Gunma, Japan (1985 – present)
BUCK-TICK (バクチク) is a Japanese rock band, formed by Imai Hisashi in 1985 in Gunma, Japan. They are commonly credited as one of the founders of the visual kei movement. Their musical style is very hard to describe as they keep changing it and developing their music all the time.
The band members are 櫻井敦司 (Sakurai Atsushi) (vocals), 今井 寿(Imai Hisashi) (guitars, noises, electronics, vocals), 星野 英彦 (Hoshino Hidehiko) (guitars, chorus), 桶口豊 (Higuchi Yutaka) (bass) and ヤガミ・トール (Yagami Toll) (drums).
BUCK-TICK have performed with, for example, Marilyn Manson, KMFDM, Soft Ballet, LUNA SEA and The Yellow Monkey. The band members have also participated in different side-projects, such as Schwein (Sakurai and Imai with Raymond Watts (Pig) and Sascha Konietzko (KMFDM)).

Lol at the Gackt in our FishTank xD To me it was a little bit generic.I don't dislike it,but I'm not liking it either.Too much pathos in it, drama ost-like ?

I thought Message was a deccent song. It had strong vocal melodies (although the chorus was a bit overdone), but it is your stereotypical ballad. Still nothing awfull imo

v LOL. xD

I always wondered how Gackt managed to sneak one of his horrible sappy ballads onto a BUCK-TICK album without anyone noticing.

JigsawJohnny wrote:
v For me, both are equally awesome. :D I'm really picky with ballads/slow songs but B-T somehow manages to make such songs that mostly work for me (except for Message, ugh).

gessekai is pretty great. I love how it's so calm but builds quite beautifully.

Yagami Toll said that the 4 songs there were working on reminds him of rockabilly and surf music. I dont know if thats a good thing, although the latter can be interesting cause they never made such a song as far as i remembered.

What i liked about the album (and the dvd) is the fact that every song has that dark, sinister though elegant feel to it.

JigsawJohnny wrote:
I agree, it's a cool/unique DVD. I think I overplayed it a bit though, haha. xD

This might be a little late, but I just got to watch the DVD for 13th Floor with Diana...and I loved it so so much.I didn't expect any less from Buck-tick: the concept was so complete, every performance had that theatre-esque feeling,like it was telling a story.
