the pillows will contribute a cover to Straightener's 20th anniversary tribute album.
The song list hasn't been announced yet, so we don't know which song they will be covering at this time.
Some of the other bands on the album are ACIDMAN, ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION, 9mm Parabellum Bullet, go!go!vanillas, THE BACK HORN, SPECIAL OTHERS, back number, My Hair is Bad, and MONOEYES.

Straightener has a lot of good songs. Which one do you want them to cover? I hope it's REMINDER or something. :whoa:

Sawao would do a killer Rocksteady, imo. :shred:

That's a pretty exciting list of bands, this one should be awesome.

I should've replied to this a while ago, but I'm really excited about this. i still really like Straightener, and I'm curious to see what Sawao and the gang have selected. I'm really hoping a faster song; I can't see the pillows covering something like Tender and doing it justice. I'm more hoping for Berserker Tune or Blue Sinks in Green. Little Miss Weekend might be cool too, as far as newer stuff goes.

I also vote for Rocksteady, however. :shred:

Sawao has covered "Evergreen" during his solo shows. Maybe they'll do a band version. :shred:

Hoping that the tracklist order and artist order on this page are going to match up: http://sp.universal-music.co.jp/straightener/pause/

Because that would mean we get the pillows on ROCKSTEADY and I would cry.
Edit: balls, just kidding and no way - the songs are alphabetized lol.

Oh man, this is gonna be awesome. It's an excellent song from an excellent album, and I can really see the pillows doing Farewell Dear Deadman justice. It's not too heavy and it's not really a true ballad either. A solid choice, IMO.

Also, Senseless Storyteller Sony is probably the perfect fit for AKFG. Looking forward to this tribute album for sure.

Sawao played Farewell Dear Deadman last night on his radio show (the final episode :( ).
It's a super excellent cover. Manabe's lead and solo are pretty great. The original is one of my favorite Straightener songs, but I think I like this cover even more.
