Cosmos is the ninth studio album by the Japanese rock band Buck-Tick. The album was released on June 21, 1996, through Victor Entertainment.[1] It was the group's last album released through Victor and peaked at number six on the Oricon charts.[2] Cosmos has sold 130,000 copies within two weeks.[3] The album was digitally remastered and re-released on September 19, 2002, with two bonus tracks. It was remastered and re-released again on September 5, 2007. The song "Tight Rope" was later re-recorded as the b-side to the group's "Alice in Wonder Underground" single in 2007,[4] and "Sane" was re-recorded in 2012 for their "Elise no Tame ni" single.[5] The album was heavily influenced by electronic music, as the band started gravitating towards cyberpunk music.[6][7]
