Cover artwork
Like most of Luna Sea's releases, the artwork to the "Desire" single was designed by Ken Sakaguchi. At the time, he was looking for a new graphic partner to collaborate with, and suddenly remembered Nicci Keller, whose child he previously worked with on a Miho Nakayama project and whose work has an infrared-like coloration. Listening to "Desire" as he drifted to sleep, Sakaguchi dreamt of "A woman... holding a large, old clock that was too big to carry, swaying gently in the womb, her white dress fluttering... smiling." He woke up with a start and immediately drew the image. Unlike the woman he had depicted in the artwork for Luna Sea's album Mother , this one was surrounded by a "gentle, warm happiness". At a studio equipped for underwater photography, Sakaguchi and Keller conducted their first underwater shoot, with a female model who was not great at treading water. Sakaguchi also had the idea of using this visual in the music video for "Desire", so he borrowed an 8 mm camera from director Sōjirō Ōtsubo, put it into a plastic bag and shot film underwater.
