I am 75 year old rocker and seen and done it all but I always cry when I listen to/watch the videos of Lovebites 'Epilogue', 'Empty Daydream' and 'Edge of the World'. I really appreciate the fact that you read and think about Lovebites' lyrics - they are so positive, uplifting and life-affirming.

[@TheCyberMantis]

Same here. Lovebites has that effect on us. They are on another level. We see it. Wolfpack united. \m/

[@erikjohnson1960]

You are not the only one, and I am only 61......

[@alekhidell]

If one performance sums up why this band is so beloved of so many dedicated fans, this is it. A positive message, delivered with passion. This is Lovebites... and they play Heavy Metal ... with the biggest of smiles. It makes me well up every time too..

[@realdocloco]

They makes us cry because they're sincere. It's so rare nowadays.

[@TheCyberMantis]

That is a huge part of it. Absolutely. Sincere, and genuine. As is the love from their fans.

[@daniel1138]

Sincerety is a great description. I like, how they bring a whole new kind of attitude into the still very macho world of metal.

[@TheYeahzus]

I think that the metal scene is dominated by males isn't a problem in itself, but that everyone just wants to be dark and edgy. Not gona lie, I was the same a long time ago, but as I get older I prefer more positive and uplifting messages or just same nice fantasy or fairy tale poetry in my metal music. There is enough negativity in the world.

Maybe time to learn the names of these women who change lives for the better in a dark time. For me, the last line of Glory to the World comes as close as word-language can say it, "Nothing more precious!" Miho, bass/leader/co-founder/backing voice/lyrics & music; Haruna, drums/co-founder/lyrics & music; Midori, guitar/backing voice/lyrics/music & confidence; Miyako, guitar/backing voice/piano/music & seriousness; Asami, vocals/piano/lyrics & music. "Amazing people" Yes! Another name that must be mentioned is Mao Yamamoto, friend-of-LOVEBITES who contributes significant music, including 'Edge of the World' and 'We The United'. That audience just had an hour & 45 minutes with those five women pouring their hearts & talent out for them, and US. Now you may understand better the 'allegiance' of those of us who have "an ongoing experience" through LOVEBITES presence in our lives. May LOVEBITES be as uplifting and encouraging in your 'circle' as they are in mine.

Yes thank you my friend and they are amazing. Those lyrics, their smiles, their love at the end for the fans and them walking off stage and they kept turning around to say good bye. This song touched me so much.

[@Jmaveryk]

You really will cry if you see a video of the song Journey to the otherside, is a song tribute for Miho's father that passed away a few days before the show on the place that he used to take her when she was young, and the place that she promised for him that someday she will play in there. I only find the video on facebook: web.facebook.com/100001531083614/videos/3795365253857807/

[@markmathewssgbcpenaltyboxs6389]

LOVEBITES - We The United lyrics: The silent dawn has been broken Our fate has now been decided for good Innocence can never be regained Blissful ignorance turns into guilt and shame We must first learn to give and understand That no one is able to live alone There is no need to be perfect Everyone has their own problems and faults Everything is indispensable, Every person is worthy and valuable Don’t give up on your life, fight for what’s right Live on and keep searching for answers We shall go forth Prideful, we stand united We can create miracles Always, there is a way Humans are greedy and selfish Wanting attention more than the respect Recognize the pain that others hide Have the strength to fight even for someone else People who’ve never made real enemies Have never stood up for what they believe We shall go forth Prideful, we stand united We can create miracles Always, there is a way Always, I will be here Always, we will be there ----- lyrics: asami music: Mao arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami)

The Happiest Heavy Metal Band on Earth!!!! What a finale. Never thought I would see you so emotional after that first reaction. But its all fine. You just took about 3-4 songs longer than me to get hooked. Now spread the word to everyone who you think will like this music.

[@JTMMTV]

Deal

[@marcinpopawski8199]

This song for me is the anthem of Lovebites and whole WolfPack. It is uplifting, moves listeners, unites Ladies, unites with audiences and fans. It gives joy and fun. For me should be put on the main Lovebites side on YT. Great and curious like always.

TRUTH!

[@johndreessen7335]

Good reaction. Always get tears looking at this performance. So much interaction between them and with the audience. Love Asami’s voice. She writes great lyrics. Haruna, the drummer is so cute but a beast on the drums. Miyako, the black haired guitarist is a cool metal godess. Midori and Miho are great guitarists. One of my favorite performances. The end of the concert “five of a kind” . Thank you for this reaction.

[@fastskipper777]

Regarding no emotion from Miyako (lead g on right), actually she is a very nice and lively person and smiles easily -> go see her on her official channel. She is a classically trained pianist since age 3. In fact, she was trained as a concert pianist although she didn't go that route (her parents bought her a grand piano at around age 9 IIRC - she still uses it). If you know anything about piano, the difference between an upright vs grand is huge. When you go grand, you are really serious or have money. I know, because I dated such a person in the past. Miyako only started on guitar at age 18 (yeah guitar is her 2nd inst., and she can also play bass and drums). And she majored in music education in the Univ. and actually has a BA in Music Education (she can be a teacher). If fact, she thought she was going to be a music teacher. So, she is a serious classical musician. Why I am saying this? Because, classically trained musicians don't show emotions on stage. Go watch any of the millions of videos on youtube on classical performances and see if anyone shows emotion. (Yes, Midori - lead g on left - also learned piano since age 2 but she did not major in music like Miyako). So, knowing some background is useful in understanding. In an interview, Miyako said that she was overwhelmed and felt emotional several times during this concert and almost felt crying, because she was so happy. (Watch her eyes again during her solo on "Edge of the World"). At foremost, Miyako is a serious musician and does not really show emotion and is usually hyper concentrating during their performances. But, I would not dare say she is emotionless, just listen to her guitar.

[@TheCyberMantis]

Miyako is literally a musical jedi. She has laser-focused concentration. Her talent, is the result of a well-disciplined mind. She is gifted on so many levels. And she is gorgeous. Princess Miyako. A gift to the world.

[@JTMMTV]

Let me explain my comment more. I have read before that she was classically trained from early childhood and the discipline that was most likely instilled when playing. I wasn't saying that she was as a person emotionless, just in most of the songs I have seen she is so focused which is great. It was just awesome to see her beautiful smile. It was not an insult towards her.

[@TheCyberMantis]

@@JTMMTV Oh, we know you are not insulting anyone. And yes, we like to see Miyako smile too!

[@Bannysadkosays2u]

@@JTMMTV you also said that she knows she's a badass musician, and those few words make your entire statement positive and respectful. Thank you for your sincerity brother. You're definitely a true music lover. Keep rolling forward with these amazing ladies, and enjoy the journey.

[@dragulia_venaro]

Sometimes, their song are so heartwarming in some situation for me. The last time I shed tears was when I listened to a solo melody in “Epilogue”. Anyway, thank you for always do so much reaction in only one week! Have a great day!

[@JFrancoDrums]

Beautiful song, beautiful lyrics, beautiful ending to the show! This is the power of music, touching our soul. And these ladies do it like no other. If you want the link for the live video of "Journey To the Other Side" just let me know! There are comments here explaining the story behind the song, a very special song for Miho, the bassist and founder of Lovebites! Lovebites music is powerful, beautiful and inspiring for many people, truly one of the best metal band in the world today! Thank you for great reaction and commentary, you have come a long way from the first video! 😁 Now you understand why the Wolfpack is so loyal to the band!

[@JTMMTV]

Oh I get it completely. I will 100% admit I am glad it happened the way it did. It allows me as a reactor to still be honest but approach a song differently. It also reminded me of a principal I learned early in life that I didn't apply here and should have. 7 habits of highly successful people. Habit 5: Seek to understand before being understood.

[@anderslofgren8235]

One of my favorite parts of this song is Miyako's smile after the hi-five. She isn't emotionless as some people seem to think. I think her training in classical music affects how she shows emotion on stage. Just listening to her guitar, you know she feels deeply :-) But that smile, oh my god! And the energy! I watched this concert DVD in full just yesterday and was struck by the amount of energy they retain for this final song after 1 hour and 40 minutes of playing full on already. It's amazing, a must see if ever given a chance.

[@nikostheater]

In this video you can see how loving, how strong, how respectful is the connection between the fans and the band. The sheer joy. The fun. These girls are indeed Five Of A Kind.

[@debrakurenai588]

Love these goddesses so much. Their music has impacted my life. They fill me with so many positive emotions. They make me smile and cry at the same time. They give me energy to go on with my day. I feel like their music definitely heals my soul. That’s why I listen to them almost everyday. I need my daily dose of LOVEBITES.

[@salsaucedo]

The five-of-a-kind concert was phenomenal, this was the last encore song right after Edge of the World, one hour and fifty minutes of pure awesomeness with a total of 19 songs. The tightness and sync harmonies they showed even, in the end, are impeccable. Yes many of us have told you from the very beginning about the lyrics to their songs, they carry strong moral concepts, true life-giving encouraging messages. This lies with 90% of their songs and it is all beautiful and inspiring. there is no darkness in these amazingly beautiful ladies, and yes in my book they are far more superior than all the rest in so many ways and formats. It does takes some several songs to realize the integrity and power they have over their fans, not only with their outward beauty but most importantly inward beauty and their amazing talent.

[@reddnizz2231]

Love to see Haruna's big grin.. 😁😁 But the most precious moment for me is when Midori and Miyako thumb fist each other after harmonizing the solo... it shows that they are respect and support each other... it's beautiful...

I have loved this band for years , and never thought of them as a profound lyric band ...but they are are. Thanks for your take on this. Other reviewers do reaction tests , like Try Not To Headbang.......Lovebites needs a Try Not To Cry . There is a clip by Lovebites from this concert perhaps where the bassist is overcome with emtion and breaks into tears as she playing full tilt, and Asami comes over, and puts her arm around Miho while she sings to support and comfort her....Sheeeesh! Try and not tear up there. I fail everytime i see it / Whats the song ????

Journey to the Other Side, relating to the passing of Miho's father and LOVEBITES performing at a venue she had promised him she would perform in one day. See Jean Ribeiro Belesk's comment on this video.

Journey to the Other Side. Miho wrote it about the death of her father.

It is on the Daughters of the Dawn Live DVD from 2019. They didn‘t perform it at the Five of a Kind concert, maybe because of the very personal connection.

[@melocitysolo9574]

To be honest, I still don't know why the four instrument members chose Asami as the vocalist. She had no knowledge of metal and had never listened to any metal songs. From a common sense point of view, you should choose a vocalist of hard rock or metal band. They must have felt something about Asami. As you might expect, there have been criticisms of Asami's non-metal vocals from the beginning. Asami also consulted with the band members about whether he should change his singing style from a metal point of view. However, members have protected her from such criticism, supported her and encouraged her to stay as she is. After a few years, Asami gradually became recognized as LOVEBITES's vocalist. The lyrics of this song were written by Asami herself, and it sounds like a call for solidarity among the people of the world, but I think it also expresses her feelings towards her band and fans.

[@JTMMTV]

Even just being new and several videos in I wouldn't want anyone else.

[@hiawatha.g]

It is also interesting to watch her confidence and power grow with every album and every concert.

[@hiufernando7340]

Lovebites is not can be Lovebites like right now, if they not have Asami!! Asami is perfect part too for Lovebites. If some people don't like her, that's not problem! Many singer have haters. Like me, I don't like the singer of band maid or unlucky Morpheus. Should I request they change the singer?

[@skoob64]

In a recent interview on Japanese TV MIyako said that if Asami had not been chosen as the vocalist she wuld not have joined Lovebites.

[@hiawatha.g]

@@skoob64 A lot of metalheads hear Asami as somehow "operatic" or "classical", and of course, that is also Miyako's background. She wanted to go for something beyond standard metal, and they have got it in spades.

[@user-pk1eo2ms9h]

Thank you for listening to Lovebites! Miyako is believed to be emotionless, but it isn't. She cherishes all the sounds and puts her soul into "to play the best". "Passionate about work" is typical of many Japanese people. And one ... I have to give you sad news. Miho, the most important member and leader of Lovebites, left Lovebites after this live. This moving moment can never be seen again.

Not sure what to recommend next after this one. You're not going to find better lyrics than in this song. Maybe "Winds of Transylvania" since it is one of their newest songs. Lovebites was chosen by the Vladlove anime developers to create the theme song for their show. WoT is the shows opening theme song and has some of the best shred and squeal sounds I have ever heard. The lyrics were written for the anime show, which is about vampires and blood, so don't expect the typical positive message in them. The entire music video is like riding in a roller coaster without any brakes. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqSoZYiYlLWdnpo
