Japan (1991 – present)
Formed in 1991, L’Arc～en～Ciel is one of the most popular rock bands from Japan. The band consists of vocalist hyde, leader and bassist tetsuya, guitarist ken, and drummer yukihiro, who replaced drummer sakura in 1997. From their beginnings in Osaka, Japan, they previously included guitarist hiro and drummer pero. All four members are established composers which adds variety to their catalog of songs. Their music ranges from ballads, to hard rock, to light pop-rock tunes.
Their debut single Blurry Eyes released in 1994 was used as the opening theme for the animated TV show DNA². In late 1996, L’Arc～en～Ciel gained worldwide attention for the first time after the release of their fourth album, True. This album includes the single the Fourth Avenue Cafe, which was used as an ending theme for the popular animated TV show Rurouni Kenshin. However, drummer sakura was arrested for drug possession and consequently all L’Arc～en～Ciel merchandise was removed from store shelves. The release of their single the Fourth Avenue Cafe was canceled and the song was immediately removed from the TV series.
sakura left the band in 1997, and former die in cries drummer yukihiro replaced him for the REINCARNATION tour that year, subsequently serving as a support member for their first single after the incident, 虹 (Niji). Eventually, yukihiro officially joined the band and released the album HEART in 1998.

2011 doesn't seem so far off now XD Hopefully this decade will be even better! 2000-2009 had some really good albums: REAL, SMILE, AWAKE, KISS. Each member focused more on their solo releases so L'Arc could have put out at least 2 or more albums. Hopefully for 2010-2019 they will work together more =/

I like READY STEADY GO. I hope the new series of Fullmetal Alchemist adapt a L'Arc song for opening theme or ending theme. It's just cool to see a song matched with my favorite show. And I think L'Arc songs is now bolder and the new Fullmetal is bolder too (because it's based on the manga).
