Half the fucks here don't even cover their mouths (or they do it with their hand) when they cough.

I don't get this "pillows idiots that brought posters 10 years ago" thing. To the best of my knowledge, it is logically impossible for anyone to have "brought posters" to a pillows show in the US "10 years ago," but I'm gathering that this is a problem with the clarity of his writing. Is he mad because people are having the pillows sign old merch? What a strange thing to be irritated over.

^Yeah, I can't see exactly what the man is saying there either. I really didn't know how to interpret that, so I didn't say anything (until now).

In this picture Sawao's legs look broken! LOL

I had a hard time figuring that sentence out. I don't think he's irritated though. I think he's just saying that the number of fans in general have increased since 10 years ago... or the fans bringing 10 year old posters have increased? Anyway, he does use the word 'idiot'... whether it has some kind of affectionate or other nuance due to the 'o' in front of it, I'm not sure.

If Mare or somebody can give a second opinion on the sentence, go for it please.

"Pillows fool who brings posters from 10 years ago will also appear a lot."

That's a translation I got from someone at Animenation... essentially the same thing.

Yeah, "There were even a lot of fools for the pillows who bring posters from 10 years ago(!)" is what I get from that.

The "ピロウズお馬鹿" is the only part I see trouble smoothly translating, as he obviously means sort of overly dedicated fans. Maybe "fanboys"? Haha.

Which venue was this shot at? If it's at Gramercy Theater in NYC, I can probably find myself in that shot.

I dunno, every time I read it, I agree with Terra, I think he was trying to say "There were even a lot of "Old Fans" bringing posters from 10 years ago" I could be wrong, but it does kind of make sense.

No, 10年前のポスターis definitely the object that is being brought. If he meant fans from ten years ago, he would have said 10年前からのピロウズお馬鹿, I think. Yeah, you COULD interpret that there were a lot of "fans of 10 years brining posters," but it makes far more sense to interpret it as many pillows nuts brought posters from 10 years ago.

this picture....

IS AMAZING

they look like such a punk group. Makes me want to start some knucklheaded punk band and make my gimmic to wear one of those masks while I sing. It'd be a shot at the medicated and protective life we are encouraged to live in these days of political correct ness. I'll sell them as swag

or not.

but seriously, I love this picture because of the way Jun and Manabe (at least it looks like Jun and Manabe) are lined up looking in the same direction behind him. And the pose Sawao hit with the SARS mask.

Ah yes, that makes more sense

"Obaka"

That makes me think of people are really crazy about the pillows in this context... I don't see why he would be insulting here. I just think he's surprised with how dedicated some of the fans of the pillows are here in America.

Especially with people shouting "90s My Life!" in the middle of shows and when being asked their favorite songs replying with "Kanojo wa Kyou" or "Swanky Street". I wonder if by saying 10 years he is referring to pre-FLCL stuff... that'd make more sense.

Anyways, I agree with Mare.

Yeah, like I said "ピロウズお馬鹿" would probably be best translated as pillows fanboy or something, because they mean somebody who is crazy (stupid) for the pillows.

I bet Sawao was hiding his face from rabid fangirls.
