Overview
With Razzle Dazzle, Buck-Tick wanted to go beyond the straight rock "band sound" from their previous two albums.[6] Incorporating elements of dance music,[7] its title was taken from a song in the 2002 American musical film Chicago.[8]
"Dokudanjō Beauty" was used as the second ending theme song for the Japanese airing of Battlestar Galactica.[9] This album version features Lucy, vocalist of the all-female rock band LAZYgunsBRISKY, singing the chorus.[10] The single version of "Kuchizuke" was used as the opening theme for the Shiki anime.[11] The anime also used "Gekka Reijin", as its second ending song.[12]
