@XxsmigglyxX "In what way?" is my question as well as "How would you know that something is gay?".

[fight4gipper1]

Is that thing having a really long orgasm???

[Char42]

Is that Walpurgisnacht that flies over them at the end? #madoka

[threeclock]

Radiohead is better.

[justmtz]

感動して言葉を失いました。

[espada323]

Double Rainbow can SUCK IT!!

[d2cuadrados]

as usual no idea what they're sayign but can't stop listening to them

[NuDvide03]

anyone know any other bands like the pillows besides Noodles? i love metal and hip hop but something about this kind of rock, is just more of my thing, thanks :)

[1eveee87]

@NuDvide03 not sure if somebody answered you,but maybe you want to try Bump of Chicken...they covered this song too and they have almost the same style as the Pillows :) hope it helped.

[NuDvide03]

@1eveee87 i have heard of em as a matter of fact, but much obliged :)

[jkillah999]

"Ooooo.....it's a God!!"

Every time i hear this i instantly see Mamimi staring at Kanti.

[DenisFreeman2]

[raath555]

KITTEH :DDDD

[yudaiko0000]

いつきいてもイイ

[40crush]

私は彼らが言っていること知っていた希望 (wish i knew what they are saying)

[MalcolmAlleleLorenz]

so good



[CalisCool]

Just came back from seeing these guys in Austin,TX. Was sick as fuck!

[thesoftsquid]

@CalisCool they played? thats amazing!

[angeltenrih]

I know what the lyrics mean, but every time I hear this song, I like to rewrite the lyrics in my head based on what the music means to me.

[MrSyce86]

Going to see the pillows in concert today in NYC. Hope they play this song!!!

[gguioa]

@MrSyce86 I want to be you. I live in other continent ;_;

If you can, tell them there's a guy in Colombia who loves them!

[okaywhynotxp]

@MrSyce86 I was there too!!!! lol And they sure did xD

[EmpireCrusade]

so cool song!!!



[tazabilly]

I don't need to know what he's saying to know this is a fucking good song!

[Kitsune96792]

Asian Beatles. :D

[catsaretheshit]

I love the nostalgic feelings The Pillows give me. It's a little sad, but when it's over I'm reminded of how beautiful life is.

I dunno. :3

[AmandaDedino14]

The Pillows is the best japanese band EVER.

[blahduhblah1049]

This is more like the radiohead of 20 years ago. Nothing special here.

[Lily8061]

is this song in The latest episode (episode 17) of sket dance?

[BringerOfD]

@Lily8061 you're looking for Funny Bunny

[TwinSanity982]

This is one of many songs that makes me cry. The fledgling emotions heard throughout the song brings out the most in me.

[The9thQuestion]

I wish i had a Vespa

[TAXEXEMPTION]

quite possibly the most underrated band in history.

[dunderdon]

SDLK (Shattered Darlings & Liquid Kisses)

[wiilover55]

Best Japanese band ever.

[iwuvoreos]

Man i love this band i just wish they sang in english. anyone know bands like the pillows that speak english?

[DrOctapu]

@iwuvoreos ...non-Japanese J-rock bands?

[BornAgainBabyJesus]

@iwuvoreos thats not important. the music speaks louder and if youre really something, youll get the emotion without even knowing what hes saying

[davisxmonster]

@iwuvoreos the strokes

[wutdaFU3K]

@iwuvoreos lol Radiohead?

[ShArInGaNaVaNgEr666]

So one question for everyone, Can you feel that Hybrid Rainbow?

[eddysomething]

thumbs u for FOOLY COOLY =D

[DrCrazies101]

hybrid rainbow is my favorite song, I love the lyrics, I memorized both guitar parts, and I also memorized the lyrics. Its a fucking awesome song!!! hybrid rainbow forever!

[thewolfkingskeeper]

Folly Cooly

fooly cooly

fooly cooly

fooly cooly

(^_^) FOOLY COOLY!!!!!!!

[fluffy3744]

I think these guys have an evil teddy bear fettish. i love the song though

[conradlbenz]

@fluffy3744 That's their band mascot.

[ANIMEMANGA014]

One of my favorite songs

[billydai]

i wish people would stop comparing the pillows to western bands. the pillows are the pillows. awesome in their own awesomeness

[MrGuerrero84]

if the beatles radiohead and oasis had an orgy with japan the pillows would be the child of that

[TheKirb90]

I don't know where you guys are getting this Beatles stuff from..this sounds like Metallica with that double bass pedal.

[boethiah12]

@TheKirb90 ಠ_ಠ you best be trollin.

[TheKirb90]

Sounds like Metallica

[alih92]

@TheKirb90

Son, you dun goof'd

[alih92]

What exactly is a Furi Kuri anyways?

[KtLOZR]

@alih92 It's pronounced "Fooly Cooly" at least in America or better known as FLCL. It's an anime.

[Fnstrsfr]

@alih92 it's one of the most awesome animes of all time. nuff said

[JonCallan1]

More like the Asian Pixies.

[Swatdog15]

@JonCallan1 lol true. but you fail.

[MrSalmon88]

whats with the comparisons this isnt the asian radiohead or asian beatles its the pillows a good indie punk band from japan.

[benjam2002]

Can anyone tell me what guitar Sawao is using? what brand perhaps?

[leafninj69]

@benjam2002 i dont know which one Sawao is but the guitars are a fender telecaster and a fender stratocastor

[killerdawgXX]

I can feel that hybrid rainbow.

[TheseBonesLiquify]

I don't know what they're saying, but their music is freakin speaking to my soul. <3

[wolverin0]

Hope i knew Japanase, i'd learn just to understand this guys.

[Xprinny]

LONG LIVE THE PILLOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sarahmajig]

Furi. Kuri.

[LovetteCher]

@Sarahmajig

Furi. Kura?

[Swatdog15]

@LovetteCher furi kuri. fail



[LovetteCher]

@Swatdog15

"Furi Kuri, Furi Kura" is what Haruko chants at some point (waving a wand and doing who knows what). It's also the name of the last episode.

Nice fail, yourself.

[andersource]

Been my favorite song for over 10 years. To this day, whenever I hear Sawao yell "Can you feel" it gives me goosebumps.

[TAXEXEMPTION]

@CloudxChaos69

pillows>beatles.

[CloudxChaos69]

Their The Pillows are our The Beatles..

[furychan]

Great song, great band. The lyrics are so worth reading.

[KazAtsuko]

こりゃ名曲・・・聴いてて落ち着く

[NakiaD1]

Love this song guys! It sounds friggin' awesome!

[Ravenwraithstudios]

I found it on pandora, then I watched FLCL.

[d2cuadrados]

@Ravenwraithstudios what station was it on pandora?

[Superumouyun]

@d2cuadrados The awesome thing about Pandora is that you can create your own stations by looking for certain bands. Then they play a song from that artist, followed by songs from artists similar to that style. I have quite a few on mine.

[7777777Goku]

53 people are haters

[Translator4TheLiving]

Anyone found this song for a reason other than Fooly Cooly?

[EternalSoul175]

@Translator4TheLiving I found this band way before I knew they had anything to do with FLCL's soundtrack (which I had only heard of at that point, not actually watched).

Yeah.

[TheBlackFrog79]

@EternalSoul175 Watch it!!

[Translator4TheLiving]

@EternalSoul175 Same :D



[SomeSillySWFs]

@EternalSoul175 J-hipster.

[EternalSoul175]

@SomeSillySWFs I suppose.

[negative217]

damn boring

[NAA5]

So awesome.

[seandawg03]

flcl brought this band to the states and im so glad for it. the pillows are fantastic and they would be a huge success in america with the current indie trend. also flcl is effin amazing.

[seandawg03]

[utena11221]

I really must thank my friend for getting me to watch FLCL, because If I didn't I would never of ran into such an awesome band!!

[BowxToxMexHumans]

I could listen to this song over and over and over again and never get sick of it. <3

[MarcosEcks]

listen> /watch?v=L4SGgyqrAhw

[XK1RA88]

easily their best work

[dotheevolution100]

@XK1RA88 i like this song but i have to disagree i think ride on shooting star is ther best and not just because it was on flcl

[BiggestATLAfan]

@dotheevolution100 Eventhough this song is on FLCL

[dotheevolution100]

@BiggestATLAfan i know it is that is why i went out of my way before to say " and not just because it was on flcl " in my earlyer post

[masonroe157900000]

ah, less flcl comments. life is better.

[masonroe157900000]

actually, now that i think of it, this sounds kind of like range life by pavement

[chenalos]

Having lived in London for some time I get a little choked up seeing them at the top of primrose hill.

[masonroe157900000]

this song reminds of pavement. if they were japanese.

[aslad]

@masonroe157900000 I like the comparison.

[masonroe157900000]

@aslad why thank you, good sir.

[kamaradakamikaze]

can you feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel!!!!!

[KingKoopa98]

asian radiohead

[failman9]

@KingKoopa98 they're better.

[TheseBonesLiquify]

@KingKoopa98 Totally.

[Basketkased]

@KingKoopa98 I was thinking more along the lines of Smashing Pumpkins, but yeah there is some Radiohead in there too.

[Seantendo]

@KingKoopa98 "Radiohead"? Who's tha- Oh! You mean English Pillows!

[fanglyn]

@Seantendo uhh they are more like the jap version of the beatles. dont get me wrong both have that kind of rhythm. modernize it, bring other 2 members back to life (of the beatles), jap version, got pillows. got something never want to end

[TOBORtheMighty]

@Seantendo Sorry, I think Radiohead is like 4 years older.

[matzklim]

@TOBORtheMighty they suck nevertheless

[TOBORtheMighty]

@matzklim You realize you kind of implied the Pillows suck?

[matzklim]

@TOBORtheMighty no, radiohead sucks, in my opinion.

[Takkun5656]

@KingKoopa98 asian Beatles if anything

[EnDZYm3]

@Takkun5656

They sound nothing like the Beatles. ಠ_ಠ

[radhjata]

@EnDZYm3 maybe it was just for the hairstyle... dunno, they "look" like them, but sounds more like radiohead or just me, dont really know

[Takkun5656]

@EnDZYm3 yes but the video has that Beatles feel to it.

[nightmarex66]

hmmm i hear a sense of sum 41, prob from the same time (style of music). this band owns and so does flcl.

[SATURDAYateSUNDAY]

i get a ache in my heart when i listen to this

man flcl really changed my life

[TheShozaya]

Japanese Beatles? Yes~

[trumpeter811]

Hybrid rainbow > double rainbow

[TheAlmightyDove]

@trumpeter811 Sore wa totemo tsuyoidesu (It's so intense)

[DrCrazies101]

@TheAlmightyDove それはとても強いです (It's so intense)

[TheAlmightyDove]

@DrCrazies101 I quit. You win xD

[DrCrazies101]

@TheAlmightyDove lol xDDD; noooooo don't give up yet, haha. just set up your keyboard to type japanese. Control Panel>Date Time and Region Settings (change keyboard)>keyboards and languages tab>change keyboards (add japanese IME)>once it shows up it should have a sub thing that says Microsoft IME (click it once)> click properties to the right>conversion tab> conversion control>select top two check boxes in the pop up> click apply and you're done! now you can use romaji input to type japanese :)

[SuperRoboSquadron]

@trumpeter811 Hybrid Rainbow = Double Rainbow + Pot of Gold = Hybrid Rainbow > Double Rainbow.

[molavec]

FLCL is a good anime, but The Pillows is the better that I could find in this anime.

This group Rulz

[roryporey]

what an amazing song, wish i spoke japanese

[ultima209]

I hope that the Pillows are ok in Japan

[CAPnJosh7]

@ultima209 They said on Facebook that they're okay :D

[ultima209]

@CAPnJosh7 Thanks

[HomingMissiles]

I can hear Pixies all over this song. Great!

[deurp1]

They're the Beatles of Japan!

[ipodninjad]

i think this is the best band ever

[TwoHairsInOneHole]

FLCL was the first anime I ever saw, so going back to it, reminds me of topless sex... for some really odd reason. :|I think it was because I was Naoto's age when I first saw this, so v*ginas weren't as impressive as boobs, and I felt that I could relate to him. Which was dumb. Oh, give the band credit too, they helped make FLCL what it is.

[pauliazz94]

i like this ! :D tho where's the bassist? :o

[Krtalaz91]

@pauliazz94 This does upset me. They never show the bass : \

[YuzaSan13]

@pauliazz94 LOOOL!! The original bassist left the band, cos he was an asshole. Their current bassist, Jun Suzuki is their supporting bassist. He's not an actual member, cos the others want the position of the original bassist to be respected. That's SO typical Japanese~~ XD [You see the current bassist in Tokyo Bambi music video]

[pauliazz94]

@YuzaSan13 why what happened? hm tho its still good though even with the supporting bassist only :/

[YuzaSan13]

@pauliazz94 Apparently, the original bassist left the band due to creative differences. the pillows was originally a punk-rock band with weird hair and colorful clothes, but because of that, they weren't getting a lot of fame. The other 3 wanted to change their punk-rock style to a British-style indie/grunge-rock style, but the bassist wanted to stay punk. Eventually, the bassist gave up and left, and the pillows got a new bassist after 2 years and changed to grunge-rock. Good choice guys!

[pauliazz94]

@YuzaSan13 thanks for the info :D well i really like this songs they created though.. each song got there own likability! but i love all of the songs so far that i listened too!

[YuzaSan13]

@pauliazz94 You should've seen them when they first started - The singer, Sawao Yamanaka's hair was indescribable... Like a bomb was set on it~!! XD

[kbaptiste28]

@YuzaSan13 if you ever watch the anime "beck: the mongolian chop squad," they mention the bassist of the band in the anime joining the pillows, but leaving due to creative difference.

[Tidusauron12]

@YuzaSan13

This isn't completely true.

After the first bassist left the pillows released 2 full albums of Jazz inspired music. This is from 1993-1996

The switch to Britpop/Grunge didn't happen until 1997, with the release of Please Mr. Lostman.

Also, they switched bassists yet again in 1999, from Kashima to Suzuki, who is their current bassist ever since.

[rampage4v]

TY!!!,im so glad this is over 1million!!

[justthereIguess]

I get chills every fucking time.

[Bsaefong]

Damn I wish I understood the lyrics. Great band how ever. I wonder if there is an english speaking rock band out there that sort of resembles this sound?

[1irrelevantelephant]

@Bsaefong The Strokes? A *little* bit, anyway...
