Oh, you can buy the Avex DVDs from iTunes now. Cool.

Lol that was me that got him to react to 3 pillows songs. Sorry 4.

[url=http://amzn.asia/6Dpme5P]Amazon Japan currently has Stroll & Roll in the bargain bin[/url] for 771 yen. This is the limited edition with DVD and Amazon exclusive postcard. Super good price. Pick it up for cheap if you don't have it.

Somebody in r/FLCL just said "I never thought I would get to see [the pillows] live after they retired". ughhhh *facepalm*

I can understand most of the mistakes people have been making with regard to the pillows lately (e.g. the "Fool on Cool" versions are remasters, the FLCL 2&3 songs are new, the pillows scored FLCL 2&3), but that's just like a whole new level of misinformation.

Some more cool stuff has surfaced.

This is footage from the performance at Shibuya Public Hall on December 30th 1994. The audio is a bit wonky, but still pretty cool.

I really liked how they ended Akanai. Thanks for sharing!

Shinichiro will be participating in a special band called "Nakagome Tomoko & THE KISSMARK". He's the [b]vocalist[/b].

The members are:
Vocals: Shinichiro (the pillows, The ピーズ, ex.THE POGO, ex.KENZI & THE TRIPS, etc.)
Guitar: Ryota Ogawara (JIGHEAD, THE TURN-TABLES, ex.THE POGO, etc.)
Guitar: Hiroshi Kasuga (MOSQUITO SPIRAL, ex.THE POGO, ex.DESSERT, ex.THE RYDERS, ex.LAUGHIN' NOSE, etc.)
Bass: Jun Gray (Ken Yokoyama《Ken Band》, ex.KENZI & THE TRIPS, ex.DESSERT, etc.)
Drums: Jun Tsukamoto (Twolow、KENNY BAKER、ex.THE POGO, etc.)

It's nearly the reunion of The Pogo.

Looks like a one-off thing but it'd be so cool if that band became an actual project. The Japanese punk scene in the '80s was epic but most of those bands have moved on without looking back, so some nostalgia is really welcomed.

Also I feel like Shin on the mic will be so badass that it would more than justify some records.

I see Shin as a great belligerent frontman for a punk outfit.

the pillows will appear on Premium Melodix tonight on TV Tokyo. They will perform Ningendomo (TV performance, so not really "live"). It's rare that they appear on TV, so I'm looking forward to it.

Here's the TV performance of Ningendomo (Thanks to Exa for the upload):

And here's the chat part:

You can see a bit of the Ningendomo PV at the beginning. Both Yoko and Arie are in it!

Sawao got a new tattoo.
This one will be much more noticeable than his others. It's across his left forearm. It reads "Life is desire, not meaning"; a quote from the Chaplin movie "Limelight" (yes, the same movie that Calvero came from).
