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

AUTOMATIC BLUEBUCK-TICK

Buck Tick – Automatic Blue

A slightly naive, poppy and energetic song with a driving sense of speed.

The title even includes “BLUE,” doesn’t it? It’s hard to sum up what makes BUCK-TICK great in a few words, but isn’t it their ability to offer a wide range of sounds—from heavy, weighty tracks to songs like this with a thrilling sense of momentum?

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.

Night of GuernicaBUCK-TICK

BUCK-TICK – Guernica no Yoru – Sing along version

While attuned to the sound of the times yet never pandering, BUCK-TICK continues to create music brimming with originality from a solitary vantage point.

Their 21st studio album, No.0, released in 2018, includes the superb track Night of Guernica, distinguished by its melancholy waltz rhythm.

The lyrics, written by vocalist and lyricist Atsushi Sakurai and inspired by the film The Clock Was Live, which he saw at a cinema with his older brother in childhood, form a straightforward anti-war song that is nevertheless distinctly fable-like.

The dramatic development—especially the swell in the latter half—unfolds like a short film, a quality that seems very much indebted to its use of 3/4 time.

BUCK-TICK / 'Dress' Music Video

A beautiful ballad that portrays the ache of unrequited love and a journey of self-discovery.

Its gentle melody and Hidehiko Hoshino’s spacious synth sound leave a strong impression.

Atsushi Sakurai’s rich vocals evoke memories of a lost romance and a yearning for freedom.

Released in June 1993, it reached No.

5 on the Oricon charts and sold approximately 171,000 copies.

In 2005, it was also used as the opening theme for the anime Trinity Blood.

Highly recommended as a soul-stirring song for those who, even while carrying the pain of heartbreak, are trying to look ahead.

To SearchBUCK-TICK

BUCK-TICK 【TO SEARCH】

BUCK-TICK’s first single, released to the world in October 1986 on an indie label.

Unlike the later, polished gothic image, this is sharp, rough-hewn punk rock.

The lyrics hint at scheming and leave interpretation to the listener, creating a distinctly mysterious atmosphere.

It reached No.

6 on the indie singles chart and was later included as the B-side to their major-label single “Just One More Kiss.” This is a track you’ll want to hear if you want to experience the raw, primordial impulse at the band’s core.
