MUCC Mark 30th Anniversary with 50th Single "Love Letter"
MUCC is stepping into their landmark 30th anniversary year with style, unveiling a striking new artist photograph alongside details for their 50th single, “Love Letter,” arriving November 17, 2026.
For those unfamiliar, MUCC are visual kei veterans who’ve spent three decades crafting atmospheric, heavy rock with theatrical intensity. Their longevity in a genre known for constant lineup upheaval speaks volumes about their artistic vision and fanbase devotion.
The new promo imagery emphasizes each member’s presence with high-contrast, close-cropped shots that capture an atmosphere of both decadence and darkness—light and shadow interplaying across their faces in true visual kei fashion. It’s the kind of aesthetic that instantly signals this is no ordinary milestone release.
“Love Letter” (the single’s title track) has already been tested at live shows, where it’s reportedly become a crowd-igniting setlist staple. The limited editions come loaded with treats: a DVD featuring the music video, behind-the-scenes footage, and live performance footage from their June 2026 Zepp Haneda show premiering “Sir.”
Two exclusive T-shirt designs are available depending on which edition you grab—one through their fanclub (朱ゥノ吐＋) and another via Crown Tokuma’s online shop. Both launch for pre-order July 27 and will close once stock runs out, so don’t sleep on these.
MUCC are backing the release with an extensive club tour (November through December 2026) hitting venues across Japan, plus in-store signing events in Tokyo, Ibaraki, Chiba, Kanagawa, Kobe, Kyoto, and beyond. An internet signing session on December 25 is also planned for international or geographically distant fans.
Pricing breaks down as follows: the limited CD+DVD edition runs ¥3,300, the standard CD-only version ¥1,400, and the fanclub/shop exclusive bundles with merchandise are ¥9,000 each.
Head to the official ticketing site to secure your spot on their club tour and get the full breakdown of in-store event times and locations. This 30th-anniversary run deserves your attention.
