BUCK-TICK, who constantly pursue a uniquely original worldview, released their 41st single in March 2023 as the first installment commemorating the 35th anniversary of their major-label debut.

Inspired by the Greek myth of Icarus, the song was composed by Hidehiko Hoshino with lyrics by Atsushi Sakurai.

Its poetic universe, which simultaneously portrays the exhilaration of charging toward dreams and aspirations and the aesthetics of ruin that await beyond, resonates powerfully with listeners.

It is a work brimming with energy that feels as if it will give a strong push to anyone on the verge of a new challenge.

This BUCK-TICK classic captivates listeners with the floating, otherworldly timbre of the theremin.

The lyrics, said to have been inspired by Atsushi Sakurai’s hospitalization experience, evoke a sensation of drifting between dream and reality.

Released as a single in May 1998, the song also served as the opening theme for the anime Night Walker: Mayonaka no Tantei.

It’s a perfect listen for a quiet, solitary night, when you want to reflect on your inner self under the moonlight.

BUCK-TICK “From the Far East with Love” [Music Video]

After moving to the label BMG Funhouse, this was the second release and the twelfth album in total, included on “From the Far East, I LOVE YOU,” and later released as the lead single.

From the content of the lyrics and the words used, it makes you think that war may be the motif.

Of course, interpretations will vary from listener to listener.

Is it truly possible to love and cherish those who oppose us? Isn’t this a mindset more people should have? I feel like this speaks to contemporary society.

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?

Buck Tick GLAMOROUS (DIQ 06)

A 17th single released in 2000.

It’s one of BUCK-TICK’s brighter, more refreshing songs, depicting the endearing moments of a couple.

Whether you have a partner or not, it might lift your spirits or set you adrift in contemplation.

HeroineBUCK-TICK66rank/position

Heroine

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.

This work portrays a searing cry of the soul, swaying between love and sin.

Released by BUCK-TICK in January 2020, the song reached No.

6 on the Oricon weekly chart.

In Atsushi Sakurai’s lyrical world, the joy of love intertwines with the pain of the flesh, laying bare the protagonist’s contradictory emotions as they seek both forgiveness and punishment at once.

On nights when you long to sink into an inescapably decadent mood, why not surrender yourself to its irresistible allure?

“Megami” (Goddess) is a song included on BUCK-TICK’s 11th original album, “ONE LIFE, ONE DEATH,” released in 2000.

It depicts a ruinous kind of love that feels affection by hurting the beloved.

A goddess who forgives everything.

In a sense, it’s violent, and I think it represents the ultimate form of love.

Thanks to Atsushi Sakurai’s vocals, it’s not just a dance tune; it exudes an atmosphere reminiscent of a devil’s masquerade.
