My natural inclination is to listen to them a lot but I try to give other music that I haven't heard as much more playtime. I usually listen to early nineties through LB stuff these days.

Yeah I listen to them all the time. In my iPod I had tons of music, but I got a virus in my comp and i had to erase all the songs :( But now I'm downloading my music again and the Pillows was the first thing I downloded. I tend to listen to Pillows everyday becasue at work I use my iPod to releave stress and reduce my boredom, so yeah everyday ^_^ My friends prefer to listen to Asian kung-fu Generation when we cruise around, but they like Hybrid Rainbow.

I've spent the past year and a half up to now listening to these guys but I've started to slow down now been listening to other bands. But I'll play them once in a while.

I burned myself out on them for three straight years of listening to them at least an hour almost every day. Not to say that i don't like them, I just definitely don't listen as often. Probably due to the fact that my computer crashed and they really haven't been readily available for mah listnin pleashar. I'm just surprised that people actually get offended when i say that I don't listen to them that much anymore. Always one of my favorite bands, I just don't listen all that often. Maybe once every few weeks, but that goes for a lot of bands as well.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I pretty much had only the pillows on my first mp3 player (only 512 megs :? ), and because I listened to it on the way to school, while I played chess, on the way home, when I ran... I kinda got burned out on them for a while, so I upgraded my mp3 player, started downloading more varied stuff, (I think the Bloodthirsty Butchers are a pretty nice alternative, actually) and lately I've been getting back into the pillows again.

I still listen to them a lot. I listen to plenty of other bands, but the pillows are still my favorite group.

i got an ipod shuffle that i only do random fill and play on shuffle mode, so i usually get to hear them every once in a while when im at work or walking around.

i got a mp3 deck in my car though, so i've pretty much got an almost complete discography up to wake up! 3x in three mp3 cds. i switch around different music a lot, but on longs drives it would be really rare for me not to toss one of the pillows discs in and listen to atleast 2 or three albums worth.

[quote="sonic3305"]I've listened to them pretty consistently for years. I listen to plenty of other stuff, but on a day I take the train to and from work, I usually hear at least one song (if not one album). They have just so many different sounds and moods, no matter how I'm feeling there's always a song that fits.[/quote]

Isn't that whats so fantastic about the pillows?
It seems that no matter what mood I'm in theres always a song that can amplify or negate my current mood.

I mean, I'm sure the same can be said about any band, but the huge variety of songs they've put out...I dunno, On my ipod's top 25 played list its usually about 60% pillows, 10% other Japanese, 29% English stuff and 1% September by Earth Wind and Fire.

Let me think... The last time I went a whole day without listening to the pillows was probably when I found out about The Beatles, about two years ago.

I still listen to them plenty. Granted, not as much as about 2-3 years ago, but a decent deal of that's in part to my music collection growing more (The Pillows compose like 1.2ish gigs of my 26gb of total music). Like the other few bands/artists I listen to the most, they'll generally be times where I listen to them quite a bit and then lulls when I don't as much.

The Pillows are the only other band in my library quite with a Beatles-like mass collection of awesome material, so like the aforementioned, I'll sometimes toss around between different albums. Over the last month or two, I'd say I've been listening to Little Busters and Smile stuff the most as far as they're concerned.

I still listen to them on a regular basis. I always put my Ipod on shuffle, and having 300+ pillows' songs on there including their whole discography and plenty of live MP3's, I usually listen to them at least once a day.

I listen to em pretty regularly. My mp3 player is usually on shuffle and they make up about 30% of the memory on it.

Recently though I've been listening to alot more radiohead than anything else though. But I usually over listen one band then go back to listenin to shuffle which is more pillows than any other band.

every few months something reminds me of their songs, i put on a few classics, smile wildly with love and nostalgia, and then another 6 months go by before i hear them again..

I listen to The Pillows everyday, the second most listened to band on my MP3 player AJIKAN is still #1.

I mostly listen to them as I play along with my guitar 8)

I have been a fan of The Pillows for almost five years now, like most of their fans I first heard them on Furi Kuri. They were the first band I ever liked I used to hate music before I started listing to them, but it was hard for me to find there music so AJIKAN ended up being my favorite band since I had more exposure to them, but I love The Pillows more than ever now!
