Ripples...
+ Learn Some Japanese
PIERROT,,,
Kirito
Real Name: Murata Shinya
Birthplace: Sapporo City, Hokkaido, Japan
Birthday: February 24, 1972
Blood Type: A
Height: 168 cm
Weight: 55 kg
Favorite Color: blue
Instrument: Vocal
Kirito writes most of Pierrot's songs, and all of Pierrot's lyrics. Acts very serious onstage, but backstage is joking, teasing, and positive.
Kohta
Real Name: Murata Kohta
Birthplace: Sapporo City, Hokkaido, Japan
Birthday: June 3, 1975
Blood Type: A
Height: 172 cm
Weight: 57 kg
Favorite Color: silver, black
Instrument: Bass guitar
As Kirito's younger brother (which I find is the cutest thing ^^), Kohta has a good relationship with him and is often seen as the member with the "soft" personality. Apparently a good dancer as well. ^_^
Aiji
Real Name: Mizui Shinji
Birthplace: Nagano, Japan
Birthday: November 17, 1974
Blood Type: A
Height: 175 cm
Weight: 53 kg
Favorite Color: red, purple
Instrument: Guitar
Loves his cell phone, and hates to be alone. Aiji composes close to half of Pierrot's songs, including "CREATIVE MASTER", and "ICACROSS".
Takeo
Real Name: Ishikawa Takeo
Birthplace: Fukushima-ken, Japan
Birthday: July 11, 1972
Blood Type: A
Height: 173 cm
Weight: 58 kg
Favorite Color: blue
Instrument: Drums
Often referred to as the "father figure" of the band, Takeo also seems to act the most serious of them all. He almost always uses synth drums in concerts. Very secretive about his private life. Had a sting ray as a pet when he was a kid (hehe!).
Jun
Real Name: Yamaura Jun'ichi
Birthplace: Nagano, Japan
Birthday: May 4, 1973
Blood Type: O
Height: 170 cm
Weight: 58 kg
Favorite Color: blue, green
Instrument: Guitar
Considered the weakest member of the band, and everyone seems to get along with Jun. A big animal lover!
Official Fan Club : FOLLOWERS
The musical style of PIERROT is usually rippin rock, with occasional ballads.
Kirito and Jun founded PIERROT in 1994, with Kohta, Hidelow (Vocals) and Luka (Drums), joining soon after. Demo tapes were released, "Homme", and "Famme", and following that an album, "Kikurui Pierrot". That didn't last, because in 1995, Hidelow and Luka left the band. Aiji (from the group, Kalen) took over Kirito's place as a guitarist, while Kirito became the vocalist; Takeo (from the group, Superstar) was now the drummer.
Under the label of Toshiba EMI, they released their first single as a re-formed group, "Clear Sky". In 1999, their second major single, "MAD SKY ~Goutetsu no Meshia~", was released. Several singles precede their first major album as PIERROT, "FINALE".
Later, in 2001, they switched back to the label of Mystic Child and released "Paradox".
Their newest releases include 5th and best album, "DICTATORS CIRCUS -Kijutsuteki Senritsu-"
