Bio taken from Otakon.com.
"Determined to do J-Rock their own way, MUCC has been bringing their amazingly unique sound to fans for over nine years. MUCC is comprised of: Miya on guitar; Satochi on drums; Yukke on bass; and Tatsuro, the group¡¯s vocalist. The group¡¯s songs have the ability to pull on the heart-strings of listeners and carry elevating messages of hope and warmth.
In 1997, the band was formed when Satochi, Miya, and Tatsuro met in high school. The following year the band recorded and released three demotapes: NO?!, Tsubasa Wo Kudasai, and Aika. Yukke joined the band in 1999, completing MUCC¡¯s perfect harmony. The band made two more demotapes, Shuuka and Aka, and finally released their first CD album, Antique.
In 2000, the band released their first CD single, Shoufu/Hai, and a re-release of Antique. The day of release, 6/9, became known as MUCC Day, because "69" is pronounced ¡°muku¡± in Japanese. January of 2001 marked the release of MUCC¡¯s first full album, Tsuuzetsu. Later that year they also released two singles, "Akaban" and "Aoban", and a mini-album entitled Aishuu.
The band started their own original label, Shu, in 2002. Under the new label, they released a new maxi-single, "Fu Wo Tataeru Uta". On the ninth of June that year, the band sold their new single, "Suisou". And later, on ¡°Reverse MUCC Day¡± (September 6), the band released their second album, Houmurauta.
The band continued to release albums: Zekuu in 2003, Kuchiki no Tou in 2004, and Houyoku in 2005. This year, the band released their sixth album, the appropriately titled 6. During their career, MUCC has continued to play live shows, with emotional melody lines derived from Japanese exotic pop songs, and as a result, their fan base grows each year. With their songs about humanity, MUCC represent a new generation of global artists."
That does it. June 9th is now MUCC day.
