For the first time in their career, the Japanese band Lovebites<\/strong> will come to Latin America and will do so within the framework of the first edition of the Titans of Metal<\/strong> festival that will take place on March 1 at the Bicentenario Park in Mexico City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were able to talk with guitarist Midori Tatematsu<\/strong> about her first impressions of arriving in Mexico and the growing and admired Japanese metal scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

How do you feel about coming to Mexico for the first time and sharing the stage with great bands like WASP or Six Feet Under in the first edition of Titans of Metal Fest?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will be our first live performance in Latin America so we are especially excited about it. For us as a band, it is a great honor to be able to share the stage with these metal legends and personally, I really want to see them on stage because I have not had the opportunity to attend any of their concerts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world is currently enchanted by Japanese bands like Babymetal, Band-Maid and of course Lovebites, where do you think all the fascination with your country's rock scene comes from?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think every band has a different appeal, but one thing is that, to varying degrees, a uniquely Japanese musicality is woven into their songs. As a band, of course the most important thing is the music, but at the same time, as a performer on stage it is very important that the total package is appealing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Lovebites we don't foreground typical Japanese culture\/subculture, but of course I think the atmosphere we create is different from what people in the West are used to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you think about the fact that the most famous rock and metal bands in Japan around the world are mostly led by women?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many all-female or female-fronted rock and metal bands in Japan that define the music scene there. That has helped a lot in bringing out great musicians within the Japanese scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Especially since the emergence of Babymetal, more people within the general Japanese population enjoy metal music, which makes it easier for bands to grow. Although the metal scene in the world is still dominated by men, I am proud that in Japan we were able to produce so many high-quality female bands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
