There is a lot of meaning to this song, but it requires you to understand a bit about Japanese culture and how the music industry over there works. "Alien" is basically a satire of the music industry, the metal genre and even themselves. It starts out with them performing in a warehouse with shoddy equipment, as most metal bands start out, their sound is raw and their style is unapologetic. They sing about the decline of society, people suffering, lies and propaganda in politics, etc. In the next sequence they now have CGI video and better gear. As metal bands get more popular, their sound usually gets softer, they stop yanking chains and get more mainstream to get more fans and popularity since you can't get on TV with vulgar and anti-government lyrics. Many metal bands that started out wild and sang about the worse part of things usually mellowed out and "straightened up" to become popular. They sold out, basically. They lost their identity to become mainstream, and play the same pop-rock kiddie music as any other band. The last part of the song with the anime girl and the kids represents this. Winny was a p2p file sharing software in Japan, much like Napster, where a lot of people shared music and albums amongst themselves. Also, much like Napster, the music industry went to war to abolish the platform, and popular bands jumped on the bandwagon, they started vocally asking their fans not to use Winny and buy their albums in stores instead, some of them even made songs to this effect. Winny was shut down permanently many years ago. The argument with Nao and Daisuke at the end is about this. Daisuke screams at the kids to stop using Winny, and Nao tells him Winny has been gone for ages, these kids don't even know what Winny is, and they could be saying "STOP" to a lot of other things, and at the end Nao tells him he looks like his mother...
@@undead3442 I feel like dir en grey was more mainstream in the beginning of their music, then they got tired of that style and got heavier . Then around 2011 they went for a more expiremental sound they had played with in earlier songs and stuck with that. I don't think they sold out, cause they still have heavy songs on their albums and their lyrics still make you think. They've just become more proggy as time went on.
The ending is so funny, I wish someone would have translated the ending, so I will try: Daisuke: We will never forgive Winny!! No Winny!! Nao: Dai-chan! Dai-chan! Nobody uses Winny anymore, and there are a lot of other things that we need to stop...So yelling in such a loud voice...and look, all the kids have left. Daisuke: But there can't be anymore uploads.... Nao: I know. But there's still one kid here, and she looks like she's going to cry... Daisuke: You think so too, don't you?? Nao: No, no, no, there's no way she understands. The last kid has now left... Daisuke: You also hate Winny, right??? Nao: I told you, nobody uses Winny! Talking over each other. Daisuke: What?! Nao: Stop doing Mitsue's face. (his mom) Daisuke: You can talk bad about me! (but not my mom I think is implied)
Winny was a P2P file sharing site (like Napster). It was popular in Japan in the early 2000’s. The joke is that they are complaining about something that is out of date. Nao (The drummer) is saying as much to the Daisuke (vocalist) and saying that he scared all the kids away
“horumon” is japanese street food . It 's guts meat BBQ. In Osaka throwing away is “horu”. Things is “mon”. So part of beef which suppose to throw away called “horumon”. “horumon”sound same as Hormone. So it's tripped meaning
There's a lot I love about this song/video but my favourites for sure are Nao (the drummer) playing in a wedding dress and Daisuke (the singer) asking the little girl at the end if she feels the same way he does about Winny needing to be stopped and Nao replying that the girl doesn't even understand him.
D: ''We will never forgive Winny, got it! Anything but Winny!'' N:''Daichi- Daichi- Nobody uses Winny anymore, there's a bunch of other things that need to be stopped.'' N:''And don't raise your voice, all the kids are leaving-'' D:''Yeah well. I won't let them upload anymore..'' N:''Yeah, I get it. But there's only one kid left now, and she looks as if she's about to cry.'' D:''You think so to, don't you?'' N:''No no no. She has no idea. --And now the last one has left as well.'' D:''You hate Winny too, don't you?'' N:''Like I said! No one uses Winny anymore.'' N:''Stop it with that Mitsue face.'' D:''What?'' N:''Stop it with that Mitsue face.'' D:''It's not my fault!'' (I can't make it out entirely.)
In a good world there would be a constant stream of first time reactions to MTH, thanks for doing some great recent reaction vids to this awesome band.
Basically in Maximum the hormone Live are usually circle pits or circle mosh pit, and something Japanese style 2-step dance.Walls of Death is not the Maximum the hormone style.
We are truly fortunate to live in a world that has MTH, BAND-MAID, SCANDAL, Silent Siren, Shonen Knife (among others) all making music at this point in time. 日本のロック音楽は素晴らしいです。
Mess you up good, right? They throw in everything and blend them all together, and yet they still sound good somehow. Can never expect what’s coming next 😆
This tracks so ridiculously good and funny at the same time! Thanks for reacting to all these MTH tracks, always loads of fun watching people take their whackyness in :D If you want to try some more Japanese music I've got a few suggestions: Take My Chance by DOLL$BOXX - a really fun band that melds pop, electro, rock, metal. Brilliant singing, really catchy song writing and a fun genre mash up. Black Pentagram by Unlucky Morpheus - a melodic speed metal band that incorporates a violin and awesome singing (same singer as DOLL$BOXX) Angreifer (Live) by Unlucky Morpheus Namahage by Ningen Isu - big beefy sludgy doomy metal, loads of groove and tasty changes
@@dicodec Basically, yeah. Winny was the Napster of Japan. When this video was made Winny was already defunct, that was the basis of the conversation at the end of the song. The drummer, Nao, was explaining that Winny was no longer and kind of why are we singing about this? Then she told him that he sounded like his mother when he complained.
Yeah, you won't ever get board with MTH, haha! It's like listening to 10 bands in one. Next up, "Let's Talk About Menkata Cottelee" I'll sub just to see that!
Dicodec Context for Menkata cottelee: Ryo-kun (the guitarist) got very sick due to poor diet and no exercise, and lost a huge amount of weight to become healthy. Some fans “complained” about the new healthy Ryo-kun, since his outsider rebel fat crazy guy image was part of his appeal, and wanted the old “fat ryo-kun” again. So menkata cottelee is a “f-you” song written to those “fans” who don’t want the best for Ryo-kun and his health
I just fucking love your reaction hahaha u got a new sub. Try reacting to BABYMETAL (NOT GIMME CHOCOLATE, it’s not the best option to get into BABYMETAL world) maybe road of resistance or megitsune
Thank you! I've actually heard some BabyMetal before including Gimmie Chocolate. We ended up going with Road to Resistance. Video will be released soon. -Eric
My Japanese is not so good, and I don't know what Winny is--not sure it's even important--but at the end, the drummer is telling them to stop getting pissed about Winny because there's other things to stop...and, anyway, the last kid is going to cry, so stop.
@@dicodec It could be. I've lived in Japan a long time, and people here are, in general, very adverse to file-sharing platforms like Napster. The audience for Japanese music is so small and specialized, I think they really feel the pressure to be against pirating. Another fun Japanese band I'd recommend is a bit older than MTH, is Rize. More on the rock-rap-nu-metal side of things (and now in jail unfortunately). Great live energy.
Maximum the hormone is slang for using steroids from people I’ve known that have used. I have no idea about what it might mean in the context of Japan though.
you keep comparing this band with rage against the machine, system of a down etc etc and they sound NOTHING like them they're totally different in their own lane. I am old enough to remember when System of a down came out and people were saying stuff like ....they remind me a bit of Slayer and Black Sabbath, Snot etc etc. so were they stealing stealing their sound too???? just asking dudes
I was so ready to go through this series you guys have about my favourite band in the world..... But you racist------ F????. Do not deserve music this good, stick to country.
Ok wow... sorry i was at a bad place. I know lots about this band and sometimes it gets to my head. Love to just have a chat about that. But i was over the line and i apologise.
We have just released our new Maximum the Hormone cover! ua-cam.com/video/rAgFM-_6jqo/v-deo.html 😁
This is about an illegal pirating website called winnyupload. Stop, winny. Stop

same shit happened with Dir En Grey

That editing part where they multiplied really reminded me of soad but they have a huge twist on it AND THEY MAKE IT SO MYCH BETTER
Same here! Also totally agree

@@dicodec and Nao said to Daisuke that when he's mad he look like his mom and Daisuke got mad even more. Hahaha.
the funny thing is that they mean it ironically, but theyself blocks everything possible on youtube ...
Bergwacht really?
@@dicodec Unfortunately yes, reactors complain that everything is blocked by MTH.
Nice reaction!
楽しそうで何よりｗ

Yoshu Fukushu is also a great song by Maximum the hormone.

Hormone is Japanese Street food comprising on entrails (offal)
I enjoyed your reaction. You can check out the crowd in Japan by BABYMETAL - Road of Resistance - Live in Japan (OFFICIAL).
We will add it to the list. Thank you for your suggestion!
Basically in Maximum the hormone Live are usually circle pits or circle mosh pit, and something Japanese style 2-step dance.Walls of Death is not the Maximum the hormone style.
Ah I see. Walls of death are always fun during metal shows.
MAXIMUM THE HORMONE - Hungry Pride bery cool

Would love to hear them!
The end makes fun of all the celebrities who were fighting against piracy on the internet a decade ago.
Winny was a popular sharing app in Japan.
Thanks dude! That makes so much sense. Appreciate the insight. -Eric
MTH have the Best vídeos i ever seen in My f... Life, i love this guys
These guys are so awesome!
Did you ever hear a hormone?
Don't pay her!!! Hahahahaha, get it?
that was such a great video your reaction is priceless
I remember this one perfectly. This song legit caught us more off guard than any other song haha.
Mr. Isamu Kaneko who created Winny is the person who created Bitcoin.
Holy shit! -Alan
Wow!!
Realmente ame está reacción, me rei junto a ustedes, nuevo suscriptor 🖤
I fucking love you're reaction, you're the Best!
Thank you so much!
it went from 0-100 very quick (while paused at the point where it goes from 100-1000 even quicker)
Dang you're right haha
5:28 WTF! haha
Winnie upload is a free music download service that they were upset about from my understanding
Ah i see. Thanks for clearing that up 🤘
@@dicodec no problem keep up the video and who knows when my band goes live we might cross paths
When SOAD has a child with Dillinger Escape Plan
jupp. all japanese always breakdance in their moshpits...lol^^
Bergwacht haha nice!
this reaction movie was awesome and so funny.
Winny was illegal uploading site but nobody using now already
Check out our MTH covers!
Winny is a website people illegally upload movie, anime, and music. Winny doesn’t exist anymore tho
That makes a lot of sense. Thanks!

If you go on MTH Wikipedia they explain why they are called MTH. It means hormones, do whatever you feel.
Yeah, you won't ever get board with MTH, haha! It's like listening to 10 bands in one. Next up, "Let's Talk About Menkata Cottelee" I'll sub just to see that!

We will earn that sub 😁

Nice reaction guys! More MTH please!
nebpro oh we will! We got a list of songs!
Your intro reminds me of one of Lightbringer of Fuyuki Tenge song.
Really? That is are new song we are releasing later next month.
Maximum the hormone has no meaning. They named this band in yakiniku (Korean steak)restaurant. In Japan, a part of meat is called a hormone.
Ah I see. That's pretty cool!
