"Ran" (「乱」, romanized as "RUN" by the band) is the eighteenth single by Japanese rock band Luna Sea, released on November 13, 2013. [1] It reached number 17 on the Oricon chart and number 24 on Billboard's Japan Hot 100. [2] [3]
"Ran" was written by lead guitarist Sugizo, who stated the melody just "popped" into his head and who believes the song has a "nostalgic 90's melody." [4] It was used as the theme song to the television drama Toshi Densetsu no Onna 2 (都市伝説の女), and is also the band's first single with a Japanese title. [5] The version that appears on the album A Will has a slightly different intro than the single cut.
The B-side "Echo" is one of the few Luna Sea songs originally written by drummer Shinya, whom came up with one of the drum phrases while drunk. [6] Sugizo stated that Inoran helped them flesh it out into a complete song, and that Inoran and himself switched their guitar roles for the track. [4] When writing new material, the band lives together temporarily before going into a studio to record. However, the guitar for "Echo" was actually recorded while living together. [6]
The single was released in three editions; the regular contains just the CD, Limited Edition A is on a high-fidelity SHM-CD and includes a Blu-ray of the title track's music video, Limited Edition B is a standard CD with the same video on a DVD instead. All three have different cover art. [5]
All songs written and composed by Luna Sea.
