@@kinglakaka Regardless, they are the best currently. Metalcore, nu metal, alternative metal, black, death....arguably Lovebites is most outstanding & consistent in producing good songs & performing live in recent years.
LOVEBITES - Holy War lyrics: Look at those black clouds, it’s going to rain blood People live in fear, covered in mud Singing oh Gloria to change the prophecy We are the metal warriors Fighting the darkness for sisters There is a thousand, a thousand of evils Hush, do not wake up Satan’s devils Singing Hallelujah to save our majesty We are the metal warriors Fighting the darkness for brothers Shining blade and burning heart Into the Gates of Hell we march Immortal soul, let there be light Into the Eye of Heaven Eagles at a holy war Fly higher than the sun We are one for all and all for one forevermore Kingdom of Heaven, never shall we fall Reincarnation, wait for your call Singing oh, Gloria to change the prophecy We are the metal warriors Fighting the darkness for sisters Morning star and dying moon Into the Gates of Hell we march Mighty soul, let there be hope Into the Eye of Heaven Eagles at a holy war Fly higher than the sun Stand up in the name of the God of heavy metal What do we live for？What do we fight for, tonight？ But the world is beautiful, worth fighting for Only have one thing on our mind Facing the fate, holy war Singing Hallelujah to save our majesty We are the metal warriors Fighting the darkness for brothers Shining blade and burning heart Into the Gates of Hell we march Immortal soul, let there be light Into the Eye of Heaven Eagles at a holy war Fly higher than the sun We are one for all and all for one forevermore What do we live for？What do we fight for, tonight？ But the world is beautiful, worth fighting for Only have one thing on our mind Facing the fate, holy war ----- lyrics: LOVEBITES music: Mao arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami)
welcome to the world of Lovebites the world of beautiful heavy, power, thrash metal. And welcome too in the wolfpack the Lovebites world fan base those who have been bitten by these incredible ladies.
Thank you for the warm and kind welcome! I have indeed been Lovebitten :D They truly are amazing! Thanks for watching and commenting, I really appreciate it! :D

I have no doubt! I was blown away by this track and from what I understand this is only the beginning for me with them. Very excited for the more Lovebites :D Thanks for watching and thank you for the comment! :D
Lovebites are a once in a generation band. You shold react to the live videos of 'Set the World on Fire', 'Break the Wall'. 'When Destinies Align', 'Signs of Deliverance' and for something different 'Edge of the World', Epilogue' and 'Swan Song' with the piano inttro.
Today your life has changed for the better - you just discovered Lovebites, the phenomenl heavy metal band that won the 2018 Metal Hammer Golden Gods award for best new band. Now you see why they won that award. Midori and Miyako will soon be considered one of the greatest guitar duos of all time, IMO. They totally blew me away the first time too, just as you were today. Wait until you see what they do in "Set the World on Fire". Do that one next: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-99zsH6iG_6c.html
Hi Chad! Oh yes it has indeed changed today! What an amazing band, all of them are masters of their craft. I was so taken back by the pure talent! :D Thanks for the recommendation, I will be sure to check it out! And thank you for watching :D
Your reaction has just been added to my list of all time greatest first time reactions to Lovebites. These ladies are phenomenal and leave everyone speechless because they are so freaking good, better than anything being played in the USA metal scene right now.
Love Bites is beyond description, as talented as any band I've ever heard in over 60 years of all forms of rock, jazz, blues, and classical music. Incredible!
Hope you don't mind me swearing - Lovebites is Holy Shit (oops, I mean War). Never heard them before, and so glad you introduced them to me. They are tight and talented.
I warned you but they never believe me 🤣🤣the best heavy metal band to come out in the last 30 years!! And this is just the tip of the iceberg, I've done my job, now follow the directions from the staff, or choose any other song, you can stop when you find a bad song, but good luck because I don't know any 🤣🤣we are the wolpack and we love Lovebites, greetings from Portugal 🐺🤘🐺🤘🐺
a lot of new reactions to LOVEBITES have guys saying they are getting goosebumps and try to show them. yours are the first i have actually seen ! you are officially lovebitten. believe me when i tell you the bumps never go away. especially after you hear the rest. most beautiful power metal band on earth with the best musicians all around. imo

Thank you so much for all of this! 🙏 Wow they have a MASSIVE following. Can't believe I didn't know about this. I'll be following all of these social pages! Thank you again, it's really kind of you to share!! 🙏🤘💪 Stay safe!! 🤘
You’ve just been introduced to the best band that has ever set foot in front of an audience. Period. 50 tracks, none the same as the last, all performed to this standard each and every time. Best band in existence. Did I say best? Yep. I’m 63 so I’m qualified to say that. Great reaction….because that’s how people who know talent when they hear it react to this song every single time. The best ….. in case you didn’t catch me the first two times….
I agree, they are absolutely amazing! Can't believe I haven't heard then before! Haha I 💯 believe you! So are so incredibly talented. I cannot wait for more of their music! This is going to be another very exciting journey🤘💪 Thank you for watching and thank you for the comments, I really appreciate it 🙏
I am 60 listen to them 3 weeks time last year and also the other japanese bands. Now i can feel my last nerve crack after 20 seconds. And i can listen to Arch Enemy & Jinjer & Rammstein all day and just feel relaxed.
@@norkannen here is a question for you, you have already posted your dislike for this, and other Japanese bands, so why are you still here, and you knew this was a band you didn't like in the 1st place, so why did you watch, there are billions of videos on RU-vid find something you like, or are you one of those that have to tell us you don't like, like your opinion matters, the rest of us don't care, and last but not least, why are you UPVOTING your own comments, not cool.
that was my first song i heard from these ladies, and shock doesnt describe it. these ladies are just as good or better than any band from the 70s or80s. i am officialy a member of the wolfpack, a i hate to say i told you so, but you are now one too. great reaction, keep listening, you will never stop.
Haha thanks Stephen, you did indeed tell me and you were not wrong! I'm so pumped for the next one💪🤘🙏 I would like to call myself part of the 🐺 pack soon🙏🤘💪
Congratulations on discovering the best band in metal. Lovebites won the Metal Hammer Golden God Award for Best New Band in 2018. Lovebites play anything from just metal all the way to thrash metal. If you loved this song you should check on of their heavier songs. I recommend "Set The World On Fire" link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-99zsH6iG_6c.html you will be blown away again with this song
Thank you for the watching and thank you for the comment. I will be sure to check out this track :D Thanks for the recommendation, much appreciated. They really are amazing!! :D
My favorite current metal band. I think Shadowmaker may be their best song, but it has some competition. Break the Wall and The Hammer of Wrath always blow me away. Have fun. They are talented with a diverse discography.
Thank you for watching and commenting, I really appreciate it! Thanks for the recommendation as well, that helps me navigate my next reactions to them😁 And I'm very excited! Thank you🙏💪🤘
I did not know anything about this band 2 weeks ago. And that happened. I listened to "Holy war". Their music went straight to the heart. I'm totally Lovebittened.
Incredible band. Edge of the world, Break the wall, Set the world on fire, all great songs and each live. Nemophila, and Band Maid also incredible bands to try.

Welcome to Wolf-Pack, LOVEBITES fans! 🐺
Great "first" reaction to this amazing ( Power.-Thrash.-Heavy.-) Metalband Lovebites ! Wolfpack salutes you !!! I really enjoy it ! Thank´s and stay save :-)
Welcome to the Wolfpack :) Now you should react to other their songs. And every new song will be better. But for the next you must check song "Set the world on fire". You will be impressed much more! Thank you for your reaction.
Thank you for welcoming me, I truly appreciate it! 🙏 I will certainly react to that song, might be my next one but either way I'm excited for more and more and more😁🙏 Thank you for watching and commenting🙏💪🤘
Welcome to the wolf pack my friend( we don't bite) but these ladies will chew you up. The best thing that could've happened to metal since the mid nineties. It's one he'll of a roller coaster 🎢 of a ride down this magical rabbit hole called Lovebites. Enjoy. Regards from an old but an extremely bitten weshman. 🐺🤘🤘🤘🤘👍👍😉🐺
Hey Christopher. Thank you very much! Ahh man, these ladies know how to smash it! Amazing! Surprised I only get to know them now, but In a way I'm happy cause it's a whole new band to discover! Thanks a mil man, much appreciated!! 🙏🙏🙏🤘 🐺
Thank you for featuring LOVEBITES in your video. I'm happy as one of their fans because they tend to be judged only by their appearance and underestimated without even listening to their performances. LOVEBITES is a new band founded by Miho (bass) and Haruna (drums) in 2016, but made their major debut in just half a year from the first stage and was active mainly in Japan / UK / EU. They have participated in major metal festivals in each country, including "WACKEN OPEN AIR 2018", and have already received high praise. In addition, they are participating in "DragonForce UK Tour 2019" at the offer of Herman Li and playing in 11 cities.
Thank you very much for watching🙏 I am so happy I got to listen to this song because now I want more and more of them! Absolutely amazing!! 💪🤘 Thank you for the information, I really appreciate it. It really helps me get to know the band better🙏🤘 I love the fact that they don't look like the typical metal band but when they start your mouth hangs open in complete surprise😁🙏🤘
@@marbenthesaffa At wacken open air 2018, the audience was surprised and unresponsive and listened quietly. at the moment when the last song "shadowmaker" was over, members of lovebites received great cheers and "lovebites call". you can see it at "wacken open air 2018 shadow maker".
Congratulations for discovering Lovebites and for the good reaction. By the way, you are the first "reactor" who actually succeeds in showing a "goosebumps". It's clearly visible, which no one has been able to properly demonstrate before (at least not in a reaction to Lovebites). From a technical point of view, a marvel. Good video editing, excellent sound balance. Very good everything. I wish there were more reaction channels with your technical level in video and audio.
Hi Leonardo! Wow, I am taken back by your kind words! Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! The goosebumps are real, I get very emotional about music, especially new, great and exciting music :D It makes me happy to hear this because the equipment I'm currently using is very budget so I'm happy to hear that its up there and that its working :D Thank you so much!! :D
@@marbenthesaffa Thank you. By the way, as some have already said, they are masters of live performances and many of us fans prefer these performances over music videos. Just a word of advice, stay away from any Bloodstock shows because they have horrible audio. The rest is up to you, if you're a metal fan you won't get any bad songs from this band. Power metal, thrash metal, hard rock, ballads, this band does all this and more. EDIT: It is the first time that I write this in any reaction channel but I think you should see this at some point, hopefully in some reaction. Of course, first the normal reaction of "Raise some Hell" and then this one, which is the only drum camera we have from Haruna. Here you can see how much she loves her work. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vtxjR0CZnjc.html
Haruna {drummer} is only 4`9", Asami {singer} is 4`10", Midori {blonde guitarist} is 4`11", Miho { bass guitarist) is 5`1", Miyako (black haired guitarist) is 5`2". All extremely talented Ladies !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lovebites put up some of their older songs that were on a different channel, albeit edited to remove the promotional bits that were from 2017. Shadowmaker is the one that cemented my admiration for this band. 🤘🐺🤘
South African to a fellow SA . Forced to listen to Kurd Darren shit on radio - check out The Warning ( 3 sisters from Mexico) , Band Maid and Baby Metal ( live !!🔥) The girls are angry and leading ... love your reaction . New sub
Hey Willem. Thanks bra! Hahaha Kurt Darren se moer🤣 Awesome bro, will check them out. I know baby metal very well but the rest I'll check out💪🤘 Thanks bra🙏🙏
Good evening! (Because Japan is at night now) Thank you for responding to Lovebites! If you like Lovebites, you'll surely like "Galneryus" and "Unlucky Morpheus". These are all Japanese bands, but all three bands have different characteristics. However, I think one thing they have in common is that your chin falls. こんばんは！(今、日本は夜なので) ラブバイツに反応してくれてありがとうございます！ ラブバイツを気に入ってくれたのなら、きっと「ガルネリウス」と「アンラッキーモルフェウス」も気に入ってもらえると思います。 これらは全て日本のバンドですが、この３つのバンドは全てそれぞれ違った特徴を持っています。 ただし、１つ共通している事は「貴方のアゴが落ちる事」だと思います。
Thank you very much for the comment and for watching my reaction! Thank you for the recommendations! I do appreciate it. I will definitely give them a listen😁💪🤘
And finally someone who knows how to pronounce "Divercity" . I loved your reaction to one of the best groups at this moment by the way. Hopefully they will come to Europe again soon.
@@marbenthesaffa Get your self a seatbelt and strap yourself in dude.. They are going to melt your face off.. In a good way.. You also need to do Aldious, Band maid and Gacharic spin.. Three more Japanese bands, All girls all smokin hot, and all brilliant.. You may not be ready..

Welcome to the world of Lovebites..... ...the best heavy metal band existing on planet earth 🌏 ....now. Five enchanting princesses with an aura of their own. Extremely skilled and spectacular musicians . Glory to Lovebites! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺 MIHO! MIHO! MIHO! 🐺🤘🔥🔥🔥
Lovebites is amazing! I like this much better than Babaymetal. I thought, at first, this was a cover of a Manowar song, just somehow harder. Nope, not a cover, and still very good! Thanks for showing them, Marben.
Hi William. They are indeed amazing!! Babymetal have their own sound and it's very different from them. I like babymetal but this is more up my alley in terms, of well, everything!🤣 These ladies are so incredibly talented and they'll soon become a daily listen for me! Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching! Hope to see you at the next one🤞🤘🙏
@@marbenthesaffa Almost forgot, when your done with this journey, you might try Dwarf Metal, Wind Rose. Italian group who do songs from Tolkien, Warhammer, anything dwarf.
Check out thunder vengeance, set the world on fire, break the wall, and if you want a music video instead of all live, shadowmaker is great. (It's also great live, of course)
Hey all Donald here 👋This is the kind of music you forget how fast your going down the highway with as your blasting it😆Absolutely love Love Bites! Found myself blasting this down the highway a few times already so I can attest to the truthfulness of my aforementioned statement haha. Slight Correction to my plugs though however😅 Midnight Munchies Manifesto is the handle of both the discord group, as well of the twitch of the VR online open mic I play at live every weekend 😁Come by and say hello 😀Thanks again for having me on Joel!
I so much enjoyed your reaction, kinda reminds me my first reaction back in time when I heard Swan Song - goosebumps+euphoria. I still have them both. Pls do more Lovebites reactions, wolfpack (Lovebites fans) we love them :) Oh, by the way - an Iron Maiden fan since the 80s, every time I try to play Senjutsu I end up playing Lovebites. Cheers! :)
@@marbenthesaffa thats really funy because i was like u, that was the first song i listened from this metal godesses and .... thats still incredible i am 43 years old, and their music make me feel like when i was 12 ans listening to iraon maiden judas priest etc
Lovebites *can* hit you off guard like a freight train at full speed, filled to the roof with perfect Metal, creativity, and joy of playing. They are just u n b e l i e v a b l e. You are left speechless, and in awe. I know your face expression and experience all too well, for I had it myself, just 5 weeks ago, when I got to know them, like you do now. 3 songs later, I belonged to The Wolf Pack (their international fan base) already. 😂 Lovebites are a world phenomenon, music history in the making. It is as simple as that. Anybody who thinks to have some clue of Metal should be supposed to know them, like you heard of Mozart, Bach, Queen, AC/DC. 🐺
Huge Iron Maiden fan here. From the 80s. You’ve just reacted to my new favourite metal band 😉 More than 40 songs, all really good or phenomenal. Welcome to the Wolfpack!! 🐺🤘🏻 You may enjoy “Break the Wall” by them ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5Pc0XK0lNmU.html Ps. Up the Irons! 😅
Hey man, yess another Maiden fan. That makes me happy!😁🤘 Thanks bro, I really appreciate the welcome and the recommendation! Another deep rabbit hole to explore and I'm pumped🤘 Thanks bud🙏💪
Alessandro, he is also a maiden fan, at least he wore a maiden t-shirt in another reaction (I think nightwish) when I suggested to him to listen to Lovebites, I even told him about "the crusade" the Lovebites tribute to iron maiden's " aces high" and " holy war ",as you should calculate it won't come out so fast 🤣🐺🤘🐺🤘🐺
If one band was left to represent Heavy Metal...I'd be thrilled if it were them, and surprised as hell if it wasn't. First time I saw then I got goosebumps as well.
I have a very wide taste in metal and I have to agree, they are definitely ul there for me🙏🤘🤘🤘 Goosebumps all the way. If a band can do that for me it's a tell tale sign that I love them🤘🙏🙏🙏
Welcome to the best new metal band to come along in decades. In their five years of existence as a band, they set a standard that easily puts them on a par with the greatest bands of metal’s golden age. Other reviewers have described them as alien superheroes disguised as young women, angels sent to save us, princesses of metal, and angry bridesmaids. Whatever the description, I think one can say they have given metal a badly needed makeover and maybe a new lease on life. They have themselves said that part of their mission is to save heavy metal from darkness and obscurity. Some background: They were formed in 2016 from the remnants of a legendary all-girl Japanese metal band called Destrose (yes, all-girl metal has been a thing in Japan since at least 1981). Miho (bass, chief headbanger and soul of the band) had a vision of a new band in the style of the greatest European bands of the golden age of metal. She recruited her former bandmate Haruna (drums, 4'9" “pocket nuclear reactor”); they needed two world-class guitarists, and so they went and found Midori and Miyako, who were with other bands. The whole group then found Asami, the singer, who was doing soul and blues at the time (she also trained in ballet). Miyako has composed most of their music, with Miho composing a lot of their thrashier songs in collaboration with Mao, the lead composer of another band called Lightbringer. Midori has also been getting into the act, and they regularly perform a song written by Haruna as well. Asami writes most of the lyrics. They studied all the great historical metal bands going back to Purple and Sabbath, through Maiden, Priest, Metallica, Helloween, Slayer etc. They toured with Dragonforce in 2019, and word from those in attendance is that next time around, it will be the ladies headlining. They have incorporated some of the best of each of those bands into their arsenal, and have created a sound that is fresh and cutting edge while paying tribute to the old masters. This is one of their usual first songs for reactors, and rightly so--you get a good sense of the band. They do everything from soulful power ballads to heavy thrash. Almost every song includes face-melting solos by Miyako and Midori. The two guitarists are quite different in style and tone. Midori (blonde ponytail) is the extrovert and speed demon; Miyako is the introvert, with the more soulful feel (though she can also shred like a demon). Midori uses a cleaner tone, Miyako uses more distortion, pinch harmonics and pedal effects. The contrast makes their duets rich and dynamic. It doesn’t hurt that either one can smoke most of the shredders in the classic metal bands. As another reviewer said, "It seems criminal these two are allowed to be in the same band." Here are more clips you should check out: Their most recently posted live clips, “Set the World on Fire” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-99zsH6iG_6c.html and “Don’t Bite the Dust” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oHnKGEj1CMc.html, which are both from their recently released concert DVD “Heavy Metal Never Dies”. "Edge of the World" and "We the United", back to back: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sl0-U-ykJCU.html They form an incredible journey from darkness and despair to light and hope. Also, “Empty Daydream”, which starts as a ballad and becomes a real rocker: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lXh_uMM94jU.html. Miyako is also a professional-level classical concert pianist, and was headed for a career in classical music, before picking up the guitar. If you want to see what she can do on the piano, watch “Swan Song” WITH the prelude, which is Chopin’s “Revolutionary Etude”. Miyako wrote “Swan Song” using elements from several classical pieces including the Etude. This link should work: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WBhtqgiXEA4.html. For a thrasher with heavy Metallica vibes, “Break the Wall” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-G021aP2ao6Y.html includes two gorgeous and completely contrasting solos by M&M. For a heart-stopping ballad, “Epilogue” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1ynnXDfEnnY.html (this includes a second song, your choice whether or not to react to both) Finally, while you will sometimes hear you should only react to live clips, actually their MV’s are epic and worth seeing. Here are three of the most spectacular: "When Destinies Align" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hLFelI93VkM.html "Glory to the World" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--wJtD2XEXH4.html "Winds of Transylvania" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HsE4Ub_Pjh8.html. You'll get lots of suggestions, just one thing: don't bother with Bloodstock footage, the sound quality is poor. Best to take suggestions with actual links. Also, you can’t go wrong with any of their official clips. Welcome to the Wolf-Pack!
Thank you so much for all the information! I can completely agree with them by, I almost want to say, saving metal and giving it a fresh new and very welcomes change. This is exactly what we need🙏💪 I really appreciate the effort, thank you and I hope to see you at the next one of my Lovebites journey! I have indeed been lovebitten! 😁💪🤘🙏 Thank you for welcoming me!! 💪
@@marbenthesaffa All good except one detail. "Epilogue" has its own version. It is the same but without the second song, for individual reactions... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JIAJYBuuKGM.html
I’m not much for metal but Lovebites is just plain awesome. I saw Iron Maiden live in 1983 and they definitely awaken the echoes from those days. They are metal goddesses. Next? - “Stand & Deliver” - official MV Japan’s female musicians - there must be something in the water (plus music education starts in pre-school, is compulsory and extensive throughout their primary/secondary education) - there are many excellent all-female hard rock and metal bands from Japan 🇯🇵 you need to check out. Nemophila- Dissension Hanabie- We Love Sweats Bridear - Ignite But, as a Rock guy, I believe that Japan’s BAND-MAID is the best Rock band on the planet 🌏 today. Move over Muse, Tool, Foos…the Maids are just more fun , more heartfelt, and more exciting imho 🤷🏻♂️and still bring a very high level of musicianship and musical expression. Try - “Domination” - official live video - “Dice” - official MV, then - “Dice & Hate?” - unofficial YT video Then 100+ great song. Take care and rock out and enjoy your journey! 🇯🇵🤘🏼🎸🥁🎤🔥🎼😎✌🏼
I see you already know about "Babymetal". Thats not a bad start to dive into the awsome world of japanese female Rock & Metal music. Now you know about Lovebites, the Godesses of Metal, but there is waiting more for you: - Band-Maid - Best Hard Rock Band next to The Mexican sisters of "The Warning" - Nemophila - Best Metalcore Band There are much more highly addictive Japanese bands, but I would recommend these for the start.
Thank you very much for the recommendations!! I really appreciate it!💪🤘 Also thanks for watching and the comment. I will be sure to check out these bands as well🤘🙏💪
FYI we're waiting for new Bassist audition for this band, cause unfortunately MIHO the Founder and Bassist of this band decided to Quit for reason, but they has new Album already to Release soon
Next live songs Set The World On Fire, Raise Some Hell, The Hammer Of Wrath, Scream For Me, Another all female Japanese Metal Bands you need to watch and react, NEMOPHILA - songs Revive, Dissension, Raitei, Hypnosis, HANABIE - song We Love Sweets BAND-MAID - live songs Freedom, Domination, Play, Thrill...
Thank you very much for the recommendations! I like receiving these lists from their fans because I know they're going to be good! Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment🙏🤘💪
Howzit boet....I'm a fellow Saffa living in Japan. I saw them live in Osaka in 2019. They were phenomenal. One of the best live bands I have ever seen.
@@marbenthesaffa Absolutely amazing. Actually Japan has an incredible all women metal and rock band scene at the moment. Most Japanese girls learn a music instrument since they are young and many become damn near prodigies. But you really need to check out this explosion of Japanese all women bands. Aside from Lovebites there is Aldious, Band Maid, Nemophila, Seisega to name a few....
@@Sabundy I've actually checked out Nemophila the other day and they're amazing!! So much talent in Japan its crazy! So much more awesome music to discover!!
@@marbenthesaffa Lekker man. Do yourself a favour and check out Aldious "We Are", and Seisega "Ride On" music videos. I think both will blow you away too.
