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've never heard their music, but I've heard a lot about them. I keep meaning to get something of theirs, but I always forget to. What type of music is it?

mostly guitar stuff... kind of rock/pop/punk sounds, but with some other more mellow stuff done specifically for the soundtrack. mostly rock/pop/punk though. you'll like it when I post some.
