They even had social distanced chairs with assigned seating. There was a boxed off section apparently where you could stand in front of your chair, but even that was distanced. There's a funny part in the live DVD where Asami yells to sing with them then realizes the crowd isn't allowed to sing, and starts laughing and waves them to not sing.
It may not be obvious at first view, but they are both pick-tapping at the same time in the dual harmony part. You can have a glimpse when the camera changes.
Remarkable Lovebites performance during Covid times, very behaved audience following strictly the protocols. Brave girls, helping to heal the world with their amazing talents. I love this band. Go to "Frozen serenade" next!!! It's another of their many faces. Lovebites forever!
I would like to see your faces if you were pregnant and had to play a 2 hour concert at this pace......🤔 I'm not kidding.🤗 This concert took place on March 26 in Tokyo as part of the national "Ride for Vengeance Tour 2021" through the cities of Japan (March - April 2021) . During "Ride for Vengeance Tour" Miyako (brunette, guitar), whose expression you are discussing, was 4-5 months pregnant . For you to understand, for Miyako it is: - already the third concert of the LOVEBITES Tour, - playing technically complex music (guitar, piano, keyboards), - performing backing vocals , - 2 hours , 18 songs, - during the Covid-19 pandemic, when you can get infected and infect an unborn child. At the beginning of 2021, a new wave of Covid-19 began in Japan. A very tense situation was created, many people got sick, people were dying. The Japanese government declared a state of emergency.The LOVEBITES concert tour ( national "Ride for Vengeance Tour 2021" ) was rescheduled from January 2021 to March - April 2021 and took place with mandatory anti-COVID safety measures: the hall was not completely filled (the number of viewers is limited, many people who wanted to get to the concert could not buy tickets) maintaining social distance between people, viewers must stay where they are, everyone is wearing masks, temperature control (in humans), hand disinfection, are not allowed to express their emotions loudly (shouting, sing ), only applause is allowed, etc. LOVEBITES risked their health during the "Ride for Vengeance Tour 2021" concerts. Unlike the spectators, they were not wearing masks. In addition, before the concert, a few more hours are spent preparing for the concert (setting up instruments and equipment on stage, rehearsing, etc.) These are also risks for Miyako and the rest of the ladies, because you have to contact with a large number of people at this time on stage. You have already checked out 6 songs of LOVEBITES (before this reaction). 4 out of 6 songs were with Miho (bass, founder and leader of the band): "Thunder Vengeance", "Scream for me", "Holy War", F.Chopin "Etude" & "Swan Song".
I just wanted to say something about Haruna, the drummer. Being one myself, Haruna has a very different skill set that sets her apart from us mere mortals. For example, and the plainest to see, is her drumming style. Most of us, especially in a concert like that, hit somewhere between normal and hard but if you look at Haruna that is very different in that it's how she tunes her set to give the most apparent tone it can without hitting it with grim death. Then it's her cymbal work that is also impressive in that she puts her phrases together quite unlike most drummers I know, professional or otherwise. Her technique allows her to play in such a relaxed way so that her drumming comes through clearly and without overexerting during the set. Amazing.
Appreciate a drummer's opinion. Always thought Haruna is something special, my favorite of all time! Size probably doesn't matter, but 4' 9", cmon now. Just think of that physically. 🤘🥁
Miyako described “Set The World On Fire” as Thrash Metal. The album’s producer Steve Jacobs had them change the middle arrangement just before recording. 🎸🔥🤘
In the 2021 concert definitely no pits, it was held under strict covid restrictions. Even shouting and yelling wasn‘t allowed. That‘s why you only here the polite applause at the end like in a classical concert …
LOVEBITES uploaded(thriller) live show at Tokyo 2023 "Knockin' The Heaven's Gate" Now every video from Miyako with English sub....LOVEBITES live in Europe Wacken Germany and Bloodstock UK and live with Dragonforce in London 2018....they will coming to USA...
I'm not sure what you're on, but except for the MV for Judgment Day and Stand and Deliver, all your reactions to Lovebites has been with the original bass player Miho.
In 2023, the tour in Japan will start in the summer. In an interview for a special LOVEBITES magazine project (2023), LOVEBITES' producer Sugiyama said that several bands have offered to accompany them on tour and he is considering which one to accept. LOVEBITES' international tour will start in 2024. In an interview for a magazine project after the resumption of activities, the girls also said they wanted to tour abroad. There will probably be a USA and EU tour. They did not tour in USA in the past. Before the tour plan, it became difficult situation all over the world. Let's wait!
That's Lovebites, great metal musicians. Haruna, monster drummer despite shes tiny. M&M was the best guitar duo. Miho the power & banger bassist. Asami angelic voice. All of 'em complete each other. Sadly Miho left the band for her personal reasons. Respect her. Great reaction guys👍🤘
Miho and Haruna started Love Bites after the dissolution of Destrose where they first met. Playing flat out for a two hour set, while five months pregnant? Myako is a bad ass! And talk about tiny! Haruna is, I've heard 4'9" of pure POWER! And Myako's concentration come from the fact that she's the principal song writer sharing duities with Asami's lyrics.
You’ve only seen the new bassist Fami twice, in MV for Judgement Day + Stand and Deliver Everything else you‘ve reacted to was from 2019-2021 and with Miho. They release a new live DVD/Blu-ray in august. It is the first live set recorded with Fami and her first concert with the band ever
Lovebites, Live with Fami: "No Time To Hesitate" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ry5TZlDuB38.html A great song and a great performance.. and in black dresses!
LOVEBITES - Set The World On Fire lyrics: The blue moon colors the blaze Stabbing myself with the thunder The predetermined imitation An emotionless and a fearless smile Flowing blood and crimson blade Devastated resolution Heat haze is waving far away Who’s going to be sacrificed？ ON FIRE Just like a falling flower ON FIRE Until this body rots away Burning down to the Gates of Hell Distorted madness is sneering Incompetent, cowardly fools A pitiful and painful punishment It’s you who will be sacrificed ON FIRE Dressed in an armor of steel ON FIRE If I’m burned again and again I’ll rise up from the Gates of Hell SOLO: midori / miyako / both The blue moon colors blaze Stabbing myself with the thunder The predetermined imitation An emotionless and fearless smile SOLO: miyako Flowing blood and crimson blade Devastated resolution Heat haze is waving far away Who’s going to be sacrificed？ ON FIRE Just like a falling flower ON FIRE Until this body rots away Burning down to the Gates of Hell ----- lyrics: asami music: miyako arrangement: LOVEBITES [miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami] album: Electric Pentagram 01/29/2020
I’m glad you guys reacted to this song. One of my top favorites from LOVEBITES! Judging from your previous LOVEBITES reactions, you guys have mostly done videos featuring Miho. But I’m guessing you guys didn’t realize it. Just wanted to clarify for you guys. With MIHO: “Holy War” “Thunder Vengeance” “Swan Song” “Scream For Me” “Set The World On Fire” With FAMI: “Judgement Day” “Stand and Deliver (Shoot ‘Em Down)” Btw, some interesting info I’ve read was that guitarist Miyako (stoic faced & dark hair 😉) was pregnant during this performance. 🤘🏾🔥🤘🏾
Great reaction!! After their success in Europe i think Lovebites were preparing for a US tour when the pandemic hit the world. They have said recently in interviews they want to go there and also come back to Europe, likely to happen in 2024!! Miyako always has her poker face 😄 but in this show specifically she was about 4 months pregnant!! 🤘Thanks guys!!
This video features the band's original bassist, MIHO's, last live performance with LOVEBITES. A Blu-ray featuring the second bassist, FAMI, will be released in August. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QFjoFaXx1d8.html
Thank you reacting Lovebites, nice n classy comments, they are the best no doubt, Haruna is the engine of the band and her fills so chruncy, and farewell to Miho, 2 guitars are amazing, Asami vocal so epic, lets go for the next songs, The Hammer of Wrath, live Tokyo 2021 amazing
Great reaction guys. Miyako often looks serious - it may have something to do with her concert level piano training or she might be thinking of what colour to paint the nursery as she's nearly 5 months pregnant at the time of this performance. 😊😊
Great reaction gentlemen! Ever see Fami on her own channel? She’s super animated. She’s actually dialing it back in deference to the other members. She’ll get there.
We haven't seen Fami live with the band yet, theres a Blue ray from one of their latest lives coming out soon tho. She has a lot of energy too, just a different type. While Miho was all power stances and headbaning, Fami is all smiles. She has a lot of technical skill too, great at fast slapping, double thumb, etc. So im really looking forward to hearing the basslines in all their upcoming material.
Another great Reaction guys. You have Definitely seen Miho several times. Fami started in Oct '22 and only appears in 2 videos - *_Judgement Day_* and *_Stand and Deliver_* . Miho had some personal issues, and she actually stayed with the band after her _'departure'_ to record *_Nameless Warrior_* - which is a retrospective song about the band moving forward into the future (many in the Wolfpack believe Miho IS the Nameless Warrior). BTW, Miyako is learning English and her channel now has English subtitles. Miyako also just released a solo piano EP of covers of classic Metal and Rock songs - *re-imagined* as classical piano pieces. Eagle Fly Free (Helloween) - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--h3BLRs0Xr4.html 🤘🐺🤘
Come on, guys - you reacted to Holy War (live), Glory to the World (video), Swan Song + Chopin intro (live) and Thunder Vengeance (live) - Miho was the bassist in all of them! "Really different bassist" indeed...🙄
They are releasing the new DVD/Blu-ray with the new bassplayer Fami in august-23. Knockin' at Heaven's Gate is the name of that concert. Recording live over 2 days. Be sure to buy it!
I have been a metalhead for 35 years now, and I was rock-hard sure, that I will *never* get *any* access to Speed Metal and Thrash Metal. "It is just not made for me." Enter Lovebites! 😂 Now their Speed and Thrash songs belong to my favorite ones! 😂*I love them!* 😂 Garbage sucks, excellence shines! 🥲 Hell of a band! 😄🐺
Awesome been waiting for this one! Always been wondering but I guess never thought to ask; wouldn't it make more sense to check out some comments after watching the video? 🤔
Welcome back to Lovebites guys… I would like to introduce a new band for you… it’s called Asterism… a three-piece metal band ( like yours )from Japan…I would like to recommend a song called “Gunfire” Live in Studio…
Great reaction. This video was my introduction to this awesome band and it has been a hell of a ride since them. Can't wait to get their new dvd to be released in August so I can see Fami in action through a whole concert. Fami has only been in two videos so far, Stand And Deliver and Judgement Day. Every thing else released so far included Miho.
thank you for this great reaction/analysis, sam and chris. as musicians you are even better able in appreciating their stage performance than us amateurs. btw: audience was covid restricted. tand this urned out to be their last concert for two years.

Midori and Miyako have been to the US before for NAMM 2020 I believe. Each were playing for the companies that they are sponsored by. Those videos are on RU-vid if you look.
They were breaking out internationally during covid, so they couldn't tour internationally at the time. Then they lost Miho. That put them on hiatus for a while. SO yeah, they are a little behind, but they are racing to catch up. World tour probably coming in 2024.
You are right. Lovebites have not toured America! Individually they have been there, Asami, Midori and Miyako! They have however toured the Uk with Dragon force, played in two major UK festivals, Bloodstock and Download! They were also the first female Japanese band to play Wacken and a couple of other open air festivals. Why they have not yet played america is up for debate. The European audiences have an appreciation for this type of music and since Lovebites have an infinity with NWoBHM of the 80s you can see why the audiences do like them!! I suspect you will see them again at Download and Wacken in the near future!!
The closest Anyone in LoveBites has been to the US is that Asami was a foreign exchange student for a couple of years, in Hawaii, if I remember right. Also, Midori and Miyako were featured artists at NAMM in 2020 for their respective companies (ESP and Dean). They drew a formidable crowd each time they were there.
Miyako (piano/guitar) was 3/4 months pregnant here and still rocked out hard for the entire 2 hour set. COVID meant less than half capacity, social distancing, no yelling, jumping or singing and clapping only was allowed, in other words a sterile venue. Yet the ladies rocked out like they were in a crazed rabid fan packed arena. This show was the usual stunning spectacle you expect from LB, except Haruna/drums and Asami/vocals really stood out. Miho is a dieheart metalhead and is like a bobblehead doll when she plays. This concert was Miho's last with the band so you will get a lot of bittersweet reactions from the Wolfpack. You will love anything this band does LIVE and with Miho they did more Thrash as she is a Iron Maiden devotee who is a Harris fan girl. Miho never gave herself enough credit, she is a great bassist, no one plays in Destrose and Lovebites with all the talent around them without being world class themselves.
Hate to break it to you guys but this is the 5th time you’ve seen Miho. Fami has only appeared on two MV’s, but will be featured on the upcoming “Knocking on Heaven’s Gate” live show (as will I, as I’m in the audience..😂).
the only videos you have seen with the new bass player was the 2 MVs, Judgement Day and Stand and Deliver, everything else was Miho the former bassist.
This is actually now my favorite Lovebites performance musically. I loved the heaviness of the song writing in this one. I will never completely love the vocalist though, just subjective personal preference that I prefer to understand the lyrics.
Also, for a great intro to the encore of 2020 concert, Awakening/Hammer of Wrath and from the same concert, Break the Wall, are two great songs to check out.
The new base player is only in two vids, stand and deliver, and Judgement day. They r both studio vids. So, if u saw a live concert vid, you have seen the old bassists before.
I am convinced the reason that Miyako (dark-haired guitarist) looks uninterested is that while she is playing guitar, she is writing new songs in her head. She is a music savant!!
Here's something for you... Fami (Lovebites current bassist) - this will literally blow you minds. Before she was in Lovebites - her bass skills are INSANE: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Q_UqztwYAOU.html
I either read an article or watched an interview, but the Band wants to come to the U.S.. They want to become better at English before they do. I know Miyako really wants to tour the U.S.. In her RU-vid channel, she mentions that the whole band is working on their English and then she stopped as if she either wasn't sure what to say next or felt she might have shared to much when she began to mention the 2024 plans for a world tour. I sure do hope they come to the U.S.. I already told my Boss that I will be sick for a few days whenever they are close by.
Yeah, the comments on the bass player missed the mark - you've seen Miho in 2 other reactions, while Fami has only been in the music videos, which I think were the first two you watched, and of course she won't be going crazy there.
Only the new album has the new bass player all the other songs you've done had the old bass player. In the beginning when you first started your end they singing English not in Japanese. In the beginning it's hard to hear because she has to pronunciate so hard but now if a new album she's not pronunciate you so hard so her English has gotten better. But it was haruna that actually started the band and asked me who to come in because they played with Destro
Soon a new concert live DVD/Blueray (concert from March 2023 in Tokyo) will be released. If Lovebites do it like in the past years, there will be (hopefully) 2 new live video's with Fami as bass player released on the Lovebites RU-vid channel. You guys have put reaction videos online to the following LOVEBITES material so far : Judgement Day 2022 - Bass player : Fami Stand and Deliver 2023 - bass player : Fami Holy War live 2020 - bass player : Miho Rosana Swan Song live 2020 - Bass player : Miho Rosana Scream for me live 2019 - Bass player : Miho Rosana Thunder Vengeance live 2020 - Bass player : Miho Rosana Set The World On Fire live 2020 - bass player : Miho Rosana 🤘🤘 Only on the two newest Lovebites songs the new bass player FAMI played. All the other songs you watched were with the original bass player and founder Miho Rosana .
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3x85sIiWUrw.html No time to hesitate its only a sound version avaiabel. But that Song is really heavy and there are only less reactions till now
No moshing, because the audience is seated, masked, and under Covid restrictions that prohibit cheering. I don’t understand your comments about FAMI; she is quite animated. Yes, LOVEBITES have not visited America. Very few Japanese bands come here. BABYMETAL, BAND-MAID, and now NEMOPHILA are more able exceptions. MODORI, MIHO, and MIYAKO are all providing backing vocals here. Yes, MIYAKO looks bored because she is focused on creating tight harmonies with MIDORI.

For the unaware, Haruna is the tiniest of the tiny trio at 4'9" - Asami is 4'10" and Midori is 4'11" - I believe Miyako and Fami are both 5'2" (not sure about Miho).
They are on their 3rd base player.... this is my 1st time hearing the first bassist, however, I've heard the 2nd bassist a lot and really really like her, though I appreciate the heavier attack from the 1st one.
Miho the X bass player was badass. we miss her. But Fami the new member is another level. No offense to Miho. but in my opinion, Fami is an upgrade. SORRY MIHO.
that’s not cool when you said WHAT???@&@&@& you sounded like you just made fun of her accent: F U for that. when the time Asami said Set the world on fire.
When you guys put your feet in your mouths you really jam them right in 🤣😂🤣All those epic live videos you've seen? ... they were all Miho. You've only seen Fami in the latest two MV's they've done - which is ironically where you started. The problem is that when you went to the earlier live stuff you never noticed it was a different bassist? In all those comments you read you didn't get told the whole saga of Miho leaving and Fami joining? 🤔 🤪🤘🏳⚧(⚵⚶⚴𓁴⚳⚢⚸)🏳🌈🦘
