With a now wide-open schedule, Buck-Tick went back into the studio in the fall of 1989 and recorded their next studio album. They played their first concert since Imai’s arrest at the Gunma Music Center in their home prefecture on December 20. Nine days later, they played a Buck-Tick Phenomenon concert at the Tokyo Dome in front of 43,000 people, the largest concert the band had ever played up to that point. Nearly every year since, Buck-Tick have held a large concert at the end of December, usually at the Nippon Budokan, to celebrate the anniversary of their reunion after Imai’s arrest. Since 2001, they have named these concerts The Day in Question , and the shows have often been broadcast live on TV.
