[Neclord2000]

Yeah, I believe so.

Ive looked everywhere for them :x

[Tidusauron12]

Results will be revealed on Thursday.

[Neclord2000]

It took long enough.

haha

[abunai59]

next thursday?

they were scheduled to release the "first winner"

before they announce that?

[Tidusauron12]

It was rescheduled because the deadline for video submissions was pushed back one week.

Therefore, everything else was pushed back by one week.

[abunai59]

some of those videos, mainly the ones at the top have been on before the contest, meaning that the views they got previous to that don't count

I don't know how exactly they find that information, but that's what they said

i wonder how many they accumulated through the contest though =/

[keroro04]

>Tidusauron12

"the pillows HP" means "the pillows website".

HP = Home Page

Many Japanese call a website a homepage.

[ruikarikun]

>>>◎The first winner will be announced at 6:00PM on Aug. 21. 2009

>>>※We will choose 20 videos basing on the play times on Youtube.

>>>And those videos will be announced on the pillows HP.

Sorry, but what is "the pillows HP"?

[Tidusauron12]

I'm guessing they mean their website...?

[fpoik]

こんなに楽しい企画を用意してくださって

[ccsakura9999]

thePillowsだいすき～

[Raid07]

AWESOME, Now I'll be able to upload my entry thanks to the extended period.

[TheNeonPrince]

Extended period?

[CharmFaceMusic]

So, one day left for the contest. We are sad! Its been an incredibly fun time, thank you to everyone who contributed, who watched our vid, and who helped celebrate this awesome band named The Pillows and their history. Good luck to all in the contest from here on out, and we look forward to hearing from you down the line! Take care, God Bless :)

[Tidusauron12]

Dood, stop being cheeky. XD

Also, deadline's been extended one week!

[ruikarikun]

>>># 2009 August 16th at 6:00PM---Announcing the short-listed groups

>>> Based on the played numbers, we will choose 20 groups and announce them at the pillows official website.

Are you sure it's a good idea to choose songs depending on played numbers?

It's very easy to see now that played number of first uploaded songs is much higher than recent tracks.

[abunai59]

at least the contest is moving along smoothly

i'm just happy to have gotten our video submitted, the way we procrastinate, we would've ended up not doing one if i didn't force everyone to show up D:

[abunai59]

100 entries, yay!!

[loveamongruins]

Just wanted to say THANK YOU (ARIGATO) to all our FANS FRIENDS AND FAMILY who spreading the word and playing our video. ALso thanks to allour new MYSPACE friends!!!

This has been a fun contest so far and I'm enjoying all the differnt PILLOWS covers! Good Luck everyone!

[bakasmash]

so.. nothing after august 1st..?

[abunai59]

i guess so...

[letitv]

so when is it gonna be over?

[abunai59]

Aug. 16th

[jghodnette]

No new videos after the 1st I believe it said.

[abunai59]

yeah, it is the 1st

but they choose the winners on the 16th

[tjwx5]

Pillows your the best band ever! Keep playing forever.

Hope you will enjoy my cover:)

[loveamongruins]

Happy 20th Anniversay !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope you dig our video!! - Love Among Ruins

[yoidon]

I uploaded the first track of our first live, i hope you enjoy them (:

[dokuhaku2323]

I am predicting now... put it down on paper... I predict that I will not win, even if I enter. That is my prediction.

[Elyacy916]

WHOA! Nevermind. Haha

[Elyacy916]

How long does it take for your video to upload and show up on the list?



I uploaded mine with the movie tool and I don't see it....???

[Elyacy916]

Me and my friend are almost done with our entry, we just need to make a video for it and it'll be up here in no time.

I hope it will do good. Good luck to all others, I hope to see many of you at Budokan!!!

[smartboyee2]

Man, I hope I can at lest stand a chance! ;)

[Elleguardian]

This competition is darn thick ain't it!? lol

[Ureshii2]

Hey, I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has left supportive comments on our video! We've chosen not to comment on our own cover because we don't want to throw off the final judgment, but needless to say we're honored to know that some people have viewed our work! Good luck to everyone in the contest!

[abunai59]

I don't think your own comments will affect the final judgement. YouTube probably has something that lets only other peoples' comments affect your result.

[Marekenshin]

I didn't like every aspect of your guys's style, but I definitely consider your vid to be one of the best ones. Good luck to you guys, hope to see you at Budokan. :)

[Tidusauron12]

I think in a few weeks, we're going to see the best covers come onto youtube. And then, it's going to become a matter of "What the pillows like the most?" The top twenty is looking more and more clear to me (to all of us, I'd wager). The top five... that's a little bit harder to predict.

[Neclord2000]

I Have to go find my camcorder!

Ah!

I'll get my video up soonnnnnn guys....

[ThankYouMyTwilight]

SHITSHITSHIT. Gotta go record NAO.

[jghodnette]

Ha I look forward to watching it, man. :)

[Tidusauron12]

No need to rush guys. You've got a month and a half. Take your time.

[ThankYouMyTwilight]

Dude, its based on viewcount.

[Tidusauron12]

You're right! That's lame...

[abunai59]

I don't like how it's based on view count.

What if someone with a billion subscribers uploaded a video?...

[tjwx5]

True, thats why we should watch every video and not whore it out. Some peoples videos are growing faster than they should. Alot of the good entries are not even close to the top 20, but the pillows can't watch them all.

[abunai59]

This is a pretty big problem. I don't think there's really a good solution. I do agree though that there are really awesome ones that need more credit.

Strange way to judge though, as long as you have a large fan-base, you have a good chance of winning.

[jghodnette]

Yeah it's not the fairest system, but the better videos are getting more views, generally.

[akasaart]

i doubt there is any pillows fan with a band who has even 1,000 subs here

but the view count is a bad method

this is another example of a tradition media corporation(Avex) failing to understand the internet

[abunai59]

lol

[tjwx5]

Not really, it is just that people can cheat with view count very easily, that is the problem. the pillows are an extremely busy band, they tour almost non-stop, they have a new single coming out, probably a new album also. I don't think they could occupy themselves with watching 90 videos. 20 finalist picked by view count, then the pillows choose the final 5. Thats fair to them and us.

[tjwx5]

The pillows are a wonderful band to have a contest like this. And avex track has been a real good label for them, they have become more famous since the switch. And avex does alot more for their fans than king did.

PILLOWS FOREVER!!!!!

[zeze40video]

All Japanese bands sound exactly alike.

[agenthal]

So... I can't sing.. can I lipsynch?

[Tidusauron12]

I think... you're out of luck. XD

[agenthal]

Haha, it's good, I have a friend who can sing! Is there any place I can get instrumental/karaoke tracks of their songs though?

[siropopy]

OK!

[Metal2Hedgehog]

Metal2hedgehog will win. I want to be there, it's like a dream, i cannot sleep!

[abunai59]

T~T it is, it's so awesome and i'm so excited!!

[abunai59]

がんばってね！

[Neclord2000]

Wtf?

You show up everywhere.

[Raid07]

I love you, man

[21marc88]

[JuliaNaomi96]

[inorganichaze]

pillowsには売れて欲しい

良い曲いっぱいあるし

[kentahe]

はじめてみた・・・

[PheasantLV]

Excuse me for the question, we can choose a song whatever we want, of the pillows songs? ;D

[SageOfQRtet]

It's said on their official site "the movie that you cover any of the pillows tracks". So yes, whatever pillows song you want.

[PheasantLV]

thnx =)

[Elyacy916]

Movie tool? Are they talking about the video response function?

[SageOfQRtet]

Definitly it should be video response function. Maybe "movie tool" is just a jap-eng translation mistake.

[RoninKensin]

интересно, а кто нибудь из наших будет слать видео?

[SageOfQRtet]

Наверняка) У нас довольно много кавер-групп на the pillows, кто-нибудь да пришлет.

[Thundercankles]

what song is that?

[SageOfQRtet]

It's "Funny Bunny"

[Gibtesnocheinennamen]

only a question: I know this song from Ellegarden. Did both bands, the pillow (I don´t know them) and Ellegarden cover them from someone else?

Or did one of the band write the original song?

[SageOfQRtet]

The Pillows wrote the original Funny Bunny. Ellegarden covered the song for the Synchronized Rockers album.

[Gibtesnocheinennamen]

Thanks for the fast reply ^^

nice to know ^^

[SageOfQRtet]

You are welcome ^_^

[ThankYouMyTwilight]

I'll enter, I'll see you at the Budoukan!

[Jomei]

Why is Chatmonchy one of the tags? ww

[Tidusauron12]

You've got my attention!
