Hey Wolfpack, the next reaction on LOVEBITES will be the song "Winds Of Transylvania"! You can find the videos on which I recorded a reaction (published or not) in my "Reactions Recorded" playlist ! Yesterday I published a video on the song "Carry Dawn" by the group DIO -Distraught Overlord-. If you don't know this song (or like it), I invite you to watch the video! Thanks, good video!

[@dg3258]

This is the Miyako show of course but Haruna's fills are just sick. Our 4' 9" little BIG Engine continues to amaze me. Great reaction to a masterpiece! 🤘

[@evilvolts]

To really see the 2 bassist differences there is one song both have performed live that highlights little bass solos within the song Miho- The Awakening/The Hammer of Wrath kzbin.info/www/bejne/paWti4OLeNysha8 Fami- Hammer of wrath /Live heavens gate kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnnViIWKZa-Yl8U

Melodious, furious and graceful!! Our metal goddesses.

Miyako wrote Swan Song, and said she used elements of Chopin and Dvorak's New World Symphony. Asami wrote the lyrics - she writes the majority of Lovebites Lyrics. Miho left for what she called 'personal' reasons about a year and a half after her father died - which seemed to hit her quite hard. She stayed with the band to record a song they were working on - Nameless Warrior. The band did the first live version of the song on their new BluRay *Knockin' at Heaven's Gate* , and recently released that Live concert video of Nameless Warrior as a promotional MV for the BluRay. They also just announced that they are playing the Prog Power Festival in the US next September! So they will probably be playing gigs in the US and EU next year. 🙂 🤘🐺🐺🐺🤘

[@mida_off]

I hope I can see them in Europe! 🐺🤘

[@johnpaul4784]

Miyako a adapté la Revolution Etude de Frédéric CHOPIN pour l'intro et pareil pour la Symphonie du nouveau Monde d'Anton Dvorak à la fin. J" ai 71 ans et dans ma jeunesse j'ai parcouru l'Europe et vu les plus grands groupes (Iron Maiden, Nazareth, Megadeth, Metallica, Judas Priest, Motley Crue, etc) et avec tout le respect que je leur doit je peux dire que ces jeunes femmes forment le meilleur groupe de l'histoire du métal avec les 2 meilleures guitares jumelles

[@mida_off]

La symphonie du nouveau monde a inspiré tellement d'autres oeuvres géniales, encore une fois ici c'est une réussite !

[@marting.h.9417]

I really appreciate your reactions to amazing Lovebites and spreading the word because they deserve more recognition.

[@mida_off]

Thank you ! 🐺🤘

In the background another Chopin etude: Ocean, always played by Miyako (the golden touch). The blond hair guitarist Midori is the "crazy shredded"!

[@mida_off]

so much reference inside this song, I love it !

[@gillesmurat7362]

Miho (Rosana) l'ex bassiste de Destrose, puis de Lovebites dont elle en fut la créatrice avec Haruna (elle aussi ex membre de Destrose), Miho, donc joue actuellement dans le groupe CHAOS CONTROL, dont on peut voir un Music video ici : kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnbKgYFsn912d8U&ab_channel=CHAOSCONTROL

[@mida_off]

Merci !

[@christophegadiffert5936]

cette chanson me fait toujours le même effet, surtout le duo piano / guitard, Midori et Myako, chair de poule assurée 😍😍 sinon Giulia est la plus belle catcheuse de la Stardom, beau choix pour la fin de ta vidéo.

[@mida_off]

j'adore Giulia, je pense que ça va vraiment devenir une star internationale 🤞

[@4nta2]

Elements of Chopin's Etude, a piece of music, are scattered throughout the piece.

[@mida_off]

thanks 🐺👍

[@obud3777]

Midori’s black guitar is the same E-II Horizon FR, but this one is in drop D tuning, the Reindeer blue one is in standard tuning.

[@mida_off]

thank you !!

[@boyzyu]

The Chopin intro is "Étude Op. 10, No. 12 in C minor", aka "Revolutionary Étude". You can hear parts of the étude in Miyako's ("Golden Touch") solo and the main riff. She also rearranged elements of Antonín Dvořák's "New World Symphony" and incorporated that into "Swan Song's" chorus. Midori ("Crazy Shredder") uses exclusively ESP guitars, primarily E-II Horizons with Floyd Roses. She has these in 2 colors, one purple and one black, each with a different tuning for different Studio and LIVE tracks. The next song you should check out is the one towards the end of this reaction where you stopped the video - "A Frozen Serenade" LIVE : kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5aboYSMqpKFhJo

[@mida_off]

thank you for all the precisions !

[@outwest1014]

NEXT - "Hammer of Wrath" live from the latest concert. It's with Fami on bass.

[@mida_off]

it's on my list

[@mmcpa]

This song is the Miyako Show. Lead guitarist, pianist, and composer. There is no true word as to why Miho left. Different people, like myself, have different theories. All I can say is that if you follow Lovebites, and see what the sisterhood looks like now with Fami, something was amiss. The glowing happiness we see now wasn't there.

[@mida_off]

Maybe something was broken between her. The band seems to have gotten back together well with this new bassist, I hope the old one is happy too.

[@fab1901]

Midori(G) [ESP E-II Horizon FR QM Purple]. Midori's guitar looks "purple" in the live video. Original color not in the catalog. The quilted maple grain is beautifully visible through the purple see-through paint. Pickups were replaced with gold humbuckers. Pickups are Seymour Duncan, SH-1n '59 model in the front and SH-15 Alternative 8 in the rear. Other metal parts were also changed to gold. [ESP E-II Horizon FR QM Reindeer Blue]. The above guitar has been used mainly in past live performances and music videos (such as "Glory to the World"). The original pickups were replaced with silver humbuckers, which were replaced with gold humbuckers a few years ago. Other metal parts were also replaced with gold, Midori's favorite color. Pickups are Seymour Duncan, with an SH-1n in the front and an SH-15 in the rear. [ESP E-II Horizon FR Black]. This guitar is mainly used for recording. Sometimes used for live performance depending on the song. For Drop D tuning, used in "Bravehearted," "Stand And Deliver (Shoot 'em Down)," "Shadowmaker," "Break The Wall," "Judgement Day," and "Glory To The World". Black HORIZON used in "Bravehearted", "Stand And Deliver (Shoot 'em Down)", "Break The Wall", "Judgement Day", "Glory To The World", etc. It has almost the same specs as the above purple model, but a different front pickup (Seymour Duncan Sentient) was selected. Pickups are Seymour Duncan, Sentient in the front and SH-15 in the rear. [ESP FRX E-II SW Solid Body Snow White] The bridge and other metal parts were replaced with gold. Pickups were replaced with EMG "88". The above guitar has been used by Midori since the days of her former band "Gekijo★Metallic"("激情★めたりっちぇ") and was also used when she joined LOVEBITES. It is also used in the music videos and live performances of "Don't Bite The Dust," "The Crusade," "The Shadowmaker," and "Rising.

thank you for all this details !! 🐺🤘

[@nandonj3662]

For Fami I would suggest as nickname "The metal smile" !!

[@mida_off]

🐺🤘

[@obud3777]

The nicknames came from the band members themselves, maybe they come up with a nickname for Fami

[@mida_off]

I wonder what it will be!

[@GrayFox14]

I'll try to answer your questions. 1. In LOVEBITES all the ladies (including new bassist Fami) can play the piano. Suffice it to say that the piano was the first instrument that all the ladies started playing. Midori (blonde) started playing piano at age TWO, Miho (bass) started playing piano at age FIVE, Miyako (brunette) started playing piano at age THREE, etc. 2. Were you surprised that Midori (the blonde) changes guitars? During this concert, Midori used 3 guitars, Miyako (brunette) used 4 guitars. This is normal for musicians. Different guitars have different tunings. 3. LOVEBITES often use piano in their concerts. It is not necessary to transport it to different cities during a concert Tour. A piano can be rented in any major city where the band is giving a concert. 4. You watched TWO works: 'Revolutionary Etude' (F. Chopin) and 'Swan Song' (LOVEBITES). Why the ladies performed these two works together at the concert is a separate topic. There is too much to write to explain this. 5.Miyako (brunette) is called "The Golden Touch" not only because she plays piano, keyboards and guitar well. She received this nickname because everything Miyako touches as a musician turns into “gold”. To make it more clear to you, Miyako is a musical genius and a talented composer. Miyako - Mozart of the 21st century. She wrote about 50% of the music for LOVEBITES. 6. Sorry, but your joke about Miho (bass) was very unfortunate. You are being unfair to her. Listen to LOVEBITES with good headphones, not a phone headset. Then you will hear her bass. Miho didn't leave the band because she was bored. Miho is an experienced and excellent bass player. But she is a rather modest person. On stage, Miho stayed behind most of the time . She allowed Midori, Miyako and Asami (lead vocals) to receive most of the audience's attention and applause. To make it clearer for you..... if it weren’t for Miho, LOVEBITES would not exist. There would be no such band. LOVEBITES appeared precisely thanks to Miho's idea to create such a band. LOVEBITES is her 'dream band'. Miho shared her ideas with Haruna (drums). She invited Haruna (who had retired from music at that time) to join her and together they found the remaining members. Miho was the brains and leader of the band. Thanks to Miho's ideas and her vision of the development path, an unknown new band from Japan very quickly gained international recognition. The next year after the creation of the band, LOVEBITES already gave 3 concerts in London (2017)! Two years after the band's formation, LOVEBITES received the prestigious GOLDEN GODS award from Metal Hammer (London, June 2018). Etc. ...Etc. It was Miho who came up with the ideas: the musical concept (what kind of music the new band will play), the performance of songs in English, on stage in white dresses (which is not typical for metal bands and may not be accepted by fans of metal in the West, which Miho was primarily focused on when I created the band). Even the choice of Asami as a vocalist (who did not know what heavy metal was and was a performer of Soul, R&B, Jazz) was thanks to Miho. During her time in LOVEBITES (2016-2021), Miho wrote 23% of the songs (lyrics and music). Most of the band's thrash songs were written by Miho! There was a tragedy in Miho's personal life (August 2018), which greatly affected her . The consequences of this tragedy followed Miho for 3 years, until her departure from LOVEBITES in August 2021. I don't want to go into details (this is Miho's personal life). I can only recommend checking out the song “Journey to the Otherside”, which LOVEBITES performed at a concert in 2019. This song was written by Miho and while performing this song, Miho starts crying... For many months, the rest of the ladies and the LOVEBITES team tried to convince Miho to stay. But she left in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. This is a very short story about Miho. I could write a lot more, but the text is already very long. Please don't joke about Miho like that again. You don’t know a lot and such jokes towards Miho sound like an insult. Nothing personal. Just facts.

[@mida_off]

The problem when you do humor is that it either makes or breaks. You can imagine that I didn't think that was why she left the band, it was a joke to bring up my serious question of why she left. Obviously if his departure is due to a tragic event, the joke would seem out of place, but at the time I'm filming I don't know the reason at all. I'm sorry if as a fan you took this as a lack of respect towards her, that was not the intention at all. If you saw my reaction to “Holy War”, I was highlighting her !vHaving been a bass player myself, I was totally in the same mindset of letting others shine. Thanks to her for creating and developing the band ! Thanks for all the others informations ! Let's love LOVEBITES hand in hand ! Peace and love 🐺🤘

[@GrayFox14]

@@mida_off Thanks for the answer. 🤝Thanks for understanding. 🙏I don't blame you. I understand that you didn't know why Miho left. That's why I wrote so much and tried to explain some points. Including those that concern Miho. I can advise you, in addition to 'Journey to the Otherside' (LOVEBITES), to check out the new Music Video with Miho, called 'The Legacy Within' by CHAOS CONTROL (on YTube from August 23, 2023). As a bassist, Miho participated in the recording of the new CHAOS CONTROL Album (11 tracks), which is called 'The Legacy Within' and was released on September 20, 2023.🤘

Wanted to look up, if you got the recommended version with the Chopin piano intro, but then: Your link to the OV leads to Judgement Day (live), that's a "Copy & Paste" mistake...
