Luna Sea was one of the biggest ever “visual kei” bands, active between 1989 and 2000. The band first formed in May 1989 as Lunacy but changed their name to Luna Sea in November 1990. The band played in and around Tokyo and built up a substantial following. Their debut album Luna Sea was released in April 1991 on Extasy Records, an indie label owned by X band leader Yoshiki, who ... produced the album. The band tour nationally almost non-stop and by year’s end were playing halls rather than clubs. In 1992 they released their major label debut Image on MCA Victor, and the album reached the Oricon top 10.
