Akane, the drummer from Band-maid, said that Nao has been an inspiration for becoming a female drummer that can hit the drums as hard as a male one. I just think it's nice seeing people from older bands I love inspiring newer bands I love.
ChuChu Lovely MuniMuni MuraMura PrinPrin Boron Nururu ReroRero Lmao that was one of the best chapters in a while in my opinion (or atleast the funniest)
same story, i used to know their "what's up people" song from deathnote back then when i was in elementary school. then jump into pandemic era, when i start watching record of ragnarok intro my reaction was like "okay, some metal song for this kind of anime, pretty good...wait a sec, is this MTH?" lol. idk why i can notice if its their song by just hearing it, even tho i only know 1 of their song. then i start listening some of their albums till today, and i still don't know their lyrics
I love the fact that they are still being discovered today. I've been on the wagon since 07 and i can see all the new videos being made on them this year alone and I think it's fantastic. Everyone needs to know this band
they've only become more popular over the years, crazy huh! first time reaction videos of their bu-iikikaesu songs are still coming out while that album has been with me through a decade and a half lol
May be one of my favorite RUclips videos ever. Really surprised that this has under 2k views… As a 16 year old girl who is absolutely obsessed with this band, this helped me learn a lot more about them! ^_^ And I find it so hard to befriend other MTH fans, usually because they’re two times my age lol. Discovered them 10 months ago and is now never getting tired of their songs. And if a boy near my age ever tells me they like MTH too, that’s an instant crush lmao.😂 I love this band so much I’ve played a LOT of their songs on the piano by ear. Here are some songs I did (Mostly choruses or main tunes): Chu Chu Lovely Muni Muni Mura Mura Purin Purin Boron Nururu Rero Rero (most played, + full song memorized) Koi no Mega Lover Koi no Sweet Kusomeriken Utsukushikihitobitonouta Koino Kinako Watashini Kudasai Yoshu Fukushu Chu Ni The Beam Koino Sperm Maximum the 21 Seiki Heisei Strawberry Vibe Kawakita Saurin Shiina de Bus Nigireeeeee RRERERERERE MAMAMAMAMA Mr Boogie TumblingMan Rock n Roll Chainsaw Buikakkesu Kamigami Kill all the 394 Purple Fire Tail FORCE My Girl More ahead ..! I really hope one day I get to play these in front of someone who is also as obsessed with the band as I am..!
I know how it feels, im 18 and its really hard to find people my age that enjoy this band too 😂 prolly cause it became more popular when death note came out around 2006. I was just 1yo though
@@alonedownthere47 actually a ton of my friends compare me to asa , and i do have a shit ton of similarities as her 🥲, and thank you - I still practice daily to improve
Great video. I saw Maximum the Hormone live in concert at Viva La Rock, Saitama in 2022. Man, that was a fun time. They were so into sharing their music with the fans and gave off so much unbelievable energy while on stage. There was much headbanging to be had that day!
2:20 the reason their site has Daisuke's blood type listed is because the japanese have this whole belief that one's blood type is an indicator of their personality. kinda like astrological signs
I just found MTH a month ago. I didn't like the pop transitions at first. Now I like it all. They are amazing at genre mixing. And thanks for this video
They had a podcast during the pandemic too!! I found it on their RUclips page, not sure if it’s still up. It’s in Japanese mostly and the cc COULD NOT KEEP UP but basically they would review fan art and put how it made them feel on the “wheel of emotion” it’s precious and definitely made me feel better when I couldn’t go to shows.
Daisuke's guttural voice is the reason why i change my point of view on metal, and thats why i explore more genre about Grindcore and death (exept black)
I been a fan of them since death note. major Dir En Grey fan but its refreshing to hear people talk about other bands much like Dir en Grey they dont settle for one genre. suscribed.
Dang, this is your first video? Don't stop... was entertaining and informative, enjoyed the humorous editing. A co-worker at my last job mention Maximum the Hormone, but I didnt end up checking them out. Going to listen to em on the way way to work today after watching your video.
Great freekin' video man, been a fan of them since 2019 and my dad seems to be getting into them as well, hope to see more soon! Oh and I believe you left out the fact that Marty Friedman (Megadeth guitarist) met them once and made a cover of Tsume Tsume Tsume, just putting out there, cuz c'mon its Marty freekin' friedman
yeah marty friedman and ryo were actually on the cover of a magazine together! i love his cover too, how it goes into Louisiana Bob at the end is so sick
Great Video! MTH is my favorit Punk Band of all time. I saw them live last year in Köln (Germany), it was the best live show I ever went to. they sound live even better! I would say the hardest part of beeing a mth fan in the west is, getting official merch. the shop is in japanese and if you find a translation they dont ship to europe. and all the other stuff on the internet is either cheap knock-off merch or way to overpriced. that's why the merch on the concert was already sold out even before the show started. ...I sadly didn't get one, and they even had special shirts only for germany that you couldn't get online. :( but I hope it doesn't take another 11 years until they tour here again.
Thank you! Seeing them live is definitely something I want to do, but they haven't been to the US in 15 years or so and they haven't announced any upcoming dates for the US. Yes, their merch is hard to get- they don't ship internationally and the next best thing is ebay. I'm wearing a cheap knock-off shirt in this video lol. I'm hoping for one more album and a world tour before they retire :)
das konzert war hammer !!! ich hab auch nichts bekommen... anscheinend soll es nen offiziellen lieferer nach europa geben aber ich hab den auf der seite nicht gefunden.
Thank you so much for this video! Im a 日系四世 from Brazil and I got to know this band thru Death Note like everybody else... 2 years ago I started to study Japanese because of my ancestry, anime, and this band (and people always used to tell me that I looked like a little japanese kid when I was growing up, and I never felt that like an insult, it just made me more curious about this country that is in the other side of the world)! I also always enjoyed rock music thru my life, so when I found out about マキシマム ザ ホルモン, this band became veryyy special to me! Thanks again for the video! I want to go in their show someday.
I remember somehow ending up seeing Koi No Mega Lover first , I never really watched Death Note, my first language is french so IDK if it sounds the same for others but it sounded like they were screaming "BAGEL! BAGEL! " in the chorus, instant like. From there I would type their name on youtube from time to time and Yoshu Fokushu and the recent stuff with the funky basslines are my favorite
totally mind-blowed to discover that the mimikajiru i'm used to listen is a re-recording, good vid edit: FINALLY somebody mentioning how GOOD is LOUISIANA BOB
You are a saint! I have been loving this band since 2014 but as someone who doesn't speak Japanese it's great to finally have a timeline of this band's history, discography, and videography.
Discovered them properly a year or so ago and they have instantly became my regular listen, might even my call them my favorite band overall! I am quite thankful for piracy and dedicated fans who make their discography available worldwide since, without that, many hits would never reach outside Japan, streaming services are quite sparse! Also, just to mention, reportedly, their song F, that is, Toriyama seeing that song performed live is that gave him the idea to bring Frieza back and make that whole movie
..thanks for this very informative vid about MTH. I've been a fan of them for almost 20 yrs. it's also hard being fan from Philippines bcoz they are not really well-known here. i think I was the only one listening to their music during high school coz everyone already into kpop during that time because of 2ne1. they thought I was weird yet they didn't know that MTH brought me to another dimension once I put on my headphones.. 😊🖤
mabuting buhay!! MTH creates a whole new world for me too and i just wish more people could enjoy them. imagine how my friends felt when i told them i made a whole video about them haha. i would imagine that they are more popular in the phillippines
I feel the same way! watching death note in 7th grade showed me mth and mth showed me more japanese rock, punk, metal etc. Absolutely loved the video!!
Outing yourself as a western fan for your first video is fucking awesome. I learned more about a really cool band I found because of Death Note! Thanks for sharing with us
Thanks for making this video man. I've know this band since the Death Note days but just recently started listening to more of their music and I'm completely in love :)
@@bhristianbortes You did great! I consider myself a hardcore fan, and I still learned some stuff that I didn't know! For example I had no idea you could order the demo tape for free on their website back in the days...I paid so much to get a couple of copies from Japan :(
i’m so happy to finally see people talking about maximum the hormone!! they’re such a good band and i’m so happy to have finally found a video like this about them. amazing first video!! 😆🫶
I feel you dude. I'm from Indonesia and I can say I've listened to them since Rolling 1000ton was one of the songs in the guitar arcade game (forgot what it's called). Not many people know MTH in Indonesia, and their songs are hidden gems!! There's also zero chance of them performing in Indonesia as well I think, meanwhile they played in Ozzfest in the US right? Anyways, nice video you've posted. Keep up the good work researching them!!
Excellent Concise retrospective! also good news the have a new song coming out the end of this month and from what I can tell the fans have to guess the song title, then they'll properly release that
Found them back when death note was on tv. Been a fan ever since. I remember going to mp3 sites and dowmloading their songs but sometimes it wouldn't even be the whole song
12:37 that song wasn't old footage of them playing on a field, I think if I remember correctly that was a troll song they made, basically after Nao got pregnant and Daisuke doing surgery and they went in hiatus many fans thought that the band will change and they won't stay as crazy as they were and so they just went along with it and in the music video they released it starts with this "family friendly" song of them looking liking all nice and wise and then it cuts to Ryo vomiting on the screen before the song "maximum the hormone" starts
I remember a while ago I watched a video complication of chainsaw man's endings, I was so enamoured with the screaming of one ending (it reminded me of overlords op) and wanted to check it out but procrastination hits hard right? My joyous shock when I hear this band did a track and it was the same, thank you for this informative video on them!!
So I’m on IG today, scrolling, as you do, and came across a clip of this band, instantly liked what I heard and have spent the rest of the afternoon watching videos of their music, this video and others about them. They kinda remind me of SOAD sorta, but only because both band sound like no one else. I’ve already downloaded a what music was available on iTunes, I hope they come to the states so I can see them live someday
Thank you for making this video. I have been listening to Zetsubou Billy since it came out. But other then that I actually didn’t know much about them.
U.K. fan here since 2013. I feel you about being a foreign fan. Keep your eyes peeled for when they tour. The wife and I were lucky to see them in London last year. They also did VIP meet and greets, which would be impossible in Japan. They had warnings on the tickets stating if you are Japanese and live in Japan you cannot attend VIP… crazy.
Thanks for getting out to English peeps, they are fucking amazing. I've been listening since I heard death notes second opening, and my god they're the single greatest metal/punk band ever imo
love this!! Cool to see someone else just as excited about them haha. I love bands that can't be defined or pushed into one genre. Enter Shikari are another of my favorites for the same reason.
I learned about these guys from a balkan, orphan refugee who was brought to the Utah in the mid 90s. She was this really cute scene girl in my computer tech class in middle school. She was all scene and edgy and I was a sheltered mormon boy. I wonder where she is now lol
Great video and I appreciate the passion and love put into it! It's a good intro for those not familiar with the band. But, I have to be a pedantic mf and give some small corrections: - "Hou' is considered an EP or a mini-album. no biggie - 6:07 - It's not pronounced 'Nigire Tsu tsu'. I get why you say it like that, because there are a lot of incorrect romanizations of the title online. It's pronounced "Nigireee----!!" with like an emphasis on the end, easy mistake to make - 9:15 - The second season of Death Note actually aired in 2007, so What's Up People was already out two years before it, and one year before the anime even started. I find that fact interesting personally. I think the label chose an existing song they think fit the anime, and then the song Zetsubou Billy was the new one made specifically for Death Note - 9:28 - the anime Akagi is just called Akagi, not 'Akagi no Kill', I think you got that mixed up with the much different and much newer anime 'Akame ga Kill' haha. Also fun fact, the title of the EP 'Zawa.. Zawa...' is a reference to the author of Akagi and Kaiji's famous onomatopoeia of the same name he uses in his manga, and it's even in the anime for Kaiji. I guess that was their 'Akagi EP' if that makes sense Again, no hate, I just saw some stuff I wanted to say! Good video, especially for your first time!!
Hello, I really love your videos, especially your editing style! I came across MTH in a random youtube video about 6 months ago and I've been a fan ever since. I rarely listen to metal so I was puzzled as to what made me love them so much. I think you formulated it perfectly: their sound is super raw, but they still have something catchy/almost funny to them. Also the melodies and riffs are not something you would usually hear in rock or metal, and the fast rapping/singing somehow works really well in Japanese lol. Anywho, keep making videos! Big up from the Netherlands :D Bonus question: do you know who the person is on the cover of Bu ikikaesu?
i appreciate that a lot, thanks! the credited model for bu-ikikaesu is FANNITA, who modeled under Satoru Japan Inc. i can't find much else about her and could only find a couple pics of her online, she was only with that agency for a short time. hope that helps!
Most of their newer albums are on Spotify, but the early stuff isn't. If you want to hear their whole library, you would need to find CD's. This is what sucks about being a fan of Japanese Bands in general. Most of their stuff is hard to find. And buying cd's from Japan can be very expensive.
Hi, just wanna commend you for a really good video and hope to see more Maximum the hormone content :). When I had this video in the background I managed to get my first ever classic tetris maxout after 4 years of grinding haha. I think your video gave me power to do it. So thank you for this video :D
Dawg MTH is my favorite Japanese bands. If I say that my favorite opening is death note opening 2 ( which it is) ppl just hate on it. They are underrated in the west. I insanity and I love it. Especially the what’s up people part when things go insane, best part in the song by far.
Hell yes I fucking love this band and how ecclectic and unafraid they are to just DO WHATEVER with their songs. Why are so many of their songs about a guy named Bob?
Thanks for your history lesson about Maximum; I just thought of them randomly, the last time I listen to them in 2019, I am very happy they appeared again, and finally a history lesson about them too. Once again thanks for sharing their history, and I hope they'll come to America soon too 🥰😊😇 😊🥰
It was great to discover them during 2007 Death Note craze. Wouldn't think that a Japanese Metal band would gain so much traction internationally. Of course, Death Note was a huge catapult of fame for them. But back then you would think that the audience would prefer that first band that did the opening (can't remember their name now). They were a Visual Kei band, which was much attractive for female audience (when there's female audience, there are big numbers). That audience being the 2006-2010 Anime/Emo/Goth crowd with J-Rock nicely mixed into it (Eastern European point of view). But anyway, it was effeminately attractive rock boys VS freaky random metal bunch. And the latter one won! How about that? Nice work putting up the vid, Christian. I'm not currently a follower of the band, they were a phase for me during Buikikaessu era, killer album. Those first 2 video gigs were totally enjoable as well. But anyway, couldn't get past an MTH documentary from the perspective of a western fan. And 666th like from me, which is a totally useless fact.
I've loved this band since I saw Death Note when it was airing in Japan during one of my vacations there. I couldn't find their CDs in stores her in NYC, so I DL'd a mess of tracks and gave up trying to understand the lyrics almost instantly. I've been following their RUclips channel since 2015 (?) and I'm trying to figure out how to catch them Live when I go back to Japan in March 2024... They're the best thing since Judy and Mary for me...
Akane, the drummer from Band-maid, said that Nao has been an inspiration for becoming a female drummer that can hit the drums as hard as a male one. I just think it's nice seeing people from older bands I love inspiring newer bands I love.
one of their songs got referenced in the very recent chapter of chainsaw man, decided to listen to some music from them and they are really good!!

Corny zoomers ruined this song and band
How does this not have more views???
I know right
it will
Its honestly a shame more english speaking peeps dont listen to or even know about MTH. I absolutely love the work and personality of every member.
I love the fact that they are still being discovered today. I've been on the wagon since 07 and i can see all the new videos being made on them this year alone and I think it's fantastic. Everyone needs to know this band

Yoshu fukushu cover art is so fire

Please make more videos about Japanese artists! G.I.S.M. would be sick
Nice summary/overview
Brooo this deserves so much more attention!! Thank you dude sick video!
I adore MTH so much. Definitely one of my fav bands.
woahh !! thats a lot of info of this great band. thank you !! im a big fan from Colombia, Im a visual artist and their songs inspire me a lot !
Really been getting into them recently, thanks for this!
Thank you for making this video. I have been listening to Zetsubou Billy since it came out. But other then that I actually didn’t know much about them.
U.K. fan here since 2013. I feel you about being a foreign fan. Keep your eyes peeled for when they tour. The wife and I were lucky to see them in London last year.
They also did VIP meet and greets, which would be impossible in Japan. They had warnings on the tickets stating if you are Japanese and live in Japan you cannot attend VIP… crazy.
thank for this ia massive mth fan
Always love finding fellow MTH fans! lml
thank you just came across them and now im obsessed lol great video
Thanks for getting out to English peeps, they are fucking amazing. I've been listening since I heard death notes second opening, and my god they're the single greatest metal/punk band ever imo
i've been waiting for this video since like 2007 😭 back when you could only listen to them on here through misheard lyric videos and bass covers
ah yes i remember the misheard lyric videos fondly! bikini sports ponchin was "look at his balls punch him" LMAO
@@bhristianbortes "monkey's got a big ball chin" lmao those changed my brain chemistry forever
love this!! Cool to see someone else just as excited about them haha. I love bands that can't be defined or pushed into one genre. Enter Shikari are another of my favorites for the same reason.
Awesome video - hope you do more like this! :)
I learned about these guys from a balkan, orphan refugee who was brought to the Utah in the mid 90s. She was this really cute scene girl in my computer tech class in middle school. She was all scene and edgy and I was a sheltered mormon boy. I wonder where she is now lol
Great video and I appreciate the passion and love put into it! It's a good intro for those not familiar with the band. But, I have to be a pedantic mf and give some small corrections:
- "Hou' is considered an EP or a mini-album. no biggie
- 6:07 - It's not pronounced 'Nigire Tsu tsu'. I get why you say it like that, because there are a lot of incorrect romanizations of the title online. It's pronounced "Nigireee----!!" with like an emphasis on the end, easy mistake to make
- 9:15 - The second season of Death Note actually aired in 2007, so What's Up People was already out two years before it, and one year before the anime even started. I find that fact interesting personally. I think the label chose an existing song they think fit the anime, and then the song Zetsubou Billy was the new one made specifically for Death Note
- 9:28 - the anime Akagi is just called Akagi, not 'Akagi no Kill', I think you got that mixed up with the much different and much newer anime 'Akame ga Kill' haha.
Also fun fact, the title of the EP 'Zawa.. Zawa...' is a reference to the author of Akagi and Kaiji's famous onomatopoeia of the same name he uses in his manga, and it's even in the anime for Kaiji. I guess that was their 'Akagi EP' if that makes sense
Again, no hate, I just saw some stuff I wanted to say! Good video, especially for your first time!!
thanks for the corrections!
Outstanding video, very informative! It's awesome I stumbled across this, I'm also from Dallas and love me some j-rock!
another fan from dallas!! there are dozens of us!!
I needed this primer video. Thanks!
This is your first video!? Great job. Randomly recommended to me cuz of how much MtH I listen to lol. Always good to find fellow fans
Big W!
Great content, man! Do Buck Tick next
Well done research, i didnt know about some of those music videos yet, they arent on youtube
Great video.
I love this band and have forever!
Hello,
I really love your videos, especially your editing style!
I came across MTH in a random youtube video about 6 months ago and I've been a fan ever since. I rarely listen to metal so I was puzzled as to what made me love them so much. I think you formulated it perfectly: their sound is super raw, but they still have something catchy/almost funny to them. Also the melodies and riffs are not something you would usually hear in rock or metal, and the fast rapping/singing somehow works really well in Japanese lol.
Anywho, keep making videos! Big up from the Netherlands :D
Bonus question: do you know who the person is on the cover of Bu ikikaesu?
i appreciate that a lot, thanks! the credited model for bu-ikikaesu is FANNITA, who modeled under Satoru Japan Inc. i can't find much else about her and could only find a couple pics of her online, she was only with that agency for a short time. hope that helps!
Most of their newer albums are on Spotify, but the early stuff isn't. If you want to hear their whole library, you would need to find CD's. This is what sucks about being a fan of Japanese Bands in general. Most of their stuff is hard to find. And buying cd's from Japan can be very expensive.
that was great video keep up the good work BIg W
another maximum fan from Dallas?!?!?
:o let's gooo
@@bhristianbortes you never told us your favorite mth song please let me know! Mine is the first mth
@@xeroxeroxero_ hard to pick a favorite, but i'd say bu-ikkikaesu!! Louisiana Bob and hocho hasami are near the top, too
Great video man.
With you my guy
Great band
wish they would come here
but maybe I'll fly over to see them
1 day
Luisiana Bob is my favorite song too!!
OH GOD YES. One of the greatest bands ever, thanks for the video!
loved the history on this weird, fun, and super influential band
Discovered them half a year ago and I love their stuff!!!
Thank you for sharing !! Arigatou gozaimasu !
Hi, just wanna commend you for a really good video and hope to see more Maximum the hormone content :). When I had this video in the background I managed to get my first ever classic tetris maxout after 4 years of grinding haha. I think your video gave me power to do it. So thank you for this video :D
Pretty good first video, it did not suck! And now I know about an interesting and weird band. Thank you.
Dawg MTH is my favorite Japanese bands. If I say that my favorite opening is death note opening 2 ( which it is) ppl just hate on it. They are underrated in the west. I insanity and I love it. Especially the what’s up people part when things go insane, best part in the song by far.
Being a western mth fan is hard but i've tried getting into nobodyknows+ and it's almost impossible from the west
Hell yes I fucking love this band and how ecclectic and unafraid they are to just DO WHATEVER with their songs. Why are so many of their songs about a guy named Bob?
bob is only one! they have characters like jimmy, johnny, and billy too in their songs... not sure why tho
@@bhristianbortes Well I am glad Bob is healthy at the least.
Thanks for your history lesson about Maximum; I just thought of them randomly, the last time I listen to them in 2019, I am very happy they appeared again, and finally a history lesson about them too. Once again thanks for sharing their history, and I hope they'll come to America soon too 🥰😊😇 😊🥰
Very cool video. 👍🤘
Great coverage! Thank you
Surprised surf rock didn't end up on the genre list from Koino Mega Lover
🔥🔥🔥
It was great to discover them during 2007 Death Note craze. Wouldn't think that a Japanese Metal band would gain so much traction internationally. Of course, Death Note was a huge catapult of fame for them. But back then you would think that the audience would prefer that first band that did the opening (can't remember their name now). They were a Visual Kei band, which was much attractive for female audience (when there's female audience, there are big numbers). That audience being the 2006-2010 Anime/Emo/Goth crowd with J-Rock nicely mixed into it (Eastern European point of view). But anyway, it was effeminately attractive rock boys VS freaky random metal bunch. And the latter one won! How about that?
Nice work putting up the vid, Christian. I'm not currently a follower of the band, they were a phase for me during Buikikaessu era, killer album. Those first 2 video gigs were totally enjoable as well. But anyway, couldn't get past an MTH documentary from the perspective of a western fan.
And 666th like from me, which is a totally useless fact.
that band is called nightmare! thanks a lot, 666th like
Keep up the vids dude ! If you want an other Japanese band to look up it's Crazy SKB or QP Crazy very obscure band that needs a shot to get some love!
nice video dude, mth is based af and i hope ill see em live one day

I've loved this band since I saw Death Note when it was airing in Japan during one of my vacations there. I couldn't find their CDs in stores her in NYC, so I DL'd a mess of tracks and gave up trying to understand the lyrics almost instantly. I've been following their RUclips channel since 2015 (?) and I'm trying to figure out how to catch them Live when I go back to Japan in March 2024... They're the best thing since Judy and Mary for me...
