This is mix of punk, thrash, power metal, hard rock, rock and fun. Only these Ladies can do it.

While they were all fooling around with each others instruments, the thing that struck me, was how gorgeous Midori looked with her hair out, with the microphone in her hand, imitating Asami. Another funny part, was Asami trying to reach up & sing into Miyako's microphone. Love this song

[@snakewhisperer1]

.....and let's not forget Haruna's "impressive" eight finger tapping on the bass!

[@outwest1014]

She had a better chance with Miyako's mic than Fami's!!

[@skoob-kq7ms]

She looked Lenny of Motorhead.

[@785boats]

@@outwest1014 You got that right man. I don't see why she needs to wear those high boots. She already towers over the rest of them. But hey, she looks so cool in that den of wolves.

Thank you for following LOVEBITES at all times. 【From an interview with Asami and Fami for a magazine project】 Asami wanted to use the sound of "river" in the lyrics, but thought it would be strange to use "river" as the chorus. Asami found "deliver" and thought it would be cool if everyone shouted it out instead of just telling what the word means. For many Japanese, pronouncing and hearing the English "r" and "l" is difficult. From there, Asami arrived at "stand and deliver. "Stand and deliver" is a pirate term that apparently means "Leave all your money!" Asami thought that if he wrote the lyrics as they were, it would be a song about a "pirate king. Asami wanted to avoid that. Asami learned that "deliver" can also mean "to carry out" or "to be free" in addition to "to deliver. Asami uses "Stand and deliver" with the following interpretation and meaning. Stand up and be free! Rise up and be free! Arise and be free! Let's get up and be free! From there, Asami put the following thoughts into the lyrics. Nothing satisfies me. It's boring to be like this every day! Let's go more bouncy! Let's be bold and do something different! Let's break out of our shell!

[@Lightning61]

These Gals Kill It, Every Freaking Time! 🤘 They did a "fun" switch for the vid, but Miyako is actually an awesome drummer also.

[@h1ro254]

After listening to the sound of the first bass, I immediately liked this song🎸 I'm very happy to be able to talk like this about daRiff and LOVEBITES again this time😊 I'm looking forward to the next video👍See you daRiff👋

Phenomenal, creative, harmonies and fun song. Lovebites does it again. Waiting for live performance😍👍👍🤘

FYI, they have subtitled the English lyrics now for the videos, including the Judgement Day mv.

[@JFrancoDrums]

Really dig this track, really cool video as well, looks so much fun!! 🤘🐺🤘 The album came out yesterday and its fantastic 🤘😁🤘

[@outwest1014]

Music by Miyako; Lyrics by Asami; Arrangement by Miyako. Miyako always does her own arrangements, Moa does the arrangements for the other members. Midori had mentioned she was going to work on using the Whammy Bar. Great song, it's Lovebites but not copy/paste. The change is the bass is more prominent now. Miyako can play anything she puts her mind to, Fami is an excellent guitar player and singer (there's a video).

[@davidhersrud5139]

They have been updating and releasing videos with the cc option working.... cool reaction 🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@gman-Gordon]

Great review of a great song. As others have said it was released on 2/22 and it is already number 1 in Japan and on iTunes in the US. The radio stations had better take notice and start playing them so they can continue to take over the world, especially since the older bands have already retired or are getting close.

[@alekhidell]

It is impossible not to like this. It’s an homage to Motörhead. The entire album is at this pace.

[@meteorrunner]

Nice end to the day! This album is so good.

[@marks5451]

Good to see Haruna with a mic joining in the vocals. The Judgement Day album has now been released and is a full album of 10 tracks. Looking forward to you reacting to the rest of the album. LOVEBITES recorded them doing a CD signing of several hours. Very entertaining. Here's a link to a very short clip where Haruna mimics Midori's POWER building pose. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJjdqWCcg9GIkLM🤘🤘🤘🤘🐺🐺

Floyd Rose whammy bars can be a pain to set up, but they tend to be solid once they're set. I had a lucky find that turned out be once of my favorite guitars many years ago. A music shop had a BC Rich nj series 7 string warlock with a locking Floyd whammy on it. The tension was all jacked up from someone who set the thing up wrong and I talked them into $300 out the door. Had it fixed and tuned up 15 minutes after getting home. Those custom pickups BC Rich was making for their nice stuff back in the late 90s are fantastic for passive pickups.

[@fab1901]

Miyako has been taking piano lessons for many years, so I think she is able to step on the wah pedal just like a piano pedal. P.S. The fourth original album, JUDGEMENT DAY, was released on February 22, 2023.

[@hiawatha.g]

😂😂😂😂 Well, that's an understatement if ever there was one! She could have been a professional classical concert pianist. Metal captured her heart instead.

[@rogermoore5764]

[@andreaspedersen3952]

I kind of have a feeling this is a pro rehearsal studio. Not only to rehearse the songs and make them tight... But also on the stage presence. I've seen Nemophila using same setting. Like: playing towards a mirror.

[@danw6048]

The official release date was yesterday, February 22, and I ordered the CD/Blu-Ray a few months ago. It arrived yesterday and I am thoroughly enjoying the album. The album is 10 songs and I believe between 53 and 54 minutes, which is on the short end for Lovebites. It is about the same length as Clockwork Immortality, their second full length album which also had 10 tracks. Their first full length album, Awakening From Abyss, is almost 61 minutes and their 3rd full length album, Electric Pentagram, is a whopping 70 minutes (with not a single filler song). This track is their most fun on the album, even without the music video. It is also a first for Lovebites - the first, and currently only, song cowritten by Miyako and Asami. I hope it is the first of many in the future because they knocked this one out of the park. EDIT: BTW, I believe that Fami and Miyako are the same height at 5'2". Some pictures show Fami taller because of the platform boots she likes to wear (although she has not reached Lzzy Hale platform heights yet).

[@rogermoore5764]

Who'd you get it from cd japan? Cause I just ordered mine from here in the states meaning wally the release date for here meaning North America is the 3rd of March, I'd say I can live with that but the way things are goin' who knows!

[@danw6048]

@@rogermoore5764 Yes, I ordered it from CDJapan as soon as preorders were available. The only downside is the Blu-Ray does not have English subtitles. The 4 audition tracks, however, sound fantastic on the Blu-Ray and it is fun watching Fami perform with them during the auditions. The mix really has the bass up front which is likely the exact same mix they listened to in making their decision.

[@rogermoore5764]

@@danw6048 Yea I used CD Japan a couple times but if I can find it from a local vendor I usually go that route. I've gotten Band-Maid and Aldious from Wally I figure it's easier to return if you have to.

[@danw6048]

@@rogermoore5764 The only other order I have made from Japan was Band-Maid's Unseen World from Pony Canyon. The cd arrived in a large box because they sent me a Band-Maid poster for free that I wasn't expecting at all. It was a very nice surprise. CDJapan sent me a small group photo of Lovebites with their printed autographs that I didn't know, or forgot, I was getting (Haruna has an interesting autograph signature).

[@dennismitchell9500]

I think the new basses is making a difference in their sound.

[@snakewhisperer1]

Enjoyed the reaction. Don't be afraid of a Floyd Rose (or Edge on an Ibanez) if you feel like it will expand your creativity. Yeah, they're a pain in the ass to re-string and initially tune. You just have to set aside an afternoon with your guitar and a beer. But once you get it dialed in, it won't let you down (provided it's a proper unit and not a knock off). The disadvantage to that is you can't really use multiple tunings in a show. Midori brings two E-II Horizons with her on stage. She uses the blue one for standard and the black one for drop D. And yes.....very jealous of that rehearsal space. Ours is about 1/3 that size.

[@rockdariff]

Yea I switch tunings a few times during my bands setlist

[@snakewhisperer1]

That's the nice thing about having multiple guitars. I take three with me on stage: A Les Paul, a Strat, and either an Ibanez or the same model E-II Horizon in "Reindeer Blue" as Midori's (found it used online for a great price, so just had to snag it.....but it begs the question: Have you ever seen a blue Reindeer?)

[@rockdariff]

Haha cant say I have…for me I like just having the one guitar, i know it well, plus less to haul around for gigs

[@snakewhisperer1]

Can't argue with hauling around less gear. I just bought a Boss GT-1000 because I'm getting too old to lug an amp stack around.

[@simonhill4021]

Don't know if it's just me but, Midori had some AC/DC flavour in there and Miyako had a bit of Guns and Roses

[@rockdariff]

Maybe thats what I was hearing as well haha

[@glenkelley6799]

That Midori part that you liked, she did almost the exact same thing in the MV Winds Of Transylvania [VLADLOVE Version] - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqSoZYiYlLWdnpo - view or react but watch. This was the opening sing for the anime "Winds of Transylvania".

[@rockdariff]

Ive done this track as well

[@glenkelley6799]

@@rockdariff I meant was the riff Midori did with the tremolo was pretty close to what she did in both songs.

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

Try CC if you don't know what they are saying - duh.

Did Fami make a Totham joke having a water bottle while Miyako was ripping a solo?

[@heavymetalisthelaw1227]

Hell Yea 🤘 really cool song and I love the gang vocals in this song. The video is also super cool with them dressed alittle more comfortable. The next song I vote you check out is "Soldier Stands Solitarily" they saved one of the best songs for the last song on the album. Absolutely face melting speed kzbin.info/www/bejne/oanXgKd8rtqtprc

[@danw6048]

I second your suggestion of Soldier Stands Solitarily - one of the three solo Miyako compositions on the album. Lovebites is very good at ending their albums with superior songs (Bravehearted, Epilogue, Swan Song and Soldier Stands Solitarily).

[@glenkelley6799]

BTW, if you want some tips on the tremolo bar, just watch some of Jeff Beck clips (live at Ronnie Scotts), he's the master of the tremolo. Here's a good one to watch, a full show - here's one of my favorites (bonus, one of the best bassists - Tal) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqibl3WIlL2chtU

[@SaulTyre]

Don't forget Vinnie & Jason too, it was the best band he ever put together, so tight, RIP Jeff your music will live on forever.

[@gatograto]

Lol, Asami looks like a hobbit with her pointed cap. Whammy bars and wah pedals are tools or gimmick yet they are liked to your physical body part as you have to control them like extensions of your arm or foot. It is not like foot switch on off. Then you need your emotion and physical control to utilize them. It is almost like vocal. It's what I think. BTW, the hand at the very beginning is Miyako.

[@danw6048]

I have a minor disagreement on part of your comment. The hand at the very beginning belongs to Fami. I saw Fami have the same bandage-type wrap on her index finger while she was playing (a benefit of having a big 4K television)
