LUNA SEA – Providence 「God Bless You ～One Night Dejavu～」

Since their formation in 1989, LUNA SEA not only established the foundational style of the so-called ’90s visual kei, but also set one legend after another that other bands couldn’t achieve, continuing to influence those who followed.

Although they declared an end and went on hiatus in 2000, they fully resumed activity in 2010 and have continued to update their legend with an unchanging lineup.

Among their early songs, Providence—composed by SUGIZO and renowned for its striking violin introduction—is a 3/4-time masterpiece that is almost always performed live.

Even just looking at their ability to perfectly integrate a waltz rhythm like this into their own sonic world, you can sense the extraordinary potential that LUNA SEA possesses as a band.

This is a personal note, but it’s no exaggeration to say that LUNA SEA taught me the greatness of songs in triple meter.

LUNA SEA GRACE

This is a song included on LUNA SEA’s 2014 album “A WILL,” expressing the resolve to once again protect someone they once loved but ended up hurting.

It can also be interpreted as a vow from LUNA SEA to their fans, after the band reached its peak popularity and once faced a “finale.”

LUNA SEA – 「SHINE」MV

LUNA SEA is known for their solid musicianship and broad musicality.

Their 10th single, released in June 1998, is an alternative rock track with a refreshingly exhilarating feel.

Its forward-looking message—searching for a light of hope even in the darkness and sprinting toward the future—is powerfully conveyed through expansive, soaring vocals.

The song was featured in a Toyota commercial and became a hit, reaching No.

1 on the Oricon weekly chart.

Its catchy, mood-lifting melody is perfect for a drive or for kicking off a brand-new day in the morning.

The End of the DreamLUNA SEA18rank/position

LUNA SEA – The End of the Dream （Short Ver.）

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.

RA-SE-NLUNA SEA19rank/position

Ra-Se-N

LUNA SEA is a five-piece rock band that continues to perform energetically today, representing the visual-kei bands that dominated the J-POP scene in the 1990s.

“RA-SE-N,” a track from their fifth album STYLE—which drew attention again when its self-cover version was released in 2023—stands out with a rhythm that is immediately recognizable as irregular and an ensemble that conveys a sense of depth.

The arrangement proceeds in 5/4 from the intro, effectively heightening the impact of the big chorus where it returns to 4/4.

It’s a cool rock tune that showcases the full potential of LUNA SEA.

Precious…LUNA SEA20rank/position

Precious…

It’s a song brimming with rough-hewn charm, honed on stage since their indie days and beloved by fans.

The sound—where the decadent beauty of gothic rock fuses with the impulsive energy of punk—can be called the very essence of LUNA SEA’s early drive.

As the title “Taisetsu na…” (“Precious…”) suggests, RYUICHI’s emotive vocals earnestly convey the longing and pain for an irreplaceable presence that has been lost.

The track is included on their debut album “LUNA SEA,” released in April 1991.

Though an indie release, it became a signature song on a landmark record that sold over 30,000 copies in its first pressing.

If you want to step into the dark, multilayered world of ’90s visual kei, why not open that door with this track?

DejavuLUNA SEA21rank/position

Dejavu

A rock number whose razor-sharp guitars and driving rhythm seize the listener in an instant.

This track appears on LUNA SEA’s major-label debut album “IMAGE,” released in May 1992.

Its thrilling world was born from lyrics by RYUICHI and composition by SUGIZO, and when fused with the band’s signature dark, sensual atmosphere, it amplifies a sense of urgent tension.

Trapped in an endless loop of déjà vu, you feel a growing anxiety as your sense of self slips away.

It tightens your chest like wandering a maze with no exit, seeing the same scenery over and over.

This song, which also lent its title to their one-night-only reunion concert in December 2007, truly stands at the core of the band.

It’s a must-listen when you want to experience their sharp-edged early allure.
