One of my favorite Japanese bands. This song is cool but doesn’t give a sense for how truly dynamic and wild these guys get; when they start rapidly switching between SOAD-style extreme metal/punk/funk/J-pop/ska/hardcore on their best songs, they get truly wild.
One of my favorite bands! If you want to check out some older song I would recommend “恋のスペルマ”, not sure what the english name is. Its an older song, but the more recent music video shows off the fun side of the band in their live shows. I believe that they do sing about serious topics, but it is always in their fun genre mashup style. I think typically the lead vocals are split pretty evenly between the lead vocalist and the guitarist. But there is even a song where the lead vocalist doesn’t sing at all and the drummer takes over the vocals.
This might be a bit of theorycrafting, but the guitarist, Maximum the Ryo-kun, is the lead songwriter for the band, and controls a lot of their creative direction, which might explain why he is such a focal point for their music.
i’m gonna be sad if you don”t do skies of millennium night by sikth this week
From a composition standpoint the band doll$boxx is an absolute must. Don’t wanna spoil to much, but they do some really creative vocal composition stuff. Most musically involved people fall in love with them. Multiple singers
Maximum the hormone, check out the song yoshu fukushu next. Shows you more of their serious side.
I’m glad this rollercoaster ride made it and that you did enjoy it 😊
I really like the song, it was like a japanese version of system of a down, the vocals were very very similar.
React to volixe – no law
YESSSS PLS MORE OF MAXIMUM THE HORMONE AND SYSTEM OF A DOWN!
Love. M.T.H.
Sounds like repetitive japanese System Of A Down Prison song version.
Great analysis 👌🏻
MTH is my favorite japanese metal band. Since they have signed to Warner Music Japan, a lot of their older videos were taken down. From their official channel, I can suggest you “Yushū Fukushū”, my top 3 song by them. Also the song “A.L.I.E.N.” if you’re looking for some craziness or the song “Maximum the Hormone”.
You can also check out the Youtube Channel of “Projecto Asian Musikko” where you can find all the other MTH music videos and live stuff. “Bu-ikikaesu!!” is my favorite song by them but “Koi no Mega Lover”, “Bikini Sports Ponchin” or “Zetsubō Billy” from their 2007 album are great. From the 2013 album, “Utsukushiki Hitobito no Uta”, “Benjo Sandal Dance” are also great.
Just beware of the copyright issues.
thank you
You should check out another maximum the hormone hits Buikikaesu
DHG “Aphelion Void”
I love how wild this band is all their songs are pretty insane but this one is for sure my favorite
For the multiple singer week, you totally should try “Rosso Sangue” from Intormentataquiete. Pure poetry based avant-garde metal with lyrical singing and screamo, trust me is such an experience.
I know that the translation function is not powerful enough, but if you’re talking for such a long time, you should turn on the translation.
If this channel is supposed to be a community for people who have mastered English, I don’t see why not.
note: This comment was translated with free software, so some parts may be wrong.
If you check out their song VAP, the harsh vocalist is the drummer and the drummer just sings.
Please more do MTH reaction bro.
Ok this is system of a down 100%
The best example of their group vocals might be Chisana Kimi no Te (Your Little Hand), a tongue-in-cheek J-pop/rock song about motherhood. All four are “singing” singing. I highly recommend you check it out to see the breadth of their talent.
Also, be sure to check out Yoshu Fukushu. Lots of vocal and musical styles in one song about being bullied in 8th grade, wrapped in an amazing video.
Daisuke-han isn’t actually the lead vocal, but his role is officially called “the noisy screaming one”. Ryo is the main vocal and he writes all the songs. But he’s very shy so he never speaks in gigs so Daisuke does all the talking.
Welcome to the mad world of MAXIMUM THE HORMONE. Once inside, you’ll never get out.
MtH are the masters of transitions and genre mixing 🤘If you haven’t heard them yet, I recommend checking out their songs Yoshu Fukushu, Maximum the Hormone II -Let’s Talk about Menkata Cottelee, and Buiikikaesu.
For some other amazing Japanese bands with multiple vocalists (or dual vocalists in these cases), I recommend:
Sokoninaru: Gou Ni Moyu, Tenohira De Odoru, and Lament Moment.
A crowd of rebellion: Dystopia, M1917, Ill, and Satellitear.
mildrage: Armeria, and Silent Spear.
Hmmm, I don’t remember you reacting to these guys before… maybe it was before I was a regular. Anyway, this was pretty nutty. I’m somewhat ambivalent. I think as is typical with such “blender” bands I find myself appreciating how much they mix it up and the combination of disparate elements more than any of the individual elements or even whole itself. It’s like, most of the fun comes from not knowing what’s coming next and the surprise at whatever does. One thing I do really dig here is the versatility of the vocals. Reminds me a lot of System of a Down, but maybe with a bit more technical proficiency. I do wish the instrumental aspects were a bit more interesting: too much of it is very generic metalcore riffs. So, yeah, ambivalent but I’m definitely interested at least.
I definitely agree with another commenter who suggested you check out DOLL$BOXX, their track Take My Chance would be a great place to start if you’re interested in compositions with multiple singers. The basic structure of the song is very simple: the minor “Sensitive Female Chord Progression” for pre-chorus and chorus (Am, F, C, G) and an A phrygian dominant vamp for bridges and verses.
Counter-point between the lead singer and the drummer/keyboard player on backing vocals is developed in the pre-chorus then goes full fledged in the chorus with two separate melodies going together to make a unified whole.
If you’re interested you can check out either the official MV here which also shows their humorous side: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mu2z4Uf9Tgc
Or there’s also an excellent live version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiWSW8YkBfs
Please do more Maximum the Hormone. I love these guys!
