Hey guys! Anyone interested can check out our LOVEBITES Reactions Playlist, HERE: kzbin.info/aero/PLzwQo9bDDsIwILFYsT7NBEg82n5W2inFp Enjoy! 🙏❤

[@evilvolts]

The song always reminds me of Vixen streets of paradise

[@GarageYears]

The surprise for this song (obviously excepting the stunning piano/vocal intro) is how perfect the harmony vocals from Miho and Miyako are in the chorus. Miyako's high echo of Asami's lines in the second part are perfection. I wish they used this more - I'm sure Fami has the vocal chops to carry this now - let's be honest, what can't this little firecracker do? 🤘🎸🐺

[@myindieprodentertainment]

Yes, the backing vocals were more noticeable here than potentially anything we've heard from LB thus far. Sounded fantastic! Thank you kindly for taking the time to view and engage. Much appreciated!🙏

[@outwest1014]

Music - Miyako. Lyrics - Asami One of the best songwriter teams anywhere.

[@BulletProofSoul1029]

This is a beautifully written piece that show cases the immense talent of these ladies bring. You can never discount how different English is from Japanese when it comes to cadence and mouth shape for certain sounds (like no "L" sound in Japanese, so making that "luh or la" sound where your tongue flicks the roof of your mouth is not natural, and why it sometimes sounds like and "R"). Anyway, that just shows how much work they put into creating those beautiful harmonies and Miyako's "echo" of Asami. You'd never know English isnt their 1st language if you heard this blind. Then the music itself flows so perfectly with the music, the whole piece feels like an operatic journey. I love this band.

[@susanfitzsimons2384]

One of my favorite LB offerings. It has everything that this band's insane talent shows off especially LIVE. Miyako's piano, Asami's bluesy vocals, gang vocals and perfect background vocals, M&M dueling and harmonizing guitars, Miho's great bass line and of course Haruna's great kit work especially on the cymbals. Proof once again you can't put these musicians into one genre alone. Honestly there is nothing that they can't do LIVE, well maybe Rap but I wouldn't bet against them ever. BTW great reaction and analysis to the song as always, once again Asami's vocals and lyrics have sucked you in!!!

LOVEBITES - Empty Daydream lyrics: Memories I can’t erase still haunting me Silently you stare with cold, empty eyes Falling down Breaking heart A growing addiction Just let me go away Just let me go my way Just let me go, I won’t become a doll you control I’m losing sight of me I’m losing sight of you I’m losing sanity and I don’t know how I will go on Nothing new, pretending not to know the truth Rendezvous, without emotion or heart I won’t show how weak and sad I am inside Even though I know it’s just silly pride Empty room Endless rain The end of a daydream You never call my name You never feel the same You never make me feel like I deserve any love I’m waiting for the dawn I’m waiting for the time I’m waiting for my bleeding heart to heal, so I can go on SOLO: miyako / midori / miyako / both Memories I can’t erase still haunting me Silently you stare with cold, empty eyes Falling down Breaking heart A growing addiction Empty room Endless rain The end of a daydream Just let me go away Just let me go my way Just let me go, I won’t become a doll you control I’m losing sight of me I’m losing sight of you I’m losing sanity and I don’t know how I will… You never call my name You never feel the same You never make me feel like I deserve any love I’m waiting for the dawn I’m waiting for the time I’m waiting for my bleeding heart to heal, so I can go on ----- lyrics: asami music: miyako arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) album: Clockwork Immortality 12/05/2018

[@wampabites]

A painful song about a girl moving on from a (possibly) abusive partner... in this case, the Beat It riff isn't there by chance (or what Lovebites haters see as plagiarism). It means EXACTLY that: Beat it, get lost, f**k off. It's the anger, the attitude overcoming the disappointment and heartbreak. Yes, Miyako is a genius.

[@L.A55]

I believe the intro by Miyako is Rachmaninoff.. absolutely amazing song..

[@runelund5600]

You two guys have a great reaction channel, fun and interesting to hear your little ping pong competition with analyzing the lyrics, Lovebites speaks for themselves, an absolutely great band one of a kind, and Asami what can you say only ❤❤🌼🙂. Greeting from Denmark.

[@myindieprodentertainment]

Hi there! Thank you for the kind words! We appreciate that! Definitely some ping pong here, but no real competition. We just enjoy a good discussion and "deep dive" into song lyrics. We do the same with films, but it seems no one is interested in watching that. Lol. Agreed on Lovebites. We are running out of ways of saying how magnificent they are and how much we love them. They are truly amazing! So, it is nice to dive into their lyrics, where appropriate. Glad you're enjoying our discussions. Thank you for taking the time to view and engage. MUCH appreciated!🙏 Greetings from Israel and Australia!

[@marcinpopawski8199]

The main riff in this masterpiece is very similar to REO Speedwagon _Back Again On The Road😎 ❤️🎤🥁⭐️🎸🎸🎸

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

this

[@noelle3551]

When you said that Asami and Miyako alone would work, they have a video of just that performing "rising." It may be worth a visit if you want to see it!

[@Glynthepin]

At first I thought your reaction was going to be nothing more than two blokes nodding their head for the entire video. Fortunately, you paused and discussed what you were hearing and the meaning of the song. Good to see you discuss the lyrics and their meaning. Thank you for your reaction and review of Empty Daydream.

[@JFrancoDrums]

I absolutely love this song, everything about it, especially the way the solo section comes in, love that bridge! 🤘🐺Awesome video guys!

[@BryanPedersen-vd6gy]

That riff sounds like a section of Michael Jackson’s beat it but it also sounds like REO Speedwagons Back on the road again.

[@marks5451]

Interesting and detailed analysis guys. I believe the "Beat It" riff was written by Eddie Van Halen and performed on the Jackson tour by Jennifer Batten. Both are influences listed by Miyako who wrote the music for Empty Daydream. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@reddnizz2231]

I think the riff is influence from Back Again On The Road by Reo Speedwagon...

[@pometele]

that riff is from Beat It, but is the section before Eddie's solo. But in fact, it appears even earlier, in the song Back on the Road Again, by REO Speedwagon. It appears on the album Nine Lives from 1979, three years before Beat It (1982).

[@endosuleiman2335]

the riff of Beat It was played by Steve Lukather of Toto, EVH played the solo but Reo Speedwagon played that riff back in the late 80s.

[@kevinbowland4686]

Just an elite band. Midori & Miyako, SMH..it's not fair to others.

[@miceandmen]

I really liked this song, what a beautiful piece of music, and what a beautiful voice. Thanks for showing me this :)

[@chrisnieschburg4676]

Great reaction. This song has Andy Taylor meets Queensryche vibes to me. 😂 Like another reactor said, Lovebites' music is a love letter to the 80's.

[@tonym480]

Much as I love their 'heavier' numbers, I could wish for them to do more like this. This song highlights the strength and talent of this band. Not a single bad moment from them, everyone of them at the top of her game.

[@ericdarlington2332]

❤❤❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🐺 Miyako !!!💗

[@1970Phoenix]

Just another masterpiece. I did enjoy your reaction - definitely one of the more informed and thoughtful reactions I've heard.

[@gedhall]

I get the nod to Beat It, but for me the main riff puts me more in mind of Back on the Road Again by REO Speedwagon.

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

same

[@ericsaari2901]

I love this song. It isn't often reacted too, and it is very beautiful. Miyako's piano opening and Asami's soulful voice. Asami has such a rich voice, and it is sometimes surprising just how much. The lyrics are great too, as are the vocal melodies! One of my favorites.

Great observation guys. This song was brilliantly composed. 🤘👍

[@marting.h.9417]

I just love this song, it showcases Asami’s vocals and the piano intro by Miyako is great.

[@faintsmile88]

Wonderful 🐺 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🤘

[@ricardo__jr]

The riff is from "Back on the Road Again" of REO Speedwagon, wich is big in Japan.

[@boyzyu]

Great reaction ! Miyako's piano intro is Rachmaninoff's "Moment Musicaux Op. 16 No. 4 in E Minor". The main riff you heard on this song is derived from Michael Jackson's "Beat It". Jennifer Batten was MJ's session guitarist who performed with MJ on all 3 of his world tours in the '90s. Batten is one of Miyako's guitar influences and she composed & arranged this track that included a derivation of that main riff as an homage to Batten. If you want to hear more a cappella from Asami, check out "Liar" LIVE : kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4irgZmkf99lp80 .

[@northof4912]

Taxes, death and creepy-oneband-Bo!

[@boyzyu]

And there we have @north... or whatever. The common stalking troll who : (1) labels Lovebites fans as "old men who obsess over young women". Talk about creepy. (2) who is now a confirmed troll because he is banned/blocked from a reaction channel for trolling activities. (3) who aligned himself with the most hated troll amongst the Lovebites community. Birds of a feather... (4) It's obvious intelligence is not one of his traits. See ya ! Actually, I should say - happy surfing ! 😂

[@northof4912]

Ah Bo, ever wonder why you attract so called “trolls” - ie people you’ve pissed off? 1). You are proof of the “old man obsessing”… 2). Why do you lie? Never been banned on a channel - I’m still on that channel, introducing the reactor to new genres of music. You? Never seen again, once your obsession was done. 3). I align myself with someone else because we are both on the same comment section? That’s kind of pathetic Bo - people just independently really don’t like you. Maybe come to terms with that, instead of blaming everyone else. 4). Bo shows a low level of intellect by insulting intelligence. How’s the shallow end of the gene pool treating you? Keep up the good work FG-Bo! Attacking and pissing off people because they don’t embrace your obsession…..

Again, great reaction, great analysis. Thank you for reacting and supporting Lovebites, the most talented ladies in metal

[@fab1901]

Thank you for your reaction to LOVEBITES. That's a good impression. Thank you for your continued support of LOVEBITES. Art is inheritance. "Moments Musicaux Op. 16 No. 4" by Sergei Rachmaninoff (Rachmaninoff) is incorporated into the prelude. Miyako added this piece to the prelude to Live in 2019. Miyako has also composed several other classically-inspired compositions, incorporating a fusion of metal and classical music in the introduction. The song "Empty Daydream" has a similar vibe to Michael Jackson's "Beat It" in parts. I thought so too until I heard the following, which was pointed out in other reactionary content on LOVEBITES. Reo Speedwagon "Back On The Road Again" released in 1979 (KZbin channel "JoseCotdino"). However, in the case of Love Bites' "Empty Daydream," I believe it was influenced by Michael Jackson's "Beat It" (released in 1982) performed by JENNIFER BATTEN. Miyako later said that one of her Top 5 guitar heroes is Jennifer Batten. Art can be passed down. In "LIVE IN 2019" I prefer the addition of piano to the prelude of this song. Also, Miho&Miyako's backing chorus was very good on this day.

[@RobinC63]

I always like your insightful analysis on your videos. You sure went to town on the psychoanalysis and I loved it. I liked that you picked up on the fact the solo section was more of a trio than just a duo.

[@duncan.5228]

Wow ! I understood the mood of the song, but you both Really fleshed it out. Great reaction.

[@MistyShea-q7e]

Wolfpack visiting.

[@vojtechondryhal]

Beautiful song, excellent review.

[@rubenrada3493]

Intro Riffs: Beat it Ending Riffs: Dirty Diana The Michael Jackson's Influences In Miyako are very Strong.

[@repobob]

Yeah, the beat can just Beat It when you can't figure out where it comes from. Hint, I wrote the title of that song in this comment 😉

[@myindieprodentertainment]

Yes, we worked it out after the recording. It's actually written on the screen at the point we talk about it. Thank you kindly for taking the time to view and engage. Much appreciated!🙏

[@repobob]

Rule of thumb, never comment on a video within 30 minutes of waking up or you miss the obvious writing on the screen 😆

[@myindieprodentertainment]

@@repobob What's strange is how such a hugely familiar and well-known beat or riff can was just on the tip of our tongues, yet we could not work it out while 'Empty Daydream' was still playing in our heads. Lovebites are so awesome, they made Michael Jackson (momentarily) disappear 😉

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

Sounds more like REO Speedwagon's On the Road Again which came out before Beat It. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqfEaZSMf61rq6c@@myindieprodentertainment

[@pometele]

That riff appears in REO Speedwagon's song Back on the Road Again, released on 1979, three years before Beat It. But I guess MJ made it famous.

[@obud3777]

The riff is from Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” written by Edward van Halen 🎸🔥🤘

[@furryfreak3431]

Maybe that or REO Speedwagon's "Back on the Road Again".

[@boyzyu]

@@furryfreak3431 One has to wonder if EVH had some "inspiration" from "Back on the Road Again" when he composed that riff for MJ...

[@furryfreak3431]

@boyzyu EVH contribution to MJ's song was just the solo. Not the riff. The song was pretty much done when EVH was asked to do the solo. He talked about it later. It's on KZbin somewhere.

[@boyzyu]

@@furryfreak3431 The interview was on cnn : kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYDFapyHp8yfnZI . EVH didn't just compose the solo for MJ, but he also re-arranged the whole song for him. As such, he probably needed to re-arrange that riff to blend into his solo. From that perspective, you're probably right. So the correction to my question is if MJ had some "inspiration" from "Back on the Road Again" for that riff...

[@CrYou575]

Your breakdown of the relationship aspects reminded me of a song and artist that I don't think you've ever reacted to. It's a French song called 'Je suis malade' performed by Lara Fabian (not one of her own compositions in this case, although she writes as well). kzbin.info/www/bejne/mofZnaCmpJqab80 If it leads to you reacting to the amazing Kazakh singer Dimash by a series of connection then I'll be even more pleased.

[@CrYou575]

BTW. You might have been thinking of Michael Jackson 'Beat It' in part of the riffing for 'Empty Daydream'.
