ピエロの回顧録

From Clumsy Media

"ピエロの回顧録" (directly translated as 'Memoirs of a Pierrot') is a single from Japanese pop artist Yuga Akiyama, released on November 30, 2013. It is the first single to be released digitally independent from his come back album The Bokuman Experience (2013) followed by the title track "ミルクセーキ恋人". The song as well as its lyrics is written by Akiyama; based on his early experiences in the industry when he was still a minor, metaphorically referring to himself as a pierrot and performing for the entertainment of others' enjoyment.

On the day of release the single made its debut and peak at #1 across all music charts within one hours. It received explosive attention as it is Akiyama's first release since 2009, his second studio album "YA 2.0". The single sold more than 1,000,000 copies on the first day. With such results the single managed to stay firmly on the top of the chart for consecutive weeks and became the fastest selling single in the second half of the year, and the second fastest in 2013.
