Alice in Wonder Underground
Alice in Wonder Underground is the twenty-sixth single by the Japanese rock band Buck-Tick, released on August 8, 2007 by BMG Japan.
The single was released in regular and limited edition. On the Oricon Singles Chart peaked at number 18 and charted for 7 weeks.
The title song is lyrical and visual rendition of Lewis Carroll Alice in Wonderland. Despite its "catchy tune with a bright, happy melody", the lyrics are on the contrary very gothic and dark with a memorable chorus "Devil, Angel & Epicurean, let's go!". In some instances, Imai in the background sings some lyrics from the band's previous song "Diabolo".
Music video shows a very "sophisticated", "macabre depiction of the story", with Alice chasing her rabbit, "the band periodically becoming rabbits", and the lead vocalist Atsushi Sakurai dressed as the Mad Hatter.
