It’s a track that was also released as a single and was specially written for the anime Airmaster.

Because it was intended for the anime, it was apparently made under a “no death growls” restriction.

As you can tell from the full version, perhaps as a way to blow off that frustration, there’s unabashed shouting in the C melody section that doesn’t play in the anime.

With a spirit akin to rock upsets, its biggest appeal is the relentlessly aggressive lyrics shouting, “Make an uncool life shine with rock!!” Paired with a heavy yet poppy track, both the words and the tone come together into a punk number that epitomizes Maximum the Hormone.

Perhaps as an homage to a certain major visual-kei band, this has become a new live staple featuring a system called the “vaginal jump.” The sight of tens of thousands of festival-goers bouncing in unison is nothing short of overwhelming.

The lyrics are crammed with dirty jokes, but according to Maximum the Ryo-kun, it’s “a pure love song.”

Speaking of Nagisa no Sindbad, it’s Pink Lady’s hit song released in 1977.

Here’s a cover of it, included on Maximum the Hormone’s second single, “Niku Koppu.” Right from the start it’s arranged in Hormone’s style, making you want to headbang.

Nao’s part in the middle has a Hawaiian flavor, and despite being a short track, it’s a song with an impressive range of highs and lows.

This one is a bit unusual for Horumon—a pretty straight-up punk number.

One of its charms is the sing-along part that’s sure to fire up the crowd live.

It’s a track that boldly and refreshingly proclaims a youthful resolve to shake up the world with rock.

Bassist Ue-chan in all his glory! A rhythmic number with razor-sharp, clanking slap bass shining through.

The lyrics are a bold declaration of war against those who flaunt their power, carrying a strong message that truly embodies what a rock band is all about.
