BUCK-TICK Tour memento mori -REBIRTH- Oct 11th at Zepp Tokyo
A Blood Red Night with BUCK-TICK――



The BUCK-TICK concert tour 'BUCK-TICK Tour memento mori -REBIRTH-' started on September 12th at Yokohama BLITZ. Earlier this year the band had gone on a different tour titled 'BUCK-TICK TOUR2009 "memento mori"', which had ended with a final performance at Tokyo's NHK Hall. During the latter tour BUCK-TICK performed in mid to large-size venues, while for this tour they played mainly in small to mid-size ones. The members were able to come into closer contact with their fans. Also during this tour they took the worldview of the album 'memento mori' to the next level. This is an in-depth live report of the BUCK-TICK concert that took place on October 11th at Zepp Tokyo.




Zepp Tokyo, with a maximum capacity of 2500 people, was the biggest music hall that BUCK-TICK had chosen for their 'REBIRTH' tour. The venue is close to the sea, and since this was October a strong cold wind was blowing outside. But once inside Zepp Tokyo it felt hot from the intensity of the many fans. Everyone was ready for action, with a goodly number of them wearing concert T-shirts with towels around their necks. They were smiling at each other, and waiting for the show to begin. Eventually it was time for the concert to start. Blue and red lights floated around the hall. The audience started handclapping in rhythm with the background music blaring from the speakers. As if on cue with the handclaps, the BUCK-TICK members walked onto the stage. Lots of fans started to call out the members' names. The handclapping continued. From the left, Sakurai appeared and sauntered to the middle of the stage. The first song to begin the night was 'Les Enfants Terribles'. A rainbow colored light rained down on the venue. The backing vocals of Imai and Hoshino could be heard clearly. Fans raised their fists, and during Imai's guitar solo they bounced around as if on fire. The Zepp Tokyo concert was held during the latter half part of their tour schedule. Right from the beginning, it was evident that they were close to perfecting their performance routine for the tour.






The next song was 'スズメバチ / Suzumebachi'. The drums tapped out a rhythmic beat, and a lighthearted melody filled the hall. The crowd clapped their hands just as loudly as the drums. The members and the fans were perfectly in sync with each other. During '勝手にしやがれ / Katte ni Shiyagare' BUCK-TICK wildly moved around as if to plunge the stage into turmoil. The audience reached out with their hands in an attempt to get as close as possible to the members. The upbeat track also had a very mature quality. Sakurai gave a short speech. "Thank you for coming today. We hope you enjoy the show." Then they moved on to 'モンタージュ / Montage'. Along with Imai's guitar the stage lights started to race through the venue. The two guitarists Hoshino and Imai, together with the rhythm section Higuchi and Yagami started off 'MOTEL 13'. As if to calm down the wild music, they played 'アンブレラ / Umbrella' and 'Coyote'. The quiet, subtle melodies were in stark contrast to the forceful charge of a short while ago. The songs lured the fans deeper into the world of BUCK-TICK. During the next song 'キラメキの中で・・・ / Kirameki no Naka de・・・' that world expanded and engulfed the whole venue. The sounds of the bass slithered along the floor and gradually filled Zepp Tokyo. The heavy melody pressed down on the audience. 'Lullaby-Ⅲ' brought the fans to a standstill. The fans watched with rapt attention as Imai thrummed his guitar while gently rocking back and forth.



At that point the loudspeakers started to play music again. It felt as if the concert was divided into to parts. After the music finished, the lights dashed up and down. The tour and album title 'Memento mori' began. While carrying a microphone stand, Sakurai moved about and performed aggressively like something had snapped inside of him. Imai backed up Sakurai, and Higuchi gazed out at the audience while mouthing the lyrics. During 'Jonathan Jet-Coaster' and 'LIMBO' the ferocious music swept through the venue. In 'BUSTER' Yagami's drums violently shook the crowd. In tandem with the drums, Sakurai crazily headbanged. The fans went ecstatic. Sakurai invited the audience to go even wilder. "Sing and dance with us! Let's party!" The fans answered with raised fists. The audience jumped and waved their arms, making the entire venue bounce. They looked like they were given more strength by the flashing stage lights. The next track was '天使は誰だ / Tenshi wa Dare da'. The vicious melody made everyone let loose their thoughts and feelings that they had kept hidden deep inside them. During '真っ赤な夜-Bloody- / Makka na Yoru-Bloody-' the band showed a real 'Makka na Yoru (Blood Red Night)' by covering the hall with a deep red strobe lights. After finishing the song, the members left the stage. But the excited fans wanted more.


The first floor of the venue was a standing room only area, and the considerably large space was packed from front to back with people. With such an audience calling out for an encore, their loud chants were deafening. In response to their calls BUCK-TICK reappeared onstage. They started to play the fast-paced track '地下室のメロディー / Chikashitsu no Melody'. Everyone in the hall had their fists raised high above their heads and violently shook their bodies. Sakurai in a low voice said "We're going to give you the next song 'ai o komete (愛を込めて; with love)'." The audience gleefully cheered and screamed. It was time for '極東より愛を込めて / Kyokuto yori Ai o Komete'. Sakurai sang while also asking and confirming the audience's love. The guitars never slowed down. Some fans were zealously headbanging. Others listened intently with their eyes closed, becoming intoxicated with the music.



The band members returned for another encore. The long night wasn't over yet. The heavy, oppressive melody of the last song disappeared with 'Alice in Wonder Underground'. This track had a cute and fancy quality to it. Pink stage lights shined down on the hall. The band members greeted the fans as they were led into the make-believe world of the song. In sync with the drums, the audience waved their arms back and forth. The members looked on gleefully as they took the crowds into the 'Underground'. The next song 'REVOLVER' pushed the fans straight back into the real world. Higuchi's bass darted across, and the mood immediately changed to an aggressive one. Lots of different melodies were belted out from the band. The drums resounded deeply throughout the hall. During the chorus the drumbeating gradually became stronger as if it were competing with the guitars. 'HEAVEN' was the very last song for the night. The guitars emitted gentle sounds. They were followed by the drums. Finally Sakurai's vocals joined them. The hall was so silent, the chaos of a while ago seemed like it were a dream. In place of the frenzied heat, a warm feeling permeated through the venue. The fans, mesmerized with the music, sang along during the chorus. While still being surrounded by the sounds of Imai's guitar, the members left the stage. Applause welled up from the audience. Even after the members were gone, they kept clapping for a long while.

As was mentioned before, the concert at Zepp Tokyo was held during the latter half of their tour. BUCK-TICK was close to successfully performed in a near perfect way. For this tour they traveled all around Japan from Hokkaido to Okinawa. On October 31st they performed their final concert at Okinawa's NAMURA HALL. The tour continued to grow and nurture the worldview of the album 'memento mori'. But they're not over yet. On December 23rd they will release a concert DVD titled 'memento mori 090702'. It will surely be a great, if a bit early, Christmas present. Fans will have a chance to enjoy BUCK-TICK right up to the end of 2009.

'Mienai mono wo(...)' TRANSLATION

This week, I'm gonna work on the 'Six/Nine' section, which will contain all of the lyrics translations (including S/N's singles), subtitles videos, photo gallery, reviews, and all of the informations that can be found. I'm starting today by giving you another translation for 'Mienai mono wo miyou to suru gokai subete gokai da'.
I think that Six/Nine is really worth having its own section on this site. Not only because I love this album so much- also because it have so many meanings, which fans ought to know.
So, starting from today, I'll try to upload the section as soon as it's possible.

BT in Zepp Tokyo

Hi everybody! This is musicJAPANplus writer kanako! Long time no see! Or wait, did we meet recently?
It's officially autumn here in Tokyo...it has become a bit chilly lately. But in Ikebukuro, where anime is a deeply rooted culture, events were being held and hollers from fans were going up throughout the streets! While eyeing the fired up crowds I made my way to Zepp Tokyo near Tokyo Bay! Ikebukuro wasn't the only place that was hotter than summer! A very exciting concert was about to begin inside Zepp Tokyo!



The day I went to Zepp Tokyo was on a holiday, so lots of tourists were walking about. But even among them a certain group of people were attracting attention. They were all wearing concert T-shirts! As I neared the venue the crowds grew thicker, and finally I reached the entrance! Although there was an hour left until the gates opened, there was already a huge crowd!! One person from a foreign country was just passing by, and the person asked me "What's going on here?" I replied "A Japanese rock band called BUCK-TICK is going to perform live!" The person seemed very interested. Let's hope the person remembers about BUCK-TICK and eventually becomes a fan♪

After going inside the venue soon became jam-packed with fans. It was difficult just to walk! I waded through the crowd wearing concert T-shirts and holding towels, and eventually found a place to sit. It was a long time since I last had attended a BUCK-TICK concert, so I was very excited. Since they are still continuing their tour we cannot reveal the set-list. But we will proudly present the list alongside an in-depth live report so stay tuned!

During the second encore, Higuchi made a 'cute' mistake while playing the first song. The performance ground to a halt. Higuchi with palms together gestured 'sorry' to the members and the audience. The fans called out "Kawaii! (かわいい; cute)' At the end of the show Sakurai 'supported' Higuchi by saying "Lots of interesting things happened today. As for that song, that was a revised edition (laugh)." Everyone roared with laughter, from the audience, members, staff and all other people supporting the band.

For a detailed look at the concert, check out the live report! It will soon become available so please wait for a little while longer☆ See you again! Bye-bye!
