The band members are 櫻井敦司 (Sakurai Atsushi) (vocals), 今井寿 (Imai Hisashi) (guitars, noises, electronics, vocals), 星野英彦 (Hoshino Hidehiko) (guitars, chorus), 桶口豊 (Higuchi Yutaka) (bass) and ヤガミ・トール (Yagami Toll) (drums).
BUCK-TICK's music has changed and evolved hugely over the course of their career. Their early work is what the Japanese call "positive punk". It used simple rhythms and chords, with the songs mostly in major keys and using some English words in the lyrics. Starting with 1989's TABOO, they experimented with a darker sound, which grew more mature with 狂った太陽 in 1991. darker than darkness style 93 delved into a harsher industrial rock sound which continued all the way up through Mona Lisa OVERDRIVE in 2003. With 2005's 十三階は月光, they deliberately adopted a "goth" concept, which they combined with a retro straight rock sound for the albums 天使のリボルバー (2007) and Memento Mori (2009). Their next album, 2010's RAZZLE DAZZLE, then incorporated many instances of dance-rock.
Some elements that persist throughout their music are resounding, jangling guitar chords, throbbing, prominent bass lines, harsh roars of electronically distorted noise, and ambivalent melodies that wander between major and minor keys, as well as Sakurai's distinctive rich baritone voice. Jrockrevolution described the band's style as having gone "from the bubbly sounds of pop to the buzz of electronic cyberpunk to lustful velvety goth to the smooth style of hard rock and back again". Sakurai, who is the main lyricist of the band, is famous for the erotic decadence of his lyrics, but he also often addresses existential psychological themes. His lyrics is also described as "dance in a daydream about reality". Imai, the main composer, has written many songs that read like science fiction stories, involving genetic engineering and computer hackers, but more recently has branched out into love songs.
As Josephine Yun describes them, in 'A Concise Report on 40 of the Biggest Rock Acts in Japan', "BUCK-TICK's music is smashed-together nuances of everything from Depeche Mode and New Order to U2 and The Knack. While wry, it can float and be nebulously melodic. [...] Masked in eye makeup, Atsushi looks and sounds possessed. BUCK-TICK was (and continues to be) and anomaly in the Japanese music scene, a tangle of goth rock diluted with synth and electronica. It's unhappy, dirty music, the musical equivalent of exploded soot and smoke."
BUCK-TICK and their members have performed with, for example, KMFDM, Soft Ballet, Luna Sea, Sheena Ringo, and The Yellow Monkey. The band members have also participated in different side-projects, such as Schaft, Schwein (Sakurai and Imai with Raymond Watts (PIG) and Sascha Konietzko (KMFDM)), and The Mortal.

The lyrics of BUCK-TICK's song "Kiss Me Good-bye" express feelings of sadness and longing for a final goodbye. The song is about the end of a romantic relationship and the pain of letting go. The lyrics paint a picture of a couple saying their final goodbyes, knowing that they will never see each other again. The first verse describes the woman closing her overflowing eyes and the man kissing her cold and wet lips. The chorus features the repeated phrase "Kiss me good-bye," which is the couple's final farewell. The second verse describes how the man holds the woman tightly, knowing that this will be the last time. The bridge of the song repeats the phrase "Kiss me good-bye" and then ends with a dreamlike, almost surreal moment where the couple disappears into the moon.
The lyrics are emotionally raw and express the sadness and heartbreak of losing someone you love. The music complements the lyrics perfectly, with a beautiful melody and dramatic instrumentation. The melody starts slow and builds in intensity and emotion towards the end. The song is a masterpiece of J-Rock and is considered to be one of BUCK-TICK's greatest hits.

eng lyrics ~
While my overflowing eyes are closed, on my cold, wet lips
Kiss me good-bye, say “this is the end,” and make me cry
As I feel a sad presentiment, on my white neck
Kiss me good-bye, hold me achingly, make me cry
My voice is torn to pieces and dances in the wind, I’m so happy I want to weep
Kiss me good-bye, with your last words, make me cry
Held by the moon, just like this
It would be fine if it all disappeared……
Until the candles go out, until our tears dry up
I want you to look at me and be with me always
Until we crumble, until we break
I want to gaze at you and be here always
Held by the moon, just like this
It would be fine if it all disappeared……
Stopping time, it would be fine
If we just closed our curtain now……
Until the candles go out, until our tears dry up
I want you to look at me and be with me always
Until we crumble, until we break
I want to gaze at you and be here always
Until the candles go out, until our tears dry up
I want you to look at me and be with me always
Until we crumble, until we break
I want to gaze at you and be here always
🖤

なんかもう、全ての音の要素に胸を打たれるというか。
こんなにも泣かせるメロディーラインとギターソロだったのか、と改めて気付かされました。
BUCK-TICKのバラードは時間を置いて聴くとまた違った味わいがあります。
