*WHATS UP PEOPLE?!*

This song is very emotional. It's about him being bullied for his weight and all the crap he went through when he was 14 and in middle school. It's about getting revenge for all the pain. Released Anger through his music. It hits home especially for those who were bullied in school when they were younger. All of their music has a message. They're deep.

MY god. Maximum The Hormone. One of Japans best Metal bands

Producer: "So, which Music-Genre is your Song gonna be?" MTH: "Yes!" Maximum the Hormone in a Nutshell^^

If you're gonna do them again, A-L-I-E-N or What's Up People?! are definitely the ones you need to put some time into checking out!

ヤバい、ついに海外のばあちゃんにまでホルモンが届いたぞ。

Maximum The Hornone is a phenomenal band. Here’s the line-up if you plan to revisit them. Front man and the main growler/heavy vocals is Daisuke Tsuda (Daisuke Han), Bassists/Backup Vocals Futoshi Uehara (Ue-Chan), Guitarist/Vocals Ryo Kawakita (Maximum the Ryo-Kun), and finally Drummer/Vocalist (Also Ryo’s older sister) Nao Kawakita (Nao).

So...im a 50 yr old metal/ punk/outlaw country/ and " old pop radio fan. This band breathed life back into me. I teared up when I heard this song bcuz I saw the demise of popular music in the U.S. and MTH made me look over seas for music by the people for the people. PEOPLE TAKE OUR ART BACK

This is a song about the guitarist who was bullied in school and after so many years and even with the success he has today he can’t get over those days and the pain. He would like to take revenge on the bullies but he realizes that the best thing he can do for himself and those who care for him is to just let it go

MTH is my favorite band of all time! So glad you guys enjoyed them! Check out "Hungry Pride" too!

Maximum the Hormone is one of my favourite bands ever. Their energy is unmatched, and sound is just super unique and fun. I am so glad more people are experiencing this band.

Holy crap. This is an absolute insane song. I love it. There's just so many of of my favorite heavy metal elements present in the song. So I really did enjoy it. I just wish I knew a little Japanese. 🇯🇵 Sayonara until tomorrow. ✌️🤘

Man, I'd adore more Maximum The Hormone content from you lovely ladies. They are super unique in every song they do.

Her: I hope she doesn't start growlin like a big grizzly bear Me: welp.

I've never heard of these guys but this song was rad as hell. I'm going to have to check out more of their music!

The intro always gets people lol,plus you two even jump at every transition 🤣🤣

Ha ha ha ha... Made me laugh see our gorgeous grannies jump when the song picked up. Bout, OH WOW,what a fantastic song.

Love your shirts, Grannies! Before you come back to the US, can you stop by Canada and visit Devin Townsend? 😁

the most rocking grannies on the planet Two thumbs up

AMON AMARTH THE WAY OF THE VIKINGS

Thank you for doing this band. They don't get as much love as they disserve.

Thank you for reacting to this band!!! My 6 year old daughter loves them!

Soo happy you listened to this band. React to them more please!!!!

GM: This is different Everyone else: Ohhh, wait for it!

What's up people by them is my favorite. Also, the GazettE is a great jpn metal band.

THANK YOU for reacting to my favourite song 🖤 I hope you check out more of their music. There’s never a boring moment with Maximum the Hormone. Also there’s A LOT of great bands from Japan. Another band I absolutely adore is the prog rock band Sokoninaru. They’re absolutely amazing musicians. I recommend checking out their videos for Gou Ni Moyu, Tenohira De Odoru, and the new song Lament Moment (from an upcoming album). They’re mind blowing.

Thank you grannies for reacting to this song!!! I love you so much, please keep reacting to other songs from them ❤❤❤

I love Maximum the Hormone, saw them live in 2012 and they were so much fun on stage.

Dir EnGrey - Vinushka live Best band ever, wide vocal range, amazing song

So glad you enjoyed this song! MTH is incredible. This song is actually about the Guitarist Ryu. He was bullied a lot in school, so this song is about wanting to take revenge and ultimately realizing it’s not worth it. So instead he’ll just pour out his pain and anger through music. Fun fact, Nao (the drummer) is the main inspiration for Akane from Band Maid to start playing music. You definitely earned a subscriber here!

Loved the international menu this week! Please do it again soon. Rock on, Grannies!

2:56 心臓発作起きなくて良かった

Thanks so much grannies I've added so many songs to my playlist because of you guys

Amazing idea to do a tour around the world through metal! I'd love to see you do it again. There are so many great bands out there from all over the world that lots of folks never know about or give a chance, because they are not highly publicized in other countries. Anyway, that's my 2 cents. I love you both. Keep rockin'!

YES!!! I was excited to see you guys finally react to Maximum the Hormone. I can't wait to see more and keep being awesome ladies. : )

I agree, cutting like this the video and sound as you did, it seems you do not feel the choir emotional power ( no need to understand the lyrics ,) its crystal clear ! YOU FEELLL IT ! ) Well it was great to see Grannies feeling the metal power ^^ they are so original in their own way, its like mixing several styles with a major " I don"t give a sh*** about what you're thinking " ;)

alright, this WHOLE week has been bands I've loved from around the world. Maximum the Hormone is one of my absolute favorites. I wish their albums were more available here in the states. Glad to see them.get a reaction.

"Chu chu lovely muni muni mura mura purin boron nururu rero rero" is another good song by them

This channel is amazing, keep rocking ladies! \m/

AAAAAAA MY FAVORITE GRANNIES ARE LISTEING TO MY FAVORITE BAND

listen to the group Arka'n! With their music "Return of the ancient sword" It's an African metal band that rocks! 😁 🤟

I hope this international tour becomes a regular thing. You two are awesome!

omg yes i love maximum the hormone!

Please listen to "the Gazette" Rock!!!

Thank you for reacting to my suggestion! I almost missed it :D Glad you enjoyed, and trust me when I say Japan have a lot of awesome bands like this one :D

This is a not so well known band and I really like it that they have seen their video. it's such a crazy thing thanks grannies

Hey! nice one ladies! im glad you finally got around to these guys. i love Nao, her voice is certainly cute and sweet when she wants it to be, but she can throw down with the best of them too. whne her kids get in trouble they know it.

This band is amazing and crazy! Please do some Lovebites!!!!

Maximum the Hormone is my Inner 16 year olds favorite band, and im in my 40's.

you ladies rock!

Haggard - herr mannelig. A German symphonic metal band singing a Swedish folk ballad in Italian language.

Yes I wanted this one so much! ❤️

Their actual name is written in katakana. Katakana is the Japanese alphabet used for borrowed words from other languages. ホルモン or hormone Horumonyaki (Japanese: ホルモン焼き) is a kind of Japanese cuisine made from beef or pork discarded parts. The name horumon is derived from the word "hormone", which means "stimulation" in Greek. The name horumon is also similar to the Kansai dialect term hōrumon (放る物), which means "discarded goods". What does this have to do with this band? When asked about the group's name in an interview, Maximum the Ryo-kun stated "Take it as you like, it means anything from the Japanese cuisine for cooking animal innards to the sensation of the maximum amount of your hormones coming to the boil! Although when we go abroad people think we’re just some sorta sexual energy drink." "Hormone" (or horumon) is a style of yakiniku (Japanese BBQ) where many of the typically discarded internal organs are grilled in bite sized pieces and eaten. P.S. I did the wikipedia work for you. 🤣🤣

"I hope she doesn't start growling" Nao-chan: >_>

Amon Amarth - Twilight of the Thunder God !!

すげぇな この曲でノレるBBAなんて日本にはいねぇだろ かっけぇわ

This might be my favorite channel on KZfaq. So refreshing to see you be so open to all types of music. 🤘🤘🤘

Best band from japan

Absolutely love this band. Was first introduced to them through the anime series Death Note of which two of their songs were used for the opening and ending themes for the second half of the show. Also, please react to Septicflesh next. The Vampire From Nazareth (Official Live Video) or Martyr would be great places to start.

My favourite japanese band

mth is so slept on, they clear most big name metal bands by a long shot imo

A-L-I-E-N

Hey, Grannies! I'd highly recommend Ningen Isu, another Japanese metal band. Great stuff.

This was the first Maximum the Hormone song I heard a few years ago, was totally blown away and love everything they've ever, even the weird punk style early stuff. Saw them live in London last year, just incredible It's hard to go back to "normal" rock music after you've been listening to Japanese metal

There's honestly so many fantastic Japanese bands out there. Highly recommend Dir en Grey and JAM Project.

They have to be one of the mentalist band on the planet...and the universe 🤟🤪🤪👌👌👌.. but yea you want to go to another level of insane ..see their song .A.L.I.E.N. 🤪🤪😲😲😲 great reaction...keep safe and healthy.. and rocking on. 🖤🖤🖤

I love getting high AF and listening to Maximum the Hormone. Found them through Death Note in high school. You guys need to do Gojira or Mastodon. Mastodon " The Curl of the Burl " maybe?

You got my subscription simply for your great reaction video to this song. This whole album, by the way, is really incredible!

NAO is probably the most influential drummer in Japanese rock/metal; Akane Hirosa, amongst others, cites her as her major influence, not least because she is a woman drummer.

Please react to Ningen Isu. This is a Japanese metal band that's inspired by the Black Sabbath. They are quite old guys but anyway they are pretty cool guys😄

I really love the way you react to this song. Most ppl i show this song are running out of the room covering their ears when the metal part kicks in without even trying to listen to or enjoying the song. It's an amazing song and an amazing band and i'm glad you two enjoyed it.

Oh grannies! I'm so glad you reacted to them!! You should react to their other songs especially "What's Up People". MTH are known to always surprise you so I'm sure it would be funny to react to their other songs ^^

Thanks so much, Death Note You let me know this amazing band XD

Finally MTH! Love it Grannies.

😂 JUMP SCARE

I absolutely love you guys and Maximum the Hormone, y'all should listen to 'Zetsubou Billy' or 'Chu Chu Lovely' from them next

Please watch more of them!

マジか!?w　とうとう異国のおば様にさえホルモンが聴かれるようになったのか!? 最高かよww Are you serious!?　Finally… Do foreign Madams also listen to MAXIMUM THE HORMONE's music!? Awesome!!

This was awesome 😊 My favorite Maximum the Hormone song. I love the transitions in this one and the uplifting feeling and I can relate to this song. It is about school bullying and making it through childhood. The image of students jumping from their school roofs to commit suicide seems very prominent in Japan. This is what the ending hints at but then we see her driving back home telling us that suicide is not the answer. We need to stand up and fight for ourselves and others :) I know the world tour is over for now and Dir en grey will most likely not give you just as many clicks as Babymetal, Band-Maid or Maximum the Hormone will but if you are truly searching for the tip of the iceberg Dir en grey's Vinushka is a good point to start. Please save the link if you consider a reaction or do a live version because there is a promotion edit and a restricted video which need to be avoided ^^'' kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b8VmpbOq3L6UeGg.html This band and the singers second project sukekiyo mean a lot to me and most of their fans because they create art which really touches your soul, makes you think, research and consequently learn more about human nature and see the world from different perspectives. If you give them a chance I am sure you would find a lot in their music and I would really love to listen to them with you and through your eyes and ears because I enjoy your reactions so much ^-^ Thank you for all this and have a good day~ 🤍

I'm not too into growls screamy vocals but their musical dynamics are f,n awesome. And the video very cool...

"I hope she don't start growlin' like some big grizzly bear..." 🤣 Shame you couldn't do a translation reaction, the lyrics are really good - One of my favourite songs. Has anyone told you that your logo looks a bit like McDonald's fries?

"international word" haha

I hope you'll come back to some Maximum The Hormone! :D I'd suggest Zetsubou Billy, one of my all time favorite from them! Also you should check their live videos! They're not that easy to find but just to see the sheer energy and syncronicity of the crowd, it's a thing to behold!

"Don't you think by now we'd be used to this?" XD omg, you're the best. There are so many japanese bands you should listen to! But I'll hold back on my spamming for now after what I did with Bloodywood haha

Maximum the Hormone is such an excellent band! They make such fun music with such stark contrasts in so many songs..! Gotta love 'em! Unfortunately, it seems it's fairly common to trip over copyright problems with reactions to their songs, but I'll leave a list of some of my favorite songs here: - What's up, people? - Rei rei rei rei rei rei rei ma ma ma ma ma ma ma - Koi no Megalover - Zetsubou Billy There's also two live DVDs that you could consider, unless you prefer music videos..! There's so many good bands from all over, and I'd love a round two of this!

love you grannies so much, I want to see you two review some more Evanescence, Maybe her newer work and tell us what you think!

Awesome I’ve been suggesting this band for a while now. Glad you enjoyed it. Other songs to check out would be. Let’s talk about Menkata Cottelee, What’s Up People, A.L.I.E.N, Zetsobou Billy, Louisiana Bob, Bu-Ikikaesu

pls do more maximum the hormone i think they are so underappriciated

One of my favorite songs

Please react Crystal Lake, best japanese band ever. Greetings from Colombia.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeee MAXIMUM THE HORMONE

Hey Grannies! Thank you for the amazing international week! Like you, I've only recently gotten into metal. Please, Please, please please! add this amazing Chilean band called Mawiza Ñi Piwke. They are a Mapuche (indigenous tribe in Chile) and sing this amazing song called Nunca Seremos Dichosos ("We will never be happy"). The song is sung in the Mapuche language and they sing about native autonomy. It's really great!

one recommendation, just found this channel today, it's awesome! anyway, one band that i keep finding myself going back to is Cyborg Octopus, and their song baptism of clay. another one is lamb of god's walk with me in hell

Drummer Nao is Guitarist Ryo's elder sister and used to try to defend him when he was bullied for his weight in school.

You should react to Sleeping with sirens! How it feels to be lost!!

Those grannies need to see Blind Guardian Vallhalla and Bards song live on Wacken, they will love it as much as anyone. The legends say that the crowd is still there singing Vallhalla :D

Loved their sound ever since first hearing "Zetsubou Billy" and "What's Up People" while watching the original Death Note anime in 2008

Your reaction is really nice from Japan

Hey ladies, I suggest you give Strapping Young Lad a try. I recommend the Songs "Wrong Side" or "Almost Again"

MAXIMUM THE HORMONE - What's up, People?
