I forgot how great this stripped down style of music from the late 90's was. Its ripe for a comeback.... Just got introduced to these guys today and yet they still make me nostalgic.
@grail68 It's difficult to believe I'm not being trolled, however I'll go ahead and inform anyone who might be ignorant.
FLCL is a very popular Japanese animation, or Anime, somewhat like Scooby Doo in the West (bad reference). The series' soundtrack was music from this band. That's it.
@superearthbender Nope not a troll, someone else answered my question too actually... well now I know haha. Great band, great song. Not really a fan of anime but FLCL must have had a killer soundtrack :)
I just wanna say, I dunno if they planned this, but I noticed this video paid homage to Joy Division's Ian Curtis' mannerisms, as Hybrid Rainbow paid homage to the Beatle's music videos. I just thought that it was a clever touch, if they intended it or not. :)
just because the beatles where the first to bring real rock to the world doesnt mean theyre the best, it just means they paved the way for the best. i have a lot of respect for them but i cant say they are my favorite
it comes to show you that,looks doesnt matter nor the clothing,nor the band name.If you Rock out and play interesting Songs and Fucking be Badass.then its All good.People need to understand that
They said they're "INFLUENCED" by the beatles.. they don't have to sound just like them. They're whole music style is influenced by them and probably by a lot of other bands too which gives you a whole new sound. Beatles were good but the pillows are good too. They're a different sound yet you can hear the beatles influence in the songs. But overall remember the key word: Influenced. Also the Pillows have stated this so theres no reason to debate it.
@deepgrudge really i was aware that the beatles sung in english... the beatles are the beatles and the pillows are the pillows quit comparing them it's not the same
I know, but I guess there's a trick to it; they've put music to it that gives you a feeling of determination, and determination in the face of despair is hope.
I guess it's like a lot of songs, the music doesn't match the lyrics, and that's probably because the lyrics aren't always what the song's really about.
Ah yeah and I barely forgot ! On my birthdays, I'm going mad and singing as loud as possible the part "Kyô wa atarashii boku no tanjôbi nanda" on 2:20
Just start singing and try and get as close to the real words as possible. You may sound stupid in other people's ears if they know the lyrics, but sometimes you can surprisingly be right.
My favorite right now is "the perfect girl..." its insanely sweet.... and as cheesy as it is it makes me feel better knowing that it was sent to me by a crush....... ^ . ^....
I love the pillows to death, there is something about their songs, I feel like they are muffled in a way like the noise is compressed too much. But there is something soothing and constricting at the same time. There is a certain freedom to it, but its almost irritating. I guess that why I love them so much. It certainly is very charming, that sound of theirs :)
this will be the gayest comment evor heard from anyone,but i must admit this,that whenever i play WoW,i listen to this and go sight seeing....i admit it!and im PROUD,this song is beutifull and makes freakin EVERYTHING look beutifull for some wierd damn reason,i love the pillows,and please dont hate me for playing WoW XD
theres a few places you can get there albums in america, obviously not from a music store but from an anime store you can pick up a FLCL soundtrack or order them.
st.pete florida we have anime fix and i order there albums :D
but the flcl sound track has a shit ton of huge pillows hits.
I always thought it funny that i enjoy these songs without a clue of what the lyrics mean. They could be demonic (seriously doubt they are but stay with me here) and i wouldn't know it. Crazy huh?
Wow, you yell at someone for making a typo about something they wrote in English... on a video response to a Japanese song... lmao, nice job at... failing. :P
