Yep, that's our Midori. This is just an older video shot before her "ponytail" look.

@pablomg9742 3 жыл бұрын

Midori was under dental treatment by the time this video was filmed. She was wearing braces and her face was slightly swollen, so she and the crew chose to show her face as little as possible.

You should try this "Rising" live at Zepp Diver City Tokyo 2020. You'll be surprised to see how smooth and quickly Miyako comes back to guitar from piano. She not only quickly flips back her guitar in the position but also she has to quickly switch mentally from piano to guitar which is very difficult. And also she had to switch the rhythm from waltz to power metal. She switches so smoothly that there is no time lug but usually you need a beat or two to switch. She was switching as if there isn't any change of instrument and rhythm....well naturally...she even plays both instrument simultaneously as you know.

@ChrisPage68 3 жыл бұрын

They're about faith in *yourself* rather than religion. Glory To The World is about humanity recovering from the pandemic. It is NOT about religion. 🤦 When Midori and Miyako harmonise, statues cry...🔥🤘💜🐺

LOVEBITES - Rising lyrics: Failure or pride? The fear deep inside Success doesn't come with a few empty tries Fortune and fame, seem easy to claim But those who've succeeded defeated the pain Why give up on a life that you love? Play the game with no shame till the very end RISE AGAIN - though you're broken and scarred... You can choose, not to lose, you can build it again! DON'T LET GO - of what's deep in your heart You are free to fly, go and change your destiny! Too late to change? The past will remain But it's up to you to decide on a name Glory is not what miracles brought The path you have taken will lead you the way Why give up on a life that you love? Play the game with no shame till the very end LIVE AGAIN - with the vows in your heart Even if you get lost in the darkest of nights DON'T FORGET - that you've made it this far Show your scars with pride and believe your history... Sometimes we can't see the light anywhere Sometimes we don't have our luck in the air Almost like we've been left by ourselves I'm alone, you're alone, somewhere in the world But open your arms, look up and you will see an endless blue sky l believe, you believe, we will live out today So it leads to tomorrow! RISE AGAIN - though you're broken and scarred You can choose, not to lose, you can build it again DON'T LET GO - of what's deep in your heart You are free to fly, rise above your fate! LIVE AGAIN - with the vows in your heart Even if you get lost in the darkest of nights DON'T FORGET - that you've made it this far You are free to fly, go and change your destiny! ----- lyrics: asami music: miyako arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami)

Gotta say, Jen, the Dragonforce comparison sells the girls short. Yes, DF are technically the benchmark, but Lovebites have better songwriting and are much more versatile. Take Dragonforce, add the songwriting of Iron Maiden and Metallica, add some Joe Satriani improvisation, the brutality of Black Sabbath, and make them look like models, and you have an approximation of Lovebites. Just sayin'

Don't forget the Helloween influence. The funny thing is: I was never a DF fan. Just something about them, never really hit me. But LOVEBITES on the other hand, is my #1 band right next to Symphony-X !!! So I never compare Lovebites to DF. To me, they are not even close to the same level.

Try their song Scream for me, studio version. Same time they did Burden of time. In scream for me Midori and Miyako trade solos back and forth for minutes. In studio Asami has a funny reaction while their soloing. But yes that is Midori. This was filmed when Midori still had her hair down live. More recently, she’s had it in a ponytail. When Midori was at the Namm trade show in Anaheim, California, January 2020. She played in the Kemper amplifier booth. Midori uses Kemper profiler. You could Sit on floor a few feet in front of her while she played. She then chats, shakes hands, selfies, etc. very freindly person.

@hiawatha.g 3 жыл бұрын

That's Midori. The video was shot in at least two sessions. The session on the cliffs was shot before the studio part. I've heard that she had a little work done on her face around that time, so she may not have wanted a lot of direct face shots. Just a possibility, but this is the exact time frame when she completely changed her look.

@jonasw3945 3 жыл бұрын

What work done one her face ? I think the only thing she had was a different haircut, and at that time she was with another band so maybe she just didn't want to stand out a lot.

@TheCyberMantis 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah, that is the rumor. Honestly, they don't need to do that. They were always beautiful and perfect. They don't need make-up, clothes, or surgery to be beautiful. They are naturally beautiful! We would love them just the same. But we understand they have a professional "image", and they try to be consistent with it. Nothing wrong with that, we really like the pretty princess dresses they wear! It's unique, something no other metal band does! We will always support them, no matter what they choose to do. Wolfpack for life!

Oh man I’m indecisive if I like Midori’s hair down and strait like in this video or if I like her wavy hair /ponytail current look. 🤔. She slays the guitar in any case for sure. I think my favorite is Miyako ... she is a beast on guitar and she slays the piano as well. Her playing style is so smooth and soulful. But it’s such a treat to hear both her and Midori play together. Is there a better guitar duo in a band out there ? The gals from Nemophila are the only ones I can think of that may challenge them ..

As others have commented, Midori, used to have dark hair that has changed style and colour to the bleached blond look, you are used to seeing. In addition, in earlier live shows Miyako, used to be far more animated. I think both changes happened at the same time and were deliberate rather than an organic change. My view is that I much prefer Midori's earlier look.

All five members of Lovebites are superfans of Helloween, who pretty much invented Power Metal, so some of their songs really reflect that influence, and this is one of them. It's not really a DragonForce thing, although DragonForce (and every Power Metal band) are also heavily influenced by bands like Helloween, so there's that. I'm not a DragonForce fan, and Lovebites are my favourite band, so I always find the comparison a bit weird, but you're not the first person to make it and you won't be the last.

@@TheCyberMantis Yeah, I think it's an American thing. Power Metal never really took off in the US the way it did in Europe, Japan, Brazil, etc. Helloween and bands like Blind Guardian are way more popular and influential in Japan than DragonForce. But in the States, people know DragonForce from Guitar Hero, so when a lot of Americans hear bands that are influenced by the classic Power Metal bands from 30+ years ago, they immediately think "DragonForce".

Well, troll, she has zero background in heavy metal and didn't know who Iron Maiden or Bruce Dickinson were. Her background is R&B and Gospel. She auditioned for Lovebites, and after they picked her, she offered to try to sing more "metal", and the other four told her not to, to sing the way she normally sings, and that's what she does. But you're accidentally right in a way, even though you meant it as an insult, because her vocal style IS reminiscent of Bruce's.
