haha I spoke too soon 😂 But the lyrics were still innocent

Five angels unleashing hell!

Definitely

Lucky you!

@Aratha Sena yeh just love break the wall- i just wish they had made a video for scream for me. one of the best for sure

Aratha Sena , Don’t be shy?!!! I have to break thru, I’ve got to break thru the, I have to Break thru The Wall kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j7GagJeIntfUl4U.html

Lovebites Fans out in force again!! Bring on Shadowmaker!!

@Aratha Sena m.d.o. would have been a great mv also.another killer song

Shadowmaker seems popular in the comments haha

Yeah Jessy I normally am not too keen on power metal vocals in general, they all sound the same to me haha. But this one was good

There's not a lot of female fronted metal bands, but you should take a look at "UNLEASH THE ARCHERS" and their song "Awakening ", the singer, Brittney Hayes, is a powerful vocalist and her voice just fits for metal - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ndeFg6qSlpuzpKM.html

Yes! Those lyrics really helped me understand the song alot more. Even though they sing in English, it can be hard to listen and understand because the music is so extremely fast.

I will :D

Then Japanese bands and I have similar mindsets :)

Yes, from their dvd a year ago, We the United kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mK2Ke9Opt7Summw.html Great reaction, glad you liked it, can feel the joy from here! Here’s one of Japan’s leading powermetal guitarists, Syu from Galneryus, from his solo album Volvados, which has guest singers. This singer on two tracks is Fuki is from another powermetal group Unlucky Morpheus (their metal scene, and esp the women’s scene, has been really exceptional the past decade). Fuki is so in demand, she’s been working about 12 years I think, tho first 4? yrs were in one band, but one fan took a pic of the 90+ releases featuring her that he’s obtained! She’s also in Doll$Boxx with my personal favorite musicians, who are undefinable, but too pop n synth to quite be metal, but get props from musicians in the metal scene. Song is “Reason” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b5torZSh0J_Dfqc.html

​@@timgove5337 Syu from Galneryus is too much skilled.. OMG. world class shredder. Unlucky Morpheus is another great band btw

Then we are in for a rollercoaster ride :)

Are they new?

@@Detrucci They've been around since 2016...but it's hard to get approval in the metal community though...

Don't forget Miho laying down those solid basslines...

@@schelin1447 They won Metal Hammer magazine's Best New Band at their 2018 awards. They aren't messing around or making up numbers. You don't get to play at Wacken or Download if you aren't serious. Don't let the dresses and hair fool you - these ladies kick ass and take zero prisoners.

@@schelin1447 pretty sure that Dragonforce invited them to tour Europe before xmas helped. Not the first time Herman Li & co has helped a japanese band to get recognition. They did the same with Babymetal in 2014...

Thanks Sarah :)

@@Detrucci You're welcome!

The Maximum the Horomone drummer will be insanely good then. Akane is a beast

@@Detrucci Nao is awesome for several reasons! :) And so is her brother Ryu who plays guitar and the other 2 members as well. Also all four of them sing depending on the song and part.

Japan have some really amazing talented bands. I love their style too of no fear, just straight up kick you in the face

I will take a look

Yes :)

@@Detrucci Well I'll rub it in a bit more. Due to cancelled shows from corona virus they briefly streamed there Official live DVD's on their channel. Along with striking most of the good live clips. So BIG missed opportunity. ftw they get compared to Dragonforce (they actually toured with them in the UK) but they have a bigger range.

@@Augmintt I was thinking similar to dragonforce at times but I do dislike comparing bands because I understand that each band is its own unique entity. I do need to up my japanese metal reaction game :) This was a fantastic start though, it really surprised me.

your recommendation probably got lost in the sea of bandmaid comments :D

@@Detrucci Dragonforce and Lovebites are good friends, they did a UK tour together, Lovebites are very independent in their music, influences from other bands "yes", but their solid interpretation of different styles. So there are no better or worse bands like that, either man likes them or not, most of them who don't like lovebites have problems with the vocals, in my view one cannot praise "Asami" enough, a voice can do better don't fit at all. Lovebites is a really perfect band: Haruna on the drums 4.9 "precise steam engine - Miyako and Midori two top guitarists at eye level who complement each other at any time (without who is better or worse) - Miho the boss on bass, sometimes a bit inconspicuous, but the The linchpin of the band, they are all very pretty self-confident women, properly dressed, which I find rather unusual but very pleasant, they are just great in all respects (everyone should do what they want) blah blah blah ....... ...... 😌😁

Ha I’d forgotten that video. The high pitched parts and to some extent the uniforms seem BabyMetalish, but I’d call Midori’s dance the TomoZo skank (well, a skank dance that I’ve only seen one other Jfemetal artist do). I couldn’t quickly find clear footage of TomoSkank, but you can tell from this that it’s her dancing style (she’s guitarist in whitish shorts) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sMlmjail2aeRiY0.html Here’s Midori giving a demo playthru/lesson of that song “make up” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lZ6FhLibqruuoWg.html

You forgot Ningen Isu, the lucky Algorithm pick by KZfaq., Translation is good by the way :)

I like you included an interview. Another one from that same day tells why they wear white. And Miho (only their third best English speaker) interviewing directly in English is fun, search “JPU Miho” or check my playlist “Lovebites interviews” Haha I’d forgotten, but Midori is so cute at minute 7 of your linked interview, it is so clear on her face that she knows they’re about to announce the tour with Dragonforce (last fall), but wasn’t allowed to mention it yet 🤣

Wasn't X-Japan and Loudness before Babymetal that "came out" from Japan? But I agree in the "modern" form of the the hardrock/metal-era....

ほっとこハム太郎 , Gacharic Spin ‼️Gacharic Spin‼️Gacharic Spin has to be on my list of most positive bands. So fun it’s clownish or hysterical(literally) sometimes? But song names like Winner, I want to be an ageless witch, next stage, never say never, friendship, peacefully, and the new songs written for Paralympic athletes Adversity Hero and Gold Dash, and having seen videos of their mock band (in character as European hair metaler men), and of standup comedy during shows, and recognizing their superior writing and musicianship, I listen to them for the same reasons as to BabyMetal, BandMaid, and Lovebites 😉🤘🎸💃😎 Gacharic Spin - Next Stage 2019 live (“I can change my world”). Big setup, then clearly rocks hard, but most people are raving, yet they also got a shot of people wiping tears kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z9ViptWfq5O1loE.html

@@timgove5337 GS is organized chaos and I too like them a lot

Shadowmaker eh, sounds mysterious :)

Almost perfect score :)

@@Detrucci i dont usually do this but u must know this song is insane .i tried band-maid scandal and aldios they can play but lovebites slay them all in terms of QUALITY . japanese girls can jam really well but cant write as good as men except this one.carry on .this is us.carry on.

"vanilla Japanese idol group trying to play metal" If you don't mind...I'll guess that you're not older than 30 yrs. These ladies push Metallica off the cliff(burton) 😉. They're up there with Iron Maiden, Helloween, Gammaray. Idol group?! Jeee...🤣

As much as i like The Wagakki Band the Lovebites ladies can match them musically. Maybe if you had bothered to see one of their live performances, you would of known that.

Once again: Can’t deny, they explicitly state they formed to write in homage to classic, thrash, power & symphonic metal from England and Europe. But they are not part of the Japanese idol industry, that is a unique thing. Yes it results in Spice Girls, but it is a blend of Menudo and Disney. This is a supergroup, Mature successful signed musicians quit other gigs to follow this bass player’s stated intent, cut a demo, then got signed and got good corporate support. BabyMetal is the Vegas show I would go see, which stars girls who are literally idols, who “graduated” into the song & dance business, spectacular once they got the money to support their huge production vision. Wagakki band is awesome, by including the traditional instruments etc. But they’re hired by the singer & flute guy, and their biggest hit is a cover of a virtual artist, a cartoon singer. It’s Japanese! It’s awesome. But it doesn’t discount these ladies, in business to get English pounds. Hell, lovebites first full gig was in London. I wish the songs I’m writing with my neighbor could debut at Sydney Opera House, or even just the pub next to it! 😉 And, try playing any of... they Goooood musicians, and their producer has an American sounding name and their post-engineering is done in Finland. Doesn’t matter much, the label is in Japan, and everybody records at home these days anyway, but the mega Corp thing is not a negative, and sounding the same is partly a style, and part homing in on their idea of the perfect song. Maybe I’m feeling a lil defensive, and not everybody likes opera, prog, classical, whatever. So I don’t expect everyone would listen to this long deep-cut and notice references to Rachmaninov’s 2nd piano concerto, as well as self referencing their own song Hammer of Wrath (which in turn references a classic Arabic theme) Or enjoy the heavy lyrics about hope in the face of the Hiroshima bomb, or the chorale ending. Not everyone I spose, all good... but it just doesn’t qualify as disposable art to me. I reiterate, imagine trying to write or play it... “Under the Red Sky” live (audio only, from DVD Daughters of the Dawn, recorded Jan2019 Tokyo) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/itmRZ8mU07iuaXk.html

This has got to be one of the most pathetic attempts of trolling i have ever seen. An idol goup? You obviously don't have a clue what an idol group actually is. And what exactly is lacking? Technical skill? Songwriting ability? Vocal talent? What is vanilla about them? Some of their songs are pure Thrash Metal. Or are you one of those people who think that everything that doesnt sound like Napalm Death's first album is too soft (not that there is anything wrong with Napalm Death, i love me some Grindcore once in a while)? Fine, you don't like their music but I have no clue why you are even mentioning Wagakki band (that's how it's spelled, by the way), they don't even play the same sort of music as Lovebites. Lovebites aren't trying to make folk-metal. You might as well be comparing Eluveitie with DragonForce. Seriously, your comment make "Trve Kvlt" black metal fans seem like pefectly sane and reasonable people in comparison.

I have no idea what japanese idol is so I cant compare :) But the lyrics here are good. Nice and positive, Maybe motivational for people who need it.
