Read Full Bio ↴There are two known bands and a Hungarian singer under the name Pierrot.
1.A japanese rock / visual kei band formed in 1994 in Nagano, Japan. Pierrot enjoyed a successful indie career before debuting as a major band with Toshiba EMI in 1998. In 2000, Pierrot left Toshiba EMI and signed up with their current label, Universal Music Japan. Pierrot initially had a different line up in their indie days with KOHTA (Bass), キリト(Kirito) (Guitar), Luka (Drums), 潤 (Jun) (Guitar) and Hidelow (Vocals). However, shortly after recording 気狂いピエロ (Kikurui Piero), the band's first indie album, Luka left and TAKEO (ex-Superstar) replaced him on drums. A couple of months afterwards, an ultimatum from band leader キリト, who had a different vision of the band than Hidelow, delivered along the lines of "Either Hidelow goes or I do" saw the departure of Hidelow. アイジ (Aiji) (ex-KALEN) was also recruited around that time and キリト took over Hidelow's position as vocalist.
Pierrot was considered visual kei in their early days, though they had since became much more mainstream in look and sound. Pierrot is well known for キリト's thought provoking lyrics as well as twisted sound. Some of their songs have had tie-ins with commercials or animes - the most popular tie-ins being ハルカ… (Haruka...), which was used as the ED theme for the anime Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne and 薔薇色の世界 (Barairo no Sekai), which was used as the second OP theme for the anime GetBackers. Some of the band dabbled in solo work with キリト releasing his first solo single in June 2005, and TAKEO in a music unit called G-Brain, contributed a remix to the GHOST IN THE SHELL STAND ALONE COMPLEX -Prototype Sound Package CD soundtrack.
Pierrot officially disbanded in April of 2006 with a message from キリト stating that he felt it was his fault that the band could not continue, and that he had not been a strong enough leader. Their last single was HELLO, which was released after the band's break up on June 21st, 2006.
After the break up, キリト has continued to release music as a solo artist and has also formed a new band, Angelo, with KOHTA and TAKEO. アイジ and 潤 are pursuing their own projects as well. アイジ being in a band called LM.C (Lovely Mocochang) with ex-雅-miyavi- support guitarist Maya on vocals, and 潤 in a new band with Koji (ex-La'cryma Christi) and a vocalist 翔太 (Shouta) named ALvino.
2. A disbanded German rock band, which was mostly active in the 80s, and later regrouped as Hammerschmitt.
3. Pierrot - his real name: Marosi Z. Tamás - is a Hungarian singer, musician and business man. He was born on 3. September 1969. He founded his first band at the age of 17. He put on his special Pierrot-appearance and chose this stage-name then. From 1994 he is a producer as well and founded his own recording company "Private Moon Production".

前触れもなくやって来るもの
洒落にならない
現実に立ち尽くしてるの?
あの時まだ
君でさえ受け止められずにいた
僕が描いたカタストロフィー
見えてきただろう?
「足りない」奴らなんて
見捨ててしまえばそれまでさ
勝手に殺しあって自滅してしまえ
時代の夜が明ける
さあこれからが大切なのさ
そう出番はそこまで来ている
さあ覚悟はすでに出来ているか
そう未来は僕と君たちの
センスで造りあげる
淡く甘い過去の思い出を浮かべ
少しくらい涙こぼしてもいいから
足下まで光は差している
顔を上げて
待ち焦がれていた夜明けだ
あの時まだ
君でさえ受け止められずにいた
僕が叫んだカタストロフィー
解ってきただろう?
もう手遅れなチョッと
「足りない」奴らなんて
相手にするだけ無駄なのさ
勝手に殺しあって自滅してしまえ
歴史は塗り替わる
さあこれからが大切なのさ
そう次の太陽は昇った
さあ覚悟はすでに出来ているか
そう未来は僕と君たちの
センスに期待している
The lyrics to Pierrot's song Daybreak are about awakening or the coming of a new day. The singer talks about the unpredictability of daybreak, and how it can catch one by surprise. The first line, 目覚めはホラ ("The awakening, behold"), sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer mentions that the reality of daybreak can be overwhelming, and they ask if the listener is standing still in the face of it. The lyrics also touch on self-destructive behavior, as the singer encourages the listener to abandon those who are deemed "not enough," and let them destroy each other. In contrast, the singer urges the listener to remember the sweet memories of the past, and to look forward to the future they will create together. The song ultimately ends with a call to action, telling the listener that they must be prepared for what is to come.
Overall, the song is an anthem to the power of perseverance, hope, and unity in the face of adversity. Pierrot's Daybreak reminds the listener that while darkness and uncertainty may be overwhelming, there is always hope for a better future. It encourages the listener to leave behind the negative influences that hold them back and to come together with others to create a better world.
