This band has blown me away live! LOVEBITES interview at Rock Imperium backstage 2024 

Please help me make this trip count! Together with Judas Priest we continue raising funds for medical equipment for Ukrainian civilians - metalpilgrim.net/JudasPriest

I'm very happy that Lovebites are getting more and more attention. They more than deserve it. They are opening a new era of heavy metal. Glory to the Wolfpack

These girls are pure gold, the future of heavy and power metal for sure. Love them so much.

I love all the exposure Lovebites is getting on this tour. This is exactly what they needed! Wolfpack is growing faster now. Lovebites are the queens of metal! 🤘🏼🐺🤘🏼

A few years ago I wouldn't have dared to hope that one of the younger bands would come along again and play classic heavy metal with 2 absolutely top lead guitarists. And then came Lovebites.🤘🤘

When Asami said Judas Priest, I was so thrilled to hear that, my favorite bands are LOVEBITES and Judas Priest. Thanks for this interview with these awesome beautiful ladies! 🤘🐺

Great interview and welcome to Lovebites !!

Aaaaaaaaaa the queens are here! Absolute ADDICTED to Lovebites, can't wait til this tour hits South America. And seeing Midori mention Kiko Loureiro makes the Brazilian here smile with joy.

Thank you for highlighting LOVEBITES so well - saw them one week ago in Belgium and it was a dream come true - I've been listening to them for five years and never thought they would come back to Belgium again! As I was part of the venue staff, I've seen that they're totally genuine, unpretentious and adorable people too. They deserve all the praise and love from the metal world!

I came across LOVEBITES via magazine article saying which bands to look out for, prior to the release of their second album, which said for fans of Iron Maiden, Helloween & Stratovarius. I thought I'd give them a try and searched for them on youtube and listened to a couple of songs and immediately fell on love with them, and was annoyed I didn't know they existed. They have been on my play list ever since.

Welcome to the world of LOVEBITES!!! 💯👍👍👍

Been an "enthusiastic fan" of them for 4 years now and yes, they are that good. Incredibly strong musicians and song writers. And performers. Sadly the metal world is still full of gatekeepers and haters who won't even give such a great new band a chance. They're missing out on a lot. Saw them live 2 times last week and will see them again in London on monday 0701🤘🏻🙂

Wow! I’m impress with both of their English skills. Hope they do more interviews like this. Rock on 🤘 LOVEBITES!

Very cool that you got to see the festival and Lovebites. Even better that you were able to meet them and interview Asami and Midori.

LOVEBITES brought me back to heavy metal!

So happy you gave them a chance, and watched them in their right element. Though I like their studio material, I feel, just like Rush, it's on the stage they really shines. One of the fiercest double leads in the business in Miyako and Midori, very accurate harmonies that gives association to Tipton/Downing and Murray/Smith. Just with some more "flair". When the original bassist (Miho) left because of personal reasons, most fans feared she would be hard to replace. Fami stepped in, and many realised she was a known RU-vidr and went in seamlessly though she is +10 years younger than the rest of the girls. Probably the happiest bassist I've seen in a while. Haruna... one of many extremely talented female drummers in Japan. Keeps pace with most males. Asami.. Great singer. And by some called a female Bruce Dickinson!

I have been a fan of Lovebites for several years. I realized a long time ago that when I reach for their music, in an overwhelming number of cases I open RU-vid and watch concert material. This is a great concert band that multiplies the power of its music when it plays live. That's what I felt while watching RU-vid. A few days ago I did something I promised myself - I took the chance and saw the girls on stage in real life. It was a small venue in Milan. The fact that the club was small was an advantage. The atmosphere was as if I was moved to the early 80s and watching Iron Maiden in some small club. There was so much freshness, sincere emotions, enthusiasm, joy in playing and receiving music. Priceless. Without a doubt one of the best concerts I have ever been to. The small club (Legend club) worked well, but these girls' place is on the biggest stages, stadiums and concert halls. They really deserve it.

Wolfpack here!!🤘🐺

1 week and and I will get to see them live, it's crazy to think that the ladies of #lovebites who play such powerful music on stage, are such beautiful souls, the contrast between them whilst working and chilling out and relaxing is staggering, and shows just how professional they are. ❤️🤘🎤🎸🥁🎹🐺🇬🇧

Midori English speaking really surprised me

Got the chance to see them in italy, and they were fantastic!! The awesome music, and the ladies were super fun with the crowd all night!! 🤘😊

Love Lovebites 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🤘 🐺

They are awesome. Glad they are on a big tour.

They are currently the best power metal band on the global scene.

MAIDENS QUEENS OF HEAVY METAL 🤘🏻🐺 LOVEBITES 🤍

Lovebites is such an amazing band, every single one of the women in this group is a virtuoso at their art. So glad you finally got to see them live - I am looking forward to my chance in the US later this year! (I hope!)

Midori and Asami are so adorable! 🥰 It was cute how Midori was explaining the tour name: "thin line between love and hate". From what I have seen so far... no hate, only lots of LOVE for them! ☺ At the end, Asami said she wants to tour with Judas Priest and maybe sing "Painkiller" on stage with them! That would be AMAZING. 😍

thank you so much for this feature - they deserve all the exposure they can get

Great video and interview. I am so glad you created this.

Their english is getting really good!

saw them in London, gutted i can’t get back to london in July. the music is awesome and the ladies seem to be so nice and down to earth.

I fully understand that there are restrictions when touring live overseas, but I think it is quite sad that Miyako's keyboard performance is omitted.

Thanks and greetings to Asami and Midori for a charming interview!

It's been easily over a decade since I've been this obsessed over a band as much as I am about these young ladies. They're seriously monstrously good, and I have no doubts they'll only get better with time.

❤ Bites! Great interview MP... Hope they get to record or play with JP, would be the ultimate gig for them as artists. They are phenomenal.👏🤘

Wasn’t expecting Metal Pilgrim with Lovebites - Fave channel & fave band!🐺🇪🇸🇯🇵🇺🇦🤘

Nuno also attended a LOVEBITES concert in Tokyo last year. He was playing at the same venue with Extreme 2 days before.

A little more and Lovebites will be giving lessons in heavy metal. And they are already doing it.

Can't wait to see them on the US leg of the tour!!

I'm so gratefull to saw the girls last weeknin Germany. They have a new big fan. 🤘

The main principles of the band presented by Miho, the founder and first bassist of LOVEBITES, are as follows. ①Heavy metal (basic policy) ②All English lyrics (strategy for global expansion) ③White costumes (Most metal bands wear black costumes, and if these short girls wore black costumes, they would be hidden, so they wear white costumes to contrast and stand out.) ④High heels (to compensate for short height) The white costumes can be dyed in various colors by colored lighting. They wear white outfits and are lit up with colored lights that reflect the themes and genres of their lyrics. The white outfits have an advantage because LOVEBITES' songs incorporate different metal genres and there are many different aspects to their lyrics and music. Miho also thought about the visual on stage. Asami will modify stage lighting effects etc. on-site. For white costumes, each person requests their preferences and ideas from the costume staff. Thank you for your continued support of LOVEBITES.

Love this band so much. 5 great musicians and one amazing band

i am totally excited that you finally found the best new metal band in the world!!! i know you are a metallica maiden and priest fan which i have seen between the three bands over 115 times. have a great day and hopefully you will continue you to follow and promote these ladies!!!

Thanks for your interview to these incredible musicians and for uploading the video!!! Great questions and interactions with them!!!

Lovebites are legit shredders and masterful performers.

Fan since Shadowmaker and loyal Wolfpack member. So glad they finally get to tour outside of Japan and get to show the insane talent of the band to all those who have never experienced this group. This band is a BUCKET-LIST item and I only wish they could add more dates in the Americas. However, Miyako has some piano tour recitals in Japan and I know that limits their availability.Nonetheless, much like Wacken they will blow away the crowds who come to see them. Thank you for the added exposure this band deserves so much more!!!!!

the greatest female band all of time

Next metal gods, yes. I confirm.

All their music are bangers. Very rare. Their 2023 album was my album of the year.

been holding up the Horns for Lovebites since 2019. Was so jazzed to see this video in my feed!

They're awesome ! I saw them in Belgium ! ❤❤❤

LOVEBITES Beautiful Goddess Asami, Harupi, Midori, Lovely Miyako, Fami 🤘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🤘, let's goo Stay Safe and Stay Metal Cheers from U S #LOVEBITES

And I thought Asami's favorite vocal hero was Mariah Carey. 😄 Thanks for interviewing Lovebites!

Thanks for this! I'm seeing them live in San Francisco in Sept. This has just stoked my excitment. Lovebites is one of my bucket list, must see bands!

Ellas son el presente y futuro del Heavy Metal. LOVEBITES!!!!!

Midori💚💚💚💚💚

I believe Midori's English is better than Asami's which is probably why she fielded most of the questions.

Finally! We did it!! Hopefully you can keep putting out more interviews like this

Metal!!!

I'm gonna look up Lovebites They are awesome chicks This interview just showed that Metal is universal Metal is magic

Would expect nothing less from the Destrose family of extraordinary musicians. Captain Mina would be proud and is!! Rock on Ladies!! 🤘🎸🔥

I never knew Midori could speak English that well.

This is one of my favorite Japanese bands. I saw them live in 2020 (Osaka) - amazing!! 🎸🤘

Finally!! 🐺🤘🏻

Thank you to LOVEBITES members Asami and Midori for the interview, their impressions of the festival, and the announcement of their new EP. From Japan.🐺🐺🎤🎸🙇‍♂

It's so cool! Thank you for uploading this valuable video. めっちゃかっこいいっす！貴重な動画アップありがとう。

Midori is so good on the whammy bar, going to be in Dallas soon

not even a metalhead, but i love LOVEBITES 🐺🤘

Midori is Fire! She studied music/guitar at the ESP Musicians Institute in Japan and graduated a master performer and instructor. Her insane precise laser shredding comes from the curriculum of the teachers and instructors she studied under. Some are Well known in the Japanese Metal and Progressive scene like Syu,Ohmura,Fujikoa, Satoshi Oka,etc..... They really are a Unique and Great band. Their sound is familiar but completely their own. WolfPack!

LOVEBITES POLSKA GIVE ME THE BEAT 🇵🇱🇯🇵🇺🇦🐺❤🎤⭐🥁🎸🎸🎸🤘

Lovebites is the best metal band in the world, PERIOD!

By far the best modern band :)

There are so many bands I either didn’t much like or thought were just okay until they blew me away live. I was only kind of into Poppy until I saw her live in February and was stunned by her energy and presence. She definitely rocked harder than most “real metal bands” I’ve seen.

Awesome!

Dear world rock fans ・・please discover this amazing band‼️ Asami-san the vocalist is so excited & cute on interview after their live performance.

Awesome, I would love to see Judas Priest collab with Lovebites.

well said midori.

I LOVED THIS SO MUCH

They shouldn't just be playing at festivals, they deserve to be headlining festivals.

Well said and Well done Metal Pilgrim... They are the best

LOVEBITES TE AMOOOO‼️ GRACIAS POR EXISTIR EN MIS TIEMPOS DE METALERO, SON LA MEJORES 🤟🏻🔥🐺🔥🤘🏻

LOVEBITES RULES !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Metal is not Dead!!!...🔥🔥🔥🤟🤟🤟🎸🎸🎸

ありがとうございます！！

I think those festival appearances are gonna gain them a lot of new fans - they look great on a big stage :) I caught the Milan gig this tour in a more intimate club.. and also gonna go see them on Tuesday night in Paris \m/

Thank you for showing us this amazing band!! And i prayed they say judas priest as Collab 🤘

Those girls are awesome

That was great to watch. Thanks for the well-done interview.

They're great, everyone check em out!

One of the best metal bands out there at the moment, and I say that as someone who likes but doesn't love power metal and thrash metal in general. As ever with the top bands, the musicianship's great but it's the songwriting that sets them apart. In particular Miyako Watanabe with her classical background. And they're the tip of the iceberg for the Japanese scene. Among (pretty-much) pure metal bands they're my favourite, but there are a lot of great bands who blend metal with other genres.

It was a nice interview! It was fun!

I'm sooo happy to watch this stuff! Thank you! I would say Lovebites captured so many people's hearts! Their English are also great! Please remember, ９９％ of the Japanese can't speak English like that! 大成功だった様でとても嬉しいです！彼女らの英語は国際人として充分通用するレベルで、新しいファンも昨晩沢山生まれた事でしょう！ありがとう! ９月１日楽しみにしています！❤

Imagine if they play Break The Wall, Raise Some Hell and SSS in front of old school metal bands 😅

LOVEBITES RULE!!! Wolfpack forever...🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

There is a clear guitar hero about such music, it is Richie Blackmore! His culture and spirit is present in Lovebites' music as well. (Check "Burn" by Deep Purple)
