without a doubt-just about all i listen to anymore-band maid for hard rock and lovebites for just plain kick your ass metal- i go back to destrose once in a while-the group that lovebites drummer and bass player were in before- and for softer rock still listen to scandal- there are plenty of others but those are my top 4
I just watched your reaction after watching the live screening of their recent concert in Tokyo this year and never seeing them live walked away after 100 mins wanting to see them myself personally, so awesome!!!😎. The Dvd of the concert comes out on 22/7
April? At least now I know when to expect it on Spotify. It's been driving me crazy that it's out in Japan, but I can't seem to get a hold of it in the States.
Guys, you have to see the girls live - I've been to Lovebites gigs with real, successful musicians and have experienced that guitarists, bassists and drummers didn't want to practice anymore after seeing these incredibly fascinating professional musicians live - beats any studio production!
I don't normally watch reaction videos, but have always been a fan of StaticAge's videos, especially your Band Maid ones. Appreciate your enthusiasm and commentary always! Some of the stuff I was going to comment was already pointed out below by Tim Gove, he's got the right of it. Fun fact is Miyako actually got her start in an Aldious cover band. It's crazy to study the scene but there's a lot of overlap between those bands back in the day and now. Been a while since I've checked out some of your vids, but see your fans are pointing you in the right direction with Mary's Blood, Nemophila, Zettai Club, Devil Within, and Unlucky Morpheus!

You gotta love Lovebites :-) I have the CD Clockwork Immortality but not listened to it enough yet. Thanks for your reaction and info regarding Lovebites. Although the guitarist obviously catch the eye and get their solos, what is it about Japanese ladies and drums?
The first I noticed beyond the great music was how dark Midori looked. I thought they had replaced for someone else. I am waiting for them to repost the video for "Golden Destination" as well. It was up in the US for a short time then blocked. It featured the song with live behind scenes footage. Do you guys know "Mr. Rock and Roll"? He is kind of funny and over the top. On another subject or band, Ladybaby has decided to come out of hiatus and perform at a Monster Energy sponsored event in Taiwan in May.
Lovebites is one of the better all female bands from Japan but there is a huge wave of all-female metal bands from Japan that started with Aldious in 2008.
Destrose actually came before Aldious(and Lovebites, Mary's Blood, and Fate Gear all sprang up from Destrose), Aldious was just the first to find success.
Glad you liked them!! Have you checked the new stuff yet ? Originator bassist Miho has moved on . New bassist Fami ( Fahmee) is one of the best in Japan if not the world . New record just came out after 2 years hiatus . I hope you'll like it .
Midori becomes "a bad girl" 🤘🤘🤘 In Japan, got tanned and dyed your hair blonde it´s a traditional trademark of "a bad girl" or in japanese a "gyaru" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyaru Even today, the tradition dictate for "good girls" to have very white skin and your hair black. Not just black... jet black. Young rebellious girls sometimes do this, and think that in Japan even today it´s forbidden for school girls until finish high school dye her hair or got a permanent, so looks like Mi-ya is the good gal, and Midori the bad one 😂 Also, look like Midori wears very short skirts and Mi-ya the long ones. Of course maybe all of this is only a pose to the public
To answer you question about the gown thing that would be Aldious, they are the first female group to bring metal to Japan! They cannot hold a candle to Lovebites! The best power metal group to come along in many years!!! They got their name from the song love bites by Halestorm
Aldious were the pioneers, 10 years + in the game. Lovebites have only been around a few years. The new record is incredible, definitely an album review please!!!! Thunder Vengeance is off the scale!
You may want to look up Show-Ya: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Show-Ya They were at it when all those currently popular bands weren't even born ;-) And they're still going strong!
Yeah they are all in there 50s and Show-ya still kicking ass. I mean keiko voice has suffered a bit do to age but she still puts naon yaon every year. And all the three bands I mentioned plus any lady who has been in band praises Show- ya more specifically Keiko.
This band is super talented and they keep getting better and better. You should check out their new stuff just released two months ago. May I recommend for your next Lovebites reaction to do "Winds of Transylvania" the music video they made for the theme song of an anime show. Here is the link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HsE4Ub_Pjh8.html
Yo they need all the american support. Apprently they are still having issues with electric pentagram Dropping in the states. I follow the band and the girls on Instagram. And they are still unsure when it will drop here.
yeah i usually get my j-rock and metal from amazon usa but i finally got sick of waiting for pentagram so i ordered it from jpurecords in england and had it in a week. super fast and easy-probably cost about 8 bucks more but well worth it. just another kickass cd from lovebites-got 'em all
@@DShiflet01 actually amazon is usually pretty good with a lot of these cd's but on this one notso much-they just kept moving back the release date so i finally went with jpu for just the cd as i don't have a bluray player.glad i did.another killer cd from our favorite metal warriors
@@DShiflet01 i thought that the limited edition was the cd and had a dvd for the battle in the east live performance in which case almost everything is for blu-ray players or if dvd for region 2- i found out the hard way when i bought the gacharic spin music battler that the dvd was region 2 and won't play on region 1 players-oh well i never said i was smart!!
Great song . Album reviews would be great . Have you heard / seen Lovebites live album/DVD ? They put it up for viewing on their web site , and its great .
I think that stream was on for the weekend. Now it's gone from their LOVEBITES website. I Love it the stream. Caught it live. Was EPIC. Start till finish.
"Worth it..." -Roger @ 5:18 Yes, yes it was. Not too over the top :-) The song was cool too. but the Electric Pentagram album has even better tracks on it than this one (IMHO, of course). It's a burner. They just streamed a full show the other night, if you haven't seen it, it's bad ass.
Show-Ya opened the doors for all female bands back in the 80’s. That is certain. Aldious gets the credit for the movement in the last decade because they showed it was commercially viable. The other band that needs to be mentioned is Destrose. Some may argue they were more important than Aldious. Destrose predated Aldious by a few years. Destrose were never that commercially sucessful and they were very unstable as a band. It is that instability that make Destrose important. So many musicians came through Destrose who later went to form other bands. Mary’s Blood was the first splinter band to form from Destrose. Lovebites was the last splinter band to form from Destrose. Miho and Haruna were the rhythm section for Destrose for many years.
