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.

Our love and peace
抜け目のないボクが狙うモノ
Our love and peace
Nobody can understand life story
くたびれた夜空に願うモノ
Our love and peace
さよなら20世紀
歴史を埋める一瞬さ
それでも明日の夜もキミと
夢を見たい
年老いた二人が祈るモノ
Our love and peace
傾向いた星が裁くモノ

Nobody can understand life story
さよなら20世紀
60億の感情に
混じって許されるまで ここに
キミといたい
The lyrics to The Pillows' song, Our Love and Peace, tell a story of two individuals who have different desires in life but share the same need for love and peace. The first two lines - "The innocent you demands something, Our love and peace, The cunning me aims for something, Our love and peace" - suggest that while one is more naive and innocent, the other is more sly and cunning, but they both want the same thing. They both want love and peace in their lives, but they go about it in different ways.
The chorus, "Nobody can understand life story, Our love and peace," emphasizes that the complexities of their lives and the decisions they make are their own and that no one else can understand them fully. The next verse - "What we hope for in the exhausted night sky, Our love, and peace, Nobody can understand life story" - suggests that love and peace are a source of comfort for them even in tough times. Lastly, the song touches on the idea of time, "Goodbye 20th century, burying a moment in history, I still want to dream with you tomorrow night about Our love and peace."
Overall, the song seems to be highlighting the idea that no matter how different people may seem, at the end of the day, what we all want is love and peace. It captures the confusion and complexities of life while simultaneously emphasizing the power of love to bring people together.
