The joke is that Winnie upload (Japan's Napster) is and has been defunct for years. The meta theme is a band going from their roots and playing from their hearts, to getting big and selling out -- shilling for any irrelevant cause as their music gets lamer and tamer, instead of sticking to their true selves musically, and maybe addressing something with meaning -- like the nuclear fallout they alluded to right before the first section ended. They will have messages like this from time to time, but always cloaked in humor. In the end, Nao the drummer was scolding Daisuke the singer about scaring away all the kids over a dead and defunct file sharing program. Told him he looked like his mother when he gets all huffy. They have a lot of great songs. My very favorite is Yoshu Fukushu. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJaxZpimarKlmrs Beware the copyright gods with Maximum the Hormone.

Too bad the comments are turned off on that video. I appreciate the background info. Awesome band!

"I''ll be a pirate" followed by "We need to stop Winnie" is hilarious.

[@user-nd3ks4mi7b]

The irony. I chuckled when he said that.

[@nebpr0]

If you reacted to BAND-MAID, this is one of their favorite band to listen to. Maximum The Hormone has been around since 1998. AKANE the drummer of B-M was inspired by Nao of MTH to play drums.

[@osierpe]

Great reaction. MTH is a fantastic band. Next reaction "Yoshu Fukushu"

[@christopherjohnferrer3771]

Next Maximum the Hormone "Hungry Pride", they're the Japanese System of a Down x Weezer. 😎🔥🎸🎌✌

hell yeah

[@glenkelley6799]

Great reaction. MTH is just totally another thing altogether. Winny upload was like Napster in Japan, not a thing today. The song is loosely a song about a metal band selling out and becoming a pop band (last part). The last section where they're talking is the drummer telling her brother that winny is not a thing anymore and that now's he's starting to look like their mother (the picture in the lower left at that point). Most of their videos are always surprising, mixing different genres and other things. Word of warning, they are strict on blocks. Interesting fact, Akane from Band-Maid started drumming because of Nao the drummer in this band.

[@rodb.9883]

Nao (drums) was talking to Daisuke (growler/singer) not her brother Ryo (guitar). She's always teasing Daisuke about how he looks like or acts like his mother at the end of some of their MVs.

[@glenkelley6799]

@@rodb.9883 Thanks for correction

[@dedingsda]

Yeah, the first time MTH might be a little bit overwhelming :D Great reaction, do more of them you won't regret it !

[@sakidickerson]

"what is winny upload are we supposed to hate it?" 😂😂😂😂

[@Shiroar]

I recommend Yoshu Fukushu! It’s my favourite song (not just by Maximum the Hormone) and really shows off their amazing abilities with transitions and mixing genres.

[@welshyyyyy]

Saw them live last year in London, they were awesome

[@firstborn174]

You are in for a wild ride with M.T.H., you will start craving more.

[@faceplantor5647]

Reminds me a bit of the early punk/ thrash days in the early 80’s👊🏽⚡️

[@theodorosgalazoulas9933]

I've known Maximum the Hormone for quite a long time (2-3 years) but never really digged it since recently. They made a song for a dragon ball movie (called 'F') so that's how I first found 'em. I love their music especially the bassist 😋. First time listening to this song, I can't believe they don't upload songs like this on Spotify. anyways thanks for the video ♥😃

[@senfood]

Look at that hand on his face. "Oh, I think I love them."

[@maximushaughton2404]

Got this explanation from a comment in another channel's reaction to this song: The end of the song is like three jokes in one. They are singing about stopping Winny, a Napster like program in Japan that people uploaded music for free. It is also some heavy grade trolling of bands who change their style and image to appease the record companies, hence the drastic change and the bad lip syncing at the end. At the very end, the singer starts ranting about Winny, but then the drummer (who is the guitar players sister) tells him that Winny isn't even around anymore, so why are they singing about it? Then she tells him he's scaring the kids, and she says to stop making "that face" because he looks like his mother when he does. They then flash a picture of his mom on the screen and as it fades away, he is yelling something like "why do you need to bring my mother into this?" This is brilliant, and once you get the ending, it makes them even more amazing! Another band and song for you, that most will not ask for as they are not really known, but you may like after your comment. Galmet - The Matters Anthem Oh!! And you still need to do Broken By the Scream Yuzukingdom - Pandemic And the band behind Yuzukingdom, with the singer they had that's now back with the band, after a few years apart BLOOD STAIN CHILD -FREEDOM-

[@BlackMetalButterfly]

You gotta do more!

[@Socrates_1775]

12hrs since you posted this video. 113 likes and 0 dislikes! That should tell you something about this band 😁. More MTH please! Songs: Yoshu Fukushu (You would love this one) Hungry Pride (You would love this one too) Maximum the Hormone (You will love all of their songs!) Hell, just go to their channel, close your eyes and pick one 🤘😁🤘

[@JuanLopez-qx5zz]

definitely these two - especially yoshu fukushu

[@Socrates_1775]

Oh and another tidbit, if you've ever watched the Anime Death Note, Maximum The Hormone did the second opening and the season 2 ending songs for the show. They have official videos for each song 🤘😁🤘

[@JwLinberg7788]

MTH song is always full of surprise (freeze ur mind) for 1st time listener... weird but still have interesting sound .🤘😜🤘

[@timgove5337]

That my friend, is how Art is done Maximum is in English. Hormone is a pun, obv hormones, but same pronunciation as Horumon, cooked/bbq’d entrails, Offal, sweetbreads in Japanese. They are hilarious... Actually basically contemporaries of System of a Down from mid-late 90s, may have developed style in parallel without influencing each other... And of course, after they went from underground to big budget effects to huge production to whiny about Winny like Lars, then you love their message, and pirate their stuff. The gods of Irony are livin large on Lars’s fans...

[@oyvindknustad]

You'll love these guys. Yoshu Fukushu next

[@trigore]

i love Maximun the hormone. Great reaction

[@berserker2551]

Me too. Maximum The Hormone was my first Metal Band

[@wolfhound150]

Some other songs of theirs are What's Up People, Yoshu Fukushu and Zetsubo Billy.

[@joyfulsimpledrawing5871]

Good reaction my friend, There are New Lovebites Live Video from zeep diver city. Next react to Lovebites - Holy War(live) or Lovebites - Swan song(live)

[@kylemthunder]

Dude, check out Don't Light My fire by Otoboke Beaver. Different to this but not a million miles away, certainly crazy.

[@Socrates_1775]

Oh and these guys are ultimate trolls! This song trolls the pop music scene. They have a song that pranks/trolls their fans and a song that trolls/making a FU statement to a few haters! Keep rocking 🤘😁🤘

[@Shiroar]

Please react to their song Yoshu Fukushu!! It’s my absolute favourite song (not just by MtH). It really shows that they’re masters of transitions and genre mixing.

[@jameshdog5759]

Love this band. Check out more!

[@NewAeonWarlord]

with this and other videos I kinda get a feeling that Nao and Daisuke have a special kind of relationship with a lot of funny poking at each other and all that. I mean: Those two were the ones who founded the band back in the day :)

[@AngelLWJ]

Still waiting more unlucky morpheus bro , reacts to 《dignity of spirit》please!🤘🏼

[@BlackHeart1216]

Please react to Ningen Isu next! They're a japanese metal band that's been grinding it out since the 80s and only recently started getting some game, their first international tour was only in February.

[@michaelmusson3593]

I didn't think it was possible for me to enjoy anything with rap in it being a product form the seventies. Well I was wrong I own two of their cds. I really can't explain what I like about them except the energy is beyond words. I just like the cacophony of sound mixed with more soothing phrases

[@harrypotter5810]

MTH is Akane (drummer from band maid )favourite band. Nao (drummer from mth)inspire her to become a drummer 😁

[@Greg-om2hb]

Let’s get the name right: “Maximum *THE* Hormone. Also, I second the recommendation for Otoboke Beaver!

[@mykelvelasco244]

Do more Maximum the Hormone please.

[@lurkmerchant]

Check out an American punk, metal, reggae multi-genre band called Bad Brains. They are one of the most underrated bands but influenced bands like rage against the machine, Korn (some of my favorites as well). I think you'll love them.

[@pratfallpratt8998]

I like to think that Maximum the Hormone was formed when System of a Down was abducted by manga writers and fed a fuckton of speedballs. Seriously though, they're a ton of fun. I was actually due to go see them back in 2010 (I think) but then their drummer got pregnant so they went on hiatus.

[@hiawatha.g]

I'm sitting here laughing my ass off watching you watch this. Some other commenters already explained it so I won't repeat. Just want to add one comment: Miku and Akane from Band-Maid list MTH as one of their favorite bands. Go figure.

[@user-ez3nj3ul2t]

More MTH pls❗🙌

[@megalondonkleuter]

Welcome to the MTH rabbit hole, you are in for the ride, but be carefull for the copy-strikes.

need a replacement for Monster or Red bull..... there you go

The japanese music scene is something else isn't it. The western world honestly doesn't appreciate it as much as they should. Band maid is my favorite but these guys are close

Nice react bro! Can u react to BUCKETHEAD - WE ARE ONE? respect from Brazil!

[@subidorload]

Ha ha ha.... the anti winnie video. This band is so crazy i remember a years ago i listen to whats up people and then exploded my mind with their albums.

Sokoninaru could be right up your alley as well, give them a try: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJ2Xi2icabaqe7s

[@danielaroldan3738]

MTH are unique👍

[@redfish337]

You should be aware that despite their chaotic nature, they're under a label that cares. This one has a lot of reactions up so I guess it's old enough they've let it go. But in general this is going to be a band you'll just want to listen to on your own time without uploading here.

[@TimotatoReacts]

Thanks for the heads up!

[@redfish337]

@@TimotatoReacts Other stuff with reactions may be okay- you should be checking for reaction videos every time with Japanese groups on major labels anyway. But pretty sure someone got sniped for MTH a few months ago so safety first... definitely go with the stuff with many reactions already up if you ever decide to do anything else by them.

[@christopherjohnferrer3771]

Noise exactly on time /,,/

funny how you'll saying you'll pirate the song about piracy

[@rolandkarlsson7072]

ha ha ha .... this is just so fun to listen to again. So, why not just go on pirating it? You could use Winnie. Or, maybe not as it is not working anymore. BTW - just a thought - maybe pirating is not all that koscher if you area reactor. Just saying :)
