LM.C
LM.C was founded by Maya, a support guitarist for musician Miyavi in the support band Ishihara Gundan (Ishihara being Miyavi's real last name, Gundan means 'brigade' or 'army' in Japanese) and a guitarist in his own band, The Sinners. While still with Miyavi, Maya and other support members also played live shows as LM.C. Later they were joined by Aiji of Pierrot.
After Maya quit Miyavi's band and Aiji's band Pierrot disbanded, LM.C made their major label debut in October 2006, releasing two singles, "Trailers (Gold)" and "Trailers (Silver)".[2]
As 2007 began, the group came out with a third single, "Oh My Juliet", which was the 2nd ending theme for the Red Garden anime. On March 7, they released their first EP, Glitter Loud Box.
They released their fourth single, "Boys and Girls", in June 2007, featured as the second opening theme for the anime Reborn!
Their fifth single, "Liar Liar/Sentimental Piggy Romance", saw an October 2007 release, while their sixth single, "Bell the Cat", was released in December of the same year.
In 2008, LM.C released "John", in the winter, and "88", another opening theme for the Reborn! anime, in the summer. LM.C then debuted in North America, performing at Anime Expo's "Battle of the Bands" on 3 July 2008, followed by a concert at the Crash Mansion in Los Angeles, California on 5 July.
Also in July, they performed their first hall concert at C.C. Lemon Hall in Shibuya, Japan. Tickets to the show were sold out within two minutes of its release.[3] Closing on July, they were invited to perform at the "Formoz Festival" in Taiwan as a main act for the second consecutive year.[citation needed]
In November, LM.C's first album Super Glitter Loud Box and the second album Gimmical Impact!! were simultaneously released worldwide. These two albums were also available worldwide on main music download stores on the same day.[citation needed]
In March 2010, the band released the album Wonderful Wonderholic.
In October 2010, the band released a new single called "Let Me' Crazy!!" which featured their two new songs: "Let Me' Crazy!!" and "No Fun, No Future". Both songs had a PV released for them.
In July 2011, the band's single "Hoshi no Arika" was featured as the first opening theme for Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan second season.
In October 2011, the band's latest single "The Love Song" will be released as the second opening theme for Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan second season. "The Love Song" will be on the ☆★Best the LM.C☆★2006-2011 SINGLES album on October 12, 2011
[edit] Appearances
On November 16, 2008, the band embarked on their first world tour, the LM.C Tour '08-'09. The tour included stops in South America, Europe, and Asia for a total of 34 shows in twelve countries.
LM.C was scheduled to appear at A-Kon in Dallas, Texas on May 29, 2009 but canceled due to threats of Swine flu. All other overseas tours were canceled by Pony Canyon.
The band's European tour started on April 3, 2010 with a total of twelve shows in eight different countries.[4] In May LM.C appeared at FanimeCon 2010 in San Jose, California, where they performed on May 30 and also held a Q&A panel the day after.[5]
