Maximum the Hormone

Apart from getting proud authors of 1 from the world’s most exciting record game titles — the solitary Houchou Hasami Cutter Blade Dosu Kiri/Rei Rei Rei Rei Rei Rei Rei Rei Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma — Optimum the Hormone certainly are a Japan nu-metal lite music group with a whole lot of punk components within their music and an over-all insufficient the teenage angst and self-importance feature of true nu-metalers. The group was created in 1998 and released its debut recording, A.S.A. Team, the next 12 months, along with the EP Hou in 2001, but the guitarist Sugi and bassist Important left. The music group was right down to a duo made up of screamo vocalist Daisuke Tsuda and Nao Kawakita, the performing woman drummer, but quickly it came back to being truly a quartet using the recruitment of Uehara Futoshi on bass and Nao’s sibling Ryo Kawakita (Optimum the Ryo) on guitars and melodic vocals, in addition to songwriting duties. The brand new lineup released the entire indie recording Mimi Kajiru another year, a handful of singles and another recording, Kusoban, in 2004, currently on a significant label, VAP. This era was proclaimed by their continuous shift in the radical heavy audio to some softer one, with pop components added in to the mix, as well as the transformation proved successful using the release from the Rokkinpo Goroshi record (2005), which obtained Optimum the Hormone identification in the nationwide rock picture and enabled these to sneak their initial tune into anime credits — the monitor “Rolling1000toon” was found in the AirMaster series. In 2006 they produced the Oricon TOP for the very first time using the tune “Koi No Megalover,” which have scored number nine, in addition to continued their extremely successful anime enlargement: their monitors “WHAT’S GOING ON, People?!” and “Zetsubou Billy” had been featured in the ultimate episodes of Loss of life Take note — the series that also acquired its manga edition banned with the Chinese language federal government since its frustrating reputation presumably exerted an “harmful” impact on school children. Another series to get musical support from Optimum the Hormone was Akagi (the track was called “Akagi” aswell), as well as the recording Bu Ikikaesu (2007) gathered many of these songs and charted for the very first time, reaching a good number five placement. In 2008 the music group even produced an abroad foray, touring the U.S. and Canada with Dropkick Murphys before switching to an enormous home tour, preceded from the release from the Tsume Tsume Tsume/F EP.
