I am glad, that you enjoyed the song. The mixture of playing the piano and the power metal works incredibly good in this song. And the drummer is insanely good, i think.
You have done just one song from Lovebites 😲There are so much more great songs from them 🤘🏼🤘🏼 I recommend : "Edge of the World", "Frozen Serenade", "Epilogue"
And that ladies and gentlemen is how you do it! An 8min MASTERPIECE. I have seen this video hundreds of times and it NEVER gets old. This is a MUST see experience for anyone who truly appreciates music, regardless of genre. Asami's vocals knocks it out of the park! Great react and one of the few I've seen with no pausing so good on you! These ladies are out of this world talent. Miyako (pianist / guitarist) is obviously a virtuoso but Haruna (drums) is the one who shines in this one (my opinion). Her timing and pace is impeccable! Greatest 4' 9" drummer on the planet, hands down!! Hope you get more Lovebites patron requests, they are a blast to watch! 🤘🐺
@@sabina1118 Theres no confirmation of new look at all, but they introduced their new bassist dressed in black, so people are speculating new look. Personally I think they will stick with white, its too iconic for them, plus it compliments what their music is all about. I think a change would be as weird as band-maid without maid outfits.

Ok, I came here to watch you react to Dimash-which you do with such a wonderful depth of emotion I subbed your channel just baseds on that. Then I had to try some other music you react to and now you have introduced me to this astonishing Lovebites group. Wow! Brilliant classical piano and kick a** metal?!? Sabina, I am so happy I found your channel-you are a marvel my dear. 😀
Miyako is a Great Musician.....she composed & recorded 6 demo's for the Electric Pentagram album, all 6 became songs including Swan Song ! So Try, " A Frozen Serenade " ❤️🎙🎸🎹🥁😎🤘
Miyako is the composer and arranger. Asami, vocal, wrote the lyrics. Miyako was on track to a concert pianist or certified teacher. At 17/18 she decided to become a Rock/Metal guitarist. Got a guitar and a "How To" book, No Lessons!! Midori, guitar, dropped out of Pharmacy school and picked up the guitar at 20 yo. A common story with the Japanese Rock/Metal bands are the members with the same background of music at a very early age, then picking up the guitar, bass, drums in high school to get in a band. They chose to wear white because they very petite, Asami - 4'10"; Haruna - 4'9"; Miho and Midori - 5'; and Miyako - 5'2". By wearing white they felt the lights would reflect off the white allowing them to be clearly seen. Rock/Metal stage are usually dark.
I think Mr Chopin would have approved of the piano intro…looks as though the pianist was also the guitarist..respect. Clear Iron Maiden influence with this song as well as a hint of Dragonforce, just to help things along. Japan once again reminding us that they have a strong part to play in the world of rock/metal, and no doubt receiving due recognition. Wow, this band are something else…Geisha meets radioactive Saki and spawns the rising sun. Sabina…an emotional looking response…highly appropriate🙏🙏
LOVEBITES has a couple of masterpieces, i liked them from a reaction 3 years ago. A another masterpiece is "Frozen Seranede" . And the fact that they have a new bassist brings possibilitys for new magic and musical moments. Finally , ett stort tack för reaktionen Sabina och Henning för en bra request. Love from Sweden.
It is well known that LOVEBITES has researched many famous rock bands since the 1970s and applied them to their current activities. But guitarist and pianist Miyako has hundreds of years of classical music stored in her head. She is free to take the data out of it and use it in her composition work as needed. SWAN SONG can be said to be one of the symbolic achievements of her ability. I believe that being able to bring elements of classical music that have been appreciated for hundreds of years into contemporary metal music constitutes LOVEBITES' musical prowess. If you want to check out the great achievement of metal and classical fusion by LOVEBITES, I recommend the following songs. "DYSTOPIA SYMPHONY" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sTKHKsRLz9w.html This is a magnificent piece that Miyako completed inspired by Beethoven's two piano sonatas "Moonlight" and "Pathétique". (Although it is a dynamic expression that is the exact opposite of the quiet and dark image of the original song...) ---------- from Nippon *It is a sentence using Google translation. I hope I conveyed my intentions correctly.
If I remember correctly all of the band member are classically trained. Miyako studied piano for many years before she picked up the guitar. I think you can hear the classical influence in some or their songs.
I have just subscribed to your channel because your reactions are always sensible, calm, reasoned and without interruptions. I am 70 years old and without wanting to criticize or denigrate old or current metal bands, these young women are the greatest metal band that I have been allowed to hear and see! And by far ! 5 geniuses who completely changed my musical universe. Continue with this group and have fun. Finally my wish is that they come for a tour at my place in France...
Great reaction video, Sabina! This song is one of the best songs in the history of HR/HM! Miyako has been playing the piano since she was 3 years old. She is a trained classical pianist. Miyako created Swan Song in honor of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake! Swan Song is a true masterpiece! Have a beautiful day with my heartfelt greetings form the Czech Republic🙂.
The Chopin piece performed by Miyako (guitar/keyboard) as the intro is "Etude OP10, No12", known as "Revolution Etude" In 1831, an uprising of some officers and civilians against the Polish government under the de facto control of the Russian Empire, dubbed the "November Revolution", failed due to the direct intervention of Russian forces. Chopin is informed of this news during his travels. he lost his place to return to. When the Russian army invaded Warsaw, Chopin's agents released "Etude OP10, No.12" in Paris. People called it a "revolutionary etude" because of the agent's exaggerated promotion of the song. Miyako composed "SwanSong" with reference to this "revolutionary etude" and Dvorak's "New World Symphony". Former ballerina Asami (vocals) wrote a poem inspired by Norse mythology and "Swan Lake" based on the historical background of "Revolutionary Etude". "SwanSong" is a requiem dedicated to the warriors who fought to reclaim fatherland, a masterpiece that only LOVEBITES can complete. LB's songs will give you new discoveries and surprises for each song.
Is it just me, or can anyone else imagine Lovebites being backed up by the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra in one massive concert performance? Imagine a Lovebites performance of Swan Song with Chopin Intro collaborated with the Tokyo Philharmonic! 🎉🎉🎉
another golden reation, mmm "lovebites"? i guess my homework is to search for their music, i loved them and amazed by their music and style!!! tks for another golden video!!!
Yes and how impressive they all are making this masterpiece fusion of classics and heavy metal.I specialy love Haruna on drumming nonstop easily ading the solid rythm with effortlly elegance
LOVEBITES - Swan Song lyrics: If this was the last day you could live on this earth Would you still go on, accusing someone for today It’s better to fail than not do anything at all It is not the length, but depth of life that counts Oh brave soldier Oh gallant warrior Valor to those who died in battle to Valhalla Believe what’s in your soul For death will come to all You shall rest peacefully in God’s Heaven Floating lotus You are so graceful Saintly and glorious Till the end of time Floating lotus You are so beautiful Sing me your sweet song The legend of the swan If you’ve never hoped, you’ve never been though despair Ignorance is bliss, it’s easier to not care You might think it’s meaningless to sacrifice a life Sometimes the life of one can save so many more Oh brave soldier Oh gallant warrior Valor to those who died in battle to Valhalla Believe what’s in your soul For death will come to all You shall rest peacefully in God’s Heaven Floating lotus You are so graceful Saintly and glorious Till the end of time Floating lotus You are so beautiful Sing me your sweet song The legend of the swan SOLO: miyako / both Floating lotus You are so graceful Saintly and glorious Till the end of time Floating lotus You are so beautiful Sing me your sweet song The legend of the swan SOLO: midori ----- lyrics: asami music: miyako arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) from Electric Pentagram 2020
Thanks Sabine for coming back to Lovebites. I remember when I last saw You reacting to "Glory to the World" and at that time, I had just listened to the band for half a year so, they were quite new to me as well and I really liked Your reaction to that song and this time was no exception. I hope You will find the time to do more Lovebites reactions, however I can see that You have qiute a following and with that follows a lot of bands to check out, but if You do find the time please check out "Rising" MV or Live from 2020 and just maybe "When Destinies Align" MV or perhaps live. Anyways, keep on reacting since You are one of few that are worth watching, to be honest, I just hope I'll get a reason for doing so more often. Have a great weekend!

congratulations for reacting to our beloved group. Especially, and I congratulate you, you have an incredible number of subscribers. You are doing a service by making this wonderful group known to many people who do not know it. This band by its talent deserves a worldwide recognition and should be in this musical sphere which is the heavy metal, with the legendary bands which made the history of this music. Let's hope that one day we will be able to say that we were in the years preceding this so much awaited ascension the witnesses and the precursors of their diffusion and of our testimony to the greatest number. Thank you again and if you can make other videos, don't hesitate.
Everything seems like 'up side down' with Lovebites. Feminism in manly world, Wedding dress playing power metal, fast music with uplifting lyrics, classic feeling in chaos serounding, operatic voice in thundering beat..but its all got brilliantly beautified.. nice reaction cutie👍👍🤘🤘
As a Japanese, I think lovebites is a talented band. I would like to support your channel more. I would like to see a video reaction of Japan's leading band ONE OK ROCK.
A band that doesn't have a bad song in their canon. I see Frozen Serenade and the three 'E' songs are getting mentioned as the ones where they blend something else into the metal. The three Tokyo concerts (2019, 2020 and 2021 ) are a joy to watch, how they maintain the pace for coming up to 2 hours (as Haruna on drums) defeats me. The bass player and band founder Miho left for personal reasons (the death of her father really hit her hard, watch 'Journey To The Other Side' from 2019 for an emotional moment) and following a hiatus for babies for Miyako (the pianist/guitarist) and Asami (singer) + open auditions they've selected a RU-vidr called Fami as the replacement. She is a great exponent of slap bass (loads of views of her doing Alien on her channel), so she might bring yet another sound to the mix. Midori is the other guitarist, who's taken up competitive bodybuilding as a side gig.
Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Listening to this song, I remember "the GazettE" and the song "UGLY". I hope you can react to it. Greetings from Chile.
This is a Miyako composition and if you listened closely you would have heard the entire composition was influenced, infused, by the classical work of Chopin, not just the end.
That was a great reaction. I loved your smile and could tell you were enjoying it a lot. One note - You really should proofread the comments that you added. I counted at least 7 typos in the text.
Found this chanel today. Already a fan. From Portugal, im asking you to do a fado/metal genre. NOIDZ-Estranha forma de vida. Need to see how you react to this.
There are several other songs that Miyako composed inspired by classical music, such as the fusion of metal and classical music incorporated in the intro. "Empty Daydream" (Live in Tokyo 2019) is by Sergei Rachmaninoff (Rachmaninov) "Moments Musicaux Op.16 No4" is incorporated into the intro. The "Empty Daydream Live in Tokyo 2019" song has the feel of Michael Jackson's "Beat It". The song was performed at the time by JENNIFER BATTEN, one of Miyako's top 5 favorite guitar heroes. There is also "Winds of Transylvania" (Live video). Beethoven Symphony No. 5, Op. 67 "Fate" is incorporated into the introduction.
Haruna is the bomb on drums she's like a pocket nuke she beats the drums as if they stole her boyfriend and she wants him back. Miho the Bassist founded the band in 2016 with Haruna they had been together in a band called Destrose. they recruited Midori on Guitar and Miyako on Piano/Guitar then R&B Singer Asami to learn to sing Power Metal they have 4 albums, 3 EP's and 4 Live albums No bad songs and in 2018 they won the Metal Hammer Golden God award for best new band an award previously won by Anthrax and Avenged Sevenfold 2 other impressive bands. If you loved Miyako's Piano skills wait till you see this piece A Frozen Serenade ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ae8pQVu-RN8.html with Miyako breaking off to play Piano in middle of song as Midori plays the Acoustic guitar and snow falls onstage. Asami as usual incorporates her ballet skills as she dances during this portion.
@@sabina1118 I’m listening to their Best Of album, and they strongly remind me of Brazilian power metal bands like Vandroya and Angra. You may want to check those bands out someday.
I’m one who commented in another of your reaction videos (not Lovebites). I’d watched you occasionally over a couple of years and always enjoyed your videos. But I only really like to see what people think of music I like, because my listening history goes back 50 years, and it’s great to see people enjoying what I like to refer to as actual music, rather than the garbage that comes over the airwaves nowadays. That was until, by chance (via Nightwish, who I saw live 18 years ago) I came across Lovebites. It was then that, after about 12 months, I watched your reaction to “Holy War” and thought “great, now she’s going to do some more”….. but no! I was mortified. After all, us fans know what the first time reactor doesn’t know…that songs such as this are just a click away. It is no exaggeration to say that Lovebites are biologically incapable of mediocrity. They do excellent, divine or masterpiece…that’s it. Asami the vocalist trained to be a ballerina, but I think was told she was too tiny to do any serious roles. Instead she adds much needed elegance to the genre of Heavy Metal…not bad for a woman who, until Lovebites, barely knew metal existed and was by then an accomplished Jazz and RnB singer. It’s her ballet background that makes her so poised on her pedestal. And you probably didn’t notice (so please go back and look before replying 🙂) but as Miyako returned to the piano, Asami performed a perfect “Dying Swan” from Swan Lake. Please don’t wait so long for the next Lovebites reaction. The more exposure they get so their talent gets to be witnessed and enjoyed by more people. They deserve it. Most talented band this 63 year old has ever seen. Seriously.
Thanks for reacting to my favorite band.That was another masterpiece by Lovebites.May i suggest another masterpiece by lovebites called Frozen serenade.link:ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ae8pQVu-RN8.html

When you are that skilful then confidence is a given. Blowing all metal norms clear out of the water they should be compulsory viewing in all girls secondary schools to show that there can be no barriers or limitations to any genre of music you just need to be good enough.
