Led Zeppelin may have had their Stairway to Heaven but Lovebites have their Swan Song.❤

Isn't she breathtaking on piano and guitar !!.. This whole band of Angelic Metal Queens are unmatched

Miho Miho Miho!

All Ladies in LOVEBITES can play the piano (keyboards): Miho, Haruna, Midori, Asami, Miyako and Fami (bass player since October 2022). The piano is one of the main instruments that many Japanese musicians begin with, often at an early age. For example: Miho started playing the piano at the age of 5. Later, already studying at school, she mastered the bass guitar. Midori started playing the piano at age 2. At the age of 8, she began playing the electric organ. And only at the age of 20 Midori began to learn to play the guitar. Miyako has been playing the piano since the age of 3. Miyako wanted to become a pianist, perform at classical music concerts. She seriously prepared for this from childhood, but at the age of 18 she picked up a guitar and .......🤗 Asami also plays the piano a little during concerts, the songs "We the United" and "Today Is the Day".

Thank you so much for reacting to Lovebites, so appreciating! 😊 2:01 That is Miyako 🥲 2:36 Indeed incredible. It is incredibly demanding to play the double drum kick at those high tempos. I would look very earnest just *trying* to do that, and after 5 seconds my feet would just fall off. 😂Haruna keeps it together for *the length of a show* , and she even keeps smiling happily while kicking the shit out of her drumset. 😂"Haruna, my heroine!" 😄 I think, that meanwhile half of the (Metal) world is in love with these *ladies* . 😊 🐺

Who would have thought that they got classic education, right... this band is just breath taking!

Many of their songs could be called a masterpiece. This song is a masterpiece. To every reaction to this song I say - this song is the Miyako show.

Perhaps my favorite Lovebites Reaction ever, Jeff. It's the first time I've visually seen someone react not to the Miyako's fingers, but rather her timing and touch. Mi-Ya and Musicality are inseparably joined at the hip. Also saw the tear in your eye after the Outro. I Love them all, but Mi-Ya is just Special.

Yep: good music, majestic show, virtuous performance from all musicians. I'm very happy that all this happens thanks to female interpreters. I understand your expression in the first moments of the piano piece: that's great! As always, thanks, Jeff, for the shrewd discovery...

Masterpiece.

Miyako is so special, what a phenomenal musician. They all are.

LOVEBITES - Swan Song lyrics: If this was the last day you could live on this earth Would you still go on, accusing someone for today It’s better to fail than not do anything at all It is not the length, but depth of life that counts Oh brave soldier Oh gallant warrior Valor to those who died in battle to Valhalla Believe what’s in your soul For death will come to all You shall rest peacefully in God’s Heaven Floating lotus You are so graceful Saintly and glorious Till the end of time Floating lotus You are so beautiful Sing me your sweet song The legend of the swan If you’ve never hoped, you’ve never been though despair Ignorance is bliss, it’s easier to not care You might think it’s meaningless to sacrifice a life Sometimes the life of one can save so many more Oh brave soldier Oh gallant warrior Valor to those who died in battle to Valhalla Believe what’s in your soul For death will come to all You shall rest peacefully in God’s Heaven Floating lotus You are so graceful Saintly and glorious Till the end of time Floating lotus You are so beautiful Sing me your sweet song The legend of the swan SOLO: miyako / both Floating lotus You are so graceful Saintly and glorious Till the end of time Floating lotus You are so beautiful Sing me your sweet song The legend of the swan SOLO: midori ----- lyrics: asami music: miyako arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) from Electric Pentagram 2020

Swan song and frozen serenade has to be their two best performances I've seen thus far 🔥🔥

What you have to bear in mind when your jaw hits the floor as you're watching Miyako on the piano is that she's not a guitarist who can tickle the ivories but rather a classically trained pianist ( from the age of 3 ) who only took up guitar at the age of 19 - which is an even more astounding fact !

Haruna does something that not a lot of drummers do (or at least not as well) - she plays her drum kit as an instrument, not just something to use to keep time. Her fills and use of cymbals really add an extra dimension to the music of Lovebites. Of then the focus is on the twin lead guitars, bit Haruna's work in the background really needs to be actively noticed and appreciated.

Doing this as an intro is perhaps the most metal thing any band has done. Miyako's tour-de-force.

Epic, majesty. Lovebites is a masterpiece factory. Haruna is really the 'Little Big Engine' that makes a lot of tiny sounds. What would a masterpiece sound like next year?Lovebites rule! Great reaction bro🤘🤘👍👍thanks

great reaction!!! All these beautiful ladies are virtuosos, no doubt. But what Haruna does on her drums is absolutely mind boggling, she must have 12 feet.

Thanks for the reaction! LOVEBITES : 🐺Miho - bass, backing vocals (in August 2021 she left the band). 🐺Haruna - drums. 🐺Midori - guitars, backing vocals. 🐺Miyako (Mi-Ya)- guitars, piano, keyboards, backing vocals. 🐺Asami - lead vocals, piano. 🐺Fami - bass ,backing vocals (since October 2022) "Etude Op.10, No.12" ( or "Revolutionary Etude") by the great Polish composer Frederic Chopin, which was written in 1831 and is dedicated to the Polish patriots who raised an uprising (1830-1831) against the Russian Empire, whose troops occupied Poland. "Swan song" ( lyrics - Asami , music -Miyako) from the third album LOVEBITES "Electric Pentagram" (2020). For many centuries (starting from Ancient Greece) there is a legend, according to which swans, non-singing, "silent" birds, acquire a voice a few moments before death, and this dying singing of swans is amazingly beautiful. "Etude" by F. Chopin and "Swan Song" are dedicated to the warriors who died in battle. Therefore, at the concert, "Etude" and "Swan Song" are played together. In an interview given after the release of the "Electric Pentagram" album, Asami (a former ballerina, studied classical ballet for about 16 years before becoming a singer) said that when she wrote the lyrics of the song, she was thinking about the famous ballet P.I. Tchaikovsky "Swan Lake" . During the performance of the song, Asami imitates the Swan (hand movements). And in the final part (piano Miyako), symbolizing the death of the Swan, Asami depicts the dying Swan on stage. Because the camera at the end of the song is focused on Miyako playing the piano, Asami's "death of the Swan" was not captured on video.

Just WOW!

"she shreds on the piano and then shreds on the guitar..." I believe there's a song where she plays both at the same time too.

Thanks, Jeff. Such amazing players, and fun to watch!

The Chopin piece performed by Miyako (guitar/keyboard) as the intro is "Etude OP10, No12", known as "Revolution Etude" In 1831, an uprising of some officers and civilians against the Polish government under the de facto control of the Russian Empire, dubbed the "November Revolution", failed due to the direct intervention of Russian forces. Chopin is informed of this news during his travels. he lost his place to return to. When the Russian army invaded Warsaw, Chopin's agents released "Etude OP10, No.12" in Paris. People called it a "revolutionary etude" because of the agent's exaggerated promotion of the song. Miyako composed "SwanSong" with reference to this "revolutionary etude" and Dvorak's "New World Symphony". Former ballerina Asami (vocals) wrote a poem inspired by Norse mythology and "Swan Lake" based on the historical background of "Revolutionary Etude". "SwanSong" is a requiem dedicated to the warriors who fought to reclaim fatherland, a masterpiece that only LOVEBITES can complete. LB's songs will give you new discoveries and surprises for each song.

Didn't I tell you Jeff, Didn't I!! 😆 🤣 Many thanks for the mention btw - my 15 minutes of fame finally came! 😆 I'm very much hoping to see them live in the UK sometime - I think the last time they were touring as support band for dragonforce. The new bass player is very young and I'm reliably informed that she's extremely proficient! As always, take good care of yourself and I very much look forward to other Lovebites and Nightwish songs! 😃

Great reaction. I suggest Epilogue kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gK9xfbxz2tuvd4E.html for your next reaction to Lovebites. It has nothing to do with classic music but begins with a pair of acoustic guitars, then vocal and piano comes in. It is all slow beautiful ballad with soulful weeping and wailing guitar solos of Miyako and Midori.

In background you can hear another Chopin etude: Ocean, pre recorded always by Miyako!

There are several other songs that Miyako composed inspired by classical music, such as the fusion of metal and classical music incorporated in the intro. "Empty Daydream" (Live in Tokyo 2019) is by Sergei Rachmaninoff (Rachmaninov) "Moments Musicaux Op.16 No4" is incorporated into the intro. The "Empty Daydream" song has the feel of Michael Jackson's "Beat It". The song was performed at the time by JENNIFER BATTEN, one of Miyako's top 5 favorite guitar heroes. Miyako added to the prelude at Live in 2019. And then"Winds of Transylvania" (Live video). Beethoven Symphony No. 5, Op. 67 "Fate" is incorporated into the introduction. "Winds of Transylvania" is, I feel, a good take on Judas Priest's "PainKillers" In fact, LOVEBITES covers "PainKillers" P.S.. The girls are recreating this song live. KZfaq channel "MusicMania". Lovebites - Winds of Transylvania (Heavy Metal Never Dies - Tokyo Dome City Hall 2021)

Miyako Magic! 🥰

Haruna at supersonic speed if she plays that drums faster I think she takes off.🤣🐺🤘🐺🤘🐺

One more thing,do you know that lovebites new album is upcoming 23/12,call " Judgment day"

Just love that jaw drop oh my God face.. Great reaction to this masterpiece Jeff, Best wishes. You have to do Rising live next.. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bNSTnJt82b6ugJ8.html This link has the captions on.. Great lyrics and song, and performance.. Best wishes from France..

Have you reacted to The Big Push’s Swan Song. I just heard it yesterday. It’s beautiful. I recommend it.

You probably want to do "Dancing With the Devil" Live at Zepp Diver City.... trust me.

Another great song that Miyako gets on piano and Midori gets on an acoustic guitar is Lovebites A Frozen Serenade kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d8too7SH2pO2fmw.html

😁

You should really react to (or at least check out) Unleash The Archers' "Awakening". See from where this was possibly inspired...

The Chopin piece is technically difficult especially for the left hand, as you see Miyako no difficulty playing it. Then she shows the same high level of skill on the guitar. She has never had guitar lessons, self taught! The backing track was recorded by Miyako for the concert. Miyako composed the music with Asami writing the lyrics. While all write songs, usually with assistance from Mao. Miyako is the only one who does her own arrangements. All of their songs are final engineered and produced in Finland by the team who do Nightwish's songs. What is going to be interesting how they incorporate Fami, their new bassist. Highly talented and skilled. Check her channel.

Frozen Serenade - check it out !!! 🇿🇦🔥🔥🤘

Another reactor gets something in his eyes watching Lovebites? At this point I demand an investigation. Lol.

Here's another high energy all-female band, "Gacharic Spin": kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z5eogpp40b7ag3U.html

😉If I know you at all, you've probably got this new Valeriy Stepanov tune already in the queue. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e7ORq7elppu4pWw.html
