〕 }} ''Shine'' is the sixth album by Japanese rock band Luna Sea, released on July 23, 1998.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = discogs.com )〕 It reached number one on the Oricon chart and is the band's highest selling studio album; selling over 1 million copies and being certified Million by the RIAJ. It was also named "Rock Album of the Year" at the 13th Japan Gold Disc Awards. == Overview == To promote ''Shine'' Luna Sea went on the Shining Brightly tour, which ended with two sold out shows at the Tokyo Dome on December 23 and 24, 1998. The band then performed their first overseas shows in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Shanghai in January 1999. This move garnered press attention and criticism with questions on whether or not it would be successful, as the band's international fanbase was unknown; even one day before the shows, the number of tickets sold was unknown. The Shanghai concert was particularly notable as their music was not licensed for release in mainland China. Two tracks feature additional performers aside from the band; "I for You" features Sugizo's mother playing cello, and "Another" has Mai Yamane performing background vocals. A different version of "Breathe", which includes the addition of strings, was used for the Japanese edition of the soundtrack to the Disney movie ''Mulan''.〔 "Storm" was used as the April 1998 theme song for NHK's music television show ''Pop Jam'', while "I for You" was used as the theme song for the Japanese TV drama ,〔 which also aired overseas in Asia. "Shine" was used in a Toyota commercial, and "Unlikelihood" in a Kirin beverage commercial that starred Ryuichi. ''Shine'' was remastered and re-released by Universal Music Group on December 19, 2007, it came with a DVD of the promotional videos for "Storm", "Shine" and "I for You". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shine (Luna Sea album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
