"Is Miyako going to do some piano work?" Oh my lord, you have no idea what's coming! Background for your viewers: Chopin (thank you for pronouncing it properly, most American reactors do not!) was a Polish-born Romantic-era (1800’s) classical composer and piano virtuoso who lived most of his life in France. He is considered one of the greatest classical composers of all time. Miyako, who composes a lot of Lovebites’ music, is a professional-level concert pianist, and was originally going to make classical music her career. When she was 18, she picked up a guitar, and is now (quite obviously) an elite-level guitarist. She particularly likes the Romantic Era classical composers like Debussy, Dvořák, Chopin and Rachmaninoff. She composed “Swan Song” using elements of the New World Symphony (Dvořák) and Chopin’s Revolutionary Etude (official name Étude Opus 10, No. 12 in C minor).

[@YBPlaysMusic]

Thx for the info, Hiawatha! Well, perhaps that's because I'm not american😜 Yeah you can definitely see she has what it takes to take a classical route as well!

[@mmcpa]

This song brings tears to my eyes every time. This song is the Miyako show. Her piano is on the backing track throughout the song and then she plays it live as the outtro. These ladies are a good as the greats we think of.

[@ChrisPage68]

Haruna is known within the band as "The Little Big Engine", and Miyako is "The Golden Touch" - both for obvious reasons. 🤘🔥🐺 If you want to hear the crowd singing, check the live version of "Rising" from the same show.

[@obud3777]

For “Swan Song” Miyako combined 2 of her favorite classics: Chopin’s “Revolutionary Etude” and Dvorak’s “New World Symphony”

[@alekhidell]

I think it’s *because* she studied classical piano for 15 of her first 18 years that Miyako is so good on the guitar. Watch her little finger when she’s shredding, it’s positioned much differently to Midori’s. Revolutionary Etude was written as a left hand exercise I understand. So she has built up such ambidextrous skills that she obviously found it less difficult than someone learning guitar from scratch, no prior musical experience. You’re going to love her even more when I tell you that she then taught herself to play guitar from a book. No lessons. At least that’s what I’ve been told elsewhere great reaction to the best band in existence.

[@Phoenix-ci7ix]

LOVEBITES always makes me happy . Thanks for your reaction 🤘 Glory to Lovebites 🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 Miho ! Miho! Miho! 🐺🤘🔥

[@thesaturdaymorningcowboy4198]

We’ve been trying to tell you that Miyako is crazy good! Now you got to see it for yourself.

[@davidornberg]

The choir in the end is backing track but I'm sure that the crowd is singing along. The piano sweeps in the song is also backing track. Lovebites use backing tracks whenever it needs. I don't mind it. It makes the sound on the concerts much better..... I do admire Haruna on the drums and her playing to the, I assume, click track in this speed.....

[@CaffeineNightOwl]

now you know, why we love them so much.

[@HorrorMetalMaestroRedrusty66]

All glory to LOVEBITES and all my brothers and sisters of The Wolf Pack everywhere! Best metal band to come along in 25 years.

[@jonathanjones6984]

This song brings out so much emotions for me. I swear I tear up especially at end when miyako goes back on piano.

[@sharkmurtado7250]

Miyako 😍

[@marks5451]

Good analysis. They make me happy too. As far as I know Miho has not joined another band. How about reacting to Edge of the World from the same 2020 show. And if you want to feel "happy" go for We The United also from the 2020 show.

[@dregeye]

This playlist is "Edge ... > We The United" with the short clip of them taking a bow at end of show. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4vNqYCgd9Sjbdk both songs have [cc] lyrics and were performed in this order on 2019 and 2020 tours.

[@northbreeze0198]

Just now saw them for the first time. I'm blown away. It's just nuts.

[@dg3258]

A metal song for the ages. No one in the genre today could come close to pulling this off! They are the best of the best! Not easy to enjoy an 8min song, unless it's LOVEBITES. F yeah! 🐺🦊

[@lard1892]

Very nice reaction video.....I think its what most of us feel about Lovebites......

[@exDemonius]

Every time when you listening the new Lovebites song, it becomes your favourite. Because they all different and they all amazing! Nice reaction. You need to make more Lovebites reactions. If you want something unusual - you can try to watch their song "Spellbound". Thank you for your reaction!

[@VRsMagic]

Great Great Great reaction my bro, thanks, LOVEBITES IS EPIC, My favorite Female Band on the World, all Masters and fantastic songs, thanks👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤘🏻🐺🤘🏻

[@MAAA123]

watch lovebites-burden of times studio ver.. miyako play keyboard and guitar at same time 🔥

[@kellerfrederic1]

who in the course of time in hard rock or heavy metal music has incorporated such piano virtuosity into a live track?

[@dg3258]

No one other than LOVEBITES!

[@metalvideos1961]

Listen to mustis old keyboard player from dimmu borgir. Amazing musician

[@markhoward2811]

Joost van den Broek - Ayreon Tuomas Holopainen - Nightwish Coen Jannsen - Epica Jordan Rudess - Dream Theater Michael Pinnella - Symphony X Oliver Palotai - Kamelot All classically trained keyboard players in current bands.

[@Buddies_official46]

X JAPAN

[@briandavis4916]

Dream Theater. Miyako is better than most but she's still young. Jordan Rudess is on his own level by himself.

[@kielanuar213]

Miyako is special. Yes she's can be legend, the whole band is a package of legend. As they put classical piano, I would like to imagine see them add some traditional Japanese music/sound instrumen and blend it, shredd it.. amazing reaction friend. Amazed again ya.. hahahaha👍🤘🤘

[@whirled_peace]

LOVEBITES - Swan Song lyrics: If this was the last day you could live on this earth Would you still go on, accusing someone for today It’s better to fail than not do anything at all It is not the length, but depth of life that counts Oh brave soldier Oh gallant warrior Valor to those who died in battle to Valhalla Believe what’s in your soul For death will come to all You shall rest peacefully in God’s Heaven Floating lotus You are so graceful Saintly and glorious Till the end of time Floating lotus You are so beautiful Sing me your sweet song The legend of the swan If you’ve never hoped, you’ve never been though despair Ignorance is bliss, it’s easier to not care You might think it’s meaningless to sacrifice a life Sometimes the life of one can save so many more Oh brave soldier Oh gallant warrior Valor to those who died in battle to Valhalla Believe what’s in your soul For death will come to all You shall rest peacefully in God’s Heaven Floating lotus You are so graceful Saintly and glorious Till the end of time Floating lotus You are so beautiful Sing me your sweet song The legend of the swan Floating lotus You are so graceful Saintly and glorious Till the end of time Floating lotus You are so beautiful Sing me your sweet song The legend of the swan ----- lyrics: asami music: miyako arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami)

[@lonniekramlich6241]

Swan Song.......Lyrics by Asami, Music & Arrangement by Miyako. It's going to be interesting & fun too see the evolution of this band over the next couple of years. Without Miho's influence, will the sound stay the same, get harder or more progressive? Anyway try, " A Frozen Serenade, " live. ❤🎙🎸🎹🥁😎👌

[@785boats]

That Etude is a piece of music a lot of piano teachers give to their students to increase the strength & dexterity of the left hand. Now when you take that left hand and place it on a guitar fretboard, combined with the musical genius that is Miyako, you get what we have here. Midori, on the other hand, spent quite some time studying classical guitar. That's where her skills & musical mind comes from. That Roland piano is actually a digital electronic piano. Apparently she had a bit of trouble getting used to the weight & feel of the keys. Quite different to the usual acoustic piano.

[@ahodori2233]

Chopin's song that Miyako(guitar / keyboard) played as an intro is "Etude OP10, No12", which is generally called "Revolutionary Etude". In 1831, a rebellion by some officers and civilians against the Polish government under the control of the Russian Empire failed due to direct Russian intervention. Chopin is informed of this news during his journey. He lost his place to return. When Russian troops invaded Warsaw, Chopin's agents announced "Etude OP10, No12" in Paris. People called it a "revolutionary etude" because the agents exaggerated and promoted the song. Miyako composed "Swan Song" with reference to this "Revolutionary Etude" and Dvorak's "From the New World". Former ballerina Asami (vocal) wrote a poem with the image of "Swan Lake" on the basis of the historical background of "Revolutionary Etude". "Swan Song" is a requiem dedicated to the warriors who fought to regain their hometown, and is a masterpiece that only LOVEBITES can produce. By the way, Asami seems to produce a high tone without having to look up. She seems to have become a habit because she always sang upwards when she was in the high notes.

[@dregeye]

10:47 the point you bring up here is what I consider LOVEBITES 'secret weapon' in making their Metal more 'comfortable' for those who are not Metal oriented, by letting Asami's vocals take a more 'melodic-ballad' pace, soaring over the top of the frantic guitars & relentless dbl-kick work of Haruna. I call their 'rhythm' a moving-platform that allows the soloists to build upon it. If the drums & guitars are replaced with simple chord changes at the same tempo, it could be a ballad. Numerous songs have this feature, Shadowmaker for 1. It 'softens' the 'jumping-on-a-fast-moving-train' experience. Rising is another kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJ_GmmuBqb19hs0 , and has the most encouraging, uplifting lyrics in Metal, imo. From the same show as Swan Song. What they do in one show is impressive in stamina, especially Haruna! I just love Midori's guitar-work accompanying the choral segment near the end. She is so fluid moving through techniques!

[@davidlandru3578]

I discoverded Lovebites 2 weeks ago and my life changed for ever.

[@barefootbaron1748]

So much bloody talent in this band

[@schelin1447]

It's Miyako Magic! :)

[@whirled_peace]

LOVEBITES - Swan Song lyrics (French): Si c'était le dernier jour où tu pourrais vivre sur cette terre Monde vous continuez toujours, accusant quelqu'un pour aujourd'hui Il vaut mieux échouer que ne rien faire du tout Ce n'est pas la durée, mais la profondeur de la vie qui compte Oh brave soldat Oh guerrier galant Vaillance pour ceux qui sont morts au combat à Valhalla Crois ce qu'il y a dans ton âme Car la mort viendra à tous Vous reposerez paisiblement dans le ciel de Dieu Lotus flottant Tu es si gracieux Saint et glorieux Jusqu'à la fin des temps Lotus flottant Tu es si belle Chante moi ta douce chanson La légende du cygne Si tu n'as jamais espéré, tu n'as jamais été désespéré L’ignorance est le bonheur, il est plus facile de ne pas s'en soucier Vous pourriez penser que sacrifier une vie n’a pas de sens Parfois, la vie de quelqu'un peut en sauver tant d'autres Oh brave soldat Oh guerrier galant Vaillance pour ceux qui sont morts au combat à Valhalla Crois ce qu'il y a dans ton âme Car la mort viendra à tous Vous reposerez paisiblement dans le ciel de Dieu Lotus flottant Tu es tellement gracieux Saint et glorieux Jusqu'à la fin des temps Lotus flottant Tu es si belle Chante moi ta douce chanson La légende du cygne Lotus flottant Tu es si gracieux Saint et glorieux Jusqu'à la fin des temps Lotus flottant Tu es si belle Chante moi ta douce chanson La légende du cygne -----

[@lard1892]

Miho(bassist) is teaming up with Yoshi (Aldious), Maki Oyama, Saki (Nemophilia) and TSP drummer HINA for one night? on August 28th at a club in Japan. (New Supergroup of Jmetal)??? Hopefully somebody records this.......

[@JFrancoDrums]

Nice!! These ladies are stunning!! Their song writing really stands out to me!! 🤘🐺🤘 They have a few more songs with Miyako on piano!!

[@metalvideos1961]

Just an amazing band. Totally in love with them. They have not put out a bad song. Winds of Transylvania is a favorite of mine as well. Guitar solo in that song is fantastic. But yeah Miyako is a classic trained pianist. Such talent. Anyway this whole band is just perfect.

[@DavidMISAMISAMISACook]

Miho Miho Miho!

[@philippecazeneuve4312]

they are just awesome Asami is the best singer in the world her voice and her presence on is amazing

[@evilvolts]

The Chopin Intro is his revolutionary etude about the failed Polish Revolution from Russia at the time Miyako made swan song to honor those who had died in that revolution Asami came up with the words.

[@Celion27200]

yessss. I have my place for HELLFEST in france 28th of June. LOVEBITES will be there

[@jaimealmendro2657]

Great reaction friend , Lovebites other level of musicians , please react to A Frozen Serenade , When Destines Align .

[@whirled_peace]

LOVEBITES - Swan Song lyrics (Dutch): Als dit de laatste dag was dat je op deze aarde zou kunnen leven Zou je nog steeds door willen gaan met iemand te beschuldigen voor vandaag? Het is beter om te falen dan helemaal niets te doen Het is niet de lengte, maar de diepte van het leven die telt Oh dappere soldaat Oh dappere krijger Moed voor degenen die stierven in de strijd naar Walhalla Geloof wat er in je ziel zit Want de dood zal voor iedereen komen Je zult vredig rusten in de hemel van God Drijvende lotus Je bent zo gracieus Heilig en glorieus Tot aan het einde der tijden Drijvende lotus Je bent zo prachtig Zing je lieve lied voor me De legende van de zwaan Als je nooit hebt gehoopt, ben je nooit wanhopig geweest Onwetendheid is gelukzaligheid, het is makkelijker om er niets om te geven Je zou kunnen denken dat het zinloos is om een ​​leven op te offeren Soms kan het leven van iemand zoveel meer redden Oh dappere soldaat Oh dappere krijger Moed voor degenen die stierven in de strijd naar Walhalla Geloof wat er in je ziel zit Want de dood zal voor iedereen komen Je zult vredig rusten in de hemel van God Drijvende lotus Je bent zo gracieus Heilig en glorieus Tot het einde van tijd Drijvende lotus Je bent zo prachtig Zing je lieve lied voor me De legende van de zwaan Drijvende lotus Je bent zo gracieus Heilig en glorieus Tot aan het einde der tijden Drijvende lotus Je bent zo prachtig Zing je lieve lied voor me De legende van de zwaan -----

It is Saki, a member of Nemophila and Mary's Blood, who plays the seven-string guitar, and plays in an amazing way.

[@yaz78]

Became my favourite song as well

[@samsunes2294]

Lovebites 🐺 Incredible

[@judaspriest9597]

Great reaction ! THX ! Amazing band its true !

[@justitia257]

Amazing

[@jay_g1984]

With her eyes closed!!! Miyako plays piano with eyes closed. She taught herself to play guitar, never had a lesson. Listen to "Empty Daydream" 2019, Miyako starts of with Rachmaninov on the keyboard.

[@salsaucedo]

There is a lot of contradiction over Asami's style of singing, many supposed vocal coaches say what you are claiming and then there are many others who say that she looks so relaxed and makes it look so easy, with no forcing or problems with her style of singing. All I know is that she is amazing and hope she never changes her style of singing it is all perfectly fitted. Yes, Miho did not leave Lovebites to join another band, she is enjoying her freedom away from music but every now and then she joins her friends and jams out on the local scene. This is one of the reasons why the other members call her "The Gloden Touch" everything she composes is golden and a true masterpiece soon to be a classic

[@billyboyles]

I would suggest "Edge of the World " for more Miako's piano and featuring Asami 's vocals .. "Hammer of Wrath" is awesome. or anything else, there are no Bad tracks

[@DragonPhlyy]

Lovebites are an awesome band! I would love to see you react to another of the hottest all female rock/metal Japanese bands called Nemophila. Suggestions for a first time reaction to them would be Revive, Raitei, or Dissension. They also have a new single called Adabaya coming out next week on 6/22. Thanks again for a great reaction!!

[@muto4055]

Really talented musicians. nothing to say for this band. If there's someone, please bring some bands that is compatible with LOVEBITES.

[@whirled_peace]

LOVEBITES - Swan Song lyrics (German): Wenn dies der letzte Tag wäre, an dem du auf dieser Erde leben könntest Würdest du immer noch weitermachen und jemanden für heute beschuldigen Es ist besser zu scheitern, als gar nichts zu tun Nicht die Länge, sondern die Tiefe des Lebens zählt Oh tapferer Soldat Oh galanter Krieger Ehre denen, die im Kampf um Walhalla gefallen sind Glaub was in deiner Seele ist Denn der Tod wird zu allen kommen Du sollst friedlich in Gottes Himmel ruhen Schwebender Lotus Du bist so anmutig Heilig und herrlich Bis zum Ende der Zeit Schwebender Lotus Sie sind so schön Sing mir dein süßes Lied Die Legende vom Schwan Wenn du nie gehofft hast, warst du noch nie verzweifelt Unwissenheit ist Glückseligkeit, es ist einfacher, sich nicht darum zu kümmern Du denkst vielleicht, dass es sinnlos ist, ein Leben zu opfern Manchmal kann das Leben eines Menschen so viel mehr retten Oh tapferer Soldat Oh galanter Krieger Ehre denen, die im Kampf um Walhalla gefallen sind Glaub was in deiner Seele ist Denn der Tod wird zu allen kommen Du sollst friedlich in Gottes Himmel ruhen Schwebender Lotus Du bist so anmutig Heilig und herrlich Bis Ende Zeit Schwebender Lotus Sie sind so schön Sing mir dein süßes Lied Die Legende vom Schwan Schwebender Lotus Du bist so anmutig Heilig und herrlich Bis zum Ende der Zeit Schwebender Lotus Sie sind so schön Sing mir dein süßes Lied Die Legende vom Schwan -----

[@evilvolts]

Next I would suggest Lovebites The Awakening/Hammer of Wrath kzbin.info/www/bejne/paWti4OLeNysha8

[@hamishalexander5048]

❤️ There are "slower" masterpieces also.... like Edge of the World, Empty Daydream, A Frozen Serenade,Today is the Day,Rising, Above the Black Sea ( ok the last 3 are not that slow but awesome :) all at best Live ofc

[@sekhopuro7265]

Your reaction of ' nameless warrior '. Thank you

[@walkthedogs240]

I have zero authority on this but I read via a couple of industry sources that Miho left the band due to pregnancy and her desire to try fulltime momhood, at least for a while. One article alleges that she was five months pregnant at Lovebites' final concert so I assume she's already deep into her new family life.

[@moonrose5944]

The wagakki band Machiya has recently used a 7-string guitar. Please also react to the wagakki band.

[@karasu8757]

Midori can play 7 string guitars and Miyako too, before having her signature with Dean Miyako played 6 7 and even 8 string guitars, I don't know if she and Midori use them anymore, I never got to see the band's concerts that already I watched, I'll take this hook that you were curious about 7 string guitars, it would be interesting for you to check the following bands that I will say now, Nemophila with its two lead guitarists who use 7 string guitars, Unlucky Morpheus another speed metal band with the vocalist female and a violinist prodigy in the band, the vocalist is technically the best in japan currently in the metal genre and her two guitarists use 7 string guitars and are also very talented, and lastly a band that I have already recommended to you called Dir En Grey, their two guitarists also use 7 string guitars and they are one of the best duos in japan, sorry for the long text, be well and greetings!

good news.. there are more..

[@beldin2987]

Fun fact : that Roland Piano is actually not accoustic but electronic and Miyako said she never really was comfortable with it because its just not the same feeling than a "real" piano. Yeah, i mean we can see how crappy she played on it, right ? 😂

[@BeeKnown]
