And those kids could not stop singing it once they got started. To this day if you start up with a 'nee nee kimi tte' you will always, always get a reply. I'm 23 now and though it was a slow start, Buck-Tick has officially become my favorite band.<br /><br />2. While I do love Atsushi, all the members have special places in my heart, all in completely different ways! Though, you may have got me, I suppose if I had to choose, he'd be my favorite [hard choice though, man].<br /><br />Ps. I cannot tell you how thrilled I was the first day I found this site and clicked on the 'gothic belly dancing OMG' link... because that's... my friend Sashi. On a site for Buck-Tick. Completely made my day, week, month, forever. I might've squealed. <br /><br />Oh, and yes.. That time you mentioned that Cream Soda had a giant spur in lyric hits? That was probably greatly due to my aforementioned friends... teaching people what in the world they were singing.Lefihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12212464078317809729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994365939017837190.post-3941881110250759662013-03-06T19:04:07.447+09:002013-03-06T19:04:07.447+09:001.

I'd like to say it was Mienai Mono because I love that song to bits, but then I'd be pretending I have a better memory than I do. I guess that was in the late '90s. Later, when the Internet had evolved and so had my Internet connection, I used to poke around YouTube and the Net in general for new music. So I ended up finding some of their stuff and joining the dots. And they just grew on me from there. So let's say I was in my mid-thirties when I knowingly found them and am in my mid-forties now. I honestly can't name a particular song that was a hook, but that's not unusual for me.<br />2) Really, I kind of like them all, but if I had to pick a favourite it would be Mr Imai, because I always have a soft spot for the oddballs, and I want him for his record collection.Mawbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12688827578326331314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994365939017837190.post-14081433941941661042013-02-28T04:49:25.385+09:002013-02-28T04:49:25.385+09:00I listened to Angelfish when someone posted it in ...I listened to Angelfish when someone posted it in a forum and fell in love.
