Happy New Year! Last year, we had many exciting events. A special live show, Master Of Territory which provided the venue floor divided in a grid and each cell was given to a member or a couple of the audience. Also, the prizes of the lottery people can enter with the "mystery entry ticket" set in the single CD, "Greatest The Hits 2011- 2011" were announced. And the lottery was held and winners were announced. One of the prizes was a "sleepover party with MTH" at MTH fans' house and it was conducted wonderfully. The band went on Oyaji-Garare (old-man robbee)Tour and after that, performed at various summer music festivals too. There were a lot of memorable shows last year!! In 2013, MTH will be performing at OzzFest Japan! The headliners will be Black Sabbath and Slipknot. And MTH members and Mimikajiru staff are now planning something really special and big for 2013. And finally you might be able to expect next something for the first time in 6 years... Thank you for your support and I hope you will be sticking with us in 2013 as well. We wish you a Menkata Kotteri (half-boiled noodle and greasy soup) year! Maximum The Hormone and Mimikajiru staff |

GREATEST THE HITS TOUR 2011

For the first time in about 3 years, MTH new single, "Greatest The Hits 2011 -2011" will be released!  Will that be the greatest hits title though it is a single CD?? What does 2011 - 2011 mean?! OK, they are funking around again. But this title is showing MTH's message that saying "Greatest Hits doesn't necessarily mean a collection of past titles. We can say these new songs are our best!" Tracklisting;
And there was no plan for the release at that point but here it is! All these 3 are the masterpieces! All these 3 are the stars!All A-sides! And there will be a great bonus booklet in the product! Which is the edited version of Bubuka magazine series column, "Maximum The Ryo-kun's Legal Trip". This is the rock you can read, this is the answer from Ryo-kun to the modern society full of drug problems!! Also, there will be 3 types of front covers and a mysterious application ticket in a product!Big deal! In Japan, the graduations are in March. So it is the season of cherry blossoms and graduation songs. But MTH, which has no sense of the season, will be blowing up a storm!! |

| "Jigoku-ezu" is a series of infamous Summer events held by MTH with grueling preconditions. As the band receives a lot of different complaints such as "Do your shows at larger venues! We cannot get tickets!!", "If you are a rock band, play at smaller venues!!" and so on. Then the band released their anger as the answer to these complaints, which is kind of misplaced, though. MTH decided to present hellish events, "Jigoku-ezu (The Inferno)". MTH members always pass their phisical limits at shows, but for these events, they impose even harder conditions to themselves on stages. So it is super sadistic but could be super masochistic at the same time. Examples of the preconditions of the events are "with down-jacket after eating garlic clove" and "with dummy after drinking 500ml of milk". You can easily imagine how tough to be in small venues and see MTH shows with these preconditions. Please see the footage from some parts from 2 "Jigoku-ezu" events held in August 2010 under preconditions of "with full-face helmet" and "pair with stocking on heads". Please, never try this at any other shows! It is dangerous and we are not responsible for any troubles by doing it! This is the shocking sights of "Jigoku-ezu"!! * Both image and sound were recorded with video cameras at venues. |

The event, SAKOKU -Enon- vol. 1 presented by MAXIMUM THE HORMONE ended today! MTH invited two great international bands so the tour became something very much condensed and exciting with these 3 bands. They toured 3 big cities in Japan which are Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka. These bands, BRING ME THE HORIZON and BLESSED BY A BROKEN HEART showed fantastic performances so these bands released us from SAKOKU -historical isolation policy and period of Japan which ended long ago- state!! Keep your eye on the next SAKOKU -Enon- event! |

 New Single CD TSUME TSUME TSUME / "F" released on 9.July.2008. |
At this moment of their life,
what they created was sadistic with all A-side single! The former album "Bu-ikikaesu" sold more than 250,000 copies and keep selling even now. After the album, they released their DVD, "Deco vs. Deco" in March. It topped the domestic DVD sales weekly chart and sold almost 100,000 copies so far. No one can stop the momentum of this band, MAXIMUM THE HORMONE!! After a year and 4 months from the release of the last album, "Bu-ikikaesu", they release this aggressive, offensive, but catchy and smart masterpieces in one single CD. This single was number 2 for their first appearance in the national chart. |
