MAXIMUM THE HORMONE
Maximum the hormone is a four member band, which was originally created in 1998 by Daisuke Tsuda and Nawo Kawakita and two other (although no longer present) members - Key and Sugi.
Their first release, A.S.A. Crew was the only full length album released with this lineup. In 2001, once Sugi and Key left the band, they left an opening on guitar and bass, later to be filled by Uehara Futoshi (Ue-chan)Bass) and Ryo Kawakita (Maximum the Ryo)guitar+ some vocals) in late 2001.
The band released three singles, followed by their first release with the new lineup, "Ootori (Hou)" which mainly followed their old lineup.
In 2002, the band made another single, followed by a full length album, "Mimi Kajiru". The album exhibited more of Daisuke's signature screaming vocals, and Ue-chan's loud bass lines.
After their first full album as a band, the band took a more traditional approach to recording, releasing two singles, followed by an album.
Their next album, "Kusoban" in 2004, was closer yet to contrasting heavy music mixed with light pop that has gained them their mainstream attention.
After recording another pair of singles, the band released another album, "Rokkinpo Goroshi". The release caused a surge in their fanbase, as they began to sell out more shows, playing many rock festivals, and eventually releasing a live DVD, Debu Vs Debu. "Rolling1000toon" was featured as an ending theme for the anime series "Air Master" as well.
In the year 2006, the band's breakout into popular culture began with the song "Koi no Megalover", reaching number nine on "the Oricon charts" during the summer of 2006, their first top-ten hit in Japan. The band had three of their songs featured in anime series; "What's up, people?!" and "Zetsubou Billy", are featured as the opening and ending tracks of the "Death Note" anime series[2], and "Akagi" is featured as the ending theme for the "Akagi" anime series.[3]
After the promotion from two singles, and the songs featured on television, Maximum the Hormone released their next album, "Buiikikaesu". The album was a record for the band, debuting at number five on "the Oricon charts" which was their first full album to rank.
