1998-2001
Maximum the Hormone was created in 1998 with Daisuke Tsuda and Nawo Kawakita, along with no longer present Sugi and Key. Their first release, A.S.A. Crew was the only full length album released with this lineup. In 2001, Sugi and Key left the band, leaving an opening on guitar and bass guitar.
2001-2002
In late 2001, the band recruited Uehara Futoshi (Ue-chan) to fill the empty bass guitar position, while Ryo Kawakita (Maximum the Ryo), Nawo's brother, took the position of guitar, and also contributing melodic vocals. The band released three singles, followed by their first release with the new lineup, Ootori (Hou). The EP still mainly followed playing style of the old lineup.
In 2002, the band saw one more single, followed by a full length album, Mimi Kajiru. The album exhibited more of Daisuke's signature screaming vocals, and Ue-chan's loud twangy bass lines.
2003-2005
After their first full album as a band, the band took a more traditional approach to recording, releasing two singles, followed by an album. Their next album, Kusoban in 2004, was close yet to contrasting heavy music mixed with light pop that has gained them mainstream attention.
After recording another pair of singles, the band released another album, Rokkinpo Goroshi. The release caused a surge in their fanbase, as they began to sell out more shows, playing many rock festivals, and eventually releasing a live DVD, Debu Vs Debu. In addition, "Rolling1000toon" was featured as an ending theme for the anime series Air Master.
2006-Present
2006 saw the band's breakout into popular culture with the song Koi no Megalover, reaching number nine on the Oricon charts during the summer of 2006; their first top-ten hit in Japan. The band had three of their songs featured in anime series; What's up, people?! and Zetsubou Billy, are featured as the opening and ending tracks, respectively, of the Death Note anime series, and Akagi is featured as the ending theme for the Akagi anime series.
After the promotion from two singles, and the songs featured on television, Maximum the Hormone released their next album, Buiikikaesu. The album was a record for the band, debuting at number five on the Oricon charts; their first full album to rank.
The year 2008 started off with the release of their new live DVD titled Deco Vs. Deco. The band also made their first overseas appearance in a short tour through the United States and Canada with Dropkick Murphys in March. A new EP titled "Tsume Tsume Tsume/「F」" containing the songs "Tsume Tsume Tsume, "「F」", and "Kill all the 394" has been announced. [4] The disc is set to release at the start of their "Tsume Tsume Tsume" tour on July 16, 2008. The tour continues through October 16, 2008. with an additional tour finale set to take place on November 30.
On October 24 it was announced that Daisuke would require surgery on his throat, causing the band to go on temporary hiatus while he recovers. The hiatus is set to start in December and last for around three months.
On October 27th Maximum The Hormone made their first UK appearance supporting Enter Shikari at the Bournemouth BIC. They continue to tour with Enter Shikari until 3rd November, playing Exeter, Southampton, Folkestone, and finishing with 2 nights at the London Astoria. close

lol omg i love them they make u wanna throw ur sandwhich and rock out so hard like honestly i almost hit my head on the wall during billy in dispair hahah i love them thank u 4 this forum hahhahaa yay
they rock out soo dang hard
[size=9]I first heard about them from the second opening and ending songs of DEATH NOTE, but when I saw the actual videos themselves, the band does not look like how I imagined it would.
I've only listened to those two, What's up People!? and Zetsubou Billy, but I really do like them.[/size]
They rock! I have their Buuikikaesu album, it is good. You should check out their website, lots of info on them. Nao is the girl drummer (she is cool) and the guitar guy Ryo is her brother. I thought that all of their soungs would sound the same but they are pretty flexible.
hormon are LOVE. if you have the chance, go see them live, they rock really really hard and are so much fun to mosh to! if you're unable right now, try their concert DVDs. you can find some previews from debu vs. debu DVD right here.
i fell in love with them when i saw their performance at summersonic 2006 and have been returning to their concerts ever since.
I first heard them when I watch Death Note. And there was a time when I listen them a lot, but know I prefer lighter music, but MtH has got original, sometimes funny style ;D
yes i know them, the first song i heard was chu chu lovely
Heard of them, never heard any songs because I only watched a few episodes of Death Note (but I know everything that happens in the series, lol) but I kinda avoid that kinda thing because one of their songs has the F word in it. I always avoid the F word because I can't stand it. 
Who couldn't know aboy maximum, there like gods of the hardcore punk/ metal in japan. One of the best rock bands in the world!!
My favourite song is Kuso Breakin Nou Breakin Lily, its in there 2007 Buiikikaesu album.
who doesnt?
billy in despair is my favorite song
i thank death note
wow....this band rocks...i guess i got most of their albums and songs...all of them i think....they are really cool...the songs bring gud fresh energy and help get some warmth up yur bones...yu cn totally sacrifice a day listening to MTH
yu wont be dissapointed...im listening to their album kusoban(i think) right nw...
OMG they Rulllle. SO AdIcTeD....
Maximum the Hormone is great!!
I got hooked off of them from Death Note!
yes yes i like this band
they REALLY rock
it's hard to find other rock band like this band in these days
haha..i love what they did with the DeatH note songs awesome :rock:
Yo, Maximum the Hormone Is bombing!!!! XXDDDD They are sooooo good! I always get so excited when I listen to their songs! Zetsubou Billy is absolutely phenomenal.
Every Death Note tard should know them O.o if not the world (yay Nightmare LOL) and every MTH tard should get to know them even better x3 figures if you really like someones song you heard from a theme or somewhere it's only common sense you check them out completely
Love their two songs they recorded for Death Note, hated it at first since I was so into the two by Nightmare themes and listening to their songs after made it feel everything was getting a bit dumb, but nah it really grew on me, evertytime what's up people would start the show you could feel the series getting more an more intense and out of control and I get that now
As for the other band in the pv I'm trying to figure out...haha they must've been so evil to die that early in the song XD Someone said they were Parfait but I've never heard of them (I can't even find a profile) but yeah Parfait the first band starting the song Zetsubou Billy, MTH comes in later
I love MTH!!!!! I ♥ Chu Chu Lovely Muni Muni Mura Mura Purin Purin Boron Nurururerorero!!! and Zetsubou Billy!
As for the other band in the pv I'm trying to figure out...haha they must've been so evil to die that early in the song XD Someone said they were Parfait but I've never heard of them (I can't even find a profile) but yeah Parfait the first band starting the song Zetsubou Billy, MTH comes in later
Parfait is a visual kei band thats been disbanded (just thought I'd share that)
