If there's one visual rock mega-band that could have one day equaled the legendary status of X Japan it would be Luna Sea. Luna Sea is uncompromising hard rock with mystical melody, powerful rhythms and ingenious guitar riffs. As a band who consistently release rock music with power and beauty they're highly revered among Japanese rock fans. Continuously evolving, every album they've released has had distinctively different styles from one another. Each CD is a new experience with its own unique flavor.
Luna Sea is made up of a crew of tremendously skillful musicians. There is no clear leader to the band as all of the members are equally important to the Luna Sea sound.
