Miyako is a generational talent who is a virtuoso on BOTH the guitar and piano. She also composed & arranged "Swan Song" and this track is a neoclassical metal masterpiece. Throughout the song, you can hear motifs from Romantic-era composers Chopin (intro, main riff, solo) and Dvořák (Chorus). Miyako's piano intro is Chopin's "Étude Op. 10, No. 12 in C minor", aka the "Revolutionary Étude". The piano backing track in the chorus was necessary for the completeness of this song and it was pre-recorded by Miyako. It had to be played as a backing track since our maestro can't play both the guitar and piano at the same time (she actually did in another LIVE show but that's another story). To experience another masterpiece which also showcases how truly talented this band is, check out "A Frozen Serenade" LIVE : kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXbNf2qads1npc0

[@kevinbowland4686]

The entire band is a dopamine fic. Miyako is mesmerizing. Her talent level is other-worldly.

[@LongStroke01]

The most talented band on earth, period.

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 through despair Ignorance is bliss, it’s easier to never 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 SOLO: miyako / both 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 SOLO: midori [guitar] / miyako [piano] ----- lyrics: asami music: miyako arrangement: miyako & LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) album: Electric Pentagram 01/29/2020 ------

[@Dante94]

If you enjoyed seeing her jump back and forth between guitar and piano that much you need to check out Burden of Time (live in studio) next. That song she doesn't bother switching, she just says "I'm gonna play these both at the same time."

[@TheVleckChannel]

Lovebites is the greatest "Because of course" band out there.

[@jetuglobke7164]

She can sing as well. Check out Empty Daydream, Live Tokyo 2019. Plays the piano, sings harmonies, duelling guitars.

[@hiawatha.g]

For your viewers who are unfamiliar: Chopin 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. "Etude" is French for "study". Chopin's Etudes were written as "studies", or lessons, for his students. They ended up being popular things for professional pianists to play as part of their concerts, in part to show off their skills. This is one of the more famous ones and is considered one of the most difficult ones. 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). For this performance, she actually played the Etude as the intro, but it’s not normally included in their shows.

[@stand.and.deliver.5]

New EP and also a Blu-ray will be released on August 28. „LOVEBITES EP II“ will also contain a re-recording of the debut „LOVEBITES EP“ in a limited edition „Memorial of the Warrior Souls“ is the recording of last years paid livestream which features 7 live versions from „Judgement Day“ album including „Soldier stand solitarily“

[@obud3777]

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

[@aldomattera2043]

thanks for great comments. "swan song" is epic and glorious, but these ladies can be very funny as well: for example, "Stand and deliver" OMV 2023, and "Raise some hell" LIVE 2020.

[@ahodori-dl5hz]

Some knowledge of history is required to understand the meaning of the lyrics of this song. 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 known as the 'November Revolution', but failed 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 representatives presented the Etude OP 10, No. 12 in Paris. Franz Liszt, a friend of Chopin, then named it the '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 inspired by Norse mythology and the ballet suite "Swan Lake", based on the historical background of the "Revolutionary Etude". "SwanSong" is a requiem for the warriors who fought to reclaim their homeland, a masterpiece that only Love Bites could complete.

[@13uomini]

If You want to see the real power of this Ladies watch the live version of SSS (soldier stands solitarily) in Milano 2024. I was there, and i can assure you that was incredible, better than this official videos live!

[@kgspollux6998]

Seems that these ladies founded a new level of metal musicianship - hitting you on a deeper level of emotions. What a new enrichment. More of this? Then enjoy "A Frozen Serenade" as next recommendation. Or the other direction? Then get thrilled by "Break The Wall" . . . .

[@emilkostov6271]

They are Lovebites. They are the Creators of metal History. Thea tell us a story

[@ericsaari2901]

Greatest band in the world. This song belongs in a museum. Check out Frozen Serenade (live) if you haven't. It's sits right there next to this one. I would then recommend checking out all of the "E" songs (Edge of the World, Empty Daydream (2019), Epilogue).

[@jaronfranklin1]

I live in Japan and it’s actually considered rude to have your phone out during a concert. All the shows I’ve been to not a phone in sight just people enjoying the experience it’s quite refreshing

[@susanfitzsimons2384]

Oh I forgot to tell you Miyako did an LP of 6 metal songs she converted to classical pieces. Try Helloween's Eagle Fly Free kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5mWc3-IqJWLqJY and really get to hear her piano skills at work!!!!!!

[@1970Phoenix]

A MASTERPIECE.

[@alastairmcintyre4752]

BTW - on a serious note the reason you didn't see any phones is that they are banned at all Japanese gigs ( save for a VERY few isolated occasions which are closely monitored - and brief )

[@susanfitzsimons2384]

Are you sh$$ing me......LMAO. Yeah this band and the insane talent is an experience each time. The Wolfpack (fanbase) always tells you that LIVE they will often surprise but will NEVER disappoint. Now get ready to hear acoustic guitar, piano and Asami's ballet dance, Frozen Serenade LIVE kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXbNf2qads1npc0 You will be picking your jaw up.

[@sonnynguyen9103]

Great reaction folks. Thank you for reacting to Lovebites, the most talented ladies in metal.

[@lopezbruno3074]

great reaction. I was at the Lovebites show in Paris, las t tuesday evening, and that was Fire. The girls will be at the Hellfest this Weekend. The Hellfest is the biggest metal festival in France and one of the bigest in Europe

[@alexblane-layder3902]

LOVEBITES the gift that keeps on givin`and givin´!!!!!

[@CDMS_pt]

Masterpiece. That's the reason i don't go to concerts anymore, phones.

[@mmcpa]

The Miyako Show

[@grantnealon5101]

Another great reaction guys.. Lol can't wait to see your reaction to seeing her playing chords on her guitar with one hand and a piano run with the other in their song Burden of time studio live, or their over handed double tapping solo in the song Signs of deliverance live from their Zepp divercity concert in Tokyo in 2020 Best wishes from France 🤘🇨🇵

[@marks5451]

Add ballet to the list of LOVEBITES skills.

[@alexanderrichter9740]

The Album "Judgement Day" was produced when they got no Bass Player. So it was Myako who played the Bass Part. The MV was with Fami but played by Myako

[@billozzy5760]

When this concert happened I didn't know them........I wonder how i feel if I went to this concert and saw them to play this (among the others).....

[@davidtormaschy9988]

For this show, Thunder Vengeance starts of the concert and it is a banger!!!

[@phillipgross1887]

yes......these Ladies are friggin amazing.........enjoy!!!!!!!

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

Great reaction again. Lovebites blew my mind over and over and compelled me to buy all their music and merchandise. They quickly became my favorite band. I believe there are still a few tickets left to their shows in LA and Dallas in September.

[@Quadro1961]

You have to check out Break the Wall next. Best thrash song by them. From the same show, live Zep Diver city 2020.

[@gt1man931]

Haha, no one cares if you have comments during the solos. But, if you have a conversation with each other over the solos, then you can fuck right off with that because you aren't listening any longer. These women are all virtuoso level musicians and the fanbase will tell you if you disrespect them.

[@13uomini]

In the background there is another Chopin etude: Ocean, always recorded by Miyako!

[@FaintlyTapping]

Behold, the power of Miyako!

[@kielanuar213]

Masterpiece. Lovebites, one of a kind metal band 👍🤘🔥

This was actually not the intro song for this show. If you want to see how they entered, watch Lovebites - Thunder Vengeance Live @ Zepp Divercity Tokyo 2020

[@JonBowser-s7f]

The star cymbals are just for looks, she actually just spins them

[@robgarcia3259]

Do yourself the favor and checkout their song Break the wall. Absolutely a kick ass banger.

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

I'm not from Japan, but I believe that they have restrictions against using phones and recording devices at live concerts in Japan. Someone who lives there can correct me if I am wrong.

[@GrayFox14]

I'm looking at your third reaction ... and every time I see that while performing songs, you both talk too much. Instead of listening carefully. At the moment when a person speaks, his brain cannot fully perceive the information coming into it from the outside. From spectators who came to a concert, you turn into fans who came to football, hockey, basketball, etc. match. If you listened carefully to all the songs of LOVEBITES (without being distracted by conversations), then you would like them even more! Tested by personal experience. Nothing personal. Songs you checked from different concerts (2021 and 2020)

[@RobinC63]

Thank you for writing this. You are totally correct.

[@GrayFox14]

@@RobinC63 Thank you!

[@KaBeeM]

I read at some point that when Miyako still has piano parts to come in a concert she is nervous and anxious and that's when she looks bored and ice cold. only after the last piano part has been played can she relax. Now, I saw them live in germany about a week ago and they didn't have a piano with them, they only played songs that didn't need it and for the most part I would say she seemed a bit more cheerful and engaged... though she definitely still had that far away, bored look a bunch of times^^ either way it was a great show and a lot of fun in a comparetively small club.

[@TL-MetalHead]

Great reaction, I like it. Try something totally different. One of the best ballad you ever heard, song "Epilogue", Miyako (dark hair guitarist) playing on 3 instruments, Midori (other guitarist) plays on 2.

[@garykeeling2275]

Miyako isn't actuallly bored. She is naturally more introverted than Midori, but they made a deliberate artistic decision to play up those differences for a sort of Yin-Yang effect during the 2020 and 2021 tours, If you watch earlier concerts, like Daughters of the Down (2019) and their appearances at Bloodstock and Wacken, Miyako is a lot more animated. They also ditched that theme after the 2021 tour, and she is again much more animated in the 2023 and 2024 shows. You are correct about Haruna's star cymbal, It is her signature thing dating back to her days in Destrose, but it is purely visual. The lack of people recording with their phones is because they were in Japan, and most venues there ban phone recording during shows. That's why nearly all of the fan cams you'll find of LOVEEBITES shows are from their European tours.

[@DavidMISAMISAMISACook]

Miho Miho Miho! not minimal NO phones they are banned in Japanese concerts and can only be used when given permission.

[@johnmagill7714]

This is the first time I have seen you guys. So, I don't know if you have seen Burdon Of Time yet. If you haven't you need to. Miyako plays Guitar and the keyboard at the same time.

[@baumarkttourist8539]

just wait for the song where she plays 2 instruments at the same time lol

[@rodhamm8484]

Nice reaction! Keep going with LOVEBITES, they will continue to impress you. The heart shades will be worn out, might need another pair.🤘 🐺🤘

[@anthonypowell6234]

Bow down. Multiple times.

[@darkeldardf]

I wouldn't say Miyako is bored so much as it's her just feeling the music and the experience.

Go #&* yourself? Really? Not exactly the way to win viewers. All reactors know not to pause or talk over a guitar solo. That being said, im glad you guys appreciate the talent these lovely ladies bring to the stage. Best on the planet, IMO.
