Do they let Jun do backing vocals a sometimes now? They sound different to me.

I was 404'red on the third sample, but New Animal sounds sweet. Finger post is definitely unique, too. I would agree that they are moving in a new direction again. It was fairly apparent with Tokyo Bambi, anyways.

I'm liking Mr. Droopy more than NEW ANIMAL so far.

As someone who was rather indifferent to Wake up! thrice, I must say New Animal and Mr. Droopy do sound pretty cool, though I'm not necessarily convinced just yet. But then, I'm a fan of their more upbeat tracks and they generally don't do enough of them for my taste, so if Pied Piper can deliver here, I'm all for it.

hmm just preordered the special edition pied piper from CDjapan....wasn't even planning on it, but the 500 yen savings I just couldn't pass up. Now just to wait till its released...then another like, 12 weeks for it to get to me. lol. bummer.

When I go to play any of the three song samples, Real Player says it cannot play them, because the requested URL is not valid. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it? Thanks.

heard new animal on the radio a few days ago. Unfortunatly this was during pingpong practice so i could hardly hear it above all of the *PDOCK*-ing.

It may grow on me, but I think Mr. Droopy is a much stronger song.

The beginning of the song (right before the verse) kind of reminded me of Kings Of Leon (I forget the song though). It's an OK song but nothing really stands out to me except for the intro. If I understood the lyrics maybe my stance on this song would be different.

My sentiment exactly.

The main theme of the song is about trying for an unreachable dream and believing in yourself no matter what you're told.

And the guitar doesn't sound flat, that's more youtube. There's actually a huge amount of drive/distortion on Sawao's guitar, I can't wait to hear it in full quality.

New Animal is growing on me. I haven't really gotten into Mr. Droopy yet (I've only heard the samples) and Finger Post's vocals throw things off (I liked the intro with the bass and drums though). Then again I'm more a fan of the pillows slow songs so that could also be why I'm not getting into these songs yet.

Hehe, I was hoping that since the pillows were starting to get more into the mainstream they'd tart putting Jun in their PVs... but I guess not...

I know... but not Go! Go! Jupiter, or New Animal...

I don't get why he was only in TB, that's kinda' strange...

I wanna say that maybe it's only for PVs when Sawao isn't playing guitar (i.e. Terminal Heaven's Rock and Tokyo Bambi) but who knows.
