LUNA SEA Popular Song Rankings [2026]
Formed in 1989, LUNA SEA declared a “final act” in 2000 and went on hiatus, but resumed activities in 2010 and has continued to thrive ever since.
As one of the leading bands of Japan’s visual kei scene, they have had a profound influence.
I would like to introduce their appeal along with a ranking of their most popular songs.
LUNA SEA Popular Song Rankings [2026] (1–10)
ROSIERLUNA SEA1rank/position
It was in July 1994 that a classic bursting with the allure of a guitar riff was born.
Released by LUNA SEA, this work is a masterpiece that portrays the struggle to seek the meaning of existence against the backdrop of a hopeless city.
A phrase symbolizing pure love, together with the weighty music, shakes the listener’s heart.
In the version included on the album MOTHER, the track closes with striking spoken lines and guitar noise, revealing meticulous attention to detail.
The determination to keep looking forward despite loneliness and despair is sure to resonate with rock fans.
It’s a song that speaks to a weary heart—perfect for a nighttime drive.
STORMLUNA SEA2rank/position
LUNA SEA’s classic song “STORM.” Many people probably have the impression that LUNA SEA’s songs are often high-difficulty pieces built around high tones.
While that’s certainly true of many LUNA SEA tracks, there are also some that are very easy to sing.
One such example is “STORM.” This song is unusual among LUNA SEA’s works in that it’s composed within a very narrow vocal range.
There are no shout sections either, so any man in his 40s should be able to sing it.
I for YouLUNA SEA3rank/position
A classic song by LUNA SEA, a visual kei rock band representing the 1990s.
Released in July 1998, it became a hot topic as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “God, Please Give Me More Time.” The original piece composed by SUGIZO was revised by RYUICHI.
It’s a warm, heartfelt track that even features SUGIZO’s mother on cello.
The lyrics gently express how the protagonist—who believed they were incapable of truly loving someone—comes to understand the meaning of love through meeting someone special.
A massive hit, the song has remained one of LUNA SEA’s signature tracks, loved for many years.
It’s perfect for when you want to remember what it feels like to be in love or to reaffirm your feelings for someone important.
DESIRELUNA SEA4rank/position
In December 1995, LUNA SEA rode a wave of unstoppable momentum by successfully headlining the Tokyo Dome for the first time.
Just before that, in November 1995, they released their sixth single—an aggressive number that topped the Oricon charts despite having no tie-in.
Originally composed by SUGIZO, the track is defined by its relentless, hard-hitting guitar riff from the intro and an exhilarating sense of speed.
RYUICHI’s lush, expressive vocals are outstanding as he delivers lyrics depicting irrepressible desire and a shadow-tinged passion.
For anyone seeking a rock sound that shakes the soul, this is an irresistible song.
gravityLUNA SEA5rank/position
A ballad-style rock number, notable for its 16-beat rhythm and the beautiful resonance of its arpeggios, drew attention in 2000 as the theme song for the film Another Heaven and the TV Asahi drama Another Heaven: eclipse.
Composed by INORAN with additional lyrics by RYUICHI, the piece is colored throughout by INORAN’s distinctive arpeggio style, known as “INO-peggio.” The delicate arpeggios played with a clean tone leave space between the notes, creating a sense of spatial expansiveness that draws listeners into the world of the song.
This celebrated track, which debuted at No.
1 on the Oricon weekly chart and earned Platinum certification, is recommended for those who want to experience the beauty of arpeggios or relax and immerse themselves in music on a long autumn night.
FOREVER & EVERLUNA SEA6rank/position
A five-member rock band, LUNA SEA, who elevated the musical style known as Visual Kei into something more popular and went on to greatly influence bands that followed.
This track, included on their fifth album “STYLE,” overwhelms with its arrangement that conveys a weighty worldview and its ethereal sound.
Despite exceeding ten minutes in length, its dramatic progression offers a wealth of appeal—so much so that it may still feel insufficient for fully savoring the essence of LUNA SEA’s music.
It’s a hidden gem you should try at least once.
TRUE BLUELUNA SEA7rank/position
Formed in 1989, LUNA SEA is a band that created numerous legends in the 1990s music scene, transcending the so-called visual kei framework.
Although they disbanded in 2000, after regrouping they gained many fans among younger generations as well, and today they are a living legend, earning overwhelming support not only from music fans but also from fellow musicians.
J, LUNA SEA’s bassist, is one of the figures who shattered the stereotypical image of the bassist as “somewhat a subdued position,” and even now in the Reiwa era, there are surely many people who started playing bass because they admire him.
J’s bass playing can either remain firmly supportive as the foundation or move around like a lead instrument.
For beginner bassists, the recommended song is the classic TRUE BLUE.
Composed by J himself, it’s an aggressive, uptempo track characteristic of his style, yet the bass line is largely built on root notes and kept relatively simple.
It’s a great piece to challenge yourself with to get accustomed to fast tempos.
For pick players, it also serves as practice for precise alternate picking, and in the accent hits, be sure to lock in tightly with the drums for a crisp, tight performance.
