Motoyuki Otsuka, also known as Otsuka Motoyuki (Da Zhong Ji Zhi, Otsuka Motoyuki was born March 4, 1964 in Tatsuno. Hyogo) is a Japanese singer/songwriter. His most prominent role is as vocalist and cofounder of the heavy metal band Dead End. They were active between 1984 and 1990. After the band disbanded in 1990, Morrie started a solo career that lasted five years before moving to New York City. He then went into hiatus. In 2005, he reemerged with Creature Creature as a solo project. This group features several well-known Japanese musicians. He was reunited with Dead End in the following four years and released a new solo studio album in 2015.

Morrie’s 2005 solo album Ectoplasm, his best-of collection, was released. It marked his return to music. He announced at the end of 2005 that he had formed Creature Creature with Tetsuya (from L’ArcenCiel), Minoru Kojima (from The Mad Capsule Markets), Shinya Yamada, and drummer Shinya Yamada. As a secret musical group, they performed at Nippon Budokan’s year-end event Danger IV. Three singles were released simultaneously on July 1, 2006 and their debut album Light&Lust, which was released by Danger Crue Records on August 30, 2006. Morrie was joined by Dead End’s members You, Minato, and Joe during the album’s recording. Joe and Hajime Okano also contributed to several songs. Morrie described it as a very moving experience and stated that he was interested in the kind of musicians and people they were. It was a great moment and I thought that Dead End would have a reunion. Only two performances were made by the band that year: at Danger V’s next event in October and at Shibuya AX’s Light&Lust concert in December.

On July 21, 2010, Creature Creature’s second studio album Inferno was released and throughout this and next year they held the smaller Purgatory, Inferno, and Paradise tours. The single “Psyche Telos” was released on June 12, 2011 by Psyche Records, a record label owned by Morrie. In September they went on the Exorcising Orpheus tour, and released a live concert video of the same name recorded at the Paradise tour finale. In June and August 2012, the singles “Rakuen/Ataraxia” and “Kurumeki/Sexus”, as well as the Sodom and Gomorah tour, were followed by the release on October 17 of the band’s third studio album Phantoms.

In 2012, Morrie performed his first solo live concert in twenty years. Extasis was held on his birthday, where he performed old and new songs. The following year he held The Nostalgia of the Infinite birthday and two Nowhere Nobody concerts. In 2014 for his fiftieth anniversary was held the third consecutive birthday concert, Now I Here Eternity, with Sugizo, Kiyoharu, You and Joe as special guests. In May was followed by the Boys of the Flesh concert. On December 25, 2014 was pre-released Morrie’s fourth studio album Hard Core Reveire, and first in almost twenty years. It was generally released on January 21, 2015 on Morrie’s indie label Nowhere Music. The album’s music is uniquely experimental, while the concept is that the reality is a dream, a hardcore illusion of waking up. On March 4, was released a limited to 500 copies half-century commemorative work Book of M: From Nowhere To Nowhere based on the concept “from birth to death”, accompanied with a 25-minute long DVD. Over the years he continued to perform his Solitude one-man solo shows.

Morrie began a solo career in 1990 and eventually moved to New York City. Roli Mosimann produced his productions, as well as Mind Bomb and Infected by The The. Mosimann would eventually produce all three studio albums of Morrie. On October 21, 1990, he released the single “Paradox”, and a month later, his debut solo album “Ignorance” was released. He released a few more singles over the next five years (his second, “Shisen no Kairaku”, included a cover of “In My Room”, by The Walker Brothers) as well as two studio albums, Romantic na and Amari ni Romantic na 1992 and Kage no Kyoen 1995 before apparently withdrawing from the public eye almost ten years later.

He later left The Wild. Liar began to gain a small following in Japan by 1984’s summer. However, Liar disbanded in the fall 1984 despite this.

Morrie, his former-Liar friend, formed Dead End with Takahiro Kagawa (“Crazy Cool Joe”), Masaaki Tano (“Crazy Cool Joe”), and Tadashi Masumoto (“Crazy Cool Joe”). Joe and he remained alone, but Joe was joined by Yuji Aachi (“You”) in 1987 just before signing a major contract at Victor Entertainment. They had limited commercial success in Japan, but they were able to sign a contract with an American record label. Their songs and videos were aired on MTV as well as radio stations. Morrie’s unique visual appearance and rough vocal tone inspired many prominent musicians from Japan’s visual-kei movement.
