In 2005 the Pillows performed in the United States for the first time at the South by Southwest music festival. The Pillows penned a new track, "Ride a Shooting Star," for the closing theme.
#The pillows discography series
The series followed the travails of a 12-year-old boy, Naota, who meets a guitar-wielding, Vespa-riding woman. The Pillows found a wider international audience when their songs were featured in the Gainax-produced anime FLCL, broadcast in the United States in 2000. Lost Man (1997), the Pillows signed to King Records, and the same took their live show to London. A burgeoning fan base was cemented with the release of the 1996 single "Strange Chameleon," which today remains a cult favorite among longtime fans of the band. The Pillows debuted in 1991 with the album Moon Gold, although the band's early reputation was built upon a frenetic nationwide touring schedule that was matched only by the intensity of their performances. Over the course of their career, the Pillows have left a considerable stamp on the Japanese alternative rock scene, as evidenced by the release of a 2004 tribute album that saw various Japanese pop and rock luminaries pay them homage. Outside of their homeland, the band is best known for its soundtrack to the anime series FLCL (pronounced "furi-kuri").
With the release of the RUNNERS HIGH and HAPPY BIVOUAC records, we now have a discography page for 2018! Both records have been added in the discography and the 2017 page has been updated.Formed in Japan's northernmost province of Hokkaido at a time when most of their Tokyo contemporaries were in thrall to the sounds of Seattle, Japanese three-piece the Pillows sidestepped the loud-soft dynamic to provide a more wholesome take on the alternative rock scene, inspired by the lyrical folk-rock of Simon & Garfunkel and classic British pop, from the Beatles to the Jam.
