The band “Unlucky Morpheus” has decided to keep up with the times and change its name to “Unlucky Murakami”
The band, known to M-League fans for their M-League inspired songs Top of the ‘M’ and ‘M’ Revolution, made the announcement on Tuesday, a day after Murakami Jun registered his 4th last place in a row.
At the time of writing, the 2nd round pick for the Akasaka Drivens had a record of 0/0/1/4 and a score of -316.0, almost 200 points less than the next player. Murakami hadn’t won any of his last 39 hands, dealt in with 13 of them and he went into the negatives in all 4 of his lasts.
When we contacted the band about the name change, Shiren (the artist who wrote the lyrics of the two songs) sent us this:
To lose 1 or 2 games can mean that you are a bit unlucky. To lose 4 games in a row means that you have truly angered the mahjong gods.
Take a look at it this way: Morpheus (whoever that is) probably has never played mahjong and currently holds a score of ±0.0. Murakami has played 5 games and has a score of -316.0. In order to preserve the accuracy of our band name, we decided it was appropriate to change it.
Shiren also added, “Our song ‘Top of the M’ now has new meaning. The ‘M’ now stands for ‘Murakami’ and is indicative of how all players are now above him in the standings.”
In other news, Cy the Rhino and Murakami are bonding well and Cy is now providing Murakami with emotional support.
