She may be gone but she will always be in my heart as a member of Lovebites....and I'm always glad to see her and that she's well and have good time...

Great way to kick off! Very interesting interview. Keep up the good work!

So nice to see Miho again! This was a great interview! Miho is looking beautiful as always! 🥰🥴 I am glad she is staying busy with her music projects. We want her to be happy doing what she loves to do. I look forward to Part 2 of this interview! Thank you Miho! ☺

So happy to see Miho out and about, looking happy. Will forever miss her with Lovebites, but look forward to whatever she ultimately does do next. So much Metal attitude and love for the genre. And a killer tee shirt collection!

It's relieving to see her doing well.. Ahh how I missed her so...😢

Awesome to see MIHO happy and getting back into metal. If she finds her motivation to start a new band, it would be an instant success. 🤘😁🤘

女性バンドが多い理由が目からウロコ

english subtitles is very important ! thanks so much....

It always seemed to me that Miho was the real thrash enthusiast of Lovebites. I will be curious to see how Lovebite's sound evolves without her influence, as well as the direction Miho's next project takes her. I'll be honest, the thrash elements of Lovebites are more compelling to me than their symphonic offerings.

確かに…。日本はどんな小さな楽器屋さんの貸スタジオでも、ちゃんとしたドラマセットも機材も揃ってますからね。楽器屋さんとしては宣伝になりますし、初心者としても良いアンプやドラムを使って練習出来るのは有り難いですからね。重い機材をわざわざ持ち運ぶ必要が無い。この辺が近年、日本で女性だけのバンドが急激に増えた理由の一つかも知れませんね。MIHOさんの仰る通りだと思います。

This is a well done interview. It's nice to see Miho again and to hear her insights. It's interesting to hear about the venues having gears already and it making it easier to rehearse. And no surprise that Saki already has a project with Miho and Maki.

My sweet lord,MIHO🎵 Happy to hear that you want to be active in a new band soon😊Looking forward to part 2‼

Superb interview! So nice to see Miho again. Was very sad to see her leaving Lovebites. Big thanks for translations. I'm huge fan of Lovebites, PassCode, Nemophila, Raise A Suilen, Wagamama Rakia etc etc. For female driven rock & metal lovers like me, Japan is a heaven! Great bands. As a guitar player I've wondered what they have in their drinking water - the amount of skilled female rockers they have there is tremendous. For example Lovebites, full of superbly talented musicians whose live playing is flawless, absolutely flawless. Keep them female rockers coming and thanks again for this interview!

Will always admire, respect, adore, precious Miho. I was stunned, disappointed, when she left Lovebites, but wish her every happiness, success. Lovebites is my favorite band, all time, all genres. Miho created Lovebites, so will be ever grateful to her. Have to say, I also admire, adore, Fami, the precious young lady who replaced Miho with Lovebites. I hope Miho keeps in touch with her former band mates in Lovebites. I think they really love her, did not want her to leave.

Ohhh menn that was my heart!!!🥰🥰🥰 This amazing feeling to see her smiling talking about how she became this monster of metal badass heavy sound!!, thanks guys and all the best for all the crew hope this project goes where you people of THE Heavier Japan want to!!! 🔥🔥🤘🏼

Great interview, and special thanks for the english subtitles!

Nice! Thanks for this interview👍

みほちゃん。かっこいいぞ。（因みに、日本にメタルファンはいます。安心して。むしろ欧米よりいます。人口比で。母数が違うんですよ。海外って１９４か国だから）

Bravo Rosana:Miho 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻! Great first part of this interview! It is fine to know you feel happy and also the origens of your taste for Metal Music... just waiting for the rest 🤘🏻🎸🎸🤘🏻

I am glad to know that the fires of metal are burning stronger in her heart, I would love to see her having fun on a stage and see how her taste as a musician is developing. I'll continue keeping attention to Rosana's career. Knowing that she loves games too I wonder if she enjoyed the Guilty Gear soundtrack when she was young. During those early stages of the internet here in Barcelona the only japanese content that we got were games and some animes, so this music was certainly my first contact with japanese metal music when I was a teenager, around the time they were doing Guilty Gear X and XX. I say this because of the Dreamcast Miho's story, that's where I found the music. Still an excellent music still to this day.

this was a very interesting interview. thank you and thank you, miho-san. made me happy to see you and to hear about the current activities and plans (maki-san has a killer voice). we´ll never forget how much heart, soul, real metal attitude and phenomenal bassplaying you put into lb. 💙🤘

It's always good to see Miho, and happy that she's doing well with her current activities. 💜 Thanks for the interview!

Wishing Miho all the success in the world and beyond. 🐺

The fabulous MIHO has all my respect, i hope that in the near future when she feels comfortable she can create another great band.

mihoちゃんがんばれ！

Great interview and will definitely be coming back for more. Really hope Miho stays in the music scene. Interesting that when younger she looked outside of Japan for metal whereas now metal/ rock fans are looking to Japan because of all the great, mostly female , rock bands

Great interview guys. Thanks for choosing Rosanna Miho as your first interviewee. She totally rocks! Looking forward to pt. 2. Wishing this channel every success 👍🤘🎵

She will be always a GODMOTHER of LOVEBITES... Thank you Miho.. Wolfpack will never forget you...

Wow. Thanks so much for the interview. It’s really nice seeing Miho again. To me, it’s clear that she didn’t leave Lovebites because of her father’s death. Thanks, Miho, for creating a miracle (Lovebites).

I agree with Wave, great "kick off"! What a treat it is to hear beautiful Miho's voice! Great to see she's so positive and planning future projects. See is a kick ass bassist, a brilliant songwriter and a hard working leader. I'm sure she will excel at whatever she chooses to do with her music, and I'll be there along for the ride! I'm all in here at The Heavier Japan!

Miho and Saki are not only great musicians, but also have a very pleasant good character. And like most smart people, a very good sense of humor. Miho, Captain Mina, Joshi, Eye, Mari and Saki are still young women. Despite this, they are already the legends of the Japanese female heavy metal scene. Great people and great role models for the young musicians to follow, I admire them all.

Looking forward to Part 2. みほちゃん！🤘😄

自分が楽しいと思うことは何でもする。MIHOさん、応援しています。

Happy to see you Miho!! This is awesome!! Looking forward to part 2!! 🤘😃🤘Excited for the DDS project, want to see you play again!!

For me Miho is Lovebites and I hope that someday, after experimenting everything she wants in music, she will return to this exceptional band.

Thank you so much! That was a very interesting interview, and part 2 can't get here soon enough. Also, thank you for the English subtitles. I look forward to more content on the channel.

I found Miho's thought interesting that the big wave of Japanese All Female Metal Acts was - at least partly - because of the clubs being equipped with basic gear unlike in Europe and the US. I remember Miyako saying something similar about the most striking difference performing in Japan vs. Europe/US.

元気そうで良かった。ニューバンドでまた海外に羽ばたけ！

That was very interesting. Now I'm waiting for the second part of this interview. Miho is so cool musician! Her bass playing is amazing. I like her headbanging during performances. She is so alive. Thank you for this interview. I hope you will make more interesting stuff on the channel.

miho様、近いうちにバンドとしてメタルシーンに戻って来て欲しいです😀♥️♥️

Great interview so far! Love Miho gets really deep into her past about what got her into music. One might have suspected it was anime that got her started. 😆 Especially knowing her love of anime stylized video games. Looking forward to part 2, but also Miho's DDS involvement, and potential new band in the future... 😊

Trust me when I tell you that, were you to tour extensively across the U. S., you would find no shortage of able-bodied metal-heads that would gladly help you pack/unpack your gear. Always glad to see you, Miho-chan. Stay metal! ❤🔥🤘

Nice interview and thank you for the subtitles. Looking forward to part two.

Japan really has good musicians, male and female across all genres of music and a lot play more than one instrument. For those of you that don’t know, Japan has the largest music industry in the world after the US.

I love Miho and Lovebites more than any other band in 25 years, but a few serious words must also be possible from time to time between friends : All of the great rock bands of history have enjoyed enduring success and later fame because of their exceptional musical characters. The different types and characters and the friction they create in their work within the band resulted in the extraordinary and ingenious song material. If you are a mature person, you have to realize this over time. The result is then that you realize that you can never avoid arguments in the long run, but also the realization that you always have to make peace afterwards in order to continue successfully. This not only applies to music, but also when doing business or politics. I think that all 5 women still don't understand why Lovebites is such an extraordinary band and why the fans like them and their music so much. But least of all, Miho understood that. Miho still hasn't understood what a capable and great bass player she is. She let the techies talk her down (fans and professionals) and probably blames Miyako. --- Miho and Miyako you are the congenial duo of Lovebites whether you like it or not ! ! ! A new bass player is just around the corner, there's no turning back. Still, I would recommend Lovebites to get Miho back on board somehow. It would pay off. But making that decision takes self-confidence, cleverness, imagination, determination and great courage. To Miho: 5 cans of beer a day, being offended and a huge ego don't help and will also have a harmful effect in the future. To all LB women: If you don't understand what I mean now, promise us to think about it again in 3/4 years. Maybe then the penny will drop... To Lovebites Management : Don't blame Miho for this interview and the resulting discussions! It's good for us fans, for future Lovebites projects it's all positive. I know you Japanese concrete heads don't get it, just trust me...

Great interview miho -san,congrats.

1:38 Oyama maki-san, Yoshi-san, Saki-chan, hina-san SAKI and Miho get along so well that Miho calls SAKI-chan. Yoshi is a kind person, so I think Yoshi wants to let Miho know that friends are close to her. And I would be happy if they played Carmen Maki & Oz-崩壊の前日）"The day before the collapse of order".

I am very happy man. Fantastic news! Fantastic interview! It´s more than beautiful for me to see this amazing video with MIHO. I wish her all the best! She looks so beautiful as always. She is a very happy. It´s the most for me. Thank you so much for this amazing video. Have a good day with my heartfelt greetings :-).

Hey man, this was great! I have a podcast with 3 other guys called the Gaijin Guys and we'd love to collab with you. Feel free to message me, Dicodec, Ryan Mear, or Wave Potter in reference.

interesting interview, nice to see Miho again

I still watch it regularly. Miho's interview is always 🆒 らぶ

I really loved this first part of the interview, Miho told us a lot of very interesting things! Looking forward to the second part! Miho💜 Thank you!💜

Good stuff! I’m so happy to get to know a little bit more about Miho!

I love Miho because I love Destrose. Thanks for the interview!

I'm glad to finally hear from Miho. Great interview.

_Does This Look Infected?_ is such a great album. Miho had good taste from the beginning. Glad to see what she’s up to! Thanks for the interview!

This is great! Thank you. 😊

When Miho speaks of stage presence, we're hearing it from an icon of stage presence. Miho standing there with her instrument, leaning forward, was one of the most powerful and also one of the sexiest symbols ever seen. I think a lot of her fans, including me, wondered just what went on in the background of her leaving Lovebites, so to see her so positive, so involved, and looking into the future was a real relief.

Saki is in another project. She is the busiest guitarist I can think of.

🤘💜🌸Miho has a lot to tell us, at least 10 next chapters won't be too much😁Thanks The Heavier Japan 🤘 Arigato gozaimasu Rosana Miho🐺🌸🌸🌸🌸

Rock and metal aren't dead, they just moved to Japan.

🤘🏼🎸Good Job for the future Miho🤘🏼

This was very interesting! Thank you very much for doing this interview. Since Miho left Lovebites, I have been thinking about how she is doing and what will her plans for the future be. This update is very welcome. Great start for your youtube channel. I'm looking forward to part 2.

So good to hear from Miho.

I'm Glad Maki Oyama be part of 5 great musicians in new music project, hope always succes for Miho and friends

Hope your channel goes well. Its hard to get good information out from Japan mainly through the language barrier and they enjoy privacy a lot more than the west. I personally love your concept and execution with this. Best of luck to Miho in her future career as well. Cant wait to check out more videos and have subscribed. 🤘 If you are up for a challenge Id love you to find out what has happened to Maiko from Dazzle Vision. A band that folded just before the Japanese metal Tsunami started its roll into western hearts.

very interesting interview , thanks

The reason why there are many talented female musicians in Japan is they are free in the society. They can do and try whatever they want. There are no stereotypes such as the drums are something men do.

You can make it a half hour interview or longer we won't mind.

► Мона Ліза з Японії! 😍Моя кохана МIHO! Дякую за музику, яку ти граєш! 🤘🤘🤘

Great interview!!! So glad you chose Miho as the first guest. Maybe it is in part two, but the biggest question everyone wants to know is "Why did Miho leave Lovebites?" I hope you asked her that question.

Miho-san 🤘🏻👑☺☺😊😊

Truly hope Miho remains in the music scene and finds exactly what she wants! She was a big part of Lovebites and will be missed. Regarding KZfaq views and western exposure, I found Lovebites only due to reaction videos on KZfaq, and only recently. Likely would never have known of them otherwise. Most of these reactions are older too - 1-2 years ago. I have been trying to get popular vocal coaches and musicians who react to music on bigger channels to react to them, but for that to happen, it seems like the distribution company needs to stop blocking them and allow monetization for reactors, and view reaction videos as free marketing. They should also stop deleting and reuploading Lovebites videos, because some of them should have had millions of views by now, but don't, because they keep getting reuploaded and are not gaining momentum in the algorithm. As for western exposure, literally anyone who is into metal, and many who are just into good music, who hears Lovebites, instantly recognizes the talent on display and most become immediate fans. They are very popular, and rightly so, in very small, aware, metal KZfaq circles, and very limited word of mouth. They won't get played on the radio (at least here int he US) for a host of reasons I have complained about to myself, and agreed with others on YT, as regards other foreign artists of all genre. I had never heard of Nightwish either, until only a year ago, again due to KZfaq reactors. The best way for western exposure is Wacken (which they have done, and should do again), and a tour with a really big band (they have done it with Dragonforce in the UK). For the States, they would have to open for a really big metal band to get the exposure and traction they need. It is a very challenging hurdle to do that. Even Nightwish tours here in the States at really, really small venues, and I only just heard of them, and saw them the first time this year.

Damn, miss her so much in Lovebites!! But I am happy that she's happy doing her thing. Big shoes to fill and she'll always be LB to me!

Happy to see Miho, she's still metal girl. From that hint, seems like she's prefer more simple music playing rather than much technical and multi-instrument, so a band can more moveable on stage (Sorry if i'm wrong). Nice interview..thanks👍👍🤘🤘

Congratulations and good luck in everything you start

今日、新ベーシストの発表を見て、やはりミヤコなどと方向性が決定的に違ってしまったんだね。Mihoのバンドを早く立ち上げて欲しい。メタルよりハードロックの方がMihoには合ってるきがする。めちゃくちゃ応援してる。

みぽりんがんばれ！

ミホちゃんもこのチャンネルも👍

What a beautiful and talented woman

Very interested in seeing and hearing her new band, when it comes about. Miho is a great artist. and will always be remembered for her time helping form Lovebites, and performing with Lovebites.. I'm very curious to know the actual reason(s) she left Lovebites..There's been some speculation here of a falling out with a member, or members of Lovebites, but all is just speculation, so I don't want to read too much into that..Looking forward to the next installment..❤️❤️‍🔥Rosana:Miho❤️‍🔥❤️

Miho my GODDESS.. ❤️❤️

Wonderful. Thank you so much! Looking forward to part 2 of interview with MIHO. ❤

❤

I miss Miho so much. I hope she gets inspired and puts another great band of girls together, but anything she does will be good. She is toocreative to just play covers, it is probably like therapy for her for now , allowing time to separate from LB and get fresh ideas and vibe together, She is a charming all metal girl that anyone would love to team up with. We will patiently wait for her to come up with another killer project. : )

🤘💜🤘

Miho is always interesting. Good interview, though the questions were a bit standard.

Great stuff!

やはりと言うか、自然と狼が集まるね〜😅🐺 After all, wolves naturally gather~

Mihoooooooo !!! Saludos desde Argentina.... Me Gustas mucho.... 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🙋🏻‍♂🙋🏻‍♂🙋🏻‍♂🙋🏻‍♂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Rosana ❤

🤟😵🤟 I hope "DOWN DOPE SQUAD" becomes a permanent band ⚡

早くLOVEBITESに戻ってきてほしい。LOVEBITESは今もオーディションをやっている とは思いますが、やはりベースはMIHOさんが一番しっくりきます。 ずっとLOVEBITESを推している人間としては、LOVEBITESにMOHOさんが居ないのは悲しい。 やはり、MIHOさん含めた5人でLOVEBITESだと思います。

Wow yoshi and saki

just a metalhead miho san 🤟

She's cute... and beautiful.

Mihoo my sisterr

お酒はほどほどに。

Lovebitesを突然やめて一身上の都合で完全に引退と思っていた。違うバンドでまたやるの？
