Buck-Tick is one of the few Japanese bands I like. The lead vocalist, Atsushi Sakurai, is HAWT and SEXAY. (Yes, I need to write it like that, I'm in fangirl mode now. 8D ) It's a good thing I don't live in Japan because I'd consider stalking as a full-time career. There are a few voice actors there who are HAWT and SEXAY as well. XD
I have fond memories of going to the discotheque every Friday night when I was (MUCH) younger, ordering a brown cow and waiting for the DJ to play some good music so I could start dancing. I would reach home at 4am reeking of cigarettes (even though I'm a non-smoker) and feeling great, having danced the night away, my ears still ringing with the music. I miss my youth and my energy very, very much. 8(
Maybe it was the eye makeup in the youtube video but he reminded me of Johnny Depp. I love listening to your songs because it's music I have never heard of before. Love this great macro shot too!!!
I agree with @wannabe - he definitely had some Depp in him... maybe a cross between Adam Lambert and Johnny Depp? Love the video!
And, I love Mr. Dancing Ant! He's wonderful! fav :)
what a fabulous close up! indeed, this ant looks like he's dancin' his little heart out... awesome :) (i remember brown cows... but i think i preferred white russians better ;p)
another great macro...and the dance theme for it is great...never heard the music before...and Catherine is right...he does remind me of Johnny Depp...
Did he say Bibbidy Bobbidy Boo?! Hee hee loved it =) your commentary made me giggle im all for hawt and sexay boys! bring em on.... your shot as always is fantastic and i love that he looks like he's dancing!
@mantha He did, he did! 8D The song is actually a tribute to the legendary Gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhart. Part of the lyrics translate like this:
Welcome into the dream world, a mysterious fantasy
With his brilliance, he’ll mesmerize you, magician Django
Miracle skills, he’s excellent
The gods don’t notice him, he’s overlooked
Ah, the bastard’s a trickster
Moulin Rouge adventure, moonlit night, my lost little kitten
And now he's stealing into your heart while you can’t even see him
A lot of their songs have very rich imagery in the lyrics. A lot of their songs are also super sexy and explicit. My son, after listening to me listening to Buck-Tick a few hundred times over, said to me one day that he had noticed how they like to sing about the moon, beauty, dreams, eternity, love, kisses, wings, angels, blood, dying, and so on. The band has been around for more than 25 years. They are wildly successful in Japan. And I think I have rambled enough. XD
@myautofocuslife Ah, the performance makes more sense when you know what they're singing about! They seem cool though, the lead singer reminded me of an eccentric character Johnny Depp might play in a Tim Burton movie =) and Johnny Depp is always sexay and hawt!
He really looks like he's dancing :) Loved the title. Also watched the video.... good one ... it's actually got melody, which is something that's quite lacking in songs these days.
Instant fav! I love this. I was hoping to get an ant or other bug doing this or looking like it was waving "bye" for my last photo of the year today, but never did. This is excellent! And I miss my youth and energy too!
This ant looks like is realy having a rave. Again such great detail in your shots. Loved to dance the night like you. Still jig around sometimes, the energy can be summoned at times. Yes I miss my youth and energy too!
A great, big, hawt and loud and rockin', totally groovin' "THANK YOU!" to everyone! Ants are great fun to observe and shoot. I just wish they weren't so fast all the time. (I'm slow, have always been, will always be!) Thank you so much for your supportive comments. I am grateful!
Someone once made the observation that "youth is wasted on the young"
Never liked that comment because it sounds like the person didn't enjoy his youth, and now regrets it. Sounds like you had great times, and lived full. And from your photos, comments, it appears you still are. :)
Great photo by the way. I think the ant is tryin to raise the roof!
By the time I get to the bottom of your comments on some of your photos I forget what the photo is as I do this tired too much of the time so back up I go to the top. This is a fantastic shot, Livia. He makes me laugh. What a great capture. FAV
He looks like a wild dancer! Wonderful capture. I miss my dancing days too but I like to turn up the music and dance at home. Or I listen to music from my Ipod - if it is late at night.
And, I love Mr. Dancing Ant! He's wonderful! fav :)
( For me , dancing is a very complicated way to move ) .
@bruni No, I didn't, I believe the theme contest ended last week. 8)
