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.

LUNA SEA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
キミに何処か魅せられてゆく
刺激を今求め続けて
クールな素振りもできぬまま
耳元で君が囁いて
聖なるこの夜を切り裂いた
「罪深き二人なら 愛し合える...」
溜め息に乗せて夢を吐く
退屈な夜をぬり変えて
死にかけのハートを揺さぶる
脈拍はレッドを飛び越える
I need someone
「罪深き二人なら 愛し合える...」
「汚れた時代だから
愛し合える...」 I swear to God
突き刺さる この胸に
キミとなら
汚れなき愛を誓えそうさ
「罪深き夜に. 聖なる夜に...」
「聖なる夜に...」
突き刺さる この胸に
キミとなら 何かが
突き刺さる この胸に
キミとなら
汚れなき愛を誓えそうさ
「罪深き夜に. 聖なる夜に...」
God help us ... 愛し合える
So help me God ... 獣のように
The lyrics of "G" by LUNA SEA express the desire for excitement and passion for being consumed by the allure of another person. The singer is captivated by the piercing gaze of this person, which draws them further into their world. Despite their "cool" demeanor, they are unable to resist the temptations that come with being in love with this person. The night is described as "sacred," but also "sinful." The singer reflects on the struggle between wanting to be pure in their love but also succumbing to the primal desires that come with passion.
The chorus repeats the phrase, "If we are both sinners, we can love each other..." repeated twice, which expresses that the passion felt by the two people is so strong that it transcends morality. The second time the phrase is sung, the addition of "because it is a dirty time" expresses that this love feels like a refuge from the harsh reality of the time period in which they live.
The use of the phrase "I swear to God" interspersed throughout the lyrics almost feels like a plea, asking for divine intervention to allow them to love in a way they are not supposed to. The final line, "God help us... love each other, so help me God... like a beast," implies that love can be both beautiful and savage, intense and consuming.
