Atsushi Sakurai is the Vocalist of the Japanese Rock band BUCK-TICK. Sakurai was hugely influenced by David Bowie, and he even played a cover of David Bowie’s song “Space Oddity” at his solo live in 2004. He is also influenced by post-punk/first wave goth acts such as The Sisters of Mercy, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Clan of Xymox, and the Japanese artists Der Zibet and Masami Tsuchiya. He claims to love “dark” music in general.
Atsushi Sakurai is the only BUCK-TICK member to ever have released material as a solo artist under his own name. Most the songs he has written express his personal preferences—they are dark, jagged, and atmospheric. His songs typically have dark overtones and his lyrics transmit a distinctive world view, exploring the malice and hatred in the depths of our hearts that gouge out the human essence, reason, society and organization, the estrangement and friction produced within the physical world, self-love and self-admonition. Sakurai also starred in “Longinus,” a short vampire film directed by Ryuhei Kitamura.
