Lovebites - Shadowmaker MV REACTION | Metal Musician Reacts (First time hearing Lovebites) 

I had the same reaction bro when I first listened to them 😜🤣😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 but I had no words 😂

As I've been saying elsewhere: Lovebites is what happens if Iron Maiden and Dragonforce have 5 beautiful girls that are raised on JRock.

Dude, check lovebites - break the wall. This song is so thrash

Lovebites - The Crusade!! Break The Wall!! Rising!!! When Destinies align!!! and much more The dvd's have awsome performances of their best songs, but they get taken down quick around here.

Next! LOVEBITES / When Destinies Align(4K MV)

thank you for reaction video

Lovebites is a remarkable power metal band! They all shred!

For other Japanese bands: Here is my "starter" list for anyone who wants to dive into the world of Japanese female-led rock, punk and metal bands. I see some folks have already given you lists of recommendations, so there will be some overlap here. All my recommendations have links. This list is mostly alphabetical, except for the first three, which are at the top of the list for historical reasons. They set the table for the explosion of Japanese female hard-rock, punk and metal bands. Show-Ya (the original female J-metal band, founded in 1981, before Metallica-this is from their 30th (!) anniversary concert-and they are still touring): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oJ_5Gv3vFjQ.html&pbjreload=10 Shonen Knife (The world’s first bubblegum punk band, founded in 1981.

There are some new release vids from lovebites 5 of a kind concert held in February 2020 brilliant show I have the blueray not one bad song and excellent sound some song titles Opening song with intro Thunder Vengance shows their more thrashy side , Holy War , Raise some Hell , Dancing with the Devil , We the United , and Signs of Deliverence and Edge of the World . You get everything from power metal to thrash metal to heavy rock with their shows sometimes all in the one song . Swan song shows off one of the guitarists piano skills as well . Great reaction hope you do more of these ladies they are truly masters of their craft .

TCoM: Recommend more Japanese bands Me: *cracks knuckles* List: Aldious - We Are Wagakki Band - Senbonzakura Broken by the Scream - サヨナラバースデー (Sayonara Birthday) Candye Syrup - White Russian DOLL$BOXX - Take My Chance Fruitpochette - Parasite Girls Rock Band Revolution - VOLTAGE (Drummer did one of the best covers of a Dragonforce song according to Gee, the drummer from dragonforce) Mary's Blood - Marionette Unlucky Morpheus - Black Pentagram Yousei Teikoku - Astral Dogma That should do for now :P

Need to check out "When Destiny's align" , "Rising" , "Break the walls"....🔥 Lovebites is a really cool band.

Miya(Miyako?) has my heart ever since the first time I saw these women at 2019 summer sonic. The double leads strike JP vibes for me.

I love Band Maid, but these guys don't really do it for me. Certainly not due to lack of skill, but I guess power metal is just not my thing. Japanese rock band recommendations: Wagakki Band - traditional/hard rock fusion, one of the few bands I feel comfortable saying is completely unique under the sun Hello Sleepwalkers - guitar-heavy punkish alternative (I'd recommend ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Zxwe-nfZJyM.html, Shinwa Hokai - "Mythology Collapse") Sokoninaru - post-hardcore trio with mind-blowing instrumentals Asterism - Instrumental prog metal played by high schoolers (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IfxMi0Bx4x0.html )

Man that is old school cool. "The crusade" based on Iron Maidens "Aces High" next please. What's not to like.

Ooh, you starting J-rock/metal now bro? Great!!👍👍👍

And now after band-maid and Lovebites ... Astarism! You won't believe how good they are....

great reaction, if you listen to some Lovebites songs, you will realize they sound like european power metal. These are my song recommendations and you won't be disappointed: Lovebites - When Destinies Align Lovebites - Under the Red Sky Lovebites - We The United Lovebites - Break the Wall Lovebites - Holy War Lovebites - Epilogue (ballad song and you will listen to Asami's vocal abilities) FYI they won the Metal Hammer Golden Gods 2018 (Best New Band) and became the first female band (Japan) to perform at Wacken, Bloodstock and Graspopmetal.

The symphonic keys in the background are composed and played by Miyako (guitar-dark hairs). She's a fantastic keyboardist (she only started playing guitar at 18 !!! ) and plays some Chopin on their live DVD/Bluray soon to be released. You're so right about transitions - they know how to keep a song interesting (Miyako is their main composer ).

I like your musical analysis. But there is so much tracks from this band. And it's always insane

See a Lovebites reaction, I like and subscribe. What can I say, I'm a simple man.

You should also check out their video called "When Destinies Align". Another great song from their new album. What's great is that Lovebites does a thrash song. Check out their live version of "Break the Wall".

Wow, that was a crazy tune. I'm gonna have to go find the video and listen again. Loved your commentary!

Oh, man. You're getting into Japanese metal now? Here are some of my favorite all women bands: - DOLL$BOXX - Take My Chance (w/ Fuki, the singer from Unlucky Morpheus) - Bridear - Ignite - Nemophila - 雷霆 RAITEI - Not a band but totally worth checking out, Junna's drum cover of Through The Fire And Flames

They are fantastic. Within a few weeks of discovering them bought several of their albums. Apart from Funny Railroad Crossing's recommendations, would add Rising as well. About the members, the tallest one - Miyako (The guitarist with dark hair) is 5'2. The shortest is the drummer (Haruna) at 4'8 or so. The band was formed by the drummer Haruna, and the Bassist Miho (she has over 400 heavy metal band t-shirts...). Haruna and Miho used to be in a band called Destrose. The singer Asami actually comes from an R&B background. lovebites is her first metal band. Now, you said you wanted Japanese recommendations: Warning: loooong read ahead. I need to warn you - be very careful of Japanese rock/metal. It’s a rabbit hole that people don’t get out of. Sorry if you have reacted to some of these already. I did look through your channel to check, but might have missed it. Some say Lovebites is the best power metal group, others will prefer a band called Aldious. Also an all woman band, Aldious has a bit more variety in their songs (some really poppy ones, in a good way). Again, great guitarists, what a voice (though the vocalist changed recently. New one is also good. Good songs to start with: We are: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sfkJT0rra-8.html Re:Fire: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RJcbEnxqV1k.html Believe Myself: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gl9CEdZ0Fro.html Next up: Unlucky Morpheus. A good example of the quality in Japan - you’ll be hard pressed to find sloppy playing and half-arsing. Each member actually plays in another band - this is a bit of a side project, but they're taking it more seriously these days. The singer, Fuki, is in 4 other bands, and is also regarded as one of the best metal vocalists in Japan. Apart from amazing guitars and drums, the band also has a violinist. Yip, she gets to do some solos too in some songs. Power metal violin. Some of their songs to check out: Unending Sorceress: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PCv3s0T4bx0.html Knight of Swords: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TiQdl2toBtg.html Cadaver/Redavac (with sheet music) (they play this song forward, then switch the sheet music and play it backwards): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_yrNRhIreyE.html Black Pentagram Fuki did a colab with Syu from Galneryus (one of the best guitarists in Japan): SYU from GALNERYUS（GUEST VOCAL：Fuki）「REASON」: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-958z1pk9_Ns.html Another of Fuki's side project is Doll$Boxx. The rest of Doll$Boxx is a band called Gacharic Spin. Well worth a watch. Metal with synth. "Take my chance" is comical and wtf, in the best possible way (yes, that is the drummer's real voice lol): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mu2z4Uf9Tgc.html They are all very legit ladies though: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZWJk5oEULf8.html, "Loud Twin Stars": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-R2itu5KEvG0.html More bands: Ningen Isu. They started in 1987, but only found fame worldwide last year, with their first trip abroad this year iirc. Their song “Heartless Scat” is a classic. Think Japanese Black Sabbath. These guys are GOATs. There is a vid of Kanami from Band-Maid doing a guitar battle with the guitarist from Ningen Isu on a Japanese tv show. Well funny. Heartless Scat: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CbI79e5iZKs.html BabyMetal. They need to be on any J-Metal list for what they’ve done for metal, especially J-Metal. Their live performances are a sight to behold. Their world fame started with the song “Ijime, Dame, Zettai” in 2014 at Sonisphere: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ro-_cbfdrYE.html Also check: Road of Resistance live in Japan. Several thousands fans, and Su has them in the palm of her hand: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zTEYUFgLveY.html Karate by BabyMetal: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GvD3CHA48pA.html And you will also no doubt love Rondo Of Nightmare (With Mischiefs of God Intro). The band members get a chance to shine proper: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OV9uNKohP0o.html Galneryus. If you love Unlucky Morpheus and Lovebites, you’ll love these guys (Mentioned the Fuki and Syu colab above). Again, dual guitars, great drums, great vocals, great everything. Their main guitarist Syu is pretty famous in the metal world in Japan. Some songs to check out: Destiny: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--hL-iO86vdI.html Angel of Salvation: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nsi9HEmZl9Y.html Raise my Sword: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-prBxPljqt0M.html Mary’s Blood - There was a band called Destrose. Some members left to form Lovebites. Other members left to form Mary’s Blood. More Japanese style power metal with technical perfection (Personally prefer Lovebites though) If you’re looking for the Japanese version of SOAD, but maybe even crazier, then Maximum The Hormone is your band. They’ll mix 5 genres into 1 song. Always be on the lookout for the next change up lol. You said you love transitions? Some of their songs (really, just choose any. They don't fit into any one genre, always something new): Yoshu Fukushu is my personal fav, not as mad as their others though: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-beN5ep5MrdY.html A popular one by MtH: Alien: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TdwT5JlH8gM.html Next: Wagakki Band - you’ll be lulled into thinking this is some traditional Japanese music, before they melt your face. Metal on traditional instruments. Ok, this is getting too long, so quickly, other relatively popular bands or ones you might find interesting are Bridear Their songs Ignite, Ghoul), Mardelas, D_Drive and Asterism (love this one) (they're both instrumental bands - no vocals), Scandal, Yuzukingdom (eg their song Eyes Shut Tightly, or National Anthem. The singer is actually in an Idol band, and this is her side project to let her growls out lol) , Nocturnal Bloodlust,... There are more. Have a list of near 100 bands. Not even touching Visual K and some other genres. Other folks will make even more recommendations, and you won’t go wrong with pretty much any of them. Let’s just say you’re in a helluva ride with this J-Rock/Metal rabbit hole.

Midori and Miyako on the guitars are fantastic and then there's Haruna on the drums...the beast!!!

Miho (bass) and Haruna (drums) formed the band in 2016 with Midori (white guitar), Miyako (black guitar, piano) and Asami (vocals). Miyako is the primary song writer and apparently did not start playing the guitar until she was 17! She will also will play a little Chopin during a concert. Remember what I told you about Japanese ladies and their abilities playing musical instruments. Well ,here they are wearing white mini-dresses! They wear white because they all are around 5' to 5'1", except the drummer and she's 4'10" maybe, so they are seen on the dark stages they usually performing on. They were touring Europe with Dragon Force before the virus and you missed their on-line concert about a week ago. Again, where Japanese metal came from, X Japan, Jade @T0zc

More Lovebites? I've been suggesting this one, so here goes again: "When Destinies Align" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hLFelI93VkM.html The camera really dotes on the girls, unlike Shadowmaker where it's all dark. And the shred-fest between the two guitars is at an even higher level. Heart gone, face gone, promise. Have an ambulance on stand-by.

Love lovebites, you gotta do when destinies align 🤘🏻🤘🏻 love your band maid reactions as well

I just discovered this band. They are the real deal, extremely talented.

glad you got the reaction straightened out. tried watching it last nite and almost the entire solo was cut out. midori and miyako are the best team of guitarists on the planet right now. and beautiful? well yeah! every player in this group is epic just like the music. best power metal band on the planet since 2017. you have much more to check out from them.when destinies align is their newest video-check that out for another shreddathon!

Lovebites are my second favourite Japanese all female bands, ahead of Band Maid. They rival them in every aspect and their live performances are wicked. My No1 is Scandal, mix of rock, pop rock, ska, reggae, ska, grunge even edm and jazz and blues. They all sing, do songwriting, arrangements and have their own label called Her. They are first big all female band created 14 years ago and with Aldious and Mary's Blood and partially Bridear they paved the way for 100's of all female bands now active in Japan. To add on the lists from others, Asterism and Nemophila are also really good. Miyako (lovebites) is the second solo guitar in video plays keyboards, bass, backing vocals and does most of arrangement and song writing for the band. Their influence is Dragonforce as many have pointed out, besides many other bands, including Gary Moore. I recommend When Destinies Align and Epilogue, one of the best ballads out there. Oh and I call the drummer Energizer Bunny :D

Lovebites Rising has a really sick solo btw

Miyako is a smocking beautiful lady!

Bro,because of you and that poster you have behind you,I've become such a dreamcatcher fan

Lovebites were started by the bassist, Miho when a band called Destrose sort of stopped, they didn't split, no one could agree on that. Miho want to start a band that paid tribute to 80's power metal, most people thought she was mad, but the drummer from her former band agree to join, then they got the others in. If you want one that is really an 80's song try "The Cursade" it's an open love letter to 80's power metal. If you want another sick Japanese Band, try Unlucky Morpheus. They call themselves a technical, power, melodic, speed metal band. They hit like a freight train and keep going. Unlucky Morpheus - "Black Pentagram" or "Unending Sorceress" should be a good place to start. Another for you Aldious - Dominator (live). The band that rekick started the female metal bands in Japan.

The look on your face at 6:15 is fu##ing priceless

I've been a fan of Lovebites since this year. And that minisolo after the main solo gets me every time. And while basically all of their songs kick ass, I don't think any has better riff than Shadowmaker. It's just and earworm and hypnotizing.

React to lovebites - swan song live please!

Great reaction bro. edit :- Yo, this's basically bandmaid official Fan channel !! So, wouldn't expect much of LOVEBITES in future cause.... we all know why....

Nice old In Flames playing in the background! Very cool! :)

at 2:08 you were gonna say something then got pulled right back in, I was howling because every time I want to stop and process their music I fucking can't. It's just so unbelievably good, I honestly haven't heard talent like this in a really really long time.

They recently re uploaded this video without the commercials. ]:P

React to Unlucky morpheus (black pentagram) or galneryus (angel salvation) Or Syu x Fuki (reason)

New UK date added on the Thin Line Between Love and Hate Worldwide tour maybe they will add more USA dates since Atlanta sold out in like 2 hours

So, I saw your new listing for "When Destinies Align" and, before watching, reading "2nd reaction to Lovebites" I came to watch your first LOVEBITES experience. Very enjoyable! (from a devoted LOVEBITES fanatic perspective). A bit surprised it's taken you 4 months to find another of their songs, and another older release at that, but I'm not complaining, as "When Destinies Align" MV is amazing, almost as good as the 'live' from Five of a Kind concert. I'm gonna suggest, in the interest of TRANSITIONS (an aspect I admire as well, as a drummer/guitarist) "The Hammer of Wrath" at this link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S3vjrVtAvzE.html Although this omits pre-recorded intro, "Awakening", it still mesmerizes me each time. Thanks for promoting LOVEBITES, AND for the excellent audio balance with your mic and retaining the stereo mix & dynamics of the music. Now off to see "When Destinies Align"

Dude, check Asterism - Blaze

Ahh.. I see you have found Lovebites too..

No denying they're really good musicians. I love Band Maid, but this is very different from that. I just can't get into power metal, especially the vocal style. Too big-hair-blonde-skinny-arm-guy-in-black-duster-and-tight-acid-washed-jeans-riding-a-white-tiger-in-a-thunderstorm for my taste. Suggestions? Maximum the Hormone. Another rule-breaking band. Band Maid's Akane was inspired by their drummer. Or, try the super poppy but kitchy-cool of "Fujiyama Disco" by Silent Siren. Someone mentioned

Love me some Lovebites. Great review! Def recommend Hammer of Wrath live at waken tour 2018, when destiny aligns, Rising, Break the wall, under the red sky, Liar, Epilogue & United we stand. Last 2 redefines Power ballad. Oh yeah, thanks foe being an Insomnia as well :)

I'm also hearing Judas Priest there, esp. right around the Screaming for Vengeance era. But I think I'm also hearing Dio, at least with the singing style. Cool song regardless.

I got a straight up "Dragonforce" Vibe from this band with some 80s thrash styling mixed in.

great reaction. these five ladies are so impressive, adorable and so passionate about their music.

The guitar riff at the begining, remember me more "Jesus Save" from Savatage.

Miho the Bassist is a fan of Iron Maiden, Anthrax and Pantera her main influence is Steve Harris. Miyako the guitar player with the Dean is the main songwriter now. Her main influences as a composer is Disarmonia Mundi an Intalian Progressive Death Metal band. Haruna the drummer is influenced by Helloween.

Late to the party but still. Massive all-female Japanese (hard)rock/(power)metal fan here. I see you've worked your way through the Band-Maid repertoire (nothing wrong with that!) but Lovebites is my absolute favourite. Just one video will not do at all! Please give us more. Pick something live and recent, e.g. anything labeled 'Live at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020'. You won't be disappointed!

"Oh shit - I thought that was it." Miyako & Midori (IN UNISON) : "Hold our beers.." 🔥🎸 Bassist Miho is also a drummer... 😉

Man, I used to request Lovebites Shadowmaker from like, every single reactor who was doing Babymetal and Band-Maid, and nobody ever did it, so eventually I figured that they must be checking view counts or something and figuring Lovebites weren;t worth their time because they weren't as popular as the other two. Eventually I gave up and stopped doing my daily "Lovebites Shadowmaker reaction" searches. I just got a weird urge to search again, and all of a sudden there's like a million Lovebites reactions, mostly for When Destinies Align, but there are a few for Shadowmaker too, so I guess it was the new album that triggered the sudden interest, which is cool and everything, but it still kind of bugs me that nobody took my word for it. But anyway, I've been watching a bunch of them, and most of the people reacting seem to have pretty good ears, including yourself, and I've been leaving the same comment on their reactions as I'll leave on yours, which is that two of Lovebites biggest influences were Iron Maiden and Helloween.

The singer is insane

I would check out Iron Bunny. On the more rock side Scandel, not the old 80's band, and Stereo Pony.

If u love Mad Transitions then u should check out a band called MAXIMUM THE HORMONE....they got some of the Craziest transitions man...U can start from their song called Alien....😎

Hello, Lovebites released new MV called Winds Of Transylvania(thrash metal) and Glory To The World(symphonic metal) Thanks

Unlucky Morpheus. "Black Pentagram".

same, bro.

Until a couple years ago music was completely dead to me. it seemed to be that all the same boring crap s*** in English. Until my daughter introduced me to BABYMETAL and from there oh my god there's just so much great music from Japan. Judas Priest will always be my number one. two through I don't know what number 6, or 7 are Japanese female bands. and I don't care if I can't understand them. The music just tears my soul and in a happy way. Welcome to Lovebites. Subscribing...oops, I've already subscribed 😄😄😄😄😄

You really should do thunder vengeance from them

If want to know how there's so many good girls bands today... go to the 80's Show-ya Watashi wa Arashi

I see you haven't covered Jinjer yet. You've got to listen to Jinjer (prog groove metal with some surprises) if you haven't already. Some of the best transitions in music. Start with Pisces: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SQNtGoM3FVU.html then Perennial: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bxi3i9wzQBk.html then Teacher Teacher: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oRkRwL0vjOg.html

For a first time reaction it had to be Holy War live!

Oh, you are in for a lot of surprises listening this band. Soon you don't know what genre they are. They do powermetal, trash metal and power ballads... and Miyako plays piano just as good as she plays guitar... They are like old Metallica, when all their songs were good inthe album. How about more Judas Priest/Iron maiden style next, before diving into ballads and trash with "Crusade" (This link is good version, without commercials and is full length): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ueKyQ4xI-mY.html

Great reaction. Lovebites is a fantastic band. Try to react "Epilogue" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QgKIoz88-8A.html or "Empty Dream" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lXh_uMM94jU.html, live a Tokyo 2019. The guitarist Midori and Miyako are beautiful and talented musicians....

I really like how you comment on each of the girls' talents and not just watch the vid and say "that was great" like a lot of other reaction videos. Definitely check out Wagakki Band. Perhaps Senbonzakura would be a good first. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-K_xTet06SUo.html You will be in for a wild ride with all of the good musicians and the unique vocals. And since you like cute asian girls, they have a share of their own. The lead vocalist and the shamisen player are hot. Oh and the bassist isn't bad either.

6:40 Yep, they can play. If you like the Thrash-Power Metal-fusion, check out Aldious RE:Fire. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RJcbEnxqV1k.html I'm not a huge fan of power metal either, but Unleash The Archers - Awakening will make you question your tastes. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gqUPGa15Oto.html

Dude, if you want sick transitions, check out 'Maximum the Hormone's Aliens. Drummer is cute.

They toured the UK with Dragonforce. Take a look at them together doing a song by Celine Dion. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mWVwdGi9ixI.html One upon a time there was a Japanese all-women power metal band Destrose that lasted about a decade and had lots of turnover. The bassist and drummer from the last iteration of Destrose founded Lovebites. Mary's Blood, Fate Gear, Disqualia, Mardelas, and several other bands have Destrose veterans.

The drummer needs gloves. Holy shit.

Man you should react to Maximum the hormone Hungry pride is soooo awesome 🤘🤘

If you make me choose between Babymetal and Bandmaid.. I definitely will go for Bandmaid 😉 ps/ Champ, if have the chance, check out IRONBUNNY- 23 Twenty Three... a hightech cyborb bunny from the future with very cool outfit playing guitar, he is from Japan.. Vibe 80's to 90's... 😉 I think u will love it..

what do think excellent metal? next はwhen destinies align 出来ればliveでお願いします🤗

BabyMetals Evil Step-mother ;)) YouseiTeikoku - Mischievous of Alice

If these girls watch your reaction of their video they might think you are a touch creepy 🤔😂

Doll$Boxx , Bridear, Unlucky Morpheus, and Aldious -- thank me later.

Yeah I get a definite Iron Maiden vibe from this vibe

check out japanese female metal band bridear- light in the dark

Please watch GALNERYUS - Angel of Salvation live video!

watch the song witch from the program good girl.

If gender of the band members is not important, I would suggest a band that actually brought a new sound to metal as my first suggestion. Versailles - Faith and decision ( m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AdhfE6ITfoQ.html ). The closest genres to describe there music is progressive neoclassical metal.

If you like this, then for your own sake, try Ironbunny! A kid that grew up with Van Halen and became a version on Eddie Van Halen in the year 2323. He got some help I think from a formed Baby Metal girl, but don't take my word for it. I can't stand Baby Metal, but this if f..ing awesome: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4CEqyuem3mA.html

Try Mayday by coldrain.

Yeah man...back to the 80s..... This is just more refined version....

Hello!! Please make Yours reaction on MV: "Leningrad - i_$uss"

i sense a iron maiden influence here

Nex Song "Swan song " 🤘🤘

I like thrash but not a huge power metal fan. Any japanese girl bands similar to Metallica?

playing solo's that has no feeling.

Women like that could only come from a place like Japan. Japan is one of the least feminist countries in the world. NO positive action, NO forced diversity, NO Quotas, NO victimhood... Feminine, strong, beautiful and VERY talented

You should have reacted to a live Lovebites video, anyway I think Mary's Blood is a better band, check out Bloody Birthday ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PmBwEmmHnVA.html.

Hi Champ from Japan！ LOVEBITES ? "Rising" Check It out！

Interesting. I liked your reaction. The voice doesn't work for me. If I'm going to listen to female singers, I prefer something more like Tatiana of Jinjer or Courtney of Spiritbox. I could listen to all of the music of this without the vocals and would be happier.

boring drummer, not saying she is not good, just redundant as hell in this song
