Japan lives in the future AND their record stores tend to put things out for sale the night before the official release.

 Re: New Album: STROLL AND ROLL - April 2016 release
[quote="Marekenshin"]Oh, they've started referring to Arie as "our current live support bassist" or something? Seems like it's as official as a bassist can get with the pillows, I guess? lol
Edit:
4th Movement Is Here
Every track so far has its own individual character so far, as one would expect from a pillows album, but they all sit a full step off from where the previous album's sound was. Bits of their best b-sides resonate (Subtropical has a taste of Snoozer to it, methinks), the guitar and vocal tones are gorgeous...this is the pillows album we've been waiting for.
In a video comment about the album, Sawao noted that back when they were young, he though "it'd be nice if we can renew our sound ever five years." Later, he thought "we need to make sure we renew our sound about every five years." Eventually, he wanted to do that every year. In the 26th year, he said, there was a renewal of their sound...but maybe it was a bit more like "adding a bit of spice, or just opening up your eyes a little bit."
This album, though, he confidently declared to be the most rock and roll thing they've ever done. Admitting that he's said that before, admitting that he thinks there has been a time when he felt that the pillows had become the band they wanted to be already, he confidently believes in this album, and it seems from the interviews I've seen and read that his fire is back.
"Keep going no matter if the wind blows strong, and the rain pours down on you," to reach that impossible thing. Choujou nante nai nda.
I think this will be overall the most positively received album by the Western fanbase in ages. You all wanted that stark change to their style, and if you don't hear it on this album it's possible that the pillows will have to reinvent the GENRE they sit in for you to feel satisfied that they're doing enough to shake their approach up.
AUREAH!!![/quote]
Awesome insights from Sawao, thanks for poting. Are there anyother tidbits from interviews in this album cycle that you can share. It sucks not being able to understand Japanese when you're favorite band gives out interviews. Weezer just put out their new self-titled album, so I've been reading interviews left and right. Can't do that with the pillows unfortunately. That's why I love hearing stories like this from the band.
Also, if we have an album on par with my Foot or Smile, that would be AWESOME. I've been waiting for this since... well, My Foot lol.

Sawao is boss. Them Japanese pre-releases.  The Japanese twitter-verse seems to be all over this album, love to bits.

 Re: New Album: STROLL AND ROLL - April 2016 release
Damn...these updates have me excited, though I keep myself grounded in the fact that those singing it's praise have been digging it all along. If I can get a listen this weekend I might just order it on payday next Tuesday though, it sounds promising.

Love it! It's cool to see him moving around and dancing dynamically now that he's taken to putting down his guitar for a change.

I'm just waiting on someone to enable my piracy habit.

 Re: New Album: STROLL AND ROLL - April 2016 release
I'll upload my personal rip when I get the CD if nobody else has solved that by then (I pre-ordered), but I was given a download on the condition of not posting it until it leaks otherwise. Sorry bbs but it's good, you'll enjoy.

 Re: New Album: STROLL AND ROLL - April 2016 release
I am really looking forward to hearing this album. Debris might be growing on me a little. Still not a big fan of One Flew Under The Cuckoo's Nest, but Radio Telegraphy and Stroll And Roll are right up my alley! While we're on the subject of waiting for music to be shared, can I make a request for someone with the tracks to share the two new ones from the B-side collection? I know this isn't the thread for it, but my last request a couple weeks ago went unnoticed.
