I can hardly think of any band that is as respected by other musicians as the pillows.

Even without major hits or heavy media exposure, the unique world they’ve built continues to captivate many fans.

Black Sheepthe pillows21rank/position

When you want to clear the haze in your heart, I recommend “Black Sheep” by the pillows.

Included on the 1998 album LITTLE BUSTERS, this track is woven solely from guitar and the vocals of Sawao Yamanaka throughout.

The lyrics depict a protagonist who wipes out everything that gnaws at a mind tangled by too many unpleasant events.

When something bad happens, it might be good to reset everything to zero, just like in this song.

Before your heart grows weary from overthinking, why not let this track give you the cue to hit reset?

DAYDREAM WONDERthe pillows22rank/position

Included on the 1995 album LIVING FIELD.

A three-piece rock band formed in 1989.

The band’s name was taken from the omnibus album Pillows & Prayers.

They use the Japanese translation of their name, “makura” (pillow), as a word symbolizing the band, and they also incorporate the number “916,” representing their formation date, into designs for merchandise and other items.

They don’t often appear at the top of the charts, but they have a strong, lasting following and are popular not only in Japan but also overseas, including in the United States.

Their weapons are refreshing yet powerful vocals and high-quality guitar sound.

Thanks to their strong musical prowess, many of their songs have been selected as theme songs for anime and TV programs.

Notable examples include Ahiru no Sora, Moteki, and Count Down TV.

Amid its razor-sharp guitar sound, the low end forms the core—“Scarecrow” is a track where you can feel the quintessential the pillows rock drive.

The bass centers on an 8-beat feel, forcefully hitting the root notes along the chord progression.

With its medium tempo, the phrases are easy to follow, making it good practice for steady right-hand picking and left-hand position shifts.

Let the notes ring fully and focus on supporting the whole band to raise the overall polish.

It’s also a great pick when you want to bring out a strong sense of groove in your performance.
