the pillows Mug
Information Update: Started by Kenji Ueda in 1987 as The Coinlocker Babies and later renamed sometime after he resigned as Japanese punk band Kenzi & The Trips' bassist, The Pillows were originally Sawao Yamanaka (Vocals and Rhythm Guitar) from The Potato Chips, Yoshiaki Manabe (Lead Guitar) from 80's hair band Persia, and Shinchiro Sato (Drums) from Kenzi & The Trips. After their first two 1990 mini-albums releases called Pantomime, a re-recorded version of their old demo tape with the same name, and 90's My Life with Captain Records, the decision was later made to release Ame ni Utaeba, their debut single, and Moon Gold with Pony Canyon in 1991. A year later, the band released their second album called White Incarnation and Kenji Ueda bid farewell to his bandmates following their moderate success the previous year. Tatsuya Kashima from the band SUPER BAD was brought aboard as a guest bassist for the two experimental albums Kool Spice (1994) and Living Field (1995) that were released under King Records. Both gained only little more than extremely limited attention inside the rapidly changing Japanese music scene and the band turned their attention to putting on extremely entertaining live shows, side projects like Shinichiro Sato's involvement with The Pees, and recording new songs for two full years. After five incredibly sucessful MAXI SINGLES, The Pillows offered the emotional Please Mr. Lostman album early into 1997, and finally got a true taste of the high life. Sawao Yamanaka and company didn't slow down with the incredible hits either, this proven by the great sales of Little Busters (1998), Runners High (1999), and Happy Bivouac (1999). More success came their way both in Japan and across the world when Gainax hired the trio to provide a large majority of the background music for their hit OVA series FLCL. Their first "Best of..." compilation, Fool on the Planet (2001), and more singles followed before all the band members began to seek out other careers in music to fill the creative gap live tours and recording their new album Smile (2001) didn't quite fill alone. Sawao Yamanaka started his own production company, Delicious Label, Yoshiaki Manabe experiemtned with reggae music as Nine Miles, and Shinchiro Sato became the drummer for Yo-King. Thank You, My Twilight (2002), an incredible sounding foray into rock music mixed with loads electronic sounds and distortion was released the same day as their two disc B-Side collection Another Morning, Another Pillows. Terminal Heaven's Rock, a promising MAXI SINGLE, new DVD called Dead Stock Paradise, DVD re-releases of their two old VHS tapes Hello, Welcome to Bubbletown's Happy Zoo (Instant Show) and We Have a Theme Song are coming next in 2003. Also expected in 2003 is Nine Miles' second release named Return of The Polar Bear and the first mini-album from O.P. King, another band Shinchiro Sato is now drumming for. Not covered above are the extremely rare fan club releases including "the pillows presents special cd", a special Christmas cassette filled with cover songs, Jun Suzuki's appearance in the brand new Terminal Heaven's Rock promotional video, a first for any bass player that has ever played with The Pillows, and much more.

My brother Tom became an uncle & urban dictionary created a wonderful uncle Tom mug…
It is special to have a mug that has to do with my dad who invented a word when we were growing up. He passed away last year. Drinking from this mug is like spending time with him.

I bought a Prone mug and i love it its so good imma prone to the bathroom now brb
This mug gives my life purpose. It's what I've always said. Patience is a virtue and hard work never betrays. Ever since I was born I've been struck with one misfortune after another, but today it all paid off. I got my own mug, and I use it anywhere and whenever I can! Both of my legs are shattered because to my wife threw me in the middle of traffic and my windpipe is messed up due to me screaming all the way from the crash site to the hospital thanks to the unbearable pain I was feeling. Although even with all that's happened this is still the best day of my life. I suppose the only problem I have is that whenever I happen to look at my cup I get a little too happy. That causes problems because my life support can't handle my exhilaration, haha! I'm just kidding; that was just a little lighthearted joke of mine. I actually cannot afford life support because I spent all of my life savings on this fine piece of pottery. Not to worry though! I can get through the pain with my will and drugs - I mean medication. P.S. There are definitely no ghosts in the mugs. Just wanted to point that out in case someone was worried about that.
I bought two mugs as gifts for coworkers and they were very pleased. The print was clear and concise. Hopefully they last a long time.
Ordered a gift for a friend I hope he likes it :)
Mug was well-packed when received. Shipping was timely. The mug was as advertised. Very nice.
BEST THING EVER. CUZ YK WHAT!!?!? IT. IS. A. MUG. WITH MY NAME. AND. A COOL DESCRIPTION. ON. IT. I LOVE IT.
Just what I expected! Thank you!
I bought this friggin thing thinking my whole life would change. Guess what? It still sucks! If this friggin thing can't change my life then I don't want it!
This is a great gift to give after our Urban Dictionary inclusion
It's perfect!! Thank you!
My Name is Walter Hardwell White, My Mug was sent to 308 Negra Aroyal Lane, AQ, New Mexico and arrived on-time and I am very satisfied. My "Glock Dookie" mug is great for my lab work, and my friend Pinkman loves it!
I love this cup! My now ex-husband loves his opioids more than life itself. He would constantly pass out dead to the world the only thing I would here was his death moans. I had to call an aid car for him so many time that I can't remember plus 2 or 3 times the doctors told me that if it wasn't for me, he would have died. Her abandoned me after I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer because I was of no use to him any longer. I have no clue now who must be the one that's obligated to save his life any longer. All I know is I'm free from him now. The only thing I'm waiting for is that he finally overdoses himself & he's dead. I am buying a cup to send to him for our divorce anniversary gift so he can keep it in memory of how he treated me.
I loved it! Excellent quality!
I received the mug as a gift from a friend with whom I exchange "Weekaversary" eMails. I love the concept but am wondering why "aniversary" is spelled with only one "n?"
Wish it had the example text as well, but I loved it anyway
