BLUE TRANSPARENCY: a blue that is as close to transparent as possibleLUNA SEA26rank/position

BLUE TRANSPARENCY: Almost Transparent Blue (ver.2011)

Recorded on their indie-produced first album “LUNA SEA” released in April 1991, this is truly a track that should be called their point of origin.

The urban sense of nihilism—where you can’t trust anyone and even your emotions go numb—is vividly expressed through RYUICHI’s vocals, where cold precision and searing passion intersect.

The razor-sharp guitar riff crafted by INORAN and the driving, hard-edged ensemble are brimming with the brilliance of raw, early impulses, distinct from the grandeur of their major-label era.

It’s a hidden gem overshadowed by their signature songs—one I’d like you to listen to on nights when you’re overcome by an inescapable loneliness.

STAY

A LUNA SEA track whose rock sound is brimming with the unique drive of J’s original composition, paired with a wistful, catchy melody that lingers in the heart.

Featured on the 1993 album “EDEN,” this piece could rightfully be called a hidden gem.

Contrary to its straightforward sound, the lyrics convey an earnest desire to remain within vivid memories.

The album “EDEN” reached a peak of No.

5 on the Oricon Weekly Chart and stayed on the charts for 19 weeks.

The ensemble, packed with hallmarks of the band’s early days, is truly striking.

When you feel the loneliness of something coming to an end, this no-frills sound may be exactly what stays by your side.

It’s a grand and beautiful ballad that feels like finding the light deep within your heart with each deep breath.

Within the crystal-clear soundscape woven by LUNA SEA, RYUICHI’s soaring vocals gently embrace even wounded, wavering hearts and seem to give you the strength to rise again.

The song is included on the album “SHINE,” released in 1998, which became a million seller.

It was also chosen as the image song for the Japanese release of the Disney film “Mulan,” perfectly overlapping the protagonist’s resolve to forge her own destiny with the song’s message of rebirth from loss.

When you’re feeling lost or anxious, listening to it will surely give you the courage to step into tomorrow.

It’s a masterpiece that stays close on nights when you want to quietly face yourself.
