Luna Sea

[Mr. Just-A-Guy]

For those looking for a great J-ROCK/Visual Kei band I recommend LUNA SEA.
Unfortunally the band doesnｴt exist anymore, but I think their talent should be spread to every J-Rock fan.

I highly recommend non-fans to listen to END OF SORROW, their best song in my opinion, my favorite. Also try to listen the full album STYLE.

So, for people who alreadt know them: whatｴs your favorite song from amazing LUNA SEA??

[Winter]

Since this thread doesnt have anything to do with Dir en Grey, Hyde, Gackt, or Miyavi, dont expect too many people here to care.

I, on the other hand, LOVE Luna Sea. Roiser is one of my faves. Tonight is a great one also.

[Illaparatzo-sama]

I didn't like Luna Sea too much. :|

In fact... I think the only LS song I did like was Sandy Time; Ryuuichi's voice was so nasal it was kind of difficult to enjoy.

I ~do~ like Sugizo's works though <3

Lydia
(though thinking about it, I may have liked a whole album of their music, but it wasn't memorable enough to me so I've pretty much forgotten everything but Sandy Time and Fate.)

[Twisted]

Luna Sea was certainly one of the best bands of the nineties.
Can't really choose which song i like best, but "Storm" has always been one of my favorites... But then again, so is "Mother", "Rosier" and "In Silence".... and "Gravity" and "Sandy Time" (especially the live version) and "Shade" and .... *fades off into the distance*

So yeah, shame they broke up. Ryuichi's solowork sucks. Sugizo and J do great work though.

[MHtrStevie]

Luna Sea was one of the first bands I listened to when getting into the J-Music scene, so they hold a special significance for me... they were also featured on the first NHK Kohaku Utagassen concert I saw on videotape (1998), which was quite hilarious watching some middle-aged "enka" singers walk out dressed up like Luna Sea to try and throw them off.

Because of that, "I for You" (the song they performed in 1998) always stands out for me... and like other people, "Rosier" is also one of my favorites. For some reason I also like the B-side of the "Storm" single, "Kono sekai no atede" (IIRC).

[Shidenkai]

I love Luna Sea "Lunacy"!

[Ruri-Ruri]

I could hardly believe it when I saw a thread about Luna Sea, hardly anyone here seems to like them. I really love this band, but I only got into their music after they broke up unfortunately so I'll never be able to experience one of their lives, though if I did I'd probably be crushed by rabid fangirlies. It's hard to say which song is my favourite cos they're all great, but for now I'll say Genesis of Mind, Face To Face, Time is Dead, Gravity and No Pain. For the love of good music, don't let this thread be lost among the all the pretty boy worship and 'what does he look like without make-up' threads, PLEASE.

[Illaparatzo-sama]

You can always go to one of the 'film lives' that goes on every year. =)

[goggles]

I'm very saddened that they had to part. Their music was changin', moving away from that edgy rock they managed to maintain for so long; their music bacame more melodious and i really liked them (I like their old works too). Best song? Hmm that's a tough one.

[Anchyyy]

Hehe... I just started to like Luna Sea and i need some song recomendations :p
Currently i like Tonight, Until the day i die and I for you:D

[Horizon]

Well, I don't have much of theirs either, but I do have the PV for "In Silence" which is truly and utterly a great song (in my opinion anyway...), so "In Silence" would be my recommendation. In fact, I could even upload the PV for you!

Although I've also got 6 other songs of theirs, if you wish to have them as well. :relief:

[Anchyyy]

[Anchyyy]

Alright then! I'll upload them right now! :-)

[Sinfull]

:smoke: My gig is tonight. Gonna do my best. Got a friend to bring my cam and take pics.

[Sinfull]

Btw, horizon..

[pinkkillerkisou]

I have to find my cds though... I bet there on my floor. *too lazy to search*

[Anchyyy]

I have two albums

Lucky you...

[pinkkillerkisou]

I was going to upload them... if I could find the damn things. *starts searching then gets lazy*

[Precious4e]

aH the Luna Sea thread is so dead. When the X-Japan thread was revived somewhat I felt I needed to bring back the Luna Sea thread also, even if it's just for a while.

Anyways Luna Sea was the first JRock band I listened to. I love them. Gravity is my favorite song. Just yesterday I went to a little hole-in-the wall asian music store and found a copy of their Gravity single. I bought it right away and now i'm playing it non-stop in my room.

Luna Sea is such a big part of JRock history so come and discuss people!!

[Anchyyy]

Luna Sea are awesome. My fav song is tonight :p Btw has anyone seen the preformance they had with X Japan? It's really nice :-)

[boobiebutt]

Luna Sea - Claustrophobia
Luna Sea - Fallout
07 - IN FUTURE
Luna sea - 4-00am

those r my favorites

[daki]

wow, a less than half page luna sea thread -.-
Luna Sea might not be the best technique/skills wise, but the way they master their instrument is just awesome, sugizo's effect setting skills is god and shinya provides solid backbone to songs by being simple.
and i just love the night time atmosphere they create with their songs, and they got a sense of speed in it too, great for night driving on highway.

[boobiebutt]

iv never listened to luna sea much driving.....i did for a short period of time actually.....but i didnt like it too much driving....it didnt fit my driving style i guess? this is a weird topic... :\

[Twisted]

and i just love the night time atmosphere they create with their songs, and they got a sense of speed in it too, great for night driving on highway.

Haha, exactly. Halfnumb behind the wheel. Wide empty roads, dark asphalt halflit by streetlights. Taillights in the distance, Sugizo's incredibly delayed violins on the stereo. Driving is always the best way to experience music, but Luna Sea's music is made for it. :cool:

[Precious4e]

Hahah I guess I will have to try some Luna Sea while driving then. The way up to my college is almost 3 hours of pure highway.

And Anchyyy: I haven't seen that performance. Where can you find it?

[daki]

Haha, exactly. Halfnumb behind the wheel. Wide empty roads, dark asphalt halflit by streetlights. Taillights in the distance, Sugizo's incredibly delayed violins on the stereo. Driving is always the best way to experience music, but Luna Sea's music is made for it. :cool:
blow up your speakers with songs like rosier, tonight, end of sorrow, loveless, precious, believe, and etc and i bet u'll have a different say about night driving :-) the blasting drums and incredible guitar works by the boys will blow your nerves away lol :wave:

[daki]

Luna Sea are awesome. My fav song is tonight :p Btw has anyone seen the preformance they had with X Japan? It's really nice :-)
u're talking about extacsy summit 91 (92?) right. there's a video with them playing X together with shinya on drums, and a bunch of guys on guitars like pata, hide, tokyo yankees and etc, including yoshiki who tried his best :blush:

[Precious4e]

gah right now i'm watching an old JDrama called Kamisama Mou Sukoshi Dake (God Please Give Me More Time). The theme for the series is I For You! Makes me so darn happy and sad when it comes on. I love this series just for having that song in it.

[boobiebutt]

shinya|pata|hide and all them played together before?!?!? is there a video of it T_T

[daki]

shinya|pata|hide and all them played together before?!?!? is there a video of it T_T
it's online in a lot of places. maybe try youtube and stuff with keywords like Extacsay 92/muteki 92/etc. or just buy the offiicial extascy susmmit 92 video :bluush:

[boobiebutt]

T_T *broke over all the concerts this summer+new camera to persue my new career before the concerts start* but ill try...(like i cant even afford degs us release of wtd :( ) T_T

[Anchyyy]

I found the video in youtube! :confetti: It's has really bad quality :okashii: but it's funny to watch it! :D

[Precious4e]

^ man they had such very big hair. hehehe. Still good though.

I really want to get one of Luna Sea's albums now. Not sure which to get. Probably Never Sold Out or Lunacy. What do you guys think?

[boobiebutt]

[Precious4e]

Yea I was thinking about getting Lunacy because it has a couple of songs that I really like. But I wanted to get some albums with songs I haven't heard before. I guess i'll try out Period too hehehe. When I get more money I'll buy more!

[Anchyyy]

aww yay thank u anchyyy <3 *watches video*

Np! :cool:

[SaKeVi]

Damn, Luna Sea, just amazing... my favorite song? Loveless, it means a lot to me.

It is good to see that nobody has posted "sugizo is so cute, wiii" here.

[Precious4e]

^ Hahaha well he IS cute and so is J and Inoran but don't worry i'm not going to start fangirling hehehehe. And nobody posted pics of Luna Sea in this thread!!

Edit: Decided to post at least one pic of Luna Sea. Couldn't help myself. :relief:

http://jbiel.tabulas.com/precious4e/lswp3.jpg

[DmJapan]

Well Luna Sea was my first j-rock band so it has a special place in my heart....Also Shine was the first cd i bought from Japan.

[Precious4e]

^ same here (about Luna Sea being my first JRock band)
I only have their Gravity single though. It's my favorite song. I want to get their albums but somehow i'm always short on money hehehe...

[sombre]

Does anybody has I For You guitar tabs?? I really like this song!!

[MYV_ANCafe_Lover]

ive only heard some songs but i cant remember their name. This band is Bou from Antic Cafe's favorite band though ^^

They're okay but not my favorite.

[Rizu]

I'll add some more Luna Sea love...:-)

Luna Sea is definitely one of my favorite bands. I have all of their albums, and they are always in my rotation of music. It is very difficult for me to choose a favorite song, because I love just about all of their songs. Even their live stuff is really good - and I typically do not like live albums/recordings.

Let's see, songs I recommened. Again very difficult to say as I like them all. But some that come to mind are Time is Dead, Precious, Moon, Wish, Mother, Dejavu, Desire, Love Song, 4:00AM... And the Lunatic Tokyo Live album is really good, great selection of songs. But get as much of their music as you can. My recommendations leave much left out that deserve to be heard.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I had to spread a little more Luna Sea appreciation.

[CharismaticDeath]

After much searching I finally find a Luna Sea topic! ^_^ yays!

Have you guys heard about the runion gig? I'm not sure how behind I am with this news... but heres the website that tells you about it. http://www.lunaseagodblessyou.net/

Click on "origin" and theres a vid.

Shame they are only doing one gig... but maybe we'll get a DVD!

[RevengeBabyYeah]

Yeah I was wondering what that countdown thing was for. Only found out about it today and was like "........what?!" :p

Thanks for posting, I'll check it out now :cool:

[CharismaticDeath]

yeah me too... not sure if it is recent news or I am just very slow on this one. Not many people seem to have mentioned it. So I assume it's pretty recent news.

It's a shame they are only goin to do one gig.

[Kala]

wooooow, reunion, reunion :D :D yeiii~!! late, as usual, but I love luna sea tooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD can't choose a favorite song though... (storm...gravity...tonight.....no! I'll for you...noo... dejavu!...no...it's believe!! yeah...no....aaah, I could be all morning like this... just leave it there=_=u)
I was going to ask about that, cause I read on jame about "luna sea blessed return" or something... XD
anyway....I'm late as usual...so I'll just shut up now!byes^.~

[RevengeBabyYeah]

Lol Kala you sound like you've just hyped on ALOT of caffeine :p

It would be so cool if there was a DVD, I'd feel alot better spending my scarce funds on Luna Sea than on course-books:p

I can't believe there hasn't been a bigger fuss about it. I mean I know it's just one gig but still....

:cool:

[CharismaticDeath]

Luna Sea over course books... Luna Sea would win every time!

Kalap you do sound like you've had a lot of caffine! But tis understandable! If I had to chose a favorite song it would be Storm... definately... I love that song!

RevengeBabyYeah I agree... I'm supprised I was the one to resurrect this topic on here... I thought I was behind with the news!

[Gazerocks]

i read on newspaper abt e reunion too!! wad's sugizo gonna do abt SKIN thn?

[CharismaticDeath]

Well its only one show, so it shouldn't get in the way of SKIN at all... if anything it will draw more publicity to them actually in Japan. Most of their publicity seems to be in the western world recently.

[RevengeBabyYeah]

So what you guys like to see in the concert?
:cool:

[Li-Chen]

hey people....

does anyone know where i can find pics of Sugizo's daughter on the web???

:-):wave:::wave:

[Gazerocks]

I have no idea but his daughter is Luna rite? She should be around 7 now?

[Li-Chen]

thanks any way.... yeah her name is luna......and she's 11 this year... she was born in 1996....

[miseichan]

I've been a member here for a year but this is my 1st post! it's appropriate that it's LUNA SEA tho! They are my favorite band^^

I wish I could go to Tokyo for the live but... I will buy the DVd that's sure to be released!!!
YEAH!!!

Ok...If I was going this is what I would want to hear!

SANDY TIME
GENESIS OF MIND〜夢の彼方へ〜
この世界の果てで
RAY
gravity
4 AM
INTO THE SUN
HURT
ANOTHER
TIME HAS COME

They are all my favorites.
v_v

Actually there are many more I love, but these are my must listen to's^^

Ryu is my fave member although I believe each and every member is extremely talented. His voice is so filled with emotion!!

MOTHER, STYLE AND SHINE are my fave albums but I love Never Sold Out I and II because the sound quality is so good. They really are excellent live artists. For HURT and INTO THE SUN I have the live recording and the studio and prefer the live versions. Also for TIME HAS COME.

Ok
Enough from me for now^^

Good luck to anyone lucky enough to go to the concert!!

[Li-Chen]

welcome to the forum

[CharismaticDeath]

Welcome to the realms of activity!

It is a good topic to first post on!

I want to hear Storm... probably my favorite Luna Sea song!

[Yurga]

Ok....the last post was at Sep 9, 2007 >.>
Nevermind....
I have never heard LUNA SEA songs before
but when i saw X Japan's March concerts and then Hide memorial summit
i noticed Sugizo. Then i decided to know more about him and i found
LUNA SEA. When i found out that LUNA SEA had connections with
X Japan and Hide (if i undertand right, Hide was the one who recommended
to create LUNA SEA~) i have no choice but to donwload LUNA SEA songs~
And i like them~ And i like them old school visaul kei appearance~
Ok, i am done~
Can anyone tell me where i can find Photos of LUNA SEA?
Better from old times~ Please help me~
