[@ericsaari2901]

I can't believe they exist. i have seen them twice, talked to them in person 3 times, watched countless performances and reactions on YT, and every time I see them, I can't believe they exist - and are this good! Words can't even express.

[@hiawatha.g]

I think you have expressed it perfectly. It doesn't seem possible they are real. I met them at the show in San Francisco, and it's like they glow with some kind of inner force. It's crazy.

[@drummersakura]

Listening to the piano outro of this song always gives me goosebumps and tears. I think it's not because of the instrument change for the sake of a gimmick, but because I'm witnessing something perfect and unbelievable: "This is the only thing at the end of this song." Chopin would have given a standing ovation in heaven.

[@philippecazeneuve4312]

Good reaction. Asami is a great singer. I attended the concert on December 15, she sang in totally different styles with incredible ease.

[@raybl9295]

Regarding Asami’s singing posture, The vocal coach, The Charismatic Voice has an excellent reaction analysis on their song Holy War specifically discussed about her throat positioning. Elizabeth was more than impressed.

[@1970Phoenix]

This song is a masterpiece.

[@cchloc]

I saw another reactor (vocal teacher I think) said that ASAMI has Soprano voice and she doesn't use falsettos but her natural voice. You can see her singing high pitch notes in "Soldier Stand Solitarily" in the LOVEBITES's Official Channel.

[@13uomini]

Asami is Mezzo Soprano, not Soprano

[@michaelafrancis1361]

Just to put the record straight... that isn't actually a baby grand piano. It's a Roland electric piano dressed up to look like a baby grand. This concert, I believe, was the first time Miyako had played this piano and she spoke later of how difficult it was to adjust to it and how nervous she'd been attempting this difficult etude on it live. p.s... No that's the old bass player Miho.

[@raybl9295]

I imagine it would be too cumbersome to transport an actual acoustical grand or baby grand piano to the various concert venues due to the fragility and constant re-tuning required to keep the instrument in top condition.

[@michaelafrancis1361]

@@raybl9295 You're probably right although on the live DVD on the Heavy Metal Never Dies tour Miyako did have a genuine miked up grand piano. I saw Lovebites in England twice last summer and one of the only things I regretted was that the band, having to travel with the minimum of equipment, had no keyboards with them so all the songs requiring keys, including "Swan Song" were dropped from the set list. Miyako even had to limit herself to one guitar instead of the six or seven she habitually carries on any Japanese tour.

[@raybl9295]

@@michaelafrancis1361 I was at the Garage show in London as well. It was well worth the traveling for me. I'm from NY as I didn't know they were planning shows in the US when they announced their Europe tour. That last tour was bare essential LB with no technical support. Miyako was doing all the sound check and they even had fans helped moving equipment from show to show. Despite that, the concert was amazing. To be able to watch Miyako and Asami performed from 10 ft away made it totally memorable. It was probably my last chance to see them so close.

[@boyzyu]

Miyako (lead guitarist/pianist at stage left) is a generational talent who is a virtuoso on BOTH the guitar and piano. She has been classically-trained on the piano since the age of 3. Miyako also composed & arranged "Swan Song" and this track is a neoclassical metal masterpiece. Throughout the song, you can hear motifs from Romantic-era composers Chopin (intro, main riff, solo) and Dvořák (Chorus). Miyako's piano intro is Chopin's "Étude Op. 10, No. 12 in C minor", aka the "Revolutionary Étude". BTW, it's still the previous bassist, Miho, in this video. The new bassist, Fami, joined the band in 2022. Asami (lead vocalist) is a mezzo-soprano who can easily drop down to the lower range of an alto when necessary.

[@Remek58R]

The key change at the start of the last chorus is really back to the original key (compare with the previous chorus before the bridge). The composer (Miyako) is sneaky that way - when her solo in the bridge starts she drops to a lower key and it continues til the final chorus begins.

LOVEBITES - Swan Song lyrics & credits: If this was the last day you could live on this earth Would you still go on, accusing someone for today It’s better to fail than not do anything at all It is not the length, but depth of life that counts Oh brave soldier Oh gallant warrior Valor to those who died in battle to Valhalla Believe what’s in your soul For death will come to all You shall rest peacefully in God’s Heaven Floating lotus You are so graceful Saintly and glorious Till the end of time Floating lotus You are so beautiful Sing me your sweet song The legend of the swan If you’ve never hoped, you’ve never been through despair Ignorance is bliss, it’s easier to never care You might think it’s meaningless to sacrifice a life Sometimes the life of one can save so many more Oh brave soldier Oh gallant warrior Valor to those who died in battle to Valhalla Believe what’s in your soul For death will come to all You shall rest peacefully in God’s Heaven Floating lotus You are so graceful Saintly and glorious Till the end of time Floating lotus You are so beautiful Sing me your sweet song The legend of the swan SOLO: miyako / both Floating lotus You are so graceful Saintly and glorious Till the end of time Floating lotus You are so beautiful Sing me your sweet song The legend of the swan SOLO: midori [guitar] / miyako [piano] ----- lyrics: asami music: miyako arrangement: miyako & LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) album: Electric Pentagram 01/29/2020 ---

[@HowardGraves-e4k]

Lovebites makes me me feel safe, but they also put me in a very very good mood just knowing that musicians such as they are actually exist in the same moment in time as I do. We are so fortunate to have them....and this song moves me every time I hear it. It is magical. "SSS" is on a another level musically, but "Swan Song" is far and away the most beautiful piece of music I've ever hear (Well, not including Tchaikovsky of course.)

[@obud3777]

For "Swan Song", Miyako used two of her favorite classics: Chopin's "Revolutionary Etude" and Dvorak's "New World Symphony" 🤘

[@kitsmcgee5463]

Miho is the bass in this performance. You will know when you see Fami. She is almost always smiling. Definitely living her best life! 🙂

[@HowardGraves-e4k]

The bending, and the 'in unison' note at 15:58, at that tempo, is beyond my ability to believe.

[@stephenlu7779]

The last chorus when it came in, it returned to the same key as previous chorus. The previous key change was going into the guitar instrumental. Another song suggestion is Dystopia Symphony. No recorded live performance on the song, just the studio album version. Miyako incorporates a couple of Beethoven's composition melodies into the song, just played at a blistering speed. It was a song dedicated to Beethoven.

[@bigg2988]

13:25 Asami comes from a R&B background, like I' m sure people have already pointed out... She hardly, if ever, goes into the head voice at all. Her incredible power is within that chest, to the extent where she is apparently more comfortable belting all of it, as high as the notes may come. Truly rare, I think, because it is natural to go over into head voice as one gets higher. P. .S: Together with "Glory to the World", which you already saw, this is probably among their songs where the vocal lines are consistently high, and reach up from there. In others, the thrashers, the more groovy or rocking songs, Asami uses her powerful mid- to-low range a lot, and to great effect!

[@marting.h.9417]

Yes, these women are just beyond belief. Again, their main influences are the great metal bands of the past but they have been developing their own and unique style. Miyako embeds her classical training into their metal stuff and it is an outstanding plus. Somebody commented that Miyako might not be the best guitar player and might not be the best pianist but her level at mastering those two instruments is just outstanding and probably unmatched. Another excellent track is “Dystopia symphony” (only audio); another masterpiece composed by Miyako that is based on Beethoven’s “moonlight sonata”.

[@beldin2987]

Btw.: the white piano wasn't even a "real" piano, it was an electronic one and Miyako told in a video on her channel that she didn't really liked the way it "felt" .. so she was even kinda like a bit handicapped when playing this.

[@realdocloco]

Roland digital piano indeed and yes she doesn't like its feel (she's used to "real" pianos and has one at home). But of course digital piano is much more convenient on stage, and much easier to mix in a band context.

[@MrDportjoe]

@@realdocloco The digital piano is a godsend to techs and roadies everywhere. If you have also watched Thje Warning Live form Pepsi center you will note that is what Pau played during her two solo spots just before Enter Sandman. Oh and as an old theatre kid getting two baby grands off stage between end of overture and full curtain up on a production of No No Nanette nearly killed the back stage crew every night (so glad I was out front riding the sound board while my younger brother was busting ass on that move).

[@metalmark1214]

You can see why this song is requested so frequently. Miyako a great pianist and composer that knows how to intertwine classical with metal just perfectly. She does go from guitar to piano quickly but in Frozen Serenade she goes from piano to guitar even faster in which you didn't make mention of in your reaction. This is the former bassist Miho and not the present bassist Fami. Glad you had the lyrics up and I know you mainly focus on the vocals and instruments but the lyrics in the song are rather deep. Recommend Edge of the World live 2020 next.

[@bigg2988]

In "Frozen Serenade" it is literally 2-3 seconds from the moment lights go out on the piano to the point where the riff starts. 😵😍

[@metalmark1214]

@bigg2988 Yes, on Frozen Serenade it is amazing the short time frame from Miyako on piano to her playing guitar. It's like she had the pick taped to the guitar 🤔

Nice observation about Miyako's choice of holding a guitar :D Unfortunately, she started to wear pants lately, so no more breathtaking underwear solos :) I think one of the best songs to judge Asami's range is Edge of the World. She holds a really long note at the beginning. Actually, all 3 of holy E trinity (Empty Daydream, Edge of the World and Epilogue) are very good, they are like ballads (at least, partially). Frozen Serenade is also worth listening.

[@etiosooopse5618]

I have 3 recommendations for you, all by Lovebites. One is a ballad called "Epilogue" (live version ofc), where you can hear little different side of Asami's voice, second is "Soldier Stand Solitarly" (live version ofc) where she's throwing some serious high notes and 3rd "Thunder Vengence" (live, always live ;)) where she's using a lot of low notes.

[@anthonypowell6234]

To hear Asami improve the vocal to near perfection on this song, (better English pronunciation, and note rolls in the chorus delivery more closely mirroring the excellent studio version) see their official video from 2023. It's the one most people recommend against because the piano intro is not included, and the instrument mix isn't as good, but vocally it is a thing of beauty. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHyVYparfpKJbcU

[@susanfitzsimons2384]

Miyako put out a LP of 6 metal songs she converted to piano classic pieces which is stunning. Try Helloween's Eagle Fly Free on a stunning piano you will really enjoy.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5mWc3-IqJWLqJY Miyako is a musical savant but her genius would be wasted without her insanely talented band-mates who can play her creations especially LIVE. This band will always surprise and NEVER disappoint. They bring class, humble personalities, love of their music, and devotion to one another and their fanbase (Wolfpack). Miyako can construct anything in her head and is often doing it while performing I bet. She is a Star Wars fanatic, a gear nerd, and off stage she is a riot to be around and her real personality shines (check her YT channel for all of that). Asami on vocals really brings her ballet training to bear during this song in her movements.

[@ericsaari2901]

Vocally, you might enjoy Liar kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4irgZmkf99lp80 It's a song Miyako wrote for her previous band. In it, Asami has an A capella section, uses some falsetto, and there's a key change (which is beautiful). Very melodic solo and Asami's vocals are great, but I don't think you get her full range. It's hard to find one song where she does everything that she can.

[@moonrose5944]

Actually, Miyako explains in one of her own videos that she was dissatisfied with this Roland as it had platic keys. Her own Yamaha was gifted from her parents and she paid herself to have the keys upgraded to ivory. Nittpicking much? 😅

[@rainerzufall42]

Wasn't it that Miyako had an issue with playing too fast so that those "plastic keys" couldn't flip back fast enough? I still prefer this outro to that one in 2023... which she said was more like she planned to do it...

@rainerzufall42 I believe she didn't liked the "feel" of the plastic keys? She is known to be quite picky on her equipment.

[@gillesmurat7362]

Hi from France: I have been a die-hard LOVEBITES fan since 2018 and I love this band, its compositions, its stage performances, the virtuosity displayed by each of the members, their interaction on stage and of course their charisma. But, there is always a but... I was born at the same time as rock in the US (yes, I am not very young in life anymore, except for this music) and I fell into it at the age of 6 and, for me, on stage, rock must be able to leave a little room for madness and improvisation. However, LOVEBITES uses Backing-tracks for each piece played live, which gives magnificent musical atmospheres and colors, but confines them to a playing rigor that does not allow them to stray from the axis line of the piece played (like Band Maid or Nemophila or Asterism...). A bit like classical concert performers who express their artistic feelings on subtleties that have nothing to do with the world of rock. See "Honkai (本懐) | Spin Off" or "Hate? live" by Band Maid to understand what I mean. Reading the 5 DVDs and their various streaming, their concerts, this is the observation that we can make, this side a little too orchestrated and rigorous. It's just my feeling. However, these musicians are real virtuosos very pleasant to listen to and see and I never get tired of them, certainly one of the best things that happened to the world of rock in the last thirty years (with bands like Band Maid, Nemophila and many others mainly coming from Japan). And Midori (blond hairs and ESP guitar) is definitely part of my top three guitarists in the history of rock...

I assume it has already been explained below that this performance was before Miho (co-founder and original bassist of Lovebites) retired, because no bassist carries her instrument as cool and deep as Miho does! She is a fantastic bassist and I admit, I miss her in Lovebites - but the "young blood" Fami represents a young type of bassist and is also a fantastic bassist in her playing and, incidentally, has raised the average height of Lovebites. 😜 Now Miyako is no longer the undisputed tallest in the band in terms of height (on a, admittedly, low level - for all the "long noses" in the world). Lovebites stands for me as such a fascinating, incredibly good metal band in our world, that I am currently having a hard time finding comparable class in the modern music world.

Asami's voice is unique and amazing. There is also a singer with a singing monster called Mari Hamada in Japan. Try searching for Mari Hamada when you have time😁

[@Metallic_Gaijin_Hu]

Mari Hamada is godlike...she has insane vocal skills

[@DocOfRock-p4j]

i think that the highest note i have heard asami to go up to is the final one she hits in the mv for 'when destinies align'. she goes high in 'holy war ' and 'set the world on fire' but i think this one is higher : kzbin.info/www/bejne/nn2plp9_bpiJoa8

[@grieverproductions2022]

@@galaxyheavymetal5292 nah not at all. Mostly contemporary and classical actually although there are a couple of rock singers in the mix 😊

Vampires? Castlevania? Dude you should check out their song Wind of Transylvania - live at Tokyo Dome City Hall 2021 kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5XCoqKmas9kmNU

Speaking of piano players check out Yuja Wang and Khatia Buniatishvili. Although there is no vocals Yuja especially shows incredible power and speed for someone so tiny.

Stop! Imagine that words cost money. Now speak 🙂

New sub here! Please try "Lost in the Garden" with Miyako's piano intro: La Campanella, from Franz Liszt: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpezeHeMrZiXZ5Y In this video you see the new bassist Fami, always with a smile on her face! Enjoy

[@katafalkk]

Otherwise... apart from your “mistake” at the beginning... good reaction... even if most commentators, pianists included, will “never” point out the indecisions/hesitations of Miyako's left hand... she knew it and had said so... pointing out this piano that had been “imposed” on her and that didn't suit her...

[@MetalDrummer-y4l]

Demetrius Katafalque ?

[@katafalkk]

You know what...? a thumbs down for starting the video almost in the middle of the intro... a little respect, please, for Miyako...

[@grieverproductions2022]

Are you saying there was more to the intro? That's all this video had 🤔🤔

​@@grieverproductions2022 No. I played the song linked in your description (from "Sayonakidori") and it is not the one you watch in your video (from "Harry Vethkov Maffiosov") AND you did skip the first part of the Chopin piece Miyako plays. The video you watched starts with silence, darkness & silence, as does the one linked in your description. Please give attention to details with LOVEBITES. Make sure the time-line is all the way back at the very start of the video, and watch to where the video ends. Also, note the error in the embedded subtitles of the video you watched, as also stated by ChadTheDragonLord, The subtitles are incorrect - The one line should be "It is not the LENGTH [not "worth"], but depth of life that counts." Here is the comment I left on your "Glory To The World" reaction, > "Your comment about "grainy" video for "A Frozen Serenade" urged me to share these links. Optional links that are 1080p with [cc] lyrics for "A Frozen Serenade" LIVE 2021: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXbNf2qads1npc0 "Swan Song" w/Chopin intro LIVE 2020: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXPLpaSdnr14d5Y The other links offered are 720p with errors in embedded lyrics. This is simply in the interest of people viewing the highest quality video and accurate lyric subtitles. These are not my uploads, they are just the ones that are best quality." > a comment you 'liked' and replied to with "Thanks for these! I will have a look 😊" yet you ignored what I wrote. I attempted to assist you in avoiding the 'wrong lyric'. Honestly, I did not watch this video beyond seeing you CUT the start of Miyako's Chopin performance. I skipped forward to check which video you actually watch in your reaction. I am disappointed in your carelessness (cutting start) and having ignored/forgotten/not-cared about my comment that you 'liked' and replied to, but not actually 'having a look'. Your reply to this comment (or lack of a reply) will determine if I bother with your future LOVEBITES reactions, as I am sure you understand considering your lack of attention & respect for the artist & fans with how you begin (not at the start) with this one. The links in my 'copied comment' are legit. High quality, no errors in [cc]. Will it be worth my time to share info & links to the highest quality videos with you? At this time, I expect not. This into & links are for your benefit, to the benefit of your channel, if not ignored. dreg👁
