5 Mucc Songs, as chosen by each member (each chosen song was commented on, but i only included some of the comments here):

Tatsurou:
1. 狂想曲 (he views it somewhat as the first original mucc song, and thus symbolizing the beginning of mucc. also the first time tatsu wrote the lyrics.)
2. つばさ
3. 流星
4. 溺れる魚 (tatsu feels he's injected a lot of what he wants to sing into this song. also a song that he especially likes to perform at a live.)
5. パノラマ (lyrics which are not trying to say "thanks for your hard work", but rather, "the form may change, but we'll still be working hard together from now on".)

Yukke:
1. あやとり (yukke heard it before he officially joined mucc, and he was stunned:"how can high school students make such an awesome song!?!" also the first time he got a taste of mucc's "folkie" music style.)
2. 夜 (first time yukke wrote the melody.)
3. 雨のオーケストラ (yukke's demo for this song was 'cheaply produced' in his own room, so he was really impressed by how the dramatic power of the song increased with the use of an orchestra.)
4. 優しい歌 (yukke feels both the band and himself have progressed because of this song, and that this song proves that language is no barrier in the world of music.)
5. フライト

Satochi:
1. 9月3日の刻印
2. 背徳のヒト (first time satochi wrote the melody)
3. 前へ
4. 優しい歌
5. キンセンカ (first time satochi tried writing lyrics. although it is difficult, satochi says he'd like to challenge himself in the future with more lyric-writing!)

Miya:
1. 断絶 (when miya made the song, it didn't hit him that much, but the first time he played it live, he was moved to tears. At that moment he understood the meaning behind making your own songs. he says: "自分の感情を演奏するって意味で、この曲がなかった今、ムックはないかもしれません。")
2. 謡声(ウタゴエ)
3. アカ (almost symbolic of mucc back then. some sort of retrofeel worldview demonstrated in this song.)
4. 娼婦 (miya believed many people got to know mucc back then because of this song. powerful, fast, yet with a mellow melody. it seemed like a new style then, only recently did he find out that the scales in the song are similar to those found in russian folk tunes.)
5. 我、在ルベキ場所

*****
Scenic's choices... (no particular order)
1. 断絶
2. 9月3日の刻印 (first song in a mucc live that hit me hard)
3. アカ
4. 廃
5. あやとり
...it's too hard to just pick 5 though!

What are your choices? :)
