(I only translated stuff you guys would care about... none of the stupid site update stuff ^^; ...oh wait. All those alread passed. What a waste of my time. )
MUCC is currently a major group of the visual kei, and precisely angura kei. The group is is made up of four members (left to right on the photo) Miya the guitarist, Satochi the drummer, Yukke the bassist, and Tatsurou the vocalist. Musically, MUCC plays depressive music, slower and more melancholic, and sometimes violent metal. The visual group sticks to angura kei: make-up and dark suits, and a eroguro morbid and disturbed look.
About the origin of the name MUCC. Contrary to what some think, it has nothing to do with mud, mucus, or any pokemon. (lmfao... pokemon ) The name comes from a Japanese television transmission, presenting Gashapin and Mucc, the trains on Sesame Street. (that's worse than getting it from pokemon... ) It was Miya that chose the name MUCC, cause he wanted the name of the group be short, easy to remember and without meaning. The "official" day MUCC was formed is June 6, in reference to them emblematic figure, 69.
The group was been founded in 1997 by Miya. During this era, Tatsurou joins under the pseudonym of TATOO, and the bass player is Hiro. They are under the label Misshitsu Neurose, just as their "big brothers" caliツ≫?喩ari, a group emblematic of eroguro. The group produces some demotapes and has several lives.
Then in 1999 the group begins really to form as it is currently: Yukke (even though he is only cameraman for the group, is the childhood friend of Miya!) replaces Hiro, and their first mini-album Antique is released. In 2000, TATOO changes his name into Tatsurou (a slight change from his true name), and the name MUCC is written in katakana. This year they release the maxi single Syouhu/Hai, and they begin in July, Kichiku no Shikake Saiku that is released October.
January 7 2001, their first album Tsuuzetsu is release. It very quickly sold-out, and an in a hurry a second press is marketed in June: Tsuuzetsu ~Inshou Chigai~. The twin-singles Aoban and Akaban are released on July 15. At last, the mini-album Aishuu is released on Christmas.
In 2002, MUCC joins the label Danger Raw Inc. while creating their own division, Shu. This same year they release the maxi singles Fu wo tataeru uta (in January), and Suisou (in June), follow by the album Homura uta in September, the true masterpiece of the group. A second presses goes out the following month, and they leave to tour in November. (*scratches head* not to sure what was meant there... I gave it my best interpretation which sucks... I think they mean go on tour )
In 2003 MUCC, in past as semi-major: they themselves auto-produce, but one of the indies labels Universal Music takes care of the distribution of their productions. (I hate French... it gives me headache... they talk weird ) The maxi single Ware, Arubeki Basho goes out in May in three different versions. At last, September 3 they release their third album, Zekuu. They play Tokyo Bay NK Lobby (room of 6000 places) some days after, to close their tour. A DVD of this excellent concerts is released some months later.
In 2004, MUCC continues series together in the live-houses, with always much success. In February, the maxi single rojiura boku to kimi e is released, followed by another in June, Monochro no keshiki. A third press of Homura uta is released in August.
It is on the 1st of September that their last album dates, Kuchiki no tou, followed by a tour in the fall. This album again is a success, a lot darker and mature.
2005 is the year of the world-wide opening for MUCC. After two magnificent singles, Kokoro no nai machi then Ame no Orchestra, the group announces it's appearance at the festival Wacken Open Air in Germany, then the tour 2005 MUCC in EURO, with two dates, in Hamburg on August 7 and the other in Paris on August 9. This tour will be accompanied by marketing Homura Uta in Europe. This is the beginning of the world-wide consecration for MUCC!

Tatsurou is the singer of the group, and the emblematic face. Emblematic face, because he is the most visible one, but also the more bavard. (what does bavard mean :? ...am I stupid? I've never heard this word... :?)
He really pays attention to his appearance, passing a lot of time applying make up on himself. This could be because as a child, he desired to work in a beauty parlor, just as his parents did. Also, he is very concerned with his behavior, in order to appear classe and funny. (I don't think my French is rusty... I think people just don't know how to talk ) For he does not really lack any humor and energy, often harassing Yukke, or joking. (It can't be me... ) He plays also harmonica, and this even during the concerts. (I just can't picture that... Tatsu playing harmonica... I want to see so I can believe )
He joins the scene for the first time at a school party during high school, with Satochi on drums. The latter him envoya a map of vows, and it is this map that Tatsurou decided to become professional singer. The content of this map has never been unveiled... (omg this is the weiredest sentences in the whole translation... I have no clue what is meant WHAT THE RIDICULOUS FXCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? 'carte' is map... what does a map have to do with anything... must be a slang for something else as well. Wait... I think 'carte' means map... :? **** I don't remember *punches self* where's my damn French/English dictionary when I need it? *pulls out hair*)
At the age of 17 years that he joins MUCC, first of all under the pseudonym of TATOO (pseudonym that he will abandon in 2000).

Miya is the guitarist of the group, but also the leader and founder. He is also the principal composer and parolier (huh? not sure what that means... perhaps lyricist). His texts generally are morbid, influenced by the death of his father when he was 7 years old.
He seems very calm and cold, and the other members describe him as frightening, a hypersomniac, and moody. He is the childhood friend of Yukke, and they followed their scolarite; (no clue what that means :?) together.
Even when he was younger, Miya was emersed in the music, his parents were professors. But his passion as a child was trains, and wanted to become a train driver. (Oooooh... so that's why he named the band after the train from sesame street ) This is when he was enrolled in music lesson. He started with drums, but his parents found that too noisy, then he chose the guitar. He also know how to play the piano.
He formed his first group when it was in 3rd year. He had his first concerts at the time at school parties. (aww... ) But it is in high school that he creates MUCC.
Yukke:
Name: Fukuno Yusuke
Nickname: Yukke
Function: Bass
Birthday: 05/11/1979
Astrological Sign: Scorpion
Birthplace: Ishioka, ibaraki prefecture
Blood Type: A
Height: 174 cm

Yukke is the bassist of the group. He was originally their cameraman (lmfao) but joined the band when Hiro left, and possibly he was chosen since he was a childhood friend of Miya.
His child-like appearance gives him a wise and angelic air, and the other members describe he as the kind one and attentive. Tatsurou constantly harasses him, and this is very funny to see!
He wanted to become a bass player when he saw his friends play a Buck-Tick song. He did not want to join a group till after high school, and prefered to play alone.
Nevertheless, he did not leave Miya. Strangely Satochi thought that Yukke was Miya's servant (XDDD). Curiously, one of the few things that he does not like are the cats. In an interview he has even says that he killed them! (*give Yukke an uncomfortable glance and backs away*) He also predicted he would marry a foreign blond woman, and have a daughter named Carrie. (I'm not sure if that's true or the webmistress is fantasizing )
Satochi:
Name: Takayasu Satoshi
Nickname: Satochi
Function: Drummer
Birthday: 12/08/1979
Astrological Sign: Lion
Birthplace: Mito, ibaraki prefecture
Blood Type: A
Height: 170 cm
Weight: 62 kg
Satochi is the drummer of the group.
During interviews, he is always calms and discreet. The other members of the groups describe him as the clean one and rather feminine. He is also a big sport amateur, since he was young. During his scolarite; (still don't know what that means... :?), he played basketball, swimming, table tennis, and surfing.
He played the drums for the first time at a school party in 3rd year. But he wanted to play the guitar, even if the one of his professors thought he was particularly gifted behind the drums. Before, he desired to become cook. But when he saw a video of Luna Sea with a friend, he decided to become professional musician.
He joined MUCC when he was in Final, first of all as a member of session. (in 'Final'... member of session... umm your guess as to the meaning of that is as good as mine ^^ Finally, the other members demanded he rejoin the group officially. (umm... what I don't understand So he wasn't officially a member so they kidnapped him and demanded he become one. )

Sorry I did my best but French people have a weird way of talking. I suppose the stuff I can't figure out is slang. :?
Sorry to furan who I was translating for... It was much to translate so it took some time. ^^; I will get right to translating those Lyrics...
Hey, it's so nice of you to do all of that work and I'm sorry I didn't know you were working on this.
Hmm, about the "map of vows" you were talking about... I agree this sounds a little... odd... carte = map but it can also be other things but I'm not exactly sure how to explain :sorry: (I'm not good at explaining language things) but is more like a kind of 'card' or 'board' which I guess makes sense in the way of giving his some gift... but I don't understand why it should be 'vows' though :?
Bavard = talkative/chatty person.
Scolarite = (probably!) schooling (well it makes sense, that is how I feel it).
You are right, parolier = lyricist.
"Member of session" would be like session musician, that he just plays stuff for them but not officially as a member of the band.
It's a really good job you did! Thank you. MUCC rocks!
Yea... I really don't understand the carte of vows :? Your way sounds better...
Ohh... I see. Bavard... *adds it to her vocabulary*
I though so about scholarite, but I didn't want to be wrong. I thought it might have been maybe high school.
Oh yay! I was right...
Ohh... I knew he wasn't an official member for long time... *slaps self* I really don't know how to put 2 and 2 together.
Wheee! Thanks for all the Muccu-stash!
I still don't believe that Yukke hates cats though, he seems like such a catty person. Bet he likes them deep down inside but just tries to not show the softer side of himself.
I ULd some MUCC songs for Drain Away... I'm at work so I can't remember which ones they are :sorry: but there's 7 songs I think (that's all I have), so if anyone is interested here is the link. I forget who else I promised them to...
Wooot! Just back from Germany.
Damn, that was some good j-rock.
The stage vas really low, and Tatsu sang things without the mic sometimes, and mucc are like ten times prettier in real life than in pvs and clips and they were all barefoot (ok, not Satochi, but that would have made drumming a bit painful, ne?), and they sounded so good and they were all crazy up there!
It was really great! Poor Pjusk was crying at the end.
There I go exposing her again. Ahh, she'll forgive me.
And Tatsu said (in english, wich is worth mentioning, because I think he put a lot of effort into it) that they'd be back next year.
