“I’m so happy to have become part of this cute yet ever-so-slightly sad work.
“Momoiro Typhoon is a cute pop song that captures the essence of Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs, so please enjoy the song together with the series♡”

Tokyo singer and lolita fashion model Luna Haruna finished her premium solo summer concert at SHIBUYA TAKE OFF7 on August 4. The concert title Lupa and Aries no gastronomie was named after her single Lupa to Aries which was released earlier this year in June and is so far only available on streaming services. Haruna performed once in the afternoon and once in the evening with a live band. She performed a total of 28 songs, including some brand new hits.
She launched into her concert with her hit songs Stertear, Kimi Iro Signal, Stella Breeze and Overfly. She then performed her two new fairytale-themed songs Lupa to Aries and Kaiten Mokuba live for the first time. Afterwards, she turned to her fans and said:"I challenged myself to something completely new this time. I want to show you all a side of me you have never seen before."What the fans heard next was an unexpected surprise. She announced that she will be performing at Mt.RAINIER HALL SHIBUYA PLEASURE PLEASURE, Tokyo on November 16. The venue, packed with fans, could not contain their excitement, responding to the glorious news with cheers of joy that echoed throughout the entire room. Her recent release Kaiten Mokuba follows the same fairytale theme as Lupa to Aries. The beautiful harmonies created by the strings pierce through the strong and pressing beat of the song. This gothic fairytale song is appropriately titled Kaiten Mokuba (Carousel) to further emphasise the distorted feeling of being spun around in endless circles. Luna is an artist who represents the lolita scene for lolita fans worldwide. This fairytale video is where her true self comes alive. Her new, mysterious visuals are a fusion of lolita fashion and Alice in Wonderland themes. Luna Haruna Music Video: Kaiten Mokuba The head-spinning music video shows Luna in different lolita fashion outfits. Each outfit explores the depths of a different character from Alice in Wonderland. Watch Luna spin her way through five Alice in Wonderland-themed lolita dresses including the White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter and of course, Alice. Luna will also be singing the theme song for the upcoming anime film Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend Fine, which will premiere on October 26. This isn't the first time Luna has been involved in the Saekano anime series. She performed the theme songs Kimi Iro Signal and Stella Breeze, which were the TV anime's first and second anime openings respectively. The anime film opening will be written by Miku Sawai, who wrote the lyrics for the TV anime's first and second ending theme songs Colourful and Sakura Iro Diary respectively. Miku Sawai and Luna Haruna have become massive sensations in the news for their anime hits. Just what kind of chemical reaction will unfold when these two heroines collaborate on the anime film's opening theme song? Please keep your eyes peeled for future updates. Photos: ©美澄 Information

Next up was Luna Haruna who is set to release her first greatest hits album LUNA JOULE this November. The singer performed six songs including her debut track Sora wa Takaku Kaze wa Utau and her hit number Kimiiro Signal. Last of the solo performances was GARNiDELiA. Vocalist MARiA was backed by fierce dancers as she performed a total of 6 songs including ambiguous and SPEED STAR. After the three artists had completed their sets the crowd believed that was it for the program - but the words "COLLABORATION" appeared on the stage screen with Luna Haruna and Mashiro Ayano stepping on stage once more to perform Overfly. The collaborations didn't end there however, as it was Luna and MARiA's turn to team up, performing a cover of Eir Aoi's INNOCENCE.

Luna Haruna has announced that she will release her first ever greatest hits album LUNA JOULE on November 7, 2018. Her name is a very familiar one to fans of Japanese anime and games. Her career as an anime song singer began in May 2012 when she made her major debut with Sora wa Takaku Kaze wa Utau which was written and composed by Yuki Kajiura and serves as the ending theme song for season two of the anime series Fate/Zero. Since then, she has performed songs for a string of series including Sword Art Online, the Monogatari series, Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend, High School Fleet, Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs and more, including games. To date she has released 3 albums, 2 mini albums and 12 singles. Haruna also works as a model, and has combined her cute looks and solid singing skills to take to the stage. She has performed at Animelo Summer Live six times since her debut six years ago, which is the biggest annual anime music festival in Japan. She has also performed at events around the world close to 30 times.
The word 'joule' in her upcoming greatest hits album refers to a unit of energy and is supposed to encompass the energy of Luna herself. The full album title is also a reference to 'Luna juu' (るな充), a nickname the singer has given her fans. It wouldn't be wrong to call it a personal homage to those who have supported her over her career. The album will be available in three versions: a regular edition that comes with one CD, limited edition that comes with two CDs and a Blu-ray, and limited pressing edition that comes in a box also with two CDs and a Blu-ray. The first press edition of the limited pressing edition contains a t-shirt and photo book. Celebrate six years of Luna Haruna with a compilation of her greatest hits all in one release. ■Information "LUNA JOULE" On Sale: November 7, 2018 Limited Pressing Edition Box (2 CDs + Blu-ray + T-shirt + Photobook + Box Packaging): ¥8,000 (Tax Included) First Press Limited Edition (2CDs + Blu-ray): ¥5,000 (Tax Included) Regular Edition (CD-Only) (First Press Packaging Available): ¥3,000 (Tax Included) Luna Haruna LIVE 2018 “LUNAtic Typhoon” Venue: Shinagawa Intercity Hall Date: October 7, 2018 Time: Open 17:00 / Start 18:00 Luna Haruna Official Website: http://www.harunaluna.jp -
