“#Japanese Girls Metal Band LOVEBITES Serves as Official Ambassador for Mamoru Oshii's New Anime VLADLOVE”
A five-member Japanese girls metal band LOVEBITES is confirmed to serve as the second official ambassador for the internationally acclaimed director Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in The Shell)'s highly-anticipated new anime project VLADLOVE. They also perform the Mai Version of the anime's OP theme "Winds Of Transylvania" newly written by them. Meanwhile, the first ambassador BlooDye perform the Mitsugu Version of the song.
The band was formed in 2016, then made their major debut from Victor Entertainment in the following year, and has been active worldwide, including the performances at the Wacken Open Air heavy metal festival in Germany and Bloodstock Open Air in the UK. The anime's producer made an offer to LOVEBITES for their overwhelming presence and power, but also for their fateful band name, their all-female band composition which is appropriate for "Girl Meets Girl", one of the themes of the anime.
Message from LOVEBITES:
"We are pleased to announce that we will be taking charge of the theme song for the new anime series VLADLOVE created by the executive director Mamoru Oshii and director Junji Nishimura. We are looking forward to delivering this heavy and dynamic song to you. We are also appointed as an official ambassador. We will be supporting VLADLOVE to the best of our ability, so let's get excited about the anime together!"
Message from Mamoru Oshii:
"When I stumbled upon the video of LOVEBITES, the five members overlapped with the girls who are the main characters in VLADLOVE. Dressed in white outfits and playing fierce metal music, this heretical entity is a perfect fit for the theme song of this unorthodox anime. More than anything else, the band's name seems to fit the anime!"
