12012 (イチニーゼロイチニ, ichi nī zero ichi ni?) is a Japanese rock band. Formed in 2003 in Osaka Prefecture, the group centers its work around the concept of "madness inside a human" (人間の内面における狂気 ningen no naimen ni okeru kyōki).[1] 12012 is also the penal code for the possession of a dangerous weapon in California.[2] The group sometimes performs as "kyōki shoji" (凶器所持),[3] which is a translation of that offense. They are a visual kei band, and consider their appearance as part of the way they express their music.[4]

In 2007, the band performed the ending theme, Cyclone, to the Gonzo anime TV series, Romeo x Juliet, its single being released by Universal Music Japan on June 13, 2007.[5][6] The group has also toured Japan on many occasions as well as performing at concerts in numerous international locations.[5]

In September 2007, vocalist Miyawaki Wataru was arrested for assault on a woman. After a night of heavy drinking, it was reported he had tried to strangle a female acquaintance. It was resolved out of court, and the charges were later dropped. On October 17, 2007, Wataru posted an apology in his blog.[7]
