Miyako is just the cool one. It's her character. She will never move around as much as Midori (the blonde guitarist), but both are incredible shredders.
Love it when you Love on the LOVEBITES. Best power metal band in 30 years, being a LOVEBITES fanatic and long member of their Wolf pack, I can tell ya it ain't cheap to have everything they've released imported to FLORIDA, lol. But it's been worth every penny. The Cds were reasonable, but getting my hands on those live DVDs was some CA$H..lol The whole 5 of a Kind show will just make your metal heart cry in joy.
Yeah, as Rick said you definitely want to check out Raise Some Hell from the same show to see them really using the stage. But everything from this show is amazing. Edge of the World is a song I think you'd enjoy too, as it goes through a lot of change from start to finish.
I hope these girls will bring forth the revival of a sound and style that has been almost lost... they're living and breathing incarnation of 80's power metal and heavy metal gods (goddesses?) and they deserve to be heard. I haven't been this exited about any band in years...
Hi there guys. I'm glad you like this band, I agree it is getting tough to find songs because of RU-vid taking them down. But there are people who seem to find links to songs. here is a few songs to look out for. Raise some Hell, Edge Of The World, Signs Of Deliverance, Under A Red Sky. Some of the influences you have mentioned are there along with Iron Maiden. But keep looking though, like a lot of Japanese Female bands they have fans all around the World. This Pro-shot Video is one of Three concert DVD's made since 2018. Five Of A Kind (2020) of which this song is taken was Filmed in February this year just prior to lock down. The other two DVD's are called Battle In The East (2018) and Daughters Of The Dawn (2019) but they really are a class act.
Glad you guys are back into Lovebites and Band-Maid. I watched their live stream they did recently to celebrate three years of their first album and albeit it was in a studio setting and you can feel them missing the audience they were spectacular. Miyako again with her simultaneous playing of guitar and keyboards always puts a smile. Lovebites are more like Classical Orchestra, the best band on the planet currently. After watching Epilogue the best ballad in past 30 years and in my opinion top 5 of all time and the Signs of Deliverance (Zepp Version) where Midori and Miyako walk the catwalk then do dual guitar with overhand tapping in perfect harmony solidified them as the best band. Right after them Band-Maid, Scandal and Nemophila are topping my list. I watched their live shows as well. If a J-Rock festival was made with all those bands and added BabyMetal, Aldious, Doll$box, Unlucky Morpheus, Wagakki Band and One OK Rock I'd be going no matter where it is and how much it costs. Ok, I'd go to Japan to watch them individually if this pandemic isn't in the way.
The funniest thing is all the people were passing by in front of insanely shredding guitar. They just thought a small Asian chick's playin' guitar....they needed the name, not the sound.
This was from their 5 of a kind bluray and the second song of a 19 song set and as for them moving around it depends on the pace of the song they have a song from this concert called Raise some hell (the video is on RU-vid) were they really move around on stage and engage the crowd ...anyway great reaction guys keep up the good work and stay safe.

Yeah guys they rockin hard. Also if you don't know their last album Electric pentagram from this year is nominated for one of the best 20 metal albums for 2020. At the moment Lovebites are the best all female power metal band in the world. Now if you want to see different performance from them just check the songs Rise some hell We the United, Shadowmaker, Thunder vengeance, Break the wall, Hammer of wrath, Dancing with the devil. They are from the same concert Five of kind in Zepp Diversity Tokyo. And another one from Daughters of the down 2019 year the song Epilogue. Enjoy it.
Not just the riff, I can hear Megadeth on various Midori solos, fast, wild and a little bit chaotic, like Mustaine in the 80´s and mid 2000´s (The System Has Failed). Thanks for another Lovebites song \m/
Japanese market caters to uberfans, so every release has 2-3, or 6 versions, instrumental version, live at Xmas version, includes our very first show version, that kind of thing. But yes, in 2.5 yrs they released 40 songs and Wacken dvd makes 4. Battle in the east also 2018 was songs from Awakening Abyss (1st full length, also had two EPS) with deluxe version of clockwork immortality (album 2, pentagram is 3); Daughters of Dawn is 2019, songs from album 2; Five of a Kind is Jan 2020, songs from #3. Next up, 5th live will be release of the livestream of third anniversary performance of Awakening from Abyss. They’re pros, not just screwing around with studio time!
Guys 2 songs that really show off this groups insane talent Empty Daydream (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lXh_uMM94jU.html), where you have Miyako starting out on the piano (great concert quality) and then the usual Lovebites driving sound and Scream for Me (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9Og4gvSUmCo.html) where Midori and Miyako just go back and forth!!! Shout out to Haruna/drums who drive this Lamborghini from start to finish and never seems to let up or skip a beat. Great reaction as usual and these women have only been together 4 short years so look out!!!! The Wacken and Bloodstock 2018 shows are really lousy audio quality (shocked at Wacken which is usually the gold standard) so go with the the 2019 or 2020 LIVE shows for a much better experience!!! BTW I would like to see the guys running around in HIGH HEELS and playing anywhere this good (LOL)!!!!!
You found an excellent backdrop photo of the Lovebites, ladies. I am guessing it is an earlier photo as I have not seen them wear those outfits on any of the live shows or music videos. Herman Li, from Dragonforce, promotes them and although this is speculation on my part, had 2020 not had this virus thing, they may of well had a promotional tour for Electric Pentagram, which may of taken in some of USA. Remember that Band Maid, became far more popular outside Japan, thanks to RU-vid and them being able to tour, with an early visit to USA.
Wonderful reaction and giving them the love and recognition they deserve. You guys have fallen behind last year it was Battle in the East and Daughters of the Dawn. This year it is five of a kind. Well they do have a lot of influences from the masters of yesteryear. No they have not been touring here in the states yet it was a plan but this pandemic happened. Miyako, Midori and Miho have been to California to the Namm shows
@@DavidMISAMISAMISACook that is where many instrument and gadgets companies get together to show new and upgrade equipment on display and try out from sound engineering to modified amps peddles guitars and so on
its funny how you mentioned Halestorm at the beginning, all the girls are fans of Halestorm, before they actually formed into a band and had their first try-out, they played a few covers and the best one was Love bites (so do i) and they loved it so much they freaking named the band after the song. later on, at a festival they even meet Halestorm, played together and created a song inspired by Halestorm - Raise some HELL, which should be the next reaction, thank you very much
Thanks for reacting. Please consider there small women with big guitars and on heels. And just let miyako(the guitarist with black hair) be 😅. Try "raise some hell" or "scream for me by lovebites ".
Lovebites is just not only heavy Metal. It's bloody fuckin' HEAVY METAL! Watch out Heavy Metal duuudes...you're gonna be run over by chicks!....big time. Stampede!

U fellas need to also check out, ALDIOUS ( We Are ), and BRIDEAR ( Bloody Bride, these all Japanese female bands also kick that ass, they shred, great vocals, and u know about Japanese drummers, whew, so just check em out, I don't see any other reaction pod-casts doing those two bands, they are heavier than BAND-MAID
I heard that this concert was 1 hour and 45 minutes long! That explains completely why the drummer looked like she wasn't really putting effort into it... she's small as heck so she needs to conserve all her stamina so she can last the whole concert. So it's purely that, being highly, highly efficient to be able to pull that off with songs of that intensity. And even then it didn't SOUND like she wasn't hitting them hard enough... it's all about technique. I tip my hat off to her...
Guys, would you like to check out newer Wagakki band song "Sun wheel"? Don't give up on them. I can't remember if you did "Ignite". All are on their new label, so no copy right strikes are expected. They also released the full version of "Bring me to life" and the new song with Amy "Sakura rising", just to let you know. But i recommend "Sun wheel" first, for true Wagakki experience.
This Saturday World premiere e-viewing event "LIVE AT HOME 2" (Live Blu-ray/DVD "HEAVY METAL NEVER DIES") ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-A9X4XCDE_-c.html Lovebites the team of five thrashpower metal godesses. "We're not here to be cute, we're here to be heavy" Stay safe. Stay Lovebites.
I've got a strong feeling that once Covid is over Lovebites are going to blowup BIGTIME, if I'm not mistaking I belive they did say that N. America was next on their list but then Covid hit, so hopefully they pick one of those super tours, as that would probably be best for them to get their name out here, Crosfaith did it with the Warped Tour, and Chthonic did it with Ozzfest.
@@hopsmetalshow3413 yeah the lyrics are in English, and there are a few interviews from some European festivals here on youtube that are in English, as well as Miyako's own channel where she has 2 videos now that are also in English which the fact that they are also making an effort on the English is another thing that shows they do have a strong intrest in breaking the international barrier.
Wacken concerts are not as good quality. Better find songs from Daughters of the dawn and Zepp Divercity/Five of a kind concerts. Bloodstock concert is just horrible mix. I don't remember which ones you have reacted, but ANY song 2019+ concert is good :) The band is just 3-4 years old, so old ones have poor quality live mix.
Saying Asami looked like Mariah Carey is not an accident. She's got an R&B background & Mariah is one of her idols. The other band members have joked about her singing Mariah Carey songs when they have done karaoke together. People might talk about how they don't move around that much live, but let's not forget they're all a bunch of short women wearing high heels while performing (except Haruna back there on the drums in either some flats or sneakers). I'm pretty sure the last thing they want to risk is breaking one of those heels while carrying those guitars.
Great reaction guys! Check out "Raise some Hell" from this same concert, they move around more in that performance and look like they're having a lot of fun. Here's the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Qm-3zhCFghg.html
