He was physically abusive and made Atsushi feel like shit. Atsushi's only outlet was music, specifically punk rock. Because of this, he rebelled at school and became known as a loner. Once he heard his one friend, Hisashi wanted to start a band, he offered to be the drummer. In high school, Hisashi Imai, Hidehiko Hoshino, Yutuka Higuchi, and started a band together in high school, even though none of them knew how to play instruments. Higuchi wanted Hishino to be the lead singer, but Hoshino didn’t like the attention so Atsushi became the lead singer instead. They convinced Toll Yagami, whose band had just broken up, to be their drummer. After the band members graduated, they started to talk about moving to Toko. Atsushi's s dad was against it and he didn’t want to leave his family alone with his abusive father, so he stayed in Fujioka. On the weekends, the band would come back to their hometown to practice with Atsushi After Atsushii’s father died, he finally felt his family was safe enough for him to move to Tokyo with the rest of the band. They performed covers at small venues until they were scouted out at a live house called Shinjuki attic by scouted by Sawai Kazuo, and picked up by the independent music label “Taijyou Records” in July 1986. After getting signed, they immediately released their first single “To Search” on October 21st, 1986. After this, they started to perform more, frequently playing the live house circuit in Tokyo. After this, they released their first album “Hurry Up Mode” on April 1st, 1987. On the same day, they played a concert named “Buck Tick Phenomenon” at Toshima Public Hall in Imebukuro. Everybody thought the hall would be too big for them, but previous to the concert they placed black and white sticker advertisements with only the words “Buck Tick Phenomenon April 1st Toshima Public Hall” all over popular youth districts in Tokyo. Taijyuo Records staff were almost arrested for defacement of public property because of this. But it worked, and the managed to sell 400 tickets. This got major labels attentions. Major labels had begun scouting the band, but they wanted to continue pursuing music on their own terms and refused to sign unless the label would agree to their four conditions: first, that the band would be able to make their own decisions about their hair, makeup, clothing, and general image; second, that they would never be forced to change the band lineup; third, that they would never be forced to use session musicians, and last, that they would be able to do all of their own production work. Most record companies refused the idea of accepting such demands from a new band, but Junichi Tanaka of Victor Invitation Records decided to accept their terms, and offered them Victor's Aayoma studio as a place to practice. He did so after attending the Buck-Tick Phenomenon concert. On June 16, 1987, the band held Buck-Tick Phenomenon II at the Live Inn in Shibuya to bid farewell to their indie days. A home video of the concert, Buck Tick Phenomenon Live at the Live Inn, was later released on September 21 as their major label debut, reaching No. 4 on the Oricon video charts. On September 3, Buck Tick opened their personal administrative office, which they named Shaking Hands, Inc., in honor of all the musical connections they hoped to make in the future. Soon after, they embarked on their first national tour. They released their first major label album, Sexual XXXXX! on November 21, and it climbed to No. 33 on the Oricon charts. Although a good result for a new band, the album was not well-received and the group also faced accusations of "selling out". Buck Tick had become popular enough that they could only play at large halls now. They missed small live houses, so they organized a secret gig under the false name "Bluck Tlick" at Shinjuku Loft on January 24, 1988. The alias was taken from a shōjo manga that was based on themselves, and they used it as an opportunity to play their older songs. They released the EP Romanesque on March 21. Having now recorded all of the songs they had, production of their third studio album was more difficult. However, Seventh Heaven peaked at number three on the chart when it was released on June 21, 1988. It was Tanaka's idea to release three albums and no singles in their first two years at Victor. Buck Tick’s first major label single "Just One More Kiss", became their first hit in October 1988. The band made their first live television appearance the following month performing it on the popular music program Music Station. The song was also used in a series of television commercials in which the band appeared advertising Victor's CDian Stereo, with the slogan "The super bass will firecracker”" (a pun on Buck-Tick's name, which means "firecracker"). The lengthy Seventh Heaven tour also began in October and ran until the end of December. It was on this tour that the band became conscious of their stage shows, and the first where they employed stage risers so that each member could be seen from a distance. At the end of the year, Buck-Tick were one of the recipients of the Newcomer Award at the 30th Japan Record Awards, which also made them nominees for Best New Artist. Taboo, the band's fourth studio album, was previously recorded in London in September 1988 with producer Owen Paul. The band had also played a gig there, at the Greyhound music club, and amongst those who attended were members of the band Der Zibet, who were also recording in London at the time. The members of Buck Tick loved London, especially Kenji, who felt that the music scene there was more welcoming of dark and serious music. With the album, the band broke into a darker, more serious sound which took a fair amount of criticism from members of the Japanese music scene who had previously thought of Buck Tick as little more than idols. However, it became the band's first to reach number one on the charts when it was released on January 18, 1989. The following two days marked the end of the Seventh Heaven tour with the band's first concerts at the Nippon Budokan, which were recorded for the two-part concert video Sabbat. On March 22, 1989, the band started the Taboo tour. At this point they had stopped putting their hair up that extensively, and Kenji had even given up on dyeing his. The tour was scheduled to run to the end of May, but it was cancelled abruptly when IMAI was arrested for LSD possession in April. The incident was covered in newspapers and tabloids at the time, but since, the band has kept it very quiet. Buck Tick went on hiatus and IMAI had to appear at a court hearing, which was attended by hundreds of concerned fans and was covered on television. The guitarist was given a suspended sentence, and the band's agency was flooded with fan letters pleading for them not to disband. The band held a press conference in July, where they announced that Buck Tick is the five members, and that none of them could be replaced. With a now wide-open schedule, Buck Tick went back into the studio in the fall of 1989 and recorded their next studio album. They played their first concert since IMAI’s arrest at the Gunma Music Center in their home prefecture on December 20. Nine days later, they played a Buck-Tick Phenomenon concert at the Tokyo Dome in front of 43,000 people, the largest concert the band had ever played up to that point. Nearly every year since, Buck-Tick have held a large concert at the end of December, usually at the Nippon Budokan, to celebrate the anniversary of their reunion after Imai's arrest. Since 2001, they have named these concerts The Day in Question, and the shows have often been broadcast live on TV. On January 24, 1990, the band released "Aku no Hana", which became their first single to reach number one. The album Aku no Hana followed on February 1, and went much further into the dark and gothic image they had begun to explore on Taboo and which would later become their trademark. It was named after French poet Charles Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du Mal because it deals with similar themes. It became their second consecutive number one album and remains the group's best-selling to date. One week later, a new mix of Hurry Up Mode was released and also topped the charts. The Aku no Hana tour began in March, and lasted approximately four months with 51 concerts, prioritizing locations that were cancelled during the Taboo tour. In the summer, the album Symphonic Buck-Tick in Berlin was released on July 21, featuring orchestral versions of some of their songs performed by the Berlin Chamber Orchestra. Buck-Tick's first solo outdoor concerts, named A Midsummer Night's Dream, followed on August 2 and 5. An eight-date arena tour titled 5 for Japanese Babies was held in December. In the fall of 1990, Buck-Tick went back to the studio to work on their sixth studio album, Kurutta Taiyou. They spent 800 hours making it, much more than any of their previous albums. The difference was noticeable as the sound is much deeper and more sophisticated, using many more studio production effects than they did previously. It was at this point that the direction of the band began to change subtly, as Sakurai began to write almost all of the lyrics. Kenji’s mother, whom he had been very close to, died, and due to the band's busy touring schedule, he was unable to visit her before the end. In interviews, the singer said that the pain he felt from these events strongly influenced his lyrics, and that this was when he started writing about real emotions, rather than what he thought was cool., From then on he brought a continuously evolving sense of melancholy and psychological depth to the band's lyrics. As of now, it is April 1991. Buck Tick released their album Kurutta Taiyou in February, and they’ve been on tour ever since.
