Love in AmericaMakishimamu Za Horumon
Maximum the Hormone is a four-piece rock band that keeps fans fired up with aggressive live performances showcasing a loud, hard-hitting rock sound.
Their track “Koi no America,” which was first released exclusively at “Hara-Peko Favoritism Member Stores” — eateries where fans work — became a hot topic for its unprecedented rollout: the song title and lyrics were kept under wraps before release, and there was no general distribution.
Its arrangement evokes various styles of Western rock while cranking up the energy with Maximum the Hormone’s signature ensemble.
It’s a superb rock tune that invites you to listen while imagining which bands it’s paying homage to.
