We needed a pillows thread, so yes. So what's your favorite album? I really like Penalty Life and Happy Bivouac. I've always wanted to listen to Kool Spice though. I hear it's good. The set list for both concerts at ACEN were the same expect for the encores. They did a lot of songs from Penalty Life and some of the songs from FLCL. Sawao gave this mini Engrish speach about how much is timeless and stuff. It was awesome. There are pictures over at afansview.com from the Sat. concert aswell as cosplay from the con. My legs were, like... off the ground.

That's so awesome. I hope you had a good time (of course you did). Although it's not their best, my favorite album is "Little Busters". My favorite song is "Ride on Shooting Star". I can't help it FLCL burned that song into my brain, I can sing it at any possible awkward moment. From what I've seen their videos are a bit weird, haven't found a favorite yet. Good luck finding the "Kool Spice" album. I find a lot of their 90's stuff hard to get.

To be totally honest, I think the pillows' videos suck. They remind me of Kagerou PVs. They're just so blah. Songs are good though. ;D
I've seen Kool Spice in the pillows room on slsk, but I'm just afraid to download it because the people scare me.

Heheh, I think some of the people in the J-rock room are funny once you get into a conversation with them, but the Japanese music room is full of complete idiots most of the time, Jesus. Yeah, it called the pillows in all lower case. Right click Rooms -> Create room -> the pillows, and it will take you there.

Thanks for the info! This summer I'll start using it again.
Haven't heard anything new from The Pillows in awhile. I wonder what's up with them. Their next release (on the 8th) is just going to be another FLCL complilation.

Their next release (on the 8th) is just going to be another FLCL complilation. They just got off tour, so maybe they're taking some time off? Or maybe they're recording now :D? EDIT: I guess it helps to check the site *facedesk* Sawao, Jiro from GLAY, and the straightener's drummer are forming a side band called "The Predators" and will release a mini-album on 2005.7.6 titled "Hunting !!!!" #nosmileys

Do you think FLCL made or broke The Pillows outside Japan?

To be honest, made. I and a lot of people I've spoken with hadn't heard of them before FLCL. I just find the compilations of the same songs to be repetitive.

Album: Little Busters Song: too hard to pick I'm one of those people who didn't know about The Pillows until FLCL. I'm also growing impatient for new original stuff.

Yeah, "Little Busters" was one of my biggest hooks too. It wasn't until after I heard that song I started looking into the band, although I was a "Ride on Shooting Star" addict.

I'm just really odd, I suppose. The song of theirs that hooked me was actually Last Dinosaur... something about the guitar in that one, I think. I couldn't pick a favorite album, but I think my favorite song would probably be 'Wake'. I like just about anything they do, though. Listening to their music always puts me in a really good mood.
