Sleep Token was beaten by LOVEBITES as best new band by Metal Hammer in 2018, LOVEBITES received the Metal Hammer Golden Gods Award! 🤘

This song was actually on their first album released back in 2017 and the video was released then as well. The reason it's showing it's uploaded 2 years ago is they re-released it without an ad promo for their tour at the time they had seamlessly added into the video itself. Asami, the vocalist, does sing in all English as she prefers those from Japan to think of her vocals as another instrument and then once translated from English to realize how deep the lyrics are. The two guitarists are world class, one also is a concert pianist. And as for the star cymbals you mentioned, Haruna made those out of old "retired" cymbals used as more of a decorative piece that just stuck with her from her previous bands. If you enjoy this song, you'll definitely be on a ride as all of their music is amazing.

Trust our comments, this is the best metal band on the planet right now.

This is the band for me. Love Lovebites 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🤘 🐺

Much like the Steelers defenses these petite musicians who wear their femininity proudly in heels and gowns are relentless in chasing perfection. This is the song that started the Wolfpack(fanbase) for many of us. However, you still haven't experienced this band!!! LIVE is where they thrive and they electrify the venue like few others. Insanely talented who play a mix of various genres and sub genres and even include classical influences and even a few ballet steps to boot. Pick anything LIVE and watch what the relentless pursuit of perfection produces on stage. These musicians are the vanguard of the rabbit-hole of J/Metal bands (many all female) that have spun a new wave of metal and one that many of us old metal heads have fallen in love with. Welcome to the Wolfpack and the endless rabbit-hole of insanely talented music from the J/Metal scene.

The video is from 2017 and their first album. As someone already mentioned, they beat out Sleep Token for best new band of 2018 in Metal Hammer magazine. This also led to them becoming the first and only all-female Japanese band to play Wacken.

congratulations, you have just discovered the best band on the planet ! 😀 metal + grace + elegance + beauty + sympathy + great musicians + great songs = LOVEBITES !

Miyako composed Shadowmaker under the influence of Scandinavian metal. It has five guitar tracks and two bass tracks. Guitarist Miyako and Midori chose it as their favorite song to play! From their first studio album Awakening From Abyss Lyrics: Asami Music: Miyako Arrangement: Miyako/Lovebites It came out in October 25, 2017!

Lovebites, no doubt, the best guitars solos.

Welcome to the realm of the Wolfpack (Lovebites fans from around the world) ! These amazing ladies play a seamless and innovative blend of speed-power/thrash/prog/neoclassical metal/heavy rock/power ballads which makes their sound unique and contemporary. Note that this band is phenomenal LIVE ! For a thrashier tone, check out "The Hammer of Wrath" LIVE : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pq6iirWFlbDJkZc.html . BTW, Lovebites will be performing the US leg of their world tour on : (1) September 6, at ProgPower XXIII, Atlanta, Georgia (sold out) (2) September 8, at Cambridge Room at House of Blues, Dallas, Texas (3) September 10, at The Echo, Los Angeles, California (4) September 12, at Café Du Nord, San Francisco, California Even more shows might be announced later, so watch this space. Lovebites' songs are all 100% in English (with the exception of one track). The lead vocalist has a powerful and broad mezzo-soprano range with a strong accent. This "Shadowmaker" MV was actually released back in 2017. They had a promotional/advertising break in the middle of the MV and they removed that portion and re-uploaded the MV in 2022.

Also watch Shadowmaker Live! Midori and Miyako adding so much flavor to this song when they play it Live, it’s their favorite song to play! 🎸🔥🎸🔥🤘

The video is actually much older than 2022, but in 2022 the original video was replaced because it included a promotional break for their 2018 album and tour (you can still see it in older reaction videos of the song). The band was formed in 2017, and their rise was seriously interrupted during the pandemic - like that of so many other bands (The Warning anyone?). The musicianship and technical skills of these women are second to none in this world. Their outfits and looks are something of a trademark fringe phenomenon - if that makes any sense. Other than that, this band is all about the music, not about being cute or sexy. Miyako, the guitar player with the Dean USA, is - in her free time - a performing concert pianist.

BABYMETAL is a vocal and dance group of 3 young ladies. For BABYMETAL there is a session band of musicians called KAMI BAND. KAMI BAND plays, BABYMETAL sings and dances.

Only things in common with BM: they are women, they are playing their instruments, genius composers (mainly Mincho and Miyako), all tier-1 musicians, no bad songs….

LOVEBITES is a five-piece 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. Their live performances are best: Their 4th STUDIO ALBUM, 2023 (Judgement Day; highly acclaimed (wiki), Guitar Solos galore): Judgement Day (music video) from their latest album, 2023 (power-thrash-symphonic metal): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o5mles2hkrabdH0.html ; Stand and Deliver (music video) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aq-deqRoyLbdoqc.html SHOW OPENERS: Thunder Vengeance (thrash - show opener): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r711arOiqNarmWg.html ; The Hammer of Wrath: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pq6iirWFlbDJkZc.html. However, this This is their first song from their very first album, 2017, but also the first with their new bassist. The previous live version of this song Awakening/The Hammer of Wrath is equally superb. RANGE OF METAL GENRES: When Destinies Align (power metal with insane solos), this is live kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m5pogtp4yLqXcqM.html, the music video is also worth watching. Shadowmaker (thrash/symphonic with insane solos): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rdNxfrWarJ6dgZc.html Break the Wall (thrash): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a7aTY7t8ldKynYk.html Set The World on Fire (thrash metal): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b5-qpqtnzq3DZpc.html ; Edge of the World (ballad with Gary Moore inspired solo): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i8Caq7Cbp9XUZ6s.html Epilogue (ending with flashes of Hotel California/Jimi Hendricks): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z9-eobt1y6vSno0.html TWO UNIQUE MASTERPIECE PERFORMANCES: The two songs below represent two exceptional performances that perhaps no other band can perform live: Swan Song (with Chopin classical piano intro) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/msl9idej29auoJ8.html ; Frozen Serenade: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d8too7SH2pO2fmw.html CLASSICAL PIANO EP covers/arrangements of Heavy Metal Songs: Interestingly, one of their lead guitarist (Miyako) just released a classical piano EP that covers Metallica (Battery), Gary Moore (The Loner), Yngwie Malmsteen (Far Beyond The Sun), Helloween (Eagle Fly Free), and Deep Purple (Burn)

this song in this video is what turned me on to LOVEBITES!! hopefully it has the same influence as it had with me. have a great day. nice job on the reaction!!

very well noticed: the "shadowmaker" video came out 2017, their second video. it had an ad in the middle of the video. in 2018 they won metal hammers award as "best newcomer". this version is the same video, but without the ad.

LOVEBITES - Shadowmaker lyrics: Caught in the noise, my thoughts are destroyed Trapped in the silence, it's so hard to breathe But still I go on, my hunger is strong Hoping that someone will grab my hand Stranded by moonlight I realize the cold of this world Maybe it's too late？ No one can save me From all of the darkness and solitude Cry, like shadows of the night I carry all the pain inside to justify why I'm alive Despite going through this hell Cause still my heart has hope No matter if I'm torn apart, I'll play my part Before I drown with secret thoughts of my heart Reckless and fast, how long will I last？ Dancing like puppets, I'm empty inside Fighting the fear, and grieving the dear Hoping that someday I'll be repaid Only my echoing heartbeats can prove that I'm here Am I all alone？ Even a faint light is too bright for me, I can't see a thing Hide, in shadows I reside I tremble like a heartless soul, no place to go In desolated land knowing no escape But still I wish to live Just waiting for a somebody to notice me Before I fall down to depths of the abyss SOLO: midori / mi-ya / both / miya Caught in the noise, my thoughts are destroyed Trapped in the silence, it's so hard to breathe But still I go on, my hunger is strong Hoping that someone will grab my hand Stranded by moonlight I realize the cold of this world Maybe it's too late？ No one can save me from solitude Cry, like shadows of the night I tremble like a heartless soul, no place to go In desolated land knowing no escape But still I wish to live Just waiting for a somebody to notice me Before I fall down to depths of the abyss Like shadows of the night I carry all the pain inside to justify why I'm alive Despite going through this hell Cause still my heart has hope No matter if I'm torn apart, I'll play my part Before I drown with secret thoughts of my heart ----- lyrics: asami music: miyako arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) album: Awakening From Abyss 10/25/2017

The band formed in 2016 and the Shadowmaker music video was done in 2017. It had advertising in the video that was later removed. Videos from 2018 till now are more elaborate in their presentation. They have performed in some of the large festivals including Wqcken and Bloodstock and will be starting a world tour this month. The US is not very aware of this great band due to poor promotion.

LOVEBITES was formed in 2016, so they have been in the business for 8 years now. (There was a hiatus of about 1 year and 3 months from 2020). This music video is an early work for LOVEBITES. If you are interested in LOVEBITES, it will be interesting to compare their playing and performance in the early days with the present (2023 and after). You can see that the high-speed energy that is the characteristic of this band has further developed into high-quality music. Edit: Oops, sorry, I made a typo. Their hiatus was 2 years and 3 months. ----- from NIPPON This text was created using Google Translate. I hope that the intention is conveyed correctly.

Thanks for reacting to amazing Lovebites and spreading the word; they deserve more recognition. These women are extremely talented, skillful and versatile exceptional musicians. They really shine in their live performances. Their main influences are Iron Maiden, Metallica, Slayer, Helloween, Angra, Judas Priest, Dragonforce, and even Gary Moore, but they have been developing their unique style. Some people say that they’re redefining metal. Miyako is also a concert-level classical pianist. Asami used to sing R&B, soul and jazz before she joined Lovebites. Those twin lead guitar solos by Midori and Miyako are already legendary, in just seven years. Some of their songs are uplifting, with a motivational message. Unfortunately Miho (bass) left the band in August, 2021, but in October 2022 the band announced the new bass player, Fami; so now they’re ready to set the world on fire. In an interview, Miho (ex bassist) said that they wanted to play as heavy as men but keeping their femininity. My next suggestions are “Thunder vengeance”, “The hammer of wrath”, “Break the wall”, “Set the world on fire”, “Above the Black Sea”, “Under the red sky”, “Scream for me”, “When destinies align”, “Raise some hell”, “Don’t bite the dust”, “Winds of Transylvania”; and for a different side of them: "Chopin Etude + Swan song”, “Empty daydream”, “Edge of the world”, “Epilogue”, “Glory to the world”, “Frozen serenade”, "Liar", "Spellbound". All live (please avoid Bloodstock because audio is not good, not their fault). BTW, their presentation at Wacken Open Air, Germany, 2018, was so successful. They toured Asia and Europe in 2018 and 2019. They toured the UK in 2019, supporting Dragonforce (they're good friends, by the way) Lineup: Haruna - Drums Miho - Ex Bass, backing vocals (left the band in August 2021) Fami - New bassist (since October 2022) Midori - Lead & rhythm guitar, backing vocals Miyako - Lead & rhythm guitar, keyboards, classical piano, backing vocals Asami - Lead vocals, some piano

Their new outfits are even more elegant with gold added to the white. They wanted to look elegant, not cute.

Even white costumes can be dyed in many colors with colored lighting. LOVEBITES' songs incorporate various metal genres, and the lyrics and songs have many different aspects, so the white costume makes sense. 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) Miho also thought about the visual effects 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.

welcome to LOVEBITES, they play heavy metal, and they play it damned good, these lades are friggin awesome, great music, great lyrics, great videos, LIVE is even better 🤘"

The fanbase is referred to as the Wolfpack cuz every album has either one or multiple wolves on the cover and that's their mascot, similar to how Megadeth has Vic Rattlehead and Iron Maiden has Eddie. The guitarists are Miyako(also a phenomenal classical pianist) and Midori, also known as M&M, the greatest guitar duo of all time imo. The drummer Haruna and now former bass player Miho, the bass player in this video, started the band in 2016 after being in another all female band called Destrose. The vocalist Asami never sang rock or metal before joining the band and she has a background in gospel, R&B, soul, and pop music. Frozen Serenade is a power ballad of theirs that shows a completely different side of what they can do from this song but their whole catalog is fantastic, so I would recommend going down the rabbit hole.

My favorite band over the past 6 years. Best dual guitar on the planet. This track is from their first album released in 2017.

Though the MV's are nice, Lovebites is best served LIVE. 🤘🐺🤘

LOVEBITES. They are listened not only by metalheads. Ladies came out of their metal genre and have wider spectrum of fans. They play Eclectic Metal. It means they blend as the first band in history all kind of metal mainly power and thrash with NWOBHM, heavy metal, symphonic metal, speed metal,hair metal, hard rock, rock, rock'n'roll, jazz, progressive pieces, funk and even punk. They mix all with classical music using operatic, R&B, soul and gospel skills of vocalist and grand piano and Spanish guitar skills playing. Sometimes they use typical Japanese melodic lines which are included in ENKAs_ melancholy ballads singing by Japanese women. Only their can do it.

Thanks, welcome to Lovebites

the problem with most Americans is that they have such a strong accent that they are unable to understand English spoken with a different accent. All Lovebites songs are entirely in English. By listening to them again and again, you'll be able to understand most of the lyrics once your ears get used to them.

Lovebites are coming to the US and selling the tickets soon.

All in English, but she has a strong accent. They have so so so many good songs. Live is always better, not that the MVs are bad. Been around since 2016. This was their second song and first major hit from a lot of peoples point of view. This song was actually 2017 I think, but the video is a re-release as the old version had an ad in it. Lovebites - The Hammer Of Wrath live would be a good next shout. But you could pick almost anything. Here are some broader suggestions that cover most of the bases regarding Lovebites styles. - Judgement Day (LOVEBITES / Judgement Day [Official Live Video taken from "Knockin' At Heaven's Gate"]) - Glory To The World (Lovebites - Glory to the World (Heavy Metal Never Dies - Tokyo Dome City Hall 2021)) - A Frozen Serenade (LOVEBITES - A Frozen Serenade (Heavy Metal Never Dies, 26/03/2021)) - Thunder Vengeance (LOVEBITES / Thunder Vengeance [Live at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020]) - Spellbound (Lovebites Spellbound Heavy Metal Never Dies Live In Tokyo 2021) - Raise Some Hell (LOVEBITES - Raise some Hell (Five of a Kind, 21/02/2020)) - Edge Of The World (Edge of the World (Five of a Kind, 21/02/2020)) - Winds Of Transylvania (LOVEBITES / Winds Of Transylvania [VLADLOVE Version] MUSIC VIDEO) MV for this one as it's so fun - Stand And Deliver (LOVEBITES / Stand And Deliver (Shoot 'em Down) [Live Video from Knockin' At Heaven's Gate - Part II]) - Swan Song (LOVEBITES - Swan Song [+Chopin Intro] (Five of a Kind, 21/02/2020)) - We The United (LOVEBITES / We The United [Official Live Video taken from "Knockin' At Heaven's Gate - Part II"]) - Painkiller cover audio only (Lovebites - Painkiller [Judas Priest Cover]) Almost all songs have absolutely banging guitar solos followed by a guitar duet. Complete shredders. Miyako and Midori on the leads, Miyako being the one with the darker hair Haruna going ham on the drums Miho owning on bass, though she left and was replaced with Fami who you will see in more recent stuff. Asami with the power on the vocals. The only band other than Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin (who I am to young to have seen in their prime) that I felt the NEED to see live, which will be next month in the UK XD Lovebites fans get called The Wolfpack because the Lovebites symbol is a lone wolf, due to the whole being metal but wearing white, positive lyrics generally, feminine vibes etc. I don't refer to myself as that as a fan because fandom names just so happen to cringe me out personally XD Of their roughly 55 song catalogue, around 40 are in my "Favourite songs ever" playlist, which is ridiculous, I have never added that many songs from a single band before, let alone one that has only been around for about 7 - 8 years, with some of that being on hold due to covid, it's insane. If you want some power metal, speed metal, thrash metal, kinda symphonic metal, occasional hard rock / lighter metal, very rare bit of cheesy 80s synth metal, metal ballad, then Lovebites have you covered within their catalogue. Plus the best Painkiller cover as a bonus.

Welcome to Lovebites. Nice reaction. So many song to chose from. Do "Set the world on fire" Live next.

MV 'Shadowmaker' was released in 2017. All official releases of LOVEBITES (audio, video) are of good quality ! The band deliberately plays in the twilight. In some shots, the lighting is deliberately set so that it shines into the viewer's eyes. So that there is no visual clarity. The MV is specially made a little “blurry” (Shadows). Why? Because the song is called 'Shadomaker' [Shadow] + [Maker] ! ))) LOVEBITES has released 4 Studio Albums, 3 EPs, 1 Single, 1 Compilation Album, which contain about 60 original tracks. There are also 6 Live Albums (audio), 8 Concerts on DVDs/Blu-rays, 11+1 Music Videos.

This band has substance. They are masters of their instruments (including voice).

When I read, "Worship Drummer" at first I took it as, appropriately, you had already chosen to Worship Haruna! imo, she is WORTHY!

This video is actually from 2017 from their debut album. Their earliest videos were released with ad placements in the middle (an anti-piracy tactic), and those videos were re-released in 2022 with the ad placements removed. Also, LOVEBITES sings entirely in English. Over the course of four original studio albums and three EPs of original material, they only have one song in Japanese ("Bravehearted" from their first EP), and even that was re-recorded in English for their debut album.

This music video was actually made in 2017 their first year. It came with an advertisement in the middle of it. So in 2022 they removed the outdated ad and uploaded it again making it seem like it was made in 2022 which it wasn't. So in 2017 their budget was a a lot smaller.

Yes, at their live shows they love to wear classy things, like they are going to the domestic ball party. Sometimes there are "long" ) And sometimes - shorter. And I want to applaud you for using "speed metal" reference, not "power metal". Because in this particular track the term speed metal is more accurate.

Best metal band to come along in decades. Elite musicians. Their 2 guitarists are 2 of the best I've heard ever. Babymetal is great at what they do, but no where close to being a real band. Lovebites is going on tour this month in Europe and then 4 dates in the U.S. in September. The Japanese metal/rock scene is currently putting the Western talent to shame with few exceptions.

Welcme to the Ladies of Lovebites Tech. Class elegance beauty and kick ass musiciens... Over 60 songs to go if you Dare? Enjoy the ride. Best wishes from France 🤘🇨🇵

You've been introduced to the best metal band since 80s to date. 5 super talented ladies that dedicated to play heavy metal, thrash, power/speed, prog, neo-classical, hard rock, rock classic, power ballad. all songs were written beautifully and played in epic scenery. Dig more to experiance it..👍

Welcome to the best band on the planet, at least according to me. 😀 I had never heard of this band until 8 months ago and they have been blowing my mind ever since. Continue with this journey, you are in for a wild ride! We are the wolfpack 🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺 join us for the best music if you dare. 🤘🥁🎸

Fantastic band! Went out of my way to be able to see them live four times this June on their European tour. Saved up some money and bought train tickets and one flight, booked accommodation and took those days off work when I'll be seeing and hearing these fantastic musicians live on stage. Best summer ever!

This was released in 2017 and was re-released 2 years ago. The band at that time consisted of - Haruna "little BIG Engine" drums (4'9"; 1.45m) Asami "The One & Only Voice" vocals (4'10"; 1.47m) Midori "Crazy Shredder" guitar (4'11"; 1.5m) Miyako "The Golden Touch" guitar/piano (5'2"; 1.58m) Miho "Natural Born Head-Banger" bass (5'1"; 1.55m) nicknames given by the band

Lovebites is the most talented ladies in metal. Yes, she does has a heavy accent in her singing because English is not her natural tongue. But her technicality and range is world class.

I was waiting for you to get to Lovebites... Can't wait to hear what you think!

Many of your questions will be answered when you do a reaction of a live performance.......

you did the right song but you should of done the live version from 2021 live!!!!!

2022 was the year of the re-upload of that video (it contained some very old advertisement for concerts and CDs). Founded in 2016, this is their second OMV from 2017, so that they could play it 2018 at Wacken W-O-A (Germany) and Bloodstock B-O-A (UK). They've toured in 2019 with DragonForce in the UK and have a lot of live albums. After a Covid hiatus in 2021/2022, the came back with a new young bassist last year. She just turned 22 today (Fami).

Welcome to LOVEBITES 🤘🏼🐺🔥 Here some information about them: The band was formed in 2016 by original bassist Miho and drummer Haruna. Their first EP and album came out in 2017. So far LOVEBITES have released 4 albums, some Singles/EPs and also a bunch of DVD/Blu-ray live recordings. Back in 2018/2019 LOVEBITES have already toured in Europe, including appearances at the major metal festivals as Wacken, Download, Bloodstock, Graspop. In 2018 they also won the Metal Hammer UK Golden Gods Award for best new band. Then came covid, their original bass player and founder Miho quit the band for personal reasons and two babies were born. After a break LOVEBITES came back with new bassist Fami and new song „Judgement Day“ in late 2022. A new album with the same title came out in February 2023. This year in June LOVEBITES‘ first world tour starts in Europe. In September they will play their biggest headline show ever in Tokyo (8,000 seats). After that LOVEBITES will have their US debut … The band members of LOVEBITES are (including their official nicknames) Asami on vocals (the one and only voice): She has an amazing vocal range and vibrato, writes most of the lyrics, also did parts of the song writing for their latest 2 albums, she is a former ballerina and RnB/soul singer Miyako on guitars, piano, keyboards (the golden touch): She is the musical brain of the band, main composer and arranger, a soulful but also shreddy guitar player and concert level pianist, furthermore she is a gear nerd Midori on guitars (crazy shredder): Incredibly fast and technical guitar player, has contributed to songwriting for a few of their songs, also she is a body fitness athlete Haruna on drums (little big engine): Plays very fast pace over long distances, she is very efficient and her stamina is admirable, the cymbal work is outstanding, she also wrote one of their songs including lyrics, creates handmade miniature fake food Fami on bass since 2022 (shining fingers): Absolute bass prodigy with outstanding technique, she speaks faster than sonic speed as she plays and smiles non-stop Miho on bass until 2021 (natural born headbanger): We will never forget her, she is a great bass player, she wrote several of the songs for the band’s albums 1-3

You need to check out their live videos! Lovebites has 60 songs!

star cymbals are for spinning and decoration

Akane of Band Maid and Haruna of Lovebites are friends also

They are going on their first world tour that includes USA

Some call it Eclectic Metal, it's LOVEBITES' own style, a mix of different HM styles, Power, Speed, Symphonic, Thrash, NWOBHM, etc., up to Hard Rock (even Punk and Classic). They have well known influences from 80s and 90s HM, and own them by doing their own thing.

Fun that you choose a Sleep Token t-shirt: With this and the other songs from their 2017 first album, Lovebites beat them as "best new metal band" in 2018's Metal Hammer Golden Awards. What lovebites have is VERY BAD marketing: VICTOR (JVC) has been doing very bad promotion of the band since the beginning. People have been asking for the band to have concerts in the USA for years... but they haven't just done a proper tour. his year it seems that they will have their first concerts (we will see how many). In Europe they did have them before COVID, and in a few days they will start another one at festivals and metal venues. (I'll see them at Resurrection Fest along with Baby Metal and many other bands)

(Howling intensifies) Welcome to the Wolfpack. Once bitten, there is no turning back. 🤘😎🤘

Great and honest reaction, Lovebites it's right now one of the best bands of the scene, recommend you soldier Stand Solitarily, swansong and under the red sky. Live please!

This video was their very first major release back in 2017. Their live videos are next level. They can play at these speeds with absolute precision. Their songs are very melodic and well written. I would suggest listening to The Hammer of Wrath.

You aint see nothing yet. They are really special, especially live. These girls are the best metal band in the universe right now

You got lots of info already, so I'll just say Congratulations. "Shadowmaker" MV was the second video the posted on youtube and the one that opened the world's eyes to them.

Japanese　girls❤

Best metal band around. All of their music is cool AF.

SHADOWMAKER, released in 2017, is from LOVEBITES *first* album. Just amazing. (What you see is the date the video was posted on KZfaq. DVD/BluRay/CD sales remain a big source or revenue or the Japan music industry.) Lyrics are 100% English. Whirled Peace will post them for you, no doubt. Watch some live videos and many of your questions will be answered. Start with SET THE WORLD ON FIRE and HOLY WAR. BABYMETAL are an Idol Pop trio formed more than ten years ago. Their sartorial style is generally “Gothic and Lolita.”

Yes, IIRC, it's cut Chinas in star shape. She's connections to a Japanese producer, so it's easy for her to get customized stuff.

LOVEBITES is always dope.

the band formed in 2017, the year of this song and video, but as a promotion for the first album, of which this song is a part, the original clip had a passage to promote the album and the tour, this clip was re-released in 2022 in a collection that released with the songs of the bassist who left the band, in this version the clip re-released in 2022 does not appear in the promo promoting the album ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n9OJdth1vb3IaX0.html ). Lovebites sings only in English, it's the accent in the pronunciation that made you mistake it for being Japanese.

Prom metal 😂😂😂. 12 days away to seeing them live!!

All their songs are in English!! They form their group 2016, Miho the bassist and the drummer haruna were the founding members,they have almost 60+ songs all are good songs, and you have to watch them live, they are very good when playing live,Welcome to lovebites!!! Midori💚💚💚💚💚 Miho💜💜💜💜💜

Excellent choice for first time listening Lovebites. It's an earliest song, and it's a powerful one. For another reactions I'd suggest: Hammer or wrath; Thunder vengeance; Set the world on fire.

Your really missing a drum showcase not watching them live. Lovebites is life changing.

Live, Live,Live always live is best with these ladies. Easy to seem cool in videos and with studio wizardry but live is where you really appreciate the immense skill of these ladies. Please pick a live track.

All in English…you are in for a treat. These ladies are on a par with The Warning and Band Maid, different flavour but they are totally awesome. Check out Swan Song with Chopin intro,!Soldier Stands Solitarily, Frozen Serenade, Judgement Day, Glory to the World. Like BM and the Warning go for the official live performances, they are superior to the recordings, maybe with the exception of SSS so far….

your mission, should you choose to accept it. is to follow the path, and to listen to some live songs.wolfpack for life.

lovebites always live! :D

Singer Asami's (100%) English is sometimes not easy to understand, but after some time, you'll manage that. The reasone for her strange pronunciation (she lived for some years in the US, her casual English is much clearer/don't want to say better!) is a very peculiar one: She uses her voice as an instrument! So the sound is much more important than audibility or grammar! Some (also live) videos have English subtitles, which makes it easier, but expect 100% English (except for 1 out of 55 songs from their debut EP, that *also* exists in full Japanese, BTW an awesome version!)... and "whirled_peace" is very busy posting lyrics, just wait for it!

If Iron Maiden was an all female Japanese band ]:P

This track is LIVE !!

Agree, for the most part music in the USA is crap, especially rock and metal. I went to Japan and Europe to listen to that genre. Midori and Miyako (M&M) are the best guitar duo in metal today. Their catalog of songs has variety and doesn't have one bad song. Band-Maid is a rock band, Babymetal is just an idol band for commercial purposes.

Welcome to the Wolf Pack (Lovebites Fan) You Have been Bitten she's singing totally in English

I can't wait for you to hear "Glory to the World".

Listen to their live shows

she also had her star kit with Destrose

it kind of comes down to that bands like lovebites, nemophila, bandmaid and many others are simply incredibly devoted musicians with very high levels of skills. Like many other commentors already said. I walked into Lovebites thinking "oh a female metal band", but nowdays theyre simply just an outstanding metal band who can pretty much do anything and everything and they keep getting better. theres a deep metal scene in japan overall so theres tons of super talented male musicians aswell, i would put Miyako and Midori (lovebites) up with Syu from Galneryus (for sure one of the best guitarrists to ever live) as some of the top ones from japan, possibly even worldwide!

Thanks for checking out Lovebites, Teck. This video is actually only their 2nd MV and was originally released in late 2017 with an advertisement in the middle for a 2017 EP and some concert dates. At the time, they had been a 'Band' for less than a year. They lost their original bassist and co-founding member *Miho* in 2021 and went on hiatus for almost 2 yrs (because *Miyako* (guitar) and *Asami* (vocals) went on Maternity leave. All Lovebites lyrics are written and sung in English. They mostly write their own music: Miyako writes about half, and Asami writes almost all of the lyrics. They recruited 20yo bass phenom *Fami* in Oct 2022 and released Judgement Day in 2023 - *(Live version)* kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r791iKqdq7Sme5c.html

🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺💪🤘🤘🤘🤘

I do believe we are being besieged by some troll commentary. LOVEBITES fans aren't typically a rude group, and there are several un-Wolfpack-like barbs being tossed around. I hope this won't sway your opinion of the group or their fans. We are a welcoming Wolfpack! Thanks for your time and interest in all these wonderful Asian bands! You could spend years in discovery mode in this realm!

📢TEMAZOOOOOOO‼️ 🤟🏻🔥🐺🔥🤘🏻

🤘🐺🤘🐺🤘🐺

I like the sign on your shelf

All Lovebites songs are in English. Asami has a strong accent.

Listen closer. Theres more going on with the guitars on the chorus then just the major chords.

Visten siempre de blanco y deberias ver mas videos y sobre todo que sean en directo yo te los aconsejo todos

Great stuff! I'm not the biggest speed metal fan cause, for me, too much of it sounds the same and I walk away with "through the fire and flames" stuck in my head. But that's more the fault of the genre than the musicians, imo (same with rockabilly). As always a great reaction! 🔥🤘😝🤘🔥
