I’m convinced the drummer is a robot!! Literal machine behind that drum kit!!

[@1970Phoenix]

A brilliant thrash song.

[@JFrancoDrums]

Funny that you mention Slayer because this song was actually inspired by them, Miho the bassist is big Slayer fan. Try next Swan Song, Scream For Me, Edge of the World, Epilogue, all LIVE. Thank you and stay safe.

[@Beatz-he5xe]

Nice reaction guys...the girls have listened to the classical metal we all know and love....and one thing. ...what a beast of a drummer...

[@pheonix089]

And the drummer is under 5'0 if I am not mistaken. She is a tiny monster on the drums

[@marting.h.9417]

Yes, these girls really shine live. I discovered this band a few months ago and I’m still in owe. Some commenters say that rock is not dead, it just moved to Japan.

[@progandmetalfan711]

Great reaction. Yes, they have skill and power. Next, please react to "we the united" "edge of the world" "swan song" You can enjoy Asami's vocal. 👍

[@paul_laws]

The Raining Blood thunder/drum intro was kind of a big Slayer giveaway 😁 Thanks for reacting to Lovebites again.

[@bach-kw8vx]

ARIGATO for the nice reaction!! LOVEBITES has many powerful songs. And many beautiful songs. Please react "EDGE OF THE WORLD"(LIVE) and "SWAN SONG"(LIVE). ASAMI(vocal) and MIYAKO(guitar, piano) are so talented!!

[@ricdale7813]

These girls Kll both studio and Live. Each is a Master Musician in their own but combine them and Wham. As impressive and Refreshing as anything the last 10-15 years.

[@gitterich]

At their fantastic live concerts in Tokyo (DAUGHTERS OF THE DAWN 2019 + FIVE OF A KIND 2020), these women go this tempo for almost 2 hours. They play with a lot of joy and pride. So Rock concerts have to be. This was the 80s.

[@ISpeakAstronomy]

Wow, that was one intense performance! Had to pause it several times to let the girls rest a bit.

[@user-jt4nn7fl7h]

I'm trying to get their concert next January with social distanced audiences! It will be awesome concert❣️

[@kirilkirilov7185]

did you guys know that all of these girls are classically trained, none of them is a musician by sheer happenstance, so much talent in one place. Try "Empty Daydream" from the same gig. Miyako is playing piano and never had a string instrument in her hands before she was 18, and she slays it on the guitar as if she was playing all her life)) bless your hearts, your reactions are awesome)))

[@tone5037]

When i first heard this I immediately noticed the similarity witj Slayer, my favorite band of all time. Elements of the guitar work from Hell Awaits, I fuckin love Lovebites, phenomenal band

[@hiufernando7340]

We want more Lovebites again on this chanel. Great reaction! Lovebites is always amazing. Many song of them is insane! They playing heavy metal, thrash metal, progressive metal, power metal, even power ballads too. Hope you guys, want reaction again to Lovebites. Next song, try "Scream for me" or any song have been requesting with all fans Lovebites. Big thanks dude!

[@DavidMISAMISAMISACook]

Miho Miho Miho!

[@DianaRussia531]

Love this group.

[@Glynthepin]

You can't really go wrong with Lovebites. Ever since I first heard them I have always thought that they are the result of every classic male metal bands DNA mixed up and sent to Japan to laboratory produce five talented female musicians. :-)

[@thesouthpawoutlaw1073]

Hoping they'll come back to the UK. They were incredible last year.

[@taknothing4896]

Best freakin' metal band on the planet, hands down. They totally smoke everybody else.

[@zillatattoo]

lmfao, really? sure sure

[@nikostheater]

The talent on display on that stage is just.. overwhelming. By far the most talented heavy metal band around today and one of a handful of bands that live are much better than the studio. The only bands I can think of that are performing at that level live are Dream Theater, Symphony X, And very few others. Japan is the land of Uber-talented musicians and Lovebites are at the very top.

[@siscob]

That is how you properly open a concert. Watched their live stream recently, they are really amazing, the best band out there. You should check their epic ballad Epilogue or their ballad/melodic Edge of Tomorrow, or Signs of Deliverance where they do dual guitar w/ overhand tapping; Swan Song is also epic, Break the Wall, Dust in the Wind, actually, all of their songs are "recommended", can't go wrong with any of them. They do power, trash, prog, melodic metal, hard rock, ballads, rock and classical music since Miyako is a classical pianist.

[@michaelfarmer6877]

Every tune from this show is really good....🤘🏼 Best sound (mix) you can hear everything as you should. Great band great show!

[@alekhidell]

Anything live from the two Zepp City gigs, a lot of which are on KZbin are automatic choices for you to react to. If you’re Gary Moore fans (can’t imagine you couldn’t be tbh) try “Epilogue” live, and see a totally different side of the band, as well as Asami the vocalist. They’re called Lovebites for a reason. Once bitten, you’re hooked.

[@thedocofrock1890]

good morning blokes - when you watch these ladies perform you have to realize that you are seeing something VERY special . i have all of the cd's and can't find one song i would consider mediocre. i've asked this before in previous comments but would you like to be the band next on stage after LOVEBITES ? just give it up and go home. you still have many more mind melting songs to react to . the well is deep. if you really want to see them burn up the stage this is the song for you. 'scream for me'.consider yourselves bludgeoned with this song. power metal at it's finest:kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4DKZZqsiLqgedE

[@dougporteous2474]

This is how u start a concert off, all u new bands learn from this video, this song

[@dragonvert3633]

I'm a Japanese and had known as knowledge but the first time have heard Manchester-rain joke in the actual conversation. Rain would be also greater now.

[@jody024]

Literally can't go wrong with LOVEBITES live. Same applies to Band-Maid,Unlucky Morpheus Babymetal and many others too.

[@diegocosta1607]

Try Break the wall,is kind of thrash too.

[@Alex1969able]

Indeed

[@garylahti2687]

Great reaction video.

[@michaelraum3116]

Y’all need to check out Larkin Poe, Trouble In Mind. Fantastic band with incredibly amazing rock/blues music

[@skoob64]

And they all play (excert Haruna the drummer) a full 90 minutes plus in four inch hgh heels and by the end of the gig they have not even broken sweat.

[@dougporteous2474]

Hey fellas you also need to check out Nemophila, Aldious, Bridear all these female bands are gonna conquer the world look out

Piease react lovebites / the hammer of wrath 2020 Zepp Diver City Tokyo

[@tak-g9524]

Thank you for focusing on JPS bands. I enjoyed you guys reacting. I’d like to recommend another JPS band named Unlucky Morpheus. They are speed metal band and their skill is also very talented. Especially the violin sound makes their music very unique. So please try the their musics.

[@mikenekozukin1405]

Nice reaction. Next react "SWAN SONG" "HOLY WAR" (Tokyo Live) please.

[@funnyrailroadcrossing2767]

they are already done with Holy war,...

[@mikenekozukin1405]

@@funnyrailroadcrossing2767 sorry. that's right.

[@bohoghjensen3168]

Great! Now you have reacted to Band maid and Lovebites, so next must be: Fate Gear - Headless goddess! They are just as great!

[@morganolsson1993]

I have plenty of Slayer, but I rather play Lovebites. Its a fresh thrash/powermetal band, that makes the genres sounding better than ever. Watch this or any of their live-discs and see that you never get a boring moment

[@eatsmylifeYT]

Slayer are rock gods, but I'd rather watch five hot young women play metal.

[@obaidullahkhan3335]

Mix of power and death metal legends.😎😎

[@Darth.Fluffy]

Hey, guys, you seem to like Love Bites, but have you ever heard the song they named themselves after? React to Love Bites (and so do I) by Halestorm. It's hard rock, not metal, but it did win the Grammy for best hard rock/metal song.

[@hiawatha.g]

If you guys are serious about J-metal week, here's a list to work with: The first three are for historical reasons because they blew open the scene for girl rockers--the rest followed. All but two of these bands are all-female. Show-Ya (the original female J-metal band, founded in 1981, before Metallica-this is from their 30th (!) anniversary concert-and they are still touring): kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXvCZnqsaNt5oLM&pbjreload=10 Shonen Knife (The world’s first bubblegum punk band, founded in 1981. They have done several world tours. They also perform as a Ramones tribute band called Osaka Ramones): kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWqvhp-Pr7ScjdU Destrose (This band was never stable, but has become almost mythic in Japanese metal history, because so many great bands spun out of Destrose, including Lovebites--you will recognize the drummer and bassist): kzbin.info/www/bejne/baCal56qqKeqh8k Aldious (Glamorous and kick-ass rockers-one of the first generation all-girl metal bands, along with Destrose) kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZfOe4dmp9eUY5o Asterism (not all female, but will melt your face off- the guitarist Haruka Noma is off the charts talented and still a teen-ager) kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5fbfpxmd91nrpI Band-Maid (OK, there are 100+ great songs by them. Here is a live clip): kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHnTpningqaWesk Bridear (Heavy, technical-and the tiny bassist also growls): kzbin.info/www/bejne/goKsdaSrmaySerM Disqualia (Destrose spin-out, featuring Narumi, one of the best guitarists of this generation) kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y36Yq3WBp7l9iMk Doll$Boxx (insane mix of metal, electropop, and god-knows what else; a collaboration between Fuki and Gacharic Spin ) kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6aVq2eLm56HncU existTtrace (one of the earliest, progressive, technical, some death-metal and goth touches) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hauUfalujax1fJI Fate Gear (super-group, one of the Destrose spinouts-this single video is one of the best in this list): kzbin.info/www/bejne/qn20k6algLaBY5I Gacharic Spin (founded in 2009 by a group of high-school friends; very technical, cover a range from punk-pop to heavy metal and progressive) Here is their first video, with original singer Armmy (d. 2015): kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJfdeqdoZcSrjsk Gallhammer (Death punk; this is from their 2007 UK/Europe tour): kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJe3mqyFhJahkKc Galmet (straight-up death metal, but in prom dresses) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hp_Zo4KCmrenY6s Ganglion (Metal with a hint of electronica) kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2rNZadpgthgick Lovebites - you just did Destinies, so here is a live clip that will blow your minds: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJikqaN7paqWpNE Mary's Blood (The first major Destrose Spin-out: Saki murders her guitar without breaking any nails): kzbin.info/www/bejne/g32wY6iki5Werbc Mutant Monster (Punk-pop): kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJWZqqCDh5ljhLc Narumi (solo prog-rock composition-change of pace) kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYPcdJR-n9x8nc0 54 Nude Honeys (early Japanese punk, from around 1990-they toured the UK and Europe): kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHnRe4alfLNog80 Otoboke Beaver (thrash punk): kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJy6l3mOo7Gjj8k Rie aka Suzaku (instrumental guitar) kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2e9Y3p6arikhNU Tricot (Post-progressive math-rock, very technical, crazy time signatures and polyrhythms) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpClkHqXodh9qKc Sonic Lover Reckless (Special project of Miyako Watanabe, one of the two insane Lovebites guitarists): kzbin.info/www/bejne/eom9XqSerclkjKs

I am glad that a ladies band with a solid technique has finally come out from Japan. I hope it will be loved by heavy metal fans all over the world.

[@cepho8349]

Finally? There have been many great all-female Japanese bands.

[@dougporteous2474]

Looks like all three of ur faces just melted off, enjoy

[@rudolfmouthaan7892]

The Blokes response is the same as the audience in the concert. After listening a minute or two they warm up to the band and start nodding their heads to the rythm.

[@user-fq3me9ur7c]

Hello Office Dudes; Porhaps by now you know, Miyaka composed this tune after playing with Slayer at a festival r in Britain. It's a quasi tribute to Slayer. There is so much going on - where do you start? Absolutely world-class musicians. Well played and definitely has the energy the the Nu Metal from America generally lacks. This tune is about 300 beats per minute and the 4'9" drummer kicks double bass as well as any drummer I've heard. I am awe - struck! 20 years ago I would have never dreamt that angelic female Japanese bands would just slap like this. Rob Halford said that J Metal bands are keeping Metal alive. I agree Lately the live Nemophila video: Life" has gone viral. It's more power pop. The ladies wrote the tune to celebrate the return of their drummer who took maternity leave. The girls are performing facing the drummer - and are a bit emotional - they break down and weep. BTW - her baby is already queuing up mom's ipad to a Nemophila song and he's keeping a Rock steady 4 on the floor beat on mom's electronic drum pads; he can't even walk. Wonders never ceases.

[@terrynoonan8817]

If you liked Lovebites thunder vengeance, you wil love Scream for Me. Guitar solos to melt your collective brains.

[@Maxhp4200]

Adam Calhoun "That white boy"

[@chrisscott820]

You NEED to check out Orbit Culture. I suggest Open Eye or Nensha. Nensha is trilogy of songs, all three have videos and tell a story. Nensha, Rebirth, and The Shadowing. The band is so talented, and have inspirations of some of the greatest bands out there.

[@julianhernandez5234]

If you planning a Jmetal week you need to include the biggest Japanese metal band Babymetal a good place to start is Road of Resistance live in Japan.

[@funnyrailroadcrossing2767]

More Lovebites please.. LOVEBITES - Break The Wall or The Hammer Of Wrath are another thrash style (same concert)

[@tashcont9886]

I've been watching you cuz your voices are so pleasant. It looks like you able to like some of the Japanese women's bands. So I write it down in order of recommendation for each band. Rinne, Choose Me,　Puzzle, 　Dice, 　from BAND-MAID Crusade.　Swan Song , Thunder vengeance, Empty Daydreams　 from Love bites Continue. next stage. from Trident (or G,B,R,K).

[@AngelLWJ]

Pls react to Latinoamerica by Calle 13. They're an extremely talented Puerto Rican group that are recognized throughout South America as legends. Lyricism is very important in the song so y'all should look for the vid with English subs

[@hersadrieel1359]

Next..burden of time 🤘🤘

[@jmetallover]

Now you guys are ready for Scream for Me (kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4DKZZqsiLqgedE), Raise Some Hell (kzbin.info/www/bejne/h56QZK2eeKuansk) and then watch as Miyako plays piano before shredding it up with Midori and Asami gets to show off that bluesy vocals of hers in Empty Daydream (kzbin.info/www/bejne/oonLkKiDgp5noLc). This band is the high end Lamborghini that is purring at top speed from start to finish and these women are so insanely talented you can't believe that their LIVE performances are this good!!!

[@salsaucedo]

Well, I am a bit surprised you guys are doing another lovebites song. I can still see one of you still has a problem with Asami's voice but that's ok some if not many are still haters and us lovers take control and defend our beautiful Fairy Asami. It really an ultimate fan to know every detail there is to know about a particular band, names of the members, the likes of each member, the inspirations of each member, so on and so forth. These beautiful babes have been inspired by many of the greats of yesteryear and it reflects in their songs and writing skills. With so much and so many ways to blow our brains up in the ways of styles of rock and metal they will rock your heart away. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHi1qYt5edmFfKM

[@michaelmusson3593]

I have to admit upon first hearing Lovebites that I was not crazy about Asami vocal either but after having all their CD and DVDs I have come to realize that this band needs her epic bigger than life sound it's Metal not Pop and when I heard Epilogue I have to admit my eyes fogged over. Asami deserves our admiration

[@andriadi80]

[@susanfitzsimons2384]

Now you are ready for Empty Daydream (kzbin.info/www/bejne/oonLkKiDgp5noLc) and get to see the other skills these women have especially Miyako on the piano, but they all play multiple instruments. This song is good but Scream for Me (kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4DKZZqsiLqgedE) or Raise Some Hell ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/h56QZK2eeKuansk) are even better IMHO.

[@alfredtorres2188]

Hello Office Blokes. If you like to hear another song in the same familiar thrash element, check out this video. It has 2 songs and a piano solo. The first song "Break The Wall" is a great aggressive thrash song. The second song is "Shadowmaker", a great power metal song with great dueling solos. And the third is a short piano solo. You can even do 2 reactions to this one video. It comes from the same show you've just seen. And you might want to hurry, many videos are being blocked.
