The Pillows

[timepiececlock]

... are a Japanese band. More specifically, they're the band that provided the music of FLCL, or Fooly Cooly.

I happened to have my FLCL burned soundtrack in my truck when I was driving my Uncle Kerry and his son Josh around a few days ago, in Oregon. Family reunion, remember.

My uncle went bonkers over the music. He loved it. He used to play guitar and drums for several years, so he's a music buff. And he said he'd even heard of their name (but never heard their actual music). That kinda surprised me because I had never heard of The Pillows until I watched FLCL and got interested in the music.

I know why he likes it though-- I adore it myself. It's so singable, even though I don't speak Japanese so I'm probably not singing it right. And the instrumental stuff too, where there's nothing to sing... I love it so much.

I think sometime soon I'll put up a few of their songs for LJ, vocal and instrumental.

I love blasting Japanese pop (usually stuff I get from anime) in my car because it's not what people expect me to be listening to.
