LUNA SEA are kicking off 2012 with their first original single in 12 years to be released on March 21. The details remain a surprise but the still untitled single will be available in four different editions and will consist of a single song, over 20 minutes long!

The band’s legions of fans, especially those with an ear for technicalities, will surely have a hard time choosing between the Regular Edition (Normal CD Version), the High-Quality CD Version (stereo) and the 5.1ch surround one (for which a SACD player is required).

There’s a contingency, though. For those devoted fans who have trouble settling on just one, there’s another option: the Special Analog Package Version! This special set will include the three versions plus a clear board with lyrics and a 5.1ch surround version on DVD (not a video clip).
