L’Arc-en-Ciel Doing MSG

One of Japan’s original “visual-kei” rock bands, L’Arc-en-Ciel (French for “rainbow”) will celebrate 20 years in show business with their second-ever world tour, which will include a night at Madison Square Garden in New York March 25.

It will be the first time a Japanese group has headlined the famed arena.

L’Arc-en-Ciel has sold more than 40 million records.

Formed in 1991 in Osaka, the band has gone through a few personnel changes over the years.

The group’s first world tour was in 2004, during which the only U.S. stop was in Baltimore for a crowd of 10,000. They returned from a three-year hiatus last April in order to play two sold-out benefit shows for tsunami relief.

The world tour also includes stops in Hong Kong, Bangkok, Shanghai, Taipei, London and Paris.
