[BUCK-TICK Masterpieces] Popular Songs by the Legendary Band with an Overwhelming Presence

wreckageBUCK-TICK

Zangai (Wreckage) – Buck-Tick (English Sub)

A song that unfolds a worldview where a deranged angel sings atop rubble and a cold, unending rain falls—a tapestry of profound love and despair.

This is BUCK-TICK’s 20th single, released in January 2003.

It was used as the ending theme for TV Asahi’s “Beat Takeshi’s TV Tackle” and is also included on the album “Mona Lisa OVERDRIVE.” Its unique allure arises from meticulous guitar riffs and rhythms intertwined with perverse lyrics.

Possessing a timeless quality that transcends eras, the track has continued to be heard across generations.

After appearing at major festivals and performing alongside Marilyn Manson, BUCK-TICK gained a new following.

Recommended not only for rock fans but also for anyone drawn to darker aesthetics.

New WorldBUCK-TICK

BUCK-TICK / “New World” Music Video

This track was released as the lead single for their 20th album, Atom Miraiha No.9, which came out in 2016.

The guitar phrases, which have a floating, cosmic feel, combine with vocalist Atsushi Sakurai’s voice to create a distinctive sound that no other band can produce.

The lyrics, which depict a gentle lie—singing that “there is hope in this world” even though the future is by no means bright—pierce the heart.

CoyoteBUCK-TICK

Buck Tick Coyote – Sub Español Live

It’s a masterpiece whose dry lyricism strikes the heart, as if you can picture someone walking alone across a wilderness at dusk.

The distinct view of life and death characteristic of Atsushi Sakurai, who wrote the lyrics, is deeply reflected here, portraying the protagonist’s quiet resolve in the face of an unavoidable fate.

This track is included on the acclaimed album “memento mori,” released in February 2009.

Listen to it on a solitary, contemplative night or as a companion on a long drive, and you’ll find yourself immersed in a lingering afterglow—as if you’ve watched a film.

Succubus ~ The NightmareBUCK-TICK

[BUCK-TICK] 14.- Muma ~ The Nightmare

This track appears near the end of BUCK-TICK’s standout concept album “Juusankai wa Gekkou,” released in April 2005.

It conjures a nightmare-like scene in which a wandering soul in the afterlife joins the procession of a hyakki-yagyō.

The dramatic development woven by the heavy band sound and ethereal sonics pulls the listener into a darkly beautiful realm.

A centerpiece of the band’s gothic live staging, it’s the perfect song for immersing yourself in a decadent, beautiful worldview.

KagerouBUCK-TICK

BUCK-TICK – Kagerou (Subbed)

Everything ends up looking sexy—the way they sing, the way they simply stare, even just their normal presence exudes an intense allure.

It’s a music video that’s almost too sultry and too cool, with the members performing in an all-black room.

And the vocalist’s voice matches that atmosphere perfectly.

SpeedBUCK-TICK

BUCK-TICK / Speed [Victor Years]

In the process of working toward a goal, there will be times when you need to pick up speed.

This song is perfect for those moments.

Even during crunch time, when you might start to feel rushed, it lifts your spirits and puts you in the mood to dash through with a bright outlook.

Honestly, I really think good music is like a supplement you take in through your ears.

kissBUCK-TICK

kiss

A milestone 30th single.

This work was composed upon request to serve as the opening song for the anime “Shiki.” In creating the song, the members read the original manga to thoroughly understand its world, and composed it based on that.

As a result, the atmosphere of the music and the lyrics match the content very well.
