THANK YOU EVERYONE! This hit 1k at 2h55m! I appreciate it!!

[@evilvolts]

A couple other Japanese bands with female leads not all female but still amazing is "Unlucky Morpheus" and "Asterism".

[@marks5451]

👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@boyzyu]

Great reaction ! Haruna performed a 2-3 minute drum solo during some or all of the concerts in Lovebites' recently concluded "Judgement Day" tour in Japan. I was fortunate enough to see one of those shows (Tokyo leg of the tour) because they LIVE streamed it, and her solo was amazing ! Fingers crossed there'll be another blu-ray/DVD for one of those concerts.

[@user-ld9bu9rl5e]

All members are dedicated until the end of the live performance.One and only！🎤🎸🎸🎸🥁

[@PaulEMoz]

For those of us in the Lovebites fan club, Haruna has released a couple of drum cam videos from the Five of a Kind performance, and they're really great to watch. It'll be cool to see more of them on this new release.

[@fab1901]

Thank you for your reaction to LOVEBITES. I also love LOVEBITES. I do not have a reason. I had fallen in love with it.

[@ThePentagenarian]

They are phenomenal. That is my reason! LOL Thank you for your comment!

"Liar" is a rearrangement of "Just A Liar" from Miyako's former band, A Drop Of Joker Lyrics: Dr. U Music: Miyako Arrangement: Miyako/Lovebites

If you want to see a Haruna drum cam then buy the new DVD they are about to release with VOD at JPU records which will have 5 songs with an individual camera on each band member and with over 50,000 lines of English subtitles and documentary about their recent concerts.

[@ThePentagenarian]

LOVEBITES - Liar lyrics: I always thought that you were my knight in shining armour Took away my sorrow to feel I was your queen Court jester Hey I still can't believe you did this to me Exiled from our castle as you crucified me An executioner of every oath and vow of love You played me A sorcerer's enchanted spell's the iron maiden And the ruler of my heart You're just a liar A slayer of the soul Regret the day I ever looked inside of your eyes, yeah You're just a liar There's so much that I didn't wanna know But then you let me go Cause you're just a liar I'm fallen Still wondering why you'd wanna do this to me Reminded though it's tormenting my sanity now A blasphemy Nothing but a facade, a fake reality spun I wish that I could put this pain into a spell of Blackest magic on your heart You're just a liar A slayer of the soul Still can't believe it took so long to see your disguise, yeah You're just a liar There's so much that I didn't wanna know But then you let me go Cause you're just a liar SOLO: miyako / both You're just a liar A slayer of the soul Regret the day I ever looked inside of your eyes, yeah You're just a liar There's so much that I didn't wanna know But then you let me go No more Just a lie You're just a liar A slayer of the soul Still can't believe that it took so long to see Through your disguise You're just a liar There's so much that I didn't wanna know but then You let me go Cause you're just a lie SOLO: midori / both ----- lyrics: Dr U music: miyako arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) album: Awakening From Abyss 10/25/2017

[@johndreessen7335]

Great reaction. Subscribed. This song was written by Miyako, the black haired guitarist, for one of her former bands “A Drop of Joker”. Some members of LoveBites loved it much and Miyako rearranged the song to fit Lovebites. Miyako is my favorite all time musician and composer. Lovebites my favorite band at this moment. Please try “Nemophila”. Another great all female Japanese metal band. It will certainly be on your list of top bands. Thanks for this reaction.

[@ThePentagenarian]

Nemophila will be featured tomorrow with a dual drop of them and another phenomenal band - Asterism.

[@L.A55]

The choice is difficult. Lovebites and Nemophila are my favorite number 1 bands, but for different reasons.. the musicianship, artistry and vocals are world class and beyond from both!

[@ThePentagenarian]

I agree completely!

[@alekhidell]

The only choice I make is which Lovebites music shall I listen to today.

[@TomClark-Futoura]

The “Superfecta” of Progressive Hard Rock, Hard Rock Trio, Progressive Groove Metal, and Power Metal: Band-Maid, The Warning, Jinjer, and Lovebites -- all pushing their core genres into the next realm! 🤘 🤘 🤘🤘 Thx, Pent!

[@ThePentagenarian]

I tend to agree! I would add VOB as the sole representative for "Hijab Rock" as well. 😂 Thank you for taking the time to leave your comment!

[@TomClark-Futoura]

@@ThePentagenarian Yeah, but they're not pushing their genre into new realms like these four bands are. Lovebites was even questionable, but they're just so good.

[@kevinbowland4686]

They are just fire. Asami - The One and Only Voice just showing off a bit. Thrash, power, speed, etc, They own them all. Another great reaction sir. Between Lovebites, Nemophila & Band-Maid I barely listen to anything else. Thanks for supporting the band.

[@ThePentagenarian]

Tomorrow is my self-appointed "Whatever" day, so I am thinking of dropping Nemophila and Asterism. LOL

Elite musicianship.

[@ThePentagenarian]

I agree! Thank you for your comment!

[@chriso6719]

An older song, it sounds a bit different because it came with Miyako from a former band, A Drop of Joker. Originally a metalcore song called Liar, LOVEBITES rearranged it, and included it on their first album. I agree, Haruna is just a beast on the kit. I would include Nemophila, but the fan base isn't as large as the other 3, probably because not as many people are fans of the harsh vocals.

[@ThePentagenarian]

Nemophila, Hanabie and Asterism are planned for tomorrow. :-) Thank you for your comment!

Absolutely the best & talented musicians. Lovebites is one of a kind band with five of a kind musicians & vocalist. Thanks bro👍🤘

Babymetal is an ALL female song and dance group. Su Metal - Moa Metal - Momo Metal. The back-up musicians are the Kami Band.

[@Jp421JP]

@@kent-oveprestberg3578so, the original Babymetal was su Mia Yui AND the Kami band. The og kamis are seemingly no more. But it was all of them at one point.

[@785boats]

One of the most endearing qualities of these women is that they all maintain their beautiful femininity. Even though they are playing Metal. That's why I call it "Class Metal". They are all the sweetest little creatures, with such engaging personalities. When you watch some interviews, and documentaries, and posts from their own channels, you will see what I mean. Love your 'experiment'.

[@TheCyberMantis]

Yeah, they are all so adorable and amazing.

[@marting.h.9417]

I love this song so much; so melodic and soulful. I miss the piano intro by Miyako in this version, though.

@@ThePentagenarian Yeah, I've acknowledged that already with 3 stars (*) before the titles. This is just a general checklist (to be honest, just the main half) as an overview, what's up there. For both parts applies, that you can take ANY of their self-written songs or covers, and you won't be disappointed. There is effectively not a single bad song!

[@rainerzufall42]

This is what was missing: More unusual (but still very good) stuff - The Apocalypse - Under The Red Sky - Above The Black Sea - Empty Daydream - Scream For Me - Signs Of Deliverance - Addicted - Inspire - Spellbound - Dystopia Symphony - Bravehearted - Burden Of Time (must see with a special gimmick by Miyako!) - The Crusade - Today Is The Day - Journey To The Otherside - No Time To Hesitate - Pledge Of The Saviour - M.D.O. - Mastermind 01 - Paranoia - The Unbroken - Warning Shot - Golden Destination Audio only - Puppet On Strings - The Final Collision

Not a huge fan of this band but damn they are good.

for me it's LoveBites all the way, then Nemo, and Lonesome Blue, have to wait on there new guitar player, to see how it goes for them, the other 2, baby maids, not my thing.

He said on about 8:37ish "when I watch them I think of Miyako almost as cake" LOL!

[@ThePentagenarian]

LOL! I almost said "KK Downing" instead of "Glenn Tipton" and cut myself off. So, your statement is absolutely true! LOL

[@mmcpa]

Nice reaction. My take on the other two bands.... Band-Maid isn't metal, they are hard rock with some metal elements, the reverse being true of Lovebites Baby Metal isn't all female. They are an idol (female) metal (male) band, unlike the other 2 that are all female. Lovebites is pure metal at their core. I give the edge in overall musicianship to Lovebites. Band-Maid and then Baby Metal/Kami Band follow. I simply prefer Asami's vocals over the others. Yes I am Wolfpack, and Lovebites plays exactly the music I love. They take from my favorite era of metal, late 70's to early 90's, blend it together, modernize it, and nail it!! Miyako is my favorite musician ever, and I wholeheartedly believe that Miyako & Midori are the greatest dual leads ever. I have no guitar background, just piano/keyboards. No one beats Lovebites to me, ever. It took me 50+ years of metal listening to say that, and I feel they will by my #1 for the rest of my life. There are a whole lot of metal songs I love, and many bands I have enjoyed. It's difficult to explain how great they are to me. Their music, their talent, their personalities, they feel like family to me. And they back it all up with the greatest catalog/collection of songs I personally have ever heard by one band. And I say that in comparison to bands like Led Zeppelin, Opeth, Exodus, Megadeth, Metallica, Mercyful Fate, Grip Inc, Slayer, ELP, Dream Theater, and many others I have loved over the decades.

[@ThePentagenarian]

Thank you for your great comments! I would also recommend taking a look at the two bands I posted today - Nemophila and Hanabie. :-)

[@Jp421JP]

You should check out a Japanese female band Alduious. Yoshi is a beast.

[@bonered9210]

not alduious, aldious is a great band, but unfortunately they don't have a singer at the moment. members of aldious often participate in projects by former lovebites bassist miho. aldious was at its peak when singer was re:no (~2018). this year, only one live performance has been scheduled with support singer maki oyama.
