anyone posted any videos yet?

Not yet, everyone is in the preparation period.
The dates are set for when your allowed to post them up.

Yup, getting ready to make the best fucking cover ever, so it'll probably take everyone some time. Good luck everyone.

Good luck to everyone

Yeah, good luck guys! May the best team win and hopefully someone from IM will take home the gold!

Spoilers: GR and I have an edge.

^You and GR have met the pillows, they know you! It ain't fair!

I'll just have to work that much harder!

Hey I met the band too! I doubt they'll recognize me though. Let's hope we get some IMers to win!

Don't you worry, IMers are definately going to win.

I wonder if they would remember me, I met them in San Francisco and got to show them my tattoo too. One of the best days of my life.

I'm sure Sawao remembers Marekenshin because of the sheer amount of times they've met and/or spoken, the magnitude of those meetings, and most importantly, the fact that Mare is pretty good with his Japanese.

How much of an edge will that bit of personal connectivity give them in this competition? Who knows. Maybe next to none, maybe a lot. It doesn't matter though. We all have to cover the pillows' asses off. Someone needs to be at Boudokan.

I think that the initial 20 are chosen by number of unique views or something? I'm not sure.

When (not if, I have the utmost confidence in you guys) you win, take lots and lots of pictures. Document frigging everything.


Also good luck! Kick ass, take names, and run out of bubblegum!

Question, I've posted this before somewhere else, but is there anyone here who lives near San Diego, CA and would like to play I think I can with me for the contest? D: I'd really love it if I could find an actual fan of the pillows to play this with, instead of playing with myself, or a random friend that doesn't really love the pillows as much as I do. I really just want someone that could fill Sawao's part. Vocals and rhythm guitar.

^I'm having a similar problem. I can't sing worth a damn, so I'm having to practice scales and shit everyday. I went to an instructor. He said I have a voice, it's just uncoordinated as hell. I gave him the deadline for the contest, and he says I need to focus on getting my range straightened out if I even want to think of singing.

That said, instrumental is the other option if my vocals don't work out. I'm thinking of doing a more "classical" version of All the Way the Edge of This World. With piano and violin. No words, just awesome arrangement.
