Maximum the Hormone

Maximum the Hormone live up to their name, a full-on punk band with feral, provocative music. Maximum the Hormone was formed in 1998 in the suburbs of Tokyo. The group currently consists of Ryo-kun on guitar, Daisuke-han on screaming vocals, Ue-cyan on bass, and Nao on drums and vocals. Nao, the younger sister of Ryo, plays the drums adroitly and ferociously despite her petite size, and her high voice adds a distinct contrast to the bellows of the front men. Their bass player Ue is also an exceptional musician, and says he is most influenced by Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. His bass style (and his hair), if influenced by Flea, is so only in that it is wild yet solidly cool. However Maximum the Hormone does not play to show off their chops; they seem more bent on venting their feelings and having a good time. Ryo is the group’s main songwriter, and he lists as amongst his inspirations System Of A Down, the Ramones, Mike Patton, NOFX, Suicidal Tendencies and Snot. Maximum the Hormone’s debut mini-album Ootori was released in February 2001 on the indie label Sky Records, owned and operated by fellow punk rockers Nicotine, their friends and family. This early configuration of the band often sang in English, but after some lineup changes they became more Japanese oriented, and adopted their famous katakana (Japanese lettering) logo. While singing mostly in Japanese, their lyrics tend to be lewd, ridiculous and do not in an obvious way make sense. Maximum music is punk based, but also includes funk and other influences, with their mainstays being high energy performances and humor. Over time the band released singles here and there, as well as the indie albums Mimi Kaziru (Ear Biting)in October 2002, and Kuso Ban (**** Disc) in January 2004, but some fans felt that these albums did not fully capture the energy of their life shows, which had made them a popular draw. The band also has a DVD called Debu vs. Debu ( “Fatso against Fatso”). Maximum made their major label debut CD in June 2004, entitled Rockinpo Goroshi, the album art for which featured a drawing of a granny with swinging breasts rocking out on guitar. The band furthered their reputation playing a rambunctious set in August 2006 at the Summer Sonic festival’s beach stage, and today rank as one of Japan’s best punk bands. Other signs that they were reaching a larger audience include their music being used as the ending theme of the animation Akagi and a Portuguese language fansite. In 2007 the band’s career took off in a big way, with their supplying the opening and closing themes (“What’s up, people?” and “Zetsubon Billy” respectively) for the popular animation Death Note. Their album, Bu Iki Kaesu, which contains these songs, debuted at #5 in Oricon, and sold a not too shabby 70,000 CD’s in the first week of release, by far their biggest sales to date.

*PROFILE*
How does the music composed of the essential factors from Loud Rock, Hard Core and Heavy Metal sounds? What does it sound like if growl, horribly fast rap and pop tune come together?
The answer is the sound MAXIMUM THE HORMONE bangs out! The lyrics written by MAXIMUM THE RYOKUN -guitarist and singer- are Japanese that most of the Japanese hardly understand. Songs are full of word games, humor and sarcasms. It sounds funny superficially, but venomous inside!

In Japan, it is rare that this kind of music appear to the major national music chart. But they did.
Their latest Album ranked number 4 on the national sales chart. MTH released 4 albums in their history and every item sold more than 100,000 copies and latest Album sold more than 250,000copies. They are all long selling albums.
On July.2008, they released aggressive, offensive, but catchy and smart masterpieces in one single CD”TSUME TUSME TSUME/”F””. This single was number 2 for their first appearance in the national chart and sold almost 150,000 copies.
In 2006, MTH performed at big international rock festivals in Japan such as SUMMER SONIC where also LINKIN PARK and METALLICA performed.
MTH performed at PUNK SPRING07 and SUMMER SONIC07. Billing for PUNK SPRING07 included NOFX, NEW FOUND GLORY, and JIMMY EAT WORLD, and for SUMMER SONIC07, Black Eyed Peas, THE OFFSPRING, Gwen Stefani, SUM41, Avenged Sevenfold, Fall out boy, Enter Shikari and more. MTH performed at 10,000 cap stage and audience entry went under restriction due to over capacity.

Live shows they performed throughout a year counted well over 100.
The tickets for all the venues had sold out. Although MTH can sell out bigger venues, MTH firmly finds 3000 standing capacities the best to reach and connect with the audience. Today, because there are 21,000~24,000 fans striving to buy tickets each show, the lottery is taking place for them to buy tickets each time and this is the only way to keep it fair for everyone to come join the show.

In 2008,MTH has been touring with Enter Shikari in January. MTH will be bonding with many more international artists ever strongly.

Genre: Hard Rock & Metal
Artist: Maximum The Hormone

Maximum The Hormone adalah sebuah band dengan gabungan aliran pop-punk,nu-metal,funk dan hardcore.Aliran band ini mungkin akan mengiatkan kita dengan band seperti System of A Down, Red Hot Chili Peppers dan The Ramones.

Band ini terbentuk pada tahun 1998 di Hachiojo (daerah pinggiran Tokyo) dengan formasi awal:
Daisuke - vocals
SUGI - guitar
KEY - bass
Nao - drums

Album pertama mereka adalah A.S.A Crew,yang masih berada d bawah naungan indie label Sky Records.Waktu itu Daisuke hanya menulis lagu dalam bahasa Inggris,dan nama "Maximum The Hormone" juga masih ditulis dalam huruf latin.Semua itu berubah setelah KEY dan SUGI keluar dari band ini pada tahun 1999.

Ketika sedang mencari member baru untuk mengisi kekosongan band ini,Nao teringat dengan adik laki-lakinya,Ryo,yang sudah bermain gitar sejak SMP dan juga bisa bernyanyi dengan bagus.Dari sanalah akhirnya band ini memiliki 2 vocalist.Daisuke lebih fokus pada 'screaming'dan bagian rap.Dan Ryo pada bagian melodi.

Kemudian,Ue bergabung,sebagai bassist.Setelah perubahan formasi ini,band ini memutuskan untuk menggunakan lirik lagu dan nama band mereka dalam katakana untuk menunjukkan bahwa perubahan terjadi dengan pergantian member band.

Pada bulan Agustus 2000,band ini merilis single pertama mereka "Bullpen Catcher's Dream" dan setahun kemudian mini album pertama mereka "Otori" dirilis.Album "Mimi Kajiru" dirilis pada tahun 2002 dan cover CD didesain oleh Man*Ga Tarou,yang sejak itu terus mendesain cover CD mereka.Kemudian single "Enzui Tsuki Waru" dirilis.Dan pada tahun 2003, lagu "Rolling1000toon" digunakan sebagai ending anime "Air Master".
Dari sinilah mereka mulai dikenal publik.

Setelah Album "Funban" dirilis pada tahun 2004,band ini bergabung dengan label mayor VAP.Single pertama mereka yang dirilis dibawah label VAP adalah "Rokkuban furewase/minoreba rokku".Dan akhirnya album mayor pertama mereka "Rokkinpo KOroshi" dirilis.Kemudian band ini mengadakan tur keliling jepang "Rokkinpo Koroshi Tour" di 47 tempat berbeda.

Pada tahun 2005,"Menkatta Kotteri",program radio Maximum The Hormone dimulai di BayFM (hee..program radio Teru-GLAY disini juga kan >.<)
Lalu,lagu mereka "Akagi" dari single "Zawa...zawa...za...zawa......zawa" digunakan untuk ending anime "Toupai Densettu Akagi ~ Yami ni mai furita tensai~"
yang ditayangkan dari oktober 2005 sampai maret 2006.

Single mayor keempat mereka "Koi no Mega Lover" dirilis pada tahun 2006.single ini berhasil meraih posisi 9 di Oricon charts.Ini sungguh bagus untuk band baru ini,karena ini adalah pertama kalinya single mereka berada di top 10 Oricon charts.

Pada bulan februari 2007,"What's Up people?!"dan"Zetsubou Billy" dijadikan opening dan ending anime "DEATH NOTE".Mereka yakin dengan satu hal:
"Jika musik mereka cocok dengan sebuah anime dan itu adalah DEATH NOTE.Kontribusi mereka di OST anime ini akan menambah popularitas mereka"(hoo..pantes di lirik lagu Zetsubou Billy ada "shinigami" ma "KIRA"nya)

Maret 2007 tadi Maximum The Hormone merilis album terbaru mereka "Buiikikaesu",yang memuat lagu Zetsubou Billy dan What's Up People?! didalamnya.Album ini terdiri dari 14 tracks (including bonus track).

Maximum The Hormone sudah membuktikan bahwa dengan periode singkat mereka memiliki banyak fans di jepang dan juga diluar jepang.
Sejak Maximum The Hormone menambah kualitas musik mereka disetiap album mereka.
