IMPORTANT UPDATE: atsushi sakurai sadly passed away on october 19th, 2023. buck-tick will remain active as a 4-member band. we're back to normal schedule y'all! but there'll be more non-music-related videos in the future too tho. once again, sorry for taking so long to make this video
It's been two years since i found them but it's so cool to me how i came for Atsushi's 80s 90s fashion style and then ended up staying for the band and the music
🤗💖 well you came into the fandom at a Wonderful time!! 🤗💖 welcome! Today actually marks 35 years since their major Debut! And a new album is in the works! You chose an absolutely AMAZING band to get into!!! 😁💖 take it from me- I’ve been a massive BT fan now for 5 years!
i hoped to go to their concerts someday when i decided i would go to japan for higher studies following my maternal uncle. well even if i have the oppurtunity i missed out big time when atsushi was around
It makes so much sense now, watching your video again after knowing their names and watching performance, interviews, etc ( earlier i just wanted to know them because of atsushi - his edits on insta are doing the job of pulling people towards group- but you know how it ends, right, too late to back of and am deep into the band now) Few things i like abt B-T- 1) MUSIC (you can come here for atsushi but if their music wasn't good or relevant even today, i would have not stayed) 2) each member shines on their own even if they are not in spotlight- imai has crazy passion for music and his ability to make 'ahead of it's time' compositions and as a guitarist, he is just too good, Hide being asked to be the vocalist coz of looks is understandable, he is my second fave in the grp(him in pony tail>>>) 3) line up being kept intact even after 40 years (considering they started in 1983) 4) the way they took their autonomy/ freedom seriously in terms of fashion, music, image, etc in a conservative country with such niche genre 5) except few scandals here and there, how they managed to keep their image clean and life private for decades 6) deciding to promote skaurai as vocalist, i mean.... We all can agree he is the magnet and somewhat responsible for their fandom still sticking with them 7) stage presence 8) their passion for what they do Things i dont like- 1) f ing 3 decades of gap between me and them.... Not knowing them earlier or just not being born during tht era ( but if i was, living in my country, i would have never heard about them ever so thanks to internet) 2) them being sooooo less talkative ..... Earlier interviews are so awkward to watch, shy atsushi doing all the talking (but atleast this made him comfortable now) 3) them being old.... They might anytime disband/ some might leave the group coz of health/ just die 4) lack of subtitles- time to take Japanese learning seriously
I didn't think they would ever disband, but dying... sadly, you were right about that one. Never imagined Atsushi would be the first to go, and so early. Heartbreaking.
@@marinam.2293 The news about Atsushi's death appeard on my FYP just maybe one month after I actually started getting interest in the band. That was heartbreaking
so you're telling me, that Atsushi simply SPAWNED outta nowhere like 'sup lemme drum, bois" just like that?? (i understood that they were one of Imai's yankii classmates in the school) but like that, for free bahsahhashhhdrbb idk it sounds so funny in my mind, also, the vocalist argue that changed their fates to the better and Yuta's brother inclusion were the cherry on top
"Sorry foir taking so long to make this video" It´s okay, im sorry for having this on mine "to watch later" list since the day you uploaded it dajsdaj 😅
hii!! thank you so much for making this. i've been listening to buck tick for a while (not long, a few months maybe) and getting into VKEI overall, but bucktick rlly caught my attention because. well. sakurai but also my funny valentine made something in my brain go WHOO!! so i decided to get into them further when my hyperfixaiton on them came back. this video is really fun and it's a godsend since so many things are inaccessible in vkei fan spaces hehe.
thanks to sakurai for volunteered to be vocalist,ngl his voice is *chef kiss but their story from start really interesting me tho like..not inspiring that much but really interesting.
Anyone knows if foreign fans can somehow stream december memorial concert? I still didn't wrap my head around the fact, that Atsushi is gone. I discovered them as a kid through anime Nightwalker Detective. It's been 25 years. Kokoro ga kowarete iku, my heart is broken 💔. Rest in Peace Acchan.
Nunca tinha prestado tanta atenção na banda, sendo sincero. As poucas coisas que tinha escutado na época foram uma dose de músicas tristes, o que nunca fez muito o meu... Nunca foram parte do tom que eu buscava no meu dia-a-dia. Mas agora, nessa revisitada à bandas que nunca tiveram chances comigo, encontrei um tesouraço chamado BUCK-TICK! É música de véio, é! Só que é bãão demaise! Meu jam atual tá sendo "kagerou", ela tem esse traço melancólico e sóbrio que eu gosto no som da banda só que numa baladinha, bem gostosinha de ouvir. Amo demais! Obrigado pelo guia, nunca que eu ia saber o nome deles ou ir tão fundo pra saber sobre a história da banda e as curiosidades (eles são bons, mas não me pegaram tanto assim :P). Fora as músicas que você coloca como degustação! Vídeo perfeito! Que trabalhão!
que bom te ver por aqui! tô muito feliz q eu consegui te conquistar com meu videozinho ♥ kagerou realmente é uma música muito boa, eu curto bastante essa vibe mais dark/melancólica deles. música de véio sempre é boa de ouvir kkkk
I've been a fan for 18 years and Toll's words were one of the things I never forgot, back then there were so few places where we could find B-T's translated info so I used to read buck-tick zone over and over. I never ever thought Atsushi would be the first one to go, I'm still in denial, I wanted them to be together forever, I'll forever be in denial.
Hey, you should consider doing voiceover for these so they can be played in the background. While the info is very interesting, staring at w wall of text isn't very engaging, just my 2 cents. I do think you're doing a great job at digging up the info and putting it together though. Cheers!
TYSM for making this guide and sharing interesting facts 🫶 I've been listening to buck-tick for years but didn't know so much of them. I also watch some of their interviews but some of them didn't have subtitles😭
Do you keep a blog? Would love to see your opinions but - gonna be real honest - I don't watch youtube to read things, I expected this to be a spoken video/podcast at the very least! ^^;
wait, can u explain to me more? because i keep hearing that "visual kei isnt a fashion subculture its a music genre" and "visual kei is a fashion subculture" and it confuses me which one is right
visual kei is a fashion subculture with influences in music, the name says it all: visual KEI, "kei" in japanese means style referring to fashion (decora kei, fairy kei, mori kei, jirai kei etc.) another way to simplify this is like the example i gave; that's how you can fit the gazette, versailles, an cafe and kiryu inside the same box despite them looking and sounding completely different from one another, because like any fashion subcultures, visual kei has ramifications, but at the end of the day, the basis is the same
@@mirushiroi When I think of V-kei, I think of Malice Mizer. I think Buck-Tick is pure Goth. I am old enough to have been through the Punk and Goth movements in the US in the 80s, so I would say that Imai-san is more playing the part of a 化け狸 in his various guises.
@@mirushiroi Also, when I see Imai-san's costume progression over the years, he reminds me of Noh theatre and the 中将 mask; I think this is also the part that he plays in the band. Toru-san is sensei as he is the oldest, but Imai picks new and exciting directions for Buck-Tick to explore, musically. What do you think?

"Atsushi volunteered to be the vocalist"
A decision that has made history
It's been two years since i found them but it's so cool to me how i came for Atsushi's 80s 90s fashion style and then ended up staying for the band and the music
Atsushis "fashion style"
I discovered Buck Tick last week and now I'm OBSESSED 😮
Honestly when I was reading about them I thought their story was really inspiring.
Imai my favorite of all time
I love his songwriting style, fashion, industrial noises and dad dance moves
i literally came across them TODAY and then you posted this…perfect timing hahaha
🤗💖 well you came into the fandom at a Wonderful time!! 🤗💖 welcome! Today actually marks 35 years since their major Debut! And a new album is in the works! You chose an absolutely AMAZING band to get into!!! 😁💖 take it from me- I’ve been a massive BT fan now for 5 years!

Few things i like abt B-T-
1) MUSIC (you can come here for atsushi but if their music wasn't good or relevant even today, i would have not stayed)
2) each member shines on their own even if they are not in spotlight- imai has crazy passion for music and his ability to make 'ahead of it's time' compositions and as a guitarist, he is just too good, Hide being asked to be the vocalist coz of looks is understandable, he is my second fave in the grp(him in pony tail>>>)
3) line up being kept intact even after 40 years (considering they started in 1983)
4) the way they took their autonomy/ freedom seriously in terms of fashion, music, image, etc in a conservative country with such niche genre
5) except few scandals here and there, how they managed to keep their image clean and life private for decades
6) deciding to promote skaurai as vocalist, i mean.... We all can agree he is the magnet and somewhat responsible for their fandom still sticking with them
7) stage presence
8) their passion for what they do
Things i dont like-
1) f ing 3 decades of gap between me and them.... Not knowing them earlier or just not being born during tht era ( but if i was, living in my country, i would have never heard about them ever so thanks to internet)
2) them being sooooo less talkative ..... Earlier interviews are so awkward to watch, shy atsushi doing all the talking (but atleast this made him comfortable now)
3) them being old.... They might anytime disband/ some might leave the group coz of health/ just die
4) lack of subtitles- time to take Japanese learning seriously
Yeah, you basically predicted something very sad...
I didn't think they would ever disband, but dying... sadly, you were right about that one. Never imagined Atsushi would be the first to go, and so early. Heartbreaking.

@@krolowahejterow8965 I'm still crying, over four months later. The loss of Sakurai Atsushi was tragic.

Yo conocí a la banda en el 2004 y hoy 24 de octubre de 2023 anunciaron que Atsushi se ha hecho ido de nuestro lado.❤
omg thanks for this video¡ i'm new fan of buck-tick and everyday i want to know everything about them. such a great band
Yall... atsushi died😥😥 rip 🕊
I found out about them a few years ago because of trinity blood and became obsessed! I wouldn't have gotten into vkei if it wasn't for them
same! i love TB and B-T is just as awesome , damn
Would you ever make a video in this style about Malice Mizer?
i need one so bad so i can finally have help articulating what i want to say when i try and tell people about them 😢
Thanks for the video, Ive only recently started listening to Buck-Tick, and I appreciate their music very much💖
Rest in Peace :(

Gracias! Thanks! I met the band about a month ago, and I like them. Greetings from La Paz, Bolivia!

i thought about it, but i don't think voiceovers fit the format of my videos
Can you do one of this for Dir En Grey
TYSM for making this guide and sharing interesting facts 🫶 I've been listening to buck-tick for years but didn't know so much of them. I also watch some of their interviews but some of them didn't have subtitles😭
Hey! Do you maybe remember where you found their self-portraits? They are too funny. xD Especially Hide's
hey! i found them on their individual profiles at bucktickzone.com
aku no hana came out in 1990 not 1989
thank youuu
I didn't know about Hide's deaf ear. Is there explanation about it? Probably not, since you didn't include any.
WHO THE FUCK IS ATUSHI SAKURAI??? …… he’s right behind me isn’t he
Thank you so much for this guide! There's only a little nformation about them nor in Japanesse.
Do you keep a blog? Would love to see your opinions but - gonna be real honest - I don't watch youtube to read things, I expected this to be a spoken video/podcast at the very least! ^^;
hey, thanks for the feedback, but as i've mentioned before, i don't think voiceovers fit my video format
Please tell me what video is this clip from 9:26 I'll be forever grateful thanks 😭
