The Pillows

The Pillows is known from the Furi Kuri- soundtrack. The band was started by Yamanaka Sawao (vocals), Sato Shinichirou (drums), Kenji Ueda (bass) and Manabe Yoshiaki (guitar) already in 1989. After a few years the bassist Kenji left to pursue a career as a producer, so The Pillows continued as a trio.

In the beginning the band earned themselves a loyal fan base with their energetic gigs and catchy songs, but a really big success waited until the year 1997 and a record called Please Mr. Lostman. Getting on the Furi Kuri-soundtrack sealed the deal for The Pillows as a famous band all over the world.
