During their days with an independent label, Psycho le Cemu's concert tickets were said to be one of the hardest to come by. Nearly 2 years since their major-label debut on Nippon Crown, not much has changed in terms of low ticket availability. The reason surely has nothing to do with the band's lack of concert performances as their typically Japanese, rather workaholic schedule show. But that's as far as it goes when it comes to "typically Japanese" with these highly photogenic (not to mention uber-skinny!) guys.

What sets the "Visual Rock" band apart from the rest of the pack is the way they engineer startling full-body transformations with costumes and makeup; a tradition they have maintained since the five members first came together in 1999. One look at any of their zestful album covers will tell you these guys are truly into the gig; it's not just a for-marketing-purposes act. Their look simply cannot be described as "Gothic" or any one word for that matter. Psycho le Cemu's costume concept has previously been "Past, Present, and Future", but their new theme is anybody's guess, and everybody's expectation. Whatever it may turn out to be, no doubt the fans will lavish it in no time, and the venues will be swarming with fans wearing replica costumes. It doesn't hurt that the costumes can easily be bought from various "Costume Play" web sites and shops either.
Many fans describe them as "beautiful" and once you get over the initial shock (and maybe even disgust in some cases) one is very likely to see their distinctiveness and humor. Their concert performances won't let you down when it comes to playing with humor and irony. They are known for their many interactions with the fans, and Psycho le Cemu has also given Fan Club Members-Only Concerts in Japan.

Their record label, Sweet Child, is shared with other celebrated acts such as Luna Sea, La'cryma Christi, and Pierrot, to name a few. This year, from May to June, they performed abroad for the first time in California and Texas, and gained outstanding reviews and more fans abroad.
