Yumemiru Uchuu Live DVD

Displays for the release of the Yumemiru Uchuu live DVD in Tower Records Shibuya.

"Fly Highfall," or, "My Tick Will Go On"

Stepping into the realm of famous movie theme-song hits, BUCK-TICK: THE MOVIE, which has actually turned out to be BUCK-TICK: THE TWO MOVIES, will have a commercially released theme song.  Oh wait, make that two commercially released theme songs!  The details of the songs are as follows:

BUCK-TICK: THE MOVIE

Theme song "Love Parade"

Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi

Music: Hoshino Hidehiko

Recording by Adele at Climax Studios, London.

BUCK-TICK 2: CAN'T STOP THE PHENOMENON

Theme song "Steppers -Parade-"

Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi & Imai Hisashi

Music: Imai Hisashi

Recording by Nicki Minaj feat. Tilda Swinton on spoken word chorus at Jupiter Studios, Berlin, and Just One More Studio, New York.

Considering the time frame, I have a strong suspicion that these two songs are not the songs Imai has recently mentioned recording on his blog.  But, if they are...congrats on the procrastination  guys.  Recording the theme song for your movie two weeks before the movie's release is like turning in your term paper at midnight on the day it's due.

寿記 23.04.2013 "People Who Don't Like Their Egg Rice Well Beaten"

Cayce's note: "egg rice," (tamago-kake gohan), is rice with a raw egg cracked over top, mixed in with a dash of soy sauce and some shaved green onions.

.

I don't like to mix my egg rice too much, but when I was a kid, I didn't think about it at all...

I just mixed it together, well and thoroughly, no thought or consideration

I didn't think it tasted that good, but I ate it like it was my job.

How mindless of me.

This is a thought I had.

.

.

.

I wrote a new song.

Look forward to it.

IMAI 19:34

BUCK-TICK: THE MOVIE

Buck-Tick have posted a new trailer for their movie, including some of the first-ever public shots of Tilda Swinton as Imai (at 0:47)!  Viewable here.

The captions for the trailer read:

"A rock band who just keep going deeper"

"BUCK-TICK"

Sakurai: "Thank you so much, for creating this wonderful stage for our 25th anniversary."

"The essence of the magnetic attraction of these five men"

"Has finally been captured on film"

"Since the release of Buck-Tick At The Live Inn on September 21st, 1987"

"The band members have stayed the same"

"Now they celebrate the 25th anniversary of their debut"

"This documentary speaks from the hearts of the band members"

"With a secret look inside this one memorable year"

"More than 1500 hours of shooting"

"Here, we see their private faces, which they usually keep hidden"

Sakurai: "Ghaaaagh!  Whooo HOOOoooo!"

(shot of Peter Dinklage as Higuchi Yutaka)

Sakurai: "WAAAuuhhh whooohoooo!"

.

.

And yes, Cayce will be attending the film and reviewing it.  So stay tuned.

Pescatarian Micro-Raptor

And now for something completely different.

Courtesy of Wired magazine, an article on a feathered, flying dinosaur with four whole wings (that's four more wings than Imai has when he okays himself to the fly high.) 

It ate fish.

And its name is called: Micro-Raptor.

This is definitely the coolest thing I read all day.

Get a Kick

"So I said to Imai, I get such a kick out of being onstage..."

.

.

.

.

"...that I thought I'd go into standup comedy."

"And he said...whatever you say, Acchan-chan."

Inter Raptor the First

The first ever publicly available video of Buck-Tick performing "Inter Raptor" live is up on YouTube!  Surely not for much longer, but I invite you all to watch it now, while you can.  This was filmed at Dedicate to Gang 451 at Zepp Namba in Osaka on February 11th.  Enjoy.
