News for MUCC

news-for-mucc

Looks like we have some news from the boys!

First off, for the first time in years, MUCC has changed their OHP! Along with a new look, it also contains a detailed history of all releases and lives, all the way back to 1997, in both Japanese and English. Their old website is still available as an archive. There is also a comment on the renewal and their upcoming live on Excite. A completely new start for a new label, it seems!

Speaking of 1997, it was announced recently that on June 9th, 2012, they will be participating in their 15th anniversary live! Titled MUCC Day, it will take place at Makuhari Messe International Hall, and will cost ¥5569 in advance and ¥6900 at the door. I’ll update if more information becomes available.

The band has also been participating in several Nico Nico Douga livecasts recently, all in promotion of their new single, Arcadia. Two have already passed, and a third is coming within the next few days! It will take place on 11.22 at 20:00 JST. It is titled ムックの新曲フライングゲット祭り (MUCC no Shinkyoku Flying Get Matsuri) and will have paid and free admittance. The videos are always available for a few days after, so in case you miss it, it will still be there.

Also! Since it wasn’t covered here; on 11.23 along with their release of Arcadia, they will be releasing the live DVD titled “Chemical Parade,” which was recorded at their Budokan live on May 22nd earlier this year. It will cost ¥5569 and is available at CDJapan!

What do y’all think?

News from MUCC

news-from-mucc

Some news for ムック (MUCC) fans. First of all they have a totally new look:

Secondly, the covers for the upcoming full-album 「カルマ」(Karma) are available now:


Limited Edition:
Regular Edition:

Don’t forget to pre-order the album while it’s still available though:

「カルマ」 (Karma) [w/ DVD, Limited Edition] (3990 yen)
「カルマ」 (Karma) [Regular Edition] (3150 yen)

Anyway, there is something really cool for MUCC fans though. YUKKE used to go to a school called 茨城県立小川高等学校体育館(Ibaraki-ken Ritsu Ogawakoutou Gakkou Taiikukan) and it seems that due to the significant decrease in number of enrolled students the school will be closed, which was announced 3 years ago. Since the school will soon be no longer, MUCC agreed to perform there. The live will take place on October 9th at the school and will be called 「さよなら小川高校、そしてありがとう」(Sayonara Ogawakoukou, Soshite Arigatou). The band even posted a short clip on their OHP about the live:

The live will cost 3000 yen and starts at 14:30. The live sounds cool, doesn’t it?

Furthermore, if you buy both the single and the upcoming album you’ll be able to participate in so called “SHAKE HAND PARTY”:

October 6th @ TOKYO DOME CITY LaQua Garden Stage 1F
October 10th @ Osaka Nishinomiya Gardens
October 11th @ Nagoya ASUNAL Kanayama
October 17th @ Fukuoka Canal City HAKATA

And finally, do not forget about the band’s autumn tour, which begins at the end of October!

Find MUCC on “MUCC’s Day” & be in their PV

find-mucc-on-muccs-day-be-in-their-pv


Lots of exciting news for MUCC!

MUCC will be releasing their new single as we mentioned both here and here on the 9th June, which also happens to be *”MUCC’S Day”!
[*The number 6 is "roku" in Japanese but can also be read as "mu", and as the number 9 is "kyuu" it can be shortened to "ku" to be read as "69" = "mu ku" i.e. "Mukku".]
Along with their single release on this special day, the band will be holding an event 『ムックを捜せ!』 (Find MUCC!), where fans can search for MUCC both at the event in Shibuya and virtually.
To take part, all fans must purchase the First Press edition of the single 『約束』 (yakusoku), which will enclose a an I.D. card with a number/code that they will need. They then access the “MUCC Day” website either through their mobile/cell phones or through their computer. There are then 3 methods in which fans can participate:

01. Find MUCC in “real time”
This event in Shibuya will take place on the 9th June, starting at 6pm and ending at 9pm, where fans search for MUCC and find stamps to stamp on their sheet.
02. Find MUCC “virtually”
Using your PIGGS (avatars) on Ameba blogs, you can find the MUCC member’s PIGGs in the virtual Shibuya in the Ameba world and collect their special “keywords”.
03. “Reccommend” MUCC
With each member now part of Twitter as we mentioned here, if you send them a “nice” (interesting, funny) comment you could be chosen!

Those who participate and apply will be entered into a lottery where they could recieive an invitation to take part in the shooting of their new PV on 12th June! It will be at ‘Palette Town’ in Odaiba, where the lucky chosen fans can go see a free gig which will be used in the music video.

For more information on this amazing event, see their official “MUCC Day” website.

Whilst not forgetting the band’s autumn tour as we mentioned here, they are busy taking part in 3 more upcoming events;
01. 『NEXUS J-ROCK GOES TO THE WORLD』 on the 6th June at the ‘NEXUS STUDIO COAST’ in Tokyo, along with bands 葵 (aoi), LC5, ギルガメッシュ (Gilgamesh) and Plastic Tree. Tickets for first floor standing are now on sale for 5,250yen. To buy them and for more information, see here.
02. 『BARKS LIVE [10th Anniversary Gratitude Festival]』 on the 11th July at the ‘ZEPP TOKYO’, along with J and Pay money To my Pain. Tickets can be specially pre-ordered now but go on sale for everyone on 6th June, with ticket prices to be announced. To buy them and for more information, see here.
03. 『SUMMER SONIC 2010』 on the 8th August. For information on the types of tickets available and to buy them, see the official website.

Anyone going to take part in the “Find MUCC!” event in real time or virtually? I know I may browse virtual Shibuya with my PIGG just to see if I can spot the members!

Random fact of the day

random-fact-of-the-day

Its getting HOT! Summer days have already started and this bunny has been suffering! I haven’t been able to venture outside much in fear of being captured but I’m sure I would melt from the heat. You know who else has been feeling the summer heat? Tatsuro of MUCC. He recently engraved this lovely picture in the minds of fans.

Hi, Tatsuro here. These days I’m really into Dragon Quest Monsters Joker 2!

Tokyo has been really warm recently–so warm you can sleep naked! And so that’s what I’m doing, what about all you guys? ;)

The only problem with sleeping naked is if the mailman shows up at your house! ;)

Tatsuro

So what!? I sleep, walk and eat naked every day!!

Details on MUCC’s new single

details-on-muccs-new-single

Thanks to Jinx for the heads up!

As we previously mentioned both here and here, ムック (MUCC) will be releasing a new single called 「約束」 (Yakusoku) on June 9th!

The last times we mentioned them, not many details were available, however, now they are!

The release is coming out in three types – a limited edition, a regular press edition and a special edition that ties into the single being used for the anime, 『閃光のナイトレイド』 (Senkou no NIGHT RAID), (read more it here).

The limited edition costs 1680 yen and contains the single (two tracks; title track plus ‘Unpublished Track 1′), plus a DVD. [PRE-ORDER]

The regular edition is 1260 yen and contains the CD only, but with the title track and ‘Unpublished Track 2′. [PRE-ORDER]

Finally, we have another limited edition for those fans of the anime! This version is 1365 yen and includes three tracks on the single; the title track and tentatively, an instrumental version and the cut used for the opening theme. This type is also specially packaged with a 『閃光のナイトレイド』 (Senkou no NIGHT RAID) theme. [PRE-ORDER]

MUCC’s new single for Anime Opening

muccs-new-single-for-anime-opening

MUCC’s new single 『約束』 (yakusoku), which will be released in June as Inka mentioned here, is going to be used as the opening theme for the Anime 『閃光のナイトレイド』 (senkou no NIGHT RAID).

It is said that 『約束』 “holds the views that MUCC has and the views that the Anime portrays which synchronize with each other, and along with the combination of strings [orchestra] it puts across a complex yet obvious message, and is a musical masterpiece.”

The Anime will be aired in April 2010, which gives us a chance to preview MUCC’s single before its release!
