LOVEBITES "Soldier Stands Solitarily" // Audio Engineer & Musician Reacts

[@oliphant2848]

Doko doko is onomatopoeia for "fast drum beat".

[@arnaldotanta3630]

Its Haruna the thunder Godess.that speed for her its another day at the office 😂😂❤❤❤

[@gordonnottsfinest180]

Two world class guitarists who make the greatest duo out there today, a prodigy named Fami slapping the bass working in perfect unison with a drummer who is often referred to as a human metronome for her precision and speed, and to put the icing on the cake we have the one and only voice of Asami. This is why they are seen by so many as the Goddesses and queen's of all the genres of metal music 🤘🎸🥁🎤🎹🐺

[@obud3777]

Miyako’s masterpiece! 🎸🔥🎸🔥🤘

[@CDMS_pt]

I hope they play this song live, it will be amazing.

[@RAG6-bq1yc]

Haruna !! The drumming skills is at the highest level, what a talent. The bomb....haruna you re the beasts.

[@arnaldotanta3630]

The thunder godess brings the storm . All of them all are top level musicians but Haruna its my top ,she is amazing ❤❤

[@GrayFox14]

Thanks for the reaction. Soldier Stands Solitarily (lyrics - Asami / music - Miyako). Miyako is the band's main composer. She wrote about 50% of all LOVEBITES music.

SSS - best song by Lovebites. Power metal meets thrash metal in the best way. Asami killed it on vocals. Loved Fami's bass part and Haruna's too. More of that please.

[@marks5451]

I loved their live stream at the release of the album. They also did a live stream of them doing a signing session and their interactions were a scream. They are so entertaining to watch even when they're not performing. And SSS is awesome.

Thank you for following LOVEBITES at all times. Please keep up the good work LOVEBITES. 【The following is from an interview with LOVEBITES for a magazine project】 [Miyako(G Key and Piano Black hair)] As for "Soldier Stands Solitarily", I had a demo of it when I was working on the "Glory, Glory, to the World" EP (2021). It had a completely different shape than this one, except for the chorus. The chorus was punchy and had a good melody, so I wasn't satisfied with it as it was. This time, I restructured it and reincarnated it. In Miyako's mind, she thought the BPM was too fast, so Miyako said in her mind to Haruna(Dr), "I'm sorry," "If you lower this BPM, it will feel different!" she said. So in Miyako's mind, Miyako said, "Haruna can play at this BPM," and"If you don't play like this, it won't sound cool!" With that in mind, Miyako entered the bass line into the software. Japanese women and children hold up the index fingers of both hands and place them on either side of their head in a "demon" or "ogre" pose, making a "I'm so angry!" and make a kawaii expression. "Demon" or "ogre" is the Japanese word for "oni".("oni"="鬼"👹). At an album presentation at her home, Miyako said, "Asami & Haruna, I'm sorry! and wrote it down and projected it on the screen. The belt Miyako requested for Asami was too high and the BPM Miyako requested for Haruna was too fast, so I think Miyako lovingly apologized to Asami and Haruna with a handwritten message panel on the screen.

Thanks for the extra info!👍😊

​@@GrayFox14 Thank you for your reply. I always enjoy reading your loving comments on LOVEBITES.

They really interact with their fans, and are always so much fun. That Asami produces such volume from such a tiny frame is amazing. What is even more amazing is that it is still such a tiny frame. I’ve never seen anyone with an appetite like Asami’s. She’s always eating. This stream was about one hour 45 minutes, with a 45 minute Q&A followed by the whole album. Approximately every 10 minutes Asami got up, exited shot, then returned with food. Cake, desert, ice cream….and on social media yesterday she said that eating pancakes as a lunch dessert was going to be enough for the day…until she decided it made her want to eat something spicy. Eating made her hungry!

If you're interested here is Miyako visiting some guitar stores and trying out some equipment kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3_GhXSvhNVooJY

[@AFLOVEable]

Great description of Miyako, I'm completly with you, here. In 5 decades of my life, in which I'm consciously listening to music, I always was impressed the most by artists, who went out and just performed. 100% invested in their art, without running into danger of distracting from it by extensive gymnastics - anybody seen Lemmy Kilmister doing back-flips on stage? Btw, Miyako is so good in making her guitar smile or weep, how much better can an artist transmit emotions from the stage to the audience? A smile gets lost under flickering lights, the sound in your ear accompanies you home.

[@joergschrader1611]

Asami is a Siren on nuclear power she ripps your soul apart!

[@1970Phoenix]

My second favourite song on the "Judgement Day" album.

[@billozzy5760]

As you say that was cool....that song realy rocks....

[@TheCyberMantis]

Lovebites = the most adorable metal band EVER. 🥺🥴 This song is a wicked 5+ minute sprint! 🏃🏼‍♀💨🔥

[@billyboyles]

Haruna! The speed, the fills, it is relentless

[@DavidMISAMISAMISACook]

Fami Fami Fami!

[@-ginotti2]

Dokodoko is a very fast double kick.

[@nandonj3662]

This was part of the "Premiere Listening Session JUDGEMENT DAY-EVE"" livestream that they did on Feb 21, 2023 to celebrate the release of their new album "JUDGEMENT DAY". The whole livestream lasted 1 and half hour and I watched the whole thing! It was really great to watch them showing the signs and having fun!!! Haruna with the little sign “Fast!” …… and she went actually faster than usual!!!

[@VRsMagic]

🔥🔥🔥LOVEBITES🐺🔥🔥 THE BEST👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 GREAT REACTION BRO🤘🏻

[@ericsaari2901]

Best song on the new album I think. I love this one and Stand and Deliver. Asami was on fire in this one. They all were. Asami hit some really high, powerful notes, Haruna killing it on the drums, some great bass work and those solos. Wow as always. Really fun video format too!

LOVEBITES - Soldier Stands Solitarily lyrics: Everything was whited out the morning I woke up If tomorrow never comes Was it ever even here? Nobody knows Trying to find key to the door It's me and no one else All in my hand Things aren't as easy as "right" and "wrong' You only need one thing to be proud of Solitary soldier Fighting till the end I'm not satisfied Solitary fire Even with the scars I'm not satisfied If I can take it all back Daydreaming won't change a thing, so worthless Life is always back and forth of hurting and getting hurt Can't change this I have been searching for something long Not enough time to care what others think Solitary soldier Fighting till the end I'm not satisfied Solitary fire Even with the scars I'm not satisfied SOLOS: miyako / midori / both Things aren't as easy as "right" and "wrong' You only need one thing to be proud of Solitary soldier Fighting till the end I'm not satisfied Solitary fire Even with the scars I'm not satisfied Solitary soldier Fighting till the end I'm not satisfied Solitary fire Even with the scars I'm not satisfied ----- lyrics: asami music: miyako arrangement: miyako & LOVEBITES album: Judgement Day 02/22/2023

[@ralphboyer2538]

On the night before the release of this album, they did a free livestream on KZbin in which they played the entire album. They opened with the music video of "Judgement Day" and ended with the premier of the music video for "Stand and Deliver." This video is part of that livestream. Not many bands would do this. They would say, "If you want to hear our music, then buy it. You get nothing for free." To me, that shows how much they love and appreciate their devoted followers. To see them in this setting, you could imagine them being the cute little girl next door, but when they walk out on stage they transform into the "Metal Goddesses!" Btw... I'm with you - Miyako is also my favorite. I don't think I've ever seen a more amazing musician. She's not only a virtuoso on piano and guitar, she also plays bass and drums, composes, and arranges. If you want to hear one of songs which shows her classical influence, listen to "Dystopia Symphony." There's no music video or live performance though. This is her tribute to Beethoven. It's even written in the style of a Beethoven Sonata - opening, three movements, and coda (ending). Some of it is almost note for note from the 3rd movement of Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata." Only someone who completely knows Beethoven's work, and someone who has an insane grasp of music theory could have written that song. I heard someone say, "We're lucky to be living in the time of Miyako." Can't disagree! Peace!

[@JFrancoDrums]

My fav song from the album!! song by miyako yes!! 🤘Love it i believe Doko Doko is related to the fast drums!

[@Patrick_H.]

Miyako has traditionally written about 40% of their songs,. Miho wrote about 15-20%, and Mao Yamamoto, keyboardist and composer for his band, Lightbringer, and a few other bands, has written about 40% (6 of the 10 songs on Judgement Day - Miyako wrote the rest). Mao also writes for one of THE best Metal bands in Japan - *Unlucky Morpheus* (you haven't gotten to them yet). Two guitarists as good as Miyako and Midori, a singer as powerful as Asami, a drummer who plays faster than Haruna, and a Violinist that shreds as hard as the guitar players.. They are my 2nd favorite band in the world (after Lovebites) and a *Must See* for you. Try *_Dignity of Spirit_* kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmi6aneZirCMlbc 🤘🐺🤘

[@realdocloco]

He's also writing for LONESOME_BLUE.

[@guitarzen5999]

​@realdocloco Are they still around? I figured after Narumi quit they were toast.

[@Prog.and.Metal.Fan711]

Yes, Unlucky Morpheus ! If you like Jill’s violin, I recommend " The Tower of The Blood ” kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoXYiIKNe8RjqJo

[@realdocloco]

@@guitarzen5999 They said they will continue with support guitarist first, while looking for a guitarist member. We'll see.

This track was dope.. but, Haruna was more dope.. She's all over in this track... Beast 🔥

[@BayneUpton]

When Haruna says "Fast" better frackin' buckle up !!!

[@davidhersrud5139]

🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺💪🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@rainerzufall42]

They told you, that it was Miyako's composition. It was written on the sign!

[@musikbyjh]

And I even said “oh yeah, that’s right”! Or did you miss that?

[@rainerzufall42]

@@musikbyjh Maybe...

[@zakkwylde551]

This album is LoveBites all out come back album after long hiatus for finding Miho replacement n for Asami n Miyako maternity leave. Perhaps Miyako wrote this song during her pregnancy period 😂. The drum parts,Haruna looks faster than Usain Bolt.

[@johnmagill7714]

I was getting winded just listening to Haruna on this one..lol

[@anthonypowell6234]

For comparison, MIdori composed "Glory to the World", while Miyako composed this one among many others. Perhaps Midori has too much gym time to compose more somgs!

[@pinoypower69]

thumbs down for you .

[@musikbyjh]

I bet that’s how you felt when my Ravens won the Super Bowl last time too? 😂🤣😂🤣😂
