We have just released our new Maximum the Hormone cover! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qKeXebBexJzOoaM.html 😁

"Yoshu Fukushu" sort of means homework, because the song is about Ryo's school days, but they intentionally spelt it wrongly so it means "Pre-attack and revenge". So he's singing about how he was bullied at school because of his appearance and wants to make revenge. But in the last mellow part, he realizes that living with anger is tiring so he decides to spit out all his anger in this album and forgive. He doesn't care if it doesn't resonate with anyone or if it doesn't make money. He just wanted to spit it out and never talk about his past pain again.

You: "Cute little girl voice" Me: "Wait 2 seconds"

「声かわええのお」言った直後のデスボイスはさすがに草

The guitarist wrote this song about him being bullied in middle school.

I discovered this band 2 years ago and I'm so happy to see more people doing reaction videos.

Don’t mind me. Just here rewatching all your MtH reactions yet again. And every time I watch this one I love how Alan says he’s feeling kinda emotional towards the end. Cause yes somehow they bring the feels in this one. Even more so after you read up on the lyrics and what the song is about. Also can we just appreciate how incredible it is for a band that’s usually so humorous to be able to bring the feels? And in a song that goes so hard for most of it?! One of the reasons this is my all time favourite song 🖤

8:47 " I don't care (or doesn't matter) my words did across to nobody. Even if there's no money in this work , It's nothing." I love those lyrics.

A very sweet song about letting out all the murderous rage built through Ryo's school life, filled with a shitton of bullying.

Haha, "Kawaii" means "cute", and "Kowai" means "Scary". You guys' reactions are just AWESOME.

Kawaiiボイスからのデスボイスにまんまと引っかかる二人w

I just wanna say I found out about this band because of you guys and I'm truly grateful. I haven't found one song from them that I haven't liked. They have a ton of different genres and they do it so well. Just goes to show that music can inspire and move everyone even when you don't speak the language presented in it. So once again ty dicodec and ofc mth!

2:33 here kawaii little girl voice, I love it 😂

That reaction was classic when she went from the "cute little girl voice" to the scream! 🤣

この人達しっかり狙いにハマってくれるから観てておもろい😊

Nao is easily my favorite drummer^^

A most excellent reaction. Good comments. If only music appreciation class was this fun. Hahaha 🤪. You have exposed me to some more great music. Keep it up 👍 🦊.

歌詞がめちゃいい。後半は泣けてくる。

my favorite song from my favorite japanese metal band.

I'm looking back at the old videos. Eric with his pogchamp and goatee-less alan. Yall have come a long way 😭

The physical release of this album came with a hard-cover comic with Ryo as the main character. If I remember correctly, one of the first panels was a giant Ryo-kaiju saying, "Bwahahaha! I'mmmmm baaaaaack!

Saw them live last year, outstanding

The relax part of the song the 1st one theres a bassline too 🤗🤗🤗 thats a bass and guitar

If I remember correctly the story behind this song is that Ryo, the guitarist, had found out his wife and gone to Nao, Roy’s sister and the Drummer, and asked for help with Ryo because he had the mind of an 8th grader, due to having a lot of interest in comics and other, what some might consider juvenile interest. He then wrote this song, which basically professes that he’s happy to have the mind of an 8th grader. Or something along those lines.

it was about bullying. So yeah it was a bit serious this time. You guys were right on the money. The vocals really sounded like he was lashing out, even though I didn't understand a damn word.

It’s ok, Alan, I myself cried at exact the same part of this song😂

マキシムザホルモンの曲は気を抜いて聴いてるとビックリするよ ww

This is easily one of my fav songs from MTH

the intro kind of reminds me of Coheed and Cambria, even Nao's voice. I love these two bands ever since!

6:11 this breakdown is absolutely insane

Not sure if you guys have been told already but if you plan to react to more MTH songs, go to websites other than KZfaq to watch them. A lot of their songs aren’t on KZfaq due to the label, as well as videos claiming to be “official” but are just fan made. However you can find them pretty easily along with official music videos on other sites such as Dailymotion.

It’s about puberty. Growing up in a school in Japan I love this song

Hi there! As far as i know, this song was about bulling, so yes, it's quite deep in meaning :) I'm sure someone will be more deep in the explanation. I told you before to listen to "ningen isu" but i think i didn't recoment a song (my fault). You can check "heartless scat", it's one of their most famous track :) By the other hand, you may already know of them, they are quite famous, but if it's not the case, check out babymetal, in some sense, they have some similitude with maximum the hormone (mixing styles and every song beeing diferent)

"I felt like, a little teary eyed at the end and I have no clue why" Then you got it

Strange question/ question - does anyone know of songs very similar to this one? With its switch from heavy to clean to parts hardcore? I found this song yesterday and I am so addicted to it!

Fun fact about that heavy part in the beginning: It's not off-time at all. The only thing that throws you off listening to it is the break. Usually we expect to hear the riff starting on 1 after the break but what they do here is they just don't play the first part of the riff and simply pick it up at a later point. Try counting 1-2-3-4 from the beginning, keep counting through the break. It's very simple really. It just throws you off because it's an unusual way to go about it.

The song is about bullying AFAIK. The guitarist wrote about bullying he experienced in High School, hence the school setting.

2:25 “Do you all like cute little girl voices?” That sir is a loaded question I won’t be answering lol.

Kowai - scary Kawaii - cute, adorable

I never realized you shaved for this video till now and oof it caught me off guard

I can't enough of this song

Nice reaction! If you like neutral Japanese vocals, you should react to Dir en Grey! They are fuckin awesome, especially live! Look for their songs "Uroko", "Different Sense", "Saku" and "Obscure" :)

Where is the bassist? xDDD Did you get rid of him? ahahahahah "No bassist were hurt or injured before the recording of this video" Btw he nailed the pronunciation of "Yoshu Fukushu", well done! But he kinda fucked up "Kawaii", the i sound is prolonged. Nao there doesn't do growls, she just shouts normally. She and her brother (the guitarist) are the one doing the "shout" part. Also the weird timing really caught you off guard, but once you listen to it more, it really feels more aggressive. (For the drums part, Nao first hits both crashes, and right after the hits crash2 (right hand) and the snare (left hand). It feels unnatural but that's what Nao usually does every now and then. That's her way to contibute to the song) About the song: This is probably one of the most sincere / serious songs they ever put. Sure there are some jokes here and there but it's definitely something very serious. This title song means "Pre-emptive Revenge" and talks about how Ryo wants revenge from his childhood. He was getting bullied for his weight a lot, but thru rock and metal music he fought against the "people" who bullied him in school. Sadly in japan schools, the bullying gets very difficult to deal than most of other countries. (Also that's why the video was shot in a school). So yeah, thanks to his guitar and his music he was able to become who he is. That's why at some points there's the "Go fight" with the imagine of a brain (supposed to be Ryo's brain), to fight his way out. (Also funny enough he calls them "motherfuckers" when Ryo at the beginning starts to talk rapidly)

This song is about the surging feelings of a boy and girl in adolescence. For some reason it makes me cry when I listen to it. Check out the lyrics.

Alan: wow this is so mellow, I've never heard this kind of style from them before, it must be a story of sorts Eric (sais very casually): it'll probably build up, for sure 😂

You guys could not have timed little girl voice any better 😂😂

you're very right this one means a bit more than a bowl of ramen!

4:00 ahhh the beat was going on, the thing is they stopped for half a beat, and came back in the second half of it, that's why it feels wierd, but if you keep headbanging nonstop ure never out of time, dw hahaha

Ok this is the cue I needed to remind you to go for BABYMETAL ! You were wondering what the hell Kawaii is and you've added BABYMETAL - Road of Resistance (Live in Japan) to your list. Well, BABYMETAL pretty much invented Kawaii Metal. I love MTH but time to expand your horizons my friend, you've opened a world of treasure music from Japan lemme tell you :). I'm also anxious to make you discover bands like Band-Maid, Ladybaby, Lovebites, Galneryus, Ningen Isu, X Japan, Dir En Grey.... But start with BABYMETAL and stay on topic of Kawaii :). Cheers ! Also, a little tip going forward : Pausing is alright but try to go back a few seconds each time to not lose the flow of the song... For example, right after the drummer starts her scream at the beginning would've been nice to go back to it especially after talking about it, cutting the flow ;).

This is what you do after prom night when you graduate and everyone has gone to Brent and Becky's after party

Очень круто 👍

you can try ningen isu - heartless scat or - unlucky morpheus - black pentagram if youre lookin for more japanese metal masterpeices ;) looks like you have a plan @music.

Looks like it's time for you to react to Lovebites Shadowmaker

Regarding the beat you found confusing around 4 minutes in - it's just 4/4 but they leave a rest on the first 8th of the section

Best reaction 🤣

"これである" のとこ全然ウケなかったなw

Very thoughtful reaction, Thanks. I'd recommend to react to Broken by the Scream - K.I.R.A. In some ways they are a mixture of Ladybaby and Cattle Decapitation which should be interesting enough, no?

Yoshu fukushu have very important message.

Fantastic band... recommend Sigh ... another fabulous Japanese band who are also “a bit” eccentric!

Please react to "F - Maximum the hormone " TnT

Yoshu Fukushu might be my fav song of them! :) Btw, as a fellow weeb, i found them through Death Note!

The band is really great, i am a fan since their earlier days! Because their not pretentious. Also i am a fan of your channel, unlike others are phony.

2:33 kawaii voice

hello thanks

"WTH is kawai?" "Pleas, get out of this room"

A-L-I-E-N its one of the best.

there is another suggestion. But theres no video, its more for private hearing :) so thats nothing to react but its awesome music. really awesome music. "black kirin - death contract" this will kill you, its from china :) Folk-.Metal. this is waht you want to hear, wen ure in a chinese restaurant :D its my favorite band at this moment but when you want to react, there is a live video, i cant paste it here, just search for black klirin live in ShenZhen:)

Really enjoy u folks reaction. Do u happen to have interest in something else? If so, try alip bata - bohemian rhapsody. I really think u guys gonna enjoy this, and bring much more traffic to your channel.

dude you pause every damn second and didn't go 5 second back

Dir En Grey please~

Maybe you should try to react to korean metal the band called seo taiji they are good

この歌詞は、とても深いので 知って欲しいです。 🤘👅🤘

今日は2人かい？

Anti bullying message.

きたーーーーー！！！

MTH - BUIIKIKAESU !!
