Luna Sea celebrated its 25th anniversary by holding a special concert, "Luna Sea 25th Anniversary Live -The Unfinished Moon-," on May 29 at Yoyogi National Gymnasium.
The date marks exactly 25 years since the rock band first performed in public at a small venue in Machida, Tokyo, called The Play House back in 1989. Tickets for the show at the over 13,000-capacity arena sold-out in minutes when they first went on sale earlier this year. The evening, which featured a mix of classic hits, including "Rosier," "True Blue," "Gravity" and "Storm," as well as songs off of new album, "A Will," proved to be emotional for both the band and its fans.
As the house lights went down, a video chronicling the band's history began to play on large displays behind the stage. Starting with 1989, the years flashed by on screen with pictures corresponding to that era. Upon hitting the year 2000, when the band saw its "curtain call," the pictures stopped and just years flashed across the screen, eliciting a burst of laughter from the audience. At 2007, the year Luna Sea performed a one-off comeback show, the images resurfaced and brought us to the present.
