They'e amazing and I don't think I'm prepared for when they eventually call it quits.

That's what scares me. I'm certain that they will go on for as long as possible, but nevertheless... Makes me wish I was older (or they younger) lol.

Wait, there really wasn't a Buck-Tick thread here until now? And they call this place a VK site?

I also couldn't believe it at first, but I searched everywhere and there was none.

I'm really moved by the friendship and connection between all the members, even most marriages don't work that long or smoothly. Even more so when I read Imai was looking into a medium that they were all destined to meet from a past life haha.

I guess aside from loving Atsushi's lyrics, style and what he's overcome /B-T experimentation, I really just envy to have such friends.

That's also one of the things about them that I really adore. I know it sounds childish, but for me the image of a "band" is one of a bunch of good friends making music and having fun together. So, I think it's really off-putting if other musicians admit to not getting along with their band members (like for example Takanori Nishikawa in the interview with them from 2014 said: B-T are basically the only ones who still do everything together). Them "finding" each other was truly a blessing.

And I mean, managing to stick with the same guys for over 30 years also confirms that their personalities can't be that bad. 😊

Atsushi is also probably one of the most attractive men alive.

I agree 100%, lol.

Personally, I like their earlier work the most: Seventh Heaven, Aku no Hana and Kurutta Taiyou are absolutely perfect. My favourite songs are probably Angelic Conversation and Dress.

I was surprised to see that there was no topic on Buck-Tick so far, seeing as they're one of the pioneers of Visual Kei and have been going strong for over 30 years now.

Who else listens to B-T? What do you think of them?

It's a shame that Lareine disbanded last year.

It's crazy to think how back then their disbandment was only recent, but now (it feels like) it's been an eternity... Sadly, way before I was a fan.

Has anybody seen that picture where Kyo (Dir en grey) is sitting on Emiru's lap?

I'd love to see that 😆

I discovered this site just the day before yesterday and decided that I absolutely have to join.

I came across visual kei 5~6 years ago (thanks to youtube) and have been obsessed since then. 

At first, I was really into smaller and newer bands, like Mejibray. Then I started listening to Malice Mizer, who are still one of my big loves to this day. I also really enjoyed (still do) bands with a similar style, for example Versailles, Lareine, Moi dix Mois, D and I occasionally listen to Dir en Grey and L'arc en Ciel. X Japan have been one of my favourites for a long time as well. I also really like a couple of indies old school/kote kei songs.

Nearly 4 years ago I got into Buck-Tick and they've been my favourite band ever since. 

I'm already looking forward to being on here and finding more great music (and people to chat/discuss with)!
