Famous and popular songs by MUCC

An empty houseMUCC

Mook – An Empty House [Light of a Decayed Tree]

From the songs of a visual kei rock band active since the late ’90s.

Many of their tracks are dark, with gloomy melodies and lyrics throughout.

Is it just me, or do visual kei rock bands tend to write rather morbid music more often than not?

Falling DownMUCC

MUCC “Falling Down (FALLING DOWN) from LIVE DVD Chemical Parade”

Their 23rd single, released in 2010.

Unusually for MUCC, it has the feel of an offbeat dance number.

In live footage, the audience unites during the chorus to do the so-called “wiper.” It’s a track that makes you want to move your body like that.

Winner in a downpourMUCC

Winner in a downpour

This is a song included on their 13th single released in 2006.

It sounds like an uplifting track that says we’re winners even when we go through hardships like a torrential downpour.

With its off-beat accents in the chorus and straightforward melody, it’s an easy song to get excited about.

Mermaid of ReminiscenceMUCC

MUCC – Reminiscence Mermaid (Tsuioku no Mermaid) THE YELLOW MONKEY TRIBUTE

MUCC covered THE YELLOW MONKEY’s “Tsuioku no Mermaid.” Before THE YELLOW MONKEY reunited, a tribute album was released, and MUCC covered this song on it.

It seems they basically chose the songs they wanted to perform from the band’s catalog.

FuzzMUCC

Mook – Fuzz

This is their 17th single, released in 2007.

It’s a track characterized by electronic sounds and a four-on-the-floor beat.

In the music video, green lighting repeatedly shines, which, combined with the electronic tones, creates a near-futuristic atmosphere.

The lyrics depict a couple on the verge of breaking up.

World’s EndMUCC

MUCC『World’s End』MUSIC VIDEO (short ver)

This is the 29th single, released in 2013.

It was used as the opening theme for the TV anime “Meganebu!”.

“Meganebu!” is a very unique anime centered around glasses, but its feelings toward glasses are remarkably grand, which actually (surprisingly?) matches this song, “World’s End.”

prostituteMUCC

Shofu (Original Version)-MUCC

This is their first single, released in 2000.

It’s a track that already shines from their debut.

In the middle, the song dramatically shifts its tone and reveals a different side.

It was also re-recorded for the first album “Tsuuzetsu” and the 14th single “Horizont.”
