Well good news is I don’t think Chu Chu Lovely Muni Muni Mura Mura is gonna be underrated/appreciated anymore thanks to the latest Chainsaw Man chapter 😂
If you know what the song is about, knowing the lead singer, drummer are brother and sister, and understanding onomodopia, it makes it quite interesting lol
I have loved this band for years. I found them through Death Note, and was immediately a fan. IMO, everything from Rokkinpo Goroshi onwards is amazingly creative, original, and heavy. At least enough to keep me, a lifelong metalhead, interested. If insane genre-bending is your vibe, no one is better.
Maximum the Hormone is one of my favorites from Japan! Cool to see them being mentioned on a bigger channel, I think we have reacted to almost all their songs.
Dir En Grey needs to be talked about. Soshaku is freaking incredible. Yousei Teikoku is my favorite band, they’ve created some of the most ethereal songs I’ve ever listened to, Gekkakyousou and Torikago. Not to mention their masterpieces like 天鵞絨パピリオ and Astral Dogma. Denkare is also incredible being Yousei Teikoku’s sister band. My favorite songs from them are probably E.E.L.S. and The Woman.
I love Dir en grey, i think they're the metal band i come back to the most! Although I don't think joey knows them quite as well as MTH in order to fill up a Video....yet
Dir En Grey was popular in America even when i was growing up and was listening to metal which is wild to think im 32 and listened to them as a kid when i really didnt listen to Japanese music til a little older ahha
I only know a few of their songs, and while I like all those I've heard, Yoshu Fukushu is, imo, an absolute underrated masterpiece. It captures everything about teenage angst and the experience of going through puberty and school and never quite being able to leave those experiences behind so perfectly. The best songs are those where the music tells the same story when you remove the lyrics, and they nailed it for Yoshu Fukushu.
Been listening to them since 2009 when I was in Japan. The songs Louisiana Bob and shimi were my theme songs while I was there lmao. Bu-ikikaesu is just one of the best metal albums of all time imo
My favorite song of them is definitely Buikikaesu!, i love their female singer's voice so much and it just makes the tune so much better. Additionally the riff is unique and catchy which makes me love it even more.
I agree, Nao is so loveable. She's great at drums and can do vocal parts pretty well, she's my favorite. And her parts on songs like Chu Chu Lovely and Yoshu Fukushu are what describe hrr as amazing imo!
gotta say, i appreaciate the idea of going more into music, whenever i talk about music with friends i get really excited but i rarely see the same excitement there, so this is kind of a heavenssend :D also love maximum the hormone, first heard of them in deathnote, later on heard their music in air master and occasionally i find myself listening to them when i feel like it, they just have great energy in their songs
It's great to see you shining more light on Japanese music, Joey! There's SO many awesome Japanese bands and artists our there that I feel don't get the attention they deserve outside of Japan/ East Asia. I was one of the MANY people that discovered Maximum The Hormone through Death Note. While I've never gotten hugely into them, songs like Yoshu Fukushu and the title track of Bu-Ikikaesu are such JAMS! Other bands that I think would be interesting to see videos like this on are WagakkiBand, One OK Rock and Babymetal.
I really love One Ok Rock and because of my tent neighbours at Graspop, I learned about Paledusk. They were pretty good and a nice way to start a festival day
@@c.k.1933 I still enjoy them and that's what matters to me. Not everything has to be heavy either and I like it when bands try different things and evolve
@@c.k.1933I think it's because their main goal was to hit it off international, so they changed their sound to appeal to more people. Their songs are still incredibly catchy and his energy is amazing live. If I'm wrong though, please correct me(:
@@WPRianne Not everything has to be heavy sure, but I think everyone can agree that songs like the The beginning, Liar, Re:make, Deeper, mighty long fall were much better than whatever they do now.
You ABSOLUTELY need to do a video on Dir En Grey! Not enough people overseas know about them, but they are so incredible and diverse that it'd be a crime to not give them a spot in the limelight!
Please continue this series Joey. I always love finding new music. Maximum the Hormone is awesome. Would really like to see you talk about Polkadot Stingray, or Hyde's solo career.
20:15 Joey, Rolling 1000toon WAS used in an anime! It's the ED for Air Master. But yes, I totally agree that Rokkimpo Goroshi is their best!! I love Buiikikaesu to death, but deep down, I just can't put it over Rokkimpo.. I love MtH most when they're doing hardcore punk it seems. I love their more metal stuff, but their hardcore leaning tracks are just that much more appealing to me. So fucking catchy and energetic, every track is so amazing and gets lodged in my brain
bro, I just comment on that too, but I never botter to learn the animes name. so glad you brung it up days earlier. a true MTH connosieur mr eyeballdad
The first time I ever heard Maximum the Hormone, my friend told me it was System of a Down singing in gibberish lol. I never did a deep dive so thanks for making it easy for me Joey!
I came across an ancient fan comment of yours when I was watching every MAN WITH A MISSION video to get amped up to see them live, so I know you got good taste, looking forward to this series. It was crazy seeing them in a club of 500 when they play stadiums in Japan, big respect to them for doing the tour just for the fans. Felt the same thing with Thee Michelle Gun Elephant, "Why aren't these guys huge in the US?" So it's cool to see you introducing people to Japanese bands. EDIT: Blue Hearts reference, great!
Went down the rabbit hole of Japanese metal (my bad if this is the wrong gemre) bands recently and went through a lot of Boris' and Maximum the Hormones discography. Been really really loving both
What's the chance that you make a video about Maximum the Hormone partially because they were used in anime like Chainsaw Man and then a week later the Chainsaw Man chapter revolves around one of their songs.
This was such a fantastic recommendation for new listeners! I recently showed my younger sister What's Up People and she was vibing the entire time lol Also, I would like to make a suggestion for a future video in this series, for Garnt's sake: Minami. Her emotion in her songs is so intense and intoxicating to listen to, and I think it would be fantastic to hear your thoughts and opinions on her music! Thanks Joey!
I think Bu-ikikaesu falls into my top 10 albums of all time. So many fun songs. Maybe Asian Kung-Fu Generation next? Or maybe Ellegarden or Hi-Standard?
I had Maximum the Hormone on my mp3 -player when I traveled to Japan for a first time. Every time I hear them, my mind teleports to that trip! I wish they'd got bigger in Europe and they could do a large festival tour here. I'm pretty sure those shows would be crazy!
Would love to see this done for Dir en grey. Uroboros definitely made a splash in the metal fandom when it came out but they have so much good stuff, would love to hear your takes.
Got to see MTH live in NYC during their last US tour. Such a great show. They even made headlines that week. Can't wait to catch them the next time they hit the states. 'Hungry Pride' is gonna go hard in the pits.
Would love to see one of these about SiM! They got popular recently bc of AoT, but I feel like a lot of people haven't discovered the rest of their amazing discography
As someone who was heavily bullied in school, I won't lie, hearing Yoshu Fukushu for the first time in high school was exhilarating. MTH has a lot of bangers, but for me, this one's gotta be my favourite
Thanks for doing this! I love when this band gets exposure. I suprisingly didnt find them through deathnote, but instead through their music video for A.L.I.E.N. yoshu fukashu is by far my favorite album by them and theyre easily in my top 5 favorite bands. Thanks again!
I would like to see this series to continue, you have a good insight and description. Haven't really put myself to purposely listen to Maximum the Hormone (haven't watch Death Note yet, and forgot they are in 3rd ED of CSM) until they recently uploaded "reroreropurinpurin" and in my recommendation. Took me by surprise and I love the cheeky childish naughty theme of the song, and still bops My way of exploring artists is listen through per album, this is the perfect video to get me into this band.
Woah, did Joey really release this video just two weeks before Chainsaw Man chapter 137 drops, which includes Denji watching this chick singing freakin’ Maximum the Hormone karaoke……!!! Crazy coincidence. I think they just got a lot of new fans and hype. I’ve heard their OPs before in anime, but never straight up listened to them on Spotify or YT. Definitely a huge fan now thanks to Chainsaw Man, and this wonderful educational vid! Thanks man! What awesome timing.
I’m very excited to this series!! There’s no way I’ll agree with everything you say, but I never get to talk about or hear someone talk just about Japanese music so this is super exciting. For suggestions I have, either SID or Frederic. Would also like to hear your opinion on Pornograffitti’s discography for sure. Their newest album had some good tracks, but definitely wouldn’t call it my favorite. Much better than FLOW’s new album though if we’re talking about new music compared to older music of an artist.
Please let it be a series. I have similar tastes in music so it was a pleasure to listen to this. I know of your love of Asian Kung-fu Generation, please share it with everyone, they need to listen to them
Great video, Joey! I love Maximum the Hormone and all their insane energy. 'Bu-ikikaesu' would be my pick for #1 since that was the album that got me into the band. As far as other band spotlights go, have you heard of 'Youkai Heavy Metal Band', Onmyouza? They've been around since the end of the 90s and their sound evolved from classic metal like Iron Maiden or Judas Priest to a more sort of symphonic/powerish metal in their more recent albums. All of their songs are full of references to Japanese lore or mythology and are really interesting to dissect. I think they started to get some mainstream attention when their song, 'Kouga Ninpouchou' was used for the anime Basilisk. My favorite album is 'Kishi Bojin' which is an entire concept album based around the Buddhist goddess Hariti.
I’m soo happy you talked about this band! I’ve been listening to them for years ever since I heard the opening for Death Note. I would have to say ‘Yoshu Fukushu’ is my favorite song from them but honestly all there songs are just amazing.
Hey, thank you very much. I listened to Bu-ikikaesu a lot back in the day, and basically every single song slaps so fucking much. Just you mentioning ChuChu Lovely MuniMuni MuraMura PurinPurin Boron Nururu ReroRero instantly got the song stuck in my head again. But I've always been too afraid to listen to anything else by them, that this would be their absolute peak and everything else could only be mediocre in comparison. You really made me want to check out all their other stuff and I can't thank you enough.
I need to look more into this band, obviously I know they're mainly known for Death Note and Chainsaw Man but now I have a lot of great recommendations so thanks Joey. Also, one other band I would love to see you cover next is X Japan, they were the first Japanese band I checked out and being a rock/metal fan as well a guitar player I instantly fell in love with them. Art of Life, Kurenai, Endless Rain (which I actually learned for one of my guitar masterclasses in college during my second year, such a fucking beautiful song and probably my favourite), I.V., Week End and Rusty Nail are absolute fucking bangers and I highly recommend anyone who's a fan of hard rock and heavy metal (specifically power metal) to check them out because their music goes hard and it's fantastic
@@b.l.n.t. Definitely, I remember Art of Life was the first song I came across from them and being absolutely blown away by myself the level of musicianship between those guys. That and the fact the song is like half an hour long lol
I’d completely forget about them. A student introduced me to them back in ‘04 and I’ve got a couple of those early albums somewhere at home. I didn’t realise that it’s been ten years since their last album.
Maximum the hormone has been my favorite JP band since 2003. As a westerner it's been a hard time trying to get people to listen to them and before 2010 hard to get their music legally as a minor. In relation to the video, Bu-ikikaesu and Rock-impo Goroshi are definitely my favorite albums. Also, I've really enjoyed the singles they've been releasing in the meantime. VAP and MtH2 are amazing.
I just saw them live last year in yokohama after ive missed them on their europe tour due to covid. MTH has been my absolute favorite japanese band sind my high school years and it was the show of my life. Not sure why, but "Kuso Breakin Nou Breakin Lilly" is my favorite song. Something about that ska and hardcore mix just gets me 😊
Maximum The Hormone, Chevelle, Mastodon, and Tool were by far the biggest influences on my development in middle school. I can't even begin to tell you have many times I listened to MtH's Shimi on the bus home, and again today for the first time in a while. Thanks for the album breakdowns, Joey, these guys deserve it. I'll look forward to some lynch., Gojira, and Amon Amarth at some point.
I only follow 3 Japanese bands and Maximum the Hormone is my favorite one. It's one of the most underrated metal bands ever that delivers headbanger after headbanger.
Thank you for talking about Maximum the Hormone! They have some AMAZING MUSIC and listening to them gets me PUMPED! I would love to hear your opinion about songs from X-Japan. It is one of my favorite J-rock bands and they got me into Japanese rock/metal.
I remember hearing this band on a channel IMF many years ago. They played metal from different bands across the world and it helped solidify my childhood as a metalhead.
I found this band in the early 2000s around the same time I watched death note Fell in love with this band and I would never go back my favorite japanese band of all time
I just discover Maximum The Hormone literally like 3 hours ago and listen to Yoshu Fukushu and was blown away and so happy to see the guy I get manga recommendations from has made this list
MTH were meant to come to Australia in 2010 but had to pull out for some reason. I've been waiting to see them since and finally have tickets to see them in Tokyo in 2 weeks 🤟
Phenomenal video, one of my favorite band, i'm glad you put them in because this is one band that should be much more well known in the world, and as for suggestions you should listen or just give it a try to Wagakki band and WANIMA.
I'm actually trying to listen to them more, so I appreciate the list! Definitely gonna check out Rokkinpo Goroshi then! And I would like to hear your opinion on Ziyoou Vachi (女王蜂)! They're my absolute favorite band and their style had varied a lot through the years, I'm sure you'll have some opinions about them (specially in their early era, when they self-described as a "fashion-punk" band!)
Bu-ikikaesu!! & Yoshu Fukushu is probably my favorite MAXIMUM THE HORMONE album, look i love all their album and i've been listening to them since i've heard Tsume Tsume Tsume from Yoshu Fukushu album, now i know all of their song and now MAXIMUM THE HORMONE is my all time favorite J-Metal band.
saw them in London last year, was legit one of the best gigs ive ever been to (almost passed out from the insanely high temperature but still) edit: they played rock n roll chainsaw and it was so much fun
This is actually my favorite band, if anyone else cares they actually uploaded Buiikikaesu, Korekara no Menkata Cottelee no Hanashi wo Shiyou, Kusoban, Yoshu Fukushu, Mimikajiru Shinnuchi and Rokkinpo Goroshi to TH-cam very recently. Although oddly Maximum the Hormone isn't on Spotify in Japan (probably to push CD sales?), it's on Apple Music. Finding their original music movies that aren't react videos is practically impossible though. My fav is buiikikaesu by miles (bikini sports ponchin is my fav) but I tend to cycle through their albums/singles a lot.
Can't believe Joey predicted the newest chainsaw man chapter
yo shit
Fr!!
Well good news is I don’t think Chu Chu Lovely Muni Muni Mura Mura is gonna be underrated/appreciated anymore thanks to the latest Chainsaw Man chapter 😂
MTH released all of their songs from the album on their channel and I believe Chu Chu is now the most viewed song off the album.
If you know what the song is about, knowing the lead singer, drummer are brother and sister, and understanding onomodopia, it makes it quite interesting lol
I have loved this band for years. I found them through Death Note, and was immediately a fan. IMO, everything from Rokkinpo Goroshi onwards is amazingly creative, original, and heavy. At least enough to keep me, a lifelong metalhead, interested. If insane genre-bending is your vibe, no one is better.
same here found them through Death Note. They slap.
think a lot of us in the west at least found them through Death Note back in the day.
I'm amongst the very few that found them through AirMaster. However I do start liking them more during Death Note anime era.
Maximum the Hormone is one of my favorites from Japan! Cool to see them being mentioned on a bigger channel, I think we have reacted to almost all their songs.
The band that started it all in the channel!
For Chainsawman fans here is when he says the title of the song that played in that chapter 16:02 lol
Maximum The Hormone is that one band that you made with the boys while drunk in highschool but without them disbanding
Dir En Grey needs to be talked about. Soshaku is freaking incredible. Yousei Teikoku is my favorite band, they’ve created some of the most ethereal songs I’ve ever listened to, Gekkakyousou and Torikago. Not to mention their masterpieces like 天鵞絨パピリオ and Astral Dogma. Denkare is also incredible being Yousei Teikoku’s sister band. My favorite songs from them are probably E.E.L.S. and The Woman.
Second Dir en Grey!!
Especially with the amount of albums they continued to produce.
I love Dir en grey, i think they're the metal band i come back to the most! Although I don't think joey knows them quite as well as MTH in order to fill up a Video....yet
Yeah Dir en Grey are consistently good.
Kyo is a GOAT in singing. My Favorite band overall however is galneryus (Japanese Power and neoclassical metal band with prog and symphonic Elements)
Dir En Grey was popular in America even when i was growing up and was listening to metal which is wild to think im 32 and listened to them as a kid when i really didnt listen to Japanese music til a little older ahha
I only know a few of their songs, and while I like all those I've heard, Yoshu Fukushu is, imo, an absolute underrated masterpiece.

The best songs are those where the music tells the same story when you remove the lyrics, and they nailed it for Yoshu Fukushu.
The fact they're now in chainsaw man is so timely
They were already in the chainsaw man anime when he made the video
They probably meant the manga
"What's up People?" is up there for me. I haven't even seen Death Note lol. I'm glad Joey is making content like this I love music.
Death note aside what's up people is a fucking banger one of only 3 songs I actually gotta turn down cause it bangs too hard
@@AngelLoezanah gotta turn it up to max on that song till the speakers are about to blow up. 😂
Came back to this video after seeing ChuChu lovely in Chainsaw man chapter 137
Joey is the Anthony Fantano of anime
Nah Joey is way better
Maximum the hormone is the Death Grips of Joey
Joethony fantanime here
@@saladsauce5932real
@@shelfnoodles Ngl, Joey has some really shit music takes as well lmao.
Really love how now ChuuChuu Lovely MuniMuni MuraMura just got referenced in the chainsaw man manga
for the chainsawman peeps whos here for chapter 137, maximum the hormone also made the ending song for episode 3
Been listening to them since 2009 when I was in Japan. The songs Louisiana Bob and shimi were my theme songs while I was there lmao. Bu-ikikaesu is just one of the best metal albums of all time imo
Here after reading CSM new chapter, checking this band it's kinda interesting
16:04 well well well
Love this band so much and love that you're a fan and pushing their name out to Western audiences!
Who else here after reading chainsaw man chapter 137 💀
My favorite song of them is definitely Buikikaesu!, i love their female singer's voice so much and it just makes the tune so much better.
Additionally the riff is unique and catchy which makes me love it even more.

This is the best band in Japan and has been for a very long time. I hugged the bassist in 2011, I have been rad ever since.

Still waiting for them to release the full songs for Chainsaw Man ED 3 and Shuumatsu No Valkyrie Op. It is dumb af they they just don’t release them.
Most likely they didnt even plan to make a full song out of it. Keep in mind MTH is notorious in trolling their fans lol
Came here after chainsaw man chapter 137
Went down the rabbit hole of Japanese metal (my bad if this is the wrong gemre) bands recently and went through a lot of Boris' and Maximum the Hormones discography.
Been really really loving both
Boris is magnificent-

Huh? Dude... do you know something? 🤨
Chapter 137...
I love their stuff. G'Old-En-Guy which came out 2 years ago proves they still are masters of surprises
Would love to see this done for Dir en grey. Uroboros definitely made a splash in the metal fandom when it came out but they have so much good stuff, would love to hear your takes.
agreed!
Got to see MTH live in NYC during their last US tour. Such a great show. They even made headlines that week. Can't wait to catch them the next time they hit the states. 'Hungry Pride' is gonna go hard in the pits.

I’d completely forget about them. A student introduced me to them back in ‘04 and I’ve got a couple of those early albums somewhere at home. I didn’t realise that it’s been ten years since their last album.
Maximum the hormone has been my favorite JP band since 2003. As a westerner it's been a hard time trying to get people to listen to them and before 2010 hard to get their music legally as a minor.
In relation to the video, Bu-ikikaesu and Rock-impo Goroshi are definitely my favorite albums. Also, I've really enjoyed the singles they've been releasing in the meantime. VAP and MtH2 are amazing.
How did you discover them back in 2003?
@@robertomorales10994 Limewire and forums.
I just saw them live last year in yokohama after ive missed them on their europe tour due to covid. MTH has been my absolute favorite japanese band sind my high school years and it was the show of my life. Not sure why, but "Kuso Breakin Nou Breakin Lilly" is my favorite song. Something about that ska and hardcore mix just gets me 😊
Let's goooooo, I waited so long for this video, and I didn't even know I needed it.
Yoshu Fukushu is still one of the heaviest songs I've ever heard.
Buikikaesu hands down, that songs is basically my childhood/teen years, I love it so much!
Have loved these guys for years. Really wish their TH-cam vlogs had English subs
Maximum The Hormone, Chevelle, Mastodon, and Tool were by far the biggest influences on my development in middle school. I can't even begin to tell you have many times I listened to MtH's Shimi on the bus home, and again today for the first time in a while. Thanks for the album breakdowns, Joey, these guys deserve it. I'll look forward to some lynch., Gojira, and Amon Amarth at some point.
Can you make another for SiM , Survive Said The Prophet , Fear and Loathing in Las vegas or Coldrain?
I only follow 3 Japanese bands and Maximum the Hormone is my favorite one. It's one of the most underrated metal bands ever that delivers headbanger after headbanger.
Joe the Music Man 🤘
Thank you for talking about Maximum the Hormone! They have some AMAZING MUSIC and listening to them gets me PUMPED! I would love to hear your opinion about songs from X-Japan. It is one of my favorite J-rock bands and they got me into Japanese rock/metal.
So happy to see someone finally mentioning Chu Chu Lovely! That one's my absolute favorite!
I remember hearing this band on a channel IMF many years ago. They played metal from different bands across the world and it helped solidify my childhood as a metalhead.
Saw them live in London last summer. Probably the craziest gig I've ever been to - if you get the chance don't miss them live!
joey i love listening to you talk about music, you seriously should do this more often!
like seriously review more music
Massive W, joey talking about music!
Finally a new video from my favorite TH-camr, The Music Man!
Im a fan of this band since 2009❤ they always had potential 😊
I found this band in the early 2000s around the same time I watched death note Fell in love with this band and I would never go back my favorite japanese band of all time
this is a really great idea for bringing Japanese music sphere more outside, and I am all up for getting my spotify list longer
Great video idea Joey! Keep em coming!!!
Ive hold on for far too long to check these guys out. I got some homework to do tonite. Good job on your video Joey!!
LOVE IT, when you talk about music. It gives me more stuff to listen to so I can expand my musical horizons
I just discover Maximum The Hormone literally like 3 hours ago and listen to Yoshu Fukushu and was blown away and so happy to see the guy I get manga recommendations from has made this list
137
MTH were meant to come to Australia in 2010 but had to pull out for some reason. I've been waiting to see them since and finally have tickets to see them in Tokyo in 2 weeks 🤟
I'm so excited for this series ^^
Phenomenal video, one of my favorite band, i'm glad you put them in because this is one band that should be much more well known in the world, and as for suggestions you should listen or just give it a try to Wagakki band and WANIMA.
I'm actually trying to listen to them more, so I appreciate the list! Definitely gonna check out Rokkinpo Goroshi then! And I would like to hear your opinion on Ziyoou Vachi (女王蜂)! They're my absolute favorite band and their style had varied a lot through the years, I'm sure you'll have some opinions about them (specially in their early era, when they self-described as a "fashion-punk" band!)
I love these series already, looking forward to the next band youre gonna introduce us
perhaps do the pillows or tricot next ?
I love this band! I'd love to see you tackle Ningen Isu (a Japanese band that doesn't get nearly enough love abroad, imho)
Interestingly enough, Rolling1000tOON WAS used in an anime, namely the ending of a show called Air Master.
Good idea, can't wait to see what artists will get included here...
Bu-ikikaesu!! & Yoshu Fukushu is probably my favorite MAXIMUM THE HORMONE album, look i love all their album and i've been listening to them since i've heard Tsume Tsume Tsume from Yoshu Fukushu album, now i know all of their song and now MAXIMUM THE HORMONE is my all time favorite J-Metal band.
HELL YES. Thank you Joey!
I hope you cover Gargoyle and 88kyaso Junrei as well.
saw them in London last year, was legit one of the best gigs ive ever been to (almost passed out from the insanely high temperature but still)
edit: they played rock n roll chainsaw and it was so much fun
Any chance of a 88Kasyo Junrei ( 八十八ヶ所巡礼) vid?
Excellent Japanese art rock band with fantastic videos!
Oh god! Thank you for starting this!
Very keen on this series! A video on Crystal Lake would be hype
I am obsessed with G’old~en~guy. I bought their one Blu-ray just so I could see them play it live.
This is actually my favorite band, if anyone else cares they actually uploaded Buiikikaesu, Korekara no Menkata Cottelee no Hanashi wo Shiyou, Kusoban, Yoshu Fukushu, Mimikajiru Shinnuchi and Rokkinpo Goroshi to TH-cam very recently. Although oddly Maximum the Hormone isn't on Spotify in Japan (probably to push CD sales?), it's on Apple Music. Finding their original music movies that aren't react videos is practically impossible though.
My fav is buiikikaesu by miles (bikini sports ponchin is my fav) but I tend to cycle through their albums/singles a lot.
