“Ride On Shooting Star” is the ending theme song for the original video animation (OVA) “FLCL” and the 17th single by the rock band the pillows.

Although “FLCL” features a large number of insert songs, these were essentially all produced by the pillows as well, resulting in a very compelling group of tracks that add depth to FLCL’s unique world.
