I have the feeling, that they are really proud of their new bassist! It‘s like Fami in unison with Haruna is swinging the whip, especially in the solos, driving the other Ladies forward…like „C‘mon, fastet, harder….give everything!“ It‘s my opinion that Fami lifted them to another level…like they were reborn! Awesome! Fantastic reaction, I loved it! Greetings from Germany!👋
Good comment. Some people think Haruna is not 'flashy enough'. Bullshit - she is more concerned with constantly Driving the Song forward. She does her 'flash' with amazing cymbal hits and polyrhythms - just as difficult to pull off @ 200+bpm as extra hits on the toms, and they don't interrupt the Drive of the song. And that constant Drive (HARUNA) is IMHO one of the things that both define and make Lovebites Special.
Thorsten, you are absolutely right. They made a very good choice to pick up Fami to their family. Haruna cried for exitement and nervousness after they decided to make Fami as one of them. And yes, nothing against the sweet Miho, Fami brings (in my Oppinion) the depth and the volume to Lovebites, I have missed before. Now we can see Lovebites 2.0 with three guitars in the frontline. Haruna (now a blond angel) and Asami with her unbelievable Voice, the two Ms (Midori + Miyako) in a very complex song, thats heaven on earth - especially for my ears. That was a perfect christmas gift, the ladies brought to us. Greetings from Austria
@@erwinmatula6404 I hope, they will come to Europe next year. It is my biggest wish, to see them live, especially Miyako!🥰 I‘ve never seen a more mindblowing musician than her! Swan Song was my first song I‘ve heard from them and from the first note I absolutely fell in Love with her and later in with every other band member! It is a miracle, that there is a band, where EVERY member is one of the best in the world! I‘ve never seen a band with so much musical talent and quality!
@@thorstenkrieger6289 Fingers cross that they will come. May be during a world tour. I'll be there, when they are in Europe. Lovebites have a big fanbase in the US, but I'm a bit angry when they are playing on american stages. With their quality they will destroy the western music szene. They are frontrunner and you will find not easy an other band (may be dragonforce) with such a quality. But Lovebites would deserve it to get a bigger fanbase. Its clear that the ladies have fun with her music, but they need also a commercial success, they are professionals. I hope instantly for some "easier" songs in the upcoming album, because such a complex song like judgement days is not really perfect for average ears. Its a song for pure specialists. And they have to involve the crowd to remain successful. Lovebites is - as far i know - the only band worldwide witn NO weak song. No quality for a B-side. Thats outstanding. Have heard all (over 50) songs from them. And not only the quality of Lovebites, also the quality of Mao as the mastermind and songwriter in the background is important. Therfore, In reality Lovebites has 6 Members. Mao as a songwriter is also included in a wide range of japanese Metalbands. Lovebites and Mao is a package wich fulfills our dreams. Hopefully in the future also.
@@Patrick_H. You are right, Patrick. Haruna is a key element of the group. Her quality on the drums is world class. If you listen to a full concert, Haruna is playing full speed and accuracity over 2 hours like a human metronom. Not easy to find such a quality worldwide.
I've watched this video MANY times, and I'm just now starting to understand the breadth of what's going on. Asami is a Lyrical/Poetic genius - I LOVE the theme behind this song, and the way Haruna and Fami Drive it forward.
Thanks Wally - The Girls are Back - maybe better than ever. We'll know for sure when that new Album drops in February. But I think I already know the answer. 🤘🐺🤘
I could go on all day expressing to anyone that will listen how talented these ladies are. Not just as musicians/vocalist but as songwriters and lyricists too. They are, in my opinion, the gold standard of metal music nowadays. They are flawless. And now with the addition of Fami on the bass, this brings them to a whole new level. No disrespect to Miho as she is an absolutely fantastic bass player but Fami is in a different league. This band just gets better and better. I've been listening to them for over 2 years now and I cannot get enough of them. If this song is any indication of what the rest of the new album is going to be like, then we are in for a good, old-fashioned ass whooping.
This is lovebites on crack! The more you listen the more you will appreciate this track. Wondering how the rest of the tracks sounds in the album with fami in the team!
For sure, you have to listen this song again and again, to see and hear all the wonderful aspects in it. Simply the 4 soli from Midori and Miyako are extremly awsome. The brilliant fills of Haruna, our beloved "speedmouse", on the cimbals is art by itself. There are so many points to watch, you cann't expect to hear all the goodies when you hear them first time.
YES.....the Wolf Goddesses are back with new bassist(Welcome Fami) friggin awesome as always, and i believe the bass line was a little more prevalent, great song, can't wait for mew album(yes I have it on preorder) can't wait to hear the album.......👍👍🤘🤘
One of my SotY contenders, too! In fact, it occurs to me that three of the big contenders for me are from the Japanese "girls metal" scene: this one, "Adabana" from Nemophila, and "BlackCult" from Hagane. The axis of metal has shifted East.
This was so good!! With an 1 year hiatus, you never know how it can affect the band, but the ladies came in with this blazing song!! 🤘🐺🤘Went straight into my top fav songs!! Fami, what a great "judgement day" for her too, as the LB fans were curious on how she would do, well she did freaking awesome! finger, tap, slap she is on it!! Nothing too crazy but enough for her to show "IM HERE"!! Especially in the 2nd Miyako solo she goes crazy on the slaps!! 🔥Thank you and have a great new year! 🤘
She shutted down all the doubters! LOVEBITES let her to be herself with her unique playstyle and her stage presence! And it worked! She really shines here!
Lovebites were already a talent factory - my God, Miyako, the musical prodigy of our age - plus her guitar maestro partner, a powerhouse drummer and an exceptional vocalist. Adding Fami to the mix kicks them onto a higher level that we didn't suspect existed - Lovebites 2.0. Can't wait to hear this one played live.
DUDE!! I have never seen a better coming out party than this one.. Much less a BASSIST!?? This for the taken for granted, least recognized; yet CANNOT do without one. Try to follow song w/o one. GOD knows I love MIHO, she's a monster BASSIST. Fami is a SAVAGE. And a better fit for LOVEBITES'direction. less than 2 seconds into chorus; before it tkl'd your special place.
Don’t apologise for swearing. And if you say “effing” our brain translates it anyway. So say fucking awesome, because it is..fucking awesome. And I wish people didn’t feel the need to apologise for suggesting that Lovebites might even sound better with Fami. Guess what? They sound better with Fami. You heard exactly what I heard…a bassist being accompanied by an awesome band. Okay, I exaggerate, but only a bit. Four traded guitar solos backed by four different bass runs. Fami deserves to shine as brightly as the rest of the band, deserves all the praise that is slowly (and at the moment, for me, it is slowly) coming her way. This is Lovebites, this is the lineup that will perform now and in the future, this is the lineup that has delivered my personal favourite among the bewildering number of songs that the word favourite seems almost wrong to use. This is not just kickass, it’s magnificent. It’s ground breaking and, as usual, it’s slick.
It doesn't get better than this. Asami's voice is f'ing incredible. Fami's basslines are mesmerizing. Haruna's cymbal work is next level. Midori is as fast and tight as ever. Miyako has been practicing speed and shredding, as she was fire. Amazing return.
All I can say is you just got a taste of Lovebites new journey and hope you don't abandon them like most reactors do. I do strong suggest you look into the rest of their discography so you can get a better fell of the many style and genres they possess. Tust me you will not regret it, this song is jkust another layer of their talent and prolific writings. That ddid not sound bad you showed your respect for Miho and I for one do appreciate it so much.
What i really appreciate from LOVEBITES, they let Fami to be herself, so eveybody will know, Fami really shines here with her unique style of playing and stage presence. She's a metalhead now but still had a funky style ♥️
