Osaka’s L’arc-en-Ciel becomes first Japanese band to headline Madison Square Garden

Excerpt:

Quote:

They’ve got no major radio play, no prime video exposure and no mainstream media trumpeting their fame and glory.

So how did L’Arc-en-Ciel, a Japanese band with a French name, become the first rock group from the Land of the Rising Sun to headline Madison Square Garden?

On Sunday, the four-man band from Osaka will play the storied 19,000-seat arena, which surprised even the show’s promoter. Three month ago, the company (AEG) booked the group into the smaller Theater in the Garden — capacity: 5,000. But so many tickets were sold, they were bumped up to the big room.

Just about their entire discography is great imo. You really can't go wrong with L'arc although I would say their most recent album Butterfly is one of their weaker efforts. I would suggest starting with something like Smile, Real, or Awake.

I went to NYC yesterday and I thought it was cool to see advertisements for the concert. I saw an ad for it when I was coming out of the Rockefeller Center subway station on the way to Nintendo World, and a billboard near Midtown Comics. I took a picture to show my friend.
