LUNA SEA's sound is firmly based in 80s hard rock with a versatile progressive approach to songwriting. With mixed elements of punk, metal, and some pop, they form hard, slow, or fast tunes, as well as ballads, all with a mysterious atmosphere. Their softer side, with violin playing, also proves equally as strong.
LUNA SEA, due to early use of makeup and costumes, and their widespread popularity, is considered one of the biggest influential bands in the visual kei movement. Throughout the mid 90s, they used significantly less makeup, and after a one-year break in 1998, they came back with a more progressive rock style and toned down their onstage attire. When they went on an indefinite hiatus in 2000, they left a big influence on the Japanese rock scene.
LUNA SEA achieved its breakthrough success with a sold-out tour in 1991, which helped them to get a contract with MCA, and with the release of their second album IMAGE which recached #9 on the charts. After moving to Universal Music Group in 1998 the band released their best-selling album, SHINE, with an estimated 902,310 copies sold in one year in Japan alone, although this is less than their compilation album SINGLES which managed to sell over one million in Japan. Throughout their career, LUNA SEA released seven studio albums, one live album, seven VHS/DVD releases, and fourteen singles, and sold over eight million records in Japan alone.
On August 25, 2010, the day of a full moon, it was announced that they would hold an urgent press conference on August 31 in Hong Kong, where they previously announced the end of their activities in 2000. During the press conference, the band confirmed a reunion and announced their first tour in ten years, new songs, and added that there will be even more news with time. The world tour, named LUNA SEA 20th ANNIVERSARY WORLD TOUR REBOOT -to the New Moon- began on November 27 in Germany, and continued with performances in the United States, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and ended on December 31 in Japan, the last of a two-day performance in Kobe.
In response to the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami that occured March 11, LUNA SEA announced that they would release their first new song in 10 years. "Promise" was released on April 9 exclusively on Amazon websites as a digital download, with all proceeds donated to the Japanese Red Cross to aid the victims. Their December 4, 2010 concert in Los Angeles was filmed in 3D, and it was released as a live album and video. Both titled LUNA SEA 3D IN LOS ANGELES, the album was released on June 1, while the video was shown in theaters nationwide in Japan on June 4. The band streamed a live press conference, at the movie's premier at Toho Cinemas Roppongi Hills, through Ustream.tv on May 29. There, they announced a charity concert titled LUNA SEA For JAPAN A Promise to The Brave at the 30,000 seat Saitama Super Arena on October 22. The concert will be broadcast life on WOWOW, and all proceeds from the event will go to the Japanese Red Cross for the victims of the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. Tickets for the show went on sale on August 14 and sold out in five minutes.

何度も
唇は 答えを持っているのか
聞かせて
今キミを消しさる事ができない
どうしても
この胸の 時間が奪われてゆく
その瞳に 吸い込まれそうになる
何度も
今キミが 答えを持っているのさ
きっと
一人の宇宙で 生み出された物は
熱を感じない 塊だった
キミに 触れたら そっと 触れたら
体中駆け巡った
キミに 触れたら そっと 触れたら
失われた何かが
今キミを 消しさる事ができない
どうしても
この胸の 時間が奪われてゆく
どうしても
その瞳に映っている
微笑みを 知った時
今キミが 教えてくれた何かが
あった
二人の隙間で 育ってゆく物は
温もりに満ちた 魂だった
キミに 触れたら そっと 触れたら
体中駆け巡った
キミに 触れたら そっと 触れたら
戻れなくなりそうさ
キミに 触れたら そっと 触れたら
体中駆け巡った
キミに 触れたら そっと 触れたら
失われた何かが
キミに 縛られ そっと 縛られ
溺れてしまうのもいいさ
キミに 触れたら そっと 触れたら
本当の自分が
キミに 触れたら そっと 触れたら
もう戻れない
The lyrics of FEEL by Luna Sea depict an individual drawn to someone's captivating eyes and yearning to know if their lips hold the answer they seek. The singer feels a powerful connection to this person they cannot resist, and they cannot escape the grasp of the feeling that engulfs their heart. The lyrics also describe how touching this person fills the singer's body with a rush of sensation they have not previously experienced. They feel like they have lost something and cannot go back to who they were before. However, being with this person has allowed them to discover something valuable that they were not aware of previously.
The chorus repeats this feeling of being unable to let go of this person even if the feeling overwhelms them. They want to touch them again, be close to them, and experience those magical and indescribable sensations. The lyrics also suggest that the relationship has given birth to something quite special, being described as a "warm soul" that fills the gap between the two of them. Finally, the singer connects their existence with the person they are drawn to, describing how they could drown in their feelings and never want to return to who they were before they met them.
