COUPLE React to LOVEBITES - When Destinies Align | OFFICE BLOKE DAVE 

This is my favorite band, hands down. They are among the best out there today. They are even better live.

Thank you for coming back to Lovebites and sharing them with your lady. Since this song came out, a huge amount has happened to them. They lost their founder and bassist, who left during the pandemic. Two of them got married and had babies. They couldn't perform live for two years. They recruited a new bassist after a worldwide audition process. And they recently re-emerged with a vengeance, and an album and a concert DVD. They have leveled up technically, which would have seemed impossible. You should check out their three recent posted clips from the concert: Hammer of Wrath, Judgement Day, and Nameless Warrior. But have an ambulance ready, you might need it.

Great reaction ! Just a note that Lovebites isn't just a power metal band. The ladies play a seamless and innovative blend of speed-power/thrash/prog/neoclassical metal/heavy rock/power ballads which makes their sound very unique. An example of a thrash song by them is the LIVE version of "The Hammer of Wrath" which you have already reacted to.

She needs to see how awesome they are live now :)

Bitten, she is! Fully Devoured, I am. LOVEBITES is really affecting my time management and brain-space management.

Great reaction both of you. Dave, I'm glad you introduced Ash to Lovebites. More Lovebites live versions please.

They say that they play heavy metal, and yes power metal is there, but not only this genre, you will see one of the best thrash metal songs with Lovebites too and some others styles like hard rock and prog...

The live version of this song is much more amazing. Imaging twin solos on stage.. check it out 👍👍🤘

Way late to the party here but I just wanted to say how much I love watching women and/or girls react to Lovebites. It's like Lord of the Rings when Éowyn takes off her helm, says, "I am no man" and slays the Witch King. The "We kick ass" vibe is great to see as the smiles spread across their face. Then the even bigger smile as Miyako and Midori slide into a solo. Girls Rock! 🤘😎🤘

Now you need to show her some of their live performances. 😁They do have some thrashier songs as well. I own all but one of their live DVDs. I also love Nemophila, Band-Maid, Hanabie, Gacharic Spin, and many more. SO many good bands.

LOVEBITES PERFECT METAL BAND🤘🏻🔥🐺THE BEST‼️

He is obviously totally enthusiastic regarding her hair color! That's nice :) Lovebites is totally amazing. They have made some touring 2023 and have very good videos from those concerts. A hint, show her them guy! And look at them yourself. They are good.

LOVEBITES - When Destinies Align lyrics: It is not just some coincidence It is nothing like reality It is something very precious that not everyone can get It is like a dream, a turn of fate It is what the each of us can bring It’s a chemical reaction, only possible by these pieces Why must someone get in our way？We won’t let them We can go cause we believe Why must someone put out the light deep inside our hearts Can you see？We can create a miracle Open your eyes, we’ll make a new future All of our hopes are in these hands Like a bird flying into a world we don’t know We will always be together Carry on, carry on This is us, carry on It is failure that has brought us here It is made of our blood and tears It is something very strong that keeps us moving on and on It is love, ambition, destiny It is why we’ve been through everything It is what becomes the reason, shining bright into tomorrow Why must someone get in our way？We won’t let them We can go cause we believe Why must someone put out the light deep inside our hearts Can you see？We can create a miracle Open your eyes, we’ll make a new future All of our hopes are in these hands Like a bird flying into a world we don’t know We will always be together Carry on, carry on This is us, carry on Open your eyes, we’ll make a new future All of our hopes are in these hands Like a bird flying into a world we don’t know We will always be together Open your eyes, we’ll make a new future All of our hopes are in these hands Like a bird flying into a world we don’t know We will always be together Carry on, carry on This is us, carry on ----- lyrics: asami music: miyako arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) album: Electric Pentagram 01/29/2020

If you like anime, Lovebites did a song called Winds of Transylvania for an anime called Vlad Love. Pure thrash

Thanks for coming back to Lovebites and supporting the ladies.....and now it's time to let Ash see them LIVE. Any of the last three Live releases would be awesome! Cheers for the journey!🤘

She was blown away just the way I was. This is the song that introduced me to Lovebites and, like you, I immediately noticed the phenomenal level of talent across the board with Lovebites - every member. They are the best band in their genre, bar none. I hope you show her more, like maybe some of their new live videos with their new bass player. Hanabie isn't really that much heavier than Lovebites when you consider Hanabie has a distinct pop sound to their music. Lovebites is pure heavy metal through and through - no pop, just heavy riffs, double kick drums, powerful vocals, and blistering guitar solos. If you like harsh vocals then I can see why. But for me, I can't stand harsh vocals if used frequently in a song. A little bit is OK, but too much and it grates on your ears.

And live it's better!

🤘🏽LOVEBITES RULES🤘🏽

great song but you really got to do the live version!!!!

Aldious: intro song "Spirit Black" Rie A.K.A. Suzaku: intro somg"Dreaming Eyes" Unlucky Morpheus:intro song "Black Pentagram" Want a Japanese all female version of Van Halen? Show-Ya:intro song " Trouble"

Asami's accent is not that thick, it is the unusual lyric cadence they are using in their songs

Thank you for your reaction to LOVEBITES. It helps that you have a good understanding of LOVEBITES. The music video caused controversy around the world for a while. The question is, can the girls really perform this song live? A video of their live performance has been uploaded to RU-vid. Please continue to let your fans know about LOVEBITES on your channel.

Thanks for the great video 😁 and since you asked, I would like to see more Nemophila reactions as well

I would recommend watching Shambles by Band-Maid.

The new bassist Fami has a white streak dyed into her black hair ]:)

Welcome to the Wolfpack to your Mrs. You have been Lovebitten ]:P

More reactions of ASH to Lovevites, Nemophila, Mary's Blood, Unluchky Morpheus, Gacharic Spin, Aldius, Bridear.... etc. PLEASE Waiting for next!!

Waiting for Hanabie! 'Broken By The Scream' is another all female Japanese metalcore band worth checking out 😈🔥

Love this song, LoveBites rules!!!🎸🎤🔥❤️

Yes, English is difficult for us. Next time, please watch the live show! 🤘💥

🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺💪🤘🤘🤘🤘 K=KOREAN J=JAPAN definitely 2 different styles

When it comes to all female J-metal/rock, you have the "big three" with Band-Maid, Lovebites, and Nemophila. The last one changes out from fan to fan because Nemophila didn't start til 2019 but has three members that were big names in the scene long before the band. There are lots of bands also making the push internationally like Hanabie, who is currently touring the US after wrapping up a sold-out EU tour.

I am coming to you from Japan. It sounds like you are singing completely in English to the Japanese senses, whose English ability is low on average, but it seems to be difficult for people overseas to hear you! Other bands often interweave Japanese lyrics in order to preserve a Japanese flavor, but LOVEBITES is unique in that all lyrics are basically in English.

Midori and Miyako are one of the best lead guitar duo’s in Metal music today.

Great reaction you two.. Great to see your lady with you Dave.. Do more Lovebites.. They are good for the soul. Here are a few more for you both.. Aldious, the pioneers of the all female Japanese Rock and Metal scene.; Do Reincarnation or Sweet temptation Hagane, Super villan and soul beats Trident, Ambivilant and Spoopy Gacharic spin, (Your lady will love these ladies) Mindset MV and Tamashi live Nemophila, Revive MV and Monsters live Looking forward to more from you, best wishes from France..

Pigeon holing a band in a particular genre and classifying it as J-rock to my mind is a lack of understanding of what they hear. Yes, Lovebites have taken an earlier genre from the New Wave of British heavy metal ( NWoBHM) and put their own spin on it. However, this upsurge in metal from Japan is not a new concept. The same thing happened in the UK at the start of 80's with bands like Judas Priest and Iron Maiden, etc. Lovebites are the epitome of that era. Vocally screaming style metal is not my thing, but I make exceptions for two Ukrainian bands, Jinjer and Ignea! Lovebites are in my mind the Holy Grail of speed/power metal. No other band comes close at the moment! If you are looking for anime, try " Winds of Transylvania " MV as it is used for the anime vampire series " Vlad blood". Great reaction 🤟😎

Welcome to the world of Female J Metal. I hope you check out Aldious, they are original founders of the modern all Female Japanese metal bands. And in Japan are the second most popular Female metal band after Show Ya which came out in the 1980s. Aldious started in 2008 and had a few excellent singers. They have absolutely no bad songs. I recommend checking out Suicide live for a very bass guitar heavy metal song.

HARUNA !!! HARUNA !!! HARUNA !!! 🤘🐺🤘

Now that's how you make a metal song in the age of IG and Twitter, where being a mediocre or untalented other unskilled doesn't matter as long as you are viral.

I love Lovebites. I love this song... Um... I love all their songs. And live videos even cooler. Thank you for your reaction. More Lovebites on the channel.

The lovely Miho Rosana, the former bass guitarist who was in the band at this time, often does have two colors in her hair, one for the top layers and one for the underneath. I can't speak for her color(s) in this video, but on her Instagram she'll often post clear shots of both colors. It's always professionally done.

I don't really jive with the whole j rock thing, just not my style of music but Lovebites and Band-Maid are f'ing amazing.

Miho Miho Miho!

It's great that Ash loved them!!! You can't go wrong with any of their official live stuff, it really showcases the insane talent of these ladies!

If you're doing more, try the live. Less synth and they're still as good technically. And the singer has the audience in her hands.

good reaction. they play metal, that makes you happy and smile.

About the culture of female JRock bands. Saw a short documentary of a female fronted metal band that broke million record sales. Mid to late 80s. She started an all female rock festival in Osaka to get more women into the genre. Think it went on for several years before stopping. This entire generation was influenced by it. Can't remember any names.

Your eyes tingle with pleasure in the reaction! Great reaction!

You must watch their live performances.

Great reaction, they're the best today, thank you every musician talented, drummer like a machine, thank you, waiting for next song, Bravehearted live 2019 👍👍

Japanese is fun, so please indulge me in this long-winded comment regarding the band HANABIE. Their name is actually written as 花冷え, and pronounced as はなびえ. Because most people outside of Japan cannot read Japanese, scholars long ago created a system for using Roman characters to write Japanese words. In this system, each vowels represent exactly one sound, and there are no silent vowels. (If you ever studied Spanish, the vowel sounds are almost the same.) Thus, はなびえis written with Roman characters as HANABIE. If you have the decoder ring, you understand that “HANABIE” represents はなびえ, which is pronounced as “Ha-Na-Bi-Eh” (“a” as in “mama”, “i” as in “pizza”, and “e” as in “pet”).

If Ash was looking forward to this because she thought it might be like her anime soundtracks, then you should definitely show her the official music video for Lovebites' Winds of Transylvania, which is a theme song for the anime Vlad Love, and has clips from the anime throughout the video. Here's the link for that one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HsE4Ub_Pjh8.html

Great reaction guys, would love to see the both of u react to there song edge of the world live. It’s a progressive masterpiece.

More LOVEBITES please. I like watching your expressions. They are always amazing live but the black and white samurai images in this MV are awesome. I'd love to have them on my walls. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

A nicer group of human beings you couldn’t wish to meet. They treat their fans with respect and are genuinely grateful for their support. When the bassist seen here left, the four remaining members during a forced period of inactivity, sent a signed card to every member of the Japanese fan club. The message? Thank you for supporting us. Class. Absolute class.

I think you liked it. 😂😂😂

One of their best solos. Including the backingtrack

Now show her the new version of Lovebites with their new bassit Fami.

🤘🐺Wolfpack🤘🔥💚🎸M＆M🎸💙💯🌟

If you like Slayer do Lovebites Winds of Transylvania Vlad Love version.

an they can play it life !

I recommend the Hammer of Wrath Live!! Which was taken from Knockin on Heavens Gate!! This is just a small sample of this incredible band. I would expect nothing less of coarse. From a band born of former Destrose members. Captain Mina and her crew of shipwrecked misfits. Have given us so many great bands over the years. Lovebites is certainly among the best to come off their tail. Along with Nemophila more recently which is also great. Destrose has long since disbanded now but Mina's legacy along with her current band Fate Gear is still going strong. Great reaction here is all I'm saying! 🤘🔥🎸

🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺❤❤❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

🐺🤘🏻

IF YOU LIKE LOVEBITES CHECK OUT THE BAND THAT STARTED IT ALL SHOW-YA THEY ROCK

🤘

WOW, yeah that sums them up nicely in one word. Now show her them LIVE so she can really have her head explode (LOL). Also another side for her would be Frozen Serenade just to show her how insanely talented these women are ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ae8pQVu-RN8.html This band LIVE is even better (IMHO) and you really experience that insane talent totally. They are on the move coming to the US 9/8/2024 to ProgPower and likely have other venues planned. I am sure they will make the European Summer festival circuit (Wacken, Bloodstock, etc.) next year also so you should have a shot a a LIVE venue performance.

LOVEBITES played at WACKEN 2018. You can see their performance on RU-vid. Their take on Thrash Metal is even better. Here are some of my favorite Thrashtastic LOVEBITES live performances: HOLY WAR - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bgAxpEpEcno.html BREAK THE WALL- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5Pc0XK0lNmU.html RAISE SOME HELL - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zamSQD0JUFk.html SET THE WORLD ON FIRE - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-99zsH6iG_6c.html There’s more to Japanese culture than Anime. Japan was exporting J-Pop existed long, long before K-Pop was a thing outside of Korea.

For my personal taste: 1. Lovebites 2. Hanabie and then the others 😅 If you don’t know them yet, I suggest to take a look at Saiseiga, starting with “Jumble”. You’ll love them 😉

For another demonstration of the talent in the band, show Ash the live Swan Song with Chopin intro, where guitarist Miyako plays a top notch classical piano intro. In generaI, l like the dual guitar solo interplay sections of the live videos impressive. Some of the live videos have subtitles. She also might like the drum solo on the live "Freedom" by Band-Maid.

LOVEBITES will come to USA September 2024 for live in US....

You should listen to the Lovebites rendition of Painkiller by Judas Priest.

Congratulation you just found a best talent metal band today. FYI every member LOVEBITES are good educated and took major music when studied in University. And Miyako (Dean Guitar) also vertuoso pianis. Just suggest try reack RISING or SWAN SONG Live version. Every LOVEBITES live song better than the studio recording version.

🐺🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Best duo leads since Boston

Dave show Ash A Frozen Serenade live Ash will love it Regards Wolfpack UK 🐺🤘🎸🥁🎹🎶🎤🔥
