BUCK-TICK is an active visual kei band in Gunma. They have been active since 1984.
marquis Our policy is to keep deceased members as "current members" until the band says otherwise. So Atsushi is not a "former member." Please don't change it again. Thank you!
I will always remember Atsushi as a legend, his style, voice and his contribution to Dark wave to give way to the visual kei influences were something that we will never forget. I love every single Buck Tick song, I'll never forget any of them. I love them.
Rest in peace, Acchan. You left your soul on stage, you fulfilled your dreams and made us happy, thank you very much.
