LOVEBITES / Glory to the World REACTION | Metal Musician Reacts 

Miyako is the only one who has openly disclosed her age. She turned 31 on April 5th (born 1990). Also of interest, Midori began piano at 2, organ about 8, and didn't begin guitar until 20, had studied to be a pharmacist before guitar took her to Metal! Haruna writes music using a keyboard and we have seen Asami play piano too (We The United in "Five of a Kind"). I do not know about Miho, if she plays piano, but she does play guitar and has a drum-kit in her home. As a primary composer of songs, she may be a pianist also.

@@dregeye miho learned to play the piano when she was a child, and she still plays the piano occasionally in her spare time. And she uses guitar and keyboard when she composes.

she was 18 when she began practicing the guitar, they are all trained pianists it is why they all know how to write and compose songs.

Lovebites did do a tribute to Iron Maiden's "Aces High" with "The Crusade" though. It's as close as you can get to "Aces High" without actually being "Aces High".

@@ckiemnstr345 And of course now Nemophila have done an actual "Aces High" cover...and predictably knocked it out of the park.

There is one other Metal 'cover' LOVEBITES has released, audio only, live. Electric Pentagram option of 2 CD set "Limited Edition B CD: Invitation to the Theater - Live in Tokyo 2019 Disc 2" includes a 'cover' of their namesake, the Halestorm song "Love Bites (So Do I!)" and live recordings of "Mastermind 01" and "The Final Collision". These disks are still available through Booth/Buyee internationally from Japan, as also is "Limited Edition A DVD: Crusaders Standing at Wacken - Live in Germany 2018". I had already acquired Electric Pentagram CD when becoming aware of these resulting (soon) in now having 3 copies of Electric Pentagram! (these Limited Editions are in the mail now). The "Invitation..." also lists "Keyboard solo" on disk 1 which could be Miyako's 'cover' of Chopin or some other piece, possibly written by her, possibly another classical composer. I won't know until they get here, but Chopin's Revolutionary Etude is technically a 'cover' so I specify "Metal cover" for Eagle Fly Free and Love Bites (So Do I!). &:-)

They are all super hot. And Haruna is super CUTE!

@@TheCyberMantis THE CUTEST!

@@JFrancoDrums She is, huh! And she makes cute tiny fake food!

@@TheCyberMantis The SUPER-CUTEST tiny fake food in the whole world !!!

Have to go to northern Europe to find equivalent musicianship. You know who I mean.

Also reminds me a bit of Kanami's Order solo too! 😀

Iam so glad that I discovered not just lovebites but this whole new metal sound from Japan and that they are all female

I'm in love with miyako, but I agree miho....mmmm yep

My favourit *scream for me* is the one in the Studio, which is *Live from the Abyss*

Check out break the wall

"Holy War"... my first Lovebites song I seen/heard. My life changed forever. \m/

Definitely agree on Winds of Transylvania for the next one.

Dissension! Raitei! And for a crazy vocal performance, check out their cover of Given Up by Linkin Park.

Yes!!! Definitely need a Champ reaction to Nemophila. I think Oiran, Raitei, and Dissension all make sense as starting points for different reasons.

Indeed🤟

just tried to buy the destrose flying cat chronicles last week from cdjapan. it now comes up no longer available. were you able to preorder ?

@@thedocofrock1890 Yes I ordered as soon as I heard about it. It is still listed on the VAA store site. Did you try cdjapans proxy service? youtube won't allow me to put VAA url on here. Just do a search for Destrose - The Complete Flyingcat Recordings

@@ramair3judge just tried the proxy shopping on it and it also comes up as sold out - damn it they better keep this thing going. i snoozed on it for a day or two and then it was gone

@@thedocofrock1890 You can request an item through the service. It usually takes a couple days to get a response. www.cdjapan.co.jp/z/daiko_request/

@@ramair3judge thanks much - i will try and see what happens

the intro always reminds me of *The Legend of Zelda* and a lil bit of *Final Fantasy*

Thursday I wore the "Awakening From Abyss" shirt doing payday errands. Numerous people asked about my shirt. I described the seeming-contradictions of women-in-white playing heavy-metal, Japanese but singing in English, Metal music with uplifting encouraging lyrics. The intrigue increased with each seemingly incongruous juxtaposition resulting in several pulling out their phones and finding LOVEBITES on RU-vid right away and others even writing down 'LOVEBITES' to find when home. Friday I wore "Glory, Glory to the World" shirt with same results in a different town with lots of tourists, leading to many conversations and people finding them on their phones for later watch/listen. I live in a small (1000 population) coastal town and by the time touring starts again I predict we could host a LOVEBITES concert with people coming from far and wide, but may sell-out tickets to locals! The universal consensus is that humanity NEEDS uplifting and encouraging music, now more than ever. Women like the idea of other women playing powerful music typically associated with men, especially honorable sophisticated women who are elegantly dressed. LOVEBITES' women are role-models for all, especially young girls who need an example of realization of mastery-of-their-craft and success. I admit that I am not shy about talking to 'strangers' and comfortable asking, "Have you been listening to LOVEBITES?" While pointing at my shirt. The shirts really break-the-ice. An opportunity to tell their story, just loud enough to be heard by everyone nearby (!) I love it when someone overhears and then approaches me to ask more and clarify the name and spelling, "LOVEBITES, one word, the band, and watch out for all the other off-topic stuff that will come up too..." To which they usually raise eyebrows momentarily, then laugh...

@@dregeye Awesome story. Keep spreading the word about Lovebites.

Thanks dude. I've checked out some broken by the scream on Patreon and I fn love them.

Afaik it is because of the way english is taught in most japanese schools. They often do not practise talking, so they lack the routine of hearing and forming the words.

@@daniel1138 That makes a lot of sense and I hadn’t thought of that.

They don't exclusively play power metal.

Haha thanks Tess boosting my ego. Thanatotic Desire is the name of my former band. You can hear it on Spotify.
