[ChineseWuDwl]

What song where the pees performing?

[smartboyee2]

I remember seeing them live in Chicago last summer. I do hope they will come back. Their music is so soulful to me.

[lordblazer]

saw them in Austin last spring...

[llamasbike]

I am Japanese and I am living Japan. Everyone want to know the means Sawao said? so I will try to write what Sawao said. But I am just high school student yet. so I may cannot write English well and time is necessary for me. and..I may cannot write all. so I will write summary I do my best! I wish you are able to understand English I write. I study English hard more than now! I will come here again and write means Sawao said then. See you.

[Debaku]

Thank you, many of us would like and appreciate you doing that. It's really up to you, do what you want. school's important! so do what you like.

He's just gonna get into a Japanese University, and slack off, and then do an exchange program in the US and realize that he has to study in college XD.

[assassassin14]

is it possible that someone can make subtitles for this video, it can help us non-japanese speaking pillows fans

[Pandurrr]

Oh and this video alerting people to a tiring, middle aged pop rocker's possible nationalistic slant has been brought to you by Budweiser.

Sato is still such a fucking pimp though. My God.

[Pandurrr]

Sawao likes to collect imperial-era Japanese paintings. Nope, nothing unsettling about that.

[Winsane]

Alot less unsettling than you seem to make it out to be.

[Pandurrr]

Yeah maybe.

Dude, would you be so kind as to help me reorganize some of my Nazi paraphernalia? I'd also like to find a frame for this bitchin' rad oil painting of Hitler standing triumphantly atop a mountain of deceased, emaciated Jews. Know of any places?

[Imm0rtality]

Right under Stalin's, cuz he's the top dog by 9 million.

On a serious note, I don't think Sawao's paintings are Imperial-era (Which is post Meji), they look pre-Meji. Though, I'm about an expert on this as 4 minutes wiki will bring ya.

And if they were, Sawao probably wouldn't know the stigma associated with it, as they don't teach that in Japanese Schools. :P

[mobile513]

Would you care to explain to me what these prints are, exactly? Particularly the type shown around the two minute mark, they're a bit more dimensional than typical Japanese prints, a bit more Western, and are usually really over the top in detail, busy scenes with elaborate samurai costumes and/or bitchin demons. What style/era are those? I've seen them in places, but all the books I've read seem to skip that whole era/genre.

[MRKTFRSH]

if your talking about the woodblock prints, they're called ukiyoe and they're from the edo period.

[mobile513]

I know they're ukiyoe woodblock prints, I mean from when, and by who. The edo period covers about 300 years, if I remember right, but I think it comes after that, from 1860-1900. I recently came across an artist named Yoshitoshi, the prints might be by him, it's certainly the style I was thinking of.

[DegoFlamron]

I think one of the singers refers to Miyamoto Musashi, who was also a master swordsman at the time, and has since become legendary as one of the best swordsmen of all time. He was never defeated in battle or a duel, he established his own school and style of swordsmanship, and even wrote his own book upon the subject, entitled, "The Book of Five Rings" He also painted and drew many magnificent works of art. Some say that he is the best example for the Japanese, in the way of Warrior Poets.

[mobile513]

He was around long before these prints were made in his memory, however, looking him up *did* lead me to the artist in question, the one whose work I'd seen before and whose work I correctly assumed were a lot of the prints in this clip, Utagawa Kuniyoshi, who did numerous portraits of the warrior, and also taught the other artist I mentioned, Yoshitoshi. I have been trying to find this guys name on and off for years, thanks! Now I know who did that bad ass giant skeleton drawing.
