Anyone who says all Lovebites' songs sound the same doesn't know what they are talking about. Lovebites is probably the most diverse heavy metal band I have ever heard.

[@4thArmoredVet]

Who says that? Certainly not anyone who knows music composition. Anyway, who cares what non musicians say.

[@maxmaidiac2237]

@@4thArmoredVet DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT IS THE ATTITUDE THAT LOVEBITES HAS TOWARDS NON-MUSICIANS? I THINK YOU ARE COMPLETELY MISSING THE MESSEGES IN THE LYRICS, ATTITUDE, AND EVEN THE MUSIC ITSELF. DON'T LET A 14-YEAR-OLD TRIGGER YOU. DAGON LORD DOES NOT STAND UP TO LOVEBITES ABUSING REACTORS. (YES, THEY EXIST AND POSERS KISS THEIR BUTTS)

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

@@4thArmoredVet I've read it some people's comments in other reaction videos. It usually comes from people who don't like power metal because they say it all sounds the same. They dismiss the band based off of 1 or 2 songs.

[@4thArmoredVet]

@@maxmaidiac2237 NO, THAT'S MY ATTITUDE TOWARDS PEOPLE THAT BELCH BULLS#!T WITHOUT THE SLIGHTEST BIT OF KNOWLEDGE

[@sipke9485]

And don't forget Haruna killing it on the drums

[@bishopsteiner7134]

god, it's such a minor thing but every time she starts with the Zil Bell accents (like when the chugging guitars started ) my ears just geek out. Just can't get enough of these ladies. Still hella sad Miho felt she had to move on though. But hopefully we'll end up with more great music from Lovebites soon, and wherever Miho decides to land in the future.

[@arnaldotanta3630]

As always. 🤣🐺🤘🐺🤘🐺

[@pablomg9742]

Miyako is the whole package....master pianist, GOAT guitarist, unreal composer....and she sings too !!! COME ON !!

[@thedocofrock1890]

the harmonies are rare - this is their best imo. first the call and response and then miyako just nailing the harmony after that. just more LOVEBITE awesomeness

[@dragulia_venaro]

the other one is from the studio live performance : "Burden of Time"

[@thedocofrock1890]

@@dragulia_venaro yeah - other than midori shouting the refrain in break the wall and raise some hell burden of time is the only actual harmony i have heard her do

[@obud3777]

It’s Miyako singing the high notes over Asami’s vocals!

[@xtzvonne6919]

At the beginning of the year 2021 Miyako moved to a bigger house (probably because she already knew about her pregnancy at that time) and she built a new home studio in that house. She presented it on her YT channel Miyako Metal TV. In those programs, she told that Midori had visited her and they practice especially their harmonized playing in the studio. And yes, you had reacted to the other song, where they sing harmonized quite a lot: Burden of time, studio live version. In that song also Midori sings along.

[@ricdale7813]

Itsuka TV also has some of that Miyako home studio footage on her page. For reference Itsuka is a known and band guitarist and singer before opening her own Production company. She is good friends with Miyako,Marty Friedman and a ton of other acts.

[@ricdale7813]

This song showcases their vocal abilities. All of them sing well. They are so very dynamic on their instruments but their layered vocals are astounding. My hope is these Women write more Multiple vocal piece just like this. The riff is Almost Beat It as well as Whitesnake and that era Metal. Very Familiar and Haunting Piece which is nothing but pleasant.

[@obud3777]

A Love letter from Miyako to Sergei Rachmaninov 🎹🤘🎸🔥

[@kielanuar213]

My favorite song too & very catchy. Sound so clear & crispy. Miho spectacular & unique bass run. M&M..no need to say, seeing is believing the awesomeness'. Harmonise vocal are better than some pop artist..unbelievable! Thanks for this reaction guys👍👍🤘🤘😍

[@gatograto]

Miyako actually is the second voice of the band. She harmonizes pretty much in other songs too but they all are suppressed in the mixing.

[@marks5451]

I enjoyed that reaction with you and love it when LOVEBITES sucker punches. Never quite know where they are going with the tempo - soft and slow or fast and furious. Love it. 🤘🤘🤘🤘👍👍

[@Kotiboxi]

Absolutely the best piano intro I've heard. Really skillful playing, like the sound of water 💔👍 I too can imagine Midori and Miyako sitting together on the sofa at home practicing these solos together.

[@hiawatha.g]

Thanks for checking this out. As you have seen, they seem able to capture emotions that most metal bands can't even dream of. One of the signs of their brilliance is that you often feel like you've heard their songs before, even though you haven't.

[@Phoenix-ci7ix]

Thanks for your reaction 🤘 Phenomenal Lovebites.... just can't get enough of them. Waiting for them to come out with a bang. Miho and Miyako are the main harmonisers in this particular song but I have seen Midori doing the same in several songs. Miho was the main harmoniser when she was in Destrose and Miyako being a brilliant musician does everything with ease . These goddesses are just amazing and phenomenal musicians. 🤘 Glory to Lovebites! 🤘 🐺🔥 Miho! Miho! Miho! 🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🔥

[@marting.h.9417]

Well, I’m lost of superlatives to describe Lovebites. I have purchased the Blue-Rays of their concerts “Daughters of the dawn”, “Five of a kind” and “Heavy metal never dies”, and de DVD of “Wacken Open Air” (included in the “Electric Pentagram” CD); quite expensive (including shipping to Mexico) but definitely worth every penny (Amazon Japan delivery service was excellent).

[@zeplica2004]

they practice between 20 -40 hours a week together.

[@kiyoneg1580]

It's my favorite song. Miyako is a genius musician. She plays piano, guitar, sings and composes.

[@takecham5155]

And she's on her way to becoming a great mother.

[@L.A55]

It's not "taken from" Jackson, it's inspired by.. .the opening intro on piano is Rachmaninoff.. Amazing Lovebites..Queen Miyako n Midori !

[@lumagalante4031]

Miyako disse em uma das entrevistas no programa musical "Rock Fujiyama", na TV japonesa comandado por Rolly Teranishi e Marty Friedman o quanto admira a guitarrista Jennifer Batten, que acompanhou os tours de Michael Jackson entre 1987 e 97. Estes riffs são um tributo à Batten, segundo Miyako.

This is my favorite track from an album that’s a true masterpiece, Clockwork Immortality. These girls are flawless.

[@GrayFox14]

You did a reaction to LOVEBITES "Burden of Time" at the beginning of the year. In "Burden of Time" also the backing vocals of Midori, Miyako and Miho harmonize with Asami's lead vocals🤗

[@PaleHorseShabuShabu]

Miyako and Midori were on a web series called Rock Fujiyama where they sat next to Marty Friedman and listed their top five favorite guitarists. One of Miyako's favorites is Jennifer Batten, Michael Jackson's live guitarist for most of his solo career. This song's riff is a bit of a tribute to her and a take on "Beat It." On my meager channel a couple of Instagram clip compilations of Miyako. In one video she plays "Beat It," and in another video she plays this song's chorus on piano.

[@alekhidell]

There is planet earth where feeble humans play with bits of wood and steel strings and then there’s planet Lovebites. Due to the speed of light, those images have taken several thousand light years to reach us. That’s the gap between Lovebites and ANY other band. Ever.

[@Biebsaltvofficial]

So good my friend thanks for reaction to lovebites

[@emymanco3544]

I would like to see both of u react to ' break the wall'. Super thrash metal song by lovebites.

[@thewatcher3561]

Finally got around to this song of theirs 😀 This always sounds like a bit like an 80's rock ballad to me. Miyako said once in an interview that Midori goes to her house (where she has a fantastic looking setup btw ) a couple of times a week and they practice their songs and sync. This can be seen in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4anenp5q99ljpI Miyako is said to be a very very good piano player to the point were she has done classical recitals, that now plays rock 😀 Great Video and reaction as always! Love-Stick 🤣

[@garykeeling2275]

The opening riff gives me two strong vibes. The one most people mention is Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean," but for me, it most strongly resembles REO Speedwagon's "Back on the Road Again." Once they get into the verses and switch to that slow, languid and slightly discordant chording, it starts reminding me of Visual Lies-era Lizzy Borden. On the harmonies, Miyako does the high notes.

[@whirled_peace]

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 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)

[@allenhuling598]

Great song, again!! Good to see you two appreciate it as much as I do!

[@luisfernandomunoz6315]

Great reaction! Asami harmonizing with Miyako's piano playing is also another favorite part of the song. Edge of the World and Epilogue are another 2 songs which may be part of the letter E trilogy. Coincidence? Or was it planned by Lovebites. I would love to watch them perform the 3 songs acoustic in this order. Peace and Lovebites!

[@Gaban-Force]

One of my favorit song from Lovebites

[@CaffeineNightOwl]

miyakos greetings to rachmaninoff and EVH. and then these mesmerising vocal harmonies ... they are so much more than "just" a power metal band.

[@PaleHorseShabuShabu]

EVH? What does this have to do with Eddie?

[@CaffeineNightOwl]

@@PaleHorseShabuShabu I believe, Eddie played the guitar on "Beat it" ...

[@PaleHorseShabuShabu]

@@CaffeineNightOwl He played the solo, but one of the guys from Toto played the main hook. Miyako likely wrote this as a tribute to Jennifer Batten, one of her favorite guitarists and Michael Jackson's live guitarist for over a decade.

[@CaffeineNightOwl]

@@PaleHorseShabuShabu I believed, Eddie composed the iconic riff and the solo. JB for sure didn´t.

[@PaleHorseShabuShabu]

@@CaffeineNightOwl I didn't say Jennifer wrote the riff. As far as I can tell, she only played in Jackson's live band and only from the Bad tour onward. Eddie wrote the solo and asked Quincy Jones, one of the producers on the track, to rearrange the song so he could play the solo in the key of E.

[@jimilgenfitz6998]

Harmonies abound in this band.....vocally as well as instrumentally! Thanks for this one, guys! 👍💖

[@christopherturner6989]

You've done 2 of the 3 E songs, now in my personal opinion the third Epilogue is by far the most emotional and epic song. Up there with Swan song and a frozen serenade.

[@lateagain9289]

AMAZING!!!!🐺

[@andrewlaird9496]

Can we just recap here?? Asami is Japanese, her first language is Japanese and yet she can write/sing these lyrics in perfect English. Now imagine being British and writing and performing a song in Japanese that is so meaningful and presentable to a Japanese audience, that in itself is absolutely mind blowing!!! Best band on the planet right now.......period!!! Lovebites are unique!!.

[@parisiennemoonlight6650]

Been listening to Rock and Metals from 1989 and as a guy I have no qualms in saying that currently my best and favorite bands in the world are Band Maid and Lovebites. Never thought I would like female bands more than guys but hell talent is not gender specific.

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

Midori and Miyako are the best

[@meteorrunner]

I loved this show because it has some of Miyako's clearest and most frequent harmonies. It's a shame she doesn't do them as often now. Even in Five of a Kind she does noticeably fewer harmonies than in Daughters of the Dawn, and fewer still in Ride for Vengeance. Not sure if it's a preference thing or she's pushing herself more with guitar. Whatever Whatever reason, I miss her harmonies.

I love watching you guys do reaction videos for love bites that’s exactly my reaction when I first l watch and listened to them so more power to you both

[@nontask78]

The riff really is kind of reminiscent of that of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean". But for me personally, the coolest part is Miyako's riff during the second part of the second verse. Pure joy to my ears.🤘🐺🤘

[@CaffeineNightOwl]

beat it?

[@PaleHorseShabuShabu]

It's a take on "Beat It," not "Billie Jean."

[@jackbristow432]

If you want to hear a riff this is a *lot* closer to than "Beat it," search for a song called "Akuma to Tenshi no Kiss" which was a song from "Bubblegum Crisis 4" I'm not saying Miyako even knows the song, let alone borrowed from it, but it's a lot closer than "Beat it."

[@morrykaz855]

こんにちは😊 この曲はmiyakoさんが日本の昭和歌謡をイメージして作った曲のようです。ある雑誌のインタビューで言ってましたね。
