RUSH／the pillows

[@terraterra4514]

学生の頃、カセットテープからMDに変えた時に初めてMDに入れた曲です！解散は驚きです・・

[@himura.kensin]

発売された1999年秋、当時僕は中学3年生だった。お金がかなった僕は、テレビのCDTVをビデオ録画して、それをカセットレコーダーにつないで録音して、毎日聞いていた。友達と一緒に聞いていた。 勉強なんかできなかったあの頃、この歌のギターサウンドに、何も努力してないくせに未来に夢が膨らんだ。秋雨の肌寒い中を、自転車に乗ってウォークマンでこれを聞いて大声で歌っていた。友達がバカだって大声で笑ってた。それが楽しくて叫んで歌って帰る毎日だった。 好きな女の子の心の扉を開きたくて、たいして中も良くなかったのに告白して振られた日、雨が降っていて、真冬の土砂降りだったのに、この歌をきいて大声で歌ってた。友達が一緒に歌ってくれた。悲しくなんてかなった。友達がいて、この歌があったから。 大人になった今、耐えきれないくらいやるせないことが多くて胸が痛くて、迷うことばかりで逃げ出したくなるけど、まだ夢の途中と思い出した。 24年ぶりに聞いたこの歌が、「あの雲の向こうに自分を連れ出すのは今の自分」なんだって気づかせてくれた。 24年ぶりに勇気をくれたこの歌に、心からありがとう。ピローズ最高ですね。 アルバム買い集めます。ちゃんと新品で。

ボロッボロになって、大好きなロックが、何にも聴けなくなって、感情がほぼ、無くなった時にpillowsだけ聴けた。この歌で、やっと涙がでた。助けてくれた曲

[@JasonUmbrellabird]

Our band The Seers played with The Pillows in Japan 90-91. Great guys and top musicians. Hello to Pea Yoshiaki, Shinichiro, Kenji and Sawao. 22 albums later? What an amazing career they've had. Well done guys.

[@bootlegdagut]

Just listened to some of your band's stuff, very much enjoyed them

[@EagerKangaroo-wh9ld]

They had 22 albums?!

[@numburger]

The '916' on the drummers shirt is supposed to reference the day The Pillows formed: September 16, 1989. He's wearing it because 1999, the year this song came out, was the bands 10 year anniversary

[@hijay8501]

that's so cool! Where did u find out about that?

[@numburger]

@@hijay8501 Back when I made that original comment I was a HUGE pillows fan One time I read their whole wikipedia page and after that I just knew random pillows trivia like when they formed off hand so when I noticed Sato's shirt and what it meant I was quick to comment it lol

[@Jack-sp9wr]

最後に笑った記憶 思い出せない程 抜殻みたいな彼女 すっかり変わった街で 育ててる孤独を 僕にわけてくれないか 元通りのキミが見たい 閉ざされた彼女のドアを 壊れる程 何度もノックした こわがらないで ほら キミは自由 このやまない雨に 濡れながら行こう がっかりしないでほしい したたかな動物に 目隠しされたとしても 心配しなくたっていい キミだけの光を 感じれるようになれるさ 隠れている場合じゃない 凍てついた彼女の空に 少しだけ 青いスキマが こわがらないで ほら きみは自由 このやまない雨に 濡れながら行こう 大人になった悲しみに 耐えきれず胸が痛くても 迷わないで まだ夢の途中 あの雲の向こうに 今 キミを連れ出したい

[@orialtman6176]

Everyone always says "Japanese Weezer" but they're really more like The Pixies or Blur or Oasis.

[@Remembrancer]

I’ve heard them called the Japanese Oasis once before.

[@numburger]

They're definitely more inline with The Pixies, especially on the album where this song comes from. There's two tracks called Backseat Dog and Kim Deal which are literally just homages to The Pixies

[@mukmewx]

Oasis? wht duhfuc?

[@Housenka03]

The pillows are quite similar to weezer with their pixies influenced power pop tho I see where ur coming from. I've always though of sawao as if rivers cuomo was japanese and listened to more britpop

[@lcross796]

AKFG is Japanese Weezer

[@hey-itsmc_chub6207]

This band is fucking amazing even though I speak Spanish and live in America.

[@constructivist6]

hi from three years later, they sure are and I have no idea what they're singing in japanese.

[@numburger]

@@constructivist6 Hi from another three years. The song is basically about this friend of a girl who's a shell of their former self. Said friend just wants her to enjoy life like she used to with them. The lyrics are actually pretty sweet ngl

Saigo ni warrata kioku omoidasenai hodo nukara mitai na kanojo sukkari kawatta machi de sodateteru kodoku o boku ni wakete kurenai ka moto toori no kimi ga mitai Can't remember the last time you laughed just the shell of a girl Can you take me away from the loneliness of a town that's changed so much since I've grown up I want to see a brighter you. Tozasareta kanojo no DOOR o kowareru hodo nando mo KNOCK shita C'MON! kowagaranai de hora! kimi wa jiyuu kono yamanai ame ni nure nagara ikou On the door that she had closed tight, I knocked till I thought it'd break. C'MON! Don't be afraid Look! You're free so let's run through this pouring rain while getting soaked. Gakkari shinai de hoshii shitata kana doubutsu ni me kakushi sareta toshite mo shinpai shinakutta tte ii kimi dake no hikari o kanjireru you ni nareru sa kakurete iru baai janai I don't want to disappoint you even as a stubborn beast that has been blindfolded you don't have to worry Because only your light I can still come to feel it. You shouldn't hide it anymore. Itetsuita kanojo no sora ni sukoshi dake aoi sukima ga C'MON! kowagaranai de hora! kimi wa jiyuu kono yamanai ame ni nure nagara ikou In the frozen sky of the girl just a small crack of blue...

[@JohnSmith-nz1vj]

This song is excellent. It makes me wonder about how many different songs I am missing out on because it is in a different language and/or the poetry and beauty of the song is lost in translation. I know this applies to a lot of non-English speaker since so much internationally released music are in English. Any thoughts?

[@inkoinfinity2]

True I've always been interested in classics (movies and especially songs) and it makes me wonder what great songs we could be missing out on.
