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 business in October 2021, leaving Mucc a trio. They have released 16 studio albums, with 2020's Aku being their highest-charting. Mucc is known for switching between music genres and styles frequently. Akane Ogawa of Real Sound wrote that this has brought them recognition and fans outside of the visual kei scene. 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. Miya, the principal songwriter of Mucc's music, said he personally likes bands that are ever-changing and play a wide variety of genres. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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." More information...
