Maximum the Hormone | Maximum the Hormone | Reaction Video

[@1989ry05uke]

Maximum the hormone II is the fan backlash song. This one is pretty much the opposite. This song mainly sings about the band motto and policy. At the time, 3 out of 4 band members were obese and they were proud about it. In their live performances, they always say "Sando no meshi yori meshi ga suki", which means "I like eating, more than the 3 meals in a day" (there's an expression in Japanese where we say "I like XX, more than the 3 meals in a day" when we want to express how much we like something). So the song is about how much they like eating "Kotteri (thick and greasy)" food and also about their band name. Hormone means something like "scrap meat" or "intestine meat" in Japanese. You'll see how they redefine the meaning of "Kotteri" in Maximum the hormone II, so looking forward to your reaction. There was actually a whole JPOP song before this song, and you only saw the last 2 seconds of it. That part is called "Your small hand", and they showed this song after a 2 year hiatus when Nao got pregnant. Everyone was upset because we thought they completely changed their music style and decided to do pop after having a child. They even had a 1 page document explaining why they decided to do mild music. But it turned out that if you read off the first letters off each line in that document, it said something like "FUCK you if you took it seriously", which only a fraction of the fans noticed. Then the next week, they showed us the second half of the video, which is what you watched. It was SOOOO good after being upset for a week or so. I recommend you watch the first bit too.

Thank you for explaining, as a foreigner looking from afar it's hard to get to know about such things.

[@freetobewhoibe]

Thanks for letting me know Ryosuke. It is great to learn more about this amazing band.

[@Shinobi_sac]

Your small hands is a video that has already been reacted to. That video in itself was a troll to the fans, saying they were going to tone things back now that Nao was a mother. This song then followed the end of that video (and that was the one shown that Ryo is sick over), and pretty much says "hell no are we changing, we are still Maximum the Hormone. Baby or not" It's why they have the scenes of pregnant women and babies in this video

[@neqproa]

This band changed my life! I literally listen to them everyday even to the songs you haven't reacted and oh boy, you will love all their songs. Not a single song is the same.

[@freetobewhoibe]

I have loved every song I have heard so far and I can't wait to hear more 🤘

[@omegashinra7672]

They changed my life too. They were the first band to introduce me to Japanese metal back in 2008, which is easily my favourite type of music and has spread into hundreds of bands I listen to now. They also directly influenced a lot of those same Japanese metal bands I listen to now, especially the more recent ones.

[@turtletanya5175]

When they all jump up and go into that heavy deep growl is the best intro ever for me. Can you get anymore bad ass than that!?

[@catschoose1248]

Since you like both bands, check out nemophila's covers of maximum the hormone :)

[@1991zabel]

I remember the first time i heard the poppy song they played here in the beginning, it went into the heavy stuff after like 2 minutes or so but both the first and second songs were released in full only when the album came out. Trolling at its finest i'll say.

[@freetobewhoibe]

😂 Love this band

[@xtlm]

yeah the other had the preamble song as well but also cut off this song in full. I've never actually heard this full version of this song lol I've been enjoying the 1 MTH reaction a week lol

[@vanmantalksMetal]

My favourite time of the week too bud, you watching another MTH video, basically the full version of this video has a full song at the start which you saw the end of, the song is a funny cheesy pop song hence why he is sick on the tv. here is the link to the full version if you want to check it out kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4nHZ2uKeK1gosk

[@freetobewhoibe]

Cheers for the link. I couldn't find it before. A few people have explained it to me now so it all makes sense. Gotta love the way they troll their fans 😂

[@firstborn174]

If you listen to some of their early stuff it is very punk. Check out their song V.A.P. a farewell to their old record label. What was at the beginning was a song to troll their fans. They told them that they had changed their sound after the drummer had a baby. It's called " Your small hands". Actually a pretty catchy pop tune. These guys can do anything!

[@freetobewhoibe]

I am going to check out all of their stuff eventually so I will get to it soon

[@loreadan9838]

About the Title: Normal you think the name of the Band is choosen plain from the english language. But it is a wordplay, from Wikipedia: "Horumonyaki (Japanese: ホルモン焼き) is a kind of Japanese cuisine made from beef or pork offal. (...) 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". Horumonyaki has a reputation for being a "stamina building" food. Although horumon may be beef or pork, pork is more commonly used. (Note: Names vary considerably depending on the source animal and also on regional dialect.) Common horumon items include: gari: esophagus; hatsu: heart*; hatsumoto ("heart-base"): pulmonary artery*; kobukuro: uterus; oppai ("teat"): mammary; sagari: diaphragm; shibire: pancreas; shiro ("white"): intestine; teppō ("rifle"): rectum" And the Name of the Song "Maximum the Hormone" with content about eating and losing weight. What should we think....

[@博信-p5y]

[@yTosic]

Still waiting for more Babymetal reactions 😩👀

[@freetobewhoibe]

I will do another one in a few days 🤘

[@yTosic]

@@freetobewhoibe yeahhh🙌🏻

[@kdmckskdnfjdksnd]

MTH 🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿

[@catschoose1248]

agree with the tool comment!

[@Simon-T.]

Every one of their songs sounds different to the last one, another good track!

[@freetobewhoibe]

I haven't enjoyed a band like this in a long time. I get a charge every time I check out a new one. Top band.

[@Yyp139]

Hmmm

[@zjunk4877]

I usually describe it as making me want to go stomp through my mother's flowerbed. Sorry mom, love you. MTH just makes me want to do stupid shit that makes no sense. They just have some kind of hook you can't describe and don't know how to react to it.

[@freetobewhoibe]

They are the best band I've d in years

[@dt9961]

This is not the full mv

[@freetobewhoibe]

I had a feeling that might be the case but this was all I could find

[@gusmanrudy2921]
