Since you like Metallica and Iron Maiden, you're definitely in the right place.

I felt so privileged to see Lovebites twice a few weeks ago close and personal inc their sound check in London lol and to meet them after shows. Such a down to earth band who have so much time for their fans , they are so talented the best of the best .

The Drummer Haruna is a Beast and at a staggering tempo as well. Incredible band and Every Member is Virtuoso Class. Midori and Miyako may be the best guitar duo in Metal quite honestly. Perfection. Next from Lovebites Try MDO, Hamer of Wrath or Winds of Transylvania. Out of their 60 songs there really is no dud. Cheers!

you have no idea what rabbit hole you're going down with Lovebites. They have been my favorite band since 2019...

"Break The Wall", "Hammer of Wrath".

YUP. I felt the same way - the perfect band - elite talent, great sound, great solos, great voice, and so easy on the eyes.

Correct - mission complete. Perfect band.

I was an 80's metalhead and you are spot on. These ladies remind me of the early days of the Mighty 3Ms: Maiden, Metallica, Megadeth. Another thing about these ladies that I really love is, I mean aside from each one being drop-dead gorgeous and both talented AND skilled, is that all their songs are positive and evoke strength against darkness. A message much needed these days. AND no tight, leather and twenty pounds of metal in their face, repulsive makeup and full-shirt tattoos. Feminine. Classy. Beautiful. Kicking ass!!

Yup! Iron Maiden and Lovebites are like an unbroken lineage, and those she-wolves are the Merovingians of Classic Heavy Metal🤘🐺🤘 Nothing wrong for those who like the bajillion Metal subgenres that came after the Golden Age, but I was just on suspended animation until my usual ol' favorites released something... until I went deep into J-Metal. The realization that "Old School" Metal wasn't on its last legs was shocking... Thanks Japan for being anachronistic in many ways (you can still find fax machines at every Japanese office), especially about music. Genres like Hard Rock and Metal aren't just surviving in Japan, they keep thriving and improving. The live scene is insane. And more shocking is, a good chunk of Metal bands in Japan are all-female, how cooler it can be? And they're awesome players and singers. And they're so nice with their audience. I don't have any reasons to become a grumpy metalhead living in the past lol, I embrace this future wholeheartedly. September I'm seeing both Lovebites and Iron Maiden. I still dream about both bands sharing the same stage🥲🤘

This is a great concert in terms of execution. The girls are simply brilliant. The bad thing is that it happened in the middle of a pandemic and the public was reduced . with strict measures. You could only applaud and raise your hands.

The 2021 Ride For Vengeance tour was under covid restrictions so the crowd could only clap but LOVEBITES put their all into it. One of the band were 4 and a half months pregnant at the time. It was also the last shows that featured the original bassist, Miho. Here's a more recent one with the new bassist - Nameless Warrior” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/etJibNear6nGfoE.html

The bass player in this video was Miho, co-founder along with Haruna, 2 of her main influences/favorite bands were Iron Maiden and Metallica, I think this was one of the reasons why Asami was a first choice because of the similarities with Bruce Dickinson, notice also how she plays bass,and 2 lead guitars. 🤘🎸🎤🎹🥁🐺🇬🇧 I seen them last week and they are masters of the craft

these Ladies are friggin awesome

You seem to really enjoy the synchronized guitar duos. You'll be pleased to know that 90% of LOVEBITES songs have synchronized duos, and they are all as good as this one if not better. It's a joy for me, as an old skool metalhead, to witnessd another old skool metalhead discovering LOVEBITES for the first time. It's such a shame that there are still millions of Iron Maiden and Judas Priest and Metallica fans around the world, who would probably also love LOVEBITES, but simply don't know they exist. Fortunately, channels like yours are slowly helping to get the word out.

I love the gallop in the guitars. It's like the musical lovechild of Iron Maiden and Metallica. (lol - you've reached the same conclusion as me).

Cant wait until these ladies come to the nordic countries for some shows

Awesome reaction, these ladies are truly the Goddesses of Metal, they have everything you could possibly want in their set list, looking forward to the next one. Regards Wolfpack UK 🐺🤘🎸🥁🎤🎹🎶🔥🤯🤘#LOVEBITES.

Stunning .. wait till you hear Miyakos piano skills .. that’s always Stunning 👌👌

The 80's metal is my kind of stuff, Metallica, Maiden, Priest, etc. and I had the same reaction on discovering LOVEBITES - I found the perfect band! I recommend Thunder Vengeance live and they do a cover of Painkiller that you must hear to believe. Rock on!🤘 🐺🤘

It is so awesome to see a true first reaction to Lovebites. Everyone is like “Whaaat?” at the beginning and “New favorite band” at the end.

Yes, they are the perfect metal band. These women are extremely talented, skillful and exceptional versatile musicians. Their main influences are Metallica, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Slayer, Helloween, Deep Purple, Yngwie Malmsteen, Angra, Dragonforce, Gary Moore, etc., but they have been developing their own and unique style. Asami used to sing R&B, soul and jazz before she joined the band. Miy (black hair guitarist) is also a concert level classical pianist, trained since 3 yo. Those twin lead guitar solos by Midori and Miyako are already legendary in just seven years. Miho (former bassist and co-founder of the band) once said that they wanted to play as heavy as men but keeping their femininity. I noticed you’ve already scheduled “The hammer of wrath”, so my next recommendations are “Thunder vengeance” or “Break the wall” (live)

And you’re just beginning to get to know them, welcome to the Wolfpack amigo, I just subscribed to your channel. I wanted to go to London to see them live last month, but I couldn’t get my passport ready on time, ohhhhhhh. LOVEBITES fantastic band!!!

PERFECT indeed, and if you like Metallica / Maiden...oh man, have you hit the jackpot. Influenced by 80s metal and they wear it on their sleeve. They don't pretend to be anything they're not. 1000% pure heavy metal. Any song next will do. Great reaction. 🤘

Great reaction, they are one of the best band in the scene right now ❤ they played in London a few days ago, I recommend you to listen soldier stand solitarily, swan song, thunder vengeance & under the red sky

Haaaaaa you are in my friend

Lovebites is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Greetings from Argentina

The old school metal vibes are a huge hook. You may get Slayer, Priest, Maiden, Testament or Metallica vibes at any given moment...these ladies are just doing it better IMO. I believe they could cover any of those bands tracks and kill it, but it would be difficult for any of them to cover a LB track.

Every single one of their songs can only be described as epic. Like every single one, it's nuts. This bands nuts.

My current favorite band. I'm going to see them in San Francisco on September 12th. 🤘

You're not far off, when you say that they have that oldshool Metal sound. Miho, the original bass player founded the band with the idea to play a mix of oldschool Power/ Thrash/ Speed/ NWOTHM/ Symphonic Metal. When they start and end their concerts, singer Asami usually shouts: ''We're Lovebites & we play HEAVY METAAAL!!" as a tribute to Lemmy's iconic shout out: ''We're Motörhead and we play ROCK'N'ROLL!!" .

Many reactors comment on their "wedding" or "prom" dresses. Wrong! They are wearing proper metal goddess attire!😂 "Stand and Deliver" OMV and official live, next!👊🤘

Early on, the ladies said their ambition was to make music in the style that Iron Maiden. I think LOVEBITES do it much better. In other songs you will also hear influences from TESTAMENT and SLAYER.

Metallica, Maiden, Priest, Testament, Megadeath, Slayer, etc. along with individual influences and a lot of classical touches blended into their own unique sound especially LIVE. No one plays Thrash better LIVE than this band...no one!!! The Wolfpack (fanbase) gives you one promise, you will never be disappointed by this band especially LIVE, they will surprise you, but there are no fillers or duds in their 60+ songs.

Another Bruce Dickinson comparison, because... it's true :) And another Maiden comparison because, once again, it's true. As someone else mentioned, by training not like Dickinson, but a lot of people hear it and make the comparison, so it's there. Miyako resting her Dean on her baby bump. That kid must have come out shredding, or just concussed. Keep doing some of the other suggested bands as well, then we can tell you who else you missed on tour, and how much by. But don't stop the Lovebites obviously. You will just need to give up any / all familiar, financial, medical commitments to ensure you do ALL the reactions.

A new EP and also a Blu-ray will be released on August 28. „LOVEBITES EP II“ will also contain a re-recording of the debut „LOVEBITES EP“ in a limited edition „Memorial of the Warrior Souls“ is the recording of last years paid livestream which features 7 live versions from „Judgement Day“ album including „Soldier stands solitarily“

Tjis 5 White ninja's never fails to empress their fans,Lovebites rules!🐺🤘🔥❤️

The reason you haven't heard of them until recently is because their label does very little to promte them outside of Asia, and have gotten to where they are overseas through social media such as your reaction video right here, and as you can hear for yourself they very much DO deserve to be on of the bigger names in the genre so please help spread the word.

Yes, Lovebites is perfect. Yes, you found your new favorite band. 😁 I think this song reminds me of early Testament and Annihilator.

They are the GOAT HEAVY METAL BAND!!! I suggest Break The Wall and Winds Of Transylvania!!! 🎤🎸🎸🎸🥁🤘😎

LOVEBITES - Set The World On Fire lyrics: The blue moon colors the blaze Stabbing myself with the thunder The predetermined imitation An emotionless and a fearless smile Flowing blood and crimson blade Devastated resolution Heat haze is waving far away Who’s going to be sacrificed？ ON FIRE Just like a falling flower ON FIRE Until this body rots away Burning down to the Gates of Hell Distorted madness is sneering Incompetent, cowardly fools A pitiful and painful punishment It’s you who will be sacrificed ON FIRE Dressed in an armor of steel ON FIRE If I’m burned again and again I’ll rise up from the Gates of Hell SOLO: midori / miyako / both The blue moon colors blaze Stabbing myself with the thunder The predetermined imitation An emotionless and fearless smile SOLO: miyako Flowing blood and crimson blade Devastated resolution Heat haze is waving far away Who’s going to be sacrificed？ ON FIRE Just like a falling flower ON FIRE Until this body rots away Burning down to the Gates of Hell ----- lyrics: asami music: miyako arrangement: LOVEBITES [miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami] album: Electric Pentagram 01/29/2020

I'm so glad you mentioned both Metallica and Iron Maiden. I've always said this song has verses from Metallica, the chorus of Iron Maiden, and the guitar solos of Dragonforce. It's really like a blend of all 3.

In this song, Lovebites is like a combination of Metalica + Iron Maiden + Slayer + Dragon Force

Lovebites 💪💪💪

I have been a metalhead for 50 years. I dig all forms of metal,from heavy to death and deathcore. And since I saw Lovebites live in Wacken /2018/ I have been a BIG FAN . Great band. Haruna,Asami,Fami,Midori and Miyako-what a team!!!

Man, if you love the thrash metal songs of LOVEBITES, you definitely need to react to "Break The Wall" from them. It's their peak thrash song afaik and they have thrown everything they could in this particular song. It's just the ultimate hidden gem banger wooooh! 💪🤘🐺

Break the Wall next please

Love Lovebites 🐺🤘🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Perfection does exist

Great reaction bro. Lovebites best song : 1. set the world on fire (live version) 2. winds of transylvania MV 3. etc.

Someone already mentioned Miho was cofounder of the band. The last video had Fami the new bass player of the band .As with Miho, did a great job Sorry to see her go. Fami is an excellent replacement.

Lovebites catalog is large. .From Lovebite's songs you can expect power and speed metal or thrash metal and progressive metal. These are the styles Lovebites prefers. They also have ballads in there every now and then.

what a pity to miss them in live... has been an unique experience to see them several times during their EU/UK tour... here at least the full Germany and UK shows... much fun!!! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l6yno6tpud-0aHU.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f7WqerN6t9O2c58.html

Was almost expecting the four horsemen coming galloping across the stage. As for the vocals, I agree on the maiden feel.

Midori💚💚💚💚💚 Miho💜💜💜💜💜

They're such a music-forward band, their talent is staggering. The fact that they look so cool and so beautiful doing it just takes it to heaven, frankly. I could listen all day

In September, get on a plane, and I'll see you at the Echoplex to listen to these immensely talented young women!

🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺❤❤❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

For your next reaction from Lovebites Break the Wall, live Diver City 2020.

I think others will have already said this, but just to add my bit. This concert is from 2021 and was performed under strict Covid restrictions. The audience was limited to 50% capacity with mandatory masks and no shouting or cheering. Miyako, the Guitarist playing the Dean guitar, was several months pregnant. Her only concession for a 2 hour long concert was to wear flat heeled shoes in instead of the usual high heels. She gave birth to a daughter later that year. Asami, the singer, also had a baby not too many months after Miyako.

Believe it or not, but Japan has a lot more to offer. Here's a short list of other must see bands: Hagane / Black Cult: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gqmYmKxnkrO7mI0.html Lonesome_Blue / Face the Fear: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a519rJmauLamnGg.html East of Eden / Evolve: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nbJierSIzbDFfoU.html Since we arrived at violins, these guys are absolutely killing it: Unlucky Morpheus / Black Pentagram Live: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iLuZhc-GrLO4p40.html Fate Gear / This is Fate (with Jill from Unlucky Morpheus on Violin) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lbKKZ8-Y29XKnWg.html Nemophila / Oiran: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9dxddGXqM7Ukp8.html Nakayoshi Metal / Cerberus (Instrumental project with Tamu from Nemophila on drums and Sakura from Hagane on guitar) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jtN1lKplmdXWcZ8.html Asterism / Blaze kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a5eAq86hndKrcac.html And there's a lot more where they came from :D

The journey continues, you will have a lot of fun and discover great music along the way 👍🤘🐺

I love the thrashy numbers, like this one and ‘Hammer of Wrath’ etc., but I also really enjoy the softer(?} ones like Epilogue, Frozen Serenade & Edge of the World. ‘Swan Song with the Chopin Intro’ is a masterpiece.

Got to do the women who kicked off the modern era of All Female bands. Do Aldious We Are music video

if you like thrash/speed metal, check out "Break the wall" LIVE 2020 and "The hammer of wrath" LIVE 2023, and get ready to melt your face😄

Someone needs to forward your reaction to the band! I was crushed for you even before you knew about the recent London gigs!

Since i did the Lovebites suggestion,and you doing them both back to back the next day,I have been watching your channel grow leaps and bounds. And the Lovebites binge you have been enjoying Is the best.

Thanks for your reaction. If you love IRON MAIDEN, you can check out: LOVEBITES - 'The Awakening' & 'The Crusade' ('Battle in the East', Tsutaya O-East, Tokyo, June 28, 2018) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/msV0rJCAsbS4mIU.html

Ok, you've seen Hanabie and Baby Metal and now Lovebites. You need to see Nemophila, Band Maid and MAXIMUM THE HORMONE and you journey to Japanese metal/rock will be complete. Also, did you know India has metal bands? Look up Bloodywood and their song Aaj(today) They sing in both Hindi and English. Oh, and don't forget to look at Mongolia and the rock band The Hu, Wolf Totem. You'll love it. And let's not forget the Canadian metal band Unleash The Archers, Tonight We Ride.

You've been bitten by the wolf, welcome to the Wolfpack. They are currently touring around Europe and will be in the U.S. in September. I've got my VIP already. Hope you catch them.

So, you now know about Lovebites and have seen two videos and also you know about Hanabie and have seen one video. Much more to see from those women. But, there are two bands more in the standard rectors group of Japanese metal/rock women. And that is Nemophila and BAND-MAID. There is no turning back. They are waiting for you. I would say that those four definitely is a must. Then there are other good bands, but personally I (and many more) have got those four as their favorites. And, for some obscure reason, two more bands often are reacted to by the same reactors. That is The Warning, a trio of sisters from Mexico and Ningen Isu, a trio of old guys that are sometimes called Black Sabbath of Japan. You will not regret listening to any of these.

🤟🏻🔥🔥🐺🔥🔥🤘🏻 ON FIIIREEEEEE‼️

Great reaction 🎉 Pls react to other Japanese metal bands as well. I recommend Maximum the Hormone”,YoshuFukushu”, JILUKA”VENOM ” I’m sure you will be blown away 😁 BTW you have beautiful hair.

Miyako (on the right) is highly pregnant and showing

Now check out NEMOPHILA. I recommend starting with Dissension, Revive, or Raitei. They also do awesome cover versions. They started putting out a cover every Friday during Covid just to keep everyone's spirits up a little, and there are some great tracks. (And some great introductions to other Japanese bands).

🔥LOVEBITESRULES🔥

Nice choose! Looking forward for more... Hammer of wrath or, maybe... Thunder Vengeance, please!

LOL you probably need a cigaret after this.......... 🤘🤘

Yeah they don't have a ton of slow songs. You should check out the live performance of 'A Frozen Serenade' it's sort of a whirlwind tour of tour of just how talented they are and personally, one of my favorite songs of all time. Here's a version of it with subtitled lyrics on youtube: watch?v=Ae8pQVu-RN8

You should check out the crusade from them. It's their hommage to iron maidens aces high. One of my favorite songs.

Beware of Dean shredding females that are 3 months pregnant.🤟

Dont delete your channel yet! 😊 You have still 20+ great jrock and jmetal bands to discover!

🤘🤘🤘🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🔥🔥🔥

💯👍👍👍

Nemophila next!

React to their absolute masterpiece, in my opinion and many others, "Frozen Serenade". You will wonder if you didn't dream...

They're literally "Iron Maidens". Too bad somebody already took that for their band name. I'd like to suggest "The Crusade" as your next Lovebites reaction. It's an homage to both Iron Maiden and the song "Aces High".

Hoping you can react to my fav of them. Even its just an audio on youtube.

You should check out The Hu.

Lovebites are so goooood! It is a shame they did not play this live…anyhow, I saw them live in Milan in June, and I was scared of how it would sound live for real. All recordings of their concerts in Japan are all taken from DVDs and I feared we were all misled by the heavy postproduction. Opinion from an amateur musician: yes, they are not so perfect live, there are a lot of flaws here and there (Stand & Deliver live really shouldn't be done, Asami's voice isn't suitable at all... and Miyako should stop fixing her hair while playing, he often returned to the fretboard of the guitar on the wrong tones)... and in the live show in Milan, despite the super positive reviews, there were clearly problems in the output sounds (too many low frequencies on Miyako's guitar). But I can confirm they are musicians with 4 balls each, they are fucking good! Not 3 sexy asians ladies who are successful just because of that (....who said Babymetal?!?!?!?). It's a great shame that many of those who listen to them do so largely because they are objectively hot (also if I have to confirm this anyway, Asami is like a goddess between us, in person is like looking at the sun). I think it's a serious lack of respect towards such talented musicians. There are tons of western guys who just listen to female Japanese bands, independently by the genre…by mixing gold (as Lovebites or Aldious) with shit. And well, I find this weird as fuck!

Today your background is green colour of Midori last reaction was red colour of Asami the next reaction will be Miyako color blue and last two are Fami rose and Haruna yellow😎

Why is the main theme for LOVEBITES music, who influenced them. It's not important, important are only LOVEBITES band, there musicians and their great songs and performances.🥰😍🤩😘😗☺😚😙🥲

You should react to a male band from Japan: GALNERYUS Angel of Salvation (live ) is awesome, and the Visual Kei band Versailles Faith and Decision (live) is in my ears something else. but there is other bands like Shiver of Frontier, Ancient Myth, Damian Hamada's Creatures, Concerto Moon, HAGANE, and sooooo many more awesome bands from Japan to explore!

Love ᗰETᗩᒪᒪIᑕᗩ ? React to 𝕆ℝ𝔹𝕀𝕋 ℂ𝕌𝕃𝕋𝕌ℝ𝔼 - 🆁🅴🅳 🅵🅾🅶

Lovebites - recommendation - EVERYTHING Please check out Nemophila - Dissention. You will NOT be sorry....

Someone had to tell you that, eh? I think that's kinda cruel.

The Iron Maiden vocal comparison is waaaay off. Her vocal training is that of R&B. So imagine someone like Mary J Blige or Teena Marie singing these Lyrics in this genre of music. That's Asami's voice.
