I got the third floor!!

>>1 A splendid thanks for opening the thread.

Unreliable, this half of it, street thugs, let it skim across the water. Why do I suddenly remember the time I competed with people? Choosing tomorrow, and um, yeah yeah, thinking very simply. I still cannot bear being hurt, but because I learned I can grow stronger, even confusion can become something. From where I am now, it is fine to start at any time. Only to me, hey now. Just to me, spiral, an infinite fortune king’s charge. The thing we drew, one thing, let it continue. Just go on like this and catch it; one more than tears, as long as it is there. Ho—yo. Growth-line spiral, never stopping like this, rushing past even if it gets slightly hurt. Something with a lingering aftertaste should be obtainable, the one unshakable thing in this world. Spiralary. Hey now. Fortune people, spiral, an infinite fortune king’s charge. The shape of tomorrow you drew is something that belongs only to you. It is better to meet once more than to part; someday we can build the unshakable thing together. Let go. Growth-line spiral, toward the reality existing over there for you, I want to connect to it as itself. Just being beside you, the sunset we watched together was so beautiful it hurt, as if we had become that. Full day see, you fool, spiral.

I am listening to “Spiral” while looking at the divine version for the first time in ages, but some of the garbled pseudo-words are pretty funny.

A solo thread for Yuri Nakamura has opened too.

It is no good if the template and the archive of previous logs are not included.

Leaving a footprint at number nine.

I got the tenth floor.

>>1 Thanks for your hard work.

Could someone do what the great poster in previous thread >>201 did and transcribe the English section that Yurippe sings happily after “I feel so all in secret life~” at the end of the “Mysterious Eyes remix” on the second album?

>>12 That section after the remix ends is genuinely wonderful. Let us wait for the god of >>201 to descend with the lyrics.

AAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEE

You keep chanting “201, 201.” You are pretty persistent~

GARNET CROW Garnet Crow Garnet Gar-Crow Gane-Crow G-Crow GC

I just abbreviate it as “Gane.”

I abbreviate it as “Neck.”

I abbreviate it as “Red Crow.”

I have heard people call it “Garne” too.

Gan-black (a tanned girl).

G.

Bell-black.

Nero.

( ´,_ゝ`) Boring.

>>25 ( ´,_ゝ`) Pfft.

ttp://page5.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/e14403722 Hey, what is this?

I cannot see it.

∧　　∧ ( ´∀｀) つ　　⊃ ｜　　｜ (＿）＿)

∧　　∧ ( ´∀｀) A feeling that both sides will remain silent. つ　　⊃ ｜　　｜ (＿）＿)

>>27 Ticket sales.

How did you get it!? I want one too! Is it a fishing post?

∧　∧ ( ´∀｀) Someone’s crotch. つ　⊃ ｜　｜ (＿）＿)

“Spiral” has risen again to number nine on the Oricon daily chart.

>>32 Probably not a fishing post. Why would a privileged person who can use a special presale allotment bother making a little money here...

[ASCII art in the style of Raccoon Rascal, showing dissatisfaction with the tickets, preserved as a description.] Rascal-kun seems dissatisfied about the tickets too.

>>36 That made me laugh.

Maybe number 27 is selling the ticket on Yahoo Auctions himself, trying to drive up the price by using the otakus here?

[ASCII art combining a building and a person, labeled “←27,” preserved as a description.]

By the way, maybe he simply got a ticket.

>27 If applications exceed the number of tickets accepted, winners will be selected by lottery. If you are not selected, you will be contacted before the general sale date and the full amount you paid will be refunded. Where were applications accepted? ヾ(;ﾟ;Д;ﾟ;)ﾉﾞ Uoooh!!

He used the special presale allotment with the intention of reselling from the start, the bastard.

Does anyone have any information about the concert being released on DVD or videotape? Kuraki, Rina, and the others at GIZA went from their first concerts to releasing them as software. GC is also halfway into a visual-oriented route, so will they follow the same path?

They will surely release a concert video. I want a video release soon too.

1. Make money from concert tickets. 2. Make money from CS pay-per-view. 3. Make money from concert DVDs. For GC, there are few venues, so they cannot make much from number 1. They have to make money from number 2 or 3, right? That is probably what they are thinking. >>44 I completely agree.

At the end of “Kimi no Ie ni Tsuku made Zutto Hashitte Yuku” (first kaleidoscope version), the line “Whose fault? Whose fault? His fault~” is intriguing.

>>46 ( ´,_ゝ`) Boring.

>>45 They probably will not do PPV. How many people would watch that?

Grabbing the fiftieth spot before bed.

I want to have SEX.

>>51 Did you come back from your grandfather’s house in the countryside...?

>>51 You are like this every time you return to your hometown lol. Welcome back~

[ASCII art preserved from the original.] All right, there is still more mischief to do. It is about time to start causing some serious trouble.

>>55 This is K○○○○’s chart, right? Surprisingly believable. People in Niigata have a full hour-long GC radio special from 9 today. Do not forget.

At least they can make the top ten. Great. >>56 I am jealous.

Everyone in Niigata, are you ready for it?

It’s here━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━!!!!! Or is it? Did they only play one song?

Are you not planning to upload it?

What number should I call to buy Akasaka tickets? I could only find information for Osaka and so on.

Writing phone numbers directly here will probably get the post deleted. >>61 The number on this page should work, right? ttp://www.giza.co.jp/garnetcrow/menu/news_infomation.html

>>61 Akasaka Blitz seems to have its own official website.

>>58 >>59 Sorry. It is at 9 p.m. It says “GARNET CROW special: Spiral and more.” For some reason, Niigata seems to be really promoting GC.

>>64 Please write a report if there are comments or anything.

Bump.

Bump!

> Another person from Niigata Thanks for the information. I had no idea there was a special. If there are comments, I will upload them!

>>68 Good luck~

About how old is GC’s Yuri Nakamura? And the other three? There are too many mysteries; I cannot figure it out...

>>70 It is already over.

>>70 That is far too volatile. After this, it will probably be nothing but a decline (depressed).

That is how charts work. The person who predicted number six for the weekly chart when it was number five on the first day: Sakai.

>>70 Aiuchi is frightening. It is tough to rely only on nationally broadcast M Station. >>71 Twenty-five. >>73 (((((((( ；ﾟДﾟ))))))) trembling violently. >>74 Was there not a sumo wrestler with that name before?

Is “Spiral” spinning?

A deflationary spiral (depressed).

With lyrics like that, why is the title “Spiral”...?

Exactly. The title should really be “Fortune King’s Charge,” right?

Ho-yo.

>>79 I’m dying laughing.

In my view, “Fortune King’s Charge” is number one among all the posts so far. I will not forget this famous (or mysterious) phrase even ten years from now.

I looked at the Planet Chart for comfort.

Let us make the lyrics of other GC songs into versions like >>201’s!

>>84 Boring.

>>84 Rejected, because middle-school students and provocateurs would get carried away.

Reheating old material probably would not be popular either.

>>85-87 Thinking about it carefully, you are right. Sorry for writing something boring.

>>88 Your ID is rather meaningful.

[ASCII art combining a building and a person, labeled “←192,” preserved as a description.]

No textual content in this post.

Wrong post, sorry.

>>84 That is a special feat made possible because the previous thread’s >>201 had divine ears.

Which radio station in Niigata is doing the special?

>>68 Will that program have commentary...? Will it...? The program is called “Star Residence,” which sounds cool, but I have a feeling they will just play songs continuously and end. At least I hope they play one album track.

>240: Anonymous Songwriter: 02/08/15 19:35 ID:ikFabU6j >5 → 5 → 7 → 9 → 11 → 13 >23,000 copies, around number nine, right? > >241: Anonymous Songwriter: 02/08/15 19:38 ID:GA9HtG3o >>>240 >They will not be overtaken by that many within one week. >The only one left is probably ELT. That Sakai person again.

The Kona-so (cola and soda?) commercial is on━━━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━━━!!!!! ...As expected, “Fortune King’s Charge.”

>94 Check the radio listings in the newspaper. It is not FM Niigata, but something like FM PORT or PORT Niigata.

FM probably will not work. AM would be better.

Previous thread: I did not even clean up, but got the hundredth spot.

> ▲ New single on sale!! GARNET CROW part.24 ▲ Come to think of it, as long as the thread is not deleted (Apon), the new single will always be “on sale,” right? lol

Has the column still not been updated?

Two minutes left. By the way, it is FM PORT. I cannot receive AM signals at all at home.

Not yet...

☆ Ding. My neck has grown long waiting~ My neck has grown long waiting~ [ASCII art of someone waiting for a story column to update, preserved as a description.] >>102 Copy and paste this and send it: http://www.giza.co.jp/garnetcrow/menu/contact.html

Sorry, may I ask something? Is Akasaka Blitz standing-room only? If so, does the ticket determine the order of entry? I have never been to Blitz... but I really want to make the effort to see a GC concert. Is it unusual for women to go?

Women, please come to the concert. Make the venue a little more glamorous. Looking at this thread, it seems like there are a lot of men, which makes me a little anxious~

Anyway, the first half was: 1. Spiral — Member introductions (the DJ said they had promising futures) — 2. Timeless Sleep 3. call my name 4. last love song — Their careers to date (only Nakamura remained a mystery) — 5. Mysterious Eyes 6. Even If I Line Up More Than a Thousand Words 7. Flying I hope they gain more fans...

The second half was: — About solo activities — 8. first fine day 9. Tell me — About concerts — 10. Natsu no Maboroshi 11. Yume Mita Ato de Looking at it this way, it feels like a concert set list.

Numbers 8 and 9 are truly hard to comment on...

>>108-109 What is this? A radio program?

Ah, it is a radio program. I thought it was a concert prediction lol. Thanks for writing the report~

Could you also give us a report on the interview content?

>>96 Since you are only saying it after the result is already more or less visible, never mind. If you really want to say it, please say it in the previous thread before it reaches number 300. When >>96 saw number 241, they thought, “It would be nice if it turned out like this,” and then it reached 300.

That really is a difficult unit to say out loud lol.

Didn’t someone ask in the thread before last whether we should make a concert prediction? Is it about time? lol

Let’s use predictions as a way to fill the previous thread.

2002.08.16 Music Station 8.3% (▼ -0.1)

For reference, during the previous appearance: 2002.03.15 Music Station 10.6% (▼ -4.6 from the previous week)

I want to know what the rating was for GC’s appearance.

>>108, 109 Thanks for the report. So it was mainly centered on the singles. There were quite a lot of songs, which makes me happy. By the way, did anyone in the Kansai area listen to KISS FM today? Yuri appeared as a guest... They played “Spiral” and “Yūdachi no Niwa”!

◆ Radio appearance information! August 20 (Tuesday) 27:00–28:00: “B-JUNK,” TBS August 20 (Tuesday) 17:30–18:00: “ROCK KIDS 802,” Kiss-FM August 27 (Tuesday) “MEGA HITS! COUNTDOWN WEST,” OBC

> August 20 (Tuesday) > 17:30–18:00: “ROCK KIDS 802,” Kiss-FM That is how it is written everywhere, but isn’t this program on FM802 rather than Kiss? Probably everyone copied it because that is what the official information says.

Bump.

How do you pronounce GIZA?

>>125 GIZA (Giza).

>>125 JIZA (Jiza).

>>125 G-I-Z-A (spelled out letter by letter).

>>108 When exactly was the “promising future” comment? I really want to question them and interrogate them for an hour (ry According to the Nakamura thread, Nakamura graduated from university. Does that mean there was about a year of blank space before her debut? Her background being too ordinary is a little disappointing lol. Only “first fine day” is explosively popular. What a trap lol. >>125 GAIZEI.

The wired radio at my part-time job played “Futari no Rocket” and “Mysterious Eyes.” For some reason, I am so happy. (´Д｀) pant.

Sometimes they play “Sky” too.

Before the first album, I thought their strong Western-music feel was really good. Now they are completely Japanese pop music.

>>132 Is this a thread where fans pretending to understand Western music come to criticize GC? lol

>>132-133 Do not come here to cause trouble.

>>130 Then sing it loudly there lol.

They debuted at number eight on yesterday’s Viewsic chart. That is not bad.

>>80’s reply made me laugh so hard.

I’m dying laughing.

>>138 Since its release, the Planet Chart has stayed steadily in the daily top ten, which is reassuring. >>139 That title sounds like something from an Indian film lol.

When they sing the “Fortune King’s Charge” part at concerts, the people who snicker are definitely 2ch users lol.

>>142 (・∀・) Heh heh heh.

>>142 Maybe Furui is snickering too at that moment.

>>125 More than how to pronounce GIZA, I am curious about how people pronounce “studio” and how they say it... When I heard it on television, it sounded something like “stoo-dee-oh.”

>>145 Studio.

Everyone probably says “studio”...

It would not be pronounced that far off. Just GIZA. But on television it really was pronounced “stoo-dee-oh.”

>>145 Recording studio.

S-T-U-D-I-O, spelled out letter by letter.

Is the arrangement of “Naked Story” really that bad? I listen to it fairly often. The repeated “Naked story...” at the beginning is annoying, though, so I cut it out with editing software lol.

>>151 After editing it, it became “Naked Story — 151 ver.,” didn’t it? lol

Hmm... I only cut a tiny bit. Well, let’s say it is acceptable lol.

Carve the rhythm of time into your heart. Pant, pant...

>>154 Are you fantasizing about Azuki? Or are you panting over Yuri? lol

>>155 I insist that it is Furui... lol

>>153 At what second from the beginning did you cut it? I want to try it too. >>155 It is Hirohito and Hitoshi lol.

“Rage” is talking about “Spiral” in the Azuki thread.

>>157 You are a woman, right?

>>159 As if lol.

>>159 I’m dying laughing.

So far: Yuri panting: 1 vote Azuki panting: 1 vote Okamoto panting: 1 vote Furui panting: 2 votes That is the situation. Any objections? lol

>>161 You are a man, right, yo! Then we will classify you as gay.

85 Name: Rage ◆qoVUMoeA Posted: 02/08/19 22:17 ID:i1t3osCj >>76 (jumping in sideways) It is not “alcohol,” but if we talk about the word “get drunk,” it appears in both “Timeless Sleep” and “Naked Story.” >>77 First, spiral means “a spiral,” right? When you think of a spiral, you think of the double helix of DNA. And DNA is the foundation of life. So I think spiral is used as a word that evokes life, or the vitality of life. Then, the content of the lyrics itself seems to say that although nobody knows what tomorrow will bring, you should start from “where you are now,” from the reality of your existence, and “try to do it” or “take a chance.” In other words, the lyrics sing of a spirit of challenge. I think this spirit of challenge is expressed as spiral, the vitality of life, and that is why it became the title and theme. What do you think? Also, spiral means a whirlpool, so perhaps it carries the meaning of “a chaotic whirlpool of troubled times.” If so, “I’ll take a chance in Spiral” probably means, “The world is chaotic and unsettling, but I am still going to try!” I think “Spiral” contains both of these meanings, like a double entendre.

>>82 Your reply is frighteningly slow, but that is not you, is it?

>>164 Do not summon Rage.

>>163 Please notice that this is a joke. My true feelings: Actually, I am panting over Yuri-san (;´Д｀)

>>146-150 Thanks. Apparently “studio” really can be said that way. Come to think of it, everyone only gets as far as GIZA. But why is it pronounced that way on television? Does GIZA the company want everyone to pronounce it that way?

The foreign-language word is “studio,” right? In English pronunciation, it is “stoo-dee-oh.” It is like the difference between “apple” and “ah-pō.”

>>157 Sorry for the late reply... I think I cut it from the beginning through 18.44 seconds (that precise... lol), which produced exactly that effect.

When will “Divorce Weekly” be updated?

>>171 Thanks. Because you replied late, I was unjustly suspected of something... (depressed laugh)

>>159-160 This place became quite a “rough men’s thread” after appearing on M Station on March 15, and it accelerated again after appearing on M Station on August 16 lol.

According to the Planet Chart, the first-week sales for “Spiral” seem to be 22,000. On Oricon, it is probably around 22,000–25,000. So how many were the first-week sales for “Mysterious Eyes” again? Was it more than this?

The cover of “Music Freak” at the nearby Tsutaya was GARNET CROW, and I could not resist, so I casually took one home... One page is a black-and-white advertisement made from the back cover of “Spiral,” and another page has questions for the four members (an interview?). There is also a two-page spread advertisement using the back cover of “Spiral” in color, for four pages total. Since it was free, I feel like I got a bargain. (Surely everyone already has one... right? lol)

>>132 I understand that feeling very, very well. Where did that original languid, melancholic feeling go?

>>176 Around the release date lately, I make a point of going to HMV to get one. This month I carefully took it home so the sweat would not wrinkle it.

>>178 Instead of worrying about that, take twenty copies home like I do lol. They are free (´∀｀) < Wah-shoi!

>>179 You have quite a big heart lol.

>>179 Hey!!

Are you reselling them on Yahoo Auctions?

× Are you reselling them on Yahoo Auctions? ○ Are you scalping them on Yahoo Auctions?

>>175 “Mysterious Eyes” apparently has cumulative sales just over 60,000. If so, were the first-week sales about the same? But overall CD sales are falling now, so the ranking will be higher.

You did not consider that other people might want them too. Is this a thread overrun by selfish pests?

What is mine is mine, and all the free magazines in the store are mine. What is the problem?

>>187 “Futari no Rocket” is so pitiful. It even had a tie-in with “fiber” (Sen Ijou no Kotoba o Narabetemo)... And both are songs I like.

Unreliable, this half of it, street thugs, let it skim across the water. Why do I suddenly remember the time I competed with people? Choosing tomorrow, and um, yeah yeah, thinking very simply. I still cannot bear being hurt, but because I learned I can grow stronger, even confusion can become something. From where I am now, it is fine to start at any time. Only to me, hey now. Just to me, spiral, an infinite fortune king’s charge. The thing we drew, one thing, let it continue. Just go on like this and catch it; one more than tears, as long as it is there. Ho—yo. Growth-line spiral, never stopping like this, rushing past even if it gets slightly hurt. Something with a lingering aftertaste should be obtainable, the one unshakable thing in this world. Spiralary. Hey now. Fortune people, spiral, an infinite fortune king’s charge. The shape of tomorrow you drew is something that belongs only to you. It is better to meet once more than to part; someday we can build the unshakable thing together. Let go. Growth-line spiral, toward the reality existing over there for you, I want to connect to it as itself. Just being beside you, the sunset we watched together was so beautiful it hurt, as if we had become that. Full day see, you fool, spiral.

>>157 Have you finished cutting it?

>>151 I listened to it. The blurry AKI version at the beginning stays blurry all the way to the end, but overall the 151 version feels tighter and better (except for Akira’s voice at the end).

Wait, is the voice at the end really like that!? Should I cut that part too? lol

△ ( ﾟдﾟ) < Maybe it is actually a voice that was not supposed to be mixed in. (　　) )ノ Is it someone else’s voice? Still, I think it would be better without it.

I cut everything after 3 minutes 24.86 seconds (again, that precise... lol). Akira’s voice has been removed lol.

Could you upload the completed 151 remix for us? lol

But is it okay to upload this? lol

There are no 802 listeners here lol.

Upload it quickly.

http://up.suball.com/up.cgi/suball/20020820230621.mp3 “Naked story”: version with the opening effect-heavy “Naked story...” and Akira’s voice at the end cut out.

The reviews are extremely bad. “Naked Story” remix. I heard it for the first time yesterday. I managed to endure it and listen to the end, then decided I would never listen to it a second time. I deleted it from my playlist. I deleted the file too. (I was listening while ripping it from the CD.) They put effects on Yuri Nakamura’s voice! What an utterly nauseating taste.

Fantastic (*´Д｀) pant, pant.

Spiral is number seven━━━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━━━!!!!!

Fortune King’s Charge is number seven━━━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━━━!!!!! I was curious about the reaction of the Onegai girls. What is with these women?

Two hours and forty minutes left. I feel like I am going to fall asleep...

>>209 Is something happening today?

GARNET CROW is appearing lol.

>>208 I will try saying this: it does not matter if the DQN people dislike us. >>210 A program announced the weekly chart. >>211 They have been looked down on... depressed.

>>210 A TBS radio program. >>212 What program is that? lol

>>210 I said that wrong. >>209 was talking about the TBS radio broadcast. >>213 Wrong reply, sorry. It is a program called “Wan~.”

>>211 Go complain to TBS!!!!

>>208 Their reaction is a little cold. I am curious.

Fortune King: William VI, King of England in the sixteenth century. Loved by the people for his compassionate reign, he was called the Fortune King. (The people called themselves the Fortune people.) Char: A baton. By extension, rule. The Fortune King’s Char: A reign filled with compassion.

>>216 Nakashima, who was number six, was told “No, no, no” several times. Maybe it is better not to react too much. They seem to have a habit of reading the balance of power and making their attitudes obvious.

>>217 I’m dying laughing. But people might take it seriously, so do not do that.

Tower Records has a small GARNET CROW section. I was so conscious of the people around me that I could barely look at it properly...

One hour and forty minutes left. I am already sleepy, so I am going to bed... Someone please write a report lol.

>>216 >>217 I could not help searching Google for “Fortune King” and “William VI” lol. I chose world history in high school.

222 was a reply to >>217 and >>219. I mistyped.

Bakushō Mondai is on right now.

Is it the one called JUNK Tanpopo?

No. It is Rank Junk Box.

It is not on...

Right now. This is the part where Bakushō Mondai appears.

>>228 On that station, the edited Tanpopo version starts at 3:05... Kumamoto is hopeless.

>>187 So “Futari no Rocket” did not sell that well after all. Come to think of it, it is the only single that came with a poster. But perhaps that was a matter of which store you bought it from.

>>229 Apparently they aired those people from 0:00 to 1:00.

>>211 Is this really the level they are still at, or is TBS just slow?

>>220 Other people are not paying as much attention to you as you think.

Ohhh. Miraculously, I can hear a little when I tune to 954...

It’s hereーーーー.

Apparently Nana-san’s hobby is visiting hot springs.

When the topic was yogurt, Nakamura was unusually talkative compared with normal.

Regarding their ambitions for the performances: Nakamura: “Please look forward to live GARNET.” Azuki: “What if all three venues are empty?”

Number seven is better than expected.

Number seven for “Spiral” is good, but I am even more shocked by how far Spitz has fallen.

Mr. Yamura on the TBS radio program is a very capable host. He had a serious conversation. He said it was especially hot on the day of the J*GM9 shoot, and Nakamura got a crescent-shaped sunburn on her back. When they talked about how they spend their days off, Mr. Yamura immediately brought up, “AZUKI Nana can drive safely, right?” If someone who does not know GC’s AZUKI Nana heard that, they would probably just say, “Oh~ so she drives to hot springs,” and leave it at that. Nakamura followed by saying, “Driving is normal,” so apparently there is no problem lol.

Mr. Yamura distributed the questions evenly between the two of them. Nice! (・∀・)

Depressed. I completely forgot about the radio broadcast.

>>239 My prediction (number six) was fairly close.

AZUKI’s way of speaking is so childish. “Tsuyoi” sounds like “chuyoi.”

>>245 She was like that on the last TBS radio show too, speaking in an incredibly cute voice. What explains the contrast with GT? Get to work!

Is the fee for GT relatively low? lol

http://www.dgcr.com/jam/backnumber/012/azuki/azuki.html Is the person in this photo the same Nana-san we saw on M Station a few days ago? Is it just a difference in makeup?

Forty percent makeup, sixty percent retouching, I would say.

[ASCII art of a person with a speech bubble.] “My single is number three~.”

↑ Go die. Nana moe (Nana-san is so cute).

↑ Damn it. Yurippe moe~

I fell asleep during Bakushō Mondai, right at the last commercial break!!

♪ U yai yai yai~

Huh! It fell out of the daily chart!! I hoped it would hold on a little longer, but I guess it really is going to keep falling. I wish it could be like “Chijō no Hoshi.”

Twelve of today’s releases entered the chart, surprisingly.

>>248 If AZUKI-tan from back then had appeared on M Station, it would have been incredible. Yuri-tan is cute, and Nana-san is cute too—double the feeling.

>>257 But the trap of the songs being no good is waiting. LAST LOVE SONG.

>>257 (ﾟДﾟ) Huh?

The new releases on the Oricon daily chart include w-inds., Maki Goto, Chin☆Para, hitomi, Kiyoshi Hikawa, Yellow Generation, panicrew, Toshinori Yonekura, Hekiru Shiina, Chikuzen Sato, Tsuneo Aoyagi, and others. ELT is number 11, THE ALFEE number 13, and aiko number 16 in the same week as GC.

Sorry, I forgot Sonim.

>>258 Leaving aside AZUKI’s comment mentioned in >>257, if they had appeared on television back then, “Last love song” probably could have held its own too, right?

Last love song >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Spiral

>>248 This is a precious photo of AZUKI Nana in her early twenties. Nana-san at her prime, when she broke countless hearts.

Because “Last love song” is short, they should be able to sing almost the whole thing. But of course “flying” became the lead song... If they had appeared on TV around the time of “Mysterious Eyes,” the impression of GC would probably have changed completely.

>>248 Who is this person? The A and B sections of “Last love song” are good; the chorus is just a little lacking.

>>266 Strong agreement. The A and B sections are the best.

I agree too. The A and B sections are intoxicating.

If they were going to sing on television, I would choose “Last love song” over “flying.” Considering both the song itself and their appearance at the time, “flying” did not feel that great. If they had appeared during the “Last love song” period, even with a broken rib, they might have gone down in history as singers who fought valiantly on television lol.

Do people really exist who can hear “Konoha-bune” without looking at the lyrics? It sounds completely like “kono hanbun ne♪,” hey! And I am not just being contrarian—I also think the “muchū de” part sounds like “machi guren.” If you want to know the lyrics, buy the CD. They probably did it on purpose.

>>270 You can make out “Konoha-bune” from the surrounding context. But “universe child” is completely impossible (・∀・)!!

[ASCII art of a person abruptly standing up.] “I have to masturbate.”

I’m dying laughing.

>>274 As a resident of the horse-racing board, when I hear GC, I first think of the Green Channel test.

The retouching is almost as good as the packaging of an adult video. GIZA Studio is really trying hard.

>>278 On the baseball board, it means a Giants vs. Hiroshima game.

>>278 On a game-related board, it means GameCube.

Pinocchio’s little dick. [ASCII art of a person masturbating while scrubbing himself.] “I am not spamming.”

As a Mai Kuraki otaku, when I hear GC, I first think of the Gran Cube Osaka test.

Giant Chimpo.

When I saw AZUKI on television, she seemed completely out of it. I wonder whether she had no motivation, or whether playing had already used up all her energy...

>>285 I vote that she had just woken up.

I vote that she was nervous. Panting over this Nanary (;´Д`)

Where should I call to buy concert tickets? For Osaka, is it Sound Creator? For Fukuoka, Kyodo Nishinippon?

>>288 Look that up yourself.

Honestly, I think anyone who can gather this much information is impressive.

“Little story, little story” (・Ａ・) No.

On the “Meccha E” program’s ranking of female entertainers people would like to attend a fireworks festival with, number one was Kuraki, number two Hamasaki, and number three Aiuchi... It was completely arranged, right?

[ASCII art of a person with a speech bubble.] “My single is number three~. Nana-tan, are you jealous~?”

The old posts were never made into HTML, so they cannot be read. Fortune King’s Char, Henna, and so on... I really want to know what the lyrics mean~

>>292 You did not seriously expect a fair ranking, did you?

Kitahara and Decibel made the chart. Azumi did too. Why did Yurippe not make it?

Do you not all know the reason already?! Yurippe is too beautiful, so the fireworks would fade beside her!!

>>296 Because she has publicly said that she does not like summer.

Yurippe dazzled by the summer sunlight. See? Doesn’t that fit? >297 That is exactly it!

>>296 Besides, even if she went with Nana-tan, the star would be Nana-tan’s proud huge breasts, and the fireworks would inevitably be pushed into a supporting role.

I am the main character. Use that to motivate yourself and conquer women.

>>288 On GIZA STATION, a phone number appeared with the narration, “Tickets are selling quickly, so don’t miss out.”

The GC members feel like they would faint from the sound of fireworks, especially a huge one like a three-shaku ball.

>>303 Really? Azuki feels like she would not even notice if fireworks went off.

Apparently there are still people who cannot get into Yuri Nakamura’s singing voice.

>>291 No matter how you put it, (・Ａ・) no, no. >>292 The fact that two newcomers tied with Utada in the ranking should already seem suspicious. It is difficult to make it onto Meccha E. >>294 “Henna” apparently means “and now.” From recollections of the past, the “Henna” slogan flies into the world of the present. That is the idea.

I want to, I want to.

[ASCII art preserved from the original.]

>>308 Big one, here it comes——

I want to have sex with Yuri Nakamura.

Are you stupid?

That is incredibly stupid.

Am I stupid or what——

Is it fake?

Yuri Nakamura has a bird-like face, while Azuki has a reptile-like face.

By the way, have the people here been fans since their debut? I first learned about the group around “flying.” (Because it was the theme song of some game...) After hearing “Mysterious Eyes” and “Natsu no Maboroshi” on a Detective Conan theme-song compilation, I became hooked immediately. If there are people who only recently became fans, they probably started with “Yume Mita Ato de.”

Shut up, game otaku.

Everyone plays games... (;´Д｀) Are you calling me a game otaku just because of that?

Yuri Nakamura’s little hole——

>>318 Star Ocean is stronger than Tales.

Come to think of it, I dreamed today that I was bathing with AZUKI Nana.

I have kept buying their releases out of inertia since “Kimi no Ie ni Tsuku made Zutto Hashitte Yuku.” It is rare to see an artist whose sales and musical quality are so obviously inversely proportional.

I first heard “Mysterious Eyes” while my little brother was watching Detective Conan and thought it was good. That was the initial trigger. Then I bought a CD because of “Natsu no Maboroshi” and became a fan, and after that I bought the first album and became completely hooked. So in the end, was the trigger “Natsu no Maboroshi” or “Mysterious Eyes”? lol

(　´_ゝ`)_ゝ`)_ゝ`)_ゝ`)_ゝ`)_ゝ`)_ゝ`)

>>321 I want to bathe together with Yuri Nakamura——

>>302 Thanks. But why would it exist before the general sale had started?

>>326 Let me guess: the number that appeared on GIZA Station was fake.

>>322 I have bought things out of inertia since “Mysterious Eyes.” In the end it is more or less the same thing.

(　´_ゝ`)_ゝ`)_ゝ`)_ゝ`)_ゝ`)_ゝ`)_ゝ`)

The past was much better than now. At least that is how I feel. Does anyone else think so? Why not hold a vote here? Which is better, the present or the past? It might also be interesting to write when exactly the past started getting worse.

Whatever.

What a pain.

>>331-332 Exactly.

I lost some motivation after “Yume Mita Ato de.” “Spiral” is probably the worst of GC’s songs. I used to love that niche feeling...

Nine mess.

>>340 After criticizing Japanese pop music, he will start explaining how wonderful foreign music is. Please applaud.

I want to have sex with Yuri Nakamura.

I want to lick Yuri Nakamura.

↓ Larva, go die.

I want to strip Yuri Nakamura naked and hang her from the ceiling.

>>340 What is with the name?

It really is fake, right?

>>2 Will JASRAC give us trouble?

>>341 I forgot to fill in the name.

>>343 JASRAC? Oh, you mean that lousy organization that registered “Eien ni Hōmure” as “Eien ni Houmure” and “A crown” as “crown A.”

http://www.dgcr.com/jam/backnumber/024/garnet/garnet.html Yuri has already become tired of love songs... (´・ω・｀) depressed.

That is depressing.

>>346 Do you like love songs? Even if she is tired of them, that does not mean she will never make them again. There should still be some in stock, so hang in there and keep living.

>>346 I set the bottom cover image directly as my wallpaper, and it turned out terribly.

>>349 Of course it did lol.

AZZUKI speaks like someone her own age.

Thick fingers.

>>346 Yuri’s personality test on GT came out as “short attention span” lol. I hear her view of life also keeps changing. So she will definitely make love songs again.

Fortune King = Yuri Nakamura Fortune people = Hirohito Furui + AZUKI Nana + α

Fortune King’s partners = Hitoshi Okamoto (Oka) + Mochi.

Ms. Yuri Nakamura.

>>354, 355 I’m dying laughing.

Are there no limits on the Fortune King’s partners?

Fortune people’s partners = Miho Komatsu + Azumi Uehara + α

I only know Miho Komatsu by that face. Azumi has goldfish eyes. Disgusting.

Hey! Are you ready for GT!!

Yeah.

>>360 Were you a little embarrassed back at >>344? lol

How do you pronounce the kanji in “taoreru”?

>>322 Compared with the past, I prefer the songs around “LAST LOVE SONG” and “call my name.”

>>361 Because the baseball game ran an hour late (depressed). >>364 That kanji also appears in the lyrics of “last love song.”

>>360 Isn’t the cover of “dance” a straight-on photo? Miho Komatsu.

[ASCII art preserved from the original. The speech bubble says: “Yuri, give Furui back already!”]

>>360 The next album will also have a straight-on photo, or rather a full-body photo (of Miho Komatsu-san)!! >>368 Since they are from the same agency, they should get along better (GC and Komatsu).

>>369 Her face is covered by flowers, though.

Hey, are you ready? AX is about to begin. (Chukyo TV)

>>371 Lucky you.

It is pretty chaotic.

Yuri Nakamura is great~

Yuri Nakamura is cute.

AZUKI is unnecessary.

[ASCII art preserved from the original. The caption complains about the AX broadcast on Sapporo TV and asks what is going on.]

Does this mean Hokkaido broadcasts it a day earlier than Kanto? I have no interest in the little nurse━ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ━(ヽ`Д)━( 　ヽ`)━ヽ(　　　)ﾉ━(ヽ　　)━(Д´ヽ)━ヾ(;ﾟ;Д;ﾟ;)ﾉﾞ━!!!

What happened to GC? Are they really going to appear? I am starting to worry...

Yuri~

>>379 Hokkaido is showing Sonim singing right now. It is already hopeless.

It is over... What is going on? Hokkaido and Tokai. Do they really broadcast it a day earlier than Kanto?

>>382 Is Chukyo showing Arisa Mizuki singing with her terrible voice right now too?

>>383 Yes, terrible Mizuki.

It is over...

What is going on... Why... Someone tell me!

Because that damn baseball game ran an hour late... I stayed awake waiting for it the whole time, and this is how they treat us? What the hell!!

[Approximately 128 copies of the distressed emoticon “(´･ω･`)” preserved from the original.]

Nothing can be done. I will wait for someone to share it over MX. I already downloaded the M Station appearance.

Hey, GC did not appear on AX. Are you kidding me!

[ASCII art preserved from the original. The speech bubble says: “It is not like Tokyo, you know!”]

GARNET CROW did not appear on Chukyo TV (Nippon TV network). Why? This is infuriating. What is going on with AX? I deliberately waited an hour for this. Bastards!!

Could it be delayed by a week? Local stations often do things like that.

GARNET CROW’s official EZweb site is finally coming to au! Great!!

>>393 Next week’s AX guests (August 29) are: Mika Nakashima BoA Yuko Nakazawa. It is probably better to give up... depressed. Still, I can watch CDTV Neo on CBC, so I will get through it with that.

All we have here are countdown programs hosted by BoA and things like that.

Yuri Nakamura is the ultimate moe~

Yuri Nakamura’s debut? ttp://www.geocities.co.jp/Milano-Cat/5428/chinko_u3.swf

Let us bet the souls of the Fortune people that the inspiration for the lyrics of “Spiral” was “a whirlpool.”

Taking the four-hundredth post in a spiral.

>>398 The file name looks suspiciously like an infinite spiral staircase.

>>377 STV would never record “02.”

Uehara appeared on the non-Neo edition of CDTV too...

I recorded AX, but I still have not watched it.

My friend said GARNET CROW seems like a group casually formed by a bunch of music-loving amateurs. He does not really understand them and only said that was the impression he had, but hearing it made me inexplicably sad.

>>405 Furui probably was not even in your friend’s field of vision.

>390 What time period are you talking about? Wasn’t AX last week!

>>405 Sorry. I first learned about GC through “Natsu no Maboroshi,” and I did have that impression.

>Tsutsumi You get out too! You are unnecessary!

Huh!!???

Throw it away♪

Enough with AX, AX already. You are watching “AX MUSIC TV01” (the one with the countdown and so on), right? The appearance is on “AX MUSIC TV02” (probably; Takashi Fujii appears on it). Check properly. If it really is 02 after all, sorry.

>>412 Go die.

>>413 You too. Same to you.

GARNET CROW comments on “MEGA HITS REQUEST”! The first broadcast of “MEGA HITS REQUEST” on Sunday, August 25 will feature comments from Yuri Nakamura and AZUKI Nana of GARNET CROW!

Azuki is one of the world’s twelve most important grain-legume crops. It is widely cultivated in China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. It is also produced or studied in several other countries, including the United States (Minnesota and Washington), Argentina, and Australia. In Japan, azuki is an indispensable ingredient in sekihan, festive red rice, and sweet an paste. Botanically, it was formerly classified in the genus Phaseolus, but has recently been moved to the genus Vigna, alongside relatives such as mung beans and black gram. This book is the first comprehensive work on the crop. It draws extensively on Chinese, Japanese, and other East Asian literature and is based on a review of approximately 1,000 published papers. It is an authoritative reference that should greatly increase interest in the crop. The book is intended for scholars worldwide who study grain legumes, as well as other researchers in agriculture and food science.

Everyone in this thread is shit.

(´･ω･`) Shit.

What does “Spiral” actually mean...

Azuki is one of the twelve most important grain legumes in the world and is widely grown in China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. It has also been produced or studied in several other countries, including the United States (Minnesota and Washington), Argentina, and Australia. In Japan, azuki is an essential ingredient in sekihan, the festive rice dish, and in sweetened bean paste. Botanically, it formerly belonged to the genus Phaseolus, but it was recently transferred to the genus Vigna along with relatives such as mung beans, chickpeas, and rice beans. This book is the first comprehensive study of the crop. It makes extensive use of Chinese, Japanese, and other East Asian literature and is based on a survey of approximately 1,000 published references. It is a definitive reference work that should greatly increase interest in the crop. It is aimed at researchers around the world working on grain legumes, as well as others in agriculture and food science.

Azuki is twelve years old.

Tell me the real lyrics.

Stop messing around. What are you talking about?

What is a round-number post supposed to be? Does 12044 count as one? Does 22377 count as one? They are not round at all. So many shabby websites call themselves that. They deserve a beating!

>>443 People who cannot distinguish smooth bean paste from chunky bean paste probably do not know details like that either.

>>448 Whether it is 12044 or 22377, it is a round-number post if you personally feel it is one!

Whenever this band’s songs come on, I feel sick. I do not know whether they are confident about their looks, but why do they always want to show off their photos? No matter how much advertising or how many tie-ins they do, they cannot sell. What a self-obsessed band.

“Hey, I downloaded it with MX, so I do not know the lyrics to ‘Spiral.’ Teach me.” “Sure. Uh... (quotes a short excerpt from the English lyrics)...” “Hey, stop brushing me off. Teach me properly.” “...Sorry. Fortune people, spiral, the limitless Fortune King’s Char...” “Uh-huh, I see. Thanks. By the way, what does this actually mean?” “I am not really sure either. It seems to mean something like a compassionate reign or something. That is roughly what someone wrote on 2ch a few days ago.” “Oh~, I see. But why does GC sing something like that?” “...I do not know.”

( ´_ゝ｀) So stupid.

>>451 I would not call them a band. People like different things.

>>451 The fact that you call them a “band” tells me you are an old-fashioned middle-aged man. By your logic, DREAMS COME TRUE and Every Little Thing are bands too, right? Your age is showing.

>>452 Whose conversation is that supposed to be?

ttp://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/0946672245/ref=sr_aps_d_1_5/249-7329522-0623527 ↑ Does anyone know this? The author seems to be called AZUKI. Searching AZUKI on Amazon brought up this book and the book in >>435.

>>451 Generally speaking, without a drummer it is not a band, right? >>452 If you want to know the lyrics, at least rent the CD. “Limitless universe child.”

>>455 DCT and ELT both perform with the persuasive force of a band when they play live. 451 just treats every group as a band.

>>458 Bass too.

What category are these people in? Are they on a mainstream path like ELT?

Sales are lower than “Mysterious Eyes.” I am worried about the next release. Without a good tie-in, they will fall out of the charts again.

>>452 If someone has only the music and not the lyrics, they may be an MX user. They could be reported. >>461 If there were more than 500,000 people like you buying them, they could count as a hit.

If they are not a band, are they a creative group?

Go die, >451. [ASCII art of a tractor running over a person, with an arrow pointing to “←>451,” preserved as a description.]

451 probably thinks everything except a solo act counts as a band. Tsk, what an idiot.

>>463 Rather than a problem with the tie-in, the song itself may be the problem. The next single will probably be released in autumn or winter, so it probably will not be another fast-paced song like this one.

>>451 The PV is so desperate that it uses still images rather than even calling them video. Who else could they bring in? They are worried about labor costs. They put thought into the backgrounds, but filming at locations around Osaka every time becomes repetitive. CG? Give me a break. They cannot even keep up with updating the official website. Where would they find technicians capable of making something like that?

>>468 They said on the radio a few days ago that they would be too busy with live performances alone through autumn. There is also HOT ROD, and Okamoto probably wants to do a solo project. The next work may be around winter. I want to hear a Christmas song with the feeling of “in little time” or “Timeless Sleep.”

>>470 A couple agree to meet on Christmas night. But when the appointed time comes, he never arrives. He was hit by a car while crossing the street... The lyrics would probably become something like that lol.

The tie-in is bad. Only middle-aged men who like baseball watch late-night sports programs.

>>471 (∩д｀)

>>472 Not necessarily. Even female high-school students watch them lately. There are plenty of girls who like soccer or baseball too. The question is whether those girls actually care about the song...

I was startled to hear “Henna” on a sports program.

It is sad that the keyboardist sister is cuter than the vocalist. It is painful to watch. The vocalist girl is probably forcing herself to serve as the front person while feeling inferior to that keyboardist woman. When you think of it that way...

>>476 Is that so? Yurippe is fairly popular too, right? (Though GARNET’s popularity itself may not be very high...)

>>476 Isn’t it the other way around?

>>476 That is not true. She may have been cute before, but now she has aged quite a bit. She may instead be jealous of Nakamura’s youth.

Yurippe sometimes does not photograph well. I feel the SPARKLE cover photo is her best. The angle on the “Spiral” cover is not very good.

>>476 Are you a newcomer too? Go read the old logs!

>>476 I suggest you look here first: http://music.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/musicj/1028857609/l50

Nothing can be done. ttp://images.google.co.jp/images?q=AZUKI&hl=ja&lr=&ie=UTF-8&inlang=ja&sa=N&tab=wi

Before appearing on television: AZUKI >>> Nakamura After appearing on television: Nakamura ≧ AZUKI That is probably the feeling, judging from the early days of this thread.

(´･ω･`) I see.

Miho Yoshioka spiraling in the background of “Spiral” (;´Д`) pant, pant. ttp://www.sanspo.com/geino/g_top/fr_g_top11.html

When I listened to the Super Countdown program on Cultural Broadcasting yesterday, Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi called in a request for this song.

What is that supposed to mean?

Has “Little Story, Little Story” still not been updated~?

I feel as if they themselves have not done anything. They used to be this kind of group all the time.

Hey, it is a fireworks festival today, yet it is pouring rain. And of all nights, it rains tonight. What is going on, Yurippe?

>>491 [ASCII art of a person saying “It is not raining,” teasing and contradicting the previous post.]

I think GARNET CROW’s sound is beautiful. Judging only by the natural transparency and vibrato of the voice, it would not be an exaggeration to call it the best in the music world. It may be more beautiful than Do As Infinity.

Sink this thread.

I want to listen to her live, unprocessed voice every day.

>>492 Was that the Fortune King?

...Why can everyone say funny things so calmly?

>>491 = an unfortunate person.

ttp://www.ctb.ne.jp/~ya86432/hpjpg/xpknee2.jpg Spiral.

I want to listen to her moans every day.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I want to sleep with Yuri-tan~

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I want Nana-chan to pin me down and control me~

Should I become one of the Fortune people?

[ASCII art of a “delusion rescue hospital” vehicle arriving, preserved as a description.]

I want to lick Yuri Nakamura-chan’s filthy little hole.

>>506 Korean, go die.

[ASCII art of a procession carrying the Fortune King, Yurippe, and Nana, preserved as a description.]

I wonder if they can enter the Hippare chart.

[ASCII art of a distressed person, with the caption “It is already over...,” preserved as a description.]

Although it is basically impossible for them to enter the Hippare chart, when I imagine Chinen Rina singing “Fortune King’s Char~♪,” I can still pant a little (;´Д`).

After watching the “Spiral” PV, I thought Nakamura looked just like a doll.

AZUKI seems like someone who could pass the Level 2 Kanji Proficiency Test easily...

The “Spiral” PV is really halfhearted. If they are going to insert still images, they should include more moving footage. The Okamoto-plus-Mochi home-run tag play that they joked about on J☆GM before might actually have been better.

>>513 That is true.

So when will the next new single come out? I am tired of “Spiral” already.

↑ Apon disappeared.

CDTV.

Number seven is hereーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー!!

“Spiral” is here━━━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━━━!!!!!

>>517 The earliest would be December. But they may not release anything else this year.

>>520, 521 It is still exciting, after all.
