LUNA SEA’s masterpieces: songs with deep appeal that even connoisseurs admire (41–50)
LimitLUNA SEA
LUNA SEA, a visual kei band that was active in the 90s, has released new music for the first time in two years.
It serves as the theme song for the anime Endride.
The melody becomes more up-tempo toward the chorus, which suits a battle-themed anime well.
BelieveLUNA SEA
LUNA SEA’s debut single, which reached No.
11 on the Oricon chart at the time, is a striking track featuring vocals rich in falsetto, a beautiful melody, and intertwining twin guitars.
Its intense yet cohesive beauty still sounds fresh when revisited today.
MECHANICAL DANCELUNA SEA
There was a time when the image of a rock band bassist was that of a quiet player steadily laying down eighth notes, but many bassists who debuted in so-called visual kei bands overturned that notion.
At the forefront is J from LUNA SEA.
His charismatic appearance and aggressive yet melodic bass inspired countless kids to pick up the instrument.
If there’s a track where you can really enjoy J’s original bass solo, it’s Mechanical Dance.
The solo showcases J’s sensibility, incorporating chords within phrases that play off the backbeat.
The song and its solo were so influential that similar types of bass solos began appearing frequently in tracks by various visual kei bands afterward.
Be sure to check it out.
The End of the DreamLUNA SEA
A song released by LUNA SEA in 2012 as their 16th single.
Drawing fully on their long-cultivated career, its powerful, internationally styled rock sound, aggressive guitar riffs, and RYUICHI’s commanding vocals convey the message that “the end of one dream is also the beginning of a new one,” giving a supportive push to those pursuing their dreams.
preciousLUNA SEA
LUNA SEA is also a visual-kei band that represents the 1990s.
Formed with its current members in 1989, they made their major debut in 1992.
Although they went on hiatus in 2000, they resumed activities in 2010.
Because typhoons often hit on the days of big concerts or anniversary shows, they are known as a “storm-bringing band.”
