Releases

Below is a brief outline of Buck-Tick's discography; click on an item for in-depth details. Main releases and solo/side projects are listed directly below. Guest appearances and compilation albums are listed on the right. Song composition credits on singles and albums are (lyrics/music). Chart and sales data are from Oricon charts and official books. Sales data is more of a reflection of the year of release, rather than to date. Sales data is now hard to find or non-existant online.

Feeling overwhelmed by their back catalogue? How much does it cost to be a Buck-Tick fan? Roughly ¥900 per month since 1987 to own all of the essentials. I charted it out in a spreadsheet. (Last updated in 2020.)

How many songs has each member composed? Here is a songwriting spreadsheet. The file also includes all solo and side projects. No cover songs are listed. (Last updated in 2022.)

Releases are listed in order: Singles, Albums, Videos, Books, Score Books, Music Videos (PVs), Compilations, Cover Songs, Solo Works, Side Projects, Tribute Albums.

Note: Buck-Tick's official web site counts Koroshi No Shirabe as a studio release but on my site I am only counting original works. This album is a re-working of existing material and is on par with the remix album Shapeless in my humble opinion. Instead I am counting the re-release of the indie album Hurry Up Mode, as it is an original studio release that was made accessible to all.

* Buck-Tick albums released through 2010 have been remastered several times but these albums have never been remastered so if you wish to purchase it, it may be harder to find.

** These albums were re-released as the digital remaster edition in 2002 with bonus tracks. First copies included a sticker that made the sealed albums appear to have alternate artwork. A box set was also available. Hidden underneath the obi strips are this spine so you know it is the 2002 remaster.

# The remasters were re-issued with paper sleeves instead of plastic cases (along with a few more albums remastered for the first time) in 2007. 3 of these though imitated the presentation of the original albums. A box was also available for the first few who bought all of the albums. The CDs looked like vinyl records and first copies came with stickers.

## These albums were re-released with paper sleeves as remastered Blu-Spec CD2 in 2017.

[Please note: if you want to get a sense of the band through the singles or greatest hits, then please first invest in the "Catalogue" compilation albums (the more recent the better as they will contain more songs). To own all the songs without buying every single/album release, then consider investing in the compilations that include b-sides so you do not have to purchase the singles.]
