@@broidk8291 It's a very similar chord progression and song feel, but it actually wouldn't be considered a rip off musically or legally (they'd have to argue it in court), but most likely this would be technically considered an interpolation. They are in the same key, similar chord progressions, but One Life contains more chords, thus more movements in the piece, and would probably be considered more complex musically. There's an extra Cm7, Dm, C7, A7, and G# chord in One Life, though they share a few of the same basic chords, C, F, G, Em, etc. You get what I'm saying lol. Interpolation in music is essentially this, you're outright inspired by a piece of music, but you want to make it your own - so you could either change the key (they didn't here, but C is also the most common and foundation of modern music theory), add some new chords to add different colors, or you could change the tempo to give it a new feel - which the Pillows did, they took it from 81 to 91 BPM. Interpolation in music is very common, we're all listening to a lot of the same music these days, and we love to mimic patterns we like when we're inspired. I don't at all feel it's morally objectionable unless it's not transformative. If the interpolation isn't transformative, if it doesn't build upon the original and make it something new, then it's much less defensible, and it goes from interpolation to stealing copyright (whether intentional or unintentional by law). That being said, when interpolation is discovered in court, it usually means the new artist will pay some percentage of royalties to the original artist - because although it isn't stealing, it is creating something that wouldn't have been created without the original piece. It is a respected practice, though. Sorry for the long music nerd comment, just sharing for the sake of it. Also, I have to say, One Life is light years better than the Oasis track, so much more moving emotionally. I've also never been a fan of Oasis, though, their stuff has always kinda bored me compared to other acts of their time, Nirvana, Green Day, RHCP, etc. The apathy I get from Oasis is not nearly as charming as what I get out of The Pillows. The Pillows don't give me this, "I'm too cool for this", vibe, instead, I get a, "The world around us is apathetic, and maybe we're not cool for still caring, but we still care" kinda vibe if that makes any sense at all lol.
Same here. I think The Pillows, FLCL, and the early Final Fantasy games and the music from Nobuo Uematsu were my main reasons for wanting to learn about Japan. How is FLCL so good / so much better than some other anime and only six episodes?!
I wish my local record store sold some pillow LPs they have such a sound that in capsulates modern growth urban sadness and painful truths I'm thankful for the show for putting me on to the pillows. Forever.

Your right there, having there songs in a anime is how they build there audience world wide. One of the other reason I love anime is the Japanese band songs being played
This song will always remind me of my youth. So many friends and family members lost since then. It's hard to remember that I was once an innocent young kid, with so many dreams.
And hey you can still keep going! As long as youre alive you can do whatever you can to make your life one you think beautiful to live man, i believe in you!
why you are crying?.. i dont aske because i think that it would be a stupid thing to do.. but because i cry as well.. fun thing is .. i dont know even why i cry.. all the times i listen to this song.. its really weird.. like i have lost something i never ever possessed.. what the fuck is wrong with me ..

English lyrics: If the blue poppy's petals Are swaying without any wind It's all thanks to my sigh. I don't know for sure, but it's gotta be. Wrapped up in the darkness of every day, Chained by my freedom The dreams we had together were so bright, I could no longer look myself in the face directly. There's only one thing I can see in my filthy mirror A light that's no illusion... You are my light. Taking off my twisted armor, I'm a snail who's started on a journey Getting struck by the rain wears me out, But I'm not turning back. Once again, I've been spit out from a town-colored mirage I'd like to just laugh it off and make the excuse That it's all because my toes are too big, And they got in the way No matter what kind of shoes I wear, If I walk, I leave footprints And until one day they stop, they're the proof that I'll finish... ...One life There's only one thing I can see in my filthy mirror A light that's no illusion... You are my light. Some day, all those memories we can't touch, We'll lose them But even if you leave no shape behind... You are my light.

@@mobilesuitjesse The first line, "if the blue poppy's petals are swaying without any wind, it's all thanks to my sigh." sounds like a tired and frustrated person. Like, his frustration is so much that when he sighs, it's like the wind. That particular line has always stood out to me. Anyway, I think the whole meaning behind the song is about him being in love with someone who is so pure- not fake. Through-out the songs, it appears that he relies on her existence to continue his journey to somewhere.
I always liked The Pillows guitar because it reminded me of shoegaze, funnily enough one of the most revered shoegaze bands ever "My Bloody Valentine" were signed to the same record label as "Oasis" i'm starting to see some patterns.
I don't know if you saw FLCL, an anime in which this song takes part, the funny thing is that 9 years after your comment they release another season of that anime called Shoegaze.

It is a similar chord progression, and the very end of the solo is similar to the build up right before “so sally can wait”. I wouldn’t call it a rip off, more of an homage. They are both great songs. Some oasis songs sound similar to their influences. This could be intentional or accidental. Music and humans are wonderful and interesting.
@@drainedeyes4268 the pillows rock, this song rocks, even your explanation on interpolation rocks, but respectfully... saying this song is light years ahead of DLBIA is a trash ass take and the pillows would probably agree
Even though you're gone now, just know that we're still with you. Long live at0msk, the pirate king! Please help me pass this on through the pillows and FLCL community!!
sharinganchidori100 Just to let people know, he's not dead... at least I hope he's not :( His account was banned recently for copyright. His channel had over 200 songs from the pillows.
KawiiPenguin i knowww!!!!! i hope the pillows make a return with the new seasons. they just released a new album too. i'm setting my expectations low enough so that hopefully i'm not too disappointed if it becomes some cash-cow disaster.
Im going to listen to this song while i smoke my last cigarette im 24 years old We only have one life, so i wanna live long enough to see everyone grow we all have been through so much I love.. You all...
I've never heard anything so triumphant, yet melancholy, and knowing the lyrics makes it even more so. I'd say it perfectly captures how living feels, cheesy as that may sound.
Can i honestly say that FLCL came to the states at a right time for us? Most of us were going through puberty and this anime had a very distinct style that made us feel...unique :D
Saw them live at Anime Central some years ago. This song had been the alarm on my alarm clock for some time then, and it was what I woke up to every time. I hold it very close to my heart. When they played the opening chords... I cried.
1:05 AND SOOOOOOOO SALLY CAN WAIIIT SHE KNOWS IT'S TOO LATE AS WE'RE WALKING ON BY MY SOUUUUUL SLIDES AWAY BUT DON'T LOOK BAAAACK IN ANGER I HEARD YA SAY
ive listen to this song on our way to our marching band semi final, not know it will be the end or not, either way it dose´nt devalue all the memories we had practicing and all the mischief we got into, this song will forever be linked to me that way.
The bridge episode brought me here. I don't know, I just loved that moment. So iconic. The place. The people. The scene. And this song. 💖 Adding this on my playlist. Much love from the Philippines 🇵🇭💖
I used to be absolutely obsessed with The Pillows during my high school years. And FLCL. Probably listened to all their albums and watched FLCL like over 10 times at least. I imported the Stroll and Roll album in 2016 and since then haven't kept up with the band as much as I used to. But some of their songs have a lot of meaning if you look up the lyrics--especially this song in particular. Their lyrics can be very existential but also playful at times. Sometimes, especially during the early 90s, they could be mellow to the point of being unrecognizable as being the Pillows, like is this really them? I need to get back into listening to the Pillows more often again. They are excellent but I have to say thank god FLCL introduced me to them or I would have never heard about them. I would put the Pillows on par with just about any american alt rock band out there.
English lyrics here If the blue poppy's petals are swaying without any wind It's all thanks to my sigh. I don't know for sure, but it's gotta be. Wrapped up in the darkness of every day, chained by my freedom The dreams we had together were so bright, I could no longer look myself in the face directly. **There's only one thing I can see in my filthy mirror A light that's no illusion... you are my light. Taking off my twisted armor, I'm a snail who's started on a journey Getting struck by the rain wears me out, but I'm not turning back. Once again, I've been spit out from a town-colored mirage I'd like to just laugh it off and make the excuse That it's all because my toes are too big, and they got in the way No matter what kind of shoes I wear, if I walk, I leave footprints And until one day they stop, they're the proof that I'll finish... ...One life **Repeat Some day, all those memories we can't touch, we'll lose them But even if you leave no shape behind... you are my light. *Repeat
ONE LIFE & THANK YOU, MY TWILIGHT. Watched FLCL OVA back when I was younger. Rewatched it along with Progressive and Alternative. I feel sad now that it ended. Every protagonist of the anime just live an ordinary life just like you and me, expecting nothing special to happen in their lives, meanwhile wishing things would stay the same and not change over time. To someone like me it's relatable. I hope I overflow someday and something amazing happens. P. S. This song is low key similar to Oasis - Don't look back in Anger
well actually so was i but stuff like getting the pillows back for the st seems like maybe itll be good ! attention to detail like that usually is a part of good sequels yknow
Sato looks young as hell in these old videos and so very very old now. I'd say that it seems like Sawao lost his "babyface" around the "Penalty Life" era. Manabe ages fairly consistently.
The soul reaches a toe curling bliss as I listen to the tunes and rivets of this song. Only for a moment reaching a peace of heart and mind in the long span of my day to day life once in a while
The translation of the lyrics in english; got them out of a website, I'd like to believe they are an accurate translation but I have no actual way of knowing, putting them up anyways as the lyrics still seem rather...well, awesome: If the blue poppy's petals Are swaying without any wind It's all thanks to my sigh.

dont speak japanese but now as an adult readig the lyrics of different pillows songs i find myself struck by how the emotion i got from them is pretty much in line with the lyrics of the music. Just shows that words are just the medium. human emotion is the same everywhere. you dont need the words to know what they're saying.
@@broidk8291 Not gatekeep, but FLCL did ruin a generation of otakus that believed they were mature, edgy, and all that shit for having watched it, and we don't need that again. If anything, the songs would stick for a while, and be completely forgotten after some months, trends nowadays don't last.
@@alexeigoldschmith People will always have some random reason to think that they're edgy tho, be it Evangelion, FLCL, SNK or even frickin Sonic the Hedgehog, if anything the best part is that when those 13 years old kids watch something like this they'll treasure and once they're all grown-up they'll keep dearly remembering things like those, even if they aren't the best, are overrated or plainly bad on some cases, at least these works will keep going on forever as they'll be an important for us over the years. The best thing would be for something viral so some random kid might as well find what could be their favorite band until the last of their days.
Okay, Seriously guys, I've noticed something over the past few months about this song, and the Oasis song, "Don't Look Back In Anger" they both sound really similar, and the music video similarities are even weirder, Both start out with a chair in the opening, both feature the front man wearing glasses and almost having a john lennon-esque look about them, And, The songs sound similar just in general, i always thought it was weird, i'm not an oasis , just something me and my brother noticed.
解散なってもずっと好きです

I posted this in another thread in these comments, but I'm seeing a lot of these comparisons so I'm pasting it here too ~
It's a very similar chord progression and song feel, but it actually wouldn't be considered a rip off musically or legally (they'd have to argue it in court), but most likely this would be technically considered an interpolation. They are in the same key, similar chord progressions, but One Life contains more chords, thus more movements in the piece, and would probably be considered more complex musically. There's an extra Cm7, Dm, C7, A7, and G# chord in One Life, though they share a few of the same basic chords, C, F, G, Em, etc. You get what I'm saying lol.
Interpolation in music is essentially this, you're outright inspired by a piece of music, but you want to make it your own - so you could either change the key (they didn't here, but C is also the most common and foundation of modern music theory), add some new chords to add different colors, or you could change the tempo to give it a new feel - which the Pillows did, they took it from 81 to 91 BPM.
Interpolation in music is very common, we're all listening to a lot of the same music these days, and we love to mimic patterns we like when we're inspired. I don't at all feel it's morally objectionable unless it's not transformative. If the interpolation isn't transformative, if it doesn't build upon the original and make it something new, then it's much less defensible, and it goes from interpolation to stealing copyright (whether intentional or unintentional by law). That being said, when interpolation is discovered in court, it usually means the new artist will pay some percentage of royalties to the original artist - because although it isn't stealing, it is creating something that wouldn't have been created without the original piece. It is a respected practice, though.
Sorry for the long music nerd comment, just sharing for the sake of it.
Also, I have to say, One Life is light years better than the Oasis track, so much more moving emotionally. I've also never been a fan of Oasis, though, their stuff has always kinda bored me compared to other acts of their time, Nirvana, Green Day, RHCP, etc. The apathy I get from Oasis is not nearly as charming as what I get out of The Pillows. The Pillows don't give me this, "I'm too cool for this", vibe, instead, I get a, "The world around us is apathetic, and maybe we're not cool for still caring, but we still care" kinda vibe if that makes any sense at all lol.
I can't believe it I didnt notice it before, the glasses worn by the singer are a hint at one point.
It is a similar chord progression, and the very end of the solo is similar to the build up right before “so sally can wait”. I wouldn’t call it a rip off, more of an homage. They are both great songs. Some oasis songs sound similar to their influences. This could be intentional or accidental. Music and humans are wonderful and interesting.
@@drainedeyes4268 the pillows rock, this song rocks, even your explanation on interpolation rocks, but respectfully... saying this song is light years ahead of DLBIA is a trash ass take and the pillows would probably agree
My favorite song by one of my favorite bands.
Also FLCL is, in my opinion, the best anime ever made.
何回も挫けそうになって負けそうになってる時にこの曲聴いて涙した・・・・。今でもいい曲だと思う。
最近フリクリを見た。やっぱBGMって大事なんだな、って思った。この曲とfunny bunnyのシーンは特に好き。あの雰囲気はピロウズにしか作れない
最高にうまいですよね、あのアニメの雰囲気の作り方と挿入歌の入れ方
何でだろう？普段は曲を聴いて涙が出ることなんてないのに、この曲を聴いていると涙が止まらない。
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING AND ALL OF THE WONDERFUL MEMORIES AND MELODIES
Thanks to FLCL for introduce to this awesome band back in the day
+Cesar Diaz same here
YEEEEEEEEEEES
Now listen to Oasis
Even though you're gone now, just know that we're still with you. Long live at0msk, the pirate king! Please help me pass this on through the pillows and FLCL community!!
Poor pirate king dude :/ Long live at0msk.
sharinganchidori100 Just to let people know, he's not dead... at least I hope he's not :(
His account was banned recently for copyright. His channel had over 200 songs from the pillows.
kopopo23 I know man. I listened to every song on his channel and I supported him.
+kopopo23 season 2 and 3 hype!
KawiiPenguin i knowww!!!!! i hope the pillows make a return with the new seasons. they just released a new album too. i'm setting my expectations low enough so that hopefully i'm not too disappointed if it becomes some cash-cow disaster.
Im going to listen to this song while i smoke my last cigarette im 24 years old We only have one life, so i wanna live long enough to see everyone grow we all have been through so much I love.. You all...
汚れた僕の鏡で写せるたった1つの偽物じゃない光、君は僕の光
って、書けないよなぁ
25年以上も前なのに衝撃だったの鮮明に覚えてるな
Thank You, The Pillows, for this 35 years. We'll miss You 💖🫶😭
I've never heard anything so triumphant, yet melancholy, and knowing the lyrics makes it even more so. I'd say it perfectly captures how living feels, cheesy as that may sound.
I 10000000% agree with you. This song is so bittersweet it fucking hurts so good😭😭😭
今、ピロウズにハマった高校3年生です。彼らの音楽には時代を超えて感じる素晴らしいものがあると思います！！
They’ve been my favorite Japanese band for 20 years! (Since I was in high school!)
Wow! What a wonderful story. I want to listen to this song even when I grow up.
“Everything is just ordinary...” this was my childhood. Miss the feeling of innocence lol
This song and many of The Pillows songs connect to my soul.
今まで聴いた曲で1番好き
歌詞が神がかってる。
The Pillows are like a Japanese Oasis!
Can i honestly say that FLCL came to the states at a right time for us? Most of us were going through puberty and this anime had a very distinct style that made us feel...unique :D
Bingo. that's the thing right there. that's why it was so profound! And why the remake will just not be the same..
reason #3 to love the internet: even tho i was born in '99, i can still find gems like flcl to enjoy
The new seasons are gonna suck. FLCL was so amazing cause it was unique and complete. The new seasons aren't gonna do it justice.
MrFraknak I hope you're wrong :P
MrFraknak as much as I hope you are wrong you're probably right
Ahhh yes, I can see Mamimi hanging out with Takkun under that bridge clear as day... ^_^
I still hear Naota saying "Nothing special happens here."
Thnak you for 35 years!!
Thank you guys for all the great music
There is something about The Pillows' songs that hits you from heart, not many bands are able to do this. That's why they're one of my favorite bands.
歌聴いてて泣いたの初めてだわ
2000年にフリクリで出会い、今でも一番大好きな曲です。結成35周年おめでとうございます。
追記）35年の歴史のうち約24年分だけではありますが、ピロウズの音楽と同じ時間に生きていられたことを大切に思います。思い出をたくさんありがとうございました
Still my favorite Japanese band almost 25 years later, thank you Gainax 🎉
未来人やん！
I absolutely love this song. It invokes strange feelings in me. It makes me miss on a girlfriend I never had.
I’ve listened to this first and then heard Dont Look Back At Anger and I was like “wow this song sounds like One Life”
どんな靴を履いてても 歩けば僕の足跡
失敗ばかりの人生だけどしっかりと足跡つけて歩いてますよ
これが僕の足跡だと誇ってもいいですよね？
the pillowsの中で一番好きだな～
カラオケでもたまに歌う。
Saw them live at Anime Central some years ago. This song had been the alarm on my alarm clock for some time then, and it was what I woke up to every time. I hold it very close to my heart.
When they played the opening chords... I cried.
im from mexico and i love this song
the pillows greats !
I have no idea what they are saying in the chorus, but I feel it.
1:05
AND SOOOOOOOO
SALLY CAN WAIIIT
SHE KNOWS IT'S TOO LATE
AS WE'RE WALKING ON BY
MY SOUUUUUL SLIDES AWAY
BUT DON'T LOOK BAAAACK IN ANGER
I HEARD YA SAY
Gracias por estos 35 años, máximo respeto y agradecimientos desde México 🇲🇽 Hontoni arigato gozaimasu!!!!!
ну что сказать, в 2020 это всё так же офигенно
Как и в 2021 бро. Даже не зная аниме (это не так) я люблю эту группу и буду любить.
Ohhh! Directo a los sentimientos.... No sé vale jugar así con los recuerdos 💔🖤
Love this Band Wish they would come to the U.S where I'm at
ive listen to this song on our way to our marching band semi final, not know it will be the end or not, either way it dose´nt devalue all the memories we had practicing and all the mischief we got into, this song will forever be linked to me that way.
just watched episode 1 again, i teared up really bad just with the first scene
Early 2000s vibe is very strong in this one... Miss old times...
The bridge episode brought me here. I don't know, I just loved that moment. So iconic.
The place.
The people.
The scene.
And this song. 💖
Adding this on my playlist.
Much love from the Philippines 🇵🇭💖
I used to be absolutely obsessed with The Pillows during my high school years. And FLCL. Probably listened to all their albums and watched FLCL like over 10 times at least. I imported the Stroll and Roll album in 2016 and since then haven't kept up with the band as much as I used to. But some of their songs have a lot of meaning if you look up the lyrics--especially this song in particular. Their lyrics can be very existential but also playful at times. Sometimes, especially during the early 90s, they could be mellow to the point of being unrecognizable as being the Pillows, like is this really them?
I need to get back into listening to the Pillows more often again. They are excellent but I have to say thank god FLCL introduced me to them or I would have never heard about them. I would put the Pillows on par with just about any american alt rock band out there.
This song is pure beauty & saddness T-T
yet, I can't stop playing it! xD
The Pillows
“Nothing amazing happens here. Everything is ordinary.”
English lyrics here
If the blue poppy's petals are swaying without any wind
It's all thanks to my sigh. I don't know for sure, but it's gotta be.
Wrapped up in the darkness of every day, chained by my freedom
The dreams we had together were so bright,
I could no longer look myself in the face directly.
**There's only one thing I can see in my filthy mirror
A light that's no illusion... you are my light.
Taking off my twisted armor, I'm a snail who's started on a journey
Getting struck by the rain wears me out, but I'm not turning back.
Once again, I've been spit out from a town-colored mirage
I'd like to just laugh it off and make the excuse
That it's all because my toes are too big, and they got in the way
No matter what kind of shoes I wear, if I walk, I leave footprints
And until one day they stop, they're the proof that I'll finish...
...One life
**Repeat
Some day, all those memories we can't touch, we'll lose them
But even if you leave no shape behind... you are my light.
*Repeat
ONE LIFE & THANK YOU, MY TWILIGHT.
Watched FLCL OVA back when I was younger. Rewatched it along with Progressive and Alternative. I feel sad now that it ended. Every protagonist of the anime just live an ordinary life just like you and me, expecting nothing special to happen in their lives, meanwhile wishing things would stay the same and not change over time.
To someone like me it's relatable.
I hope I overflow someday and something amazing happens.
P. S. This song is low key similar to Oasis - Don't look back in Anger
作詞：山中沢男
作曲：山中沢男
青い芥子の花びらが 風もなく揺れてたら
僕のタメ息のせいだ 憶えてないけど きっとそうさ
日常の闇にくるまり 自由に縛られて
キミと夢を見た眩しさで
自分の顔 まともに覗けなくなった
汚れた僕の鏡で 写せるたった一つの
偽者じゃない光 キミは僕の光
ねじれた鎧を脱いで 旅に出た蝸牛
雨にその身を打たれて すり減るけど 戻らないぜ
街色の蜃気楼から また 吐き出された
やっぱりブカブカのつま先が
邪魔だからだよって ごまかしたいけど
どんな靴を履いてても 歩けば僕の足跡
立ち止まればそれまで 僕が終わる印
汚れた僕の鏡で 写せるたった一つの
偽者じゃない光 キミは僕の光
さわれないその記憶は いつか失くしてしまうだろう
形は残らなくても キミは僕の光
青い芥子の花びらが 風もなく揺れてたら
僕のタメ息のせいだ 憶えてないけど きっとそうさ
Thank You
With FLCL coming back on TV again, I really hope they bring this band in for the soundtrack!
Unfortunately im pretty sure the word is they won't be. :(
twitter.com/Clarknova1/status/713154411254538240?ref_src=twsrc
They will be!
They're back ;)
I have mixed feelings about it returning. The first one was so perfect.
well actually so was i but stuff like getting the pillows back for the st seems like maybe itll be good ! attention to detail like that usually is a part of good sequels yknow
この歌は最高。
Sato looks young as hell in these old videos and so very very old now. I'd say that it seems like Sawao lost his "babyface" around the "Penalty Life" era. Manabe ages fairly consistently.
William Lim s
This was the song that actually made me want to watch flcl! Thank you for this masterpiece
This is My chill out song Most definitly
This is 100% the chord progression for dont look back in anger lol
Yes, so much so that if you listen to the songs at the same time there is not much difference.
The soul reaches a toe curling bliss as I listen to the tunes and rivets of this song. Only for a moment reaching a peace of heart and mind in the long span of my day to day life once in a while
I still remember buying one of the OSTs for FLCL randomly one day and falling in love with this band. Damn you, nostalgia!
amo esta cancion, GRANDE THE PILLOWS
2:30 That swell just fills you up somehow
Absolutely love that guitar solo
I couldn't find this song for the longest. Finally found it, this one's my favorite.
神曲
The translation of the lyrics in english; got them out of a website, I'd like to believe they are an accurate translation but I have no actual way of knowing, putting them up anyways as the lyrics still seem rather...well, awesome:
If the blue poppy's petals
Are swaying without any wind
It's all thanks to my sigh.
I don't know for sure, but it's gotta be.
Wrapped up in the darkness of every day,
Chained by my freedom
The dreams we had together were so bright,
I could no longer look myself in the face directly.
There's only one thing
I can see in my filthy mirror
A light that's no illusion...
You are my light.
Taking off my twisted armor,
I'm a snail who's started on a journey
Getting struck by the rain wears me out,
But I'm not turning back.
Once again, I've been spit out from a town-colored mirage
I'd like to just laugh it off and make the excuse
That it's all because my toes are too big,
And they got in the way
No matter what kind of shoes I wear,
If I walk, I leave footprints
And until one day they stop, they're the proof that I'll finish...
...One life
There's only one thing
I can see in my filthy mirror
A light that's no illusion...
You are my light.
Some day, all those memories we can't touch,
We'll lose them
But even if you leave no shape behind...
You are my light.
If the blue poppy's petals
Are swaying without any wind
It's all thanks to my sigh.
I don't know for sure, but it's gotta be.
dont speak japanese but now as an adult readig the lyrics of different pillows songs i find myself struck by how the emotion i got from them is pretty much in line with the lyrics of the music. Just shows that words are just the medium. human emotion is the same everywhere. you dont need the words to know what they're saying.
This music video and the lyrics hit the nail on the head.
Ultimate song
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Not much can top One Life.
i love the pillows ,,, FROM ARGENTINA!!🔷⬜🔷
Im so happy that flcl came and slapped me in my face as a child. I used to listen to the pillows everyday!!! Wish they came to America to perform lol.
I heard they aren't as good anymore. Its been 20 years so i guess it makes sense.
I would totally hate it if the pillows went viral on TikTok because these songs give me so much comfort and I feel it would be violated if it did
would be cool to get their name out though :)
No need to gatekeep good music man
Quit gatekeeping bro they make amazing music that should be heard by all
@@broidk8291 Not gatekeep, but FLCL did ruin a generation of otakus that believed they were mature, edgy, and all that shit for having watched it, and we don't need that again. If anything, the songs would stick for a while, and be completely forgotten after some months, trends nowadays don't last.
@@alexeigoldschmith People will always have some random reason to think that they're edgy tho, be it Evangelion, FLCL, SNK or even frickin Sonic the Hedgehog, if anything the best part is that when those 13 years old kids watch something like this they'll treasure and once they're all grown-up they'll keep dearly remembering things like those, even if they aren't the best, are overrated or plainly bad on some cases, at least these works will keep going on forever as they'll be an important for us over the years. The best thing would be for something viral so some random kid might as well find what could be their favorite band until the last of their days.
Okay, Seriously guys, I've noticed something over the past few months about this song, and the Oasis song, "Don't Look Back In Anger" they both sound really similar, and the music video similarities are even weirder, Both start out with a chair in the opening, both feature the front man wearing glasses and almost having a john lennon-esque look about them, And, The songs sound similar just in general, i always thought it was weird, i'm not an oasis , just something me and my brother noticed.
Lol they're literally Japan's Oasis
oasia?
I thought they were more like Japanese Weezer
if they took weezer and oasis and put them in some cool japanese blender
You're wrong, Oasis are british Pillows !
The Pillows was formed in 1987, this single was made in 1997
