Eagle Fly Free Helloween and Miyako (Lovebites) double feature REACTION by Songs and Thongs 

Miyako, the most talented, beautiful and elegant lady around today.

She is one insanely talented lady. Pianist, guitarist, composer singer. Who knows what else she can play and is a master at them all. And stunningly beautiful.

Eagle fly free Lovebites version is so cool too

Also she received a very good comments from Helloween for this cover...and also she was with them in the backstage in the last concert of Helloween in Japan

Miyako-san is as beautiful as ever!

the only thing missing is the Lovebites cover of Eagle Fly Free they also covered it as a group and Miyako covered it solo on Piano

Thanks Harry/Sharlene. Miyako took this song and 5 others and 're-imagined' them as classical piano pieces (she has a degree in music composition). They are on her New (first) EP - *Etude Op 23* . She is also performing 2 piano recitals in Tokyo this November. The other 5 songs are *Battery* (Metallica), *Far Beyond the Sun* (Yngwie), *Burn* (Deep Purple), *The Loner* (Gary Moore), and *Addicted* (Lovebites - Miyako composed). Harry, you might want to check out Miyako's RU-vid Channel. In one video she shows how she modified her Dean Icon by changing to active Fluence pickups, and she also put capacitors across each pickup to adjust the Tone to her liking. She is a bona fide GearHead. There is also a cute video of her fretting over getting approved for a loan to purchase a re-issued Gibson Korina V ("I WANT it") - and then unboxing it in her Studio. VERY expensive! I love her channel, because it shows she in fact has a wonderful personality and sense on humor (of course, when she is performing, well - she is the Lovebites Miyako we all know and Love 😃

Miyako! Official inventor of Piano-Shredding! She is a Genius!

Miyako and Haruna from LOVEBITES and Helloween members have met a couple of weeks ago. Helloween played two concerts in Japan this September. They know each other since Wacken 2018 where both bands played. Miyako posted a photo from her with the bassist having a drink together …

My eyes have misted over . Such a beautiful rendition from Miyako. Superb.

Miyako great musician, and the Lovebites version of this song is Amazing.

Miyako is a freaking music genius 🐺🤘🏻

Maestro Miyako has released a debut piano EP called "Étude Op.23" which contains her piano interpretations of 6 famous metal/rock songs ("Eagle Fly Free" is one of them). If you listen to the entire EP, you'll realize that "Eagle Fly Free" is not even her most complex and wonderful re-imagination of these iconic songs.

Thank you for continuing supporting Lovebites

Miyako is a genius she plays guitar, piano electric piano, bass she writes and composer of many of Lovebites songs, Lovebites do a cover of Eagle fly free as well, just as good as Helloween Miyako has a all piano album

Miyako is unreal.

Please check out the LOVEBITES cover of this - its just as impressive.

She absolutely killed it, gotta love a good piano player.

Hey guys, take a look at lovebites version of this track,its a live studio version its mind blowing.❤

Yes, just jaw dropping feel. Miyako the super talented musicians. Lovebites did cover this song and performed and recorded it in live studio. Thanks guys😍🤘👍

Generations of humanity, we grow up, look over the shoulders of giants for a while, even though very few of this previous generation would have seen themselves that way. Miyako, in her previous work, is influenced by the generations of talented songwriters and musicians who came before her. Halloween, one of the most successful power metal bands, founded in West Germany (the old Federal Republic of Germany that has passed into history) in the mid-1980s. At a time in history in which there was apparently a permanent threat of nuclear death, the blocs East and West were irreconcilably opposed - especially in divided Germany, with separated families, some in the East, others in the West, with brutal walls and barbed wire, death strips in between and minefields in the no-man's land of the border areas - something I never want to see in Europe again, even if a lot of people seem to want to rebuild these walls - because they were able to feel great in the past - sad, very sad! Back to positive things: Miyako is such a creative spirit, a talented and technically skilled musician, she has the ability to transform old ideas into her own creations in a new interpretation and to make them shine again in a different current time. The Lovebites band members are such incredibly great musicians, I don't want to leave any of them behind, everyone rocks the stages of the world - even though I've always had a preference for extraordinary drummers - and Haruna from Lovebites is such an outstanding drummer in my eyes! But Lovebites only plays exceptionally good musicians, the M-Pack, Midori and Miyako, 95% of all bands worldwide want a guitarist with these outstanding skills - unfair world - Lovebites calls two such guitarists band members! Fami, the youthful whirlwind on bass, hopefully your talents on bass will shine more often in Lovebites arrangements in the future. Asami, a voice in metal that you would have to look for if it didn't already exist, with a stage presence that sets its own exclamation mark and is the physically smallest of the Lovebites members, the little biggest engine on the drums, the one already mentioned above, with a sure rhythm , fantastically talented and hard-working, incredibly good Haruna - okay, I'm being a bit biased... but Lovebites, the band, is also just incredibly good as a group!

Miyako's whole piano EP is definitely worth a listen. I was kinda surprised by how much I enjoyed it, really. There are some really great arrangements of classic songs on this record.

imagine this Helloween song in '88 while most other bands did 3 chord heavy metal or 2 chord thrash.. this is the beginning of dual lead fast bpm powermetal (Dragonforce, Lovebites aso)

Markus is maybe one of the most underrated bassists on earth...

Miyako is so friggin good its unreal.

As I always say, Lovebites consist of 5 unique world class musicians, of whom at least *3* are music prodigies. One is Myiako. I cannot even imagine how many weeks she will have studied this song and rehearsed this cover, until it "fit" in her opinion. What an *outstanding* hommage to Helloween. 🐺

Great reaction video! I was 14 years old when Helloween became my first favorite Metal/Rock band! It was more than a pleasure for me to see a piano version of one of Helloween's most famous songs after 27 years! Miyako is my favorite woman from the band Lovebites for her contribution to Lovebites and to the Metal/Rock genre! She composed many masterpieces! I'm sure Helloween is proud of Miyako! Have a nice day!

Miyako and Haruna the drummer are maybe both my favorite members of LOVEBITES. But also Asami is close to them for me. And of course I like them all 5 (or better 6) so much ❤️🐺🤘🏼

Lovebites oozes with talent and Miyako leads the way. Phenomenal musician.

There is also one live in studio version (2020) by Lovebites. Ah, it's better than original. Thank you.

15:48 *It is sooo difficult to play silently and sensitive on the piano! Everyone can play loud! But to play silently and sensitive on the piano is art itself! Myiako is a mistress on the piano!* 👏 🥲 🐺

I already loved Markus Großkopf's bass-lines on the first two Helloween releases (especially "Walls of Jericho", which was my favourite album released in 1985), because I generally enjoy audible bass-lines, especially if they go along with the guitar-lines or have a melody of their own. For some even wilder/more prominent bass-playing, I'd recommend the albums "Life Cycle" (1988) by Sieges Even and "Control and Resistance" (1989) by Watchtower, the most technical Thrash Metal albums way back then. As regards Miyako, she has done an excellent job with her piano arrangement of this song (as well as the other five on her EP) and I'm happy for her that she recently also got to meet the guys of Helloween after a concert of them she attended in Japan.

They also do full cover of this song in studio live years back.....

MIYAKO AND LOVEBITES PERFECTION THANKS FOR YOUR REACTION 🤘🏻🐺👏🏻👏🏻

please also react to Lovebites cover of eagle fly free as a whole band. thanks

I would love Miyako to bring out an album of piano covers of some of the greatest heavy metal tracks.

En las manos de Miyako hay toneladas de talento,es una entre un millón.Es alguien realmente especial, porque tiene la capacidad, de con su enorme talento, hacernos felices a millones de personas en todo el mundo.

It is better than the original...Miyako never fails to amaze me!

I am with Harry, love all the members but I hink Miyako is my favourite

Helloween: Timeless Metal Classics. Today, Helloween United (with this singer, again, as second additional front man) is unbeatable, as-to-say. Today the band has still the same vibe and energy as then. 🐺

Miyako seems to be on a crusade to prove that classical and metal music are very, very closely related. And personally I think she's doing a banging job. Also through inserting classical elements into Lovebites songs, like Swan Song. The two genres really are close...

Oh hell yeah, how do I give this more than one like? As someone else commented (but I am happy to steal it!), we are fortunate to live in the time of Miyako. She is a true musical prodigy. If you think this is mind wrenching, have a listen to her piano arrangements of Battery by Metallica and Burn by Deep Purple (audio tracks only, but they are on Miyako's YT channel). She can take the most brutally discordant metal track (Battery!) and turn it into a classical concerto. I thought you had already reacted to Lovebites whole band cover of Eagle Fly Free, as Sharlene said it sounded familiar; it may have been on a livestream. Miho is a star on this version as well, while not quite as exuberant as the bassist from Helloween, but she gets to shine on that solo run. As does Haruna. Dare I say it, both covers are better than the original? Fabulous stuff, this reaction made my night, thanks team!

WELL OBVIOUSLY THIS IS HER ARRANGEMENT OF THE SONG WHICH PRETTY MUCH TAKES IT TO ANOTHER LEVEL ! AND OF COURSE SHE HAS PLAYED THIS SONG WITH LOVEBITES ! I THINK IT'S A STUDIO LIVE VERSION ! YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY CHECK IT OUT !

I'm going out on a limb to help Harry out a little here.. I think the vibe he was reaching for was a reflection upon where the bar was set for bands back in what I like to call the analogue realm (not strictly true either, but that's my vibe on it), where bands did what they did very live, in your face, with a brazen, raw edge and no real options for a production safety net. As for Miss Watanabe, she just knocks it out of the park again with interwoven notes, superb control of her dynamics and expression to fuse a cover of a song which ought to at least appear to be difficult to do justice.. (that key change... I love this woman so much!). I'm waiting for her to pull out a piano version of "Reign In Blood" and would love to see her collaborate with Dream Theater's Jordan Rudess.

The Mozart of Our Time

Thank you for this double feature reaction. Love Helloween 🤘Love Lovebites 🤘 🫶 Love Miyako more 🤘❤

Lovebites covered this song, the entire band that is

miyako is also my favorite LOL eagle fly free is SUCH a good song, and now we’ve got a version for both moods~~

Miyako version is Chopin Polonaise style. Everyone knows that the original composition sounds somehow like Yankee Doodle, doesn't it? You should've made this reaction as triple with the full band Lovebites cover version. Yes, just you think of it, they totally nailed it. My favorite in Miyako Etude Opus 23 is Yngwie Malmsteen's Far Beyond The Sun cover though it is an audio track. You can make a triple reaction here. Yngwie Malmsteen with Japan Philharmonic Orchestra ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Yni9Qu76UyA.html Miyako Etude Op 23 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3RzRNijnaKA.html Unlucky Morpheus (incredible violin heavy metal cover) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-E2hZDzJp9Pc.html Enjoy!!!

Absolute genius !

The whole band does a cover to this also and it is awesome I suggest a reaction to it I think you will be impressed

Thank for putting both versions!! And dumb! I have put my comment on the original UTube of Miyoko’s piano several month ago that “this sounds like the national anthem of metal nation!” Glad you have the same impression. Will keep checking your channel. Thank you again

Virtuoso...Miyako of course. 🤘🎸🎹

I saw helloween in show a lot of times and I can say "Grosskopf the bassist is almost so 'crazy' like Jukka from nightwish or Simon from elvenking"😌. This song was an almost hymn for all we metallers on 90's about the lyrics, the speed beat... And everytime I listening Lovebites I 😍😮 because they're so telented power metal goddesses in Norns clothes. And in this cover "eagle fly free" becomes a mix of Chopin's tragedy, Bach's beauty, Beethoven's quality simphonies and Mozart's fest operas by the hands of Miyako. Woooooow. I repeat: "so talented goddesses playing music in Norns clothes". For us all our ancient influencers are there in all art styles and... Miyako is so so incredible, fuck!! I cannot explain this on another way, sorry🤘🤘💪💪

My favorite band, Helloween and Lovebites ❤👍

Eagle Fly Free is one of my favorite metal songs (I love the early Helloween stuff) and I've heard covers before - but never a piano cover and I have to say it sounds fantastic!

ahhh Helloween...one of my fav Heavy Metal band back then, long live long hair Metal!!! and Miyako...no word...they both had classical background

Miyako became my all time favorite musician very quickly after I first found Lovebites. And by the way, my introduction to Lovebites was me stumbling on your reaction to "Holy War" a couple of years ago. 👍 I grew up playing keyboards, mostly piano. I was really good, but Berklee College of Music destroyed me as a player. Keith Emerson was my favorite musician for over 50 years, easily my favorite keyboardist ever. I can't really call Miyako my favorite keyboardist yet simply because I haven't heard nearly enough of her compared to Keith. But as a musician/composer/arranger, there is no one better to my ears (and eyes too 😁). She's virtuoso level at piano, and at guitar, and as a composer. A pure musician with incredible talent. I love everything about her. Her stage presence is just a perfect compliment/contrast to Midori. Together, the beat dual leads in a band ever, in my opinion. I enjoyed this reaction.

In a sense, it is that Miyako blends so seamlessly into the whole that is Lovebites, that exemplifies the remarkable synergy of the 5 world class musicians that are Lovebites.

this one is definition of 'badass' and Miyako is not from this planet HAIL LIVEBITES 🤘

Wolfpack here visiting your channel.

Helloween are the fathers and creaters of the power metal.... Today ins genre off havy metal most played whith more bands in tn the world.... Like lovebites 80% of their musics is power metal.... Please see the cover off this by lovebites in studio streaming....

Lovebites also does a great cover of this song

Lovebites also does a cover of Eagles Fly Free. She also does five other songs on piano, and they have four new songs off their latest concert please react to those or is it just paterons?

I believe Miyako left classical music because she knew she wouldn't be given the opportunity to freely compose. Metal which has many elements of classical music was her opportunity freely compose her music. The gods must have agreed because there is Asmi for lyrics.

Hello, I am literally shocked that HALLOWEEN is a new acquaintance for you. One of the best bands ever.😀👍❤ Hatten av för Miyako!🙏🐺💪🙏

there is not a better musician in any band anywhere!!!!!!

Sharlene I myself love the piano and if you want to see a great pianist who plays with passion,power and flair take a look at the incredible Yuja Wang. One of the best pianists out there. I'll also drop the name Khatia Buniatishvili who is another incredible pianist.

Should have added Tommy Johanson version. He plays all instruments and I believe he does it better ( as usual ). 😉 🤘🤘🤘

WDR is a German Public Broadcaster. That was a concert 1992, the song is from 1987

Мияко..❤❤❤❤❤❤

One word : CLASS

HAVE YOU REACTED TO JILL FROM UNLUCKY MORPHEOUS COVERING YNGVIE'S "FAR BEYOND THE SUN" ON VIOLIN? 2 MVs, ONE IS HER ALONE AND THE OTHER IS WITH HER BANDMATE MUSICIANS CALLED "QUADRATUM". BOTH ARE EXCELLENT AND YNGVIE APPROVED.

Lovebites also did a full-band cover of this, long before Miyako did the piano cover. Lovebites' version is better than the original, just sayin'.

Epic power metal classic from 1988, the video is from 1992. Studio version is the best!

Epico. One word, beautiful

I love the original , the piano version and tommy johansson version . Love them all , but tommy johansson's version is my favourite

You should also watch the LOVEBITES cover of "Eagle Fly Free", better than the original!

*cough* the inventors of power metal btw ( atleast regarded as that by many ) ...

If you haven't heard these already check out Miyako's piano covers of Burn by Deep Purple and her cover of Gary Moore's "The Loner". BTW Gary Moore is her favorite guitarist 🎸 💜

Have you noticed that she plays without notes?

Incredibly, Kiske still sounds like that

Metal (hair or otherwise) may not be everyone's thing, but NEVER let it be said they can't play. I've always maintained that metal artists can play with the best of them. And Miyako...? Jeez. (She's my favorite, too) Rock on, you two! 🤘😎👍

You should do this with the whole ep. Burn by deep purple is my favorite

🐺 *MYK* 🔵🎹🔆

She also does a cover of Metallica's Battery on piano

🤘🎃🤘

Helloween :)

😊❤

Miyako is a musician on par with Steve Winwood.

Kiske!!!!

6:02 you are not wrong sir...listen to more Helloween guys, check out their pumpkins unite live tour, its more recent and the sound quality is 1000x better

please reaction another cover by lovebites eagle fly free in studio

Yea you know it... from Halloween 😅😉

This track is good. The guys are okay. BUT. Hear the same performed by Lovebites... I may be biased but... Wow, those girls blow everyone away. I'm not kidding. Just watch their studio video. Okay, Miako is a genius, but that piano transcription... well... Whose priest, whose priestess... :D

😁

I think you're thinking of A7X.. unholy confessions

should have made it a triple reaction.... including lovebites cover of this song before going to miyako's version...lovebites made it look so basic....that's just me 🙂.... nothing againts helloween

🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Please react to VOB new album Retas 🙏
