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.

A psychedelic rock number where end-of-the-century murmurs meld with fleeting beauty.

This track is a rare gem within the band’s catalog, co-written by drummer Shinya and guitarist SUGIZO.

Included on the million-selling album “SHINE,” released in July 1998, it’s no exaggeration to call it a hidden masterpiece.

Over a powerful beat, the guitar sound reverberates as if filling the space, like an earnest cry searching for light amid the great surges of the era.

Rain

LUNA SEA is a band whose true essence shines through in their B-sides and album tracks, and “RAIN,” the coupling track to the single “ROSIER” released in July 1994, is an exceptionally popular song among fans.

It’s a must-listen masterpiece for getting to know the band, having been performed at legendary shows like “LUNATIC TOKYO 1995.” Originally composed by INORAN, its ensemble—anchored by a heavy bass line and drums over a reggae-tinged rhythm, guitars that roam freely from noise to spatial effects, and vocals erupting with piercing emotion—embodies the very core of LUNA SEA.

It’s a rock tune that condenses an explosive impulse, racing straight through from the intro.

In just about three minutes, it packs in LUNA SEA’s razor-sharp groove to the brim.

Based on an original piece by bassist J, the band elevated it into a hard, aggressive sound.

There’s an anecdote that RYUICHI deliberately rasped his voice for the recording, which perfectly syncs with the raw emotion the track carries.

Released as a single in May 2000, it’s a crucial song that leads into the album “LUNACY,” and as the image song for WOWOW EURO2000 (the UEFA European Championship), it amped up the tournament’s excitement.

It’s brimming with instant, driving energy that gives you a push when you want to break through something.

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.

CIVILIZELUNA SEA35rank/position

CIVILIZE

Speaking of the album Mother, it’s a classic that’s often hailed as the band’s greatest masterpiece—and even among its tracks, this one shines with exceptional brilliance.

The sound, said to have been crafted primarily by SUGIZO, draws a perfect symmetry within a brief span of about three and a half minutes.

The transition from the claustrophobic riff to the chorus, where the vista suddenly opens up, is so flawlessly executed that it overwhelms me every time I listen.

As the title suggests, the lyrics carry a scathing message toward civilization and society, prompting deep reflection.

It’s included on the album Mother, released in October 1994, and remains a fan favorite.

If you’re looking for a thrilling, intelligent rock number hidden in the shadow of the big hits, this is one you absolutely need to hear.
