luna sea | ra-se-n (live 2007)

This is my favorite Luna Sea song. 

It’s from Style, my favorite Luna Sea album.

Shine sucks, okay?

What would this band do without stock video of clouds?

SUGIZO x CodaBow

Introducing the new signature SUGIZO violin bow, Ysaye (pronounced ee-zai), made in collaboration with the carbon fiber bow maker CodaBow. His logo, along with the flower of life symbol, is inlaid on the frog. It will officially go on sale on March 14th for 157500 yen, which is twice the price of his electric violin model =( While this will be on my wish list, I’ll be waiting for SUGIZO to release something more affordable, like a line of signature rosin.

Sugizo’s guitar picks — “STOP WARS: May the Peace with you” (Be motherfucker, Be with you!)

Collecting picks is a nice way to own something physical by a favorite band that doesn’t break the bank or take up a lot of space.

Sugizo’s & J’s new signature instruments…

Sugizo does Free The Tone

Sugizo’s fondness for all things ‘Spiritual’ has been quite prominent in his music for the past several years with some intimations of his current work going as far back as his Truth? era in the late 90’s.  It really wasn’t until his Dear LIFE single in late 2002 where he took these themes to another level igniting a trend that is still felt to this day. As such it is not surprising that he would be promoting the holistic approach to (music) system design company Free the Tone with this recent ad where he gives us his classic Sugizo posture.
