Asami, the lead vocalist spent time living in the US and can speak fluent English. Your eyes kept lighting up through this video. That was my reaction the first time I hear this song and this was the first song from Lovebites I heard.

[@borisketou3177]

LOVEBITES RULES! Everybody knows Miho and Haruna were in Destrose, but do you know Midori's previous band 激情★めたりっちぇ, kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4LUqIBubryeb7M, it's fun to see her make some Babymetal moves at some point in the video.

[@timgove5337]

Ha I’d forgotten that video. The high pitched parts and to some extent the uniforms seem BabyMetalish, but I’d call Midori’s dance the TomoZo skank (well, a skank dance that I’ve only seen one other Jfemetal artist do). I couldn’t quickly find clear footage of TomoSkank, but you can tell from this that it’s her dancing style (she’s guitarist in whitish shorts) kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJSZi3iqqaZgj7s Here’s Midori giving a demo playthru/lesson of that song “make up” kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWm4goigerp9p5Y

Welcome to Lovebites - they're next level. I really appreciate you mention the positiveness (even if they have darker lyrics too) - it's a state of mind in many japanese bands, a will to go forward no matter what.

[@jessyr.456]

Wow, the beginning shook awake. I like the speed. Actually, I personally don't like female voices in the metal scene (with few exceptions). But this sounds really great. The hard instrumental and the melodic singing harmonize great.

[@Detrucci]

Yeah Jessy I normally am not too keen on power metal vocals in general, they all sound the same to me haha. But this one was good

[@glenkelley6799]

There's not a lot of female fronted metal bands, but you should take a look at "UNLEASH THE ARCHERS" and their song "Awakening ", the singer, Brittney Hayes, is a powerful vocalist and her voice just fits for metal - kzbin.info/www/bejne/naK4gXqXZpqCqtE

It was good you had the lyrics as many first time reactors to Lovebites, don't realise the lyrics can be as good as the music. Lovebites, can play this well live. There are a few full live shows on KZbin of Lovebites.

[@Detrucci]

Yes! Those lyrics really helped me understand the song alot more. Even though they sing in English, it can be hard to listen and understand because the music is so extremely fast.

ah.. Lovebites, Japanese power metal band that has best song writing and music compositions after band X Japan. You must check their songs called "We The United" live in Tokyo(just search on youtube) and you will see a beautiful guitar solo..

[@timgove5337]

Yes, from their dvd a year ago, We the United kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHi9eaOuh7N9oJo Great reaction, glad you liked it, can feel the joy from here! Here’s one of Japan’s leading powermetal guitarists, Syu from Galneryus, from his solo album Volvados, which has guest singers. This singer on two tracks is Fuki is from another powermetal group Unlucky Morpheus (their metal scene, and esp the women’s scene, has been really exceptional the past decade). Fuki is so in demand, she’s been working about 12 years I think, tho first 4? yrs were in one band, but one fan took a pic of the 90+ releases featuring her that he’s obtained! She’s also in Doll$Boxx with my personal favorite musicians, who are undefinable, but too pop n synth to quite be metal, but get props from musicians in the metal scene. Song is “Reason” kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2abq2SmoJ6ShNU

You need to check them out live and really be blown away. Daughters of the Dawn live in Tokyo, it doesn't matter which live performance.

[@hiawatha.g]

You picked up on the key to this song: It's positive and hopeful. It is actually a love song to Heavy Metal, and a pledge to save it from the negativity and obscurity which is devouring it. I happen to agree with them. I'm tired of angry, ugly guys screaming at me about how the world sucks. Metal is in danger of total irrelevance. But to save it you have to have more than the ambition--you have to have the talent, and these girls have talent to spare.

[@npml4ever737]

There are a lot of terrifying good Japanese bands.

[@Detrucci]

Then we are in for a rollercoaster ride :)

[@rodrigoinostroza2359]

Awesome! I knew you'd like this. LOVEBITES is another band to keep in mind, their albums are solid and their live performances are pure fire. I suggest you to dig deeper, they have lot of great tunes. As you have seen, they play Power Metal, but they do approach to Heavy Metal and even Thrash, they're heavily influenced by NWOBHM. And I don't get why in every LOVEBITES video, I read comments comparing them to BAND-MAID and etc...man, both bands are legit in what they do and I think it's better to add bands to the collection than put them in some kind of contest about which one is better. Obviously there're personal preferences (my personal favorite is BAND-MAID), but I think you can like both and appreciate them for what they are.

[@northstar7694]

Great reaction! Hit up Unlucky Morpheus - Black Pentagram, Knight of Sword, Cadaver/Redavac (This is 2 songs with the 2nd being the music from the 1st part played in reverse.). They're Japanese power metal with a great female vocalist (Fuki) and Violinist (Jill).

[@alanscarfe6753]

Mate, if you want Rock you`ve got Band Maid, if you want Metal, you`ve got Lovebites. What more do you need ?

[@Detrucci]

Japan have some really amazing talented bands. I love their style too of no fear, just straight up kick you in the face

[@NewAeonWarlord]

hehe :) Fun reaction! :) If Band Maid and Babymetal are the only other japanese bands you've seen yet you should absolutely also check out: - Ningen Isu, the old guard of metal in Japan who have been active for 30 years already. Try "Heartless Scat" for a first or "Namahage" or "Life for sale". - Maximum the Hormone, also a long time active band (around 15 years I think) with a crazy style and lots of different musical influences, great artfully made videos and a lot of fun. Their (female) drummer Nao is actually one of the big inspirations for Band Maid's drummer Akane. I'd suggest "Maximum the Hormone II", "Yoshu Fukushu" or "Alien"

[@Detrucci]

The Maximum the Horomone drummer will be insanely good then. Akane is a beast

[@NewAeonWarlord]

@@Detrucci Nao is awesome for several reasons! :) And so is her brother Ryu who plays guitar and the other 2 members as well. Also all four of them sing depending on the song and part.

If you enjoyed that you'll be pleased to know there's three albums released in the UK : Awakening from Abyss ; Clockwork Immortality; Electric Pentagram plus a three EPs. All relatively inexpensive (no import charges etc.) Their latest album has 12 tracks plays for 70 minutes. No filler. And when you've had enough of Lovebites, you can check out Mary's Blood, Fate Gear, Aldious, Bridear and a couple of new bands Nemophila and Hagane.

Forget about Band Maid and Babymetal. Lovebites is pure madness. Dual guitar solo is in every song, and guess what, they have not even one bad song. Three albums, two DVDs, everything is top class. Since i discovered them a few months ago, i listen to their songs every day. Its that good man. Best metal band in the world right now, at least for me. Fact that they are cute girls is just a nice bonus to the whole story. You should react to some song/any song from Daughters of the Dawn LIVE or Battle in the East LIVE to see that power because seeing how they shred live is THE REAL DEAL. Welcome to Lovebites fanbase dude. Spread the love. Cheers

One of your best reactions, I got the sense you liked this blend of 80's power metal (Iron Maiden, Judas Priest) with Dragon Force and then the bluesy vocalist that can belt it out over that insane music explosion.

@@Detrucci Dragonforce and Lovebites are good friends, they did a UK tour together, Lovebites are very independent in their music, influences from other bands "yes", but their solid interpretation of different styles. So there are no better or worse bands like that, either man likes them or not, most of them who don't like lovebites have problems with the vocals, in my view one cannot praise "Asami" enough, a voice can do better don't fit at all. Lovebites is a really perfect band: Haruna on the drums 4.9 "precise steam engine - Miyako and Midori two top guitarists at eye level who complement each other at any time (without who is better or worse) - Miho the boss on bass, sometimes a bit inconspicuous, but the The linchpin of the band, they are all very pretty self-confident women, properly dressed, which I find rather unusual but very pleasant, they are just great in all respects (everyone should do what they want) blah blah blah ....... ...... 😌😁

I see you've got some good recommendations below, which I agree with, but I'll also add this one.

[@kent-oveprestberg3578]

"vanilla Japanese idol group trying to play metal" If you don't mind...I'll guess that you're not older than 30 yrs. These ladies push Metallica off the cliff(burton) 😉. They're up there with Iron Maiden, Helloween, Gammaray. Idol group?! Jeee...🤣

[@Glynthepin]

As much as i like The Wagakki Band the Lovebites ladies can match them musically. Maybe if you had bothered to see one of their live performances, you would of known that.

[@timgove5337]

Once again: Can’t deny, they explicitly state they formed to write in homage to classic, thrash, power & symphonic metal from England and Europe. But they are not part of the Japanese idol industry, that is a unique thing. Yes it results in Spice Girls, but it is a blend of Menudo and Disney. This is a supergroup, Mature successful signed musicians quit other gigs to follow this bass player’s stated intent, cut a demo, then got signed and got good corporate support. BabyMetal is the Vegas show I would go see, which stars girls who are literally idols, who “graduated” into the song & dance business, spectacular once they got the money to support their huge production vision. Wagakki band is awesome, by including the traditional instruments etc. But they’re hired by the singer & flute guy, and their biggest hit is a cover of a virtual artist, a cartoon singer. It’s Japanese! It’s awesome. But it doesn’t discount these ladies, in business to get English pounds. Hell, lovebites first full gig was in London. I wish the songs I’m writing with my neighbor could debut at Sydney Opera House, or even just the pub next to it! 😉 And, try playing any of... they Goooood musicians, and their producer has an American sounding name and their post-engineering is done in Finland. Doesn’t matter much, the label is in Japan, and everybody records at home these days anyway, but the mega Corp thing is not a negative, and sounding the same is partly a style, and part homing in on their idea of the perfect song. Maybe I’m feeling a lil defensive, and not everybody likes opera, prog, classical, whatever. So I don’t expect everyone would listen to this long deep-cut and notice references to Rachmaninov’s 2nd piano concerto, as well as self referencing their own song Hammer of Wrath (which in turn references a classic Arabic theme) Or enjoy the heavy lyrics about hope in the face of the Hiroshima bomb, or the chorale ending. Not everyone I spose, all good... but it just doesn’t qualify as disposable art to me. I reiterate, imagine trying to write or play it... “Under the Red Sky” live (audio only, from DVD Daughters of the Dawn, recorded Jan2019 Tokyo) kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqTEZZmZo7d9b6c

[@patriksjoholm7102]

This has got to be one of the most pathetic attempts of trolling i have ever seen. An idol goup? You obviously don't have a clue what an idol group actually is. And what exactly is lacking? Technical skill? Songwriting ability? Vocal talent? What is vanilla about them? Some of their songs are pure Thrash Metal. Or are you one of those people who think that everything that doesnt sound like Napalm Death's first album is too soft (not that there is anything wrong with Napalm Death, i love me some Grindcore once in a while)? Fine, you don't like their music but I have no clue why you are even mentioning Wagakki band (that's how it's spelled, by the way), they don't even play the same sort of music as Lovebites. Lovebites aren't trying to make folk-metal. You might as well be comparing Eluveitie with DragonForce. Seriously, your comment make "Trve Kvlt" black metal fans seem like pefectly sane and reasonable people in comparison.

[@Detrucci]

I have no idea what japanese idol is so I cant compare :) But the lyrics here are good. Nice and positive, Maybe motivational for people who need it.
