"Moonlight Escape" is a single by Japanese rock band Buck-Tick. It was released on August 26, 2020, by Lingua Sounda (Victor Entertainment) in three editions, with the B-side "Kogoeru". Both tracks are part of the album Abracadabra.

Production and release

The album was released in two editions. The Limited Edition A comes with a Blu-ray disc, and Limited Edition B comes with a DVD, both containing the music video for the title song.

Recording began shortly after the release of the previous single “Datenshi” and it was expected to be released in the summer, but the COVID-19 pandemic slightly delayed the plans.

The B-side "Kogoeru" (凍える) was chosen as the ending theme for the drama Yami Shibai.

Commercial performance

The single reached 13th position on the Oricon Singles Chart and remained on the chart for six weeks.
