The pillows staff

Yep, Alan and I are in the top 20 list officially. If we get in the top 5 videos, we’re headed to Japan to 1) see the pillows’ 20th anniversary show. 2) Have our video shown there. And the pillows’ label, Avex, is gonna slip us a cool $1000 (each?) to help out with the expenses.

The big day is September 3rd, 6:00PM Japan time. That’s when we’ll find out the top 5.

 Nice job Greyson!
