A special single "Suisou" was sold by the members themselves on June 9th at the Like an Edison store in Shinjuku, Tokyo. The next day the second pressing of "Fu wo Tataeru Uta" was released. September 6th (which is known as reverse MUCC day) was the release date of their second full length album Houmura Uta. The limited first pressing sold out quickly, so a second pressing was released next month on the 18th. This pressing came with MUCC's first PV in CD-EXTRA format. The album was re-released again on August 17th, 2004.
