A lot of Tumblr users liked that first Atsushi Sakurai video, Ameon no Chopin wa Shirabe, so here he is again. That was from his solo project; he normally performs as the frontman for BUCK-TICK. Here, they are performing “Sasayaki” (“Whisper”) on their 1998 tour Sweet Strange Live, which was to promote their 1997 album Sexy Stream Liner. (If it wasn’t obvious enough that this is from the late ‘90s, Atsushi is wearing velour for fucks sake.) The lyrics to Sasayaki are fairly erotic; coupled with Atsushi’s porno noises, one cannot help but assume he’s singing about BDSM.
A note about BUCK-TICK: The band has been around for over 25 years at this point. If you would like to explore their discography, please be aware that their sound has morphed extensively over the years. Need a classic album to start you off? It’s gotta be Six/Nine.
