At a time when most bands in the post-Group Sounds boom were gravitating toward British rock, Hiroshi Segawa stood out as one of the few artists exploring country and southern rock sung in Japanese. "Pierrot" represents a peak in that pursuit, backed by an all-star lineup from Japan’s New Rock movement: Hideki Ishima and Jun Kozuki from Flower Travellin’ Band, Tetsu Uchiyama and Hiromi Harada from Samurai, and Katsuo Ohno from PYG.
This reissue includes the bonus track "Kimi ga Ita Shiroi Heya," a single originally released the year after "Pierrot," now featured alongside the original album and newly remastered.
