Guitarist Sugizo cited "Storm" as one of the songs he tried to replicate the "psychedelic feel of shoegaze bands" by using effects, "like playing fast with a wah-wah pedal, or using tape-echo and harmonizers. I couldn’t figure out how they did it, so I just made it into my own thing."[4]
All songs written and composed by Luna Sea.
The song was covered by pop singer Nami Tamaki on 2007's Luna Sea Memorial Cover Album -Re:birth-.[5]
It was also covered by Lolita23q on the compilation Crush! -90's V-Rock Best Hit Cover Songs-, which was released on January 26, 2011 and features current visual kei bands covering songs from bands that were important to the '90s visual kei movement.[6]
