Musicians react to hearing LOVEBITES / BURDEN OF TIME - Studio Live

[@oldguykeith9439]

Miyakos talent is unsurpassed.

[@boyzyu]

I believe you guys have done one song of Lovebites with gang vocals - the MV of "Stand and Deliver (Shoot 'em Down)". Here's another with vocals from other members of the band - "Empty Daydream" LIVE : kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJyzqZakqLedos0

Lovebites - “Empty Daydream” live 2019

[@jc8453]

LOVEBITES Journey To The Otherside kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaukcodtq8x-nZo With backing vocals and the quiet Miyako getting into it ALSO copied from another post This was the first time Lovebites played this venue, Miho's father used to take her here for concerts and was supposed to be there but passed a few months before it took place. What a true professional Miho is that she could play through that song while being so visibly hurting. Asami was emotional as well.

[@realdocloco]

Main backing vocalist is Miyako, with Midori and Miho - and now Fami - often helping on chorus. I'd love to hear Miyako singing solo once (not necessarily in the Lovebites context though).

[@Daniel_Colavecchio]

I agree, I actually like some of their older live music where Miyako did more backing vocals, and I think she has a nice voice.

[@Ratovx]

She does a loT of vocals on Jyounetsu Summer Day - 21g

🤣🤣🤣 - was just waiting for you guys to lose your shit when MIYAKO started playing guitar and keys at the same time 😉

[@snakewhisperer1]

Yes...."Empty Daydream" for more harmony vocals.

[@ahodori-dl5hz]

This live studio performance was streamed in 2020, the year of the COVID pandemic that canceled live concerts, to celebrate the third anniversary of the release of their first full-length album, AWAKENING FROM ABYSS.

[@evilvolts]

Got to love Miyako playing Guitar and Keyboard at same time in this video ]:)

[@sonnynguyen9103]

Thank you for reacting and supporting Lovebites, the most talented ladies in metal.

[@CaptainAfterland]

It's not shown in the video that well but the backing vocals are four-part in places. Haruna sings too!

[@СанатТокушев-б4с]

Miyako 🔥🎸🎹

[@gt1man931]

There are several tracks with backing vocals, and a few with harmonies with Asami, but you'll find that is pretty much exclusive with Miyako(brunette lead).

[@VeljkoNikolic-is5px]

ASAMI is from world of R&B, Jazz, Classic Ballet, that what her hands are doing

[@kielanuar213]

Simple but mind boggling. Lovebites forever!👍💪🤘

[@03acerider]

Thank you for your support of my favorite heavy metal band!🤘🏼

[@GarageYears]

Actually Miyako sings a lot of backing vocals on quite a few tracks, but there are others where there are more harmonies - as others have mentioned "Empty Daydream" (live) is a good one.

LOVEBITES - Burden Of Time lyrics: Sleepless nights, with every passing day I'm dreaming life away Faceless moon, tell me, what would you say If you could curse your fate The daylight will die Silent noise is ringing in my head Killing me through the night Scars might fade, but the pain will remain Save me before the dawn As days go by I'm standing here Still fighting it One day I must change (Don't waste your time) Time is fair to everyone (Don't waste your life) Time and tide wait for no one Don't ever be afraid to die young and live fast (Don't waste your time) Time is slipping away from us (Don't waste your life) Time keeps changing, and so do we Live as if today was the last day SOLO: mi-ya Starless nights, with every passing day I'm swinging life away An empty glass is falling down again What's happening in my life？ The blood stains remain Flames will ignite Searching for the light In this time In due time SOLO: mi-ya / midori / both I'm standing here Still fighting it One day I must change (Don't waste your time) Time is fair to everyone (Don't waste your life) Time and tide wait for no one Don't ever be afraid to die young and live fast (Don't waste your time) Time will never be the same (Don't waste your life) Time is running out too soon Racing against the clock But we can't escape from tomorrow (Don't waste your time) Time is slipping away from us (Don't waste your life) Time keeps changing, and so do we Live as if today was the last day ----- lyrics: miho music: miho & Mao arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) & Mao from Awakening From Abyss 2017

[@pascalfleury5089]

You have one of the E songs, empty daydream, where they all singing (except the drumer).

[@guitarzen5999]

Midori doesn't sing on Empty Daydream.

[@evilvolts]

The song Empty Daydream also has them doing background vocals 2 part Miyako and Miho backing

[@mythsteps1]

Empty Daydream 2019 ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/oonLkKiDgp5noLc ) would be a very good choice for backup vocals.

[@hoges412]

Always good to see reactors pick up on Miyako's dual instrument party trick, some of them miss it entirely! She does this live as well, in a fairly rare video from Battle In The East. As a further suggestion, there are no backing vocals in this one, but some unexpected diversity from another band member, check out Today is The Day. There's a version on You Tube from the 2021 Heavy Metal Never Dies concert. Cheers.

[@PaleHorseShabuShabu]

Great choice

[@GrayFox14]

In this video, Miyako also does everything Live, like the other members of the band. 🤗 'Awake Again - Live from Abyss', the video from which the guys checked, is also a Live concert. Only LOVEBITES played this concert (October 25, 2017) not in a concert hall, but in a studio, with a minimum number of technical personnel (due to the Covid-19 pandemic). The audience watched this concert 'on-line' via the Internet.

[@hoges412]

Fair call, I meant a concert with live audience, where you can't do a retake, however I accept that this was also a one-take performance, which I assume was streamed live at the time.

[@GrayFox14]

@@hoges412 Thank you for understanding me correctly. Yes, there was a live broadcast of this concert. The same as, for example, the broadcast of the LOVEBITES concert in Tokyo on September 24, 2023 (Women’s University Hitomi Memorial Auditorium)

[@garykeeling2275]

Off the top of my head, "Empty Daydream," "Stand and Deliver (Shoot 'Em Down)," and "Hammer of Wrath" all have prominent background vocals.

[@ronglua614]

Thunder Vengeance and Break the Wall

[@sunshaker01]

There were additional vocals in Stand and Deliver (which you already watched), I suspect that there will be more as Fami gets more integrated into the band (the Judgement Day album was written, though not recorded, before she joined so it does not make full use of her abilities). A good example of this is 「【けいおん！】Don't say lazy」を1人でバンド組んで演奏してみた /ふぁみ。（Bass Cover）kzbin.info/www/bejne/iX7NdKeEhL5nhJY where she plays all the instruments and sings, this is really short so it might not be worth a reaction. A pianists, especially the high level ones, have Limb Independence with their arms/hands (when they play different parts with each hand), Miyako demonstrated that she not only has Limb Independence she has a second brain letting her play different instruments at the same time. Usually this shows up in guitarists that are also piano players as some form of 2 Handed Tap where one hand is playing Lead and the other Rhythm guitar and/or 1 playing Lead and the other playing Bass. Often, but not always, guitarists like this will play instruments with more than 6 strings and in some cases fully custom instruments with 12 or more strings. Notable examples are: The Doo (this is probably the one to react to), Yvette Young, Sarah Longfield, Felix Martin and maybe Charlie Hunter (bass and guitar). 1 Minute With Felix Martin's Guitar - Sarah Longfield kzbin.info/www/bejne/qp_LoXR7ZtKhfaM (Sarah usually plays an 8 string, but Felix let her play his 16 string, she picks right up on it in a way most guitarists couldn't) this is really short and again not meant for reaction. Charlie Hunter is maybe the odd one out as he uses a custom 7 string (4 guitar strings and 3 bass strings) to play both the roles in his band.

[@1970Phoenix]

I doubt there are very many musicians that could do what Miyako just did. She's a musical savant.

[@noelle3551]

It's not unusual. There are many proficient musicians in the world who can do this! Try not to get carried away 😉!!

[@1970Phoenix]

@@noelle3551 I suspect we define "unusual" and "many" a bit differently.

[@noelle3551]

@1970Phoenix maybe for you. However, for me, in the context of how I presented it, it is correct! A side note, I know of at least 3 personally who can do that in my country alone, multiply that out around the world, and that goes beyond "I doubt there are very many." I suspect in Japan there are many who can do it also. Never underestimate the proficiency of musicians! It is not unusual!!

[@kirilkirilov7185]

If you want to see a great live performance with huge, I mean huge backing vocals, especially from Miyako (the lady's name you fail to remember...shame😂😂) you need to see " Empty Daydream" - live!!! First Miho gets to do it, and then Miyako - the vocals she is pulling. See it for yourselves, you won't be disappointed...

[@TheApilas]

Their song "Addicted" has some backing/chorus vocsls

[@1970Phoenix]

I just checked out your new song "Top Shelf Villian". Musically I really like it, and I think the animated video is very cool. I've never been the biggest fan of screamo type vocals (which is why I can't get into Jinjer, but I love Hanabie, so I guess I just contradicted myself), but I still enjoyed your song. I suspect you guys would be a fun band to see live.

[@hiawatha.g]

Gorgeous background vocals in "Empty Daydream". Miyako goes high. Of course.

[@MORBID-JAPAN]

ROCK'N'ROLL🤘🔥

[@mechanicat23]

I was lucky enough to accidentally see this right as it showed up on KZbin. I wasn’t even a Lovebites fan back then. Watching this relaxed session during the pandemic made me appreciate them.

[@PaleHorseShabuShabu]

I’ve seen people be a bit dismissive of Miyako playing the two instruments at once because she’s just playing power chords, but even so it’s still badass. Asami, Haruna, and Miho are great here too. One of my top LB songs.

[@jonasw3945]

You did hear them sing in Stand and Deliver

[@fyreflygames406]

P.s. thank you especially for checking out "Eagle fly free". I had not realized Lovebites covered that. Having grown up with the music of Helloween as a teenager in the 1980s and being enthralled with Lovebites now as best ager, this is like a dream come true.

[@indra-qw1bz]

'raise some hell'...another their badass gang vocal

Yes, Miyako is playing a Piano solo, and playing hammer on power chords. Soling on piano alongside Midoris solo, while giving a rythum on guitar.

For more backing vocal goodness, check out Empty Daydream (live), one of my favorite Lovebites performances. Thanks for reacting! 🤘🐺

[@jawosammadennhier7062]

6:26 Yes, Míyako surprises us again with her music skills. 😁 She always choses the _hard_ stuff (on which intrument ever), and lets it look easy. 😂 And the other members staying "cool as f***"... 😂As if it were nothing... So "outrageous". 😁 Asami once went "Every band should have a Míyako", not without reasons. I would so much like to be proud of Míyako, but unfortunately I have no part in her career. "Keep it going, lady!" 😊🐺💮GER

[@eriklatta4236]

This entire session is on their channel. You've got to watch the whole thing. React to it or don't, either way you have to see it. I've watched it several times. Super enjoyable.

[@kekjagung]

"...never, ever, ever heard..." seriously...? the gang vocals in 'Stand & Deliver' is hard to miss.. - it's in ur own reacted playlist...

[@rolandkarlsson7072]

Nah.... the gang vocals are hardly harmonizing. They do some short harmonizing singing in the same video though. But nothing like in Burdens of Time. This is much more epic.

[@marks5451]

There's a few songs when there are some backing vocals, but only this one where Miyako plays 2 instruments at the same time. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Guitarist/keyboardist Miyako does harmonizing vocals with Asami in the song “Empty Daydream” Miyako has Soprano range!🤘

[@fyreflygames406]

Hi guys, greetings from Germany. Thanks for your inspiring reaction videos! I really enjoy watching them. I've been a fan of Lovebites for about a year and I get a tremendous kick out of all of their music. Checking your playlist so far I have two more recommendations for videos to check out: "Raise some hell" from the 2020 Five of a kind Blueray disc, which is pure rock'n'roll that shreds the paint off of the walls, and "We the united" from the latest Blueray disc "Knocking at heaven's gate pt. 2" with its positive vibes and a charming laugh from Asami in the middle of her singing. Enjoy!

[@bernardoesperanto3194]

In the studio version of "Stand and Deliver" the are goofing around and switch instruments. Miyako plays drums (on a high level), Midori has the lead voice etc. I like the MV because they wear casual clothes and do silly things which creates a very personal atmosphere. The live version is great, but nothing special.

[@dregeye]

"nothing special" ?? In "my book" everything LOVEBITES does is "special" and enhances my quality-of-life. Sorry you are allowing yourself to "miss out" ... 😉 ( I 👍your comment in spite of that!) Do you have an example of an other band playing LIVE a song with such great upbeat enthusiasm & musical virtuosity, both musically & lyrically? I am interested! 🐺 dreg👁

Miyako is a genius

[@GrayFox14]

Thanks for your reaction. 'Burden of Time' (lyrics -Miho / music -Miho, Mao). Midori on the 'Awakening from Abyss' Album (2017): - "I like all the songs, but if I had to pick one, it would be the seventh song, 'Burden of Time'. The way the chorus is included in the song is catchy, and I think it's good." Miho: - "I wanted to create something that could only be expressed with the words 'heavy metal'. Not with the words "Is this metal?' or 'Is this an anime song?' Only in 'heavy metal' words! LOVEBITES is a band that came about because I wanted to play songs like IRON MAIDEN. However, if we played 80s metal, it would become old-fashioned music, so we aimed incorporate 'old schoo'l elements while keeping the time in mind."

[@daveminers3404]

"Empty Daydream" contains my favorite backing vocals, superior to this song IMO.

Whoever the original lighting director was for this video should be fired. This may be the first time you hear them do backup vocals but they have done backup vocals on several other videos

[@dregeye]

You must be saying Offset Era "should be fired", as that is who altered the brightness/contrast. The original LOVEBITES release has perfect lighting & audio of every member throughout. The link is provided in the description (thanks, Offset Era). Never trust a "reactor" to display a band's meticulous attention to detail in audio or video when they "edit" for their "reaction". It is my constant complaint about "reaction videos" in general is the reactor's disregard for the work a band (& management) puts into their audio-mix and video presentation. I have this Blu-ray. It is a unique 'gem' among a collection of 'jewels', imo. 🐺 dreg👁

[@GrayFox14]

If we follow your words, we will have to fire ALL Reactors who check the songs from 'Awake Again - Live from Abyss'! But seriously, you are being unfair. The sound and light quality on the DVD/Blu-ray 'Awake Again - Live from Abyss' is excellent ! We can say that the sound and light are perfect! Don’t judge by those video copies (reactions) that appear on YT. Reactors also take videos of these songs from YT (not the originals). They check the copies. As a result, what you are watching (reactions) is already the 2nd or 3rd, highly distorted, copies of the originals.
