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".

思いどおりだこの世の中は
面白いほど弱虫で
被害者ヅラがやりやすいのさ
期待どおりに暴れて
欲しいんだろ...
「GOD BLESS...」
毒にはそう毒が必要
力だけが全てだ

独裁者を血祭りにしろ
邪魔者は排除しろ
正義の名のもとにホラ
悲劇をまた造りだす
命の重さは決して同じじゃないよ
両手には薔薇の花を
両脇にはピストルを
両足には鉄の鎖をひきずって
生きていこう

筋書きはもう完璧だ
後にはもう引けないよ
世界が火の海になろうと
後にはもう引けないよ
神の御名のもとにホラ
死体の山が積みあがる
君を守る為ならば安いものだよ
両手には薔薇の花を
両脇にはピストルを
両足には鉄の鎖をひきずって
生きていこう

思いどおりだこの世の中は
薔薇色の自由を君に

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Pierrot's song GOD BLESS xmexxxx talk about the twisted nature of human beings and society's tendency to empower the weaklings and oppress the victims. The singer states that the world is as he had expected it to be, with people easily playing the victim card and getting away with it. He laments the fact that people desire chaos and violence, and use power as the only means to control their surroundings. The singer is advocating for dictatorship and the need for violence against anyone deemed a hindrance, all under the umbrella of justice.

The chorus "GOD BLESS..." highlights how people often turn to God to justify their actions as righteous and moral despite it not being morally sound. The repeated phrase emphasizes the actions of people who are willing to impose their beliefs and desires onto others, even if it requires sacrificing the latter. In the next verse, the singer mentions that it is no longer possible to back down as the plan is perfect. He further emphasizes his disregard for human life by calling them a mountain of corpses created under the banner of justice. The song ends with the singer stating that he is ready to live his life, dragging the chains of iron behind him.
