HeroineBUCK-TICK

This is a bold BUCK-TICK track where an inorganic, cool drum’n’bass-style rhythm intertwines with Atsushi Sakurai’s sensual, luscious vocals.

It portrays a decadent form of love, seeking a precarious sanctuary on the brink of ruin within a world closed off to just two people.

Released as a single in November 1997, it served as the lead single for the acclaimed album “SEXY STREAM LINER.” It can also be seen as a pivotal work marking the band’s shift toward boldly incorporating programmed sounds.
