I just saw LOVEBITES live in Los Angeles last night. Best show I've seen in YEARS. Everyone was on FIRE and I even got a little misty-eyed during the show because they were just SO DAMNED GOOD! I took my two 20-something kids with me (they love metal and we've gone as a family to shows like Symphony-X, BABYMETAL, Dethklok, etc.), and even though they hadn't ever really listened to LOVEBITES beforehand, even my kids were crying a little from the joy of seeing and hearing such a fantastically good band. The entire band seemed so happy and excited to be playing for us and the crowd was INTO it. Singing along, chanting with Asami, thunderous applause and cheering for the solos ... all with love and respect for the band and each other. Some seriously amazing memories were made last night and my kids STILL can't stop talking about the show. Please, please, PLEASE come back to the Los Angeles area as soon as you can. Your recordings are phenomenal, but it's your live show that is truly mind-blowing.

Ive always been a fan of Heavy Metall, Rock and Rythm and Blues. My first was Love Sculpture and Deep purple, got to Jethro Tull, Led Zepplin, Black Sabbath, Kiss and Iron Maiden. And thats just the beginning. Over the years there has been alot of good bands and ive heard most of them. Ive just Discovered Lovebites after a short run in with BabyMetal. And i must say, OMG, is this realy possible. The speed, the energy and the harmony, i just cant get enough of it. For me its like Dragonforce and Iron Maiden had a mixer and made this beautiful but powerfull sound. To all the members of Lovebites i say "Thank you For the music", for giving it to us all. I do hope you come to Norway in the future, and ill be there to watch your show. Raise some Hell, and keep the party going.🤩

I can only agree with you. i went to my first rock concert at the age of 8. taken there by my brother. it was Deep Purple. since then i learned to love rock and started to listen Pink Floyd, Genesis ( with peter gabriel ), Supertramp, ... and little by little i came to metal ... Iron Maiden, Metallica, Judas Priest, Megadeth, Tristania, ... Symphony X, Nightwish, Dream Theater, ... and in 2019 I accidentaly discovered Lovebites. The song was Shadowmaker. what a gift of god i received. I now have all their albums. and saw them 2 times live. they make me so happy each time i listen to them.

@Droops245 ай бұрын
Glad you enjoyed it!, but I respectfully disagree. To my ears, their "Five of a Kind" concert, had BY FAR, the best live recording/audio mixing of all their concert releases to this day. Even the crowd audio chants were recorded during the heavier transition breakdown which adds the extra layer of awesome. The subtlety of Midori's and Miyoko's guitar playing was better captured, such as their pinch harmonic squeals. Even the backing track with Miyako's piano also was blended in better and can be much easier heard; such as the ending riff where she harmonizes with it. Their 2020 performance was just as "on point" as this recording, however I think Asami's voice has more clarity/punch in mix (due to the better audio capturing) I can certainly agree "Presentation wise", their new concert aesthetic is improved with fog, better stage design, and more balanced lighting. Their new outfits are killer as well. Just my throwing 2 cents for the very little its worth because I personally think their live audio engineering has been inferior starting with their "Heavy Metal Never Dies" concert release. Still will be buying this on Blu Ray; Terrific band!

昨日1/26に福岡公演に行ってきました。 ほんと泣けました。 オープニングナンバーの Glory to the Worldが始まると涙が止まりませんでした。 Break the Wallのミヤコの泣きのギターでも鳥肌が立って涙も溢れました。 LOVEBITES ETERNAL PHENOMENON TOUR at Zepp Fukuoka (2025/01/26) ◆ セットリスト ◆ ( 「* 印」は最新のEP II曲) 1. Glory to the World 2. Unchained* 3. Scream for Me 4. Soul Defender* 5. Paranoia 6. Judgement Day 7. Break the Wall 8. The Bell In The Jail* 9. The Unbroken 10.Dystopia Symphony 11.

自分は小さいころからクラシックを聴いて育ったのでmiyakoの作るヨーロピアンなクラシカルメタルは彼女の幼少期からのクラシックの造詣の深さを強く感じます。自分はクラシック>=メタルだと思っているのでメタル特にlovebitesの音楽性が大好きです。しかし、最近のUnchainedやsoul defenderは、今後最大の音楽市場USを意識しているのかを感じさせます。もちろんこれらも好きですが、初期のEdge of The Worldやshadowmakerは感動し涙が出ます。今後のlovebitesの新曲が楽しみです。

I love the fact that they kept those feedback-whistles at the beginning of the song in the recording. Otherwise you could hardly tell this is live. Other than that, the audio and video is flawless as usual with Lovebites, as is the performance of all the musicians involved. Miyako-san and Midori-san are so perfectly in sync it sometimes sounds like one guitar. So are Haruna-san and Fami-san. And I know this is not just post-production, because I saw them perform in Lindau this June and witnessed with my own eyes and ears how precise they play on stage. I also love how they live up to their own lyrics: "Success does not come with a few empty tries"... Imagine the insane amount of practise that must have gone and continue to go into this level of playing!

True enough. I was at this show and had a great time. And yet, it IS a bit sad that this wonderful band still seems to have such a small fanbase outside of Japan that they can't play big, epic shows like this one abroad. That's why we, their fans, should try as best we can to help them get more recognition in our countries. Just recently I wrote an e-mail to the staff of German Metal Hammer magazine, alerting them to the release of the new EP and BlueRay - for whatever that's worth. Perhaps they will write about them in one of their next editions. Wolfpack, time to rise to the occasion!
