my top 5 albums from the pillows are: happy bivouac, little busters, runners high, thank you my twilight and trial, but if you'd ask for my favorite songs i'd choose ride on shooting star and i think i can
The only words I know in this song is I think I can. But nonetheless, the guitars make up for what I don't know. Still a sick band and my 2nd fave song from them.
@TheUnitedNatives Most people were introduced to this band through the show...that doesn't mean they aren't fans...just because they didn't hear about them from a friend or find them on their own doesn't change a thing.
@DEATHbyHEMLOCK yeah I love the show...I just wish it was longer :/ when the last episode ended I was like NOOOO! Unfortunately they didn't ever plan on doing more of it because the entire show was just an experiment for how people would respond to a manga being turned into an anime and run in the Americas...of course we already had things like Inuyasha.but this story was pretty underground at the time they started production now not only has its popularity skyrocketed.but so has its fanbase.
@Quick2Snipe100 I got here from the manga beck... stepping w other bands like rage against the machine, audioslave, the pillows, metric, i sure am grateful to the guy that made that manga..
i think 6 is fine that is what made t unique but i' m pretty sure we'd all love for it to continue or put all 6 episodes together you got your'e self a movie ;D
@BytorAndTHEsd [sorry, word limit] Although Suzuki isn't a perminant member, he appears in Tokyo Bambi music video. He's also apparently a little shy when the spotlight comes onto him. You can tell when he was in one of the interviews, and he wasn't talking much. This made him perfect as guest bassist instead of a perminant member so that he wouldn't complain.

I would like to thank Fooly Cooly for making me aware of one of the happiest & most inspiring bands I've ever heard. This song gets me pumped every time I hear it, This is music done right :)
@justmanypeaches lmao that made me laugh. I think he was talking specifically about fooly cooly though. after all, Haruko wields a left-handed Rickenbacker bass guitar model 4001 throughout the show.
@pauliazz94 the pillows bass player left the band years ago. since then theyve used studio bassists for recording and then just credit them on the album but never officially become part of the band. i cant think of a video off the top of my head where they have a bass player, its always just these three

The Pillows pretty much made the soundtrack of FLCL, it's pretty ignorant to tell them that they don't actually like the band when they clearly do.
Some albums are liked by some people, others aren't. I don't really know why you're upset.
