As the guitarist rock band LUNA SEA, SUGIZO helped create a Japanese music movement called 'Visual Kei'; this sub-genre has shaped a distinctive sound, fashion, and lifestyle for Japanese rock which enabled Japan's pop-culture and modern music to enlarge a fan following around the world. LUNA SEA's music has been featured for many of Japan's popular animation and television programs such as "Onmyou Taisenki" (The Chronicles of the Great Yin-Yang War) and "Kamisama Mou Sukoshi Dake" (God, Please Give Me More Time). Their chart topping singles such as "Rosier" and "Tonight" has sold millions of albums worldwide and filled concert stadiums throughout Asia. LUNA SEA is highly acclaimed and regarded as one of Japan's most successful and influential bands in modern music.

SUGIZO is performing with European group JUNO REACTOR on a US tour in support of their album "Gods and Monsters".
