1. the pillows (ザ・ピロウズ) are an alternative rock band from Hokkaidō, Japan, best known outside Japan for their contributions to the soundtrack of the anime series FLCL (Fooly Cooly).
They consist of 山中さわお (Sawao Yamanaka) -vocals & guitar-, 真鍋吉明 (Yoshiaki Manabe) -guitar-, 佐藤シンイチロウ (Shinichiro Sato) -drums-.

The band officially formed on September 16, 1989 as a four-man group. The fourth man and original bassist, 上田ケンジ (Kenji Ueda), left the band in 1992 to become a music producer and do solo work. Since then, 鹿島達也 (Tatsuya Kashima) and later 鈴木淳 (Jun Suzuki) have taken his place as supporting bassists. Neither Kashima nor Suzuki have been named official members out of respect for Ueda.

The band name is intentionally left without any capitalization.

The Pillows Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

すぐに後悔して振りほどいた手で
もう一度窓を開けたりして
僕の風景画, 君を書き損ねたままで
絵の具が足りなくなった

ふざけた季節が長すぎて
心に咲いた白い花
踏んじゃったけど

"愛をもっと愛をもっと"って
暗闇でずっと君の手を
探してんだ
"いつかきっといつかきっと"って
悲しみをそっと飲み込んで
歌いたいんだ

急に寒くなって古いマフラー
引っ張り出した, 似合わなくて変だ
君の誕生日, 渡しそびれた手袋は
どこかで握手してるだろう

優しい夜が短すぎて
月の光で咲く花は
枯れちゃったけど

"愛をもっと愛をもっと"って
暗闇でずっと君の手を
探してんだ
"いつかきっといつかきっと"って
悲しみをそっと飲み込んで
歌いたいんだ

無口な風が騒ぎ出して
寂しい僕の庭に今
両手広げて君が咲いてる

愛を知ってやっと走って
暗闇でぎゅっと
君の手を握れたんだ
今夜全部, 今夜全部
悲しみを全部飲み込んで
笑いたいんだ

愛をもっと
(x5)

Overall Meaning

The Pillows' song Moon Margaret tells a story of regret and longing for someone who has already gone away. The lyrics talk about opening a window and regretting it, as well as the singer's failed attempts to paint their loved one in their artwork. The seasonal changes are also discussed, particularly the harsh winter that makes the singer seek out an old scarf that no longer looks good on them. Despite the passing of time, the singer still holds onto small reminders of their loved one, like a lost glove and a forgotten birthday present.

The chorus repeats the phrases "愛をもっと愛をもっと" ("More love, more love") and "いつかきっといつかきっと" ("Someday, surely"), which serve to express the singer's desire to continue searching and holding onto hope. There is also a sense of sadness and loneliness present in the lyrics, particularly with lines like "踏んじゃったけど" ("I accidentally stepped on it") and "寂しい僕の庭に今" ("Now in my lonely garden"). The song's ending is hopeful, however, as the singer learns to embrace their love and let go of their sadness, wanting to "drink up" all of their sadness and to "笑いたいんだ" ("laugh it off").
