MIDORI TATEMATSU (LOVEBITES): "I AM PROUD THAT WE HAVE SO MANY FEMALE BANDS IN JAPAN"

"I am proud that in Japan we have so many female-fronted bands": Midori Tatematsu, Lovebites Interview – February 24, 2025 For the first time in their career, the Japanese band Lovebites is coming to Latin America, performing at the first edition of the Titans of Metal festival on March 1 at Parque Bicentenario in Mexico City. We had the chance to talk with guitarist Midori Tatematsu about her first impressions of coming to Mexico and the growing, highly admired Japanese metal scene. How do you feel about coming to Mexico for the first time and sharing the stage with major bands like W.A.S.P. and Six Feet Under at the first Titans of Metal Fest? This will be our first live performance in Latin America, so we are especially excited about it. As a band, it’s a great honor for us to share the stage with these metal legends, and personally, I really want to see them perform because I’ve never had the chance to attend one of their concerts.

THE WARNING – QUEEN OF THE MURDER SCENE: A DARK JOURNEY THROUGH CONCEPTUAL ROCK

The second studio album by the Mexican trio The Warning, Queen of the Murder Scene, marks a crucial moment in the band's career. Released on November 25, 2018, this isn't just another rock album – it's a dark and immersive conceptual work that tells a story of obsession, psychological descent, and murder through 13 powerful tracks.

This narrative duality creates tension and emotional depth throughout the listening experience.

It was cleverly structured into chapters, released separately in the weeks leading ...

[Translation] Interview with Misa on Rolling Stone Japan vol. 28 (2024-09-25)

Misa: Her artisanal attention to detail and love for the band Misa, the bassist of Band-Maid, is loved also for her performance of drinking alcohol on stage. Contrary to her taciturn appearance, she plays technical and passionate bass lines on her 5-string bass. With her heavy sound, she makes Band-Maid songs even more solid. She thoughtfully talked with us about the challenge she took on in their latest album and about what Band-Maid means to her. ― In which song on Epic Narratives did you personally challenge yourself most? Misa: It’s Track 13 TAMAYA!. When I received the first demo, I thought it would be fun to play with slap, so I wrote such a bass line on the spot, but that increased the difficulty level. It has a lot of precise switches, like I pick for a bar and then slap just for another bar, and I slap again just for a bar or two quarters. I made it so myself, though (laughs).   ― You Band-Maid have a tendency to pursue unusual difficulties,...
