Maximum the Hormone 'Shimi feat. ATARASHII GAKKO!' (MV Special Ver.) Music Video

“Shimi” by Maximum the Hormone is a track where the deep low end resonates and the intensity really comes through.

The guitar is tuned to Drop C and built around low-pitched riffs, so with fewer strings to fret, it’s relatively straightforward to grasp.

The key is muting the strings you don’t want to ring; focus on controlling that pressure so you can lock in the rhythm cleanly.

Also, the bridge mute is another element that adds sharpness and punch to the song, so paying attention to fine hand placement and subtle movements can be very effective.

Maximum the Hormone 'Yoshu Fukushu' Music Video

The album “Yoshu Fukushu,” released in July 2013 after roughly six years in the making, keeps Maximum the Hormone’s signature ferocious sound and genre-blurring musicality intact, while taking a further step by placing greater emphasis on the lyrics.

Shifting away from their traditional style of clever rhymes and wordplay, the band pivots to raw Japanese expressions that focus on delivering the message clearly.

The result is a work where overwhelming sonic brutality coexists with the weight of words, as if laying bare the impulses and emotions deep within.

A masterful record that topped the Oricon charts for three consecutive weeks and won the Grand Prize at the 6th CD Shop Awards in 2014, it also features “Benjo Sandal Dance,” which was used as a support theme song for the film “Kick-Ass 2.” It’s a work that resonates especially with those carrying a haze of unresolved feelings or struggling to find the right words to tell someone something important.
