Ao Sakurai from cali≠gari took an interest in the band in the beginning years and MUCC got a deal with the label of Ao, Misshitsu Neurose. In 2003, MUCC signed to Universal and released their first major-label debut album. They have been performing outside Japan, a couple of times. They have performed at Wacken Open Air in 2005, that was their debut in Europe. They also went to North and South America, toured Europe in 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2015. This is just a short description of a band that has been active for more than 20 years. You can enjoy MUCC’s music on Spotify.

Currently consisting of vocalist Tatsuro, guitarist Miya, bassist YUKKE, drummer SATOchi and Toru on keyboards, the band released many singles, albums, EPs and even compilation and self-cover albums. Earlier this year, MUCC released their 14th album, titled 壊れたピアノとリビングデッド (Kowareta piano to Living Dead, The Broken Piano and the Living Dead) under Maverick.
