If there's one band on Earth who deserves a break, it's MUCC. And it's only three months, so it's all good.

[Kiyoharu is God 283]

This was such an insane year for them. Fans probably had to work 2x as much too to afford all the stuff they released. 5 albums I think, not counting the tribute? And all the touring? Wow

Yeah. In fact, it's been insane these last two decades lol They most definitely deserve the rest.

Agree about the break being well deserved. Hope they get to live it up, enjoy the fruits of their labor for a while and get some rest too.

[Spectralion 394]

...and all I hope they will back with a banging new musics!

[Tatsusalt 47]

At first I was kinda shooketh  but yes I do think they need a break, but maybe a bit longer? Because they did all the touring and also released a few albums more than one. 

[LIDL 692]

Suddenly plenty of albums released this year becoming something more significant cos it will help fans to get through the hiatus phase.

 

Hope they'll come back stronger.

For the whole 3 months XD
When I saw Tatsurou's tweet I was shocked first and then when I checked the ohp I couldn't stop laughing lol

It was intense year for them, so 3 months vacation is well deserved

[Seimeisen 4406]

"suspend the expiration of activities" ...... what. So, basically, they're taking a 3 month hiatus? Um, yeah, that's gonna change my life drastically. 

 

But yeah they definitely deserve some time off

[madygrain 515]

More than fair.

 

I would not mind an entire year.

[Tokage 5930]

cue like 20 more "is this the end of visual key?!?!?!?!?!" threads

[Jigsaw9 6783]

Make it 6 months. They deserve to rest a bit.

[qotka 433]

i was hoping they'll be getting at least 6 months/a year's break because 1) they deserve it 2) i'm broke

[Tokage 5930]

they should bring back those 2 new members they had for like a week and have them be the temporary replacement mucc while the real band goes on holiday imo

[chemicalpictures 1888]

I really don't get why japanese bands feel like they need to disclosure every single break they have. Western bands often go radio silence for very long periods of time and nobody could care less... really, what's 3 months to a band so accomplished as MUCC?

[BrenGun 2261]

a 3 months break is strange to announce.

[Silverhawk33 1435]

Unlike most of the latest "hiatuses" from VK bands, they deserve it the most. I also don't see three measly months being that much, also shock that this is their first one. 

[Bear 1817]

Not sure why standard "jrock"/vk bands feel like they got to announce stuff like this. If they didnt announce ut no one would notice or care. And it's three months ffs.

 

Someone know the exact reason for this? Japanese bands and artists not considered "jrock/jpop"/vk never does stuff like this. Very curious.

 

 

 

Edit: posted before reading the other posts, but just a couple of posts above me someone was thinking the same. High five!

It doesnt seem to be a thing for the majority of bands and artists that's got no connection to the vk/jrock/jpop tag in general. Japanese punk and metal artists goes silent for years without announcing anything. Not a problem for anyone at all. Akways thought announcements like thid was very weird.

Maybe the general audience of VK has something to do with that.

 

I can't say that many fans of any genre are mature in general, but when 90% of your fanbase is 18year old girls (I generilize, but that's not so far from the truth) who are easy to impress and lose their shit altogether ("why don't my fav musicians do anything, hey, I should harass them on Twitter to learn what's happened") - I guess that's the main reason.

Mucc making an important announcement on twitter:

Mucc: "We're going on hiatus, starting in 2018..."

European fans: omg, how long will they be on a break? A year? Two years? Five? Forever? *freaking out*

Mucc:"...for three months. We apologise."

European fans: what.

Mucc: what.

 

Me: *facepalms* just take your break. Go on holiday, do something fun, for God's sake.

[qotka 433]

i thought the announcement was pretty ridiculous at first, too. but then i realized that a large chunk of their audience are people who WILL freak out if they don't hear any announcements/see any activity on social media for a couple weeks without an explanation, and being considerate of that audience makes a lot of sense.

[Zeus 7997]

It's crazy to think that they've never suspended activities before. Take this break boiz you need it.
