For me, FLCL holds a special spot. It hits home about the confusion of growing up, you realize people are just people, you're not special but not entirely irrelevant, you never really grow up (another stupid adult), things like that. It's my top anime for personal reasons, even in front of Bebop. The song was picked since it embodies wanting to see horizons for yourself. like the lyric "Sniper What do you say that you can see in that framed world? I want to touch it before you aim."
the original choice for the ending was One life actually, but the pillows were sceptical about the project or something, and they were like "no not one life use this one"
@@Calebe311 I mean, it absolutely does deserve a lot of respect and affection. Cowboy Bebop and anime originals of the 90's really opened up what anime "is". That and a pretty banger soundtrack as well could easily put it at the top of anime for a lot of people - there's nothing wrong with it.
The beginning guitar rift is the most iconic guitar rift in my life. Anytime I hear it I know exactly what song is about to play. Good memories watching FLCL and Paranoia Agent late at night while everyone else was asleep. Back when there was no care other than what mom was making for dinner...
Some of the best songs are barely over 2 mins long. The three minute or more mandate that too many artists subscribe to just weakens the majority of songs. A lot of unnecessary fat that undermines the best parts of the song. At 2 minutes you gotta make sure everything there is strong or else don't bother. This song could easily be stretched to 3 mins but I very much doubt the extension would contribute anything of worth and instead would make an exceptional song "just" great.
I think we can all agree, FLCL has touched all of our hearts with the songs they’ve used and how each character acts. I hope for a season 4, my personal favorite season is season 1.
Ahh yes, the smell of my childhood in the summer of the mid 2000’s. FLCL changed my life as a kid and I’m glad that it’s had such a lasting impact on people. :’)
+ryoga316 WHAAAAAAAAT!??!?!? ...oh, snap, they're gonna fuck it up! no way they don't overdo it. Though, I'd defintely prefer that rather not be the case
THIS is why started playing guitar on my own. I remember now: to make covers of the pillows (and, maybe, someday I would create music as good as theirs)
duuude, these are the guys who made me pick up a bass! (okay maybe it was the anime) But I've been in love with the instrument ever since. Its been a few years now.
It was a combination of the Beck Mongolian Chop Squad anime, and marathon Guitar Hero sessions at my friends house that got me started on guitar. This song and Little Busters helped though.
FLCL and all the music it featured meant a lot to me as a young teen. I'm not sure if I am more worried or excited for a new season. The first was complete, and will be hard to match, but the style and world have a lot of potential still. I do sincerely hope they have the pillows on board again, music was a really important aspect of FLCL.
+Mr.Aptronym the new FLCL will be different, an addition to the original, but not a recreation. All my friends felt so let down by the Evangelion rebuilds. I think I'm the only out of the bunch who enjoyed them, because I had zero expectation walking in
There was nothing to understand, so don’t feel bad. It was nothing more than a collection of things that were of interest to the writer at that time. Giant robots, baseball, music, etc. There wasn’t really a theme, or a point, just a mashup of his hobbies.
@@tgreening there is a point. Embrace the change. Naoto still hidden under his older brother step. That's why he always bring the bat but never swing it. He scared he's not good enough. But he did. He swing the bat and thus began his journey to adolescence not affected with his big brother.
RIGHT!?! I found this show when I was 6. I'm 20 now and I am so freaking happy that I remembered enough to find it again. I just finished the last episode. I will probably rewatch all of them again right away... I want more episodes so bad. :(
Neil Corbin It is one of those shows you need to watch multiple times there is just so much going on it is hard to pick up on everything on the first viewing.
As kids/teens, we weren't over-thinking or over-analyzing shows/ media for things like whimsy, magic, writing, creativity, emotions, heart, soul, etc., we were just "in the moment" and blindly enjoying the movie, ya know?
If you knew a thing about flcl you'd know that its a complete story, where there is no room for a second season. goboiano.com/news/3338-flcl-is-getting-a-remake-by-production-i.g.-and-we%2527re-all-going-crazy www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2015/08/31-1/production-ig-mentions-possibility-of-flcl-remake operationrainfall.com/2015/09/01/flcl-may-receive-remake-production-g/

I haven't watched FLCL in YEARS. Some random video in my feed of a guy visiting Japan, in some rural area, getting a soda from a vending machine, instantly took me back to the anime. Now I'm here listening to this song xD
Just listening to this song tells you there will never be a better version or remake, and it takes me back to the first time I ever watched FLCL... I miss those days 😭
havent seen this in a while, every one of my senses just pulled up memories. even smell. i miss being a kid back in Terrell, just becoming a free mind, away from the influence of my parents. i got so much out of these songs and FLCL at that time, it was like a mantra more than a TV show
I've just discovered this great band right now and I fell in love with it instantly. This along with Beat Crusaders and Shonen Knife are my fav!! jrock bands.
Physically I'm at work rn but mentally I'm 15 laying in bed at midnight watching adult swim on a Friday night. It's summer so no school in the morning and all is right with the world.
I love this song a lot and decided to share this with my mom and dad, they both said that it's like punk Beatles! I think that's funny and it's a compliment too!
I only found out about FLCL and the pillows a week ago, I am now in love with them both. I'm happy to know that years in the future I will feel the nostalgia you all do to

I came here from you mentioning this in one of your videos, thanks for that :D

You are going to get another dose of it this June and Fall.

*clutches chest* "HNNNNGGG!!"
Some of my most treasured memories of my younger days lie with me staying up late just to watch Naota's Bizarre Adventure.
I can’t believe we’re living in the apocalypse. So much good anime to watch being stuck at home
oX★kaninchen2077★Xo You got a lot of anime to binge? I’m always trying to add to mine. I’m watching comedy and slice of life
Mike Simpson I love Nichijou, so I’ll go watch the other one for sure!
Rewatching Gundam 0079 for the around fifth time currently
ramba_rock&rall bruh I’m currently watching iron-blooded orphans and I’m crying my eyes out
sqowo ah yeah yeah, Iron Blooded Orphans didn’t do much for me but there are some interesting character developments.
This might just be the most normal japanese music video I've ever seen.
Dr33J i read this comment before i saw the video hahaha i wasn't expecting it when i saw it
Dr33J how ironic.

Definitely, it reminds me a lot of Weezer.

This band made me wanna play rock again, after focusing solely on acoustic and classical guitar, I found inspiration to pick up my electric again.
Feeling the same way now after not playing guitar for at least a year
Lmao once you play an electric guitar you just can’t go back to acoustic
@@cristhianc5580 for me it was the opposite. been enjoying acoustic alot lately

Bruh 😢
Only complaint
It's too short.
That is all.
lcjr honestly
Say that to every non-album single that was released in the 60s.
you dont want it to be progressive rock do you?

They are doing two new seasons
@@inkoinfinity2 oh shit. Another reason to be hyped I guess for 2023. Zelda and this band.

I woke up one night as FLCL was going off. I was like, "This song is the shit!" I became a Pillows fan at 36.
This band embodies all the reasons why I love alternative rock.
Alt rock is not afraid to be weird. 🤣

+AlmostLeroy Thank god I wasn't the only person to think that. It really does have that feel to it >.>

but this isn't even close to grunge in the slightest...
also, most japanese people don't even know who the pillows are. The pillows audience is literally literally 99% outside of japan.

Almost 15 years ago now, I was 6 or 7 when I first saw FLCL, Watched it all again yesterday. Memories :D
I don't know how the hell I didn't know about that series and especially this band, their sound is so cool!
***** such a great show
I was seven when I saw it and now I have the complete series I got it on Thursday yay its so awesome
yeah !! the pillows 25th Anniversary...I grew old (;ﾟ∀ﾟ)
Hey at least you can tell ur future grand kids that this band is awesome
“バカバカしく、カッコよく(fooly cooly )”というフレーズは刻印のように、僕の剥き出しのピンクの心に刻まれています。これからの人生でこの金言は僕について回るでしょう。ある種の呪いを施されてしまったのです。ありがとう。
THIS is why started playing guitar on my own. I remember now: to make covers of the pillows (and, maybe, someday I would create music as good as theirs)
Don't ever stop playing
duuude, these are the guys who made me pick up a bass! (okay maybe it was the anime) But I've been in love with the instrument ever since. Its been a few years now.
they've definitely inspired me and my guitar playing
How are you now? I just started to play guitar.
It was a combination of the Beck Mongolian Chop Squad anime, and marathon Guitar Hero sessions at my friends house that got me started on guitar. This song and Little Busters helped though.
I'm back. Remember watching FLCL as a teenager. Nothing can top the first time watching that show back in the 2000s.
I found The Pillows after watching FLCL. Loved all of their stuff.
Perfect music. Can’t believe I just discovered them.
I just found out while looking at the UA-cam mix Playlist
I recommemd checking out the anime fooly cooly (flcl) if you enjoyed this. Only watch the first season if you do tho, the sequels are kinda eh.
Better late then never
what are you 10?
SAME
as soon as you heard that opening riff y'all _knew_ you were up _long_ past your bed time
This song will randomly pop in my head every now and then and I have to come here just to listen to it at least once for old times pleasure.
SNI-PAH!
here lately this song has been bringing me out of my slumps and down in the dumps. even tho i dont know the lyrics this song is awesome
FLCL and all the music it featured meant a lot to me as a young teen. I'm not sure if I am more worried or excited for a new season.

They're back in the new seasons. You can watch the trailer for Progressive and Alternative.
This didn’t age well…
FLCL is probably one of the best anime i ever watcched even if i didn't fully understood it .
There was nothing to understand, so don’t feel bad. It was nothing more than a collection of things that were of interest to the writer at that time. Giant robots, baseball, music, etc. There wasn’t really a theme, or a point, just a mashup of his hobbies.

Its about puberty and releasing needing "another self" to live through. Kiki's delivery service is this but more lighthearted lol
Also my favorite anime and I don’t know what the fuck it’s about
Dammit, now i want a yellow Vepsa. See what you do japan, you do nostalgic shit to good people!
RIGHT!?! I found this show when I was 6. I'm 20 now and I am so freaking happy that I remembered enough to find it again. I just finished the last episode. I will probably rewatch all of them again right away... I want more episodes so bad. :(
Neil Corbin It is one of those shows you need to watch multiple times there is just so much going on it is hard to pick up on everything on the first viewing.
Yup this show is what made me want a Vespa.
don't worry you're not alone. I'm pretty sure a lot of people wanted a yellow Vespa after they saw Fooly Cooly
Vespa moped= best moped
Turning 18 in a few minutes I think listening to the pillows is most fitting
As kids/teens, we weren't over-thinking or over-analyzing shows/ media for things like whimsy, magic, writing, creativity, emotions, heart, soul, etc., we were just "in the moment" and blindly enjoying the movie, ya know?
2023 and living my life over again at 10 years old watching toonami and adult swim
Pure legends. I'll never forget this band.

It's not season 2 it's a remake
Fuck
Bonnie If you can get proof I would love to see it but last time I checked the creators said season 2
Wrong

The phrase “fools cooly ” is my bible
I won’t be able to forget this whole my life. This is a kind of curse I cannot escape.
Thank you gainax.
From a more innocent time
FLCL didn't bring me here, I watched FLCL because of the pillows.
***** oooo youre so cool, lets like go out sometime
***** I think that's rad. I respect people that watched Samurai Champloo because they liked beats by Nujabes and Fat Jon. They're a good band
wow you're so fucking unique no one is like you you're so different everybody cares everybody cares about you the world revolves around you everything is about you you are important go the fuck away you fucking idiot nobody likes you
vaseline included nobody likes you either, grump-ass.

It's a masterpiece that awakens the rock and roll in me. I still love it!
I have listened to this song about 20 times in a row and still have to listen again. Brings back memories
I haven't watched FLCL in YEARS. Some random video in my feed of a guy visiting Japan, in some rural area, getting a soda from a vending machine, instantly took me back to the anime. Now I'm here listening to this song xD
one of the best songs ever made
Just listening to this song tells you there will never be a better version or remake, and it takes me back to the first time I ever watched FLCL... I miss those days 😭

かっこいい、この曲。

I find it so unfair at times how I didn't get to enjoy FLCL in the 2000s like most of y'all
2019 for me
Never realized how good this song is for testing new headphones until now.
this bring back so many old memories sitting in front of my big box tv at 3am watching FLCL. when everything was simple 😢
まじ良い曲 ！！
Thank you FLCL for introducing me to one of my favorite bands
Makes me go back to my Saturday nights watching FLCL. Amazing
何回見ても何年たっても笑える

I love to fooly cooly.
judging by your profile pic, I can tell you like my new look. thanks, buddy.
Nick and Cheese FOOLY COOLY-ING AROUND!
kool aid?
The "Beep Beep Beep Beep Yeah" part sounds the same in another song called, Drive My Car by the Beatles.
The Pillows is one of those bands I love, despite how many times they change their sound. They love to experiment, and I love it!
