MacRyanMac You should try their "darker and edgier" 90s era like Kalavinka :P Better yet, just go through all 20 of their albums and make a video here ;)
Atsushi Sakurai probably has the best voice in all of visual kei music, and his presence is amazing. Check out the live cover of Dress by Abingdon Boys School where Sakurai walks out on stage to sing. It wasn't his show, but he MADE IT his show.
石川俊哉 This isn't a discussion about their voices. He said Atsushi made the stage his the moment he stepped into it, and that's exactly what happened. And anyway, it was his song to start with. No matter how loudly and powerfully Kyo can sing, that's not the way to capture Dress' subtle emotions. It's a delicate, poignant song.
Raccoon Child Kyo still outclasses him in lyrics and delivery along with stage presence. Kyo has a far better stage presence and puts on a far superior show.
Just to add some description, Atsushi is actually one of the hottest guys that ever existed in the history of rock music. You should view his record: Speed as well. One of the best. Although Dress is always my favourite. His Nihonggo is so smooth. There is not a day that I will not replay "Dress" 3 times in a row.
Buck-Tick is one of the best bands in the world. They have this amazing, huge rock sound that I've never heard before. The two guitarists are fantastic, but the bass player is almost a musical genius. And Toll, our beloved Toll is a master of drumming. Please do hear "Misshitsu"; it's one of their greatest songs. Thank you soooooooooo much!!!
I falling in love with your reacts, B-T is one of the bands of my life, they're sounds sooooo unique and special vibes, their style music is always changing and mixing with a lot of kinds of music. Your coment about the name it's true is for the shoot sound and Ani or Toll Yagami (The Drummer) has always had the same mohawk for more than 30 years it's his 80's aesthetic and kind of remember of their started in music industry. Imai (The guitarrist and leader) always draws the letters on his face with eyeliner, always in differents types and always dance like MISS TAKE video xD, Atsushi Sakurai (Vocal) is the mysterious one and his nails are always fabolous, he co-write with the leader all the lyrics and not always tell stories but the songs have personalities and aesthetic some times its for the kind of genre of music and anothers are for the topic of the album, they're a lot inspired in art or artistic movements like russian constructivism and others of the 20th century. B-T are magical band, their lives are awesome and take you to another world with their music.
The only song of them I know is Kuchizuke and not while I watched Shiki... I knowed this song before, but forgot who made it and as I watched Shiki I was like: "I know this song, but can't search it, cause I forgot the name of it and who made it" and after it I remeberd and listened to it like thousand times but than I forgot about this band, because when you know over hundret bands from different countrys and you listen to so many, than you sometimes forget about someone.... lol
BUCK-TICK is the best band ever! You got everything right, the 80's feeling on many songs, the arrangements, Atsushi's amazing voice, the just done right music! What impresses me the most is that they are still releasing amazing albums even after 30 years and they are still good friends and coworkers. Can you name many bands like this? Listen to all their stuff if you can, the real brilliance starts at Kurutta Taiyou, one of their masterpieces.
"Simple done right " , nicely said . And for the band vocal, yes , you are right on thinking that he is magician and that he is using spell to make this band great , he is like that on live shows , you need so watch it. And for the bad quality of their old videos, you will be disappointed , but huge number of j-music had the tradition some years ago to limit the quality of their videos, so that those who want to see HD quality, had to buy singles , and while they recently abandoned that, it dosent mean they will put their old MV in HD quality on youtube. And at the end, if you can , react to GOTCHAROCKA , specially on their single " Gekiai"
Am glad you like it, Atsushi has one of the best voices in Japan, he is awesome and yes, he is good casting spells in people, he is charming. I recommend you to listen to Coyote, it's awesome. By the way if you like Buck tick give a try to "The Mortal" Atsushi's newest side project, my fav song is Cities in dust, a cover of The Banshees.
Oh my god. I actually screamed when I saw this video in my feed. XD I'm so happy you liked them! Buck-Tick is my favorite band, but I don't think they've ever toured outside of Japan though...guess I'll just have to sell my soul for a ticket overseas. :p
First time I heard Buck-Tick was, when I was watching this one vampire anime called Night Walker, years ago. The said series had Gessekai as their opening theme.That's how I found them.
i totally adore this reaction. 🥰 great songs, love that they’re from like 3 different phases and it just showed how great BT and I love that you appreciate their music. there’s fans ofc, but outside of japan they are vastly underrated. thanks so much for this
Thank you so much for reacting to Buck-Tick!! ;;w; They were one of the first bands I ever got into as a child and every single song I listened to just .. made me fall deeper and deeper in love haha ;;//w//;; They have the ability to create a really classic rock sound as well as experimenting with a lot of other musical styles, like cabaret-like numbers, /them latin rhythms hehe ;3c/ punk and synthesised rock.. i’ve always thought that their breadth of skill is amazing. ;u; and I haven’t heard one song from their entire discography that I don’t like .. they honestly put a spell on me too ;w; There's definitely something there, like, the sort of feeling that even though it's the first time you've heard it it's music that you feel like you were meant to hear .. ;vv; and I love Tooru's hair and Imai's little kicks and spins when he dances hehe >w< They are definitely at their peak during lives, so I agree with everyone recommending to watch concert lives! >u< Imai and Hoshino like to add extra guitar parts during them and Atsushi's pitched falsetto is.. really haunting and I love it so so much ;w; Atsushi has always been one of the most amazing performers for me… I can't put into words how incredible he is and how effortlessly he performs. I think it's the combination of his and Imai's songwriting skill that have created this sound that began with the kind of punk that was different from other punks at the time by combining it with romanticism and lyricism… they've inspired many bands from then on and I've always thought they were incredibly private and humble musicians ;v; B-T have come a really long way and it's really nice to see someone react to them hehe >/////< I nearly started crying during this video ahhh ///w;//// sorry this got so long hehe.. I just wanna say thank you ;u;
I just watched this video and I want to say just one thing... where the hell have you being? 🤣🤣🤣 BT just celebrated their 30th anniversary and they are indeed one of the best Japanese Rock bands of all times and. I am glad you have finally “reacted” to BT... they are awesome. 😍✌️ That’s ok, I discovered them 6 years ago and almost passed out when I watched Acchan with that long hair singing DRESS.
Buck-Tick is my favorite! Miss-Take is one of my favorites live because he acts out the lyrics and it's beautiful. You MUST watch their live videos even if you dont do a react video to them. They are just as good love as recorded. Unfortunately they don't tour outside Japan so I have never seen them in person. Imai (guitarist) does not have B-T tattooed on his face HOWEVER he recently got some dental work done and now has a gold tooth with B-T carved into it. He posted it on his blog like last year? Or something? So glad you loved them. Now go enjoy the 200ish other songs by them! Ps. Anyone else find it amusing that he's wearing a cat shirt during this video? Haha!
this band is simply wonderful. they explored so many music styles during their long long career but they also did so many experiments in the 90s that many fans couldn't handle....they started using "pure" rock band sound in the 00s but now went back to their well-known use of techno and noise...AND their works are often art inspired...AND it takes the drummer about an hour to put his hair up. (personally I don't link them to the visual keis since their music style is more like the British in the 80s) ;-)
I always thought nobody thinks about Buck Tick but now i'm so happy that you reacted to them!!! Thank you so much and you should listen the old songs like Sexual XXX, Moonlight, Misty blue, Misty zone, Jupiter, Sakura and Victims of love, you won't regret it!
Another nice reaction video. Other BUCK-TICK songs you may like are: Plastic Syndrome Type II, Fly High, Moonlight, For Dangerous Kids, Stay Gold, Romanesque, ...In Heaven... , Aku no Hana, Ash-ra, Kagerou, and Kuchizuke.
Welcome to the rabbit hole. Damn right he's got you under a spell. You will never be the same. Enjoy! And do try to see them live bc you nailed it as far as the freak out when they play. Buck Tick are just like that shotgun you envisioned. BAM!!
When I saw the caption, I KNEW I was going to enjoy this. Buck-Tick is one of my favourite bands and Acchan's voice is just so.... I don't know how to explain it. It has that je ne sais quoi that just draws you in. They played different styles over the years, but they have that overall sound that you just know it's them. You should listen to the rest of their stuff, like Galaxy, Rendezvous, Alice in Wonder Underground, etc etc etc... all songs are just SO GOOD. I also agree with the rest of the comments :D You should react to Gackt! He was the vocalist of Malice Mizer for a while, but then went independent. Songs like Mizerable, Vanilla, Redemption, Love Letter, Setsugekka, Returner are just amazing! There are so many songs I could recommend from him (I loved him for the longest time, since I discovered his music in 2003 :D ) PS: I really enjoy watching your videos! A lot of other people end up making fun of these bands and it kind of pisses me off. I've been listening to vkei for close to 15 years now and the music is addicting and just.... great! It's different than Western metal and that makes me happy :D because anything goes and it always ends up being great!
Thank you for reacting to BUCK-TICK! It's great seeing people discovering them. (I've been a fan for about 14 years.) I hope you keep listening to them outside of this reaction video. Their discography is huge, so there's a lot to dig through!
Buck tick its just more than amazing. 30 years of career, amazing visuals, amazing music, just beautiful lyrics and a handsome vocalist. It's a shame they don't want to do concerts in other countries.
This makes me happy :D I've been a big fan of BT for ...15 years? I had the chance to see them live twice and it was so powerful. I was very close to the stage the second time and nearly fainted!
OMG Thank you for reacting to B-T "Dress" is eargasm :3 You should watch the live version of Dress, including a cover version with Abingdon Boys School. BTW if you want to be in a BUCK-TICK concert you have to travel to Japan :'D it would be a miracle if they leave Japan for a World Tour
Finally!! I'm so happy you finally reacted to them. Next time maybe you could do a live reaction? I would recommend Snow White, Coyote and Kiss me Goodbye. They are amazing live
So. This is the first video of yours I've ever seen. And only watched it because BUCK-TICK is my favorite band. For what it's worth, KUCHIZUKE is actually the song that got me into the band. It was used as the opening for the anime SHIKI, and it got me to watch the entire first season, despite not being into horror at all. On a side note, the name BUCK TICK is a reference to the Japanese word for firecracker, bakuchiku.
I was an anime fan and then I discovered opening and closing songs were quite often done by current artists in Japanese. First Japanese anime: Midnight Detective so the 1st and 2nd Jrock songs were Gessekai by BuckTick and Mirai Kouro by La'Cryma Christi. I was floored. So started my trek into Japanese music and I've actually learned a bit of Japanese language. I've seen Miyavi twice, the Vamps once, and Le~Arc~En~Ciel 2012 at Madison Square Garden. Glad I found them. Flower by Le~Arc is my fav. Buck Tick means firecracker.
the drummer with the high mohawk is Yagami Toll (not his real name) Imai's face tattoo isn't real (sorry) (fun fact) When Atsushi had those nails, he had trouble picking up chopsticks because he wasn't used to wearing fake nails. Romance was bucktick's most viewed video on RUclips over 1 million views (but the video was deleted)
Big fan of them for 14 years (found them back in high school)! And they've still been making music since then!! They're great. Also, "a simple, raw band sound" is what they aim for. I think they've done such neat stuff with their ever-evolving style, but keeping that a little bit of that band 80's sound consistent. If you're curious, "Buck-Tick" (bakku-chiku) is a sort of play on words. It means "firecracker" in Japanese. But certainly it brings up a whole lot of weird imagery in English, right? "Bakku" in Japanese is also onomatopoeia the sound of... like an explosion or exclamation, while "chiku" means like "tic"--like the tic of a drum or clock. Thanks for doing this!!
I wouldn't say react to it, but listen to the Abingdon Boys School cover of this song that is live and has Atsushi as a guest. Let me know what you think.
yaaay I LOVE YOOOUU!! and yes.. buck tick have that effect.. you heard and is like...there is something I like but i don't know what! buck tick just catch you *- * how happy i feel you like and finally react
Oh yes, you finally did it! Thank you very much! :D I did not expect to see my comment right in the middle. Guess I bugged you way too often, haha. Also, their name is an anglicized form of bakuchiku which means firecrackers in Japanese, so the pistol shot and being 'blown away' by them are kinda fitting :P. For now, you still need to react to The Mortal (e.g. Pain Drop, Yume, Fantomas live), which is the singer's side project, and Sukekiyo (e.g. Anima, In All Weathers, Elisabeth Addict - Persuasio live version).
react to hide!! He's the guitarist of X-Japan with a successful solo career too! He also did solo stuff with a band name "Zilch" which I totally recommend too!
Yes yes yes! I was waiting for this for so long! But you know what I've been waiting for longer was An Cafe!! They are really amazing and you should react to their song Snow Scene, Escapism, and Smile ichiban li onna !! They are all amazing
I'm absolutely delighted you love Buck-Tick as much as I do! You had me smiling through the whole thing. If you want to learn more about the band, please check out my website, notgreatestsite.net. It contains English translations of all the song lyrics and ten years of concert reports of the band's live activities, among other information. I just wrote a post on the companion blog introducing some of my favorite Buck-Tick songs, in conjunction with the band's 30th anniversary - go give them a listen!
Just like Sascha Konietzko; from KMFDM, Sakurai just doesn't age! KMFDM+Buck-Tick+PIG= Schwein, interesting collaboration. I feel so damn old, I started imported Buck-Tick back in 2001. My top songs has to be Mona Lisa (Overdrive), Baby, I Want You (One Life, One Death), Kagerou, Kuchizuke -Serial Thrill Kisser- (Razzle Dazzle), and MISS-TAKE (Arui wa Anarchy). Other great Japanese acts/songs I would recommend, GALNERYUS ANGEL OF SALVATION, Amano Tsukiko - Sully, Suicide Ali - Ningen No Kaname, An Cafe - Escapism. GALNERYUS IS FUCKING AMAZING, there guitar work is just WOW and does incorporate perfect English! They did the whole soundtrack to RIN: Daughters of Mnemosyne, an amazing Anime!
I begin to watch your channel starting from this video. Thank you very very much for making a reaction video for Buck-Tick! Thank you for letting more people know about this super creative, charming, awesome band! They make great songs and they are even way better in live! They remake some of their songs and these songs have different versions in live, which means you can enjoy the same song in different ways while watching different live versions! I like how they wouldn't stick to the same style and they are always willing to try something new.
Shit you finally did it! I waited so long for this man! A must for a Buck-Tick fan is their kurutta taiyou album and their climax together live in 1992 it's here on RUclips if you loved this just listen/watch those you're gonna love them more!!
The first song that I heard was "Dress" and I was blown away! I even forgot to breathe!! IAnd their songs won't go away that soon. I love them! Thanks for the reaction (reminded mine a lot)
How can I forget Wagakki Band plays rock with wagakki (traditional Japanese musical instruments). Using Japanese Drum sets, American Electric Guitars, Japanese flutes, and classic Japanese Outfits, and the singer, she is just amazing. You can tell she was classically trained, her cadence, and vocals.. The string and flutework is so damn old, these melodies gotta go back to 1600's ;) ruclips.net/video/Q2meWkWqc-I/видео.html ruclips.net/video/K_xTet06SUo/видео.html
I was very nervous based on the thumbnail but.... That was silly of me lol :) You always love all this stuff! SO glad you reviewed "Dress," it's such a classic and probably my favorite song of theirs. I love moody soundscapey stuff like that. That bassline gives me life lol BTW, you're at least right about the band's name being onomatopoeia :) But it's firecrackers (which go "baku-chiku" in Japanese) rather than a gun. :D Obligatory reaction requests: The Oral Cigarettes ("5150," "Kyoran Hey Kids!!," actually to be honest anything by them cuz they're very consistent quality) Gackt ("Mizerable," "Ghost," "Returner"), Luna Sea ("gravity," "Rosier," "Ran"), and Vamps ("I Gotta Kick Start Now," "Devil Side," "Ahead"). Keep the videos coming dude, I LOVE watching these. :)
My favorite part of this Video is 4:42 - 4:47. Watched it over and over again and laughed about your face. :D Awesome Video and a Band which I will check out!
The tatto aint a tatto btw he just paints that on :P and the one with the hair is Toll the oldest one i1.jpopasia.com/assets/1/21669-bucktick-6kgz.jpg First one is Yutaka (Yuta) He plays the bass, Then its Toll the drummer as u know, Atsushi the singer, Imai is Guitarist, Hidehiko is Also a Guitarist :) also Yutaka and toll are Siblings :D
Thanks for the love on the video!! :D
I agree.I love that compilation too. Must be seen.
climax together
MacRyanMac You should try their "darker and edgier" 90s era like Kalavinka :P Better yet, just go through all 20 of their albums and make a video here ;)
MacRyanMac thanks to you for react buck tick
MacRyanMac omg pls react to more songs!! You reacted to just a little tiny bit of what buck tick really is!!!!! Please more!
Atsushi Sakurai probably has the best voice in all of visual kei music, and his presence is amazing. Check out the live cover of Dress by Abingdon Boys School where Sakurai walks out on stage to sing. It wasn't his show, but he MADE IT his show.
Robert D'Amico I dont even listen to ABS but I watch that video seriously at minimum once a week. I love it so much.
Robert D'Amico Nah, Kyo has a far superior voice.
Kyo isn't visual kei.
石川俊哉 This isn't a discussion about their voices. He said Atsushi made the stage his the moment he stepped into it, and that's exactly what happened. And anyway, it was his song to start with. No matter how loudly and powerfully Kyo can sing, that's not the way to capture Dress' subtle emotions. It's a delicate, poignant song.

Although Dress is always my favourite. His Nihonggo is so smooth. There is not a day that I will not replay "Dress" 3 times in a row.
BUCK-TICK is my favorite JRock band of all time! Been into them for over 25 years! So nice to see someone react to them!!!
oh you are so lucky for knowing about them so long. If you have other bands you recommend please let me know because I love this band.
Buck-Tick is one of the best bands in the world. They have this amazing, huge rock sound that I've never heard before. The two guitarists are fantastic, but the bass player is almost a musical genius. And Toll, our beloved Toll is a master of drumming.
Please do hear "Misshitsu"; it's one of their greatest songs.
Thank you soooooooooo much!!!
I love Buck-Tick too especially their song Dress
One of their best.
THE BEST ONE
"Oh no, it's ending... Don't end!"
I can relate. Every time.
Buck-Tick, yes. It's just amazing. Thanks for this react.
SO GOOD!!! and you are welcome!
Desearía que hubiera más gente como este precioso ser humano que aprecie Buck-Tick como se lo merece
I falling in love with your reacts, B-T is one of the bands of my life, they're sounds sooooo unique and special vibes, their style music is always changing and mixing with a lot of kinds of music. Your coment about the name it's true is for the shoot sound and Ani or Toll Yagami (The Drummer) has always had the same mohawk for more than 30 years it's his 80's aesthetic and kind of remember of their started in music industry.

B-T are magical band, their lives are awesome and take you to another world with their music.
I suggest the song "Kagerou" by BUCK-TICK too.
A really good Buck-Tick song is Muma The Nightmare! I have a feeling you would like that song!
You should react to GACKT next!
KaiGuyLove Ohhh that Muma live from 13th Floor With Diana especially!
The only song of them I know is Kuchizuke and not while I watched Shiki... I knowed this song before, but forgot who made it and as I watched Shiki I was like: "I know this song, but can't search it, cause I forgot the name of it and who made it" and after it I remeberd and listened to it like thousand times but than I forgot about this band, because when you know over hundret bands from different countrys and you listen to so many, than you sometimes forget about someone.... lol
One of my favorite songs~. This and also "Kiss me Goodbye".
The song "Dress" is genius! It is not joke! I love it and many other of their songs!
You precious person, you even picked up on Imai's dance moves
the song Dress was used in the anime Trinity Blood.
djanime2005 it was actually an a industrial remix version
BUCK-TICK is the best band ever! You got everything right, the 80's feeling on many songs, the arrangements, Atsushi's amazing voice, the just done right music!

Am glad you like it, Atsushi has one of the best voices in Japan, he is awesome and yes, he is good casting spells in people, he is charming.
I recommend you to listen to Coyote, it's awesome.
By the way if you like Buck tick give a try to "The Mortal" Atsushi's newest side project, my fav song is Cities in dust, a cover of The Banshees.
Zinnia Eridano the mortal is amazing , is the continuous of Ai no wakusei.
I didn't know that Buck Tick did the opening of Trinity Blood
Neither did I :p
They also did the intro to the anime Shiki :D
BUCK-TICK also did the 2nd ending song 'Kagerou' for the anime xxxHolic
And the opening theme for knight walker: midnight detective
@@TheDarkChaosYamamoto yup! Gessekai, Dress trinity blood mix introduced me to them.
Gessekai is so entrancing♡
BUCK-TICK!!!! ♡
:D
Buck Tick is the best ❤ Atsushis voice is pure gold
the drummers name is Yagami toll and the basist is his lil brother Yutaka Higuchi
Oh my god. I actually screamed when I saw this video in my feed. XD I'm so happy you liked them! Buck-Tick is my favorite band, but I don't think they've ever toured outside of Japan though...guess I'll just have to sell my soul for a ticket overseas. :p
BUCK-TICK誉めてくれて、本当にありがとう✨

i totally adore this reaction. 🥰 great songs, love that they’re from like 3 different phases and it just showed how great BT and I love that you appreciate their music. there’s fans ofc, but outside of japan they are vastly underrated.
thanks so much for this
BUCK-TICK YES!!
knew you would like them ;)
and their live concert crowds are in league with X-Japan x)
I need them to tour together!!
that would be so awesome! xD
MacRyanMac sadly buck-tick wont do an out of japan tour cus of imai who cant fly in a plane his fear of flying is to hard..(what i know)
08:49-0:858 is a big mood.
Just FEEL Acchan's voice & the harmony of instruments.
Thank you so much for reacting to Buck-Tick!! ;;w;
They were one of the first bands I ever got into as a child and every single song I listened to just .. made me fall deeper and deeper in love haha ;;//w//;; They have the ability to create a really classic rock sound as well as experimenting with a lot of other musical styles, like cabaret-like numbers, /them latin rhythms hehe ;3c/ punk and synthesised rock.. i’ve always thought that their breadth of skill is amazing. ;u; and I haven’t heard one song from their entire discography that I don’t like .. they honestly put a spell on me too ;w; There's definitely something there, like, the sort of feeling that even though it's the first time you've heard it it's music that you feel like you were meant to hear .. ;vv; and I love Tooru's hair and Imai's little kicks and spins when he dances hehe >w<
They are definitely at their peak during lives, so I agree with everyone recommending to watch concert lives! >u< Imai and Hoshino like to add extra guitar parts during them and Atsushi's pitched falsetto is.. really haunting and I love it so so much ;w;
Atsushi has always been one of the most amazing performers for me… I can't put into words how incredible he is and how effortlessly he performs. I think it's the combination of his and Imai's songwriting skill that have created this sound that began with the kind of punk that was different from other punks at the time by combining it with romanticism and lyricism… they've inspired many bands from then on and I've always thought they were incredibly private and humble musicians ;v; B-T have come a really long way and it's really nice to see someone react to them hehe >/////<

I just wanna say thank you ;u;
I just watched this video and I want to say just one thing... where the hell have you being? 🤣🤣🤣 BT just celebrated their 30th anniversary and they are indeed one of the best Japanese Rock bands of all times and. I am glad you have finally “reacted” to BT... they are awesome. 😍✌️ That’s ok, I discovered them 6 years ago and almost passed out when I watched Acchan with that long hair singing DRESS.
Yes, you really should see them live videos at least. Even better than recorded versions :). Always create magical atmosphere.
Buck-Tick fan for 17 years - they are awesome.
Buck-Tick is my favorite! Miss-Take is one of my favorites live because he acts out the lyrics and it's beautiful. You MUST watch their live videos even if you dont do a react video to them. They are just as good love as recorded. Unfortunately they don't tour outside Japan so I have never seen them in person.
Imai (guitarist) does not have B-T tattooed on his face HOWEVER he recently got some dental work done and now has a gold tooth with B-T carved into it. He posted it on his blog like last year? Or something?
So glad you loved them. Now go enjoy the 200ish other songs by them!
Ps. Anyone else find it amusing that he's wearing a cat shirt during this video? Haha!
Thanks for reacting to BUCK-TICK's music. This band is a legend. I love them so much! 😁
this band is simply wonderful. they explored so many music styles during their long long career but they also did so many experiments in the 90s that many fans couldn't handle....they started using "pure" rock band sound in the 00s but now went back to their well-known use of techno and noise...AND their works are often art inspired...AND it takes the drummer about an hour to put his hair up. (personally I don't link them to the visual keis since their music style is more like the British in the 80s) ;-)
Buck tick has so many wonderful songs/albums and they changed their sound every time... they truly deserve a second reaction to more songs , please!
I always thought nobody thinks about Buck Tick but now i'm so happy that you reacted to them!!! Thank you so much and you should listen the old songs like Sexual XXX, Moonlight, Misty blue, Misty zone, Jupiter, Sakura and Victims of love, you won't regret it!
Atsushi Sakurai es uno de los músicos más respetados en Japón.
BUCK－TICK！！*ଘ(੭*ˊᵕˋ)੭* ੈ✩‧₊˚
BUCK－TICKは日本の誇り！
Another nice reaction video. Other BUCK-TICK songs you may like are: Plastic Syndrome Type II, Fly High, Moonlight, For Dangerous Kids, Stay Gold, Romanesque, ...In Heaven... , Aku no Hana, Ash-ra, Kagerou, and Kuchizuke.
OMG, yeeeeeess! Buck-Tick is awesome and we like the same part of Romance, that sound is very catchy.
Welcome to the rabbit hole. Damn right he's got you under a spell. You will never be the same. Enjoy! And do try to see them live bc you nailed it as far as the freak out when they play. Buck Tick are just like that shotgun you envisioned. BAM!!

I also agree with the rest of the comments :D You should react to Gackt! He was the vocalist of Malice Mizer for a while, but then went independent. Songs like Mizerable, Vanilla, Redemption, Love Letter, Setsugekka, Returner are just amazing! There are so many songs I could recommend from him (I loved him for the longest time, since I discovered his music in 2003 :D )
PS: I really enjoy watching your videos! A lot of other people end up making fun of these bands and it kind of pisses me off. I've been listening to vkei for close to 15 years now and the music is addicting and just.... great! It's different than Western metal and that makes me happy :D because anything goes and it always ends up being great!
Thank you for reacting to BUCK-TICK! It's great seeing people discovering them. (I've been a fan for about 14 years.) I hope you keep listening to them outside of this reaction video. Their discography is huge, so there's a lot to dig through!
Yeees, i can't believe you reacted to Buck-Tick !! I'm so glad more people are finding out about this amazing band and becoming a fan
Buck tick its just more than amazing. 30 years of career, amazing visuals, amazing music, just beautiful lyrics and a handsome vocalist. It's a shame they don't want to do concerts in other countries.
Yay! You did the Buck-Tick reaction video! Buck-Tick sounds even better live! Also you wear the perfect cat shirt to listin to Buck-Tick
The guy wit the really tall hair is Toll Yagami, the drummer. Also, his brother Yutaka is the bassist.
Thank you! I've been waiting for this for a long time now xD I'm glad you liked them c:
React to hide, Luna Sea, Sex Machineguns, Seikima II, Kuroyume!
i support seikima II reaction!! *- *
This makes me happy :D
I've been a big fan of BT for ...15 years? I had the chance to see them live twice and it was so powerful. I was very close to the stage the second time and nearly fainted!
OMG Thank you for reacting to B-T
"Dress" is eargasm :3
You should watch the live version of Dress, including a cover version with Abingdon Boys School.
BTW if you want to be in a BUCK-TICK concert you have to travel to Japan :'D it would be a miracle if they leave Japan for a World Tour
Never clicked so fast for a video, never been so hyped to watch a video.
So glad you reacted to them, they are like my favourite Visual Kei Band.
Finally! Thank you! Next GACKT please!
Song suggestion: Mizerable, Vanilla, Redemption.
buck tick is amazing, they are the best
So good!
Buck-Tick!! Thats wonderful now you should react to GACKT!!
As far as I know these guys inspired Kyo from Dir en Grey to make music(along with X Japan)
That's amazing!! :D
FUCK, YEAH I GOT A REPLY, YOU RULE MAN, MUCH LOVE FROM IRELAND :D
Kyo's biggest influence might be Kuroyume though. I mean in the early dir en grey phase Kyo was basically cosplaying Kiyoharu :D
Ohh yeah, how the hell did I forget about that
:D didnt know that, thats awesome
Finally!! I'm so happy you finally reacted to them. Next time maybe you could do a live reaction? I would recommend Snow White, Coyote and Kiss me Goodbye. They are amazing live
So. This is the first video of yours I've ever seen. And only watched it because BUCK-TICK is my favorite band. For what it's worth, KUCHIZUKE is actually the song that got me into the band. It was used as the opening for the anime SHIKI, and it got me to watch the entire first season, despite not being into horror at all.
On a side note, the name BUCK TICK is a reference to the Japanese word for firecracker, bakuchiku.
I was an anime fan and then I discovered opening and closing songs were quite often done by current artists in Japanese. First Japanese anime: Midnight Detective so the 1st and 2nd Jrock songs were Gessekai by BuckTick and Mirai Kouro by La'Cryma Christi. I was floored. So started my trek into Japanese music and I've actually learned a bit of Japanese language. I've seen Miyavi twice, the Vamps once, and Le~Arc~En~Ciel 2012 at Madison Square Garden. Glad I found them. Flower by Le~Arc is my fav. Buck Tick means firecracker.
Yassss the magic of Atsushi Sakurai ✨✨
the drummer with the high mohawk is Yagami Toll (not his real name)
Imai's face tattoo isn't real (sorry)
(fun fact) When Atsushi had those nails, he had trouble picking up chopsticks because he wasn't used to wearing fake nails.
Romance was bucktick's most viewed video on RUclips over 1 million views (but the video was deleted)
THIS IS MY FAVORITE BAND WORLD WIDE!!!
you should check out Femme Fatale! "Salome" "Freya" "voyage"
Mei Rin omg yes pls do it
The drummer ( with awesome hair ) is called Toll Yagami!
I love this band, you gained a new subscriber. ;)
Big fan of them for 14 years (found them back in high school)!
And they've still been making music since then!!
They're great. Also, "a simple, raw band sound" is what they aim for. I think they've done such neat stuff with their ever-evolving style, but keeping that a little bit of that band 80's sound consistent.
If you're curious, "Buck-Tick" (bakku-chiku) is a sort of play on words. It means "firecracker" in Japanese. But certainly it brings up a whole lot of weird imagery in English, right?
"Bakku" in Japanese is also onomatopoeia the sound of... like an explosion or exclamation, while "chiku" means like "tic"--like the tic of a drum or clock.
Thanks for doing this!!
Never clicked faster.
:D
SAME.
Do miyavi reaction for friday video Ryan, he's come to canada next week in 26 April! :D
YEAA
@MacRyanMac "He's putting me under some spell" HAHAHAHAHAHA yes he's making you his little BiTch, like the rest of us XD
PLEASE DO THE GALLO ;A; Yamiuta ideally, or Belphegor!!!
Also yessss B-T =w=
I did a panel about them at a con just this weekend, haha~
I wouldn't say react to it, but listen to the Abingdon Boys School cover of this song that is live and has Atsushi as a guest. Let me know what you think.
yaaay I LOVE YOOOUU!!
and yes.. buck tick have that effect.. you heard and is like...there is something I like but i don't know what! buck tick just catch you *- * how happy i feel you like and finally react
Oh yes, you finally did it! Thank you very much! :D
I did not expect to see my comment right in the middle. Guess I bugged you way too often, haha.
Also, their name is an anglicized form of bakuchiku which means firecrackers in Japanese, so the pistol shot and being 'blown away' by them are kinda fitting :P.
For now, you still need to react to The Mortal (e.g. Pain Drop, Yume, Fantomas live), which is the singer's side project, and
Sukekiyo (e.g. Anima, In All Weathers, Elisabeth Addict - Persuasio live version).
OMGGGG YESSSS!!!! OHHH I'M GLAD THAT YOU LIKED THEM! Now please react yo Gackt, Miyavi or Luna Sea!!!♡♡
react to hide!! He's the guitarist of X-Japan with a successful solo career too! He also did solo stuff with a band name "Zilch" which I totally recommend too!
Gessekai was my first song of there's. And I still freak out over them.
Can I just say, THAT T-SHIRT IS EVERYTHING
:D
Yes yes yes! I was waiting for this for so long! But you know what I've been waiting for longer was An Cafe!! They are really amazing and you should react to their song Snow Scene, Escapism, and Smile ichiban li onna !! They are all amazing
I'm absolutely delighted you love Buck-Tick as much as I do! You had me smiling through the whole thing. If you want to learn more about the band, please check out my website, notgreatestsite.net. It contains English translations of all the song lyrics and ten years of concert reports of the band's live activities, among other information. I just wrote a post on the companion blog introducing some of my favorite Buck-Tick songs, in conjunction with the band's 30th anniversary - go give them a listen!
Just like Sascha Konietzko; from KMFDM, Sakurai just doesn't age! KMFDM+Buck-Tick+PIG= Schwein, interesting collaboration. I feel so damn old, I started imported Buck-Tick back in 2001. My top songs has to be Mona Lisa (Overdrive), Baby, I Want You (One Life, One Death), Kagerou, Kuchizuke -Serial Thrill Kisser- (Razzle Dazzle), and MISS-TAKE (Arui wa Anarchy). Other great Japanese acts/songs I would recommend, GALNERYUS ANGEL OF SALVATION, Amano Tsukiko - Sully, Suicide Ali - Ningen No Kaname, An Cafe - Escapism. GALNERYUS IS FUCKING AMAZING, there guitar work is just WOW and does incorporate perfect English! They did the whole soundtrack to RIN: Daughters of Mnemosyne, an amazing Anime!
React to GACKT next. He was 1 of the singers of MALICE MIZER.
he was second
Next reaction, golden bomber... Please :D
Lycara Yuu seconded so hard
They have a new song coming out called rondo
I begin to watch your channel starting from this video.
Thank you very very much for making a reaction video for Buck-Tick! Thank you for letting more people know about this super creative, charming, awesome band!
They make great songs and they are even way better in live! They remake some of their songs and these songs have different versions in live, which means you can enjoy the same song in different ways while watching different live versions!
I like how they wouldn't stick to the same style and they are always willing to try something new.
Your shirt distract me lol
Thank you for listening to this great band! Next Golden Bomber maybe 😁
i like when you said YES!!!!
Buck tick is one of my favourite bands
Shit you finally did it! I waited so long for this man!
A must for a Buck-Tick fan is their kurutta taiyou album and their climax together live in 1992 it's here on RUclips if you loved this just listen/watch those you're gonna love them more!!
Would have loved to watch you reacting to Buck-Tick's Keijijou no Ryuusei, Gessekai, Kagerou and Kuchizuke.
The first song that I heard was "Dress" and I was blown away! I even forgot to breathe!! IAnd their songs won't go away that soon. I love them! Thanks for the reaction (reminded mine a lot)
How can I forget Wagakki Band plays rock with wagakki (traditional Japanese musical instruments). Using Japanese Drum sets, American Electric Guitars, Japanese flutes, and classic Japanese Outfits, and the singer, she is just amazing. You can tell she was classically trained, her cadence, and vocals.. The string and flutework is so damn old, these melodies gotta go back to 1600's ;) ruclips.net/video/Q2meWkWqc-I/видео.html ruclips.net/video/K_xTet06SUo/видео.html
I love buck-tick , Im from Argentina 😊
I was very nervous based on the thumbnail but.... That was silly of me lol :) You always love all this stuff!
SO glad you reviewed "Dress," it's such a classic and probably my favorite song of theirs. I love moody soundscapey stuff like that. That bassline gives me life lol
BTW, you're at least right about the band's name being onomatopoeia :) But it's firecrackers (which go "baku-chiku" in Japanese) rather than a gun. :D
Obligatory reaction requests: The Oral Cigarettes ("5150," "Kyoran Hey Kids!!," actually to be honest anything by them cuz they're very consistent quality) Gackt ("Mizerable," "Ghost," "Returner"), Luna Sea ("gravity," "Rosier," "Ran"), and Vamps ("I Gotta Kick Start Now," "Devil Side," "Ahead").
Keep the videos coming dude, I LOVE watching these. :)
Yep! Buck-Tick is amazing band. Thank you for this vidio
My favorite part of this Video is 4:42 - 4:47. Watched it over and over again and
laughed about your face. :D
Awesome Video and a Band which I will check out!
"Dress" is such a beautiful song and it's also the opening of Trinity Blood wich is one of my favourite anime !
I'm a little late [lol] but yes!!! I mean, Sakurai Atsushi's voice is sooooo good!!! And all the lyrics are like poems, for sure
The tatto aint a tatto btw he just paints that on :P
and
the one with the hair is Toll the oldest one
i1.jpopasia.com/assets/1/21669-bucktick-6kgz.jpg
First one is Yutaka (Yuta) He plays the bass, Then its Toll the drummer as u know, Atsushi the singer, Imai is Guitarist, Hidehiko is Also a Guitarist :)
also Yutaka and toll are Siblings :D
You will be glad to know that they finally set up a RUclips and uploaded some of their music videos including a clear version of Dress
Since you like 80 likes Music there's a song by buck tick called 'In haven' Or something,and it really has the 80 vibes.
No one can resist Atsushi's spell
you should listen to their other song called alice in wonder underground
