Sawao should hire the make-up person that did his make-up as his personal make-up artist, because whoever it was did a really good job on making him look kind of young again. And I like his hair.

And he always sounds like shit, but I like it that way. That's one the many things that make the pillows unique from other bands.

[quote="GoldenRhino"]After seeing both the w/ Mr. Children performance and this one...I can definitely say that this is a case where the studio version outshines the live version by a longshot. Except for the maybe the solo. Manabe's solo on the DVD was pretty cool..[/quote]

this IS the studio recording except the vocals...

I'm not sure what you mean by that. I'm saying when we compare (specifically, the vocals) of any live version of Scarecrow, to the .AIFF file that was on the Scarecrow single...The single is far superior.

The full CD-quality file that is on the Scarecrow single. People convert them to mp3s because mp3s are much more compressed and take up less space. And they sound decent.

By ".AIFF", I mean...[i]the song on the physical CD[/i].

WTF? If sounding like shit is unique, I'll take something ordinary.

But yeah. Bad singing, silly performance, lame circle-jerk in the comments.

I think what she means is that while Sawao doesn't have much technical proficiency, nor does he have the voice of a seraph, he creates very pleasant vocal melodies and his voice works with them very well.

Aha I was thinking about the My Foot tour too

Am I the only person who finds the clips from [i]Wake Up![/i] incredibly depressing?

They all sound like lesser versions of songs from the "holy trinity." Either that, or they strike that "vapid pop" chord that they've been kicking around since [i]Good Dreams[/i]. Yeah. I mean, I'm still totally gonna listen to the album, as simple clips of choruses are hardly indicative of overall song quality, but my excitement is more than a little diminished.

EDIT: However, as I said before, "Century Creepers" is hella promising, and "Pleasure Song" sounds pretty okay.

Makes me want to cry watching it.. I think i've never heard the pillows playing instruments from playback before... I wonder how they felt about it.

Actually that's exactly what I meant.

The picture _KeitarO_ posted of Sawao doesn't do Sawao justice, And he looked really cute in BoTP compared to what he looks like now. Should I screen cap Lostman go to America to death?

Manabe gets to look that old because he's the oldest. Or something like that...
