poignant message titled “From LUNA SEA for JAPAN" just days afterward
and followed with the brand new song, “PROMISE.” The band also staged a
massive charity concert at the Saitama Super Area – “LUNA SEA for JAPAN A
Promise to The Brave 2012 In Sendai” – to provide relief and raise
funds for the Japanese Red Cross. This 2-hour concert film captures the
emotion and power of that show.

downtown Los Angeles.
LUNA SEA is a legendary J-rock band that formed in 1989 and the group is considered
one of the most successful and influential of the Visual Kei movement
that swept Japan throughout the 90s. Founded by bassist J and rhythm
guitarist INORAN while still in high school, the band was originally
called Lunacy. In 1989 they recruited vocalist RYUICHI, lead guitarist
SUGIZO, and drummer Shinya, a line-up that has remained constant ever
since. Their storied career and alt rock sound continues to inspire many
of the latest Japanese bands. LUNA SEA enjoyed massive popularity in
Japan throughout the 90s and performed on tours across Asia, Europe, and
also played at the historic Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, CA.
LUNA
SEA evolved its hard/alt rock sound over 7 bestselling albums that
weaved punk and Goth influences as well as string and violin-driven
ballads and softer melodies into their sonic signature. The group
disbanded in 2000, and its members pursued various solo careers, before
reforming in 2010 for a series of special tours and concerts. LUNA SEA
is expected to release a new record, their first in 13 years, later this
year. More information on LUNA SEA is available at the band’s official
web site (Japan) at: http://www.lunasea.jp.
