BUCK-TICK is an active visual kei band in Gunma. They are part of the kurofuku kei, okeshou kei, and soft visual subgenres. They have been active since 1984.
I wonder if it's a universal thing or just me but I cry each time I hear "dress" or see a picture of Atsushi I miss him so much (it kills me knowing I wont be able to witness him singing live)
I'm not an avid vkei listener but BUCK-TICK is the only vkei band that i listen to on the daily, my #1 band. Their music should be more recognised amongst international rock/pop fans as they take lots of inspiration from non-japanese artists. I think their music is the best in the entirety of the music industry but they never got the attention they deserve...
I love Toll I wish he was real ^-^ As the Germans (might) say, Toll ist toll! On a serious note oh my GOD this band slaps and I wish I discovered them sooner. Their more lively songs make me wanna dance and their more calm songs make me wanna cry. RIP Atsushi king </3
god damn i love buck tick, their music soothes me like nothing else. i could lecture people about them for all eternity. im listening to "AI NO UTA" from the mona lisa overdrive album as im writing this. this clearly shows my dedication. everytime i hear a nanosecond of their music i start foaming from the mouth, and the members are so awesome, everytime i catch a glimpse of a band image of buck tick i start squealing and curling my feet. also dont get me started on hidehiko hoshino because GAH DAMNNNNUUHHH!!!!! hes so cool, i genuinely need new music to obsess over that isn't just buck tick. this isn't even funny. i first discovered them on march 1st, 2024. i haven't been the same since. ever since that fateful day, i have been unable to stop listening to this band. i think of them every waking hour. they're constantly showing up in my dreams. i can't escape buck tick. their music just seems to resonate with my soul unlike how any other band could. their music is truly one of a kind. play even just a split second of one of their songs, and I guarantee I'll instantly know who it's by. thats just how much I love them. everything in my life has become a buck tick reference. I can't escape buck tick. theyre everywhere I go. If you think you want to get to know me, think otherwise. my buck tick obsession is too strong.
This is my favorite band of all time, i could talk about them for hours. Maybe it's because i'm autistic- but music has always beeb really important to me, but with BUCK-TICK is different. I can feel that the five of them really love doing what they do, and Acchan's voice gives me the chills! I've never seen someone sing with this much passion. Most of the comments are grieving, and don't get me wrong, i can see why, i was really affected by his passing. But let's also cherish what a man he was, and his existence! Let's also cherish the new BUCK-TICK and how the other members are strong too! Let's celebrate what a delight Acchan was and the good moments, and let's keep on going strong with BUCK-TICK! You will live on my heart forever.
I got into Buck-Tick way too late. I admittedly only discovered them thanks to the anime Shiki using their song “くちづけ” as the intro. I was absolutely devastated when I found out Astushi had already passed. I'm thankful for all of his work and his beautiful words that he had chose to share with us all.♡
Sakurai's ability to connect his fans through his lyrics and great performances is truly beautiful. His music has inspired countless of fans and aspiring musicians. He have been a big part of the visual kei community, it is still very depressing that he is no longer with us.
marquis Our policy is to keep deceased members as "current members" until the band says otherwise. So Atsushi is not a "former member." Please don't change it again. Thank you!
I will always remember Atsushi as a legend, his style, voice and his contribution to Dark wave to give way to the visual kei influences were something that we will never forget. I love every single Buck Tick song, I'll never forget any of them. I love them.
Rest in peace, Acchan. You left your soul on stage, you fulfilled your dreams and made us happy, thank you very much.
