Maximum the Hormone is renowned for mixing genres while still being absolutely crazy. Check out their song "Yoshu Fukushu" (written by the guitarist, Ryu, about his experience of being bullied in junior high and how it effected him for years after until he learned to let it go). The song and the video are absolutely brilliant.
Since no one else has filled you in on the story here: The first part of the song has something to do with the detrimental effects of exposure to nuclear radiation; the second part of the song takes a hard right turn and addresses/protests the piracy of music online. "Winny Upload" was music file-sharing website in Japan; basically, it was their equivalent of Napster here in the U.S. The title of the song is a false acronym ("A.L.I.E.N."), and is taken from the fact that the Napster logo resembles an "alien" head.👽 But there is apparently a joke at the end: At the time of this song being released, "Winny Upload" had already been defunct and out of operation for a few years (this is what the drummer (Nao) is telling the rapper/harsh vocalist (Daisuke). Also, apparently Daisuke's emotional plea to "stop Winny Upload" is supposed to be mocking Lars Ulrich of Metallica, who went on a campaign to stop Napster's music piracy.✌️
Well, I really chose an interesting first band to react to huh lol. I believe I reference that he sounded like "system of a down" and if you've heard his music, seems he speaks in his own language also lol. I have thought about reacting to this band again now that I'm not so new to this.

I recognized the song and immediately knew that the reactor was going to be in for a Wilder Ride than he could ever imagine! A. L. I. E. N. is a TRIP and a half! Welcome to the Surreal World of Maximum The Hormone. Many of their MVs are as twisty and turn-y as this one, with lots of surprising (& often humorous) transitions The point of the song was to write a generic protest song that could be repurposed. Winny was a music file share app (like NAPSTER) that came under fire in Japan. Part of the humor was that protesting Winny was pointless as it was no longer operating and the drummer was scolding her band-mates for being stupid.
@@atlasisshrugging I have been in the same place. I'll see a reaction video to a song whose backstory I know, start writing, only to find an earlier comment that says everything I intended to write.

Most Japanese can't understand most of it either. Ryu the guitarist has his own language.

As of Hormone, I highly recommend 刃渡り1億センチ as a starter
As of an advice for your channel, showing the artist big wide is good but I wanna see your face up close from time to time since this is a reaction.

Damn! I wish I had read your comment first🤦; I just left my own filling in the background on this song.
I hate being late to the party.😮💨

なぜホルモンを選んだ笑
Was a recommendation since I wasn't aware of too many japanese bands. A month later and I think I expanded my catalog a bit and Even revisited them!
