Yumemiru Uchuu lyrics

Translations of all the lyrics for the songs on Yumemiru Uchuu are now up on Not Greatest Site, so hasten over to inspect them!

Feel free to comment here on which ones are your favorites.  As always, please keep your comments constructive and concise.  I reserve the absolute right not to publish essays or haterade.  Or anything about your personal dislike of your precious sad Byronic hero Acchan's use of the word "Baby."  Because, if he called you "Baby" to your face, I daresay you'd enjoy it.

However, I will publish all comments that include scatting.  Shoobie doobie doobie do DAH.

Parade Day 2

.

.

.




Mobile phone cameras take terrible photos in the rain, in the dark.

Yes, Buck-Tick played a different set list than last night, and yes there were fireworks.

Yes, unfortunately Mr. Imai joined Pay Money to My Pain to play some sort of attempt at a cover of "love letter."

No, Mr. Sakurai did not participate in any guest sessions.

Yes, N'Shukugawa Boys were surprisingly fresh and funny.

Yes, Dir en grey's Die was a special guest guitarist of D'erlanger, and there was a makeout scene.

No, the makeout scene did not involve Sakurai.

Yes, we got to see Messrs. Imai and Higuchi cosplay members of the Polysics.

No, I have not written a live report yet, but I will as soon as I can, so wait patiently.

Buck-Tick Movie

It has been announced that in honor of Buck-Tick's 25th anniversary, a (feature?) film about the band's history will be released in 2013 and screened in (selected?) theaters.  

Right now that's just about all the information they're giving us.

Oh yeah, and the movie will be starring Johnny Depp.  With a soundtrack by Radiohead and Justin Bieber.

NicoNico Buck-Tick Cafe, Part 2

.
.
.

Thusly did Blog-Tick and friends brave the NicoNico Buck-Tick Cafe.


There were many creepy BuckNicos to be found.


The black mannequins somehow did not look quite as saxxy as the band members themselves did.


Detail of Yutaka's bass-inspired lapel.


Detail of the hot glue stains on Imai's amazing gold pants.



Django the Dazzler, in the flesh.


Acchan 4 U.


Hide's jacket.


A table at which one could theoretically sit and eat that horrific-looking curry.  No one was eating it while we were there.


The Buck-Tick fan Wall of Love!  Anyone could draw or leave messages on the wall.


This drawing of Mr. Sakurai strangely resembles the vocalist of now-defunct Buck-Tick copyband B-T-K.


But this one of Yutaka is darling.


Buck-Tick cats are much better than NicoTubby Bucks.


And look!  A raptor on a velociraptor!  Someone must be thinking along the same lines we do!  I should buy them a beer!  For those of you who can't read Japanese, the caption says something like "Give me more Inter Raptor!!"


Buck-Tick purikura, where you could take a picture next to your favorite band member (virtually.)


The third-floor shop was sadly devoid of most of the colors of the Parade t-shirt, but full of NicoBucks.  No one was buying the t-shirts but they were sold out of the towel.  Full marks to the purikura, though.  It isn't often you can take purikura with a virtual Toll.
