LUNA SEA WERE ORIGINALLY CALLED LUNACY.
THEIR FIRST FORMATION WAS A
2-PERSON BAND CONSISTING OF J
AND INORAN. IN
1989, THEY AND SUGIZO AND SHINYA
OF THE BAND PINOCCHIO (WHICH
THEN DISBANDED) JOINED FORCES, AND SHORTLY AFTERWARDS RYUICHI
OF THE BAND SLAUGHTER WAS FOUND
AS A SINGER... THEN THEY CHANGED THEIR NAME TO LUNA
SEA, AND NOW, THE SUCCESS STORY
BEGINS...
THEIR SELF-TITLED DEBUT ALBUM
WAS RELEASED IN 1991 ON EXTASY
RECORDS, THE LABEL SET UP BY AND FAMOUS FOR
THE SEMINAL VISUAL ROCK ICONS X
JAPAN. AND
SOON, THEY GOT A MAJOR LABEL CONTRACT WITH MCA
VICTOR! HERE
COMES FAME! THEY RELEASED "IMAGE"
AND "EDEN", AND NOW STUFF GOT
GOING REALLY WELL.
THEY MORE OR LESS WERE BUSY
ALL THE TIME, RELEASING AN ALBUM EVERY 1 1/2 YEAR APPROXIMATELY AND TOURING
A LOT, AND THEY EVEN HAD ENOUGH TIME TO TAKE SOME TIME OFF TO RELEASE SOLO WORKS IN LATE 1997.
BY THEN, AND AFTER THE SPLIT-UP OF X
JAPAN IN AUTUMN 1997, THEY COULD
REALLY BE REFERRED TO AS ONE OF THE, IF NOT THE MOST INFLUENTIAL AND FAMOUS
(VISUAL ROCK, OR JROCK, OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL THEIR MUSIC) BAND
IN JAPAN.
HOWEVER, AFTER THEIR 10TH ANNIVERSARY IN 1999,
THEY SOON FACED SIMILAR INTERNAL DIFFERENCES, REALISING THEY COULDN'T DO BETTER THAN THE "LUNACY"
ALBUM AFTER ITS RELEASE IN MID-2000, AND DECIDED TO "DRAW THE CURTAIN" WITH A LAST SINGLE,
"LOVE SONG",
A FINAL COMPILATION ALBUM AND THEIR FINAL ACT
CONCERTS IN LATE DECEMBER THAT YEAR.
