The vocals awed me with how good and close they sound to the originals, despite being another language altogether. The instrumental is also absolutely solid, perfectly complementing the fantastic vocals.
When your brain still thinks you are listening to the opening lyric in Japanese for a few seconds, but it’s actually in English, it’s the hallmark of a cover that could’ve been made by The Pillows themselves.
Thanks! Im a big fan of John Darnielle's song writing and voice. On this note, there's one "secret" Pillows cover I did thats on music streaming services but not UA-cam that came out VERY Mountain Goats-ish after my tweaking of translation to make it fit.
The lyrics sounds like a chuunibyo type of person is singing. The way I feel, even though the lyrics might have a “burn the whole world down, destructive nihilism in the face of hopelessness” type of message like you said, I think that precisely because the song is so upbeat and the way it’s utilized in FLCL, that the singer is actually trying to cope with loneliness at a point in their life where it’s finally time to grow up and be brave enough to forge connections with others. I think all of the lyrics where they are saying to “burn it all down” or they want to be left alone are just lies and delusional thoughts they’re telling themselves. The only line where they’re telling how they truly feel is: “Just want to be myself Feeling strength in what I am No matter who I’m with or where yeah Right now now now” In truth, the singer wants to be seen, wants to be heard, but they need to take that first step themselves…because nobody would see or hear them if they didn’t. And maybe, it’s finally time. At least that’s what I think. Also, well done. I’m definitely listening to this from now on, it’s amazing. Last Dinosaur is my favorite song by the pillows.
Last Dinosaur is one of my favorite songs from the OST. I fucking love it. And you managed to make a cover that I didn't think was shit. This cover is impressive, and really shows your capabilities in translations, in timing and everything else that makes the song sound amazing but I don't know the exact terms. It's splendid. Good job.
You're a legend! I can't get over how similar the vocals sound to Yamanaka's despite being in a different language. It messes with my brain, in a cool way!
This song means a lot to me, thanks for doing such a good cover of it! Captures the vibe perfectly and keeps the meter strong too without it feeling too weird. We truly love to see it!
Fantastic cover of one of my favorite songs. Videoing the percussion (primarily) was interesting, since I think of The Pillows as the singer (Sawao) and the lead guitarist (Manabe). But this track in particular had some great percussion. Awesome!
Thanks so much! I have a few more planned in the pipeline in this series then will see where I'm at. Check out the rest of my vids if you haven't heard the others yet!
This deserves SO MUCH MORE ATTENTION AND LOVE!! YOU FUCKING NAILED THIS!!!

this is absolutely amazing well done
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR !!!!
Very impressive vocal technique! It sounds like if The Mountian Goats did a cover of this song, youve got awesome power and dictation with those pipes

Completely underrated and amazing cover!
I never imagined an English cover of this song could be so true to the original you did fantastic, I hope The Pillows saw this..
It is so amazing to find people that play flcl songs on drums. Keep up the great work! (And you just earned another subscriber).
First time i listened I thought it was the original artist singing in English. Not sure you could have nailed the vocals any better
You just earned a sub. May you receive a million more.
This sounds fantastic! Great job!
Thank you so much

Good job man! This sounds really good and I was wondering if you think you could do "Beautiful Morning With You" by The Pillows as well?
good cover but the drums are weak. there's no drum rolls or anything like in the original
