Also, is the top winner not getting to chill with the band this time around? I don't see it say anything for that in the prize description, though I had been under the impression that was part of the deal.

Man, it's gonna be hard to win this. Especially with entries like this:

It's all gonna come down to whichever covers the pillows like best.

Also, I've been curious about something.

[quote]From the 10 finalists, 1 best award in each category and member’s awards (3 works in total) judged and selected by the pillows members will be announced. [/quote]
From all the videos, both dance entries and cover entries, 10 will move on to be finalists. Is that correct?
So, the tribute CD won't necessarily be 10 tracks... since dance and cover entries will both be mixed in for the top 10.
Or... are there supposed to be ten finalists [b]per category[/b] (two top tens)? (Doubt the dance contest will even make it up to 10 entries.)

I have myself pretty well confused.

Wait... that's like. A REAL BAND. No fair! lololol

So is that member's choice basically? One best for cover and dance and three that they liked from each?

I'm 99% sure it said something like the winners would get to "mingle with the band" I think they changed it though since I didn't see it this time.

It says it right under the Youtube video on the contest page.

[quote]The winner will be awarded an opportunity to mingle with the band members and be invited to the pillows 25th anniversary live show (Saturday, October 4th). [/quote]

Hopefully it's like last time and they just take all the winners drinking after the show haha.

Not exactly related, but I wish I lived in Japan for this.

It's stated clearly that there will be 10 cover finalists used for the CD. They don't really mention for the dance category, but I think we can assume there would be a separate list of finalists.

[quote]The audio of 10 finalists who passed the first screening in the [b]cover category[/b], will be used on the CD “the pillows UNOFFICIAL TRIBUTE ALBUM” (not for sale) and given as a prize.[/quote]

However... a few more of you need to get in on the dance contest!!

[quote]If the number of qualified finalists is below expectations, the number of prizes awarded will be subject to change.[/quote]

Oh hey, a new dance one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiS_-HcwF-I

You know what I think would be cool? If one of the entries covered Funny Bunny... but then had a group of dancers doing the Funny Dance in front of them as they covered the song! That would be FUCKING AWESOME! LOL!

...Or if they used the original track in the dance contest.

Wow, the best entry thus far, imo. Great work. As expected.

...Damn....

Can they win again? Is that allowed? I vote no

Thank you! It's ok guys, they are not giving us top honors again. I did however want to produce something that was worth our time and effort (even for all you viewers!), so I hope you enjoy. It's just a pleasure to be able to celebrate this great band once more with all of you. Online activities like this are so much fun.

Get those entries in if you haven't already submitted. For those of you who have entered, the quality of entries this time around is OUTSTANDING. So exciting, and best of luck!!
