I'm so glad I watched the blu-ray before listening to the actual CD that day. This song is an automatic 5-star for me.

WOW...Thank you..WOW...

As you have mentioned, this song is about death of heroes, sacrifice, honor, and glory. And something symbolic is Shopin piano Etude that Miyako plays precedingly to this song. As you know, Etude is "said" to be written by Shopin with anger and desperation for defeated Polish rebels raised up against Russian rule. The death of heroes and dedication. That is the theme of this "suite". Etude is not an intro, those two pieces are a suite. One more thing about her elegant movement of Asami, she used to be a ballerina.

That is realy uplifting lyric and music. Outstanding performance of right now classical metal piece. Nice profound reaction.

lyrics from the last two songs from "Five of a Kind" concert: 18.Edge Of The World Why do we learn to hate, deceive and lie, hurt each other？ Why does it never end？ The sorrow keeps on repeating Wailing, come downpours of the rain Will it end？ No one ever knows Wondering, what only time can tell What is at the end of life？ Why do we only see our own desires？ Greed is endless Why is there authority when there is no justice in their rulings Struggling like feeble, helpless fools Will it end？ No one ever knows Wandering, not knowing where to go Carrying the breath of life Standing at… The Edge of the World As long as you're still alive, remember - don't fear standing up, don't ever give it up Until the day you meet your end, it's not over - let your soul shine inside of your heart As long as you're still alive, remember - keep your dignity, stay true to who you are Until the day you meet your end, it's not over - let your heart love and always be loved How you live will always live on As your way of life, forever ------------------------------------------------- 19.We The United The silent dawn has been broken Our fate has now been decided for good Innocence can never be regained Blissful ignorance turns into guilt and shame We must first learn to give and understand That no one is able to live alone There is no need to be perfect Everyone has their own problems and faults Everything is indispensable, Every person is worthy and valuable Don’t give up on your life, fight for what’s right Live on and keep searching for answers We shall go forth Prideful, we stand united We can create miracles Always, there is a way Humans are greedy and selfish Wanting attention more than the respect Recognize the pain that others hide Have the strength to fight even for someone else People who’ve never made real enemies Have never stood up for what they believe We shall go forth Prideful, we stand united We can create miracles Always, there is a way Always, I will be here Always, we will be there ------------------------------------------------- The humans of Earth need to hear these words today more than ever before in history, in my opinion.

Miyako's piano solo at the end depicts the dying swan. It's sad and excellent.

Empty daydream has a great piano opening from Miyako and a cracking guitar solo too

I enjoyed your 'reaction' and recognition of their lyrics. Thanks for promoting them. Although LOVEBITES are never shy of offering uplift and encouragement in their lyrics, they are also consistently admonishing us to face truths, failures, struggles and challenges, "Don't Bite The Dust" "Rising" "Break The Wall" even the distress of "Shadowmaker" resolves to hope and determination, and the few songs that do not address such issues are 'fun' to lighten the mood. More than a 'party', their songs are more of a 'class' in self-acceptance/empowerment and unifying resolve. Just looking through the "Five of a Kind" setlist lyrics is an uplifting experience for me, and they have many, many other songs equally significant in their truths and encouragement. And the music? Unsurpassed in any genre they choose to include. (and a big THANK YOU to "Mao" !!!) all " imo "

Well there is another video that has miyako on an piano intro that is out of this world

Ahhhh.... Finally I Found The Best Word To Express this song = Graceful I Hope Miyako soon get endorse from piano brand such as Kawai etc The Only Japan Metal Band that use Piano on the stage so far i know is X Japan, with transparent acrylic piano its looks so beautiful on the stage.

Great reaction! Try Empty Daydream Live - more piano goodness. Stay safe.

So sad The version with piano intro has been deleted by KZfaq😭

Hey, thanks for quoting me. All Lovebites' lyrics are uplifting. I can't remember if I told that Midori, the other guitarist, was 20 when she started to learn the guitar ! I guess all Lovebites members are around late twenties, only Miyako is open about her age (30). No tattoos, no multiple piercings, no torn black jeans and t-shirts, no drug problems, no alcohol (except some beer for Miho the bassist) just pure talent. I would put Loviebites up against any male metal band and I think they would slay the opposition in perfomance, song writing abilty and musicianship and they have only been performing together for three years. I am 75 and can remember the impact on me the first time I heard Chuck Berry, Elivis Presley, the Beatles, and Black Sabbath - I felt the same the first time I heard Lovebites back in 2017, it gave me the same goosebumps. You probably haven't noticed but all members of Lovebites (except Haruna the drummer) perform, move around the stage and headbang in high heels. Midori's and Asami's (the singer) are about 4inches and I believe Midori's high heels are also platforms. Imagine playing a 90 minute gig in high heels, Miyako's are not quite so high. Of the five member four are between 4ft 9in and 5ft, only Miyako is taller at 5ft 2in. Since you like 'your girl' Miyako (just like me) I recommend that you watch the video in the attached link of her showing off her new signature Dean Flying V guitar. She has a KZfaq channel called Miyako Metal TV and in this episode, for the first time, she presents it in English. You will see a very different side of the serious Miyako on stage. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z56Al7GB3N-nmYU.html

Propably best female heavy band !

As others have commented, the piano solo version has been removed. Jayscollops, has recommended 'Empty Daydream' Here is the link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/or6Ykth-sp-Ymok.html Thank you for your reaction. The more people who get encouragement to react to Lovebites hopefully, will get them many more fans.

I'm impress you trying to comprehend the lyrics, usually people only focus on the technical skill,... for that sir you deserve a thumbs up,...

Wow, a female version of Helloween! Speaking of the finest Power Metal band, their “How Many Tears” from their United Alive DVD is amazing, would love to see you review that 👍🏻

For piano try Epilogue from 2019 but for an uplifting tune go with We the United Zepp city 2020 its a pure show stopper that will melt your face

最初の ピアノソロ から見ないとダメだよ！ しかし、フルバージョンは 既に削除されてるんだよね。 You have to see it from the opening piano solo ! But, full version already deleted. Connected to Swan Song , piano etude kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nqpyncyCrp_HqZc.html

Miho Miho Miho!

they took the combined version with the revolutionary etude down. could only find this one: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oJuoiaxox6jQYnk.html starts at 11 min 42 secs. watch it, before its gone. lovebites are awesome. they deserve much more recognition. thank you for your reaction.

Midori the other guitarist start playing guitar at the age of 20. Hows that? 😅

Hey if you want more piano time try Empty Daydream ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/or6Ykth-sp-Ymok.html) or Epilogue (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gK2ql9ahu6q-lYk.html). If you want a fun song to cheer up with then Scream for Me (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b7WXZ8qnuLvRc6M.html) with some of the best riffs between Midori and Miyako, or go with Raise Some Hell (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h9NdZt2ZqKzLmJs.html).

Actually, it's not an uplifting song. Music may sound like it but read the lyrics. It's an ode to the fallen warriors. And the ending outro symbolizes a death of swan.

please check out Unlucky Morpheus - Black Pentagram live

Check out Empty Daydream Or Dancing With The Devil for different style. Good reaction video

Another great reaction. You should check out this latest video that was posted. It has 2 songs: "Break The Wall" and "Shadowmaker" and the actual piano solo before they go into Swan Song. You can make a couple of reaction videos from this one. Here is the link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oJuoiaxox6jQYnk.html

Have you checked Miyako's channel ? she speaks English on the recent video. kzfaq.info

miyako looks like mikasa from atack on titan LOL

No fault of your own but this was the wrong one. the one people wanted you to react to had a piano solo in the beginning for a few mins... but its no longer on youtube.

You got the wrong version. The correct version has a piano solo in the beginning

I have to look into these gals, I’ll bet a million dollars Helloween is a big influence on them

Decent interpretation of the lyrics, but it's based on a historical battle.

pls check out and react to miyas former band " a drop of joker" @YvOw superawesome too and miyako even sings a bit ...

Perhaps--- Pretty Maids....:-(
