Yes. The Pillows. This is not a stupid thread, but is in fact a very important one...to me anyway.

The Pillows were the ones that played the theme songs for the anime FLCL [Fooly Cooly] [Furi Kuri]. Because I am an anime fan, I desired to get the anime FLCL on DVD! In my HANDS!! Because I was desperate to WATCH IT!! Even knowing that I had a lot of homework to do for the HSC course. But, who can resist anime?

Anyway, I started doing researching on FLCL on the internet since I didn't have time to go out for this desired anime. While researching on FLCL...I found The Pillows.

Without The Pillows, I would not have converted to crappy pop music to JRock and English Rock. Without The Pillows, I wouldn't have been able to sleep the normal 6hrs per night. Without The Pillows, I wouldn't have found my new obsession. Without The Pillows, I wouldn't have changed the idea or theme of my Major Textiles Project. Without The Pillows...............................

SO! It was anime and The Pillows that made me change my type of music. That I finally found/recognised/realised (realised?)/felt/saw with my heart THE BEAUTY OF ROCK and JRock.

The title of this should not be labelled as The Pillows, right? Because...I wonder...

Has anyone...changed...or converted from one type of music (e.g pop) to another different type of music (like the beauty of Rock) ?? Regardless of language??

If so, what and/or who influenced you to 'suddenly' change?

By the way, does anyone know of The Pillows?

DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE PILLOWS!!

the pillows are a lot of fun, but keep digging. there are a shit load of better japanese bands out there in many different genres

 

[Pokute-san]

Yeah. I just started. So I'm still researching. A certain friend recommended me Psycho le Cemu. Are they Indie Rock?? Hmm.

I havent converted, rather branched out and just listen to more music.

 

[tempco]

asy, you're a beast.

 

[neo o]

the pillows are a lot of fun, but keep digging. there are a shit load of better japanese bands out there in many different genres

Not everyone can become a Merzbow or Sigh fan. Loudness are one of my favourite Japanese bands.

 

[sketches]

Psycho le Cemu! I love them. Listen to them now! You will fall in love with their cosplay-ness!

 

[Pokute-san]

The Pillows...they have nice legs. But Psycho le Cemu have better ones. But I don't like their music.

Daisuke Ishiwatari - [Guilty Gear X Heavy Rock Tracks]

Give those a listen, quite a good OST
