When they disbanded in 2000, they left a big mark on the Japanese rock scene. Throughout the mid '90s they used significantly less make-up, and after a one-year break in 1998, came back with a more mainstream alternative rock style and toned down their on-stage attire. Originally called Lunacy, the band changed their name to Luna Sea upon their first album release in 1991.ĭue to their early use of make-up and costumes and their widespread popularity, Luna Sea are considered one of the most successful and influential bands in the visual kei movement.
In 1989 they were joined by lead guitarist and violinist Sugizo, drummer Shinya and vocalist Ryuichi, a lineup that has remained the same. The band was founded in 1986 by bassist J and rhythm guitarist Inoran, when they were in high school.
The discography of the Japanese rock band Luna Sea, consists of 10 studio albums, 3 live albums, 10 compilations (including 3 box sets), 10 instrumental remix albums, 21 singles, and 27 home videos.
