Doing gods work and adding to the J-rock fanlore page, and being the only person to talk about fan activities on the page for Dramatical Murder 💪💪💪

Buck-Tick has now been a band for 35 years. 15 years longer than I've been alive, and I'm so happy that they have been. Such a long time yet such a short time. They've basically been making music the moment they got out of highschool, the majority of their lives at this point, and yet it's so little, and I'm so, so grateful that they've been able to.

I think about fate and the chances that this group of kids that all went to the same highschool would work together to create something so amazing. I'm so thankful for everything before that led to this happening. I can't imagine anyone else, anywhere else making exactly what they have.

The world is so fragile in what will create what outcomes. I'm so grateful that fact that we got them, and the fact that I'm alive at a time when they are still active. I'm even more grateful to be alive in a time when people simply still remember and care for them because most art goes to the wayside eventually. This is wonderful.

I'm so, so grateful that fate allowed me to be alive when I am to see them, and I feel so sad for the people unable to. A time where people don't know Buck-Ticks name, a world where they don't know their musics and style is hell. The fact that nothing lasts forever is hell. So I'm grateful to have found J-rock when I did so accidentally and make friends through it as well. I'm so lucky for the fate of life to allow this.

I cry thinking about the luck that brought them here, and I cry thinking about how one day they will have to leave us. But I'm alive now, I have them now, I have their music, and they are still kicking!!!! Now is not the time for tears even thought I'm crying as I write this, it's the time to have fun a listen to Buck-Tick!!! THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME, BAND IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!

I'm so glad to have drawn this on time. Here is to my love to Buck-Tick, all that they've done and all that they will continue to do. Music I never get bored of, unique sound, unique lyrics and sensibilities, unique relationships, and personalities. Thank you to the work of fellow artists and costume designers all here at the same time to elevate them to god tier status. I love you all so much and all that you make.



BUCK-TICK forever.

That comment just really flipped something off in my head I'll tell you. I feel like I just got thrown back to the 2020 grind set but with actual fuel to make it happen.

I need a trans Buck-Tick fanfic STAT, I thinks I will have to do it myself, rip.

Getting on T to be a skinny legend? I know fat men exist but I'm not fat and I can work out more and get and epic low fat to muscle ratio? I think so.

An album whose title translates to "Sky Swing", which I love <3. So nostalgic feeling. The yellow costume on a green field, I feel something from when I was younger, like playing outside my grandma's house or with my mom during spring.

I've seen photos of Moon Kana posted before but her music really is wonderful (at least what I've heard so far). The 1st and 3rd songs are my favorites. It reminds me a lot of the type of vkei I would listen to more a year or two ago. I needed to crack open my window to listen to this, it is not compatible with climate control, it sounds better with the slight humidity and breeze from outside.

In a recent interview with Gloomth & The Cult of Melancholy, she says

"I make music and clothes out of the small remaining light within the darkness."

and I think that does come across in her lyrics (some of which I had to read machine translated). Even in the same translator you get different results if it's the whole text or a single line, it's interesting to see the different results.

"今と呼べなくても　今を諦めずに　ありつづけていたいよ。

羽ばたいて　羽ばたいて　どこに行くの？？
飛びたって　飛びつづけて　どこに居ればイイの？？？"

The instrumentals and singing of the third song, "Tsuki No Tsubasa" sounds like a person holding out and saying what's in their heart as they be dragged away in the night under the moon after losing a battle. I know that's a lot but that's what appears in my head when I listen.

The whole album works well together so I suggest listening to all of it and it's pretty short anyways.


Here is the site where I got the Japanese lyrics and which host good HQ scans of the booklets that came with the CD's.

This part sounds like a ringtone to me.

So warp came out about 20 years ago. It came out my birth year which feels amazing to me. It's always going to feel extra crazy to me because of that.

I watched it during the Buck-Tick Saturday live streams. I had never seen it before and I didn't get to watch the whole thing. I can't wait to rewatch the whole thing. It had such a fun and enjoyable set list. It definitely has a summer feel.

Behold! Malice Mizer PARAPARA:

I absolutely love Buck-Tick as a fandom. Their music is both thoughtful and fun lending itself to thoughtful discussion if you please. It also has fun(some what publicly open) members and multiple of them so it lends itself well to fun fic and ship nonsense as well. They've also, and very importantly, from the beginning, encouraged fans fantasies.

There are groups that I love and fit into the first category but not so well the second one (you could but for me personally I just don't find it in me), and definitely not the third. I still love them it jut makes it hard if I'm not always looking up translations or if I'm just not as deep into them to have something to say as often, and thus they just don't have as much for me to give attention to.

Having all of these things is what makes Buck-Tick so strong and compelling as a group. This is why I think they're so popular and have so much fan activity.
