MissConduct

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.

He composed some pretty great songs: KINSENKA, NUKEGARA, MEDIA NO JUUSEI, REQUIEM, MAE E, HOTARU etc...

why?  to beat some sense into this man?
 
 
I think I would choose Kyo. I ran into him in Paris and he was really friendly and nice. 

Well, Unlike the other opinions I LOVE THIS ALBUM A LOT!
 
Is the perfect mix of mucc's style and It is the most varied album to date along with Myakuhaku and Shangri-La but more varied than the last 2.
Old Nu-Metal Style like Ameria, Crack and Sandman (Experimentation point)
Jazzy Styles like Jikokeno
Psychodelia Style like Friday the 13th.
Industrial Metal Style like Aku-Jusicte- & Dead Or Alive
Soft Rock Song like COBALT
Alternative Metal with Rock Elements like Kurage and Super Hero (Tatsuro Dedicate this song to his Father after dead)
Mid 2000 Nu Metal Style like Memai and Sei To Shi To Kimi
Punk Rock Songs like Kamikaze Over Drive and My World
Power Ballads Like Alpha and Spica
 
I like the 3 Bonus Track and in my opinion is very ambitious do 83 Minutes Music TODAY... Unlike the same things that are on the TOP List....
 
The innovation is a prominent and understimate skill that bands like MUCC can be proud of them.
 
This is only my opinion, every person can Hate or Love it like they want.

I think it’s very important for MUCC albums to be 69 minutes long
 
I love the gag

why did you photoshop kanye west's face on there? 😕

Satoshi (girugamesh) has released a clip of himself singing a new song today, Apr 12, 2020 on his personal Twitter account

Just remembered conditional disbanding was a thing some time ago but I don't see it much anymore. Can we consider it already banned then?
 
I'm also adding to the list that one member that goes missing instead quitting the band like a decent person.
Because I'm still bitter about what happened to Yusai.

That they look like women. Man, I love the music but looking at artists sometimes and just see a bunch of gay looking dudes.

Nazis.

I think I would choose Kyo. I ran into him in Paris and he was really friendly and nice. 

Are you kidding me? This is my dream question. I would hang out with Papa Kaoru and we'd spend the first part of the day talking about music, his guitar rig, etc. And then we'd spend the second half of the day drinking beer and writing guitar riffs together.
 
It may even end with a kiss goodnight if he plays his cards right 😉

I'm so excited. It's really been a while since they last came to Europe. Last time in Essen there was a huge circle pit and everyone had so much fun. 

the guy on the left is Kisaki, the guy in the middle is the singer from Marvelous Cruelty
at least Setsuna's time in the Egoist wasn't acknowledged as he told police he was a part-timer, someone else just found out it was him from his gf's posts

I am
 

Please tell me you are joking. 
 

Finally a new band I instantly like. Very much so.

Kyo for sure makes some fashion statements. It's just not always my taste. It always surprises me how he jumps from one style to the other, rather than the usual "jeans and t-shirt" or "black and leather"-Thingy

yeah, of course i will! ^^

Just let us know if you give it a try.
I already considered trying to buy the ebook version, if there is one, and using google translate...

I like the topics of your threads, Nya.
Can't contribute much, though, with this one.
 
I just guess bansaku and akira very much dislike ryou and kei from baroque by now?

I agree. But then, it also depends on how reflected someone is about the one childhood and so on. I just can't see Kyo as a person who just continues what he was going through. But then, again, I'm biased, plus my fiance as my ex boyfriend were hit and abused as children and are very non-violent and clearly state that abuse is wrong.
 
I guess we will never know for sure, I just wish I didn't read all this horrible things.

I read it when I was sitting in a packed bus. it was a bit hard to not squee or shout with excitement.

After-gig thoughts, but in more formal fashion this time: the gig in general was quite awesome- despite the fact that we felt a bit letdown before the show due to 1) quite lacking aesthetics (since we've heard rumors from here and there about "screens showing ART" etc.) and 2) hella long PA intro consisting of 80s new wave/post punk stuff (for  ~1 1/2 hours). Band didn't change actually from their previous Moscow gig look-wise, despite Kyo sporting some accessories he had in Rinkaku photoshoot (the hat and the pendant, that is). Mixing was quite pleasant - each member had its own 'spotlight' without being drowned by other instruments (honorable mentions: Yuchi and Mika had quite a good sense of rhythm - especially digging their impros during intermissions and "weirder set of songs" (hemimetabolism-vandal set)), not to mention that there were no major fuck-ups from members' part...but if we have to nitpick a bit, Takumi had a little programming mishap during "In All Weathers" (which he saved by guitar doodling, lol)
 
Worthwhile moments: 1) Uta was one hell of an energizer - the gig was quite "fanservice-less", but Uta tried his best to show his fan-loving charisma by shaking around and pulling off "noise rocker-like" shredding at some point etc. 2) there were 3 intermissions (not 4, my bad): one was an underwater ambient-like track, the other two were Takumi-led instrumental "jazz breaks" feat. the band (Kyo just danced around in one of those) 3) New song had a bit of "In all weathers pt.2"-like vibe, but I felt more *sense* there tbh.
