The discography of Buck-Tick includes 24 studio albums, 5 live albums, 2 extended plays, 44 singles, and 43 video albums. Formed in 1983 in Fujioka, Gunma, the classic lineup of lead vocalist Atsushi Sakurai, lead guitarist Hisashi Imai, rhythm guitarist Hidehiko Hoshino, bassist Yutaka Higuchi and drummer Toll Yagami lasted from 1985 until 2023. Following Sakurai's death that year, Imai and Hoshino began sharing lead vocal duties. In their four decade career, nearly all of their albums have reached the top ten on the charts and they have experimented with many different genres of music, including punk, dark wave, electronic, industrial, gothic and straight rock. Buck-Tick are commonly credited as one of the founders of the visual kei movement.[1]
Buck-Tick released both their debut independent and major label studio albums in 1987, and achieved breakthrough success the following year with the album Seventh Heaven (#3) and the single "Just One More Kiss". In 1989, Taboo became their first number-one album. It was followed by several successful albums almost all of which topped the charts, Aku no Hana (1990, which includes the song of the same name; the band's only number-one single), Kurutta Taiyou (1991), Darker Than Darkness -Style 93- (1993), Six/Nine (1995), as well as the remixed studio album Hurry Up Mode (1990 Mix) and the compilation album Koroshi no Shirabe: This Is Not Greatest Hits (1992).
The band's best-selling albums are Aku no Hana (435,000 copies), Koroshi no Shirabe (338,000), Kurutta Taiyou (327,000), Taboo (300,000), Six/Nine (241,000), and Hurry Up Mode (215,000); while their best-selling singles are "Aku no Hana" (221,000), "Uta" (200,000), "Speed" (180,000), "Dress" (171,000), and "Just One More Kiss" (147,000).[2]
