"Greatest the Hits 2011–2011" (グレイテスト・ザ・ヒッツ 2011〜2011, Gureitesuto Za Hittsu 2011-2011) is a triple A-side maxi single released by the Japanese rock band Maximum the Hormone. The single was released on March 23, 2011. The title of the single is a pun by the band, telling the fans that: "Greatest Hits doesn't necessarily mean a collection of past titles. We can say these new songs are our best!". The single comes with three separate covers, one for each song, and also comes packaged with a "bonus booklet" which is a collected and edited version of Maximum the Ryo-Kun's column in Bubuka magazine titled "Maximum The Ryo-kun's Legal Trip".
