Both Tamu from Nemophila and Akane from Band Maid credit Nao as a main influence on them , that a pretty good legacy right there. Listening to MTH is like driving at 100 mph along a narrow dangerous mountain road but you're also totally whacked and blindfolded, fck yeah 👍🍻
The band is actually running a competition for people to guess the lyrics so thats why they will be released at a later time. The lyrics are scrambled in this. Only MTH could think up this cool idea.
Excellent react. From my understanding, the lyrics are the typical gibberish designed to convey emotion and feeling. My take on the song and video is kind of this Japanese stereo type of America, aka what most Japanese think of America, and then mixed in their understanding and appreciation of American music, i.e. American Metal.
We, Japanese, have absolutely no idea what the lyrics are at this point. In the beginning of this music video, it says "Turn the CC on when the lyrics are revealed in the middle of September, after the announcement of the result of the This-is-what-we-think-we-hear competition". Maximum the Ryokun has even held a competition and had their fans guess the lyrics, so no one knows the lyrics yet. However, there's one part we know the rilycis for sure at 14:54. Nao sings "Please do not drop it again because it hurts everyone". That definitely refers to Hiroshima and Nagasaki, considering that the date this video was posted was August 6, the day the U.S. military dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima.
I find a reference to Hiroshima to be pretty unlikely, but you never know. As you know, if your persona is authentic, Japanese are not too keen on talking about the events of the Pacific War. Especially in the context of how the common stance among Japanese influencers and politicians is that Koreans and Chinese are being absurd for refusing to let the past go. So, we will wait for the lyrics.
@@ProCoRat Yeah, you're right about the common stance of ordinary Japanese people towards politics, but it's Maximum the Ryokun we're talking about. Like you said, you never know. I assume he wouldn't blindly glorify American culture when he sings his love towards the US, and I won't be surprised if he mentions Hiroshima and Nagasaki in his song. Do you think it's just coincidence that this video was posted on Aug 6th? Let's just wait and see.
I am Japanese, but I also hear me saying, "Don't drop me again. It hurts everyone. As you predicted, I think it is referring to the atomic bomb, but I don't feel that the whole song was written with the intention of criticizing the use of nuclear weapons by the United States. However, it is certainly an unavoidable element in expressing my love for the United States. It is difficult for people from other countries to understand this, but we (or at least I) have strangely never had any hatred for the United States, including the circumstances that led to the atomic bombings. At the time, both sides were fighting each other to exterminate the enemy. However, the United States itself, which used the atomic bomb, must have felt with shock that it was not a weapon that should be used. Incidentally, Japan and the U.S., which once risked their lives to kill each other, are now the closest nations in the world. Without a doubt, we love each other's culture, and the existence of the band Maximum the Hormone was born from the intermingling of these cultures. Japan will probably continue to love the U.S. and will not give up its love for the U.S. just because it has suffered a little domestic violence. Just don't drop me again, okay?" I guess that's it.
The text at the beginning of the video actually says that the lyrics will be released at a later time. The homage to Southern Metal and Pantera was epic. Please tell me you at least noticed that? In fact they did it twice in the video.
Nao is the reason why Akane of Band-Maid started playing the drums. Akane also has a drum cover video of MtH's song "Benjo Sandal Dance" ruclips.net/video/KPgMD-nPITQ/видео.html
'Koi No America" has the look of a Maximum The Hormone Sampler: it shows what MTH is and what MTH does. If you're an MTH fan you knew they were going to throw as many off the wall curve balls as they could, and 'Koi no America' fulfilled that prophecy. This video was a HUGE production and they obviously exerted a maximum effort. It only makes sense that MTH wants a share of the American market. I'm a Band-Maid fan and because they opened for The Last Rock Stars, I watched their stream from the LA Palladium where X Japan Drummer/Pianist Yoshiki made a statement about 'The Wall' that separates Western culture from Japanese Rock and how he wants to break through that wall. There are a lot of really good Japanese bands trying to break out of Japan right now and we should be supporting them. I've been watching postings from Band-Maid's NA tour, saw them in Detroit and Columbus, and I do get the impression that the Japanese really like America. Band-Maid particularly credits North American fans with saving the band from being dissolved and love touring over here. They too are MTH fans.
Nao is the one person responsible for Akane Hirose, drummer for Band-Maid, putting down her trumpet and taking up the drums. And one last point. Almost all these bands from Band-Maid to Nemophila and almost all the others absolutely love America. But don't confuse. Just because they love the USA does not indicate that they all love everything about America. I don't myself.

Damn, I want the whole song in that 80s style with just Nao! No idea why, but I love this part. 🙈🤣 It may be true that Nao is sometimes not talked about enough, but at least in Japan EVERYONE knows who she is. For many (and I mean many!) she is THE reason why we have so many outstanding ladies on drums from Japan today. The two most prominent ones are probably Tamu from Nemophila and Akane from Band-Maid. Tamu even participated in a casting once where MTH was looking for members for a new band. (Video ID: » Hi--VkbrF44 « from minute 2.58).

One more interesting fact about Nao: she's been one of the first major female musician in Japan to keep on playing after pregnancy (she has two kids). Before that, musicians usually stopped their career once married and pregnant. Nowadays, it's quite normal (look at Nemophila, Aldious, Gacharic Spin, Lovebites) but she was a pioneer.
Not really. Even before Nao, there were musicians who continued to perform, not only in the traditional folk and classical fields, such as Carmen Maki, whom SHOW-YA's Terada admires, although she took a break. Maki, born in 1951, made her debut in 1969 and is a presence that cannot be ignored when discussing Japanese rock in the 1970s, especially known for Carmen Maki & Blues Creation and Carmen Maki & OZ. Carmen Maki & OZ / "Watashi wa Kaze" ("I am the Wind") ruclips.net/video/DYBA3HeoYKg/видео.html - One of SHOW-YA's well-known numbers is the song "Watashi wa Arashi" ("I am the Storm").
@@zs9811 ... and that's why I said "ONE of the first major female musicians" and not "THE first". No need to school me on Show-Ya, I have all their albums, including all their vinyls 😉 EDIT: I had to check but I also have Carmen Maki's "Night Stalker" on vinyl
Every time another country sings about America it is not flattering. Rammstein did the same thing. "We're all living in America, Coca cola, sometimes war." etc.
Good question. This is a Love song but the lyrics are weird In the comments there a Japanese Guys who don´t understand what the singing And i have a weird feeling the sing about "Penis". that not the first time the trolling
Love this song. No band in the world like them. Love the chaotic genius of their songs.
I think it pays Homage to ALL the "genre" of metal from the U.S.
The official lyrics are now available.
And English translations are also available, so please check them out.

めっちゃホルモン好いててくれてて好き
Nao is driving Kitt, The Night Rider car.
Yeah I heard a Japanese interview with them saying the video is about them trying to break into the Western music scene
Nao is Akane of BAND-MAID's drum idol.
I believe Tamu from Nemophila also.
Nao is the OG (Original Gorilla!)
Akane has said many times that the reason she dropped trumpet and took up drums was because of MTH and specifically Nao.
Fun fact: The song was realeased on 6th August... the same date when little boy was dropped over Hiroshima
"koi no sperma" is another fun banger from these guys.
small side info -- nao is a key figure in akane's decision to play drums.

Awesome stuff. MtH comes across to me as an evolution The Boredoms (also from Japan).
Nao is Ryo's elder sister.
Have yet to see anyone mention Nao is driving KITT from Knight Rider. I am hoping the live ending is a hint of a U.S. Tour.
If you want the ultimate experience, you should listen to their song Alien.
NAO is a drumming goddess :) I could go with an all NAO albumn :)

I would think, like A LOT of MTH songs, it is done with tongue planted firmly in cheek.
It is hard to believe that they are all in their mid to late 40's.

"Koi no" means "love of" in Japanese so this song is about the Love of America so definitely not making fun.
