[atel]

their Romance PV was pretty good.

edit:
i knew they were together for a long time, but i didn't realize it was since 1985... pretty good for band, i'd say.

[JING-JING]

I don't know much about them. I remember listening to their song "Alice in Wonderland Underground". I like it XD

[MySugarCat]

^Yeah, they're really good! I'm especially in love with Atsushi's voice *_*. I always get so starry-eyed when listening to him speak/sing.

Atsushi's solo work is pretty good, too.

^Taiji live performance. I really like this song.

their Romance PV was pretty good.

edit:
i knew they were together for a long time, but i didn't realize it was since 1985... pretty good for band, i'd say.

Since they were around for so long, a lot of jrockers like Gackt, HYDE, and Dir en Grey idolize BUCK-TICK.

This has nothing to do w/the music, but Gackt went fanboy when he met Atsushi. He kept talking about how beautiful he was xD.

^ haha. that would been funny to see. but i could see why he'd say that. sakurai atsushi has a certain (stage) presence.
going even more on a tangent... i think atsushi is like one of those people who look better as they get older...

[MySugarCat]

I totally agree--he ages extremely well. He also has this elegance and respectable/gentlemanly quality that's rare to see nowadays.

[MySugarCat]

PEOPLE.. try Buck-Tick. They are extremely talented musicians D:.

^Gensou no Hana. I think this song is absolutely beautiful. Because Atsushi looks especially lovely in this video, I advise you to listen to the song before watching the video (I know this is bad, but Atsushi distracts me from fully experiencing the song).

[gisbiz]

omg

I'm soooooooo madly in love with Atsushi!!!

he's probably one of the sexiest man alive!!!

[uhrelax]

FINALLY someone makes a Buck-Tick thread.
One of my favorite bands ever. :]

[MySugarCat]

^Yes, I make the thread but hardly anyone posts. Pfft.. they can all keep their Alice Nine! See what we care :'(.

omg

I'm soooooooo madly in love with Atsushi!!!

he's probably one of the sexiest man alive!!!

He totally is. He gets even more gorgeous as he ages! Ahh.. I can imagine him looking sexy fine at 80!! Ahaha.. JK ':D.

[gisbiz]

you took the words out of my mouth! indeed!

[JING-JING]

So, I tried out one of their albums last night, 悪の華 (Aku no Hana). I actually do like their music. I wish that I had tried out their stuff earlier.

So far, I'm loving "ドレス (Dress)" and "Kiss Me Good-Bye".

[MOCCHism]

i cant believe it.. a buck-tick thread

my nr.1 band <3

and yes, dress would be my alltime fav!

they sometimes remind me of the cure.. the smokings and hair
