The discography of Mucc includes 17 studio albums, three live albums, five extended plays, 48 singles, 15 demos and 35 video albums. They are a Japanese visual kei rock band, formed in Ibaraki Prefecture in 1997. When original bassist Hiro left in 1999, the classic line up of Tatsuro on vocals, Miya on guitar, Yukke on bass, and Satochi on drums was solidified. Antique, their debut EP, was released in 1999 by Misshitsu Neurose, an independent record label formed by Cali Gari guitarist Ao Sakurai. [1] Mucc signed to Danger Crue Records and established their own sublabel, Shu, for the 2002 release of their second album, Hōmura Uta . The band made their major label debut on Universal with Zekū the following year. [2] In 2009, they returned to being an indie band on Danger Crue, [3] before signing to Sony for 2012's Shangri-La . [4] With the end of 2017, Mucc returned to being an independent band on Danger Crue yet again. After 24 years, Satochi retired from the music industry in October 2021, leaving Mucc a trio. [5] They made their third major label debut on Tokuma Japan Communications in 2024. [6]
