FIRST TIME Hearing "Empty Daydream": LOVEBITES REACTION!! 

I too have heard Queensryche influence in some of their songs. Early on in my LOVEBITES journey, this was the first solo that brought a tear to my eye. Thanks for another great reaction to these amazing ladies! 🤘🐺🤘

Never seen and heard a band that complete - stellar musicianship, superb stage appearance, deep and touching lyrics, beautiful melodies, and - last but not least - awfully nice personalities. These ladies are a gift to the world of Metal - nothing better could have happened.

who else can combine MJ and Iron Maiden? they are so impressive and surprising. always.

Absolutely, they draw on a lot of influences, and they seem to know how to take the best of those influences and weave it all into magic.

Try a Frozen Serenade, you'll hate it, lol! Actually it's regarded as a Masterpiece. Most bands would be happy to write one or two masterpieces in a career (the Stairway to Heaven/ Bohemian Rhapsody sort of moment), Lovebites produce them in multiple, and keep outdoing even their own perfectionist standards. Thanks for this great reaction, Empty Daydream is one of my favourite tracks.

LOVEBITES 🐺 INCREDIBLE

Your Lovebites reactions are the best (all of them) in this times. Good talk and excellent audio and video quality.

Love Lovebites. Love your reactions. I had the same exact thing when I first heard this song. Couldn't get over what that riff reminded me of. I even had the same Survivor thought exactly until it dawned on me. It's the riff before the solo in Beat It. Miyako does remind me of Eddie Van Halen in a lot of ways

If you want a ballad then Edge of the world would be a good choice. And no, i don"t think you"ll find a song that you are not gonna like,all songs are incredible. Continue your reactions to this incredible band and i think you"ll become addicted. The best band in any music genre that i"ve heard in the last 30 years

R&B Shred Metal. Another mind bending piece. The layered Vocals are goosebumps Great.

Love this song. Asami gets to show her beautiful voice off, they show the softer side of them yet still keep it metal. One of my favorites.

They are really amazing band , un expected talents .

Great reaction! Did not expect this one so soon! The lyrics are also great. Asami writes most of them. For an other ballad, I'd recommend Edge of the World live: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UZjxMjBop7w.html (Subs on this one, lyrics are great) For more trash, The Awakening / The Hammer of Wrath (1st song from their 1st full length) : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-otJZPUCwyOM.html

Thanks for the reaction! 😊 LOVEBITES : 🐺Miho - bass, backing vocals (in August 2021 she left the band). 🐺Haruna - drums. 🐺Midori - guitars, backing vocals. ( blonde / ESP guitars) 🐺Miyako (Mi-Ya)- guitars, piano, keyboards, backing vocals. ( brunette / Dean guitars) 🐺Asami - lead vocals, piano. LOVEBITES has many songs with backing vocals. You did a reaction to the song "Set The World On Fire" which has backing vocals (Midori, Miho, Miyako). You forgot ...🤗

Not bad singing for a 2nd language eh. 🙂 And yes, the one and only Miyako; an absolute virtuoso who should be known globally at this point; you saw her extraordinary abilities on Swan Song w/Chopin intro. Lovebites can do it all and they should be known around the world as well! No one does music / metal like they do and I love the fact that Asami's not a growler as I don't think that type of vocals would fit with Lovebites (just my thoughts). Keep going this path, not a bad song by Lovebites! Suggest some of their power metal, all are amazing with next level playing and worth checking out one of their MVs. Shadowmaker MV ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Brmoln5Gxus.html When Destinies Align MV ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hLFelI93VkM.html Glory to the World MV ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--wJtD2XEXH4.html There are live versions of each of these as well. 🐺 Love the reaction and analysis, stop as much as you'd like, it's your reaction!

in your long remaining journey of lovebites, still great things to discover, this riff is from Michael Jackson song: Beat It, just a consideration avoid bloodstock footage because it miss almost 1 audio channel... but it will be a "Educative" exercise to see what are they made of, because when playing Don't bite the dust miho adjust her console by herself, lovebites are a real thing =)

The back up vocals by Miyako are amazing. She can do it all perfectly!!!

🐺🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Beautifully executed

I was so looking forward to your next Lovebites reaction, i forgot to comment on this one!! Gorgeous song, so many feelings, beautiful backing vocals from Miho and Miyako!! Asami as always excellent!! So much emotion she always transmits to me!! From the moment they kick it into overdrive for the solo section, what a fantastic switch as you said. And the rhythm they are playing during the solos makes it feel so tense, amazing!! what a band!! 🤘🐺🤘

Midori and Miyako were on a two-part episode of a RU-vid series called Rock Fujiyama where one of the hosts is Marty Friedman. The first part was Midori talking about her five favorite guitarists, and the second part was Miyako doing the same. One of Miyako's favorites was Jennifer Batten, Michael Jackson's live guitarist for roughly a decade. While Jennifer wasn''t on the "Thriller" album, Michael does have a rich history of playing live in Japan during Jennifer's time in his band. I have no doubt Miyako saw Jennifer play "Beat It" live one way or another. Regarding the backing vocals, I feel like this performance might be the only time Miho and Miyako both sang. On their next live, "Invitation to the Theater," the song is closer to the studio version and the backing vocals are so low in the mix that it's hard to tell if it's both ladies or just Miyako. This video, the version from "Daughters of the Dawn," is the superior version of this song.

Bloody Lovebites 🐺 I love'em

i introduce lovebites to my uncle..he is around 60...he always said it's sound familiar but it's not,sound old but it's refreshing at same time...i don't understand at first but after hear what reactor said that they have 70's 80's 90's sound rock and metal band..i understand why he like them..i guess these ladies bring back his memory to golden ages of rock

Great review!! I don't think Wolfpack mind how you call the musicians as long as you assess Lovebites fairly. They got influences from all the major bands such as Maiden, Priest, Metallica, Slayer, Megadeath, Angra and others, and Lovebites will be the authentic metal band in the future.

Loving your reactions. To find the riff you're struggling to locate I suggest you listen to MJ's "Beat It". I believe Eddie Van Halen had something to do with it 😁. Although I think there is another link between that song and Miyako. Thank you for holding back on the desire to listen to LB so that we can experience your journey with you. It shows the breadth of their talent that their songs keep on exposing new elements of what they can do. You're doing good with their names. Perhaps you should peek at the end of the Ride For Vengeance 2021 show where Asami introduce themselves by name and you can then see how they pronounce them. 🤘🤘🤘

In the intro when she started singing ,it kind of reminded me of Queen's Who Wants To Live Forever.

Greaaat reaction! Love this song! i also think the audio of this concert is the best of all. More raw with more defined bass, highlighting more miho's bass and haruna's heavy drums. Cheers from Japan 👍

Here for my daily Lovebites fix 🐺

A Miyako progressive metal masterpiece from the album Clockwork Immortality Lyrics: Asami Music: Miyako Arrangement: Miyako/Lovebites

Thank you. I have been viewing your reactions to other groups, many of which I also have listened to. You are refreshing. I am a 11 month old member of the Wolfpack. Still working on my howl, fangs and claws. I also LOVE this group of wonderful musicians. I had three. Joni Mitchell, Frank Zappa and Pink Floyd. Now I have four. LOVEBITES. You do reactions the right way. Subscribed. Continue your journey for all of us. It will be a pleasure to watch you grow. :) 😂🐺🐺🐺🤘👹

LOVEBITES - Empty Daydream lyrics: Memories I can’t erase still haunting me Silently you stare with cold, empty eyes Falling down Breaking heart A growing addiction Just let me go away Just let me go my way Just let me go, I won’t become a doll you control I’m losing sight of me I’m losing sight of you I’m losing sanity and I don’t know how I will go on Nothing new, pretending not to know the truth Rendezvous, without emotion or heart I won’t show how weak and sad I am inside Even though I know it’s just silly pride Empty room Endless rain The end of a daydream You never call my name You never feel the same You never make me feel like I deserve any love I’m waiting for the dawn I’m waiting for the time I’m waiting for my bleeding heart to heal, so I can go on Memories I can’t erase still haunting me Silently you stare with cold, empty eyes Falling down Breaking heart A growing addiction Empty room Endless rain The end of a daydream Just let me go away Just let me go my way Just let me go, I won’t become a doll you control I’m losing sight of me I’m losing sight of you I’m losing sanity and I don’t know how I will… You never call my name You never feel the same You never make me feel like I deserve any love I’m waiting for the dawn I’m waiting for the time I’m waiting for my bleeding heart to heal, so I can go on ----- lyrics: asami music: miyako arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami)

Love your reactions. Bear in mind that the studio version doesn’t have the soft intro. Welcome to your first “E” song. Next two reactions now need to be “Edge of the World” from the 2020 Zepp Diver City gig and “Epilogue” from this gig. That last one will make you cry. And your bad song hunt is woefully in vain…

The riff you've been talking about so many times is from one of the world's "King of Pops" masterpieces. This riff seems to be Miyako's favorite, and when Midori and Miyako appeared on a Japanese program, Miyako herself talked about this riff. This is a song that uses her "playfulness". 貴方が何度も口にしていたリフは、世界の「キングオブポップス」の代表作からの物です。 このリフはミヤコもお気に入りらしく、日本の番組にミドリとミヤコが出演した時にも、このリフについてミヤコ本人が話していました。 これは、そんな彼女の「遊び心」が使われた曲です。

Spot-on with the Queensryche reference, I was thinking exactly the same. That riff is Beat It! Can’t believe you didn’t get that one….

Amen amen amen. This show (Daughters of the Dawn) has a special place in my heart because of the "imperfections" and also because I think it has the most harmonies by Miyako. Each of the three big recorded shows have their own pros.

I told you these ladies were awesome, glad to see you're enjoying them as much as I am, just hope they can pick their new bass player and get back to creating some more great music

When Miyako wrote this song she was inspired by guitarist Jennifer Badden who performed the guitar work for Michael Jackson Beat It. There is an interview that Miyako and Midori had with Marty Friedman on his RU-vid channel Rock Fujiyama where they talk about their favourite guitarists and Miyako explains the connection between MJ and this song. Ps really enjoying your reactions 🤘

Well done on holding back from just diving into their catalogue. Doing it one by one, will really help to appreciate them even more. 🙂🤘

Don't you just love when a metal band starts with a Rachmaninoff intro. They also do backing harmony like this in "Burden of Time" live studio version. And Miyako does something, you know she can shred the guitar as well as the piano, watch her do both at the same time. Miyako has a special tone on her Dean guitars, no mixing studio magic. She post quite often on instagram little clips of playing at home. Sounds like on stage.

Its like a hybrid between micheal jackson and iron maiden.

Their catalog is about 50 original songs (just two excellent covers) and practically no fillers; they’re that good. I discovered this band two and a half years ago and I’m still in owe. Yes, they’re mostly thrash/power/heavy metal band but as real musicians they’re so versatile. In general, I like Miyako’s piano playing and Asami’s vocals. Another excellent song I really recommend is “Epilogue” live (nice piano, nice vocals, nice guitars, nice everything). For more different styles they play my suggestions are “Glory to the world”, “Winds of Transylvania”, “Edge of the world”, “Frozen serenade”, “Spellbound”, “Dancing with the devil” (all live, but the first two have a great MV).

Miyako power cannot be denied

Finnvox Studio is who does their post production......they wanted a European sound. ❤️🎙🎸🎹🥁😎👌 Try, " Break the Wall, " Co written by Miho & Miyako, lyrics by Asami.

Awesome reaction. I thought that you will not like their not heavy songs. But you like it. And you will not find their song that you don't like. They all are amazing. Like always I say that all their songs are different. But if you want the same style like "Empty Daydream" you should check out "Frozen Serenade" or "Edge of the world". By the way there were backing vocals by other members in the song "Set the world on fire". :) Thank you for your reaction. Waiting another reactions to Lovebites. "Frozen Serenade" - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ae8pQVu-RN8.html "Edge of the world" - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UZjxMjBop7w.html

That riff is likely a borrow from EVH and his riffs on beat it combined with everything from maiden too heart and RacerX and beyond. They write such classy Shred its astounding.

Speaking of amazing bands who lost their bassist, you need to listen to Unleash the Archers. The band out of Vancouver had an amazing bassist who had to leave because he couldn't afford to keep playing. The usual starting song is Awakening. Other great songs are Tonight We Ride and Cleanse the Bloodlines. You won't regret this band. PS They do have a new bassist who is great.

Yes, you’re getting their names right. We appreciate you honest reactions, not just because you’re complimentary, but because as a real musician you can recognize real talent when you see it. It’s refreshing! Unlike another so-called musician reactor, who shall remain unnamed and who together with his mate, totally trashed Lovebites’ performance of Swan Song with Chopin Intro though it was their first Lovebites reaction. Keep up the great analyses, enjoying them mucho!

I understand that you probably have a lot of requests for different bands, but I will still make a list of LOVEBITES songs that you might be interested in. This is not a request for reactions, this is just friendly advice. 🤗 Just in case you have the time and desire to learn more about LOVEBITES.😉 - Life and MV: "Thunder Vengeance", "Winds of Transylvania", "Break the Wall", "The Awakening"&"The Hammer of Wrath" , "Shadowmaker", "The Crusade", "When Destinies Align", "Above the Black Sea", "Golden Destination", "Addicted", "Raise Some Hell", "Pledge of the Saviour", "Bravehearted", "Dancing with the Devil", "Liar", "A Frozen Serenade", "Today Is the Day", "Rising", "Glory to the World", "Edge of the World", "Burden of Time", "Epilogue", "We the United", "Spellbound", "Signs of Deliverance", "The Unbroken". - Audio : "Dystopia Symphony", "Paranoia", "No Time to Hesitate", "The Final Collision", "Puppet on Strings", "Warning Shot", "Painkiller"(JUDAS PRIEST cover).😊

The lyrics are really good too....

🤘🐺🤘 *Miyako* 🎼🎹🎸🎤🤩

When other musicians judge Lovebites and other Japanese bands, it always gives the most interesting and best reaction video. When you gradually discover Lovebite's song repertoire, at some point you think: If only I had managed to write just one song of this quality and to arrange it so brilliantly...in my life 😩

stay reading the comments, the wolfpack will help you learn ,great reaction. my personal favorite is break the wall. stay with the journey, you wont be sorry, wolfpack for life

hi man :) I supose that riff remids you "Don't say it's over" fron Gun. That's what came to my mind when I first listened to this song. Congrats for your honest reactions & comments, I also recently discovered Lovebites and got amazed with them all. Cheers!

My Lovebites 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🐺 🤘

Yeah, this is an excellent song. I highly recommend the whole blu-ray. It's fantastic from start to finish and you are right that the sound is a bit more raw. It's great.

"Beat It" my friend.Miyako loves that tune.

Its Michael Jacson - Beat It guitar riff (i guess). Very catchy with souly vibe, its special to me. Great reaction bro👍👍🤘🤘

Studio version of this does not have the piano intro or the beautiful vocal part with Miyako and Asami. That is what I love about Lovebites. They will throw an intro to a song into their live performance. They did the same for Sawn Song by adding Frédéric François Chopin Piano Etude OP 12 No 10 with Miyako on Piano. Not to mention the live performance sounds better than the album. They are one of the best live bands. A lot of those influences you cite are good ones. They were definitely influenced by Iron Maiden, especially ex-bassist and founder Rosana Miho. I can here a lot of Metallica and Slayer influence with them too. Midori and Miyako are different enough to provide uniqueness in their parts but still compliment each other. Their harmonization is among the best I have heard. Asami was a trained R&B singer and she shows that in this song. Great showcase of her voice. Another song I love is Dancing with the Devil. It has a nice driving blues rock feel. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mJGgLFTPME8.html Haruna, the youngest member of the band. What more can I say except that "I want alternate drum cam view." Drummers can be so much fun to watch. She is a technician who had speed and power. Plus she adds a lot of great texture to the music. Recently, Asami got married and she is a mom. Just before that, Miyako downloaded, too. I bet they have a daycare now. Keep up the great reactions.

Michael Jackson - Beat It xD Jennifer Batten is one of Miyako's inspiration as a guitar player.

You're really good at this. Thank you for this thoughtful reaction! You helped me hear this afresh. Keep on getting it right!

Judas Priest influences you say. Lovebites does a spot-on cover of Painkiller. Check out Lovebites - Brake The Wall, you will swear you're listening to Slayer.

The rif in this song is from Reo Speedwagon back on the road again

That riff is from Eddie Van Halen for Michael Jackson’s Beat It

MJ & Slash (edit: "Beat It")

The Guitar reminds me of Motorhead - No Class

About the backing vocals: Midori, Miyako and Miho are singing them, but when it's an harmonized voice, it's always Miyako - one more talent ... (I'd be really curious to hear her singing lead ).

Este rif que lembra Michael Jackson é um tributo à guitarrista Jennifer Batten da banda de MJ, de quem Miyako há grande admiração.

Thanks for reaction, you must check epilogue from lovebites , i want to hear your comment Love your reaction

REO SPEEDWAGON. Back on the road,,

The riff that you thinking of is beat it MJ..next you can check shadowmaker,under the red sky..

That riff reminds me of the Ghost Busters theme

Mj, beat it!

quite a few say that 'beat it' by MJ is that familiar riff- listen to them side by side- sorry it's not the same riff. the inspiration supposedly came from the song but it ends there imo. the beat itself is similar but the actual riff is different.

Haruna is so underrated as a drummer!!! Miyako is called "the Golden Touch" by her band mates. This band is not to be underrated!!!!! I see everyone go gaga over Band Maid and Nemophila as they should but LOVEBITES is the best!!!!

If you like this, maybe you will like "Dancing With The Devil" by Lovebites

Please do Break the Wall from Zepp Diver 2021.

MJ's Beat It .... try Edge of the World, you might hate it.

miyako she cover michael jackson ( beat it) that you hear the riff

More like the beginning ? Check this out : LOVEBITES Asami & Miyako [Rising] Acoustic ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--ZLUdCgJmjw.html

the guitar is inspired by iron maiden's the trooper

I heard somewhere that ASAMI was a Jazz singer before joining LOVEBITES. She sounds even better when singing in Japanese, as in BRAVEHEARTED. As for influences, the band declared in an early interview (available on RU-vid) that they wanted to make music like Iron Maiden. On an episode of ROCK FUJIYAMA, MIYAKO declares Dimebag Derrel to be her #1 guitar influence and that’s why she plays his signature Dean V. And that riff your pointing out, now I recognize it too, but I just can’t recall the song. When asked how “live” KISS ALIVE was, Gene Simmons is said to have replied, “live enough.”

Hey sir, check it out "Between the Buried and Me - Extremophile Elite". I belive your mind is gonna blow away!

That riff is inspired by Reo Speedwagon - Back on the Road Again: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MQG3vdBcN6g.html

Sounds kind of like ZZTop - Sharp Dressed Man to me.

Please react to either Under the Red Sky or Today is the Day by Lovebites please!

first time I heard this song it reminded me of 90's all female band Vixen

sounds like you need to hear "Edge of the World" and "Epilogue"

MJ Beat it

Please react to lovebites epilogue live

Beat It Lukather…

That part you talking about is Judas priest

For Piano check out Swan Song with Chopin Intro Miyako is so amazing

This riff is beat it michael jackson

My Guess is Micheal Jackson?
