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.

Rookie Jet
The Pillows Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I bought a Ferrari
I'm just joking !
But I'm as happy as can be
yes, feel so cool
feel so cool
She is a fairy
She is a fairy
Well,I never !
But I'm happy about herself
Yes, feel so cool
feel so cool
Anything will do
I stole a Ferrari
I stole a Ferrari
I'm just joking !
But I'm as happy as can be
yes, feel so cool
feel so cool
feel so cool
feel so cool
Anything will do
The lyrics to The Pillows's song "Rookie Jet" are playful and lighthearted, with the singer joking about how they own a Ferrari, but then admitting that they're just kidding. The theme of happiness and contentment is prevalent throughout the song, as the singer describes feeling so cool and anything being enough to make them happy. The second verse introduces a fairy character, who also makes the singer happy just by existing. The last verse again references the Ferrari, but this time the singer jokes about stealing it.
Overall, the lyrics to "Rookie Jet" are simple but effective in conveying a sense of joy and ease. The playful references to owning or stealing a Ferrari serve as a metaphor for material possessions not necessarily being the key to happiness, but rather just a fun way to express oneself.
