Lovebites - 'Rising' Reaction! - These solos were awesome!

[@shadzyg]

I apologize for my original comments about their stage presence. I didn't realize they were all in heels at first which makes this even more impressive 😆

[@stand.and.deliver.5]

And Midori, the blonde guitarist, even runs across the whole stage with her heals in other songs. The bassist jumps up and down. And Asami, the singer, typically jumps off her riser with the final note of the last song at their shows …

[@shadzyg]

@@stand.and.deliver.5 I'll need to watch more songs then for sure!

[@maxmattt]

With their new stage outfits they're no longer in heels.

[@shadzyg]

@maxmattt ooo I'll check out some newer stuff! I was also informed they do move around more just depends om thesong and that their concert was like 2 hours long 🤣

[@evilvolts]

Thanks for the shout out and reaction Welcome to the WolfPack you have been Lovebitten ]:)

[@enmigo1496]

congratulations, you have just discovered the best band on the planet ! 😀 metal + grace + elegance + beauty + sympathy + great musicians + great songs = LOVEBITES !!!

[@shadzyg]

They were so for sure very good and talented! Can't wait to check out more 😁

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

No need to compare Lovebites and Band-Maid, they are both amazing bands but they play two different genres. As for their stage presence, this is the wrong song to judge how much energy Lovebites shows on stage. They move around a lot more on their other tracks. This is also one of their slower and softer songs. Lovebites is a power/thrash metal band whose songs are typically much heavier than this. Check out The Hammer of Wrath next, live. Here's the link to the correct video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnnViIWKZa-Yl8U

[@shadzyg]

@ChadTheDragonLord oh no I didn't mean to compare I worded that wrong for sure 😅 it was more just a lot of band maid fans said I should react to this one! I'll check it out thank you 😁

[@marting.h.9417]

Welcomed to the mind-blowing world of Lovebites. These Japanese women are extremely talented, skillful and exceptional musicians. Some people say that they are breaking the walls of stereotypes in the metal scene. Asami used to sing R&B, soul and jazz before she joined the band. Miyako (black hair guitarist) is primarily a concert level classical pianist. Those twin lead guitar solos by Midori and Miyako are already legendary, in just seven years. Their main influences are Metallica, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Helloween, Angra, Slayer, Deep Purple, Yngwie Malmsteen, Pantera, Dokken, Gary Moore, etc., but they have been developing their own and unique style. Miho (former bassist and founder of the band) once said that they wanted to play as heavy as men but keeping their femininity. They toured Asia and Europe in 2018-2019. They toured the UK in 2019 opening for Dragonforce. Miho left the band in August 2021 and Fami was hired in October 2022. They have about 60 songs in their catalog. They just finished their 2024 European tour. This song is kind of a standard metal tune but with an uplifting and positive message. Their concerts last about 2 hours so imagine wearing high heels and trying to move around all the time. For heavy stuff I recommend “The hammer of wrath”, “Judgement day”, “Set the world on fire”, “Thunder vengeance”, “MDO”, “Break the wall”, “Shadowmaker”, “When destinies align”, “Winds of Transylvania”, “Above the Black Sea”, “Under the red sky”, “Holy war”, “Scream for me”. For a different side of them: “Chopin etude + Swan song”, “Liar”, “Glory to the world”, “Frozen serenade”, “Empty daydream”, “Edge of the world”, “Epilogue”, “Spellbound”, “Dancing with the devil”. All live

LOVEBITES - Rising lyrics: Failure or pride? The fear deep inside Success doesn't come with a few empty tries Fortune and fame, seem easy to claim But those who've succeeded defeated the pain Why give up on a life that you love? Play the game with no shame till the very end RISE AGAIN - though you're broken and scarred... You can choose, not to lose, you can build it again! DON'T LET GO - of what's deep in your heart You are free to fly, go and change your destiny! Too late to change? The past will remain But it's up to you to decide on a name Glory is not what miracles brought The path you have taken will lead you the way Why give up on a life that you love? Play the game with no shame till the very end LIVE AGAIN - with the vows in your heart Even if you get lost in the darkest of nights DON'T FORGET - that you've made it this far Show your scars with pride and believe your history... Sometimes we can't see the light anywhere Sometimes we don't have our luck in the air Almost like we've been left by ourselves I'm alone, you're alone, somewhere in the world But open your arms, look up and you will see an endless blue sky l believe, you believe, we will live out today So it leads to tomorrow! SOLO: midori / miyako / midori / miyako / both RISE AGAIN - though you're broken and scarred You can choose, not to lose, you can build it again DON'T LET GO - of what's deep in your heart You are free to fly, rise above your fate! LIVE AGAIN - with the vows in your heart Even if you get lost in the darkest of nights DON'T FORGET - that you've made it this far You are free to fly, go and change your destiny! ----- lyrics: asami music: miyako arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) album: Clockwork Immortality 12/05/2018

LOVEBITES is a five-member all-female, Japanese heavy metal band with deep musicianship (plus classical music/piano background). They transcend gender, genre, and geography, with some 60 songs in their discography. They won Metal Hammer Golden Gods Award for Best New Band (2018), toured with Dragonforce (2019), first female Japanese band to perform at Wacken Open Air (Germany) and others in Europe, and are unusual among Japanese bands in choosing to sing in English plus good lyrics (a daunting task for native Japanese speakers).They play a variety of heavy metal styles and are heavily influenced by NWBHM, especially Iron Maiden and the "big four" thrash metal bands.

[@tonym480]

Welcome to Lovebites, the Wolfpack 🐺 Lovebites fans around the world will be along to give you information and recommendations. Lovebites are a Japanese heavy metal band, formed in 2016 by Miho, Bass, who was previously in a band called Destrose that broke up in 2015. They take much of their influence from the 1970's and 80's British and European bands such as Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Metallica. Miho is a big fan of Steve Harris, bass player with Iron Maiden and is influenced by his playing style. She left the band in 2021 for personal reasons and is currently pursuing new projects. The present members are, Asami, Vocals and Piano. She trained in Ballet Dancing and before Lovebites was a R&B singer. She writes many of the lyrics and sings in English, not easy for a native Japanese speaker. Midori, ESP Guitars. The blond 'Amazon Warrior' Miyako, Dean and Gibson Guitars, Piano and Keyboards. the 'serious' one with long black hair. She is a classically trained pianist who writes much of the music, often incorporating classical themes into her compositions. She recently posted a 3 part series on her YT channel 'MIYAKO OFFICIAL' about the process she uses to compose new music in her home studio. She has an EP of some classic heavy metal songs transcibed and played on piano as though they are classical works. It would be accurate to think of her as a classical pianist who also plays guitar in a heavy metal band. A remarkable young woman. Both Guitarists play lead, seamlessly swapping lead and rhythm as required. They play wonderful harmonised dual solos. Fami, Bass. The 'new girl', recruited as replacement for Miho in late 2022 when she was 20 years old and still at university. She has her own YT channel that has nearly 700,000 subs. Check out her 'Alien Alien' Slap Bass cover from when she was about 16. She is the bassist in this video. Haruna, Drums. The 'Little BIG Engine'. a tiny lady, 1.45 meters tall, who is the power house that drives the band. Before Lovebites she had been a member of Destrose, Miho's former band, and was the first to join her in the new band. I saw Lovebites live in London recently, and watched Haruna in awe. She plays powerfully, fast and precisely throughout concerts that can be up to near 2 hours long. All members of the band can play piano/keyboards. They were the first all female Japanese band to play at the Wacken festival, Germany in 2018, also playing at the Bloodstock festival in the UK and winning the UK Metal Hammer Golden Gods award for best new band. In 2019 they toured the UK with Dragon Force and opened for Arch Enemy in China. Following Miho's departure in 2021 they went on hiatus, two members, Asami and Miyako getting married and having babies. Their 'comeback' concert, the first with Fami on Bass, was in March 2023. If you enjoyed this song, here are a few recommendations for further listening. Break The Wall, Holy War, Thunder Vengeance, M.D.O., Scream For Me (live from 'Daughters of the Dawn' "OK Haruna, Give me the beat") Swan Song with the Chopin introduction played by Miyako, Winds of Transylvania (written for a Japanese Anime series VLADLOVE) Frozen Serenade, Edge of the World, Epilogue. There are many more I could suggest, but this should give you an idea of their range. The Wolfpack will have more suggestions. I would suggest watching live performances wherever possible. The ladies really shine on stage. I have been to London twice recently to see them during their just concluded European tour. I have been a fan of Rock and Metal music right from the beginning with bands like Black Sabbath and Deep Purple, Lovebites are amongst the best I have ever seen. Enjoy your journey 🐺🤘 ps, if you want to see them moving around the stage, take a look at some of the fan footage on YT from the festival concerts they played in Europe recently, such as HellFest. Fami alone moves around enough for anyone 🤣

[@taihavard]

I think for stage energy one of their best lives is LOVEBITES - Raise some Hell (Five of a Kind, 21/02/2020) And it's a damned good song as well. ------ If you wan to go for one of their hardest songs go for LOVEBITES / Set The World On Fire [Live from "Ride For Vengeance Tour 2021"] ------ And if you want to go for the most "ehhhhh?!" song of all, in my opinion. Lovebites - Winds of Transylvania (Heavy Metal Never Dies - Tokyo Dome City Hall 2021) ------ In the second two the dark haired guitarist, Miyako, is quite heavily pregnant so doesn't move around a lot, but she is quite stoic on stage anyway.

[@shadzyg]

@taihavard549 ooo hell yeah thanks for letting me know I'll check them out! 😁

[@Mrlovebitten]

I would like to point out that the movement around the stage depends heavily on the type of song they are playing and weather or not running around is even required and while it is true they are wearing high heels they do move around in some songs more than others also LOVEBITES songs are are more on the faster and technical side than band maids music and they are very technical in their own right (also both bands are known to each other hence why fans recommend them to you). Anyways LOVEBITES music is based on the metal genre “British New Wave Heavy Metal” (Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Halloween) while also tapping into Thrash Metal like bands such as Metallica, Megadeth and even Slayer.

[@shadzyg]

Iron maiden yes thank you! I was drawing such a blank who they reminded me of! Yeah that definitely makes sense I was not aware while listening that it was one of their more mellow songs 😆 I will check out more for sure!

[@gordonnottsfinest180]

As you'll now be aware of after reading the comments, they have, in most cases, a lot more movement on stage, sometimes not so much, but the stage presence they have is mesmerising, and a lot has to do with their technical abilities in the way they play and the amazing vocals and movement from Asami. Look forward to your next reaction. The Hammer of Wrath is a very good choice, 🤘🥁🎤🎸🎹🐺

I am definitely learning that indeed! 😅 and yeah their sound is fantastic! Quite a few comments about hammer of wrath I will definitely have to check that one out!

[@zainalabidinramli762]

moving around on stage: the world's great or rather legends and monsters during live performance hardly move on stage: Al Dimeola, Pat Metheny, Yamandu Costa, Jeff Beck, Tommy Emmanuel, Paco Delucia, Antonio Rey John Mclaughlin....: Why? becos they play sitting down, mostly. And yet they play to a sold out performance concert. And the 50 above age group, the demographic staunch supporters of Lovebites will attest to the fact that Jimmy Page, Tony Iommi, Ritchie Blackmore were not ring masters of big cats circus shows, meaning, on stage, they were very private and reserved with deep focus to deliver their best as to the expectations of the paying crowds. Likewise, Lovebites are not the ordinary, everyday musician trying to create organized noise from a concoction of sounds. In heavy metal these ladies command exceptional skills in music theory and applications and Jedi masters in time signature dynamics, a very rare quality currently in this genre, thus denoting excellent compositional and arrangement abilities. In this respect these ladies are very professional, and intellectual in their demeanor and quite similar to those musicians playing sitting down. Music is sound, thus primarily for the ears, and only secondary for the eyes becos the eyes cannot hear, but only to augment appreciation of live music. So movement on stage is not a significant matter and should be low down in the hierarchy of performance criteria of live performances. Its just not about Heels. Give them flats or bare feet, they will be what they are, That's their personality. I doubt that will diminish or discount their credibility and ability as accomplished musicians. This is not trivialization, but perhaps a needed clarification.

[@shadzyg]

@zainalabidinramli762 yeah you're absolutely right! I did not intend to take anything away from them it's more just personal preference when attending a show for me to just move around stage a little. But you're absolutely right, music is for the ears and the movements and visuals is secondary!

[@rodhamm8484]

This is my favorite band, and they might be yours soon, keep listening to them, they just keep getting more impressive. Try Set The World On Fire live and The Hammer Of Wrath live as just two ideas of where to go next, but all their songs are great, you can't go wrong with these ladies. 🐺🤘

It means they blend as the first band in history all kind of metal mainly power and thrash with NWOBHM, heavy metal, symphonic metal, speed metal,hair metal, hard rock, rock, rock'n'roll, jazz, progressive pieces, funk and even punk. They mix all with classical music using operatic, R&B, soul and gospel skills of vocalist and grand piano and Spanish guitar skills playing. Sometimes they use typical Japanese melodic lines which are included in ENKAs_ melancholy ballads singing by Japanese women. Only their can do it. Obviously they draw a lot from British, German and American metal. All this makes their style unique. 🐺🤘LOVEBITES 🤘🐺 the team of five thrashpower metal goddesses from Japan_Tokyo.

I love all the info thank you! They definitely go hard I liked it a lot! Thank you for watching 😁

[@MrUndeadNinja]

I know you've already been told about their stage presence being based off the "feel" of the song, but as a good example of how good they are with it, their song M.D.O. (Most Destructive Outset since most people tend to ask what it stands for lol) shows just how interactive they are with the crowd/each other kzbin.info/www/bejne/apvLonh9ibCiick And a totally different, more thrashy side of their sound.

[@shadzyg]

@MrUndeadNinja hey I appreciate it either way for sure! I'll check that one out thank you and thanks for watching 😁

[@MrUndeadNinja]

@@shadzyg It's also a great song for you since you said you love the chanty style vocals as the song was made specifically to get the crowd chanting along at their shows! Lol

[@shadzyg]

@MrUndeadNinja oh yeah gives me goosebumps every time! 🤣

[@alekhidell]

LOVEBITES performance is song specific. This song has profound lyrics, to a degree. You don’t prance around when you’re THIS good. Easy mistake to make. Band Maid are not the same kind of band. You have plenty of songs to go before you exhaust the LOVEBITES catalogue, and NONE are mediocre. Good first reaction…a lesson in giving the band time to show you what they can do before jumping in feet first 😂

[@shadzyg]

@@alekhidell yes absolutely I've learned a lot from all the comments here! Kinda put my foot in my mouth with that one 🤣 it was fantastic i can't wait to hear more!

[@RichZee777]

With all respect for both bands, Lovebites & Band-maid. It is best to NOT compare the 2 bands together. It's not your fault at all, but there are many people that will only respect 1 band, and sometimes they get upset. Also, there are 40 to 50 bot accounts that go around trying to get the Fans of Japanese-Bands to dislike each other, The person or whatever it is responsible for this mayhem, is very cunning tricky and will seize any opportunity to make people feel upset over perceived animosity. Most of us get along just fine, but I have been in this Japan-fandom long enough to see some of the craziest things you can imagine. If someone were to create 15 fake accounts and used them to harass other bands fans, they can misdirect their emotions toward that other band's fandom and believe that those fans are just crazy and are in some crazy cult, This has already happened, multiple times.

[@shadzyg]

Oh holy crap that's awful. Yeah the comparison was unintentional I misinterpreted some comments. I'm just trying to discover and spread some music I haven't heard yet but I'm all about kindness and treating people right! Both bands are fantastic in their own ways and yes definitely different from each other 😁

[@RichZee777]

@@shadzyg Not any problem at all, I just wanted to make sure you were aware of it. Welcome to lovebites, you may like the song that ChadThe DragonLord suggested, it's got some good thrash metal vibes and lots of energy.

[@shadzyg]

@Richzee777 yeah I appreciate you letting me know! I definitely will check it out thank you! 😁

[@tonym480]

Sadly this is true. The members of both Lovebites and BandMaid know each other and are friends I believe. 3 members of Lovebites were in the audience for BandMaids 10th anniversary concert in Yokohama last year.

[@shadzyg]

@tonym480 oh no kidding that's awesome! A shame some people have to be like that. Music is meant to bring people together!

[@13uomini]

Metal music is not a Circus show and it's time to finish to judge the performance only for many miles the artist run on the stage or if he/she jump or not. If you sing you can jump, if you play really the instruments like this girls you cannot jump! Then this is not the song for jump and run! Watch please : We The United always live (2023)!

[@shadzyg]

@13uomini no you're absolutely right! It's really just personal preference for me to move around the stage a little and not just stand still but I have been informed they do that as well just depends on the song 😁 I'll check it out thank you!

[@zeplica2004]

they move around in their heels alot during the show

[@shadzyg]

@zeplica2004 honestly once I saw they were in their heels I was impressed 🤣

Welcome to LOVEBITES 🤘🏼🐺🔥 Here some information about them: The band was formed in 2016 by original bassist Miho and drummer Haruna. Their first EP and album both were released in 2017. So far LOVEBITES have already recorded 4 full length studio albums, in addition some EPs and Singles and a bunch of live albums, available on CD and DVD/Blu-ray. In 2018 LOVEBITES won the Metal Hammer UK Golden Gods Award for best new band. LOVEBITES have toured in Europe back in 2018/2019 and also recently in 2024. This also includes appearances at most European major metal festivals such as Wacken, Download, Bloodstock, Graspop, Resurrection Fest and Hellfest. They will be in the US for the first time later this year. In 2021 the band went into a hiatus, because founder and bassist Miho quit the band for personal reasons. During the break also two babies were born. LOVEBITES came back in October 2022 with new bassist Fami and a few months later with new album „Judgement Day“. A new EP and a live album will be released on august 28. The band members of LOVEBITES are (including their official nicknames) Asami on vocals (the one and only voice): She has an amazing vocal range and vibrato, writes most of the lyrics, also did parts of the song writing for their latest 2 albums, she is a former ballerina and RnB/soul singer Miyako on guitars, piano, keyboards (the golden touch): She is the musical brain of the band, main composer and arranger, a soulful but also shreddy guitar player and concert level pianist, furthermore she is a gear nerd Midori on guitars (crazy shredder): Incredibly fast and technical guitar player, has contributed to songwriting for a few of their songs, also she is a body fitness athlete Haruna on drums (little big engine): Plays very fast pace over long distances, she is very efficient and her stamina is admirable, the cymbal work is outstanding, she also wrote one of their songs including lyrics, creates handmade miniature fake food Fami on bass since 2022 (shining fingers): Absolute bass prodigy with outstanding technique, she speaks faster than sonic speed as she plays and smiles non-stop Miho on bass until 2021 (natural born headbanger): We will never forget her, she is a great bass player, she wrote several of the songs for the band’s albums 1-3

[@shadzyg]

@stand.and.deliver.5 ooo thanks for all the info for sure! 😁 they were fantastic and well deserving of the accolades! Was really impressed by it all 😄

[@evilvolts]

@@shadzyg wait till you see their song inspired by Halestorm and Lzzy Hale when they were touring they saw them with songs that got the crowd involved so they wrote Raise Some Hell (at one point we see Midori run accross stage as Miyako switches places then later as Miyako walks back we see Miho do a little sprint to another point in the stage. The New song they just released Unchained MV has at one point Miyako the least animated of the group dancing and jumping with Asami.

They don't move around much. It's not for heels. They just do not move around much and they don't have to. They are top class musicians. Do classic musicians, jazz musicians, best blues musicians, bluegrass musicians move around? No, they don't. I just don't understand those people insist on circus in real music. It is a concert, not a mistrel show.

[@shadzyg]

@@gatograto it's not a problem at all! And not necessarily jumping around but personally I just like some motion on the stage. It's just a personal preference is all nothing wrong with it

Welcome to Lovebites! Best metal band in the world, imho. Their stage presence is amazing as you get to know them better. This is my least favorite performance of Rising, so not the best one to check out really - especially for stage presence. The performance from Zepp in 2020 is much, much better: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJ_GmmuBqb19hs0 Heels don't limit their stage presence or motion at all, as you'll see in other videos. I recommend you check out more. They're amazing.

I know that Miyako has a sizable peddle board at her feet which if you use during a song limits your ability to move about. I'm fairly certain Midori and Fami have boards as well. ☺

[@aldomattera2043]

I can suggest "Break the wall" , "Set the world on fire", and "Holy war" , to have an idea about their more fast and powerful tracks... The our ladies move when the kind of song requires it. Sometimes they can also go wild (see "Raise some hell" LIVE 2020, "Stand and deliver" OMV 2023, or the latest music video (dropped a few days ago) "Unchained"...

whoever told you that Lovebites is similar to band maid doesn't acknowledge the difference in many rock genres that are out there. Lovebites is a welcoming source of metal in various styles while band maid is a pop rock band that I personally don't like and they are more similar to bands like crappy kiss and bogus Mutely Crap (Motely Crue) and as well as X-Japan. a bit of advice lower your mic volume and raise the music volume if it's too loud then your too old.

[@shadzyg]

@salsaucedo I think I may have worded it wrong and that may be my fault 😅 the general consensus from Comments was if I like solos and dueling solos and that kind of stuff. Either way, lovebites was fantastic though!

Dude, you need to chill. He's reacting to the song, or are you just blind and didn't want to read the title? Instead of being hateful, why not do something constructive with your life, like maybe getting off the internet and going outside to see the sun.
