Since this time MUCC were on tour currently and has performed in France, UK, Germany, Finland, Sweden and the US. MUCC are part of the small elite of Japanese rock bands which are not only able talking about successful stories in their homemarket. Infact they did a international carreer. The reason for this was the powerful and strong work in many territories and of course their unique sound.
