LOVEBITES is a five-member all-female, Japanese heavy metal band with deep musicianship (plus classical music/piano background). They transcend gender, genre, and geography, with some 60 songs in their discography. They won Metal Hammer Golden Gods Award for Best New Band (2018), toured with Dragonforce (2019), first female Japanese band to perform at Wacken Open Air (Germany) and others in Europe, and are unusual among Japanese bands in choosing to sing in English plus good lyrics (a daunting task for native Japanese speakers).They play a variety of heavy metal styles and are heavily influenced by NWBHM, especially Iron Maiden and the "big four" thrash metal bands.

Thank you so much!! Dang..... THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I'm so happy you enjoyed and... have any suggestions for what I should do next?? If this is your first time here on my channel, welcome! 🤘🎸😎💙
@@CrazyAwesome I suggest you visit the band’s official RU-vid channel and watch the recent live releases. You may not be able to speak coherently for a while mind you. Getting on a plane (U.K.) in the morning to go see them in Japan. Not until a whole month later, but once you’ve experienced Japan you will find any excuse to spend time there!
welcome to the WolfPack (Lovebites fans) you have been Lovebitten best sons to start with for Lovebites have been Holy War, Shadowmaker, Judgement Day, and Glory To The World
Thank you SO much for the welcome!!!! Means a LOT to me and I'm so happy. Wow.... I actually already listened to Judgment Day it was really good - I have the reaction on my channel! 🤘🤘🤘 Thanks for all the suggestions and welcoming me! If this is your first time here, welcome to the channel!!! 💖💖🤘
@CrazyAwesome I would probably pick Holy War or Soldier Stands Solitarily, but pretty much everything they release is incredible. They have over 60 songs released in 8 years and I can't think of one I want to skip.
Thanks for checking them out. I knew they'd blow your mind. You are in for a fun deep dive. Check out some of their live stuff too. Maybe check out Rising. Enjoy! 🤟😖🤘
@CrazyAwesome may I recommend Lovebites- Holy War live 2020 at Zepp DiveCity? There really is no wrong song to pick, it's just one of their best, imo 😁
@CrazyAwesome Thank you! I just love watching other people's reaction t9 some of my favorite's. It reminds me of how I felt when I first saw something awesome! Great work on your videos! 👍
@@Valkron11 honestly I would do that in my free time for that exact same reason. There are so many amazing songs I wish I could hear for the first time again..... so I listen to other people's reactions to get that experience again through them. It's a beautiful thing! And thank you so much!!! I'm hoping with time I'll get better, I'm still overall new to this reacting thing, I edit and make all my videos myself so it's awesome to hear you really enjoy!!🤘🤘🎸💙
LOVEBITES - Unchained lyrics: Open your eyes and you can see place you’ve imagined for so long High above, it’s there, accelerating heartbeat Get ready, ready, set, go Somewhere in this unclear day, you & I we all know this for sure Reaching out to catching the ticket to this one way road journey Nothing is there without meaning No going back, it’s always one chance in your life Don’t beg for another chance! The grey-out world will start to colour Don’t think, feel!! Be Free Anywhere you want Anywhere you want Be Free Anywhere you want Anywhere you want The future we dreamed of is waiting far beyond Be Free Anywhere you want Anywhere you want This beat of my heart as a guidance, finding signal of blaze light Heading straight no matter how the track is steep and narrow, moving on Everything has its “meant to be” There’s no impossible for us as long as if you believe in me We will shine like nobody else Don’t think, feel!! Be Free Anywhere you want Anywhere you want Be Free Anywhere you want Anywhere you want The future we dreamed of is waiting far beyond Be Free Anywhere you want Anywhere you want TWIN SOLO: midori & miyako Don’t think, feel!!

Oh wow - that's crazy! They have about 65 songs?? Well - that means it's possible to listen to all their songs one day!!!! 🤣🤘🎸 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE INFORMATION 💙
A lot of directions you can go... "Holy War" put them on the map reaction-wise, "Swan Song" (the live video with the Chopin open) is impressive, "When Destinies Align" and "Judgement Day" have incredible and exhausting dueling guitars, "We the United" is fun, "Edge of the World" is unique, and "Soldier Stands Solitary" is their most distinctive track. TL;DR -- you can't go wrong anywhere you go. Happy viewing!
Dang man. Lots of recommendations you have! And I'll definitely check out those ones when I have the chance! If this is your first time here.... welcome to my channel!!! 🤘🤘💙🎸
You have to see this band LIVE.... for example, "Holy war" LIVE 2020 or the recent "We are the resurrection" LIVE 2023.. on their YT channel. You'll have many surprises from these ladies. They are a wonderful metal band! Over 60 songs in many styles: fast, speed, thrash, power, ballades... for all those who love metal in any way!
My man, you're so deep in the wolfs den you can never leave! The wolfpack is your family and protectors from now on Might wanna check out anything from early era and finish with knocking at heavens gate live from last year. The leaders of the wolfpack (the band) has a anthem called "We, the united" and I highly recommend it from that live show.
They are not that young, apart from the bassist, Fami. They are in the 30-36 year range and are seasoned musicians with, by this point, one and half decades of experience (although the band was founded in 2016, they had all played in other bands before... again with the exception of Fami, which is their second bassist; she had her own RU-vid channel with bass covers and had published a solo EP before joining). The guitarists learned piano from an early age too, 2 and 3 years old; Miyako, the dark-haired guitarist, is also a concert-level pianist and does solo piano concerts. I see people are--again---recommending Holy War. Well. See their thrash side also, with Break The Wall live: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5Pc0XK0lNmU.html&pp=ygUYYnJlYWsgdGhlIHdhbGwgbG92ZWJpdGVz
Oh dang, I was completely off 🤣🤣 well regardless. This is some UNREAL stuff man. I'm really loving it. I'll definitely check that other one out too!!! Thanks for the suggestion!!!! 💙🤘🎸
@@CrazyAwesome Happy to make it. This is one of my favorite bands, and all of their stuff is great. It's not just power metal, they have classic 80s thrash and classic metal à la Maiden and Priest and a bit of hard rock too. Their songwriting and their arrangements are always top notch.
Spare a thought for Haruna on drums. Given that nearly all of their songs are this fast and intense she must have immense stamina to get through one of their live shows. I've seen her do it. 😊
Welcome to Lovebites. prepare to be mesmerized. This is their newest song released few hours ago. Check out their song "Holy war" live next. Here is link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bgAxpEpEcno.htmlsi=pCne287Ej6PKf4v1
Oh absolutely!!! And thank you so much for the comment. I will DEFINITELY check it out when I can!!! 💙🤘🎸 And thanks for the welcome! If this is your first time here, welcome to the channel man!!! 🤘💙
Welcome to the channel man!! I love to engage with my audience and I respond to all of my comments. I am a musician, I do guitar videos on my channel as well as reactions, so if you're interested in that, I'd love to have you subscribe and be part of my fanbase! 😎🤘 I'm a relatively small RU-vidr XD so it would help a lot but regardless. Thanks for the suggestion and happy to have ya here!
That brief, stop-start riff they pull off leading into the dual solo section still has me baffled after about 20 listens: What are the doing? Why are they doing that? How are they doing it? It is musically very interesting.
