Mucc (Japanese: ムック, Hepburn: Mukku, stylized as MUCC) is a Japanese visual kei rock band, formed in Ibaraki Prefecture in 1997. The classic line up of Tatsuro on vocals, Miya on guitar, Yukke on bass, and Satochi on drums was solidified in 1999 following the departure of original bassist Hiro. After 24 years, Satochi retired from the music industry in October 2021, leaving Mucc a trio. They have released 16 studio albums, with 2020's Aku being their highest-charting. Although predominately a heavy band both lyrically and musically, Mucc is known for switching between music genres and styles frequently. Kerrang! included their fourth studio album Kuchiki no Tō (2004) on a list of 13 essential Japanese rock and metal albums.[2]

History

Early years and releases (1997–2005)

Mucc written in katakana

Mucc was formed in 1997 by guitarist Miya, vocalist Tatsuro (then called "Tattoo"), bassist Hiro, and drummer Satochi. High school students who had been friends since primary school.[3] They had their first concert at the Shimamura Music store in Mito, Ibaraki on May 4.[4] Satochi was only a support musician, but decided to officially join after the concert because of how much fun he had.[4] The name Mucc is often believed to have been taken from a character in the children's TV show Hirake! Ponkikki.[5][6] However, Miya stated he chose the name because it is easy to remember and is not something you associate with music. When he later learned that the English word "muck" means "filth", he thought that was also good.[7] The band is also known by the nickname "69" since the numbers six and nine can be pronounced "mu" and "ku", respectively, in Japanese. They have played with this number throughout their career, such as dubbing June 9 "Mucc Day", and providing live broadcasts that last 690 minutes.[8][9] Fans of the band are known as "Muccer" (夢烏（ムッカー）, Mukkā).[10]

Originally playing covers of bands such as The Blue Hearts and Glay, Mucc handed out their first demo tape, No!?, in December 1997. After graduating high school, the band moved to Tokyo.[11] On March 3, 1998, they handed out copies of their second demo tape, Aika, and on December 1, they gave out a limited 100 copies of their third, Tsubasa wo Kudasai. In 1999, Hiro left the band on February 14 and was replaced on bass by Miya's childhood friend Yukke on February 22. In July, Mucc had their first tour, where they handed out demo tapes of Aka at every venue. On December 25, they had their first official release, the EP Antique. On June 8, 2000, Tattoo changed his stage name to his current name of Tatsuro. They released their first album, Tsūzetsu, on January 7, 2001. It was followed by the EP Aishū on December 25. In 2002, the band signed to Danger Crue, establishing their own sublabel Shu (朱), and released their second album, Hōmura Uta. That year they held a concert titled En (えん), which featured acts from different genres. They have continued to hold En events sporadically since.[12]

Mucc signed to Universal in 2003, and released their major label debut single "Waga, Arubeki Basho" on May 3.[13] Third studio album Zekū followed on September 3. Their first live DVD, Nihon Rettou Konton Heisei Kokoro no Naka, was released on December 10. The band held a guerrilla live at Shinjuku Station on June 9, 2004, in front of an estimated 5,000 people.[14] Their fourth studio album Kuchiki no Tō was released on September 1 and supported by the Sōran Shūkyō fall tour, which ended on October 31 at Hibiya Open Air Concert Hall.[13] In January 2005, Mucc held a joint tour with Balzac.[15] Kuchiki no Tō Live at Roppongi, their first live album, was released on January 26.[15]

It was supported by a five-date tour that ended on October 10.[104] Mucc covered "March 5" by Plastic Tree for the cover album Transparent Branches released on September 6, and "Crazy4You" by D'erlanger for the tribute album Stairway to Heaven released on September 13.[105][106] A tribute album to Mucc titled En (縁) and featuring 22 artists, was released on November 22. It was supported by the En 7 tour, which was held with bands that contributed to the album, such as Dezert, Flow, and Band-Maid.[107] The tour ended on December 27, where Mucc hosted a special festival at the Nippon Budokan to end their 20th anniversary with eight of the other acts.[108] They also hosted a year-end countdown event in Ibaraki on News Years Eve with many other artists.[109] With the end of 2017, Mucc returned to being an independent band on Danger Crue Records yet again.

They sold the cassette "Jiko Keno Demo ~Dirty Ver.~" at every night of their June 2018 Lock on Snipe Tour #1: Hokkaido-gata Shūkan 6 Days, while "Jiko Keno Demo ~Clean Ver.~" was released digitally on June 11.[110][111] They released the single "Jigen Bakudan" on July 25, 2018.[110] Mucc's Lock on Snipe Tour #2: Shikoku-gata Shūkan 4 Days took place in October, while #3: Hokuriku-gata Shūkan 6 Days took place in December.[112] The members of the band were four of the 76 people to make cameo appearances in the music video for Flow's song "Oneness".[113] Mucc held an eight-date joint tour with Dezert, titled Is This The "Fact"?, throughout January 2019. Under the name "DEZERMUCC", the two bands collaborated on a two-track CD sold on the tour.[114] For February 13's concept album Kowareta Piano to Living Dead, Mucc recruited keyboardist Tooru Yoshida as a limited-time member.[115] The album was based on 140 of the band's early demos.[116] It was supported by a Zepp tour that ended on April 1, and a hall tour that took place between May and June.[117] Throughout the second half of 2019, they held 33 concerts as part of Lock on Snipe Tours #4–8 and released four singles limited to 6,940 copies total.[118][119] Each one was written by a different band member and released at a concert held on the 40th birthday of its songwriter.[119] The three-date Lock on Snipe Tour #9 took the band to Shanghai and Taipei in December.[120] On December 28, Mucc presented Trigger in the Box at Yoyogi National Gymnasium. It featured other acts such as Hyde, 44 Magnum, Ling Tosite Sigure, and Oldcodex.[121]

After 24 years in Mucc, Satochi retired from the music industry in 2021.

From January 10 to February 9, 2020, Mucc performed the Lock on Snipe Tour #10.[120] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they had to cancel April's Lock on Snipe Tour #11 in Europe and their June 21 concert at Pia Arena MM.[122] [123] They contributed a cover of "Mezmerize" to the May 13 Granrodeo tribute album Rodeo Freak.[124] The band released the made-to-order single "Shōfu 2020", which contains four different recordings of their first single "Shōfu" from various points in their career, on June 9 to celebrate its 20th anniversary.[125] Mucc's fifteenth studio album Aku was released the following day.[126] They held ~Fight Against COVID-19 #2–3~ "Aku - The Broken Resuscitation" no-audience live streams on June 21 and September 20.[127] Their December 27 show at the Nippon Budokan was the band's first concert with an audience in 10 months.[128] On December 2, 2020, Mucc announced that Satochi, who had been their drummer for 23 years, would be leaving the band in spring 2021 and cease activities as a professional musician.[129] His last tour with the band, Mucc Tour 202X Aku - The Brightness World, began in February 2021, but its final four shows were rescheduled to August after Japan declared a state of emergency as a result of the pandemic and Satochi tested positive for COVID-19.[130] The final two concerts were postponed again due to the pandemic and took place on October 2 and 3 at The Hirosawa City Hall in the band's home prefecture of Ibaraki.[131] The compilation album Myōjō was released on April 21 during the tour. All of its songs were either composed or co-composed by Satochi, with four of them newly re-recorded, while the lyrics to the new title track are credited to the whole band.[132]

25th Anniversary (2021–present)

A day after Satochi's departure, Mucc released new artist pictures showing them as a trio. The double A-side single "Goner/World" was released in November 2021.[133] 2022 marks the 25th anniversary of Mucc's formation. They began celebrating with an acoustic live on May 4.[134] The band released their sixteenth studio album, Shin Sekai, on June 9.[12] Its tour, which has the subtitle Beginning of the 25th Anniversary, took place from June 11 to August 28.[10] For the anniversary installment En event, En 8 on September 6, Mucc decided to choose The Back Horn and Cock Roach as the participates because they also have ties to Ibaraki.[12] The first leg of Timeless, their 25th anniversary tour, took place from October 9 to December 14. They played a setlist centered on songs from their Zekū (2003) and Kuchiki no Tō (2004) albums.[135] On December 21, Mucc released the mini-album Shin Sekai Bekkan, which is composed of outtakes from Shin Sekai and songs written during its tour.[136] They held two special 25th anniversary lives on February 6 and 14, 2023, which also marked the first time in about three years that the audience could cheer aloud, as it was previously not allowed due to COVID-19 guidelines.[137] Three more legs of the Timeless tour also take place throughout 2023. From March 4 to May 6, Mucc played songs from their Hōyoku (2005) and Gokusai (2006) albums. Songs from Shion (2008) and Kyūtai (2009) were played from June 9 to August 21. From October 1 to November 11, they played a setlist centered on songs from Karma (2010) and Shangri-La (2012).[138] Additionally, Mucc held a two-man live with Deadman at Spotify O-East on July 28. The two bands released a split single at the show, with Mucc's contribution being a song called "Shi no Ubugoe".[139] Between August 17–24 Mucc held the three-date Akumu 69 two-man tour with Nightmare.[140] A grand final to their 25th anniversary tour was held at the Tokyo International Forum Hall A on December 28, where they were joined by special guests Ken and Sakura.[140][141] They also released the album Timeless on that same day. It features the singles they sold only at concerts on the tour, "Shi no Ubugoe", and self-covers of four older songs.[142]

In 2024, Mucc signed with major record label Tokuma Japan Communications. Their first release on the new label was the single "Ai no Uta" on June 4.[143] From June 9 to August 4, they will hold the Love Together tour, with all but the first two dates featuring a support act; either Kizu, Nogod, Amai Bōryoku, Vistlip, Chaqla., Mama., Jiluka, Arlequin, Divers Croix, or Dezert.[143]

Musical style

Mucc is known for switching between music genres and styles frequently.[144] Akane Ogawa of Real Sound wrote that this has brought them recognition and fans outside of the visual kei scene.[145] As examples of their diversity, she cited "Utagoe" (2006) as a punk song, "Fuzz" (2007) as dance rock, "Arcadia" (2011) for incorporating EDM, and "Ender Ender" (2014) for combining metalcore and electronica. Ogawa also noted use of melody lines that evoke melancholy such as those in folk and kayōkyoku songs.[145] Miya, the principal songwriter of Mucc's music, said he personally likes bands that are ever-changing and play a wide variety of genres.[11] When asked if they worry about this alienating fans, the guitarist has stated on a couple of occasions that they do not care and simply do what they want.[144][146] When composing songs, Miya said he often starts with the beat. He then creates the basic outline of the chords and melody, before thinking of the overall arrangement.[147] Despite being a guitarist, Miya stated that he gives the instrument the least amount of thought. He has no particular connection to guitar, he just happened to choose it as the tool to express his music.[144][147] He also explained that Mucc shapes songs together as a band, so any song he starts to write will end up different in the end.[11] Tatsuro, one of the principal lyricists, said the band's lyrics are written after the music. He listens to a melody and takes inspiration from that, but is also inspired by everyday things; "what I see, what I feel and things like that."[148]

Miya cited Yōsui Inoue and X Japan as influences.[7] Tatsuro named Buck-Tick as a Japanese band he likes, while Yukke cited Anzen Chitai.[149] Satochi cited Helloween drummer Ingo Schwichtenberg as an influence.[7] After moving to Tokyo at the end of the 1990s, Miya started listening to Western music and became inspired by Slipknot and Korn.[11] Korn frontman Jonathan Davis influenced him to pursue intense personal expressions in Mucc.[11] According to Ed of Real Sound, Mucc already had a unique musicality by the time of their 1999 demo "Shūka", where they fuse the nu metal of Korn with Shōwa era kayōkyoku. He also wrote that due to the weight of their lyrics, they were already recognized as one of the heaviest bands in visual kei.[150] Miya said prior to Zekū (2003) and Kuchiki no Tō (2004), his lyrics were about past events and "traumas" he experienced, but with those two albums he wrote about present inner feelings within the band.[151] Despite audiences loving the shows, he seems to regret having done this as he speculated that he drank a lot on those tours so he would not have to face what he was expressing on stage, and stated that there is one song on Kuchiki no Tō that he will no longer play.[151] Speaking of his lyrics in 2009, Miya said "I used to write the lyrics only about the things that are totally disastrous, but now I'm not in the mood to write that kind of lyrics. I have grown out of that. As I've gotten older, I've figured out some solutions to the problem and I take that into the lyrics.[152] Miya said he does not write English lyrics because he does not understand the language and using them for their sound alone would not be the same; "If the words I write don't have a soul, then they can't become a song".[153] Tatsuro said that previously he wrote lyrics as a spokesman of the band, "I can't help but think about them and I think that those nuances were put in somewhere", but he did not think about that at all for Shion (2008) and its lyrics are more personal.[154]

Natalie described Karma (2010) as featuring a new sound for the band that mixes disco and digital sounds with heavy rock.[155] Miya said he became interested in folk music after focusing on melody, and that this led to Mucc including elements of dance music in their material.[11] Miya described the 2015 EP T.R.E.N.D.Y. -Paradise from 1997- as a concept work because it features references to the music the members listened to in the 1990s.[148] 2019's Kowareta Piano to Living Dead is also a concept album, with the theme of horror. Yukke said that horror has always been a part of Mucc's repertoire, but it was nice to dive into it head on.[156] Miya cited Korn as the reason he started using seven-string guitars.[157] He said while they allow him to play a large range of music, they do not work very well on downtunings.[157] In 2004, Miya said he rarely plays guitar solos because he does not really like them. He remarked that they are fine if they are like interludes, but he finds it embarrassing to go out front and command attention.[158] However, Mucc's album Shin Sekai (2022) has many guitar solos because he decided not to use any synthesizers on it. For the album, Miya said he would often use a modern approach to retro-sounding songs, and vice versa.[147] The members of Mucc often perform barefoot.[159] Tatsuro said he got the idea after seeing Cocco's April 20, 2001 performance on Music Station, where the barefooted singer abruptly left the studio after finishing her song.[160] He further explained that this was in Mucc's indie days when they had no money; whenever they were putting together new costumes, the shoes were typically the most expensive part, but as a visual kei band they could not simply wear sneakers.[160]
