 Re: the pillows COVER CONTEST 〜ROAD to NIPPON BUDOKAN!!!〜
Wow, congrats to all you guys that made it! Everyone here put forth some really good covers.  That was great to see Sawao and the others commenting on the vids, especially the Ano Hi to Onaji Sora vid. I'm sure that and the Kimi ga Iru video took them way back. Again, congrats guys.

 Re: the pillows COVER CONTEST 〜ROAD to NIPPON BUDOKAN!!!〜
Guess they weren't digging the whole piano thing... But at least they probably saw it!
So, who's going to the show?
So far we got:
Amkun ladybirdgirl Brye
AND, myself.
So that's 4 IMers at the show! And ladybirdgirl gets to meet them... can you say ENVY!? :lol;

[quote="itaffy13"]I couldn't believe they actually watched my vid!!! Completely unexpected.[/quote] Dude, about time you freaking posted on here again. Your cover was one of my absolute favorites, it more than deserved the mention it got. The only reason you aren't in the top 5 is because of not getting enough views for them to be able to justify putting you in the top 20, imo.

The only reason you aren't in the top 5 is because of not getting enough views for them to be able to justify putting you in the top 20, imo.[/quote] Yeah I'll be totally honest. itaffy's was the only cover that made me actually a little [i]uncomfortable[/i] at how well it was pulled of - excited that it was good, but it was the first one that made me think: "oh my god, people are bringing the fire for this thing." I was really floored by it, in a sort different way than any of the other "really good covers." Great recording quality. Your ability to transcribe such an old song was really astounding. The vocal harmony (and accompanying video bit) was glorious - the "ahhhh!!  ". I think the only thing really holding you back was, unfortunately, the song - it was really obscure. Sure, probably most diehard fans know it, but still. It's not nearly as well known as Gazelle City, FotP, Rookie Jet, Hybrid Rainbow, or Orange Film Garden (::cough::). So that might have hurt it for some reason. Sort of like if someone did a really good Secret Slogan cover. You know? Anyway, I thought you deserved more than an honorable mention. You really did some awesome stuff there. Congrats on that.

 Re: the pillows COVER CONTEST 〜ROAD to NIPPON BUDOKAN!!!〜
Everything Grey said is true. In terms of quality of cover, yours deserved top 5 without a doubt. Also, dude, I'm in the bay area too, hit me up sometime dammit.

 Re: the pillows COVER CONTEST 〜ROAD to NIPPON BUDOKAN!!!〜
Completely agree with both GR and Mare, you did great on that cover Taffy and I know how hard you worked on it. I'm sure we're going to just talk about the response when I come over Sunday! Great job to all of the contest entries, and I wish to see every winner from IM at Budokan in 2 weeks!!!! Me, Tidus, Elmoo, and Charm Face need to meet up in front of Budokan at some time to really share our experiences talk about our lives, get to know each other and give Charm Face our congrates for an awesome job!!!! We need them to really show them what IM is all about. Tell them about us and our devotion to the pillows!! AGAIN THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR COMMENTS, RATINGS, AND SUPPORT!!!! This event has made us all connected one way or the other, and has made it possible for some of us to see our favorite band on the planet! Can't wait for Budokan!! I'm dying here just thinking about the trip. I hate how looong these 2 weeks are feeling! But still, I also want to thank Taffy for making this all happen, he was our recording editor and analyist and helped me and Konno make a great cover and see our work come together. Thank you Taffy, I'm really sorry you won't be able to make it to Budokan, but I will bring Budokan back to you!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH I LIKE YOU IM BUSTERS!!!!

[quote="Marekenshin"]I think the only thing really holding you back was, unfortunately, the song - it was really obscure.[/quote] [i]Exactly[/i] what I concluded, you read my mind. In the beginning, I was hoping that if I posted an "obscure" song, I would be impressing The Pillows (which seemed to have worked somewhat), however, the whole view-count rule for the top 20 made it so that popularity had senority over quality until the final round. [quote="Marekenshin"]Dude, about time you freaking posted on here again. Your cover was one of my absolute favorites, it more than deserved the mention it got. The only reason you aren't in the top 5 is because of not getting enough views for them to be able to justify putting you in the top 20, imo.[/quote] I'm flattered. I'm glad you both liked it, warms my heart.

You could have at least put me in your video credits or something. Anyway, Sunday, we could still get together, but konno can't make it. I'm still down if you wanna do some acoustic.

 Re: the pillows COVER CONTEST 〜ROAD to NIPPON BUDOKAN!!!〜
I hope I'm not asking too much, but could someone explain in detail what The Pillows were saying about my vid.
I'm pretty sure it wasn't just that caption at the bottom; they were talking for a good 30 seconds about it.
