Good thing you posted it here so we could all tell you how fantastic it was.

Congrats to the IMers in the Top 15!

I hadn't seen that Rain Brain cover yet either, Goshin. It is really good. And I agree about being a bummed that the She is Perfect cover didn't make it. Also a shame that Kid Yuki's Last Dinosaur cover didn't.

Outside of the IM entries, glad to see the Trip Dancer cover in the Top 15, that was definitely amongst my favorites.

So, I find out if I was accepted to Temple Univeristy Japan on September 16th.

This 916 is either gonna be the best day ever or the saddest.



....

If I understand correctly, the pillows will have a live broadcasting you can watch on NicoNico on 9/15-9/16.
They will also announce the winners of the cover contest then.

Uh. Did it say premium members only in the information at the bottom of the nico link?

I think it said it's for a limited part of the broadcast, like the concert where premium members got the encore.

Hm... what portion. That's the question.

I didn't read the whole page but the bottom just says something about premium members getting it in high-res and getting priority if there's too much 'congestion'.

SOOOO soooo uhh uhh I wanted to watch some of the finalists again and noticed the pillows 20th account just commented on a few of the videos telling them to check their messages... ... ... Remote girl, Pillow Cases, Cables and Chords, and Ill Minstrel.

Yeah, it looks like they sent messages to everyone in the top 15. It's just a confirmation asking if you will actually be able to attend if you are chosen as a winner. Maybe they left the comments on those particular videos because those contestants haven't replied back yet.

Yah, I'm thinking it's what Mafu said. We didn't post about it here, but last week they sent an email asking for a reply as to whether you could attend the anniversary show or not.

I imagine that if they got no response, they're just trying more directly to get in contact with members of the Top 15.

Thankfully I looked on here just now and noticed the thing about the things. Youtube sent me no notifications on the message from ze pillows so I was just lalalaing it around while they were thinking I might not be able to make it!? A travesty! Anyway, I have alcohol flowing through me and am thankful for the heads up.

Phew!

Ohh of course. I thought it was awfully coincidental otherwise that there were four. Good luck!!!

They didn't ask me anything for the dance contest side though... It still says they're announcing winners for both on the Nico Nico page.

Since there aren't multiple winners or anything for the dance contest, they're probably just gonna do it on the date... though it seems to me like they would WANT to ask if you could attend ahead of time anyways... I mean, for the same reasons as the cover contest.

That's strange.

The fate of the brave IM members rests in the hands of the pillows.
Who will emerge victorious?
Find out TONIGHT on the Nico live stream.

So, my bro' and I just took first place in the cover contest. I'm still in complete shock.
I guess I'm goin' to Tokyo!
