LOVEBITES - Holy War [Live at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020] *FIRST TIME REACTION* 

Thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 Lovebites is one of the best bands in our country. We say "Japan is the country obsessed by Rock Music". The history is very long and the obsession started in 1966 when Beatles visited Japan and held 5 concerts at Budokan. Speaking of hard rock / heavy metal music, a number of bands started to come to Japan since as early as 1970s : Led Zeppelin / Grand Funk Railroad (1971), Deep Purple (1972), Queen (1975), Kiss (1977), Cheap Trick / Van Halen / Scorpions (1978), Judas Priest (1978/79) and so on. Now, any type of rock can be enjoyed here, especially by many all-female or women-fronted bands. They are daughters of American / European rock, for sure. (Many are grand-daughters in terms of age.) Uh-oh, we also say "Japan is the country obsessed by Jazz". It had started earlier than rock 😄

Haruna "little BIG Engine" drums (4'9"; 1.45m) Asami "The One & Only Voice" vocals/piano (4'10"; 1.47m) Midori "Crazy Shredder" guitar (4'11"; 1.5m) Miyako "The Golden Touch" guitar/piano (5'2"; 1.58m) Miho "Natural Born Head-Banger" bass (5'1"; 1.55m) nicknames given by the band "Break The Wall" for a bit of Thrash + transition: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5Pc0XK0lNmU.html 🐺

First time I am on your RU-vid channel. Nice First Time Reaction on the band Lovebites. I have listened to them before, but now with the video it was really nice. Maybe you know or don't know, but the band Loudness, also from Japan, is worth listening too as well. Thanks for posting!

Bloody Lovebites 🐺 I love'em

Here for my daily Lovebites fix 🐺

My friends you have discovered the Metal Goddesses....it's a good day ! LoveBites is just one of the many, all female bands from Japan & they are all ridiculously good !! Try, Band-Maid, " Play " live & Nemophila, " Adabana. " ❤️🎙🎸🎹🥁😎👌 As for LoveBites try, " Chopin Intro + Swan Song. "

Midori and Miyako-in my opinion one of the strongest guitar duo in modern metal.I have been following this band since their debut album and...They are fucking AWESOME.

Thanks for giving these ladies a look. There's a lot of genre diversity in LOVEBITES' catalog. I have all of their studio and live releases and didn't find a song I dislike. Their talent is always on display and my only issue - if you can really call it an issue - is that Miho, the bass guitarist who left the band in 2021, wasn't featured musically as often as I would have liked. I would say that since I'm primarily a bass player, though.

Midori, the blond guitarist you noticed with the strong arms, is a body builder and world class musician. The other guitarist, Miyako, is also a world class concert pianist.

Try "Break The Wall" from the same concert. More thrashy..

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 SOLO: midori 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 SOLO: miyako / midori / both 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) from Electric Pentagram 2020

Thanks for reacting to amazing Lovebites and spreading the word; they deserve more recognition Welcomed to the mind-blowing world of Lovebites. These women are extremely talented, skillful and versatile exceptional musicians. They really shine in their live performances. Their main influences are Iron Maiden, Metallica, Slayer, Helloween, Angra, Judas Priest, Dragonforce, and even Gary Moore, but they have been developing their unique style. Miyako is also a concert-level classical pianist. Asami used to sing R&B, soul and jazz before she joined Lovebites. Those twin lead guitar solos by Midori and Miyako are already legendary, in just six years. Currently the band is in the process to announce the new bassist. In an interview, Miho (ex bassist) said that they wanted to play as heavy as men but keeping their femininity. My next suggestions are “Break the wall”, “The Awakening/Hammer of wrath”, “Set the world on fire”, “Shadowmaker”, “Raise some hell”, “Scream for me”, “When destinies align”, “The crusade”, “Frozen serenade”, “Spellbound”, “Don’t bite the dust”, “Winds of Transylvania”, “Edge of the world”, “Epilogue”. For piano: “Swan song”, “Empty daydream” (all live). Lineup: Haruna - Drums Miho - Ex Bass, backing vocals Midori - Lead & rhythm guitar, backing vocals Miyako - Lead & rhythm guitar, keyboards, classical piano, backing vocals Asami - Lead vocals, some piano

If you'd like a ballad try "Epilogue" with a Garry Moore style solo and amazing vocal by Asami

This band is not just power metal. They play all types of genres. Check out one of their heavy songs "Set the world on fire". ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-99zsH6iG_6c.html. This should blow you away.

When I first heard them two years ago I thought they were what would happen if you mixed Priest, Maiden add a sprinkling of Testament and then buffed out any rough edges and added classical music and prom dresses then lit the fuse...🔥🧨

Believe it or not but before Lovebites was named Lovebites, their original name was Powerslaves named after Iron Maiden's album Powerslave. I recommend "Set The World On Fire" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-99zsH6iG_6c.html If you liked Holy War, Set The World On Fire takes it to the next level 🤘

The good news is All of LoveBites songs are this Epic. 50 plus songs. Power Metal,Thrash Metal, Melodic Metal...They nail ii with authority. Each member is a Master Musician and it shows. Welcome too the WolfPack.

Thank you so much for the great reaction! 👍 Lovebites forever!!! ❤️

Welcome gentelmen.. Great reaction to these beautiful tallented ladies.. 49 songs to go, and they are all this good and better.. ENJOY!! Oh and the guitarist with the biceps you called out is called Midori, and she is a fitness fanatic.. There are plenty more bands from Japan you need to check out.. Try out Hagane, with the song Super villan.. 7 minutes of Face melting awesomeness.. Best wishes from France..

"Heavier Iron Maiden" is a good description for Lovebites. Listen to The Crusade or Golden Destination from them. Both are even more Iron Maiden-esque songs. But that's also only a small part of what they have to offer. There is a huge amount of variety to be found in their discography.

Welcome to the Wolfpack. Much more to come....

The dude in the glasses has a new favorite band. 😆 You want more? Hold on to your ass. There's a LOT more! You just went down a big rabbit hole. I'm not even going to recommend songs. Just do a search, and start watching! Wolfpack is here for LOVEBITES! 🤘🏻🐺🤘🏻

Lovebites are usually Power Metal but they also play Thrash Metal and a few other genres. The former bass player, Miho is a huge fan of Iron Maiden and Steve Harris. Their song, 'The Crusade' is a tribute to 'Aces High' by Iron Maiden.

Iron Maiden is an influence of theirs. When you made a comment on on the arms of their guitarist, you had a good eye. Midori is actually a bodybuilder. I'm glad you've been bitten by them. Welcome to The Wolfpack. If you'd like to do another...pick anyone, lol

Look at thge guns on the one chick (Midori) she took 6th in their bodybuilding competition

I enjoyed yr reaction,,, Try "Set the World on Fire" then enjoy all their other tracks. Lovebites has no bad tracks... The Iron Maidens hahaha Love it

Im a Maiden Fan since over 40 years, but this girls are next level! They are all so hyper talented! They have finally found now a new bassist, i hope they will do a european tour an come to us to Vienna :)

Great reaction, this Band is fantastic, they play different Metal genres they have an absurd talent and they are a surprise for those who listen to them the first time, in their discography there are no bad songs even one, I love Lovebites thank you for this reaction, we support this band ... their return is imminent! 🤘🏼🎸🥁🎤🐺💖🇯🇵🇮🇹

Finally guys! This is one of the best metal bands in decade!

You just have to love this kind of first reactions!! 😃 Welcome to the world of the best metal band

Great first reaction to Lovebites guys! It's definitely one of my favorite bands in Japan and this song and performance are just amazing! I recommend that you can react to Japan's Band Maid, "Domination" or "Freedom" See you at the next! 🤟🦊🔥🔥🔥🔥

Here for LOVEBITES. Rewrote the book on how to play metal 🤘🐺🤘

Thanks to Pentagenarian--I think he just discovered this band in the last few days and clearly they had an impact. Now: 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 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” (official name Étude Opus 10, No. 12 in C minor). 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 Slayer and 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 four of the most spectacular: "Shadowmaker" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Brmoln5Gxus.html This is the song that blew up and melted faces all over the world "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!

There are many female metal bands in Japan. Enjoy ❗️

Check out their song "Empty Daydream". Your heads will explode.

Yep you guys nailed it, a much heavier Iron Maiden. They have been called the female Iron Maiden and the female DragonForce but they also slay it when they do Thrash. The band has played all the major European festivals including Wacken and has toured the U.K. with DragonForce but has not been to the U.S. yet.

"that arm" belongs to Midori, 2 years before she began bodybuilding this year. Has "placed" in her first 2 Bikini Fitness Competitions her first 6 months of working out. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VuQISlYCDAg.html is fanmade featuring her "fitness" 💚 "midori" is the Japanese word for GREEN 💚

THE MAIDENS QUEENS OF HEAVY METAL 🤘🏻🐺👑LOVEBITES

Haruna on drums is from outer space. Absolute legend.

Miyako is a DEAN Guitars Artist ( Icon USA Faded denim🎸ML switchblade custom run🎸Signature Original model V USA) 🎸Midori is ESP Music Institute Osaka graduate🏆 🤘🐺🤘

Check out set the world on fire, thunder vengeance, and break the wall. These are all thrashier and less power metal (though the solos are still pretty power metal). If you want a mv instead of live, shadowmaker is epic power metal at its finest.

Kinda takes your breath away, huh!! This is an excellent intro performance but are better; "Set the World on Fire" and "Swan Song with Etude Chopin" both are live. Miyako's Dean has been customized, By Her. Custom Fishman pickups and converted to active vs passive. Just to make you feel worst Miyako is self taught on the guitar. She has been playing piano since she was 3 yo!! There are 200+ Rock/Metal bands in Japan, about half all Female. So you have a lot catching up to do. Some suggestions: Band Maid - "Freedom" They are on tour in the US Now. Nemophila - "Dissension". Playing at the Aftershock Festival now. Unlucky Morpheus - "Black Pentagram" Aldious - "We Are" Mary's Blood - "Marionette" Hanabie - "We Love Sweets" You will need seat belts.

All glory to LOVEBITES and all my brothers in sisters of The Wolf Pack everywhere. Been worshipping at their grace since 2017.

Next songs: Break the Wall, Set The World On Fire, Shadowmaker, When Destinies Align, The Crusade, Raise some Hell, Rising, .........

Try their song "Break the wall", Midori's guitar solo is outstanding and one of the best I've seen in a long time

This song is more like classic heavy metal with some thrashy riffs not power metal per se but no matter the genre lovebites are a great band

Midori is a bodybuilder hence the guns.

👏👏👏👏 Do more LOVEBITES. Any LOVEBITES. 👍👍👍👍

You've got a long road ahead of you guys. An absolute gem around every turn.

That's it.Because the long History of western Rock Metal Jazz etc.had played in Japan.It had definitely turned into a monster of so many music legend's.

Holy War? Holy @#$%!! I am ready for a cigarette ... amazing ... wow ... Anyway, first timer, here. Will NOT be the last. Great job, gents. Subbed. Cheers from the land Downundah \m/ 0_o \m/

Talking about iron maiden the crusade is one a heavily inspired from aces high which is iron maiden's song..

Japanese Metal is ten times better than anything America and Britain, has ever put out !

Welcome to the Lovebites show!! Miyako & Midori are the best guitar duo going today, if not ever. Your reference to Maiden (heavier/better) - perfect. I've been listening to metal since I heard Zeppelin in 1971. Lovebites is my favorite band. If you like pure thrash, three more songs from this same amazing concert - Break the Wall (thrashiest most Slayeresque song): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5Pc0XK0lNmU.html The Awakening/The Hammer of Wrath (encore opening): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-otJZPUCwyOM.html Thunder Vengeance (concert opening): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yWE7PqCpGi4.html

I loved the reaction! It was very funny. Please more and more Lovebites! 🎸🎸🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🤘🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Holy. Shit. Reminds me of some early Arch Enemy. I'm not a powermetal guy either, but this is incredible.

Great reaction to a great band! For a straight ahead thrash song with two very different guitar solos check out Break The Wall. For one of their masterpieces check out Edge Of The World. The dark haired guitarist is even better on the piano. These ladies are all world class musicians and writers. You will enjoy going down this rabbit hole.

This reaction was as epic as the guitar shredding that was going on in the video. Loved how, by the end of it, Ron was won over by a power metal song.

Love watching people get their first Japanese hickey!!! THANKS WELCOME TO THE WOLFPACK!!!!🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🔥🤟🔥🤟👍🙏🙏

hearing your comments on playing guitar, it didn't take the black haired one 20 years to be that good, she is a top notch piano player and didn;t start playing till she was 18

Right on! Keep going with Lovebites! You won’t be disappointed. There are many more great bands in Japan. Enjoy! 🤘

Welcome to lovebites, thay are queen of metal,so talented,do you know that they rock out with high hills

Yeesss!!! Queens of ( Power Thrash Heavy) Metal ! Great"first"reaction! Wolfpack salutes you 😎

I think the guitarist with the arms is a professional bodybuilder...

amazing how many times i've heard - " power metal isn't quite my thing " - and then they see this and say " well let me rephrase that". LOVEBITES are truly unique due to the jawdropping talent and their arsenal of songs covers about every other genre as well. you have much to explore and many journeys to take with them

great reaction folks, keep on reacting more Lovebites because these ladies are world class talents.

Correction, Haruna, the drummer has three pentagram "cymbals" that spin.

Next one: Swan song with Chopin intro!!!!!!!!!

Iron Maiden was my favorite band for a long time, then I heard Lovebites and they took that tourch from them and are running with it.

495th Thumbs Up!! Well I didn't know it was possible but my ears just came like a lot!!!

Welcome to the Lovebites rabbit hole. Better late than never!!! Strap in boys. These girls can rock!

Hey can we get a New Wave of Heavy Metal from Japan?

Careful, fellas...the Japanese rock/metal rabbit-hole is deep, wide, and fucking spectacular. 🇯🇵 🔥🍻🤘

idk if you guys reacted to the band called 'Bandmaid' if not please do, they're also all female Japanese rock band 👍 you guys won't be disappointed 😁

LOVEBITES🔥🤘🐺🤘🔥

You guys would love Maximum the Hormone, Babymetal, Nemophila and Band-Maid!!! All great Japanese musicians!!!!

They have some trash metal songs like "Thunder Vengeance" which bassist Miho was inspired to write when she saw Slayer playing live.

You all def need to also check out the all female metal japanese band called Nemophila and their song Dissension or Revive!

Fun reaction! You can't go wrong with any of the songs from these amazing ladies!

Lovebites isn't just power metal. You have to see them do thrash metal. Do one of these two next: Break the Wall: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5Pc0XK0lNmU.html Set the World on Fire: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-99zsH6iG_6c.html

react to lovebites " set the world on fire "🤟

This band has no peer. You ain’t seen nothing yet🤘🏽

Thanks for checking out bands from japan, there is a lot of great music coming from there. I also saw you guys checked out nemophila as well, if you are planning to do more reactions to japanese bands please check out galneryus (brutal spiral of emotions live and angel of salvation live) and unlucky morpheus (dignity of spirit live and angreifer live). And if you are generally checking out more bands from different countries please check out unprocessed they are a german band and sadly not that big, but their music is really good although their old music differs a lot of from their todays music in terms of genre, but both of their styles are really great.

If you want to hear something that sounds very Iron Maiden from their discography, I recommend: "Golden Destination", "The Crusade", or "Don't bite the dust". If you want to hear something thrashy, try "Break the Wall", "Thunder Veangeance", or "Set the World on Fire". Personally, I recommend "Edge of the World", "Swan Song", or "Frozen Serenade", which are more power metal

Quick search says the bassist left in 2021.

A little campy, but you damn sure cannot deny the absolute talent of these ladies.

Amazing as this may sound, Lovebites has barely surfaced in Japan, let alone the rest of the world. It’s thanks to reaction channels that I stumbled upon them almost two years ago, and it’s reaction channels that will be their greatest advertisement. They were formed in 2016 by the bass player, a big fan of Steve Harris. The sound she wanted was a more thrashier Maiden. Since then they have just advanced exponentially in musical terms, yet it’s all metal. A good example is this very track. There is a live version from a Covid restricted show in Tokyo a little over 12 months after this. The improvement is noticeable. And this from a band whose catalogue stood at 3 albums and 2 EP’s when this version you watched was recorded. Personally, I think your next Lovebites reaction should be “Epilogue” (link below). It showcases them at the other extreme of their range, and then there are over 40 more songs that are between those two points. I’m 62, and they are, without question, and I’m proud to say this without a second’s hesitation, THE best band, in every sense of the word, that I have ever heard. My life now basically revolves around them, news of them and, every evening (U.K. time) I check out new reactions and encourage further support of the ladies because the fact they aren’t household names should be a matter for the U.N. ! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JIAJYBuuKGM.html

I enjoyed your reaction to this great band. I love seeing the shock on people's faces when they see them for the first time. Since one of you don't care for power metal, you might want to check out some of their thrash songs. A couple of suggestions for you: "Set the World on Fire," and "Break the Wall" ( will remind you of Slayer with an Iron Maiden type break in the middle." FYI... they've been on hiatus for about a year and a half because their bass player quit the band. Yesterday (Oct. 21st) they introduced their new bass player. She's only 20 years old but is considered a prodigy on the bass. It should be illegal for one band to have 4 musicians of this quality. Peace!

Finally you got to Love Bites. I am looking forward to see more🤘🏽💥

Good catch eye! First, Midori is a gym freak and has even entered body-building competitions during the band's hiatus. Secondly, Dean didn't have woodgrain models (like Miyako wanted) and it was custom-made for her as she is endorsed by Dean.

Welcome to the world of Japanese metal😂

It was cool to see you guys check out this gem of a band. They're not as widely known in the West as some other foreign bands but are so talented. So I know Ron doesn't like power metal normally, but have either of you heard of Unleash the Archers? Brittany Slays is absolutely ridiculous and I think you guys would love the guitar solos they do. They also have great videos that can be comedic at times. I'd start with Abyss if you haven't checked them out yet just to see if their structure of power metal maybe resonates a bit better with you Ron. All of their albums tell a story too which is pretty awesome.

LOVEBITES RULES!!!

Guys your reaction to this masterpiece of metal is my favorite of all the reactions about them. Your genuine appreciation mimics my own. My first view of them gobsmacked me! I could not fully understand the enormity of their talent. It blew me away. I am several decades old and love all music...but these ladies to me are the ultimate metal band. Yes their foundation is on the shoulders of metal masters but they don't just stand on their shoulders. THEY TOWER OVER THEM!

if you like what Japan has to offer, Band-Maid, Domination live will probably convince you that Japan has some of the best rock/metal acts right now. Band Maid is more hard rock than metal, but they are equally talented in their own right AND TOURING THE U.S AS WE SPEAK! Ya miiight want to check them out... and then rush to get a ticket lol.

Great react to the greatest F band there is and don't worry, their catalog is deep and diverse! I'm sure I trolled your reactions at some point to give the Goddesses in white a try. Lol In addition to the great recommendations already listed: Thunder Vengeance live 2020 - show opener, and a F banger...reminds me of old school Metallica (ride the lightning days) and Anthrax. The opening is off the chain...been a long time since I've seen that type of intro. Shadowmaker MV - Epic power metal with one of the fastest riffs you'll ever hear, with relentless double kick by 4' 9" Haruna and of course, out of this world solos / harmonization A Frozen Serenade live - MASTERPIECE with some surprises, if there was a playlist of the best songs in music history...this would make the cut. Imho Epilogue live - A ballad that opens with the 2 bad ass lead guitarists (M&M) on acoustic. An emotionally driven song with great influences. 4 tremendous songs that clearly show they can do it all in metal. Enjoy! 🦊🐺
