I remember hearing this for the first time. I already knew Maximum the Hormone, knew that they mixed things up and were full of surprises. I liked that about them. But that switch is absolutely outrageous. You can't do that! They just did. Yep! That happened.
excellent reaction, MTH are fantastic and brilliant , winny was the Japanese napster , this vido in a nutshell shows the evolution of a garage band into a successful band that ends up complaining about people downloading their music for free 😊
The ultimate musical troll band. Best punk-metal band there is. Always weird, always brutal. This is the band that inspired Hanabie, and Nao, the drummer, is an idol of sorts for Tamu from Nemphila and Akane from BandMaid
Yes! Troll me until I'm green! I haven't seen the ties to the other bands summarized quite so succinctly before. There's a fun video of Tamu trolling them back by "auditioning" for their franchise band. There is also an interview with Akane on video who says she got the idea women could play drums with aggressive style because she saw Nao doing it. Supposedly Hanabie got started as a MTH cover band (although I'm only repeating what I've read in the comments here).
MAXIMUM THE HORMONE continues to blow people's minds. Winny was a file sharing program in Japan like Napster and no one uses it anymore, and that's the joke. At the beginning of the vid they are like an underground band. As the video progresses their music get more and more processed. At the end they are a corporate band out of touch complaining about a file sharing program no one uses anymore. And that's the joke. Here's a translation of what they are saying at the end of the video someone put down from when this was on r/Music vocalist: "WE WILL NEVER FORGIVE WINNY. ANYTHING BUT WINNY." drummer: "Dai-chan, no one uses Winny anymore. Plus there are plenty of other things that people should stop doing, so stop yelling so much. And the kids already all left." vocalist: "No longer will I stand for uploado, anything but uploado..." drummer: "OK, I get it, but there's only one kid left, and it looks like she's going to start crying." vocalist: turns to kid "Yo, you agree with me, don't you?" drummer: "Uh no, that kid has no idea what you're talking about." Kid runs off vocalist: to kid offstage "You hate Winny too, don't you? Don't you?!" drummer: "Yo, no one uses Winny anymore!" vocalist: "But...uploado..." drummer: "You sound like your mom." vocalist: "What?!" "It's one thing to make fun of my but now you're going after my mom ....(trails off)
@@JasoDip no they don't, that's a part of the joke of the song! At the end when they're arguing in Japanese it's because the drummer is saying no one uses Winnie anymore, and that they're years too late 😂

I really think the next one should be Ningen Isu, these 3 guys are excellent and many people consider them the Black Sabbath of Japan, but of course with the sound engineering of these days. Here’s the link for their most recognized song, but there’s plenty more of great great songs. “ Heartless Scat” the name of the song by Ningen Isu th-cam.com/video/CbI79e5iZKs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=uSI4UiyvrervifRU
Maximum The Hormone are simply brilliant. Their songs are full of changes in tempo and often also changes in genre. You should definitely check out their music video for Yoshu Fukushu, a song about bullying in school. Hanabie, who was founded in middle school as an MTH cover band, has just as many tempo and genre changes in their songs. Most people start with We Love Sweets, but you can also choose an older (e.g. Envy) or newer (e.g. Otaku Lovely Densetsu) song if you want to do a reaction to Hanabie.
Here's another 70's punk, 80's hardcore guy. And you have about the same reaction I had when I heard this song about 2 years ago. The surprises are nonstop, but I love it.
First time I ever heard of maximum the hormone was in death note. They did two songs called " what's up people " and " Zetsubou Billy ". That stuff is intense
My take from these comments is that I finally understand why I like Hanabie and why it sounded so familiar lol As for recommendations, check out Space Combine. Maximum The Hormone uses their song "Marching Mint Flavors" whenever they enter and exit the stage and you can clearly hear they had influence on MTH. Basically old 90s Japanese punk
Dude... your face! heh heh... I've seen a few reactions to this... tune(?) and it's always fun. All I know about MTH is there is a video of Akane doing a drum cover of their song "Benjo Sandal Dance". It's a better song (for me) than "Alien" and of course the drums smoke! Check it out if you like drums. Thanks for the reaction!
I just did some research and Winny is a music pirating source. That ending was a conversation where the lead singers kept speaking out against pirating and the drummer kept telling them to prioritize more important things
Maximum the Hormone has been around for ages. Everyone will tell you to check out their songs from Death Note or Chainsaw Man and they're great. But listen to the ED of Air Master, "Rolling 1000toon." That song slaps SO HARD.
Love them. They do what they want & don't give a S. Check out Shimi, Hungry Pride and Koi No Sperma. Their Drummer (Nao) inspired bothTamu (Nemophila) & Akane (Band-Maid) that women could be drummers. Hanabie who are extremely popular, started out doing MTH covers.
Really liked your reaction - subscribed. If you want something heavy: Slaughter to Prevail - Demolisher. It’s like been hit by a ten ton metal hammer (their song Viking and Baba Yaga are also amazing Ps: and they’re Russian too
Cool reaction brotha!! In a way, Maximum The Hormone is the Japanese System of the Down, Ryo(Vocal/Guitar), Daisuke(harsh vocal), Sae(Bass) & Nao(Drums)“Stop whiny “ is the whole downloading from Napster. Try check, “Hungry Pride” or “What’s Up People”
MTH is great. Unique. Weird. Awesome. The more you listen, the more you appreciate them. BTW - Hanabie started as a high school MTH cover band. They are worth checking out.
MTH spawned a lot of these great Japanese Bands you are reacting too! Especially the female drummer Nao. They been around for a while and it’s disappointing they were not recognized in US. They have a great library of songs to react to…please continue reacting. They are a blast…they just do what MTH wants to do and will keep you guessing! 🤘Rock In Me
That is why I referred to MTH when you talked about NEMOPHILA's AMA-TE-RAS. They way the blend multiple genres and how they made it into one song with nice flows and fluent yet sometimes weird, but it works eventually. Just like AMA-TE-RAS which got the same vibes in term of mixing genres and make it sounds different yet so cool. Now you might be interested to check out 2 of MTH covers done by NEMOPHILA, Shimi and Zetsubo Billy... mind you not all bands can come up with good covers of MTH and probably you knew why (asides from 3 different singers they have) and NEMOPHILA did very well and looks effortless. 🤘🏻
Might be 5 months too late, but here's some info to put the song into perspective: MTH has always been a very controversial band, since they often sing about stuff that are very taboo in Japan. "Alien" is about the hypocrisy of Japanese music industry. How bands that start out with a raw sound and striking lyrics (the beginning of the video with them doing a gig in a warehouse with shoddy equipment) they sing about inequality, corrupt politicians, societal issues, environmental destruction, etc., and then suddenly they are in a produced CGI music video, where their sound and lyrics are tamed, to they can be sold to a wider audience, and by the end of the song they are on a kid's stage, with completely neutered sound and PG lyrics. Essentially the process of "selling out", MTH is sticking it to other bands who sold their souls and lost their identity for fame. The last part of the video, the whole "STOP WINNY UPLOAD!" thing is also a jab at other bands. Winny used to be a filesharing network much like Napster in the US, and had about the same effect. Also, much like Metallica, lots of Japanese bands openly spoke out against it and made several videos and messages to fans to stop using Winny and buy their music in the stores instead. MTH is lampooning those bands here, which makes it even funnier that Winny has been shut down for years at the time of this MV, which they even acknowledge at the end. The conversation at the end between Daisuke (singer) and Nao (drummer) goes something like this (I'm paraphrasing): - STOP USING WINNY! - Daisuke! Stop screaming at the kids! - They have to stop using Winny! - These kids don't even know what Winny is, it's been gone for years! We could be standing up against a lot of other things instead of this. Also, you look like your mother when you're angry! (Hence the photo of Daisuke's mom) A lot of MTH songs have some very deep and meaningful content that needs lots of context to those who are not familiar with MTH's history and Japanese culture, but it's well worth digging into. One of the other songs like this is Yoshu Fukushu, which is about how Ryo (guitarist/singer and also the brother of Nao) was bullied in school and how he learned to forgive his oppressors and dedicate his life to music.
@@JasoDip You certainly do :) For example, one of my personal favorite is "Yoshu Fukushu" is a really great song from MTH. Aside from being absolute fucking face-flaying metal - as with most MTH songs - it has deep meaning behind it. MTH never shied away from openly talking about taboo topics, and in Yoshu Fukushu they tell the story of how Ryo (guitarist/singer) was bullied in school and not even his sister could help him (who is actually Nao, the drummer). The monologue of Ryo after the opening part stuck with me ever since. He talks about how a kitchen scale's dial might only go up to a hundred grams, but if you put a large weight on it, the needle will just loop around and around and someone might mistakenly think it's a much lower number even when the weight is huge. It's the same with people and stress, they might not show it, but you can't tell just how many times "their dial has looped around" already. It's easy to misjudge just how much stress and anguish someone is under. (Hence the picture of him holding a kitchen scale and a knife.) The whole song is full of symbolism like this, of him being tortured by all this, then how he found music, the other band members and finally learned to forgive, but never forget. When they released this album, they actually created an entire manga about stories connected to the songs and included it with the album (hence the manga panels in the video, it's from that manga actually). MTH is a real hidden gem. On the surface level, they make incredible music, their signature being wildly mixing and mashing genres and time signature changes often several times in one song. You will never know what the next song will bring. With MTH you can only predict that they will unpredictable :D But if you dig deeper their lore and the MTH universe is incredibly deep. Unlike most bands who put up a front, MTH is very open with their trials and tribulations, all of their songs are full of story and meaning, much like Alien up here. "Let's talk about menkata kottlee" and "Hungry Pride" are about Ryo's battle with his weight, how he was suffering from being overweight his entire life, and when he finally got sick with gout, he actually changed his life, cut out all the unhealthy food and lost all the weight, which some fans took very harshly. A lot of overweight fans identified with fat Ryo and after he lost all the weight they took it as a slight, and some were even sending him angry fanmail telling him to gain the weight back. In the song at the megaphone part he is outright telling these fans to fuck off, "What, you want me to get sick again? To be fat, unhealthy? No! This is the new me, and if you don't like it you can fuck off!". Or there's VAP, a quirky punk-rock song, which is basically them saying goodbye to their old label VAP when they transferred to Warner Music. It's funny because it's actually Daisuke playing the drums in that song and Nao is singing. The reason is because Daisuke hurt his neck and had to get surgery, hence the neckbrace. They had to cancel a lot of live shows because of this, but they still wanted to give something to the fans, so they made that song and music video to basically tide the fans over until Daisuke gets better and they can do shows again. And yea, Daisuke can actually play the drums, although not as well as Nao. There are a *lot* more songs with really interesting, deep or funny backstories from MTH. I can only encourage you to look into them more, if for nothing else, their incredible music.
You need to check out their song Yoshu Fukushu. This band is a huge influence on JRock and Metal. Especially 8mportant to female drummers as several point to their drummer, Nao as an inspiration aka Akane from Band Maid and Tamu from Nemophila.
That's MTH for you. More WTF per minute than almost any other band. I'm told it isn't a lot less WTF even if you speak Japanese because they absolutely love to troll their audience, and a lot of the lyrics aren't comprehensible regardless. Give 'em a few more songs, and maybe try the MTH covers by Nemophila for some extra fun! Nemophila has done two of them.
this band is FIRE. This isnt the best introduction song but still great. :) Yoshu Fukushu/ Lets talk about menkata Cottelee/ Buki(something)/ Hungry pride are all amazing., And Koi no sperma. PS - Winnie was a website like Napster. Was kinda a poke at metallica. lol

It's the same with people and stress, they might not show it, but you can't tell just how many times "their dial has looped around" already. It's easy to misjudge just how much stress and anguish someone is under. (Hence the picture of him holding a kitchen scale and a knife.) The whole song is full of symbolism like this, of him being tortured by all this, then how he found music, the other band members and finally learned to forgive, but never forget.
When they released this album, they actually created an entire manga about stories connected to the songs and included it with the album (hence the manga panels in the video, it's from that manga actually). MTH is a real hidden gem. On the surface level, they make incredible music, their signature being wildly mixing and mashing genres and time signature changes often several times in one song. You will never know what the next song will bring. With MTH you can only predict that they will unpredictable :D But if you dig deeper their lore and the MTH universe is incredibly deep. Unlike most bands who put up a front, MTH is very open with their trials and tribulations, all of their songs are full of story and meaning, much like Alien up here. "Let's talk about menkata kottlee" and "Hungry Pride" are about Ryo's battle with his weight, how he was suffering from being overweight his entire life, and when he finally got sick with gout, he actually changed his life, cut out all the unhealthy food and lost all the weight, which some fans took very harshly. A lot of overweight fans identified with fat Ryo and after he lost all the weight they took it as a slight, and some were even sending him angry fanmail telling him to gain the weight back. In the song at the megaphone part he is outright telling these fans to fuck off, "What, you want me to get sick again? To be fat, unhealthy? No! This is the new me, and if you don't like it you can fuck off!".
Or there's VAP, a quirky punk-rock song, which is basically them saying goodbye to their old label VAP when they transferred to Warner Music. It's funny because it's actually Daisuke playing the drums in that song and Nao is singing. The reason is because Daisuke hurt his neck and had to get surgery, hence the neckbrace. They had to cancel a lot of live shows because of this, but they still wanted to give something to the fans, so they made that song and music video to basically tide the fans over until Daisuke gets better and they can do shows again. And yea, Daisuke can actually play the drums, although not as well as Nao.
There are a *lot* more songs with really interesting, deep or funny backstories from MTH. I can only encourage you to look into them more, if for nothing else, their incredible music.
Next ... maximum the hormone - utsukushiki ... is full energy riff
You need to check out their song Yoshu Fukushu. This band is a huge influence on JRock and Metal. Especially 8mportant to female drummers as several point to their drummer, Nao as an inspiration aka Akane from Band Maid and Tamu from Nemophila.
In the end it sounds like
Ruffy and Sanji from One Piece 😬😬
It just sounds like .. its not i know 😂😂
That's MTH for you. More WTF per minute than almost any other band. I'm told it isn't a lot less WTF even if you speak Japanese because they absolutely love to troll their audience, and a lot of the lyrics aren't comprehensible regardless. Give 'em a few more songs, and maybe try the MTH covers by Nemophila for some extra fun! Nemophila has done two of them.
🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘
this band is FIRE. This isnt the best introduction song but still great. :)
Yoshu Fukushu/ Lets talk about menkata Cottelee/ Buki(something)/ Hungry pride are all amazing.,

don't go down that rabbit hole, it gets weirder with every song. On a serious note, these guys are bangers and are better when performing live....
It was like Napster. So stop it.
Such a crap band.
