The Pillows aren't one of Japan's best-selling bands. They're recognizable but have never really had any major success akin to the big pop/rock acts. They probably have about the same profile in Japan as bands like the Gin Blossoms or The Verve Pipe do in the US. Nevertheless, this is a great album.

Don't look for more music like this on anime soundtracks (you won't find it), just directly look up more Japanese alternative rock music

absolutely untrue

The Pillows aren't one of Japan's best-selling bands.

I hear this is why the gigantic major label they were on didn't renew their contract.

the FLCL soundtracks and Fool on the Planet are good too cuz you'll probably find it easier to get into songs you've already heard from the show, which you'll find on those records

yes but there are a couple of b-sides too. also some of the versions of songs on the soundtrack are different to the album version.
