The key change during the last section of the solo is brilliant!  M & M outdid themselves on this one. ❤ Love this song!

cutting a song for radio is like cutting a Rembrandt for fitting a frame 😂

日本から応援してます❤好きな番組です🎉3月には武道館コンサートで25000人を感動させるでしょう❤5人の天才プレーヤーによって❤❤❤❤❤

Miyako's new custom Dean Zero is one sexy guitar.

Miyako's right hand is so cool when she plays a solo with just her left hand! 😍
It reminded me of the solo from the "Burden of Time" live performance. 🤔
The flowing ruffles on Miyako's asymmetrical outfit flow from the tail of the guitar, creating an artistic sensibility reminiscent of a sculpture.
The balance between Miyako's open stance and her outfit is exquisite and cool. 💘❤️
The lyrics were written by Asami, the music was composed by Miyako, and it has been announced that the music video will be the first to use 3DCG.
P.S.
[🎸Dean USA Zero Floyd Custom White ]
Miyako's DEAN Signatur Guitar replaced with Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker Set Gold pickups.
This is a white-colored guitar that makes use of Miyako's favorite wood grain.
Miyako's guitar heads are white, allowing the wood grain to show through.
The inlay shape is the same as Miyako's other DEEN guitars. The head of the guitar was ordered to be the same shape as her signature V guitar.
If you are planning to travel to Japan around the end of March, I recommend the following!
💝＜ LIVE AT BUDOKAN(Budōkan) ＞💝
[ 🥋Nippon Budokan, Tokyo, 🇯🇵JAPAN ]
Sunday, March 29, 2026
OPEN 16:00 / START 17:00
For many Japanese artists, performing at the Nippon Budokan is a big goal and a sign of being top-notch. 🤗

In my opinion, the video was created exactly according to the text. Asami as the captain of her life.

“Long song” he said! 🤡 This isn’t American pop music, this is heavy metal! The longer the song the Better!  🤘

I didn’t realise it was a long song. So it was a good one.

I have to admit I agree with him - love the song, couldn't care less for the video.

First Class Power Metal. ❤❤❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘💯💯💯

I have a radioshow and biweekly plays the latest hard music from Japan. Doesn't care how long a song is. Is it good I play it! The shortest song I have played was a punk song of 54 seconds. And the longest around 16 minutes. But my colleague that play other stuff has our record with a song of 45 minutes. He had to switch from side A to Side B on the vinyl! :-)

LOVEBITES - The Castaway lyrics & credits:
In the darkness, suddenly awakening
Sky is fallin’, and lightning dividing the night
Waves are crashing loud and high
Winds are endlessly blowing against me
What a nightmare, am I at the end of the world
I keep on going through stormy grey

Rising from shattered tide
I will not fall
Chasing through endless night
I hear the call

Rain, I never die in the rain
You never can hide my Wain
Burning the path through the dark
I never let go my faith
I never stop in the waves
You never stand in my way
Fighting the storm with my heart

Drifting further where no light remains
Even if my existence is under a threat
Still I will face the storm again

Beating the evil shadows
I will stand tall
Night cannot keep me chained
I hear the call

Rain, I never die in the rain
You never can hide my Wain
Burning the path through the dark
I never let go my faith
I never stop in the waves
You never stand in my way
Fighting the storm with my heart

Castaway
I sail the journey
Till the skyline fades away
I won’t sway
Until I see my Polaris
Oh, I am the castaway

SOLO: midori / miyako / both

Rain, I never die in the rain
You never can hide my Wain
Burning the path through the dark
I never let go my faith
I never stop in the waves
You never stand in my way
Fighting the storm with my heart

Castaway
I sail the journey
Till the skyline fades away
I won’t sway
Until I see my Polaris
Oh, I am the castaway

They're pretty popular.  Playing the Nippon Budokan in March.

Miyako's new signature guitar is stunning. I think I remember her saying it took a long time for it to arrive

To your question about their popularity:  They are playing Budokan in March.  That is the Asian equivalent of Madison Square Garden for North America, or Wembley Arena for Europe.  Not the largest, but the most prestigious.

ESTO ES LOVEBITES‼️

Delighted to have Rocko back and really like his constructive criticism. BTW, the OMV is not developed using AI, they used CGI and green screens. This is mentioned in the credits of the OMV (3DCG / VFX Artist)

Most bands that release a new album release a song or two before the album release and usually do a music video.  If Rocko wants to see them play live than show him a live video.
