MUSICIANS REACT Yoshu Fukushu - Maximum The Hormone

[@dicodec]

We have just released our new Maximum the Hormone cover! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHLKd4BjlJudp9E 😁

[@schelin1447]

Nao is the biggest inspiration for Akane of BAND-MAID...just a little fun fact.

[@lordfifthissth8258]

OH YES, Band Maid is awesome. Definately check out Puzzle (Live) from them, one of my favorite songs by them.

[@dicodec]

Nice! Wrote it down. We have three band maid videos coming out. One being tomorrow. We did a live one too, and to me they sound better live. - Alan

[@bwestacado9643]

This is my favorite song by them, it's so good. Daisuke is one of my favorite vocalists, I really like his flow. Anytime I hear Ollie from Archspire, I immediately think of Daisuke lol. The whole band is phenomenal and each song is flawless. There isn't any part of their songs I don't like

[@1989ry05uke]

"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.

[@dicodec]

Oh wow, Ryo must have had it rough. Look at him now! Thanks for the insight. -Eric

[@Bob-fb1ok]

And for years, they stopped performing this song live.

[@dicodec]

Nice! Those are the translated lyrics in that part of the song?

[@iioka_]

Dicodec Yes. but I trancelated so I don't know if it's correct.

[@dicodec]

Ah I understand

[@Shiroar]

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 🖤

[@dicodec]

Yeah, it's pretty crazy what these guys can do. Every single song just makes you feel good. They always Illicit some kind of emotion out of you.

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

[@dicodec]

Oh wow, thanks for the insight on that.

[@yuudikleonata1148]

Hahahahah

[@keithakerley5460]

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!

[@dicodec]

That is so awesome to hear! We just did an EP review last night from 2004 and it was awesome

[@cvlztn]

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

[@dicodec]

Ah I see, my bad I messed that one up. Thank you!!

[@bravestarr2001]

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😊

[@dicodec]

Yes we are absolutely addicted to MTH!!

[@stitches1110]

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.

[@dicodec]

Ahh that makes sense -Alan

[@KristoferAsplund]

I think you're thinking about "Koi no sperm" (another great and fun track). The way I've understood it, this one is about bullying. Ryo was bullied in school and this song is about the different emotions that put you thru and how that formed him as a person. So you were right to trust your instincts, this is a more serious song.

[@jae_lee-]

6:11 this breakdown is absolutely insane

[@dicodec]

Right!

[@uraniumdioxideperoxide]

This is easily one of my fav songs from MTH

[@dicodec]

I don't blame you it is a banger!

[@welshyyyyy]

Saw them live last year, outstanding

[@vernonchristianmarquez5664]

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

[@markpahate7019]

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.

[@Vitericus1]

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!

[@dicodec]

That sounds pretty epic! Must find haha -Eric

[@sduffman7015]

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 👍 🦊.

[@dicodec]

Again thank you so much! You take a music appreciation class? Wish I had done something like that. Glad we could help with that chief!

[@wonko7the7sane]

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

[@markpahate7019]

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

[@dicodec]

Dang, poor Ryo 😢 that makes perfect sense though. Thanks for the info! 🤘 -Eric

[@basaramasara4797]

Kowai - scary Kawaii - cute, adorable

[@dicodec]

I'm sorry I butchered that. I guess I'm not as much of a weeb as I thought...😢 -Eric

[@tamami777]

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.

[@dicodec]

Oh wow!

[@ramburt9777]

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

[@jerwinmacabodbod9535]

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

[@dicodec]

Interesting. Now that you mention it...🤔

[@jerwinmacabodbod9535]

Same vibe with Coheed and cambria's - The light and the glass... Only the intro though...

[@katarinanokami2718]

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)

[@dicodec]

Ahhh thanks for the insight. Love it. The bassist was absent for this recording, but he will be in the next ones! - Alan

[@solemnvulgar1022]

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

[@dicodec]

What the heck is a Pogchamp? Thanks though Solem you are a real one ❤

[@NewAeonWarlord]

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.

[@NewAeonWarlord]

they pick it up at 1 AND I think.

[@dicodec]

I think Alan and I were talking about their headbanging being in slow motion and the music being in normal time. That threw us off. Off time was probably the wrong word to use. -Eric

[@NewAeonWarlord]

@@dicodec aaah right, OK :)

[@Near_Drive]

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)

[@dicodec]

Nice! Yup, that is the next band we need to check out for sure.

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

[@JohnnyO84]

Not sure if you guys have been told already but if you plan to react to more MTH songs, go to websites other than KZbin to watch them. A lot of their songs aren’t on KZbin 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.

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 ;).

[@dicodec]

We finished up recording some Band Maid videos we will be releasing them this weekend. We've got some BABYMETAL videos in the works! -Eric

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" :)

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

[@dicodec]

Oh for this one they were going in slow motion and I was trying to match their headbanging while listening to the beat. That is what threw me off haha
