MUCC Popular Songs Ranking [2026] (1–10)
NirvanaMUCC1rank/position

The opening theme of the TV anime “Inu x Boku SS.” Though it’s beat-driven rock, it shifts and transforms like a fox spirit, with an aura of mystery.
The sound matches the anime’s occult vibe.
The subtle hint of melancholy is memorable, too.
It doesn’t go over the top, but a fully mellow song wouldn’t feel right either… This seems like it would fit perfectly for that in-between moment.
despairMUCC2rank/position

A song that depicts being tormented by despair and loneliness.
It’s included on MUCC’s 2002 album “Homura Uta.” When you think of MUCC, you think of heavy low-end.
This track showcases that to the fullest—its all-consuming lyrics and sound unleash the dim emotions lurking in your heart.
MUCC has other songs that portray negative emotions, but if you’re seeking something overwhelmingly dark and intense, this is the one.
Vent your inescapable feelings and anger by listening to this track!
The place where I ought to beMUCC3rank/position

This is the major-label debut single by MUCC, a visual kei rock band from Ibaraki Prefecture, who began with a musical style that blends the weight and intensity of metal with melodies reminiscent of Showa-era kayōkyoku.
It starts with whisper-like vocals and a dark clean-guitar riff, then shifts into a loud band intro that brings the noisy guitars to the forefront, and opens up suddenly in the chorus.
The song naturally fuses the darkness associated with visual kei and melodies that evoke nostalgia.
Its lyrical worldview, which feels like an explosion of negative emotions, is also outstanding—a track worth hearing even if you’re not a fan of visual kei.
promiseMUCC4rank/position

This is a single by MUCC released in June 2010, which debuted at No.
8 on the Oricon weekly chart.
It was used as the opening theme for the TV anime ‘Night Raid 1931.’ A notable feature is the use of string instruments.
horizonMUCC5rank/position

The 14th single, released in 2006.
It was used as the ending theme for Miracle☆Shape in November.
As the title—German for “horizon”—suggests, the lyrics include related imagery, and the music video features an orange color scheme.
Orchestra of RainMUCC6rank/position

Their ninth single, released in 2005.
It’s a ballad-style track by MUCC.
Unlike their other songs, this one gives prominence to electronic sounds like synthesizers.
While it’s a gentle song for MUCC, this side of them is part of their appeal, isn’t it? It’s a track I’d love to listen to on a rainy day.
GerberaMUCC7rank/position

A single released in 2006.
It was chosen as the opening theme for TV Tokyo’s “LIVE BANG!” in February.
Every line of the lyrics forms a beautiful love song, encapsulating MUCC’s unique worldview.
Don’t miss the cool music video directed by Ryuji Seki★.
