After composing this song, Miyako gave it the temporary title “LOVEBITES” She had been saving that honor since 2017 for use when she wrote a song worthy enough to bear the band ‘s name. Miyako described the song as melodic speed metal. Recognizing the song as representative of the band, Asami wrote the lyrics about its five members. From the album Electric Pentagram Lyrics: Asami Music: Miyako Arrangement: Miyako/LOVEBITES 🎸🔥🤘🐺
How many bands would have the guts to open a concert with this? Correction: how many bands could even play it? When the MV first dropped, there were comments to the effect that they would not be able to play this live. Well, they nailed it.
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
What is so amazing is I wonder just how few of the remaining top western metal/rock bands could play this song live? The guitar solos on their own would be tricky for even the best lead guitarists but then how many could then play more than two bars of synchronise, harmonised playing? That is insanely difficult to do when there are not any distractions, let alone on a live stage. So glad you have been exploring Japanese female bands. A wake up call for western acts, in my view.
I've seen Metallica, Slayer, Exodus, Opeth, Dream Theater, Epica, ELP, Santana, and so many more bands live. None equal the musicianship live that Lovebites brings to the table. Yes, my personal opinion.
