この曲で泣いた人、正直に挙手して下さい😭✋

Miyako closing her eyes, just feeling the music.  The passion in everything she does...

Do we need any more proof that this band is in a class of it's own ? 🐺

I think this song is really a masterpiece…❤️🤘🏻.

That is simply as good as it gets!!!!! And they are as good as it gets!!! I'm 67 years old and I've never seen anything like them!!! So thankful for them and everything they do!!!! They are all I need till the end!!

俺も、そう思います👍👍😂MIYAKOは、天才❤😂LOVEBITS最高👍👍❤😂🎉

そうです！miyakoは天才です🙌

The greatest band in the world! 🤘🏻🐺

I was privileged to be in the audience for every show of this tour, this was the final performance at the legendary Zepp DiverCity. They pulled this off 9 times without a hitch. Just consider the choreography of Miyako in particular and, to a lesser extent, Asami. One wrong step, one lapse of concentration and this goes pear-shaped pretty quickly. Tomorrow I leave for Japan for Asami’s birthday shows, then it’s back to Europe for a few weeks and four LOVEBITES shows with your friend and mine, Jens. Then back to Japan for the whole Outstanding tour. Yes, I’m obsessed, but tell me how that can be in any way bad!

This should be a Grammy Award Winning performance.

it's a rare treat when my favorite reactor reacts to my favorite band while they play my favorite song 😀 Thanks Jimmy! I have always enjoyed your reactions and the added value you tend to bring with your knowledge. Though I understand there isn't much left to say about these women after all these songs that wasn't already said. Anyway, thanks Jimmy, always a pleasure!

Our goddesses will come to South East Asia  (Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia) tour on October. I will go for the Malaysia tour in Kuala Lumpur that will be held on 4th October. Now my job is to immerse myself in their catalogue so I can enjoy their show to the fullest. 😅🤘

one of the best live performances you'll see that's for sure these women have not only reshown the industry how its done but they have mastered this craft

"DYSTOPIA SYMPHONY" was released in March 2021. Although many fans had long anticipated hearing it live, a live performance had not materialized for quite some time. I suspect the reason—or at least my guess—was the challenge of Miyako being unable to play both the guitar and piano parts simultaneously during a live show.
It seems they resolved this issue by having Asami take over some of the piano parts that Miyako played on the original recording. I believe the decision for Miyako and Asami to play a piano duet partway through the song was a strategy to smoothly transition Asami back to her usual position as the vocalist (rather than just a special performance for the fans, I view it as a clever solution born of necessity).
There is one more thing I noticed...
When listening to the original recording, the song sounds majestic and profound—truly symphonic in nature—whereas the live version comes across as somewhat more upbeat and fun. Both versions are wonderful, but I sincerely hope many people will listen to the original recording as well, so they can fully appreciate the musical world Miyako created.

I know it’s been repeated a million times before, but it’s insane the amount of talent in this band! It’s almost unfair to every other band…

If I was in a big named band and I had to play after Lovebites?! Yea, how the hell do you expect me to go out there and perform after these ladies?! It’s impossible…

Anyhow, after all we’ve seen and heard of Lovebites, they are STILL an underrated band! How in the world is this even possible?! Come on world, put the stamp of approval on these ladies as a bonafide household name, already!!!
👍🏼❤️🐺

Btw, Jimmy, I think this concert is going to be out on ….. drum roll……. LASERDISC! Of all things… haha 👍🏼😊

Great reaction!
I think since this song is themed around the tragedy that befell Beethoven, Lovebites felt it should be performed with a stoic approach. Lovebites always try to reflect the emotions conveyed by the lyrics.

Thanks for treating yourself - and us! - to this masterpiece fusion of Metal and Classical, Live.
You can really see Miyako is proud being able to finally take it on tour - after what seemed like an eternity, and all the whispers of possibly the greatest song by LOVEBITES in a while gathering dust on a hard-to-acquire EP... This is really a labor of love - and of head-spinning virtuosity. The piano-four-hands that I do not remember seeing in Metal until this. ONE second as Miyako goes from the piano to guitar... and back... several times. The Progressive middle section with Haruna, Fami, Midori, all going places - ant then that beautiful resolution into Beethoven's own tune, setting every hair on point. Finally, Asami's dramatic supplication on the chorus, and the final ride into eternity, upping the intensity yet again.

For the first time, though, I have to disagree with you; I read the stage performance as follows: "This is decidedly not business, nor another day at the office - this is serious stuff that we want every one of you to listen and hear. It is drama in music, and a virtuoso tour-de-force. FEEL it!" One can see by body language all five Bites are excited, even elevated, but also bent on this recording coming out perfect, as it deserves. This, one might say, is less Rock per se for them and more Art. However, the transition into the twin solo breaks the spell at the "weakest link", with Fami beaming a winning smile, and Asami emoting at the piano... and Haruna usually spins her stars on special moments - as this. The show, seen in proper order, mixes these intense moments with light spirit and lively interaction very well - see, e. g., "Where's Identity?" from the same night out, also filmed there for the first time! 🤘

I am looking forward to seeing them again in a months time!

I was left speechless when I saw this live recording... it was so wonderful and perfectly staged... seeing Asami and Miyako together at the piano was a dream... I’m looking forward to the concert in Prague on July 26, 2026, more and more every day... I can hardly wait to meet these ladies backstage...🐺🐺🐺🎸🎸🎹🎹♥♥♥

Masterclasses in piano and guitar from Miyako and a breakdown from everyone that was unlike anything I've ever heard in one song. Haruna's great start then Prog, Metal, Rock and a fun piano duet! For me, this is as good as Metal gets. 🤘🤘
