she wanted to change her professional career and to go somewhere else than music. This interview shows that this is not the case. The reasons for her departure we will never know because if she told the truth it would displease the Lovebites fans.

[@PaleHorseShabuShabu]

@@kellerfrederic1 In her official goodbye post, she said, "Due to changes in the environment over the past few years, the relationship between artists and music and the way they express themselves has been forced to change." That's as close as she gave to her reason(s). A day or two before the announcement was made, she tweeted, "Today is the anniversary of my father's death as an ambulance. I still feel lonely after three years. I wondered if I would have been trying to save lives in this Korona-ka if I had lived well. Thank you to all the medical professionals who are fighting at the forefront." That's almost certainly not a 100% accurate translation, but it's close enough and is as close as I've seen to her wanting to change her profession which, to my knowledge, she hasn't done.

[@kevinstreeter6943]

Saki is in another project. She is the busiest guitarist I can think of.

[@junkgroovejunk]

I think that Saki-san has a high level of guitar playing skills and is a person who is trusted.

[@kengo7273]

The reason why there are many talented female musicians in Japan is they are free in the society. They can do and try whatever they want. There are no stereotypes such as the drums are something men do.

[@namikotzengtr]

I'm Glad Maki Oyama be part of 5 great musicians in new music project, hope always succes for Miho and friends

Thank you!!

[@ericsaari2901]

Truly hope Miho remains in the music scene and finds exactly what she wants! She was a big part of Lovebites and will be missed. Regarding KZbin views and western exposure, I found Lovebites only due to reaction videos on KZbin, and only recently. Likely would never have known of them otherwise. Most of these reactions are older too - 1-2 years ago. I have been trying to get popular vocal coaches and musicians who react to music on bigger channels to react to them, but for that to happen, it seems like the distribution company needs to stop blocking them and allow monetization for reactors, and view reaction videos as free marketing. They should also stop deleting and reuploading Lovebites videos, because some of them should have had millions of views by now, but don't, because they keep getting reuploaded and are not gaining momentum in the algorithm. As for western exposure, literally anyone who is into metal, and many who are just into good music, who hears Lovebites, instantly recognizes the talent on display and most become immediate fans. They are very popular, and rightly so, in very small, aware, metal KZbin circles, and very limited word of mouth. They won't get played on the radio (at least here int he US) for a host of reasons I have complained about to myself, and agreed with others on YT, as regards other foreign artists of all genre. I had never heard of Nightwish either, until only a year ago, again due to KZbin reactors. The best way for western exposure is Wacken (which they have done, and should do again), and a tour with a really big band (they have done it with Dragonforce in the UK). For the States, they would have to open for a really big metal band to get the exposure and traction they need. It is a very challenging hurdle to do that. Even Nightwish tours here in the States at really, really small venues, and I only just heard of them, and saw them the first time this year.

[@TheHeavierJapan]

Eric, thank you for taking the time to send us your thoughts! I totally understand what you are saying and it's very unfortunate that many of the Japanese labels and publishers are still doing business in the past. Japanese companies as a whole are slow at adapting to the fast moving world and the record industry is not an exception. The Japanese record industry hasn't been very successful in promoting their artists outside Japan as they are caught up with domestic marketing in an old fashioned method. That said, the HEAVIER JAPAN was created to support talented Japanese artists to get their name outside Japan. We hope to assist such artists and get them the global recognition they deserve. We still have a long way to go, but we hope we can make a change.

[@ericsaari2901]

@@TheHeavierJapan I hope so too! I would love for Japanese music to get more exposure over here. It is well deserved. I know now to search YT for the best music in the world, as I have only been doing that for a year but found so many great things. Unfortunately, most new things come into my YT feed as reactions. I think it is just the way the algorithm works. Not many official videos from bands I haven't heard before, but many new reactions. I will have to start following more channels like yours that promote a variety of bands. Thank you for doing that! Also, while I am trying to go to Japan, I hope Lovebites tours over here!

Miho is always interesting. Good interview, though the questions were a bit standard.

[@TheCyberMantis]

The one question we all want answered, is the one question we can't really ask. But I am very happy just to see her again. It was a nice interview.

🤟😵🤟 I hope "DOWN DOPE SQUAD" becomes a permanent band ⚡

[@metalfriend6110]

@DE•MON★TAR 🤟 Yes, but I Hope they become something more Than that.

[@junkgroovejunk]

Interesting idea. But I think Miho will choose a different member. Miho said, "I want to find new members," so I'm looking forward to it.

早くLOVEBITESに戻ってきてほしい。LOVEBITESは今もオーディションをやっている とは思いますが、やはりベースはMIHOさんが一番しっくりきます。 ずっとLOVEBITESを推している人間としては、LOVEBITESにMOHOさんが居ないのは悲しい。 やはり、MIHOさん含めた5人でLOVEBITESだと思います。

[@BAND-MAID-USA]

Pretty sure the very 1st question should have been. So Miho, why did you leave LOVEBITES?

[@TheCyberMantis]

That is the one question we are not really allowed to ask. Maybe one day we will find out, but not for awhile. Victor-E let her out of her contract. I'm sure part of that deal was to not discuss any details publicly.

[@BAND-MAID-USA]

@@TheCyberMantis it's funny she says she left to do more of her own thing and music. Yet she's in bands doing cover songs.

[@TheCyberMantis]

@@BAND-MAID-USA That would be a clue.

[@TheCyberMantis]

@DE•MON★TAR Nah. I will never get over it.

[@buccanero]

Should have asked about her time in Destrose, Coma Countess, Moth in Lilac and Estrella.

[@buccanero]

Why not?

[@Chris2323518]

I guess Miho wanted to talk about her present musical endeavors more then about the past. I can understand that.

[@Homenutt]

Finally she appears to be indirectly addressing why she left her own band!

[@jamesnix078]

She's cute... and beautiful.
