LOVEBITES - Swan Song [+Chopin Intro] | First Time Reaction

[@jarozupcan666]

Lovebites ... the band's huge contribution to this music genre! you can still make a name for yourself in the music world with your own work! Lovebites .. will rank among the legendary bands! 💯👍🤘

[@enmigo1496]

metal + grace + elegance + beauty + sympathy + great musicians + great songs = LOVEBITES !!!

[@daniele.f.2963]

These ladies are masters of music. They have no equal. Yes, they are geniuses, especially Miyako.

[@evergreendorneymahoning5435]

I love how Miyako picks up her guitar pick, off of the piano, as she heads over to her guitar

[@FaintlyTapping]

Behold, the power of Miyako! ❤

[@boyzyu]

The lady in question who shuffled from the piano to shred the guitar and then back to the piano is Miyako. She's a classically-trained pianist since the age of 3, then she picked up a guitar when she was 18, self-taught and like they say - the rest is history. In addition, she composed and arranged about 50% of Lovebites' discography of around 60 songs (including "Swan Song"). In short, she's a prodigy and a genius. Asami is the vocalist who sang R&B before joining Lovebites. She has a broad mid-to-high mezzo-soprano range and she can soar above Lovebites' very fast-paced and heavy riffs/licks with ease to make the tracks sound melodic. Therefore, she is ideal for Lovebites' genre of music which is a lot more more than just power metal. They play a seamless blend of power-speed/thrash/progressive/neoclassical metal. To blow your mind further, I recommend "A Frozen Serenade" LIVE.

[@lonniekramlich6241]

More about Miyako. She turned 33 yrs old on April 4th, and is a wife and mother. She started playing the piano at the age of 3, picked up the guitar at 18 and taught herself how to play. Miyako has said " all i ever wanted to do is make a living playing, composing or teaching music, " she does all three !! She is calm, elegant & driven to excellence 😏❤️🎙🎸🎹🥁😎🤘 Try " A Frozen Serenade. "

[@rainerzufall42]

Wasn't it April 5th? (1990) Not, that it's so important to look it up...

[@1970Phoenix]

This song demonstrates the fact that LOVEBITES is one of the most musically talented metal bands on the planet. Their elite musicianship and quality song writing deserve a lot more recognition that they currently have.

[@Space_Ranger]

To me I feel they show that metal does not always need to be death, black, chains, skulls, etc. You can be pretty and sophisticated and still rock!

THE WORST PART IS WHEN BANDS GLORIFY HEROIN USE. NAIVE, WEAK MINDED, LONELY AND DESPARATE SOULS WANT TO BE LIKE THEIR MUSIC GODS AND FALL FOR HEROIN.

[@theohof2204]

The most graceful and best-dressed band in the domain of Metal - and musically miles and miles ahead of any competition.

[@KaBeeM]

Miyako, the guitarist that also plays the piano is also the one that wrote this song. She was inspired by Chopin that why she played the Chopin bit as an intro. She's a musical prodigee that learned to play the piano at a very young age. She's classically trained on the piano but she taught herself how to play guitar by herself. She writes a lot of the music for Lovebites' songs but not all of it. I hope you'll do some more Lovebites on the channel. They've quickly became one of my favorite bands in the last couple years.

[@graciefolden2359]

Exactly 💯 and, besides, if you could play Chopin (that well) then the question would be why wouldn't you.😊

[@obud3777]

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

[@jmetallover]

Been with this group of exceptional women since the start. They wear their femininity proudly, playing in dresses and heels with positive lyrics, yet will smoke most band especially LIVE. World class musicians at every position, they write, arrange and play all their own songs in their unique style. They are the vanguard of the all female Japanese bands that dominate the music scene. If you aren't world class you won't make in the Japanese arena. Miyako is a classical trained pianist who picked up the guitar at 18 and self taught. Midori started the guitar at 20 dropping out of dental college to enter a prestigious music academy. The M&M ladies are polar opposites who blend perfectly together. Petite, Asami ( R&B/Soul/Jazz with ballet and dance background) is the 4' 10" stage general singer. Haruna the 4' 9" drummer is a beast on the kit she dominated like the world class musician she is. Here Miho the bassist and founder left in 2021 but has been replaced by the 20 y o. sensation, Fami. They just got 100K subscribers to their channel after nearly 8 years, just criminal as this is their usual quality, epic or masterpiece these women never disappoint. Welcome to the Wolfpack and enjoy the endless rabbit hole of great Japanese musicians.

[@evilvolts]

Swan Song honors those who died in the failed revolution that Chopin wrote that song for. that piece is known as the revolutionary etude.

[@user-zr4xc3yt6q]

Welcome to lovebites, for me this ladys are so talented, lovebites is the best metal band out, world class musician, especially 2 gitaris but drummer is my favourite band member, she was so solid on the drum ❤, LOVEBITES ROCK

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

Miyako Watanabe is her name, affectionately known as "The Golden Touch" by the other band members. She is a virtuoso on both piano and guitar. This song is a masterpiece she wrote, which shows off her multiple talents. However, the other guitar player, Midori, is equally as talented and shreds the guitar like nobody's business. Asami, the vocalist, even throws in some of her ballet background in this, doing the dying swan right at the end as the camera fades from her and focuses on Miyako. Lovebites is phenomenal and loaded with talent. They won the 2018 Metal Hammer Golden Gods award for best new band. They recently had to replace the bass player when Miho, their founding member decided to leave in August 2021. Fami was hired in October 2022 and is featured on their new album released in February. Fami is a 20 year old phenom on bass. Haruna is the drummer and is ranked in the top 50 of Japanese drummers.

[@paulread4886]

Miyako aka The Golden Touch, how fitting. I will find out from my Japanese friend how to say that in Japanese, maybe it a common phrase for them. Though nothing common about this Princess of Metal. She is also a warrior of music playing a concert while 5 1/2 month pregnant , albeit in flat slippers. Set The World On Fire is the clip. What a hero she is and an inspiration she is to all us musicians.

[@metalmark1214]

I discovered Lovebites 15 months ago and has become my favorite band. Miyako is the one playing piano in the beginning and the end of the song. All of the band members are talented and accomplished. A lot more Lovebites songs to discover.

[@outwest1014]

Music composed by Miyako, piano & guitar; Lyrics by Asami, vocals They are very petite ladies, so they choose to wear white as metal stages are usually dark. White reflects the light making them stand out. Asami, vocals studied ballet when she was younger, but there not much call for 4'10" ballerinas. So she became a Jazz and R&B singer before she was picked by Miho, bass & band founder as their singer. She knew very little about metal music at the time.

[@marting.h.9417]

Thanks for reacting to amazing Lovebites and spreading the world because they deserve more recognition. Yes, Miyako is a concert level classical pianist. Asami used to sing R&B, soul, jazz before she joined the band. All of them are proficient musicians. For you, me next recommendation are "Empty daydream", "Edge of the world", "Epilogue", "Frozen serenade" (all live)

[@ericdarlington2332]

they are all very petite they wear white to stand out on stage the elegance of the outfits is each personal choice, classy as opposed to most other metal groups appearance they always have a positive message in the music and stage presents

[@GrayFox14]

@@hardknox1917 Sorry, but you are wrong. 🤗Wearing regular clothes (not white) LOVEBITES only appear in some of their Music Videos where they sing in the studio. At all concerts, LOVEBITES only in white, starting from the moment the band was formed. On the latest Album "Judgment Day" (February 22, 2023) Ladies in NEW white outfits that were SPECIALLY made for the concerts of the national "Judgement Day Tour 2023" (August - September 2023). LOVEBITES already performed their first two shows in these white dresses in March 2023 in Tokyo. They chose white color for at least three reasons, and they put a certain meaning into it. And LOVEBITES haven't given up on white.

Thank you for this reaction video. Lovebites has been around since 2016, and the women became more famous worldwide after performing at several major festivals, mainly in Europe, starting in 2018. 2018 - Wacken - Open Air in Germany 2018 - Bloodstock Open Air in England 2019 - Graspop Metal Meeting Festival in Belgium 2019 - Download Festival in Spain In 2020, their career was abruptly interrupted by Corona. But they masterfully overcame the crisis, got married and had babies. In 2021 the founder Miho left the band for personal reasons and it went into a hiatus which lasted until the end of 2022. In the fall of 2022 they found a young fantastic bass player and in 2023 they released a new LP. The new LP reached the 5th place in the Japanese charts. Japan is the 2nd largest music market in the world and it is very rare that in these times a rock band comes so far forward.

@@InnaSoloMusic Haruna is just Haruna, never Haruna Ishikawa Midori is Midori. Miyako is just Miyako, (named herself Mi-ya in her early career) They never use their family name as stage name. I don't know why Mr,gitterich says like above. Some fans know their real name, but never call them like that. (Only Midori seems doesn't care much about it. She reveals it in her SNS. I'd heard the band member called her full name, but about other members never had.)

@@lovezhangyan Midori dosent care because she is used to this from here body building time.

[@lovezhangyan]

​@@Kullioking Thank you for reply. Yes, almost fans know Midori's full name and her activity as a body builder.😊 Miyako even tease her in public, calling her " Hercules Tatematsu!", lol. But have you ever heard Midori says, "I don't care...", or "My name is Midori Tatematsu, guitarist of LOVEBITES."? I never. So, I said " She SEEMS doesn't care...". To be exact, it's not even her real name. Because in Japan, no one is allowed to use alphabet in his birth name. Generally speaking, Japanese name written in English represent just for pronunciation, how to read. I can write Midori's real full name in Japanese, and I know she uses Japanese name as a body builder. On the other hand, as a musician, she gives her name as just "Midori" in alphabet and never use Japanese even in Japan. "Midori", "midori", "MIDORI" are o.k. they use these all (probably "midori" in official) but never in Japanese or full name. So, "Midori Tatematsu" in English doesn't make much sense. FYI, "翠", "みどり", "ミドリ", "緑", "美登利", all these Japanese letters can be read as "MIDORI" and are typical familiar Japanese female name. But the meaning is different for each. "翠" means jade, "緑" means green color or greenery, "美登利" means beauty and wisdom" ("みどり"and "ミドリ" are phonogram like midori and no meanings in the letter itself), And Japanese has more countless variations for "Midori". Anyway, lovely lady on this channel is reacting to LOVEBITES, never to body building or that kind. The guitarist on the left side is "Midori".

Hell of a place to start with Lovebites! It's like jumping into the deep end of the pool! As good a place as any though, because everything they do is amazing. That was Miyako on piano (she is stunningly talented - shreds on guitar, is a classical pianist, composes a lot of their music). Asami is the lead singer. Haruna on drums. Miho on bass. The other guitarist is Midori. All ridiculously talented. Miho left the band a little over a year ago and now Fami is their bassist on their current tour and in their newest MVs. They wear all-white to show that metal doesn't have to be all dark and black, and it can have a positive message. Their lyrics are always positive or hopeful in some way. Best metal band in the world right now, and I suggest that you check out more from them if you like metal. This is indeed power metal, but they do power, thrash, progressive - they play and blend a few styles. So many things to recommend that I don't even know what to recommend lol. I'll try a few: If you want another masterpiece like this: Frozen Serenade kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5aboYSMqpKFhJo If you want straight up power metal: Holy War kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJikqaN7paqWpNE If you want thrash: Break the Wall kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4HGYYuBZdGBo7c If you want to be blown away by a show opener: Thunder Vengeance kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4ioaIOneNV6n5Y If you want to be blown away by an encore opener: Awakening - Hammer of Wrath kzbin.info/www/bejne/paWti4OLeNysha8 If you want beautiful vocal harmonies: Empty Daydream kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJyzqZakqLedos0

Thanks for the reaction! "Etude Op.10, No.12" ( or "Revolutionary Etude") by the Great Polish composer Frederic Chopin, which was written in 1831 and is dedicated to the Polish patriots who raised an uprising (1830-1831) against the Russian Empire, whose troops occupied Poland. "Swan Song" ( lyrics - Asami / music - Miyako) from LOVEBITES third studio Album "Electric Pentagram" (2020). For many centuries (starting from Ancient Greece) there is a legend, according to which Swans, non-singing, "silent" birds, acquire a voice a few moments before death, and this dying singing of Swans is amazingly beautiful. "Etude" by F. Chopin and "Swan Song" are dedicated to the warriors who died in battle. Therefore, at the concert, "Etude" and "Swan Song" are played together. In an interview given after the release of the "Electric Pentagram" album, Asami (a former ballerina, studied classical ballet for about 16 years before becoming a singer) said that when she wrote the lyrics of the song, she was thinking about the famous ballet P.I. Tchaikovsky "Swan Lake" . During the performance of the song, Asami imitates the Swan (hand movements). And in the final part (piano Miyako), symbolizing the "death of the Swan", Asami depicts the dying Swan on stage. Because the camera at the end of the song is focused on Miyako playing the piano, Asami's "death of the Swan" was not captured on video. Asami added some Scandinavian mythology (Valhalla) to the lyrics. The attitudes towards death among the Japanese Samurais and the Scandinavian Vikings were very similar. For Samurais and Vikings, death in battle with weapons in their hands is a death worthy of a male warrior. Death in battle is better than death from old age in your bed. All Vikings dreamed of dying in battle because then they could go to Heaven, to Valhalla (the Hall of those killed in battle warriors) where they would meet God Odin and other Vikings who died in battles.

Here is some background on "why" they are playing Chopin--with background on Chopin for your viewers who are not familiar with him: Chopin (pronounced Show-pan) 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 great classical composers, specializing in highly technical works for piano. 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 and Chopin, as well as her stated favorite, Russian romantic composer 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), with a passage from Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto #2 as the outro. For this performance, she actually played the Etude as a prelude, but it’s not normally included in their shows.

Undoubtedly the crowd was chiming in there toward the end, but it was a backing track. Crowds are never that good about being in time and in tune. Regarding their outfits, they once said in an interview that they wear them because they’re so tiny that they would be harder to see if they wore darker colors. Also it goes against the norms of metal culture and creates a contrast with their music. Thanks for taking a look at LOVEBITES! People usually break into the Japanese rock and metal scene with either Babymetal, LOVEBITES, or BAND-MAID, and you’ve already got two of the three.

[@hiawatha.g]

Now that you have some explanation of Chopin making an appearance in a metal concert, Congratulations! You just found the best new metal band to come along in decades. In their first five years of existence, they put themselves on par with the greatest bands of metal’s golden age. Other reviewers have described them as alien superheroes disguised as young women, angels, princesses of metal, and angry bridesmaids. You just jumped in deep end by starting with "Swan Song"! They recently went on a year-and-a half hiatus while they searched for a new bassist. They announced the new bassist in October 2022 (see below) and dropped their first new song on December 22. Their new album, “Judgement Day”, was released two months later. Some background: They were formed in 2016 from the remnants of a legendary all-girl Japanese metal band called Destrose (yes, all-girl metal has been a thing in Japan since at least 1981). Miho (bass, chief headbanger and founder of the band) had a vision of a new band in the style of the great European bands of the golden age of metal. She recruited her former bandmate Haruna (drums, 4'9" “pocket nuclear reactor”); they needed two world-class guitarists, and so they went and found Midori and Miyako, who were with other groups. The four of them then found Asami, the singer, who was doing soul and blues at the time (she was also trained in ballet). Miyako has composed a little more than half of their music, with Miho composing a lot of their thrashier songs in collaboration with Mao, the lead composer of another band called Lightbringer. Midori has also been getting into the act, and they regularly perform a song written by Haruna as well. Asami writes most of the lyrics and is also getting involved in composing. In mid-2021, Miho left the band she had founded, for personal reasons. They went on hiatus while they searched for a new bassist, and during that time, two of them had babies, even as the band were writing and rehearsing their new album. They recently announced the new bassist, Fami, who is a young phenom and herself a composer and multi-instrumentalist. Their first song with Fami is “Judgement Day” kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2TYeJ2mYrVqeqs The instrumentalists studied all the great historical metal bands going back to Purple and Sabbath, through Maiden, Priest, Metallica, Helloween, Slayer etc. They have incorporated some of the best of each of those bands into their arsenal, and have created a sound that is fresh and cutting edge while paying tribute to the old masters. They toured with Dragonforce in 2019, and word from those in attendance was that next time around, it will be the ladies headlining. They do everything from soulful power ballads to heavy thrash. Almost every song includes face-melting solos by Miyako and Midori. The two guitarists are quite different in style and tone. Midori (blonde ponytail) is the extrovert and speed demon; Miyako is the introvert, with the more soulful feel (though she can also shred like crazy). Midori uses a cleaner tone, Miyako uses more distortion, pinch harmonics and pedal effects. The contrast makes their duets rich and dynamic. It doesn’t hurt that either one can smoke most of the shredders in the classic metal bands. As another reviewer said, "It seems criminal these two are allowed to be in the same band." Here are more clips you should check out: “Set the World on Fire” kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2rdpHtsnqySbMU from their 2021 concert DVD “Heavy Metal Never Dies”. “Don’t Bite the Dust” kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXnRfHp7n5Z2g8U, from the same concert; "Edge of the World" and "We the United", back to back: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZ2TXohjrtB9ebc They form an incredible journey from darkness and despair to light and hope. Also, “Empty Daydream”, which starts as a ballad and becomes a real rocker: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oonLkKiDgp5noLc; Perhaps their greatest masterpiece, a showcase of multi-instrumental virtuosity and even classical dance “A Frozen Serenade” kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5aboYSMqpKFhJo; And their most reacted-to video, “Holy War”: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJikqaN7paqWpNE For a thrasher with heavy Slayer and Metallica vibes, “Break the Wall” kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4HGYYuBZdGBo7c includes two gorgeous and completely contrasting solos by M&M. For a heart-stopping ballad, “Epilogue” kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6rRn4t6m6qhpLs (this includes a second song, your choice whether or not to react to both) While you will sometimes hear you should only react to live clips, actually their MV’s are epic and worth seeing. Here are four of the most spectacular: "Shadowmaker" kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKPQoJ-kaqyrq9U This is the song that blew up and melted faces all over the world "When Destinies Align" kzbin.info/www/bejne/nn2plp9_bpiJoa8 "Glory to the World" kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6itpXdojaqLfpY "Winds of Transylvania" kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqSoZYiYlLWdnpo. Finally, the audio tracks of some of the new album are up on youtube, and worth checking out. The band clearly came out swinging and wanted to make a statement. Every song on the album is a showcase of their incredible talent and songwriting capabilities. “Stand and Deliver” is a thrasher with a fun video of them in the studio. “Soldier Stands Solitarily”, the final song on the album, is being touted by some as the best thing they’ve done so far-I encourage you to see and decide for yourself! You'll get lots of suggestions, just one thing: don't bother with Bloodstock footage, the sound quality is poor. Best to take suggestions with actual links. Also, you can’t go wrong with any of their official clips. Welcome to the Wolf-Pack!

Yes they play a similar genre like Dragonforce, but Lovebites is more varied (and heavier on other songs.) Dragonforce have invited Lovebites in 2019 for UK tour If you like Lovebites songs with piano elements, please check out: Frozen Serenade or Empty Daydream.

Lovebites chose to wear white to break away from the stereotypical black that most wear in metal music and felt wearing white dresses would help them stand out. Though image is important in the music industry, it's the music that makes a band. And as you heard, the music is insanely good. They are, to me, one of the most talented if not the most talented band in metal these days. They are all master musicians and songwriters who write great lyrics and have an amazing vocalist. As you go down the Lovebites rabbit hole, you will find there are many different layers to their sound, from traditional 80s-style metal to thrash metal to power metal. I have been a fan for around 3 years now and I cannot get enough of them.

[@paulread4886]

The singer Asami is an ex ballet dancer , with 16yrs of training and performing. before this band sh was an Rn B singer doing Whitney, Mariah etc songs in small clubs and bars. All of the member have a background in piano from 4ys old.

[@alekhidell]

Lovebites set out to play metal without sacrificing their femininity. Not only did they succeed but any male fan of metal, once hearing them, is basically resigned to the fact that they perform the genre better than any male or mixed band ever. They are effortlessly talented, beautifully creative, fun, generous and very appreciative of their fan base. They are, put simply, the best. Ever.

[@pedrusappregianka4938]

Lovebites (stylized as LOVEBITES) is a Japanese power metal band, formed in 2016 by former Destrose members Miho and Haruna. Its lineup currently consists of Haruna on drums, Midori and Miyako on guitar, Asami on vocals, and Fami on bass. After signing to Victor Entertainment, the group released both their debut EP and their first album in 2017, The Lovebites EP and Awakening from Abyss, before performing their first overseas concerts at the end of the year. With another EP and album released in 2018, Battle Against Damnation and Clockwork Immortality, Lovebites quickly garnered international attention and won that year's Metal Hammer Golden Gods Award for Best New Band. Following the releases of Electric Pentagram (2020) and Glory, Glory, to the World (2021), bassist Miho left the band in August 2021. After a year-long hiatus, Lovebites recruited Fami on bass and released Judgement Day, their fourth album, in February 2023. It is their highest-charting record to date, reaching number 5 on both the Oricon and Billboard Japan charts.

Lovebites best heavy metal band and Band-Maid best hard rock band

[@gatograto]

Yes, genius is the right word for Miyako. She really is. The reason why Swan Song came with Chopin Revolutionary Etude. First of all Miyako loves romantic era classic music. You can hear Dovolzark's Symphony The New World as a motif in Swan Song as well. Miyako takes Rachmaninov and Beethoven in her song writing as well. Secondary, you know the story in the background of Revolutionary Etude how it came to the world. The Polish Cadet Revolution and how Chopin wrote this etude. Read the lyrics of Swan Song. The etude and Swan Song have the mutual theme. Hence, those two pieces are like a suite. I recommend Rising for your next reaction to Lovebites. Miyako does a magic again there. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJ_GmmuBqb19hs0&pp=ygUQbG92ZWJpdGVzIHJpc2luZw%3D%3D

[@Glen.Black.]

Fun Fact you would not expect: Miyako (pianist/lead guitarist) comes across as very demure, and probably is, even though she is a total bad ass on guitar. She has several pets, two of which are an Owl and a Python. Not what you would expect, given the appearance of her demeanor and personality. If you told me that the other lead guitarist (Midori) had those pets, it would not surprise me at all.

[@shazariahl]

This song is a masterpiece check out frozen serenade, and if you want something heavier try set the world on fire or thunder vengeance (both live). As for the dresses, they wanted something to help them stand out from the usual black of other metal bands. It also makes them more visible since they are all quite small irl.

[@clintashcraft579]

Haruna (Drums) Little Big Engine 4'9" tall, Asami (Vocals) The One And Only Voice 4'10" tall, Midori (Blonde Guitarist) Crazy Shredder 4'11" tall, Miho (Bass) Natural-born Headbanger 5'1" tall, Miyako (Dark Haired Guitarist/Keyboard) 5'2" tall. All of their songs are either great or masterpieces, but I'd like to recommend (Edge of the World, and Epilogue, also A Frozen Serenade). You won't be disappointed!!!!!!

[@GrayFox14]

LOVEBITES is a heavy metal band that mainly plays speed, thrash, power, progressive metal, classical music. Some of the band's songs contain elements of hard rock and symphonic metal. LOVEBITES is the best thing that has appeared in the world of metal in the last 20 years . You will be able to verify this if you continue your journey into the World of LOVEBITES (since 2017, the band has recorded about 60 original songs and musical compositions + 3 covers of songs from other bands : HALESTORM ,HELLOWEEN, JUDAS PRIEST ). LOVEBITES is a phenomenal band, all the ladies are talented, extraordinarily technical musicians ! But, unfortunately, for most metal fans in Europe and America, LOVEBITES is like a distant planet in the Galaxy, the existence of which they do not even suspect.☹ LOVEBITES are the GODDESSES of heavy metal! These Ladies play like GODDESSES , are dressed as GODDESSES of Ancient Greece (white dresses with gold), won the prestigious Metal Hammer GOLDEN GODS Award for "Best New Band" ( 2018, London, UK). The winners of the GOLDEN GODS Award in different years and in various categories were such famous bands and musicians,such as: BLACK SABBATH, IRON MAIDEN, MOTöRHEAD, JUDAS PRIEST, TWISTED SISTER, OZZY OSBOURNE, LEMMY KILMISTER, ZAKK WYLDE, NIKKI SIXX, JOE PERRY, ANTHRAX, SLAYER, TESTAMENT, SAXON, NIGHTWISH, TRIVIUM, RAMMSTEIN, SABATON, CHILDREN OF BODOM, ARCH ENEMY, MACHINE HEAD (and this is not a complete list). Although some well-known music critics call LOVEBITES the QUEENS of metal.🤗 LOVEBITES is a Japanese all-female heavy metal band, formed in 2016 by former Japanese heavy metal band DESTROSE members Miho( bass,backing vocals) and Haruna(drums). The band has successfully performed at various major international rock-festivals many times .In the spring of 2018, LOVEBITES performed on the Japanese leg of the Warped Tour. In August 2018, they performed at Wacken Open Air (Germany), becoming the first Japanese all-female rock band to perform at the festival in the history of the festival (since 1990). Also in August 2018 they performed on the main stage of Bloodstock Open Air (UK). In 2019, LOVEBITES performed at the Download Festival in Donington (UK) and Download Festival in Madrid (Spain). Their performance in Donington was named by the festival organizers and Metal Hammer magazine as one of the highlights of the festival! In the same year they performed at the Graspop Metal Meeting (Belgium) and the Summer Sonic Festival (Japan). Unfortunately, the Covid pandemic that began in 2020 prevents LOVEBITES from performing at festivals and forced a drastic reduction of concerts. LOVEBITES' third Studio Album "Electric Pentagram" (2020) was included by Metal Hammer (April 2020) in "Top 20 Metal Albums of 2020" . LOVEBITES' EP "Glory, Glory, to the World" (2021) was nominated for the 2021 Global Metal Apocalypse Award as "Global Metal Release of the Year" and won #2 place. LOVEBITES' fourth Studio Album "Judgement Day" (February 22, 2023) topped the iTunes Metal Chart on its first day of release in countries:: JAPAN: #1; UK: #1; US: # 1; CANADA: #1; GERMANY: #1; SPAIN: #1; AUSTRALIA: #1 ; NETHERLANDS: #1; SWEDEN: #1; FRANCE: #2 Thanks for the reaction !👍

[@DarrellW_UK]

Nice reaction, hope you enjoyed it, they’re really good!

[@terror1966]

The last piano peice Miyako plays at the end of the song always reminds me of the band Arcturus .The Chopin / classical influence stretches far . If anyone hasn,t heard Arcturus they are , I guess ,a progressive Black metal ?? supergroup . Don,t let the Black Metal moniker fool you . These guys are above and beyond , just like Lovebites

[@oliphant2848]

To answer your questions: 1. Why did they play a Chopin étude? To show off, basically. Miyako often plays a piano solo piece in concerts. 2. What's with their outfits? A marketing decision. In Japan, you need to stand out optically, and they opted for the white dresses because the founder, bassist Miho, was tired of wearing black on stage. 3. Was that the crowd singing? No, it was a backing track. If you listen closely, you can also hear a piano backing track during the chorus. The rest is live; they play along to a click track to synchronize with the backing track.

[@pometele]

Since you liked it, you may try next from Lovebites: A Frozen Serenade (ballad), Shadowmaker (power metal), Raise Some Hell (metallic hard rock with much fun on stage), Set the World on Fire (thrash metal). There are so many other songs, it is really very hard to take a pick from their catalogue.

Many of their songs incorporate elements of classical music. Much of this is influenced by the talent of classical pianist and composer Miyako. Miyako said. “I feel that one of my roles is to create songs that incorporate elements of classical music into metal.” Why should metal and classical music merge? . This question is also stupid. In the first place, I think that excellent musicians do not have the concept of "distinguishing music by genre". Classifying music as classical, rock, or ***metal (=power metal, death metal, progressive metal, etc.) is a meaningless task for musicians themselves. I (I'm not a musician) also think like this. "There is only one genre in music, 'music'." ---------- from Nippon *It is a sentence using Google translation. I hope I conveyed my intentions correctly.

😘 * * * • If this was the last day you could live on this earth • World 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 - • 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 * * * ► The words of this song were written by the lyricist-songwriter and vocalist of the Japanese metal band Lovebites - Asami, back in 2019, long before 02/24/2022… ► Already at the very first listening (on the album “Electric Pentagram” of 2020), the melodious music, insightful performance, the very essence and symbolism of the lyrics cause a flutter in the heart. ► A song about heroism, about someone who, being an ordinary person, turned into a soldier, a zealot of his own destiny and freedom, an uncompromising defender of his family, loved ones and the Motherland. From a gray, frightened commoner to a brave soldier-protector - one step, a step of re-evaluating the true values of life in times when your friends and relatives are tortured and killed, and you yourself, in the best case, await the fate of a hidden slave under the heel of a bloody invader. ► A hero at the call of his own conscience, ready to sacrifice his own life for the will and lives of others - he goes to the end, overcoming fear and death. He carries out the greatest work of his life... perhaps the last - this is his "swan song". ► At live performances, Lovebites concerts, the performance of “Swan Song” is immediately preceded by “Etude revolutionnaire Op. 10, No. 12 (c-moll)", the so-called "Revolutionary Etude" by F. Chopin, which is masterfully played on the piano by the guitarist, pianist and one of the band's composers - Miyako. With this in mind, the meaning of the words Asami wrote becomes completely clear. After all, F. Chopin wrote his most famous work in exile, at a time when, in the 1830s, in his homeland, the invaders from the russian empire brutally butchered the participants of the Polish liberation uprising and terrorized the local population en masse. Having almost no chance of victory, the Polish rebels fought to the last for freedom and their relatives... ► “Swan Song” was one of the first Lovebites songs that made me instantly fall in love with this incredibly talented band. And from 24.02.2022, the "Swan Song" will forever sound directly in my heart, because - how many professional soldiers, and even more - those ordinary people, who (in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine or territorial defense) proudly stood up to defend their will , freedom, Motherland? There are hundreds of thousands of them! At the call of the soul, they fearlessly create History, protecting literally tens of millions of lives behind their shoulders. And thousands of these Heroes have already sung their "swan song" and departed... "...Till the end of time". ► On February 24, 2022, when the first enemy rockets flew overhead, during the panic, the same “Swan Song” sounded in my ears as if for the first time, as if right now Asami is looking through my eyes at the burning airfields, barracks, schools and hospitals... right now she sees the long lines of people lining up at territorial assembly centers to get their weapons and stop the invading terrorist... like she's writing the lyrics to the "Swan Song" right now.

The outfits don’t match the music? I think that that is your bias Inna not theirs. Metal was predominantly developed by long haired black leather clad men with a demonic/horror/aggressive undertone. Why should metal produced by women follow the same stereotype. They play this brand of metal as well as anyone else around today but retain their femininity which is a massively powerful statement. IMHO they should be required viewing in every girls secondary school to underscore that there are NO boundaries in life. See it and believe it!!!!! ‘Holy War’ live should be next and then to get a bit more of their individual personalities the latest MV ‘Stand and deliver (shoot em down)’ where you will see them in the studio without the stage outfits. They have a brilliant catalogue of music though even in their relatively short lifespan as there are simply no poor tracks.

Sorry it didn't work for you. Classical and Metal are musically 'joined at the hip'. Miyako's (piano/guitar/composer) genius in melding the two together is part of what makes Lovebites my favorite Metal Band.
