There are two known bands and a Hungarian singer under the name Pierrot.

1. Use ＰＩＥＲＲＯＴ if you don’t want to share artist page. A / 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 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.

    I think the unicode tag should just be put as a second option for people who don't want/like to share artist page, but not stated as the "correct".. once the japanese Pierrot are clearly predominant here and even their record label and site are affiliated to this page

    First listening to PIERROT when I was in secondary school. I cried (I really did) when they're disbanded, yet I'll always love their music and especially Kirito's voice.
