My First LOVEBITES Analysis! "Holy War" finally gracing my ears!

[@christiancouvidou4777]

The purity of Asami’s vocal tone, her excitement and grace in performance, and her subtle ability as a lyricist and music composer are what make her a truly special artist 🤘🐺🤘

[@DanielHoerle-ww9so]

Thank you for covering Lovebites i suggested them several months asking you to critique this awesome band

[@outwest1014]

Asami studied Ballet in her youth, including time in Los Angeles where she improved her English. Due to ballet not having a need for many 4'10" ballerinas she became a singer. She was mainly a R&B, Jazz singer before Lovebites. She actually knew nothing about metal music, but Miho, bass & band founder, recruited her. Being English fluent was important as all of their songs, the lyrics are in English. She is an excellent, powerful singer with full vocal missing in so much metal songs. Asami is the primary lyricist for the band.

[@andrewbarton3361]

Wow, my jaw is on the floor! A special mention for the drummer - how the hell did she do that and with such precision! Amazing!

[@rainerzufall42]

She does that relentlessly for the full 2 hours show... nick name "little BIG engine". One of the best drummers in the world, a 4' 9" with a big drum set. Precise and enduring.

[@rainerzufall42]

And fast! How could I forget that? She was working on optimizing her movements, so she doesn't do any useless movements. Very effective!

[@davidhughes8204]

[@ArcaneWolf9]

So glad Elizabeth is finally getting to this band. They really do merit it. Each of the members is so strong and they really bring a powerful sound, with a hopeful, fun atmosphere. One fun thing that is a little hard to catch when they are on stage is that all the members (at this point) are around 5 feet tall. You'd never guess it, because on stage, they play like giants. Watch their drummer Haruna for evidence of that, she's a real powerhouse.

Named after the Grammy winning song Love Bites (So Do I) by Halestorm. Asami joined Lzzy at 2019 Download to perform that song. Some songs , like this one, lean towards power metal. Others, like Break the Wall and Thunder Vengeance ,lean towards thrash metal. Miho is on bass here, she left in 2021. Fami joined as the new bassist last October. Miyako and Midori on guitar, and Haruna on drums. All are between 4' 9" and 5' 2". Yes, check out Miyako's Chopin piano intro on Swan Song. Also Hammer of Wrath from the upcoming DVD Knocking on Heaven's Gate, to see Fami.

Elizabeth, I think you would enjoy their song Swan Song which has a piano Chopin intro played by Miyako who has played piano since age 3. The Wolfpack (Lovebite fans) are pleased

[@MissLoonasSpeech]

I fully second the recommendation of "Swan Song" plus the Chopin intro which was what I suggested in my comment to the last Iron Maiden reaction, because it also showcases Miyako's piano skills. Therefore, I hope that this first reaction to Lovebites won't be the last one.

As you know a lot of us have been hoping you would get to Lovebites. Thank you for checking them out. Regarding endurance: They do this for two hours in their concerts, at this intensity, and in fact in their last recorded concert ("Heavy Metal Never Dies") they actually ended the set with Holy War. Asami held the last note in that one for some 13 seconds by my count. And then they did an encore.

[@nikostheater]

At last, LOVEBITES! 🤘🏻🤘🏻 Thank you Elisabeth for the wonderful reaction to them! I was one of the first people that suggested them to you some time ago and I can’t express enough my joy watching this! This band encapsulates flawless perfection. Other brothers and sisters will suggest other songs of their catalogue, so I won’t waste more of your time here, it’s worth noting though that basically the entirety of their catalogue is full of masterpieces. I can’t wait for your next stop at your Lovebites journey! Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷 🐺

[@noelle3551]

I am sure you will find out that there is a classical element attached to this group! Miyako is a classical trained pianist complete with degree, writes a lot of their music! Her Chopin Revolutionary etude in this concert is breathtaking as is the accompanied song Swan song!! A footnote: Asami started out as a R&B singer, backing vocals for a couple of well known groups! There is however at least 4 videos on YT of Asami singing at a club about 10 years ago if you would like to peruse! I absolutely love them!! Great reaction 🤟😎

I discovered them only a couple of months ago, and loved them immediately - they've joined Nightwish and Rammstein in my short list of absolute favourites. They have something in common, like those other bands, each member is brilliantly good, yet plays to serve the band and the song, not their own ego. I also love the tracks where Asami dances - she's pretty damn good at that too! And as someone else said - that piano isn't just a prop . . . bring on more !

[@nandonj3662]

Dear Elizabeth, finally!! Your reaction to Lovebites was long overdue!!! This is an incredible metal band, with talented musicians and with Asami: she is a power-house, with a lot of vocal stamina and one of the best lead-singer & front-women in the Metal scene these days!!

[@Nighteye2]

Finally :D Now let me use this opportunity to again suggest Swan Song for your next Lovebites reaction, particularly the version with the Chopin Intro - I know you'll love it ;)

[@ArcaneWolf9]

Yeah, not just a keyboard but a full piano on stage, so it has to be set up some distance from the band. It's fun to watch Miyako have to run from the piano intro to get into place for her guitar part and then get back at the end for the outro, but it's equally fun to watch the band adjust with one eye on her to allow her to do it. They put on a great show and really seem to work well together. They have a lot of material worth a watch.

If you’d like to check out more from them here’s a few more songs that show off Asami and the rest of the band: - Frozen Serenade (Live from Tokyo with lyrics) - A change of pace from Holy War and a great performance from Asami! - Swan Song (With Chopin intro from “Five of a Kind” 2020) - This one also includes their guitarist Miyako performing the Chopin Etude that inspired the song. She’s truly a multi-virtuoso! - Edge of the World (Live from “Five of a Kind”) - One of Asami’s best performances! - Glory To the World (Official Music Video) - Wickedly Fast, super technical, and with an inspiring message of mental health! - Judgement Day (Official Music Video) - A song from their latest album and first song released with their new bassist Fami. Of course, no pressure to do all of these! But if you enjoyed Holy War enough to at least check some of them out, you truly can’t go wrong with any of them!

A bit of history. There was this promising band called DestRose that around 2011-12 got a new roster with very young girls 19-20 years old. Among them there was a tiny cute drummer called _haruna_ and a wild metalhead bassist called _miho._ Shortly after _haruna_ got some personal stuff going on and left music to focus on real life. Not much time later _miho_ also left with the idea to make a new band, one that did sound like those groups from the 80s she loved. She didn't know a better drummer than _haruna,_ so in 2016 she convinced this awesome drummer she knew from her old band to come back to music, and also added to the project two guitar players that had been around the metal scene in Tokyo but never in big bands, _miyako_ and _midori._ But they missed a singer. The story of asami is somewhere else. She studied classical music and ballet since she was 8, spent two years in New York doing ballet, and for some time she was singing RnB and soul in some underground jazz-bars in Tokyo. Later she entered into contact with some pop groups doing backing vocals in studio, and then a couple big j-rock bands contacted her to do support vocals in some sections of their songs. A bit lost on her career, that made her think she might try luck in rock instead, and sent a demo tape to several labels. In 2016. At the same time the other 4 girls were looking for a singer. Once _miho_ crossed her tape she thought her voice could sound like Bruce's or Dio's if done properly, so they contacted her and interviewed her. They say it was something like "we do heavy metal". "What?". "That music like Metallica". "Who?". But there you have her now, leading the metal stages with enormous presence and femenine power and you can be sure she studied hard what Bruce, Dio, Rob Halford or other giants from that time were doing.

Welcome to the Wolfpack, you have a long journey ahead of you! Enjoy the current best metalband in the world! 🐺🤘LOVEBITES🤘🐺

[@1970Phoenix]

I'm actually jealous when I hear of a person discovering LOVEBITES for the first time, as I know what an amazing journey they have in front of them.

[@davep5788]

I know this is an older comment, but if you haven't seen it, they do a great cover of Judas Priest's Painkiller.

[@markheath213]

Happened to catch theae at Bloodstock 2018, never heard of them before then and have been hooked ever since. Great band, they deserve way more exposure than they get. They need to come to the UK again.

[@davidlandru3578]

I have been waiting for this moment for so long !

[@MinaTepesshu]

about time! I was thinking this would never happen. hopefully you do more of them. they have no bad songs. just pick one and be amazed. they are definitely something special.

[@danwhite7265]

Would be criminal not to do any more Lovebites. I suggest Edge of the World.

[@blackowl83]

Yes..she needs do more lovebites reactions...i suggest empty daydream...

[@PaleHorseShabuShabu]

Wagakki Band was a one and done so far, but she’s analyzed Babymetal a few times, so there’s hope.

[@nasihinnasir3851]

Swan

[@pappapata]

I concur🙏

[@stevefeatherstone2926]

Great reaction I'm so glad you have done lovebites. These ladies deserve worldwide recognition. It really is incredible how much talent is in this band

[@bhg70]

Thank you for doing this. So happy to see a deep dive into Asami's vocal prowess.

[@platinummad4701]

Man I hope you do more lovebites had so much fun watching you react to them the same way I did when I first listened to them, how are they so good 😂

[@FrédéricSanfaçon]

Thank you for sharing so much knowledge, passion and emotions with us ! A real pleasure to see lovebites this morning 😊 This is a great chanel and have a fantastique week-end 🤘from Québec City

[@Calvin.of.Martin.Street]

Lovebites had me from the first moment I heard them. The dual lead guitars and the just nonstop power metal barrage when they play live makes my aging heart race.

[@JosephSaintClair]

Been waiting for this day ❤️ Lovebites is truly a uniquely amazing band. They’re the whole package. An actual show. An experience. Thank you for listening 🙏 Edit: “the crusade” next… or…. “Stand and deliver” (which has a really cute video clip)

[@s.codyjohnson5313]

Finally! Been hoping you would feature them! Always enjoy your videos :)

[@GilbertoLeon]

Been waiting for Elizabeth's reaction to LOVEBITES since forever

[@alearr]

Wooowww!! Lovebites are the true heirs of all the classic metal band you reacted until today. Old school metal but with a fresh touch. They suddenly become my favourite heavy metal band. 🎸 They are also all classically trained. Each one of them is a music genius with Miyako (dark air guitarist) leading the way. This will be a very deep and enjoyable rabbit hole. Thanks for reacting to them and welcome to the Wolfpack!! 😉🐺🤘🏻

[@mgdarenz]

The true heirs? Lol They sound like a combination of every symphonic metal band with a female vocalist, that came way before them. Slow down, kid.

[@alearr]

@@mgdarenzyes. Nice. I’ve been listening to them since 2019. I think I know what I’m talking about 😉 Have a full round trip with their full discography (60 songs by the way) and then let me know 👋🏻

[@mgdarenz]

@@alearr Liked your own post? 😂 Been listening since 2019? Amazing! 🥳

[@rainerzufall42]

@@mgdarenz FIrst watch 60 of their self written songs, then your negative vibes will disappear...

[@alearr]

@@mgdarenz??? 🤔

[@darrylbrogdon6528]

TYVM for finally getting to these Goddesses. If you want to see how amazing Miyako is at piano plz do Chopin Etude/Swansong next, it will blow your mind,promise.❤😊

[@MissLoonasSpeech]

Judging by this reaction, it seems I wasn't that far off when I wrote in my comment to your last Iron Maiden reaction: "I think it is safe to say that Lovebites would make you go absolutely bonkers!" It was a real pleasure to see how much you enjoyed this! If I'm not mistaken, people in the chat during the premiere already managed to get you interested in the live version of "Swan Song" with the preceding Chopin intro which also seems to be one of the most recommended songs in the comments so far, so I hope it will be next. Even then, you would have heard only a minor part of the range of different "old school" metal styles they play. You'd still have to discover e.g. their Thrash Metal-side, their Maiden-ish side, their progressive side, their Hard Rock-side and their balladesque side. (They haven't played Doom Metal yet, though.)

[@Vatvor]

One Lovebites song is enough. There are more and better bands, especially from Japan, that she could analyze.

[@MissLoonasSpeech]

@@Vatvor Pseudo-objective comment. When you say there are better better bands, what you actually mean is bands you like better, which reflects just your personal musical taste. In case you should actually think that there are bands covering exactly the same range of different old school metal styles which Lovebites do, but doing it better, then name them so I can check them out, and also explain why exactly you think they do it better! BTW, I think you should leave it to Elizabeth to decide, if she would like to hear more of Lovebites or not. Imagine someone had recommended a song to you by a band so far unknown to you and you really loved it, and then someone else would say to you: "One song of this band is enough, there are more and better bands you could listen to." How would that sound to your ears?

[@Vatvor]

@@MissLoonasSpeech I didn't tell her not to listen to any more of them, but that an analysis of them is enough so that there is time for other bands. There was more than enough old school metal, there is more interesting stuff. Bands that really do something new.

[@christopherlidster3918]

@@Vatvor Have you thought about not telling her what to do weirdo?

[@Vatvor]

@@christopherlidster3918 That was a suggestion, not an order, you little chief fanboy. Keep scanning the comments for critics and make a fool of yourself there.

[@lianshadowmaker7834]

I really suggest you their ballad side to see how beautiful Asami's voice : Epilogue (strongly recomended) Empty Daydream Edge Of The World A Frozen Serenade

[@CrYou575]

If you fancy something with a classical moment then maybe Swan Song (with the Chopin Intro), from the same concert. Anyway, I'm so glad you got round to hearing this band at last. They have loads of songs, and all are top notch.

[@tarasaurus98]

Oh my gosh, I love Lovebites! They're such an incredible band, I'm glad everyone is getting the chance to see them here!

[@SatryaNouvanda]

nice breakdown on asami's vocal. now i know how hard to do what she did. I think there is a good work of hers in "Set The World On Fire". please breakdown that also.

[@tonygriffin_]

Asami's vocals are always powerful and remind me of Deep Purple's Ian Gillan in their sound. The musical skills of this band are truly outstanding and of the highest level. The guitarist on the right plays a piano beautifully too as well as killing it on guitar.

[@DarthJager100]

Thanks you so much for introducing me to Lovebits, they remind me a lot of one of my favorite bands Dragonforce. Much love!

[@MissLoonasSpeech]

They already toured with them in the UK in 2019. Check out Miyako and Midori performing "Farming Simulator" with Dragonforce as well as the entire band accompanying Dragonforce doing a cover of "My Heart Will Go On" - highly entertaining performances!
