It looks like we have a clear winner, but I'll let the poll run over till the weekend at least. Next trade off will probably be one where we assign each other themes because I really like that idea too

Member leaves band after 23 years and retires from music and instead of people lamenting that it's just a bunch of shit posts trashing him and the band. I don't get it... Well, actually I kinda do since some of you are a gimmick/act at this point. Just way too damn negative. Anyway... Surreal news because I was listening to their earlier stuff like 2 days ago and looking at their earlier photo shoots and those really young pics of them in the AISHUU booklet and thought to myself holy shit these guys have longevity. I was appreciating how they've stuck together over the years and then I wake up to this news today. What a coincidence. 2020 has been wild between Kenichi leaving Merry, Ryo leaving Baroque and retiring from music, and now this latest succession and retirement... Like, what is he going to do now? I'm surprised he's leaving music entirely. https://musicbrainz.org/artist/d293c00d-015d-4aae-9b76-b5754c63f6d3/works He composed some pretty great songs: KINSENKA, NUKEGARA, MEDIA NO JUUSEI, REQUIEM, MAE E, HOTARU etc...

Its gotta be them dropping a mv lol

Heads-up, the band's going to make some sort of announcement tomorrow at 6 PM (so like uhhh 17 hours from now).

Pleaseeee I’ve been crying for two days already when I got the e-mail from the fanclub 😭😭. Never in my life I’d think I would see “important announcement” from MUCC and get scared and want to burn the e-mail. This band has done so much for my heart, has given me a solid reason to continue giving my best and the fact that one of the members decided to go on his own path saddens me so much, but at the same time I can only respect his decision. It wasn’t a sudden one, this man has been thinking about it and finally talked with the members in May 😭. Satochi seems like such a bright happy soul, but when I read in their book and other interviews how he’s dealt with suicidal thoughts and all that and yet still managed to be such a great musician, makes me so proud as a fan. I can only support them all and continue to love this band.

The more people I meet the less I want to get to know the human race ☠️

This is nonsense

The music is good enough for me to ignore their sales gimmicks. The best band in VK, and actually, the only one that even bothers to try and innovate the form somewhat.

Mr. Ellis, is that you?

They're an institution, but just like with Merry, the new music is too awful for me to care what happens to them going forward. Still, I'm shocked that they're going to continue. They can draw a decent house though, which does mean that there'd be money left on the table if they chose to call it quits now. Oh yeah, and shame about that EU tour not happening. Piano was a decent album, I would've liked to see them play that one. The one that came this year on the other hand... less said the better.

He was also playing the drums for METRONOME ever since they came back.

Some people dont like his voice/screams. This can be understandable. His voice is rather unique and only he has that type of thing going for him. It took me a bit to get used to his voice and screams at first and mejibray was my 3rd band. That aside Getting back on topic: How are they hated? They were actually one of the most popular bands during the 2013-2015 eras?

Thank god, it's been far too long since he's done anything on his own. Still spinning "Just about independent quality" with frequency.

Haha yes it is. Again I apologize if its rather long this genera has a lot of stuff to dive into. 😅 lol Let me know what you think.

I'm playing FINAL FANTASY VII (Original) on PC

I agree. I think I paid something like $80 for a shirt at one of their lives and I felt like that was high... But this is pretty insane. I know that bands need money to keep afloat, but ~$116 per song is the most I've ever heard of before. Prices like that pretty much encourage piracy.

Dr.樹(Tatsuki) left the band on April 8. LAST ALBUM『LANDSCAPE』 Release: 2020/11/29 TrackList: 1.キミト 2.メマイ 3.彼岸花 4.スキマ 5.REPLAY 6.LANDSCAPE 7.メマイ-Ryuma Remix- (Bonus Track) You can get it at this link.

Ok that came out of nowhere and I'm kinda shocked. Drummer SATOち will leave MUCC in early 2021. The band will continue without him. He will retire as a professonial drummer from there on. SATOち was in MUCC since their debut in 1997. Official Website

Or maybe they're going to announce they're releasing prayer on cassette for 10,000 yen a piece.

Anime that were mainstream back in the day were devoted for a reason, Death note and yugioh are probably the only anime ill ever watch and aoi bungaku because it's just a animated version of literature. Other then that every other Ianime I see is a, Waste of money, time, and potential. But now lonely weebs and pathetic teens watch repetitive anime as if being hip is gonna score them socially, wasting time with a escape reality anime Like teleporting to another universe where its all fantasy themed Or shitty arg Same plot, uninteresting characters, overused gimmicks, a cheap slut, stuck in a videogame. Monster was a wasted potential (Johan was the only reason to watch it) like donnie darko great synopsis a kid befriends a dark deformed rabbit when he tells donnie the world will end in 23 days. Sounds awesome right? Well no 20 mins in its all a wasted potential IT COULD'VE BEEN SO MUCH MORE I REFUSE TO BELIEVE POEPLE SELL THEMSELVES THIS SHORT I don't know what's worse people that love this shit, or others do this with passion as if its art.

I'm glad he will never read this thread because some comments here make me uncomfortable. After 23 years of activity in a band so productive, he deserve a little bit of respect. These 4 guys were one of the best band during live shows, it's not about being a " technical drummer " or things like that. It's about emotion and alchemy between members. And I think most people who have seen them live would agree.

Leaving a band that has worked so hard for 23 years. You should retire with your band if your going to want to finish everything. Love the dude but just why "Retire" without your band doing the same. You've been in here for 23 years and put all this effort in? Hopefully he doesnt leave.

How long before Shinya bounces from DEG?
