Welcome to the newest take on this topic series! We've updated some of the rules so come take a look!

Rules:
- Obvious contest rules apply (no alts, one vote per person, no rallying, etc.). I reserve the right to change and enforce the rules at my discretion.
- Voting lasts indefinitely. A new topic will be put up every weekday and sometimes on weekends, but you will be allowed to vote retroactively for any band that we have done previously. Just list the band(s) you are voting for in your post.
- Please do not delete your post, but editing your vote is fine. You may not edit your vote after the next voting topic starts, however. Your votes will not be edited or removed retroactively.
- Feel free to nominate a band/artist! You may nominate a band once a topic, but only if you have voted. You may not nominate the same band more than once. The band with the most nominations (at least 2) will go next in line.
- Discussion is encouraged, but please keep it civil and respect the tastes of other users. I know not everyone likes the same kinds of music but try to be nice.
- Please vote for songs only found in Studio Albums, EPs, Singles, or other official recordings. I will not normally accept votes for any other songs(but if you make a good case I may change my mind.
- Voting is done in the format of +3, +2, +1. I will explain further and give examples of how you can vote below:

You may choose to give points to up to 3 songs by the selected band or artist. The more songs you rank, the more points you can give!

For example, let's say that the the band to be ranked is Mouse Rat. If I were ranking my top 3, I would present them in this format:

+3 The Pit
+2 5000 Candles in the Wind
+1 Sex Hair


If another user only knew or wanted to rank 1 song from the band, he would vote in this manner:

+1 November

The users who have a better familiarity with the artist will have more influence than users who only know one song. That way, the best song (but not necessarily the most well known song) hopefully wins.

I'm always open to suggestions on how to run this contest, so feel free to give me your input. With that said, let's get started!

Today's Artist: The Pillows
Discography: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pillows_discography

Tomorrow: Dragonforce

Today's band seems to be pretty obscure. I could just be uneducated in the Japanese Rock scene, I guess. If this band fails to attract much interest, though, I won't allow any further nominations for similar bands.

Vote form:

+3
+2
+1

Let the votes begin. Don't forget to nominate so we can get more bands in this!

The Pillows are huge in Japan, and have a pretty good following here in the states. The FLCL soundtrack in particular made them popular. But we'll see if B8's weeaboos all drop by to vote.

+3 Carnival
+2 Crazy Sunshine
+1 Happy Bivouac

If you want to nom a japanese band, try X-Japan. They are far more famous, even though they don't exist for more than 10 years now. Though they made a new tour with the reminiscent band members last year.

Anyway,

Nom: X-Japan
