[The roses' raw fragrance. Frozen illussions. The night. The moon. A sudden midnight visit. Spirits. Black. Deep mist. Dead ends. Ephemeral life. Stepping stones. Black River. A sudden change of heart. Lace. Elegance. Medieval castles. Deep forest. A clear in between the woods. Cloaks. Rough walls. Life in a dream. Exhaling warm breath. Inhaling cold air. Paleness. Prohibition. Passion. A moment. Romance]

He's what I call the real vampire. His eyes, his aura, his mood, his beautiful voice. He's the man that catches everyone's eyes, girls or boys, because he's the true beauty. 

BUCK-TICK is something thrilling too. They're about to hit their 3 decades of playing and composing. Romance was the first PV I saw of them (2008) and I went blank after being glared with those eyes of Sakurai Atsushi. Their mood, their lyrics, everything gets straight deep inside you. 

It's also fantastic to say they don't stick to one kind of genre but they vary between alternative, gothic, industrial, electronic, dark wave, power pop, punk rock mixed in between with their visuals creating their own esence. It's almost impossible to hear a BUCK-TICK's song and not knowing it's them. 




He's also what I call the real dandy on stage. His style, his calmness yet his passion, his accents on certain words. It's something like an extasis. 

Watch him here with Abingdon Boys School's rendition of BUCK-TICK's hit song "Dress" (1993). Takanori Nishikawa looks like he's on paradise. 



"The angels are watching, so put out the moon 
Dress the room in flowers, beautiful flowers"

- Romance

Why am I not like the wind, like the mist; why are there no feathers that float up to the sky?
Why am I not like the stars, like the moon, enveloped by everything; 
why are there no feathers that sink down into the night?
