mucker-problems:

Let’s talk a bit here, because it’s a big point with myself.
Do you say mukku or muck? To english-speaking non-fans, I say Muck, but around fans I say mukku. What about you?

I don’t know. I just always said “Mucc”. Maybe that’s the same as “Mukku”. The pronunciation with my native language is the same as how you would pronounce it in Japanese so never even thought about it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MUCC!!

Alright, here’s a brief summary of my history with my favourite band :)

The time must have been the end of 2004.

I first got to know about MUCC through an online friend. I had never listened to any Japanese music, but she was really into J-rock. She sent me a couple of songs from Dir en grey, and I liked them. I was also using the Last.fm site quite obsessively at that time, and those Dir en grey songs went to my scrobbles and I saw something called “MUCC” in the similar artists.

The profile for that “MUCC” seemed really intriguing, there was not much info at all. I found some songs to download, namely Zetsubou and… it was probably Suimin. When I listened those, I liked them so much, and downloaded the Homura Uta album. Just kept enjoying more. At first I liked Tatsurou the most, but eventually Yukke became my favourite.

I’m not sure at what point I really got into MUCC… that time is a bit shady for me, but a year or so later I remember going to the local record store and them ordering Kuchiki no Tou for me. When I finally got that in my hands, it was magical. My treasure. At that very same time, spring 2006, I also started started my MUCC fansite, Kokuen.

In 2006 they did their second set of concerts in Europe… I felt so sad that they weren’t coming to my country, and to be honest I never expected them to. I just figured that they’d be like all the bands I adored in the past, somewhere in the distance, never getting a chance to see them live.

But then… in 2007 they came again and the concert in my country was announced. Probably a big part of why I’m still such a big fan is because those news, them coming here… at that point I was very, very depressed and considered suicide quite a lot, but after getting those news, I decided to wait a couple more months. See MUCC. I doubt that I’ve never had as emotional response to any music-related news as I had when I heard that they’d come here. I cried. Jumped up and down. It was just… I can’t really describe the happiness I felt.

Well, the concert I’d go to see was like nothing I had experienced before. I remember seeing them coming to the stage. I was seriously thinking “are they really there?” and “this can’t be happening”. I was so impressed by their presence on stage, the energy in them, the energy in the audience. It is absolutely one of the top moments of my life. When they played Zetsubou, I felt like I was dreaming, because it was so touching to hear that song after all those years.

On the next day there was an autograph session which I participated, and after I had hugged Tatsurou (still regret not hugging Yukke as well!) and gotten their autographs, I stepped aside and burst into tears from the power of the experience. There were some male fans too, sobbing, and it was quite incredible.

After that first experience I’ve seen them in all concerts they have done in my country (six in all if I counted right). Some of the highlights of those are the pictures I got with Satochi and Yukke after during the Solid Sphere tour (also took a picture with Tatsurou but the camera fell and that pic got lost in the bit space), and finding Miya’s pick after the same concert.

I’ve been a huge… maybe even obsessive… fan of theirs for about seven years now. It’s hard to imagine life without their music and presence. I’ve collected their releases, my computers are full of pictures of them and at one point I even got my hair cut the same way as Tatsurou, whereas Yukke is my fashion icon (no kidding). I’ve had such countless amount of experiences and feelings with what is called MUCC. I’ve laughed, cried, been excited, nervous. I’ve had dreams about them. All of that feels really irreplaceable. Since they have given me so much, I really want to give my best too, by buying their releases, attending concerts, maintaining the fansite and Fuckyeahmucc. I’m just so grateful, and essentially the whole point of this long story is:

THANK YOU. For all that has been, and hopefully will still come.
