Alice in Wonder Underground (アリス イン ワンダー アンダーグラウンド) is the twenty-sixth single released by the Japanese Rock band Buck-Tick, released on August 8, 2007 by BMG Japan.[1]
The single was released in regular and limited edition.[2] On the Oricon Singles Chart peaked at number 18 and charted for 7 weeks.[3]
The title song is lyrical and visual rendition of Lewis CarrollAlice in Wonderland.[2] 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!".[2] In some instances, Imai in the background sings some lyrics from the band's previous song "Diabolo".[2]
Music video shows a very "sophisticated",[4] "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.[5][6][7]
