Love Song (Luna Sea song)

"Love Song" is the fourteenth single by Japanese rock band Luna Sea, released on November 8, 2000. It reached number 4 on the Oricon singles chart.^[1] Although the song is from the Lunacy recording period, it was not included on the album.

It was Luna Sea's last single until they reunited in 2010, and released a digital charty single "Promise" in 2011. The band's first physical single since reunion is "The One -Crash to Create-", released in 2012.

"Love Song" was covered by Kannivalism on 2007's Luna Sea Memorial Cover Album -Re:birth-.^[2]

Composition

Sugizo first wrote the acoustic guitar part and then the song's ending. The vocals came next, then the band arrangement and the guitar solo was the last part created.^[3]

J feels that "Anthem of Light" from Luna Sea's 2013 album A Will is an answer to "Into the Sun". The writer of both stated this as the reason the two tracks have similar rhythms and beats.^[4]
