LOVEBITES - Swan Song +Chopin Intro DUALITY IS AWESOME!!

[@ahodori-dl5hz]

The Chopin piece Miyako (guitar/keyboards) is playing in the intro is "Etude OP10, No. 12" known as the "Revolutionary Etude." In 1831, some officers and citizens rose up against the Polish government, which was under the de facto control of the Russian Empire, in what was called the "November Revolution" but ended in failure due to the direct intervention of Russian troops. Chopin received this news during a performance tour. He never set foot on the soil of his homeland again. When the Russians invaded Warsaw, Chopin's agent presented "Etude OP10, No. 12" in Paris. Because of the agent's exaggerated publicity, people called this piece "Revolutionary Etude. Miyako composed "Swan Song" based on this "Revolutionary Etude" and Dvorak's "New World Symphony. Asami (vocalist), a former ballerina, wrote the lyrics based on the historical background of "Revolutionary Etude" and inspired by Norse mythology and the ballet suite "Swan Lake. "SwanSong" is a requiem dedicated to the warriors who fought to reclaim their homeland, a masterpiece that only LOVEBITES could complete. As an aside, "Lost In The Garden," the eighth song on the album "Judgment Day," was inspired by Liszt's "La Campanella," and Miyako began training on this challenging song three months ago in order to perform it live.

Wow! Great info! Thanks 🩷

[@BigBoss-md4wp]

You are so beautiful as this song....MARRY ME, Maddy !!!!

[@ralphboyer2538]

Miyako started taking piano lessons at age 3, and intended to pursue a career as a classical pianist. Then at 18, she picked up a guitar and taught herself to play from books - she had no formal lessons at guitar. She has also taught herself to play some bass and drums. In addition, she composes and arranges the majority of Lovebites' songs. She continues to play piano and released a solo EP this year on which she arranged 6 metal songs into a classical style. She's giving a solo piano recital in Tokyo next month. She is just an amazing musician. Btw... I enjoy your LBs reactions. Take care!

[@MaddyReactions]

Wow so talented!

[@fikryhasan5225]

Their concerts are approx. 2 hours with setlists that consist of 20 songs. Can you imagine? Thanks for reacting to Swan Song. There are still many more songs from this band that will continue to awe you. Keep them all coming!! 🤘🏼🔥😽🔥🤘🏼

[@MaddyReactions]

Wow!!!

[@MrEd-qg8td]

Yes, the amazing Miyako, Plays Piano, Guitar, Bass, Drums and is the designated backup vocalist. Yes she can sing

[@MaddyReactions]

So amazing!!

[@Greish-esquire]

In this, Chopin, as it is a basically a left hand exercise she ramped up the "lazy" right hand to give it a fuller sound .... Miyako is AMAZING!

[@MaddyReactions]

Ahh, definitely

[@doobiedave9686]

That was INCREDIBLE 🔥🔥🔥 The pianist/guitarist was impressive, but my favorite was the drummer, she was going ham. Great reaction Maddie 🙌✌️

[@MaddyReactions]

So epic!

[@DocOfRock-p4j]

haruna is only 4 ft. 9 in. tall. her nickname is the little big engine. relentless is how i describe her. she goes like this for 2 hours straight and doesn't break a sweat. cuteness overload as well

[@johnmagill7714]

The rest of the band gave her the nickname Little Big Engine. It's pretty obvious why..lol She can go. I never see her tired and winded. Never see her sweat. Just smiles and does her thing. I'm sure she gets tired. But she sure don't show it. Me after watching their full new concert video a few weeks ago. I felt like I needed a 12 hr sleep just listening to her.

[@jawosammadennhier7062]

Thank you so much for reacting to Lovebites! So heartwarming! 😊 👌👍 🐺

[@MaddyReactions]

No problem 😊

[@gatograto]

Miyako is basically a classic pianist who also plays guitar. She started playing piano at her three and started self teaching guitar at her eighteen. She also plays bass, drum, and sings, and composes. She is a one woman band.

[@MaddyReactions]

So epic

[@DocOfRock-p4j]

literally all of their songs are epic. but one i know will really knock you out is the live performance of 'a frozen serenade' 2021. picking a favorite from them is next to impossible but serenade is in almost every LOVEBITES fan's top 3. they ring every bell in it and will stun you.

[@MaddyReactions]

Agreed

[@dg3258]

There will only be one Miyako EVER. Blessed to be able to watch her performances. The whole band is next level. Hoping Jeff requests A Frozen Serenade live 2021 next. Calling it a performance would be an understatement; more like a MASTERPIECE. 🤘

[@alastairmcintyre4752]

Miyako is a classically trained pianist who only took up guitar in her VERY late teens - and is self taught !

[@MaddyReactions]

Very epic

[@jawosammadennhier7062]

@@MaddyReactions Indeed. 😊 Every lady of this band has her own impressive personal history. Getting to know their individual stories, definitely pays off a lot. Extremely impressive and inspiring. 🥲 That is one of the many reasons why I personally appreciate this band so much: When they spread their messages of encouragement, hope and appreciation of individual uniquenes and value ("Stay true to who you are!"), that is backed-up by their own personal experiences and convictions. They had to go through difficult times themselves, and personally know, that working your way through crises - and standing up for what you are convinced of - will pay off. 😊 🐺

[@johnpaul4784]

Miyako is an absolute genius. She can play keyboards, piano, guitar, bass, drums et elle écrit les chansons !

[@mmcpa]

This song is spectacular in so many ways. How often do you witness a backing track come to life during a song. This song contains every musical reason why Miyako is my favorite musician ever - she's a virtuoso at piano, guitar, and composing.

[@MaddyReactions]

Right!!

[@alexthorpe6583]

That song pretty much speaks for itself. Asami starting off learning ballet before switching to singing. Not a lot of demand for ballerinas that are 4'10", I guess, but I suspect it helps her vocal stamina. Not to mention her grace on stage.

[@MaddyReactions]

Ooh wow

[@gatograto]

Yes, luckily to us, she stopped growing younger.

[@mrairbusfan]

Miyako's played Chopin again in her guitar solo. The end piano is "New World Symphony"

[@johngiambrone2994]

As someone mentioned Miyako started playing piano at age three. Later in high school she picked up guitar. While writing some of the songs she uses her classical knowledge. She compares metal to classical. If you closely listen you can pick it up in some of their songs. As far as the corset,another reactor(professional opera singer) explained the advantages of using the corset in their singing to aid in their breathing. Not very comfortable but,it works. Also the way she uses her arms to reach the higher notes. Watch as she goes for certain notes how she is using her body as a tool. You need to try Band Maid, the live version of the song “Freedom” (older song). Or “Shambles” their newest song.

[@MaddyReactions]

Wowwww

[@flameofudun8447]

Do not know if it was mentioned but Miyako just created an album with piano covers that feature metal songs. Her interpretations of Battery by Metallica and so many more. Her playing is exceptional, but her compositional skills are next level. Miyako is one of my favorite composers. She has written a few Lovebites songs. My favorite is Soldier Stands Solitary. Masterpiece.

[@MaddyReactions]

Wow

[@kielanuar213]

Yes..Epic, masterpiece by Lovebites. Undoubtfull talent. One of a kind. Thanks sis👍 react more and be amazed again and again🤘🥰

[@boyzyu]

Yes, Miyako is a virtuoso on BOTH piano AND guitar. She has also composed & arranged about 50% of Lovebites' current discography of around 60 songs. To witness how crazily phenomenal she is, here's a track of her playing guitar AND keyboards at the SAME TIME - : "Burden of Time" Studio LIVE : kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoCll5J9o52YnNU .

[@johnmagill7714]

You need to see them do Burden Of Time, Miyako plays guitar and the Keyboard at the same time. Their new bassist Fami also plays piano and guitar, she's a composer and very good singer to in her own right. Her YT channel actually has a larger following than Lovebites. The fact that Lovebites doesn't have a larger following on youtube is criminal.

[@MaddyReactions]

😍

[@davidtormaschy9988]

Miyako even has a CD that was released this year where she did 6 cover songs on the Piano: Miyako: Etude Op. 23 Metallica: Battery Yngwie Malmsteen: Far Beyond the Sun Halloween: Eagle Fly Free Gary Moore: The Loner Deep Purple: Burn Lovebites: Addicted All 6 songs are dong with greatness and beauty.

all of them can play piano on some extent but Miyako has done it from age 3

[@MaddyReactions]

So epic!

[@ulfheroldjensen]

As has Midori - just sayin'... but she quit the keys around age 20 to play guitar and upon entering university to study - I believe - pharmaceutics. She eventually decided for a career in music and the world became a better place. Also lifts some weights now and then.

[@Patrick_H.]

*Miyako* (black hair guitar/piano/keyboards/keytar/bass/a 'little' drums/backing vocals/Composer/sound & recording engineer/guitar tech/Star Wars Nerd - she has a dog named Wampa) This song shows how Special Miyako is. She composed the song, her guitar Solo, and the Piano outro. Oh, and she opens with that Amazing performance of Chopin's Revolutionary Etude. MIYAKO 😍 She also has a new (first) EP out - *Etude op.23* where she has re-composed 6 classic Metal and Rock songs - as classical piano pieces. She just released a MV of her cover of Helloween's Classic Eagle Fly Free, which would be a great Reaction (or just a fun watch) kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5mWc3-IqJWLqJY 🤘🐺🐺🐺🤘

Nice reaction. I believe its a Electric Piano and not Grand Piano which actually makes it even more impressive since as far as I understand, it doesn't even really feel the same way.

[@MaddyReactions]

Thanks for the info!

[@guitarzen5999]

Yes, it's a digital piano and they don't feel the same but they are much easier to transport and setup for a show than a grand piano.

[@Stopyraw]

Hellooo From these girls,you will like and be impressed by the songs they have.I recommend the songs "Rising" official video clip,a powerful song and a more powerful message. "A frozen serenade" a fairy tale in the form of metal. "Epilogue" one of the most beautiful songs in the history of music,touches your soul But they have dozens of songs and none bad.A big hug.

[@MaddyReactions]

Loved it!!

[@moonadict7]

I wonder if u will like Dreamcatsher It's not similare but for some reason i feel like u probably would like theme... if i had to give a recomendation maybe "chase me" is a good first reaction to theme ? Idk anyway nice reaction

[@DavidKAnderson]

I also find this rendition of the Revolutionary Etude perhaps a bit overly forceful...but I don't have a problem with that. After all, it's happening in the middle of a _metal_ concert! Miyako had to be more than a little fired up. Make no mistake: despite her often stoic appearance, she plays with plenty of passion...and you can't just turn off the adrenaline like a tap. So if she went a bit hard for that piece, I understand, and I don't mind a bit.

[@michaelafrancis1361]

I was interested in your comments regarding Miyako's technique on the piano in the Chopin intro and your remark that she played it a little heavier and with more foot pedal than perhaps Chopin would have done. To be honest I don't think that Miyako would have played that piece like that under normal circumstances. She is more accustomed to playing classical piano pieces on a concert grand piano. That instrument, in spite of appearances, is not a concert grand but rather a Roland electric piano dressed up to look like a grand piano. Miyako wasn't entirely happy with the feel of it or its sound on this tour and I think the only reason they used it was because a proper grand piano would have been a logistical nightmare to move and re-tune for every show. In the tour the year after they did swap the electric piano out for a proper concert grand and it did have a far more organic, acoustic tone to it.

[@MaddyReactions]

Ahhh, that makes perfect sense!!

[@philipturner9087]

If you think Miyako is good switch from keyboards to strings there’s a studio video of one of their songs she playing both at the same time
