Buck-Tick
Breaking news. After feeling unwell at the October 19 show at Zepp Yokohama, the performance was halted after the third song and vocalist Atsushi was taken to the hospital. He died later that night due to a brain stem hemorrhage. All concerts are cancelled and the band would like to have an event for fans in memory of Atsushi. The funeral with family was already held. The band asks that you respect their privacy at this time and do not send anything for Atsushi's family. This news was announced on October 24 Japan time.
Buck-Tick have decided to hold a Buck-Tick Genshou concert on December 29 at the Budokan. No one knows what this will be like but naturally there is much speculation. Will the guitarists sing the songs? Will there be guest singers? Will there be video projections? Will this be the final performance of the band? What will happen to Buck-Tick now that Atsushi is dead? Surely this is an event not to be missed.

Spreadsheets updated for data nerds! All B-T concerts, songs with writing credits and performance year, and costs every year to buy the cheapest version of new releases.
History 2014-2021 now published. I've got some drafts started of other updates. I still need to scan all the releases not yet on the site so I can update the discography. I really want to finish that next.
There are things that I'm missing or that got damaged and I have those listed throughout the site to ask for your help. The most important to me is one of the interviews Buck-Tick did in Korea on the show "Let's Cast" in 2000. My video file is corrupt (about 8min long) and I would really appreciate it if anyone has a copy to share.
