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] and has sold over 300,000 copies.[3] Issay (Der Zibet) provides vocals for "Itoshi no Rock Star". "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.[3] It 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.
