LOVEBITES / Judgement Day [MUSIC VIDEO] Reaction

[@fab1901]

In 2023, the tour in Japan will start in the summer. In an interview for a special LOVEBITES magazine project (2023), LOVEBITES' producer Sugiyama said that several bands have offered to accompany them on tour and he is considering which one to accept. LOVEBITES' international tour will start in 2024.

OMG can't wait

[@fab1901]

​​@@oldguykeith9439Thank you for your reply. I think the DVD & Blu-ray of the Japan tour will be released as a Christmas present or a Happy New Year present in the New Year. I think there will be a USA and EU tour in 2024. Be patient and wait!

The first live videos of the following songs are now available. "Nameless Warrior" (LIVE at Knocking on Heaven's Door)

Yes, the headless guitar is the bass, it’s Fami’s signature Bachuss Woodline 5AC-HL FAMI bass

Best Japanese band ever! Good reaction, dudes! Best wishes from Bulgaria, Europe!

About the ending scene of the MV This is a topic that many reactors, not just you, feel as a strange last scene. My guess is that about half of the people in Europe and the United States think, "I don't understand why this (uncomfortable) ending scene was created." But maybe 90% of Japanese people agree with this ending. I think that the national character, values, and cultural customs of Japanese and Westerners have an influence here. When Japanese people hear this Judgment Day, I think they feel that it depicts the conflict between good and evil that arises in their hearts. In that battle, there is no complete victory (defeat) for one side, and it is a theme that repeats forever and continues to fight. If you are a Japanese anime or manga fan, you might understand. It means that life is not just a story where justice always wins and ends with a happy ending. (In American comics, almost 100% of the time, justice wins at the end of the story.) ---------- from Nippon *It is a sentence using Google translation. I hope I conveyed my intentions correctly.

great reaction to a phenomenal song/mv, guys.

[@kellerfrederic1]

all fans are waiting for lovebites on a tour that concerns their country. For the moment, nothing is scheduled outside Japan.

This is my favorite song by my favorite band, and as such, is my all-time favorite song. It's my favorite solo run that I've ever heard. Miyako & Midori are the best dual lead guitarists ever - I say that and will stand behind it no matter what pair you throw at me (Priest, Maiden, etc etc). Fami's bass lines are siiiick. Asami's voice is forward and powerful, and coming out of hiatus shows she really worked on it. Haruna just slams on the accelerator and never lets up with her drums. This song never lets up. The bookends of this song are a brilliant touch, kind of full circling the story (same ending on the album). The symphonic elements are excellent, yet not over the top like so much of power metal is (to me). Great reaction. I can sit here and blame management and the record label for somehow keeping Lovebites in the shadow. I've messaged with people from Japan, and they aren't that big there either. I have lots of merchandise from Lovebites. I have 2 of Miyako's signature Orange amps (my early days of international ordering and I screwed up), have most of their CD/DVD catalog, have many shirts (Lovebites, Miyako), a Haruna sweatshirt, an expensive 5th anniversary denim jacket that again I messed up ordering and it's too small, shot glass, key chains, etc etc. I ended up going through Tenso. They give me a Japan address when ordering, so I can get anything that is supposedly only for sale in Japan. Yes, it's expensive, as the order gets shipped to Tenso (I pay that shipping fee), then Tenso charges me a shipping fee to send to Boston. Regardless, well worth it to me.

Yes they toured in Europe with DragonForce and Helstrom. Midori and Miyako were at NAMM in the States, Asami study dance in New York for several years. Hopefully they will tour in the US in 2024.🐺🤘

Some fans were concerned that LOVEBITES had chosen FAMI as their new bassist. The reason was that the videos uploaded to her channel were all J-Pop songs and she did not play metal. So they decided to title their new album "Judgement Day" and let the fans judge the new LOVEBITES by their new album. As for the last scene, I think it stems from the Japanese way of perceiving good and evil. It says, "Both good and evil dwell in the human heart. Once we commit evil, it is difficult to return to good, so we must always make the right choice." This is the idea.

Did you notice that the guitarists each use a different guitar in their dark side compared to their light side? Midori spent a lot of time in the gym and entered body building competitions during their hiatus.

[@markmathewssgbcpenaltyboxs6389]

Yes, these ladies have come back better than ever. Love it.

[@MichaelMukhoyan]

Many commenters wonder about the outro of this song. This is one of the many many Lovebites' songs that is impossible to perceive from the first hearing. Like in the best movies and literature there are several layers of meaning there, that you can find some ester eggs only after n-th time of listening. This outro in particular points out that there no full defeating of evil, that once you overcome it, you have to continue your way. That is why there is no clearing ahead of the Asami's character.

[@davidtormaschy9988]

I look at the ending of the song as a message. As soon as you conquer one challenge or fear, there is another one. The cycle never ends and the end of the song matched the beginning of it. Plus, I hope they do make it to the states sooner than later.

[@zoranbl1990]

Asami said that Judgment Day is about facing your own fears. The greatest fear that you can conquer is yourself. If you can deal with your darker side than you can do anything. Thats why there are dark and bright side of all of them in the video. Its the first song that they did for new album and deceided to do a video for it. Whole album is just amazing progressive power metal madness, with some thrash elements, really great stuff...

[@L.A55]

Metal Giddesses went next level !

[@imarumusic]

Sadly Lovebites will not going on oversea tour this year they are still focused on Japan. they are just comeback from hiatus and they seems still recovering from it and the members still have a lot of event going in Japan - Miyako have a piano concert in september (or december i forgot) - Midori she busy with her fitness competition - Fami just finish her book and her live concert in China Great reaction by the way 🤘

[@ronaldtjahya9253]

No doubt they are the best, rolling fast full throttle without brake, nice n sharp reaction thank you 👏👏 lets go for the next song, The Crusade, live, Tokyo 2021 or We are the resurrection, latest album, awesome speed 👌❤👍

[@Mrlovebitten]

If you are interested as to why the song is called judgment day hear it from LOVEBITES themselves kzbin.info/www/bejne/bobCgGN7lKyip9U and it’s called judgment day because it’s the title track and it’s a solid album from start to finish

[@zabriabubakar5982]

The BEST HEAVY METAL BAND in the WORLD is LOVEBITES.... The BEST HARD ROCK BAND in the WORLD is BAND-MAID.... The BEST ROCK METAL&COVER BAND in the WORLD is NEMOPHILA.... The BEST THREE PIECE METAL BAND in the WORLD is ASTERISM.....

[@obud3777]

I don’t think LoveBites will tour outside of Japan very soon, because Asami and Miyako had a baby last year!
