Overview
edit"Love Song" was originally written and composed by Sugizo. He 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.[2] Although the song is from the Lunacy recording period, it was not included on the album. The single was released on November 8, 2000, and that same day Luna Sea held an emergency press conference in Hong Kong where they announced they would be disbanding the following month.[3] Its music video was directed by Shūichi Tan.[4] "Love Song" was covered by Kannivalism on 2007's Luna Sea Memorial Cover Album -Re:birth-.[5]
"Into the Sun" is a 16-beat track, originally written and composed by J. He 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.[6]
"Until the Day I Die" was originally composed by Ryuichi. Besides his vocals, the song only includes performances of acoustic guitar by Inoran and violin by Sugizo.
