Imagine being able to master two instruments by the age of 30. I'm 57 and barely have learned the mastering of buttering toast.

[@JBletizef]

She also knows how to play drums, bass and I believe other instruments. She is phenomenal, they all are but her (Miyako) especially.

[@user-of2fz1wi9x]

She also can play bass and drums. Pretty awesome and talented.

[@ahodori-dl5hz]

The Chopin piece Miyako (guitar/keyboards) is playing in the intro is "Etude OP10, No. 12" known as the "Revolutionary Etude." In 1831, some officers and citizens rose up against the Polish government, which was under the de facto control of the Russian Empire, in what was called the "November Revolution" but ended in failure due to the direct intervention of Russian troops. Chopin received this news during a performance tour. He never set foot on the soil of his homeland again. When the Russians invaded Warsaw, Chopin's agent presented "Etude OP10, No. 12" in Paris. Because of the agent's exaggerated publicity, people called this piece "Revolutionary Etude. Miyako composed "Swan Song" based on this "Revolutionary Etude" and Dvorak's "New World Symphony. Asami (vocalist), a former ballerina, wrote the lyrics based on the historical background of "Revolutionary Etude" and inspired by Norse mythology and the ballet suite "Swan Lake. "SwanSong" is a requiem dedicated to the warriors who fought to reclaim their homeland, a masterpiece that only LOVEBITES could complete.

[@BulletProofSoul1029]

It's fitting you called them "one of a kind" because this performance is from the concert DVD called "Five Of A Kind".

[@03acerider]

Miyako is a musical prodigy! Thank you for your support of my favorite metal band! Lovebites!❤🤘🏼

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 through despair Ignorance is bliss, it’s easier to never 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 SOLO: miyako / both 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 SOLO: midori [guitar] / miyako [piano] ----- lyrics: asami music: miyako arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) album: Electric Pentagram 01/29/2020 ------

You gotta Love the Contrast that Lovebites brings into Metal. Most Western folk expect their Metal Chicks too have tat's and Skimpy Leather outfits. Enter Lovebites with their Grand Ballroom Athena Goddess outfits and Complete Class Act. They are a one of a kind. Truly Exceptionally gifted Women kicking down doors in the Music industry and with Authority.

[@metalmark1214]

Lovebites are the metal queens. Glad you did this version, having lyrics and the best mix. Next I'd recommend A Frozen Serenade 2021 LIVE in Tokyo with lyrics

[@outwest1014]

The Etude is difficult to play as it is left-hand dominate. Many teachers use it so their students work their left-hand. The fact that Miyako is playing it from memory is Mind-Blowing in itself. The other thing Miyako has never taken guitar lessons.

[@1970Phoenix]

How many musicians on the planet could do what we just watched Miyako do. My guess would be not very many. Anyway, this song is a masterpiece.

[@seanherskowitz5998]

I’m 57 years old and they are the best pure metal band in the last 40 years … Queensryche came in 1983 and now Lovebites are the best

[@jawosammadennhier7062]

To me, it still is _surreal_ , that Lovebites actually exist and perform, in our generation. You are right: Unreal skills. Any other band would be happy to have at least 3 amazing musicians. Lovebites have 5 of them, multi-talented, 2 of them being music _prodigies_ (Fami and Míyako). Something _amazing_ is happening in front of our eyes. Music history in the making.

[@kevinbowland4686]

Immensely talented band. 50 yrs of listening to metal and they have eclipsed all my previous favorites.

[@jawosammadennhier7062]

I still love Iron Maiden and Helloween. But you are right: LB developped an incredible speed of lining-up, developping technically, and (now) touring internationally. As if their time has simply come.

[@jprules2578]

Same here.

[@boyzyu]

"Swan Song" is composed & arranged by Miyako (lead guitarist/pianist extraordinaire at stage left). This track is a neoclassical metal masterpiece which you can hear motifs from Romantic-era composers Chopin (intro, main riff, solo) and Dvořák (chorus) throughout the song. To experience another track that showcases how truly talented this band is, check out "Edge of the World" LIVE : kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4vNqYCgd9Sjbdk .

[@alekhidell]

Look at a swan…..it’s a floating lotus. You’ve hit pay dirt with LOVEBITES. They are the pinnacle of music. I adore them.

[@GarageYears]

Another masterpiece from Lovebites, that I think is in the same class as Swan Song, is "A Frozen Serenade" (live) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5aboYSMqpKFhJo 🤘🎸🐺

[@mmcpa]

This is a pure example of a masterpiece.

[@hiawatha.g]

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 great classical composers, specializing in highly technical works for piano. "Etude" is French for "study". Chopin's Etudes were written as "studies", or lessons, for his students. They ended up being popular things for professional pianists to play as part of their concerts, in part to show off their skills. This is one of the more famous ones and is considered one of the most difficult ones. 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 (quite obviously) an elite-level guitarist. She particularly likes the Romantic Era classical composers like Debussy, Dvořák and Chopin, as well as her stated favorite, Russian romantic composer 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), with a passage by Rachmaninoff as the outro. For this performance, she actually played the Etude as the intro, but it’s not normally included in their shows.

Thank you for your reaction to LOVEBITES. Even white costumes can be dyed in many colors with colored lighting. LOVEBITES' songs incorporate various metal genres, and the lyrics and songs have many different aspects, so the white costume makes sense. Thank you for your continued support of LOVEBITES. P.S. The main principles of the band presented by Miho, the founder and first bassist of LOVEBITES, are as follows. ①Heavy metal (basic policy) ②All English lyrics (strategy for global expansion) ③White costumes (Most metal bands wear black costumes, and if these short girls wore black costumes, they would be hidden, so they wear white costumes to contrast and stand out.) ④High heels (to compensate for short height) Miho also thought about the visual effects on stage. Asami(Vo) will modify stage lighting effects etc. on-site. For white costumes, each person requests their preferences and ideas from the costume staff.

[@susanfitzsimons2384]

These ladies are one of a kind...... forget ladies these musicians and this band are one of a kind. Miyako has been classically trained on piano since age 3 and then self taught guitar at 18 (she also plays drums and bass or frankly anything she wants to). Want to see even more insane talent?? Then try Frozen Serenade LIVE piano, acoustic guitar, bluesy vocals, M&M guitar fest and even ballet dance steps from Asami.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXbNf2qads1npc0 These petite women will NEVER disappoint but they will often SURPRISE, welcome to the Wolfpack (fanbase) and the best new band to come along in a long time.

[@triradial]

There are so many things to admire about this composition and performance but few people comment on the driving drums.

[@sonnynguyen9103]

Chopin pronounce “sho- pan”

[@evilchipmunk4090]

he was born Polish. Chopin absolutely embraced the French, and their pronunciation of his name, and even accepted French citizenship, but he lived half his life elsewhere (including his entire education) before moving to France. many people insist that there is only one acceptable pronunciation for his last name, however he lived his entire life considering himself to be Polish. there are absolutely two legitimate pronunciations of Chopin, and one of them is very dissimilar to "sho- pan", as you have described it.

[@tonym480]

Chopin, Show - Pan (just saying) A Polish composer known for his piano compositions, many of which are considered amongst the most technically difficult to play well. Often assigned as practice pieces for students of the classical piano.

[@4thArmoredVet]

The Wolfpack loves you Jamie! 🙏🕊&❤
