BUCK-TICK 「MISS TAKE～僕はミス・テイク～」 PV

Finally, Tokuma released the PV in Youtube! Been waiting for this one for some time. Ureshi~

I think...

I fell in love Tsuchiya Masami-san music. First heard of him from BT Parade tour video and album. Since then, slowly but surely, I started discovering more and more of Tsuchiya-san wonderful work of art. At this moment, I have Tokyo Ballet of Ippu-Do era played multiple times everyday. The melody is in danger of becoming ear-worm.


P/S: I do find his look during the PARADE tour year was very vampire-ish. Not Twilight faeries, you silly! Rice's vampire!

Mana aggressive streak.

I know this video is pointless, but I know many people love it. It's kinda interesting the doll-like Mana showing his aggressive streak by kicking Kozi.



If that is not enough, here is a video Mana punching Yu~ki

Serenade PV - could it be homage to Malice Mizer?

Well, I haven't heard much of Versailles and the only Malice Mizer album ever heard is Merveilles. However, watching the Versailles PV for Serenade, I couldn't help thinking that it could be a homage to Malice Mizer, especially MM during Gackt era. It also happened that I just watched an interview between Gackt (MM) and Kamijo (V), and I learn that Kamijo was MM roadie and once Kozi, Kami and Yu~ki stripped Kamijo off his clothing because he lost playing UNO. I think you could figure out what the bet was with the outcome of the game. Wondering what was Gackt and Mana doing on that ship while the others were playing UNO.

Live Town 1988

It was 1988, they were rising to stardom, all the members hair still up, U-ta still the most sullen on stage and Acchan voice still in its pop sound and eventually transform into one of the most powerful vocal in Japan rock scene. They perform Empty Girl and Future for Future. Watching the band style in this video, I'm so glad they went to London for recording. It definitely influenced their music and fashion. It also help when they stand their ground, doing whatever they want and waving middle finger to anyone trying to force things with the band.

There's a short talk before the performance and I think he was talking about release of their mini album, Romanesque, and their collection of music video, More Sexual. Acchan also talking about their upcoming tour, mentioning several venues. The song playing during the talk, prior to the performance is B-T theme, their very own opening song. I think all this Buck-Tick obsession helps improving my negligible understanding of Japanese language.



There's another video of the same performance, however this one also include performance by Ziggy and some adverts. No no, not Ziggy Stardust, Ziggy the Japanese rock band.
