After 20 years, 13 million albums and 16 million singles sold, famed rock group L’Arc~en~Ciel<\/a> is gearing up for a historic performance as the very first Japanese act to headline New York\u00b9s legendary Madison Square Garden.<\/p>\n

Formed in Osaka in 1991, L’Arc~en~Ciel (the name means \u201crainbow\u201d in French) gained acclaim for their glam-influenced stage fashions, frenetic live shows, and punk\/new wave inspired music. The group has achieved legendary status at home and abroad, and its new album BUTTERFLY<\/em> will be released on iTunes in much of the world outside of Japan in March.<\/p>\n

The album also includes the hit song \u201cGood Luck My Way\u201d as featured in the movie \u00a0version of the iconic and highly popular anime full-length feature film, Fullmetal Alchemist: The Star of Milos<\/em>. This band\u00b9s hit single \u201cReady Steady Go\u201d was used in the soundtrack of the original Fullmetal Alchemist<\/em> television series featured on Cartoon Network\u2019s Adult Swim.<\/p>\n

L\u00b9Arc-en-Ciel\u00b9s lead singer and occasional guitarist hyde has called BUTTERFLY<\/em> \u201ca monumental album, it\u2019s great that we can release the album just at the right time.\u201d<\/p>\n
