I liked that they had you watching the pillows actually play the song most of the PV, which was meant to be the point. They just wanted to do a cute animation thing to tell a story with the song, I think.

For those who wanted the "official" lyrics.

[quote]パンダのシャツがやけに似合ってた
星条旗のタオルではしゃいでた
カメラ向けると変な顔をした
いつもいつもいつも可愛かった

帰り道はたまに手をつないだ
バカな僕のせいで喧嘩もした
造花のバラで仲直り出来た
寝呆け顔でウクレレを聴いてた

それは僕を動かすエネルギー
それは僕を動かすエネルギー
キミは誰かのものになったけど
今も僕を動かすエネルギー
永久に

似合わない服の僕に笑った
ドアを閉めたらすぐ愛し合った
札束をおもちゃにして遊んだ
安い手品に驚いてくれた

それは僕を動かすエネルギー
それは僕を動かすエネルギー
キミの記憶の中で薄れていく
僕を強く動かすエネルギー
永丸に 永遠に

開くべき扉を通り過ぎた
臆病な男の末路
上手く立ち撮る舞って
目を開けたらさよなら

キミは僕を動かすエネルギー
今も僕を動かすエネルギー
キミは誰かのものになったけど
今も僕を動かすエネルギー

それは僕を動かすエネルギー
それは僕を動かすエネルギー
キミには消したい過去だとしても
僕には宝物のエネルギー

You're the energy

Aside from the English, it's all exactly the same as what I wrote and as what was posted on Nico video.
I'll change the translation to reflect the new english lyrics, though.

It looks like someone typed this wrong, 撮る舞って is not a word but 振る舞って is

So we've all agreed that this song is fucking awesome?

This is actually the first, new, pillows song I've listened to more than once. I haven't done that since the wake up album. Or the rock stock compilation. Well, beyond the moon..but that's about it.

There's a song here?

Yeah, it's great.

I'm liking it! I really love how Sawao belted it out at the end. I don't really mind the animation in the PV as long as we still get to see them actually playing the song.

The hell? People are complaining about the PV and it's animation? We all know sawao's animations on his pv's were never really great. Look at instant music for crying out loud! A friggin bear looking thing grabbing onto his penis and making it spin. Then later on having it growing in size to a skyscrapper and having a crow bite it off. The pillows animations have improved by a hella of a lot!

I wouldn't say "fucking awesome," but it's a pretty good song. The verse vocal melody lacks a bit for me, and that holds it back.

Yeah, that's my gripe as well. The verse and the chorus are only slightly different with the vocal melody, so the distinction in energy between verses and the chorus is small. Which kinda defeats the purpose of the song title, haha.

I think most people would feel more affectionately about the Instant Music bear humorously swinging his dick around than say, the white kids in Go! Go! Jupiter, at least. Wake up Dodo and 1989 are easily the best videos to feature animation, though.

Yeah I do get what is being said about the verse melody... It is a bit smooth and straight forward. Maybe a little more thump in the playing, something to really grab at you.

I kinda want the shirt too, though it might be a bit of a head scratcher for the people who see you in it.

I think it's the fact that their recent videos have been absolutely RIDDLED with Flash animation, and it ends up looking kinda tacky and cheesy, while Instant Music's animation is more raw and ISN'T Flash, which I like a lot.

I'm surprised flag star didn't get it's own music video. I really enjoyed funny bunnies PV. It was amazing. I wish they could of done it in the old voice. I REALLY want to see lesser hamster in blue's pv.


But I understand what you mean. The flash animation looks a lot better than that of go!go! jupiter and even 1989. Though I didn't mind it.

BTW. The pv of Enerugia. I can't help but connet both the 1989 pv with this pv. Maybe cuz of the spaceship and whatnot. 'Please catch this my song' 'You are the energi to which I move'

Could it be that sawao is singing to us? We are the energy to which moves him. And whatnot? As for the pv. Think about it, in the 1989 pv the space person dies. The old man is sadden by an accident that happened. What if his dreams were crushed but his son's weren't (1989 person) Which would explain the young man and old man.

Then again, the old man might be the guy from 1989 and whatnot.

Instant Music has the best video. Not even joking.

I like iiiiit. I'm not sure if I agree or not, I'll have to rewatch. But I like where this is going.
