The concert this performance was taken from was actually held on February 21st 2020, so right before the pandemic truly took off. Also I don't see why people wouldn't take them seriously. They paid to see them, after all lol. Lovebites have quickly garnered a lot of attention and praise in Japan, but also in the West. They have played at several European music festivals and toured the UK with DragonForce, as already mentioned. They have yet to perform in the US though. There are several songs where they are moving around a lot more and just having fun on stage. Holy War was the second song they performed that day, so still early on in the concert. Lovebites also play many different styles of metal. They are a lot more versatile than you seem to realize. Power metal, thrash metal, speed metal, some of their songs have more of a hard rock feeling to them, they have beautiful ballads, some pretty proggy songs, they incorporate the piano, keyboard and even an acoustic guitar into their songs ... No point in comparing them to Babymetal, as Lovebites play their own instruments and compose their own songs. They are the real deal.

No overdubbing. This is how Lovebites sound/play live, flawlessly. They wear 4 inch high heels, not so easy run around and jump, especially when playing sixteenth note riffs.

listen to more lovebites, the best metal band today. They are not going to disappoint you. 2020, 2021, 2023

LOVEBITES is a relatively new metal band formed by leader Miho (base) in 2016 and made a major debut in 2017. Before the pandemic, they mainly performed live in Japan / UK / EU. They have already performed at major metal festivals around the world, including WACKEN OPEN AIR 2018, and in 2019, at the invitation of Herman Li, took part in the DragonForce UK tour. They are an adult female metal band with 80's metal & classical music DNA and R & B / soul voice. They define themselves as lone wolves fighting metal stereotypes and have wolves as their trademark.

"Oh that drummer's so small"....but so powerful ! HARUNA !!! HARUNA !!! HARUNA !!! 🤘🐺🤘

LOVEBITES - Holy War lyrics: Look at those black clouds, it’s going to rain blood People live in fear, covered in mud Singing oh Gloria to change the prophecy We are the metal warriors Fighting the darkness for sisters There is a thousand, a thousand of evils Hush, do not wake up Satan’s devils Singing Hallelujah to save our majesty We are the metal warriors Fighting the darkness for brothers Shining blade and burning heart Into the Gates of Hell we march Immortal soul, let there be light Into the Eye of Heaven Eagles at a holy war Fly higher than the sun We are one for all and all for one forevermore Kingdom of Heaven, never shall we fall Reincarnation, wait for your call Singing oh, Gloria to change the prophecy We are the metal warriors Fighting the darkness for sisters Morning star and dying moon Into the Gates of Hell we march Mighty soul, let there be hope Into the Eye of Heaven Eagles at a holy war Fly higher than the sun Stand up in the name of the God of heavy metal What do we live for？What do we fight for, tonight？ But the world is beautiful, worth fighting for Only have one thing on our mind Facing the fate, holy war Singing Hallelujah to save our majesty We are the metal warriors Fighting the darkness for brothers Shining blade and burning heart Into the Gates of Hell we march Immortal soul, let there be light Into the Eye of Heaven Eagles at a holy war Fly higher than the sun We are one for all and for one forevermore What do we live for？What do we fight for, tonight？ But the world is beautiful, worth fighting for Only have one thing on our mind Facing the fate, holy war ----- lyrics: LOVEBITES music: Mao arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami)

This is how they actually sound live, nothing is overdubbed ;) great reaction btw.

Absolutely my favorite band, was Iron Maiden but these ladies took that torch and are running with it. They are on hiatus because the bass player just left and they have to find a new one. Thank you for reacting to this great band.

Metal class act. These ladies are fantastic

they have been around since 2016 if you want to hear more their best songs are Thunder Vengeance, Rising, Raise Some Hell, Set The World On Fire, Swan Song Chopan intro, Epilogue, Empty Daydreams, Edge of the World and Glory to the world every song is live except Glory to the world which is a music video please react to all of there and please let me know what you think

They are really starting to get recognized in 2024 they will perform in Spain and also be at Hellfest in France with Bruce Dickinson,Metallica, and many other top bands and to top that off there is hope at least for a USA Tour since they will be at ProgPower in Atlanta Georgia September 6th 2024

The reason for the hiatus is because the bassist left, the singer got married and the dark haired guitarist got pregnant and married then gave birth.

Great reaction ! Lovebites is in my opinion one of the best metal bands around . I hope they will be back soon!

Midori & Miyako (M&M), the best guitar duo/sync.

They're not always more into power metal or speed metal.. They just combine all of the old school metal to the new level.. Thank you for the reaction, guys! Have a great day!✌🏻

Guys, their latest 2021 live video songs Set The World On Fire, Dont Bite The Dust, Spellbound and MV Glory To The World. Winds Of Transylvania, its time to look for all Japanese female Metal/Rock Band NEMOPHILA - songs Dissension, Raitei(Thunder) HANABIE - song We Love Sweets (Japanese Jinjer) BANDMAID - songs live 2021 No God, Warning, Thrill, After Life, Manners

These women are extremely talented, skillful and versatile great musicians. They really shine in their live performances. They have influences from Iron Maiden, Metallica, Slayer, Angra, Helloween, Judas Priest, Dragonforce and even Gary Moore, but they have been developing their own unique style. I recommend you to react to songs from the concerts “Daughters of the dawn” (Tokyo, 2019), “Wacken Open Air” (Germany, 2018), “Five of a kind, Zepp Divercity, Tokyo, 2020), “Awakening the abyss” (live studio, Japan 2020) and “Ride for vengeance/ Heavy metal never dies” (Tokyo, 2021). Avoid “Bloodstock” (bad audio). Lineup: Haruna - Drums Miho - Bas, backing vocals (she just left the band) Midori - Lead & rhythm guitar, backing vocals Miyako - Lead & rhythm guitar, keyboards, classical piano, backing vocals Asami - Lead vocals, some piano

They are on hiatus because their bassist left on Aug 17 due to personal reasons so the band was forced to go on hiatus until they can find a replacement, they said they would definitely be back. They did tour with DragonForce in 2019 but have not been to the USA yet. In interviews they said they definitely want to but now need to wait for covid travel restrictions to be removed. They have performed at Wacken Open Air and Bloodstock in 2018. They won the 2018 Metal Hammer Golden Gods award for best new band.

Lovebites is one of my fave metal bands, combining power metal, thrash metal and prog metal. Don't know what you're into (maybe metal core, death metal). I'm a hard rock guy at heart so I'll recommend Band-Maid. Another band that will challenge your preconception of serious music. Some songs to check out: "Warning" (punk metal); "Different" (prog punk); "No God" (Motorhead-style prog funk rock); "Manners" (groovy hard rock); "Rinne" (classic metal); and "Domination" (live) a rmetallish-hard rock song with the ladies running around on stage.

Well they came to Spain three years ago when they had just started their band and were so small, they toured all around Europe. Now that they are bigger they will probably tour again around the world, they like it. Oh and they are on hiatus because the bass lady left the band and they have to put things in order for some time; find someone, let her adapt and everything.

Miyako plays Dean guitars, Midori plays ESP II guitars. Lovebites been here since 2016. Band Maid, Nemophila are incredible as well.

This f..king LIVE!

This band is awesome, wolfpack 🤘🤘

The live DVD this show came from is unfortunately not available on US Amazon, but you can get it on Amazon Japan(and anyone can get an account there, you don't have to be Japanese) or CD Japan.

This group breathes so much talent that you wonder when you see their performance if it is real. This band is incredible but real. Take any title of the live concerts 2019/2020/2021 in Tokyo it is always of top level. After one likes or not this style of music. I heard you mention Slayer. A title which has the musical color of this group is "break the wall" I advise it to you for the next reaction. It's a pity that you didn't start well in the first reaction. No problem. You can do this song "set the world on fire" again in the live version 2021, it is worth it.

Peace and Stay safe

Guys you should continue reacting to Lovebites! Awesome reactions so far.

and this what we called a reaction video, great job guys! Thank you for making this band to be more discoverable out there. Pls do reaction to their new live video called Don't Bite The Dust from Ride For Vengeance tour Tokyo Dome City Hall 2021. Or if you want to do again for Set The World On Fire, this time pls do their live video from Ride For Vengeance Tour 2021 and you can see that they way much better on live. Liked ＆ subbed 🤘

I don't want your Chicken Nuggets🤢😬🤣, however you are starting to appreciate what they are all about. There are so many fake thing in the world today and I appreciate your skepticism. However, they are real. Me being a skeptic myself, don't want to get caught like everyone did with Milli Vanilli years ago. These women are a Phenomena of our age, enjoy it. It doesn't happen often. Continue listening and the scales will fall from your eyes and ears. LOL🎵🎶 By the way, the Vocalist, Asami is her name, before joining LOVEBITES, was an R&B, Soul, and Gospel singer. Not Opera. Wrap your heads around that. LOL 🤘

This live version of Holy War from FOAK is great, but the latest live version of this song that they did in their latest release "Heavy Metal Never Dies" blows this one away. 😁 if you can find & afford it, I highly suggest in getting it, it's totally worth buying, LOVEBITES is worth it. They are great & they have so much more good heavy metal music to offer, not just power metal. Thank you guys for checking out LOVEBITES. Cheers & stay safe! 🤘🐺🐺🐺🐺

unfortunately Miho(Bass) has left the band in August, future uncertain, these ladies are friggin awesome, they are LOVEBITES and they play metal, and they do it well

Flawless and Running around can't coexist. Running and jumping around there would be no way they could play this well, I think they chose to give their fans the best of what they have to offer. For example, Dragonforce, while extremely talented and very very technical, do not put the same level of effort into their live shows. I have seen DF twice and they sounded like hot ass and cheese, I remember how fucking bummed I was after seeing them. I saw Metallica in 1998 and my god it was a show and a half, but even Metallica doesn't move around much compared to other bands, sure they power stance and walk around a bit, but they are playing fast intricate metal, part of the reason they became so successful was due to how well they played live.

Next LoveBites: Set The World On Fire

the new live is Heavy Metal Never Dies is from the Ride for vengeance tour March 26th 2021 the reason they are on Hiatus is that Founder and Bassist Miho decided to leave the band for personal reasons. I assume due to a close family member died.

Congratulations! You guys have just discovered, arguably, the best heavy metal band in the world. Yes, they have toured with Dragonforce as an opening act. But right now the roles would be reversed. There are no bad Lovebites songs but this isn't even one of their best ones. One of the guitarists, Miyako, is a world class concert pianist. No, they have not toured in the U.S. but they have been to England and Germany. If you want to see a guitar duel for the ages between Midori and Miyako, then check their performance of Scream for Me. Just don't listen to any of the Bloodstock footage, the sound engineers fucked it up completely. Do another Lovebites reaction and you'll earn another subscription.😁👍

The two guitarists have been to the US (Miyako and Midori). They went to the NAMM music trade show in Anaheim (January 2020) where they both did booth appearances and played Lovebites songs. Midori at the Kemper booth and the Miyako at Peavey. Miyako also has her own signature flying-V Dean. As for Babymetal, all I can do is quote Ron Zombie. " "Hey they are nice kids out on the road touring. What are you doing besides being a grumpy old fuck?"

Wolfpack reporting 🐺🤘

My man literally said "overdubbed" ... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ... What a 🤡

Todo muy lindo pero ustedes hablan mas fuerte que la musica y ademas en el momento que los musicos se destacan no dejan apreciar nada

ebay / amazon

he he ... strange ... you love everything with power metal but you do not like power metal. Explain that ... if you can!

let's listen properly first！

Way too much yapping 😂
