[@Reddie1989]

On drums.... SHINYA! On bass... J! On guitar.... INORAN! On guitar... SUGIZO! On vocal... RYUICHI! THEY ARE... LUNA SEA! Thanks you for making this!

[@sueellen360]

hide from X Japan discovered Luna Sea and signed them to Yoshiki's label (X Japan's drummer). Sugizo, the lead guitarist, has been X Japan's guitar player since their reunion in 2007. Also, Visual Kei isn't a "music genre", more like a scene. VK bands span multiple genres, metal, pop, electronica.

[@SugarCubesMiki]

sp_93 he mean that visual kei bands go from be well vkei to be more like "normal jrock " bands , he always mentions how vkei have so many genres (:

[@sueellen360]

I didn't say exactly "jpop" but a lot of visual kei groups are very poppy. Oficially since 2009 but he has been playing guitar for them since their first reunion concert.

[@sueellen360]

Elizabeth B I'm not a fan of pop either, I was just saying there are poppy bands haha I'm not that aware of current VK either. It's okay, nobody has to know everything :) Yoshiki asked Sugizo to join since X decided to reunite in 2007 but Sugizo just wanted to keep in the background out of respect for hide.

[@hanifj1225]

thank you Hide for told Yoshiki to signed them in into Xtacy Records 😆

[@flightgravity7483]

Sugizo (the lead guitarist) is a HUGE influence on a lot of modern jrock and visual kei artists. In fact, the band in general is a huge influence. Listen to early Dir en grey and you’ll hear tons of Luna Sea in there.

[@fadeaway5839]

Thank you for reacting 💕💕💕 I can't believe u actually reacted 😚 hopefully you can do a part 2

[@ingridcarolinemusic]

YEAHHH!!! I'm so happy you loved them. They are absolutely amazing! So long together and so many different styles...but ALWAYS great and ALWAYS LUNA SEA!

[@springnightss]

According to Sugizo in an interview they disbanded because during the last 2-3 years they didn't get along well. In the 90s they were the 2nd most relevant (best selling?) jrock/visual kei band after x japan. X Japan's Hide discovered them and was best friends with Sugizo and Yoshiki. Yoshiki created his own record label and Luna Sea produced their first album under his label. They called themselves Lunacy but he made them change it into Luna Sea telling them it would be better marketing wise, as it sounded the same in Japanese as Lunacy. So X Japan members are Luna Sea's senpais and Yoshiki asked Sugizo to join X Japan after they reunified in 2007. Coincidentially that's the year Luna Sea reunified too. Visual Kei started with X Japan and other Japanese rock bands from the 80s. X Japan was the most influential one and the one which created the visual kei "genre" per se (other bands also did but they are the most famous from 80s decade along with Buck-Tick) copying their idols like Bowie or Kiss and making it even more extreme. They used to label their CDs and concerts with the motto "psychodelic violence crime of visual shock" lol. Originally all visual kei bands played rock, so visual kei was rock even though not all rock was visual kei. In the 90s some bands played other genres but mostly visual kei is related to jmetal/jrock, I would say.

[@smiliesweettea3352]

Good job jessica👍👍 I love them too. Thanks Jessica and Ryan. I love finding new music to listen too.

[@wsun7413]

Thank you very much for this reaction video! The lead guitarist is a genuine guitar hero who influenced so much rock kids in Japan.

[@Kyubone]

Thank you so much for reacting to LUNA SEA! They're my favorite Jrock band :) Hoping for a part 2 in the near future! ;) To answer some of your questions: LS themselves doesn't call it disbanding but rather a 'curtain fall'; it was more of an indefinite hiatus :) One reason for the hiatus was, according to them, that at the time they felt they'd achieved as much as they could with LS and wanted to grow more as solo artists. Another was, according to Sugizo, that the relationship and communication between them had become strained due to egos. It would indeed be fitting if the fans were called Lunatics but nope, the fandom name is SLAVE! They went on a short world tour in 2010 but haven't had one ever since, I'm hoping they'll have one again some day :)

[@msryuyumimoon8458]

I'm hoping for the world tour, but for the new album this year it's a nationwide tour :'( so sad

[@Kyubone]

MSRyu Yumimoon Yeah I was hoping for one too. Oh well I'm really excited for the new album :)

[@sixthgunsrose3253]

Glad to see you made another band reaction! Next please Deluhi or Kagrra please...

[@byebicycle]

Awesome!! Now you can react to their solo stuff!! J (the bass player) has an amazing rock career that's all about FIRE!! Sugizo (guitar) is also the current guitarist for X Japan! His solo stuff is absolutely incredible!

[@epicdante2709]

You reacted to LUNA SEA - I FOR YOU one of my favourite songs ever, thank you! And I am glad you liked it.

[@6Masumi9]

DEAD END were one of LUNA SEAs big inspirations (at least of their singer, not sure about the rest). They've also been around since the 80's (with like 20 years of hiatus) and have 2 completely different eras, which are both really interesting and nice!

[@poetryonplastic]

Dead End are one of those bands that were never big with VK fans, but hugely influential to almost every VK band.

[@lucase3047]

The hiatus... ahh remember the good times of Ellegarden.

[@airena89]

Luna Sea has so many great songs! Dejavu, In Silence, and Gravity are definitely some of my favorites.

[@goldfishpka]

You should check out their live-concert clip. They're really good in live concert. recommend "Sweetest Coma Again" / " Rosier" / "Mother" /Forever and Ever" and they call their fan "SLAVE"

[@vanyadolly]

Aaah, this made me emotional. I was obsessed with Luna Sea in high school and even went to Japan for their anniversary concert. Don't listen to them as much these days but they're a brilliant band with such a varied pool of music thanks to the talent of all the members. Rosier was the first song I heard byt Moon is my absolute favoruite.

[@juliepeaches]

Hey Ryan the lead guitarist to the right of the vocalist as you look at the screen is Sugizo. He is also lead guitarist for X-Japan, whom you already reacted too.

[@MacRyanMac]

Damn thats amazing!!!

[@juliepeaches]

Their ages are 47/48 around there.

[@Unchainedmaple888]

SUGIZO is a huge influence on alot of visual kei jrock guitarists. He has like 20+ signature guitar models through ESP guitars.

[@juliawatilim1177]

You should do part 2 with songs where Sugizo plays the violin 😁

[@feybemomor6499]

Yeah! My favourite band ever! Glad you like them! Their earlier songs are all masterpieces but their recent ones from the 2013 album A WILL are also crazy good. FYI, there will be a new album released on December this year. Really can't wait for that one! 👍

[@tizianonatale6023]

Luna Sea is really something.. Sugizo plays Violin too in the band, an amazing guitarist and overall musician, he does collaborate with a lot of people (member of X Japan too after hide died). You should listen to the live version of Rosier, the one named "LUNA SEA ROSIER (中日字幕)", absolutely one of their best performance EVER, gives goosebumps like no other.. try it when doing workouts, you'll thank me! Anyway the best thing about them is the interaction with people at their concerts, you shall see the Reboot concert here on youtube, you see genuine people singing all together while they are having the break, or crying at one of their last songs. Sugizo (yeah I'm a big fan of him) is also an anti-war activist and spent many weeks after the Tōhoku tsunami in 2011 helping physically in the disaster being exposed at radiations (anyway Japanese people are well known for being amazing in those situations). So.. a big band formed by amazing people, you'll have fun listening to their albums!

[@daariaaify]

you really need to check out some of Sugizo's solos :) he is a master of guitar and violin. i have a feeling you gonna love it

[@davidclarey4461]

Fun fact: the lead guitarist sugizo is also the guitarist for x Japan.

[@gonzalocabuche2124]

i remember discover jrock long time ago , i love luna sea , glad to see you like it :)

[@WonderStarz]

I love LUNA SEA! ❤️ I discovered them in highschool, my favorite songs are: I for you, Loveless, Storm, and Love song, so perfect for painting 👌 the guitar is godlike!

[@hiromichimori6667]

Thanks for doing a LUNA SEA reaction video. They're probably my favorite Japanese band of all time. Some other songs by them that you'll probably like are: Gravity, Stay, Storm, Desire, Tonight, Wish, Loveless, Anubis, Dejavu, Time is Dead, Shade, Shine, G, Be Awake, and Aurora. You should give them a listen when you get the chance.

[@bara7855]

Sugizo is also a member of X Japan after hide's death. Maybe you could react to some of his collaborations live with Yoshiki. Luna Sea, together with X Japan or Kuroyume, was one of the first ever visual kei bands and they still have very big influence on younger artists.

[@trollingisasport]

Nice seeing you go through the reactions i went through as a teen.

[@msryuyumimoon8458]

Welcom our fanclub "Slaves" ;') After months of suggesting you for Luna Sea finally you get to react to them :'( please listen to Yume no Kanata e ~ Genesis of Mind ~, it's a magnificent Luna Sea's song :'(

[@elyriahayashi7996]

Yay! Glad you reacted to two of my fav Luna Sea songs. Now, Acid Black Cherry please!!!!!! How about starting off with Spell Magic and then go with Black Cherry and 優しい嘘 (Yasashii Uso)? You'll love it. Promise! Also, he could use the encouragement since he's currently suffering from a neck injury and is in a lot of pain. :(

[@galavenera3967]

Luna Sea is a legend and Ryuichi's voice is...agh, amazing, so emotional. Thanks for the video~ Pls react to Arlequin ♥ "Kageboushi", "Puzzle" and "Hakaana"

[@HeeJunMinx2]

my favorite Luna Sea songs are Tonight and End of Sorrow, never get tired of hearing them.

[@jbyoungfr]

Great you discover Luna Sea but do you remember that Sugizo (one of the 2 guitarists of Luna Sea) is also a guitarist in X Japan?

[@rachelraza5786]

If you haven’t heard it yet Deja Vu is my favorite song of theirs. And you should check out Jeanne de arc and acid black cherry next!

[@evegemgem]

It's always so much fun to see you react to new bands! React to hide's solo work (the guitarist from X Japan) or for reacting to Kpop: Shinee

[@nastasye.8340]

Thank you a lot! )) And now you REALLY have react to solo project of SUGIZO, who is a guitarist/violinist of the both LUNA SEA and X JAPAN. And you should to see his violin performance! And powerful guitar!

[@nastasye.8340]

From Sugizo songs I'd recommend definitely "Enola Gay" (from "STAIRWAY..." live) and "Synchronicity". ............ Btw, if you want to hear more nice songs from Luna Sea, please pay attention to "Genesis of Mind", "Providence", "Face to face".. and many other )).

[@alicepetyablackburn1498]

Jessica is also the name of a Dir en grey song from their album "Kissou."

[@Babli02]

I found your channel few days ago and wondered "how come this guy didnt react to Luna Sea yet?" Then I wanted to recommend you Luna Sea on your next vid :D If you would consider part 2 of Luna Sea like you did Gazette, I would recommend songs like Hurt, Time is Dead and Rasen. They all have great live versions. And I second some other commenters in recommending hide. Songs like Tell Me, Rocket Dive and Beauty and Stupid.

[@Kirielartanis]

I’m glad you react to my favorite band! ❤️❤️❤️❤️. But you should listen more awesome songs of them like: Dejavú, Mechanical Dance, JESÚS, Providence, DESIRE, RA-SE-N, IN FUTURE, End of Sorrow, TIme has Come, STORM, Tonight, and more recent like The End of the Dream.

[@weeleetou]

Nice video here, love your stuff! You should keep listening to LUNA SEA though, the songs that you've heard here are just the tip of the iceberg... If you really want to blow your mind try listening to songs like NO PAIN, GRAVITY, FEEL, MECHANICAL DANCE, ETC... Anything is fine, they're out of this world. Also check their solo works, they're all awesome, specially J. Inoran and Sugizo's. Thanks a lot for this video :)

[@msryuyumimoon8458]

Will Alx Genesis of Mind, Slave, Ray, Rain, Jesus, Search for Reason (the holy night - kurofukugentei gig version is national treasure)...

[@I_am_Jordan_K]

If you want more live videos watch the video called LUNA SEA ROSIER Capacity. It gives me chills every time I see it.

[@runpa2259]

please react to [B'z] ！！！ this band is Japan's best selling artists！！！ this band guitarist won the Grammy Award！！！

[@davidolivares1880]

Hey Ryan, I'm a recent subscriber and I enjoy watching your reaction content on Japan's rad music. I'm surprised you still haven't reacted to an awesome band called Deluhi, so I suggest you should listen to them whenever you get the chance. Leda, the guitarist from that band, was/is also playing for Babymetal. Syu, from the band Galneryus, was his guitar teacher (is what I heard around the community) and his band is also out of this world. Here is the songs I want you to check out from Deluhi... Frontier live Blitzkrieg s(K)apegoat live Shade live

[@Megrez-Alberich]

Some Luna Sea songs you may want to check out: -Fate -Blue transparency -Time is dead -Precious -Wish -Déjà vu -Jesus -Believe -Providence -Mechanical dance -Imitation -Claustrophobia -Rain -Slave -Loveless -Face to face -Civilize -In future -Hurt -Forever and ever -1999 -End of sorrow -Storm -Gravity -A Vision -Into the sun -Tonight -The end of the dream -乱 (ran) Basically pretty much everything from Luna Sea (1991) to Style (1996) is really, really good. Things started to go downhill with Shine (1998) and the following albums, IMHO. They're still good, don't get me wrong, but the songwriting feels less inspired, more mainstream, more generic pop/rock with a few occasional gems...

[@Zacspooky]

you should react to the band "nightmare" they did the first opening and end theme for deathnote. Also d'espairsray

[@mirohaverinen2077]

This was great! I for You was the first song of theirs for me too and it had pretty much the same effect. Too bad you didn't get to see SUGIZO (the guitarist) also play violin - - now react to hide!! He's the guitarist of X-Japan whose place SUGIZO took after the reunion - so it only makes sense to react to hide, right? React to hide! hide.

[@SoraKoshinaka]

Luna Sea are the best! They are one of my favourites Japanese rock bands 🖤

[@rukivr52]

Thank u ryaan😍😍 /lunaengrey

[@kendalls2982]

You should react their song "Until The Day I Die" live from Final Act, intro to this song on this live is just amazing.

[@falcondiaries8874]

YES! React to more live videos!

[@akemitnk]

"Kokoro kara kimi wo aishiteru Kimi ni furu hikari wo atsumete agetai subete I for you" "With all my heart, I love you I want to gather all my light, and give you everything I do is for you. I for you." "I for you" is my favorite Luna Sea song, sometimes I cry when I listen.

[@kaitotatsuya]

still waiting for TK from Ling Tosite Sigure 01 - 『abnormalize 』 02 - 『unravel 』 03 - 『Enigmatic Feeling』

[@fatmafathi8859]

Please react to Shiina Ringo! I recommend Honnou, God No Buddah, and Stem. Her music is so diverse and she writes her own music.

[@nadyvina]

I saw in my suggestion that already reacted to my favs bands but I still need you to react to X japan, Sugizo (solo career), Dir En Grey (if you want to listen to some A MA ZING vocal ranges), Yuki Kajiura Ohhh and just listening to Luna Sea I just remember that there was anime called Kaikan Phrase, and there was this band Ausifer (that then turn out like a real band by the performers in the anime) with so many good song with beautiful lyrics and vocal range
