[quote="sheerheartattack"]Are the pillows really so big in Mexico that they stop there for a show? I don't know how they even became recognized in Mexico in the first place. Intriguing.[/quote]

Latin America is a hive of blood sucking weeaboos.

i think there are a few spanish forums about the pillows

thats where the news of the mexico tour was first seen...well i gotta refer back to the original thread about it to confirm

The same way they became famous in America?
FLCL?


And yes, there are quite a few fans in Mexico. It depends on how well this gets spread in Mexico, to see how many people actually go.

They have FLCL en Espanol? Heh. I guess what [i]isn't[/i] these days.

Of course, it is.
Why do you seem so surprised?
Japanese animation is not distributed strictly to the United States.

What's funny is on the FLCL commentary Tsurumaki talks about how he liked the Pillows but how they were never popular. He's then asked if they've become more popular (in Japan) because of FLCL and he says no, he doesn't think they have.

[quote="sonic3305"]I made some posters of my own to put up for the Chicago show, using the jumping-Sawao picture from the MySpace group.[/quote]

I don't think the tour poster is bad, but yeah, a poster with the jumping Sawao would be awesome.

[quote="lmd2131"]hey, you might see my friends older sis there then

yeah, send a CD or two over my way and ill see if ican get them signed for you, definetly would be an amazing congratulations gift for you (except not sure if i would send it back )[/quote]

shipping cds takes money and packing. i think i'll just wait for next year, all the same. next year i'll have even more cds as well. i'm getting white incarnation for a graduation gift, and plan to get moon gold later on.

I think it's really cool that the pillows are going to play in mexico. Think about it. This means that their international popularity really is growing. they're now playing in three countries.

This is just a guess... but maybe... just MAYBE... they know how to read/speak English!? :O

English is the foreign language of choice in Latin America and of course, the entire world. So that is one possiblity. However, just as there are fansub-ers here in the US, there are fansub-ers in Latin America that speak Japanese and might be translating it to Spanish. Of course, you have to consider that maybe some of the DVD's being sent over there have Spanish subtitles and the high market of bootlegs.

wow ticketmaster is a fucking ripoff. I just spent 41 bucks for a 17 dollar ticket (la show). Is it usually this expensive to buy in advance? I mean 14.50 UPS delivery? that's fucking bullshit! I bet I probably would've gotten in cheaper if i bought at the door...

Uh...you should've gotten standard mail delivery. The show isn't for another month anyway.

yup. that's crazy. It says they'll send the tickets to your home.. and even if it gets lost in the mail, you can request the info by calling ticketmaster or checking your account or whatever.
