This was the first japanese rock band I listened to more than 15 years ago. I almost had forgotten about them when I got back to listening to japanese music a few years ago. They had such a unique touch on the whole Nu Metal thing, that still sounds fresh, unilke so many other bands of that genre.
glad you like them. they are so awesome, crazy in a positive way, mega creative. watch their video "alien", if you haven´t already and then rethink the idea of joining their moshpit. and thank you for your passionate reaction to this very special band, GG (if you ever go back to our five ladies in the white dresses, "raise some hell" tokyo 2020 would be nice.
Dang, I have no idea how long it is since the last time I listened and watched Maximum The Hormone. It's so refreshing like listening for the first time again hahaha. Thanks for the reaction GG. This reaction reminds me of how fun this band is. So crazy and chaotic, yet it's so great. Cheers!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
:) you're right, this is a very straight forward song for this band but it just kicks so much ass :) I can only suggest to check out the live footage that is available from them from Metrock festival (it's not on youtube though but a different site). SO awesome! One of the most energetic live bands ever!
A lot of their more aggressive sounding songs are either pretty silly or about food, while their more catchy songs are often pretty obscene (they also have serious songs of course). This song was used for a cup noodle commercial, so you have the right idea what it's about 😉. As far as I know they've only played in Europe in 2008 and 2011 and the last time they played abroad was in south America in 2017. So the chances aren't good. They mostly tour Japan and even there it's really hard to get tickets.
@@akaalexanderking Btw, I just checked and they were scheduled to perform at HELLFEST in France this year, which unfortunately was postponed. Don't know if they will be there in 2022.
Yeah, finally! Of all the reactions to this song I have seen, you are the 1st and only one who have commented on this System Of A Down vibe... At last ONE !!! xDDD
Hungry Pride is a song about gluttony and ambition. Maximum the Hormone has an endorsement deal with Nissin Cup Noodles. They appeared in TV commercials for the product.
i stumbled onto them from the death note series. after looking up who made this awesome opening song, i was instantly hooked. "what's up people" is so badass
if im not mistaken system of a down released their first album in like 1998 or 99, and i think maximum the hormone was created at the same time though they were not in their current form until like 2002 so maybe SoaD had influence on them very possible but at the same time they might have been breaking the same vein at the same time too. I dont know if I am right in any way though as i have no fact to base this on just supposition.
Hey bro, I think you never heard "Lovebites - Empty Daydream(live version)." It's beautiful medium tempo song by Lovebites. Btw great reaction video \m/
Just as a warning, Maximum the Hormone used to be problematic for reaction channels, leading to copyright strikes, sometimes long (even years) after the video was posted. I'm not sure if this is still the case, but I know there were some channels that were closed down due to those strikes back in the days (three strikes means the channel is shut down).
Would be interesting to know if the copyright strikes on MTH videos were for all their videos or just for those that were made after they got signed by Warner Music, because I could totally see the WB accountants wreaking havoc on TH-cam, not so much the small indie label they were on earlier.
@@VegetaRabbit Hard to judge, I agree. The WINNY shtick was very tongue-in-cheek (it's virtually like a Western band releasing an anti-Napster song right now, more than a decade after that stopped being relevant), so we don't know their actual stance on copyright matters. I do think the band members will be quite aware of TH-cam being the reason for all those overseas merch sales, though, so there's that.
i wouuld dare say they are an evolved unique band with rootinfluences by SOAD but their own flavor makes it for me. I love SOAD but i think here in the west we only know them as a reference
Great reaction GG! BAND-MAID and MTH are my favorite japanese bands!! Please try to check my favorite songs by them: "Bu-ikikaesu", "Koi no Mega Lover", "Bikini Sports Ponchin" from the "Bu-ikikaesu" album (2007) "Yoshū Fukushū", "Utsukushiki Hitobito no Uta", "Banjo Scandal Dance", "Beauty Killosseum", "Maximum the Hormone" from the "Yoshū Fukushū" album (2013) And "G'old~en~Guy" from the "Korekara no Mentaka Cottelee no Hanashi wo Shiyou" EP (2018) (You already reacted to the song "maximum the hormone II" from this EP). A lot of MTH videos were removed from TH-cam but I have the link to find them if you're interested. But I'm not sure about the copyright thing, because Warner Music Japan is blocking a lot. Thank you 🤘🏻
@@akaalexanderking here is a link for all their MVs and the live dvd shows: th-cam.com/channels/f0z3lgsAIo3S-cY08h8eig.htmlplaylists It's a treasure for any MTH fans
I think it is related to one of the members having to loose weight for health reasons, then it is also a totally relatable theme for those of us who enjoy food and sweets a bit more than what is healthy for us. I think the metal genre is the right place to express the feeling of craving for food and the struggle to fight the craving, just like BMs Gimme Chocolate.
MTH 🤟 Actually the last part, there's a full length video for that. You'll see some famous drummers and bassist auditioning on that video, you'll see Tamu Murata(Nemophila), Nyango Star(CHARAMEL) and Mana Fukuda(TH-camr) in their, even the MTH bassist brother wearing Spider-man suit did appeared. It was a funny video even I don't understand the language 😁🤘
I've always preferred to say that System of a down is the American version of Maximum the hormone *=^.^=* they are both the almost same era (mid/late 90's) I also heard that Nao (the drummer) is a bit pissed off when everyone said "oh ! it sound like SoaD !". MTH is the upper version of SoaD in my opinion.
You can skip the lyrics part of this band because even a Japanese don't know what they're singing most of the time. LOL But it doesn't mean the lyrics are meaningless, just too hard for a foreigner to understand by direct translation. Love this band because they are heavy but pop in the same time (don't even know that make sense).
even though i dont understand the words, i listen to this song alot. My favorite song from MTH. I can only assume the meaning ahs to do with corporations being aggresive and hungry to keep making money? I'm getting this idea from the people in the mosh pit being in business suites and wearing ties and the predators killing and eathing their prey. If anyone understands the words, please let me know if i am even close.
This band is one of a kind.
Truly is 🤘🏻

Lovebites fit into the week's theme, that's happening veeery soon Owl ;)
@@akaalexanderking RAISE! SOME! HELL! ;)
Maximum the hormone will be at Hellfest concert in France. June 20th.
This gives me hope 😍
They festival was cancelled officially some months ago; so, we'll have to wait until next year, I think ...
Yes! MTH🤘🏻
😍🤘🏻
literally my favorite song by them
Phenomenal tune 🤘🏻
Normally i wouldnt like this kind of stuff, but these guys are so unique and talented. Kick ass band
Irresistibile force 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I love this band so much.
They are phenomenal 🤘🏻

Absolutely irresistible band, welcome back to the madness 😁
If you are interested they are coming to France in 2022 for the Hellfest. Might be a long travel but, hey you said you wanted to go to their show :p

They have all the characteristics of a proper cult band, one those for that niche music listeners will still talk about in 100 years time

At least it gives me hope for a small European tour? Let's see 🤘🏻

Will I get a badge of honor? 😂 Glad you enjoyed Bruno :)
awesome🔥🔥🔥🤘😄
What a song 😍
nemophila -《zetsubou billy》cover please! Very great cover song, original by maximum the hormone🔥🔥🔥🙏
Nice! Added to the list 😁
@@akaalexanderking thanks
@@akaalexanderking I second this cover 🤟

I wish I could see them pop up on the telly here in Ireland as well ahahaha, that'd be hilarious

They are awesome and highly addictive 🤘🏻
OMG Its truly imazing....Glad you enjoy it,they re awesome
They're fantastic, can't wait to listen to EVERYTHING they've ever recorded ahahaha

I really wouldn't be surprised, both fantastic bands anyways 😁
MTH is every mood at once. AIC t-shirt for the win!
They should do a song together. Maximum Alice In The Hormone Chains
Hey bro, I think you never heard "Lovebites - Empty Daydream(live version)." It's beautiful medium tempo song by Lovebites.
Btw great reaction video \m/
Yep, it's on the list. Lovebites coming back to the channel soon ;)
You deserve more subs. Keep doing what you doing, you'll get there, I'm pretty sure. :3
Thanks, appreciate that 😁 as long as people find these helpful and insightful, I'm sure good things will come for the channel

Thanks for letting me know, I'll probably switch to personal enjoyment of their records now anyway 'cause I just can't resist 😂
Yeah, that's a perfect way to describe it. It's random and might explode at anytime. I hope they'll find a better solution for this in the future

Definitely sounds more like a label like behavior

Great reaction. Not my music. Don’t think i listen to it again. But, great musicians. What do they have with food? Thank you for this reaction.

Sorry, not sure what that means 😅
this is the most "normal" MTG song too.. get down
Gotta love these guys
I don’t understand the appeal.
Just a bunch of unappealing noise to me.
You're entitled to your opinion. For me this is pure energy and bliss 😁
