ASAMI 🤘🐺🤘

[@CaffeineNightOwl]

this song is like an avalanche.

[@fatboynick4104]

They are absolutely flawless

[@osarunooshiri]

That cymbal is Zildjian FX Zil-Bell 9.5", Actually She sets up that up side down.

[@enmigo1496]

attention! lovebites can be addictive! I have listened to them too much and now I am a slave to these ladies my heart is theirs (and a lot of my money too 😁) Greetings from Italy 🤘

[@TheCyberMantis]

Haruna's cymbal is an ICE BELL. But I call it: Wampa's food dish!

[@CaffeineNightOwl]

sweet wampa

[@alekhidell]

For a band that has 46 tracks, none of which are even “average”, this is one of their masterpieces.

[@CDMS_pt]

Another Masterpiece.

[@brandydynamite5877]

Another home run ! Perfetto 🤘🐺🤘

[@evilvolts]

The song that sounds most like a James Bond theme song would be A Frozen Serenade

[@Patrick_H.]

🐺It's called an Ice Bell. That 5/4 beat she does during the leadup to the climax is SO freaking cool and interesting. Thanks for the continuing reactions. I hope the KZbin Algorithm rewards both your channel and Lovebites with more recommendations. :o) 🐺

[@evilvolts]

Epilogue is the only true slow song from Lovebites this song picks up as it goes

[@Hegasich]

ASAMI ! ASAMI ! ASAMI !!!❤👸🤘🐺🤘

[@kellerfrederic1]

musically it's top level every time. Then there are titles that we prefer compared to others. On a discography of about 50 titles there is nothing bad.

[@markmathewssgbcpenaltyboxs6389]

Love this song. The beginning is so beautiful and Miyako's showing where she shines in making that guitar sing with such emotion. THen they kick into high gear for the end. Thank you for reacting to this video.

LOVEBITES - Edge Of The World lyrics: Why do we learn to hate, deceive and lie, hurt each other？ Why does it never end？ The sorrow keeps on repeating Wailing, come downpours of the rain Will it end？ No one ever knows Wondering, what only time can tell What is at the end of life？ Why do we only see our own desires？ Greed is endless Why is there authority when there is no justice in their rulings Struggling like feeble, helpless fools Will it end？ No one ever knows Wandering, not knowing where to go Carrying the breath of life Standing at… The Edge of the World As long as you're still alive, remember - don't fear standing up, don't ever give it up Until the day you meet your end, it's not over - let your soul shine inside of your heart As long as you're still alive, remember - keep your dignity, stay true to who you are Until the day you meet your end, it's not over - let your heart love and always be loved How you live will always live on As your way of life, forever How you live will always live on As your way of life, forever How you live will always live on As your way of life, forever ----- lyrics: asami music: Mao arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami)

[@marks5451]

Ok, so maybe you should check out Epilogue and Frozen Serenade as your next Lovebites reactions. Happy Xmas 🐺🤘🤘

[@marks5451]

I've heard it referred to as an Ice Bell.

[@LovebitesFanForLife]

I pretty much agree with what you said. This band is awesome and they do excel at the heavy riffs and fast tempo. I love this one alot for Asami's vocals, and for the message in the lyrics, as well as the progressive changes in mood and tempo.

[@paulread4886]

Yeah Swan Song is hard to top alright. Try "Raise Some Hell , for a fun rocker."

[@dregeye]

This is the second-to-last song of the encore which near-segues into "We The United" ( with [cc] ) kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6PEfqmJlpuEipY This playlist adds the end-of-show final bow with all band members. "Five of a Kind"

[@gatograto]

That mini cymbal is an Ice Bell. Haruna is a rare drummer who uses an ice bell regularly. That ice bell ringing with 16 beat bass drum is just insane. It's so brutal yet elegant. She is a powerful drummer yet insists on details as well. She really is a great drummer. If you like power/thrashy sound, try Set the World on Fire. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2rdpHtsnqySbMU, or Hammer of Wrath kzbin.info/www/bejne/paWti4OLeNysha8, or Break the Wall kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4HGYYuBZdGBo7ecttps://kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4HGYYuBZdGBo7c, or Raise Some Hell kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJLQhIR6Za-IfM0

[@ahodori2233]

Roland is not a piano, but an electronic piano. Miyako, who first touched the electronic piano on the day of the concert, could not get used to the unique feel and was nervous until the concert was over.

[@marcinpopawski8199]

Progressive masterpiece. Stay safe. Stay Lovebites.

[@ChuckJansenII]

I had the same thought about this being a them song for a James Bond theme. We think alike. The long high nots Asami sings, "What is at the end of life . . . ," is so powerful. She really holds that note and then when it should tail off she gives us a power up. That is breath control. And amazing. The Amazing Asami. Miyako's first solo reminds me so much of Gary Moore. I could just imagine his ghost standing looking over her shoulder and just smiling. This song is prog metal in the vein of Iron Maiden's Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. Not afraid to say it, but their music brings great emotion and occasional tears to my eyes. Edge of the World starts by painting the picture of a defeated person down on their luck. In the middle the person gathers strength to regroup and move on. The end is upbeat demonstrating hope of better days. Finally it is about legacy. "How you live will always live on as your way of life forever." Brilliant lyrics and arrangement. As Tony Stark found out in the end, "It's about legacy, isn't it." This could be any hero's journey or even any regular person's journey. Show your drummer this bell and I bet he gets one. I love all of their live versions but one studio version reigns over the live version and that was "When Destinies Align." The official video 4k version is better than the live versions I have seen. It's all in the arrangement at the end. It is okay to have a favorite. That, coming from me who was always my Mom's favorite.

[@JFrancoDrums]

Awesome song!! I like Swan Song a bit more too!! This one is so well constructed, and Asami's voice really good!! Try MDO Live or Thunder Vengeance Live!! 🤘🙂🎸

[@h1ro254]

It's a very dramatic and really good song! And every time I think about it, Haruna's drums are outstanding!!︎ The drums are solid, so it's easy for other members to play! Thank you for your reaction!!

[@thedocofrock1890]

i've heard that little cymbal called an ice bell. not sure though

[@gitterich]

Merry Christmas from Germany 🎄and all the best for the new year 2022.🎆

[@DavidGatson]

It's called an Ice Bell Cymbal

[@thesaturdaymorningcowboy4198]

I'm not a drummer, but I think I've heard that cymbal referred to as a "China". I could be wrong. But with respect to your comment about watching Midori and Miyako makes you want to pick up your guitar, I feel the same way. I pick up licks just from watching them. Some people it makes them want to put theirs away. LOL!

[@pattymeals2395]

Check there song 'dystopia symphony' thats the most prog sounding song they had.

[@salsaucedo]

Before Swan Song, Edge of the World was and is, I would say that those two are in the same category and style just like Empty Daydream and Epilogue, and Frozen Serenade all classics and masterpieces

[@beldin2987]

Yeah, as a big fan of symphonic rock/metal those are also my favorites and they also helped me in the beginning to like Asamis voice much more. First when i heared "When Destinys align" i loved the guitars, but the voice was just a bit underwhelming compared to singers like Floor Jansen, Simone Simons, Sharon den Adel and these kind of singers. But then someone suggested "Epilogue" and "Edge of the World" and since then i really started to love Asami also and could also like her much more in the pure power metal songs.

[@paulread4886]

Cymbyl is an Ice Bell

[@dregeye]

9.5" she indicated on the "club" blog. "It is an indispensable part of my drums. I use it somewhere in most of the songs, and it's the one that sometimes sounds like a kankan when I'm hitting the bass drum repeatedly." ~ Haruna

[@anderslofgren8235]

When they say Miyako seems to lack emotions on stage, they must watch without sound. She pours emotions in to her solos! when she channels Gary Moore it brings tears to my eyes. I have my own theory of why she's so controlled on stage - as a classical concert pianist I have a feeling she's taught to be stone faced. You seldom see the violinist rock out at a concert either...unless it's with Ayreon 😀

[@dougporteous2474]

This song is a masterpiece in its own right, beautiful from beginning to end, now you have to check out Spellbound, it's different, I think you'll like it, Wolfpack forever

[@Psiarch]

The type of cymbal you wondered about is called an ice bell.

[@eeloucanou]

Empty Daydream also has an intro of piano.

[@arthurart99]

Try to react Miyako and Midori lovebites playing analysis...

[@DavidMISAMISAMISACook]

Miho Miho Miho!

[@funnyrailroadcrossing2767]

Thanks for reaction, you can try Lovebites - Burden Of Time live in studio for different tempo.

[@skoob64]

Many people call that cymbal you asked about a 'china.cymbal'.

[@cepho8349]

It's a beautiful song. Not like Opeth-level prog metal, but impressive still. I agree that you should check out Dystopia Symphony for another nice proggy song from them. I love their power metal songs as much as everyone else, but I would love to see them delve even deeper into prog territory. And definitely retain the more traditional heavy metal and thrash metal sound as well.

[@garykeeling2275]

The small cymbal you're referring to is called an "ice bell."

[@donnamiller6967]

ice bell

[@Hadesillo]

I would not classify Edge of the World among their prog stuff, it's one of their ballads. For Progressive stuff check Dystopia Symphony, though it is only on audio format.

[@salsaucedo]

Everyone who grew up listening to prog-rock would disagree with in claiming Edge of the World is a mere ballad, you want a ballad then you have to mention Epilogue. Prog-rock is all about layers and layers of songs put into one so don't tell me it isn't a prog song get your facts right buddy go back and listen to many bands of the '70s

[@hiawatha.g]

There are lots of bands that can thrash and shred. Some of them even do it well. But there few in history that could pull off a ballad of this quality. Pink Floyd for sure. Maybe Priest? Not many others. Oh, the cymbal that rings out like that is a "china".

[@Mrlovebitten]

The only true slow song LOVEBITES has is Epilogue kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHqke4x4qtp-fa8 it’s a true ballad song and I think the cymbal that you are referring to is called a “Ride bell” (I’m not a musician so I’m sure someone might correct me lol)

[@gt1man931]

ice cup

[@borisketou3177]

Bobblehead, this is awkward.

[@rockdariff]

Why?

[@eeloucanou]

Empty Daydream also has an intro of piano.
