This song is included on the single “Tsumetometotsume/‘F’,” released in July 2008.

It reached No.

2 on the Oricon chart and stayed ranked for 47 weeks.

Known for its aggressive yet catchy sound, it’s also very popular live.

The song delves into the darker sides of society and humanity, featuring provocative lyrics.

Highly recommended for fans of metal and hardcore punk!

「F」Makishimamu Za Horumon

[MAD] “F” Maximum the Hormone × DRAGON BALL Z [Re-upload]

In this song themed around Dragon Ball’s Frieza, Maximum the Hormone’s unique worldview explodes onto the scene! The lyrics capture Frieza’s cold-blooded nature and power, while the intense sound—skillfully blending elements of loud rock, hardcore punk, and metal—leaves a strong impression.

Released in July 2008, the track gained attention when it was used as the battle song in the 2015 film Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection “F.” It’s also fascinating that Akira Toriyama reportedly came up with the idea to revive Frieza in the movie after being inspired by this song.

It’s a must-listen not only for Maximum the Hormone fans but also for anime lovers!

Maximum the Hormone “Zetsubou Billy (Tsume Tsume Tsume)” / “Bu-Ikikaesu!!” Music Videos

The lead track included as the first song on the 2007 release “Buiikikaesu.” It’s a fan favorite among Hormone listeners and a staple at their live shows.

It’s moderately loud, easy to get into, and unleashes a storm of headbanging.

The song’s tagline—“Get killed by Buiikikaesu.”—was extreme yet brilliant.

This track also features Nao’s vocals, which make the chorus smoothly accessible, turning it into a deeply meaningful song I’d recommend even to people who aren’t fond of Hormone.

Characterized by the heavy guitar riffs and complex rhythmic development that are quintessential Maximum the Hormone, this track was included on the single “Ki-Se-I Rush,” released in June 2024, and was also chosen as the theme song for the film Confession.

Despair BillyMakishimamu Za Horumon

[Maximum the Hormone] Despair Billy [Tried playing it]

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.
