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 ↴
信じられないまだ迷って
君を知るまでそう
自分さえ見えなかった
一人で歩いた
気づかなかったこのまぶしさ
全てと触れ合うこと
そうなぜか恐くて
I love you 浮かんでいる
血を流し続け戦い続け歩いてく
君と出逢うまでそう
信じてたなんとなく
傷つき合っても
強く愛した旅の途中で
まだ終らない夢
抱きしめていたいけど
I miss you いつの日にか
その傷を
I love you 癒せるから
そう 君を愛してる
Love Song Together
そう 君を離さない
一人きりじゃない
信じていたい離れていても
ねえ逢いたい時は
この歌を抱きしめて
I miss you いつの日にか
この夢を
I love you もう一度
So 君と伝えたい
Love Song Together
そう 君といたかった
そう 君を愛してる
Love Song Together
そう 君をこの愛を忘れない
Love Together
The lyrics in Luna Sea's Love Song express the feelings of someone who has found love but was lost before that. The singer of the song starts by saying that he or she is not alone and still lost and unable to believe what has happened. The discovery of love has allowed the singer to see beyond just themselves and realize the brightness in the world. However, despite the newfound happiness, touching and embracing everything becomes scary. The lyrics suggest that the singer has suffered in the past, fighting and bleeding in battles until the moment they meet their significant other, believing in something "vaguely" or "just because."
The love between the singer and their partner is portrayed as something strong and enduring, even when hurtful events occur. Despite the journey being long and not over, the singer still yearns for more moments with their lover, embracing them, and healing their wounds. The song's lyrics show that the love between the two, the memories that they share, and the happiness they bring each other, will always remain in their hearts.

当時の雑誌インタビュー
(確かUV.ライター東條さん)にて
時系列
・7月31日真駒内アイスアリーナ公演後のメンバーミーティングで終幕の決定
・年末のファイナルアクトが決まる
Jさんが
SUGIZOが、『最後にみんなでやり遂げよう』って言ってこの曲を持って来た。
素晴らしいギターソロだよね。
って言っていたのを思い出しました。
mind peace
LUNA SEAを本格的に好きになったのが2000年だった。当時はインターネットが今ほどそんなに普及してなくて、終幕の情報がすぐにはキャッチできずリリースされる新譜を子供心に楽しみしていた。一度聞いた瞬間、なんでこんな刹那的な曲なんだろう、悲しさや愛しさ、なんとも言えない感情に覆われるような曲だなーと思っていた翌日に終幕を知り、曲の意味を理解。
pvには随所に戦争の歴史や平和の祈りも込められている映像もあるけれど、歌詞からは当時のバンドの心境が伺える。lunacyリリース時にcrazy about youとどちらを入れるか悩まれたとのことらしいですが、
あえて当時のラストシングルにしたのはメンバーにとってもすごく意味のある曲だったと思う。メンバー意図かは分からないないけど、後にヒストリーバージョンpvもあったし、rebootや25thの大阪城でやはりヒストリー映像付きの演奏がとあったりとメンバーにもSLAVEにとっても他シングルに比べてもすごく重要な曲だと思う。
最後のワンフレーズも1stシングルのbelieveと同じ、この愛を忘れないとしているところも意図的になんだと思う
sugizoさんreboot後は一貫してエレアコでやってるけど、FAの時みたいにアコギとエレキ使い分ける版を生で聴いてみたい。そしてまたライブでアンコール待ちの時にSLAVEで大合唱したいですね^_^

ちなみに私の中ではso tender... も終幕にまつわる曲です。
「確かな居場所 ぬくもり さめていった」は終幕に向かう道。
「別々の道を歩いた 何度も振り返った どこかないものねだりだった 月はそっと浮かんだ」は、終幕からRebootまでの歩み。
「君の温もり 途切れそうになっても
君が残した 声は離しやしない」
ここで言う「君」はLUNA SEAという繋がり。
私にとって、LOVE SONGとSo tender... は、LUNA SEAとともに歩んだ私たちの歴史です。この歴史の一部になれたことが本当に幸せです。

English Translation:
I'm actually not alone...
It's so amazing, I can't believe it
Until I knew you, I couldn't even see myself, that I could really be this way
I would just walk along by myself, never noticing this blinding light
For some reason, I was just too scared to touch anything and let anything touch me...
(I Miss You, I Love You) Your eyes remind me...
Before I met you, I somehow believed that all I could do was battle and just let blood shed as I walked along my way
Even if we ended up hurting each other along the journey, I know I loved you
This dream isn't over yet...
And I want to hold on to it for as long as I can
(I Miss You, I Love You) And I know all these wounds will heal someday soon...
(So...Love Song Together) I love you
And I will never let you go (in this heart of mine)
"...I'm actually not alone..." I want to keep believing that
Even if we've let go
Whenever you miss me, just embrace this song...
(I Miss You, I Love You) I want to have this dream again, someday soon
(So...Love Song Together) I want to tell you... That I always wanted to be with you
(So...Love Song Together) And that I love you...
I will never forget you Nor this love...

「Love」って単語をタイトルに使ってこなかったLUNA SEAが率直に「LOVE SONG」って曲を私たちに送ってくれたことで、本当にサヨナラなんだな…って思った思い出の名曲です

みんなみんな抱き締めてずっと待ってたよ

２０年前のFINAL ACTでは涙なくしては聞けなかった。
でもREBOOTして今ではアンコール待ちで皆で合唱しちゃう曲でもあるんだぜ♪
っていうくらい、皆の印象が変わった曲だと思う。

正直、この曲を初めて聴いた時は、もう二度とLUNA SEAには会えないと思っただけに、これだけコンスタントに作品を発表してくれる今の状況は、まるで夢のようでもある。
