This work is BUCK-TICK’s 13th single, released in March 1998, known as a cut from the album Sexy Stream Liner.

The lyrics, written by Atsushi Sakurai, depict a one-sided, sensual relationship in which the narrator venerates the other like a dream and likens himself to a slave surrendering to desire.

Sakurai’s mysterious vocals intertwine with the industrial sound, further accentuating the song’s alluring, shadowy charm.

Give it a listen on a night when you want to immerse yourself deeply in the decadent world that distills BUCK-TICK’s experimental spirit.

Dreaming UniverseBUCK-TICK53rank/position

BUCK-TICK – Ymemiru Uchuu 2012

This is a work that feels as if you’re gently cradled by the vast cosmos, with a dreamy, floating sensation that is deeply soothing.

Atsushi Sakurai weaves words full of compassion that embrace loneliness, softly colored by Hisashi Imai’s spacey effects and shimmering guitar sounds.

Released to the world in May 2012 as the B-side to the single “Für Elise,” it was later reworked as the title track for the album “Yume Miru Uchuu,” commemorating the 25th anniversary of their debut in September of the same year.

The fact that it was the first release from their own label can also be seen as symbolic of their journey.

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.

BRAN-NEW LOVERBUCK-TICK56rank/position

Bran-New Lover

A track that feels somehow decadent, yet grabs the heart with a piercing pop sensibility.

Released by BUCK-TICK in July 1999 as their 15th single, it’s a gem whose incredibly catchy melody shines, just as composer Hisashi Imai described it as “super pop.” At the same time, Atsushi Sakurai’s lyrics, set against the end-of-the-world mood of the era, paint a fierce yet beautiful vision: even in the despair of the world’s end, the desire to melt into the one you love.

Listen to it on a night when you feel crushed by inescapable anxiety, and you might sense a strength and solace like a single flower blooming amid ruin.

It feels as though it embodies the band’s own journey.

While it’s the 12th single and pop and easy to listen to, the intense, edgy band sound creates a unique atmosphere.

There’s an anecdote that during their period of pursuing a darker direction, they aimed to craft a “so pop it feels out of place” song.

You’ll likely struggle with the sound design when trying to cover it…
