As part of their 15th anniversary celebration, Japanese rock band the pillows re-released their first EP, now called 90's My LIFE Returns, as well as a video special, DEADSTOCK PARADISE and a CD, TURN BACK, which contains six newly-arranged songs from 1990 to 1996. A tribute album, SYNCHRONIZED ROCKERS, was also released in 2004.
