PIERROT was one of the oldest bands still around in 2005 in the Japanese rock scene. They started off like any other visual kei band and made their major label debut in September 1998 with the single "CLEAR SKY" (クリア・スカイ). Their final album was DICTATORS CIRCUS -A deformed BUD-, a best album with singles spanning from 10 years of their career. Their final single was "HELLO", an apt title for a band who started their major career with an album called FINALE.

The vocalist, Kirito, embarked on a solo career in 2005, and released his first solo album, titled Hameln, on August 3, 2005. On April 12, 2006 the band announced its disbandment. Kirito, Kohta, and Takeo have since started a new band called Angelo, and they released their first single, aptly titled "REBORN", on November 8. Their debut album, titled REBIRTH OF NEWBORN BABY, was released on April 18, 2007. Other members like Aiji on the other hand, joined LM.C while Jun joined ALvino.
