The Big One

This is it...the one you've all been waiting for!

Buck-Tick's new label management aren't complete idiots in the realm of PR after all, because they have announced that, instead of just taking the DIQ 2011 videos off YouTube to be annoying, they did it because they'll be releasing a live DVD Day in Question 2011. You can all throw your hats in the air and jump for joy.

The new DVD will be released on May 23rd. The special edition will cost 9975 yen and contain two DVDs, one with all 18 songs from the main set, plus six encore songs, and another with special bonus footage. The package will also contain two CDs with live tracks, as well as the requisite special box and 64 page photobook containing photos of Toll looking awesome and Sakurai looking like the totally un-photogenic unfortunate he is. The regular edition DVD will cost 5250 yen and contain only one DVD disc with the 18 songs from the main set plus the 8 encore songs. There will also be a Blu-Ray release of the regular edition, available for 6825 yen. These will be Buck-Tick's first live video releases from Lingua Sounda.

The set list is as follows:

01. HURRY UP MODE

02. SEXUAL×××××！

03. PHYSICAL NEUROSE

04. ANGELIC CONVERSATION

05. 悪の華

06. さくら

07. JUPITER

08. die

09. love letter

10. idol

11. MY FUCKIN’ VALENTINE

12. Baby, I want you.

13. 極東より愛を込めて

14. GIRL

15. ROMANCE

16. Alice in Wonder Underground

17. Memento mori

18. 独壇場Beauty -R.I.P.-

19. ･･･IN HEAVEN･･･

20. MOON LIGHT

21. 夢魔-The Nightmare

22. DIABOLO

23. JUST ONE MORE KISS

24. COSMOS

But wait, there's more!

On May 23rd, through Lingua Sounda, Buck-Tick will also release a new single entitled "Eriize no Tame ni" ("For Elise"). Because those m-f's are tricky bastards, the new single will also be available in a first press and regular edition. The first press edition will cost 2500 yen and contain two CDs, one with the single and b-side tracks, and one with live tracks from the Day in Question 2011 concert held at Zepp Sendai. The DVD will contain the PV for "Eriize no Tame ni." The regular edition of the single will cost 1260 yen and will contain only one CD with the single and the two b-sides.

The track list for the single is as follows:

1. Eriize no Tame ni

2. Yumemiru Uchuu

3. SANE -type II-

And I would be willing to bet a decent number of beans that the title track of that single was written single-handedly by Imai and the second track is the work of Sakurai and Hoshino. Just smells that way to me. But I could be wrong.

Anyhoo, save your pennies.
