LUNA SEA were one of the major forces in visual rock throughout the 1990s. Formed in 1989, the band consisted of members 河村隆一 (RYUICHI) (vocals), J (bass), Sugizo (guitar, violin), INORAN (guitar), and 真矢 (Shinya) (drums/percussion).

LUNA SEA were signed to Yoshiki of X JAPAN’s Extasy Records and released their debut album LUNA SEA in 1991. They became immensely popular following this release, which combined softer and structured visual kei with some harder, more speed oriented tracks. Hardworking, talented and image-conscious, LUNA SEA achieved success rival to that of their mentors and friends in X JAPAN. The band continued until 2000 (having previously been on a one-year hiatus during 1997), wrote two more albums (SHINE and LUNACY, respectively) and came to an “indefinite end” at the end of the year. The members remain very active, now pursuing various solo projects. Worth noting, members INORAN and 河村隆一 are currently involved in the band Tourbillon together.

Hey guys...so I've curently downloaded a few of their albums, but am interesting in buying re-mastered versions. Has each of their albums been remastered and are they worth getting? Thanks

you should give more attention to the 1st album, but it would be better if the remastered version was online ;/

LUNA SEA's b-sides are my favorite from them :D Songs like WITH, Looper, Ray, Claustrophobia, INTO THE SUN... true masterpieces :D But well, 90% os LUNA SEA songs rocks :D (except for most of the first album and some songs of the other albuns, such as SYMPTOM, for example =X)

what's your definition for cliché? Because it's probably totally different from mine.

I For You is just cliché pop rock sometimes, it's a good song, but BREATHE is more classy and different yet still pop.

LUNA SEA is the major influence in late-90s, 2000s vk bands

@chuuzetsu How does it not add up? Compare Dir en grey's b-side "Unknown...Despair...a lost" on the 1998 "Jealous" single to LUNA SEA's "G." on their 1996 "Style" album. If you don't see the LUNA SEA influence, much less the ENTIRE musical rip-off that's borderline plagiarism, then I really don't know what to tell you...

I think I for You is awesome. While BREATHE is a good song too it lacks what is necessary to be a single in my opinion...it's so boring sometimes :/...so equal from beginning to end... :/
