Six/Nine

Six/Nine is the eighth studio album by the Japanese rock band Buck-Tick. It was released in a clear purple case on May 15, 1995, through Victor Entertainment.[1] It peaked at number one on the Oricon chart.[2] It was certified gold in the same month[3] and sold over 240,760 copies in the first year.[4] Issay (Der Zibet) provides vocals for "Itoshi no Rock Star".[5] "Rakuen (Inori Koinegai)" caused controversy because some of the lyrics were lifted from the Quran and later the album was re-issued with the offending part removed by November 1995 in a clear case.[6] The album was digitally remastered and re-released on September 19, 2002, with a bonus track. The album remastered once again and released on September 5, 2007, in a clear red case.
