I wonder how Smells like Teen Spirit will sound.
And I hope this isn't the start of his solo carrier.
But yay for Tokyo Ska Paradise

If you pre-order, you will receive a pack of Sawao-flavored condoms. Taste the hybrid rainbow.

I see two different release dates...

This looks terrible. Also according to the Pillows' twitter account, there's another Predators album in the works.

I've been pretty pessimistic about the pillows lately, but even this is pretty cynical. Really? Calling it terrible from the track names?

I admit, it'd be a better pre-order bonus than ANOTHER Buster-kun sticker.

Could this be a cover album?

Looks like at least a few of them are originals. I'm pretty disappointed with the inclusion of pillows songs. They'd better be bitching acoustic versions or something equally great. If we get an Atomic Age-esque shitstorm of Hybrid Rainbow attempt, I will forswear any contact with Sawao's new music ever again.

To be honest, I'd really love to get some studio recordings of the instrumental stuff Sawao (and maybe the rest of the band?) composed for the live DVDs, as well as the live show intros. The live show "ARE YOU READY TO SEE SOME FUCKIN PILLOWS?!" jam is particularly badass - so much so that I actually have an mp3 recording of it on my iPod. It's perfect "aw yeah, it's midterm time" music. It's so badass in fact, it's in fucking DROP D TUNING. Yeah, let that sink in for a while. A pillows song in Drop D. CHUGGA CHUGGA METALLICA.

Of course, it's not gonna be on this CD. But one can dream.

Hahahah! You're a genius! I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner - in earlier shows they used Stompin' Wheel by Salon Music - from the same album! Hahaha, woooow. So I gotta snag this album now. Thanks.

both of these tracks get me pumped the fuck up, you dont' even know.

A song featuring Nine Miles, this album is going to be the best shit since TYMT.

EDIT: I'm confused about the release date, since The Predators have a CD coming, they seem to coincide. Maybe The Predators will be playing Sawao's songs in the live tour.


I don't get how you guys can be so pessimistic about this, who the fuck doesn't want to hear a song called CABLE HOUSE? INSTANT NOODLES? This will be a great album

Here's how it sounds terrible:
1- Rocket Boot
2- Lemon Drops
* Why does this song already need an alternate/re-recording? Ooparts isn't even a year old..
3- THIS PIPE IS MINE AND SO AM I (Feat. JIRO from GLAY)!!
* Sounds like a Predators song that Nakayama just didn't feel like playing on
4- Hairspray
* I know it's a stretch, but I somehow wouldn't be surprised if if had something to do with the movie/musical
5- INSTANT NOODLES (Feat. Tokyo Ska Paradise)
* When all else fails, bring in the quintessential Japanese ska band!
6- Smells like Teen Spirit
* Just what the world needs, another cover of this song
7- Cable House
* "God Cable... House" ?
8- DRAGON SCALES
9- ハイブリッドレインボー
* Probably an acoustic version that should have been on Rock Stock, but didn't fit because it didn't "rock" enough
10- Blue Train (Feat. Nine Miles)
* Sawao and Manabe recorded this during the Ooparts session while Shin and Jun were outside smoking
11- Drive My Car
* Well we already have a Nirvana, cover... why not the Beatles?
12- IRON LUNGS
* "My Iron Lung(s)" ?

That's just the first impression I get from the track titles, maybe I'll completely wrong and it will be good. I just don't understand why this would be necessary, especially if he's doing another stint with the Predators this year, too.
