Overview

This single version of "Believe" is slightly different from the one on the album, Eden. The song was originally called "AI", and is a rewritten version of the band's earlier song "Conclusion". Guitarist Inoran is claustrophobic, which inspired him to compose the B-side "Claustrophobia".

The title track was re-recorded for their 2000 compilation album Period -the Best Selection-.[1] Luna Sea played "Believe" jointly with X Japan at the hide memorial summit on May 4, 2008.[2]

Reception

"Believe" reached number 11 on the Oricon Singles Chart, and charted for seven weeks.[3] In 2000, it was certified Gold by the RIAJ for sales over 200,000.[4]
