Love this song! Maximum the Hormone are always great. You should check out their collab with Atarashii Gakko! they just released a couple weeks ago. The song is called “Shimi feat. Atarashii Gakko!”. The song “Shimi" was originally released back in 2007, on the album Buikikaesu, and it’s a great listen. But the new version is also great. And in case you haven’t heard of them, Atarashii Gakko! is a Japanese j-pop group. Also, I’m by no means fluent in Japanese, but I do know a little bit. For help on the pronunciation of the band member’s names, Daisuke-han - sounds like “dice-kay-hawn”, rhymes with “nice-gray-dawn”. Ryo/Maximum the Ryo-kun - sounds like “Ryo-koon”, rhymes with “show-tune”. Ryo is basically said as one syllable, which i know is kinda difficult, but you just gotta say “ree-oh" fast Nao - sounds kinda like “now”, technically its “naw-oh”, but when you put those 2 syllables together it sounds like “now”. Ue-chan - sounds like “oo-ay-chawn”, rhymes with “blue-gray-lawn”. If you need any further help you can try typing stuff into google translate and hitting the speaker icon to hear it. Google isn’t always great at long translations of Japanese, but it's usually not too bad at getting the pronunciations right.
Can't go wrong with Maximum the Hormone!

Daisuke (frontman and screamer) is also a drummer, and sometimes switches with Nao when she sings the lead part of a song and he takes the drums.
Ryo (singer/guitarist/songwriter) and Nao (drummer/singer) are brother and sister.
Thanks, I don't know why I was convinced it was the drummer and the bass player. I'll remember now.
