小松未歩とガーネットクロウ

Which one is better? In every respect…

Miho Komatsu sells better.

They’re evenly matched in terms of unstable singing. Evenly matched in terms of cuteness. Evenly matched in terms of being under GIZA. Because AZUKI Nana’s presence is overwhelmingly strong, I vote for GARNET CROW. But when it comes to taste in songs, I prefer Miho Komatsu.

I vote for GARNET CROW.

I can’t choose!… But lately I’ve listened to GARNET CROW more, so I’ll vote for GARNET CROW for now. I really like Komatsu’s voice, though.

Miho Komatsu’s current total CD sales are about 2.5 million copies. CDs connected with songs she provided total about 1.5 million.

Best ranking: Komatsu 3rd, GARNET 4th. Lowest ranking: Komatsu 30th, GARNET 47th.

Major-debut dates: Miho Komatsu: May 28, 1997 (the earliest GIZA artist). GARNET: March 29, 2000 (discovered by Hiroto Furui from Komatsu’s circle).

I thought the song in the FamilyMart commercial was by Miho, but it turned out to be Folder.

It really is easy to mistake them, >>9.

I choose GARNET. I can listen to them on endless repeat. Komatsu’s voice gets tiring after a while, like ZARD’s.

Speaking of which, Miho Komatsu doesn’t actually exist… She’s computer-generated, right?

Miho Komatsu = CG ≒ GC, is that what you mean? I’ve seen the real Miho in a magazine, though.

By the way, I think Miho is better. Her voice is gentle and pleasant, and I think she’s a technically skilled singer.

>>13 That was a part-time worker.

Both are among the top GIZA acts (not in terms of popularity or sales). But I’ve followed Komatsu longer, so GARNET CROW is probably still one step behind.

It’s a matter of personal taste. At most, GC’s arrangements have been a little better lately.

>>17 So you mean Hiroto Furui is the more skilled one after all?

I wouldn’t go so far as to say Furui is amazing, but compared with Oga, his arrangements are much more solid.

“dance” passed 8,000 copies in its first week.

I wish they would form a group and make music together under the name “Komatsu GARNET.” The song title could be “Mysterious Phantom”!!

>>21 “Mysterious” and “phantom”—how meaningfulｗ

The conclusion is that both are (・∀・) good!! Though lately I’ve been listening to GC more (confession). >>3 AZUKI Nana really does have a huge presence. >>21 (・∀・) Good!! I wish they would do it!

It’s unusual for the keyboardist to write the lyrics and the vocalist to compose the music. Miho is a little like Hitomi Manaka, though.

This thread is moving so slowly! Extremely slowly! Why? Is nobody watching, or do people not know? It’s Miho Komatsu and GARNET CROW. They’re already at the top of GIZA, right? I thought there would be lots of people who loved both, but apparently not. How sad.

Miho Komatsu is still better, right? She sings better than Ayumi Hamasaki and Hikaru Utada, and she’s prettier.

I think she’s also much better than Rina Aiuchi, ZARD, B’z, and the rest. Miho’s song quality is quite high. I think she’ll definitely appear on Kōhaku this year.

>>26 Correction: Nishida → Utada. Typo…

>>25 That’s me. I love both Miho Komatsu and GARNET CROW. The two pillars of GIZA.

Musically, I think both are top-tier within GIZA, but their singing is barely passing for both. Still, I like them a lot. In terms of singing, the mass-produced top tier is probably Aiuchi and Maho (is she still around?)

>>29 Agreed—baldly. >>30 I agree with the second half. How well someone sings and whether you like that artist don’t necessarily match.

You’re very level-headed. Liking an artist can easily make you lose objectivity. Maybe this is the right approach, but following one path all the way is refreshing too.

>>31 Agreed. The media often promotes people by saying their singing is (・∀・) good, but the major artists aren’t necessarily that great vocally. Also, artists who attract attention by making vocal ability their selling point disappear before you know it…

I like both Miho Komatsu and GARNET CROW quite a lot, and I think their lyrics and music are good. I don’t like recent Miho Komatsu very much… the first album is the best. I get tired of GARNET CROW’s albums as I listen (I only listen to the songs I like), whereas I can listen to Komatsu’s all the way through. That’s why I prefer Komatsu. Aiuchi’s two albums also have no filler tracks, so I think they’re good. But in terms of looks, Miho Komatsu is better.

>>34 It’s (・∀・) good to use many different arrangers, after all. Using the same person constantly makes the songs lose variety. It’s rare for arrangers to have such a large effect on an artist. Aiuchi has become prettier lately too. I can listen to the albums by Miho Komatsu, GARNET CROW, and Aiuchi from beginning to end.

[ASCII art preserved from the original.] I vote for Miho Komatsu!

GC’s vocalist sings in such a muffled way that it’s uncomfortable. The songs are merely okay too.

The issue isn’t singing ability, nor the expressiveness of the lyrics or melodies. It’s simply whether the songs they make suit your taste. That’s all.

Miho Komatsu’s songs are several times more difficult. I think her singing ability is about the same as Kohmi Hirose’s.

>>39 http://music.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/musicj/1022148950/l50 According to this thread, the singing rankings are: G — Kohmi Hirose I — Yuri Nakamura J — Miho Komatsu, and so on. Everyone ranks so low.

I feel like Miho Komatsu’s and Azumi Uehara’s vocal timbres are very similar.

[ASCII art preserved from the original.] I vote for Detective Komiyama!

I wonder which is older, Miho Komatsu or Yuri Nakamura??

>>39–40 That’s strange no matter how you look at it. I was saying that Kohmi Hirose sings better.

As for age: AZUKI ≧ Komatsu > Nakamura. That’s how I remember it.

!!!!! Miho Komatsu !!!!!!!

Yuri Nakamura looks young. Are Miho Komatsu and AZUKI Nana around 25?

If anything, Nakamura is 25 this year. Komatsu and AZUKI are older than her.

Komatsu has a history of using a vocoder, right?

What is a vocoder? Komatsu has tremendous technique and talent. She’s amazing, right???

>>42 Who is this person?

Miho Komatsu.

Miho’s rock.

Give gentle rock back to Miho Komatsu >> GARNET CROW.

I don’t dislike GARNET, but I like “call my name” more. For Miho, I like the sustained note in the chorus of “regret.”

Go, Miho!!

“Garnet Hardship” made me think the singer was Conan-kun for a moment. Is it nasal, or should I call it a distinctive voice?

Minami Takayama?

I thought the same thing the first time I heard them.

Miho Komatsu really is great.

>>21 “Mysterious phantom, close your eyes, you’re the very first person I remember. Watching the dancing lights, I won’t forget—ahh, the mystery is being solved~♪” Not bad.

>>21 Over a thousand wishes.

Who has that many wishes?ｗ So greedyｗｗ

Rocket standing on ice.

>>60 Pervert.

>>21 Keep running by the shortest route until I reach your house.

>>21 “Sparkle dance.”

>>21 GARNET CROW and Miho Komatsu (the Being girls).

I’m an Azumi Uehara fan, but lately I’ve started thinking GARNET CROW and Miho Komatsu are pretty good too.

What’s good about Azumi Uehara?

There’s a super beautiful woman in GARNET CROW…

>>70 I was praising her, and this is the reply I get?

>71 Don’t worry about it. This is 2ch.

Miho really is beautiful.

>>68 the★tambourines and Arisa Tsujio (the Amemura O-Town girls)—is that no good?

>>68 It’s at least somewhat interesting.

The rumor among fans is that AZUKI Nana is 29 and Yuri Nakamura is 24. But it’s only a rumor.

There’s also a rumor that Aika Ohno is 22…

With GARNET CROW songs, even if your first reaction is “Hmm?…,” there are many songs you gradually get hooked on after a few listens.

>77 Yuri Nakamura being 24 came from animal fortune-telling and her birthday, didn’t it?

Yuri Nakamura’s age of 24 was publicly announced.

>>78 Isn’t Ohno 25 or 26? No matter how old she is, with that face… She brought out a face that shouldn’t be shown in public.

>>82 Is Ohno’s appearance really that bad? I thought she looked fairly decent in the album advertisement.

>>82 You shouldn’t say things like that.

Was it last month’s J*GM?

>>83 I was fooled by the album advertisement at first too. >>85 That’s right. J*GM is a GIZA (or rather, entire Being) trade magazine, but it seems to show artists’ nearly makeup-free faces. That bizarre, insect-like face… it’s creepy.

There’s no need to go that far… though I don’t like Ohno either.

>>88 >>89 Pistol Miffy, don’t you think Ohno’s face is disgusting?

>>82 = 86 You’re the disgusting one.

[ASCII art preserved from the original.] We are the vicious bumping brothers! Even with no topic today, we’ll bump this thread!

[ASCII art preserved from the original.] We are the vicious bumping brothers! Even with no topic today, we’ll bump this thread!

At least use text. The ASCII art is so long it’s painfully embarrassing to look at.

This kind of thread is no good. Both sides make remarkably good music, so go post in each artist’s dedicated thread instead.

Komatsu sings well and is cute!!

>>97 I’m a GARNET CROW fan, but honestly, this thread is hard to approach…

>>97 is right. The Japanese music board rules also say one thread per artist. >>99 is being selfish.

That thread constantly belittles other artists, and longtime fans get furious reading it.

>>101 People have said that before and started a separate thread outside this one. Either way, the fact that this violates the Japanese music board rules is indisputable. As for “constantly belittling other artists,” this thread is no different.

>>102 I was only venting in this thread, and you have a point. I basically don’t write about GARNET CROW on 2ch.

Ah… it hurts, it hurts, it hurts.

I see. After reading this thread, I can understand what >>99 and >>101 said. >>100’s statement is also indisputable. One thing is clear: the online world is vast. In other words, 2ch isn’t the only place where GARNET CROW fans can communicate.

Does Miho Komatsu have lots of profile shots in her PVs?

Because Komatsu is computer-generated.

Because Komatsu is going to join GC.

We already said we don’t need someone like Komatsu. And stop bumping this lousy thread on purpose, idiot.

GC’s lyrics are good.

>>110 Redirect: http://music.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/musicj/1024495537/l50

Anyway, GC is garbage.

Bump for GIZA.

Someone said I look like Komatsu.

>>114 Miho Komatsu Midori?

O-Matsu.

Bump.
