Maximum the Hormone

Biography

Apart from being proud authors of one of the world's most exciting
record titles -- the single Houchou Hasami Cutter Knife Dosu Kiri/Rei
Rei Rei Rei Rei Rei Rei Rei Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma -- Maximum the
Hormone are a Japanese nu-metal lite band with a lot of punk elements
in their music and a general lack of the teenage angst and
self-importance characteristic of true nu-metalers. The group was
formed in 1998 and released its debut album, A.S.A. Crew, the next
year, as well as the EP Hou in 2001, but then the guitarist Sugi and
bassist Key left. The band was down to a duo comprised of screamo
vocalist Daisuke Tsuda and Nao Kawakita, the singing lady drummer, but
soon it returned to being a quartet with the recruitment of Uehara
Futoshi on bass and Nao's brother Ryo Kawakita (Maximum the Ryo) on
guitars and melodic vocals, as well as songwriting duties.

The new lineup released the full indie album Mimi Kajiru the next year,
then a couple of singles and another album, Kusoban, in 2004, already
on a major label, VAP.
This period was marked by their gradual shift from the radical heavy
sound to a softer one, with pop elements added into the mix, and the
change proved successful with the release of the Rokkinpo Goroshi album
(2005), which gained Maximum the Hormone recognition in the national
rock scene and enabled them to sneak their first song into anime
credits -- the track "Rolling1000toon" was used in the AirMaster
series.

In 2006 they made the Oricon Top Ten for
the first time with the song "Koi No Megalover," which scored number
nine, as well as continued their very successful anime expansion: their
tracks "What's Up, People?!" and "Zetsubou Billy" were featured in the
final episodes of Death Note -- the series that even had its manga
version banned by the Chinese government since its overwhelming
popularity presumably exerted an "unhealthy" influence on school kids.
Another series to receive musical support from Maximum the Hormone was
Akagi (the song was named "Akagi" as well), and the album Bu Ikikaesu
(2007) collected all of these tracks and charted for the first time,
reaching a respectable number five position. In 2008 the band even made
an overseas foray, touring the U.S. and Canada with Dropkick Murphys
before switching to a huge domestic tour, preceded by the release of
the Tsume Tsume Tsume/F EP. ~ Alexey Eremenko, All Music Guide
