Looks like Sawao read my guide but forgot Step 4. Is buster-kun even their mascot anymore?

Fuck....

My hopes are becoming progressively dashed....the mediocre cover, the track list that reeks of a Sawao solo album...

The bassist situation still has me intrigued, but I don't know what to say honestly...

Why do they have to name their songs so fucking terrible these days?

honestly if the music is good i really couldn't care about the packaging or the song titles or anything.

Had some chuckles while scrolling through this thread. Thanks, guys. I needed it

I guess I'll buy this for the lulz. I haven't been in Japan during a new pillows release before, so what the hell?

Try and see them on the tour, 4th movement is last movement.

I hope that people buy this album. When the Avex contract ended, the pillows could have very well just called it quits. Instead, they continue to give us new music. And who knows how many more opportunities there will even be to buy "the new pillows album". They're not getting any younger.

I'm gonn' pre-order from [url=http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B01B2D8JEC]Amazon JP[/url], which claims to deliver the day before release on domestic pre-orders.

Maybe they [i]should[/i] hang it up...


I kid, I kid. TBH I do not plan to buy this until I give it a listen. Or at least a new single which blows my socks off.

It's sad, but that's how it goes. I really hope they come to the US so I can see them one last time.

Everyone is going to love Subtropical Fantasy when it turns out to be a chill Sonna fuu ni sugoshitai style track with sweet, sweet Kashima bass. [size=85](keepin' positive/I still believe)[/size]

Well, I guess we should know well enough not to judge a book by its cover... or song titles. Both of these are ridiculous.

...but I plan on buying this album anyways. It's the 20th studio album, and I haven't gotten a physical copy of a studio album since Pied Piper. Also, I know that Sawao went on record to say that the "4th Movement is the Last Movement". But that could be years; the 3rd Movement itself was nearly 20 years long. So why the posts alluding to a very near retirement? There is nothing I've seen that even hints the pillows are close to done, seeing as there are plenty of musicians that go well into their 50's and 60's making music. Perhaps not at the same frenetic pace, but there nonetheless. Is there something in Japanese interviews the "common people" haven't been made aware of yet to suggest the end is near?

I preordered the new album and the b-side collection so I don't care much about the impact font and generic photos on the album covers.

Guys.

Just strolled through the earlier posts on this thread and listened to that 'Radio Resistor' mash-up.

Started giggling in the office for some reason as soon as i heard the transition
People stared. Much people stared.

That transition was [i]SMOOTH[/i].

PS I Pre-ordered all so expect rips.
Taking format requests.
