I think their latest mini-album is BEST ever. They are not only talented、but they also train every day.

[@kevinbowland4686]

They never ever miss. Just a phenomenal band.

[@aldomattera2043]

It's one of the most deep and interesting reactions I have ever seen👍 The new EP "Lovebite's EP II" is unbelievable: pure masterful metal music!

LOVEBITES are the GODDESSES OF METAL

[@guynesbitt4585]

I love this band they never let me down, pleae react to frozen serenade it is a complete masterpiece

[@jawosammadennhier7062]

The fast-paced drumming and the vibe of this song strongly remind me of Iron Maiden's "The Loneliness of the long distance runner". 🎶 "Run on and on, run on and on! The loneliness of the long distance runner..." 🎶 🐺 DE/GER

[@kielanuar213]

All master skil musicians & artist in one band. They were united in one ambition, dedicated like born siblings. That's why the beautiful, magical metal music got produced. Respect & salute these ladies+girl. Thanks guys for the great reaction 👍🤘

[@mikenekozukin1405]

[@theohof2204]

I'm not a friend of exaggerations, so I'll keep it sober: Lovebites is today's most versatile (metal-)band by a large margin. These ladies really play in a league of their own and every song is a demonstration of excellence and beauty.

[@alekhidell]

Asami’s vocal cords are forged from chromium plated boiling metal and are powered by four lungs.

[@luisfernandomunoz6315]

LOVEBITES is spoiling us this week. Releasing an EP and live concert video the same day. Some people prefer live videos over music videos. I love both. Wish they make videos for the other 3 tracks on the EP. The latest clip from their live concert is "The Edge of the World " It starts slow but picks up pace turning into a masterpiece. No one has compared this song to any other metal bands. You guys are my favorite reaction duo. Peace and LOVEBITES!!! 🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺

[@marks5451]

Great reaction to an even greater band. ☺☺👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@TJandTheGringa]

Yes they are!

[@gorillack_japan]

Your Japanese is very good! The background behind you is also very Japanese, and I can tell that you are interested in Japan, which I sincerely appreciate!

[@TJandTheGringa]

I love Japan and Japanese culture. I have spent a lot of time in Japan throughout the years and it's probably my favorite place on this planet. Thank you so much for watching us and tuning in we really appreciate you!!

[@christopherrmcarter1809]

Haruna going crazy, Fami hitting it, Midori and Miyako( Guitar Siamese Twins)phenomenal and Asami❤wow. These ladies are incapable of doing a mediocre song. Always absolute top notch.

[@ricdale7813]

Fire!. Literally this band is nothing short of Fire!. Thrash,Melodic and everything in between. Harmonies on top of Harmonies within Harmonies. Wolfpack!

[@tonygriffin_]

I'd tell you that they released another live MV a day or so ago but I know you'll already be on it - and probably recorded a reaction 5 minutes after it was released! Lovebites got your souls from the first time you saw them (SuMetal from Babymetal got my soul back in 2016 {#NotACult 🤘🦊) though she did give it back to me when I found Band-Maid in 2017 and needed to offer it up to Miku. But, soulless as I am now, I still get to worship the Metal Goddesses of Lovebites!

[@TJandTheGringa]

I love SuMetal also. We are in the same boat. I remember the first time I heard Karate years ago I was awestruck! Thanks for always checking in Tony ..We both appreciate you! Always giving us a good laugh ! 🍻

[@tonygriffin_]

@@TJandTheGringa Well, you two are always so positive and happy it only seems fair to try and make you smile. Babymetal were my gateway into Japan's Metal and Rock scenes....and I shut the door on the West behind me when I walked through it! Thouggh I did open it when The Warning came knocking!

Looks like you were digging Midori's Ace Frehley's inspired outfit. Check out the remaining 4 songs on new the EP, the 3 songs that don't have music videos are even better, ironically.

[@clintashcraft579]

Love your reactions because you are so passionate and knowledgeable with your comments!!!!! I could listen to Miyako play all day long, she is so soulful in her playing!!!!! I love Midori too, she is so bad ass, but Miyako just speaks to my soul!!!!! You need to check out (Burden in Time) to see Miyako blow you away even more!!!!!! Thank you for what you do!!!!!

[@marting.h.9417]

Those twin lead guitar solos by Midori and Miyako are already legendary. They’re five of a kind, first with Miho and now with Fami.

[@williamstensoniii2025]

I am so happy you guys finally got to that song, it's often new album EP part 2. It's only five songs but the rest have been released in a video form but without an actual video, it's just a still picture. And all five songs they have once again elevated their sound. Watching you guys grow as a reaction couple over your journey with Love bites has been something special, I have a few other artists I don't think you've ever heard of that will blow you away as well. When you do the reaction for rebel I will put them in the comments, once again KZbin loves you and the Coach always believes in you

[@TJandTheGringa]

Coach we are so happy to have you on our side! Truly appreciate you! Can't wait to see your suggestions and add them to our list! Hope you have a magnificent weekend! 🍻

[@gordonbell8728]

This song was composed by Asami and Mao (GR8 musicians, sometimes called the 6th member of LOVEBITES), and the lyrics are by Asami. Going to see them in Dallas September 8th. Will be flying there from Chicago. Can't wait!!!! I've been following LOVEBITES since I 1st heard them in 2019. Not sure how it's possible but they keep getting better and better!!!! And MORE BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! Of course I fell in Love with Miyako from the gate!!!! At the Dallas show I plan to be right in front of her!!!!! Also LOVEBITES is going to do a live stream of their live show at Tokyo Garden Theater on September 1st. Just FYI. GR8 reaction!!!!!

[@derekfoster9823]

I'll be right there with ya! Flying in from Montana!

Great reaction by Tequila & Jimmy The Gringa❤❤...

[@boyzyu]

Great reaction as usual ! This song is an awesome and innovative blend of speed-power/thrash with a touch of metalcore. The band just dropped their entire new EP "Lovebites EP II" which contains 5 tracks ("Soul Defender" is one of them). It's a really phenomenal EP where all the 5 songs sound very different from one to the other. In addition, they also dropped another LIVE track "Edge of the World" recently from their just released LIVE LP "Memorial for the Warrior Souls"

[@metalmark1214]

Got to hear the remaining 3 songs on the EP on Lovebites website.. Audio only. I actually like those as much or better than this song.

[@boyzyu]

@@metalmark1214 It's just my personal preference and I'll have to agree the 3 audio-only tracks are even better.

[@metalmark1214]

@@boyzyu If this had a much better pre-chorus I would have liked it much more. This one rates not bad but certainly not stellar for me. All of us has their preferences of what songs we like more than others. I've been listening to the three audio tracks now, and like them all. Probably won't see many reactions since many reactors are stuck with the mindset it needs a music video. Most reactors are just out for views anyway Lovebites still my favorite band.

[@boyzyu]

@@metalmark1214 🤘

[@TJandTheGringa]

We love your comments! Thank you so much! We will def be going through every single song by them. To say we are hooked is an understatement!! 🍻

[@JFrancoDrums]

Awesome! On top of how good they all are, their song writing also shows how much they have grown as a band. The melodies and riffs and time changes, key changes etc, really shows how amazing they are. Their brand new EP (where this song and Unchained are from) just released yesterday. There are 3 new tracks but sadly no video. 🤘🐺🔥

[@evilvolts]

On the LOVEBITES channel they have the whole Lovebites II list with all 5 new songs including Unchained and Soul defender.

[@mezacharia]

omg... if you dress up as Midori, you need to post a video of it! 😀

[@TJandTheGringa]

Most Definitely...Dress like Midori for a reaction 😂😂

[@Will-ug5rs]

I think of Miyako as a soulful shredder, while Midori brings the pyrotechnics. They almost overshadow Fami's brilliance.

[@TJandTheGringa]

That statement is spot on brother!

[@obud3777]

Fire 🔥🤘

[@kent-oveprestberg3578]

There's 3 songs on the new EP without mv's that is better than Soul Defender and Unchained.

[@stefanvennberg1661]

You also try LOVEBITES / When Destinies Align Knockin' At Heaven's Gate - Live In Tokyo 2023 or the studio version and you think they could never pull that song off live...but those people dont know this girls

[@alekhidell]

Please find a way to react to the 3 remaining tracks on the EP. No video but they will blow your mind. Totally different.

[@metalmark1214]

Ironically I like the 3 audio tracks more than the 2 they made music videos for.

La verdad es que todas son espectaculares! Muchas gracias por su comentario! 💞

[@susanfitzsimons2384]

Asami and her usual positive message lyrics in a face melting metal offering. Haruna on FIRE....I am actually shocked that her kits isn't incinerated after each show performance. M&M are on the Guitar Rescue Society most wanted posters and Haruna has to be on the Arson watch list...LOL. They are truly gearing up for their short but very significant US tour in September (Atlanta, Dallas, LA and San Fran). I am heart broken they aren't hitting the East Coast more but hopefully next tour. Friends in Brazil and Argentina are beside themselves with disappointment ( but the Earthquake society is happy not have LB driving those crazy crowds nuts ).

[@fongkongyiew4838]

I think u folks missed out a new live video just released about a week ago! Edge of the World.. you will love it because it's the best metal song ever written! I kid you not 🙂

I think you missed the reaction on their best song: "Swan song + Chopin Revolutionary Etude" intro by Miyako on piano (Tokio 2020). Thank You.

[@TJandTheGringa]

It's on our list to check out... Stay tuned!!

[@anderslofgren8235]

In their recent lives Miyako is less stoic and moves more around the stage, which I personally enjoy. I have a feeling her stoicism comes from her years as a classical musician as you really see a symphony orchestra headbanging - though it would be pretty fun to watch 😀 I think shredding is often overrated, especially when it becomes a competion of who can play the most notes in a set time. M&M have a balance which I think some of the best guitar duos of the ages also had - Tipton/Downey, Murray/Smith comes to mind. The ability to pull back when it matters and go ham when it suits makes the true master.

[@TJandTheGringa]

I know exactly what you mean... sometimes less is more on the guitar. Great comment and thank you for watching!

[@フィルコリンズ]

Your Japanese is very good. The names Miyako, Midori, and Haruna are also good. By the way, the accent of these three people's pronunciation is the same as that of "video". Fami is pronounced with the same accent as "Funny." Asami uses the same accent when saying "really?"

[@rolandkarlsson7072]

This is a more western song. Could have been made in the US. As usual, very skilled and good. But, not my favorite. Not something I dislike either. Perfectly fine, or actually better than fine.

[@rainerzufall42]

It didn't get me at first listening, I didn't care much. But after hearing it several times, it's a really good song, and a fast one! "Unchained" was and extreme grower, and for "Who's Identity", I thought, it was too chaotic and strange, but same thing here, it's a pure thrash gem. "The Bell In The Jail" sounded interesting, and I was immediately hooked. And "Someone's dream" is another masterpiece. With some growing, that EP should sound more familiar!

[@sondebueu]

Jimmy, you love THRASH METAL from lovebites... THEN, you MUST react to their new EP song ""Where's identity".. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGPQmnuIZ76qipI (hope you can see the OFFICIAL playlist / audio only video. - on lovebites channel -> Launchs -> Lovebites 2.0 EP playlist And react to songs 4th and 5th too )

[@rainerzufall42]

I think, "Where's Identity" (Edit: Thanks for correcting the title!) has a slightly different meaning, but I don't know which one yet.
