LM.C was founded by Maya in Tokyo,Japan , 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, 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)."[1]
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 & GIRLS" in June 2007, featured as the 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 (Shibuya, Japan); tickets to the show were sold out within two minutes of its release. Closing on July, they were invited to perform at the "FORMOZ festival" in Taiwan as a main act for the second consecutive year.
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, with possibly different release dates for other countries.
On November 16, the band embarked on their first world tour, the “LM.C TOUR ‘08-‘09”. This tour includes stops in South America, Europe, and Asia for a total of 34 shows in 12 countries.
LM.C was scheduled to appear at A-Kon in Texas on May 29, 2009 but canceled due to threats of Swine Flu. In addition all other overseas tours have been canceled by Pony Canyon.

Karendaa no ura ni kakushimotta egoizumu akikan wo ketobashite
Haiiro no uta kuchizusamu hibi
Towazugatari no herikutsu na memories sore ga takai yoru wa kizukeba mina toraberaa
Tadoritsu ta basho wa daremo i nai suteeshon
Furikaette mireba yami ni ukabu furachi na neon no kimagure ga ukiyo banare wo tsutsumikon de
Deai mo wakare mo marude basue no shinema mitai
Suikomarete tsukekomarete itadake dame no ton de fukute
Sukoshi hekon de mata wasurete tsugi no hi nya mou heraherashiteru
Surikomarete oikomarete shira nai uchi ni maigo ni natte

The lyrics to LM.C's song TABOO speak about the monotony of everyday life and the desire to break away from it. The first verse talks about how there is no need for anyone to be a star performer on a boring elevator ride. The second verse describes memories as slippery stories, and how the place you arrive at is not really a station that is unique to anyone. Looking back, it seems like everyone is a neon sign floating in the darkness. The chorus has a slightly melancholic tone to it, describing how even though we all have our own little worlds, they're ultimately meaningless and fleeting.
The second verse talks about how pride in oneself is necessary to keep oneself motivated, but how it can easily be forgotten, leading to feelings of aimlessness. The third verse talks about getting lost in one's own thoughts and how it's easy to lose oneself in the process. The fourth verse describes the process of losing one's sense of self and the confusion that follows. The last part of the song brings everything together, describing how everything is just an illusion and it's easy to get caught up in the meaningless cycles of life.
Overall, the lyrics to TABOO are a commentary on the monotony of life and the desire to break away from it. The song has a sad but somewhat hopeful tone, suggesting that even though everything may be meaningless, there is still value in experiencing it.
