Audience restrictions limited due to covid rules, Miyako was four and a half months pregnant, and still they bite better than most, these ladies have no rivals, they are their own unique genre. And apart from the musical perfection throughout, Asami's vocals are next to none which is enhanced with the mesmerising presence on stage she projects. I concur with you, 10/10 🤘🎤🎸🎹🥁🐺

LOVEBITES are not just superb musicians, they've distinguished themselves as exceptional songwriters. This is heavily influenced by their classically-trained background and their deep respect for the global metal tradition. They've covered less than a handful if songs like Judas Priest's Painkiller and Helloween's Eagle Fly Free. Their classically-trained pianist Miyako covered piano interpretations (EP and recent piano recital) of songs by Metallica, Deep Purple, Gary Moore, Yngwie Malmsteen. What further sets LOVEBITES apart from even the best of Japanese rock/metal bands is their decision to write and sing in English - a daunting task for native Japanese speakers (hence why few take on this challenge). When you delve deeper in their catalog, and when really intrigued me was that they don't just write and sing English lyrics, they write meaningful lyrics that often tackle deep personal and global themes that typically motivate and inspire ... and yet flow with their music (let that sink in ... Not easy!). If you're familiar with Japanese culture which puts a premium on conformity, LOVEBITES approach to their lyrics is not the norm.

The whole band is writing these songs (including a sixth songwriter, Mao). The three usual covers are listed in the checklist: "Eagle Fly Free" (Helloween), "Love Bites (So Do I)" (Halestorm), "Painkiller" (Judas Priest). Former bassist Miho wrote a lot of the (more thrashy) songs, but Miyako wrote almost half of the songs, while Asami did most of the lyrics in English. Drummer Haruna wrote the only Japanese song "Bravehearted" for their first EP, which was later re-released on their first album with English lyrics.

Everything I want from a band is right here 🐺

As always, great reaction and support for Lovebites.

These ladies were phenomenal, full of joy with what they were doing. Haruna playing thrash beat with a smile..it's nothing 🤭. Miho compact bass line. M&M mind boggling duet solo. Asami high energy voice. They're packed of awesomeness 👍🤘

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

Thanks for your reaction. At 'ProgPowerUSA' on September 6, 2024 (the third day of the festival), AMORPHIS and LOVEBITES are already announced as headliners. I read in the press that the duration of the LOVEBITES set should be 90 minutes (planned). LOVEBITES (2016-2023) : Haruna - drums Miho - bass guitar, backing vocals, bandleader (left the band in August 2021) Midori - blonde/ guitars, backing vocals Miyako 'Mi-ya' - brunette/ guitars, piano, keyboards, backing vocals Asami - lead vocals , piano Fami - bass guitar, backing vocals ( from October 2022) LOVEBITES has 55 original songs + 3 original musical compositions. This number does not include covers (rock music and classical music), which are also performed by the band and Miyako (piano). The main poets are Asami (#1) and Miho (#2). The main composer is Miyako. She wrote about 50% of LOVEBITES music You made reactions to the songs of LOVEBITES: 'Set the World on Fire' (lyrics - Asami / music - Miyako) 'Liar' (lyrics - Dr. U/ music - Miyako) 'Judgement Day' (lyrics - Asami / music - Midori, Asami, Mao) 'Stand and Deliver(Shoot 'em Down)' (lyrics - Asami / music - Miyako, Asami) 'Holy War' (lyrics - Asami, Haruna, Midori, Miho, Miyako / music - Mao) Since 2017, LOVEBITES have released : 3 EPs, 1 Single, 4 Studio Albums, 5 Live Albums (the sixth Life will be released in December 2023), 1 Compilation Album ; 7 DVDs/Blu-rays (the eighth DVD/Blu-ray will be released in December 2023 year); 11+1 Music Videos (MV Winds of Transylvania in two versions: with anime and without anime). Several documentaries have been released (behind the scenes of concerts; demonstrations by band members of their musical instruments and the equipment they use; interviews with band members; Сompetition '5 Element' - search for a bassist in 2022, etc.)

Love this song! A brutal thrash yet melodic song. If this came out in the 80s, would've been an all time classic. It is a classic now for me! Great reaction and look forward to more! I think you're ready for Swan song w/Chopin intro live 2020 and A Frozen Serenade live 2021. Both of these PERFORMANCES set them apart and above all other heavy metal bands. Two 10s...LOVE IT!!🤘

That was a great reaction! The quality of your videos is simply amazing. It’s always more pleasant to watch your favorite videos with people if the quality of the video is good. This is their original song. The music for this song was composed by Miyako and the lyrics by Asami. Almost all the music is written by the band members. And they also have several covers. And I think this song is my favorite. Although with Lovebites this is debatable, because every song you listen to becomes your favorite. If you want to listen another thrash song from Lovebites, you can try their song "Break the wall". But if you want something special, please, watch their live video "Swan song with Chopin Intro" (yes, it must be with Chopin intro). Both of these videos are not on their official KZfaq channel, but you can easily find them on KZfaq by name. Thank you for the reaction! More Lovebites on the channel!

This was the last Concert with Original bassist Miho who left in August of that year They got Fami in summer of 2022. Fami's first album with the band was Judgement Day followed by the concert set of Live from Heaven's Gate.

🤘🏻🔥🔥🐺🔥🔥🤘🏻

Love this song and all I can say is ...... Lovebites!

Great reaction, you two are quickly becoming some of my favorite reactors on KZfaq

A little side bar on this video is that Miyako was a few months pregnant when this was filmed and if you look closely you can see her bumpage. Also this is the last appearance of former bassist Miho before she left the band.

In my comment on the original videoclip, I wrote "On a quality scale from 1 to 10, Lovebites play on 11!" The studio version of this song is definitely my favourite song on "Electric Pentagram" and I think this live version is at least as good. Being an old school Thrash Metal fan, I'd put this song in my top 3 songs by Lovebites, together with the live version of "Break the Wall" from 2020 and "The Hammer of Wrath", though thinking about "Dissonance" and "Soldier Stands Solitarily" from their current album, I will have to solve the conundrum how to squeeze 5 songs into a top 3. I might as well say it's a draw between all five songs and put them all on no. 1.

The "E" Trilogy is a great set of songs "Edge of the World", Empty Daydream, and Epilogue (Probably will find the Epilogue version with "Don't Bite The Dust")

Almost all of Lovebites' earlier thrash songs were written by Miho Rosana (lyrics) and Maho/Miho (music). However, this song was composed by Miyako (music) and Asami (lyrics). The women have proven with the new album that they can write and play great thrash songs without Miho Rosana. You have to be fair and say: Miyako and Asami: You have convinced.

Yes, Lovebites fan-base is extremely loyal. You are very respectful to Lovebites, so we appreciate you. 10/10 Marshall stacks! They deserve it! 🤘🏼🐺🤘🏼

last show with basser miho, last show for more than two years. and miyako (writes around 70% of their songs)was in the second trimester of her pregnancy. great song and perfomance. and thanks for your appreciation of them. enjoy the ride. they have no bad or mediocre song,

I agree - I want to see them as the headliner. I don't want to see them as a support, I want the full 2 hours. 😊😊

Lovebites will perform at Hellfest France next summer on mainstage 1 along with bands like Metallica and Megadeth! 🤘🏼🐺🤘🏼🐺

LOVEBITES do thrash as well as anyone, and better than most.

It's interesting that this was committed to a filmed concert since it was the first time this had been played live.

As I understand it, Miyako is the primary song writer and Asami is the primary lyricist. That does not mean that the other members don't write, I believe that Glory to The World was written by Midori and other members have taken the writing seat from time to time and/or collaborated on songs.

rainerzufall42 left you a great list of song suggestions below. one i will add to the list is 'signs of deliverance' live. not many reactors have done this song and it's up there with all of their great songs. dept. of redundancy dept. - everything they do is great

The song " Epilogue" style Gary Moore,ufffffffff

Wolfpack here visiting your channel.

The M&M Show! 🎸🔥🎸🔥🤘

Amazing! We love your work and the next video will mark a milestone as number 100. Congratulations and keep up your excellent work. See you both on the flip side. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

I am assuming ProgPower is one performance and it seems to me that would be too expensive to come here for just one performance I can't help but feel that will turn into a concert set with more dates.

Set the World on Fire music was Miyako (stage left guitar) and lyrics by Asami. Saw several posts on X by Lovebites, Asami, Haruna and Midori. They had just watched a Band-Maid concert and were so excited and had so much fun. These girls are all friends and friendly rivals. You would love Band-Maid. Most fun concert I have ever seen. Band-Maid Domination live at Line Cube Shibuya 2020. That will open a whole lot of parallel content for your channel.

Great reaction, I suggest Break The Wall, live 2021, Tokyo. Crazy note solo, both guitars, drummer Haruna insane, perfect, thank you reacting Lovebites

I will be seeing them in Dallas At the Echo- Stemmons Freeway= on Sept 8th 2004 also the following week in LA-Miyako composer writer-Asami lyricist.

Good reaction. This song is a Lovebites original. They did a cover of Painkiller which was too good. I enjoy all their songs .My current favorite is "Scream for Me" with 14 solos

If you like thrash, then you need to watch "Break the Wall" from their 2020 tour. If you close your eyes, you would swear it was Slayer in the beginning. And Miyako's Gary Moore inspired guitar solo is a thing of beauty. Just a suggestion. I would love to see what you think of it. FYI... Miyako (the dark haired guitarist) wrote and arranged the music and Asami (the vocalist) wrote the lyrics for this song. Take care!

Esta cancion creo fue compuesto por la Guitarrista Miyako y por la Vocalista Asami, creo ella casi siempre colabora con las letras

🤘🎸🎌

"Can you thrash?" "Hold my napalm."

The intro reminds so much of SYMPHONY X..The Rest is All Lovebites my Favorite

🤘🏼🎸🥁🎤🐺❤️‍🔥🇯🇵🇮🇹

Great reaction ! This is an original song from Lovebites. Miyako (brunette lead guitarist and pianist, stage left) composed and arranged this track. She also wrote about 50% of Lovebites' current discography of around 60 songs. "Set the World on Fire" is one of the tracks from Lovebites' third album, "Electric Pentagram". Asami (lead vocalist) wrote the lyrics for this song.

Lovebites is ready to set the world on fire. My next suggestion is “Chopin etude + Swan song” or “Edge of the world” (live, of course)

I seen the prog power line up with Lovebites and I wouldn't waste my money! The other groups dont do it for me! However, the featival in Spain at Cartagena before prog power is a better line up from start to finish and I will go there! On the up side I seen lovebites on tour in the UK with Dragon force!!
