Have tickets to see these guys in 2 months in London, been into them for nearly 15 years waiting for them to play where I live. I can't wait, going to tear the roof off.
Saw them in NYC almost ten years back. There's no words to describe the experience. Get there early to get merch, it goes fast. Let us know what you think after the show!
Yay Ronin, one of my all time favourite! Like I mentioned in your A•L•I•E•N reaction, this whole album is top notch. Yoshū Fukushū (予襲復讐 )... loosely translated as "The Anticipation of Revenge".... it's about coming to terms with the effects of bullying, which was influenced by Ryō's (guitars) personal experiences of being bullied in 8th grade (中2 ~ 中に - can see the writing while Nao sings in the beginning and the end). An anthem for all those who suffered from the effects of torment (encapsulated powerfully when all four are singing✊). Also shot in a school building, accompanied by images from the manga book specially created for the album. In fact the whole album's interweaving concept is somewhat the experiences and effects of school life. A true Epic! (Every song is worth checking out)🤘🤘🤘
@Gáborガーボル Thank you very much for this. Do you have a recommendation for a good translation of the lyrics? I find machine translations like google or deepl are not very accurate when translating to western languages.
G'day Ronin. MTH tend to generate very loyal fans for those that stick with them - they don't compromise on their music or humour, no matter what the topic... and this one is a fairly serious personal topic for Ryo. So great that they can still express themselves in this kick-ass way.
"I feel like I'm being lied to right now." My cat likes to climb onto my lap and roll over. If I pet her tummy, she responds a little like this song. Kidding aside, I really wish I understood Japanese better, because they are so passionate. Like you mentioned, their vocal textures and performances are deliberate and intentional, all the way from the sweetness of the opening lines to the angry screams. They are a special group.
"I feel like I'm being lied to right now" and "their vocal textures and performances are deliberate and intentional". Agreed. They're telling a story in this one more than trolling their audience (not that they're above trolling). The soft opening and other change-ups are part of the story.
I completely agree with you on the "emotional" aspect of the singing and playing. Once you know the theme of the song (school bullying, as others have mentioned), you don't really need to understand the lyrics to "get" what each part is about, and to feel Ryo's anger. I like all MTH songs, but I really love this one.
I came here from your new reaction to Sokoninaru and saw this recommended below. Nice to see you reacting to my two favourite bands 🖤 Not only that this song is literally my all time favourite song cause it just never gets boring no matter how many times you listen to it. MtH are the masters of transitions and genre mixing 🤘 Not quite sure if you’re ready for it yet after Sokoninaru and MtH, but if you’re up for some real crazy and unpredictable music from an awesome Japanese band, I highly recommend Paledusk. Maybe start with BLACK ICE, Happy Talk, or the latest song BBB.
Hi! Thank you for checking out my videos! You've got great taste! MtH definitely keeps me on my toes as well as Sokoninaru. Thanks for the recommendations!
When you look at the lyric "I will stuff acorns and confetti into your urethra!", you can get an idea of the anger he was feeling towards the bully, instead of revenge, he achieves peace by getting all of his anger out through music.
I've been thinking about it in regards to how I want to implement it. I'm totally down to do it though! Will most likely announce it when it is officially up!

Great reaction! You should definitely check out their song "Maximum The hormone II" next

@@Oedwak RoninMan has watched one video and he's already wincing, LOL. But yeah, this is great storytelling.
Thank you for introducing me to this band, I'm now a fan! I have a request on this ANZAC day to react to Cliffs Of Gallipoli by Sabaton.
More MTH please! Buiikikaesu, Tsume tsume tsume, Maximum the Hormone, Hungry Pride, Let's talk about menkata cottelee, Koi no mega lover....
And another M.T.H. fan is born.
Happy Birthday!

great line. "about to get roundhouse kicked". and u did. lol
I just realized that the part where there is only the bass and the spoken part is definitely a wink to Born Dead of Body Count

theyre all vocalists man
Akane from bandmaid does a drum cover to a maximum the hormone song you should check out! 🤘❤
"Self," I told myself before watching the video, "this should be fun." Was I right? Let's click play and find out!
After watching I replied, "Yup!"
Have you thought about adding a monthly guaranteed reaction request to one of your Patreon tiers? If so I would def join.

@@Roninmann you either have them do you a request once a month on patron or you can make a monthly post for them to leave a comment with the request.
Hanabie - LCG please sir
🤟🤟🤟
The whole song is just one big transition 🤣😂
