J-Band of the Week: the pillows

Yes, yes…  I know that it has been over two weeks since my last J-band post, but I’m back.  actually I have been working on a couple other articles for my new job (but you’ll find out about that later.)

Anyway, this week I bring you the pillows.  Yes, their name is not capitalized.  That is not a mistake.  They were brought into the mainstream through the anime Fooly Cooly or FLCL. They did basically the entire soundtrack for this short, but wonderful, anime series.  Their music fits in perfectly with the “slice of life” over-the-top story about adolescence and love.

The end theme is by far their most well known song.  It carries a string rock sound and is just fun to listen to.

Hybrid Rainbow is a little bit more solemn, but still wonderful.
