}}{{Nihongo|Pantomime|パントマイム}} is an EP / mini-album released by The Pillows on May 21, 1990. It marked the band's debut commercial release and has since, like its follow-up 90's My Life, gone out of print. Despite this, it can often be found on Japanese auction websites ranging from ¥4,000 – ¥5,000 JPY.

Pantomime was re-released (TECN-15397) in 1998 as part of the 'Captain Records 10th Anniversary' campaign, where popular releases from artists on the label in the late 1980's were re-released.

Copyright history

When Pantomime was first released in 1990, the rights to the EP were held under the ‘Bang-a-GONG’ sub-label (hence GONG-6021) of Captain Records (キャプテンレコード). Captain Records served the distribution at the time and was a subsidiary of the JICC Publication Administration (JICC 出版局), its parent company.

Between 1992–1998, the copyrights to Pantomime transferred ownership, and currently reside with ‘Ultra-Vybe Inc.’, a record company still trading today. In 1998, a selection of the original Captain Records collection (including Pantomime) was manufactured and distributed by Teichiku Records (TECN), a subsidiary of JVC Kenwood Holdings Corporation.

Upon its re-release (1998.09.23) under Teichiku Records, there was no contract or agreement with Sawao Yamanaka or the pillows, who were well into their extended relationship with King Records at the time. During one of the live performances for the ‘Penalty Life’ tour (Kyoto Muse Hall, January 19, 2004) Sawao mentioned that the first time he had heard about the re-release of Pantomime (TECN-15397) was from a fan-letter well after the release date, and that he had still not been paid any royalties as a result of Teichiku Records sales.

Demo recordings

The songs ‘Stand Up And Go’, ‘Razorlike Blue’ and ‘Pantomime’ were previously performed by Sawao Yamanaka in the late 1980s while the band toured under their original formation ‘The Coinlocker Babies’ (コインロッカーベイビーズ). The group put together a demo tape that included early recordings of ‘Stand Up And Go’ and ‘Pantomime’.

  • Whilst ‘Pantomime’ was a Coinlocker Babies track, Sawao had said that he didn’t want people to listen to it until he had really put some more effort into it.
  • No re-recordings or self-covers have been made by the pillows for any Pantomime tracks since its initial release.
  • During a performance at Shinjuku Loft on January 21, 2014, 'Razorlike Blue' and 'Energy' were performed live by the pillows with original bassist Kenji Ueda.

Cover recordings

On 24 October, 2012 an omnibus CD titled ‘MikuPunk Mid · Eighties · On Captain Records’ was released under SOLID records, a subsidiary of Ultra-Vybe Inc. A cover of ‘Razorlike Blue’ was recorded for the CD by the artist ‘Megurine Luka (巡音ルカ Megurine Ruka)’. Megurine Ruka is a humanoid persona voiced by a singing synthesizer application developed by Crypton Future Media, headquartered in Sapporo, Japan. She uses Yamaha Corporation's Vocaloid 2 and Vocaloid 4 singing synthesizing technology.
