<3 Japan Pt. 1 - the pillows
Saturday, May 17, 2008

Because I love Japanese music so much and because I have nothing else to write about ever, I'm going to force my love upon the rest of you. Every day I'll put up a random band I love and a favorite song/video. I only pick out funny/interesting videos so I hope you'll watch and see something you might never have looked up yourself.

Artist: the pillows
Song: "Ride on Shooting Star"
Genre: indie poprock
Make it to: 1:01
Feels like: Riding your bike down a hill into the ocean at full speed.



The band plays their song while some puppets watch. It's pretty sill, especially the ridiculous glasses. I first heard this song in the anime show Fooly Cooly. The band pretty much became an international success after that show introduced the rest of the the world to their music. Like everyone else, I fell in love. ^_^

Please to enjoy :)
