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.

The song Z-MAN by LM.C is about standing up to the challenges and obstacles that life may throw at you. The lyrics talk about the singer being surrounded by people who are trying to bring them down, but they are determined to overcome these hurdles and help others in the process. The chorus encourages the listener to have faith in themselves and to believe that they can become stronger by recognizing their own power.
The first verse shows the singer being targeted by others who are trying to bring them down, but they reassure the listener that they will help them. The second verse talks about the importance of protecting one's own happiness and how others can sometimes hinder achieving that goal. The bridge encourages the listener to believe in themselves and to never give up, as the dawn always comes after the darkest hour.
