Lovebites Soldier Stands Solitary REACTION by Songs and Thongs

[@ahodori-dl5hz]

On the second floor of the concert hall was Nuno Bettencourt, who was visiting Japan. He was so impressed by LOVEBITES' two-hour, 19-song performance that he could hardly contain his excitement. Nuno decided to change his plans and wait for them in the waiting room after the performance to give them a hug of praise.

[@rainerzufall42]

That story makes me like Nuno even more, and being Midori's guitar hero, I'm sure, she was very happy that he stayed! IIRC, (some of) LOVEBITES was on an Extreme concert in Tokyo before, so they've invited him to the show!

[@ericifune5543]

She was literally holding her heart when he told them how great they are.

[@otobokegaijin6218]

I was at the Extreme and LB concerts. They were both held at Hitomi Memorial Hall. Didn't notice Miyako at the Extreme show but became aware of Nuno's presence at the LB show after word spread thru part of the crowd. (He was initially spotted outside the theater.) Miyako had never played the hall, whose acoustics were designed for classical symphonic orchestral music, so she went to the Extreme show not only to see/hear the band but also to check out the acoustics in prep for LB's show. She went backstage and invited Nuno to LB's concert.

[@愚愚-q2k]

Mr Songs とMs Thongsの会話の中で特に印象的だったのは、Edge of the World Reactionの中で 10,30から語られている内容です。 彼らは音楽の話をしているのですが、同時に彼らは人生の話をしています。 私は楽器はできません。歌をうまく歌うこともできません。 だけれどもそこで語られていることは私にとっても大事なことです。 彼らの音楽を聴くときの意識の集中密度、彼らの素直な反応、彼らのコメント。 それらに感謝しています🎉

[@lanzlg4667]

About 30 ago I read an article about japanese parents who compel their little 2 or 3 year old children to play piano or violin. In that time I thouth OMG who crazzy are the japanese people, what are they doing with their children!? Now that I saw this amazing band live I understand. This musicianship is the effort of years of training! Never saw a Band playing music on that Level. Even their studioversions are amazing but their live performance is even better. Lovebites - best Heavy Metal band on the planet today.

[@athlonen]

If you’re talking 30 years ago, also consider this: what were we doing in the US at that time? Grunge. We all should now see who/what dropped that ball.

[@rainerzufall42]

If we are talking about 1994, Miyako was already 4yo with a whole year of experience at the piano! So that article was almost precisely about Miyako!

[@otobokegaijin6218]

Piano is far more common than violin nowadays, and many Japanese guitarists, vocalists, et al., can play piano well. To give an example from another band, Nemophila: Hazuki, Tamu, and (ex member) Saki have all said that the first time they played an instrument before a live audience was at recitals organized by their piano instructors.

[@tonym480]

I went to both the gigs Lovebites played in London last summer, and whilst all the band were brilliant, for me the star was Haruna. At the second gig, at The Garage, I had a good view of her across the stage behind Miyako. I watched her in awe, she is amongst the best drummers I've seen. Her speed and power is unreal for such a tiny Lady, the double kick bass has to be heard live to be fully appreciated. This is one of the songs they played that evening. 🥁 Little BIG Engine 🥁 🐺

[@jawosammadennhier7062]

I absolutely understand you. *With all due respect* let me _add_ : Five _brilliant_ characters, five hearts of gold, five incredible ladies with remarkable stories, to change our lives to the better. LOVEBITES and their example and songs are badly needed.

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

Lovebites has improved their stage presence tremendously. Ever since Fami joined they are having fun on stage again. This is absolutely my most favorite Lovebites song. You can see why.

[@SomethingToDo360]

“Ever since Fami joined” I agree with this. Although the channel suggested “musicians feed off of the crowd” seemingly as an explanation for why the band appears happier now, they’ve been this way since Fami joined them. Her happiness being contagious, as a far more likely explanation than the crowd.

[@rainerzufall42]

Agree on improved stage performance, but "feeding off of the crowd" was a LOVEBITES thing long before Fami joined. Fami gave LOVEBITES back, what they already had, just watch some earlier recordings! Glad, that Fami revived the fun!

[@SomethingToDo360]

@@rainerzufall42 “Fami gave Lovebites back, what they already had” Some people get uncomfortable when reading a comment saying things have improved in some way. Apparently, the reactors themselves are noticing a change in happiness too. Now given all the newer live performances we have seen so far, I would have thought it impossible to think Fami didn’t add anything EXTRA to the overall happiness level, for even if her happiness is not itself contagious, her own overly-happy personality is itself something different than the typical IMO (hence something extra).

[@rainerzufall42]

@@SomethingToDo360 That's a long text to convinve me of a thing, that I already wrote: "They have improved a lot (technically)". But my thesis still stands: They soaked energy from their audience and gave it back to them even before "Judgement Day", just watch some recordings or interviews of that time! They've explicitly said that! After Covid-19 and some disrupted plans, they had to find some fun back, and first the search for Fami and then the integration of Fami, now the development of Fami, was the best that could happen!

[@SomethingToDo360]

@@rainerzufall42 “They soaked energy from the audience” I’m saying that in itself, doesn’t explain their newfound happiness. I’m also saying Fami’s extra-happy personality would itself be something extra; that she adds some degree to their overall happiness as a group, be it contagious or not. I think this opinion is entirely reasonable.

[@bradchambers2354]

went to their show in san fran they are into it and lots of energy I left with just a awestruck feeling of the quality of the show. Even Miyako was throwing that hair around and Fami just smiles and interacts all the show

[@gordonnottsfinest180]

195bpm of pure virtuoso musical genius, and the last song of a 2 hour set before the encore, the stamina of the ladies is, as always, quite astonishing, especially The Little Big Engine Haruna. Another masterpiece to add to their collection. Great reaction, and you're not the first guitarist to be blown away by Haruna lol, she's such a special talent and an intricate part of this band of virtuoso musicians, Asami is, imo, the only singer for a band this good, she is The One and Only Voice of lovebites metal 🔥🤘🎤🥁🎹🎸🐺

[@rainerzufall42]

Totally agree, but there was still the Encore after this. But the point stands, it was track 17 (of 21), with 3 more songs and the closing instrumental as an Encore after a short break!

[@gordonnottsfinest180]

Yes, I did say before the encore. 17 songs in, and then this. It still baffles me how good they are, no matter how many times I hear and see them. 🤘🐺🇬🇧

[@raduadi]

we all know that Lovebites is just one fucking amazing band. this song is composed by Miyako, lyrics by Asami. With Fami Lovebites is on another level. simply amazing. i love them so much

I've seen them live in June 18th in Lindau, Germany. SSS ist just fantastic. Unforgetable!

[@rainerzufall42]

I've seen them live ar the show before Lindau (at June 15th). They didn't play SSS in their first show in London, but when I heard the sound check in Belgium, it was clear, that they would play it live for the first time in Europe, and I was so happy about that! "My Orion" is great, but SSS is fire!

[@martinpadilla8770]

The reality is that there is no other band to compare them with. Lovebites is unique and that's what attracts people. Little by little his fandom continues to increase. The great talent that these ladies have is from another world. Asami has my respect, she is a great singer with a powerful and melodic operatic voice. The two guitarists, Midori and Miyako, are truly impressive with solos that remain imprinted in the memory. Haruna has a stamina on the drums that is not common these days, Fami is the bassist that lovebites needed, I hope he contributes more to the songs that are to come in the future. Special mention: Thanks to Rosana Miho for having that vision of creating this band, you left a big void when you decided to leave the band, but you are still missed and we love you very much. Wolfpack will always be with you.

[@paulread4886]

Isn't this a Miho song ?

[@theohof2204]

No doubt, there's is a lot of great metal music. But with Lovebites joie de vivre, gravitas and beauty were added to the genre. These brilliant ladies love every nanosecond of what they are doing. Nothing but positive vibrations on the stage - and that everywhere and always. Now, before I forget: what a mighty, mighty song again - in my opinion one of their best.

This has gradually become one of my favorite songs by them. One thing I would like to give them a lot of credit for. Since they have been touring recently, I have noticed that only in Japan do they play in large venues. Understandable. But it must be so hard going from a venue like this one in this video then playing in a place thats not much bigger than your local bar. Then bringing the same fun and enthusiasm and professionalism to the performance. I can't even imagine how tough this would be.

This was (IIRC) 2008 seats, TGT had 8000 with some 10% missing because of the typhoon, and I saw them in a sold out venue in very rural Belgium with some 300 to 350 fans, so that it felt close even from the back row!

Welcome back to Lovebites ! SSS is 195 bpm of pure awesomeness composed & arranged by Miyako. This clip is from their latest LIVE album "Memorial for the Warrior Souls", which was derived from the Tokyo leg of the band's "Judgement Day" tour held last year. Lovebites also dropped 3 other LIVE videos "We are the Resurrection", "Rising", and "Edge of the World" from this LIVE LP. Yes, this was the last song on their main set, then followed by an encore with 3 tracks.

That song is impossibly well written and composed, and they perform it so well here. It’s mindblowing. Saw them twice live recently and it’s deceptive on live videos. In person, someone is always interacting with the crowd, and Asami typically is as well. Just not seeing everything that’s going on when the camera for videos is typically focusing on who is playing a key thing in the moment. Fami though certainly brings a renewed energy and her presence has lifted them a bit, when you perhaps thought it was impossible that they could get any better. I do miss Miho, her writing and voice, headbanging, some darker presence, but Fami is such a great fit that she naturally belongs, and it’s hard now to imagine her not being there.

Have you guys done KOIAI- A New Picture? Lisa X, Hazuki of Nemo and Kanade Saneda. Bassist is from Marty Freedman band. Another excellent choice would be Hagane - Five Swords under Heaven, imo. 😊😊😊

Junna - now the drummer of Hagane - is a burning fireball on the drums. Her energy and technical perfection reminds me a lot of Haruna and her enthusiasm of Jukka, the former drummer of Nightwish.

Song is great example of BAROQUE (1600-1750) music sound (composition) in Modern Times with modern instruments.
