Premeditated revengeMakishimamu Za Horumon
From the unnaturally sweet and gentle opening to the devastating twist that doesn’t betray expectations—simply masterful! The intense, inimitable, and utterly unique worldview is nothing short of breathtaking.
With eye-catching elements like the music video’s manga-style direction, there’s plenty to take in, so be sure to check every detail.
Sperm of LoveMakishimamu Za Horumon
A track included on the album “Yoshu Fukushu,” released in July 2013.
It skillfully fuses elements of heavy metal, punk, and hardcore, while weaving in catchy phrases.
The lyrics center on a man’s fantasies, making extensive use of distinctive turns of phrase and metaphors.
On the band’s official YouTube channel, a “how to groove” video for this song has been posted, and at live shows it’s become standard for fans to enjoy the performance while doing the dance featured in that video.
Song of the Depressingly/Beautiful PeopleMakishimamu Za Horumon
Above all, the lyrics are incredibly deep! It’s a track that, based on his own experiences, confronts the theme of depression head-on—so much so that Maximum the Ryo-kun declared, “No one’s allowed to say Hormone’s lyrics are meaningless anymore.” The blend of the poppy chorus and the heavy sections is exquisite.

Despair BillyMakishimamu Za Horumon
One of Hormone’s signature songs.
Perhaps thanks to the anime tie-in, it became a massive hit.
Some say the style doesn’t feel very “Hormone-like,” but in a good way it showcases an uncharacteristically straightforward approach from them.
Blade length: 200,000,000 centimetersMakishimamu Za Horumon
Released in October 2022, this track was used as the ending theme for episode 3 of the anime Chainsaw Man.
It features lyrics that brilliantly capture the anime’s world and an intense sound, sprinkled with dark elements such as blood-soaked battles and confrontations with devils.
A highlight is that it even includes Aki Hayakawa’s signature line from the show.
With shout-style vocals and heavy guitar riffs, it’s a standout song recommended not only for anime fans but also for listeners seeking hard-hitting music.
Maximum the Hormone II ~Let’s Talk About Firm, Rich Noodles from Here On~Makishimamu Za Horumon
This song is the long-awaited release that the hungry fans had been eagerly awaiting for both a new work and a live comeback, after the screamy, noisy one (the vocalist) Daisuke-han suspended activities due to a severe cervical herniated disc.
It was released with a manga—actually, in a format where a CD comes as a bonus with a book.
This track is packed with Ryo-kun the guitarist’s response to the hungry fans who said he was better back when he was chubbier.
What’s up, people?!Makishimamu Za Horumon
Many of you may have heard “What’s up, people?!” since it was used as the opening theme for the anime DEATH NOTE.
It’s their third major single and is also included on the album “Bubukikaesu.” At concerts, it’s a staple that kicks off with intense headbanging.
Many of Maximum the Hormone’s songs are pretty hard to sing, but this one should be more manageable since the lyrics repeat the same words.
