Hinan Go-Go

All BiTches know that Buck-Tick had their start as a band as Hinan Go-Go. Sakurai-san haven't decided to become the vocalist yet and Toll Anii still drumming with his own band. So this morning, Youtube decides it's my lucky day by recommending Hinan Go-Go performance video. Woo hoo!

Watching the video, I can see Araki is not really that charismatic on stage, he didn't have that X-factor. U-ta was quite fierce with that bass and Imai raw talent is really showing. You can see Imai quirky taste starts early. To read more about Hinan Go-Go and the beginning of Buck-Tick, read this awesome article by Kalavinka here. To read the more touchy feely version of early Buck-Tick history, read their novel, Love Me, translation at NGS by Cayce. I cried a little reading the novel. Poor Acchan.

So BiTches and non-BiTch, enjoy the beginning of a great band.

Part 1
- Something worth noting in the comment section
"-The first song is "NO NO BOY" and the scond one sounds like an early version of "VACUUM DREAM".
Both songs are not on the remastered editions of HURRY UP MODE but on the LP version and also on the CD version from 1987." - symphony137 -

P.S: Just in case, fan of Buck-Tick sometimes call themselves BiTch. Where BiTches learn to do that? From our dear Imai. Part of his stage persona comes with drawing the letter B-T on his cheek, at one point, he actually draw  BiTch.
