Let us see. Anyone who has talked to Ashley for more than five seconds knows she loves Buck-Tick. (Actually, that's an exaggeration. There are hordes of people at church who have no clue.) So, I was thinking back to the songs I listened to over and over when at first I fell in love.
-Dress
It was all because of that animu show, Trinity Blood. It is my favorite, after all. When I watched the show on Adult Swim, I always turned up the TV and rocked out to the opening. It's such a beautiful song. Eventually, when I was near the internet, I decided to look up this Buck-Tick on YouTube and see if I liked their stuff. Which leads me to...
-Romance
Ahh, the song that reeled me in. The video was gorgeous--in that lovely, goth-y way. The music--especially the vocal line--was exquisite. And that voice...Sakurai Atsushi is one of my favorite vocalists. And all that gothic romance was like the gateway drug.
-Glamorous
This one always makes me feel just the tiniest bit hopeful when I listen to it. Not really sure why. I think it feels as though, during the verses, Sakurai's voice is almost like a prayer--begging, unsure, but hopeful. Then, at the chorus, the vocal line soars, making one feel as though she could fly. Grand, isn't it?
-Heroin
That slightly electronica rock song...it still makes me want to dance.
-Alice in Wonder Underground
Alice in Wonderland seems to be a gothic staple. It's twisted, kind of dark, and quirky. Buck-Tick's Wonder Underground has the same sort of feel, just with more timpani. Also, the song features a countertenor. That's just hot.
-Limbo
What do you mean, Buck-Tick has sexual songs?! This was my first taste of that. I honestly didn't know. But man, I loved that song. It was dirty. I felt dirty listening to it, only knowing what the English lyrics were saying ("SEX FOR YOU!"). It has a strong, driving dance beat, like it threatens to pull you out of your seat and send you spinning. Love it!
I might think of some more later and add to this list. Also, I just might post a list of favorite songs.
