This episode features L'Arc-en-Ciel, a legendary rock band celebrating their 30th anniversary this year. They perform their latest songs and look back at the last 3 decades. L'Arc-en-Ciel has been a driving force in the Japanese rock scene for 30 years. They have toured all around the world, sold more than 40 million CDs, and attracted a whopping 4.3 million people to their concerts. After their thundering indie debut in 1991, the band dominated the first 2 spots on the singles chart twice, and even dished out 2 new albums at the same time. In 1999, the band's outdoor live tour in Tokyo drew around 250,000 people over 2 days, and in 2004, they started performing overseas. In 2012, they became the first Asian rock band to perform solo at New York's prestigious Madison Square Garden.
